(What else can Yutou say? In yesterday's chapter, due to Yutou's carelessness, there were mistakes that shouldn't have happened. The Chukchi brothers pointed them out, and Yutou made corrections... But unexpectedly, the Chukchi brothers gave him a reward right away. Yutou was really overwhelmed with emotions. It shouldn't have been a mistake, but the Chukchi brothers were so tolerant... One more chapter.)

The Chinese have always had the habit of going to Southeast Asia.

Especially in Fujian and Zhejiang, when the local Chinese had nowhere to go, many of them went to Southeast Asia to make a living.

Don't dislike the harsh term "desperate", as it is true in fact. The Chinese have the tradition of "parents are there, don't travel far away", and there is also the saying "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out". If they were not desperate, no one would leave their hometown and live under someone else's roof.

Many Chinese who went to Southeast Asia have made a career in Southeast Asia with their intelligence and hard work.

This shows that the Chinese are indeed smart, and on the other hand, it also shows that the natives of Southeast Asia are indeed unbearable.

Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng are the best among the Chinese who went to sea to make a living.

When seeing Misha delivering tea, Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng looked at each other, and Huang Bohan nodded imperceptibly.

"Qin, I'm back." Pierre's triumphant voice came over.

"Done?" Qin Zhiyuan was concerned about Pierre's task.

"Yes, everything is done. You'd better prepare some good things to give to the old man..." Pierre walked into the living room and found that there was a guest: "Uh... Sorry, it seems that I came back at the wrong time."

Seeing Pierre coming in, Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng stood up.

Qin Zhiyuan stood up and introduced: "This is my chief of staff, Pierre, Pierre Foch."

Pierre's surname played a role again. This time, without looking at each other, Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng both nodded.

"These two are my compatriots, we are just chatting." Qin Zhiyuan said casually.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Pierre, I am Huang Bohan, please take me to say hello to Mr. Foch." Huang Bohan introduced himself.

"Do you know my father?" Pierre, who originally wanted to go upstairs to harass Micha, turned around and sat on the sofa, casually as if he was in his own living room.

"I have met him once." Huang Bohan was a little reserved.

"Oh, he is not in a good situation now." Pierre did not shy away from Foch's loss of power.

"A blessing in disguise, maybe tomorrow will be a blessing in disguise." Huang Bohan pretended to be a charlatan.

Huang Bohan has lived abroad for a long time, and speaks French better than Qin Zhiyuan. At least in the translation of ancient Chinese, Huang Bohan is more proficient than Qin Zhiyuan.

"Very interesting! What are you talking about? Can I join in?" Pierre became interested.

"Of course, Mr. Huang and I are here to ask General Qin for protection." Huang Bohan said shockingly.

"Protection?" Qin Zhiyuan knew that the situation of the Chinese in Nanyang was not good, but he did not expect that it had reached the point where protection was needed.

Nanyang usually refers to Luzon and Borneo, which are now colonies of the United States and the Netherlands. Relatively speaking, the situation of the Chinese in Borneo is even worse. Unlike the meaning of the Chinese in the 21st century in another time and space, the Nanyang Chinese at this time are Chinese, not Chinese. Since the Dutch colonists occupied Borneo, a large number of people were migrated from the Qing Dynasty to enrich the Borneo region. The means used were not very glorious. There were immigrants who were recruited in name but abducted in reality, and there were direct kidnappings.

Since the global "slave trade" stopped, the Chinese, as the world's largest labor market, have been lured to every corner of the world. From the United States to Cuba, from Batavia to Paris, there are traces of Chinese everywhere.

It is worth noting that many of these people are Chinese nationals, not so-called Chinese, but standard Chinese.

"Yes, we need protection." Huang Bohan looked sad, his voice was low, and he suppressed his grief: "The living conditions of the Chinese in Borneo are extremely bad. If the country does not lend a helping hand, I am afraid that in the long run, there will be unspeakable tragedies."

The living conditions of the Chinese in Borneo are so bad, and the brutality and shamelessness of the Dutch are really innumerable. The Chinese are smart and capable. When the Dutch invaded Borneo, the Chinese actually controlled all aspects of Borneo, from plantations to handicraftsmen, sailors, masons, hawkers, etc., as long as there is a little technical content in the work, it is occupied by the Chinese. The local natives can only do coolies, hired workers, farmers and other unskilled jobs.

After the Dutch colonists learned the truth, in order to maintain their rule, they began to suppress the prestige of the Chinese in all aspects from the 18th century, to provoke the relationship between the Chinese and the locals, and consolidate their rule. However, the Chinese had a solid foundation, and the Dutch's various methods were not very effective. So in 1740, the Dutch created the "Red River Massacre", the most shameless scene in human history. Tens of thousands of Chinese were massacred, and the Dutch finally took full control of Borneo.

"General Qin didn't know that the Dutch imposed heavy taxes in Borneo. We Chinese had to pay taxes on everything we used. There was a house tax for the house we lived in, a furniture tax for the furniture we used, a head tax for the birth of a child, and even a tax for planting a tree and raising a horse. And the tax was much higher than that of other races. For every guilder they paid, we had to pay five or even ten guilders." Huang Jinsheng added.

"Not only do we have to pay taxes, the Dutch have also stipulated where we Chinese can live. We cannot move around or even move around at will. We Chinese cannot wear suits or go to baths. Our children cannot even go to school. Dutch and local schools do not allow our children to go, and we are not allowed to run our own schools. This is to destroy the foundation of our culture. When we are in court, others can stand or sit, but we can only squat in shackles. Those Dutch police often call us Chinese "Chinese pigs" and insult us." Huang Bohan's eyes are wide open.

The Netherlands is a typical parasite. They have lost the glory of the "Sea Coachman" and are relying on the colonies passed down by their ancestors to survive. They do not seek to make progress, they only want to keep those colonies and continue to maintain the current status. They are satisfied.

"The living conditions of the Chinese in Borneo are poor. They should seek help from China. Why did they run here? Qin is out of reach and I am afraid I can't do anything." Qin Zhiyuan sympathizes with the Chinese in Borneo, but now Qin Zhiyuan has more important things to do and can't spare his hands.

"General Qin, it's not that we are seeking help from far away, but we really have no other choice, so we come to you." Huang Bohan shook his head painfully, with a look of regret.

"As early as 50 years ago, starting from Huang's father's generation, they requested the then Qing Dynasty to set up a consulate in Borneo, but they never got their wish. It was not until five years ago that the Qing Dynasty signed the "Consular Treaty of Dutch Territory and Colony" with the Dutch. I thought that the clouds had finally cleared and the sun rose, but the domestic revolution broke out again. It was not until three years ago that the Javanese consul arrived in Batavia." Huang Bohan thought of the sadness of his father's generation and couldn't help but shed tears.

"I thought that the situation would improve after the Javanese consul arrived, and the living environment of the Chinese would be improved. However, the consul and the Kapitan colluded with each other, ignored the Chinese, and only took it as their responsibility to hire Chinese workers from the country to Borneo for profit. They did not seek the welfare of the Chinese at all, and the living environment of the Chinese has deteriorated. Last month, a Chinese family in Coconut City was shot and killed. When the Dutch police reported it, they actually said it was caused by wild beasts. When the consulate was reported, the consulate actually blamed the local chamber of commerce for not helping each other. It was really shameless." Huang Jinsheng added.

It was really shameless.
