Red Alert 1895
Chapter 208: Nanyang Chinese (Part 2)
Wang Guorui saw that these Nanyang Chinese had no confidence in fighting against the Dutch, so Wang Guorui took them to his cruiser detachment and showed them his five cruisers and some auxiliary ships. 【Hundreds\\|Du\\|Search\\|Classic\\|Dictionary\\|Small\\|Said\\|More\\|New\\|Most\\|Fast] Then these Nanyang Chinese were shocked They were speechless, this made them feel very shocked. Because they have never seen such a huge ship with their own eyes, and this is a cruiser with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons, and it is all made of steel, which is much better than those iron-framed ships.
"Is this really our Chinese ship?" Liu Zhao asked.
Wang Guorui said affirmatively: "Yes, this is our Taiwan ship. It has a displacement of 5,000 tons. The Dutch warships you usually see are probably iron-framed warships, right? Let me tell you the truth, the Dutch People are actually just paper tigers. The iron-ribbed warships they currently have are pretty good. Their iron-ribbed warships are no match for cruisers like us. We can knock them out with one shot. So you don’t need them at all. Don't worry, we can use it to fight the Dutch."
And Liu Zhao saw these warships, and felt that things were not so bad. Because they are afraid that after mainland China calls, they will be beaten back again, so the Chinese who stay in Nanyang will be very miserable. Because if those local natives are jealous, then I'm afraid they are really going to die. And they are also worried about those foreigners, and those foreigners are probably also very scary. They know that the most terrifying thing about foreigners is strong ships and sharp guns. And now China also has strong ships and sharp guns, and it looks better than the strong ships and sharp guns of foreigners. This gives them a lot of confidence.
"Governor Wang, are you really confident that you can defeat these Dutchmen?" Zhu Tianya, the patriarch of the Zhu family, asked.
And Wang Guorui immediately said: "Of course, I will definitely be able to make these Dutch people grandchildren!"
Zhu Tianya thought for a while, and then immediately said: "Governor Wang, I hope to send some members of our family surnamed Zhu to join your army, and then form a small army, a platoon of about thirty people. Participate!"
And Wang Guorui heard this. Immediately felt a little happy, because the Zhu family of Zhu Tianya also expressed their cooperation. Of course Wang Guorui knew that he wanted to conquer Nanyang. That must cooperate with the local head snake. Western colonists chose to cooperate with the local aborigines, and then exploited the Chinese together. Naturally, Wang Guorui couldn't cooperate with the aborigines like the Western colonists, and he has another group of people, namely the local Chinese. If you can pull the local Chinese into your camp, you can not only rely on their familiarity with the terrain. And they have lived here for many years and have a lot of wealth. And as long as they are willing to cooperate, not to mention allowing them to be completely close as a family, but at least being able to make some exchanges fairly is enough.
And these local Chinese have a lot of supplies, if Wang Guorui can buy some with wealth, it is completely profitable. Even if the price is slightly higher, it is worth it. Because Wang Guorui's logistics and sea supply route is too long, not only personnel, weapons and ammunition must be transported in the rear, but also food supplies. And the food is not in a hurry, which also takes up a lot of transportation capacity. If a large amount of food can be purchased locally, it can save a lot of food supply capacity from the rear, which can bring more ammunition from the rear. Even if more ammunition is provided, An can be used to transport more troops in the future.
These are still in terms of logistics supplies. If we can cooperate with the local people, it will be of great help to social stability in the future. Since ancient times, foreign officials have to cooperate with local snakes, and this is already a normal phenomenon. And Taiwanese Chinese and these immigrants have the same language and race, which means that there is a basis for cooperative stores. After all, we are all of the same nationality. There is no problem in exploiting the natives together.
And now that the Zhu family is willing to send more than thirty family members surnamed Zhu to train as a platoon, that is already very remarkable. Because it is like this kind of Chinese who went out to Nanyang. Their family system has been completely broken up, so the population of each family is not very rich. Although the Zhu family controls a Chinese population of about a thousand people, there are not many of these people with the surname Zhu, and there are less than two hundred men in the Zhu family, and many of them are just purely surnamed Zhu. There are no more than a hundred close blood relatives. The other 800 people are also people with foreign surnames. And if the Zhu family can send out about thirty people with the surname Zhu, that's almost half of the young men. With these more than 30 young men, it is said that it is an army, and its political significance is far greater than its military significance.
With these thirty men, they are actually a kind of hostages, which means that the Zhu family has completely surrendered to Wang Guorui. As for the combat effectiveness of this small army, Wang Guorui didn't think too much about it. What Wang Guorui liked was the political significance in it. Since then, Zhu's family has joined the Taiwan side, which is equivalent to becoming a family with themselves, and the Taiwan side is equivalent to having the support of a local snake family in Nanyang, so naturally it can have a good start.
"Okay, it's very good that the Zhu family can sincerely work hard for us Chinese to seek justice. So I plan to temporarily appoint Zhu Tianya, the patriarch of the Zhu family, as the prefect of Riau Prefecture to replace us in Taiwan to manage the entire Riau Prefecture. Comprehensive matters. The officials of the Liao Nei Mansion are temporarily appointed by the Zhu family themselves, and we in Taiwan will make adjustments and transfers according to the situation." Wang Guorui said.
Now that they have taken refuge, Wang Guorui has no choice but to reciprocate and appoint them to important positions. And this Liao Nei Mansion is actually a mansion established by Wang Guorui himself, and its status is similar to that of foreign cities. But now Taiwan still uses the past, called prefect prefect and so on. Wang Guorui doesn't think that this kind of magistrate will affect the process of modernization, because it's not the same in Japan. Even in the 21st century, they call the mayor a governor, so it doesn't matter. And since the country is still relatively able to accept this traditional title, Wang Guorui has not changed it.
And this Riau Prefecture is actually the Riau Islands. At that time, Taiwan will set up a management agency here, and the current first prefect of Riau Prefecture is also held by Zhu Tianya. Of course, this kind of situation where local people serve as local leaders must be eliminated, after all, nepotism must be eliminated. Although ancient China was feudal, it also realized that it was necessary to put an end to nepotism. For example, it was a practice in ancient times that local people could not be officials in the local area. This is an important method to maintain national unity. At present, although a local person is appointed to work in the local area, he must be adjusted in the future.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, I will definitely work for Mr. Wang!" Zhu Tianya said excitedly.
Zhu Tianya did not expect that Wang Guorui was so generous that he directly handed over the Riau Islands to him. And Zhu Tianya knew that this time was an opportunity to develop his own family, as long as they could obtain the right to be the first magistrate of Riau in the future, then they might be able to take advantage of this time to become a big family in Nanyang. As long as Wang Guorui defeated the Dutch, it would not be a problem for An to become the largest family in Nanyang. And this development opportunity is very difficult to obtain. However, all of this required Wang Guorui to defeat the Dutch in Nanyang, otherwise it would be very difficult for them to develop.
When the other four families heard what Zhu Tianya said, they couldn't help but regret in their hearts. They were a step too slow in expressing their loyalty and let the Zhu family take the lead. If he can seize this opportunity, it is really possible to become an important family in Nanyang.
"Lord Wang, we are also willing to cooperate with Taiwan and send family members to form an army for your use, Sir Wang!" Liu Zhao and the others also shouted quickly.
Obviously, they began to have confidence in Wang Guorui, thinking that Wang Guorui can defeat the Dutch ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As long as Wang Guorui can defeat the Dutch, then they can take the opportunity to board Wang Guorui's big ship, so that You can get the opportunity to develop the family, and then become an important family in Nanyang. If they don't take the opportunity to seek refuge, there will be more people willing to seek refuge in the future. If they can become the first batch, it must be very important. If there are too many people to turn to and they fail to seize the opportunity, then Wang Guorui will not even look down on them. Adding icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow, and they all understand this truth. Now that Wang Guorui needs the cooperation of the local bosses, if he doesn't hurry up and become the first group of people to seek refuge, it may be very difficult to seize the opportunity to develop the family.
"Okay, you immediately send your family members to work for me together. As long as you can defeat those Dutch, and then vent your anger on us Chinese, then we will definitely do our best for the country." Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui immediately urged them to send members of the family. Anyway, it didn't take long to form an army. Anyway, the symbolic meaning of these people was far greater than the actual meaning, and these people were half hostages. In this way, they are used as people in Taiwan, so they are not afraid of their betrayal. If they dare to betray, then the people they send here will also be unlucky. You must know that these are all young members of their family, and they can be regarded as their important successors. If something unexpected happens to these young family members, then their family will really collapse, so they will hardly betray. (to be continued)
