The principal and teacher of this elementary school is a girl, her name is Huang Wanxia, and she is one of the first batch of graduates of Ryukyu Chinese Normal University.
In that era, it was difficult for women to become teachers, and the employment environment was very cruel. Most of the female teachers who graduated from normal schools became private teachers for the female relatives of wealthy families, or teachers in girls' schools.
Their employment scope is very narrow. Although Xiao Letian has always preached the advantages of female teachers, the power of tradition is still very strong in a short period of time, and most parents are willing to find a male teacher for their children.
At this time, with the support of Xiao Letian, the strength of the Chinese in Nanyang skyrocketed, and there were more and more Chinese schools. However, the colonial authorities did not dare to intimidate excessively in order to take Xiao Letian's face into consideration, so a large number of teacher vacancies suddenly appeared in the Nanyang region. .
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Wanxia resolutely accepted the contract from the Bailayi Chinese Business Association, crossed the ocean and came to Borneo to become the person in charge of a primary school.
Within a few years, her school had the best results, especially the fact that she educated a large number of children from indigenous tribes, giving her a high reputation among many tribes.
In this war, all the tribes who received her favor chose neutrality and did not participate in any robbery activities. These tribes undoubtedly became models of pro-Chinese tribes and were rewarded by the Chinese.
In this battle of the Baran River, a small group of young men from pro-Chinese tribes also participated in the battle, and they also fought hard in the torrent of the Baran River.
"Children, remember, they are not fighting for the nation or individuals, they are just fighting for happiness... Children, remember that the Chinese race equals happiness, and the head of state is the person who brings us happiness!"
The head of state, Xiao Letian, is on the sea at the moment. The mist of water and sky hides the Zhiyuan and the stall-grabbing troops rowing on the sea. Two battalion commanders, Liang Kun and Jiang Lie, are leading a reinforced battalion. Rushing towards the beach, the enemy's attention is all on the Balan River at this moment, and there is no defense in the direction of the sea.
"What a bunch of barbarians. If the natural environment wasn't too harsh in this battle, there would be no need for us to dispatch. Bai Layi's guards can handle it on their own..." Xiao Letian put down the telescope and shook his head helplessly. , the big raindrops made a crackling sound on his raincoat.
"No, no, no... if we don't take action, how can we improve the cohesion of our Chinese people?" Wang Huaiyuan suddenly appeared next to Xiao Letian.
"Why did you come out in such a heavy rain? You have always been in poor health. Why don't you go back quickly..." Xiao Letian knew that Wang Huaiyuan was in very poor health due to excessive hard work and mental exhaustion in the past few years. Dare to get caught in the rain and suddenly became furious.
Wang Huaiyuan was wearing a raincoat and there were soldiers holding umbrellas behind him. "It's okay. I can't just stay bored in the cabin all the time. I'll get sick instead... I came here to talk to you about Admiral Liang Kun!"
"To be honest, I don't agree with you naming Liang Kun as the commander-in-chief of this operation... I know what you mean by bringing him here this time. If you don't bring some of his old subordinates with you to Europa to join King Yi, I'm afraid It will chill the prince’s heart!”
"In the past few years, Liang Kun has been doing logistics and defense work. Our new army is fighting outside, and most of them are guarding our Ryukyu Island. Lao Liang has really been wronged for a long time..."
"Taking him out to fight in Europa this time is also a little compensation for him... But don't forget, people who have been holding back for too long suddenly go to the battlefield with very high spirits... I'm afraid that he will commit too many crimes!"
Xiao Letian was silent. He knew that Wang Huaiyuan was right. There were many veterans of the Kingdom of Heaven on Taibai Peak back then, but the only ones who were really famous were Wang Huaiyuan, Sima Yun, Xiao Hexin and a dozen others.
It's not that Xiao Letian is unwilling to give these people high officials and generous salaries, but that there is a problem with these people. There is a big problem, which is bloodthirsty!
This may be due to the influence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They massacred too many cities and killed many prisoners. In their hearts, the defeated were no longer human beings, let alone these indigenous wild monkeys.
When they were fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, the Taiping Army massacred many cities. They even attacked their own nation without mercy, let alone these indigenous monkeys. I am afraid that in Liang Kun's eyes, these creatures are not equivalent to humans at all.
"Hey... I don't know! But I also have to give Liang Kun some military merit. If he doesn't get to Europe, he won't have to blame me to death? I don't know how he can complain in front of Brother Shi!"
"Forget it, if they kill harder, the natives can be taught a lesson. There are no undead people in a war... Look, Liang Kun and the others are approaching the beach!"
At this moment, the battle of the Balan River has reached the most critical moment. The army led by Fang Dong and Wu Haoran has approached fifty meters from the river bank. Now the indigenous coalition forces have gone crazy.
"Shoot, muskets come forward...Shoot! Shoot..."
Bang bang bang... The needle rifle, which is not afraid of rain, began to fire at the river. The bullets shot towards the Chinese young men in the river. The bullets rained down on the river and the river was covered with blood.
"Charge... never retreat! This is the last step left, brothers, rush forward, grab the stall and land!"
The fearless Chinese guards swarmed forward, stepping on the corpses of their comrades and climbing towards the river bank. The indigenous soldiers also panicked and rushed forward to shoot with bows and arrows and blow syringes, screaming while fighting back.
"We've landed..." The first person to grab a stall and land ashore was a big man with a yellow face. Just as he was cheering excitedly, suddenly an arrow pierced his chest with a whoosh, and blood flowed along with the rain. Come down.
The big man gritted his teeth and held the arrow shaft, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. "It's... damn... just... just one step away... damn..." As he spoke, he suddenly broke the arrow shaft with force.
"I'll stand here...use my...body to block the bullets...fire! fire..."
The mountain-like man was half-kneeling on the ground, with blood flowing from his wounds. His broad chest blocked the rain of bullets in front of him. "Fire on my back... counter-suppression!"
Fangdong was already in tears, "Dahou...brother!" This was not the time to cry. Fangdong jumped onto the river bank and hurried forward, half-kneeling and firing, with the Mauser gun resting on his brother's shoulders.
Bang bang bang... Mauser sprayed fire, and the good marksmanship he had learned from the bullets at the Ryukyu Military Academy suddenly suppressed the enemy. With just one gun, every bullet did not miss, and the few natives who sneak attacked Dahou were all The Tianling Cap was broken open.
"Charge! Charge forward... Our unit has established a beachhead... Let the army behind move! Blow the charge horn..."
The sound of bugles pierced the rain curtain, and more Chinese soldiers on the other side roared and jumped into the Balan River and swam to the other side.
"Charge, crush these Chinese dogs into the river... Your Majesty will reward every warrior with gold and beautiful women... Kill the Chinese dogs' attack, they are here to steal our land..."
When the commanders saw that their muskets could no longer suppress the increasing number of Chinese soldiers, they could only bite the bullet and fight hand-to-hand.
"Don't be afraid! These Chinese dogs can only use muskets. They are no match for us when playing with knives. Attack!"
