Chapter 18: The true leader of the Nanyang Chinese

Military revolution!

A military revolution led by Easterners!

Macartney looked blank.

The whole body was almost stiff.

Even breathing is difficult.

he knows.

You are witnessing history!

The naval superiority that Europeans had established since the Age of Discovery was gone.

The era of big guns and ships is over.

The future ocean belongs to a small fast schooner combined with a wooden butt and tail-stabilized pointed projectile, and the mysterious high-reliability high-explosive in the hands of Zhu Daohua!

While the two sides were fighting, Macartney quietly leaned against the side of the ship to observe the emplacements of the Ming army's artillery.

He couldn't see anything, but he was sure of it.

The kind of explosive in Zhu Daohua's hand that is more powerful than black powder is definitely much safer than black powder!

Because at this time, in an era where black powder is the main explosive, how to use black powder safely is something that navies around the world must consider.

The blooming bomb has already been available.

But why don't many people carry explosive bombs onto battleships?

Because it's too unsafe.

Expensive battleships are not consumables.

But now.

Now these expensive battleships are not even consumables - in front of the naval tactics displayed by Zhu Daohua, the huge battleships are living targets at sea.

Macartney stared at the shattered battleships ahead with numb scalp.

These were instruments of war that symbolized Dutch rule in Southeast Asia.

In this way, one by one was torn apart by cannonballs.

The Dutch sailors could only stop the battleship from sinking completely.

Escape in a rescue boat.

Seeing this scene, Bulbulon was also extremely shocked.

"The Dutch are finished..."

"Who will be next?"

Bulbulon looked at the tall Prince Ming in front of him.

The greatest doctor and one of the greatest scientists of the 18th century.

Maybe....

He will also be the greatest Eastern emperor in the next century.

A great emperor from the East!

"To return him to the East was perhaps the biggest mistake Europeans made in this century."

Bulbulon thought.

He looked at Macartney, who looked like a wooden sculpture next to him.

But my heart suddenly relaxed.

"Before this, perhaps the British maritime supremacy will be finished first..."

Think of this.

Bulbulon suddenly felt better.

........

Liu Qianxing and his son felt chills all over as they looked at the Dutch warship that was on fire just two to three hundred meters away.

Liu Qianxing, whose scalp was numb, suddenly remembered something.

"Flag!! Quick! Quick! Pull down the Dutch flag!"

The Dutch flag is still flying, isn't it looking for death?

"Why...why is this Dutchman so inexperienced?"

Liu Guangliang murmured.

Right now.

Someone shouted: "Look! The Luo family's ship has hoisted the sun and moon flag!"

"The Ye family also hangs the sun and moon flag!"

"The Chen family is also dead!"

"Jiatai, let's hang it up quickly!"

"King Ming is going to dominate Nanyang!"

"The Dutch are finished!"

"Yeah yeah."

People in the Liu family also started shouting.

These Liu family thugs are not an army.

Basically, he plays the role of a gangster thug.

It is impossible to impose orders or prohibitions.

Now we see that King Ming is powerful.

Before Liu Qianxing could say anything.

These Chinese gangsters were clamoring to defect to King Ming.

After all, these people were originally members of the Tiandihui - although Lanfang and the Tiandihui had a falling out, the relationship between the two parties was still there.

Moreover, since the Zheng family in Taiwan disappeared, the Tiandihui is no longer an organization with a strict structure.

It's basically a mess.

Although it is loose sand.

But the slogan of the Tiandihui to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty has been shouted for so many years.

There is no psychological pressure for everyone to vote for the Ming King now - although before this, these underworlds were counting on the Qing court in the north to come forward to Nanyang to support them.

But now everyone knows that it was their own fault.

How could the Tatar emperor support Han people like them? What's more, they were the Guangdong Han people who were hated by the Qing court.

Liu Qianxing and his son looked at each other.

Now they regret not bringing a few sun and moon flags along with them...

Then Liu Qianxing had no choice but to shout loudly: "Quick, quick, lower the sail and prepare the boat. I'm going to see King Ming right now!"

Soon the Liu family's underworld thugs hurriedly pulled down the sails to show their attitude - removing the sails meant that the sailboat lost power, which was a signal to express surrender and no hostility on the sea.

.........

Also lowering their sails were other ships in Lanfang.

Luo Fangbo looked at the wreckage of the Dutch fleet that had been basically completely destroyed.

His eyes were full of shock.

The Dutch have been suppressing the Chinese in Southeast Asia for more than a hundred years.

When the Zheng family was still there, the Dutch did not dare to bully the Han people in Nanyang - at that time, the Zheng family in Taiwan was a maritime force that could compete with the Dutch in East Asia.

But since the Zheng family was destroyed.

The Qing court also had no interest in establishing a navy to control the sea power in East Asia - the Manchu chiefs of the Qing court were naturally afraid of the sea.

This way.

The Nanyang Chinese lost their leader and were completely scattered. Although in terms of number, the Nanyang Chinese were second only to the local indigenous people and far exceeded the Westerners.

But in terms of status.

The Chinese were completely suppressed by the Westerners in Nanyang.

First-class foreigners, second-class Chinese...

This is the reality of Nanyang.

Even just a dozen years ago.

There was also a massacre of Chinese by the Dutch in Batavia.

Batavia was originally sparsely populated.

After being occupied by the Dutch, in order to develop Jakarta, the Dutch authorities began to recruit Chinese to work in Jakarta and opened up a large number of sugar cane plantations.

But with the increasing number of Chinese people.

The Dutch began to worry that the growing Chinese population would pose a threat to their rule in Batavia.

Coupled with the massive expansion of sugar cane plantations in the Caribbean Gulf, Batavia's sugar lost its competitiveness in the European market.

Unemployment surged.

A large number of Chinese have become urban nomads.

To "clean up" these urban homeless people.

The Dutch authorities ordered all Chinese to be treated as "vagrants."

A massacre was carried out.

The Dutch army searched for overseas Chinese from house to house, killing them regardless of age or sex. In three days, more than 10,000 overseas Chinese residents in the city were massacred. This was the "Hongxi Massacre" that shocked the world.

But what was Qianlong's attitude towards this?

The news reached Beijing.

Qianlong's attitude was that the slain overseas Chinese had "abandoned themselves to become kings" and "did not hesitate to betray their ancestors' tombs and go abroad to make profits". "Those who disobeyed orders in the mainland and refused to be recalled and were willing to stay for a long time are those who should be righteous in the heaven." I have betrayed my ancestors and was willing to live in a foreign land for a long time. I am not a citizen of our Qing Dynasty at all. Even if I return to the Qing Dynasty, I have to "rectify" them.

Therefore, "the imperial court will not ask about this kind of thing." I don't care whether you want to kill or not.

Therefore, Luo Fangbo knew about this incident.

The Qing court was unreliable.

And now.

The Dutch were screwed.

The real leader of the Nanyang Chinese...is this His Highness King Ming?

Luo Fangmei held up the telescope and said loudly from the side: "Brother, King Ming has completely defeated the Dutch. What are you waiting for?"

Luo Fangbo suddenly became excited.

"Quick! Get off the boat, I'm going to see Prince Ming."

anyway.

Now he is qualified to be the leader of the Nanyang Chinese.

This is the Ming Dynasty Prince Zhu Daohua after Prince Yiwen of the Ming Dynasty!

Both in terms of strength and status.

All of them belong to him.
