Temasek originally had an ancient country called "Lion Country" and "Singapore" in Sanskrit. When the Nanyang Fleet marked it on the chart according to the ancient name of Java that Zheng He knew when he sailed to the West, the name "Singapore" was discontinued. , now everyone only knows Temasek.
Four hundred years ago, the Malacca Sultanate was established here. One hundred and fifty years ago, the Portuguese destroyed this place. In another dimension, it was not until 1818 that it was occupied by the British, and then developed into the "Crown of Britain" Another pearl in the world." In this plane, around 1740, it was already under the control of Yinghua.
The rise of this place in another dimension stems from the British and Dutch competition for control of the Strait of Malacca and the background of the Far East trade transit port. But in this dimension, this place is no longer of such value. Malacca to the northwest is already a British-controlled area, so the Nanyang Fleet sees the vast bay here, the calm waves, and the connection with inland rivers and fresh water, making it an excellent fleet. station, so it was used as a naval base to control the Strait of Malacca.
??Zhong Sanri and the Xu brothers arrived at Temasek in the port. Not only did they sell the black slaves to the middlemen who moved here, but they also learned the ins and outs of the Malacca Rebellion from them.
Xu Shan asked: "Last year there were only sporadic riots. How did it become like this this year?"
The slave trader said angrily: "Those southern monkeys who talk so much about Allah should be cut clean!"
Then he touched his nose and said: "Of course, our hands and feet here are not very clean"
¡°What he calls ¡°our side¡± does not refer to the country, but to the Chinese.
The Chinese south of Siam are different from other places in Nanyang. The Chinese in Luzon, Funan, Bani and other places are either directly under the British control or under the trusteeship of the colonial company. They are considered "direct descendants" of the Chinese. The Chinese in places such as the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Java have been living together with local natives and colonists from Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries for a long time. Their interests are intertwined, and their attitude toward the British Empire is somewhat vague.
Considering that the indigenous population is large and has different beliefs. Yinghua did not directly use force to establish a country or colonial company, but relied on the conclusion of relevant treaties with various sultanates, chiefs and European colonists to ensure the status of the Chinese and obtain trade benefits. The Chinese in these places could only be regarded as overseas Chinese.
But there are two exceptions in this area. One is Malacca. In order to ensure control of the Malacca Strait, Yinghua adopted the method of the Portuguese and Dutch. Coerced the Sultanate of Johor and Temenggong, who actually ruled here, to transfer the right to rule the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula [1], with Malacca Free City as the center, absorbing the Chinese in the Malay Peninsula. The other is Aceh, which experienced riots more than thirty years ago. Jia Hao, who was the governor of Nanyang at the time, led his troops to massacre the city, destroyed the country of Aceh, and placed the place under the jurisdiction of the Western Company.
Today¡¯s chaos in Malacca seems to be a repeat of the chaos in Aceh, but the situation is different. The rebellion in Aceh only stemmed from the religious conflict between local Muslims and the Chinese Temple, but today's rebellion in Malacca has a more complicated background.
¡°One pair is Siamese General Zheng Yong and Zheng Xin and his son, and the other pair is Songkhla King Wuyang Wu Wenhui and his son.¡±
The two father and son pairs mentioned by the slave traders were both Chinese, and they were involved in the Malacca Rebellion. It originated from these two people. Zheng Yong and Wu Yang both went overseas after the founding of Yinghua, but they followed the overseas relations of the old world and did not go to colonies such as Luzon or Bo Ni.
Zheng Yong was from Chenghai, Guangdong. He went to Siam, was appreciated by the Siamese Minister of Finance, and became a small official. At that time, it was the golden age when British and Chinese businessmen rushed to Siam to develop shipbuilding and rice industries, and Zheng Yong took the opportunity to connect. Soon it became one of the great merchant dynasties of Yinghua shipbuilding industry in Siam. It happened that Yinghua led Siam to fight against Cambodia, Luzon, Myanmar, and Vientiane, and they fought for many years. Zheng Yong participated in the dispatching of the fleet, transported troops and food, and repeatedly made great achievements. He also caught the eye of the Siamese Emperor and appointed him as the Minister of the Navy. Granted the position of general.
Zheng Yong did not know how to fight, but his son Zheng Xin was a genius. After graduating from the Yinghua Hong Kong Naval Academy, he imitated the Yinghua Fubo Army and built a ship-mounted infantry to attack all kinds of pirates, big and small, in the Gulf of Siam. He quickly became famous. Several conflicts broke out with the Sultanate of Johor. His troops even showed bravery and fighting power that was close to that of Yinghua. The Emperor of Siam did not hesitate to marry his daughter, hoping to win over him and prevent him from returning to Yinghua.
"Compared to Zheng Yong, Wu Yang is even more of a self-made hero. This man's real name was Wu Rang, but the native people from Nanyang distorted the pronunciation and became Wu Yang. He is from Zhangzhou, Fujian, and came to Pattani with his father around ten years ago. Soon after, the Pattani Chinese moved to the Malacca area en masse, but some people did not want to leave the soil behind and stayed, and Wu Yang was one of them.
Although the local Chinese population is gradually declining, as an adult, Wu Yang is good at dancing and continues to run businesses, traveling between Siam and Johor. Over the past ten or twenty years, several buildings between Siam and the Temenggong area of ??the Sultanate of Johor have The city and hundreds of tribes were actually placed under his rule. And at the same time he also? Yifan.
At Pulin Pier, the red carpet was laid directly on the battleship. The 49-year-old Jia Yifan stepped on the carpet with a riding boot, and then turned around to accept interviews from various local newspapers. He was surrounded by thousands of people from all walks of life in Luzon who bid farewell to him.
He has been serving as the Protector of Luzon for four years. He has completed his important tasks. He looks particularly relaxed. His answers to reporters' questions are much more interesting than before, which arouses laughter from everyone.
"On behalf of the Luzon People's Daily, I have a question. The general is originally from Luzon. When he suppressed the chaos in Luzon, many Luzon people were killed and injured. I wonder if the general feels guilty? What does he do to those who died when we say goodbye now? Word?"
A thin black scholar suddenly asked such a question, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
"Are you from Manila?"
"Traitor!"
"Where's the police? There's a traitor here, why don't we arrest him!"
After a while, the crowd started making noises, and everyone was filled with indignation.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not consider the background and just look at the situation and listen to these words, you should feel that this scholar's question is not taboo, let alone treason. The sounds of fierce fighting all around seemed to come from a mob.
"Don't be impatient! This question is not a taboo. I have been guarding Luzon for four years and have been waiting for this question."
Jia Yifan raised his hand and shouted, and everyone fell silent.
Because of this question, a scene from four years ago came back to his mind. At that time, he had just set foot on Pulin Pier. The once prosperous city was shrouded in thick black smoke, with shrill screams and violent shouts of killing. Through the black smoke, it came faintly.
"kill¡ª¡ª!"
At that time, he had a livid face and issued this order with endless hatred, and then the red tide surged out from his left and right sides, rolling straight into Pu Lin, like the fire of Nirvana, trying to destroy this city trapped in the smoke of sin. Laundered and new.
In the thirty-ninth year of the Holy Dao, there was a riot in Pulin. The rioters were "Luzon people" who clamored for Luzon to become independent and get rid of the control of industrial and commercial tycoons.
The "Luzon people" the scholar refers to are the locals of Luzon who burned, killed and looted four years ago, causing tens of thousands of casualties and countless losses of property. They were mainly Chinese and native people of mixed race. The mastermind behind the scenes was the colonial government. Doctrine of local industry and commerce.
The direct result of this riot was that the colonial company completely withdrew from Luzon and was directly managed by Yinghua as a native province. But at the same time as the province was established, Jia Yifan, the chief general in suppressing chaos, was also sent, and he returned tens of thousands of lives to the "Luzon people".
"I, Jia Yifan, am a man of Great Britain! I am a man of China!"
Withdrawing his thoughts, Jia Yifan looked directly at the scholar, his eyes and words were like strong wind, cold to the bones, causing the bone marrow to heat up.
¡°Before I remember that I am a Luzon native, I always keep this in mind!¡±
