- w "Both Jia Duhu and Hong Yi have left. I'm really afraid that there will be chaos again in the future."
It was almost dusk, and Jia Yifan's ship had already disappeared from the sea. At this time, it was the last group of warships that set sail and left the port. In the ship repair yard at Pulin Port, a young shipwright looked at the silhouette of the ship in the distance and murmured with a worried look on his face. Jia Yifan did not leave office, but the entire Luzon Protectorate was abolished, the garrison redcoats were also transferred, and Luzon was no longer under military control.
"It's hard to say, the whole of Nanyang is not peaceful"
Zhong Sanri also had lingering fears when he thought about the crowds at the pier when he entered the port, all of whom were fighting against some "Manila people". The Luzon Rebellion happened before he went to Lisbon. He didn't know the background. He heard that it was a conflict between the indigenous people of Luzon, including the Chinese who lived here before the British occupied Luzon, and the new immigrants.
At that time, Pulin was still called Manila, and the Chinese people living in Luzon at that time hugged the Spanish. After the British occupied Luzon, "Manila people" became the name given to the old Chinese by the new immigrants.
This title has a strong connotation of contempt. When Yinghua attacked Manila, most of the local Chinese people joined forces with the Spanish to resist, but the Spaniards never regarded them as their own, and even held them high in order to prevent them from working as internal agents for Yinghua. The butcher's knife killed the Chinese until rivers of blood flowed out.
This period of history has gradually faded away, and the term "Manila native" is rarely mentioned anymore. However, with the rise of new immigrants and the increasing control of colonial companies and the state, many contradictions have been squeezed out of the water. , pulled out the name again.
After the Luzon Rebellion, "Manila people" were added with derogatory connotations such as "treasonous rebels", "ungrateful and unfilial sons", "huapiyixin aliens", etc., used to refer to those old Chinese with rebellious tendencies. immigrants, and by extension all Luzonites except new immigrants. It is these people who emphasize that they are "Luzon people", implying that they are the original owners of this land.
"Are you talking about Malacca? It has nothing to do with this place. During the chaos four years ago, anyone who doesn't understand that we are all members of the same family is not a human being. Why don't you hurry up and nail the boards? Why do you want to worry so much! Chaos? Back then, when the Holy Master raised his troops and defeated the people, chaos came. How much chaos can be tolerated in this world now?"
An old shipwright spoke. The first half was to talk to Zhong Sanri, and the second half was to reprimand the young shipwright.
The old shipwright's tone was rather disrespectful. Zhong Sanri didn't take Zhong Sanri, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and could tell he was a noble person at a glance, seriously, and Zhong Sanri didn't care at all. Not to mention that the distinction between high and low in this era is already very weak. Let¡¯s talk about this old shipwright. He has built a large manor outside Pulin City. He has more than ten families of native tenant farmers. Working in the ship repair yard is nothing more than Just nostalgic for my old job.
When we discussed the price of ship repair before. Zhong Sanri learned about the old man's origins. More than forty years ago, before Yinghua was founded, the old man's family was a registered boatman under the Admiral's Yamen of the Guangdong Navy of the Qing Dynasty and lived on Nan'ao Island.
The newly born Yinghua Navy fought against the Manchu Navy in Sanpeng. After the war, the old man and his family repaired the Yinghua warships, and since then they have "committed service" to Yinghua. To this day, the old man still remembers a series of navy bosses: Xiao Sheng, Hu Hanshan, Bai Yanding, and even met the Holy Dao Emperor who came to Nan'ao to meet Xiao Sheng. Today's Navy Commander-in-Chief Lu Hanshan was still a stupid boy at that time
Relying on the ship repair business of Yinghua Navy, the old man and his family got their first pot of gold. Afterwards, Yinghua and Spain competed for Luzon. The family continued to serve the British and Chinese navies, and after the war the family moved to Luzon. Over the past few decades, he has earned his current family fortune step by step through hard work. He is not a wealthy man, but he is more than well-off.
Although the old man was honest and straightforward, and he was completely different from his father, Zhong Sanri felt particularly kind to him when he faced him. There was something very similar between this old shipwright and his father.
Zhong Sanri was half chatting, and half curiously asked what the article was about the Luzon Rebellion. The old shipwright said with a face full of hatred: "Fighting in the nest! I have always only known fighting in the nest! When fighting, all I can think about is life and death, and I don't even look at who is pushing them behind, or what they are fighting for."
"Lao Chuan's ingenuity is at the bottom, but his life circle is not limited to the bottom. He can see the changes in Luzon before his eyes, and the reasons for the riots back then. He made it clear in a few words.
The conflict between the old immigrants and the new immigrants was only part of the chaos four years ago. The more direct cause was actually the conflict between the colonial company and the local industry and commerce. If it were more serious, there was also the conflict between the central government and the Luzon region.
More than 20 years ago, Prince Li Kezai had intervened in Luzon affairs. At that time, the latter two contradictions had already emerged. The then Governor of Luzon, Zhou Ning, was directly removed by the emperor.
Because he realized that the struggle between the bureaucracy and the colonial company had a great impact on Luzon, the emperor also made adjustments to the political structure of Luzon before the British-Chinese Northern Expedition. On the one hand, it was upgraded to a temporary province, that is, the provincial east hospital was set up to check and balance the local bureaucracy.??I think even if it is under direct control, the problem is still underneath. Besides, Nanzhou and even Dongzhou, which is farther away, are still company trusteeships, and they are not directly on the court's chessboard. How come nothing happened? "
Xu Shan subconsciously expressed Zhong Sanri's thoughts: "That's because there are many people and they are mixed. They are divided into different groups, each with their own interests and ideas. There is no way."
Zhong Sanri sighed: "Then you mean, there is no way to solve this matter?"
As soon as the two people discussed, the boatman and his son stopped talking. After listening to Zhong Sanri's emotion, the old boatman also sighed: "I think that our Luzon and the imperial court are not connected closely enough. Logically speaking, it is better than in the old times." It¡¯s much tighter. The flow of people and goods has never been interrupted. Government decrees and national laws are the same here. There are also temples and imperial examinations, but I always feel that something is missing"
The young shipwright continued: "I think it's the officials of the State Council in Luzon who deserve more scolding! They have been fattened by the Luzon Company, and they only know how to vote against the direct administration of Luzon in the State Council!"
Zhong Sanri was stunned for a moment. These words gave him a vague feeling, as if he had touched the edge of something. This thing was the real background of the Luzon Rebellion.
But after grabbing it again and again, he could never catch it, so he had to give up. After all, he is not an investigator sent by the Political Affairs Hall, so there is no need to waste any time on this matter.
After spending a few days in Pu Lin, hastily repairing the hull, the ** set off again. On February 10, after nearly four months of journey, the ** arrived at the Kowloon Bay Pier in Hong Kong. Zhong Sanri and the Xu family finally set foot on the pier. On to my hometown.
"It's really unlucky that we can't stop at Huangpu Port"
With the reconstruction of Huangpu Port, overseas ships will all dock in Hong Kong. It is still a long way from Hong Kong to Nanjing, which makes Zhong Sanri full of complaints as he can¡¯t wait to fly back.
"Train! The train is open! There are also buses. Let's take the train!"
"Is it cleared? So fast? Is that thing safe?"
¡°Isn¡¯t it okay to take a carriage?
Xu Shan was particularly excited when he saw the latest news on the notice board at the pier. Zhong Sanri and Xu Gui were both curious and apprehensive. When they left, the railway from Hong Kong to Foshan via Dongguan and Guangzhou had just begun to be laid. Unexpectedly, it was completed in less than four years.
In the 28th year of the Holy Dao, Yinghua's first civil railway was built in the city, from Longmen via Fengxian to Wusong, with a total length of 50 kilometers. This opened the curtain of the railway construction era in Yinghua. But the end did not come soon. After all, a series of problems had to be solved, including operation scheduling, locomotive and carriage testing, and the construction of stations and supporting facilities.
It was not until thirty-six years ago that after accumulating rich experience on this railway, the railways from Beijing to Tanggu, Longmen to Zhenjiang, and Wuchang to Nanyang were built. On the Lingnan side, due to the mature construction of waterways and straight roads in the early stage, they never felt that railways were of much benefit. It was not until several railways showed huge benefits that they started to move forward in a hurry.
"It takes one and a half hours to get to Guangzhou city. There are three flights a day. The fare is one to two hundred yuan per person. The goods are priced according to their size"
Seeing such a notice again, the anxiety dissipated instantly. It was faster and cheaper than a carriage, and the newspaper had already said that taking a train was much more comfortable than taking a carriage. The three of them immediately agreed.
¡°It¡¯s just time to see what big changes have happened in Nanjing in the past few years¡±
Zhong Sanri was thinking this way. Nanjing now includes five counties: Hong Kong, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Panyu, and Foshan. It is the heart of the entire Lingnan, with a population of over one million. In the past few decades, cities and towns have changed with each passing day, with many factories and a constant flow of people. It is completely different from the situation in the past thousand years.
The Hong Kong train station is in Dapeng. The three of them were very lucky and bought tickets for the latest train. Like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, they entered the long platform that looked like the walls had been torn down, looking at the thick black railway tracks on the sleepers. On the top, with gravel as the base, it stretched endlessly to the left and right, paving a straight avenue. Even though the three of them were considered to be well-known figures in the Yinghua Kingdom, they all let out a whoop in unison.
When the steam locomotive roared and slowly approached, hundreds of people on the pier stepped back in unison, with shock on their faces. A few experienced passengers stood outside the yellow line drawn on the stone bricks and looked with disdain. He glanced at these country bumpkins.
A tall, dark car with a chimney and huge wheels pulled eight carriages to a stop. There are two passenger cars and six trucks. The carriages are all tied with iron bars. The only difference is that the passenger cars have glass windows and the trucks do not. When loading goods, people are also loading. The railway had just opened, and most of the passengers were businessmen, like Zhong Sanri and others, carrying large quantities of goods. Zhong Sanri and others felt that the fare was cheap, but ordinary people could not afford it.
????????????????????????????????????????: 2 simple and simple stools by the window. This is also the layout of a horse-drawn carriage. Everyone is used to it, but the space is much wider than that of a horse-drawn carriage. Before driving, Zhong Sanri and others started chatting with the passengers on the left and right. This era is still the same as the old world. People are much more friendly when they go out.
"The railway industry should be returned to the imperial court!"
"How can the imperial court compete with the people for profit!?"
what's the topic? Of course, chatting is the big deal. Chinese people also like to talk about politics. Opening your mouth will tell the big picture. I just heard that Prime Minister Song Ji suddenly fell seriously ill and submitted his resignation to the emperor. The political hall and the two chambers were quarreling over the candidate for his replacement, and there was an argument somewhere in the carriage. To be continued.
