Rebirth of South America as King

"Peng" obese sailor reached out to grab Yu Lan and was reacted by Huang Ping in a boxing. He stumbled backwards and fell to the ground.

"Asshole, tie him up!" The chief mate was very angry, came to the fat sailor and kicked his feet severely, bewildered.

No one pleaded for the fat sailor. After the chief mate kicked a few feet, the two sailors tied him up, while the Huang Ping were taken to the bottom of the cabin to be punished tomorrow morning.

The conflict was successfully resolved, and more than a dozen sailors drunk on the deck were ordered to go back to sleep, and the sea returned to calm.

An armed ship hidden in the darkness on the surface of the cooler ship was observing the Underwood not far away.

"Sir, do you want to lean in quietly and captive this merchant ship?" Advised the bow of the armed ship, a lame man staring at the cooler ship in the telescope.

"No, we have entered the Nanyang. It is only two days away from the British Straits colony. The disappearance of a merchant ship for no reason will cause the British to be vigilant. One thing is better than the other. Let them leave and we move on.

Sun Bin explained, staring at the ship with oil lamps on the sea.

"It's an adult." The lame man nodded without refuting.

Armed ships continued to hide in the dark, and after a period of time, the coolies went farther and farther and finally disappeared out of sight of Sun Bin and others.

After the cool boat went away, the armed ship lights up, and the surrounding sea suddenly became bright.

"Brother Achen, send a signal to the next two ships to let them come forward."

"Ah." The lame man responded, turned to a sailor next to him and asked for a few words, and came to Sun Bin again.

"Sir, how long do we have to reach our destination?"

"Hurry up." Sun Bin took a glass-covered oil lamp and spread out the nautical chart by the light: "Natunna Island is to the east of us and can be reached after dawn."

Chen Chen stepped forward, followed the spot pointed by Sun Bin's finger, found a small point, and smiled: "Just bumped at sea for a few months, and it is almost over."

The voyage from Rio Grande do Sul to Nanyang was tens of thousands of miles. The voyage at sea for more than three months was dull, and no wonder Ah Chen smiled when he heard his upcoming destination.

"Ports in southern Africa and the Indian Ocean are all foreigners. If there weren't dozens of Germans on board, those ghosts might have to ask for more benefits."

A three-engined steam engine ship with a displacement of 1,000 tons and two 600-ton ships sailed out of South America and disguised themselves as Brazilian merchant ships. More than 20 German foreign sailors from the ship acted as the team leader and went up and down along the way. After a few minutes, supplies were obtained from several ports such as Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.

"The Brazilian was defeated by the world, and out of South America, we have to act in Brazilian leather, which really makes me uncomfortable."

"Brother Ah Chen need not worry, the Principality of Rio Grande do Sul belongs to the Brazilian empire, and it is nothing wrong for us to play the Brazilian banner." Sun Bin quipped with a smile.

"This is the reason, but I can't swallow the breath when I look at the toes of those foreign devils."

"The competition is natural, and the fittest survive. The status of the foreigners is their 300 years of overseas adventure and hard work. If we want to gain the respect of the foreigners, we must have sufficient strength. Otherwise, we will just protest softly and welcome Only foreign giant artillery ships will come. "

Rio Grande do Sul is tens of thousands of miles away from the mainland, and is lonely overseas. The disadvantaged situation of foreigners on all sides not only alarms Li Mingyuan, but other Chinese workers who follow him also have a sense of crisis. They are always worried that the Brazilians will come back and recapture them soil of. In this sense of crisis, the National Defense Forces, from senior officers to ordinary soldiers, understand that if they want to protect the hard-earned land and daughter-in-law, they must sharpen their muskets and always be ready to fight.

The Chinese in Rio Grande do Sul are from the bottom of the group, and a few scholars like Sun Bin were oppressed by the Manchu government to participate in rebellion. Naturally, they would not support the Manchu government and accept enslaved gentry to be honest slaves. Set of sayings.

Sun Bin stared firmly, looking at Ah Chen who lost a leg, and said earnestly: "South Rio Grande is too far away from the foreign powers. If we want to catch up with them, we must learn their military technology and technology with an open mind, and Chinese from South America. Compared with a strong rise, a moment of bowing down is nothing. "

"What adults have learned is that Ah Chen understands."

A Chen nodded, no longer complaining.

"Oh, brother Achen is an old brother of the kingdom of heaven. Have you seen the powerful foreign ships under the sky?" Sun Bin said a few words to Ah Chen after seeing that the two ships had not arrived yet.

"During the defense of Tianjing, a foreigner's warship sailed into the Yangtze River. A shell could hit ten miles away. The shell fell on the city's head and killed dozens of people at once," recalled Chen.

"Foreign artillery warships are fierce and unusual. The Manchu government searched a lot of money, but they did not ask the foreigners for large warships. Ah Chen, why do n’t you buy a large warship?"

"Manchus are not good at fighting at sea. They are afraid that the warships they bought will fall into the hands of the Hans." Ah Chen thought for a while and replied.

"You are right or wrong. Manqing ’s defense of Hanzi ’s mastery of warships is one reason. Another reason is that the Manchus and the Han Chinese landlord gentry who read the four books and five classics are in power in the mainland. You wo n’t find any sailors who can operate warships. "

Sun Bin is telling the truth. It is seven or eight years after Manqing purchased warships and set up the Beiyang Fleet. Now the mainland region has just calmed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising. The rebellion in the northwest region and the intervention of external forces in the southwest region. The crisis on the land occupied the Manchu government. The main energy, so the purchase of large warships was consciously ignored.

The mainland has not developed a navy for the time being, but South Rio Grande is different. Three seized iron armored ships are assigned to the Navy. Two British iron armored ships are under construction. On the surface, South Rio Grande has one Not a small-scale naval force, but in fact, the core personnel who operate the South Rio Grande naval ship are still Prussian officers and some captured Brazilian sailors. The Chinese sailors followed them to learn that they have not reached the point of piloting the ship alone for nearly a year. s level.

The navy is a noble arm of the armed forces of various countries. Driving iron armored ships and ocean navigation requires knowledge and skills. Distinguishing headings, exploring hydrogeography, and avoiding in storms can not be learned overnight. Therefore, Li Mingyuan not only asked Foreign naval officers came on board to teach the newly established naval officers and sailors. There were also more than 20 foreigners on the three steam engine ships sailing to Nanyang to guide Chinese sailors.

After listening to Sun Bin's words, Ah Chen turned to look at a few busy Germans on the ship and understood: "The navy of foreign devils is great. When will our own navy be like them?"

"Relax, you'll see this day." Sun Bin patted his shoulder with a smile. ...

Two ships sailing behind and Sun Bin met, and several team leaders reported the condition of each ship. Under the cover of night, three ships accelerated to sail. The next morning, the island of Natuna appeared. In the sight of Sun Bin.

"Achen, there are several small fishing boats on the sea. You can bring a boat up there, bring them on board, and ask the situation on the island."

Although Chen Chen stomped one leg, his body was very strong. After getting an order, he crossed the boat into another boat and headed for the boats in front.

The three or five small boats sailing on the sea are all driven by ordinary local Chinese fishermen. When they saw three big ships coming in the distance, they thought they were foreigners, and they fought desperately to row back.

The armed merchant ship that A Chen drove was powered by a steam engine, quickly crossed the fishing boat in the back, and sailed in front of the fastest fishing boat, stopping them.

"Don't be afraid, we are all Han Chinese, don't be alarmed."

A Chen stood at the bow and shouted a few throats. The following fishing boats did not dare to move when they saw that they could not run away.

"Little brother, we are merchants of South American running boats. We will not hurt you. Don't be afraid."

Sun Bin calmly looked at the panic-scared young fisherman and explained: "Please come here to ask you a few questions. I will let you leave after asking, so don't be so alarmed."

"Master, please." Sun Bin persuaded warmly, the fear of the young fishermen was reduced by half, and he said respectfully.

"You fishermen on the big island ahead?"

"The villain family is a Guangxi who emigrated to the island ten years ago and has always lived on the island."

"Oh, this is a coincidence. I am also from Guangxi. Everyone is a fellow." Sun Bin chatted a few words about his hometown experience and continued to ask, "How many residents are there on the island, but can outsiders occupy the island?"

"There are about three or four thousand people on the island, most of them are Han people, and only a part of the indigenous people live in the mountains and forests, and they often attack us from the mountains."

After the young fishermen answered, Sun Bin asked several other fishermen. After getting similar answers, the fleet continued to approach Natuna Island.

On the northern coast of Natuna Island, more than four hundred Chinese people gathered together and watched vigilantly at the three large ships moored in the port.

"Will the adult send someone to explain it?" A Chen looked at the old and weak Han people with various weapons on the island and couldn't help saying.

"Well, we're here to help Nanyang compatriots. We can't make them misunderstand. Send two brothers to the boat with the fishermen who just boarded the boat and explain to them our intention."

Two Chinese sailors with muskets accompanied five or six fishermen to disembark and came to the shore. The two explained to the people on the shore that there was a commotion in the crowd. More than thirty young men surrounded the two sailors. The old men, who were headed, were arguing and obviously didn't make up their minds.

"Don't wait any longer, order the troops on board to disembark, and three armed ships warn the sea."

Sun Bin explained that he wanted to include Natuna under the rule of Rio Grande do Sul, which naturally violated the interests of the original ruling class on the island. They did not reach a consensus within themselves. Sun Bin had to show real strength to suppress their submission.

The sound of artillery sounded, more than 300 soldiers descended into the water, and soon landed ashore. Rows of soldiers holding advanced muskets adjusted one by one and approached each other step by step.

"Master Chen, retreat, we are not their opponents, so promise their request!"

"Yes, Dad, they have so many people, we can't beat them."

The approach of the sailors threatened the Chinese on the shore. Most of the gathered people had already retreated and were afraid to confront the people on board.

"Well, they're all gone. In the future, they will let the village do the rest," the lead village chief waved his hand helplessly. Others heard him let go and leave, and were afraid to stop the sailor from going.

Sun Bin's simple and rough threat directly disintegrated the resistance of the Hansen village in the north, successfully landed on Natuna Island, and then in the next few days, used the same technique to conquer the other five or six Hanzi villages on the island. All Han Chinese forces on Natuna Island established the basis for preliminary rule.

In the course of the Tonghe Island forces for a few days, I encountered some small obstacles. In a Han village, there were two or three hundred young people in the village. He was defeated, and the village leader who took the lead in resistance was shot in public, and all his land and property were confiscated.

After the decisive execution of the resistance to the village head, the remaining few Han villages immediately accepted the reality of the new ruler and did not dare to resist.
