C837 Going far (1/2)
With a bang, the seal of the Ryukyu's household register was sealed. From then on, a Chinese citizen of dual nationality called Ma Jun appeared in this world. The former Heaven veterans had disappeared into the dust of history.
Four Eyes had never seen a man cry like this in his entire life. Even when the father who sold sauces saw him walk into Shouli City University, he did not cry like this.
”The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is gone … ”The dream of peace hasn't been shattered yet. If you follow the prime minister in the future, you'll eventually be able to return a peaceful person …”
The colt held the certificate, rolled it into a small roll with four layers of oilcloth, and stuffed it into a delicate bamboo tube. A red rope was tied around his neck.
”From today onwards, laozi will call you Ma Jun. If anyone mentions laozi's little life again, I'll be in a hurry with them …” Ma Jun stood on the beach and roared at the wind, but what he got in return was a kick on the butt from the people behind him.
”F * ck off, I've been pawned, and I haven't even received my registered paper yet …” After saying that, the next person came over and respectfully smiled at the four eyes, ”My surname is Li, I'm from the Changde clan …”
Ma Zijian looked at his old comrades who were waiting like long dragons for their identity. His old brothers, he was so excited by this piece of paper that he couldn't even speak properly. ”From today onwards, the two words' peace 'in our brothers' hearts will no longer be the same …”
”What are you thinking about? Hurry up and fold up the registered paper and put it in your pocket. Why are you in a daze …” Ma Zijian hurriedly helped the four-eyed university student without raising his head.
That was how it was in that era. Even if you were a murderer bandit, you would still feel a sense of awe when you met a scribe. Thousands of years of myths about scholars and knowledge had made the intellectual status of that era terrifyingly high.
Torches lit up the beach and the outline of two sailboats gradually appeared on the surface of the sea. Not far away, the Dutch Colonial Office let out a long sigh, ”This is really too funny, I actually saw one in the Wilderness of Asia …” Efficiency! These people from the Chinese era actually managed to organize such a large gathering of people... ”
”No wonder Amsterdam lost to him when he sent that message, saying that he had to cooperate with Xiao Letian.” This is not a simple enemy. To be able to organize such a large group of people, without a scientific method, it is impossible! ”
After all, the Westerners had received modern education and had a basic understanding of mathematics and logic. He was well aware that launching such a huge immigration job across the Southern Ocean required a highly efficient and well-coordinated team.
Politicians, soldiers, businessmen, even pirates and gangsters in the South Sea had to be coordinated. Sishui's veterans would gather at several points on which beach, and at several points on the beach, they would have a sailing ship to support them. They would go to some other place to gather supplies, and their cash would be used to store up that bank's branch. This series of tasks required a huge team to complete.
For Xiao Letian to be able to create such a storm in the Southern Ocean with a single word, it could be seen how terrifying his control and organization were.
The Qing Dynasty was already old and the emperor's orders couldn't even leave the Forbidden City. In the Eastern Ocean Ryukyu, Xiao Letian's orders could already cause the entire Southern Ocean to boil and his control could actually penetrate to such a degree.
The Dutch governor shook her head and turned her horse back to the General Governor's Mansion. That night, he sent an urgent telegram to the king of the William II in the Netherlands.
”The power of the Ryukyu in Asia is already strong to the point where it is not something the Netherlands can fight against. At present, the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Netherlands wants to give up his unrealistic dreams. If the time has come for war to begin, then our Dutch warships should also be hiding behind the Royal Navy... ”
”If possible, I hope esteemed His Majesty the King will consider my suggestion. The Netherlands and the Ryukyu will sign an agreement that will be neutral forever. I think it is the best way to guarantee our commercial interests in Asia …”
