Cheng Biguang smiled: "We are not on either side, we have always been the Beiyang Fleet!" Then Cheng Biguang talked about the fact that Yuan Shikai colluded with the Russians to persecute the Beiyang Fleet, and unauthorized the civil war, putting 40 million citizens into dire straits one by one.

Most overseas Chinese sighed after hearing this, and were angry at Yuan Shikai's behavior. However, some small groups of people remained silent.

At this time, Dong Cunfang, who had not spoken, said, "Since Lord Cheng has been overseas for the past few months and has not returned to China, how did Lord Cheng know that the culprit of this civil war is Yuan Shikai! Maybe it was Tang Jian's ambition to plot power and usurp the throne!"

Cheng Biguang was stunned, knowing that he had encountered a tough problem today.

Cheng Biguang smiled slightly and counted the humiliating diplomacy of the Qing government for decades. The great powers knocked on the door, the Qing government humiliated and sought peace, and signed dozens of unequal treaties. He also talked about how Tang Jian strengthened the Beiyang Fleet and developed national defense, and finally defeated the Japanese Joint Fleet in one fell swoop, and then how to take back Taiwan and strengthen our country's power!

Cheng Biguang said this with excitement: "I, Cheng Biguang, personally experienced the destruction of the Beiyang Navy and the rise of the Beiyang Fleet. I drove the Long Xiao to follow the commander to defeat Dongxiang Pingbalang. Now these new ships are all obtained by the commander using the results he has worked hard to develop and exchange them with the British and German countries! The commander is loyal and determined to strengthen national defense. Some people say that he would definitely not believe me when he usurped the throne!"

Cheng Biguang continued: "And the commander sent me a few days ago to explain the whole story of the matter. This made me even more sure that Yuan Shikai wanted to dominate the court and frame the commander. Otherwise, the eight southern provinces would not have responded with the commander's call. Justice and freedom are in the hearts of the people, and there is no need for too many remarks!"

Dong Fengguo glared fiercely at Dong Cunfang who wanted to argue again and said, "Mr. Cheng said it well. We should believe in Commander Tang's loyalty and we also support Commander Tang to overthrow the Qing Dynasty!"

Many of the overseas Chinese in Nanyang were the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty who had defended the southeast coast with Zheng Chenggong. Among them, there were many members of the Tiandihui. This was a dream of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, under the banner of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, many people still supported it.

After all, no one wanted to follow the footsteps of Lan Fang. At that time, Lan Fang, as the first republic established by Chinese overseas, sent people to the Qing Dynasty to voluntarily surrender and pay tribute, but Emperor Qianlong refused to receive him.

When the Chinese in the Lanfang Republic were bullied by the Dutch and local natives, and the Chinese had no choice but to seek help from their motherland, the Qing government's answer was: Those who violated the orders and did not listen to the recall and were willing to live for a long time, those who should have been rectified in the Celestial Empire were killed in foreign affairs, and their sins were taken by themselves! It was this abandonment attitude towards overseas Chinese that made most overseas Chinese have no feelings for the Qing government.

At this time, Dong Cunfang sneered: "What Lord Cheng means is that when he returns to China this time, will Lord Cheng lead a fleet to help Tang Jian rush his army north?"

Cheng Biguang smiled and said, "Yes, in China today, only Tang Jian can help the Chinese people embark on the road to prosperity and strength!"

A trace of ferociousness appeared on the corner of Dong Cunfang's mouth, and then raised his hand to shake off a wine glass, which shattered in response.

In an instant, many militiamen with real guns suddenly surged from around the Dong family compound, surrounded everyone, and their black muzzles were pointed at everyone present.

Dong Cunfang walked to a militia, picked up a short gun and pointed it at Cheng Biguang, and said, "Mr. Cheng, I advise you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!"

"Fang'er, what are you doing?" Dong Fengguo's eyes grinned and he said angrily.

"Hehe, Dad, I'm finding a way out for myself. After all, living abroad is not a long-term solution. Don't you often say that you want to return to the roots of fallen leaves? Haha, I'll help our Dong family return to the roots of fallen leaves today. Lord Yuan said that as long as we help him make Cheng Bi return to his future, we can return home openly, haha!" Dong Cunfang laughed to the sky.

"You rebellious son! How could you surrender to Yuan Shikai?" Dong Fengguo cursed in grief.

Dong Cunfang smiled and said, "How about those who know the times are heroes? Lord Cheng should rethink it!"

Cheng Biguang sneered and did not speak.

Dong Cunfang snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Cheng, we are not secretly talking. Now everyone knows that your current fleet is the key to the battle situation between the North and South. As long as Lord Cheng is willing to join Lord Yuan and join forces with the Russian Pacific Fleet to annihilate the Beiyang Fleet in the East China Sea. By then, Lord Yuan's hundreds of thousands of Beiyang New Army can go south and pacify the south. Lord Cheng is a great hero of the Qing Dynasty, and the navy admiral is at his fingertips."

"Oh, this idea is good, haha!" Cheng Biguang turned around and smiled.

Dong Cunfang was overjoyed: "So, Lord Cheng agreed?"

Cheng Biguang said: "I just said that I had a good idea!"

When Dong Cunfang heard this, he was teased by Cheng Biguang in his heart and said angrily: "Cheng Biguang, can I tell you that I have given you enough face. Don't give me the toast or not to eat the punishment?"

"Crash!" There was a sound of pulling the bolt, and all the long and short spears were aimed at Cheng Biguang and several other captains and guards.

Cheng Biguang calmed down calmly and said calmly: "Haha, if you kill us, I'm afraid you won't be able to drive these twenty warships back."

"You!" Dong Cunfang pointed at Cheng Biguang and couldn't speak. This sentence really hit his weakness.

"Fang'er! Stop it!" Dong Fengguo said with a heartache, then broke free from the help of his subordinates and hugged Dong Cunfang's thigh, "Fang'er, you can't do this! I have lost all the face of my Dong family!"

After all, Dong Cunfang is not a cold-blooded animal. After seeing his father crying like this, his face warmed up, gently helped Dong Fengguo up, and said softly: "Father, you have to understand your hard work! The days of drifting overseas are so hard. I don't want to be scolded by those foreigners as Chinese pigs and yellow-skinned monkeys, and I don't want to be bullied by these locals. I want to return to China, I want to return home openly, I want to bring you back with you in glory. Didn't you always say that you want to return to your roots? Look, am I not helping you realize your dream now? As long as Cheng Biguang submits to Lord Yuan, with Lord Yuan's promise, will all our dreams of going home come true? You said..."

"Puchi!"

Dong Cunfang stopped suddenly, Cheng Biguang looked up and saw Dong Cunfang staring at the dagger in his chest with an incredible look. Dong Fengguo released his hand tremblingly from the hilt of the knife.

"Father, you... why?" Dong Cunfang's mouth kept leaking blood foam.

Dong Fengguo said sadly: "Son, I know you have lived a hard life over the years, and I also know that this overseas Chinese lives even harder! Your father is so old, so I still have this little bit of vision. The Qing Dynasty was terminally ill and could not save it, and there was nothing worth our nostalgia. It would be better to let Tang Jian help us Chinese build a strong country. At that time, tens of thousands of overseas Chinese who were drifting away could live with dignity!"
