() As more and more people return home, people in Fujian, Guangdong and other places know that the third son of Liu Mingchuan, the original governor of Taiwan, became the president of Taiwan and founded the country. There is no emperor in the new country.
There is no imperial court, but the name is changed to the president and zheng fu.
According to these people who have returned home to visit relatives, on the island of Taiwan, President Liu has run schools, factories, cooperatives, built reservoirs, built railways and roads, and built ports. The president has lent money to farmers to buy land, seeds, and farm tools.
When businessmen open shops, the president also lends money to people to buy shops and goods. When wealthy people want to open factories, the president will lend them money to buy machinery and raw materials. Anyway, just think about it. As long as you can think of a way to make a living, the president will lend you money.
Give you capital and the interest is very low.
At first, the locals in Fujian and Guangdong did not quite believe the words of these compatriots and relatives who came back from Taiwan. In their opinion, the president was either a prodigal or a fool. Wait until he leaves his father behind.
After all the money has been spent, it is estimated that these relatives who are still showing off their power will have no shame in coming back to show off their wealth.
However, some people don't believe it, but some people believe it, especially those who are in a worse situation. Some of these people are homeless or have brothers and sisters at home who can take care of their parents. They are so cruel that they pack a few clothes and take a few
With a piece of dry food, I followed these fellow villagers, relatives and friends who were visiting relatives and ran to Taiwan.
Most of those who ran away began to take some money back to their hometowns a few months later by some maritime merchants who had business dealings with Taiwan, and gave it to their wives, children, and parents who were still back home.
In his hands, and as time goes by, the money is obviously getting more and more. It is obvious that these poor people who went to Taiwan Island are doing well there.
Since ancient times, the people on China's southeastern coast have had a pioneering spirit. Because these coastal areas are mountainous and have little arable land, they cannot feed more and more people. Therefore, with the increasing development of maritime shipping,
, these poor coastal people boarded ships going to various places one after another, going to different countries to expand the living space of themselves and their families, and this kind of inconsistency
The act of last resort, after being spread by many people, gradually formed the bold, fearless, united and daring character of the local people. In later generations, in Chinatowns around the world, active societies and Chinese organizations basically
They are mainly people from Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang. These groups are the material and spiritual heritage left behind by their ancestors who have struggled in the local area for generations.
Seeing that their compatriots and compatriots had become famous on the island of Taiwan, people who had not believed it at first immediately changed their views. They sold their fields and property, and moved to the coastal ports, where their whole families
Boarded a commercial ship bound for Taiwan
The boat started their entrepreneurial journey. Those who were really poor and had no money to buy a boat ticket simply squeezed a few families into a small fishing boat, raised a broken sail full of patches, and looked at the general direction.
He pounced on their hopes without hesitation.
And Taiwan’s government
fu, all the immigrants from mainland China who came to visit relatives and smuggled in have adopted the same attitude, that is, they will charge as much as they come. Concentration camp-like buildings have been established at many ports on the side of Taiwan facing the mainland.
, this is where mainland immigrants first arrived in Taiwan.
In order to prevent the introduction of epidemic diseases, these immigrants will be isolated and inspected in these concentration camps based on households, villages, and townships for 2 months. During these two months, they will learn various systems and laws.
and regulations, and after staying for 2 months, follow the zheng
Assigned by fu, they go to a fixed place to settle down and start their new life.
As more and more immigrants landed on the island of Taiwan, a large number of labor forces were lost in various provinces along the mainland's coast. These governors were also very worried about this problem, but they could not make the matter a big deal. In the end, it was because of the problem in Hainan
These Taiwanese businessmen who were mining on the island came forward and contacted the Taiwanese government and the governors of the Qing Dynasty. They sat together and discussed a compromise plan.
Taiwan sets an inflow number of immigrants every year. It no longer allows mainland refugees to enter Taiwan at will. It also pays Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Zhejiang, the areas hardest hit by labor loss, a sum of money based on the approximate number of immigrants every year.
To compensate the local government for the tax money lost due to the loss of labor force; and the government in these coastal provinces
fu will strengthen the management of various ports and crack down on private ferrying. Only a few ports have been set up to transport immigrants to Taiwan Island. Whether immigrants can go to Taiwan Island and when to go will all depend on these ports.
The owner of the established Taiwanese store has the final say and issues a small round plate made of metal with exquisite patterns and text as proof.
Thinking of this matter, Liu Yongdian no longer looked down upon the person in charge of the iron mine. Instead, he set up a banquet and dismissed everyone, leaving only his master who had been with him for many years to accompany this guest and sit at the dinner table.
We ate, drank and chatted.
As usual, after a few glasses of wine, Liu Yongdian began to complain. He first cried out all his difficulties and dangers, and then, under the influence of alcohol, he patted his chest and promised that as long as he was in office for one day, he would do his best to ensure the iron ore.
It operates normally, but if unfortunately it is revolutionized, it will not be able to fulfill its promise. Finally, let’s talk about some other cases where revolutionary parties confiscated homes and confiscated properties.
After Liu Yongdian finished speaking these clichés, the iron ore manager played by the agent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not go around in circles with him anymore. He directly said that he represented the government and not the iron ore manager, and threw out the Taiwanese government to this person.
Qiongya's temporary governor's conditions, and then quietly waited for Liu Yongdian's reply.
After hearing the identity of the visitor, Liu Yongdian was not too surprised. After all, he had been in contact with these Taiwanese mining businessmen for many years. With his own experience, Liu Yongdian had long known that these businessmen were very powerful. Maybe they would
He was the representative of an important official on the island of Taiwan. This kind of thing had long been a strange thing in the Qing Dynasty. But after hearing the suggestions and conditions he gave him, the temporary governor was also a little dizzy.
In fact, these suggestions and conditions can be said in one sentence, that is, people from Taiwan will provide money and weapons to help Liu Yongdian build and train an army, and give him a fleet for free to help him expand his power and defend Qiongya.
This island allowed him, the temporary governor of Qiongya, to become the legitimate governor of Qiongya.
Of course, these subsidies are not really free, they are conditional, and this condition is that it will not affect Taiwanese businessmen's continued mining in Qiongya. Moreover, there is an additional condition that puzzles Liu Yongdian, that is, Taiwan can
Helping him defend Qiongya can also help him get the position of governor, but Liu Yongdian must at least nominally submit to the leadership of the revolutionary army in Guangdong or Guangxi, and must not think about relying on Taiwan's strength to do anything on his own.
li, let alone use the troops trained and armed by Taiwan to attack anyone. These troops and fleets only help him defend, not attack. Once Liu Yongdian violates this agreement, Taiwan will turn its back and refuse to recognize him. Not only will it not help
He defends and will send troops to attack Qiongya.
Liu Yongdian thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what the representative of Taiwan or the government of Taiwan wanted, so he asked for a few days of grace to allow himself to digest these conditions. The secret representative of Taiwan was very happy.
He agreed and agreed to come back to the Governor's Mansion five days later to hear Liu Yongdian's final reply.
After seeing off the representative, Liu Yongdian and his master brainstormed overnight. They first analyzed the purpose of these conditions from various angles, and then analyzed the possibility of cooperation with Chuan Wan from various angles, and then came to two conclusions.
:
1. It is this kind of cooperation that Taiwan suffers greatly. It can get nothing except some iron ore. Moreover, because this cooperation is carried out in secret, it cannot get the understanding of the revolutionary army, let alone the understanding of the revolutionary army.
Not much fame;
2. Even with Taiwan's strength, let alone holding a small Hainan Island, it is not difficult to send troops to the mainland and occupy several coastal provinces. After all, there have been several
The countries jointly attacked the island of Taiwan, but were defeated by Taiwan and the entire army was wiped out.
After that naval battle, according to several Guangdong sailors who were lucky enough to be picked up from the sea by fishing boats on the coal ship and followed the fleet, those big gunboats from various countries showing off their power in the Qing Dynasty waters were not as powerful as the Taiwanese warships launching from the bottom of the sea.
attack
Next, there were no generals in one round, and they were wiped out in an instant. And if any of these big gunboats were placed outside the port of the Qing Dynasty, the port would have to fly a white flag to surrender. This shows that the Qing Dynasty and Taiwan
