Chapter 53: The Differentiation of Semarang

In the end, Wang Yang watched the meeting come to an end. Although the Chinese faction headed by the old man Li Huahai strongly supported it, Wang Yang, who had no political experience, could only suspend the Semarang Conference.

That night, Wang Yang urgently called Surabaya to request instructions. After receiving the telegram, Liu Yiming immediately called back to Wang Yang.

"In order to ensure the unity of the Chinese people, the government establishment ceremony must be carried out normally, and the compatriots cannot be alienated. However, extraordinary means can be used in emergency situations, and when necessary, problems can be solved by thunder. It is clearly stated to all Chinese in Semarang that if they do not recognize this event

Even if it is obstructed, Nanhua will not recognize its identity!"

At the same time, I also sent some words, strategies and other content.

If Liu Yiming is given time, Liu Yiming can slowly solve such problems, but time is urgent, and all Chinese must be consistent in the next actions. It is foreseeable that within three months, the outcome will be decided, with Semarang as the front line

, once it becomes unstable, it will suffer heavy casualties at least, or lose everything at worst. Liu Yiming cannot afford to gamble.

The second point is that Liu Yiming felt disgusted when he saw these people, but he had the nerve to use bananas as an analogy. Bananas are edible, but some unknown objects are not eaten by dogs.

After sending the telegram, Liu Yiming, who was far away in Surabaya, sighed.

"It's still too urgent. We need to send someone to take charge of the overall situation in Semarang!"

If Semarang continues like this, the people will inevitably become unstable. Wang Yang has learned military command in a short period of time. It is already remarkable. In less than two months of training, it is unrealistic to manage the army from horse to horse and govern the people from horse to horse.

For the first time, Liu Yiming thought of his father-in-law. The first was that he was from a prominent Chinese family in Semarang. The second was that he agreed with Surabaya's philosophy. The third was that he was tied to the same boat as Liu Yiming. The best candidate was Zhang Wentao.

"I'm sending him some assistants..." Liu Yiming took the roster again and went back and forth to check the officials sent to Semarang.

In the other half, Wang Yang received a call from Liu Yiming and read it through. He only remembered the words "Thunder means can be used" and he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the previous actions, the biggest reason why they wasted time and carried out raids was that Liu Yiming ordered to minimize Chinese casualties. Previously in Tuban County, he was able to order the purge of the natives based on this principle, but this time he was blocked.

It was Chinese again, which made his claws numb.

"The messenger, inform the Chinese representatives and leaders to come to the city hall immediately for a meeting to discuss the holding of the founding ceremony of Nanhua. If you don't come, you will be responsible for the consequences. Bring the original words!" Wang Yang put down the telegram and said to the messenger.

By this time, it was already dark, and the messengers were rushing to various parts of the city.

"Dad, didn't you just come back? Why are you going to a meeting again?" Li Huahai's son asked.

"Mu Yang, believe it or not, Liu Er is going to be in trouble, the ceremony has come to an end!" Li Huahai said cheerfully.

"Isn't this right? Wasn't Mr. Wang still hesitating just now to let us come back first?" Li Muyang asked doubtfully.

"Haha, everything must be considered in its entirety. Mr. Wang led a large army into Semarang. The Dutch and natives suffered a lot, but the Chinese were not touched at all. They did not even ask for money to reward the army.

, why do you say?" Li Huahai did not say it clearly, wanting his son to figure it out on his own.

"Because Mr. Wang is good at running the army?" Li Muyang thought for a while and said.

"Yes, but it has nothing to do with this."

"Is that? The Nanhua Army has strict military regulations?"

"Since ancient times, strong armies have had strong rules. Forget it, let me tell you directly." Li Huahai sighed.

"Everything you said is correct. Mr. Wang leads the troops in a very responsible manner. I have also heard about the military discipline of the Nanhua Army. It is extremely strict, but this alone is not enough. Since entering the city, in order to clear out the Dutch, you can see what the Nanhua Army has done.

Come on, they are not soft-hearted people."

"But even in the chaos, few Chinese were injured. Everything that happened after the chaos, including today's meeting, can only show that Commander Liu above Mr. Wang is a courageous and prestigious man who is not allowed to go south.

The Chinese army is attacking the Chinese. So Mr. Wang didn’t say anything to Liu Er in this afternoon’s meeting.”

"It's coming back again. There must be results, and it's a good thing, otherwise we wouldn't be asked to go back at this point."

"Surabaya wants to unite all Chinese people and compete with the Dutch. I am old and have only a few years to live. It doesn't matter to me, but you are still young and you have my good grandson. Semarang is too rich, too rich."

." Li Huahai muttered while putting on his clothes.

Li Huahai got dressed and left with Li Muyang.

"Mu Yang, I gave you this name, do you know why?" Li Huahai said to his son while looking at the starry sky in the north on the way.

"The son knows that his name comes from the allusion of Su Wu Muyang. The father wants to tell his son that no matter where he is, he can never lose his integrity or forget his roots." Li Muyang said.

"Okay! Remember, the blood flowing on your body is the blood of us Chinese. The bones are recorded with the great rivers. There is nothing more noble than this. You can't lose your integrity even if you live an ignoble life..."

…………

That night, many Chinese who received the news rushed to the city hall as soon as possible, even at night, to hear the good news.

But some people have different ideas.

"Let's go and see what tricks this guy named Wang and this bullshit Nan Hua are playing. Remember to write them down. When the situation is relaxed, send them to Batavia. Humph! What the heck, these idiots are trying to beat the stone with an egg!" Liu Er

said.

But he also thought that when the Dutch came in and remembered his contribution, the business might be able to go further, so he smiled.

…………

"This man named Wang, what are you bothering about? If you don't want to go, no one can waste my time. If he comes and goes at a moment's notice, who is he? If he doesn't go, I don't care.

What can you do to me?" said the beastly Tang San who was next to Liu Er in the afternoon.

"Isn't this bad? Why don't we go take a look so that we can be prepared if something happens?" said the housekeeper Hu Wan.

"If you don't go, what will happen? If he dares to take action, he will do it this afternoon. Now, he just wants to torture us. If we don't go, we will leave him alone." Tang San said without any scruples.

.

Seeing that Hu Wan could not be persuaded, he stopped, otherwise he would be beaten later.

…………

"I'm sorry, everyone. I called you here so late. It's urgent. A decision will be made today!"

"After the afternoon meeting, Wang reported the situation here to Surabaya. Surabaya attaches great importance to it, respects your choices, and understands your thoughts, so we have given the latest instructions." Wang Yang paused tactically here.

"You are free to choose whether to participate in the founding ceremony of Nanhua, but there are a few points that the Surabaya Supreme Military Command wants me to point out to you."

"First! Regardless of whether everyone here participates or not, we will do it in the name of all Chinese people. However, we will step back and use it in the name of all Chinese people in Nanhua."

"Hmph! What does this mean? I have made it clear that this name cannot be used. We have nothing to do with each other. Are you using your power to oppress others? Aren't you afraid of Semarang's disloyalty?" Liu Er didn't wait for Wang Yang to finish.

He interrupted.

"Be patient and listen to what I have to say." Wang Yang said politely, but clenched his fists.

Wang Yang kept chanting in his heart. "Don't be angry, don't be angry, soon he won't be able to jump around! There is no need to care about the dead!"

"We in Nanhua respect your thoughts, so we use the name of Nanhua. You just need to show that you are not from Nanhua."

Liu Er opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Wang Yang didn't give him a chance.

"Second, the Nanhua Military Command ordered that the ceremony must be carried out normally. Anyone who obstructs Wang can do so easily."

"Third, those who do not participate in this ceremony will theoretically not be able to obtain South Chinese identity."

"Fourth, Surabaya has sent Zhang Wentao to Surabaya as the mayor of Semarang. After the ceremony, Semarang will carry out staff selection and gradually relax military control."

Li Huahai didn't say anything about the first three points. Anyway, he decided to follow Nan Hua. However, the two pieces of information revealed in the fourth point shocked Li Huahai.

"Master Wang!" Li Huahai asked aloud.

"Don't call me sir, my current position is detachment leader, just call me Captain Wang." In fact, Wang Yang's position is the detachment leader of the first detachment and also the commander of Semarang City Defense, but he doesn't want to be called commander.

"Captain Wang, is the Wentao you are talking about the Zhang Wentao from Semarang?" Li Huahai asked.

"Yes! That's right, Mayor Zhang is the head of the Zhang family in Semarang." Wang Yang nodded.

"Then this staff selection is..."

"It is to select officials to govern Semarang."

Li Huahai was very excited and was already thinking about his relationship with Zhang Wentao. Fortunately, although they were not close friends, they still had some contacts.

"I want to know what Captain Wang will do if we don't participate in this ceremony?" Liu Er stood up and asked again.

Wang Yang looked at these people who were determined not to get involved, and felt angry in his heart, but he still said.

"I won't do anything, as long as you are honest."

"Then I'm relieved. I'm sorry, Captain Wang. I'm too timid to get involved in this matter, let alone obstruct the captain. Since there's nothing wrong, I'll go back first." Liu Er said with a smile,

And he looked at the old acquaintances around him proudly.

After saying that, Liu Er turned around and wanted to leave. The guard looked at Wang Yang.

Wang Yang suppressed his blush, clenched his fists, and finally signaled the guards to let him go.

Seeing that Wang Yang made no move, more than a dozen people from seven or eight families or factions left one after another, but Wang Yang never expressed anything.

After they finished walking, Wang Yang took a deep breath and said to the people present.

"I would also like to ask you to count the people who are participating in this ceremony. Tomorrow, all those who are willing to participate, from the elderly who cannot walk to the babies, as long as they are willing to participate, will record their names, ages,

Come down."

Wang Yang looked at the people in the hall.
