Chapter 54 Announcing the founding of the country(1/2)
Li Huahai and others had a vague impression of ID cards in their minds, and they were not opposed to it. On the contrary, they were looking forward to it, because the group of people who left obviously did not have ID cards. In combination with what Wang Yang said, in the name of all Nanhua, the people who left and
Those who didn't come had obviously been given up by Nanhua.
Wang Yang did not pay attention to those who were about to lose their nationality. He only sent a battalion to blockade and surround the families or forces that did not come, and did not do any radical behavior.
According to Liu Yiming's idea, they will not be exterminated in the future. The upper-level interest groups can leave if they want. Of course, they can't leave if they don't want to. However, the wealth belongs to Semarang and cannot be taken away. The middle and lower levels will also be separated one by one and let the soldiers arrest them.
He asked if he wanted to leave.
………………
On November 1st, the weather was fine in Surabaya.
At five o'clock, the troops maintaining order entered the dock, followed by the police and militia, who entered the designated positions according to prior arrangements.
At this time, many people had gathered on the surrounding mountains and rooftops, waiting for the founding ceremony to begin.
At half past six, more and more people gathered, and the people in charge of various affairs were making final inspections of the ceremony.
The honor guard temporarily adapted from the navy has also been prepared.
The sun has come out and is shining on the earth.
At seven o'clock, Liu Yiming led a large number of reporters, Charles and others into the viewing platform.
The people and militiamen who were inspected were all ready.
There is no way. At this time, Surabaya is not considered a militia. The navy and army combined only have about a thousand people. They have to be responsible for defense, maintenance of order, and the deployment of honor guards. They can't get anyone to be inspected. It's not a military parade anyway, so it's okay.
Use it.
At 7:45, the flag raiser in charge of raising the flag arrived with the quickly made sun, moon and stars flag.
At eight o'clock sharp, the audience played and sang "The Book of Songs, Qin Feng, Wu Yi".
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear. I share the same enemy with you!"
How can I say that I have no clothes? I am in the same boat with you. When the king raised his army, he repaired my spear and halberd. I worked together with you!
How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same clothes with you. When the king raised his troops, he repaired my armor and soldiers. I will go with you!"
At the same time, the flag of the sun, moon and stars slowly rose...
The honor guard of the three armed forces was in front, followed by the people, followed by the militia and police.
Because this was not the purpose this time, and there were no conditions, after a brief review, Liu Yiming did the most important thing today.
Send telegrams to major cities, such as New York, Paris, Berlin, New York, etc., announcing the establishment of the South China Provisional Government and requesting the establishment of relations.
Afterwards, Liu Yiming held a press conference, which was a success.
After all, Liu Yiming paid for it. He bought a lot of European tabloid headlines and bribed three major newspapers. He spent 50,000 pounds. The reporter still had warm activity funds in his pocket. How could he not succeed?
According to reporters, South China was legitimate and had reasons to fight for its own rights, while the Netherlands was a brutal colonizer and an executioner who incited rebellion.
What Liu Yiming needs to do now is just to wait for the incident to ferment.
………………
In Semarang, since Liu Yiming couldn't sing, he didn't know how to use a telegraph to deliver music scores. It was just a simple flag-raising ceremony. In order to increase the atmosphere, Li Huahai and his party added parade ceremonies, such as lion dance, dragon dance, acrobatic performances and other traditional traditions.
Activity.
Semarang is reveling in the sound of laughter, fireworks and firecrackers!
But the fireworks and laughter are not for everyone.
Semarang, Liu Er's house, Liu Er was anxiously wandering around the door.
His son ran over, Liu Er caught him and asked.
"How is it? Can you go out?"
"No, dad, even the dog hole is blocked, and the South China Army is all outside," his son said.
"Trash, what use do you have?" Liu Er pushed his son away and looked outside through the crack of the door.
Outside is a small team of the South China Army. Dozens of people have sealed off the Liu family tightly. No one is allowed to leave the Liu family. It is possible to enter, but once inside, they cannot get out.
"Captain, look how lively it is outside! Why are we just here guarding it?" A young soldier came over and poked the captain in the heart and asked.
"Go, stand guard, watch carefully, not even a mosquito can fly out!" the captain could only say with a straight face.
"Yes~" the little warrior returned weakly.
When the soldier returned to his post, the captain spit fiercely at the door of Liu Er's house.
Liu Er could see it clearly at home. His heart skipped a beat.
"It's over~, damn Nanhua Army, you don't keep your word!" Liu Er said in a daze.
"Dad, this is not the way to go, why don't we go out and ask?" said Liu's second son.
"Yes, ask to see if there is a misunderstanding. Go and ask." Liu Er pushed his son out without any explanation.
"Dad! Stop it! Dad! I am your son!" His son slapped the door desperately.
"What are you doing? You are not allowed to go out today!" When the little soldier saw someone coming out, he walked up with a gun and asked.
"Master, Master, don't get me wrong. I just came out to ask what's going on? Is there any misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding. We have received an order to seal off your place today and do not allow any of you to go out. Go back quickly, or we will stay in prison!" said the little soldier.
"No, no, no, military master, I'll be back soon, I'll be back soon." In the yard, Liu Er, who heard this, also opened the door and let his son in.
"Dad, they received an order to blockade us, what should we do!"
"I'm not deaf, so get lost." Liu Er kicked his son away and anxiously scratched his head and ears at the door.
On the other side, Tang San's home.
"Hu Wan, what do people outside say?"
"Master, it's useless. They won't let us go even if we give them money. They tell us to wait!" Gu Wan said.
"Is it too little?" Tang San asked.
"No, sir, I just mentioned this matter, and the officer from Nanhua almost killed me, and then I was thrown in by a few soldiers!" Hu Wan said.
"Master, what should we do now? Sitting back and waiting for death is not a problem for him!"
"Hmph! If the strong dragon doesn't suppress the local snake, let's summon the servants. Let's go out and talk to him. If he knows how to count, that's it. If he doesn't know how to count, let's rush out. I don't believe he dares to shoot." Tang San was already confused.
Get ready and come up with some bad ideas.
Hu Wan hesitated to speak, but looking at Tang San's appearance, it was useless to persuade him until now, so he went down to gather the servants.
bump!
The door opened, and Tang San walked out surrounded by dozens of servants. The servants appeared one after another from behind, and finally there were more than two hundred servants, staring at the Nanhua Army.
"Which one of you is in charge? Stand up!" Tang San said arrogantly as soon as there were more people.
"First warning, you have been listed on the unwelcome list. Stay in the control area and wait for disposal, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" The squad leader directly ordered to raise the gun, and the squad quickly assembled.
With dozens of guns pointed at him, Tang San's servants were in a panic.
"Excuse me, what crime have we committed and why are we imprisoned?" Tang San was also a little panicked, but pretended to be calm.
"Let me see, oh! Illegal entry, second warning, stay in the control area, waiting for processing!" The team leader took out a note, looked at it and said.
"Go back! Otherwise we will shoot!" the deputy captain said.
"Why, this is my Tang family's property..." Tang San still wanted to struggle.
"Nanhua has regained Semarang, and you have been listed as unwelcome persons. I won't say it a third time, go back!" the squad leader said coldly.
"Huh!" Tang San didn't have the courage to fight to the death and retreated.
"How can this be unreasonable? How can it be unreasonable? My Tang family has been in Semarang for decades, and who is Nanhua? Why don't you welcome me? I won't serve you anymore!" Tang San said angrily.
"Hu Wan, pack your things and we'll run away tonight."
"Master, they have guns and are guarding the entrance and exit. How can we escape?" Hu Wan said.
"Don't worry, as long as we don't kill them, they won't dare to shoot!" Tang San muttered to himself as if to convince himself.
Liu Er and the three forces also made the same decision.
Because they were still under military control, the activities did not last until night. When it got dark, each group went back home. Wang Yang rotated the soldiers and sent out 500 infantrymen to replace the troops who had been standing guard all day.
At night, it is a sunny day today, there are no clouds at night, and the moonlight is very good.
Squeak~
The back door of Tang San's house was opened a crack, and Hu Wan quietly observed the outside.
"Master, there are only eight of us. If we move quickly, we can rush out!"
"Idiot, what should I do if I alert the enemy?"
"That~?"
"Climb the wall and get out while it's dark."
