Chapter 294
: Path of Population Immigration
When Rong Tianci mentioned this topic, Yang Qi was also stunned for a moment.
He recalled the history he had studied, especially modern history and modern history, and then compared modern overseas Chinese with modern overseas Chinese.
Suddenly, I discovered that whether it was the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, overseas Chinese recognized the Central Plains Dynasty very highly, and could even be said to be loyal.
For example, in the two hundred years from the 18th to the 19th century, many countries established by the Chinese in Southeast Asia, especially the Nanyang region, including the Lanfang Republic, the Wu Kingdom, etc., all paid tribute to the then Central Plains dynasty and requested Canonization.
This is not only to obtain legal ruling status by paying tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty, but also shows that these Chinese countries, from ordinary Chinese at the bottom to the Chinese in the ruling class, highly recognize the Central Plains Dynasty and hope to be recognized.
During the Republic of China, countless overseas Chinese returned to the Central Plains to invest in education, industry, charity, etc.
According to incomplete statistics, during the Anti-Japanese War, there were 8 million Chinese overseas. More than 4 million of them participated in fund-raising and left their names, donating 1.3 billion yuan, and remitting 9.5 billion yuan in various types of remittances and subscribing to Anti-Japanese War national bonds.
Before the Pearl Harbor incident broke out and Eagle Country entered World War II, overseas Chinese contributed 43% of the Republic of China’s anti-Japanese military expenditure at that time!
In addition to donating money, donating various materials and purchasing war materials to support the Anti-Japanese War, overseas Chinese also returned to the Central Plains to participate in the Anti-Japanese War and countless people died on the battlefields fighting the Japanese invaders.
At that time, three-quarters of the pilots in the Republic of China Air Force were Chinese pilots who had returned to China.
On the material transportation line of the Burma Highway, 3,900 truck drivers of the Nanyang Chinese Machinery Corps worked day and night to transport materials despite the bombings of the Japanese army. More than 1,800 people stayed on this lifeline of the Anti-Japanese War forever. superior.
Later, the Dragon Kingdom was first established, ending the semi-colonial status of the Central Plains, and even hammered down 17 temples on the Korean Peninsula in one go, shocking the world!
Overseas Chinese people are trying their best to return to the Central Plains and participate in the construction of the new country.
But as time enters the second half of the twentieth century, and after the twenty-first century.
It seems that such similar news is rarely heard.
Looking at Yang Qi’s thoughtful gaze, Rong Tianci said: “Because in the past, Southeast Asia was a colony. Even the relatively independent Kingdom of Siam was only a semi-colony that was attached to many Western countries.”
“Even before World War II, most of the world was a colony of Western countries, so for the overseas Chinese at that time, they had only one motherland, and that was the country in the Central Plains.”
“At that time, whether the Chinese in the Southeast Peninsula, the Chinese in Malay Island, the Chinese in the Luzon Islands, the Indonesian Islands, or the Chinese in other countries and regions on the planet, they were all outsiders, and their motherland was the Central Plains. Country, their roots are in the Central Plains!”
“So in Western countries and their colonies, it is difficult for the Chinese ethnic group to integrate into the upper echelons of local society no matter what!”
“This also leads to their sense of belonging being still dominated by the Central Plains!”
“But it’s different now.”
“After the end of World War II, there was a wave of national independence around the world, and independence movements began in various regions. There were eleven countries in Southeast Asia.”
“Overseas Chinese are divided into categories: Chinese in this country and Chinese in that country.”
“After the subdivision, overseas Chinese no longer stick together. Unlike before, everyone was overseas Chinese. From Siam and Manchester to Luzon and then to Java Island, the Chinese people all recognize it.”
“Coupled with the suppression of Chinese culture by various countries, as I just said, the education policy of the Malay Kingdom that suppresses Chinese schools, the new generation of the Chinese ethnic group no longer has a sense of belonging like the older generation. Same as our seniors.”
“And to integrate into the society of the local country and move into a higher class, you have to leave a lot behind.”
Finally, Rong Tianci sighed and said, “So their motherland is no longer just the Dragon Kingdom.”
After saying that, Rong Tianci also finished smoking the cigarette, put out the cigarette butt, and threw it into a garbage basket on the wall.
Countries have strict laws on marine protection. The apple core just thrown into the sea is a natural food and can be eaten by fish without causing any impact, so it is okay.
However, man-made objects such as cigarette butts must be strictly managed. Every ship has a garbage compactor to deal with these man-made garbage. After it docks, it can be applied to the local port’s garbage disposal department to receive and clean it.
Of course these all require garbage disposal fees.
However, once you are caught discharging garbage in the ocean, you will face high fines and even ban on passage in some countries.
After listening to Rong Tianci’s explanation, Yang Qi had a clearer understanding of the Chinese ethnic groups in Southeast Asia.
The evolution of the times and the special situation after World War II have caused major changes to the overseas Chinese community.
That’s why there were so many overseas Chinese supporting the Central Plains during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, supporting the Anti-Japanese War, and supporting the construction of the Dragon Kingdom.
In modern times, similar news is rarely heard.
Yang Qi just silently smoked the cigarette in his hand, not knowing how to evaluate negative.
“Oh, by the way, didn’t you just say you were planning to organize a fleet?” Rong Tianci added: “When the Li Jiapo Kingdom became independent, it had a population of just over 1.5 million, and only 1.3 million Chinese.”
“But after the Lijiapo Kingdom opened its talent introduction policy, the number of Chinese increased to more than four million in just a few decades, and the proportion has always been controlled at more than 70% of the total population.”
“The Qin State is now ruled by Chinese, but there are less than 3 million Chinese in the population of more than 50 million, so they will definitely open up the introduction of talents (Mo Zhao).”
“For the Chinese people across Southeast Asia, the State of Qin is not a small place like the Lijiapo Kingdom, but a country with more than 600,000 square kilometers of land, and the military strength of the State of Qin is also very strong. It’s an attraction for the Chinese people.”
“You can ask Qin’s government departments later. When our fleet is sailing around Southeast Asia, we can bring some people with us.”
From what he said, Rong Tianci recognized the immigration approach.
As the third country in the world where Chinese are in power, besides the Dragon Kingdom and the Li Jiapo Kingdom.
Of those Chinese who are second-class citizens in other Southeast Asian countries, there must be many who want to immigrate to such countries.
Even if Yang Qi and his fleet only secretly pick up some people while sailing through ports in various Southeast Asian countries, they can make a lot of money just per head.
