After a warm toast and praise each other, Qin Zheng and Zhang Peilun both returned to their seats. Although the other three seats were still very lively to persuade each other to drink and drink, no one came to disturb them because everyone knew that the two would definitely discuss some important things.

Sure enough, after Qin Zheng and Zhang Peilun drank another drink, Zhang Peilun said: "Political Commissar Qin, this Gengzi Incident has a much more harm to our Qing Dynasty than the last Gengshen disaster (the Second Opium War). If the people who returned to Daqing and defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance and defeated the foreigners, otherwise the situation would not be as dangerous as this situation. Zhongtang and I heard that the people who regained Tianjin in Shanghai were really happy. It is rare that the people who lived abroad for hundreds of years but have always cared about China. In the future, the history books will surely be remembered."

Qin Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Youqiao has been too proud. Since he is a descendant of China, he naturally cannot allow foreigners to rush around the land of China."

Zhang Peilun smiled and said, "But there is still something unknown to Lord Xiahe Zhongtang. I would like to ask Political Commissar Qin for advice."

Qin Zheng said: "I wonder what's going on?"

Zhang Peilun said: "Since you have been overseas for hundreds of years and have always cared about China and regard yourself as your descendants of China, please forgive me for being shallow in your knowledge. I have never heard of you, but I don't know why you returned to China at this time. I have never had any responsibilities with the Qing Dynasty before. Even if you did not return to your hometown, you did not send envoys to pay tribute, but I don't know why."

Qin Zheng turned his head and Zhang Peilun's question was indeed asked. Although China's borders were only opened after the Opium War, it was not completely closed before that and there was no exchange with the outside world. The Qing court had always set up a trade gate in Guangzhou and engaged in trade with the outside world. In fact, many foreign merchants had always had business with China before the Opium War. During the Qianlong period, foreign merchants went to Beijing to complain about Guangzhou officials. After the Qing court entered the pass, they also inherited the long-standing dynasty supply system. At the heyday, there were more than 30 countries that offered to the Qing court. Therefore, Zhang Peilun raised this question, which was also difficult for time travelers to reconcile.

However, time travelers have already thought about the explanation. After all, time travelers are very clear that no matter who is the people of that era, they are not so easy to fool. If you return to China, will Li Hongzhang really believe it? Therefore, there must be a reasonable explanation.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. Youqiao, it's not to be hiding it. Although we live overseas, we have always had contacts with China. Even after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, we often had merchants coming to China to do business. Not that we had no contacts at all, but at that time we only discussed business under the name of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and had never revealed our identity."

Zhang Peilun said: "But I don't know why?"

Qin Zheng sang for a while, as if he was thinking, and then said, "I don't hide it from Mr. Youqiao. Although we have lived overseas for hundreds of years, the real founding of the country has been less than two hundred years. Moreover, the one who led our founding of the country is still the old subordinate of the master of the country."

Zhang Peilun said "ah", and then he understood that "King of the People" was a respectful title for Zheng Chenggong. Therefore, Zhang Peilun had a general understanding of the history of this group of overseas Chinese. This group of overseas Chinese lived overseas for a long time, but in the past there was no difference from other overseas Chinese. However, after the Qing court recaptured Taiwan, it was estimated that a group of Zheng Chenggong's old subordinates fled overseas and gathered some overseas Chinese to establish their own country overseas.

Zheng Chenggong's life, along with his grandson, was the enemy of the Qing court. At that time, the Qing court's national strength was the most powerful. Even the navy was not weak, otherwise it would be impossible to cross the sea to destroy Taiwan. Therefore, this group of overseas Chinese naturally did not dare to make a statement in order to avoid being attacked by the Qing court. When they sent people to China to do business, they probably did not really do business, but to spy on news from the Qing court. In this way, the motive of this group of overseas Chinese came to the Qing Dynasty was probably not that simple. Are they planning to regain power while the Qing court was weak?

Moreover, overseas Chinese are different from the Eight-Nation Alliance. They are indeed descendants of China. Although the Qing court has been established for more than 250 years, it can be considered deeply rooted. After all, the Hu people entered China. However, the Hu Han has a great reputation and has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is even more difficult to eliminate. When the Qing court first established the country, a mere three-legged Zhu made the Qing court uneasy for a hundred years, which can be seen. Moreover, Zheng Chenggong's name of loyalty and righteousness was indeed deeply rooted in the Qing court. Moreover, this group of overseas Chinese defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance at this time and had a reputation as the highest level. If they took the banner of Zheng Ming at this time, they were slogans of restoring China and expelling the Tartars, they would probably be a response.

Thinking of this, Zhang Peilun's face did not change drastically. If this is true, wouldn't it be dangerous? Now the Eight-Nation Alliance has defeated the Qing court, and even Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu have run away. If overseas Chinese take advantage of this time to attack the Qing court, it would be really taking advantage of the Qing court's illness and killing the Qing court.

At this time, Qin Zheng also saw Zhang Peilun's face change, and naturally knew what Zhang Peilun was thinking. He couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, saying, "Mr. Youqiao, don't worry, we did have the intention of rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in the early years. Now we have no such thoughts now. Even if we still have it, we may be powerless."

Zhang Peilun was quite surprised and said, "How do you say this?"

Qin Zheng said: "Mr. Youqiao, we are wise people, don't talk secretly. At the beginning of the founding of the country, our ancestors did indeed aim to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and tried to expel the Qing Dynasty and restore the Han Dynasty in China. However, after the older generation of founding ancestors passed away, our country's power overseas has gradually stabilized, and the new generation enjoys peace and benefits from doing business with Western countries, and they no longer have the idea of ​​starting a war."

Zhang Peilun said: "So why is your subordinate returning to my hometown of China this time?"

Qin Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "This is still caused by natural disasters, and the reason for this is. Although this matter is confidential, it will be announced sooner or later. I will learn about it before Mr. Youqiao."

After hearing this, Zhang Peilun couldn't help but feel excited. He knew that what Qin Zheng wanted next must be the secret of this group of overseas Chinese, so he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "The original news is very detailed."

Qin Zheng said: "After Taiwan's demise, the old subordinates of the Guo family fled to Nanyang and gathered a group of overseas Chinese, including descendants of the Song Shiyashan, and the former subordinates of the Three Treasures of the Ming Dynasty, counted hundreds of thousands of people. They tried to establish another country of China overseas, and to advance to restore the Han family in China, and to retreat to retain the Chinese lineage overseas. However, the land of the Nanyang Sea is too close to the Qing Dynasty, and Taiwan is still difficult to protect. What's more, the old subordinates of the Guo family may be chased by the Qing Dynasty, so they led the people to find a Western chart left by the Three Treasures of the Eunuch of the Three Treasures of the Eunuch of the West. It turned out that when the Three Treasures of the Eunuch of the West, they found a large island in the West. He was away from China and was thousands of miles away. He saw that there was an old city on the island but no one lived there. For some reason, the three treasure eunuchs had a radius of thousands of miles, thousands of miles of fertile fields, more than ten rivers, pleasant climate and rich resources, and it was still a place to build a foundation. At that time, the Ming Dynasty first developed, and Mongolia was still a big problem. After the three treasure eunuchs returned to China, they reported to Emperor Chengzu that if the land of Zhongtu was invaded south by the Mongolian army, they could take a boat to sea and build a country on this island to protect the Chinese lineage. Emperor Chengzu followed his words and drew pictures, and ordered the three treasure eunuchs to go to the island again, leaving a large amount of property and jewelry, thinking that the foundation for the future establishment of the country."

"This picture has been preserved in the Nanjing Palace of the Ming Dynasty. Later, it was transferred to the income of the Guo family and brought to Taiwan. The Guo family once sent people to check the island, but it was no different from the old ones, and they used this island as a place to retreat. Later, Taiwan was breached by the Qing Dynasty, and some people once insisted on protecting the young master to go to the island to rebuild the country. However, the young master had no ambitions and led the people to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. A group of old subordinates were unwilling to surrender and snatched out this map and fled overseas. So he led the people to take a boat to the west and build it on the island. After nearly two hundred years of establishment, the country has achieved a population of tens of millions and a territory of tens of thousands of miles. It has built dozens of cities, hundreds of thousands of armored warships, and hundreds of warships. The country is peaceful and the people live and work in peace. Although they regard themselves as Chinese, they do not want to return to the land of China. Although they have business with the Qing court and Western countries, they also have hidden names and secretly interacting with each other. They really don’t want to have any more details, so they are not known to the world.”

"Just a few months ago, when the natural disaster came, the volcano erupted on the island, and the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, and the flint magma scattered. It took seven days and seven nights. In the end, the entire island fell into the ocean, and there was no one in a hundred people. We were originally a fleet in the middle school of China. We were ordered to go out to cruise at the right time, and we were spared, but we had no home to return. After the island sink, we only rescued a small number of citizens and gathered with the people left behind on the surrounding islands. But the surrounding islands were only allowed to count the people. There were only more than ten ships, and there was no way to establish a country and gain a foothold. So everyone discussed that only by now, they could only return to their homeland, or have a foothold. So they led the people to return on a boat. At this time, the Qing Dynasty was invaded by the Gengzi change, and the Eight-Nation Alliance was invaded. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were hunting north. So we sent troops to attack the Eight-Nation Alliance and recovered Tianjin. One was the same vein of China and jointly defended the outer empress; the other was the merit of advancing and advancing, and only saved the place where we could have a foothold in our homeland, and there was no other plan."
