Reborn as King of South America

Chapter 292 School Reorganization
The white supremacy ideology rooted in European and American society is the root cause of discrimination against Chinese people.

In July 1878, the Qing government proposed to the United States
When the Japanese sent Chinese students to study in the United States to the West Point Military Academy and the Naval Academy, their applications were rejected by the US government. When the Chinese students withdrew and returned to China in 1881, the first batch of Japanese military officers in the United States had already graduated from the Naval Academy.

In May 1879, the U.S. Congress submitted a draft of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which proposed limiting the number of Chinese workers studying in the United States and repatriating students sent by the Qing Dynasty and the Han Dynasty to the United States.

Stimulated by the growing anti-Chinese sentiment in American society and the incidents of Chinese children in the United States cutting off their braids without permission and refusing to return to China,

Wu Jiashan, the supervisor of the Chinese students studying abroad, repeatedly reported to the Qing government that Chen Lanbin had failed to supervise them properly and deliberately allowed the Chinese students studying in the United States to come into contact with overseas rebels. He also proposed to cancel the Chinese students studying in the United States program and repatriate Chen Lanbin and the Chinese students stranded in the United States to be convicted...

Corruption and power-grabbing were common in the Qing officialdom. Han officials such as Li Hongzhang made huge fortunes by promoting Westernization, while Empress Dowager Cixi and the diehard supporters of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia suppressed the power of Han officials politically in an attempt to regain the local administrative power lost during the Taiping Rebellion and return it to the central court.

Manchu and Han bureaucrats, officials and businessmen competed and sabotaged each other. Even far away in the United States, there were complex factional struggles among the officials who managed the affairs of Chinese children studying in the United States.

Wu Jiashan wanted to use the incident of Chinese children leaving the United States without permission to overthrow Chen Lanbin, Yung Wing and other Westernization officials. As a means of counterattack and response, Chen Lanbin contacted the Westernization leaders in China to write a letter to defend himself.
On the other hand, he sent his newly recruited aide, Wong Fei-hung, to the Kingdom of Han, intending to use the tacit understanding reached earlier by the two sides on the issue of Chinese workers in the United States to successfully resolve this problem.

In the evening, the sun set halfway up the mountain and the sky gradually darkened.

"Master, there is an inn on the side of the road. Do you want to rest in the inn tonight?"

In the suburbs of the old city of Chang'an (Cordoba), the young groom respectfully asked.

"The martial law in the city has not been lifted yet. The city gates will be closed after 7pm. It's getting late now. Let's rest in an inn outside the city for one night and then go into the city tomorrow morning."

"Okay, sir. Please wait a moment with Mr. Huang. I will book a few rooms in the inn right away."

Two young men jumped off the carriage and ran nimbly to the inn on the roadside.

The main building of the inn is an old Spanish building with five entrances and four floors and a total of twenty rooms. The innkeeper was a peddler in Borneo seven or eight years ago. Less than three years after he moved to the Han Kingdom in South America, he married a female weaver whose hometown was in Suchang area. Now his family of four has moved to Chang'an City and bought a small old building sold by the government to do the business of welcoming and seeing off guests.

Chang'an was determined to be the new capital, and government agencies and colleges and universities relocated from the new capital and other places continued to arrive.
The inn where Zhang Zhenxun and his group stayed had been doing brisk business in the past month or so. Every evening, most of the inn's rooms were filled with guests.

After spending seven or eight taels of loose change, they exchanged two side rooms with a group of merchants and worked hard for about twenty minutes. Finally, more than ten people including Zhang Zhenxun and Huang Feihong were able to stay there.

As the moon rose higher, Zhang Zhenxun and the butler and guards he brought with him had already lain down to rest, but Huang Feihong, who had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, found it difficult to fall asleep.

Huang Feihong was born in July 1856. His original name was Huang Xixiang, his courtesy name was Dayun, his pseudonym was Feihong, and his childhood name was Feixiong. He was born in Foshan, Guangdong, and his native place was Xiluzhou Village, Xiqiaoling, Nanhai County.

His father, Huang Qiying, was one of the "Ten Tigers of Guangdong" in the late Qing Dynasty and was highly skilled in martial arts. However, Huang Qiying's family was poor and dilapidated, and he could only make a living by performing. Huang Feihong started learning martial arts from his father at the age of three, and his martial arts were superb, but Huang Qiying did not want his son to be like himself, relying on martial arts to make a living and living in poverty. Instead, he hoped that he would pass the imperial examination one day, so he used the savings from performing to support Huang Feihong's studies. However, Huang Feihong had no interest in studying. Instead, he was particularly concerned about the martial arts passed down to him by his father. He even skipped school and secretly watched his father perform on the roadside. Huang Feihong had a high talent for martial arts, and he could often learn many moves after learning them once. When Huang Feihong was seven or eight years old, he officially began to follow his father to travel the world and perform for a living.

In 1872, he moved to Guangzhou. Copper and iron workers raised funds to set up a martial arts school for him at the Seventh Po Water Foot. He began to teach martial arts to copper and iron workers, ending his career of selling martial arts. In 1877, Huang Feihong set up another school near Huilan Bridge in Guangzhou West Gate to accept disciples and teach martial arts and treat patients. As a result, he became famous and was recommended by Qing officials to Chen Lanbin, the supervisor of Chinese students in the United States.

At that time, his father Huang Linying was still alive. Huang Feihong, who was only 1878 or years old, had not lost his enterprising spirit. So, under Huang Linying's persuasion, he set off for the United States in the summer of .

The life experiences and destinies of one late Qing Dynasty figure after another changed due to subtle changes in history.

Huang Feihong and Chen Shangfa and Chen Zongbai, who served in the National Defense Forces, were brothers who had known each other for a long time. Before the Chen brothers went to Vietnam, they studied martial arts under Huang Linying for several years.

Nearly ten years after 1870, the Chen brothers participated in the failed peasant uprising and lost contact with Huang Feihong and his son.

After entering the United States and coming into contact with the outside world that was closed off by the Qing government, Huang Feihong learned from American Chinese workers and the Chinese Commercial Office in the United States that in just eleven or twelve years, the South American continent had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the peasant uprising army that had disappeared from the mainland had re-established a Han-dominated country in South America. Chen Shangfa, Chen Zongbai, Liu Yongfu, and several other people he had come into contact with were recruited by the South American Han Kingdom, and wealthy Southeast Asian Chinese businessmen such as Zhang Zhenxun and Hu Yaji also tended to work for the South American Han Kingdom.

A day in the cave means a thousand years in the world.

Although he had only been outside the Far East for more than a year, Huang Feihong felt that a long time had passed. The beliefs he had formed over the past twenty years of his life, such as being loyal to the imperial court, practicing martial arts to strengthen his body and save his country, and winning glory for his country, gradually disintegrated and collapsed.

So what if one person is against three, one person is against five, one person is against ten, or even one person is against a hundred? Can the insulting label of the sick man of East Asia be removed simply by the strength of one's personal force?
In terms of martial arts, Wang Wu, the Broadsword, and Li the Swallow are all famous martial arts masters. However, in an actual war, even if Wang Wu and Li San were combined, they would probably not be able to defeat a small unit of the National Defense Army's regular class unit.

The historical trend is vast and powerful, and personal bravery is extremely insignificant in the historical trend. During his more than one year living in the United States, Huang Feihong often visited Chinese workers' communities in San Francisco, Los Angeles and other places, using his medical skills to help local Chinese people with medical treatment and relief.

Huang Feihong's act of treating sick Chinese workers won him the respect of local Chinese workers. Even Wang Youtian, the commercial representative of the Han Kingdom in the United States, heard of his reputation and personally visited him to invite him to join the Han Kingdom and serve the Han government.

Huang Feihong's father and relatives were all in mainland China. In addition, Huang Feihong had a conservative character cultivated by his father. Therefore, Huang Feihong declined Wang Youtian's invitation and continued to stay with Chen Lanbin to assist him in handling the health and protection of the young children in the United States. …………

At midnight, in Chang'an City, there were many people who couldn't sleep like Huang Feihong.

There were many things to do after the war. Even though most of the affairs could be handed over to the officials and generals below, there were still many things that required Li Mingyuan to make the final decision personally.

The selection of the new capital, the transfer of administrative agencies, army and naval academies, and the relocation and merger of higher education institutions were all implemented in earnest, and there were too many problems to be solved.

The University of Buenos Aires, the University of Rosario, and the University of Cordoba, three local universities in Argentina with a history of over a hundred years, need to be split and reorganized into five key universities along with Xinjing University, Central Polytechnic University, and Medical University in accordance with government administrative orders.

The Buenos Aires School of Medicine merged with the University of Medicine and Pharmacy and moved to Chang'an, reorganizing into the National Medical University.

The Buenos Aires Water Resources and Agriculture Departments were merged into the New Beijing University and reorganized into the National University of South China.

The University of Córdoba, the University of Rosario and the remaining main parts of the University of Buenos Aires were renamed Chang'an University, Imperial College London and Songjiang University.

The decree to reorganize five colleges and universities was issued two weeks ago. However, except for Xinjing University and Medical University, which complied with the central government's order and began the merger and reorganization work, the three Argentine colleges and universities all obeyed the order in secret and resisted the college reorganization in both open and covert ways.

A thick investigative report was placed on the table in the study, and the contents of the notebook recorded a plan by white teachers from nine colleges and universities to collude and try to sabotage the restructuring of the colleges and universities.

"Six presidents of colleges and universities, eleven deans of colleges and universities, forty-five lecturers of colleges and universities..."

Turning over the pages of the list, I saw many Western names of famous local scholars in the record book.

Li Mingyuan's face gradually turned cold.

"Go, order the internal security forces to execute the order. Arrest all the people on the list. Don't let any of them go!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"…………

The sound of telegraphs began to be heard in the silent city of Chang'an, and then orders were transmitted through the wires to the troops stationed in various parts of Argentina. …………

The crescent moon is like a knife, and tonight's night is destined to be shrouded in a bloody curtain.
