The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 721: Night, Chaos

"What about you? What do you say?" Chen Zhengwei looked at the wealthy businessmen.

"If there is anything we can do, we will do our best to help. I only ask Mr. Chen to tell me one thing, this British man in Penang..." Ye Guansheng gritted his teeth and bowed.

"I can guarantee that they will not have the chance to cause trouble for you! If they dare to fire at you, I will sink their warships!" said Chen Zhengwei.

"Your mine and business are definitely gone. Maybe things will turn around when the situation stabilizes. But it doesn't matter. There are business opportunities everywhere in San Francisco and Los Angeles. If you want to go, I guarantee you'll have something to eat!"

"Since Mr. Chen has said so, I will definitely not say anything! Mr. Chen's current family business is so powerful that he dares to go against the British for the Malaysian Chinese. What are we?" Ye Guansheng immediately straightened his body and said in a loud voice.

"Even if my Ye family's fortune is thrown away, I can take my family to San Francisco to beg for food, and my Ye family will not be ashamed!"

First it was the gangs, then Ye Guansheng. His words also stirred up the emotions of the other people present.

"Those British guys haven't responded for so many days. They don't treat us Chinese as human beings at all! I will do it with Mr. Chen, but I still have a question. What should we do with the hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Malaysia?" Another wealthy businessman spoke up.

"I will arrange a ship to send them to Ryukyu, and then transfer to San Francisco. Of course, they can also return to the Qing Dynasty if they want!" Chen Zhengwei said directly.

"If one month is not enough, then two months. If two months are not enough, then three months. Anyone who wants to leave can be sent away! I will help you with the British side!"

"I trust Mr. Chen to transport hundreds of thousands of people away!" said the wealthy businessman with a bow.

"We also believe in Mr. Chen!" Others bowed.

Of course, what is in your mind is another matter.

Chen Zhengwei was in a good mood. With these people taking the lead, he estimated that he could take a lot of people away from the Malay Peninsula.

At least it would be no problem to take away 200,000 or 300,000 yuan.

He saved 20 to 30 million!

And they are all wealthy businessmen and young and strong laborers.

As for those who don’t want to leave, that doesn’t matter.

"No one will go out of this door to inform the British, right?" Chen Zhengwei suddenly asked.

"No, of course not!" everyone said immediately.

"Boss Zheng, what do you think?" Chen Zhengwei suddenly looked at Zheng Jinggui.

"Mr. Chen, although I have some connections with the British, I also know that we Chinese have no status in front of the British. I just need to do business here, and I have no choice! If I don't have a good relationship with the British, who will speak for the Chinese? Although I am not very capable, I can only do my best."

"Now that it involves hundreds of thousands of Chinese in the Malay Peninsula, how can I tell the British?"

"If Mr. Chen is worried, I will stay in the hotel. After everything is settled, I will go back to pack up my belongings!" Zheng Jinggui said earnestly.

"Since you said so, I believe it!" Chen Zhengwei smiled.

Lin Changning stood at the window and turned to look at Chen Zhengwei with some confusion.

Not to mention her confusion, even Li Xiwen was a little surprised.

"Leave some people who can help here, and let the rest go out first." Chen Zhengwei ordered, and then left nearly twenty people in the banquet hall.

"Let's all go get some stools and sit down to talk! What are you all standing for? Do you want to appear taller than me?"

At this time, everyone relaxed a little.

"Mr. Chen, you just said that those indigenous people will riot in Penang in the next two days?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Those natives have indeed never behaved themselves!" said Ji Jiaodong of the Hehe Society. "In fact, they have caused trouble several times, but on a small scale!"

"Such a big riot must have someone fanning the flames behind it! Do you think that since there were riots in Perak and Selangor, this side will just be a minor incident and that's it?" Chen Zhengwei curled his lips.

"We also have this guess...Mr. Chen, do you know who the mastermind is?" Ye Guansheng asked.

"Who else could it be except the British? So you expect the British to suppress the riots?" Chen Zhengwei laughed sarcastically.

"What's their purpose? This won't do them any good!"

"You can ask them... But so far, what reaction have the two sultanates had? If it weren't for the British instigating them, would they dare to do what they are doing now? And... do you really think that Britain is unable to suppress it? Even if they are unable to suppress it, they will not have no reaction at all!"

In fact, everyone had some guesses in their minds, but they still held out a glimmer of hope.

"Mr. Chen, what should we do then?" Chen Yayan asked.

"How many people are there in all your gangs?" Chen Zhengwei asked directly.

"If we count the gang members, most of the Chinese in Penang are... But for those of us who can really get things done, we still have about one or two thousand people in total!" Chen Yayan and the others looked at each other.

"One or two thousand people are so few? I can provide you with four thousand guns, and you can find two thousand brave ones!"

"Leave 500 people in Penang, and the rest will go directly to Perak and Selangor to seek revenge and rescue people, and bring back the Chinese from those two sultanates!"

The Chinese in these two sultanates are mainly concentrated in seven or eight cities and mining areas.

"If the natives in Penang riot..." Ji Jiaodong asked worriedly:

"Do you think I'm dead? I fucking love riots!" Chen Zhengwei sneered, "Aren't all the Chinese in Penang your people? Tell them to be prepared!"

"If you want to make a fuss, make it bigger! If the natives can riot, why can't the Chinese?"

"Of course, we have to let the natives make a fuss first!"

Afterwards, Chen Zhengwei discussed with the people from these gangs, and then everyone left.

Jijiaodong from Hehe Society and Lu Duan from Jiande Hall were left behind.

When Zhang Yan first contacted these gangs to buy people, these two gangs agreed very readily.

Moreover, they are the local bosses in Penang and are considered to be two of the larger gangs in Penang.

"You are the local bosses here, I won't say anything else! Go and keep an eye on those who leave here, including their families!"

"I want to see who tipped off the British!"

"Mr. Chen, even if it was discovered...but wouldn't the British already know about it?" Jijiaodong asked.

"I'll send some people to follow you! If anyone really goes to inform the British, or wants to contact the British, just kill them!" Chen Zhengwei said casually. "Also, are there any influential people among those natives?" Chen Zhengwei then asked.

Those natives will definitely riot. If not... then kill some influential people and hang their heads there, and they will definitely riot.

For example, religious leaders!

As we all know, in the 19th century, almost all the indigenous people in Malaysia believed in Islam.

If you kill their regional religious leaders, they will go crazy.

Chen Zhengwei has never liked to put the initiative in the hands of others.

His subjective initiative has always been high.

After the two men told Chen Zhengwei what they knew, Chen Zhengwei asked them to go down and make arrangements. At the same time, he asked his men to arrange some people to change clothes and follow them.

Then he called Li Xiwen:

"Go and inform the people on the boat, send some of them to change their clothes and go with them to Perak and Selangor to help them! And by the way, set fire to the city and burn it down!"

"And those two sultanates...hang their kings!"

Chen Zhengwei was afraid that those gangs would not be ruthless enough. After all, those people were just hanging out in the gangs. At most, they would fight with knives and guns, and they had never seen many deaths.

It’s different with my own subordinates.

When Chen Zhengwei left San Francisco, he brought 2000 soldiers from the security company. Now, with some deployed in various places, there are still about 1600.

The Sultan of Perak is in Kuala Kangsar and the Sultan of Selangor is in Klang, both of which are transportation transit cities on the river banks and must be occupied.

Whether it was transporting ammunition up the river or transporting the Chinese out.

After Li Xiwen left, Lin Changning came to Chen Zhengwei and said, "I'm surprised that you managed to control yourself and didn't kill anyone this time."

"Do you think I'm a natural born killer?"

"Those people have lost their courage due to fear... Now is the time to reassure them. There is no need to scare them anymore."

"That Zheng Jinggui is just a small-time figure. We can just throw him off the boat later."

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, the Governor was still in his office.

"That guy is still in the hotel?"

"Yes, sir."

“What are the other Chinese doing?”

"Other Chinese seem to be making some moves. I suspect they will cause trouble!" the adjutant said in a deep voice.

The original Chinese might not cause trouble, but with Chen Zhengwei around, there is a high probability that there will be trouble.

While they were talking, there was a knock on the door.

"A telegram from London, sir!"

Governor Clark immediately turned around, took the telegram and read its contents.

"According to the plan! Let those natives make trouble! Involve that Chinese Chen!" Clark let out a long sigh.

At this point, he couldn't control anything.

We can only follow the requirements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The adjutant took a look at the telegram and said, "Then I'll go and notify them!"

Then he turned and walked out.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, several natives who worked in the colonial government went out in a carriage in the dark.

At ten o'clock in the evening, some natives heard the whistle and came out of their homes, gathering on the street with axes in their hands, with cruelty, greed and fanaticism on their faces.

Then, shouts came from somewhere.

"Kill them!"

"Get our stuff back!"

……

At the same time, at the dock, wooden boxes were lifted off the ship one by one under the cover of night.

boom!
Two Penang gang members accidentally dropped a box on the ground, and someone nearby immediately yelled, "Be careful! Don't make any noise and attract the British!"

A few people from a security company not far away looked at them and shrugged.

Now the dock has been sealed off by Chen Zhengwei's men.

How dare the police come over!

Soon, the wooden boxes were loaded onto the carriage, and the carriage slowly left the dock.

"Stop, what's on the carriage?" A policeman stopped the road and asked vigilantly with a lantern in his hand.

"Cargo! Are you blind?" Chen Zhengwei's henchman cursed angrily while sitting on the cargo box.

"Shit, it's Chen's from China!" The two policemen cursed in a low voice, then walked over cautiously with oil lamps in hand: "What is the cargo?"

"Look for yourself!" The thug sat on the carriage and patted the box under his butt.

Seeing this, the two policemen relaxed a little.

However, just as they relaxed, someone rushed up from the dark and surrounded the two of them, stabbing them with several daggers.
