Needless to say, the remaining things are left. The gang that ran to the train to prepare for a fortune was arrested under the accomplice's testimony of the three remaining people, and the stolen goods were also seized. They were about to be taken to the terminal station Melbourne for in-depth interrogation by the Railway Police Department.

Before this, the last part will be extracted.

That is to warn everyone that those who dare to commit crimes will be severely punished. If they can withstand such serious consequences before doing bad things.

Five thieves were hung under the luggage rack of the dining car. This time they locked their wrists with iron shackles. The tortured person had to stand up on tiptoe and spend the remaining one and two nights of journey. It was really painful to live or die.

Even if I get to the ground, my hands are still useless.

Bian Chunsong didn't think anything was wrong with doing this. The education he received since childhood was to starve to death and not take anyone else's needles and threads. So after he bravely punished the criminals, he returned to the soft sleeper box with peace of mind.

When tea merchant Sheng Shida saw him again, there was a hint of awe in his eyes.

"What, isn't Java dealing with criminals like this?" Bian Chunsong asked.

"Unless a turmoil breaks out, the Dutch will not care about criminal cases. In big cities like Batavia, it is handled by the courts under the Chinese Kapitan. In remote towns, there are indigenous nobles. Generally, it is a big deal and a small deal. Even if you accidentally kill someone, you can use money to atone for your sins."

“Can this stop the crime?”

"Overall, it feels okay. Although the society is not as stable as Australia, there is almost no way to get rid of the road, and it is generally acceptable. Just be careful and be more cautious."

"Be careful, hehe."

Bian Chunsong chuckled unconsciously, took off his straight tweed jacket and mounted it with a coat hanger, then lay comfortably on the soft bed, closed his eyes and rested, and soon fell asleep.

It was already early in the morning when I woke up again. The train slowly stopped on a platform, which was already Xueshan Town.

The night enveloped the earth, and everything was silent around it. Only the kerosene street lights on the train station emitted dim lights, dispelling large areas of night.

Bian Chunsong came to the platform. The cold wind at night made him feel refreshed. The vendor beside the platform was steaming in the pot of cooking tea eggs, bringing a rare warmth to this cold cold.

The vendors are doing well, and many passengers who get off the bus and move their legs and feet buy some food here.

Several stalls include tea eggs, wontons, peanuts, grilled rice, buns, boiled corn, and even stalls selling roast chicken and braised meat. It can be said that the variety is quite rich and can greatly satisfy the appetite of Chinese tourists.

Smelling the scent of the smell, Bian Chunsong felt hungry.

When getting on the bus

Bian Chunsong was carrying braised pork wrapped in oil paper, two soft cakes, 6 tea eggs, and a pack of boiled peanuts. It seemed that this would be a bottle of wine.

The tea merchant who was traveling with him got off at Beilun Station. Beilun Railway Station is more than 20 kilometers away from the city. He needs to transfer to the train or a public carriage outside the station to arrive.

Now, there is only Bian Chunsong, the passenger in the soft sleeper carriage of the two, as if it has become his personal private room. Even if it is released, drink and eat meat, there is no need to worry about the smell affecting others.

Small vendors who can enter the platform to sell all have to pay money. I heard that they have to pay 8 to 15 silver dollars every month, but they still flock to it, which only shows that it is profitable.

The steam locomotive rang the whistle and the train slowly started.

Bian Chunsong sat in the sleeper carriage and enjoyed it leisurely. He carried several books with him, all of which were books about the geographical and cultural conditions of the Indochina Peninsula, which helped him understand the customs and historical heritage here. He looked at it while drinking, and seemed free and comfortable.

Vietnam was once part of the Central Plains dynasty during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and was under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou and Lingnan Road. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, taking advantage of the melee of various vassal states in the Central Plains and had no time to look south. Vietnam broke free from the control of the Southern Han Dynasty and then defeated the Song Dynasty's conquest army.

Since the Song Dynasty's main energy was in the north and tried its best to resist the powerful Liao Kingdom. Therefore, it had no energy to pay attention to the small countries in the southern border. In this way, Vietnam became a vassal state of the Central Plains dynasty.

The customs, architecture, and language customs of the Kingdom of Vietnam are all copied from this set of mainland China. Even the official uniforms are imitated by the old Ming Dynasty, except that the hem of the robe is shorter.

The imperial examination system of the Kingdom of Vietnam is just like the powerful sect leader in the north. It still implements the imperial examinations. Vietnamese scholars are able to proficiently recite a series of cultural classics such as "Zizhi Tongjian", "The Analects of Confucius", and "The Memorial to the Master". It is a basic skill to write beautiful Chinese characters.

After 1840, Western powers launched a series of wars against the Qing Dynasty, such as the Opium War, the Qing-French War, etc. The Qing Dynasty's vassal system in East Asia faced a complete collapse.

Western powers began to interfere in various vassal states of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, France began to interfere in Vietnam, Britain was involved in Nepal and Tibet, Russia was involved in Central Asian countries and Xinjiang, secretly supported Agube against the Qing Dynasty, and Fusang was involved in North Korea, trying to compete with the Qing Dynasty, the traditional suzerain of North Korea.

In the strategic defense of the Qing Dynasty, Vietnam had a very strong position and belonged to its strategic buffer zone in the southwest direction. In order to protect its buffer zone and thus protect the southwestern provinces, the Qing Dynasty began the war of aiding Vietnam and resisting France, and won the first battle of the Qing Dynasty.

Nowadays, in a time of turmoil on the Korean Peninsula, there is also an undercurrent.

Bian Chunsong put down the books in his hand and looked out the window. The sky was already dim outside the window. In the monotonous sound of the train Mercedes-Benz Gada, one quiet and beautiful town after another was left behind.

His thoughts were flying thousands of miles away. The hot and undercurrent Indochina Peninsula was where he was about to show his skills.

The situation in the Kingdom of Vietnam is now deceitful and is likely to break out as the next hot topic.

The Qing Dynasty's northern garrison and the Black Flag Army firmly occupied the Yuechi, Taiyuan and Beijiang lines in Shanxi Province. From the three sides of the surround Hanoi occupied by the French Expeditionary Force, the army was controlled by Gu Zhiwen, the Admiral of North Vietnam. He controlled the 20,000 elite new troops and the Black Flag Army of more than 10,000 people, and more than 10,000 green camp soldiers who had been trained, which was extremely powerful.

In the Greater Hanoi region, the French Expeditionary Force hoarded 13,000 heavy troops and could also receive support from the French Far East Fleet of the coastal defense, and was also of great strength.

The current situation in Vietnam and North Vietnam has basically maintained the pattern at the end of the First Qing-French War. Both sides retreated 20 kilometers to break off contact and acknowledged the other's control range.

It has been nine years since the end of the Qing and French War in 1885. The Ocean Kingdom rose in Australia, the Fusang Kingdom rose in the East, and the Tsarist Russia's massive move south became increasingly obvious. France also tried to consolidate its position as an absolute colonial sovereign state in the Indochina Peninsula.

The entire East Asia region is undercurrent, and there is only a sound of a trumpet to divide the ancient Eastern Kingdoms...
