Liu Chengyu Shi Zaitang recalled the most famous World War II in the last century. There are 6/kloc-0 countries and regions with a population of more than 2 billion and a combat area of 22 million square kilometers. In particular, Japan, as one of the axis countries of fascism, annexed North Korea and Taiwan Province Province of China before the war, and invaded China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Malaya, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Papua New Guinea and other countries in World War II, but did not dare to get their hands on Macau, a tiny place. Why is this? According to Liu Chengyu's Miscellanies of World Clubs, the reason why Japan didn't dare to attack Macau during World War II was mainly because a note from Brazil frightened Japan at that time. As an important figure in the late Qing Dynasty and even the Republic of China, Liu Chengyu personally experienced many historical events. For example, in 1903, he joined the Hui nationality, followed Sun Yat-sen to participate in the revolutionary movement, and hosted Datong Daily in the United States to publicize revolutionary ideas. Liu Chengyu had a wide range of friends all his life, and most of them had contacts with elite figures at that time, so his works were extensive in content and of high historical value. At the same time, Liu Chengyu is also a famous poet. Dong commented: "Wuchang is famous for its poems in the sea, and its popularity is nearly 300 poems written in Hongxian Chronicle. The rest are four volumes of poems of Hongxian Chronicle, written by Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Mr. Zhang Taiyan. Mr. Zhongshan called it promoting democracy. Mr. Taiyan said that Liu Shi was slightly prepared for the current affairs of Yuan's chaotic politics. Liu Chengyu wrote a lot of works in his life, such as Hongxian Chronicle Poems, Shi Zaitang Poems, War History of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Shi Zaitang Miscellanies, etc. Liu Chengyu's Miscellanies of Human Stories, with nearly 200,000 words, is a collection of short stories published by 1940s in Shanghai News Supplement. At that time, it was widely circulated. At present, most popular versions were edited by Qian Shifu and published by Zhonghua Book Company 1960. This book mainly reflects the characters' deeds, political system and social changes in the late Qing Dynasty and even the Republic of China in many aspects, and is an important reference material for studying modern history. In Miscellanies of the World Hall, Liu Chengyu explained in detail the reason why Japan did not dare to invade Macau during World War II: Indians lived in ancient Brazil. 1500 April 22, Portuguese navigator Pedro? Cabral arrives in Brazil. He named the land "Holy Cross" and declared that it belonged to Portugal. Since the plunder of Portuguese colonists began with the felling of Brazilian redwoods, the word "Brasil" became the name of Brazil, which is still used today, and its Chinese transliteration is "Brazil". 65438+In 1930s, Portugal sent an expedition to establish a colonial governor in Pakistan. Brazil is a vast country with a small population and has been suffering from no development. The Portuguese once welcomed immigrants to the Qing Dynasty and hoped that China would immigrate to Brazil to jointly develop this country with the largest area in South America. In order to ensure no sequelae, the Portuguese colonists put forward the following conditions: (1) Anyone who wants to immigrate from China to Brazil must be naturalized in Brazil. (2) China people who wish to immigrate to Brazil must bring their families with them. Reject bachelors. (3) China people who wish to immigrate to Brazil must take agriculture and industry as their occupation and reject the unemployed. People in China always move to another place. These harsh conditions are tantamount to uprooting them and completely cutting off their ties with the motherland. Of course, nobody wants to go. The Qing rulers were also dissatisfied with these cooperation conditions, so they were too lazy to take a reason. Seeing that China was not enthusiastic about this, Brazil had to consult with a small country with a large population. The Japanese were overjoyed and immediately agreed to export a large number of laborers to Brazil. By the beginning of World War II, more than 3 million Japanese had emigrated to Brazil. In World War II, the Japanese invaded China on a large scale, and extended its claws to Southeast Asia, surrounding areas and Pacific islands. Portugal, which colonized Macao, was very nervous and worried that Japan would invade Macao, so it asked its brother country Brazil to send a note to Japan, saying that "if the Japanese invade Macao by force, Brazil will drive all Japanese overseas Chinese back to their own country." The threat really worked, scaring the Japanese into a cold sweat. Yes, if three million people are swept out of the house together and rushed back to their hometown in Japan, it will not only cause chaos, but also cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, the Japanese who were afraid of rats succumbed to the pressure from Brazil and never dared to attack Macao in World War II.
