Chapter 602: Coconut City Chinese
"Kill these red-haired devils!"
"And these traitors, none of them can be spared!"
"Brothers, go into the Dutch quarters, you have everything you want!"
"Gold, silver, and women, if you want, come with me and rush in!"
The city of Batavia has become a riot, in fact, there is only one reason, the strength of the Dutch is too insufficient, when Vizos led the Dutch army out of the city the next day, the Chinese rebels who were originally lurking in the city began to start a riot.
Or to put it another way, because the strength of the Chinese in the city of Batavia was so strong, even if Huang Chu rebelled out of the city with thousands of people, there were still thousands of Chinese in the city, and they all gathered together spontaneously after learning that the Dutch were about to purge the Chinese.
At this time, the shadow lurking in the city, even if he secretly connected with the leaders of the Chinese clan, decided to launch a direct attack from the city, seize the city of Batavia, and completely cleanse the power of the Dutch!
I have to say that under the influence of the butterfly of Ning Yu, history has also turned a big corner here.
The Chinese who were originally slaughtered, but now they took up the butcher's knife, and other slaves and mercenaries raised by the Dutch in the city, such as Sulawesi, Balinese, Bugis, etc., also rushed with the Chinese into the place where the Dutch residents gathered.
In the past, it was the best residential area in the city, and a large number of Dutch, including a large number of old and young, women and children, although they were unarmed, had been in charge of the city in the past, and accumulated a great deal of discontent.
Now, these grievances have become bullets fired at them, and swords slashed at them.
From the beginning of the riots in the morning, a large number of Chinese rebels, together with mercenaries of other tribes, invaded the Dutch gathering place in the city, and set fire to the Dutch houses, all the Dutch who escaped were directly killed, and the riots began to gradually spread throughout the city.
In this case, the few remaining Dutch soldiers in the city were naturally wiped out, and the remaining Dutch women and children also became unjust souls who died in vain, when the whole city began to be taken over by the Chinese rebels, they were equipped with muskets in the arsenal, and also pushed a few old cannons to the city wall, ready for defense.
Therefore? When Vizos and his soldiers were ready to return to Batavia? Seeing such a scene, they soon realized the changes in the city? Can't help but be angry? Without waiting for Vizos to give the order, he began to spontaneously choose to attack Batavia.
However? The Dutch army was temporarily separated from the battlefield in a hurry, and the artillery simply did not have time to be transported back? They can only take muskets to storm the city? In the face of a fortified city like Batavia, not to mention attacking, these Dutch soldiers did not even have a chance to get close, and were easily repelled by the rebels in the city.
The rest of the story becomes very simple? When the Fu Han army, which had completed the landing, rushed to the city of Batavia? With little effort, he completely defeated Wizos and his Dutch soldiers.
In the midst of the chaos, Vizos was killed by a stray bullet that came from nowhere, and he was completely buried in this land with the ambition in his heart, and most of the other Dutch soldiers chose to surrender.
So far? The banner of Da Chu was finally raised on the walls of Batavia, and a red dragon whirred in the wind? It seems to herald a change in history and the rise of empires.
........
When Batavia was occupied by Ningchu, news of the victory soon began to spread to Nanjing? Although because of the long distance, when the news was delivered to Ning Yu's hands? It's been late May.
"Okay? All right! Finally taught these Western devils a hard lesson! β
Ning Yu laughed out loud? This is the second good news he has received this year, and the first is the news of the defeat of the Russians in the Far East.
I have to say that in Ning Yu's heart, his exploration of Asia is more like a historical mission, as the so-called "visit China and raise the four Yiye", which is the responsibility established in the blood of every Chinese person, plus in this process, he defeated the colonizers from the West, so there is a pride in Eastern civilization.
It's just that when Ning Yu got carried away, the queen Cui Xi on the side was a little puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you called a Western devil?" β
Even Chen Caiwei, who had been silent beside her, had a little curiosity on her face.
Ning Yu suddenly felt a big head, thinking of the difficulty of explaining this problem, so he wisely chose to vaguely go over, "In short, this is a bunch of big villains, they came to our territory to do nonsense, I have long wanted to drive them all outββ"
"That's right, our territory can't be left to outsiders to ......"
Cui Ji nodded, and said seriously: "If this group of people gains power in the future, I'm afraid that they will still reverse black and white and confuse the origin, and then they will become reasonable if they ignore it." The affairs of the world always benefit these people. β
Hearing Cui Ji's words, Ning Yu was suddenly surprised, in this later life, wherever the places have been colonized for too long, there is really a bit of this trend, those Western colonists have even become great benevolent people who rescued the aborigines, and they have also been grateful for being colonized, but those who resisted colonization have been slandered as villains, I have to say that the world is like chess, black and white can be confused!
Immediately, Ning Yu smiled and said: "That's right, we can't let them go nonsense, since they have met me, there will be no such future......
The next day, Ning Yu quickly gathered his ministers, naturally to discuss the affairs of Batavia, the key of which was the disposal of Nanyang and the takeover and development of the Dutch colony.
Yes, Ning Yu was not really a good man, as De Vries said, the reason why he occupied Batavia was for the wealth and rule of the South Seas, and his actions were not much nobler than those of the Dutch.
And this time, after listening to the military's actions in Batavia, the ministers were naturally extremely surprised, they didn't expect the march into Nanyang to become so smooth, but after being surprised, they also began to make problems, that is, the management of Nanyang is really not that simple.
Therefore, at this time in Nanyang, in addition to the Dutch, there were also Spaniards and Javanese, especially the local indigenous Javanese, who occupied almost a huge part of the place, although they did not welcome the Dutch, but they would never like the Chinese.
Speaking of Nanyang at this time, many people in later generations have very little understanding of it, usually in the eyes of many people, the Nanyang of this era is still in a very backward stage, and even in this era of Chinese people, Java also belongs to the miasma rampant barbaric land.
There are also records in the world that there are three kinds of Javanese people, one is the Chinese who live in the house, and they eat Xianhua; The two are those who have lived in other countries for a long time, and they are also elegant and clean; The three are natives, the most filthy, good at snakes, ants, insects, worms, sleeping and eating with dogs, swarthy, and barefoot. Believe in ghosts. The murderer is exempted from the crime for three days. When the parents die, they go to the wild, and the dogs eat them; If it is not exhausted, it will be a big relative, and the rest will be burned. Many wives and concubines were burned to the death.
To put it bluntly, in the thinking of the Chinese people at that time, this place was not a place for serious people at all, and they did not have much interest in this place.
But fortunately, after a few years, the ministers have been almost trained by the emperor, and the traditional scholars have long been cleared out of the court, so no one is uninteresting and shouting about the sour words that the labor expedition costs money and food, but everyone is also a little confused, what is the use of asking for a place like this?
"You should all know that even if I am fighting, I never make a loss-making business, and even if there are no short-term interests, I still have long-term interests, so what you think is useless to come to Nanyang is a great treasure in my opinion."
Ning Yu smiled slightly, looked at everyone and said lightly: "Westerners have come to my Chinese territory thousands of miles away, naturally for property, for example, the reason why the Dutch spent such a big price to occupy Nanyang, and built a fortified city in Batavia to protect it, is the wealth of Nanyang." β
"Where is the wealth in Nanyang? I thought that one was trade, two was spices, and three was gold. β
"The so-called trader is because Nanyang has geographical advantages, it is a necessary place for Eurasian trade, and I have already told you the importance of Malacca before, and I will not talk much about it, so this place must be owned by my Dachu."
"The so-called spice is because Nanyang is prolific in spices, and it also has the benefits of sugar planting, and it is by no means a poor place, if I completely control Nanyang, I can also fill in a spice production area and cane sugar production area in the future, whether the goods are in the West, or transferred to the mainland, it is a profitable business."
"The so-called gold is better understood, the South Seas do not produce gold, but as long as we can directly trade to Europe through the South Seas, we can exchange a lot of gold with the help of tea, rhubarb, spices, porcelain, silk and other things."
With Ning Yu's introduction, everyone looked at each other, they really didn't expect that there were so many things worth talking about in the little Nanyang, listening to the emperor's meaning, it seemed that it was really worth making money.
Cui Wancai knew the emperor's plan early on, and immediately assumed the identity of a trust, "Your Majesty, if this place is so important, will my Dachu be the county?" Or is it a feud? β
Everyone is a little contradictory, like such a good place, if it is a bit uneconomical to give it to the feudal monarch, but once the county is really carried out, will it not be managed?
Ning Yu smiled and said softly: "If it were another place, I would like to simply do it with the king, but Batavia itself is a city beaten down by the Chinese, which shows that the local Chinese foundation is extremely strong, so it can be directly run into the county, set up the Nanyang Political Envoy Department and the Nanyang Envoy Division, and set up the Provincial Dali Temple, and the Jiadu Protectorate, which is responsible for the important task of attacking the indigenous people of all parties in Nanyang." β
That's right, Ning Yu was not willing to carry out the capital in Nanyang, and the reason why he was different from Burma was entirely because he looked down on the Javanese - because compared to the Burmese people of this era, the Javanese were relatively easy to deal with, and they were not enough to let the feudal lords of Great Chu expand.
The key point is that Nanyang itself has a large number of Chinese immigrants, so it naturally has the conditions for the implementation of counties, which naturally has great advantages compared with other places, and once the county system is implemented, it can be more conducive to the central court's grasp of Nanyang.
In the final analysis, the expansion of Great Chu in the north is more of an active defensive nature, and it is necessary to prevent the expansion of the Russians in the north by means of geographical advantages as much as possible, so as to ensure the strategic security of the whole country.
But one thing is always clear, in this era, only by expanding to the south can we obtain greater benefits, such as Southeast Asia, such as Australia, which is still a barren land.
Cui Wancai smiled and nodded, and echoed: "Your Majesty's words are very reasonable, and the minister also agrees with this suggestion. However, the minister thought that Batavia's name was nondescript, and that it originally meant Dutch, and that it should have been changed to a different nameβ"
"I thought that the local Chinese were used to calling it Coconut City, so it was better to call it this name to show my intentions."
Ning Yu quickly thought of an idea, he didn't care what the name was, but if he used the way to change his name to let the Nanyang Chinese further belong to Da Chu, then this was a very worthwhile thing to do.
The privy envoy Ning Zhongyi also came out at this time, "Your Majesty, if you are in the Nanyang Xinjia Protectorate, who can be the Grand Governor of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate?" β
In today's Ningchu system, the governors of the Metropolitan Protectorate are not necessarily the existence of the Governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate and the Governor of the People, just like now that there is the Nanyang Political Envoy and the Inspectorate Division, the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate still bears more military responsibilities, but this is also a responsibility that can be taken care of alone, and the situation in Nanyang is complicated, and ordinary people are really incompetent.
Ning Yu obviously still had some research on this issue, he smiled, and said softly: "This person also needs to control the overall situation and take charge of it alone, I thought it would be better to let Yue Lingfeng give it a try." β
Yue Lingfeng was the first general of the Green Battalion to defect to the Han Army, and he was on a par with Xu Mingyuan and Qian Ying, and this person has also experienced the tempering of many wars, and now he is not too much in the position of the governor of Nanyang.
Ning Zhongyi naturally didn't have any opinions, he bowed lightly and stepped aside.
However, when it came to this matter, Ning Yu had some different thoughts in his heart, he naturally had arrangements for Nanyang, not only what kind of resources were above, but also those Javanese people who needed to arrange a shot - after all, with the end of the domestic war, the demand for cheap labor in all aspects was obviously getting bigger and bigger.
After all, at the beginning of industrialization, both in the factories and in the mines, there was a need for a large number of cheap and industrious workers, and prisoners of war were perhaps the best choice. Maybe you should mention it to Yue Lingfeng in the future, at least in the future war with Java, you should capture some prisoners.......
