Chapter 877: Punishment for the Indonesian Natives

The good news of the Battle of Malacca and the good news of sweeping away the resistance of the Indonesian aboriginal aristocracy were transmitted back to Nanjing City in a short time through the Daming Southern Railway, which started on the north bank of Singapore.

At the cost of losing 42 ships, the two major naval fleets of the Ming Dynasty sank more than 500 warships of the European Combined Fleet, and the waters of the Strait of Malacca were filled with a large number of broken planks left by the destruction of warships, as well as the corpses killed in battle, more than 60,000 soldiers of the European Combined Fleet died in the Strait of Malacca, and the sea water of the entire Malacca Sea seemed to be slightly dark red, and a large number of sharks entered the strait and moved intensively, and only the last 30 or so warships of the European Combined Fleet had to abandon all the heavy cannons on board to speed up. Panicked escaped from the waters of Malacca in the Ming Dynasty and escaped the pursuit of the Ming fleet.

The two sides were defeated by a total of more than 900 warships, which was undoubtedly a super sea battle of unprecedented scale, and the victory of the Ming fleet was undoubtedly brilliant.

However, after the news of the victory in the naval battle was published in the Daming Daily, it did not attract much attention from the people.

Especially the people of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains, it is just like a matter of course, which is not enough to surprise people.

It is no wonder that the people of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty have always regarded themselves as the subjects of the Shangbang Dynasty, calling the European countries barbarians, and they have no idea how powerful the warships of the European Combined Fleet are, perhaps in their eyes, the warships built by the barbarians are just some small boats like fishing boats. Or maybe it's because Daming has been invincible all these years, and there are too many good news, they have long been used to it, numb, and it is a matter of course, so they will not be surprised at all.

However, the rebellion of the Indonesian archipelago caused the anger of the people of the Central Plains, and one by one they were indignant, shouting that they would severely punish those ungrateful and ungrateful aborigines.

Whether it is the people of the Central Plains, or the people of other parts of the annexation, no one does not know how much the Ming reform has brought them the status of the Ming people, how much change it has brought to them, the agricultural tax is extremely low, the history is unprecedented, freedom of speech, social stability, with the deepening of industrial production, the material life is also greatly rich, even if it is the current beggar, it is definitely better than many ordinary people at the beginning, as long as a little diligent, it is impossible to starve.

Not to mention ordinary people, Daming civil and military officials are also angry at the rebellion in Indonesia, and some officials even proposed to terminate the identity of all indigenous Indonesian Daming people, and such voices are getting louder and louder.

A few days later, when such a voice reached Indonesia, the indigenous people were suddenly frightened.

For a while, as long as the aboriginal people who had experienced Dutch rule, they were frightened, and they finally really recalled the tragedy of being enslaved by the Dutch, thinking of the terrible possibilities that would follow once they lost their identity as the people of the Ming Dynasty, and anxiety and fear spread among all the indigenous people of Indonesia.

Although Du Mingwei and others failed to rebel, although they did not follow Du Mingwei and others to rebel, but Du Mingwei's possible rebellion had already been foreshadowed in the circle of the aborigines, even if they did not follow Du Mingwei and others to rebel, they did not report Du Mingwei and others early.

It's all to blame for jealousy, the original immigrants in the Ming Dynasty worked diligently to open up the land, cultivated day and night, and worked hard many times harder than them, so that they could live a much better and happier life than their aborigines. In fact, they can also do it, as long as they are as diligent as the immigrants from the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, their lives will at least not be worse than those of the immigrants from the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, this is not to blame the immigrants of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Ming court, to blame themselves, what qualifications do they have to be jealous.

Thinking of this, many aboriginal people burst into tears and regretted it.

It's a pity that things have happened, and it depends on how the Ming court will decide.

"Your Majesty, I'm wrong! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! Some of the older generation of aborigines spontaneously fell to their knees in panic and bowed in the direction of Nanjing City in the north.

"I knew I was wrong! Long live the emperor, long live."

More and more indigenous people, in a state of panic, thought only of such a way to repent.

On the streets and alleys, on the official road, this scene spread like a plague, and countless aboriginal people knelt down to repent, which is really unheard of in history.

When this scene was recorded and published in the Daming Daily, mainly the people of the Central Plains Daming, after watching it one by one, their eyes were full of irony. Everything has been done, how the Ming court deals with it, they can only bear it!

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place!" An old man in the Central Plains sighed and said.

After all, a small number of people in the Central Plains like this old man sighed and stopped criticizing, maybe they also sympathized with those Indonesian people in their hearts.

Human nature is good, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are always always kind.

The so-called knowing mistakes can be changed!

There were even voices of understanding for the indigenous people of Indonesia in the streets and alleys, and gradually, the voices were not small.

Palace.

Zhu Ciji had been thinking about it for a day, and he knew very well that in fact, only one percent of the aborigines were really involved, and ninety percent were still peaceful. It's just that safety is safe, and after all, they also favor the anti-thieves and report unfavorable suspicions, so they must be punished.

Zhu Ciji was just thinking about how to punish those aborigines, showing the benevolence of the Ming Dynasty and declaring the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.

Although led by Du Mingwei, the indigenous people of Indonesia rebelled and committed a heinous crime. However, that was only for the indigenous people who participated in the rebellion, and for those Indonesian indigenous people who did not participate, Daming did not give up the idea of continuing to assimilate them.

After all, there are more than 3 million indigenous people in Indonesia, and the Ming Dynasty can't exterminate them all, many of them are the descendants of immigrants from the Central Plains in the past dynasties, and there are a small number of Han blood.

In the end, Zhu Ciji finally made a decision.

"All indigenous people in Indonesia will double the tax for five years!" Zhu Ci stumbled.

This punishment is not big, but it also serves the purpose of making the remaining aboriginal people remember and take it as a warning.

"Your Majesty, what should be done with the captured thieves and their families?" Li Yan asked.

Counting the 30,000 or 40,000 rebel soldiers, a total of about 300,000 aborigines were captured.

Those who did not participate in the rebellion can only be punished symbolically, but those who participated, even if they were only family members, could not be let go so easily.

"The leaders of the anti-thieves and their families are unforgiving, and ordinary anti-army soldiers and their families are all sent to the Siberian tundra to open up, and they will never return." Zhu Cihong made a decision.
