Just as the Ming Dynasty was preparing for the combined fleet of eight European countries, and the warships were launched in the shipyard one by one, time passed little by little.

One month, two months, three months

Rumors are also growing in the Indonesian archipelago.

Rumors are circulating in almost the entire Indonesian archipelago that the Ming Navy cannot be an opponent of the combined fleet of eight European countries.

The reason is that the Ming Navy only has more than 100 warships, while the combined fleet of the eight European countries has 641 warships, which is nearly six times the size of the Ming Navy!

Battleships, there will be a great battle on the sea!

In the vast and endless, five-shaded sea, there is no place to hide, almost all of the competition is absolute hard power, the so-called strategy does not seem to be used at all in naval battles, at most is the on-the-spot command of the admiral, the formation of the battleship, if it is clever, it can slightly improve the strength of the fleet, but it is also extremely limited, no matter what, it is difficult to defeat the enemy fleet whose strength is several times that of their own.

This assumption finally gave those who wanted to break away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty see an opportunity.

The two major fleets of the Ming Dynasty were originally sixty warships each, a total of one hundred and twenty ships, which has not changed for many years, and the rise to two hundred is still last year's thing, plus the imperial court deliberately concealed it, the people on the Indonesian archipelago did not know, and the Ming Dynasty once again started to build warships, intending to upgrade another hundred warships for the two fleets, to a total of three hundred, the people on the Indonesian archipelago did not know.

Therefore, those aboriginal aristocratic forces have always thought that the Ming Dynasty only has one hundred and twenty warships!

If you want to say why these people want to break away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the reason is because of the policy of the Ming Dynasty, after the Ming Dynasty ruled Indonesia, a large number of policies to benefit the people were implemented, and the ordinary people benefited, but there is no doubt that it will hurt the interests of the landlords and scholars.

At that time, the rebels of the landlord clan such as King Fu and King Lu, in less than a month, gathered millions of rebels, more powerful than Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, but it is a pity that Zhu Ci at that time held 120,000 Yinglong Army, and quickly destroyed the rebels, and at the same time destroyed countless landlords, squires and heroes, etc., and killed the entire Ming Dynasty before the reform was successful.

In the area of Indonesia, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Dutch Far East Fleet in two naval battles that year, and the Ming army boarded 6 also Indonesia, exterminated and expelled the Dutch above, making the Indonesian archipelago the first overseas colony to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Dutch were exterminated and expelled, the indigenous aristocracy that had followed the Dutch was not eliminated.

And these so-called indigenous aristocratic forces were actually formed by the early Han merchant immigration, and it was precisely because they had most of the Han blood in their bodies that they finally let them go and gave them a chance to mend their ways.

However, they were originally the masters who owned a lot of land and privileges after all, and when they followed the Dutch, the Dutch gave them a lot of privileges in order to help them rule the Indonesian archipelago, almost the Dutch first, and they second, except for the Dutch, no one dared to rebel against them.

What a majesty!

However, since the Ming army ascended to the 6th, expelled the Dutch, and ruled this land, the policies of the Ming Dynasty made all the privileges they originally enjoyed come to naught, and let them originally own a large amount of land, but very little income could be brought to them, and the land lease price limited by the Ming Dynasty was too low for them to support their habit of swinging lavishly.

How can these people, who were used to enjoying privileges and enjoying thugs, endure it!

The idea of rebelling against the Ming Dynasty and restoring Dutch rule has never been broken!

In fact, not only those aristocratic forces, with the passage of time, some ordinary aborigines in the past also began to be dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, and under the bewitchment of the aristocratic forces who have always been anti-minded, they even began to slowly become dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty.

The reason is that since the Ming Dynasty occupied the Indonesian archipelago, it has been immigrating to the Indonesian archipelago on a large scale all year round, and over the years, the number of Ming people who have immigrated to the Central Plains has already far exceeded the number of aborigines, and even more than twice the number of aborigines.

In this way, as the immigrants from the Central Plains have more contact with the aborigines, there are naturally many contradictions.

At the same time, there are some jealous people at work.

After they came to Indonesia, they were allocated a large amount of barren land, they opened up a large number of wasteland, planted a lot, and after a few years, almost all the immigrants from the Central Plains had certain assets and lived a rich life, at least much richer than those who were lazy by nature, which will undoubtedly cause jealousy.

Under jealousy, and then secretly bewitched by people with intentions, naturally some aborigines who can't see the situation clearly will be bewitched and get on the thief ship.

One thing worth saying is that it is said that it is the aborigines, in fact, after nearly ten years of transformation, the original indigenous language has almost disappeared, and everyone is mainly Chinese, language, writing, festivals, and living habits have almost inherited the traditions of the Han people. Poverty is still poverty.

These ordinary aborigines, they forgot that when the Dutch were there, the Dutch and those aristocratic forces who helped the Dutch united to squeeze them, they enjoyed the rich resources brought to them by the Ming court, railways, cement roads, cheap horses, cattle and mutton, and their lives were not known to be many times stronger than when they were ruled by the Dutch, and they still thought about restoring the rule of the Dutch and continuing to be slaves of the Dutch, which is really a joke!

"My lord, as the barbarian fleets of the eight European countries are getting closer and closer, those who want to rebel go to bewitch the ordinary aborigines, and some people are bewitched by them!" The secret agent of Jinyiwei stationed here reported to the Indonesian governor Zhao Dequan.

"Humph! Da Ming treats them well, and he still wants to rebel all the time, he really damn it! Indonesian Governor Zhao Dequan sneered and said disdainfully.

Zhao Dequan was originally a eunuch beside Zhu Cijiao, and followed Zhu Cijiao from the south of Beijing to ascend the throne, and was one of Zhu Cijiao's closest people, belonging to Zhu Cijiao's absolute henchmen, and his loyalty was no less than that of the six commanders of the Yinglong Army that year.

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty wanted to open up Indonesia, immigrate and assimilate the aborigines above, and planned to send a governor, but the Manchu civil and military dynasties all disliked Indonesia as a wild land and were unwilling to come, only Zhao Dequan stood up and expressed his willingness to come.

Although he is a eunuch, he has this heart, and Zhu Ci will fulfill him.

Zhu Cicheng not only appointed Zhao Dequan as the governor of Zhengerpin Indonesia, but also promised to make him the prince of the country as long as he succeeded in developing and assimilating the Indonesian archipelago.

O Guogong! Which eunuch in history has such an honor!

It's really a great emperor!

Zhao Dequan was enthusiastic at that time, and after coming to the Indonesian archipelago, he devoted all his energy to the resettlement of immigrants and the assimilation of the aborigines.

In the past ten years, Zhao Dequan has finally made considerable achievements.

The honor of the Duke of the Kingdom is getting closer and closer to him, however, at this time, there are still people who want to take advantage of the attack of the barbarian fleets of the eight European countries to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and rebel!

Hateful! He Zhao Dequan will never let go!

He has already received the emperor's decree, let him deal with the rebellion of the aboriginal nobles, try to wipe everyone out, and then count him Zhao Dequan's merits to be completed!

Zhao Dequan's tears fell, and he swore at that time that he must wipe out all those who dared to take advantage of the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the barbarian fleet to rebel, and live up to the emperor's expectations!

"Write it down, write it down, and when the time comes, as long as they dare to jump out, they will all be caught!" Zhao Dequan's expression flashed with a cold light.

"Yes, sir!" The spy who reported was ordered to retreat.
