The East Indies were later called Indonesia, and the Han people liked to call it Java. The indigenous people of this place can be said to have been colonized from the Ming Dynasty until the end of World War II to regain their sovereignty.

The island is now under the control of the Dutch, who have been driven out of Taiwan since they have left this large colony in the East. In addition, it is also a source of spices, and rubber resources are also very abundant.

This archipelago is very long, separated from Malacca by China to the west, and across the sea from Manraka; It is adjacent to Luzon in the east. Both of these places are now part of the territory of the Hua Dynasty, so Java has become our neighbor.

In the early morning, the island was quiet, and suddenly an exclamation sounded, and after a while, the surrounding residents gathered around, only to see that this small fishing village, which was usually quiet, had become a purgatory on earth.

The corpses lying on their horizons and verticals knew at a glance that they had suffered inhuman torture before their deaths, and several women who were not covered by their bodies were nailed to the wall, and their lower bodies were rotten.

It is a small fishing village of indigenous people, who used to fish until the Dutch arrived, and they were forced to take turns to help the Dutch grow and gather spices.

Quite close to them is a small village of Han Chinese, where people live relatively well. The ancestors of this village fled from the late Song Dynasty and have been settling here ever since, starting as small traders and hawkers. Almost all the people in the village are Sun, so in the circle of the Han people, this place is called Sunjiazhuang.

Hearing the bad news next door, Sun Tingfang, the village chief of the Sun family, who is also the contemporary patriarch, sent the descendants of the village to help, and brought medicine and food, hoping to save a few survivors.

With the arrival of Chinese merchant ships, the descendants of the Han people here are living better and better, and the Chinese merchants like to trade with these people, which invisibly drives them to get rich first. Of course, this inevitably aroused the jealousy and resentment of the local natives.

Sun Shoucai took a dozen young men in the village, and just halfway through, a group of Dutchmen in military uniforms suddenly appeared. These people couldn't help but say, and when they came up, they detained all the people in Sunjiazhuang, and their attitude was very bad.

Sun Shoucai's ribs were kicked and broken, but he still endured the pain, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile and said, "A few military masters, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." ”

A few Dutchmen said and escorted them to an open area, which was already crowded with natives.

The Dutch sent an indigenous representative and raised his voice: "It is these Chinese spies who slaughtered the fishing village, and on the way to escape, they were caught by our officers." ”

The angry natives rushed up and punched and kicked a dozen people, without any chance to defend themselves, and soon there was no human appearance....

The remaining mob, instigated by the Dutch, rushed into Sunjiazhuang, burning, killing, yin, plundering... A wealthy village, just like that, disappeared ...

The massacre spread to nearby villages, and the Chinese were unlucky, as groups of thugs broke into their homes, killing and wounding them on that day.

In the distance, the real culprits, a group of Dutch officers and soldiers, were watching all this with a smile from the top of the mountain. A few Dutch GIs, laughing and discussing the stupidity of the natives, and the last night's killing was really cool, laughing at the faces of a few girls.

The Dutch were small in number, and it was not easy to rule this vast archipelago, so they thought of a way to lack morality, which was to provoke conflicts between the local indigenous and Han Chinese descendants. It was originally very difficult to let the Han people be scapegoats, but the IQ of the local natives was so touching that they were convinced by the slightest instigation. As long as a few thugs were sent at a time, agitation and instigation, and leading by example, countless mobs would soon be involved, a trick that the Dutch tried and tested.

The fundamental reason why the Dutch killed the killer this time was that the rapid rise in the number of local Chinese and the commercial success made the Dutch feel threatened and uneasy. The strength of the Hua Dynasty has brought the Chinese on the island to life here, and they have done so well.

In many countries in the South Seas, the arrival of the Chinese was much earlier than that of the Dutch. Due to the advanced nature of Chinese culture at that time, the Chinese accumulated a lot of wealth through hard work. Economic strength determines the right to speak, and the status of the Chinese in many parts of Southeast Asia was quite high at first. For example, during the Tang and Song dynasties in Chenla (today's Cambodia), if a Chinese was killed, he would be sentenced to death, but if a Chinese killed someone, he could pay a fine.

The Dutch divided and ruled the indigenous Indonesians and the Chinese, ranking the Europeans as the first class, the alien Orientals as the second class, and the Indonesian indigenous people as the inferior. Not to mention, it also defines Chinese born after Dutch rule as Dutch nationality. Of course, this is not how kind they are, but just to divert the hatred of the natives, who are stupid and forced to be enslaved and oppressed, but do not know who their enemies are. He did not dare to disobey the murderous white-skinned people in his heart, but hated the kind Chinese very much.

This was really what the Dutch wanted, and they wanted the Chinese to be scapegoats in exchange for the loyalty of the natives.

The tragedy in Sunjiazhuang was transmitted back to the inland through the Chinese merchant ships, and an article was even published in the newspaper of Jinling.

Today's Chinese people have a strong sense of national belonging, and a series of victories in foreign wars have given them a sense of great power.

Overseas Chinese can look down on them and laugh at their backwardness. But other people can't be bullied, beaten and scolded, let alone such a heinous massacre. For a while, the people were excited, and the chambers of commerce in various places were especially excited, eager for the imperial court to start a war immediately.

The merchants saw the benefits of taking the East Indies clearly, and for them there was gold and silver everywhere.

In the Forbidden City, in the Nuanfang Pavilion, the important ministers of the court and the central government arrived.

"What? Still going to fight? Jiang Jianxun exclaimed, and even forgot the etiquette of the monarch and the minister.

"That's right, the East Indies is what we call the country of Java, and on this narrow archipelago are our old friends the Dutch, who now have a monopoly on this spice island, do you know how much wealth these Dutch can get every day by selling spices?" Hou Xuanyan got up and pointed to the map and said: "We have already taken Manraka, as long as we take the East Indies, the entire strait will be our inland sea, and at that time, the commercial tax on the road alone will be ten million times the cost of money and food for our war." ”

The Anglo-Dutch War has begun, the Dutch have won consecutive battles, and Hou Xuanyan has decided to help the new English brother. If nothing else, it is to recover the last piece of land in the South Seas, which is also the southern gate of the entire Far Eastern Seas.

"But we still have a million troops fighting in the desert, and if we open up the battlefield again, isn't it too reckless..."

Hou Xuanyan slapped the table and said: "What does the army million have to do with the sailors?" Do you want to send sailors to the war in Dzungaria? I have nearly 300,000 sailors and soldiers, who train day and night, not for fishing. ”

Several officials who wanted to get up sat down one after another, no one wanted to get up and speak at this time, and the sailors were different from the army, the benefits of each war were immediate, and the speed of victory was also fast.

Moreover, the food crisis does not affect the sailors to fight, these people usually eat a lot, the only difference is that the territory of the empire will become larger.

Hou Xuanyan also has his own ideas, a stable eastern sea area is the premise of the expedition. The Spaniards were the enemies of the Chinese at any time.

There is another important reason, which Hou Xuanyan did not say, that is, the East Indies have the second largest rubber production area in the world, and now the Chinese Dynasty needs a lot of rubber to make tires.

"Previously, the Chinese in Luzon were slaughtered, and the Hundred Township Party knelt down to petition, and I once said, 'It is difficult for foreign chiefs to have a friendly heart, and the Chinese do not leave an overnight enemy.'" The words are still in my ears, and the Dutch and the local natives killed my people, because they thought that the knife was not good, and they wanted to try it with their necks. Today, the Luzon sailors and the Manraka sailors will be sent to suppress the thieves nearby, cleanse the islands, and then avenge the blood. When there are millions of corpses in Java and blood flows like a river, don't say that I am unpredictable. ”
