Chapter 241: The Desperate Governor
By the time the Li family arrived at Li Fugui's generation, he had become a well-known rich man in the neighborhood!
Although Li Fugui has been doing some things to repair bridges and pave roads, and he is willing to do charitable things, the Dutch have never had less taxes! However, the natives here don't appreciate it!
There are unforeseen circumstances, and a family with money but no ability to protect itself has become a child walking in the downtown area with gold bricks in his arms in this land full of evil deeds!
The natives who are lazy and lazy, as well as the fierce Dutch, keep digging meat from Li Fugui like a fat pig! Collect taxes, extort, steal, rob! All the bad things that can be done have been done.
Li Fugui, who was unwilling to be tied up, also wanted to resist, but the result was that more than a dozen of his own children and nephews died in vain!
After some time ago, the Dutch began to incite the local natives to start attacking the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and the tragic fate reached a climax!
The rubber plantation was burned down by the natives! One of his daughters and several nieces were ravaged to death by the local natives! Li Fugui will never forget his daughter's face!
Just when Li Fugui, who was in despair, was about to take his family to fight hard, Gao Yang's army arrived!
The natives who occupied the rubber plantation were attacked by more than 100 former Japanese soldiers last night, on a dark and windy night!
More than 200 natives were killed on the spot, and dozens more were captured! In front of Li Fugui and his family, the captured natives were under the threat of the bayonets of the former Japanese soldiers, flashing frightened eyes, trembling and digging a big hole!
After throwing the dead bodies and wounded natives into the pit, the smiling Japanese soldiers drove all the living natives out of the pit with bayonets!
Later, amid the desperate wails of the natives, these former Japanese soldiers sang hometown songs and buried the pit with shovels!
Long after the end of the fighting, the accompanying military discipline officer told them to deal with the mob in this way. He can make these former Japanese soldiers get double the bonus!
Li Fugui burst into tears and hugged the legs of the military discipline officer and cried bitterly! He's been waiting for this day too long!
Since his grandfather's life, everything that generations of hard-working Chinese have exchanged for with their hands has been robbed by foreign devils and natives. He resisted, he prayed, he wailed, he despaired!
Until last night, Heaven answered his call for blood! It's like a god! A group of professional soldiers sent all the lazy and lazy crumbs of the land to hell with cold bayonets and cruel bullets!
This fertile land under the clear blue sky has finally become clean!
The emotional Li Fugui poured everything he had to repay this army. It's just that the military discipline officer refused the money he sent and solemnly told him that from today. You are the master of this land, as long as we are here for a day, then we are your strongest backing!
Li Fugui sent his three adult sons and more than a dozen nephews to the army, a brand new army with local Chinese as the main body, the Lanfang Self-Defense Army!
Tens of thousands of former Japanese soldiers, like dense locusts, set out from Pontianak and began a full-scale sweeping operation in all directions under the leadership of the military discipline officer!
Where are the natives who flaunt their might in front of the local Chinese people who are the opponents of these professional soldiers? They were devastated in a short period of time!
The former Japanese soldiers who had left their homeland brought out the most evil nature in their hearts. Under the deliberate indulgence of the military discipline officers, these mercenaries will not leave chickens and dogs wherever they go!
All the villages and tribes were burned and the wells were filled. Crops are burned, and all livestock is either killed or taken away!
When the mercenaries left satisfied, they were left with a land of devastated ruins! There are only corpses everywhere, and there is no lifeless silent death!
The riots in Borneo were quelled in the shortest possible time. Wherever the Japanese mercenaries went, there were no more rebellions! People are gone. Do you still expect the monkeys in the jungle to riot?
Except for a handful of lucky people who were able to escape into the rainforest at gunpoint from this group of mercenaries who had left their homes and had nothing and had become vicious for money, and stole their lives. On the entire island of Borneo, there are only hard-working overseas Chinese left!
The Dutch, who stirred up trouble on the island, didn't end well. All the Dutch were gathered together and toiled desperately under the bayonet guard of the Japanese mercenaries. Build roads. Build railways, expand ports, and so on. There is no time limit for their hard labor, only to die!
Those who refuse to serve hard labor. Those who resisted, shouting that they were XXXX, were all hanged by Japanese mercenaries on the island outside the port of Pontianak! Rows of wooden stakes are covered with air-dried skeletons!
As for the fierce protests of the Dutch, who cares?
When the news broke, the persecuted Chinese throughout the South Seas went to Borneo with their families. The natives everywhere and the colonizers of the Western powers were all silenced in an instant, and all persecution actions disappeared in an instant!
In this era of strength, your strength is strong, and you are more ruthless. He who is weaker than you will be afraid of you, afraid of you! The only thing you can trust to protect yourself is your own fist! You can't rely on prayer for safety!
Dutch Governor Luther in Batavia. Gregory. Bauma is the one who worries the most.
In recent times, the light fleet in Pontianak has been coming around the island of Java from time to time. When the Dutch East Indies fleet went out to intercept, they said they were here for training.
But who will run to a place dozens of nautical miles in front of someone else's house to fire when they are training! This is a blatant provocation!
The weak Dutch East Indies fleet did not dare to start the battle lightly, even if it waited until the support fleet from the mainland arrived!
Let's not talk about whether they can fight or not, even if they can destroy this light fleet that comes to provoke without trouble, what if their main fleet comes?
Just yesterday morning, after escorting the garrison troops to the island of Timor-Leste, the main forces of the Grand Fleet came to the port of Batavia in the name of a visit! At this moment, they are staying in the military port not far from the Governor's Palace!
Nine capital ships! The ports of Batavia don't even have berths for them to dock! When Mr. Governor saw the majestic ships in the harbor, his legs trembled!
Those hundreds of giant guns weren't even covered with cannons! Just pointed to the Dutch fleet in the harbor, and the batteries on the shore!
The Surabaja, the flagship of the Dutch East India Fleet, with the largest displacement, was as small as a skinny toy ship at the side of the Grand Fleet!
The pessimistic Mr. Governor didn't even think that there was a need to exchange fire, and Gao Yang's fleet could send his toy ships to the bottom of the sea even if they hit them!
At this moment, Mr. Governor, who was watching the Grand Fleet from the Governor's residence, was holding in his hand the latest telegram from the Netherlands.
Dutch politics. The government has sent the latest warship, the cruiser Java, which was completed in May this year, to the East Indies.
He was accompanied by Hendrick, Van Anderson. The Hermskirk and the North Brabant, the three grandfather-class coastal defense ships that were originally deployed in the Netherlands! Even the Dutch-class armored cruiser Gerdland, built in 1897, was sent!
Dutch politics. The government is already in a hurry. In order to keep the East Indies under the guns of Gaoyang, and no matter what the use of sending them is, they collected all the warships that could sail far away, and sent them to Java in one go. It seems that with these rags, they can compete with Gao Yang's Grand Fleet!
As for Gao Yang's previous assurances that he would not continue to infringe on the interests of the Dutch in Nanyang, they would not believe it at all. Even the British did not believe in the guarantee of safety! It's not once or twice that the British have abandoned their allies!
Mr. Governor threw the telegram aside with a distressed face, and the local bureaucrats did not know anything! Don't think about things at all!
"Do they think that with these small boats, they can fight against the battleships of Gaoyang? Or do you think that sending a warship will show your determination? So that Gao Yang can retreat from the difficulty? No kidding! Who is Gao Yang? He dared to punch the British in the face! Combined, these small ships of the Dutch Navy are not as heavy as one of his capital ships! What else can be done other than to be able to show the bravery of the Dutch naval officers and men? Want to intimidate Gao Yang? It's insane! "Mr. Governor felt that his head was hurting more and more, and Gao Yang's meaning was obvious, he had a very strong interest in the East Indies!
Beat? Can't beat it! Talk? Gao Yang is not a bird Dutch at all! "Alas~~~" Mr. Governor sighed, and he vaguely felt in his heart that his career as governor was about to end!
On the flagship of the Grand Fleet of the Navy, the Dingyuan. Commander Lin was accompanying the overseas Chinese delegates who had come on board to visit the warship.
Mr. Chen, a multimillionaire overseas Chinese leader who came all the way from Singapore, stood in front of the main turret of the Dingyuan, and excitedly reached out to stroke the thick barrel of the main gun.
"Since you came, our time in the South Seas has been much better!" Mr. Chen said to Commander Lin with an emotional face.
"You have suffered all these years, and the order given to me by Commander-in-Chief Gao is to protect all overseas Chinese in Nanyang!" Commander Lin said in a deep voice: "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can go to Pontianak to find our people." Tomorrow the fleet will visit Singapore, after which I will return with the fleet. However, as soon as something happens in the south, the fleet will immediately go south! Don't be afraid of anything, we've got you covered! ”
"Thank you Commander-in-Chief Gao for your concern! So many years here. Finally able to live with dignity! Now those foreigners no longer dare to extort, and those natives have disappeared. It's all your work! Mr. Chen said with emotion.
With a confident smile on his face, Commander Lin chuckled and said, "What is this, Commander-in-Chief Gao told me." After so many years of oppression, you want to cover it like this? Dream on! I'm going to vomit out everything I eat! And you have to add interest! It's not over! ”
"Oh?" Mr. Chen asked with a surprised face, "Commander-in-Chief Gao, do you still want to?"
Commander Lin shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Chen doesn't have to ask about military matters. The fleet is going to visit Singapore tomorrow, would Mr. Tan be willing to go along? ”
"Oh? It's true? It's great to be able to travel on such a national weapon. It was the happiest moment of my life! Mr. Chen said with joy on his face.
Turning around and caressing the armor of the main turret, Mr. Chen's eyes flashed with solemnity. A complicated look flashed in his misty eyes, and he muttered in a low voice, "No matter how fanciful you say, you can't compare to such a real thing." (To be continued.) If you like this work.
