Chapter 203 Those who commit crimes against the people of China will be punished even if they are far away
The morning light on Hanzhong Island is always so beautiful, and the moment the sun rises in the east, the moment it jumps on the horizon, brings hope for a new day to this alternative Chinese country. And the wind that raged all night has finally passed.
Among the tens of thousands of residents living on this foreigner's mouth, 80% of the residents are Chinese, and the remaining 20% are Indonesian indigenous people and Dutch colonizers. This vast island, twice the size of Hong Kong, is blessed with a unique location in the depths of the South Sea. In the early years, the banana plantations and rubber plantations owned by the Chinese were the envy of the Chinese in other places. At that time, the Indonesian natives, honest as dogs, and later, the Dutch came, and they changed all that. More and more Dutch people began to build large-scale banana, palm, rubber, coffee and tobacco plantations on land, which greatly squeezed the living space of the Chinese. Not to mention, they even used the power of the colonizers to forcibly seize fertile plantations from the Chinese, either at very low prices or in forced exchange of tidal flats.
It was under this harsh treatment of third-class non-citizens that the Chinese, with their industrious hands, either engaged in business, or worked, or slowly built new plantations on the tidal flats. As a result, the Chinese still became the economic hegemon of the region after some time. The industrious and simple Chinese, inheriting the characteristics of the Chinese nation's simplicity and tenacity, have taken root in Hanzhong Island, and are becoming more and more united, and even the colonial authorities have to be afraid of three points.
The Dutch became more and more jealous of the existence of the Chinese, and began to support the Indonesian natives, giving them favorable conditions and support, so that they could fight the Chinese. Over time, the status of the Chinese has become narrower and narrower under the exclusion of the Dutch and Indonesian indigenous monkeys. In this context, some qualified Chinese began to go to Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and other places in the British or French Far Eastern colonies. But the majority of people can only suffer from this oppression. Because here are the things they have struggled for all their lives, if they are easily discarded, how many decades will people have in their lives to struggle again?
The sun had risen, and the night's winds seemed to have passed.
"Uncle, the wind was really strong last night, your house is fine."
"Sanwazi, thanks to you for helping to repair the house last time, otherwise I'm afraid that even the roof will be blown away this time, haha......"
"Aunt Mo, bring me a fritter."
…… In the morning light, the entire huge Hanzhong Island is full of scenes, and if it were not for the occasional cowering and strange eyes of the Indonesian natives who occasionally jumped by suspiciously, many people might think that this is a Chinese fishing island, because it is one of the places where Nanyang Han education and Chinese customs are most intact at present.
The bustling crowd, including farmers and small plantation owners working in the fields, students who go to the school to study, workers who go to the port to work as porters, and traders who do small business, it seems that there will always be an invisible cohesion.
However, all this was shattered by a sudden tragedy.
"Ah...... , it's killing people......"
"Indonesian pigs are going to kill, everyone run......"
"Damn, it's here again,--, I've done it twice in half a month, everyone copy the guy."
…… This is a small town very close to the harbor, mainly a Chinese gathering place, due to the proximity to the seaport, it is not only developed by sea trade, it is an important port for the island's output, and there are countless plantations nearby, although there are few Indonesians in the town, but there are many Indonesian monkeys who come to the port and plantations to work, and it is also one of the places where there are frequent disputes.
In this town, there are also several factories of the Zhang family, mainly cigarette factories, coffee factories and small machinery factories, which are also the industries that the Zhang family was able to survive after years of false relations with the Dutch and heavy taxes.
And only half a month ago, the Indonesian natives just had a big conflict with the Chinese, the three Chinese are still lying in bed, and the Indonesian miscellaneous is not good, five Indonesian monkeys were directly crippled, and the Dutch colonial authorities violently searched for the murderer on the whole island, but it turned out because the Chinese were tightly hugged.
Looking at the Indonesian monkeys rushing in at the entrance of the town, the Chinese have no idea why they are crazy again, it seems that every time there is a conflict, these Indonesian natives will not tell the reason, they will only scream and shout something in the ugly Indonesian indigenous language, and then brutally kill the Chinese, they have machetes and shotguns in their hands, and when they are weak, there are Dutch colonists to help them.
Seeing that the Indonesian pigs were coming again, the old and weak women and children among the Chinese took refuge, the young and strong laborers took up the long sickles and flat shoulders in their hands, machetes and the like, and prepared to fight, and more people went home to get some secret old knives and guns and the like, ready to fight. In this gathering place of the outcasts of the Celestial Empire, there is no army, no police, no one can help them, only themselves. And they are often still in a vulnerable position, after all, the Indonesian monkeys are not to mention the extinction of human surnames, and there are Dutch people behind them.
The two sides soon fought together, and the knives and sticks beckoned to each other mercilessly.
"Indonesian monkeys are going to set fire!! They're going to ruin our town, they're going to ruin our homes, they want to dominate the plantations and the port!! ”
This time, someone finally found out that something was wrong, in the past, it was just a fight, and occasionally caused some deaths, but now, these Indonesian natives actually dared to set fire to it, this is to exterminate everything, they want to drive the Chinese out of this area with the highest concentration of plantations and the only industry on the island. Once successful, the Chinese will lose this largest port of departure, and the Chinese will be able to negotiate with the Dutch with their large numbers, bargain for the use of the port, and beg for a living in the port, and if they lose this only right to speak, not only will the output of the small Chinese plantations be completely controlled by the Dutch and Indonesian monkeys, but they will even lose the right to live in this area and the plantations.
This time, the battle was unprecedentedly fierce, especially when the Chinese found that more and more Indonesian monkeys began to pour in from all over the place, and the situation finally turned bad.
Yang Yuanzhi's ancestral home is Longyan, Fujian, and his father's generation could not bear the oppression of the late Qing Dynasty, so he and several clansmen combined and went to the South Seas on a big fishing boat. He was born in Longyan, and although he was only two years old at the time, this did not affect his identity as a pure Chinese in the slightest. Growing up in his family, his neighborhood was a purely Chinese-style society, and he even studied in the second grade of junior high school in the middle school run by the Zhang family. However, his father, Yang Tiancai, was cut to half in a provocation by an Indonesian, and the Indonesian monkey was even more unlucky, and his dirty head turned into a watermelon.
The education Yang Yuanzhi received since he was a child was actually based on Confucian education, but whether it was the elders in the family, the elders in the clan, or the teachers in the school, they all told them that if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and if people offend me, they must be doubled back. This is not empty talk, this is what the Chinese people have summed up after they were weak and bullied at the beginning, and later relied on their blood and lives in exchange for a painful lesson. There is no way to reason with the Indonesians, let alone negotiate, and in the face of these savage Indonesian monkeys, there is only one thing you need to do, grab any weapon you can find and rush forward. If you don't rush forward, the children, parents, elderly, and wives behind you will become the target of the Indonesians' head trampling.
When the Indonesians rushed over, Yang Yuanzhi was sharpening his knife on the whetstone at the entrance of the town, and the long sickle was specially used to cut palm leaves, which was called a sharp. Immediately jumped up, lifted the long scythe and rushed out with the group.
At the beginning, according to the memories of the old people, when the Indonesians had not yet received the support of the Dutch, they would send some people who were fluent in Chinese to provoke or find faults, and the two sides could not negotiate before they started, but now, with the Dutch colonial army 'musketeers' behind them, they are becoming more and more unscrupulous, they will grab what they want, and if they want to achieve any dirty goals, they will rush over and slash and kill, without even any cover-up.
Originally, there were far more Han people on the island than Indonesians, but there were many old, weak, sick and disabled women in the composition of the Han people, and in addition to the indigenous people, there were many criminals who were exiled to the island, as well as some thugs invited by Indonesian plantation owners from other places.
In this small island, there is always a lot of bloodshed throughout the year, and the savage and ferocious Indonesian natives, although they lose more men almost every time, are defeated, but in the end, with the support of the Dutch rifles, they can turn defeat into victory.
The countries of the so-called civilized world, but on this small island are doing the same things as animals, no one knows, not even newspapers and no news attention, in this backward era, unless the entire Chinese in Indonesia are killed, the whole world, even including the former political axe of the Republic of China, will not pay attention here.
Not to mention Hanzhong Island, or even the entire South Seas, it has not been put in the world's field of vision. So, they only have to fight on their own.
"you, Indonesian dog!"
Yang Yuanzhi gritted his teeth, lifted the long sickle in his hand, and took advantage of the chaos to rush to an Indonesian monkey who was holding a torch and pouting his ass there trying to set fire to the houses at the entrance of the town, and slashed down fiercely.
"Ah......" The Indonesian monkey only had time to scream and rolled out, and the huge force under Yang Yuanzhi's anger made the sickle directly cut his thigh, cutting into the flesh more than ten centimeters deep, bringing up a large piece of meat, and the already distorted face of the painful guy was even more distorted.
"Ahh......hh
An Indonesian monkey next to him saw that Yang Yuanzhi was violent, and lifted a scimitar in his hand and slashed at him, but Yang Yuanzhi caught a glimpse of it, and rolled violently to dodge.
"Damn, I'm going to stab you to death."
The Indonesian monkey wanted to rush up to mend the knife, but he saw a Chinese man carrying a wooden spear next to him, and stabbed him suddenly, which was not bad, just stabbing the Indonesian monkey to the heart.
Getting up from the ground, Yang Yuanzhi didn't care about the injury on his leg, so he lifted the sickle and prepared to rush up again, although there were not many Indonesian monkeys, they were raided, and this posture was even more of an idea of exterminating the Chinese, who could care about being injured or not, it was just a life.
"Folks, we Chinese are all a cheap life, we don't care about the sky, the earth doesn't love, we have to act on our own, resistance, resistance is the only way out!! What are the Indonesians, are they as ferocious as the Huns? What are the Indonesians, and are they as ferocious as the Japanese robbers? What are the Indonesians, do they have the tyranny of the Yuan Qing? Although we have no political axe, no army, no guardians, we ourselves are our own backers, take up arms, and we will defend our homeland together. We've sent people to the back town for help, so you have to hold on......"
A respectable Chinese old man jumped on the whetstone and shouted with full vigor, he was in his fifties, and he was still carrying a hoe.
"Dad, something is wrong!!"
Zhangfu is located in another town near the port, this town is relatively large, so to speak, the town near the port in front is the screen of this big town.
Zhang Yueshan ran into the backyard with a fall, ignoring the usual etiquette, and shouted loudly.
Zhang Chaozhong, who was lying on the recliner, heard this, and immediately stood up at a speed that did not match his age, in this place, big things are not good, and they are generally related to Indonesian natives or Dutch.
"The brutes are here again??"
"Dad, dozens of Indonesians are slaughtering Nanwan Town, and the townspeople are organizing a rebellion, but, according to the information just received, three large ships suddenly docked in the port, thousands of Indonesian monkeys came down, and there were also changes in several nearby Indonesian animal gathering places." Zhang Yueshan reported in a trembling voice, it is really unfortunate, the resistance that the Chinese here have been preparing for a long time has not yet been launched, and the Indonesians actually dare to fight again.
"Yue Shan, these beasts want to cut off the roots of our Chinese people on Hanzhong Island!! Hurry, hurry, go send a telegram to Minshan, mobilize all our men and horses, send the guns down, Lao Tzu personally led the team, go and fight with them!! ”
Zhang Chaozhong has such experience, as soon as he heard this posture, he knew that the catastrophe of the Chinese on Hanzhong Island was coming, and at this time, what Dutch, what guns were no longer a reason for the Chinese to retreat, and even he, a seventy-year-old man, had to carry a gun into battle.
"Dad, my son is with you, and death can't let the Indonesian dog succeed."
Zhang Yueshan didn't understand the old father's thoughts, the Zhang family's conspiracy was not exposed, and the upcoming massacre did not happen because of the Zhang family's conspiracy, and the fact is that every moment, Nanyang, especially Indonesia, a country of beasts, has been slaughtering at both ends for three days, but this time, those Indonesians have moved the most ruthless minds to completely wipe out the Chinese on Hanzhong Island and rob all the plantations and the few factories that there are.
Hanzhong Island is far from being the Nanyang region with the largest number of Chinese, but it is the most densely populated and well-organized place for Chinese, otherwise the Chinese Kingdom would not have been established in those years, and the Chinese of the so-called 'Greater Natuna Islands' have always been a nail in the heart of the Dutch.
Zhang Yueshan quickly ran to the telegraph room, and asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to his eldest brother, who was still on the warship, in a trembling voice.
He knew that if the eldest brother had not returned to China this time, the Chinese on Hanzhong Island might have been wiped out silently, after all, no matter how much they struggled, the Dutch were already a mountain that was difficult for the Chinese to cross, and it was this colonizer who blocked the Chinese from reaching the other side of the mountain of freedom and prosperity.
And the success of the eldest brother will bring the greatest hope to the Chinese.
In the depths of the South Seas, the Hanjing of the Lower South Sea Fleet suddenly received an urgent telegram from the South Seas.
"Report, Nanyang Hanzhong Island Emergency Telegram!"
The soldier's unique sense of crisis shocked Liu Tiangao's heart, realized that something bad had happened, took the telegram and looked at it, although it was only a dozen or so simple words, but it made him angry in his heart, and the fire burned from the soles of his feet.
With a "bang", Liu Tiangao smashed his fist on the chart table, then turned around and shouted loudly, "Order, target Hanzhong Island, the whole fleet is moving forward at full speed!! ”
