Chapter 214: The Riot Begins

In the 30th year of Zhongxing (1928), in the studio of the Imperial Royal Television in Hanjing, an imperial citizen was invited, but he was not an orthodox Chinese, but belonged to the Burmese ethnic group of the Chinese Empire.

After he sat down, a very handsome hostess spoke: "Master Daoda, Master is a famous Buddhist master of the Burmese ethnic group. Today, I invite the master here to do a live interview, and I ask the master to tell you the truth. ”

"The poor monk must answer truthfully." Daoda folded his hands.

"Master, we learned that you were in Jakarta when the Indonesians rioted and massacred the Chinese thirty years ago, can you tell us about the scene first?"

The hostess's words made Daoda fall silent for a while, and the picture from thirty years ago was vivid, that is, after that incident, Daoda became a monk. Bloodshed and brutality are the best interpretations of the massacre that took place in Jakarta 30 years ago.

Daoda closed his eyes and said slowly:

"We didn't know what was going on that day, it came so suddenly. At noon that day, I had just eaten and was about to go to work on the plantation. As soon as I left the house, I saw Indonesians smashing Chinese shops on the street, and three or four Indonesians rushed up to me, put machetes around my neck and asked if I was Chinese.

I saw this and did not dare to go to the plantation again. I had just been to Indonesia at the time, and I didn't know what was going on. He climbed to the roof and sat down on it to watch secretly.

Next door to me, there was a Chinese shop, and more than a dozen Indonesians broke in, but they didn't find the Chinese, and it was likely that they got the news early in the morning and left here. But the Indonesians didn't let the store go, they looted the goods inside, and a huge store was sold out in just a few minutes. I also saw that even the doors and bedding of the shops were removed, and then the Indonesians set fire to the shops.

At that time, the whole street was already full of Indonesians, and there were people everywhere looting things, as long as it was a Chinese store, they were like ants moving, and it was common to see Indonesians themselves fighting because of each other's goods.

In a house not far away, four Chinese were found by Indonesians, including only a man, two children, and a woman. The Chinese man took a Daguan knife and hacked three Indonesians to death on the spot, but there were too many Indonesians. An Indonesian took advantage of the gap when he swung the knife, and saw the Chinese man's back with a knife, and other Indonesians swarmed up, and soon the Chinese man was hacked to death, even the head was cut off, and an Indonesian picked up the Daguan knife, stuck the Chinese man's head on the Guan knife, and raised it and cheered.

After the man died, the two children were also hacked to death on the spot. I can still remember the dying cries of the two children, who were their fathers. The Chinese woman cried and bit at the two Indonesians who had grabbed her. But the two Indonesians showed no mercy at all, beat the woman on the spot and covered in blood, and finally grabbed her by the hair, dragged her out into the street, tore the woman's clothes on the spot, and dozens of men swarmed her. They didn't care about the blood on the woman's body at all, for two whole hours, half an hour before, the woman could still scream, and there was no sound in the back. In the end, the woman's body was not spared, it was brutally mutilated and thrown everywhere.

I vomited and it was the first time I'd seen anything like that.

And while the Indonesians were committing atrocities against the woman, dozens of Dutch soldiers came to my door, smoking cigarettes and watching the woman being abused by the Indonesians. As I watched and judged, those words, like those pictures, were forever fixed in my mind.

Those Indonesians don't know how to be gentle. ’

'Chinese women are good-looking, although they are bloody, but they are also better looking than Indonesian women. ’

'That sounds like a good scream'

It's a pity that we can only watch from the sidelines every time. ’

'Be content! Wait for filial piety to come, although the Chinese are hardworking, they don't know how to be filial, or Indonesians, you can get a lot of benefits every time. ’

……

These words completely express the ugly side of Western colonizers, and also completely subvert my worldview.

Then the Indonesians ran to the city center, where they might have found the Chinese again.

That's all I remember. ”

"Master, didn't the Imperial Army parachute into Jakarta after that, I remember that the leader of the team at that time was the current Imperial General General Xu Shiyou, didn't you see the paratroopers appear in Jakarta?"

"I hid in my house after the Indonesians ran away. Then I heard the sound of gunfire, planes, explosions, shouts, and wailing, but I didn't come out to see it. The sounds continued for two days, and on the morning of the third day, they stopped. I had the courage to walk out of the room, when my door was already full of corpses, and blood was still flowing through the cracks in my house, and when I saw it, it was already dark red and black. The whole of Jakarta was littered with dead Indonesians, and there were many Dutch soldiers like the Indonesians. At that time, I also helped the Chinese to destroy these bodies. The whole street was covered with blood, the dirt was soaked red with blood, and stumps and severed arms were everywhere. Tens of thousands of people cleaned up for two whole days before the bodies were collected and burned together. ”

"I don't know if the master wants to see the next picture, His Majesty the Emperor Zhongxing of the Chinese Empire granted permission to unseal the recorded footage that happened in Jakarta on the 30th anniversary of the martyrdom of the Chinese in Jakarta. This picture is what the master does not see, if the master does not want to see it, he can go down first. ”

"Although the answer has always been in my mind, I still want to see it."

The black-and-white images appeared on all the color television sets that were watching the Imperial Royal Television, and for the first time, the footage that had been kept under lockdown thirty years ago appeared in the public eye.

Although that place is no longer called Jakarta, the historical record of this day is still called: Black Jakarta!

――――――――――――――――

Under Liu Sixuan's call, tens of thousands of Chinese men were gathered outside their residences, all their beds, tables and chairs were moved out, and several street entrances were tightly blocked. The Chinese from all over Jakarta were gathered, and the remaining Chinese who did not evacuate here in time had to resign themselves to fate. A white man was talking to the guys who came to show the movie yesterday.

When the Chinese were in a meeting this morning, it was this white-looking person who notified the team who came to Indonesia to show the film, and the film team hurriedly notified the Chinese in Indonesia. It is precisely in this way that the Chinese in Jakarta have more time to defend themselves. However, the time is still a little urgent, and many Chinese have not had time to evacuate here because of the distance. And unless those Chinese are not found, the consequences... The white man was none other than the spy lurking in Jakarta, and according to the need for naming, he gave himself a name, Linlauti, and disguised himself as Ida. Lauti. Dutch descent, to come here is to disguise yourself as a Dutch merchant.

After learning of the rumor, Lauty sensed that someone was fanning the flames behind him, so he carefully screened it at that time, and finally pointed the finger at Hendrys. However, he did not take any action, but immediately launched a surveillance of the Indonesians in the city, and early this morning, he noticed that the Indonesians began to gather. Knowing that something was going to happen, he immediately sent a three-urgent secret message to Han Jing, and conveyed the situation to the Chinese community through the film team.

From the time the news was received to the present, it has now become a defensive fortress for the time being, and the Doge's Palace has been excluded from the fortress. In order to speed up, the defensive circle is not large, and one of the disadvantages of a small place is that the defense does not last long, and the advantage is to concentrate forces. Against the Indonesians, who do not have guns, such a defensive circle is enough.

Under the introduction of the leader of the film team, Liu Sixuan and Laudy got to know each other. At first, I didn't know what Lauti's identity was, but when he learned that Lautie was working for the empire, Liu Sixuan immediately became enthusiastic about Lauti.

"Mr. Liu, as long as everyone guards here, the paratroopers of the empire will arrive soon, and it is now one o'clock in the afternoon, we only need to hold for two more hours." After saying a few words of greeting to Liu Sixuan, Lottie looked at the time and said to Liu Sixuan.

"Really! But what is a paratrooper? "Liu Sixuan has been worried about whether this place can be defended, even if the empire wants to send reinforcements over, it will take at least a day, this is the most ideal time, and it is also the fastest time. After a long time, Liu Sixuan was very worried that he would not be able to hold on for so long. For paratroopers, they knew that they were a branch of the army as soon as they heard it, but what kind of class it was, Liu Sixuan couldn't figure it out, could it be a soldier with an umbrella?

"You'll know in two hours, and we're going to plan now how to better keep these two hours. And this news should be known to everyone as soon as possible to boost our morale. Lauti wasn't in the mood to explain what paratroopers were like, they would have seen it anyway.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Liu Sixuan nodded.

Soon the news spread among the Chinese in the defense circle, and tens of thousands of people, including old and young women and children, cheered and cheered, and there was no better news at this time. As long as you hold on for two hours, it's really nothing compared to the previous battles.

While the crowd was cheering, a large number of Indonesians had already approached. They slowly cleaned up from the outskirts of Jakarta just to not let go of a single Chinese. Behind the Indonesians, there were quite a few Dutch soldiers.
