Java Island is located in the south of Borneo, southeast of Jinzhou, the area is smaller than Jinzhou and Borneo, and it is far away from Taiwan, but it is very close to Australia, so it can be said that the geographical location is somewhat remote.

But don't underestimate the island of Java, this island a long time ago, is the center of civilization in the entire South Seas, although the area of Jinzhou and Borneo is much larger than the island of Java, but in terms of population and civilization, it is still willing to lose, according to the statistics of the previous slave hunting association, the population of Java Island should be more than six million, and may even be more.

Another point is that the degree of development of Java Island is much higher than that of other islands, the arable land area of the island accounts for more than half of the total area of the island, and there are many volcanoes on the island, and there are volcanic eruptions from time to time, and it is precisely because of the influence of volcanic ash that the land here is also extraordinarily fertile, and the rice yield on the island is not inferior to that of Linyi. In addition, the island is rich in gold and silver, as well as minerals such as coal, iron, and sulfur, so in the eyes of the Han people, Java can be said to be the first treasure island in the South Seas.

It is also because Java Island has such huge human and material resources, so when Li Su had just gained a firm foothold in Taiwan, he had already made Java a key development object, not only doing business with the indigenous kingdom on Java Island on the surface, but also secretly provoking internal strife among the kingdoms on the island, and then purchasing prisoners of war produced in the war. If there were not enough prisoners of war, some slave hunters would take matters into their own hands, raiding the natives along the coast by boat, and then taking men and women in their prime as slaves.

Several small countries on the island of Java didn't care much about the slave capture by the slave catchers at first, after all, they were small countries. The domination of the country was weak, and the upper aristocracy was only concerned about the safety of a few key cities in the country. As for the other small villages, they don't matter at all. What's more, the Han people also brought exquisite goods to the island to trade, which brought them huge benefits, so there was no need to annoy the Han people for these little things.

However, this situation did not last long, as the slave catcher team became more and more rampant on the island, several kingdoms on the island finally paid attention to it, and sent envoys to Datang and Taiwan to protest, but the slave hunting was originally supported by Li Su behind the scenes, so their protest not only had no effect, but also made the slave catcher team retaliate.

At that time, Yanbei, who was in charge of the slave hunting team, gathered a slave hunting team of tens of thousands of people. Then they united and sent troops to Java, destroying the two loudest small countries in a row, which made the small Javanese countries that were already not united immediately silence and no longer dared to make any obstruction to the actions of the slave catchers.

In this way, the island of Java slowly became the backyard of the slave hunting association, and most of the slave hunters liked to hunt slaves here, firstly because of the large population here, and secondly because the agriculture here was developed and the slaves were very experienced in growing various crops. If you catch it, you can sell it for a good price, so this also makes Javanese slaves extremely popular, and even in just a few years, Javanese slaves in Taiwan and Datang have approached the million population mark.

It turns out that there are five small countries on the island of Java. After two were wiped out by the slave hunting association in Yanbei, there were still three left, namely Heling in the east and Japo in the west. and Mataran in the center, but because the local names of these three countries are too awkward. So these three kingdoms are generally referred to as East Java, West Java, and Central Java.

Originally, these three kingdoms were frightened by Yanbei's extermination of the country, and there was constant filth between the three of them. So it is simply impossible to unite against foreign enemies. But then this situation was broken, mainly because with the crazy slave hunting of slave hunting associations, it has caused serious damage to the population structure of the three kingdoms, the lack of young and strong labor in the kingdom, most of the rest are old people and children, and the lack of young and strong labor has led to the poverty of most families, and even food has become a problem, which is unimaginable for the rich islands of the South Seas.

And this situation of poverty and famine is getting worse, and there are many volcanoes in West Java, and just some time ago, several volcanoes erupted together, and the dense volcanic ash stained the entire sky black and gray, and a large number of crops died. As a result, under this natural and man-made disaster, West Java was the first large-scale conflict to break out, and countless poor natives rushed into the city, and then began to burn and loot, and the cruelty of human nature was most thoroughly manifested at this time.

In this conflict, most of the towns in West Java were washed away by the rioters, even the capital of the kingdom was not spared, mainly because some soldiers took the opportunity to rebel and joined the mob to loot, as a result, there was a gap in the guards of the capital, and after being rushed in by the mob, many citizens of the capital also joined in, so the riot became more serious.

This rebellion in West Java never ended, the capital of the kingdom was occupied by mobs, and finally even the king's palace was broken by them, the treasures of the kingdom were looted, the king and his sons were all brutally dismembered, and the queen and the king's concubines and daughters died even more miserably. To make matters worse, more than two dozen Han merchants also died in the clashes.

And after receiving the news of the death of the Han Shang, Li Su immediately reacted and was ready to make the mob in West Java pay the price, so he mobilized two armies from Linyi and the Lion City, namely the 10,000-strong Japanese army and the 10,000-strong Samhan army, and ordered them to enter West Java to quell the rebellion, allowing them to use any unconventional means.

These ferocious Japanese and Sanhan people have been trained by Li Su to become a loyal hunting dog, Li Su let them bite whoever they want, no matter whether this order is right or wrong, so after they entered West Java under the banner of quelling the West Javanese rebellion, they immediately carried out Li Su's order to the letter, and entered a brutal suppression of those rioting natives, for a time West Java because of the entry of these two armies, once again set off a bloody climax, in just half a month, tens of thousands of mobs have been slaughtered.

However, Li Su's decision to send troops this time can be very clever, or it can be said to be very unsuccessful, because according to the previous estimates of him, Lu Hong and others, if you want to end the rebellion in West Java in a short time, you must use thunderous means to suppress the mob, and wait until the most troublesome mob is suppressed, and then launch a former West Javanese royal family as a puppet, and then the entire West Java will fall into the hands of Taiwan.

This plan can be said to have an excellent grasp of the timing, the only drawback is that it will lead to the death of countless Javanese natives in the process of suppression, and the slave production here will definitely be greatly reduced in the future, but the world is so big, the origin of slaves is still easy to find, and Java is the center of the South Seas, so after occupying here, there are still many benefits, so Li Su resolutely sent troops.

However, when the troops were dispatched, Wang An expressed his opposition, because he believed that such a move might provoke East Java and Central Java, and if they joined forces, it would probably have a huge impact on the situation in Java. However, Li Su and Lu Hong insisted that the war between East Java and Central Java continued, and there was no sign of their union before, so Wang An's concern was obviously unnecessary.

However, it turns out that the truth is indeed in the hands of a few, and although the situation in East and Central Java is not as bad as in West Java, it is also greatly affected by the slave hunt, and the natives in the country are also in distress, and it can turn into a situation like that in West Java at any time.

In particular, the royal families of the two countries were even more panicked after hearing what happened to the king and his family in West Java, and the news that Li Su sent troops into West Java became the last straw that broke the will of the two countries, on the one hand, they could be killed by the mob of people, and on the other hand, they sent troops into Java, posing a deadly threat to their own country, and neither of these results was what they wanted to see.

It was also under this deadly pressure that the East Javanese and Central Javanese began to put aside their prejudices and then actively engage in contact, and finally the kings of the two countries married each other's daughters, and then reached an agreement to form a close alliance to resist the invasion of Li Su.

As soon as this alliance was established, it immediately publicized the evil behavior of the slave catchers in the country, and attributed the current predicament of the two countries to the slave catchers.

In fact, these natives already hated the Han people, especially the slave hunting team, but now they have official support, and the anger accumulated in their hearts immediately erupted.

In view of this situation, Li Su was also immediately alerted, and withdrew all the Han people in the two countries as much as possible, and if they were really unable to leave, then they should not stay in the cities of the two countries, but go to some of the strongholds established by Li Su on the coast of Java.

These strongholds are the nails that Li Su nailed in the three countries of Java, and they are generally built by various slave catching teams, which are usually guarded by members of the slave catching teams, and only Han Chinese are allowed to enter the interior, and they are very strong, as long as they do not encounter large-scale attacks, there is generally no danger.

But the counterattack of East Java and Central Java was unexpectedly violent, only a few months later, at the instigation of the two countries, countless mobs transferred their hatred to the Han people, and then with the armies of the two countries as the core, countless natives spontaneously joined, forming hundreds of thousands of people to besiege the stronghold by the sea, and soon there was a stronghold that could not be resisted, fortunately the stronghold was built near the sea, whenever the stronghold could not resist, it would retreat to the sea, and with the kind of small wooden boats of the natives, they did not dare to pursue at all, so the casualties of the Han people were not large.

However, the fierce resistance of East Java and Central Java gave Li Su a blow to the head, and now he has to admit that the situation in Java has gotten out of control, and unless he sends 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress it at any cost, it is impossible to calm the chaos in Java in a short time.

However, just when Li Su had a headache for the chaotic situation in Java and regretted his mistake in decision-making, a small accident ended the chaotic situation in Java, but the consequences of this accident were also extremely terrible! (To be continued......)
