Chapter 545: Rely on Yourself

Chapter 545 is still on your own

Of course, they can't understand Chen Xie's thoughts, and looking at the current situation from Chen Xie's point of view, the most important thing is the stability of Batavia, and after the smooth transition is completed, they will talk about other issues. Another problem is that the Europeans in this period did not have much sense of statehood. Once the nationality of the Ming Dynasty is accepted, it will not take many years to assimilate them, just look at the Xilao Sutra and they will know. During this period, the people who came out to take risks in Europe to beg for a living were basically people who had a hard time surviving in Europe. These people really have no feelings for the country, otherwise where did the United States come from?

There is another problem, the Ming Dynasty has never been a maritime country, and the people as a whole lack maritime awareness, Chen Xie needs the integration of these European populations to become a supplement to the personnel who open up overseas. As long as Daming remains strong, these people will be proud of Daming in the future. If you are not strong enough and you are beaten to death, you may not want to stay.

Last but not least, this is Java, and it's better to deal with the local natives, or these Dutch. Force is an important means of solving problems, but it is always a last resort. Solving the problem simply and crudely can be done at home, because it is a local war. But in Batavia, how much effort does it take to bring in troops? Chen Xie is enough to run and lie down, and it is really sinful to sail away. When I met the storm, I almost hung up.

It is unrealistic to occupy all of these colonies in Southeast Asia, especially since the Dutch are still very strong now, but they are too scattered, and if they focus on Asia, it will be a big trouble for Chen Xie's plan. In that case, why not negotiate? The Dutch ceded Java and retreated to the colony of Borneo, as the survival of another power, which could balance the power of the whole of Southeast Asia. In that place in Borneo, it is enough to occupy one Brunei, and with the current maritime strength of the Ming Dynasty, it will really be able to hold on. Chen Xie is a very greedy person, but the meal in front of him is too rich, and it can't be cheap Britain.

Therefore, let's pretend to be bewitched by the female color and generously give the Dutch a way out.

Thinking of this, Chen Xie turned around and returned to the courtyard fenced with canvas, and the red lady stood there with a group of women to greet him, Chen Xie was stunned after just looking at it. This woman is really a good means, it will only be a while, and Ava will clean it up for her. The skirts of the Europeans were also changed to the military uniforms of the Dengzhou battalion, and the stupid girl standing there still had a snickering smile on her face. I really don't know what she's happy about, she keeps touching this and there, touching there, is this dress so good? There's no need for this type to look like this, right?

"I have to find a tailor to make her a Ming woman's costume when I go back, and I will still wear the master's military uniform, the kind of clothes that show my chest and breasts, I really don't dare to wear it anymore, so that people can look at it, and I can't live." The red lady came up with a report, Chen Xie was in a cold sweat, this is a European, it's okay for you to let her wear Daming's clothes, do you have to correct her living habits? Like a Ming woman, Chen Xie really doesn't like the habit of staying at home all day.

"I asked you to show her around, how did you get her like this? That's a lot to do! Chen Xie said something not very satisfied for the first time, but the red lady was very clever and noticed it, and asked in surprise: "What, not sisters?" ”

Chen Xie crooked his mouth and said: "She has her role, so don't change her." I don't want her to become a woman who is also a Ming in her bones. I hope you can understand my hope for you, women are not born to be weak. ”

Chen Xie changed the things in his bones very much, and he could only encourage the red lady to do something. Some things always have to be done bit by bit, and the truth may not be effective when you say it, and others may not be able to accept it, so it is better to do it first.

Ava was overjoyed when she left, and she had a hairpin on her head, and she refused to take it off. There is an extra ladies' watch on her wrist, which is a meeting gift from the red lady to her, and other North Korean women have also given some women's jewelry. European women don't know much about the backyard relationship of the Ming Dynasty, and they simply feel that they are popular, but they don't know that they are treated as sisters by these women, regardless of whether they will become new favorites or not, it is necessary to have a good relationship.

As an occupier, Chen Xie still has a lot of things to deal with. The first is the demarcation of urban areas, which is very targeted to limit the scope of activities of local indigenous people. Chen Xie can be polite to the Dutch, but he doesn't give face to the natives at all. Historically, in this part of Java, there have been many anti-Chinese bloodsheds.

There are a lot of things, and Chen Xie can't stay here for too long, so many things must be settled as much as possible. First there was the establishment of military institutions and administrative bodies, and now it is the Military Management Council that is in charge. This is a transitional body, Chen Xie is currently leading, and Lin Ya, as a deputy, will stay as the governor in the future. Chen Xie's tone is, in principle, a situation in which military and administrative organs do not interfere with each other. The military structure is divided into 6 garrisons and maritime garrisons, and the garrison command and the naval Javanese fleet are formed. Lin Ya also served as the commander of the garrison, and the garrison was the strength of a battalion. Antony remained as commander of the detachment and in principle was at the disposal of the governor. The naval detachment consisted of five tripolar warships, fifteen fourth-class warships, and ten flying clippers.

Once the tone is set, it's time for personnel and preparations. After the end of military administration, local affairs have to be handed over to the administrative agencies, so that a city's law enforcement agency is needed. Chen Xie was too lazy to use his brains, so he directly set up a police station and an urban management bureau, and the personnel were selected from the local Chinese and Europeans who chose to stay, and they were trained and then hired. Administratively, there is a city government and a city council, and the members are elected, but there is a premise that every government department has a military representative. As for this military representative, how long it will be kept, depending on the situation.

After the general framework was ready, the text was written, and the time was already dusk. The three big surnames have already sent someone to invite, Chen Xie just cleaned up and went out, didn't bring the red lady, and went alone. The carriage was contributed by Governor John, escorted by a guard of fifty men, to the Chinese settlement. This area is obviously different from other areas, with bustling business and many shops. Unlike the areas inhabited by Europeans, it is obviously more deserted, which shows that the Chinese are good at management.

The Li family is the largest family in the local area, and the residence is also a huge courtyard, and there is such a large courtyard in the city, which shows that even the Dutch must be polite to the Li family, and have limited cooperation. The Dutch in this period were not so bold, after all, Daming did not show any weakness. It was not until the time of my Qing Dynasty that the Dutch began to see through the weak nature of the Celestial Empire and began to use the local natives to shear sheep.

There is a saying that why overseas Chinese are repeatedly humiliated, because no one will speak for them. There are many historical reasons for this, but there is one fundamental reason that cannot be wrong, that is, the motherland is too weak. The Qing Dynasty basically inherited the Ming Dynasty's policy of closing the country to the outside world, which was also a reason for the centrifugation of overseas Chinese. Even so, during the Anti-Japanese War, overseas Chinese also served the motherland one after another. Later, some problems that arose because of ideology will not be discussed here.

Waiting at the door was a group of old men, and when Chen Xie appeared at the door in a military uniform, firecrackers rang out, and gongs and drums were also noisy. After some tossing, Chen Xie stepped forward to speak, greeted him for a while, and was invited into the door. When entering the gate of the main house, the two girls squatted in front of them to change Chen Xie's shoes, this Chen Xie didn't expect that he would take a shower when he went out, otherwise he would really be evil.

Naturally, there is no place for women at the banquet, a group of old guys accompany the guests, and the wine and food are naturally trying their best to do their best, and there are more than ten girls during the banquet, all of whom are carefully selected to serve. After three rounds of drinking, Li Clanzhong spoke: "My lord, the grass people have something unclear, please ask your lord to solve your doubts." Chen Xie smiled: "Please speak." ”

"It has been more than 100 years since my generation crossed the ocean to make a living here. The foundation created by hard work is not easy, and after the Ganlasi people came, they were extremely domineering, relying on their military strength to oppress our Chinese Miao descendants, and they have suffered a lot of sins over the years. Now that Wang Shi is finally here, why do you still tolerate these rats? Could it be that there will be no one to come to the Ming Dynasty? No matter how bad it is, we are willing to do our part for Daming. The meaning of these words is very clear, revenge, power.

Chen Xie thought for a while and replied with a smile: "First of all, I want to explain one thing, Gan Lasi, that is, the Kingdom of the Netherlands lost in the battle with the Ming Dynasty, but everyone must also understand how difficult it is for the Ming Dynasty to go on an expedition, everyone actually knows better than me." Secondly, the matter of accommodating the Dutch is not as simple as you say. The superior people who had been powerful in Batavia before would not choose to stay, they could change places and continue to be their masters. The last thing I want to say is that the so-called Dutch high society is gone, and the space they left behind, will you not be able to see it? Finally, I would like to talk about hope, and I hope that everyone will have a sense of ownership and not simply rely on the army of the imperial court. Anything, you have to rely on yourself first. In the future, Batavia will have a city government and a council, and this city will be the home of you pioneers in reclamation. How you build and how you protect your own interests depends on you. And the imperial court can only provide some help within its capacity. ”

"What? Is Master Wang leaving? Now everyone else's faces have changed, and everyone has suffered too much. finally turned over and became the master, how could he be willing to lose it like this?

"You are mistaken, it is impossible to withdraw troops. Since the army of the Ming Dynasty is here, it will not leave. What I mean by this is that in the future, the management of this city will depend on yourselves. Under the city government, a police station and an urban management bureau should be built, specifically only, and the other is to maintain law and order and crack down on crime. One is to maintain the construction and sanitation of the city. There are other functions that are up to you and those who are willing to stay and build and defend Batavia together. ”r1152
