"The third issue is the rights and security of our Qing nationals in the colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Our Qing nationals should enjoy the same rights as nationals of other European countries. The Dutch government cannot prohibit associations, the use of the Chinese language, the publication of Chinese newspapers and publications, and the establishment of Chinese language schools, and at the same time to prevent the recurrence of such bloodshed, and to deter the indigenous mobs. At the same time, it is also necessary to maintain the security and stability of the Dutch colony. The Chinese must have a certain amount of legal armament. After saying the last few words, the honest Ding Ruchang also blushed a little.

"There is no need to be armed, and the Dutch government can protect the safety of the Chinese. Here, the Dutch army is the only group that legally has arms. The representative of the Netherlands flatly refused.

"Don't you think that in the face of the facts, your Excellency's statement is ridiculous and even shameless?" Luang Weili said angrily. "And the European expatriates can have weapons for self-defense here, why can't the Chinese? You are discriminating and insulting to the Qing Empire. ”

"Then what level of weapons do you think Qing expatriates should possess in order to be counted in the category of self-defense?" Faced with the ironclad facts, the representative of the Netherlands changed his tune.

"Our request is simple, our definition of a weapon of self-defense is a weapon that can be carried by manpower." Xu Jie said with a smile. "That is, the existing various army guns are not included. This is already a very low limit relative to the security situation in your country. ”

"So there are only rifles, pistols, and grenades?" The representative of the Netherlands asked.

"As I said, it is a weapon that can be carried by manpower, limited to guns and grenades." Xu Jie smiled weirdly. "If you can bite the manpower to carry these four words, mortars and lightweight machine guns should be counted, right?"

"We need you to draw up a clear list of weapons." The representative of the Netherlands said with some uneasiness. "And as far as I know, you dismantled the Maxine machine gun in this battle and carried it by manpower. The Chinese can't have this kind of weapon, right? ”

"In our view, the definition of self-defense is not only a traditional weapon such as a pistol, for example, a rifle is not considered a weapon of self-defense, but this time the rioters have a large number of rifles, and in order to defend themselves, and considering that the Chinese have less manpower, they must have relatively advanced weapons. Otherwise, the thugs will still be unscrupulous," Xu Jie explained.

"Then please make a definition of the so-called manpower transportation, can't 100 people be able to transport the parts of a cannon and count it as manpower transportation, right?" The representative of the Netherlands sneered.

"Naturally, we will give a reasonable definition, and our definition is that relying on manpower, five armed adult men can transport this weapon for more than 5KM. That's fair enough, isn't it? Xu Jie said with a smile. Xu Jie's setting is fully considered, this 5-person transport can completely include the lightweight heavy machine gun and the 82 mortar under development. Of course, these Dutchmen don't know.

"Then if the machine gun is lowered to this standard one day, will it also be considered a self-defense weapon?" The Dutchman asked.

"It depends on which designer can do it, first of all, one thing that can be determined is that if the Chinese can have such weapons, then the Dutch government can have better and more such weapons, and there will be no threat to the Dutch government, we are just to deal with the indigenous mobs. After all, the weapons in the hands of the natives were shocking this time. Xu Jie said.

"This needs to be studied by our weapons experts, and it is inconvenient to give you an answer immediately, so I propose to discuss the last question. On the question of the establishment of a consulate in the Dutch colony. The representative of the Netherlands thought for a moment and said.

"We will follow the practices and practices of European countries in setting up consulates in other countries. There will be no further requirements other than the provision of a small number of armed personnel to ensure the security of consular personnel and property. Ding Ruchang is very happy on this issue. It was so happy that the Dutch representatives, who had been suppressed, didn't believe their ears!! …,

"We are fully acceptable to this article, and we will discuss your other comments carefully. Your response will be given at the next meeting. The five-hour negotiation left the representative somewhat prostration, and the Dutch finally felt a glimmer of light.

Although there were many differences between the two sides in the first talks, under the diplomatic pressure of Britain and the military pressure of Beiyang, as well as considering the local economy and stability of the colony, in the subsequent negotiations, the Dutch still accepted the vast majority of the conditions, and finally paid 650,000 pounds of civil compensation, while the compensation of the Beiyang side amounted to 150,000 pounds. The results were also quite satisfactory with the arrest of the perpetrators and the punishment of those responsible, with the vast majority of leaders either killed for "resisting arrest" or being hanged after a court trial. The "coercions" were sent to Dutch and Chinese factories or plantations to make up for their sins. The Dutch governor and the main leaders of the army were dismissed from their posts and brought before the Dutch courts on charges of "negligence in management" and "dereliction of duty". Article 3 is basically accepted in its entirety, but as compensation, it stipulates that Chinese in the Dutch area are not allowed to carry weapons unless they are allowed to do so, and that rifles and pistols can be legally owned in the cities, but not in the countryside or in the wilderness. The fourth point is to accept it in its entirety, although the specific details need to be negotiated by specialized personnel.

Finally, in December 1889, this month-long turmoil finally came to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Batavia. Although the Dutch government made huge concessions to the Chinese, a considerable number of overseas Chinese who had gone through the bloody storm chose to leave the Netherlands to go to other parts of Southeast Asia or return to China, while most of them chose to go to Liangguang, Taiwan and Zhili after returning to China. There, Li Hongzhang's Huai system provided various supports for the development of their industry. Although it is inevitable that some people will be blackmailed, on the whole, the development situation is much better than in Nanyang, especially the industries related to the military industry and the textile industry, and the speed of development is even more astonishing, which lays a solid foundation for the economic development of the Huai territory, and at the same time reserves abundant resources for the outbreak of wars in the future. The devastation of Batavia and the departure of the Chinese as the mainstay of the economy caused the economy of the Dutch East Indies to collapse, and even in the two years of 1890 and 1891, the fiscal revenue was not as good as in 1889. And because the Netherlands chose to make the indigenous people as scapegoats in this case, it directly led to an irreparable rift between the local indigenous people and the Dutch government. As a result, it provides a broader space for the survival and development of the remaining Chinese.

As for the Beiyang and Guangdong sailors, they are the biggest beneficiaries of this incident. Not only did he receive the 2.4 million taels of silver raised by the Chinese for the cruise, but also nearly 1.6 million taels of additional income, of which not only 150,000 pounds in compensation, but also part of the remaining amount of civil compensation also flowed into the silver treasury of the Beiyang and Guangdong sailors, as for the final share, it was 3.5 million taels for Beiyang and 500,000 taels for Li Hanzhang. The funds from the reorganization will not only allow Beiyang Shun to complete the order of three new 5,000-ton cruisers, but also enable Beiyang to purchase new large armored cruisers. However, the biggest gain of Beiyang was the Tongguò incident, the alliance between Nanyang Chinese and overseas Chinese and Beiyang was formally established, Nanyang Chinese provided Beiyang with capital, technology and industrial support, and Beiyang provided it with market and force protection. The two sides are united by common interests.

By the way, there are also the British, and the British are not at a loss, at least knocking on the Dutch government, which in the ensuing Boer War did not have any influence on the British, either in public opinion or in action.
