"Rush! Kill all those Chinese and take back the wealth that belongs to us! Some of the natives who had arranged for Dareh took the opportunity to yell in the crowd. Many natives who did not know the truth were also agitated. For a time, the crowd was excited.
"Fellow citizens! Follow me! Darley yelled. A triumphant smile already appeared on his face. Looking at the Indonesian natives who were agitated, he knew that this time they had won! As long as there is a lot of noise here, more and more indigenous people will join it. Don't say that all the hundreds of thousands of natives in Batavia have joined, as long as one-third of the natives participate in this riot, then these Chinese in Batavia will die! The thought that all the wealth in the hands of the Chinese would be owned by them made Darley very excited.
"Kill!" The natives yelled and rushed into the Chinese-populated neighborhood, kicking open the door and rushing in to grab something. At this moment, these natives have completely lost their humanity, and the beast factor in their bones has been completely stimulated.
As early as when these natives began to assemble, the Chinese began to withdraw to the consulate as soon as they saw that the big thing was wrong. Everyone only had time to pack up, and other large items were too late to take away. However, there is no way to do it now, and if you don't leave, you will lose even your life. Money is something outside the body, as long as people are there, through hard work, money can always be earned back.
"Ahh That's a lot of money here! "A native opened the cash box of a ready-to-wear store, and it contained a few hundred guilders that the owner had not had time to take away. The exchange rate between the guilder and the pound sterling. It's roughly 12 to 1, with 12 guilders to one pound. Defeating the guilder is only a few dozen pounds. But. That's a lot of money for these impoverished natives. The native took the money out and put it in his pocket. However, it was seen by other natives.
"Boy, do you want to be alone?" The natives immediately began to fight. Everyone mingled in this small ready-to-wear store.
These natives are like locusts. Storm into Chinese shops and loot property belonging to Chinese people. All kinds of food, clothing, and use were all removed by these natives. One by one the natives were elated. It's like it's the New Year. They can't even afford to eat, how can they afford these things! Well, now that they can grab these things, they will be theirs!
Dareh stood in the street. Watch these natives happily empty the shops of the Chinese. A smile on his face. He knew that as long as these natives took advantage, more and more natives would join them. When the time comes, the scale of the riots will grow larger. And the harvest they get after the last is more and more. For these ordinary belongings, Darei is not eye-catching. He knew that the Chinese had taken away valuable things. Now, most of the Chinese are concentrated in the consulate and port of Xinhuaguo. There. There are consulate guards guarding it, and more people have to be organized. It was possible to capture the consulate of Xinhuaguo. When the time comes, those riches will be enough for him to become a rich man, and he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life!
Sure enough, when more and more natives brought home the belongings from the Chinese shop, the rest of the natives were red-eyed, and more and more natives joined in. These natives usually live a hard life, and now they can make a windfall, where will they let go of such an opportunity. As for whether this behavior is immoral or illegal, they don't care so much.
"Fellow citizens! The Chinese have transferred a lot of their wealth away! I saw with my own eyes that they moved most of their wealth to the consulate! Don't let those damn Chinese take all their possessions away! Rush with me! Storm the consulate and grab the riches! Seeing that the number of natives gathered was almost the same, Darley immediately began to agitate again.
Many natives who were moving the belongings of the Chinese shops stopped one after another. When they robbed the property, none of the Chinese came out to stop them. This undoubtedly proves that the Chinese have voluntarily given up these belongings. Then, it is conceivable that the Chinese must have taken more of their belongings with them. So, the Chinese put down their things and followed Darei to the Xinhua consulate in Batavia. If they can grab those gold, silver and jewelry, it will be much more cost-effective than the food they have moved!
The Xinhua Embassy in Batavia has already gathered a large number of old and weak women and children who have not had time to board the ship and leave. The rest of the young men gathered around the embassy, ready to protect this place and their families. There was only one platoon of the guards involved, and with the weapons they had stored before, only a hundred people were armed with rifles. The rest of the Chinese are all cold weapons such as broadswords and spears.
"Your Excellency! The natives are coming at us! A young Chinese reported to Fang Minghong, the consul of Xinhuaguo in Batavia!
"Hmm!" Fang Minghong nodded, his face grim. He knew that these natives were still provoked by the Dutch. It's just that the time left for them to react is too short to transfer all the Chinese here.
"Fellow citizens! Those Indonesian monkeys are coming! They want to kill us, rob us of our wealth, and insult our women! As long as it's a bloody person, a big man with a handle, take up arms for me, defeat those damn Indonesian monkeys, and protect our families! Fang Minghong shouted loudly. Now, only by finding a way to stimulate everyone's morale, and only by fighting can there be hope, otherwise, everyone will only have a dead end. Although the Chinese are kind-hearted, they will still fight when their lives are threatened.
"That's right, the consul is right! Those damned natives, who want to rob us of our hard-earned wealth and insult our women, we have to fight with them! Some Chinese chimed in. The fighting spirit of other Chinese people was also slowly stimulated.
"Compatriots, I assure you that we will definitely survive this calamity! I've sent someone to ask for help from home! Our navy is currently operating in the Java Sea. If we find them, they will come to our rescue! I'm sure they're on their way! As long as we defeat these natives, we will be saved! Consul Fang Minghong said to everyone. Although, he wasn't sure if anyone would come to their rescue. However, giving everyone hope will give everyone the motivation to persevere.
The two streets leading to the consulate were barricaded, and the consulate's guards, armed with the Chinese, stood guard at the barricades, ready to stop the Indonesian natives.
The Dutch Indonesian Governor's Palace is not far from the consulate, and the straight-line distance is only three kilometers. On a tall building in the Governor's Palace, the Viceroy of Indonesia, the Dutch Governor of Indonesia, Jacques Brown. Dominica is using a telescope to look around the Xinhua consulate in Batavia. Seeing those natives rushing towards the Xinhua Consulate like a tide, a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Damn yellow-skinned monkeys, it's time for you to pay this time!" Jacques. The Governor of Dominica had a hideous face. He seems to think that by encouraging the indigenous Indonesians to attack the Chinese, the Dutch could be plucked out of it. However, his point of view seems to be too taken for granted. Long Yufei, the king of Xinhua, is not a person who plays cards according to common sense.
"Stop moving! This is the Xinhua Consulate in Batavia! If you go any further, we'll shoot! Lu Feng, the captain of the Xinhua Consulate in Batavia, shouted loudly at the Indonesian natives.
It's just that the minds of those Indonesian natives are already completely the property of the Chinese, and they completely ignore Lu Feng's warning!
"Fellow citizens! Come on! There are too few of those Chinese, rush in and we'll win! Darley hid in the crowd and continued to agitate the natives. As a high-ranking indigenous person, he knew the power of the muskets of the Daoist Chinese.
"Rush!" The natives began to storm the barricades.
"Fire!" Lu Feng ordered to fire as soon as possible!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! The crisp sound of rifles rang out, and the natives who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another. The rest of the natives, seeing this sobriety, also stopped in fright.
The soldiers of the consulate guard did not stop, and continued to fire, shooting these Indonesian natives. Now, these Indonesian natives are their enemies, and only by killing them all will they be safe, and so many Chinese compatriots will be safe and sound.
"Run! The muskets of the Chinese are too powerful! After dozens of people died, the unorganized natives scattered and fled, so angry that Dare ran and jumped like thunder.
At the same time, there was also Jacques who directed this good scene. Governor of Dominica.
"Those damned natives, since they were repelled by dozens of people, it's a shame! However, the muskets of those Chinese were indeed powerful, more powerful than the rifles of the Royal Dutch Army troops. After the natives get rid of these Chinese, they will find a way to get a few rifles and return to China. In that case, soon we will have equally advanced rifles! "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica thought secretly.
"Come back! Give me all back! There are only a few dozen of those Chinese! "Darley is starting to reorganize the natives. The natives who had fled were finally organized by him again and launched a new attack.
In order to survive and protect their families, the Chinese in Batavia, under the organization of the Xinhua Consulate in Batavia, launched a fierce struggle! (To be continued......)
