Chapter 45: Soldier Speed
The sky gradually brightened and resounded. The gunfire of the night subsided.
For the living, this. I can't sleep at all.
When dawn broke, a large number of Chinese were allowed to walk out of the street, and outside Chinatown, there were corpses lying on the street, both men and women, and these corpses were holding various knives, which seemed to have been killed when they resisted last night.
It's just that this scene makes all the Chinese very puzzled, these Dutch East Indians who died on the streets, men, women and children, if some Dutch East Indians are indeed crazy and will take up arms to resist, but to say that all Dutch East Indians are resisting, it is completely impossible.
Most of the Dutch East Indians are actually very timid, and the perennial colonial career has made them accustomed to being ruled, and the resistance is only a small number of people, and they will not see so many as they see in front of them, and the streets are full of corpses.
However, no one said anything, and it was enough to see the knives in the hands of these Dutch East Indians.
Not far away, there seemed to be a bit of chaos on the street, and there were bold Chinese who walked out of Chinatown and walked towards the front.
Near the harbor is a group of ragged Dutch East Indian youths sweeping the streets and loading the bodies onto ox carts.
It can be seen that many Chinese who came over found these Dutch East Indians cleaning the streets, and the young laborers of the surrounding villages.
On both sides of the street, there were heavily armed soldiers, their faces could not be seen clearly in heavy camouflage, but their tall and straight bodies were very oppressive to those thin Dutch East Indians.
What happened to Jakarta to the bottom?
Who is this strangely dressed army?
With curiosity, many Chinese people crossed the corpses on the street and came to the port, which was all blocked at the moment, and outside the port, several huge warships were moored outside the port, and the hideous muzzles were always aimed at Jakarta.
The flag, which no one had ever seen, fluttered on the mast of the warship, and in the middle of the blue and white tones on the flag, a real dragon jumped out of the water and was domineering.
Before this, I had never seen such a flag, and this was not the navy of any country, because the national flag was not hoisted at all, only this real dragon flag showed its identity.
For every Chinese at this moment, the flag in front of them only has a strong sense of intimacy, as if they were born to be a member of the family.
And many Chinese also found that the soldiers on both sides of the street who were on guard and supervised also had a dragon flag logo on their armbands, but different from the blue and white tones on the warships, the flags on the armbands of these soldiers were mainly red and green, which seemed to be a jungle, and it seemed to be a sea of blood, and on it was a dragon head that seemed to fly out.
On the port, a group of soldiers escorted several people into Jakarta, and these curious Chinese looked at Li Daolin with surprise on their faces.
Li Daolin, who walked in the middle, surprised all the Chinese, but also completely reassured them.
When he came closer, Li Daolin nodded and greeted all his compatriots, and asked them all to follow back to Chinatown.
Soon the Chinese in Chinatown gathered again, watching Li Daolin enter the Li family ancestral hall under the escort of a group of soldiers, and the patriarchs of each family were also invited to enter the Li family ancestral hall.
"Did you hear that? The army outside is all Chinese, and they're here to avenge us. ”
"What's more, I just heard the children of the Li family say that this army is coming to drive out the Dutch."
"I also heard that Mr. Fan, who came to live in Chinatown a while ago, is the leader of this army."
"It's really unseemly, that Mr. Fan looks like he is only about twenty, he has strong ships and cannons, and so many subordinates."
"Look at their equipment, even the iron helmets on their heads, and all kinds of incomprehensible things on their bodies, they feel so tall, they look much more powerful than those Dutch soldiers."
"Those Dutch soldiers will bully the civilians, you look at these soldiers, they are as immobile as a mountain, and they are all powerful, obviously experienced in a hundred battles, no wonder the Dutch will be defeated so quickly."
……
In Chinatown, groups of Chinese people are discussing together, what news is passing in everyone's ears, and ten minutes ago, the Chinese who were not clear seem to have known the roots.
The news was deliberately passed on by Li Yishan, and when everyone was curious, this kind of message was the fastest and easiest for all compatriots to accept.
At the same time, in the Li ancestral hall, the main figures of the family gathered again.
Fan Yize sat on the main seat without giving in, his eyes swept over the patriarchs present, and said, "I believe that Mr. Li has already introduced my situation to you. ”
When everyone present heard this, they all nodded cautiously.
They are not Chinese outside, and they know better what this young man in front of them means.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Chinese, but it also makes them more cautious, and their ambitions are not in their old age, let alone in the face of a person who is about to open up a dynasty, how dare they look at Fan Yize with their youth.
And before this, they were only businessmen, and an hour ago, they didn't dare to have the idea of now, if it weren't for the fact that this young man had already shown enough strength, they wouldn't have had the courage to stand in this place at all.
"The situation in Jakarta has stabilized, last night the 1st Division under my command, with the cooperation of the navy, successfully occupied Jakarta, and controlled all the Dutch colonial institutions in Jakarta, and all the Dutch East Indies who resisted were also suppressed, so now Jakarta has been stabilized, and everything in Jakarta is now blocked, and the Dutch in other parts of the Dutch East Indies do not know the situation here."
Speaking of this, Fan Yize paused and continued: "Now that the soldiers are fast, my soldiers are ready outside Jakarta, and I need someone who is familiar with the roads and terrain to lead my troops and quickly capture all the strongholds of the Dutch on Java Island. ”
As soon as Fan Yize's words fell, the patriarchs exchanged their heads one after another, and soon someone spoke: "Mr. Fan, wait a minute, we will arrange the clansmen who are familiar with the situation immediately." ”
"Then without further ado, let's do it right away." Fan Yize stood up and said.
The patriarchs who originally wanted to be close to Fan Yize could only give up when they saw this, nodded one after another, and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
Soon, the patriarchs brought dozens of Chinese who were familiar with the situation in various regions, and Fan Yize, who was resolute and resolute, immediately asked soldiers to escort these people to temporary stations outside Jakarta.
In addition to the 1st Division, there are three infantry divisions of armed forces, which are preparing to set off outside Jakarta and are waiting for these guides.
