Chapter 271: The Post-War Situation (I)

The indigenous uprisings in Jakarta were sudden, and they subsided quickly, and the fighting in the city had largely subsided around midnight, with only sporadic resistance in some alleys and houses. Although there are still many local indigenous tribes who have gathered outside the city to support, they are densely packed at a glance, at least nearly 10,000. However, most of the weapons of these natives were earthy muskets and earthen cannons, which naturally could not be compared with the weapons purchased by the Chinese merchants in the city from Western trading houses and the artillery erected by foreigners on the city walls. The natives did not even break through the city gate after several hours of repeated sieges, but only left a pile of corpses at the foot of the wall outside the city, and the blood that came out of the corpses gradually formed a blood-colored moat.

The number of Chinese merchants was far smaller than that of the local indigenous Chinese merchants, and the reason why they were able to quell the riots so quickly was that the cultivators played a pivotal role. Guan Poming cast spells on those secular people without scruples, killing the main force of the natives in the city on a large scale, and Guan Zheng used his advantage to kill the leaders of those battle groups purposefully, causing the enemy to collapse quickly. Their role to their grandchildren is the greatest in the eyes of Chinese businessmen, not to mention the crucial battle between Chinese businessmen and local natives on the Jakarta dock, and even in the subsequent dangerous battles such as the offensive and defensive battles in the shopping area, the two of them broke the deadlock. So much so that after the battle, the local Chinese businessmen regarded the two of them as immortals, and even more thought that they were the descendants of Emperor Guan Shengjun, so they honored Guan Poming as Tianzun and Guan Zheng as the immortal monarch, and wanted to build a temple for the two.

Compared with the two grandsons of the Guan family, Luo Xuan, the leader of the Spirit Sect, was more practical and tactful. He himself did not take direct action, but asked the believers and mages in the surrounding sects who felt it in time to rescue those well-known Chinese merchants who were trapped in the center of the city. These Chinese businessmen are all well-known families in the local area, and their status is extremely high, and they can directly or indirectly influence people at all levels in Southeast Asia. When they were escorted to a safe place one by one, and after knowing who the person who rescued them was, they expressed their willingness to support Luo Xuan's mission, and some of the elderly with extremely high family status also turned to spiritual religion. It is foreseeable that in the next few years, the power of the Spiritual Sect will expand exponentially in Southeast Asia, and eventually become a major religious sect in Southeast Asia. In a way, perhaps Luo Xuan's Spirit Sect was the biggest beneficiary of this riot.

After the man in black fled, Xu Changqing stayed in the governor's palace and did not directly intervene in the battle outside. The so-called ignorant are fearless, compared to Guan Poming and others, Xu Changqing's Dao Heart cultivation has penetrated the heavens and the earth, and it is not much worse than those 6 Earth Immortals who have refined the Yuan Shen and are about to ascend, so he knows better the reasons for the Heavenly Dao Tribulation and its terrible process, so he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous. Although he did not intervene directly, he still played a cautious eye, borrowing the power of the soul bell to affect the hearts of all the people in the city, the Chinese became more and more courageous, and the local natives lost their fighting spirit, subtly manipulating the trend of the situation in the city.

"These foreigners must have a conspiracy!" In a conference room in the Governor's Palace, several high-ranking old men among the Chinese businessmen sat with Guan Poming, Xu Changqing and others, and one of the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce suddenly said, "

The main reason why this man said this is because the garrison of foreigners on Java Island today is really strange. The base of the British, French and other foreign forces on the island of Java is not far from Jakarta City, and it only takes an hour and a half to reach Jakarta City by fast march or boat. However, by the time the coalition forces arrived, the fighting had been over in the city of Jakarta for more than an hour, with a gap of nearly 10 hours between the beginning of the riots and the eventual subsidence. With such plenty of time, not to mention a strong soldier, even an old man should have climbed a long time ago. Therefore, the support method of the foreigner coalition army rushing over in time gives people the feeling that they are here to clean up the mess.

After the arrival of the foreign coalition, a large number of local natives gathered outside Jakarta. If at this time, the Chinese merchant army and the foreign alliance army came to attack inside and outside, and these natives could be completely annihilated. Although it cannot be said that the indigenous people of Java will be exterminated, it is impossible for them to recover for at least a decade or even decades. But when the Chinese merchants sent people to contact the foreign coalition army, the foreign alliance army had already begun to blindly attack the natives outside the city. Although it seems that the attack of the coalition forces is huge, in fact, the local natives have suffered only a small number of casualties, and most of them have safely retreated into the jungle, and most of the natives are still preserved.

After dispersing the local natives, the foreign coalition did not enter the city, only stayed outside the city for a while, and asked the Chinese merchants to hand over thousands of indigenous prisoners, and then executed all these thousands of people on the flat land at the city gate under the pretext of aborigines burning and killing foreigners. Immediately afterwards, the generals of the foreign coalition and the provisional governor praised the role of the Chinese merchants in quelling the rebellion at the execution ground covered with corpses, and said that the city of Jakarta would be handed over to the Chinese merchants as a reward for them. When the representatives of the Chinese merchants received the letter of appointment from the provisional governor, they could clearly feel the hateful gaze from the depths of the jungle, and they knew in their hearts that from this moment on, the enmity between the Chinese merchants and the local natives could no longer be resolved.

After that, the foreigner alliance behaved even more strangely, and they hurriedly retreated back to the base without asking about the casualties of the foreigners in the city. The representative of the Chamber of Commerce, who had already sensed that something was wrong, hurriedly sent people to investigate the identities of the foreigners who died in the riots, and learned that those foreigners were all European peasants with extremely low status, and there were some criminals among them, and there was no foreigner who really had status. It was only then that all the Chinese chambers of commerce felt as if they had fallen into an elaborate trap. So they turned to Guan Po for a plan, hoping that this fairy-like figure could come up with a countermeasure.

"Nonsense, now everyone knows that foreigners have a conspiracy," the old man sitting next to Guan Poming seemed to be a little at odds with the president of the Chamber of Commerce who spoke just now, and mocked without hesitation, then turned around, and saluted Guan Poming with a pious expression: "Guan Tianzun has vast magical powers, so he can naturally see through the minds of those foreign devils, and I hope that Tianzun can be benevolent and benevolent, and think of a countermeasure for us and other ordinary people to relieve our suffering." ”

"This ......" Guan Po Ming looked embarrassed, not knowing how to answer. If he wanted to ask about all kinds of miscellaneous spells, he would be able to tell that he was ugly, but it was a little difficult for him to solve this kind of worldly power struggle.

Compared with Guan Po's life, Guan Zheng is even worse, speculating on his thoughts, planning and designing things are obviously contrary to his righteous nature. Although Lingjiao Luo Xuan also wanted to help the Chinese businessmen come up with a solution to expand his influence, he was best at preaching, and the others were a little behind, and he couldn't think of a good way, plus he had some scruples about controlling the foreigners in the entire Southeast Asia, so he was also silent.
