656 [A Lot of Traitors]

The reason why Li Dingguo was transferred south was because most of the soldiers in his division were from Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong.

Whether it is the adaptation to the southern climate, or the reclamation of migratory families, it is more convenient and secure.

Two months after the end of the township test, the typhoon passed along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang. The families of the first batch of soldiers, totaling more than 3,000 people, came to the middle ground between Zhuluo and Tainan. And the government fulfilled its promise to bring in hundreds of cattle alone, all of which settled in the fertile alluvial belt of rivers.

10,000 soldiers, more than 3,000 military families, so many people migrated over, and soon attracted the attention of the Dutch.

Historically, the governor of Taiwan, who was driven away by Zheng Chenggong, was still the head of the merchant house in Nagasaki, Japan. The current governor of Taiwan is called Felberg, who has no illustrious background, and started as a small clerk of the East India Company, and stayed up for more than ten years before being sent to govern Taiwan.

Tainan, Xingang.

Fairberg was presiding over the democratic assembly, which was attended by Indigenous leaders, a total of 180

Many people, they represent more than 50,000 indigenous people. A few years ago, the leaders of the conference were in their early 200s.

represents more than 60,000 indigenous people. continue to develop, and the number of leaders attending the meeting will be reduced.

In the end, it only represents more than 40,000 indigenous people.

Where did the vanishing chieftains and natives go?

Kill!

According to historical records, from the first congress held in the Netherlands to the tenth congress,

Tainan's aboriginal population has plummeted by 20,000.

Which tribe will send troops if they are not obedient, and they will specially choose to carry out massacres after the autumn harvest and grab food at the same time.

What's even more disgusting is that the missionaries also ran out to sing white faces. Dozens of schools have been built in Tainan, each with only one missionary as a teacher. He taught nothing more than the Bible, rewarded the aboriginal children with good learning, and even occasionally went into the mountains to heal the aborigines.

At this moment, beside Governor Fairberg, there were several whole rows of soldiers.

In the beginning, the governor had only two soldiers with him, and he had been assassinated during a meeting, but now the meeting was like a war.

"The Madou Society is very good, they have made outstanding contributions, and they have handed in the grain in full for two consecutive years," Fairberg smiled, "Now, on behalf of the great Dutch Republic, I give the head of the Madou Society a silver crown and a scepter!" “

The silver crown, of course, is not pure silver, and the main body of the scepter is also wood.

The leader of the Madou Club is a young man, about thirty years old, and he is very proud to come to the stage to accept the award.

"Thank you for your contribution to the company," said Felberg. “

The indigenous youth knelt down on one knee, and Fairberg himself placed a silver crown on him, and then gave him a scepter.

The other indigenous leaders in the audience were envious and angry. But none dared to resist, but according to the request of the Dutch, they collectively applauded and congratulated

Madou Society is a large tribe with a population of more than 4,000 when the Dutch first arrived. Now there are only 3,000 left, a quarter of the population is gone, and even the chiefs have been replaced by two.

After a pretentious reward, Fairberg's face changed abruptly: "There is a reward, there is a punishment." The three tribes that most disobeyed the company's policy, each tribe, were fined ten deerskins. It must be turned in within this year, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind! ”

The three tribal leaders suddenly frowned.

And the tribal leaders in their vicinity, some of whom were gloating, had apparently been tamed by the Dutch.

The meeting was adjourned, and Felberg returned to his mansion.

Dankel, the commander of the Taiwan Army in the Netherlands, had been waiting for a long time, and when they met, he said:

"Your Excellency the Governor, the soldiers sent out have come back to report that many people have come from the north, and many of them are soldiers. As for how many there were, our soldiers did not dare to get too close,

I can't ask clearly. But there are definitely more than 2000 Chinese there. “

Fairberg took his pipe in his mouth and frowned: "If there is a Chinese army, don't go there to collect grain anymore." There are many soldiers everywhere to be on guard, and I am worried that China will send troops. “

Denkel asked, "Do you want to write to Batavia and ask the governor of Batavia to send reinforcements?" ”

Fairberg sighed: "I will write, but no one can say whether Batavia will be reinforced or not." Even if they come, they will not fight for half a year, they will choose to go back, because they can save the cost of the garrison. “

The Dutch, who are in Taiwan, have been doing multi-corner trade.

Spices, amber, cotton, and opium were imported from Nanyang, silver was imported from Japan, and silk, porcelain, medicinal herbs, cotton cloth, and gold were imported from China, all of which passed through Taiwan. At the same time, it also exported sugar, deerskin, venison, and various Southeast Asian specialties to China and Japan.

Zhao Han is banning gold exports and artificially raising the price of gold, but with little success.

Because of the comparison of gold and silver in China, compared with the gold and silver in Europe, there is a very large profit margin. Therefore, the Chinese merchants joined forces with the Dutch and constantly exchanged gold and silver to earn the difference.

Sending Dankel away, Felberg began to write letters to Batavia. He said that at least 5,000 Chinese troops had come to Taiwan, and that Chen Bing was on the border of the Dutch colony and could fight at any time, and asked for immediate reinforcements from the navy and army.

By the time I had written this letter, it was already getting dark.

In Shimei Village, on the outskirts of Chiji City, the village elder Guo Huaiyi is inviting an incident.

This village elder is not old, he has just turned 40 years old. His hometown is in Quanzhou, and he went to the sea to make a living when he was a teenager, became a landlord in Taiwan, became rich by planting sugarcane, rice, and ramie, and also opened his own sugar mill.

Guo Huaiyi said: "The red-haired ghosts are all robbers, and their castle was built with the help of our Han people. After gaining a firm foothold, he turned his face and did not recognize people. This kind of tax, that kind of payment, every year there are new tricks, and now even the killing of pigs for the New Year has to pay taxes. The red-haired ghost encouraged us to plant sugar cane, and when the sugar cane was planted everywhere, we were not allowed to squeeze sugar by ourselves, and even boiled brown sugar at home, and if we were caught, we would be fined. “

Guo Huai said together: "My sugar mill is closed, it's nothing." But those red-haired ghosts are not allowed to sell sugarcane privately, they can only sell it to them, and the price is so low that they can't make any money at all. Brother Hualong, how much sugarcane have you planted this year? ”

Wu Hualong said: "Dozens of acres. “

"Do you feel good about the red-haired ghost who lowers the price like that?" Guo Huaiyi asked.

Wu Hualong slapped the table angrily: "It's so uncomfortable, I'll be a dog when I plant sugarcane next year!" “

Guo Huai asked again and again: "What do you grow without sugarcane?" Growing ramie? Growing food? What is not underpriced? ”

Wu Hualong scolded: "The red-haired ghost who entered the dog! “

Guo Huaiyi said to the other landlords: "All the brothers here have been stripped of red hair, and if they continue like this, sooner or later they will be forced to die." Both horizontally and vertically are dead, so it's better to get together and fight with the red hair. "

Wu Hualong was the first to respond: "Brother Guo, you are a good man, I listen to you." More than 10 years ago, red-haired ghosts encouraged farming, and there were rewards for planting well. We all worked hard to reclaim, and one by one we became landlords. I didn't think about it, the red-haired ghost raised us as pigs, and now we want to kill pigs and bleed after fattening! “

The landlord Lin Futian also said: "Then work hard with the red hair, count me as one!" “

One after another, all of them were landlords in Tainan, but there were no small farmers and tenants.

Of course, the life of the small farmers is even worse, and they will definitely respond.

Historically, Guo Huaiyi launched an uprising, and the army quickly grew to 16,000 people, and eighty percent of the Han people in the vicinity spontaneously joined, and even women and children took up arms. At one point, they captured the city of Chichi, which was suppressed by the Dutch with native armies.

The Dutch army involved in the suppression consisted of only 120 men, while the native servant army numbered 2,000

Many.

Xingang, Madou, Xiao Langmu, and Jiayanwan, the aborigines of these four places were once bloodily slaughtered by the Dutch, but now they are willing to be dogs for the Dutch.

Guo Huaiyi said: "Let me tell you the news, His Majesty the Emperor has learned that we have been bullied and has sent troops over. said let's wait for next year to start again, but this can't wait.

Gotta send someone to get in touch. I asked Guo Blind to count the auspicious days of the zodiac, Brother Guo, you come.

"On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, Yixing soldiers," Guo Blind, a one-eyed dragon, said, "The slogan of our uprising is called September 9, kill the red hair!" “

Wu Hualong clapped his hands and said: "September 9, kill the red hair, this slogan is loud!" “

Liu Mengzhou suddenly asked, "But the Emperor of the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty has sent troops?" ”

Guo Huaiyi was speechless for a moment: "Hey, Brother Liu, what year is your old yellow calendar?" Not to mention the Emperor of the Apocalypse, even Lord Chongzhen is gone. Now it is the new dynasty of Datong, the first emperor of the people of Nanjing. “

"What emperor? It's not a nice name. Liu Mengzhou complained.

Guo Huaiyi explained: "The first emperor of the people, the people are the people, and the people will be the masters in the future." “

Liu Mengzhou said with a smile: "I don't read much, how can the people be the masters?" It's not the official's final say. ”

Guo Huaiyi said: "Alas, I won't talk nonsense with you. After drinking tonight, tomorrow they will go back in tandem, and the fathers and elders of more than a dozen villages within a radius will all be called! Tell them, September 9, kill the red hair. "

This group of landlords, full of enthusiasm and drunkenness, went home separately.

Guo Huaiyi's brother Guo Baocheng ran to Chichicheng overnight and leaked secrets to the Dutch officials there. He felt that his brother's rebellion could not succeed, and the Chinese emperor sent troops to be a fool, so it was better to be a traitor and gain the appreciation of the Dutch, and by the way, he could inherit the property by killing his brother.

When the governor of Taiwan, Felberg, learned the news at noon the next day, he did not intend to arrest them immediately, but said: "Don't alarm the rebels, they rebelled on September 9 in China, we have quietly and secretly gathered troops, and we must put all the rebels to death."

Also, don't publicize it to the outside world, don't tell the natives, those scholars don't know how to keep it secret.

Guo Baocheng's leak was soon discovered, because after this goods became a traitor, he did not return to the village immediately, but took the reward money to prostitute in Chiji City for two nights.

Guo Huaiyi hurriedly summoned the leader of the uprising: "The news has leaked, we must start in advance, and we must ask the emperor's army to come over to help." Go back and prepare, and send troops tomorrow! ”

That night, Guo Huaiyi's sworn brother Yang Zuocheng went to Chichicheng again to inform.

This thing originally wanted to rebel, but when the news leaked, he was immediately afraid, so he rebelled with a fever.

Zhao Han wanted to fight the Dutch again next year, but he sent the Datong army over, but Guo Huai was emboldened, and he couldn't wait to start it in advance.
