New Shun 1730

The team that persuaded them to surrender returned to Batavia "disgraced".

Shi Shi used the excuse to denounce the people in the mountains in front of the Dutch as "having no laws, being stubborn, refusing to change, and dying of hunger, just like a mantis with its arms stretched out, and the heavenly soldiers must cross the sea and destroy them"!

Valknir felt secretly happy when he heard the translator interpreting these angry words. This is probably what is called standing up and talking without pain in the back. What I said at first about "officials forcing the people to rebel" has now damaged Dashun's face, so I have to say these words.

Seeing Dashun's attitude, Valkenir was relieved for the time being. As long as Dashun expresses his position and guarantees that he will not take the opportunity to cause trouble, this matter can be solved easily.

As long as you keep an eye on the British, don't send guns and artillery, and you can attack them slowly.

It is too late to organize troops now. As long as the immigration matters are taken care of first, those Chinese lack the opportunity to go north to find their compatriots to serve as soldiers. Even if the ruled area is allowed to rot for a period of time, it will take ten or eight years to wipe it out.

"Mr. Special Envoy, I have said long ago that these people are villains, criminals, people without any morals and shame. Now, you finally know their evil deeds, which will be good for our future cooperation. of."

"At the same time, I must solemnly inform you that the British are absolutely untrustworthy. They are best at inciting chaos and often engage in piracy. Please be sure to tell this to His Majesty the Great Emperor of your country."

Shi Shiyong secretly smiled in his heart, but put on a puzzled look on his face, and said hesitantly: "To be honest, Your Excellency the Governor...it is difficult for me to convey these words."

"When I was in Japan, I heard that the Portuguese accused you of being pirates, and you also accused the Portuguese of being pirates."

"After this dynasty was established, the Portuguese Catholic missionaries said that you were pirates and that you had massacred 300,000 to 400,000 people in Taiwan. The British said that the French were pirates, and the French said that the British were pirates. You also said The British are pirates, but the Swedes also say you are pirates..."

"This... really makes it difficult for me to say. After all, who is telling the truth?"

These words made Valkenir quite embarrassed. In fact, Shi Shiyong was right. They were all pirates and had piracy practices.

It's just that Japan is locked up, and the Netherlands relies on "Dutch Wind Storytelling" to control external information and can say whatever they want.

Dashun has already begun diplomacy. Countries exposing each other's background does no good to anyone, and there is really no way to convey it.

If the Dutch were conveyed, would France, Sweden, Denmark and other countries have anything good to say about the Netherlands?

There is no need to make up rumors. In fact, it is enough to retell what they really did.

After the embarrassment, fortunately, Valkenir was also a governor and his face was thick enough. This matter must be made clear.

It was not to affect Sino-British relations, but to characterize this Chinese uprising as a riot supported by the British behind the scenes. Only in this way could the whole incident be finalized and ensure that Dashun would not interfere.

Because, at this time, many things in the West can be used as excuses for war.

For example, the British Jenkins was obviously a pirate and smuggler. So if the Spaniards cut off his ears, was there any problem? But does this hinder the start of the war?

"Mr. Special Envoy, I still ask you to convey this matter. The British are a nation that cannot be trusted. This Chinese rebellion is not the 'fishing and killing of families' as you said, but a rebellion led by the British. The conspiracy of the envoy. I hope your country will not be deceived by others, or even spread rumors of massacre."

"In Taiwan, many people did not die in the massacre, but they voluntarily went to Batavia to make a living, doing work such as building walls and houses."

"It's just that the climate in Batavia was hot and humid at that time, diseases were rampant, and there were swamps everywhere, so the death rate was a little higher, leaving some bad memories. It was not us Dutch who killed them, but the climate here. ”

"You also know that the missionaries are Catholics, and it is normal for them to attack the Netherlands. But we and the British are both Protestants. We have no reason to attack the British for religious reasons, so what we say is the truth. ”

Shi Shiyong remained calm, thinking that no wonder people who had been officials in Fujian and Guangdong said that the Dutch were stingy, and that was indeed the case. Are you saying this to make me blush? With your awareness, you are still able to maintain trade, which is really a sign of your ability.

As for spreading the news... Shi Shiyong still knew whether the British were behind it.

He also knew what Valknir wanted, but he thought Valknir was a bit funny. It’s always easy to find excuses for China to go to war with other countries. Isn’t there any reason not to interfere with the Netherlands’ suppression of this Chinese uprising?

Thinking about what Liu Yu said before, people in the DPRK like wishful thinking, and when it comes to attacking Japan, he said that Japan also likes wishful thinking. In the end, everyone likes wishful thinking, and there is no difference.

The imperial court's purpose is to immigrate to Ceylon. The Chinese uprising has an army that can threaten Batavia. "Bandit".

Then he said: "What Your Excellency the Governor said seems to make some sense. Then I will report this matter to the emperor. However, these people are now gathering righteousness and flag-raising, will it delay the immigration and statistical tax matters?"

Valkenir hurriedly shook his head. Just as the Dashun court's first goal was to immigrate to Ceylon, Batavia's first goal was also to remove unemployed, potentially unemployed, and soon-to-be-unemployed Chinese.

Otherwise, if there is another uprising and this group of people go up Mount Gede together, it will be really huge and impossible to exterminate.

"Mr. Special Envoy, there are important and unimportant things, and there is a hierarchy. Immigration will not be affected in any way. This is the Batavia government's top priority this year. Please rest assured."

"Those rebels do not have enough weapons to threaten the cities along the northern coast. I will ask the soldiers to be on guard. They are unable to attack the castle."

Shi Shiyong said with all his heart, "Nonsense, of course I can rest assured. I don't believe you dare to send all your troops to encircle and suppress you at this time?"

The two parties reached an agreement, and at dawn the next day, the Chinese Kapitan Lei Zhenlan also hurriedly conveyed the order from the Governor's Office and lifted the ban on Chinese in the city.

The Chinese, who had been banned from taking to the streets for nearly ten days, finally opened their doors and no longer had to worry about being shot on land as "rebel supporters."

Immigration matters have nothing to do with them, they have residence permits.

During the more than ten days of continuous closure, they were a blessing in disguise, letting Batavia know the importance of these small Chinese citizens to Batavia.

During the more than ten days of closure, the entire Batavia almost came to a standstill: food, clothing, housing, transportation, hotels, vegetable vendors and butchers, brothels and casinos, fish markets and opium dens, and urine buckets and excrement trucks were almost all under the control of the Chinese.

It wasn't until the Chinese opened the door again that Batavia once again became a city instead of a lifeless fortress.

The prison in the city also opened its doors.

The poor and slave laborers who had been arrested without residence permits relied on their last bit of trust in the court at this time, and lined up at the gate of Batavia to receive money, apply for residence permits, and pay the poll tax.

Everyone who received the money would kneel on the ground and shout "Long Live the Emperor" before handing the money into the hands of the Dutch.

Say your name and get a residence permit from the Dutch official.

These people, who had been punished with hard labor, were the first batch of Chinese immigrants to Ceylon.

Like all slave markets, everyone was disinfected by pouring burning lime water on their bodies before boarding the ship, and then they lined up to board the ship to Ceylon.

The Chinese and idlers in the city chose to go to the pier to watch the excitement.

As for those who are doing business, they are all busy at this time. The closure of the business for more than ten days caused Batavia to shut down. It is the time for retaliatory consumption, and everyone is busy everywhere.

Next to a Chinese house in the city, a carpenter named Jorge Schwarz was carrying several bottles of sugar cane wine to visit his Chinese neighbors.

You can tell from the name that this is not a Dutchman, but probably a German, working as a carpenter in Batavia.

The neighbor's surname is Sun and he has lived here for a long time. The two families have a good relationship and often drink and eat together.

Schwartz didn't knock on the door. Just like usual, he called "Sun", opened the door and walked straight in.

Next to the toilet next to the yard is a pigsty, where two fat pigs are humming. The Chinese child surnamed Sun was throwing bundles of pigweed into a large pot in the yard, preparing to cook it and feed it to the pigs. When he saw Schwartz, he called out uncle as usual.

When the Chinese man surnamed Sun heard the cry, he came out with a smile and called his mother-in-law into the house to quickly cook some vegetables.

After leading Schwartz into the house, Schwartz placed the bottles of wine directly at the door as usual. The Chinese man surnamed Sun casually took out one of the bottles of wine as usual, opened it, and placed it on the table.

Soon, the woman who was cooking came in with the food, put it on the table, smiled at Schwartz, and naturally asked Schwartz about the situation outside the city these days. It was obvious that he was very familiar with it. Familiar.

A few plates of simple dishes and the wine brought by Schwarz. Schwartz knew the Chinese habits very well. He took a bowl from the table, put some dishes on it, called the children who could not come to the table to accompany the guests, handed the dishes in the bowl to the children, and touched their Head, let them eat more.

A very simple gathering of acquaintances, friends, and neighbors. Naturally, I drank too much.

We said some greetings, talked about some past events, thought about our future life, and got drunk.

Before leaving, the Chinese man surnamed Sun also said: "We will kill the pigs during the Chinese New Year. Then come over and I will prepare some good dishes. Let me tell you, this sausage tastes particularly good..."

Finally, he walked Schwarz out of the house in a leisurely manner. As he was leaving, Schwartz shouted: "Just be okay. Come to my house in a few days and I bought some kielbasa..."

Just like the most common story between neighbors and friends, after drinking, they go home, maybe they will meet again in a few days.

However, neither Schwartz nor the Chinese named Sun will ever know the story of another time and space.

In another time and space, or in the original history, Schwartz later recalled this.

[My neighbor, a Chinese, has a very good relationship with me and we often eat together. When the day of the slaughter came, our head carpenter pointed to the fat pigs in the neighbor’s pig pen and asked me if I wanted them. 】

[So I nodded. The head carpenter told me to kill the neighbor first and then rob the pig].

[So I picked up a rice pestle and beat to death my neighbor who used to eat and drink with me. I also beat to death his wife and children. He had a pistol at home, but he didn't dare to shoot. I took away the big fat pig. ]

[I took the pistol and rushed to the street, shooting and killing any Chinese I saw and robbing anything they had. ]

[After killing people, killing people became a habit. Killing Chinese was as easy as killing a dog. ]

[Merciful God, all the Chinese in the city, whether men, women, old or young, died under the sword. Even babies in swaddling clothes and pregnant women were not spared. ]

[People laughed and divided the Chinese's property, and hundreds of insurgents outside the city were captured and shackled. People laughed and stabbed their throats with knives like slaughtering sheep, and collected the blood in basins. ]
