New Shun 1730

Regarding the land issue, Liu Yu was submissive at home, but struck hard in Nanyang.

Within Dashun, Liu Yu did not dare to touch the land issue at all, and Qi Qi could not touch it at all.

This is like a group of wolves dividing meat. Most of the officials are landlords. In this case, the interests of the landlords are affected. Even if Liu Yu thinks that he has lived too long, the emperor still wants to give it to Dashun for a few more years. .

The slogan at that time went from "equalizing land and freeing grain" at the beginning to "protecting the world". In the final analysis, Dashun compromised with the landlord class. So much so that there are a large number of homesteaders in North China, while the South still has a large landowner manor economy.

But in Nanyang, it's different.

Anyone with land interests in Nanyang can't even say anything in the court, and there is no spokesperson at all in the court.

The emperor wanted the benefits of Nanyang, not land tax and poll tax, but coffee, sugar, spices, etc., which he wanted to sell to Europe for money.

Therefore, North Korea and China should not discuss Batavia's land policy.

As long as land reform could be completed in areas such as West Java that took over from the Netherlands, Java's agricultural conditions would definitely bring sufficient benefits to the emperor's internal funds.

Farmers grow coffee and monopolize coffee sales channels with the imperial court. Of course, the imperial court makes the bulk of the money. This is a very simple truth.

The second-class Niu people are not people with lofty ideals, helping the poor in the world, and saving the people in the world, but everyone has pursuits.

In pursuit of promotion, in the so-called environment of not only being book-oriented, not being practical, but only being superior, Niu Er has no entangled interests in Java, and there are no complicated relationships there. As long as he knows "only superior", he will dare to take drastic measures. Do a few big votes.

Niu Er kept his last instructions firmly in mind.

I was also thinking about becoming the governor of Java. It seemed that I was 80% sure. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to do things like benevolent to the Chinese in Batavia.

"Your Highness, Marquis Jing, and my subordinates have all taken note of it. If the imperial court really appoints me as the false governor of Java, I will do my best to do a good job."

Liu Yu had told him before that he should do it with confidence and he would take care of it if anything happened. With such words, Niu Er felt even more relieved.

Early the next morning, the Guiyi Army still stayed in Bekasi to rest and take some time off, allowing them to spend some time in this small town. These people have been poor in the mountains for a long time, and they still have money but nowhere to spend it. Now that they have money, they have to spend it well.

They didn't think much about why the court wouldn't let them enter Batavia. Occasionally, someone mentioned the old hatred at the Cane Sugar Factory, and they thought that they had just been "recruited" by the court, so it was better to be honest for a while. If there is a chance in the future, I will take revenge.

The Guiyi Army took a temporary rest. The Marine Corps, which had hardly fought in Nanyang and seemed to be on an armed parade in Nanyang, was assembled outside Bekasi.

The stubborn Dutch in the city were only trapped in a few isolated forts, and did not expect to rely on this small force to defend the entire Batavia. Even though there are still fortresses that have not yet been captured, there is no obstacle to entering the city.

The neatly arranged team, playing war drums, slowly arrived at Batavia at a normal marching speed.

The Dutch at the city gate had withdrawn, and the citizens who had revolted in the city rushed all the way to the city gate and lined the streets to welcome them.

Liu Yu was preparing to deceive the court about the so-called "overseas survivors, when they heard that the soldiers from heaven were arriving, they all ate pots of wine to welcome the king's army", the scene finally appeared.

It's just that this appearance is really a bit dark.

Politics is dirty.

It has nothing to do with morality.

Therefore, in this dirty politics, you must not do such morally noble things as doing good deeds without leaving a name, guarding them silently, and doing good to others without letting others feel them.

The Hongxi massacre was resolved invisible by Liu Yu by leveraging Dashun's national power, but what he got was the recognition of the Dutch by the Chinese in the city, who felt that the Dutch rule was quite reasonable.

Obviously the Dutch no longer dared to massacre, but they instigated the Chinese in the city to revolt, causing fierce conflicts between the Chinese in the city and the Dutch. When the Dashun army entered the city, there was a scene of people lined up to welcome them.

Mozi said something similar two thousand years ago.

If you love someone, cover him or her quietly without waking him up; if you want to love someone, touch him/her quietly when you cover him/her with a quilt and let her know that it was you who covered him/her with a quilt.

The difference between love and use is roughly the same.

If the Hongxi Massacre happened and Dashun went to Nanyang this time, the Chinese would definitely be excited, looking forward to the stars and the moon.

But since Liu Yu chose to exchange Java's "people's hearts" for Ceylon, now he can only use this slightly dirty method.

The effect seems to be quite good.

After entering the city, Liu Yu and Li Hu were riding horses at the front of the team. The people on both sides kept cheering, and their joy was beyond words.

Some people placed some tropical fruits from Batavia on the roadside. From time to time, some brave ones would run into the marching ranks and push these fruits into the hands of the soldiers.

"Finally, the imperial court is here!"

I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and the response echoed instantly. The dark crowd fell to their knees, chanting "Master of Benevolence and Righteousness" and longing for Wang Hua.

Li Han looked at this scene and felt very comfortable. He could not help but imitate Liu Yu and wave to both sides of the road. He quietly approached Liu Yu and sighed: "I heard that Emperor Taizu's uprising swept the country in the past. In the north, people opened the city and sang joyfully. The scene today seems to be a glimpse of what it was like back then. "

"People talk about the Three Kingdoms in the market. People are happy when they hear that Xuande wins, and sad when they hear that Xuande loses. Therefore, because of Emperor Zhaolie's benevolence, there was a sudden massacre of Xuzhou. In the end, the people will still take the responsibility of leading the people. The hundreds of thousands of people who crossed the river."

Liu Yu waved to the citizens on both sides and said with a smile: "If Your Highness thinks so, it should be the same. They are all just finding a way to survive when they are on the verge of death."

"The hateful thing about the Dutch rule is that they made the Tang people work as buyers and tax payers. This made the local people hateful, and there are indeed some methods to divide and rule."

"The Dutch did not dare to kill this time because there were so many imperial warships. Without these warships, it would be difficult to say."

When Li Huan heard this, he also laughed and said: "Many people in the court say that Jinghou takes credit for being able to cure diseases. Jinghou built a navy on his own, just like Bian Que's brother who cures diseases before they occur, but he does not show his medical skills. Superb. It was difficult for the people of Bacheng to understand that the Dutch have restrained themselves in recent years because of our warships. "

"Everyone says that it is better to make mistakes than to make merits. Only by bringing up the fault and absolving him can he show kindness. If you know that the other party is at fault, but you take good care of it and do not say it out, the other party will not feel any kindness."

"Doctors are like this, and so is Nanyang. The uprising in the city was led by Kapitan and others in the city, and they also used the name of the Dutch people who were about to massacre. It can be regarded as letting the people of Bacheng know the principles and virtues, Only within the range of warships."

"It can be considered a good thing, right?"

Liu Yu looked at the excited crowd, thought for a moment and said: "It can't last long. When the knife was placed on the neck, he was hoping that someone would come to save them. But after all, a person's life is still tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. There are many things.”

"After this war, no European power will be able to come to Southeast Asia for hundreds of years. Now that the war has subsided, I want to spend some time here. When these passions fade away, the people will still be more concerned about their future lives, right?"

"The Dutch divide and rule and use the Chinese as middlemen and tax collectors to attract hatred, we cannot use it. In the future, we still need to put some thought into the rule of Nanyang."

Li Huan thought that this was indeed the case. Then he looked at the welcoming people on both sides of the street and sighed: "If it were the imperial army, in the Celestial Empire, the people would be so respectful and loved wherever they went. Not to mention the eight hundred years of Zhou's foundation." , even if it’s a thousand years, what’s the difficulty?”

Liu Yu glanced at Li Huan and couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself, "Stop dreaming here. Is this even worthy of the Dashun Empire's army?" If you can pay every month and the army can dominate the world without robbing, you think more.

…………

Among the crowd, the people who welcomed the imperial army into the city were indeed as Liu Yu and Li Hui said.

A few days ago, Kapitan told them that the Dutch were going to massacre them. In order not to be killed by the Dutch, they chose to start a rebellion and kill the Dutch first.

The uprising was not that easy. When the Dutch began to counterattack, they once again remembered the indoctrination they had received since childhood that "the Dutch are invincible".

In brutal street defense battles, the Dutch had charged several times and the rebel army of the Tang people was crumbling.

Once breached, it would be a total massacre.

At that time, when the cannons of the imperial warships rang out at the mouth of the Zilion River, it was the moment that the Chinese in Batavia were most looking forward to the imperial court.

When that moment passed, the anticipation gradually dropped from its highest point.

When people live, they don't have to face major events like massacres and uprisings every day. They mostly have tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

The people in Batavia looked at the imperial troops walking through the streets, at the much larger Dutch warships at the mouth of the Zilion River, and at the troops walking into the city with more artillery than the Dutch. Of course, It's reassuring.

There are also some who are proud.

But after being reassured and proud, more people consider the court's policies.

Do you have to pay taxes?

Also include tax?

Many people work in industries started by the Dutch. What should they do with the copper they need to survive for the next month?

After driving away the Dutch, there must be fewer merchants in Batavia. What should we do about those who open hotels and restaurants?

People have to live.

Seeing the imperial army snaking into the city, seeing that the butcher knife raised by the Dutch could never fall, the mentality of the citizens was gradually changing.

Not everything is better at the imperial court. If everything is better than Nanyang and the money is easier to make than Nanyang, then why go to Nanyang? Who doesn’t want to be in his hometown?

The imperial army in front of them seems to be well-disciplined. At least for now, Qiu has committed no crimes, and there has been no robbery in the city.

However, the army is not the court, and the court is not just the army.

The people in Batavia had a lot of expectations for the imperial court. The expectation that the army would not commit any crimes when they entered the city in autumn, that they would be given money to buy things, and that they would not rob was just one of the expectations of the imperial court.

The welcoming crowd was actually not only excited but also a little uneasy at this time.

A simple common sense, they still know it. That is, after the transfer of power and the new regime enters the city, some laws and policies will be announced to stabilize people's hearts.

Since everyone knows this common sense, then after these troops enter the city, they will definitely issue decrees and policies at the original Dutch Governor's Palace.

So when the last Marine soldier entered the city, the welcoming people followed behind the Marines. Thousands of Chinese gathered in front of the square of the former Batavia Governor's Palace, looking forward to the new regime to calm their anxious hearts. Come down.
