There is a fierce fight in Malacca. In the territory of the ally Aceh, there are also Han people raising troops to fight for independence. What is the governor of Batavia doing?
He is guarding against Wandan Kingdom!
As early as when the Datong Navy robbed Dutch merchant ships, Banten Kingdom began to jump. Instead of directly attacking Batavia, they engaged in friction on the Matalam border, and the British also took the opportunity to send troops to do so.
Due to the continuous suppression of the Netherlands, the British influence in Java is very weak. Didn't even bother to station the warships, only in the castle near Banten, with a few civilians, and 16 British Army soldiers.
Why not attack the Netherlands, but attack Matalam instead?
Because the current Sultan of Mataram chose to cooperate with the Netherlands, it seriously violated the interests of Banten and the United Kingdom!
Just when Matalan Sultan Amanggurat I sent someone to ask for help from the Netherlands, the Netherlands sent 500 troops to help. An uprising broke out in Matalam. The indigenous aristocrat, Trunozojo, held high the banner of fighting against the oppression of the Netherlands, and gathered thousands of troops to attack the capital of Matalam.
These insurgents are also interesting. Their slogan is to fight against the Dutch, but instead of attacking the Netherlands, they attack their own capital.
The reason for such nonsense is that the Netherlands and Mataram are sworn enemies!
Ma Talam's predecessor, Sultan Radeng Langsang, was also a hero. Twice he led the army to besiege Batavia.
After the defeat, Ladeng Langsang began to cultivate his health. He reformed the domestic calendar, reformed the tax system, encouraged maritime trade, and seriously developed the economy. It is planned to develop the army and navy after the strength is strong, and finally have a decisive battle with the Dutch.
It is a pity that although this hero has a remarkable effect in internal affairs and has made Ma Talan rich and powerful, he has a successor who is eager to enjoy himself.
After Amang Goulart I succeeded to the throne, relying on the abundant treasury left by his father, he began to build palaces, search for and buy exotic beauties, and live in the palace all day long. In a few years, the treasury was empty, so they began to extort money.
In addition to the aggression of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, Mataram lost control of shipping, trade declined, and production slumped.
The local nobles in the country were already very dissatisfied. Amanggurat I did not want to appease them. Instead, he took the initiative to give the Dutch the right to purchase spices and use the Dutch army to suppress domestic rebellions.
Even if the uprising does not break out now, it will in a few years.
Historically, the aristocratic rebel army not only captured the capital, but also controlled the entire coastal area of ??East Java. The tyrant Amanggurat I was also killed by the rebel army. This guy's son once again relied on the Netherlands to suppress the rebellion. The price was that Matalam became a vassal of the Netherlands and ceded part of its territory to the Netherlands.
"Your Excellency, the rebels have captured Semarang, and the Sultan of Mataram once again asked for help. The Sultan promised that as long as he helps him destroy the rebels, Mataram is willing to be a vassal state of the Netherlands."
"Semarang is a big city, how did the rebels fight so fast?"
"The Tang people in Semarang have joined the rebels."
"Tang people, Tang people, these damn Chinese again!"
When Van der Lin heard words such as "Tang people" and "China", he felt uncomfortable. There are too many bad things related to China, which made him unable to resign safely, and insisted on making all kinds of moths and disgusting people.
In fact, the Chinese in Semarang announced to join the Mataram Rebel Army. The reason has nothing to do with race, but has a huge relationship with religion!
The tyrant Sultan of Mataram, in order to gain power and curry favor with the Dutch, went so far as to crack down on the local religious forces while conniving at the Dutch missionaries to spread Christianity. This move angered Green Christians all over the country. This uprising is tantamount to a tripartite alliance of sects, nobles and common people.
Wherever the rebel army passed by, there was no need to fight at all, and religious sects, nobles and people from all over the world rushed to help.
And the Chinese in Semarang are almost all Green Christians!
This is also Zheng He's supply base. The Chinese converted to Green Religion, and Zheng He made great efforts.
Zheng He's voyage to Nanyang was also a journey to spread Green Education. Champa, Old Port, and Semarang are the three major missionary bases of Zheng He, and the local leaders he appointed are all Green Christians.
Those Chinese who revolted in Palembang before were all Green Christians!
?Second Sister Shi, the second Daming Old Port Propaganda Envoy, has an adopted son named Sunan Jili. With the help of Second Sister Shi, this person actively opened up Chinese dioceses,
?Not only preached in Sumatra, but even developed the power of the sect to Java, and was honored by later generations as "the greatest of the nine sages of the Green Sect in Java".
Although the Shi family in Palembang is not obvious, but as long as the name of "Pinachi" is displayed, the Green Christians in Sumatra and Java, regardless of Chinese or aborigines.But to quell the civil strife, it also expanded the territory several times.
The cub sells Ye Tian not to panic, go to hell!
However, it is said that Kuang Hong came from Malacca and did not go directly to Batavia, but went to Palembang to meet the Chinese leaders there.
After shopping for two days, Kuang Hong felt complicated.
The people are Chinese faces, the words are Fujian and Cantonese dialects, and the clothes and buildings are Chinese. But the mosque there made Kuang Hong a little nervous. Almost all Han Chinese believed in the Green Sect.
In this regard, Kuang Hong could not express his dissatisfaction, so he could only leave angrily, and came to negotiate with the Dutch by boat.
The conditions he set made Van der Lin very angry.
First, Malacca belongs to China.
Second, the Netherlands terminated its alliance with Aceh, and Aceh was later a vassal state of China.
Third, the Netherlands gave up the exclusive right to acquire spices from Aceh, and gave up the right of first priority to acquire spices from Matalan.
Fourth, the Netherlands compensated 10,000 taels of silver.
Fifth, the Netherlands allows the Han people in Batavia to have the right to live and leave freely, and no longer imposes heavy taxes on the Han people in Batavia.
Sixth, the Netherlands recognizes Taiwan as Chinese territory.
