Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Hanyi agreed on a time for the start of the war, and asked the Han people in Bacheng to connect half a month in advance. The purpose was to keep it as secret as possible and leave room for adjustment.

    Facts have proved that plans are always subject to change.

    The Chinese naval fleet was discovered in advance, leading to an earlier attack time.

    The spy lurking in the city found that the Dutch blocked the port and prevented the remaining Chinese merchant ships from leaving the port, so he hurried to the countryside to report.

    The action has to be advanced, otherwise the Dutch will do it first.

    Su Dingguo summoned several sons and more than 30 fellow villagers.  Only he himself has an arquebus, and the rest are all swords and spears, and they are all dressed in civilian clothes, not even a decent armor.

    More than 400 Javanese slaves were also gathered together. Su Dingguo said in local language: "The emperor of China sent a hundred thousand troops. The Dutch are dead this time. Don't try to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Some people stay in the countryside.  , protect our farm, and the rest, all the food and grass will be transported with the army! Let¡¯s go, and destroy the Yang family first!¡±

    Dozens of Han people held weapons, and more than two hundred Javanese slaves accompanied the army to transport food.

    On the way, I met Su Dingbang, Su Dingguo's younger brother, and Su Dingbang also brought a similar army.  In this way, the troops continued to gather, and the direction was not Batavia, but the Yang family plantation, which also belonged to the Han people.

    The incumbent Jiabitan's surname is Yang, and he is Ba. How much hard-earned money did you squeeze out of the villagers when you contracted the city walls and canals?  You brought many folks out to sea, and you drove them to death!  Now your son is a Kapitan, and he is also a dog for the Dutch, and he will avenge his revenge today!  "

    Yang Kun hurriedly argued: "The Dutch are rushing to build the city wall, and the Dutch are also raising taxes in the past two years. My Yang family can't help it either!"

    "Kill this dog!"

    Suddenly one person yelled, and the rest of the Han people rushed to kill them, spreading their anger towards the Dutch on these bastards of the Yang family.

    Yang Kun turned around and fled. Before he could take a few steps, he was knocked down by a shoulder pole, hit by a hoe, and smashed into a sieve by more than a dozen spears.  His second son and grandchildren were also beaten, and even his old wife was beaten to death, and then the rebel army rushed into the house and looted it.

    With this "great victory", the morale of the rebel army was instantly high, and they headed towards the city with their heads held high.

    The city is already in chaos.

    Thousands of Javanese indigenous residents were incited. Men, women, and children, armed with sticks, crazily rushed towards the neighborhood where the Han people lived.  There are also two thousand Javanese servants, armed with machetes and bows and arrows, charging as the vanguard.

    And thousands of Han residents, also connected by secret workers and businessmen, took up arms one after another, and built fortifications at the intersections with furniture and door panels.

    Attached

    It is said that Han people are forbidden to hold weapons, but at this moment, there are many Han people holding big knives and spears.  Every street has a Han Chinese street leader. Under the leadership of the street leader, women and children go into battle with sticks.

    The two sides fought back and forth between the barricades built with furniture. The Javanese servants with bows and arrows could not attack for a while.

    Governor Rainiers, standing on the castle, observed the battle situation with binoculars, and complained helplessly: "These Javanese soldiers are really trash, even Chinese civilians can't beat them."

    The army commander asked: "Do you want to help?"

    "Fire some shots," Rainiers said.

    In Batavia, Malacca, Manila, and Zeelandia, the main forts of these European colonial castles were not aimed at the sea, but invariably aimed at the Han Chinese settlements.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    More than 20 shells fell on the Han people's block, and many roofs collapsed. There were not many Han people killed or injured.  However, local chaos was caused, and the timid Han people were running like headless chickens.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Another cannon was fired, but a naval battle broke out a few miles away.

    Rainiers said: "Leave 200 people to defend the castle, and the rest will attack the Chinese in the city."

    Clapp asked: "Don't you stick to the castle?"

    Rainiers said: "From Zeelandia to Malacca, fees are rising; second, the structure is bloated, and the number of employees is increasing; third, the company's debt ratio is high, and the interest that needs to be repaid is scary-the goods are sold.  , the money is recorded in the account, and the net profit has not been calculated, it must be distributed to major shareholders as dividends, and debt repayment is the next thing.

    Historically, when the first Anglo-Dutch war broke out, and in the following years, due to the frantic construction of warships in the Netherlands after the defeat, the income and expenditure could almost offset each other. The total profit in ten years was only 590,000 taels of silver, and the average annual net profit was 590,000.  Two (whole of Asia).

    What's even more funny is that from 1689 to 1790, the Dutch East India Company lost money every year.

    ?At its peak, the average annual loss was 2.6 million taels of silver.

    In the last ten years of the company's bankruptcy, the average annual loss was 1.29 million taels of silver.

    Why did a company go bankrupt after losing money for a hundred years?

    Because it is the company that loses money, and it is the major shareholders who make money.  No matter how much the loss is, the major shareholders can pay dividends before the accounts are evened out, and the company's executives can also fill their pockets crazily!

    Who will pay for the loss?

    The common people of all nationalities in the colonies, as well as the countless small shareholders of the company, the Dutch who bought the company's bonds, and the bad guys who lent to the company.  In the end, the whole of the Netherlands came to take over because the company was "forced" to be nationalized.

    This is how merchants rule the country, and they want to kill the Han people directly along the city wall.

    "Run, the red-haired ghost is here!"

    The Han people who were standing guard on the city wall were so frightened that they ran back and shouted.

    The gates of the city were quickly opened, and thousands of Han Chinese flocked out, fleeing towards the countryside on the outskirts.

    The Javanese residents and Javanese soldiers took the opportunity to break through the barricades and chased after the Han Chinese.  After chasing and chasing, they stopped chasing. Instead, they rushed into the houses of the Han people and snatched everything they thought was valuable.

    There were only a dozen or so Dutch cavalrymen who ran out of the city along the city wall, and soon caught up with the tail of the Han people.

    The heroic and fearless Han Chinese in street fighting turned into a mess outside the city.  Thousands of people with various weapons were chased by more than a dozen Dutch cavalry, and they were hacked to death by the Dutch cavalry when they ran slowly.

    "Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

    The bell rang in the castle, which meant that the Datong Army was about to land, and the Governor of the Netherlands ordered the army to be called up.

    The Indians and Arabs in the city were completely confused and at a loss.

    The goal of the Dutch has been achieved. It is not necessary to kill all the Han people, but to drive the Han people out of the city.  A castle, plus a city, first defend for a period of time, looking for an opportunity to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle.

    This is the usual tactic used by the Netherlands to defend Batavia. First defend the city and then attack the navy.
