When Putmans heard this, he became angry, stared at the man and shouted: "Didn't you hear what he said? If you are not here to sign up for Kapitan, get out of here!"

"Mr. Su is old, and people will die if he does this." The man did not leave, but continued, "He is our Kapitan, there is no need to change to Kapitan!"

Hearing this, Putmans became even more angry. When did it become so difficult for him to speak! He immediately ordered: "Come on, grab this monkey and hang it here for public display. Anyone who dares to refuse to obey orders will be punished!"

As soon as he said this, two Dutch soldiers came forward to arrest him.

There was a sudden commotion among the crowd of onlookers, but soldiers suppressed it.

Su Minggang was hung there. Although his mouth was gagged, he could still hear the tears streaming down his face. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Just now, this man was hanging next to Su Minggang, also gagged, and the scene became quiet again.

With a sneer on his face, Putmans looked at the man and thought to himself, these monkeys used to be quite docile and were good dogs, but now they dare to go against their owners. It's really outrageous. It needs to be repaired so that they can remember it for a long time. The Dutch are the masters here!

With this in mind, he turned to look at the crowd around him and shouted again: "There are many benefits to being a Kapitan. If you want to be a Kapitan, hurry up and sign up. The Governor has ordered that you must do it before sunset today." If you choose Kapitan, you will be snatched away by others if you are too late. This is a good opportunity, just once!"

In the original history, this Kapitan position was later bought with money. Many Ming people who have some money will rush to buy this Kapitan. After those families who became Kapitan tasted the benefits of being Kapitan, they often became determined to obtain Kapitan and thus became family-owned.

But at this time, after Putmans said it, no one came out to sign up. There was anger on each of their faces.

Putmans didn't feel this situation at first, but after waiting for a long time and no one came out to sign up, and when he found that almost everyone looked at him with hatred, he couldn't sit still.

Could it be that these oriental monkeys really have to change their nature? Not only is he not docile, but he is no longer fighting among himself. The interests of this Kapitan are real. According to the past, people will definitely rush to do it, or even step on others to grab this Kapitan!

Thinking of this, Putmans' face became a little ugly. He stood up, walked slowly to the middle of the field, then turned in a small circle, looked at the people in front of him, and said with a cold face: "If you guys Some people are afraid that after becoming Kapitan, they will be retaliated by the people of Sumingang. Let me emphasize to you here that Batavia is decided by us Dutch. The rules set by us Dutch are If anyone dares to disobey, the consequences will be serious. If anyone dares to be rude to the Kapitan elected by us Dutch, we Dutch will make the decision for Kapitan and they will all be hanged!"

After much thought, he decided that this was the only possibility. He didn't believe that these oriental monkeys could really change their behavior. It must be because of this reason. Now that I have spoken out, someone should sign up, right?

However, he thought wrong again this time! After he finished speaking for a long time, no one stood up and everyone looked at him coldly.

This made Putmans feel a little incredible. He had already considered everything he could, but these Eastern monkeys were still like this. Could it be... Could it be that they really needed to lose their temper?

In all my life, I have never seen anyone really change their temper. How is this possible?

I don’t know how long it took, but it seemed to Putmans that it had been a long, long time. Finally, another person stood out from the crowd.

Seeing this, Putmans couldn't help but be overjoyed. With the same cold and condescending expression he had before, he smiled and said, "What's your name? Don't worry, as long as you become a Kapitan, we Dutch people will be happy." I will protect you and never let you be retaliated against!"

Unexpectedly, the man showed no trace of gratitude at all, and just said with a righteous face: "Mr. Su is our Kapitan, there is no need to change it. And one thing, I want to remind you, we are all wise people. , there is no difference between the Ming people in Luzon. You Dutch have forced many of our Ming people to death, and now you want to hang Mr. Su. You have gone too far. If our Ming emperor knows about it, he will definitely send troops to Batavia. What happened in Luzon and Manila is an example..."

Before he finished speaking, Putmans's face changed from overjoyed at first, to shock, and then to anger. He didn't expect that the previously docile Akito would dare to threaten him face to face. He was so angry that he immediately pointed at the man and shouted loudly: "Come on, hang him up, hang him up too!"

Soon, another person was hung up.

But as a result, no one from the crowd came out.

This time, Putmans was no longer so naive as to think that someone from the Ming Dynasty would take the initiative to be a Kapitan! These oriental monkeys are really going to rebel. They dare to speak and threaten their master!

He was pacing back and forth a little irritably, like a headless fly.

At this time, he was a little aware from Akito's continuous reactions just now.

Whether it was Su Minggang or this person later, the reason why these gentle Ming people became like this was all because of what happened in Luzon. It is because they feel that their motherland will not abandon them and will make decisions for them, so their backbone becomes stronger.

This can explain why their temperaments have changed so much!

In the past, the reason why they were docile was because they knew that they had no choice but to obey their master. If they want to live well, they can only listen to their own master. Therefore, they will fight each other and cater to their own masters. The group of Ming people is actually a mess, and it is easy for ruthless people to control them.

But now that they have a strong motherland, they have centripetal force. When something happens outside, not only do we no longer fight each other, but we can actually stick together.

After thinking about this, Putmans felt for the first time that this matter was a bit tricky.

For the Dutch, the construction of Batavia comes first and must not be delayed. But now, it is certain that these Mingren are unwilling to cooperate. The craftsmanship of those native people is not as good as that of Ming people, and they are also very lazy. Sometimes, it’s better not to use it!

I originally thought that I could use punishment and execution to threaten the Ming people, but now it seems that these Ming people are so united that they are not afraid of these threats of punishment and put forward their own demands.

What if you are not even afraid of death? What else can be done next?

The scene was so deadlocked that Putmans couldn't wait any longer. The Governor is still waiting for news, but if this continues, even after dark, there will be no results.

what to do?

Finally, he couldn't wait any longer, left everyone behind and hurried back to find the Governor of Batavia.

When Kun saw Putmans entering, he couldn't help but smile and asked: "How many people have signed up for Kapitan? Thirty or fifty people? Let me choose someone who is capable and loyal to my Netherlands!"

Hearing this, Putmans' face became even more ugly, and he shook his head immediately. It was a bit difficult to explain, at least he didn't handle this matter well.

When Kun heard this, he asked in surprise: "What do you mean? There aren't that many people? That's okay. All we need is one Kapitan. Bring me the list and I'll choose one!"

Hearing this, Putmans had no choice but to speak: "Those Ming people changed their minds and actually decided that Su Minggang would be their Kapitan. No one else signed up for Kapitan!"

"What?" When Kun heard this, he immediately stood up from his chair. He was extremely surprised. He looked at him and asked, "What is the situation and why is this happening?"

To him, this was unimaginable.

He still has the impression. When Su Minggang came to Batavia with a large group of Ming people to work, he was so happy that he ordered Su Minggang to be Kapitan. At that time, he remembered clearly that many people were very disappointed. There were even a few who came to me secretly in private and expressed their opinions that they would be more useful than Su Minggang if they listened to themselves.

Now that I have withdrawn the Kapitan from Su Minggang and allowed others to have the opportunity to be the Kapitan, why is there no one left?

Putmans explained the situation at the scene, and then expressed his guess: "These Ming people have heard that the Ming Dynasty has become stronger, and now it has expanded its power to Nanyang. Especially Luzon Things over there gave them more confidence. Therefore, they felt that their country would make the decision for them. They felt that they had been treated unfairly in Batavia, so they no longer listened to us! "

Hearing this, Kun's brows wrinkled, his face looked very ugly, and he murmured to himself: "How could this happen? What will Batavia do if this happens? No, absolutely not..."

Seeing that the Governor had nothing to do, Putmans was also helpless. It seemed that Akito was not even afraid of death, and there was really nothing he could do against them. But Batavia's construction schedule cannot be delayed!

With this in mind, he tried to suggest: "How about pretending to agree to them, or let Su Minggang be the Kapitan and coax them to continue building Batavia first?"

Hearing him speak, Kun raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes a little cold. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "No, if their demands are met as soon as they make trouble, they will still make trouble in the future. Could it be that you Do you think we really need to treat them like workers in our country from now on?"

Upon hearing this, Putmans immediately shook his head and treated these Mingren as workers in his own country. That was definitely impossible!

After Kun said that, he also had an idea in his mind, and immediately ordered: "In order to appease the emotions of these Ming people, you go tell them that as long as they return to work, we will release all the hanging people! Otherwise, if you dare to continue to disobey, all of them will be killed." Hang!"

This is a sign of surrender to Mingren! Putmans was also helpless. When had the outgoing colonists ever surrendered to the local natives? Really!

Thinking like this, he asked Kundao again: "Then Kapitan will not be selected as well? Should we continue to let Su Minggang be the one?"

"No, this is absolutely not possible!" When Kun heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Su Minggang is no longer an obedient dog, and we can no longer let him control Mingren. Kapitan, I have another way!"

"Let those natives be Kapitans?" Putmans guessed a little surprised when he heard this, "Those natives are uncivilized people, and they don't even know they were fooled by Ming people!"

If it weren't for the various shortcomings of those natives, they wouldn't use them!

After hearing this, Kun shook his head and said, "No, send a message to Liu Xiang and ask him to send his men over to help us take care of these Ming people! Only Ming people can manage Ming people, and Ming people can be managed well! Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Putmans couldn't help but suddenly realized. Yes, aren't there Liu Xiang and the others? These people are all wanted criminals in the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, they cannot be of the same mind as the Ming Dynasty. Letting them help manage the Ming people here is just a trivial matter for them. This is totally fine!

As he was thinking, he heard Kun speak again, his voice a little sinister: "Sooner or later we will have to compete with Ming for hegemony in Nanyang. These Ming people think that they can bargain with us because they have a strong motherland. This trend cannot last long!" Otherwise, both the Ming people and the natives will go to please the Ming country. I don’t want this! Huh!”

Hearing this, Putmans was a little surprised and asked quickly: "I wonder what your Excellency the Governor has to say?"

"When the construction of Batavia is completed, there will be a bloodbath and liquidation!" Kun said coldly, "In this case, they can only take the situation in Batavia underground!"

After hearing what he said, Putmans also agreed very much, otherwise Batavia would have been built by these wise men. When they go back, wouldn't they be able to tell the Ming Dynasty everything about Batavia's situation?

So, both of them decided on this strategy to deal with Akito.

In the original history, the Dutch eventually massacred the Chinese in Batavia, and the blood flowed into a river, so that all the rivers in the city built by the Chinese turned red. Therefore, the river was eventually renamed "Red Creek" ", known as the "Hongxi Massacre" in history.

When this incident reached the Central Plains, which was already under the Qing Dynasty, the answer given was that the overseas Chinese who were killed "abandoned themselves to be kings", "were born in that land, and are actually no different from other people", and were "from that place" The Han race of the land has been sanctified from the outside." Therefore, the Chinese were massacred. "It was a matter of injury, but in reality the evil was done by oneself." The "Holy Dynasty" did not need to blame.

But in this dimension, the colonists are like dogs and cannot change their habit of eating shit. Their colonial nature determines that massacres will still happen, no matter what the reason is. Because in their eyes, Akito is not a human being at all. But today's Ming Dynasty is no longer the original Ming Dynasty. If they want to massacre Ming people, they have to ask the powerful Ming Dynasty whether he agrees or not!
