Live broadcast: Ancient people accompany me to make up lessons

Even though it is clear that Europe was the first place to overthrow the rule of monarchs and aristocrats, but this kind of thing where the whole country makes money together, and it is still a business-led thing, is not so acceptable to everyone.

The whole country worships money. The birth of stocks and the establishment of stock exchanges. Everything they have learned through the narration of young scholars in the video has made the rulers frown.

It was too chaotic, the kind of chaos that was very unfavorable to their past habitual way of thinking and ruling.

[Seventy-six representatives from six regions in Amsterdam formed the East India Company's board of directors. Seventeen more of these directors were elected as the permanent meeting of the board of directors, so it was also called the 'Meeting of Seventeen'.

The 17 oligarchs were selected as heads of the East India Company and were responsible for leading the finance, supervision, communications... and other committees.

In 1610, the East India Company established an Indian Commission in Batavia (Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia) and dispatched governors. The Indian Commission in Asia had almost full power to decide on colonial expansion activities in Asia.

A new nightmare for Southeast Asians has begun. ]

Everyone found that people there quite like to hold meetings and vote. There is a parliament in the UK, and there are various meetings in France and Russia, and everyone talks about it one by one.

Some people think that this method can be regarded as a kind of fairness, and it is better than the court office.

Some people also think that in this way, those selected must have their own advantages. Isn't this an alternative aristocratic politics?

Only businessmen who ended up doing business in partnership and ended up unhappy found it more appropriate to do business together in this way.

As a result, discussions about this method of meeting resounded in various dynasties.

Some people also wonder, why is this a new nightmare for Southeast Asians?

People from the Zhengde and Jiajing eras can answer this question very well, because at this time they were doing business with the Portuguese in private. Among the Westerners currently entrenched in Southeast Asia, the Dutch are not even on the list.

[At that time, there were two Muslim sultanates in the east and west of Java in Southeast Asia - Banten and Matalan.

The two sultanates have their own contradictions, and the two countries also have their own contradictions within themselves. The Dutch made full use of different contradictions, pulling together one faction and fighting the other.

From 1615 to 1619, the Dutch and the English fought fiercely on the Banda Islands. The Dutch found that they could not monopolize the spices in Southeast Asia through card charges and forced buying and selling, so they decided to change their strategy and began to directly establish their rule over Southeast Asia...]

Although they were against these Europeans in their hearts, as feudal rulers, the emperor's officials were not unable to understand the logic of their actions.

It's enough to just pull one faction against another and sell their own things. Why do they have to rule there? In the remote countryside there, except for the production of spices and other things that can be bought and resold, there is no value in ruling at all?

Just to make more money and avoid competition from their counterparts in other European hometowns, they have to rule there.

Moreover, they have traveled all the way from Europe to Southeast Asia. How can such a small country with such a small population rule these scattered islands?

People who haven’t been to these islands don’t know much about it, but the next two people who went to sea in the Ming and Qing dynasties know that, in the words of later generations, the indigenous people there were relatively backward.

The Westerners all had artillery on their ships at that time. Judging from the pictures on the video, the weapons they brought were also more advanced than the locals.

[On March 1619, 3, the Dutch East India Company renamed Jayakarta Batavia.

On May 5, under the instruction of the new Governor-General Cohen, the Dutch drove out the troops and officials of the Banten Sultanate from Batavia and established their own direct rule here.

The Dutch had their first solid stronghold in Southeast Asia, and from then on, they gradually encroached on Southeast Asia.

When the locals refused their forced purchase of spices at low prices, the Dutch East India Company branded the locals as having links to England, sent troops to occupy the Banda Islands, and forcibly landed on the English stronghold at that time.

The Dutch kidnapped more than 800 locals and sold them to Batavia as slaves. They then burned, killed, and looted on the Banda Islands. They arrested 47 local indigenous leaders and publicly executed them collectively, which shocked the local area.

When there were aborigines who wanted to escape, the Dutch implemented a massacre, killing all the surrounding aborigines, physically clearing out the original population of many islands in Southeast Asia, turning each island into an uninhabited land, and then filled it with slaves to build spices. Plantation…]

The video was restrained enough, and the scenes shown were no longer bloody and terrifying, but the words that those people had done were enough to make everyone shudder.

The rulers finally knew that the Dutch ruled like this.

There is no such thing as rule and management. If the locals kill all the people, there is no need for management. People from different islands go to other places to work as slaves and produce their wealth.

The kind-hearted person has closed his eyes and cannot bear to listen anymore.

They were both human beings, and they couldn't bear to hear that people in another place were alive and well, but were oppressed and slaughtered like this by outside bandits.

The people of the Ming Dynasty looked through the records and found that these things were not far away from their future, and they remembered that these islands also came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

It was too close, so close that their sense of crisis also skyrocketed.

[In contrast to the Dutch, even though the Portuguese, who are also Europeans, also burned, killed, looted and set up card charges everywhere, Asians would rather get along with the Portuguese.

The different ways the two treat the colonies are also related to their religion and policies...]

Although the students in the academy are not as ignorant of worldly affairs as the students of later generations, they did not grow up in a greenhouse after all.

It's just that what they can come into contact with is at most the corruption and corrupt administration within the Ming Dynasty, which is far from such bloody and brutal levels.

Compared to this company, United Fruit doesn't seem to be so cruel. At least the banana sellers have people to work, and they haven't killed all the locals.

Wang Shouren smiled bitterly as he rode on horseback: "A robber who sets up card charges everywhere, burns boats and robs, actually looks kind-hearted compared to another robber."

Comparing one item after another, it is true that the Portuguese and Catholics have done some construction, education and somewhat formal rule, at least they are not as cruel and cruel as the Dutch.

It's just that we are both bandits and oppressing Southeast Asians, so it's really helpless that we can still compare ourselves to each other like this.

[What the Dutch did to the Chinese in Southeast Asia is even more indescribable.

Before colonists came to Southeast Asia, Indonesian regional rulers liked to entrust Chinese to act as tax collectors.

To put it simply, the tax system is a tax system that has existed in both the East and the West.

Under this system, a type of businessman will be born, called a tax collector. The government outsources tax collection to businessmen and realizes early realization of taxes through the businessmen's assets.

To put it simply, as long as the tax contractor pays enough taxes to the top, it is up to him how and how much he taxes the bottom.

The tax collectors in our country mainly existed in the Song and Yuan dynasties...]

Qin, Han and Tang: Why is it Song again?

The emperors who walked forward frowned, thinking that whatever happened to the rulers of the Song Dynasty, they could handle it all. No wonder there were so many civil unrest below.

Well, it's the Song Dynasty again, and Zhao Kuangyin is already numb.
