Chapter 159 British East India Company (page 12)
[The obvious oppression of the Chinese by the Dutch naturally aroused resistance, and the local Chinese even established an uprising. Unfortunately, someone reported on it, and the uprising failed miserably.
The rebels were sold into slavery and even thrown into the sea.
When a building caught fire in the city, the Dutch said it was a signal for a Chinese uprising and began to massacre the Chinese indiscriminately.
For three whole days, they robbed property, raped women, and burned down areas where Chinese people lived. Less than a hundred Chinese people survived the incident, which was known as the Red Creek Massacre or the Red Creek Massacre in history. ]
Not only people from the Ming and Qing Dynasties who have family members overseas felt chills after watching it, but people from other time and space who recognized the concept of Chinese also felt sad for what happened to their compatriots in that time and space.
Especially as the video continues, the Netherlands has never curbed its colonial behavior in Southeast Asia.
[Relying on their lack of morality and superiority in weapons, the Dutch became the uncrowned king in Southeast Asia. In the entire East, no one could escape from their clutches except the then country Z who could fight with them.
In the 17th century, Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan, ended Taiwan's rule by the Dutch colonialists, and made great contributions to the territorial integrity of the motherland.
The victory in the battle to seize the island across the sea effectively challenged the new order of the European powers to carve up the world. It shocked the Western European powers and caused the Dutch, who were so arrogant to burn London to surrender, to surrender. It also made the Spanish colonists who also oppressed the Chinese in the Philippines at that time panic all day long. . ]
The arrogant Dutch people all over the world only encountered this one nail in the East.
The people of the Ming Dynasty should have been happy, but Zheng Chenggong was born in the late Ming Dynasty. His father surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and he still resisted the Qing Dynasty. One of the reasons for regaining Taiwan was also because the Qing army wanted to blockade them after occupying most of Fujian's territory. In order to have a bigger point base area and continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing this, no one from Ming Dynasty could be happy.
But from another perspective, being able to drive away the Dutch and regain Taiwan shows that even in the late Ming Dynasty, there were still good weapons and equipment, while other places could only be slaughtered by Westerners.
In a few hundred years, Lian Qing will be left to his own devices.
The people of the Qing Dynasty were very aware of Zheng Chenggong's affairs, but they did not expect that Zheng Chenggong's behavior would be so highly regarded in later generations.
[The desolation of the Dutch East India Company was not judged as imagined, but was targeted by its English counterparts.
After the four Anglo-Dutch Wars, England completely took control of maritime power and overseas trade.
Of course, Britain and the Netherlands were still at war, and they were still able to get loans from the Bank of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. They also issued war bonds in the Amsterdam Securities Market, attracting Dutch capital with high bond interest rates.
The First Anglo-Dutch War, British victory.
In the Second and Third Anglo-Dutch Wars, the Netherlands won, but Britain continued to take money from Dutch capital to regroup.
The Fourth Anglo-Dutch War was a complete victory for Britain. ]
People from all walks of life in the local area were stunned.
They were greatly shocked by the new stock system and stock exchange introduced by the Netherlands, including a series of bloody and violent actions in Southeast Asia, but it is not incomprehensible if they think about it carefully.
But now that your two countries are at war, the British are attacking your Dutch merchant ships at sea, and you are still investing your money in the British... Is it so obvious that you are investing in the enemy?
The Dutch government has asked the Dutch East India Company to stop transporting goods to the UK, but you can still refuse in the name of free trade; and that's not all, they have even gone as far as Amsterdam and are still buying British government bonds.
In short, the local emperors were greatly shocked.
A company in which people all over the country have invested in it, and in which the upper-class nobles have also invested in it, has become a behemoth that is not under the jurisdiction of the government, and is capable of blatant traitorous behavior.
The most paradoxical thing is that the Dutch government was powerless to do anything about it, because everyone within the government also bought shares of the Dutch East India Company, and perhaps many individuals also bought British war bonds.
Suddenly, everyone's understanding of the four words "merchants pursuing profits" was once again refreshed, and many imperial courts were also preparing to start a strict investigation to see if there were any internal businessmen who secretly colluded with foreign countries to do business with the enemy.
[At the end of the war, Britain directly announced that it would stop paying interest on war bonds held by Dutch capital, causing the Dutch financial market to collapse.
After winning the war, the United Kingdom took back the bonds from the Amsterdam Stock Exchange at low prices. The national debt of other countries, including the British government bonds purchased by Dutch capital, were all owned by the United Kingdom. London also replaced Amsterdam and became the new world financial trading center.
The Dutch East India Company's routes were taken away by the British East India Company. After Amsterdam lost its financial status, they could no longer raise funds, and they declined. ]
There is no punishment to eliminate evil, it is just that evil people will be punished by evil people.
Shopkeeper Liu of the silk shop kept shaking his head: "England is so ungrateful."
Shopkeeper Zhou of the tea shop laughed and said: "They are all pirates who burn, kill and plunder at sea. What kind of loyalty do you give to thieves?"
The boss of the two men sighed: "It can be seen that making money is good, but the Netherlands has been defeated, and the country behind them can no longer protect them, and any rules are useless."
People from other dynasties had limited sentiments. The gentry during the Kangxi period were the ones who had the most in common with the Dutch above.
When the Ming Dynasty was around, they didn't cherish it. After changing to the Qing Dynasty, they discovered that they had the Eight Banners and didn't need to rely on them, and they really knew how to kill people.
The topic of the Dutch East India Company ended, and the anchor continued to the next one, arriving at the British East India Company.
In terms of non-human resources, the Dutch East India Company has far surpassed the United Fruit Company, and the British East India Company that can replace it will only be more unpredictable.
Taking advantage of the gap between the broadcasts, many people hurriedly drank water and took pills, always feeling that there would be something bigger next.
[The Boston Tea Party, which triggered the independence of the United States, dumped tea from three British East India Company merchant ships in order to prevent them from dumping tea in North America.
The First Opium War opened the door to Country Z. The purpose was also to protect the opium produced by the British East India Company from Bangladesh and continue to be sold there.
It was the British East India Company that led the soldiers to defeat the Mughal dynasty in India and ushered in the era of British colonial rule in India...]
Liu Che, who had always kept Ami in mind but didn't know what was going on with him, was stunned: "What, that's also a British colony?"
And looking at the map above, the starting territory is only one along the east coast.
So America became independent from England, and in a short period of time, it took over a small territory in the east of the continent, and finally occupied so much territory in North America, and also started to oppose the Soviet Union?
He added weight to this Ami in his heart and decided to ask the anchor to tell him about this country next time.
The Qing Dynasty, who had a ptsd in the words "Opium War", instantly felt his ears pricked. He didn't expect that the cause of the British bombardment was the British East India Company.
They are the ones who sell insidious things like opium, right?
The first three sentences have already made many people realize that this British East India Company is unusual.
What they knew from the last Dutch video was that the British East India Company was established two years before the Dutch because they were jealous of the money made from other countries' maritime trade.
