New Shun 1730

Chapter 729 The Final Calm

The general outline had been decided, and everyone discussed the details.

Because the Dutch rule was too simple and crude, the details of the uprising were simpler than the general outline.

The Dutch could only rely on them to communicate with the Chinese in the city, and there were very few Dutch who really understood Chinese, let alone ordinary soldiers.

Every Lei Zhenlan and Jiabidan is similar to Baochang, Jiazhang, Lizheng, etc., except that there are slightly more people in charge.

He was very familiar with his area and gathered people together. Even if he said that he wanted to kill the Dutch in front of the Dutch soldiers, ordinary Dutch soldiers would not understand.

However, the primary target of these people is the Governor's Mansion. There are files related to their future fate.

After roughly discussing it with them, Lian Fuguang said: "You guys wait here for a while while I go to discuss it with the 'people from the north'. If it is feasible, then we will do it."

At this time, he was not afraid of these people snitching.

Being Kapitan and Lei Zhenlan is all for themselves. There were many whistle-blowers in the past because the Dutch were powerful and rule seemed to be difficult for thousands of years. Of course, they had to report and please the Dutch.

Now that the Dutch are obviously in trouble, who would be foolish enough to die for the company?

These Lei Zhenlan were also frightened by Lian Fuguang. They felt that Lian Fuguang had already been connected to the people in the court. Of course, it was impossible to ask any more questions at this time.

On the contrary, I feel that now that I am really connected, my future fate may not be so miserable.

After quitting these people, Lian Fuguang changed his expression and went to find his younger brother and Wang Wu.

When he entered the house, Wang Wu was in Batavia, but he was drinking tea there calmly, as if he had a chance to win, and he didn't seem to care at all about Lian Fuguang going to inform him.

Seeing Lian Fuguang coming back, Wang Wuxi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Master Kapitan, this time you got the news from the Dutch. Have you finally made a choice?"

With the words "Lord Kapitan", Lian Fuguang hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, please forgive me, but I have to offend the villain. The villain just called the Lei Zhenlan people in the city together and explained their interests to them. The villain made a mistake before, but now he has regretted it..."

Lian Fuguang was very well-behaved at this time, and he knew very well that now was not the time to bargain.

I am a fisherman and a fisherman. Now I am not qualified to ask Wang Wu: Hey, I rebelled and took Batavia, will the court punish me? Is it possible for me to continue to be a minor official in Batavia?

If you ask that, you are just looking for trouble.

Because according to Wang Wu's intention, whether or not they started an uprising would not affect the imperial court's capture of Batavia.

Only by selling help in times of need can you be qualified to bargain.

Selling flowers on a brocade is meaningless.

Then he talked about the plan of how to prepare for the uprising, and then asked: "How many days will it take for the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court to arrive in Bacheng? Most of the Tang people in the city are civilians, and the Dutch do not allow Tang people to serve as soldiers. Although they have some bravery, they are not allowed to serve as soldiers. The chaotic fighting in the city is okay, but if the Dutch come back and fight back, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand it. "

"We have already repented, and we have the consciousness to pay for our previous sins with death. However, if the imperial soldiers start an uprising when they come, we can still cooperate and open the door to seize the city. If the uprising starts early, I'm afraid I won't be able to help the imperial court. I was so busy that I missed something important.”

When Lian Fuguang was talking about the plan just now, he emphasized his role and spent a lot of time on how he could persuade those Lei Zhenlan to repent.

Wang Wu knew this very well and thought that no matter how many truths he preached, it would not be as effective as saying that the imperial fleet and more than a dozen battleships had destroyed the East India Company's navy. Do you still need to persuade me?

But he stopped sarcastically exposing it. After listening to this vague plan, which in the eyes of professional staff was not a plan at all, he didn't find any faults.

Since Lian Fuguang asked when the imperial army would arrive, Wang Wu said: "Don't worry. The reason why Jinghou gave you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds was because he was worried that the Dutch would massacre before they broke through the city. "

"If you throw a rat into a vessel, is it possible that you can really break it?"

"Just do it sooner rather than later."

"I also have thirty or forty people in my hands. Although there are not many people, they all have some skills. If there is really a difficult place to attack, we will take action."

Lian Fuguang said hurriedly: "In that case, I will do it now."

"Okay. Farewell!"

Wang Wu nodded, did not stay, and left with his people, not caring about what Lian Fuguang and others were going to do.

As soon as Wang Wu left, Lian Fuguang hurriedly went to find Lei Zhenlan who was eagerly waiting for news.

In front of Wang Wu, he spoke softly. These Lei Zhenlans became very dignified. First of all, they must be convinced that they have a relationship with the imperial court, and their temperament cannot be bad.

These Lei Zhenlan also regarded Lian Fuguang as a life-saver. When they saw Lian Fuguang returning triumphantly, their hearts dropped.

Without waiting for these people to ask, Lian Fuguang took the initiative and said: "The people in the imperial court have said that it is better to do it sooner rather than later. Moreover, the imperial court has placed a lot of agents in the city. They have many talents. Let's just do it."

After that, he said mysteriously: "I can't blame the Dutch for being so panicked, but you don't know that the Dutch soldiers led by the governor were defeated by the imperial soldiers in Cirebon!"

"The rebels in the mountains were making a plan in Cirebon to lure them into being fooled, but the imperial soldiers were ambushing them halfway. When the Dutch soldiers approached, a cannon was fired, and the ambush troops came out, killing them all. The imperial army was about to be killed. We’re going to Bacheng.”

No one knows what the situation outside the city is now.

Just as the Kapitan Lei Zhenlan monopolized the information exchange channels between the Dutch colonial government and the Chinese, even Fuguang also monopolized the information channels between the imperial court and these Lei Zhenlan at this time.

He was talking nonsense, and the words he used seemed to be commonly used in storytelling scripts. There was a sound of cannon and ambushes appearing everywhere.

These so-called Chinese "captains" and "lieutenants" don't know how to fight at all. They can't understand it if you explain it in detail. The more the storytelling language is used, the easier it is to understand.

Even Fuguang actually didn't know the situation outside the city at all.

But since he is determined to do it, he will do it to the end. Just like if the imperial court does not send troops, he will fight for the Dutch to the end.

At this time, it is better to say that the Dutch outside the city failed than to say a thousand words, which can inspire the courage and fighting spirit of these people.

These Lei Zhenlan didn't have the slightest doubt about this.

Originally, they had no way of knowing the outside situation, but the person in front of them, Lian Fuguang, "had long been in contact with the imperial court and had secret communications."

Furthermore, even Fu Guang was a Kapitan, the leader of the Chinese, and the highest official position that the Chinese in Southeast Asia could hold in the Dutch colonies. There was no one higher than this.

Even the Chinese Kapitan in the capital Batavia was determined to rebel against the Netherlands. Obviously, the situation must have reached a point where the Dutch had no chance of winning.

If you still don’t believe it at this time, you are really stupid.

They didn't care much about the Dutch in the city, and they were mainly afraid of the Dutch who came back for reinforcements from outside the city. Worried that there would be trouble here, the Dutch would come back with reinforcements and cut them all into pieces.

Now that the biggest worry has been solved, what is there to hesitate about?

"Do it! Do it now!"

…………

In the city.

During the slave labor uprising in Batavia a few years ago, a Chinese man named Sun who invited his friend, the German carpenter named Schwarz, to his home was feeding the pigs in the yard.

Chinese people do not pay attention to repaying evil with kindness. What they pay attention to is repaying kindness with kindness and repaying evil with straightness.

Historically, when the Red Creek Massacre occurred, a German carpenter named Schwarz smashed his good friend's head with a rolling pin, stole pigs and property, and beat all the children to death - in his confession, he The word "good friend" is indeed used.

But the "sad" thing is that this time, the Hongxi tragedy did not happen.

So the Chinese named Sun Tao and the German carpenter named Schwartz are still very good friends.

Several years have passed since the sugar factory slave workers revolted and Batavia was placed under martial law.

In the past few years, from Sun Tao's point of view, nothing much has changed.

The Chinese rebels in the Boliangan area have nothing to do with themselves. Because I can afford the poll tax.

Immigration to Ceylon has nothing to do with me. Because I can afford the poll tax.

The failure of the Dutch encirclement and suppression had nothing to do with themselves, because the rebels in the Briangan area could not reach Batavia.

He lives a stable life in Batavia.

Only one of the young children died, but the rest survived and prospered.

What a great day.

When the piglets born from sows grow up, they will be able to kill pigs for meat and sell some money to buy some fabrics for their wives and some candies for their children during the Chinese New Year.

What a great day.

When you have free time, call your good friends over, have a few drinks, get tipsy, and then go to bed.

What a great day.

I heard from my good friend Schwartz that Europe is now at war again. Thinking about Batavia's stability, I can't help but feel lucky.

What a great day.

Things outside the city have nothing to do with him.

The matter in Java seems to have nothing to do with him.

Things in Nanyang still have nothing to do with him.

As for the whole world, in his eyes, it is actually far inferior to the pigs in his own pig house.

The only gloom in such a good day is that I heard that the rebels outside the city actually captured Cirebon.

This made him a little worried that one day the war would spread to Batavia.

The Dutch may be bad, but what if those "rebels" outside the city are even worse? What if they take a fancy to these pigs?

Like most middle- and lower-class Chinese in the city, he is afraid of change and the unknown.

Although I heard that the slogan of the rebels or rebels outside the city was to abolish the Chinese poll tax, there is a big question mark as to whether they can do it.

They were used to the days when the Dutch ruled, at least, stability and peace.

As for the poll tax, you have to pay tax on killing pigs, you have to pay tax on selling fish, you have to pay the money for the Wuzhimi Workhouse from time to time, you have to donate money when you get married, you have to donate money when you die, you still have to donate money to find a cemetery...

But if you get used to it, that's it.

He has neither the dream of getting rich overnight nor the ambition to transcend classes. Stability and peace are their biggest dreams.

The news of the war in Cirebon cast a shadow on his mind. Thinking about how to support God during the Chinese New Year this year, he had to pray that the war would not spread to Batavia.

Standing next to the pig house, Sun Tao looked at the fat pigs that were about to be slaughtered in the pig house. He was thinking about how many pigs he would sell and keep after killing them, which friends and relatives would have to give a piece of meat, and who would be invited to eat after the pigs were killed. Year of the Pig.

While thinking about these simple things in life, bursts of bells suddenly sounded outside.

That was the bell that Kapitan called to summon the Chinese and read out the company's laws and orders.
