New Shun 1730

As Wang Wu expected, when the Chinese rushed into the first floor, the Dutch on the second floor surrendered quickly.

Lian Fuguang said that if they did not surrender, he would set fire to the first floor and burn everyone to death.

There were several friends of Lian Fuguang inside, and the rest of the people were familiar with Lian Fuguang, after all, they were all insiders of the colonial government.

After getting Lian Fuguang's guarantee that he would not kill them, they all handed in their guns.

But Wang Wu did not let them go to the first floor, but chose a room on the second floor and locked all the company employees in.

Once the Dutch came to attack, they could be used as hostages and prevent them from escaping in the chaos on the first floor.

Lian Fuguang was anxious to burn the files, and Wang Wu was also anxious to organize people to return to the Tangren Community for defense. After a brief explanation, he left more than 20 good hands with Lian Fuguang here.

Then he tore down the VOC flag on the roof of the Governor's Mansion and hung a large piece of red silk cloth.

Lian Fuguang stayed in the Governor's Mansion, and the people under Lei Zhenlan and Wu Zhimi, or those who depended on them for food, about 200 to 300 people, all stayed here.

The remaining Chinese were just as Wang Wu thought. After conquering the Governor's Mansion, their spirits were scattered.

Asking them to attack the bastion of Batavia would mean they were going to die.

And the reason they started the rebellion was because they were worried about the Dutch massacre. What they are most worried about now is their own home.

If they were really asked to guard the Governor's Mansion, I'm afraid the Dutch would light a fire in the Chinese community, and these people would just scatter.

But if they returned to the vicinity of their own houses, their combat effectiveness would be greatly improved, and they would definitely be willing to show their courage.

Because the situation is now irreversible. Once the Dutch come back, they will definitely massacre and retaliate. Since they don't want to be massacred, they can only defend. Anyway, the news they received is that the imperial army will arrive in a few days.

After Wang Wu led the people to leave the Governor's Mansion, Lian Fuguang found the company counselor who was in charge after the Governor left, and locked him up in a room alone.

The Lei Zhenlans pulled Lian Fuguang aside, away from others, and made a beheading gesture.

"Brother Lian, these people can't stay. The middle-level managers of these companies know our details. When the court asks, they will reveal us. What's the point of burning the files?"

"I think we can kill them all. Just say they tried to riot and escape, and we took the initiative to kill them all."

"Your Dutch lawyer friend is also in there... But I'm afraid he knows about our affairs."

Their affairs are more than just the "letter of surrender"? The Dutch have files on tax accounts, property, land, etc.

Lian Fuguang sneered: "Since the court is here, what's the point of having a lawyer? If I didn't have my family wealth, how could we be friends? I'd rather betray my friends than let them betray me."

"We risk our lives to do this, isn't it just to save our heads? Why leave some troubles? Even if you don't say it, I have to say that no one should talk about feelings or friends. We'll kill them all in a while. Just as you said, they want to riot and escape, so we have to kill them."

These people are all ruthless. If they are not ruthless, how can they become Kapitan and Lei Zhenlan in Batavia? Tax farming is a matter of sucking the marrow out of bones. Killing a few people is just a matter of killing a few people, and these people don't have any psychological burden.

Originally, they rebelled against the Dutch with their heads on the line to save their heads. They did it with their heads on the line, but in the end, they lost their heads because of a friendship. Isn't that a big loss?

Besides, the court is here, and there is really no need for Dutch lawyers. This friend is meaningless. He can't bring any benefits to himself anymore, and he might even bite him back.

If you want to do it, you have to do it thoroughly and leave no trouble.

After discussing, this person easily reached an agreement. In fact, the prisoners inside are all their acquaintances, and they have to deal with them on weekdays, but they can't care so much at this time.

After calling some confidants and whispering to kill all the captured Dutch, Lian Fuguang went to the room alone to talk to the company counselor who was detained alone.

When the counselor of the company saw Lian Fuguang, he wanted to curse something like "You Chinese are really untrustworthy" and rebelled.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and they really dare not say these nonsense arrogantly at this time.

Instead, he smiled at Lian Fuguang in a flattering manner and said, "Kapitan Lian, we have known each other for a long time. When I came to Batavia, you were not yet Kapitan, but we knew each other."

"I understand your behavior very well. You are Tang people, of course you are loyal to your great emperor. This is patriotism. Although we in the Netherlands do not have an emperor, we will also respond to the call of the motherland."

After trying to get close to him, Lian Fuguang also smiled. He also wanted to get some words from the company counselor.

The court sent troops, but what was the situation outside the city?

He lied that the governor was defeated, but that was all made up by himself.

Lei Zhenlan thought that he had contact with the court and got the news from the court; the common people thought that he was the Kapitan appointed by the Netherlands and thought that he got the news from the Dutch.

Only he knew that he actually knew nothing.

Before attacking the Governor's Mansion, Lian Fuguang thought that the files of surrender should not fall into the hands of the court.

Now that they have entered the Governor's Mansion, the most terrifying shadow that had lingered in his heart was about to dissipate, but he began to hesitate again.

Although it was too late to regret, Lian Fuguang was very worried about the stone in his heart.

Of course he knew Dutch. After thinking about the formulaic words, he followed the company counselor's words and said: "You are right, of course we have to respond to the call of the motherland. Although I am the Kapitan of the company, I am a Chinese after all. Man. I am patriotic.”

"We have a saying that we are in the Cao camp and our hearts are in the Han Dynasty. The general idea is... This is different from Judas betraying Jesus for 30 silver coins. I am not short of money, you know it."

The company counselor also nodded, it was indeed true. How can the Chinese in Kapitan be short of money? If you don’t have money, you can’t be a Kapitan.

After roughly understanding the meaning of being in Cao's camp and being in Han, the company counselor believed Lian Fuguang's words.

The person Lian Fuguang reported initially was not someone from the court, but the leader of the Wu Shi Party.

This kind of thing is also common in Europe.

Didn't the forest beggars in the Netherlands also suffer suppression after the independence of the Netherlands?

When the British beheaded the king, many poor people participated. After Cromwell gained power, didn't he also kill the poor Diggers?

With this understanding, it is easy to accept Lian Fuguang's statement: loyal to the imperial court, but the imperial court will not like Lian Huaiguan just because he is Chinese. Just like the Diggers are also British, and the forest beggars are also Dutch.

Therefore, in the opinion of the company counselor, Lian Fuguang's words are absolutely credible.

The company counselor thought to himself that this is a true patriot, a patriot who is in Cao's camp and his heart is in Han. He is a respectable man who responded to the call of his motherland when it was in need.

Reporting on Lian Huaiguan, the leader of the Chinese Wu Shi Party, does not seem to be inconsistent with this.

"Company, you should be congratulated. The motherland you are loyal to is about to achieve a complete victory. Your warships defeated our fleet."

Just this sentence made Lian Fuguang clenched his fists involuntarily and almost screamed out.

The imperial fleet defeated the Dutch fleet? Excellent! It seems that I made the right bet. Even the proud fleet of the Netherlands was defeated. Isn't it just around the corner for the imperial court to enter Batavia?

Looking at the Dutchman in front of him, Lian Fuguang thought to himself, you must be considered my benefactor.

Originally, he was doubtful about Wang Wu's words, suspecting that Wang Wu was from the mountains and was using the court to defraud him.

Thanks to the Dutchman's talk with the vote, he felt the Dutchman's crisis, and then decided to vote.

If it weren't for this Dutchman, I might still be doubtful and confused. The imperial fleet had defeated the Dutch fleet. If he dragged on any longer, he would definitely not end well in the future.

His family property was confiscated and he was exiled for three thousand miles to guard the border. This must be regarded as a sign of mercy from the superiors.

Normally, his head would have been hung on the flagpole.

Now, at least there is a chance to give bribes a try.

After getting this sentence, even if it is enough, there is no need to ask more about the rest.

Lian Fuguang knew what was going on, and the worries he had just now about destroying the files by breaking into the Governor's Mansion were gone.

Feeling great.

So he took out his short gun, shot the company counselor in the head, and said with a smile: "Really, you are my benefactor."

…………

Tang community.

Eerily peaceful.

There are still some Europeans in the Tang community, but they are mainly craftsmen and the like. They are not employees of the company, but non-staff members of the company, usually carpenters, blacksmiths and the like.

Lian Fuguang's banner was that the Dutch wanted to carry out massacres.

Waiting for the news that the Governor's Palace has been captured, it is expected that massacres and robberies will also occur here.

But in fact it doesn't.

The ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty community are considered to be the citizen class. This is a class that basically likes to live a small life and basically respects conscience, good and evil.

If the original black-shirted and sans-pants men were still there, they would probably have massacred and robbed Europeans at this time.

It’s not that they have low morals, but most of these members of the Black Shirt Party are fired slave workers from sugar factories. These Europeans in the Tang community are not of the same class at all, and they don't know each other at all.

Since you want to kill me, let's kill you first. Their logic is relatively simple.

Of course, if they were still in the city and had not been immigrated to Ceylon, there would be no need for Lian Fuguang to come forward to attack the Governor's Palace today. The leader of the Wu Shi Party raised his arms and called for help. When the people from the court came forward, they didn't need to talk nonsense at all and just did it.

But those who stay in the city now are all Chinese who are living a slightly better life. The Europeans living here are either neighbors or friends.

This kind of friendship is not the friendship between a wealthy businessman and a lawyer. If these people were really allowed to kill their friends and neighbors, they would not be able to do so.

Chinese people value neighborliness and harmony.

Although in history, when the Hongxi Massacre occurred, these European "friends" and "neighbors" were not merciless at all. They killed friends and neighbors in all kinds of ways.

This is the Protestant tradition after all.

The profundity of Thanksgiving is indeed something that Eastern culture cannot understand.

But in the end, this did not happen and was stopped by Liu Yu in advance. Therefore, the Chinese here have not had the opportunity to experience the massacre tradition of the Protestant countries.

Ask these lower-middle-class Chinese to attack the Governor's Palace and kill those company employees and Dutch soldiers. They don't know them anyway, and they don't usually interact with them, so there is no psychological pressure when doing it. Besides, the company wants to kill them all to retaliate directly.

But if they were asked to massacre their neighbors and friends, they would not be able to do it.

Just like Sun Tao, who had followed the team to the Governor's Mansion and returned. After returning, he first went home to report his safety to his wife and children.

Then he went to the home of his German friend Schwarz, handed a piece of red silk cloth to the trembling Schwarz, and told him to hang it at the gate and stay at home.

Then, he went to the court to gather, and together with more and more Chinese, he prepared to build barricades and clear some houses according to the requirements of those people who were said to be sent by the court, and prepare to prevent the counterattack of the Dutch. Not for anything else, but to fight for his wife and children behind him.

Sun Tao thought that if the Dutch really fought back and this side could not beat them, Schwarz would definitely come forward to plead for him.

After all, we are good friends.
