Chapter 16 Go to Batavia
Since Gonzalovic agreed, the next thing is easy to say.
He personally sent Gonzalovich to Batavia. On the one hand, he took his sister named Maria over, and on the other hand, he wanted to see the arrangements of the Dutch in Batavia at this time and the current situation of the city.
Batavia is Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia in later generations. It is located on the northwest coast of Java Island and is the largest city in later generations in Southeast Asia.
From the 17th to the 19th centuries, this was the headquarters of the Dutch Eastern Commercial Colonial Empire. At its peak, the Dutch East India Company's vast commercial and trade monopoly rights reached west to Persia, India and Ceylon, east to the Malugu Spice Islands, and north to China and Japan. In 1619, the ambitious Yan Bidelsson Kun began to serve as the third governor of the Dutch East India Company. It was he who laid a solid foundation for the Dutch Eastern Colonial Empire. The city of Batavia was the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company established after attacking and expelling the Banten army under his leadership. It was the political foundation for the Dutch colonial rule over Java and even the entire East Indies.
The permanent occupation and management of this city temple really consumed countless funds and energy of the Dutch. At first, it was sparsely populated, lacking food supply, and no wood to build ships and houses. The surrounding areas were also desolate swamps. Rare villages were crowded with floods during the rainy season. Tigers, wild boars, rhinos and others were often present. At the same time, they were also facing hostility and threats from the local green kingdoms.
To this end, the Dutch transported huge stones from the stone yard on the Coromandel coast of India, cut teak from Zabala in East Java, collected coral stones from the local area, and recruited a large number of reliable and hard-working Chinese workers from China to establish the prototype of Batavia. It can be said that the Chinese made great contributions to the establishment of this city.
However, the Dutch did not regard Chinese as human beings at all. In their eyes, Chinese are known for being "cowardly by nature". Therefore, the Dutch first attracted Chinese to settle here with good conditions, and even kidnapped Chinese to come here and let them do business here.
However, as the number of Chinese people was large, the talent for doing business was revealed, the Dutch revealed their minions. They first imposed heavy taxes, but later, seeing that this method was not good, they wanted to transfer them all to Ceylon, and even threw them into the sea to drown.
In order to save himself, these Chinese people were led by a man named Huang Ban to prepare for an uprising, but a traitor named Lin Chu reported to the Dutch, which made the Dutch defend. In addition, the Chinese leaders of Huang Ban were too poor and they could not break through the city after being besieged for seven days. In the end, they had no choice but to scatter and flee.
Therefore, the Dutch searched and killed inside and outside the city, regardless of gender, age, and killed them when they saw them. Nearly 10,000 people were slaughtered. Only 150 people escaped by chance. There were six or seven hundred houses of Chinese people burned and robbed, and the property losses were incalculable. Because there was a river called Hongxi west of Batavia, which was one of the sites of the accident. The people killed at that time dyed the river water of Hongxi red. Therefore, it was also called the Hongxi tragedy.
After the tragedy, the Dutch were still scared and threw the culprit into prison. In 1741, the envoy was sent to China to plead for mercy. Although the envoy did not go to Beijing, the governor of Fujian Celen and the admiral Wangjun told Qianlong about this. But what did Qianlong say? The Chinese were killed as "abandoned the king's transformation" and "are born in that place, and are actually no different from the foreign people". It was "the Han race in that place, and they were sanctified from outside". Therefore, the Chinese were massacred, "the matter can be hurt, but in fact the evil is taken by oneself." The "holy dynasty" did not need to be blamed, but it was just forbidden to trade with each other.
Looking at the Dutch-style building in front of him, thinking that his ancestors suffered such harm, but the Qing Dynasty in the north had this attitude. Zhu Haitao was simply angry and wanted to turn himself into an atomic bomb and kill these Manchu wild boar skins and European beasts.
But now his strength is not enough, and he came here alone and could only act carefully.
When he arrived at the private villa located here in Gonzalovich, he first met with his mistress Emily. This Emily was such a sexy lady. She was holding a folding fan in her hand and drove away the heat from the equatorial area. She had a tall breast, and she seemed to be wearing a skirt without wearing underwear. She just hugged her when she met. I guess if there was no one around, she would have to go to bed to solve their lovesickness.
I soon saw this Gonzalovich's sister. Not to mention, this Maria is tall and graceful, with big eyes unique to European and American people, and is charming. She wears a Western pleated skirt and is like an angel descending to earth. Her figure is also very good, with a pair of soft breasts, which makes people unable to help but touch it.
When Maria heard that her brother's ship was robbed, she burst into tears. Gonzalovic hugged her and cried, but she advised her that she would have a bigger way out now after following these South Asian pirates. She persuaded her for a long time before she finally stopped crying.
However, when Maria's eyes turned red when she heard that she was going to be sent to live in a desolate and remote primitive jungle.
"Don't worry, we are going to build a new city there. It may be a little harder to start, but it will soon become a good city." Zhu Haitao said in pure Spanish.
Maria did not expect that this vulgar pirate would like this to promise her. With Gonzalovic's persuasion, she finally agreed to go to Peach Blossom Land with Zhu Haitao.
Of course, such a beautiful girl needs to be raised well. It seems that Gonzalovic is also interested. Zhu Haitao will not forget his contributions in the future.
Then Zhu Haitao and Gonzalovich carefully checked the city together. After experiencing the massacre decades ago, the number of Chinese people here is slowly recovering. It seems that the Chinese have forgotten the disaster decades ago. But Zhu Haitao knew that these Dutch people were fond of the wealth of the Chinese like a sponge. Perhaps in a while, that kind of massacre will happen, but there are no records in history books, because everyone is used to it.
The Dutch ruled the Chinese here by rewarding Kapitan. As for the current Kapitan, it is the descendant of Lin Chu, named Anthony Lin. This guy abandoned even the Chinese surname and gave him a name that was not native or foreign, and lived a life of Westerners. He also ordered that the Chinese here be prohibited from learning Chinese characters, speaking Chinese, and celebrating the Spring Festival, trying to completely integrate them.
Because of previous whistleblowers, the Dutch rewarded the family that hereditary positions in Kapitan and also won many plantations, which were the richest people here.
Zhu Haitao must cut off their family by cutting them into pieces.
