Most Chinese are rich, smart and hardworking, some are good at farming, and some are good at management. Therefore, after moving to the Java Chinese Autonomous Region, they not only brought a lot of wealth to the autonomous region, but also created the economic prosperity of the autonomous region. In addition, the East China Government also vigorously supported the Java Chinese Autonomous Region. Most of the trade with Java was completed through Semarang, and gave the autonomous region a very preferential trade policy.

In addition, Zhang Zhenxun also fully utilized his influence in Southeast Asia, fully supported the construction of the Java Chinese Autonomous Region, and increased investment in the autonomous region. Zhang Zhijun, the administrator of the autonomous region, is also a capable person. On the one hand, he was very serious about learning from the East China Government, formulating a complete legal system for the autonomous region and ensuring the execution ability of autonomous region officials. At the same time, he used the East China Government and Zhang Zhenxun to invest to vigorously carry out public construction and build ports, terminals, bridges and roads in several major cities in the autonomous region. Therefore, although the autonomous region has only been established for less than 4 years, its overall appearance has improved greatly and has shown a prosperous development momentum.

Because the East China Government and Zhang Zhenxun fully support the Java Chinese Autonomous Region, the economic and trade resources obtained by other regions of Java will be reduced. At the same time, the Chinese in Java are concentrated in the autonomous region, which naturally weakens other regions of Java. Since it is Semarang, the capital of the autonomous region, it has made great progress in all aspects in less than four years and has surpassed the capital of Java Batavia. Of course, overall, the economy of the entire Java Island has also developed considerably under the leadership of the autonomous region, but this development has nothing to do with the Dutch colonial authorities in Java.

Although the Dutch colonial authorities in Java were anxious, they were helpless in the face of such a situation, because the Java Chinese Autonomous Region itself was not scary. What was really scary was the East China Government behind it. Although both Britain and France expressed their support to the Netherlands for the Batavian authorities to curb the expansion of Java Chinese, the Netherlands, who was once a player in the World Card, knew that the promises of Britain and France were unreliable. Whoever believed would die, so they could only swallow their anger. On the one hand, they tried their best to maintain good relations with the Java Chinese Autonomous Region and try to get a share of the economic prosperity of the autonomous region; on the other hand, they tried their best to ensure the interests of the Chinese in Java, so as not to give the East China Government an excuse to interfere in Java affairs. At the same time, the Dutch colonial authorities must also strive to restrain the Java natives and not be provoked by the autonomous region.

But not all indigenous people can understand the painstaking efforts of the Dutch colonial authorities. They only see that the Java Chinese Autonomous Region is becoming more and more prosperous, and the Chinese are richer. Many indigenous people who work in farms and factories in the autonomous region, as well as those who trade with the autonomous region, can also live a good life. Most indigenous people are envious and jealous of the prosperity of the autonomous region. After all, the autonomous region is only 15,000 square kilometers, accounting for about one-nineth percent of the entire Java Island. Although the economy is developing rapidly, its size is limited, so the indigenous people can be driven are also limited. Moreover, most indigenous people have become accustomed to eating from the Chinese regularly and wanting to work hard.

Moreover, the indigenous people did not know much about the general situation of the world. Although a few years ago, the East China Government's Java protection of overseas Chinese had fought with several indigenous tribes and destroyed two tribes, most of the indigenous people had forgotten about it for 5 or 6 years. Moreover, the Chinese Autonomous Region in front of them was a prosperous scene, and there were so much wealth contained in it. If one vote could be done, it would be enough to make the tribe eat for several years. So the 5 or 6 tribes, despite repeated warnings from the Dutch colonial authorities, joined forces to attack the autonomous region.

But the Chinese are indeed different from the past. The autonomous region is not only prosperous and prosperous in economy, but also established its own army with the help of the East China Government, and formed a total of 2 regiments and formed an artillery battalion with a total of about 6,000 people. It was also trained by military instructors sent by the East China Government. It also purchased a large number of weapons and equipment from the East China Government. Not only were there all kinds of rifles, pistols, machine guns, mortars and other light weapons, but there were 20 75mm field artillery. Therefore, although the number of troops in the autonomous region is not large, it should not be underestimated.

The indigenous tribes are only equipped with a small number of rifles, while most of the indigenous soldiers use cold weapons such as big swords and spears, and they have basically not received any formal military training. They are not much different from rural armed battles when fighting, so they naturally cannot be opponents of the autonomous region's army.

As a result, as soon as the two sides fought, the indigenous tribes were beaten by the autonomous region's army, with countless casualties and animals scattered. However, the autonomous region did not stop. With the support of the administrator Zhang Zhijun, he launched a retaliatory conquest of the tribes participating in the attack on the autonomous region. He planned to use this battle to prevent the indigenous people from Java from ignoring the existence of the autonomous region. At the same time, the Office of the East China Government in the Autonomous Region warned the Dutch colonial authorities not to support these tribes.

After being hit by the autonomous region, these indigenous tribes remembered that the warnings of the Dutch colonial authorities were not unreasonable, but it was too late to regret them now. In the face of the autonomous region's attack, they could only ask for help from the Dutch colonial authorities and requested the colonial authorities to intervene to prevent the autonomous region's attack on the tribe.

But now, the Dutch colonial authorities are under pressure from the East China Government, and on the other hand, they are very annoyed that these indigenous tribes do not listen to their repeated advice. At that time, they were very thoughtful and repeatedly advised these tribes. Now they are different from the past. The Chinese have a backer and must not be provoked to the autonomous region. However, these tribes are all in the ears. Now they have caused great trouble, but they have to help them wipe their butts. They cannot go to this muddy water, so they can only ignore the indigenous tribes' request for help.

Without the support of the Dutch colonial authorities, the indigenous tribes naturally could not resist the attack of the autonomous region's army. As a result, two tribes were captured by the autonomous region's army. The tribe's chiefs, Ji Shi and other senior personnel were either killed or captured. Seeing this, several other tribes did not dare to resist anymore, and had to surrender to the autonomous region one after another.

In order to deal with these tribes, the autonomous region adopted the policy of the East China Government in Borneo. In the famous discussion, the existence of these tribes is still retained, but it belongs to the autonomous region and supports the new puppet chief executives. However, the tribe's wealth is evenly distributed to each indigenous person, and arranged indigenous persons to farm, collect taxes, or work in the autonomous region. In this way, the new high-level leaders are stronger in status and property than ordinary indigenous persons, but they are also limited in strength. And most importantly, the new tribe's senior leaders basically have no chance to control the entire tribe. Therefore, to maintain their power and status in the tribe, they can only rely on the autonomous region and try their best to serve the autonomous region. The autonomous region can take the opportunity to gradually transform the tribe into a modern village and include it in the jurisdiction of the autonomous region.

As a result, the autonomous region conquered 6 tribes in succession, and its actual jurisdiction expanded by nearly 3,000 square kilometers, and its population increased by more than 100,000. The Dutch colonial authorities did not expect such a result. Although they knew that this was the autonomous region and used the excuse to expand its sphere of influence, they could do nothing, because the autonomous region did not annex these tribes. In the famous discussion, these tribes still existed according to law, but only depended on the autonomous region, which is a very common thing in Java. Although the Dutch colonial authorities understood what this dependence was, they could not find a reason for interference. Moreover, the pressure from the East China government also made the Dutch colonial authorities dare not do anything, so they had to bear this breath again and warn other indigenous tribes not to be provoked by the autonomous region again, otherwise these tribes would be the lessons of the past.

In fact, there was no need for the Dutch colonial authorities to warn again. The result of this struggle had caused great shock to other indigenous tribes in Java, making them finally understand that the Chinese were not just like before and could be slaughtered. They had organized themselves to form a united whole, not only with huge wealth, but also with powerful forces to protect wealth. Now even the Dutch dared to provoke Chinese again, so they really need to be careful in the future.

In fact, after the Far East War, the living conditions of Chinese people in Southeast Asia have been greatly improved. After all, after the victory of the Far East War, the trend of the East China government growing into a regional power in the Far East was inevitable. Therefore, except for the Netherlands, other countries with colonies in the Far East, Britain, France, and the United States, dare not discriminate against Chinese people in the colonies. Bi Jing and they all knew that the East China government attached great importance to Chinese people in Southeast Asia and regarded them as citizens. Once an incident of oppressing Chinese occurs, the East China government will definitely interfere. So all countries have begun to adjust their policies. On the one hand, they have cancelled various restrictions on Chinese people in the colonies and given relatively fair treatment to Chinese people; on the other hand, they have tried their best to suppress the indigenous oppression of Chinese people, so as not to give the East China government an excuse to interfere in colonies.
