The fighting is fierce in Malacca, and the Han people are also revolting in the territory of their ally Aceh to seek independence. So what is the Governor of Batavia doing?
He is guarding against the Wandan Kingdom!
As early as when the Datong navy plundered Dutch merchant ships, the Banten Kingdom began to jump. Instead of attacking Batavia directly, they caused friction at the Matalan border. The British also took the opportunity to send troops to join in the conflict.
Due to the continuous suppression of the Netherlands, the British power in Java was very weak. It did not even bother to station warships. There were only a few civilian personnel and 16 British army soldiers in the castle near Banten.
Why not attack the Netherlands instead of attacking the Netherlands?
Because Mataram is currently the Sudan and chose to cooperate with the Netherlands, which seriously violated the interests of Banten and the United Kingdom!
Just when Sultan Amanggulat I of Matalan sent people to the Netherlands for help, and the Netherlands sent 500 troops to help, an uprising broke out in Matalan. The indigenous noble Truno Joyo raised the banner of fighting against Dutch oppression.
Thousands of troops were gathered to attack the capital of Matalan.
These rebels are also interesting. Their slogan is to fight against the Dutch, but they do not attack the Netherlands at all. Instead, they attack their own capital.
Such a nonsense situation occurs because the Netherlands and Malaysia are mortal enemies!
Madaram's predecessor, Sultan Ledeng Langsang, was also a heroic ruler. He twice led an army to besiege Batavia.
After the defeat, Langsang began to cultivate his health. He reformed the domestic calendar, reformed the tax system, encouraged maritime trade, and seriously developed the economy. He planned to develop the army and navy after becoming stronger, and eventually have a decisive battle with the Dutch.
It is a pity that although this hero has achieved remarkable results in domestic affairs and made Ma Dalan rich and powerful, he has a successor who is greedy for enjoyment.
After Amon Goulart I succeeded to the throne, relying on the abundant treasury left by his father, he began to build palaces, collect and buy exotic beauties, and spend all day in the palace, arrogant and luxurious. Within a few years, the treasury was empty, so he began
Excessive expropriation.
Coupled with the invasion of the Netherlands and Britain, Matalan lost control of its shipping, trade declined, and production languished.
The local nobles in the country were already very dissatisfied. Instead of trying to appease them, Amangoulart I took the initiative to grant the Dutch the right to purchase spices and used the Dutch army to suppress the domestic rebellion.
Even if an uprising doesn't break out now, it will happen in a few years.
Historically, the aristocratic rebel army not only captured the capital, but also controlled the entire coastal area of East Java. The tyrant Amanggulat I was also killed by the rebels. This guy's son once again used the Netherlands to suppress the rebellion, at the cost of a horse.
From then on, the Blue Country became a vassal of the Netherlands and also ceded part of its territory to the Netherlands.
"Your Majesty the Governor, the rebels have captured Semarang, and the Sultan of Matalan once again asked for rescue. The Sultan promised that as long as he helps him destroy the rebels, Matalan is willing to become a client state of the Netherlands."
"Semarang is a big city, how could the rebels fight so fast?"
“The Tang people in Semarang joined the rebels.”
"Tang people, Tang people, these damn Chinese again!"
Fan Delin felt uncomfortable when he heard words like "Tang people" and "China". There were so many bad things related to China that he couldn't leave office safely and had to make all kinds of disgusting things.
people.
In fact, the Chinese in Semarang announced that they would join the Matalan Uprising Army. The reason had nothing to do with race, but had a lot to do with religion!
In order to gain power and please the Dutch, the tyrant Sultan of Madaram actually attacked the local sectarian forces while condoning Dutch missionaries to spread Christianity. This move angered the green believers across the country. This uprising,
It is tantamount to a tripartite alliance between the sect, the nobles and the people.
Wherever the rebel army passed, there was no need to fight at all. Sects, nobles and people from all over the country came to help.
And almost all the Chinese in Semarang are Green Christians!
This was also Zheng He's supply base. The Chinese converted to the Green Sect, and Zheng He made great efforts.
Zheng He's voyage in Southeast Asia was also a journey to spread the Green religion. Champa, Old Port, and Semarang were Zheng He's three major missionary bases, and the local leaders he appointed were all Green believers.
Those Chinese who revolted in Palembang before were all Green believers!
Sister Shi, the second Ming Dynasty envoy to Old Port, had an adopted son named Sunan Jili. With the help of Sister Shi, this person actively opened up Chinese parishes.
Not only did he preach in Sumatra, he even developed the sect's power to Java, and was revered by later generations of believers as "the greatest of the nine Javanese Green Sages."
Even though the Shi family in Palembang is not famous, as long as the name "Binachi" is revealed, the green believers in Sumatra and Java, whether Chinese, indigenous or Arabs, will pay more or less to the Shi family.
Divide into thin noodles.
The honorific title of the second sister Shi is "Mrs. Benazhi Shi".
Benachi, meaning leader, was once the spiritual leader of the Nanyang Green Cultists.
The Chinese leaders in Palembang were originally the ancestors of the Liang family. The ancestors of the Shi family served as propaganda envoys. It was purely because the Shi family was the first to join the religion, and thus gained Zheng He's respect!
"Leave 500 soldiers to garrison Batavia, and the rest of the army will march towards Semarang!" Vanderlin immediately ordered.
Semarang is too important and must be saved.
The capital of the Matalan Kingdom is called Pasar Gede, which is near Surakarta (Chinese name "Solo") in later generations. This is the core area of the Matalan Kingdom, where a large amount of spices are produced, and all goods must be shipped there.
Only in Semarang can it be shipped and transported to Batavia by sea.
Once Semarang is lost, nearly half of the spices produced in Mataram will no longer be sold to the Dutch.
Just when the Dutch army was about to go to quell the rebellion, the news from Malacca finally reached Batavia, and it was Kuang Hong who sent a ship to deliver the message.
“Malacca is gone? Aceh has become a vassal of China? The Chinese in Palembang rebel and become independent?”
A series of news left Vanderlin at a loss.
The Chinese have occupied Malacca. Will they bring the group of dogs they collected and join forces from various countries to attack Batavia?
Vanderlin's vest felt cold at this moment, and he quickly stopped the counter-rebellion troops and stayed to defend Batavia. As for the Banten and British coalition forces, which were attacking the Matalan border, he could no longer care about such trivial matters.
"Tell the messenger, please come to Batavia and I will negotiate with him again." Vanderlin said to the messenger.
A few days passed, and before Kuang Hong came over to negotiate, the prince of the Matalan Kingdom fled to Batavia first.
This prince had succeeded to the throne halfway, namely Armand Goulart II. He faced Van der Linde and cried: "Mr. kind and generous governor, please send troops quickly, I will agree to any conditions you have!"
Fandelin was puzzled: "The city of Pasar Gede is so strong, how come it was breached by the rebels?"
Amon Goulart II explained: "Before the rebels came, the imam of Pasha Gede incited the believers to rebel! My father had been killed by the brutal believers, so I ran as fast as possible.
Escaped from the capital by luck."
Vanderlin was speechless and felt sorry.
Van der Linde had a very good impression of the dead Sultan. This Sultan was an enlightened man who actually allowed the Dutch to build churches in the capital of Matalan and allowed missionaries to spread Christianity freely.
Such a good Green Cult monarch, it was so rare that he was killed by the rebels.
Fandelin comforted him and said: "Don't worry, I will send troops to help you restore the country, but it is not the time yet. I must first deal with the Chinese threat. I will send 5 soldiers to go with you to the western region of Matalan."
, you try to gather King Qin’s army in the name of the Sultan.”
Armand Goulart II hesitated to speak, mentally cursing the eighteenth generation of Van der Linde's ancestors.
Where can he summon King Qin's army?
Nobles everywhere rebelled one after another, and the patriarchs of various dioceses also mobilized believers to help the rebellion. If he showed up to summon the army, wouldn't he go back and die?
Armand Goulart II said: "Mr. Governor, I think we should stay here first and stay in Batavia to issue orders. I will wait for you to resolve the affairs, and then we will go to retake the capital together. I...I am willing to take Burang
An area, all given to the Netherlands, as a gift from the Netherlands to help me regain my country!
Vanderlin's eyes shone when he heard this. It was an important spice producing area. If he could obtain it and take Mataram as a vassal, such a great achievement could barely offset his sin of losing Malacca.
Fandelin said with great energy: "Dear Sultan, I will definitely help you restore your country!"
Armand Goulart II, like his tyrant father, was also a man who was greedy for pleasure. His own capital was captured by the rebels, but he was able to stay in Batavia and have fun every day, arranged by the Dutch.
In the residence, there was singing, dancing, eating, drinking and playing with women.
He believed in the strength of the Dutch army. As long as the Netherlands sent troops, they would definitely kill those rebels!
As for betraying national interests and cutting off land, Amon Goulart II didn't mind it. uuReading www.uukanshu.com Anyway, Ma Daran's territory is very large, and cutting off some of it is nothing, as long as he can go back
Just be the Sultan.
He seems to have forgotten that when his ancestors founded the country, the country was so small. When his grandfather succeeded to the throne, civil strife broke out and the country fell into divisions.
It was my grandfather and Xian Xiang who turned the tide, not only quelling the civil strife, but also expanding the territory several times.
Don't worry, Zaimai Ye Tian, go to hell!
But it was said that Kuang Hong came from Malacca and did not go directly to Batavia. He went to Palembang to meet with the Chinese leaders there.
After two days of shopping, Kuang Hong felt mixed.
The faces of the people were Chinese, the dialect was Fujian and Cantonese, and the clothes and buildings were all Chinese. But the mosque there made Kuang Hong a little uncomfortable, and almost all Han people believed in the Green Religion.
In this regard, Kuang Hong could not express his dissatisfaction, so he could only leave angrily and come by boat to negotiate with the Dutch.
The conditions he proposed made Vanderlin very angry.
First, Malacca belongs to China.
Second, the Netherlands terminated its alliance with Aceh, and Aceh became a vassal state of China.
Third, the Netherlands gives up its exclusive right to purchase spices from Aceh and gives up its right of priority to purchase spices from Matalan.
Fourth, the Netherlands paid compensation of 10,000 taels of silver.
Fifth, the Netherlands allowed the Han Chinese in Batavia to have the freedom to live and leave, and no longer imposed heavy additional taxes on the Han Chinese in Batavia.
Sixth, the Netherlands recognizes Taiwan as Chinese territory.
