Chapter 344 The Southern Expedition and the Northern War Nine Java II
In the eyes of Western colonists, the Chinese are known for their "diligence", "peace-loving" and "cowardly" by nature. But now, after experiencing the last Java war, Batavia was hit in ruins for half a cup. The Dutch people The view of the Chinese has changed.
According to the Manila Treaty between China and the Netherlands, the Dutch colony is open to all Chinese.
Peterson Kun, who re-elected the Governor, used high wages to attract Chinese people in Banten. He also gave light taxes to Chinese business courses who moved to Batavia and rewarded overseas Chinese to attract fellow villagers to Bacheng.
This policy was extremely successful. The large sailing ship from China brought a large number of Chinese immigrants. Once the Chinese obtained independent assets, they settled in Bacheng. They didn't mind intermarrying with the Balinese woman who was sent here to be slaves. The overseas Chinese population Continuously growing. Most of the overseas Chinese in Bacheng are engaged in commercial activities, from mobile vendors to fixed vendors, to retailers and wholesalers, forming a complete commercial network. The Dutch colonists implemented the policy of "dividing and conquering them" and transforming Batavia. The residents are given different legal status according to different people. Among them, the Dutch people live in the upper class, the Chinese are in the middle, and the lower class are in the indigenous people. Unlike the indigenous people who use local laws and court trials, Chinese and Europeans can adopt Dutch laws. And conduct civil litigation and trials in the Dutch court. Economically, Chinese can not only engage in various intermediary industries and commerce. Some upper-class Chinese also contract various taxes and obtain certain patents. Economic development is significantly better than indigenous people. The Dutch Governor Kun All retail businesses, including coastal trade contracting rights, are entrusted to the Chinese Kabidan (the leader). He tried to adopt the policy of "governing China with China". By appointing Chinese Kabidan, he controlled and indirectly ruled the overseas Chinese society. Li Jin Has left Batavia and officially became a shareholder of the China Company. He served as the head of the company's foreign affairs bureau and no longer serves the Dutch. At this time, although the Huatian Company's banner is still in Nanyang, it has become an ally of the China Company It's right.
Governor Kun searched among the local Chinese for a long time and found the leader of a Chinese family with a history of more than 100 years in the local area. Su Minggang was the Jiabidan. After that, Jiabidan was controlled by Su Minggang, the leading figure of the overseas Chinese and wealthy business class in Bacheng. A position. Local overseas Chinese families for their own interests.
Kapitan is considered to be the interest defender of overseas Chinese in the Dutch Governor's Office and an intermediary for official affairs. Each overseas Chinese must pay the capitulation tax in Kapitan's Office on a monthly basis and report it at least once a year. In 1618, overseas Chinese The count tax paid accounts for more than half of the total population tax and other tax income collected by the Dutch East India Company in the city. Among the 21 taxes collected by the Bacheng authorities on gambling, retail, import and export of goods, puppet shows and other industries. . Overseas Chinese contracted 17 of them. After tasting a little sweetness among the Dutch, China United's store in Batavia was deliberately ignored. The old problem of Chinese people's love of internal strife has occurred again. With the support of the Dutch, these local overseas Chinese families joined forces to boycott the monopoly trade of Chinese companies.
In fact, five years after the "Jiavan War", the Chinese have already enjoyed superior legal and economic status than the indigenous peoples in the entire northern coastal area of Java. This has aroused jealousy and strong dissatisfaction among the indigenous peoples. Many Badavies The indigenous people of Ya, Wandan and Sishui regarded the Chinese as exploiters who stole the wealth of Indonesian indigenous peoples after the Dutch. At the same time, the Chinese also became thorns in the side of the king of Madaran.
The father of the Madaran King defeated the rebels in the last Java war with the support of the Chinese company army. When the Madaran King Sudan Agong ascended the throne, he had the grand plan to conquer the entire Java and unify the entire Java. This plan was realized, that is, to conquer the Pangweitan (the eastern parts of Java) under Sulu Mayi's jurisdiction and the Madura Kingdom. These places were still in war when his father died. They were not thorough. Conquest. In the following years, they tried their best to resist the conquest of Madaran and maintain independence. But Sudan Agon's biggest enemy was the redeveloped Batavia after 1613. Before the Dutch entered Java. In addition to the Kingdom of Wandan, there are also Jakarta and Jinglibune, which remained semi-independent. At the end of the 16th century, Jakarta was no longer an important place. Because the spice trade was completely concentrated in Wandan. Although Wandan The port conditions are not as good as those of Jakarta. After the war in Java, relying on the hard work of the Chinese, Batavia's prosperity has taken away a lot of the trade share of Banten.
Sodan Agon attempted to conquer Batavia and also wanted to conquer Bandan. However, there were Chinese companies in these places. The Sultan of Jinglibu even joined forces with the Chinese to form an alliance.
Because of the Chinese company, the Dutch, the British, and the French, there are shopping malls in Banten. They all support Banten to maintain their independence. Around the time when Yin Feng launched a war against the sea ban, that is, two years ago, King Madaran. Sudan Agong wanted to capture Bandan. However, his army was defeated by the army of Bandan Prime Minister Ranna Bangla. The Chinese company and Dutch mercenaries were in the Bandan army. Sudan Agong knew this fact. The Dutch were very dissatisfied with the Chinese. He sent an envoy to Batavia occupied by the Dutch and asked the Dutch to explain this.
The Dutch understands that the goal of King Madaram is to the whole of Java. The Dutch Governor Kun tries his best to turn Sudan Agong's goal to the Chinese. He tells Madaram's messenger: The Chinese company and the Chinese are the creditors of the Dutch. Maritime trade Most of the monopoly was made by Chinese companies. Only by removing the territory of Chinese companies in Java and the Dutch had no creditors can they cooperate with Madaram.
The feudal lords of the Madaran Tu state were already very dissatisfied with the Chinese. Under the instigation of the Dutch, the Madaran King Sudan Agong was preparing to turn against the former ally China Company.
At this time, news of the war between the Chinese company and the Ming Dynasty court came. The Western colonists were overjoyed when they heard the news.
At the same time, another new player from South China Sea, the British also began the action. The British tried to build a store in Kunbeilo, Timor to stop it for the Dutch. But in 1614, they occupied the island of Ai in Java. It is said that the Dutch are now in a Java melee and have no way to deal with it for the time being.
As Chinese companies began to monopolize the trade of silk, porcelain, etc. and had already intervened in the trade of the Spice Islands. The British and Dutch joined forces at this time. The British and Dutch joined forces to suggest to the Prime Minister of Banten Turkish La Na Bangladesh. As long as the Chinese are driven away, they can regain the trade share stolen by Batavia. Moreover, the two British and Dutch companies can also provide firearms to Banten to help them fight against Madaram.
At this moment, because Madaran's offensive and trade share were taken away by Batavia, the situation in Wandan was very bad. The Business Information Department of the Chinese Company's Wandan Merchant Hall once reported that Wandan's security was very bad and residents were mixed with each other. British and Dutch sailors often make trouble and stir up trouble, attack each other, aristocratic officials, levy and do everything, and vagrants steal, flood the city. Dutch, British and Chinese shops became targets of robbery. This is simply a full manifestation of the decay of international cities. At the beginning of this year, for a whole month, Wandan fell into the terror caused by the "headhunter" of the Nanbang. They suddenly invaded their homes and cut off the heads of residents. It is said that they were the old enemy of the Wandan people in the Nanbang area. Their "king" prompted the people of Nanbang to come to hunt for the headhunter. The Wandan government had nothing to do with it. Under the instigation of the British and Dutch people, it also wanted to divert the anger of the local nobles and refugees. The Wandan Prime Minister Lana Bangladesh In May this year, the order to expel the Chinese was issued and troops were sent to attack the Chinese company's store.
The Chinese in Wandan are not united. Because there are many Chinese families with a history of more than 300 years in the area. The Chinese company's appeal here is not as good as Batavia. However, the actions of expelling Chinese in Wandan Tumen
These overseas Chinese families were driven out of the city likewise and had to retreat to Batavia under the protection of the self-defense force organized by the Chinese company's business hall.
During the same period, the king of Madaran Sudan Agon defeated the Turkish Confederate forces in the eastern part of Java in Virasono City, eastern Java. Sulumayi, Basuluan, Duban, Weirasono, Raban, Lasson, and Brun
East (on the north coast east of Duban), the alliance coalition formed by the states of Madura were extremely inadequately prepared. The soldiers suffered from hunger and were extremely tired. They were defeated by the ambitious King Sudan Agon.
Agon occupied the city of Virasono. The prefect of this city drowned by the river during the war. Sudan Agon moved the son of the dead prefect and his inhabitants to Wanyumas.
Go. This method is a strategy that Matalan often adopts against defeated cities.
His battle basically pacified eastern Java. Now, the only goal of the Madaram unifying Java Island is Batavia, Banten and Jinglibune in the west. First, we have to drive away the annoying Chinese company.
Their property. King Sudan Agong and Prime Minister Wandan attacked the Chinese almost at the same time: He slashed the first knife at the Chinese area of Semarang. This is the largest Chinese area in the area he ruled. There are many Chinese companies here.
Plantations and farms, and there was also a fortress-style shopping mall. Then he forced the Sultan of Surabaya to expel the Chinese; the Sultan of Surabaya had surrendered to the Madaram State and had to attack the overseas Chinese in the city.
The Dutch and the British provided weapons to Banten and Madaran. But they were all done secretly. In Batavia, the Dutch did not personally attack the Chinese. Because almost half of the population of Batavia is Chinese, the Dutch did not want to do it.
The entire Batavia is involved in the war. Doing so will inevitably involve one's own people. Although Batavia's Chinese company is neglected by the local overseas Chinese family, it still has great strength. At least the guards of the Chinese mall are
There were more than 800 people. When they were in a group of Chinese areas in Java, the Chinese refugees kept gathering in Batavia. The Dutch and the Chinese formed a strange peace situation here.
When Yin Feng led his army to Manila, not only Java Island, Aceh, Malacca, Spice Islands, Timor-Leste, and other places, clashes between indigenous people and Chinese people occurred. Malacca was also attacked by British, Dutch and Aceh Tu.
The joint offensive of states.
King Aceh Iskandar Muda killed his uncle who usurped the throne and became king. Iskandar Muda was an ambitious hero, just like King Madaran, and he was determined to restore the Marubache dynasty of that year.
Hegemony. On May 7, 1613, Aceh warships attacked the capital of Baschaval in Johor and occupied it. In 1615, Aceh had completely controlled Johor on the Malaysian Peninsula. Aceh and Johor united together.
Dealing with the Portuguese. In the autumn of 1615, the Acehs attacked Malacca and fought with the Portuguese army on the coast of Muar. It took three days and three nights. Finally, it retreated because it could not defeat the Portuguese army. In July 1616, King Acehs was in charge of
In the official document of King James I of England, he called himself "the invincible warrior of the world". He has been governing the country for 39 years. This singular King Aceh is very confident in the strength of his country.
Both the British and the Dutch wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese civil war to seize the Aceh colony. King Aceh also took advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese company focusing on dealing with the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban and attacking the Aceh Chinese colony. This time, the three families joined forces to fight against China, Portugal
The two companies launched an attack.
In short, when Yin Feng was preparing to attack Nanyang in Manila, Java, Aceh and Malacca were the main war zones. Nanyang was once again in war. The war camp was very clear this time. Western powers joined hands with local indigenous people to jointly deal with the Chinese company and the entire group.
Chinese.
In the early days of the war, fierce battles occurred in the Chinese areas of Semarang and Sishui. The Chinese people successfully resisted the attacks of thousands of natives under the organization of the Chinese company. However, they could only be trapped in the city or in the control area of the Chinese shopping mall. Wandan
The Chinese lacked organization and cooperation. They were basically expelled by the Wandan army. The Sultan of Jinglebune was under great pressure from King Madaram and refused to start a war with the Chinese. The Chinese scattered in various places were killed. A few overseas Chinese refugees who escaped from the day of birth
With the help of friendly indigenous people, they fled to Cialibens and Batavia one after another.
The Semarang Chinese Company Store is a stone building, like a fortress. The war is together. The Chinese people around Semarang hid in the Chinese Commercial Hall and resisted the attack of the natives with their tall stone walls.
Although there were thousands of natives without heavy firearms, the Chinese had to destroy the attacks of natives again and again with their high walls and hundreds of flintlock muskets and two small bronze cannons. However, not long ago, the Chinese businessmen
The water source of the museum was cut off. The Chinese people who had cut off the water really couldn't stand it. Under the leadership of Wu Hao, the security director of the Chinese company, broke out. The Chinese shopping mall in Semarang fell. Three thousand Chinese people were defeated during the breakout.
Kill nearly a thousand people. The rest of them helped the elderly and children, and carried their children on a long journey. Ten days later, only more than 1,000 people arrived in Jingliwen. Then, the city of Jingliwen and the Chinese shopping malls outside the city were flocked to the plantations.
Tens of thousands of Madaran troops surrounded.
The news that Li Lihua received was ten days ago. It was when the remaining Chinese in Semarang retreated to Jinglibune. Because at this time, only Batavia and Jinglibune's Chinese company store were still on the entire Java Island.
There are carrier pigeons.
After listening to Li Lihua's report, Yin Feng immediately ordered the 5th Division of Yan Siqi, who was training troops in Borneo, to attack Java Island immediately.
