Xinshun 1730

Chapter 518

Lian Fuguang felt that the Dutch would believe him.

Therefore, I hypnotized myself in my heart, saying that doing so was not entirely selfish, that I was not a villain, but rather a gentleman.

Although he was not born in the Central Plains, after all, he grew up in a Chinese family, and he can distinguish between a good person and a villain.It's not that I want to be a modest gentleman, but I am in business. I am most afraid of doing immoral things, which will cause the Buddha not to bless me, Mazu has a strong wind, Xu Zhenjun has a heavy rain, and so on.

The Dutchman would not think that he had any motive to hook up with the outside world, and he also had two Dutch lawyer friends who had a pretty good relationship.

If something goes wrong and there is a trial in the future, the Dutch speak the law, so as long as my lawyer friend helps me to speak, then I won't have any problems.

I am already a Kapitan, and the Dutch also trust me. At this time, I reported to the Dutch. In addition to protecting the interests of the Chinese in the city, I also considered myself, but I also felt that my brother should not think of him as a villain.

Lian Fuguang looked at his younger brother with some resentment, and thought to himself, you have food, clothing and property, why are you so close to those people outside?
Wanting to persuade a few more words, it can be seen that the younger brother's expression is full of disdain, and the look of ridicule is overflowing on the face, so he sighed and said: "Since you are close to Lian Huaiguan, you might as well pass on a message for me."

"They can't win against the Dutch. Isn't it ridiculous to wait for the car? At that time, it will hurt everyone. If he is really a man, or if he ruins his family wealth, he will pay poll tax for those who don't have a residence permit. "

"If you can't afford it, then take those people and jump into the sea to die. Once it's over, why bother the people in the city? At that time, the people in the city will die because of their resistance. Is it their sin?"

He still doesn't know what Lian Huaiguan is doing, but he knows that Lian Huaiguan is quite prestigious among those poor ghosts.

Those people in the sugar factory dared to beat up the Dutchman who was going to arrest them. If they hadn't been instigated by his leader, those people probably wouldn't have dared.

But I'm afraid that these people will get angry and want to resist the various unfair treatment of the Dutch, and even think about expulsing the Dutch, then the trouble will be big.

He has already reported to the governor, hoping that the governor will send troops as soon as possible to suppress the signs of "rebellion".

When Lian Jieguang heard his brother asking him to pass such a sentence, he snorted and turned to leave.

Lian Fuguang looked at his younger brother's back and thought to himself that although you think I'm a villain, I'm still your brother.If you really participated in those rebellious activities, I, as an older brother, will always protect you.With the governor, I still have a bit of a thin face.

Jieguang, Jieguang, I inform you to save you and the Chinese in the city. Why can’t you understand?

Silently respecting each other, I looked back at the head that had been hanging on the flagpole for 20 years, recalled the scene of the execution, waved sadly, and signaled the servant to drive away and go to the lawyer friend.

When we arrived, we greeted each other proficiently in Dutch, and then we got down to business.

"Mr. Claes, the sugar factory where the accident happened does belong to me. However, I have already contracted it out, and I have no knowledge of what happened there. This is the contract of the contract, with the seal of the Batavia City Council on it .”

"I hope the governor can understand that if the criminals outside the city riot without a residence permit, we will also suffer losses."

"I suggest that the governor can immediately send troops to suppress them. Capture their leaders and torture them severely. We have an old saying that when you catch a thief, you first catch the king. To catch a criminal, you must first catch their leader."

"After being caught, Batavia's laws allow punishment, right?"

William Klass is a qualified lawyer, nodded and said: "The Netherlands is legal, you can rest assured about that."

"According to the Proclamation of 1591 it is as follows:"

"One: In order to force the defendant to confess, the following instruments of torture can be used..."

"Second: If the victim did not confess, or only gave a part of the confession, the degree of punishment can be increased. The torture tools that can be used include..."

"Third: If the confession is still not made after torture, the following measures can be taken:"

"1: If torture fails to confess, torture can be repeated, and the degree of torture is more serious than the previous two."

"2: If a confession is not made under torture, or it can also be determined by a judge, if the confession is still not made under torture, it can be regarded as acquitted. However, if torture is used again, the acquittal will be decided by the judge."

"3: If there is no confession under torture, it may be converted to an 'ordinary lawsuit' and handled as a civil case."

"So, according to the law, whether to plead guilty after torture, and whether to continue the torture, still depends on the attitude of the judge."

After finishing speaking, Klaas smiled and said: "No one can resist the harshest punishment. He will definitely confess. The Netherlands is legal, and only a confession can be sentenced."

Lian Fuguang smiled and said: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful. Once their leaders are captured, they will be safe. Those rioters will disperse if they lose their leaders. This is good for Batavia. It is also my responsibility as Kapitan.”

"The judge will definitely see clearly and choose to continue using torture until he gets a confession."

After all, the two laughed in unison.

However, Lian Fuguang will not know the tragedy of his own fate in history, and it is precisely because he said that he "will definitely see the details and choose to continue to use torture until he gets a confession".

And the myth that he believed in that Holland speaks the law, and the 1591 Inquisition Act, which was applauded at this time.

He was not forgiven by the Dutch for reporting that Lian Huaiguan, one of the leaders of the uprising, was not a good person in advance.

In order to shirk responsibility, and to shift the responsibility for the massacre on the other side—not because the massacre was guilty, but because the massacre seriously affected the trade of the East India Company—they were making a fuss about Lian Fuguang.

Lian Fuguang's lawyer friend is useless, because the judge can decide whether to continue to torture until he confesses, or to acquit him.

The judge, who was trusted by Lian Fuguang, convicted Lian Fuguang in this way: Lian Jieguang was indeed one of the leaders of the uprising. The judge asked why Lian Fuguang and Lian Jieguang had a good relationship?

Lian Fuguang said, because he is my younger brother, we were born by the same mother.

The judge said: As far as you are a god-worshipping nation, brotherhood should not be harmonious.For any nation that worships idols, the brotherhood is definitely not as good as that of nations that do not worship idols and only believe in God.Therefore, because he is your younger brother, the reason why you two have a good relationship is not valid, which proves that you must have hooked up with Lian Jieguang.

But this reason seems to be too embarrassing to announce it. In addition, many Chinese in Batavia were massacred at that time. The Dutch found that they couldn’t do anything, so they had to ask Lian Fuguang to open all the shops and return the escaped people. .

In the end, the Dutch tried for three or four years, but they couldn’t find out that Lian Fuguang was guilty of having an affair with a “rebel”. It also caught up with the Austrian succession war between Britain and the West in the West Indies, which led to the shortage of sugar in Europe. A large number of Chinese cleaned up the blood before planting sugar cane, so they had to avoid the punishment of dismembering the corpse and digging out the lungs that Lian Fuguang feared most in his memory.

There are many signs that he reported the "rebels" in advance, but he was sentenced to exile in Ambon. He was originally exiled to Cape Town, but his wife's natal family spent money to change to Ambon. The property must have been divided among the governors.

The reason for the final judgment was that he was sentenced to exile in Ambon not because of what Lian Fuguang had done in this "rebellion", but because he had done nothing.

This is a classic "wear a hat and get a beating, and don't wear a hat and get a beating" verdict.

Actually the Dutchman is a very good "teacher".

I told the Chinese in Nanyang, especially those who are wealthy and stable, even those who have achieved Lei Zhenlan and Jiapitan, that it is impossible to sit on the fence or do nothing.Since you will be sentenced if you do nothing, then next time you have something to do, you should get up and do it together!

But obviously, Lei Zhenlan and Jiapidan didn't improve their memory. When the lower level riots, they will still choose the same choice as Lian Fuguang at this time, and then repeat the cycle.

Even when Lian Fuguang was sentenced, he asked another Chinese, Lei Zhenlan and Chen Zhongshe, whether he believed that Lian Fuguang didn't know?

Lei Zhenlan and Chen Zhongshe's answer can be described as a dream comeback: Although Lian Fuguang rented out the sugar factory, I understand that he knows the situation of the sugar factory.

At this time, Lian Fuguang may never have the chance to know what kind of fate he would have been.

I don't know, the governor is now timid and didn't directly kill people, and even "talked about the law and evidence" to the potential rebel leader, because Dashun won the battle in Japan, and Liu Yu led the sailors to fight with him before the war. The Dutch sailors fought and showed an aggressive posture. The governor of Batavia was scared, fearing that Dashun would find a reason to go to war.I am even more afraid that Dashun will cooperate with the UK to destroy the Dutch East India Company... Any governor of Batavia will have to remember the old story of the Holland massacring the British on Ambon Island during the Anglo-Dutch Alliance, and always beware of British retaliation .

What's more, what he hated all the time in his heart and felt that even bringing those poor ghosts into trouble would ruin them. That former friend named Lian Huaiguan who lived in the city and had a residence permit had already accepted Dashun. The "recruitment" of the imperial court.

Outside the city, in a sugar factory in the north.

The brothers beside Lian Huaiguan quietly looked at the people standing beside Lian Huaiguan.These few people are originally from it, and they have been here for several years, and they say they are here to make a living.

Those who came out to mess around, naturally could see that these people were not good at it.But the tone is very strict, no one knows what these people are here for, and it is even more impossible to know that they are a child army similar to the former Jinyiwei.

Now gathered in the sugar factory, except for the people from the imperial court, they are all good men from the Nanyang rivers and lakes.Although Lian Huaiguan is somewhat famous, there are only a few people in this group who are as famous as him.

Now some people are yelling at Lian Huaiguan, saying that Lian Huaiguan is cowardly.

Because Lian Huaiguan was "recruited", the imperial court meant that there should be no trouble, and the imperial court would come forward to resolve it.

But obviously, the few prestigious men in the crowd have no respect for the word "imperial court", and think it is bullshit at all.

"Brother Huaiguan, are you counting on the imperial court? It would be better to expect heavy rain to flood the Netherlands! What kind of bullshit is there in the imperial court? To put it bluntly, if I hadn't been persecuted by the court's dog officials and squires, Officials and gentry protect each other, will I come to Nanyang?"

"The bastards in the imperial court, if they can do things, the sun is really coming out from the west. Lu Song was slaughtered several times back then, do you think the imperial court is farting? People surnamed Li and those surnamed Zhu are all so stupid Sample."

"The Dutch are pushing too hard. The sugar can't be sold in the past few years, and all the sugar factories are laying off workers. The brothers really can't survive."

"Going back to Fujian, I have nothing. What are you doing when you go back? There is nowhere to go, and there is nothing left. It's better to do it! Take down Batavia, eat delicious food and drink hot food. If you die, you will be pulled down. Before you die, you will die vigorously. It is worse than Waiting to be captured by the Dutch to serve hard labor!"

"Wait for death! The country of death is amazing! If you are persuaded, we will do it ourselves!"
