Chapter 729 The Last Calm
The outline has been decided, and everyone discussed the details again.

Because the Dutch's rule is too simple and rude, the details of the uprising are simpler than the outline.

The Dutch can only rely on them to communicate with the Chinese in the city, and there are not many Dutch people who really understand Chinese, let alone ordinary soldiers.

Every Lei Zhenlan and Jiabidan are similar to Baochang, Jiachang, Lizheng, etc., except that there are slightly more people in charge.

He is very familiar with his own area, and if he gathers people together, it is estimated that even if he says in front of the Dutch soldiers that he will kill the Dutch, the average Dutch soldiers will not understand.

However, the primary goal of these people is the Governor's Mansion.There are files related to their future fate.

After discussing with them, Lian Fuguang said: "You wait here for a while, and I will discuss it with the 'people from the north'. If it is feasible, then we will do it."

At this time, he was not afraid of these people going to inform him.

Being Jiapidan and Lei Zhenlan is all for myself.There were many whistleblowers before, it was because the Dutch were strong, and the rule seemed to be difficult for a long time, so of course they had to report to please the Dutch.

Now that the Dutch are obviously dying, who would foolishly sacrifice themselves for the company?
These Lei Zhenlans were also intimidated by Lian Fuguang, they just felt that Lian Fuguang had already connected with the people from the imperial court, and of course it was impossible to ask more questions at this time.

On the contrary, I felt that since I was really connected to the line, my future fate might not be so miserable.

After resigning from these people, Lian Fuguang changed his expression and went to find his younger brother and Wang Wu.

When he entered the house, Wang Wu was in Batavia, but he was drinking tea there calmly, as if he had a chance to win, and he didn't seem to care about Lian Fuguang going to inform him.

Seeing Lian Fuguang come back, Wang Wu took a sip of his tea and said calmly: "Master Jiapidan, this time I got the news from the Dutchman, and finally made a choice?"

With the words "Master Jiabidan", Lian Fuguang hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, forgive me, I have broken the villain. The villain just called together the Lei Zhenlan in the city and explained his interests to them. The villain made a mistake before, but now he has repented..."

Lian Fuguang was very well-behaved at this time, and he knew very well that now was not the time to bargain.

People are knives and I am fish.The current self is not qualified to ask Wang Wu: Hey, I took Batavia in a rebellion, will the court punish me for my crime?Will it still allow me to continue to be a petty officer in Batavia or something?

If you ask that, then you are looking for trouble.

Because according to Wang Wu's intention, whether or not they rioted will not affect the imperial court's capture of Batavia.

Selling charcoal in the snow is eligible for bargaining.

Selling flowers on the icing is meaningless.

So he talked about how to prepare the plan for the uprising, and then asked: "It's just, how long will it take for the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court to arrive in Bacheng? The Tang people in the city are mostly civilians, and the Dutch don't allow Tang people to serve as soldiers. Although they are brave, but Chaos fighting in the city is fine, but if the Dutch fight back, they may not be able to resist."

"Since we have repented, we also have the consciousness to thank our sins with death. However, if the imperial court's heavenly soldiers come to make trouble, we can still cooperate and open the door to seize the city. If the incident is early, I am afraid that we will not be able to help the imperial court. I'm busy, I missed a big deal."

When Lian Fuguang talked about the plan just now, he emphasized his own role, and spent a lot of time on how to persuade those Lei Zhenlans to repent.

Wang Wu was well aware of this, and thought that no matter how many reasons he said, it would not be as effective as saying that the imperial court's fleet of more than a dozen battleships had destroyed the East India Company's navy.Do you still need your efforts to persuade?

But he didn't sarcastically debunk it anymore. He listened to this muddle-headed plan that was not considered a plan in the eyes of professional staff, and he didn't pick any thorns.

Since Lian Fuguang asked when the imperial army would arrive, Wang Wu said, "You can rest assured. The reason why the Marquis of Jing gave you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds anyway was because he was afraid that the Dutch would slaughter before they broke the city. "

"Throwing rats is a taboo, so is it possible to really break this vessel?"

"Just do it, sooner rather than later."

"I also have three or forty people in my hand. Although there are not many people, they all have some skills. If there is a difficult place to attack, we will take action."

Lian Fuguang hurriedly said: "Since that's the case, then I'll do it now."

"Okay. Goodbye!"

Wang Wu nodded and didn't stay. He took his people away and didn't care what Lian Fuguang and others were going to do.

As soon as Wang Wu left, Lian Fuguang hurried to find Lei Zhenlan who was anxiously waiting for news.

In front of Wang Wu, he spoke softly.In the presence of these Lei Zhenlans, she raised her bearings. First of all, she had to convince these Lei Zhenlans that she had something to do with the imperial court, so her temperament couldn't be worse.

These Lei Zhenlans also regarded Lian Fuguang as a lifesaver, seeing that Lian Fuguang came back triumphantly, the big stone in her heart fell to the ground.

Without waiting for these people to ask questions, Lian Fuguang took the initiative to say: "People from the imperial court said that it should be sooner rather than later. Moreover, the imperial court has already placed a lot of secret work in the city, so we can just do it."

After all, he said mysteriously: "I can't blame the Dutch for being so panicked, but you don't know that the Dutch soldiers led by the governor were defeated by the imperial soldiers in Cirebon!"

"The rebel army in the mountains made plans in Jingrebon to lure them into a trap, but the imperial court's heavenly soldiers ambushed them halfway. When the Dutch soldiers approached, a cannon rang out, and the ambushes came out everywhere, killing them all in one fell swoop. We are going to Bacheng."

No one knows what the situation outside the city is like now.

Just as Kapitan Lei Zhenlan monopolized the information exchange channel between the Dutch colonial government and the Chinese, even Fu Guang now monopolized the information channel between the imperial court and these Lei Zhenlans.

He was full of nonsense, and the words he used seemed to be the words commonly used in the story books of storytelling.There was a sound of cannon, and ambushes came out everywhere.

These so-called Chinese "captains" and "lieutenants" don't know how to fight at all, and they don't understand what they say. The more the language of this kind of storytelling is, the easier it is to understand.

Even Fu Guang didn't know the situation outside the city at all.

But since he is determined to do this, he will do it to the end.Just like if the imperial court does not send troops, he will fight for the Dutch to the end.

At this time, it is better to say that the Dutch outside the city have failed, which can arouse the courage and fighting spirit of these people.

These Lei Zhenlans didn't have the slightest doubt about it.

Originally, they had no way to know the outside situation, except that Lian Fuguang in front of him had "already been in contact with the imperial court, and secretly communicated with the court".

Moreover, even Fu Guang is Kapitan, the leader of the Chinese, and the highest official position that the Chinese in Southeast Asia can hold in the Dutch colonies. There is no higher position than this.

Even Kapitan, a Chinese in the capital Batavia, is determined to rebel against the Netherlands. Obviously, the situation must have reached the point where the Dutch have no chance of winning.

If you still don't believe it at this time, you are really stupid.

They didn't care much about the Dutch in the city, and they were mainly afraid of the Dutch returning from outside the city.Worried that there would be an incident here, the Dutch over there would come back to help and cut them all to pieces.

Now that the biggest worry about the future has been resolved, what is there to hesitate about?
"Do it! Do it now!"

…………

in the city.

A few years ago when the Batavian slave workers revolted, the Chinese surnamed Sun who invited his friend, the German carpenter named Schwarz, to his home was feeding the pigs in the yard.

The Chinese don't pay attention to repaying grievances with kindness, but pay attention to repaying kindness with kindness and repaying grievances with straightness.

Historically, when the Hongxi tragedy happened, the German carpenter named Schwartz smashed the head of his good friend with a rolling pin, robbed the pigs and property, and killed all the children—in the confession, he The word "good friend" was indeed used.

But "sadly", this time, the Hongxi tragedy did not happen.

So the Chinese named Sun Tao and the German carpenter named Schwartz are still very good friends.

It has been several years since the slave labor uprising in the sugar factory and the martial law in Batavia.

In the past few years, in Sun Tao's view, nothing has changed much as before.

The Chinese rebels in the Brian'an area have nothing to do with me.Because I can afford the poll tax.

Immigrating to Ceylon has nothing to do with me.Because I can afford the poll tax.

The failure of the Dutch encirclement and suppression has nothing to do with me, because the rebels in the Brian'an area can't hit Batavia either.

In Batavia, I lived a peaceful life.

Only one young child died, and the rest survived, thriving.

What a day.

The piglets born by the sow grow up, and the New Year is coming soon. They can kill pigs and eat meat to sell some money, buy some floral cloth for their wives, and buy some candy for their children.

What a day.

When you are free, call your good friends over, have a few drinks, get slightly drunk, and then go to sleep.

What a day.

I heard from my good friend Schwartz that Europe is now at war again.Thinking of Batavia's stability, I can't help but feel lucky.

What a day.

Things outside the city have nothing to do with him.

The matter of Java doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.

The Nanyang matter has nothing to do with him.

As for the whole world, in his eyes, it is actually far inferior to these few pigs in his piggery.

The only gloom in such a good day is that I heard that the rebel army outside the city actually captured Cirebon.

This made him a little worried, worried that one day the war would spread to Batavia.

The Dutch may be bad, but what if the "traitors" outside the city are worse?What if they fell in love with these pigs of theirs?

Like most middle and lower class Chinese in the city, he is afraid of change and the unknown.

Although, I heard that the slogan of the rebels or rebels outside the city is to abolish the Chinese poll tax, but whether it can be done is really a big question mark.

They are used to the days when the Dutch ruled, at least, stable and peaceful.

As for the poll tax, paying taxes for killing pigs, paying taxes for selling fish, being forced to apportion money from the Wuzhimi poorhouse from time to time, donating money when you get married, donating money when you die, and donating money to find a cemetery...

But get used to it, that's it.

He has neither the dream of getting rich overnight nor the ambition of class leapfrogging. Stability and peace are their greatest dreams.

The news of the war in Cirebon more or less cast a shadow over his heart, thinking that when he pays homage to the old God this year during the Chinese New Year, he still needs to pray, and hope that the war will not spread to Batavia.

Standing by the pigsty, Sun Tao looked at the fat pigs in the pigsty that were about to be slaughtered, thinking about how much to sell, how much to keep, which friends and relatives should send a piece of meat, and who to invite to eat after the pigs were slaughtered. year of the pig.

While thinking about these simple trivial matters in life, suddenly there were bursts of bells outside.

That was the bell of Kapitan to summon the Chinese and read out the company's laws and regulations and orders.
