Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 336 Establishment of the Maritime Association
In the next two days, Zhao Wen will mainly do two things.

The first thing is to appease the people first, and the second thing is to carry out a large-scale purge of the red barbarians and natives in the city of Batavia.

During the process of clearing and suppressing, as long as they encountered red barbarians who were resisting with weapons, they would be shot dead on the spot. As for the red barbarians in the inner city of Batavia, they were all captured by Zhao Wen.

These Hongyi captives, Zhao Wen would not kill them directly.

The future construction of Batavia will be inseparable from them, and it is more cost-effective to let them die on the construction site than to be directly beaten to death.

When these things were almost done, Zhao Wen built a huge high platform in the center of the Ming people's residential area.

The main purpose of Zhao Wen building this high platform is to judge Putmans, Babur and Uncle Liu.

The common people suffered heavy losses, and the common people were already furious with the three of them, and only a public trial could vent their anger.

There are three pillars on the high platform, and Putmans, Uncle Liu and Babur are tightly tied to the pillars.

All three of them had rags stuffed in their mouths.

Putmans had already seen what he was about to face, and he whimpered non-stop towards Zhao Wen.

Babur's body kept shaking, and he was so frightened that he peed all over the floor.

As for Uncle Liu, the traitor, he has fainted several times from fright.

No one can deal with death with equanimity, let alone these few people.

Zhao Wen stood in front of them, pointed at the three people behind them, and shouted to the people gathered below: "These people have done a lot of evil on Batavia and oppressed the people wantonly. Today is their end. What wrong do you have to do?" You can speak out, and I will vent your anger for you."

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, the people below the high platform became excited.

"Damn old thief Liu, what I hate the most is this old thief Liu, who betrayed us. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have killed so many people." A middle-aged woman pointed at Uncle Liu and cursed loudly.

In this incident, nearly 8000 of the more than 1000 young and strong were killed in battle, and more than 1000 were injured.

If it wasn't for Zhao Wen's timely arrival, the number of deaths would probably increase even more.

"That's right, this old thief Liu, thanks to the fact that we thought he was a highly respected person before, but we didn't expect him to be a dog who eats inside and outside.

General, we don't have any other requirements, we just hope that this old thief Liu can be executed quickly, and use his head to pay homage to the spirits of those who are born in heaven. "

"That's right, put him to death Ling Chi, Ling Chi to death."

The people below suddenly became excited. They pointed at Uncle Liu and kept shouting.

Zhao Wen turned around, looked at Uncle Liu who was shaking like a chaff sieve, and took out the torn rag from his mouth.

"What else can you say?" Zhao Wen looked at Uncle Liu and said coldly.

Uncle Liu listened to the shouting and cursing below, and wanted to refute, but he couldn't say it.

No matter when, the Chinese people hate the traitor the most.

Uncle Liu looked down at the people who wanted to eat him raw, and cold sweat kept pouring out of his head.

"This general, I, I, and I were just fascinated by ghosts for a while, and I really can't help myself." Uncle Liu lowered his head and defended himself.

However, now his defense is really so weak.

"Fuck, you shit-like person, you still can't help yourself, why is your face so thick?" A middle-aged woman with sharp ears below heard Uncle Liu's voice, and she directly spit a mouthful of thick phlegm upwards, non-stop cursed.

Zhao Wen turned around, looked at the people behind him, and said to Uncle Liu: "Look at what you have done, what a pity, even if God can spare you, these people will not forgive you ah."

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he stuffed the rag into Uncle Liu's mouth again.

"Everyone wants to execute old thief Liu Lingchi, I think this is the best way.

However, in order to allow you to better vent your dissatisfaction, I have decided to hand over Ling Chi's rights to you.

In other words, each of you will have a knife for the Lingchi punishment of old thief Liu. Zhao Wen looked at the people below and shouted loudly.

The eyes of the people lit up, and their faces were full of excitement.

Is there anything more refreshing than slashing an enemy?
"The general is just, the general is kind. The general's method is really good."

"That's right, the general is really too righteous."

All of a sudden, the people below all praised Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Daniu and others who were standing below and maintaining order, and then said, "It's not too late, let's start from the left, and from now on, one by one, when it's your turn, you will First go to Zhao Daniu's side and line up, remember, don't mess up, come one by one."

Zhao Wen pointed to Zhao Daniu on the left, and shouted at them.

"We must obey the general's arrangement."

All of a sudden, the people below were all excited.

A young man closest to Zhao Daniu stood in front of Zhao Daniu with an excited expression on his face.

Zhao Daniu pointed at this young man, then pulled out his long knife from his waist and handed it to him.

"Now you are the first one, remember, don't cut too hard, save some for the people behind." Zhao Daniu looked at this young and strong man, and whispered.

This young man took the long knife from Zhao Daniu's hand, nodded heavily, and then walked towards the high platform.

When he came in front of Uncle Liu, he took off Uncle Liu's clothes first.

He put the long knife in his hand on Uncle Liu's chest and pulled it down suddenly.

A piece of flesh on his chest was directly cut off by him, and blood flowed out instantly.

Uncle Liu's mouth was stuffed tightly with a rag. He wanted to scream but couldn't, so he kept whining.

After cutting the knife, the young man saluted Zhao Wen who was standing beside him, and then walked down.

As soon as he walked down, a middle-aged woman came up, and Zhao Wen handed her the long knife in his hand.

The middle-aged woman who would not even dare to kill a chicken seemed to be a different person this time. With the long knife in her hand, she cut off Uncle Liu's Xia Sanlu.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Wen couldn't help tightening his legs.

The thing under Uncle Liu's crotch fell to the ground, and his legs were stained red with blood.

Because of the severe pain, Uncle Liu passed out directly.

Ling Chi Uncle Liu lasted for a long time. At the end, Uncle Liu turned into a pile of minced meat. How could he look like a man?
But even so, there were still many people who did not act. In this way, Zhao Wen pulled Putmans and Babur out, and asked the people to execute them according to the method just now.

Half a day later, Putmans, Uncle Liu and Babur had all been executed.

After finishing this matter, Zhao Wen organized the people and began to rebuild the city of Batavia.

When searching Batavia City before, Zhao Wen found quite a lot of food, gold, silver and spices in the inner city where Hong Yi lived.

The searched food was distributed to these people by Zhao Wen, and the gold and silver were used by Zhao Wen to rebuild Batavia.

Those captives came in handy when rebuilding Batavia, and they were perfect for the job.

When rebuilding Batavia, Zhao Wen was not idle. He sent out all his troops, except those who stayed in Batavia, with Batavia as the center. Sweeping away towards the surroundings.

The whole of Java was wiped out by Zhao Wen's troops, and all the red barbarians on it were completely cleaned up by Zhao Wen.

The remaining warships and armed merchant ships of the Hongyi were either destroyed by powerful artillery or captured.

It can be said that the Hongyi's power in Java was uprooted by Zhao Wen. As for the Hongyi in other parts of Southeast Asia, they are now alone, and they can't make any waves.

So Zhao Wen put them down first, and dealt with them one by one when he freed his hand later.

The current Batavia and Java can be said to be firmly in the hands of Zhao Wen.

After all, Batavia is Hongyi's stronghold, as long as Batavia is captured, things will be much easier.

As for the natives in Java, Zhao Wen didn't care about this at all.

This group of aborigines is very backward. In some places, the aborigines don't even have clothes. How can they compete with Zhao Wensuo?
Time flies by, and the sixth year of Chongzhen has come to April.

And Batavia City has almost been rebuilt as a whole, except for the remaining captives, there is no longer any red barbarians to be seen.

After the reconstruction of the Batavia port was completed, a very important matter was placed on Zhao Wen's desk.

That is, now that Batavia has been occupied by Zhao Wen, it can't just be occupied, but also develop business to make money.

Originally, Batavia was a very busy port, and countless merchant ships loaded and unloaded here every day, but these merchant ships were basically Hongyi merchant ships.

But after Zhao Wen captured Batavia and wiped out the Hongyi, the port of Batavia was almost empty.

If benefits cannot be generated, then Zhao Wen's profit from this dispatch of troops will be greatly reduced.

Zhao Wen sat in the lobby of a Chinese-style building, which was the governor's yamen that Zhao Wen built.

In the future, this will be Zhao Wen's colony, and Zhao Wen also intends to completely occupy Batavia and Java.

Looking at the people in the hall, Zhao Wen frowned and said, "Now Batavia has been completely occupied by us, but the port is now empty, which is not acceptable.

We have to develop. Now except for Batavia, the number of Ming people in other places is pitifully small, which is not good for us.

We will organize the landless people of Ming Dynasty to immigrate here, and we will also organize merchant ships to come here to sell goods. "

"But now we have killed all the Hongyi in Java. The merchant ships in the port were basically Hongyi's merchant ships. Where can we get merchants?" Zhao Daniu said in a low voice.

Hearing Zhao Wen's words, Zheng Yiguan couldn't help thinking of someone, and that person was Liu Changchun.

"My lord, I think of someone who should be of great help to others." Zheng Yiguan said suddenly.

Zhao Wen looked at Zheng Yiguan and asked, "Who? Tell me and listen."

"My lord, the man I'm talking about is Liu Changchun, a well-known businessman in Fujian, and a respectable figure among the gentry and businessmen in Fujian.

This family's ancestors were all sea merchants, but after so many years, Hongyi has controlled this place, and his family's benefits have been decreasing day by day.

Coupled with Hongyi's growing strength, he had to give up the business here.In the past, I could still run this way, but in the past few years, I can only run to the Korean Wa country.

I think, or we can use him to contact merchants in the southeast coast and let them come here to do business. " Zheng Yiguan said.

Zhao Wen knocked on the table beside him, and asked involuntarily: "Is this person you are talking about okay? Running a sea merchant is different from others. The first line of sea merchants is to be courageous and have a family background."

"My lord, don't worry at all, this man is not so courageous." After speaking, Zheng Yiguan told the story of Liu Changchun looking for him.

Hearing Zheng Yiguan's voice, Zhao Daniu couldn't help thinking of the gentry he met in the middle of the night when he went to pick up Zheng Yiguan, and from what Zheng Yiguan said, this Liu Changchun seemed to be the gentry who came to see him that night.

"I see. I seem to have seen the person Brother Zheng mentioned. That night he brought a few boxes and said he wanted to visit me, but I refused." Zhao Daniu suddenly realized.

As soon as Zhao Wen patted the table, a gleam of joy appeared on his face.

"This Liu Changchun is really brave enough, I like it." Zhao Wen laughed loudly, and then said: "I will leave this matter to you, you must get this Liu Changchun to Batavia for me Come.

You can tell him that if he does a good job, maybe I will sell him a treasure ship in the future and send a fleet to escort him to Europa for business. "

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something again. He thought for a moment, and then said, "I think we can establish a maritime association."

"Maritime Association? What is this?" Everyone in the hall was confused when they heard Zhao Wen's new term.

Even Zheng Yiguan, who made his fortune by relying on maritime merchants, was a little puzzled.

Zhao Wen looked at everyone's puzzled looks, and smiled, "Actually, this Maritime Chamber is not a mysterious thing, it's just an organization.

This Maritime Association is not difficult to understand, it is me who takes the lead to unite all maritime merchants.

To put it bluntly, it is something similar to a business gang.This is a bit like organizations like Shanxi Merchants and Huai Merchants. "

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, Zheng Yiguan wanted to understand what the Maritime Association Zhao Wen was talking about.

"Your Excellency, what you mean is to form something like a merchant gang and turn these merchants into your own use." Zheng Yiguan looked at Zhao Wen and said slowly.

Zhao Wen nodded, "That's right, that's how it is, but it's not all like that.

The main purpose of the Maritime Association I formed is to play a regulating role.

Members who join the Maritime Association will be exempted from certain fees when purchasing goods or passing through my territory in the future.

If you are not a member of the Maritime Association, if you want to do business in my territory, it is impossible.

Of course, to join the Maritime Association, you must obey my orders. "
