Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 459

Knowing that the Dutch warships pretended to be pirates to rob the Deming fleet, Zhu Youjian was furious and decided to teach the colonists a profound lesson.

As a time traveler, Zhu Youjian is very clear about the history of Dutch colonists massacring the people of Ming Dynasty. At that time, Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to deal with the colonists.

It is different now, the Daming Ocean Navy has formed a certain scale.

Hitting any country in the world is no longer an impossible task.

The Ming people are the most industrious people in the world. As long as they are given the opportunity, the Ming people will use their hardworking hands to create huge wealth without fear of hardships.

In addition, the traditions of the Ming people will hardly change. No matter where they go, they will bring the civilization of 5000 years, that is, the Han culture.

When it comes to Batavia, we have to mention the country of Indonesia (we all know this country, because the author calls him an aboriginal because he is afraid of violating the rules)

It can be said that this country has a history of opposing Ming Dynasty, starting from the Dutch colonization of Jakarta.

They massacred the Ming people many times, which is one of the countries that hurt us the most after the Wa country.

From the 16th century when the Dutch colonists made the Hongxi tragedy, until the 20th century.They raised their butcher knives at the Ming people countless times.

The Hongxi Massacre, the massacre of Ming people by the Dutch colonial authorities in Batavia City, Java (now Jakarta), was called the Hongxi Massacre because there was a river in the west of the city, named Hongxi, which was one of the places where the incident occurred.

When the Dutch colonists occupied Jakarta in 1619, the local labor force was scarce. The Dutch colonists used all means to lure overseas Chinese from all over the country, and even went to the southeast coast of China to rob people for their service.

After the colonists came to Southeast Asia, the status of the Ming people began to decline, but the Dutch colonists also relied on the Ming people to contract projects for the development of Batavia.

The authorities were also very satisfied with the brick-making craftsmanship of the Ming people. In order to "build Batavia into the largest city in the entire East India", the authorities did everything possible to recruit Ming people.

Ming people came to Bacheng continuously.The authorities began to restrict the entry of the population, and stipulated that the applicants must go through application and approval procedures to enter.

But with little effect, Ming employers continued to introduce Ming coolies by bribing officials, and the Ming population in Batavia city has increased dramatically since its initial construction.

The colonists began to be jealous of the role played by the Ming people in economic development, fearing that they would unite with the local people to resist colonial rule, and instead adopted strict restrictions on entry, and even implemented a policy of excluding Ming people.

After the Ming people paid a lot of manpower, material resources, and even their lives, Batavia gradually became the commercial center of Asia. With their hard work, the Ming people have become one of the wealthiest groups in Batavia.

At this time, the colonial authorities were already planning to harvest Ming people’s leeks. They first framed Ming people as thieves and ordered the arrest of those accused of being thieves.

Many innocent Ming people were either tortured and killed or thrown into the sea. The Ming people in the city fled out of the city one after another, and the coolies sent to Ceylon would be thrown into the sea after boarding the ship.

So the coolies refused to board the ship, and more than 5000 coolies gathered near the Gandaria sugar factory. Huang Ban was elected as the leader and prepared to defend himself in an attempt to save himself.

However, a traitor named Lin Chu informed the colonial authorities.The colonists launched a large-scale massacre on the grounds that the Ming people were preparing to attack Bacheng.

In the name of searching for arms, the colonists ordered the Ming people in the city to hand over all sharp weapons. The Dutch army searched the Ming people from house to house.

The massacre lasted for 7 days. Nearly 150 Ming people were killed in the city, and only [-] escaped by chance. Six to seven hundred houses of Ming people were burned or looted. The loss of property was beyond estimation.

Under the command of Huang Ban, the Ming people outside the city fought fiercely with the Dutch army, causing more than a thousand casualties.

This is the Bacheng massacre that shocked Java, China and Europe at that time, the "Hongxi tragedy"

After the withdrawal of the Dutch colonists, the massacre of the Ming people by the aborigines became more unscrupulous.

Almost 50 Ming citizens were massacred, and more than 5000 Ming women were raped.

Those tragedies in history are vivid in his mind. Since Zhu Youjian travels through Daming, he will never let these bloody tragedies have a chance to happen.

After the steam train turned around a few times, Zhu Youjian waved his hand to stop:

"There is no problem with the small steam train. The Ministry of Industry is going to start building the railway. It will strive to connect the railways between major cities within two years. The Ministry of Households will allocate special funds to support it."

"The minister obeys the order."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households hurriedly bowed to receive the decree. They knew that it would be difficult to build an iron furnace with the strength of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty and the financial resources of the Ministry of Households.

After explaining to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhu Youjian looked back at the civil and military ministers behind him and said:
"Now all the civil and military officials, especially the officials of the five military governors' mansions of the Ministry of War, will rush back to the court immediately. I have very important matters to discuss with the ministers."

Only then did the ministers realize that the emperor's face suddenly became very serious, and everyone couldn't help but tighten their hearts. They all knew that once the emperor's face turned ugly, someone else must be in trouble.

"According to the purpose"

As the bell of the Shang Dynasty rang, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty gathered in the Huangji Hall. No official dared to be late or not.

Zhu Youjian sat on the dragon flag in a stable manner, and the officials hurried forward and bowed. See:

"See Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian raised his big hand slightly:

"Everyone who loves you, please be free from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, long live my emperor."

After the officials thanked you, Zhu Youjian scanned the hall for a week, and then asked:

"Mingbu, what is the situation in the southwest, northwest, Liaodong and Monan of Daming now?"

Sun Chengzhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, hurried forward to salute:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the letter written by Duke Qian Mu Tianbo, the Southwest is still calm for the time being. Although Annan and Dongyu occasionally make small moves, they dare not directly invade the border of Ming Dynasty.

There is no problem in the northwest direction. Li Yan has already managed it in an orderly manner. If someone dares to invade the northwest region, the more than 20 elite soldiers under the command of Shaanxi Governor Li Yan are not vegetarians.

In Monan and Liaodong, there are Yue Feilong Tengjun and Li Cunxiao's Xuanjia iron cavalry, no one or the country dare to make the slightest move, or they can only wait for the country to be destroyed..."

After Sun Chengzhong finished speaking, Zhu Youjian nodded, then waved him back, and asked the cabinet again:

"Okay, I understand. The cabinet will report the current economic development of Ming Dynasty."

Hearing the emperor's question, Sun Chuanting hastily stepped forward and bowed to salute:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, now Daming and other countries are living in peace and harmony, focusing on developing the economy and people's livelihood, and the people's lives have been significantly improved. With the end of the dragon coin exchange, it is expected to reach the peak level of Daming within two years."

Zhu Youjian nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly changed the topic:
"Everyone, if someone massacres our Ming people and robs our Daming property, what suggestions do you have?"
