The wind blows from the South Sea

Chapter 113 Turmoil and Fear

The Governor-General's Palace held a high-level meeting and quickly formulated countermeasures to deal with the Nanyang rebels in East Java and Central Java. They vigorously promoted everything from financial allocations to military preparations, demonstrating the tough attitude of the Governor-General's Palace.

The large-scale rebellion that broke out in the colony was a serious dereliction of duty on the part of the Governor-General.

The impact must be controlled to the smallest possible scope, and minimizing major issues and minimizing minor issues is the only way out today.

Otherwise, Governor Charles and the key officials of the Governor's Palace will inevitably be impeached by the parliament and even imprisoned when they return to the country to report their duties.

The rigid and slow colonial machine finally started to operate, showing a rare high efficiency, which sent a chill to the Chinese communities in areas such as Batavia and Bandung.

9 April

The white Dutch colonial army dispatched a large number of troops to search and arrest 117 Chinese businessmen and their families on suspicion of collaborating with bandits. They were mainly a dozen Chinese families operating shipping and daily necessities stores.

Most of these were caused by unforeseen disasters.

10 April

The evening of August 10

In the old house of the Lin family, which was not affected

About two to three thousand local natives took advantage of the chaos to rob, burn, kill and commit adultery. They caused chaos in several streets near the port in the northwest of Batavia and burned down a large number of houses in traditional Chinese gathering areas.

On the contrary, when the Chinese neighborhood organized a large number of people to help each other and protect themselves, they were beaten and arrested by the local police station, and they were charged with armed riot and violently suppressed.

For a time, there was an outcry in Bandung and Batavia, the capitals of West Java. Tens of thousands of large and small Chinese shops, warehouses, restaurants, department stores, banks, gambling stalls and other businesses were affected. The deed tax paid was higher than in the past. All more than doubled.

The Dutch colonists turned a deaf ear to this serious communal riot and took no steps to quell the situation.

"Brother, then you will just watch your compatriots and neighbors being tortured and killed by the indigenous barbarians..."

The temporary special war tax plan has been released. The Chinese community, dominated by Chinese tax collectors in various places, will bear 860% of the special war tax totaling 70 million guilders. This is not only plundering wool, but also drinking the blood of the Chinese community.

Lin Zongguang's face was as gloomy as water, and he reprimanded, "I've killed him, don't let Lao Jiu mess around anymore. People are under the eaves, and they have to lower their heads. What can I do?"

The fire burned raging that night and was extinguished only the next morning, causing considerable damage.

According to statistics afterwards

The yard was full of people, probably more than a hundred people at a time, including Kapitan boss Lin Zongguang, Lin Zongyuan, Lin Zongxin, Lin Zongzhi, Lin Zongli and others. There were also some young and strong second-generation Lin family members, many of whom were His face was filled with sadness and anger.

At this moment, the angry Lin Zongjie was holding a big knife, but he was held down tightly by several strong men around him, and he could only roar with grief and anger.

The Chinese "Kapitan" master who was responsible for managing public security in the city in the past is hard to find. Other Chinese assistants such as Mayao, Lei Zhenlan, Zhu Gejiao, Da Shi and other Chinese assistants have all ceased their activities, allowing the indigenous mob to bully them.

722 houses were burned down, and 6 blocks were affected. More than 170 Chinese people died in the riots, and another said about 390 people were injured. Even more people were injured, leaving tens of thousands of people homeless.

"Why is this...why can't we resist? Why do we have to endure such massacre and humiliation, those red-blooded ghost guys who are prowling the streets, I blame your mother..."

A group of white sailors from the Royal Netherlands Navy stationed in the Port of Batavia got drunk and vented their anger by smashing, looting, and burning local Chinese shops, which subsequently led to a larger riot.

"Presumptuous, you think I can bear to watch, my heart is bleeding!" Lin Zongguang's white beard was trembling in anger, pointing at Lin Zongjie who was still holding his neck, and scolded;

The neighborhood that used to be noisy and full of smoke and fire was a mess after the fire. Countless black wooden piles stood there alone, as well as the eyes of Chinese elderly, weak, women and children with confusion and despair.

The vigorous ninth master of the Lin family, Lin Zongjie, is only 24 years old, a full 31 years younger than his eldest brother Lin Zongguang. Although he is not the daughter of the same mother, he is also the direct descendant of the second son of Mrs. Lin.

"Jijiezi, are you blind and can't you see?

The bullets are loaded in the red gang ghost barracks. As long as our Chinese gang resists, we can pull them out at any time to suppress them. How many people will die by then?

Let’s make it clear, if the red-blooded ghost guy wants to express this bad temper in his heart, we will suffer a disaster like a fish in a pond.

Don't talk about Kapitan now. It's not easy to use it even if you move it out of Guan Erye's position. Can't you use your brain?
The ghost guy is just going to make fun of you, humiliate you, set your house on fire, and kill your people to let us know who owns the world here?

Do you still want to resist because there are not enough people dying?

As soon as those gangsters with bloody courage on the streets gathered together, they were taken away by the patrol room indiscriminately, their hands and feet were broken off, and they were thrown into a dark room, making it difficult for them to escape.

You said...how can I help in this situation?
If it can be useful, I, Lin Zongguang, am not willing to be a coward.

Wouldn't it be fun to be the first to stand on the street with a knife, and kill any native barbarian who comes?

That played into the ghost man's hands and sent troops to arrest the entire Lin clan from top to bottom. A single charge of "plotting evil and intending to gather a crowd to riot" can lead to eternal damnation.

The industry that our ancestors had been running for more than 200 years was wiped out in one fell swoop, all members of the clan were imprisoned, women and children were bullied, and our Lin family was doomed from now on.

Lao Jiu, what is the result you want?

Look at the world in Batavia. It's still the world of ghosts. Those who dare to resist will only die. How can their arms twist their thighs? "Damn it... Pu, your mother!" "Lin Zongjie shouted to the sky in pain, tears overflowed from his bell-like eyes, and he knelt on the ground with weak knees.

The words the eldest brother said hurt his heart, but the scolding also woke him up.

The reality is so cruel. The red ghost guys want to kill people to establish their power, but they just use the hands of the native barbarians.

This move was intended to scare the Chinese community into not allowing them to have any connections with the rebels and to pay the temporary additional war tax in full, otherwise this would be the end.

Lin Zongguang frowned and looked at this younger brother. Seeing that he could not control himself in pain, he ordered: "What are you still doing here? Help Master Jiu to rest in the back. Remember to keep a close eye on him and don't go out to help me." Bringing disaster and causing trouble.”

"As you command, Master." The servants carried Master Jiu Lin Zongjie away at great speed.

Lin Zongguang then looked around the audience. The patriarch's majesty became more and more intense. Everyone he saw lowered their heads timidly, not daring to look at him.

Lin Zongguang said;
“What I just said was not only for Lao Jiu, but also for you, so I remember it all;

Gui Lao has gone crazy these days, and whoever touches him will be in trouble.

I can't control others, but people from the Lin clan are not allowed to rush in and seek death in vain, bringing disaster to the clan.

If any of you dare to act recklessly, I will skin you and you will not be buried in the ancestral graves after your death.

A bunch of street boys, I don't know how brave they are, they all got out of here and stayed there, not allowed to go out. "

Under his strict order, all the children of the Lin clan left silently. Soon, most of the people in the main courtyard were gone, leaving only the second master, third master, and fifth master, the elders of their generation.

At this time, Lin Zongguang's face showed a tired look, and he called to everyone and said, "Let's go to the main hall to have a cup of tea and discuss how to behave in the future."

Third Master Lin Zongxin also sighed softly and said, "What the clan leader said is that our Lin clan has a great cause and it is time to seriously consider a retreat. Now the situation is deteriorating so fast, far beyond our imagination. Gui Lao Baipi The black heart is no longer concealed, and it is becoming more and more vicious. If time passes, it will be difficult for Java Island to stand up!"

"I never thought that a red ghost guy who was usually gentle and gentle would turn out to be as cruel as a sibling after turning against him. It's really unimaginable." Second Master Lin Zongyuan still had the look of shock on his face, his face full of disbelief.

Fifth Master Lin Zongzhi snorted coldly and said as he walked;
"Hong Fan and Fran Ji Gui are the same species. The Hongxi Massacre in the past is a clear example. Are you pretending to be a saint?

What Lao Jiu said is right, he is the one who picks up the knife and fucks Te Niang.

The weather in Nanyang is about to change. If Marshal Feng can lead his army to kill him, he will fight the ghost guy inside and outside, even if he dies, he will be a hot-blooded man.

No matter how you put it, it is much better than dying as a coward. "

"Lao Wu, shut up. If these words get out, it will cause great trouble. Don't mention it again in the future."

"Oh...it's so heartwarming!"

Several speakers from the Lin clan entered the main hall with solemn expressions. Then the door was closed tightly and they began to discuss, which did not end until dark.

This situation occurs in many Chinese families. Some are thinking about their future, some are worried, and some are busy expressing their loyalty to the ghost.

All of these are different.

This bloody October has left a deep and indelible scar in the hearts of the Chinese community that will be difficult to heal for a long time.

When the news reached the Nanyang Army, Feng Guohui was furious and immediately sent 200 heads of white colonists on a sloop cargo ship, all bloody in boxes.

And he left a message to the Governor’s Palace;

If you want, there are still 4720 heads that can be offered at any time.

This move directly hit the weakness of the Governor-General's Palace in the Dutch East Indies, and it immediately gave way.

An envoy was immediately dispatched to tell the Nanyang Army that the murder at the Batavia port was purely accidental, and that the Governor's Office would do its best to ensure the safety of the people under its rule and prevent similar situations from happening.

At the same time, we also hope that the Nanyang Army will respect and protect the personal safety of the white colonists in the occupied areas from infringement, and resolve differences or disputes in a civilized manner.

The Governor-General of the East Indies had no choice but to be cowardly. After these 200 heads were delivered to the port of Batavia, it immediately caused a great commotion in the local white society, and panic spread quickly.

In just half a month

There was a frenzy of white exodus in the Batavia and Bandung areas. Thousands of white settlers left by ship in various ways, and it was difficult to get a ticket to Europe.

Many white families, old and young, took boats to Singapore, Saigon, Hong Kong or the Indian subcontinent to escape the possible impending war.

Various rumors about the Nanyang Army's brutal suppression of white settlers were rampant. The two hundred heads further confirmed this, making people more and more panicked.

As long as I have some money in my pocket, I want to escape from this place of right and wrong.
