Xinshun 1730

Chapter 733
As Wang Wu expected, when the Chinese rushed into the first floor, the Dutch on the second floor quickly surrendered.

Lian Fuguang said that if he did not surrender, he would set fire to the first floor and burn everyone to death.

There are a few friends of Lian Fuguang, and the rest are familiar with Lian Fuguang, after all, they are insiders of the colonial government.

After getting a guarantee from Lian Fuguang not to kill them, they all handed over their guns.

But Wang Wu didn't let them go to the first floor. Instead, he chose a room on the second floor and shut all the company employees in.

Once the Dutch come to attack, they can be used as hostages, or they can be prevented from escaping on the first floor.

Lian Fuguang was in a hurry to burn the files, and Wang Wu was also in a hurry to organize people to go back to the Tangren community to defend. After a brief explanation, he left about [-] good hands to follow Lian Fuguang here.

Then the VOC flag on the roof of the Governor's Mansion was torn off, and a large piece of red silk cloth was hung on it.

Lian Fuguang stayed in the Governor's Mansion, and the people under Lei Zhenlan's and Wu Zhimi's hands, or those who relied on them for food, about two to three hundred people, all stayed here.

The rest of the Chinese were exactly as Wang Wu thought.After conquering the governor's mansion, his anger dissipated.

Let them attack Batavia's bastion, that is to die.

And the reason for their uprising was also because they were worried about the massacre of the Dutch.What worries me most now is my own home.

If they were allowed to guard the Governor's Mansion, the Dutch would light a fire in the Tang community, and these people would disperse immediately.

But if they return to the vicinity of their own house, their combat effectiveness can be improved a lot, and they must be willing to show their courage.

Because the situation is irreversible now, once the Dutch come back, they will definitely slaughter and retaliate.Since they don't want to be massacred, they can only hold on. Anyway, the news they got is that the imperial army will arrive in a few days.

When Wang Wu left the governor's mansion with the people, Lian Fuguang found the company counselor who was in charge after the governor left, and locked him in a room alone.

Those Lei Zhenlan pulled Lian Fuguang aside, avoided the others, and made a beheading gesture directly.

"Brother Lian, these people can't stay. The middle managers of these companies know our details. When the time comes, when the court asks and shakes us out, what's the use of burning the files?"

"I think we can kill them all. Let's say they tried to riot and escape. Let's go first and kill them all."

"Your Dutch lawyer friend is in there too... But I'm afraid he knows about us too."

Their business is far more than the matter of "voting a certificate"?The Dutch have files for tax-included accounts, property, land, etc.

Lian Fuguang sneered and said, "Since the imperial court is here, what's the use of having a lawyer? If I didn't have family wealth, how could we be friends? Rather teach me to betray my friends than to teach my friends to betray me."

"We do this with our heads up, isn't it just to keep our heads? What are you doing to save some future troubles? If you don't say it, I will say it too. Don't be affectionate about this matter, and no one's friends are useless. After a while, all Kill them. According to what you said, they are going to riot and escape, so we have to kill them."

These few are all ruthless and merciless people, how can they be Jiabidan and Lei Zhenlan in Batavia if they are not ruthless people?The tax package is just a matter of killing a few people, and these people don't have any psychological burden.

Originally, they raised their heads to rebel against the Dutch in order to keep their heads.They all did it with their heads in their hands, but in the end, because of a friend's friendship, their heads disappeared. Isn't that a big loss?

Besides, when the imperial court came, there was really no need for Dutch lawyers.This friend is meaningless, and it can no longer bring benefits to oneself, but may bite itself back.

If you want to do it, you must do it absolutely, and you can't leave future troubles.

After this person discussed, it was easy to reach an agreement.The detainees inside are actually their acquaintances, and they have to deal with them on weekdays, but they can't take care of so much at this time.

After calling some confidantes and whispering to kill all the captured Dutchmen, Lian Fuguang went to that room alone to talk to the company counselor who was held alone.

When the company's counselor saw Lian Fuguang, he wanted to say something like you Chinese can't be trusted, but he rebelled.

But people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and at this time, they really didn't dare to speak such nonsense arrogantly.

On the contrary, he smiled flatteringly at Lian Fuguang and said, "Jiapidanlian, we have known each other for a long time. When I came to Batavia, we knew each other before you were Jiapitan."

"I understand your behavior very well. You are Tang people, of course you are loyal to your great emperor. This is patriotic sentiment. Although we in the Netherlands do not have an emperor, we will also respond to the call of the motherland."

It was close to a trick, even Fu Guang smiled, he also wanted to get some words from the company counselor.

The imperial court sent troops, but what happened to the situation outside the city?

I lied to myself that the governor was defeated, but I made it up.

Lei Zhenlan thought that he was in contact with the court and got the news from the court; the common people thought he was Kapitan appointed by the Netherlands and thought he got the news from the Dutch.

Only he knows, and he doesn't know anything at all.

Before invading the governor's mansion, even Fu Guang thought that the files of the nomination certificates should not fall into the hands of the imperial court.

Now that he has entered the governor's mansion, the most terrifying shadow that lingered in his heart before is about to dissipate, but he begins to look forward and backward again.

Although it was too late to regret it, Lian Fuguang was very worried because the stone in his heart did not fall to the ground.

Of course he can speak Dutch. After thinking about the cliché, he followed the words of the company counselor and said, "You are right, of course we have to respond to the call of the motherland. Although I am the company's Kapitan, I am still a Chinese People. I'm patriotic."

"We have a saying that the body is in Cao Ying and the heart is in Han. The general idea is... This is different from Judas betraying Jesus for 30 silver coins. I am not short of money, as you know."

The company counselor also nodded, indeed.How can Chinese Kapitan be short of money?If you don't have money, you can't be a Jiapidan.

After roughly understanding the meaning of being in Cao Ying and being in Han, the company counselor believed Lian Fuguang's words.

What Lian Fuguang reported back then was not someone from the imperial court, but the leader of the Wushan Party.

This kind of thing is also common in Europe.

Didn't the forest beggars in the Netherlands also suffer suppression after the independence of the Netherlands?

When the English beheaded the king, many poor people participated.After Cromwell gained power, didn't he also kill the poor earth-diggers?
With this understanding, it is easy to accept Lian Fuguang's statement: loyal to the imperial court, but the imperial court will not like Lian Huaiguan just because he is Chinese.Just as the earth-diggers are also British, and the forest beggars are also Dutch.

Therefore, in the eyes of the company counselor, Lian Fuguang's words are absolutely credible.

The company counselor Xin Dao, this is a true patriot, a patriot who is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han.He is a respectable person who responds to the call of the motherland when the motherland needs it.

Reporting on Lian Huaiguan, the leader of the Chinese U-shirt Party, does not seem to contradict this.

"Lian, I should congratulate you. The motherland you are loyal to is about to win a complete victory. Your warship defeated our fleet."

Just this one sentence made Lian Fuguang clenched his fists involuntarily, and he almost screamed out.

The imperial fleet defeated the Dutch fleet?Terrific!It seems that I bet right.Even the fleet that the Netherlands is proud of has been defeated. Isn't it just around the corner that the imperial court enters Batavia?

Looking at the Dutchman in front of him, Lian Fuguang thought, you must be my benefactor.

Originally, he was skeptical of Wang Wu's words, suspecting that Wang Wu was from the mountains and used the court to deceive himself.

Thanks to the fact that the Dutchman was holding a vote, he felt the crisis of the Dutchman, so he decided to vote.

If it weren't for this Dutchman, I might still be skeptical and overwhelmed.The imperial fleet defeated the Dutch fleet. If he dragged on, he would definitely end badly in the future.

The family property was confiscated and exiled for three thousand miles to guard the frontier, it was all a favor from the superiors.

If it is normal, the head must be hung on the flagpole.

Now, at least there is still a chance to give bribes a try.

With this sentence, even if it is enough, there is no need to ask the rest.

Even Fuguang knew what was in his mind, and the worries he had had just now because he could destroy the files because he broke into the governor's mansion were gone.

In a good mood.

So he took out his short gun, shot the company counselor in the head, and said with a smile, "Really, you are my benefactor."

…………

Tang community.

An eerie calm.

There are still some Europeans in the Tangren community, but they are mainly craftsmen and the like, not part of the company's regular employees, but part of the company's non-staff personnel, usually carpenters, blacksmiths and the like.

Lian Fuguang's banner was that the Dutch wanted to massacre.

Waiting for the news that the Governor's Mansion has been captured, it is said that massacres and robberies here will also happen.

But in fact not.

The ordinary people in the Tangren community are all citizens. This is a class that basically likes to live a small life, and basically talks about conscience, good and evil.

If the black shirt party and the pantsless men were still there, they would probably have massacred and robbed Europeans by this time.

It's not that they have low morals, but that most of these Ushan Party members are slave labor expelled from sugar factories.These Europeans in the Tang community are not of the same class at all, and they don't know each other at all.

Since you are going to kill me, then we will kill you first. Their logic is relatively simple.

Of course, if they were still in the city and had not been immigrated to Ceylon, even Fuguang would not have needed to attack the Governor's Mansion today.The leader of the Wushan Party raised his arms and shouted, and the people from the imperial court came forward and said, there was no need to talk nonsense, and they did it directly.

But now those who stay in the city are all Chinese who live a slightly better life.The Europeans who live here are either neighbors or friends.

This kind of friendship is not the friendship between a wealthy businessman and a lawyer.If these people are really asked to kill their friends and neighbors, they really won't do it.

Chinese people value friendship and harmony with their neighbors.

Although in history when the Hongxi tragedy happened, these European "friends" and "neighbors" were merciless at all, and those who killed friends and neighbors were full of tricks.

After all, this is the Protestant tradition.

The profundity of Thanksgiving is indeed incomprehensible to oriental cultures.

But after all, this incident did not happen, and was stopped by Liu Yu in advance, so the Chinese here have not had the opportunity to experience the massacre tradition of Protestant countries.

Ask these lower-middle-level Chinese to attack the Governor's Mansion, kill those company employees, and Dutch soldiers. Anyway, they don't know each other, and they don't usually deal with each other. They don't have any psychological pressure to do it.Besides, the company wants to slaughter them all, so as to report their complaints directly.

But if they are asked to slaughter their neighbors and friends, they will not do it.

It's like Sun Tao who got into the governor's mansion with the team before and came back again.After returning, I went back home first, and reported to my wife and children that they were safe.

Then I went to the home of my German friend Schwartz, and handed a piece of red silk cloth to the shivering Schwartz, telling him to hang it at the gate and hide at home not to go out.

Then, I went to the court to assemble, and together with more and more Chinese, I was going to build barricades and clear some houses according to the request of those who were said to be sent by the imperial court, in preparation for the counterattack of the Dutch.Not for anything else, but for the wives and children behind him.

Sun Tao thought, if the real Dutchman fights back and cannot fight here, Schwartz will definitely come forward to intercede for himself.

After all, we are good friends.
