Liu Hanyi wanted to laugh a lot, and ordered: "Let them divide into two teams, and choose which team to go."

The captive team soon became distinct.

The governor and his cronies, as well as the soldiers who tried to rescue the governor's mansion, all spontaneously stood aside.

On the other side, there are local company executives.

As for the middle and low-level civil servants, those who have been away from the Netherlands for a long time choose to join the local faction.He has only been away from the Netherlands for two or three years, and subconsciously went to get together with the governor.

Even if they get to India, they will not be safe.

Because the representatives of the parliamentarians here are the cronies of certain high-level officials (Governors of India and Ceylon), and represent those high-level officials who stayed in Batavia.The arrest of their representative is equivalent to being arrested, and Rainiers must be hated to the bone.

As the governor of Batavia, Rainiers was in charge of the entire Asian affairs, but when he went to India and Ceylon, they were the territories of the governors of India and Ceylon.

Obviously, Rainiers is the one that needs protection. It is estimated that the goods will not dare to disembark when they arrive in India.Fortunately, the commander-in-chief of the East India Fleet, who is also an airborne faction sent by the headquarters, will definitely do his best to protect Rainiers' safety.

The writer Neuhof did not join either side, and this guy shouted: "I love China, I want to be Chinese, long live His Majesty the Emperor of China!"

Sun Jie couldn't laugh or cry, and said to Liu Hanyi: "Ambassador, this person can stay."

"Then stay." Liu Hanyi nodded.

When the Datong Army besieged the Governor's Mansion, Neuhof actively cooperated and acted as a dog's leg.Then he helped to count the goods, and even ran to Ambon Island to deliver a letter, persuading the Dutch on Ambon Island to pack up and leave.

No credit, but also hard work, this kind of good dog can be accepted.

In the end, there were nearly a thousand civilians. Liu Hanyi said to these people: "Among you, those who want to leave can stand up, and those who don't want to leave can stay."

These civilians were all born in Batavia, and all of them were of mixed blood.

Their property has been confiscated, and even if they stay, they can only work for a living, and they may have to go to the countryside to serve as slaves to the Han people.

Seeing that these people were hesitating, Liu Hanyi continued: "Women under the age of 40, as long as they are willing to stay in Batavia, I will help you find a new husband. If you have children, children under the age of ten, you can take the remarriage to your husband's house .”

As soon as this remark came out, hundreds of women walked out on the spot, and more than 20 of them brought their children.

At this time, the Dutch colonists were still unwilling to stay in the colony for the elderly.Therefore, their wives in the colony can basically be regarded as mistresses.When high-level employees return to China, they can also arrange for mistresses and illegitimate children to escape.Those middle and low-level employees, once transferred, will most likely leave with a pat on the back, regardless of the life or death of their wives and children.

That being the case, it is normal for these mistresses to choose to abandon their husbands.

Many of the lower-class Han Chinese in Batavia cannot even marry native wives.These women stayed and just married the low-level Han people, and Liu Hanyi was already thinking of ways to govern this place.

Because according to Kuang Hong's example, Liu Hanyi is likely to be appointed Governor of Batavia!

About 10 minutes later, nearly a thousand mixed-race civilians made their own choices one after another.Many of the men chose to go to the Indian colonies, while most of the women begged to stay in Batavia.

In fact, no matter where they go, these mixed-race civilians have no sense of belonging, and they don't even know where their home country is.

In this case, it is best to domesticate!

The Portuguese mixed-race descendants in Macau did not have any sense of belonging to Portugal, so they were ordered by Zhao Han to change their surnames for more than ten years, and now all of them regard themselves as Chinese people.At the beginning, I still held it, resisting intermarriage with Han people, but now I am afraid that I will be discriminated against, so I desperately find Han people to marry for my children.

Even among those of mixed race in Macau, there are still a large number of reformers every year, who invariably choose to believe in Mazu.

Watching the Dutch leave the port by boat, before Liu Hanyi returned to the city, he saw a fleet of ships approaching from afar.They were all offshore galleys, obviously from some sultanate.

The galley fleet was allowed in, and a turbaned fellow came ashore with his bodyguard for questioning.

Soon, the man was brought before Liu Hanyi, kneeling on his knees and said, "Tertna Sultan Zaku, I pay my respects to the great Chinese envoy! Tertina country, I would like to obey the Chinese emperor as my master, and thank China for driving away the hateful Dutch!"

"The king please rise up!" Liu Hanyi was overjoyed, and he got another credit.

The Sultanate of Tertena is not a small country.

About 60 years ago, it was the heyday of this country. It occupied most of Mindanao, most of Sulawesi, the entire Lesser Sunda Islands and Alor Islands, North and South Maluku Islands, Bachan Islands, and Buru Island. etc.If the sea area in the middle is included, it is as large as the south of the Yangtze River in China.

Then, the Europeans came.

First bullied by Portugal, then bullied by Spain, and then bullied by the Dutch.It is a crime to conceive the jade, and the Tertena country is rich in spices, even producing half of the spices in Southeast Asia.

It's not going to work now, and the country's land has shrunk by [-] to [-]%.As far as its land area is concerned, it is roughly equivalent to two Taiwan islands.

Liu Hanyi took Sudan to the Governor's Mansion, and said: "China is a great country in the Celestial Dynasty, and has never treated its vassals harshly. From now on, as long as you are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of China, you will definitely not be bullied by Europeans again. China is different from the Netherlands, and will not force you to be inferior. Sell ​​your spices at a low price. Any merchant can buy your spices. Who you sell your spices to is up to you.”

The sultan was very excited when he heard this, and bowed to the north again, shouting: "Thanks to the great and benevolent emperor, the royal family and people of Tertena will be the slaves of the emperor for generations!"

The Dutch did not build a castle in Tertena, but the Dutch colony of Ambon Island threatened Tertena at any time.As long as the country's spices dare to be sold to a third party, the Netherlands will immediately send troops, and the massacre has been carried out several times.

Now that Ambon Island is occupied by China, the Sultan of Tertena is of course overjoyed, and he voluntarily submits to China without any psychological burden.

The Netherlands is too far away, and there are too few people, so it can only be subdued by force, forcing Tertena to sell spices to himself.China does not have so many concerns. Countless Chinese maritime merchants will flock to Tertena, and other countries will not be able to compete.

It seems that Tertena is free to buy and sell spices, but in fact they must be sold to Chinese merchants.

Although the result is the same, the means are different.

Sultan Tertena resented the European colonists, but was extremely grateful to the Chinese emperor, because China was his savior.In the past few decades, in order to fight against European colonists, two Sudans of Tertena died in battle.

Liu Hanyi's achievements far surpassed that of Kuang Hong who captured Malacca.

He uprooted the core of Dutch rule in Southeast Asia, not only captured Batavia, but also released the entire Spice Islands.Just relying on those islands rich in spices, Chinese maritime merchants can make a lot of money.

Moreover, the surrender of Tertena Kingdom also has very important strategic significance.

At this time, the land of Tertena was mainly concentrated in North Maluku, between Mindanao and Papua.

Once China goes to war with Spain in the future, troops can be sent from Luzon in the north, Brunei and Sulu in the west, and North Maluku in the south.Gather this group of vassals and attack the Spaniards on three sides, and they can beat Spain to the point where mother doesn't even know it.

In addition, the territory of the Tertena country is also an excellent landing point for sailing from America to Asia.

When Magellan sailed around the world and left the Pacific Ocean, he almost landed in Tertena.The reason for not choosing where to land is simple, because it was Portugal's sphere of influence at the time.

In order to show his loyalty, the sultan stayed directly in Batavia and planned to go to Nanjing with Liu Hanyi.

However, Su Dingguo found Liu Hanyi and brought several wealthy Arab and Indian businessmen.

"Master Angel, Batavia has been conquered, and the next step is to capture Chittagong." Su Dingguo said.

Liu Hanyi was satisfied and didn't want to make any more troubles, but still asked: "Why do you have to occupy Chittagong?"

Su Dingguo explained: "The Dutch were driven away, and many Chinese goods could not be shipped out, and they needed to be shipped to India. Chittagong is a perfect place, where a group of pirates and Portuguese ruled. In the future, Chinese maritime merchants Ship the goods to Batavia and Palembang, and we merchants in Batavia and Palembang can transship the goods to Chittagong. The Portuguese, the British, and the Dutch transport the goods from Chittagong to Europe .”

Well, just after Batavia was brought down, the merchants are already considering new sea trade routes.

"Do you have enough cargo ships?" Liu Hanyi asked.

"Not enough," Su Dingguo shook his head and said, "Take my Su family as an example. There are only two sea boats, which my father saved back then. The Dutch unloaded mills and killed donkeys, and the Han people were not allowed to increase the number of ships, so the Su family's sea boats There have always been only two ships. Moreover, they are not allowed to go west, so they can only do business in other directions. Batavia has a shipyard. If you ask the ambassador to auction it, we will build ships in Batavia. If we can’t build so many, we will Go to Guangzhou Shipyard to order."

Liu Hanyi shook her head: "I have no right to auction the shipyard and armory in Batavia, and I have to ask the court for instructions. But the ship can be built first, and all profits belong to the court. I will keep Deputy Envoy Sun and let him manage the shipyard temporarily. and the arsenal."

Chapter 832 [Small Country Lined Up]

Batavia has two old names, one is "Sunda Galaba", which means "City of Coconut", and the Han people call it "Coconut City" for short.

After the change of dynasty, it was renamed "Jayagarda", which means "Triumph City", and the Han people called it "Jakarta" for short.

As for "Batavia", it was changed by the Dutch.

After discussions between imperial envoys and local Han people, it was agreed that the old name of "Coconut City" should be restored.What Jakarta, what Batavia, there will be no more in the future.

"The news just came that another sultan appeared in Matalan." Liu Hanyi laughed happily.

Sun Jie said: "Let them continue to fight, and then ask the imperial court to confer title when the fight is almost done."

Now, the Sultan of Mataram is dead, even members of the royal family have been killed, and the capital of Matalam has also been burned.

Matalam was divided into five parts, four sultans and one governor.

An aristocratic landowner who founded his own state in Brianan (Bandung) and declared himself the Sultan of Brianan.

An aristocratic landowner who founded a state southwest of the capital of Mata Lam, declaring himself the Sultan of Thoreau.

An aristocratic landowner who founded a state southeast of the capital of Mata Lam, declaring himself the Sultan of Yogyakarta.

An aristocratic landowner, with the support of the local Han people, established a state in the port of Surabaya, declaring himself the Sultan of Surabaya (Sultan of Surabaya).

A Han landlord who established himself as the governor in Semarang, and was subordinate to the Governor of Semarang in China.

These five guys all sent people to Coconut City (Batavia) to ask the Chinese emperor to canonize themselves as soon as possible. It would be even better if the Chinese army could send troops to help.

Because they are still at war!

The Sultan of Burianan was planning to expand eastward when Bandan's army suddenly came from behind.

Sultan Solo and Sultan of Yogyakarta joined forces to kill King Mataram.They burned, killed and looted the original capital, and each established a new capital nearby. Because they were so close together, the two sides were almost in an endless situation.

On the contrary, the Sultan of Surabaya is the most relaxed, constantly eliminating small forces in the surrounding area, and is about to unify East Java.If you continue to fight, the west is the territory of the Sultan of Yogyakarta, and the east has to cross the strait to attack Bali.

"Ambassador, another envoy is asking to see you."

"Bring him in."

A wounded native was brought to Liu Hanyi, knelt down and said, "Please send troops to rescue Bo Liang'an!"

Liu Hanyi asked: "Are you sent by the Sultan of Boliang'an?"

The native envoy said: "The [-] troops of the Wandan Kingdom have captured Sujiawumei and are marching towards the city of Brian'an. Messenger, if you don't send troops, it will be too late!"

Sukabumi is just a small town, which originally belonged to the Banten Kingdom and was forcibly taken by the Dutch.When the Wandan army conquered there, it really wasn't an opportunity to invade. It could be said that it was regaining the lost ground.

"You go to recuperate first, and I will deal with it." Liu Hanyi said ambiguously.

After the native envoy left, Sun Jie said: "There is no need to send troops. The rainy season has arrived. It has been raining for the past two days. It is impossible for the army of Wandan Kingdom to fight again."

Liu Hanyi said: "But Wandan Kingdom had to beat and beat, and actually took the opportunity to loot the Han farms in the suburbs when we were besieging the city."

"It's enough to reprimand and reprimand, and take the opportunity to delineate a clear territory," Sun Jie said, "As a punishment for Wandan Kingdom, the territory around Yecheng must be extended for twenty miles. But let's not go too far, we can admit it The recently recovered territory of Banten Kingdom."

This suggestion is disgusting. Coconut City (Batavia) has expanded for twenty miles, and the newly added sites are all flat land with fertile soil.

Most of the territory recently recovered by Banten Kingdom is mountainous.

It is tantamount to assigning the mountainous territory before Mataram to Banten Kingdom as compensation.And the fertile flatlands of Wandan Kingdom have set aside a large area to be ruled by China.

Just ask if you want to do it, who told you to rob Han farms?

"Boom!"

The rainy season in Java is officially here, as if a hole has been poked out of the sky, and it is pouring rain all day long.

The wars in various places have also come to an end, everyone has ceased their troops, and we will talk about what to do after the rainy season.

The army of Banten Kingdom also retreated, some of them were stationed in Sukabumi, and the remaining soldiers all disbanded and went home.The Sultan of Burian'an was finally able to catch his breath. After being beaten up by the Bandan army, only the city of Burian'an and its surroundings remained in his territory. By the way, there was another sultanate in the north.

A businessman in Cirebon Port, taking advantage of Boliangan being attacked by Banten, suddenly chose to launch a rebellion and declared the establishment of the Cirebon Sultanate.

There was also the Cirebon Sultanate before, and it was also the parent country of Banten.

At that time, the Cirebon Sultan conquered the Banten area and sent his son to serve as the Banten Sultan.Later, the Banten Kingdom became independent from the Cirebon Kingdom, and the Cirebon Kingdom was wiped out by Ma Talan.

Now it's cool, the palm-sized Java Island has split into eight forces.

One is the Banten Sultanate, most of which is in Java.The second is Coconut City (Batavia) in China.The third is the Burangan Sultanate.The fourth is the Sultanate of Cirebon.The fifth is the area under the jurisdiction of the governor of Semarang.Sixth is the Solo Sultanate.The seventh is the Yogyakarta Sultanate.The eighth is the Surabaya Sultanate.

Sun Jie went to Wandan City in the rain, and soon met Wandan Sultan Ah Geng.

"Meet the Chinese envoy!" Sultan Ah Geng was very polite.

But Sun Jie reprimanded: "As a Chinese vassal, why did you plunder the Chinese manors and farmland? Don't tell me that it was done by robbers. We captured a few survivors, and all of them confessed that they were soldiers of Wandan."

Geng explained: "Master Messenger, the Chinese army is besieging Jakarta (Batavia), and Banten, as a vassal state, must of course send troops to help. At that time, Xiao Wang thought that Jakarta was already surrounded, and it would be useless to increase troops. It is better to go to Ma Dalan, a vassal state of the Netherlands, was attacked. Therefore, Xiao Wang ordered to gather troops, and the vanguard troops set off ahead of schedule. Unexpectedly, the generals were not strictly restrained, and hundreds of soldiers violated orders to plunder the farm. This incident was completely accidental, and it was definitely not ordered by Xiao Wang. of."

Sun Jie sneered and threatened: "In this way, after the rainy season is over, it will be an accident for the Chinese army to surround Wandan City!"

Ah Geng was frightened by this statement. In his opinion, the Dutch army was very powerful, and the Banten soldiers could not compete at all.On the other hand, the Chinese army can hang and beat the Dutch, and its combat power can throw the Banten army eight blocks away.

Batavia has been captured by the Chinese army, how can Banten City be defended?

Moreover, Ah Geng did not lie, this time was really an accident.

The land owned by the Han landlords was originally encroached from the territory of Banten.The local Wandan aborigines have a blood feud with the Han landlords.

When the vanguard troops of Wandan attacked the Brian'an area, when they passed by the outskirts of the Han manor, hundreds of local soldiers took the opportunity to rob the Han manor to vent their anger.Of course, Wandan Kingdom is not without responsibility. The generals of the vanguard did not strictly restrain this, and it can even be said that they are conniving.

A Geng was afraid of attracting the Chinese army, so he quickly said: "Master Messenger, we will compensate the Chinese landlords for their losses. Xiao Wang will also severely punish the generals who are not strict with the soldiers."

"Of course there must be compensation, but it's not money and food. Your behavior is already a war against the suzerain!"

After Sun Jie made threats, the lion said loudly: "As punishment, the land east of Jia Weilan belongs to China!"

"This...absolutely not!" Sultan Ah Geng trembled with anger.

Sun Jie demanded a lot of money, not only asking for the land that Wan Dan had just recovered, but also cutting off a large piece of Wan Dan's original land.

Sun Jie asked: "Then what do you think should be done? By the way, the Sultan of Burian'an has asked His Majesty the Emperor of China to canonize him. The land you just occupied should be returned to the Sultan of Burian'an."
