Chapter 2826: Old Chen Yi
Among the bandits who came this time, there were also people from the Dutch East India Company. They were also easily defeated by Shen Long. The news gradually spread in Nanyang, and soon spread to Java Island. Several Chinese on the island heard Immediately after the news, I went home and told my relatives, but my relatives didn't believe it when they heard it. "There are people in Nanyang who dare to fight against the red-haired barbarians? Are you talking nonsense?"
"Father, it's true. It has been spread all over the island. That King Fang Yan created a great reputation in the court without telling the officials. He has countless battleships, which are bigger and more powerful than the battleships of Westerners. Didn't you also hear about his bombardment of Nagasaki last time?" Shen Long has now revealed Fang Yan's name.
"The Japanese pirates are far behind the Westerners!" The old man in the room still shook his head and refused to believe it easily, "I'm afraid it's impossible to expect him to avenge our family!"
"Father, it's fine if you don't believe it. After a few days, the Dutch remnants will be back. You'll know when you go to the port to see their ships!" Chen Hongxi shook his head helplessly, and went out to continue to inquire about the news. He kept bringing back new news for several days, but the old man still didn't believe it.
Knowing that one day, the Dutch warship came to the port to stop for supplies, and the old man finally saw the big holes on the Dutch battleship that were blasted by cannons, and the news revealed when the Dutch disembarked for supplies, the old man finally cried with joy, "Ha Haha, God has eyes, finally someone can take care of the Dutchman! We can avenge our family!"
When he got home, he immediately gathered all the family members, tidied up, and rushed to the chief officer, but when he heard that Shen Long was in Pontianak on the way, he hurried to Pontianak again, and found Shen Long at Sanfa Landing.
As soon as he saw Shen Long, the old man immediately knelt down and paid homage, "Old man Chen Yi pays homage to King Fang, and asks King Fang to avenge our Nanyang people!"
"Old Chen Yi?" Shen Long vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar, so he quickly asked him to sit up and sit down, and then asked, "Where are you from? What kind of enmity do you have?"
"The little old man was originally from Fujian. There are many mountains and little fields in Fujian, so he couldn't survive there. In desperation, he had to go to Nanyang to make a living. Fortunately, the little old man was quite diligent. He lived in Batavia, Java I made a lot of money! There are tens of thousands of local Chinese people like me, but this has aroused the covetousness of the Dutch!" Speaking of these past events, Chen Yi's eyes were filled with tears.
"The Dutch first forced us to apply for a residence permit again and again. Those who did not receive a new residence permit were arrested at every turn, tortured during imprisonment, and all their hard-earned money was taken by them. Let's go; if it's just these things, we'll admit it, anyway, in our hometown, isn't the imperial court oppressing us like this?"
"However, the Dutch were still worried, and secretly mobilized their troops. First, the staff of the Dutch East India Company mobilized their nests and searched for hidden weapons from house to house. At night, under the instigation of Governor Valgenier, Dutch sailors, soldiers, and citizens rushed to the On the streets, the massacre began, and the massacre lasted for seven days and seven nights, and nearly ten thousand people in the city were killed, only the little old man and more than a hundred people escaped, but the little old man's parents, brothers and sisters all died tragically at the hands of the Dutch!" said At this point, Chen Yi cried so hard that he couldn't breathe.
Shen Long rushed forward to rescue him. After waking him up, Mr. Chen Yi continued to tell, "On that day, blood flowed into a river on the street, and the stream was dyed red, so I named my son Chen Hongxi to show that Don't forget the old hatred."
"After escaping from Batavia, I married a local woman and had several children. Nine years later, I had saved enough money to buy land back home, so I brought my family back to Fujian. Entering the house of Longxi, Fujian, he was arrested by local officials;
Said that I went to Nanyang privately to live for more than 20 years, worked for foreigners, and became the inner ghost of foreigners. This time, I came back with foreign wives and mixed-race children, polluting my heavenly land. "
"The imperial court also issued an order to reprimand me, saying that I'm using excuses to intimidate the barbarians, bluff, or leak the situation in the interior, so as not to cause trouble', and that I will be sent to the northwest for the crime of 'making friends with foreign countries'. I kept an eye on it and arranged for some people to hide their identity and go ashore, and then rescued me. Since then, I never dared to go home, so I could only spend the rest of my life in Java."
"I didn't expect to hear that King Fang had defeated the Dutch a few days ago! The little old man finally saw the hope of avenging his family! I think the court didn't care about it when it heard about it, and said, 'It's hurtful, but it's evil Do it yourself...the heavenly dynasty abandoned the people, and they did not hesitate to carry the tombs of their ancestors, and went abroad for profit, and the imperial court never heard of it."
What this means is that this massacre was indeed a bit tragic, but the Nanyang Chinese deserved their deaths. These guys are all abandoned people from the heavenly dynasty. They did not hesitate to betray their ancestors and graves, and ran outside for money. If this kind of thing happens again, the court will ignore it.
In fact, the Dutch also felt guilty after the massacre. The Dutch were very afraid of revenge from the Qing Dynasty, such as attacking Jakarta by force, or imposing some economic sanctions. The Governor of the Netherlands in Jakarta was also dealt with immediately and sentenced to death.
Unexpectedly, I heard such an answer. Since then, those European colonists have become more and more harsh on the Nanyang Chinese, and the Nanyang Chinese have become more and more hated on the Manchu Qing court. In the future, Sun Yat-sen can continue to obtain anti-Qing funds from Nanyang. That's it, since you are not willing to protect us, then change to a court that can protect us! It's a pity that Sun Yat-sen also let them down.
Mrs. Chen Yi took the whole family to pay respects, and bled from the head, "Please ask King Fang to avenge us, as long as King Fang can avenge us, millions of Chinese people in Nanyang will definitely treat you as King Fang!" Follow the horse's head and follow everything!"
This old Chen Yi is somewhat knowledgeable, and he vaguely guessed some of Shen Long's plans. He knew that it would be impossible to ask for help for no reason, so he made a condition that Shen Long could not refuse, "Nanyang people suffer from Westerners. Too much, if the king can free them from the oppression of the Westerners, the people of the Nanyang islands will definitely submit to the king!"
Shen Long originally thought that it would take some time until the people in Pontianak had a good life, and the people in Nanyang would come to seek refuge one after another. Unexpectedly, the appearance of Chen Yilao gave him another choice, a faster one. Target selection.
"Okay, I agree!" Shen Long agreed without hesitation.
