Chapter 451: The Chinese are easy to deal with!
Ali Khalid arrogantly said: "Of course, the Chinese used to be in Batavia, they were inferior. They can't beat the Dutch, and the Dutch can't beat us, the Chinese are very easy to deal with!"
He deserved it. The Dutch didn't beat them. If the Dutch's strength were overwhelmed, Banten would not be an opponent at all! ..
But the focus of the Netherlands is on Europe. After all, there are a small number of people in Southeast Asia, and Southeast Asia is so big, so it makes money with harmony. To deal with the indigenous people in various places, it uses more methods of leveraging its strength, taking advantage of it, or buying, and slowly plotting.
Regarding Ali Khalid’s statement, most courtiers agree, because there are also some Chinese in the Kingdom of Banten. They have relatively high abilities and are very diligent. Both the manufactured goods and the trafficked goods are beyond the reach of others. They compete.
The Chinese are docile, like to spend money to eliminate disasters, and have weak physical fitness. For the Banten Warriors, one can beat three Chinese!
What's more, the Chinese who do business in Banten are fighting fiercely. Today you sell a piece of porcelain for a silver dollar. The day after tomorrow I will sell half a silver dollar. The day after tomorrow, you will sell it for a tenth of a silver dollar. People from Quanzhou and Zhangzhou in Fujian Province bit their dogs, but when they meet people from Guangdong Province, they join forces to fight people from Guangdong Province. Even if the number is not large, they form strong cliques and often sell out to please the nobles in Banten. other side.
For example, a certain Cantonese trafficked a cargo to Banten, and then the Hokkien ran to the Banten nobles and told the reserve price. As a result, the Banten nobles used a big axe to bargain the price and cut the Cantonese to the bloodless face. No return is possible!
Therefore, the Banten nobles knew what the Chinese were, and looked down upon the Chinese at all!
Seriously bs them!
Of course, what the Banten aristocrats never expected is that the Southeast Mansion they are about to face is completely different from the Chinese in Banten. Although they are both Chinese, the Southeast Mansion is a combination of chicken fists, which is terrifying. He can concentrate his efforts on big things. The strength and ingenuity of the Chinese were brought together to carry out production, economic construction and warfare, while at the same time limiting internal fighting to a large extent.
With the great commander and the core, everyone used to be scattered, not subordinate to each other, and dissatisfied with each other. They just demolished your platform to bite me, bite me!
But if anyone in the chicken boxing combination dared to tear down the stage, the commander gave an order, and everyone rushed forward. Whoever does not unite will be beaten up. Everyone can only be a good gentleman.
...
However, there are still people in the Banten Royal Court. Rashamarah (ie Admiral of the Navy) Adi Ben has a big nose, known as Big Nose Adi. He shook his big nose and followed Ali Khalid. The words said: "Our navy can't beat the Dutch, and the Dutch defeated the Chinese again, so this matter must be taken care of for a long time!"
One sentence aroused public outrage. Elder Karim said with a smile: "I understand why our navy can't beat the Dutch!"
Someone immediately joked and said, "How can I say this!"
Karim laughed and said: "Da Nose Adi is even scared of the Chinese, how could he beat the Dutch!"
The crowd roared with laughter, Big Nose Adi feared the enemy like a tiger. If he were not for the confidant of Minister Xi Reza Youssef, I am afraid that everyone would have taken him down, but now it is no psychological burden to make fun of him!
Everyone is full of Chinese people. In such an atmosphere, Reza Youssef also finds it difficult to make a wise decision. He no longer sees the envoy of the Southeast Prefecture, and sends an official to deny him: "We don't recognize this transfer!"
Such a national event was decided by Reza Yusuf, who never consulted Sudan Aziz Mohammed from beginning to end, and the ministers were accustomed to it.
Aziz Muhammad knew his status as a puppet and did not say anything, but he thought to himself: "Pride has blinded these people. The Chinese in Banten are not Chinese in the southeast province. The Chinese in Banten cannot fight. The Chinese in Southeast Province defeated the Dutch!
The officer from the Southeast Mansion had no good intentions, and he clearly came to find an excuse to start a war, but our gang of stupid talents gave them the excuse! "
The relationship between the forces is intricate and complicated. When such evil neighbors come to your door, since you don’t want to pay back the money, the best strategy is to procrastinate. At most, pay a little today and a little tomorrow. You must not give the result all at once. That is to say, the price is overwhelming, and the money is paid back on the spot. Everyone is arguing and not breaking, so that the other party cannot find an excuse to fight invincibly.
Sudan thought so, and Adi Ben also thought of it. He approached Reza Youssef and said, "Our fleet is not an opponent of the Southeast Fleet!"
Reza Youssef is certainly not stupid as Minister Xi. He asked, "What do you want?"
"Protect the ship and avoid war, seek opportunities to wipe out the enemy!" Adi Ben’s method is the best of both worlds. Although avoiding a battle loses face, it is better than being wiped out by the enemy. Political opponents have no chance of rebellion except to say it badly. And even though Bao Chuan was scolded, he was a minister, and he was accustomed to being scolded a long time ago.
"Very good!" Reza Youssef agreed.
...
Chen De received Chen Tianxiao's return and jumped up in his office: "Convene a military meeting immediately!"
The officers all came. The navy took Hong Xiguan and Yan Zhang as the commander, and the 6th Army took Zhou Quanbin as the commander. They made a unanimous decision: "Killing people, paying their lives, paying debts, if the people in Banten dare to swallow our money, they want them Life!"
This is illogical. Anyway, this is how they told the participating troops. After finding a reason, they arrived at the port of Banten by boat with peace of mind. The battleships obscured the sea facing the port, and the battleships opened their artillery doors and stretched out. Out of artillery, like an angry hedgehog.
The people in Banten were so scared, how could the opponent's ship be so big and guns so much more terrifying than the Dutch fleet? !
The loudest screaming elder Karim yelled: "Where is our fleet?"
No one responded to him, all of them confiscated land and looked at the enemy ships outside the port, while the commander of the 6th Army Ali Khalid had no expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
"boom!"
The Southeast Fleet couldn't even make an ultimatum, so it fired directly and detonated the war!
...
In the morning, the sun was shining, and it was a good time for gunfire.
The cruise ship drove over, firing guns while checking the depth and hydrological conditions of the channel.
The intelligence department has prepared all the information about the port long ago, but battleships are precious, and cruise ships need to check the channel~www.wuxiaspot.com~ On the cruise ship with the ship number "Kaohsiung 31", the female general Chen Yuxue stands proudly. , Command the warship to keep approaching the opponent's fort.
The opponent's turret fired back, and the battle started completely!
The people of Banten have established a fort. Through their interactions with Hong Maofan, they know how powerful guns are, but they are unable to make them by themselves, and even less able to store and manufacture gunpowder and ammunition for a long time.
The fort built was based on the Dutch in order to win over the Bantenites in recent years, but the caliber of the artillery was pound at most, and there were no 2-pound guns. After all, the two sides were close at hand. As for the fact that they sold heavy artillery to the Southeast Mansion, they thought that they were thousands of miles apart. The Southeasterners could not use heavy artillery to attack them, and the Southeast Army could launch battleships to attack the Dutch. The shipbuilding technology was the British based in India It's sold. The British think that everyone is 20,000 miles apart, and it is impossible for people from the Southeast to sail to beat them...
