The next morning, the assigned personnel started working, first dispatched a part of them to repair the destroyed wooden wall and further strengthen it. The rest built screens on the open space in front of the inner city. The Dutch soldiers and prisoners who were placed at the dock yesterday were also sent to the farm to work with the indigenous prisoners. Their job was to log and widen the ditches, and the digging of soil was used to strengthen the wooden wall. The spies were also sent out to inquire about the news.

Seeing that the entire farm was in order, Zhang Zhijun was completely relieved, so he said goodbye to Li Lixin and wanted to return to Batavia City.

Li Lixin said: "Mr. Zhang, will it be dangerous if you return to Batavia like this now? Will the Dutch be unfavorable to you?"

Zhang Zhijun smiled and said, "Thank you, Chief Li for your concern, but please don't worry, our family still has some status in Java, not to mention that my father is now the Consul in Xinjiapo of the Qing Dynasty. The Red and Russians always have some concerns, at least they dare not harm me."

In fact, although Zhang Zhijun said this, he was not sure. Although it was unlikely that the Dutch would kill him, it was very likely to be arrested or placed under house arrest. However, Zhang Zhijun had the reason to return to Batavia City. Not to mention that there are many industries of the Zhang family in Batavia City, Zhang Zhijun's wife and children had a young family. And only in Batavia City, there was a telegraph bureau, so you could contact Zhang Zhenxun. Although Zhang Zhijun knew that overseas Chinese had a machine that could communicate without cables, some things needed to be privately contacted with Zhang Zhenxun.

In addition, Zhang Zhenxun now has 6 sons and 4 sons who have grown up. Although Zhang Zhijun is the eldest son and has begun to take over some family businesses, other brothers have also begun to take over power one after another. If Zhang Zhijun wants to be Zhang Zhenxun’s heir, he must have outstanding performance, so he must go back to Batavia City regardless of the danger.

However, Java Island is not a paradise. Chinese people need not only diligence and talent to make a living in Java, but also have to have considerable courage. When Zhang Zhenxun started a business in Java, it was not only full of hardships, but also encountered many dangers, but they all survived. Zhang Zhijun is Zhang Zhenxun's eldest son. Although he had passed by the most difficult time of the Zhang family after he grew up, he was far from his current family business. Therefore, Zhang Zhijun worked hard with Zhang Zhenxun and saw many thrilling scenes, and was still a little brave.

Seeing that Zhang Zhijun had decided, Li Lixin was not willing to persuade him anymore, so he wrote a letter to the Governor of Batavia in the name of the East China government. The wording was extremely tough and asked Zhang Zhijun to hand it over to the Governor of Batavia, hoping to have some powerful effect on the Dutch; he also took a single radio station and handed it over to Zhang Zhijun, and taught him the method of use, and agreed to make a call once a day to inform the People's Army of the situation in Batavia City, but within 20 days, he must leave the city and hand it over to the People's Army to recharge or replace one. If there is no call for three days, it can be regarded as Zhang Zhijun being arrested or under house arrest. There, the People's Army will consider rushing into Batavia City to rescue, or attack the Governor of Batavia Palace, and seize the Governor of Batavia, and exchange it.

Although Zhang Zhijun was very suspicious of whether the People's Army had such ability, he was still very grateful for the People's Army's attitude. Moreover, Li Lixin handed over the individual radio station to him, which was also trusting him. So Zhang Zhijun said goodbye to Li Lixin and returned to Batavia City with his own guards. Li Lixin arranged a platoon of troops to escort Zhang Zhijun and his party, and arrived less than 20 kilometers from Batavia City before returning to the farm.

When Zhang Zhijun arrived at Batavia City, it was around 4:00 pm, and the road leading to Batavia City was blocked by the horse sandbags, and there were soldiers guarding it with guns and live ammunition. Batavia was built in the style of a European city and did not build a wall. Of course, when he saw Zhang Zhijun, the guards immediately let them enter Batavia City. After entering Batavia City, Zhang Zhijun was also quite surprised. The city was in chaos, and many people were loading horses and loading cars, as if they were about to leave.

It turned out that yesterday morning, the Dutch Navy returned in a defeat. Only one of the six warships that fought returned, and only two warships were left behind. This result shocked the entire city of Batavia. This morning, news came from outside the city that overseas Chinese actually borrowed the Zhang family to go ashore at the pier outside the city, and defeated the three tribe coalition forces on the Zhang family's farm, which made the whole city of Batavia fall into great fear. It is difficult to make it happen. Are overseas Chinese planning to capture Batavia? Therefore, William Rosbru, the governor of Batavia, did not care about holding commander Hulvig responsible, and immediately ordered Hulvig to organize Batavia's defense immediately.

Helvig was not only the commander of the navy, but also the highest military commander of the entire Java Island. Therefore, he immediately ordered the army to immediately block the roads entering Batavia City and set up a horse-rejecting sandbag to prevent attacks from overseas Chinese.

As soon as Zhang Zhijun returned to his house, his family immediately informed him that it turned out that since the morning, the Governor's Office had sent three groups of personnel to find him, and asked Zhang Zhijun to go to the Governor's Office immediately as soon as he came back.

This was also as expected by Zhang Zhijun. He first returned to the inner room, called his wife, taught her how to use the infantry radio, and spoke with Li Lixin in front of her, agreeing that if he was detained by the Dutch colonial authorities, his wife would immediately call for help from the People's Army through the radio. Then he called a confidant family member and dictated the content of a telegram, asking him to send it to Zhang Zhenxun quickly, and told Zhang Zhenxun what happened here. After arranging these things, Zhang Zhijun left the mansion and came to the Governor's Mansion.

After seeing Governor Rosblu, Zhang Zhijun gave the letter from the East China government to Rosblu without waiting for him to speak. Originally, Rosblu had a lot of words to ask Zhang Zhijun, but when he heard that it was a letter from an overseas Chinese, he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly took the letter and opened it to see it.

Although the letter was written in English, Rosblu could still understand it. The content first accused the Dutch Batavian authorities of failing to control the situation, which led to the occurrence of the anti-Chinese incident, which greatly harmed the personal and property of the Chinese in Batavian. The Batavian authorities needed to bear full responsibility for this. Therefore, the People's Army rushed to Batavia to protect its expatriates. It was not against the Batavian authorities and asked the Batavian authorities not to interfere with the actions of the People's Army. Otherwise, the People's Army would be regarded as hostile and would take necessary measures to counter the situation. Of course, effective measures should be taken as soon as possible to prevent the expansion and spread of the anti-Chinese incident, severely punish the perpetrators, compensate the Chinese for their losses, etc.

After reading it, Rosblu's face was incredible. Although the wording of the letter was quite stern and there was no lack of threatening intentions, it also expressed that it was not directed at the Batavian authorities. Of course, it was not ruled out that this was a superficial article, which made the Batavian authorities relax. After overseas Chinese controlled Java under the pretext of protecting overseas Chinese, the Batavian authorities were helpless. However, overseas Chinese held a great victory at sea and had successfully landed on the shore, so the meaning expressed in this letter should not be underestimated.

After a while, Rosblu came to his senses and said, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that overseas Chinese dock through your Zhang family's wharf and live in your farm?"

Zhang Zhijun nodded and said, "Yes."

Rosblu stared at Zhang Zhijun and sternly said, "Why do you do this? Don't you know? Overseas Chinese are invading, an invasion of our Dutch Kingdom."

Zhang Zhijun said: "This is my father's decision. I just do it according to his instructions. You should know that the head of our family is my father."

Rosblu waved his hands and shouted: "No matter who the head of your family is, no matter who the decision is, your actions are betrayal, a betrayal of Java, and a betrayal of Batavia authorities, which is absolutely unforgivable."

Zhang Zhijun also raised his voice and said, "We did not condemn Java because overseas Chinese only wanted to protect the Chinese and did not want to invade Batavia. And Mr. Governor, before the anti-China incident occurred, I reminded you that you hope you can take measures to stop the expansion of the anti-China incident, otherwise the consequences will be unstoppable. However, you refused to stop the situation on the grounds that Batavia's troops were insufficient and powerless, and allowed the situation to expand. This led overseas Chinese to protect overseas Chinese, so it was you who caused the current situation. Since Batavia's troops were insufficient, wouldn't it be nice for overseas Chinese to help?"

After hearing this, Rosblu couldn't help but feel angry and said, "This is Java, not China. No matter what happens here, it has nothing to do with overseas Chinese. Do you think I don't know their background? They are just local officials of the Qing Dynasty, not an East China government at all, and they are not qualified to speak on behalf of the Qing Dynasty. The Chinese here have nothing to do with them." It turned out that after the fleet was defeated yesterday, Rosblu began to pay attention and hurriedly inquired about the situation of overseas Chinese, and also learned about the situation of 6 or 7 points.

However, Zhang Zhijun also heard Roseblu's weakness in his words, so he said: "Mr. Governor, it is useless for you to tell me whether the East China government is qualified to represent the Qing Dynasty. At least they think they have it. Maybe you can protest to the Qing Dynasty through diplomatic channels. Of course, if you want me to convey your attitude to the People's Army, I am happy to serve you, but I suggest you better write a reply letter, which will appear more formal."

Rosblu stared at Zhang Zhijun and looked for a long time before saying, "No, I will naturally find you when I need you to deliver a letter. You should go back first. It is best to stay at home honestly these days, don't run around, and don't think about leaving the city. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Zhang Zhijun was relieved. He knew that he had passed this level, so he said, "Okay, I will wait patiently for the summons of the Governor at home and say goodbye."
