The East Indies, later called Indonesia, was loved by the Han people to call it Java. The natives of this place can be said to have been colonized since the Ming Dynasty and were not restored until the end of World War II.

The island is now the Dutch. Since they were driven away from Taiwan, this large colony has remained in the East. Moreover, it is the source of spices and the rubber resources are also very rich.

This archipelago is very long, across the west by the China, Malacca and Manlacca across the sea; and adjacent to Luzon at the east end. Both places now belong to the territory of the Chinese Dynasty, so Java has become our neighbor.

In the early morning, the island was quiet, and a sudden scream rang out. After a while, the residents around him surrounded him and saw that this small fishing village, which was quiet on weekdays, had become a purgatory on earth.

The corpse lying all over the place, you can tell at first that it had suffered inhuman torture during his lifetime. Several women who were not covered in clothes were nailed to the wall and their lower body was corrupt.

This is a small fishing village composed of indigenous people. People here fished in the era. Until the Dutch arrived, they were forced to take turns to help the Dutch grow and collect spices.

Very close to them is a small village composed of Han people, where people live relatively wealthy. The ancestors of this village fled from the late Song Dynasty and have always settled here, starting with small merchants and vendors. Almost all the people in the village are good for grandchildren, so in the Han circle, this place is called Sunjiazhuang.

Upon hearing the bad news next door, Sun Tingfang, the village chief of the Sun family, also a contemporary clan leader, sent the village youth to help, and brought medicine and food, hoping to save several survivors.

With the arrival of Chinese merchant ships, the descendants of the Han people here are living better and better. Chinese merchants like to trade these people, which invisibly lead them to become rich first. Of course, this inevitably aroused the jealousy and resentment of the local natives.

Sun Shoucai took a dozen young and strong people from the village. Halfway through, a group of Dutch people in military uniforms suddenly appeared. These people came up without saying a word and seized all the people from Sunjiazhuang, and their attitude was very bad.

Sun Shoucai's ribs were kicked off, but he still endured the pain, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile and said, "Several military masters, I have misunderstood, misunderstanding."

Several Dutch people took them to an empty place without saying a word, which was already crowded with natives.

The Dutch sent an indigenous representative and said loudly: "It was these Chinese spies. They slaughtered the fishing village and were caught by our officers on the way to escape."

The angry natives rushed forward and punched and kicked more than a dozen people, without any chance of justification, and soon there was no one like that...

The remaining mob, inspired by the Dutch, rushed into Sunjiazhuang, burned, killed, yin, and plundered... a wealthy village disappeared like this...

The massacre spread to nearby villages, and the Chinese were in trouble and were broken into their homes by groups of thugs. The day was heavy casualties.

The real culprit in the distance, a group of Dutch soldiers were smiling and watching all this on the top of the mountain. Several Dutch soldiers laughed and discussed the stupidity of the natives, and they were so happy to kill last night, and they laughed at the appearance of the girls.

The Dutch were not large, and it was not easy to rule this vast archipelago, so they thought of an unethical way, which was to provoke conflicts between local indigenous people and descendants of Han people. It was difficult to let the Han people be scapegoats, but the IQ of the local indigenous people was too touching, and they believed it with a little instigation. Every time they sent a few thugs, inciting and setting an example, countless mobs would soon participate. This move was tried and done by the Dutch.

The fundamental reason why the Dutch killed this time was that the rapid increase in the number of local Chinese and commercial success made the Dutch feel threatened and uneasy. The strength of the Chinese Dynasty made the island rejuvenate here, and they did a great job.

In many countries in Southeast Asia, the Chinese arrived much earlier than the Dutch. Due to the advanced nature of Chinese culture at that time, Chinese people accumulated a lot of wealth through hard work. Economic strength determines the right to speak. Chinese initially had a very high status in many areas of Southeast Asia. For example, during the Tang and Song Dynasties in Zhenla (today in Cambodia). If Chinese were killed, they would be sentenced to death, but if Chinese killed others, they would be fined.

The Dutch divided the indigenous people of Indonesia and Chinese, ranked Europeans as the first, foreign oriental people as the second, and Indonesian indigenous people as the lowest. Not to mention this, the Chinese born after the Dutch rule were also designated as Dutch. Of course, this is not how kind they are, but just to divert the hatred of the indigenous people. These fools forced the indigenous people to be enslaved and oppressed, but did not know who was their enemy. They did not dare to disobey the cruel white-skinned people, but instead hated the kind Chinese very much.

This is really the result that the Dutch wanted. They wanted the Chinese to be scapegoats in exchange for the loyalty of the natives.

The tragedy in Sunjiazhuang was transmitted back to the inland through Chinese merchant ships, and a newspaper in Jinling even published an article.

Today's Chinese people have a great sense of national belonging, and the victory of a series of foreign wars has already given them a sense of great power.

We can look down on Chinese overseas and laugh at their backwardness. However, others cannot bully them, beat and scold them, let alone such a slaughter with a serious plot. For a moment, the people were excited, and the chambers of commerce in various places were particularly excited, wishing that the court would start a war immediately.

The merchants could see clearly the benefits of taking over the East Indies, and for them, gold and silver were everywhere.

In the Forbidden City, in Nuanfang Pavilion, the important officials in the court arrived.

"What? I still have to fight?" Jiang Jianxun screamed in shock, and even forgot the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects.

"That's right, the East Indies is what we call Java. On this narrow archipelago, our old friend, the Dutch. They now monopolize this spice island. Do you know how much wealth these Dutch people can get every day by selling spices?" Hou Xuanyan stood up and pointed to the map and said, "We have taken down Malacca. As long as we take down the East Indies, the entire strait will be our inland sea. At that time, just passing commercial taxes will be tens of millions of times the money and food we consume in wars."

The British-Dutch war has begun, the Dutch won consecutive victories, and Hou Xuanyan has decided to help the newly established British brothers. For nothing else, it is to reclaim the last piece of land in Nanyang, which is also the southern gate of the entire Far East.

"But we still have millions of troops going to war in the desert. If we open up the battlefield again, wouldn't it be too ruthless..."

Hou Xuanyan slapped the table and said, "What does the relationship between the millions of troops and the navy? Does it mean that I also want me to send the navy to the war in Junggar? I have nearly 300,000 naval soldiers, who practice day and night, not for fishing."

The officials who had already gotten up sat down one after another, and no one wanted to get up to speak at this time. Moreover, the navy and the army were different. The benefits of each war were immediate and the victory was fast.

Moreover, the food crisis did not affect the navy's war. These people usually eat a lot. The only difference is that the territory of the empire will become larger.

Hou Xuanyan also had his own ideas. A stable eastern sea area was the premise of an expedition. The Spanish were enemies of the Chinese no matter when they were at that time.

Another important reason is that Hou Xuanyan didn't say it out loud, that is, there is the world's second largest rubber production area on the East Indies, and now the Huachao needs a large amount of rubber to make tires.
