Chapter 237: The Railway Project(2/2)
But what does this matter! A comprehensive cleaning will be carried out in the future.
The attack went smoothly and it took only one month to wipe out the resistance of West Java. The King of West Java quickly surrendered and the entire Java Island was controlled.
There were many strongholds in West Java, and the Javanese governor sent defensive personnel in every town. Many of these soldiers were recruited from local Chinese, and only a small number of regular troops were leading them.
The Chinese on Java Island changed rapidly in their status, and within months they became the most authoritative group on Java Island, and the suppression of Java natives was carried out every day.
The activities of Chinese on Java Island are protected by soldiers, and there is no need to pay messy taxes. Every Chinese can obtain land. The indigenous people have to pay more taxes, more than those of the Dutch before.
Indigenous people who resist taxes and land acquisition will all be brutal suppression.
If the troops of the Nanyang Infantry Brigade were originally unable to be completed, after all, they were combat troops rather than defensive troops. However, after arming tens of thousands of Chinese, the situation would be different.
The Java governor ordered the confiscation of all weapons from the South China natives. The soldiers in each place had tasks every day, either suppressing or searching, or pursuing land and assisting the officials of the Java king to collect taxes. The taxes collected were naturally from the government. The Java king is now eating sweet potatoes! It is not convenient to carry out direct rule, so he was kept.
For the Java governor, this tax is too small.
The monkey in Nanyang is lazy and has no skills. Hard labor is not hard labor, and the service industry is not very good, which makes him and the officials at the top and bottom hate him.
Every time we deal with indigenous riots, we have three simple words - suppression.
