Chapter 99 Lanfang

Yamaguchi Kun is a small fish port in Lanfang, only more than 100 kilometers away from the capital Dongwanlu.

In 1884, the 39th year of Ganxing, in the year of Jiashen, in August of the autumn, the thirteenth "Jia Tai" Liu A was born and died in the new port of Pontianak. The Du people took advantage of the mourning to send troops to occupy Dongwanlu.

"Jia Tai" is an official title granted by everyone in the Netherlands. Previously, the leader of Lan Fang Kingdom was called "Tai Ge". Since the sixth Liu Tai Er, Tai Ge was renamed "Jia Tai", and the deputy leader, also renamed "Ka Bidan".

The change in name shows that in addition to asking for recommendation from his own tribe, the leader of Lanfang also had to be approved by the Dutch. From then on, the Dutch's power became increasingly powerful, and Lanfang's company had to pay taxes to the Dutch - of course the tax rate was negotiated, and the Dutch would leave a part of it to Lanfang's company. Liu Taier, once was locked up and removed from his clan because he was accused of colluding with the Dutch.

First in early August, Liu Asheng arrived in Xinbu and died of illness. Dutch colonial officials pretended to be famous. Jia Tacheng took Liu Asheng's family to carry the coffin to the east, and he was unprepared to occupy Dongwanlu, broke the front mast of the hall, teared Lanfang's national flag, and forced the Liu family to hand over the seals of Lanfang's general system, and did not allow the general to be promoted.

The conflict between Chinese people in Borneo and the Dutch and local indigenous people has been long-standing, mainly because the Dutch bribed and encouraged the indigenous people to hate the Chinese in order to oppress the Chinese. At this time, Liu Asheng was about to die, and the Dutch actually took advantage of the situation to rob, so naturally the Chinese were very angry.

In October, the Dutch and Indian government sent Lizke to take office in Dongwanlu. On the 23rd, Liang Luyi, a Chinese from Dongwanlu, secretly gathered Chinese people to counterattack the Netherlands, restored the General Office, and killed Dutch officer A Chengjian, and the Dutch army was defeated. Lizke was also killed by the Chinese rebel army led by Liang Luyi. The people of the Lanfang Republic organized more than a thousand people to resist the Dutch invasion and hoarded enough food for a year. Some women and children were dispersed to Sarawak, and the local Malays and Dayaks supported the resistance of the Republic.

Although the Netherlands was defeated, it did not retreat. Instead, it bribed the local indigenous people and drove the indigenous people to attack the Chinese. However, because the indigenous people lacked equipment, they did not succeed. On the fifth day of the September 2018, the Eastern Emperor Long trader Guan Du tried to use the traitor Lin Zutang Tang Yan, saying that Dongwanluliang Road was unprepared, so he led a team to go deeper. It happened to be met by Dai Yuelan, Qiu Yaolang, Lai Youchuan and others who were hunting. Several people fired with bird guns in their hands. The Chinese rebels who heard the sound of gunfire nearby immediately rushed to support. The Dutch soldiers fled in a hurry, and the pass was killed by force.

In January 1885, the Dutch and Indian suppressed the army to repel the republic of Liang Luyi and retreated to Pontianak. The Dutch and Indian regime asked the Sultan of Pontianak to make peace, but was rejected by the Republic. After that, the Dutch and Indian troops increased by 200 troops, trying to reverse the situation. However, they still repelled the rebels of the Republic.

In 1886, the East India Company increased its troops by another 300, and it was still repelled by the Lanfang Republic. Until July, Liang Luyi led the people of Lanfang to persist in the War of Resistance for two years, but was the traitor Liu Enguan, Zheng Zhengxin, Ye Tingfan, Wu Guisan, Guo Yawei, Yu Kang, Huang Fuyuan, Chen Heer, Luo Sating, Lin Zutang and others, and was defeated by the war because of the lack of arms and outnumbered.

Just when Liang Luyi was about to die in Kuala Lumpur due to failure, the Zhennan Army appeared.

After checking the official seal letters of Chen Shangfa and others, Liang Luyi and Lai Youchuan and others were crying: "We are wandering overseas in a foreign land, and we miss our hometown all day long. We have been looking forward to this day for more than a hundred years!"

Chen Shangfa quickly helped everyone up and comforted them with kind words. It was not until everyone's mood calmed down that they asked about the current situation. It turned out that the Dutch, traitors and indigenous people had joined forces to occupy the Lanfang area in full. This is the last stronghold, just to protect a port and escape to the Malay Peninsula or Sumatra.

However, due to concerns about the Qing Dynasty, the Netherlands did not publicly claim that it had occupied the Lanfang area, but established another puppet to rule, namely the 14th "Article" Liu Enguan, the son of Liu Asheng. The Dutch governor of Batavia was afraid of China's crimes and even dismissed the official position to comfort the Chinese people in Pontianak and did not dare to think that they were directly under the territory. Including the war in the past two years, it was also said that it was the battle between Lanfang's country.

Chen Shangfa understood the current situation, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Liang, everyone. In the current situation, since the Dutch have not broken up, the court is not easy to participate openly. It is not convenient for us to appear publicly for the time being. This official believes that Mr. Liang is still the leader, and at the same time, he recruits some local Chinese righteous men to supplement us. To the outside world, he said that he was recruiting bandits who fled from the north. Let's first defend the three-guard Kun, and then recover the lost territory in the goal."

Liang Luyi had no objection and said, "It depends entirely on the master."

Chen Shangfa repeatedly emphasized: "We must pay attention to keeping our identity confidential so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the court."

After leaving Chen Shangfa, on the way, Lai Youchuan and others said, "Chief, this court has only sent a few hundred people, but there are hundreds of Dutch red-haired people, plus those traitors and indigenous people, there are tens of thousands. Can they be reliable?"

Although these Chinese are overseas, they know a little bit about the level of the Qing court. When dealing with foreigners, they are always bullied. If this were not the case, they would not even dare to bully them, a small Dutch country.

Liang Luyi was actually not sure, but she was a courageous person at least. Seeing that everyone was hesitant, she immediately said: "Brothers, think about the past, no matter how hard we were, the court had a concern for each other, let alone send troops to support us. Now we are waiting day and night, and finally we have been looking forward to the people of the court. How can we hesitate? Moreover, we are at the end of our lives now, and now we have to rely on the court's last hope. Don't think about it, we will all gather our people, hurry up and rectify our arms, and prepare to work with the Dutch devils!"

Everyone said after hearing this: "It's still Brother Liang's words that are right. We all listen to you. Let's gather people now."

After all, Liang Luyi and others have a mass base in the Chinese circle. Although they have reached the end of their lives, they have recruited more than 1,000 people in just two days. Chen Shangfa has organized these people into his team and arranged for the team to lead the new with the old and quickly form combat effectiveness.

While Liang Luyi and Chen Shangfa were actively preparing for the war, the Dutch colonists were also ready for the final battle.

"Governor, this time, we gathered 500 gunmen, plus 5,000 Chinese and indigenous soldiers, and it is completely possible to fight and drive the rebels out of the sea."

The one who spoke was Gada, the initiator of this incident. Although he was nominally dismissed from his official position by the Governor, it was only for the Qing court to see. In fact, Gada is now the first person in fact Lan Fang.

The Governor Batavia was very satisfied with Gada's handling of this matter. Seeing that the last stronghold of Lanfang's Revolutionary Army was within reach, he expanded the colony for the Netherlands Kingdom again, so he was naturally very happy. "Garda, you are very visionary, smart, and know how to take advantage of the opportunity. You have made an indelible contribution to the victory of the kingdom this time. I have reported this matter to the country. I believe that the domestic commendation will be passed back soon. After I return to China in the future, the position of the Governor will definitely be yours."

Gada hurriedly said, "I dare not, you dare not, these are all good things for you, Governor. You dare not be greedy for merit."

Batavia nodded with satisfaction: "I understand your feelings. OK, the soldiers have almost rested. Tomorrow, it's time for them to gain."

Sangukun and the Dutch's movements had been reported to Chen Shangfa in detail. Chen Shangfa immediately summoned the officers and Liang Luyi and others to discuss: "Although we have added some new recruits, the time is too short and we cannot form combat effectiveness now. The enemy has prepared for an attack. For the sake of this, we can only rely on urban buildings, build defense lines, and resist the enemy's attack. We hope that in the battle, we can familiarize ourselves with the weapons and battlefield environment as soon as possible."

Liang Luyi and others also knew that the enemy was large and we were few, and the number of soldiers was several times different. It was really difficult to defeat. "We understand that in war, Lord Chen, you are an expert. We will follow your instructions and do whatever you ask you to do."

Chen Shangfa was also not vague, "Okay, now you will organize the civilians to build a defense line in the city. Once we can't stand outside the city, we will rely on this defense line after we retreat to the city. In addition, once we retreat to the city, the enemy may be besieging the city, so we must concentrate food and other materials in advance for allocation."

Liang Luyi and others could do these things and immediately take the order and leave. Chen Shangfa immediately assigned defensive tasks to his subordinates and told everyone to pay attention to protecting the safety of the new recruits in the battle. "After all, they have never been on the battlefield. You should try to protect them as much as possible, because they are the seeds of our future combat. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand!" Everyone took the order and left, waiting for tomorrow to fight.

The next morning, each of the officers and soldiers of Zhennan Army had a full meal, and carried some clear water and dry food with them, and began to garrison on the positions, waiting for the enemy's attack. Zhennan Army, which has been fighting in the subtropical areas for many years, knew that on such a battlefield, there was no big problem without food. Without clear water, you would not be able to persevere for a day.

As the sun gradually rises, the heat gradually becomes heavier, but the enemy shows no sign of attack.

On the other hand, Chen Heer was questioning the Kundian Chief: "Chief, it's already ten o'clock in the morning. Why are your soldiers not ready for attack?"

Chen Heer was a Chinese and a subordinate of the current Grandpa Liu Enguan. He was born with some military talent, so Liu Enguan took him as the commander-in-chief and captured the front line with the Dutch, and the natives surrounded and suppressed the Lanfang Revolutionary Army.

As the leader of the indigenous army, Kundian has long been tired of the battles in the past two years. He has this large number of plantations in the southern part of Lanfang. In previous years, he should have been drinking juice and enjoying the shade of trees, but now he has to fight the Revolutionary Army. However, the Dutch cannot offend him, and he still has to make it difficult. Moreover, thinking that once the three-guard Kun is conquered, there will be a large number of Chinese beauties and wealth waiting for him, Kundian's heart can't help but become hot.

Indigenous women have not had fair and delicate skin as well as Chinese, and their figures are much worse. Now there are four Chinese girls in Kundian as their female slaves. Only by experiencing them can you know the taste.

But looking at the scorching sun above my head, Kun Dian touched his face and said lazily: "Mr. Chen, the weather is so hot now that the soldiers need to rest and cannot fight."

Chen Heeryi heard this and said angrily: "What? It rained two days ago. You said you couldn't fight, so that Liang Luyi had a chance to breathe. Now it's clear, and you said it's too hot. Do you don't want to do it anymore? Find excuses?"

Kundian looked at Chen Heer coldly and said lightly: "Mr. Chen, I am not your subordinate. You are just a stray dog. It's not your turn to shout at me."

"You! OK, okay, I'll go see Lord Gada now and see what he says."
