Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1230 Nanyang Incident
"Second brother, those two Dutch ships seem to be watching us!" After sailing for a certain distance, Gao Yizhen suddenly felt that something was wrong. The two Dutch ships had already turned, one left and one right as if they were holding them.

At this time, Gao Laosan also shouted loudly on the lookout of the mast. "Second brother, the Dutch let us enter the port of Malacca for inspection!"

The Fushan, flying the Luzon flag and the Zheng family flag, did not know that the Dutch suddenly tore up the Ming-Dutch agreement.

Gao Yihuan was also a little confused, but he just thought that the Dutch were afraid of tax evasion, so he detained them. "These red-haired ghosts are just paying money. Since there is an agreement, how can we lose them? Doing business is all about integrity. Let's go to Malacca to rest for two days!"

Gao Yihuan ran a boat for the first time. When he left Malacca, he also encountered Dutch ships, but the Dutch gunboats did not monitor them like prisoners like this time, and asked them to enter the port.

Because there is only a big port like Malacca nearby, and the Indian Ocean is just outside of Malacca. It takes more than a month to sail to Ceylon Island and the east coast of India. Ships must replenish in Malacca before entering the Indian Ocean, so the Dutch generally only need to sit in the port. Just wait for the merchant ship to enter the port.

The behavior this time was really strange, but Gao Yihuan was inexperienced, so he thought it was red-haired and narrow-minded.

In fact, Gao Yihuan doesn’t quite understand. There are only more than 2000 Dutch people in Malacca, but the ships that come and go have to pay taxes to them. How can such a good place be taken by a group of red-haired ghosts who came from thousands of miles away? Woolen cloth?what a shame.

After sailing for half a day, Gao Yihuan's lucky boat entered Malacca under the surveillance of two Heyi gunboats. He didn't know that the situation had changed, but even if he knew, it wouldn't work. There were only two guns on his ship. It is impossible to be the opponent of the two Heyi warships.

The boat sails into the harbor and slowly enters the bay, where a stone-stacked pier juts out into the sea.

The entire harbor is surrounded by mountains, the entrance is very narrow, but the inside is very wide, it is a natural safe haven.

On a hill next to the harbor, there is a stone fort, which is extremely strong. It is said that it was built by the Portuguese and later fell into the hands of the Dutch.

This castle is where the Dutch in Malacca lived. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is their base camp.

On the beach below the fortress is the city of Malacca, but there is no city wall, but a large number of stone and wooden houses.

Malacca is a city developed due to maritime trade. In addition to warehouses and hotels, these houses also have restaurants and brothels. There are people coming and going. About 5 to [-] people live here.

The entrance to the port is very wide, and ships can dock beside the pier. Gao Yihuan took a look and saw [-] or [-] lucky boats parked on one side. He was not surprised and a little surprised.

If it weren't for the Dutch flag flying on the stone fort on the top of the mountain, and seeing so many lucky boats, he really thought it was a seaport of the Ming Dynasty.

As they approached the pier, the sailors on board began to get excited. Malacca was an important node in the voyage. There were vegetables, fruits, fresh water, meat, and even many women. The sailors who had been wandering for a long time began to get restless.

However, when they entered the harbor, there was a large group of Dutch soldiers in the castle of Malacca, holding muskets and coming towards the pier.

At this time, there were more than ten Dutchmen standing on the pier, and the leader was a leader of He Yi with a red beard. When they saw a lucky boat coming to the pier, they couldn't help smiling at He Yi beside them, and then waved their heads, beckoning them to help. stop the boat.

The ship approached the pier, and the sailors on the ship threw the rope over. The Dutch on the shore helped to fix the ship, and the anchor was lowered on the ship.

As soon as he stepped off the boat, a group of Dutch soldiers with muskets had already arrived at the pier. The red beard immediately smiled triumphantly, and said in poor Chinese: "Stupid pigs, hand over your gold and silver, and then all kneel down." , the ship and cargo are ours."

After hearing his words, Gao Yihuan and the shopkeeper of the Zheng family who had just disembarked looked at each other in disbelief.

At this time, the Dutch soldiers from the brigade suddenly rushed over, raised their muskets, and aimed at Gao Yihuan and his group who disembarked, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper of the Zheng family immediately said, "What are you going to do? We are people with the surname Zheng Guo. Daming has a treaty with the Netherlands, so why are you robbing our cargo..."

Gao Yihuan was also filled with righteous indignation, but at this moment, the red-bearded He Yi did not answer the words of the shopkeeper of the Zheng family.

Gao Yihuan saw the red-haired ghost, suddenly raised the short gun in his hand, and heard a "bang" gunshot, and the shopkeeper of the Zheng family next to him was shot backwards, with a blood hole in his chest, and big pus gushed out. of blood.

Before he could finish a sentence, He Yi shot at him directly. This was too barbaric. Gao Yihuan had never seen such a scene before, and his face turned pale with fright.

He saw the red-haired barbarian put away the smoking musket proudly, and said contemptuously: "Yellow-skinned monkey, the civilized world doesn't need to tell monkeys any rules!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dutch soldiers raised their guns and forced them up. Several old sailors wanted to draw their swords to resist. The Dutch pulled the trigger without hesitation, and knocked down several people in a row. The pier was instantly stained red with blood. One day, the sailor was shot and beaten for the slightest movement, and Gao Yihuan froze with fright.

After the Ming-Dutch agreement, ships of the Ming Dynasty and its vassals could enter and leave Malacca, and they only needed to pay the Dutch a certain amount of toll.

The toll fee was also agreed upon by both parties, and it was stipulated that it was [-]% of the goods.

According to the private agreement between Luzon king Zhu Yihai and Wang Yan, early this year Luzon had declared itself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and Luzon was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. The agreement between the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands also applies to Luzon.

This is because Daming's vassal policy stipulates that the vassals are not allowed to sign any treaties with any forces in private, and can only be signed by Daming as the suzerain state.

This is tantamount to depriving the vassals of their independent diplomatic power, but the vassals also enjoy all the advantages stipulated in the treaty signed by Ming Dynasty with other countries.

Since the signing of the agreement, a large number of ships from the Ming Dynasty, Luzon, Annan, Guangnan, and Ryukyu came to Malacca, and then headed west to India for trade.

Before, because of the hostility between the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands, the Dutch controlled Malacca, and the ships of the Ming Dynasty and its vassals could only be trapped in Nanyang. In order to obtain supplies, the Dutch also gained the opportunity to trade with the Ming Dynasty. Merchants were able to trade and purchase goods in the five major coastal ports of the Ming Dynasty.

This situation has existed for more than three or four years, and it has been peaceful. Gao Yihuan really can't imagine why this kind of change suddenly occurred when he was about to return to the sea for the first time.

In fact, if one party wants to rise, it will inevitably conflict with the traditional boss. The contradiction between the two is difficult to reconcile.

After the Ming Dynasty signed the treaty with the Netherlands, it seemed to be a win-win situation. However, with the unobstructed shipping routes in Malacca, the increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty maritime merchants would naturally not be limited to Southeast Asia. A large number of ships began to sail to India, and even to Mumbai on the west coast of India. It made the Dutch unacceptable.

Although it is stated that the North Korean merchant ships can charge a large amount of fees when they pass through Malacca, but they are not satisfied with this. They are sea coachmen.

The maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty shipped their goods to India and traded with the feudal princes in the Mughal Empire, which was naturally unacceptable to the Dutch.

The Dutch did not expect this situation. They did not expect that the ships of the Ming Dynasty would go to India on a large scale to grab their jobs.

From the perspective of the East India Company, after signing the agreement, although they lost Taiwan, they obtained the right to trade with the Ming Dynasty, and they could purchase materials from Ming Dynasty and ship them to other places.

Although this makes them need to compete with Portugal, Spain, and the British, they have not achieved their goal of monopolizing trade with Ming Dynasty, but at least they can obtain the right to trade with China, but they did not expect that they obtained the right to purchase goods from China , The merchants of the Ming Dynasty also gained the power to break out of the blockade.

As the ships of the Ming Dynasty went to India, the East India Company’s income shrank sharply. Coupled with the fact that a large number of Ming Dynasty people entered Nanyang to make a living, the Ming Dynasty’s power in Nanyang grew rapidly, posing a huge threat to the East India Company and making the Netherlands People began to worry that their colonial rule would be challenged by the Ming Dynasty.

Half a month ago, the Spanish expedition fleet arrived at the Sulu Islands at the southwestern tip of Luzon Island. The Dutch East India Company, which was dissatisfied with the treaty, immediately sensed the opportunity and colluded with their enemies, the Spaniards, and decided to tear up the Ming-Dutch Agreement. Force the Ming Dynasty to sign a new treaty.

The situation of Gao Yihuan and the others is not bad. The Dutch just seized the ship and took them as hostages. But for those Chinese who have lived in Java and other places for a long time, the Dutch directly adopted a policy of massacre.

In order to keep the colony, they worried that the Chinese in Java and other places would be too powerful, which would attract the Ming Dynasty to spy on Java.

Especially after Zheng Chenggong occupied Luzon and drove away the Spaniards, the Dutch were even more worried, so they decided to take this opportunity to eliminate the Chinese in Java and other places to prevent them from colluding with the Ming Dynasty.

In just a few days, the Chinese in Batavia were killed by the Dutch, and the rest fled the city to avoid the Dutch.

The Han people who have lived in Nanyang for several generations in the city and accumulated a large family business have become the main targets of killing by the Dutch colonial authorities. Just like the crimes committed by the colonists in America and Africa, they wantonly shot innocent Han people and robbed generations. People accumulate property, insult women, do all kinds of evil...
