Upon hearing the Governor's shout, everyone looked over in unison.
I saw the Governor, who was usually a gentleman, completely devoid of dignity at this time. He was running, extending his hand and shouting in a gesture, with a very anxious and worried look on his face.
How is this going? What's going on, Mr. Governor?
This is the thought that pops up in the minds of everyone who sees Anthony's words and deeds.
Su Shigui also saw it. Seeing that the Governor was so anxious, he couldn't help but think to himself: Could it be that the Governor thought of the good people like him, so he was worried? Or maybe that damn Japanese guy just now was just a liar?
No matter what others think, Anthony ran to the square in one breath. Thanks to his many years of leading the army, his physical fitness was not bad, so he didn't collapse from exhaustion, but he was also out of breath.
He tried to calm down his breathing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then shouted loudly to the men who were holding weapons and pointing at Akito: "What are you doing? Put down all your weapons!"
After finishing speaking, I thought about it and felt it was not safe, so I added and shouted: "Whoever dares to kill a Mingren, I will kill his whole family!"
"..." After hearing this, neither the Japanese nor the natives had the courage to go against the Governor's wishes, and they all put down their weapons.
However, some Dutch people were puzzled. In comparison, they dared to face the governor directly. So, a Dutchman asked in confusion: "Your Excellency, Governor, is the war won? Where is our fleet?"
Everyone else was very concerned about the Governor's answer and looked at him.
Hearing this and thinking of the Far East Fleet being wiped out, Anthony sighed and shook his head. After a while, he whispered again: "No, we lost!"
Hearing this, the Dutchman immediately became excited, pointed to someone with his hand, and said loudly: "The fleet has been defeated? Then what are these Ming people left for? Didn't I say to kill them all?"
Su Shigui originally thought that killing them must be a misunderstanding, and he thought so when Anthony anxiously stopped those people from pointing weapons at them. Therefore, when he looked at Anthony, he looked grateful.
But when he heard the Governor said he lost, he was a little surprised.
He certainly knew how powerful the Dutch fleet was. As for the Ming Dynasty, he also heard his father say that besides turmoil, there would still be turmoil, and the situation was very bad anyway. If the Dutch in Taiwan lost to the Ming Navy, he could still find a reason. It was because the Dutch in Taiwan had too few people and few warships.
But this time, did the Governor bring all the fleets, or did he join forces with the Spaniards in Luzon to defeat the Ming Dynasty Navy, so that they could be defeated? When did the Ming Kingdom become so powerful? How many years have passed and the Ming Dynasty will be so powerful? It's impossible. His father has been in Taiwan for three years, and the news he heard is all false, right?
Su Shigui was thinking about it when he suddenly heard from the Dutchman that there was indeed an order to kill them all, and his face suddenly turned pale again. It was like a thunderbolt hit him on the head, and he was extremely devastated: It turns out that it is indeed true. Mingren like himself are the cattle and sheep in the eyes of the Western Yi. They will use them when they are needed, and they will not hesitate when they are not needed. Kill on the ground.
This is the case in Luzon, but I didn’t expect it to be the same in Batavia!
At this moment, he really felt like the sky was not responding, the earth was not working, no one could help him, and he could only be slaughtered by others!
In the original history, the Ming people in Batavia, who should be called Chinese at that time, were eventually massacred by the Dutch, which was known as the Red Creek Massacre in history.
At this time, Anthony suddenly became emotional when he heard the Dutchman's question, and said angrily: "Kill, kill, kill, you don't know that the Spaniards in Luzon and the natives who killed the Ming people have already Do you know that if you are retaliated by the Ming army, you will die? Do you understand that you will die?"
After hearing the news, everyone was stunned for a moment. For a moment, they didn't understand what "death" meant?
Anthony continued to speak loudly and excitedly: "The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom said that the people of the Ming Dynasty who killed him, no matter where they are, as long as they dare to kill the people of the Ming Dynasty, Luzon is an example. Anyone who has killed the people of the Ming Dynasty has been killed by the Ming Dynasty." Massacre them all! If we kill a Ming citizen here, we will also be retaliated by the Ming army and killed by them, do you know?"
These words sounded a bit cruel and a bit domineering: If you dare to kill a Ming citizen, then the people here will also be retaliated by the Ming army, just like over there in Luzon, where they were slaughtered by the Ming army?
This idea flashed in everyone's mind, but their feelings were different.
For Su Shigui and others, they were shocked at first. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty actually said such words and defended Ming people like them overseas in this way. Is this... is this true?
After coming back to his senses, he was overjoyed, no, but cried with joy, just like a child who was bullied outside and finally saw his parents coming over and had a supporter.
For the Japanese, this feels a bit incredible. Compared with the Dutch and other Westerners, they know the Ming Dynasty better, or the Central Plains Dynasty on this land. What they preach is Confucianism, a sage within and a king outside. They must rely on their own virtue and strength to make foreign countries surrender voluntarily. How can they massacre others? This has never happened before!
However, they have no reason to doubt that it is impossible for the Governor of Batavia to make these up, right? It makes no sense to make it up. In other words, is this true? But, how could this happen?
For the Dutch, massacring all the local people was something they often did, so they were a little disapproving after hearing this. Now that Batavia's fleet is gone, it will definitely not be able to hold on. Wouldn't it be enough to kill these Ming people and then escape back to Europe? If you do this, you can also avenge the Dutch in the fleet and vent your anger!
However, when they had this idea, it showed on their faces before Anthony guessed it. Then, Anthony shouted loudly again: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty also announced to the world that if we massacred these Ming people in Batavia, he would personally lead the army to the Netherlands and massacre the entire Netherlands! You guys! Don’t believe it, he said it to everyone in the world. It’s impossible for a majestic emperor to fail to keep his words. So, put away your stupid pig-brained ideas!”
As soon as these words came out, all the Dutch people were shocked.
The Emperor of the Ming Empire in the Far East personally led an army to conquer the Netherlands in Europe. Is it possible that he had such courage?
Just imagine it in your mind and it seems incredible!
"Don't believe it!" Anthony, perhaps feeling unsafe, continued loudly, "Our entire Europe combined is only as big as this Far Eastern Empire. Their population and their warships are beyond your imagination. This time In the Battle of Luzon, the Ming Dynasty used their number of warships to arbitrarily destroy our warships. Once the Ming Emperor was angry and really had to lead a large army to conquer the Netherlands, how many warships do you think there would be? Three hundred, six hundred? Let me tell you, even if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty brought one thousand or two thousand battleships, I would not be surprised. Do you understand that they have this strength? "
The largest naval battle in Europe only involved one or two hundred battleships on one side. The Ming Dynasty could dispatch one or two thousand warships. What was the concept? If you add transport ships, logistics ships and the like, to be honest, it is really unimaginable for people from these small European countries!
At this moment, everyone was stunned. There were so many people in the square, and none of them spoke, so that there was only the sound of the sea breeze.
After a while, suddenly, the cry of "wuwuwu..." broke the peace of Batavia.
Su Shigui cried loudly, tears streaming down his face!
How could he be so virtuous? He was not in the Ming Dynasty, but he was born in the Ming Dynasty. Even if he did not contribute anything to the Ming Dynasty, all the money and taxes were given to the Dutch. However, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so concerned about them and made decisions for them. This is exactly what He De was. How can!
The Ming Dynasty gave birth to a good emperor. This is a blessing for all the people of the Ming Dynasty!
He was like this, and so were the other Mingren. They cried excitedly one by one. When they were gathered together, the sound of tears of joy was particularly loud.
Just now, they thought they were in a desperate situation, when the sky and the sky were not responding, the earth and the earth were ineffective, and no one could make decisions for them. Suddenly, they heard such news. For overseas Ming people like them, it was special. It is natural to be shocked and cry with joy.
The others, who were awakened by their cries, all looked at them with complicated emotions. There was envy in their eyes.
With such a good emperor here, who in the world would dare to do harm to these yellow-skinned, dark-eyed Mingren?
Those Japanese, especially the Japanese who had just clashed with He Su Shigui and others, slowly retreated and hid behind the others. They were afraid that Su Shigui would settle accounts with them and complain to the Governor. With the current state of the Governor, he might punish them severely to vent his anger on these Mingren.
To be honest, at this time, Anthony looked at the people in the square crying excitedly, and his mood was very complicated. After slowly scanning the square, he took a deep breath and gathered people to arrange for Akito to return to his house. Not only that, but they were also given weapons, so that even if someone wanted to harm Akito privately, they would not be without the power to resist.
As for himself, he quickly made arrangements to retreat and escape. Because the Ming army didn't give him much time, he would arrive in Batavia soon.
The Ming army told them that Anthony dared to threaten the Ming people in Batavia. Although he was let go this time, he would still be wanted until he was arrested and brought to justice.
Therefore, he must run for his life quickly!
