During this period, there was also a Javan anti-colonial organization, which sent two representatives to take the initiative to contact the People's Army, hoping that the People's Army could help them drive away the Dutch colonists and enable Java to achieve national independence.

Now the anti-colonial resistance movement in Java has entered a low period, but there are still multiple anti-colonial organizations operating in secret. After the People's Army landed in Java, the anti-colonial organizations have different attitudes towards the People's Army. Some organizations believe that they can cooperate with the People's Army and jointly expel the Dutch colonists, but some believe that after the People's Army landed, they are all Javanese natives, and they are birds of feathers with Dutch colonists. The former is basically Javanese people who have a certain blood relationship with the Chinese or descendants of early Chinese in Java, and they have a certain favorable impression of China, while the latter is mostly Javanese natives. In their eyes, Chinese, like colonists, are all outsiders and should be expelled from Java.

But finally an anti-colonial organization decided to contact the People's Army to try it out. Even if it fails, it will only kill two envoys. If they can get help from the People's Army, it will be of great help to their resistance. So they sent two people to make up and become refugees, sneak into the farm, and finally contact the People's Army and make their own request.

After receiving this information, Shang Jinfeng, Wang Hailong, Zhang Wei, Luo Yue and other leaders of the People's Army were also a little surprised, but they immediately reported to Qingdao.

Xia Bohai and others from Qingdao were very happy after receiving the report. Although the East China government did not intend to occupy Java this time, in the long run, the East China government would sooner or later expand its power to Southeast Asia. Therefore, although it is of little use in the short term, it is very likely to be used as a secret move in the future. And even if it is not used, it will not be much to lose some funds and force.

However, after discussions by the Executive Meeting, it was believed that at present, it is not appropriate to give too much money and weapons to this organization, but should focus on education and training. We should fully cultivate pro-China forces in this organization, gradually increase the influence of the East China government in this organization, and also improve the strength of this organization. This not only will the goal be long-term, but also does not need to invest too much in the early stage, so as not to make up for the loss.

Therefore, the Executive Ministry informed the Java command of the People's Army, Luo Yue came forward to receive two representatives of the anti-colonial organization, saying that the East China government supports Java's anti-colonial struggle, achieve national independence, and can provide secretly with the funds and weapons needed to resist the Dutch colonial government. At the same time, it can also teach and train the core anti-colonial personnel, and publicly support the anti-colonial organization at appropriate times. However, the anti-colonial organization was asked to send people of weight to conduct detailed negotiations. So the two representatives were very happy and hurriedly said goodbye and left and went back to deliver the letter.

Of course, this move is just a piece of cloth and is not useful at present. The People's Army's continuous attacks finally caused panic among many indigenous tribes in Java. After all, three tribes have been brought to the People's Army, two of which are large tribes with nearly 10,000 people, and no one wants to be the fourth one. So when the Dutch government mobilized these tribes to attack overseas Chinese, it was very smoothly responded to many tribes.

Some tribes were always very dissatisfied with the Dutch colonial government, and secretly did something to resist the colonial government, but at this time they chose to cooperate with the colonial government to fight against overseas Chinese. Moreover, the Dutch colonial government was not stingy at this time, not only to cover all the tribes' diet during the war, but also to give a heavy reward. Because if the People's Army cannot be defeated, the Dutch colonial government will lose much greater than what it is now.

In the end, a total of 13 tribes were willing to send troops to participate in the war, with a total force of more than 9,000. Together with the Dutch colonial government's own army, the total force exceeded 13,000. The force was not bad, but the 13 numbers were an ominous number in European countries, so the colonial government also felt that it was a little awkward.

However, although the natives have many troops, they basically use cold weapons. Even if they have a little rifle, they are old-fashioned single-shot rifles or scattered guns. Therefore, the Dutch colonial government decided to take out more than 1,800 spare rifles in stock and distribute them to each tribe free of charge in proportion to enhance the strength of each tribe. However, the tribe must be brought to Java before they will be distributed to them. Otherwise, what if they run away with the gun?

At this time, nine tribes led their troops to Batavia, with a total force of more than 6,000, and received guns and the first reward funds from the colonial government. However, the British fleet issued a warning to the colonial government, demanding that the colonial government send troops as soon as possible.

In fact, there were still 5 or 6 days left before the 15-day deadline reached by the British fleet and the People's Army. There was no need to be too anxious, but the People's Army's continuous attacks not only made the natives feel the pressure, but also made the situation in Java further worse. Now some natives dare not rob the Chinese, but turned their targets to European merchants. Now more than 1,000 European merchants are housed in Batavia, including many British merchants. Since the British fleet is here, British merchants have complained to the British fleet, demanding that the British fleet come forward to put pressure on and restore the stable situation in Java.

Of course, the British fleet cannot fight, so they can only put pressure on the colonial government. Anyway, after you fight, no matter who wins or loses, the chaos in Java will end. Of course, it is better to fight early than to fight late.

Of course, the Dutch colonial government did not dare to neglect the demands of Britain. Moreover, the pressure faced by the colonial government is greater than that of Britain, and all tribes have basically agreed. However, some tribes have to prepare for it because they have not arrived because of their distance. Cbatavia is more than 60 kilometers away from the farm, and this battle is unlikely to end in one day. Positions and commands must be established on the front line. Therefore, it is better to send troops immediately and establish positions on the front line first, and let the four tribes that have not yet arrived go directly to the front line to join.

So the colonial government also announced that it would immediately send troops to attack the farm and group the existing forces. The colonial government troops were organized into two armies, named the Government Army 1 and the Government Army 2. There were also 12 75mm field artillery and 5 88mm* artillery, which were organized into separate artillery. These three troops would be the main force of this battle. After all, these armies were trained formally; and now the indigenous tribes arrived in Batavia were organized into the Tribe 1 and the Tribe 2. After the remaining 4 tribes arrived, they would be organized into the Tribe 3 armies as a support force.

The next morning, the troops set out from Batavia in turn and headed towards the farm.

The People's Army basically understands the dynamics of the colonial government, thanks to Zhang Zhijun's information in Batavia City. Of course, the People's Army did not do anything. Now Zhang Zhijun is still safe and sound in Batavia City, and his actions are basically self-confident, which is entirely the efforts of the People's Army.

Since the People's Army landed in Java, some people in Batavia advocated taking Zhang Zhijun as hostages and threatening the People's Army, because they all believed that the People's Army was attracted by the Zhang family. However, the colonial government considered that the Zhang family had too much influence in Java and that Zhang Zhenxun was also the Qing court's consul in Singapore. Once Zhang Zhijun was arrested, the influence was too great, so it only restricted Zhang Zhijun to the city and prohibited him from going out.

However, as the People's Army's actions became more and more popular, the calls for the arrest of Zhang Zhijun in Batavia became higher and higher, and some people advocated that Zhang Zhijun should be executed immediately to show the determination of the Dutch colonial government.

However, the British fleet required the Dutch colonial government not to retaliate against the Chinese in Batavia before the battle ended, and the colonial government really did not dare to take action. Of course, there were more and more tribes joining the colonial government, and the confidence of the colonial government increased greatly. He was not in a hurry to attack the Zhang family. Anyway, people were in Batavia and their industries were on Java Island. Are you still afraid that he would fly into the sky? After defeating the People's Army, they would slowly deal with the Zhang family. Many officials of the colonial government have set their sights on the Zhang family's industries in Java, and are engaged in a series of open and secret struggles.

Zhang Zhijun was able to ensure his safety for the time being. Now he also knew that his destiny was closely tied to overseas Chinese. Only when overseas Chinese win could he be spared, so he spared no expense and made a lot of money to buy the middle and lower-level staff of the Governor's Office. As long as it was the colonial government, it would collect all the news, and use all other channels at the same time, and report the collected information to the People's Army through the infantry radio station. As a result, the People's Army could basically grasp the dynamics in Batavia City.

Of course, after the People's Army's large troops arrived in Java, the People's Army did not only attack the indigenous tribes, and did not relax the defense of the farm. Moreover, the People's Army has captured more than 1,000 indigenous prisoners, and the majority of the Chinese are young and middle-aged men, so there is no shortage of labor. At this time, two lines of defense were established on the periphery of the farm, both of which are mainly fortifications based on trenches, which are as dense as spider webs, and there are also a large number of castles distributed, which can be regarded as impregnable.

In terms of personnel, in addition to the People's Army, the farm guards have been expanded to more than 800 people, and all of them have been issued guns and weapons. Moreover, after the large army arrives, the People's Army will take a part of the farm guards in every operation, allowing them to experience the battlefield in person, and at least see blood. Therefore, the farm guards basically have a chance to fight and can serve as an auxiliary force of the People's Army.
