BLOODLETTING
Insurgencies

How sad the feeling of the prince hidayat, not sad because the power is held by Tamjid, but what he is worried about is because behind Sultan Tamjid stands foreigners. Pangerah Hidayat thought that Sultan Tamjid actually did not have any power, he was only made as a puppet. His power is controlled by foreigners. And indeed the thought of Prince Hidayat did not miss at all.

"You are still lucky, we did not destroy" said Sultan Tamjid. "I believe, with Mangkubumi's current position, you can work together. I still respect you as my brother, Hidayat," Sultan Tamjid added haughtily.

"For me the department is not important. I feel insulted by that position" replied Prince Hidayat. "The strangers shut their mouths and shut their eyes Tamjid, they have imprisoned me in this way. The one who raised me to be Mangkubumi is not yourself, but you are dictated by them. Tamjid, why aren't you aware of that yet?". Prince Hidayat's tongue was felt like a hoax after that, he was unable to speak again after uttering an appeal to Sultan Tamjid.

"No Hidayat!, that is my wisdom. Why are you accusing me of not being?".

After the words that Prince Hidayat wanted to say he was no longer able to speak, but he again thought he should let his only brother get lost and step in the wrong direction.

"Tamjid, you don't feel it all, because you've been slowly spotted by the stranger. Rather than me being their puppet, I would rather be stopped from this sickening post. Get me out of here!. Just be me!, kill me if that is your verdict later," said prince Hidayat with a more courageous word.

Sultan Tamjid and foreign parties have indeed argued to kill Prince Hidayat. But after thinking about cooking, if Prince Hidayat is killed, of course the people will rebel even more. Because the people still expect Prince Hidayat to become Sultan. While the appointment of Tamjid as sultan did not bring support from the people. He gained full support from foreigners, as evidenced by several revolts that were taking place, they demanded Sultan Tamjid to abdicate and return the imperial throne handed back to Prince Hidayat.

"What about the planned appointment I became a kiai in Batang Balangan, Tabalong kiwa and Tabalong Kanan, Tamjid?" ask Prince Hidayat.

Suntan Tamjid smiled bitterly. "I'll pull that rapture. I thought if I let you go there would be like letting the fish back into the water, like an eel back into the mud. Are you not hurt? You'll regroup the power. Then revenge, destroy this kingdom. That's what you really mean, isn't it Hidayat?".

"Too sharp and too far off that thought, Tamjid. I don't need a kingdom" said Prince Hidayat. But it was soon cut by Tamjid

"But I'm not a child anymore, Hidayat. I can also use my brain" said Sultan Tamjid.

"I believe you're not a child, but why don't you realize that the stranger's side has threatened you.." said Prince Hidayat again. But for the second time Sultan Tamjid cut off the talk of Prince Hidayat.

"Already, Hidayat. You don't have to talk like that. If you are determined to become a kiai, I will grant that later, if you can put down the rebellions that are in the Five Continents, Nagara, Alabiu, West River, Amuntai and Kalua. What sayyou?".

Prince Hidayat pensively for a moment. Is it possible in this case he can turn things around and attack the foreign party to take advantage of the situation.

"How many hundred are you going to send me soldiers?", smiling. Tamjid says. "One, you yourself. If you can't put it out, I'm not afraid I'll kill you".

Sultan Tamjid's submission to Prince Hidayat was profitable, if he could win the situation there. He would let his brother live. But if rebelled again, Suntan Tamjid thinks because he has foreign soldiers to crush Prince Hidayat. But for Prince Hidayat, this situation he will use to escape.

Prince Hidayat left, of course he was not alone. He went with an army of foreigners. He was put in front, not as a war leader, but as bait.

How sad the heart of Prince Hidayat when he saw that on the other side most are his own people.

When the war was going to be more intense, Prince Hidayat immediately broke away from the forces of Sultan Tamjid and soon joined the forces of the people led by Aling. Other troops also stood with an army of approximately 300 people led by Antasari.

The rebellion never died out. It is even growing where. Because of the urgency eventually the foreign party again asked for help to Batavia.

At that time the joint army attack was aimed at the Prince who was then defended by a lieutenant. The next day all the Europeans on the Mount Jabuk plantation, about two kilometers from Pangaron, were killed by the rebels. In addition, the same fate befell the Europeans who were in the Durian River coal mine.

A foreign warship, named Arjuno, came with reinforcements headed by A. J. Andersen. When he reached the port, Andersen immediately sent a letter to Prince Hidayat.

We're friendly. We expect the Prince's willingness to make peace with our side. Because we are convinced that this rebellion is actually on the orders of Prince Tamjid himself.

That is how the letter wrote.

But what the prince said to his followers.

"That is their rotten stratagem, do not heed the peaceful cry I have upon them. It's just a signal that they're going to complain about our fight. Possibly the position of Sultan Tamjid in a shaky state. Eventually they will annex the kingdom".

The letter was ignored at all. The war continues. Then the foreigners sent back a fleet of 144 soldiers complete with weapons. They were taken up by the Cipanas. But the arrival of these reinforcements quickly got an attack from the people. The ship finally returned to the original. Another victory was finally won back by the rebels. The outpost at Tambanio was destroyed and the postmaster, Mauritz, was killed.

Hearing the terrible news that Sultan Tamjid became anxious, his heart was not at all serene. His mind is chaotic, sometimes there is an intention to surrender to Prince Hidayat.

'But Hidayat is unlikely to accept'. He said in his heart.

"Sultan sir, you have nothing to worry about", Andersen said to Sultan Tamjid. "Lord remains Sultan, to govern the government, let us run".

Of course the word is quite surprising the heart and feelings of Sultan Tamjid. He did not think, as if the stranger knew his heart. If he does not want of course he himself will be threatened, if he accepts the verdict of course he also falls into a trap as well.

Now he is in the clutches of their nails. But he felt the thought of improving himself was too late. He was forced to accept their verdict.

Desire to repent now appears in the small heart of Sultan Tamjid, regret that is not counted being felt, all the speech of Prince Hidayat again ringing in his head.

'Hidayat forgive me my brother', said the little heart of Sultan Tamjid regret is increasingly felt filled his heart, but he who wants to rebel was free because he was in danger.

Seriate...
