CHAPTER 26, JOIN THE FORCES OF PRINCE MANGKUBUMI

The two young men met at a brothel and forcibly freed and set fire to brothels there.

The women who had been released were then asked to leave after being given enough gold coins to provide for their next life.

Then the two of them went to gambling houses, robbed money belonging to the entire gambling house, then set the gambling house on fire, after giving money to former workers who no longer have a job after the gambling house was burned down.

“Well, go..This is just taking money for your capital in the future. Next leave this place and do not go back to doing this similar work.”pap the two young men to them.

Most of them were very grateful with the efforts and courage of the two young men to free them and give them enough gold pieces for capital to restart life, he said, although there are also those who secretly curse in the heart because they feel lost work, but certainly not shown, the, because they know that these two young men are rival warriors who have ravaged the entire power of Sekarjati village.

Then they both continued their journey by using a carriage pulled by four horses towards Banaran village in Sukowati, which is the defense area of the combined forces of Prince Samber Nyowo and Prince Mangkubumi by carrying a number of spoils.

They both disguised themselves as messengers from the palace by wearing clothes like courtiers on their way to avoid suspicion and pursuit of the parties who are their opponents, especially the VOC who has been known to be the protector of the village head Sekarjati in carrying out his actions.

On the way, Joyodipuro tells about the root of the problem and their purpose in fighting against the corn-haired nation.

“Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Samber Nyowo is a royal court nobleman, the son of anom prince who was banished to the land of Ceylon because it strongly rejected the interference of foreign nations in the palace government of Kartasura.”ternya.

“Since childhood Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Samber Nyowo lived in trouble, not like the palace priyayi, although in fact is the heir to the throne of the palace if the romance is not exiled to Ceylon."

"But living in difficulty is what has forged him into a figure that is intelligent, tough, and has a fighting spirit and extraordinary solidarity.”.

"Furthermore when he was a dozen years old, he participated in a rebellion in support of one of the princes in an effort to occupy the palace that succeeded in making Sinuwun forced to flee from Kartasura to Surakarta, and finally asked for help from the VOC.”.

“Verily what was the basis of their resistance both kakang?”ask Danang to Joyodipuro.

“This is interesting, let me continue my story, later you will pull the red thread dimas.”ucap Joyodipuro.

“It was because it was overwhelmed with the lunge of Prince Samber Nyowo, Sinuwun organized a contest to beat and take back the Sukowati area occupied by Prince Samber Nyowo with a land reward of three thousand cacah. But no one dared to appear to follow the competition because of horror with the might of Prince Samber Nyowo."

“Until finally a tough figure from the palace, namely Raden Mas Sudjana, who holds the title Prince Mangkubumi, supported the competition and advanced to face Prince Samber Nyowo.”terangnya.

“Prince Mangkubumi is Sinuwun's younger brother from garwa idil who was known to be devoutly worshiped and very capable in statecraft, army, and canuragan sports.”.

“Short story, Prince Mangkubumi managed to defeat Prince Samber Nyowo and take back the Sukowati area to be handed back to the palace. But after that at the persuasion and insistence of Patih Pringgoloyo supported by the VOC, Sinuwun canceled the prize competition and replaced it with a sum of money.”ujar Joyodipuro.

“Seeing his efforts were deadlocked, plus the humiliation he received at that time, Prince Mangkubumi refused the prize money for the land substitute, and chose to come out of the palace and then fight.”more.

“Heard of that, Prince Samber Nyowo then came to him and joined his troops to make an open resistance throughout the land of Java.”ujarnya.

“Verily I feel amazed by the two figures kakang." Danang said.

"I agree with the two of them, that the arrival of foreign nations who initially said they intended to trade turned out to have wreaked destruction in the land of Java due to their greed, he said, plus the many traitors of the country who for the sake of property and power became their accomplices.”continue Danang after listening to the story of Joyodipuro.

“It is the soul mate and destiny of the Almighty that we are met in the village of Sekarjati dimas. I'm glad if you decide to join us, I hope you're not part of those traitors in dimas, because it's gonna be hard to fight against you,”ucap Joyodipuro while laughing and then speed up the horse carriage he was driving to get faster towards Banaran village.

A week later, after dawn broke they both entered Sukowati and continued to move towards Banaran village.

Upon arrival in Banaran village, Danang saw thousands of troops who seemed to have high spirits dwell there.

They noticed his arrival with a full-fledged look in his eyes, although he came along with Joyodipuro who was a follower of Prince Samber Nyowo.

Somewhat uncomfortable Danang treated like that, but he did not heed their full gaze. Until finally Joyodipuro said, “Let's follow me dimas, we both face and report the situation in Sekarjati village to Prince Samber Nyowo and Prince Mangkubumi.”he said.

They both walked towards one of the houses in the village. Two people who felt like they had a very vibrating carrier came out of the house and said,”Joyodipuro, what about your reconnaissance in Sekarjati village? Who is this young man you brought with you?”ask one of the figures while smiling even with eyes that highlight sharply towards them.

Arriving at the service, Joyodipuro replied, “Sendiko Gusti Prince, this young man happened to meet with the servant in one battle with the village side Sekarjati.”ucapnya.

Joyodipuro continued by recounting his reconnaissance in Sekarjati village from the beginning until he finally accidentally discovered the battle that occurred between the young man beside him and the Sekarjati village troops, until finally they both work together to defeat the troops and village head Sekarjati and destroy gambling houses and prostitutes in the village.

“So apparently? Who are you kisanak? Is it true about what this confidant of mine has told me?”tanya the figure who turned out was Prince Samber Nyowo.

“Singgih Gusti Prince, a servant named Danang Hadikusumo. The servant met accidentally with Joyodipuro's brother in a plantation area owned by residents in Sekarjati village, but what Joyodipuro's brother had said was not entirely true. Servant was only lucky and was helped by brother Joyodipuro until finally saved from the battle.” replied Danang lowly.

With a sharp eye, as if piercing the soul wants to know to what depth the ability of the young man before him, Raden Mas Said said, “Know kisanak, please, my heart simultaneously feels the pleasure of being mixed with curiosity as well as joining you in our army." he said.

"I'm happy because we get the additional power of a swordsman choose a match that will obviously benefit us later. But please forgive me if I really also at the same time feel curious about your power is kisanak.”ujar Prince Samber Nyowo while smiling kindly but sharp without shady aling-aling..

Joyodipuro's heart seemed to have stopped hearing the words coming out of his mouth...
