from Pakualam, he is Diponegoro""
Smissaert: "How can it be like that, I have been kind enough to offer you a task as tough as this, but you
still refuse?"
Hamengkubuwono IV: "All right, if the aim is to make the people prosperous"
Smissaert's leadership made the people suffer. A son of Hamengkubuwono III, named Raden Mas
Ontowiryo or Prince Diponegoro, was dissatisfied with seeing the suffering of the people because of
Dutch cruelty and cunning, Prince Diponegoro began to oppose Dutch domination.
People: "How can we eat? Even standing up feels like it can't stand the pain, it's so cruel"
The Palace "I don't know if our finances have reached bankruptcy"

Patih Danurejo: "There are so many, but we cannot mention one by one, what is clear is that we will
continue to cooperate with the Dutch."
After the conflict occurred, Prince Diponegoro finally cut off his relationship with the palace.
Finally Prince Diponegoro put up a fight by canceling the penja puwasa in May 1985 so that the farmers
in Tegal Rejo could buy weapons and food.
Smissaert: "Just let what you care about him, this is for the smooth running of development.
After Prince Diponegoro found out, he ordered the people to pull out the stakes. Then Parih Danu Rejo
came
Patih Danurejo: "Who told you to remove these pegs? Reassemble them properly!"
Patih Danurejo sent macanan troops to guard the stakes. With their bravery Prince Diponegoro's
