Meanwhile, the Dutch "entrust" the area under the authority of the king of Bangli Buleleng I Dewa Tangkeban. Dutch Wisdom I Gusti Made Rai makes very offended, no need to entrust to anyone Buleleng region. Indeed the relationship between the kingdom of Bangli Buleleng with previously did not run in harmony as never quarreled.

The Dutch government power
Year 1853. After a while the Dutch side feels threatened and is considered dangerous
Dutch government caused the king, I Gusti Made Rai had seen quite ambitious. I Gusti Made Rai often seek influence among the people and not fully carry out the rules established by the Dutch colonial government. The Dutch government then took off, I Gusti Made Rai from his position as king of Buleleng, and punished with exile to Banyuwangi. Furthermore, the Dutch government is looking for a local ruler or regent for Buleleng. While the demand for emerging communities each with a candidate who is considered the king of the underdog still has a lineage of kings of Buleleng.
1954. I Gusti Putu Kari retainer Kubutambahan led forces Buleleng to Tampaksiring at the request of King Bangli I Dewa Tangkeban to join the war against Herzliya. Buleleng that time under the rule of Bangli. Half-heartedly they went into battle. With the Herzliya which was never intended to be enemies with Buleleng they only pretend to fight.
Buleleng People seem increasingly unhappy with the power of the king of Bangli I Dewa Tangkeban. Relations between the two kingdoms since the first was not able to join hands. Then in the year 1854 the area was restored by King Bangli Buleleng I Dewa Tangkeban to the Dutch government.
To avoid local leadership vacuum the Dutch colonial government tried hard through the general popular opinion back looking for candidates for the ruler of Buleleng. This is where the actual beginning of the political upheavals that struck the Buleleng district, just a simple basic fact. People who still think tardisional want a leader of the descendants of the king of Buleleng. But apparently still difficult to conclude that where and who is worthy of them to occupy the highest leadership in Buleleng. Because of their citizens have keterpautan with periods of past governments, both at the time of power Mengwi origin or time of the reign of Karangasem.
The Dutch government is very careful in listening to a fairly complicated political problems. On the one hand there who want to get a job in the new government but doubted by the Dutch because linkage relationships with I Gusti Ketut Jlantik Patih Buleleng War against the Dutch in Jagaraga. From this the start of their rejection of the existence of the elements associated with I Gusti Ketut Patih Jlantik, especially those who have political interests. They were rushed to deny the existence of blood affinity with I Gusti Ketut Patih Jlantik. They even threw the accusation that I Gusti Ketut Jlantik full conceit that human ambition.
At a time of stagnation in the government ever happened to the Dutch, because precisely March 31, 1855 Mads J. Lange, who has been the Dutch colonial government representative office in Kuta, is replaced by P. L. van Bloetnenwaanders - and is based in Singaraja. Apparently the Dutch high officials who are still less so to understand this new cultural customs of the Balinese. This makes the current government is very tough, because he had to ask for explanations until the small things in order until he was able to understand and make decisions. That's why sometimes important matters could take a long time.
It opens up opportunities for those who do not like the Dutch government system and make square off for action.

I Nyoman Gempol Rebellion
The Dutch government is often deemed incompatible with the desire to make society Buleleng natives do not believe in the Dutch government. This rebellion Perbekel Banjar bepuncak on Java, which I Nyoman Gempol.
