Dragon Sea Empire

It was not until noon on the second day of the night of the Japanese pirates' sneak attack that Lin Xiao finally "dealt with" the Japanese on the South Bank.

From night to noon, together with the rebellious natives of the Tagalyan Society, corpses littered the area around Anping Port and Dagou Port, and the sky was filled with fireworks. The Siraya Pingpu allies of the Chinese company kept coming from all over the country to participate in the battle of beating the dogs in the water. After the Japanese town was burned and killed, the Tagalyan Society was surrounded by the guards of the Chinese company and the indigenous allies. Just looking at it will be wiped out.

Lin Xiao left the main defenders of the South Fort to continue searching and killing, and took 50 people to the north bank.

There are currently [-] permanent residents in Taiwan's Hong Kong City, and [-] to [-] floating population. This catastrophe is like ten typhoons landing at the same time, and the entire city is in chaos.

Until noon, there were still a group of more than 100 Japanese pirates trapped in the Mazu Temple near the port, resisting with firearms, bows, arrows, knives and spears.

In addition, there was another wave of ronin who broke through to the west coast in the chaos of the night, and retreated northeastward under the bombardment of the West Fort.

When Lin Xiao landed at the chaotic wharf, dozens of warships were transferred from the port to patrol the water surface of the port. The North Fort was firing at the Mazu Temple. The vehicle is heading towards Mazu Temple through the dock area.

Lin Xiao found that the artillerymen were still sweating profusely after taking off their clothes in March in Taiwan. It could be seen that they were troops rushing in. Suddenly, a man jumped out of the artillery team, with short stature and a big head on his strong shoulders. Li Xing, the head of the third regiment, called Lin Xiao in surprise: "Brother Guangguang, I heard that you have leveled the Nihoncho, and you did a good job."

Li Xing was a member of the original pirate gang, and Lin Xiao was an old acquaintance. Lin Xiao couldn't help asking curiously: "What's the matter with you, how did you become an artillery soldier?"

Li Xing's face darkened, and he sighed: "The captain asked me to clean up all the Japanese pirates in Taiwan City before it gets dark today, otherwise I will have to work in the Zhuang Ding team. The captain is getting angry, go and persuade him!" Persuade him," he shook his head, turned around to leave, Lin Xiao grabbed him and asked anxiously, "Speak clearly, what happened?"

"It's the eldest lady..."

Lin Xiao was shocked and let go of his hand.

"The eldest lady was injured last night, and now she is premature..."

Lin Xiao gasped in fright, left Li Xing behind and ran all the way back to the company headquarters without saying anything.

During the war at night, the ronin broke into any house and robbed them recklessly, and then murdered and set fire to them, implementing a typical "three light policy". Fortunately, under Yin Feng's insistence, the urban areas north of Taiwan Harbor were all built according to a unified plan From here, there are strict checkerboard-shaped streets and matching drainage systems. All the houses are of a uniform brick, tile, and wooden beam structure, and they all have firewalls with tall houses and large purlins. Therefore, the fire did not spread, and usually the house where the fire started was burned down.

The burned-out buildings in the urban area are scattered here and there, one in the east and the other in the west; all kinds of gold and silver are scattered all over the street. Usually, the bodies of the robbers are near these properties, and there are still many corpses that have not been cleaned up. , Just piled up on the side of the road like that, Lin Xiao led the people through the pile of belongings and corpses, the big guys became more and more annoyed as they watched.

The neighborhood near the company headquarters was the most severely damaged. Ever since the Japanese pirates used gunpowder barrels to blow up the gate of the inspection department’s walled city, the explosions in this area have never stopped. In the final battle at dawn, Yin Feng ordered to use bombardment cannons The flowering bombs and solid iron bullets of field artillery directly bombarded the city wall and surrounding residential houses. As a result, hundreds of Japanese pirates and ronin and broken bricks and tiles turned into rubbish. They are still buried together and have not been cleaned up. A large area was not only bombarded, but also set on fire by Japanese pirates. Now it has almost been razed to the ground and turned into a pile of rubble.

The escort infantry, which is based on the Shi unit, is searching and patrolling the ruins, and occasionally makes up for the half-dead Japanese pirates.

The city gate of the inspectorate, where the battle was most intense, naturally turned into ruins. When Lin Xiao passed through the ruins, some infantry brothers recognized Lin Xiao, saluted him, and then stepped forward and whispered: "Seventh brother, hurry up!" Go and see the captain, I heard that the eldest lady is dying..."

The person who spoke was a distant cousin of Lin Xiao, who had just come to Taiwan from Yazhou to join him. Lin Xiao stared at his brother sternly, and said sharply, "Don't talk nonsense, carry out your own mission,"

When he brought people to the gate of the company headquarters that had disappeared, Zeng Qi, Zeng Ke, Han Ping, Han Jing, Lu Shitou and others were hurriedly walking from the front yard of the company headquarters.

"Master Zeng..." Lin Xiao didn't dare to be negligent, and bowed his hand to Zeng Qi. With Han Jing's support, Zeng Qi took a step forward, looking forward with a pale face and empty eyes, and sighed: "Shining, go Please persuade Feng'er, I will go to the doctor, hey..."

Lin Xiao's heart sank, and she nodded quickly.

That night, when Japanese pirates broke into the inspection department's stronghold, there were three women in Yin Feng's family. Qian was teaching people how to write, and her student was Xi Lan, the Pingpu wife of Chen Zhongji, who was also pregnant with Liujia. The sound of the explosion frightened the two of them. What to do, Li Lihua from the west courtyard finally experienced the Manila massacre. She personally experienced the Spanish artillery bombardment in the Balian market area. In the room, the two pregnant women were asked to quickly go to the study in the backyard, preparing to hide in the company headquarters through a secret passage, but some Japanese pirates obviously came to target Yin Feng's house on purpose. When the three women just came to the yard, more than ten A ronin wielding a Japanese sword had already climbed over the wall and entered.

The guards of Yin Feng's family resisted desperately, but what happened suddenly, they pulled out their flintlock pistols and fired only one shot, and they were all cut down by the Japanese pirates.

Thanks to Magaro's black guards who arrived in time, they blocked the Japanese pirates at the gate of the inner house. The Japanese pirates were blocked for a while, but the women couldn't go out of the courtyard to the study, and they couldn't escape through the secret passage. As a result, after the Japanese pirates started setting fire, Zeng Qian fainted in the smoke , the collapsed roof beam hit her shoulder...

When Magaro rescued her from the sea of ​​flames, Zeng Qian started to convulse, and blood flowed from her lower body...

"Boom, boom, boom," bursts of gunfire came from the direction of the Mazu Temple at the port. It seemed that Li Xing's artillery team had begun to bombard the Mazu Temple, and the destruction of the Japanese pirates there was imminent.

There is Yin Feng's office and study in the backyard of the headquarters of the Zhonghua Company. Just as Lin Xiao stepped into the backyard, he heard Yin Feng shouting: "What's going on? Why hasn't it been wiped out yet? What's the matter with you? Flee to Huwei Longshe When will the Japanese pirates be wiped out?"

Lin Xiao saw Mai Dahai, the chief of the navy, Mai De, the commander of the second regiment, Li Kuiqi, the commander of the artillery battalion directly under Yin Feng, and others all bowed their heads in front of Yin Feng. A security officer handed Lin Xiao a statistical report. Xiao saw that it was the preliminary statistical report on the losses caused by the war: material losses in the dock area were incalculable, but fortunately merchant ships from various countries were unharmed; the area of ​​the warehouse was not much burned, and the loss of property was about 10 taels; Statistics; personnel losses including foreigners, preliminary statistics show that more than 1200 people were killed and more than 2000 people were injured; most of them were merchant sailors, fishermen, craftsmen, coolies, traders, etc., and more than ten foreign businessmen were also killed .

Yin Feng hurriedly walked back and forth in the yard, with his hands behind his back and his face darkened, his clothes were still stained with blood. He had never been so irritable and angry.

He was asking Lin Yue again: "Why hasn't Dr. Zhang Zheng from Quanzhou come yet?"

With the smoke from last night still on Lin Yue's face, he raised his head and said falteringly, "Father and son of the Han family have already invited him... But, he is not a doctor of gynecology..."

"What about Wen Po, damn Lu Wen Po, I gave her so much money..."

Lin Yue said dully: "That Lu Wenpo was burned to death by the Japanese pirates last night, and Wen Po from Ximen Zhang's family was injured when she fled, and she couldn't deliver the baby..."

Yin Feng suddenly jumped into a rage: "Fart, Taiwan and Hong Kong are so big, is it just these two midwives, go find me quickly,"

Lin Yue sighed, raised his left hand across his chest, gave a military salute, turned around and left, Lin Xiao waved to him, telling him to leave quickly, he couldn't help but sighed, Taiwan City has more men than women, and the birth There are even fewer women with children, and the job of midwife is not very profitable. Lu Wenpo was invited to Taiwan by the Zeng family from Quanzhou City with a high salary a few years ago. It was specially prepared for Zeng Qian. She lives next door to Yin Feng's house. Late died in the fire lit by Japanese pirates.

There was a scream in the study. Yin Feng rushed to the door, but lost the courage to go in. He swayed and had to raise his hand to hold the door frame. The door curtain was lifted, and Li Lihua's face blackened by the smoke appeared. Although he couldn't see his face, But his eyes were extremely flustered.

"Brother Feng, madam, madam wants you to go in..." Li Lihua said in a trembling voice.

……

When night fell, the Mazu Temple was flattened by cannons, and more than 100 Japanese pirates were all killed. When Li Xing rushed into the ruins with his men, he accidentally found a Westerner among a group of Japanese pirates. Alive, this person is the monk Dasmarinas, he became the only surviving person in the Mazu Temple.

In the northeast direction of Yaogang, the cavalry battalion caught up with the group of Japanese pirates who escaped in the morning. They had already broken through the blocking of the indigenous people of Huwei Longshe, and attempted to flee northward to the land of Dadufan Kingdom. Mai De's second regiment was returning. Aiding Taiwan and Hong Kong, I happened to meet this group of Japanese pirates head-on, and cooperated with the cavalry to block their way; They committed suicide by cutting open their stomachs, some abandoned everything and fled in all directions, while others threw all their eggs in one basket and rushed towards their pursuers...

After a night of chasing and intercepting, on the morning of the third day, the last Japanese pirate who participated in the sneak attack on Taiwan and Hong Kong was trampled into meat paste by the tall horses of the Chinese cavalry.

The accident here is that the cavalry captured a Chinese guide who was leading the way for the Japanese pirates. This Zhejiang leather goods dealer specializes in doing business with Japanese businessmen and has a good relationship with Kawayama Yuki. He was helping the Japanese pirates, and he was the one who led the way to Yin Feng's house.

After interrogating him, the inside story behind the attack gradually surfaced. Naotomo Yamaguchi, the shackles official, was killed when Yin Feng bombarded the inspection city with flowering shells. Among the Japanese pirates fleeing from the country, he was stabbed to death by the company guards with a bayonet in a field of reeds at night.

More than 1000 Japanese pirates who participated in the sneak attack were all killed within three days, and more than 500 Japanese immigrants with Nihonmachi were also massacred. By the evening of the third day after the sneak attack on Taiwan Hong Kong, there was no Japanese on the entire island of Taiwan. people are alive,
