"put!"
Accompanied by a roar from the main turret, the moment the gunner pulled the breech of the gun and pulled the match rope,
Amidst the deafening sound of gunfire, the "Tianlong" lying on the sea suddenly moved. At the moment when the twin 254mm naval guns fired a salvo, the 2,800-ton displacement warship moved several feet. The muzzle of the gun
The blast swept across the deck and even lifted the canvas covering the lifeboat. The ropes of the sails also snapped. The blast from the gun muzzle also stirred up huge ripples on the sea surface.
Red flames and rising smoke completely enveloped the deck.
The fleet opened fire!
The "Tianlong" is facing the Sudan Palace, while the "Blue Dragon" is facing the fort.
Shelling!
The shocking sound of cannons stunned everyone at this moment. The crew of the British merchant ship transporting large amounts of tin in the port were stunned. They had never expected to witness such a scene.
"boom!"
Ten seconds later, the artillery shell hit the Sultan Palace accurately. The explosion of the artillery shell weighing hundreds of kilograms was like the earth shaking, and even the Haishan Hall hundreds of meters away was shaken.
And Zhao Yongfu was also shocked to the point where his head was buzzing. He calmly felt the earth-shattering sound of the cannon. He knew that with this sound of cannon, everything changed!
"Really, really fired the cannon, fired the cannon!"
Ye Yalai stared at everything in front of him with his eyes wide open. He opened his mouth and didn't even know what to say. He just stared at the direction where the gunfire came from with dumbfounded eyes.
At this moment, he had completely forgotten all the calculations and plans in his mind. Just a moment ago, he was thinking that if he fired the cannon, he would never be angry with the natives again here in the future.
. He was even thinking about whether he could seek some benefits for himself through his suddenly improved status. Just like those Westerners, why are those Westerners so arrogant here, why are they so domineering here, and why don't they buy into the natives?
Account?
Isn’t it just because they have the support of the state and their warships can fire cannons!
But now when the sound of cannon fire came, I don't know why, but there was only one voice ringing in my ears.
"This is the sound of our cannon! This is the sound of our cannon!"
When did we arrive in Nanyang?
too early!
Even people like Ye Yalai have long considered themselves a member of Nanyang, and they have long been integrated into this land. Even in the eyes of many people, there is no difference between them and the natives here.
But, have they really integrated into this land?
They have never integrated into this land, and no one regards them as the owner of this land.
Not only were they exploited, they were also massacred.
In the 17th century, the Spaniards killed overseas Chinese in Manila.
In the 18th century, the Dutch also killed them.
Hundreds of thousands of overseas Chinese were brutally murdered. This was the reward for the hard work of the overseas Chinese. What did they get in exchange for their hard work and frugality?
It is the pink eye disease of outsiders. They are jealous of the wealth accumulated by overseas Chinese through frugality, and they are full of hostility towards the wealth owned by overseas Chinese. Westerners use overseas Chinese to create wealth and incite the indigenous people to hate overseas Chinese, thereby alleviating the hostility of the indigenous people towards the colonized rule.
.
Why can they oppress the overseas Chinese in this way? Why do the overseas Chinese suffer everything?
It’s because they are rootless! No one will support them!
Even the indigenous people bullied them. Just a few decades ago, right here, those people broke into the mines, killed Chinese workers, and stole property. Why did everyone dare to kill them at will?
Because they know that the Chinese overseas are a group of "abandoned people of the Celestial Empire" who can be killed and taken at will.
"The imperial dynasty abandons its people and does not hesitate to carry away the tombs of its ancestors and go abroad to make profits. The imperial court will not even ask!"
Why did the Chinese form cliques? It was to protect themselves! Facing the butcher's knife of outsiders, the Chinese who formed cliques spoke with their swords. They fought back to the mines and took back their own property. From then on,
The party is their way of protecting themselves.
All members are brothers!
The purpose is to avoid being bullied by outsiders in a foreign country. The reason why outsiders bully them is because they have nothing to rely on except themselves!
The cannon went off today!
The gunfire sounded!
At this moment, Ye Yalai suddenly burst into tears. He threw away the gun and started crying. The others, whether they were strong men in their thirties or gray-haired old people, all started crying.
To them in a foreign country, they may seem glamorous and may seem to be friends with the locals and nobles, but only they themselves know the sins and grievances they have suffered.
When the knocked-out teeth are swallowed into the stomach, what are they swallowing? It is grievance, heartbreak, and more importantly, helplessness, because they have no other choice but to endure!
"Are you listening? This is our cannon, this is our cannon..."
The cry suddenly became loud. For these overseas wanderers, today, they finally found a home! They found a home that was willing to be the masters of their own country. They were no longer lonely ghosts!
"Grandpa, are you listening? This is our own cannon, our own cannon..."
An old man with gray braids cried and closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. It seemed that at this moment, all the grievances no longer existed.
The natives outside the door, including Tunku Kudin Sultan, were frightened by the sound of cannons and explosions. They looked towards the port with some confusion, and the explosions over there were drowned out by the explosions.
Even from here they could see the smoke from beyond the fort.
"What, what's going on?"
Before Tunku Kudin could regain his senses, there was a soft rumble in the air, like a train whistle.
The native soldiers even looked up when they heard the noise. They had no idea what the sound was.
At this moment, several loud noises were heard in the distant settlement of the natives. In the violent explosion, it was like several volcanoes erupting at the same time!
When two 254 mm caliber heavy explosive bombs landed on the native's bamboo house, the shells passed directly through the roof, and then exploded, directly lifting all the surrounding bamboo house buildings into the sky!
Soaring straight into the sky!
In the clouds of flames, steel fragments howled and flew in all directions, and the buildings in the center of the blast and the indigenous people inside were directly blown into clouds of blood mist in the explosion, and the shrapnel flying everywhere was unknown.
How many native people were plundered to the ground.
The moment the cannonball fell, everything around him was covered in blood and flesh.
The violent explosion made the world tremble, and the high temperature and smoke of the explosion even made the air burn. The burning air shook the earth, and people's hearts were also shaken. The indigenous soldiers who were originally surrounding Haishan Hall were shocked by the sound of cannons.
Stunned, they stood there frozen.
Everyone's ears were buzzing from the shock, and they looked around blankly, looking at Sudan.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the fleet of Ming Dynasty has launched, the cannons have been fired..."
The first person to react was Haagen-Dazs, who felt as if he was melting from the burning air!
"He, how dare they fire, they, they don't know,"
Don’t you know that the British support him? I don’t know, are the British his backers?
...How dare they fire?
Don't they have a saying - when you beat a dog, you also have to look at the owner?
How could they ignore the British and dare to fire here?
When Tunku Kudin was astonished and didn't know what was going on, and even looked at him with an expression full of doubts, in the Haishan Hall, Ye Yaya laughed loudly:
"Blow it up! Blast it up! Blow it all up! As long as these sons of bitches don't exist, even if it's all blown up, we can still build a new one in less than a year!"
As if in response to his wish, another row of artillery shells roared over. Their artillery fire accurately landed in the area where the indigenous people lived. In fact, it was easy to tell-the expats all
They live together along the port, and the indigenous people live with the Sultan Palace as the center. The clearly separated living areas also prevent the navy's bombardment from accidentally hitting the compatriots.
In the violent explosion, there was a mess of blood and flesh everywhere. I don't know how many natives were directly blown into balls of blood mist. Under the fierce gunfire, it was only then that they knew what awe was!
All of a sudden, the natives who had originally gathered outside Haishan Hall became confused. Faced with such an opportunity, Chen Ke naturally would not miss it, so he shouted.
"Sailors, bayonets on!"
The sailors immediately shouted "kill" and then rushed out of Haishan Hall with bayonets in hand. The bayonets sank directly into the chests of the natives. Those natives who could not escape were simply no match for them. Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, the sharp
His bayonets kept knocking those people to the ground, dozens of them against hundreds of them, and they were actually killed until they were crying and running around.
However, with just a face-to-face meeting, they were able to beat the natives head-on. These native soldiers had been frightened by the bombardment and lost their normal ability to judge. When the sailors charged, they faced these tiger-like wolves.
The sailors actually dropped their rifles, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy in blunt Cantonese.
Tunku Kudin, who was still riding on the horse, fell off the horse at some point. Looking at the sailors rushing towards him, he was very naked. He threw away the Kris knife from his waist and knelt on the ground.
Shouting.
"I surrender, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
The natives have descended!
The bombardment lasted only a few minutes before the natives surrendered.
Facing the natives who were kneeling on the ground, Zhao Fuyong felt calm inside at this moment. He looked at Ye Yalai and others. Their eyes were full of awe when they looked at him and the sailors.
"Ye Yalai!"
"The grassroots are here!"
Ye Yalai hurriedly ran forward and clasped his fists with his hands.
"What are your orders, sir?"
"What does it feel like now!"
Zhao Fuyong looked at him with a smile.
“Comfortable!”
Ye Yalai replied loudly that he had never felt so comfortable in his life. This kind of comfort was more of a release of the dissatisfaction and grievances that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.
After being released, the whole person felt relaxed. The grievances deep in my heart disappeared without a trace at this moment with the rumbling sound of gunfire and explosions.
"Have fun!"
The special envoy's words made Ye Yalai reply a little excitedly.
"It's so enjoyable! I've never been so comfortable and enjoyable in my life!"
"Haha, you can live a peaceful life from now on!"
Zhao Fuyong laughed loudly.
"From now on, Ming's fleet and naval guns will be your backing. From now on, whoever dares to bully you must first ask about our naval guns!"
"grown ups!"
Ye Yalai knelt down quickly, and everyone else knelt down one after another. He said solemnly.
"For so many years, we have been looking forward to it and dreaming about it at night. What we have been dreaming about is that one day someone will support us like Westerners. We have no other intentions, and we have never thought about bullying other people. We just don't want others to ride on us.
Shit on our necks!"
When they say this, I am afraid that only they themselves know the pain in their hearts. After all, for people in a foreign country, they will inevitably be oppressed in various ways. Is it easy to survive in a foreign country?
"It's more than just being shitted on someone else's head! We were bullied and stuffed our heads into the pot hole and we couldn't even find the pot hole..."
"In their eyes, what are we? We are just fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite of it. They not only want to eat our flesh, but also drink our blood, dig out our hearts, and squeeze our oil.
From top to bottom, there is nothing good!”
"After all these years, who has ever thought of us as human beings?"
"Human? What is a human? I don't even know if I am a human or not!"
"That is, if a person can be bullied, why should he be accompanied by a smiling face? Are we that mean?"
For a time, the surroundings were full of cries. Amidst the sound of cannons, they seemed to have found a home, just like children who had been tortured outside. When they saw their mother, they would always cry and complain about the hardships they had suffered.
Only mothers care about everything they suffer.
At this moment they knew they were home, they knew this family would protect them from wind and rain, and when they were wronged, this family would stand up and protect them.
Gunshot!
The deafening sound of cannons woke up the entire city, which caused compatriots who had been hiding at home under pressure to come out amid the sound of cannons.
The sound of the cannon made all of them startled at first, and then they understood that it was their cannon. Suddenly everyone cheered one after another!
"It's our cannon! It's our cannon! Yes, it's our cannon!"
In each Chinese shop at the port, they carefully took off a panel door and stuck their head out. People looked around, and then, these people with happy faces opened the shop door regardless of everything, and walked out of the shop.
walked out.
Although these people are of different ages, have different origins, and even have different accents, and some may even be hostile to each other because of their hometown, but now, they have all come out, and they are silently paying homage to each other.
Walking towards Haishan Hall, they had been watching the small team through the crack in the door.
That's their team!
From now on, they are no longer as lonely as they used to be. From now on, no one will dare to bully them unscrupulously. But in the distance, those frightened natives just look at them blankly, their eyes
Full of awe.
Hatred?
hostility?
Maybe there will be, but at the moment when the naval guns roar, all this is no longer important.
Everyone understands one thing - no one can bully them anymore!
Once upon a time, those who were always timid and always had a flattering smile on their faces raised their heads. When they looked at the natives, they no longer had the awe of the past, only the pride from the heart!
Listen! This is our cannon!
Look! This is what will happen to you!
