The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

I heard from others that there are many benefits to coming to the Far East, especially the oriental silk, which is their favorite.

Some people say that the tea leaves from the East are also very good, but unfortunately, they don't know how to grow them.

I also like porcelain very much, and it can be sold at a high price after being shipped back to China for thousands of miles.

Although the situation in the country is not optimistic, the great nobles still want to sing and dance to make peace, and General Philcis came here not to fight, but to make a fortune. Husband's purpose is the same.

What honor, mission, are all second, gold is the first.

So when he saw someone occupying the Gold Mine Island, he opened fire, and the other party fought back unceremoniously. It could be said that there was no communication between the two sides, so they started fighting!

It took a long time to find out that they were evenly matched, but there were so many foreign ships that they collided with two frigates of the Royal Navy Fleet of the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, the people on the frigates ran fast.

Philsis is a very conceited nobleman. He thinks that the other two ships are gone, so where else do he want to go?

So he sent people to the island.

He wasn't familiar with this place, and he couldn't find anyone he knew, so he led his troops to surround Master Fourteen and the others at the gold mine.

But ignore the basic situation of the island.

The Han people gather here, but because the gold mines are also there, the Han people who have escaped from the predicament plan to follow the army to settle down in other places, and they cannot stay here.

Therefore, when they saw that they were besieged by foreigners, they would automatically follow along to defend against the enemy, and what they took were the firearms left by the robbed Westerners.

But the natives don't think so.

Chief Anuo is the chief patriarch of the local indigenous tribe. He used to live a good life, but later his life became difficult.

Now that he has regained his rights and the freedom of his people, he has also learned how to shoot a gun and use explosives.

This is learned from the people in the navy, who is also one of the people who handle the prisoners.

Strikingly, because he hates it!

These people not only killed his parents, but also his wife and children.

He was kept because he was a strong laborer who could mine and mine gold.

And the others also took good care of him, otherwise they would have been tortured to death for so many years.

After saving him, Nian Gengyao communicated with him that they can't move the gold mine away. If he needs it, the gold mine will be kept for him. For mining or something, since foreigners can catch them to mine, then He can also capture captives to mine. Foreigners are still very strong.

A Nuo expressed his interest, and even spent money to buy the utensils and firearms left by foreigners with Nian Gengyao.

Although he wanted Daqing's more, it was obvious that Nian Gengyao would not sell it to him.

"Headman Arnold, these people are the same as the foreigners who oppressed us!" There are still many natives who survived the catastrophe, and a few of them were loyal to Arnold, and now they have become the right-hand man of the leader.

"Yes, Chief Anuo, we don't want to go back to the old days." After being enslaved for so many years, who can understand the aggrieved hearts in their hearts?

The natives, who were originally free, hated those foreigners to death.

"Then fight to the death with them, and we will stop mining for gold." Arnold, a native, is the most aggrieved one. Since he personally avenged his family, he is now bloodthirsty.

Although the natives are dressed in some scantily clad clothes, they can handle firearms easily, and they are familiar with the terrain!

Touched it quickly.

Philsis besieged Fourteen and the others on the mine. He had originally made up his mind to encircle and not attack. The opponent had no food or drink, so the attack would definitely break down.

After a symbolic charge a few times, it stopped.

It was getting late, and it was time for them to prepare dinner.

The most famous dinner in Spain is paella. They are very close to the sea, and this dish is easy to prepare.

They ate, and Fourteenth Master and the others also ate.

It's a very simple meal. There is some firewood on the mountain, but in order to save money, they can't cook hot food at the beginning. They all eat the cold steamed buns they brought, just marinated and cooked sea duck eggs, and some fruit. Yes, it's a vitamin supplement.

It's cool to drink cold water, but the people around the fourteenth master brought tea, and the fourteenth master told them not to make tea: "We will make tea when we need to refresh ourselves."

Nian Gengyao let people go down: "Actually, you don't have to wrong yourself so much."

"I don't know what's going on now, I can save a little bit." The Fourteenth Master drank boiled water in his arms: "Liang Gong, why do you think the natives outside are not moving?"

Fourteenth Master had long thought of the natives outside, and those guys were not kind people.

The natives are free here, and they don't know much about the principles, but they are quite dark. He heard that when the prisoners were dealt with, the natives did not leave any survivors.

It can be seen that I hate those foreigners.

"Even if there is movement, it will take two days. There is a lot of movement on our side, maybe they are observing?" Nian Gengyao didn't have any hope for the natives, he hoped that Vice-General Mei Lechuan would come.

With the strength of their Qing Royal Navy Fleet, it is easy and enjoyable to fight these people!

It's a pity that both of them underestimated the degree of hatred of the natives towards the foreigners. It was just after nightfall, the sun had just set, and when there was still a sliver of sunset in the sky, the natives mobilized.

Hearing the shouts and gunfire outside, the Fourteenth Master and Nian Gengyao looked at each other in dismay: "Could it be that they are going to sneak attack now?"

"It doesn't look like a sneak attack." Nian Gengyao stood up: "You rest, I go out and have a look."

"Let's go together!" Fourteenth Master also stood up: "Master, let's see what virtue they have."

Nian Gengyao had no choice but to arrange for Fourteenth Master to take a look around on the mountain: "Fortunately, everyone brought binoculars."

The telescope at this time was still imported.

Fourteenth Master's telescope, the multiple is not large but very delicate.

It's okay to observe the enemy's situation or something, but it's too dark to see clearly.

Nian Gengyao had a lot of experience, and he couldn't see clearly the situation in the distance, but he saw a lot of torches and guns around the foreigners.

"The natives are calling here?" Nian Gengyao couldn't believe it.

Fourteenth Master thought for a while: "Probably because he is afraid of being caught again and becoming a miner."

The relationship between them and the natives is not that strong, which can be seen from the fact that the natives bought firearms from Nian Gengyao as soon as they got out of trouble.

The natives are grateful to them, but they are also wary of them.

Now it is different, the foreigners are back again, can they not be afraid?In case of going back to that dark life again, it's better to fight.

So the natives came to attack the foreigners.

"This is a good thing!" Nian Gengyao was happy: "Let them fight. The natives know the terrain well, and the foreigners have sharp firearms. Let's fight, as long as we don't hit us."

Isn't that right, this night, the natives frequently attacked the foreigners, which made the foreigners exhausted, and they didn't even have a good rest, and it was dawn.

Then the natives withdrew.

Foreigners almost fell into the trench because they were not familiar with the terrain.

So much so that the foreigners didn't attack Fourteen and them during the day, instead they surrounded them instead of attacking them, and then took turns to rest and catch up on sleep.

After Sisi and Nian Gengyao had seen it, they told people to guard against death. They were also recharging their energy. Although they ate little, they had water to drink, and there were caves on the mountain for shade, so it wasn't too hot.

Nian Gengyao is a restless person: "Master Fourteen, why don't we take the opportunity to rush down the mountain tonight, as long as we reach the seaside, no matter how many people they have on our boat, they will give it for nothing."

"You can give it a try, but it's best not to take too many risks." Fourteenth Master cherishes human life: "We can definitely wait for support."

He didn't believe it, Melchuan was a fool.

"Give it a try." Nian Gengyao said, "Staying here like this is wronging Master Fourteen."

There is nothing here, neither tents nor incense, and there is even very little food. The Fourteenth Master is a good-mouthed person. As a result, he has been like everyone these two days. Two steamed buns and one cake every day, now even more It is to eat dried fruit and dried meat to satisfy one's hunger.

I don't know how long it will be surrounded, and Nian Gengyao is worried after a long time.

After dinner, sure enough, the natives came to attack again, this time not only with anger, but also bows and arrows made by the natives themselves, especially the arrows were coated with poison.

The foreigners suffered heavy losses, but the natives also left a few corpses.

Nian Gengyao led his troops to break through, but was driven back.

"Are you injured?" Fourteenth Master was very worried that they were injured. At this time, they were eating less, and if they were injured, they would use less medicine each time.

"No, we are all long-distance strikes." Nian Gengyao shook his head: "It's just being bombarded with dust."

The foreigner's cannon looks like a big shot put, and when it hits it, there is a smear of black ash.

The explosive power is limited, but the dust is very large, and it looks like the ground is shaking when it is hit.

It's not as lethal as their grenades.

"It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it, go and wash it quickly." The Fourteenth Master breathed a sigh of relief: "They are very guarded against us."

In fact, they didn't know that Philsis didn't care about them. What he was nervous about was gold. Philxis didn't know that the gold had already been moved to the main battleship by the Fourteenth order, and there was only gold that hadn't been mined in the gold mine.

Even if they fight, it's useless!

It's a pity, he didn't know, all he knew was that he couldn't let people out, if he did, it would mean that the gold had also gone out.

He couldn't afford to pay for this loss, and he didn't want to pay for it.

So, it was so deadlocked, recharging energy during the day, and lively at night.

But the excitement lasted for two days. After two days of stalemate, when the three parties had a tacit understanding, someone came again.

This time it's three pirate ships!

Anyone who lives at sea knows what a virtue a pirate ship is.

Hanging the skeleton flag, a group of ragged pirates were on board, drinking and eating meat, and robbing when they met. Of course, sometimes, pirates would fight with pirates.

But this time, it was a large group of tyrannical islands. They heard the name of Gold Mine Island and came here to find gold. They didn't expect it to be so lively.

Before their pirate ship landed, it was stopped at sea by a Spanish galleon of foreigners.

There was a fierce battle between the two sides, from the initial bombardment with artillery, to the close-range shooting of guns, and the hand-to-hand combat after the transition.

The foreigners have high military literacy, and the pirates dare to go all out.

In addition, the foreigners are an exhausted army, and the pirates come here on a whim.

Although the pirates' ships and weapons were not as professional as the foreigners', they were evenly matched.

This happened at sea, but Master Fourteen and the others climbed to the highest mountain and took a rough look with binoculars.

"The pirates came in time." Nian Gengyao was no stranger to pirates.

He has wiped out pirates a lot, and he has also searched for pirate treasures. On some uninhabited islands, there are many treasures secretly stored by pirates. When their navy goes to sea, they will occasionally encounter one or two places by luck.

"Yeah, it's really getting more and more lively." The Fourteenth Master sighed endlessly, and it was like singing a big show.

"The pirates are coming, and the foreigners are going to deal with them. Let's go down the mountain!" Nian Gengyao wanted to go back to the ship, after all, the firepower configuration on the ship was better.

"Look again." The Fourteenth Master was not in a hurry: "Now we are the safest, occupying a geographical advantage, easy to defend and difficult to attack; the natives are highly mobile, and they are elusive; there are many foreigners, and the logistics supplies can keep up. There are so many ships; pirates, dare to go all out, now there are four forces on this island."

It feels like Quartet Army Chess!

The fight at sea was lively, and it didn't stop all day and night, but on the second day, well, another group of people came.

This group of people looked like foreigners, but they had a crush on the pirates when they first came, as if they were chasing the pirates.

The pirates were "sandwiched" by foreigners.

The foreigners on the island were divided into two, one part fought at sea, and the other continued to surround Fourteen and them to fight against the natives.

"Why are there so many ships of foreigners here?" Nian Gengyao frowned: "The pirates are also foreign pirates, isn't it strange that they know each other? Why are they still fighting?"

The Fourteenth Master watched it for a long time before he understood: "It was the Spaniards who attacked us, and the Portuguese who attacked us later."

The flag of the Kingdom of Spain was hung on the boat. The earliest flag of the Kingdom of Spain was very simple, with a white background and red lines resembling ears of wheat in a cross state.

The national flag of the Kingdom of Portugal is in the shape of a shield, but it is more like a badge, showing the attitude of "the king is the country".

People in the Qing Dynasty were not very clear about the distinction between Western countries and people, so they collectively referred to these Westerners as "Westerners", or "foreigners" for short.

Or scornfully called "foreign devils".

But the fourteenth master can tell the difference!

Especially when he saw two ships from western countries meet in Nanyang in the east, and even fought with pirates, he always felt that his IQ was not enough.

"They're all toothless?" Nian Gengyao really couldn't tell the difference.

"No, different teeth." Fourteenth Master was happy: "They are not from the same country, how could they appear here? Could it be that the Portuguese are also mining gold in the Far East?"

Spain is a colonial country, they colonized the Far East, but Portugal is a trading country, they are doing business in the Far East.

Why did the two kingdoms have fleets here?
