Chapter 104 The Oolong Incident at Sea

After hearing what Lin Yinzhe said, Yang Heng was very happy. Being able to find a guide who truly recognizes his way is obviously the most important thing at the moment.

Of course, if you really can't find a guide, you can only let Lin Yinzhe follow the team and walk to the southwest. No matter how many roads you walk on, you can always walk to Manila in the end. However, Yang Heng was unwilling to take this risk. Although Lin Yinzhe knew the indigenous language, he had to ask the indigenous people all the way, and even the indigenous people was confused. This was a bit like "blind man riding a blind horse". In any case, it was a very unreliable thing. Look at these indigenous people, they were all frogs in the well, that is, they were familiar with the blue sky above their heads. Only God knew whether anyone knew the distant Manila. If he could not meet a sensible person for many days, he would be blind.

Yang Heng called the order and the team turned to the beach. Lin Yinzhe and Yang Heng Lin Shifa walked together, communicating while walking. For more than 30 years, Lin Yinzhe had not only communicated with the natives in native language, but also spent time studying. When he suddenly met his hometown people, his desire to talk was particularly strong. But he didn't speak Chinese for a long time. He couldn't help but stutter and often made his face flushed before he could speak. Along the way, Lin Yinzhe spoke endlessly, while Lin Shifa kept translating Chaozhou dialect into Mandarin, and Yang Heng listened patiently. For such a patient listener, Lin Yinzhe felt a great impression of him and spoke even more energetic.

Yang Heng told Lin Yinzhe that he heard the name Lin Feng at the Royal Military Academy. The emperor mentioned Lin Feng specifically when he was giving a lecture, which was used as a combat case. The emperor said that Lin Feng's mistake was that he did not fully capture Manila, and the other was that he was relaxed in defense and burned dozens of ships by the Spanish sneak attack. When the emperor talked about Lin Feng's battle example, he was obviously very regretful. He heard that the emperor was also regretful, and Lin Yinzhe couldn't help but feel sad and wiped his tears several times. Finally, he endured himself and did not cry bitterly.

Back to the beach, rest for a night, and the next morning, the two ships sailed towards the island that Lin Yinzhe mentioned.

The temperature in Luzon in late lunar month is not much different from that in early summer in Nanjing. When sailing on the sea, the sun is shining and the warm wind blows, there is an indescribable refreshing. Lin Yinzhe has not been in the sea for more than ten years, and this time he feels extremely happy.

In the afternoon, according to Lin Yinzhe, he should have reached that island within one hour. Yang Heng felt relieved. He found someone as soon as possible and arrived in Manila as soon as possible, and he would have more chances of winning.

At this time, the sailor responsible for raising his lookout in the watchtower suddenly shouted:

"Report to the leader of the gang, there is something in front. The boat in front has started fighting."

When he arrived at the Luzon territory, Yang Heng was called the "gang leader", just like the leader of the gang of tyrants. Yang Heng was calm and faintly heard the sound of guns and cannons from afar. He quickly raised his telescope and saw a large ship surrounded by six small boats, as if six small boats were besieging the big ship. Yang Heng handed the telescope to Lin Yinzhe, and Lin Yinzhe took it and said immediately:

"This is a pirate robber, but I don't know which pirate was robbed and which ship was robbed. Could it be a robbery of Chinese merchant ships?"

Lin Yinzhe was a pirate family, but he did not wash his hands until his father's generation, but he still had some knowledge. There were many pirates in Luzon, including red-haired pirates, Chinese pirates, Japanese pirates, and of course indigenous pirates, among them.

Yang Heng asked quickly:

"I heard that the red-haired pirates in Luzon are very rampant. Could it be that the red-haired pirates are robbing?"

Lin Yinzhe pondered for a moment and replied:

"I heard that the Red-haired pirates are all big ships, and these pirates only have small boats, so they should be small pirates."

Lin Yinzhe thought it was right. The red-haired man traveled thousands of miles to be a pirate, and he could not have just a few small boats in his hand.

Yang Heng was considering whether to provide help. After all, he was responsible for this trip and could not affect the entire plan because of rescue. If the loss of big things is not worth it, it would be a loss.

While Yang Heng was hesitating, Lin Yinzhe said:

"Gang Yang, according to what I saw, you might as well go over and take a look. If it is a Chinese merchant ship, you will have to rescue him."

Yang Heng weighed the matter and felt that what Lin Yinzhe said was reasonable. In addition to fighting guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army under the sign of "domestic tyrants", there was also a plan to arm the Chinese Luzon against the Japanese army. If the Chinese merchant ships were saved, the problem of guides could be solved.

No longer hesitated, and asked a team leader Fu Sancai to follow the wheel boat to find out the situation. If it was a Chinese merchant ship, it was necessary to rescue him.

The wheels flew around and accelerated and moved forward.

The wheel boat was approaching the robbery. Fu Sancai looked from a distance and saw the pirates in the boat, all of whom were dark in their faces. He must be natives. On the big ship, everyone's skin color looked like Chinese.

Fu Sancai was furious and shouted:

"Fuck these savage gangs of wild gangs, how dare they rob Chinese! Damn! I'm impatient to live. Brothers, do it and clean up these gangs of gangs."

Guo Yanqi pulled Fu Sancai and whispered:

"The battalion commander told me to drive away the natives, but I didn't let them all kill them."

Fu Sancai then remembered that when he arrived in Luzon, the battalion commander repeatedly told him to avoid making enemies with the natives. After Guo Yanqi reminded him, he quickly changed his words:

"Brothers, follow my orders and when the shots are fired, scare these bastards and drive them away, don't beat people to death."

After saying that, he shouted: "Let's fire!"

The "Eagle Camp" is equipped with "45" type rifles. A bang bang bang bang bang bang. Recently, the sail on a small boat was pierced through countless holes. When the pirate saw that the situation turned sharply, the other party came with strong support, so he turned around and ran away.

When he saw the pirates running away in all directions, Fu Sancai waved his hand, Guo Yanqi picked up the iron trumpet and shouted at the big ship in Fujian language:

"Listen to the big ship opposite, we are also Chinese, don't be afraid, the pirate ship is killed and you are rescued!"

Strangely, the people on the ship opposite had no response. Fu Sancai waved his hand again. Lin Shifa took the iron horn and repeated it in Chaozhou dialect. Similarly, the people on the ship were still confused.

What's even more strange is that those pirate ships no longer escaped. A ship closest to the wheel boat showed a head, but the man was no longer dark-faced. Although there were stains on his face, he had a standard Chinese face. The man shouted in Chaozhou dialect:

"Listen to the Chinese brothers on the other side, we are Chinese, and the people on that big ship are all Japanese."

Fu Sancai was shocked and said to himself: Damn! It seems like he was hit wrong now!

Lin Shifa still didn't believe that the other party was actually a Chinese, but since the big ship had not responded, it might be really a Japanese. Lin Shifa was skeptical and shouted:

"You said you were Chinese, and you were obviously native to the ship, so why?"

At this time, two more people stood up on the boat and wiped them on their dark faces, revealing their true skin color. One of them was a beautiful woman, and she shouted:

"We are indeed Chinese brothers on the ship opposite. This time we dressed up as an indigenous person, so we had to do it."

Only then did Fu Sancai and his group realize that they had really helped the wrong person. They felt angry. His grandmother, the one they were going to beat the Japanese this time, but they made a big mistake. Fu Sancai regretted it and turned his anger to the Japanese on the boat and shouted:

"Quick! Rush up and kill these little Japanese."

Guo Yanqi raised his horn and shouted at the big ship:

"Little Japan, surrender! Raise your hands and surrender. Otherwise, you will definitely die without a place to die."

There was no sign of surrender on the ship.

Lin Shifa curled his lips and said:

"Don't waste your mouth, can the little Japanese understand?"

Guo Yanqi then woke up and was purely playing the piano to the cow. Fu Sancai immediately shouted at the boat:

"The Chinese brothers on the opposite side are brothers and sisters, listen, it is natural for Chinese to help the Chinese, get on together and kill the Japanese ship!"

The Japanese were on the ship. What made the Japanese sad was that the only person on the ship who knew a little Chinese was killed by a pirate's grenade. The scene now was like a savior. I thought that a savior had come, but I didn't expect that the savior would immediately become a bad star. I was already in a difficult position to deal with the six small boats, and the firepower of the coming ship was even more powerful. The resistance was obviously futile. The Japanese samurai on the ship was still stubborn at the beginning, but the resistance was nothing more than seeking death. The Japanese muskets could not compete with the "45" rifle. When Yang Heng's big ship approached, the resistance on the Japanese ship had already ended, and the Japanese were killed and injured, and the rest surrendered.

Yang Heng saw this scene clearly with a telescope in the distance, and was full of suspicion. After moving closer, he realized that he had made a big mistake at the beginning. Fortunately, he only injured two Chinese brothers, and these two were only slightly injured.

Lin Yinzhe immediately recognized that these people were the one he was looking for. Uncle Zeng had some friendship with his father and had been to his place where he lived. Lin Yinzhe hurriedly went to recognize each other, but he could only say that he had made a book by chance. Unexpectedly, he met on the sea in this way, and almost turned into a false and wrong case.

It turned out that this was a merchant ship from Japan, transporting more than 100 Japanese people, including twenty-three samurai. However, the ship was hired by Jin San, who was responsible for posing as Chinese to kill indigenous people on the east coast of Luzon, and then paying for the indigenous people. Hashimoto sent three people to supervise. Whenever he went to the indigenous people's settlements, he used muskets and spears to pretend to be Chinese to kill indigenous people.

Henglu Jinsan's move was the most sinister. This move came from the Hongxi tragedy directed by the Dutch colonists in Indonesia. The Dutch incited the natives to hate the Chinese, and finally even paid rewards to the natives at the top of the Chinese. Henglu Jinsan was inspired by the infamous "Hongxi tragedy". After Japan occupied Manila, the Chinese were unstable factors. Of course, it was not advisable to publicly massacre the Chinese. However, the Dutch had done this in the 18th century and the Sukarno government did the same in the 20th century. Not to mention, the move of "mobilizing the masses to fight against the masses" was suitable for everyone.

Henglu Jinsan hired Japanese to pretend to be Chinese to kill indigenous people, which attracted a large number of Japanese to join the ranks of killing people and receiving rewards. This plan was to blame others, and the other was to blame the indigenous people in Henglu Jinsan's killing range, killing two birds with one stone, which was so vicious!

Uncle Zeng and his gang usually fished, hunted and cultivated, but they did not abandon the old business and did some pirate business from time to time. They accidentally discovered that the Japanese were deliberately framed, so they besieged the Japanese merchant ship. However, the Japanese took Manila and publicly fought against the Japanese, which was obviously unwise. Therefore, Uncle Zeng and his gang had to put on makeup and acted in native pirates, which almost led to a tragedy of killing each other.
