Chapter 791 Special Anti-colonial Operation
Chapter 793?Special anti-colonial action
Borneo, Lanfang Kingdom.
In the morning mist at Shilongmen Camp, Luo Zhongxing's pocket watch pointer pointed to 3:30. This military stronghold located in the northwest of Borneo is only five miles away from the Sarawak border. The watchtower around the camp has been added for fifteen consecutive days, and the entire camp has been on the highest alert for half a month. Starting three days ago, the entire camp was in a state of war. Yesterday afternoon, all the officers and soldiers knew about the mission they were about to undertake!
"All assemble!" Luo Zhongxing's roar echoed in the rain forest.
This 28-year-old camp commander is a representative of the young and powerful sect of Lan Fang army. He is the cousin of Luo Zhonghua, the current Lan Fang commander, and a descendant of Luo Fangbo, the founder of Lan Fang Kingdom.
When the local soldiers poured out of the bamboo shed, Lao Wang, the chief of the cooking squad, symbolically smashed a pot of pottery. This Guangdong man in his thirties shouted, "I'll kill you, and I won't stop until I break Saraw!" This is a unique ceremony for the Lan Fang army. Before going to war, a pottery must be broken, which means burning the pottery. It is said that it was passed down by Luo Fangbo's generation.
The recruit Li Abao was busy sorting out his equipment. His three-year-old rifle stock not only carved "Fengtian Killing Yi" butt, but also tied a small pocket, wrapped in the soil from his hometown Guangdong and his wife's hair.
When the first ray of sunlight at dawn penetrated the rainforest, six companies of soldiers had already lined up in the playground, and Luo Zhongxing jumped onto a platform made of ten ammunition boxes.
"Brothers!" Luo Zhongxing's voice was particularly clear in the morning mist. "A hundred years ago, our ancestors left the countryside in Southeast Asia. They worked hard for generations, and they developed the rarely-traveled Borneo into their current appearance. However, the British man named Brooke relied on the British Empire behind him to rob the best land on Borneo and set up a Sarawak country!" He suddenly pulled out his revolver and fired three shots in the sky. "The order of the meeting of the kings has come down, and a special anti-colonial operation is launched...\n.\n.\n.\n. Retake Sarawak and unify Borneo...\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n."
Just as Luo Zhongxing was carrying out his final mobilization, the local soldiers of the Transport Company under his devil were loading ammunition for the horses. These ponies from Sichuan were extremely stamina, and each horse could carry 200 kilograms of supplies. Each battalion was equipped with hundreds of horses, which was enough to support the Lan Fang army to attack Kuching, the capital of Sarawak.
The soldiers of the machine gun company are inspecting six thirteenth-year-old multi-barrel guns. This weapon, called the "iron broom", requires six local soldiers to operate and can fire 200 bullets per minute!
"Sing the military song! Set off..." With Luo Zhonghua's order, more than 500 Guangdong and Fujian accents sang Lan Fang's national anthem "My Chinese Heart".
Luo Zhongxing found that his tears could not be stopped. He remembered his father's words before his death: "Zhongxing, China is prosperous... Remember that you are Chinese!"
When the bayonets of the eight Lan Fang infantry battalions opened the almost unguarded border of the Sarawak Kingdom, the sky in the east was already bright, Luo Zhongxing stood in a post of the Sarawak army occupied by his subordinates, turned to the messenger and said, "Report to the Grand Commander: The surprise attack was successful!"
On the bridge of the "Tianjing" ironclad ship, Zhang Bao's hand holding a brass telescope was still moving. The 27-year-old lieutenant general was calm and calm, and at this moment he was carefully observing the terrain of Bangkok Bay...
"1,300 yards away from the main turret, the wind is southeast, and the wind is three knots." The voice of the observer came from the sound tube. Zhang Bao nodded slightly, turned his head to the cannon master and said to the cannon master: "Recharge the flares, first the gift, then the soldiers." He touched the pocket watch on his chest. This was a gift from his mentor Luo Yaoguo when he graduated from the Shanghai Naval Academy. The inside of the watch cover was engraved with eight small words "Perish people with virtue, gunboat diplomacy."
At the same time, at the Bangkok Royal Palace, the gangster who was born in the Siam Cantonese Gang, and the current Minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to Siam, was sitting among the Siam ministers with his legs crossed. He grabbed a golden mango and chewed it, and the juice splashed on the Minister of Finance's silk dress.
"Brother Zheng," Chen Atai pointed at the treaty text with his fingers covered with juice. "Look at this third article: The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom protects Siam from the colonial rule of the Western powers...:::.How cost-effective! Our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not seek rewards, and has come thousands of miles to protect you. Is there anything more cost-effective than this?" He lowered his voice, "Brother, have you heard that England wants to fight against the Yellow Peril, and America wants to fight against the Chinese? You are a yellow person and a Chinese person.::::.English Heavenly Kingdom, what America wants to fight against, what you want to fight against.....Tell me, do you want to protect the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"
The trembling fingers of King Meng Gu must be for foreigners!
"Boom!" The first flare exploded at the mouth of Chao Phraya River, and the dazzling white light shone the glazed tiles of the palace like daylight.
Chen Atai took the opportunity to stuff the brush into the king's hand: "Sign it quickly, if it is replaced with a bitter sour shell later...::::" He has a "benefit of others", so he kindly told the Siam King the consequences of "refuse of visa". As for what it feels like to smash the bitter sour shell...\n:::. You can tell from the name that it must be bitter and sour, which is not easy to feel.
The Marines' landing craft had been laid down. Three hundred Marines in dark blue uniforms were checking their equipment. Their uniforms were different from those of the Army, with wave patterns embroidered on their collars and specially made waterproof ammunition bags hanging on their belts around their waists.
When Chen Atai walked out of the palace with the signed treaty, the second shell landed on the open space of the Royal Wharf. This time it was equipped with sandbags for training, but the huge impact force still overturned the three cargo boxes on the wharf.
"Cancel the team!" Zhang Bao ordered with satisfaction. He turned to the adjutant and said, "Send a message to Tianjing: "The special anti-colonial operation in the Gulf of Siam has been completed and the treaty has been signed."
On the wall of Lang San Acropolis, Feng Zicai's telescope swept over the loyal Qing officials kneeling under the city...\n. It disappeared early in the morning.
But these people have always occupied the land of Annan under the banner of "Qing Dynasty". They also set up a Guangnan Province to sell grain to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Over the years, they have done a lot of unethical things.
Of course, the blame is all from the Qing Dynasty. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is good. Now the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom finally found that the Qing Dynasty had not been completely destroyed, so it sent Feng Zicai to lead troops to destroy it.
As for Ruilin, Bai Gui, and Lao Chongguang, the three chief officials of Guangnan Province of the Qing Dynasty, Ruilin called himself General Guangnan, Bai Gui called himself "Governor of the Two Souths" (Guangnan, Annan), Lao Chongguang called himself "Governor of Guangnan" but did not dare to resist the heavenly soldiers. He heard that Feng Zicai led the troops to "destroy the Qing Dynasty", so he quickly took thousands of "Qing soldiers" below to Lang San Guard to surrender.
"Preparing for the surrender ceremony." Feng Zicai told the adjutant. He specially changed into a brand new wool-material military uniform. This was a general dress made of wool-ferrous imported from the UK by the Tianjing Clothing Factory, with golden wheat ear patterns embroidered on the cuffs.
In the open space outside the city, eight thousand Taiping Army was implementing the "Huairou Order". Each surrendered soldier could receive ten new Taiping silver dollars and a "True Saint Book" with a blue cloth cover. The military officers who sent the money looked kind-hearted. Every time they sent a copy, they would say, "Do it well, from today on, you will be the Taiping Army."
The commander of Feng Zicai, Liu Yongfu, commanded the Taiping Army of more than 10,000 people to cross the small Langshan Acropolis and move southward. Their target was not only Guangnan Province of the Qing Dynasty, but also to help the Annan Ruan Dynasty in the south to fight against colonization!
I heard that the French Emperor Napoleon always wanted to colonize Annan, and sent military advisers and missionaries to Annan Hue, and they had to go against it!
"In accordance with the heavens, the king of heaven said...::.:" Feng Zicai deliberately provoked his edict and recited the edict. When he read the three words "Rebirth Bo", Bai Gui fainted with excitement. The military doctor stepped forward to check and reported: "It's okay, I'm just happy." Feng Zicai sneered: "You have to treat him well. Don't be happy to death. He still has blessings to enjoy!"
After the surrender ceremony, Feng Zicai climbed the city tower alone. He took out Luo Yaoguo's handwritten letter from his arms. The last sentence in the letter read: "After Guangnan, we should first use the Qing officials to govern the Qing people and stabilize the Qing land with the Qing government. Although Ruilin, Bai Gui, and Lao Chongguang killed countless people in Guangnan and committed many evil deeds, their foundation in Guangnan has been stable and they have the merit of opening up the border, so they can all be retained...\n.

In the war room of the Prime Minister's Office in Tianjin, Luo Yaoguo's red pen in his hand drew one red circle after another on the map. This "Taiping Universe Map" is a new product just sent from the Shanghai Printing and Bookmark Office last month. It uses the latest British color lithographic technology and is hand-touched by the painter of the Shanghai Printing and Bookmark Office, and even the tiniest island is clearly marked.
"Report to the Prime Minister, British Ambassador, and French Ambassador requested an emergency meeting." Secretary-General Cheng Lingnan's voice came from outside the door. Luo Yaoguo did not raise his head: "Let them wait, wait until we take Luzon before we talk." He turned to Deputy Chief of Staff Zhu Ba and said, "Send a report to Zhang Bao and lead the fleet to Luzon Island."
"Get the order!" Zhu Ba responded, then turned around and gave orders to the staff.
Luo Yaoguo wrote four fly-headed small calligraphy "Luzon Heaven" on the edge of Luzon Island on the map.
After Zhu Ba left for a while, Cheng Lingnan rushed in with a newly translated telegram manuscript: "Your Highness, Lan Fang's military victory! Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, has been conquered!"
Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly and drew another red circle on the calendar. This day was September 15, 14th year of Tianli.
According to this progress, at most one month, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be the dominant of two-thirds of the Pacific Ocean. As for the remaining one-third, Luo Yaoguo's eyes slowly shifted to the British Isles on the edge of the map.
