On the Shuikou wharf, the common people sang and danced, dragon and lion dances, but the soldiers, hungry children, women and children were more concerned about the fat pigs who were stabbed and struggling and howling, because they had long been unable to remember how long they had not eaten meat, and the taste of meat seemed to be still in the previous life, for them who had three meals of gruel a day, it was just as much as the New Year's expectation, even if they couldn't get the meat in the end, it would be good to be able to share some pig blood to eat, and there was already an old woman telling her noisy grandchildren about the taste of pig blood and salt.

When Zhu Jinglun got off the boat, he saw such a scene, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, it's quite lively." ”

A group of squires stood in front of him enthusiastically, left and right and behind him, there were Heshan squires who came to greet him, they didn't expect Zhu Jinglun's soldiers to really help them beat away the Hakka.

The black dog was triumphant, because he fought this battle, and those Hakka group exercises that were blown to the sky by the local squire, he was beaten away with three punches and two kicks, how could he have no choice.

Here's the thing, Zhu Jinglun returned to Xin'an, originally planned to dismantle two fortress guns to bombard the Hakka pillbox in Shuikou, but it happened that the arsenal built two 18-pound fortress guns, which were originally intended to be placed in the Chiwan Fort, Zhu Jinglun directly called it first, just to test the performance of the cannons.

The Hakka bunker is indeed very strong, the Qing army's earthen artillery can't be opened, and the foreigners' infantry cannons are helpless, in front of this kind of fortress cannon used to hit warships, but it is not enough to see, after two hours of shelling, the small pillbox itself collapsed, and the Hakka regiment inside rushed out like crazy, very brave, but this bravery is to die in front of the well-trained platoon guns, not to mention that the Xin'an musketeers are still rifled guns in their hands, not to mention that they have infantry artillery behind them.

In the end, more than 100 people were killed, and the Shuikou Hakka regiment, which numbered 300, broke and fled.

"Didn't catch anyone?"

After listening to the black dog's report, Zhu Jinglun was still very regretful.

The black dog said: "They ran faster than the dogs, and in the end they all ran into the mountains, and we didn't catch up." ”

Zhu Jinglun sighed: "Forget it, so be it." ”

He originally wanted to finish the battle, and then pull the Hakka people to make a convention together and abide by it together, but now there is no Hakka participation in this convention, and if he does not make a contract, it will be completely meaningless for him to come, and he has no interest in watching the rifled gun slaughter cold weapons regiment practice.

"You still have to have Hakka people to participate, otherwise it will be difficult to speak in the future."

Zhu Jinglun pondered, he was not in a hurry, the Turks had been fighting for four or five years, and this hatred could not be dissolved, unless one party drained the blood, otherwise it would have to be fought, and he could resolve it in a few words, which was unrealistic.

"Issue a notice to inform the Hakka people to come and collect the body."

The corpse of the dead companion still needs to be wanted, as long as there is a chance to believe that the Hakka people are willing to come to receive it, there will be a chance to communicate at that time.

As for the people who issued a notice to invite them to negotiate, I'm afraid it's impossible, if they want to agree, they agreed last time in Xinhui, as for the Shuikou Hakka people who have been beaten away now, what they are thinking about now is definitely not to negotiate with the Cantonese people and the government, I'm afraid they are contacting the families and planning to take revenge and come back.

The Great War is yet to come.

"Just celebrate a little bit, it's serious to find someone to repair this bunker, and the Hakka people will call you."

The black dog was surprised: "They still dare to come?" ”

Zhu Jinglun sighed: "If they don't hit the south wall three or four times, they won't give up." ”

Thinking that those Hakka people would brave the dense artillery fire to rush to the strong bunker, Zhu Jinglun felt uncomfortable, in his heart human life is the highest, but the reality is that in this era, in this era when there are more people and less land has reached the critical point, it is common sense for everyone to shed blood for the land.

After listening to some other information, now all places have launched a major counteroffensive against the Hakka people, in Yunwu and Yangjiang, the Tujia people have gathered tens of thousands of troops, and have been trained for more than two years, and they have become strong and strong, and a lot of progress has been made everywhere.

For example, the Cantonese people in Yangjiang, they are mainly the gentry landlords and ordinary people of Guangfu who were driven away from Xinning Zhaimen, they found the Yangjiang League Defense Bureau a few years ago, and offered to hire the Yangjiang Bureau's regimental training to help them regain the land, and they promised to divide a part of the land to the Yangjiang Bureau after regaining the land.

The later development of this incident was that the Yangjiang Bureau helped them recover the land, but the government confiscated the land, and the landlords of Guangfu not only did not take back their own land, but were forced to pay the Yangjiang Bureau 6,000 yuan and a commission of 466 mu of land, which can be described as a heavy loss.

As for why the government wanted to confiscate those lands, some people say that the local government is interested in getting rich, and some people say that the local government is biased in favor of the guest nationality, which is unreasonable, and if the guest nationality is favored, the Yangjiang Bureau will not be allowed to participate in the war.

In fact, Zhu Jinglun has long experienced the attitude of the government, that is, while being neutral, he supports the Cantonese people to recover the land, the first Cantonese people have more influence in the government, and the second Hakka people occupy other people's land, after all, it is unreasonable, rather than waiting for the future to be peaceful and the land lawsuit that the government cannot end, it is better to let the natives take it back by themselves.

The reason why the Yangjiang Bureau dared to ask for the land of the landlords in Xinning County was because Yangjiang County supported them, and the Yangjiang County Order even stated that it would issue them land deeds.

But overall, the attitude of the government still hopes to settle down the people through the mud, and the Hakka people and the Cantonese people continue to fight against no one, you must know that the fighting in recent years, so that the government can not receive much water, Xinhui Nie Zhi County has begun to collect the handmade products such as sunflower fans, and Xinhui is still a county that has not been affected by the fight, and occasionally the impact is also small-scale, and it has been greatly affected, so it is conceivable that the situation of Enping County is conceivable.

It was precisely because of the acquiescence of the government that the Cantonese government began to turn to the offensive on a large scale, and before that, although the arms fighting on both sides had not been broken, they were all small-scale arms fights in local areas, and the overall arms fighting was silent for more than two years, but suddenly broke out again, not only because it was driven by the anti-land cutting movement in the Pearl River Delta area, but also because of the attitude of the local officials in the counties.

With the acquiescence of the magistrates, the organization of armed forces by the Cantonese people, and the anti-land seizure movement that encouraged the villagers everywhere, it was only natural to take this opportunity to launch a general offensive, and Zhu Jinglun's arrival may have only advanced this major counteroffensive by a few months, and did not cause a change in the general trend.

But the Hakka people are not so easy to fight, Zhu Jinglun knows that although the Cantonese people rely on stronger economic strength and arm more people, but the courage of the Hakka people makes up for a certain gap, although it has been shrinking in the next few years, in general, they still occupy the land of many Cantonese people.

The Hakka people really came to an end, or they were entangled with the Hong soldiers, next year there will be a Hakka rebel army defeated by Guangxi Lao Chongguang to flee to this area, and then the Hakka people elected the leader of the Hong soldiers as their leader, hoping that these rebels can help them reverse the decline, but instead created an opportunity for the government to directly intervene, and the government directly transferred the Hunan army, which finally and completely suppressed the Hakka people.

The Hunan people in the Xiangxi area are not inferior to the Hakka mountain people in terms of bravery, but they are more organized, have better weapons, have better commanders, and have mastered rich combat experience in the competition with the Taiping army, so it is impossible for the Hakka people to fight against this kind of regular army with the will to fight (although the Hunan army is not a regular army in name, it is actually more regular than the regular army).

Zhu Jinglun compared it and thought that the current level of his musketeers should at least catch up with the Hunan army, and perhaps they were still inferior in terms of combat will and combat experience, but they were more disciplined, their weapons were more advanced, their combat methods were more reasonable, and their comprehensive level was at a higher level.

After this battle, Zhu Jinglun had reason to believe that his army would surpass the Hunan army, which was the best army in China, and become the strongest army in China, and he would be full-fledged at that time.

The Hakka people really couldn't ignore the corpses of their compatriots, and after learning from what source that the government announced that they could take away their own corpses, the Hakka people sent a few young students, cautiously approached Shuikou, and asked to take away their corpses.

Zhu Jinglun let them get their wish, and suppressed the demand of a group of Guangfu regiments to kill these Hakka people, Zhu Jinglun couldn't help but feel a little contemptible, you are so brave when you fight, and you will not be driven out.

Zhu Jinglun asked the Hakka people to take away the corpse, not to show any civilization, but to convey a message to the Hakka people, that is, he Zhu Jinglun's words count, in ancient times, there was a Shang Dynasty city gate to win the trust of the people, Zhu Jinglun returned the corpse to the Hakka people, only integrity, only credit, is the basis of any agreement.

But this kind of integrity is not established immediately, if you don't leave a few more bloods and don't die a few more lives, the Hakka people will not give up, because the land they occupy means that they have more ability to raise offspring than the Cantonese people, and the most primitive reproductive nature of this creature is driven by it, not by reason.

Sure enough, a few days later, nearly 1,000 Hakka people set off from the two Hakka base camps of Heshan Yunxiang and Kaipingcang City at the same time and rushed to Shuikou, and a big war was inevitable.

Driven by the joy of recapturing the fields, the locals of Shuikou burst out with great enthusiasm for work, they repaired the Hakka bunker in a short time, and before the Hakka army arrived, the old and weak retreated to Xinhui, and the musketeers of Turen Xiangyong and Black Dog, as well as the artillery led by Chen Quzhi entered the bunker to defend together.

2,000 musketeers, 100 artillerymen, plus 1,000 village warriors, defended by pillboxes, and trained against 3,000 cangcheng and 2,000 Hakka regiments.

After attacking three times and leaving more than 200 corpses, the Hakka people still did not retreat, they dug trenches in various places nearby, and even planned to encircle them for a long time.

Isn't this a joke, Zhu Jinglun's soldiers occupy the dock, and the waterway has been unblocked, how can they surround it?

Their method is to set up wooden stakes on the river, intending to block the waterway, which is also reliable, after four or five years of fighting, how can there be some military experience, and it is likely that there are also members of the Taiping rebel army who fled from Guangxi, I heard that Shi Dakai recently ran back to Guangxi to carry out activities, maybe a few scattered soldiers went to Guangdong to seek refuge with Hakka relatives.

Of course, they could not be allowed to do so, the soldiers in the bunker went out to fight, under the cover of artillery, and launched a field battle with the Hakka regiment operating on the other side of the river, and after repelling them, they forcibly crossed the river and pursued them for ten miles, until they were driven into the mountains.

After they tried several more times, the black dogs all attacked and repelled them, and after repeating this, they persisted for more than a month, and the Hakka people finally sent someone willing to negotiate.
