Part 4 The Maritime Silk Road 44 and the Barracks Riot

General Fernando tricked Li Dan into the Vito Cruze military camp with some clever words, and sat in his official residence waiting for news from all sides.

The Hound Team tracked down to the vicinity of Pasig Village on the north bank of the Bashi River, and found Zhu Hui waiting outside the village, and only approached him when it was close to evening, and after confirming that these people were all Lin Feng's minions, they did not disturb them.

After Zhu Hui was taken away by Lin Feng's minions, he crossed the beach and boarded the boat and left, the hound team had no boat, so they had to stare dryly, and followed all the way along the coast, just like that, the hound tracked for a whole night, and at the same time, something happened from the Vito Cruze military camp, so that General Fernando did not sleep all night.

Li Dan came to the Vito Cruze military camp, and according to General Fernando's instructions, he first appeased Wasuka Koroku, saying that the general's trust in them was far greater than those Ryukyu soldiers, and if the enemy army came to attack, he would issue them weapons and ask them to guard the gates of Manila in the future.

According to the expected plan, the tribal rebellion deployed by Lin Feng in various parts of the archipelago will start tomorrow, and the armed forces composed of local people will be sent to various places to quell the rebellion; At the same time, the ronin fleet on the island of Kyushu will also reach Manila Bay, and the Spanish Navy will inevitably go to sea to meet it......

As long as the war outside starts, even if Gonzalez does not allow Wasuka Koroku and his gang to leave the barracks, they are ready to riot in the barracks and take it in one fell swoop while the air defense of Manila City is weak.

Bee Suga Xiaoliu's heart was like a fire, and he couldn't deny Li Dan's words, what he needed most now was to let Zhang Gou'er and the others move out of the palm forest quickly, don't at this critical moment, the information sent by the carrier pigeon fell into their hands.

Zhang Gou'er and his 200 men didn't want to go back to the barracks, they all rested on the spot under the palm forest, they also wanted to catch a few pigeons, and the Ryukyu soldiers tried all kinds of ways to scare the birds away.

Li Dan ran over to Zhang Gou'er again and told him about the danger he might face, and that he would all evacuate this military camp by tomorrow at the latest, and asked Zhang Gou'er to act at the opportunity and not act rashly.

Regardless of whether Li Ruiqi was really psychic or not, according to General Fernando's instructions, Gonzalez had to protect him from hurting him in the event of a conflict between the Japanese and the Ryukyus, so he was no longer allowed to wander around the barracks.

After pacifying the Japanese ronin, Li Dan carefully observed the birds in the sky before going to report to Gonzalez, and found that in addition to a pigeon nest in the palm forest, there should be in the barracks, so it is necessary to let Zhang Gou'er move out of the palm forest, and let Li Ruiqi find a way to catch all the carrier pigeons, which will be of great use in the future, and at the same time, it can be regarded as meeting the requirements of Bee Suga Xiaoliu, and will also prevent the continued transmission of information between Bee Suga Xiaoliu and Lin Feng tonight.

Li Dan had made up his mind in his heart, ran to the palm forest again to find a dog, and told him not to disturb the birds in the tree anymore, and to evacuate from here later, and let Li Ruiqi stay under the palm forest tonight, it is best to catch all the carrier pigeons, and then, the two avoided the soldiers, discussed mysteriously for a long time, and formulated a careful action plan.

Zhang Gou'er followed Li Dan's advice and immediately led people to evacuate the palm grove, and when they arrived at another clearing near the wall, Wasuka Koroku smiled with satisfaction when he saw that the Ryukyu soldiers were no longer trying to catch pigeons.

After successfully appeasing all parties, Li Danlai reported to Gonzalez, took the opportunity to contact Li Ruiqi, and quietly told him that he must catch all the pigeons tonight, find a way to leave the barracks, and send the pigeons to Pasig Village, where they will be handed over to Chen Zhi and others who are waiting there.

Gonzalez called Bee Suga Xiaoliu and Zhang Gou'er together, and after Li Dan's mediation, Zhang Gou'er and Bee Suga Xiaoliu "got back together", and the two sides eliminated the "misunderstanding".

Because the barracks of the Ryukyu soldiers and the Japanese ronin were mixed before, and now there is a conflict, Bee Suga Koroku proposed to live separately from the Ryukyu soldiers, and Zhang Gouer happily agreed.

Koroku Wasuka took the initiative to give up a side barracks and drew a cordon, and after the room was changed, he would no longer let the Ryukyu soldiers approach his territory.

Under Gonzalez's supervision, the Ryukyu soldiers and the Japanese ronin began to change barracks, and Li Dan took the opportunity to quietly hand over a bag of flints and two sharp knives to Zhang Gou'er.

Zhang Gou'er understood, and quietly told Li Dan that on the third watch tonight, he would find a way to control Bee Suga Xiaoliu and provoke a riot in the military camp to cooperate with Li Ruiqi's actions, and after catching those carrier pigeons, he would find a way to cover Li Ruiqi and let him escape from the military camp as soon as possible.

Li Dan and Li Ruiqi were both arranged by Gonzalez to stay outside the barracks, and after dinner, Gonzalez led the patrol through the barracks, everything was normal, and then went to inspect the various sentry posts outside the wall.

When they returned to the barracks, they met Li Ruiqi and Li Dan wandering at the door, and Gonzalez immediately interrogated them.

Li Dan hurriedly stepped forward to explain, now is the critical moment to capture Lin Feng, if the psychic under Bee Suga Xiaoliu continues to report to Lin Feng tonight, General Fernando will fall short, therefore, the psychic still needs to do it in the military camp tonight.

Gonzalez and General Fernando had been in contact with each other, and knowing that the hounds were on the move tonight, he asked the guards at the door to let Li Ruiqi in, leaving Li Dan outside, and Li Dan did not argue.

On the third watch, there was a sudden wail in the barracks, and the Ryukyu soldiers and the Japanese ronin fought......

Gonzalez woke up from his dream, hurriedly assembled the musket team, and in order to communicate with both of them, he personally lifted Li Dan "in his sleep".

When the Spaniards' musket team arrived near the barracks, the soldiers of both sides were fighting fiercely, but Zhang Gou'er and Wasuka Koroku were nowhere to be seen, and Gonzalez ordered Li Dan to call their names loudly.

At this moment, a burst of fire suddenly burst out from the sky above one of the barracks, and Gonzalez saw that he could not see it, and hurriedly ordered the musket team to retreat, but the red-eyed Japanese ronin rushed up like jackals, howling and trying to snatch the muskets.

The arquebus shot the Japanese ronin who rushed to the front, and then the Japanese ronin army rushed towards the musketeers, and Gonzalez ordered all the musketeers to evacuate while directing the row of musketeers behind to shoot.

At the critical moment, Koroku Beesuka, who was tied up by five flowers, suddenly appeared in front of the ronin, and behind him were Zhang Gou'er and two Ryukyu soldiers.

The Japanese ronins who were playing with their lives saw that their boss was tied up and all stopped their actions, but at this time, Gonzalez ordered the musketeers to fire again, and the Japanese ronin fell again in an instant.

The Ryukyu soldiers and the Japanese ronin inside and outside the barracks were still fighting each other, and as the fire spread, they all moved outside, and the two sides of the fight approached the gate of the barracks while fighting, and the scouts at the outpost on the wall all focused on these people, and no one paid attention to Li Ruiqi under the palm grove anymore.

Li Ruiqi squatted under the palm grove, used all kinds of tricks, caught all a dozen carrier pigeons, put them in his pocket, and silently watched the battle on the barracks......

Gonzalez wanted the two of them to fight each other, and for the sake of his own safety, he ordered someone to arrest Wasuka Koroku and Zhang Gou'er into the command post together.

The barracks were almost burned down, but no one went to put out the fire, the Ryukyu soldiers had no commander, and the number was small, and after most of the dead and wounded, the remaining people all gathered at the gate of the barracks, and the Japanese ronin had an absolute advantage in numbers, and soon surrounded them.

Fearing that they would rush out of the barracks en masse, Gonzalez mobilized all the soldiers at the outpost on the wall, and set up more than a dozen artillery pieces outside the barracks gate, all the Spanish soldiers were on high alert, but no one stopped the Ryukyu soldiers and the Japanese ronin.

Li Ruiqi observed that there was no one in the outpost, and the barracks were still burning in flames, and thick smoke filled the sky over the entire barracks.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Ruiqi carried the bag of carrier pigeons on his back, quietly climbed to a big tree against the wall, jumped up, went up the wall, carefully observed for a while, and found that there were no Spanish soldiers outside the wall, so he jumped up a tall coconut tree along the wall, quickly slipped down from the coconut tree, and immediately got into a plantain forest......

Faced with the threat of the Spaniards' muskets and artillery, the two sides stopped fighting, and the number of Japanese ronins did not decrease, and there were less than 100 Ryukyu soldiers left, and many of them were disabled and became prisoners of the Japanese ronin.

The Japanese ronin surrounded the Ryukyu soldiers, and the Spanish musketeers and more than a dozen artillery pieces aimed at the Japanese ronin, forcing them to leave the barracks and driving them all into the exercise ground.

Gonzalez had already started to kill, but because of the large number of Japanese soldiers, he was worried that no one would be able to control it when there was another conflict, so he just asked Li Dan to sit as an interpreter and appease them, telling them that Archbishop Perez was on his way, that although the barracks were burned, he could distribute tents to them, and that he would provide food to everyone at dawn, and so on, trying to dispel their vigilance first.

The Japanese ronins all understand that there is still one day left at the latest, Kyushu reinforcements enter Manila Bay, and Lin Feng is rioting collectively on the islands, and it should be them who have come to clean up these high-spirited Westerners, and now the Ryukyu soldiers have suddenly made trouble and disrupted their deployment, so these ronins have proposed to meet their commander Wasuka Koroku and demand that the Ryukyu soldiers and their generals be severely punished.

Gonzalez agreed to the Japanese request and sent someone to invite Wasuka Koroku and Zhang Gou'er over.

Under the control of the Spanish soldiers, the two gave their own orders, and the Japanese ronin released the Ryukyu soldiers in the encirclement first, and in order to prevent the Ryukyu soldiers from making trouble, the Japanese resolutely refused to be with these Ryukyu soldiers.

Zhang Gou'er was eager to leave the barracks with the remnants of the soldiers, but Gonzalez firmly refused.

At this time, it was almost dawn, and someone sent a tent inside, and Gonzalez asked them to separate the two teams, one on one side of the exercise ground, and the other on the other side of the exercise ground.

The Spanish soldiers evacuated the barracks one after another, and escorted Bee Suga Xiaoliu and Zhang Gou'er into the command post, Gonzalez sat on the chair with a tired face, Li Dan was also tired, and stood there quietly and dozed off, and the Bee Suga Xiaoliu, who was tied with his hands, roared like thunder, stomped his feet and scolded Zhang Gou'er, Zhang Gou'er was also controlled by the Spanish soldiers, and tried his best to avoid Bee Suga Xiaoliu......

After dawn, General Fernando's messenger came again, and Gonzalez received a secret order, and now it has been confirmed that Lin Feng's gang has not left Luzon, so the information from the Japanese Federation is false, and it is necessary to wipe out all these so-called Japanese reinforcements, along with the Ryukyu soldiers, in the Vito Cruz military camp, and not a single one will be left!

Wasuka Koroku was tired, and through Li Dan's translation, he asked to see Archbishop Perez, but Gonzalez ignored him.

After a while, another messenger from General Fernando arrived, telling Gonzalez that the Hound Team had found Lin Feng's village, and that the "psychic" had accurate information, so General Fernando demanded strict protection for the psychic.

Gonzalez's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately sent someone to take Zhang Gou'er and Bee Suga Xiaoliu away, separate them into custody, and then took Li Dan to the barracks to find Li Ruiqi.

Gonzalez sent people to search the barracks, and even checked the charred corpses in the barracks, but he still didn't find Li Ruiqi, his face changed color in fright, and he was very nervous, and wanted to send someone to look for it outside the barracks, but after all, there were only about 50 Spanish soldiers, and he had to be wary of the Japanese ronin in the barracks, which made Gonzalez feel very tricky.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Dan gave Gonzalez an idea that it would be better to send those Ryukyu soldiers out to look for them, and save them from fighting with the Japanese for a while.

Gonzalez sent someone to escort Zhang Gou'er over, admonished him, and asked him to send his men outside to find Li Ruiqi, whether they were found or not, the Ryukyu soldiers must return to the barracks before dark, and if anyone did not return, Zhang Gou'er would be court-martialed.

Zhang Gou'er breathed a long sigh of relief, and immediately agreed, accompanied by Li Dan to meet his soldiers, after a battle last night, he cleaned up the number of people, more than 100 people were killed in the battle, and nearly 60 people were disabled, and there were only about 30 people who could run out to find people.

Give the disabled soldiers to Li Dan, ask Gonzalez to treat them, and release the thirty people to find Li Ruiqi.

The Japanese ronin, who were setting up tents, saw that the Ryukyu soldiers were gone, and fearing that something would happen, so they all put down their work and rushed to the gate of the barracks to meet their commander, and Gonzalez had to call out Koroku Beesuka.

At this time, Wasuka Koroku had been loosened, but was still guarded by two Spanish soldiers, Gonzalez told them through Li Dan that because it was Sunday, Archbishop Perez could not come, and he would send someone to escort Wasuka Koroku and the interpreter Li Dan to the Manila Cathedral, and said that he would punish the Ryukyu soldiers and their generals severely, so as to calm the anger of the Japanese ronin.

Bee Suga Xiaoliu took it seriously, came up and grabbed Li Dan, and asked him to accompany him to see Archbishop Perez, Li Dan couldn't dodge, and was controlled by Bee Suga Xiaoliu, looking at the posture, if Li Dan didn't agree, he could immediately strangle Li Dan to death.

Gonzalez threw a mouse trap, so he had to let Bee Suga Koroku control Li Dan, and Bee Suga Koroku asked to take Li Dan to Manila City immediately, and resolutely refused to let the Spanish soldiers accompany him, and after arguing with Gonzalez for a long time, the Japanese ronin began to be agitated again, and beat up the disabled Ryukyu soldiers at the door.

Zhang Gou'er took the opportunity to beg Gonzalez to let the wounded soldiers out, but Gonzalez was afraid that the fight would not end again, so he let the disabled Ryukyu soldiers out of the barracks.

Bee Suga Xiaoliu asked for a rope, tied Li Dan's hands, and asked for Gonzalez's command knife, Gonzalez felt that he was a little too much, and just wanted to refuse Bee Suga Koroku, the Japanese ronin began to try to storm the gate of the barracks again, if Gonzalez did not agree, they would rebel.

Gonzalez hurriedly ordered the musket team to get ready, and reluctantly handed the saber into the hands of Wasuka Koroku, thinking to himself, what is the use of you going to Manila alone? As long as you receive an order from General Fernando later, you can immediately destroy all these people in the barracks!

While Bee Suka Koroku hadn't left, those Japanese ronins asked Gonzalez for food again, and Gonzalez was forced to lose his temper by them, so he had to send someone to bring them dozens of packets of smoked fish, ham and other food.

Seeing that Wasuka Koroku was escorting Li Dan away, these Japanese ronins laughed and ate smoked fish, as if they had eaten and drunk enough, and just waited for the reinforcements to arrive, they could rush out of the barracks, grab these Spaniards' weapons, and immediately enter Manila City......
