When the red sun hung high in the sky, the two troop carriers anchored outside the bay also puffed up their sails and sailed towards the boundless sea. Chen Jiasheng, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", and a group of Ming soldiers stood at the bow of the boat, watching the billowing smoke on Simelu Island and smelling the sea breeze mixed with gunsmoke and the smell of blood. His face showed indescribable sadness and sorrow.

Although they captured the troop carrier, they still paid for it with dozens of lives. These are the brothers who have been with them day and night, and they have passed away like this. The pain in my heart is really indescribable.

And that's only on board! It is estimated that none of the brothers on Simeru Island will be able to come back alive. So they took the risk and had the troop carrier go around the island. The remaining ammunition in the cabin was shot out without reservation.

Although he didn't kill many British soldiers, the anger in his heart was finally vented. It can be regarded as recovering a little interest for those brothers who have been sleeping underground for a long time.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiasheng turned around and came to the other side of the boat. Looking at the vast sea, he was very firm in his heart. In any case, he had to move back to the rescuers and avenge them for the knife neck.

I only hope that the knife neck of Izumishita can feel his mind.

But in fact, it is impossible for the knife neck to feel his heart at all. Because at the moment, the knife neck is lying in the cannon fire without knowing whether it is alive or dead. And beside him, there were Ming soldiers wearing British military uniforms who had been shot in the body.

They had stolen the clothes from the tents of the British army. Before leaving, he didn't forget to kill people and set fires, and make a big fuss. It wasn't until five British barracks were destroyed in succession that the large British troops who had been searching for them were attracted to them.

Later, the British army used Indian mercenaries as cannon fodder, and besieged them in a garrison at the cost of human lives. Make the knife neck them, helpless to lose.

At the moment, Indian mercenaries wearing big hats were piling up corpses under the supervision of the British army at home. Then pour oil on it, rub it, and burn it to ashes. But when he raised the neck of the knife, the Indian soldier, when he found the neck of the knife, let out an unconscious muffled snort, as if he was alive.

Immediately overjoyed, they reported this to the British troops who were overseeing them.

No wonder they're so positive! After all, the Ming army advocated that it would rather be broken than broken, which made it difficult for the British army to catch the live Ming army after so many days of fighting. Even those who were caught by luck tried their best to kill themselves.

Now that it is difficult to find a living one, the British army is naturally very happy. Even the Indian soldiers who found the neck of the knife also got the opportunity to be promoted to the top of the class in India.

It's just that these things, Chen Jiasheng and them, are still in the dark.

So after more than five days of sailing, with a heart of revenge, they finally returned to the Greater Nicobar Islands. But before they could explain the situation, they got even more shocking news. That is, the British army, which had formed a formation with the Second Marine Division, engaged in a fierce naval battle off the coast of Aceh on the island of Sumatra.

As for Aceh, it was originally a country name. The territory is equal to the town of North Sumatra, which was controlled by the Ming Dynasty. It was probably in the early 16th century that it developed into a **** state of Mu Si Lin. Located at the mouth of the Straits of Malacca, it has evolved into a trading center along the Malay Archipelago due to its geographical advantages.

By the time the Netherlands set foot in Sumatra, Aceh had declined, but due to the conflict between the Netherlands and the British, it still maintained its independence. Later, when the Ming came, the Sultan of Aceh also united with the Dutch to rebel against the Ming. As a result, the Sultan was captured and the Aceh nation was destroyed.

The word 'Aceh' has also been downgraded from the name of the country to the name of the city. The Acehnese who originally believed in the religion of I.S. Lan were all sent to the three major provinces of Anbei, Andong and Annam. A small number of Han, Vietnamese, Malay, and Javanese migrated in through population replacement.

It's just that it is still sparsely populated, and the huge city of Aceh has a population of no more than 30,000.

It was precisely because of the scarcity of Aceh's population that the British army came straight to Aceh. Although they also know that the city of Aceh has a lot of Ming troops stationed. But the British army was also numerous and powerful. There were thirty-four new warships alone. There are as many as 200 old-style sailboats. It is said that in order to gather enough warships, the Indian colonies were levied free of charge by the Indian Viceroy on the grounds of military necessity.

The formation of the 2nd Marine Division, which received the alarm, rushed over as soon as possible. This was two days ago, counting the days, it should be a fight now.

Hearing the news, Chen Jiasheng and the others were instantly shocked.

If the British army attacked Aceh openly, what about the British army on the island of Simelu? Could it be that the British army wanted to divide the troops into two ways and catch Daming off guard?

They couldn't think of the military planning in this. The captain, who had woken up, couldn't care less about being angry with Chen Jiasheng. Immediately ordered the crew to set sail for Aceh. I want to report the matter of Simeru Island to the Supreme Commander - Ou Ziwen as soon as possible.

Although the message is transmitted through the flying pigeons, it is obviously much faster than them. But now it's wartime, and there is a lot of uncertainty about flying pigeons sending messages. So if you think about it, it's best to run it yourself. And if you go early, you can also help. Don't look at the fact that they only have two ships, but they are both old warships that can still fight. Either way, it can make a difference.

Maybe it can surprise and bring surprises.

In this way, the group set foot on land not long ago. But he returned to the ship, and rushed to the city of Aceh.

During this period, Lan Fangguo's envoy ship also came to the port of Tagou in Taiwan Bay.

The weather was clear at the right time, which seemed to indicate that there would be a beautiful evening. And now, according to the Ming calendar, it is the end of June. Tropical storms in the South China Sea are also becoming more prevalent. Therefore, such good weather is precious.

Since they had greeted in advance, the envoy fleet led by Jiang Wulin. Soon after docking at Dagou Port, the local Qing officials brought people over to greet them. Under the guidance of the ferryman, the messenger boat slowly crossed the bay.

When you get to the shore, you will see boats and villages, compactly arranged together. Some of them were boats, placed under large trees. Some boats are leaning against the rocks, supported by wooden pillars underneath. There are also some families who seem to be relatively wealthy, and they have wooden stakes embedded in the ground, and another layer is added on top of each other. The house is surrounded by wooden planks and covered with straw or cane stems. And in the four corners of the house, make pillars out of four bamboos.

This arrangement is done to leave enough space between the bamboo and the planks. So that the room is more ventilated and breathable.

A cave-like house like this usually only fits five or six people. Europeans, on the other hand, are estimated to be able to squeeze in at most two people.

At this moment, some children with horns, bare farts, stocks, eggs, and children, black and white, are running all over the ground. The innocent appearance and laughter added a little joy to the humble houseboat. (To be continued.) )
