Mitsui Ryuichi was taken aback by the Chinese fleet that suddenly drove to the dock, he was so frightened that his face turned white. Because each of the ten warships of the Fu Han Army carried more large cylinders than the entire town of Omarari. So when the Chinese sent an envoy, he received him very respectfully. But then, his fear turned to anger. Mitsui Ryu rushed into the head with blood, the roots of his ears were red, his eyes stared at the Chinese in front of him, and his hand unconsciously held the handle of the knife at his waist.

Mitsui's eyes brightened as there was a fire of containment burning there.

"This is the land of Japan, and whoever wants to take it has to step on me."

"Get out of Omari Town, you're not welcome here!"

Mitsui Ryuichi's very 'backbone' speech greatly inspired the surrounding Japanese, and the people were outraged, "Get out of here, Chinese......"

"Get out ......"

The invective reached the ears of the Chinese envoys, which showed that no matter how small a country is, it is still dignified, especially Japan, a country that has 'severed diplomatic relations' with China for one or two hundred years. Laiso still had a high pride on his face, not in the slightest irritated by the performance of the Japanese, and continued to look at Mitsui Ryuichi with a look of pity. It seems that Ryuichi Mitsui's performance is just a child and playing, and it doesn't make him angry at all.

It's true that the people who came weren't angry, and when the elephant saw the ants challenging him, he would just feel funny, so he wouldn't be angry.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The 'negotiations' broke down and the war began immediately. The shelling began, and from the Japanese artillery came the uncontrollable fury of the enraged Japanese. And just as the envoy was returning to the Chinese fleet, several Japanese ships in the harbor also raised their sails, pulled up their iron anchors, and prepared to flee. But how is this possible?

Although several small-caliber guns in Omarari were the first to start bombarding, and some brave archers and iron artillerymen also stood on the pier and fired at the Chinese ships, it was destined to be full of desperation. The distance was so far that all their shots fell into the sea, and there was no effect on them except to cheer up the Japanese at the pier and make them howl even more excited. Moreover, the Japanese who did so were also burdened with the fault of 'firing first'.

The naval division troops did not pay any attention to the Japanese fire coming at them, and the gunners on the ten warships, under the orders of the commanders of the guns, calmly and boldly launched a counterattack. The opponent's attack can't hit you at all?

Before entering the sea area of Omari Town, they tore off the gun jacket covering the gun, and now it is time to adjust the angle of the gun, charge, and reload.

A fleet of ten shuttle ships and thunder ships is not worth mentioning in the Western world, but if it is placed in Japan, on the weak Matsumae Domain, and on the even weaker Omarari Town, it will be a catastrophe.

Dozens of thunderbolts rang out, and shells hit Japanese ships and docks.

The wood was as fragile as tissue paper under the bombardment of iron bullets, and three five-pound shells hit the side of the same Japanese ship, and the whole side of the ship was about to rot, causing the Japanese on board to scream in despair.

There is no suspense in such a battle. Luo Daliang had already instructed him to see if he could take the two Japanese merchant ships in the port alive and not sink them, because there must be a lot of Sakhalin native goods in this ship.

But the fact is that he did not need to give orders at all, and the two Japanese merchant ships did not have the toughness of Mitsui Ryuichi, and as soon as they saw that the momentum was not good, they immediately lowered their sails and put on a posture of surrender. Then the ten warships and sixty or seventy guns were all concentrated in Omarari Town, and it took only two rounds, and the Japanese gathered on the pier called out to the crying father and mother, and all the rest were holding their heads and running away.

One by one, the dinghy was lowered from the ten ships, and a group of sailors with muskets came ashore. All the Japanese who had not escaped from the docks were captured and put under strict guard.

There was a loud "boom".

The dilapidated wooden door of the tax office was shattered in an instant, and grenades were thrown into it.

Mitsui Ryuichi held the katana, and the Matsumae clan and the samurai of Omari Town, which he could still control, were huddled in the most sturdy tax office, and they also consciously erected tables, tatami mats, etc., blocking them four or five meters from the gate, so the gate was blown up, but the people inside were not injured. When the gate was blown open by a grenade, and the smoke still covered the doorway, Mitsui Ryuichi howled like a wolf, beckoning everyone to raise their katana and rush to the door. As a result, he was greeted not by soldiers disembarking from Chinese warships, but by another wave of grenades.

Kato saw Mitsui's body fly up, and then when the smoke of gunpowder did not disperse, a row of iron cannons sounded at the door, and then Aoki, who was beside him, instantly exploded his head. Blood and brains splattered all over his face, and the surviving ashigaru suddenly scattered.

But the whole tax office is so big, two stories high, and there is a row of warehouses in the backyard, where can they escape to?

Jiro Kato's katana didn't know where he had lost it, and he didn't have the intention of resisting in his head, he just wanted to get up and run away, but a tall Chinese sailor picked up the butt of his gun and smashed it in his face, and then he didn't know anything.

When Jiro Kato woke up, he found that he had been locked in a warehouse, his face was bruised and swollen, and he opened his mouth in pain. Carefully looking around, there were already people sitting around, all of them had their weapons confiscated, and many of them had blue noses and swollen faces like themselves.

There were also people with blood splattered on their bodies and wounds, Jiro Kato looked at those people with a solemn expression, in the face of such a powerful enemy, whether these people killed or injured the enemy, they were all brave.

He wanted to stand up, but he didn't dare, because everyone was sitting on the ground.

Jiro Kato despised his cowardice psychologically, but he didn't dare to stand up after all.

With a "bang", the heavy warehouse door was pushed open, and several tall Chinese walked in, and they brought more than a dozen people, all merchants and civilians in the city's Da Po Town, looking at their panicked appearance, they must have been frightened.

A merchant, whose name was Tanaka Tsuka, was kicked in the chest by a Chinese sailor next to him just because he was a little slower to step back. The former is a giant, and in Japan there are very few people of such stature. Tanaka Tsuka, who was short in stature, flew up and knocked down the wall one step away, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and the person fainted. This is too barbaric and unreasonable, Jiro Kato knows Tanakazuka, there are not many businessmen in the small town of Otachi, although Tanakazuka is a stingy and despicable bastard, but at this moment, Jiro Kato still feels sorry for him, it's too ......

There was silence in the warehouse, and a few Chinese soldiers glanced coldly at all the Japanese, and no one dared to look at them. Everyone, including Jiro Kato, bowed their heads. The Chinese soldiers snorted in satisfaction, then turned and walked out. The heavy closing of the door made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and only then did someone start crying quietly.

It was already getting dark, and night was coming. The Chinese sailors who occupied the town of Omachi put a bucket of water in every warehouse where the male Japanese were imprisoned, and did not give a grain of food. It's very preferential for women. All the Japanese spent the day in horror.

The town of Omachi was the heart of the Japanese on South Sakhalin, and when it was taken here, the Japanese foundation on Sakhalin was broken. It's like the fleet went all the way north from Japan, and successively cleaned up the old Maozi in Kunashir Island, Zeyu Island, Defu Island and other places, and caught more than 200 people before and after, which is not counting the killings.

These people were also brought to Sakhalin, but they were treated worse than the Japanese. Not only was there no food, but everyone was shackled.

These old hairy people are much stronger in size and physique than the Chinese people, and compared with the Japanese in this era, they are all giants.

It was dawn, and when Jiro Kato and the others were pulled out, they saw at a glance the Russians who were burying their heads in tidying up the docks.

"Oh, yes. It must be the Dew on the Kuril Islands. Kato thought about it for a moment and immediately understood. The Chinese have all killed Taihua by sea, so the Lu people along the way must have been swept away by them, after all, the most direct reason why the Chinese appeared in Ezo was because of Lucia.

Kato looked at the Russian, who looked like a pure coolie, and a smile appeared in his eyes. Unlucky people will only feel a little happy when they see others unlucky with them.

But what happened then made Jiro Kato and everyone else confused.

All the Japanese gathered on the docks, and then they heard a man dressed as a Chinese soldier say to them in a Japanese dialect with the smell of Edo: "Now you will find your relatives at once, and the officials will be on the left and the people on the right, and the natives will be in the middle." Do everything in a quarter of an hour, and those who overstep the time will be severely punished. ”

A low cheer rang out on the docks. Although I don't know what to face next, it's a good thing that Chinese allow their families to be together.

"All Japanese people will be sent back to Hakodate in Matsumae Domain. We will give Matsumae Michihiro 15,000 silver dollars as compensation for the incident in Omari Town, as well as compensation for the dead and wounded. And you'd better estimate what you've lost, and go back to Hakodate to find the Matsumae Domain. The voice continued to speak, and then all the Japanese listened to it as if they had heard the sound of God!

Tang Gongliang looked at the Japanese in front of him proudly, do you say that Mitsui Ryu is not brainless? Ten warships have bulldozed Hakodate, and everyone dares to go back and forth in Edo Bay, and the small Omarari town is a bird? dared to resist hard, it was really a wooden head.

Moreover, the imperial court even prepared a compensation fee of up to 30,000 silver dollars, which was used so high, for Tang Gongliang, 10,000 yuan was enough. Give 15,000 yuan to the Matsumae Domain, and the absolute benevolence and righteousness of the little devil are exhausted.

Of course, Tang Gongliang, who has an identity, doesn't know the plans of the high-level. Luo Daliang knew that the current Fuhan army had entered Hokkaido and Sakhalin under the pretext of dealing with the Russians, and had not yet officially started a war with Japan. And what is a mere fifteen thousand silver dollars? If this money can buy a good reputation of the Han army in Japan, it will definitely be worth it.

Now they have paid this fifteen thousand silver dollars, which is to show China's 'above board' attitude, and in addition, this battle was first fired by Mitsui Ryuichi, and after the matter spreads, this public opinion will not be one-sided even in Japan. That's enough.

In Yang Shijin's words, giving 15,000 silver dollars now is to get back a hundredfold or a thousandfold benefit in the future.

Forty-one-year-old Lavrov is the thinnest of the Russians, an Eastern priest who can ride a horse, shoot a gun, and even chop people with a knife, but he will never do heavy physical work.

The status of the Eastern Church in Tsarist Russia was very high, at least higher than that of Protestantism in England. As a branch of monotheism, Eastern priests and priests accompanied the Russians as they moved eastward, and were frequently active in Siberia for more than 100 years.

Lavrov was the priest on Defu Island, who had more than 40 Russians who resisted when the Fu Han army seized Defu Island. The result, of course, is to hit the stone with an egg. Seven of the more than forty Russians were killed, and all the rest were taken prisoner, including Father Lavrov, an Eastern priest who had only been on the island for less than a year.

Few people knew that Lavrov could speak Japanese. So he could understand Tang Gongliang's words, and his eyes naturally showed an irrepressible look of envy. "These dwarfs can go home, and the Chinese have also given compensation, they are really lucky." Merciful Father, ask your blessing to let the Chinese return to Russia. ”

When the Russians occupied Kamchatka, the Cossacks, among an indigenous tribe on the banks of the Izia River, discovered a storm on the way from Osaka, Japan, to Edo, and drifted here along the current, and was rescued by the indigenous people, and sent him to Moscow in 1701. Soon Tsar Peter I summoned the Messenger and received a little information about Japan. Peter I ordered Denbei to learn Russian, and asked Denbei to teach Japanese to the Russians. By 1710, Peter I ordered Bunbei to be baptized as an Orthodox Christian, and changed his name to "Gavriel". Peter I also opened a Japanese language school with Denbei. In addition, with the increasing exchange between Lao Maozi and Japan, the scale and staff of the Japanese language school are also increasing. It was there that Lavrov studied Japanese and learned some specious Japanese culture.

"Smack!" A whip was whipped on Lavrov's back, and it didn't hurt much. Lavrov was dressed in a thick winter coat, and the waters off Sakhalin had thawed in mid-March, but the temperature was still very low.

"Hurry up and get to work." Lavrov was agitated for a moment, and he could no longer envy the Japanese, so he bowed his head and went to work. They were going to clean and repair the docks as fast as they could, and a large number of Marines and immigrants were about to arrive.

Hakodate at the moment. Michihiro Matsumae is painful and happily enjoying everything he is doing so far. The Chinese used fine silk, porcelain, high-end luxury ornaments, and real money to buy grain from the Matsuzen clan in large quantities.

During this time, Matsumae Michihiro was constantly worried about the rapidly growing population of 'Beihai', the place occupied by the Chinese in Ishikari Bay, which they named 'Beihai'.

The Chinese not only migrated a large number of people from their own country, but also brought more people from North Korea, and the population of that Beihai is infinitely close to 20,000, or where it has exceeded 20,000.

Whenever he thinks about this problem, Michihiro Matsuzen can't help but have a headache. However, Matsumae Domain's private trade with China and the huge profits made him reluctant to give up. The silver of the white flowers continued to flow into the debt-ridden Matsumae Domain, and now Matsumae Michihiro wants to close the source of wealth valve with his own hands, which is more difficult than killing him.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong...... "Ichiro Qiu Ye's panicked shouts rang out outside the room. (To be continued.) )
