Chapter 34: The Bombardment of the Station

After about a quarter of an hour's effort, Yan Xia brought two heavy artillery pieces with his guards.

The two guns were manufactured by Hainan's own arsenal, which was an imitation of the British Armstrong 12-inch 800-pounder rear-loading gun.

Its gun body is 35 feet long, 36 lines of repetition, 800 pounds of ammunition, 300 pounds of maroon medicine cake inside, 200 pounds of single-hole black medicine cake, 50 tons of gun body, the maximum range of 10,000 yards, within 1,000 yards, can penetrate 19 inches thick iron targets.

Chen Zhong ordered Yan Xia to bring such two heavy cannons, if a few shells were fired into this small post station, I believe that the Far East post station would be razed to the ground in an instant.

At this time, Chen Chuwang, the king of Hainan, also got the message, he was worried that in dealing with this matter, the little prince was still very young and inexperienced, so he personally led the guards of the palace and asked them to carry him over in a sedan chair.

For a while, Zhou Zhiguang, Xiao Yang and Li Chuang also rushed to the Far East Post Station with Chen Chuwang.

When they saw the little prince, they set up two heavy cannons outside the door of the Far East Post Station, and they were surprised! Everyone knows that if this cannon continues, the Far East Post Station will basically disappear.

Zhang Tong immediately drove his horse to the little prince's side and said, "Little prince, slow down a little, the prince is here, see what the prince says, and then make a decision!" ”

However, Zhang Yaru, who was standing next to her, was reluctant and shouted loudly: "Chen Hainan, hurry up!" Blow up these brutes! Chen Hainan, hurry up! ”

Zhang Tong glared at his daughter and said, "Ruru, don't make trouble!" This is not child's play! ”

"Which one is making trouble! Just you old guys, cowardly and afraid, these bad guys have been bullied to the doorstep, and you have to discuss with them! What is there to discuss, blood debt and blood repayment! It was because of sleek and conservative people like you that the Great Qing Kingdom was bullied by the great powers! Zhang Yaru looked at her father Zhang Tong angrily.

Zhang Tong was actually speechless by his wayward daughter, she said it was all the truth!

"Ruru, don't talk to General Zhang like this, General Zhang is also a soldier in Hainan! He also has a point. Chen Zhong stopped Zhang Yaru, then turned to Zhang Tong and came to Chen Chuwang with him.

"Father." Chen Zhong dismounted and came to Chen Chuwang's face.

"Zhong'er, your wedding was made like this, are you unhappy?" Chen Chuwang looked at his son distressedly.

"Father, do you think I'm just on the spur of the moment? These hateful Japanese have ruined my wedding and killed so many of my brothers, if I don't kill these brutes, how can I explain to my soldiers?! How else can we explain to the people of Hainan?! What face do we have to enjoy the glory in Hainan! Chen Zhong was obviously a little excited.

Chen Chuwang looked at his son carefully, a smile with imperceptible meaning crossed his face, and said: "Zhong'er, my father didn't mean to blame you, since you think about it, of course you can do it, you are the prince of Hainan in the future, you have the right to decide these things." ”

Chen Zhong looked at the king of Hainan in surprise, he could tell that his father did not blame him, and there was a slight encouragement in his tone.

At this time, Li Chuang, the commander of the Fourth Army, came to Chen Chuwang and said, "Lord Wang, I think it's better to wait and see why these guys want to assassinate Little Wangye." If there are inner ghosts, we can also find out these beasts! ”

Zhou Zhiguang also came to Chen Chuwang and said, "Lord Wang, I don't think there is any need to wait any longer, fight two shots to solve the problem, and talk to them about what plates!" ”

Zhou Zhiguang knew that if the little prince impulsively blew up this Far East Post Station at this moment, those secrets with Yamamoto Xichuan would disappear into the air forever with a burst of gunpowder smoke and would not be revealed! So, of course, he wanted to make these guys disappear immediately.

"Lord, I think I still have to think twice, if it is only for a moment, and put Hainan on the cusp, attract the dissatisfaction of the Japanese and the Qing court, and then encircle and suppress my Hainan, at that time, my Hainan will be in danger, please consider it more." The commander of the Second Army, Xiao Yang, said.

"Yes, Lord Wang, what General Xiao said is not unreasonable, this matter must be handled carefully." Zhang Tong glanced at Zhou Zhiguang and said.

Zhou Zhiguang was a little emotional at the moment, and said, "When did you become like this!" Everyone has hit the door, and we are still chewing our tongues here for whether to kill them or not, what about the blood of your prancing horse with a gun back then? I think the little prince did the right thing, fuck it, blow them up! ”

Zhou Zhiguang glanced at Shen Juncai on the stretcher, he seemed to have a premonition, he knew that some things might have been revealed, but he was not sure at the moment.

He was observing Chen Zhong's movements, and it seemed to him that Chen Zhong had not seen through their conspiracy. However, he was also ready to break the net, and last night he had secretly transferred the two garrison regiments stationed outside the city into the city, and the troops outside the city had also made careful arrangements and could start an incident at any time.

However, Yamamoto Nishikawa missed the assassination again, and because Chen Zhong and Zhang Tong were currently gaining momentum in the Hainan army, Zhou Zhiguang believed that the timing of the mutiny was too small in the current situation. Therefore, he is watching, waiting for the moment.

Zhou Zhiguang knows that the biggest crisis now is that Yamamoto Nishikawa and Matsui are still alive, and if the conspiracy between them is revealed, then he will not have any room for maneuver.

"Alright, alright! What you say makes sense, we are all old, and I think the future of Hainan should be handled by these younger generations. Chen Chuwang pointed to the neatly lined guards.

"Lord Wang, you have to be cautious about this!" Li Chuang was a little impatient.

Chen Chuwang raised his hand and motioned for Li Chuang to stop talking, then looked at Chen Zhong and said, "Zhong'er, you can decide for yourself." ”

Chen Zhong knew that his father was hinting to Zhou Zhiguang that his son was the undoubted leader of Hainan in the future.

So, Chen Zhong returned to the front of the guards and ordered the gunners: "Adjust the distance, determine the target, and load the shells!" Everyone quickly stepped back! ”

At this time, the Far East Post Station had already heard the movement outside, and the sentry on the lookout reported the situation outside the post station to Yamamoto Nishikawa.

Yamamoto Nishikawa scolded: "Yaga! Zhou Sang's conscience is big, it's broken, it's broken! Not only did he not send troops to help us, but he also demanded that we be eliminated, damn it! ”

Outside the Far East Station, the two heavy guns have adjusted the distance and target, and the huge heavy shells have been pushed onto the barrel, and several gunners just wait for the order of the little prince, and these two 800-pound shells will instantly smash into the courtyard of the Far East Station, at that time, it is conceivable that everything in the Far East Station will turn into dust in a blink of an eye.

Everyone was waiting for the order that the little prince was about to issue, so that these two shells could completely destroy the Japanese devils like Yamamoto Nishikawa and avenge the dead soldiers.

The commanders of the four major group armies standing behind the guards had even more complicated feelings, and if this cannon continued, perhaps the situation in Hainan would be completely changed.

Chen Zhong raised his hand and ordered loudly: "Gunners prepare!" Target Far East Station! Readyβ€”"
