Chapter 713: Letter to the Nation
The vast sea. A piece of blue, under the sea breeze, the sea surface Lang flowers are stacked, it is very beautiful.
One by one, the warships slashed at the waves and moved forward quickly.
This fleet is a battleship under Li Zhen's command. Li Zhen stood at the bow of the flagship, facing the sea breeze, looked at Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guofan and others standing next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Leaving from the Penghu Islands, and then heading to Kaohsiung, we did not encounter any resistance, and sailed smoothly. I estimate that when you enter the port, you may encounter fierce resistance, so you have to be prepared. ”
Zuo Zongtang said: "I predict that the Americans want to fight us on the island, but their land strength encountering us is like an egg hitting a stone, and we will definitely be defeated." ”
Zeng Guofan pondered, thinking about Li Zhen's words in his heart.
The three of them had a detailed discussion on the current problems. The time of the sea voyage passed quickly, and it was in Kaohsiung Port in a flash. Entering Kaohsiung Port, Li Zhen's army still did not encounter resistance, as if the US army had completely given up resistance. In such a situation, Li Zhen knew that the US military must have a backhand, otherwise it would not have used such means.
Li Zhen sneered in his heart, and he didn't care about the actions of the US military.
Prior to this, after some discussion with Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan, he had already expected various situations to arise, and he had already made preparations, so Li Zhen stopped and set up camp on the shore, built high bases, and dug trenches, looking like he had been stationed for a long time.
In the camp tent, Li Zhen successively met with Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang to arrange tasks.
Then, Li Zhen did not move and stayed on the shore of the port.
……
Kaohsiung County, where U.S. troops are stationed in a barracks.
When Ecente received the news that Li Zhen's army was stationed, he was extremely uneasy. He believed that Chairman Li Zhen had driven a direct attack on Kaohsiung, but Li Zhen stopped advancing, making the strategy discussed between Ecente and his generals useless.
Ecente gathered his generals and gathered together to discuss countermeasures against Li Zhen again.
Ecente said with a serious expression: "Gentlemen, Li Zhen is very cunning and did not drive straight in as we expected, causing the ambush we laid to be useless. Now, you have to adjust your strategy immediately, what do you think? ”
"Marshal, when the countermeasures were discussed, I suggested taking the initiative. However, you insisted on arranging ambushes and wanted to ambush Li Zhen. Now that Li Zhen is holding his troops and the ambush is useless, you ask about the idea of attacking Li Zhen, isn't it a waste of time for Lang. In my opinion, it is most appropriate to take the initiative. A lieutenant general spoke.
Li Zhen said: "Tell me what you think specifically? ”
The lieutenant general held his head high and said loudly: "I recently read a Chinese book and saw a strategy. Historically, some Chinese politicians have arrested the enemy's people and used them to rush at the enemy. I thought about it, we could arrest the people of Kaohsiung and let the soldiers force them to go to Kaohsiung Port and attack Li Zhen's army. If Li Zhen couldn't bear to kill the people, then he would definitely be defeated. If Li Zhen kills the people, hehe, Li Zhen will definitely lose the hearts of the people, and hundreds of people will spit on him, what do you think? ”
With these words, Ecent's face changed drastically.
Such a method is too ruthless!
The lieutenant general was not ashamed and continued to say proudly: "The British army and the French army did not attack the Manchu Qing, but the British army had India, France and the Nguyen Dynasty and other places. However, what do we have? Nothing. Taiwan is our first foothold, so we cannot afford to fail. The marshal can't bear it, so let me be the bad guy, for the sake of the United States, I will have no hesitation. ”
"I'll do it!"
Ecente nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "Everything, for the country!" ”
Next, Excente immediately executed the order.
In three days, Ecente arrested 3,000 people, including men in the prime of life, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, as well as those who dragged their families, and the situation was very chaotic. In the county seat of Kaohsiung County, ordinary people were chased by the US military. Whoever stops will be greeted by whips and bullets. However, the U.S. military was indifferent, and some of the soldiers were very excited and kept waving their whips in their hands.
"Yellow people are so useless, a bunch of idiots!"
"We whites are the best race, and the yellow race can only be the object of our enslavement. What is Li Zhen's name, he will definitely be defeated by the marshal and become our defeated general. ”
"You are all coarse people, and you have no conscience at all. The yellow race is inferior, but their women are really as gentle as water. Especially when you hold it in your arms, not to mention that feeling, you will never forget it for the rest of your life. If I wasn't afraid of the women at home, I would definitely take a woman back to raise her and love her well. ”
…………
The U.S. soldiers were giggling and talking to each other, looking very casual. In the eyes of the US soldiers, the lives of the people in Kaohsiung County, Taiwan, are worthless, and they do not care about them at all. At this moment, the people are staggering, and after leaving the county seat, they continue to walk forward, heading towards Kaohsiung Port.
On the shore of the port, in the army.
After Li Zhen was arrested by the people of Kaohsiung, his hatred was already monstrous. Li Zhen did not expect that the US military would do such a cruel and inhumane thing, which has touched Li Zhen's bottom line. In the big tent, Li Zhen said: "The US military killed our people and kidnapped my brother, and there was no humanitarianism. Zheng Zaoru, you are going to issue a notice to convey my words. ”
Zheng Zaoru said: "Please show the prince!" ”
Li Zhen said coldly: "The battle between the US army and our army is a clash between two armies, and they harm the people, this should not and cannot be." The US military has abducted the people of Taiwan Province and has not taken the lives of the people in their eyes without regard for them, which is not the bearing that a big country should have. People respect me for a foot, I respect people, if people attack me, I will also return the fiercest counterattack. ”
Zheng Zaoru blinked, thinking that a lot of Li Zhen's words were nonsense.
Li Zhen continued: "From now on, no Americans will be accepted on our soil. Any American who dares to enter the territory of our country will be killed. ”
Smith's expression turned pale when he heard this.
He followed Li Zhen for several years, but at the end of the day, he was also an American.
Li Zhen's eyes were cold, and he continued: "U.S. Marshal Ecente can be inhumane, but I can't do something like that. Therefore, I have given one month to prepare, and within this month, all Americans who remain in China must withdraw from China's borders. I will not be polite to the Americans who will remain in China in a month's time. ”
When Smith heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, those who stayed still had plenty of time to leave.
Li Zhen said: "In addition, I have to announce a piece of news. From this day forward, I will fight back with the fiercest counterattack against the people of my country against the enemy who is engaged in the battle with the army under the command of this king. Anyone who is our citizen should not be bullied by the army of any country, no one, not any country. If you kill my people, I will slaughter your people. ”
When Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang heard this, a sense of pride arose in their hearts.
Country, this is the value of the country's existence! Protect the people and become the umbrella of the people. Zheng Zaoru left quickly and conveyed Li Zhen's order.
In one day, the news spread all over Kaohsiung County.
