Chapter 57: Liberation Camp
After the victory of the autumn hunt in Taipei, the third and fourth battalions took a short rest and started operations at the same time.
The fourth battalion is responsible for garrisoning the area around Taipei, a company is stationed in Taoyuan, instructor Qiu Feng is stationed in Taipei with a company, and the battalion commander Tan Huan personally leads a company to enter the Yilan Plain along the Caoling Ancient Road, quickly occupy the head encirclement, and the troops are in Yilan City.
In the early days, the Yilan Plain was an active area for the Pingpu Kamalan people, so it was called "Kamalan". During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sha led the people to the Lanyang Plain to arm the reclamation, and built the earth for the first time to besiege the city as the base area, so the head encirclement has the name of "the first city of Kailan".
Yilan City, formerly known as Wuwei, is the fifth stronghold established by Wu Sha and his armed reclamation in the Lanyang Plain, and is now the subordinate of the Kamalan Hall. The circumference of Yilan City is about three miles, 640 zhang long, 180 zhang from north to south, and the wall is six feet high. Ring nine xiong, so it is also called nine xiong city.
As soon as I heard that, all the men and horses of the Kamalan battalion were annihilated in the autumn hunt in Taipei. The Manchu Dynasty Touwei County Chengwang Qu and Touwei garrison Dong Chang Pan immediately led people to retreat to Yilan City.
The two discussed with Yang Chengze, the commander of Kamalan, that the Ming army might march towards Yilan at any time, and Yilan would naturally be unable to defend it, and the best way was to prepare a boat in Jialiyuan Port on the sea east of the city, and be ready to take refuge in Fuzhou by sea at any time.
Wang Qu was a native of Jingzhou, Gansu Province, and once traveled to XinjiΔng in 1831 and made contributions to the border pass. Twenty-three years have passed, and he is still just a small county prince, so he naturally does not want to sacrifice his life to serve the Qing Dynasty.
"This official has the responsibility to guard the land! How can you just walk away? Yang Chengze wanted to leave but didn't dare to go.
"My lord, it is our duty to defend the land, and I am not in a hurry to be brave." Wang Qu is naturally an old man, "The Taipei Rebellion, the incident happened suddenly, the Ming army broke out in an instant, attacking the city, these imperial courts are still unknown, let's take the seal letter, go to Fuzhou to report the news, let the imperial court make a decision early, this is meritorious." β
What Wang Qu and Dong Changpan didn't expect was that the Ming army moved very quickly before entering the Yilan Plain, and the troops were under the city of Yilan in half a day, and they had no time to retreat to the sea.
There are only Dong Changpan and more than 100 soldiers in Yilan City, and they can't hold it at all. Wang Qu and Dong Changpan directly opened the city gate, and coerced the Kamalan to sentence Yang Chengze and surrender to the Ming army.
The troops of the 3rd Battalion boarded a landing craft and headed south with four Haijing ships commanded by Ao Sayang, heading south to Da'an Port in central Taiwan.
In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Da'an Port was an important landing port for immigrants in central Taiwan, and trade was very developed. The Da'an Port Fort is equipped with 2 1,000 cannons and 2 200 cannons, which are guarded by 70 soldiers led by the general and 200 villagers with the Dajia patrol inspection.
Eight miles east of Da'an Port is Dajia Fort, Dajia Tucheng has 510 zhang circumference, set up four gates, the North Road Association Right Battalion in the Military Garrison Office, Dajia Patrol Inspection Office are all set up here.
However, before the arrival of the Ming army, Xia Jingzhi, the inspector of Dajia, had already run into Changhua City, and the Qing soldiers who stayed in Dajia Tucheng and Da'an Port also ran away. The Ming army captured Da'an Port in one fell swoop, took Dajia Tucheng, and expanded its power to the north bank of Dajia Creek.
Kohler, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, led two companies to garrison Dajia and establish a defensive line on the north bank of Dajia Creek. The port of Da'an is guarded by the Haijing team.
Sheko Island is a long sandbar with reeds on both sides of the river. After the victory of the Autumn Hunt in Taipei, the Ming army set up a prisoner camp at the end of Shezi Island near Guandu, and a field hospital at the end near Dadaocheng.
On the day the Ming army captured Monga, all the captives were held on the banks of the Tamsui River. One after another, the head was pushed bare-haired at the same time, the whole body was cleaned, and then it was a physical examination, and those with problems were sent to the field hospital, where they were put on orange prison uniforms with numbers printed on their backs, and imprisoned in the liberation camp.
One hundred and sixty prisoners were organized into a liberated squadron. The Ming army captured the big chicken coop and captured more than 40 Qing soldiers, all of whom are now squadron deputies, helping to manage each liberation squadron.
Each liberation squadron has a land area of about 800 square meters, all enclosed by barbed wire, and inside is a fast-built wooden plank house, including a squadron headquarters, eight standard dormitories for 20 people, and a conference room and dining room. Meals and meals are all provided by a unified logistics service center.
On the day of entering the camp, due to insufficient preparations, the logistics service center prepared white rice mixed with salted fish and fish sauce and shrimp paste for the prisoners. Unexpectedly, this "pig food-like thing" was actually considered by the captives to be a severed head meal, and a lot of sΔo movement occurred, and finally it returned to normal under the education of wooden sticks, rifle butts, and bayonet arrays. Later, in order to calm the mood of the prisoners, the logistics service center of the liberation camp prepared dried salted fish and porridge for three consecutive days.
The prisoner camp was named the Liberation Camp in order to use the weapon of mass destruction in ideological and political work to transform these prisoners into the basic force for the rejuvenation of China. Most of these captives were immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong, and most of them could not understand standard Chinese. In order to effectively change the situation of language barriers, the Shezidao Liberation Camp specially installed more than 10 poles, hung up loudspeakers, and broadcast Liu Lanfang's long commentary "The Biography of Yue Fei" every day.
On the first day of the camp, the captives were amazed from the beginning, where did the sound come from? He gradually became familiar and indifferent, and then gradually heard into Hong Kong, and some were slightly familiar with the Chinese, and they were completely addicted.
On the evening of December 5, when the gray sky had just shrouded the Tamsui River, the power generation equipment installed on Shezi Island had begun to work, and the steam engine drove the 250kW generator to rumble and fly, and the Liberation Camp of Shezi Island became brightly lit.
The last two fish balls stirred the last bit of rice in the bowl, and Liu Ahuo ate it in one bite. While listening to "The Biography of Yue Fei" with his ears pricked up, he stood up contentedly and walked out of the dining hall.
Liu Ahuo belonged to the Second Liberation Squadron, and the number on his chest was 2-023, and the prisoner number of the Second Liberation Squadron ranged from 2-001 to 2-160. Liu Ahuo was originally a Luohan foot in Menghua Street, Miaoli, and the whole family was not hungry when he was fed. He coveted the three pieces of silver given by the village, became a village warrior, and finally became a prisoner of the Ming army.
Since they entered the liberation camp, every day has been heavy physical labor, first building the prisoner camp, and then using stones to build the embankments of the Tamsui River and Keelung River, and interspersing the prisoner interrogation registration in addition to labor. In the evening, it is political education that cannot be shaken.
Although the liberated camp was a little bitter, fortunately, the food was good, and they were full of one and three meals. The first three days of camp were sticky porridge and large chunks of salted fish. Nowadays, every day is two dry and one thin, shrimp paste, salted fish pieces and large bowls of fish balls, as well as jingcai's storytelling to listen to. Liu Ahuo couldn't understand a word of standard Chinese at first, but now he can even understand more than half of it, and he is quite satisfied with the life in this prisoner camp.
To the east of the second squadron is the galloping Keelung River, and after dinner, the prisoners sat in front of the barbed wire fence one by one, looking at the sparkling river, their ears were full of Liu Lanfang's voice, and their brains were the Jin Ge Iron Horse of Song Jin's conquest.
At the end of a storytelling, relaxing music sounded through the speakers. Liu Ahuo looked up at the sky, and the moon had unconsciously climbed Yangmingshan, "The moon is so round, it's fifteen today?!" β
"Today is sixteen, and it has been ten days since I was captured by the Ming army." No. 2-102 Chen Datian has a newlywed wife at home, and he is counting his sons every day.
"Daejeon misses his daughter-in-law!" Someone was heckling.
Chen Datian said sullenly, "Who of you doesn't want to go home!" β
"I don't want to go home!" Liu Ahuo raised his voice, "The food here is not bad for three meals a day, and some people tell us about the story, and the rich man's family doesn't have such a freehand son." Although the work is a bit hard, the squadron leader said that this is to contribute to the rejuvenation of China, and I Liu Ahuo also has strength. β
"Liu Ahuo, you don't even have a home, what are you coaxing!" Chen Datian was a little angry, he scooped up the cuffs, revealing the strong tendon meat, "Who hasn't contributed to the revival of China?" You don't do as much of your daily work as I do. β
The liberation camps pay attention to political education every day, and no one wants to become backward elements.
"What did you say!" When Chen Datian said this, he immediately jumped up when he talked about Liu Ahuo's sore spot.
"What a noise! What a noise! Xie Wang, the deputy of the squadron, rushed over, "Organize you to study every night, 'Who is our friend and who is our enemy?' 'Who should our swords and guns be aimed at?' Why can't you remember anything about it?! β
Xie Wang turned out to be the head of the green camp, and he was more clever. was captured by the Ming army for almost a month, and the Fujian official dialect was transformed into a decent standard official dialect.
Seeing Xie Wang appear, Chen Datian and Liu Ahuo immediately put out the fire.
Liu Ahuo hurriedly said, "Deputy Xie, we're joking." β
"Yes, yes!" Chen Datian accompanied the smiling face, "I'm not lagging behind, I just feel that I've been out for a long time, and I'm a little homesick." β
Xie Wang learned to cross the style of cadres, with his hands behind his back, and his face pretended to be serious, "Homesick, this is human nature." As long as everyone is willing to serve the rejuvenation of China, the cadres and adults will think about everyone and meet everyone's wishes. β
After the Ming army occupied Keelung, the dependents of the soldiers of the big chicken cage flood green battalion also got a new life, Xie Wang's wife was absorbed into the Anlan City Logistics Service Center, and the two children all carried their schoolbags, Xie Wang was very satisfied with his current life, he only hated himself for being too late from Long, and became a deputy squadron leader, and was restricted by the children of Ri Benmao.
"Drip~da~~da~~da~~da~~"
The loudspeaker of Shezi Island sounded the sound of the assembly call, and the captives walked towards the conference room.
Before the political education, squadron leader Xiao Wulang first talked about the conflict that had just happened, "Comrades, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we should be sincere and united. I am RI myself, you are Taiwanese, and we are all part of the Chinese nation. Xiao Wulang's Chinese words were a little weird, and he gestured as he spoke.
Xiao Goro is RI himself, the leader of the Second Liberation Squadron. Xiao Goro was originally called Kogoro and did not have a surname. When he was studying and training on Dunan Island, Qin Yang from the male cadet training camp helped him name Xiao Wulang.
"Now there are many people who always feel that they have been captured by the Ming army, and regard themselves as prisoners of war in the prisoner camp." Xiao Wulang used chalk to write the word "liberation" on the blackboard in the conference room.
"Comrades, you were all deceived by the Manchus before, willing to be enslaved by the Manchu Tartars, and were the lackeys of the Manchus. Now that you have been liberated, you must become warriors for the revival of China, contribute to the defeat of the Manchu Tatars, and make meritorious contributions to the revival of China. β
Xiao Wulang told everyone very seriously that if you want to be a liberation fighter, you can't be willing to fall and be martyred for the Manchu Tartars.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Wulang saw that the atmosphere in the venue was a little dull, and he glanced at Xie Wang, who was sitting in the front row. Xie Wang immediately stood up and led everyone to raise their arms and chant slogans.
"Down with the Manchu Tartars!"
"Hit the bandit leader Xianfeng!"
"Long live the revival of China!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After more than a dozen slogans were shouted, everyone's emotions suddenly became excited.
Xiao Wulang was satisfied with the lecture manuscript of the "Baath Party Manifesto" and began to formally attend the class.
