The settlement of Taiwanese in the Qing Dynasty was divided into the "Zhuang" of the Han people and the "She" of the Fan people, which were different administrative systems and did not govern each other. Fanren's Big Chicken Coop Society is under the jurisdiction of the Beigang Society. Tamsui Beigang Society has jurisdiction over six societies in the northern coastal area of Taiwan, including Jinbaoli, Beitou, Mao Shaoweng, Sanmink, and Big and Small Chicken Coops, with a total of more than 200 people.

There are more than 10,000 people in the Han gathering area in the coastal area of northern Taiwan, and there are mainly three villages, Jinbaoli Village, Dajilong Street, and Sanmino Village, which are collectively classified as Jinji Mink Fort.

Early in the morning, Lin Guoshan, the prime minister of Dajilong Street, was still asleep when he was awakened by the sound of rumbling cannons. As soon as he got up from the bed, Wu Chang, the local security guard of the Golden Rooster Mink Fort, ran over.

Wu Chang's family migrated from Zhangzhou to Keelung during the Qianlong period, and several generations of diligent and diligent people can be regarded as a well-off, and opened a fish shop on Jilong Street. Wu Chang is also considered a wealthy class in Jilong Street, just because no one in his family has gained fame and is not considered a gentry class, he was placed on an errand by Lin Guoshan and others to protect the land.

The land protection sounds very beautiful, but it is a chore, and he assists the prime ministers of each village in handling official affairs before and after running every day. The prime minister was the core and important position in the township governance organization in the Qing Dynasty, and almost took over all the autonomous affairs of the countryside and the locality.

When the cannon rang out in the morning, Wu Chang's fish shop had already opened the door. Wu Chang's fish shop is located on the top of the Asahikawa River, and fishing boats can directly enter the Asahikawa River.

At this time, the sky was already dark, Wu Chang came out of the house, and the cannon fire in the bay had stopped. He looked at Ershawan from Kun Tsai Ding Street. There was a mist over the fort, and there were no strange ships on the sea, and there was no movement.

Wu Chang didn't know what was going on, but he first thought of going to report to Lin Guoshan.

"Your Excellency, this cannon sound is coming from the side of Ershawan, as if the pirates have touched the Ershawan Fort."

"Pirates? Where did the pirates come from? What is the situation of the soldiers of the green battalion of the fort? ”

Faced with Lin Guoshan's series of questions, Wu Chang's tongue became shorter all of a sudden.

Lin Guoshan was very unhappy, what was this land guard doing to eat, and before the situation was clear, he ran over.

"Woo~~~~~~~", a long whistle sounded on the sea again.

The sound came from the sea outside the nose of the fairy cave. Soon someone came to report that two strange ships appeared on the sea, without slurry and sails, and the speed of action was very fast, and the ships went to the direction of Dashawan, but they were blocked by the Ershawan battery, and they did not see what they were doing.

Knowing that there was no movement at all from the fort, Lin Guoshan was a little flustered.

What's going on? This strange ship came inexplicably, but the Ershawan Fort was even more inexplicable. Could it be that the pirates and thieves have already captured the Ershawan Fort, and the Qian Zong of the Big Chicken Coop Society is known as the brave Lin Wencha!

"Check, find out what happened to me!"

After sending Wu Chang away, Lin Guoshan immediately found his sleepy-eyed youngest son Lin Yicheng and asked him to quickly gather the townspeople on Dajilong Street to strengthen Zhuangzi's vigilance. At the same time, let the housekeeper take the female dependents of the family, carry valuable things, and withdraw to the stone fence first, which is the closest to the Lion Ball Ridge, and it is also convenient to run.

Not long after Xiangyong was established, Lin Guoshan had only raised more than a dozen family thugs to keep the nursing home. The knife will be committed in the first half of the year, and Lin Wencha took the township to help the war, and finally caught a thousand presidents, Lin Guoshan regretted it a little, this is also a way out from martial arts, and he should have let his youngest son Lin Guoshan, who couldn't read the book, practice the township bravery.

Lin Guoshan has a total of two sons, and the eldest son Lin Yibo was admitted to the Juren Examination, and now he is an official in Fujian. The youngest son Lin Yicheng was often reprimanded by his father before, since he was responsible for training the township bravery, Lin Yicheng has reached the hope of getting ahead, and if he trains a township brave, he has the hope of obtaining military merits.

Lin Yicheng received instructions from his father and immediately began to gather his subordinates. Joncoop Street soon became heavily guarded, with several villagers standing at each intersection, checking on the pedestrians passing by on the street.

Chicken Coop Street is the center of the Golden Rooster Mink Fort, and there are hundreds of households in the center of the street alone, which is quite prosperous. Families in all directions lack needles and threads, or chickens, ducks, and fish have become wealthy, and they all come here to buy and sell. The long street, which is less than 500 meters, is lined with shops, and two shops are dedicated to women's business.

However, the sound of artillery had already dispersed the villagers who were rushing to gather early, and everyone knew that there was another military disaster, so they rushed back one after another. In the first half of the year, everyone remembers the situation of the knife meeting, and no one dares to stay in a place like Jilong Street.

The fishing boats in the bay are all lying on the shore, and the crops on both sides of the Tianliao River are gone. There are few pedestrians in the market on Jonker Street, and the shops on both sides of the street are closed. The people of the Quartet dragged their families one after another, and even brought pigs, cows, chickens, ducks and other things up the mountain to escape the war.

The gentry and merchants on Joncoop Street also ran out of the street, and they all planned to flee to Monga to avoid trouble, just like they had done half a year ago. But Lin Yicheng took the townsman to guard the street, and many people were kindly stopped by Lin Yicheng.

Lin Yicheng told them that these gang of thieves were temporarily cowering on the front line of the Sanshawan and Ershawan forts, and that there were Xiangyong guarding the west bank of the Tianliao River, and that Jilong Street was still safe. As a result, the heads and brains of Jilong Street all focused on Lin Guoshan's mansion to understand the situation and discuss countermeasures.

Wu Chang ran around and summarized the situation to Lin Guoshan, the two paddle steamers moored on the sea of the white rice urn were the Citi Yi boats that used to come to buy coal, but today there was no flag of the Hua Dou Yi people, and the bow of the ship was hung with a red flag, and there were patterns of the sun and the moon on it.

Now the two steamers have moved to the surface of the sea near Dasha Bay, and two small boats have been laid down. The boat shuttled back and forth in the harbor, constantly transporting people on paddle steamers to Dasha Bay.

There are two red flags hanging on the Ershawan Fort, one with a sun and moon pattern, and the other with five stars.

Now the line from Sanshawan to Ershawan Fort has been occupied by these thieves who claim to be the master of the Ming Dynasty, and the villagers have been stopped from going into the mountains to chop firewood and go down to the bay to catch the sea.

Wu Chang also brought millet, a villager from Tianliao Port, who had been driven down from Ershawan Mountain by the Ming army. He reported that two boats without slurry and sails were parked on the beach of Da Sha Wan, and the bow of the boat could be opened.

"Xiaomi, are you right?" Lin Guoshan, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, frowned. All the gentry seated around the hall had their ears pricked up.

Tianliao Port is a Zhuangzi on both sides of the Tianliao River. Millet is a dilapidated settlement in Tianliao Port, where there is only an elderly mother in the family, and there is no land, so she relies on running errands and doing odd jobs to earn some livelihood.

Xiaomi played cards all night and lost everything. Thinking that there was no rice at home, and her mother was hungry with her, Millet wanted to run to the beach and catch some fish, shrimp and shells to go back to satisfy her hunger. As soon as he ran to the beach, the shell exploded at the Ershawan Fort. Millet hurriedly ran to Ershawan Mountain, and he was right on the mountain.

"Master, the villain really got it." Millet hurriedly swore, "The bow of the boat is facing the beach, and many people are unloading from the boat, and the beach is full of unloaded goods." ”

"How many people do you have on the beach?"

"There are hundreds of people on the beach in Dashawan, and their clothes are either blue or colorful." Xiaomi thought for a while, a little unsure, "There seem to be a few Taoist priests in it." ”

Weng Lishui in the seat was a little surprised, "Daoist?!" You know. ”

Weng Lishui is the temple of Qing'an Palace, Qing'an Palace is a Taoist temple of Mazu built in Dajilong Street by villagers to pray for blessing and safety.

Millet swore an oath, "I have to be very clear, I wanted to continue coming, but a few pirates in colorful clothes searched the mountains with muskets, so I quickly ran." ”

After sending away Xiaomi, Lin Guoshan felt a little heavy, "Squires, what's the matter?" ”

As mentioned just now, the pirate ship in the bay is the former Citigroupi ship, Wu Qiolin suddenly felt frightened, bad, now he is suspected of being a bandit.

Wu Qiolin's forehead was full of cold sweat, and he felt that everyone in the hall was squinting at him. Seeing Lin Guoshan's question, he took the lead in speaking: "These are all Western ships, and this sun and moon pattern symbolizes Zhu Ming's banner, does it mean that foreigners have colluded with the bandit party?" This foreigner's ship is strong and sharp, and that is very powerful. ”

Speaking of the question of foreign ships, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded all of a sudden. Paddle steamers have come to Keelung Bay many times, and this strong ship and cannon are not something they can deal with, no wonder Lin Wencha's fort was not overturned.

Wu Changyu hesitated, "Anti-thieves and Taoist priests are mixed in, this Taoist priest is generally a military advisor or something, do these pirates want to make a plot to usurp the throne in Jilong Bay?!" ”

Wu Chang is not very literate, and he usually likes novels such as "Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "The Biography of Ming Yinglie", and is very familiar with romance characters such as Xu Maogong and Liu Bowen.

Lin Guoshan's brows furrowed, "Baochang Wu is right, this pirate may just want to learn from Ming Zheng and take Taiwan as his foundation." ”

The hall was quiet for a moment, and there was a small knife meeting in the first half of the year, and the anti-thieves who came this time didn't know how long it would take to make trouble. Lin Yicheng's townsmen had just formed an army, and no one in the squire had any hope for this.

Soon, some people suggested that this rebel must be surrendered by the imperial court, and whether he should report to the government as soon as possible.

"As soon as the cannon sounds, I'll send someone to deliver a message to Monga." Lin Guoshan is a little bored, and he has to wait until now to report the news, and these guys don't have any brains.

It has been two days since Mark returned to Monga, although Mark is a Eight Banners player and can't do anything serious, and Lin Guoshan often fools him on official business, but as soon as the cannon rang out in the morning, in the face of this sudden storm, Lin Guoshan's first thought was that he must immediately let Ma Xiancheng know and let the court know.

Lin Yicheng hurriedly ran in from outside at this time. When he got to the two family members standing straight in front of the hall, he subconsciously slowed down.

The hall is an old mansion that has been used for many years, and the interior is dimly lit and has an old atmosphere. Lin Yicheng slowly entered the hall, and then stepped forward, and very respectfully greeted Lin Guoshan who was sitting on the Taishi chair, "Father! ”

"I've seen all of you."

Lin Guoshan knew that his son had a strong ** for military exploits, but he was very satisfied that his son could still be so calm in front of him.

Lin Yicheng saluted in a circle, and then reported to his father that these gang of thieves under the banner of Zhu Ming had been building in Dashawan, and there seemed to be no other action.

"Uh, what are these thieves doing in the area of Dashawan if they don't take advantage of the situation to take down Jilong Street?" Lin Guoshan was a little puzzled.

"Father." Lin Yicheng bent over and looked at his father's face carefully, "Only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you survive a hundred battles." Now the situation of the anti-thief is unknown, which is relatively easy to misjudge. ”

"Makes sense!" Lin Guoshan pondered for a while, and felt that what his son said was right, he should send a few people to bring some rice, meat, oil, and eggs to the pirates to work on the army, and by the way, to find out about the enemy's situation.

The war disaster seriously affected the income of the gentry and merchants in Jilong Street, the coal on the mountain, the crops in the field, and the catch at sea, which of these items is not silver. In the first half of the year, there was a knife meeting, and everyone suffered a lot of losses, and now everyone is facing the looting of the war, and the court does not know how to wait until the year of the monkey. Therefore, everyone hopes to understand the reality of anti-thieves and reduce their own losses.

Lin Guoshan's proposal was immediately supported by everyone, but when the selection of the labor army was discussed, there was a fierce retreat. This pirate was very fierce, and it didn't take much trouble to take the Ershawan Fort, and the brave Lin Wencha was also very fierce. Except for Wu Qiolin, who expressed his willingness to go on this journey, the rest of the personnel were all afraid of being detained by the pirates, and no one wanted to go on this trip in person.

In the end, it was Lin Guoshan who made the decision, and asked Wu Chang, Weng Lishui and Wu Qiolin to lead the team to the labor army.

"As the chief of security, it is natural for Chief Wu to lead the team; Weng Lishui is the temple of Qing'an Palace, presumably the pirates will not be embarrassed to be a Taoist. ”
