Walking into the headquarters, Lin Dejia went straight to the combat command room, which was the largest room of the original battery. Although there were many people sitting in the room, Qian Shuiting, Wang Tiezhu, and Lin Youde were all sitting inside. As soon as Lin Dejia entered the door and asked, "Qian Shoufu and Wang Sima, where did you come from, making you so nervous?" ”

"The forester sat down, sat down and said slowly."

Seeing Lin Dejia's dusty appearance, Chen Yu pulled Lin Dejia to sit beside him, "Sister Lin, you are more anxious than me!" ”

"You're here!" Lin Dejia saw Chen Yu, Jiang Li, Kohler, McClain and others also sitting in the room. Lin Dejia has always been unsociable, although she has not seen Chen Yu and others for a long time, she only nodded slightly.

Wang Tiehammer pushed a large piece of paper on the table, "This is the notice distributed by Monga yesterday. Huang Long'an, the elder of Monga Sanyi, issued a reward order, cutting off one of our heads can be exchanged for fifty taels of silver. ”

Lin Dejia blurted out, "Sanyi Elder Huang Longan? What is the Sanyi Elder thing? ”

"It's not a thing, it's like an underworld boss." Lei Nianping had done some research on Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty, and he explained this a little.

Lei Nianping is a Taiwanese, and he is mainly responsible for transporting materials directly from Taiwan in the original time and space. Three large warehouses had just been built in the Zhenshawan material stack area at the source of the Anlan River, and he transported a batch of important materials from the original time and space through the space-time box.

Monga, which was later Wanhua District, Taipei City, was the third largest town in Taiwan at that time. Monga is located at the confluence of Da Cheng Kang Creek, Xindian Creek and Tamsui River, with superior water transportation and access to large and small settlements in the Taipei Basin, and most of the sea ships from Fujian can sail into the Tamsui River and stay here. At this time, Monga was at its peak, and merchants hired ships to load and sell ships as close as Fuzhou, Zhangquan and Xiamen, and as far away as Ningbo, Shanghai, Zhapu, Tianjin and Guangdong.

During the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Quanzhou immigrants crossed the sea and settled in Monga, forming a suburban gang with the Sanyi ethnic group as the main body. Suburb means to trade, to do business. The so-called suburbs are a kind of organization of commercial and ancestral people, and the top suburbs also refer to the suburbs of Quanzhou and the northern suburbs, monopolizing the trade of Quanzhou, Shanghai and the ports north of Shanghai, including the so-called Sanyi people (commonly known as the top suburbs) such as Nan'an, Jinjiang and Hui'an under Quanzhou, and the elders of the Sanyi are equivalent to the patriarchs or the horns of the leaders of the merchant groups.

In 1853, in order to fight for the right to berth ships in Monga Port, the top suburbs dominated by the Sanyi people of Quanzhou Prefecture attacked the lower suburbs dominated by the Tong'an people of Quanzhou Prefecture. The casualties of the Tong'an people are not counted, all the houses are burned down, the Tong'an people are defeated, the whole clan moves to Dadaocheng several kilometers away to do business, the Sanyi people win, and occupy most of the interests of Monga, which is known as the top and bottom suburbs in history.

Dingjiao is now equivalent to a local self-government organization, with taxes, regimental training, and even public affairs such as road construction, Yidu, Yicang, disaster relief, patrol and other public affairs, Longshan Temple is the base camp of the military and government in Dingjiao. The top suburbs of the Sanyi ethnic group are quite conservative and closed, and it is difficult to tolerate outsiders and new things. Sanyi Elder Huang Longan is also the prime minister of Monga Street, he is like the soil emperor of Monga, and the Cheng Makdun of Monga County has to look at his face.

At this time, Monga faced the water on three sides, there was no defensive city wall, and in the early days of the Qing Dynasty's rule of Taiwan, in order to avoid the rebellion of the displaced people, Taiwan was forbidden to build a stone brick city. The Cheng Yamen of Monga County is located here, and the Naval Staff and General Office of the Monga Battalion is also stationed here. The Monga battalion has one staff general and one garrison on land and water. The waterway garrison is stationed at the Huwei Fort, with jurisdiction over more than 700 officers and soldiers of the water division; The land garrison of the Chinese army was stationed in Monga.

After the Ming Dynasty landed in Keelung, a large number of people in Jilong Bay fled to Monga. Li Chao'an, the general of the water division of the Monga battalion, hurriedly ordered that all the Tangxun garrisons under the military camp on the land route should be reduced to Monga, and at the same time ordered the Huwei water division battalion to strengthen the fort defense to prevent the Ming army from entering the Tamsui River through the waterway.

Half of the Monga battalion was a sailor battalion guarding the Huwei Fort, and only 700 men defended Monga. If you want to defend Monga, you can only recruit village warriors, and at the same time, you must also raise food and rewards. If the Qing army wants to fight, it must first issue a promotion fee, and no one can be less than military salaries, food salaries, and rewards.

Chen Guanghui, the land garrison of the Monga Battalion, broke into the Monga County Cheng Office and wanted to discuss with Markun about raising money and food. At this time, the angry command entourage was preparing to pack, knowing that the Ming army was strong, and his first thought was to abandon the defense of Monga and flee to the bamboo trench. Monga was under the jurisdiction of the Tamsui Agency, which was located in the Bamboo Trench (later Hsinchu), which was the center of political, economic, cultural and educational purposes in northern Taiwan.

"Master Ma, you have the responsibility to guard the land as a county official, and you want to abandon the city and flee, don't you want the head of Xiang Shang?" Seeing that Mark was about to flee, Chen Shoubei was very angry, and the people were scattered when the Fumin official fled, and how could Monga defend it.

Chen Guanghui held the handle of the sword he was carrying with him, his teeth clenched tightly, but Markton didn't care at all, "Chen Shoubei, what do you want to do, tell you, I'm going to Zhuqian City to ask for troops, and ask Lord Ding to send troops quickly." As for these burdens, they have to be sent upwards, this matter of inviting soldiers, how can I do it with empty mouths and white teeth, I have to dredge it. ”

The garrison is the official of the fifth grade, and the county is only the eighth grade, but the status of the Qing Dynasty warriors is low, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty uses literature to control the military, and the eight-rank county is definitely stronger than the five-grade garrison. Although Chen Guanghui was angry, he didn't have any tricks to deal with these Eight Banners, "Our Monga Battalion is facing the Ming bandits, what should we do with the food and rewards?" ”

Master Shen flashed out from the side, "This is easy to do!" The top suburbs are not very strong, almost the entire Monga Street is theirs, and there is a village warrior in the top suburbs. You can directly let them contribute money and food! ”

"It's easy to say that you can send people, money, and food, but Ma Xiancheng and Master Shen can't go anywhere, you have to stay in Monga for me!" Huang Longan rushed in with a team of villagers.

Knowing that the Ming army occupied the chicken coop, the Sanyi ethnic group entrenched in Monga didn't care very much, but when they heard what the Ming army was doing "keep their heads without braids, and keep braids without their heads", they were all hairy, and this braid followed them for more than 50 years, and cutting the braids was more uncomfortable than asking for their lives.

Huang Longan immediately convened everyone to discuss, and everyone unanimously decided to contribute people, money, and grain, expand the village brave team, and assist the Monga battalion to defend Monga. Halfway through the meeting, I heard a report that Mark was running away.

"Can't let him go!" Huang Longan immediately came to intercept with a team of villagers.

The Eight Banners disciple has always liked to eat, drink and have fun, but there is no use for fart. Although Huang Longan said that he looked down on him, after all, Mak Duan was Monga's parent official and the lord of a county, and if he ran away, the people's hearts would be scattered.

Mark was not afraid of Chen Shoubei, but he was a little afraid of Huang Longan. Huang Longan is a big man in the suburbs, and there are many outlaws under him. Last year, when he was fighting in the suburbs, he was ordered to persuade him to reconcile, but Huang Longan instructed someone to set fire to the yamen of his county office, which caused him to lose his prestige and lived outside for several months.

"Lord County, the attack of the Ming bandits is imminent, you have the responsibility to defend the territory, and you can't leave Monga." Huang Longan stepped forward and grabbed Markun's arm, "Otherwise, the people of Monga will have no backbone, and the responsibility for the fall of the city will be yours!" Huang Longan's tone was solemn, and his words were full of threats.

"That's nature, that's nature. I'll find someone to run around for the news. Mark agreed.

Chen Shoubei glanced at Mark with disdain, he walked in front of Huang Longan and clenched his fists, "Premier Huang, I hope you will help you vigorously in defending Monga." ”

"The garrison is polite, and it is incumbent upon the people of Monga Sanyi to defend it. We've lived in Monga for generations, and the bandits want to get into Monga and cut off our braids unless they cross over me. ”

Huang Longan was right to hold Markton hostage, and he used Markton's seal to order the surrounding villages to send people and money and food. After two days of hard work, the villagers from the villages around Monga gathered in Monga, with as many as 3,000 people, and countless money and grain raised. In order to keep their braids, there is an endless stream of good families who sign up to participate in the township, and those Luohan feet (homeless people without land) are even more enthusiastic, suppressing the Ming bandits, obtaining military merits, and glory and wealth are coming.

Li Chao'an, the general of the Monga battalion, garrisoned Chen Guanghui and Huang Long'an, gathered nearly 4,000 soldiers, and defended the Monga for more than ten days. The spies couldn't get into Jilong Bay, and when they went back, they could only report that Jilong Bay was firing artillery every day, and the Ming bandits might be training. Finally, a spy waded through the Keelung River from Nuan Nuan Street, climbed over the steep Bamboo Ridge, and entered Shihard Harbor, and only then did he find out the details.

I heard that the Ming army was immersed in the construction of roads in Jilong Bay, and built houses and wharves. Li Chao'an, Chen Guanghui and Huang Long are all relaxed, what development can there be in a big place in Jilong Bay, this Ming bandit is very powerful, it turns out to be an old man in the countryside, and he doesn't want to make progress if he has a little land.

Huang Longan proposed to take the initiative to attack and suppress, but Li Chaoan and Chen Guanghui were not very interested in this, their spies had already seen the powerful firepower of the Ming army on Lion Ball Ridge, and the attack casualties must have been very large. Although there are now more than 4,000 men and horses in Monga, it is still the hundreds of soldiers in the Monga battalion who really obey the command. Li Chao'an: The only thing they wanted to do was to wait for the North Road Association Zeng Yuming to lead the army to come.

Huang Longan couldn't sit still, this is a business gang in the suburbs, and it will seriously affect their normal business operations. He and several heads in the suburbs of the top suburbs combined, and yesterday issued a reward order in Monga, cutting off the head of a Ming bandit, and rewarding fifty taels of silver.

A head for fifty taels of silver, this temptation is too great! There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and as soon as the notice was posted, many people immediately rushed to Keelung. From Monga to Keelung, the post road is about 55 miles, and Shiqiu Ridge is the only way.

A platoon of soldiers led by Huang Pengfei guarded the Lion Ball Ridge there, and this morning the Ming army on the Lion Ball Ridge had eliminated four groups of outlaws and killed more than 10 people.

Wang Tiehammer told Lin Dejia that the notice on the table was found from the outlaws. As soon as his words fell, several more gunshots rang out in the direction of Lion Ball Ridge.

Soon the walkie-talkie on Wang Tiehammer's body rang here, and Huang Pengfei of Shiqiuling reported that just now there was another group of outlaws, and they wanted to use the method of beauty tricks to approach the sentinels of Jing Jie, and the three outlaws were all killed, and there were no casualties in our department.
