Li Nanxing's answer with guns and cannons shocked all the clan elders in the hall...... They were after a short pause. With a brush, Li Guanshan stood up, and the clan elders also stood up. In the same trembling voices, they asked in unison, "Where did you get so many guns?" How can you have a cannon? ”

Where did the guns come from? You don't care where I come from, anyway, if you have it, you can get it. Li Nanxing knew that he could no longer dwell on the issue of the source of the guns at this time, so he said: "Naturally, I bought it." Not only Pontianak, but as far as the child knows, there are places such as Sanfa City and Sanpinyang. However, the clan elders, the top priority at the moment is to make every effort to suppress the rebellion of the natives, how to proceed, and ask the clan elders to come up with a way as soon as possible. ”

"Wait." A clan elder stood up: "The virtuous nephew just said that we have enough guns to equip a division, according to the establishment of the imperial court, this is at least tens of thousands of guns and hundreds of thousands of bullets, and it takes a lot of money to buy the required goods, not to mention artillery." The old man has always been in charge of the accounts of the family's goods, and there are no additional large expenditures during this period, and there is no problem with the accounts. Can you tell me where the money came from to buy such a large number of firearms? Could it be that the patriarch's family is already wealthy, why does our family not have this strength? ”

"Uncle clan, should we discuss how to suppress the natives first, and then discuss this matter after the natives are settled?" Li Nanxing is very angry, it's all this time, is there any point in asking this? When you ask clearly, the Chinese in Nanyang will be killed by the natives!

"No, no, no, the nephew is different. As long as we suppress it with all our might, the disaster of the natives will not be a small problem of ringworm. However, the patriarch's family has such financial resources. If you don't explain how you can make other families feel at ease. If each family is not at ease, how can they obey the main family, so that the family is in danger of falling apart. This is a great disaster. ”

When Li Nanxing heard this, he pointed to the door and said angrily: "The natives have all been killed at the door, but you still have to entangle some goods here." ”

"A few words, the virtuous nephew is still good to say."

"This is not something that can be explained in a few words, and when it is clear, the Chinese have been killed by the natives! Li Guannian, Lao Tzu has no time to entangle with you. After Li Nanxing finished speaking, he walked outside, and even Li Guanshan scolded to no avail.

Li Nanxing just walked out of the lobby door. And one of the servants came forward. I only heard Li Nanxing say: "Send a telegram to Yamaguchi Yang and Sanfa City, and ask him to open all the basements, take out weapons and distribute them." Overnight operations in various places. Strive to suppress all the natives in one night. ”

The servants nodded and retreated, while Li Nanxing commanded the other servants to go to the backyard. Seeing this, Li Guannian beckoned everyone to go to the backyard of the main house to see how many guns the main family had bought.

The basement in the backyard was opened. Swarthy guns were taken out with the smell of butter. Crates of bullets were also carried out. Families who knew how to use firearms began to distribute guns and ammunition, and others began to be loaded into trucks. The names of places and people that came out of Li Nanxing's mouth one by one are the places where these loaded guns and bullets go. When all the 300 guns were taken out of the basement, the servants actually pushed out two Russian-made short-barreled guns from the innermost part of the basement, and when the four boxes of ammunition containing twelve shells were opened, everyone was really shocked.

The Dutch government has always had a policy of suppression of the Chinese, and on weekdays, let alone cannons, even a few more guns will be interrogated and confiscated by the Dutch. Now two cannons have really been launched from the basement of the main house. But it really scares these people. Li Guannian also asked tremblingly: "At this time, we have to take out the cannon, and we must not invite the revenge of the Dutch afterwards." Li Guannian asked people to destroy the cannon on the spot. On the other hand, he was still questioning where Li Guanshan came from with the money to buy firearms.

"Now that the natives have come to the door, you still have to worry about the purchase cost of guns, and if you can't take out guns and use them, you have to destroy them on the spot, how can this be reasonable? Why don't we tie our hands and put our heads over and chop them off for the natives? How many Dutch talents, and how many Chinese in Nanyang do I have, have you thought about it? When Lanfang overthrew the country, 300,000 Chinese were slaughtered by the Dutch like pigs. 300,000 people, that is, 300,000 pigs working together to arch and kill these Dutchmen. No wonder the emperor keeps saying that he wants to unite and unite. Li Nanxing unceremoniously pointed at Li Guannian and scolded: "Now I finally understand why Lan Fang overthrew the country back then, it was because there were more losers like you." ”

Li Guannian is upright and honest, and he has not made a single mistake since he was in charge of the family account, and he has won the respect of the family. It was not that he had to trace the source of the cost of purchasing guns, but that it was his responsibility in the first place. Now he is so scolded by the juniors in front of the size of the clan, but it makes him angry. didn't think about it, Li Nanxing and Ben ignored his questioning. Before leaving, he also put down a sentence, what is the meaning that someone will come to explain to him the source of these guns tomorrow. Completely ignoring his beard and glaring.

Li Guanshan just watched as he took out the guns from his basement, although the surface was still as stable as Mount Tai, in fact, his heart was already turbulent. He is not only the patriarch, but also the head of the family. Now that there are guns in the basement in his backyard and he doesn't know it, how can this not shock him. When did the eldest son, who is usually well-behaved, have such skills, and unconsciously he has lost control of his family. But so what, he is his eldest son, and he will take over this family in the future, and now he has no intention of knowing that his eldest son is better than himself, and it is a good thing that the blue is better than the blue, and it seems that he is old. But the son is still immature in this matter, these people are the pillars of the family, and they are also his assistants to the future patriarch. Offending these clan elders in this way will cause unnecessary trouble for him to take over the family in the future, let your father clean up for you now.

Thinking of this, Li Guanshan said: "Guan Nian, my brother knows that you are asking this for the good of the family." But now that the local rebellion is just around the corner, this matter of goods should not wait to deal with the past first. At that time, you don't need to ask, the old man has to ask to understand. But since Guan Nian said that there is no problem with the family accounts, Fang Wei's brother also asked his own account office, and there are no unclear accounts or large amounts of money in the family in the near future, which means that Nanxing's purchase of this batch of firearms has another source. He said that someone would come to explain the problem tomorrow, so it would be better to wait one more day. Let everyone understand. It's just that now the gun is out. I can't run the battle between the Nanyang Chinese and the natives. It was now imperative to suppress the rebellion of the Turks before the Dutch intervened. Xiao'er Nanxing has gone out to arrange relevant matters, and the clan elders will also go home as soon as possible to make arrangements. Otherwise, the Dutch intervened. We, the Chinese, will come into conflict with them, and this is the way to get trouble. ”

Since Li Guanshan, who is the patriarch, has said so, Li Guannian has no opinion. The other heads of the houses nodded yes and turned to leave. Before they could get out of the backyard, the gunshots outside the courtyard rang out, so did the cannons, and the sound of the Chinese fighting resounded through the sky. The heads of the family also seemed to feel the call of this fight. They all sped up and trotted. They are returning to their homes and arranging for their own homes to join in this powerful counterattack. For the first time, the Nanyang Chinese, who had been compromised and retreated, held high guns and cannons for the first time. Attacks were launched against the natives, against the Dutch.

It's not that the Nanyang Chinese don't have blood, it's not that the Nanyang Chinese don't have strength, it's because they don't have unity. And there is still constant infighting between various families, and the Chinese always want to use the power of foreigners to attack the Chinese of another family first. But the foreigners borrowed from it to disintegrate the Chinese. Now. The young Chinese began to unite because of the victory of the motherland. The first shots were fired in Pontianak with the sound of Nanyang Chinese armed resistance against the natives, and with the arrival of the telegram, the Chinese in Yamaguchiyang and Sanfa City also began to arm against the natives. It turned out that the natives were weak. Beginning to disintegrate like a landslide in front of the Chinese, who were full of guns and ammunition, the natives wondered why the Chinese, who had always been weak, had become so ferocious.

The Dutch also did not understand that their policy had always been to support the natives and restrict the Chinese, and would incite the natives to massacre the Chinese every once in a while. Unexpectedly, today's Chinese people actually began to rebel. Karl looked at the telegram handed by Viv in amazement, and asked the equally confused Viv, "When did the Chinese become so bold?" Where did their guns come from? Why do the Chinese have cannons and we don't know? ”

"I'm sorry Your Excellency. Your problem is still being investigated. The most important thing now is to suppress the Chinese, otherwise there will be big trouble in the future. ”

"Of course I do. Immediately ordered the Far Eastern Fleet to set off to Borneo to suppress the Chinese rebellion. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor. I have ordered the fleet to end its leave early, but now the officers and men of the fleet are not yet able to arrive, and the commander of the fleet has told me that the fleet will not be able to do so until the evening at the earliest. ”

"Then let them go a little faster. You immediately send a telegram to Borneo and ask them to send an army. ”

The Borneo Dutch who received the telegram immediately went out to garrison, claiming to calm the situation, but in fact to help the natives, who had only sticks, to suppress the Chinese resistance. Since ancient times, the Chinese, who have not fought with the officials, saw that the Dutch had dispatched troops, and the Chinese armed forces, which were still in high spirits, dispersed in a blink of an eye. Some of the young and popular shouts in the Chinese team didn't help.

The victory of the Dutch means that the natives have won. They picked up the guns that had been left behind in the panic and opened fire on the Chinese. The Chinese panicked even more, and the Chinese pushed away the crowded crowd in front of them and ran backwards. It seems that as long as you run past your own people, as long as you don't stay in the last one, you can save your life. The only poor ones are the Chinese who are left behind, who are brutally slaughtered.

"A bunch of fools, don't kill the Dutch now. In the future, the Chinese will be killed by the Dutch, have they all forgotten the pain of Lan Fang? Li Nanxing, who was in command, learned that there was a collapse in front of him, and he was so angry that he slapped the table and thought: "It can't go on like this." To concentrate on the Chinese who dare to fight, they must withstand the attack of the Dutch. A report was sent to Yamaguchi and Mihata, and forces were organized to defeat this wave of Dutch attacks. ”

The preparation time is too short, and the core strength is still not enough! Li Nanxing deeply felt that the time for these launches was still a little too early, and it would be better if he endured this time and waited for the next opportunity. But not only could he not bear it, but the order from above also required it. Now he could only find a way to save the defeat, Li Nanxing straightened the pistol on his waist and rushed out with the last two people.

Outside, gunfire erupted, mixed with fighting and intermittent gunfire. Li Guanshan only ate half a bowl of rice worriedly, looking at the sky outside the courtyard. Even the old wife didn't dare to say much.

The Chinese had guns and cannons, and this was no longer a conflict between the Chinese and the natives, especially when he heard that the Dutch army had opened the barracks, Li Guanshan understood that the nature of this situation had changed. Although there are many natives, neither the Dutch nor the Chinese actually take the natives seriously. For the Dutch, the natives were just weapons to help the Dutch restrain and slaughter the Chinese; For the Chinese, the natives were nothing more than cheap labor. The real contradiction is between the rich Chinese and the greedy Dutch. But the Nanyang Chinese, who have lost the support of the state, are like a tree that has lost its roots, and the children with the gold beads in their arms will naturally attract the snatching of greedy adult men. Originally, the natives who were just chess pieces on both sides completely fell to the Dutch. Now the Chinese with guns have become a thorn in the side of the Dutch, if the Chinese fail this time. The Dutch categorically will not let the Chinese go, and they will completely interrupt the last courage of the Chinese.

Li Guanshan beckoned to his confidant and old servant: "Either don't do it, or do it." Go and tell the eldest young master that only by killing all the Dutch can the Chinese have a way to live. ”

The old servant didn't speak, just nodded and went out. Li Guanshan sat at home and listened to the news from the servants. At the beginning, everything went smoothly, and the natives had not yet been taken into account by the Chinese, not to mention how the Chinese with guns and cannons could not defeat the natives. Only the Dutchman, whom he had been watching, had not moved, was what worried him the most. Until the moment when the Dutch army left the barracks, Li Guanshan's heart rose to his throat, and the most critical moment came. Whether the Chinese can gain a foothold in Nanyang depends on this.

But the Chinese still failed, and in the face of the well-trained Dutch army, the Chinese still failed like a landslide with only a moment of blood and courage. Li Guanshan's heart called the old servant like a knife: "Personnel has done its best, and it is impossible to do anything." Lao Lin, go and call Nanxing and them back, I have already arranged a boat to go to sea on the shore. Let us old guys do the rest. ”

"The old slave is going to inform the eldest young master. I don't know how the ladies in the family arrange it? ”

"We old guys have to guard the ancestral business, since we are married to the old man, we will naturally be with the old man. It's just that there is no need to let the child be tied to us, call your child to go with Nanxing, and be a helper to Nanxing in the future. ”

The old servant left with tears in his eyes, and the news that came later was as Li Guanshan expected, that the Chinese were killed and wounded under the combined attack of the Dutch and the natives. It seems that Lan Fang's mistake is unavoidable. The old servant came back, not only did he not bring back Nanxing, but even his own son did not bring back, but he brought the words of Nanxing: hold on a little longer, and everything will be smooth until noon tomorrow.

What gives Nanxing such confidence? Where did so many guns come from? It can be heard from the Nanxing dialect that not only Pontianak, but also the Chinese in Yamaguchiyo, Sanfa City and other places are ready. With a large number of guns and such a huge plan launched in various places at the same time, who is behind this? Young people's impulsiveness is inevitably ill-considered, and Nanxing's move involves the safety of the entire Borneo Chinese, and it must be understood clearly.

How much Li Guanshan hoped at this moment that the departed Qing fleet could appear on the sea, as long as the Qing fleet was there, the Chinese would not fail. However, in order to protect themselves, the Qing Dynasty transferred the fleet and took away the generals of the well-trained Chinese children in Nanyang. Even if the fleet is gone, why can't the Chinese children in Nanyang be left behind, if they are there, at least there will be no collapse of the Chinese armed forces. But the Qing Dynasty still left the Chinese in Nanyang, and the imperial court still abandoned them.

Li Guanshan stood up again, and at this moment, resolutely and resolutely returned to his face. As the patriarch, he ordered the families to let them do their best without reservation, so that there might be a glimmer of life. (To be continued......) u
