Fuso, Nagasaki

Nagasaki Prefecture is located in the southernmost part of Fuso Province, on the west side of Kyushu Island, and is a concave bay terrain that has been the only foreign trade port in Fuso Province since the Edo period (1603~1867 AD), and was the domain of the Omura, Hirado, and Shimabara princes.

Since ancient times, it has been the gateway to Fuso.

As early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, many of the Sui envoys, Tang envoys and monks of Fusang set sail from Nagasaki to Huaxia Shenzhou. During the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, a large number of merchants from Fujian, Zhejiang and other coastal provinces came here to do business, and the number of Chinese who stayed for a long time reached about 10,000.

They established Karajin towns in Hirado, Fukue, and other places in Nagasaki, and became a place where Chinese people lived in large concentrations.

The huge heavy cruisers "Blue Dragon" and "White Tiger" were moored in the blue Nagasaki harbor one after the other, with flags flying in the wind on the tall steel triangular mast, huge gun muzzles covered with gun jackets, and the cold steel hull exuded a cold that no one could approach, which looked shocking.

Not far away are four 2,250-ton Seagull II ocean-going destroyers, these four warships belonging to the Borneo fleet are "Parrot", "Woodpecker", "Cardinal" and "Pheasant".

The main fleet was accompanied by a 6,500-ton fast coal carrier, the Borneo Postman, carrying high-quality bituminous coal from Australia for the fleet's long-distance voyages.

Nagasaki Prefecture is a coastal city with a recess along the bay, and the streets are lined with typical Fuso-style wooden buildings, and men and women in kimonos creaking their feet on their feet look peaceful and exotic.

"Navigator, these Japanese men are so frustrated! All of them don't grow like three-inch dings, is there something wrong with the feng shui of this place? ”

"Hahaha...... No wonder the woman here wants to run out, it seems that the reason is here! ”

"Hahahaha......"

Several sailors laughed wildly, and the tall and thin Navy Lieutenant He Jiaben rolled his eyes helplessly, looking at the low Japanese-style wooden houses on both sides of the road, and an invisible sense of superiority arose.

He Jiaben just returned from the Manchester Naval Academy in the United Kingdom last year, and after graduation, he practiced on the ships of the British Empire Navy for two years, and spent a total of five years in the UK, during which he married his sister Zhu Qiaoer and had a son.

When the He family returned to Australia in high spirits, they found that the former little brother Li Xuanzhu had risen like an aphrodisiac, and two silver stars were hung on his shoulders, which made He Jiagou fall into self-doubt, what have I missed in the past few years?

missed the explosive growth period of Queensland's overseas territorial expansion, and missed the singing and weeping Battle of the East Indies......

"Navigator, this country is the base camp of Sister Nanyang, since you are here, how can you not feel it, there is the largest red-light street in front, and it has been suffocating for more than a month, let's go and have a good time, right?"

The sailors couldn't bear it anymore and were eager to try, He Jiaben was self-assured, but he didn't want to fool around with them and get sick with flowers, so he said with a slight bow; "You guys go to play, remember not to make trouble after drinking, it's not okay to violate military rules, I'll just take a stroll around and see if there are any new local products."

"What good things can be in this ghost place of the Wa Kingdom, it is as happy as drinking flower wine."

"Go ahead, I won't accompany you."

He Jiaben shook his head, there are still beautiful wives and children at home, and these Japanese women can't arouse the slightest interest in him.

As the group talked, a group of Queensland sailors could be seen on the street, all of whom were on leave of the fleet officers and soldiers, under the leadership of their respective commanders, and many of them disembarked and went straight to the red light district where the brothels of the Qinglou brothel were concentrated.

From time to time, you can see Japanese samurai in shabby kimonos on both sides of the road, gathering in twos and threes, looking at the officers and soldiers of the fleet who are talking and laughing loudly with gloomy eyes, and some Fuso policemen in black clothes stand on the side of the street, like telephone poles.

The officers and men of the fleet did not care about these noises, and the diminutive people of Fuso would stand down and bow when they saw them, and behave very deferentially, and they enjoyed superhuman treatment in Nagasaki Prefecture, and did not take the down-and-out Japanese samurai seriously at all.

After breaking up with several of his sailors, Ho Kamoto turned his foot into a shop along the street, which was a shop selling Gifu lanterns, which were made in Gifu Prefecture and were widely spread in Fuso during the Meiji period.

The shop is filled with a variety of Gifu lanterns, ranging from fist-sized to half-human-high, with kanji written on them with brushes.

He Jiaben admired it with interest, and the short and fat shopkeeper next to him stood respectfully on the side, not daring to disturb the interest of Lord Yang.

After many years of education in the British naval aristocracy, the He family's own white naval academy uniform was ironed without a trace of wrinkles, the leather shoes under his feet were shiny, the light was recognizable, and the belt inlaid with silver edges hung with command knives and spears, which looked magnificent and extraordinary.

After looking around, the He family had no intention of communicating with the shopkeeper, he didn't know Japanese, and the short and fat shopkeeper obviously didn't speak English, and the communication between the two sides was purely chicken and duck.

That's when it happened

A commotion from outside the street caught He Jiaben's attention, and he frowned and walked out of the door to look, only to see a group of sailors not far away confronting more than a dozen Fusang warriors, and the two sides seemed to be in a fierce mood and refused to give in to each other.

Realizing his responsibilities, He Jiaben immediately strode over without hesitation and shouted loudly; "Hey, what are you all doing?"

At this time, the crowd in front of him was in a commotion, I don't know who took the lead, only to hear a scream after the Japanese samurai pulled out their swords one after another, the sharp knife flashed, blood splashed, the Japanese policeman dressed in black whistled, and the sharp voice resounded through the streets and alleys.

"Damn, look for death!" He Jiaben only felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, and immediately pulled out the pistol on his waist and rushed forward, shooting at a down-and-out samurai chasing the sailors.

"Bang bang ......" after two gunshots

Two bright blood flowers bloomed on the chest of the down-and-out warrior, clutching his chest, and he fell to the ground and died.

The sound of gunfire woke up the other Fuso samurai, and they immediately stared fiercely at He Jiaben, who was striding over, and let the others go up with their katanas held high.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

He Jiaben shot down two people and wounded one person several times in a row, and when the Fusang warrior was in doubt, he pulled up the wounded sailor and quickly retreated, and asked in a hurry; "What kind of reputation are you doing, why did you start fighting?"

"Sir, these bastards are blackmailing us."

"Can you still go, get out of here."

He Jiaben pushed the wounded sailor a few steps away, and at this time, the down-and-out warriors who were shocked by the gunfire had already reacted, holding sharp swords and continuing to surround them.

"Stop, or I'm going to shoot." He Jiaben quickly withdrew the empty cartridge case of the Colt revolver, loaded it with new bullets, and held the gun in the palm of his hand.

Every Australian man is a skilled gunner, and he has practiced good marksmanship in the wild to hunt rabbits on horseback, which has become a major pastime for Queensland residents, and they will call friends to go hunting in the wild every holiday.

Facing the muzzle of the black hole, these fierce and down-and-out warriors hesitated, and they were grunting loudly, not knowing what they were saying, maybe they were emboldening each other.

He Jiaben looked at the several wounded sailors who fell in a pool of blood, and his heart was full of anger, and he raised his hand and fired a shot at the fierce warrior who was forced to the front, this shot hit the head and shot him in the head.

The heavy corpse fell, red and white.

"My lord, please don't shoot, I'll tell them to put down their murder weapons, no one will be harmed, please don't let the situation escalate......," a black-clad policeman rushed in, speaking English loudly, followed by several policemen with sticks in their hands.

He Jiaben glanced at it with a cold gaze, did not answer, and the muzzle of the gun was still pointed steadily forward.

Anyone who dares to act rashly, he doesn't mind sending a few more to hell.

This is the bullshit police have been haunted around, and no one can be seen when the conflict occurs, if you say that you don't know or have a secret collusion, you really lie to a fool!

"Are you a police officer? Immediately tell these thugs to put down their murder weapons, otherwise I can't guarantee that I can bear it...... The urge to blow their pig's head with one shot. He Jiaben shouted.

"Your Excellency, please stop being angry, I promise that nothing more unreasonable will happen and cause you trouble."

"Trouble, who are you?"

"I'm Arinobu Yamada, the governor of Ximending, Nagasaki Prefecture, this is really a misunderstanding, we will solve it immediately, please, please give us this opportunity." This Fuso policeman, who looked like a small leader, came with a 90-degree bow and salute with a "click".

After standing up, Yamada Yushin grunted at the group of fallen samurai armed with murder weapons, and ordered them to withdraw their katanas.

These black-clad policemen were very useful against the local down-and-out samurai, and in the midst of a burst of "Hai", "Hayi", and "Trouble", the originally fierce down-and-out samurai put away their sharp swords and inserted them into their sheaths.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Yamada Arinobu, are you kidding me?" He Jiaben's face was gloomy and about to drip water, and he reprimanded the English-speaking policeman Yamada Yuxin; "I ask them to throw away all the murder weapons in their hands, kneel down and tie their hands, and confess the culprit behind the instructions for them to do this, instead of sticking the knife in the scabbard and acting as if nothing had happened, which makes me doubt that you have a tacit understanding with each other."

"Honorable Sir, please forgive me for not being able to do this." Yamada Yushin led several policemen behind him to bow 90 degrees, and said with a humble expression; "According to the tradition of Fuso, even if a samurai dies, he cannot hand over the sword in his hand, which means that there is no shame to be washed away, please understand, please."

"I can't understand, this is a naked atrocity, the majesty of the British Empire cannot be provoked, you are playing with fire, and the consequences are absolutely unbearable for Nagasaki Prefecture." He Jiaben roared.

The Queensland Goodwill Fleet flies the Red Mountain Dragon Flag, and does not normally fly the rice flag, which is only an expression of the identity of the British Overseas Self-Governing Territories, and any offense to the Queensland Fleet is an affront to the British Empire, there is no doubt about that.

Ho Ka-ben has studied in the UK for many years, and he knows very well the arrogance and sensitivity of the British, and knows that the violence that is taking place in the downtown area of Nagasaki Prefecture today is enough to turn into a war.

The majesty of the British Empire cannot be provoked, this sentence is not just talk, it will really kill people......
