Chapter 665

There was a moment when Hong Chengchou really thought he couldn't hold on. The outer city wall, which had been under construction for several years, was bombarded for seven days before it collapsed. Then a tidal wave of British soldiers rushed up.

In fact, it is a bit inaccurate to say that these were British soldiers, but it is accurate to say that they should be considered Indian soldiers. These guys with strips of cloth wrapped around their heads are very fierce, especially those with dogleg knives in their hands, charging like madmen in the rain of bullets.

Hong Chengchou actually didn't have many troops in his hands, only one garrison division plus the hastily recruited Ming and more than 3,000 Japanese people.

Most of the Ming immigrants came from the Cao Gang, who were relocated to Hainan Island and then sailed to Xinjiapo in batches. Now there are only a few batches, and the number of people is only in the early 10,000s. Half of them are still old, sick, sick and women, and it is better to expect them to fight than to expect the sow to go up to the tree.

The guns were all old-fashioned flintlock guns, and for traditional reasons, there were a lot of mortars. The main reason is that mortars are really easy to make, as long as the shells can keep up with the barrels, there are problems with the ready-made wood.

Relying on these things, Hong Chengchou insisted on it for seven days. The outer city walls were breached, and the inner city walls were also in danger.

Just when Hong Chengchou thought that his limit was approaching, he suddenly heard the sound of a cannon on the sea. At that moment, he knew that he couldn't die, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl and cry.

In fact, just three months ago, Hong Chengchou thought that he could go to India and enjoy the fruits of years of hard work. Pity! There was a little bit of a hiccup in between, and the name of that vignette was love.

Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui's liaison is called Hong Huang!

It is not surprising that this brother was able to gain such trust from Hong Chengchou, because he is Hong Chengchou's only son. As the legal heir of the next generation of the Hong family, there is no reason not to help the family find a road to heaven.

Regarding his father's situation in the imperial court, Hong Huang is very clear in his heart. Li Xiao didn't want to see a general, especially a general who had surrendered to Tartar. Hong Chengchou's little black history is absolutely impossible to gain the trust of Li Xiao or Sun Chengzong.

Don't look at the name of the Governor of Singapore City, it can be said that it is only a prefect level. From a feudal official who holds military power, to now he is just a prefect, and no one can stand the big gap in it.

There is no place to stay here! In his new home, Hong Chengchou has gained an international perspective. He suddenly realized that the world was big and he wanted to see it.

So he sent his son Hong Huang to India, and under the recommendation of an acquaintance, he met Wu Sangui, who was indistinguishable in India. When the gentleman and the former gentleman met for the first time, both parties had a feeling of hating each other.

The honeymoon period of tenderness and sweetness between the two parties lasted for seven days.

Seven days later, Hong Huang returned home. In fact, Hong Huang wants to go back to Singapore City, which is nothing, but the bad thing is that he left Mumbai with a person - Liu Ruyi!

No one knows when these two hooked up, only that Liu Ru, who is seven years older than Hong Huang, is more in love than Gangjian. When he first returned to Singapore City, Hong Huang even swore an oath. If Hong Chengchou dares to send her back to Mumbai, India, he will wield a knife from the palace and make the Hong family extinct.

Hong Chengchou was so angry that he beat his chest and grabbed his hair, but there was nothing he could do.

In this life, my wife has married a lot, and after arriving at the new home slope, I also accepted a room of blue-eyed wives. But none of these wives gave birth to a son and a half daughter for him. Even after so many years, a large number of wives have not even been pregnant.

Wearing this infertility hat, Hong Chengchou often feels sorry for his ancestors. Fortunately, Hong Huang inherited the family business, and the Hong family is not the last child. Seeing this lone seedling in the ground, he wants to swing a knife from the palace. How can Hong Chengchou be willing!

In desperation, he could only send people north to report to the imperial court, and at the same time reorganize the army for war. Of course, he wants to report that your son kidnapped Wu Sangui's wife, causing Wu Sangui to retaliate.

Rather, it should be emphasized again and again that the British regard their new home as a thorn in the flesh and want to get rid of it as soon as possible. It is hoped that the imperial court will send troops as soon as possible to assist Xinjiapo against the British army.

Wu Sangui, who was on the other side of Mumbai, heard that his wife had run away with his good brother, and he immediately felt that his head was full of the color of the forest.

accepted Lao Tzu's warm hospitality, but abducted his wife, and his uncle couldn't bear it with his aunt. Wu Sangui ordered all his troops and horses, prepared for three months, and crossed the sea on a warship to attack Xinjiapo City.

Bad luck is just about to be completed. Soon when he was able to catch the pair of adulterers and throw them into the sea to feed the sharks, Li Xiu arrived with his ironclad fleet.

Chen Laohu carefully supported Li Xiu, although Li Xiu usurped his captain's rights during the naval battle, Chen Laohu did not dare to complain at all. As an old man in the navy, he knew very well that he should not offend this second master when Li Xiu was running away.

Li Xiu hung his arms and wrapped gauze around his upper body. Helped down the ladder by his subordinates!

From the dock to the new home of Po City, it has been turned into a scorched earth by rockets. It shines against the new home Po Castle that is still smoking in the distance!

Two divisions of the Marine Corps swooped down on the city of Singapore like tigers descending from the mountains. Purge the encircled British army!

These Indian soldiers, trained by the British, were fierce and did not surrender even when surrounded. They occupied a courtyard or a small pile of rubble, and resisted stubbornly with the repeating rifles in their hands.

In the face of such an enemy, the approach of the marines is mortars. A cover shot past, and there were basically no living people in that place.

The soldiers lined the streets, alternately covering the advance. Not far behind him, on the rooftops, snipers keep an eye on the streets, ready to deal with the cronylacetes wielding.

These guys are very difficult to deal with, and they don't seem to be afraid of death at all. The bullet hit them and watched the blood burst, and if it had been someone else, they might have fallen to the ground. But these obviously mentally abnormal guys can still rush forward until the last drop of blood is drained.

However, in the face of the sophisticated tactics of the Marine Corps, all of these have turned into floating clouds. The Indian soldiers who tried to get close to the Marines would be beaten into a sieve by the platoon of guns that cut their heads and covered their faces if they dared to come out.

The Marines quickly surrounded the remaining enemy, and the sound of gunfire became more and more sparse. Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out of the bunker with his son and walked out of the inner city wall. If nothing else, he should have a lot of credit for sticking to his new home Pocheng this time. I believe that this time, I may be able to gain Li Xiao's trust.

"See Commander! Your injuries don't get in the way. On the dock, Hong Chengchou saw Li Xiu. Seeing Li Xiu's body stained with blood and hanging his arms with bandages, his heart immediately became nervous. If this second master hangs up here, Li Xiao will definitely go crazy. Maybe one day when he finds out the truth, he will behead his Hong family.

"Out of the way! How's the new home Po City? Are our casualties heavy? Seeing the shattered city walls of Xinjiapo, Li Xiu wanted to know what was going on inside the city.

"The British army has been attacking the city for seven days, and the outer city has been breached. Our Ming people have all withdrawn to the inner city, and more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers have been killed in the battle, and there are hundreds of wounded. It is not known how many shops and storefronts were destroyed in the city, and it is difficult to count the property damage.

Ay......! After two years of repair, it exhausted the new home of countless natives. It was only seven days to be beaten like this, and just a little bit of popularity, this battle was all gone. Seeing that his brainchild in the past two years was plagued like this by the British, Hong Chengchou was very distressed.

"It's good to finally hold it, and after two days of rest, I will take my troops to India and ask why I attacked my Daming fortress for no reason. I hope they give Lao Tzu a satisfactory answer, otherwise Lao Tzu will plow Mumbai. ”

"Commander, let's go to the inner city to rest for the time being, your wounds are ......!" Compared with Singapore City, which is full of smoke, Hong Chengchou is more concerned about Li Xiu's injuries.

"The wounds on the commander's body are naturally treated by our navy's military doctors, so you don't need to worry about it." Chen Laohu glanced at Hong Chengchou with slanted eyes, the new home Pocheng was like this, this guy actually came out to visit Li Xiu in a straight official uniform. You can figure out where this guy was when he was fighting.

Li Xiu glanced at Hong Chengchou and hesitated a little. The order given to him by Li Xiao was that after seeing it, he immediately locked it up and brought it into Beijing to wait for trial. But in front of the situation, it is obvious that Hong Chengchou also insisted to the end and did not surrender. It is said that he is in touch with foreign countries...... It seems somewhat untenable.

Think about it! Li Xiu still said: "Lord Hong, this is Lord Sun Yuanhua. Previously, he was the governor of Gansu in the Ming Dynasty, and now he is transferred to the governor of Xinjiapocheng. As for Lord Hong, the imperial court has another appointment. Please get on board! ”

Considering that Hong Chengchou had stayed in his new home Pocheng for seven days and seven nights after all, Li Xiu treated him politely. There were no ropes tied up, and no escorts were made.

Hong Chengchou was taken aback, he didn't expect Li Xiu to remove him from his post so suddenly. Especially when he had just led his troops and held on to his new home, Pocheng.

"Your Excellency Commander, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, ......!"

"Don't say more, when I return to the capital to see my eldest brother, there will naturally be a new appointment. Don't worry, I will write to tell my eldest brother the truth about the situation here. If you are my loyal minister and good general of the Ming Dynasty, you will definitely not be wronged.

As for your family...... let them go back to Daming with the ship that transports the wounded soldiers. There are naval escorts along the way, and there will not be the slightest problem with their safety. After Li Xiu finished speaking, several marines walked out of his side.

Standing at Hong Chengchou's side, he stared at him fiercely. The guards brought by Hong Chengchou were like quails at this time, and none of them dared to stand up, or even to look at the marines.

Hong Chengchou looked at Li Xiu, his eyes full of pleading.

"Lord Hong, the commander of my family spoke politely. If you're not willing to go ...... like that, don't blame the scene for being unsightly. Chen Laohu approached Hong Chengchou.

"I'm ......!" Hong Chengchou didn't dare to speak anymore and sighed. Follow the soldiers around you and walk to the warship docked on the dock.

"Sun Yuanhua! You are now the governor of this new home of Po Castle, and the Japanese people over there are called Tagawa Nanaemon. All the people here are under his command, and of course he must also be under your command. These are Hong Chengchou's subordinate officers, and you now take them to start your duties.

Repair the walls as soon as possible and restore this place to its original state. My eldest brother said that in three years, if Singapore City is prosperous, it will be prosperous. Your official position can be promoted one more level. Well done! ”

"No! Thank you, Commander, thank you. Sun Yuanhua almost fainted. The governor of Gansu is also a fourth-grade official, and when he arrived in this new home, Pocheng, he didn't figure out how many officials he was.

However, he still knows the system in the imperial court, and if the governor or governor of a province rises up, he will enter the ministries as a squire. If the squire is a good man, it is not impossible to mix up a Shangshu in a few years.

As soon as he thought of which ministry he could enter as a waiter, Sun Yuanhua's heart was full of energy.

"You! It's you, take the old man to the official office. Sun Yuanhua saluted Li Xiu and pointed to an official to order.

"No!" The official was flattered and took Sun Yuanhua to his new home Pocheng, where the smoke was billowing out.

"Repair the ships as soon as possible, replenish the ammunition of the ships, especially the arsenal ships. The empty boat, carrying the wounded back to Daming, reported these situations to my eldest brother in 1510. ”

"No!"

With Li Xiu's order, the dock immediately became busy. Countless people are unloading goods and unloading those machines and equipment. Li Xiao wants to set up an arms factory here, otherwise the arms will have to be transported in Daming in the event of a war, and it will be a big trouble.

The mistakes made by the Mongols were not wanted to be repeated.

Sun Yuanhua led people to run around the city, commanding his subordinates to do this and that from time to time, and never did it himself.

Until they came across a section of charred beams, under which a child was smashed. The child was only three or four years old, his big eyes looked out in horror, and the huge sandalwood beams pressed on the body of the three or four year old, and in another day or two, he might be suffocated to death.

Apparently! Hong Chengchou said that the people of the Ming Dynasty had withdrawn into the inner city, which was very watery.

"What are you looking at? Lives matter! Sun Yuanhua took the lead in walking up to the rubble, and the officials behind him hurriedly rushed up, and the big guy shouted to move the beams away. But a poor little fellow, holding the beams with both hands, even forgot to cry.

The Marines annihilated the British who were still resisting, and Li Yingying and Zuo Liangyu sent small detachments to shoot at the remaining gangs of the British army. Not to mention, there are a few of them who are really right. Although this guy is wearing a pair of very gorgeous shoes, he is holding a pillar with a thick bowl mouth, and he saws it off with a "bang" and "boom".

The remnants of the British army slowly retreated towards India. But Li Xiao knows that their scientific and technological level and production capacity have fallen far behind.

The British army was driven into a place with a flourishing quilt, and it was disgusting to look at whoever stepped on a minefield.
