Fang Tianjie and the others arrived in Da Nang around noon on July 18, which was the hottest time of the day.

Arriving at the sea area of one or two kilometers of the port city, Li Jun ordered the fleet to stop advancing. After discussing with Fang Tianjie and Zhu Wu, he went ashore with Gu Xingye, Pang Wanchun, and Xie Bao with four steamships and two hundred special soldiers.

The Gu family bought a piece of land in the port to build a restaurant, on the one hand, to provide food for the ships coming and going, and 10,000 noodles to provide a place for their own fleet.

The four steamboats slowly drove towards the shore, and the four leaders observed the situation on the shore with binoculars.

Li Jun and Gu Xingye were in the same boat, and suddenly Li Jun said: "Chengye, the situation is not right, it seems that someone is besieging your Gu Family Restaurant." ”

Gu Xingye followed the direction of Li Jun's finger and looked at the binoculars, and indeed saw a lot of people standing in front of his restaurant, some holding sticks, some holding knives and guns, and some holding torches......

The big shopkeeper of Da Nang Salou is a distant cousin of the head of the Gu family, known as Gu Baye, who is in his fifties. He led hundreds of people to open a restaurant here, while purchasing spices, gems and other materials needed by the Gu family for the Gu family, and also taking care of their business.

The wine used in Gujia Restaurant is a high-grade wine supplied by Wantong Chamber of Commerce, and the cooking method is also learned by sending people to Zhaojia Wharf in Nanjing, and the business is particularly good. Most of the ships that come and go are willing to stay in Zhaojia Restaurant.

Da Nang was a free port of nations open to the outside world, and the Annamites had only 1,000 men stationed here at that time, who were responsible for collecting a certain management fee for the ships coming and going. There are shops opened by the Central Plains, as well as restaurants and shops opened by Persians, Tianzhu people, Egyptians, Dali people and Fusang people. Together with the local indigenous people of Annam, there are seven or eight thousand permanent residents here.

Because it was far away from the ruling center of Annam, and the king of Annam was now raising an army to invade Dali, there was no time to take care of these wild places in the south.

Therefore, although it is easy to find money here, the management of public security is chaotic, and some merchants who have lost their capital, and some shipwrecked sailors wander here, often doing some business without capital.

The Chinese people are smart and studious, and their ability to survive, adapt, and endure hardships is very strong, and the business of dozens of Chinese shops in the city is very good, which has aroused the jealousy of some Persians, Egyptians, and Tianzhu people, who often cause trouble without incident, deliberately cause trouble, and take some outlaws to destroy the business of the Chinese.

There was no way, and a few smart people among the Chinese called on the Chinese people to unite and work together with the outside world, so everyone discussed the establishment of an Annan Chinese Association.

Due to the big business of the Gu family restaurant and the large number of people, the Gu shopkeeper was promoted as the owner, and the other three shopkeepers who knew some martial arts and were not good were promoted to the deputy owners. A shop or restaurant was harassed, and everyone sent someone to cheer them on, and if they were reasonable, they would talk about it, and if they were unreasonable, they would not be afraid to fight.

Since then, the safety of the Chinese has been basically guaranteed. Seeing that they could not take advantage of the Chinese, the homeless outlaws united with the local natives, often fighting with the Chinese, and sometimes even calling the natives in the mountains to help.

The leader of the 1,000 Annam army that maintained law and order was obviously biased towards the natives and Persians and other Westerners, and when the Chinese were in the upper hand, he pretended to uphold justice and led troops to the scene in time to cease fire between the two sides. If the Westerners and natives have the advantage, they will hide far away and ignore them, allowing the natives and Westerners to fight and take advantage of the benefits.

When the Chinese saw that the natives came too much and couldn't resist it, they had no choice but to take the gold and silver, withdraw all of them to the Gu family wine, and guard the building.

Those people took the supplies from the Chinese store, besieged them for two days, and divided the things, so that the leader of the Annam army pretended to lead people to drive them away.

This fight and bloodshed was caused by an indigenous man named Li Yuanjia who wanted to forcibly buy a batch of porcelain from the Chinese Li Shixian, and he asked Li Shixian to deal with him at a loss. Of course, Li Shixian refused, and if the two sides did not speculate, it would cause a fight.

The two Western thugs he brought with him killed Li Shixian, and Li Shixian was killed on the spot.

In the past, although the fighting broke the muscles and bones, it never caused deaths. Therefore, the Chinese villagers who came to Wen Xun were all filled with righteous indignation and fought back, and the two murderers were also killed and injured by them.

Both sides know that this time the matter is a big deal. All the Chinese, without waiting for a few reminders and notices from the owners, after the incident, hastily buried the deceased, and all gathered at the Gujia Restaurant to discuss countermeasures and tide over the difficulties together.

Early the next morning, the natives and Westerners gathered a total of thousands of people to besiege the Gu family restaurant.

The Gujia Restaurant is very sturdy. The lower floors are made of stone strips, and are made of storerooms and kitchens, and although there are many windows, they are so small that no child can get in. The gate is made of hard red pine and is riveted with thick iron sheets. Dinner on the second floor, accommodation on the third and fourth floors.

The Gu family is equipped with bows and arrows, and the hundreds of left-behind personnel are well-trained family members, and they are better than the Annan dialect team in terms of combat and bows and arrows, but the number is a little small.

After the Chinese hid in, as long as the door on the first floor was closed, the archers were guarding the window, and the arrows from afar and stones were hit, and the besieging people generally only had dry eyes and no way.

The indigenous and Western coalition forces attacked all morning, and although they blocked the bows and arrows with the help of wooden planks, one group attacked downstairs, but they could not withstand the stones falling on their heads, and after wounding a hundred and ten people, they finally retreated.

After lunch, a Persian offered to attack with fire. So, the leader of the natives and the leader of the Westerners asked his men to prepare fuel and strips of cloth to make improvised rockets.

The climate here is hot, and it is already easy to cause fires. Therefore, once a large number of rockets are fired on the planks above the second floor, it will inevitably cause a fire. Therefore, the fire attack plan is too poisonous.

Seeing that the hundreds of Chinese in Da Nang are facing extinction, who will pull them back from the county of death?
