Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Zhang Peilun cried and said: "It is not a pity for the death of a subordinate official, I regret it! I feel ashamed in my heart! I..."

Zuo Zongtang said: "I am sorry for the emperor! The Fujian navy and Mawei military port that the emperor carefully built were all destroyed in my hands. Keelung, Taiwan fell! It was also because of the loss of command of the sea. The position was bombarded by French ships and had to retreat."

Zhang Peilun couldn't say a word, his mind went blank.

"Come here, pull Zhang Peilun out of the tent and rectify the Fa on the spot." Zuo Zongtang ordered.

"twitter."

Two soldiers came in from outside the tent, set up Zhang Peilun on one left and one on the right and dragged him out of the tent.

The next morning, Taiwan Island.Sun Kaihua sat in the tent in the middle of the fort, holding a telescope to observe the front. At the other end of the fort, the soldiers were nervously repairing the fort.Clouds and mist shrouded in the distance, and several huge warships were gathering in Yuge.

"One, two, three..." Sun Kaihua put down the binoculars and said, "Damn, there were only three yesterday, why are there fifteen today?"

"Commander Sun, I heard from the foreigner newspaper on the island that the night before yesterday, when our Keelung position was bombarded by French ships, the Fujian navy was wiped out in the Mawei military port. Yesterday, Commander Zuo had already executed Mr. Zhang Peilun's military law." A soldier said.

Sun Kaihua looked at the soldier in surprise, and cursed: "Damn, if the French warship stays there for a day, I will not be able to take back Keelung for a day! Their cannons are so powerful that they can directly hit the Keelung position. I can't let brother Let’s use them as targets for foreigners. Those bastards in the navy are too useless, it’s over so soon.”

The soldier frowned and said, "Commander Sun, look at this posture, the French want to occupy the whole island. You see, there are ordinary artillery shells, and they are raising the national flag. What do they want?"

"The order goes on, no one can sleep tonight. Stand by at the fort, ready to fight."

"Cha." The soldiers left in response.

At this time, a group of soldiers escorted several passenger boats to the shore.Several foreign businessmen chased after the soldiers and chatted loudly.The soldiers had no time to explain, and drove the merchant off the ship without saying a word.

After a while, the soldiers punched big holes in the clothes with hammers and other things, and sank the ship into the harbor. The foreign businessman shouted distressedly: "You barbaric orientals, this is my painstaking effort in decades of business... ..."

The huge sunken ship was immediately surrounded by soldiers around the fort, forming a strong protective circle.Businessman John led a few foreign businessmen and said angrily: "Master Sun, look at your soldiers. They are unreasonable. They even sunk our merchant ship in the port."

"It's my order, John, your tea is really good. I've finished the one I gave you last time, bring me some more sometime." Sun Kaihua looked at the angry John with a smile on his face.

Several foreign businessmen shouted one after another: "It is your business that you fought the war, and you have to pay compensation for sinking our ship."

"If you don't stop this behavior, we will find your emperor and sue you."

Sun Kaihua took off his top-wearing flower feathers, and said loudly with a green face: "I'm not afraid of anyone you sue. Now it's a war, and it's a helpless move to requisition your merchant ships. After this battle, I promise to compensate you for your losses." .”

Suddenly, several foreign businessmen fell silent.

Someone whispered: "That's true, but if you lose, who do we ask for compensation?"

"Yeah, you don't know where you are going? Where are we going to lose money?"

"Keelung is gone, and Huwei is the last frontier. Losing Huwei is equivalent to losing the whole of Taiwan. There is no danger in the future. Do you understand? So we must win this battle. Someone Sun came to Taiwan I have issued a military order before, and the island is here! No matter if I win or lose, I am here and will never leave. If I lose, you will carry my body to our emperor to accompany me." Sun Kaihua seriously Said.

Sun Kaihua was generous and passionate, and he said a thousand words. Several foreign businessmen bowed their heads and were speechless.John looked at Sun Kaihua and said, "Okay, Mr. Sun. I believe you are a man of faith. Let's go."

John just took a few steps when he was stopped by Sun Kaihua: "John, don't forget to bring me some catties of tea."

The Lion Wakes Up Chapter 39 The Battle of Taiwan

At dawn the next day, Sun Kaihua was still fully armed and sitting in the middle of the fort. Apart from crowds of soldiers around the fort, there were Taiwanese people who came to help carry the shells spontaneously and reporters from newspapers from various countries watching the battle.

The sea was calm.At this time, John hurried over from the port of Keelung.Sun Kaihua looked at him warily.

"Master Sun." John shouted loudly while running.

"What's the matter?" Sun Kaihua vaguely sensed something.

"Mr. Toure sent me." John didn't turn the corner either.

"Oh? I asked you to be a lobbyist."

"The strength of the two armies is clear at a glance. Mr. Toure doesn't want to hurt the people on the island. I hope Mr. Sun can..."

"Want me to surrender? He is dreaming." Sun Kaihua said coldly.

"Master Sun."

"John, don't talk about it. We are friends, don't let me turn my face." Sun Kaihua took out a piece of paper from behind, wrote a big "war" on it with a pen, and then handed the paper to John.Said: "You go to Toure and say that I am waiting for him here."

John reluctantly took the paper, turned and left.

After a while, there was a storm on the sea.More than ten French warships sailed towards the fort silently.Four troop carriers followed.

The waves beat against the shore, making a crashing sound.Inside the Huwei Fort are the Qing troops with loaded guns and live ammunition. They are waiting in full force, watching the French warship vigilantly.At this time, the French ship gradually approached the coast, getting closer, getting closer.There was a sudden bang, and then a series of shells spit out from the muzzle of the French ship. The shells landed on the fort and exploded.

The Qing soldiers immediately fired back with artillery, and some civilians also actively helped to transport the shells.Because he was afraid that the French warships would hit the ammunition boxes of the Qing army, Sun Kaihua set the place where the ammunition was stored one kilometer away from the fort.However, Sun Kaihua had limited troops, and the local people spontaneously took up the responsibility of transporting the shells.

Sun Kaihua, who likes to drink during the war, held a wine bottle and patrolled the forts, giving orders from time to time: "Hurry up, fire the cannon. Hit it lower. You are fucking blind."

The bullet flew past Sun Kaihua's head and around him.He remained motionless, staring at the river.The soldiers loaded their shells nervously and returned fire.

At this time, Toure, the naval commander of the French Far East Army, was on the Elegance, looking at the Qing army's position with a telescope.He was shocked when he saw Sun Kaihua!Turning around, he asked, "Who is that person holding the wine bottle?"

"Oh, he is General Sun Kaihua. I heard that he is the favorite general of Zuo Zongtang, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army! He is the defense commander of Taiwan Island. I heard that he likes our red wine the most." An adjutant replied.

"He fought with a wine bottle. He really looks like Napoleon." Toure put down his binoculars.

After a while, the troop carrier approached the shore, and Toure shouted loudly: "Gunfire cover, the army landed."

Sun Huahua saw it, but there was nothing he could do.Although the range of the fort was enough to sink the troop carrier, the powerful artillery of the French ship made the Qing army on the fort unable to lift their heads, let alone aim and fire.They could only slap indiscriminately toward the beach.

The French troop carrier arrived at the seaside in an instant, and a wave of French troops poured in.

Sun Kaihua said to the soldiers next to him: "Looking at this posture, there must be more than 2000 people on the four ships."

"My lord, this is not what you expected. The foreign devils have already entered our ambush today, so you can order them. Keep them as dinner for the fish and shrimp here." A soldier said.

"Changed tactics, let's get closer, let's fight hand-to-hand. The French's gunboats are more powerful than I imagined, and our ambush is still within his range. The battalion of troops turned into gunboats as soon as they opened fire. The target, tell the brothers, put down the gun and raise the knife. When I give the order, I will rush out, and those who retreat will be cut!" Sun Kaihua drank wildly at the wine bottle.

"twitter."

Sun Kaihua was holding a wine bottle, staring fixedly at the soldiers holding the French flag.

When there were still 50 meters away from the fort, Sun Kaihua threw away the wine bottle.Slowly pulled out the big knife from his waist, and shouted at the Qing army: "Brothers, go."

The brave Sun Kaihua rushed all the way and opened a bloody road.Going straight to the raised soldiers, Sun Kaihua raised his knife and dropped it, and the French soldiers fell to the ground one after another.Seeing Sun Kaihua's bravery, the French did not dare to fight recklessly.They dodged one after another, and at this time, two teams of Qing troops appeared from nowhere around the French army.A siege was formed against the French army. At this time, Sun Kaihua had already reached the seaside.After boarding the troop carrier, the soldier holding the flag saw Sun Kaihua's bravery and escaped onto the ship.

Sun Kaihua dodged quickly, dodging the horizontal stabs of two French soldiers, stabbed the soldier's chest with force, and snatched the French flag.Seeing that the national flag was captured, several French troops came to besiege one after another.Sun Kaihua held a flag in his left hand and a knife in his right, and killed several French soldiers one by one.

Holding the French flag, Sun Kaihua shouted loudly: "Brothers, the French flag is already in my hands, and this is what makes a difference. Go!"

The French army saw that the national flag was captured, and the Qing army was brave.They seized the boats and retreated one after another, how could Sun Kaihua let them run away.An artillery team on the right side of the coast, which was originally used as an ambush, had already bombarded and sunk all the troop carriers docked on the shore.

By the time the gunboats at sea reacted and bombarded the artillery team's ambush site, the artillery team had already withdrawn without a trace.
