Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 319
He couldn't help guessing in his heart what kind of person Liu Meng, the actual commander of Dongjiang, was like.

Not long after, Lanx, who went down to the pier to look around, finally saw Liu Meng and others riding horses in the distance.

When Lankers looked up, he was surprised to see Liu Meng, who was leading a pure white horse.

Gein Liu Meng's age is really too young, it looks like he is only 22 or [-] years old.

In fact, he is not to blame for this, because after Liu Meng came to this world, his appearance hardly changed, so even though Liu Meng was 26 years old, he still looked the same as when he was 22 when he came.

It was also the first time he had seen such a young person who looked like a governor.

Liu Meng rode his horse and came to Lankers, looked at the dozens of Dutch soldiers guarding him, and said to Lankers unceremoniously:

"I don't care what you are here for, order your soldiers...disarm! Don't let my soldiers do anything, kill your people!"

After the interpreter tremblingly translated Liu Meng's words, Lankes looked at Liu Meng angrily, and protested:
"No! This is unreasonable. I represent the Kingdom of the Netherlands. You can't do this! I protest..."

Liu Meng couldn't understand Dutch, so he waved impatiently and interrupted:

"I know, you must speak Chinese, speak Chinese! Otherwise, I will order my soldiers to kill you immediately!"

As soon as Liu Meng's words fell, Lankers, who had been pretending not to understand Chinese, immediately thumped, raised his hand hurriedly, and shouted in broken Chinese:

"No, no, honorable governor, you can't do this! Didn't you Chinese people say: When two countries are at war, don't you kill the envoy?
Please, my lord general, give me, Ryukyu Governor Lankers, and my subordinates the respect they deserve! "

Liu Meng heard the words, shook his head and said:

"No! You are wrong, Lankers! I think you are the commander of the Dutch fleet that attacked us with Zheng Zhilong last month! Since you led troops to attack us, you are the enemy!

With me, you can only be the defeated party. According to the defeat rules, I have the right to make you surrender!
I'll give you three breaths to consider, should you surrender immediately, or should you hold back? "

After finishing speaking, with a wave of his hand, all the Dongjiang soldiers gathered around raised their Minie rifles, loaded and loaded them, and aimed at the Dutchmen!

Even the three warships were guarded with rifles by the Dongjiang soldiers who also rushed up.

The next moment, Shang Kexi, who was beside Liu Meng, began to count proudly, 'One. . .two. . . '

Before the words were spoken, Lankers was already sweating profusely and raised his hands and shouted:

"Calm down, calm down, General, we surrender!"

After finishing speaking, Lankers turned around and shouted at the Dutch soldiers who were frightened behind him.

Hearing Lankers' shout, these Dutch soldiers immediately put down the quick-fire rifles in their hands as if relieved.

Liu Meng watched the Dutchmen surrender, nodded in satisfaction, and said to Lanx who had turned around, his face still pale, and Shang Kexi:
"Okay! I have to say, Lanx, you made a very wise decision! Please rest assured, I will not kill prisoners easily! Now, order your soldiers to line up one by one, put your hands on your head, and go to the prisoner-of-war camp Temporary placement!
Also, please warn your soldiers, don't make any small moves!Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences of doing so! "

Seeing that Liu Meng's tone was indifferent, but his attitude was firm, Lankers knew that there was absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter.

He wanted to go back alive, so he had to cooperate with the order.

Under the order of Lankers, all the soldiers of the two warships, including Lankers, lined up with their heads in their hands, escorted by Shang Kexi's soldiers, and went to the temporary detention camp.

Seeing Lanx and others being taken away, Shang Kexi couldn't help asking:
"Marshal, isn't it a bit..."

Speaking of this, he didn't know whether to continue, so he stopped talking.

Liu Meng glanced at Shang Kexi, and said:
"Do you want to say, is it a bit dishonest for me to do this? No! Let me tell you, there is no such thing as a war between two countries without killing them! They are all my enemies in Dongjiang Town, and I will never be lenient when dealing with them , come one and I will kill one, come a pair and I will kill another pair!"

This, Liu Meng can only say this, he can't explain to him, it is these foreigners who formed the Eight-Nation Allied Forces in later generations, plundered the inexhaustible wealth of the Chinese nation, and killed an unknown number of Chinese people.

It will lead to the humiliation of the Chinese people for a hundred years in the future.

After Liu Meng finished speaking, he turned around and said to Shang Kexi:
"Those two Dutch battleships are still usable, and our naval guns are also good combat power! It's gratifying, get ready! You will have a time to fight naval battles in the future!"

When Liu Meng's words were mentioned, Shang Kexi was overjoyed immediately, how could he not know what Liu Meng meant.

The Dutch were captured, and those Dutch who were in the open sea would naturally not let go, and would definitely send warships to the Yellow Sea.

Then, in the future, there will be very few naval battles between the two sides!

Thinking of this, Shang Kexi said in surprise:
"Yes! Commander! Just watch my Dongjiang navy's performance! Hahaha!"

After finishing speaking, Shang Kexi laughed wildly.

Next, more than 800 people including Lankes were tragically detained in the camp and had to participate in physical labor every day, which is called reform through labor.

Shang Kexi took turns sending sailors aboard thirteen warships every day to train naval battle formations and artillery shooting accuracy.

And after months of waiting for Lankes and others to come back, the governor of the East India Company, Wei Malang, finally guessed that something happened to Lankes and others.

Either he was killed by the other party, or he was imprisoned. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be ignored.

Otherwise, what would the governors of various places who followed him think?
But it is not up to him alone to start a war with Phi Dao.

It takes orders from the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor to gather all the warships in East Asia and declare war on Phi Island.

Wei Malang listed the whole incident, as well as the benefits gained from taking Phi Island, into a document, and sent someone back to the base camp.

But this will take time. After all, at the current sailing speed of wooden sailboats, it is not possible to send information back to the base camp in a day or two.

Liu Meng also took advantage of this time to strengthen his armed forces, and his troops were divided into six parts:

In order to meet the next big battle, the navy was expanded to 8000 warships by Liu Meng, and each battleship was equipped with [-] naval soldiers, and [-] marines were equipped with Mini rifles, a total of [-] people. The main weapon is armed naval guns and some quick-fire rifles;
Cavalry troops, 5000 people each with two horses, equipped with a full set of alloy armor, alloy waist knife and three-meter-long alloy cavalry gun;
