Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 381 Ending and Doubts

When the natives heard about the money robbery, their movements became noticeably faster.

The Dutchman continued.

"And those Tang women whose skin is smoother than silk, don't you want them?"

"Go into the concession and get as many Tang women as you want!"

"You can play with me as you like. You can take her home as your wife and she will give birth to your children..."

After these words were spoken, the natives who were pushing the artillery carts became noticeably more motivated.

Facts have proved that robbing money, food and women is indeed the most powerful mobilization slogan.

Well, it’s the same in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad!
However, just as these natives were pushing the artillery carts towards the Tang Concession.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the distance, and the humming sound of shells breaking through the air.

But before the natives could react.

The next moment, a shell fell from the sky.

With a loud bang, it fell into a building on the street.

The moment the shell hit the ground, a loud explosion was heard.

Flames rose up with a bang, and a shock wave quickly spread out with the impact point as the center.

The Dutch gunner George was blown away and fell to the ground.

When he came to his senses, he got up from the ground.

I just felt a sharp pain in my chest and internal organs, and when I touched my head, my hands felt sticky.

Looking down, he saw that his hands were covered in blood.

He opened his mouth, and a fishy-sweet taste came from his teeth, with blood constantly flowing out.

The sky and the earth were shaking before my eyes!
With a thud, George fell to the ground and stopped breathing.

The dead can no longer die!

Although the shell did not fall near him, the shock wave still affected him.

It directly shattered his internal organs!
"what……"

"Help!"

"Oh, God……"

In the chaos, the streets were littered with corpses.

Screams and wails filled the air.

A Dutch gunner climbed up from the ground, covered in dust.

He looked around and spoke anxiously.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

"Our position has been exposed. If we don't move now, the shells will hit us again..."

As he spoke, the Dutchman's voice trembled.

Upon hearing this, the natives around got up from the ground one after another, and hurriedly pushed the artillery carts and tried to leave the place.

……

"I'm sorry, Captain. I haven't fired for a long time. My hands are wet."

"I'll definitely hit it next time!"

The gunner grinned and said somewhat embarrassedly.

Wang Hui's mouth twitched, and without saying much, he just waved his hand to signal the gunner to reload and prepare to fire.

……

On the other side, the natives got up from the ground and pushed the artillery towards the concession.

But they didn't even have time to take a few steps!
There was another loud bang.

A shell dropped from the sky with a buzzing sound that cut through the air, and this time it landed right in the crowd.

The next moment, a loud explosion sounded.

The shock wave mixed with flames swept through, sweeping away everything around.

Several natives near the impact point were swept away by the shock wave, their bodies torn into pieces, and their limbs and arms flew everywhere.

The nearest wall was directly covered in blood and flesh and turned blood red.

The scene is shocking!

……

"See, I told you the next shot will hit the target, right?"

The gunner said with a smug look on his face.

It was as if he was trying to prove that there was absolutely no problem with his artillery skills.

Wang Hui on the side gave him a thumbs up and said.

"Stop talking nonsense and come on, shoot again!"

Upon hearing this, the gunner nodded immediately and began to operate the cannon.

……

boom!
boom!
boom!
Several artillery shots were heard in succession.

Shells continued to fall among the crowd of natives pushing the artillery.

In the explosion, the natives suffered heavy casualties.

However, since there was only one artillery piece in the concession that could fire indirect ballistic missiles, the firepower density was ultimately a bit low.

Although two native artillery pieces were destroyed, many gunners were killed or wounded.

But the natives still pushed the remaining two cannons to the street opposite the gate of the concession under the gunfire.

However, before the natives could set up their artillery.

The next moment, several consecutive artillery roars rang out.

Boom! Boom!
Two 75mm infantry guns and two 100mm field guns fired together.

Four shells landed one after another, and amid the explosions, the natives and the cannons they were pushing were blown into the sky.

With a loud bang, a two-story building on the street collapsed, burying alive many natives who were hiding at the corner of the street.

There were wails and screams all of a sudden.

……

Batavia Governor's Palace!
Governor Alfonso is tasting a Dutch-style fried meat roll.

Next to him was a bottle of brandy and a piece of soft toasted white bread.

Alfonso held a knife and fork, savoring the crispy fried meat rolls and taking a sip of brandy from time to time.

Looks very leisurely!

Beside him, a beautiful red-haired maid was pouring wine for him.

At this moment, there was a roar outside. Alfonso raised his eyebrows, knowing that it was the Tang people's artillery firing.

But before he could say anything, he felt his crotch get wet.

Turning around, he saw that the maid seemed to be frightened by the sudden loud noise. Her hand shook and she accidentally poured half a bottle of brandy on Alfonso's pants.

Alfonso raised his eyebrows and said in a frivolous tone.

"Oh, beautiful lady."

"If you can't I think it will be hard for you to get my forgiveness."

When the maid heard this, she immediately understood what Alfonso meant.

She rolled her eyes at him in a charming manner.
There was a knock on the door.

He signaled the maid with his eyes to hide under the table and continue under the cover of the tablecloth, then casually said to the outside to come in.

Soon, the door was pushed open.

An official from the Governor's Palace came in and reported to Alfonso.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the latest news."

"The Tang people in the concession have used artillery."

"After we reminded them, the natives were also preparing to use artillery, but as soon as their artillery arrived at the scene of the conflict, it was knocked out by the Tang people's artillery."

"Basically it didn't have any effect!"

After the official finished his report, he saw that Alfonso looked absent-minded and continued to ask questions.

"Governor, what should we do next?"

Alfonso's face suddenly twitched, and then he said.

"Need not!"

"Just sit back and watch!"

"In today's drama, we in the Netherlands are the director and the audience, but not the actors."

"Just wait for the results from there."

Upon hearing this, the official nodded to show that he understood, then turned and left.

After the official left, the maid crawled out from under the table, covered her mouth and went to the flower pot nearby...

……

As the buildings collapsed, the natives finally began to feel fear.

I don't know who shouted first, "Run away!", but the natives who had gathered outside the concession in a crowd suddenly scattered.

Upon seeing this, Wang Hui made a prompt decision.

"The enemy has been routed."

"Pass the order down and prepare to pursue!"

"Expand the results as much as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the police officers around him responded in unison.

A group of people rushed out, each holding a rifle with a bayonet.

They soon caught up with the fleeing natives.

Then shot in the back.

Snapped! Bang bang!

Amid the crisp sound of gunfire, blood splattered from the backs of the natives who were running slower, and they kept falling to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the fleeing natives became even more frightened.

Countless people rushed to escape, and in the chaos, stampedes were almost inevitable.

In this situation, if someone unfortunately falls, the only outcome is to be trampled into a pulp.

The patrol police in the concession continued the pursuit until they drove the natives out of the Batavia city, and then they stopped.

The reason why I don’t continue chasing is not because I can’t catch up anymore.

This was because the concession was worried that once the concession's guard forces left the concession, the Dutch might cut off their support.

Take the opportunity to attack the concession!
This kind of thing is not impossible.

……

Concession, District Mayor's Office.

Song Zhengqing was looking through the files of the Guangweilou case.

As the invasion of the concession by the indigenous peoples subsided, the Tang Dynasty gradually came to its senses.

It seems like someone has plotted against me!

Therefore, Song Zhengqing ordered someone to bring the files, and he wanted to go through the matter carefully from beginning to end.

Looking at the case in the file, Song Zhengqing found several suspicious points.

For example, why were the Dutch patrol police able to arrive so quickly after the conflict at Guangweilou?

For example, why did the Dutch release the imprisoned Songchai and others on the same day as the Tang Dynasty released Liu Quan and others?
For example, why did the Dutch catch the real murderer right after the Tang Dynasty executed suspects such as Songchai?

For example, why did the news that the Guangweilou case was a false accusation spread so quickly?

Generally speaking, a piece of news should not spread so quickly unless someone deliberately fan the flames.

Song Zhengqing picked up his pen and marked out these doubtful points one by one.

Finally, he circled another person's name.

This man, named Liang Youshun, was the so-called real murderer caught by the Dutch.

Well, this is a Chinese.

Of course, this is not surprising. In the Nanyang region today, the number of Chinese pirates is no less than that of Western pirates.

It is even true that Chinese are the mainstream among the South China Sea pirates!

If the Tang Dynasty wants to know the truth, it can only start with Liang Youshun.

Now, the only thing that makes Song Zhengqing feel gratified is.

Liang Youshun is still being held in the Concession Police Station and has not been executed.

Otherwise, there will be no evidence for this incident.

By then, even if Song Zhengqing suspected that the Dutch were behind this incident.

But without evidence, he had no way to challenge the Dutch.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Song Zhengqing looked up and said, "Come in."

The office door was pushed open and Song Zhengqing's secretary walked in from outside.

The secretary came up to Song Zhengqing with a serious expression and began to report.

"District Chief, there's an incident at the Concession Police Station."
