It turned out that the Spaniards were not good at archery and would not correct the wind deviation, and the bullets were blown by the wind, and they all landed in the open space on the left side of the position, Lin Fei smiled secretly in his heart: "It turns out that this group of Spaniards are such straw bales!" What else do I have to worry about? ”

Lin Fei thought of this, and fired three shots in succession, killing the three Spaniards to the ground, and then shouted loudly: "Brothers, these Spaniards are all straw bale soft eggs, we have won!" ”

The warriors cheered in unison, and the guns in their hands seemed to be more accurate. Major Raul saw his men fall one by one, and soon more than thirty people were killed, and shouted: "Retreat, retreat, return to the ship." ”

The other Spaniards were also frightened, and when they heard the order, they ran back to the troop carrier, and the troop carrier did not dare to stay for a long time, and fled at full speed, Lin Fei saw the Spaniards fleeing in the wilderness and said loudly: "Don't shoot!" Let's go, follow me to pick up the gear. ”

Lin Fei led everyone to the beach, saw that there was not a single wounded left, cut them all, counted them, killed a total of 36 Spaniards, captured 45 intact rifles, and more than 2,000 bullets.

Lin Fei said with a smile: "It's already good to be able to kill so many enemies in the first battle!" But don't be complacent, because even tougher battles are coming! The next time I came, it would not be a guard of Spanish hooligans, but an elite Spanish regular army! Everyone must step up their training in archery. ”

Everyone agreed, and at the same time, Major Raul, who was on the sea, said to Colonel Denison with a sad face: "Mr. Colonel, I regret not listening to you, we were too light on the enemy when we went ashore, and many people were killed by those pirates......

Denison said, "I told you a long time ago, these pirates are very powerful! Now I have to go back to Manila to find the boss and ask him to come forward and ask the Spanish regular army stationed in Manila to come out and wipe out these guys and take back the plantation! ”

Major Raul said, "Our boss still has a few plantations on Babuyan Island, and there are hundreds of guards in them, why don't we go to them?" ”

Denison shook his head and said: "These guards are all hooligans and scoundrels, and they usually don't train seriously, it's okay to bully unarmed natives, but if you meet someone who can fight, it's all over!" We can only look for the regular army! ”

Without saying much, Major Raul sailed to the city of Laoag on Luzon, the most important industrial and commercial city in northern Luzon in the Philippines, where Colonel Dennison's boss Fernande lived, and since the plantation was not connected to Luzon by telegraph or telephone, Fernande did not yet know that his plantation had changed its surname to "Lin".

Colonel Denison soon found the boss Fernand, who was a bald fat man who was also a hooligan in Spain in his early years, and did what he did to steal chickens and dogs, and later made a windfall, so he came to the Philippines to "pan for gold", and now he is one of the richest people in the Philippines.

When Fernando had the money, he befriended the Spanish magnates, and even the Philippine governor had a close relationship with him, otherwise he would not have been able to equip his guards with the Spanish Army's Mauser M1893 rifles. When Colonel Denison arrived, Fernande was enjoying dinner, and the chef from Shandong, China, prepared for him authentic Chinese Lu dishes such as sweet and sour carp, roasted sea cucumber with green onions, and Jiuzhuan large intestine.

When Fernande heard that Colonel Denison was coming, he was surprised and let Denison in. Denison's face turned pale after the injury, and Fernande saw it at a glance and asked, "What's wrong with your face?" Feeling unwell? ”

Denison unbuttoned his clothes, revealing the gauze on his chest, and said, "The plantation was robbed by pirates, and the pirate leader stabbed me in the left chest, but fortunately my heart grew on the right side." ”

Fernande was so surprised to hear this that he dropped the knife in his hand and said, "Robbed by pirates?" How is this possible? There are a hundred of you, a hundred of the most advanced rifles in the world! Can you be robbed by pirates? ”

Denison sighed and told Fernand what had happened, and of course he also said that he fought back with Major Raul, but failed, and more than 30 people died, but Chiyo Mika avoided talking about it. Fernand frowned at Denison's account, and only after ten minutes did he spit out: "You come with me to Manila at once, and I must meet with Governor Saunders." ”

Denison was surprised and said, "Boss, isn't it just a bunch of pirates?" Still going to see Mr. Sanders? ”

Fernande said: "From your account, you can hear that in order to deceive you, the pirate leader got an Englishman as a secretary, a Japanese as his wife, and bribed a Chinese businessman, do you still think that the person who did these things is a pirate?" ”

Denison's face changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the person who did these things is Kadipunan?" ”

Fernande laughed and said, "Can those people in Katipunan also put up slogans and scatter leaflets, can they do such a big thing?" ”

Denison's face was blank and asked, "Then who did this?" ”

Fernande laughed loudly, "I don't know. ”

Denison was even more confused, and asked, "Since you don't know who did this, what did you say when you saw the Governor?" ”

Fernand laughed, "Whatever, just say that Katipnan did it." ”

Denison hurriedly asked, "But you just said that this matter could not have been done by Katipnan. ”

Fernande smiled gloomily: "If we want to say that this matter was done by someone else, we will have to pay for the army, but if it is Katipunan, the military budget will be waived!" Katipunan has been in trouble lately, and the Governor is in a hurry to kill a group of people who come to Liwei! ”

Denison gave him a thumbs up, and the two went to Manila to meet the Governor, and after two days of traveling, Fernande finally came to Manila and asked to see Governor Sanders.

Sanders didn't want to see the guest, but Fernande was his big benefactor, and he didn't want to see it, so he invited Fernande in, and after Fernande came in, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and said directly: "Mr. Governor, Katipunan has occupied the island of Ibayat!" ”

Fernand's words were like a hand, squeezing Sanders' heart hard, and Sanders hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

Fernand called Denison and asked him to tell him what had happened on Ibayat Island, and Sanderston was dumbfounded and said with doubt: "Is Katipnan's fighting power already so strong?" ”

Fernande said firmly: "Mr. Governor, please immediately dispatch the Royal Spanish Army stationed in Manila, and the Royal Navy will expel Katipnan on the island of Ibayat!" ”

Sanders slapped the table heavily and said, "Yes, Catipunan dares to directly occupy an island, if you don't get rid of them, I think Manila will have to give them all!" I will give the order to the garrison to prepare at once to attack the island of Ibayat. ”

In this way, when Lin Fei had just occupied Ibayat Island and had not yet gained a firm foothold, the Philippine Governor Sanders was about to dispatch a large army and navy force to attack Lin Fei, and Lin Fei was completely ignorant of this matter.

After Lin Fei led the crowd to repel Major Raul's attack, he thought in his heart: "I have killed so many Spaniards, they will definitely not give up, the top priority now is to deal with the attack of the Spaniards, there is no strategic depth on the island, if you want to block them, you can only develop a batch of weapons." ”

Lin Fei first called Chen Jingui and said, "Ibayat Island is not far from Taiwan, have you ever been to Taiwan to do business?" ”

Chen Jingui said with a smile: "Of course I have been to Taiwan, and Ibayat Island is only a day's journey away from Taiwan's Dagou Port." ”

Lin Fei said: "Then can you go to Taiwan to help me buy some things back?" ”

As soon as Chen Jingui heard this, his legs began to tremble again, and he said, "You can't buy guns and cannons!" Taiwan was under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and Taiwan's governor Shao Youlian was strict in controlling trade. ”

Lin Fei smiled helplessly: "Who said that you were going to buy guns, you go and help me buy saltpeter back, you know saltpeter, right?" It is a medicine of traditional Chinese medicine. ”

Chen Jingui showed a look of sudden realization and said, "I understand, you want to get gunpowder, right?" I have heard of the formula of gunpowder, one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal, and the nitrate in it is saltpeter. ”

Lin Fei laughed out loud and said, "Get a fart black powder!" Do you know how low the explosive power of black powder is? If I get black powder, I might as well go back to Japan and die. ”

Chen Jingui asked, "If you don't get black powder, what do you want to do?" ”

Lin Fei's eyes widened, and he said, "Can you understand what I said?" You don't understand, ask so much what to do? ”

At this moment, Lin Fei only heard a childish voice behind him: "Captain Lin, I think it's better to let me go to Taiwan to buy saltpeter." ”

Lin Fei looked back and found that the speaker was Chen Fu, and couldn't help but smile: "Can you go?" ”

Chen Jingui hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, my son is young and old, better than me, he also knows those Taiwanese businessmen, let him go!" I'm not going, I'm going to teach the natives how to speak Chinese. ”

When Lin Fei heard Chen Jingui say this, he sent two sailors to follow him to buy saltpeter.

Lin Fei also comprehensively stipulated the standard of weights and measures, using "grams" and "kilograms" in weight, and no longer using "city catties"; Use "seconds", "minutes", "hours" in time. With the new weights and measures, there are tools to determine specific values, and the length is determined with a scale, vernier caliper; Balances, weights, and scales are used to determine the weight; Clocks were used to determine the time, and luckily the Spaniards equipped the technicians with these things, which they could continue to use.

Liu Daming complained about Lin Fei's regulation of weights and measures: "What do you do with those things? They don't affect kills! ”

Lin Fei smiled: "You don't understand this, right?" Weights and measures are the foundation of industrial society, with which we can manufacture weapons and equipment on a large scale, and use weapons and equipment to kill the enemy! ”
