Rebirth of the Qing Empire

The "Feiyu" class patrol boat that Kang Fan took He Shuixiu on was numbered "Feiyu 109". This time it was going to sea to perform a routine fishing protection mission.

Under the command of the captain, the main engine of the patrol boat roared and reached a speed of 38 knots. The sharp bow pierced through the waves, the solid steel hull plowed through the blue water, and the propeller at the stern of the boat moved under the powerful

Driven by the diesel engine, it rotates rapidly, setting off huge white waves, and flies against the sea like a sharp arrow against the rising sun.

He Shuixiu turned around and shouted something to Kang Fan. There was a strong wind in Kang Fan's ears and he couldn't hear a word clearly.

When we came to the open sea, we met several sail fishing boats. The fishermen on the boats were calling them with their mouths wide open and waving their hands hurriedly. It seemed that something was going on. After seeing it in the telescope, the captain ordered "Feiyu 109"

Slow down your speed and approach slowly.

"I'm telling you, I don't get seasick anymore!" He Shuixiu took the opportunity to say.

Kang Fan smiled, "This is best."

No accident happened to the fishermen, but they wanted to give some of the freshly caught seafood to the officers and soldiers. The captain asked Kang Fan for instructions, and Kang Fan agreed.

What the fishermen gave to the officers and soldiers this time were two baskets of precious bluefin tuna. This kind of fish is expensive, which also shows the sincerity of the fishermen. After receiving the gift, the captain gave the fishermen several boxes of bottled mineral water in return.

and canned fruits. The fishermen suddenly became happy: you know, the bottled mineral water and canned fruits specially supplied by the Bac Ninh Navy were transported from the distant Bac Ninh jurisdiction and are the most useful for fishermen in fishing operations in the open sea.

Materials are the most precious things in their eyes!

After saying goodbye to the fishermen, the patrol boat continued to move forward. The number of fishing boats on the sea gradually increased, and sail shadows were everywhere. The patrol boat slowed down and cruised at a slow speed of 12 knots. At noon, the patrol boat stopped next to an uninhabited island.

The kitchen on the boat began to prepare lunch for everyone. The rest of the people rowed rubber boats to the island and waded through the knee-high water to the nearest beach. This beach was covered by dense coconut groves, and the shade of trees was everywhere.

Able to escape the scorching sun.

Several fishermen who were resting temporarily on this small island climbed up the tall coconut trees and threw green and huge coconuts to everyone. Kang Fan picked one up, chopped it into pieces with a saber, and handed it to He Shuixiu.

He Shuixiu had been thirsty for a long time, and she couldn't wait when Kang Fan started peeling it. At this moment, she held up the coconut and drank it. A few drops of clear coconut juice flowed from the corner of her mouth to her chin, and then dripped on her chest.

, leaving clear wet marks on the light green half-sleeved military uniform.

After lunch was ready, everyone began to sit around on the beach to eat. The fishermen accepted everyone's invitation and came over to have lunch with everyone. He Shuixiu ran back from the beach, barefoot, rolled up his trouser legs, and held

Carrying military boots and socks, he sat down next to Kang Fan, smiled naively and spread his hands to Kang Fan, and several beautiful shells appeared in front of Kang Fan's eyes.

"Look, how beautiful it is!" He Shuixiu beamed.

Lunch was vegetables, canned meat, braised tuna and rice. An elderly fisherman contributed a gourd of rice wine he brought. This is a common folk drink in southern China. It is brewed from glutinous rice and has a low alcohol content.

The taste is mellow. But it is really amazing to see it on this exotic island far away from the mainland of the motherland.

Kang Fan got interested and grabbed it and drank several gulps at once.

Seeing how sweet he was drinking, He Shuixiu also took a few sips, and her face immediately turned red.

"May I ask where this old man is from?" Kang Fan asked, wiping his mouth.

The old fisherman stroked his beard and said: "Lao Chan's ancestral home is Fujian. In the early years, our ancestors left their hometown and moved here. Counting this, Lao Chan is already the fifth generation of our family."

A gourd of rice wine was about five or six liters, and everyone drank it in a few turns as everyone took turns to taste it. The old fisherman told everyone many touching stories about Chinese immigrants in South Asia who overcame obstacles and built their homes. He told about Luo Fangbo,

Wu Yuansheng, Zhang Jiexu, Wu Yang and other Chinese forefathers who expanded their territory in South Asia achieved great feats in establishing kingdoms, but they talked more about the sufferings suffered by Chinese immigrants in South Asia. When it came to the heartache, the old fisherman burst into tears.

His face was full of tears, and he burst into tears. Everyone looked miserable when he heard this.

Kang Fan knew a little bit about this history. From ancient times to the present, no matter when China was strong or when it was weak, successive dynasties have ignored these capable people and lofty ideals who worked hard overseas, let alone doing anything in the name of the country.

Support and protect them, and sit back and watch as these Chinese immigrants in Southeast Asia are brutally massacred by Spanish, Dutch, British and other Europeans. All the kingdoms and settlements established by Chinese immigrants in Southeast Asia are wiped off the map by the Europeans.

, the surviving Chinese immigrants were forced to live under the despotic power of these European colonists, and had to endure the bullying of the local Southeast Asian indigenous people. Deep hatred is buried in the hearts of every Chinese immigrant.

Thinking of this, Kang Fan suddenly turned pale and clenched his teeth.

"It's okay now, you are here to protect us. The hard expectations of generations of people living here have finally been fulfilled by our generation!" The old fisherman wiped away the muddy tears on his face with his rough hands and stood up.

, and then solemnly knelt down on his knees, "My ancestors kowtow to all the military lords!" As he said this, he touched his head to the ground and kowtowed to the officers and soldiers one by one while turning around.

His companions also knelt down one after another and kowtowed their heads following his example. All the officers and soldiers stood up, a little at a loss, and looked at Kang Fan together.

Kang Fan did not go to help the fishermen, but stood up and fell to his knees. Seeing him like this, the officers and soldiers also knelt down one after another. He Shuixiu squatted beside Kang Fan and hugged one of his arms tightly.

arm.

"Old man, this junior hereby promises you: from now on, things like the past will never happen again." Kang Fan said word by word.

Although the old fisherman noticed that Kang Fan was different, he did not know his true identity. At this moment, he understood it after asking the officers and soldiers next to him. He hurriedly knelt down to Kang Fan again and couldn't help it.

kowtow.

Kang Fan hurriedly held up his hands and said, "Old man, please get up quickly."

How could the old fisherman dare to stand up easily? Kowtowing to himself was like pounding garlic. As soon as Kang Fan exerted his arms, the old fisherman could no longer move an inch. After trying several times to no avail, the old fisherman had no choice but to stand up.

"I am too blind to see Mount Tai. I hope the governor will not blame me!" the old fisherman bowed and saluted.

Kang Fan clasped his fists in return and said with a smile: "That's a bad thing, old man. I have to thank you for the rice wine!"

The old fisherman said respectfully: "This is a crude product brewed by myself, and it is difficult to taste. If the governor likes it, I will definitely come to give it to you in the future."

Kang Fan smiled and said: "In this case, there will be old man Lao."

During the subsequent execution of the task, everyone was very depressed. Except for the necessary work passwords, no one was talking or laughing anymore.

At this moment, two patrol boats of the Dutch Navy broke into the fishing ground at an extremely inappropriate time, plundered the Chinese immigrants' fishing boats while they were working, rammed and sank a fishing boat, shot and wounded many brave men.

The rebellious fishermen. Instead of rescuing the fishermen who fell into the water, the Dutch navy officers and soldiers on the patrol boat laughed wildly in glee at their misfortune!

The radar on the "Feiyu 109" boat patrolling the nearby waters has discovered the two Dutch patrol boats, but because they were mixed in the group of fishing boats, although it aroused the alert of the radar operator, it was not easy to identify their identities for a while. Listen.

After hearing the sound of gunfire, the radar operator immediately locked the target and guided the "Feiyu 109" boat to rush to the sea area where the incident occurred at a high speed of more than 40 knots without slowing down. Two "harpoon" torpedoes were fired from the two torpedo launch tubes on the port side.

It roared into the sea and shot like lightning at the leading Dutch patrol boat, which had a displacement of at least 5 or 6 times that of the "Flying Fish 109" and was about to turn its rudder and escape.

With inertia and the propulsion of its own electric motor, the torpedo's speed definitely exceeded 50 knots! One of the torpedoes passed by the Dutch patrol boat, and the other accurately penetrated the hull of the Dutch patrol boat. It was loaded with high-energy mixed explosives and weighed 3

The 100-kilogram war thunderhead exploded violently inside it, blowing the Dutch patrol boat to pieces. The wreckage scattered hundreds of meters around and disappeared in an instant!

This kind of torpedo was originally used to attack medium and large warships with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons, and this Dutch patrol boat has a steel-framed wooden hull. Although the hull is larger, it is not vulnerable at all. Since it was launched after

After the torpedo, the "Feiyu 109" boat continued to sprint at high speed to pursue another Dutch patrol boat. It passed by the Dutch patrol boat and was hit in many places by flying debris, injuring several officers and soldiers.

Seeing that the situation was not good, another Dutch patrol boat fired back randomly while desperately fleeing towards Kalimantan Island.

Kang Fan hurriedly pulled He Shuixiu into the armored command room on the boat and protected him in his arms.

"Get rid of its artillery!" The young captain of "Feiyu 109" had blue veins popping out on his forehead and roared into the microphone.

Kang Fan noticed that his round eyes were filled with angry tears, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

The "Feiyu 109" boat's two double-barreled 37mm guns and two double-barreled 12.7mm machine guns fired at the highest rate of fire. The shells jumped to the deck like rain, and the smoke filled the air.

The Dutch patrol boat was shrouded in ferocious firepower and was hit intensively by 37 and 12.7 mm armor-piercing bombs, high-explosive bombs and armor-piercing incendiary bombs. All the artillery was instantly silenced, and the wooden hull burned violently. It was about to end.

It disintegrated. After a while, a white flag signaling surrender was raised on its mast.

The captain looked at Kang Fan and asked, "Mr. Governor, did you see anything?"

Kang Fan smiled and said: "I only saw a pirate ship that broke into the waters of Green Island to commit murder."

A smile appeared on the captain's lips, and he turned to the microphone and gave another brief order: "Sink it!"

The "Feiyu 109" boat approached quickly by virtue of its speed advantage. At close range, the frightened and desperate expressions on the faces of the officers and soldiers on the Dutch patrol boat could be clearly seen with the naked eye. Then, a "harpoon" torpedo was fired from the starboard side.

Taking advantage of the chaos, it shot out. At the same time, the "Feiyu 109" boat made a sharp turn and broke away at high speed. The huge swell set off actually obscured Kang Fan's sight!

After another violent explosion, Kang Fan changed his position and looked towards the sea area again, but he could no longer see anything...

This was the first exchange of fire between the Bac Ninh Navy and the Dutch Navy since they occupied the Green Island Islands. As a result, 7 people from the Bac Ninh Navy were injured, while the Dutch Navy all fed the fish, and no one survived.

The main reason why the fight was so ruthless was that the naval officers and soldiers on the "Feiyu 109" boat had just listened to the story told by the old fishermen: Those compatriots, men, women, old and young, faced the north in despair when the Europeans' butcher's knife was about to fall.

The distant motherland knelt on the ground. What were they looking forward to? What could they hope for?! The blood was spraying on the foreign land under their feet, but the immortal soul could never find a home. Motherland, motherland, where are you at this time?

?!

Now, all the officers and soldiers on the "Feiyu 109" boat will answer this way: "The motherland is by your side, we are the army of the motherland, and we are here to protect you!"

But at this moment, these two blind Dutch navy patrol boats came to commit murder. How could the agitated officers and soldiers of the "Feiyu 109" boat let them go?!
