Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    November 18th, the seventh year of Chongzhen, Penghu.

    Penghu is full of joy on this day.

    Ding Yunyi is getting married.

    For many years, things have not been so festive in Penghu. Everyone took out the clothes they only wear during the New Year and wore them solemnly.

    Inspector Ding has done so much for Penghu, and he is now like one of his own family members.  My family is getting married, why not make it a grand ceremony?

    Ding Yunyi seemed to want to make this wedding a grand affair. He arranged the entire military camp and nearby open space as a place for banquets.  Those tables, stools, bowls and chopsticks were all brought by the people of Penghu.

    Early in the morning, Ding Yunyi got up early.  After putting on the groom's official clothes, I looked around and saw that all the brothers were wearing brand-new clothes, with smiles on their faces, and there was no trace of nervousness that an earth-shattering event was about to happen soon.

    "Every ship is ready, the 'Happiness' and the 'Fighter' have taken the lead in setting out to sea."

    Ding Yunyi nodded with a smile on his face: "Brothers, today I, Ding, am getting married. I will put aside all other matters for the time being. Come and grab the bride from me!"

    "Go and steal the bride! Go and steal the bride!"

    Amidst the roar of applause, the brothers surrounded Ding Yunyi and left the military camp in a mighty manner

    ?¡­

    Taiwan.

    Today is also the birthday of Governor Putmans, but the atmosphere here is much worse than in Penghu.

    Those Taiwanese people who were considered weak by Hongyi actually started an uprising under the leadership of Guo Huaiyi. This is simply intolerable.

    Putmans must suppress this riot as soon as possible, otherwise, it will inevitably cause a series of troubles.

    Four hundred soldiers have already gone to suppress it under the leadership of Major Calcha, but Governor Putmans is not sure whether he can successfully suppress it in the shortest time and restore the "tranquility and peace" among the generals.

    But there are some happy things. The bronze statue specially customized by Father Candinius for the Governor has been completed.

    This tall and large bronze statue will symbolize Governor Putmans' "meritorious service" and will forever be "admired" by those who come after him.

    When the bronze statue was unveiled, the city of Relanja was also very lively, as if the battle going on outside could not affect their mood.

    They watched with joy as Governor Putmans personally unveiled the red cloth, and then the tall bronze statue appeared in front of them, followed by bursts of applause and cheers.

    "I hope that your successor, whenever he sees this bronze statue, will be reminded of the supreme contribution you have made to the Netherlands." Father Candinius said with a happy face: "No matter who comes here from now on,  The first thing they see is your bronze statue, which will urge them not to forget their sacred mission.¡±

    Although he was upset by Guo Huaiyi's riot, the completion of the bronze statue still greatly eased Putmans' irritability: "Father, I have spent so much on you. I will be deeply grateful for this honor."  So proud. When I retire, I hope to bring my grandchildren here to tell them that their grandfather finally did something for the country.¡±

    Father Candinius took the lead in applauding.

    What good words, what a respectable Mr. Governor.

    While everyone was cheering, there was a discordant sound of gunfire outside.  Putmans frowned, it must be his soldiers firing on the rioters.

    These rioters deserve to be hanged!

    He adjusted his mood and turned to Xie Tian with a smile: "Mr. Xie, I heard that you have also contributed a lot. I think I must also thank you for the completion of the bronze statue. You are our true friend.  Ah, what a pity, we still have a mutual friend, Mr. Ding, who didn¡¯t come.¡±

    "He will come, he will come soon." Xie Tian smiled and told the Governor with a pun.

    Yes, "Mr. Ding" will come soon. Of course, it will not come as Putmans imagined.

    Chen Dong and Lieutenant Jeremy also witnessed the completion of the bronze statue. Lieutenant Jeremy cheered loudly as if it was his own bronze statue.

    "If it weren't for those rioters, this would be the most perfect day." Lieutenant Jeremy said happily: "It's a pity that I can't follow my companions to exterminate those rioters, but I can see the unveiling of the bronze statue with my own eyes.  , This is enough for me to show off when I return to China.¡±

    Chen Dong smiled slightly.

    In his opinion, Jeremy¡¯s greatest tragedy is staying in the city of Geranje.  When the appointed time comesAt that time, he was the first person he had to deal with.

    To be honest, he still couldn't bear to kill this Hongyi.  After all, after staying together for such a long time, some feelings developed.

    "It will definitely be lively today." Chen Dong asked casually.

    "Yes." Jeremy said enthusiastically: "There will be cocktail parties and dances. Ah, you and your crew can also join in the carnival. Of course, you must not leave the city of Relanjia. It is really difficult outside  It's too dangerous, the rioters will rip your neck open at any time."

    "Okay, I'll explain it carefully to my crew."

    When he returned to the boat, Chen Dong's whole person changed suddenly, and the smile completely disappeared from his face.

    Dozens of brothers also stood there with solemn expressions. Chen Dong's eyes swept over them one by one: "Brothers, in a few hours, it will be time to take action. Are any of you afraid of death?"

    "No!" A low reply came from the brothers' throats.

    "There is no fear of death. This time we will fight vigorously." Chen Dong said with satisfaction: "Rong Youxiong, you are responsible for leading nineteen brothers to deal with the enemies to the west."

    "yes!"

    "I will personally lead nineteen people to deal with Jeremy and his men and control the city tower. Zhao Guangyi, take your brothers and forcefully rush to the city gate, open the city gate, and welcome the guards into the city."

    "yes!"

    After the orders were delivered one by one, there was another burst of cheers from outside, and Chen Dong said coldly: "Did you hear that? The Hongyi are gathering there, and they actually installed the bronze statue on our Ming Dynasty land. Such a shame, I  The people of the Ming Dynasty will never tolerate it. Many of us will die, but it is worth dying. In the future, our bronze statues will be bigger than Hongyi's. When the Qingming Festival comes, don't forget to give tribute to our dead brothers.  Put up some incense and bring two bottles of good wine.¡±

    The brothers were silent.

    They are not afraid of death, and they do not care about what is coming.  For them, being able to have a vigorous fight is worth more than anything else.

    This is the eighteenth day of November in the seventh year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.

    History has quietly changed here.
