Chapter 5 Emergency Rescue (Part 2)
Xia An, the owner of Qingyuan Village, is also a handsome man. He is 43 years old. His ancestral home is Qingyuan, Guangdong Province. His grandfather was a famous carpenter. He fled to West Borneo because he was framed. He started his business by cutting two red sandalwood trees in the deep mountains and old forests and established Qingyuan Wood Logging Company and Qingyuan Village.
Rosewood is a tropical plant. A rosewood can only be used for hundreds of years. Moreover, nine out of ten sandalwood can be used, and the little flesh between the hollow and the skin can be used. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that inch of sandalwood is inch of gold. A 5 or 6 zhang red sandalwood tree is worth millions of taels of silver.
By the Xia'an generation, the Xia family had become a wealthy timber businessman in Nanyang. They not only made expensive furniture and a large amount of ordinary furniture, but also had two larger paper mills. The furniture and paper made by Qingyuanzhuang were of excellent quality and were exported to all parts of the world through Yamaguchi Ocean every year.
As the Qing Dynasty was defeated again and again, the national strength became weaker and weaker, and the small country that had always been jealous of the mouse became unscrupulous. They destroyed the Lanfang Republic, occupied large cities such as Pontianak and Machen, slaughtered many wealthy Chinese businessmen and civilians, and obtained a large amount of property. After they began to provoke Indonesians to carry out large-scale sweeps of various Chinese settlements in West Borneo.
Now, even this Qingyuan Village, located in the mountainous area, is about to suffer a catastrophe! Qingyuan Village is a large valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The opening of the valley is more than 100 meters. As long as you use huge tropical trees to build a wooden fence on the front, you can keep it steadily.
However, since the Indonesians did not expect that a large-scale attack on themselves for no reason, a wooden fence that was only 3 meters high was erected at the entrance of the valley. Although it was built extremely firmly, the 3 meters high wooden fence was difficult to block the attack of more than 3,000 Indonesians.
Qingyuan Village is full of Chinese people, with more than 1,100 villagers, of which more than 800 are middle-aged and young people. In addition, before more than 3,000 Indonesians arrived, more than 400 of the more than 600 people fled in nearby villages were middle-aged and young people, so the number of middle-aged and young people who could contribute was more than 1,200.
There were originally more than 1,200 middle-aged and young people. Even though the wooden fence was broken, they could compete with the Indonesians with the big sword and iron gun, but they did not have the corresponding weapons. There were more than 50 muskets, but after two days of shooting with the Indonesians, there was no gunpowder. Fortunately, the Indonesians did not have much gunpowder, and their muskets became quiet after a day of shooting. The total number of big sword and iron guns was only more than 200. This was bought to send people to escort furniture to Yamaguchi. There were more than 300 axes for logging. Other weapons were kitchen knives and hoes. How could they fight with others' big sword and iron guns?
Therefore, the Indonesians must not be allowed to break through the wooden fence, otherwise they will be rushed into the open villa and the Chinese will be ruthlessly massacred!
The Chinese also know the consequences of Zhuangzi's attack. Therefore, except for a very small number of numb and cowardly people, most of them took turns to the fence to resist the attacks of Indonesians under the organization of Xia An. After several days of fighting, nearly 600 people had been killed or killed, and the rest were exhausted. Although the Indonesians also suffered more than 800 casualties, they won because they had more people and took longer to take turns to rest than the Chinese. Although they were very tired after attacking for several days, they were in a better state than the Chinese. If this situation continues, it is only a matter of time for the fall of Qingyuanzhuang.
At 4 pm, Chen Hao was more than 10 miles away from Qingyuan Village. Since Chen Hao wanted to attack at night, he was not in a hurry to rush. Along the way, he slaughtered several Indonesian teams and rescued more than 100 Chinese, asking them to wait for Ye Hui and the others on the road, and then avoided Qingyuan Village together. Qingyuan Village, led by Xia An, was facing attacks from more than 400 Indonesians. Most of the Indonesians attacked up the ladder, while other Indonesians threw weeds and dead branches in front of the fence, preparing to try to set fire to the wooden fence again.
This attack method is very fatal to the wooden fence, because once they burn a fire, the entire defense line will completely collapse! Fortunately, for a few days, Xia'an has been in command. He prepared a large amount of water from the creek in the village, placed it in a bucket, ready to lift it up to put it on to put out the fire. He also asked more than 200 martial arts guards to form a suicide squad. If the situation is not good, open the fence and let them rush out, kill the Indonesians, and then move these deadly weeds to the fence to burn. This can not only reduce the threat of fire, but also block the Indonesians for a while. However, the loss of this guard is also very large. There are currently more than 150 casualties, and only more than 60 are left, so the situation is extremely unoptimistic.
Because the attack lasted another day, the Indonesians were quite tired, and they had to do this wave of attacks and quickly retreated, preparing to attack again another day.
Xia An let out a long sigh and said intimately: I have been struggling to survive another day, it seems that this time I am really a disaster!
At this time, a woman in strong clothes with tea came quickly behind her. The woman seemed to have been loved by God. She had pure big eyes, straight nose, rosy cherry lips, fair and tender skin. Due to regular exercise, she also had strong breasts and long toned legs! She was about 18 years old and was about 1.65 meters tall. If she appeared in the future, she would have been snatched away by a famous film company!
But at this moment, such a beauty was worried. She handed the tea to Xia An and said, "Dad, drink some tea to quench her thirst." It turned out that she was Xia An's daughter, Xia Xingyu's sister Xia Lili!
Xia An picked up the tea and drank it all, looked at Xia Lili for a while, sighed, and said in pain: "Lili, it's a pity that you can't climb the mountain like your brother. Dad may not be able to protect you anymore. If the village is broken, Dad will definitely die in battle in front of the fence, and you and your mother must not be insulted by these beasts!"
Xia Lili nodded firmly and said, "Dad, don't worry, when they attack, my mother and I will stay in the small thatched hut. Once the village is broken, I will go there to accompany my mother and the others. Even if my mother and I die, we will not leave the body to these beasts to ruin it!"
The iron man Xia An couldn't help but burst out tears. He trembled his hands, trembled his lips, looked ahead with his eyes blankly, and said sadly: "Okay, okay! I also want someone to set a torch to burn the entire village, so that these robbers can get nothing!"
At this time, he suddenly saw his eldest son Xia Xingyu! He thought he had read it wrong, rubbed his eyes, and Xia Xingyu had already arrived in front and knelt down and called him father. Xia An suddenly felt that everything was over. He originally thought that Xia Xingyu would understand his painstaking efforts and leave a seed for his Xia family outside, but he didn't expect that this incompetent son would come back! He couldn't help but roar, kicked Xia Xingyu and cursed: "Beast! Do you want my Xia family to be the only one? Get out of here, you will never be my Xia An's son again!"
Xia Xingyu was kicked to the ground, but there was no resentment. He cried and said, "Dad, it is precisely because I understand your hard work that I want to come back. Even if I die, I will die with the whole family, instead of escaping by myself and finally dying of depression!"
Xia Lili was crying at this time, and Xia An was crying continuously. Many people around her couldn't help crying. Xia Xingyu continued, "Dad, we were saved this time. I found a reinforcement outside! The National Bureau has sent someone to save us!"
Everyone was stunned, and then immediately cheered loudly. At the most desperate moment, they heard the eldest young master who never lie that he had found the reinforcements from the state. They were immediately excited and excited! They knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the motherland.
Xia An, a businessman, knew the real situation of the Qing Dynasty, but he also believed that his outstanding eldest son would not lie in public. He pulled Xia Xingyu up and said, "Let's go home and talk to me, what's going on?"
When she returned to Xia Mansion, Xia Xingyu's mother Li happened to return home with her 13-year-old son Xia Xingshuo. When she saw Xia Xingyu, she was both happy and angry and couldn't speak for a moment. Only Xia Xingshuo happily stepped forward and held the eldest brother's hand, which was very intimate.
Xia An came to the hall to sit, and then said to Xia Xingyu, who was standing in front of him with his hands hanging down, "Yu'er, the country has no time to take care of itself, how could he send people to rescue us abandoned people from abroad? How many people have they sent?"
Xia Xingyu described what happened with Chen Hao in detail with what Chen Hao said, and finally said, "Dad, I have been loyal to the Lord and am ready to follow him in the future! Moreover, at this time, the Lord also gathered many heroes, and more than 50 war-torn men. With the Lord, the remaining Indonesians in front of me were vulnerable. I want to follow him and see how he leads us to defeat the Western devils!"
Xia Lili next to her said disbelief: "Brother, is there such a powerful person? Can you really beat hundreds of people by one?"
Xia Xingyu shook his head and said in a fascination: "It's not only that, from the tone of his admiral, his ability has not been shown yet. The admiral said that if he bought guns and cannons, he would build the strongest army in the world."
Xia An nodded at this time and said, "I believe your words are true. Because with your insight, I can't say so many insightful words. Exit the power of the imperialist country in the motherland! I give me a bright world of China! I think that Chinese people all over the world dare to say these words in this era! But how could such a hero be sent by the Qing Dynasty to rescue us? If the Qing Dynasty could be reused, they would not be ravaged by various countries at will! And they would not have been defeated by Japan, a small country that had been crawling at our feet before, and they would have been defeated continuously."
Xia Xingyu nodded and said, "I'm also very suspicious. The adults did not have braids, and their hair was short like a monk. After saving Brother Luo Jun and the others, they not only did not take credit, but also said that the rescue came late, which made us Chinese suffer. He also disliked us who always kneeled down. Seeing us kneeling, we either smiled bitterly or frowned. I think he might have come from the West, but no matter what, without him, we would have to die. Luo Jun and I decided to work hard with the adults in the future. Even if they die, they would never regret it."
Xia An was already faithful at this time, and his face regained his spirit. He said excitedly: "God blessed my Chinese people, and he has such a brilliant man to the world! Not only does he have amazing force, he regards Indonesians as grass; but also understands Chinese and Western learning, and has a lofty vision that ordinary people cannot reach. Yu'er, after hearing your words, even as a father, I wish I could immediately join the command of the adults for my own actions! I wonder if the adults would think I was old and unbearable!"
Xia Lili stopped obediently and shouted, "Dad, you are not old and you are still in your prime! That big brother is so powerful and so kind-hearted hero, he must be very happy to see that you are willing to serve him. With the help of such capable talents as Dad, the adults will definitely succeed in their careers!"
Xia An Lao Huai was very relieved, looking at his relatives and the manager of the village in the hall, and said, "If you really have to escape from the disaster this time, we will follow our Qingyuan Village in the future. If anyone dares to disobey our orders, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Everyone was not happy to accept the order, so they began to discuss how to go out to pick him up at night.
