C3090 Attack dagupan (1/2)
The mayor was gone, but the commander of the troops was not so easy to run away from. During the riots in the city, they could only order the soldiers to retreat to their barracks and stay on the high ground outside the city.
There were still over a thousand European residents in dagupan City. In the chaos, they had followed the army and retreated into the army camp. Everyone looked at the burning city through the fence, and they all cried.
”My God! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, how could such a terrifying thing happen! ”
With a loud boom, a huge explosion came from the direction of the police station, causing everyone to retreat half a step. Many veterans were clear that such a large explosion could not be caused without more than 150 kilograms of explosives.
”These Chinese people must have planned to get so much explosives and weapons... It's Xiao Letian! It's all because of those Chinese! ”
The enemy's main force was still far away in Manila, so they could only watch as the Rebellion captured the entire city.
The police station and the municipal government were captured one after another. The foreigners and aboriginals fled the city like madmen. The merchant ships in the port also took refuge, but the storm was too heavy. Many ships didn't dare to sail into the deep sea.
What happened next stunned all of the merchants. They initially thought that these Rebellion were all thugs, but that afternoon, someone ventured out into the wind and rain to negotiate with these foreigners.
The Rebellion released a public announcement, this uprising was totally to rescue the oppressed Chinese, overthrow the cruel rule of the Spaniard, it had nothing to do with other friendly countries in the world.
As long as the other countries did not act against their enemies and remained neutral, everyone's interests would be protected!
The port is still open to merchant ships from all over the world.
A public notice? The fact that the thugs were able to promote their citizens as soon as possible showed that they were not mob at all, but an organized army!
It seemed like all the rumors could prove that the one behind this was Xiao Letian, the Chinese!
”My God! This person's appetite is just too big. Just now, it's not enough to defeat Sha Russia and France, and he won't even let go of Spain? ”
”Does he want to become enemies with the entire world?”
”Let's not care about all these. As long as we can prove that these people are not thugs but Xiao Letian's subordinates, then we are safe!” ”Let's enter …”
On one hand, they were surprised by Xiao Letian's good appetite, but on the other hand, they relaxed. All of these merchants had experience, they were not afraid of changes in dynasties, nor of wars between nations, because even if these actions of Governments were to erupt into war, there would be rules within.
No matter how fierce the Franco-Prussian War was, both sides would protect the interests of merchants from other countries. After all, no one could live their own lives! Basic face was still a must.
What merchants were afraid of the most was anarchy, afraid that the mob would do as they pleased!
No matter how brutal and bloody the war, which is dominated by the government, is, society has its own rules to follow. Even if the war taxes are increased by ten times, you should know that once I pay that amount, I will be safe.
I won't die, my goods won't be taken away, and I can make up for ten times the tax by doing business.
You don't know where the bottom line of thugs is, and they have no rules. If this little leader steals one thousand from you, then that big leader will steal ten thousand from you.
Who knows, maybe that big head pervert might be thinking about your wife and daughter, and your boat might be burnt in the middle of the night!
The current dagupan was just like that, since the Rebellion had begun to exercise her authority, there was no need to be afraid! British businessman was the first to enter the harbor to avoid the rain. Very soon, other countries' merchant ships also entered the port boldly.
The dagupan's battle, the Chinese had prepared for a very long time. All the streets in the entire city, as well as the hills, rivers and fields, were made into a huge sand table.
All the military operations had been prepared in advance. Even the Chinese CIA had the names of the people from the Spanish army and they even knew the details of every class of Queue length.
