Chapter 720: Guns and guns are everywhere, so we can only resist!

Hu Youcheng has been in Manila for more than three years and has investigated all the major and minor figures in the ten major surnames of the Eight Lian Ming Dynasties. Therefore, he also knows something about Lin Tianyou.

He knew that Lin Tianyou was a heavy smoker, and he also knew that such a person could even sell his parents and children if he became addicted to smoking.

Therefore, he also felt that Lin Tianyou went to the Spaniards to report the anomalies in the settlement area.

Although he didn't know how much Lin Tianyou knew about what he and the ten wealthy families were doing, and he didn't know how the Spaniards would react if they found out, Hu Youcheng immediately went to a nearby safe house to report the matter to Chen Yanfeng.

Chen Yanfeng did not leave after he came last time, but has been secretly presiding over the overall situation, while Hu Youcheng is responsible for the public affairs, which is equivalent to giving the Fusi Intelligence Network in Manila Jinyiwei North Town two leaders, the overt and the covert.

Of course, many major issues are actually decided by Chen Yanfeng, a hundred households.

In the safe room, after hearing what Hu Youcheng said, Chen Yanfeng said decisively: "This matter concerns the lives of tens of thousands of expats in Manila, and we cannot gamble.

In this way, you immediately go to Chen, Lin and other ten surnamed clan elders to organize the people to enter the anti-gun trenches to avoid large casualties under the sudden shelling of the Spanish.

I will immediately contact the Governor of the South China Sea and the Admiral of the Nanyang Navy to seek support."

"As you command!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Chen Min said: "Even if the imperial court sends troops from Dongfan Island, it will take at least ten and a half months from the time the news is sent out to the arrival of the army? How can we withstand the Western Yi for so long?"

Seeing this, Hu Youcheng said: "Everyone, you have no choice now but to fight against the Western Yi.

“···”

"It has only been ten years since the last massacre. Is it possible that we will encounter it again?"

It doesn't stand up to scrutiny at all.

He would rarely stray too far from the location of the telegraph machine. If there was a danger of being captured or killed, he would destroy the telegraph machine first.

Seeing this, Hu Youcheng was about to grit his teeth and reveal the existence of Chen Yanfeng and the telegraph machine, but when he hesitated for a moment, he heard Lin Lide say: "Is it useful for you to be so worried? Since Xiyi came to investigate, we have no choice but to confront them.

Already."

At this time, a middle-aged man took a detour to Lin Lide and said anxiously: "Sir, the Westerners came so fast that they didn't even have time to move the weapons hidden inside. What should we do?"

If the imperial court knew that the people living in Luzon in the Ming Dynasty were in danger of being massacred again, they would not ignore it and would definitely send troops to rescue them.

Hu Youcheng clasped his fists and responded formally, then quickly walked over to you.

In addition to his sufficient ability, another reason why he can be sent to lead the affairs in Manila is that he is also a telegraph operator.

“···”

Therefore, as long as we can hold off the Western Yi for a period of time with our previous preparations, we can wait for reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty!"

Lin Lide immediately stopped everyone and asked Hu Youcheng: "Hu Xiaoqi, if we mobilize our manpower now, can we destroy this group of Xiyi soldiers?"

Chen Min also reacted at this time and sighed: "There is really no choice. You should go back quickly to organize your clansmen and fellow villagers and get ready."

"Lin Tianyou is a heavy smoker, and Westerners may not believe what he says. Even if he has doubts, he will send someone to investigate first. Since we know in advance, we may not be unable to deal with it."

If we organize the people to evacuate now, wouldn't it show the Western barbarians that we have a problem and expose the existence of the fortifications?"

Because he spent nearly two hours waiting for these people, Hu Youcheng was already very anxious.

After saying that, he opened the door and strode out first.

I am not afraid to tell you that before I came, I had someone pass the news to me, the governor of the South China Sea in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Lin Lide had not yet expressed his opinion, he asked anxiously: "Does Mr. Lin think so too?"

Lin Lide frowned and answered the question unreasonably: "That beast didn't know anything about what happened after Hu Xiaoqi reported his identity and contacted us.

When everyone arrived, he couldn't wait to talk about Lin Tianyou.

"Indeed, if we make a big move now, wouldn't it be self-exposure?"

Because the town has many houses and densely populated areas, the cold weapons previously hoarded by the ten wealthy families are hidden in the town.

Chen Yanfeng went to the secret room of the safe house and took out a telegraph machine and began to send a report to the telecommunications team under the Nanhai Governor's Yamen.

Chen Min said hesitantly: "It is still unclear whether Xiyi believes what Lin Tianyou said and what measures he will take to deal with it.

They gathered and the house where the meeting was held was in the town. Therefore, the group of people had not walked far into the street when they saw forty or fifty Spanish soldiers surrounding a house and were about to force their way in.

Hu Youcheng was a member of the army before serving as a royal guard. He had been here as a detective for three years and was often oppressed and humiliated by the Spanish. He felt very aggrieved and had long wanted to kill a few Spanish soldiers to vent his anger.

"Not to mention weapons, even those trenches and bomb craters will arouse suspicion if they see them."

The Chen and Lin families were mainly responsible for the hoarding of cold weapons. He had to hurry up and deal with it with Lin Lide - what if he could deceive the Westerners and get through?

To take a step back, if something really happened, they should first kill the group of Western soldiers who entered the town!

Hu Youcheng said: "The top priority is to quickly organize people to go to the anti-gun trenches and bomb shelters. Otherwise, a sudden shelling by the Western Barbarians will definitely cause many casualties."

"Not only are there not enough trenches and bomb craters, but the training of civilian bravery is also insufficient. I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat Western soldiers."

This time is obviously different.

When they were dozens of steps away, they saw Spanish soldiers using sabers to force away the two civilians blocking the door of the house, then kicked open the door and rushed in.

Before Lin Lide could finish speaking, someone hurriedly knocked on the door and said, "Dear elders, something bad has happened. A large group of Western soldiers have broken into the town with Lin Tianyou!"

Zhou Yicai also said: "Although we have dug a lot of trenches and bomb shelters in the past month or so, it may not be enough to allow more than 30,000 people in the entire Eighth Alliance settlement area to hide in them.

Wouldn't it be better if we could fool Xiyi this time and buy another month?"

Hu Youcheng had the same idea, and immediately followed Chen Min and Lin Lide with a few of his men.

After hearing this, Lin Lide said angrily: "This beast! If he really goes to complain to Xiyi, I will beat him to death with my own hands!"

"If the Western barbarians find the weapons we have hoarded, it will be over."

The other elders also nodded in agreement.

When the other elders heard this, they all looked worried.

Although Spanish soldiers would patrol the towns and even villages of Balian before, they rarely entered houses and would not search house by house without reason.

In addition, in the past month or so, everyone has used cement smuggled from the Ming Dynasty to build some fortifications in some houses in the town. As for anti-gun trenches and bomb craters, there are even more.

Around this street, there are more than a dozen villages where many people live.

After listening to Lin Lide's words, he smiled and said: "We have been preparing for so long, but if we can't even kill dozens of Western soldiers, how can we talk about resisting the entire Manila Western army?

In this way, Mr. Chen will first send people to evacuate the people around the house, and leave the work to me and Mr. Lin."

Although the Eighth Alliance area is not big, it is not small either.

Therefore, after a moment of silence in the room, the clan elders became anxious.

"What should I do?"

···

Hu Youcheng first found Chen Min, and then successively found other clan elders through Chen Min - each clan has more than one clan elder. If a clan elder is away from the Eight Alliance for something, others can also attend the meeting.

.

"Pig, you dare to block our work, get out of here!"

Most of the sect elders were panicked, but Chen Min and Lin Lide were the only ones who remained calm.

There is currently a main street running through it, and along the street are Ming people's shops, just like some small towns in the Ming Dynasty, so some people are accustomed to calling the street a town.

But that beast knew about our ten surnames hoarding cold weapons before..."

Seeing that most of the elders were taking chances, Hu Youcheng was very anxious.

The reason why he left all external affairs to Hu Youcheng, a small flag, while he always hid in the dark, was for the safety of the telegraph machine.

"good!"

Chen Min responded and left with several clan members.

Hu Youcheng and Lin Lide also immediately called for manpower and took action...
