In order to prevent the real Japanese pirates from escaping the aborigines, passing through the primeval forests and swamps of the Taipei Basin, and escaping overland to Tamsui to report the news, the Marine Corps immediately regrouped, boarded a ship to Tamsui, and quickly annihilated the Japanese pirates entrenched there. .
The total distance from sea to Tamsui is fifty kilometers, which is equivalent to that of land, but the speed of a sailboat is much faster than two human legs.
Zhao Hao did not go to Tamsui. With the improvement of the Coast Guard system, there is no need for him to be in charge of operations of this level. If he is here, his subordinates will have to concentrate on protecting him, which may cause more chaos. And he had more important things to do in the chicken coop.
In addition to the direct guard, he left with him a light ship squadron and a speedboat squadron, as well as 200 marines and 300 Li Chao auxiliary police.
The fleet was on guard at both ends of Dajilong Island, and the Marines seized the time to rebuild the east and west forts. And carefully remove the explosives stuffed into the barrel.
The quality of the artillery at the Bugalao Forge is still very high. Although the cast iron cannons tend to rust on the seaside, the age of these artillery is less than one year. As long as they are carefully maintained, they can still be used for many years.
As long as the fort is restored, the safety of the harbor will be guaranteed. Of course, patrols at sea cannot stop. It would be ironic if someone followed suit and launched a night raid and landing.
Three hundred Li Chao auxiliary policemen, under the command of Tang Baolu, registered the rescued three thousand captives according to their origin. This was a huge project. The 3,000 people who were taken captive came from various sources. No more than one-tenth of them could speak Mandarin, and most of them were completely unable to communicate in the language. Moreover, all of them are in poor physical condition and their hygiene conditions are also very bad.
The auxiliary police officers of Li Chao who were used to being clean and tidy were so annoyed by them that they had no choice but to quietly put on another layer of masks and continue the laborious chat.
This is not the responsibility of the captives. There is no need to elaborate on how bad the environment in the Japanese concentration camps was. Anyway, after hearing that the Maharaja went in for inspection, he finally vomited so much that he couldn't hold it back even after drinking soda.
According to the rescued people, there were originally 5,000 prisoners in the concentration camp. After a summer of inhuman fatigue, hunger, and epidemics, a full 2,000 people had died.
Facing this cruel reality, Mei Nan finally admitted that Mr. Zhao was not the aggressor, but the savior. She also willingly revealed her identity as Ma Tianzhu in front of the captured Ketagalan people, and as expected, she immediately received the worship of these aborigines.
In the eyes of these Ketagalan people, Ma Tianzhu is the great savior sent by the goddess to save people in distress! It is God in the world!
At the same time, Tang Baolu also checked the seized property. He was busy all day and only compiled the list of seizures at dusk.
"Sir, these little devils are quite rich." He happily reported to Zhao Hao: "In addition to selling our stolen goods, there are also gains from robbery everywhere in the past two years. Because they were blocked by the Marine Police Station, there is no way to Transport them back to Kyushu Island and pile them all in the warehouse."
"Oh, how many?" Zhao Hao looked up from a map of chicken coops drawn by the Shimazu family.
"There are almost 20,000 taels of gold, 400,000 taels of silver, and various jewelry and spices that can be converted into one hundred thousand taels of silver." Tang Baolu said: "In addition, there are 3,000 pieces of deerskin, 2,000 pieces of felt, and 40,000 pieces of rice." stone, three thousand stone of flour, two thousand kilograms of salt and even hundreds of chickens and thousands of live pigs."
"So much rice?" Zhao Hao asked strangely. Although there were three thousand laborers to feed, he did not believe that Little Japan would allow them to eat rice.
"They were robbing the people of Ketagalan." Tang Paulu explained: "I heard from the Maharaja that Japan is very bad. They specialize in threshing straw during the summer harvest and looted all the food grown in more than a dozen of their villages. , and even captured their people as coolies.¡±
"That's it." Zhao Hao suddenly said: "I guess those deerskin pigs and chickens were also snatched from the aborigines."
¡°I thought the natives here relied on hunting for a living, but I didn¡¯t expect they also farmed.¡± Tang Baolu said with a smile.
"Nonsense, rice can be grown three times a year in Taiwan. Why don't they plant it?" Zhao Hao glanced at him and said, "Don't think of people as too barbaric. In fact, the indigenous people living in the plains, such as Ketagalan, People, Kavalan people, and other people from the Dadu Kingdom have long been mainly engaged in farming. As long as they are not pushed into a hurry, they can communicate with each other. They can be generally called the Pingpu people, which is relatively good. Get along with each other. The most difficult thing to deal with is the Gaoshan people who live in the mountains. The difference in lifestyle is the biggest barrier. Take your time and recover the Pingpu people first"
While the two were talking, Secretary Ma reported that the Maharaja had asked for an audience.
"Invite her in." Zhao Hao nodded and said to Tang Baolu: "Go and ask someone about those things."?The hot air balloon was invented.
But this is already the second-generation ship version. Compared with the original version, there is not even the slightest improvement.
First of all, when used at sea, it is impossible to light a fire on the ship to create hot air. In its place is a methane burner with a draft shield.
The research center has already mass-produced methane gas lamps. This burner simply amplifies it a hundred times, and is fed by a wrought iron tank filled with compressed methane, which can keep it aloft for half an hour. And by adjusting the firepower, you can also control the height of the hot air balloon and decide to land independently.
The researchers also designed a deflation valve on the balloon. As long as it is opened, the gas can be quickly discharged to achieve an emergency landing.
Correspondingly, there is no need to design the hanging basket to be hollow, and the riding experience will naturally be more comfortable.
Mr. Zhao put on his leather jacket, leather hat and goggles, then handed another set of equipment to Mei Nan and said:
"Let's go to heaven!"
