Jiangsu, Xuzhou, Xuzhou Port.
Xuzhou Port was located in the lower part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It was a port with very developed cargo and fishing industries.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen traitors in black, carrying more than 100 young girls in their twenties, heading towards the port's cargo terminal.
On the dock, there was a small cargo ship with more than ten men in kimonos and wooden clogs.
"Taijun, according to your instructions, we have brought 100 young girls. They are all beautiful local girls who are specially here to show their respect to you. Commander Zhang said that our friendship is very good!”
The traitor who spoke was the deputy director of Xu Prefecture's police station under Zhang Xun. He was dressed in plain clothes to attract attention.
"Hey, you guys have a good conscience. I'll talk to Colonel Yoshida and put in a good word for you!”
The Japanese man who spoke smiled wretchedly.
In fact, since the rise of the Qing Dynasty, many big shots of the country had been involved with the Japanese. For example, the abdication of the Qing emperor, Yuan Shikai's appointment as president, and later as emperor had a lot to do with the Japanese.
The confrontation between Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui was also fueled by the Japanese. Li Yuanhong was backed by the United Kingdom and the United States, so the Japanese could only support Duan Qirui. However, Duan Qirui's character made it difficult for the Japanese to quickly obtain large benefits.
They had Zhanghun on their side, but Zhanghun's background was unclear to the Japanese. Without the support of the Japanese, would a puny Zhanghun dare to lead 3000 soldiers north?
After the traitor finished contacting the Japanese, the Japanese wanted to pull the girls onto the boat and do some dirty things.
"Sakata-kun, this time, we will take away the 100 beautiful girls from Jiangnan. After we use them up the first time, we will sell them to the West or Southeast Asia.”
"Yeah, even if we calculate it by night, if we go to Nanyang, we can get half a dollar to a dollar a night for a girl of this quality!”
"This way, a year is about 400 dollars, and 100 of them are about 40000 dollars. If he sold it directly, the price would be at least two or three times higher!”
"Yo, we're going to make a fortune. Cheers to our fortune, cheers to the prosperity of our empire's martial arts!”
…
A few Japanese people were more excited. They were either members of the Black Dragon Gang or soldiers of the army. The Shanghai Military Police Headquarters had received heavy responsibility from the headquarters. They had to make up for the money that the Japanese had lost to Cai Hu.
That's why this is happening
…
On the light cruiser Southwest Tiger.
Zhang Yilong held onto a pair of high-powered naval binoculars and looked into the distance.
People in kimonos and wooden clogs entered his sight at Xuzhou Port. Then, girls with their hands tied were escorted onto the cargo ship.
"Not good, Major, something seems to have happened at Xu Zhou Harbor!”
Zhang Yilong opened his mouth in shock.
Cai Hu was originally admiring the fish jumping in the river and admiring the beautiful rivers and mountains. After hearing Zhang Yilong's words, he immediately took the binoculars and looked at Xu Zhou Harbor.
The innocent girls were tied up and boarded the boat. The flag on the boat was the ointment flag, and the people on it were all wearing kimonos.
Cai Hu seemed to have guessed something. In that instant, his face darkened, and his entire person was extremely gloomy.
"Yilong, quickly send out warships and gunboats to seal off this port!”
"Also, arrest all the Japanese cargo ship merchants at the dock and detain all the cargo ships!”
…
Cai Hu said angrily.
"Young Marshal, this might cause a dispute between us and Japan!”
Zhang Yilong said worriedly.
"It's okay. Do as I say!"
"This time, if the Japanese really dare to do anything, I don't mind taking the opportunity to clean up the Japanese liner at this dock!”
…
Cai Hu said.
Very soon, under Cai Hu's orders, Zhang Yilong instructed the flag bearer. On the Southwestern Tiger, as the flag bearer waved the flag, ten 100-ton gunboats quickly headed towards the dock of Xuzhou Port, surrounding the dock tightly.
There were also six armed mini merchant ships under Zhang Xun's command near the dock. These six small merchant ships swam over, and each of them had a row of soldiers standing on them.
"This is Xu Zhou Harbor. Without Commander Zhang's orders, no warships are allowed to stay here!”
The platoon leader of an armed merchant ship saw that this was a warship from the southwest and immediately shouted. In their opinion, Commander Zhang was now the emperor's favorite. Even the Grand President had been ousted by him, let alone Cai Hu from the southwest.
Cai Hu couldn't be bothered with him at all. It was just a small armed merchant ship weighing a dozen tons.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the six armed merchant ships took out their Hanyang rifles and fired at Cai Hu's warship.
They also grazed a few marines and immediately set fire to a few gunboat captains. The cannons and main cannons on these gunboats opened fire.
At this distance, in just a single exchange, the six armed merchant ships were smashed into pieces, and the soldiers inside were also blown into pieces.
After that, the light cruisers and military ships docked. The 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion were the first to go ashore and surrounded all the merchant ships and passenger ships with Japanese backgrounds.
"Traveler, we found 100 girls on this cargo ship. According to the traitor's confession, the Japanese are going to sell these girls to the West or Southeast Asia!”
The battalion commander of the 1st regiment said.
When Cai Hu heard this, he was furious. He immediately ordered the Japanese to be detained on the dock and executed collectively.
"Baka, it's none of our business. We're legal citizens!”
"Why are you arresting us? We are merchants!”
"You bunch of robbers, this is a passenger liner under the Japanese Mitsui Cruise Company. Why are you arresting us?”
…
At the port, all the Japanese were arrested, and all the passenger ships and cargo ships were confiscated.
If the Chinese employed by Japan had misdeeds, they would be detained. If they did not, they would be dismissed and released.
Not long after, thousands of Japanese people were squatting on the dock, and 20% of them were young Japanese women on the liner.
Cai Hu looked at the Japanese who were squatting like dogs and sneered. I'm in a bad mood today. You guys are unlucky.
Cai Hu had obtained a lot of irrefutable evidence from the traitor and the crew members on the cargo ship.
No one could guarantee that the same thing had not happened to the other cargo ships and passenger ships. Immediately, these 1000 people were detained by Cai Hu. After taking down the first city, they were thrown into the dungeon.
The roads and mines in the southwest needed labor, and these Japanese men could be used as laborers. Even those women could use the British channels and be thrown to India's Asana. They could probably earn a lot of money.
At the port of Xu Prefecture, Zhang Xun's Braids Battalion was stationed. This battalion was only equipped with Hanyang and two Maxim's.
They were stationed less than three miles away from the port. After hearing the gunshots from the port, they swarmed out.
However, when the light cruisers and two destroyer ships anchored near the port of Xu Prefecture saw this, their main cannons buzzed.
The main cannon of this light cruiser could shoot for over ten miles, and a cannonball weighed about ten kilograms. A few cannonballs were thrown out at once, and the cannonballs exploded in the group of plaited soldiers.
The ground instantly buzzed as the blast from a cannonball flew a hundred meters away. Before the group of plaited soldiers could even charge over, more than half of them were killed or injured.
