Dayuan Bay is located in southern Taiwan and belongs to the later Tainan region.

Shortly after the Battle of the Liaoluo Bay, the Dutch made a comeback, occupied Dayuan Bay, and drove the islanders to build two fortresses, Rhelanzhe and Chikan, for the coolies.

At this time, the Dutch had occupied the senior members for twenty or thirty years, and because of maritime trade, the senior members had developed into a considerable city.

The Jelan Chateau is built on the bay sandbar, surrounded by sea water, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the main fort of the Dutch. For safety reasons, islanders are not allowed to gather around.

Chikan Fort was built on land, and around the fortress, a town was formed, gathering many coolies who transported goods to the Dutch, as well as shops and merchants.

In the early morning, a group of coolies on the dock outside Chikanburg were driven by the Dutch people and loaded boxes of goods onto a sea boat.

A strong man slipped his feet when he stepped on the boat board and suddenly missed the action. The heavy wooden box fell to the ground and made a loud noise. The box cracked, and straw and black muskets rolled out of the long wooden box.

Seeing this, the Dutch, who was supervising, came over in anger and picked up the butt, like a man smashing it, "Damn Chinese pig, do you want to die?"

The strong man was hit on the back twice, but he did not dare to resist, so he hurriedly stuffed the dropped musket into the box.

At this time, an old man hurriedly came forward, stopped the Dutch, and persuaded in Dutch with a Minnan accent, "Please let him go, please let him go!"

The old man was the head of the dock coolie, named Li Sen. The Dutch soldiers gave him some face. When they saw the musket being put back into the wooden box, they stopped and stood aside.

Li Sen hurriedly stepped forward to help the strong man up, "Xu Heizi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, head Li!" The man wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth and showed a reassuring smile.

Li Sen said: "You are as strong as a cow, you are just frivolous in your work. Since you are fine, be careful in the back. Those red-haired ghosts can't break into the blink of an eye."

Xu Heizi nodded, Li Sen patted his shoulder, and then he continued to transport goods to the ship.

At the beginning, the same long wooden box was used to carry, which should be flintlock muskets. Later, some tea and porcelain were transported to cover up the wooden box.

Xu Heizi and his team worked hard for a whole morning before loading a ship of cargo.

At noon, the sun was poisonous, and the coolies sat in the shade of trees to rest and recover some strength.

Xu Heizi sat next to Li Sen and wiped his face with the towel around his neck, "Li Head, thank you just now."

Li Sen was smoking a dry tobacco, "Be careful in the future."

Xu Heizi asked casually: "Li Tou, where did this ship go? Why do you still have so many muskets?"

Li Sen put down the cigarette butt, looked at Xu Heizi, and then casually said, "I heard that I went to the north. I always thought I was transporting some tea and ivory. I only realized today that the red-haired ghost also transported the musket!"

After saying that, Li Sen didn't say much, smashed his mouth and started smoking dry tobacco again.

At this time, the coolies took a break, and a man stood up and shouted: "Everyone has rested enough, it's time to go for a meal."

Li Sen's pipe was knocking on the soles of his shoes, and many coolies stood up one after another and prepared to go to a restaurant in the town for lunch.

A group of people walked towards the restaurant, but Xu Heizi said, "Everyone, go and eat first. The red-haired ghost hit me twice just now. My back hurts a little. Go and find the doctor!"

Li Sen glanced at him in confusion, then smiled and said, "Go! There is no work this afternoon, and everyone will part after dinner. I won't be able to use the dock in the afternoon!"

"I know, Li Head!" Xu Heizi said hurriedly.

He stood there and saw everyone walking away, then turned around and left quickly.

...........

Outside Chikan Castle, there is a market and a gathering place for the people, forming a city.

Western fortresses generally only protect lords and not people, so most cities do not have city walls to protect.

This is similar to the Japanese castle town, and it is completely different from the Chinese city, which wraps the entire city.

There is a medicine shop in the town under Chikan City. At first, he only sold some mothballs, but later he added some other medicinal materials one after another.

Taiwan has a humid and hot climate, and there are many mosquitoes and plagues, and people are prone to illness, so the business of the medicine shop is very good, especially the mothballs in his house, which even the red-haired ghosts often go to buy.

Because there are many people buying camphor and many people seeing a doctor, the pharmacy not only has doctors and friends, but also a accountant.

At noon, the weather was hot and there were fewer customers in the pharmacy shop. The doctor was busy placing the prescription. The guy was grinding the medicinal materials. The accountant was most comfortable and was lying on the rattan chair and drowsy.

At this time, Xu Heizi walked to the door of the store. The Huo Ji inside saw him and couldn't help but stop his hands and quickly stood up to greet him, "What do customers need? What is it uncomfortable to feel."

"The back hurts so hard. Can you take a look for me if you can do it!" Xu Heizi said.

The accountant on the rattan chair stood up and smiled and said, "Customers are invited in first, and the doctor will check it out for the guests later."

Xu Heihu then entered the pharmacy shop, walked directly through the lobby, entered the inner room, and a clinic.

Soon after, the accountant took the account in and Xu Heizi immediately bowed his fists and said, "The Lord!"

The accountant is named Sun Kaiqi, and the main steward of the Tiandihui Association. This pharmacy shop is a real pharmacy shop, which is Zhang Yida's property, but it was borrowed by the Tiandihui Association as an intelligence base for the senior officials.

Sun Kaiqi was in his thirties. When he saw Xu Heizi, he asked, "What did you find?"

Xu Heizi hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to the helm leader, the great general's magic trick, it was indeed a collusion between the Red Maple Yi and the Tartars. Today I found at the dock that the Red Maple Yi's sea boat was loaded with nearly a thousand muskets and was ready to be transported to the north in secret."

"It's outrageous!" Sun Kaiqi, who looked very weak, exuded a cold murderous aura on his body, "Sooner or later, the commander will deal with these red-haired ghosts."

After saying that, Sun Kaiqi paced back and forth in the room and suddenly asked, "Did that ship leave the Grandmaster Wharf?"

Xu Xu Heizi said: "Not yet, but the goods have been loaded and will leave at any time."

Sun Kaiqi then said in a deep voice: "Okay, after you go back, you must monitor it closely. Once the ship leaves the post, please inform me immediately! I will send someone to report to the headmaster immediately."

Xu Heizi immediately clasped his fists, "I understand!"

After saying that, he asked again: "Does the helm leader want the navy to intercept that sea ship?"

Sun Kaiqi said, "You shouldn't ask, don't ask."

Xu Heizi continued, "There is a Hongmao Yi named Feierduo on the boat. The Du Ri attacked and robbed me twice. If he caught him, he would even beat him to death and give him a blow."

Sun Kaiqi ignored it and waved his hand, "I understand. Go out and get two plasters in the lobby. If there is any situation, report to me immediately."
