Hokkiens have the world’s oldest and biggest coastal cannon is a fact certified by Guinness records hahaha.
And this biggest cannon made by Germans was partly paid by donation made by Hokkien businessmen in Xiamen. Hokkien charitable spirit really no horse run indeed.

當時胡里山炮台購買大炮的過程可謂曲折難過。當時的閩浙總督,也就是主管福建,浙江,台灣的軍事政務的封疆大臣卞寶第,啟奏皇帝——想要一門德國大炮放在廈門口岸,守好這廈門關口一地理要害。雖然當時的光緒帝同意了,但是卻讓卞寶第在自己的轄區內籌錢。巧婦難為無米之炊,卞寶第想盡辦法也不能籌到錢。無奈之下只好先於德國人簽合約,來個先斬後奏。

然而卞寶第沒能成功就病死了,繼任閩浙總督譚鍾麟假裝不想買大炮(是不是歷史美化此人,這點有待商榷),一拖再拖,但是德國人不樂意了,給朝廷施壓,使得清廷不得不同意購買。然而似乎清廷到了最後一秒也沒有錢,最終還是用貸款,加上廈門地方紳商捐款才湊足金額。

At that time, the process of buying cannons at Hulishan Fort was a tortuous one. At that time, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the minister of the military affairs of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Taiwan, and the emperor of the military, wanted a German artillery to be placed at the Xiamen port, keeping the geography of Xiamen. Although the Emperor Guangxu agreed at the time, it allowed Qi Bao to raise money in his own jurisdiction. It is difficult for a clever woman to have no rice, and she can’t raise money if she tries her best. In desperation, they had to sign the contract before the Germans.

However, when Suibao failed to succeed, he died. The successor of the Zhejiang-Zhejiang Governor Tan Zhonglin pretended not to buy a cannon (it is not to beautify this person in history). This is a drag on the move, but the Germans are not happy and pressure the court. So that the Qing court had to agree to buy. However, it seems that the Qing court did not have the money in the last second. In the end, it still used loans, and the donations from Xiamen local merchants only made up the amount.

Bastard Qing government got money to repair gardens no money to buy cannons. Need local county to come up with own money to buy cannons. What a shameful government. Bastard behavior indeed.

Whilst good people did good things, bad people did bad things. Good hokkiens paid for two big cannons but now only one left as the other was removed in 1958 and treated as scrap metal for making steel in the Great Leap Forward movement by Mao Zedong. It’s a mad world indeed.

This mad world is full of bad people indeed. The two big Krupp cannons came with two smaller cannons but both stolen and removed by Japs when they invaded and occupied Xiamen in 1938.

西炮的编号为“28cm K.L/40 C/86”,即1886年生产,于1958年大炼钢铁运动中被拆毁。[2]。除了两门280毫米的主炮外,炮台原还有两门口径150毫米的副炮,但都于1938年5月被占领厦门的日军运走。[4]

The truth is good people get exterminated while bad and mad people get away scot free and roam freely - be it in this forum or in real life.
