068 Rebellion arises
The 400,000 silver piled together is a small mountain, and the light of the silver taels is enough to make anyone lose their minds, and the Eight Banners waste like Ma Bao, who smokes big cigarettes and plays games, can't resist the temptation brought to him by so much money.
On the ground in Tanggu, there are two high-ranking officials, one civil and one military, the military attache is the largest to Xietai, that is, the position of the deputy general, and the largest civil official is Tongzhi, that is, the deputy of the prefect. Xietai Ma Bao and Tongzhi Zhou Mingkui were the highest administrative officials in Tanggu appointed by the Qing Dynasty.
Ma Bao felt that he was so lucky today, he actually arrived at Lotte Bank before Zhou Tongzhi, and he also met a gift package of 400,000 silver dollars, originally he thought that there were 120,000 in the sky here, but he didn't expect that there were so many.
Under the conspiracy between them and Huang Juren, it was the most important task to use the popular uprising to force Xiao Lotian away, and when the mob arrived, they ransacked Lotte in advance, which was Ma Bao Xietai's private plan.
Although ** Ren gave him 10,000 silver and two plays, it was far from enough for Ma Bao, who was insatiable. Don't everyone say that the two devils are possessed by the God of Wealth, and they are carrying a treasure plate on their backs? Then divide me with some flowers, and the soldiers will first take away the floating wealth in your store, and then push the black pot to those mobs, is there such a cool thing in the world?
Ma Bao felt excited when he thought about it, and he didn't sleep for half the night last night. The wait was worth it, and when the number of 400,000 got into his ears, it was like a little devil controlling his thinking, and Ma Xietai gave a strange cry and ordered to rob him on the spot.
Three hundred green battalion soldiers outflanked from the north and south, and at this time there were no more people watching the excitement on the streets, and even those who were making trouble in mourning were burrowing into the storefronts on both sides to avoid this terrible conflict.
The charge of three hundred men was truly earth-shattering, the tips of the shaking spears flashing through the streets like a jungle, and the waving steel knives flying up and down were much more wonderful than those staged on the stage. At that moment, Ma Bao felt that he was already possessed by the god of war, even if Guan Erye passed five levels and killed six generals, his majesty was nothing more than that.
He is even fantasizing, fantasizing about returning to Sijiu City, and bragging with the children in the teahouse and the green building, those Baqi disciples who have looked down on him since childhood, I want to slap him in the face and slap him back, I want to let you know what it means to know.
"Everyone listens to the order, the musket team shoots to the north, and the south street defends the ......" Just when Ma Bao was fantasizing, suddenly Xiao Letian roared from Lotte Bank, and at that moment not only Ma Bao and the businessmen were stunned, but even the mysterious guest upstairs of Lotte Bank was shocked.
I only heard the sound of the second floor banging, it was the sound of the tea bowl rolling to the ground, "This is the courage to cover the sky! I actually dare to shoot ......" Unfortunately, his emotion was not finished, and he only heard hundreds of people downstairs collectively shouting "Kill ......", and the entire foreign bank was shocked at that time, and even the bowl shelves fell down.
Luo Huo is now the captain ......of Xiao Letian's musketeers, and under his command, thirty musketeers rushed up the long street with expressionless faces, and soon a simple three-shot battle formation was lined up.
When the shield wall blocking the way dispersed, Luo Hu shouted murderously, "Listen to my command...... The first row of ...... was only heard with a muffled thunder, and the whole street was covered with white smoke, and everyone was suffocated at that moment, even the foreigners on the ships in the harbor were stupid, and they didn't know how to pick them up when they let the binoculars roll off the deck.
"Oh my God! The Qing people are in a civil war, and they have started a civil war...... All the sailors immediately defended, and the whole ship went into a defensive state......"
Luo Huo is the most loyal soldier under Xiao Letian, he swore when he was beaten in Yi County, and he will do it with his master in this life, although he doesn't know what Western learning is, but he is a musketeer trained by Mr. Xiao himself, and I am Mr. Xiao's mantle disciple.
In the Wolf Killing Pass of Taihang Mountain, Luo Huo's musket team once repelled Shi Dakai's elite bandits. In the mountains of Yanqing, western Beijing, the musketeers once defeated the proud Xiang family's apprentices. And now, this group of killing gods who have seen blood and temper their courage have finally aimed their muskets at this Qing Dynasty, although it is only a deputy general-level Xietai, but as long as this shot is fired, Xiao Letian's power will never be sticky with the Qing Dynasty.
"Don't ......," the mysterious guest on the second floor screamed, but the sound behind it was completely drowned out by the sound of gunfire. Under the command of Luo Huo, the three rows of muskets were fired like a torrential rain, and iron sand flew all over the sky, whizzing and swishing on the long street, and even the troublemakers wearing filial piety who were hiding in the shops were swept down a large area.
The sound of gunfire woke up Ma Bao's sweet dream like a muffled thunder, and this Eight Banners, who only knew how to bully the weak, had fallen under the horse's belly at that time, his brain had lost the ability to think, and his eyes had been filled with gunpowder and white smoke, and it was already blank.
How could this be? How could this be? Can all the merchants rebel, they want to kill me, they want to kill the officials and rebel! Ma Bao was like crazy and wanted to urge the horse to flee for his life, but when he looked at it again, he didn't know when or how he did it, and when he sat down, the war horse actually died!
The huge horse corpse pressed against his left leg, and the sharp pain stimulated his nerves, and he didn't know if it was broken or the bone was cracked, and he couldn't move at all anyway.
"Save me, why are you stunned to save me quickly......" Ma Bao himself couldn't understand why his voice changed, but at this time, no one cared whether he lived or died, because all the soldiers were also beaten stupid.
"On the second row, the first row is loaded with ammunition...... Put!"
"On the third row, the second row is loaded...... Put!"
"On the first row, the third row is back charged...... Put!"
Luo Huo now has a bit of the temperament of a commander, and he didn't use the musket on his back at all during the whole musket shooting, but just used the whip in his hand to direct the three teams of musketeers to shoot in turn. As long as anyone has any panic, he will go up with a whip, which is learned from Xiao Letian.
When the first round of gunfire rang out, the green battalion soldiers at the forefront of the charge seemed to have been slapped by an invisible door panel, and the charge was scattered by a huge force, and seven or eight soldiers who screamed strangely were even beaten by iron sand and spun around three times before falling.
After the second round of shooting, ten more soldiers immediately fell to the ground as if they had been struck by lightning, and the smell of blood had already penetrated from the thick smell of gunsmoke.
After the third round of shooting, there was no longer the slightest shouting and charging sound at the north and south ends of the long street, all the soldiers were stupid, they couldn't believe that a stinky merchant actually had a private army, and had a musket team, and the most important thing was that this stinky businessman really dared to shoot!
At this time, no one in the Lotte Foreign Company could still sit, all the businessmen shrunk into a ball and stared at Xiao Lotian who commanded the battle like watching the devil, and after each round of gunfire, there was a cry of fear from the crowd, and they could not forget this day for the rest of their lives.
"Run, ......" After three rounds of shooting, the green battalion soldiers finally woke up, and the greedy gaze in the eyes of this group of people finally changed to fear, and when they found out that 400,000 silver dollars were to be exchanged for their lives, they chose to flee for their lives as soon as possible.
The soldiers lifted the carcass of the horses, set up the horses and fled, and all of them quickly got out of the range of the muskets at twice the speed they had just charged, as fast as the ebb tide of the sea, and people could not imagine their eyes.
"You can't withdraw, everyone can't withdraw! If this matter reaches the court, Lao Tzu will have to lose his head, you can't retreat......" Ma Bao limped down the street.
"Lord Xietai, transfer the cavalry, don't we still have more than 200 cavalry in the camp, as long as there is one charge, this group of musketeers will not be finished immediately......"
"My lord, mobilize the shotgun battalion to come up, block the long street and shoot at them, we will definitely win if there are more of us......"
Ma Bao also sobered up a lot at this time, he knew that if he became a deserter, the court would never spare himself after knowing it, and he couldn't even deal with the private soldiers of more than 100 merchants, what was the use of the emperor asking him? What was even more terrifying was that once the matter got big and foreigners landed on the shore with guns and mixed in, it would be a big trouble.
"Mobilize troops, transfer troops immediately, all the musketeers in the camp have been transferred, I don't believe that Lao Tzu's three hundred guns can't be crushed to kill this group of stinky businessmen......" Ma Bao They got out of the range of the muskets, and now began to demolish the storefronts on both sides, tables, chairs, benches, bricks and tiles were piled up all over the long street, and a small defensive position was temporarily built.
At this time, Zhou Mingkui, who knew the same thing, finally arrived, and he rushed over with more than a white official in his hand, and asked, "What did you do? How did you sound the foreign guns?" Ma Xietai, what the hell is going on......
"Don't ask, damn Xiao Letian is a bullshit reader, and he still fucking writes books, this is a god-killing bandit...... actually privately stored musketeers, this two devils are going to rebel...... I'm unlucky!" Ma Bao scolded as he sighed.
After all, Zhou Mingkui was born as a civil official, and his brain was much brighter than Ma Bao's, so he analyzed it a little: "Brother Ma, don't look at the problem like this, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us! Isn't Xiao Letian more than 100 people in his hands? Let's kill him, this is a great contribution to counterinsurgency, and he is also the main cause of this popular uprising, how can the imperial court not reward us at that time?"
As soon as Ma Bao heard this, he turned around and slapped his thigh violently, "Oops...... It hurts!" he stretched out his hand and pointed at the herald and said, "Go and transfer our brothers to me, I have a heavy reward!"
Zhou Mingkui also stood up, "I will immediately send officials to encourage the people to attack the foreign company, I don't believe how many people they can kill with their dozens of muskets, we will drown it with human lives......"
From this moment on, the storm instigated by ** Ren and Xiao Pigtail Sun began to move to the government, and the two high-ranking officials of Tanggu Territory, Yiwen and Wu, have now officially taken over the baton, and the chaos began to change into a big riot.
Although there is only one word difference between chaos and riot, the difference between the smell of blood contained in it is a hundredfold and a thousand times, but in the eyes of officials, what is the big deal about the death of some untouchables. K
