At first, the gunshots from the Tongzhi Yamen only surprised the people, but after the thunderous gunshots came from the Western official roads, the people of the entire city were all fried.

Five years ago, when the British and French troops landed at Dagukou, the common people heard such a dense gunfire, and the tragic battle was still vivid in their minds at that time.

The small people threw away the tatters that were not worth a few dollars, rushed into the night with their families, and fled in the north and south directions. At first, it was only a scattered family or two, but the ten minutes of intensive musket fire made all the people let go of their unrealistic illusions, and more people joined the flood of flight.

The whole city of Tanggu fell into a panic, the adults in the streets shouted, women and children cried bitterly, the thugs took advantage of the chaos to rob money and rob sex, the big businesses closed their doors and closed their doors to load foreign guns to protect themselves, and even the foreigners began to use armed sailors to protect the expatriates, and many sea ships simply opened their decks to allow their own people to board the ships quickly.

There were exceptions to the chaos, such as Matthew and Mike, two adventurous lads in lean cowboy suits, with bullet belts wrapped around their chests, two revolvers on the left and right at their waists, and two Spencers on his back.

What's even more exaggerated is that Mike's guy, he actually carried a big tripod on his shoulder, and the bulky camera poked on the side of the street to start shooting, and the two of them were actually searching for the latest material for "Matthew's Diary". They began documenting the chaos using the most advanced photographic technology of the time.

Now the people no longer care about the rumors of taking pictures to capture people's souls, they scattered outside the city like crazy, everyone hid due west of the official road, and the chaotic Tongzhi Yamen, some chaotic thugs did not know that their brains were wrong, and they actually wanted to rob the two foreigners who took pictures, but Spencer fired three shots at the sky, and these gangsters fled faster than rabbits.

"God bless these poor people, what kind of government is it that they encounter, which cannot give even the most basic order to the people? This is hell...... Oh my God, Matthew, look, isn't that Xiao Letian's alarm fireworks?

Mike had been in contact with Xiao Lotian earlier than Matthew, and he knew that Xiao Lotian had a very interesting way of communicating at night, which was this bright fireworks. Different colors represent different meanings, and the fireworks of this multicolored ball represent 100,000 fires, which shows that Xiao Lotian has fallen into great danger.

That's right, now Xiao Letian is almost choking to death, although just now he squeezed Sun Sanhu with words, so that he didn't dare to kill for the sake of silver, and could only catch him alive, but no one thought that this immoral bastard would actually light firewood and grass in the limelight, splashing water while burning, and making billowing smoke pour into the house.

"Fan the wind, fan the wind hard...... Bring me all the peppers in the kitchen, and I'll choke them to death, and I'll catch them alive when the time comes...... Smash the rocks, smash all the windows for me, you be careful with the gun......"

The crossbow arrows and the foreign guns sprayed iron and sand suppressed Xiao Letian's counterattack, and the smoke and coughing sound were connected into a film. Xiao Lotian and the others in the house were all lying on the ground, and the old man Fan Ru was too old, and now he was choked and almost out of breath.

The guards used daggers to cut pieces of curtains and spray water for everyone, which barely blocked part of the smoke and dust, Fan Yao lay beside his brother and said bitterly.

"My good big brother, today you know what kind of money we earn, right? This is all money from the gun, you can't do it, if you get out of danger safely this time, you can go back to your hometown, this world is not what you think it is......

Fan Ru was speechless at this time, except for coughing and coughing, and the old tears in his eyes didn't know whether they were choking or tears of remorse.

After waiting for a while, when the bright red pepper and the pitch-black pepper anise were sprinkled on the fire, the poisonous gas of the added material made it even more unbearable, and the eldest Fan Ru was the first to resist it, and his eyes rolled and he fainted to the ground.

"Big brother, wake up, big brother...... Ahem, ahem..."Fan Xue didn't shout a word, and he had already begun to cough.

At this time, Sun Sanhu's roar came from outside, "Surrender, you guys surrender quickly... Xiao Letian, I'll tell you the truth, the Xiao family's mansion is now in danger, don't think it's great that you left fifty guards with guns, I have found out clearly, the door of the mansion is full of your women, if you don't surrender Lao Tzu and set fire to them, don't think that my people are all eating dry food..."

"I cāo... I think you dare to ......" Xiao Letian's lungs are about to explode now, on the one hand, it is choked by the smoke, and on the other hand, it is the heart of the heart after the battle plan is disrupted.

Xiao Le really wanted to beat himself up, could it be said that a victory in Naha would swell himself to such a point? Underestimate the enemy, Yan zhòng's underestimation of the enemy, although the ability of this decadent and unfallen Qing Dynasty has almost forgotten the ability to do good things, but the ability to do bad things and dismantle the stage has not been lost at all, and even the more he delves in, the more mature he becomes.

"I'm cāo, let me go out and kill him......" Long Ye wanted to go crazy on the spot, but Xiao Letian held him down, "Don't be impulsive, I can't be brutal when I am outnumbered, put a signal, put the most urgent signal, I don't believe me, Xiao Lotian doesn't even have a friend in his life?"

In the hands of Long Ye, the special fireworks balls rushed diagonally into the sky along the window, exploding flowers one after another in the dark night, and the entire Tanggu City could be seen clearly.

Sun Sanhu obviously didn't know what this kind of fireworks was for, he just thought that Xiao Letian was sending a signal to his new army, and he laughed arrogantly, "The surname Xiao, don't you just rely on the devil army in your hands?" I know that the foreign guns in their hands are very powerful, but you remember, Lao Tzu mobilized two thousand green battalion soldiers, and you can't kill them all when you are tired, and when they come to save you, you will already become my prisoners, hahaha......"

Just when Sun Sanhu was laughing arrogantly, suddenly a thunderous roar erupted in Tanggu City, which was not clear at first, but after ten minutes, it was already connected.

"Assemble, rush...... Save Mr. Xiao, save Lord Xiao......" In the shouts one after another, Sun Sanhu's face became extremely blue.

Matthew and Mike, who were on the street in the distance, silently recorded the conflict with their cameras, and the two of them were already in tears of excitement. They didn't expect that when Xiao Letian's warning fireworks flew into the sky, the doors of countless businesses in Tanggu were opened, and the guys with foreign guns rushed towards the Tongzhi Yamen like crazy under the leadership of the shopkeeper.

"Run, run, everyone speed up, Lao Tzu will give you three times the salary, I just want you to rescue Mr. Xiao......"

"Brothers, we can beg for a bowl of rice in Tanggu, thanks to Xiao Letian's protection, we can't forget our roots, without Mr. Xiao, we are a ......."

"Fight, fight, anyway, this bit of family business is also given by Lotte Yangxing, even if it is all bad, it's not a pity, let's go and repay the kindness......"

The merchants, led by the shopkeeper Niu of the Four Seas, turned into iron-blooded generals one by one, and rushed to the yamen with armed men against the flow of people.

Businessmen, although they are slaves to money, are also the pioneers of the whole society to open their eyes to the world. Their vision is always the most advanced.

In the summer riot, these merchants were bankrupt, and it was Xiao Letian's grace that gave them another chance to revive, a kindness they will never forget. In the Qing Dynasty, when would there be a loan of one or two cents? This is something that people dare not imagine, but only Xiao Letian, a fool from overseas, actually lent everyone such a low interest rate.

Not only that, but he doesn't play the game of profit, and he doesn't rob everyone's physical business, and in the past few months, Lotte has picked up the business that everyone is unwilling to do or can't do. This shows that Xiao Lotian is not here to steal everyone's business at all.

This is grace, this is love, how can a person be ungrateful in his life? Anyway, this life was saved by Xiao Letian, so give it back to him today.

The businessmen are very smart, they are not only for kindness, they pay more attention to practical interests, these maritime merchants more or less know what Xiao Lotian did in Naha, and they are very clear about Xiao Letian's strength. In today's conflict, who else can they bet on if they don't bet their chips on Xiao Letian?

It is based on various considerations that the Tanggu business district did not even discuss in advance and took refuge in Xiao Letian's camp, and today when they saw the fireworks asking for help, they all went crazy, opened the door panel and rushed to the street with their guys.

The dead soldiers outside the yamen never thought that a group of crazy guys rushed up in the dark, and before they could speak, there was a burst of foreign guns.

"Fight, fire, kill all these thugs who are pretending to be guards, let's go save Mr. Xiao..."

In the rain of bullets, a famous dead soldier was beaten into a sieve, and the surviving guys hurriedly rushed into the yamen, and after a while, the dead soldiers guarding the yamen launched a Jedi counterattack. However, they underestimated the energy of these merchants, don't look at a foreign firm that can only provide twenty or thirty guys, but there are countless foreign firms in the Tanggu business district, and soon three or four hundred guys with guns will surround them.

What's even more terrifying is that these foreign businessmen are too rich, and the muskets they bought were all famous guns in the world at that time, and the most of them were Remington, the famous guns of the American Civil War.

Although this rifled gun is not as powerful as Spencer, it is enough to deal with these soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, with a long range and high accuracy, and they often fire outside the range of the bow and crossbow, and the dead soldiers who hit them can't raise their heads at all.

"Move stones, smash the gate, let's rush in to save people..."With the roar of the cow shopkeeper, the big bluestone carried by the two hit the black lacquered wooden door, only to hear a loud bang, and the gate of the yamen was smashed and smashed.

"Fire, repel this group of grandsons..."The muzzles of dozens of black holes outside the hole stretched out, and a dense burst of fire spewed out the dead soldiers in the door crying dad and mother. R405
