Chapter 66: The Second Great Smoke War (4)
"Master, there are people outside who want to see the Governor's Mansion." Yue Shousong's housekeeper said to Yue Shousong with some trepidation.
"What are they doing here?" Yue Shousong asked with a dark face.
"They said they asked the master to go and talk about things." The butler replied.
"Let's just say I'm not in good health and can't go." Yue Shousong replied angrily. At this time, the last thing he wanted to see was the people who had recovered the Governor's Mansion, let alone go to discuss some bullshit matters.
"Master......" the butler replied a little timidly, "the people from the Governor's Mansion said that if the master is not in good health, they bring a sedan chair, and if the master does not get up, they will send people to wait for the master to get up at our doors." If the old man is seriously ill ......, they said that there is no need to worry, they have brought a doctor with them on this trip, and they will definitely be able to take care of the old man......"
"Fart!" Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Yue Shousong had already scolded angrily.
The butler lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. And Yue Shou stood up loosely and walked back and forth in the hall angrily. After walking hatefully for a while, he asked, "Did the Liberation Army really block our door?" ”
"They did block the door." The butler replied cautiously.
Could it be that the Liberation Army knows some news? Yue Shousong thought. But on second thought, if they really knew something, they wouldn't have done it now, right? Looking at the aggressive appearance of the Guangfu Army before, I think they should want Yue Shousong to bow to them.
Although he was not completely sure, Yue Shousong subconsciously chose a reason not to fight with the Guangfu Army for the time being. Because Yue Shousong knew very well that now that the British had not made a move, and the strength of the Liberation Army had not been mobilized on a large scale, with the troops in Yue Shousong's hands alone, he would not be able to resist the Liberation Army at all. Thinking of this, Yue Shousong said, "Prepare some silver for me and prepare a sedan chair." Let's go and see how the Liberation Army wants to fight the autumn wind. ”
When Yue Shousong arrived at the Guangfu Governor's Mansion, there were already a few people sitting in the living room, except for those who had already been in contact with Yue Shousong, the others were local tobacco dealers. Yue Shousong immediately felt that something was wrong, and gathered these people, and the Guangfu Army must have been uneasy and kind.
But the matter was already under Yue Shou's control, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed in outside the hall, and when they came up, they used fire to force the men they brought in. Those subordinates claim to be the hardcore of these big tobacco dealers, and when they are in crisis, they will not want their own lives, but they will also protect the safety of the owner's family.
But at this time, although they were frightened, they did not resist in the slightest. Soon he was obediently tied and dragged down by ropes. The soldiers of the Guangfu Army tied up Yue Shousong and others again. At this time, Shi Shiran walked in a few people from outside the door, for Wu Qilu. Yue Shousong knew that he had been completely defeated this time, and the remorse in his heart was indescribable. It was because he knew that he couldn't defeat the Guangfu Army at this time, and he had seen the ruthlessness shown by the Guangfu Army when it cleared out the people loyal to the Manchu forces, so he chose to be false and wrong, waiting for the opportunity. If you know that the Liberation Army has made up its mind, then no matter what the outcome, you have to start first. At most, let the others resist, Yue Shousong himself quickly fled to Foshan or Hong Kong, which was controlled by the British.
It's just that it's too late to think about anything now, and Yue Shousong had already shouted around before he was arrested, and those who were soldiers were not moved at all. Now that he saw Wu Qilu, who was in charge, he naturally couldn't help but shout a few more words, "Why are you arresting us?" ”
I didn't expect the enemy to throw himself into the net so easily, Wu Qilu was in a very good mood, and he smiled calmly: "Mr. Yue Shousong, there are a few others." I formally accuse you of colluding with the British to overthrow the power of the Governor's Office. Now I formally arrest you on the grounds that you have committed treason. I advise you to be taken down for a while, and then you will honestly confess, and the flesh and skin of the province will suffer. ”
"What are these people thinking?" The victory came so easily, Wu Qilu's words couldn't help but be frivolous.
"What are you waiting for? Wait for death! ”
"Aren't they waiting for the British to do it first!"
"Or they think that we and the Manchus are the No. 1 goods, and they are procrastinating."
"I don't have the strength to do it, so I naturally wait for others to give them a chance. But our Liberation Army is not going to give them a chance! ”
Everyone solved the enemy, and they were in a good mood, and they also taunted together. The troops did have such excited capital, and the victory in Jiangmen was indeed easy, and those regimental training leaders had to come to the meeting in order to perfunctory the recovery of the army. As soon as they entered the trap of the Liberation Army, the troops of the Liberation Army immediately pounced on the lair of the regimental training leader. Those regimental drills were not led, and they were surrounded by large soldiers, and immediately surrendered. Without a single shot, hundreds of core members of the militia and merchant groups were captured. The periphery of these local forces was originally to fight the autumn wind and eat with mixed rice. The troops only had to control the key figures in the peripheral forces, and the peripheral forces were immediately completely paralyzed. If it was really completely organized, the armed forces of two or three thousand people would officially collapse, and they would no longer have the ability to cause trouble.
The crowd boasted about themselves for a while, and was greatly satisfied. The issue of discussion then shifted to a more serious direction. The Liberation Army used the British invasion as a pretext to eradicate the big tobacco dealers and the armed forces close to the British in the base area. Without the support of these thieves, how would the British use their naval superiority?
"The British have now captured the city of Canton. Our troops had already begun to build an encirclement of Canton on 6 places, and if they left Canton completely, it would be tantamount to admitting that they had lost. If they were to defend with Guangzhou City as the center, they would naturally not have so much strength. We have some seaports in Jiangmen, and British ** ships may be able to come to us. However, they came ashore in the hundreds. If the British dare to break out of the protective circle of their naval guns, we will go out and fight them to the death on 6 grounds. Grandma's, the British's total strength is only 8,000, and we have fought all over in Guangdong. The Governor is just right in command of a large army to enter Hong Kong! Comrades have no confidence! In the end, Wu Qi, who used to be responsible for political propaganda work, shouted loudly.
Put the British on the ground 6 to fight, and the Liberation Army did not mean to be afraid of the British at all. Although I don't know how powerful the British navy is, if the British army of 8ooo people is surrounded by 100,000 people in 6 places. Even if the British have three heads and six arms, the Liberation Army firmly believes that they can dismantle the British into eight pieces.
"Kill all the British!" Someone shouted.
"Kill the British!" Someone shouted in more concise words.
This clear-cut, purposeful phrase quickly resonated, "Kill the British!" "Kill the British!" "Kill the British!" The fierce cry is an expression of shared confidence and courage.
The local problems in Jiangmen were solved smoothly, but the armed forces in some places were far more vigilant than those in Jiangmen, such as Yue Shoushan in Foshan, and before the British sent an envoy at the appointed time, Yue Shoushan felt that something was very wrong.
At this time, the Guangfu Army sent people to block the door of Yue Shoushan's house, and asked Yue Shoushan to go to the office of the local Guangfu Governor's Mansion to discuss things as if he wanted to make things difficult for hooligans. Yue Shoushan's reaction was undoubtedly more backbone, and he immediately followed the plan he had made in advance, and suddenly took his family and subordinates to forcibly make it difficult.
Those who came to ask for help were also prepared, and immediately counterattacked when they encountered a surprise attack by the enemy. It was just that it could not stand the large number of people on the other side, and more than half of the troops in a platoon of more than 40 people suffered casualties, so they could only leave behind the sacrificed comrades and seriously injured comrades and quickly retreat.
Hearing the sound of gunfire and shouting of killing, with Yuefu as the center, the people on the street began to flee desperately. The store is closed and the occupants are locked. As the news spread, the lively Foshan soon fell silent. Yue Shoushan contacted his subordinates according to the plan, gathered three or four hundred people and killed them.
But the full set of the Guangfu Army has been set up for several months, where will Yue Shoushan be given any chance. In other words, the plan of the Liberation Army has reached the point where it can "give Yue Shoushan a chance". When Yue Shoushan rushed out of Yue's mansion, in addition to summoning his troops and the big tobacco dealers he had contacted, the local tycoons who had been in contact with him before also received Yue Shoushan's notice. Foshan martial arts is very strong, and a considerable part of the so-called Guangdong Ten Tigers are from Foshan. Yue Shoushan believes that if these people are involved, it is not impossible to turn Foshan upside down.
The facts made Yue Shoushan a little disappointed, most of the local heroes in Foshan did not give Yue Shoushan any response, and only a few people with strong blood and strength brought people to join Yue Shoushan's troops. Hundreds of troops rushed to the barracks and arsenals in the city. Yue Shoushan doesn't believe in such bold words as "You have modern technology, I have divine power to protect the body". Defecting to the British, it was precisely Yue Shoushan's firm belief that the British had more advanced technology and advanced weapons than the Liberation Army.
Seeing that there was no Liberation Army on the road ahead, Yue Shoushan shouted: "Quick! Fast! The British troops have come out of our Foshan! By robbing the arsenal, we will be able to win the Liberation Army and hold out until the British arrive! ”
Involved in such a battle, those people know that it is a matter of life and death. Under the leadership of Yue Shoushan, they rushed to the arsenal with their lives.
Compared with the thirteen elements, the Yue family is actually nothing. Those who participated in the rebellion this time knew that the Thirteen Elements were not far away, and at that time, the Thirteen Elements did not expect the Restoration of the Governor's Mansion to suddenly make a move, let alone that the Restoration of the Governor's Mansion was not with the attitude of making a profit, but with the determination to destroy the Thirteen Elements. What once seemed like a powerful organization collapsed in an instant. If this group of people does not show the determination to die, it will only be a dead end.
When I arrived at the barracks, the vision in front of me suddenly opened up. However, I saw that several groups of soldiers of the Liberation Army completely ignored the group of people who came straight to them, and just began to neatly form several rows of subordinates in an orderly array according to the orders of the officers. This calm attitude made Yue Shoushan feel a strong danger. He stopped and shouted, "Shoot them!" Shoot and disrupt their array, then rush over! ”
The core personnel of the Yue family also obeyed the command, and they stopped and began to reload their bullets. The others also stopped, hiding in hidden places on both sides of the road, waiting for the fire. Without waiting for the people of the Yue family to prepare for shooting, the bullets of the Guangfu Army on the opposite side were fired. Yue Shoushan's eyesight is very good, he only saw the soldiers of the Guangfu Army with extremely smooth movements, loading bullets, all through, mixing guns, putting on fire caps, all actions like a cloud of water, and they were completed in an instant. After loading, the soldiers of the Guangfu Army raised their guns to aim, and the bullets flew towards the Yue family's troops.
This kind of counter-firing ratio is the degree and firepower density, and the Guangfu Army undoubtedly has the upper hand in all aspects. Before the smoke of gunpowder completely obscured his vision, Yue Shoushan saw that the soldiers in the front row of the Liberation Army did not continue to reload their bullets, but handed over the finished infantry to the people behind them, and took the loaded infantry from the back platoon and continued to shoot. A storm of bullets rushed in his face, and the fire fighters of the Yue family fell to the ground one after another like rice hit by a typhoon. Even those who were hiding on both sides and preparing to go up for hand-to-hand combat screamed one after another after being shot.
After shooting for an unknown amount of time, the sound of shooting by the Liberation Army on the opposite side finally stopped. In the thick smoke that almost suffocated people's breath, there was a sound of footsteps. Yue Shoushan has seen it, he has seen the British do this trick when they are performing. Sure enough, a swaying figure gradually appeared in the smoke of gunpowder, and a few moments later, the infantry of the Liberation Army with bayonets had already quickly crossed the smoke between the warring sides and killed the Yue family, whose morale had fallen to the bottom.
Whether it is the militia group, the merchant group, or the bloody Fang Gang, the young man who is quite famous in the martial arts world of Foshan has only slightly confronted the bayonet charge of the Guangfu Army, and now the opponent's cold weapon kung fu is by no means a fancy style. The already chaotic queue of these local rebels in Foshan completely collapsed. From front to back, everyone began to flee for their lives. And there was no room for so many people on the street for a while, and they were crowded with each other.
The soldiers of the Liberation Army stabbed their bayonets in the back of a group of fleeing people. In the midst of the screams, these rebels, who might not have lost to the soldiers of the Liberation Army lightly, were easily stabbed to death one by one with a bayonet.
Some of the rebels ran early, but bad luck didn't let them go. The troops of the Liberation Army had already laid an encirclement network, and various squads surrounded them from all directions in a neat and orderly manner.
At this time, there were no pedestrians on the street, and even if ordinary people watched the excitement, they were hiding at home and peeking in fear from the cracks in the doors and windows, where did they dare to go to the street at this time. The order received by the Liberation Army at this time was naturally to "kill the rebels," so whenever they saw a person on the street who was not wearing a military uniform, the troops would greet them with a bullet.
The fleeing people were already frightened, and when they scattered and fled, they saw the Liberation Army, which was superior in numbers, and they had no courage to resist. Those who were not killed by the bullet immediately turned around and continued to flee. But the encirclement tightened more and more, and they were like rats in bellows, unable to find a way out. At this time, the doors of the houses were closed everywhere, and some people jumped into the courtyards of other people's houses, which immediately caused the screams and shouts of the heads of households. The Liberation Army had sufficient troops, and it happened to go over and capture or kill these people.
The encirclement shrank smaller and smaller, and the last few dozen people saw themselves blocked at an intersection, and the four passages were full of troops. They no longer have the same courage as they did at the beginning, and they don't know who took the lead and knelt on the ground with their hands raised, and the others immediately followed. The rebellion was completely quelled within four or five hours. It's just that when the rebels were inspected, whether it was a living person or a dead body, there was no trace of the culprit Yue Shoushan. He deserves to be the head snake of the land, and he escaped at some point.
