Section 18 Disorder
Chen Zuoxin was full of anger, not only dissatisfied with the incompetence of the people of the League, but also extremely resentful of the masses who participated in the run at this moment. The incompetence of the Confederate congregation, he knew it long ago; The citizens of Changsha who participated in the run were so unreasonable and disregarded the overall situation, which made him feel particularly resentful.
With nowhere to vent his anger, he jerked his mount hard. The horses were in pain and ran like meteors. Fortunately, at this time, the sky was already dusk, the sun was already slanting to the west, and the long street was sparsely populated, and most of the citizens also went to the Wenchang Pavilion outside the north gate to participate in the run. Otherwise, Chen Zuoxin will hurt others and himself if he runs like this.
The blood-like sunlight spread along the road, and Chen Zuoxin urged the horse to gallop in the bloody light of this road. His horse was extremely fast, and after a while, he arrived at the Iron Buddha Temple at the north gate. At this time, the horses galloped all the way, and they were already a little powerless, but Chen Zuoxin's heart was like a hurry, and he still waved the whip vigorously to urge the horse forward.
In the empty streets, only the horse's hooves could be echoed.
Who knew that Kankan arrived at the gate of the Iron Buddha Temple, Chen Zuoxin was about to turn the intersection, the strange change was steep, and a tripping rope suddenly appeared on the street.
said that it was too late, and Chen Zuoxin could run over the tripwire, and there was a white light, with the sound of whirring wind, like thunder and lightning, and it slashed straight towards the door in front of him.
Chen Zuoxin only felt that the cold wind was whistling, rushing towards his face, and the instinct cultivated by years of martial arts practice made him tilt his head sharply and dodge this fatal blow in time. But the knife light came too fast, and in the end, he didn't dodge it all, and the white light roared down, shaving off Chen Zuoxin's left forehead, even the belt meat, and some hair!
Chen Zuoxin only felt a hot pain on his left forehead, and the cold sweat broke out all of a sudden. A good Chen Zuoxin, knowing that his life was at stake at this time, he didn't wipe or shout, his body was low, he lay on the horse's back, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse rushed forward, and then touched the gun magazine on the right hand. As long as he has a gun in hand, no one in this Changsha City can stop him Chen Zuoxin!
Just listen to the sound of a gunshot, and it is extremely crisp. Chen Zuoxin's mount jumped to the highest point, then lost his strength and fell straight down.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Zuoxin hurriedly pulled his foot away from the stirrup, pushed the horse's back with both hands, and rolled off sideways. During the rolling, he peeked and found that at various intersections, there were several big men standing, holding bright knives in their hands, surrounded by a month and a half, and rushed towards him.
Chen Zuoxin came out in a hurry, and he didn't have any weapons except a shell gun. The foreigner's shell gun is a sharp weapon in long-range combat, but in hand-to-hand combat, it is an out-and-out scrap metal.
Chen Zuoxin took advantage of inertia to roll down to the side of the street, stood up, and instead of rushing to the enemy, he shouted and crashed into a house on the side of the street.
As soon as the surrounding killer saw Chen Zuoxin retreating into the house, he let out a shout, and rushed over faster, and the knife hand that had just slashed Chen Zuoxin took the lead, ran to the front of the house, flew up, and kicked the broken door into the air.
He was about to rush forward with a knife and go in to fight Chen Zuoxin. A black shadow was also whirling, like the wind howling like a mountain, and smashed straight towards his head.
Chen Zuoxin's timing is very good, it is the knife hand leaning forward and rushing forward, when the body is old, the knife hand is startled, and he can't dodge, so he can only grit his teeth.
Before the knife in his hand could touch the black shadow, the back of his shoulder ached, and he was as if he had been severely chiseled with two sledgehammers. The knife hand screamed, and his hand was weak, and the knife choked and fell to the ground.
It turned out that Chen Zuoxin crashed into the house, and saw through the residual sun, but it was a ready-to-wear store, and he couldn't find anything to take advantage of in his eagerness, so he picked up the bench by the door, hid in the dark, and saw the leading knife hand kicking the door, so he seized the opportunity and knocked down the knife hand on a bench.
Seeing the knife hand to the ground, Chen Zuoxin did not hesitate, picked up the bench, and smashed the knife hand twice on the head, and the knife hand entered the watermelon, which was broken and broken, * splashed, and saw that it was dead.
Chen Zuoxin put down one person, picked up the fallen Pu knife, stood at his side, and pulled out the gun with his right hand. He didn't go out to invite the enemy, but only stayed in the ready-to-wear store, waiting for the killer to attack.
The shot just now was extremely accurate, and he killed his mount with one shot. It's me, and that's it. But he is in the light, and the gunman is in the dark, but he can't wait to go out.
Chen Zuoxin's calculation was clear, and the knife hand also understood it very well, and the two sides quieted down. After a long confrontation, the slanting sun gradually sank over the roof, and the afterglow was even more bright red. Suddenly, a whistle sounded in the dark, and everyone rushed over without hesitation.
Chen Zuoxin held a gun in his hand, and he withheld the hair again and again, only to see that every time the gun rang out, a person was on the ground. Seeing that their companions kept falling to the ground, the killers' blood was even more stimulated, and they all shouted and rushed over.
No matter how wide the long street is, it is only a dozen steps. After a few gunshots, the knifemen rushed into the ready-to-wear store and fought with Chen Zuoxin.
You are a hero, but you are covered in iron, and how many nails can you hit? What's more, as the saying goes, a good tiger is hard to fight a pack of wolves. These killers were aroused to blood, and they didn't want their lives anymore when they fought, they just wanted to exchange their lives for their lives, and killed Chen Zuoxin to avenge their friends. After a while, Chen Zuoxin was covered in injuries, and his arms were even more slashed and fleshy.
But the wounded tiger was even more terrifying. Chen Zuoxin became more and more courageous, and the benefits of insisting on practicing martial arts for many years finally appeared. In the scuffle, he drank violently, and with each shout, he cut down one person. In the blink of an eye, there were only two knife hands left, and the two of them were intimidated by his prestige and withdrew from the ready-to-wear store step by step.
Tan Yanzhao, who was hiding in the shadows, saw the knifemen who broke into the ready-to-wear store, and retreated again. Annoyed and angry, he snatched the spear of the new army next to him, and fired a few shots at the ready-to-wear store.
These shots, the accuracy is really poor, and the two knife hands, even Chen Zuoxin in the ready-to-wear store, were not injured at all. However, these shots are not in vain, Chen Zuoxin has already killed the rise, chased out of the garment store, heard these gunshots, his mind suddenly cleared up, and he stopped the pursuit, he stabbed in front of him, and quickly retreated to the ready-to-wear store.
Seeing that his shots didn't work, Tan Yanzhao was even more annoyed, and he didn't care about the words that Nongquan Blade told him to try to fake as a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, and shouted: "What are you waiting for, shoot me!" ”
Mei Xin, the leader of the second battalion of the fifty standards who helped the rebellion, heard Tan Yanzhao's words, which was exactly what he wanted. With a wave of his arm, countless muzzles erupted with fire, and the garment store opposite was beaten like a honeycomb, and the two knife hands were not spared, and they were shot several times and fell to the ground.
Chen Zuoxin brandished the Pu knife, trying to block the bullet. But manpower was limited, and after countless sparks flashed in front of him, he fell to the ground limply. Before he died, he took one last look at the Changsha City, and there was some nostalgia in his heart, but more than wishes.
At this moment, in the city of Changsha, the remnant sun is like blood, and the long street is splashed with blood......
Nongquan Blade stood on the side of the long street, looking at Chen Zuoxin's extremely tragic death, he felt a little unbearable in his heart, and sighed. Then he turned and mounted his horse, and went to the governor's house.
…… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… ……
But it was said that Jiao Dafeng and Pang Guangzhi heard the voice at the door and said angrily: "What person? Come out! ”
I only heard a burst of laughter outside, and suddenly a person walked in, and the two looked fixedly, but it was Mei Xin, the pipe leader of the second battalion of the 50th standard of the new army.
"Mei Xin, what are you doing here?" Jiao Dafeng shouted.
"What? Lao Tzu followed you that day anyway, and he can be regarded as a revolutionary hero. But what do you do with Lao Tzu? If you revolutionary party wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind and unjust! ”
"You're going to rebel?"
"Rebellion? No," Mei Xin shook her head and grinned, "I want to suppress the rebellion and restore the national unity!" ”
"You capricious villain!" Jiao Dafeng scolded: "I should have killed you and Huang Zhonghao that day!" ”
"I didn't expect that Jiao Dudu didn't sit in the seat for a few days, but this official authority has learned a lot!" Another voice came faintly from outside the house, "Mei Xin, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take these two people." ”
Hearing the man's command, Mei Xin clapped her hands three times, applause came out, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed out of the shadows, broke into the house, and several people waited for one, and tied Jiao Pang and the others into a strong knot.
"What exactly are you going to do?" Although Jiao Dafeng was tied up, he still asked sharply.
"Don't do anything," the person who spoke just now walked into the house as he spoke, Jiao Dafeng looked at it and recognized it as Tan Yanzhao of the Tan family in Chaling, "It's just that I see you revolutionaries, who have no morality and no ability, no politics and no program, and are reckless in military force, making Changsha a miasma, and the people are not happy, my Tan family can't bear this old folks in Hunan Province, and then suffer from the chaos of Hongyang, I can't say it, I have to get rid of you thugs!" ”
These words, Jiao Dafeng was silent, "no morality, no power, no government, no outline", these eight words, like the five fingers of the Buddha, pressed him to have nothing to say, the life of the governor in the past few days really let him know that he is indeed not a capable minister, at least not now.
But Pang Guangzhi on the side was not convinced, he shouted loudly: "You say that we have no morality, no ability, no government and no program, what do you have?" Where were you when we risked our lives to do righteousness? ”
Tan Yanzhao, who asked this sentence, was a little speechless, but in an instant, he remembered what Nongquan Blade said yesterday, so he resonated again, "Hmph, a group of Diao people!" Is it merit to dare to die? Is it true to dare to die? Didn't Hong Yang back then also risk death? But what has it brought to our Hunan people? It's hard labor! It's a robbery! You are also like that Hongyang, you only know about the blind revolutionary revolution, have you ever farmed the land? Have you ever run an industry? Do you know how to govern the country? Look at what you have made of Changsha in the past few days! ”
These words were righteous and strict, Pang Guangzhi was about to say it, but Jiao Dafeng stopped him.
Jiao Dafeng stared at Tan Yanzhao for a long time before he asked in a low voice, "After I die, do you want to return to the Manchu Dynasty?" ”
Tan Yanzhao saw the desolation of Jiao Dafeng's question, and he also felt a little emotion in his heart, so he shook his head, "The Manchu Qing Dynasty has no way, and it is separated from my Han people, but the qi has been exhausted." Of course, we still have to participate in the creation of the Republic of China. ”
Hearing Tan Yanzhao's words, Jiao Dafeng's heart relaxed, he knew that today was a certain death, but since Changsha was recovered, he could be regarded as doing his best for the Republic of China, although he could not see the day when the Republic of China was founded. But with his own ability, he can only go here.
It was dusk, and the remnant sun poured out all its might, spilling out the last remaining bit of light and heat. There was a blood-red halo all over the place. Jiao Dafeng stood in the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, looking up at the sky, feeling that he had no regrets.
"Since the recovery of Changsha, I have served as the governor of Jiao Dafeng, but I have suffered so much to the elders in Xiangzhong. All the sins of today, I, Jiao Dafeng, suffer them all. I only hope that after I die, you will not harm my fathers and elders in Xiangzhong, and ensure that my fathers and elders in Hunan live and work in peace and contentment; I believe that the revolution will eventually succeed and the Republic of China will eventually be established. If you repeat it, forget today's words, and harm the people of Hunan, I will not spare you in the spirit of heaven! ”
Nongquan Blade stood behind Tan Yanzhao, and when he heard Jiao Dafeng's last words, he was extremely remorseful. After hearing a few gunshots, several key members of the League fell to their stomachs in pools of blood and went away forever.
Tan Yanzhao saw that Nongquan Blade's face was a little unbearable, so he went over and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "The party members are light and incompetent, if you keep them, sooner or later there will be trouble." Xihou doesn't need to blame himself, you have made a great contribution to removing the rebellion of the party members for the fathers and elders in Xiangzhong! ”
Who knew that after Tan Yanzhao finished speaking, Nongquan Blade still stared at the corpses of several party members in the courtyard in a daze, silent.
"Oh, what did I do!" After a while, Nongquan Blade finally spoke, "The party members don't know about production, don't know about government affairs, don't know the economy, they only know that they are blindly full, and it is naturally best to use them as pawns, but it is difficult for them to be in a high position, and the herdsmen are difficult for the strong." ”
"You asked me to help, and that's what I thought. But ......" Nongquan Blade sighed, and said: "After all, this is a heroic righteous man loyal to my Han family, and today's killing will damage Yang Shou!" ”
Tan Yanzhao saw Nongquan Blade's words, but in the end, he ended with Yangshou, and he only felt funny in his heart, "Xihou, don't think about this." Today, we have set things right, and we have done it. You and I will go home and have a good drink, and in the future, we will govern Hunan, and I will ask you to help you vigorously. ”
Nongquan Blade shook his head and said, "Today's matter, I don't kill Beren, but Beren died because of me. I am in this place in Hunan, and I am ashamed of my father, and I can no longer feel at ease. Tonight I set off and left Hunan and never left my homeland. ”
Tan Yanzhao was shocked when he heard this, and as soon as he said, "Why should Xihou be like this", he heard a commotion at the door of the Governor's Mansion, followed by two heralds, who rushed in one after the other, and one reported: "Tell Mr. Tan, Minister of Civil Affairs Tan Yanmin refuses to take the post of Governor." Mei Guan has already led people to persuade him. ”
The other reported: "The Wuchang Han army has arrived three miles outside Changsha, and they will enter the city before dark!" ”
