On the evening of May 22, Huanggang Town performed the Cantonese opera "The Legend of the West Chamber" outside the North Gate. There was nothing new in the countryside, but as soon as I heard that a big drama was being played, men, women, and children from a radius of more than ten miles rushed to join in the fun, crowding the square outside the north gate, which was originally a small place.

Those who do small business should not miss this opportunity, and those who sell candy, sticky cakes, rice noodles, and all kinds of food stalls have come to set up stalls to solicit business. For a while, you pushed me outside the whole north gate, people came and went, chaotic, so lively.

The defense fighters were idle in the barracks, disturbed by the sound of gongs and drums, how could they miss this opportunity, more than 20 defense soldiers slipped out of the barracks in twos and threes, crowded in the crowd to watch the play. There were so many people that they couldn't hear what the singers were singing at all, so they squeezed forward desperately, and others didn't let them squeeze forward. Relying on their youth and strength, the brave men shouted slogans together, causing the entire crowd in the venue to move forward, backward, left, and right, creating a chaotic order.

At that time, the weather was hot, and people wore little clothes, and a few of the brave men were second-rate soldiers, so they took the opportunity to take advantage of the eldest daughter-in-law and the little daughter-in-law, pinching it here, touching it there, and the crowd kept screaming women.

The soldiers took advantage of it and didn't say anything, their mouths were not idle, and they talked nonsense in the dark. This one said: "The little bun is dead, and it hasn't opened yet." The one said, "If you want to eat the steamed buns, I'll rub them for you." This one said, "The unkempt grass grows strangely vigorously." The one said, "It's not messy, you know, or I'll sort it out for you." "There are no people singing on stage, and these soldiers and ruffians are making trouble and making trouble in the audience.

The women began to fight back, especially some old ladies, who were even more open-mouthed and scolded those who defended bravely. "Go home and touch your mother." "These little boys popping out of the cracks in the stones, the mongrels made of dogs and donkeys, a bunch of waste bears!" "It's not a human plaything, and the child born must not have an ass ......"

The soldiers and ruffians started scolding with the women, and there were many women, and the scolding was even more vigorous, and the women and men also helped to scold. The sound of scolding from both sides soon drowned out the sound of singing on stage.

The evil deeds of the soldiers and ruffians caused the anger of the people, and the brave men were few and surrounded by the people. Many peasants pushed and shoved the defense braves, and the women also took the opportunity to find the plug hairpin, the awl on the sole of the shoes, and the big needle for sewing clothes.

Many people who watched the excitement applauded loudly and cheered on the side: "Fight! Piercing! Kill these clear dogs. As soon as I saw that someone was agitating, people became more energetic, dozens of people surrounded a patrol bravery, seven hands and eight feet, a beating, and many of them were beaten to the point of crying dad and mother.

After a while, more than 10 Fang Yong hurried over with torches and fast guns, and it turned out that one of them ran back secretly and reported to Cai Hezhong. When the people watching the play saw that Fang Yong had a gun in his hand, they didn't dare to move. One of them, who had just gotten up from the ground, pointed to the two peasants who beat him and said, "They are the ones who beat him the hardest." ”

Cai Hezhong waved his hand, and the brave men rushed up, tied up the two people, and dragged them away. People were in an uproar, and they all wanted to go up to grab people, the defense braves fired a few shots into the sky, everyone retreated, and Cai Hezhong led those defense braves to hurry away.

The play could not be played anymore, people were noisy and talking, and no one would leave. In the crowd, there was a triad leader named Yu Jicheng, who immediately asked a member to bring the white fan and a few straw sandals, and asked a straw shoe to quickly call Wang Dayan, the leader of another triad.

After a while, Wang Longtou came in a hurry, and when he arrived, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Yu Jicheng: "You people, how did you do it, how did you call the dog to arrest people." ”

Yu Jicheng shook his head and said: "I was not in front of me at that time, there were many people who were blind and messy, and there were many chickens that did not lay eggs." Who knows how to take my people away? The dragon head shouted, "What do you say?" Yu Jicheng said: "The arrested people are called Qiu Bao and Zhang Shan, both of whom are tough guys, and of course they will not reveal the secrets of the triad." However, I heard that the Caihe Center was ruthless and was sent here to monitor and arrest our triad, and I am afraid that Qiu Bao and Zhang Shan's lives will not be guaranteed. ”

Wang Longtou shouted loudly: "After talking for a long time, it's all nonsense. What the hell do you want me to do? ”

Yu Jicheng asked: "We just want to ask you what to do?" The green tendons on Wang Long's neck jumped up, and he shook his head and said: "Then fight, I don't believe it, we triads can't beat these 40 people." If you don't want to fight, I'll go back, there is no discussion, just discuss until tomorrow morning, Qiu Bao and Zhang Shan still can't be saved! ”

Yu Jicheng thought for a while and said: "In this case, we will join forces with several other triads, so let's start fighting?" Wang Longtou stretched out his big hand and touched Yu Jicheng's outstretched big hand, and the two big palms made a crisp sound. Wang Longtou shouted: "Good! Just do it, my hands are already itchy, take Huanggang, then take Chaozhou, occupy Chaozhou, Sun Yat-sen will definitely not look at us, a good show will be played by our brothers! ”

Yu Jicheng and Wang Dayan gave an order. Most of the members of the Sanhe did not leave at all, and after receiving the order, they took weapons nearby, and together with the local people, they quickly gathered more than 1,000 people.

Cai Hezhong was interrogating Qiu Bao and Zhang Shan overnight in the co-ordination, when the sentry suddenly came to report that countless people and torches were pouring here. Cai Hezhong was not in a hurry, and called all the guards to enter the position, and they were not allowed to shoot indiscriminately without an order.

After a while, a large number of triad members forced over. Cai Hezhong bent his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly to the crowd: "Villagers-don't listen to people's instigation, don't come, send a representative for something-"

The king shouted loudly with wide eyes: "Don't hear the dog, keep going--"

Here, Cai Hezhong shouted: "Don't come, if you come over, you will shoot." ”

Over there, the king shouted again, "Go on--"

The crowd got closer and closer, and Cai Hezhong gave an order: "Release--" A burst of guns shot towards the black crowd, more than a dozen people fell, and the other triad members retreated. The members of the Triad were not in a hurry to attack, but threw away their torches and fired indiscriminately with earthen guns and bird guns, only to cause the co-signatories to fly brick and stone debris, and a few of them hung flowers.

In this way, both sides shot each other with guns, and the stalemate lasted until more than 4 o'clock in the morning of the next day.

Who knows, at this time, the sky is not beautiful, and suddenly it rains heavily. Most of the guns used by the triad were earth guns and bird guns, and the gunpowder was wet and could not be fired, while the guns used by the patrol were fast guns, which were not afraid of rain at all, and the firepower of the anti-brave completely overwhelmed the triad.

Cai Hezhong saw that the time had come, and he would not counterattack at this time, let alone wait for the time, he shouted: "Brothers, charge me-" led the defense warriors to line up all the way, holding fast guns, and shooting while advancing. The triad members retreated again and again, and retreated to the outside of the co-signing.

By this time, it was dawn and the rain had gradually subsided.

Yu Jicheng saw this night of fighting, and the members of the Sanhe were soaked one by one, cold and hungry, exhausted, and couldn't help but sigh and scold: "I didn't expect this bone in Cai Hezhong to be so difficult to gnaw." God doesn't cooperate, you say what kind of rain is it happening on you, it's not early, it's not late, but it's at this time. Wang Longtou smiled and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry about Yu Longtou, don't you see that it doesn't rain!" Our guns are good again. I don't believe it, 20 of us can't beat 1 of them. ”

The two of them saw that the triad's earthen guns and bird guns had indeed begun to play a role again, and the defenders did not dare to pursue, hiding in one corner after another, shooting cold guns at this side from time to time.

Wang Dayan pointed at the defense of the brave and said to Yu Jicheng: "Yu Longtou, you see that they are bear-like, not much stronger than us." We're cold, they're cold, we're hungry, they're hungry, fight a little longer, and we can counterattack. ”

Yu Jicheng frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly frowned, slapped his thigh and said: "Yes, there are a lot of us, what are we doing here, send some people to attack other places in the town, those places have officials and no soldiers, let's attack and see if this kid in Cai Hezhong is panicking." ”

Yu Jicheng commanded some other people and began to attack the various organs in the city. For a while, the sound of killing was everywhere, and the flames soared into the sky, and the military morale of the members of the Sanhe was lifted. After a while, the fire of the co-sponsorship also burned, and these dozens of people in Cai He couldn't go back even if they wanted to, and the military spirit of the defense warriors began to waver.

The members of the Triad surrounded dozens of defense braves more and more tightly, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the defenses who had no danger to defend were completely exposed to the fire of earthen guns and bird guns, and they were killed and wounded, and they were only passively beaten.

One of them raised his gun and surrendered, one raised his hand, and the others threw their guns and shouted surrender. The Triad members shouted and rushed over, grabbed them one by one, and seized their guns. At this time, the fighting in other parts of the city had also ended, and the shouts of the Triad members were everywhere, and Huanggang Town had been completely occupied by the rebels.

At the time of the Huanggang uprising, Gong Ren and Tang Qingying were in Fushan, and after hearing the news, the two quickly rode to Huanggang.
