Chapter 127: The Civil Revolt
Ergou's real name is Yang Decai, no one knows where he is from, what his real name is, and who is in the family. Running the rivers and lakes, a wharf and a name, naturally you can't throw away all your hearts. He has only been here in Tianjin for less than half a year, and he has already drawn more than 400 taels of silver, and he has become a celebrity in front of the big officials in Beicheng.
However, this Yang Decai believed in making a 10,000-year-old ship all his life. As soon as I heard that it was the silver ticket of the thirteen provinces of Baofeng Delong, my heart turned over. He has walked more bridges than that bullshit official, and the person who can take out this kind of silver ticket is definitely not something that they can afford to provoke. When the wind rests, the waves rest, and when the shore arrives, leave the ship. It looks like I'm going to change the dock again.
He got out of the tower like a rabbit and got out of a hole in the back wall. When I ran out of the street, I saw a large number of officers and soldiers swarming under the leadership of a thin dog.
He hid behind a tall grass and watched in horror, secretly screaming that it was dangerous. I saw that these officers and soldiers wearing mandarin duck jackets and black leather jackets directly surrounded the backyard wall. At the same time, the gate of the front yard wall was kicked open, and the head of Reilly, who guarded the door, and a dozen or so thugs scolded, and the shouts of copying guys were endless. This was followed by the thud, thump, thump, thump of fire and screams.
The people of the big officials knew that there was a change, and they all appeared from the doors and windows of the tower, and Yang Decai even saw that many black-clothed people appeared on the doors and windows of the fourth floor, holding bows and crossbows to appear in the shooting position.
On the highest ninth floor, an old man in a black-clothed cloak looked out of the tower with a gloomy face, and Yang Decai, despite trembling with fear, still carefully saw his appearance, this is the guru or the high priest. Then he turned around and ran, went to the house, quickly wrapped a stack of silver tickets, took a few clothes, and wrapped them in oilcloth. Head straight south of the city, where there is a sewer leading into the moat.
On the road, a group of officers and soldiers rushed towards the broken temple, and Yang Decai only cared about walking with his head down. When he arrived at the place where there was no one on the south wall, he pulled out the sac, pried open the cover, and went into the ditch despite the stench inside.
Yang Decai got out of the moat, the bottom of the Jiuhe River in Tianjin, the moat is full of living water, hiding under the long grass, carefully washing himself and climbing the embankment to dry it, the cold river water was so cold that he shivered, quickly opened the oilcloth bag and changed into a robe and shoes, and walked towards the wharf outside the city.
"Stop, Wu Nadao, where are you going?" asked an officer and soldier.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Official, Poor Dao wants to go to the city"
"There are thieves in the city, and they are closing the city, and they can't get in, so let's go quickly, don't wander around here, lest you be arrested as a thief."
"Thank you, thank you" Yang Decai hurriedly walked away and got on a passenger ship to Zhangjiawan in Tongzhou.
"Look, the officers and soldiers have pushed the cannon down, and there are fires in many parts of the city." A passenger shouted. The people on the boat rushed to the left side of the boat, and the boss of the boat hurriedly shouted, "Don't run around, be careful of capsizing."
Three-pounder guns were unloaded from the ship and pushed by the artillery along the stone road towards the city. Yang Decai, thinking of the trouble he had caused, was afraid for a while. This Zhili North can't stay, and when he noticed the capital, he went to Shanxi to beg for a living.
Qianhu Zhang Lu is about to go crazy, he was just ordered to cooperate with the thief, the splashes in this city are crazy, and they even dare to steal the military salary of the battalion soldiers. Those who don't want to stay in Tianjin Wei are out. It's good now, there are hundreds of people hiding in the tower in the thief's den, and there are hundreds of Lu Mi guns, and he has led 300 people and 300 soldiers in Nanao to make the water around the broken temple impassable. But this tower is made of green bricks and glutinous rice juice. The sturdiness is abnormal, and the bandits are condescending, and they can't attack it for a while when they occupy the advantageous territory. Instead, more than 50 people were knocked down by the quasi-poisonous Lu Mi Gong.
Intensive gunfire has already alarmed the entire city. Commander Jing was furious, the city was actually chaotic to this extent, where did a group of splashers come from so many Lu Mi guns, at this time, I didn't understand that this was either an ordinary splash or a fool. No wonder they dared to attack the officers and soldiers. At the same time, I was very anxious.
Tianjin has a total of 6,500 soldiers and 5,000 households. The same goes for the left and right backs. A total of nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, 15 thousand households. However, after a long period of peace, the military households fled seriously, and the situation of the officers in Tianjin, who were close to the capital, oppressed the military households was still good, and they did not dare to go too far. Tianjin Wei actually had only more than 1,800 soldiers. There were only five hundred troops in the city. Armor, weapons, and firearms were in tatters.
I don't know how many thieves there are in the cityAfter the broken temple in the north city broke out, fires broke out in many places in the city, and many thugs set fire to the shops everywhere. Commander Jing hurriedly transferred troops into the city to suppress the bullets, and at the same time wanted to ask for help from the left and right guards, these two guards were a hundred miles away, and even if they arrived, it would be tomorrow.
Li Jing looked at the tower and was also worried, the short fire gun couldn't do it. They were pinned down against the courtyard wall and could not attack, and they could not shoot at the head and range. Ordered Bai Yu to bring in the three-pounder cannon.
Chen Zhong and two battalions of 300 soldiers and artillerymen pushed 12 three-pounder guns from various streets to the brick towers of Beicheng. Along the way, I met a lot of thugs shouting and holding knives and guns to stop them, and shouted that they were invulnerable, and the ancestor appeared or something. There are also half-sized people carrying baskets in the back, throwing bricks and tiles in the back.
The battalion soldiers in Nanao Town didn't care about this, they directly hit a row of guns, and the Apocalypse rifle was still very useful on the narrow streets, which shouted to beat the officers and soldiers, and the mob who saved the division fell to the ground. Then the three-pounder gun's shotgun fired, and thousands of three-millimeter steel balls erupted out of the streets and became hell on earth, the dead lay in the snow, the wounded crawled in blood, wailed all over the ground, and the rest of the people were frightened and ran away desperately.
Chen Zhong sighed, it seemed that they were not stupid to the end, knowing that the cannon was not something that flesh and blood could resist.
Reinforcements from all walks of life quickly approached the brick tower, and Li Jing and the others had already fought on both sides, shooting at the tower on the one hand, and dealing with the mobs coming from all around.
It wasn't until the artillery from all sides arrived that he breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't expect to encounter such a thief, and the more than 100 Lu Mi guns were also drunk, and when they saw the smoke everywhere in the city, they were also full of curiosity about the protection master and the high priest who shouted in the tower. I don't know what kind of master I have encountered, but there is so much energy that the whole city swarms to attack the officers and soldiers.
