Chapter 498: Counterinsurgency
Standing on a podium temporarily set up with a table, Qian Dehong, the head of Suzhou Mansion, was spitting and expressing his opinions, and a group of scholars and businessmen were applauding loudly, and they were all triumphant at this time, as if they had foreseen that victory was recruiting them. They also firmly believe that the final victory must be theirs.
At this time, Qian Dehong had already spoken for half an hour, and he felt a little thirsty, walked off the stage, took a few sips of the teacup on the table, and was about to return to the stage to continue to deliver his tirade.
Suddenly, the door of the governor's yamen in front of him slammed open, "Bang! A team of Tiance troops poured out of the yamen.
The streets that had been bustling with activity due to the boycott gradually quieted down, and then the ground seemed to tremble faintly, and the sound of neat running came from the direction of the school grounds.
The sound of neat running was getting closer and closer, and Qian Dehong and the others looked at each other: "What happened?" ”
Like a wolf rushing to the pigs, the slaves and ruffians who had gathered in the streets and the ruffians rushed back one after another, and everyone shouted: "The Tiance army has entered the city in a big way, and there are many chariots!" ”
"Everyone, no, the Tiance Army in the direction of the school field has also been dispatched!"
For a time, the crowd of demonstrators in front of the governor's yamen was in a commotion, and the gossip became a mess.
"Qian Xuezheng, now that the officers and soldiers are killed, what should we do!"
"Master Lu, you have to come up with a charter!"
Seeing everyone's dejected appearance, Lu Shiyi, the second son of the Lu family, blushed his face, looked at everyone and shouted: "What are you afraid of, Kong said Chengren Meng said to take righteousness, what we do is worthy of the court, worthy of God, what are you afraid of asking for your life for the people." Rest assured, the surnamed Wang and his minions will never dare to do anything to us, as long as they do it, they will be cut off from the court and from the righteousness. Don't panic, let's go forward immediately, I want to see if the surnamed Wang dares to do it! ”
Qian Dehong's face turned pale, he coughed, and said: "Don't panic, don't panic, the old man doesn't believe it, under such a bright and clear situation, the general of Dingguo dares to do such things that anger and resentment and oppress the people of the world, is he not afraid of the words of the officials, the iron pen of the green history?" In the past, the five righteous people in Suzhou rebelled against the eunuch party and traitors, were not afraid of power, and left their names in history for the rest of their lives, and made five tombstones. The big husband is also the big one who dies and lives, and the husband is more important than the community. It is Wang Yue who oppresses the scholars and righteous businessmen, and we are calm and fearless! ”
Zhou Hong, the son of Zhou Zhenglin in the crowd, also shouted on the side: "The dynasty has raised scholars for more than 200 years, where does the so-called come from, let's see if the king dares to risk the disapproval of the world to do something against us, there are not many Tiance soldiers, don't be afraid, go on!" ”
"Yes, yes!"
Many of the scholars and merchants who had been re-energized puffed up their chests, and some ordered the house slaves, green-skinned gangsters, and others to raise banners and face forward, and the scene of hundreds of people rushing forward seemed to be very lively, but it looked chaotic.
There were even many bold green-skinned gangsters who threw stones at the Tiance army at the entrance of the governor's yamen, and the thousands of mechanics organized by Zhou Zhenglin were also located in the rear holding various tools, intending to take advantage of the chaos to storm the governor's yamen.
"Smack!" "Bang Bang!"
As if it was a signal, with the first gunshot, bursts of gunfire rang out one after another in front of the governor's yamen, accompanied by screams and exclamations, dozens of green-skinned gangsters who had been rushing to the front fell to the ground with screams, and the house slaves and splashes who were originally trying to show their loyalty in front of their masters were terrified one by one, and screamed as hard as they could.
"Killed, Tiance Army killed!"
The deafening gunfire woke everyone up, whether it was Qian Dehong, Lu Shiyi and the scholars who were impassioned just now, or the businessmen who contributed money and efforts, or Zhou Hong, the son of Zhou Zhenglin, their faces turned pale at this moment, and they all looked incredulous.
Qian Dehong, the leader of the student movement, also trembled with chapped lips and muttered, "This ...... How is this possible, they ...... How dare they really dare to kill? ”
Yes, in the thinking of Qian Dehong and others, Wang Yue, as an official of the imperial court, as long as he did not pull the flag and rebelled, he could not and did not dare to attack them, merchants, gentry and scholars, you must know that if this is the case, he is the enemy of the scholars all over the world, and he is isolated from the world.
There is an old saying in Huaxia that Xiucai can't rebel for ten years, and there is also a saying: Useless is a scholar. Although the two sentences are different, the meaning is almost the same, that is, the reader is more powerful than the other, but once they are real, they are worse than the other.
Now these scholars are living examples, although they shouted more actively than anyone else just now, but once they really faced life and death at this moment, they immediately coaxed.
"Smack, smack, smack!" Gunshots rang out from far and near, knocking those who tried to flee to the ground, others screaming and turning back.
The performance of countless scholars and merchants is not much better than that of a girl who has encountered a robber. They screamed and cried, and everyone panicked and spun around like headless flies, but it was too late, thousands of Tiance troops had already surrounded them, all the roads had been blocked by armored vehicles, and they had no way to escape.
Groups of soldiers of the Tiance Army were armed with rifles, and their bayonets were glowing in the sun, when a loud voice was heard.
"At the request of the Heavenly Governor Wang, the Tiance army entered the city to quell the rebellion, arrested the Jiannu and the traitors, and the whole city was immediately under martial law! General order, do not gather in the market, do not provoke the government, violate it with disobedience, and kill it! ”
"The Tiance army has strict military discipline, and there is no way to disturb the people, although you folks and elders can stay at home with peace of mind, waiting for our army to calm down the riots, there is no need to panic!"
Looking at the group of officers and soldiers in camouflage uniforms, wearing steel helmets, and holding firearms coming towards him, a solemn aura soared into the sky, shocking the soldiers and businessmen who were originally clamoring for the officers and soldiers not to shoot.
When everyone was surrounded in the center of the street, Li Chuanxin walked out and said loudly through a loudspeaker: "At the behest of Lord Wang Sihua, the governor of the Heavenly Patrol, arrest Jiannu and make Qian Dehong, Lu Shiyi and Zhang Ling'er. In addition, Chen Hongmi, the prefect of Suzhou, Zhou Benshen, the gentry Zhou Zhenglin and his son are suspected of being enemies, and they are hereby arrested together! All students are the pillars of my Ming Dynasty, and they should distinguish between right and wrong, and they should focus on the society and the country, and do not help the abuse. If anyone dares to obstruct the arrest, they will be severely punished! ”
