"The Manchu government is corrupt, and we, the gang brothers, must have thought of rebelling a long time ago. www.biquge.info It's just that Shanghi is a tax center of the Manchu court, and there are many Qing soldiers stationed there, and the gangs did not reach a unified opinion at that time, and the infighting continued, so it was never the time to make a move. But that's no longer the case! Liu Lichuan roared, he was thin, but his voice was quite loud.

"The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom captured Jiangning and established the capital Tianjing. And the holy state in the south has risen suddenly, and has occupied most of the southern part of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It is said that the villagers in my hometown of Xiangshan, as well as the brothers who came to Fujian, are living well. Liu Lichuan continued to shout: "The Manchu court is already crumbling! Then let's go to Hi Knife will add a fire! A few days ago, I heard from the government that in the past two days, a large amount of grain from the imperial court has been transported from Zhejiang to the south of the Yangtze River through Shanghai, and the most advantageous thing is that the holy army in the south sent troops to attack Zhejiang, and the Taiping soldiers in the north sent troops from Tianjing to attack the camp in Jiangnan, and the Manchu government transferred more than half of the troops from Shanghai to support. This is the golden opportunity for our knife club to do something! ”

"Wait a minute, Lichuan will distribute the identity mark of the Little Knife Society to everyone, and the brothers will go back to prepare. Ten days later, on the first day of the fourth month, we all started together from all over the city at the same time! After speaking, Liu Lichuan jumped off the table.

Everyone also shouted: "Rise against the Qing Dynasty!" The uprising is against the Qing Dynasty! ”

Pan Qiliang picked up the "waist support" of the small knife in his hand, which was a dagger, the knife was one foot seven inches long, with a square cloth on it, and there were five big characters on the square cloth. He handed the knife in his hand to Zhang Hanbin and asked him to quickly make a batch of imitations, and go to the city to purchase red cloth and weapons to prepare for an uprising.

Because the knife will make too much noise, it has long been detected by the spies in the official mansion and reported to Yuan Zude, the magistrate, who immediately noticed that something was wrong and quickly reported it to Su Song Taidao Wu Jianzhang.

Wu Jianzhang did not dare to report it to the imperial court. He finally caught up with the line, and did not want to lift the lid, because some mobs had lost their official positions. You must know that this Shanghi Daotai makes him a lot of money every year.

He hurriedly issued a notice, demanding that the Little Knife Society dissolve the party, change the evil and turn the good into good, and turn himself in to the government, and those who know the case should report the case. He also asked someone to send a message to Liu Lichuan: Don't mess around, it's all from the villagers, don't make trouble on the official's territory. If you want, just disband the gang, and the official will give you an errand to get a good master.

Liu Lichuan said to the rumored people: "I can't help but underestimate me Liu Lichuan!" He didn't pay attention to Wu Jianzhang.

Wu Jianzhang saw that the soft one was not good, so he came to the hard one, and the first strike was strong.

He sent Yuan Zude of Hizhi County to lead hundreds of officers and soldiers to search the premises of the Little Knife Club at the north gate of the county seat, and arrested Lin Afu of Fujian and the An Gang.

After some coercion and temptation, the next day, Lin Afu, who was released, packed up his soft and quietly led a group of cronies to run back to Fujian's hometown.

At the same time, Wu Jianzhang summoned the shareholders of the guilds in various places, asked them to suppress the villagers who were ready to rise up to resist, and also asked the landlords and gentry to persuade the knife congregation among the boatmen to let them break away from the knife club.

In addition, Wu Jianzhang also sent people to set up cannons in front of the Fujian Guild Hall, ready to suppress the Little Knife Society at any time.

The situation is critical.

Inside the Zixia Hall outside the East Gate.

Fan Dequan said to Pan Qiliang: "Big boss, now the Manchu government has ordered the dissolution of the Hui Party, and mobilized troops, wanting to attack each other. We can't wait any longer, we have to do it right away! ”

That night, after Pan Qiliang sent someone to inform the chief rudder of the Little Knife Society, he personally led more than 300 subordinates, wearing red scarves and holding the equipment taken out of the Lianyong camp, to sneak near the small east gate and the north gate.

More than 500 people stationed in the small east gate, who were also in the small knife club, opened the city gate as an internal response, and Pan Qiliang led everyone to flock in.

At this time, Liu Lichuan also received a notice from Pan Qiliang and hurriedly led people to the north gate together.

With the cooperation of the inner defenders of the city, Liu Lichuan led hundreds of people to rush into Shanghi City, and the two teams of congregations met and attacked the Zhixian Yamen.

Most of the soldiers of the green battalion and the village warriors of the city guard are members of the knife, and they have taken off their uniforms, tied red scarves and wrapped their heads, and drew their swords in reverse.

The Qing soldiers and Yonglian knew that they were invincible, so they scattered one after another, and soon fled without a trace. Dozens of township warriors and officials in the county office were also members of the Little Knife Society, and when they saw the rebels rushing into the county office, they hurriedly put on red scarves and joined the ranks of the Little Knife Society, and directly captured Yuan Zude of Shanghizhi County, who was about to escape.

Zhang Hanbin escorted Yuan Zude to Pan Qiliang: "Big boss, this dog official was caught by the brothers. I'll leave it to you! ”

Pan Qiliang looked at Yuan Zude, who didn't seem to care, and said with a gloomy smile: "Dog officer, I didn't expect you to have today!" Hurry up and hand over your seal letter first, maybe Lao Tzu can give you a good time! ”

Yuan Zude glanced at Pan Qiliang with contempt, and ignored it.

Pan Qiliang laughed angrily: "You are a very kind of dog official? I'll see if you can still be so kind! After speaking, he took out the dagger in his arms and cut off one of Yuan Zude's thumbs with a knife, Yuan Zude screamed miserably, rolling on the ground in pain.

When his pain subsided slightly, Pan Qiliang asked Zhang Hanbin and Cai Yongliang to grab him, and gestured with his other thumb: "Where is the seal?" Not to mention that you will lose a finger, Lao Tzu will cut it off one by one and drink wine! ”

"You devil!" Yuan Zude thought of the unbearable pain and gave in: "Just put it in ...... Placed on the floor in the corner of my bed....underneath. You, please..... give me a good time! ”

Zhu Yuefeng hurriedly took one, and sure enough, he found the seal letter from Shanghi Zhi County.

Pan Qiliang nodded, and Zhang Hanbin stabbed Yuan Zude to death.

Then, Liu Lichuan also led the rebel army to the county office. The crowd opened the prison in the county government and released the imprisoned Huidang and others.

The Little Knife Society and others attacked the Yamen of the Provincial Department again.

Wu Jianzhang resisted stubbornly, he let the ambush behind the gate of the Provincial Bureau, and then opened the middle gate of the Provincial Bureau, and shot into the air, trying to scare off the rebels who were all armed with spears and big knives, but he failed to do so.

Chen Alin and other Fu Jian Xiaodao Associations also rushed to reinforce, gathering two or three thousand people, surrounding the yamen of the Provincial Bureau, and the momentum shook the sky.

Wu Jianzhang was terrified in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be so many Knife Society rebels in Shanghi City. He hurriedly sent several cronies with strong martial arts skills to the leased area to ask the foreigners for help, while relying on the strong provincial yamen to defend it.

The main gate of the yamen shook incessantly by the swarming rebels. Wu Jianzhang was in a hurry, and hurriedly mobilized the villagers in the backyard of the yamen to come to support, and at the same time ordered the gunners on the upper floor of the yamen to fire at the volunteers outside the yamen. Unexpectedly, several gunners turned the artillery around, and like the dozens of villagers, they took out red scarves from their arms and tied them on their heads. It turned out that these gunners, as well as those village warriors, turned out to be members of the Little Knife Society. Wu Jianzhang was so frightened that his soul was scattered, his legs were weak, and it was impossible to escape, and he was captured alive by the anti-water villagers.

Wu Jianzhang, who was caught, suddenly lost his usual official spirit, and his originally fierce and tense face showed a hint of begging, he took the initiative to hand over the official seal as if flattering, and then made a request: he wanted to see Liu Lichuan, the big leader of the Little Knife Society, alone.

According to Pan Qiliang's temper, this kind of dog official, what is there to say, cut it directly, how happy!

But to the surprise of Pan Qiliang and everyone, the big leader Liu Lichuan actually agreed to the dog officer's request.

Everyone can't care so much at the moment, and more than half of Shanghi City has not been occupied!

Pan Qiliang led his original group of brothers from the Little Knife Society formed by Yonglian and Bailongtang to destroy the case files of the branch room in the yamen of the Provincial Department. was about to continue the search, but was blocked by a group of Liu Lichuan's cronies, saying that the Provincial Department had been requisitioned by the big boss as the temporary helmsman of the Knife Society, and asked Liu Lichuan and others to attack other officials.

Pan Qiliang didn't care, so he led his brothers out of the yamen of the Taoist Bureau, preparing to attack the yamen of the Shenzhen Bureau.

Unexpectedly, Fan Dequan stopped him and said, "Big boss, there is something strange between this big leader Liu and Wu Jianzhang!" It is indispensable to guard against people, so it is better to let the three masters and Deshui lead dozens of brothers to quietly ambush around the yamen of the Provincial Bureau, and secretly monitor to see what is wrong? ”

Pan Qiliang was a little puzzled, looked at Fan Dequan, and wanted to know the reason.

Fan Dequan said: "Big boss, do you know where Dequan is from?" Without waiting for Pan Qiliang to answer, Fan Dequan immediately explained: "Dequan is also a native of Xiangshan, Guangdong, and is the same township as Liu Lichuan, Liu Da Leader and Wu Jianzhang. knew that Leader Liu had a good relationship with Wu Jianzhang. ”

Pan Qiliang was stunned! He had never thought about it. If this is the case, then there is really a problem between Liu Lichuan and Wu Jianzhang.

Since Fan Dequan joined Bailongtang, Pan Qiliang has obeyed his words, and this time is no exception, even if he sent Zhang Hanbin and fifty brothers to follow Fan Deshui, they set up an ambush together.
