Xuan Yuemeng shook her head and said: "It's really a fight, the Canal Gang can't hide in order to avoid suspicion, how can they help foreigners and officers and soldiers?" Don't think about that. ”

Zhang Decheng nodded, agreeing with Young Master Meng's opinion, the Canal Gang is indeed negligible, and he believes that the Canal Gang will not dare to intervene in the dispute between them and the foreigners.

Zhang Decheng drew the offensive route and retreat route on the map: "Young master, I calculated, there are not enough people about fifty people, when we go, we can secretly enter the British Concession, the British Concession is not as strict as our American Concession, it is not difficult to mix in fifty or so people, and it can even be ambushed two days in advance, or that problem, how to go?" If you want to be undiscovered, you can't do everything secretly. Once the fight starts, the Anglo-French forces alone will be enough to surround us. The people will have a concession, and they don't even have a chance to leave the British Concession. ”

After thinking about it, Xuan Yuemeng suggested: "Divide into two groups, it will definitely not work to rob clearly, and go all the way to burn the foreigner's warehouse!" If you attract the attention of foreigners, they will definitely not think that we dare to rob in the concession! The more fierce the fight on the pier side, the more likely it is that the concession side will succeed. ”

Zhang Decheng nodded, "The young master really thinks a lot, this is a way, but there is no place to withdraw from the dock, that piece is all open land, last time we were lucky to escape because there were few people and several people were very fast!" If you want to make a disturbance on the dock this time, at least half of the people will have to be put over there! Moreover, if you want people to draw attention to the dock, you must make a strong attack posture, you can't run away with two shots, once you draw the attention of the foreigners and the patrol of the Beiyang Yamen, when the time comes, none of these people can run away! It's hard to pick on these people! ”

Xuan Yuemeng's eyes were red. There was a sour feeling in his nose, and after being overturned by Zhang Decheng's whim, he also felt that the difference in strength was too great, and he shouldn't take the lives of his brothers below seriously, "Forget it, let's cancel it!" It really can't be hard-hitting. Where is the money. Wherever there are heavy guards. ”

Zhang Decheng sighed and nodded, "It's not that the brothers don't dare, if you really want to fight the British Concession, there is really no possibility of success." Young master, let's try it first, we brothers can all ride horses, let's get a horse team first, and go to the barracks of foreigners for a while! Hit and go. According to the guerrilla warfare you mentioned, after a few times, the Beiyang Yamen and the foreigners must have become angry! Let's get their brigade out! Look for another opportunity. ”

Xuan Yuemeng was stunned and shook her head, "It's still not good, the Beiyang Yamen has a horse team, there are more than 3,000 people, and all of them are equipped with foreign guns." It's still foreigners who are invited. ”

Zhang Decheng said with a smile: "Let's go hand in hand, don't be afraid to try." You ask people to find a good place in the British Concession first, and I will take people to fight for a few days in a row, and then see how the Beiyang Yamen and the foreigners will be arranged! Okay, let's do it, no, we can only forget it. ”

Xuan Yuemeng's eyes lit up. At present, this is the only way, even if we can't draw out the troops of the British and French concessions, at least we can put pressure on the foreigners, let them know that we also have strength, and provoke us to anger. I'm still going to break the net with you!

Young Master Meng nodded and agreed with Zhang Decheng's opinion, and the two of them discussed for a long time, but they were not 100% sure.

Xuan Yuemeng asked Dali to scrape together more than 10,000 taels of silver to Zhang Decheng and them, and transferred more than 50 Huacui brothers from the American Tour Capture House to go over, these are all young people who were born as domestic slaves and have no family, and they are innocent, so it is difficult to find their whereabouts!

More than 10,000 taels of silver were used for Zhang Decheng and them to prepare the horse team! Riding and shooting costs money, you can ride a horse, and you don't necessarily know how to shoot a gun on a horse! Xuan Yuemeng specially approved the ammunition for practice again, and took out all the old bottoms at one time!

Zhao Qingluo didn't understand why she transferred so much money, and found Xuan Yuemeng: "Why did you withdraw all the little money you left?" Now the remaining cash is not even enough for 10,000 taels, and I can't get by this month. ”

Xuan Yuemeng's heart was also very chaotic, but she still kept her patience, "Don't worry, I use money, it must be used when it is necessary, and there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

Zhao Qingluo was about to collapse, "This family, I really don't have the ability to do it, I'm worried all day long, you said it easily, if there is really no silver spending, you have to stop everywhere, and tens of thousands of workers won't make trouble when the time comes?" What if everything stops? ”

Xuan Yuemeng felt that Zhao Qingluo's ability and heart still needed to be more experienced, maybe it would be difficult for her to suddenly put such a young woman in such an important position, but he really didn't have the right person at hand, even if he did it himself, it wouldn't be much better than Zhao Qingluo.

Xuan Yuemeng pulled Zhao Qingluo's hand, "I've wronged you, you just have to do a good job of the management committee of your development zone, as for the entry and exit of money, try to relax, I still have follow-up funds here!" ”

Xuan Yuemeng lied kindly, otherwise there was no way to deal with Zhao Qingluo.

Zhao Qingluo really showed her face, "You are scared to death, didn't you say it earlier?" ”

After Zhang Decheng left, Xuan Yuemeng's heart was not steady, and he opened his desk, and there was a row of delicate short guns inside, and the handles of the guns were all cast in gold!

These more than a dozen guns, he asked people to buy from Germany, it is not easy to buy a large number of guns, but this kind of expensive, now the world's most advanced short guns, but you can, because this belongs to the category of self-defense of the rich, when exporting, the control is not very strict, Xuan Yuemeng is going to give it away, someone in the foreign bank behaves well, you can send it, there are high-ranking officials in Beijing who need to knot, you can also send it, it is expensive, and fashionable, Xuan Yuemeng thinks that these golden short guns are good gifts.

But at this time, Xuan Yuemeng was never thinking about who to give it to, he wanted to take a short gun and kill Hurd, Wei Tuma, Luo Shuya and McMauff of Xingtai Xing Foreign Company!

Zhang Decheng and others are familiar with the terrain, and the surrounding areas of Tianjin are all waterway intersecting outlets, which are more suitable for cavalry sports, otherwise the twisted army would not have fought a few back and forth between Tianjin and Beijing in a few days!

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty Son of Heaven set up the capital in Beijing, which originally meant that the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and it was convenient to resist the barbarians outside the Guan, but there was also a big defect in the Zhili area, which was inconvenient to resist the internal enemy, otherwise Emperor Chongzhen would not have been forced to commit suicide by millions of peasant troops in the end.

The area around Tianjin is very suitable for small cavalry movements. Hidden.

Half a month later, late at night.

Zhang Decheng and Wei Kuiheng each led a team, with more than 20 people in each team, to attack the barracks of the British and French forces together!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The gunfire in the dead of night is particularly harsh!

The sentries in the barracks of the British and French forces only saw dozens of cavalrymen, shooting guns and rushing towards their side!

Zhang Decheng knew that Young Master Meng's family background was like this. Don't dare to put guns indiscriminately, and with the shooting distance of foreign guns at this time, they are so far apart that they have no lethality at all, they just put a few shots, and then they are scared!

The British and French soldiers had to get up in the middle of the night to assemble urgently, and although there was frightening and shouting outside, everyone went up to the walls of the barracks. That's a real fight!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bullets don't need money! I didn't dare to chase it out.

There was a lot of gunfire here.

Zhang Decheng was not in a hurry to leave, and Wei Kuiheng looked at the firelight in the distance and laughed, "We also have foreigners' guns, I see what tricks they can play, anyway, no one will chase, let's just not leave!" ”

Wei Kuiheng said with a smile: "If I knew this, we should have fought like this a few days ago." Hiding in mountain dens all day long, they all suffocate people. ”

Zhang Decheng pointed to the more than fifty riders around him. "Everyone be in good spirits, when we see the cavalry of the Beiyang Yamen coming out, let's retreat!"

Everyone agreed, and the British and French played with their guns to release their guns, not only did not scare everyone, but on the contrary, they emboldened these people. I think that foreigners are just like that, and it's just like that when they come out to fight.

The soldiers are all fought out and refined, and these more than 50 brothers who have newly joined the Yongding Gang have been training in the Flying Tigers of the American Patrol Hunting House for several months. I've been holding back a lot of energy.

The British and French were busy in the middle of the night.

The British consul Wittoma and the French consul Loshua were awakened from their sleep and hurried to see what was going on, and the commander of the coalition forces briefly briefed them.

Wittoma was furious, "It's been more than an hour!" What about the people of the Beiyang Yamen? Where did they all die? ”

The guard hurriedly said: "I have sent someone to contact us, saying that I will be there soon." ”

Luo Shuya said angrily: "Their cavalry camp is just outside the city, and it can be reached in fifteen minutes, how long has it been?" How many are coming soon? ”

The two of them were scolding, and Wu Changqing, the general of the Huai Army, came over with a large group of men and horses, 1,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and the momentum was very majestic.

The foreigners cheered, and there were Chinese to help them fight, which was something they couldn't ask for.

Wittoma said loudly, "Why are you here now? The efficiency of your Qing people is really low! If you don't have the ability to maintain local security, let us join forces to take over the Beiyang Yamen! ”

Wu Changqing was angry in his heart, and glanced at the dozens of horsemen swimming outside the British and French allied army barracks with a telescope, and said in his heart, You have the ability, why don't you go out to fight? Sleep well and be shouted, and the most annoying thing is that it has something to do with foreigners, not only does this kind of thing not only have no money, but it also causes a stink!

Wu Changqing: "Lord Weituma! I came here on order, this is your own concession area, we are short of troops and ammunition, I just came to assist you! ”

Luo Shuya didn't wait for Wei Tuma to attack, and asked loudly: "Junior official of the Qing Kingdom, do you know who you are talking to?" You are talking to the consul of the British Empire and the consul of the Great French Empire, this is your Qing country, and you must protect the law! Otherwise, we will protest to the court of your country and demand compensation! You Beiyang Yamen can't afford it! ”

Wu Changqing's dignified general soldier, who was said to be a petty official, endured his anger, knew that foreigners were unreasonable, and commanded the cavalry deputy general! "Charge with cavalry! If there are those who resist, shoot and kill! ”

The lieutenant general responded with an order, "Cavalry listen to the order, charge me!" If there are those who resist, shoot and kill! ”

What is the momentum of the charge of thousands of cavalry?

Zhang Decheng and others saw that the dust was all over the sky, and the cavalry of the Qing court brigade came over, so they hurriedly whistled and quickly evacuated.

The cavalry brigade of the Beiyang Yamen pursued for more than 30 miles, and when they reached a mountainside, there was no trace of the pursuing target, so they had to lead the team to retreat.

Gunshots rang out on the edge of the city all night, Xuan Yuemeng was also worried about sleeping, very worried that Zhang Decheng and Wei Kuiheng were there, and more than 50 people, but all his family background, if he was destroyed, everything would be over, as long as this group of people died, his military dream would be gone.

People can't just use the number to count, just like the martial arts master, not all people who practice martial arts can become martial arts masters, and not all martial arts masters can be used by me, and if you start over, it won't be a year or two to recover.

Fortunately, Dali came early in the morning to report the general situation of last night to Young Master Meng, and the information was not transmitted back by Zhang Decheng, but Dali sent someone to look at it from a distance. (To be continued.) )
