Chapter 64: Luring the Wolf into the House

"Bang Bang"

The soldier pulled the fire rope, and two one-pound Grusen cannons opened fire at the same time. The salt owl's sandbag bunker was blown away, and dust and smoke rose high. The Grimm cannon was blown into the sky, and the shooter was blown away by the air wave, and his body was blown to pieces by machine gun parts and shrapnel.

After two rounds of shelling, the machine guns of the Anhui Revolutionary Army rang out, and the two two-wheeled Makqin poured a rain of bullets into the ditch at a rate of 10 rounds per second, and the salt barons did not dare to raise their heads. The sailors who were ordered to come to support launched a charge under the command of the officer holding a foreign sword.

The soldiers were hunched over their waists, carrying their loaded Mauser rifles, and charged in the direction of the ditch where the Salt Barons were defended, accompanied by the sound of the small drums of the Rhythm surname.

Chai Dongliang watched from a distance, the salt lord side had been suppressed to death, and occasionally a bandit put a shot or two, and he was immediately blown to pieces by the artillery fire that returned fire.

"Shoot or kill!" The officer shouted.

"Shoot or kill!" The soldiers shouted in unison,

A bunch of old-fashioned guns, broadswords, spears and other weapons were thrown out of the ditch, and the salt lords were frightened by the dense firepower and surrendered one after another.

Under the threat of the sailors' bayonets, more than 200 salt barons squatted on the ground, holding the back of their heads with their hands and squeezing densely.

"Who is Xu Baoshan?"

The bandits looked at each other, but they didn't speak.

Chai Dongliang was a little annoyed, and said coldly: "Pull out twenty and cut them, and then pull out twenty every quarter of an hour until you hand over Xu Baoshan!" I think it's their hard mouths, or Lao Tzu's knives! ”

The wolf-like cavalry dragged out twenty bandits from the crowd, and the salt barons squatting on the ground squeezed into the middle, and the cavalry dragged them out by the collar.

Xu Baoshan squeezed out of the crowd, raised his chin and said arrogantly: "Don't look for it, Lao Tzu is Xu Baoshan!" ”

The soldier was furious, smashed the butt of his rifle on the crook of his leg and said, "You damn plague thing, and you dare to charge a big one?" ”

Xu Baoshan stiffened and did not kneel, and the four soldiers pressed his shoulders and did not press him to the ground.

Chai Dongliang waved his hand, and the soldier retreated: "You are Xu Baoshan?" ”

Xu Baoshan sneered: "Yes, grandpa will not change his name or change his surname, Xu Baoshan!" Are you the governor of Anhui? ”

Chai Dongliang nodded: "Xu Baoshan, are you guilty?"

The corner of Xu Baoshan's mouth picked out a chuckle: "I came here at the invitation of Yangzhou fathers, what is the crime?" ”

Chai Dongliang shouted: "You slaughtered the people, looted the people's property, and burned Yangzhou, and you dare to say that you are not guilty?" ”

Xu Baoshan laughed and said: "Aren't revolutions all like this? How many people slaughtered the people and plundered the people's property in the provinces? Aren't all these people now governors? But if they can do it, I Xu Baoshan can't do it? ”

Chai Dongliang was speechless for a while, what Xu Baoshan said was the truth, I don't know how many people in the provincial governors have played too much than Xu Baoshan, not to mention it, just say that the Huaishang Army entrenched in Anhui has a fight with Xu Baoshan for the lack of morality! The League has revolted many times, and has always followed the path of raising funds from overseas and then hiring the Inland Congress Party to rebel. Since the Wuchang Uprising, the Hui Party has raised troops against the Qing Dynasty, striking at the Qing court, and even more suffering from the scourge of the local people!

Disillusioned with the revolutionary party, the enlightened people turned their attention to the north. The reason why Yuan Shikai was able to become the focus of attention of all forces was that, in addition to his strong strength, the revolutionary party's chaotic character and misfortune caused trouble to the local area and lost the support of the people was also a big reason.

How many evils, done in the name of false revolution!

"Governor, what do you do with these people?" Fang Qingyu walked over from behind and asked in a low voice.

"Cut down Xu Baoshan and the bandits led by him! The others were escorted back to Wuhu to work as coolies! Chai Dongliang didn't bother to think about these bullshit things, so he waved his hand.

"Let me come!" A woman rushed out, her cape disheveled like a mad tiger.

Chai Dongliang was taken aback, only to see that this woman had a deep wound on her face, and the blood and hair were stained on her face, like a demon.

A soldier ran over and snapped upright: "Dudu, this is the wife of Yangzhou Sun Dudu!" ”

Chai Dongliang changed his smile and said, "You are the widow of Sun Dudu?" I already know the deeds of Sun Dudu, my sister-in-law is injured, go down and treat it well! Come, send Mrs. onto the hospital ship, and ask the medical officer to treat her injuries well! ”

Yan Xi broke away from the two soldiers who came to support her, and shouted: "Please do all the governors, my husband's death is unjust!" With that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Chai Dongliang pulled her up, thought for a moment and handed her the pistol.

Yan Xi took it, took two steps and put a pistol on Xu Baoshan's head, buckled it twice but did not buckle it, and the soldier helped her open the safety of the shooting. Xu Baoshan sneered again and again, as if he had already put death and life aside.

"I'm willing to die for the Tiger Master!"

"I am also willing to die for the tiger!"

The salt lords who were squatting on the ground scratched and asked to die for Xu Baoshan! The bolts of the sailors' guns snapped, and the bayonets against the chests of the salt barons could not stop them from rushing forward.

"Shoot!" Chai Dongliang said coldly.

"Bang Bang"

There was a burst of gunshots, and more than a dozen salt barons fell to the ground clutching their chests, and the scratching salt barons quieted down, but everyone was in tears.

Xu Baoshan said with tears in his eyes: "Children, Lord Tiger has eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas over the years, the earth and the ocean, what kind of woman Lao Tzu has slept in, Lord Tiger, I have lived a good life!" When you are dying, you good children who value love and righteousness will see you off, and the tiger master is content! Don't resist uselessly, since God let me die today, that's my life! ”

"Bang!"

Yan Xi held the gun in both hands, and finally knocked the trigger, Xu Baoshan's head opened a transparent hole, and the corners of his mouth fell down with a smile.

"Tiger Master!" The cries of the salt barons shook the sky.

The salt owl was tied by a company of sailors' ropes, and was escorted to the warship under the threat of bayonets, and the cavalry continued to pursue the remnants of the city of Yangzhou. The rest of the sailors mobilized the people of Yangzhou and came out to fight the fire together.

The fire burned for two days, and half of Yangzhou City was burned to rubble.

The people of Yangzhou hated these salt lords and demanded that they all be beheaded. Chai Dongliang killed more than a dozen people led by him, and the rest were escorted back to Wuhu. The people of Yangzhou shouted happily, but the people of the Chamber of Commerce were like ants on a hot pot.

Yangzhou is the base camp of salt merchants, these salt merchants feel that Sun Tiansheng is unreliable, so Xu Baoshan was brought in, these salt lords are very polite to salt merchants, everyone does some smuggling salt together, make a fortune together, and the cooperation is still full of pleasure. Unexpectedly, this time was completely different, after more than 4,000 salt owls entered the city, they burned and killed! The people of the Chamber of Commerce regretted that their intestines were blue, and now they led the wolf into the room!

The salt merchants' high-walled compounds, and the guards of the courtyards, and the salt lords lacked heavy firearms, most of which were not breached, and those who were burned by the fire had to consider themselves unlucky.

Now that the Anhui Revolutionary Army has entered the city, there are not only guns, cannons but also warships, which are not at all something that the salt merchants can compete with! These people remembered the benefits of Sun Tiansheng again, although that Sun Dudu spoke incoherently, but at least he didn't disturb the people!

This time the wolf was lured into the house, and the salt lord caused a lot of harm to Yangzhou, can the new Chai Dudu let himself go? The salt merchants are uneasy!
