Chapter 166: Lawlessness
On East Street, the prosperous and lively scene of the past has long been gone, and the ordinary people have long been hidden, and the wide and tidy streets are crowded with the soldiers and their horses of the Sheng Army horse team wearing Wuyun coats and drunkenness, and there are six or seven hundred people, all of whom are gathering in the open space between the dyeing factory and the Aurora Bank with their unsheathed sabers, shouting and cursing loudly.

As expected, the angry Lu Benyuan came to the door to ask for an explanation and find a place. But the people under him and his mind are different, as soon as he heard that he was going to go to East Street to find a place to fight, he immediately came to the spirit, East Street is the place of Qin Caishen, not to mention the bustling street, but there will be no shortage of good things in those factories and shops of Qin Caishen, if you take a handful of it back, it will be a fat year. There are even those who have lost money in gambling these days during the New Year, and they have long held the idea of taking the opportunity to smash and rob.
Therefore, as soon as these people entered the East Street, some people broke into the nearby shops and began to smash and rob, and the brigade that followed Lu Benyuan naturally refused to lag behind when they saw this scene, and when they arrived at the front of the dyeing factory, they were in a chaotic formation, some rushed into the sales department to grab things, and some rushed into the side of the office of the factory managers to smash the various account rooms, and more cleverly, they directly crashed into the bank, thinking of making a big deal in the bank.
The chaotic rebels rushed like a swarm, and the doors of the sales department of the Aurora Group and the hall on the first floor of the office building on both sides of the dye factory gate, as well as the large glass door of the Aurora Bank hall, were suddenly broken.
The bank is better, there is Xu Tong's reconnaissance company waiting inside, as soon as the rebels rushed in, Xu Tong, who had long been unable to hold back his anger, gave an order, and more than 200 people of the reconnaissance company immediately rushed out from the side doors of the hall and behind the counters.
The scene in the sales department and office building on the opposite side was much more miserable, because Zhou Dajing didn't expect that as soon as Sheng Jun's people arrived on East Street, they would start smashing without saying a word, so they didn't arrange alert troops in the sales department and office building on both sides of the dyeing factory, but they just blocked the gate with Chu Yunfei and Du Baozhong with some people carrying knives and guns, and when they saw Sheng Jun's people arrive, they began to smash them, and they couldn't help but regret it.
Fortunately, Du Baozhong reacted quickly, seeing that the doors of the sales department and the office building were blocked by the chaotic soldiers who rushed in, he ran back to the yard with a whistle, and the cavalry company that had been waiting in the yard immediately set up a human ladder, broke the windows of the sales department and the office building facing the courtyard of the dyeing factory, and climbed in from behind. Many of these people still had blood stains on their knives, which made the rebels even more terrified to look at.
Du Baozhong's people rushed into the sales department and office building from behind, Chu Yunfei would not be idle, turned around and shouted angrily, the soldiers of the first battalion who had long been holding back their strength struggled to open the two gates, and rushed out from it with a hula more than 600 tall and strong soldiers with rifles with bayonets, these soldiers with red faces quickly lined up in a neat queue in a small open space in front of the gate, and under the leadership of Chu Yunfei, holding the bayonets like a forest, they were stabbing at the Sheng army who were eager to rush into the dyeing factory. This burst of bayonets was suddenly blocked in front of the door of the dyeing factory, coaxing the Sheng army and the rebels who were fighting each other, crying wolves and howling backwards.
I don't know why, although the Qing army in the late Qing Dynasty spent a lot of money to import a large number of Western fast guns, but they did not buy the bayonets for the guns at the same time, and they were naturally very amateurs in using bayonets in combat. A few bold and ruthless Sheng Jun, wielding a sabre, just pushed away the bayonet in front of him, and before he could swing the knife and cut it over, a few bright bayonets were stabbed on both sides.
Although they had already confessed that they were not allowed to stab the opponent's vital parts, these young men with strong blood and strength were not training the thorn grass target now, but fighting with a living opponent, and the attack would be so accurate, the anxious Zhou Dajing shouted behind the crowd before he stopped Chu Yunfei, who was wielding a saber and slashing the back of the sword.
Although Chu Yunfei is brave and ruthless, he is not a person who knows the depths, and he knows that this matter must not be out of control today, so he loudly ordered the people of the first battalion to retreat, and lined up in several horizontal lines with bayonets outside the gate of the dyeing factory, and the people of the cavalry company in front of the sales department and the office building stood in the street, and waited for the battle.
As soon as the dyeing factory and the bank made a move, the officers and soldiers of the salt regiment who were in ambush everywhere immediately rushed out, and the soldiers of the two companies that were originally used to block the street entrance beat out the rebels who broke into the shops on the street and robbed them one by one with bayonets. Most of the rebels originally came with the intention of fishing in troubled waters, and when they saw the people of the salt regiment stabbing their arms and legs with bayonets, they were so frightened that they ran towards their own brigade.
But even so, there were still many rebels who would rather be stabbed in the arm or leg than throw down the looted property. Some carried horses of silk, some carried robes of leather robes, and even some wore stolen new coats and carried bacon and ham in their hands, and ran to the group of soldiers outside the gate of the dyeing factory. After clearing these rebels, the two companies at the corner of the street, also with rifles loaded with bayonets, lined up in a tight line on the streets on both sides of the dyeing factory.
Lu Benyuan, the commander of the Shengjun horse team, was angry before he chased after the team, and on the way here, he was tossed by the galloping horse, and the cold wind blew the snow particles, and his mind cleared up a lot, but he regretted it a little.
It's not a trivial matter to make trouble with the soldiers, and if you don't do it, you may not be able to keep the top on your head. But looking at the red-eyed sentry officer beside him who was still bleeding from the white cloth wrapped around him, as well as the subordinates around him who were excited and galloping wildly, Lu Benyuan couldn't turn back, so he had to secretly regret it in his heart.
When he entered East Street, he saw that someone got off the horse and started to rob the store, Lu Benyuan was even more frustrated, and wanted to stop drinking, looking at the eager eyes of those subordinates who followed him, but he knew that he could no longer restrain it. After thinking about it, the matter had come to this point, so I had to do a fight with the salt group first, and the more lively the fight, the better, so as to cover up the crime of arson and robbery. Even if Li Hongzhang is held accountable, and Wei Rugui is on his head, Li Hongzhang can't put all the blame on Sheng Jun's head, it's a big deal to hit fifty boards each. If it is done well, not only because Li Hongzhang is sheltered in private, but these officers and men of the horse team who have robbed a lot of benefits cannot help but honor themselves. In this way, he will not only gain benefits, but also establish prestige in the Sheng army, maybe he will be willing to rob Wei Rugui, the position of president of Sheng Jun, who is not familiar with the world and has offended many people, so why not do it.
What made Lu Benyuan feel a little unsure was that he was very afraid that Qin Chuan, the head of this salt ball, would not do anything with him, but just blindly apologized with good words, and was paying some silver for nothing, which was a little unbeautiful.
It was with this thought in mind that a large number of people in the Sheng army rushed to the door of the dyeing factory, and began to smash and loot without explaining a word, Lu Benyuan did not stop it, but just rode on a horse and watched coldly, and saw his subordinates in embarrassment from the Aurora Bank and the sales department, and the office building, and the soldiers of the salt regiment who rushed out with bayonets in the dyeing factory were headless and brainless, and almost everyone in front of them hung colors, and he couldn't help but be frightened in his heart, he didn't expect the people of the salt group to be so fierce, didn't even pay attention to the well-known brand of Sheng Jun.
Lu Benyuan looked at the soldiers of the Salt Regiment who were surrounded by bayonets on all sides, and he was even more surprised.
The people in these salt groups are all young people in their twenties and sturdy physique, not to mention, they are all more than 1.8 meters tall, obviously half a head taller than their embarrassed subordinates, not to mention that the other party's queue is strictly organized, only the subordinates of the saber have nowhere to fight if they want to, that is, with the tall and sturdy soldiers of the other party, the people who fight alone must not be opponents, and they can't help but become more flustered in their hearts.
Lu Benyuan secretly prayed in his heart, these lawless salts, don't even dare to move!
When he saw those red-eyed Yantuan soldiers being shouted by Zhou Dajing, Lu Benyuan's hanging heart was put down, and then he looked at the panicked and frightened eyes of these subordinates who were forced to gather around him by bayonets, and Lu Benyuan had no choice but to shout。。。。。。 (To be continued.) )
