Chapter 70: Mary's Message
In the afterglow of the sunset, Xu Wei carried an outdated backpack on his shoulders and walked happily on the way back to school.
Xu Wei is a junior at a third-rate university, without a prominent family background and a powerful father, he can only rely on himself for the future. In the wave of large-scale enrollment expansion of various universities, it has become impossible for a student from a third-rate university to find a job that earns more money than migrant workers. Therefore, Xu Wei decisively chose this line in his first year of college. However, in the fierce social competition, a third-rate college student can do very limited work, but for Xu Wei, a child who has ten years of school age and paid a terrible price for it (he was not admitted to a prestigious university), there is still a good job - Internet writer.
Since his freshman year, Xu Wei has started to write different types of novels on the starting point website, and he has also earned a lot of extra money, and he is also well-known in the writer's world. In recent years, overhead novels have become popular, and Xu Wei has to keep pace with the times, so Xu Wei is ready to write a novel about the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. He first downloaded a lot of materials on the revolutionary army's uprising from the Internet, and then found out from a few military enthusiasts the production formulas of various special steels, the production of large-caliber artillery shells, the production process of engines, and the drawings of striking guns and the production process of artillery shells.
He had been working for these things for nearly a month, and it was said that many things were forbidden, and he had to fight hard to get them from a supposedly powerful enthusiast who had to sue his grandmother.
Suddenly, the siren in front of him burst on, and two men with masks ran towards him with guns, and from time to time they wanted to shoot a few shots from behind. Nani! Police and Bandit Wars! Xu Wei was stunned for a moment and turned around and ran backwards, how did he outrun the professional bandits with his weak body, and soon the bandits caught up with him, so our poor Xu Wei became a glorious hostage. The bandits kidnapped him into a nearby building and confronted the oncoming bandits. Two steel bandits skillfully remove their gear and confront the police using the window sill of the building as a cover. The building is an abandoned building, and the reinforced concrete structure is very strong. Before he could do so, there was a sound of brakes outside, and the voice of a middle-aged man came from outside through a megaphone: "Listen to the bandits inside, you have been surrounded, and your only choice is to lay down your arms and surrender and seek leniency from the government." One of the bandits hid behind the wall and fired a few shots aimlessly outside, shouting, "Don't come, or we'll kill him." ”
The middle-aged man said: "You can't escape anymore, don't do any more useless resistance." If you rob the jewelry, as long as you put down your guns and surrender, you will only do more than ten years, if you kill the hostages, it is a capital crime, you should know which is more serious. ”
The robber added, "We're going to think about it." The middle-aged man outside said again: "Okay, I'll give you five minutes to think about it." At this time, the bandit glanced at the other bandit, and the other bandit still got off his backpack and bent over to a corner, picked up the waste in the corner, lifted the plank on the ground, and suddenly a hole the size of a sewer manhole cover appeared in the ground in the corner of the wall.
Although Xu Wei was still very scared after the panic just now, he could barely calm down. Now it dawned on him that the bandits had already prepared. A sense of fear immediately led to Xu Wei's heart: "The bandits must kill me before they run, and they must not let them run, it's a big deal." The bandits were relieved to see that there was no accident, and their guards against Xu Wei were relaxed.
When it was too late, Xu Wei rushed to the leading bandit to snatch his gun. Just when Xu Wei was about to succeed, something else appeared. Xu Wei's foot tripped over the scrap on the ground, and his hand slipped from the bandit's hand to the bandit's waist, dragging off two goose egg-sized objects. Under the terrified gaze of the two bandits, the two goose eggs exploded. The room burst into flames.
The next day's newspaper had this report: "Yesterday afternoon, Alice's jewelry and electronic store was robbed at gunpoint by two bandits, and when the police chased them to Jiefang Road, the bandits took another hostage in an abandoned house. During the confrontation between the police and the robbers, there was an explosion in the abandoned house, but there were no casualties. The police found a tunnel in the house after the explosion, and the police suspected that the hostages and the bandits had escaped from the tunnel, and the police are currently pursuing the robbers and rescuing the hostages. In addition, the police did not rule out that the hostages and robbers were in the same accomplice, and the details of the case are pending further investigation. ”
Xu Wei felt that his whole body was falling apart, lying on the ground weakly, and it was difficult to move even his fingers. Xu Wei opened his eyes to find that the sky was gray, and the afterglow of the sun was about to dissipate. It is a miracle that the violent explosion did not kill himself, and he did not even blow up his clothes, but only shook himself to the point of weakness. Xu Wei raised his arm with difficulty, and the hands of the watch showed that it was half past seven. Consciousness gradually recovered, and Xu Wei suddenly thought that there were two more bandits. Xu Wei laboriously supported his whole body with his hands, and looked around, and the two bandits were lying on the stone next to him, their heads covered in blood and motionless, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive. Xu Wei put his hand next to the nose of a bandit and found that he was no longer breathing, he probed and probed that the other bandit was also dead, and he was immediately relieved, shouting that he was so lucky.
He lay on the ground weakly, and it took about ten minutes before he gradually regained his strength. Xu Wei slowly stood up, only to find that the place where he was lying was the shore of a small lake, and through the last rays of the sun, he could see a row of buildings that could enter the Chinese cultural heritage, and he could vaguely see a few people in long shirts walking around the street, and a few policemen with rifles and big braids under their big caps were driving people on the street. "Where am I" Xu Wei thought blankly: "Am I wearing it too, this is too bloody." "Thanks to Xu Wei's reading of more novels, he has a strong receptivity, so he won't be scared into mental illness." Look at the outfit, this should be the end of the Qing Dynasty. Xu Wei thought so.
After accepting the fact that he had crossed over, Xu Wei began to check his things, after all, life had to go on. My backpack is still there, which is a blessing in misfortune. The phone was broken and reshaped, but it was kept as a souvenir. The drawings in the bag are enough to make a living in this world, and Xu Wei is not so entangled when he thinks of this. Xu Wei turned around to look at the two robbers and was immediately happy. The robbers had two AK-47s, two bulletproof vests and two backpacks, one of the robbers had two small pumpkin grenades hanging from his waist, and the other robber only had two grenade rings on his waist. These two grenades didn't blow themselves up, but they brought themselves to this unknown world, and they didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
Xu Wei took off the robber's bulletproof vest, put one in his bag, and put one in his clothes. Xu Wei opened the robbers' backpacks, one of them was loaded with one or two dozen grenades and some bullets, about a few thousand rounds, it seemed that the robbers were ready to fight a protracted battle for the police but were destroyed by themselves. When he opened the other backpack, his eyes immediately straightened, and he exclaimed that he had made a fortune. It turned out that the other bag contained a bag of gold and silver jewelry and some jewelry, which was worth seven or eight million if it was worth not 10 million in modern times, no wonder the two robbers were so desperate.
When Xu Weizheng was happy, there was a gunshot from a distance, and Xu Wei's hand shook and dropped the bag on the ground. With the sound of gunfire came a revolutionary slogan, Xu Wei dropped the bag he was carrying on his back, took off the grenade from the corpse and hung it on his body and threw the corpse into the water, put a gun in the bag where the weapon was placed, and walked towards the shouting place with another AK-47. Xu Wei clearly knew that this was his chance, he had no braids, once he was caught by the Qing army, he would definitely be killed as a revolutionary party, and if he joined the uprising, he might even get the title of a revolutionary meritorious service. The future is a revolutionary party, and the mainstream is a republic, and since we have come to this world, we will fight for it, and it will not be in vain for us to wear this meeting. Forty or fifty rebels shouting for revolution stopped when they saw the young men in front of them wearing strange clothes (casual clothes) and holding strange guns, and they all pointed their guns at Xu Wei, if they hadn't seen Xu Wei without braids, they would have shot.
At this time, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man walked out of the crowd and said to Xu Wei: "Who are you, why are you blocking our way!" Xu Wei said: "I am Xu Wei of the Revolutionary Party, and I came to command the uprising on the orders of Mr. Sun Yat-sen. When everyone heard that he was also a revolutionary party, they all put down their guns, Xu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: "It seems that Sun Cannon has a deterrent effect everywhere." The young man said, "Since you were sent by Mr. Sun Yat-sen, what evidence do you have?" Xu Wei didn't have any evidence, and hurriedly said: "My gun is a gift from Mr. Sun, and the power is comparable to the Makqin machine gun." After saying that, he fired several shots into the distance, and everyone was shocked. Xu Wei continued: "I also brought the activity funds in front, you can go and have a look." With that, he pointed in the direction he had come. Xu Wei asked, "Which unit are you from?" The young man replied: "We are the eighth battalion of the New Army Engineering, and I am Xiong Bingkun, the head of the rear team." ”
"Xiong Bingkun! Xiong Bingkun, who fired the first shot of the Xinhai Revolution! Revolution! Xu Wei exclaimed.
At this time, another person came out of the crowd and said to Xiong Bingkun: "Xiong is short of time!" Xiong Bingkun said: "We are going to the Chuwangtai Ordnance Institute, where are you?" Xu Wei said: "Come over and help me get something, let's go together." Xu Wei picked up the bag where the weapon was placed, handed the other two bags to the two people who came over to help, and shouted together and marched towards the Chuwangtai Ordnance Station. By the time Xu Wei and the others arrived at the armory, the defenders of the armory had already driven away the reactionary officers to join them. When about 40 people from the 8th Engineering Battalion led by Xiong Bingkun arrived at Chuwangtai, the officers and men of the 8th Engineering Battalion of the Chuwangtai Ordnance Institute who stayed behind greeted them. The armory was owned by the revolutionaries, and the ammunition was freely available.
Just as Xu Wei, Xiong Bingkun and others wanted to obtain the weapons and ammunition of the ordnance station, another group of rebels arrived at Chuwangtai. Led by Xiong Bingkun, it turned out that Zhou Dingyuan, a soldier of the eighth battalion of the project, and Xiong Bingkun were both organizers of the eighth battalion of the project. When Zhou Dingyuan learned that Xu Wei was the representative sent by Mr. Sun Yat-sen and brought military expenses and uprising arrangements, he was overjoyed and wanted to respect Xu Wei as the commander-in-chief.
It turned out that on October 9, Sun Wu made a bomb at the office of the Communist Association at No. 14, Baoshanli, in the Russian Concession of Hankou, and accidentally exploded. The Russian patrol heard the news and went to search, and the wounded Sun Wu and the people who were present quickly escaped, but important secrets such as documents, seals, and flags of the uprising were searched. Liu's apartment, which was adjacent to the CCP organ, was also raided, and Liu Gong's brother Liu Tong and four others were arrested. Upon hearing the news of the search and arraignment, the Governor of Huguang felt the urgency of the situation and immediately ordered martial law throughout the city, to search the revolutionary organs by location, and to arrest the revolutionaries according to the register.
At about 5 p.m. on the same day, Jiang Yiwu, Liu Fuji, and other military leaders at the general headquarters of the uprising in Xiaochao Street, Wuchang, learned that there had been an accident in Hankou and that the plan for the uprising had been exposed. He decided to advance the uprising to 12 o'clock that night, and immediately sent people to secretly convey the order of the uprising to the revolutionaries in the barracks of the New Army. That night, the general headquarters of the Xiaochao Street Uprising was surrounded, and the military and police broke in. Liu Fuji was arrested in a hurry to drop a bomb without exploding, Peng Chufan was also arrested, and Jiang Yiwu was not noticed by the military and police because he was wearing a long robe and a horse coat and long braids, so he escaped. Party member Yang Hongsheng was followed by the military police on the way to deliver ammunition to the battalions, and he accidentally injured himself and fell into the hands of the enemy.
Due to the martial law of the whole city, the city gates were closed, and the order could not be delivered to the artillery outside the city on time, and the plan for the uprising was not realized at 12 o'clock that night. On the morning of 10 October, the news spread that Peng Chufan, Liu Fuji, and Yang Hongsheng had bravely died at the Huguang Governor's Office, and the military and police were still conducting an intense search. Many revolutionaries and the soldiers of the new army who had been mobilized were thinking about their lives and deaths. Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to fight to the death.
The uprising is on the verge of breaking out, which is why this uprising took place. Because Sun Wu was wounded and hospitalized, Jiang Yiwu escaped during the military and police raid, and the other leaders of the uprising were martyred or arrested. Therefore, when I learned that Xu Wei was the representative sent by Mr. Sun Yat-sen, I suddenly had a feeling of finding an organization, and I was willing to hand over the command and let Xu Wei take unified command. Xiong Bingkun saw that Zhou Ding was willing to give up the command, how could he love the power, so he handed over the command to Xu Wei. Xu Wei shouted that this is the real revolutionary, too public and selfless.
At this time, more than 300 people gathered at the armory, and most of the soldiers joined temporarily. Because there was no officer, the soldiers were inevitably indulgent, and the order gradually became messy, which was completely different from the command when the attack was successful. Xu Wei walked to the door of the armory, pointed the muzzle of the AK-47 gun in his hand to the sky and pulled the trigger, and suddenly the gunfire was loud, and everyone was also awe-inspired, thinking about what kind of gun this was, how it was like a Maxim machine gun.
I was busy moving today, and I couldn't code the words, this is a book written by Lonely earlier, and I will soon have the opportunity to change it. (To be continued.) )
