Chapter 351: The New Order
The disciples of the Green Turban Gang were frequently injured by the people in the thatched hut with muskets, and Ma Cheng, the deputy leader of the Green Turban Gang with rich combat experience, immediately thought of setting fire to burn the people inside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The burning thatched hut lit up the faces of the Green Turban Gang disciples, all of them with excited expressions on their faces, clenching the hilt of the knife in their hands, ready to go up and fight when the people in the house rushed out.
At this moment, there were bursts of gunfire from behind the Green Turban Gang, and the burning thatched house as the background revealed the figure of the Green Turban Gang, which became the best target for the musket. At first, some people with strong martial arts tried to dodge forward with their nimble skills, which accelerated their death in front of the musket.
Some black figures appeared on the periphery of the thatched house, and several of them walked cautiously towards the thatched house with muskets in their hands, and the people in the house also ran out of the house, and they would all look at the corpses of the Green Turbans one by one, checking if there were any alive mouths.
Ma Cheng lay in the dirt pit, enduring the anger in his heart, not allowing himself to jump up and fight with the comers.
These people are simply too evil, the struggle between the gangs actually uses muskets, and the good players in the Green Turban Gang are all fighting against others, crawling out of the pile of dead people, climbing five watches every day and practicing martial arts in the middle of the night, but here they are useless at all, and they are killed before they get close to the enemy.
Ma Cheng lay on the ground and calculated, lying here is not afraid of being discovered by the last person to come, the musket is a long-distance weapon, and it is a burning stick at a close distance, Ma Cheng is confident that he suddenly jumped up with his own skills to attack a few enemies with muskets, and the opportunity to escape is still certain.
Ma Cheng waited quietly on the ground, and when the enemy approached, he suddenly jumped up and rushed to the enemy holding the musket, the steel knife in his hand swung out at the same time, Ma Cheng fit up and then found that his fate was very sad, the small group of three or four people was not as easy to deal with as he imagined, the approaching musket was not suitable for close standing, but the bayonet installed on the muzzle made the musket become a short spear, and Ma Cheng swung the steel knife and swung the three bayonets that split towards him, But there was a missing bayonet stuck straight on his thigh, before Ma Cheng could react that the opponent was moving forward, swinging the butt of the gun and hitting Ma Cheng's chin hard, Ma Cheng was beaten in a whirlwind, his saddest thing was that the other party seemed to have been prepared for his attack for a long time, every action was within their expectations, Ma Cheng collapsed on the ground and admitted the fate of his failure.
Yang Yuanqing, who came from the house, pointed a musket at Ma Cheng and asked, "Who is it?" ”
"Ma Cheng, the deputy leader of the Salt Gang." During this electric question and answer, Ma Cheng's fate was decided. Zhang Chu had already ordered that the members of other gangs should be killed. The members of the security team who participated in this operation were still merciful to this big fish. Ma Cheng was escorted aside, and the others went to see Hades.
Ma Ben thought he was an unyielding hero, able to show heroism under the pressure of the enemy.
But there is always a big gap between dreams and reality, Ma Cheng is not ambiguous in the face of the choice of life and death, but when he is detained alone in one place, all kinds of food cannot be delivered on time Ma Cheng collapsed, many people can do this kind of thing, and all kinds of discomfort that can come from the body are not something that anyone can overcome.
The security forces showed great determination in this operation, and Zhang Chu sent most of the men and horses of the special operations force. Gathering Ma Cheng and others is just a small prelude to action.
Hong Wang, the leader of the Green Turban Gang, kept receiving all kinds of bad information at the helm of the Green Turban Gang. The rudder of the Green Turban Gang was constantly bulldozed by unknown people, and a large number of gangsters with unique skills were killed on the spot. Many of the rudders were rushed in without preparation, destroying all the personnel.
Hong Wang reacted instinctively and gathered the backbone of the Green Turban Gang within the general rudder. Rely on the rudder, the sturdy courtyard walls and the large number of people for defense. Send someone to contact the government to mediate, and no matter what the opponent is, everyone can sit down and talk.
Nearly 1,000 people gathered in the helm of the Green Turban Gang, and they were methodically assigned by the gang leader to defend all parts of the courtyard wall, and the high courtyard wall became a powerful barrier. The Green Turban Gang doesn't have to hold on for too much time like being trapped in a lonely city, and the government will never allow anyone to gather thousands of people to attack the city and plunder the land, and it won't take more than a day for the government to send people to intervene.
But the gang members of the Green Turban Gang miscalculated, these people who attacked their helm did not have the slightest softness, and after a burst of ping-pong gunshots, the people of the Salt Gang were suppressed and couldn't raise their heads. The explosives bag pushed to the door burst open the courtyard door with a loud bang, and the security forces that rushed into the courtyard controlled the Salt Gang at all levels. The Green Turban Gang at all levels of the gang completely collapsed from the bottom level to the senior level, and the leader of the Green Turban Gang became a prisoner of the security army before he could resist, and he chose to live in the face of the choice of life and death.
Many high-ranking members of the Green Turban Gang were dragged out and beheaded in public, so that the low-level members of the Green Turban Gang knew that a powerful force had emerged, which was the security army.
The security forces took over the local forces of the Turban Gang in various places with Hong Wang's orders, and some people loyal to Hong Wang expressed doubts about the order, bringing them endless violence, and their proud martial arts and loyalty were not worth mentioning in front of the thumping muskets. The security forces swept away all resistance and took full control of the original territory of the Green Turbans.
The local government in various places received the report of the gangster's firefight, and they instinctively stayed away from these rights and wrongs, and the gang's fight was not clear, and whoever survived in the end was the local boss, and these people would eventually cooperate with the government. Moreover, the new forces coming to power will definitely bring new benefits to the government, so the government is basically happy to see the gangsters fight and will not interfere too much.
The war between the two sides calmed down, the government took bribes from the new forces, and no one cared who was in charge of the transportation and sale of illicit salt in these places.
In order to crack down on the forces of the Green Turban Gang, the security army invested a lot of manpower and material resources, cleaned up state and county by county, and continued to kill and win over, in which the bloody wind and rain were no less than a real war, and the uprooted Green Turban Gang disappeared. Most of the salt trade in the Ming Dynasty was brought under the new order.
The small salt merchants at the bottom did not feel more changes, but felt that the supply of salt was more abundant, and the price was gradually decreasing, making it easier to make money from salt trading.
The salt shipped out of Shandong occupied more market share little by little, and the high profits harvested brought Zhang Chu a lot of money, and Zhang Chu naturally wanted to do more things with silver. (To be continued.) )
