Chapter Twenty-Six: Shooting to Save Lives
Seeing everyone foaming at the mouth and patting their chests to make assurances, Yang Tianfeng secretly sneered, it's not a good thing, it's just to scare you today, and I'll slowly clean you up later!
The banquet began, and the up and down of the running hall flowed endlessly, and the smell of wine and fishy filled the air. Yang Tianfeng responded for a while, then said goodbye and handed over the following matters to Zong Baichuan. He hated the atmosphere, he hated being around these people.
Walking out of the restaurant, Yang Tianfeng rode slowly, and the street, this building, slowly fell behind him. As soon as the yellow water passed, what would the town become, whether it was devastated or nowhere to be seen, he couldn't help but sigh heavily when he thought of this.
Accompanied by four guards, Yang Tianfeng left the town, went straight south, walked more than five miles, came to the yard mouth of Qulong Town, and walked on the embankment.
A few clouds drifted through the sky, and the wind became stronger, setting off layers of waves in the vortex. Not far away, the ships moored on the pier collided with each other, the masts swayed from side to side in the sky, and the boatmen ran from bow to stern, some repairing the boats, some arranging the canopy ropes, and preparing to set sail.
Several large boats were busy, and migrant workers carrying large bags were stepping on the creaking gangplanks and unloading goods to the wharf, which had already been built high on the wharf.
Yang Tianfeng looked up at the sky, then at the water, and was nervous. Thinking every day that the Yellow River is going to burst its banks, this psychological effect makes him a little suspicious, and he has to send people to see the rise and fall of the river every day.
"Young master, the water hasn't risen today." Xiao Si frowned again when he saw Yang Tianfeng, and took two steps closer to comfort him.
Yang Tianfeng nodded absentmindedly and asked casually, "I don't know when your third brother will come back, how many boats he bought, and how many boatmen he has attracted?" It's May 12th. ”
Xiao Si thought for a while and said, "It's only been seven or eight days since I went out, I guess I can't do it so quickly, young master, don't worry, my third brother is very reliable." ”
"Of course Xiao San is reliable, and I can trust the person recommended by the sect elder." Yang Tianfeng looked at the layers of waves blowing in the river, gently whipped his leather boots with a horsewhip, with a touch of melancholy and helplessness on his face, and said slowly: "Everyone said that they obeyed my orders on the surface, but in fact, they didn't think so, and this work efficiency was naturally not high. Alas, there is no way, I see farther than them, more thoroughly than them, and like all the sages in the world, it is natural to be misunderstood and slandered. That Bruno was burned to death, he said...... Hey, what are you looking at, didn't listen to me, I really played the piano to the cow. ”
Yang Tianfeng found that Xiao Si's gaze turned to the other side, and his own high-minded arguments obviously became a deaf ear, so he couldn't help but be annoyed, and stepped forward to kick it.
"Listen, hear, burn to death, burn to death." Xiao Si hurriedly smiled and nodded his head as if he was pounding garlic.
"Bosom friends are hard to find, bosom friends are hard to find!" Yang Tianfeng turned his head helplessly and looked in the direction Xiao Si was looking at just now.
A small boat had approached, and it was coming fast. A middle-aged man on the boat steered the rudder, and another fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl rocked the oars, both of them with anxious expressions.
Behind the boat, a medium-sized canopy was in hot pursuit. Yang Tianfeng's eyes widened suddenly, and there were several Japanese devils standing on the bow of the boat, holding guns, laughing and shouting loudly, kicking and urging the boatman to speed up. He clearly heard the devil laughing loudly, shouting "Flower girl, flower girl, don't run".
Yang Tianfeng squinted his eyes, snatched the reins from Xiao Si's hand, flew on his horse, and chased after him along the embankment.
Some boats had just arrived outside the dock, blocking the way of the boats, and the middle-aged man who had taken the helm reluctantly turned the boat and leaned towards the shore. The boat was very fast, and suddenly ran aground in the shallows, and the middle-aged man and the little girl panicked, jumped out of the boat, waded through the thighless water, and struggled to run to the shore.
Yang Tianfeng stopped his horse and waited for the man and woman to run over, keeping his eyes on the caravan that the devil was riding. The medium-sized ship was relatively large and could not reach the shore. The Japanese devils were screaming and shouting on the boat, and one of them actually picked up his gun and fired a shot indiscriminately. The two men were stunned for a moment, and fled faster and faster towards the shore. Seeing that the warning had no effect, the devil pulled the bolt again and aimed at the two men who had escaped.
"Phew!" The shrill gunfire rang out, startling the Japanese devils on board, and bullets grazed over their heads. The devil who was about to shoot also immediately stopped his movements and looked towards the shore.
After Yang Tianfeng shot to stop the Japanese devils from committing in broad daylight, he turned over and dismounted, coldly watching the further moves of the Japanese devils on the boat. Xiao Si and the others also rushed over, drew their guns in their hands, and protected him.
"Bastard, dare to shoot at the Imperial Japanese Army." Koshiro Morino angrily stared at several guys dressed as puppet soldiers on the embankment. Although it is clear that the other side is shooting with a warning, this is also intolerable. He was close to giving the order for his men to shoot back, but he hesitated. Because, at this time, Yang Tianfeng had already shouted a few words in Japanese.
Koshiro Morino waved his hand to stop the movement of his subordinates, frowned, and the person opposite signed up to say that it was Yang Tianfeng, the deputy head of the security regiment, which made him have to be cautious.
When he came, Miyamoto handed him a letter and a letter of appointment, instructing him to hand it over to Yang Tianfeng in person after coming to Qulong Town. As soon as he arrived at his destination, he killed the deputy commander of the garrison who had just been promoted, and I am afraid that it is a little unreasonable. Moreover, Miyamoto once said that Yang Tianfeng was his good friend, a person who could serve the Imperial Japanese Army.
Despite his displeasure, Koshiro Morino suppressed his anger and prepared to go ashore to ask what happened. He shouted back to the other side, and then ordered the boatman to pull the boat towards the dock.
Yang Tianfeng didn't know this, and he was very wary of this group of Japanese devils who claimed to be sent from the city. He also knew that shooting would inevitably make the arrogant Japanese devils very angry, and he was afraid that there would be trouble, so he immediately called for people to move troops to the town.
At this time, the soldiers of the security regiment who were responsible for maintaining daily order on the dock also ran over when they heard the sound, and their number exceeded that of the devils, which made Yang Tianfeng feel a little bottom in his heart.
Speaking of the security group, that is, the militia group set up by the Yang family, it is not as ineffective as Yang Tianfeng thought at the beginning. In fact, they have also fought several battles with bandits, large and small.
Since ancient times, "those who win the Central Plains win the world", and when there is a war, Henan and Huaibei are the places that suffer the most. From the Zhiwan War in 1920 to the Central Plains War of Jiang Fengyan in 1930, more than a dozen wars have been fought here in ten years.
