Chapter 198: Qingpu's Gunshots

"Depending on the order of Prince Jun of Qinchayong in Guangdong, Sanjiang Shipping Company and Qingpu Cargo Station are involved in violation of the system and are now sealed! Detain everyone, wait, there are no officials, come, take these people down! ”

On February 13, the 54th year of Kangxi, a thin official with a group of soldiers entered the Qingpu cargo station, and when he arrived at the main building of the freight station, he called out the "manager" and said this with a document covered with the Qincha customs defense.

The "steward" who stared at him coldly with one eye smiled slightly, and said to the three people around him who seemed to be the leader of the patrol, "It seems that we are going to get ahead of the general department", and then asked the thin official: "This adult is ......"

The thin man held his head high: "Prince Yong's door is running, Dai Duo!" ”

Dai Duo was very excited, he finally came out, before the master always acted according to the big man Li Wei, and he was always beating the side drum. After Li Wei went to Huizhou in a hurry, he became the chief thinker and gave his master a set of clear plans.

In response to the master's need to grasp the evidence of Li Shi's guilt before the arrival of the other two messengers, Dai Duo analyzed that the Guangdong officialdom has been eroded and is a quagmire, and if you want to prevent the local government from becoming an obstacle, it is best not to make a big move first, but to directly attack Li Shi's key points.

What is the key point of Li Shi, in addition to his hometown of Yingde, there is also a Qingpu cargo station here in Guangzhou. The headquarters of the Sanjiang Shipping Company was here, and the people of the shipping company were locked up, and they directly planted a confession of Li wanton's rebellion. With this confession, he pressed Nanhai County to come out and go through the official procedures, and Li Shi became a thief. In this way, whether it is a Guangdong businessman or a Guangdong officialdom, they dare not say anything else.

This method is very much in line with Yinzhen's mind, although Li Wei has been sent to move Wang Wenxiong and dig out Li Shi's nest, but it is indeed less than an explanation from Guangdong officialdom, if you start at Qingpu Cargo Station, it will be the best of both worlds.

So Dai Duo personally went out and went straight to the door with a team of soldiers. Li Xi must have escaped a long time ago, and there are some shrimp soldiers and crab generals left here, but it doesn't matter, as long as it has something to do with Li Shi, he can bite Li Shi.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him did not move, they only suppressed their breath, and nervously looked at the circle of guards beside the one-eyed man, who were all bulging around their waists.

The one-eyed man was of course Fan Jin, he snatched the document from Dai Duo's hand and sneered: "Qincha? We haven't heard the cannon fire at the head of the city, where did the Qincha come from? ”

Dai Duo was angry, he was an official! The Qincha customs on this document, the purple and red seal is even clearer!

"What are you doing here!? Take! ”

He turned around and beckoned to those soldiers, but listened to Fan Jin's order: "Take it!" ”

There was a loud bang, not only more than a dozen short guns pointed at Dai Duo and the others, but also dozens of patrolmen armed with shotguns poured out of the building, surrounding them.

"Let's get moving!"

Fan Jin said in a deep voice, Dai Duo was still shouting, and was smashed in the face by the butt of a gun by the guard wearing the patrol uniform, and suddenly tears and blood teeth came down, and he didn't know up and down, left and right.

The whining whistle sounded throughout the Qingpu Cargo Station, and at the head of the bridge on the west side of Jiuxing Bridge, a simple man patted another person, who was much younger and wearing a "boat" uniform.

The man said, "Let's go, for now this matter is not something that you boatmen can get involved in." ”

The young man gritted his teeth and shook his head, "Brother, I can also help." ”

A younger patrolman who looked like a leader walked over: "Jiang Er, have you forgotten the rules of the boatman?" Don't grind! ”

That Jiang Er looked at the man helplessly: "Brother, take care!" ”

The leader walked to the honest man's side, looked at the figure of Jiang Er in the distance, and asked in a low voice, "Jiang Da, are you ready?" ”

Na Jiang Da grinned: "I don't understand those big truths very well, but since the life and death contracts have been made, what else is there to prepare?" With the money at home, my parents and siblings can take good care of it, this is enough, don't worry, I am the first to climb the Heavenly Road. ”

Lang Songliang shook his head helplessly, this Jiang Da is the best soldier in his outpost, he really wants to develop into the Heavenly Punishment Society, but this guy is always unenlightened, rebellion or rebellion, Jiang Da doesn't care at all, he just feels that he has signed a life and death contract and got the silver, and this life will belong to this group, what do you want to do, just give him an order.

"You can't force it anymore, so let's leave it at that."

Lang Songliang quickly changed his mind and waved at his sentry chief Zheng Wei, who also waved his hand to signal him to finish it. Two of them with 160 men were responsible for guarding the Jiuxing Bridge, a cement bridge seven or eight zhang wide that was the only land passage from Guangzhou City to Qingpu Cargo Station.

Before Li Xi left the cargo station, he instructed them that to keep this place was to keep order, and at the same time to show the merchants that Qingtian Company had the ability to protect their interests and the order they needed.

"But honestly, this place is too big......"

Lang Songliang looked around at the empty cargo station, always unsteady, and then thought that it should be a problem for Director Fan and Fang Wang to consider, and his position was here, so he threw away this faint worry.

A dense array of sandbags was piled up at the bridgehead, which was originally used to temporarily mend the embankment, but now it has become a cover, firmly blocking the bridgehead, and a sign that reads "Inventory of the cargo station, trespassers are regarded as bandits".

Guangxiao Temple in Guangzhou, it was noon, and I heard the entourage report that not only did Dai Duo not come back, but the Qingpu cargo station also erected a sign for clearing the inventory, hundreds of people blocked the bridge, and unrelated people were also evacuated. Yin Zhen was stunned for a long time, and two blush appeared on his face.

On the contrary, then Li Shi is really the opposite...... With a hint of excitement, Yinzhen acted resolutely, and summoned Yang Lin, the governor of Guangdong, and Guan Yuanzhong, the general of Guangzhou, to his side, in his opinion, these two people can still be used, and they can only rely on the two of them. Governor Zhao Hongcan's attitude was very direct, and he had to wait for the three Qin messengers to dare to face each other.

Yinzhen originally wanted to directly accuse Li Shi of being a thief, issue a document to arrest him, and all related industries were seized. Yang Guan and the others resolutely refused to do it, and the movement was too big. Forcing Li Shi to raise a big anti-flag is secondary, the silver of Guangdong officials and businessmen is still with him, but when the time comes, the lid of the entire Guangdong officialdom will be lifted, and the things below, I'm afraid that even Kangxi is unwilling to expose the world.

"I can not move anything else, as long as Li Shi, this Qingpu cargo station must be taken!"

In Yinzhen's opinion, anyway, Li Shi's nest is about to be ended, and he doesn't have to directly fight with Guangdong officialdom, so he takes a step back. Without moving the official article, I took the Qingpu Cargo Station gang, and at the same time, it did not involve the Sanjiang Ticket Store and the ancillary industry.

Yang Guan and the two had to give in, and the tacit understanding of the three was reached, Yinzhen wanted soldiers to give soldiers, but Yinzhen was responsible, and they pretended not to know anything.

In the afternoon, the time will pass. On the east side of Jiuxing Bridge, there were many people and horses, but there was no banner.

"Well, thousands."

On the lookout platform of the main building of Qingpu Cargo Station, Wang Tang smacked his lips, but his tone was extremely mocking.

"Send Zheng Hongyuan to the sentry? Give Lang Songliang and Zheng Wei a strong courage, I am afraid that they will be stunned and rushed closer, then it will be troublesome. ”

Fan Jin's words were not orders, but discussions, and when it came to combat command, he, the commander of military law, could only make suggestions.

"Okay, let's be ruthless for the first time, it's good to be able to stop them."

Fang Tangheng nodded, Shui Yong of Qingpu Cargo Station was incorporated into the Siwei and reorganized into two wings, Fang Tangheng and Wang Tanghe each had one wing. There are five posts in each wing, and each post has four eyes, and each eye has twenty people. Two posts were placed at the wharf, the Jiuxing Bridge and the warehouse, and the other two posts were mobile, and there were two posts in reserve. Although there are 800 people, the Qingpu cargo station is too big, and this person still feels thin, but fortunately, there is no shortage of carriages in the cargo station, and they can respond quickly.

"I'm afraid ......"

Wang Tanghe looked at the outline of the city wall of Guangzhou City from afar, faintly worried.

"True courage can only be found by confronting fear."

Fan Jin encouraged, this is his profession.

As soon as the words fell, the roar continued, and the battle began.

The Jiuxing Bridge was forty or fifty paces wide, and the Qing soldiers lined up more than 10 small cannons 100 paces away on the other side of the river, and struck violently at the sandbag area at the head of the bridge on the opposite bank for a while.

A wave of wind and waves brushed over Zheng Wei's head hidden under the sandbag, and after a while, he saw a trumpet cannon jumping on the concrete ground in the distance, he was about to laugh, the sandbag shook, and a puff of smoke and dust rose, and he couldn't help but take a sip, this clear dog's gunner is really a little accurate.

Zheng Wei is now the head of a sentry, and his uncle Zheng Yong followed the Silver Carp to Nanyang to find the White Swallow to resolve grievances and discuss great plans. A few days ago, when he learned that a war was about to start, not only him, but also the entire Hong Kong Shui Yong was boiling. When I arrived at the Qingpu cargo station, I realized that I hadn't decided whether to go back or not, but I just held the cargo station, and everyone was a little disappointed. But think about it again, as long as you kill the dog, it doesn't make a difference.

I've been practicing this marksmanship for several months, but unfortunately now that I've been promoted to sentry commander, I have to take care of everyone more than just killing the enemy.

Zheng Wei touched the spear in his arms and thought regretfully.

"It's coming!"

The subordinates who watched through the gap in the sandbags shouted, Zheng Wei restrained his mind, beckoned left and right, and dozens of people stood up.

The background is the opposite bank that is blurred by the smoke of gunpowder, and there is a thin layer of sand and dust floating nearby, and hundreds of Qing soldiers are rushing onto the bridge deck, all with waist swords and rattan cards, and the fierce light in their eyes is rising.

The Nine Star Bridge was only forty or fifty paces long, and this group of Qing soldiers had rushed through half of it in a moment.

"Near...... Closer......"

Zheng Wei picked up the musket, squinted at it, and muttered in his mouth, he could only fire this first shot, and he must not miss.

"Put!"

Twenty steps, the distance that can be hit with a short gun, Lang Songliang on the north side of the bridgehead, and Zheng Wei on the south side of the bridge, spoke almost at the same time.

Seeing that the bridgehead was splashed with sand and dust by their own artillery fire, Chang Cheng and Ma Harrier both laughed out loud at the same time, and then saw that the first climbers in the military standard rushed over half of the bridge deck, and the two looked at each other, both excited and regretful, and they were thinking, pulling out thousands of people, is this battle too big?

A series of explosions exploded, almost louder than the burst of artillery just now. The layer of dust and smoke covering the bridgehead was torn apart by the dense firelight, and the scene on the bridge deck became extremely unreal. The figures of those who ascended were like branches and leaves and grass stems, and from their bodies, one after another crimson petals bloomed in an instant, and then fell like epiphany.

At this moment, the harrier's mind froze, and he watched the bodies of those who had taken the lead on the bridge twist and beat, until the howl finally squeezed out of the roar and pierced their eardrums, and the soul finally returned to its place. The two of them held their heads in their hands and lay straight on the ground, looking left and right, and the other generals around them were almost the same movements, although they were half a mile away from the shining fire.

The half of the bridge has been covered by the human body, a few like the loss of the soul of the first climb in the same place in a circle, not knowing what to do, after a long time, only a person finally took a step towards the rear, and the Qing soldiers on this side of the bridge forgot the military law, and their hearts were thinking, hurry up, hurry up and escape.

The first to run faster and faster, only a dozen steps away from the bridge, a few fluffy noises cut through the air again, and a ball of blood spurted out of his back, and he fell on the bridge.

The low sighs of thousands of people converged, and everyone's hearts almost sank to the ground.

What kind of enemy is this!?
