Chapter 25: The Winged Queen
At this time, Han Yong was surrounding a courtyard in the west of the city with two hundred guards, and when he came to the courtyard, he heard someone shouting loudly inside: "The surname Qiao injured our big brother Gu, can you agree?" ”
"Can't! No! ”
"Tear the surname Joe!"
This person seemed to be very pleased with this situation, and became more and more arrogant: "Everyone heard that the Qiao family has set up a big factory, I heard that the silver in it is not over the surface of the feet, and there are many female workers in the textile factory, all of them are big girls and little daughters-in-law, how about taking them back to warm the quilt for our buddies?" ”
"Good! It's long overdue! I don't have a daughter-in-law yet! ”
"Just your cowardice, who gave it to you is not unlucky!" There was a lot of noise and laughter in the courtyard, completely unaware that they had been surrounded, and it was said that the Brotherhood, as an old underground organization, was not so careless, even if it was night, there would be enough people to keep watch for any major gathering.
However, today's situation is very special, Gu Jinlong was suddenly arrested, some of the top leaders of the Elder Association are worried that the relationship between the Elder Association and the Alliance will be exposed, and it will be bad to arrest them as a chaotic party when the time comes, these well-informed people have run to the concession to hide, and the people at the bottom are used to bullying the weak and weak, and they don't take Qiao Yu in their eyes, so some small and medium-sized leaders openly gather together to attack the Qiao family and make a fortune, these people's abilities are very limited, and there are no sentry officers. happened to be blocked in the courtyard by Han Yong and others.
As soon as he heard these people shouting inside, Han Yong raised his big foot and kicked the gate away with one kick, and then two shots, hitting the leader shouting, and at this time, the rest of the guards also climbed over the wall and surrounded all these people with rifles.
"You trespassed into people's houses in broad daylight, and there is still a royal law?" A small leader shouted tremblingly.
"Humph! I don't have to talk about the king's law with you, I'll tie them all up! ”
These people became honest in the face of the swarthy muzzles, and they were obediently captured, Han Yong left a part of the guard, and then took the rest of the people to continue to the next den, with the support of the business community in Chongqing, the Elders' Association had no secrets at all, and four strongholds were destroyed overnight, hundreds of people were arrested, and the ordinary congregations were released just for a lesson, after all, there was no such a big prison to accommodate them, and the remaining dozens of heads were all escorted to the prison.
In the past two days, there has finally been no large-scale arrests, but the patrol police still patrol regularly every day to maintain law and order in the market, arrest thieves, and rectify the city's hygiene.
The businessmen also felt different, after all, in the past, small and medium-sized businessmen were inevitably blackmailed by hooligans, but now the dregs of these societies have disappeared, as if the world has suddenly become clear, and the support for Qiao Yu has increased a lot.
"Shunqing, it's really two times, and you have caught the leader of the elder brother association for dozens of years, right? Prisons are full! ”
"If you go back to Fuzun, a total of twenty-seven people have been arrested, and there are some homicides, as well as some traffickers and thieves!"
Niu Chuanshan was very happy when he heard that Qiao Yu had taken action against the Elders' Association, and this was what he was looking forward to, so he decided to personally inspect the patrol team, firstly, to cheer Qiao Yu up and let him continue to work hard to deal with the Elders' Association and the Revolutionary Party, and secondly, to let these patrolmen know who was their master.
Qiao Yu accompanied Niu Chuanshan into the school field, there were about 600 patrol officers in training, and the rest were patrolling the streets, looking at the neatly dressed and neat young team, Niu Chuanshan nodded frequently: "Shunqing, such a military appearance may not be comparable to the new army!" You're really capable! It's also a shame that such a team can deal with a fierce thief like the Elders! ”
"My lord, this elders' meeting is not well prepared, and the group of dragons has no leader, so it is easy to get it, but in the process of arresting, the captured rifles, shotguns, a total of more than 300 rifles, thousands of bullets, hundreds of pounds of gunpowder, and some homemade bombs, six patrol officers were injured, and one was seriously injured, this is still a surprise result, now I think about it is a little afraid, if these parties are prepared in advance, maybe there will be many casualties, and as far as I know, these are only a small part, I am afraid that there are more firearms in the concession, and there are probably still in the dens of the rebellious party, my lord, if you can plan well, this force may not be able to turn Yucheng upside down! ”
Niu Chuanshan listened to Qiao Yu's introduction, his brows furrowed tightly, the stability of Yucheng is related to his black gauze hat, he can't help but care, although Niu Chuanshan has already overestimated the power of the chaotic party, but he didn't expect that the power of the chaotic party is even greater than he imagined, so his brows are also condensed into a pimple!
"Shunqing, let it go, I will report to the Governor and the Daotai, and the weapons and silver will be allocated to you, I have one request, that is, we must stabilize the situation in Yucheng!"
"Don't worry, sir! As long as the manpower and weapons are complete, there is no problem in ensuring ground safety. ”
Qiao Yu and Niu Chuanshan exchanged a few words, and led Niu Chuanshan to the school field, the patrol officers quickly gathered together, standing in a proper manner, with a straight waist, majestic, and high-spirited, seeing this situation, Niu Chuanshan was also proud: "Brothers, you can capture dozens of leaders of the Elders' Association under the command of Mr. Qiao's office, and destroy several dens, this is a great contribution to stabilizing the situation in Chongqing, the court, and our people are all in the eyes, the court will not be stingy with rewards, I will award you five thousand silver dollars, I hope that everyone can be grateful for the grace of the imperial court, remember to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, do their duty for the imperial court, and establish greater meritorious achievements! ”
To be able to get the prefect's praise, everyone is still more happy, but the reward is 5,000 yuan, and it is less than 5 yuan to everyone, and everyone has a little bad taste in their hearts, it turns out that when Qiao Yu destroyed a few dens, he searched for thousands of taels of silver, and then Qiao Yu took out more than 10,000 yuan from his own hands, all of which were sent to everyone, at least 20 yuan per person, and made two new uniforms for everyone, using good materials, and the style was also novel, compared to this court, this court is far less generous than Boss Qiao, Everyone's hearts are a little disapproving, and the mentality has quietly changed, these peasant children don't have so many thoughts, but the simplest truth is understood, that is, whoever can make a good life will follow whom!
Niu Chuanshan didn't realize that instead of bringing the great grace of the imperial court to these patrol officers, on the contrary, it made a lot of waves in their hearts, he was very happy, and immediately asked the Shi Shuban to send all the guns and ammunition to Qiao Yu after leaving.
A total of 2,000 Hanyang made, as well as 200,000 bullets, and 5,000 silver dollars, Qiao Yu divided the silver, and then all the patrol officers were reloaded, with sufficient guns, the patrol officers counted some combat effectiveness, and one pound of bullets on the ground was enough, according to Qiao Yu's arrangement, the patrol patrols patrolled Yucheng day and night, leaving no dead ends, it was a great deterrent to those who still had remnants of the party, and they could no longer meet and contact as unscrupulously as before, and the forces of these parties gradually gathered in the concession.
Qiao Yu is also busy to death now, dealing with the affairs of the patrol police, and planning industrial development, even if he has nothing to do, he has to think about how to get the most benefits in the changes in Xinhai, and he can't wait to use one day for two days.
"Mr. Qiao, can I talk to you?" The stone book office in the yamen suddenly found Qiao Yu's office, and Qiao Yu still admires this stone book office, conscientious, hard-working, and very familiar with all kinds of things, and works solidly, but it is a little boring, if it weren't for Qiao Yu's lack of clarity about this person's details, he would have some plans to receive him under his command!
"It's Shi Shuban, is there something that the prefect has ordered?"
"It's not the prefect, it's the little old man who has some private matters and wants to talk to you!"
"Okay, if you have anything, just say it, I'll listen to you!"
Shi Shuban suddenly seemed to be a little emotional, and even his face turned red, and his eyes kept flashing different colors.
"Mr. Qiao, Governor Niu doesn't know, my old man knows that this patrol is your private army, and you also use the standards of the army to train this patrol team, I want to know if you have the intention to rebel?"
