Chapter 40: Dongchuan, I'm in charge

"Cangbai don't worry, Zhu Feibiao's subordinates are all capable people, I believe that they are still expected to take down the Daotai Yamen, as long as they hold those dog officials, everything will be easy to do!" Xie Zhi said reassuring words on the side, but Zhang Peijue's face became more and more ugly, he had dealt with Qiao Yu and suffered losses, even if he caught those officials, would Qiao Yu be able to give in? It's just whimsical.

At this moment, Zhou Ji ran in front of Yang Shukan and the others: "Mr. Yang, the other party's machine gun is too powerful, the brothers can't rush over for a while, and their morale is already a little low, you see what to do!" ”

Yang Shukan was also in a dilemma at this time, originally when he realized that he was deceived, he wanted to retreat and preserve his strength, but he was still unwilling in his heart, and he also knew that now the Guangzhou uprising was in front of him, if Sichuan could succeed, it would strongly support the uprising in Guangzhou, if he gave up this opportunity, it seemed that Yucheng would fall into Qiao Yu's control, and it would be extremely difficult for him to launch an uprising again!

Just when he hesitated, dozens of soldiers from the patrol battalion fell in a pool of blood, these soldiers were a little calm, the guns and ammunition in their hands were insufficient, and the other party was in strict formation, if they continued to fight, there would be only a dead end, at this time, a few simple iron horns were erected at the gate of the arsenal, and a deep voice came out: "Brothers, everyone pay attention, you are all instigated by the chaotic party, the court will not blame you, in addition, Mr. Qiao knows that everyone is living in difficulty, and has prepared a salary, As long as you lay down your weapons, you will be paid all the money owed to you, so don't be obsessed! ”

"Surrender the gun is not guilty, pay the money! Surrender the gun and pay the money! At this moment, a few patrolmen carried four huge wooden boxes and placed them at the door, and with a bang, one box was poured to the ground, all of which were silver dollars, and the poor and crazy patrol battalion soldiers put down their guns as if they had been immobilized, leaving only the most determined members of the alliance who were still holding on, but they also began to flee.

"Mr. Yang, you retreat quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late! I'll cut you off! After Zhou Ji broke off with more than a dozen people, Yang Shukan, Zhang Peijue and others fled in a panic and went straight to the concession area, as long as they arrived at the concession, they were out of danger.

At this time, the front of the arsenal was full of surrendered soldiers, Han Yong commanded the patrol officers to collect weapons while taking the wounded away for treatment, and simply cleaned up the battlefield, and began to pay these soldiers silver, they were all in arrears for three or five months, more than half a year, Qiao Yu was fully distributed, everyone could get more than 20 silver dollars, and more could get 30 silver dollars, where had these Qiu Ba seen so much money, and said that he didn't know what to do with the silver dollars.

Many people took the initiative to kneel and kowtow, Han Yong was really not very suitable for this kind of scene, he reluctantly fixed his voice, and said loudly: "Brothers, I know that everyone is having a bad time at home, give the money to the family, let the old man and mother be happy, no gambling, no going to the kiln, if anyone dares to squander casually, I will break his legs, in addition, you must know in your hearts, whose kindness you receive, who you eat, if you forget this, don't blame me for being ruthless, now in order to arrest the rebellious party, I can only grieve you for one night, and everyone will be able to go home tomorrow morning! ”

At this time, Yucheng has fallen into chaos, those scattered bandits and rebels are running around, some people are fleeing for their lives, some people want to take the opportunity to make a profit, and there are also a lot of hooligans and ruffians have also come out, grab some silver, and there should be more despicable to attack women.

Many shops, pawnshops and ticket numbers have been impacted, but fortunately, most of these people are members of the Chamber of Commerce, Qiao Yu has notified them in advance to tighten their vigilance, so the casualties are not very large, but dozens of people have been killed, and there are also two large families whose homes were set on fire, and more than a dozen others were robbed, and the entire Chongqing City was shrouded in terror for a while.

After Han Yong dealt with those patrol battalions, he hurriedly dispatched patrol police to the streets to restore order as soon as possible, if they encountered robbery prisoners, they could be killed on the spot, and they were busy until dawn, and order was restored in Yucheng, and the people who were harmed by the chaos also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since ancient times, there has been a talk of military disasters, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, even if there are preparations in advance, the direct loss of property in this night is enough to tens of thousands of taels, and there are also many lives, and the damage caused by such a large-scale war disaster is really unimaginable.

Fortunately, it only lasted one night, and the citizens of Yucheng still worked and lived normally until the next day, but Qiao Yu was starting a second meeting with Yang Shukan at this time, it turned out that Yang Shukan and others wanted to escape into the concession area, but when they were about to approach the concession, they were intercepted by a group of people who suddenly killed, these people were neat, and they did not allow their own people to resist at all, and more than a dozen of the big and small heads of the Sichuan Alliance were all caught, and they were all locked up in the secret room of the Bai family at this time.

"Yang Shukan, let's meet again!"

"Hmph, I have nothing to say to you scum, if you have the ability, you will send me to the vegetable market, but I can tell you, the general trend of the times will be born if it is in order, and if it is reversed, it will die, although we have suffered setbacks in Sichuan, but the world will change sooner or later, the Manchu court is already in danger, and you lackeys will not be proud for a few days!"

Qiao Yu smiled slightly: "Yang Shukan, you are also a scholar, be polite in everything, don't steal in the next, don't rob in the second, don't eat foreign food in the third, where is the lackey, maintain local stability, weaver fathers and villagers suffer, it's my duty, just say that you made trouble last night, a gang of hooligans and ruffians and grass bandits are running around, if you don't stop it as soon as possible, this Yucheng City is only afraid that it will be full of fire, and the cry will shake the sky, if your so-called revolution is to let this person come out and cause trouble in the world, don't do it!" ”

"The revolution is inevitably chaotic, not chaotic, and in order to create the Republic of China in the future, these are all worth it!"

Qiao Yu sighed slightly in his heart, he didn't know how to build, he only knew how to destroy, and he was also arrogant, he couldn't help but say that it was the sorrow of the Chinese revolutionaries in this era!

"We have different philosophies, and I don't want to argue with you, I see the general trend of the world better than you, and I just want to talk to you about a condition, I don't know what you think?"

After Yang Shukan was caught by Qiao Yu, he was determined to die, but seeing what Qiao Yu said, it seemed that there was still hope for life, so he couldn't help but ease up a lot.

"I will not betray the secrets of the revolutionary party, let alone collude with you!"

"What I mean is very simple, take your people to withdraw from Yucheng, withdraw from the entire Dongchuan, and let you toss the rest, I can also give you some support, what do you think?"

Yang Shukan also gradually saw a trace of Qiao Yu's thoughts at this time, this guy is not loyal to the Qing Dynasty at all, what he is loyal to is his own interests, in retrospect, every time the alliance will make trouble in Yucheng, Qiao Yu's power in his hands is a lot greater, and now the patrol battalion, the most powerful army, has also failed, and Yucheng is the world surnamed Qiao, and now he wants to withdraw from Dongchuan with his own people, in other words, let himself go to Chengdu and make trouble in other places, so as to continue to give him an excuse to expand his strength, How do you feel that you are a pawn in the hands of others?

But what if you don't say yes? Then there is only a dead end, Yang Shukan is even more unwilling, Qiao Yu took a sip of fragrant tea slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, we have different ideas, but we are the same on the issue of anti-Qing Dynasty, don't you know each other, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, you still have to think about the gains and losses, if you don't agree, I can hand you all over to the government, and then not only you, the entire revolutionary party in Sichuan will be destroyed, you don't make a mistake and mislead people!" ”
