Chapter Seventy-Three: Gunshots
In the study of the Governor's Palace, Zhang Renjun was drinking the ginseng soup that the next person had just served.
Zhang Renjun was already old and frail, and with the gradual deterioration of the situation in Sichuan, his complexion became worse and worse.
And seeing that the situation in the entire Qing Dynasty is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid Zhang Renjun's body can't support it for too long, and the only thing that can comfort him now is that I'm afraid that only after being treated like this by him, the new army still hasn't responded to such a news...
Maybe he knew that his master hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and the people outside were even walking lightly, and the Governor's Mansion was a little quiet and weird for a while.
And then...
Three gunshots rang out, breaking all the silence.
Just finished drinking the ginseng soup, Zhang Renjun, who was sitting on a chair and resting with his eyes closed, stood up in shock.
"Where did you shoot?"
The Baolu army has already left Chengdu, and martial law has been implemented in the city because of the current situation, and now there are gunshots...
"Could it be that there is a revolutionary party in the city who wants to make trouble?" Zhang Renjun's gray eyebrows wrinkled into mountain characters, but fortunately, there were no more gunshots after that, which made Zhang Renjun's somewhat uneasy heart calm down a little.
At this time, a subordinate ran in. "Master, the people who patrolled the battalion just now came over and said that there was a gunshot from the direction of Huasheng Company, and now a sentry officer is rushing over with people to check the situation."
"Huasheng Company?" Zhang Renjun frowned, remembering the very young man he had seen at the banquet. "This businessman surnamed Yan doesn't know what he's doing..."
At this time, the subordinate hesitated and spoke. "Master, do you think that the person surnamed Yan also wants to rebel?"
"He wants to rebel?" Zhang Renjun was stunned for a moment, but then shook his head. "A merchant with no soldiers in his hands, what is the ability to rebel?" Today, there are more than 10,000 patrol battalions in Chengdu and around Chengdu, and although he has always looked down on businessmen who engage in foreign affairs and businessmen like Yan Guang, Zhang Renjun still does not believe that a businessman will rebel.
However, the next person's subsequent words surprised Zhang Renjun.
"Master, I heard that when the former Governor Zhao was here, he once issued 500 gun permits to this businessman surnamed Yan, and almost all of the 500 guns were made in Hanyang..."
"Is this true?" Hearing what the next person said, Zhang Renjun hurriedly asked.
"That's right!" The subordinate nodded affirmatively.
If it is said in the past, his own lord is the governor of a province and a feudal official, which is definitely a good thing for the subordinates, even if the subordinates do not be a bully slave, it is also a very majestic thing to go outside.
But now the Qing Dynasty is already stormy, not to mention that the outside of Chengdu can almost be said to be surrounded by a circle, and the revolutionary party that cannot be suppressed can hear such things as an uprising in this province or that province even if you sit in the governor's palace.
Moreover, if it is said that another person can learn from other Manchu officials to follow the uprising and revolution, then this old man who ordered the shooting, causing more than 30 deaths and more than 100 injuries in front of the governor's palace, will definitely not be accepted by other revolutionary parties.
Those revolutionary parties will never let go of their own masters.
And after following his master for so many years, his surname is too clear, even if he dies, Zhang Renjun will never compromise with those revolutionary parties, although those revolutionary parties will never be rare in his compromise...
In this case, if Chengdu is occupied by the revolutionary party, the lord is dead, will he still have good fruits to eat? You must know that those revolutionary parties are all particular about the nine tribes!
Thinking of this, the subordinate hurriedly told everything he knew.
The subordinates think very clearly, although this posture of the Qing Dynasty will definitely not be able to be saved, but it is really occupied by the revolutionary party, so it will be said after waiting for himself to run far away!
"It is said that the reason why Lord Zhao issued 500 permits to carry guns was because the businessman surnamed Yan had built an exploration base in Yanbian and planned to find iron ore to build a steel mill there, so Lord Zhao and the surname Yan agreed that at least half of the 500 people would need to stay in that exploration base. Later, because of the railway, the man surnamed Yan seemed to recruit all the people in the base. Thinking of this, the subordinate hesitated. I heard from a sentry I knew, and the sentry said that there were at least five or six hundred men who had returned from that base, and that all of them were sturdy and sturdy, and that they looked like well-trained soldiers..."
Hearing this, Zhang Renjun's brows completely turned into a mountain character.
Putting aside for the time being whether this businessman surnamed Yan is going to rebel, as the governor of Sichuan at this special moment, Zhang Renjun cannot let such a dangerous force exist in the city no matter what.
"You go and call the commander of the patrol battalion right away," Zhang Renjun commanded.
"Yes!" The next man nods and runs out.
Zhang Renjun had already decided in his heart that no matter whether this businessman surnamed Yan wanted to rebel or not, he would definitely confiscate the human gun in his hand.
However, just as the subordinate ran out of the study, there was a sudden dense gunfire in the city, followed by explosions.
"Let's go and see what's going on!" Ignoring the order just now, Zhang Renjun hurriedly ordered.
"Yes!" In fact, at this time, the subordinates were even more nervous than Zhang Renjun, because according to the practice of several other provinces, such a situation represented...
Revolutionary Party!
"Damn, how did a revolutionary party emerge at this time." After running out of the study, the subordinate scolded secretly, at this time he was thinking about whether he should take this opportunity to run away? Anyway, not many people in Chengdu know themselves, so just find a corner to hide in, and when Chengdu is occupied by the revolutionary party, it will be fine.
However, years of love still swayed him, and in the end, gritting his teeth, he still ran in the direction of the patrol battalion.
At this time, the more than 30 patrol battalion soldiers on the company's side have been almost solved, not to mention the difference between the number of people who are not willing to calculate, just a small half of the hundred Madsen has been swept down, and the rest are thrown over with a grenade, and the still alive have already run away by themselves without being ordered by others.
After making up a shot for a patrol battalion soldier who obviously couldn't survive to reduce the pain, Wang Erdao. "Boss, it looks like we're going to move a little faster."
"Leave some people to take care of the injured with the doctors, and the rest will arrest Zhang Renjun." Saying that, Yan Guang glanced at Wang Er and them. "Also, remember to call me handsome in the future."
They pouted, but they still nodded. "Yes, Dashuai!"
