Chapter 43: Liu Tong
Beside the Han River, groups of soldiers lined up in a neat queue waiting to board the boat.
After nearly two months of arduous training that was full of freshness and laughter after the new standard commander took up his post, the 21st Mixed Association and the 42nd Standard of the Hubei New Army began to accept the deployment task again, leaving the second and third battalions that were about to be deployed to Hankou and Liujiamiao stations.
Zhang Wenjing and Yue Peng both had the Browning M1911 sent by Su Hongsheng yesterday in their waists, dressed in military uniforms, and their leather boots were shiny and indescribable.
"Hearing the sound of cannons, Wenjing, you will immediately lead the troops back to Hankou to meet Yue Peng, Yue Peng, you should also pay attention, if Wuchang is really chaotic, there will definitely be people in Hankou who will make trouble, those who take advantage of the fire to rob." Yang Qiu raised his eyebrows.
Later generations of Hankou chronicles have recorded in detail that from the night of the Wuchang Uprising to the next night, the ruffians and hooligans in Hankou also gathered after receiving the news, and took the opportunity to commit atrocities and abuses, killing and injuring nearly 1,000 people, robbing hundreds of shops and ticket numbers, and losing more than several million yuan in cash alone. What's even more strange is that after the Wuchang army crossed the river, only a dozen people were arrested, only two were shot, and the rest were all let go, and the money was gone, which shows that the water in this is not shallow.
But he wasn't worried about this now, Yue Peng was a smart person, he immediately understood what he meant, and nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, I will let them understand what is different from the regular army!" ”。
After the two smart people who knew each other looked at each other and smiled, Yang Qiucai continued: "We are now a duty unit, but we only have three bullets per person, we must pay attention to saving if we don't have to, Brother Xiao, I will immediately send someone to send you bullets after they get their hands on them, if the baggage battalion can all rush over, I will also increase the number of troops for you, as for Chen Shanyou and Guo Erxing." ”
"Don't worry, adults, although Wen Jing spends more time holding a pen than a gun, he will never be pedantic enough to be slaughtered by others." Zhang Wenjing already smiled and said: "I think that Liujiamiao is too critical and should be stationed there." ”
Yang Qiu didn't know that Liujiamiao was important, but it was too dangerous there, in history, after Zhang Biao escaped, he set up a large camp there and held out until Yinchang arrived, Zhang Wenjing had no problem dealing with Chen Shanyou, and it was too dangerous to deal with him, so he must not risk putting a battalion under this person's mouth.
"Come back, come back, Liujiamiao is the first stop in the three towns, once there is a change, the army from the north will definitely come in the starry night, you can't stop a battalion, retreating to rely on Hankou is the only hope of winning ()." Yue Peng straightened his waist and looked at Dajiang to analyze the gains and losses.
Zhang Wenjing laughed: "Zi'an, you haven't made such an analysis for a long time, it seems that our top students are back." ”
"Hold it down, there are still a few days to endure whatever happens, I don't want to find Chen Shanyou to take your head back."
"you! Let me tell you, if he doesn't comply, after I kill him, I will definitely spread everywhere that it was you Yue Peng who did it, and you just wait for his concubines to find you to warm the bed. ”
"Haha."
After the soldiers boarded the ship with all the empty ammunition belts on their backs, Yang Qiu immediately stepped forward and raised his arms to see them off with the etiquette of a soldier.
Such a scene made Yue Peng and Zhang Wenjing look at each other and smile, although the training time is not long, but through unexpected training and strengthened ideological indoctrination, the appearance of this army has been greatly improved, and more importantly, the soldiers still don't know, unconsciously they have actually been branded with that person!
The departure of the two battalions is like the release of two carrier pigeons, and after five days, will they be able to return safely?
Yang Qiu didn't know, he really didn't know, there were too many variables under the turbid river, rebellion and reconciliation were commonplace, no matter how many tongues he spent, Xiao Anguo and the others were always separated from him, even if they were really persuaded by themselves, but Shen Shukai, who still had no news, painted a layer of gray for the future.
Millions of huge sums of money, a shipload of munitions, in any era is a dazzling wealth, is it greed? Or was it discovered? When the sun sets, the "ship of hope" that should have arrived at the time is still ...... There is no docking.
After putting away the old pocket watch, Yang Qiu skimmed away all bad thoughts, and walked towards the still noisy camp with Bingwen, the departure of the second and third battalions did not make this place empty, and the security team and the two teams of mixed cooperation and engineering that Li Yuanhong handed over to him were more than 500 people, and they filled this place again.
Wish...... It's still there!
*****
Three days have passed since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the traces of the festival can still be seen on the streets of Xinsheng Road in Hankou, the traffic is busy, the excitement is still the same, the tense atmosphere in Wuchang seems to be blocked by the Yangtze River, and even because a large number of businessmen and officials have crossed the river to take refuge, it has become a lot more prosperous here.
Liu Tong stood at the door of the photo studio and stared at the photos of the modern girl with grease and powder for a long time, especially the pair of breasts that were about to come out, which made him feel that his mouth was a little dry and itchy, and he had finished smoking cigarettes in his pocket, so he had to walk into the photo studio crookedly.
He didn't come to take pictures, but Liu Gong and his wife temporarily took refuge here after the accident in Nanhu, and the two couples didn't dare to go out again for safety, and all the usual contacts were handed over to him.
When I walked up to the second floor, I saw my eldest brother fiddling with the telescope brought back from England at the window, leaning over and asking, "Brother, what's there to see, give me a second look." ”
Li Shuqing, who was folding the quilt, said with a smile: "Second uncle, don't mess around, your brother is watching the soldiers' daily patrol routes." ”
"Patrol routes? What's so nice about this. Liu Tong pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to open the drawer and found that there was not a single cigarette, licked his lips and said, "Besides, Brother Sun Wu, didn't they tell you not to worry about it!" You're not in good health, just rest well, what are you talking about. ”
"Nonsense, is the body important or is the revolution important? Liu Fuji: They are holding their heads and preparing to do things, but I am idle every day, hey! Hearing the sigh, Li Shuqing hurriedly comforted: "Don't be sad all day long, people are different, things are different, if you didn't coax your family to raise money, they wouldn't even be able to make up the money now." ”
"That's right." Li Shuqing suddenly remembered something when she said this, and asked: "Yang Yuru and they took the money to Shanghai to buy guns, why haven't they come back yet?" Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for three days, in order to wait for them to delay and delay, has something happened? ”
Gongchang Liu sighed: "Did the accident happen, didn't the explosives come back a few days ago, but the gun that Chen Qimei bought has not been collected yet, and he said that he would keep it for his own use, so it dragged it ()." ”
"Well, why did he intervene again!" Li Shuqing didn't like Chen Qimei, and when she heard that she had dragged the key gun again, she was a little angry and said: "This person is not good, he smokes a lot all day long, prostitutes women, and I heard that he has also contracted a body of willow and plum sores, I really don't know how to let him take care of Shanghai." ”
"He's in contact with gang people, all the time." Liu Gonggang was about to say a few good words for Chen Qimei, but Li Shuqing waved her hand impatiently: "Don't say it, this is your man's business, I don't like to hear it." ”
Seeing that his wife didn't want to hear it, Liu Gong had to laugh dryly, and Liu Tong didn't bother to stay, so he spread his hand and said, "Brother, give me a dollar." ”
"Do you want money again?" Liu Gong frowned, which made him a little unhappy after the time handed over the daily expenses and procurement matters to Liu Tong, and the money was like running water.
Liu Tong was not a little embarrassed, and said: "I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes, I always have to socialize when there are many things recently, and I always have to smoke a few cigarettes." ”
Li Shuqing saw that Liu Gong was unhappy, so she walked over and took out a piece of ocean and handed it to Liu Tong: "Recently, your brother's money has been supported, and we don't have a lot of money, so you can save some." By the way, you should smoke less cigarettes, don't hurt your body like your brother. ”
"It's still my sister-in-law who treats me well." Liu Tong said with a smile: "Ruicheng's old dog is greedy for millions of taels, and the next time I raid his house, I will also let you and my brother live the life of a Shanghai tycoon." ”
"Nonsense, even if you copy the house, it will be used by the party, how can you be greedy for ink privately! What is the difference between this and a full tartar? When Liu Gong heard this, he immediately coughed angrily.
"You, Liu Tong is a child, isn't that what you say?" Li Shuqing hurriedly ran over to beat him on the back, Liu Tong saw that his brother was really angry, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly ran downstairs ().
Looking at Liu Tong's figure from the window, Liu Gong sighed before picking up the telescope again.
When he went out, Liu Tong bought a box of cigarettes casually, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw that Jin Leprosy was talking to a few green-skinned hooligans of the Yangtze River Gang, but when he passed, Jin Leprosy quickly stopped his mouth and said with a smile: "Yo, isn't this Liu Tong's brother?" We're all smoking cigarettes, so get one. ”
Liu was young in the same year and liked to read the biography of the ranger, so he had always envied the Jianghu people like Jin Leprosy, and after handing a few cigarettes to Jin Leprosy and the gang, he asked with a smile: "Brother Jin, what are you talking about?" It's not like you're going behind my back to discuss something good. ”
"What's the good thing about that." Jin leprosy rolled his eyes, and said solemnly: "Isn't it that you are about to raise an issue, and discuss with the brothers what to do." ”
"Hehe, it's still Brother Jin chivalrous." Liu Tong chatted for a few words and said, "Come on, Brother Jin, you are busy, I went to Baoshanli to have a look, I heard that there are a lot of new things." ”
"Then go quickly, don't miss your brother's big business." After the golden leprosy sent Liu Tong away, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved, and he turned his head and said: "The explosives arrived a few days ago, and they were rushing to make them overnight, so in my opinion, this matter should be in the next two days, you immediately inform the brothers to get ready, take out all the guys we hid, and don't hide it at this time!" Hmph, let's hide and nest for a few years, it's time to get a ticket to enjoy Qingfu! ”
"Big brother, where is the Rui gang leader."
"it! A girl, dominating that position for several years, when we are done, Lao Tzu wants to taste her fine skin and tender meat! ”
"Hey, hey." Several hooligans laughed obscenely in unison, and said with a smile: "Then can we also drink some soup." ”
"Let's put off the soup thing, that Chang Si is not easy to mess with." After Jin Leprosy finished speaking, his fingers flicked away the cigarette butts, greedily glanced at the bustling street, and said fiercely: "Prepare more white towels and tie them to your arms when the time comes, and let's have a good revolution!" ”
