Chapter 189: Taking Jinling (4)
Meng Shentong's bicycle team has a total of only 200 people, and there are few people who will bring it with him. I just got put in one by a cold gun, and I couldn't find the target, and under the sudden blow next to me, I fell down a lot, and immediately squinted and bent my waist to shoot at the other party's bandits.
Meng Shentong's bicycle team was a regular army, well equipped, and as soon as the flower mechanism fired, seven or eight of the bandits were beaten into a sieve.
As soon as the bicycle team opened fire, the city was immediately in chaos. Originally, the bandits opened fire, and many people mistakenly thought that the children in the city were playing with firecrackers. But as soon as the unique sound of the flower organ sounded, the bicycle team members scattered in the city immediately flocked to the county office, and on the way, they ran into Guo Shenqian's subordinates who were also gathering to the county office.
It is estimated that the other party has a guy in his hands, and he is wearing a Beiyang military uniform, and he doesn't know where the other party is, so he confronted each other outside the county office. After someone boldly learned about the scuffle inside the county office, the two sides fought again outside the county office.
There are many people on one side, and there are many people on the other side, and they are quite good for a while.
In front of the county hall, the fight was lively, but there was no movement in the lobby. As early as the moment the red lantern burst open, the door to the lobby was closed. As the gate closed, there was no need for the deputy county magistrate to greet him, and the back hall of the county government immediately poured out seventy or eighty soldiers with guns, wearing the clothes of the county garrison regiment.
Looking at them carefully face to face, Guo Shenqian finally knew that something was wrong. Blood! The smell of blood! These people have all been on the battlefield, and they all smell of blood.
This is peculiar to the Hundred Battles, not from the training ground.
Although Zhou Luo, the head of the county garrison, was retired from retirement, his subordinates were basically locals, and very few of them had been on the battlefield.
"These people were sent by Zhao Yun?" Meng Shentong also recovered from his initial surprise. Facing the muzzle of seventy or eighty black holes, his own spear was obviously not convincing at all.
"Of course, they are all men of my Han family who fought with Lao Maozi in Outer Mongolia!" Zhao Yun replied as he stepped out of the back hall.
At this time, Meng Shentong and Guo Shenqian had already been swarmed by soldiers and surrendered.
Guo Shen watched as the soldiers had even surrendered Meng Shentong's gun, only to realize that something was wrong. Outer Mongolia and Zhao Yun have a private connection, which is already a well-known secret in Jiangnan officialdom, but many old fritters are pretending to be confused, just buy the war horses and other animal husbandry items they need from Zhao Yun's hands.
Although Meng Shentong had heard of this before, he didn't expect Waimeng to send someone to support Zhao Yun, and now even if he knew what was going on today, it would be useless! blamed himself, strayed into the county office, and listened to the dense gunshots outside the lobby, Meng Shentong estimated that the group of bicycle teams brought today was more than lucky.
Seeing that Meng Shentong was still in a daze, Guo Shenqian had already reacted, and hugged his fist at the Cheng family brothers, who were also from the rivers and lakes, "Two, I don't know where Guo offended?" Why do you want to put on such a grand feast? ”
A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the Cheng brothers, they knew that there would be a fight outside, but they didn't expect that it was Guo Shenqian and Meng Shentong's people who fought first, which seemed to be a little different from the script arranged by Zhao Yun.
However, in general, the situation is still developing in favor of his side, so Cheng Muqing quickly recovered his original expression, and his face was full of smiles, "Captain Guo is worthy of being an old Jianghu, he is really fast-talking, then our brothers won't go around in circles."
Isn't the current qiē all caused by Captain Guo? I am willing to go to Nanjing with Boss Zhao to fight a lawsuit and sue Qi Governor for unfair trial! I wonder if Head Guo is willing to go together? ”
"Going to Nanjing to fight a lawsuit?" Guo Shenqian didn't expect that Zhao Yun and others would think of an armed march and go to Nanjing with a militia group of a few hundred people to settle accounts with the warlord Qi Dujun? What a guts! Or is Zhao Yun's head broken, it is Nanjing, the former capital of the Republic of China, not to mention the influence, even the city's defense is not comparable to regional cities such as Suzhou and Changzhou.
Zhao Yun didn't answer at this time, and now that the big scene had been controlled, they had to argue and step aside, comforting Xu Peng, who was trembling like a sheep's madness. This deputy county magistrate Xu was just pointed at Meng Shentong's gun, but he was completely frightened.
But at present, almost all the people in the county hall are rolling over on the battlefield, and their expressions are not only disdainful but also a little gloating. Who made this guy rush to be the host of the auction every time and made a lot of money, I don't know how many people are envious of that position.
"What are you going to do with us now?" Meng Shentong pointed at Zhao Yun and said, this Zhao Yun is the mastermind behind the scenes, except for him, the other program brothers and Zhou Luo are not the principals.
"Hehehe," Zhao Yun raised his hand and asked the surrounding soldiers to put down their guns, and asked rhetorically, "If I fall into your hands, what are you going to do with me?" ”
As soon as Meng Shentong heard that there was still something to talk about, he knew that his life was saved today, otherwise Zhao Yun would not have talked much to him, "If Boss Zhao wants to find something to do today, then our boss wants to ask you to change places to make a fortune?" ”
"Your boss?" It was the first time Zhao Yun had heard Meng Shentong mention this title, and he couldn't figure out for a while who this title was referring to.
"It's Qi Dujun, he is ready to let you be the mayor of Nanjing City and boost Nanjing's economy." Meng Shentong was also broken at this time, and he braided his hair if he didn't say it well, and there was still a way to live if he said it well.
"Oh? Is this a promotion? Zhao Yun heard Meng Shentong's explanation and asked teasingly.
Meng Shentong couldn't figure out what this Zhao Yun was going to do for a while? I can only say haha, "Hehehe, of course it's a first-class fat difference!" ”
After hearing this, Zhao Yun continued to ask, "What will happen to the local industry after I go to Nanjing, brother?" ”
Meng Shentong hesitated for a moment, but still said stubbornly, "This, of course, is taken over by someone sent by the Qi Governors!" ”
"Humph!" Zhao Yun already knew that they were thinking about themselves, "Then I don't know how many dry shares the two of them can occupy among them!" ”
"If there are dry stocks, let's just drink some soup. Boss Zhao is good at dancing with long sleeves, and the bigwigs in Nanjing have long been eyeing it, and your local industry will also be taken over by each of them. Meng Shentong thought about it and was offended, and said everything he knew.
"Huh! Isn't he afraid that I'll rebel? For the greed of these jackals, Zhao Yun laughed angrily.
"Anti? Just by your little people? Don't say that you can run amok with two or three thousand people under your command, now there is a regiment outside the city, of course, it is not the regiment of Commander Zhou, which was transferred from Changzhou Wujin. Coupled with a regiment under Commander Guo outside the city and a regiment under me, we have nearly 10,000 people in our hands, do you think you have a chance to rebel? "Meng Shentong is also a matter of facts, judging from the number of troops, Zhao Yun's chance of turning the tables is indeed not great. Armed with a team of peasants hoeing all day long to compete with the troops fought in the civil war, everyone was not optimistic about Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun has never trained his team well on weekdays, which is a well-known thing in Jiangnan, and it is this that makes everyone think that Zhao Yun is decided.
"You two are here, and Deputy County Magistrate Xu is also here! So who is going to command them? Zhao Yun asked with a smile, Meng Shentong was stunned for a moment, forgot about this stubble!
"And," seeing that Meng Shentong still wanted to continue to fool, Zhao Yun said, "Your second division has already transferred troops to Huaiyin and other places, and even your regiment only has some left-behind personnel and that bicycle team, what other troops do you have nearby?" You keep blowing! ”
Meng Shentong didn't expect Zhao Yun not to eat his own set, and he was speechless for a while!
The battle outside the county office was coming to an end, and everyone stayed in the county office with the gate closed, and could only distinguish the shape outside from the gunfire outside the door, but the obvious pistols, rifles and other chaotic sounds were slowly suppressed by the sound of submachine guns.
But Meng Shentong knew that Zhao Yun must still have a backhand, and his team was probably more than lucky. No, someone from the bicycle team has already begun to touch the county office, and after about ten minutes, more and more people outside the county government have gathered, and they are about to shout to the county office.
The door of the copper-clad bubble in the lobby of the county government opened suddenly, and more than a dozen tongues of fire burst out of it.
Zhao Yun has always been a good gentleman, but if he threatens himself, Zhao Yun doesn't mind making a cameo appearance as a killer.
Ten burly men of the Arnold level with 7.62 Browning heavy machine guns in their hands rushed out of the county office.
Although the bicycle team was unaware of the situation in the county hall before, so they were wary, they did not expect to encounter such dense firepower and be beaten in an instant.
On the street, in various inconspicuous alleys, similar heavy machine gun queues also appeared, advancing in neat formations, and every resistance was swept away.
In normal times, Zhao Yun must be a good gentleman, appeased and surrendered. But Zhao Yun is angry now, and he wanted to be a public servant in peace, but unfortunately this is a troubled time and it won't work. That would only make people look at their fists and let them speak.
For those who hurt him, Zhao Yun has always been a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood, but for those who help him, Zhao Yun will not forget them.
There is no doubt that the battle in the county is one-sided, although Meng Shentong's team is elite, but in terms of numbers and weapons, it is not the opponent of the "head snake" Zhao Yun, and the county will return to calm in the short term. Of course, this is also thanks to the hard work of Deputy County Magistrate Xu, although his goal is to scrape more land, but I have to say that he is indeed a good hand in government affairs.
With the virtuous assistant of Deputy County Magistrate Xu and the two accomplices of the Cheng brothers, Zhao Yun can finally throw away the "big burden" of pacifying the city after the riots. However, those subordinates of Meng Shentong and Guo Shenqian were taken care of by Zhou Luo outside the city, but the affairs in the city could only be handled by Zhao Yun himself.
