Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The light boat cautiously passed through the battle-torn city of Wuchang, although there were still more than a dozen team members by his side to escort and assist in the battle, but in this kind of battlefield full of thermal weapons, even if you concentrate on hurrying, it will often be full of mortal danger, let alone rushing to track the target in the sky under heavy artillery fire......

Their target is naturally Rui Zheng, the governor of Hubei who has absconded.

This executioner, who had mutilated many revolutionary parties, was extremely cunning, and when the Eighth Artillery Standard had just begun to bombard the fortifications near the Governor's Office, he ordered his men to break the back wall of the Governor's Office, and hurriedly fled in the direction of the Yangtze River with the tax silver of the three provinces that had been converted into a large amount of silver bills half a month earlier......

"The number of the other party is not large, the degree is very fast, according to the calculation, probably have fled outside the city, if they do not arrive at the docks along the river in time, I am afraid that they will take a boat down the Yangtze River in the first time......

The one who spoke was Han Liu'er, the second good hand who was tracked in one place, and as for the first good hand Wu Datou, when he chased him out of Wuchang City, he was unlucky to be blown off the head by a stray bullet......

Although it was not a deliberate ambush attack, but in the face of the outlaws who were also elite, although Qingzhou and others successfully killed them one by one, their team still suffered heavy losses of three dead and seven wounded......

These are the most elite agents in the CIA, each of whom is a good player who can take charge of himself, and dying in this kind of battle means that it costs the CIA a lot of financial and material resources......

So. When Qingzhou had to leave more men behind to escort the seriously wounded back to Wuchang. The original anxious mood finally calmed down, but looking at the messy dock area in front of me, I unconsciously cast an indescribable shadow in my heart.

Although there have always been more than a dozen so-called gangs in the rivers and lakes secretly maintaining the underground order of more than 200 water wharves along the river, when the war in Wuchang City burned, the populous wharf area along the river suddenly fell into unprecedented panic and even vendetta......

The so-called gangs. It will inevitably be accompanied by a struggle for power and profit, and when the local yamen have completely fallen, the gangs or forces that were originally powerful because of the secret support of the government will naturally become the target of public criticism.

Since there is a fight, it naturally requires more manpower, material and financial resources, and at this time, Ruizheng, who has a large number of silver tickets to pay for the road. Obviously, in the reshuffle of the dock area, secretly occupy a few points of the lead.

Qingzhou knew very well that by Ruizheng's side, there were a few masters of the rivers and lakes who were originally born in the reckless, and in the face of this kind of chaos, they not only did not feel tricky. On the contrary, it is likely to be like a fish in water.

If the armed rebellion overthrew the rule of the Qing court on the surface, then the pursuit and killing of Qingzhou and others today is the biggest challenge to the underground order of the entire Wuchang City.

This level of struggle, although it has never qualified to be recorded in history, has not experienced the destruction of this subversion. Even if the rebel army eventually occupies Hankou and Wuchang, it will eventually be in a shadow that ordinary people cannot see. Wounds and aftermath left all over the ground......

Fortunately, these ace agents in the special place are originally from the martial arts and even the rivers and lakes, although they are now regarded as revolutionaries, but the rivers and lakes in their bones cannot be washed away......

Therefore, under the operation of Han Liuer and others, everyone quickly got on the line with the people at the bottom of the gang, and learned a little bit of news from their mouths, "According to the statements of those 'walking horses' and 'flat dan', there was a wave of people who entered the dock area before, but as for which mountain they went to worship the mountain, no one can say ......clearly until now."

"Twenty miles long street and eight wharves, it's better to go to the big wharf Cao Gang to worship the mountain first!"

According to Qingzhou's memory, although there are many gangs in the wharf area along the river, if it is said that the most powerful gang belongs to the century-old Cao Gang, although the relationship between this gang and the Qing court is complicated, the ancient gang rooted in the entire Yangtze River Belt in the 100,000 bitter ha, even now, still has his tenacious vitality.

If you want to find a group of people in the Yangtze River District as quickly as possible, then borrowing the power of the Cao Gang is undoubtedly the easiest and most direct way.

The difficulty is that if Na Ruizheng wants to go down the river, I am afraid that he will also take the initiative to find the Cao Gang first, once their golden bullet offensive has worked, I am afraid that the resistance will become stronger than ever.

Fortunately, even the Cao Gang is by no means a monolith, even if it is along the river in Wuchang and Hankou, I am afraid that there will be many different mountains, so whether they can win in this game depends on their own vision and even luck.

Although the scale of the Qing Gang (officially known as the Qing Gang) is not as large as the Hongmen of the descendants of the overseas people, it can be regarded as one of the oldest gangs in China, which was founded by Weng Yan, Qian Jian and Pan Qing, the three ancestors of the Cao Gang, during the fourth year of Yongzheng.

In the past, the disciples of the Cao Gang were all engaged in the official grain transportation, fiber pulling, loading and unloading, so they were also called the grain ship gang, within the north and south of the river, there were dozens of branches, and the gang members were not only extremely large in number and the composition was also very complex, it was one of the most popular and far-reaching folk secret societies since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.

And the reason why Qingzhou chose the Cao Gang first was also because of Yang Meng's bigwig-level status in Hongmen.

The so-called Qinggang Hongmen is a family, this sentence is definitely not empty words.

Although with her status as Yang Meng's nephew, she is not a real member of the Green Gang, but if she is a child of the Green Gang who has entered Xiaoxiang, no one will study too deeply if she wants to come here.

The so-called only entered the small incense, refers to the master passed the boat (died), did not have the master for the disciple of the big incense, and was called a foot in the door and a foot outside the door by the Qing Gang, although it is also a child of the Qing Gang, but it is not officially included in the door wall of the pedigree brothers, so to do things, naturally there is a little less gang rules, all rely on gold and silver to maintain this utilitarian human feelings......

Actually, since the Taiping Rebellion. After Caoyun's economic lifeline was almost cut off, this ancient gang set its sights on the rivers and lakes. And began to pay attention to the use of the gang's network in various places to open the door to the rivers and lakes of the people.

In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu, after the Cao Yun was completely changed to the official Yun, the scene of thousands of ships and thousands of flags floating in the river in the past also officially withdrew from history, and the disciples of the Cao Gang walked in all directions on the 6 lands, and also began to change from a gang with a little trade union nature to a pure gang......

The so-called grain ship does not open, and the finch pole does not nod. Whenever there are disciples who join the gang or worship the mountain at the dry dock, most of them have to collect a certain amount of money to maintain the operation of the gang, and when Qingzhou and the others handed over the worship post and all the silver dollars on their bodies, they were naturally quickly received by the big man on the selected mountain.

"Hongmen Hangzhou Mountain Double Flower Red Stick Monkey Yang Meng's disciple Qingzhou, I have seen Uncle Bo Li!"

The Qingzhou chosen the Qinggang boss is called Ren Sheng, and his nickname is Waitang Sheng. From a Hankou Township wharf of the flat shoulder, punch and kick on the Han Wharf head horse logo, and later Wuchang Yang Xing Zhao Erye took a fancy to him, taking advantage of the conflict of interests between the Han Wharf and the foreign wharf, he sat on the Wuchang Waitangjiao Wharf Boss position, to the present. Many people have forgotten his real name and only remembered his nickname.

This nickname is also the rule of the wharves in the Wuchang area of Hankou, one to indicate the territory under Ren Sheng's jurisdiction, and the other to symbolize his words on the Waitangjiao wharf.

"I have heard that the monkey Yang Meng is the lord of Honolulu, and the cannon is saddled before and after the horse. Seeing the situation in Wuchang City today, I knew that it was not true. It's just that your revolutionary party is not concentrating on reforming your life, so what advice do you have when you come to my outer pond corner? ”

Ren Sheng is not tall, only about 1.7 meters, extremely stout, placed in this Wuhan 100,000 'flat dan' and 'walking horse', it is basically difficult to pick out, but his Western-style dress and groomed smooth style, but it is extremely elegant, if you don't say that people who know him, at first glance I am afraid that I think it is a comprador in a foreign company in a concession.

Of course, although this Ren Sheng's speech is a little rough, but Qingzhou does not dare to underestimate him, he can occupy a place in the turbulent "Oriental Chicago", and his ability can not be estimated from the appearance, "Sheng Ye is too worried, Qingzhou came to Waitangjiao to worship the mountain this time, and he really has nothing to do but climb the Three Treasures Palace......"

Speaking of this, Qingzhou paused slightly, and saw that Ren Sheng did not interrupt himself, so he continued with a smile: "Presumably Sheng Ye also knows that the Hubei Governor's Office is in charge of the levy, and he is also in charge of the tax and silver transfer between the two lakes and Guangdong......

Ren Sheng wiped the beard on his lips with his fingers, and a playful smile appeared on his face, "With a few of them, even if they carry it on their shoulders, they can take away as many sas they want, no matter how bold Rui Zheng is, he doesn't dare to turn the tax silver of the three provinces into silver tickets, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he has that guts, does the money in Wuchang City dare to exchange all the tax money in the treasury to him at this pass......

"According to our intelligence, Rui Zheng had close contacts with foreign companies in the five major concessions long before the uprising, and this Han merchant's money bank did not dare to give Rui Zheng a huàn, but Sheng Ye, you also have some contact with foreign companies, so you must know whether they have the courage to do so!"

As he spoke, Qingzhou had already drunk all the tea on the table, and then looked at the uncertain expression on Ren Sheng's face, and indifferently buckled the teacup upside down on the table, "Otherwise, you can call and ask first, this is a million taels of silver, whether it is true or not, it can't all be cheaply given to those turtle sons!" ”

"Telephone!"

Ren Sheng stretched out his right hand to his subordinates, and although the expression on his face changed a few times, when he saw the upside-down teacup on the table of Qingzhou, he unconsciously showed a smiling face, "Since the virtuous niece has come up, she has handed over the bottom of the sea to Ren, and I naturally understand the rules, but although Ruizheng and a few people are wolves, someone has just sent a message that they have now been treated as guests by our Wuchang Mountain Lord!" ”
