From a distance, I saw a team of nearly 100 people, lined up in a straggler line and surrounded by a group of fat-headed and big-eared guys, walking towards the Yamen of the salt transportation envoy. The officers opened the way in front with loaded Stern submachine guns, and the soldiers scattered on both sides with Mauser 98 rifles with bayonets in their hands, and the team of nearly 100 people walked murderously all the way.

"Report to the marshal, Yangzhou salt merchants, chambers of commerce, etc., all brought! Please instruct the marshal! ”

The people were brought in, and after completing the task, the lieutenant who led the troops stepped forward and saluted with a body of conquest.

"Take a break, it's hard work, hurry up and take the troops down to rest!"

Hu Rui reluctantly let go of the hand that had been holding Sanniang, adjusted the military uniform on his body, and returned the salute and comforted.

"Yes!"

With an excited look, the lieutenant saluted and replied loudly.

Immediately, with two platoons of officers and soldiers, he glanced at a businessman with fat heads and big ears on the side, lined up, and trotted all the way out. A fire from the salt owl burned down almost half of Yangzhou City, and in the cold winter, there were no houses, and the people who lacked food and clothing did not know how much they would freeze to death! From the day they joined the Anhui Revolutionary Army, they knew that when they wore this military uniform, they were the people's soldiers! Everyone knows that the people of Yangzhou need them after the military disaster. Hurry up and take a break, there are still many things to do for them.

"Ahem, Dai Mengzhan, the manager of the Dade Salt Company, has visited Lord Dudu!"

Seeing the team of officers and soldiers go away, he glanced at the shopkeeper who was huddled behind him, and tried his best to clean up his nervous mood, and stepped forward to salute. The salt barons were attracted by them, and the salt barons on the river have been partnering to trade in illicit salt, and the relationship between the two could not be better! They have always been polite to each other, and seeing that they are cheap, Du Sun is naturally unreliable. hurriedly brought the salt owl in, planning to support a spokesperson, first, to ensure that his own interests are not lost, and secondly, to stabilize the situation in Yangzhou. But people are not as good as heaven, who knew that Xu Baoshan would cause such a big damage this time! Don't talk about adultery and plunder, this fire alone almost burned half of Yangzhou City! They brought the people in, and the news was secretly spread by them, and they couldn't get rid of the responsibility for luring the wolf into the house this time! Now the Anhui army has taken the whole of Yangzhou. There were also ironclad gunboats moored at the meeting, and everyone in the entire chamber of commerce was nervous, not knowing what the new Hu Dudu would do with them. This is the lord who led the troops to defeat Nanjing, Zhu Jiabao, Tie Liang and other heroes, to zuihou. Isn't it all planted in the hands of this Hu Dudu?!

Dai Mengzhan has also seen the world, and knows that it is difficult for people from this chamber of commerce to come forward. So as the manager of the Daedok Salt Company. He can only bite the bullet. After all, someone needs to speak, who can only get his identity in this!

"Hmph, I've been looking up for a long time~ Everyone, I have heard that Yangzhou has always been the land of fish and rice, the land of fat powder, and the base camp of salt merchants. As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, this Yangzhou is an outstanding person. All of you present have been in the business world for many years, and they are all figures with heads and faces. Wen Sao Yaxing is naturally no problem, today the governor of Pontus will invite you to watch a big show! ”

Hu Rui sneered and responded in a cold tone.

"This. This...... The governor is too polite, we are all vulgar people, watching the play is to watch a lively, I'm afraid I will live up to the governor's good intentions! ”

On the way here, Dai Mengzhan and the others had already thought of various possibilities, and they had also brewed corresponding countermeasures in their heads. Hu Rui's words greatly surprised them, and they were caught off guard, and instinctively replied in a hurry.

"Don't be too modest, this play is very simple, and the drama is very easy to understand! To sum up, there are a total of eight words: luring the wolf into the house, blood debt and blood repayment! Come on, bring it! ”

At this moment, the aura around Hu Dashuai was extremely powerful, with a majesty that could not be despised and shouted loudly.

"Bang Bang"

"Let's go, let's go!"

The handcuffs and ankle chains clanged, and under the reprimand and drive away of the guards and soldiers, Xu Baoshan, together with the leaders and backbones of various gangs, a total of more than 300 people, were all escorted by Wuhua Da Tie.

"Do you still know these people?!"

As the sun set, the blood-colored remnant sun slowly faded below the horizon. The blood-red afterglow sprinkled on Hu Rui's tall and straight body, and under the cover of the big-brimmed hat, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, like a devil from hell. It was cold and cold, so that the businessmen present couldn't help but feel a little sluggish, and they all took a few steps back.

"No...... I don't know. What does the governor mean by this, we are all law-abiding businessmen, and we have never taken a step beyond the thunder pool, how can we recognize these gangsters who are waiting to be punished? ”

In the crowd, I don't know who it was, suddenly burst into a sentence. This one is obviously not dead yet, and plans to hold on to it to take a look, after so many years of strong winds and waves, they are too familiar with the measurement of slander and intimidation.

Dai Mengzhan, who took the lead, and Zhou Guren, the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, and Fang Erxian, were all shocked when they heard this, and looked at the silent Hu Dashuai with complicated expressions. Expectation, fear, regret, panic, everything!

"Hahahaha, what a person who has never crossed the thunder pool! What a law-abiding businessman! What a how to know! ”

Hu Rui laughed angrily and said.

As the leader, Dai Mengzhan's heart thumped suddenly, and he sighed that it was not good.

"The shopkeeper of Qingyuan Industry Xu Da is here?! Is the road to ventilation and reporting going smoothly?! Obediently, Minister of the Ming Dynasty, what a big official! The shopkeeper of Sanyo Money Village is here?! Tsk, Deputy Minister of Finance, it's not small! Is the Governor of Pontus here here to congratulate you in advance on your promotion?! ”

Hu Rui has read the information provided by the Yangzhou Station of the Ministry of Intelligence dozens of times, and he has long been familiar with it. He quickly went through it in his mind, and then sneered and arched his hand.

As soon as the words fell, Dai Mengzhan and the others were as cold as falling into an ice cave, and they were fighting coldly all over their bodies!

The Hu Dudu in front of him is definitely prepared!

"Governor ......"

Dai Mengzhan's brain was running rapidly, and he was just about to say something.

"Xu Baoshan, the governor of Pontus asked you once, can you be guilty?!"

Hu Rui didn't give him a chance to speak, turned around and looked at Xu Baoshan, who was still struggling. Asked out loud.

"Hmph, I, Xu Laohu, crisscross the Yangtze River and dominate one side, and I have always been a man who dares to be a man! Lao Tzu was invited by the father of Yangzhou, what is the crime? ! The revolutionary revolution is nothing more than a grand looting and looting! I'm guilty, and you're all guilty! haha~"

Xu Baoshan, who was tied up like a zongzi, laughed wildly and struggled with a hateful face.

"Good, good! Come on, shoot Xu Baoshan and other bandit leaders on the spot, and comfort the Yangzhou compatriots who died! ”

Hu Rui glared angrily. Gritted his teeth, he gave the order. Any madness must be paid accordingly, and the blood debt can only be repaid with blood!

"Dadada"

With a loud click, the four Maxim heavy machine guns erected on the high ground roared and fired revenge bullets! The 7.92mm pointed-tip bullet swayed with dazzling brilliance and scattered death everywhere. The four Makqin were all bullets that had been processed according to Hu Rui's request. A warhead sanded with coarse sandpaper. After the disembowelment, the lethality is extraordinarily large, and when it is fired, it is a huge blood hole (rifle bullets rely on the bullet to stall and cut the human body. Deal damage. Grinding the warhead with sandpaper causes ballistic instability after the bullet is discharged. Although Kyoto will be lowered, a large blood hole will form in the body after being shot. ）！ Due to the extreme proximity, the raging bullets directly broke the dirty body of the salt lord in two!

When the gunfire stopped, the shattered, mutilated corpses of the salt barons were strewn all over the ground. The blood of more than 300 people was mixed with white brains and yellow spleens and other organs, and the ground was full of mush. The salt transport made the open space in front of the yamen simply become a Shura field!

"Wow"

With a bang, the salt merchant behind him sniffed the strong smell of blood in the air. Looking at the hellish scene in front of him, he couldn't hold on anymore and immediately vomited a large piece.

That's more than 300 people!

For a moment, including indulgence, the officers and men of the 2nd Mixed Brigade present felt unwell. Rao is a Yan woman who is accustomed to fighting and killing around Hu Dashuai. also quietly turned around and covered his mouth and nose.

"Let's take a look, it's all good haode! Can't stand it, right?! This is just a microcosm! Xu Baoshan and his ilk have harmed the people and the place, and they are innocent! But what are the sins of the people of Yangzhou?! Weishenme is going to suffer such a catastrophe?! In the huge Yangzhou, how many innocent people died as few as 300 people? ! Tell me, whose fault is this?! ”

Hu Dashuai freed up a hand and quietly put it on Sanniang's beautiful back to help Shun Shunqi. roared, pointed to Yangzhou City, where the fire was still not extinguished, and asked.

Soldiers are in trouble, and soldiers are like combs. After nightfall, the once prosperous city of Yangzhou is lit up with stars. The people, who had lost their shelter in the fires and their loved ones in the war, wailed and wept in the cold wind. The former prefect's yamen is now brightly lit. Due to the severe damage to Yangzhou City, almost half of the city was slightly burned in the fire, and even the salt transportation envoy Yamen was not spared. For the sake of command convenience, Hu Rui decided to temporarily set up the headquarters in the prefect's yamen. The 2nd Mixed Brigade, which had been hastily rested, almost all of them went into battle except for the troops guarding the ordnance! More than 5,000 officers and men were scattered in squads and platoons to maintain public order in the localities and prevent small and small disorders in the localities. On the one hand, he assisted the local people in relocating the wounded and rescuing property. Drawing on the sailors on the ship, they set up cauldrons one after another in the open space of the city together with the cooking squads of the 2nd Mixed Brigade, and were busy preparing meals. More than 400,000 people have been affected by the disaster, and just eating is a big problem.

"Dashuai, I have already visited, and preliminary statistics show that the total number of people affected by the disaster is about more than 400,000, and nearly half of Yangzhou City has been reduced to ashes! If this is to be rebuilt, it will require a lot of effort from Chinese businessmen. ”

Since he was reprimanded last time, Shaoxing Master Guan Ziqing has become extremely cautious. gathered in the temporary headquarters, and reported word by word.

"We'll talk about the reconstruction later, but the most urgent thing now is how to resettle these affected people! More than 400,000 people, who lack food and clothing in this cold winter, don't know how many people will freeze to death if they are not properly settled! ”

Hu Rui waved his hand irritably, for now, let's take care of these 400,000 mouths, and feed people first.

"The security and internal security forces and the gendarmerie have all been dispatched, and all the notices of the security people have been posted. Anyone who is found to have taken advantage of the fire to rob, rape women, or abduct or sell children will be shot on the spot! At present, the security in Yangzhou City can be guaranteed! ”

Sanniang quickly entered the state, and reported to 1510. In addition to the remaining personnel guarding the ordnance, the rest of the units of the Second Mixed Brigade have been fully engaged in disaster relief work. Yangzhou is too big, and more than 5,000 people can't see a shadow when they scatter it. Sanniang took precautions and sent out the security internal guard forces and gendarmes directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Intelligence in advance to take on the work of maintaining law and order.

"Dashuai, the damage from the fire has not yet come out. After the salt merchants returned in the afternoon, some wealthy local households, together with several grain merchants, temporarily put together 500,000 catties of rice to relieve the victims. Just now, a few salt merchants also took care of their families, and in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, they sent a bill of exchange of 2 million yuan, as well as a batch of cloth, stalls, vegetables and other materials. The Chamber of Commerce said that only the handsome horse is the first to look forward, and the Chamber of Commerce will fully cooperate with the relief work! ”

The head of the logistics department is bigger, and he needs to worry about food and drink.

"The response is not slow! The order was sent to take all the 500,000 catties of rice to make porridge and distribute it to the victims, and how long it could last. As for the salt merchants, tell them to take care of it themselves! The caught salt owl uses a soldering iron to brand a few numbers on his face and participates in the reconstruction work after the disaster as a coolie! In addition, in my personal name, I sent a report to Xu Shaozhen, the governor of Nanjing, stating the difficulties here, and asking Nanjing to support a batch of rice grain! Relief stations and temporary shelters must be built as soon as possible! ”

Hu Rui calmed down, thought for a moment and ordered.

"Dashuai, this is asking Xu Shaozhen for help......"

The head of the logistics department hesitated, it seemed that this was not to the point where he needed to bow his head to the trolls of the alliance and ask for help. With the support of Yangzhou and Wuhu, it should not be a problem for more than 400,000 victims to support until the beginning of spring next year.

"Do it!"

Hu Rui didn't explain, and waved his hand to do so. Hmph, isn't your alliance always clamoring for the leader of the Chinese revolution, and it's time for some blood.

After issuing a series of orders, a group of people in the command headquarters took the orders one after another, and Zuihou was left with only the sorrowful Hu Dashuai and the silent Yan Nuxia. In the dead of night, lonely men and widows are in the same room, looking at each other, and the two people with stories find a sense of familiarity and warmth from each other's dodging gazes. (To be continued......)
