"Brothers who have crossed the river, follow the labor revolution!"

A little boss with a meaty face got up from the white body on the ground with satisfaction. Pulled the woman's embroidered belly pocket and wiped the dark red blood stains that had solidified on the ghost head knife. Turning his head, he shouted to his younger brother and continued to walk towards the next family. The salt merchant's introduction of wolves directly brought a shocking catastrophe to Yangzhou. In the turmoil, the ugliest side of human nature was fully revealed, and the former important town of the Yangtze River, the land of fat powder, and the land of fish and rice, as if the whole city had fallen into hell together.

Xu Baoshan took the lead, and almost all the salt lord gangs along the river, large and small, were dispatched. Rush to get involved, for fear of missing out on this once-in-a-century feast of plunder. Before the Xinhai Revolution, there was a large amount of salt tax stored in the yamen of the salt transport envoy that had not yet had time to be paid, and if nothing else, these millions of taels of silver alone were enough to make these thugs flock to it. Not to mention that Yangzhou has always been the land of fat powder, the land of fish and rice, Yangzhou thin horses are famous all over the country, and there are countless wealthy businessmen. Taking advantage of the vacuum of power in Yangzhou and the lack of order, he started to make a big profit, and this trip can be described as a steady profit and a combination of wealth and wealth. As for the so-called Yangzhou Governor Sun Tiansheng, he was completely ignored, there were few decent soldiers in his hands, there was a tiger master, and Yangzhou was not captured?

After the salt lords entered the city, they immediately dispersed in a hurry with their respective gangs as units. Under all kinds of banners, they went door to door to commit adultery and plunder. The women shuddered and pulled the ashes from the stove and covered their faces tightly, hoping to escape. But these are for the mob that has long been salivating. There are no hindrances at all. From 60-year-old ladies to children under 10 years old. They were brutally murdered. When encountering a young and undeveloped one, he was even more frustrated and directly picked open his lower body with a knife. Commit adultery! In the process, if there was any resistance, they were stabbed head-on, and then the thugs laughed and threw down the blood-soaked corpses behind them and continued to walk towards the next family.

"Good! Follow the orders of the master! ”

The other thugs around him laughed and chimed loudly. Along the way, each of them had pockets full of all sorts of looted goods, cloth, silver, porcelain, foreign watches, clothes, candlesticks, and the poor and crazy thugs wanted almost everything. Some even picked up the gold and immediately threw away the silver taels they had robbed! Yangzhou is big enough, and there are enough merchants and wealthy families for them to plunder, so there is no possibility of uneven distribution of spoils. There are opportunities in the back.

"The lady and mother-in-law of this big family are different! The thin skin and tender flesh are much stronger than the rotten bitch in the kiln! ”

A younger brother smiled lewdly and tied the waistband of his dirty, colorless trousers, and picked up the axe that was thrown aside.

"Hehe, tell you, this is where it is! Have you ever heard of Yangzhou Skinny Horse?! That's called the best pinch! Brothers who have crossed the river, follow the labor and management to continue the revolution! Let's also taste the taste of Yangzhou skinny horses! ”

"Do your bidding!"

The thugs laughed and agreed, and the group threw down the ruins that had become ruins behind them, and some were humiliated. The mutilated corpse continued to march towards the next household.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Thanks to the previous intelligence preparation of the Yangzhou Station of the Ministry of Intelligence, under the guidance of the radio, the artillery fire of the ships on the river became more and more accurate. In front of the Yamen of the Salt Transport Envoy. A 120-mm shell landed in front of the yamen just a few minutes ago, blowing up more than 20 salt barons that had been piled up here, and now there is only a huge crater left where they were standing!

"Oh no! Oh no! Old Hu Ye. Big things are wrong! ”

A probe horse, howling around the crater in the ground. Rubbing his companion's mutilated limbs, he ran over in a cloud of rubble.

"Panic what! The day won't fall yet! Say it. What the hell is going on?! Where was the cannon just now?! ”

Xu Baoshan cleaned the dirt off his body, got up from the ground, and scolded loudly. Relying on a fire, he took down the Yamen of the salt transport envoy, Sun Tiansheng was killed by a stray bullet in the battle, and he Xu Baoshan is the new governor of Yangzhou!

"Master Tiger, the turtle slave who killed that day put us together before he died! actually sent a telegram to the Anhui army, and now the Anhui army has crossed the river and called! Just now, the ironclad ships on the river were firing cannons, and the small ones risked death to count, and there were thirty large and small ironclad ships! ”

Tanma, knelt down, panting and reporting intermittently.

"What, Anhui Army? Can you see clearly?! Is it really the Anhui army that took Nanjing in half a day and fought all the way to Shanghai along the Shanghai-Nanjing line?! Aren't they supposed to be in Shanghai?! Where did these so many ironclads come from?! ”

When Xu Baoshan heard this, he suddenly changed color. has been on the Yangtze River for many years, and he Xu Baoshan is also a tyrant of the Yangtze River, and he is a well-known figure in both black and white, and this news is naturally the most well-informed. Before the governor of Liangjiang Zhang Renjun and Jiangning general Tie Liang personally sat in Nanjing, Zhang Xun, the commander of the Jiangfang patrol battalion, a total of more than 20,000 people, and Yuhuatai as a barrier, and the heavenly castle and fort as a fortress. Such a hard bone, against a reorganized division and a mixed brigade of the Anhui Army, it didn't even defend it for a day! Although he Xu Baoshan was born in a salt owl, he was also recruited and worked as an official soldier. He has more or less insight into the new army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, except for the two brushes in the ninth town of Nanjing, the others are some wine-stuffed rice bags! If it weren't for the good equipment, it is estimated that even his brothers would not be able to defeat him!

The Ninth Town revolted in Moling Town and was defeated by Zhang Xun. The previously unknown Anhui army could easily take the entire city of Nanjing in half a day. Such terrifying combat power made Xu Baoshan feel a cold sweat. After hearing that the Anhui army was on land and sea and led the troops to attack Yangzhou, Xu Baoshan felt that the hairs on his body stood up, and he pulled the long shirt on his body away from the flesh.

"I ask you, can you see clearly? Are there really so many ironclads?! Is it really the Anhui army that came?! ”

Sweating coldly. Xu Baoshan didn't care about anything, grabbed the probe horse who came to report the news, and asked with a hideous face and word by word.

"The Tiger Lord is clear! Everything the little one said was true! Those ironclad ships on the river are small, risking death to get close to the river. Count them one by one, there can be no mistake! For this. The small one was almost swept away by the cannons on the ironclad gunboat! The Anhui army got down from a big iron ship and was docking in a small boat, and there were at least several thousand! The banner is what seems to be the second mixed brigade of the Anhui Army, and the riverside is now full of green-skinned troops! The tiger master is clear, and the small sentences are true! ”

Tanma said with a bitter face and tears in his eyes.

"The grandson of the dog day!"

Xu Baoshan was furious, his face was red, and the green tendons on his neck were protruding. Viciously threw aside the big shiny braid at the back of his head, and yelled at the burning salt envoy Yamen.

"Lord Tiger, no, no, no. Lord Governor! As the saying goes, no profit can not be early, this Anhui military came all the way to drink tea, think about it, don't say anything else. With thousands of soldiers and more than 30 ironclad ships, such a large scale, the money spent will be lost. It's not profitable, this Sun was born like a dog, he just wanted to take the silver to Qing Anhui Army to help send us away! Now that this Sun Tian is alive and dead, you are actually the governor of Yangzhou. Just borrow the unfinished deal. It's not profitable to be early, this salt transport envoy has silver in the yamen, it's a big deal how much Sun Tiansheng promised him, let's give a little more! Take the silver in exchange for the Anhui army to retreat. You, as long as you sit on the position of the governor of Yangzhou, do you care about such a little silver? ”

Behind him was a dog-headed military advisor-like man. Pretending to fan the little fan, smiling flatteringly. Come forward and come up with ideas.

"It's still the master's brain, this scholar is different! Come two people. When I went to the riverside to contact the Anhui army, I said that Sun Tiansheng was dead, and I, Xu Baoshan, now took over as the governor of Yangzhou! The deal that he didn't finish with Sun Tiansheng before the Anhui Army, Lao Tzu is next! No matter how much Sun Tiansheng opened before, Lao Tzu gave him half more! As long as they admit me as the governor, it's okay to double it! ”

As if a drowning man suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, Xu Baoshan laughed wildly and praised repeatedly. Immediately instructed his subordinates, this Yangzhou is famous for its fat powder land and the land of fish and rice, and I am afraid that there is no silver? !

"Obey the orders of the Governor!"

The two who went to deliver the message were also clever masters, and immediately took advantage of the master's words and took the order. As soon as the governor sounded, Xu Baoshan, who was born in a reckless manner, was overjoyed and happy.

"Come on, let the brothers have fun! I've been holding it for so long, be careful of suffocating my body! The governor of Bendu announced that Yangzhou would not seal the knife for three days! It's sure to keep the brothers entertained! ”

Xu Baoshan daxiao, and went happily with a group of subordinates. The master behind him moved his lips, as if he was about to say something, but as soon as he saw Xu Baoshan's smug back, he swallowed it all back into his stomach, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Lao Hu, the Second Mixed Brigade just came to report, saying that it caught a few messengers!"

Because of the sudden kiss on the deck, Yan Nuxia, who was heroic and sassy in the past and full of royal sister fan, hid directly in her cabin with shame and annoyance. This will rush in with a telegram, so that Hu Dashuai is not different. As she spoke, Sanniang handed over two telegrams with a solemn face, one from the Second Mixed Association, and the other from the Yangzhou Station of the Intelligence Bureau. Looking at Sanniang with a solemn face, Hu Dashuai, who was just about to tease Yan Nuxia again, suddenly sank in his heart. swallowed all the words that had reached his mouth back into his stomach, solemnly glanced at Sanniang, and hurriedly took two telegrams.

Hu Rui first read the telegram from the Second Mixed Brigade, which was signed by Fang Zong himself. said that he caught two Xu Baoshan and sent two messengers, followed by a series of promises and conditions issued by Xu Baoshan. At the end of the telegram, Fang Zong said that the troops were searching and advancing, waiting for the decision of the commander.

Hu Rui looked at it from beginning to end, sneered and threw it aside. Xu Baoshan and his ilk, are they also worthy of negotiating terms with him?!

This was followed by the latest information from the Yangzhou Station of the Ministry of Intelligence, which was sent in the form of an urgent telegram. Hu Rui's gaze had just met the newspaper, and a sneer on the corner of his mouth immediately froze like an ice sculpture. The telegram began with four words - hell on earth!

"Sanniang, have you seen all of these?"

Hu Rui suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes painfully with his back to Sanniang. As soon as I closed my eyes, my eyes were full of all kinds of tragic situations in Nanjing in 1937 in later textbooks! At this moment, Yangzhou is afraid that it is not much better, but the perpetrator has changed from small Japan to a domestic salt lord.

"Look, Lao Hu, I'm waiting for your order."

Sanniang nodded gently, and there were only the two of them in the cabin. Yan Sanniang, who is 1.62 meters, struggled to stand on tiptoe and put her bare hand on the shoulder of Hu Rui, who is 1.83 meters, implicitly expressing comfort.

"Xiexie you, Sanniang. I'm fine! ”

Feeling the warmth from his shoulders, Hu Dashuai stretched out his hand and gently held Sanniang's plain hand, turned around and pulled it slightly, and Yan Nuxia was pulled closer to her arms as if she was soft and boneless. This time, although Yan Nuxia's face was crimson, and she lowered her eyes in shame and annoyance, she didn't dare to look directly, but she didn't dodge. Let Hu Dashuai, who is a head taller than her, just hold her like this, and the distance between the two is almost zero. Hu Dashuai coquettishly pressed his head on Sanniang's shoulder, turned his face sideways and greedily breathed in the soft body fragrance on Sanniang's body. The hot breath exhaled from the mouth and nose, with the unique smell of the man, blew on Sanniang's pink neck, itching. Sanniang's face turned even redder, and it seemed that she could drip blood, but she still didn't dodge.

"I ...... I'm here, I'm here! It's okay, some will pass. Now everyone is waiting for your order, you are the manager, you can't hesitate. ”

Sanniang paused, blushed, hesitated for a moment but gently patted Hu Rui's broad back, and said softly.

"Pass the order, not a single one of these brutes will be left! Xu Baoshan, I want to see him alive, and when I take Yangzhou, I will shoot him in front of all the people! In addition, Fang Zong was notified that Yangzhou salt merchants led wolves into the house and took the blame for themselves. After Xu Baoshan was exterminated, he immediately arranged for people to take care of all the salt merchants, and all the property was sealed! They have to pay for their stupidity! ”

Hu Dashuai nodded lightly and lifted his head off Sanniang's shoulders. Just hugged Sanniang like this, pushed open the door of the cabin, and gave an order to the combat staff and security personnel who were guarding outside. Then, in the ambiguous eyes of everyone, Sanniang in his arms closed the hatch by himself. I continued to hold it. As for the little bird, she is like a person, and she is held in her arms...... She would have been stunned by someone's series of actions, and her brain was already in a state of death, and she hadn't buffered it yet. (To be continued......)
