11-58 Heroes

As soon as Wei Chiguang died, the backbone of the rebels was gone, and thousands of swordsmen became a plate of loose sand, and the formation was disrupted by the six swords and one rush, but the six swords were only six people after all, and it was impossible to suppress the riot in the entire Lanzhou City, and the city was still full of fires, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Due to the death of Wei Chiguang, the previous riot against the Red Shirts turned into an indiscriminate riot, the swordsmen lost control, killed people with red eyes, set fire to and robbed money, the city was full of killings, violence everywhere, the Red Shirts controlled the commanding heights and the four city gates in the city, held out, and shot all the thugs who dared to approach.

At midnight, the Red Shirts finally began to suppress the riots, and the tracked ironclad drove onto the streets of Lanzhou, unscrupulously running over everything on the stone road, and a voice came out from the loudspeaker above the ironclad car: "The imperial army has begun to clear the field and impose martial law, and all people must not stay on the streets, otherwise they will be regarded as rioters and resolutely suppressed!" ”

The ironclad car was equipped with small cannons, and when they saw someone gathering, they would smash a cannonball at it, and then the troops behind the ironclad car would be named one by one with a firearm, and anyone who ran slower would be killed on the spot.

By the time dawn, the Red Shirts had occupied all the main transportation arteries of Lanzhou City, dividing the whole city into eight small pieces, and there were only corpses on the streets except for soldiers with loaded guns, and no one dared to go out of the house, because as soon as they came out, they would be shot dead by snipers hiding in high places, and there was no reason to talk about it.

The mutiny of the railroad soldiers outside the city has also been controlled, the leading officers were hacked, their heads hung on the gate to show the public, the soldiers' weapons were confiscated, and they waited for the pickets to be screened in silence.

Originally, I thought that the matter would be over after the riot was suppressed, but the terrible thing was still to come, and the Red Shirts began to search from house to house, and all those with blood stains on their bodies and calluses on their hands were regarded as thugs and killed on the spot, so that in addition to women, children, and the elderly, and some Han Chinese, almost all adult men in Lanzhou City could not escape death.

The massacre changed the ethnic composition of the city, with the dominant Turkic Uighurs becoming a minority and the Han Chinese becoming the dominant ethnic group, and led to the silly silence of Liu Ziguang's name for hundreds of years.

In fact, Liu Ziguang knows very well in his heart, the chaos of public security in Lanzhou must be suppressed by extraordinary means, otherwise the symptoms will not be cured, and the heart of the non-ethnic group will be punished, Lanzhou City is not an ordinary city, it is a large-scale trade distribution center where the business travel culture has reached its peak, almost all the people are inextricably linked with the caravan, and Wei Chiguang's power has penetrated into every corner of the city, so this riot will come so grand, if you don't kill people this time, I'm afraid that the second and third riots will be repeated.

In any case, the Seven Swords played an indelible role in suppressing the riots, they first killed the riot leader Wei Chiguang, and then killed hundreds of swordsmen, effectively cracking down on the arrogance of the rioters, and laying a solid foundation for the next step of the imperial army's suppression of the riot, so Liu Ziguang decided to reward them well.

The riot was established, the red-shirted army rewarded the three armies, Liu Ziguang held a banquet in the marshal's mansion to personally entertain the seven swords of the Tianshan Mountains, at this time Wei Chiguang's house had been seized by the officers and soldiers, and the seven swords moved to the front yard of Liu Ziguang's marshal mansion with their luggage, and the banquet was being prepared outside, and seven people were sitting in the house talking.

"We killed so many people yesterday, most of them innocently, I don't know if it was the right thing to do?" Han Zhibang said.

"These people will always die, even if we don't kill him, the officers and soldiers will kill him, maybe it will be more neat to die under our sword, so it may not be a wrong thing, Zhibang, don't worry too much." Chu Zhaonan said lightly.

"But after all, we are accomplices, I will never forget the look in Wei Chiguang's eyes before he died, I am a little confused now, this is very different from my original intention of learning swords, is it necessary to do everything to achieve the goal?"

Han Zhibang's tone was a little excited, a little hesitant, which made Mu Lang and Xin Longzi, who were relatively young in the Seven Swords, fall into deep thought, seeing this situation, Yang Yunxi, the wisest of the Seven Swords, spoke: "Zhibang, do you know what a chivalry is?" The real chivalrous man is not the kind of warrior who you think is uneven and draws a sword to help, and is happy to distinguish between grievances and grievances, so at most he can be regarded as a martial artist with a conscience, and the real chivalrous man, with the world in his heart, is the people, in the eyes of chivalry, there is no boundary between the country and the nation, and there is no distinction between small good and small evil, they are truly enlightened people, and they are real chivalrous! ”

"Yes, Yun Xi's words are very reasonable, Master Ming once sent me a sentence, don't ask about the future, but ask for no regrets in this life, I deeply think so, Wei Chiguang's death and the failure of the uprising are inevitable, their strength is far from enough to compete with the Ming army, since they are destined to sacrifice, why not make this sacrifice meaningful, I think Yu Chiguang Quanxia knows that we have relied on his death in exchange for a greater victory, and he will definitely smile Jiuquan." Fu Qing said earnestly.

"With the death of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people in exchange for millions, tens of millions of people's peace, I think it is worth it, for the sacrifices made by these people, we must also strengthen our beliefs, do this thing, Zhibang, I know the pain in your heart, I also had the same hesitation as you at the beginning, but now I am completely relieved, death, sometimes a relief, living, in fact, is the most tired." As he spoke, Yang Yunxi set his eyes on the sky, and his thoughts returned to a year ago.

At that time, the Western Xia army went deep into Guanzhong, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, and the tyranny of Galdan raged in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, the people of all ethnic groups were not happy, and there were many complaints, Yang Yunxi received the news that his family had died in the military disaster, so he went down the mountain angrily to assassinate the Western Xia Emperor Galdan. Fu Qingzhu and Chu Zhaonan were afraid that Yang Yunxi would be difficult, so they also went down the mountain to help in the battle.

But the assassination failed, not because Yang Yunxi did not have this strength, but because at the last moment he gave up the assassination, and what Galdan said to Yang Yunxi that night is no longer available, in fact, from then on, Yang Yunxi changed from a persistent assassin to a staunch supporter, and as the soul of the Seven Swords, he had a very deep influence on others, and under his persuasion, Fu Qingzhu and Chu Zhaonan became supporters of Galdan.

After that, there was Huo Lingyun's matter, because Huo Lingyun's master Worm Immortal had already retreated in advance, so Master Obscure Ming came out instead of him, and ordered his apprentices to go down the mountain to avenge him, Yang Yunxi then led the six swords down the Tianshan Mountains and went straight to Lanzhou, but before that, he went to the Western Xia Wangcheng and agreed with Galdan on the plan to assassinate Liu Ziguang.

The relationship between Yu Chiguang and the Western Xia court is very close, and this time the rebellion will only be bold to do it with the secret support of Galdan, but Galdan knows very well that Yu Chiguang's strength is difficult to match Liu Ziguang's regular army, and the so-called riot is just a moth to a fire, anyway, Wei Chiguang's defeat is already a doomed thing, and he doesn't need his head to borrow flowers and offer Buddha, in exchange for Liu Ziguang's trust, so as to get the opportunity to stab Liu.

No one dares to underestimate Liu Ziguang, whether it is Wen Tao's martial arts strategy or personal martial arts, he is a pinnacle-like figure, not to mention the legendary family experience, let's just say that this time he defeated the 40,000 elite Xixia army with 3,000 men and horses, captured the Hui Department and received both people and money, this strength and skill made Galdan also breathtaking. Let's talk about Yang Yunyu, he knows very well that Huo Lingyun's martial arts level is not much lower than himself, and he is also a first-class person in the rivers and lakes, but at such a level, he can only be slaughtered like a helpless lamb in front of Liu Ziguang, which shows that Liu Ziguang's martial arts cultivation is very high, and I heard Huo Lingyun say that Liu Ziguang's sword in his heart is the same as no one, and he is a monster-like existence, and Yang Yunyu is not sure about dealing with such a person.

So the seven swords are here, Yang Yunxi, Chu Zhaonan and Fu Qingzhu came to assassinate Liu Ziguang with lofty ideals, while several other people came with simple hatred, if nothing else, they raped the Tianshan Snow Lotus in their minds for Liu Ziguang, but if you want to kill Liu Ziguang, you must first approach him, I heard that his army uses a powerful firearm, which is seven points faster than the hidden weapon thrown by the master, if you take the ordinary way to assassinate, I am afraid that you will be injured by a firearm within a hundred steps, so they listened to Yang Yunxi's plan, Borrowing the heads of Yu Chiguang and the swordsmen to achieve the goal of approaching Liu Ziguang, as long as it is within ten steps, if the seven swords shoot together, the assassination will have a chance of winning.

Huo Lingyun didn't speak, the veil on her face didn't even move, and she didn't participate in last night's action, because she wanted to leave all her strength to assassinate Liu Ziguang and wash away her shame, in fact, she didn't tell Master Hui Ming about being raped, just said that Liu Ziguang occupied his sister and forcibly occupied the Hui Department, etc., Master Hao Ming had already seen the clues from her speech and demeanor and the way she walked, but she didn't break it, and only sent Gao disciples to help her take revenge. As for Yu Chiguang's death and the massacre in the city, Huo Lingyun didn't care, she just wanted to kill Liu Ziguang.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Qijian stopped the conversation and sat upright, it was Liu Ziguang's chief guard Dai Wenlong, the young man was also from the martial arts, so he naturally had heard of a hero like Qijian, and he said respectfully: "Seven heroes, we are invited." ”
