400,000 pieces of silver piled together form a small mountain. The light of the silver is enough to make anyone lose their mind. Even a loser like Ma Bao, a smoker and an actor from the Eight Banners, cannot resist the temptation brought to him by so much money.
On the ground in Tanggu, there are two high-ranking officials, one civil and one military. The highest military officer is Xietai, which is the position of deputy general, while the largest civilian official is Tongzhi, which is the deputy to the prefect. Xie Tai Ma Bao and his colleague Zhou Mingkui were the highest administrative officials in Tanggu appointed by the Qing Dynasty.
Ma Bao felt that he was so lucky today. He arrived at Lotte Bank before Zhou Tongzhi, and he also encountered a gift package of 400,000 silver dollars. Originally, he thought that there were 100,000 or 200,000 silver dollars here, but he didn't expect there to be so much.
Under their conspiracy with Huang Juren, the top priority was to use the civil uprising to force Xiao Letian away, and to rob Lotte Foreign Company before the mob arrived. This was Ma Bao's private plan. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Although Ren gave him 10,000 silver and two actors, it was far from enough for Ma Bao, who had unfulfilled desires. Didn’t everyone say that the second devil was possessed by the God of Wealth and was carrying a treasure tray on his back? Then give me some money. When the soldiers pass by, they will first take away all the money in your store, and then pass the blame on to the mob. Is there anything so exciting in the world?
Ma Bao felt excited just thinking about it, and he didn't sleep for half the night last night. All the waiting was worth it. When the number 400,000 entered his ears, it was as if a little devil had taken control of his mind. Ma Xietai let out a strange scream and ordered to rob him on the spot.
Three hundred green soldiers surrounded them from the north and south. At this time, there were no people watching the excitement on the street. Even those mourning and making troubles got into the storefronts on both sides to avoid this terrible conflict.
The charge of three hundred men was indeed earth-shattering. The swinging spear tips flashed on the street like a jungle, and the waving steel knives flying up and down were much more exciting than what was performed on the stage. At that moment, Ma Bao felt that he was already possessed by the God of War. Even if Guan Erye passed five levels and killed six generals, his majesty would only be that much.
Beautiful, Ma Bao feels so beautiful! He was even imagining that he would return to Sijiu City and sit in teahouses and brothels with young men to brag. Those Eight Banner disciples who had looked down on him since childhood, I would slap him in the face again and again. , I want you to know that knowing is called ability.
"Everyone listen to the order, the musketeers shoot to the north, defend South Street..." Just when Ma Bao was dreaming, Xiao Letian suddenly heard a powerful roar from Lotte Foreign Trade. At that moment, not only Ma Bao and the merchants Everyone was stunned, and even the mysterious guest upstairs at Lotte Mathematics was shocked. Update as soon as possible
He only heard a bang on the second floor, which was the sound of a tea bowl rolling to the ground. "This is so brave! How dare you shoot..." Unfortunately, he hadn't finished his emotion yet. He only heard the collective shouting of hundreds of people downstairs. "Kill..." The earthquake shook the entire foreign bank and even the bowls and shelves fell over.
Luo Huo was now the captain of the musketeers under Xiao Letian. He waved a riding crop in his hand and said, "Ready for three consecutive shots..." Under his command, thirty musketeers rushed onto the long street with expressionless faces. Soon a simple three-shot battle formation was formed.
When the shield wall blocking the road dispersed, Luo Hu yelled with murderous intent, "Listen to my command...the first row shoots..." There was only a muffled sound of thunder, and the entire street was covered in white smoke. Everyone At that moment, everyone was suffocated. Even the foreigners on the ship in the port were dumbfounded and let the telescope roll off the deck without knowing how to pick it up.
"Oh my God! The Qing people are in a civil war. They are starting a civil war... All the sailors immediately defended themselves and the whole ship entered a defensive state..."
Luo Huo is the most loyal soldier under Xiao Letian. When he was beaten in Yixian County, he had already sworn that he would work with his master for the rest of his life. Although he did not understand Western learning, he was a musketeer trained by Mr. Xiao himself. I am Mr. Xiao’s disciple.
At Shalangao in the Taihang Mountains, Luo Huo's musketeers once repelled Shi Dakai's elite bandits. Please come to more and faster chapters. In the rolling mountains of Yanqing in the west of Beijing, the Musketeers once defeated the proud apprentice soldiers of the Xiang family. And now, this group of killing gods, whose courage has been tempered by seeing blood, finally aims their guns at the Qing Dynasty. Although they are only deputy generals, as long as this shot is fired, Xiao Letian's power will be destroyed. But he will never be able to stick to the Qing Dynasty.
"No..." The mysterious guest on the second floor screamed strangely, but the sound behind him was completely drowned out by the gunfire. Three rows of muskets, under the command of Luo Huo, were firing like a torrential rain. Iron sand was flying all over the sky and shooting on the long street. Even the troublemakers wearing mourning who were hiding in the shops were swept away.
The sound of the gunshot woke up Ma Bao from his dream like a muffled thunder. This Eight Banners dude who only knew how to bully the weak got under the horse's belly at that time. His brain had lost the ability to think, and his eyes were filled with gunpowder and white smoke. It's gone blank. Please come to more and faster chapters.
how so? How can this be? Can all businessmen rebel? They want to kill me, they want to kill officials and rebel! Ma Baoxiang was going crazy and wanted to rush his horse back to escape, but when he looked closely, he didn't know when or how, he sat down and his horse died!
The huge horse corpse pressed against his left leg, and the severe pain stimulated his nerves. He didn't know whether it was broken or the bone was cracked, but he couldn't move at all.
"Save me, why are you standing there in a daze? Hurry up and save me..." Ma Bao himself couldn't figure out why his voice changed, but no one cared about his life or death at this time, because all the soldiers were also stunned. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"On the second row, load the ammunition in the first row... put it down!"
"On the third row, load ammunition in the second row... put it down!"
"The first row comes up, the third row moves back to charge... release it!"
Luo Huo now has a bit of a commander's bearing. During the whole musket shooting, he didn't use the musket on his back at all. He just used the whip in his hand to direct the three teams of musketeers to shoot in turn. As long as anyone is in any panic, he will go up and whip him. He learned this from Xiao Letian.
When the first round of gunshots rang out, the green battalion soldiers charging at the front seemed to have been hit by an invisible door panel. The charge was frightened and dispersed by a huge force. Seven or eight soldiers who were screaming strangely were even beaten. The iron sand made him spin around three times before falling down. Update as soon as possible
After the second round of shooting, ten more soldiers immediately fell to the ground as if they were struck by lightning, and the smell of blood could already be seen in the thick smoke.
After the third round of shooting, there was no sound of killing or charging from the north and south ends of the long street. All the soldiers were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that a stinky businessman actually owned a private army and a musketry team. The key thing is that this stinky businessman really dared to open fire!
At this time, no one could sit still in Lotte Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. All the businessmen huddled together and stared at Xiao Letian, who was directing the battle, as if they were looking at devils. After each round of gunshots, the crowd screamed in fear. Sound, this day they will never forget for the rest of their lives.
"Run quickly..." After three rounds of shooting, the Green Camp soldiers finally woke up. The greedy look in their eyes was finally replaced by fear. When they found out that 400,000 silver dollars had to be exchanged for their lives, they For a moment, he chose to escape.
The soldiers lifted up the horse carcass, set up the horse treasure and fled back. Everyone quickly escaped from the range of the muskets at twice the speed when they first charged. It was as fast as the ebb of the sea, so fast that people could not imagine their own eyes.
"We can't retreat, no one can retreat! If this matter comes to the court, I will lose my head. You can't retreat..." Ma Bao limped and jumped on the street.
"Lord Xie Tai, please mobilize the cavalry. Don't we still have more than 200 cavalry in the camp? With just one charge, this group of musketeers will be finished soon..."
"Sir, please mobilize the shotgun battalion to come up, block off the long street and shoot with them. We will win with more people..."
Ma Bao also became more awake at this time. He knew that if he became a deserter and the court knew about it, he would never be spared. He couldn't even deal with the private soldiers of more than a hundred businessmen. What use would the emperor have for him? What's even more frightening is that once things get serious and foreigners come ashore with guns and get involved, it will be a big deal.
"Mobilize troops, mobilize troops immediately. All the musketeers in the camp are mobilized. I don't believe that I can't kill these stinky businessmen with 300 guns..." Ma Bao and the others were out of the range of the muskets and now began to demolish the stores on both sides. Tables, chairs, benches, bricks and tiles were piled all over the long street, and a small temporary defensive position was built.
At this time, Tongzhi Zhou Mingkui finally arrived. He had a lot of government officials in his hands. He rushed over and asked, "What happened? Why did the foreign gun go off? What on earth is going on in Ma Xietai..."
"Don't ask. Damn, Xiao Letian is a shitty scholar, and he still writes a damn book. This is a murderous bandit... He actually owns musketeers. This devil is going to rebel... I am unlucky!" Ma Bao scolded and oops at the same time.
After all, Zhou Mingkui was a civil servant, and his brain was much brighter than Ma Bao. He analyzed it a little, "Brother Ma, don't look at the problem like this. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us! Xiao Letian only has more than a hundred numbers in his hands." Human? We wiped him out. This was a great contribution to suppressing the rebellion, and he was also the main cause of this civil uprising. How could the court not reward us when the time comes?"
As soon as Ma Bao heard this, his mind went around, and he slapped his thigh fiercely, "Ouch...it hurts!" He pointed at the messenger and said, "Go and mobilize the troops. Bring all our brothers up to me. I will give you a big reward!" "
Zhou Mingkui also stood up, "I will immediately send the government officials to encourage the people to attack the foreign companies. I don't believe how many people they can kill with their dozens of muskets. We will drown them with human lives..."
From this moment on, the storm stirred up by Ren and Xiaobiansun began to move towards the government. Two senior officials, one civil and one military, from the Tanggu district officially took over the baton, and the chaos began to transform into a major riot.
Although there is only one word difference between chaos and riot, the smell of blood contained in them is a hundred times a thousand times different. But in the eyes of officials, it is not a big deal to kill some untouchables.
