It is said that the residence of the governor-general of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty experienced many changes. In the early days, it was in Zhaoqing, and then moved to Wuzhou. It was not until the eleventh year of Qianlong that it moved to Guangzhou.
However, at that time, the layout of various government offices in the old city of Guangzhou had been established, and they were basically scattered around the Guangdong Governor's Office. Since there was no room in the old city, the Supervisory Office was set up on Maima Street in the new city to the south. Two streets further east from the Governor's Yamen is the location of the Guangdong Customs Yamen.
The purpose of saying so much is to show that Sun Shiyi underestimated the enemy. When he first dispatched troops, he should have transferred them to the governor's office in the city. At least the south of Huai'ai West Street in the city was where the Manchu and Han Eight Banners soldiers in Guangzhou were stationed. If he really went, Zhao Xin would have no choice but to scratch the wall under the city.
But the problem is that although Sun Shiyi knows that Beihai Town's big white ships are powerful and he knows that Beihai Town's cannons are powerful, he doesn't know the power of Beihai Town's muskets. As a result, more than 30 people fought and nearly a thousand people from Green Camp fled in panic. Only 11 people dared to enter the Supervisory Office.
It only took ten minutes for Zhao Xin and his team to climb up the stone steps and rush into the gate, pass through the corridor, the ceremonial gate, the main hall, and go straight to the signing room at the third entrance. At this time, he was extremely grateful for his five-kilometer run during the "officer short-term training course". The pursuit from Thirteenth Line to the Governor's Yamen was almost four or five miles away. Although Zhao Xin was sweating profusely from running, his breathing rhythm was still very steady and he did not feel tired at all.
There are only a hundred and ten guards in the Governor's Yamen. Except for those who stand on the roof at night and use bows and arrows to stop attacks, most of the other guards and guards on the ground use swords and guns, and are not equipped with even shotguns. .
Just kidding, how could someone be allowed to use muskets in the governor's office of Guangdong and Guangxi? Who's responsible for accidental injuries?
Zhao Xin's gun is equipped with an infrared night vision scope, so it is not easy to hit rooftop targets. People on the roof have to stand upright when shooting arrows, so anyone who takes the lead becomes Zhao Xin's ghost behind the gun.
After the eleven men cleared away the soldiers near the main hall, they were still divided into two groups. Zhao Xin led five people straight to Sanjin's signing room, while the other five people went to Governor's Office East Road. Unexpectedly, they unexpectedly blocked a group of bureaucrats from the governor of Guangdong down in the flower hall.
All the officials in the house were stunned when they heard the loud warning coming from the yard and did not react at all. It has been more than a hundred years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and there has never been such a group of bandits who can attack the Governor's Yamen with dozens of people.
While all the bureaucrats were still stunned, they saw two men wearing black vests and green helmets rushing in carrying two strange weapons.
Tusab, who was sitting in the first place, was shocked when he heard someone shouting: "Protect your lords!"
As the words came out, several guards, Gesheha, drew their swords and rushed over, ready to fight.
"Da da da!"
After a violent blast, the flower hall finally exploded!
As soon as the quick-eyed man heard the gunshot, he immediately slipped out of the chair, rolled over, and lay on the ground aimlessly looking for a hiding place; while the straight-faced man was trembling with anger and pointed at the two Beihai Town men. The soldiers wanted to curse, but the bloody scene in front of them made their mouths twitch in shock and they were speechless.
For example, the chief envoy Xu Fantai, who was Jieyuan in the 33rd year of Qianlong's reign, Jinshi in the 34th year of the Qianlong reign, and a scholarly official who had served as chief examiner, could not help but sneer at the black hole in front of him. His trembling feet betrayed him. He was too frightened to walk.
As the governor, Tusab was once the head of the Ministry of War and suppressed the Su Shisan uprising. He had experienced battles. He immediately fell to the ground when he heard the sound of gunfire, and his mind was in a mess. He kept shouting: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
At the same time, three other Beihai Town soldiers also rushed in. They held their guns and shouted: "Don't move! Lie on the ground and hold your head with your hands!"
On the other side, Sun Shiyi and others in the custody room looked at the soldier who fell on the threshold and was shot dead. Their faces turned livid and their whole bodies were shaking uncontrollably. They didn't know whether they were angry or afraid.
Among the people in the room, an eight-foot-tall man quickly poked his head twice before walking in. This man wore a helmet and strange clothes. He had bulging bags all over his body and no one knew what they contained, and his face was covered with a dark silk scarf.
"Who is Governor Sun?" Zhao Xin curiously glanced at the five people in the room, and finally laid his eyes on the thin old man who was motionless behind the desk.
"Are you Sun Shiyi?"
Under the bright candlelight, the thin Sun Shiyi had a gray beard. He is already sixty-six years old this year, but for a ministerial-level feudal official, he is still in his prime.
At this time, Sun Shiyi only felt numbness in his legs and feet and could not stand up at all. So he rushed north and cupped his hands and said: "I am the governor of Guangdong, Guangxi and other places, in charge of military affairs, food and salary, and governor affairs..."
"Okay, just tell me if you are okay, no need to give your official name!"
Looking at the tall man in front of him, Sun Shiyi suddenly felt something in his heart. Then he opened his eyes wide and glared at him angrily: "Are you Zhao Xin?"
"Sun Zhitai, if you have anything to say, go to White Bear Bank and talk about it. Don't worry, I won't kill you." Zhao Xinxin said, weren't you beheading people outside White Bear Bank to threaten the demonstration? I'll make you feel so disgusted when I look back!
However, there are only eleven people in Zhao Xin's group at the moment. Once the Eight Banners garrison in the city reacts, no one except himself will be able to escape. So he directly ordered his two men: "Tie them all up, tie them into a string with ropes, and take them away immediately!"
At this time, a staff member in the room raised his halberd finger and said sternly: "How dare you, thief! Ouch!"
What answered him was the butt of a gun in the hand of a soldier. He immediately slapped the aide and threw him to the ground, rubbing his stomach and gasping for air. The other two soldiers knocked the man to the ground without any explanation, cut his hands behind his back, and cuffed the staff member with plastic handcuffs.
"Brother Ma!"
As soon as the other three staff members shouted, Zhao Xin's black gun muzzle came towards them. The three of them were trembling with fear and their faces turned pale.
Sun Shiyi slapped the table angrily, and was about to yell to show his integrity, when he heard a "bang!" and a bullet hole was punched in the white wall behind him, and the echo of the gunshot made the ears of several people in the room ring. ring.
One of Zhao Xin's men was pointing a rifle at Sun Shiyi, and a burst of green smoke appeared from the muzzle.
"Be honest!"
Sun Shiyi said angrily: "What do you want?!"
Zhao Xin said calmly: "Nothing, please go to White Bear House to have a tea party. Tie him up!"
"Zhao Ni, you will not die well! You guys, let go of me!"
As the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Sun Shiyi, who is known for his integrity, actually wanted to die. The problem was that the soldiers in Beihai Town moved very quickly. He was still wondering whether he would die faster by hitting a pillar or by directly resisting. Cut and copied.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie on Zhao Xin: "Sir, we caught a big fish, there are a room full of officials here! Over."
Zhao Xin said in a deep voice: "Tie them all up and take them back to the store! Anyone who dares to resist will be shot directly! Over."
Sun Shiyi and others watched in astonishment as Zhao Xin held a black box on his chest and issued orders loudly, and they were all horrified.
Didn't anyone in the flower hall escape? ! Moreover, Zhao Ni was able to talk to him from such a distance. Needless to say, he must have used witchcraft. Maybe even this Zhao Xin was transformed by evil spirits!
In the darkness outside the gate of the Supervisory Office, countless pairs of eyes were watching the movement of the gate. Ever since the first gunshot was heard from inside, the soldiers who had originally tried to go in to protect Shangguan were frightened and retreated.
After about a meal, a group of people walked out of the gate of the superintendent's office. In addition to a dozen soldiers in black armed with "muskets", there were also a group of dejected guys.
By the light of the lantern at the door, the Green Camp soldiers hiding in the darkness were surprised to find that these people tied in a string seemed to be officials from Guangzhou City.
Seeing the usually arrogant first- and second-grade officials, who were high in the temple, having their hands cut behind their backs and being pushed and pushed by the black-clad soldiers, several Green Camp soldiers suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of relief.
Although there were more than twenty prisoners in this group, there were actually only five important officials in it: Sun Shiyi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangdong, Tusab, the governor of Guangdong, Fo Ning, the supervisor of the Guangdong Customs, Yao Fen, the inspector-general of Guangdong, and Xu Zujing, the chief envoy of Guangdong. .
Although the hiding Green Camp soldiers did not know the senior officials, the problem was that they could understand the official uniforms!
My mother! It turns out that old men also have today!
Just as a group of people walked down the steps at the door, Guangdong Inspector Yao Fen took advantage of the escorting soldiers' inattention and scurried forward to hit the stone railing on the right.
But Mr. Yao forgot that they were all tied together by ropes. So he rushed forward, causing several people in front and behind him to stumble at the same time. He himself was also dragged by the rope, and when his head was still a few centimeters away from the white marble railing post, he could no longer move.
"Hey~~ Want to commit suicide?" Zhao Xin heard the noise behind him and turned around to see a group of officials lying on the ground in a mess.
"Rebel! You must die a good death! Even if I am a ghost, I, Yao Tiesong, will not let you go!" A furious Yao Fen yelled.
Zhao Xin ignored Yao Fen, and with a thought in his heart, he said to the captive in front of him: "If any of you are dishonest again, I will cut off his braid and throw him into the smelly ditch!"
As soon as these words came out, Yao Fen, who was still cursing, suddenly became stupid.
It has been more than a hundred years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Scholars all over the world have long been accustomed to shaving their hair and leaving braids, and regard the barbarian customs as the ancestral law. The hair they cut off in daily life is either burned to their ancestors, or kept and put into the coffin together.
It would be unimaginable if there were no pigtails. If you die, you won’t even be able to enter the ancestral hall!
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier threw out the bayonet on his rifle and walked towards Yao Fen. The gleaming bayonet frightened Yao Fen. He thought about the principle that a good man should not suffer the consequences before him, so he shouted: "I'm leaving! I'm leaving!"
Zhao Xin looked at the dark street in front of him, suddenly took out his pistol, fired three shots into the air, and said loudly: "Listen! You Sun Zitai are my prisoners now! If you are not afraid of death, come here and hurt these officials. Let me see if you still want your head!"
The surroundings were quiet, and occasionally there were a few rustling sounds, but no one showed up at all.
Sun Shiyi and other officials looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but sigh.
At Thirteenth Street outside the city, Liu Zheng was squatting on the roof of the third floor of Baixiong Street, with a walkie-talkie in his waist, a gun in one hand, and an infrared telescope in the other hand, looking at the city of Guangzhou not far away.
At this time, the entire west and south of Guangzhou City had been alerted by gunfire. Whether inside or outside the city, the rapid sound of gongs echoed in the night sky. There were many more people on the tall city wall in the northeast, either holding lanterns or holding torches.
The nearby fire on Tong Van Street has not yet been extinguished, and more than a dozen ordinary people are busy splashing water with buckets.
The surrounding streets and alleys were already brightly lit, and many local residents holding kitchen knives and forks gradually gathered at the entrance of the alley. These people all thought that there were bandits outside the city, so they sent people to report to the city.
In the midst of the dazzling chaos, the walkie-talkie on Liu Zheng's waist rang: "Liu Zheng! Do you hear that? It's over."
After Zhao Xin repeated it, Liu Zheng hurriedly put down the telescope, took out his walkie-talkie and said, "I'm here!"
"Send five more people to the office to pick me up! The Qing soldiers have gone crazy! Over."
Liu Zheng was about to speak again when he heard a series of gunshots like exploding beans again from the direction of the office to the north, and then the miserable howls of those who were shot echoed in the streets. He took a few steps to the entrance of the ladder, stepped off the ladder, held on to the stair railing and shouted to the people below: "Five people are going, the office needs support!"
Zhao Xin never expected that when he entered the city and arrested people, he went smoothly, but when he came back, trouble came!
The group of them walked out of the gas gate and first met up with the five soldiers on guard at the door. They thought everything was going well, but when they reached the first alley entrance, a group of Qing soldiers suddenly came out from inside.
These guys didn't light torches either. First they fired shotguns at random, and then the leading guys either held steel knives and shields, or carried door panels. Behind them were several guys holding spears, ready to rush up and stab each other. .
When his side started to fight back, and the guys holding the shields and door panels were knocked to the ground, those people yelled "The thieves are powerful with guns! Run quickly!" and so on, and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye. .
Fortunately, the prisoners like Sun Shiyi were all tied together with ropes, and they were surrounded by Zhao Xin and others during the firefight, otherwise they would have been snatched away.
The same was true for the two alleys they passed after. After several chaotic fights, Zhao Xin and the others were extremely nervous. Everyone in this congregation didn't care about accidentally injuring civilians. Regardless of whether it was on the wall or on the roof, as long as there was a suspected figure emerging, they would raise their hand and shoot.
When they finally escorted these people to the gate near the office, another group of Qing troops came out of the alleys on both sides. After a chaotic battle, casualties finally appeared in Beihai Town.
A soldier who had no time to load his bullet was stabbed in the abdomen with an iron spear while fighting hand-to-hand with a bayonet. He was about to die. In the chaos, the soldier's rifle was also snatched away, but Zhao Xin couldn't care less about it now.
