All (Part 1)

Tongzhou City exploded early in the morning because of the loud noise. Many people walked out of their homes one after another, and were then violently driven back home by the red-coated soldiers. This time they were not as polite as last time, and they all held back a feeling of anger.

Fire, I want to find a place to vent!

Although the Red Army recruited many local people in Tongzhou City, most of these people were refugees without permanent property and could not be considered as people here at all. In the past, they had also suffered from the contempt of these local people in Tongzhou, so for these people

Not much sympathy either.

Under such circumstances, there is still an extremely prosperous street in Tongzhou City that has not been affected by the Red Army. This street is close to the canal. It not only has brothels and bars, but also wine shops and workshops. No matter day or night,

Everything here is brightly lit.

Green-skinned hooligans and official bullies almost did not dare to appear on this street. Of course, they came here to spend money, and they were still welcome here. At this time, the red-coated army dragged a cannon and carried a three-eyed blunderbuss. They came at the street entrance.

They encountered resistance, and what was even more outrageous was that two red-coated cannons were placed at the street entrance, so that the red-coated soldiers did not dare to move and just stood in confrontation.

But the people on this street, faced with the confrontation that smelled thick of gunpowder smoke, did not have the slightest worry, and continued to drink, have fun, talk and laugh.

In a noble wine shop, the lobby is full of people eating quietly. Even when these people are talking and communicating, their voices are still very low, making them appear orderly and not noisy.

There is an empty table in the corner, which was specially reserved by the shopkeeper for a guest. Although the person drinking here is not a wealthy person, he is still famous and can be called a master. Now

Although these gentlemen were seated in a crowded place, none of them thought of occupying the vacant table.

"Look! There's no one at Mr. You Da's table. It's probably true. I heard that Mr. You Da's house was surrounded by the thieves leaders of the Red Army. There were dozens of cannons at the entrance of the garden! What do you think of the Red Army?

Where did it come from! How dare you be so presumptuous."

"The others are lucky if they didn't massacre the city. At least they were polite after they came in after blowing up the city."

"That man is also cunning. The red-coated troops in the city have completely withdrawn. I thought he would leave after a night's rest. Who would have thought that he killed another carbine and the city wall that was repaired overnight became a decoration. He attacked in the east and in the west. How clever.

!”

"There is no talk of attacking in the east or west. It has been too long since we have fought a war and our war preparations are lax. After the red-clothed thieves withdrew from the city, they did not carefully check what they left behind. They all went to the Youjia to eat and have fun."

"After dinner, let's go to Youjia together! Let's see what kind of person the leader of the thief in red is."

"Go together! Go together!"

Many people immediately shouted, and the noise suddenly broke out in the quiet wine shop. However, after the shopkeeper came out to say hello, everyone quickly shut up and did not dare to say more. The Caogang people in Tongzhou City are the most difficult.

Hell, even the red-clothed thief with a cannon dared to block the street. It's so ordinary.

If the terror of the scholar-bureaucrats lies in the fact that they have the privilege to be in charge of the court, then the terror of the Cao Gang lies in the water transportation. Various forces are deeply rooted and complicated, and those with powerful forces dare to directly confront the court.

While the imperial court was able to extinguish and suppress the White Lotus Sect, it had nothing to do with the Cao Gang. Not only because the Cao Gang was powerful and lawful, but also because the Cao Gang could not replace it. Because the capital was in the north and it needed a canal, of course it needed a canal.

After the extremely vicious Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they even legalized the Cao Gang during the Yongzheng period. During the Qianlong period, there were even legends that Qianlong joined the gang. From this, you can imagine the influence of the Cao Gang on both sides of the canal at that time.

At this time, the people in the Cao Gang were also discussing how to face this scene next, and continued to confront the Red Army until the Red Army completely controlled the entire city, and then freed up manpower to completely destroy this street in Tongzhou City.

Either they will be beaten to a pulp, or they will immediately surrender to the thief in red.

But if that happens, the Cao Gang here in Tongzhou City will suffer disaster. The imperial court will have free hands and an excuse to deal with them. It will squeeze huge amounts of gold and silver from the entire Cao Gang, and the composition of the Cao Gang is mostly proletarian.

There are mainly young and strong male boat workers, and there are also some poor lower-class scholars. If they are exploited by the imperial court, life will be even more difficult for most people in Caobang.

On one side was the invitation from You Mingze, who represented the imperial court, and on the other were the thieves who were against the imperial court. At this time, the three hall masters in Tongzhou City had to make careful plans for them and their subordinates.

At this time, what Zhu Gan was very willing to do was to raze Youfu, not only to vent his anger, but also to make up his mind to completely destroy the old and establish the new, and suppress all these old and stubborn interest groups.

Looking at the flames spouting from the cannon's muzzle, he felt very happy. It was up to the officials in this city to deal with the wandering Mingze.

"It seems that he doesn't plan to attack by force." Listening to the sound of cannons so close to his ears, and the frightened servants who kept crying for mercy, the housekeeper looked sad and just held on to the Yan Fei Dao.

The handle of the knife weighed more than a thousand pounds to him at this moment.

He screamed and rushed out. He couldn't even lift the Yanling knife, but he rushed out of Youfu safely, shouting loudly: "The traitor will accept his life!"

Boom! What a coincidence. As soon as he finished shouting the words, he was smashed into pieces by a solid iron ball. The flesh and blood stained the glorious front of Youjia, making it ferocious and dazzling.

Although he is greedy for ink, he has done everything right, but there have been some unacceptable forays in his life. This is a person who can persevere from beginning to end.

After the bombardment, the tall courtyard wall had been completely destroyed. There were still some deaf servants left behind the wall, but they were completely frightened and many of them were confused.

Zhu Gan looked at the ruins of Youjia, but there was no trace of pity in his heart. He said coldly: "Kill them all, no one will be spared."

The person who ordered the order was shocked. These servants had no ability to resist, but Zhu Qian did not allow them to hesitate. He held a flint gun in one hand and a Yanling knife in the other. He rushed into Youjia first, followed by his own soldiers.

Looking at the servant in blue who was kneeling in front of him, Zhu Qian almost didn't hesitate, slashed with his sword, and without looking at him again, he quickly led the people into You's house. The red-clothed army quickly occupied the entire You's house.

They found You Mingze in the basement who was so frightened that he was incontinent.

Looking at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the basement, as well as the various account books and land deeds covered with a thick layer of dust, Zhu Qian felt so excited! Killing fat pigs to attract big households is indeed the best way to get rich.

With so much money, he can recruit many more soldiers.

Picking up an account book and flipping through it, Zhu Qian immediately lost interest in the troublesome and complicated accounts in the account book. He threw it aside and said to his subordinates: "Keep an eye on Mr. You.

He is our God of Wealth now, so we can’t be careless at all, you know?”

You Mingze was pulled out of the basement due to incontinence. Zhu Gan just took a look at him and was disgusted by him. As a man who bleeds but doesn't shed tears, he was so scared that his feces and urine flowed out. How could he compare to his housekeeper?

Wow, it's so disgusting that I couldn't be more disgusted.

No wonder when the Qing soldiers entered the country and carried out massacres in the south, one Qing soldier could detain more than sixty people and kill them one by one, but no one dared to resist. This is what the scholars who are the backbone of the nation are like this.

, how can we expect that the efforts of one or two people can save this nation and this country.

Therefore, for such people, instead of staying to harm the people, it is better to use their heads to warn the people.

"We encountered resistance, and our people suffered heavy casualties!" Suddenly a man ran in and said in a panic before he could even breathe.

There was no change in the expression on Zhu Gan's face. What was supposed to come would eventually come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly! He walked out and said as he walked: "Where are you and why are you meeting resistance."

"Beside the canal, that street is very busy! We found out that those officials had a drink here last night and went there to have fun again. Our people don't know what happened. From here

We went in to arrest the officials in Tongzhou City, but the confrontation there couldn't be controlled, so they opened fire, and there were red cannons on that street!" The soldiers who were familiar with the situation immediately led the way and arrested the person who reported the news.

and leave.

Zhu Gan listened to the faint sound of artillery in the city, calmed himself down, and asked without any emotion: "Now! What is the situation?"

"They are all new soldiers. When those people charged with muskets, our people were defeated."

Zhu Gan was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses. He was frightened for a while, but he was also full of joy. He knew that he was building a house in the sand and the foundation would not be stable, but he did not expect that it would be so fragile.

Attack, the army can only truly become an army after passing the test of blood and fire. It is true.

Fortunately, this problem will break out sooner or later. Now that it has broken out, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. It allows Zhu Gan to start cleaning up the situation and train his troops with those who defeated him.

Zhu Gan led a large group of troops and quickly rushed towards the mouth of the Caobang. This time, Zhu Gan led the troops lightly and could not make any mistakes. He looked at the red cannons set up at the street entrance and kept firing.

The firecrackers were scattered and unorganized, but looking at the soldiers under his command, they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.

The men Zhu Gan brought out from Zhuozhou City were shouting at the side, but no matter how they shouted, his soldiers would not move and hid behind the wall and shivered.

"I once told you the simplest rules. You are soldiers. There are three major killings: those who disobey military orders will be killed, those who bully the weak will be killed, and those who shrink from battle will be killed. Now they have violated two rules. They should be killed! They should be killed! They will be killed.
