Chapter 196 Bloodbath Xuwen County

When Zhou Yu led his men to Xuwen County, he happened to encounter a sugar farmer besieging the county government.

It turned out that after Ma Jiyuan wrote the letter to Zhu Hongsan, he rushed to Xuwen County. Ma Jiyuan knew that Zhu Hongsan was a murderer without blinking, and when Zhu Hongsan's army arrived, he would definitely kill blood.

So for the sake of the people, Ma Jiyuan can see if he can solve this problem independently.

But Wang Youdao and the others were arrogant. After knowing that Ma Jiyuan came to Xuwen, they forced Ma Jiyuan to agree to stop production of the sugar factory. Such a major event was decided by Ma Jiyuan, so they were stalemate with Wang Youdao and the others.

In the past few days, Wang Youdao also wanted to force Ma Jiyuan to resolve the matter early. It happened that Guangdong governor Sun Chao asked Lord Sun's writing to Xuwen County, so Wang Youdao brought people to negotiate with Ma Jiyuan.

Wang Youdaoman thought that there was a document from the prefect's immediate superior, and this Prefect Ma could surrender obediently. Unexpectedly, Ma Jiyuan had a relieved expression, which made Wang Youdao feel very bad.

Ma Jiyuan didn't take Sun Chaorang's writing seriously at all. Not to mention that Feng Ruoshu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, could not take his fourth-rank prefect as a governor. What the governor could do was to write to the Ministry of Personnel in Nanzhili, and let the Ministry of Personnel transfer him from the following text.

Ma Jiyuan originally wanted to save these sugar merchants, but they were all citizens of the Ming Dynasty. Ma Jiyuan had received a letter from Zhu Hongsan and knew that the King of Chu had mobilized the Qiongzhou garrison troops to reinforce. However, seeing that Wang Youdao was still resolute, Ma Jiyuan also made up his mind. Since Wang Youdao was looking for death in front of him, Ma Jiyuan would not care.

So Ma Jiyuan refused to object to Wang Youdao's threat, which made Wang Youdao very depressed. Of course, he didn't dare to treat Ma Jiyuan in the county government.

You should know that Ma Jiyuan is different from the unlucky County Magistrate Xue. Ma Jiyuan is already a senior official. If he dies, it will be as simple as a seventh-rank magistrate.

So Wang You said that after leaving the county government office, he ordered his subordinates to besiege the county government office, and forced Ma Jiyuan to submit.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu came at this time. As soon as Zhou Yu brought his men to Xuwen County, he saw many people on the street at the gate of the city. Zhou Yu had already received the order from Zhu Hongsan, and this time he came to Xuwen to kill people to establish his authority.

So at the gate of the city, Zhou Yu ordered the three artillery he brought. This time he rushed forward, and all the artillery soldiers did not bring them in Qiongzhou, but only brought three artillery pieces.

But that was enough. Zhou Yu ordered all the shotguns to be installed and fired behind the sugar farmer.

After the cannon was replaced with new gunpowder, the range of shotguns had reached 600 meters. Now it is only 300 meters away from these sugar farmers, and each lead bullet can penetrate three or four human bodies.

After Zhou Yu ordered the fire to open, the sugar farmers were knocked down in front of the lead bullets as big as a longan, like cutting leeks. More than 100 people were killed in the first volley. Countless injured people, many of whom had broken hands and legs lying all over the ground, screaming for a moment.

At the beginning, the crowd of troubled people in front of the county government was stunned by the loud noise from behind. No one expected it to be the sound of artillery, because no one expected that the government could be so cruel.

After the second artillery volley, everyone heard the sound of artillery, and someone behind him shouted that the army was coming. For a moment, the crowd was in chaos and fled in scattered.

Wang Youdao had just left the county government at this time, and he was also stunned. But after seeing the dead bodies behind him who were beaten into two sections by lead bullets, he was so scared that he peed in his pants. He had seen dead people before, and he had been on Baisha Island for a while when he was young. However, the tragic killing of hot weapons is not comparable to cold weapons.

Seeing the rows of people behind were broken by lead bullets, Wang Youdao knew that the prefect had a strange smile on his face just now. It turned out that he was prepared. But where did these official troops come from?

Hai'an Institute had already obtained his own money and said he would not get involved. Could it be that he came from Guangzhou? Wang Youdao suddenly felt that he had done something wrong.

If you are wrong, think about it again. Now the most important thing is to escape. Wang Youdao bowed and escaped from the county town with the escaped crowd. He fled back to Wangjiazhuang.

Ma Jiyuan and Tang Qiu in the county government office saw Wang Youdao go out. Tang Qiu was about to speak when he heard a loud noise outside. Tang Qiu said, "The weather is very good today, why did it thunder?"

Ma Jiyuan had heard the sound of cannons and knew that it was the sound of cannon shooting. He knew that reinforcements had arrived, so he hurried out.

When Ma Jiyuan and Tang Qiu went out, they saw dead bodies all over the ground, and their deaths were extremely miserable. The ground was covered with various internal organs, and the injured were rolling all over the ground. Ma Jiyuan saw a man with half a body lying on the ground holding his intestines and screaming. There was another person beside him crying with half his head in his arms. It must be that his relative was beaten to death.

Ma Jiyuan had experienced the bloody battle in Xinyang and the cruelty of the war. He was still able to adapt. However, the Tang Da County Magistrate next to him had seen this, so he was so scared that his legs trembled and he sat on the ground. No one noticed that Tang Da County Magistrate was peeing on his pants.

Zhou Yu saw the crowd scattered and ordered to start cleaning up the idle people. Zhou Yu said, "Don't live, don't hurt people, and those who don't squat down will be killed."

The commander from the side shouted: "If you don't squat down, you won't be killed!"

After hearing this, the crowd in front quickly squatted down with their heads in their hands, but most of them were stunned by artillery and ran around, and were killed by musketeers on the spot.

Ma Jiyuan saw that the crowd had dispersed and the musketeers still shot one after another. He couldn't help but get angry. He stepped forward to find Zhou Yu and asked, "Captain Zhou, the crowd has dispersed. Why do you still kill innocent people?"

Zhou Yu said expressionlessly: "Mr. Tong, the lower official received the order from the King of Chu. All the sugar farmers who caused trouble will be killed without mercy." After that, he handed over Zhu Hongsan's order to Ma Jiyuan.

When Ma Jiyuan saw that the order was written by Zhu Hongsan himself. No one knew his simplified Chinese characters in this era. It was clearly written on it. All the rebellious sugar merchants killed all the family, and the leader of the sugar farmers would be killed.

Seeing that it was indeed Zhu Hongsan's order, Ma Jiyuan had nothing to say and handed over the order to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu said: "Please send a guide to me, so I can arrest the sugar merchant."

Ma Jiyuan couldn't turn around and grabbed Tang Qiu sitting on the ground and said, "Mr. Tang, let your yamen runner lead the way to capture Wang Youdao."

Tang Qiu was so scared that he agreed repeatedly, regardless of whether his pants were still wet, so he quickly went to the county government to find the head of the squad and asked him to lead the way to arrest people.

Zhou Yu divided the two thousand people he brought into ten groups, each with a group of two hundred people, and took a yamen runner to follow the map to catch the sugar merchants. At the same time, he ordered them to execute the man on the spot after they were caught, and the woman was taken to the county government to wait for treatment.

After assigned tasks, Zhou Yu led a team to Wangjiazhuang to capture Wang Youdao. At this time, Wang Youdao had just escaped home. He had just changed into clean pants in the house. A family outside reported that the government army had arrived at the entrance of the village.

Wang Youdao knew that his farm could not resist artillery, so it seemed that he had to escape to Hai'an. The Qian Guard there had accepted bribes for so many years and should be able to keep himself safe for the time being.

Wang Youdao thought that he didn't stop at all, so he immediately escaped from the backyard, leaving his wife, concubine, son and daughter in the mansion.

As soon as Wang Youdao left, Zhou Yu brought his men to the door, but he didn't knock on the door, and directly bombarded the door with cannons. Then he led a team to massacre. Wang Youdao's family is a big family, and his family has been operating in Xuwen for decades. The mansion has a population of more than 200, but he didn't expect that the end of the world will come today, and for a time the entire Wang family became the Shura hell.

Regardless of the master, servant, elderly, or children, as long as the man was killed on the spot, the woman was concentrated in a yard to guard. After an hour, all the male members of the Wang family were killed completely.

Zhou Yu came to the yard where the women were imprisoned and saw more than a hundred women, mainly maids. An elderly lady rushed out and cursed, "Where are pirates from you? Don't you know our Wang family?"

Zhou Yu frowned and thought that the King of Chu said he would sell these women to a brothel, so that the old ones would not be sold at a price, and insulted him. Zhou Yu drew out his hand gun and shot the old woman to death. Then he said, "Who else has anything to say?"

Seeing Zhou Yu's ruthless hands and that dared to speak, all the women were so scared that they trembled.

Zhou Yu asked, "Where is Wang Youdao? Who knows, you can avoid death by saying it."

Hearing that there is no need to die, these maids have appeared one after another.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he found that Wang Youdao ran away. These people were taken to the county government first, and then talk about Wang Youdao's whereabouts.
