140 finale(1/3)

.Five months after Shen Guangming was killed, a fleet led by steamers stopped in the moonlight on the river not far outside Guangzhou City. Not far from the docking place was a long-distance fleet, and a small steamer was headed by a small steamer. There was a small sampan coming over there. The people on it were wearing the uniform of the sheriff, and they shouted loudly: "The person who came was Director Zhang Shengfang of the Public Security Bureau of Shaozhou Prefecture? My master is Director Li Wenmao of Huizhou Bureau. The banquet was ready. I would like to invite the master to go to the Huilong to discuss it."

"Sir, we met the fleet of Huizhou escorts the Taiping Army and wanted to invite you to dinner." A sheriff on the deck of the steamer immediately ran into the cabin and reported to the chief.

"Okay! Hey? How did Huizhou Bureau take this waterway? Fortunately, I met my colleagues in Huizhou, and I felt so idle all the way." Zhang Shengfang, who was playing mahjong with several subordinates in the cabin, said with a smile.

Since Shi Dakai surrendered to the Song Dynasty, these sheriffs have become busy. He brought too many soldiers and family members, and no one dared or could not solve them in one go. Zhao Kuo could only use the strategy of boiling frogs with warm water, and gradually dispersed a group of lower-class soldiers. The others were scattered to major cities or military camps, so that the army and sheriffs could watch them do some road construction work, receive some wages, release the "poison" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and then slowly dismissed in batches or sent to places where manpower was needed.

This time, the Shaozhou fleet brought 60 armed escort personnel and transported the last large number of 300 people to Haijing Port, where they would be shipped to the Qiongzhou Iron Mine as a coolie.

Zhang Shengfang asked his subordinates to carry two bottles of wine, and led a few people to the small sampan of Huizhou Bureau, and drove towards Huilong.

"This time, you are in business and you can't drink." Zhang Shengfang looked at the dazzling array of banquets in front of him and said to Li Wenmao with a smile.

"It's okay to drink a little, won't I bring 300 Taiping Army too? Or, our brothers will come first, the foreigners' wine is boring." Li Wenmao smiled indifferently and poured a glass of red wine for Zhang Shengfang himself.

An hour later, the Huilong ships sailed towards the Shaoxiang at the same time. The people on the ship shouted at the high steamer deck: "You Director is drunk too much, so we Director Li personally send them back."

The Shaozhou Sheriff did not dare to be negligent, and immediately pulled the three people on the boat onto the boat with all his strength. But just as they were going to pick up the director wearing a dress on the shoulder of the Huizhou Sheriff's Sheriff's shoulder, the director suddenly jumped down, holding a revolver in both hands, and shouted loudly: "Allfreeze! The unit is not allowed to move!"

Immediately, all the people who boarded the ship in Huizhou pointed their guns at the sheriff and crew on the Shaoxiang.

Shaozhou Public Security Bureau was disarmed by Huizhou Public Security Bureau.

"You are going to rebel!" After drinking too much, Zhang Shengfang understood the situation and screamed in horror after being awakened by cold water.

"Our Sun and Moon Army wants to clear the emperor!" Li Wenmao said disdainfully.

"Isn't it just a rebellion? Mom! Li Wenmao, you Foshan's rebel boy. I'll sue you. Your Sun and Moon Army is looking for death!" Zhang Shengfang looked fearless and cursed.

"Take him into the river!" Li Wenmao snorted coldly. Then he ordered Huang Fuming, holding two guns beside him, "Go and notify the locals in Haijing City immediately. We succeed."

Finally, he turned his head and ordered: "Let us rescue the Earth Taiping Army and land on the shore. I want to give a lecture."

Two days later, at 12 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Kuo from the Governor's Office was not asleep yet. He looked at the pile of reports in front of him, planning his own interests:

The British and French ships that went to Dagukou to exchange for an appointment were beaten to a full brigade by Senggelinqin's carefully built turret, and dozens of people died. Senggelinqin was awesome this time because she fed the soldiers' money and kept conducting live-fire exercises. It can be seen that as long as the Qing officials did some personnel, the soldiers below were still somewhat combat-effective. After being hit, Britain and France were furious and came back fiercely to summon their brothers to take revenge.

Moreover, Hong Ren, a Western School in Tianjin, is in power. He takes over Jiangsu and Zhejiang with all his heart and opens up Shanghai to engage in diplomacy with foreigners. However, it is too late. The gods and cruel Tianjing is not as disgusting as dog shit in the minds of foreigners. They immediately assist the Qing officials in fear to defend.

Now a strange situation appeared. In the north, foreigners were spreading all the way: "I must take revenge on you and play tricks on me!", while in the south, foreigners were trying their best to help the Qing Dynasty resist the Taiping Army.

Whether it is to fight the Qing Dynasty in the north or to help the Qing Dynasty in the south, manpower is needed.

However, the fire broke out in the backyard of the UK, and the Indians were popular with the "Bancake Sect" at the beginning of the year. A pancake was circulated in their hands and didn't speak, but they all knew it. It was very similar to the popular mooncakes in China at the end of the Yuan Dynasty - the killing of the Tartars on August 15th. The soldiers also mutinized and rebelled because in this era, bullets needed to be bitten open with their mouths. Paper bullets were coated with grease to prevent moisture. Indians all said that they were butter and lard, which was equivalent to letting them eat them. They desecrated them. The British side said that this was a rumor. The bullets we posted were wax oil, but no one believed it. When they wanted to fuck you, it would be useless to deny the rumors.

So A San revolted, and Erjin returned to India like a fire. The remaining brother, the British Minister, was hesitant to wait until the uprising was put out before returning, or to let Hai Song and France come forward and fight directly;

Of course, Zhao Kuo refused the latter.

Regarding the statement that Zhoushan landed in Shanghai to help the Qing army resist the Taiping army, Zhao Kuo even cursed: "What's wrong with me fighting the Taiping army on land? Don't you just want me to occupy land? And I want to fight the Taiping army side by side with the Qing army now. Am I being despised by the people? You can be a bitch, just give money, but I can't sell it on the street! And my butt is not stable."

"I have no soldiers! I don't have ships! Of course, I'm very angry at the Qing Dynasty's betrayal and openly violated international laws! I'm so angry!" Zhao Kuo said indignantly at the British and French ministers: "I want to destroy the Hunan Army on land as a revenge on Xianfeng. Of course, we also consider helping in the areas of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it is indirect. We also attacked from Anhui and other places."

Britain had no soldiers and France had insufficient troops. He also hoped that Zhao Kuo would act as a decisive force in Shanghai when it was critical. As a transaction, he had to let Zhao Kuo fight Hunan. However, they had to say first: peace is the first, and the war cannot be expanded outside Hunan."

Therefore, at this moment, the main force of the Crusaders gathered on the border of Hunan. The Navy and the Knife Legion were sent by Zhao Kuo to show off in Zhoushan area and looked at it for Britain and France: Look, I care about Shanghai very much, you can't stand it, maybe I will go there.

But just as Zhao Kuo was thinking about calculating his profit after he got Hunan, a faint sound of stir-frying beans came from his ears. Zhao Kuo only realized ten seconds later: it was dense gunfire.

"Damn! Why are there so many gunfires in my Haijing City?" Sporadic gunfire is not rare, but what happened to so many things. Zhao Kuo stood up suspiciously and walked to the window. When he saw it, he was shocked. The sky was red to the east of the Governor's Mansion, as if some building had caught fire.

"Isn't that my new palace location?" Zhao Kuo was stunned, because there were too many refugees and too many landless farmers. The factory could not absorb it. Zhao Kuo proudly thought of an idea that he thought was wonderful: to build a large-scale construction.

Anyway, before Annan had spent the compensation, he built a national temple first. Not only did he let those who were poorer than work and food, but he also bought the morale of his confidant Crusaders. Then he planned to build a huge Western-style dome palace next to the Governor's Mansion as his new palace, of course, the cannon position and gun hole were everywhere.

This huge building ate 15,000 refugees from Haijing. They sweated and worked for the emperor every day, making money and exhausted, so they saved them from causing trouble and rebellion.

But at this moment, it seemed that something happened at the palace construction site.

Ten minutes later, Huan Zhuguo rushed in.

"What's going on? Is there a fire? There's still a gunshot?" Zhao Kuo asked, staring at Huan Zhuguo, who was panting.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong! Someone rebelled!" Huan Zhuguo shouted in horror.

"Damn! What did you say?! Who rebelled?!" Zhao Kuo suddenly looked deserted.

Huan Zhuguo pointed to the red light outside the window and shouted: "Your Majesty, I just received the report. Half an hour ago, the French engineer who supervised the construction site of the palace was killed. The construction site was set on fire by them. As soon as I rushed to the construction site from home, I encountered the group of coolies rushing towards the Governor's Office and setting fires everywhere. There were guns in my hand! Now there are people rushing to the west, and I don't know who is rebelling!"

Before he finished speaking, gunfire broke out near the Governor's Office at the same time. It was the two battalions of the Governor's Office's guards exchanged fire with the other side.

"Your Majesty!" The general manager of the Governor's Office rushed in in a hurry. Before he could stand firm, the emperor and the prime minister shouted at the same time: "What the hell is going on?"

"About 10,000 or 20,000 people suddenly rushed from all directions and attacked us. We have now pulled up barricades on the periphery..." The supervisor stuttered, and he did not expect this to happen.

"Is there an army?" Zhao Kuo roared. His most fear was that the army would participate. He pulled the ground troops with one hand and might have killed them.

"There is no army, but there is a sheriff involved!" said the general manager.

"Supervisor?" Zhao Kuo and Huan Zhuguo looked at each other. They were all afraid. These security officers were originally cut from the original army, and they were afraid they would have combat effectiveness when fighting.

"What are you shouting?" Zhao Kuo slapped the table.

The general manager glanced at the prime minister and whispered: "What do they shout: Qingjun side, destroy evil ministers, kill Qing demons, fight against Qing Ming and restore the Ming to welcome the old man, God bless the Wing King and so on..."

"The Tianping Army and the Tiandihui?" Zhao Kuo was stunned, thinking about how many young and strong Taiping soldiers were put into the city to build a palace for him, with a maximum of 2,000 people. The Tiandihui, so it is impossible to estimate. I don't know which synagogue it was.

Huan Zhuguo saw Zhao Kuo looking at him a few times, and suddenly felt a warm feeling in his lower abdomen and almost pissed his pants: What if His Majesty threw him out as a traitor and gave him to the traitor?

"Your Majesty, you know what you know! That's a traitor spread rumors..." Huan Zhuguo was shocked by the rebellion and instinctively knelt in front of Zhao Kuo, crying.

"Go roll...Go roll! You ***, who is not a purgatory of rebellion?" Zhao Kuo was so angry that he stuttered at the chaos caused by the country. The latter finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up.

As soon as he finished speaking, another officer with a black smoke rushed in outside the door. He saluted Zhao Kuo and said hurriedly: "Our army has pushed them at the intersection of the street. The other party has too many people and has strong firepower. I hope His Majesty will withdraw quickly."

"Bomb! Use cannons for me!" Zhao Kuo yelled. Before he finished speaking, a continuous sound of cannons immediately sounded from the east outside the window, one was very close to him. The other was far away from him, and it was obvious that both sides were bombarding each other.

"Mom, this is not France! You don't hesitate to use cannons on both sides! Fuck! What a savage era!" Zhao Kuo trembled all over, asking the two officers to take on the heavy responsibility of defending the Governor's Office, and walked out of the office with a pale face.

He hurriedly walked towards his harem, but seemed to remember something. He turned back and almost got full of love with Huan Zhuguo, who was following him.

"Call the Boy Scouts!" Zhao Kuo shouted to the half-sized and small children on both sides of the corridor.

Five minutes later, a boy scout of about 500 people stood tall in the yard, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Zhao Kuo took a few breaths desperately to suppress his fear. He walked forward and shouted at these children in the rumbling sound of gunfire outside: "My sons! Now you are here to serve me and get a glorious opportunity! There is a group of shameless traitors outside, and these clowns jumping in the beams are trying to turn the world upside down and harm me! I raise you. I teach you, I will train you into firm and glorious Knights of God. Are you afraid now?"

"Don't be afraid!" 500 people yelled in unison. Then a boy scout in front of the queue drew out his sabre and yelled wildly: "For your Majesty, kill all the traitors!"

"Very good! I didn't care for you in vain. Go and reinforce friendly troops on the barricade and guard the Governor's Mansion!" Zhao Kuo sneered: "Don't let my expectations down! Remember, I'm proud of you!"

"What is our creed?" the leader of the boy scout officer shouted with his saber raised.

"God! Your Majesty! Glory!" 500 people shouted in unison.

"For your Majesty, kill all the traitors! Get the bayonet!"

The 500 Boy Scouts had a spark of fanaticism in their eyes, and they skillfully operated the guns in their hands, even though the bayonets had been placed on the ground a little taller than them.

Seeing that I have trained children for several years, trained them in military skills and taught them to read and read. Everyone is loyal to him, how much effort has it been spent on it?

Zhao Kuo knew that they were the elites of this era. As long as everyone went out of the army, they would immediately become the backbone officers. Using this super elite to fight infantry is indeed killing chickens and getting eggs.

At the most critical moment, Napoleon refused to use young students from the officers' schools to participate in the battle. He said that the future elites of France should not be wasted like this.

But Zhao Kuo is different. He is extremely selfish. In the critical moment, he used gold bars to clear the toilet without hesitation. He shouted in his heart: "Hurry up and kill me! If I am finished, you will be finished too!"

Seeing them leaving the Governor's Mansion and going to the front line of fighting, Zhao Kuo immediately turned around and ran towards the harem.

Then he immediately pulled out the queen, hurriedly ran towards the small tunnel in the backyard with his two children. He never planned to live and die with the Governor's Office. Instead, he wanted to run to the naval barracks outside the port. At least there was a battalion of Knife Legion, so that he could be both offensive and defensive. He could mobilize the army to retake Haijing, if it was not good, then he would just get on the boat and run to Hong Kong.

On the way, his family and Huan Zhuguo were chased by Zhao Ying and three people. They escorted them out of the Governor's Mansion through the verge of the Governor's Mansion and got on a simple Chinese carriage. On the street full of terrified citizens and robbed by fire, Zhao Ying and the other four walked to escape towards the city gate.

On the way, the prince and the princess were awakened, and were frightened by the horrified faces of the adults who were squeezed into the broken carriage, and began to cry.

This voice made Huan Zhuguo, who was already extremely frightened, even more frightened: What should I do if I encounter a rebel when I escaped from the city? I also cried all the way with the queen and two children, which was so noticeable. Moreover, your emperor also fled with his family. I can throw him away and run away to you to save you, don’t kill me and you.

Thinking of this, Huan Zhuguo, who was sitting behind, pretended to be careless and comforted Zhao Kuo, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is no big deal. Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, was chased by Xiang Yu, and threw away both children, making him even more embarrassed."

He means that Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, kicked his own son out of the car. Can you have some public morality? For safety, get the queen and two children out of the car. The most important thing is to survive by yourself.

Zhao Kuo originally thought the car was walking slowly. When he heard Huan Zhuguo say that Liu Bang was fleeing, he was shocked and thought: "Yes! If there are fewer cars, you will naturally walk faster."

"Why should this guy follow my house?" As soon as he thought of it, Zhao Kuo kicked Huan Zhuguo in the chest. The prime minister immediately rolled out of the car with his head down, lifted the curtain of the rear of the car and showed half of his face. Zhao Kuo whispered to Huan Zhuguo who was lying on the road screaming: "Just, hurry up and contact my own people in the city. Support the Governor's Mansion! I remember your great achievements!"

Zhu Qing was not sleeping at 12 o'clock. He was reading history books. Since he was taken back to Haijing and placed under house arrest, he could not read the Western military books he had liked to read before, and began to move back to Chinese history to study. Hearing the clock on the wall ringing 12 times, Zhu Qingzheng put down the book, looked at the direction of the Governor's Office and murmured to himself: "I have a clear conscience."

But at this moment, the yard was filled with noise, and the watchdog barked twice and suddenly disappeared. Amid the screams of the servants outside, Zhu Qingzheng put on his coat and walked out of the study. He was stunned when he saw it: the servants and the supervisory soldiers were disarmed and pointed at the gun at the corner of the wall. The yard was full of people holding weapons wearing red turbans.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that the Imperial Guard, who was not Zhao Kuo, came, Zhu Qingzheng breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that he might be killed. But immediately he became nervous again: What do these armed personnel in disarray look like they are doing?

"Brother Baitou!" With a surprise voice, Li Wenmao rushed out of the crowd and hugged Zhu Qingzheng and burst into tears.

"Why are you here? How did you come in?" Zhu Qingzheng asked in surprise when he saw that he was dressed in a sheriff.

"I'll save you!" Li Wenmao shouted: "We have all dealt with the high-cap soldiers outside, come with me."

"Save me?" Zhu Qingzheng looked up at the soldiers all over the yard, and suddenly lowered his head and asked in surprise: "Are you rebelling?"

"It's not a rebellion, it's a clear way." With a nice baritone voice, the thin Liu Du walked over with a pistol in his waist.

"Brother Du Chuan?" Zhu Qingzheng naturally knew Liu Du Chuan, a counselor during the Foshan Tiandihui Uprising. He asked, "What's going on?"

"The traitor is quite traitor. The emperor has been confused. First, he is willing to be a foreigner's lackey and handed over my people to foreigners and foreign machines to drink blood; second, he forgot to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and repeatedly wanted to live with the Qing Dynasty; third, he framed loyal and kind-hearted, detained you, a great hero whom all people admired, without guilt, with the intention of killing him;" Liu Duchuan said coldly.
To be continued...
