Section 59 Entering the City

 A few people thought about it and there really was no good solution. ↗ Some people were talking to each other and wandering aimlessly on the street. It was still early, and the leisure class in Guangzhou city was still sleeping on the street.

Not all shops are open for business. Only the snack vendors along the street are selling a variety of snacks and snacks to the people who came out early in the morning to work hard.

Li Ziyu said: "What are you doing today? If you don't want to study, why don't you read the doll book?"

Zeng Juan was not interested: "The latest volume of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not here again. I have read all the previous ones."

Li Ziyu said: "Why don't you choose a few other books to read? "The Chronicles of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" is not bad either."

"The stories can't be connected together, there are too many people, and the names are hard to remember," Zeng Juan was not interested in this. "There are too few stories about tactics. The counselors just talk, saying a few words to make the enemy retreat.

Let’s compare…”

"You don't understand this. Strategies and strategies have to be seen from the general trend of the world. They are much more complicated than fire attacks and water attacks..." Li Ziyu is older and has more reading experience, and is very concerned about this.

I have an idea and want to take the opportunity to sell my "knowledge".

However, Zeng Juan and Zhang Yu were not interested in this, so Zhang Yu suggested going to the big world to see what "new things" there were.

"Recently, there are Australian boats on the river. It is said that they have brought many new things. By the way, I also want to give Brother Zeng a chance to see if he can grow his hair."

Zeng Juan was young after all, and his mood was depressed for just a moment. Hearing that there was something new to watch, he got excited again.

The three of them walked to Dadongmen together. They chatted while walking. Li Ziyu talked about Senior Wu from Social Studies, saying that he had not come to Social Studies for a long time. It was said that he had hooked up with a noble man.

"He, he has now hooked up with a fake Mr. Huang, and has become a talented scholar at Kun. Not only does he have a close relationship with the people of Yuyuan Society, but he has also become Mr. Liang's guest."

"It is said that the people from Yuyuan Society have helped him open up his joints. He has won the boy's test this time. He is probably a scholar in Jinke."

"It's not easy for Mr. Wu either..." Zeng Juan said casually, but felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Wu Ji had a good relationship with them. Logically speaking, he should be happy for him when he heard the news. However, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

Congested.

"In this world, you still have to cling to the powerful!" On the contrary, Li Ziyu suddenly became angry, "What moral articles are all nonsense and deception!"

Zhang Yu was a little surprised that Li Ziyu suddenly became so cynical, but Zeng Juan knew that Li Ziyu's uncle originally gave Li Ziyu a job in the army - he would get a free amount of money and food, but unexpectedly he would get a head start on his way to an official position.

Went. Li Ziyu was very worried about this and had been cursing "pill" behind his back for several days.

The three of them sighed and wandered all the way to the Dadong Gate. Suddenly Zhang Yu said: "Strange, why are there so few people on the street?"

After he said this, they realized that the streets were very deserted. There were not many farmers who had gone into the city early in the morning to sell vegetables and excrement. Originally, this was the peak time for these people to enter and leave the city.

While they were wondering, the street in front of them suddenly became commotion, and someone ran back towards them, looking nervous. There was some chaos on the street for a while. The three of them thought that there were officials entering the city in front of them and clearing the road. However, there was no "military or civilian people avoiding" in front of them.

During the hesitation, someone was heard shouting in a low voice: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps. It sounded like there were many people. Then someone was heard shouting quickly.

Said: "Quick! Quick!"

Zhang Yuke could clearly hear this sound, it was the Australian way of saying "Newspeak!"

In the city of Guangzhou, Guangzhou Mandarin is commonly spoken, and most officials from outside speak Mandarin. The only ones who speak Newspeak are the "Australians" and their subordinates. But these few Newspeak sentences are well-spoken. They are definitely not in the construction site shop.

People who work for Australians can tell this!

Li Ziyu and Zeng Juan also realized that something was wrong, and their faces suddenly turned pale. But Li Ziyu reacted very quickly and whispered: "Quickly, let's hide in the alley!"

The few people didn't care about the dignity of the scholar, so they lifted up their robes. They hurriedly took a few steps and ran into the side alley. Zeng Juan was about to go deeper, but Li Ziyu grabbed him and whispered: "Mo

Run! Hide first!"

The three people squatted down, ignoring the stench, and huddled behind several urine buckets at the entrance of the alley to watch.

I saw hurried footsteps approaching on the street. Listening to the footsteps, it seemed that there were at least a few hundred people. What was going on? Could it be that the officers and soldiers mutinied? Mutinies were not a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty. Chaos, burning and killing*

The *** is omnipotent, and in an instant, the Demon King will be reincarnated. When Zhang Yu thinks of this, he feels his whole body trembling, and Li Ziyu's hand feels cold when he touches it.

After a while, I saw that the street was deserted, leaving only some discarded vegetable baskets and dung buckets and a few shoes. I saw groups of soldiers in blue-gray jackets running past the alley with blunderbuss. Birds

The muskets were all equipped with bright daggers, which shone with a frightening cold light in the sun. The soldiers wore iron helmets, and their faces were hard to see clearly, but in Zhang Yu's eyes, they all had a fierce look in their eyes, which was extremely ferocious. Zhang Yu

He felt like his bladder was weighing heavily and he wanted to urinate. He heard the sound of teeth chattering in his ears. It turned out to be Zeng Juan. Li Ziyu's face turned pale.

It took a while for the soldiers on the street to finish. Li Ziyu made a move, and the three of them hunched over and ran along the wall to the depths of the alley.

They ran for more than two miles before they stopped, especially in shock. Li Ziyu stammered: "Yes, yes, it's the Kun thief!" In a hurry, his words were useless.

They had no objection to the fact that the soldiers passing by on the street were Australians: they all had short hair and short clothes, and the few passwords they heard occasionally were in new dialect. The most important thing was that they had bayonets and blazing guns in their hands.

There is no other company that has the military weapon!

Zhang Yu was shocked: "Aren't Australians...Australians...people doing business in the big world? How..." The Australians came to the city and burned Wuyangyi only a few years ago, but in the past few years their image has always been

They are peaceful and friendly businessmen. Now that their minions are suddenly exposed, they are really uncomfortable.

"I think they have been disobedient for a long time..." Li Ziyu wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Zeng Juan, "Stop talking about this! What should we do now? Send troops to the city!"

The three of them were immediately panicked: once the bandits entered the city, there was no guarantee that they would not "loot for three days". This has been the only way for rebels to win over their subordinates since ancient times. Moreover, the Australians had various conflicts in the Battle of Pearl River Estuary a few years ago.

What the towns and villages did was not really considered "no crime in autumn" - there were not a few ships passing by Baietan carrying the spoils and prisoners captured from the four villages.

Thinking of the legendary "rows of corpses hanging on trees", the three of them couldn't help but feel frightened. Zhang Yu was at a loss and said: "Why don't we go home first..."

When Zeng Juan heard this, he said, "Yes! Let's go home first and take a look at the limelight. My father probably doesn't know yet. When I came out, I saw that he had just laid down the bunks..." His face turned pale at this point.

——Once the city is broken, the various gangsters in the city often start to plunder and **** before the soldiers who come in take action.

"Yes, yes, let's go back first and talk about it first!" Li Ziyu said, suddenly thinking that his family is a hereditary military household, and his uncle is also known as Guangzhou Vanguard Thousand Households - when the Kun thieves saw the situation, wouldn't they want to raid the house and exterminate the clan?

? His whole body was shaking like chaff, and he murmured: "It would be great if I could come back if I know something new! He has voted for Kun!" As he said this, he suddenly thought that Zhang Yu was the "appointed supplier" of the Australians, and he should be with Australia.

The relationship was so close that he could not help but bow to Zhang Yu and beg, "Brother Zhang Xian, help me!" The unprepared Zhang Yu was startled and said: "Brother Ziyu! What's wrong with you?"

"Please, dear brother, for the sake of you and my classmates, save me, save my whole family!" Li Ziyu begged, so sincerely that she almost knelt down on the spot.

Zhang Yu was confused for a moment. In terms of connections, status and wealth in Guangzhou city, Li Ziyu was the best among them. Being friends with them was quite a bit like "intersecting each other". On weekdays, he only had friends from social studies.

His classmates asked for things that he did not ask for from others. The sudden and humble request shocked him.

"My dear brother also knows that my family belongs to the avant-garde army in Guangzhou..." At this point, Zhang Yu suddenly realized: he and Zeng Juan are both ordinary people. As long as they survive the chaos of the past few days, the Australians will never embarrass them.

.But the Li family is a hereditary military household, and the eldest uncle is still a thousand-year-old family... After the Australians enter the city, they must be "cleaned". They have all heard of the methods of the Australians in the countryside.

"...Brother Xian is now a shop supplying goods to Australians, and he has the favor of Zhenkun. Australians must be innocent when they come to the city..." It turns out that Li Ziyu wanted to take the whole family to take refuge in the Walnut Cake Shop.

.

In the past, Zhang Yu must have been full of vanity, but how could he dare to agree at this moment: after all, he was only supplying goods to the Australians, and he had no special relationship with the real man - he never saw him again after that time

Chief Guo Hong.

Zhang Yu hesitated and said: "Well, my family only supplies goods to the big world... we have no close friendship with the Australians..."

Li Ziyu wanted to say something else, but someone came running from behind, shouting all the way: "Hurry up and get on the bunk! There are soldiers passing by on the street!"

Before he finished speaking, the originally quiet street suddenly became chaotic. All the shops that had closed for business were in chaos. The boss stumbled out of the shop and repeatedly called for the waiters and apprentices to come out and clean up the things that had been laid out.

The stalls were covered with planks, and they could only hear a ping-pong noise in the street before the unloaded planks were put back on. The three of them were so frightened that they no longer cared about "countermeasures" and ran away for their lives.
