While he was frightened, the sound of neatly running was faintly heard from the morning light. He immediately widened his eyes. After a while, a group of Australian soldiers ran neatly from the street, although there were only more than thirty people.
, but the momentum of them running towards each other with blazing guns and bright bayonets made him feel frightened. He also felt relieved: We are finally here!
He immediately warned: "Hurry! Open the gate of Inner Moon City and welcome the army to take over!"
All the people entering Guangzhou from the east of the city encountered no large-scale resistance. Only sporadic fighting broke out in a few places. Most of them were suppressed by the local "Leading Party" without the Fubo Army taking action. Lin Baiguang hinted to the city beforehand
The "Leading Party" here: Don't be afraid of killing people. And the Leading Party themselves were eager to express their "loyalty" to their new masters with blood. As a result, people were killed everywhere, and "Leading Party" appeared in many places.
An incident where someone takes the opportunity to kill someone in order to express their personal anger. Sometimes the leading party also starts internal strife and fights with each other. In the end, the victor insists that the dead person is an "undercover agent".
The scouts of the General Reconnaissance Bureau and the agents of the Ministry of City Engineering had already controlled various city gates and main commanding heights in the city, and arranged personnel to "lead the way" at various intersections. At 7 o'clock in the morning on March 1, 1635, the 4th Infantry Battalion,
The 1st Battalion of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Group successfully entered all key points inside and outside Guangzhou as planned: city gates, government offices, warehouses, bell and drum towers, and docks all established outposts, and martial law was initiated throughout the city. There were 18 gates in the city, only
Four blocks were opened for citizens and people from all over the country to come and go. Members of the "Public Security Team" of the Ministry of Urban Affairs cooperated with the soldiers of the Fubo Army to check pedestrians at the gates of these four cities. The teaching brigade of the Guangdong Corps of the National Army and the 1st and 2nd Soldiers from Hong Kong
The squadron then entered Guangzhou. After they entered the city, they immediately patrolled the streets under the leadership of staff from the Ministry of Urban Affairs to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the fire to rob.
Just after 7 o'clock, the gunboat Zhenhai from the Hong Kong base set off rolling waves. Accompanied by more than a dozen large boats, it sailed along the Pearl River and entered Baietan. This was the first time that a steam warship penetrated the Pearl River and reached the city of Guangzhou.
Compared with the steam tugboats that Guangzhou citizens are already familiar with, the appearance of this "majestic" "giant ship" caused panic among the surrounding people. I saw the Zhenhai spitting out black smoke while dropping its anchor in Baietan. Qing
The gleaming "big cannon" turned its heavy body together and pointed the muzzle at Wuyang City.
Everyone in Guangzhou is familiar with Guo Yi and Guo Dongzhu's yacht Octopus. The paddle wheel stirred the river water, and it pulled the whistle and sailed from behind, slowly approaching the Tianzi Pier on the east embankment of Baietan.
From Tianzi Wharf to Wuyangyi and Nanguan, soldiers with guns and live ammunition were densely scattered along the road. Bayonets flashed coldly in the spring sunshine, and the morning star flag fluttered in the cold river breeze in early spring, creating a chilling scene.
Next to the reception booth, Guangzhou stationmaster Guo Yi is waiting. He has cut off the bun that he has worn for many years and changed into a long gown. He has shaved off his beard and has returned to his former appearance.
From the first day he arrived in Guangzhou, he had imagined the day he would leave office many times. Six years was not a short period of time in the journey of life. Now, his successor is about to
coming.
The boarding gangway was lowered from the Octopus, and a bugler in a white sailor uniform stood beside the ship's gangway and blew the bugle.
As soon as the bugle sounded, Liu Xiang, the newly appointed director of the Guangzhou Military Control Commission, made a proud appearance in the eyes of everyone. As soon as he stepped onto the gangway bridge, a "military band" trained by trumpeters at the dock began to play and play to salute you. Commander
Comrade, the march played by the noisy suona and gongs and drums has a unique flavor.
Liu Xiang stretched out his hand to Guo Yi, who had already met him, and the two held hands tightly. Liu Xiang originally prepared a set of words, but now he only said: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"I'll have to trouble you later!" Guo Yi said. Although he is a pioneer, the situation he faces is far less complicated than Liu Xiang. The only advantage is that Liu Xiang is now the local emperor here.
The two stopped chatting. Naturally, the new Guangzhou Municipal Government cannot be located on Weifu Street. In fact, the Senate has no intention of establishing an administrative agency in the old city of Guangzhou. Instead, it plans to build a new city. The administrative center also plans to be located there.
The temporary headquarters of the Military Control Commission is located in Dajijie. However, considering that the Military Control Commission has a lot of external liaison work, the external "window" is located at Wuyangyi outside Tianzi Pier. Liu Xiang and his team will also be temporarily stationed here.
, convenient for arranging work nearby.
This inn was burned down by rockets during the Battle of the Pearl River a few years ago, and was later rebuilt. At this time, the inn has been taken over. It has been cleaned and is waiting for the arrival of the new owner.
During this period of time, Mr. Huang has been in an extremely depressed mood. The saying "I miss my family even more during the holidays" is really not wrong at all. When he came out of Lingao's house, he also thought that he would have family difficulties in the future.
situation. However, when the New Year's Day came, seeing all the friends celebrating the New Year at their own homes. There were also some people on the street making new clothes and buying New Year's goods. The bitterness in Mr. Huang's heart became more and more unbearable day by day. It's not like he hadn't moved.
In my mind, I wanted to dress up and go to see my parents in court. However, I went out for a long time despite the opposition of my family and got nothing. If my words and deeds in Guangzhou were to become known, my family would be greatly implicated. I can't do it if I have a family.
, he had no choice but to stay alone in Guangzhou. One or two friends once invited him to their home to celebrate the New Year. However, he felt uncomfortable as an outsider after all, and he was afraid that people who didn't know his details would find him absent from home, which would cause some trouble.
Discussing things.
"Master Huang! Master Huang!"
Rapid sounds came one after another. Huang Hankun turned over and vaguely felt that someone was pushing him, as if it was his servant. He hummed a few times and fell asleep again, because last night
I haven't woken up from a hangover, and my mind is feeling dizzy at the moment. The sun is three poles high and I'm still lying down.
Mr. Huang has been out for a long time, and he is gradually running out of money. Fortunately, friends from all walks of life have provided some support, so it is not a problem to buy some good wine and side dishes every day during the Chinese New Year. He is also served by Lin Zunxiu's servant.
Life was finally getting better for the time being. He had agreed with everyone a year ago that when the weather got warmer and the roads were walkable, he would go north, or go south, or go straight to the capital, to see if he could mobilize the court officials to fight against the thieves.
"Make plans early". Some people have already promised to give their teachers the same year, so that they can take more care of Mr. Huang. Lin Zunxiu and others have also promised to donate some money for his "please". Now that the plan has been decided, now
It was New Year's Day again, and Mr. Huang had nothing to do and nowhere to go, so he hired a boy to prepare food and drinks for him, so that he could stay in his room and have a "drinking away his sorrows."
”.
"Brother Huang! Brother Huang, get up!" The voice changed and became more urgent. He reluctantly opened his sleepy eyes and vaguely saw a man in front of him, looking at him anxiously.
He shook his head, rubbed his eyes again, and recognized that this was Wu Ji from Yuyuan Society.
"Brother Wu, why are you so panicked?"
"Something big happened this time! The Kun people have entered the city!"
"Kun Ren?!" Mr. Huang was excited and sat up from the bed. "Is this true?"
"I saw it with my own eyes. There is no lie! The Kun soldiers entered the city in the middle of the night, but they took over the whole city without a single blow. Now the streets are full of Kun soldiers."
It took Huang Hankun a while to understand the meaning of the other party's words. Suddenly, he felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. It was "a punch that separated the Tianling Cap, and half a bucket of cold water was poured down."
"What a thief!" Huang Xunkun's voice was trembling.
"Master Lin invited me to go to his place to discuss the plan. Brother Huang can wash up immediately and I will go with him."
"That's very good. However, the soldiers are on the street, how can we get out?"
"The Kun people have not strictly enforced the city ban. Now the streets are very quiet. As long as they don't leave the city, pedestrians will not inquire."
Huang Huangkun thought for a while, and the thief Kun always acted loosely on the outside and tight on the inside. The "stable and peaceful situation" on the surface always had to be maintained. He nodded at the moment, "Brother Wu, please wait, let me go wash and change clothes."
.”
At that moment, he hurriedly washed and changed his clothes. He didn't even bother to eat breakfast. He only told the boy: "Stay here and watch. Don't go out."
After leaving the room, he saw the monks in the temple were like ants on a hot pot, spinning around, but they didn't know what to do. When Zhike saw Huang Hankun was about to go out, he hurriedly said: "Donor! What's happening on the street now?"
If you don’t know, it’s better not to go out.”
Wu Ji said, "It's okay. There is no market ban outside. Otherwise, how would I have gotten here? The Australians have sent troops to patrol the streets. The market is also very quiet, and there are no young people making trouble."
Seeing that they were determined to go, the monk opened the small door in the side alley and let them out.
When I walked to the street, I saw very few people walking on the street. Every house along the road was closed and no shop was open. The street was deserted. Huang Hankun slightly regretted himself: Walking on the street like this is too eye-catching.
!How would you answer if you were questioned by a bandit patrol?
However, after walking along the street for a while, he didn't encounter any of the bandits, so he felt a little more at ease. Wu Dai was from Guangzhou and was very familiar with the streets here, so they walked through the alleys and down the secluded streets.
Avoid the main thoroughfares. When you see the patrol of the thief, you hide in the alley before walking back. After walking and stopping like this, you arrive at an alley without much effort.
Huang Hankun saw that there were no houses in this alley. There were high walls on both sides, with some small doors on the walls. He knew that this was probably the backyard of a wealthy family. He saw Wu Ji knocking on one of the doors a few times, and the door opened.
, they flashed in. The person who opened the door was a man wearing a green turban - a turtle slave. He couldn't help being surprised and asked: "Where is this place?"
"Visiting Chunyuan." (To be continued.)
