Jiang Suo had a contemptuous smile on his face. He just piled it lightly, but the shopkeeper couldn't stand steadily. He staggered and almost fell to his death. The stick also fell down, causing a group of people in the yard to burst into laughter.
Boss Chen suddenly became angry and cursed several times, asking the guys to take action. He saw that none of his guys dared to come forward to help - this group of salesmen were very good at martial arts, so they started to take action.
I will definitely suffer a loss.
Boss Chen didn't expect that this group of people who had a handle on him would dare to despise him so much, and in front of a group of poor locals. How could he lose such face? At that moment, he got up and rolled around.
He rushed to a small room.
Qingxia spat and secretly cursed: "Bullying the weak is afraid of the strong!" She was about to open the courtyard door and go out. Suddenly, Boss Chen ran away, holding a gong in his hand and started banging desperately.
The crisp and rapid sound of the gong reverberated in the air. People in the yard were stunned for a moment - this was a police gong. Usually it was beaten only when there was a policeman or a fire broke out. As soon as the gong was struck, the watchman,
Xiangyong and Shuihui will come soon. Now that the world is dominated by Australians, what is the use of beating this gong?
It turned out to be useful. I heard a burst of rapid footsteps approaching from far away. Then there were people outside shouting: "Where is the gong playing? Where is the gong playing?"
As if he was seeing a relative, Boss Chen rushed out, opened the door to the backyard, leaned out half of his body and shouted in a high voice: "Chief! There is a training eye that has slipped through the net!"
No one expected that he would do this. Everyone in the yard was stunned as if they had been struck by lightning. Qiu did not commit any crimes after the Kun thieves broke into the stronghold, and he did not kill people at will, but people like the leader of the regiment and Teacher Xiangyong
, you will definitely die if caught! During the meeting on the threshing floor just now, three martial arts masters were hanged in public. They were all hired as Xiangyong teachers in the past month or two.
Qingxia's head went "bang", and when she saw Jiang Suo pulling out the short knife from his waist and about to fight, she quickly suppressed his hand: "You can't do it!" she shouted in a low voice.
Although Jiang Suo was full of blood, he listened to the words of his master and senior sister. He immediately stopped and inserted the knife back. At this time, a group of marine soldiers had already poured in.
Shortly after occupying Sanliang City, the Fubo Army restored the basic order of the town, including the police gong system and watchmen. They also dispatched patrol teams to patrol the streets and alleys day and night, hunting for fish that slipped through the net while maintaining public order.
, to guard against someone taking advantage of the fire.
Each patrol is equipped with a local watchman as a guide and translator. As soon as the gong sounds, the sailors arrive immediately.
"What's going on?" The corporal leading the team looked at the people in the yard. When he saw Qingxia and her group carrying weapons, he couldn't help but frowned and scolded: "You guys, put all your weapons on the ground!"
Qingxia quickly put down the short knife at her waist and pushed Jiang Suo. Jiang Suo was unwilling to take off the knife and threw it on the ground. He felt that he could deal with the seven or eight people on the opponent's side, whether they were white soldiers or fists and kicks, but
The Kun thief's firearms are very powerful, let alone carrying the nickname "Jiang Niang". Even if the three of them were intact, they would not be able to break out of the town even if they were able to defeat this courtyard.
Boss Chen nodded and bowed to greet him: "Chief——"
"I'm a corporal." The leading thief said solemnly, "What are you doing with the gong?"
"Master Corporal!" Boss Chen said, showing off his sign, "I am the liaison officer of this town..." He was so anxious that he forgot that there was also the word "liao" in the middle of the liaison officer. "These three people are all
She's Teacher Xiangyong who works for that bully Luo Tianqiu. Look at that girl, she's still injured."
"That's right." The corporal looked at them. Their appearance and temperament were indeed that of a martial artist. According to regulations, they must be arrested and interrogated before making a decision.
"Take it away!" the corporal waved his hand.
"Yes!" The soldiers came up immediately and were about to take them away.
"Deputy Master, we are unjustly accused!" Qingxia knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly, "People like the women are for sale, and the weapons they carry with them are for sale. The owner of this shop has taken a fancy to our horses.
For those who falsely accuse civilian girls and others after blackmail fails, please investigate clearly, deputy!" He kowtowed a few more times.
"I have no right to come and investigate, so you can go with me to the office." The corporal waved his hand and said to Boss Chen, "Since you are the accuser, you have to go too!"
"Yes, yes, little one, let's go right now." Boss Chen said with a smile on his face, "She is just quibbling. Look at that woman, she still has red wounds on her legs..."
Qingxia's complexion changed drastically, but other things were fine. The red wound on Jiang Niang's leg was unexplainable - if she hadn't fought with him before, how could there be a bayonet wound on her leg?
Boss Chen showed a proud look on his face and added jealously: "This woman is very good at archery. She has even shot and injured your brother if she got into trouble."
Qingxia's face turned pale. She saw Boss Chen chattering incessantly, adding insult to injury every time. She couldn't get out of the so-called public office. She kept crying about injustice, and then turned around and begged other people in the yard to testify.
Boss Chen falsely accused them because the blackmail failed.
However, the people in the yard knew that Boss Chen had sold himself to the Australians, so they dared to come to this muddy water. They were all silent and silent. Qingxia knew that she was an outsider, and no one was willing to come out to help. In despair,
Yu secretly regretted that he was not tactful enough. He would have given up on the horses if he had known about them. He was obviously not clean and had to be a coach for the Luo family, so he still had to stand firm. He was not afraid of being caught by the Australians and would be killed, but everyone in the team was
It fell in, and there wasn't even anyone running outside to rescue him.
Thinking of this, she felt heartbroken with regret, but the matter had reached a point of no return, and the only thing left to do was to act according to the public opinion. She secretly made up her mind that as long as she could save everyone, she would sacrifice anything.
Just the night before Qingxia and her party were arrested, Wen Desi led reinforcements to Sanliang City.
Sanliang Town is the largest town captured by the task force. It is also the wholesale and distribution center for Dongguan and several neighboring counties, and its commercial status is very important. It also has the largest number of trophies seized and prisoners captured. For this reason, it has received special attention
The elders of the fleet paid great attention to it. After the news that Shi Zhiqi was hit by an arrow came, Wen Desi immediately set off and took several elders and some civil personnel to Sanliang City, preparing to do some business there.
The reinforcement team led by Wen Desi had to pull out the wooden piles in the river and clean up the river because they had to move the long line of transporting supplies. They cleaned up the river all the way and did not arrive at Sanliang City until the afternoon. By this time, the battle had basically begun.
It was over. Although it took a while to capture Luo Zhai, Luo Zhai had been occupied before dark.
Wen Desi immediately commanded the troops to "clear out" and "screen" the entire Sanliang. A group of people were hanged immediately. The seizure and confiscation of property continued until night.
The search and elimination of the remaining enemies continued throughout the night. More than 400 marines blocked all access roads. Teams of patrols patrolled every street and alley with torches, searching for every native who tried to escape.
Those caught were sent to temporary detention camps near threshing floors and public offices to await retribution.
The resistance in Sanliang City is the strongest, and the sailors' revenge is particularly cruel. Although they are restricted by discipline and cannot vent their anger on the people, they are so polite to Xiangyong. If anyone
The slightest resistance or rude words will be stabbed to death with a bayonet on the spot.
After Wen Desi signed the first batch of hanging orders, he relaxed. It is not easy to be a leader after signing so many orders at once. He stood up and looked at the brightly lit yard. The yard had been cleaned.
After that, marine soldiers were put on guard under the eaves of the corridor. The bayonets reflected the light of the torches in the yard, shining coldly.
He called an officer on duty: "Where is Captain Shi?"
"He is in the temporary hospital. I will take you there right away," the officer said respectfully.
A branch of the office has been converted into a hospital. The Dongnuan Pavilion has been converted into a temporary operating room. A rosewood table served as an operating table, and curtains were drawn around it. A dozen spotlights were placed around it - electric
It was provided by a bicycle-type human-powered generator outside, and the sailors took turns riding the bicycles.
Zhang Tumu performed an abdominal pellet removal operation on a Xiangyong and sutured the wound. It was difficult to say whether the wounded man could survive because the conditions were too primitive. But at least he had a chance of survival after the operation. If he didn't, he would definitely die.
"Pay attention to your care. Especially take medication on time." After Zhang Tumu took care of the hygienist, he soaked his blood-stained latex gloves in a basin of water, washed them carefully, and then soaked them in a basin of alcohol - if
Lin Gao, the nurse will help him with these things, so here he has to do it himself.
Zhang Tumu was a doctor accompanying the army. He brought several indigenous medical students studying emergency surgery and a lot of equipment and medicines. In addition to saving lives and healing the wounded, he also wanted to practice his skills. Originally, he set up a medical point in Humen, but the detachment was on the Pearl River.
The patrol battle did not result in many seriously wounded people who needed his own action. In the end, he decided to act with the detachment. If he could not rescue the prisoners by himself, he could at least rescue the prisoners.
With this in mind, half of the small medical team and their equipment were left behind, and the others boarded the ship and arrived at Shiwan occupied by Shi Zhiqi. Zhang Tumu was bored in Shiwan when news came from ahead that Shi Zhiqi had been hit by an arrow.
He quickly took his apprentice and equipment to Sanliang Town under the escort of soldiers.
I originally thought I was going to rescue Shi Zhiqi, but I ran over and saw that Shi Zhiqi was not yet in need of resuscitation. He was sitting on a couch with a sluggish expression, and the arrowhead with a small part of the shaft was still on his body - the army health worker discovered
The place where the arrow was hit was very close to a major artery, so I didn't dare to help him cut open and take out the arrow, so I had to wait for Zhang Tumu to arrive.
Qingxia's arrow hit the "armor" he put on outside his uniform - this is protective equipment distributed to veterans who are not equipped with stab-proof clothing. It is similar to an old style steel plate body armor, with key parts *
**Steel plate protection. The feather arrow hit the heart-protecting steel plate on his chest very accurately, and just missed piercing his heart directly.
If he had really hit the target, Shi Zhiqi would have died on the spot even if he had ten lives. The arrow bounced off the steel plate. The arrow was so slant that it hurt his shoulder. The injury from the arrow was not serious, so Zhang Tumu cleaned the wound and injected it.
Tetanus. He was given antibiotics again.
"You're pretty lucky." Zhang Tumu sutured the grinning Shi Zhiqi's wound without anesthesia. "You almost punctured an artery. If you puncture an artery, you'll be dead. Just wait until you go to Cuigang for the memorial service."
"Doctor Zhang, you have no sympathy at all." Shi Zhiqi groaned while lying on the hospital bed, "My bones are not broken..."
"The bones are not broken, but you have soft tissue bruises all over your body. It's quite painful - you need to take a good rest. After returning to Lingao, I will take a X-ray to see if there is any damage to the ligaments and joints - I am not an orthopedic surgeon. There are some things
I dare not guarantee it." Zhang Tumu washed his hands and said, "You are lucky that you didn't break any bones after falling from the roof. Be careful in the future!"
Shi Zhiqi said feebly: "I am a Marine Corps officer, and I always take the lead."
"Haha," Zhang Tumu smiled, "To be honest, you are indeed the most injured person in your detachment."
Shi Zhiqi couldn't help but let out a cry of shame or anger: "Twelve people died one after another, and I myself was injured - what should I say when I go back, I have lost all my face!"
"Fourteen people died. Two more were killed during the attack on the village." Zhang Tumu said, "But all the injured are fine."
"Oh my god." Shi Zhiqi groaned, probably because he touched some painful area, and he grimaced.
Zhang Tumu said: "Would you like me to give you some painkillers?"
"No need. Well, the painkillers in your hand are not opium or coca. I will definitely not take them." Shi Zhiqi said, "Why don't you make two pornographic movies..."
"The laptop is out of power." Zhang Tumu immediately refused, "You'd better have a good rest. I'll give you a sleeping pill made by Pianrunshitang. This is a pure Chinese medicine preparation that Liu San boasted about - of course, in fact, opium is also a pure Chinese medicine.
preparation."
"I don't dare to rest - there are only two of us as elders, and you have never led a team. I am afraid of making mistakes by relying on the native officers to command."
"I think their performance is very good and orderly. Now the order in the town has been restored. Don't worry about it. Besides, President Wen came with the D detachment this afternoon. Are you still worried about having him in charge?"
"Mr. Wen is here too?"
"That's right, he will probably come to visit you when he is done with his work." Zhang Tumu smiled, "It's just that Huang Zhao is not here. No one is here as a photojournalist, so why don't I take some photos for you of "President Wen cordially visits fighting hero Shi Zhiqi" and said
Maybe it can be included in primary school textbooks in the future."
"Stop making fun of me." Shi Zhiqi knew that he was making fun of his "glorious deeds" on Lantau Island, "What's the benefit of taking this photo to me..."
"You have no benefits, but Mr. Wen has benefits. What a good propaganda theme."
"I have a lot of benefits." Mr. Wen's voice sounded outside, "I don't care, men must rely on strength! This kind of nonsense is useless!"
As expected, Wen Desi came to visit Shi Zhiqi. His purpose was of course not to take pictures, but to handle the subsequent affairs of Sanliang City, and he wanted Shi Zhiqi to give him some advice.
When it comes to things like "administrative level", Wen Desi is much higher than Shi Zhiqi, but they are both veterans, and the town was mainly conquered by Shi Zhiqi's detachment. Although he is currently injured and cannot handle affairs, this is a formal respect.
It still needs to be fully expressed.
"...I don't have any opinion. It's up to you, Mr. Wen." Shi Zhiqi put on an expression of infinite trust, "However, we must retaliate severely and let them know the consequences of resisting our Fubo Army.
..." At this point, he was afraid that Mr. Wen would suspect that he was demanding severe revenge because he was hit by an arrow, so he quickly told the story of how the enemy threw ten thousand enemies on the river and lost an entire squad.
"I can't swallow this breath...Eleven sailors, all the best young men...just gone..." Shi Zhiqi said with emotion. After all, these soldiers grew up under his command.
.
"Yes." Wen Desi nodded, but did not say what he would do. When Shi Zhiqi mentioned this case, he felt it was necessary to discuss it in the staff meeting - the natives had begun to try some asymmetries intentionally or unintentionally.
It is a means of tactical confrontation under certain conditions, and we must pay attention to such signs.
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly," Wen Desi said. "As for revenge, Sanliang resisted so tenaciously and wiped out all the local powerful people. However," he expressed worry, "we can't wait for a long time."
Here, even if they are eliminated, it is impossible to establish a political power, which is a pity."
"I suggest setting up an underground party..." Shi Zhiqi said, "The Foreign Intelligence Bureau did not set up the Shanhai Road, but also created a system like the 'Five Elements Flag'. There are business people and intelligence people, so just let Jiangshan dispatch
Some indigenous people do business here and build a local team, making money and providing intelligence."
Taking advantage of the military control of the current armed occupation, all possible opponents were eliminated. A group of prostitutes were cultivated as the peripheral force of the underground party, and some important towns were secretly controlled.
Towns are the link between cities and villages, and have strong radiation and penetration capabilities into the countryside. The surrounding rural economy is greatly affected by towns. Whether it is the penetration of currency or goods in the future, it will be very helpful.
Wen Desi had considered this plan before - including Wu De, Jiang Shan, and Si Kaide, who all communicated with him in telegrams about some of the aftermath of the "tax collection" operation on the villages and towns along the Pearl River. Among them, he talked about the treatment of a certain
It would be a pity to evacuate these large market towns captured by force if they just kill a group of people, grab a group of things, hire a few agents to pay "reasonable burdens", and then evacuate. It would be best to take advantage of the fact that the Ming and Qing governments did not go to the countryside.
, taking advantage of the situation and setting up an "underground government" in the local area.
