The city gate has been controlled, and dozens of soldiers are nervously checking every suspicious person.
"Stop, what are you doing?" A guard nervously raised the gun in his hand.
On the opposite side, eight or nine people came over, immediately making the Qing soldiers at the city gate feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Who would have thought that a series of foreign words that people could not understand flew over, and they were full of anger, and then a young foreigner came over, waving his arms and talking non-stop.
Shengmu was confused and had no idea what the foreigner was talking about.
"This is Mr. Cornwell from Fan Lixi Company." A person who looked like a translator said to the shed: "Mr. Cornwell is very angry. The chaos caused by the riot has put Fan Lixi Company's property interests here under great threat. Here,
It is very unsafe, Mr. Cornwell must return to Chengdu to report the situation!"
"Kang...Fan..." Shenmu couldn't pronounce these two awkward names, but since he was a foreigner, it was better not to offend him. He said with a smile: "Please tell the foreigner.
, I have received an order from my humble post, and now I am only allowed to enter and not leave Leshan."
Before he finished speaking, Cornwell shouted angrily, and the translator also had a gloomy face: "Sir, Mr. Cornwell is very angry about your attitude. He wants to go to Governor Zhao and go to Beijing to file a complaint against you.
"
"No, no!" Shenmu's face turned pale. These foreigners couldn't offend them. Anyway, even if they brought a revolutionary party out of the city, what would it have to do with him: "Please, please."
After getting out of the way, Cornwell led a few people and walked out swaggeringly.
The shopkeeper spat fiercely at the foreigner's back: "Bah, he's just a foreign devil. What's so great about him!"
...
"Mr. Xiong, it's safe." Seeing that there was no one else around, Wang Hengyue let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank you, thank you." Xiong Kewu looked very excited: "Shu saved my life twice, Kewu will never forget it. After the revolution is successful, if Kewu does not die, he will definitely repay Shu's great kindness!"
What I want is your words. When the revolution succeeds, you Xiong Kewu will definitely not die!
Xiong Kewu turned to Cornwell: "Thank you, American friend, is your name Cornwell?"
"Cornwell S. Pitt!" Pitt puffed up his chest and said triumphantly: "When your revolution is successful, you must write my name in your books as a brave, upright and handsome American young man.
How bravely I brought you out of Leshan, which is full of dangers!"
Xiong Kewu couldn't help but laugh, and the sadness of losing his comrade was somewhat diluted.
Wang Hengyue asked someone to bring a robe: "Mr. Xiong, I sent you here. Now most of the officers and soldiers are concentrated in Leshan, so it is safer to go out from here. Remember, be careful."
As he said that, he took out a five-hundred-tael banknote from his arms and said, "Mr. Xiong, this is nothing but respect. You can keep it on the road and use it."
Xiong Kewu did not refuse, took the bank note, and changed his clothes: "After all, if the mountains remain unchanged, we will definitely meet again in the future! Believe me, the revolution will definitely succeed, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will definitely be overthrown!"
Believe, believe, I believe one hundred and ten thousand, do you want me to take such a big risk to save you?
After sending Xiong Kewu away, Wang Hengyue's heart dropped.
"Sir, do you think this revolutionary party can succeed?" Xie Shuixiang asked as he walked back to the military camp.
"I think it will definitely not work." Li Yifeng shook his head repeatedly in disbelief: "Look at these revolutionary parties, they are unprepared for their actions. They were aggressive at first, but once they counterattacked, they collapsed immediately. How can they show any signs of doing something big?"
Xu Mu and he were fellow apprentices, and he nodded again and again: "I think you may have saved the wrong person this time."
Most of the brothers had this opinion. Wang Hengyue laughed and did not argue.
Now they all think that they saved the wrong person, but when that day comes, these brothers will be stunned again and praise how beautifully they did tonight!
The Leshan Uprising was put down after only one day and one night. The leader of the uprising, Xiong Kewu, successfully broke through. Another leader, Huang Jianming, was injured and arrested. He was interrogated and executed without any trial the next day.
More than a thousand people participated in this uprising. After the uprising failed, more than 700 people were killed and captured. Most of the captured insurrectionists were sentenced to death. It was called the "Leshan Massacre"!
In this counterattack, although Zhang Xu failed to train his troops well, causing some recruits to mutiny and he was taken hostage, in the subsequent counterattack, he fought bravely and came to the arsenal in person regardless of the danger to command his loyal men to counterattack
, the merits and demerits were balanced, and he still served as the leader of the second battalion. Moreover, it was a blessing in disguise that the word "agent" was removed from his head.
Most of the others who participated in countering the rebellion were rewarded, but only Wang Hengyue was severely reprimanded.
Most of the survivors in the rebel army escaped from the south gate where Wang Hengyue was guarding. Wang Hengyue's explanation for this was that the breakout was too sudden and the first team was really unprepared, which resulted in such consequences.
After finally suppressing the rebels so quickly, Liu Hongkui was certainly in a good mood. Secondly, he thought that Wang Hengyue would give him advice, so that he could successfully attack the city without artillery and avoid quarrels. Liu Hongkui did not care too much about the investigation, but just scolded him severely.
Wang Hengyue just stopped talking.
Seeing that the armies were about to withdraw their troops, Zhang Xu came to Wang Hengyue's camp and handed over a 10,000 tael silver note, asking Wang Hengyue to accept it no matter what.
Zhang Xu is also a loyal person. When he was in the rebel party, he heard with his own ears that the leader of the rebel party asked Wang Hengyue to pay 10,000 taels of silver. Wang Hengyue refused to give this money no matter what. What's more, now that the leader of the rebel party has escaped, this
If I don't get a pen of money, I might cause some trouble for Shuzhi's brother.
Wang Hengyue was not polite and accepted the money, thinking that he had given Xiong Kewu five hundred taels, and when he changed hands, he had made ten thousand taels. This kind of business would be great in the future.
Zhang Xu is quite a good person. He invited Zhang Xu to the map and said, "Brother, right now the gangsters are causing trouble everywhere, and everyone's life is not peaceful. We don't have anyone up there, so we have to rely on ourselves for everything, otherwise something will happen."
I'm afraid it will be too late if it happens."
"What do you mean, brother?" Zhang Xu was a little confused.
"Brother, please take a look!" Wang Hengyue pointed to the map and said, "I am in Rong County, and my eldest brother is stationed in Leshan. The two places are very close to each other. The two of us can be like horns to each other. When one is in trouble, the other will help each other. This is equivalent to increasing one's power.
Times, if something happens again in the future, we will be prepared in advance!"
Zhang Xu thought for a while and immediately agreed with great joy. God knows what will happen in the future in this world, and there is nothing better than having multiple allies who are loyal and regardless of life and death!
At that moment, the two of them swore to rely on each other, and the alliance was finalized!
