Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 291 Captives and Street Fighting
It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, the resident office of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi experienced many changes.It was in Zhaoqing in the early days, and then moved to Wuzhou. It was not until the 11th year of Qianlong that it moved to Guangzhou.

However, at that time, the layout of the various government offices in the old city of Guangzhou had been determined, and they were basically scattered around the location of the governor's office in Guangdong.Since there was no place in the old city, the governor's office was set up on Maima Street in the new city to the south.And two streets to the east from the Governor's Yamen is the location of the Guangdong Customs Yamen.

The purpose of saying so much is to show that Sun Shiyi underestimated the enemy.He should have transferred to the governor's yamen in the city at the beginning of dispatching troops. At least the south of Hui'ai West Street in the city is where the Manchu and Han Eight Banners soldiers in Guangzhou are stationed.If he really went, Zhao Xin could only scratch the wall under the city.

But the problem is that although Sun Shiyi knows the power of Beihai Town's big white boat and the power of Beihai Town's cannons, he doesn't know the power of Beihai Town's muskets.As a result, nearly 30 people from the green battalion who were beaten by more than [-] people fled in embarrassment, and eleven people dared to enter the governor's office.

It took only 10 minutes for Zhao Xin to lead the people from climbing the stone steps and rushing into the gate, to passing through the corridor, Yimen, and the main hall, and heading straight to the signing room of the third entrance.At this time, he was extremely grateful for the five-kilometer run he had run in the "Short-term Training Course for Officers".From the thirteen lines to the Governor's Yamen, the distance was about four or five miles. Although Zhao Xin was sweating profusely from running, his breathing rhythm was still very steady, and he didn't feel tired at all.

There are only a hundred or ten guards in the governor's office. Except for those who stand on the roof at night and can use bows and arrows to stop them, most of the other guards and guards on the ground use knives and guns, not even shotguns. .

Just kidding, how can people use muskets in the Yamen of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi?

Zhao Xin gun is equipped with an infrared night vision scope, and it is not easy to hit the target on the roof.People on the roof must straighten up when shooting arrows, so anyone who stands up will become Zhao Xin's soul behind the gun.

After eleven people swept away the Qing soldiers near the main hall, the soldiers were still divided into two groups.Zhao Xin led five people straight to Sanjin's signing room, while the other five went to Dushu East Road. Unexpectedly, they hit the right way and blocked a group of bureaucrats below the governor of Guangdong in the flower hall.

All the officials in the house were stunned when they heard the loud warning from the yard, and they didn't react at all.It has been more than 100 years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and there is no bandit that can attack the governor's office with dozens of people.

While all the bureaucrats were still stunned, they saw two men in black vests and green helmets rushing in with two strange weapons.

Tusab, who was seated at the top, was shocked, only to hear someone shout: "Protect your lords!"

As the words came out, several guards Geshha drew out his waist knives and rushed over, ready to fight.

"Da da da!"

After a violent shooting, the flower hall finally exploded!
As soon as he heard the gunshot, he immediately slid out of the grand master's chair, rolled over, and lay on the ground aimlessly looking for a hiding place; while the straight one trembling with anger, pointed at the two Beihai townsmen. The soldiers wanted to curse, but the bloody scene in front of them made the corners of their mouths twitch in shock, and they couldn't speak at all.

For example, the chief envoy Xu Fantai, who was Xie Yuan in the 33rd year of Qianlong, a Jinshi in the 34th year, and a scholarly official who was the chief examiner, looked at the black hole in front of him with a sneer, but his trembling eyes But his feet betrayed him, and this man was too frightened to walk.

As the governor, Tusab was even the head of the military department and suppressed the Su 43 uprising. He had experienced battles, and when he heard the gunshots, he immediately fell to the ground, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't speak. Immediately shouted: "Come on! Come on!"

At the same time, three other soldiers from Beihai Town also rushed in. They held their guns and shouted loudly: "Don't move! Lie on the ground and cover your head with your hands!"

On the other side, Sun Shiyi and others in the signing room looked at the soldiers who had been shot and died on the threshold, their faces turned livid, and they trembled uncontrollably, not knowing whether it was anger or fear.

The few people in the room saw a man with a height of eight feet quickly poked his head twice before walking in.This person was wearing a helmet and strange clothes, his whole body was bulging and he didn't know what he was wearing, and a dark silk scarf was covering his face.

"Which one is Governor Sun?" Zhao Xin scanned the five people in the room curiously, and finally settled on the thin old man who was motionless behind the table.

"You are Sun Shiyi, right?"

Under the bright candlelight, the thin Sun Shiyi had a gray beard.He is 66 years old this year, but it is the right age for a minister-level feudal official.

At this time, Sun Shiyi only felt numb in his legs and feet, and couldn't stand up at all, so he cupped his hands to the north and said: "My officer, the governor of Guangdong, Guangxi and other local admirals are in charge of military affairs, rations and governors."

"Okay, just tell me if you are right, no need to report the official name!"

Looking at the tall man in front of him, Sun Shiyi's heart suddenly moved, and then he opened his eyes wide, glared at him and said, "You are Zhao Xin?"

"Sun Zhitai, if you have anything to say, go to Baixionghang and talk about it. Don't worry, I won't kill you." Zhao Xinxin said, didn't you behead your head outside Baixionghang to threaten the demonstration?Looking back, I am so disgusted and disgusted with you!

But now Zhao Xin and the others only have eleven people. Once the Eight Banners garrison in the city reacts, no one else can escape except himself.So he directly ordered the two under his command: "Tie them up, tie them into a string with a rope, and take them away immediately!"

At this time, one of the staff members in the house made a halberd finger and said sharply: "Dare you, thief! Ouch!"

The one who answered him was the butt of a gun in a soldier's hand, and he immediately beat the staff member and fell to the ground, rubbing his stomach until he was out of breath.The other two soldiers threw the man to the ground involuntarily, cut their hands behind their backs, and handcuffed the staff member with plastic handcuffs.

"Brother Ma!"

As soon as the other three staff members yelled, Zhao Xin's black muzzle came at him, and all three of them were trembling with fright, their faces turning pale.

Sun Shiyi slapped the table angrily, and was about to swear to show his integrity, when he heard a "bang!", a bullet hole was punched in the white wall behind him, and the echo of the gunshot made the ears of several people in the room ringing. ring.

One of Zhao Xin's subordinates was pointing a rifle at Sun Shiyi, and there was a puff of smoke from the muzzle of the gun.

"Be honest!"

Sun Shiyi said angrily: "What do you want to do?!"

Zhao Xin said lightly: "It's nothing, please go to Baixionghang to have a tea party. Bind him!"

"Zhao Ni, you will die! You guys, let me go!"

As the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Sun Shiyi, who is famous for his incorruptibility, actually wanted to die. The problem is that the soldiers in Beihai Town moved very quickly; Back-cut and copied.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from Zhao Xin's walkie-talkie: "My lord, we have caught a big fish. There are a room full of officials here! Over."

Zhao Xin said in a deep voice: "Tie them all up and take them back to the store! Anyone who dares to resist will shoot directly! It's over."

Sun Shiyi and others looked at Zhao Xin holding a black box on his chest in amazement, and shouting orders, all of them were terrified.

Didn't anyone escape from the flower hall? !Moreover, Zhao Ni was able to talk to the other side from such a distance. Needless to say, he must have used sorcery. Maybe even this Zhao Xin was transformed by a ghost!
In the darkness outside the gate of the supervisory office, countless pairs of eyes are watching the movement of the gate.Since the first gunshot was heard inside, the supervising soldiers who were trying to go in to protect Shangguan shrank back in fright.

After about a meal, a group of people walked out from the gate of the Superintendent's Office.In addition to a dozen black-clothed soldiers holding "guns", there are also a group of dejected guys.

By the light of the lanterns at the door, the soldiers of the green battalion hiding in the darkness were surprised to find that these people who were tied up in a string seemed to be the officials of Guangzhou City.

Seeing the high-ranking officials of the first and second ranks who were usually high-spirited and high in the temple, each with their hands cut behind their backs, being pushed and shoved by the black-clothed soldiers, the soldiers of the Green Battalion suddenly felt an indescribable comfort in their hearts.

Although there were more than [-] prisoners in this group, there were actually only five important officials among them: Sun Shiyi, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Tusab, governor of Guangdong, Fo Ning, supervisor of Guangdong customs, Yao Fen, envoy of Guangdong inspector, Xu Zujing, chief envoy of Guangdong .

Although the hiding green battalion soldiers don't know the high officials, the problem is that they can understand official uniforms!
My mother!It turns out that the old men also have today!

Just as the group of people walked down the steps at the door, Yao Fen, the inspector of Guangdong, took advantage of the inattention of the escorting soldiers, and slammed into the stone railing on the right with a sudden leap.

But Lord Yao forgot that they were all tied together by ropes.So he rushed forward, leading several people in front and behind to stumble at the same time, and he himself was dragged by the rope, and when his head was a few centimeters away from the white marble railing post, he could no longer move.

"Heh~~ Want to commit suicide?" Zhao Xin heard the movement behind him, turned around and saw a group of officials lying on the ground twisted and crooked.

"Rebel! You will die! I, Yao Tiesong, will not let you go even if I am a ghost!" Yao Fen was furious and cursed.

Zhao Xin ignored Yao Fen and said to the prisoner in front of him, "If anyone of you is dishonest, I will cut off his braids and throw them into the stinking ditch!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yao Fen, who was still yelling at him, became stupid all at once.

It has been more than 100 years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and scholars all over the world have long been accustomed to shaving their hair and leaving their braids, and regard the customs of the barbarians as the law of their ancestors.The hair that they usually trimmed was either burned to the ancestors, or it was preserved and put into the coffin together.

If there is no braid, it is unimaginable. If you die, you can't even enter the ancestral hall!

As soon as the words fell, a soldier threw out the bayonet on his rifle and walked towards Yao Fen.The gleaming bayonet made Yao Fen tremble in fright. He thought about the truth that a good man would not suffer the immediate loss, so he yelled: "I'm going! I'm going!"

Looking at the dark street in front of him, Zhao Xin suddenly took out his pistol, fired three shots into the sky, and said loudly: "Listen! You, Sun Zhitai, are now my captives! Come here if you are not afraid of death, and hurt these officials. Let me see if you still want your heads!"

It was quiet around, and occasionally there were a few rustling sounds, but no one showed their heads at all.

Sun Shiyi and other officials looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

At the Thirteenth Street outside the city, Liu Zheng squatted on the roof of the third floor of the White Bear Building, with a walkie-talkie in his waist, a gun in one hand, and an infrared telescope in the other, looking at the city of Guangzhou not far away.

At this time, the entire western and southern parts of Guangzhou City have been alarmed by gunshots. No matter inside or outside the city, the rapid sound of gongs echoed in the night sky.There were many more people on the tall city wall in the northeast, either holding lanterns or lighting torches.

The nearby fire on Tong Wen Street has not yet been extinguished, and more than a dozen ordinary people are busy splashing water with buckets.

The surrounding streets and alleys were already brightly lit, and a lot of local residents holding kitchen knives and iron forks gradually gathered at the entrance of the alley.These people thought that there were bandits outside the city, and they sent people to report to the officials under the city.

In the dazzling chaos, the walkie-talkie at Liu Zheng's waist rang: "Liu Zheng! Do you hear me? It's over."

After Zhao Xin repeated it, Liu Zheng hurriedly put down the binoculars, took out the walkie-talkie and said, "I'm here!"

"Send five more people to the office to meet me! The Qing soldiers are crazy! It's over."

Just as Liu Zheng was about to speak again, he heard a series of gunshots sounded like popping beans again from the direction of the north office, and then the screams of those who were shot echoed in the streets and alleys.He took a few steps to the entrance of the ladder, stepped down the ladder, held on to the railing of the stairs and shouted to the bottom: "Go five people, the office needs support!"

Zhao Xin never expected that the invasion into the city and the arrest of people went smoothly, but trouble came when he came back!
The group of them went out of the oil gate, and first joined the five guarded soldiers at the gate. They thought everything was going well, but when they reached the first alley, a group of Qing soldiers suddenly rushed out from inside.

These guys didn't even light torches. They first fired shotguns indiscriminately, and then a few leaders held steel knives and held shields, or lifted door panels. Behind them were a few guys with long guns, ready to rush up and stab .

When my side started to fight back, all the guys holding the shields and door panels were knocked to the ground, and those people yelled, "The thieves have powerful guns! Run quickly!", and disappeared without a trace .

Fortunately, Sun Shiyi's captives were all strung together with ropes, and they were surrounded by Zhao Xin and the others during the exchange of fire, otherwise they would have been snatched away.

The same is true for the two alleys we passed through afterwards. After several chaotic battles, Zhao Xin and the others were extremely nervous.The people in this meeting don't care about accidentally injuring the people, no matter if it's on the wall or the roof, as long as there is a suspected figure emerging, they will shoot with their hands.

After finally escorting these people to the gate near the office, a group of Qing soldiers came out from the alleys on both sides. After a chaotic battle, there were finally casualties in Beihai Town.

A soldier who was too late to load a bullet was stabbed through the abdomen with a long gun while fighting with a bayonet, and it seemed that he was going to die.In the chaos, the soldier's rifle was also snatched away, but Zhao Xin couldn't care less about it now.

　The protection level of domestic stab-resistant clothing is generally 24 joules.Assuming a one kilogram object is ejected at a speed of five meters per second, its kinetic energy is 24J.The nail guns of Lvying in the Qing Dynasty were made of steel and were one foot long; the spears were four feet long, or more than four meters.
