Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 404
Lu Zigao showed a look of contempt, and said mockingly: "Your surname is Dong, you also know the crooked ways of Hunyuan Sect and Bagua Sect."

Hearing this, the person whose surname was called Dong immediately yelled: "You are not allowed to use your surname, you can't say your first name, you fucking forgot what you said before?!"

At this time, Yalha looked at Lu Zigao with hatred, and said bitterly: "Lu Zigao, you are a spy, I am really blind!"

Lu Zigao clasped his fists and said, "Brother Yalha, don't blame me. This Beihai Town is good for you, but it's a pity that it doesn't give us scholars a way out, so I have no choice but to make a bad move."

"Not giving you a way out?" Yalha was a little confused.For him, raising horses is the most part of his life, and he doesn't care much about other things.In his opinion, Lu Zigao was in charge of accounts at the racecourse, and he could get more than ten silver dollars a month, and there was fifty acres of land allocated to him north of Fuldan City, so the salary was already very good.

"Huh~ I have been studying poetry and books since I was a child, and all I think about is that one day I will be able to stand out and show what I have learned. If it weren't for the severe drought in Qianlong's 51st year and the family was really poor, I would have been elected. Originally Thinking that coming to Beihai Town may be useful, who knows that Zhao Xin looks down on my generation of scholars."

At this moment, the man surnamed Dong suddenly swung his left hand around Yalha's neck, protruded his thumb, and slammed it on Yalha's temple with his thick knuckles. past.The man surnamed Dong then scolded: "What are you talking about with a groom boss, hurry up and get down to business!"

Seeing that he was about to go out, Lu Zigao hurriedly said, "Aren't you going to tie him up?"

The man surnamed Dong said disdainfully: "The person I, Dong Yulin, knocked out will never wake up within two hours."

Dong Yulin, a native of Mijiayan Village, Guan County, Shandong Province, used to be the leader of Bagua Sect. He practiced martial arts since childhood and was proficient in Bagua boxing.

In the intercalary July of the 51st year of Qianlong, there was an incident of Bagua Sect killing officials and robbing prisons in Daming Mansion, Zhili.Local gossip sect leaders Duan Wenjing, Xu Kezhan and others gathered more than [-] congregants to attack Daming Mansion. Unexpectedly, when attacking the treasury, because officers and soldiers arrived one after another, a group of party members escaped from the gate and went to Daming, Yuancheng Er County jail.As a result, under the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, Duan Wenjing, Xu Kezhan and others rushed to flee, while the rest of the believers dispersed.A ridiculous "riot" was completely quelled by the government after only a few hours.

However, this kind of cult rebellion case involving rebellion still gave Qianlong a great shock and vigilance. He was afraid that these people would have a connection with Beihai Town outside the customs, which was under the banner of Mingzi.For this reason, Qianlong adopted a careful deployment to arrest Duan Wenjing and Xu Kezhan who had fled.

In October of that year, Duan and Xu fled to Shandong and found Dong Yulin, a small landlord who was also a Bagua believer, for help.As a result, when Xu Kezhan was arrested, Dong Yulin was also imprisoned.In the 52nd year of Qianlong, Dong Yulin's family was all exiled to Yili.

Last November, according to Qianlong's secret decree, He Shen ordered people to find Dong Yulin who had been exiled.After a sincere conversation, Dong Yulin, who is a master of gossip boxing, was naturally willing to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, so he took his family as a hostage and was sent to Beihai Town to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Xin.

It needs to be explained that Dong Yulin's Baguaquan is not the later Baguazhang.Bagua boxing belongs to Shaolin boxing. The way of boxing is a straight line, back and forth, with vigorous movements and strong attacks.In the early and mid-Qing Dynasty, because Bagua Quan had been secretly passed down in the Bagua Sect, little was known about it outside.

It was dusk at this time, and most of the workers in the racecourse had already left work.Lu Zigao, who was carrying a lantern, and Dong Yulin, who was bowing his head, were both wrapped in thick green cotton coats. The two hurried through a stable and soon arrived at the warehouse where the feed was stored.

The two went around to the small door at the back of the warehouse. Dong Yulin raised his hand and clapped rhythmically a few times. Lu Zigao on the side lit up the lantern with a match.The door opened quickly, and when the two entered the warehouse, as the light of the lantern was slowly turned on by Lu Zigao, the seven or eight people waiting in the warehouse all showed their figures, and each of them held a bag around their waist or in their hand. With sharp weapons.

These people are all Bagua followers who followed Dong Yulin from Yili, and they all have good skills.Heshen's promise to these people is that if Zhao Xin can be killed, he will be rewarded with 5000 taels of silver, promoted to the sixth rank and awarded to Qian Zong, and his parents, wives and children will be released from Yili to their original places.

This reward is already quite high, don't forget that Dong Yulin and the others are convicts who were assassinated, and being able to become an official is already an honor for the ancestors.The Green Camp military system in the Qing Dynasty was divided into Biao, Xie, Ying, and Xun. Among them, "Xun" was led by President Qian, with a force of 1000 to [-] people.

Not counting the top three, many authentic brand Wu Jinshi come out to be the sixth rank.If Li Dagang, a Wujin scholar who is still digging coal in Yizhou, knows about this, he will definitely be filled with emotion.

The reasons for Lu Zigao's rebellion as a horse farm accountant are very complicated.As he said to Yalha before, Beihai Town looks down on scholars from Manchuria.

Everyone knows that flexibility is more suitable for survival, but it is not so easy to change the concept of "everything is inferior, only reading is high"!
In fact, it is not only him, including Wang Zhong, when these scholars who have read the Four Books and Five Classics and are proficient in writing stereotyped essays are basically at a loss when faced with all kinds of unheard of technical machinery and supporting systems in Beihai Town and at a loss.

The biggest problem is that there is no imperial examination.The ancients worked hard for ten or even decades, studying the books of sages and sages, with the purpose of becoming an official through the imperial examination, so as to realize their political ambition of "regulating the family and governing the country and the world".Of course, making money is a by-product.

With the use of a large number of machinery and equipment, Beihai Town has broken the four-people social structure of "scholars, farmers, businessmen" that has lasted for thousands of years in the customs, and the boundaries have become increasingly blurred.

Many families are considered both agricultural population and industrial population.They have [-] acres of land allocated to them by Zhao Xin, but the cultivation of these arable land is completed through large-scale agricultural machinery and high-standard farmland construction led by the civil affairs department.As a result, these people were freed from the day-to-day heavy farming and entered the workshop, army and civil administration system.

This means that the core position of the most important class of scholars in agricultural society has become no longer important, and their original cultural environment for building morality, speaking, and making meritorious service began to lose.

Some people are close to the core layer of Beihai Town and can often communicate with Zhao Xin and others, so they can accept the change and are trying their best to find their own position.For example, Wang Zhong and Jiang Tenglin; and some people are not so easy to accept because they are far away from the core layer.

Today's Lu Zigao is no longer the starving ghost who could eat five steamed buns for a meal when he first came to Beihai Town. Every day, he eats and drinks enough, and other desires gradually surface.With food, drink and money, the next step is to be a master raising concubines, servants and servants in a large courtyard.

The problem is that Beihai Town does not allow other two things except food, drink and clothing, which makes Lu Zigao's dissatisfaction deepen.After a long time, he missed the many benefits of the familiar system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Once he drank too much in a tavern in the town and complained a few words casually, but he was noticed by caring people.After going back and forth, when the other party confirmed that this is a guy who can be dragged into trouble, Lu Zigao has already fallen into the trap unknowingly.Then when the other party threw out the official position and silver rewards promised by the Qing Dynasty, Lu Zigao was moved.

In the huge wooden plank warehouse, hay bales neatly tied with hemp rope and sacks containing beans are piled up to a height of three meters.Several horse farm workers who had their hands and feet tied and their mouths strangled with ropes were lying in a dark corner, writhing uneasily.

"Brother, when will you do it?"

Dong Yulin said: "Wait a little longer, it's not completely dark yet. After a while, the four of you just drive your horses and rush out, while the others follow me and take advantage of the chaos to go around from the north and head straight for that man's house."

"Brother, what if that person is not at home?"

"Taking his family is also a great achievement."

A group of self-righteous thieves thought that what they did was watertight, and they had Lu Zigao as an insider, thinking that they could punish Zhao Xinlai no matter what.

The problem is, since the power plant in Beihai Town was officially put into operation and the power gap was resolved, Zhao Xin, who is well versed in the way of turtle flow, has installed cameras at every intersection in the town, inside and outside factories and warehouses, and in military camps, all of which are located on the west side of Beihai Town. The communication station at the foot of the mountain monitors in real time.

As the total population of Beihai Town exceeded 30, he knew that no matter whether it was Beihai Town or Fuldan City, there must be spies from the Qing Dynasty.In the Kong Konger murder case before, the murderer himself came by boat from northern Jiangsu. After the case was solved, he conducted a thorough investigation and found several of them.

When several of Dong Yulin's subordinates were working in the warehouse, they happened to be spotted by the staff on duty, and the security police who got the news quickly took action.

At this time, all the gossip cult thieves were still waiting in the warehouse for dark, while the security police in Beihai Town, with the cooperation of a company of Beihai Navy, had surrounded the entire racecourse and kept shrinking the encirclement.

In the deep dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the open space of the racecourse.In the mottled light and shadow, almost no one would notice that in the air tens of meters away, there were three black drones making a subtle buzzing sound.

Soon, Yalha, who was unconscious in the office, was first discovered by the security police who searched. A group of seven people rushed into the office and carried him to the hospital immediately.

"How many of them are there? How is Yalha's injury?" Zhao Xin, who came after hearing the news, did not expect that Jarha's rear foot would be injured as soon as he left.

Police Chief Katayama saluted him, and said in a deep voice: "Ten people are hiding in the feed warehouse. I guess they want to wait until it is completely dark before doing anything. Yalha has already been sent to the hospital. It is very heavy. This is my dereliction of duty, please punish me."

Deng Fei, who came over after hearing the news, persuaded: "Zhao Xin, we have too many people now, and a lot of messy people have mixed in, so we have to clean it up."

Zhao Xin's face was a little gloomy. At this moment, he was very glad that he had spent a lot of money on surveillance.

The past few years in Beihai Town have been going too smoothly. All the enemies were pressed to the ground and rubbed against the ground. Many people gradually lost their vigilance.However, only he himself knows that no matter whether it is in the eighteenth century or another time and space, if he makes a mistake, the huge situation will fall short.

Managing a region with a population of hundreds of thousands and an area of ​​millions of square kilometers is different from managing a large company, and I am still too immature.

"Director, everyone is in position and waiting for orders."

Hearing the voice from the wireless intercom, Katayama raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin said indifferently: "What to do, what to do, don't look at me."

Deng Fei on the side said: "Let them pay attention to the safety of the workers inside."

Katayama nodded, then picked up the communicator and gave the order to start action.

At the back door of the feed warehouse, twenty vigilantes with .357 caliber lever rifles stood on either side of the door, and in front of them were two guys holding a metal blast shield.

Following the gesture of the captain in charge, an extremely strong public security policeman took a 25kg door bumper imitated from the Beihai Town Iron and Steel Plant, rushed forward two steps, and then swung his arm vigorously, "click" With a sound, the lock on the back door of the warehouse was knocked open.

Immediately afterwards, the shieldman took cover in front, and other security police rushed in one after another.

"Drop your weapons, raise your hands and surrender!"

Just before the back door was about to be knocked open, Dong Yulin, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly jumped up from the ground.Just as the people around were about to speak, they saw him put his fingers on their lips, and they immediately understood.So several people drew out their knives one after another and hid behind the hay bales.Lu Zigao was so frightened that his face paled, he frantically extinguished the lantern, and jumped behind a pile of sacks, trembling uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the explosion-proof shield rushed in first. If there is no cover, whoever goes in first will be hit.

When two security guards holding shields just entered the door, two black shadows shot out from the shadows, "Boom! Boom!" They hit the shield made of thick aluminum alloy plate twice, and then fell to the ground. .

Immediately afterwards, a figure leaped down from a pile of hay bales, and a bright knife flashed, about to strike at the person who had just rushed in.

These gangsters who followed Dong Yulin had no way out. If they dared to return to Hunchun empty-handed, they would be beheaded immediately.Moreover, their family members are still imprisoned in Yili, so they cannot seek refuge in Beihai Town.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the flames flickered.The gangster who was about to attack fell directly to the ground, his thigh was broken by a shot, and he passed out from the pain.

(Don't be fooled by the movie, even if the vigilante is carrying a .50 caliber Barrett, the person who gets shot will not be sent flying backwards.)
Seeing that there was no way out, Dong Yulin shouted, "Rush out! Fight them!"

After he finished speaking, others jumped out and prepared to fight with the security police, but he himself slipped back towards the front door, unaware that all his movements were caught by the infrared camera on the roof of the warehouse.When Dong Yulin effortlessly removed the door latch weighing more than 30 jins and pulled open the door with all his might, he saw a sudden burst of light in front of him, and several bright lights hit him, making him unable to open his eyes.

"It's over! The spells of these rebels are even more powerful than the leader!" This was Dong Yulin's last thought before throwing away the dagger in his waist.
