The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 124 I want to rebel, I want to lead the way! (ask for monthly ticket)

"Boom boom boom"

"Is this Huangdao Street? Could it be that Changsha City has been breached?"

When the explosion sounded on Huangdao Street, Wang Kuiyi, who had just killed someone and escaped from prison, was walking aimlessly on a street near the Hunan Governor's Office with a weapon.

He has killed someone!

After killing the extra-staff servants in Prince Dun's mansion, there is no going back. It is impossible to be locked up and brought to the capital and handed over to the Ministry for punishment.

He killed people and escaped from prison, and he broke out from the governor's office!

There is probably no other traitor like this in the more than 200 years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, right?

The case has come to this point. If he is arrested, I'm afraid he will be tortured to death, right?
Moreover, when he killed people and escaped from prison, what he wanted to do was to rebel, to rebel against the Qing Dynasty! He wanted "righteous men to hold three-foot swords and chop off the tyrant's head when they rebel."

But the problem is that he has rebelled now, but he doesn't have a three-foot sword, only a dagger for suicide.

How to fight back with just a dagger?
There are more than 10,000 Qing soldiers in Changsha now, right? Killing 10,000 people with a dagger? It would be reckless for him to not have the ability to do so. It seems that this rebellion will not succeed!

And the failure of this counterattack seemed not to be the worst. The worst thing was that Wang Kuiyi had discovered that he had not brought any money when he went out!

He has no money to eat!

Well, others rebelled because they had no money to eat, but he starved to death because he forgot to take money when he went out to rebel! Fortunately, he had read the "Anti-Scripture". But the "Anti-Scripture" did not say that you should bring money when you go out to rebel!

This book is not practical. It is obvious that it was written by someone who has never rebelled.
When Wang Kuiyi was at his wit's end, there were continuous rumbles of thunder on Huangdao Street.

When Wang Kui turned his head, he saw flames coming out of Huangdao Street. Listening carefully, he seemed to hear bursts of shouting and the sound of gunfire!

Needless to say, it must be the Taiping Army that has entered the city!
Now that's good, I can join the Taiping Army. Finally, there is always a way out.

Thinking of this, Wang Kuiyi quickened his pace and headed towards the south of the city. Probably to show his determination to rebel, he took out the dagger again and jogged along with the dagger in his hand, looking like he had just killed someone and was now on the run.

It was unknown how far he had fled. When he was walking through a winding alley, he suddenly heard chaotic footsteps and a Hunanese voice: "Hurry up, hurry up, the governor's office is empty now."

Wang Kui was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself: "The governor's office is empty? What does that mean?"

While he was thinking, a group of strong men carrying axes, shoulder poles and lanterns came out from another alley and ran into him head-on!

This group of strong men are none other than Master Zhu Jiu's men. Their leader is named Zhang Tianzuo, and he's Master Zhu Jiu's eldest disciple, the right-wing vanguard of Chu Yitang, with double flowers and red sticks. He's also the boss of the Chao Zongmen dock workers. Now he's leading five hundred strong men to attack the Hunan Governor's Office!

Five hundred strong men attacking the governor's office is a bit weak. Not only are they few in number, but the goods they have are also not good enough. The dock workers only use axes and shoulder poles in the fight, not spears, muskets, or muzzle-loading cannons!
Now we have to fight the Hunan Fu Biao in the governor's office. What weapons do we have? There are so many people, how can we defeat them?
So after receiving this order, Zhang Tianzuo also felt that it was extremely unreliable, but Master Zhu Jiu told him that everything had been planned out and told him to go ahead and fight, as it would be foolproof.

I don't know what this plan is. Mr. Zhu doesn't say anything.
"Who are you?"

"Why are you walking around in the middle of the night with a knife in your hand? What do you want to do?"

When Zhang Tianzuo was worried, the disciple who was leading the way suddenly shouted. He looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue cloth gown and looking like a scholar standing at the entrance of the alley with a dagger in his hand. What was he doing? Blocking the road to rob? It wouldn't be possible for one person to stop five hundred strong men to rob them, right?
Zhang Tianzuo didn't understand what Wang Kuiyi was going to do, but Wang Kuiyi had figured out what this group of strong men were going to do.

At first glance, this group of strong men are obviously the rebels of the Tiandihui in Changsha City. They are going to cooperate with the Taiping Army outside to attack the city. They just said something like "the governor's office is empty", so are they going to attack the Hunan governor's office?
Regardless of whether they can take it down or not, it will definitely make Shengbao, Luo Bingzhang, Zuo Zongtang and others in a panic. Wang Kui thought: "I am now at a dead end, why not take a chance and lead them to raid the governor's office? If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement!"

Thinking of this, Wang Kuiyi glared and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Come with me. I'll take you through the back door into the governor's office!"

Zhang Tianzuo thought to himself, "Is this Master Jiu's plan?"

"I'm Zhang Tianzuo from Chao Sect. May I know what your name is, brother?" Zhang Tianzuo asked with a bow.

"I am Wang Kuiyi, the envoy of the Taiping Army." Wang Kuiyi did not dare to say more to this group of Tiandihui people. After telling a lie, he waved at them and said, "Follow me!"

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Wang, for leading the way!" Zhang Tianzuo also knew that the situation was urgent, so he asked Wang Kuiyi to lead the way immediately - it was important to capture the Governor's Office first!

"Rumble"

After a "thunder", Zhu Ba felt an invisible force rushing towards him, pushing him to the ground. His ears were still buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything for a while. He looked back and found that the Taiping Army brothers who rushed in with him were also lying on the ground. He didn't know if they were injured or alive.

He looked around and in front of him again, and found that Huangdao Street was full of smoke. He couldn't see anything clearly, but he could vaguely see people and cows lying on the street. There seemed to be a lot of unknown things piled up at the end of the street, blocking the road. From time to time, there were flames coming out of the houses on both sides of the street, which should be gunfire.
Seeing this, he roughly understood what happened?
He was ambushed by the Qing demon!
The Qing demons blocked Huangdao Street to prevent the Taiping Army from breaking through into the city. At the same time, they ambushed soldiers in the shops on the street and on the city walls, and prepared many bombs and muskets, which were fired at the street.

Fortunately, the ambushing Qing demons were a little blind, and dropped many bombs on the Qing army that fled into the city first. Moreover, it was still dark, and the Qing demons' musketeers were not well trained, and they couldn't shoot accurately in broad daylight, let alone now. Otherwise, Zhu Laoba and his brothers would be in trouble.

However, they are still suppressed by Qing Yao and cannot break through for the time being.

"Kill the Qing monsters! Go to heaven!"

A shout with a Guangxi accent interrupted Zhu Ba's thoughts. The voice came from outside the city. It was obvious that the two thousand old brothers from Guangxi led by Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang had arrived.

These two thousand old brothers from Guangxi were following behind the First Brigade of the previous army last night. They were conserving their energy, so they were not moving fast. They only arrived now, but they can immediately join the battle, which is still timely.

But Huangdao Street has been blocked, the houses on both sides and the city wall behind are all in the hands of the Qing monsters, no matter how many troops there are, they can't be deployed.
"The brigade commander has ordered us to seize the shops on the street!"

"The brigade commander has given the order. Each soldier should fight in pairs and seize the shops on the street!"

Just when Zhu Ba didn't know what to do, the order from Li Shixian, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Upper Army, had already come down.

Although Zhu Ba was promoted to brigade instructor, his combat experience was still insufficient and he could not compare with Li Shixian, an old Guangxi native who had fought all the way from Guangxi.

"Yes! Seize the shops. There can't be many Qing monsters hiding in the shops on the street. It's just right to seize them and use them as bases!" Zhu Ba was suddenly inspired, and his strength seemed to come back all at once. He didn't even bother to check if he was injured. He supported himself and climbed up. He raised the red flag that he had been holding tightly, waved it vigorously, and shouted: "Taiping Army, there is no retreat, brothers, follow me! Kill the Qing monsters and go to heaven!"

After shouting this, he raised a red flag and rushed towards a two-story shop where a red light had just flashed.

This shop was probably originally a restaurant, the door was closed, and between the first and second floors were several soldiers of the Eight Banners, shooting randomly with their muskets. Outside, the air was filled with smoke, the sky was not yet completely bright, and there was chaos and noise, so no one noticed that a strong Taiping soldier holding a red flag was about to break in.

"Dangdang!"

"Longhair, run!"

"Oh no, the long-haired one is coming."

Jin Aduo, who was loading ammunition into an old rifle made in the Kangxi period that he had found in the storeroom of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, suddenly heard the sound of a door being broken, followed by two panicked shouts coming from downstairs, and then the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs.
