Chapter 88 Control the situation
The plan of Xingdi's side attack achieved good results. Although the revolutionary party was in a style, the patrol battalion was a little overwhelmed after attacking from two directions. In addition, the revolutionary party prepared a large number of bombs, which was a powerful weapon for street fighting. Even if it could not kill and injure the enemy, it could still leave a huge impact on the other party's heart.
There was a loud bang, and in the midst of the noise, the patrol battalion did not know how many revolutionary parties were attacked by the two groups. In addition, Huang Xing had good shooting skills and had already shot four people in a row, which made the officers and soldiers frightened and retreated one after another. At this time, the fire in the Governor's Office was getting stronger and stronger. The patrol battalion had neither Zhang Mingqi nor Li Zhun's command. Although there were sentry officials trying their best to maintain it, it was already in chaos.
It was about to be done, but he was stunned by the bullets on the other side, and it hit Huang Xing's right hand without any bias. The bullet broke Huang Xing's middle and index fingers on the spot. The pain made him unable to hold the gun. He fell to the ground, and his whole palm was covered in blood and blood.
"Keqiang, you are injured!" Zhu Zhixin was shocked when he saw this and hurried over to check.
"Don't worry about me, command comrades, rush."
"Okay!" Zhu Zhixin roared, "Comrades, come with me!"
After rushing for two steps, Zhu turned around and supported Huang Xing: "Keqiang, you are very injured, I'll bandage you first."
Huang Xing originally wanted to blame him for returning, but when he thought about the friendship between the other party's comrades, he swallowed the words again. The two of them avoided a silk shop. It was probably because of the firefight. Both the boss and the guy had already escaped. It happened that the store door was not closed tightly, which gave the two a place to hide. As soon as they entered, they suddenly heard gunfire outside, mixed with a large number of northern accents: "Brothers, don't leave the revolutionary party."
"Kill!" The gunshots were mixed with a large number of "twist" sounds.
"Not good!" Huang and Zhu screamed at the same time. The soldiers of the patrol battalion were all natives in Guangdong Province and usually spoke Cantonese. Even the new army, except for some officers, also had Cantonese accents. Where did so many northern accents come from? The mixed "TuTuTu" sound made Huang Xing's face darker. "It's bad!"
Calm down and listen carefully. Sure enough, the voices of the revolutionary comrades who had been shouting were getting louder and louder, and replaced by the increasingly fierce gunfire - this is by no means the sound of the fierce battle between the two armies. The revolutionary party does not have such a fierce firepower!
"Keqiang! What should I do?"
"Didn't Hu Yisheng block the reinforcements?" Huang Xing yelled, "How long has it been after a long time to lose? There is not even a person who reported the news?"
"What should we do?"
"Let's go, take a look." With a stinging sound, Huang Xing had bitten open the cloth strip with his mouth and wrapped his right hand around.
"No. Haven't you heard the sound of searching for revolutionary parties all over the streets?" Zhu Zhixin thought in a hurry, "Hurry, hurry, change your clothes."
"That's all." The two changed their clothes, disguised themselves as businessmen, and sneaked out to check the movements.
After turning a few turns, I only saw a large group of people running back and forth, concentrating, looking at the clothes and equipment, all of which were unprecedented troops.
"Where did it come from?" Huang Xing did not dare to speak. He could only ask with his eyes. Zhu Zhixin shook his head and said that according to his understanding, there was no such force. Looking forward, it seemed that there could be vaguely seen inside. His face could not be seen clearly, but Huang Xing saw clearly that his foot was wearing vinyl overshoes - he was indeed a comrade of the revolutionary party.
The rain was still drizzling, but it was clearly raining with blood, and it was bright red on the ground. Huang Xing could no longer hold it back, and tears burst out from his eyes. Zhu Zhixin forced himself to hold back his grief, pulled Huang Xing and walked around the streets and alleys, and rushed to a secret agency in the suburbs of the south bank of the Pearl River. There, a female member of the League, Xu Zonghan, was maintaining it. Seeing the situation of the two, he understood everything. After hurriedly wrapping Huang Xing's wounds, he said, "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I will send you to Hong Kong."
"It's all up to you." Huang and Xu got to know each other here, and later became husband and wife again, and remained unswerving until death.
Huang Xing and Zhu Zhixin finally saved their lives, and the other members of the same suicide squad were not so lucky. They were surrounded and divided by the Marines who were moving into the city quickly. Although the revolutionary party was brave, most of them were not military talents after all, and their combat effectiveness could not compete with the Marines who were as powerful as tigers and wolves. They were defeated in a few seconds. Except for a very small number of them who escaped by luck like Huang Xing, the rest were either shot dead by the officers and soldiers on the spot, or were injured and arrested, and then died in prison.
Fang Shengdong's uprising army was not better than Hu Yisheng and Huang Xing. When he just led his team to attack the Supervision and Training Office, the patrol battalion was tracked down. As a result, Fang was shot and killed on the spot, and the remaining revolutionaries were either injured or dispersed. Chen Jiongming took action a little late during Huang Xing's uprising. As a result, he found that the battle situation took a sharp turn. He immediately gave up his mission and led his troops to escape from the city. Then he left the large army and fled back to Hong Kong.
It was not until around 7 p.m. that the chaotic situation in Guangzhou was controlled, and the revolutionary party was purged. Except for the Governor's Office being attacked by the suicide squad, the other targets of the uprising were not achieved. The patrol battalion did not arise anyway, and the new army that "approved" many revolutions did not rise up to respond. Occasionally, someone wanted to launch it, and immediately restrained it by the leader of the team. The revolutionary party prepared a lot of things. After fierce battles, the Guangzhou riot was extinguished by the Marines of the Divine Soldiers and the Patrol Battalion. Lin Juemin, Fang Shengdong, Luo Jin and other 257 revolutionaries were killed on the spot, and more than 80 revolutionaries were injured and arrested. Only less than a quarter of the people escaped by chance.
The Marines also paid a considerable price in this battle, with 6 people killed and 11 injured to varying degrees. Although the number is absolutely not high, considering that each of them is the elite among the elite, Sa Zhenbing still feels heartbroken.
After quelling the Revolutionary Rebellion, the Marine Corps' mission was not over. From time to time, one or two cold guns were fired in the streets and alleys of Guangzhou City. Except for a very small number of officers and soldiers who were pursuing the Revolutionary Party, the rest were fired by the Marine Corps to maintain order.
Sazhen gave a death order, "Anyone who dared to take advantage of the chaos will be killed without mercy." The power of the revolutionary party has just subsided.
The nature of the land began to be exposed, and taking advantage of the opportunity of hunting down the revolutionary party to extort women. This was an almost inevitable process in the past. Only after the entire order was settled, these people would restrain themselves. But this time, the Marines saw the bad sheep doing evil and did not listen after warnings, and shot them on the spot. You are not polite. Those gangsters who originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos also suffered. There were only a few who died at the hands of the Marines. The number of people was even hundreds of.
This fierce battle was so dark that it was not until 9 o'clock in the night that Zhang Mingqi, who was hiding beside him, was found by the Marine Corps and was taken to Sa Zhenbing.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" The wails were everywhere inside and outside, and everyone frowned. Li Zhun was extremely embarrassed. He heard that this was Zhang Mingqi, who abandoned the old husband, wives and concubines, and children just ran away. Sa Zhenbing was angry, "Zhang Mingqi!" and scolded sternly, "Have you cried enough?"
"Ah?" Zhang Mingqi looked up and saw that it was Li Zhun and Sa Zhenbing. He immediately got up quickly. His expression, who had just begged for death, suddenly became cheerful and excited. "Master Sa, Lord Li... you..." He wanted to use words to block his ugly appearance just now, but he was embarrassed for a long time. He had no nerve to say it. He had to say: "Thank you... thanks to the two of you for leading the army to suppress Guangzhou City... and save the people of Guangzhou."
"Hmph, you still have the face to say it!" Sa Zhenbing cursed with all his head and face. "The disaster in Guangzhou City caused Xiao Jiang. As the governor, it was simply dereliction of duty. After the revolutionary party came in, you ran away. It was so embarrassing just now. Where was the prestige? What was the dignity? It was simply a politeness to ruin the floor!"
In terms of official titles, Sa Zhenbing is the same as Zhang Mingqi, and even generally thinks that the governor is a little higher. Sa Zhenbing scolds him so much and scolds him on Li Zhun. Zhang Mingqi is a little embarrassed and opens his mouth to defend him. It's just that the incident happened suddenly, caught off guard, etc., and his tone has changed from soft to hard, not as pitiful as before, and almost shows the governor's majesty again.
"You bastard!" Sa Zhenbing was furious, "passing the imperial edict."
"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor ordered: Special commissions of the Minister of National Defense and Admiral Sa Zhenbing as the imperial envoy to quell the rebellion in Guangdong, and grants Shangfang a sword to take over the military and civilian affairs. When there are illegal people, the governor will be appointed as the governor and the people, and they can be executed first and then reported, or they can be dismissed at will, without any requests to report..."
"The person who came here took Zhang Mingqi's petal and reported it to the cabinet for punishment."
"Sir Sa, ah...Sir Sa." Zhang Mingqi was so angry that he trembled all over, "You...you...who gave you such courage?"
"The imperial edict is clearly stated, it is the emperor." Sa Zhenbing was not vague at all, "Please take care of it, don't let him run away. Zhang Mingqi, I will tell you honestly, be honest with me, and when you return to the capital, you still have a place to plead, otherwise I will stab you to death with one knife now, and even the sword of Shangfang is not needed - Zhang Mingqi died at the hands of the revolutionary party, would he die for his life?"
Li Jun was sweating profusely, so he didn't dare to interrupt. He looked at Zhang Mingqi being yelled and was taken down by Sa Zhenbing.
"Li Jun."
"I am not a good job." Li Jun shivered and fell to his knees on the ground.
"Is the patrol battalion your subordinate?"
“Yes, yes.”
"Don't know the revolutionary party is going to rebel?"
"Listen... I heard a little wind, but I didn't find it out, I..."
"The patrol battalion did not suppress the revolutionary party, but instead took advantage of the situation to rob. Is this your soldier?"
"I...I..." Li Zhun was anxious and climbed two steps before hugging Sa Zhenbing's thigh. "Master, Da Zheng, Bei Zhi is not good at governing the country. Bei Zhi is wrong! For the sake of his loyalty for many years, he will give Bei Zhi a chance to reform himself."
"How can I do an errand?" Sa Zhenbing was angry, but Li Jun thought about it. Sa Zhenbing was not as ruthless as Zhang Mingqi, and immediately burst into tears. "Bei Zhi was assassinated by the revolutionary party over the years, and it was all due to the protection of these subordinates. He also had the intention to indulge them. Bei Zhi was not strict in governing the army, and deserved to die, deserve to die!"
This is barely a reason.
"Get up, I didn't think about doing you, but..." Sa Zhenbing's voice increased eighth, "If you can't control the situation tomorrow and there are still people who do evil, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Yes!" Hearing Sa Zhenbing's release, Li Jun seemed to have walked back from the gate of ghosts, and a big stone fell to the ground.
"Sir, the city defense has been controlled, and the brothers are maintaining order at present." Zhou Wei came to report.
"Shrink your troops and hand over the city defense to the patrol battalion. Li Zhun has been beaten by me and should be able to know each other." Sa Zhenbing only breathed a sigh of relief at this time, "The emperor's magical idea, but unfortunately he was still one step late. How can he explain to the people if he has such a situation?"
"Your Madam doesn't have to worry too much. This dispatch has been arranged. If it is a few more hours late, I'm afraid that Guangzhou City will change its ownership. And if the new army is involved, it will be too difficult to suppress the rebellion with the Marine Corps." Zhou Wei comforted Sa Zhenbing, "Your Madam has done his best, and the emperor can also explain it."
The emperor did not pay attention to the vague report of Zhang Ming's new army turmoil, but after receiving the information about Qi being assassinated, he was uneasy for several days. Suddenly recalling the "Huanghuagang Uprising", he was so scared that he was sweating. Considering that the new army in Guangzhou had been infiltrated and the patrol battalion was not known, Lin Guangyu was anxious. After thinking about it, he had to hand over the task to Sa Zhenbing and use the Marines to quell the possible unrest. He originally planned to let the navy take the initiative and destroy the revolutionary party's affairs in advance, but he did not expect to hurry up and start it on the same day, otherwise he would be almost embarrassed.
