Chapter 227 The moment of loyalty to the emperor
"Brother Hu, you have a good forehead."
"Yes, my sister-in-law is not afraid of making a mistake if she doesn't light the lamp at night."
"Haha."
In the laughter of his friends, Hu Jin giggled and touched the shiny skull of the braids and adjusted the gun on his back. It seemed that he was not used to the light forehead.
However, he couldn't help thinking too much about the horse convoy outside. He immediately opened the door with a gun on his back. Hundreds of carriages that had already gathered outside immediately poured into the warehouse area. Looking at these endless horse convoys coming and going every day, he couldn't help smiling at the corners of his mouth.
Since the Devins Yanghang suddenly came to Gongzhuling a few years ago and planted hundreds of thousands of mu of sweet potatoes and wheat, the surrounding farmers said that they were much better, and so did I. Not only was my younger brother was assigned to the foreign ash factory in the distance, but I was also selected to guard the granary of the security team. Now the two brothers add up every month. The salary of ten taels of silver not only built a tile house, but also the family was much more abundant. It was time for my younger brother to marry a daughter-in-law at the end of the year.
This day has finally come to an end!
In fact, it's not only him, but everyone in the granary feels the same way. Although in the past few days, everyone didn't know that he came here to farm and grow grain, and opened a ash factory. Devins Yanghang is just a cover. In fact, it is a business of the Pacific Army, but everyone has no resistance. In fact, he knows everyone's thoughts, who will feed them. If you give money, just follow whoever you do it.
Nowadays, many young people in the foreign ash factory have cut off the braids. He also gritted his teeth yesterday and cut the braids with his brother, which made his old father nagging for half a night.
Hu Jin took a breath and was about to hide in the doorman and stare for a while. Suddenly, a messy sound of horses' hoofs suddenly woke him up. Didn't the horse convoy come in? How come there are so many horseshoes?
Not only him, but also several security team partners guarding the granary around them also stopped to look far away. Hundreds of war horses suddenly appeared in the distance, and the horses were full of men dancing with guns covered with their faces.
No one in the northeast who has been familiar with this kind of scene all year round. Hu Jin was suddenly excited and shouted nervously.
"It's a horse bandit!"
" Seal the gate and be careful of them rushing in!"
A few shouts suddenly made the horse convoy that had just entered the granary area nervous. Even the workers who were carrying a bag of grain hung their hearts. Because this is a heavy grain warehouse, although tens of thousands of loads of grain have been stored in the past two years, most of them have been transported away in the past two months, and in order to protect here, there are 50 back guns. The security guards and high walls are enough to resist bullets. Horse bandits who rely on a few broken guns alone can't get down at all, so everyone is not too afraid.
In addition, Gongzhuling is not far from Changchun. As long as you can persist for a period of time, you can get the support of the Pacific Army, which often patrols in this area. Therefore, Hu Jin and everyone quickly climbed the wall and prepared for battle according to their usual training. At the same time, several cavalry rushed out of the small door to ask for help from Changchun.
As the horse bandits got closer and closer, the gunfire finally sounded. The dense gunfire hit the protective wall and made a chirping sound. When Hu Jin just knocked down a Hu bandit and aimed at the next one with a gun, the corners of his eyes were suddenly attracted by the things in the hands of the front Hu bandits.
"Grenade!"
Hu Jin shouted suddenly. He would never admit his mistake, because when the Pacific Army patrol passed by here yesterday, he saw the soldiers carrying this thing, but he didn't expect to see it on the horse bandits!
Without waiting for Hu Jin to think too much, the horse bandit rushed out of the wall and suddenly threw a grenade. He only heard a series of explosions. After he only felt a hot pain in his chest, he suddenly fell on the wall. He closed his eyes and saw that the thick wooden door in the warehouse area was lifted by a series of explosions, and countless horse bandits crowded. After entering, I completely lost consciousness.
Kill!
As the horse bandits let out a ghost cry, they rushed into the factory and aimed at the workers who were loading and unloading. Suddenly, the whole warehouse area exploded, and everyone fled one after another. However, these horse bandits did not seem to come to grab food at all. Instead, they killed when they saw people and burned when they saw the house. In less than a moment, the whole granary area ignited a raging fire.
Until they finally left, the granary area was already covered with blood, full of dead bodies and charred houses. After several loaders who narrowly escaped climbed out of the ruins, they were so scared that they no longer dared to stay and rushed away from the hell on earth--
"Ban!"
Zhao Long slapped on the table. Suddenly, the tea was sprinkled, and the cigarette rolled around. The orderly beside him was so scared that he closed his mouth hard.
As the commander of the army and the deputy chief of staff of the Pacific Army, he is in charge of nearly 100,000 new troops, but he watched the horse bandits run rampant, which made him angry.
In fact, as early as the beginning of his decision to return to Liaodong, Li Mo quietly sent Night Eagle back to Liaodong. On the one hand, he collected intelligence and cooperated with the factories secretly invested in Honolulu to intensify the infiltration and layout. On the other hand, he also had the task of exploring the division of forces in the three provinces, in order to take over the northeast safely in the future.
In history, the most severe trouble of bandits in Northeast China was in the late period of the First Sino-Japanese War. At that time, it crossed North Korea and infiltrated the northeast. In addition, Russia also entered the Northeast with the credit of Liaoning. Although the two countries did not go to war directly, they chose to consume the enemy to expand their influence by supporting bandits and supporting weapons.
The arrival of Li Mo made Japan's defeat and had to shrink North Korea and consolidate this bridgehead with all its strength. He didn't care about the opposite side of the Yalu River at all. Although the Russians had the intention, they had not yet started, they broke the halberd and sink into the sand, so the northeast bandits had not yet reached the most serious level.
After the Pacific Army entered the northeast, after ending the main battle against Russia, it used the information collected by the Night Eagle to clean up once, almost completely eliminating the main horse bandits in various places. The rest was either hiding in the deep mountains and not daring to show up, or some small fish and shrimp could not become the climate.
But I didn't expect that a horse bandit attacked the granary in Gongzhuling this time, resulting in the burning of more than 20,000 loads of grain reserves. What's more, the horse bandits attacked Changchun City. Although the gathering place of grain merchants was outside the city, you should know that the horse bandits in the three provinces did not even want to touch the Qing officer's mansion. Why did they suddenly dare to fight? What about defeating Japan and Russia and ceding the Pacific Army in the three northeastern regions?!
The Pacific Army is not a foreign race. The same clan and ancestors are all descendants of Yan and Huang. Therefore, after coming here, in addition to fear and curiosity, it did not cause the rejection of the people. Coupled with strict discipline, there has been a lot of fear recently, so this attack is even more surprising.
After slapping most of his anger, Zhao Long also calmed down a little. Judging from the intelligence, the scale of the horse bandits is not very large, but the threat is not small. Now the police force formed by the State Council is still being prepared, so the public security in the three provinces must be borne by the garrison for the time being.
It seems that some people are really tired of living!
Zhao Long Baiya asked, "Is the cavalry regiment ready?"
"The horses and guns are in place, but there is still a problem with running-in." The staff officer said immediately.
Zhao Long lit a cigarette. The cavalry regiment was established in the former Liaodong Reading Camp. In order to improve the power of the troops as soon as possible, Zhao Long transferred almost all the veterans who could ride horses, and also threw in more than a thousand cavalry brought by the Shoushan brothers, so it was the first of the eight regiments to complete the formation.
The horse bandits are not ordinary bandits. The northeast is vast and sparsely populated. Now it's winter again. The road is difficult, and only the cavalry can deal with those bastards, so there is almost no thought. Zhao Long fiercely extinguished the cigarette butts and walked out of the office--
The big bed squeaked, and bursts of sobbing moans kept coming out of the curtain. It was not until a heavy gasp sounded that the bed stopped trembling and the room slowly returned to calm.
After a while, Toushan opened the curtain and came out with satisfaction. He turned his head and looked at the white body that shrank into a ball at the foot of the bed, and a ferocious smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
After slowly putting on his clothes, he pushed the door open and walked out. There were two ronin in two samurai swords standing outside the door. When he saw him coming out, he couldn't help smiling obscenely.
Listening to the same moan in the next room, Toushan touched his head and said with a gloomy smile, "Go, this is Liu Jun's favorite concubine. It tastes great. Go and enjoy it."
The warrior listened to the foot of the bed outside for a long time. When he heard the words of the head mountain, he could not resist it and immediately rushed into the room. In a while, there were bursts of screams and the impact of meat and silk.
Listening to the beautiful sound, Tou Shan laughed and then walked to the front hall.
In the hall, Uchida Liangping sat quietly cross-legged next to him with his eyes closed, with his forged samurai sword on his knees, and the scabbard was like on his back, embroidered with a dragon with teeth and claws.
Next to him, Yuanjiro Akashi was completely opposite. Sitting next to him was like an inconspicuous servant, but Toushan Man knew that his appearance and mind were too far apart.
Toyama looked at the samurai sword in Uchida Ryohei's hand. He didn't understand why Uchida Ryohei liked the totem of the Chinese people so much. It seemed that the samurai sword of this empire should be engraved with the eight different gods.
However, he knows the surname of Uchida Ryohei. Unless he is willing to tell you, no one can take out half a word from his mouth, so he will never ask what should not be asked, which is why he can stand on the Xuanyang Society.
The sound of footsteps made Uchida Ryohei slowly open his eyes and looked at the head mountain that came in. The sharp light in the eagle's eyes flashed by and turned his head and said, "Mr. Mingshi, do you really think that the Pacific Army will be mobilized by a horse bandit?"
Akashi Yuanjiro closed his eyes and slowly opened them after a while: "This is a rare winter. Li Mo and his generals never hope that when they are about to go to war with the Empire, they will lack a stable northeast, so they will mobilize troops to Qing army bandits at all costs, so I believe that their army at this moment The team is already on the road ahead of Jilin.
"But there are tens of thousands of them. As long as they send 5,000 people, they can deal with bandits. The guard on the peninsula is still very strong." Ryohei Uchida continued to ask.
"Yes, but don't forget, Mr. Uchida, they need to defend the Yalu River!" Akishi Motojiro was just about to continue to explain to Uchida Ryohei. Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hoofs came from the outside. He suddenly stood up and said sharply: "Gentlemen, it's time for us to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Cang."
A crisp dragon Yin came out from the scabbard on Uchida Ryohei's knee. Looking at the dazzling silver on the half-pulled knife, Uchida Ryohei suddenly stood up: "Mr. Toushanman, gather everyone out!"
"Hi!"
