Chapter 1720 Huang Erye, who lived in exile in Guangzhou
While he was frightened and fearful, he heard the faint sound of running in the morning light. He immediately widened his eyes. After a while, a group of Australian soldiers ran neatly from the street, although there were only more than 30 people, but The imposing manner of them running in unison with firecrackers with dangling bayonets frightened him.I couldn't help but feel relieved: It's finally here!

He immediately said: "Quick! Open the gate of Inner Moon City and welcome the army to take over!"

People from all walks of life entering Guangzhou from the east of the city did not encounter large-scale resistance.Only sporadic fighting broke out in a few locations.Most of them were suppressed by the local "leading the way party" without the hands of the Fubo army.Lin Baiguang hinted to the "leading party" in the city beforehand: don't be afraid of killing people.And the leading party members themselves are eager to show their "loyalty" to their new masters with blood.As a result, people were killed everywhere, and incidents of "leading the way party" taking the opportunity to kill in order to vent their personal anger appeared in many places.Sometimes the party leading the way also had internal strife and fought with each other. In the end, the victor insisted that the dead person was an "undercover agent".

The scouts from the General Reconnaissance Bureau and the special agents from the Ministry of Urban Industry have already controlled the gates and the main commanding heights in the city in advance, and arranged personnel to "lead the way" at each intersection. At 1635 o'clock in the morning on March 3, 1, the 7th Battalion of Infantry and the 4st Brigade of the 1st Expeditionary Team of the Navy smoothly entered all the key points inside and outside of Guangzhou City as planned: city gates, government offices, warehouses, bell and drum towers, docks...all established The outpost was closed, and martial law began throughout the city. Of the eighteen gates in the city, only four were opened for citizens and the people of the four townships to enter and exit.Members of the "Security Team" of the Ministry of Urban and Industrial Affairs cooperated with soldiers of the Fubo Army to check pedestrians at the gates of these four cities.The Teaching Brigade and the No. 1 and No. 1 Squadrons of the Guangdong Corps of the National Army departed from Hong Kong, and then entered Guangzhou.After they entered the city, they immediately patrolled the streets under the leadership of the staff of the Ministry of Urban Construction to prevent people from taking advantage of fire to rob.

Just after 7 o'clock, the gunboat Zhenhai of the Hong Kong base set off rolling waves, accompanied by more than a dozen large boats, and sailed along the Pearl River into Baietan. .Compared with the steam tugboats that Guangzhou citizens are already familiar with, the appearance of this "tall" "giant ship" caused panic among the surrounding people.I saw Zhenhai dropping its anchor in Baietan while puffing out black smoke, and the gleaming blue "cannon" turned its heavy body together, pointing the muzzle at Wuyang City.

Everyone in Guangzhou is familiar with Guo Yi Guo Dongzhu's Octopus yacht. The paddle wheels of the yacht plucked the river water, pulled the whistle and drove over from behind, and slowly approached the Tianzi Wharf on the East Bank of Baietan.

From Tianzi Wharf to Wuyangyi and Nanguan, there are densely packed soldiers with live ammunition along the road.The bayonet gleamed coldly in the spring sun, and the Venus flag fluttered in the slightly chilly river wind in early spring, creating a chilling scene.

Next to the reception booth, Guangzhou station master Guo Yi is waiting.He had already cut off the bun he had kept for many years, changed his long gown, shaved off his beard, and returned to his previous appearance.

From the first day he arrived in Guangzhou, he has imagined the day he left office many times. Six years is not a short period of time in the journey of life.Now, his successor is coming.

The gangway bridge for boarding was lowered from the Octopus, and a bugler in white sailor uniform stood by the gangway and blew the bugle.

As soon as the bugle sounded, Liu Xiang, the newly appointed director of the Guangzhou Military Control Commission, appeared proudly in the eyes of everyone.As soon as he stepped onto the gangway bridge, a "Military Band" trained by drummers at the pier began to play "Salute to You, Comrade Commander".

Liu Xiang stretched out his hand to Guo Yi who had already met him, and the two held hands tightly.Liu Xiang originally prepared a set of words, but now he only said one sentence: "You have worked hard!"

"I will trouble you in the future!" Guo Yi said.Although I am a land pioneer, the situation I am facing is far less complicated than that of Liu Xiang. The only advantage is that Liu Xiang is now the local emperor here.

The two stopped exchanging pleasantries, so the new Guangzhou government could not be located on Huifu Street. In fact, the Senate had no intention of setting up an administrative agency in the old city of Guangzhou, but planned to build a new city.The administrative center is also intended to be located there.

The temporary headquarters of the Military Control Commission is located in Dashijie.However, considering that the military control committee has a lot of external liaison work, the external "window" is set at Wuyangyi outside Tianzi Wharf.Liu Xiang and his team will also be temporarily stationed here so that they can arrange work nearby.

The inn was burned down by rockets during the Battle of the Pearl River a few years ago, and it was rebuilt later. At this time, the inn has been taken over, cleaned up, and is waiting for the arrival of the new owner.

During this period of time, Huang Erye was in an extremely depressed mood.The so-called "thinking about relatives every festive season" is really not wrong at all.When he came out of Lingao's house, he also thought in his heart that it would be difficult to return home in the future.However, when it came to the New Year's Eve, seeing all the friends go home to celebrate the New Year, and some people on the street were making new clothes and buying new year's goods, the bitterness in Huang Erye's heart became more and more unbearable day by day.It's not that he didn't think about it, he wanted to disguise himself and go back to Lingao to meet his parents, Gao Tang.However, despite the objections of his family members, he came out for a long time and got nothing.In case the thieves know about my words and deeds in Guangzhou, the family will be greatly implicated.He can't go back to his family, so he has to stay in Guangzhou as a loner.There were also one or two friends who invited them to their home to celebrate the New Year, but after all, he was quite uncomfortable as an outsider, and he was afraid that people who didn't know his details would see him not coming home, which would cause shocking comments.

"Master Huang! Master Huang!"

There was a rush of voices, and Huang Tinkun turned over, feeling in a daze that someone was pushing him, as if it was his servant.He groaned a few times, then fell asleep drowsily again, because he was still hungover last night, and his mind was in a daze at the moment.Three poles in the sun are still lying high in the lower place.

Huang Erye has been out for a long time, and he was going to run out of money gradually, but fortunately, friends from all walks of life have some kind of support, so it is not a problem to buy some good wine and side dishes every day during the Chinese New Year.With Lin Zunxiu's sent-off servant by his side, life is finally going well for the time being.Years ago, he had agreed with everyone that when the weather warmed up and the roads became paved, he would go north, either to the south, or to the capital, to see if he could mobilize court officials to "make early plans" against the bandits.Someone has already promised to write a book for his teacher, so that they can take care of Huang Erye more.Lin Zunxiu and others promised to donate some money for his "pleading".Now that the plan was made, and it was the New Year's Eve, Huang Erye had nothing to do and nowhere to go, so he sent a servant to fix the food and drinks for him, so he could just stay in his room and have a " Use wine to drown your sorrows and make your sorrows worse."

"Brother Huang! Brother Huang, get up!" The voice changed and became more urgent.He forced his sleepy eyes to open, only to see a man in front of him in a daze, looking at him anxiously.

He shook his head, rubbed his eyes again, and recognized that this was Wu Yi from Yuyuan Society.

"Brother Wu, why are you so panicked?"

"A major event has happened this time! The Kun people have entered the city!"

"Kunren?...!" Second Master Huang was startled and sat up from the bed. "Really?"

"I've seen it with my own eyes. There's nothing wrong with it! The Kun soldiers entered the city in the middle of the night, and they took over the whole city silently. Now the streets are full of Kun soldiers."

It took Huang Tingkun a while to understand the meaning of the other party's words.Suddenly, he felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his body was trembling uncontrollably. It was precisely "a punch opened the top of the sky, and half a bucket of cold water was poured down".

"Okay... what a thief!" Huang Tikun's voice was also trembling.

"Young Master Lin invited me to go to his place to discuss big plans. Brother Huang can wash up immediately, and we will go together."

"It's so good. But, the soldier is on the street, how can I get out?"

"The Kun man did not strictly enforce the city ban, and now the streets are very quiet, as long as he does not leave the city, passers-by will not be questioned."

Huang Tinkun thought about it, the gangster always acted loosely on the outside and tightened on the inside, and the "stable and peaceful situation" on the surface always had to be maintained.He nodded immediately, "Brother Wu, please wait, let me wash and change clothes."

Immediately, he hurriedly washed and changed his clothes, and didn't even care about eating breakfast. He just told the servant: "Stay here and watch it. Don't go out."

When I went out of the room, I saw the monks in the temple like ants on a hot pot, circling around, but they didn't know what to do.Seeing that Huang Tikun was about to go out, Zhike hurriedly said: "Benefactor! Now the situation on the street is unclear, so don't go out."

But Wu Ni said: "It's okay, there is no market ban outside, otherwise how would I come here? The Australians sent troops to patrol the streets, and the market is also very quiet, and there are no young people making trouble."

Seeing that they were determined to go, the monk opened a small door in a side alley and let them go out.

Walking to the street, there are few pedestrians on the street, every house along the road is closed, and no shop is open.The streets are deserted.Huang Tikun regretted Meng Lang a little bit: walking on the street like this is too eye-catching!In case of being interrogated by the thieves patrol, how would I answer?

However, after walking along the street for a while, he didn't meet any of the bandits, and his heart was a little more at ease.Wu Ni is an old land in Guangzhou, and he is very familiar with the streets and alleys here, so they walked through alleys and side streets all the way, avoiding main roads.Seeing the patrol team of the thieves, they hid in the alley before leaving.Stopping and stopping like this, it didn't take much effort to reach an alley.

Huang Tingkun saw that there was no house in this alley, and there were high walls on both sides with some small doors.I know this is about the backyard of a big family.I saw Wu Bi knocked on one of the doors a few times, the door opened, and they slipped in cleanly.The one who opened the door inside was a man wearing a green turban—a turtle slave.He couldn't help being startled, and asked, "Where is this place?"

"Visiting Spring Garden."
