The Republic of Heroes

Chapter 368 Procrastination

The iron cannon weighing hundreds of kilograms really exploded, and it was blown to pieces from the root. One of the regiment members who operated the cannon was hit on the head by the fragments and died on the spot. After hearing the news, Sun Baiguang jumped up and scolded his mother angrily.

"A bunch of idiots, idiots!"

These regiments have never used iron cannons, wishful thinking that filling more gunpowder will increase the power of the cannon, and never want to charge too much powder, which will cause the chamber to explode.After Sun Baiguang lost his temper, he thought that the delay was too long, and in order to prevent changes from happening later, it was better to take down the compound as soon as possible, so he planned to order people to attack by force regardless of the cost.At this time, a group member came to report:

"The courtyard sent someone to negotiate, did you see the leader?"

"negotiation?"

Sun Baiguang hesitated. After weighing the pros and cons for a while, he thought it better to talk about it. It would be a good thing if he could win the provincial government compound at the least cost. After all, he had to pay for the pensions of these dead people to their families out of his own pocket.

"Is it the one surnamed Wu who came to negotiate? Bring him to see me!"

When the negotiator was brought into the tea shed, Sun Baiguang was really taken aback. This person was Zhu Wusheng, the puppet county magistrate whom he emptied out.He smiled contemptuously:

"Who am I supposed to be? It turns out that it's County Magistrate Zhu. I'm sorry to welcome you!" Although the words were polite, there was no sense of respect in his tone. He still sat firmly at the tea table, not even bothering to bow his body. They didn't even arrange a seat for Zhu Wusheng.

Facing Sun Baiguang's many neglects, Zhu Wusheng just smiled lightly. So many years of forbearance have allowed him to hide his true inner feelings well, otherwise he would not have been able to hold the position of Linzi county magistrate for so long.The former county magistrates of Linzi County were either kidnapped and killed by bandits, or were sentenced for corruption. No one knows whether Sun Baiguang’s credit was behind this, but he was the only county magistrate who was obedient. for so long.

"My humble servant came to negotiate with Commander Sun on the order of Commander Wu..."

"Zhu Wusheng! You have to understand that this is not a negotiation. I am giving you an ultimatum. If you want to survive, I will give you a way: First, the person surnamed Wu and his provincial government must move out of Linzi City immediately. He is not welcome. Second, the surname Wu must compensate me for the death and injury pension of my brothers, and there must be no less. Third, he must apologize in the newspaper. He has ruined my reputation in Linzi, so we can’t just let it go..."

Sun Baiguang interrupted Zhu Wusheng bluntly and made a series of demands.The more Zhu Wusheng listened, the more angry he became. How could Sun Baiguang be so stupid?Not to mention whether the provincial government can be moved, whether the pension can be compensated, such things as publishing in the newspaper are absolutely unacceptable, it is simply nonsense.But there was still a smile on his face.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I will go back and convey what you mean, and I will definitely come back within half an hour to give you an explanation. I also ask Captain Sun to wait a while, please restrain his subordinates, and do not launch an attack during this time."

Sun Baiguang listened to Zhu Wusheng's speech as before, as respectfully and nicely as before, and did not neglect him in the slightest because he flattered the provincial chairman.He waved his hand impatiently, "Go and come back, one minute late, you don't have to come back"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go back now..."

Sure enough, nearly half an hour later, Zhu Wusheng hurried back again, but with a sad face.Seeing Sun Baiguang, he spread his hands.

"Commander Sun, Commander Wu has orders..."

Sun Baiguang once again rudely interrupted him: "Fucking Ling, what did he say? If he agrees to my condition, we can talk, if you don't agree, you can get out!"

Zhu Wusheng has long been accustomed to Sun Baiguang's behavior, so he forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart as before.

"I promised, but I promised, but I didn't agree to everything. It's okay to lose money, but the provincial government's move out of Linzi and the announcement of an apology in the newspaper are two things that I will never agree to."

"That's a fart, come here and throw him out!"

Zhu Wusheng was forcibly carried out by the regiments. As soon as he entered the provincial government compound, Sun Bu's regiment launched a strong attack on the back. This offensive and defensive battle was more tragic than ever before, and the guards even rushed into the courtyard together. The enemy launched hand-to-hand combat, and there were a large number of casualties. The situation was extremely pessimistic. Wu Xiaoliang began to worry, whether Li Zejun could reach Liuzhuang smoothly to fetch reinforcements?Can you return smoothly after moving to the rescue?The guards in the courtyard can withstand a few waves of such attacks regardless of cost.The other party was a member of the militia with extremely low combat effectiveness. If they were soldiers with similarly low combat effectiveness, they would have been prisoners of their ranks long ago.

Wu Xiaoliang secretly blamed himself for the carelessness of this action, the action was still a little too hasty, if he waited until he had the strength to control the situation before taking action, he would not be in the embarrassing situation he is in now.The north will secretly send some people, but I don't know where they are now. Can those distant waters expect them to quench their burning thirst?

While thinking wildly, Zhu Wusheng said again: "It's better to go to Sun Baiguang's place in a humble position, and delay the time."

"No! You have successfully delayed Sun Baiguang's time before, but if you repeat the old trick this time, if he finds out, your situation will be very worrying!"

Wu Xiaoliang categorically rejected Zhu Wusheng's proposal. He found that the county magistrate Zhu was a combination of many contradictions. For example, he was usually cowardly and submissive, otherwise he wouldn't have been held back by Sun Baiguang for so many years and still endured.On the other hand, he is resourceful and resourceful. Once he makes up his mind, he dares to break into even a dragon's den and a tiger's den.

Zhu Wusheng has a different opinion, "Please listen to what I said. According to what I saw, Sun Baiguang is just a stern person at this time. As long as we are willing to talk to him and make appropriate concessions, we don't have to worry about him not taking the bait. Such a Back and forth, delaying him for another hour is definitely more than enough."

Wu Xiaoliang couldn't help laughing after hearing Zhu Wusheng's words: "This Sun Baiguang can't think of it, someone has already analyzed him and made him completely hungry."

In the tea shed in Linzi County, Sun Baiguang heard that his subordinates came to report again, and the county magistrate Zhu came to ask for negotiations again. He couldn't help being upset for a while, and wanted to order people to shoot them away, but he changed his words, why don't we look at them again Whether he can agree to the conditions proposed by himself, after all, this time he has spent a lot of money in attacking him, and it is not known if the surname Wu is afraid.

Zhu Wusheng was taken to the tea shed, and Sun Baiguang still looked arrogant.

"How? After learning how powerful the Linzi militia is, that Wu man regrets not agreeing to the previous conditions?"

"No, I'm still here to negotiate this time. Commander Sun's conditions are too harsh. I wonder if you can accommodate me?"

Sun Baiguang felt a little disappointed in his heart. He really hoped that Wu Xiaoliang would agree to his conditions, even if he promised to withdraw from Linzi City, it would be a success. Without this obtrusive provincial government, the Sun family could continue to dominate and do whatever they wanted in Linzi County But the reality is getting farther and farther away from this once simple wish that can no longer be simple. He suddenly pulled out another ring box cannon from his waist and poked it on Zhu Wusheng's forehead...
