Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 68 - Rising from the Rebellion

The four hundred thousand silver taels were piled up like a small mountain, the light of the silver taels was enough to make anyone lose their mind.

On the ground of Tanggu, there were two high ranking officials, one was a man while the other was a warrior. The strongest officer on the ground of Tanggu were two high ranking officials, the other was a soldier. They knew that Zhou Mingkui was the highest administrative official of the Tanggu who was appointed by the.

Ma Bao felt that he was really too lucky today. He actually arrived at Letian Firm before Zhou Tong, and even met with a gift pack of four hundred thousand silver coins. He originally thought that this place would have at least one or two hundred thousand silver coins, he never thought that it would be so much.

Under the conspiracy of them and the High Scholar Huang, using the people's transformation to force Xiao Letian away was the most important mission, and when the mob arrived, they had first looted the Letian Firm, so this was Ma Bao's personal plan.

Although Huang Juren gave him 10,000 silver and two acting skills, it was far from enough for the greedy Ma Bao. Didn't everyone say that these two devils were possessed by the God of Fortune and carried a treasure-gathering plate on their back? Then I'll split the flowers, soldier first snatch away your shop's wealth, then push the black pot back to the mob s, is there still such a great thing in the world?

Just thinking about it, Ma Bao felt excited. He didn't sleep at all last night. All this waiting was worth it. When the figure of four hundred thousand entered his ears, it was as if a little devil had taken control of his thoughts.

Three hundred Green Battalion s flanked the two sides of the street. At this time, there were no longer any commoners on the streets, and even those who went to cause trouble sneaked into the storefronts on both sides of the street to avoid this terrifying conflict.

The charge of three hundred people was indeed earth-shattering. The tip of the lance swayed like a jungle as it flashed on the street. The way the steel blade danced up and down was much more wonderful than what was shown on the stage. At that moment, Ma Bao felt that he had already possessed the body of a Martial Immortal.

Beauty, this beauty in Ma Bao's heart! He even imagined himself returning to the Beijing, sitting in front of the teahouses and brothels and bragging, those Baji s who looked down on him since he was young, this lord wants to slap them back in the face, this lord wants to let you all know how capable you are.

"Everyone, listen up. musket team will shoot to the north, defense of South Street …" Just as Ma Bao was thinking about that, suddenly, a loud roar came out from the Letian Firm. At that moment, not only were Ma Bao and the merchants were stunned, even the mysterious customer on the second floor was shocked.

The only sound that could be heard was the sound of the tea bowl falling to the ground. "How dare you!" "He actually dared to shoot …" Unfortunately, before he could finish lamenting, he heard more than a hundred people from downstairs collectively shout, "Kill …" At that time, it shook the entire ocean, causing the dust to fly everywhere, and even the bowl rack was thrown down.

Luo Huo was now the captain of the musketeers under Xiao Letian's command. Under his command, thirty Musketeers s rushed onto the long street expressionlessly.

When the shield wall blocking the way dissipated, Luo Hu shouted with murderous intent, "Listen to my command!" "First row..." With the sound of muffled thunder, the entire street was covered in white smoke. At that moment, everyone was suffocated. Even the foreigners on the ships were dumbfounded. They didn't even pick up their binoculars and allowed them to roll onto the deck.

"My God! Qing people in the civil war, they started a civil war... "All the sailors immediately put up their defenses, and the ship entered a defensive state …"

Luo Huo is the most loyal warrior under Xiao Letian, he had already sworn it when he was beaten up by Yi County, and he will do it for the rest of his life. Although he doesn't know anything about Western Studies, but he was personally trained by Mr. Xiao, so he is the disciple of Mr. Xiao.

In the Wolf Killing Col of Taihang Mountains, Luo Huo's musket team had once repelled Shi Dakai's elite bandits. In a mountain in the western part of the capital, the musket team had once defeated a proud disciple of the Xiang Family. And now, this group of God Slayer who had seen blood before, finally aimed their guns at Great Qing Dynasty. Although it was only a vice general level altar, as long as he used it, Xiao Letian's power would forever be on par with Great Qing Dynasty.

"Don't …" The mysterious customer on the second floor shouted, but the sound behind him was completely drowned out by the gunfire. Three rows of fire spears started to rain down like rain under Luo Huo's command. The iron sand seed flew into the air and landed on the long street.

The gunshot was like a clap of thunder that woke Ma Bao up from his beautiful dream. This playboy who only knew how to bully the weak had burrowed into the belly of a horse. His brain had already lost the ability to think.

How could this be? How was this possible? Can merchants rebel? They want to kill me, they want to kill officials and rebel! Ma Bao looked like he had gone mad and wanted to urge his horse to escape, but when he looked again, he did not know when or how.

The huge carcass of the horse was on his left leg, and the intense pain stimulated his nerves. He didn't know if it was broken or broken, but he couldn't move it at all.

"Save me, why are all of you standing in a daze? Hurry up and save me …" Ma Bao couldn't understand why his voice would change, but at this time, no one cared if he lived or died, because all the soldiers were also beaten stupid.

"On the second row, the first row is filled with ammunition …" "Fire!"

"On the third row, the second row is filled with ammunition …" "Fire!"

"First row, third row, back loading …" "Fire!"

Luo Huo already had a bit of the bearing of a commander now. He did not use the fire spear on his back at all, and only used the whip in his hand to command the three groups of Musketeers to take turns shooting. As long as there was any panic, he would whip anyone who went up. This was something that he had learnt from Xiao Letian.

When the gun sound had passed the first round, Green Battalion who was charging at the front seemed to have been hit by an invisible door board, the charge was scattered by a huge force, and seven or eight soldiers who were shouting strangely were hit by the iron sand seed, sent spinning three rounds before falling.

After the second round of shooting, another ten soldiers lay on the ground, as if they had been struck by lightning. The thick smell of smoke and blood permeated the air.

By the time the third round of gunfire ended, there were no longer any sounds of shouting and charging from the north and south ends of the street. All the soldiers were stunned, they could not believe that a smelly merchant actually possessed a private army, and also a musket team.

In the Letian Firm, there was no one left who could sit still. All the merchants huddled together as if they were staring at demons, staring at Xiao Letian who was commanding the battle. After every round of gunshots, there were cries of fear.

"Run, quick …" After three rounds of shooting, the Green Battalion finally woke up from their stuffiness. The greedy looks in their eyes were finally replaced with fear, and when they realized that they were going to trade their lives for four hundred thousand silver coins, they immediately chose to escape.

The janissaries picked up their horses and carried Ma Bao as they fled backwards. Everyone was escaping from the fire lance's range at a speed that was double the speed of a charge, as fast as the ebbing tides of the ocean. It was hard for anyone to imagine what they were seeing.

"We can't retreat! No one can withdraw!" "If this matter were to spread to the imperial government, your father would definitely lose his head. You can't retreat …" Ma Bao limped on the street and jumped around.

"Lord of the stage, transfer the cavalry, don't we still have 200 some cavalry in our camp? With just one charge, this group of musketeers will be done for immediately …"

"Lord, move the men from the Bird Spear Camp up here. We will definitely win if we shoot them when we block the long street."

Ma Bao was also much more clear-headed now. He knew that if he became a deserter and the imperial government found out, they would never forgive him. They couldn't even deal with the private troops of more than a hundred merchants. What was even more frightening was that once the matter got out of hand, the foreigners would come ashore with guns. That would be the end of the story.

"Transfer troops, immediately transfer troops. Send all of the Musketeers in the army up here. I won't believe that I can't kill this group of smelly merchants with just three hundred shots …" Ma Bao and the rest had already escaped from the fire gun's range, and were starting to dismantle the shops on both sides. Tables, chairs, bricks and tiles were piled up on the street, forming a temporary defensive position.

At this time, knowing that Zhou Mingkui had finally arrived, he rushed over with more than one bailiff, asking, "What's going on? Why did the Gun sound like it was fine? "What exactly is going on with Confederate Platform …"

"Don't ask anymore, Xiao Letian is just a bullsh * t scholar, and he's even f * cking writing a book. This is killing Gods and bandits … He had actually secretly hidden the musketeers, this Second Demon was about to rebel … "I am truly unlucky!" Ma Bao scolded while saying heh.

Zhou Mingkui was after all, a civil servant from a different background, and his brain was much sharper than Ma Bao's. He analyzed the situation, "Brother Ma, don't look at the problem like that, this is a golden opportunity! Didn't Xiao Letian only have a hundred people? "We're going to eliminate him. This is a great contribution from the rebellion. Furthermore, he is the main reason for the civil revolution this time around. How could the imperial government not reward us when the time comes?"

Ma Bao immediately thought of something and slapped his thigh. "Aiyo …" "It hurts!" He pointed at the soldier and said, "Go and transfer the troops. Bring all our brothers here. I have a great reward for this!"

Zhou Mingkui also stood up, "I will immediately send out the yamen runners to encourage the citizens to attack the ocean. I don't believe that they can kill that many with their dozens of guns, we will drown it to death even if they lose our lives …"

From this moment onwards, the storm instigated by Huang Juren and the Xiao Pi Sun had begun to move towards the government officials. The two high ranking officials of Tanggu Realm, one civil and one warrior had officially received the baton, and the great chaos began to turn into chaos.

Although there was only a single word of difference between chaos and rioting, the smell of blood was a hundred to a thousand times greater. However, in the eyes of an official, it wasn't that big of a deal for a commoner to die.
