Chapter 76 Capture the county government office
"Don't be afraid, they are only three of them. We have a lot of people, and we are afraid that they will not succeed. Everyone goes back to search the guys. Today they have to knock down these three dogs. They are so arrogant that they are looking at us like wild dogs. We can't stand it anymore!" The rice shop owner continued to dance and incite the crowd around him.
At this time, more than a dozen young people gradually surrounded the surroundings. One of them gave a wink at the rice shop owner and then gave a wink at the people around him. The dozen people immediately retreated one after another.
The three yamen runners were a little timid when they saw the crowd refused to disperse, but they had a knife in their hands and could still suppress the other party for a while. Then they didn't know what was going on today. If this job was not done well, it would be difficult to pay the job when they went back. If they forced these people to pay taxes now, they would probably not give in to the situation today.
"Damn it, I asked you to take the lead in making excuses and beat me!" After thinking about it, the yamen runner in his early thirties decided to take action with the rice shop owner and kill the chicken and scare the monkey, so that the people around him dare not follow him and make excuses again.
After the man gave the order, the two young yamen runners took a step forward, each of them flew fiercely and kicked the rice shop owner. The rice shop owner could not dodge back. He was kicked by the two and staggered back a few steps, then fell on the ground in the rice shop, covering his stomach with both hands, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and his mouth was humming and crying for pain.
"Mom, these yamen runners are too arrogant. Don't be afraid of them, fight with them!" At this time, the young man who had just winked outside came back with a dozen people. They all came with shoulder poles, sticks, kitchen knives and hatches in their hands. When they saw that the rice shop owner was knocked to the ground, they immediately rushed up with a wave of the guy in their hands.
When the three yamen runners saw someone coming out with the guy, they began to become scared. They thought that teaching a lesson to the rice shop owner would make the group of people honest, but at this time the situation had obviously formed a lot of riots. The three of them immediately retreated one after another and did not dare to continue beating the rice shop owner, but instead confronted more than a dozen young people with a knife.
"Everyone is up, knock down these three dog legs and tie them up!" The rice shop owner was actually fine. He just used his strength to fall to the ground and pretended to behave. Then he stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his butt, and shouted to the people around him.
The dozen young men holding the guys suddenly narrowed the encirclement and surrounded the three yamen runners in the middle with yelling. Then several shop owners and friends around also went back to search the guys and came out to help, yelling to beat the three people. Seeing that the other party had a lot of people, the three gradually began to tremble slightly, and their faces gradually became gloomy.
"Put down the knife!" A leading young man yelled at the three of them, like a thunderclap, and the three of them couldn't help but tremble in fear.
The three of them gradually became weak under the threat of the crowd like fire. Finally, they obediently put down the machete in their hands and threw it on the ground. Then several young men came up and kicked them a few times. After screaming in pain, they were tied up by everyone.
"What, these rural bullies are not counting on tax resistance, but they dare to imprison the police sent by the county. These unruly people are too bold. How many unruly people are causing trouble and are lawless? I don't believe that they can't be suppressed?" The magistrate of Lin'an County heard that someone gathered to make trouble in Qingshan Town, beat three yamen runners, tied them up and imprisoned them. He immediately blew his beard and stared at him, and asked a yamen runner beside him who came to report the news.
"Return to the magistrate, the unlucky people are numerous, with about a hundred people, and they have guys in their hands. After hearing this, my subordinates rushed to the nearby area to investigate and were almost tied up by the unlucky people. They ran back to report the truth." The yamen runner who reported the news said in panic.
"If all the guards were ordered to bring their guns and rushed to Qingshan Town to quell the rebellion and deal with these unreasonable and unreasonable unreasonable people, they would not know how powerful they are." The magistrate in his early fifties shook his hat on his head and said angrily.
The county yamen guards had a total of more than 100 people, carrying guns, and then, led by a strong guard captain, began to walk outside Lin'an City. After leaving the city, he rushed towards Qingshan Town. Only a dozen yamen runners were left in the county yamen.
Not long after the guards left Lin'an County, several groups of people began to gather near the county government. Some of them dressed as civilians who had transported cloths before, while others dressed as other civilians. These people were soldiers from a special company in Zhenguo Army. They had been lurking in Lin'an City for more than half a day, divided into five teams and a total of 150 people. They set up spots in the county government and prepared to wait for the news, and then began to take action.
The rice shopkeeper and more than a dozen young men who were making trouble in Qingshan Town were revolutionaries in the new army. After receiving the order, they performed a tax-resistant show, with the purpose of creating unrest in Qingshan Town, attracting the attention of Lin'an County Government, and causing them to send Qing soldiers to suppress them. The Qing soldiers in Lin'an County only had one hundred or dozens of people in this county guard.
Then more than 100 people joined the tax-resisting team, of which fifty or sixty were staffed by the revolutionaries in advance. These people then mobilized the masses everywhere under the leadership of the rice shop owner and lobbled them to participate in the tax-resistance. The entire Qingshan Town suddenly became excited, and a vigorous wave of tax-resistance broke out.
This tax-resistance incident broke out frequently in the Lin'an area in the late Qing Dynasty, but it did not cause large-scale conflicts. This time, the revolutionaries used the tax-resistance incident to mobilize the masses to fight against the county government office. The purpose was to create a large riot and lead out of the county government guards. The basic purpose of the basic purpose of the county government guards was achieved.
"Brothers, take out all the rifles hidden in the cloth, and the main force of the county guards have left the city. Now it is a good time to attack the county government. Be smart and try to force the other party to surrender. If you don't need it, don't shoot, so as not to jump over the wall and cause casualties on our side." A man in the team leader stood next to a carriage carrying cloth and began to order the special forces team members dressed in more than 20 civilians standing around.
Then more than twenty people untied the ropes tied to the cloth on the car, and spread the rolled cloth one by one, revealing a series of shiny automatic rifles. Although the alley where the special forces are located is not very lively, there are also many people coming and going. Several pedestrians and owners and friends of the shops on both sides, when they saw someone on the street suddenly taking out so many strange guns from the carriage, they were immediately frightened and ran away to hide. They didn't know the origin of these people. When they saw that the other party hid the guns in the cloth, they knew that they were definitely not ordinary people.
"Don't be afraid, we are ordinary people who participate in tax resistance. The old ghost in Lin'an County Magistrate and his subordinates deprived us of much money to support our families through layers of exploitation. We can't bear it anymore. This time we came to Lin'an County Government. If you want to participate, you can search the guys and follow us. We are now going to attack Lin'an County Government, capture the magistrate and other corrupt officials, and hand them over to ordinary people for trial." The tall man in the team leader then waved his rifle and shouted at the crowd that was avoiding him tremblingly.
Some people in the crowd also heard about the tax-resistance incident that had just broken out in Qingshan Town. Unexpectedly, they had to come to the county government so soon, and they also brought guns. It seemed that the incident was a big deal this time, and they were going to use swords and guns. Some timid people were already dispersing around. Only a few brave people heard the man's words and were still watching nearby. Several people heard that these people were armed by tax-resistance people, and they were also a little moved and wanted to follow them to see what was going on.
On several other streets, the special forces in civilian uniforms also showed up and began to gather together, surrounding the county government. Three teams of people were preparing to rush in from the county government gate, while the other two teams went around the back and side of the county government gate and climbed into the wall, surrounding the county government gate.
Some bold people also followed the special forces members wearing ordinary people's clothing to the county government, and some industrial and commercial practitioners who had long been dissatisfied with the heavy tax burden in Lin'an County also followed and helped the increase. However, few people dared to search the guys to help. Everyone was worried that they would cause trouble and dared not easily get involved in this incident.
"What, the mob came so quickly. What was going on? Where did our guard go?" After hearing that someone surrounded the county government with guns, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and smashed it, and his face turned into a pig's liver.
"Put down your weapons and stop killing them!" The soldiers of the special forces company had already entered the gate of the county yamen, and the black muzzle shouted at the yamen runners inside.
More than a dozen yamen runners rushed out with swords and guns, ready to stop the mob from entering the county government. However, when they saw the guns held by the "mob", they were stunned. No one expected that these mobs would be armed so quickly, with a strange-style rifle, and the number of them was much higher than that of their own.
