Chapter 273: Liaodong Chaos
However, the situation in Liaodong is much more serious than Yang Feng imagined...
Night, Zhenjiang City.
"Go away!"
Tianjin businessman Xu Feng rode a horse and ran south on the chaotic street.
Behind him was a burning castle, with flames rising from the sky everywhere, gunfire and shouts of killing flooded the entire city, and countless men, women, young and old were running away in the firelight. At the city gate that had been opened behind them, the enemy was surging in. But it was not the Japanese, but Jiannu with bald and rat tails. These fierce barbarians rushed on the streets, killing all the people they met.
Wherever they passed, there were dead bodies.
Zhenjiang Fort fell like this.
"Mama, a bunch of heroes in the Li family have produced a waste like Li Ruwu, and even the wild boar skin can't be stopped!"
The escaped Xu Feng cursed on the horse's back.
This was half a month after Li Rusong's death. Because of his death, Li Chengliang ordered the temporary abandonment of the attack in North Korea and all the Liaodong troops retreated. This old guy was too cunning. His son's death made him feel dangerous. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, he had to transfer the remaining Li Rumei and those direct descendants back. There are many people within the Liaodong Group who are trying to seize their Li family position. After all, the mainland now knows that it will enter a chaotic world at a glance. Once the mainland enters a chaotic world, a place like Liaodong that is hanging outside is the most suitable for separatist.
Everyone wants to be the King of Liaodong!
Such a large piece of fat fell into the hands of the Li family, how can the other generals not be jealous?
Li Chengliang is already over seventy years old, and the one who has the most ability among his sons is Li Rusong, who is brave and lacks mind.
The others are ordinary.
As long as Li Rusong dies, there is nothing scary about the Li family. Even if the other generals do not steal the Li family's throne, they can force the Li family to give up some of the benefits. Li Rusong was shot dead behind the scenes, which is clearly done by insiders. Li Chengliang said to the outside world that the Japanese army only did it to stabilize the hearts of the people.
But he transferred Li Rumei and others back as quickly as possible.
Leaving Li Ruwu to guard Kuan Dianbao, in fact, he gave up the fight against North Korea, and relying on his own prestige to temporarily calm the situation, take back the elite of the Li family and then solve the problem. The old guy knows very well that this time their Li family will face a real crisis.
He did react quickly and his plan was not wrong.
However……
He didn't expect that the wild boar skin that had kneeled down to celebrate his birthday not long ago rebelled.
The Japanese army heading north again attacked Changdian Fort. Wild Boar Skin led his army to Kuan Dian in the name of assisting in defense, coaxing Li Ruwu to let him into the city. Then he raided Li Ruwu and then captured Kuan Dian, forcing Xin Dian and other forts, and then headed south with the Japanese coalition forces and used the traitor to open Zhenjiang Fort.
Then Xu Feng had to run away in a hurry.
"This is wrong. He should have colluded with the Japanese for a long time. He was also designed by him. Li Rusong has been messing with him over the years. His obedience is just acting and waiting for an opportunity. The Japanese slaves hit Yalu River. Li Rusong wanted him to be cannon fodder. If he didn't listen, Li Rusong took the opportunity to deal with him. He was just a cannon fodder for Li Rusong to end up bleeding. In fact, it would be best for him to collude with the Japanese slaves and shoot Li Rusong behind the opportunity. Some of the Li family members were Jurchens, and he was originally following Li Chengliang. It was easy to buy someone who shot behind the back."
Han Ning, a companion beside Xu Feng, said.
"It's not that simple, I dare not do it by myself."
Xu Feng said.
"You mean that there are really people in Liaodong generals who are accomplices with them? That's right. Guangren is nearly two million yuan a year, and with the great commander given them, Li Jiaguang used it to support his confidants. If I were the other generals, I wouldn't be convinced."
Han Ning said.
The Li family is a warlord, and the warlords must have nurtured outsiders.
Li Rusong did have huge incomes a year, but most of them were given to the Li family's direct descendants, and other generals only drank some soup. After all, the Li family was afraid of fattening them and threatening the Li family. The biggest industry in Liaodong was ginseng, and the ginseng trade was actually completely controlled by the Li family.
Of course the other generals were not convinced.
After all, everyone is at the same level. In the past, when the partnership cheated the court, of course the interests were consistent, but now that Liaodong has become the Li family, it is different.
"Do not care about their going, let's escape first, let's talk about my money!"
Xu Feng shouted.
They continued to run away with a dozen men.
The entire Zhenjiang Fort behind was in chaos. The defenders who were fighting in a hurry, the fleeing merchants, the Jurchen merchants who took advantage of the chaos, and the Jiannu who burned and killed the looted, were all mixed together in this small town...
"Brother Xu saves me!"
Suddenly, a cry for help sounded from the side.
Xu Feng and others turned their heads.
"It's Mao Wenlong!"
Han Ning said as he looked at the young man running wildly in the alley.
This is Mao Wenlong, a businessman from Jiangnan. Li Rusong opened the door to welcome all businessmen, whether it was the Wanli Dynasty or the Hongguang Dynasty.
All the visitors are here.
In fact, there are more businessmen in Zhejiang than those in Tianjin.
There was a strong demand for ginseng in them, and the arms industry was developed. They sold them to the Li family with new armor and cannons and turtle dove guns, and then bought ginseng from the Li family. This business was done very well.
Mao Wenlong is from the Shen family in Hangzhou, the latter is the largest family in Hangzhou. This kind of business is also done by strength in Jiangnan. Mao Wenlong is the nephew of the Shen family. Although he also studied literature, his future for learning literature was getting dim at this time. He himself also liked to run out. His uncle was an official under Li Rusong, and he happened to be arranged to host here.
Although he and Xu Feng are not the same system, they have a good relationship on weekdays.
In fact, he and Xu Feng also do business, transporting the freight from Jiangnan here to trade, and then transporting it to Tianjin from Xu Feng.
While speaking, Mao Wenlong was caught up by a team of Jiannu, and the escaped guy next to him was immediately chopped over.
Mao Wenlong, who was wearing plate armor, was also stabbed. Although he was not cut open, he fell to the ground. Jiannu was reluctant to break the precious plate armor and directly dismounted to try to behead his head. Xu Feng's short gun immediately opened fire, and the bullet hit Jiannu's forehead. The latter fell down immediately. Jiannu also noticed them behind him, raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and Han Ning and others behind Xu Feng immediately opened fire. Several Jiannu fell off their horses. Mao Wenlong on the ground climbed up as quickly as possible and turned over the Jiannu's horse.
He took off the bones from the saddle and threw them out the head of a Jiannu.
In the latter's scream, he activated the war horse and rushed to Xu Feng quickly. The two of them didn't bother to say anything and continued to run without hesitation.
"It's Tong Yangxing, it's the door he opened!"
Mao Wenlong shouted.
Tong Yangxing was the supervisor arranged by the Li family to be in charge of the trade here. He was a merchant who relied on the Li family in Fushun and had close ties with the Jurchens. In fact, his family is said to be the Jurchens, and he is considered the direct descendant of the Li family, but such a person betrayed the Li family.
"Ma, if you are not my race, your heart will be different. The Grand Marshal said it is really right!"
Han Ning cursed.
Although they were merchants, they were all militias of the Red Turban Army.
Shuntian Prefecture and Yongping Prefecture are all militia-like. No matter what profession is, they are militias, and they also have to participate in regular training.
"Tong Yangxing!"
Mao Wenlong suddenly shouted.
Dozens of Jiannu cavalry appeared in front of them, and the head of the Ming Dynasty officials was the traitor Tong Yangxing who opened the door for wild boar skin.
"Brother Xu, the Khan raised his troops just to avenge him. You don't need to panic. We still have to do business."
The latter shouted with a smile.
What he said was actually the truth. After all, no matter whether the wild boar skin was made or not, the ginseng trade would be impossible to stop. Jiannu hoarded those ginseng as radishes at most. Only by selling it to mainland merchants can it really turn into white silver or even guns and armor. Businessmen of the level of Xu Feng and Mao Wenlong are also the people they need, and it is impossible to even kill these people.
However, the eyes of the Jiannu officer beside him fell on Mao Wenlong.
"kill!"
Xu Feng shouted without hesitation.
The short gun in his hand spewed out flames at the same time. Jiannu, who was holding a bow and arrow beside Tong Yangxing, fell down. Mao Wenlong was awake and moved forward at full speed with the knife. In a blink of an eye, he flew past Tong Yangxing. The latter reacted very quickly. The knife in his hand thrust straight on Mao Wenlong's chest, but it was directly slipped away by the plate armor. Mao Wenlong's knife cut his throat in an instant.
Tong Yangxing covered his throat in pain with a solidified astonishment, but he could not stop the blood from gushing. Then the rapid blood loss caused him to lose his life in a very short period of time.
Then it turned into a dead corpse and fell, trampled by Han Ning's horse hooves while it was twitching.
He couldn't even make a scream.
Just as Mao Wenlong cut off Tong Yangxing's throat, gunfire was also heard. Basically, Xu Feng and others, who were two or even three short guns, kept firing at the Jiannu while running.
The latter chaoticly avoided this fierce team.
They rushed past it like this and ran past the city gate that had been opened by the defeated soldiers.
Behind them, the fleeing people and the defeated soldiers also rushed out, and Jiannu followed behind them, but the people and the defeated soldiers quickly got into the mountains and forests. Xu Feng and others rode their horses to fight and escape south, and they ran to the waves in one breath. This is the sea transport terminal, and the sailors on their sea boats were ready, and all the guys who ran on the sea were heavy firepower. After all, they had to beware of the robbery of the Japanese navy.
Xu Feng turned over and became the master when he arrived here.
"Mama, let these Jiannu see what firepower is!"
Turning his horse's head, he yelled at the Jiannu cavalry chasing behind him.
The next moment, those sea boats, whether they were from Jiangnan, were launched from the deck, and fired fires were sprayed at them in the shocked eyes of the Jiannu. The fierce shells instantly made a splash of flesh and blood in the Jiannu.
