Chapter 275 These Taijuns Are Not Imperial

Xiao Tianlang, who led the team to rush into the Qing army barracks, had a rather ugly look on his face. He thought that the news had been leaked. The Qing army only left the old, weak and sick to attract their attention, and the elite troops were waiting on the periphery to encircle and suppress them.

As a result, he sent out scouts to investigate and interrogated several captured Qing army leaders. He was forced to admit that he had thought too much. This was the entire force of the Qing Dynasty stationed in the Magic City.

"That's it?" Xiao Tianlang, who had been feeling uneasy about the sudden rebellion of his boss, now felt that even if there was a rebellion, it wasn't a big deal.

Originally, they thought they would encounter some resistance, but the Qing generals were afraid that these starving soldiers would secretly use their guns and ammunition to exchange for food, so the guns and ammunition were usually locked in the warehouse. Only the sentries would issue a few muskets for warning, and the rest were mostly equipped with spears and swords with tetanus enchantment.

Unable to even get enough food and without weapons and ammunition, this group of Qing troops who had no fighting spirit decisively chose to surrender after hundreds of guards arrived, without even intending to show any sign of surrender.

To be honest, given the way they are treated on a daily basis, it is already a credit to the Qing Dynasty for them to stay in the barracks wearing this leather uniform. Expecting them to fight to the death is simply a joke.

What's more, the other party also said that as long as they stayed honestly, they would arrange a livelihood for them.

If others said this, they might not believe it, but if Guandi said this, they would believe it.

In the Demon City, there are countless people who have survived thanks to the Guandi Society. The most important thing is that the Guandi Society is famous for keeping its word, so no matter who they suspect, they will never suspect the Guandi Society.

"Leave a hundred people behind. Forget it. Leave fifty people to guard these prisoners. Let them make fire and cook by themselves. Then tell them that they will have enough food if they follow us." Xiao Tianlang did not intend to continue wasting time here. After leaving fifty people, he immediately led his troops to the Demon City, leaving behind only a group of prisoners who were happily making fire and cooking and the guards who were watching them to make sure they didn't stuff themselves to death.

The Ratsnake who disguised himself as Snake Brother was wearing a short coat, carrying a Mauser pistol, and looking like a traitor. He had already quietly cleared the city gate with his men, and was hiding aside waiting for Howling Wolf to arrive with his troops.

As soon as the two sides met, there was no nonsense. Caihuashe immediately asked his familiar men to lead the way and take the seven wolves to various important places in the Magic City, such as the tax bureau, banks, warehouses, arsenals, etc.

These places were actually more heavily guarded than the barracks, and fierce gun battles immediately broke out between the two sides.

However, with the arrival of 300 factory guards carrying artillery, these stubborn resistances would be crushed like walnuts under a hammer.

As soon as the Demon City started to get into chaos, some people planned to take advantage of the situation to rob people. However, as soon as they went out, they saw men from the Guandi Society with red scarves on their heads, holding weapons and patrolling the streets in groups, so they turned around and went back.

Everyone who makes a living in Shanghai knows about the Guandi Society. It can be said that it has already infiltrated every aspect of their lives.

If you offend the officials, you can still run away, but if you offend the Guandi Society, you can't escape from the Magic City at all, so what else can you do if you don't go back.

However, the fierce fighting in the Demon City could not be concealed at all, and the information had already been leaked and passed on.

The foreigners who were enjoying a luxurious banquet in the Concession Hotel and the pretentious officials received the news sooner or later, and the legal advisor immediately became the focus of everyone.

"You are rebelling!" The prefect of Demon City pointed at the master's nose and cursed loudly with red eyes, because no matter whether the other party succeeded or not, he would inevitably be held accountable for dereliction of duty, and he didn't know how much money he would have to spend to build connections, how could he not be angry.

"You were the first to start, and you didn't intend to leave us alive, right?" Facing the question of the prefect, the master's answer was simple, since you have done something so extreme, don't blame us for overturning the table. "You!" The demon city prefect was so angry that his fingers were shaking, and he cursed the other party madly in his heart, why couldn't he just die obediently so that they could take over the property.

But now that things have come to this, the only thing to do is to quell the unrest as quickly as possible and try to make a big deal out of a small matter, otherwise he may not be able to keep his official hat.

Thinking of this, the prefect of Demon City glared at the master fiercely and was about to order his men to arrest him, but a dozen white bodyguards immediately surrounded him, putting their hands on his bulging waist and staring at him with cold eyes. There was no intention of backing down, including those braid soldiers.

The prefect of Demon City turned his head to look at the foreigners who had been so enthusiastic just now, but found that they were all standing aside watching the show and had no intention of getting involved. He immediately cursed inwardly at the foreigners who were ungrateful to the emperor and had no shame.

These white bodyguards are veterans hired by Yan Xu at a high price. They are usually responsible for the security of shops and warehouses in the concession, but they don't mind being bodyguards because the boss is really generous and they receive pensions every year, which lasts until their children grow up, their wives remarry, or their parents pass away, so they don't mind risking their lives.

In the end, the Magistrate of Modu gave up. As long as the riots could be resolved, a mere advisor would not be a problem. If that didn't work,
The foreigners present were not just watching the show. In fact, they had already ordered the soldiers stationed in the concession to act quickly and go to the tax bureau, bank warehouses and other places in the Magic City to rescue supplies and not to waste them.

Taking advantage of others' misfortune, I really like it.

The foreigners present raised their glasses to each other tacitly, but it was too early for them to be happy.

The Five Hundred Lady Jun had already been guarding the border of the concession, confronting the foreign soldiers.

Judging from the smoke that has not yet dissipated and the corpses on the ground, a conflict broke out before, and the foreigners suffered a great loss, otherwise they would not be so honest.

A French general stared fiercely at a short Japanese man and said while suppressing his anger.

"Now, immediately, right now, get these damn soldiers out of my way!"

"Hey! Sir Alphonse, these people are not soldiers of the Empire, I can't command them!" Major Ikeda was sweating, because he had no idea where these soldiers came from, but to say that these people were not soldiers of the Empire was not just a lie, but a blatant insult.

Although the uniforms and weapons are different, but with this height, this appearance, this temperament, and these skilled tactical movements, can you tell me that this is not a soldier from the Eastern Empire?!
Alphonse almost pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the other man's forehead, then yelled, "Do you think I'm blind?"

In fact, not only Alphonse, but also the generals of several other countries looked at Major Ikeda with something strange in their eyes.

Judging from their backgrounds, the members of the volunteer team are all veterans who have served for more than ten years and have rich combat experience.

Such soldiers are the elite among the elite in any country. Once the army is expanded, they will be immediately promoted to grassroots officers.

The opposite side was full of such elite veterans. Despite being completely outnumbered, they only used rifles, machine guns, and a special small cannon to stop the enemy at the border of the concession. This shows how strong their fighting power was.

Major Ikeda actually said he didn't know about such a soldier. If they were not afraid of the enemy's internal and external attacks from both sides, several white generals really wouldn't mind communicating with the enemy through fists and feet to show them what it meant to not treat them as fools.
