Chapter II Illegal Arms
*******
The scorching sun makes people feel uncomfortable. Although the soldiers driving kept shouting and whipping the horses were so annoying, the wheels still rolled forward slowly.
Yang Qiu, who was like everyone else, changed into a short jacket outfit. His slightly open collar made him look a little more heroic than a gangster, but only he knew that he was "sunbathing" the treasure in his arms.
The ordinary baggage soldiers in the new Hubei army have no money, no people, and no territory. Even if you were a soldier in your previous life and lived in a car factory, even if you brought over the latest 29-axis linkage machine tool in Germany in the later generations, you can't make anything now.
Industry is not a saying. Even if there are piles of machines, skilled workers and huge resources are needed.
So, a bastard wearing a hat, this is just a pleasure for me!
"Brother Yang, who is enjoying you? Huh, what kind of gun is this?" Bingwen, who was sitting in a car with Yang Qiu, turned his head and saw Yang Qiu playing with a short gun that he had never seen before. His eyes lit up and immediately leaned over.
"This is my second uncle bought from the United States." Yang Qiu had a sudden inspiration and put the blame on his second uncle who was doing business in Shanghai, saying, "He was afraid that I would suffer a loss, so he specially bought these two short guns at a high price for me to defend myself."
Bingwen was not suspicious. Many children from wealthy families liked to buy guns by their side these days. Although Yang Qiu's parents died, his family background was good in his early years. He also had a second uncle who was doing business in Shanghai, so buying a gun was not a big deal.
"stop!"
While introducing the pistol to Bingwen, Yang Qiu hadn't understood what was going on, and before he could tell a loud shout from the front, then the sound of pulling the gun bolt sounded around him, and the bearded Ma Kui even got into the back of the carriage with a wheel.
Yang Qiu, who was 1.78 meters tall, was undoubtedly a stark flock in this era. He quickly saw clearly the situation ahead and saw several big men wearing short black jackets suddenly popping out on both sides of the valley ahead, and these guys actually had weapons in their hands.
Mosinna!
After seeing the gun in the other party's hand, Yang Qiu was shocked.
If he hadn't liked guns, if he hadn't had such old guns in the Xinhai Revolution Memorial Hall that he had visited before, he might not have been able to tell which kind of rifle in his hand!
Mosinna dry rifles are rare. The army during the Beiyang period basically unified the world with German and Japanese weapons. A small number of French and Italian equipment also flowed into the country, but Russian rifles... are rare!
This kind of rifle that was not even fully equipped by the Russian main force flowed into the country, and there was only one channel.
The winner of the Russo-Japanese War that just ended, Japan!
The Russo-Japanese War was the first time that Mosinakah had put into actual combat in the Far East. After Japan won, it seized a lot, but due to different standards, most of them were missing. However, some of them were unexpectedly flowing into the country.
The intuition he trained in the military in his previous life made him squint his eyes suddenly. A strong sense of danger came from those inconspicuous men in black with guns. It was definitely not easy for these people to get weapons from the Japanese.
"Who is coming?"
"In the Xia Xiao Anguo, he was ordered by his boss to escort a batch of mountain goods to Chengdu."
"Mountain goods? Open it and take a look." The man in black held Mosinnagan, and kept slipping towards the carriage while talking, giving Yang Qiu a very strange feeling. It was not surprising that there were checkouts in Sichuan at this moment, but these people seemed... unauthorized.
"This is not appropriate..."
Seeing a man in black wearing a gun, Xiao Anguo hurriedly went up to negotiate, but the other party asked to check the carriage after a few words, which made him a little nervous. You must know that these guns are now powder kegs, and once exposed, it would be really bad.
"What's wrong!" The man in black with a gun pointed at Yang Qiu and others and said vigilantly: "Sichuan has not been peaceful recently. Our boss has obeyed the order of Brother Laohui to strictly investigate this section of the road. Now we suspect that you are spies sent by the Qing court to seize the railway!"
"I'm sorry, it's Brother Pao who has something to do with the Democratic Party!" Ma Kui came to Yang Qiu and muttered.
"Brother Pao? Brother is good at it!"
Yang Qiu remembered the saying "A word of intimate call to the robe brother, there are many knights in Xichuan." Legend has it that the Brother Laohui and the Heaven and Earth Society are still involved. In the late Qing Dynasty, these Brother Laohui, who were wearing fierce swords and traveling wildly in the towns, had a great influence in Sichuan.
When Ma Kui saw Yang Qiu frowned, he thought he didn't know about Ge Laohui, so he was on guard and introduced: "Brother Pao is also called Ge Laohui. They are very famous in Sichuan. Qin Zaigen, one of his family members, is said to have joined the Democratic Party members over the years. Judging from this situation, we can't get over it."
"Brother Ma, I can't understand one thing. We are an official army, so why do we still dodge and show our identity directly? What else can they do!" Yang Qiu asked as a casual young man.
"How is it?" Ma Kui sneered: "Now there are party members everywhere in Sichuan, Guangzhou and Shanghai are all here to get into trouble. In addition, these brothers who are born and raised are not afraid of the world, the news that we bring the gun to the Sichuan Governor's Office will spread throughout Sichuan in less than a long time."
"If you pass it, you will pass it. I'm afraid." Although Bingwen was born with a baby face, he had a bad temper. He immediately said angrily after hearing it.
"Hu Zi, Bingwen. You are still young. This place is no better than its province. Sichuan has been in a very complicated way. There are local natives in Miaozang. Now there are people from the Democratic Party who are provoking trouble. Even Lord Zhang and Lord Li dare not underestimate it. So we ordered us to carry out a secret escort in a light and simple way. If it is simple, we will have to suffer this number."
"Revolutionary Party..." Yang Qiu muttered softly, and when he saw Xiao Anguo still quarrel with the other party, he asked: "Brother Ma, do you believe them?"
Ma Kui smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket but did not light it. He put it under his nose and smelled it. After suddenly asking, "Hu Zi, you have been drinking foreign ink in Shanghai for seven or eight years. Do you believe in their trick?"
Yang Qiu was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, this Henan man with a slutty face and a rough appearance would ask himself, saying that, those who have gone abroad or attended new schools or foreign schools in recent years and received new ideas are not revolutionary and revolutionary.
To use the popular sayings from later generations, this is called... fashion.
Can fashion save the country?
If Yang Qiu had been in the past, he would never have shaken this belief. However, after just visiting the Xinhai Revolution Memorial Hall and knowing that the domestic chaos has lasted for decades since Xinhai, modern people who have no idea of choosing. Especially in the face of the previous militants who were just gangsters who were just gangsters who made a fortune in the name of revolution, the party members would actually cooperate with them and equipped the guns they bought from Japan, which itself shows a lot of problems.
Yang Qiu took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "Brother Ma, have you heard a word?"
"What's the matter?"
"Illegal armed forces!" Yang Qiu tilted the corner of his mouth and spit out four words. Bingwen, who was on guard next to him, kept pricking his ears and grinning after hearing this.
"Illegal armed?" Ma Kui scratched his head and wondered what this meant. Yang Qiu suddenly found something flashing in the low woods ahead, and then all his hair stood up.
"Cao Mud Horse, how could they have this thing!"
"Scatter and hide!"
In the flash of lightning, Yang Qiu first pushed Bingwen and Ma Kui hard, and before they could wait, they got up, then rushed onto the carriage, kicked his legs suddenly, and then pounced on Xiao Anguo like an eagle falcon.
"Sir, be careful!"
