Chapter 57 Bloody

Shao Quanzhong put his hand on the holster and at that moment he had the urge to shoot the person who was reporting the incident.

Instead, Rong Hui pointed her index finger at Shao Quanzhong's chest and said, "Go quickly. Since I chose you, I already knew that you have no choice. I won't leave. We have a long way to go."

Well, Shao Quanzhong was a hero after all, not a tyrant, so he rushed to the weir with his personal soldiers.

When Shao Quanzhong saw Tian Xing, his face was as gloomy as water.

Shao Quanzhong got to know Tian Xing because he secretly released Tian Xing when he was arrested. They later collaborated to defraud the reward money.

When Tian Xing was captured and faced execution, he did not have this expression.

"Brother, what happened?"

"See for yourself."

Tian Xing pointed at the sack on the ground and said, "It should have been sent by the Qinhu bandits. They threw it at the gate of our village and ran away."

Shao Quanzhong had already smelled the blood and was mentally prepared. When he opened the sack, he saw that it was Wang Si, the devil.

The situation is similar to that of Wang Lao Hu who went to Zhenwu Temple Village to eat the rich people...

Shao Quanzhong didn't seem angry, he even chuckled and gnashed his teeth, "Cut the spy we sent into pieces, these pirates are demonstrating to me, Shao.

Damn it, I was scared!"

He pulled out his revolver and fired three shots into the air. "I swear here that I will not spare any of the Qinhu bandits. They will all be buried with Brother Wang."

A middle-aged woman came running with a child about ten years old. When they opened the sack, the middle-aged woman fainted immediately.

The child was relatively calm and called the doctor in the village to treat his unconscious mother.

Shao Quanzhong looked at the son left behind by Wang Siguizi in surprise and patted him on the shoulder, "Good boy, I shed blood but not tears. Don't worry, uncle will definitely avenge your father."

Shao Quanzhong had someone spread a white cloth on the ground and personally assembled Wang Siguizi's body, preparing for burial with careful and gentle movements.

Of course, Shao Quanzhong would not have any fear.

What's rare is that the child next to him also came to help. His little face was tense and his arms were shaking, which is quite impressive for a child.

"Uncle Shao, can you give me a gun? I want to fight the Qinhu bandits too."

"You are too young, this is a matter for adults.

Don't worry, after two months, our two battalions will be well trained and we will directly surround Qinhu Lake. We will surround it with iron walls and search it with dragnets, and not a single enemy will be let go."

"Uncle Shao—there's a problem here."

Huh? Shao Quanzhong was confused when he saw the child pointing at a wound on his father's calf and calling him.

Wang Si, the devil, has changed into this shape. What can he do if his wounds become more or less?

"This wound has already healed, it's not new. But my father has never been injured on his legs before."

That is to say, this wound was left after he joined the gang in Chenhu and before he was killed.

Getting injured accidentally in Qinhu Lake is nothing.

Tian Xing frowned, "I think there is a problem. I know this nephew, he is very careful and never offends anyone.

Normally he never fights with others and is always tolerant. If he doesn't take action, it's fine. But if he does, it's fatal.

The only wound he had ever received was from a musket bullet at the port shop. There was something strange about the wound.

Scratching his head, Tian Xing took out a dagger and gently cut open the wound, revealing a paper roll hidden inside.

The scroll was already stained with blood. When it was opened, it turned out to be a simple topographic map.

The locations of various bandit dens in Qinhu Lake are marked above.

Shao Quanzhong was a tough guy, but his eyes were moist at this time. "Brother Wang is very loyal. This is probably because he thought he couldn't get away, so he hid it in his flesh.

This kind of hero who is willing to sacrifice his life for a sense of justice is what I admire most in my life."

Holding the blood-stained topographic map in his hand, Shao Quanzhong rolled his eyes and put his hands on the child's shoulders.

"No need to wait two months, our revenge will be taken right away!

I will make sure those pirates in Qinhu Lake don’t survive tomorrow!

Sven, blow the whistle, emergency assembly! "

A shrill whistle sounded and all the soldiers in the village gathered urgently.

In the darkness of night, the sound of military boots could be heard everywhere in the village. Even Le Xiucai came hurriedly from the classroom with his scouts, carrying a revolver.

In one battle, the Zhongzi Camp destroyed the foreign rifle team and seized 150 rifles, five command swords, and five revolvers.

Shao Quanzhong distributed the pistols to Shao Hengzhong, Tian Xing, Haiqing, Song Laosan and Le Sen. Shao Quanzhong kept a command knife for himself, but Le Sen, a civilian, did not have one.

The seized rifle was an American-style Springfield P1855. Not many bullets were seized, and they were not compatible with the British rifle bullets used by the Zhongzi Battalion, so they had not been distributed before.

Two battalions of 1,000 regular soldiers, 10 officers, 10 gendarmes, 20 troopers who were not sent out at home, 360 logistics officers, and 60 boy scouts were assembled.
Shao Quanzhong ordered Le Sen, "The Boy Scouts will stay behind, and pick out a hundred logistics soldiers to guard the house. Distribute the captured American rifles to the logistics soldiers who will go on the expedition, and then we will all set off."

"My lord, the new recruits and the Heng Battalion have only been training for eight days, and each of them has only fired ten bullets in total..."

Shao Quanzhong glared, "Ten rounds is not a small number. The first time the Zhongzi Battalion fought against bandits, everyone only fired five rounds, but the bandits were defeated, didn't they?

This time we have to catch the bandits completely off guard. By the time we are ready, they will get the news and flee in all directions, and we will be unable to catch them."

During the first training session, the formation practiced for nine days because Shao Quanzhong had gone to Shanghai and was not at home, and everyone had not yet learned other items.

This time the training was conducted by people from the Zhongzi Camp trained by Shao Quanzhong, and of course all the projects were balanced.

If the training is normal, it will probably take three months before the recruits can touch a gun.

Now is not a normal period, and the newly born Huai Army is extremely short of manpower.

In order to deal with emergencies that might occur at any time, Shao Quanzhong ordered that no matter how much bullets were wasted, they should start by feeding them with bullets and train a batch of temporary ones first.

Sure enough, an emergency has now occurred.

"My Lord, how many days of food do you need?"

"Qinhu Lake is three hours away from here by water. We don't need to bring any food with us. The spare rations in our backpacks are enough.

Let's set out right away and tell the kitchen staff that we'll be back to eat meat tomorrow at noon."

"My lord, there are not enough sampans to accommodate more than a thousand people."

"Requisition the merchant ships at Hailing Port!"

The military situation was urgent. One thousand three hundred soldiers ran forward in the night. Including American rifles, there were only one thousand two hundred and fifty guns, and fifty logistics soldiers were carrying goose-feather knives.

The Huai Army now had a total of 46 sampans, including the small boat that Song Laosan had rowed over. The sampans were full of people. The rest ran to the port and robbed any merchant ships they saw. Without thinking twice, they drove all the people off the ships.

Some of the merchants on the boat cried and screamed, some cursed, and ran to Shao Quanzhong to protest.

Shao Quanzhong clasped his fists towards the protesting merchants and said, "I'm sorry, the military situation is urgent and we have to requisition them temporarily.

You can go and protest to Master Wu Wenxi, and I will take care of it later and guarantee to compensate for your losses."

The troops were on board quickly and within just over ten minutes, all the troops were on board.

Shao Quanzhong raised his command knife and swung it vigorously, "Let's go!"
