The British soldiers who were responsible for guarding the consulate were well-trained and ran out of the house immediately after hearing the sound of gunfire. Most of them were not even wearing clothes. The people on the second floor were big shots. If an accident happened, these soldiers would not be able to escape responsibility. They
One by one, they rushed toward the second floor with guns in hand like crazy.
Huo Qubing and six others who were in the stairwell were stunned when they heard the gunfire. Before they had time to react, many British soldiers had gathered downstairs. Huo Qubing immediately ordered his men to enter the room on the second floor, preparing to do whatever they wanted without stopping.
First capture the big shots in the consulate, and then use the hostages to deal with the British soldiers.
All six of them were wearing black scarves. Even if they were holding the British consul hostage, they would not be exposed as long as they could escape. Huo Qubing made a good plan. When he entered a room, he was completely shocked to see the foreigner being killed on the bed. This
The foreigners in the room had their necks cut with daggers and there was a bullet hole in their foreheads. They were already dead.
Huo Qubing felt that he was very unlucky. He was about to break into the consulate to find experimental data, but he met an assassin who came to kill the consul. You said you would kill the consul. Can't you use a knife to solve the problem? Before leaving, he fired a shot and led to the first floor.
Didn't the soldiers deliberately deceive the six people who came up next?
Huo Qubing was depressed for a moment and then walked out of the corridor. At this time, his men were confronting the British soldiers with the help of obstacles. Huo Qubing ordered four people to guard the corridor. He and another player entered the room and wanted to use sheets to form a rope and fall down.
The second floor is four meters high from the ground. Chen Hao and Lin Heier, who have practiced Qing Gong, do not dare to jump directly, nor does Huo Qubing. He is very clear-headed now, and it will be okay even if the four players under him are exposed, but he and his right-hand assistant
Hua Wuque must leave. He has taken up a position in Jingbei, and Hua Wuque is responsible for the work in Hankou. If he is wanted by the court, it will have a great impact on his layout in the game.
The stairway was very narrow, and the four players after Huo Qubing's order were all elites. With the advantage of the terrain, they had no problem temporarily resisting the British soldiers. After holding on for three minutes, only two of the four players were left. When they heard that there was no sound in the house
He breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Boss Huo and Boss Hua escaped, it didn't matter if they died.
In the game, the corpse will be refreshed after a period of time, so even if you die, your identity will be exposed. Players behind the scenes do not need legal identities, and they are not afraid of this. Huo Qubing and Hua Wuque are not afraid of dying and falling to level one, but they cannot hang in the game.
In the consulate, otherwise the official status of the two people will be destroyed.
Three British soldiers died during the gunfight. After killing four players, they entered the first room and were surprised to find the translator dead on the bed. Two masked men were sleeping soundly on the floor in front of the bed, and the British soldiers
They arrested these two people like wolves and tigers, and after catching two alive, they were finally able to explain to their superiors.
Huo Qubing and Hua Wuque failed to escape. Lin Heier had put smoke in every room earlier. After a long interval, the smoke dissipated a lot. It was okay to enter the house in a short time. Huo Qubing was a little dizzy when he came out of the house.
Mind you, when he entered the house again and prepared to escape, he and Hua Wuque were delayed for a minute in picking up the sheets, so they were fainted by the smoke.
Huo Qubing and Hua Wuque were tragically captured alive. After the British soldiers tied them up, they stuffed rags in their mouths. Now they couldn't commit suicide even if they wanted to. After they woke up, they looked at each other and they became assassins.
The criminal of the British Consul has been caught and now it is useless no matter how he identifies him.
That night, a British lieutenant interrogated the two men. Huo Qubing insisted that he was tracking some murderous bandits. The bandits rushed into the room. Huo Qubing and others chased them in because they didn't know it was the consulate.
According to him, the murderer was someone else. The British lieutenant did not accept this at all. He could not escape responsibility for the murder of eight staff members including the translator. Catching the two murderers could negate the crime, even if Huo Qubing and Hua Wuque were killed.
Even if they weren't murderers, he would find ways to turn them into murderers, not to mention that their explanations were full of mistakes.
The British lieutenant pointed out the flaws of Huo Qubing and Huo Qubing on the spot. First, Huo Qubing used a Mauser pistol, and the bullets on the translator happened to be Mauser pistol bullets. Secondly, after the gunfire rang out, the British lieutenant believed that his subordinates responded quickly.
He rushed to the second floor in an instant. If the murderer was someone else, there would be no way he could escape in time.
Huo Qubing pointed out that the murderer might have jumped from the window to escape. The British lieutenant sneered: "How could the murderer go down from the second floor to the backyard without a rope? We didn't see a rope at the scene, but you two murderers wanted to use a bed sheet to form a rope to escape.
, Fortunately, we arrived in time to stop it. Well, whether you plead guilty or not, you must sign this plea application, and don’t ask for trouble.
A total of thirteen foreigners were killed in this incident. In addition to eight consulate staff, including translators, there were also five soldiers responsible for guarding. Fortunately, Murphy, the British consul in Hankou, did not return from the banquet.
Those who were lucky enough to escape were the less important staff who died.
Thirteen foreigners were killed, and they were all British consulate staff and soldiers. This was undoubtedly a major diplomatic incident. When the British consul Murphy came back, he was furious and immediately went to Wuchang to see Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, and asked Zhang Zhidong
Give me an explanation. Zhang Zhidong first tried his best to appease the British consul, and then sent a message to the Empress Dowager Cixi to ask for instructions on what to do.
The Empress Dowager Cixi was really frightened by the foreigners. After returning to Kyoto, she responded to the foreigners' requests and ordered all localities to encircle and suppress the Boxer Rebellion bandits. Anyone who was a remnant of the Boxer Rebellion would be killed without mercy, and all officials who failed to suppress the bandits would be dismissed from their posts. It can be seen from this that
Cixi was so afraid of foreigners.
After receiving the telegram from Zhang Zhidong, Cixi was so shocked that she dropped the telegram to the ground. After she called back and scolded Zhang Zhidong, she asked Zhang Zhidong to try his best to meet the British requirements. After receiving the reply, Zhang Zhidong became more cautious.
With a smile on his face, he asked the British consul how to solve the problem, and the British consul put forward some suggestions.
The first is to severely punish the murderer. Since the murderer who assassinated the consulate staff is a stranger, the stranger will not really die, so after killing the stranger, he will be wanted nationwide; the second is to pay compensation. Those who were killed in the British Consulate
Thirteen people, each calculated at 100,000 taels of silver, total compensation of 1.3 million taels of silver; the third item is to increase the area leased by the British in Hankou, and from now on Chinese will not be allowed to enter the concession.
After Zhang Zhidong asked Cixi for instructions, he fully agreed to the British conditions, and the compensation was added to the Gengzi Indemnity to be repaid together; the area of the concession was doubled, and Chinese who entered the consulate were patrolled by the British and had the right to execute; the murderer of the consulate staff was relieved of all duties
They were sentenced to death by execution. After the beheading, the court issued a nationwide arrest warrant for the two strangers.
A diplomatic turmoil subsided, and the most unlucky ones were Huo Qubing and Hua Wuque. Huo Qubing lost his position as assistant to the sixth rank in Jingbei Province, and Hua Wuque lost his position as the seventh rank in Hankou. From then on, the two
They are all wanted criminals by the court. They can only change their beliefs and join the Communist Party, because they will be hunted down no matter where they appear.
The smooth development of Huo Qubing's base in Jingbei largely relied on his good relationship with Zhang Zhidong. Such a big thing happened this time, no matter how much Zhang Zhidong appreciated him, he was finished. He himself was sentenced to beheading
It doesn't matter, but the base area was established in his name. Can the cave accommodate him without him to shelter him from the wind and rain?
After the British achieved their goal, they also gave the Qing Dynasty some face. The murderer was handed over to the Qing government. Huo Qubing and Hua Wuque were sent to Wuchang Prison. The two were now less strictly guarded. They could commit suicide at any time, but suicide was not
It is inevitable that they are wanted by the court, and their identities as murderers have been confirmed.
In the prison, Huo Qubing and Hua Wuque learned about the situation they were facing. Hua Wuque broke the silence and said: "Boss, it is such a coincidence that we are unlucky this time. At first, I thought it was a task process. After all, it is related to the task of formulating smokeless gunpowder.
It won’t be simple. Now that the two of us are locked up, we will be executed, and after the execution, we will be wanted across the country, which has nothing to do with the mission.”
Huo Qubing said coldly: "This is the punishment for mission failure. As long as the test data is obtained at the consulate and handed over to Xu Jianyin, the mission can be completed. However, the consulate is heavily guarded and the mission is difficult. The consequences of failure will also be discovered.
It’s very serious. We have become someone else’s scapegoat this time. I think someone has given the test data to Xu Jianyin now. We have no chance to complete the task and are in bad luck.”
Hua Wuque said with a shocked look on his face: "Boss, you mean to say that someone else did the same task as us, and he took away the experimental data, but we became his scapegoat?"
Huo Qubing nodded and said: "I shouldn't be too particular about my demeanor. I should directly order Cheng Zihao to be killed first to prevent future troubles. As expected, it was Cheng Zihao who killed and took away the experimental data. He pretended to visit Xu Jianyin a few days ago to paralyze me.
, secretly arranged for someone to find out the information, snatched the experimental data, and then shot us deliberately to expose us as scapegoats."
Hua Wuque said in confusion: "So Cheng Zihao is so powerful? Even if he snatched the experimental data, the matter at the consulate is so big now, and he went to hand over the data to Xu Jianyin, Xu Jianyin must suspect that this matter is related to him. We were
He was put in jail, but he stole the experimental data and took advantage of it. I'm afraid Xu Jianyin will also have opinions about him!"
Huo Qubing sneered and said: "I have already thought of a way out. If nothing else, he will contact me soon to discuss how to deal with the aftermath."
Hua Wuque was dumbfounded and said: "Impossible! How could there be such a shameless person? He hurt us and still comes to discuss the aftermath with us. Boss, why would you cooperate with him?" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature,
