Xie Jiaofeng was the person who experienced this incident from beginning to end. In a very short period of time, he saw both sides of Qi Xuansu.
With a calm face, facing a group of defenseless people, he not only did not use force, but also kept a very low profile. He did not say a harsh word or threaten. In addition to patiently presenting facts and reasoning, he was more
Asking everyone to do whatever they want is why Qi Xuansu can persuade people to leave in just a few words. This attitude itself is a kind of sincerity.
On the other side, like winter, facing a group of thugs armed with murderous weapons, Qi Xuansu showed no mercy. He dared to make the decision that others did not dare to make, and directly used force to clear the scene.
When he faced the ordinary people, he asked them to give him thirty days. When facing this group of thugs, he only gave him one hour.
Qi Xuansu was never afraid of stopping wars with war and fighting violence with violence. .??.
It has to be said that although Master Donghua is Qi Xuansu's boss and Master Cihang is Qi Xuansu's quasi-mother-in-law, Master Qingwei is half of Qi Xuansu's teacher. Many of his actions on the Fenglinzhou battlefield gave Qi Xuansu considerable inspiration.
, allowing his concepts and ideas to mature quickly. And Borneo became the place where Qi Xuansu tested his ideas and hone himself, allowing his methods of doing things to mature accordingly.
These two aspects, if the first one is learned by Qi Xuansu and belongs to the growth part, then the second aspect is Qi Xuansu's original character. A person from a low-level Jianghu background does not use force to kill, but should he speak with human feelings and sophistication?
?
Qi Xuansu's order was quickly implemented, and the Nanting Protectorate issued a martial law order. In addition to posting it, there were also dedicated personnel to loudly publicize it.
This did have some effect. The spectators at least did not dare to watch the excitement. Some people were frightened and took some advantage and went home quickly.
These people may not have been inspired, but they have evil intentions. When they see a profit, they will make trouble. Just like after a major disaster, some people do not think about rescuing people or fleeing, but take the opportunity to rob homes. It is the same nature.
.
Qi Xuansu can't take care of them now. He will worry about it later. Now he mainly wants to deal with those who take money to do things.
An hour is not long or short.
An hour later, there were far fewer people making trouble than before, but there was still no word "less".
Two West Borneo people were slashing at the door panel of a trading company with axes, causing sawdust to fly. Although the West Borneo people were oppressed by the West Borneo company, a considerable number of West Borneo people acted as servants and accomplices. On the contrary,
Going too far and bullying others is the "wonderful" thing about human nature.
It is not good for Westerners to break up with the Taoists directly. Although they are one of the masterminds, they usually do not take action personally. Most of the time they hide behind the scenes and send some scapegoats.
The two of them chopped for a long time because the door
The board is too thick and will have little effect.
One of them said, "This door is too strong. I need to find someone else to do it."
Another person said, "Find a big wooden pillar and just smash it open."
"Yes, let's do it." The two of them glanced around a few times and saw a pillar as thick as a bowl outside a shop on the street not far away, supporting the protruding eaves.
The two came to the pillar and looked up and down, "This is the pillar."
After that, the two of them raised their axes and chopped off the bottom of the pillar one at a time. Soon, two deep holes were cut diagonally on both sides of the pillar.
A Xibosu man shouted, "That's almost it. If a few more people come, we'll knock them down!"
A few more people from Xibosuo came running over.
A man from Xibosuo hesitated and said, "If this thing collapses, it will hit people."
The leader of the West Posas Island man said, "You can't be killed by smashing it."
After saying that, he took the lead and kicked the pillar hard with his feet.
The pillar shook but still did not fall. Several tiles fell off from the eaves, making a loud noise when they hit the street.
"What are you doing!" someone shouted in the shop.
A West Borneo man hit the window with an ax in his hand and threatened viciously, "If you scream again, I will burn down your house and kill your whole family!"
The people inside immediately stopped talking.
A West Borneo man shouted, "Everyone take turns!"
A man from Xibosuo ran over and bumped him hard with his shoulder, causing the pillar to shake violently.
Others followed suit and took turns hitting the pillar. After a while, the pillar fell to the ground, and the eaves supported by the pillar also fell down.
Those people from the West Posas Island quickly moved out of the way.
The Xibasazhou people kicked the pillar and shouted, "Carry it away!"
Several people raised the pillars and went back to knock on the door.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves on the side street. Several people stopped.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen riders galloped over from the side street.
The horse team stopped beside these West Posas people carrying pillars, and several horses were walking around them.
Several people from Xibosuzhou were confused.
Immediately there was a man in black with a murderous aura, his sword unsheathed.
headed by
A black-clothed sentry officer shouted, "Put down the weapon in your hand."
The first reaction of these people from Xibasa Island was not to resist, nor to be captured without mercy, but to throw down the wooden pillars, get short, get under the horse's belly, and start running away.
The sentry said nothing, but made a gesture.
The cavalry then scattered, each locked on a target and pursued it, raising their sabers high.
Similar scenes occur in every corner of areas where chaos breaks out.
A group of pirates who relied on their good skills defeated a small group of cavalry and became more and more arrogant. However, when they turned a corner and entered the street from an alley, they were completely shocked by the scene in front of them.
A black "wall" appeared on the empty street. It was a shield wall formed by people in black with their shields.
A black gun tube protruded from the gap in the shield wall, and the black muzzle pointed at them.
Before they could retreat to the alley, the cannons were fired, and no one in the group of pirates was spared. They were all killed by the cannons.
The black shield wall continued to advance forward, and the uniform footsteps trampled on the empty streets, making a shocking sound. Viewed from a high altitude, it looked like a black tide that was slowly spreading.
These are not the men in black who are usually responsible for maintaining law and order, but the men in black stationed in the military camp. They are a "big army" in the true sense. Regardless of quality, discipline, equipment, realm cultivation, and combat experience,
They are all incomparable.
Not everything went so smoothly. Some thieves were well prepared. They not only built street forts, but also seized favorable terrain. They also possessed a large number of firearms and started a head-on confrontation with the men in black who came to suppress them.
In the meantime, it was impossible to take it down.
Because the urban terrain is relatively complex, it is difficult for the people in black to carry heavy firearms for attacking fortresses, but the people in black will still ask for support.
Soon, two small airships received the signal from the man in black and flew down from the sky. They were Daomen's crane boats.
I saw two crane boats each dropping a "Fengyan Jiajiu", accurately hitting the target and killing all the thieves in these fortresses.
These are the spiritual officials from the Xuanwei Department of Old Port. Before the establishment of the Lion City, Old Port was the largest port in this area. The distance between the two was not far. The spiritual officials took a flying boat, so they arrived in a blink of an eye.
Looking up, I saw three "Purple Dragons" in a Z-shaped array, slowly advancing at a speed slightly faster than hovering, and surrounded by many crane boats. Even if they were not "Yinglong", they still felt very oppressive.
Qi Xuansu gave these thieves an hour and Qin Heng
Within two hours, Qin Hengjun was ordered to eliminate all thieves and restore basic order within the two hours when martial law officially came into effect.
Logically speaking, Qi Xuansu is not qualified to issue orders to Qin Hengjun, but he does extraordinary things at extraordinary times. The key is that Qin Hengjun cannot make a decision. Qi Xuansu is willing to take the main responsibility, so he is qualified to issue orders. Qin Hengjun naturally obeys Qi Xuansu's orders. This
It is similar to the phrase "in my name" by Donghua Zhenren.
Power and responsibility are always equal. If you have power, you must bear responsibility. There is no such thing as having power but not taking responsibility.
Qi Xuansu doesn't like the phrase "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." The danger of this statement is that it deliberately omits a link. It should be that the greater the ability, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. It has always been the integration of power and responsibility.
The statement that ability and responsibility are integrated, if power is omitted, will make people only talk about dedication without asking for anything in return.
To put it another way, if the responsibilities are all shouldered by those with great ability, but these capable people are not in power, and all of them are doing chivalry, then what are the people in power doing? If they cannot bear responsibility, then why?
Take power?
If no one wants to take responsibility, it will turn into endless buck-passing and wrangling, delaying the opportunity, and it is easy for a small misfortune to turn into a big one.
Of course, having the courage to take responsibility is a double-edged sword. In terms of results alone, there is only a thin line between decisiveness and recklessness.
A fleeing Westerner was already panicking. He climbed over a wall and found an alley on the other side. As soon as he landed, he saw a man in black standing at the exit of the alley.
The man in black had already raised the long blunderbuss in his hand.
There was no verbal communication, just the sound of a cannon.
The Westerner fell on his back, with a pitch-black hole appearing on his forehead. The pool of blood on the back of his head gradually grew larger. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the sky, with the incandescent sun reflected in his blue eyes.
The thieves who caused the chaos were quickly divided and eliminated one by one, and the sounds on the street gradually became quieter.
Those who surrendered were chained together and escorted by men in black, one by one, toward the military camp.
As the sound of horse hooves faded away, there was the sound of uniform footsteps again.
Except for some of the men in black who were on alert, these later men in black did not wear armor or carry weapons. They were mainly responsible for cleaning up the mess. Some people carried the bodies onto carts, stacked them neatly, and transported them to Yizhuang outside the city.
There are also people responsible for putting out fires and cleaning up the remains of various street castles on the streets.
Finally, there is the water tanker, which washes the streets again.
