martial law

He soon discovered that as time went by, no one listened to him anymore, and he could not even raise funds to ensure the normal operation of the temporary agency.

One can imagine how things will develop next.

Son of Heaven, those with strong soldiers and strong horses live there.

In this day and age, apart from Yuan Shuangcheng, who would dare to say that soldiers are strong and horses are strong?

Therefore, it is only natural that Yuan Shuangcheng took away the final fruit of victory with ease.

And what about Yang Lin?

How can such a big light bulb who has a feud with Yuan Shuangcheng live in Shanghai safely?

In other words, which province or county can he be in without being encircled by the opponent's army?

Therefore, only to go to the country...

go away.

Still the same sentence, people who have a family and a house always have to think more and think more steadily.

For the safety of the Yang family, he would rather take a step back.

As for whether to go further in the future, we will wait and see.

……

"At the pier, I have already made arrangements. The British army will also react a few steps slower...

General Fujita, this matter is for you to do on your own, it has nothing to do with me, you have to understand. "

Chen Zimei's voice was low, and she stood in the shadow of the street lamp, showing no expression.

Takeshi Fujita bowed politely: "Don't worry, we value credit the most. No matter how courageous I, Fujita, will destroy what the Prime Minister promised.

I still wish you prosperous martial arts and success in no time. "

After he finished speaking, he turned and left without further words.

Qiu Ye followed behind, took a few steps slower, and said with a soft smile: "Chen Sang, in fact, you have long been displeased with that one.

No matter where you are, you will never wait to see such a powerful person who breaks the unity and breaks all rules, so we have been helping you..."

He put on his top hat, shook his head, and walked into the darkness.

Chapter 138

It was nine o'clock in the evening.

In the city of Shanghai, no matter they are high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen or ordinary people.

All were crushed by one message.

"Extra, extra, the Beiyang army has arrived thirty miles outside of Shanghai and is camping on the north shore of Laoming Lake. It is expected to launch an attack tomorrow."

"Outside the title, the Beiyang Army Fuyuan was unified into Fang Yuan and led 20 elite soldiers to the outside of Shanghai. There were a total of 4 30-pound steel guns, 30 rear-bore cannons, and [-] imported Maxine machine guns. They were well-equipped. This time they came Those who are not good."

"It's not good, there's going to be a war."

All around are ordinary people in Shanghai rushing to tell each other.

It was like the end of the world was coming, and as he ran, he cried and howled loudly.

In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs.

who is not afraid.

The upper-class people who used to have fun in the past, at this time, don't care about enjoying the prosperity anymore, and just wait nervously for the news.

Looking at the chaotic militia soldiers passing by from time to time on the street, my heart is in a mess and I have no idea.

This has something to do with the unique situation in Shanghai.

The real concession is actually quite safe.

Because the great powers all have the right to garrison troops in the concession and have the right to govern the law.

Their strength is very strong, even if the Beiyang army enters the city, they will not disturb them at all.

But it is precisely because of the garrison of the great powers that Shanghai's local power is pitifully weak.

They are nothing more than soldiers jointly trained by major families and major chambers of commerce.

It is okay for these mobs to protect their family property and fight against the wind.

If you want to fight against the famous Beiyang new army, the gap is not so big.

Really let those Beiyang troops equipped with imported elite weapons enter the city, these people may not be able to hold on for too long at all, and it is estimated that they will not be able to hold out for three days.

Unless, unless a foreign garrison also joins the defense.

But such expectations are obviously unreliable.

It is still unknown whether those foreign troops will participate in the defense of Shanghai.

Because, no matter which forces are stationed in Shanghai, they must give them face and not infringe on their interests.

Overall, the situation is especially grim for ordinary people.

For Yang Lin's family, this news couldn't be worse.

……

Everyone in the Fist of Fury was completely out of mood to sleep at this moment.

Nong Jinsun, Huo Yuanjia and others stared nervously at the red eyes, kept the lights on, and waited.

They know better than anyone that this time period is the most critical time.

The Tongxing Society has conspired to unite and decided to start fighting within three months, from south to north, setting off a wave of anti-Qing.

Unexpectedly, when the preparations were in full swing, a blow to the head was ushered in.

The Beiyang army changed their usual ambiguous attitude, and even made it clear that they wanted to infect the guide.

On the surface it is said that he is here for revenge, but no one knows the real intention.

As long as you hear the cannons and machine guns in the news, you will know that the other party is definitely not here to play.

Its ambitions are palpable.

……

Sleepless all night, waiting until the sky began to show a hint of fishy white.

Nong Jinsun was still sitting at the tea table, playing chess with Huo Yuanjia, staying up all night.

At this moment, no one's mind is on chess.

Especially Nong Jinsun, from time to time he would look at the telegraph in the living room.

Waiting for first-hand word on what might come.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, the hall trembled and shook.

There was dust rustling down.

Nong Jinsun shuddered, his face full of disbelief.

"This, entered the city so soon? Impossible."

He hissed, stepped to the door in two strides, and looked up.

I saw that the southeast direction not far away from me was already full of flames.

Visible to the naked eye, from time to time there will be meteor-like flames across the sky, falling straight down, exploding a burst of flames in the buildings on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there was an uproar of people, shouting and killing.

There was a sound of "da da da" in a hurry and connected into one's ears.

Indistinctly, groups of soldiers could be seen, walking fast with guns in their hands.

"That's the Yang family."

"Is it aimed at Yang Lin? Did the Beiyang Army march so fast? They pulled up artillery and rushed into the city with machine guns overnight. What are the people in the business group doing? Didn't they block it at all?"

Nong Jinsun's eyes were red.

He roared out of breath.

It is only two or three miles away from the street where Yang's family is located, and it can already be seen clearly from the fire and the twilight sky that just lit up.

The Yang family has been surrounded on three sides...

In addition to the sudden attack with powerful weapons, there were more than [-] soldiers who came to make a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning.

Standing at the Jingwumen archway on a relatively high ground, one can see that the streets and alleys in the distance are covered in darkness, full of human figures.

"No, those soldiers wore net helmets and narrow caps. Their military uniforms were khaki, not sky blue wide-brimmed caps. They were not Beiyang soldiers, but Japanese soldiers."

Chen Zhen's eyes were sharp, and he came to his senses and cried out.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Mitsuko Yamada beside him, and saw that Miss Mitsuko's eyes were also full of horror.

Apparently, she saw it too.

"No, Master Yang's family is in danger, I want to go there."

Chen Zhen looked anxious.

"There are too many enemies. I will go to the Tianyuan Building to find the old master. He is currently training recruits. He should be able to pull out a team..."

Li Tongyun also looked very anxious, turned around and was about to leave.

Xiaohui was about to cry.

Follow Chen Zhen and rush out.

The other disciples of Fist of Fury were all excited and wanted to rush out.

"Stop all of them."

Nong Jinsun gasped and shouted: "What's the use of going now, the Japanese soldiers came prepared, and first plowed it with artillery...

Now that the Yang family has been almost razed to the ground, what's the use of you going there, it's nothing more than getting into the encirclement and becoming a rake, killing your life in vain. "

"Then I can't, I can't just watch the Eighth Junior Sister's family, just like that... just like that..." Xiaohui's tears were shallow, and she was already crying at this time.

"Maybe they escaped some people, let's go and meet them."

"Wait a moment."

Huo Yuanjia spoke suddenly.

During this period of time, he has been cultivating his body and mind, and his condition has actually improved a lot.

At this time, standing on a high place, with majestic eyes, people feel at ease: "The matter is not that serious, think about it, what is Master Yang's attitude when he is still in Jingwumen during the day?"

A word awakens the dreamer.

That's right, before Yang Linlin left, he taught him all his martial arts, he almost said that this was the last teaching before parting.

In fact, everyone saw it.

The other party is very determined to go, and is likely to leave immediately.

So, since he sensed the danger and was about to leave, how could he be caught off guard by the Japanese army?

……

Everyone settled down.

Huo Yuanjia said again: "Tong Yun, don't go to see Master Zhang, lest he be in a dilemma."

The words were a bit cryptic, but Nong Jinsun who was next to him heaved a long sigh.

Several people delayed for a while and said a few words, but they were not yet ready for what to do next.

Suddenly, the situation in the distance changed.

First of all, there are a few points that burst out with long flames and flames.

Almost at the same time, the bullets had stopped spraying, and the flames went out.
