Tanggu City was indeed in chaos. At first, the gunshots from the Tongzhi Yamen only surprised the people, but when the dense gunshots like thunder came from the Western official roads, the people in the city were all in a panic.

The common people heard such dense gunfire when they landed in Dagukou, the British and French Allied Forces five years ago. The tragic battle was still vivid in their minds. Unexpectedly, they saw each other for a while today. Could it be that the foreign army has fought again? Is it impossible to live this day?

The common people threw away the rag that was worth a few dollars, rushed into the night with their families, and fled in the north and south directions. At first, there were only one or two families scattered, but the ten-minute intensive shooting of muskets made all the people let go of their unrealistic fantasies, and more people joined the torrent of escape.

The entire Tanggu City was in panic. Adults shouted on the streets, women and children cried bitterly, and gangsters took advantage of the chaos to rob money and sex. The big business closed the door and the foreign guns were loaded to protect themselves. Even foreigners began to use armed sailors to start protecting the expatriates. Many sea boats simply opened their decks to allow their people to board the ship quickly.

Of course, there are exceptions in chaos. For example, Matthew and Mike, two adventurous young men, are wearing a delicate cowboy riding suit, with bullet belts wrapped around their chests, two revolvers on their waists, and Matthew also has two Spencer on his back.

What's even more exaggerated is that Mike, who was carrying a big tripod on his shoulder, and his bulky camera poked the street and started shooting. The two of them were actually collecting the latest materials for "Matthew's Diary". They used the most advanced photography technology at the time to record this disorderly chaos.

No one cares about the rumors of taking photos and taking pictures. They were crazy and dispersed outside the city. Everyone was hiding from the official roads in the west, and there were also the Tongzhiyamen in chaos. Some gangsters who were in trouble didn't know that they had the wrong mind and wanted to rob the two foreigners who were taking photos. As a result, Spencer fired three guns into the sky, and these gangsters escaped faster than rabbits.

"God bless these poor people. What kind of government are they encountering? Can't even give the most basic order to the people? This is hell... Oh my God, Matthew, look, isn't that Xiao Letian's fireworks to call the police? It means a hundred thousand fires!"

Mike contacted Xiao Lotte earlier than Matthew. He knew that Xiao Lotte had a very interesting way of communication at night, which was this bright fireworks. Different colors represent different meanings, while this colorful ball fireworks represent one hundred thousand urgent fires, which shows that Xiao Lotte is already in great danger.

Yes, Xiao Letian is almost choking to death now. Although he just squeezed Sun Sanhu with words and made him dare not kill for money and could only catch the living, no one expected that this unethical bastard would light firewood in the limelight, burn it while splashing water, and make a roll of smoke and pour it into the house.

"Fan the fan, fan the air hard... bring all the peppers in the kitchen to me. I will choke them to death. Then I will catch them alive... smash the stones and smash all the windows for me. Be careful... "

The crossbow arrows and iron-sprayed foreign guns suppressed Xiao Letian and the others' counterattack. The thick smoke rolled and the coughing sounds were connected. In the room, Xiao Letian and the others were all lying on the ground. Among them, the old man Fan Ru was too old and was choked and almost died.

The guards used daggers to cut the curtains into pieces, sprayed them with water, and barely blocked some of the smoke and dust. Fan Jian lay beside his brother and said with great sincerity.

"My good brother, do you know what money we made today? This is all the money we worked hard at gunpoint. You can't do it. If you escape safely this time, you can go back to your hometown. This world is no longer what you thought..."

Fan Ru could no longer speak at this time, except for coughing, and tears flowed in his eyes, and they didn't know whether it was choking or tears of regret.

After a while, when the bright red pepper and the dark pepper star anise were scattered on the fire, the poisonous gas added was even more unbearable. The oldest Fan Ru could not resist it anymore and fainted on the ground with his eyes rolled.

"Brother, wake up quickly, brother... cough cough!" Fan Jian started coughing without saying a few words.

At this time, Sun Sanhu's roar came from outside, "Surrender, you can surrender quickly! Xiao Letian, I will tell you the truth. The Xiao family mansion is no longer safe now. Don't think it's great to leave fifty guards with guns. I've found out clearly. There are all your women in the door of the mansion. If you don't surrender, I will set fire to them. Don't think that my subordinates are all having a good meal!"

"Fuck! I think you dare..." Xiao Letian's lungs are about to burst into anger. On the one hand, it was caused by thick smoke, and on the other hand, it was a cowardly feeling after the battle plan was disrupted.

Xiao Letian really wanted to beat him up. Could it be that once Naha's victory made him expand to this point? He underestimated the enemy, seriously underestimated the enemy. Although the corrupt and declining Qing Dynasty had almost forgotten his ability to do good things, he did not lose the ability to do bad things and broke the situation at all, and even the more he studied it, the more mature he became.

"Fuck me, let me go out and kill him..." Master Long wanted to get angry on the spot, but Xiao Letian held him down. "Don't be impulsive, I'm a huge enemy and I can't do it recklessly. Let's send the signal, and let the most urgent signal. I won't believe me, Xiao Letian, don't even have a friend in my life?"

In the hands of Master Long, the special fireworks ball rushed diagonally into the sky along the window, and flowers exploded in the dark night, and the entire Tanggu City could clearly see it.

Sun Sanhu obviously didn't know what the use of this kind of fireworks was. He just thought Xiao Letian was sending a signal to his new army. He laughed arrogantly, "Sir Xiao, don't you rely on the Japanese army in your hands? I know the foreign guns in their hands are very powerful, but you remember that I have gathered two thousand green camp soldiers, and you can't kill them even if you are exhausted. When they come to save you, you will have become my prisoners, hahaha..."

Just as Sun Sanhu was laughing arrogantly, waves of thunder suddenly burst into Tanggu City. It was not clear at first, but it was already connected ten minutes later.

"Get together, rush... Save Mr. Xiao, save Lord Xiao..." Amid the shouts, Sun Sanhu's face turned extremely blue.

Matthew and Mike on the street in the distance silently recorded everything during the conflict with their cameras. The two of them were already excited and burst into tears. They never expected that when Xiao Letian's warning fireworks flew into the sky, the doors of countless merchants in Tanggu were opened, and the guy holding foreign guns rushed towards the Tongzhiyamen like crazy under the leadership of the shopkeeper.

"Run, run quickly, everyone accelerate, I will pay you three times the salary, I just need you to rescue Mr. Xiao..."

"Brothers, we can ask for a bowl of rice in Tanggu. Thanks to Xiao Letian's protection, we cannot forget our roots as human beings. Without Mr. Xiao, we are nothing..."

"If you work hard, you will work hard. Anyway, this family business is also given by Lotte Foreign Company. Even if it is ruined, it will not be a pity. Let's repay the kindness..."

The merchants led by Niu Zhanggui of Sihai Business, turned into iron-blooded generals one by one, and rushed towards the yamen with armed men against the flow of people.

Businessmen, although they are all slaves of money, they are also the pioneers in the entire society who open their eyes to see the world. Their vision will always be the most advanced.

During the summer riot, these merchants were bankrupt. It was Xiao Letian's grace that gave them a chance to revive again. They will never forget this kind of kindness. In the Qing Dynasty, when would there be a one- or two-cent loan? This is something that people dare not imagine, but only Xiao Letian, the two fools from overseas, lend them to everyone with such low interest.

Not only that, he doesn't play the game of profit-making, and he doesn't steal everyone's physical business. In the past few months, Lotte Foreign Company has been taking over business that everyone is unwilling to do or cannot do. This shows that Xiao Lotte is not here to steal everyone's business at all.

This is grace, this is affection. How can a person be ungrateful in his whole life? Anyway, this life was saved by Xiao Letian, so I will give it back to him today.

The merchants are very smart. They not only do their kindness, but also value actual interests. These maritime merchants know more or less what Xiao Letian did in Naba and are very clear about Xiao Letian's strength. In today's conflict, who else can they bet on if they don't bet on Xiao Letian?

It was precisely based on various considerations that the Tanggu business district had not even discussed in advance and all joined Xiao Letian's camp. When they saw the fireworks asking for help today, they all went crazy and opened the door panel and rushed to the street with their friends.

The dead soldiers outside the Tongzhiyamen never expected that a group of crazy guys rushed up in the dark. Before they could speak, they could see a burst of foreign guns.

"Go to fight, open fire, kill these thugs who pretend to be guards. Let's go and save Mr. Xiao!"

In the rain of bullets, a dead soldier was beaten into a sieve. The surviving guys rushed into the yamen. After a while, the dead soldiers guarding the yamen launched a Jedi counterattack. However, they underestimated the energy of these merchants. Although a foreign company could only provide twenty or thirty people, there were countless foreign companies in the Tanggu business district, and soon three or four hundred gunmen surrounded them.

What's even more terrifying is that these foreign merchants are so rich that the muskets they bought were all very famous guns in the world at that time, the most of which was the famous guns of the American Civil War Remington.

Although this rifled rifle is not as powerful as Spencer, it is enough to deal with the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. It has a long range and high accuracy. It often opens fire outside the range of the crossbow, and the killing of these dead soldiers cannot raise their heads at all.

"Move the stones and smash the door, let's rush in to save people!" With the roar of Manager Niu, the big bluestone that the two of them raised hit the black painted wooden door, and there was a loud bang and the door of the yamen was smashed to pieces.
