Chapter 9 Leading a Breakout(1/2)
The Qing Dynasty's modern industrial foundation was not good enough, and its weapons and equipment were not enough.
If you spend money to buy it, the money will be lost to all kinds of people. If you don't have money, you can't imitate the technology yourself, and your production capacity is limited.
Therefore, Zhu Chuanwen was quite frugal after he wasted his time.
If you can lick the bag, you must lick it. After entering Lushun City, Zhu Chuanwen entered the "eating chicken" mode.
When he arrived at Xia Yuanzhang's home, Zhu Chuanwen had already collected five Japanese Type 30 rifles.
And two Maozi Mosin-Nagant M1891 rifles, and also took off a set of Maozi skins, which will be used in the future.
Maozi's gun can be regarded as a classic modern rifle.
As for individual soldier equipment, Maozi's is definitely better, with a 7.62mm caliber and sufficient lethality.
But due to various political reasons both at home and abroad.
Xiaori was the one who took the initiative to stir up trouble. Even if the Maozi warships and artillery were killed first, the Maozi infantry could only be defeated.
"Bang bang bang!"
After visiting Xia Yuanzhang's house, in order not to scare the Xia family too much, Zhu Chuanwen chose to knock on the door first and be polite.
The Xia family hid and trembled, and did not respond to Zhu Chuanwen. Zhu Chuanwen climbed over the wall and entered the Xia family. He looked at the closed doors and windows, stuffed the letter through the crack in the door, and then shouted into the house:
"Anyone hasn't. I was asked by Shopkeeper Xia to take my family out of the city. If anyone responds, I have a letter written by Shopkeeper Xia here."
"Hero, why are you wearing a military uniform?"
After waiting for some time, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the room.
"It's a long story, and I don't have time to explain it. Just pack up and come with me. If you're late, you won't be able to leave the city."
After opening the door, Zhu Chuanwen discovered that Xia Yuanzhang's family was quite large. An old couple were Xia Yuanzhang's father-in-law and mother-in-law.
A middle-aged woman is Xia Yuanzhang's daughter-in-law, and a pair of children about ten years old are Xia Yuanzhang's children.
"How to go? There are people and soldiers everywhere outside?" the middle-aged woman said in horror.
"Hitch the carriage and follow me. If you give it a try, you still have your life. You should know what will happen if you stay in Lushun. You should know how the city of Lushun was empty before."
Lushun was massacred by the Japanese ten years ago. Not many people have a deeper understanding of the atrocities of the Japanese than the people of Lushun.
"Let's set up the car." Xia Yuanzhang's father-in-law, Old Man Li, replied after overcoming the fear in his heart.
"Maozi's troops have all gone to the west gate. Let's go out from the west gate and take the alley."
People from Lushun City have experienced going to the city once, and they have a very clear understanding of the consequences.
It's not just one or two people who want to escape.
Those who were able to leave early after being besieged had already fled as early as possible.
Even among the people who were trapped in the city due to the fighting between Japan and Mao, a large number of people did not sit still and were ready to leave the city while taking advantage of the chaos.
Therefore, Zhu Chuanwen was not alone. The further west he went, the more refugees gathered.
Not everyone is like the Xia family, only the old, weak, women and children.
"Heroes, there is a group of Japanese soldiers in front of us."
Among these refugees, there are also some young and strong people, holding various weapons, mainly old-fashioned cannons.
After witnessing Zhu Chuanwen's crisp and accurate shooting for two days, they all consciously obeyed Zhu Chuanwen's command.
The fleeing group of more than 100 people is temporarily headed by Zhu Chuanwen.
"What are you doing in a daze? Kill them."
Because of his prejudice against life, Zhu Chuanwen did not seriously learn Japanese except for enjoying art films about life.
If you want to fish in troubled waters and get involved in life, you will definitely not be able to get there.
So after seeing the day, we can only fight directly, attack from behind and attack hard from the front.
After several waves of team blockades, Zhu Chuanwen finally broke out of Lushun City with his refugee team, which suffered heavy losses.
Zhu Chuanwen's last kindness to the compatriots in the city was to blow up the city gate with the explosives he collected along the way, causing more trouble for the daily blockade.
"Thank you hero for saving your life. Please leave your name so that we can meet you in the future and you will be rewarded."
After leaving the city, the leading refugees expressed their gratitude to Zhu Chuanwen with clasped fists.
"We are both fallen people at the end of the world. We meet by chance. No need for names. We finally get out of the city. Let's all run for our lives."
Although this was indeed an opportunity to make a name for himself, Zhu Chuanwen was not prepared to plant a flag as a beard in the Northeast, so he could not get the name.
Sometimes, being famous is not necessarily a good thing.
So many people know that Zhu Chuanwen has been killed for many days, and if word spreads, it will also be a trouble for the old Zhu family.
After all, Northeast China will be under the control of Tian and Maozi for a long time.
My father's name is widely spread. There are legends about Zhu Kaishan everywhere in the northern provinces.
It has become a story told by storytellers.
It doesn’t matter whether you enjoy eating in the arena or not.
Anyway, Zhu Kaishan was so messed up that he couldn't even go back to his hometown.
"Hero, where is the head of our family?" Li Shufang, the daughter-in-law of shopkeeper Xia, asked.
Zhu Chuanwen took care of one family, Xia Yuanzhang's family of five, and finally saved their lives.
Even the elderly Mr. Li and his wife, apart from being a little embarrassed, had no major problems.
"It's on the southern outskirts of the city. I'll take you there."
It is said that Zhu Chuanwen brought a few people there, but in fact, Zhu Chuanwen was far less familiar with the area around Lushun than a few people.
After being shown the way by several people, Zhu Chuanwen drove the carriage and walked many country roads. He circled outside the city and met Xia Yuanzhang and the old Zhu family.
Then the two families started repairing on the outskirts of Lushun.
Although the accommodation conditions in the old man's house were average, and there were so many people from the Zhu and Xia families, it was certainly a bit difficult.
But it is still much more comfortable than traveling in Shandong or taking a boat at sea.
Waiting for Lushun and Dalian to come to an end, the war with Maozi came to an end.
After the trains were running normally, the two families entered Dalian together and got on the train heading north to Yuanbao Town.
The Zhu family originally wanted to go to Yuanbao Town to join their father, Zhu Kaishan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xia Yuanzhang’s family’s property in Lushun also disappeared under the flames of war.
Xia Yuanzhang could only run to Yuanbao Town and seek refuge with his father.
Although there is a big age gap between Zhu Chuanwen and Xia Yuanzhang, they can be considered two generations, but they agree on the fact that they want to grow old in Yuanbao Town.
"Mom, the weather in the Northeast is too cold."
Taking the train was relatively smooth. There were no accidents, no natural disasters, and no man-made disasters. The two families arrived at Yuanbao Town in Sanjiangkou smoothly.
Waiting in Lushun for a period of time is still faster than rushing on your own.
Even after such a long delay, it has already entered late autumn. For the Northeast, it has already entered the freezing snow season.
None of Lao Zhu's family had ever felt the temperature in the Northeast. Chuan Wu was the first one to start cursing.
"Chuanwu, put on your hat and don't let your ears freeze off."
Zhu Chuanwen said to Chuanwu, after he had repaired his condition and was no longer tired from the journey, Chuanwu jumped up again.
The hard work along the way did not affect Chuanwu's mental state.
If you can’t tell from others, it’s definitely okay for this second child to endure hardship.
"Sister-in-law, after you meet my old father, I will arrange for someone to take you to the cowherd ditch."
After getting off the train, Xia Yuanzhang followed Zhu Wei and introduced the situation of Yuanbao Town.
Because Xia Yuanzhang was considered to have lost his family and lost his property, leaving only a little bit of the wealth he had brought with him when he escaped from Lushun.
Zhu Chuanwen did not accept Xia Yuanzhang's financial gifts.
But Xia Yuanzhang, as a decent man, still showed his respect and spent a lot of money for Lao Zhu's family.
Not to mention the food, accommodation and transportation for this period, we also bought two sets of cotton-padded clothes for everyone in Lao Zhu's family.
In terms of keeping warm, there was no problem. Chuanwu complained about being cold, but he was still out of character. He didn't dress properly and didn't keep warm.
"Shop Manager Xia, there's no need to go to so much trouble. We've already arrived at Yuanbao Town. Let's just go to Fangniugou to find the head of our family."
The enthusiasm of Xia Yuanzhang, a shrewd businessman, was a bit overwhelming for Zhu Wei.
"Chuanjie, after you return to your home, you must remember to come to the town to find me."
The adults were talking on the side, and the children were saying goodbye to each other. They didn't spend too many days together.
Xia Yuanzhang's daughter Xia Yushu had a fierce fight with Chuanjie.
Xia Yuqing, Xia Yuanzhang's son, was also a follower of Chuanjie and Yushu.
