The night was dark and windy, and after Johnson had finished the meeting, he reviewed the official documents in his office for a day, and returned to his residence in the backyard very late.The Governor's Palace was divided into two parts, the front of the parliament building, and the back of which was a garden the size of a football field, where he lived in a three-storey European-style villa.His wife had prepared supper for him, and when he returned, she had her servants warm it up."
Maria, are the children asleep?"
Johnson asked casually, taking off his coat and sitting down at the table.In the candlelight, his face was unusually tired, and his eyebrows were tightly clenched.He and his wife gave birth to two sons and three daughters, which are very enviable to outsiders."
Sleep, don't be too tired, remember to rest early in the future," Maria advised him, looking at his yellowed face, secretly worried about him."
I'm fine, I'm afraid that such a peaceful day will be broken soon" Johnson sighed, still thinking about how to deal with this thorny problem now."
Is something going on because of the British troops who fled from India?"
Mary frowned, got up, and gently stepped forward to pinch her husband's shoulder."
yes, these people are a bunch of militants.Originally, I also supported them to recover Queensland, but now it seems that nothing is possible.Once the matter is made big, the Chinese will definitely report it back, and then we will not even have a foothold in Australia.I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I've decided to negotiate with them, continue to maintain the status quo, and give Queensland to them," Johnson hurriedly ate a few bites, leaning back in his chair and enjoying the moment of peace."
Why don't you tell the queen about this and ask her to transfer those people back to England," suggested Maria, who was not usually too concerned about business, and had no good solution."
It's too late, it's only a year before we make a trip back and forth to England.If we had waited for the Queen's reply, I am afraid that this place would have been a mess a long time ago" Johnson shook his head, he had not thought about this matter.But now that the matter is urgent, and as soon as the battle begins, everything is afraid that it will be too late.Mary didn't say anything more, just massaged her husband so that he could relax for a while.There was silence in the room, and suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire outside the window, knocking Johnson and his wife at the same time."
Oh no, something is wrong.You go upstairs with the kids first, and I'll go out and have a look," Johnson immediately stood up, put on his coat and walked out the door."
Be careful," said Mary, before her husband had time to go out.The Doge's palace was in chaos, and the guards were dressed and came out of the house with guns.The gunfire became more and more intense, and the whole city of Sydney was filled with gunfire.There was a constant firelight flying into the night sky, like fireworks, shining with dazzling light in bursts."
What's the matter, come on," Johnson yelled in the garden of the Governor's Palace, and soon walked out of the house.At this time, the guards spotted him and soon followed him.The captain of the guard hurriedly persuaded him, "Your Excellency, you better go back to your room first."
The current situation is unknown, you can't do anything" "The situation is unknown, I should be here, you quickly bring someone to inform the militia in the city to assemble, and immediately protect the safety of the people in the city" Johnson hurriedly explained, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the compound of the governor's palace, the streets were crowded with torches from all sides.The sound of gunfire was in my ears, and the guards who were keeping vigil outside the governor's palace fell one after another, and continued to retreat into the courtyard."
What the hell is going on" Johnson held his gun and yelled at the retreating guards outside the courtyard, and quickly ordered the guards to line up in the courtyard according to the gun array."
Report to the Governor, the streets are full of enemies, and we can't see clearly, you can withdraw from the back door with your lady first, here we are guarding" The guards gathered more and more, and usually two hundred people took turns guarding them.Now that they have all been combined, more than a dozen people have been shot and killed outside the courtyard just now."
What nonsense, as the Governor, how can I evacuate first, immediately organize your soldiers and prepare for battle" Johnson hissed, and a bad feeling suddenly floated in his heart, feeling that someone was coming specifically for him."
Yes," the captain of the guards saluted, and quickly commanded the guards, who lined up in a three-section firing phalanx in the garden, with their muzzles pressed straight at the gate.The sound of footsteps was getting closer, hundreds of people were coming, and the torches outside the courtyard reflected the sky red, and soon, the sound of gunfire rang out from all directions.They didn't go through the gate, but they all climbed the courtyard wall and shot at the courtyard."
Target the courtyard wall, shoot" Johnson was the first to react, telling the guards to turn their guns and pull the trigger on the courtyard wall.The bullets were shot from the muzzle with a trace of red lines, and the red lines of the two sides were intertwined, and they were very dazzling in the night sky.The guards stood in the middle of the garden and could not shoot accurately at the enemy.Just obeyed the order and aimed all the guns at the courtyard wall, and quickly pulled the trigger.The bullet hit the courtyard wall "poof", the effect was very limited, after a rain of bullets, only a few people were shot on the courtyard wall.But countless bullets flew on the courtyard wall, as if they had eyes, and soon knocked the guards down.In the rain of bullets, the guards' gun array lasted less than two or three minutes before all of them collapsed.Everyone retreated in horror, even Johnson was concentrated with his right arm, and he hurriedly fled with his eyes wide open."
Mmm" a military horn sounded, and the enemy army in the dark soon launched a general attack.Hearing only a roar, I don't know how many people rushed in from the courtyard wall and the courtyard gate, and opened fire on the fleeing guards.The dense rain of bullets continued to smash at the guards from all directions, and the guards only cared about escaping, and had no chance to fight back, and were soon knocked to the ground one by one.The combat effectiveness of this group of unknown forces greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.They are well-armed, and they can attack in a skirmish, and everything is not according to the routine.The guards' guns could not shoot accurately, so they had to be slaughtered, and in less than a moment more than half of them fell.Johnson saw that the Governor's Palace could not be defended, so he hurriedly ran back to the villa with his arms covered, and as soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly went up to the second floor, wanting to quickly evacuate from the back door with his wife and children "Maria, don't be afraid, it's me quickly, take the child and go quickly" Mary was huddled in the corner with the child in her arms, and the candlelight in the house was flickering.As soon as Johnson entered the door, the mother and son all screamed in horror, and they all cried out in fright
