It took almost a week for the rapid march to reach Chengdu, and it would definitely be slower than the person who reported to Xiliang.

But fortunately, 200,000 taels were not in vain, and Chengdu was already surrounded by people from the Pao Brothers' Association, so that Xiliang didn't even receive the news.

"Commander, the new army has been besieged in the north of the city." Xu Yimiao, the new commander of the First Division, said more relaxedly.

The new army was confronting Brother Pao, and without much effort, the first division occupied the four city gates and the urn city.

The new army that confronted Pao Ge in the center of the city did not carry much ammunition, and ten minutes after the battle began, the new army began to retreat like a school yard where munitions were stored, and now the first division has taken control of Chengdu except for the north of the city.

"And Xiliang has been controlled by us."

Xiliang had no intention of evacuating in the Governor's Palace, and in his mind, no matter what, at most a few new army deaths, those ruffians and hooligans outside should suffer... However... Things were a little unexpected.

"Then let's go inside." Yu Ling raised her eyebrows and said, she really didn't expect Xiliang to be captured so easily.

Since Xiliang is so eager to send it to the door, it is better to go and have a look.

"Commander?! The enemies inside haven't been cleared yet, so if you rush in like this, it doesn't meet the rules you have set, right? ”

Xu Yimiao's face was a little bitter, but the director of the intelligence bureau personally explained that he must be optimistic about the commander...

"As a divisional commander, you took the lead in violating it, besides, isn't the enemy besieged in the north of the city, just entering the city will not be dangerous, go, drive~" I have to say that many things have become much more convenient after learning to ride a horse in this era.

Xu Yimiao's face was embarrassed. Divisional commanders? First??? However, the person he wanted to remind was no longer out of sight.

As soon as he approached the city gate, Yu Ling smelled the familiar smell of gunsmoke, and bullet holes could still be vaguely seen on the wall of the east city gate of Chengdu, which should have been left by the first division when attacking the city an hour and a half ago, as for why there were no craters?

Since the first division was a rapid march, even 75mm guns could not be carried, so the artillery belonging to the first division could only move with the second division on a normal march.

There were also soldiers of the 1st Division on guard duty at the head of the city, and even though many of them recognized the identity of the commander-in-chief, they still strictly carried out the inspection.

This was a relief to Yu Ling, her previous expectations for the discipline of this army were not so high.

Thanks to the mount this time, it only took Fifteen minutes for the Rain Spirit to reach the Governor's Palace.

But, the situation on the edge of the Governor's Palace...

In addition to the corpses of the soldiers of the 1st Division and the corpses of the New Army, there were also the corpses of civilians, including children younger than the rain spirit...

"Calm down, whether it's done over there, even if it's done by your soldiers, it's inevitable." Claya was keenly aware of Yu Ling's mood changes, and reminded him, "These streets are battlefields, and you shouldn't care if the targets hit by bullets are civilians on the battlefield, you should have expected it a long time ago." ”

It should have been expected a long time ago, and it was decided that the siege of the Pao Brother would begin, and this should be the ending.

"Well, forget it, let's go in." Staring at the corpse on the ground, for a long time, Yu Ling sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Now I don't have that much aversion to corpses, maybe it's because I killed a person with my own hands a year ago, and this is probably the "excellent quality" of a soldier in the future.

"It's been a long time since I-sama saw him."

In a side room of the Governor's Palace, Xiliang was pressed by two soldiers to sit on a red lacquered wooden chair, and he struggled when he saw Yu Ling walking by.

"You ?!!" Seeing Yu Ling in this place without hindrance, Xi Hao seemed to understand something, but no matter what, the other party was just a little girl, and it was still too unbelievable.

"What's wrong? Shira-sama won't even recognize me, will he? Hey, anyway, your official is over, so it doesn't matter. Yu Ling said indifferently, Sa, crickets are just bureaucrats of the old era, even if it is not much different from a hundred years later, but there is no need to pay attention to it.

"What do you mean by that?" With a slightly mocking tone, Xiliang was very angry, although he was at his level, and he was already very skilled at hiding his emotions, but that was when he got along with people of the same level, and now...

"Well, well~~~ Originally, you could stay in this position until the year after tomorrow, but, tsk, Zhang Zhidong wants to do something, then don't blame me, I can only deal with you first." When I got closer and saw Xiliang's expression becoming a little distorted, I was surprised to find it interesting.

It's really touching to get close to Xiliang and tell him his original fate.

However, Xiliang clearly misunderstood something.

"You're plotting to kill the imperial court?!! His voice has a little trill, human beings, as long as they are not IQ offline, will have an instinctive fear of death, especially this kind of guy who knows more about the West. Tsk, the more knowledgeable human beings are, the more depraved they will be

"Tsk, the imperial court? I'm really sad for you people, take the previous Qing-French War as an example, my current enemy, Lord Zhang Zhidong, did his best to win this war, and the French cabinet was dissolved! ”

Yu Ling became emotional, not because she had any special feelings for Da Qingguo.

But watching a great opportunity slip away in the hands of stupid people, I will always be unable to restrain it, well, probably the sequelae left by later generations when reading historical materials, just like seeing Joan of Arc and Queen Mary, a series of characters will always be unconsciously regretful.

"But what about the imperial court? At a time when the final blow to the French colony of Indochina was about to be dealt the final blow, withdrawing troops and suing for peace, is this kind of court still worth following? "When he was about to win, he fell short because of the problems of the high-level, and every time he saw this kind of thing, Yu Ling was like a slap in the face of those high-level people.

"That's because the Fu (meow) Jianshui Division was wiped out, and the imperial court!!" Xiliang clearly wanted to defend his court, and Yu Ling directly lifted his collar and rudely interrupted him.

"Clams? And what about the Beiyang Sailors? Just sinking eight armored cruisers and abandoning the gains on land? ”

Through the eyes of the rain spirit, Xiliang seems to see the anger like a flame...

"........" he was silent, this kind of question, he had asked himself before... But...

"I should have expected that, people like you are like that. Tsk, but it's not a disaster for his wife and children, Lord Xiliang, you can go with peace of mind. ”

The little girl in front of her lowered her voice like a wounded beast and said something that could almost represent her death sentence.

Xiliang's face suddenly turned pale. Yu Ling nodded to the two soldiers, who immediately understood and prepared to drag Xiliang out.

"Ha, wait, if Lord Xiliang can help me persuade the new army to surrender, maybe I can spare your life."
