Chapter 255: Crying Qin Ting

Lanxi County?

Liu Chang could only smile slightly at Ye Yudie, who was dressed in new clothes, and apologized very much: "Hurry up and invite the virtuous people from Lanxi County in, please come in!"

As soon as Liu Chang spoke, a group of gentlemen in silk clothes had already rolled in, but this group of gentlemen was stained with mud, and when they saw Liu Chang, they were a little disbelieving, and grabbed the hand of a pro-soldier and asked, "That's Liu Juehu?" That's really a willow outbreak!"

"I am Liu Chang, the inspector of the Zhejiang East Hongjun!" Liu Chang unceremoniously reported his name: "Several Lanxi sages have come from afar, please go in and talk!"

It's just that as soon as they heard that the fifteen or sixteen-year-old young commander in front of him was the supreme commander of tens of thousands of rainbow troops, and the entire Zhejiang Province was terrified, these squires of Lanxi County were stunned at first, and they still couldn't believe the facts in front of them!

Young, so young!

Such a young man, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, is at least seventeen years old, and he actually won such a country with his bare hands. (The fastest and most stable update, ReadTalk.com, N.)

It's just that soon they all reacted, and they knelt down together, regardless of whether the ground under their feet was still muddy, it hadn't dried up after the rain, and some people even hugged Liu Chang's thigh and shouted: "Liu Checkpoint, Liu Checkpoint, Zhang Yuliang slaughtered the conscience of Lanxi, the blood stained a hundred miles on the banks of the Longlan River, and the lives were devastated, it is really unbearable, hundreds of thousands of county residents in Lanxi are waiting for you to come to the rescue!"

"Zhang Yuliang? What's going on? ”

Over there, Ye Yudie was also concerned about this Zhang Yuliang, and he asked a personal soldier next to him: "Didn't Zhang Yuliang just withdraw from Pujiang, why did he go to Lanxi again?" ”

After Zhang Yuliang withdrew from Pujiang, as a general of the Jiangnan battalion, he was indeed quite military-minded, and he did not go straight to Lanxi, but chose a more circuitous path.

He first entered Shaoxing Mansion from the Pujiang River to the north, then transferred to Quzhou Mansion, and finally passed through Yanzhou Mansion and went straight to Lanxi.

Zhang Yuliang's troops were as many as 3,000 this time, and on the way to transfer, he met 500 reinforcements sent to him by Xiang Rong, the Jiangnan battalion, who was worried that he would not be able to solve the battle as soon as possible, so he sent 500 Chaoyong with 200 foreign guns to support.

Although Lanxi County claims to be the most combative and well-organized militia in Zhejiang Province, it is nothing compared with the regular army commanded by Zhang Yuliang.

As a result, Zhang Yuliang broke five or six militia groups one after another, and then massacred them on the banks of the Longlan River, and now he has slaughtered four or five villages, killing no less than 2,000 people and regiments, and there are not a few captives and robbers, and the scale of the massacre is getting bigger and bigger, even to the point that Zhang Yuliang can't control the situation.

You must know that these soldiers bravely vented all the frustrations they suffered in the Pujiang River to the people of Lanxi County, the Lanxi militia usually claims to be strong, but now they are killed by such a crazy Zhang Yuliangyong, and looking at Zhang Yuliang's situation, it is necessary to slaughter dozens of miles on the Longlan River.

Liu Chang listened to the crying of these Lanxi squires, but he said: "Several of them are virtuous people in Lanxi County, I usually admire them very much, but the current situation, I am a thief, Zhang Yuliang is an official, aren't you afraid of being a thief?" ..., but there was a squire who directly hugged Liu Chang's thigh, and he said loudly: "What is the charge of being a thief, let alone being a thief, as long as Liu Jian is willing to send troops to save the people of Lanxi from fire and water, even if you are called Dad, I am willing!"

This squire is in his forties, a little blessed, everyone knows him, this is the famous villain Zhu Ailan in Lanxi County, but this person still knows the general situation, he now called out directly: "Liu Checkpoint, you are my own father, as long as you save hundreds of thousands of officials and people in Lanxi, I guarantee that hundreds of thousands of people in Lanxi County will all have the same heart!"

"That's true!" Liu Chang asked directly: "You have to think clearly!"

"It's been thought through! My dear father!" Zhu Ailan Guan Jian will not be ambiguous at all, he said directly: "We people can represent hundreds of thousands of people in Lanxi County!" Besides, now that I have torn my face with Zhang Yuliang, we follow the Qing Dynasty, it is just a dead end, you are the Buddha of hundreds of thousands of people in Lanxi!"

"No!" Liu Chang told Zhu Ailan and these squires: "You are the Buddha of the Ten Thousand Families of hundreds of thousands of people in Lanxi, and you are the father of hundreds of thousands of officials and people in Lanxi!"

This is a bit rough to say, but as soon as Liu Chang spoke, the Lanxi gentlemen present all praised it: "The inspection point is right, Ailan, you have made a miraculous contribution for hundreds of thousands of people in Lanxi this time!"

"Please also check the point and send troops quickly, there are people in Lanxi who are suffering under the knife all the time!"

"Good!" Liu Chang directly named him: "Dragon Lance Battalion, Nanxi Battalion, hundreds of thousands of people in Lanxi have suffered from Zhang Yuliang's scourge, are you willing to save them!"

"Yes!"

"Nanxi Camp is willing!"

"The Dragon Lance Battalion has no excuse!"

That Zhu Ailan also stood up, and he said loudly: "Today, hundreds of thousands of gentry in Lanxi have received the grace of inspection and the rebuilding of the Hongjun, which is unforgettable, and so far, hundreds of thousands of gentry in Lanxi will be of the same mind as the Hongjun, and the Hongjun will fight to the eighteenth layer of hell, and we Lanxi people will also do it!"

This incident has always been the most glorious thing in Zhu Ailan's life, and he will never forget today's situation in the future.

Liu Chang said very happily: "That's good! I personally took the Dragon Lance Battalion and the Nanxi Battalion to Lanxi, there are these two battalions, not to mention one Zhang Yuliang, even ten Zhang Yuliang are also my opponents!"

Ye Yudie just got off the horse over there, and now she can only get on the horse again, but now she is riding parallel to Liu Chang, and she is still talking: "I heard what the brothers said just now, and the inspection is like a god!"

Liu Chang was not in a hurry, he asked, "How can you be as clever as a god?" ”

"The brothers all said that when they let Zhang Yuliang go in Pujiang, they all thought that even if they didn't raise tigers, they had released a big fish! But I didn't expect that this was not to let go of the big fish, but to raise tigers for trouble!"

After experiencing Zhang Yuliang's massacre, the gentry of Lanxi County could only hold the same idea as Liu Chang, and engaged in the business of killing officials and rebelling, Ye Yudie even had a feeling that this Lanxi County would be the most supportive county for Liu Chang in the entire Jinhua Mansion.

It is based on this understanding that Liu Chang's decision at the beginning seems so incredible.

Liu Chang smiled: "Maybe that kind of thing has happened before, right?" ”

During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there were many fights between officers and soldiers and militia groups that supported the Qing government, and the scale was sometimes very large, but all these incidents were not as good as Zhang Yuliang's slaughter of Lanxi.

That's right, it's a "slaughter", the reason is similar to the cause of this incident, it was the Lanxi militia that attacked Zhang Yuliang's small army, and as a result, Zhang Yuliang launched an unprecedented massacre in Lanxi County under the pressure of the Taiping army, so that most of the Qing people did not dare to record the truth of the massacre. ..., official historical materials such as the Bandit Ji Luo in Zhejiang, only vaguely say "2,000 casualties", but dare not say which side suffered 2,000 casualties, only the book "Talking about Zhejiang", which is dedicated to the history of Zhejiang during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, is very detailed, when Zhang Yuliang led his troops to slaughter all 70 miles on the banks of the Longlan River, and tens of thousands of people in Lanxi were killed.

Zhang Yuliang's military discipline has always been bad, even those Qing historical materials that are most opposed to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom admit that the military discipline of the Taiping Army is comparable to Zhang Yuliang, which can be described as Qiu Wuwu, but in Lanxi County and Zhejiang, it is corrupted to the extreme, and in this time and space, Liu Chang believes that Zhang Yuliang will never be able to maintain military discipline after defeat, even if he does not slaughter Lanxi, he will find villages and towns to slaughter again, in order to vent the anger of defeat.

In this time and space, history seems to have returned to the original point, only a few years earlier this massacre, but it created the best opportunity for Liu Chang to take the whole Jinhua Mansion.

A county that can be firmly grasped and completely fell to the Hongjun is more valuable than the entire Jinhua Mansion, Liu Chang was a little proud on the horse, and Ye Niangzi over there had already asked another question: "Do you say I want to go to Ningbo this time?" ”

She said that Bu Xing had an invitation, but Liu Chang was speechless, and said after a while: "When will Baoshun Wheel arrive in Ningbo?" ”

Ye Niangzi replied: "It is estimated that it will be the past few days!" We will go to sea in another month, and with such a steamer at sea, we will have no choice but to do without our arms routes!"

"That's not going to happen, foreigners are profitable!"

The same is true in history, although after the Taiping army captured Ningbo, the gunboats of the customs blocked the port of Ningbo, but the arms trade in Ningbo port has become extremely prosperous, and it can even be said that it is abnormal prosperity, and the foreigners who are heavy on profit, including some diplomats with official status, have sold a large number of weapons to the Taiping army, and even the victorious army and the British and French officers in the Changjie army who directly fought with the Taiping army, and often sold all kinds of arms to the Taiping army, and the defeat of the Taiping army was not because of the backwardness or shortage of arms. But the troops cannot be warlike, and this is particularly evident in Li Xiucheng's troops.

But the appearance of this steamship will definitely hinder the arms trade and cause many problems, so Liu Chang did not make a decision directly, but asked another question: "Yu Die, how much do you know about this person in Buxing!"
