Chapter 179: Misunderstanding

"Huangyan County? There is Feng Sixian guarding over there, and he has four or five hundred people in his hands, including a dragon gun company and a firing gun platoon, how can he deal with it? Liu Chang thought optimistically: "It should be no problem!" It should be fine! ”

It's just that soon Liu Chang felt that Shi Tinglan was indeed more thoughtful than himself, and now he had broken Chen Shizhong's main force, and the next battle of Linhai was more about luck, to see if the Hong Army could successfully take advantage of the time when Chen Shizhong's defeated army retreated into Linhai City, and attack Linhai City in one fell swoop, as long as Huangyan County captured the city gate that time, everything was fine.

He asked clearly, now almost all the green battalion soldiers in Linhai City have been transferred out, and the troops with combat effectiveness in the city may be hundreds of Tai Yong and hundreds of reinforcements who rushed in, and the remaining more than 1,000 Tai Yong have not been formally trained, and their combat effectiveness is very weak, and the food and salary of these Tai Yong are also not a meal, and they have been owed 20 days of food and salary so far, and their morale is not high.

In this case, it is true that the defense of Huangyan County should be considered, but after a closer look, he found that he did not have any extra troops in his hands, and now the entire Hong Army was pursuing the defeated troops who were chasing Chen Shizhong to the north, and Liu Chang only had one Jintang Second Company in charge of guarding, and the rest of the troops went to the front.

"Good!" Liu Chang quickly thought of a way: "I'll draw two of the golden soup in a row and drain it out, and ......"

Shi Tinglan preemptively said: "I'll go back to Huangyan together, I'm not very comfortable, I want to go back to Huangyan County to rest......"

She also pointed to the sun and said, "Maybe this sun is too poisonous." ”

She really didn't want to make a decision now, no matter which decision she made, it seemed to be a disservice to the people close to her, she continued: "Clerical matters, you can let the eldest sister take over for the time being. She also took care of the paperwork in the Dongwang Mansion and knew what to do! ”

She was afraid that Liu Chang would not agree, and after she said this, it suddenly occurred to her that Liu Chang had some scruples about them, and even the township officials she brought from Tianjing were isolated.

In this case, she came into contact with the Jintang Second Company, which was in charge of Liu Chang's personal guards. Will it make Liu Chang have any bad thoughts, but Liu Chang didn't think of this at all, he nodded: "You are a little unwell, it's ......good to go back and have a good rest."

Liu Chang glanced at Shi Tinglan and felt that there were some things that were difficult to speak, especially the atmosphere of this era This kind of private topic is even more inappropriate: "Have a good rest, don't worry, my record room is always you, that is, you will write history for me, I can rest assured!" ”

He thought about it for a moment. He said again: "In this case, the two infantry platoons of the second company of Jintang will be under your command for the time being!" ”

"I'm coming?" Shi Tinglan was taken aback, she never thought that Liu Chang would hand over the second company of Jintang to her command, even if it was only temporary, but Shi Tinglan was still quite moved, the two of them could change a lot after getting along for a long time, and the distance between the two hearts was now getting closer and closer.

She bit her lip. Just wanted to say to Liu Chang what he really thought in his heart, but Liu Chang said: "Back to Huangyan County, trouble Miss Shi to be temporarily dispatched by Feng Zhi County!" ”

It's just that as soon as these words came out, Shi Tinglan's thoughts changed again, and she had only one thought: "He still doesn't believe me." ”

The distance between the two hearts seems to have been pulled back to square one. Liu Chang didn't expect anything wrong with his statement, he just immediately issued an order to the second company of Jintang: "From now on, the first platoon will follow me to carry out the guard mission, and the second and third platoon will follow Shi Tinglan back to Huangyan County to carry out the guard mission, and arrive outside the Huangyan County town to accept Feng Sixian's combat command!" ”…,

The officers and men of the 2nd Company of Jintang immediately carried out the order: "Salute! Resolutely complete the mission! ”

Although three or four people were injured in the initial attack, the second company of kinyu has now been taken into custody by the health company. The entire company can be said to be lightly armed, but Shi Tinglan explained again when he was leaving: "There is only one infantry platoon by your side, is the strength weaker?" ”

"An infantry platoon is enough, and the company also follows me, and the combined strength is about the same as your side!" Liu Chang replied to Shi Tinglan: "Go back and have a good rest!" I'll wait for you to rest. ”

He didn't delve into why.

And Shi Tinglan didn't know what kind of danger lurked in the path of her and the two infantry platoons of the Jintang Second Company.

She just felt that Liu Chang's smile at this moment was full of sunshine. Full of tenderness.

Zhang Yuzao just felt that today was his day of transfer, but in the afternoon, the bad news came one after another.

Chen Shizhong seemed to have suffered a setback in Huangyan County, and it was not a small setback, and the Hong Army was ready to annihilate him all with all its strength.

There were already a few defeated soldiers who had fled from the battlefield all the way to Linhai City. Tell the news that made the entire Linhai City tremble: "Chen Shizhong and Chen Zhentai have been defeated in Huangyan County!" ”

There is no specific news yet, but Zhang Yuzao has asked about the defeated soldiers. I felt that a big defeat was inevitable.

Chen Shizhong went crazy, although he had 3,000 soldiers in his hands, but Liu Jiehu was a rare real thief in recent times, Taiping County had 2,500 soldiers, but he only defended for less than half a day, Huangyan County had 3,000 soldiers, and only held on for less than two days, and he took 3,000 soldiers to fight a field battle with Liu Jiehu, that is not an egg hitting a stone.

It's just that Zhang Yuzao suddenly thought of a joke that he heard, and he felt uncomfortable for a while, but he was more concerned about how many of Chen Shizhong's 3,000 soldiers could escape?

With Liu Juehu's invincible field combat ability to run rampant in Wentai County, Chen Shizhong can bring back half of the soldiers, which is thank God, but this time, should he put Chen Shizhong into Linhai County.

He was frightened by Chen Shizhong's madness, and he closed the city, Chen Shizhong not only killed and injured the soldiers one after another, but also coerced all the three battalions of the Taizhou Xiecheng Guard, not to mention the arson of the people, and it is said that there was also a slaughter of the village.

He told General Lin Shen who came from Shaoxing his thoughts, but General Lin told him: "How can Chen Zhentai come back alive?" He can only die! ”

"If he does come back alive!" Zhang Yuzao is still worried about this problem: "If the city is closed, what if Chen Shizhong goes crazy again, if he goes crazy once, half of our Taizhou's defense will collapse." ”

General Lin sneered: "If he comes back alive, it will be a dead end, we will kill him on the spot, and we don't need a warrant to go to the peak, I estimate that he is doing everything possible to find death now!" ”

Zhang Yuzao relaxed a little: "That's good!" ”

"Good what?" General Lin told Zhang Yuzao that this is by no means a good thing: "What's the matter, when he comes back, everything is easy to do, we put all the responsibility on him, everything has a way." ”

"But he died, and it was we who were responsible for the aftermath, and it was very difficult for us to make up a story of Chen Zhentai's loyal martyrs."

As soon as Zhang Yuzao heard this, he immediately understood that the important thing was that Chen Shizhong was dead, so no matter how big his mistake was, even if he collapsed half of Taizhou's defense, it was also a loyal martyr, and he and General Lin were alive.

After the end of the Taiping War, some people criticized the semi-official Pingzhejiang Jiluo in the diary, thinking that this book has a low evaluation of Zhang Yuliang, because he died in battle, no matter how he slaughtered and killed the army, the people's hearts were lost, and Xu Yaoguang and Duan Guangqing were overrated, because these two people were still alive, and the cities they were responsible for had been lost, and they refused to die with the city. …,

And now Zhang Yuzao and Lin Shenjiang are facing such a dilemma, it is clear that Chen Shizhong's crime is unforgivable, but if he dies, he and Lin Shenjiang will have to do their best to whitewash it, Zhang Yuzao is even more angry and shook his head: "This thing is difficult to do, difficult to do, very difficult to do!" I don't want to do it. ”

"It's not Chen Zhentai's aftermath that is difficult to do, the most difficult thing to do now is how to prevent the red thief, I'm afraid the red thief will be killed under this coastal city tonight!"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Yuzao immediately smiled bitterly and said: "If Lin Shenrong didn't bring the troops to Taiwan, I would have the heart to find a rope to hang now." ”

General Lin is a figure who knows a little about military affairs: "My hundreds of soldiers are not good for anything, how is the morale of the Taiwanese warriors now?" ”

Zhang Yuzao, as the prefect, is clear about the defense of Linhai: "Originally, there were still three battalions of Taizhou Xiecheng, and they were still worthy of a battle, but now they are all taken by Chen Zhentai, only 800 guest troops, 2,000 brave bravery, and Zhuang Yong has owed 20 days of salary!" ”

"So bad?" General Lin immediately said: "I will bring the military salary, and immediately send it to Zhuang Yong, and then hang a lot of money, so that they don't follow the thief." ”

Huangyan County has the news that the thief is brave in battle has been spread to the city, so Zhang Yuzao immediately agreed: "The thief is really based on the two counties of Huangtai, which are the essence of the whole Taiwan, and he originally wanted to take the opportunity of the wheat ripening to collect the busy, but the red thief entered Taiwan, and the grain was afraid of the thief and refused to go out of the city. ”

When General Lin heard this, his face immediately became extremely ugly, but he knew a confidential matter in the province, and this Taizhou didn't want to get help from the province in a short time, so he could only support it alone.

In any case, the current situation must be dealt with, and at least the possible offensive of the red thieves must be repelled before talking about other things, so General Lin Shen can only smile bitterly: "Send the brave food and salary first!" ”

Two thousand brave soldiers, eight hundred guest troops and six hundred reinforcements brought by General Lin immediately went to the city wall, and before going to the city, they also ordered it again, and paid the arrears of food and wages according to the number of people, Zhang Yuzao promised that as long as he held the Taizhou Mansion, he offered a reward of 20,000 taels, which made the morale of the entire army rise a lot.

It's just that as soon as the military salary was paid, Zhang Yuzao saw that the rout of the army had rushed to Linhai City under the sunset, all of them were covered in mud and water, and many people lost their shoes, panicked, and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" Open the gates, and the red thieves will be killed in no time! ”。 ）
