A month and a half, not long, not short, enough for him to do a lot of things, Zhu Shanhai slowly paced forward with his hands behind his back, once connected with the Russian railway, it means that the aid from Britain and Russia will be continuously delivered, but before that, he must really control the situation in the northwest as soon as possible.

Liu Changxing followed behind, he was very clear about the situation they were facing, the two northwestern provinces have been implementing the compulsory military service law for a long time, there is no shortage of soldiers, what is lacking is weapons and ammunition, all along, the imperial court has followed a very strict system for the supply of arms to the two northwest provinces, there will be no shortage, but it will not be rich.

With a conscription order, they can easily recruit more than 100,000 veterans who have undergone strict military training, but they can't get enough weapons and equipment, and they can't even meet the ammunition needed for live-fire training.

It is not that the military region does not have a stock of weapons and ammunition to spare, but they are all firmly controlled by Feng Renxuan's men, and a legitimate small amount of demand can be satisfied, but if the quantity is a little larger, it will be rejected, and the excuse is also high-sounding - the war is imminent, and it is necessary to ensure a sufficient share of weapons and ammunition.

As for the fact that Britain and Russia promised to provide a large amount of arms aid, they simply ignored it, and if they did not match it, they would have nothing to say; this is after all a fact, and there are indeed slight differences in the caliber of weapons and ammunition between Britain and Russia, and they cannot be used universally.

At present, they recruit a lot of recruits, but they are all waiting for British and Russian arms assistance, but the railway line across the Kazakh steppe is in Anxi Province, under the control of Feng Renxuan, if they do not have enough strength, in the end they will still look up to people, looking at Feng Renxuan's face, maybe in the end they will be busy in vain and make a wedding dress for Feng Renxuan.

After a long silence, he tentatively asked, "Can you let the Russians transport a batch of munitions first, and use the horse team to transfer the ......" ”

"Hmph." Zhu Shanhai snorted coldly, "If Feng Renxuan doesn't want us to increase our strength, the arms brought can only be cheaper for them." ”

Liu Changxing hesitated and said: "Just announced the joint autonomy of the two provinces, he will not be so ugly." ”

"For a month and a half, I don't dare to leave anything to chance." Zhu Shanhai said in a deep voice: "Besides, I never pin my hopes on my opponent. ”

"What then?" Liu Changxing subconsciously asked rhetorically, without enough weapons and ammunition, no matter how many troops there are, they can't form strength.

"Rob!" Zhu Shanhai said crisply.

Rob? Liu Changxing was shocked, "...... rob the arsenal of the military region?" "Is this crazy? This is simply a tiger's mouth, even if it can be successful, it will inevitably stimulate contradictions and cause large-scale infighting, which is completely worth the loss!

"Who said that the arsenal of the military region was going to be robbed?" The old god Zhu Shanhai said: "Doesn't the superintendent battalion in Gongning City also have an arsenal?" ”

Rush to supervise the standard camp? Liu Changxing was stunned for a while, the supervision battalion is the old name, after Xinjiang and Anxi successively established provinces, according to the Qing military system, the supervision battalion and the Fubiao battalion were renamed the local armed police, and they were still under the command of the governor and governor, but they no longer belonged to the division of the imperial court.

As a local armed police, there is naturally a gap in equipment, there are naturally no heavy weapons such as field artillery, and the number of heavy firepower weapons such as light and heavy machine guns and mortars is also very small.

Xinjiang's Biao Battalion is no exception, but the scale is much larger than that of the inland provinces, with five battalions and 10,000 soldiers.

After hesitating for a while, he spoke: "Zuobutang is not a good person...... ”

"It's just an old-fashioned sick tiger." Zhu Shanhai said disdainfully, he only had the idea of fighting the Supervising Battalion, not only because the Supervising Battalion was relatively weak, but also because Zuo Zongtang had close contacts with Feng Renxuan, and he also needed to completely control Gongning City.

Gongning City was also known as Mancheng in the early days, because there were a large number of officers and soldiers stationed in the city of the Eight Banners, after the constitution, the Qing Dynasty set off a wave of abolition of the city, Gongning was not affected much, but more than 6,000 barracks in the city were all occupied by the Inspector Battalion.

Since Zhu Shanhai launched a mutiny to put the Empress Dowager and the emperor under house arrest, Gongning City's security is also extremely strict, although the two provinces later jointly declared autonomy, but because the Empress Dowager and the Emperor still live in the Governor's Palace, Zhu Shanhai is stationed in the city, and his department controls the West Gate, so that the situation in Gongning City is extremely complicated, and the garrison is naturally extraordinarily strict.

Since the mutiny, the originally extremely prosperous city of Gongning gradually deserted, although the martial law was lifted, but the streets and alleys are full of police and officers and soldiers patrolling back, the merchants in the city gradually disappeared, the residents can also not go out as much as possible, until dark, the city is extremely deserted, and the city gate is locked and closed early.

At three o'clock in the morning, a group of black shadows appeared at the west gate, the 'rail tong' gate, and after the flashlight was transmitted, the suspension bridge over the moat slowly fell, and then the two heavy city gates also slowly opened.

A group of black shadows rushed to the city gate in a low cheer, unexpectedly, the group of people and horses only walked through the city gate for a short time, and heard a sharp whistle soaring into the sky, and then exploded in the night sky, this is an extremely common fireworks cannon cannon, but in the silent night it is particularly eye-catching.

Soon, several more cupola guns exploded in the night sky, and sirens sounded all over the city, followed by the rapid sound of military trumpets, and the extinguished gas street lamps were lit again.

Zhu Shanhai, who had just ascended the tower of the West Gate, was not surprised at all when he saw this scene, but just ordered in a deep voice, "Quickly seize the Xiaoxi Gate and the South Gate and attack it!" ”

As the order was given, two red flares slowly streaked across the night sky.

According to the Inspector's Office, he was awakened by the sound of the military horn, and Zuo Zongtang, who hurriedly got up in his clothes, came out of the room and saw the red signal flare slowly passing through the air, and he knew it without asking, Zhu Shanhai did it!

He had long expected that with Zhu Shanhai's courageous and risky temperament and unwilling temperament, he would inevitably attack Gongning in order to achieve the goal of completely controlling Gongning City and firmly controlling the queen mother and the emperor in his hands, so he had already made careful arrangements.

When he returned to his room to change his clothes and rushed to the signing room, he had faintly heard the messy and dense gunshots and explosions in the city, Li Yunlin hurriedly came in, bowed down and said: "Yubutang, the earliest warning signal is from the West Gate....... ”

Before the words fell, Fan Daxing, the battalion officer in charge of the department's guards, walked in quickly and saluted: "The battalion in the supervision standard has been assembled, please give an order." ”

Zuo Zongtang said in a deep voice: "Hurry to the east gate, be sure to ensure the safety of the east gate and clear the eastern suburbs." ”

"The last will obey."

Fan Daxing, who was waiting, turned around and left, and Li Yunlin hesitated and said, "Lord Ministries plans to give up Gongning City?" ”

"If you don't let it, you can't do it——。" Zuo Zongtang sighed lightly, his tone was full of reluctance and unwillingness, Li Yunlin was full of puzzlement, "The military region is close at hand, Gongning is in danger, Commander Tang will definitely come to the rescue, at most he will only need to hold on for half an hour ......." ”

"Zhu Shanhai dared to use Gongning City as a battlefield, but the headquarters did not dare." Zuo Zongtang said in a deep voice: "Besides, giving up Gongning City is also part of the plan. ”

Is this deliberately conniving at Zhu Shanhai to sit big? Li Yunlin's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Then ...... the queen mother and the emperor?" ”

Zuo Zongtang said without thinking: "Naturally, we will evacuate together." ”

For Zhu Shanhai, the Empress Dowager Ci'an and the Guangxu Emperor are naturally strange goods, so the Governor's Mansion has become the primary target, as the two red and yellow signal flares are raised, the guards already stationed in the city will go straight to the Governor's Palace, and the battle will start first around the Governor's Palace.

Hearing the dense gunfire coming from outside the high wall, the governor's palace was in chaos, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an, who had experienced countless strong winds and waves, was much calmer, and ordered the execution of several panicked eunuchs and palace maids to calm the situation, she ordered in a deep voice, "Gao Yuande, take over the emperor, and the others will do their jobs and not act rashly!" ”

"The Empress Dowager, the Praetorian Guards are all in charge of Tong Weisheng and ask to see him outside."

"Xuan!"

Tong Weisheng strode in, and said in a deep voice after seeing the salute: "Empress Dowager, Zhu Shanhai led his troops into the city to make trouble, and he is fighting fiercely with the Governor Battalion outside...... ”

It's Zhu Shanhai again! Ci An's head couldn't help but be annoyed, in this case, Zhu Shanhai actually raised an army to make a rebellion, isn't this self-defeating? Calm down, she has vaguely guessed the other party's intentions - this is a repetition of the old trick, wanting to control her mother and mother again!

After just a slight groan, she asked in a deep voice: "How many troops does Zhu Shanhai have entered the city?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, I can't judge at this time." Tong Weisheng hurriedly said: "However, a large number of people are coming from the direction of the West Gate. After a pause, he continued: "The current situation is unknown, and the last general implores the queen mother to move ......." ”

Transfer? There is a chaotic battle outside, and it is blind to the lights, how to move? The gun is not long-eyed, in case the emperor has any accident, how can she explain to the ancestors and ancestors? How to send a representative to the king of the clan? How to explain to the imperial court?

"No, stay behind closed doors." Ci'an said in a deep voice: "Tang Bingcan's tens of thousands of troops are in the eastern suburbs, and they will not sit idly by, and they will come to help soon." ”

Ci'an saw it very thoroughly, even if Zhu Shanhai's ministry surrounded the governor's mansion, he would not send troops to attack her mother and her mother regardless of their safety, after all, her mother and her mother were only useful if they were alive, and Zuo Zongtang and Tang Bingcan would not let her mother be held hostage by Zhu Shanhai, in terms of strength and combat power, Zhu Shanhai's department did not have an advantage.

Gunshots rang out one after another in various parts of the city, and gradually intensified, during which there were also sporadic explosions, the whole Gongning City was beaten into a pot of porridge, some gas street lamps were destroyed and ignited into a sky-high fire, and there were also private houses on fire or were ignited one after another, for a time, the city was full of fires, reflecting the night sky.
