Chapter 170: Dead End

The night breeze is gentle.

Chen Shizhong stood at the foot of Linhai City, looked at the closed gate, and shouted loudly towards the city gate: "Zhang Yuzao, Zhang Governor, Zhang Futai, Zhang Yuzao, you come out for me!" This town is going to fight this lawsuit with you in front of He Futai! ”

He cursed for a long time, and finally someone appeared on the city wall, it was Zhang Yuzao, the prefect of Taizhou, who obviously turned a blind eye to Chen Shizhong's shouting, and he yawned before saying: "Could it be that the city is Chen Zongbing?" ”

Chen Shizhong shouted loudly: "It's this town, quickly open it and let me in!" ”

Zhang Yuzao shook his head: "General Chen's garrison is in Huangyan, not in Linhai, so I can't admit General Chen into the city!" ”

Qing system, guard the loss of the city and behead, and strict to a very exaggerated degree, not only the military generals lost their defense to be beheaded, up to the governor, down to the state and county, the loss of the city will not only be executed, but also implicate the family and descendants.

But Chen Shizhong said loudly: "Huangyan Town is a sailor, and according to the regulations, he should not be responsible for the defense of Huangyan City, and there is a precedent for Zhang Chaofa to follow." ”

In the first battle of Zhoushan in the Rappy War, Zhang Chaofa, the chief soldier of Dinghai Town, was seriously injured and returned to Zhenhai, but he was not punished, because Dinghai Town was a sailor and did not bear the responsibility of defending the city according to the regulations, but Zhang Yuzao still refused to open the city: "Although Huangyan Town is a water division, Huangyan has soldiers and brave three cadres who can fight a battle, and General Chen should return to the station!" ”

If Chen Shizhong is put into Linhai Mansion City, then he Zhang Yuzao and Chen Shizhong will have to bear the great responsibility of Huangyan's loss, but this is completely the responsibility of him Chen Shizhong alone!

He commanded the three battalions of the Green Battalion Water Division, with one or two thousand regiments, but he only defended Huangyan City for two days, and it is said that the red thieves had not officially attacked the city on the first day, and he Zhang Yuzao could not afford such a responsibility: "Now it is the red thieves who advocate chaos." Different Yingyi invaded, Mr. Chen, please go back! ”

During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, the chief officials who lost their defenses had reached an extremely perverted level, and if you found an example of the minister of the frontier abandoning the city and leaving during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, it was none other than the governor of Liangjiang in the tenth year of Xianfeng, and He Guiqing, the prince of Taijian, abandoned Changzhou.

At that time, the Taiping army broke through the Jiangnan camp for the second time, and attacked Changzhou where He Guiqing was seated. And Wang Youling, the governor of Zhejiang Province, who has been a friend of He Guiqing for many years, handed over a letter to warn He Guiqing not to flee Changzhou: "Things are in danger, as a minister, all eyes are open, and the eyes are stopped." One move will disintegrate people's hearts. ”

At that time, the Jiangnan camp was on the verge of collapse, lacking pay and grain, the whole line was defeated, the big-headed sheep Zhang Guoliang was killed in battle, and Chun fled to Changzhou. Saving the strength and retiring to Suzhou to raise salaries, in order to fight again, He Guiqing comprehended his heart, and said that the military had been handed over to Hechun, and went to Suzhou to raise salaries, and when he left, his entourage killed more than ten Changzhou gentry who knelt and stayed before he escaped, and Chun also retreated to Suzhou to commit suicide.

It's just that He Guiqing's wishful thinking to protect himself didn't come to fruition, and when He Guiqing arrived in Suzhou. Xu Youren, the governor of Jiangsu, refused to open the door, and even impeached He for "abandoning the city and mourning the teacher", and He Guiqing could not enter Suzhou, so he could only flee into the Shanghai concession.

He Guiqing's run, not only Changzhou was captured by the Taiping army. Next, Suzhou was also captured by the Taiping Army, Jiangsu Governor Xu Youren was killed and martyred in the street battle, and He Guiqing was impeached for many crimes, although this was not his responsibility, but the inevitable result of the Jiangnan camp being broken by Li Xiucheng, but it was still "leading 100,000 troops to abandon the city and abscond, resulting in the loss of Changzhou, Changshu, and Suzhou", Xianfeng was arrested and sent to Beijing for interrogation. It was only because Emperor Xianfeng took refuge in Rehe that the case was shelved for two years.

During this period, the backbone of He Guiqing's small group ran around, trying to save his life, and at that time, the court was discussing and each had already seen it, and the Empress Dowager Cixi thought that "He Guiqing was once a member of the first grade, and it should be prudent to use punishment." If there is any doubt, you may wish to see what you see", at this time, Zeng Guofan, who had a deep enmity with He Guiqingsu, gave a fatal knife from behind, "Xinjiang officials take the city guard as a major festival. It is not appropriate to take the words of subordinates as the first and the last; The minister does not have to weigh the guilt of the public with the guilt of the heart." In the end, He Guiqing could only be mixed in the vegetable market and abandoned the market.

Although this is a story of another time and space, but it is still valid in this time and space, Chen Shizhong is still begging under the city: "I am a sailor in Huangyan Town, I can't hold this Huangyan after all, I have a will, please Zhang Fu be gracious, let me enter the city!" You and I are in one place, and the coastal attack is more certain! ”…,

Although the Hong army intercepted and killed, there were still more than 300 soldiers who fled to Linhai City with Chen Shizhong, Zhang Yuzao couldn't help but move, but he was afraid of taking the heavy responsibility of Huangyan's loss, so he was silent in Linhai City.

Chen Shizhong was still begging for each other in the city, Zhang Yuzao was moved, and just wanted to speak, but a cronie ran up to the city tower quickly, and said close to his ear: "Huang Yan's urgent letter, Gao Liangcai's own blood letter!" ”

With the help of the torch, Zhang Yuzao immediately took a closer look at the blood book written by Kochi County, but saw that the entire letter was a letter, and it was indeed Gao Liangcai's handwriting: "The thief fell like rain, and fought fiercely with it for two hours, although the thief did not count, but the thief entered with the corpse, and there was a bad regiment to practice and advocate chaos, the east gate was lost, and he was not allowed to retreat into the city, and Chen Zhentai made an appointment, Chen Zhen fought back at the city gate, and the county also guarded the county government, but just entered the county office, the red thief brigade was like ants, swarming, and Chen Zhen did not know where to go......"

In desperation, the county led Guangyong to rush and kill, and the team before the thieves ...... He also contained 1,000 and hundreds of defeated brave people, and fought fiercely for two hours, the soldiers were either dead or wounded, and there were only 500 strange bravery, and the thieves were also extremely frustrated, and the troops were not attacked, but Huangcheng was already in danger, and Chen Zhentong led the battalion soldiers to have no news, and urgently asked the government and Taiwan to quickly come to the rescue, Huangcheng was lost, and the whole Taiwan was in danger......"

At this moment, Zhang Yuzao scolded loudly: "Shameless, too shameless!" Chen Shizhong, you are too shameless, as the chief soldier of a town, you even ignored the appointment with Kochi County and abandoned the city without a fight! Now that Kochi County is asking for help, do you still want to enter my city? Shameless! ”

Chen Shizhong was taken aback, he only thought that Gao Liangcai couldn't last much time in the city, and he had already committed suicide and martyrdom, but he didn't expect him to stick to Huangyan City, and even wrote a blood letter asking for help, he blurted out: "Kochi County is still holding on to Huangyan?" ”

It's just that he immediately changed his words: "I heard that he left the city in advance, and then he was forced to retreat!" ”

Zhang Yuzao was angry, and he immediately took out Gao Liangcai's handwritten blood book: "This is the handwritten blood book of Kochi County, I know his handwriting, do you want to read it to you!" ”

“…… Cun Yong is only 500 strange, and the thieves are also extremely frustrated, so they do not attack, but Huangcheng is in danger, and Chen Zhentong and the battalion still have no news......"

As soon as this blood letter was read, Chen Shizhong only felt that a mouthful of blood was blocked in his throat, and he had no face to face Zhang Yuzao, so he could only turn around and walk into the night, but a personal soldier who usually trusted him next to him asked: "How can Kochi County hold on to Huangyan City for half a day?" What he could collect at that time was not just a few hundred brave men? Maybe it's a thief's trick! ”

At this time, it was already the moon and the stars were scarce, and after Chen Shizhong heard this, a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out: "This must be a thief's trick, extremely hateful, I only know today what is called Liu Juehu, and it really came out of the desperate scheme!" ”

"But with more than 300 of us, what's the use of killing back to Huangyan City, the red thieves are extremely strong!" Another general said: "Even if Kochi County gathers up its soldiers and still holds on to the city, more than 300 of us pull it up, it's really a meat bun and a dog!" ”

The truth he said, with these more than 300 remnants of the defeated generals, it is really useless, but Chen Shizhong has already made up his mind at the next moment: "Sure enough, it is a desperate plan, knowing that this is a big fire pit, and you have to jump in, are you willing to fight with me for a great fortune?" ”

"We can't enter Linhai City, where else can we go except to go back to Huangyan City and jump into the fire pit!" The general replied: "Whether this is a desperate plan of the willow thief or not, we can only believe it!" ”

"Maybe Kochi County is still holding on to Huangyan County!" Chen Shizhong, the chief soldier of Huangyan Town, had no choice but to comfort himself: "Zhang Yuzao said that it is indeed the handwriting of Kochi County, with our remnants of the defeated army will be killed back to Huangyan, it is indeed a meat bun beating a dog, but what about pulling up the three battalions of Taizhou Xiecheng!" ”

"Taizhou Association?" This general manager immediately came to his senses: "There is also the Ninghai camp, you can pull it out!" ”

In the whole Huangyan Town, all the troops under its jurisdiction are the three battalions of the standard camp water division, the Taiping battalion, the Taizhou association, and the Ninghai battalion, the Taiping battalion has been annihilated in Taiping County, and the third battalion of the standard battalion water division landed in Huangyan County and Liu Chang to defend it with danger, but most of them were annihilated, and only more than 300 people broke through to Linhai City with Chen Shizhong.

And the remaining troops in Huangyan Town are only the third battalion of Taizhou Xiecheng and the Ninghai battalion, Chen Shizhong is also broken and broken, and now he has no way to advance or retreat, obviously 99% of the front is Liu Chang's desperate plan, and he can only gamble desperately, maybe there is a possibility of winning the bet. …,

"But we can't even enter the gate of Fucheng?" Someone immediately asked: "How to coordinate Taizhou?" ”

"Zhang Yuzao is sorry for me, let's be sorry for him, as soon as it dawns, he will immediately rush into the sea with me, drag Taizhou Xiequan out, and whoever dares to disobey the order will behead him!"

He is the chief soldier of Huangyan Town, and he is the direct boss of the Taizhou Association, and he wants to transfer the third battalion of the Taizhou Association to fight, but it is most justifiable that Zhang Yuzao is only the prefect of Taizhou, and he does not care about his dispatch of the Taizhou Association and the Ninghai Battalion.

He said to another guerrilla: "You ride my fast horse to Ninghai, no matter how much it costs, transfer the Ninghai battalion to the south!" ”

Pieced together four infantry battalions, although the Ninghai battalion may not be able to catch up with the battle, but this is much stronger than Chen Shizhong leading three hundred remnants of the army to defeat the meat buns and beat the dogs, if it is lucky, Gao Liangcai is still holding on to the city, Chen Shizhong recovered Huangyan City, not only will atone for his crimes, but also be able to rise to the top.

If this was a big fire pit dug by Liu Chang, it would be much safer for two or three thousand people to jump into it than for only three hundred people to jump in, Chen Shizhong had only one thought at the moment.

If people don't do it, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!

ps: There was a little accident, I originally wanted to have four more, but there were only two more today, and four more resolutely tomorrow. ）
