Chapter 282: The First Shot

Kim Peiquan crossed the river?

At first, everyone couldn't believe it when they heard the news, Ye Niangzi almost grabbed her short sword and asked loudly: "This is impossible, right?" ”

This is really impossible, how can Jin Peiquan cross the river!

You must know that in the Red Turban Army, Ni Tingmo is nominally the second person, but in fact, Jin Peiquan, the mastermind of Qu Zhenhan, is the third person on the surface is the real second person.

You must know that before the Red Turban Army uprising, it was Jin Peiquan and Qu Zhenhan who planned the uprising together, although Jin Peiquan was not a good strategist, but Qu Zhenhan believed in Jin Peiquan the most.

For a long time, Qu Zhenhan obeyed Jin Peiquan's words, and even the previous plan to go south to Fujian was also Jin Peiquan's idea, and Jin Peiquan's influence in the Red Turban Army was so great that it was difficult for outsiders to separate him from Qu Zhenhan.

But it was such a Qu Zhenhan's most trusted strategist who actually crossed the river with Yu Cun to join the Dragon Lance Battalion, no wonder everyone couldn't believe it!

In order to welcome Jin Peiquan's arrival, Baoshunlun's Karen cannon even conducted a round of test firing, and fired two salutes to celebrate, and Lu Ping, Duncan and Ye Yudie all went to Panshizhai to pick up Jin Peiquan in person.

Jin Peiquan looked guilty, and as soon as he appeared, it triggered a trend in the entire Panshi Village: "Sure enough, it's Jin Peiquan, Jin Junshi is not optimistic about Qu Zhenhan, and he crossed the river to throw himself into the dragon spear camp!" ”

"The Dragon Lance Battalion is always brothers with blood connections, how can they kill each other!"

"Jin Junshi has crossed the river, everything is easy to do!"

"That's it! With the Jin Junshi on our side, we can know what Qu Zhenhan is doing! ”

You must know that when it comes to understanding Qu Zhenhan, Jin Peiquan, the strategist who always follows him, knows best, so his appearance even caused a burst of cheers, and Yu Cun led him to see several leaders of Panshi Village: "Jin Junshi, this is Lu Ping Lu Zhixian, this is Mr. Duncan Deng, and ...... This is Ye Niangniang! ”

As he was talking, there were already many warships on the river, and the sail warships in Ye Niangzi's fleet also rushed over, and immediately cheered on the Panshi Village: "Qu Zhenhai eat shit!" ”

"The dragon spear battalion is invincible and invincible!"

"The Dragon Lance Battalion is invincible in the world!"

"When did the Red Turban Army dare to make a move against the Dragon Lance Battalion?"

Everyone's voices became louder and louder, but Jin Peiquan knelt down: "Sinner Jin Peiquan, I have seen Ye Niangniang, Lu Zhixian, and Mr. Deng, the sinner's sin is unforgivable, but when it is in danger, please take care of a few people!" ”

"What's going on!" Among the people present, Ye Niangzi has the highest status and the most troops, she immediately said: "Jin Junshi came from afar to vote, and I am welcome to represent the inspection!" ”

At first, she was worried that she would not be able to hold down her position, after all, this Qu Zhenhan had no less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Wenzhou Mansion, if you count Ding Zhuang, who was temporarily pulled out, it was possible to have 100,000, and there was no shortage of veterans in these 20,000 people, and there was no shortage of foreign guns and artillery.

But now that even Jin Peiquan has come over, Ye Niangzi has a feeling of being helped by the righteous and helpless, and even Qu Zhenhan's most trusted military advisor, the strategists who have mastered his countless secrets, have defected to the side of the Hong Army, what capital can Qu Zhenhai have to confront the Hong Army, no matter on the water or land, he is not the opponent of the Hong Army.

It's just that Jin Peiquan quickly revealed a shocking news: "I have known Qu Zhenhan for many years, and I shouldn't have been sorry for my friends, but Qu Zhenhai defected to the Qing demon and wanted to kill each other with my anti-Qing righteous soldiers, so Jin, as a Han man, has to focus on integrity and the country first!" ”

"What?" Lu Ping's side was taken aback: "Master Jin, Qu Zhenhan is going to surrender to the Qing Demon?" Jin Peiquan is just a second-rate or even third-rate strategist, but he is often praised by Liu Chang, saying that he is "not confused in big things", and today is the best performance of what he called: "not confused in big things".

"That's right! Now Qu Zhenhan does not dare to openly hook up with the Qing Demon, but he has privately contacted the envoy sent by the Qing Demon several times, and the king demon head of Fujian has promised Qu Zhenhan that as long as Qu Zhenhan is willing to send troops to Yueqing, then Fujian Province will not only not attack Wenzhou, but will also concentrate all its forces to attack Lu Ziyun in the state capital. ”

As soon as Jin Peiquan said this, tears fell: "Qu Zhenhan and I have been friends for many years, I can't turn my back on him to surrender to the inspection point, but now it is the luck of the country, I can only go public and then private!" ”

As soon as he said this, there was immediately a round of applause and cheers in the entire Panshi Village, and everyone praised in unison: "Master Jin, good job!" ”

"Master Jin, we can't follow Qu Zhenhan in a daze!"

"The Dragon Lance Battalion is orthodox, let's follow orthodoxy and go!"

And Ye Niangzi was more concerned about the details of Qu Zhenhan's collusion with the Fujian Qing army: "Then Qu Zhenhan agreed?" ”

Although Qu Zhenhan's Red Turban Army now only occupies Wenzhou Mansion, and Yueqing County has also lent it to Liu Chang, and Yuhuan Hall is also under the control of the Hong Army, I have to admit that this force has a great influence and occupies a very critical territory, so Wenzhou Mansion can be said to be an important chess piece that can determine the outcome of both sides.

"Qu Zhenhan didn't fully agree, but agreed to send troops to Yueqing and Yuhuan to take back the territory belonging to Wenzhou Mansion, and then decide the next step after getting Yueqing and Yuhuan!" Jin Peiquan told everyone: "I completely disagree with Qu Zhenhan's approach, but Qu Zhenhan feels that there is a lot of danger now, and if you don't take a risky move, you just sit back and wait for destruction." ”

Speaking of which, this is a sentence, the south is the Fujian Qing army, the north and west are the territory controlled by the Hong army, and the sea in the east is also controlled by Ye Niangzi's sailors, and now Qu Zhenhan's Red Turban Army is compressed in the territory of several counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no room for development.

In this case, Qu Zhenhan could only decide to make the next dangerous move and find a way out, so Qu Zhenhan said: "I persuaded me several times, but Qu Dashuai was obsessed, and even intensified, not only to kill each other, but to put General Xu Fengfei and Xu, who opposed him doing so, under house arrest, and in desperation, I could only cross the river with Mr. Yu Village!" ”

Jin Peiquan's words are seven points true, and three points are made up by him, but some of the inside stories of the decision-making at the top level of the Red Turban Army have been exposed, and the entire Panshi Village has been boiling.

Although some people feel that it is very correct for them to come to the Dragon Gun Battalion, they have won Qu Zhenhan's job after all, and they are always a little embarrassed, thinking that they are going behind the Lord after all, but when Jin Peiquan said this, everyone felt that it was Qu Zhenhan who lost Liu Chang, the Hongjun and the Dragon Spear Battalion.

That's right, Qu Zhenhan is a country, Liu Chang fought for him, there is no dragon gun battalion, I am afraid that Qu Zhenhan can only circle in Yueqing Bay now, but Liu Chang's hard work and high achievements were actually exchanged for Qu Zhenhan's betrayal, and he even defected to the Qing Demon.

In this case, Ye Niangzi raised her pistol, fired a shot into the sky, and said loudly: "Brothers! You are all good men, are you willing to follow me to find Qu Zhenhan, a traitor, to settle a score! ”

Ye Niangzi's more than a dozen galleons plus the Baoshun wheel have all arrived in Panshi Village, each ship is equipped with rows of cannons, plus the two super cannons at the end of the Baoshun wheel, plus the influence of Jin Peiquan's investment, everyone has become full of confidence: "Yes, willing!" No matter where Ye Niangniang goes, we are willing to follow wherever we go! ”

Now there are two or three hundred defenders of the Hong Army in Panshi Village, and there are eight or nine hundred Red Turban troops who crossed the river and took refuge, so Ye Niangzi immediately shouted: "Since Qu Zhenhai is determined to attack us with iron and fire, we can only repay with iron and fire, Duncan!" Take out all the guns in the Panshi Village inventory and equip them for everyone! "Good!" Duncan agreed: "No problem! ”

Panshizhai is the favorite port of call for Western arms dealers, there are a large number of foreign guns and foreign cannons in stock, and Duncan has recently begun to use mechanical equipment to assemble firing guns, although many parts need to be purchased from Shanghai, and the quality of the finished products is also worse than that of imported rifles, but at least fifty firing pistols have been assembled, in addition, Panshi Cannon also has a large number of artillery stocks.

The bronze cannons cast in Ruian County have now been recast by Duncan and the technicians of the Hongjun Army, and have been turned into all kinds of light artillery, including several rifled guns recommended by Duncan, which are claimed to be infinitely powerful, and now Duncan has decided to take out these stocks.

As long as Yueqing County is held, then these stocks can be converted into combat effectiveness, and Duncan is also very clear that now Ye Niangzi must be attacking in the direction of Yongjia County in a state of advancing by land and water, with a combined force of nearly 2,000 people, and the officers and soldiers of these Red Turban Army who came to take refuge are all old soldiers, and there is absolutely no problem in fighting.

Everyone temporarily set up two infantry battalions in Panshi Village, and at first there were some problems in the appointment of cadres, but Ye Niangzi quickly took the opportunity to directly appoint some cadres she knew or was familiar with: "Commander of the Loyal and Filial Piety Battalion, Lei Bin!" ”

"Commander of the First Battalion of the Loyal Battalion ......"

These two improvised infantry battalions were named the Zhongxiao Battalion and the Zhongyi Battalion, and it only took one night, and the two infantry battalions already looked like each other, and when they looked at it from a distance, everyone thought it was the old battalion head of the Hong Army, after all, the white armed belts and uniforms in the Panshi Village inventory were moved out of the warehouse under Duncan's orders.

But more importantly, there is a kind of confidence building, behind them there is a dragon spear battalion, with more than a dozen large warships and hundreds of artillery pieces of Ye Niangzi, with the best foreign guns and foreign cannons in their hands, and even a steady supply of ammunition and food support, which makes these two infantry battalions change their appearance at once.

It's just that when the day is about to dawn, bad news has already come: "Qu Zhenhan's team pressed over from Yongjia County in the north, and they fired the first shot first!" ”
