Chapter 543: Squeezing Oil and Water
γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
The air is full of the smell of blood, the smell of gunsmoke, and the scorching smell of the human body after being burned by the fire, so thick that it is difficult to breathe, the blue-black smoke fills the sky, even if the golden light of the morning sun has shot on the top of the West Mountain, the sky above Chizhou City is still gray, the sound of guns and cannons is gradually thinning, and the fierce and cruel offensive and defensive battle of Chizhou has gradually come to an end.
Sitting on the charred ground with his back against the collapsed courtyard wall, He Yunlong gasped heavily, sweat continued to flow down his forehead, and rushed out of the ditch on his blood-stained face that was blackened by gunsmoke, and several wounds on his body were still oozing blood, but He Yunlong didn't even have the strength to care.
The Colt's revolver in his hand had long since been shot, and the Minnie gun, which had also been shot, had even broken its bayonet, and there were only five blood-stained soldiers sitting or lying around, but at the end of the street, there was noise and sporadic gunfire. He Yunlong struggled to stand up, but he tried several times but failed, so he could only speak: "Help me up, the demon soldiers are here again, we have to go quickly." β
He Yunlong looked around and found that the terrain on the right was more complicated, so he made a gesture and beckoned a few pro-soldiers to go in that direction, but the remaining three pro-soldiers were too seriously injured, either they couldn't stand up, or they barely stood up and fell down again, and after trying again to find it useless, one of the pro-soldiers could only say in a hoarse voice: "Zhongtianan, we can't move, you go, leave us alone." β
Looking at the three Guangxi brothers who were no longer able to move, He Yunlong first nodded, and then said in a more hoarse voice: "If you can't do it, surrender, I don't blame you." β
"We don't surrender." An old brother whose mouth was bleeding was faint and said, "I'd rather die than surrender, Zhongtianan, take care." β
Tears oozed out of the corners of He Yunlong's eyes, choked and nodded, He Yunlong staggered to the right, but unfortunately, before he walked far, the roar of the Wu soldiers came from the corner of the street, "There are long hairs over there, and there are a few long hairs." β
A large group of Wu soldiers wearing white tasseled hats rushed over, shouting from afar that they would surrender and not kill, struggling to rush for a distance and found that the enemy was getting closer and closer, He Yunlong knew that he could not escape, so he could only help his Guangxi soldiers who wanted to support themselves to escape and ordered: "Give me a shot, don't let me be a prisoner." β
"Naktenan." Both pro-soldiers cried.
"Less nonsense, give me a shot." He Yunlong roared, "I'd rather die than be a prisoner of the demon soldiers!" β
"Zhongtianan, we have no guns, and we have no gunpowder." One of the soldiers replied with a weeping.
He Yunlong sighed, he could only take off the bayonet that had been broken, and put it next to his neck to prepare to break it himself, but his hand was weak, and the knife only cut the skin between his neck, and when He Yunlong wanted to re-cut again, the Wu soldiers had already rushed to the closer, and a Wu soldier with a little martial arts also flew up with a volley, kicking He Yunlong, who was wearing a general's uniform, to the ground, and the other Wu soldiers swarmed up, pressing He Yunlong and the remaining two Taiping soldiers to the ground......
"Demon soldier, kill me! Kill me! Lao Tzu does not surrender! Lao Tzu does not surrender! β
The shouts of struggle were useless, and after checking the waist card and discovering the identity of He Yunlong, the commander of the Chizhou Taiping Army, the soldiers of the Wu Army, who were shocked by joy, not only did not execute He Yunlong, but also forcibly bandaged He Yunlong's wounds, and then tied He Yunlong with flowers, erected the Chizhou City, which was already full of dead bodies and blood, and escorted him to the temporary command post of the Wu Army outside the city, and handed it over to Feng Sanbao, the commander of the Southwest Wu Army.
Feng Sanbao, who was full of righteousness with a national character face, stopped the Wu soldiers from forcing He Yunlong to kneel, ordered He Yunlong to loosen the tie and set up a seat, and sat He Yunlong down with his own hands, and asked someone to bring wine and snacks for He Yunlong to eat and drink, He Yunlong, who had not eaten water and rice all night, did not refuse to come, and ate and drank when he was willing to drink, but when Feng Sanbao tentatively asked He Yunlong if he was willing to surrender, He Yunlong did not hesitate to smash the snack in his hand on Feng Sanbao's face, and scolded: "Dream! Lao Tzu and you demon soldiers are not in the same sky! β
Feng Sanbao, who had always kept in mind his son-in-law's advice, was disappointed, but he still stopped the guards on both sides from attacking, and said to He Yunlong: "General He, why are you suffering? Things have come to this point, why are you still so stubborn? If you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your wife and your children? They have all been captured alive by us, and I have also given an order to the soldiers to treat them well, so you don't want to meet them? β
"Don't talk nonsense, kill if you want to." He Yunlong was full of awe-inspiring righteousness, and said: "I have become my woman, and the children I gave birth to are their lives, if you want to kill or chop, by the way!" β
Feng Sanbao, who was bent on shaping He Yunlong into a role model for recruiting and surrendering, was even more disappointed when he heard it, but he didn't expect Li Hezhang next to him to suddenly open his mouth and said, "General He, the person you hate the most shouldn't be us, right?" Last night, if it weren't for Huang Wenjin's greed for life and fear of death, he fled with the army first, why would you have come to this point? β
Hearing Li Hezhang mention Huang Wenjin, who refused to enter the city to participate in the war and led the army to slip away in advance, He Yunlong's face was suddenly full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, Lao Tzu will not let go of that dog mongrel if he sees the heavenly father, if it weren't for that dog mongrel who is greedy for life and afraid of death, you dog demon soldiers would not be able to enter Lao Tzu's Chizhou City!" β
After carefully observing He Yunlong's expression, and seeing that He Yunlong's expression of hatred for Huang Wenjin was definitely not fake, Li Hezhang nodded slightly, and first suggested that Feng Sanbao order He Yunlong to be taken away and temporarily imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp, and then Li Hezhang said to Feng Sanbao: "Uncle, this He Yunlong is still very useful and cannot be killed." β
"I don't want to kill him, but what good is it if he doesn't surrender?" Feng Sanbao asked helplessly.
"He doesn't need to surrender." Li Hezhang smiled and said, "As long as he hates Huang Wenjin's big long hair." β
"What do you mean by that?" After all, Feng Sanbao is not full of bad water like his son-in-law, and he can't directly understand what Li Hezhang means.
"Uncle, what would you do if you were He Yunlong and met Huang Wenjin again?" Li Hezhang asked again with a smile.
"Of course, I fought with him on the spot." Feng Sanbao replied without thinking about it: "The prisoners we captured have already been confessed, He Yunlong sent people to ask Huang Wenjin to enter the city for reinforcements several times last night, but Huang Wenjin refused, and in the second half of the night, he ran away with the army in advance. I don't think this He Yunlong is a good-tempered person, and if he meets Huang Wenjin again, he will definitely fight with him immediately. β
"Then we should give him this chance." Li Hezhang said with a wicked smile: "Huang Wenjin took the army to the east, if nothing else, it should be to Tongling, as long as we confirm this, we will immediately find an excuse to release He Yunlong and let him go to Tongling, and then He Yunlong and Huang Wenjin will be desperate as soon as they meet, and Zhao Jinfu, the long-haired man who guards Tongling, is in a dilemma, and anyone who helps will make contradictions. β
Feng Sanbao laughed out loud and praised: "It's still the brain of the virtuous nephew, and he can come up with such a good idea to make the long hair strife, but the good nephew, He Yunlong is now alone, even if he and Huang Wenjin fight hard as soon as they meet, they will definitely not be able to fight, and it won't have much effect on making the long hair strife?" β
"Last night, there were a lot of Chi Governor Mao who ran out of the city to escape for their lives, and many of them must have gone to Tongling, and they will definitely help He Yunlong find Huang Wenjin desperately." Li Hezhang smiled confidently: "Also, Chizhou is adjacent to Tongling, He Yunlong and Zhao Jinfu must have a lot of contacts in ordinary times, and the friendship between Zhao Jinfu and He Yunlong is definitely deeper than that with Huang Wenjin. As long as Zhao Jinfu and Huang Wenjin deviate from morality, our next battle will definitely be much easier. β
Feng Sanbao was even more moved when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, Feng Sanbao nodded and said: "Then do it, as long as it is confirmed that Huang Wenjin has escaped to Tongling to meet with the long-haired Zhao Jinfu Department, we will release He Yunlong and let him go to Tongling to find Huang Wenjin desperately." Anyway, this He Yunlong is killed in vain, it is better to let him play a role again, and show that we are benevolent, so that Changmao knows that there is hope for survival if he is caught by us. β
"Uncle, then just send He Yunlong's family to him and lock him up." Li Hezhang suggested again: "When we release him, I will simply release his family with him, so that Tongling's long hair can look at our belly and know that we can even save our family if we surrender." β
Feng Sanbao has never liked to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so naturally he would not mind releasing a few inconsequential women and children, so he immediately nodded in agreement, and immediately sent someone to give an order to let the prisoner of war camp lock He Yunlong's family together and treat them as well as possible.
In this way, of course, it was cheaper for nothing He Yunlong, who would rather die than surrender, when a wife, a concubine and two sons and a daughter were sent to He Yunlong by Wu Sergeant, He Yunlong, who had already held the heart of death, was naturally very surprised, and he was also somewhat shaken in the crying of his wife and children, and no longer insulted Wu Jun at every turn to guard himself to find death, and began to admire Feng Sanbao's heart and belly, although he did not have the idea of surrendering, but he also greatly reduced his hatred for Wu Jun, and understood that Wu Jun was indeed very sincere in recruiting himself.
More than a day later, when his family was escorted by Wu Jun to the vicinity of the suburbs of Tongling, Feng Sanbao actually summoned him again, and said directly to He Yunlong as they met: "General He, there is something to trouble you, I want to send a letter to your Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Zhao Jinfu, but there is no suitable messenger, please work hard, take my letter to General Zhao Jinfu Zhao?" β
"You asked me to deliver a letter to Brother Zhao?" He Yunlong accidentally exposed his close relationship with Zhao Jinfu in surprise, and blurted out again: "Are you not afraid that I will never return?" β
"I didn't expect you to come back." Feng Sanbao smiled and said: "The official asked you to send a letter to Zhao Jinfu because I wanted him to see the official's attitude with his own eyes, and let him know what the result would be as long as he surrendered to us, so the official didn't need you to come back, you should stay there when you arrived in Tongling." β
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the army to find you again?" He Yunlong asked suspiciously.
"Of course I'm not afraid." Feng Sanbao said with a smile: "If General He still wants to be with us on the battlefield for a long time, we can accompany us again, you also have this opportunity, our scouts report that part of your army fled to Tongling and joined General Zhao." β
He Yunlong was even more suspicious, and he was a little inclined to speak, and Li Hezhang next to him observed his words and guessed He Yunlong's thoughts, so he interjected and said: "General He, please rest assured, in order to let General Zhao Jinfu and them know the sincerity of our surrender, we will let you take your family to Tongling together, and you and your wife and children will go together." β
He Yunlong showed a joy that could not be concealed, but after thinking about it, He Yunlong categorically refused, shook his head and said: "I won't go, I don't have the face to go to my soldiers, let alone take my wife and children to see them." β
I didn't expect He Yunlong to perform so unscripted, Feng Sanbao was of course a little stunned, but fortunately, Li Hezhang next to him thought very quickly, and immediately said: "That's okay, we can ask Mrs. Zun and your son-in-law to send a letter, General He, you choose, do you go to Tongling with your family, or let your family go for you?" β
He Yunlong hesitated again, and Li Hezhang pretended to persuade: "General He, don't be stubborn, our Feng Dashuai is a good intention, take your family to Tongling, and then find another place to settle them as soon as possible, fighting is the business of our lords, it has nothing to do with women and children, don't let them risk staying on the front line." β
He Yunlong was even more shaken when he heard this, but Li Hezhang couldn't help but say, and Yue Yan clapped for He Yunlong and said, "Since General He has no opinion, then do it." Come, quickly General He and his family prepare ships and send them ashore. β
In this way, half-pushed and half-done, He Yunlong's family of six was finally invited to the Wu army's boat, and went down the river under the protection of several Wu army's sailor sampans, and soon came to the vicinity of Tongguan Mountain in the southern suburbs of Tongling, and went ashore with Feng Sanbao's letter at the polite invitation of the Wu army's soldiers. Then soon, an army came over from the Taiping Army camp on Tongguan Mountain and stopped He Yunlong's family, who were still unbelievableβin fact, until the last moment, He Yunlong still couldn't believe that Wu Jun would really let his family go like this.
He Yunlong and Zhao Jinfu, the general of the Tongling Taiping Army who was also awarded the title of Tian'an, did have a good relationship, and the Taiping Army on the Tongling side was also quite familiar with He Yunlong, and just asked He Yunlong's identity and intentions, and immediately invited He Yunlong's family into the Taiping Army's Tongguanshan camp, and after verifying the identity, the Taiping Army stationed in Tongguan Mountain also immediately sent someone to escort He Yunlong to Tongling to meet with Zhao Jinfu at the first time, He Yunlong was grateful, but he was also very embarrassed, and was very ashamed of being captured by the Wu Army and forced to deliver a letter for the Wu Army.
The emotions of embarrassment and shame were quickly replaced by anger, and when he went north to Tongling City under the protection of friendly troops, He Yunlong first confirmed that some of his remnants had fled to Tongling City, and then unexpectedly learned that Huang Wenjin, who flatly refused to enter the city for reinforcements and ran away in advance, actually came to Tongling with his army! Then He Yunlong didn't think about it, and immediately asked the two Sima of the Taiping Army who were protecting him with red eyes: "Huang Wenjin, that dog mongrel, where is he now?!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time, Huang Wenjin was in Tongling City, and was arguing with Zhao Jinfu, the chief general of the Tongling Taiping Army, over a small matter - in view of the situation, Huang Wenjin suggested that Zhao Jinfu withdraw the obviously large number of Tongguanshan garrisons as soon as possible, not to wait for death on the mountain, and at the same time blow up all the copper mines in Tongguanshan, so as not to give the Wu army a chance to resume production quickly.
"Blow up all the caves in Tongguan Mountain?" Zhao Jinfu's expression was very strange, and he said, "Huang Chengxuan, remember that you have been to Tongling before?" What does the copper mine in Tongguan Mountain mean to us in the Kingdom of Heaven and the local people in Tongling, you should know? Are you willing to do it? β
"Tian'an, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to blow it up." Huang Wenjin said solemnly: "I know that the copper mine in Tongguan Mountain is very important, but the foreign guns and foreign cannons of the demon soldiers are too powerful, and the fortifications in the Tongguan Mountain camp can't even be carried for half a day in front of the demon soldiers' artillery fire, and Tongguan Mountain will definitely be occupied by the demon soldiers soon, rather than leaving those copper mines to the demon soldiers and letting them produce copper casting cannons to fight us, it is better to blow them up ruthlessly, so that the demon soldiers will not even find the ore veins!" β
Of course, Huang Wenjin's words are still right, but what Huang Wenjin doesn't know is that because of the scarcity of copper mines in Hubei and the scarcity of copper mines in Yunnan Province and the difficulty of transportation, the importance of copper mines in Tongling to Wu Jun is far beyond his imagination - nearly half of the copper ore used in the production of Wujun's Daye Industrial Base is actually produced in Tongling! If the Taiping Army can really blow up all the Tongling copper mines, then it is not impossible for the Wu Army to be forced to use copper money to purify and produce brass after a period of time! Because Wu Jun, whether it is producing machinery and equipment or guns and ammunition, must use copper, a metal that is more malleable than iron and easy to forge, and it is difficult to replace it with other metals.
Although the suggestion is correct, it is a pity that the copper ore produced by the Taiping Army's controlled land can be transported to Daye Industrial Base to be cast into a sharp weapon to kill the Taiping Army's soldiers is of course the most critical reason is that it is rich in profits and smuggling is rampant! As the biggest behind-the-scenes boss of copper smuggling, Zhao Jinfu will certainly never tolerate Huang Wenjin blowing up his money bag, so ......
"No! Our Heavenly Kingdom soldiers followed the Heavenly King and the Eastern King to raise troops to kill the Qing Demon, not to harm the people, but to save the people! None of the mines in Tongguan Mountain can be blown up, even if one is blown up, countless Tongling people will have no work to do! No food!
