"Damn, what are you still stunned about, hurry up and run!"

Ni Sichong is not stupid, he knows that now is not the time to be a hero, the group of soldiers under his command are all patrol battalions temporarily transferred from Henan, and it is okay to fight a dozen militias, but in the face of the regular army of the Jiangbei Army, there is no morale at once. Ni Sichong was surprised when he got the news www.biquge.info of the defeat of the Qing army's second road in Xuzhou at the same time, and thought that Jin Yunpeng's 100,000 troops were defeated by Jiangbei Yankees, and his less than 7,000 men and horses were not enough for people to stuff their teeth, so run quickly.

So, Ni Si rushed to the treasure and women that he had stolen, and ran towards the river with the army.

However, Liu Hui did not give them this opportunity, he had long expected that Ni Sichong would choose to abandon the city and flee, so he sent a large army to ambush Ni Sichong's escape route, and a small force attacked the city, and soon Ni Sichong's troops abandoned the city and fled.

Soon after, the Shilu River patrol battalion led by Ni Sichong plunged into the ambush circle, Liu Hui laughed, and then ordered Ni Sichong's troops to be surrounded and annihilated, and no one was allowed to be let go.

Because of the hurry, Ni Sichong's department did not connect well with the front and back, and was divided into four sections of resistance. And because the front and rear could not communicate with each other, the various units could only break through on their own.

Ni Sichong knew that what he did in Yingzhou was really angry and resentful, especially the massacre of the people of Yingzhou, which was as vicious as the massacre of the Han people during the rebellion, he was afraid that he would be retaliated against, so he immediately changed into ordinary people's clothes, disguised as the cook of Henan who was captured by the Qing army in the army, and broke through with the army. Not to mention, Ni Sichong shaved his beard, changed into people's clothes, and then spoke a northern Henan dialect, living the image of a fat chef in Henan, and even his own people didn't realize that this person was actually their handsome.

Without Ni Sichong's command, the various units were even more chaotic, some troops broke out, but more people were killed and trapped in the ambush circle.

The battle lasted for a day and a night, and at dawn, more than 5,000 people from the Qing army raised a white flag and announced their surrender, and after the war, the Qing army was killed and wounded more than 700 people, more than 3,800 people were captured, and more than 500 people fled or disappeared while the chaos was missing. Ni Sichong, disguised as a cook, was also captured, but because his current status was not a soldier, he was not assigned to a prisoner of war camp, but was sent to a civilian house to be responsible for collecting the corpses on the ground. Seeing this, Ni Sichong wanted to escape, but found that his opponent was closely monitoring them, and he could only find another opportunity.

Because of the massacre of the Qing army in Yingzhou and Mengcheng, Liu Hui, who had always had a very good temper, was also annoyed and angry, so he ordered the prisoners to be filtered, but all the prisoners of war who slaughtered the people for the most heinous crimes were killed, and those who did not directly slaughter the people but indirectly killed the people were also punished.

Ni Sichong, the "fat chef" of Henan, behaved well, and everyone relaxed their vigilance against him, so one night, Ni Sichong stole a horse with the help of his henchmen, and fled south on horseback overnight.

After Yuan Shikai scolded him, he asked him to come back quickly, after all, no matter how morally corrupt his little brother was, he was loyal to himself, Yuan Shikai, who watched him grow up since he was a child, relented to Ni Sichong, and just removed him from his post, but did not punish him further.

Ni Sichong's Qing army was corrupted, and the people of Yingzhou could hardly escape their poisonous hands, especially the Yingzhou women who were in their fifties and frightened girls who were less than ten years old. Two days ago, the people still had a breath of revenge in the dire situation, but this time when they were arrested, Huaishang General Liu Hui wanted to avenge them, and some women cried one after another, and soon chose to hang themselves because of the loss of virginity.

After Liu Hui learned about this, he was even more emotional, he hurt these women, they lived because of hatred, and he avenged them, but let them hold back the breath in their hearts, but instead prompted them to commit suicide and martyrdom.

"My day your grandma, I won't kill you, Lao Tzu is not surnamed Liu!" Liu Hui found out the eight hundred heinous people from the prisoners of war and prepared to be executed, but fortunately, Xiahou Zhang hurriedly stopped him and told him that such an important matter you must report to Yunshuai Wang Yongan, otherwise someone will give you small shoes in the future. Xiahou Zhang is usually confused, but he is far more calm and intelligent than Liu Hui in this matter, Liu Hui calmed down and was afraid for a while, if he killed these 800 prisoners of war without authorization, he was afraid that his political life would end, so he sent a telegram to the Yangzhou base camp and asked Wang Yongan how to deal with these 800 Qing prisoners of war who committed the most heinous crimes, and whether to immediately execute these scum in the army who slaughtered the people.

After Wang Yongan took the telegram, he first ate a pound, and then he was furious, and the officers who bullied the people were even inferior to the bandits! Wang Yongan immediately telegraphed Liu Hui and replied: "The two armies fought and won by strength, and it was really heinous to raise their reputation by slaughtering the people. Therefore, those who slaughter the people of Jiangbei will be killed without forgiveness, and they will be decided! ”

This murder of prisoners caused a thousand waves with one stone, attracting not only the attention of the whole country, but even the eyes of the whole world, after all, it was the first time that more than 800 prisoners of war were executed at one time. In addition to the time of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, when the Qing army and the Taiping army fought each other to the death, it was the northwest Hui rebellion that slaughtered millions of Han people, which led the Hunan army into the northwest to kill the Hui Zhuang, in addition, there was no precedent for slaughtering the other party's prisoners of war, especially the officers of the Beiyang department, who were all students or teachers who graduated from several schools in Beiyang, where would they be so ruthless.

As a result, telegrams were sent across the country, some pleading, some inquiring, and more to persuade Wang Yongan not to kill prisoners, killing prisoners is ominous.

But this did not stop Wang Yongan's determination, he was not unable to forgive these 800 people, but he wanted to give the soldiers of the whole world an attitude, and the two armies would fight, but you couldn't harm my people! The defeat of the warlord is still forgivable, but the defeat of the army and the slaughter of the people is absolutely unforgivable.

Yuan Shikai held the telegram, his hands trembled, he looked at the contents of the telegram blankly, and sighed: "Thief, what a ruthless heart." ”

Zhang Yilu smiled bitterly: "I really can't see that the fourth young master of the Wang family, who was in the fat powder pile in the past, is actually such a decisive person. ”

Xu Shichang said: "But after killing 800 soldiers of the patrol battalion, he will have to rest with Beiyang to the death in the future, he doesn't plan to mix in the country, and the killing of prisoners is really a political stain, Wang Jingyun played a bad move." ”

Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly: "It's not that he played a bad move, but that he is demonstrating to us to show his determination to resist to the end." However, the massacre of prisoners of war made his reputation abroad ......", he shook his head and said: "Wang Jingyun is in a mess, no matter what, it saves us a lot of trouble. My son-in-law, it's a pity...... You can't use it for me! ”
