Chapter 195 Who is so brave

"Bastard! Yang Dongfang, this big demon! I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Hongzhang was angry with the bull in Huai'an, his lungs were about to explode, and he was so troubled by Yang Dongfang, more than 1,000 people died, more than 2,000 people were injured, and more importantly, he was disgraced.

The heavy troops were all attacked by Yang Dongfang, and they took advantage of the chaos to fight the north and the south, and now he and his staff finally realized Yixun's helplessness and Tongzhi's sorrow.

"My lord! It seems that the emperor's countermeasures are right, and we need to learn and apply them. Li Hongzhang's senior staff officer Wang Kaitai proposed that Li Hongzhang disdained to do this before, thinking that he had the appearance of a nobleman and was not so easy to die. ”

A clever person has more than one plan! Li Hongzhang immediately arranged for someone to find a few similar-shaped stand-ins for the next day. At the same time, it quickly mobilized troops to besiege Xuzhou, instead of going south to relieve the danger of Yangzhou.

After such a fuss tonight, he finally understood that Yang Dongfang's target was not him but his teacher Zeng Guofan, and at the same time he was a little angry, feeling that he was being despised and ignored, and his hatred for Yang Dongfang was gathering more and more.

He had already eaten deflated in Yang Dongfang's hands several times.

Li Hongzhang transferred most of the soldiers and horses in the rear of Huainan to the north, and was interspersed by Yang Dongzhu like this, Baoying and Gaoyou were empty, and they broke one after another, and directly attacked outside Yangzhou City.

Guarding Yangzhou was Guo Songlin, a famous general of the Huai Army, who commanded the 20,000-strong new army Wu Yi Army, and Yi Xun promoted him to the newly established Yangzhou general.

Yang Dongfang did not come to Yangzhou to attack the city, but built a simple altar by the Yangtze River, put sacrifices, and then took out the sacrificial text written by Zeng Shihe and others in Xichuan to commemorate the 800,000 soldiers and civilians who died in Yangzhou on the 10th.

Especially pay homage to Shi Kefa, a famous general who did not resist the Qing Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty.

"What is Yang Dongfang doing by the Yangtze River?"

Yang Dongfang suddenly killed Yangzhou, causing an uproar in the south of the Yangtze River, like a ten-magnitude earthquake, which was highly valued by both sides of the Yangtze River and the Huai Army and the Hunan Army.

They didn't expect that Yang Dongfang's first action would be to mourn Shi Kefa and pay tribute to the 800,000 soldiers and civilians who died in the 10-day massacre in Yangzhou, instead of taking the opportunity to attack the city and plunder the land.

During the Qing Dynasty, when literary prisons were prevalent, all accounts of the Yangzhou massacre were deliberately concealed after the Qing army entered the Han Dynasty, resulting in the majority of people being ignorant of the massacre until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

It was not until the eve of the Xinhai Revolution that banned books such as "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou" were brought back to China from overseas, "hoping to revive the forgotten old hatred and help the revolution succeed", and the Yangzhou Ten Days became widely known to the world.

Therefore, most of the people in Jiangnan are not very aware of this matter, and Yang Dongfang, as a descendant, can naturally be said to have a clear eye on this matter.

The specific content of the banned book naturally shook out, and people knew how the Manchu Qing Dynasty killed 800,000 people back then, and there were many traitors involved, otherwise Jiangnan would not have been lost so quickly.

The sensitive word traitor is easy for people to enter the number, and the implication is too obvious.

Hearing that Yang Dongfang arrived in Yangzhou, Peng Yulin came cruising with the Yangtze River sailors and ran rampant on the river to prevent the New People's Army from crossing the river.

vowed to block the New People's Army on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and did not dare to be careless.

"Yes! The French battleship finally arrived in Shanghai, which is cheap for you, Zeng shaved his head, and Ben Shuai first overturned the Gallic chicken. As early as receiving news from Hong Kong, Yang Dongfang asked the person in charge of the Shanghai station to monitor the French Concession in Shanghai and the mouth of the Yangtze River and the Huangpu River day and night.

Sure enough, he received the news of the arrival of the French warships, and they were the first two battleships to depart from Hong Kong, so Yang Dongfang flew to Zhenjiang on the other side of the Yangtze River with his people.

He came to Zhenjiang last year, so he naturally flew directly to the coordinate point.

Now guarding Zhenjiang is Feng Zicai's subordinates, he originally had 3,000 generals, because the Taiping army lost Nanjing and other places, he occupied Danyang County, and followed the expansion of the Hunan army, he naturally had 5,000 people, in charge of Zhenjiang and Danyang County, is an independent commander, a party member.

Because it is not a drop system, secretly this Feng Zicai is not valued by Zeng Guofan, only because of the important location of Zhenjiang, he was promoted and rewarded as a high-ranking official.

Feng Zicai was quite cautious in his work, carefully observing the situation on the north bank, doing a good job of river defense, and placing his troops in front of the river, guarding day and night to prevent Yang Dongfang from crossing the river by boat.

"My lord, we seem to be too careful, it's enough for Peng Yulin to patrol the Yangtze River, and Yang Dongfang will take out something to cross the river." Feng Zicai's deputy Yang Ruishan said. Feng Zicai shook his head: "It's not a big mistake to be careful, don't be careless, there are so many rivers in Jianghuai, which one do you see blocking Yang Dongfang, doesn't he have boats to cross the river to fight?" ”

Feng Zicai observed quite carefully, and analyzed that Yang Dongfang had a boat to cross the rivers of Lianghuai, in the Jiangnan where the rivers were densely packed and crisscrossed, how could Yang Dongfang, who had no boat, come over so quickly in the Jiangnan where he was unfamiliar with his life.

At this time, the deputy general Yang Ruishan fell into deep thought, and Feng Zicai made sense.

However, even if Feng Zicai could analyze it thoroughly, he couldn't guess how Yang Dongfang really did it, Yang Dongfang used two crossings in the middle of the night, and then brought the cavalry regiment from Yangzhou. (Horses are also counted as one person, so it takes twice, and will not be explained later.) ）

Leng Buding killed a cavalry from behind, and in the middle of the night, Zhenjiang immediately fell into a sea of fire, gunfire erupted, and the New People's Army entered Zhenjiang from Feng Zicai's back.

"My lord, it's not good, our back has been attacked by unknown forces, and we have suffered heavy losses."

"What! What are they? Feng Zicai approved the official robe, and hurriedly beckoned the people who were still in the city to prepare to counterattack, and once thought that it was the scattered troops of the Taiping Army who took the opportunity to attack, but Yang Ruishan ran over from the other side of the street in embarrassment: "Adults, go quickly, the anti-thief musket is sharp, and our army can't stop it." ”

"Who is so brave that you can scare Jinping like this." Feng Zicai is a bit bloody, people don't admit defeat, I heard that the attacker is very strong, and the bull's nose temper comes up, and he really wants to compete.

Kicking the rudeness, Yang Ruishan only said: "Don't be careless, the thieves are not only all Western muskets, but also cavalry." ”

Feng Zicai's eyes widened and he didn't believe it at all, so as he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves and gunshots came from far and near, and teams of killing gods came along the street.

Feng Zicai saw his subordinates being cut to the ground one by one, or being shot and wailing, and the soldiers who had worked hard for several years crawled and fled and hid in narrow street corners.
