Chapter 80: Ambitious Tiger and Wolf Heart
What do you mean by that? What does it mean to be big or small? Shi Xu, Minister of Military Aircraft and Minister of Internal Affairs, who was standing on the side, said that he and Yixuan were in a group, and when he learned that the Cao Gang was taken down by Wang Yongtai in one fell swoop and cut off a financial route for him, he had to kill Wang Yongtai. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But now it seems that this Wang Yongtai is alive, which is more beneficial than dead, at least Wang Yongtai just wants money, and without Wang Yongtai came to the revolutionary party, the revolutionary party is shouting "expelling the Tartars", it is a group of deadly people.
Xu Shichang said: "To put it mildly, in fact, these are just two rebellions, and the rebellion of the Guangzhou New Army is only partial, and now Yuan Shuxun has not asked for help, which shows that the Guangzhou rebellion is not a cause for concern." And this Yangzhou rebellion is a little confusing to me, if it weren't for the chaos of the party to finally pull up the banner, I don't know who this yin soldier is, co-authored by the chaos party is doing ghosts. But this is not a cause for concern, just let Wang Yongtai go back, as long as Wang Yongtai goes back, the new army will have the backbone, and as soon as the new army arrives, the chaotic party will naturally collapse without a fight. However, to put it mildly, the fact that these two rebellions occurred at the same time shows that the rebel party has begun a purposeful rebellion. But this time, it seems that the chaotic party has become a climate, and it should not be underestimated in the future. Judging from the fact that the leader of the Cao Gang joined the chaotic party, many people in the south could no longer let go of the imperial court, and at this time, Wang Yongtai, who had contributed to the Jiangshan Sheji, was transferred, which not only chilled the soldiers of the new army, but also gave the chaotic party an opportunity. And this Yangzhou exile is not trivial, if they really let them impact Nanjing, wouldn't it make the world laugh at our Qing Dynasty? The foreign envoys saw that the regent had not been in charge for a long time, and the whole city had fled, so how could they negotiate with them in the future? ”
Zaifeng kept nodding, although he didn't like Xu Shichang, but he had to admit that Xu Shichang was reasonable, so he said: "Xu Shangshu, what do you mean?" ”
Xu Shichang said: "The lower officials don't know if what they said is right or not, but after all, they are dedicated to the good of our Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou is too far away, so it is very simple to let Wang Yongtai return to Yangzhou immediately, in the name of ordering him to concurrently serve as the 24th Mixed Association Commander, rectify military discipline, and arrest the chaotic party." Doesn't he like to hunt down the rebels the most? Just let him catch it. ”
Zaifeng looked at the others, and the others also nodded yes, and said, "In this way, send a telegram to him, by the way, where has this Wang Yongtai gone?" ”
At this time, Wang Yongtai was slowly humming a little song in the Qinglou in Huai'an County, he didn't leave, just waiting for the holy decree of the imperial court, not that he had this confidence, but he felt that if the imperial court did not issue the holy decree, he would roll up the 200,000 taels of silver and take his subordinates away.
After waiting for a few days, the imperial court finally came to the holy decree, ordering Wang Yongtai to return to Yangzhou to reorganize the army and exterminate the rebellious party. Wang Yongtai laughed, waved his hand, and shouted: "Sons! Come back to Yangzhou with me! ”
Although there are only 200 people, but the momentum of this kill back is not less than half a point, the soldiers are full of energy, the spirit is vigorous, when they go north, they are grinding, when they go south, they are fighting bravely, if it is not for a dozen boats, I am afraid that they will run away.
In two days, they returned to Yangzhou, and Wang Yongan walked out of Nanzhuang with 300 soldiers to join Wang Yongtai's army after changing clothes.
Wang Yongtai didn't see Wang Yongan left and right, and saw Feng Heng leading the team, so he asked, "Where is the fourth child in my family?" ”
"The fourth prince said that there is more important work to be done." Feng Hengdao.
Wang Yongtai was puzzled: "What kind of work." ”
Feng Heng said: "He said to sweep the tail, but I don't know." ”
Wang Yongtai touched his chin and said to himself: "This fourth brother is getting more and more incomprehensible to me, just that." As soon as he turned around, he shouted, "Sons, it's time to show off your skills, go back to the barracks!" ”
As soon as he returned to Yangzhou City, Wang Yongtai first entered the barracks, cleaned up military discipline, and waited for him to come back in a neat and tidy manner. Wang Yongtai regained military power without much effort and convened a meeting of officers, but Zhang Jimin was missing, so he asked where the chief of staff was. Someone replied that the chief of staff had never come back after being snatched away by the imp that day, and some people said that they had seen him in Zhenjiang, and Wang Yongtai sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, adjutant." ”
"Yes." Li Yao replied.
"Send someone to the chief of staff and ask him to come back."
"Yes."
Wang Yongtai then said: "Next, we should go to the Salt Transportation Division to take a look, help the gang thicken, and don't let him be cut off by the chaotic party." But let's eat and drink well first, let's rest, and go to the rescue early tomorrow morning! The soldiers understood and went back to prepare silently.
At this time, Sun Tiansheng was lying on the bed of the Yangzhou prefect, holding two eight or nine-year-old naked girls on the left and right, his face hesitated, thinking in his heart whether he should go or not?
After being moved by Wang Yongan that day, Sun Tiansheng didn't expect it to be so easy, and asked a few good buddies who were also broken to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, and several people were moved by Sun Tiansheng's words, and then waited for the chaos to happen, but I didn't expect that there would really be chaos in a few days, but everyone saw the Yin soldiers and Yin generals and didn't want to stay. Sun Tiansheng found them at this time, saying that Yin Bing Yin would be borrowed by himself, and he only borrowed it for three days, and they had to leave after three days. Everyone didn't believe it, so they waited for three days, and sure enough, the Yin soldiers and generals would no longer come, so everyone believed what Sun Tiansheng said.
Sun Tiansheng said that we have to lie about the revolutionary party and throw the black pot to the revolutionary party, and we have to find a substitute for the dead ghost, and the substitute for the dead ghost is the prisoner in the surrounding county jails. Everyone felt that Sun Da Teapot suddenly became bold and smart, so they ran to the county government to save the prisoners, opened all the surrounding county prisons one after another, and finally opened the prison of the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture, and announced that the revolution was over, and Yangzhou was recovered.
At this time, the people in the Dingzi camp also felt that this was the case with the Manchu government because they were dissatisfied with the weakness of the pipe belt, so they came to vote after hearing that the revolutionary army had occupied the state capital Yamen. Sun Tiansheng didn't expect that he would suddenly make a big profit from speculation and become the rebel leader of Yangzhou City, and he suddenly became proud.
Sun Tiansheng didn't expect that there were thousands more people under his command at once, as the saying goes, the soldiers are boundless, Sun Tiansheng's mentality of wanting to grab a vote immediately changed dramatically, at this time he didn't just want to rob, but had greater ambitions. He knew that he didn't know how to command the march, so an officer named Wang Chaojin of the Dingzi Battalion led 300 men to attack Jiangdu County and occupy the surrounding areas, preparing to follow the example of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and completely turn the imperial court upside down.
"Lao Tzu can also be the emperor, Lao Tzu is the next Zhu Yuanzhang!" Sun Tiansheng had a sweet dream.
Although Wang Chaojin is not a famous general, after all, he has long been in the army and knows how to command and dispatch, he led 300 soldiers to Jiangdu County, and Jiangdu County should have been opened earlier, and the soldiers went directly into the county. The rebels entered the county seat and encountered a wave of weak resistance, especially when they arrived at the Jiangdu County Ya, the personal soldiers of the Jiangdu County Order fought back and killed and injured many rebels.
That Wang Chaojin was red-eyed, and immediately ordered his soldiers to kill him through the back door, and the soldiers were also red-eyed, not only killing the county order family of Jiangdu County, but also taking captivity in Jiangdu County. Fortunately, most of the people in the Yangzhou area fled first, and they hid one after another because of the rebellion, and the losses caused were not large.
Sun Tiansheng got the good news, won the first battle, and suddenly felt that he was the Ming monarch and the lord, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang in the drama was just a beggar, and the Qing Taizu Nurhachi started with only thirteen pairs of armor, and he had thousands of "elite soldiers and strong generals" under his command.
thought of being the emperor, then there must be a concubine and queen, and now he is still a bachelor, so Sun Tiansheng ordered a "draft" to select a fourteen-year-old girl for himself to choose a concubine. Wang Chaojin led the army back, Sun Tiansheng rewarded the whole army with 3,000 taels of silver, and ordered him to attack the Yamen of the Salt Transport Division. At the same time, several of Sun Tiansheng's old brothers led people to loot everywhere, especially those salt traders who came to Yangzhou from all over the country, and they became the targets of their plunder, and looted nearly 100,000 taels of silver in a few days.
And Wang Chaojin's attack on the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division was also quite unfavorable, and the Salt Transportation Division put nearly 100,000 taels of salt tax in the treasury, if this money was lost, not only would the thickening have to lose their heads, but the soldiers stationed in the garrison would also lose their heads. In the face of the question of whether they would die or someone else's death, whether it was a Han soldier or a banner official in the Yamen of the Yanyun Division, they all adhered to the principle of never losing their money and their heads, and resolutely kept the rebels out.
After two days of gun-to-gun fighting between the rebels and the guards of the Salt Transport Division, Wang Yongtai led his army back and occupied the new barracks in one fell swoop.
"What to do? What to do? What should I do? At this time, Sun Tiansheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and suddenly he thought of the fourth son's clever plan, and quickly opened it, he didn't know how to read, so he asked the girl on the side, and said, "You show me, what is written on it?" ”
The girl is the daughter of Jiangdu County Ling, only thirteen years old this year, she can see that she is a beautiful embryo, she doesn't want to be so young and suffered, she doesn't know that her whole family has been killed, she thinks that as long as she serves the evil god in front of her, her parents will be safe, and hurriedly said: "There are sixteen words on the note: insatiable, you will die, and you will be a hero if you retreat bravely." ”
"What do you mean?" Sun Tiansheng asked.
The girl pretended not to understand, and hurriedly said: "The slave family doesn't know what it means, the slave family just knows a few words." ”
