Chapter 0123 - Slap in the face
"Marshal, it seems that we have to be prisoners!" Yuan Shikai, who was running, suddenly saw nearly two hundred people in colorful clothes standing on the small hill a hundred meters in front of him, with guns in their hands, aiming at his own party, and those people were obviously not from his side.

"Weiting, you surrender to them, the old man must be loyal to the Queen Mother!" Nie Shicheng looked at the situation around him, suddenly drew his long sword, and was about to kill himself.
"Dashuai, I can't help it!" Yuan Shikai hurriedly saved, but his movements were half a beat slower after all.
Just when Nie Shicheng's long sword was about to cut his neck, he only heard "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the sword in Nie Shicheng's hand suddenly split into two parts.
In the distance, the rifle of the heroic sergeant seemed to emit a cloud of smoke, and the sergeant himself looked at them with a smile. Smile? Smile indeed! It's just the hunter's smile when he sees his prey.
"Everyone, lay down your arms, I guarantee the safety of your lives and property!" The sergeant on the other side said with a smile.
"Are you Xu Lie?" Nie Shicheng didn't die, and suddenly felt that it was good to be alive, so he cheered up and asked the other party. He is the leader of this situation, and he has to preside over it.
"I am indeed Xu Lie, presumably Your Excellency is Master Nie Shicheng Nie, right?" Xu Lie continued to say with a smile.
"The old man is, if you want to kill or kill you, you can do whatever you want, but the old man's soldiers, please spare their lives!" It's over, the "heroes" are all out, and Nie Shicheng sees Xu Lie as a character in the rivers and lakes.
"Hehe, Lord Nie, since ancient times, the people in the court have been self-righteous and want to kill or chop? Why should I kill you and chop you? I'm just going to talk to a few of you, and as for these soldiers, how can I possibly kill them? Don't you know that most of my subordinates are court soldiers anyway? These captives, as long as they don't smoke a lot, are in good health, and don't have the blood of the people on their hands, are all my soldiers! ”
For his own purpose, Xu Lie did not hide it at all. He is a Yang conspiracy, as long as the soldiers of the Qing army know Xu Lie's proposition, when they encounter the imperial army in the future, they will not see the wind and fall down.
"What do you want to talk to the old man?" Xu Lie's words were really beyond Nie Shicheng's expectations. I haven't met such an opponent, and if I have defeated, I have to talk to the general of the defeated army.
"Hehe, this is Lord Yuan." Xu Lie didn't care about Nie Shicheng for the time being, but asked about the people around Nie Shicheng. If Xu Lie has no impression of Nie Shicheng's "image", then his impression of the future President Yuan Da is very strong, at this time, Yuan Shikai happens to be a standard middle-aged man, and he looks much more capable than when he was president.
"The contemptible person is Yuan Shikai." When Yuan Shikai saw Xu Lie asking him, he could only reply. In fact, when Xu Lie and his party blocked their way, he was observing Xu Lie and his sergeants, at this time, although only a few minutes had passed, the surrounding Mengshan army was gradually surrounded, obviously, this situation indicated that the tens of thousands of troops of the imperial court had been basically wiped out.
"Lord Yuan uses Western law to train a new army, and he is actually a minister of the imperial court! It's just that even if Lord Yuan has the power to return to heaven, it will be difficult to save a corrupt dynasty! ”
"Bold, the government is also something that you and other bandits can discuss?" Nie Shicheng saw that Xu Lie was talking about the imperial court, and immediately reprimanded.
"Hehe, Lord Nie, I don't argue with you, when a regime bends its knees when it sees foreigners, and wantonly suppresses and exploits the people, such a regime, do you still want me and other small people to obey? Take it down—"
"Report to the commander, the second regiment and the third battalion have captured Dong Fuxiang, the commander of the Gan army!" At this moment, a war horse galloped over and said loudly as Xu Lie faced a stop.
"Okay, clean up the battlefield quickly! I'm going to do business with the imperial court, hahaha......" Xu Lie laughed on the hillside.
……
Three days later, the Mengshan army escorted more than 20,000 prisoners, including Nie Shicheng, Dong Fuxiang, and Yuan Shikai, back to Mengyin.
In this battle, the 45,000 people with the most combat effectiveness of the Qing army were killed by the Mengshan army, more than 10,000 people were killed by the Mengshan army, and about 10,000 people were scattered on the battlefield, and the rest became prisoners of the Mengshan army. As for the green battalion of the Qing army that was killed in the internal and external operations, the Mengshan army did not take it seriously at all.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after this battle, the imperial court will no longer have any soldiers to fight! Our army will also usher in a period of peaceful development for at least one year! At the post-war summary meeting, Xu Lie set a tone for the current situation!
"However, if the court does not come to beat us, it does not mean that we can hide in Mengyin and sleep peacefully. From the beginning of the calf village, you know my ideals, you know the development ideas of the Mengshan Army, so, in the next time, not only can we not relax, but we must be full of a sense of crisis at any time, and we must strengthen our work in all aspects! ”
"The most urgent thing is to get rid of the captives! As with the previous strategy, soldiers who are healthy and do not have vices such as smoking should stay as soldiers of the Mengshan Army, which was the same before, and there is no change; It was a new policy to hand over to the road construction team as free labor for captives with various vices, and henceforth we will mainly take this punishment of forced labor for prisoners with vices and blood debts, and we will use the rest of their lives to atone for the sins committed by others!
The third article is aimed at Nie Shicheng, Yuan Shikai and other court officials, including the previous governor of Shandong, we have already caught a group of people, this group of people, we just let them go, definitely not, but if they are kept all the time, I don't think it is necessary, therefore, as far as this group of people is concerned, I am ready to do a business with the imperial court, that is, let the imperial court take a sum of money to redeem them. Now let's discuss, Nie Shicheng, Dong Fuxiang, Yuan Shikai, Wang Rumei and other four people and a total of 20 Qing court officials, how much is the right amount to sell? ”
"Million!"
"Three million!"
"Ten million!"
Speaking of which, the subordinates were noisy and shouting, and none of them were sure. And the chief of staff Yuan Yong and a few other people with civilian backgrounds can't help but smile when they see this situation. In their opinion, the officers of the Mengshan Army really need to be tempered.
However, Xu Lie has the knowledge of the original time and space, so that he doesn't think it's good for these people to be noisy, which shows that the initiative of these subordinates is still relatively strong, as long as they are well guided, these guys will slowly become talents after all. In this operation, on the whole, the officer's performance was better than the ambush battle in the Pig Waist Valley last time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let the court ransom people, and how much money is sold is secondary; The most important thing is to slap the court in the face! If the court does not give money, it will chill the officials under it; If the court gives money, it will be even more shameless, because this has set a historical precedent, and the dignified Qing court can't deal with the Mengyin Mountain bandits, and has to use the money to redeem their ministers! Xu Lie waited for everyone to shout for a while, and finally said the purpose of doing this.
