Three days ago, before Wang Xifeng launched the battle of Xiamen, he sent Wang Guilin, Lu Yongxiang and other people to the coast of Quanzhou, which was originally China's largest port, after Zhu Ming closed the country, the official port here gradually declined, but the hundred-legged insects died but not stiff, and the good geographical environment made it quickly become a secret base for smuggling gangs. There is no way to live, they are even more desperate, pretending to be the Dongying Wokou everywhere catastrophe, who knows that this trial really made a fortune, this murder and goods have no core competitiveness, so the southeast coastal group that loves cottages responded, and this good day did not take long. was killed by Qi Jiguang, this is not counted, those who survived gradually became degenerates, the Manchu Qing Dynasty pulled out the lowly into the good, these people from the sea into the army became good people, there is a chance to be born, so the Manchu navy has almost become the world of the Fujian people, watching those who play with their bare cheeks become the heroes of the navy, full of foreign naval officers and soldiers, those who have not been elected under the eyes of the degenerate, the idea of changing their own destiny is even stronger, the revolutionary heresy is in full swing, after the Wuhan civil unrest, It has almost become a city of revolution and turmoil, and if it is not satisfied, it will be armed and tossed, and the people here will be highly conscious, according to Marx, and the despise and poverty will be left behind, and the whole world will be gained. According to the locals, this is a poor mountain and bad water out of the people, according to Chang Zhenbang, it is a million elite soldiers hidden in it, as long as the food and salary are complete, it is a merit.

Long before Wang Guilin landed in Fujian, he was told by Chang Zhenbang that there would be a big battle to be fought in Xiamen, and smart people didn't talk much, Lu Yongxiang and Wang Guilin knew what was going on, and immediately the two met and formulated a plan to help Chang Zhenbang win the battle of Xiamen, and then seize the nearby state capital, take Fuzhou City, and force Chang Zhenbang to admit their rule over Fujian with a de facto occupation, so this Wang Guilin caught up with Daiyun Mountain overnight, and the nearby state capitals thought that they were supporting Xiamen's Protector Army and didn't care much.

This Daiyun Mountain is located in the north of Quanzhou, it is the only place for the Sanming region to enter Quanzhou and Xiamen, the mountains are not majestic but the mountains are undulating, there are many dense forests, as long as they are handled properly, there is no problem in harboring a brigade, so Wang Guilin's department is recuperating on Daiyun Mountain for two days, the local government is unconscious, and the scouts sent by Xu Chongzhi everywhere are not aware of it, but this does not mean that Wang Guilin's department is not aware of it, he immediately sent a few scouts to dress up as local villagers, and tossed Xu Chongzhi's department twice. finally figured out the bottom of the other party, so this is like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Wang Guilin's department has been recuperating for a long time, morale is high, everyone is moving forward, almost like a flood rushed over, the sound of killing shook the sky, Xu Chongzhi arranged the fortifications in advance almost without resistance was broken by Wang Guilin's department one by one, killing all sides, seeing that it was about to attack the Chinese army's big tent, then heard the sound of a tsunami in the surrounding mountains, countless Fujian Protector troops surrounded from the mountains and forests in all directions, while attacking, while shouting loudly: "Little thief, you have fallen for the clever plan of the commander-in-chief of my family, Don't wait until you get caught! Wang Guilin saw that there were enemies all around, and suddenly panicked, so that he quickly fell down, Wang Guilin had no choice but to order to retreat, after the Fujian Protector Army rushed to kill for a while, also beat the drum and collected the troops, Wang Guilin was busy while appeasing the soldiers, while counting the soldiers and horses, and there were not many casualties, immediately ordered to retreat to the depths of Daiyun Mountain.

After Xu Chongzhi woke up, after understanding the situation a little, he asked people to bring the captives over, and said: "You tell the truth, after you have a full meal, you will be given the money to go home, if you don't tell the truth, you will be dragged out and killed immediately!" Xu Chongzhi learned that it was Wang Guilin who fought last night, and couldn't help but be surprised, and then learned from the captive that Lu Yongxiang had arrived in Fujian, and immediately his face became extremely ugly, he immediately summoned the adjutant and asked him to go to the nearby county town to send the telegram to the metropolitan governor Zang Zhiping, after Zang Zhiping received the telegram, he immediately summoned the head of the Fujian branch and said: "Mr. Zhao Wuneng, Fujian is now facing the most dangerous situation, Master Chang brought Lu Yongxiang and Wang Guilin's soldiers from Shanghai, and I will take the new Second Division to Xiamen in person, and Fuzhou will ask you. Zhao Wuneng, the head of the Fujian branch, smiled and said: "You are the governor of the Fujian Protector Military Government and the marshal of the Kunming Protector Army, this identity, this military might, even the traitor Chang Zhenbang can't compare to you, then Lu Yongxiang is just a remnant of the defeated army, naturally he will succeed and win, as for this Fuzhou City, you will hand it over to our comrades!" Millions of people in the city of Fuzhou, tens of millions of soldiers under the revolutionary banner, and no one was invincible in the bloody defense of the city, which called the world peaceful. ”

Zang Zhiping said: "Mr. Zhao Wuneng, I don't dare to agree with your poems, I just hope you can guard Fuzhou." ”

Zhao Wuneng said: "100,000 young people and 100,000 soldiers, except for the very Zhenbang who dares to kill everyone in Fuzhou City, otherwise he will not want to take a step into Fuzhou City." ”

Zang Zhiping saw that he was full of confidence, but he was vaguely uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly advised: "If you can't do anything, you might as well let the city go, Chang Zhenbang is also a person who loves the people." ”

Zhao Wuneng said: "This is wrong, the revolutionary masses have the spirit of dedication to the revolution, and they are not afraid of death!" ”

Zang Zhiping felt that something was wrong and said: "The people are the foundation of this country, and loving the people and protecting the people is the right way for the government." Even if revolutionaries are not afraid of sacrifice, they cannot sacrifice in vain. ”

Zhao Wuneng said disapprovingly: "These love the people like a son don't need to be said by the governor, I also know that now in an eventful autumn, the so-called big line does not care about the details, and the big gifts are not resigned, as long as we hold the city of Fuzhou, the nation will have hope, if it is really not possible, I will keep the seeds of the revolution for another day." ”

Zang Zhiping sighed, in Guangzhou, in Nanchang, he certainly wouldn't think it was true, but Zhao Wuneng's words didn't know that in order to make him suddenly remember this kind of thing, he couldn't help but shake his head, turned around and left, there was a mixed brigade guarding the city. Coupled with Zhao Wuneng, these people can probably survive until they are victorious or come back from a rout.

At the same time, Shen Hongying's department in Ninghua also received a telegram and hurried to Datian, and the Zhao army stationed in Datian also received a telegram and quickly went south to fight with Xu Chongzhi outside Xiamen, and fought with Wang Xifeng's troops and outside Xiamen for a long time. The Zhao army beat the drum and marched until Changtai, but was killed by Chang Zhenbang's guards brigade from the side, Wang Xifeng's troops took the opportunity to counterattack, and the Zhao army was defeated and retreated outside Xiamen. Chang Zhenbang marched eastward, and after recovering the lost position of Wang Xifeng's troops, he built fortifications and confronted Xu Chongzhi's troops and Li Yaohan's army outside Xiamen.

The support of Xu Chongzhi and others greatly relieved the pressure inside and outside Xiamen, and Yangshuzhuang immediately held a grand welcome ceremony and sent fine wine and food to Zhaojun and Xu Chongzhi's department.

Yang Shuzhuang said: "Thank you Commander-in-Chief Xu, Inspector Li has come thousands of miles to help, Shuzhuang is very pleased, and only on behalf of the naval officers and men in Xiamen City, I would like to thank you for saving your life!" Saying that, Yang Shuzhuang was about to kneel down and speak, Xu Chongzhi was quick with his hand, grabbed his arm and said: "Brother, can't do it, can't do it, never let it!" Lord Yang is too out-of-the-box. Li Yaohan also hurriedly said: "If Xiamen is safe, Fujian will be safe, and if Xiamen is lost, Fujian will die. Xu Chongzhi glanced at Li Yaohan with dissatisfaction, and said: "Whether it is the navy or the army, they are all protectors, and they are all family, how can there be a reason why their own brothers are in trouble and do not come to save their lives." Yang Shuzhuang said: "The navy will remember the grace of the two adults today, as long as there is the Xiamen navy." Fujian is Mr. Zhongshan's world! Long live Mr. Sun, long live Mr. Zhongshan, long live the Protector Army! ”

Li Yaohan and Xu Chongzhi also followed each other and raised their hands and shouted loudly: "Long live Mr. Sun, long live Mr. Zhongshan, long live the Protector Army!" ”

After shouting long live, Li Yaohan, Xu Chongzhi, and Yang Shuzhuang sat in the camp tent to discuss the future offensive and defensive battles, Li Yaohan preemptively said: "The rebellious Chang Zhenbang of the Republic of China is known as the patrol envoy of Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian, but its main force is only the Beiyang Sixth Division, the new Jiangxi first, second, third, and fourth divisions, and now the Beiyang Sixth Division follows Li Tingyu to guard Jiangxi, the third division is stationed in Jiujiang Lair, the first division is stationed in northern Guangdong to guard the road of Chang Zhenbang's retreat to Jiangxi, the second division is guarding Huizhou to defend Jiangxi, and the fourth division is entrenched in Nanchang, As for the other town guards, the division commander is just a vassal and ...... with him" When he said this, Li Yaohan's face couldn't help but turn red and said: "Just like before the brother protects the law, he is also a vassal of Chang Zhenbang, so he still knows the thoughts of these town guards very well, as long as we don't move their rights, they will not die begging for Chang Zhenbang to fight for the country." Therefore, there are not many soldiers and horses who followed Chang Zhenbang to attack Xiamen and Fujian this time. ”

Xu Chongzhi said: "What Li Dujun said is that although the Beiyang Sixth Division is the most powerful elite army in Chang Zhenbang's hands, after all, it is the Beiyang system and not his Chang Zhenbang's Jiangxi system, so after the accident in Fujian, Li Tingyu has the heart to stand on his own. So the third division of Jiangxi can't move, as for Wu Hongchang, Yue Zhaolin and others, they used to be Chang Zhenbang's colleagues, and now they have become his subordinates, and there is a free resentment in their hearts, if there is no Fujian Protector, maybe Chang Zhenbang can also mobilize these arrogant soldiers, but unfortunately the situation is unclear now, they are also happy to watch coldly on the edge of Jiangxi and Fujian, if we defeat Chang Zhenbang in Xiamen, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces will really give Chang Zhenbang a headache not to mention the collapse, on the contrary, these soldiers and horses will immediately drive towards Fujian, At that time, I am afraid that the people of Fujian will suffer from the disaster of overhang. ”

Yang Shuzhuang said: "As long as the siege of Xiamen is relieved, the navy is willing to help Commander-in-Chief Xu go south to Guangzhou and protect the law in Guangdong and Jiangxi!" ”

Li Yaohan couldn't help but snort coldly, picked up the wine and drank it, looking at Yangshuzhuang's flattering attitude of flattering Xu Chongzhi, he was very unhappy in his heart, although he is also an overseer now, but there is a marshal and a governor above, the commander-in-chief, and the position of the Fujian overseer is actually the third, it is better to be in Zhaoqing, the emperor is far away, and he is the king.

……

Less than fifty miles outside Xiamen, is the base camp of Chang Zhenbang's rebel army, Wang Xifeng, Wang Dewang, Zhao Laosi, Zhang Xiaoliu These people are surrounded by Chang Zhenbang's Chinese army tent to accompany Chang Zhenbang to talk, today there are more Xu Chongzhi's troops and Li Yaohan's Zhao army outside Xiamen, from the point of view of numbers, their own side is no longer advantageous, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, Xu and Li's two armies are not worse than themselves, and there is a navy in the city to help the war, this battle is really more difficult to fight the more I think about it, Wang Xifeng's mood can't help but be heavy, But Chang Zhenbang still laughed with Wang Dewang and others on the side like no one else, and Zhao Laosi was also drinking like no one else, such a calm and calm expression gave Wang Xifeng a confidence, but it was a pity that he was not a person who blindly believed in Chang Zhenbang, and when fear hit again, he couldn't help but ask: "My lord, the soldiers in Xiamen City are strong and strong, and the fish and turtles are complete, I don't know when the adults will catch it?" ”

Chang Zhenbang glanced at him and said, "Xifeng, you're a little anxious!" ”

Wang Xifeng said: "The art of war is cloudy: ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it twice, the enemy can divide it, and if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided, my lord, now the number of troops outside our city is small, if there are no reinforcements, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch this turtle." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "You want to ask when our reinforcements will arrive?" ”

Wang Xifeng nodded and said, "Jiangxi, Guangdong still has no signs of army mobilization, and I have not received a telegram of support from the patrol envoy Yamen......"

"There will be no support telegrams." Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "The reinforcements that should have arrived have arrived, and the rest will wait for the last turtle to take the bait." ”

"What!" Wang Xifeng was taken aback and said.

Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said confidently: "The show has kicked off, and the net will be closed in two or three days, Xifeng, you will perform well, and afterwards, you will be the Fujian Protector." ”

"Thank you, Lord for your support! I'm afraid that the little man will not be able to catch it! Wang Xifeng said with a wry smile: "The villain just wants to win this battle well and take off the hat of a defeated general." ”

He didn't have such extravagant hopes, although he was a Jiujiang faction, but his record has always been unsatisfactory, Huizhou City was defeated, how can he get such a record as the defeat of Xiamen, how dare he be cheeky and be a military envoy? As long as Chang Zhenbang doesn't blame afterwards, he will be satisfied if he is still a town guard, but even so, I'm afraid there will be irrelevant gossip! Hey, thinking of this, he talked softly, his luck was too bad, the adults gave him two opportunities to make meritorious contributions, but unfortunately they were all lost by themselves.

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, there have been no people who have won a hundred battles since ancient times, Xifeng I value you very much, you also have to look down on yourself, I can tell you very responsibly, our army will win this battle, not only can you take off the hat of a defeated general on your head, but you can even go down in history!" ”

Wang Xifeng said with a wry smile: "My lord, you have praised it falsely, and you must make all the preparations for your humble position!" ”

……

The two fleets outside Xiamen City are like two steel dragons with long teeth and five claws, from the sky, every move between the two fleets seems to be extremely shrunk like a huge monster facing a mirror, the only difference may be that the flag on the north fleet has two more words on it, these two words are like a stain on the mirror, after wiping it off, it is no different.

Sa Zhenbing stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the fleet to the north, and said to the adjutant beside him: "Flag language, say that I want to talk to Lin Baoyi." ”

The adjutant glanced at the rather majestic Sa Zhenbing and said, "My lord, the frequency of telegrams between friends and enemies knows each other, and the telegrams are faster!" ”

Sa Zhenbing said lightly: "I know, you go and play the flag!" The flag language is the language of our navy boys. ”

The adjutant immediately ordered the shippers to stand on the mast and issued the flag at Sa Zhenbing's request.

After Lin Baoyi on the Haiqi ship received the flag, he was silent for a while and said, "Flag language, say I agree to the conversation!" ”

At this time, the commander of the revolutionary party naval fleet branch standing beside him said with some dissatisfaction: "What is there to talk about that old thing of Sa Zhenbing, he will fight if he wants to fight, and he will surrender if he wants to surrender, our Haiqi ships are strong and artillery, and the four seas are invincible, how can we be afraid of him!" ”

Lin Baoyi glanced at him coldly and said, "Twenty or thirty years ago, the Beiyang Naval Division, which had strong ships and sharp guns, was not defeated. ”

The commander of the fleet branch said: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty was brutal and incompetent, and used millions of stupid and greedy Manchurians to hold my 40,000 Han compatriots hostage against the civilized and open friends of Dongying, in a vain attempt to vassalize Korea. Only when Mr. Sun goes up can China become rich and strong. The captain of the fleet said proudly, and when he finished speaking, he realized that almost all the officers and men of the fleet were staring at him with red eyes and viciousness, as if they had fallen into the sheep cubs of a wolf dog. This is by no means a good phenomenon, and I can't help but think of what Mr. Nakayama told him when he came, that the admirals are not credible, and that the 400,000 oceans can be bought, and that the only way to seize the opportunity to replace these admirals with those resolute revolutionary supporters of Mr. Nakayama is the best solution.

Lin Baoyi said coldly: "It is the pride of our navy that the Beiyang Navy Division died fighting for the country, and the Dongying people are by no means good birds, Mr. Sun likes to be called Dongying people in order to please the Dongying people, I don't care about this, but since you are above my naval fleet, pay attention to your own words and deeds for Lao Tzu!" After speaking, Lin Baoyi asked people to sail to the agreed place.
