When Xiao Mubai's good news reached the hands of the Platinum Pillar who was in the hands of the Enlightened Platinum Pillar, it was already that night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info held the good news in his hand, and Bai Jinzhu did not laugh heartily because of this, but frowned tightly.

What's going on? In just one day, the rebel party that defeated hundreds of people with only dozens of casualties was defeated, when did the defense battalion be able to fight so well? The chaotic party is not easy to fight, this can be seen from the Qing army that keeps retreating along the way, but this Xiao Mubai not only won, but also won extremely beautifully, when did the combat power of the Guangnan Mansion defense battalion become stronger? You must know that this is still after Xiao Mubai knew the danger of being sharp, and he deliberately exaggerated the casualties several times, otherwise he really didn't know what kind of mood it would be after letting Bai Baizhu know the real casualty data.

That's right, at this time, Bai Baizhu was a little skeptical about the authenticity of the good news. You must know that at this time, no one knows better than him, the general soldier, what is the combat strength of the Qing army in Yunnan, and the current Qing army is no longer the Qing army at the time of the Sino-French War more than 20 years ago. Not to mention the low combat effectiveness, internal corruption is rampant, like eating empty salaries, it is no longer strange to be poor, and beggars are not as good.

Thinking of this, Bai Jinzhu sighed deeply. If this is true, it is good to say that under the current situation and the continuous retreat of the imperial army, it must be a great achievement to be able to achieve such a result. Although it is the record achieved by Xiao Mubai's department, after all, it is also under his own leadership, and as a boss, he can also share some credit! But if you lie about the military situation, then you and Xiao Mubai will have to peel off their skins, Xiao Mubai doesn't care if he dies, the key is himself, you must know that since Xiliang took office, because of the erosion of the Yunnan army and internal corruption, he has punished several high-ranking military officials one after another.

However, the person who came to deliver the good news this time was a person from the Ma Fa Lin Department who was stationed in Gulinqing, and he should not help Xiao Mubai lie and hide himself. After repeated confirmation, I believed the facts written in the good news.

"Someone, send this good news to the Governor."

"Yes, sir."

"Pass my order, order the Gulin Jing Ma Fa Lin Department to obey the dispatch of Commander Xiao, and let the Xiao Department wait for the opportunity to attack, capture Nanxi Town, and cut off the retreat of the rebellious party in the north."

"Yes"

Seeing the dusty messenger standing in the hall, Bai Jinzhu said with a pleasant face: "Take a few taels of silver to this brother and take him down to rest." ”

"Thank you, sir," the messenger said excitedly. I didn't expect that there was a possibility of silver reward for this errand.

It wasn't until this that Bai Jinzhu had a knowing smile on his face. This Xiao Mubai is really a talent.

Besides, Li and Huang, who fled all the way to Baihe Bridge, went all the way without stopping, and after escaping to Baihe Bridge, they went straight to see Wang Heshun, the leader of the revolutionary party.

After saying the details to Wang Heshun, Wang Heshun was already angry. What is surprising is that the Gulin Jingqing army is so powerful, in just one day, the small half of the men and horses in his hands are gone. The angry thing is that under such a good revolutionary situation, it will suffer such a fiasco, in case the Gulin Jingqing army captures Nanxi Town, the logistics supply of the righteous army on the east and west roads will be completely cut off, and if you don't make yourself and others, the whole army will be wiped out.

He didn't doubt that Li and Huang would lie to him, knowing that now they were grasshoppers on a rope. Maybe the two of them will be a little exaggerated, in fact, some moisture, but also eight or nine are not far from ten.

At this time, he really wanted to deal with these two people, but considering that ninety percent of the soldiers in the army were people who had surrendered to the original Qing army, he had to dispel this thought.

Wang Heshun is not an indecisive person, after getting the news reported by the spies one after another, he no longer dares to slack off, Gu Linjing now has more than 1,000 Qing troops, and the combat power is not low, and he can retreat at any time. Although he still has more than 700 troops in his hands, there are not a few Qing troops facing him. Therefore, after several thoughts, Wang Heshun decided to withdraw his troops.

Since it has been decided, he will no longer drag mud and water, so Wang He immediately ordered: "Pass my order, the whole army will organize its equipment and remain vigilant." Wait for the next action order. ”

"Yes"

Looking at the herald who hurriedly walked out, Wang Heshun suddenly became inexplicably irritable, is it really the will of heaven?

Just at dawn, when the Qing army on the opposite side was sleeping soundly, Wang He quietly withdrew from the position with the revolutionary party and withdrew all the way to Nanxi Town.

It's just that Wang Heshun didn't inform the Guan Renfu Department of the Western Route Army of this important information, in his mind, even if the Gulin Jing Qing army is powerful, it can't be anywhere, at most it is a little bit more powerful than these Qing troops who surrendered to Cheng, and the people in his hands plus the Nanxi defenders, it is not difficult to hold Nanxi. Don't say that Wang Heshun is too conceited, and I don't blame him for going that way, after all, the revolutionary party has gone all the way north, and it really hasn't encountered any decent resistance. But what he encountered this time was a well-equipped patrol battalion that had been tempered by Xiao Mubai for half a year. And it was this negligence that almost wiped out the Western Route Army.

At this time, it was already late at night, but the yamen of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou in Kunming was brightly lit, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Xiliang, was busy coordinating various armies and allocating food and baggage to encircle and suppress the revolutionary party. Yunnan society is extremely unstable, and since he took office, he can be described as walking on thin ice. In view of Yunnan's dangerous geographical location, but the local defenders' lack of discipline and lack of training, as well as backward education, financial constraints, and diplomatic difficulties, he vigorously rectified the situation of rectifying the administration of officials, building schools, rectifying armaments, building railways, and banning opium, and achieved remarkable results. And it was strongly supported by the local gentry and common people.

But at this juncture, an uprising broke out in the chaotic party, and the most unexpected thing for him was that the garrison army in Yunnan Province was so vulnerable that it allowed the chaotic party to go all the way north. The ambition of the French wolf son actually wanted to come to Yunnan to help suppress it, which is really hateful. For several days in a row, there was not even a single piece of good news, either for silver or for baggage. Thinking of this, Xiliang couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency. Good news, good news! From afar, they heard the joyful voices of the staff.

Xiliang couldn't help frowning, and reprimanded: "What a fuss, what good news makes you so out of shape." ”

"Don't blame the adults, the villain has lost his temper. It's just too important to hear this news. This is the telegram of the general secretary of the White Sect. ”

"Oh? What news, presented. ”

After receiving the telegram and reading it in detail, Xiliang's first reaction was that Bai Baizhu lied about the military situation, and he was immediately angry. But if you calm down and think about it, it shouldn't be, Bai Jinzhu knows the consequences of lying about the military situation, and besides, he is not such a reckless person. It seems to be true. Thinking of this, his face suddenly softened.

Then he said: "This matter is indeed a great joy, but I don't know who this Xiao Mubai is?" ”

The subordinate arched his hand, and when he saw that the Governor finally stopped having a straight face, he said with a happy face: "Lord Hui, my subordinates looked through the archives in front of him, this Xiao Mubai is not simple, he is a person who returned from abroad, graduated from the Berlin Military Academy of the German Empire, and is the first person in our Qing Dynasty to enter this school." ”

Hearing the staff's reply, Xiliang was not calm now. You must know that since he came to Yunnan to take office, he has always had a plan to organize and train a new army, but he has not been able to implement it due to various conditions. What is most lacking is a new type of talent who understands military affairs, and it is precisely for this reason that not long ago he sent a telegram to the imperial court to transfer Chen Eun to Yunnan to serve as the assistant commander of the new army. I didn't expect such a character to be hidden in front of my eyes. Since there is such a talent, it seems that this great victory must not be wrong.

In a hurry, Xiliang had already decided that after the rebellious party was pacified this time, he would transfer this person to serve in the new army and put it in a place like the defense camp, which was really a waste of talent.

Thinking of this, Xiliang's smile slowly surfaced, this was the only good news he had heard these days.

"Okay, Xiao Mubai, right? Reward, reward. Loyal and brave people like this must be rewarded"

Seeing that the Governor was really in such a happy mood as he expected, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded, "Yes, my lord." The subordinates will do it. ”
