After the outbreak of the Hekou Uprising, Xiliang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, dispatched troops to suppress it on the one hand, and complained to the Chun government on the other. The government of www.biquge.info Chun heard the alarm and ordered Xiliang to urgently transfer the camp to the emperor. He also ordered Liu Chunlin, the prefect of Kaihua, to assist in the border defense affairs of Yunnan, and ordered Long Jiguang, the governor of Guangxi, to lead the defense battalion to reinforce, also known as the governor of Liangjiang Duanfang and the governor of Huguang to receive money and rewards, and Sichuan, Guizhou and other places also sent troops to reinforce them.

The Qing court strictly ordered the suppression, and Xiliang naturally did not dare to slack off, so he decided to attack in three ways: Wang Zhengya, the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, led ten battalions on the middle road and went south along the Kun (Ming) River (Kou) Railway; Bai Baizhu, the general soldier of Kaihua Town, led 40 battalions on the East Road to Gulinjing, Anping Hall (now Maguan County); The Southern Defense Battalion Office transferred He Zongzhang to lead 11 battalions on the West Road to station. Fang Honglun, a grain storage road officer in Yunnan, led nine battalions on the back road as the general reserve.

The total number of troops attacking from all directions was about 40,000. Xiliang himself also took Yin to the expedition and stationed in Tonghai, an important town in central Yunnan, to take command and meet the revolutionary party. And Xiao Mubai's Guangnan Patrol Battalion was placed under the Bai Jinzhu of the East Road Civilization.

After Xiao Mubai led the two battalions of patrol battalions to Kaihua Mansion, it was already May 4th.

When he was on the road, Xiao Mubai already knew that his two battalions of soldiers were assigned to the general army of Kaihua. Therefore, after the camp was completed, Xiao Mubai went to meet the local head snake, who is also his current direct boss, the Bai Baizhu of the General Soldier of Civilization. Bai Jinzhu is a middle-aged man in his forties and a ** general. As for how to behave, to say that it sounds good is to be kind, and to say that it is difficult to listen to it is to be tactful. However, in this era, those who mix officialdom can't mix up with a town of soldiers if they are not tactful. However, although the person is a little sleek, he is not heroic, nor does he lose the courage of a general.

At this time, the platinum pillar is like an ant on a hot pot, turning in a hurry. Now the defensive forces everywhere are tight, the chaotic party Zhang Deqing's troops have occupied Nanxi, and the chaotic party has now appeared near Bazhai, and Bazhai is only eighty miles away from Huacheng. Fortunately, the four battalions under his command were stationed in Bazhai in advance. It's just that now the forces in his hands are empty, and he can only organize a defense.

Hearing the news of Xiao Mubai's arrival, for Bai Jinzhu, who was overstretched at this time, it could be said to be a relief from an urgent need, and it was also the best news he had heard in the past few days. When he heard that Xiao Mubai led two battalions of defense battalions to come, and when they were well-equipped and brave, they couldn't stop laughing.

Bai Jinzhu stood in front of the steps, and saw a handsome officer walking towards him from a distance. He greeted him warmly.

"Brother Xiao, you're finally here." I have to say that Bai Jinzhu, as the chief soldier of a town, has his own merits, and a sentence of Brother Xiao instead of Commander Xiao has invisibly brought the relationship between the two a lot closer.

Although Xiao Mubai felt the enthusiasm revealed in Bai Baizhu's words from afar, Xiao Mubai didn't dare to be careless. You must know that this is particular in the officialdom, the boss is polite to you, that is approachable, informal, if you climb up the pole, that is, you are not interesting, and you will not be a person. However, Xiao Mubai also saw from this that this person is not difficult to get along with. He let go of his heart that was secretly hanging.

Therefore, after walking in front of Bai Baizhu, Xiao Mubai greeted Bai Baizhu in accordance with the etiquette of officialdom.

"I've seen the chief soldier."

Seeing Xiao Mubai's performance, Bai Jinzhu smiled and nodded secretly, steady and generous, humble and not arrogant, he is a rare talent. Obedient or returned from Germany to stay abroad, a little interesting.

"Brother Xiao, you have solved my urgent need!"

"Don't dare to work with the commander-in-chief, and I am sincerely afraid of my humble duties."

"Okay, Brother Xiao, you don't have to be polite to me. Now that the military situation is urgent, I won't be sloppy with you, and when the party is over, I will entertain you well. ”

"Please command, Lord Commander."

"That's good. At present, the chaotic party Guan Renfu led an army of 400 people to the left to manchu, and planned to take it from Mengzi, all the way to Liankeba River, Tianfang, Anding, Xinjie, Wanhe and other places. Zhang Deqing also led the army to occupy Nanxi and other places, and the headquarters had already come to Kaihua and Anping, and spies of the rebellious party had already appeared in Bazhai 80 miles outside the city. Bazhai has four battalions of troops to defend, but Anping Hall Gu Linjing is empty in defense, in order to prevent the chaotic party from capturing Gu Linjing to develop to Anping Hall, I plan to transfer your department to defend, what do you think? Now the situation can be described as chaotic, and this time I have to rely on Brother Xiao a lot. ”

"Obedience, just..."

"Brother Xiao, but it doesn't hurt to say it"

"Our department has consumed too much grain and grass, and I ask the chief soldier to replenish some. In addition, our soldiers have been on the road for several days in a row, and they are already exhausted, so I beg the chief soldier to let my soldiers rest for a day. ”

"It turns out that this is the case, and it is no problem to have food and grass, and it is reasonable to rest for a full day. Brother Xiao, but don't worry. ”

"Thank you, sir."

After returning to the barracks and converging the news from Bai Baizhu, Xiao Mubai clearly understood the current situation. Although it sounds like the revolutionary party is huge and fierce, Xiao Mubai really didn't pay attention to it, in his eyes, the combat effectiveness of the revolutionary party is simply scum. For this, he has absolute self-confidence. After half a year of training, the two patrol battalions under his command are not as good as the armies of the great powers, but in the domestic army, their elite level can definitely come out on top, and Xiao Mubai's self-confidence stems from this.

Gulinjing is the only place where the estuary passes through Anping, and there are 100 Qing soldiers stationed here in peacetime. At this time, when he heard the news of the call from the revolutionary party, he was in a state of panic and was entangled in the question of fleeing and surrendering. When he learned that Xiao Mubai was coming with his troops and saw a group of well-equipped patrol battalion soldiers, he was overjoyed, and finally he didn't have to worry about escaping or surrendering. So he began to be busy entertaining and settling Xiao Mubai and others.

And Xiao Mubai didn't say hello, and as soon as he arrived at Gu Linjing in Anping Hall, he began to order his subordinate patrol battalions to deploy defenses. He took Yan Weidong, Mo Chunlin and other officers to the position to inspect, and when he saw the busy but flustered soldiers, Xiao Mubai nodded with satisfaction.

"My lord, what should we do in this battle, do we need to kill us?"

Hearing Mo Chunlin's question beside him, Xiao Mubai groaned for a while, the alliance revolted in the early stage, and most of the forces mobilized were members of the party, which can be described as a mixture of fish and snakes. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Hmph, revolutionaries, just a rabble. Although we have different political philosophies from the League, we are both revolutionaries, and their revolutionary passion is worthy of our admiration. ”

Although Xiao Mubai's answer was not right and plausible, everyone present, as the backbone of the Communist Party, naturally did not know what to do. Therefore, Du nodded knowingly.

The night was uneventful.
