"Yangzhou Governor Sun Tiansheng? Who is this Sun Tiansheng? Chai Dongliang took the telegram and looked at it again and again, confused.

The telegram was forwarded by He Tianshou from Anqing, saying that he had received a telegram from Sun Tiansheng, the governor of Yangzhou, that Yangzhou City was attacked by the salt lord Xu Baoshan, and asked He Tianshou to send troops to rescue him. Lao He didn't dare to make an assertion, so he sent a telegram asking for instructions.

Gao Ming couldn't figure out what kind of immortal Sun Tiansheng was, but he knew in his heart what kind of place Yangzhou was, it was the base camp of salt merchants, and it was a good place to fart and oil the crotch of his pants!

"Dudu, I don't know Sun Tiansheng, Xu Baoshan has heard that the biggest smuggler in the Jianghuai area sometimes kills people and sells goods on the Yangtze River to do some business! There are three to five thousand people under his command, and the force is not small! ”

Three or five thousand bandits, not yet in Chai Dongliang's eyes, these people are experts in disturbing some good people and robbing business travelers, if they encounter a new army, it can be said that they are vulnerable. Wuchang is a good example, tens of thousands of Hui Party and People's Army met Feng Guozhang's Beiyang Army, and they were beaten up, and the real combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang was only the self-improvement army trained by Zhang Zhidong, except for the new army, the others were all here to make up the numbers!

"This Sun Tiansheng, how could he ask He Tianshou for help? Lao He is also a bastard, and he doesn't make it clear in the telegram! Since he is the governor of the revolutionary party, Yangzhou is a stone's throw away from Nanjing, he does not ask for help from Nanjing, but asks for help from Anhui, which also doesn't make sense! Chai Dongliang was puzzled.

"Well, let me think about it!" Chai Dongliang waved his hand and motioned for Gao Ming to step back first.

Master Gao also felt that things were a little weird, and it was better to be safe, don't scratch yourself without hitting the fox.

Chai Dongliang hurriedly went online and sent a message to the deputy moderator Ma Xiaobraid: "Check for me Sun Tiansheng's information, the governor of Yangzhou in Xinhai!" ”

After a while, Ma Xiaobraid burst into laughter: "The governor of Yangzhou, a big teapot in the courtyard, like the protagonist in your book, ripped Sun Wen's tiger skin to make a big banner, pretending to be Sun Wen's cousin... I've posted the information to the group to share, see for yourself! ”

Chai Dongliang was inexplicably surprised when he saw the information, there are too many cattle in this era, and he dares to cheat the city with at least two duck eggs, and this Sun Tiansheng took down the huge Yangzhou City with his bare hands!

It's just that this guy is bolder than the sky, but the brain is smaller than the pine seed, after taking Yangzhou, guarding the salt transport envoy Yamen millions of silver, one does not recruit troops and horses, two does not appease the new army and patrol battalion, three does not appease the local gentry, every day riding a white horse with a few personal soldiers in Yangzhou City to shake the majesty of his governor. The councillors of the local council and the local gentry begged to see him, but he couldn't even say a word, and then he didn't want to meet at all!

The local gentry in Yangzhou became suspicious and suspected that he was not a real revolutionary, so they sent people to Sun Tiansheng's hometown to inquire. The result is that this guy has nothing to do with Sun Wen for eight lifetimes, and he has been a big teapot in Anqing Ji Courtyard for the past few years!

In another time and space, the local gentry in Yangzhou found the salt lord Xu Baoshan into the city, and cut off the head of Sun Tiansheng, a bold and reckless man with a low IQ, and then Xu Baoshan relied on the wealth of Yangzhou to expand the army by tens of thousands in one fell swoop and became a hegemon!

I see!

After reading the information, Chai Dongliang suddenly realized, no wonder Sun Tiansheng didn't ask Nanjing for help, first of all, he wouldn't know the big figures of the Nanjing Revolutionary Party at all, and second, he pretended to be Sun Wen's relatives and had a little weakness!

According to the royal law of the Qing Dynasty, if you pretend to be an official, you will have to punish a hundred exiles from Uriya Sutai to slaves in armor! According to the views of ordinary people, Sun Wen's status is at least a prince even if he is not an emperor, and he is pretending to be his relative, so he must not punish the nine clans?

As for how He Tianshou met Sun Tiansheng, Chai Dongliang estimated that Lao He must not have done his best to train soldiers in Anqing, and he should be a frequent visitor to Yanyu Building, so it is not surprising that Sun Tiansheng knew him!

The warm sun is shining outside the window, Chai Dongliang's mood is sunnier than the weather, this Yangzhou is a good place! The ancients said that the happiest thing in life: wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist and ride a crane to Yangzhou!

Sun Tiansheng is a waste, negligible NPC, Xu Baoshan is just a salt lord, Yangzhou fell into their hands, it was really good mutton fed to the dogs!

Now there are mountains of gold and silver in Yangzhou City, who is worthy of not fishing? It's really a good luck when people go!

From Wuhu to Yangzhou, the waterway is only 600 miles, and the warship can reach it in less than a day!

"Someone, please Master Gao!"

Not long after, Gao Ming ran in: "Dudu, have an idea?" ”

Chai Dongliang nodded and said: "Since it is the governor of Yangzhou who asks for help, it is not appropriate for us not to save it, they are all revolutionary comrades!" How can you watch the salt lord bandits poison the people of Yangzhou? Ordered the water to make fire, and I personally led the troops to save Yangzhou! ”

Master Gao said with a smile: "Then I will send a telegram to the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion now, saying that the sailors of the Anhui Revolutionary Party will rescue Yangzhou at night!" ”

Chai Dongliang suddenly remembered one thing, if Xu Baoshan entered Yangzhou one step faster than himself, even if he killed him, the silver of the salt transportation envoy Yamen would probably be taken away by this guy!

Chai Dongliang patted his head and said bitterly: "Hey, I knew that I was going to rescue Yangzhou, and I shouldn't have let the sailor withdraw from Nanjing a few days ago!" ”

Gao Ming was secretly funny, who is to blame? It's not because Chai Dongliang is too jealous of Sun Wen's reputation, for fear that the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division will be incited by Sun Wen to bow down, after taking Nanjing, Chai Dongliang ordered the commander of the fleet Tang Qianming, the Navy Division must not pause for a moment, and set sail back to Anhui in the starry night!

If the sailor is in Nanjing, he can rush to Yangzhou in more than an hour!

Self-defeating!

・・・・・・ Dividing Lines・・・・・・

The river is dotted with white sails, and a blue tooth flag is hung on each wooden boat, on which is painted a majestic and colorful tiger. Thousands of strong men armed with broadswords, spears, and muskets landed on the gangplank. Their clothes were very messy, not like the army, but like a group of fishermen with weapons.

On a boat headed by him, a middle-aged man of forty-five or sixteen years old was drinking at the bow of the boat, it was now a great cold season, although the sun was very big, but the river was still cold to the bone, this person was actually naked with his upper body, a black cloth short coat around his waist, bronzed skin, his arms and legs were twice as thick as ordinary people, his shoulders were even wider and amazing, his neck was very thick and his head was almost connected, and the raised muscles were cast in copper and iron, and it was difficult to guess how much strength his bear-like body contained, There is a hideous scar on his face, which has been blown black and red by the river wind, from the corner of his eye to his jaw!

Xu Baoshan, a disciple of Zhenjiang Dan, once worshipped a wandering monk as a teacher when he was a child, learned a martial arts, proficient in knives, guns and sticks, just fifteen years old began to hunt wild food on the river, do some business without capital. Twenty years ago, he made a big vote in Yangzhou Fairy Temple, and was taken by the Qing court and sent to Gansu, and successfully escaped halfway, mixing in the rivers and lakes and becoming a salt lord. There are no less than four or five thousand people who follow him to eat, and he is also a famous green forest tycoon on the Yangtze River!

"Master Tiger, let's catch it this time! Lay down Yangzhou, the tiger master is the governor of the capital, and our brothers will get a regiment commander and battalion commander to do it! The hall master of the torture hall, the fifth red flag said excitedly.

Xu Baoshan drank slowly, and glanced at a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman next to him out of the corner of his eye: "Gu Da Shopkeeper, if you take Yangzhou this time, I, Xu Baoshan, will be the governor, and you will be the civil governor of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion!" ”

Gu Dazhang smiled flatteringly: "Then thank you Dudu!" ”

Xu Baoshan laughed, waved his hand and said: "But there is one thing, if someone in this Yangzhou city sets up an organ and wants to harm me Xu Laohu and these thousands of brothers!" Then I'll kill your whole family! ”

Xu Baoshan said that the clouds are light and light, and it seems that killing other people's whole family is as common as eating and drinking!

Gu Da's shopkeeper patted his chest: "Absolutely not!" The situation in this city, the little brother has told the tiger master, it must not be wrong! If anything goes wrong, you screw my head off and use it as a night pot! ”

Xu Baoshan patted him on the shoulder and scolded with a smile: "Lao Tzu doesn't have such a big urine, so I can't use a night pot like you!" Then he laughed and said: "When people go, the horse is fat, and I, Xu Laohu, am also going to be the governor?" Children, do you think the tiger lord looks like a governor? ”

The salt lords said in unison: "Like! ”
