Chapter 387: Battle of Changsha
Dozens of hundreds of good heads outside the city of Hengzhou fell to the ground with a cannon sound, the bright red blood rushed up the blue sky like an arrow, and fell to the ground with a whoosh, dyed the red loess and shocked the hearts of the unscrupulous people, a gust of wind blew for no reason, the blue rain fell with a bang, and the blood that had not yet dispersed was blown down, and the town guard made the scarlet in front of the yamen, which was left from the high pole, and there were thousands of people on the pole, some were rich and some were shabby, but it was difficult to escape a thief word on the brain, which was repeatedly confessed by Chang Zhenbang, He said that the people who robbed the government in broad daylight must be thieves, and they might as well engrave this thief on their heads to set an example, even if they go to the underworld, they must let the city god judge know how these people died, the blood stains outside the city make the rain from the sky wash clean, and the blood in front of the yamen makes the rain fill the ground everywhere, so that more than half of the ground in the entire Hengzhou city has blood stains, this rigid style has an immediate effect, and many gentry with heads and faces have come out to intercede with Chang ZhenbangAs long as he no longer pursues, the lost items of the government, the lack of loot on the battlefield will be sent a lot, Chang Zhenbang was quite embarrassed and finally agreed to their bitter pleas, the gentry really did what they said and sent those things at the same time, but also gave a few additional plaques such as loving the people like a son, being reasonable, etc., for which the military reporters of the Southeast Times naturally made a lot of publicity, the news reached Changsha, Zhang Jingyao saw it, couldn't help laughing, turned back to Zhang Jingtang and said: " The wicked have their own wicked grinding, these damn Hunan Yankees finally got retribution, you always say that Lao Tzu supervised the army in Hunan during the government was quite tyrannical, now it seems that compared with Chang Zhenbang These birdmen, Lao Tzu is kind like a monk, I think the reason why Changsha was taken by Tang Shengzhi a few days ago is that Lao Tzu is too soft-hearted. ”
Zhang Jingtang said: "Hunan people are so bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, they should really teach a lesson, but now there is Zhao Hengti's army besieging the city outside Changsha City, and there are people with ill intentions who are ready to move." At a time when we are once again in domestic and foreign difficulties, we really shouldn't be making a big move. ”
"Damn, this evil breath makes Lao Tzu really uncomfortable! Sooner or later, I have to let these Hunan Yankees know that they know how powerful Lao Tzu is. Zhang Jingyao said very dissatisfied: "What did Wu Peifu say over there, when would he send reinforcements to Lao Tzu." ”
Zhang Jingtang said: "Wu Peifu said that he has let Xiao Yaonan, the 25th Division of Beiyang, and the 29th Division of Zhou Jincheng go south, I believe that they will arrive in Changsha in a few days, and I hope that the eldest brother will be a little restless, as long as Changsha City is not lost, the hat of the Hunan overseer is still the eldest brother." ”
Zhang Jingyao's eyes burst out with two chilling cold lights and said: "Hunan Yankees, don't you cheap bones like to be hard? Lao Tzu will let you see the hard side of Lao Tzu, Secretary Niu is here! ”
"My lord, please command." Secretary Niu said very respectfully.
Zhang Jingyao said: "Lao Tzu's brothers are not easy to work hard for the people of the city to avoid the ravages of the Southwest Revolutionary Party, from today on, everyone in Changsha City will pay a piece of the ocean's security tax, a five-cornered ocean's nutrition tax, a five-cornered ocean's city wall construction tax, and three oceans' barracks entertainment tax, and no one shall be exempted. Go down and do it! ”
"Yes, sir! Let's do it! Secretary Niu said: "But six oceans is a bit much, I'm afraid it will make those old ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Jingyao forcefully interrupted the other party's words, pointed at Zhang Jingtang and said: "The fourth brother will transfer one from your army and cooperate with Secretary Niu to collect taxes, and those who resist taxes will be killed!" If you really don't have any money, you can collect money on the spot to make up the difference! ”
"Big brother, this ......"
"Go ahead!"
"Yes, big brother!" Zhang Jingtang turned around and pulled Secretary Niu to go, and it didn't take long for the streets of Changsha to come to the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping, people turning over on their backs, in addition to the gunshots from time to time, the grievances of the Changsha Yankees turned into flattering smiles under the gun, not to mention six oceans, even ten oceans were also served with a smile with both hands, and those hospitable masters not only paid taxes enthusiastically, but also took out good wine and meat to entertain, which really let these soldiers enjoy what is called the military and civilian fish and water. Especially where the fourth general Zhang Jingtang was, he even received a pennant with the words: "Zhang Shuaizhi Xiangxin is in a prosperous era, and we were born in Hunan without complaints." ”
Of course, there are also unconvincing thorns, those faculty and staff took the students to the streets, condemning Zhang Jingyao's tax-collecting measures, and asking the majority of Changsha citizens to participate in driving away Zhang Jingyao to welcome Zhao Hengti's revolutionary division into the city, this slogan shouted loudly and openly, a banner and small flags with black letters on a white background fluttered in the wind, not to mention how loud it was, but these people were much less courageous, many students heard the gunshots, immediately turned around and left, at this time a normal student surnamed Mao stood up boldly and said: "Students, don't be afraid, the Beiyang warlords don't dare to shoot at the students! Let's not be scared! ......Before he could finish speaking, a bullet swished through his head, making him roll to the ground like a dead dog, blood wanton, the students scattered when they saw the wow, trampling the classmate surnamed Mao like mud, but a few activists were like stupid geese on the spot, how many student movements have been carried out, how many warlords and soldiers have been defeated, it is Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui and a generation of heroes do not dare to touch them a single hair, they are students, they will be officials in the future, who dares to touch them! Relying on this relationship, they are reckless and take the current government seriously, this Zhang Jingyao has been repeatedly frightened by their loud voice on the street before, but this time no one expected that after Zhang Jingyao received the report, he first frowned and then showed his face, as if he was in the middle of it, called his own guard brigade, rode you to the street, and saw a student who was neither male nor female flashing the students in a thick Hunan tone to continue to confront the government, only to see him sneer, and kill without saying a word. When the guards brigade behind him heard the gunshots, they immediately rushed into the ranks of the students like tigers in the mountains, and killed the men without mercy, and when they saw the women, they pulled them aside and took turns to be happy in the small alleys. After these students left, the Hunan Yankees in Changsha City finally knew how powerful Zhang Jingyao was, and immediately became grandsons, and many squires gathered some thoughts - a large number of food and supplies, along with three beautiful women and 110,000 oceans, were sent to the Overseer's Mansion.
Zhang Jingyao laughed when he saw it, and said with a smug face: "Fourth, look at it, these Hunan Yankees are finally honest, in the final analysis, Hunan still does not have the foundation for practicing benevolent government." ”
Zhang Jing Tangshui saw the performance of these Hunan people when he collected taxes, and couldn't help sighing, and said: "The Hunan Yankees know the methods of the eldest brother, and I am afraid that they will be obedient for a while in the future." ”
"No, no, no." Zhang Jingyao said: "To deal with these guys, only violence is the only language they can understand and remember, in order for them to behave better, Lao Tzu has no choice but to save people's hearts by thunderbolts." Ha ha. ”
Zhao Hengti outside Changsha City learned of the movement in Changsha City, he was overjoyed, regardless of the fact that the sky had darkened a lot, he immediately commanded the Hunan army in his hand to launch a fierce attack on Changsha City, he believed that as long as the people in Changsha City heard his gunshots, they would definitely flock to the streets and alleys to cooperate with him to seize Changsha City, he was from Hengshan County, and naturally knew what the hell these Changsha people were, after all, although everyone is not a nine-headed bird in the sky, but they are the same Hunan Yankees on the ground, how can they not understand each other? If you don't have the two ends of the first rat, how can you be worthy of the nine-headed bird in the sky? But no matter how the left and right are in the source, these Hunan people at both ends of the first Shi still don't trust any outsiders in their hearts, perhaps this is why many Hunan people advocate that Hunan is completely separated from China, and it is strange that after the fall of the Qing Empire in reality, only two places are the most resolute to break away from the forces, one is Outer Mongolia, the other is Hunan, Mongolia has never been China's land, and after the Republic of China, there is still Inner Mongolia attached, even if the Northeast has never been recognized by the Han people, there is a heart to return home, However, this Hunan has repeatedly asked for secession, and I really don't know what to say.
The defenders on Changsha City are all Zhang Jingyao's masters who have fed them with silver, and there are many things that have been bullied by men and women in the past, which has long made Changsha City complain, so they also know that this Changsha cannot afford to be lost, and those Changsha guys will definitely not spare them after they are lost. For the sake of their own lives and a good life in the future, their resilience has once again been qualitatively leaped, braving the roaring cannons of Zhao Hengti outside Changsha City, they played the spirit of not getting out of the line of fire and seriously injured on the battlefield, and launched a heroic struggle with Zhao Hengti outside the city, which greatly deterred the Hunan army under Zhao Hengti and once again repelled Zhao Hengti's army.
Zhao Hengti looked at the retreating Hunan army and couldn't help but be furious, but what made him even more angry was that those cowards in Changsha City did not come out to cooperate, and even gave Tang Jiyao a return, the lack of revolutionary dedication in Changsha City was the main factor in the failure of the night battle siege, in fact, these are not right, after hearing the sound of artillery outside the city, many Changsha people rushed out of their homes, and they wanted to cooperate with Zhao Hengti, who knew that Zhang Jingyao had already prepared, and arranged heavy troops at important street intersections in Changsha City, When he saw these rebellious people, he didn't say a word, and shot mercilessly, until these people in Changsha City hid in his wife's bed. After this defeat, Zhao Hengti suffered heavy losses and had to order the retreat. It's just that at this time, a flood that burst the embankment made Lu Rongting almost become the commander of the light pole, and his old nature was replaced by a more powerful person like Tang Jiyao, but at this time, Tang Jiyao did not accept a new little brother and felt doubly happy, I don't know when, the chaotic Jiangxi actually freed up his hands, three or four divisions began to enter Hunan, with Hengzhou as the central base, and attacked the nearby state capitals everywhere, these state capitals and counties learned of Chang Zhenbang's thunderbolt methods, and they all looked at the wind and fell, greatly shrinking Tang Jiyao's strategic place, And in many encounters, he hit the morale of the Yunnan Army with more bullying and less fighting, Tang Jiyao was annoyed and angry, and immediately said that he wanted to fight with Chang Zhenbang.
