Chapter 67 - The Fate of the Twenty-Five Cubs

Just as the entire Patriotic Army was launching a vigorous military operation in the southwest region, because of Zhang Yun's cruel methods. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But there is a large wave of people who are not optimistic about Zhang Yun...... Former Patriotic Army officials, hanging up the seal and fleeing!

Today, a few people fled outside Wuhan in groups, trekking all the way, and finally saw the city wall of Wuhan at this time.

A few people in the team finally showed a heartfelt smile, and a few people who were also nervously relaxed, all of them scolded Zhang Yun at this time!

In addition to Zhang Yun himself, even many high-ranking officials of the Patriotic Army advised Zhang Yun not to massacre the landlord class, for fear of falling into the fate of Hong Xiuquan and Li Xiucheng.

Therefore, this group of former imperial examination winners who came from Hunan to Hubei naturally did not say anything to Zhang Yun when they were relieved at this time...... It is even more impossible to think about leaving Germany under the mouth!

Of course, they didn't notice that there was an idler at the gate of Wuhan, looking at them from time to time, until they themselves scolded Zhang Yun, and the idler seemed to have finally determined something?

Immediately turned around and ran towards the city, but after a while he came back, and then followed them until he entered the old man's house in the city......

A former official of the Patriotic Army pointed to Master Huang and said to his companion: "This is my uncle, when you arrive here, you will be like your own home, you don't need to be polite, and you don't need to be afraid anymore, there may be pursuers." ā€

At the same time, the so-called Master Huang, who was introduced by him, also raised his hand and said: "My nephew, thanks to you for taking care of me for a long time, now that you have arrived in Wuhan, you must let Huang do his best to be a landlord!" What do you think? ā€

The next thing is naturally the guests and hosts, that night, Master Huang set up a banquet for them, and when they were full of wine and food, everyone's topic naturally talked about Zhang Yun again.

Master Huang said: "Since ancient times, the regime of slaughtering the landlord class has never lasted long, for example, in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to suppress the family, but the result was that the Sui Dynasty left by his father died, and the second was ......."

"And now, Zhang Yun actually wants to use the same method, but he is much more fierce than Emperor Yang of Sui, and even dares to slaughter knives against gentry like us!"

Someone chimed in: "Master Huang is reasonable, I have never heard of Zhang Yun doing such a thing in history, he can sit in the world, if I don't escape, but go to the black with him, there is a chance that this road will really go black......"

"Haha......"

Everyone didn't understand at first, but as soon as the man finished speaking, everyone reacted and laughed in unison......

It's just that before they finished laughing, some of them suddenly touched their stomachs and screamed loudly...... I reacted immediately, I'm afraid it's poisoning!

Master Huang immediately called loudly to the slave to come and serve his people, and asked the slave to go and ask the doctor to come over, but what he didn't expect was that his call was not answered.

On the contrary, four or five people swaggered into his courtyard from the gate, and when they walked to Master Huang's side, one of them ignored his frightened eyes and directly raised the knife in his hand......

Although Master Huang and his family are very easy to solve, just these two or five boys lying on the ground make several agents feel a lot of headaches!

You must know that the agents who walked outside in the past only needed to perform the tasks of assassination and robbery, and these two tasks never needed to be merciful, just rush up and cut them directly!

But today, when I received the above task, I tried my best to capture ...... Of course, this is not the task given to them by Zhang Yun.

Instead, it was directly stated that in the case of endangering life safety, there was no need to capture anyone alive, just kill the two or five boys he saw on the spot and bring back his head.

But then one thing was added, which made all the agents who walked out vomit blood, that is, to capture it alive and bring it back, at least three times the merit than to bring back a head......

Zhang Yun's later sentence added that caused several agents here to be very embarrassed, to be honest, it was very easy to cut down these two or five boys and bring them back.

But if you want to capture them alive and send them back to Xiangxi, then this journey is thousands of miles, but there will be trouble, if in the previous mission, the agents didn't think about capturing anything alive at all!

On the contrary, today, a few people hesitated, after all, Hunan has been completely captured, it can be said that not far from Wuhan, they have reached their own territory, in this case, a few agents are thinking again, whether to fight for the credit of those few?

After all, who doesn't want to earn enough credit as soon as possible, so as to get the opportunity to return to the headquarters, to be able to sit at the headquarters with a cup of tea for a day, compared to running outside like now, how to choose? Naturally, it's something that even fools understand!

Of course, the few former Patriotic Army officials who were lying on the ground in pain and unable to speak may have hoped for a happy solution, but unfortunately now is not the time for them to speak.

……

So several human-shaped sacks were carried out of Wuhan City that night, and they traveled all the way, until a day later they entered the territory of Hunan, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and got a carriage overnight, and rushed to Changsha City with all their might......

Compared to the agents who easily completed their mission along the way, not all the two or five boys who betrayed Zhang Yun were stupid!

Therefore, there are naturally people who have not completed the task until now, and they can't even complete the task of bringing back their heads, because they can't find anyone at all, and there is always no shortage of smart people in this world.

But there is a saying: no matter how cunning the fox is, it cannot escape the palm of the hunter's hand.

Yesterday in Jiangxi, in a small town, there were four scholars in a hurry, and after a night's rest, they got up collectively this morning and prepared to go outside the town to continue the unfinished journey......

It's a pity that when I went out of the inn, I suddenly ran into a few agents who rushed over, and the two sides stared at each other for a while, and then one of them suddenly shouted!

The other three all ran to the back door of the inn, but unfortunately they didn't know the strength of these agents, even in public...... The rifle is not easy to take out, but just with the waist knife in hand, it is not something that a few so-called scholars can resist.

So four screams rang out inside the inn in a blink of an eye, and after a while, several people walked out of the inn door with four heads.

Originally, the innkeeper really wanted to report to the official, and even secretly took action, but in the blink of an eye, the head of Xiao Er, who was sent out by him to secretly sue the official, was thrown into the lobby of the inn, and then there was an exclamation!

That's because of this...... A few agents were able to walk out of the town with a swagger without any trouble on the way!

Then it was rumored throughout the world that someone here had his head cut off, and someone there had been tied up in broad daylight.

Some of them are not the means of the agents of the Patriotic Army, but they give this task to peripheral organizations, such as bandits in such and such a region, bandits and bullies in such and such a region, but if you think about it......

People with a heart will find a rule, all the people who had an accident during this period are basically the one or two hundred people who defected from Xiangxi some time ago, of course, Li Hongzhang is this person with a heart.

As early as after that group of people began to defect, someone had contacted him through a relationship, claiming: His nephew has gone the wrong way, and now, if he wants to return to the arms of the court, please give him a face!

Li Hongzhang didn't agree at first, after all, he betrayed the Manchu court, and now he wants to betray Zhang Yun and beg for food under his own hands, which makes Li Hongzhang not think about it.

But in the blink of an eye, he thought of one more thing!

That is, this group of defectors knows absolutely more about the Patriotic Army than any intelligence sent back by spies.

In this way, even if he took them in against his will, Li Hongzhang didn't feel at a loss!

As for the questioning from the Manchu Qing side, Li Hongzhang doesn't seem to care as much as he used to be, and in several peak states in his life, he was defeated by Zhang Yun effortlessly, and now Li Hongzhang seems to have changed a lot......

At least Li Hongzhang, who was once loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, can't come back now, and Li Hongzhang, who still exists, knows how to think about himself.

However, after Li Hongzhang took in those old people, before he could ask about the truth of the Patriotic Army, he was directly shot and killed by the agents of the Patriotic Army who had been lurking in the Manchurian New Army for a long time!

Of course, Li Hongzhang didn't feel that he had anything to lose...... After all, in order to kill so many two or five boys, Zhang Yun was at least exposed, and more than ten elites in the army lurked in his army!

If these spies had not been exposed now, when they gradually rose to a high level in the future because of their bravery, Li Hongzhang probably would not have been able to eradicate them as easily as he is today......

If you want to do the opposite, I am afraid that you will have to pay a huge price like Zhang Yun today to eradicate the two or five boys in your army!

After more than a month, in June 1866, the Ten Patriotic Army's Ten Full-fledged Integrated Corps finally succeeded in capturing Sichuan and Yunnan.

I don't understand, in just two months, how did the Patriotic Army capture the entire five southwestern provinces? Will they fly?

Or can't every city stop them?

It's a pity that there are no answers to these questions, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the gentry class of the world are destined to not get answers, and they have the stuff in their heads.

They will never understand what the 130 cannon means for a wall of earth and stone......

For the shock of the people of the world, Zhang Yun and the senior officials of the Patriotic Army ignored it, and now Zhang Yun has a headache, where is the governance center going to move?

After all, now that we have captured the entire five southwestern provinces, as well as a small number of prefectures and counties in Guangdong, it is obvious that continuing to nest in this small place in Xiangxi is not conducive to the development of political power in the future!

At this time, the capital will be moved, but where to move this capital, Zhang Yun himself has thought a lot...... But he has never been able to find a city suitable for himself as the capital in the five southwestern provinces, and there is not even such a place.

Chengdu, Chongqing, Guiyang, and Changsha, these are what Zhang Yun has considered before, but after careful consideration now, Zhang Yun feels that these four cities are not suitable for the capital.
