Chapter 962 Zhang Biao is worth staying
"Your Majesty, we would rather lose than accept the terms of the French. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang Biao clenched his fist and said to Duan Fang with an expectant look in front of him.
Seeing Zhang Biao's cold face, Duan Fang suddenly became a little disappointed, since he decided to establish a country, Zhang Biao has always been obedient to himself, but now. Zhang Biao objected for the first time, which made Duan Fang a little unacceptable.
"Your Majesty, I have no objection to the establishment of the country, but if I agree to the conditions of the French, that is, to betray my ancestors and betray the country, I can't do this kind of thing, I'd rather die than agree to cooperate with the French." Zhang Biao said this very seriously, he agreed to rebel with Duanfang, but let himself betray the interests of the country, this could not be done.
Lushun, in the headquarters, looking at the telegram in front of him, Liu Jun smiled slightly and said to Zhong Lin beside him: "Can't you see, Zhang Biao is still a patriotic person?" ”
"Head, Zhang Biao is a talent, although he has done a lot of wrong things, but in this matter, he did it right, you see?"
Zhong Lin wants to keep Zhang Biao, although Zhang Biao can't be on his own yet, but after training, he is a general, no worse than Duan Qirui and others.
"What do you mean?" Liu Jun heard Zhong Lin's intention to keep Zhang Biao, and he also wanted to stay, if nothing else, he said that Zhang Biao was a man worthy of his own acceptance in the treatment of France this time.
"I think I can stay, Zhang Biao is a person, no matter how he was before, but in this matter, he did the right thing." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, looked at the report sent by Wuchang on the discussion between Duanfang and Zhang Biao on the issue of cooperation with France, and said lightly.
"Send a telegram to Duan Qirui, after taking Wuchang, leave Zhang Biao behind, and let him join the Liaodong Army and hold a position under Duan Qirui, if he agrees, temporarily set the rank of major general." Seeing that the two agreed, Liu Jun said directly.
In Wuchang, after more than ten days of fighting, Duan Qirui's two corps, Zhang Xun's 22nd Army, and naval ships, had already gathered on the periphery of Wuhan.
At nine o'clock in the morning of June 27, the ships swimming on the river began to turn their guns and aimed at the position of the second town of the Hubei Army.
Boom....... At 9:10, the sound of artillery from the naval guns announced the prelude to the attack on Wuhan.
The three-way army launched an attack from the east gate, the west gate and the south gate of Wuhan respectively.
Bang bang bang....... An hour after the naval bombardment, the south gate of Wuhan was directly bombarded and gradually collapsed into a gap of about 50 meters, and tens of thousands of soldiers began to crowd into the gap.
"Quick, hold on, follow me." Duan Fang, who was wearing a dragon robe, was now full of anxiety and personally commanded the troops to counterattack on the city wall.
"Your Majesty, it's dangerous here, you better go back to the palace safely." Zhang Biao, whose arm had already been shot, ran over and shouted loudly.
"Return to your command position." Duanfang, who was already angry in his heart, shouted loudly.
Hey, hearing this, Zhang Biao could only stomp his feet, and then commanded the troops to block it.
The tide is over. By dusk, the army had reached the streets less than fifty meters from the Doge's Palace.
"Commander, why don't you come with two cannons and just bombard him?" Artillery commander Zhang Debiao looked at the red flag in the distance and said with a look of hatred.
Of course, two cannons are the easiest thing to solve the problem, but Zhang Biao is the person who the marshal named to stay, if one shot passes at this time, he will not feel distressed if he is killed, but Zhang Biao will be killed, and it will be difficult for him to explain when the time comes.
"How many of them are in now?" Duan Qirui, who thought about it, asked the staff officer beside him. 、
"Report, less than five hundred people went in," the staff officer said after a moment's thought.
"Send someone in, negotiate with me, see what they mean, I hope they will give up resistance and surrender. Don't let the lives of more than 500 people be ruined. ”
"Yes." As soon as Duan Qirui finished speaking, the staff officer next to him had already begun to organize the personnel and walked towards the heavily guarded governor's mansion inside.
The Governor's Palace, now the palace of the Chu State, sat on the dragon chair with tattered clothes, looking at the guards in the hall, and felt full of remorse in his heart, in less than a month, he would fail so miserably, he didn't know whether he couldn't be the emperor, or God played tricks on him.
"Quick, plug the gap, plug the gap." Zhang Biao, who was inside, shouted loudly and asked the soldiers to arm.
There is no use anymore, tens of thousands of people on the outskirts of Wuhan have not been able to resist the attack of the Liaodong Army, let alone the current troops. It's simply not possible.
"Your Majesty, let's fight a bloody way, you go to Hunan." Seeing Duan Fang sitting there motionless, Zhang Biao took a step forward and said.
Going to Hunan, Duan Fang, who heard this, raised his head, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. But the light disappeared in an instant. He knew that Zhang Biao was comforting himself, the tens of thousands of Liaodong troops outside were eyeing him, how could he rush out with this little force now.
"Can't get out?" Duan Fang, who sighed, said dejectedly, looked at Zhang Biao and said again: "I knew this earlier, I should have followed your advice and went to Hunan,"
Hey, what's the use of talking about these now, a few days ago, when the Liaodong Army captured Xiaogan, he proposed to move the capital to Changde, but at that time, Duanfang didn't listen to his orders at all, but transferred 10,000 people from Changde back to guard Wuhan, and now it's good, not only the 20,000 people in Wuhan were defeated, but the 10,000 people who came to Changde were also wiped out by the Liaodong Army outside the east gate.
"Your Majesty, are we just waiting here to die?" Seeing that Duan Fang was already six gods and no master, Zhang Biao squatted down and asked.
If you don't wait for death, what can you do, will the Liaodong Army still accept your own surrender, Duanfang who heard this looked at Zhang Biao in front of him: "Do you think that Liaodong Junhui will let us surrender?"
Although he said that, Zhang Biao could hear the expectation in Duanfang's heart, hoping that the Liaodong Army would accept his expectation of surrender.
It should have been like this a long time ago, and it should not have been instigated by the British to rebel against the imperial court, but now it is good, the kind of self-confidence that I swore at the beginning is now gone there.
People who can't help up, Zhang Biao, who saw this scene, was dripping blood in his heart, and he regretted it very much. I shouldn't have been fooling around with Duan Fang in the first place. Rebel.
"I'll give it a try." Seeing what Duan Fang meant, Zhang Biao lowered his head and thought for a while, then stood up, ready to arrange personnel to negotiate the surrender with the Liaodong Army.
After walking a long way, Zhang Biao turned around, and he saw that Duanfang's survival eyes made him feel a burst of disgust. (To be continued.) )
