Chapter 56: The Battle of Yunnan, Qianchuan (5)

With the 13th and 15th divisions capturing Chongqing, greatly shocked the Qing army in Chengdu, the divisions of the second group army made rapid progress, and now the Qing army is like a bird with a frightened bow, it will collapse at a touch, and soon attack to the surroundings of Chengdu, Sichuan and Shu have been known as the country of abundance since ancient times, rich in products, and the national defense army attacked all the way, but what we saw was a picture of the people's poor livelihood.

Coming to the city of Chengdu, Xu Zhi said: "As long as Chengdu is taken, the battle of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan will not be far from the day of victory, the First Group Army has already taken Guiyang, conquered most of Guizhou, and is ready to attack Yunnan, ordering all departments to speed up the attack and join the First Group Army in Yunnan." The troops began to clear the Qing army on the outskirts of Chengdu, and the 13th and 15th divisions also quickly interspersed and surrounded the Qing army.

The governor of Sichuan summoned his subordinates to prepare for a decisive battle with the national defense army, and in the face of the situation that the national defense army was approaching the city, the generals were also very helpless, and some people also put forward a proposal to surrender, and the Manchu governor was also full of helplessness. When he returned home, he was confronted with his wife and daughter, who persuaded him to surrender to the Wehrmacht, and perhaps to keep the family business, and this group of Confucian students in China was deeply influenced by Confucianism.

Seeing that her lord was still hesitating, the eldest lady said: "Master, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your son and your family." The governor of Sichuan decided to surrender to the national defense army under the persuasion of his wife, and the news came, which made Xu Zhi very helpless, and wanted to fight a good battle, but he didn't expect this Sichuan governor to be so spineless, and surrendered before the fight started.

The next day, the Wehrmacht accepted the surrender of the Governor of Sichuan at the gate of Chengdu, and the Governor of Sichuan signed his name on the surrender document, and the Wehrmacht promised to guarantee the safety of him and his family.

When the news of the Wehrmacht's capture of Guiyang and Chengdu reached Guangzhou, Zhang Yuanzheng took the battle report with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect our troops to make rapid progress, and they all exceeded their pre-war expectations. "Yang Huaifang and Lin Gongshu and other henchmen are there.

Yang Huaifang stood up and said: "They are happy to fight on the front line, and then it is time for me to be sad, the progress is so fast, there is a shortage of relevant government employees to take over, and now I don't know where to find so many government officials." The successors who were originally planned to be trained have not yet completed their training. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard Yang Huaifang's words, and Zhang Yuanzheng said: "Huaifang, select capable students from among the college students who are about to graduate to take over the local work at the grassroots level, and the personnel who are still training and studying will also go immediately, and we must take over the work as soon as possible to appease the people, after all, the people in the army are not good at management." ”

In Guangzhou University, the students are studying seriously, they are full of beautiful visions for the future, studying the campus, everything in the national defense force has a deep impact on this group of students, and everyone wants to be able to serve the country after graduation.

Chengdu, Sichuan has been conquered, just when Xu Zhi was about to lead the Second Army to continue to attack other places, suddenly the scouts reported that they found the Taiping Army Shi Dakai who had fled to Sichuan on the periphery of Chengdu, Xu Zhi immediately reported the situation to Zhang Yuanzheng, Zhang Yuanzheng received Xu Zhi's report, and said to everyone: "Shi Dakai is a famous general in the Taiping Army, he is a great figure, let Xu Zhi persuade him, if he can join us, it will play a great role in our future battle against Nanjing." “

Looking at the telegram sent back by the headquarters, Xu Zhi was a little difficult, he was good at fighting, but he had really never done this work of persuasion before. The Wehrmacht drove out of the city and confronted the Taiping army, and Xu Zhi sent a messenger to Shi Dakai's military camp to persuade Shi Dakai to surrender. Shi Dakai was forced in Nanjing, and had no choice but to lead the army to leave Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which also greatly affected the strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Shi Dakai is also an insightful person, in recent years he has lost his previous confidence in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the national defense force has become stronger and stronger in recent years, Shi Dakai has been thinking about this problem since he came out of Tianjing, the 200,000 elites brought out from Tianjing have also been lost in several battles, and now there are less than 100,000 people, he also knows that he is not a talent to govern the world, he is good at fighting, but he is not good at governance, out of the past few years, he has laid down many places, but because of poor governance, lost one after another, and lost soldiers and generals, but failed to gain anything.

For the strength of the national defense force, Shi Dakai has long heard that Shi Dakai also deeply admires the achievements of the national defense army in the development of governance, he has sent people to the territory of the national defense force to observe, the results shocked him, combined with all this, it is estimated that only the national defense army can change the situation in China today, I heard that the national defense army has hit Chengdu, today with the troops, is to solve the problem of the future retreat of the soldiers, today's national defense force momentum has been invincible, the Qing Dynasty and the defeat of the Taiping army is inevitable, In addition, his daughter-in-law is already pregnant with her own child, and it is not a way to take her around like this.

In front of the two armies, Shi Dakai and Xu Zhi walked between the two armies, ordered someone to set up a table in the middle, and began to negotiate, Xu Zhi arched his hand and said: "I have long heard that General Shi is the first fierce general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and I didn't expect to be able to meet the general today." “

Shi Dakai also returned the salute: "Where is it, the general swept the Qing army in Sichuan all the way, Shi deeply admired. The two said a few words indifferently, Xu Zhi said: "General Shi must have heard of some policies of our army, General Shi rose up against the Qing Dynasty, isn't it so that more people can live a good life, now everyone looks at the whole country, and only our national defense force can do all this, a general's talent, why not leave a useful body to serve the country." ”

Listening to the words that need to be known, Shi Dakai thought for a while: "As long as you, Chairman Zhang, can embarrass these brothers under me, I am willing to take my family to the countryside." ”

Hearing Shi Dakai say this, Xu Zhi smiled and said: "General Shi, our chairman said that you are a great general, if the Taiping Army does not have you, it will not be the Taiping Army. Knowing that Zhang Yuanzheng cherishes his talents, thinking of Zhang Yuanzheng's decision, Xu Zhi knows that Shi Dakai will definitely be able to be reused after he arrives in Guangzhou.

In this way, the Wehrmacht not only solved the Sichuan matter, but also gained a general.
