Chapter 63: Beren died because of me
The Taiping army successfully broke through to the north and prepared to march towards Guilin in the north, to attack Guilin and continue to attack in the north to seize more land. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And their strategic plan is to rush all the way to Jiangning, Jiangsu, because Jiangning has an incomparable role. Jiangning, Jiangsu Province is also known as Nanjing in later generations, and Nanjing's status in the minds of any Han people is very huge. Nanjing, which is often the capital of the southern secession regime, and the establishment of Nanjing as the capital often means not forgetting the ambition of the Northern Expedition, which plays an extremely important role in uniting people's hearts. In addition to the Song Dynasty's court, which was willing to be peaceful, other southern secession regimes were not suitable to use Nanjing as their capital, which has become an important cultural gene. The capital of Nanjing has a unique cultural foundation, from Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning of the capital of Yingtian, to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Republic of China also set the capital of Nanjing, all of which show that there are unique cultural factors.
"Check the battalions now!" Yang Xiuqing said.
"Oh no, King Dong, the medical camp didn't come along!"
Yang Xiuqing exclaimed: "What's the matter, why did the medical battalion fall behind?" ”
"The medical camp is full of weak women, and that Henry Dunant is obviously also a literati, so ......," Hong Xuanjiao said embarrassedly.
Yang Xiuqing touched his face, this Henry Dunant didn't follow up behind and fell behind? Henry Dunant was a man of letters, not a warrior. And he is surrounded by some weak women, who are doctors, apprentices and nurses in the medical camp, not female soldiers, and their physical strength is very poor, and it is normal to fall behind. But falling behind at this time is really fatal.
"We don't care about him, let's go!" Wei Changhui, the king of the north, shouted.
But Yang Xiuqing, Hong Xiuquan and others fell into deep thought, and finally Yang Xiuqing said: "We can't lose the medical battalion, although the medical battalion has no combat effectiveness, but it is more important than tens of thousands of old brothers!" ”
"That's right, that's it!" Hong Xiuquan also agreed.
"However, we have already broken through, so do we still want to go back?" Wei Changhui asked anxiously.
At this time, Xiao Chaogui took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'll go, I'll lead a thousand brothers, go back and snatch the medical camp out, and prepare to break off!" ”
"Okay, Chaogui, you go!" Hong Xiuquan said.
Xiao Chaogui soon rushed back again with a thousand elite Taiping troops, intending to rescue Henry Dunant's medical camp and cut off the Taiping army that had broken through.
When the Qing army saw that the Taiping army had actually broken through, they were immediately very anxious, obviously thinking that they had failed this time. However, when they saw that there was still a battalion of the Taiping Army that had not broken through, they stepped up their attack on this medical battalion. Because they want to take one out as soon as possible and hand it over, so that maybe they can redeem some of their guilt.
"Doesn't it mean that long-haired people, whether they are men or women, are very powerful? Why is this medical camp so bad? Qing Jun wondered.
Henry Dunant saw that these men were killing his apprentice doctors and nurses, and immediately began to shout: "We are humanitarians, we are not warriors, they are all doctors and nurses, not enemies." They're just women, and it's hard for you to kill them......"
No matter how much Henry Dunant shouted, those Qing soldiers couldn't understand his foreign language, and Henry Dunant didn't know Chinese. However, even if the Qing army understands, they will not care much, because the Qing army has a lot of good and risky deeds, who cares about humanitarianism.
When Henry Dunant thought he was going to die in this foreign land, the Qing army collapsed.
"Rush, snatch the medical camp back for me!" Xiao Chaogui rushed back with a thousand Taiping troops.
"Longhair Kill is back, Longhair Kill is back!" ……
The Qing army began to collapse partially, they were very afraid of the combat effectiveness of Long Hair, and now they actually killed it again, so they didn't know what was going on. But they quickly dodged, not wanting to face the longhair directly. Xiao Chaogui quickly rushed to the vicinity of the medical camp and directly pulled Henry Dunant to prepare to leave.
"Henry Dunant, let's go!" Xiao Chaogui said in English.
Henry Dunant hesitated a little and said, "There are all wounded soldiers here!" ”
"Leave it alone, hurry up, you are much more important than these wounded soldiers!" Xiao Chaogui hurriedly shouted.
Xiao Chaogui didn't care about anything at all, and directly pulled Henry Dunant and some female soldiers to break through again.
"Stop them, since Long Hair goes and returns for these people, it means that these people are very important, stop them for me!" The commander of the Qing army shouted.
The Qing army continued to strengthen its deployment, wanting to block Xiao Chaogui.
"Rush, rush, rush!" Xiao Chaogui shouted.
Xiao Chaogui directly charged at the front, leading his Taiping army to tear a gap again. However, at this time, there were only more than 500 people left in the 1,000 Taiping army, and when the gap was torn, Xiao Chaogui followed the troops and fought and retreated. In addition to rescuing Henry Dunant this time, Xiao Chaogui also wanted to cut off the Taiping army and avoid the Qing army's pursuit too tightly.
"Bastards, bastards, give them to me, catch up with them!" The commander of the Qing army said angrily.
Xiao Chaogui personally led people to break the rear and let Henry Dunant of the medical camp go first. However, the Qing army was still struggling to pursue, and refused to give up on these people.
"Firearms, firearms!" The commander of the Qing army said angrily.
At this time, the commander of the Qing army remembered that the Qing army also had firearms, and the Qing army actually had firearms at present. Many people think that the Chinese army in the late Qing Dynasty was all big swords and spears, but this is not the case. In fact, the Qing Dynasty also had firearms, and the proportion was not low. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, firearms accounted for more than 20 percent of the Qing army. As for the period of the First Sino-Japanese War, basically the infantry in charge of regular combat could use rifles, not cold weapons. The so-called use of cold weapons by the Qing Dynasty is nothing more than false propaganda made by the West in order to despise China.
In the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, both the Qing army and the Taiping army used firearms as the main means of warfare, and even the Liukou Twist Army in the north was also equipped with a large number of firearms. Therefore, in the late Qing Dynasty of China, in fact, it had already transitioned to the era of firearms, and it was not a cold weapon as ordinary people imagined. Of course, this is also forced, and if it weren't for the change in the situation, they wouldn't have been forced to do so.
The firearms units of the Qing army began to prepare for firing with large poles with local Chinese characteristics, which were large calibers of firearms. It is equipped with small lead bullets and other bullets, and gunpowder is used as the kinetic energy for launching, and once it is shot, it will be a large piece. This kind of firearm was actually available in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but after so many years, there has not been much progress!
"Ready! Put! ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
One by one, large poles began to be fired, and the density of the firepower hit by the Taiping army suddenly increased greatly.
"King Xi, the Qing Demon has set fire weapons!"
Xiao Chaogui hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" ”
The Taiping army accelerated the evacuation, but the Qing army obviously also discovered Xiao Chaogui and shouted: "That person with special clothes and is definitely an important person with long hair, hit me, beat me hard." ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The big pole was launched for the second time, and it was aimed at Xiao Chaogui in a unified way. Although the accuracy of the big pole lifting is not high, there are many bullets fired, and Xiao Chaogui was immediately hit by this fire attack.
"Ahh
"King Xi, I'll carry you away!" A Taiping soldier next to him said.
Xiao Chaogui didn't have any combat effectiveness at all, so he could only let his subordinates carry him on his back.
"After the break, for the king of the west!" The remaining hundreds of Taiping army leaders shouted.
Hundreds of the remaining Taiping soldiers continued to be in charge of the break, but everyone knew they were destined to be unable to return.
Xiao Chaogui's cronies carried Xiao Chaogui back, and soon followed Henry Dunant back to the Taiping army.
"Chaogui?" Hong Xuanjiao was shocked when she saw Xiao Chaogui being seriously injured and unconscious.
Xiao Chaogui is Hong Xuanjiao's newlywed husband, why was he seriously injured?
"Chaogui, wake up, wake up!" Hong Xuanjiao hurriedly shouted.
"King of the West?"
The surrounding Taiping troops shouted one after another, but Xiao Chaogui didn't wake up.
"Henry Dunant, Henry Dunant, you must save him! He's my husband, he's my husband, we've only been married for a month! Hong Xuanjiao pulled Henry Dunant and shouted.
Henry Dunant checked Xiao Chaogui's situation, and finally sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "No, this Mr. Xiao not only hit a few vital points, but also lost too much blood, and is about to die now!" I don't know any more about it, I don't know any real professional doctors, but even if any Western professional doctor comes, it's useless. ”
"What? Chaogui is going to die, he is going to die? Hong Xuanjiao hurriedly grabbed Henry Dunant and asked.
Henry Dunant did not speak, apparently acknowledging the statement.
Hong Xiuquan was also helpless for a while, and said: "The King of the West is an important minister of my heavenly kingdom, but he died before he got out of the school, it's sad!" It's a pity that Xuanjiao didn't leave him a post-......"
Hong Xuanjiao smiled bitterly and said: "We have been trapped here for the past month, and we have been fighting every day, where is the time...... I didn't even ...... it."
"......" everyone was speechless.
But everyone also feels normal, since Hong Xuanjiao and Xiao Chaogui got married for a month, everyone has been very busy, and it is very normal that they don't have the time and heart to do that kind of thing. However, I didn't expect that my new wife would make her a widow when she was still a virgin, and she didn't even have a single offspring, which was too cruel.
"Mr. Xiao has returned to the arms of God!" Henry Dunant said.
Henry Dunant next prayed to Xiao Chaogui, which was considered to be a prayer in the way of Western Christianity.
Hong Xiuquan said: "Okay, bury Xiao Chaogui, let's leave quickly!" ”
"But, is it like this? I'm afraid ...... then," Hong Xuanjiao was a little worried.
"Xuanjiao, when a person dies, he dies, but he has returned to the arms of God, and what remains in this world is just a physical body, and there is nothing to care about." Hong Xiuquan actually habitually said the trick of fooling people.
However, Hong Xuanjiao frowned, of course she knew that this set was fooling, but it was not easy to refute. had to let Hong Xiuquan and them pull them away, and someone at the scene buried Xiao Chaogui here. Henry Dunant next to him was also praying, hoping that this Xiao Chaogui could return to the arms of God.
"Mr. Xiao, it's actually all me, if you didn't save me, you wouldn't have died here. Mr. Xiao, you died to save me, I'm sorry for you......" Henry Dunant is still here praying for Xiao Chaogui.
However, Henry Dunant still felt very guilty in his heart, thinking that it was his own reason that Xiao Chaogui died here. However, Henry Dunant did not think at all that in fact, the biggest responsibility was not him. If it weren't for Chen Dingtian writing books to make money, there would be no rumors that Chen Dingtian had 200,000 pounds. If it weren't for this rumor, Henry Dunant would not have come to the East to get donations. If it weren't for Henry Dunant's arrival in the East, he wouldn't have heard of the Taiping Rebellion. If he hadn't wanted to persuade peace, he wouldn't have joined the Taiping Army and formed a medical battalion. If it weren't for the formation of a medical battalion, then he wouldn't have fallen behind, Xiao Chaogui wouldn't have come to save him, and if it wasn't for saving him, Xiao Chaogui wouldn't have died so quickly.
Although Xiao Chaogui would also die in battle soon after, he died in Changsha, and he could finally sleep with his new wife Hong Xuanjiao, and even leave offspring. It's a pity that this time and space, because of a series of inexplicable butterfly effects, actually made Xiao Chaogui die, and died even worse, even his new wife was not able to meet, Hong Xuanjiao was still a virgin and became a widow, and even a son was not able to give birth to Xiao Chaogui.
This is really "I don't kill Beren, but Beren died because of me".
After Xiao Chaogui was buried, the remaining Taiping army continued to the north to conquer the city. The Qing soldiers behind chased after them and saw Xiao Chaogui's mausoleum.
"Hahahaha, we actually killed such a long-haired thief Xiao Chaogui, this Xiao Chaogui is one of the important thieves! We killed Xiao Chaogui, and this time it is finally much better. Fortunately, Xiao Chaogui was killed, otherwise I'm afraid we would be really in trouble in the future. With this feat, at least it won't be punished! The commander of the Qing army said.
"Take out this Xiao Chaogui's corpse for me, cut off the head, and send it to the capital to show the emperor."
The Qing army began to dig up Xiao Chaogui's grave, and then began to cut off Xiao Chaogui's head to prepare to send it to the capital to be dedicated to Xianfeng. This is a war feat, and it is definitely an extremely important battle feat. This Xiao Chaogui is the king of the west, one of the four kings of the "southeast and northwest" second only to the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan, and even second only to the king of the east, Yang Xiuqing, and is the number three person in the Taiping Army!
