Chapter 216: The End of Zeng Guoquan (I)

Li Ran's successful capture of Guangxin Mansion City means that the entire territory of Jiangxi Province has been taken, or Li Ran's task has been completed, and the rest of the northern and western parts of Jiangxi, although those places have not been captured at this time, but they are almost there, Li Ran has already arranged for Jiangxi Province, and then Li Ran will put his energy into Zhejiang Province, because Zhejiang Province is a more important province in the southern provinces, and Zhejiang Province is also one of the provinces that the Qing court attaches more importance to, and Hangzhou Mansion in Zhejiang Province is the capital city of Zhejiang Province.

Hangzhou is an extremely prosperous city, but since a few days ago, Xiaomei led the arrival of the Purple Army, which completely broke the previous peace of Hangzhou, the officials in Hangzhou have run a lot, the lives of the common people have changed a lot, the life of the merchants is even more terrifying, and the life of many small traders is really bad.

Li Ran entered Zhejiang Province, but he did not encounter much resistance, and it can even be said that the rest of Zhejiang Province was simply unable to stop the attack of Li Ran's army. In fact, this can't be blamed on the Qing army, the Qing army doesn't have much ability at all, and Li Ran led an army of nearly 20,000 this time, and the western part of Zhejiang Province is simply impossible to block Li Ran's army, and they don't have an army anymore, and many troops have been mobilized to Hangzhou Mansion at this time. Go and defend the city of Hangzhou and Zeng Guoquan.

The speed of Li Ran's army is also very fast, they are unhindered all the way, and they will soon enter Hangzhou Mansion, enter Hangzhou Mansion, and soon come to Hangzhou City.

Sure enough, as time went by, Li Ran's army was not far from Hangzhou City, and at the same time, Xiaomei also contacted Li Ran, Xiaomei learned that Li Ran led the army to Hangzhou City, Xiaomei immediately began to send a telegram to Li Ran, telling Li Ran about the recent situation in Hangzhou, and at the same time, Xiaomei suggested that Li Ran would attack Hangzhou City tomorrow.

Li Ran was shocked when he got Xiaomei's news, and at the same time, Li Ran also knew Xiaomei's plan, since Xiaomei had this plan, why couldn't he cooperate?

Li Ran immediately summoned the senior officers of the first division of the Zhenwu Army, and issued an order to everyone to attack the west gate of Hangzhou City tomorrow, all the officers were already very cautious, and everyone immediately began to prepare according to Li Ran's order, and Hangzhou City must be taken tomorrow, and everyone also firmly remembered the order of the division commander.

At the same time, they also received the news that Li Ran had revealed to them that the north gate of Hangzhou would be opened tomorrow, and their main task was to rush into the city and fight the Qing army in the city, to be precise, with the Hunan army.

Although the Hunan army at this time is no longer what it used to be, the combat effectiveness of the Hunan army is still extremely strong, not comparable to the general training army, all of which was left by Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zeng Guoquan, the current governor of Liangjiang, is just the younger brother of Zeng Guofan. In fact, Zeng Guoquan is also very good, but compared to Zeng Guofan, he is a little worse. But the Hunan army is still as strong as ever, but this time their opponent is the Zhenwu army, one of the strongest armies in the world today.

Li Ran believes that since Xiaomei said it, then Xiaomei must have a way to open the north door, and Li Ran's trust in Xiaomei is the same as his trust in Li Zhongju. Li Ran: At the same time, I have to prepare well, after all, this may be my biggest big battle in recent times.

Time flies quickly, at the same time, Zeng Guoquan also got the arrival of the first division of the Zhenwu Army, and the first division of the Zhenwu Army came to the foot of Hangzhou, which also indicates that the whole province of Jiangxi Province has fallen, he has two provinces, and one province has fallen into the hands of Li Zhongju, he is very embarrassed, but this time he must not allow the loss of Hangzhou and Zhejiang Province. Even if Zhejiang Province is really lost, it will have a great impact on the first division of the Zhenwu Army.

The next day, the weather just dawned, the first division of the Zhenwu Army went to the north gate of Hangzhou, the first division of the Zhenwu Army headed towards the north gate of Hangzhou, at the same time a captain of the north gate, also saw a large army coming to the north gate of Hangzhou, he immediately ordered to open the city gate, and at the same time concealed it, the first division of the Zhenwu Army quickly entered the city. However, there were still Zeng Guoquan's cronies at the north gate who quickly sent the news to the governor's yamen, and all this went very quickly.

Zeng Guoquan got the news, and for the first time, he stood up with a loud voice, and at the same time he immediately smashed a valuable teacup, "Waste, it's all waste, and that North City Gate guard, he actually opened the city to offer victory, what did he do, he was a normal captain in the Qing Dynasty, and he surrendered to the first division of the Zhenwu Army, what the hell is going on." ”

As for why this Beicheng defender will surrender to the first division of the Zhenwu Army, of course, all this is done by the Purple Army, the Purple Army, under the command of Xiaomei, controls the family and relatives of the North Gate guard, if the Beicheng Guard does not cooperate, his relatives will have a threat to their lives, although this method is a little disgraceful, but this has no impact on the Zhenwu Army.

Xiaomei was relieved to learn that the first division of the Zhenwu Army had entered the city, she was really good this time, and she provided the greatest help to Li Ran's army, and Xiaomei was also very happy in her heart.

The Zhenwu army entered the north gate and immediately began to control the area near the north gate, and at the same time, Li Ran ordered all the soldiers of the first division of the Zhenwu army to start entering the city quickly, ready to meet at any time. After Li Ran's order was issued, the soldiers of the First Division of the Zhenwu Army immediately entered the city quickly, and they were also very happy in their hearts, and they quickly did what they should do according to Li Ran's instructions.

Zeng Guoquan was angry, calm down, no matter how angry he was, it was irreparable, so he could only attack, Zeng Guoquan immediately ordered the army to rush towards the north gate, and all the Qing troops must use the fastest speed, so nearly 30,000 Qing troops went in the direction of the north gate, at the same time, the people in the city also scattered and fled, and they were not willing to continue to stay in the city, because they did not want to lose their lives in vain.

Zeng Guoquan also changed into a military uniform, stepped on a big red horse, and headed towards the north under the traction of the guards, after all, Zeng Guoquan was needed to be in command there. Because Zeng Guoquan was the governor of Liangjiang, only when Zeng Guoquan was there, the Qing army could fight well. Moreover, Xiangjun's recognition of Zeng Guoquan is also very high.

Zeng Guoquan and Li Ran did not give the order to attack, they just confronted each other quietly, no one knew what the two of them were thinking at this time, maybe they felt that they needed to make more adequate preparations before going to war.

The soldiers of the first division of the Zhenwu Army also looked at each other very firmly, and the Hunan army was also very (to be continued.) )
