At this time, Lu Rongting, as soon as he mentioned Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and he hated to arrest them immediately and break them into pieces.

Following the annihilation of Shen Hongying's entire army, Mo Rongxin was also defeated in Guiping, and fled back to Nanning with only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses. Soon after, Shen Hongying also fled back to Nanning. Seeing the miserable appearance of the two of them with their gray faces and smoky faces, Lu Rongting couldn't say anything to reproach, so he could only comfort them with kind words, and let them recruit troops in the rear and replenish the troops in preparation for another battle.

At this time, under the support and cover of the river gunboats and airplanes on the river, the Jiangxi and Guangdong coalition forces drove straight into the river all the way, and the troops went straight to Ning, while the other Guangdong army landed from the coast under the cover of the navy, captured the defense city and Qinzhou, and rushed straight to Nanning, the city of Nanning was attacked by the enemy, and the situation became precarious for a while, just when Lu Rongting was hurriedly starting to defend, he did not expect Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin to suddenly lead troops to attack, and surrounded Lu Rongting and his guards in the military government office.

The rebellion of Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin caught Lu Rongting off guard for a while, if it weren't for the desperate efforts of his guards to block the crazy siege of the rebels and the combat effectiveness of the rebels was too low, he would not have lost his life.

Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin's attack at the beginning was very fierce, and it was clear that they wanted Lu Rongting's old life, for the military government office that did not occupy a large area, Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin first bombarded it with small mountain artillery, and then launched a strong attack, wanting to forcibly enter the military government office, fortunately, Lu Rongting's guards were much better equipped than the rebels, and their combat effectiveness was also stronger.

The artillery of the Gui army was not much, and after many days of fighting, it was damaged a lot, and the current troops of Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin were all miscellaneous troops built by forcibly conscripting Raff, the quality of personnel was very poor, weapons and ammunition were lacking, and the artillery only had a few old small-caliber mountain guns, and there was a lack of shells. Lu Rongting was originally worried that these two armies would not be able to fight against the well-equipped Jiangxi-Guangdong coalition army in future battles, but now it seems that a bad thing has turned into a good thing.

If Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin had artillery, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the guards was, the military government would probably have become a blank slate at this time.

Today's Lu Rongting has been besieged by Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin in the military government office for many days, and has completely lost contact with the outside world.

At this moment, Lu Rongting remembered what Liu Guxiang had said to him before he became righteous, and he couldn't help but feel remorseful in his heart.

In 1913, when it was still the "second **", Liu Guxiang, the commander of the fifth battalion of the old league patrol in Liuzhou, and Chen Jiongming, the governor of Guangdong, met to revolt against Yuan. However, some of Liu Guxiang's subordinates were in favor and some were against. Soon, Li Liejun failed in Jiangxi, the situation reversed, Liu Guxiang saw that the situation was not good, and the internal opinions were not unified, so he hesitated about Chen Jiongming's appointment for a joint uprising. Some of his subordinates did not know the details, and they were dissatisfied with Liu Guxiang's hesitation, so they caused a mutiny, and Liu Guxiang fled at night and was found by Liu Zhenhuan, the gang leader. Liu Zhenhuan was coerced out by his subordinates to maintain order, declared the independence of Guangxi, and telegraphed Yuan. Shen Hongying then sent Liu Guxiang to Lu Rongting as a prisoner of war to invite merit, and Lu Rongting telegraphed the case to Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai replied and shot Liu Guxiang on the spot. Before the execution, Lu Rongting held a banquet to entertain Liu Guxiang in the Yuedong Hall, and showed Liu Guxiang Yuan Shikai's telegram to Liu Guxiang during the banquet, Liu Guxiang was silent, Lu Rongting also asked Liu Guxiang if he had anything else to say, Liu Guxiang's answer was: "Shen Hongying was pulled up by me, he can kill me today, and he can kill you in the future." ”

And now Shen Hongying's siege of Lu Rongting is about to punish Lu and then quickly, which can be said to be in response to Liu Guxiang's last words back then.

If there is a reason why Shen Hongying has a black hand on him, and Mo Rongxin, who has always been loyal to him, will also turn back, which Lu Rongting could never have imagined beforehand. …,

Just when Lu Rongting was anxious and hesitant there, a small cannonball flew into the courtyard with a piercing whistling sound, fell to the ground and exploded, the deafening explosion shook Lu Rongting's scalp numb, he fell to the ground and rolled under the table, and the guards beside him fell directly to the ground.

The shock wave generated by the explosion smashed the window lattice, and the broken wood chips scattered in all directions, and Lu Rongting was terrified at this time, for fear that the next shell would fly directly into the house and kill him.

It may be that the rebels ran out of shells, but after this fatal explosion, no new shells flew over, but the gunfire became denser, and it was clear that the fierce battle was not over.

After making sure that there were no more shells coming over, Lu Rongting got out from under the table.

"Tan Haoming, do they have any news?" Lu Rongting patted the sawdust on his body and asked.

"Nope. Checkmate. One of the adjutants replied in a hoarse voice.

"Where the hell are you going," Lu Rongting said angrily, "Hurry up and come over to relieve Lao Tzu"

At this time, Lu Rongting didn't know that Tan Haoming, who he had pinned all his hopes on, had fallen into the same predicament as him.

In the evening, another attack by the rebels was repulsed, and the bodies of the war dead were everywhere, and Lu Rongting, who had personally participated in the battle, staggered back to his office with a pistol.

Lu Rongting put the hot-beaten pistol on the table and collapsed on the chair, gasping for breath.

At this time, the gunshots outside the window had gradually fallen silent, Lu Rongting looked out of the window, and saw that his guards were almost all wounded, staggering in, bandaging each other's wounds in the courtyard. Although no one said anything at this time, Lu Rongting could still feel that the heavy and ominous atmosphere was suppressed in everyone's hearts.

Although the ammunition of the guards is still sufficient, and the grain in the junta's warehouses is enough to support a period of time, Lu Rongting knows in his heart that it is impossible for his men to hold out for too long.

Thinking that he had fallen into such a situation now, Lu Rongting couldn't help but regret it.

If you knew this, you shouldn't have listened to Sun Cannon's demagoguery.

With deep roots in Guangxi, he thought that he could rely on Guangxi's complex terrain, dense jungle and military support to block the opponent's attack and firmly occupy the southwest half of the wall. But what he didn't expect was that the opponent's strength was so strong, the weapons and tactics were so advanced, and his advantage, which seemed quite strong, was so fragile.

At this time, Lu Rongting's heart faintly gave birth to the idea of holding peace talks with his opponent. But when he thought of his current situation, he couldn't help but shake his head again.

Now, it's too late.

Since Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin have completely cut off all the external communication lines of the Guangxi Military Government Office where he is located, it is impossible for the current Lu Rongting to send a telegram even if he wants to send a telegram.

Lu Rongting understands that even if he can wait safely for Tan Haoming to come to relieve the siege this time, his days as the "King of Guangxi" will come to an end, and he will either go to Yunnan to send people under the fence, or simply go to the wild and go to Hong Kong to be a duke.

At this time, Lu Rongting, due to the cut off from the outside world, did not know that earth-shattering changes had taken place in Beijing.

Thinking of the bleak future, Lu Rongting couldn't help but sigh heavily.

The exhausted Lu Rongting's eyelids gradually became heavy, he closed his eyes, and unconsciously fell asleep.

In the dream, he seemed to have come to another world.

In this world, Lu Rongting actually saw himself standing in a hall in an army general's dress, his chest was decorated with various medals, and in front of him, Li Yuanhong, who was wearing a presidential dress, was applauding with a smile and the people around him, praising his .........exploits of "overthrowing the imperial system and rebuilding the republic".

Among those who applauded, Lu Rongting actually saw Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin

Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin were also dressed in straight military uniforms, and the two of them were standing beside Tang Jiyao and Zhao Hengti, looking at him with mocking eyes.

When Lu Rongting saw Shen Hongying and Mo Rongxin, his eyes were split for a while, he screamed violently, stretched out his hand to pull out the pistol on his waist, and wanted to kill the second thief on the spot, but before he could make a move, several officers rushed forward, grabbed him tightly, and tied him up with ropes.

"Let go of me, let go of me" Lu Rongting struggled desperately, but the rope became tighter and tighter, making him feel suffocated.

Something seemed to be tightly blocked on his mouth, Lu Rongting woke up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he saw several guards standing in front of him, looking at him cautiously.

Lu Rongting got up and wanted to stand up, but suddenly found that he was firmly tied to the chair by the five flowers

Lu Rongting realized what was happening, and was about to call for help, but found that his mouth had been firmly tied with a towel, and he couldn't make a sound

Lu Rongting struggled desperately, but he couldn't move at all, and he only moved the chair under him a little after a long time.

"Boss, I'm sorry for you." After a guard saw that Lu Rongting was indeed unable to move, his courage became bigger again, he helped his somewhat crooked military hat, stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Boss, don't blame us for being unkind, you have also seen it in the past few days, in order to protect the boss, the brothers have tried their best to fight with Shen Hongying's dog, and there have been heavy casualties. The brothers did their best, but now that the battle is like this, the brothers can't afford to die with you, don't you? Quite a few words"

"Boss, you don't know, do you? A lot of words Ganjun posted a reward over there, asking for your head, 50,000 yuan of ocean, that is the current ocean of white flowers, not those 'goldfish yellow' tickets that you have always made, the brothers are desperate now, you can't think of any way, the brothers discussed it, and simply ...... You are also a death, so you might as well contribute to the brothers, do you think it's okay? ”

"Boss, we can't help it, you don't know, someone came over there just now to report the news, and the Gan army will be there soon. I'm afraid that your uncle won't be able to come, and it's useless to come. His two hits are not the opponent of Xiao Yang, who is famous all over the world. ”

"Boss, I'm sorry, we're going to send you on your way, you remember, this day in the coming year is your anniversary. Brethren, you will not forget you when you have a good life in the future. ”

"Boss, don't worry, although Xiao Yang is offering a reward for your head, we will definitely leave you a whole corpse and not let your head move, do you think we are interesting enough?"

Listening to the words of these guards, Lu Rongting realized what was going to happen, and his body began to shake violently.

The two guards put a rope around Lu Rongting's neck, and then began to pull it tightly, Lu Rongting's face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and his eyes first burst into a burst of Venus, and then blackened. His body began to twitch violently, his urine and urine began to be incontinent, and the air in the room quickly became foul.

Lu Rongting's face became distorted, like a hideous ghost, very scary, the two guards who held the rope were furious in their hearts, and their hands were strengthened, and soon, a slight sound of bones shattering came, and Lu Rongting's body gradually stopped twitching, and finally stopped moving.

"That's it." One of the guards stepped forward to take a closer look, turned back and laughed dryly, and said to his accomplices.

Hearing his words, several other guards also came forward to watch Lu Rongting's death.

"Don't fuck it, drag it out to receive the reward, wait for the food," one of the guards led by him yelled in annoyance, and several other guards hurriedly stopped watching, began to untie Lu Rongting's body from the chair, and then quietly dragged it out. …,

Nanchang, Xinyi Hengqian Village.

At this time, in a courtyard, a group of militia was firing live ammunition, but the gun they were using was not a rifle, but a strange machine gun that had never been seen before.

With the sound of brisk fire, the six machine gunners were skillfully interchanging long and short bursts, and a dense rain of bullets swept forward, and the wooden target in the distance was quickly shattered.

A big man led by "Stop" burst into shouts, and the six machine guns immediately stopped firing.

"Good, good"

Looking at the machine gun with light smoke still emitting from the muzzle, an old man standing not far away watching the shooting clapped his hands again and again and shouted loudly.

"This 'fire wheel plate' is really powerful, it can be called like a rain of bullets." Niu Jingye, who was standing beside the old man, Fu Xiaowen, the patriarch of the Fu family, said with a smile, "This machine gun is much more powerful than the existing Makqin heavy machine gun. With this kind of gun, even if there are warlords and bandits who want to fight our money bank, it will not be easy to use. ”

"Looks like we've chosen the right person." Fu Xiaowen smiled and nodded.

"Sooner or later, he will find out about our actions." Niu Jingye said.

"Is there any news from the capital?" Fu Xiaowen listened to Niu Jingye's meaningful words and asked.

"The telegram just came, Yang Du handed over the power to Lao Duan, and wrote a letter to Lao Duan." Niu Jingye said, "It's just that the content of the letter is not clear." It seems that Lao Duan is asking Lao Duan to put national affairs first. ”

"This Yang Du is a nerd." Fu Xiaowen sneered and said, "Yuan Shikai chose such a person as the prime minister, it's not a bad thing. ”

"Yes." Niu Jingye continued, "Yesterday our people in Beijing sent back a telegram saying that Lao Duan was in contact with various local warlords to win their support, and that Lao Duan probably did not intend to take up any of the three positions of president, prime minister, or army minister after the restoration of the republic. ”

"As long as you can hold real power, it doesn't really matter if you have these Rausch titles or not." Fu Xiaowen nodded, "Lao Duan is actually a smart person. ”

While the two were talking, a tent keeper trotted briskly into the courtyard, handed a telegram to Fu Xiaowen, and then bowed and retreated. Fu Xiaowen took the telegram and glanced at it, and handed it to Niu Jingye.

"Lu Rongting was captured and killed by Shen Hongying." Fu Xiaowen said, "His Yang Hanzhi's luck is really good."

"I'm afraid it's not just luck." Niu Jingye smiled and said, "There is probably something hidden in this." In this world, there are no coincidences. ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid Tang Jiyao's fate will be the same as Lu Rongting." Fu Xiaowen nodded, "Yang Hanzhi won't give him a chance to join forces with Lao Duan to deal with him." ”

"The third master (referring to Fu Xiao'an) did a good job this time," Niu Jingye said, "If it weren't for that, Lao Duan would probably not be able to make up his mind." ”

"The third child did a good job this time, but there is also a suspicion that the edge is too obvious." Fu Xiaowen said, "But Feng Guozhang has not moved, so the problem is not big." ”

"If it is more serious, Feng Guozhang can be regarded as a person in our boat, as long as the third master's actions do not threaten him, he will not react." Niu Jingye said.

"There has been a mess in Hunan recently, I heard that Tang Tianxi is likely to fight the idea of Ganxi, you have to remind Hongru more, ask him to take strict precautions, and take care of Yang Hanzhi's backyard." Fu Xiaowen seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "His branch is now only himself, and he has been away from home alone for so many years, although he took the initiative to contact us this time, I am afraid that he may not be able to truly help us with one heart, so ......"

"This shouldn't be," Niu Jingye understood what Fu Xiaowen was talking about, and immediately replied, "It's for his own sake, at this juncture, he doesn't dare to completely ignore the clan." ”

As soon as Niu Jingye's words fell, the tent that sent the telegram just now appeared in the courtyard again.

"There's news coming again." Fu Xiaowen said, took the telegram from the tent hand, his eyes swept over the telegram, and his gray-white eyebrows immediately raised.

"It's really like you said, it is estimated that Tang Jiyao is also more auspicious this time." Fu Xiaowen handed the telegram to Niu Jingye, "This Yang Hanzhi, does he want to take Yunnan without bloodshed?" ”

Niu Jingye took the telegram and read it, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"The method he uses Yang Han should be similar to ours." ……，
