Chapter 5: Surrender
Huang Sanpao had no choice but to agree to accept Zhao'an.
Wang Dazhu, who was directing the troops to prepare to attack upwards, heard this and immediately stopped the troops. In such a dangerous area, if you only rely on the infantry to attack, even if you take it, you will definitely suffer great casualties, and since the bandit leader is willing to surrender, he is naturally happy to see it.
"Open the gate of the wall, lay down your weapons, and welcome our army up the mountain, and I accept your recruitment." Wang Dazhu's voice was not small, and when he shouted at it, the whole mountain echoed.
"Please withdraw the army to the bottom of the mountain first, and wait for tomorrow morning, I will clean up the chores on the mountain, and immediately take the team down the mountain to return to the imperial court!" This guy should be a Manchu Qing Dynasty, open his mouth, shut up the court.
"You are limited to five minutes to open the gate of the wall, and when the time comes, our army will immediately set up artillery to attack the mountain!" Like at a gate, Wang Dazhu still saluted first and then soldiers, he knew what Gao Quan meant, and he didn't really want to kill all the bandits. Since you want to absorb this gang of bandits, of course, you don't want to cause too many casualties, whether it is your own or bandits, too many casualties are not a good thing after all.
"This lord, may I ask if you are in charge of your family? There are hundreds of soldiers on my mountain, and if all of them join the official army, can they form a separate team? Also, what is the number of the adult unit? Can the supplies and equipment of our department be treated the same as those of regular officers and soldiers? Huang Sanpao climbed to the wall, chattered non-stop, and started negotiations with Wang Dazhu on the wall. Don't look at this guy still according to the old name, calling Lord Wang Dazhu and mentioning the conditions, but there is no ambiguity at all.
Wang Dazhu was under the mountain road, and he didn't pick up his stubble at all, but just held a big pocket watch with a steel shell and kept watching.
"You've got a minute!"
Huang Sanpao was talking energetically, the corners of his mouth were foaming, and Wang Dazhu's words below blocked all his words in his throat on the spot. Is the official army going to attack? Can't you? I've already agreed to accept Zhao'an, how can they attack again? Just when Huang Sanpao was suspicious and couldn't figure out the situation, with two loud bangs, two cannonballs shot up from the mountain, which hit the wall directly, and the wall shook twice, almost falling directly!
Huang Sanpao hugged the wall tightly with both hands, so that he didn't fall.
"Ceasefire! Cease fire! Huang Sanpao hurriedly shouted loudly, "Open the gate!" Open the door! After listening to the report of the little minion who fled back from Toudaomen, Huang Sanpao knew that his cottage was not an opponent of other officials and soldiers at all. The walled gate on the main peak is not thicker than the first mountain gate, and in front of people's cannons, there is no difference between it and the curtain of the broken door. Instead of being beheaded for public display after the cottage was broken, it is better to open the door and surrender to the official army, at least to save his life. Looking at the meaning of the officials and soldiers below, they just want to co-opt these people in their own cottages! Anyway, in the future, at least I can go back to the official army to do it, it's better than dying on the spot now, right?
The bandits on the mountain panicked and divided the heavy gate to both sides, and the entire main peak of Jinji Ridge was undefended.
As soon as Wang Dazhu saw that the bandits had opened the gate of the village, he immediately led a battalion of soldiers up the mountain road, and after a few minutes, he entered the bandit camp on the main peak of Jinji Ridge.
"My lord, I am Huang Botao, the owner of Jinjiling." I didn't expect this bandit leader to have such an elegant tuba, and Huang Sanpao seemed to be his bandit.
"Well, you stand here first." Wang Dazhu just glanced at him, turned his head and commanded his troops, "The first company entered the mountain to occupy various key positions, the second company searched the whole village, and the third company controlled the mountain road gate!" ”
With a few answers, the group of men and horses rushed over with a snort. Huang Botao was a little dumbfounded. This group of officers and soldiers seems to want to copy his cottage! wanted to open his mouth to protest, but when he saw the two guards with short guns beside the adult looking at him, the big boss of Jinjiling shrank his neck and swallowed back the words he was about to say. Anyway, I saved the lives of hundreds of people in the whole village this time, right? I hope that these officers and soldiers will not learn from Zeng Wenzhenggong, and after Shi Dakai was lured to surrender, tens of thousands of Taiping troops were all killed. If you get such a result, it will be beyond repentance, and it will also harm the brothers of the whole mountain!
After giving the task to his troops, Wang Dazhu turned his face to look at Huang Sanpao, "Huang Sanpao, congratulations on abandoning the darkness and turning to the light." From now on, you will be a regular soldier of the party-state! ”
"Rejoice and rejoice." Huang Botao bowed his hand, and he looked quite like that. This Huang Botao was originally a scholar, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he was also a showman, not to mention full of economy, at least compared to Wang Dazhu, who couldn't even read the newspaper, was much stronger. These two people, one is a talent who has read poetry and books, but now he is a bandit, and the other is a mud leg who is less than a basket of big words, and now he has become a dignified lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the government army, the reason for which is really difficult to explain.
When Gao Quan heard that Wang Dazhu had really broken through Jinjiling and surrendered the bandit leader Huang Sanpao and his 532 bandits, he was immediately overjoyed! Immediately ordered, on the open space of the independent regiment station, set up a big pot, steam the big white steamed buns, stew the meat, and wait to pick up this batch of recruits!
Huang Sanpao led his men, under the "escort" of Wang Dazhu's first battalion of soldiers, to the camp of the independent regiment in fear. Before entering the camp gate, Huang Sanpao even closed his eyes and quietly made a wish, if he was not greeted by a machine gun knife and axe hand who entered the door, he could pass today's hurdle, and he would definitely go to Wutai Mountain to restore incense in the future.
As soon as he entered the camp gate, he smelled a smell of meat, and Huang Sanpao was puzzled, when he saw a group of soldiers surrounding a young officer walking towards him. Huang Sanpao was full of suspicion, and when he didn't know how to deal with it, Wang Dazhu next to him ran a few steps forward quickly, "snapped" a salute, "Report to the regimental seat, the task of Wang Dazhu of the first battalion is completed!" ”
Gao Quan raised his hand and returned the salute, "Okay, Camp Commander Wang has worked hard!" Brethren have worked hard! After Gao Quan and Wang Dazhu finished greeting, he raised his hand to greet the soldiers who came back from the expedition, and then looked at the group of people behind Wang Dazhu, "These are the heroes on Jinji Ridge, right?" ”
Before Wang Dazhu could open his mouth to make an introduction, Huang Sanpao had already run over quickly. This old boy has a good brain, and he can hear the conversation between Wang Dazhu and Gao Quan clearly behind him. I knew in my heart that this was the commander of this army, that is, his future allegiance, seeing Gao Quan looking at him with his eyes, how could Huang Sanpao, who knew that the first impression was extremely important, not take the initiative? He's not a soldier yet, so of course it's inappropriate to raise his hand, and besides, he won't be? Huang Sanpao ran to Gao Quan's approach, clasped his fists with both hands, and fell to the ground, "Jinjiling Huang Botao see your lord." ”
