Chapter 119: Arriving at Guangxi Mansion

Green, as the commander of the British Northern Expedition this time, is really very energetic at the moment, and feels that the whole world is his own. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Green then began to arrange for the recent looting of gold, silver, and jewels to be delivered to India as soon as possible, lest there be long nights.

Green is ambitious in his heart, and he must make a career in Huaxia to enhance his influence in China.

The five thousand forwards of the British army have already entered the Guangxi Province, or rather, this is the army that Green is going to use to capture the Guangxi Province and the Guangnan Province, and he will only sit in the Yunnan Province to collect the fruit.

In fact, in his heart, Green already thought that the people of Yunnan had been frightened by the army led by him, and they did not dare to stop them in the slightest, and the 5,000 army went to capture other places, and Green felt that it was a little redundant.

Leading the 5,000 British troops on this expedition was a Brigadier General named Wright, who was now a British general in India, and at the same time a very arrogant man. Such a general commanding a soldier is a terrible thing in itself.

Guangxi and other provinces in Yunnan, many mountains and water, in fact, Yunnan is indeed a very good place, almost all in the summer, although rainy and high-temperature, but not very hot, many people still like Yunnan very much.

At this time, Li Zhongju led the Independent Regiment and the First Brigade, as well as the 5,000-strong army temporarily mobilized from Guangxi Province, and had officially entered Guangxi Province.

The moment they entered Guangxi Mansion, everyone was unnaturally vigilant, which may have been specially cultivated by Li Zhongju.

But after walking for more than ten miles, everyone immediately found that this place was not suitable for a large army at all, and hundreds or thousands of people were the most suitable.

Li Zhongju immediately ordered Liu Jiang's 1st Brigade to organize its own actions with regiments and battalions as units, and the Independent Regiment to organize operations with battalions as units. As for the troops transferred from Guangxi Province, they also acted independently.

However, Li Zhongju has equipped all the armies that operate independently with special radio stations, and if any army needs support, or asks for instructions from superiors or accepts orders from superiors, all of them can use the radio.

Li Zhongju, Liu Jiang and Zhou Tiezhu watched the group of soldiers leave quickly but confidently, although there were worries in their hearts, but more than anything else, they were looking forward to it.

After all, our army is blocked by roads and natural environment, and the enemy army will do the same, unless they stay in the city all the time, but this is absolutely impossible.

Because the main task of the British army was to occupy various places and loot wealth at the same time. This required them to go out of the city, or organize some local people, knowing that many landlords in this era had forts in the countryside.

In these forts, however, the savings of these landlords for decades, if not centuries, are stored. They are all very powerful families, and the power of these families cannot be looked at directly.

Therefore, the British army could only send a lot of troops, coercing and luring many landlord families along the way, and even attacking the fortress directly, of course, their harvest was also very rich.

British Brigadier General Wright, who led the army at this time, had come to the city of Guangxi, looking at this relatively tall city, Wright immediately seemed to see countless gold rushing towards him, and he was looking forward to it.

Although along the way, Wright also looted tens of thousands of gold, but Wright was not very satisfied, it used to be tens of millions, hundreds of millions of taels of real money, but now he only got a few thousand taels, how could he be willing in his heart?

Wright looked at these ordinary soldiers under his command, and a lot of pride suddenly rose in his heart, haha, there are so many soldiers here, what can't be done. As long as you take this city in the bag, Guangxi Fucheng, you can definitely get a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

All the soldiers were very excited, they were about to capture a Qing capital city again, and they could loot in the city to fill their pockets, how wonderful it would be.

The governor of Guangxi Prefecture stood on the city wall with a pale face, looking at the thousands of neatly dragging you two or three miles away, his heart was filled with countless panics, and the soldiers behind him were even more trembling with their legs, and they couldn't stand up straight.

Isn't this a joke for the British army, in fact, the British army has become accustomed to it, and in the eyes of the British army, most of the Qing army is also like this, and the British army is already immune.

At this time, the British soldiers only waited for their general Wright to give the order, and they would pounce on them like wolves and bite the Qing army. They will take the capital city of Guangxi in an instant.

But Brigadier General Wright did not give the order immediately, he liked to see the frightened appearance of the Qing army, which made people feel extremely funny.

Wright gave the binoculars to an adjutant beside him, and asked the adjutant to see the sad scene of the Qing army, and the adjutant was of course very happy. Although the adjutant had his own telescope, he was still very polite to the telescope handed by Brigadier General Wright, and picked it up to observe.

At the same time, Wright ordered all the soldiers to rest, prepare to recuperate, and capture the capital city of Guangxi in one fell swoop, so that the soldiers could plunder it, after all, after several hours of marching, many soldiers were already a little tired.

But what Wright didn't expect was that it was precisely because of this delay that he completely lost the best opportunity to attack the capital city of Guangxi.

Half an hour later, three thousand town troops came to the east gate of the capital city of Guangxi, and as Li Zhongju asked Zhou Tiezhu to reveal his identity, the Qing army immediately opened the city gate.

Originally, the speed of Li Zhongju and the others was not so fast, but when they sensed the situation in the capital of Guangxi, they ordered a rapid march here, and at the same time, Li Zhongju gave an order to a part of the other troops to let them quickly come to the capital of Guangxi to gather.

Guangxi Fucheng is built in a relatively flat place, the city is larger, from the west to continue to advance, only through the Guangxi Fucheng, of course, from the east is also the same.

So this leads to the current situation. When Li Zhongju's army entered the city, all the citizens who saw it felt as if they were in a dream, but when they saw that the army had not harassed them in any way, they all let out a long breath.

At the same time, these residents also have a certain recognition of Li Zhongju's army from their hearts. Subsequently, Li Zhongju ordered the news to be blocked, and at the same time let the independent regiment control the East City Gate and keep a close eye on the arrival of other troops.

Zhenwu Jun was all very excited, because they could fight again, they could get the commander's commendation again, and they could fight foreign devils.

They all secretly swore in their hearts that this time they must let the foreign devils see their strength and beat the foreign devils.

Half an hour ago, the governor of Guangxi Prefecture was relieved to see that the British army was not preparing to attack, and at the same time rushed back to the prefecture and prepared to flee from Guangxi Prefecture.
