Obviously, Wang Sirui did not take the initiative to die, but gave those southern governors the opportunity to die. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After just half a day of deliberations, the most powerful business tycoons in the south came to an agreement.

In fact, it can't be said that it is fast, mainly because Wang Sirui has persuaded them to surrender in the early stage, coupled with the strong performance of the Han army in recent years, and many people have gone to the areas under the rule of the Han army to do business.

They have observed the people there, they have observed the commerce there.

Whether it is a common man, a merchant, or a merchant who has not yet taken refuge.

They all have to admit that the area under Wang Sirui's rule is the most ideal living area for the people and the most ideal business paradise for businessmen.

Although they may not get any policy support there, they will not get any government support.

But then again, with their current strength, as long as they want to do it, without the support of the government, and just by virtue of fair competition, it is not something that those small traders and hawkers can compete with.

In other words, the previous Wang Sirui still needed to use the tiger power of the Qing court to give orders, and make the move of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

What about now? When Wang Sirui had enough strength, the power of the Qing court was even less effective than that of the Han army.

The same is true for them.

After confirming that they wanted to take refuge in Wang Sirui, a group of bigwigs discussed some other things, such as the crossing of the river by the army.

This is not a trivial matter, and it is not only necessary to consider how the army will cross the river, but also to ensure the logistical burden of the army.

Although grain and grass can be supplied nearby in the Jiangnan area, it is not difficult for them merchants to do this, but the weapons and ammunition of the Han army, they are helpless.

However, fortunately, Sheng Xuanhuai has a lot of inland river freighters, which can solve his urgent needs, but after a long time, I am afraid that it will also affect his normal business.

……

Lanzhou Prefecture, with the 'fall' of Shanxi, in recent days, the Shaanxi and Gansu regions have also begun to panic, and what is even more unacceptable is that the prestige of the Han army has not only spread to the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, but even the benevolence of the Han army has spread throughout the entire Shaanxi and Gansu regions.

Many people went to Shanxi privately to look for the Han army, hoping that the Han army could move troops to the Shaanxi and Gansu regions as soon as possible.

And this sentiment is not only spreading among the people, but also among the army, and the idea of surrender is beginning to spread.

The people hoped that the Han army would occupy the Shaanxi and Gansu regions as soon as possible, because they could no longer bear the exploitation of them by the current government, and they saw the life of the people of Shanxi next door under the rule of the Han army.

Although it has not changed much, at least the grain can be sold at the normal price, and the people do not have to worry about inexplicable taxes falling on them at any time.

There are even many people who resolutely join the army, taking a military salary of two taels of silver every month.

It is said that after the end of the recruit training period, some soldiers who have trained hard and achieved excellent results will enter the army, and at that time, their military salary will be directly doubled.

And it doesn't matter if the recruits are not selected to serve in the army, they will be transferred to reserve service, and they will receive a salary of three taels of silver a month.

One month's military salary is almost enough for them to live for more than half a year, who doesn't want such a good life?

The money affected the people in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, and also affected the Qing soldiers in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions.

Look at others, and then look at yourself, they are all soldiers, and a soldier who is still in the new barracks of the Mao family can get more military salary than himself?

Moreover, he still has to endure the tragedy of being deducted from military salary?

The pessimism spread rapidly, the people had no intention of producing, the army had no intention of training, and some soldiers had even begun to plot to surrender the city.

Of course, I heard that the defenders of the cities near Shanxi had already captured the county order and sent it to the Han army, and the city surrendered, and those soldiers were also treated well, and everyone received a lot of rewards.

And this news also stimulated the troops in other regions, and the Han army began to calm down after controlling more than a dozen county towns in Shaanxi.

It's not that they don't want to take control of Shaanxi immediately, it's that the current forces are no longer enough.

Originally, the Third Army in Shanxi was still able to control Shaanxi with ease, but since it was transferred two divisions of troops, the strength of the Third Army has become somewhat clumsy.

Two divisions were responsible for the defense of the whole of Shanxi, and one division served as a recruit instructor and was responsible for training the recruits.

As more and more cities surrendered, Wuyang was a little uncontrollable for a while, and hurriedly sent a telegram to Wang Sirui in Beiping, asking for reinforcements.

Wang Sirui was even more depressed, he had just transferred two divisions from Shanxi, and he had just been put into battle, and the troops in Shanxi here were not enough, and it was not because of the war.

But for those counties that surrendered on their own initiative, Wang Sirui couldn't do without, and once a county surrendered and the Han army had not arrived for a long time, there would be riots in the city, and even more serious would even affect the reputation of the Han army.

In desperation, Wang Sirui had no choice but to transfer a reserve division from the Gyeonggi region and the Zhili region to temporarily supplement Shanxi, hoping that the input of these two divisions could meet the needs there.

In a hut in Lanzhou Mansion, several men in military uniforms gathered together to discuss this in a low voice, and there were several soldiers outside the door.

"Big brother, should we go and contact Han Jun first? Let them send some people over to support us? An officer said worriedly.

"The recent Han army is also thousands of miles away, and there will be no time for at least twenty days to come and go, what if Songfan finds out at that time? Aren't we going to have the chips to be rich? Said the officer, known as Big Brother.

"Big brother, I heard that the Han army has strict military discipline, and those who violate military discipline will be beheaded." The other said, seemingly hesitant.

", which army is not strict in military discipline? Even if we violate military discipline, won't we also be beheaded? The Han army is all for the people to hear, if we really commit a crime, as long as it does not cause public outrage, how can we be regarded as our own people? Plus with such a big credit, do they dare to cut us? ”

"No, I don't think we can put all the bets on Han Jun. I don't think it'...... like this," one officer whispered, and the eyes of the others suddenly glowed.

"Very good! Very good! So much better! Several others agreed.

"But we can't go too far, then Songfan has been the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu for three years, and he has saved a lot of money, let's just take a part of it, if the Han army doesn't get a penny at that time, it will definitely be suspicious, we can not turn the face with the Han army or not turn the face."

"Cheng, when the time comes, our brothers will each take one or two hundred thousand taels of silver, and the rest will be given to the Han army, so that they will have nothing to say."

"Little Liu, you take someone to search for the money. Lao Ma, you are in charge of the periphery of the Governor's Palace, don't let anyone else approach, Lao Tian, you and Lao Wang will lead people to slaughter all the people in the city, and I will lead people to kill the Governor's Palace, remember, no one will be left! ”

These people are the henchmen of Songfan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, among them, the eldest brother is the commander of the guard of the governor's palace, and the other three are the defenders of Lanzhou City, as long as these four people reach an agreement, then no one can escape in this Lanzhou territory.

That night, these leaders surrounded the governor's palace with heavy troops, and each performed his own duties according to the predetermined division of labor.

Immediately, the sound of killing in the Shaanxi and Gansu Governor's Mansion was everywhere, and there were painful moans everywhere, and of course, there were some other moans, which will not be described in detail.

The killing soon stopped, as most of the guards at the Doge's Palace had already defected, and the few who resisted were cut down to the ground after killing only a few rebels.

Some of the officers were allowed to enter the Doge's Mansion to enjoy it, and this 'pomp' lasted until dawn, when all the women in the Doge's Mansion who had just been pampered by them in turn were killed.

At this time, those people announced in public that Songbo had committed treason, and they wanted to remove the traitors for the imperial court and return to the arms of the imperial court. And as a reward, each person who participates in the removal of adultery will be rewarded with two taels of silver.

After pacifying his subordinates, these people came to the telegraph room again (for the time being, there was a telegraph in Lanzhou at this time), and forced the telegraph operator who had just started work and did not know why to send a telegram.

Although they are all soldiers, it is undeniable that there are still some capable people in them.

At the very least, this telegram of nationwide electricity is beautifully drafted.

Because Wang Sirui did not pull the flag to rebel, to this day he is still in the name of the Manchu court, sending troops to various places on the grounds of military reform, and even if he encountered resistance, Wang Sirui did not declare that the other party was a rebel.

Therefore, they naturally cannot issue this telegram on the grounds of anti-Qing.

Otherwise, Wang Sirui has not rebelled, but these people who have taken refuge have announced their rebellion first, which is definitely not what Wang Sirui is willing to see, let alone a reward at that time, they are also afraid that Wang Sirui will clean them up.

As for resistance? What are you kidding?

In this great northwest, except for a few guns in the governor's palace, the other armies are all big swords and spears, let them fight against the Han army, which is armed to the teeth and modernized to the extreme?

They even dared to guarantee that before the Han army arrived, they ran away one by one.

So, after several revisions, this power-on was officially released.

Recently, there have been many bandits in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, and the officials and troops have surrounded and suppressed them everywhere, but the limited number of troops cannot ensure the safety of one side, and I implore the imperial court to send a large army into the Shaanxi and Gansu regions to suppress the bandits, so as to ensure the safety of the place and the safety of the people. Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Songfan! ’

As soon as this telegram came out, the whole country was in an uproar, especially those in the southern regions, who were like sitting on the fire for a while, and they couldn't be impatient.

The Han army has not yet reached Shaanxi and Gansu, and this Shaanxi and Gansu have surrendered? And the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu is still full of people, what the hell is this going on?

Regardless of the response in the south, this telegram has indeed become the first region to issue a surrender telegram since Wang Sirui took power, which also serves as a good example for other regions. (To be continued.) )
