The Chinese culture is broad and profound, and the difference between one word can not only live countless people, but also corpses all over the wilderness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info try to avoid, not too big a loss, every word in these words makes the gentry frightened, and their souls are scattered.

When they heard that Zhang Yuan was coming back, the gentry were even more frightened, and they almost collapsed on the ground and shouted, "The marshal is gracious, please take the life of a city as a ......"

When Zhang Yuan guarded Jiangning in the past, he was famous for treating everyone equally, and he was selfless with an iron face. There is no difference between people in deep dreams and smiling women leaning on the door; The gentry and good people, the peddlers and pawns, are also dealt with in two sections.

After the Songjiang Uprising, in order to prevent rebellion in Jiangning, Zhang Yuan ordered all those without braids to be killed. At this time, the mind is enlightened, and the people of Jiangning have cut their braids in a fashionable way, and there are both students and children of the gentry, and they are not afraid of the yamen. As a result, when they encountered braided soldiers, they were all killed, and then they were killed, and the heads of the people who were killed were rolling, and the corpses were piled up, and the women raised their bodies to Qingchi, and there were not a few people who hung their own southeast branches.

After Jiangning was recovered, Ge Mingjun sent troops to cut braids on the street, and more than ninety percent of the people in Jiangning City had already cut off their braids. If Zhang Yuan came back with troops at this time, the people of Jiangning would almost be slaughtered, and the women would not be spared. Even these powerful gentry in front of them are difficult to save the lives of their entire families and the children of the clan.

Originally, the gentry were still wavering, and now they must resolutely support Zhao Guanhou, Zhao Guanhou laughed and said: "Few, if you have something to say, I naturally know that Jiangning is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and there are many places of interest and historical sites." Personally, I also admire the scenery of Jiangning, and I don't want to repeat the scene when Zeng Jiushuai broke the city. My Anmin notice, several people must have seen it, if my fifth town controls Jiangning, and ensures that Qiu does not commit any crimes, fair trade, I will bring a gendarmerie battalion, and whoever dares to violate discipline will be killed on the spot, please rest assured. For now, I am here for peace, as long as Ge Mingjun can understand the righteousness and cooperate with my work, I think the matter will be resolved soon. ”

Zhao Guanhou's conditions have been prepared a long time ago, such as the fourth

1. The entire Ge Ming army is disarmed, and the Fifth Town has the obligation to guarantee the personal safety and freedom of these people. Among them, officers at or above the standard level may keep their sabers, officers with pipe belts and above may keep a self-defense pistol, and the commander's guard may remain armed, and the number of people shall not exceed 20.

2. Soldiers have the right to decide where they want to stay or belong, and no one can stop them from joining the officers and soldiers.

3. Those who leave Jiangning shall be issued a permit by the Fifth Town, allowing them to move in the southeast, but the travel expenses shall not exceed 100 yuan per person.

Fourth, severely punish the culprits of kidnapping Chen Lenghe, Chen Wuwei and Li Dawei, and transfer them to the Songjiang Provincial Court for trial and trial according to the crime of kidnapping.

These four requirements are tantamount to unconditionally disarming the Jiangsu and Zhejiang coalition forces, and Chen Wuwei must be held accountable personally, several gentry are quite embarrassed, Zhao Guanhou smiled: "If you feel that the negotiation cannot be done, it doesn't matter, I won't embarrass you." You each go back to your home, our army will fight with Ge Ming's army, and if you can't achieve your goal, I will withdraw......"

As soon as he withdrew, it was conceivable that Zhang Yuan's pigtailed soldiers would come to take over. Several gentry hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient, let's go and try to mediate with them." Your army has just arrived in Jiangning, and it is inevitable that it will be inconvenient to raise military supplies, so we will do it for you. ”

The local merchants and gentry prepared 50,000 catties of white rice, plus several thousand catties of meat to send, and the fifth town laughed at the rice and grain on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also prepared enough silver. Although there are official money tickets issued at the moment, the fifth town deliberately does not use it and insists on using silver.

Compared with Ge Mingjun, who uses military coupons for shopping, and Fifth Town, which uses cash to buy at a price, is undoubtedly more popular with merchants. Soon, there were merchants who spontaneously brought vegetables, fruits, food, and meat to the Fifth Town to trade.

Pharmacists carry medicines in horse-drawn carriages and come to Taipingmen to sell them. These excellent red wound medicines, which were originally listed as prohibited military supplies by Ge Mingjun, could only be provided to Ge Mingjun's side, but now they are in the hands of the Fifth Town.

Some of the soldiers could even recognize that some of the medicines were transported in boxes in Ge Ming's military quartermaster warehouse, and they knew that the quartermaster was making trouble, and they all discussed, "It seems that this time it is the right thing, if you stay there, there will be no good fruit to eat." ”

By the afternoon, the area around Taipingmen had become a lively market town, and a large number of merchants came to transport supplies and exchange them for silver. More than 2,000 soldiers were paid, all of whom were paid three months' salaries, and their pockets were rich, so that the money was also generous. There are also a group of Pingkang women with heavy makeup and bright makeup, who came by incense car to soothe the tired hearts of these soldiers.

On the contrary, Ge Mingjun's main government was lifeless, not only did not merchants care about it, but even normal military expenses were a big problem. As soon as they advanced and retreated, the merchants all went to the fifth town to do business, and the coalition forces could not buy much supplies. The foreigners' warships locked the waterways again, and materials from other cities could not be transported in, so there was really a tendency to sit in the city of sorrow.

Telegrams requesting help from Cheng Quande, the overseer of Jiangsu, and Li Huangpo of Wuchang have already been sent, but the effect is not yet available. The elites of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are all in Jiangning, and even if the follow-up troops come, they are not as capable of fighting as the current troops.

In addition, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces either rely on foreign procurement or rely on the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau for assistance, and their own arms manufacturing capacity is extremely poor. Now that the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is back under the control of officers and soldiers, it is natural that there is no hope for it. Albion was also hostile to the Ge Ming army, forbidding his country to trade with the Ge Ming army, and at the same time blocking the waterways and strictly checking the arms.

The two provinces could only purchase smuggled arms from Fusang at extremely high prices, which not only cost a lot of money, but also had an extremely limited quantity, which had a very negative impact on the formation of reinforcements.

The battle between Hubei and the Beiyang Army was not smooth, and the three towns of Wuhan and two towns had been lost, leaving only one Wuchang. Although Huang Changjie, the first cadre of the Xingzhong Association, personally commanded in Wuhan, he was also defeated and fought repeatedly, and it was difficult to reverse the overall situation. The Hunan army aided Hubei, but it did not affect the war situation. At the same time, great changes have also taken place in Hunan.

The two people of Hunan Ge Mingjun, Jiao and Chen, are disciples of Hongmen, and they are also young, and their qualifications are not enough to command the heroes. Since he became the governor, each person has been draped with a white ribbon obliquely, with the words "Governor Zhengdu" and "Deputy Governor" written on it, and the big seal of the Governor's Mansion is covered below.

The brothers in Hongmen knew that their fellow disciples had become governors, so they came to share the blessings, set up camp in the governor's mansion, and cooked in pots. The Governor's Mansion holds flowing water mats all day long, people come and go, and they all ask to be resettled, and they return to their hometowns to be county magistrates and commanders. Less unsatisfactory, that is, yelling, saying that the governor is not righteous.

This cadre had to hold 400 tables of flowing water in the governor's palace every day, and hang a white ribbon on his body, and the clerk wrote the official title, and draped it diagonally. Later, when there were more and more people, the clerk was too busy, so he got some white ribbons and stamped them and hung them there.

The only shop in Changsha that sells command knives, all the stocks are sold out, and people on the street are all hanging command knives. Some of them wore military uniforms, some wore night clothes, and some wore the outfits of Wu Song in the troupe, all of which were regarded as Han official prestige.

These people open incense halls on the streets, scatter the bottom of the sea, and even gather gambling and robbery during the day, and no one can control them. Another Hunan bigwig, Tan Renfeng, was proud of his high rank in Hongmen and was the master of Wolong Mountain, and he wanted to speak up, but he almost ate fried eggs.

The new army recruited by Hunan is also very lax, with good manners and rules, which is easier to use than military ranks and ranks. Even if the officer cannot command the soldiers, it is difficult for the superior to restrain the subordinate, unless the gang family law is invited. Even after a recruit joins the army, he reads a book in the barracks every day, and no one cares.

Originally, Hunan had a new army and an association, and because of the expansion of the army, there are already several towns, but no one knows how many actual troops there are, and Hunan's official funds have been exhausted by these empty commanders.

With such military discipline, the division that aided Hubei naturally had no way to look forward to, and Jiangning could not be counted on to break the siege. Jiangxi's Ge Ming army, because Jiujiang Ma Yubao and Nanchang Wu Jiezhang could not tolerate each other, Ma Yubao waved his army to drive Wu, Jiangxi fell into war and chaos, and he was powerless to take care of each other.

Reinforcements are not expected, but the current crisis must be resolved. The hope of solving the problem now is actually in the Yan-Jin coalition army, as long as there is a problem in Shandong, Zhao Guanhou will be a result of not being able to advance or retreat. But if he takes Jiangning and sweeps Jiangsu, it will not be possible for the two to fall into each other, and it may not necessarily collapse.

At present, it is a matter of who can hold on better, and if the peace can be maintained, it seems to be more beneficial to Ge Mingjun. However, the powerful gentry in the local area have already given up on Ge Ming's army, which has actually forced Ge Ming's army into an extremely dangerous situation.

As a subordinate soldier, the ninth town, for the purpose of protecting Sangzi from poison, has accepted the conditions and laid down his arms, and the situation of the coalition army has become more and more difficult.

The quartermaster came twice, both to ask the commander for a way, and there was not much left of the military rations, and after dinner, he could only drink porridge tomorrow morning. Jiangning originally had a lot of grain in stock, but the defenders of several large granaries turned against and transported the grain to the fifth town, and based on the ceasefire agreement, the foreigners did not allow the coalition forces to stop it, which made Lin Shuqing very anxious.

He drank half a bottle of wine in frustration, and ordered the guards, "Bring the chief of staff, I have to discuss it with him." ”

The orderly went for about fifteen minutes, and suddenly ran back in a panic, "Governor, the big thing is not good, the chief of staff was arrested by the people of the Shanghai army, saying that he was a spy ......"

On the Qinhuai River, a painting boat runs along the water, Zou Xiurong, Meng Siyuan, Chen Lenghe, Sun Meiyao, and Zhao Guanhou sit opposite each other on the boat. On the ten miles of Qinhuai, Gu Panying, a newly rising beauty, played the pipa and cheered in front of the banquet.

Although Jiangning is connected with arms, the Ge Ming party members do not care whether they are a new army or a party, they all have rules that do not hurt the people in the flower world, ten miles of Qinhuai, and the scenery is still the same. It's just that some Qing people have to be red people and light big candles with Ge Ming's upstarts, and nothing else has an impact.

Gu Panying is well-informed and experienced, and has seen a lot of women's bordered tea circles. But I haven't seen a tea circle like this with his wife. On the one hand, I admired the men on both sides, who were mavericks and were not bound by secular etiquette, and on the other hand, I also knew that tonight, there would never be anything to extinguish the candle and leave a beard, and I did not show off my own style, but only concentrated on playing the pipa and singing a pearl tower.

On this occasion, Cheng Yue will not come to death, when Sun Meiyao walks the rivers and lakes, women dress up as men, and they don't go to the Ji Yuan to talk about things, or grab meat tickets, it's not strange. Not only did he not have any restraints, but he teased Gu Panying and asked, "Do you think I like it or not?" If I like, I'll stay on your ship tonight. Come, let me smell your face, and I'll give you something good. ”

Zhao Guanhou patted her on the head, "Don't mess around, the second brother and sister-in-law are laughing at you." ”

Sun Meiyao looked at Chen Lenghe, "With this Mrs. Songjiang here, there is nothing to do with us, I have to find some fun for myself." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, everyone treats everyone equally, there is no difference between superior and inferior, you don't make trouble."

Zhao Guanhou turned around and raised his glass to Meng Siyuan, "Second brother, see and smile." This time, you have eaten a few days in prison for the sake of cold lotus, which really makes me a little unhappy, this glass of wine, I respect you. ”

Meng Siyuan smiled bitterly, "I actually didn't suffer much, everyone is a comrade, he won't do anything to me." It's just that Wuwei's actions this time are too reckless, and after I see Mr. Sun, I will definitely fight on the basis of reason, state the facts, and let Mr. uphold justice for us, and we can't let him do whatever he wants. ”

At present, Ge Mingjun suffered a great setback, and Meng Siyuan was released to serve as a representative of the peace talks and negotiate with Zhao Guanhou. This trip to Qin Huai was the result of Zhao Guanhou's request.

This is also the wish he made like Chen Lenghe at the beginning, and now he is fulfilling it in this way. It is said that this is still the sphere of influence of Ge Mingjun's power, and if you want to cause harm, or bombard with guns and cannons, or send troops to arrest people, it will be a big disaster.

The current situation is just the opposite, it is Ge Mingjun who is worried about the accident, and it is Zhao Guanhou who has no fear. Not to mention the ubiquitous guard battalion, judging from the situation in the city, once Ge Ming's army broke the rules and attacked Zhao Guanhou, the next moment, there was a danger of annihilation.

Albiang's fleet was eyeing the Yangtze River, and the officers and men of the Fifth Town, who had landed on Songjiang, had already set out from Songjiang and reached Jiangyin. The defenders of Jiangyin, which was originally the defense camp that surrendered after Ge Ming, now surrendered again and returned to the Beiyang soldiers, and the entire Jiangning army has been strategically encircled. Lack of grain and grass, foreign aid was cut off, and the powerful local gentry had given up their support for Ge Ming's army and turned to collude with the official army.

In this case, as long as the Fifth Town finds the truth, it can immediately strike a thunderous blow at Ge Ming's army. The most terrifying thing is that the leader of Ge Ming's army, Dr. Sun Emperor Xiang, has already taken a boat from Yangji to Jiangning, preparing to establish the Gonghe Zhengfu.

If the peace talks cannot be successfully completed before the arrival of Sun Dixiang, it is equivalent to Sun Dixiang's comrades digging a pit and burying their own leader. No one can afford this responsibility, and Meng Siyuan has changed from black to red, which is the reason.

The conditions for negotiation between the two sides are also very simple, as long as Jiangning can be fully owned, everything else is negotiable. The alliance under the city, no matter what it takes, if Zhao Guanhou's Beiyang soldiers can defect to Ge Ming, the commander-in-chief will be waiting for a vacant position, and in the future, they will be united, and the post of minister of war will no longer be thought of by others.
