Early in the morning, Yang Yunxiang's sailors had just driven away several British gunboats that were trying to enter the Yangtze River route under the pretext of increasing the defense of Baoshan City, and received a letter from the Taiping army's sailors.

Xu Zongyang, the commander of the Zhenjiang Naval Division of the Taiping Army, said in his letter that he had heard of General Yang's desire to serve the country, and that General Yang had repeatedly been indomitable in the face of foreigners' gunboats, which greatly shook the might of China. In order to wash away the shame of China, the naval division of the Celestial Army decided to fight with the foreigners, cooperate with the land men, and completely sweep away the armed forces of a foreign country. However, the naval division of the Heavenly Army was unwilling to use swords with General Yang in order to damage the general's image.

After reading the letter, Yang Yunxiang slowly walked off the command platform, facing the cold river breeze and the unbearable cold, he wrapped the black cloak on his body. The weather in Shanghai is really not as good as in my hometown of Guangdong!

Standing at the bow of the boat, he could see his fleet of sailors lined up on the river. He stroked the cannon beside him and sighed softly. He was never afraid of war, both to foreigners and to the Taiping army. However, he is not a brainless person, he reveres Lin Zexu, who was feared by foreigners back then, and is even more distressed by the humiliating treaties between the imperial court and the foreign powers. The Taiping army rebelled, so that the Qing Dynasty, which had been weak for a long time, was in turmoil, and he did not agree with this, in short, the weaker the country, the more bullied. Similarly, he was even more unbearable for the behavior of the group of people like Gilhanga and Wu Jianzhang. Fighting back and forth with the Taiping Army, whether it is a loss or a gain, it is always a matter of a pot. At this moment, the idea of disarming and returning to the field that had sprung up from time to time flashed again.

He was finally relieved, "Send a signal, all ships are assembled on Chongming Island, monitor the American fleet at sea, and make way for the Taiping army!" ”

"My lord, this ......" The squire who followed closely behind hesitated, as if he didn't quite believe his ears. He has been following Lord Yang for a long time, and he understands too well that the strength of the adult body, how can it be because of a letter today......

"I'll repeat it again, make way for the Taiping Army immediately!" Yang Yunxiang slapped the barrel of the cannon fiercely and roared loudly. Soon, he slowed down his tone again and looked up at the sky, "There is a British fleet on the Huangpu River, and the war may not go very well, they are needed there." It's better than giving them Shanghai than feeding the dogs! ”

"Well, you'll have to put a few shots, or you'll ......" The squire smiled as he turned his head to look north.

"It doesn't matter!" Yang Yunxiang smiled bitterly, "Then let's make a few shots." Yang Yunxiang gave up the Yangtze River channel, and in the later stage of the Shanghai Campaign, he led the Guangdong Navy Division back to Guangzhou, and since then he has retired to his hometown and devoted himself to the education of his hometown. Five years later, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government awarded meritorious service medals to all heroes who had made meritorious contributions, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government did not forget him and specially awarded him the first-class Patriotic Meritorious Service Medal. As a representative of teachers in Guangdong, he participated in the grand ceremony of the 10th anniversary of the National Day of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom together with all the model workers from all walks of life who were invited, and witnessed the magnificent National Day military parade that shook the whole world.

According to the original plan, Xu Zongyang and Tang Zhengcai's sailors were to escort Li Xiucheng's men and horses to land in the Wusong area and raid the concessions of Britain, the United States and France from behind. Yangzhou was in an emergency, Zhenjiang was facing a huge threat, and Li Xiucheng returned to the division halfway, so their task naturally turned to the second goal. That was to defeat the Qing army's naval divisions, control the Wusong Pass, and block the back roads of all ships in the Huangpu River.

From the beginning of his career, Xu Zongyang had a wish that he could not live up to His Royal Highness King An's trust in him. The Zhenjiang Huang Zilong incident has always been like a huge stone, weighing heavily on his heart. It is necessary to play with momentum and the majesty of the heavenly army, so as to wash away the past mistakes on oneself. Yang Yunxiang's wayway, in the order of His Royal Highness King An, had been estimated in advance, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth. This time, Xu Zongyang gathered enough strength to make the first punch that failed, and he threw all his strength at the Wusong Fort.

Under the cover of the fierce artillery fire of hundreds of gunboats of various types commanded by Tang Zhengcai, Xu Zongyang's nearly 800 small kayaks rushed straight to the river bank, and after several battles, the Wusong fortress was conquered in one fell swoop.

More than an hour has passed, and the three people who were locked up in the house, Ah Liguo, Ai Tang, and Ma Shali, still have no clear answer. The former British consulate has now become a concentration camp, with people crowded in the front and back yards, and more than 1,000 British, French, and American expatriates and prisoners of war are all concentrated here. Outside, piles of bonfires had been lit, and in the light of the fire, there were Red Army soldiers who were heavily armed and had cold faces.

It's already dinner time, and in normal times, they can eat delicious steaks grilled beautifully, drink all kinds of sweet wine, and show off their glory to each other in the vast sky. Now, they could only stand or crouch in the bitter cold wind, and let all kinds of strange chirps come from their hungry stomachs. The women were whispering resentment, and the children were crying loudly. It will be a night of horror that they will remember for the rest of their lives, and no one knows what their fate will be.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Yucheng felt a little uncomfortable no matter what, and at the same time, he was angry. The main force of the teaching brigade was already under the command of Tan Shaoguang, and Xu Zongyang, who had received the landing of Wusong, outflanked the northern camp of the Qing army from the flank, but he could only stay and entangle with a few scoundrels. He couldn't look down on the women and children who were starving for the winter, and he really wanted to rush back upstairs and teach the few sanctimonious so-called gentlemen a hard lesson.

Chen Yucheng paced back and forth at the gate so angrily that King An's horse team didn't notice when it came to the vicinity.

Chen Tingxiang looked at King An, who turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly smiled and saluted, and then stabbed the brigade commander beside him, "Brigade commander, Your Highness is here." ”

"Hehe, what do you think, so serious?" Lin Haifeng casually whipped the dust on his body with a horsewhip, and looked at Chen Yucheng with a look of chagrin with a smile.

"Your Highness!" Chen Yucheng hurriedly saluted and grinned embarrassedly, "Those scoundrels are still mushroom time." ”

"Yes," Lin Haifeng suddenly noticed that Chen Tingxiang was hanging with a white cloth and wrapping his old left arm, "What's wrong, what's the injury, isn't it bad?" ”

"He ***, was slashed by a foreign devil." As soon as the words came out, Chen Tingxiang scratched the back of his head and straightened his chest again, "However, it's not powerful, just a few days." ”

"Not great?" Chen Yucheng glanced at him, and then sighed at King An, "His left hand is gone, so he can't cultivate or live." ”

Lin Haifeng was stunned, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes. His lips squirmed a few times, and after a while, he sighed softly, "You, now you can finally find an excuse for being too lazy to do laundry." ”

"What's the matter," Chen Tingxiang grinned, "Your Highness, I've tried it all, riding a horse, putting a gun, this hand is just as easy to wield." He had a relaxed look on his face, but he was actually playing the small drum all the time. He didn't dare to cultivate, and as soon as he left this glorious team, he was afraid that he would never have a chance to come back.

"Okay, okay," Lin Haifeng agreed a little dullly, he gently patted Chen Tingxiang's shoulder, "This is your company on guard, right?" Then make do with it for a while, and go to the hospital immediately after that, and recuperate for a few days. Rest assured, I promise you will never leave the army. ”

After speaking, he turned his face to look at Chen Yucheng, "Have you eaten dinner brothers?" ”

"I've eaten, Your Highness."

"Today is the New Year, but it's a pity that our enemies don't call us to eat well." Lin Haifeng walked towards the gate and smiled again, "It's not too late to make up for it later." Don't you see, the people in the city are really celebrating the New Year today, every house is full of lights, everyone is smiling, it's so beautiful! As long as they are happy, we are happy even when we are hungry. ”

"What His Highness said is," Chen Yucheng looked back at Shanghai City, and then looked at King An, who was not as relaxed as usual, "Your Highness, there are many women and children here, isn't it ......?"

"I want to ask you, if we were to swap them now, what do you think they would do to us?" Lin Haifeng stopped and looked at Chen Yucheng with a cold gaze, "In Guangzhou, Dinghai, and Zhenjiang, they have already given us an answer. As he spoke, the horsewhip in his hand raised his hand and pointed to the black crowd, "They are human beings, aren't our fathers, elder brothers and sisters human beings back then?" We are soldiers, and we cannot have the kindness of those useless women. Today's results and sufferings are inflicted on them by the so-called noble gentlemen, and have nothing to do with us. Look at them, they are usually full of gentlemanly demeanor, but at the critical moment, they don't even care about women and children, they only know themselves. Chen Tingxiang sent someone to blast all the mongrels in the house outside for me, and told the women and children to go in. ”

"Well, besides, give the children something to eat." Lin Haifeng flicked his horsewhip, passed through the panicked crowd, and went straight upstairs.
