Chapter 47: Into the City
Updated: 202-04-
On the morning of 0/22/54, after the fierce Ming army broke through the city, it was like a bamboo, and it marched forward. Dinghai City was not large, and the Qing army had no chance to resist at all, and the few places of resistance that were like high ground in a flood were quickly swallowed up by the unstoppable torrent. With the complete control of the General Military Office, the three major battalions, the yamen of the department, the official warehouse and other important organs, the gunfire in Dinghai City gradually subsided. The sun, moon and red flags of the Ming Dynasty were all hung above the city tower.
Those stragglers hiding in the corner, took off their Qing soldiers' uniforms, and just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob people's houses and shops to get a vote. The reserve soldiers who rectified the order in the city had already been arranged in place by Wang Xie Tang, and all the rebels who took advantage of the chaos to loot were killed, and their heads were hung for public display, and some small riots were quickly quelled and normal order was restored.
The captured Qing soldiers were all taken to the middle camp and imprisoned, and the streets and alleys of the city were in order, and each intersection and bridge was guarded by two reservists. Ordinary people don't go out much, but there are a lot of people who open their windows to peep.
Bai Baoxiang and Qian Shuiting came to Wang Tiezhu's headquarters at the south gate, and Wang Tiezhu was ordering the Prince and Xuanwu to immediately withdraw to Mingxing Island through the radio. The battle at sea was over, and the two iron ships were parked in the harbor, easily shocking the world. There are many foreign missionaries in the Dinghai and Ningbo areas, and if the graphics are drawn, it will provide an opportunity for foreign shipbuilders to learn from them. The two big steamers were parked in the harbor, and the deterrent effect was strong enough.
"Lao Bai, Lao Qian, you came at the right time. The task of fighting the war has been completed, and it is time for you to sing the following play. ”
"Lao Wang, you guys are playing so well." Qian Shuiting smiled and shook hands with Wang Tiehammer warmly, "General Wang's command is determined." ”
"Old money, you're laughing at me. We have been looking forward to the stars and the moon for a long time, and we hope that you will come soon. Wang Tiehammer held Qian Shuiting's hand tightly, "The plate is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more things, and entering Taiwan is a systematic project, and there are a lot of things." Old money, we are liberated. ”
Qian Shuiting snorted, "What about Wang Xie Tang?" ”
"Wang Xie Tang is in charge of the security of the whole city, and he and Li Juesi have already entered the city with people."
On the way into the city, the three of them exchanged ideas with each other.
Bai Baoxiang, Qian Shuiting, and Wang Tiehammer decided to solve the organizational problem in Dinghai this time. The team began to be formed in April this year, and the team of the crossing group has been expanding, but the organizational construction has not been sound. Members of the executive committee, members of the front committee of the advance team, relevant representatives of various regions, responsible comrades of various professional groups, and officers above the platoon level of the military group all gathered in Dinghai in the afternoon. We must hold the party congress well in the evening, build a strong Chinese rejuvenation party, improve the party's organizational system, and play its role as a political core.
Qian Shuiting pointed out that there were only more than 50 delegates to the first congress drafted by Yunlan, and there are only 200 cadres in the Dinghai area at present. Is it possible to expand the scale of the meeting to all cadres in Dinghai, so as to make the first major resolution of the Baath Party more authoritative and representative?
Wang Tiezhu expressed hesitation, he was worried that if all the cadres in Dinghai participated in the First National Congress, the cadres in other regions would have opinions, especially the comrades in North America, and only Qian Shuiting was alone.
Qian Shuiting himself is a member of the North American Party, and he is very unimpressed by this. Qian Shuiting held that this is the founding of the party, which is a special circumstance, and there is no need to suffer excessively from gains and losses, and the number of people is too small to have authority. Besides, the stall is spread so big, there are points everywhere in the south and the north, it is impossible to hold a meeting of all cadres, a few people, or dozens of people hold a meeting, there will always be people who have opinions, so it is better to expand it. When the Second National Congress is convened at the end of next year, it will be necessary to follow the formal procedures, and all localities and departments will designate quotas and elect deputies.
Bai Baoxiang also agreed with Qian Shuiting's opinion, saying that it is possible to give a briefing to cadres who are not in Dinghai, and give full play to modern means of communication, so that cadres who are not in Dinghai can also express their views as absent deputies.
Wang Tiehammer said that he accepted the proposal of the two men, but he asked to seek the opinions of other members of the executive committee. "If everyone has no opinion, then go to the Zuyin Temple opposite the General Military Mansion to open a big one. The hall of the Great Hung Treasure of Zuyin Temple is enough to accommodate 00 people. ”
After discussion, the three of them decided that Taiwan should still be the general direction of the crossing group, and Dinghai was a military point outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the team could not give it up. Yun Lan and Li Juesi have been appointed as the chief and deputy envoys of Dinghai Xuanxuan, and they must awaken the people as soon as possible, win the hearts of the people, and establish a guerrilla base area.
The task of the advance team in the next stage is to formally form a battalion of army forces to prepare for an all-out attack on Taiwan. Bai Baoxiang unified the forces of the two time and space, and made good personnel and material and technical preparations for advancing to Taiwan. Qian Shuiting's task is to first build the framework of the Government Affairs Yuan and cooperate with Bai Baoxiang to make preparations for entering Taiwan. After taking Taiwan, the crossing group formally established a political regime to build and develop Taiwan.
The ships of the Qing army and sailors in Dinghai should all be taken away; The money and grain of the treasury should be removed as much as possible; There are still people, scholars, who will not let go, whether they are Xiucai or Tongsheng, all of them will be plundered. Although it is said that it does not consume too much manpower and material resources in Zhoushan, it does not mean that it will be handed over to the Manchus. When the time comes, a part of the coast guard will be left to harass the sea in the Dinghai area and sabotage the north-south transportation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Bai Baoxiang, Qian Shuiting, Wang Tiezhu and others passed through the south gate and walked on the south street of Dinghai. It is a long stone street, with shops on both sides of the street connected to each other, and there are all kinds of goods from the north and south, souvenirs, tea shops, restaurants, and snacks in the market. But now the streets are deserted, all the shops are closed, and there are only a few vigilant soldiers along the way.
Dinghai Xuanwei deputy envoy Li Juesi was in charge of political propaganda, and he selected some soldiers who could speak well among the recruits, formed several propaganda teams, and followed the siege troops into the city. Before the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the propaganda team read out the "Letter to the People of the Sea" along the streets and alleys to appease the people.
Bai Baoxiang, Qian Shuiting, Wang Tiezhu and others entered the city all the way, walked to the vicinity of the City God Temple, and Chen Sheng took a few people, holding an electric loudspeaker to read out the "Book to the People of Dinghai": "Fathers and villagers of Dinghai, don't be afraid, we are not pirates and bandits, we are the army of the Ming Dynasty." Two hundred years ago, our ancestors fought against the Tartars in Dinghai, and we are their descendants. The Tartars slaughtered the city in Dinghai and killed more than 18,000 of us, and now we are back. For the Tartars, we have national hatred and family hatred, and there is no forgiveness for killing; For the people of Dinghai, we have not committed any crimes in autumn, and we are tax-free for three years~~~~"
Wu Sheng has learned Chinese for half a year, and he still speaks with a mouthful of Fujian flavor.
Qian Shuiting shook his head, "It's so tiring to hear this. ”
Bai Baoxiang smiled, "Authentic fellow, our taste over there." ”
Wang Tiehammer, "This Fujian-accented Chinese language is difficult for the people of Dinghai to understand. The first siege, no experience, some details were not taken into account. ”
Here Wang Tiehammer made a bureaucratic mistake, preaching that there are actually other people, but Wu Sheng likes to grunt with this big speaker, and the reserve soldiers who can speak Dinghai dialect will naturally give it up.
Ding Dan is a teacher, and he likes to brainwash people in class the most, so he immediately stepped forward, "Captain, I am from Dinghai, and the Dinghai dialect in this time and space is no different from ours." ”
Wang Tie hammered a glance at Ding Dan, thinking that this Ding Dan could be of great use. Most of the crossing team are keyboard politicians, and the staff officers are casually excavated, and there are few who are willing to do civil affairs work. Seeing that Bai Baoxiang had no objections, he said, "Okay, you can report to Lijue Si now." ”
The three of them nodded to each other with Ding Dan's back.
Tan Ke fired several mortar shells, causing some damage to the front yard of the General Military Mansion. Ma Jia Zheng commanded Chi Jiangong and a group of soldiers to clean up the broken bricks and debris.
As soon as Bai Baoxiang and the others entered the door, Chi Jiangong's huge figure was dressed in tattered blue clothes and a hat with a chicken tail on his head, which was especially obvious among a group of Qing soldiers who were working.
"Ma Jia, what's going on with that Qing army official."
Ma Jia hurriedly came over to report, "Captain, it is the captured adjutant general of the Qing army, Chen Yu said that this guy is too fat, and he has to be let do the work first." ”
Wang Tiehammer waved his hand, "Go ahead, continue to do your business." ”
Qian Shuiting pondered for a moment, "It seems that the generals of the Qing army did not surrender to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." ”
"It's not for nothing." Bai Baoxiang, "Some ruffians and hooligans and other hob meat tossed back and forth on both sides of the Manchu Taiping Army. There doesn't seem to be such a thing that has climbed up step by step through formal channels. ”
"This kind of landless generals will die after they go back, and they can't do much work to support them. It's useless to keep it, kill him tomorrow, right? "Wang Tiehammer is very simple.
"You can't kill your head, if your head falls off, there's nothing." Qian Shuiting disagreed, "Keep it, that is, an extra pair of chopsticks, maybe it will be useful in the future." ”
The siege troops all gathered on the military field to rest. In the main hall of the General Military Mansion, Tan Ke, Chen Yu, Zhang Yuba and others were talking loudly, all of them were full of energy, as if they were eager to kill Beijing City immediately.
As soon as Bai Baoxiang entered, he said to everyone: "Comrades are very hard, and they all performed well in the first battle. Commendable. ”
"We're machine-gun mosquitoes, there's nothing to brag about." Wang Tiehammer waved his hand, "By the way, what about the casualties of the various troops." ”
Li Da said: "We have not found the injured yet. ”
Shui Wuxian told Wang Tiezhu that eleven people in the teaching company were injured by shrapnel, and several of their feet were twisted, so there was no big problem. Even the Qing army prisoners were wounded a lot, and some civilians were hit by stray bullets. Personnel from the health team have gone to treat them, and Yunlan has also arranged to comfort the people injured by stray bullets.
Jiang Li said: "When attacking the General Military Mansion, two soldiers were accidentally shot, and just now the ambulance station said that they were fine. ”
Wang Tiezhu's eyes widened, "On the way here, there are two stretchers for emergency evacuation, who of you just said that the Qing soldiers are all wasted!" ”
"There are always wounded in a war, and we can't be invulnerable." Chen Yu whispered his defense.
"That's it, you take the M6 and shoot desperately, charging in front. The fighters rushed forward after him, protecting themselves from head to toe, and they were not immune to injury. ”
Chen Yuteng jumped up and said, "Who made my rumors?" ”
"And make rumors, you still have a few bullets from your own M6 rifle. You can only be a platoon commander and a death squad. "King Hammer.
"Captain, you're not going to remove me from my position?" Chen Yu was anxious.
Wang Tiezhu ignored Chen Yu, turned his head and asked Bai Baoxiang: "I only care about fighting and killing, forgetting that I am a commander, this matter should be dealt with seriously." ”
"I'm suspended for reflection and confined for three days!" Bai Baoxiang's words changed, "But time is very tight, these will be remembered for you first." ”
"There you go!" He waved his hand, "Go and report to Wang Xie Tang, those Qing soldiers in the middle camp are all yours." Before dinner, the sanitary environment near the north gate and all the way to the Tonggui region was renovated. ”
"No problem!" Saying that, Chen Yu jumped out, this tough girl didn't care about being the commander of the prisoner camp, as long as she had a job.
Qiu Feng came up, "Chairman Bai, the prisoner camp is short of manpower, do you want me to help too." ”
"I'll go!", "I'll go!" ”
Jiang Li said coldly, "Captain Chen is not manpowered, so naturally he will draw people from our coast guard team to help, what are you doing to make a fuss." ”
Bai Baoxiang looked at everyone's enthusiasm and smiled at Qian Shuiting.
"Stop arguing." Wang Tiehammer was very angry, he looked at his subordinates, thinking that he had just finished the battle, and all of them had come up, and that tough girl was so easy to submit. He nodded at everyone, "Everyone fought well and was brave enough to carry the burden, but you don't have to worry about the prisoner camp." Time is very tight, the day after tomorrow is the second day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and we have done a lot of things, and the troops cannot rest yet. ”
"Li Da, I heard that some stragglers are hiding in private houses, you reservists, just work harder." He thought again, "But you can't disturb the people and search indiscriminately." Yunlan, the Dinghai Propaganda Envoy, is taking over the Yamen of the Dinghai Department. Let those officials take the civil register, and accompany you to search door to door in the morning, as long as it is found that the population does not match the number registered on the household register, all the extra males will be tied to the right camp, and the Jinyi guard will be stationed in the right camp, and let them go to the right camp for examination and screening. ”
According to the arrangement of the advance team's front committee, the advance team was stationed in the general military office, the coast guard team was stationed in the head of the army, the teaching company and reserve troops were stationed in the left camp, and the propaganda and consolation envoy was set up in the Dinghai department. All the prisoners were sent to the middle camp, and the empty right camp was given to Wang Xie Tang for their interrogation.
"The coast guard is responsible for cleaning up the city, and there are not enough people to go to the prisoner camp. There is no trace of water, you teach the company to hurry up and clean up the general military mansion, especially the backyard. The county lord of Anping will arrive in the afternoon. ”
"Lord Anping? Where did the county lord come from! The eyes of curiosity widened in the hall.
Bai Baoxiang, "We are the descendants of the subordinates of the King of Lu of the Ming Dynasty, and we went to take refuge overseas in accordance with the will of the King of Lu, and the Lord of Anping is the descendant of the King of Lu of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Wang Tiehammer accentuated his tone, "The county lord of Anping is just a foreign title, and he is also our cadre. As he spoke, he waved everyone away.
