Chapter 165: Fishing for a Fortune

Hong Xiuquan, who was awakened by the sound of cannonballs, had no idea what was going on? The sword players in the Heavenly King's Mansion did not go out of the palace to support the superintendent Neiku and Jing Sixuan as the previous fleet accompanying staff group had envisioned, Hong Xiuquan stood at the top of the Golden Dragon Hall and looked at the superintendent Neiku and Jing Sixuan who were bursting with the sound of cannons, and Hong Xiuquan was anxious at this moment.

Supervising the Inner Library and Jing Sixuan is as important to him as his surname, but he has been a little nervous by too many conspiracies, but he does not dare to let the sword and card players in his hand out to reinforce the defenders of the Inner Library and Jing Sixuan at the first time, Hong Xiuquan chose to send a messenger with his edict to the three barracks near Tianjing to transfer troops into the city, so it can be said that the pressure on the two defenders of the Inner Library and Jing Sixuan is relieved.

In this robbery, which can be called the most daring robbery in history, all the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Empire who participated in the war burst out with the greatest strength in their lives, and even used the strength to eat milk to desperately carry silver taels, gold, jewelry, and everything else they thought was valuable and should not be left to Hong Xiuquan.

In the panic, the Taiping army's counterattack seemed so weak, and they rushed up again and again under the intensive shooting, but they retreated faster and faster, and the casualties brought by the Taiping army to the marines were even worse than those who sprained their waists and smashed their feet by carrying silver in the dark.

It is not clear how many things were moved, even the troops themselves who were responsible for the attack were not clear, but they knew that almost everyone was carrying their shoulders when they retreated, and only the 5th Battalion of the Marine Corps, which was responsible for the break, maintained the battle formation sequence.

It can be said that this robbery was not Zhang Yunji's temporary intention, but Lin Haijiang's deliberate arrangement before, Lin Haijiang is not a good man and a woman, Lin Haijiang is ready to set a fire to Tianjing after completing the rescue, and burn Hong Xiuquan fiercely, but in the process of execution, Zhang Yunji made a ghost to find Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan such a pair of talents, so the fire prevention became a planned robbery.

In order to rob the carriages and carts near Tianjing, almost all of them were secretly collected by Zhang Yunji, but this was only the beginning, because the Taiping army had calmed down after the initial panic, and Hong Xiuquan also realized that this was a small group of people who were doing it, so he began to try to send three thousand sword players to the rescue of the inner library and Jing Sixuan, and the garrison outside the city also began to enter the city at this moment.

Greed is always the biggest ill of human beings, in the previous battle plan the carrying process and time was an hour, that is, after an hour, the troops after the break would cover the retreat of the convoy, but the plan was completely invalid in front of the silver in vain, the carrying process was carried out for two hours, the result of loading was not to break the axle as the standard, the mule and horse driving was particularly laborious, and it was necessary for people to push the cart on the side, and the second battalion of the Marine Corps, which was supposed to defend alternately with the 5th Battalion of the Marine Corps, all went to push the cart.

Lu Wei is busy and anxious, the plan is good, the officers and soldiers who execute it are all good, and the discipline and structure of the army are complete, but do you want to give up the money that comes to you? Lu Wei also hesitated, and Lu Wei's hesitation plunged the broken Fifth Battalion into a huge crisis.

Before dawn can be said to be the darkest hour of the night, the soldiers of the Tianping Army swarmed out from the streets and alleys, and the sound of intensive shooting continued to sound, Lu Wei commanded the troops to use dense sectional, 30-degree angle shooting, according to the angle of intensive shooting, in order to make up for the inconvenience caused by the darkness.

In the dense fire, the screams in the darkness and the groans of the wounded were terrifying, and the artillery used the fastest speed and the smallest angle of fire to shoot all the shells to cut off the wave attack of the follow-up troops of the Taiping army.

Several times the Taiping army even rushed under the city gate of the south gate, but the fifth battalion's latest equipment of the large dogleg knife was cut down, under the cover of the fire at the head of the city, Lu Wei decided that the fifth battalion was divided into two parts to cover the retreat alternately, and fired signal flares, requiring the ships on the river to be ready to give fire cover at any time.

After leaving the south gate, Lu Wei commanded the troops to begin to maneuver around the north in a large circle, because their destination, Yanziji, was located on the Zhidu Mountain on the outskirts of Tianjing, where it was named because the stone peak was abrupt on the river, facing the sky on three sides, and it was like a swallow spreading its wings and ready to fly.

Yanziji always chokes the big river, the terrain is dangerous, the rocks are stormy and the rocks are surging under the rock, it is an important Yangtze River ferry and a military important place.

In order to confuse the opponent, because there were nearly 20,000 Taiping troops stationed near the north gate, the south gate was chosen as a breakthrough in the battle when formulating the battle plan, hoping to attract the other side to attack, so that the Taiping army would not take care of each other.

The new 7th Brigade of the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps can be described as extremely embarrassed, with a desperate cart in front and a shoulder on the back, nearly 3,000 armed sailors and more than 2,000 marines mixed together, and even the formation is somewhat indistinguishable, while the Fifth Battalion, which is responsible for the task of breaking the rear, is constantly blocking the Taiping army that is constantly following behind.

Although the new 7th Brigade of the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps is a new unit, its non-commissioned officers and officers are all experienced in a hundred battles and experienced in combat, and the lion carried by a sheep and the sheep brought by a lion are all a joke, and the new 7th Brigade of the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps is a large group of hungry wolves led by a group of hungry wolves who have been hungry for a long time. Unfortunately, the new 7th Brigade of the Imperial Chinese Marine Corps is a Type B formation, and although the non-commissioned officers and officers who have come down from the A Brigade have been promoted by two ranks, their overall treatment has declined, and the combat tape on their shoulders representing the elite of Class A has also been removed accordingly.

This is the most unbearable thing for soldiers, so they are holding back their strength to make a miracle feat so that the brand-new Seventh Brigade of the Imperial Chinese Marine Corps can step into the sequence of Class A troops and re-wear the battle tape.

Due to the heavy rush of the retreat, almost all the guns that had been depleted of shells were neatly arranged, and the constructed firing positions were abandoned, and the artillery of the 5th Battalion did not even have time to blow up these guns.

Hong Xiuquan in the Golden Dragon Hall after learning that the Inner Library and Jing Sixuan were looted, suddenly the six gods and no master turned pale, and sent all the foreign spear teams and sword players out, Hong Xiuquan had been worried that the opposite was Xiang Zhuang Wujian intended to Pei Gong, so he attacked the two places of the Inner Library and Jing Sixuan to attract his attention, and now it seems that he was completely wrong, and the other party's purpose has always been to supervise the Inner Library and Jing Sixuan, which are two places that extend in all directions and are heavily garrisoned.

When I think of my antiques and silver, poof! Hong Xiuquan spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the person instantly softened, and everyone on the side was crying and shouting.

At this moment, Zhang Yunji stands on the head of the swallow rock, which is one of the three famous rocks of the Yangtze River, and when the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors went down to the south of the Yangtze River in the early Qing Dynasty, they all parked their boats here. There is a stele pavilion on the top of the rock, and there is the inscription poem of Emperor Qianlong on the back below the stele in the pavilion. Every night or at dawn, the water and moon are white, and Chengjiang is like practice, but at the moment Zhang Yunji is not so leisurely and elegant at all, because Fu Shanxiang has not boarded the ship yet, only Fu Shanxiang boarded the ship safe and sound, his mission is considered to be complete, and how many silver taels, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings he grabbed are just icing on the cake for him.

Zhang Yunji remembered that before leaving, Lin Haijiang summoned him alone and said to him personally, I promised Fu Shanxiang to keep you safe whenever and wherever you are, this is a promise, although Fu Shanxiang does not necessarily approve, but as a man beating her husband, doing what I say is the foundation of my world, and I can't break my word!

Zhang Yunji naturally couldn't let Lin Haijiang break his promise, even if he tried his best to solve the problem, he would definitely not let Lin Haijiang's so-called dishonesty, but with Zhang Yunji's surname that Lin Haijiang was unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early, he didn't think that Lin Haijiang was willing to suffer such a big loss, and ransom Fu Shanxiang such a dispensable role with weapons and silver, and in the end, he was really angry, and he was ready to set fire to Tianjing at the risk of world infamy.

Zhang Yunji has always thought that Lin Haijiang is a person who does big things, and people who do big things will not be affectionate, they are often ruthless, Zhang Yunji believes that there may be some little-known secrets in Fu Shanxiang!

Under the cover of the roaring artillery bombardment, Lu Wei commanded the fifth battalion and the second battalion that rushed to reinforce to build field fortifications near the Yanziji Fort, and cooperated with the naval artillery fire on the river to relax the Taiping army's attack and buy time for loading plunder.

The sailors and marines who were desperately trying to load the ship on the dock were still frustrated that there were still so many silver taels that could not be carried, and the Taiping army's shouts of killing were accompanied by the roar of naval guns on the river and the muffled firing of rifles, and from time to time there would be a dense burst of grenade explosions.

Almost everyone knew that the sound of the grenade explosion meant that the enemy had approached the blocking position, and in Zhang Yunji's anxious anticipation, Qin Tianqiong and Zhao Fan finally arrived at the dock of Huiwan, not far downstream of Yanziji, with their hundreds of men and the military police search company.

Seeing Fu Shanxiang, who seemed to be much thinner, Zhang Yunji's heart was put back in his stomach, and looking at the firefight in the direction of Yanziji, Zhang Yunji said to Jia Wuji: "Commander Jia, can you let the armed sailors cooperate with the attack, and then answer Lu Wei and them to retreat?" ”

Jia Wuji glanced at Zhang Yunji meaningfully, in his impression, whether Zhang Yunji cut his braids or not, he was such an image, this image seemed to seep into his bones.

What Jia Wuji didn't expect was that this old guy had such insight and knew how to let himself send sailors off the ship to support, Jia Wuji, who originally wanted to do this, immediately organized the sailors of all ships to board the ship and assemble on the dock, for this moment time is life, all the third-class battleships have formed an artillery battle line, and at the same time of the shelling, they can also receive the marines to board the ship by fast rowing upstream, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The process of the battle was very handed, the Taiping army without much preparation did not have the strength to attack the field fortification, after several futile attacks, the Taiping army can be said to be full of corpses, coupled with the artillery fire of the fleet on the river, the Taiping army's offensive could not be maintained at all, and the Yanziji fort is a steep slope facing the river on three sides, and the foxhole set up on the positive slope with the second battalion of the skirmish trench from the dock formed a double cross fire, when the Taiping army's chaotic attack retreated again.

Lu Wei, who had a face of gunsmoke, lifted the stuck rifle and pulled the bolt several times, but it could be said that it did not move at all, and at this time, three green signal flares rose by the river, and there was still a trace of fish white in the sky.

Lu Wei waved his rifle and shouted, "Brothers! Withdraw! The reward for boarding the boat first is 50 taels! ”

When many officers and soldiers saw Lu Wei's movements, they immediately snapped their bayonets, but what they heard were the brothers! Withdraw! The reward for boarding the boat first is 50 taels! In such a case?

You must know that it is a big crime in the Marine Corps to escape and abandon the robe or even the corpse, the corpse and the wounded soldier who died in the battle have long fainted, and finally the wounded soldier in the exchange of fire in the next battle is also carried down, and now except for a few lightly injured people on the battlefield, they are all alive and jumping masters.

Lu Wei took the lead in taking the rifle of a lightly wounded soldier on his shoulder, pulling his head and scratching a little skin, and the wounded soldier strode up, led by Lu Wei, the second battalion of the fifth battalion at the bottom of the mountain rushed to the direction of the dock, and at the same time the sound of whistling shells flying sounded above their heads.

Lu Wei glanced at the officers and soldiers behind him and shouted, "Didn't you eat?" Let you run so hard? I'm going to go back and send you a chick every day! ”

The officers and soldiers below suddenly laughed breathlessly and said: "Chief Lu, don't be joking, you gendarmes are always arresting us like rabbits!" ”

Although Lu Wei pretended to be relaxed, he knew very well in his heart that at this moment, the stock of shells on the battleship was probably running out, how long could such a fierce shelling last?

Jia Wuji and Zhang Yunji looked at the direction of the dock in the dark night, and Zhang Yunji said worriedly: "We don't seem to have many shells for our cannons!" Can you still hold on until Director Lu and they board the ship? ”

Jia Wuji took a deep breath and said: "It may be dangerous, I have ordered a large ship not to keep the last ammunition bottom line, once the Taiping army enters the direct line of sight of the telescope, the ammunition bottom line will be all out, as long as we reach the sea mouth, there will be a main fleet to meet us!" ”

Sure enough, the Taiping army found out about the opposite movement, but they did not act immediately, because the other party's artillery fire from the river has always been something they feared, and when the shells that split the head and cover the face fell, the Taiping army, which had been about to move, immediately decided to use the method of outflanking, which was actually no way, not to attack, and not to really drill into the middle of the shrapnel, so the compromise was a big detour to outflank.

The night of turmoil in Tianjing is nothing special for Lin Haijiang, due to the backwardness of communication means, Lin Haijiang did not know that there was such a big change in Tianjing, the main reason why Lin Haijiang went to rescue Fu Shanxiang was actually because he was a traverser, because Lin Haijiang has been living for others since he came to this era that he thought should be damned, and for those guys he hated in history that he hated at all Ergin, Xia Bali, Bao Ling, etc., he killed first and then quickly with a smile? He was angry.

But Lin Haijiang paid clearly, he is not an invincible Hulk, Wolverine or something, he is also a **mortal, he also lives in this real world, the only difference is that he knows a little more about the future process of history than others, that's all!

Even for the sake of this suffering nation and the future country, he could not add unnecessary trouble and set up enemies for himself in the international community for the sake of temporary pleasure, because the Nineteenth World was an extremely irrational century, and this century was in the era of plundering wars in which the old and new imperial powers of the world alternately rose and vigorously expanded overseas colonies, and the redistribution of the world was the theme of this era, so there was no need for any mature reason to cause war in this era. Almost every country's vested interests see war as their only means of making a fortune.

Therefore, it is impossible for Lin Haijiang to be unscrupulously arrogant, with his strength, he must be patient, and endure until a very good time breaks out, such as a large-scale war!

That's why Lin Haijiang decided to take the surname once, in order to save Fu Shanxiang and save Fu Shanxiang, there is no reason, or do you understand that Lin Haijiang wants to do something for himself? Let yourself have a last name once? Lin Haijiang couldn't tell what he was thinking at the time, anyway, he was deceived from under his nose, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still owed him two million taels of silver on credit for weapons and materials, so Lin Haijiang, who was extremely sensitive to silver at the moment, naturally would not easily understand this matter.

Lin Haijiang had already planned, and after Fu Shanxiang was rescued, he would send a fleet to bombard Tianjing every day, so that Hong Xiuquan could not sleep until he vomited everything to himself.

Sometimes Lin Haijiang feels that many of his actions are very childish and childish? But he found that these games and child's play methods were very effective, but Lin Haijiang did not become too self-absorbed, because he knew very well that this was a kind of deterrence based on absolute force, which was the main reason why he had been reckless.

Just when Lu Wei was racing against death, Lin Haijiang was in a daze at Hu Weimin's report on the first phase of the development and construction of Hainan.

The main reason why Lin Haijiang is in a daze is money, his one-step construction is not gradual, you must know that the formation and development of things have certain physical laws, if you break this established law, then you have to pay the same price, the price Lin Haijiang paid is expensive, more than double the budget.

This cost is still affordable for Lin Haijiang, but Lin Haijiang knows very well that this is just the beginning? So in Hu Weimin's list report, he began to pick out unnecessary items, and the result of the selection was to add several more items...... Lin Haijiang was completely helpless! I need to make money! It is obviously not possible to throttle light, and the focus is on open source!
