"Zhao Guanhou, the governor of Fengshan Mountain, is a hereditary first-class marquis, and the tin is named a good name and is the champion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info give Zhu wheel, purple pad, back pot, and enjoy wearing a dragon coat......"

This sealed telegram and the envoy sent by Yuan Weiting arrived in Jiangning at about the same time. Zhang Renjun and Zhang Yuan had also arrived in Jiangning, and 10,000 pigtailed soldiers had re-entered the city, but the military discipline was not as corrupt as before.

This is not to say that after this defeat, the Jiang Defense Battalion learned from the pain and began to rectify discipline, but that all the businesses and stores in the city have already hung up a banner given by the Shandong side, with only one line of words on it: "Hou Zhao, the first-class champion". Anyone who has this banner proves that Zhao Hou has a stake here, and if anyone dares to rob the property here, or kill the staff in the shop, the fifth town will not tolerate it.

Now in Jiangning City, the Fifth Town is the strongest, it is effortless to deal with the pigtail soldiers, and the gendarmerie battalion maintains discipline, regardless of whether it is self-army or not, those who violate the law will be killed. As soon as they entered the city, several pigtailed soldiers dragged a short-haired schoolgirl into the empty room, and as soon as she took off her shirt and pants, the gendarmes arrived. Immediately, these defense soldiers, including a sentry officer, were directly punished without interrogation, and their heads were hung on the city gate tower.

Zhang Yuan, who is the most protective on weekdays, reacted to go to Zhao Guanhou Yuan's door to ask for guilt, and after meeting, he had to follow the rules and give two kneels and six bows. From the commander to the beginning of the loss of courage, not to mention the soldiers below. Since these defenders knew the stakes and the stakes, they naturally did not dare to seek their own death, and their discipline had to be good.

And all the big mansions in the city with heads and faces are not mentioned, even outside the well-off house, the flag of the first-class champion Hou is hung up, and the camp has been drought for a long time, so he can only look at the flag and sigh.

The Ge Mingjun tokens issued by Chen Wuwei have all been exchanged for silver by Zhao Guanhou, and the common people have benefited, and they are all grateful for the benefits of the fifth town, and they have a very good reputation on the ground. The big gentry, either out of trust in Zhao Guanhou or out of gratitude to the Fifth Town, each took out a sum of money and took the initiative to deposit it in Zhengyuan, which was counted as a reward.

Coming with Zhang Renjun was the envoy sent by Yuan Weiting, and he was also his confidant Luan Tong Tang Tianxi. He and Zhao Guanhou are old friends, but time has passed, and there is already a huge gap between the two, and even when Tang Tianxi meets, he first has to kowtow and call Hou Ye. Zhao Guanhou stretched out his hand to support"

What is the Hou Ye or not the Hou Ye, when is it, it is useless at all. Now that I am a prince, it is also a false and good-looking, and I should not be hungry, so I should give a reward. Brother Tang, how is the war in Wuhan? ”

"You can't talk about war or no war, you know that the sailor rebelled in Jiujiang, but after listening to the information about the loss of Jiangning, the sailor took the initiative to surrender, just like no rebellion. Jiang Mian is controlled in our hands, and we are not afraid of the Ge Ming Party coming over. But what Gong Bao means is that Shao'an is not impatient. ”

The place where they met was the painting boat on the Qinhuai River, except for Tang Tianxi and Zhao Guanhou, there was no one else, and they were not afraid of leaking the news when they spoke. Tang Tianxi simply told the truth

"What Gong Bao means is that you can't fight anymore. Ge Ming's party wanted to give them a little power, so they knew how to advance and retreat, but if they were too powerful, they would beat people to death at once. The court has no town, and when the world is peaceful, they will not give up with us. Let me say a word, don't be surprised, your identity as a marquis is useless. What really works is the relationship with the palace guard, the two parties are both prosperous and lost, advancing and retreating together, I don't know what the marshal thinks? ”

That's right. My brother-in-law and I are a family, so naturally what he says and how I listen. If it weren't for the fear that the imperial court would have no foreign enemies and start to work against us, I wouldn't have put those Ge Ming parties back. ”

"Exactly, exactly. However, you will have to ask the Marshal to send a telegram home to stop your infantry mark. Probably you don't know that your first-class infantry in Shandong has already entered Taiyuan. ”

This telegram Zhao Guanhou actually knew for a long time, Wu Dingzhen parachuted into the sixth town, and he couldn't control the troops, and in the twentieth town, the reason was that the troops who followed Zhang Shaozeng, Lan Tianwei and others against the water were also very limited. The situation of the Beiyang Army is different from that of the Southern Army, its origin is a small station system, and its education is the word loyalty.

When the new army was reduced, the six towns of Beiyang were not affected, and the soldiers had neither love nor hatred for the Dajin court, and they had no idea of getting rid of it quickly.

What Zhang Shaozeng and others have is only some low-level officers and a very limited number of troops. At the time of the uprising, he did not dare to call it a rebellion, but still regarded himself as a Dajin courtier, and said that he was not a rebel and could only be regarded as a Qing monarch on the grounds that he had opened the National Assembly early and agreed on the country's rights, so as to appease the soldiers.

After Wu Dingzhen was killed, the so-called Yan-Jin coalition army was already disorganized, and a small number of Ge Ming soldiers tried to attack Jinmen, but because the troops were too small, they were defeated in the first battle. Some of the officers were arrested and handed over to the capital for processing, and most of the remaining Geming party members were forced to flee and leave the army.

Yuqing has already done Su Hanzhi's work, and Su Hanzhi, as the eldest lady, sent a telegram to Lu Bin, the infantry standard commander who stayed behind, ordering him to take the initiative to attack Niangzi Pass.

Although Lu Bin was not born in the old cavalry shed, he was a cadre from the artillery standard, and he was regarded as the second-level descendant of Zhao Guanhou, and he obeyed Su Hanzhi's orders unconditionally. Lead an infantry mark and set off immediately. In the area of Shijiazhuang, some of the soldiers of the Sixth Town were gathered.

These soldiers were coerced into participating in the uprising and preparing to attack Shandong, but before the troops could enter the territory of Shandong, the commander was assassinated. The officers who led the team fled in all directions, the troops were scattered, and the soldiers had no money and no food in their pockets, and they did not know where to go.

When he defected to the imperial court for fear of being liquidated, he joined Ge Ming, but he was afraid of hardship and had no plan, Gao Jinzhong, the special envoy of Shandong, began to work with the intelligence agency controlled by Shi Gege. First bought with a huge sum of money, and then promised not to kill, this army was pulled to the side of Shandong.

After these remnants were contained by Lu Bin's department, the strength of the troops could be organized into two battalions, including dozens of artillery and a formed engineer platoon (owed a shed), with these special forces, Lu Da's combat effectiveness was greatly improved. It was also supported by two 12-pounder howitzers and eight six-pounder guns from Shandong, and its firepower was greatly enhanced.

The Shanxi New Army originally had an association, but Yan Yishan was only a standard, and his prestige was not enough for the people of the association to use for his own use. After the uprising, he could not suppress the troops below, and many of the soldiers fled. Later, although the original defense battalion and local armed forces joined the rebel army, which increased the strength of the army a lot, the quality of these soldiers was far inferior to that of the fifth town.

A large number of old troops joined the rebel army, which led to a serious decline in the discipline of the entire army, especially since Shanxi was a rich province in the north and had accumulated a lot of money in the feudal treasury. However, most of the soldiers who are the guardians of this rich heaven and earth are poor. The long-term arrears and the deduction of food made every soldier full of resentment.

They did not understand why, in winter, the rich could wear grey-backed, silver-rat, or turnip-shredded sheepskin jackets, while they had only a thin clock; I also don't understand why the adults of the yamen, and even the clerks and officials can fish and eat the sea of meat, but they themselves have to eat millet with sand; I don't understand why some people have a group of wives and concubines, and they can still steal the girls in the room, and they can only let go.

When order exists, these grievances can only be stored in the heart and turned into curses. But when the order completely collapsed, these grievances turned into giant beasts, jumped out from the bottom of their hearts, and rushed to this ten-zhang soft red, vast world.

When the gate of the domain opened, and a wooden box appeared in front of the soldiers, the last of the barriers were broken by the giant beast. Ignoring their own structure and orders, the soldiers rushed into the warehouses desperately, desperately trying to grab the wooden crates full of silver.

The rifle unlocks it, and then goes to grab the ingots inside. Empty chests were discarded haphazardly, and the silver was stacked in boxes up to the roof. If you carry it, it will naturally move from top to bottom. But when it comes to snatching silver, no one cares about order, and everyone moves towards the chest that is closest to them and is the easiest to obtain, and when the box is pressed by a box of silver, they split the sides and dig it in with their hands.

Sharp wooden thorns cut through the hand, but no one felt the pain. The fine ingots were taken out and immediately stuffed into his arms. The people in the rear pushed and shoved their companions in front, and those who were far away squeezed in desperately, using all their strength to knock the people in front of them away.

You hit me, and the silver box on top of it began to shake, and a big man, because he could not get close to the silver box, slammed into the waist of the soldier in front of him with all his strength, and threw the latter into the silver box that had already been emptied.

With a loud bang, the chest full of silver collapsed, smashing the scramlers and a dozen of their companions underneath. Under the wooden box, blood flowed freely, mixed with the black wooden box and snow-white silver, and these dozen warriors became the first martyrs in this attack on the domain.

After a brief pause, the follow-up troops shifted their gaze from the blue uniforms looming between the boxes to the boxes. The wooden box broke open, and one by one the ingots rolled everywhere, emitting an alluring luster under the light. The soldiers glanced at their companions warily, and then rushed forward at the speed of a beast pounce, shoving the silver mixed with the blood and brains of their comrades into their arms.

The boots were mercilessly trampled on the hands and legs of those who fell to the ground. Those who are still alive let out a wail, but no one cares. The last man, seeing that he could not get the money anyway, quietly stepped back, then raised his rifle, loaded it, and held it flat......

Shanxi businessmen, who have been operating for many years, have accumulated countless wealth, and this time they have suffered a military disaster, and none of them are exempt from the famous families or gentry. The silver balls stored in the cellar were melted by the soldiers, turned into small silver nuggets and taken away, or pulled away by Toyo carts. Even in the inner house of the embroidery building, the screams of the women and the wild laughter of the soldiers did not disperse.

These soldiers had both money and wives, and then naturally returned to their hometowns to buy houses, and no one was willing to stay and sell their lives, and a large-scale wave of deserters appeared. Originally, the Shandong infantry standard, which was seriously lacking in special forces, only relied on a few artillery pieces and did not have much certainty of breaking the pass.

Lu Bin prevented Ge Ming's army from attacking at night, and confronted each other outside Niangzi Pass for a night, preparing for a night battle with a lot of lights. But the night was uneventful, and by the early morning of the next day, there was no movement in the Niangzi Pass, only the military flag swayed, and occasionally birds and birds landed on the flag. When Lu Bin sent a reconnaissance force to venture close to the reconnaissance, he found that the pass was empty, and the defenders had broken up last night.

Not long after Lu Bin's troops were stationed in Niangzi Pass, there were wealthy gentry and businessmen in Shanxi who took the initiative to contact the fifth town. They suffered from the chaos of the army, were unable to protect themselves, and had nowhere to redress their grievances, so they naturally regarded the Shandong army as a savior and took the initiative to invite the Lu army to enter Jin.

Military salaries, grain and grass, try their best to supply, send their own children as guides to lead the way, and even find out the good-looking women in the clan, and recommend the Lu army soldiers to sleep. What they are trying to do is to restore order as soon as possible and reduce losses.

When the Lu army entered the Jin Dynasty, instead of the dilemma of the guest army, it was treated by the soldiers, and the gentry of large households ate pot pulp to welcome the king. Even smoking Dingraff, there are also local inferior gentry and sticks to do it for them. The troops were overwhelmed, and Yan Yishan's troops were powerless to stop them, so they hastily withdrew from Taiyuan and went south, and established the Hedong Army of Shanxi Province in Linfen.

Lu Bin marched all the way into Taiyuan and gathered his troops, and there were many people who were obedient in various places, and the scale of his department had reached more than one association. And those rebels who fled to the countryside did not escape punishment. The gentry came forward to correct them, the infantry marked out soldiers to arrest people, and the heads of people were killed for a while, and the blood flowed like rivers, and the perpetrators who once relied on force to achieve their goals did not escape the fate of dying under stronger force in the end.

The gold and silver treasures they stole were not returned to their families, but were packed into camphor wood boxes with the seal of "Shandong Army" and transported back to Shandong. At the beginning, Han Zhi was also worried that the first group of men and horses would go on a lonely expedition and would not return, so he sent a telegram to inquire about the battle situation and whether he needed supplies. The telegram that Lu Bin replied was, "Our army is seriously short of supplies, and it is urgent to replenish a large number of wooden boxes and carts, otherwise the booty and prisoners cannot be transported back to ...... smoothly."

If this momentum continues, it will not be long before the whole province of Shanxi recovers. However, not long ago, Yan Yishan secretly sent a telegram to Yuan Weiting, with the intention of surrendering, and the lobbyists sent by Ge Ming's party to Yuan also offered Yuan Weiting a benefit, hoping that the Beiyang Army would stop attacking and wait for peace talks.

Tang Tianxi said: "The marshal Xiaochang Taixi allusions, if there are some villains who don't understand, you must understand." Ge Ming's party made a statement to Gong Bao that he would make Gong Bao the second Washington in the world and the first Washington in Asia. The little one is a singer and knows little, and I really don't know anything about what this Washington is. Hou Ye must know the meaning of this, Gong Bao and you are a family, the family must help the family, you can't dismantle the family's stage, do you say this is the truth? ”

Zhao Guanhou asked, "What does that brother-in-law think?" He wants to do this Washington? ”

"This ...... The villain can't say it well. Tang Tianxi smiled, "The little one is a subordinate person, everything can only be seen with his eyes, guessed by his brain, and he doesn't dare to make an assertion." However, Gong Bao had something to say, hoping that Hou Ye could return to Beijing as soon as possible, and together with Gong Bao, he would petition the two palaces. ”

"Petition? What would you like? ”

"The cabinet was re-elected, the parliament was convened early, and the palace pao proposed a plan to form a cabinet. If this plan cannot be passed, Gong Bao is afraid that he will have to resign and go into hiding, and as for the military on the front line, he will not be able to maintain it. When you arrive in Beijing, the position of this parliament will not be less than you, as for the war in the southeast. Gong Bao asked the little one to come over, he had to stop and stop, he had to tolerate people and people, please think twice. (To be continued.) )
