Chapter 67: Night Attack on Crossing the River

What is surprising is that Master Xia, who has always been-for-tat with Chen Zikun, also accepted the IOU, and the five thousand oceans were swept away in this way, and in an instant, the old man seemed to be ten years old, and all the arrogance and arrogance of the past have become a thing of the past.

Because, Nantai County came to a military envoy who was ten times more arrogant and domineering than him.

The heroes who dare to stick to the lonely city with their own strength, resist thousands of bandits, dare to go deep into the bandit cave single-handedly, collect the poles, and disarm all the friendly regiments with thunderous means is comparable to Xia Dalong's generation.

Everyone was excited, the wine was not ready to drink, Master Gong took the lead in saying goodbye, Chen Zikun knew that they were all scared today, and they needed to go home to recuperate, and they didn't force them to stay, in fact, he wished that these people would get out of here, a lot of cash and foreign goods were in hand, and he hadn't ordered them in person.

The gentry said goodbye one after another, and when Xia Dalong went downstairs, Chen Zikun also personally helped him, showing the love of the people of the military envoy, and when the people were finished, Boss Lin arranged for Xiao Er to change a few sets of greetings, add wine and return to the lamp to reopen the banquet.

At this time, it was already dawning, and Nantai County was shrouded in a hazy and peaceful moonlight, Chen Zikun was not allowed to sit on the chairman, County Magistrate Liu, Chief of Staff Yan, Staff Officer Gong, Chen Shou, the commander of the first battalion, and the three company commanders under him sat on the table, and Boss Lin sent Xiao Er and personally poured wine and served.

"Boss Lin, you can sit too, you're welcome." Chen Zikun greeted.

Boss Lin hurriedly humbled: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Chen Zikun said with a smile: "Boss Lin's ancestral sweat medicine is very powerful, and the technology of medicine is also first-class, dare to ask, what did your ancestors do?" ”

Boss Lin was covered in sweat, and said with an embarrassed smile: "The envoy of the protector said that he was laughing, he was laughing." ”

The coarse people in the audience burst into laughter.

Chen Zikun picked up a bowl of wine and said: "Today is the day of the opening of Lao Tzu's Seventh Mixed Brigade, don't talk nonsense, welcome brothers to join the gang, in the future, if I Chen Zikun eats a bite, I won't be hungry brothers, do it!" ”

Chen Shou and his three company commanders all stood up, with a solemn face, pulled out a dagger from their waists, cut a knife on their fingers, and dripped blood into the wine bowl, and then said: "Protector, thank you for not disliking, take in us these reckless people, we won't say words of gratitude, everything is in the wine, walk!" ”

The four big men tilted their necks and poured the spicy and mellow liquor into their throats, overflowing with wine, extremely bold, and after drinking, they showed the bottom of the bowl and wiped their mouths with their sleeves.

Chen Zikun also showed the bottom of the bowl, and everyone laughed together.

"Serve!" Chan slammed the bowl down.

Boss Lin hugged the jar and came upside down.

The dish has been changed, the cow's face is served in the clay basin, the whole red stewed dog leg, pork knuckle, there is no need to cut it, directly cut the dagger and fill it in the mouth, this is really a big bowl of drinking and eating meat.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone's faces were red, Chen Zikun said: "Today this thing is done beautifully, the 11th regiment was handed over by us, I don't plan to return these more than 200 guns, but there is one thing, what should I do next, I want to hear your opinions." ”

County Magistrate Liu has been staying out of the matter, and he didn't know that Chen Zikun was going to attack the 11th Regiment, and said with a sad face at this time: "Protector Envoy, your hand, but you poked the hornet's nest, Nie Jinku, he is not alone, standing behind him is Sun Inspector, it is tens of thousands of horses and horses of the entire Jiangdong Provincial Army, and after the 11th Regiment has been surrendered, it is to tear apart his face with Sun Inspector, have you ever thought about this consequence?" ”

Yan Su also said: "What County Magistrate Liu said has some truth, it is not the time to start a war with Sun Kaiqin, although this battle will be fought sooner or later, but County Magistrate Liu does not need to worry too much, the Protector Envoy is not alone, there are also people standing behind him, and it is a big man of the level of Wu Yushuai and Cao Laoshuai, besides, the Eleventh Regiment is the victim of one party, and the Protector Envoy has the responsibility to deal with them, wherever this lawsuit goes, we are all sure to win." ”

County Magistrate Liu said: "Now I have to take one step at a time, I suggest that these soldiers be disarmed and driven away, don't regenerate the branches, and give people a handle." ”

Seeing Liu Youjin's worried face, Chen Zikun smiled and asked Chen Shou: "First battalion commander, what do you think?" ”

Chen Shou and his three company commanders had served as soldiers in Zhang Xun's Dingwu Army before, and compared with ordinary bandits, they had some military literacy, but strategic considerations were not what he was good at. ”

Chen Zikun slapped the table: "Okay, cross the river tonight, go straight to the 11th regiment station, and serve them in a pot!" ”

Chen Shou's eyes lit up: "Okay!" That's it! ”

Liu Youjin almost cried, the envoy of the army didn't think the trouble was big enough, he was just about to admonish and felt that his words had no weight, so he said: "Chief of Staff, you persuade the marshal, you can't make mistakes again and again." ”

Yan Su pondered for a moment and said: "I think it is feasible, the 11th Regiment is the forefront of the provincial army on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the main force has been brought by Nie Jinku, and the rest is just the old, weak, sick and disabled. ”

Liu Youjin said in his heart that there is an old saying that is true, it's not that a family doesn't enter a door, and the Protector Embassy Office is full of a bunch of outlaws, who love to take dangerous roads, follow them, turn in sooner or later, or think about retreating early.

Gong Zijun was also shocked, he was a college student, who had experienced such a military event before, I heard that the escort envoy was preparing to attack the 11th regiment station on the south bank, and the heroic feelings buried in the heart of the hot-blooded young man were stimulated, he stood up and said: "I am willing to be a pioneer!" ”

Chen Shou said with a smile: "Student dolls, there are us in the war, you better rest." ”

Chen Zikun also said: "Staff Officer Gong, you are in charge of all the logistics matters, each has its own responsibility, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, you are my logistics director." ”

Gong Zijun was very happy, he changed from a staff officer to a division chief, and he snapped and saluted: "Yes!" ”

……

Without further ado, the battle plan began to be implemented, the 11th Regiment of the Provincial Army was collectively disarmed, and Chen Zikun made a fortune, seizing 200 rifles, 50 pistols, more than 5,000 rifle bullets, and more than 1,000 pistol bullets.

Chen Zikun ordered that all these guns be equipped with the first battalion, and Chen Shou's headquarters set off overnight after changing their guns, crossing the river and attacking the camp of the 11th regiment at night.

The first battalion disappeared into the night, and Yan Su was a little worried: "Protector, aren't you afraid that they will never return?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people, let's see tomorrow." Then he went to himself.

When he returned to the back house, he saw Shuangxi and Chen Qingfeng standing at the door together, Chen Zikun was stunned: "Shuangxi, your injury is healed?" ”

Shuangxi nodded and bowed: "My lord, thank you for saving your life." "Looking at his movements, the gunshot wound on his back has not fully healed.

"Double Happiness, why are you here?" Chan asked.

Shuangxi said: "My third brother said, let me be a servant for you." ”

Chen Zikun understood that Chen Shou used this way to prove his loyalty, and his younger brother was a hostage in the Protector Embassy Office, so he was naturally not afraid that he would roll up his gun and run away.

It was night, Nantai County was silent, only the sound of the husband was monotonous in the streets and alleys, but everyone lying on the bed was in turmoil, this evening happened a shocking event, the army envoy Chen actually disarmed all the soldiers of the 11th Regiment in one fell swoop, I heard that they would be dealt with publicly tomorrow, and let the people go to complain.

The people who have suffered from the military disaster are all puzzled, since ancient times, they have only seen officials protect each other, who has ever seen an official who stands up for the people, and which one of the guards is singing, no one dares to make a rash assertion.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the men and horses of the first battalion came back, each with two or three guns on their backs, and their waists were full of bullets.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, most of the people had not yet gotten up, and some people who got up early to empty the toilet were stunned to watch this group of bandits swaggering through the city and went straight to the county office.

Chen Zikun got the report, and waited for Chen Shou's arrival in the second hall, only to see the brigade of people come in one by one, put the rifles on their shoulders in the courtyard, and pile them up like a hill without much effort, and then Chen Shou came in with three company commanders, all carrying a heavy big bag on their shoulders.

There was a bang, and all the things in his pocket fell to the ground, and the white flowers were dazzling, and all of them were Yuan Datou, who was shining with silver light.

Chen Shou took out a few gold bars from his waist and placed them on top of the pile of silver dollars, and then reported: "I waited for the night attack across the river, washed the regimental headquarters of the 11th Regiment, and seized 382 rifles, 8,000 silver dollars, and these small yellow croakers, and presented them together, and asked the military envoy to dispose of them." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Okay! Well done, how many people were killed? ”

"Return to the military envoy, the soldiers are not bloody!" Chen Shou was very proud.

"Well done, the brothers will take the money and divide it." Chan said.

Chen Shou shook his head: "Protector envoy, we are not poles now, we are officers and soldiers, the days of doing business and sitting on the ground and dividing the money have passed, even if the money is distributed to the brothers, it is also a waste of eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, we have a thin foundation, it is serious to keep this money to buy more bullets." ”

The commander of the first company interjected: "Protector, for this money, the eldest brother also shot a brother." ”

Chen Shou said: "This kid is hiding secrets, and he denied it when he was discovered, and I shot him lightly." ”

Chen Zikun praised: "I really didn't see the wrong person, the Seventh Mixed Brigade has your brothers, and sooner or later it will sweep Jiangdong." ”

Chen Shou saluted and said: "Protector, my brother's life is saved by you, and my life is also saved by you. ”

Suddenly, a drum sounded, the sound was very muffled and loud, and the orderly Shuangxi rushed in and said, "My lord, someone is beating a drum outside the door to complain!" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Who beats the drum? ”

"It was Li Juren, a squire in this county, who sued Nie Jinku for forcing the death of the civil woman Li He."
