Chapter Ninety-Eight: If You Don't Fight, You Can't Do It

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, because of the serious banditry in the south, the people are not happy, I specially named Wang Wenshao as the general of the counterinsurgency, commanding 300,000 troops, that is, the southern expedition to rebel Wang Lin." The decree that was supposed to be announced by the eunuch who specially read the decree was now directly sent to Wang Wenshao's house by Li Lianying.

Wang Wenshao, who originally thought that this war would not start, never thought that the Empress Dowager Cixi would crown him as the general of counterinsurgency, which is to make it clear that he wants to buckle the basin on his head, but Wang Wenshao has nothing to do now, fight? I will be a national sinner, don't fight? That is equivalent to being a protester, a family of dozens of people, old and young, and it is just time to say a word when the head lands, and now there are so many people in the Manchu Dynasty, Cixi, the old bitch, who doesn't choose a minister of military aircraft, is the minister of military aircraft going out to lead the army?

It seems that some people in the DPRK and China have long been dissatisfied with Wang, and this time they want to put Wang to death. That's it, everything is left to fate, as the saying goes, the water is naturally straight to the bridge, and now it can only be taken one step at a time.

"Lord Wang, why don't you hurry up and thank you?" Li Lianying saw that Wang Wenshao was staying there, so she naturally knew what he was thinking, although Li Lianying was the lackey of the Empress Dowager Cixi in the eyes of outsiders, and she was also loyal, but Li Lianying was also a Han person, and I am afraid that none of these people in the capital knew better than him how fierce the trouble was in the south this time.

"King Shen Wenshao thanks Lord Longen." Wang Wenshao knelt on the ground and pressed his forehead to the ground in thanks.

"Lord Wang, Lafayette said, this time I want you to lead 50,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, each of the Eight Banners camp will contribute more or less troops, and the remaining 250,000 will recruit Xiangyong in the provinces along the way, and you must rush to Sichuan to start fighting within a month." Li Lianying said next to Wang Wenshao's ear.

What the? Within a month? You must know that Yanjing is nearly 2,000 miles away from Sichuan in a straight line, and 250,000 township warriors will be recruited along the way, how can you rush to Sichuan within a month and put into battle? Is this unclear that Wang's head is going to fall to the ground? That's it, since this is the case, then his nest must have been targeted, and he doesn't know if his property will fall into the hands of that slut, rather than this, it is better to give Li Lianying more now, and maybe he can get some useful news.

With the idea of making friends with Li Lianying when he was dying and not letting some people get his property, Wang Wenshao took out one hundred taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver and handed them to Li Lianying. Generally, the eunuchs who read the holy decree will get more or less reward money after reading the holy decree, and if they give more, the eunuch may be able to reveal something to you, so among all the eunuchs, although the income of the type that reads the holy decree is not the highest, it is often at the middle and upper level.

"Hey, Lord Wang, you better be careful yourself, this time you are afraid that you are more than lucky, and you want to rush to Sichuan within a month and start a war, this is obviously embarrassing, no one can guess, it is Rong Lu who recommended you to lead the army, and it is Rong Lu who said that it is Rong Lu who will go to Sichuan within a month." Li Lianying quietly lay next to Wang Wenshao's ear and muttered in a voice that could only be heard by two people.

"Thank you Gonggong Li for saying clearly, now Wang knows it." Wang Wenshao nodded, but he was not too surprised, because he and Rong Lu had always been at odds, and this time the troops were even more in private several times, and it was expected that Rong Lu would push himself out as a scapegoat. Hmph, the old man just won't let you get your wish.

"Lord Wang, although you are said to be a lackey in Xia Ping, you are also a Han in Xia Ping, this is a real thing, and no one can change it, so I will tell you more today." After Li Lianying said this, she looked up left and right, and after finding that there was no one around, she leaned on Wang Wenshao's ear again and whispered: "Lord Wang, while Lafayette has not sent troops to pick you up to the barracks, you should hurry up and send the potential juniors in your family out, otherwise when Ronglu's people come, none of them will be able to leave." ”

"Huh? Is Lafayette really going to destroy my whole family? Wang Wenshao looked at Li Lianying in disbelief.

The big people in Beijing are often the ones who offend the most, whether it's open or secret, often no one will provoke you when you are happy, and even call you brothers, but once you go into the water, there are not a few people who have been robbed of their homes and exterminated. It's just that Wang Wenshao didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him?

Wang Wenshao took out some of the family's money and handed it to Li Lianying, and then selected a nameless child with good qualifications and a self-motivated child, as well as his youngest son and his wife, and after giving them a large sum of money, he let them follow Li Lianying out, and then Li Lianying would arrange for them to go out of Beijing, and then find a remote place to live in seclusion, at least let the Wang family's bloodline be preserved first.

Not long after Li Lianying led Wang Wenshao's youngest son and his wife away, Rong Lu's soldiers and horses arrived at Wang Wenshao's mansion, and Wang Wenshao, who was sitting in the living room drinking tea, smiled, his tens of thousands of silver taels and gold seemed to be not in vain, Li Lianying really did not lie to herself.

"Lord Wang, you must have received the holy decree now, please go to the barracks to prepare now, we will leave early tomorrow morning." An officer with a positive yellow flag walked up to Wang Wenshao and said, although there is a big difference between this officer and Wang Wenshao according to his rank, but standing here as an officer with a positive yellow flag, his status is definitely higher than Wang Wenshao's.

Because he is a descendant of Huang Taiji and the boss of the Eight Banners, in their eyes, everything in the world is small, and the entire Manchu people are all real minions, minions who can come and go as soon as they are summoned.

"Let's clean up and go to the barracks later." Wang Wenshao slowly put down the teacup.

"Lord Wang doesn't have to clean up, the barracks are ready, and your family will also be protected by our Yellow Banner, so please Lord Wang can rest assured that you can go on the expedition."

Wang Wenshao was almost coerced to leave his mansion, and the rest of the family didn't know what happened before they saw their head of the family being taken away, and they wanted to go to find out what was also stopped by the Eight Banners outside, and the entire palace was now unable to enter and exit, and only now did anyone feel some fear, I don't know what happened, just going out to fight, and there is no need to arrest the whole family, right?

After Wang Wenshao arrived in the army, he was paid special attention, and the sergeant also obeyed Wang Wenshao's orders, but it restricted Wang Wenshao's personal freedom, no matter where you go, there will be a group of soldiers following you, as long as you want to get out of the barracks, then they will definitely block you back behind.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Wenshao led the 50,000 Eight Banner soldiers who had been assembled overnight, and their itinerary would pass through Taiyuan, the Queen Mother crossed the Yellow River, and Xi'an approached the border between Shaanxi and Sichuan. Along the way, they had to recruit 250,000 soldiers in Hebei, Shanxi, and Shaanxi provinces, but fortunately, the imperial court had already issued an order to transfer troops, and the amount had already been distributed, and they only needed to assemble their troops when they got there.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners have war horses to ride, and the townsmen recruited along the way do not have that kind of blessing, and they follow behind the Eight Banners soldiers one by one, tired and half-dead, eating dust and enduring ridicule, and finally they can only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

"Deputy Chief, the lurkers in the capital have sent a message saying that the Qing court has ordered to march into Sichuan and attack us from behind while we are in full force to rescue us. This time the commander of the army was Wang Wenshao, the minister of military aircraft, and the report said that Wang Wenshao seemed to be very reluctant to come, and it was Li Lianying next to Cixi who went to Wang Wenshao's house to read the holy decree, and after reading the holy decree, he took Wang Wenshao's youngest son and wife and nameless child quietly out of Wang's house, and sent a group of seven people out of Yanjing City that night. And all the remaining members of the Wang family are currently under house arrest, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission. The communications soldier said with the long telegram in his hand.

"It seems that this Minister of Military Aircraft doesn't want to fight, I heard that he also fell out with Rong Lu a few times because of this matter, and it is estimated that Rong Lu is afraid of making his reputation stink this time, so he instigated the old bitch to send Wang Wenshao here, it seems that this time they want to copy Wang Wenshao's home." Tang San carefully reviewed the contents of the telegram, quickly calculated the development of things, and muttered in his mouth.

"Inform the blood wolf, let them protect the seven members of the Wang family who have left the city, and prepare to rescue Wang Wenshao's family, not act rashly, and wait for orders." Tang San quickly gave the order.

Since Wang Wenshao was forced to come, it means that he still doesn't want to do this, but he has no way to be forced, after coming to Sichuan, no matter whether Wang Wenshao sneaks up on the Hainan Army according to the order, Tang San will order the blood wolf to rescue Wang Wenshao's family, Wang Wenshao and him are just different camps, and it is enough to see Wang Wenshao's patriotism from this operation.

"Order the tank regiment to quietly lurk in the west of Hubei, not to let people find out, and wait until Wang Wenshao's army arrives to cut off the enemy's retreat from behind." Tang San thought for a moment and asked the staff officer behind him, "Which unit is closest to the Shaanxi border?" ”

"Report to the commander-in-chief, it is the sixty-seventh division of the Eighteenth Army."

The sixty-seventh division, the disaster in the north is not serious, but Tang San still placed a division of troops there, the purpose is to prevent the Qing army from suddenly attacking, his side has enough troops to counterattack, sometimes it is not wrong to be safe, not to mention that there are more than 100,000 rescue troops in the entire Sichuan now, the sixty-seventh division only has a small-scale rescue operation, and most of the rest are staring at the situation in the north.

"Order the 67th Division, step up combat readiness, arrange more transport troops to pass through there in the next few days, and they can carry reporters inside, as long as they dare to show their faces, the 67th Division will beat him up for me."
