The soldiers of Yu Shengjun, who had been trained in strict military discipline, did not care whether the enemy on the opposite side was the Taiping army or the Qing army, they just instinctively obeyed the order and pulled the trigger.

The crisp and neat platoon of guns rang out in the field, and the front row of the nearly 1,000-strong Qing army fell in large pieces, and the remaining Qing troops saw that Yu Shengjun on the opposite side really shot, and when the green battalion soldiers in the front row fell a large number, they immediately panicked like a frying pan.

Not only did the soldiers of the Green Battalion turn around and run, but even many of the officials brought by Gilhanga also ran backwards crying and shouting.

In the back formation, Gilhang's face turned blue, not angry but frightened, seeing that the bold Lin Zhe dared to really order the shooting, he was so frightened that his face was blue and his limbs were weak, his legs and feet were weak, and if he couldn't stand steadily, he fell and ate.

As for the few staff members who had been by his side to give him confidence and trick him into taking a tough attitude towards Lin Zhe, they had already crawled and rolled backwards as soon as the gunshots rang out

Only a few of his own soldiers and slaves were left to quickly pick up Gilhanga, but the wolf bèi fled.

Lin Zhe's face on the opposite side was still calm, as if it was not the green battalion of the imperial court that ordered the shooting just now, but a group of pigs and sheep!

"The whole army comes forward!" This time, Lin Zhe did not continue to give the order to shoot, but asked the soldiers to step forward in a neat formation with bayonets.

Seeing that Yu Shengjun was still chasing after him, the soldiers of the green battalion of the Qing army and those officials who had already fled were even more afraid to stay, and they couldn't wait to use their strength to run backwards, and it took half an hour to get here from the moat, and now it took only half an hour to run back to the other side of the moat.

Seeing that they had withdrawn from the trade zone and returned to the other side of the moat in Shanghai County, Lin Zhe also reinserted his command knife into the scabbard, and then turned his head to Shi Langyi, Wang Luyun and others beside him: "Watch them, if they dare to continue to come, kill them back for Lao Tzu!" ”

After that, Lin Zhe just glanced at the panicked crowd on the other side of the moat, and he could vaguely see that the Gilhang wolf in a group of officials was incomparable, and the official hat didn't know where to go. The pearl on his chest also doesn't know when it was torn off.

"Humph!" After snorting coldly, Lin Zhe just didn't care about them, but rushed back to the yamen of the business zone with Bi Yu and the others, using such a strong method just now. Not to mention the troubles in the future, and there will be too many variables, Lin Zhe must prepare in advance!

At the same time, Gilhanga finally recovered from his panicked state, when he saw Lin Zhe on the other side looking at him. He felt a thick disdain in it, as if he was laughing at his own incompetence!

At this time, Gilhanga finally had the time and mind to get angry, only to see him pointing at Lin Zhe's back and scolding: "This Lin Zhe is so bold that he dares to attack me and other court officials, and there is no court and royal law in his eyes!" ”

These few words of scolding were not loud, and they could only be heard by a few people around them, as if they were afraid that Lin Zhe on the other side would hear it, but after Lin Zhe and the others rode away, his voice of scolding gradually became louder: "This official must be ruthless to you." Lin Zhe, you are good at attacking the imperial court governor, this is a capital crime of rebellion, wait for the family to be wiped out! ”

The sound of scolding became louder and louder, and it was also heard by Yu Shengjun's people on the other side of the moat, Shi Langyi frowned slightly when he heard it, but Wang Lu Yun on the side stepped forward with an angry face:

I saw him pointing at the opposite side with the saber in his hand and shouting: "Who dares to make noise again, but do you still want to be bulleted!" ”

Seeing a tall general riding out on a tall horse, and hearing his words, especially the word bullet, scared Gilhanga a lot. However, he also saw that the martial general, the saber and the scar,

Seeing that Yu Shengjun on the opposite side began to reload again, those Qing soldiers dared to stay there. The swarm of people is running away again!

Gilhanga was also helped by the soldiers around him to walk backwards, but the soldiers around him smelled a smell of shame as he walked, and when he looked down, he saw that Gilhang'a's official robe was already soaked, and he was dripping water on the ground.

After fleeing back to the county seat of Shanghai in a hurry, Gilhanga didn't even change out of the official robe full of shame. Instead, he said directly: "Prepare paper and ink, I want to participate in him, I want to participate in him fiercely......"

The staff members and subordinate officials who were the fastest runners also didn't know what appeared next to Gilhanga.

"This Lin Zhe is really bold, he dares to prevent us from entering the trade zone, this trade zone is still not my Qing Dynasty royal land, this Lin Zhe is still not my Qing Dynasty subject!"

"He is going to rebel, my lord, you must join him ruthlessly, copy his house and destroy other clans!"

"This Yu Sheng's army is strong, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it alone, my lord, ask for help from the Jiangnan camp and the Jiangbei camp!"

I saw them talking nonsense, one would say that they would let Gilhang Ah visit Lin Zhe, and the other would say that Lin Zhe had rebelled against him, and he must be strictly guarded and ask the court to ask for reinforcements, and some people said that they should endure the humiliation and take the initiative to surrender to Lin Zhe.

Listening to the words of these people, Gilhanga became angry, who made him take a tough attitude towards Lin Zhe in the first place, who asked him to personally take the green camp into the business zone to escort those officials to take office, and it was not them?

Immediately, they didn't give them a face, and they were driven out.

Not to mention the reaction of Gil Hang'a's side, Lin Zhe also pondered after returning to the yamen of the business zone.

After Gil Hanga arrived in Shanghai, a series of tough actions forced him to take tougher actions in response, and he just ordered to attack Gil Hanga and his party, which will definitely cause a lot of trouble afterwards.

As for how the imperial court responded?

Lin Zhe guessed that there were no more than three ways, the first was that the court was furious, regarded himself as a thief, and then dismissed from his post and removed from power, and even transferred troops to encircle and suppress himself. But this method is unlikely, and the biggest trouble for the Qing court today is not a domineering general like himself, not a rebellious Han landlord regiment training arms, but the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In any case, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the henchman of the Qing court, and the other threats were ranked after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so the Qing court was unwilling to force Lin Zhe to rebel until the last resort.

The second possibility is to treat it as if nothing happened for the time being, and put up with Lin Zhe's nose pinching his nose for the outrageous things he did in order to exterminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The third possibility is that instead of blaming Lin Zhe, the imperial court severely punished Gilhang'a and rewarded Lin Zhe. And this possibility is the most dangerous for Lin Zhe, because it represents in the hearts of the court bosses and Emperor Xianfeng. Lin Zhe is no longer just a domineering person, but a person with opposite aspirations, and now he has to endure it for the sake of the overall situation, but when the time is ripe in the future. The imperial court will definitely dismiss Lin Zhe, and if Lin Zhe does not comply, the imperial court will mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress him.

As for saying that the court is indifferent, this is impossible!

The Manchu court was very wary of the private armies pulled out by the local gentry such as the Hunan army and Yu Shengjun, and it can be said that they relied on them to exterminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. On the one hand, there are precautions everywhere, and before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed in history, the Qing court had already supported Li Hongzhang's Huai army and began to disarm the Hunan army.

It can be said that unless Lin Zhe obediently accepts the mercy of the imperial court, otherwise the imperial court will not let Lin Zhe and Yu Shengjun go.

And how should Lin Zhe deal with it himself?

That is, no matter what the imperial court plans to do, Lin Zhe's response is just two words: expand the army!

Having soldiers and guns in your hands is the king, and any other schemes and strategies are!

Gilhanga tried to use stratagem to seize the Xiajiang Customs and remove the former officials. and appointed his own officials to take over the Jianghai Customs, so that Lin Zhe had no way to resist it through formal channels, so he adopted the simplest and most direct way, that is: fight!

When he returned to the yamen of the business zone, he immediately held a high-level military meeting of Yu Shengjun, and everyone in the meeting was worried.

All these people present except for Hunter? Except for William, a foreigner, the other officers were all scholars, and although they had joined Yu Shengjun and accepted some new ideas, they were still traditional Confucian students. The idea of Zhongjun is still very ingrained in their minds.

Now Yu Shengjun has a conflict with the new governor of Jiangsu, Gil Hang'a, sent by the imperial court, this conflict is not a quarrel, but a military conflict, and if this one is not done well, he will turn himself into a thief.

Look at the worried expressions of his subordinates. Lin Zhe could guess their thoughts in his heart, although he controlled these generals with relatives and friends, with the camp academy, etc., but he was not an immortal, and it was impossible to change their thoughts about the imperial court at once.

He can only come step by step, and now Lin Zhe must not tell them that I planned to overthrow the Manchu Qing when I established the Yu Sheng Army.

He could only make these generals under him dissatisfied with the court step by step. And this dissatisfaction can only make them follow Lin Zhe without scruples after a certain degree of dissatisfaction, and finally embark on the great cause of rebellion.

So after he sat down, he said with a calm face: "Since I sent troops to Huzhou last year, my Yu Shengjun has been fighting for tens of millions of people in Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu, and for the imperial court for more than a year, and dozens of battles of all sizes.

From last year to now, my Yu Shengjun has nearly 1,000 soldiers killed on the battlefield, after the first battle of Si'an last year, I Yuyao is full of white flags, before the battle of Suzhou, there are 200 soldiers martyred for the country, hundreds of soldiers for the people for the disabled,"

Speaking of this, Lin Zhe paused slightly and continued:

"The two battalions in Jiangnan and Jiangbei spend tens of millions of military dollars every year to support countless soldiers, but they have not made an inch, and the Jiangbei battalion has not heard of the thief army's transfer of troops to the Northern Expedition, and the Jiangnan battalion is only one step away from Jiangning, but it is not an inch in the year, but it has not advanced an inch, but has sat back and watched Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou and other prefectures fall into the hands of thieves, so that Suzhou is full of crying!

At the cost of thousands of soldiers, our Yu Shengjun successively defeated the thief army Lin Chengting's department and Wu Ruxiao's department, killing more than 10,000 enemies, capturing tens of thousands of enemies, and conquering more than 10 large and small cities.

However, our imperial court did not give us one or two military expenses, and all the expenses needed were self-raised!

At the beginning, in order to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver on the military, our officers and men of Yu Shengjun traveled hundreds of miles day and night, and only at the cost of hundreds of casualties of soldiers did they get back to Shanghai, so that they could gain a foothold of 2,000 acres in the trade zone, and only then did they obtain the tax and silver of the Jiang Customs as military expenses.

We have been able to get to this day, how many hometown children, how many relatives, friends, teachers and students have died, and I don't know how many mothers have lost their sons, how many wives have lost their husbands, and how many children have lost their fathers!

And he, Gilhanga, a clown-like man, came to us and said that he was going to take back this qiē, this qiē that we had paid thousands of soldiers to lose and wounded.

You say, "Can we say yes?" (To be continued.) )
