At the same time, outside Lin Zhe's office in the yamen of the business zone, Xu Yanqing, Bi Yutong, and Xu Pengan, Lin Zhe's absolute henchmen, were already waiting.

"It's almost ready, so send a signal to Brother Shi and let them start!" Xu Yanqing turned around and continued: "Today, we make a move, there is no turning back, you all have to think about it, it's too late to quit now, but if you still want to retreat after the incident, don't blame me Xu Yanqing for being ruthless!" ”

"The people who can stand here today are all people who already know the seriousness of the matter, Brother Xu can rest assured!" Xu Pengan said.

Xu Yanqing nodded immediately, and then first pushed open the door of Lin Zhe's office.

Just when Qin Cha swaggered into the yamen of the trade zone, and then read out the holy decree in public that Lin Zhe supported the army and rebelled, and he would dismiss Lin Zhe and send him to prison, and at the same time, he would also dismiss other senior generals of Yu Shengjun and send them to prison, and Yu Shengjun would be dismissed on the spot.

In the camp of Yu Shengjun behind the yamen of the business zone, Shi Qingxuan was already standing on a high platform, and below him were the soldiers of the first battalion of Yu Shengjun who were urgently summoned.

"Just now, the imperial court actually said that our Lin Dashuai was a thief, and also said that our Yu Shengjun was a rebel army, and that we Yu Shengjun should be dismissed on the spot, and all the soldiers here should be imprisoned and punished as traitors!" Shi Qingxuan looked at the soldiers and middle- and low-ranking officers who were already in a commotion below.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it and said, "Since we formed an army in Yuyao County, our Yu Sheng Army and the Taiping Thief Army have fought hundreds of battles, and thousands of brothers have died on the battlefield. And today, those mediocre monarchs and ministers in the imperial court actually said that we are anti-thieves, and that's how they treated the souls of thousands of soldiers of my Yu Shengjun? ”

"Today, the imperial court is unfair to us, and instead of rewarding us for our outstanding military exploits, it wants to kill us and destroy our nine clans. You say, "Can this be endured?" ”

In Shi Qingxuan's words, he cleverly united the senior generals of Lin Zhe and Yu Shengjun with the ordinary soldiers, so that when those soldiers heard it, they thought that the Qing court was going to kill them all and punish the nine clans.

In addition, more than a dozen people who had been arranged in advance took the lead in coaxing, and soon hundreds of people shouted in unison: "Can't!" ”

Seeing that the soldiers in the audience had been encouraged, Shi Qingxuan also put down the heart that he had been mentioning, the soldiers of the first battalion were all soldiers from Yuyao County, and it could be said that Lin Zhe was the descendant of Lin Zhe in Yu Sheng's army, otherwise he would not have specially transferred the first battalion from the Changzhou front line back to the business area to participate in this matter.

"Rescue the handsome!"

"We're against the fuck!"

The pre-arranged coaxing people uttered various slogans one after another, and soon the soldiers shouted in unison and marched out of the camp.

Then go straight to the yamen of the business zone!

Not long after, Shi Qingxuan had already arrived with the first battalion, and these people were still shouting, "Rescue the handsome!" slogans like that.

After arriving at the yamen of the business zone, Shi Qingxuan looked at the Qing soldiers wearing green camp uniforms in front of him, and immediately shouted: "Kill, rescue the handsome!" ”

A few days ago, a person who claimed to be a messenger came to Suzhou, saying that he would transfer a hundred people to the green battalion as an escort, because he was accompanied by the generals of Yu Shengjun at that time, these green battalions could only obey.

But after knowing that after arriving in the Shanghai Trade Zone, the Qincha actually took out a holy decree, saying that Yu Shengjun's Lin Zhe was going to rebel, as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest.

The guards in the yamen of the trade zone were holding them up, and in a few minutes, a large number of Yu Shengjun soldiers came from outside, saying that they wanted to rescue the marshal, and when they wanted to find the minister, they found that the minister had already lost his head.

Next, gunshots and shouts rang out, and it didn't take long for the open space in front of the yamen of the trade zone to be filled with the corpses of Qing soldiers.

Shi Qingxuan, whose military uniform was already stained with blood, pushed open the closed door of the yamen of the business zone, and just saw Lin Zhe coming down the stairs.

Shi Qingxuan immediately knelt down on his knees: "Dashuai, the rescue of the department is late, and I hope that Dashuai will be punished!" ”

Lin Zhe frowned and said, "What happened outside?" And what about Lord Qincha and the Qincha team? ”

Shi Qingxuan still can't afford it: "Dashuai, now the faint monarch is above, treacherous in the court, I don't want to kill thieves and auxiliary countries, I am bent on murdering heroes, my Yu Shengjun soldiers have been fighting for the court for many years, and more than 10,000 people have been killed and injured, and now the court wants to treat you as a thief, and we and other Yu Shengjun soldiers are regarded as anti-thieves to harm you, and it is not a pity for me to die, but the world will never see the dawn!"

The ministry implores the marshal to set up another bright and bright future for the common people in the world! ”

Lin Zhe's face was immediately full of anger, and he reprimanded loudly: "Bastard, such a big rebellion is also something you can say, even if I want Lin Zhe to thank the world with death today, how can I, as a courtier, refuse!" ”

At this time, Xu Yanqing also stepped forward, and immediately knelt down on his knees like Shi Qingxuan and said: "Dashuai, now that the Manchu Emperor is immoral, and the Taiping thief army has swept the south of the Yangtze River to the point of wailing for thousands of miles, at this moment, the Dashuai is urgently needed to force the cable to revitalize Kyushu, save the people of the world from suffering, for the sake of Kyushu Society, for the sake of the world, I implore the Marshal to set up another world!" ”

Immediately, the rest of the senior generals of Yu Shengjun, such as Xu Peng'an, Bi Yutong, Shen Chiyun, Qu Panyun, Fu Linyang, etc., all came out of the ranks and knelt down one after another, and they all said that they wanted Lin Zhe to take pity on the people in the world, and to establish a new future for the people of the society.

Emotionally, Shi Qingxuan even had tears in her eyes: "Now that tens of thousands of Li people are in deep suffering, I still hope that the handsome man will be benevolent and save the people in the world!" ”

At the same time, the soldiers of the first battalion outside the yamen of the trade zone were also led by others, knelt down one after another and shouted to the marshal to set up another situation.

Lin Zhe looked at his subordinates who were kneeling on the ground, looked up at the sky and sighed: "You guys are trying to trap me for being disloyal!" ”

For the sake of the common people in the world and for the sake of the people, Lin Zhe finally agreed to set up another Qiankun under the kneeling begging of his subordinates, officially raised the flag and turned over the independence of the Qing court, called himself 'the Generalissimo of China', and established the Generalissimo of China.

At the same time, in order to announce the determination to stand with the Qing court, Lin Zhe issued a braiding order, requiring all officers and soldiers in Yu Sheng's army to cut their braids, and he himself cut off the braid at the first time.

Since coming to this era, Lin Zhe has dreamed of cutting off this braid that represents humiliation, and now he has finally achieved his wish.

Xu Yanqing, Shi Qingxuan and others, who were the leaders, naturally did not hesitate to cut their braids one after another with scissors, and shaved their bald heads like Lin Zhe.

With Lin Zhe's personal orders, coupled with the fact that these soldiers were usually trained to respond habitually to orders, although some of them were right, they still cut off their braids with bayonets one after another.

But there was also a trace of discord in the process, some officers refused to cut their braids, and even insulted Lin Zhe as a thief, and some soldiers were unwilling to cut their braids.

Treating these people, Lin Zhe didn't blink an eye, and directly asked the soldiers to shoot them on the spot!

During the whole day, Lin Zhe was busy rectifying and winning over the officers and soldiers in the First Infantry Division, although he had made a lot of preparations before, but there were still many people who opposed his rebellion when the matter came.

And at night, Lin Zhe looked at the numbers on the report and sighed deeply: "These are our elite divisions!" ”

In a whole day, the First Infantry Division, the Yamen of the Trade Zone, and several officials, Green Battalion and others in the county seat of Shanghai have already carried out three small-scale rebellions, in order to suppress the soldiers of the First Infantry Division, stationed everywhere to search,

The gunfire rang out for almost a whole day, and by the end of the night, the large-scale rebellion had been completely suppressed, and those officials who had Qing court in mind were also killed, and Lin Zhe himself led the 1st Infantry Division to finally control the situation.

However, seeing the report afterwards, Lin Zhe couldn't help but feel extremely heartbroken, in this crackdown, although there were many Qing court officials killed, but in fact, it was mainly Yu Shengjun's cannibalism, especially after the braid-cutting order was issued, many middle and senior officers who were born as scholars and had a strong Confucian ideology of foolishness and loyalty swore to die, and some even led more than 100 soldiers who were unwilling to rebel to rebel and tried to counterattack the yamen of the business area.

At the end of the day, in the 1st Infantry Division and the Naval Division Battalion garrisoned by Yu Shengjun in the Shanghai area, four majors and more than 30 lieutenants were killed because they were unwilling to obey, and more than 300 soldiers died in the chaotic battle.

In addition, Shi Langyi, the number one general under Lin Zhe, was put under house arrest by Lin Zhe early, and did not participate in a series of things, and waited until the evening, when Lin Zhe went to see him in person, although Shi Langyi had great hesitation at that time, he still gritted his teeth and cut off his braids.

Because he knew very well that if he didn't cut off his braids, even if Lin Zhe valued his ability, he would probably kill himself without hesitation.

So many officers are unwilling to rebel, and even raise troops to betray Lin Zhe, which has a great relationship with the fact that they are all scholars, even if these people who have read all their lives are in the army, but they are also full of Confucian foolish and loyal thinking, but some people have changed their allegiance to Lin Zhe, and some people have not changed, and they are still loyal to the court.

Comparatively speaking, there were not many people in the soldier class who opposed it, and even some of the rebellious soldiers were mostly driven by the orders of the rebel officials, and they themselves did not have much rejection of rebellion or not.

These soldiers don't know what the court loyalty, they only know that they are soldiers for Lin Zhe, take Lin Zhe's salary, eat Lin Zhe's food, rebel or fight the Taiping army, there is not much difference for them.

Lin Zhe, who had been busy for a day, did not relax because he had already taken initial control of the situation in the Shanghai area, and that night, he summoned his civil and military officials to discuss the formation of the Generalissimo's Office.

According to Lin Zhe's prior planning, the generalissimo will be based on the existing institutions of the yamen in the business zone to expand and supplement. The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Ministry of the Interior have been set up.

Although these civilian-bureaucratic matters are also important, they are still not within the scope of Lin Zhe's attention, and he just hurriedly gradualized the ministries, and then refocused his attention on military affairs.

Now for Lin Zhe, the most important thing is to stabilize the other troops of Yu Sheng's army, you must know that the scale of today's Yu Sheng's army is not small, the regular army is as high as 20,000 people, and the first infantry division only occupies the general, and there are also a large number of troops stationed in northern Zhejiang, southern Anhui, Suzhou, Changzhou and other places, and Lin Zhe also sent some reliable people to control in advance, but he is also worried that there will be unexpected changes.

For example, in Huzhou and Lishui, although Lin Zhe has sent Lin Anfei as a henchman to serve as the head of the Second Mixed Regiment, with full control over the Second Mixed Regiment, the Ninth Mixed Regiment and the other three auxiliary defense regiments, no one can guarantee that the officers below will not rebel with Lin Zhe.

For example, the 6th Mixed Regiment in Changzhou and the 7th Mixed Regiment in Suzhou also need to be pacified and controlled in time.

On the same day, Shi Qingxuan had been ordered to rush to Suzhou urgently, preparing to take over the troops in Suzhou, Changzhou and other places.

At the same time, he sent Xu Yanqing to lead the Eighth Mixed Regiment to Songjiang, Jiaxing and other places to prepare to take over the local power, and at the same time prepare to march into northern Zhejiang and cooperate with Lin Anfei in the direction of Huzhou to take Hangzhou.

And he himself personally led the First Infantry Division north to Suzhou to deter and suppress the rebel generals who might have zài! (To be continued.) )
