Chapter 21 Eastern Expedition and Northern Expedition (10)

Fang Jianxiong's mouth was fast, and he revealed that he had a news channel in Wuchang. However, when Xu Shaojiao saw him say this, he also believed it. The newspaper doesn't have any news control, you can say whatever you want, and someone has done it if you have nothing to do and scold the government.

Although there was a Shanghai-Nanjing railway, the front wagons were limited, and Fang Jianxiong took a special service group as the lead, and other troops advanced along the Shanghai-Nanjing railway. The role of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway was obvious, and the artillery of the 2nd Division got on the train. As for the heavy artillery brigade, Fang Jianxiong arranged to take the waterway, and he was on his way back to Wuhu at the moment. In the Battle of Nanjing, although the role of the heavy artillery brigade was obvious, it burned too much money, and at the same time, it also slowed down the speed of the march too much, so let's wait for the cars purchased by the United States to come back.

On the Yangtze River, the captains of the Jiangning detachment were meeting with Li Muyan, Fang Jianxiong's representative. The main purpose was to check the list of munitions reported by the fleet. For the navy, Fang Jianxiong is determined to win, and Li Muyan is a good hand at buying people's hearts.

Li Muyan went directly to the "Jingqing", and after seeing Song Wenhui and the captain of the ship, he looked at the list in the Navy newspaper very kindly and simply, not to mention that the three-month military salary of 30,000 yuan was taken out, but in fact, Li Muyan prepared 50,000 yuan.

Looking for an opportunity, under the pretext of having a look on the warship, Li Muyan asked Song Wenhui to accompany him alone. Song Wenhui didn't know why, he didn't have a very clear direction for the future of this detachment, and his prestige was not enough to control the overall situation of the fleet. Right now, he is taking refuge under Fang Jianxiong's command, but he hasn't even seen anyone, has he?

"Lord Song. The commander explained before he came. The detachment has the highest prestige of the Lord, so please pass on the silver to the captains on your behalf, which is the commander's settling-in allowance for everyone. Li Muyan handed over an envelope, and Song Wenhui was secretly surprised in his heart. He is the acting commander elected by everyone, and he has a little prestige, but he can't say anything, and the affairs of the fleet are all discussed.

Suspiciously, he took the envelope. Song Wenhui looked forward to the following very patiently. Sure enough, Li Muyan saw that he had accepted the silver, and continued: "What the commander means, these silvers hope to help Lord Song stabilize the overall situation. The current situation. The Qing Dynasty is no longer good. China's chaos is about to begin, and without the unification of the country, the navy will definitely have a hard time. This was said by the commander. also said that Lord Song will be able to see it in the future. As for the future, where to go, our commander will not force you, and I hope that you will have a better future, so as to seek a good fate, so that you will not face each other in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Song Wenhui was not stupid, and hurriedly said: "Song has been in the fleet for a day, and he has not fired at the Anhui army for a day. He added, "The same is true of other brothers." ”

Li Muyan didn't say much, and smiled: "That's good." My business is done, there are still things to deal with on the shore, farewell! ”

Seeing Li Muyan away, Song Wenhui called a cadre of officers, closed the door and took out a silver ticket. conveyed Li Muyan's words. The expressions of the captains were different. Among them, Wu Zhennan, the captain of the "Chuguan", stood up and said: "I went to see Commander Fang on behalf of everyone, and I also told you about the process. If you want me to see, Commander Fang is a kind person, and what he laid down in Nanjing City has now been let out. I don't think he can treat everyone badly. ”

Wang Guangxiong, the captain of the "Chu Qian", stood up and said, "This is reasonable. I also think that this commander can be trusted. ”

There are also those who hold opposing views, such as Shen Jifang, the captain of the "Jiang Yuan", who said: "I don't care what happens to others, in the future, when Lord Sa greets me, I will follow him." ”

"Why are you like this? Don't take this money! Wang Guangxiong had a violent temper, and immediately pointed at Shen Jifang to quarrel. This one did not show weakness, stood up and stared at the beads.

Song Wenhui hurriedly said loudly: "Don't make any noise, now everyone is going to Wuhu to stay in Wuhu with peace of mind, and see how the situation changes, I don't know how." Those revolutionary parties are no better than us, they have families and mouths. This can be regarded as speaking the minds of most people, no matter how generous Fang Jianxiong is, this person still has a small calculation in his heart.

Fang Jianxiong did not take the train, but marched with the people of the headquarters.

Leng Yu, who was the vanguard again, had more rules this time, and after winning the battle of Nanjing, he became the acting head of the regiment. It can be seen that Fang Jianxiong was angry at his lack of military discipline, and the credit for winning two million taels of silver was ignored.

Seeing that Zhenjiang was imminent, a few gunshots rang out, stopping the team that was marching rapidly.

"What's going on?" Leng Yu was shocked, and immediately ordered to prepare for battle, and rushed forward with the guards. The commander of the vanguard company soon came back and reported: "The Zhenjiang army in front blocked the way and fired a gun into the sky. I inquired, and they also seized dozens of train wagons and three locomotives. ”

According to Leng Yu's previous temper, he started fighting directly. This will calm down a bit, and the previous mistakes have not been made up yet. "If you go to sue the Zhenjiang Army, you will say that we are going to fight Suzhou and Shanghai, and ask them to give way. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences! ”

The head company commander Wang Mazi is nicknamed the King of the Mountain, a pit man with a face. This guy is a serious bandit, and he has been practicing the style from the beginning, and his work is not simple. That is, the Anhui Revolutionary Army is strictly disciplined, and this guy is quite peaceful. Moreover, Leng Yu, the head of the regiment, has a temper towards him, or the entire secret service group, with a little bit of gangsterism.

"Good Ratcha!" Wang Mazi promised to turn around and run, and the first battalion commander Hu Yaozu said to Leng Yu very uneasily: "Tuanzao, the matter of Xiaolingwei has not been settled with you." ”

Leng Yu's stinky temper came up, and he waved his hand and said: "No matter, it's a big deal to remove me, the acting regiment commander, prepare for battle, let the machine gun battalion come up, and put the troops away." I'll say it first, if you can't rush up later, you can do it yourself. ”

Hu Yaozu was originally from the Anqing Patrol Battalion, but he was selected to teach the team because of his literacy, and this goods are also full of gangsterism. When he heard this, he crooked his mouth arrogantly and said: "It's strange that the Zhenjiang Army can stop me." ”

In Zhenjiang, Lin Shuqing set himself up as the governor after the uprising, and the destruction of the Anhui army under the city of Nanjing made Lin Shuqing very shocked. At the beginning, he refused to return to Nanjing, and learned that the Ninth Town and the Anhui Army joined forces to fight Nanjing, and he was somewhat worried that the incident of the false road would happen to him. So he ordered the troops to prepare, and the Anhui army came, and they were not allowed to enter the city.

Zheng Quan, the senator of the Governor's Office, was a native of Fujian and had a good relationship with the navy. At the meeting, Zheng Quan raised objections, believing that Fang Jianxiong's Eastern Expedition was justified and took advantage of the righteousness, and it was inappropriate to prevent him from entering the city. What it actually means is unwise!

At the meeting, everyone else advocated blocking the Anhui army from entering the city, and they all had their own small calculations in their hearts, and some people felt that they were all revolutionary troops, and the Anhui army did not dare to do it. It's not easy to get hold of Zhenjiang's territory, and it's only been a few days since this good day?

Lin Shuqing did not adopt Zheng Quan's construction and ordered the seizure of some locomotives and wagons.

The attitude of the town army was tough, and Wang Mazi went to negotiate in person, but was rejected by the other party. The officer who led the team said that if you want to cross Zhenjiang, you can just bypass it, the road is facing the sky, and the town army will not prevent you from going to Suzhou.

As soon as Leng Yu heard this reply, he gave an ultimatum without saying a word, reported to the other side for half an hour, and then went to war if he did not agree to let him go. This time, the town army was very wolf, and hurriedly went back to report the news, and emphasized the ultimatum for half an hour.

Lin Shuqing was angry enough, and said, "Could it be that they still dare to do it?" ”

Zheng Quan persuaded again at this time: "Hurry up and decide, time is running out." In the process of Lin Shuqing's hesitation, time flew by, and when the time of half an hour came, when Lin Shuqing was still hesitating, the cold rain kept pinching his watch.

"Fire!" At the sound of an order, the mortars of the machine gun battalion began to prepare for fire.

Fang Jianxiong led his headquarters to march with the team, seeing that Zhenjiang still had half an hour to go, and was thinking about how to deal with the affairs of the Zhenjiang army. When Xu Shaojiao and others saw them off, Shen Tongwu said: "Lin Shuqing is the king of Zhenjiang Mountain!" Lin Huaichuan added: "Mu monkey and crown!" ”

Fang Jianxiong could understand the thoughts of these two, Lin Shuqing was a member of the alliance, and neither Shen Tongwu nor Lin Huaichuan was. Regarding Lin Shuqing's actions in Zhenjiang, Lin Huaichuan wants to say that it is impossible to say that there is no mustard, let alone Shen Tongwu. There are only two associations in the ninth town, and one guy was pulled away by Lin Shuqing for one and a half regiments. The fact that the ninth town under the city of Nanjing has no chance to play has a lot to do with this reason.

Xu Shaojiao is in control, so he is naturally very annoyed by Lin Shuqing's disobedience. It's a bit like borrowing a knife to kill people.

Hearing the sound of cannons, Fang Jianxiong was dumbfounded, how did he hit it? Hurriedly took the guard company, and hurried forward to the place where the battle began.

The position of the town army is set up by relying on the railway station, and the Shanghai-Nanjing railway is next to the highway and avenue, and a clip is also set up on the highway. About a platoon of troops was put in, and the strength of about a battalion in the railway station was still the soldiers of the original patrol battalion, and the equipment was also miscellaneous. The town army is so belongings, and they have to defend the city, so naturally they can't put too many troops outside. Fang Jianxiong is going to Suzhou, Zhenjiang is the only way, and it is not impossible to take a real detour, but what about so much equipment? It is clear that the town army is embarrassed by the Anhui army.

The encounter of the Zhen army was much stronger than that of the Qing army in Nanjing, after all, the special mission did not have heavy artillery. But a round of mortar shells fell, and the rate of fire was so fast that a base shell smashed out in ten minutes. It may be that I didn't expect the Anhui army to dare to do it, and the town army did not build any strong fortifications. After a burst of artillery fire, the town army was smashed and stunned.

Before he could come back to his senses, the secret service group rushed fifty meters away. After a dense strafing fire, the suppressed town army couldn't raise its head at all, and rushing to thirty meters was greeted by a round of grenades. The special mission group is the main force among the main forces, and the combat is fast and ruthless. Be ruthless to your enemies, and even more ruthless to yourself!

The sparse shooting of the town army was almost equivalent to no resistance for the secret service group, and it entered the station like a whirlwind. (To be continued......)
