Chapter 64: Anqing Rebellion

There was a lot of gunfire outside the city, and Zhu Jiabao in the governor's yamen was quite calm, sitting upright and giving orders. Fang Jianxiong stood behind Zhu Jiabao like a javelin, his face was solemn, as if anyone who dared to violate Lord Futai would definitely die under his gun. No matter how you look at it, he is a loyal minister who protects the sky.

The guards at the door are also teaching team members, and those who enter the lobby will be strictly checked. This move caused dissatisfaction among some officials, but Zhu Jiabao did not deny it, and everyone had to endure it.

The gunshots became more and more urgent, and Fang Jianxiong's heart was not calm. Although these revolutionaries are not wise, they can be regarded as part of the essence of the nation in this era, and it is always a distressing thing to consume them like this. You know, the Chinese of this era, ninety out of sixty-four chapters Anqing chaos is illiterate!

Yu Dahong hurriedly came in and quickly glanced at Fang Jianxiong, who was standing behind Zhu Jiabao.

"My lord, the anti-thief Xue Zhe wanted to seize the city gate, but was repelled by the patrol battalion. The anti-thief Fan Chuanjia has been taken down. ”

When Zhu Jiabao heard the news, his face, which had been tense, relaxed slightly, and the officials at all levels in Anqing who gathered together also expressed their congratulations.

"Okay, pass the order down, repel the thieves, and both officers and soldiers will be rewarded! Those who offer the head of Xiong Chengji, the leader of the anti-thieves, will be rewarded with 500 silver dollars, and ordinary anti-thieves will be rewarded with 10 silver dollars for each head. ”

Zhu Jiabao gave an order, and Yu Dahong retired.

Looking back at Fang Jianxiong, who had been standing behind him, Zhu Jiabao said in his heart that although Fang Fuguo did not go into battle to fight, he could report in time and escort Ben Fu back to the city, which was really the first achievement.

At this time, another herald came to report that on the river outside the city, two warships of the imperial court sailors came. Before Zhu Jiabao could rejoice when he heard the news, he heard several distant muffled sounds in a row, followed by a roar.

"What's going on?" Zhu Jiabao asked in a lost voice. Fang Jianxiong thought for a moment and said, "It should be the battalion of the anti-thief artillery shelling the city gate, the strange thing is that why some cannonballs didn't explode?" ”

Zhu Jiabao showed a hint of panic and said: "Chapter 64 Anqing Rebellion has a cannon!" The gates may be lost. A cadre of officials showed panicked expressions, and Jichang stood up directly and said in a panic: "I'll go out and have a look first." ”

Zhu Jiabao showed a trace of disdain, and said in his heart that he was going to run. Fang Jianxiong said unhurriedly in the back: "The new army is equipped with 57 guns, which is not a big threat to the strong city wall. Moreover, there seems to be a problem with the shells, and the number of troops in the city is several times larger, so it is not surprising that the city defense is unhindered. ”

As he was talking, Yu Dahong rushed in again and said, "My lord, the anti-thieves are attacking the city urgently, and the patrol battalion is asking for help!" ”

Zhu Jiabao panicked when he heard this, and quickly calmed down and said: "You take people to the city gate to supervise the battle, and Ben Futai ordered the battleships on the river to fire artillery reinforcements!" ”

Outside the city, the flames soared into the sky, and the surveying and mapping camp school was burned. Xiong Chengji's young face burst out with a pair of eyes bursting with fanaticism. It seems that the city of Anqing in front of him was breached, and the Qing Dynasty collapsed.

The bombardment of the artillery battalions was very poor, and many shells did not explode at all. Xiong Chengji was anxious and looked forward to a response from the city. An hour had passed since the appointed time, and there was no movement in the city. Xiong Chengji is basically desperate for Neiying! Assault becomes the only way!

As the night passed, a night of gunfire rang out outside the city. Zhu Jiabao stayed awake all night, and Fang Jianxiong also stood behind him all night. In fact, several times Fang Jianxiong wanted to order the teaching team to take Zhu Jiabao to take over the new army outside the city to enter the city. But they all gave up at the last moment, the reason is very simple, the current Fang Jianxiong is not to mention Yuan Shikai, even compared to the eighth and ninth towns that are participating in the autumn exercises, they are as weak as ants.

Time passed very slowly in anxiety, and the herald came to report again, and the sailor said that the life of the cannon barrel was limited, and there was no order from above, so he refused to fire the cannon. At this time, it was already dawn, and Zhu Jiabao, who hadn't slept all night, had blisters on the corners of his mouth.

Bang! slapped the table vigorously, Zhu Jiabao said angrily: "If the sailor doesn't fire again, he will not stop after the incident!" ”

The siege outside the city continued, and the time was already in the afternoon, and finally the naval division opened fire, and the positions of the new army's artillery battalion were severely damaged.

Fang Jianxiong heard the sound of the naval guns, and sighed in his heart. Leaned over and whispered in Zhu Jiabao's ear: "I'm afraid that there will be chaos in the city for a while, and the chaotic parties are all outlaws. ”

"Okay, you go, you go!" Zhu Jiabao nodded again and again, the night siege was over, and something had to happen at the last moment to be wronged. Fang Jianxiong said again: "There are teaching team members guarding outside the hall to ensure the safety of adults. ”

Out of the hall, the sound of gunfire outside the city gradually faded away, and Fang Jianxiong sighed helplessly. Trying to maintain his inner peace, let Qi Erzhu call for cold rain.

The cold rain came quickly, and this young man was the one with the best military skills in the teaching team, and he was selected into the special service class and appointed to the position of squad leader.

"My lord, what do you command?" Leng Yu's face was solemn, and he didn't seem to be in high spirits. Fang Jianxiong looked around, they were all his own people, and sighed: "I know you feel uncomfortable, but I can't help it." How many steps is it from Taihu Lake to Anqing? The tens of thousands of troops in the eighth and ninth towns, even if they take Anqing City, will not be able to hold it, but will consume the revolutionary power in vain because of meaningless recklessness. Xiong Chengji outside the city is our lesson. ”

Leng Yu hesitated for a moment, and said with a snap: "I understand, please give an order." ”

Fang Jianxiong stretched out his hand and pressed Leng Yu's shoulder, and said with a straight face: "You take the spy squad out of the city, under the pretext that you are going to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and after leaving the city, you will follow the retreating Xiong Chengji, if they are in critical condition, you will help some." In short, we must do our best to preserve these revolutionary forces and bring them to Wuhu to settle down. You have to remember that you must not be forced to wait for the right opportunity. ”

"I see, do what you want!" Leng Yu said that there was no problem, and Fang Jianxiong waved his hand and motioned for him to go out of the city.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, there was no hope of breaking the city, the artillery was destroyed, the heavy artillery of the naval division on the river threatened, and the defenders of the city head were tightly guarded. Xiong Chengji finally gave up his plan to take Anqing, left behind more than seventy corpses, and turned to Hefei. More than 1,000 Xiongbu people passed through Tongcheng and Shucheng, entered the territory of Hefei, encountered hundreds of cavalry of Jiang Gui's department, and repelled Jiang's department. Immediately faced with the general army Tanaka Yu, it was expected to be invincible. Because a subordinate wanted to kill the bear and receive the reward, the bear was disheartened, disbanded everyone, and failed.

After Anqing City quieted down, Taihu County was in turmoil. Duan Fang learned of the rebellion of the new army in Anhui, and there were many officers in the ninth town who were born in the Anhui martial arts hall, and the relationship between the two armies has always been good.

Worried that the 9th Town would collude with the Anhui rebels, the Duan Fang ordered the 8th Town to surround the 9th Town camp, and ordered the 33rd Standard to move to the riverside and camp, and the four warships of the water division were aimed at the battalion of the division with naval guns.

The ninth town was wiped out several times because of the Anqing incident. Fortunately, Xu Shaojiao persuaded Duan Fang that it was not easy to establish the Ninth Town, and the whole army did not know about the Anqing Rebellion. If there is a connection in advance, it will inevitably respond to the action, and it is not the current situation. So, the Ninth Town is innocent.

Duanfang accepted this explanation and ordered the Ninth Town to get on the boat and return to Jiangning, and in order to appease the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Town, each of them also issued a commemorative cup for the autumn exercise ordered by the official kiln of Jingdezhen. The cup is very beautiful, in the shape of oval leaves, with a pink peony flower pattern, which is taken as "a piece of Dan heart", and the words "commemoration of autumn exercises near Taihu Lake in the 32nd year of Guangxu". Duan Fang also gave some folding fans with handwritten inscriptions to the officers he knew.

Gossip aside, the city of Anqing is a different scene, the patrol battalion vigorously hunts down the hidden rebel party in the city. The people in the city closed their doors and did not come out, and the market was extremely depressed.

In the council room, the officials, who had been terrified before, regained their high-spirited posture. In the hall, how to settle accounts after the autumn was being discussed, and in another courtyard, Fang Jianxiong was meeting Li Qianyu. Although Li Qianyu and other brothers of the teaching team did not respond to the incident, they were surrounded by the patrol battalion ordered by Yu Dahong afterwards. Li Qianyu sneaked out of the barracks to see Fang Jianxiong.

"This time you guys are calm, I'm satisfied! However, we cannot relax yet, and it is foreseeable that Zhu Jiabao and Yu Dahong will frantically hunt down revolutionaries. Later, I will vouch for the brothers of the teaching team in front of Zhu Jiabao, and after you go back, contact the brothers and try your best to help cover those revolutionary parties, although the Anqing revolutionary party has made the mistake of adventurism, but they are the revolutionary forces of China after all, and we, who also aim to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, must not sit idly by. But it's still the same sentence, don't be reluctant, if you can save one, you can't put yourself in. Their revolution failed, and ours continues. I firmly believe that revolutionaries are like a spring breeze blowing through the weeds on the earth, one comrade falls, and more comrades stand up! Revolutionaries wiped the blood off their bodies, buried the bodies of their comrades, and plunged into a new battle! Our revolution must succeed, and our revolution will succeed. After a heart-wrenching and emotional flicker, Li Qianyu, a strong-willed revolutionary in history, was successfully brainwashed by Fang Otaku. With a solemn face, he said: "Please rest assured, I will definitely warn my brothers to save themselves, continue to grow their strength, and wait for the opportunity." And act at the opportunity to rescue the revolutionary comrades. ”

Fang Jianxiong sent Li Qianyu away, and Fang Jianxiong, who had a dry mouth, secretly wiped a handful of sweat from his head, it seems that doing ideological work for others is really not an easy job, and in the future, he must find some subordinates with sharp mouths to do ideological work full-time. Turned around to see Zhu Jiabao. Seeing Fang Jianxiong coming in, Zhu Jiabao said with a smile on his face: "Fuguo went to inspect and guard again, it's really hard." ”

Fang Jianxiong stepped forward and said, "It's not hard!" This is a lowly business. My lord, there is another matter of humiliation, please be aware of it. ”

Zhu Jiabao was surprised when he heard this: "What's the matter with supporting the country?" ”

Fang Jianxiong said: "In this incident of chaos in the party, the forty low-level officers from my teaching team have reported in advance, and their subordinates have never been in chaos at the time of the incident. Humble and special credit for them! ”

Fang Jianxiong is one of Zhu Jiabao's most trusted people at the moment, hearing him say this, he couldn't help frowning, glanced at Yu Dahong on the opposite side and said: "The new army from the teaching team and its subordinates, there is no problem in loyalty. As for the merits, each person will be rewarded with fifty silver dollars, and the official will be promoted to one level! ”

Yu Dahong was secretly unhappy when he heard this, he was the co-ordinator! However, thinking that Fang Jianxiong was popular right now, and he was not competing with himself for the position of co-ordination, Yu Dahong endured it.

"Yes, please rest assured, the humble duty will be followed." Yu Dahong got up to speak, and Fang Jianxiong said again: "My lord, I am worried that the chaotic party will lose the army and go in the direction of Wuhu, so please set off immediately and hurry back to Wuhu to prevent accidents." ”
