After Wu Jianzhang returned to the Yamen, where there were no chairs or tables, Su Songtai quickly re-established the Qing court's rule over Shanghai, and issued many proclamations to advise the people, saying that the thief army had been completely annihilated and that the people could live and work in peace and contentment in the future. Pro, Baidu search eye & fast, a large number of novels are free to read.

In fact, he didn't say it right, although these knife clubs in Shanghai were defeated by Yu Shengjun, but still escaped a lot of people, according to outside news that Liu Lichuan, who escaped, had gathered more than 2,000 defeated soldiers, and crossed the Huangpu River towards Fengxian County, Jinshan County and other places.

The Shanghai Xiaodaohui rebels suffered heavy losses in the battle of Shanghai, and in the first two hours of Yu Sheng's siege, they were only killed and wounded in the first few hundred people, and then when Yu Sheng's army blew up the city walls and entered the city, the casualties of the rebel army, which had begun to collapse and lose its organization, increased dramatically.

After they escaped from the city, they were continuously pursued by Qian Niubei's cavalry company and suffered many casualties.

According to later statistics, Yu Shengjun killed a total of more than 1,300 people in the Shanghai Xiaodaohui rebel army in this battle, and the wounded were not counted, and Liu Lichuan later collected only more than 2,000 routs.

Although the number of rebels in the Little Knife Society is tens of thousands, most of them were ordinary peasants a month ago, and at the moment when the city was broken, most of them chose to throw down their knives and guns, took off their military uniforms, and became ordinary people.

This is the biggest reason why Yu Shengjun can't kill and injure more rebels, it's not that they can't be defeated, but people just ran away and took off their military uniforms and threw away knives and guns, you really can't tell whether they are rebels or ordinary people.

Of course, this is also the reason why Liu Lichuan was unable to gather more defeated troops, although there were many rebels who escaped from the city, but most of them went directly back to their hometown to become farmers.

In addition to some of the core members of the Little Knife Society, the rest of the 2,000 defeated soldiers collected by Liu Lichuan were also deserters.

How many casualties did Yu Shengjun, who had defeated tens of thousands of people and killed and wounded more than 1,000 enemy troops?

Thirty-eight people!

Of these, twelve were killed and twenty-six wounded, most of them caused by the short hand-to-hand combat with the rebels when the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Corps first stormed the city, and the remainder were casualties suffered by the cavalry company while pursuing the enemy.

In addition, in the battles of Qingpu and Jiading, since Yu Sheng's army marched into southern Jiangsu, the current casualties are less than 100, and this casualty figure also includes the wounded caused by various accidents during the non-combat period.

And they accumulated a total of nearly 15,000 defeated the rebels of the Little Knife Society, and killed more than 1,800 rebels.

This huge casualty ratio once again proves that the feudal armies armed with cold weapons can only suffer one-sided slaughter in the face of modern armies with artillery and Mini rifles.

Including the examples of Yu Shengjun's wars, the two ** wars and other foreign war examples have shown that the gap between the modern army and the feudal army is almost all-round.

After Wu Jianzhang returned to the county seat of Shanghai, the city of Shanghai was quickly restored to its original order, the only difference was that the city gate and the soldiers of the Yu Shengjun could be seen everywhere in the city.

The people of Shanghai County, who had been terrified for more than a month before going to the streets, could often see Yu Shengjun soldiers in strange uniforms patrolling the streets in neat queues, and occasionally Yu Shengjun officers wearing war horses and double-breasted military uniforms swaggering past.

Today's Shanghai is different from the Shanghai of the past!

This difference is also reflected in the Shanghai officialdom, the former Wu Jianzhang returned to Shanghai, and brought with him some of the former Su Song Taidao officials, but in addition to these officials, there is another person in the city.

He is Lin Zhe.

After Lin Zhe entered the city, he did not regard the county government and government offices in the county seat as his station, but the same as when he was stationed in Huzhou, after Lin Zhe entered the city, he chose to place the military headquarters in a courtyard near the north city gate, and the soldiers of Yu Shengjun used a house near the north city gate that was originally requisitioned by the Xiaodaohui rebel army as a military camp.

The reason why Lin Zhe did not directly requisition the local official yamen as a residence was to avoid all kinds of disputes and troubles with the local government.

The second is that he is still used to placing his military headquarters inside the barracks, otherwise he will not feel safe. Lin Zhe is still a person who is afraid of death in essence, you let him leave the barracks and live in the Daotai Yamen, to be honest, Lin Zhe is really not at ease.

And today, in an ordinary courtyard in the Yu Shengjun barracks near the North City Gate, Lin Zhe met with Wu Jianzhang and other officials at the temporary military headquarters.

Most of these officials, like Wu Jianzhang, fled to nearby prefectures and counties after the Xiaodaohui rebels captured the county seat of Shanghai, some fled directly into the concession, and some even went directly to Songjiang, and now after Yu Shengjun recaptured Shanghai, they hurriedly ran back to continue to be their officials.

"Lord Wu, this time I can quickly pacify the people in the city, or rely on you to be able to come back in time!" Lin Zhe faced these people and said a word.

Wu Jianzhang also slightly saw the perfunctory and impatience in Lin Zhe's tone, but he did not show any displeasure.

Although Wu Jianzhang is Su Songtai's soldiers, he is a real fourth-grade official of the imperial court, and he looked down on Lin Zhe 100% in the past, just like Qu Shengchao, the prefect of Huzhou, looked down on Lin Zhe.

However, now, after seeing Yu Shengjun under Lin Zhe, his attitude towards Lin Zhe has changed almost immediately, and he knows that he can recapture Shanghai so quickly by relying on Lin Zhe's Yu Shengjun.

Moreover, this Lin Zhe is the commander of an army of thousands at a young age, and more importantly, this army has won consecutive battles, looking at the near future, it is very possible for this young man to climb to a high position.

In the face of a person who may climb to a high position, Wu Jianzhang naturally cannot show dissatisfaction just because the other party's attitude is a little perfunctory.

Those who are annoyed and angry because they have suffered a little grievance in their hearts will not be able to achieve great things, let alone become high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

No matter what the era, these officials may be corrupt, accused of mediocrity, etc., but it is undeniable that they can become middle and high-level officials in a country with hundreds of millions of people, on the contrary, they are all human spirits.

For example, this Wu Jianzhang, this person is actually not simple, he is one of the few middle and high-level officials in modern China who can deal with foreigners, and the imperial court gave him the test language of 'Tongyi Zhicai'.

Wu Jianzhang was personally responsible for negotiating and signing the "Regulations on the Lease of Land in Shanghai" and the "Customs Taxation Rules", personally facilitating the establishment of the Shanghai French Concession and the American Concession, and allowing the Shanghai Concession to obtain administrative and taxation rights, so that the Shanghai Concession officially became a country within a country, and also directly contributed to the establishment of the Chinese Customs and allowed foreigners to intervene in the Chinese customs system.

Such a great achievement is not something that ordinary people can do.

After all, if you want to betray the country, you have to have that ability, at least the countless cents leading the way party on the Internet is just talking about it at most, if you want to sell the country, they don't have that ability!

Wu Jianzhang is undoubtedly a capable person, so he did not express any dissatisfaction with Lin Zhe's obvious perfunctory attitude, but continued to smile and said: "Lord Lin is strict, Wu is just doing his own job, the city can be restored so quickly, or rely on your soldiers to effectively maintain order in the city!" ”

After Lin Zhe and Wu Jianzhang talked about it again, Wu Jianzhang said with a straight face: "Before I came, I had already received a letter from Lord Futai, saying that Lord Futai would lead the army to Shanghai tomorrow!" ”

Lin Zhe nodded: "Oh, Xu Futai is not slow!" ”

The words are good, Xu Naizhao led 3,000 Qing troops from Jiading and other places, although it was only a few tens of kilometers before and after, but the speed of the army's march was limited, even Yu Shengjun only walked about 20 kilometers a day, as for the Qing troops led by Xu Naizhao, they were praised for being able to walk 15 kilometers on this day.

Unless it's a run for your life, you don't have to expect the Green Battalion soldiers of this era to have the same speed as a normal army.

It was not easy for Xu Naizhao to arrive in Shanghai in just a few days with such a Qing army.

"Xu Futai will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of work at that time, I don't know if Lord Wu wants me to help?" Lin Zhe said.

He didn't say this because he was worried about Wu Jianzhang's thoughts, but because he attached great importance to Xu Naizhao.

The previous cooperation between him and Xu Naizhao was very good, Xu Naizhao's promise of 80,000 taels of silver and 300 war horses had all been delivered, and the silver had been paid off when he arrived in Songjiang, and after the war horses were accepted in Jiangsu, another batch of more than 100 war horses had been sent to Huzhou and accepted by Yu Shengjun stationed in Huzhou.

In addition, Xu Naizhao also strictly ordered the local government to supply Yu Shengjun with rice and military supplies.

Although Lin Zhe knew that Xu Naizhao was thinking about his own official hat, and in many previous battles, Xu Naizhao also hid behind and watched Yu Shengjun and the Xiaodaohui rebels fight to the death.

But I have to say that only from the level of cooperation, Xu Naizhao is a very good collaborator, and all kinds of promises were delivered in a timely manner, without any delay, and there was no secret deduction of part of the military funds.

This is much better than other contemporary Qing court officials, you must know that the military expenses provided by Huang Zonghan, the governor of Zhejiang, to Lin Zhe and Yu Shengjun were all deducted according to bad habits.

As for hiding behind and not coming forward, on the one hand, Lin Zhe didn't want him to come up and get in the way, and on the other hand, Xu Naizhao smashed down so much silver, you don't allow people to move to the bench to watch the play in the back!

Since you have taken so much money from other people, you must have the consciousness of being a thug!

The previous cooperation was so smooth, which couldn't help but make Lin Zhe have other thoughts, if he continued to cooperate with Xu Naizhao, maybe he would be able to get greater benefits from southern Jiangsu.

For example, in the name of what you need!

The title of the co-organizer of the Zhejiang League Training Co-organizer and the superintendent of the Huzhou Donation Bureau does not work in Jiangsu, he needs an official name on the ground in Jiangsu, a name that can make his Yu Shengjun take root in southern Jiangsu.

In this regard, Lin Zhe is still looking forward to Xu Naizhao's arrival! xh118
