Chapter 167 Suzhou is in sight

Luo Xuan's weapons and equipment are equivalent to the general standard of the Taiping Army, flintlock pistols, arquebuses, bows and arrows, spears and broadswords are all available, and bullets must be used sparingly, how can they be used to shoot people?

This made Luo Xuan more sure that Hong Xuanjiao had reaped great benefits in southern Jiangsu, and his eyes were a little red, as a force, money is important, weapons and equipment are also indispensable, with enough guns and artillery, he can attack the Jiangbei camp outside Yangzhou City, so that his power can further expand to the north, and then open up the connection with Huaibei Twist, which can not only rely on each other, but also gain enough voice within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

It's just that although the wish is good, there is a danger that the current shape is imminent, if the other party really dares to fire, maybe he will have to confess, Luo Xuan had to forcibly press the greed, his eyes widened, his eyes stared straight at Chen Alin like a blade, and the power of the superior rose to the sky!

Chen Alin was unmoved, he looked at him without showing weakness, he only admired Wang Feng, and he didn't have any sense of déjà vu for Luo Outline, even Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, he had already identified himself as a soldier of the Chinese Democratic Alliance Army in his heart, not a member of the Taiping Army, and Luo Outline's shameless request made him deeply disgusted with the Taiping Army.

The city was silent and silent, the muzzle of the soldiers at the head of the city was slanted down, the butt of the gun was against the shoulder socket, and the eyes were full of ruthlessness, and the Luo outline department under the city was forced to be calm!

Luo Xuan fell into a deep embarrassment, he couldn't be sure whether Chen Alin dared to shoot or not, the price of misjudgment was life!

Time passed minute by minute, and Wu Xiaoru finally couldn't help but say: "Chen Alin, I don't believe you dare to shoot!" ”

Chen Alin was a black and thin man, grinning with a mouthful of white teeth and smiling: "Before I waited for me to come to Changzhou, Xiao Wangniang had already said that she would be on top of everything, if you don't believe it, you will try it fifty feet ahead!" ”

"Humph!" Wu Xiaoru snorted heavily as if he didn't know you, but he didn't move his footsteps, in the end, he still didn't dare to gamble with his life on the fifty zhang red line!

Hong Xuanjiao is the head of the women's camp of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, if she is strictly true, Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing's many princesses will also be managed by her, and there is actually no relationship between Yang Xiuqing who belongs to whom, but Yang Xiuqing is strong and the incarnation of the Heavenly Father, Hong Xuanjiao is just under the orders of the East Palace.

After Chen Alin stacked the cruel words, Luo Outline was basically sure that he had planted it, and he couldn't help but have the idea that a hero would not suffer the losses in front of him, but there must be a step to retreat, and he Luo Outline was scared away by a small brigade commander, and his face couldn't be hung up!

Just as he was secretly thinking, a fast horse suddenly galloped in the distance, which attracted everyone's attention.

The fast horse quickly stopped, and a knight turned over and said, "General Luo, Deng Shaoliang of the Jiangnan battalion led five thousand troops to Zhenjiang!" ”

Although Deng Shaoliang came to attack unexpectedly, Luo Xuan was not afraid, on the contrary, this news was obviously a step for him, so he pointed upward: "There is a Qing demon taking advantage of the weakness to attack, I won't worry about you first, but this matter is not over, I will report to the East King, you wait!" After speaking, he turned his head and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order and returns to Zhenjiang quickly!" ”

Luo Xuan arranged some men to inform the other detachments to retreat, and led the army to run back along the same road, and it didn't take long for the city to be empty.

A soldier from Xiangyong couldn't help but say: "Count Luo outline acquaintance, otherwise you have to let him leave his life!" ”

Chen Alin shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to turn his face, if you can do it as much as possible, the commander-in-chief and the commander also have difficulties, the key is that it takes time for us to integrate southern Jiangsu, as long as we can have a buffer of one or two years and lay a foundation, there is no need to worry about this and that, let's go down and settle down in the city quickly." ”

"Yes!" Except for a small number of people who were left behind, everyone else followed Chen Alin downward.

The main task of the whole army is to preach the policy and calm the people's hearts, in the busy, the time came to the evening, Wang Feng and Hong Xuanjiao led the first division and some women's special divisions from the early morning, and also rushed to the city of Suzhou in the evening.

The tradition of the Taiping Army was that men and women fought together, so Zhou Xiuying split the women's special division as a company unit and assigned them to various cities to specialize in women's work, while she herself followed Wang Feng to Suzhou.

The city gate of Suzhou is wide open, the land and water wharf is empty, only hundreds of people dressed as squires gather at the city gate, with the eyesight of Wang Feng, Hong Xuanjiao and Zhou Xiuying, you can clearly see that the faces of these people are more or less uneasy.

Hong Xuanjiao quickly retracted her gaze and said casually: "Xiuying, I heard about the prosperity of Suzhou in my early years in Guangzhou, you are from Qingpu County, you must come often, you have to take me for a good visit when you have time." ”

Zhou Xiuying didn't make a sound, Hong Xuanjiao couldn't help but look over, and saw Zhou Xiuying searching through the crowd with wide eyes, looking deaf.

"What's wrong with so-young?" Hong Xuanjiao lightly pulled Wang Feng.

"Look at me!" Wang Feng smiled and patted Zhou Xiuying's shoulder: "I said big sister, aren't you looking for Zhong Dianxuan?" As the dignified governor of Suzhou Prefecture, Lord Zhong should be waiting for you to meet you at the mansion, how can he deign to welcome you? ”

Zhou Xiuying's face suddenly turned red, and she said angrily: "Who said that I chose Zhong Dian?" I'll see who they are, can't I? ”

"Oh?" Wang Feng said unrelentingly: "Then tell me, who are they?" ”

"Why should I sue you!" Zhou Xiuying replied angrily, and turned her head to the side.

Hong Xuanjiao understood, Zhou Xiuying was indeed looking for Zhong Dianxuan, although Xizuo had reported that Zhong Dianxuan had abandoned the city and fled, but his biological father was cut alive and could not be described as deep as the sea at all, out of human nature, Zhou Xiuying may be fantasizing that Zhong Dianxuan did not escape, so he had this strange move, but Wang Feng is not a good bird, which pot is not opened, which pot is not opened, and he sprinkles salt on other people's wounds!

Hong Xuanjiao lost a reproachful look, and continued to look forward.

Regarding Wang Feng's name, he has been spread crazy among the gentry in Suzhou in the past two days, on the one hand, he is murderous and invincible, and he swept through southern Jiangsu with only two or three thousand miscellaneous troops, and on the other hand, it is related to the unification of taxes on peasants and landlords into ten taxes and one, and does not levy any donations and miscellaneous taxes in addition, and also lets Shanghai go alone and let the Shanghainese themselves toss and turn.

As the distance approached, the gentry led by Shen Mingshao and Bei Jinen gradually saw this army clearly, both male and female soldiers, the number was not large, about 6,000 people, and they did not carry heavy weapons such as artillery, and there were a few people riding horses in front of the team, and everyone's eyes gradually moved over, wanting to find out who Wang Feng was.

There are five people in sight, two men and three women, all wearing clothes and hats similar to foreigners, and the three women are automatically ignored, and these two men, one is older, in his twenties, honest and shrewd, and the other is less than twenty, with relatively delicate eyebrows and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
