Chapter 345: Sniping Rebellion
"Where is the duty of the lowly duty, sir, please enter the city!" Qiu Guangcai said and made a gesture of please.
The third battalion commander nodded unceremoniously, and then strode in, and as soon as he entered the city gate, he saw a group of Cantonese soldiers squatting under the city, honestly raising the gun in his hand above his head.
"Company Commander." The commander of the third battalion shouted.
"You company stay here to assist Captain Qiu and them in guarding this group of prisoners and receiving the follow-up troops into the city. The others joined me in the governor's yamen and captured Deshou alive! The third battalion commander commanded loudly.
"Yes!" A company of commanders replied loudly.
"Brothers, rush! Attack the Governor's Mansion and capture Deshou alive! The commander of the third battalion shouted, and rushed in the direction of the governor's yamen with the rest of the more than 300 tiger troops.
It turned out that as early as more than a year ago, Ren Chao sent intelligence personnel to secretly penetrate the Guangdong army, and while probing the intelligence of the Guangdong army, on the other hand, secretly plotting against the soldiers of the Guangdong army. After the South China Sea Fleet was stationed in Guangdong, with the help of the prestige of the Tiger Army, these intelligence departments grew rapidly and successfully rebelled against a large number of Cantonese soldiers, so this time the Tiger Army would easily break through the city of Guangzhou.
Of course, not only the Cantonese army, but Ren Chao's intelligence department has extended the reef to the sphere of influence of various local warlords throughout the country, not only at home. The Tiger Army also has a huge intelligence network abroad, and this huge net is still expanding, as a traverser, Ren Chao naturally knows the importance of intelligence work, so he has always attached great importance to the development of the intelligence department, it is because of Ren Chao's strong support, the intelligence department of the Tiger Army can develop and grow rapidly in such a short period of time.
"Your Excellency! Oh no! The Tiger Ben Army has entered the city of Guangzhou! A Cantonese officer ran into the hall of the governor's yamen in a panic.
At this time, the governor of Liangguang, Deshou, gathered a group of civilian officials and military generals under his command to study how to drive the Tiger Ben army out of Liangguang! Hearing the news suddenly, Deshou was surprised and almost bit his tongue off, "How is this possible?" No matter how powerful the Tiger Army is, it is impossible for them to enter the city so quickly! ”
"Returning to the Governor, as soon as the Tiger Ben Army launched an attack, the Second Association outside the city surrendered without a fight! Then the Tiger Ben army came to the city, and the soldiers guarding the southern city took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender to the Tiger Ben army. Now the Tiger Army has pounced on the Governor's Yamen! The officer hurriedly reported the situation to Deshou in a concise and demanding manner.
When Deshou heard this, his face changed drastically, and he suddenly sat down on the chair, muttering to himself, "It's over!" Finished! It's all over! ”
"Your Excellency the Governor, I suddenly remembered that there was something important to attend to at home! Retired first! ”
"Lord Governor, my humble father has been sick in bed for several months, and I am afraid that I will be dazed in the past two days.
"Your Excellency the Governor, I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my stomach, and I thought I had eaten it at noon. Ah! I can't stand it anymore, so let's go home first! ”
Nima! Go home and go to the thatched house! If you think about it, doesn't the dignified Yamen of the Liangguang Governor even have a thatched house?
The so-called tree fell and scattered, the wall fell down and everyone pushed, originally this group of civil officials and military generals under Deshou, there were many people who did not agree to rebel, at this time saw that the tiger army had entered the city of Guangzhou, the Guangdong army was defeated like a mountain, and the general trend of Deshou has gone. So the guys immediately came up with all sorts of reasons within a minute. Regardless of whether Deshou agrees or not, he turns around and leaves.
Looking at the crowd that dispersed, Deshou couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "My Qing Dynasty was not destroyed in the hands of Ren Chao." It's all ruined by the hands of these shafters! ”
But sighing and sighing, the top priority is to save your life first. Deshou immediately got up and returned to the backyard, beckoning his wives and concubines to quickly pack up their things and prepare to flee for their lives, as for where to flee. Deshou had already thought about it and fled directly to Hong Kong, which was the territory of the British. No matter how powerful he is, he always has to give the British some face, as long as he escapes to Hong Kong, his little life can be saved.
Now it is important to save his life, and Deshou can't care about cleaning up, but he just took a stack of silver tickets with him, and then took his wife and children out of the back door, and there were already three carriages waiting here again.
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot rang out, and as soon as Deshou boarded the carriage headed by him, a blazing bullet mercilessly smashed his head, and Deshou's fat body fell directly off the carriage.
Just after Deshou announced the telegram, the Ministry of Military Intelligence had already issued an order to the special agents in Guangzhou City to wait for an opportunity to kill Deshou. It's just that Deshou has been hiding in the governor's yamen to plot a rebellion, and these agents didn't find a chance to do it. However, the entire front door and backyard of the governor's yamen were already under the secret surveillance of the secret agents, so as soon as Dekushou went out, he was sniped by snipers who were ambushed nearby.
After the death of Deshou, the Cantonese army in Guangzhou was even more chaotic, as soon as the large number of marines entered the city, most of the Cantonese soldiers took the initiative to surrender to the Tiger Ben army, and some of them sneaked away. There are very few people who dare to stand up to the Tiger Army. In this way, the Marines captured the entire city of Canton without much effort.
After Zhang Haiping got the news, he immediately sent a telegram to Ren Chao and reported the exciting good news to Ren Chao.
"Handsome! Good news, Zhang Haiping has just sent a telegram saying that the Marines have successfully captured the city of Guangzhou, and the governor of Liangguang, Deshou, has also been shot dead by the people of the Military Intelligence Department! Zhang Jichang said excitedly with the telegram in his hand.
"Good! Well done! Give me a great credit for Zhang Haiping and the Military Intelligence Department! Ren Chao was also very happy when he heard this, raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and Deshou made a call at eight o'clock in the morning, which means that it only took us seven hours to put down the rebellion!" My Tiger Ben Army is so mighty, why worry about the uncertainty of the world! ”
"Yes! If it weren't for the intelligence they sent in advance, we would have been prepared, and later assisted the Marines to break through Guangzhou, and then assassinated Deshou, I am afraid it would not be so easy to quell this rebellion. Zhang Jichang nodded with a smile and said.
Ren Chao also smiled and nodded, in fact, as early as a few days ago, when Deshou began to plot a rebellion, Ren Chao had already gotten the news, but Ren Chao did not take any measures at that time, but secretly ordered Zhang Haiping to prepare for the rebellion, that is, when Deshou openly rebelled, then Ren Chao would have sufficient reasons to kill Deshou openly and take Liangguang into his pocket.
