"Liang Baochang, it turned out to be you, you actually disregarded the grace of the saint and colluded with the Xinhua Army, aren't you afraid of being beheaded by the whole family?" Qi Gong, the governor of Liangguang, pointed at Liang Baochang and scolded. Because of his excessive anger, his whole body trembled, and he seemed to faint all of a sudden because of anger. Liang Baochang, as the supreme administrator of Guangdong, actually defected to the enemy, which caused a great shock to Qi Gong.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I am aware of the times. Otherwise, I'll be a prisoner just like you. Besides, you are despicable and shameless, and you actually want to use hundreds of thousands of people in Guangzhou City as human shields, and this shameless behavior should naturally be condemned. I did this so that the city of Guangzhou would not be ruined. Liang Baochang said with his neck tilted. It's just that his bare head looks a little funny.

"You! You ......" Qi Gong trembled with anger, and he didn't know what to say.

The Guangzhou general A Jing'a and the Guangdong land governor Da Libao also looked at Liang Baochang with resentment, if his eyes could kill, Liang Baochang estimated that he didn't know how many times Lu Dao had been killed.

"Okay, three, now that Guangzhou City has been controlled by us, you better be captured!" Lieutenant General Niu Meng, chief of staff of the Xinhua Army, said. Now, Guangzhou City has just been controlled by the Xinhua Army, and there is still a lot of work to do, and he doesn't have much time to waste here.

"Humph! You rebels and thieves, the old man will not surrender to you if he says anything. Qi Gong dropped this sentence. Then he ran a few steps and crashed into a stone lion in front of the Doge's Palace.

only heard a "bang", and Yin Hong's blood flowed out. Qi Gong's whole person fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Come on, take him out of the woods and bury him well!" Lieutenant General Niu Meng shook his head and said. For this kind of person who is stupid and loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even does not hesitate to die, he doesn't know what to say. Anyway. He believes that it is not a pity for these people to die.

Ah Jing A and Da Libao did not have Qi Gong's courage. was caught by the Xinhua army that rushed up, and then sent down and imprisoned. The guards in the governor's palace also obediently laid down their arms and surrendered to the Xinhua army. Qi Gong is dead. Naturally, there was no need for them to hold on any longer. The Xinhua army is powerful. If they continue to resist, it will only increase the casualties.

Later, after the Xinhua Army cleared the Governor's Palace, Lieutenant General Niu Meng officially placed the headquarters here. Subsequently, Lieutenant General Niu Meng held a meeting with the officers of the anxious Xinhua Army to discuss the next action. Liang Baochang and Zhou Lin, although they have just surrendered to the Xinhua Army, the two of them are meritorious heroes. They were also fortunate enough to attend this meeting, which made them even more flattered. As if they were being reused, they felt that it was a wise choice for them to surrender to the Xinhua Army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with the help of Lord Liang and General Zhou, we have taken the city of Guangzhou with less than a hundred casualties. Thanks to the two of you, from now on, they will be a member of our Xinhua country. Lieutenant General Niu Meng said.

The other generals applauded warmly and welcomed Liang Baochang and Zhou Lin to join the Xinhua Army, and the two hurriedly stood up to thank them. As generals, the two knew that now they had to keep a low profile. At the same time, they have to work harder to prove their worth, so that their position in Xinhua can be stabilized. Otherwise, once Xinhuaguo is dissatisfied with them, then they will not have any chance.

"Now, Guangzhou is under our control. The second batch of 4 infantry brigades will land in a few days. Next, our military operations were mainly centered on Guangzhou and expanded in all directions. Qingyuan in the north, Huizhou in the east, Zhaoqing and Yunfu in the west, Leizhou and Lianzhou in the south, etc., must be controlled in their hands. In addition, as soon as possible, send troops to seize strategic points in the north and west, and prepare to meet the counterattack of the Qing army. Lieutenant General Niu Meng said. The coast of Guangdong, east and south are the sea, the navy of the new country occupies an absolute advantage, and the navy of the Qing army is weak, and it is almost impossible to attack Guangdong from the sea. The main enemies faced by the Xinhua Army were the enemies from Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian in the north, and the enemies from Guangxi in the west. In the battle plan drawn up by the ex-wife of the General Staff of the Xinhua Army, 12 infantry brigades and one heavy artillery brigade will be put into Guangdong, and these troops will be enough to cope with the counterattack of the Qing army, and there is even room for further expansion. After the Xinhua Army recruited more troops on the spot, it was time for the Xinhua Army to launch a large-scale attack on the Manchus.

"The city of Guangzhou was defended by the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the 1st Marine Brigade was still defending Shunde. The remaining three brigades, starting tomorrow, will attack in all directions. Strive to rid these areas of the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible. Lieutenant General Niu Meng ordered.

"Yes, Chief of Staff!" Several brigade commanders replied one after another.

"Chief of Staff, Liang has a relationship with officials from various provinces in Guangdong, so it is better for Liang to send someone to inform these officials and let them surrender to Xinhuaguo. Of course, I can't guarantee that it will succeed, but it should have some effect. Liang Baochang took the initiative to say.

"Chief of Staff, I also know some officers of the Green Battalion troops, and I can also go to them, I believe they will make the right choice." Zhou Lin also hurriedly said. Now is the perfect time for them to make meritorious contributions.

"Well, that's fine. Tell those officials and generals that as long as they surrender to Xinhuaguo, they can be blamed for their past mistakes. However, if you still want to continue to be an official, you have to pass the assessment of Xinhuaguo. And in the future, you also need to abide by the rules of Xinhuaguo. Xinhua attaches great importance to the building of a clean and honest government and hates corrupt officials the most. If found to be corrupt, the sentence is punishable by imprisonment or death. If you can't accept it, it's better to be a rich man. The same goes for the generals of the Green Battalion, if they want to continue to serve as soldiers, they can join the Xinhua Army. However, they had to be trained and led by the Xinhua Army. Lieutenant General Niu Meng warned. He knew how dark the Manchu officialdom was. The magistrates, one by one, only thought about making money, and did not think about how to develop the economy at all. For Xinhuaguo, such an official is definitely unqualified.

"Yes, Chief of Staff." Liang Baochang and Zhou Lin hurriedly said. At the same time, they also secretly told themselves that if they wanted to make a difference in Xinhua, they had to be strict with themselves, because some styles in the Manchu officialdom were now unacceptable.

"The appointment of the two of you requires the approval of the Cabinet and His Majesty the King. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, though. In a hurry, Lord Liang was temporarily in charge of the administration of Guangdong and served as acting governor, while General Zhou was in charge of public security in Guangzhou and surrounding cities, and was appointed as the director of the police department. Lieutenant General Niu Meng said. To ensure the stability of the city of Canton and all parts of Guangdong, it was inevitable to appoint locals. As long as they are of good character and are willing to take refuge in Xinhuaguo, then they can be made officials. In particular, Liang Baochang and Zhou Lin made them acting governors and acting directors of the National Police Department, which was also a reward for them.

"Thank you, Chief of Staff." Liang Baochang and Zhou Lin both hurriedly said. They all learned about the official system of Xinhuaguo, the governor of a province is the chief executive of a province, and the director of the National Police Department is also an important person in charge of powerful institutions. They are already very satisfied with such an official position.

"The next thing you have to do is to stabilize the situation in Guangzhou City. First of all, the people of Guangzhou City will know that now our Xinhua Kingdom has entered Guangzhou City. And make an introduction to the situation of Xinhua to the people, so that they can know who we are. In addition, there are also a series of policies of Xinhuaguo, which are also used to publicize them to the people. If we want to gain a foothold in Guangdong, we must have the support of the people. Lieutenant General Niu Meng said.

"Don't worry, the chief of staff, the lower officials will do it well." Liang Bao often patted his chest and reassured. This aspect is exactly his strength.

"Director Zhou, next, the security of Guangzhou will be handed over to you. You can go to the prisoner of war camp and pick up those captured Qing soldiers. However, it is necessary to strictly screen and never allow black sheep to mix into the police force. The police, although not a regular army, are paramilitarized. We have to be guaranteed full control over the police. Soon a group of civil and internal affairs officials will come from Xinhuaguo, and they will assist you when the time comes. Lieutenant General Niu Meng admonished.

"Yes, Chief of Staff." Zhou Lin nodded. He knew that it was impossible for such a powerful mechanism to be completely in the hands of a general like him. However, he didn't care. He believes that as long as he behaves well, the Xinhua Congress will see his efforts. When the time comes, his future will undoubtedly be bright.

After the Xinhua army occupied the city of Guangzhou, on the one hand, it began to purge the remnants of the enemy in the city, and on the other hand, it began to clean up the battlefield and dispose of the corpses and blood stains left in the city. When they found out that the Xinhua Army did not break into the door and bully them, but began to sweep the streets, some bold people walked out of their homes and even talked with those Xinhua troops. They found that these military masters of the Xinhua Kingdom, except for dressing differently from them, were exactly the same as them, with the same black hair and yellow skin, which made them very kind. In addition, the military masters of Xinhua Kingdom are also much easier to talk to, unlike the Qing soldiers, who are fierce and vicious. (To be continued......)
