Chapter 534: The Dilemma of the Twisted Army

Luo Xuan committed suicide, the Zhenjiang Taiping Army surrendered, and in the afternoon of the same day, the news reached Yangzhou, which was across the river, and the Yangzhou Taiping Army also opened the city to surrender to Su Sanniang's department, without any conflict, as if everyone took it for granted.

The next day, Wang Feng, who came in a hurry, met with Wu Ruxiao, Wu Yingcai, and other important generals, and after encouraging them, he announced loudly: "In the name of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Democratic Alliance Army, I appoint Wu Ruxiao as the commander of the 11th Army, and I will temporarily reorganize in place, and Wu Yingcai will temporarily serve as the commander of the Yellow Sea Fleet, commanding the naval division, and after the reorganization is completed, I will go to Qingdao to prepare for the establishment of the Yellow Sea Fleet of the Democratic Alliance Navy." ”

"Commander Wu, Commander Wu, congratulations!" The generals of the Democratic Alliance led by Su Sanniang stepped forward to say hello.

"Where, where! Thank you! Wu Ruxiao and Wu Yingcai hurriedly returned the gift, and their hearts were also full of gratitude, you know, in terms of their status in the Taiping Army, they are not as good as Su Sanniang, Lin Fengxiang and other party members, they are just generals under Luo Xuan, one level worse, and when it comes to origin and closeness, it is also far behind.

Su Sanniang is Wang Feng's sister-in-law, I heard that there is still a little ambiguity, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were exchanged by Wang Feng from the execution ground, and they have the grace to save their lives, and they should repay each other with all their hearts, Shi Dakai, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng met Wang Feng at the end of the year, and they know the roots, and on their own side, except for Wu Ruxiao and Wang Feng, who had a not friendly meeting, there was almost no contact, and more importantly, he forced Luo Outline to death, no matter what the reason, it was always an indelible stain, but now, his status is no less than any of the above people.

This made the generals and soldiers of the Eleventh Army and the Yellow Sea Fleet both grateful for Wang Feng's generosity, but also felt extremely stressed, in addition to repaying with their lives. What else can you get in return?

Wang Feng seemed to see through this thought, and patted Wu Ruxiao and Wu Yingcai on the shoulders respectively. Zhengse said: "Luo Outline is stubborn, I gave him a chance." But he doesn't cherish it, and having this end is both sad and pathetic, but also hateful and pitiful.

Okay, the past is over, next, your task is to integrate into our big family as soon as possible, this time you can't catch up with the battle against Nanyue, but it's okay. If you want to fight more opportunities, I hope that the next time you fight against the Hunan army, you can become the main force and win the first merit in breaking the enemy! ”

"Yes!" All the officers and men of the Eleventh Army and the Yellow Sea Fleet headed by Wu Ruxiao and Wu Yingcai saluted together, and their mood was extremely agitated.

Wang Feng also saluted in return, and said with a smile: "I'm here tonight, I'll set up a banquet to entertain you, and now we'll all be busy." ”

"Yes!" Led by veterans of the NLD Army, the units left separately. In the evening of the same day, on the beach by the Zhenjiang River, a grand dinner party large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people was in full swing, and pigs, cattle and sheep were slaughtered in batches. Blood stained the surface of the river, chickens, ducks and geese were driven over in groups, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits were piled up into small mountains. The wine vats are neatly stacked, and the dense earthen stove exudes an attractive aroma!

This reflects the abundant financial and material resources of the NLD forces. It also strengthened the confidence of the new soldiers to join the big family of the Democratic League, and the Taiping Army in Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, did not block the flow of materials under the condition that the Democratic Alliance Army did not block the flow of materials. Although it is not too full, it is basically coarse tea and light rice.

In fact, it is not difficult to cultivate a sense of belonging, everyone gets together to eat and drink well, talk nonsense, and when you wake up after getting drunk, you will have a sense of belonging.

Contrary to the heat of the Zhenjiang Riverside, the base camp of the Twist Army in Bozhou is bleak and deserted, and on the empty and dilapidated streets, pedestrians are all yellow-skinned and thin, with hunger flashing in their eyes, and even some women are unclothed, only relying on a dirty felt cloth to wrap the important parts of the body, occasionally there is smoke coming out of the house, and the pot is often stewed in a pot of wild vegetables and various grains.

Bozhou Yuanzhou Ya, the current Han Dynasty Ming Ming Wang's Mansion, Zhang Lexing and Zhang Zongyu's uncle and nephew stood on the watchtower, looking at the calm street, full of sorrow.

"Uncle, we have the Democratic Alliance Army in the east, Shi Da Kaibu in the south, not an inch can be entered, there is a strong enemy Li Hongzhang in the south direction of the northwest Henan, although there are only a few thousand regiments to practice, but he is as cunning as a fox, and our army has been tugging at the border of Anhui and Henan for two years, and the wall is clear, even if our army occasionally enters Henan, it is difficult to have a harvest, hey~~ This is only September, the army is no longer enough food and rice, if it is winter, I don't know how many people should starve to death!" Zhang Zongyu sighed heavily.

As he was talking, a staggering pedestrian suddenly stumbled and fell on the street, and after a few weak swings of his hands and feet, he could no longer get up.

Zhang Xingle's eyes shrank suddenly, and he said coldly: "Shi Dakai in the south is friendly with Wang Feng, and now he has given up his identity as the king of wings and voluntarily made his subordinates, blocking the Huai River and not allowing our army to cross the river to find food, and Wang Feng himself occupies the relatively rich northern Jiangsu and southern Lunan, and we are not allowed to step into half a step!"

Our weapons are mainly spears and broadswords, and the cannons are all earthen cannons, which can compare to his foreign guns and cannons? This evil breath can only be endured, but the millions of soldiers and civilians in Huaibei know very well in their hearts that who is going to starve us to death will one day seek justice from the surnamed Wang. ”

Zhang Zongyu was speechless for a while, the Democratic Alliance Army actually blocked the Twist Army, but it was not unsolvable, as long as it surrendered, then all the problems would be solved, but Zhang Lexing and the leaders of the twist shops were willing?

Glancing at his uncle, Zhang Zongyu cautiously reminded: "Uncle, you don't seem to have much resentment towards the Qing army, Li Hongzhang is blocking the northwest two directions, isn't our army still unable to move?" ”

"Humph!" Zhang Lexing snorted angrily: "The Qing army is originally our enemy, and it is understandable to besiege the main road, but who is the Democratic Alliance army?" is also an anti-Qing rebel army, not only did they not lend a hand, but also joined hands with the Qing army to besiege our army, how can I not hate?

What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of people in my army, do you think that Li Hongzhang has the ability to stop us from entering Henan with a few thousand unity? It's nothing more than the Democratic Alliance Army behind the back, we don't dare to do our best, I twisted the army into today's predicament, the culprit is the Democratic Alliance, but we hate us with bare hands, why can't he! ”

In front of the Democratic Alliance Army, the Twist Army with spears and broadswords in their hands is indeed equivalent to bare hands, even if there are hundreds of thousands of flesh and blood, what is the use?

Zhang Zongyu's eyes couldn't help but emerge in front of the scene of the sudden appearance of the Democratic Alliance that day, to be honest, although Wang Feng was aggressive, but Zhang Zongyu did not have much ill feeling towards the Democratic Alliance, after all, the Democratic Alliance Army is on the right path, and his own situation is clear, the essence of the Twist Army is to be a rogue and not to produce, to loot for a living, Wang Feng protects the territory and the people, and it is correct to prohibit the Twist Army from entering Jiangsu.

Although he also has the idea of going down the road of the Democratic Alliance, but first, the power in the twist army is Zhang Lexing and the rest of the seventeen shop twist unit leaders, he is just Zhang Lexing's nephew and himself, people are soft-spoken, and secondly, the land in Huaibei is barren, floods and droughts are continuous, and it is impossible to develop production, so they can only plunder everywhere like a rogue, but Huaibei is such a big place, the rich households have been eaten, what else to eat?

Sighed secretly, Zhang Zongyu didn't know where the future of the Twist Army was, hundreds of thousands of Ding Zhuang, hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children, could they be trapped and died in Huaibei? (To be continued......)
