Chapter 164: Just in time
(Thank you for the reward of the bloody Xuan~~~~)
Not only did it stop at Shenglong, but the moment the door was opened, everyone's heart instantly hung in their throats, but they couldn't help but roll their eyes and look out.
By the thin light of the early morning, there were indeed some long hairs outside the door, but unlike what I imagined, from the gate of the house to the entrance of the village in the distance, they were scattered scattered, and basically they were digging earth according to the terrain and piling up fortifications such as bunkers.
Sheng Long took a strong breath, stepped out of the door, and asked, "Old man Sheng Long?" Who are you waiting for? Why are you sneaking around outside my mansion? ”
A young man wearing strange clothes and a strange hat turned his body, put his palm to his temple, and then put it down and said: "It turns out to be Sheng Lao, I am Zhao Feicheng, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Division of the First Army of the Chinese Democratic Alliance Army. ”
"Huh?" Everyone looked at each other, didn't they come with long hair? Which is the signboard of the Chinese Democratic Alliance, which has never been heard of?
Sheng Long looked carefully, these people did come overnight, many of the soldiers' faces were dusty, and some of them simply sat on the ground, eating dry cakes in the river, obviously hungry, but Sheng Long paid more attention to the fact that although their clothes were more complicated, there were some people who wore long-haired uniforms, yellow vests and green edges, the front was written Taiping, and the holy soldiers of the three armies on the right side of the book, as far as he knew, this was Yang Xiuqing's subordinates.
Sheng Long was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Who is your commander-in-chief?" Who is the division commander? Why did you come to protect my Sheng Mansion? ”
Zhao Feicheng said with a hint of apology: "It's all to blame for not making it clear, our Chinese Democratic Alliance Army was established last night, and the personnel include part of the right third army of the Taiping Army, the righteous Qing Army Green Battalion Bingyong and some members of the Shanghai Knife Society, the commander-in-chief is Wang Feng, the commander of the first army is Hong Xuanjiao, and the commander of the third division is Chen Alin!"
After receiving the news last night that the officials of the Qing court on the border of Changzhou had abandoned the city and fled, Commander-in-Chief Wang immediately ordered Division Commander Chen to lead his troops to seize Changzhou overnight, and to protect the lives and property of the people of Changzhou at any cost, so as to prevent the Zhenjiang Luo Outline Department from taking advantage of the fire to loot, and the task of our three battalions was to protect Longxi and Shengfu. ”
Sheng Longquan understood, it turned out to be Wang Feng after a long time, this long-haired man who forcibly extorted 50,000 catties of grain and kidnapped Sheng Xuanhuai!
Now that he understands the reason, Sheng Long secretly breathes a sigh of relief, but what is he going to do when he comes up with a Chinese Democratic Alliance? Are you going to go it alone with those long hairs in Nanjing?
Zhang didn't think too much, and hurriedly asked, "How is Xuanhuai?" Okay? ”
Zhao Feicheng smiled and said: "He is very good, although he is young but smart and old, he is famous in our army, and he will become a great weapon in the future. ”
Zhang's extremely distressed, from Baoshan to Jiading fifty miles, a day back and forth, not to mention a teenager, even adults are miserable, especially to teach so many people, this is to treat people as cattle and horses!
If Wang Feng stood in front of him, Zhang Shi didn't care what his identity was, and would not hesitate to scold him for a bloody head, but at this time, he couldn't attack Zhao Feicheng, right?
scolded Wang Feng in advance, and Zhang noticed that some of the soldiers began to eat breakfast, and the hard and rough dry cakes were unpleasant, and even her subordinates didn't eat them, which made her sympathetic and very unhappy, after all, people came to protect themselves.
So, Zhang greeted: "You must be tired and hungry after running around all night, we have female dependents in our house, and it is inconvenient to entertain you, but please wait a while, I will ask someone to make some snacks and hot porridge and send them out." ”
Zhao Feicheng shook his head and said, "Old lady, don't bother, we brought our own dry food." ”
"What if the dry cake is caught in cold water?" Zhang Shi said unhappily: "You have to eat soft hot food early in the morning, the person surnamed Wang specializes in taking people and not making people, you wait!" Then he turned back and gave a few words, and the two maids walked towards the house.
"Battalion commander, there are foreign troops approaching, about five hundred!" At this moment, a fighter on a reconnaissance mission suddenly ran up and shouted.
The atmosphere tense for a moment, Zhao Feicheng frowned, and said: "Please rest assured, Elder Sheng, with us, we will never teach anyone to step into Longxi for half a step!" As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Brothers, take your place and get ready for battle!" ”
The soldiers stopped what they were doing and immediately loaded their guns, while Zhao Feicheng led nearly 100 people to the entrance of the village.
Sheng Long's old face struggled slightly, and he also stepped forward, but he didn't follow too closely, but stayed far away.
Although Zhang was very uneasy in her heart, she couldn't let the old man die alone, so she gritted her teeth and walked forward.
At the entrance of the village, it was obvious that the nearly 500 people were the Taiping Army, and Zhao Feicheng immediately asked: "Which one are you, stop quickly!" ”
The men and horses on the opposite side stopped at a distance of one or two hundred meters, and one of them took two steps forward and called: "We are General Jin Guanzheng, under the command of General Luo on the left side of the palace, and I am Hu Luwei, the commander of the second army on the left. ”
If it weren't for Wang Feng to send someone earlier, not only would the family property accumulated for hundreds of years be stolen, but the whole family would also be caught by Long Hair, so to speak, the Sheng family would be finished.
Only then did they realize that Wang Feng was good, at least Wang Feng was reasonable, and he didn't engage in any private property storage and men's and women's separate camps!
The old couple both raised their throats and looked at Zhao Feicheng nervously, this time, Zhao Feicheng no longer poked his palm to his temple, but arched his hand: "It turned out to be General Hu, disrespectful, we are under the command of Xiao Wangniang, I am also the brigade commander, Zhao Feicheng, we occupy Longxi under the order of Xiao Wangniang, there is no more business for you here, please go back." ”
"This" Hu Luwei muttered, although Hong Xuanjiao is a woman, and although she has not been crowned a king, her name and identity are much larger than Luo Xuan's, and she is actually equivalent to a prince in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but just leave like this, it's hard to explain when you go back.
Zhao Feicheng seemed to guess his thoughts, and said, "General Hu doesn't think it's good to explain to General Luo?" But brother, I'm lucky to be the first to take a step, I can't retreat, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Xiao Wangniang, otherwise, you go back and tell the truth, if General Luo has any dissatisfaction, he can directly negotiate with Xiao Wangniang, and the people below us can't fight to the death, but? Besides, the kingdom of heaven does not allow armies to fight with each other, and those who violate it will be beheaded according to rebellion! ”
As he was talking, Zhao Feicheng raised his hand, and the soldiers all raised their guns in an uproar!
This can make Hu Lu gasp for a while, everyone in this army has guns, and all of them are not arquebuses, Xiao Wangniang's subordinates are really different!
