Taking advantage of the chaos, the Feiyun pipe band escaped by luck. This guy found a horse and galloped to Fuzhou City. At the beginning of the year, the Minister of Shipping of Fuzhou changed hands, Shen Baozhen was transferred to Jiangxi as the governor, the Minister of Shipping was replaced by He Ruzhang, and the Nanyang Naval Division was replaced by Zhang Peilun, Minister of the Qincha Maritime Frontier. These two people are Li Hongzhang's people, and it can be said that the Nanyang Navy Division has been caught by Li Hongzhang. The conditions of the military port were not good, and Zhang Peilun set up his home in Fuzhou City.

The Feiyun pipe belt rushed to Fuzhou City at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and went straight to Zhang Peilun's mansion. Seeing the incoherent report of the embarrassed Feiyun pipe belt, Zhang Peilun said that he didn't believe it was true: "You mean that the flagship pipe band Liu Buzhan launched a mutiny and attacked the French warships without authorization, and the three ships Hui'an, Wuwei, and Dinghai were sunk. Then they returned to the military port to mutiny, and then took control of the military port, preparing to meet the French? "It's so weird, it's understandable to attack the French, but there's no need for a mutiny!

"Are you telling the truth?" Zhang Peilun was shocked. "If a subordinate has half a lie, he is willing to die." Zhang Peilun couldn't believe that this was true, this matter was not trivial, so he had to send his subordinates to the military port to explore the truth, and then hurriedly went to the mansion of the master of the ship. After listening to Zhang Peilun's story, the shipmaster He Ruzhang's head was also shaking like a rattle, and he didn't believe it when he was killed. However, this pipe band actually promised to die, which made it difficult for him to judge, so he had to wait patiently.

At midnight, the people sent by Zhang Peilun to inquire about the news returned, and it was confirmed that the sailors of the military port had indeed mutinied, and the military port had been taken over by the rebels. The two were shocked when they heard this, and immediately rushed to the telegraph office to send a report, and soon an urgent telegram was sent to Tianjin. After the two sent the telegram, they immediately rushed to the governor's yamen, and Zhang Zhaodong, the governor of Fujian, was also shocked to hear that the Nanyang Navy had opened fire on the French warships without authorization, which led to a mutiny among the sailors.

Everyone was numb, and Zhang Peilun's head was quite sober and said: "This matter is not trivial, and it should be reported to General Mu Tushan immediately." The three of them didn't need to discuss anymore, and immediately rushed to the general's mansion. At this time, it was already the second half of the night, General Mu Tushan got up and heard that the sailors in the military port were frightened, and he was duty-bound, and General Mu Tushan ordered 2,000 soldiers and horses in Fuzhou City to go to Mawei Military Port to suppress the mutinous sailors.

Before dawn, General Mu Tushan personally led 500 cavalry and 1,500 Han Banner green battalions out of the city along the railway line to the east. And the general himself followed up on the back of the small train. The picture is a bit comical, with the soldiers of the Green Battalion opening the road on foot in the front, and the small train slowly following behind, and the small train is flanked by full-flag cavalry to protect the left and right. It is a fantasy that such a unit can also fight.

In a dart bureau in Fuzhou City, the courtyard was densely packed with people. At this time, Tie Ying, the deputy captain of the secret detachment, sat in the house with a solemn face, and the people sent by Shang Hu rushed to Fuzhou City at midnight and went straight to the dart bureau to report Shang Hu's order. Tie Ying did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered his subordinates to inform the brothers lurking in the city to gather at the dart bureau. The dart bureau is the core of Fuzhou City, with about 200 personnel, and the rest of the personnel, including the personnel they developed, are scattered in the city to hide as porters, dock workers, etc.

"Report to the deputy captain, all the personnel have arrived, and the strength is about 500 people!" A subordinate came in to report. Tie Yingshu stood up and said excitedly: "Captain Shang has already controlled the Mawei Military Port, and the officers and troops have just been dispatched. At present, Fuzhou City is empty of troops, and our task is to quickly control Fuzhou City. I ordered the formation of 10 squads, and the first squad leader was ······. Next, Tie Ying ordered the squad leaders to go out and integrate the troops. The arsenal was then opened and weapons were issued, one standard rifle and four grenades per person.

The brothers were preparing when a man of small age hurried in from outside. "How's it going?" Tie Ying asked. "Captain, there are only 100 people left in the Qing army camp, including less than 200 Qing soldiers at each city gate." The subordinate replied. "How is the situation in the green camp of the Qing army?" "Someone has been sent to contact them, and follow Jihua to let them rebel in front of the battle!" Tie Ying looked at his watch and shouted, "Someone! "A subordinate ran in." Order the squad leaders to come in for a meeting! ”

Soon 10 squad leaders rushed in, and Tie Ying said decisively: "Team 1 is responsible for occupying the telegraph office. Squads 2, 3, and 4 were responsible for capturing the officer's and army's battalion. Squads 5, 6, 7, and 8 were responsible for capturing the four gates. The 9th and 10th squads followed me, occupied the governor's yamen, and began to move 10 minutes later. The squad leaders were very excited.

After General Mu Tushan led the Qing army out of the city, Zhang Peilun and He Ruzhang continued to gather at the governor's yamen to wait for news. "Liu Buzhan had no reason to rebel, and there was no warning beforehand. I have not offended them in the past few months in charge, and it seems that they have launched an attack on the French without permission, and they have no way to retreat before they take risks! Zhang Peilun tried to find a reason.

"What Brother Zhang said makes sense, this may be the reason for the mutiny!" How to conform to the chapter. "A bunch of people who don't know how to live or die are stupid. It is better to die with the French and die to die and become famous. "As soon as Governor Zhang Zhaodong's voice fell, there was a sudden sound of gunfire outside." What's going on, where are the shots? Zhang Peilun was shocked.

"Someone!" A subordinate with a waist knife enters. Zhang Zhaodong continued: "Find out what happened immediately!" Not long after the subordinate went out, suddenly a gunshot rang out in front of the door. The three of them were startled when they heard this, and their nerves suddenly tensed. While he was in the middle of the panic, the gunfire outside became more and more intense, followed by the sound of violent explosions. This kung fu subordinate staggered in with his hands on his chest.

A few people looked at each other, and blood flowed out along their fingers. "My lord, someone is coming, and they have already attacked the gate!" The subordinate breathed down after speaking. Governor Zhang Zhaodong sat on the ground when he heard that his legs were weak, and He Ruzhang, the master of the ship, began to tremble in fright. Zhang Peilun looked shocked, but his face turned pale and his brain was in chaos.

General Mutushan arrived at the Mawei shipyard station by train, and the guy did not get off the train, but ordered the adjutant general to lead the troops onwards. The military port was a few miles away from the Mawei shipyard, and the Qing army crossed the shipyard and formed a formation to attack the military port. At this time, in an undulating hilly area on the east side of the military port, the captain Shang Hu and the captain of the sailor brigade Fan Tao commanded 400 soldiers to deploy here.

In a temporarily dug trench, Fan Tao said to Liu Buzhan who was standing beside him: "Let me see how we blocked in a while, don't look at us There are only 400 people, but the combat effectiveness is absolutely strong." Liu Buzhan pouted and said, "You transferred 4 warships, isn't it just to support the operation?" "Since this is the case, I decided not to fire the battleship, so that Brother Liu will be raised." Shang Hu walked over and said loudly.

Liu Buzhan already knew Shang Hu and said: "I can see that your rebellion was premeditated, I have seen the rifle in your hand, it is a rifle that I have never seen before, if it is really as you said that the rifle was made by yourself, it means that your shili is good, but you can't prove it." Shang Hu smiled: "Brother Liu, I was originally giving you a letter from home after the war, but now it seems that I will give it to you, this is a letter written by your brother to you!" "You're taking my family hostage." Liu Buzhan changed his face.

Shang Hu glanced at Fan Tao and didn't squeak, Liu Buzhan hurriedly read the letter and said: "My brother said that the family is in a safe area, it seems that you have premeditated." "It was premeditated, and at the same time, it was to avoid harming the innocent. In particular, your special status will inevitably not affect your family, and you can rest assured that they are safe and worry-free. Just then there was a horse's hoof. Everyone looked up and saw a Qing army team in front of them. On the left is the Green Battalion infantry, and on the right is the Eight Banners Horse Brigade.

This kung fu ran up from the Eight Banners Horse Team and a cavalryman, and everyone was in a daze. The cavalryman came to a halt where he could be shot, then took off his bow and arrows from his back, tied a letter to the shaft of the arrow, and drew his bow and arrows. Soon the soldier sent the arrow shaft to Shang Hu, who opened the letterhead and only glanced at it and smiled. Fan Tao was surprised to take the letter and check it, knowing that Shang Hu weishenme smiled, zuihou he handed the letter to liu buzhan his expression was a little weird, it turned out that the letter was written by zhang peilun to liu buzhan.

Liu Buzhan didn't finish reading the letter, his face was red, his neck was thick, and he was panting. It turned out that the letter scolded him for being bold, wolf-hearted, corrupt morality, and not thinking about the emperor's grace, etc., and actually led his subordinates to rebel, and persuaded him to turn back, restrain himself from the precipice, sympathize with the lives of his subordinates, and reward him with a whole corpse. "You guys! It's driving me to a dead end! Liu Buzhan was a little hoarse. It is not a dead end, it is a bright road, a road to the rise of the Chinese nation. Fan Tao is righteous and stern.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Eight Banners took the lead in attacking. It turned out that Mu Tushan's deputy general saw that there were not many people on the opposite side, and this guy was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he ordered the Eight Banners cavalry to take the lead in attacking. "**Sons and grandsons of Hachi, now is the time for you to shake the wind. There are only a few hundred rebels on the opposite side, so rush up and kill them! The adjutant shouted loudly in Manchu.

Sure enough, the cavalry of the Eight Banners shouted and drew their sabers, and the 500 cavalry launched a charge with great momentum. "Prepare for battle, go into effective range and fire freely." After Shang Hu gave a loud order, he picked up a rifle and loaded it. Fan Tao also picked up a rifle and operated it with the same skill. Liu Buzhan was lying next to him, and he was a little worried when he saw the Eight Banners cavalry roaring, but when he saw Shang Hu and Fan Tao's calm and calm appearance, he couldn't help but secretly admire it.

The Eight Banners cavalry entered a distance of 300 meters, only to hear the sound of a gunshot. Shang Hu took the lead in pulling the trigger, only to see a cavalry standard-bearer who rushed to the front fall off his horse. Not to be outdone, Fan Tao shot a cavalry commander. Liu Buzhan was taken aback, the two of them had no bullets at such a distance, especially Fan Tao actually had such a magical archery skill.

At this time, the dense gunfire rang out suddenly, and the rain of bullets swept towards the Eight Banners Cavalry.
