"Your Excellency the Governor, something is wrong, Fuzhou General Bichang has fled. The Eight Banners also fled. "Late at night on March 2, Liu Hongao, the governor of Fujian, urgently asked to see Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

"What's going on? How so? Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was also stunned, and seemed to be a little unacceptable that such a thing would happen.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the lower officials have a whim tonight and want to take a look at the city defense deployment of Bichang. As a result, when I arrived at the city gate, I found that there were no soldiers left who were guarding the city. Finally caught the two Eight Banners soldiers who were about to escape, and learned from them that Bichang had fled this evening. Now, in addition to the more than 1,000 green battalion soldiers left before the war, there are only more than 100 servants left in Fuzhou City. Liu Hongao said.

"Bastard, it's unreasonable, Bichang actually dares to run away from the enemy, this official must join him!" Yiliang said angrily.

"Your Excellency, what now? We only have thousands of green battalion soldiers in our hands, how can we hold Fuzhou City? Liu Hongao was like an ant on a hot pot, very anxious.

"What else can I do? The old man was born a person of the Qing Dynasty, and died a ghost of the Qing Dynasty. Bichang can escape, the old man will never escape, the old man will fight to the death with the Xinhua army, the city is in the people, the city is lost! Yi Liang said sternly.

"Okay, since the Governor has such ambitions, the lower officials should chase whomever they want." Liu Hongao hurriedly said. He was also a man who was deeply poisoned by the patriotic ideas of Confucianism and loyalty, for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. For Emperor Daoguang, he regarded him as the object of allegiance in his life.

"Ha Luha, the two of us are guarding Fuzhou. Presumably, future generations will be able to become a story for the ages. Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, said with satisfaction.

Fuzhou general Bichang fled, and even fled with tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers, which made the defense of Fuzhou City extremely empty. However, Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Liu Hongao, the governor of Fujian, who already had the will to die, were not afraid. They knew that sticking to Fuzhou would lead to a dead end, but they didn't care, but thought it was an honor. It is the integrity of the reader. In Long Yufei's view, this is simply pedantic, especially Liu Hongao, the governor of Fujian. As a Han Chinese, he was willing to die for the sake of the Manchu Dynasty, but his head was completely caught by the door. Could it be that he was a slave to the Manchus. Is it better than turning over and being the master yourself?

Although this behavior is very absurd. However, this is universal. Many rotten Confucians who read books and read stupidly, after the Xinhua Army defeated the Qing Army, they all felt that the sky had fallen. It was as if the Qing Dynasty had fallen, and they had no meaning in living. I have to admit that the Manchu government's 200 years of slavery education has achieved great results. Lots and lots of so-called scholars, who have forgotten who their ancestors were. recognized the thief as his father, and regarded the Manchus as their masters. He also regarded it as an honor to be faithful to his master. It's just pedantic.

After the Xinhua army captured Xiamen, it began to march towards Fuzhou. From Xiamen to Fuzhou, a total of more than 200 kilometers. Quanzhou, Putian and other places along the way are all looking at the wind. After the main force of the Qing army had been wiped out, most of those magistrates were greedy and afraid of death, and they became officials just to seek money. Isn't there a good saying, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver?

The Xinhua army advanced all the way to Fuzhou, and the state capitals along the line, except for a very few who resisted, all surrendered. In these state capitals, the Xinhua Army only left a small number of troops to guard it, and the main force of the troops marched to Fuzhou. After taking Fuzhou, there are still mountainous areas in western Fujian to occupy. The mountain people in western Fujian are very brave, and the Xinhua army has to show all its strength to capture these areas.

On the afternoon of March 9, the 3rd Brigade of the Xinhua Army was the first to arrive in Fuzhou City. Several other brigades are still behind.

After arriving in Fuzhou, the brigade commander, Brigadier General Zhou Laosi, did not immediately order the siege of the city, but began to collect intelligence on the city of Fuzhou. Before the Xinhua Army launched the war, the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Xinhua State sent a large number of intelligence personnel to China to collect intelligence, especially the provinces south of the Yangtze River, which were the focus areas of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"General, there are only more than 1,000 Qing troops in Fuzhou City now. A week earlier, the Fuzhou general Bichang had heard that the Qing army had been defeated in Xiamen, so he led his army to flee to northern Fujian. Now in the city of Fuzhou, only Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Liu Hongao, the governor of Fujian, plan to defend it. The intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau reported to Brigadier General Zhou Laosi.

"Oh? And there is such a thing. It's just great. Brigadier General Zhou Laosi was greatly surprised. In a huge Fuzhou city, there are only 1,000 Qing troops left. This is too simple for the Xinhua Army. There is no need to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive, the 3rd Infantry Brigade alone can easily capture Fuzhou. Originally, he thought that Fuzhou, as an important city, would also be a key place for the Qing army to defend, and if he wanted to take Fuzhou City, the Xinhua army would have to pay a certain price. But they didn't expect that the Qing army was so bearish, and the Xinhua army had not yet come, so they fled early.

"Yes, General. Taking Fuzhou City is as easy as a breeze for our new Chinese army. The intelligence officer said.

"What about the people of the city? How are they doing? Zhou Laosi asked. The Qing army in Fuzhou City was not worried, but he was worried that when he forcibly attacked the city, it would cause civilian casualties. There are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Fuzhou, and once the city of Fuzhou is stormed, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary casualties.

"Generals, Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Liu Hongao, the governor of Fujian, also seem to know that Fuzhou can't stand it. A few days ago, Fuzhou opened its gates to let the people in the city out of the city. Now, there are not many civilians left in the city. The intelligence officer said.

"Well, in this way, Yiliang and Liu Hongao are still good officials. In this case, I will send men to surrender first, and if they are willing to surrender, it will be better. Zhou Laosi said.

Immediately, he sent a major staff officer named Tian Feng from the brigade headquarters to Fuzhou City. In addition, the 3rd Brigade of the Xinhua Army was also ready for battle, and 24 75-mm field guns from the brigade's artillery battalion entered the position. If he can't surrender, he will lead the army to attack, and since there are not many ordinary people in Fuzhou, then he doesn't need to be afraid.

Major Tian Feng is an intelligence staff officer at the brigade headquarters, and although he is only 23 years old, he joined the Xinhua Army at the age of 18, and he can be regarded as a veteran. This time he went to Fuzhou City, and he took the initiative to ask for it.

After coming to the city and identifying himself, Major Tian Feng was not hindered. The city gate has been closed, and he entered Fuzhou City in a hanging basket. After being taken to the Governor's Palace, Major Tian Feng met with Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Liu Hongao, the governor of Fujian.

"Two adults, our general admires the actions of the two adults in letting the people out of the city. Now, our Xinhua army has approached the city, and the defenders in Fuzhou are less than 1,000 people. Whether in terms of strength or combat effectiveness, they are far from being the opponents of our army. Therefore, our general hopes that the two adults will be able to recognize the situation and abandon the darkness and turn to the light. After surrendering to the new country, we will definitely not embarrass the two adults. Major Tian Feng said sincerely.

"Humph! If you mess with the ministers and thieves, how can you let the old man sell his master for glory? Go back and tell your general that if you want to take Fuzhou City, even if you lead the army to attack, the old man will share a superior position with him on the battlefield. It is absolutely impossible to get us to surrender. Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, sternly refused.

"That's right, this official has received the emperor's grace and is already determined to fight to the death. If you want to conquer Fuzhou, just go ahead. This officer will never surrender to you. Fujian Governor Liu Hongao also said.

Major Tian Feng wanted to fight again, but was scolded by Yiliang and Liu Hongao. The reason why the two of them wanted to see Major Tian Feng seemed to be just to show their integrity. This made Major Tian Feng very depressed.

After leaving Fuzhou, Major Tian Feng reported to Brigadier General Zhou Laosi on the situation in Fuzhou and the attitudes of Yiliang and Liu Hongao.

"Humph! Two old guys, since they don't know the times, then don't blame us for not giving them a chance. Order the artillery, fire at once, the infantry is ready to storm the city! Brigadier General Zhou Laosi said. Originally, he planned to give Yiliang and Liu Hongao a way to live, but if the two of them wanted to find death, then he had no choice.

At 5:15 p.m., the brigade artillery battalion of the 3rd Brigade of the Xinhua Army carried out a fierce artillery bombardment of the west gate of Fuzhou City. The cannonballs exploded on the city wall, and the Qing soldiers guarding the city wall were killed, and the rest fled to the city in disarray. They've never been hit like this before.

"Go up, give it all to the official." Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, rushed to the west wall of Fuzhou City, scolded the soldiers who deserted, and climbed the city wall first.

"Boom!" A cannonball exploded next to Yiliang, and the power of the cannonball's explosion tore Yiliang's entire person to pieces.

"The Governor is dead, run away!" After Yiliang was killed, the defenders of Fuzhou City were all in chaos. The heavy shelling of the Xinhua army made them feel hopeless. Many of them threw away their weapons and fled.

At this time, the intelligence officers deployed by the Military Intelligence Bureau of Xinhuaguo in Fuzhou City did the work of a Qing army officer and made him surrender to the Xinhua army. Under the leadership of the surrendered Qing army officers, the gates of Fuzhou City were opened, and the Xinhua army successfully entered Fuzhou City.

Liu Hongao, the governor of Fujian, also despaired when he learned that the Xinhua army had entered the city. He chose to end his life with a glass of poisoned wine. It can be regarded as loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

After the Xinhua army captured Fuzhou, it began to sweep the rest of Fujian, and soon cleared the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and took the whole of Fujian! (To be continued......)
