With a burst of dense gunfire, I saw the Eight Banners cavalry dismount one after another. This is also too evil, accompanied by the dense gunfire, the "lion" of the Eight Banners instantly turned into a lamb. I saw that they reined in their horses and turned around and ran back, the front turned around and ran back, and the cavalry behind had no time to brake, and the two sides collided together and suddenly became chaotic. Some cavalry simply jumped off their horses and fled, not to mention how embarrassing the scene was.

"What a fucking bunch of shit, and it's a shitty chicken before it happens? Brother Liu! This is the Qing army, this is the army of the Manchu court that you are loyal to, look at what else can this group of foreign powerhouses do? To put it bluntly, the current Qing Dynasty is supported by the Han people, and this group of incompetent Manchu nobles is riding on the head of the Han people to make a fortune, is there still such a truth in the fucking world? Shang Hu said contemptuously.

"Brother Liu! Don't be obsessed, allegiance to the incompetent Manchu court is a shame for heroes like us! Fan Tao echoed loudly. Give me a gun! Liu Buzhan suddenly surged with enthusiasm, and seemed to have made up his mind to break the wrist of a strong man. At this time, the Qing army began shelling, and the soldiers quickly hidden. The Qing army was obviously untrained, and the impact point of the artillery was terrible, and they just fired indiscriminately. The artillery fire was fired for half an hour, and then the Green Battalion infantry began to attack.

Looking at the chaotic Qing army's green battalion attacking, Shang Hu ordered loudly: "Pass my order, raise the muzzle of the gun by an inch!" "Captain Shang, weishenme raised the muzzle of the gun by an inch?" Liu Buzhan was puzzled. "You'll know in a moment, I'll let you see a beautiful show." Shang Hu smiled mysteriously and mysteriously. The green battalion of the Qing army cautiously attacked forward, and the speed at which they advanced could be described as a snail crawling.

The gunfire on the battlefield continued, and I saw the soldiers of the Green Battalion of the Qing Army indiscriminately putting their guns and hearing the officers cursing and shouting. Entering the effective firing range, Shang Hu ordered to shoot. As soon as the gunshots rang out here, the soldiers of the Green Battalion immediately lay on the ground and did not move. When the gunfire stopped, the soldiers of the Green Battalion got up and squirmed forward tremblingly, which repeatedly tortured the nerves of the soldiers of the Green Battalion of the Qing Army. The officer of the Green Battalion whipped the soldier with a leather whip to advance, and the soldiers' resentment began to rise.

A big man in the front line of the kung fu front team shouted loudly: "Fucking horizontal and vertical are dead, Lao Tzu is fucking reversed!" "After saying that, he shot and killed the Qing army officer next to him." Fuck we're the opposite," many soldiers shouted in response, and suddenly the cries began to explode in the ranks of the Green Battalion. With the sporadic gunfire, the officers in the ranks of the Qing army continued to die.

Shang Hu was overjoyed and said: "Order the warship to shell to the rear, and all the soldiers will attack with bayonets!" The flag quickly informed the warships that had stopped on the river, and the battleship's artillery fire began to bombard. The soldiers jumped out of the trenches among the trumpeters and launched a counter-charge against the Qing army. The ship's guns began to roar, and just as the shells fell on the heads of the Eight Banners cavalry, who were watching the enemy's formation. The Eight Banners cavalry was blown up and quickly fled, and the fleeing Eight Banners cavalry stormed the artillery positions of the Qing army in the rear, and the artillery of the Qing army also began to flee.

The defeat was like a mountain, the cavalry of the Eight Banners ran away, and the people of the Qing artillery team abandoned the artillery and ran away. Seeing this, the soldiers of the Green Battalion simply surrendered, and the battle was over. The adjutant general of the Qing army led about 200 remnants of the cavalry of the Manchurian Eight Banners to flee back to the station, and General Mu Tushan was shocked when he saw this. Seeing the Eight Banners cavalry fleeing back in embarrassment, and hearing the report of the deputy general, Mu Tushan did not hesitate at all, and fled by train to Fuzhou City. But where did Mu Tushan think that when the train arrived at Fuzhou Station, he would also become a prisoner.

The soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, and Liu Buzhan said: "Captain Shang, why don't you pursue Chen Sheng and take Fuzhou City in one go?" Shang Hu said with a smile: "I'm afraid my people have already taken Fuzhou City with this kung fu, and General Mu Tushan can't escape." Liu Buzhan widened his eyes again and said: "Captain Shang's shili is so good, this is by no means a day's work, presumably you have a master behind the scenes." ”

Fan Tao interjected: "Brother Liu, I am not satisfied with you until now, and we have not instigated a rebellion for a day or two. Originally, we should have received orders from the lord to do anything, but where did we think that the French would let us take the lead in raising the banner of anti-Qing Dynasty. "Who is the lord?" Liu Buqi was surprised. Fan Tao smiled: "I've heard of Deng Zixuan's name!" "I've heard that a young master with a lot of money in his pocket, who assisted Lord Shen in preparing for the construction of a locomotive factory and laying the railway from Mawei to Fuzhou City, all said that he was a stubborn master."

Fan Tao said: "Deng Zixuan is our lord, and he is currently leading the people's army in Annan to fight with the French. "Ahh You are Mr. Deng's people, I understand that it is no wonder that your plan is so thorough, and I am willing to follow Mr. Deng's work. Liu Buzhan was shocked to hear Deng Zixuan's great name, and he suddenly had confidence in his heart. The next day, sailors, the surrendered Qing army green battalion lined up on the dock. Shang Hu did not make any bold statements, but just asked everyone to cut their braids and shave their heads and beards to prove their rebellion once and for all. The purpose is very clear, and that is to leave no one at a retreat.

Two hours later, dense bald heads appeared below, and Shang Hu climbed to the high point again and shouted: "Now I announce the formation of the first fleet of the people's army, with Fan Tao as the commander of the fleet, and Liu Buzhan as the deputy commander of the fleet." The captains and officers of the ships of the fleet are appointed by the commander of the fleet. Fan Tao stood up and loudly announced the appointment of the captains of the ships, and Liu Buzhan announced the appointments of other generals.

Shang Hu continued: "Now I announce the formation of an independent security brigade, with me as the commander of the security brigade and Tie Ying as the deputy brigade commander. The separate security brigade includes two mixed infantry regiments, a garrison brigade, a coastal fortress artillery brigade, an infantry artillery squadron. Now I announce the appointment of the commanders of the regiments, the commanders of the garrison brigade, the fortress artillery brigade, and the infantry artillery squadron ······. Zuihou Shanghu announced that all of them had changed to new military uniforms.

The uniforms of officers and soldiers of the Security Brigade do not need to be described. The officers and men of the First Fleet have unique uniforms, with white shirts, large caps, and copper-colored buttoned blue trousers. The sailors are white at the top and black at the bottom, with skullcaps floating to black. The black part is written in white font - Chinese Navy. The sailor's jacket is white, and the neckline and cuffs are sky blue. The pants are blue.

The refreshing and pleasing naval uniform heralds the official birth of China's modern navy. Fan Tao looked at the mighty sailor with great excitement, and Liu Buzhan looked at the rejuvenated sailor, his eyes were moist, maybe this was the picture he dreamed of seemed to fall from the sky. Weapons were limited, and the sailors temporarily used the original Remington rifles.

After the initial integration of the troops, a few days later Shang Hu led the first regiment of the independent brigade to Fuzhou City. Arriving at Mawei Station, Shang Hu and the guard platoon got on the train first, and the brigade followed along the railway line. When the train arrived at the station outside the city of Fuzhou, there was some surprise, at this time the train from Fuzhou to Shanghai was still running, as if nothing had happened, and there were still a large number of passengers waiting at the station.

After the city of Fuzhou changed hands, Tie Ying did not harass the people in the city, and did not even take any action against the officials and Manchu nobles, but issued a proclamation at the first time, which quickly stabilized the people's hearts. The city of Fuzhou changed hands, but the lives of the people of Li were not affected in any way, there were no riots, robberies, murders and arsons, and there was no liquidation of Manchu officials, which had never happened for thousands of years, so the people's hearts quickly settled down, and they did not even feel any change in the city of Fuzhou.

As soon as Shang Hu got off the train, Tie Ying reported: "Captain, Fuzhou City has been completely controlled by me, everything is going well." Shang Hu smiled: "Your and my identities have changed, I am now the commander of the Security Independent Brigade, and you are now the deputy commander of the Security Independent Brigade." The next step is to quickly form the 2nd Infantry and Cavalry Mixed Regiment based on the people and horses of Fuzhou City! "Yes! Subordinates obey orders. ”

On the way into the city, Shang Hu asked, "Has Xiangshang Hai reported?" "Brigade commander, when the telegraph office was captured, the telegraph was destroyed by the Qing guards." Tie Ying said helplessly. Shang Hu's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and said, "So the news hasn't been sent out until now?" A 40-year-old man next to him said: "Brigade Commander Shang, I have sent someone to Shanghai to report to the deputy commander-in-chief, and it is estimated that they have now received the news." Shang Hu looked carefully and found that it was Wan Chuan's person, so he was relieved.

Entering the city, the group went straight to the governor's mansion. At this time, all the main officials of Fuzhou City were placed under house arrest here, and they spent three days here in fear. In the governor's hall, many officials were unkempt and awaiting their fate. Shang Hu appeared in front of everyone in a straight uniform, and everyone stood up in horror. They wondered in their hearts: What kind of army is this, and how is it dressed like this?

"Don't panic and be afraid, the contemptible person is Shang Hu, the commander of the Fuzhou Security Brigade. So far, more than 20 warships in Fuzhou and Mawei military ports, as well as the Mawei shipyard and the Mawei steam locomotive factory are all under our control. Now I tell you that we are a righteous army, and you must have seen the notice issued by our army, not to disturb the people, not to burn, not to loot, and to protect the private property of all, and we have done what we say. The current singing and dancing in Fuzhou City is proof of this. ”

Shang Hu glanced at everyone and continued: "That is the Minister of the Qincha Sea Frontier!" Zhang Peilun stood up with a pale face and said, "Contemptible! "You immediately sent people to Quanzhou and Xiamen, and ordered all the warships and warships along the coast to retreat to the Mawei Military Port. At present, the French have suffered a great loss, and they must be targeted. "Contemptible do it!"

"That is the governor of Fujian?" Shang Hu continued to ask. Zhang Zhaodong stood up and promised. "You continue to perform your duties as governor, manage your subordinates well, and maintain peace on the side. Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished. In addition, the property of Han officials was completely protected, and half of the property of the Manchu people, including real estate, was donated, and the safety of the lives of the Manchu people was also protected. But the premise is not to try to resist, and all acts of resistance are not to be punished. Okay, that's all I have to say, you should do your duty. After speaking, Shang Hu walked away.

A group of ministers stared at each other and fell into a state of confusion, and after a long time, the Minister of Shipping, He Ruzhang, seemed to remember something and said: "Seeing is believing, we should go home and see," and many people echoed. Zhang Peilun said: "Stupid, if they had burned, killed and looted, they would have ransacked the governor's yamen long ago, and we would probably have died." I believe they did, it's a bunch of rebels who want to conquer the world, not grasshoppers, understand? ”

"What Master Zhang said is right, besides, they didn't let us rebel, and our duty is still to maintain the Qing Dynasty!" Governor Zhang Zhaodong justified himself. Zhang Peilun continued: "General Mu Tushan, you just heard it, at present, in order to save your life, you have to donate half of your property. Mu Tushan sat there in embarrassment and said nothing, and the adjutant general hurriedly agreed.

However, Deng Zixuan's strategy is very clever, which can not only play a role in dividing and disintegrating, but also relieve the anger of Han officials. In particular, it plays an extraordinary role in stabilizing people's hearts.
