12-45 Defend Greater Shanghai
It turned out that half a month ago, Liu Kitten and Zeng Cheng escaped from the palace together, and they were separated because of their greed to play halfway.
Unconsciously wandered to the vicinity of Zhenjiang, one night out to steal, was met with a few vicious dogs besieged a drunken sloppy old man Liu kitten, the most hated in this life is the dog, immediately stepped forward to save the old name Huazi, and the stolen river fish to him to eat, the old man was grateful, took out the big rooster he had just stolen, wrapped it in lotus leaves, wrapped it in yellow mud, and cooked it, and invited Liu kitten to taste the beggar gang leader personally made the flower chicken, that craft is really not blown out, even Liu kitten, who is used to eating delicious food, almost swallowed his tongue, and since then he has decided with the old man, let the old man be responsible for making roast chicken, serving himself。
How do you know that the old man has other thoughts, he has to pass the green jade staff in his hand to Liu Xiaomei, and he also teaches her a set of eighteen palms of dragon descending, Liu Xiaomei is extremely talented, and he is said to be the eighteen palms of the dragon, that is, the nine yin scriptures are not a problem, but she is extremely dislike to learn, and her memory is poor, she has practiced for half a month, and she has not learned a trick, and she began to be irritable several times, and she wants to beat the old man, and the old gang leader has no choice but to come up with fun tricks again, and summon the children of the beggar gang to officially pass the throne to Liu Xiaomei.
The internal strife of the beggar gang was fierce, and several nine bags of elders were holding their back, ready to compete for the big position of the gang leader, as soon as they heard that the old gang leader passed the throne to a strange woman, they all jumped out to oppose the old gang leader, so they had to say that this woman was the reincarnation of Huang Rong, the leader of the beggar gang in the late Song Dynasty, and came to save the broken beggar gang, but the elders didn't buy it at all, saying that this stupid eldest sister was Huang Rong, it was clearly the reincarnation of a silly aunt, and then instead of trying Liu Xiaomei's martial arts, the old gang leader hurriedly stopped it, but people had already pounced on it, and the elders of the beggar gang really didn't pay attention to it, and the five top elders attacked a weak woman together。
But the dramatic scene actually appeared, Liu Xiaomei, who was forced to be anxious, played a trick of the dragon swinging tail, this is the last and most difficult move in the eighteen palms of the dragon, the dragon palm method is the beggar gang magic skill, the early Song Dynasty or twenty-eight palms, after Qiao Feng simplified into eighteen palms, which was named the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Guo Jing will be famous, shocking the world, but since then, the eighteen palms of the dragon have also fallen from the peak to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, even the elders of the beggar gang can only practice to the twelfth palm, the Ming Dynasty is even inferior, generally speaking, you can practice to the fourth palm, you can be a nine-bag elder, even the current gang leader is only the tenth palm, Liu Xiaomei learned a few days, and was able to play the dragon tail, although the skill is not enough, but alreadyAfter shocking everyone enough, the elders who were overturned were convinced, and they bowed down one after another to admit Liu Xiaomei's identity as the gang leader, but no one noticed that the old gang leader was stupid on the side, obviously not expecting that the little girl he found randomly was really a martial arts wizard.
Liu Xiaomei's position as the helper is really sitting, holding a green jade staff all day long, shouting five and drinking six, the gang leader is addicted, and the gang leader disciple came to report that it was a friend in the rivers and lakes, asking the beggar gang to help search for the whereabouts of the Zhenguo Gong's family, Liu Xiaomei then remembered that this was his own business, and immediately ordered full cooperation, when the news was implemented, the helper also had to go out in person, which led to the story of Liu Xiaomei's rescue of the young grandfather.
Besides, the coaxing in the governor's yamen has already played the whole martial arts, everyone wants to take Liu Qianqian to himself, and when Liu Ziguang comes back in the future, it can be regarded as a great achievement, and if the quarrel does not end, it will be hard, but everyone is still measured, no one moved, and the guy directly took his fist, but everyone here was a good hand in all aspects, and no one could have the upper hand, but Zeng Cheng was so frightened that he hid in the back hall with the child in his arms.
was making a fuss, suddenly a sergeant came to report to the brigade, the Ming army drove from the direction of Suzhou, the troops were divided into five routes, at least 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the Zhejiang Navy Division also dispatched, the situation was quite dangerous, everyone stopped fighting, and their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they began to discuss countermeasures.
Although there are a lot of talents here, but after careful calculation, none of them can afford to defend Shanghai, if you want to talk about the grade, the highest is Temasek's military department Shangshu Margoby, but the tactical level of the black uncles really dare not compliment, Zhao Jing of the Song Dynasty is a real professional officer, but he is a general of the naval division, fighting 6 battles, barely for it, the Gurkha soldiers of the Tubo State are not good, the direction of Shanghai is not clear, the first line of fighting knives is okay, if you command, you still have to rest, the heaven and earth will axe gang, the beggar gang these Jianghu organizations are even more unreliable, and the battle between the two armies is really useless……
Calculate and calculate, in the end, everyone fell on the two generals of the Wutang rebel army, Xia Wanchun and Liang Shiyi are both students of the senior class of the Jingshi Wutang, they are facing graduation this year, one is the command department, the other is the staff department, before joining the Wutang, they were familiar with the military books and war strategies, and after entering the school, they also followed Liu Ziguang to the Western Regions to fight a few vicious battles, and they had the experience of fighting a large corps, and the battle of the Beijing division was even more famous all over the world, with a thousand students armed with wooden sticks to break into the capital, and turned half of Nanjing upside down, and finally retreated under the encirclement and interception of the 100,000 Beijing camp army, this is what a record, and Xia Wanchun himself is a native of Songjiang, and he is quite familiar with Shanghai, and it is simply more suitable to be commanded by himIt's over.
The students of the martial arts hall are really powerful, and no dynasty has opened such an all-round and systematic military academy for thousands of years, so to speak, after the training of the martial arts hall, any student who pulls it out can be a thousand households in the forbidden army, and it is definitely not bad, not to mention the two talents that Liu Ziguang focused on cultivating, Xia Wanchun and Liang Shiyi did not participate in the fight just now, and looked at this farce coldly, and now it is their turn to clean up the mess, which is expected.
"Generals, great enemies, at the moment, let's not talk nonsense, and look at the map." Xia Wanchun swept away the contents of the governor's office, and then asked his subordinates to spread a small-scale map of Shanghai on the table.
"Shanghai is the first industrial town in the Ming Dynasty, with a large population and sufficient resources, as well as a good deep-water port, thousands of sea ships and sea transportation, these are our advantages, even if the enemy has many soldiers and generals, it is not our opponent." Xia Wanchun glanced at everyone and talked eloquently.
"Although the number of our army is not large, but it is expensive, the buildings in Shanghai are dense, and it is not suitable for the army to carry out, and the imperial army can only fight with us in street battles, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be captured in ten years with those wine bags and rice bags."
"What if the officers and soldiers use artillery to bombard the city?"
"What if the imperial court uses the Apocalypse Chariot and the airship?"
Hearing someone questioning, Xia Wanchun smiled slightly and turned the question to Liang Shiyi, the commander of the army.
"Shanghai has a population of up to one million, and if the imperial court uses artillery to bombard, won't it trap the people in fire and water? Besides, there are factories and workshops everywhere, which is the source of the imperial court's taxes, and who will collect the taxes? ”
"We have tricks to deal with chariots and airships, but these are military secrets and cannot be divulged for the time being, but one thing can tell you that the precision bearings used in the chariot of the Apocalypse can only be produced in Shanghai, and there are not a few in the imperial court in total, and the inventory is gone, see what they do." And our ordnance, grain and grass don't have to worry at all, Jiangnan Shipyard has ship-based cannons, which can be used as fortress artillery when moved down, and there are hundreds of thousands of tons of rice transported from Annan on the dock to eat until next year, don't say next year, as long as you wait a few more months, Dashuai is afraid that he will lead people to kill back, this Shanghai industry is so Da Nai, it is a piece of hard work of Dashuai, we must keep Shanghai to have an explanation to Dashuai, what do you think? ”
Listening to what Liang Shiyi said, everyone nodded one after another, and was willing to accept their command, holding Shanghai is equivalent to choking the money bag of the Ming Dynasty, which is a very good move.
Therefore, Xia Wanchun and Liang Shiyi did not let go of the heroes present to talk about it, and the Wutang rebel army and the China Merchants Bureau shippers were placed on the front line of Songjiang as a frontal defense force, and the Tiandihui and the beggar gang went deep behind the enemy to sabotage traffic, transportation, and communications, assassinate the enemy's generals, and the Song Sailor was responsible for driving submarines to resist the harassment of the Zhejiang Sailors and protect sea traffic. The Axe Gang was responsible for pacifying the populace and recruiting rebels to collect food and grass equipment, while the Black Uncles and Gurkha soldiers were used as a new force in street fighting.
After the arrangement, everyone immediately took action, moved out the semi-finished products in the Jiangnan Shipyard, and the ship-borne small cannons were loaded on wheels to become infantry guns, and the cannons were hoisted to the commanding heights by cranes as fortress guns, and each intersection was blocked with sandbags to form barricades and firepower points, and each rice shop was controlled by the Axe Gang, strictly controlling the quantity of rice bought, and strictly controlling the price, so as not to cause fluctuations in people's hearts.
In the city, a recruiting banner was erected to "fight against rebellion and eliminate traitors" The banner is waving in the wind, there are many coolies who can't eat in Shanghai, and there is no work to do on the dock, and eating food is the best way out, so the recruitment points are full of long queues, in fact, recruiting these people is not to charge into battle, but when the people use to transport ammunition and materials, carry the wounded, set up cannons, and so on, all need manpower, as for the silver, there is no need to worry about the silver treasury of Shanghai Road, the warehouse of the city is full of silver, take it out and scatter it, Shanghai's manpower, material and financial resources are too sufficient, how to spend it can not be spent。
A fierce battle to defend Shanghai kicked off in this way.
