Chapter 777
The governor of Liangguang did not give Li Xiao a good face, but Fu Ren'an, the prefect of Guangzhou, was very stammering with Li Xiao. The place where Li Xiao stayed is located at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment is quiet. The most rare thing is that this place is cool.
The steamer-like hot air blows against the water skin, and when it blows into the grass house, it becomes a cool air, and it is a cool air with moist water vapor. After lunch, make a deck chair and lie down by the water for a sleep, not to mention how comfortable.
"Handsome! There was no change in the Xiangyong and garrison troops in Guangzhou, and the garrison outside the city moved a regiment to make room for the 3rd Marine Regiment. Sun Xing saw that Li Xiao was awake, and hurriedly came over to report to Li Xiao.
"Got it! Tell the three regiments to be on good alert, and people can do anything if they are in a hurry. Li Xiao felt that the best result today was to directly make Yang He angry and have a stroke. In that way, everyone can be in harmony, and Mr. Yang He was laid off for health reasons. The imperial court will no longer set up a governor of Liangguang, and this last piece of instability entrenched in the land of China will be completely resolved.
"No!" Sun Xing agreed, turned around and went out to arrange.
Li Xiao was not too worried about Yang Hegou jumping off the wall in a hurry, the Marine Corps was only a kilometer away from him, and although he was not equipped with an Aka rifle, he was armed with a Makqin heavy machine gun. There were also as many as 36 mortars, and in terms of firepower, the entire army in Guangzhou City together was not comparable to the two battalions of the 3rd Marine Regiment. What's more, there are two ironclad ships parked in the port of Guangzhou. The 380 mm triple main gun is not an ornament, and the thick Guangzhou city wall can poke a hole with just one shell. Each Marine regiment has an artillery battalion, equipped with tactical-grade 120-mm howitzers.
In fact, at the beginning, the old fisher once suggested that a 105-mm caliber should be added to the middle of the 80-mm mortar and howitzer. As a result, he was rejected by Li Xiao, although this would bring some waste of firepower surplus, but this logistical support provided great convenience.
Sixty-mm mortars were completely withdrawn from the stage of history and replaced by grenadiers. This thing was carried entirely by infantry, and the range of attack was between 300 and 800 meters, which was completely beyond the range of a rifle. Filled the vacuum of fire between eighty-millimeter mortars and rifles!
At present, there are only two calibers of artillery shells used by the Liao army, one is an 80-mm mortar shell, and the other is a 120-mm howitzer shell. Cannon with a straight trajectory is now also on the elimination list.
Anyway, the more unified the caliber of shells and bullets, the better, which is very convenient for the logistics supply of the army.
Li Xiao, who has seen the supply of the army in later generations, knows how important the supply is when the real large army fights.
In order to vacate the barracks for the 3rd Marine Regiment, the Guangzhou garrison completely vacated the barracks of a division.
There is no way, the Marine Corps is formed with reference to the field division. The establishment of a regiment is larger than that of a division of the garrison, and the barracks of a division are also full. There were also two companies in the company, which were responsible for guarding the perimeter of Li Xiao's station. Stay in Li Xiao's station!
As soon as the Marines were stationed, they were put into a wartime state. Bullets were issued to individual soldiers, and each soldier had 200 rounds of ammunition and five grenades in his satchel. The cooking squad not only cooked their own hot meals, but also distributed a package of individual rations to each person, which was enough for two days of consumption for one person without any logistical supplies. Each of them filled the kettle to the brim, and the whole regiment was already in a state of imminent battle.
But for a whole day, nothing happened. The garrison troops inside and outside the entire city of Guangzhou did not make any moves except for giving Li Xiaoteng a barracks. Li Yongfang, who was ambushed in the city, went undercover and even went to see the ammunition depot.
Not to mention the bullets, even the guns are well locked in the ammunition magazine. There was never an order to open the ammunition depot to fire the gun.
All signs show that Yang He is ready to pinch his nose and admit it and go to Hangzhou for the elderly.
Night! According to the old practice, the city gates of Guangzhou were closed one hour after the sun went down. Although the city gate is closed, the habit that the people of Guangzhou have cultivated for many years cannot be closed. The streets are full of people, and the night market composed of various snacks is even more crowded.
Around Kabukicho, there are even more warblers and swallows, and the unbridled laughter of women can be spread far away. Everything was no different from usual, it was a night that couldn't have been more ordinary.
Cantonese people don't like to use the clocks of the people in Beijing, and there are still twelve hours a day. As soon as the hour arrived, some people rushed into the barracks. The officers, who had received the warrants, immediately ordered the arsenal to be opened and distributed.
Those officers who are usually considered unreliable have good luck tonight. Or an old comrade-in-arms has a drink, or a good invitation. Some guys sent from the Liao army don't smoke or drink on weekdays, and they don't get along. They all disappeared suddenly, and no one knew where they went, so if they wanted to know, they would probably have to ask Hades.
The governor of Liangguang for more than ten years has turned Liangguang into the world of the Yang family. To the outside world, Yang He always said that he was from Hangzhou, but in fact, he only went to Hangzhou to study when he became an adult. His true hometown is Si'enzhou, Guangxi, and like the famous Tusi who was forced to self-immolate to death, he also has the surname Yang. The reason why he is surnamed Yang is not because his family is the descendant of Yang Lao Linggong, but because his family is also a toast. Counting up, Banzhou Yang Yinglong is still a relative of his family.
In the thousands of years of Chinese civilization, in fact, the Han nation has never stopped expanding its territory. From the original Central Plains and Kyushu to the current huge territory, the Han nation has spent thousands of years.
Unlike other empires that expanded rapidly, the Han nation expanded slowly, but with very solid foundations. belongs to the type that doesn't leave if you stand still, as long as you enter the territory of China, it will be difficult to get out.
Of course, the expansion of the Han nation was not all invincible. When encountering those places that are located in remote areas, or deep mountains and old forests, they are really not suitable for living, but there are places inhabited by mountain people. The imperial court often can't send officials to manage it!
The reason is very simple, there is a wool oil and water where the bird does not poop. Lao Tzu is an official not for feelings, but for the sake of honoring the ancestors and improving the quality of family life. Feelings! Anyone who only talks about feelings and does not talk about interests is a hooligan.
The emperor is true to his word, but he can't often play hooligan.
However, there were always clever beings in the imperial court, and they invented a unique species called toast to help the imperial court govern the people of these remote areas. They received the Emperor's seal and administered the land on his behalf. In this way, the imperial court could assert its sovereignty over the situation in the region without increasing expenses.
Since the Tang Dynasty, this good way of doing things without spending money has been promoted. The ones who benefited the most were these toasts from the northwest and southwest.
Anyone who can become a toast is generally a big man in the local area. Not to mention stomping and trembling, it is definitely easy to speak. In order to win the hearts of the people, the imperial court not only allowed them high official positions, but their official positions could also be hereditary. (For example, Nurhachi is the hereditary Jianzhou Wei, the dragon and tiger general of the imperial court.) )
The emperor's leadership level of the Zhu family is very superb, and the Tusi system has achieved leapfrog development under the Great Tomorrow. In Daming, Tusi not only did not receive a salary, but also had to be responsible for protecting the territory and the people, and if necessary, he also had to send troops to help Daming fight. What's even more outrageous is that you have to pay filial piety to the emperor every year. If you don't give enough gifts, you will be reprimanded by the emperor and threaten to take away your hereditary status.
Many Tusi comrades are inspired to take root in the frontier. For the cause of border defense of the motherland, he dedicated his youth without hesitation. And it is also a dedication of youth and life, and a lifetime of dedication to children and grandchildren.
Comrade Nurhachi, who was not a little noisy, once followed Li Rusong into the Korean War, and it is said that he also had quite a good record. He has made outstanding contributions to ensuring the territorial integrity of the Korean people and resisting Japanese imperialism.
The Yang family is such a toast, and it belongs to the kind of indigenous toast with the highest status and the heaviest authority. In Sienzhou, Guangxi, the status of Yang He's family even surpassed that of Yang Yinglong back then.
With such a foundation, Yang He has long regarded Liangguang as his own territory. Now Li Xiao wants to insert a pole sideways and directly abolish his Liangguang Governor, which has touched Yang He's bottom line. Now that the bottom line has been stabbed, let's just don't do it and tear up your face and fuck it.
The soldiers of Canton Prefecture were all mobilized, and the guns were quickly distributed to everyone. The soldiers with guns quickly went to the street to impose martial law, and the street, which was still lively and bustling just now, immediately screamed and cried.
"Father, the streets have begun to be cleaned. Li Xiao's internal response that has been identified has all been killed. Now that the army is all in the hands of our people, we can launch an attack on Li Xiao at any time. It's just that ......, our weapons are inferior to Li Xiao's marines, and we may have to pay a big price. "Yang He's son, Yang Zhongwu, was the commander of the Guangzhou Garrison Division and had studied at the Shanhaiguan Army Military Academy. Dad and eldest brother don't know the power of advanced weapons, but he knows it very well in his heart.
"We have ten times their numbers, and we have the determination to die generously. Dick! Now that the arrow is ready to be sent, if you don't send it, tomorrow your military power will be taken over by the people sent by Li Xiao. Then your eldest brother and old man will also be deposed from their official positions, and our whole family will be taken to Hangzhou by Li Xiao's Liao soldiers.
He said it well, and he didn't care for a long time, but in fact, our family became prisoners when they arrived in Hangzhou. If you are not familiar with life, it is not that people can handle it as much as they want. Don't have illusions, today is 10,000 people and 100,000 people, as long as Li Xiao is killed. The capital will be in chaos immediately, and Li Xiao's two brothers are overseas, and they don't have time to rush back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the old man united with the governors of the five southeastern provinces to declare the Li family a rebel. When the time comes, we will help King Gui ascend the throne as the emperor, and our family will be the hero of Conglong. For the sake of the family's glory and future, tonight's events cannot be missed. Yang He hurriedly cheered up the son who led the soldiers, his attitude was related to the success or failure of tonight.
Yang Zhongwu nodded, and the situation that Dad said was also within his expectations. Today, Li Xiao has already shown his attitude, and this handsome man is not good. If there is a silent compromise, it will really be a man-made knife and a fish in the future.
"Got it, Dad! Don't worry, you're going to kill Li Xiao today no matter what. Even if you sacrifice the soldiers of Guangzhou, your son will do it for you. ”
"Good!" Yang He was so excited that the age spots on his face were shining, and this matter was related to the future of thousands of people in the Yang family.
At 11:10 p.m., there was no one on the streets of Canton City. From time to time, groups of soldiers ran through the streets, and residents were not allowed to go out into the streets for any reason. If someone walks down the street, those guys with black cloth wrapped around their heads and black all over their bodies will be stabbed in the head.
Dead people are the best warning, and those eyes lying inside the cracks of the windows and doors tremble with fear at the sight of the corpses. The city of Guangzhou has not suffered from military disasters for hundreds of years, and the last time the strong people made trouble, it did not hit the city of Guangzhou. Cantonese people don't know how many generations have never seen such a killing!
No one dared to hang out anymore, and all those who had dared to yell at the soldiers just now shut up. What a murderous thing! Who is not afraid!
Everything went quite smoothly, and the huge city of Guangzhou was cleared in just over an hour. Those Li Yongfang's subordinates who were found out, without asking, the whole family was killed. After the rapid liquidation of the city of Guangzhou, the army in the city began to assemble.
Twenty miles away, Li Xiao's residence was very quiet, and they didn't seem to notice the changes in the city of Guangzhou.
The militia recruited by the Yang family in the city, plus the regular garrison, was as many as 50,000 people. And that's not even counting the townspeople outside the city!
The Xiangyong recruited by the Yang family were all soldiers recruited by the Yang family from their hometown in Guangxi. The people of Guangxi are fierce, and all kinds of ethnic groups are mixed, and the clans are constantly fighting. The people here have all developed a brave and ruthless character, and with a good body trained by working all day, they are all good seedlings to be soldiers.
The ancestors of these soldiers fought to the death for the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kou on the southeast coast during the Jiajing period. At that time, their name was - Wolf Soil Soldiers!
Boxes of brand-new rifles have been opened, and many of them have not yet opened their oil seals. Yang Zhongwu used his connections to buy them from the Jinan Arsenal. On weekdays, they only take out a part of the rifle training, which makes people think that they don't have a few guns. In the market, Yang Zhongwu has bought more than 10,000 rifles from Jinan one after another over the years.
These wolf soldiers have used this advanced rifle on a daily basis, and they are no strangers to the guys in their hands. It's just a pity that the gun can't be corrected now. Carrying a brand-new rifle, fifty rounds of ammunition and two grenades.
The gates of Guangzhou City were slammed open, and there were no shouts, no impassioned speeches, and no slogans. Yang Zhongwu waved his hand and rode out of Guangzhou City on his war horse first.
The wolf soldiers behind him rushed to the front, and no one in the whole team was lighting torches, and the horses' hooves were all wrapped in cloth. The iron tools on his body were also carefully tied.
At the entrance of the Marine barracks, sentries were swinging with guns. Suddenly, a guy with a face painted with oil paint on his face burst out of the thick ink-like darkness. The sentinels saw only the white fangs and the daggers......
