Chapter 52 Jinling City Breaks
A soldier of the Jiang Defense Army was a little anxious to urinate, and walked to the battlement, just thinking about convenience.
His brothers laughed and scolded, "If you die farther away, you don't think we're disgusting enough." ”
The soldier also smiled: "Just to add some food to you..."
He was suddenly stunned and pointed to the city, and said, "Iron ...... Blood...... Predator! ”
The soldiers of the overseer around them suddenly dispersed and surrounded the two sentinels, their guns lying flat on their shoulders.
There was a loud sound of gun bolts, and Jiang Fangjun's movements froze, and he saw that the officers of the team changed: "Don't move!" Everybody's fine! ”
The unlucky soldier was also dragged back by two people and peed his pants.
A sentry officer of the Jiang Defense Army still wanted to make friends: "Brother Bai, what are you kidding?" ”
The team officer called Bai Ke slowly took out a white towel and wrapped it around his arm: "I'm sorry! Now, the brothers are also the Iron Army! ”
The iron gate of Shuiguan was slowly lifted, and dozens of the most common lotus boats in the south of the Yangtze River, full of yellow and flickering soldiers, slid in two columns.
Wang Yangming stood on the boat at the front, and when he crossed the water and closed the doorway, he couldn't help but touch the ancient city wall with a history of more than 500 years.
"Jinling City! Sure enough, Lao Tzu was the first to come in! Although this "type" word, it is a bit reluctant! ”
Bai Kezao was standing on the Shuiguan dock waiting for him with vigor, Wang Yangming saw the white towel on his arm, but ignored his hands that stretched out to help him get off the boat, and jumped up by himself.
He commanded the two battalions to land quickly, and quickly dispersed the formation, and the hot sweat on his head seemed to have returned to the night when the Hanjiang City was recovered, and now it only takes a quick word!
The white guest officer felt embarrassed, and whispered an order to let his soldiers lead the way in front and cooperate with the Iron and Blood Army to seize the point.
Wang Yangming glanced at him at this time and patted him on the shoulder: "White team officer? You have a lot to do! ”
Without waiting for the white guest to bend down and smile there, he rushed out with the team.
Bai Ke hurriedly followed, and spat the head of the stunned regiment in his heart: "If Lao Tzu wants to mix with the party early, it will be your turn to be a kid?" ”
The gunshots finally rang out in Jinling City, and soon they converged.
The ancient city of Jinling was completely shocked, and the gunfire was first loud in the west of the city, and then even in the north of the city.
Immediately afterwards, the fire also burned, and the noise and the cries of the citizens were all mixed together, and Jinling City was trembling in the last night, waiting for a new life.
Those soldiers wronged Zhang Da Braid, how can he be in the mood to act on the little woman now! has been half-asleep on the marching bed in the study branch, full of lawsuits.
Hearing the gunshots, he reacted almost immediately, and immediately sat up from the bed, mutiny? That was his original idea.
He shouted, "Someone! ”
Several of the patrolling officers and the officers of his own army rushed in, and it seemed that none of them had slept soundly for the rest of the night.
Zhang Da braid asked people to help him sort out his clothes: "Take my big order to play and press it to see which battalion is making trouble?" Send two outposts to protect the Overseer's office. Tighten the garrison in all directions, and don't let the Hui Party take advantage of the chaos to attack the city! ”
The subordinates looked panicked and took the orders around, Zhang Da Braid was not at ease, ordered his own personal barracks, and was about to patrol the city on horseback to personally quell the chaos.
The gunfire became tighter and tighter, mixed with the sound of explosions, and just as he felt that something was wrong with his pigtails, several of his men ran in with a rolling belt.
"The Governor, the party has entered the city! Machine guns are all erected in the drum tower! ”
This was really a thunderbolt from the sky, and Zhang Da's pigtails shook on the flat ground for a while, and his face suddenly turned pale.
There was no movement on these four walls, how did these parties enter the city?
Run away right away? Martyrdom for the imperial court? All kinds of thoughts came to the heart of this dead-eyed adult.
Finally, he asked, "How did they get into the city?" ”
One of his subordinates responded with a cry: "It's the Inspector's Guard who is backwatering, and I saw one of their deputy captains, Bai Ke, still running in front, and that bastard even cut his braids!" ”
Zhang Braids didn't answer again, turned over and went to lead the team to the superintendent's office, he didn't expect that it was Zhang Renjun who put the party into the city, and wanted to contact the governor to do a death struggle.
In the night sky of Jinling City, from time to time, bullets flashed one after another, and the streets were full of soldiers of the Jiang Defense Army who were at a loss. There are also many people who take advantage of the fire to rob, throwing obstacles and weapons on the road, and getting everywhere.
With a gloomy face, Zhang Da Braid led his guards and galloped towards the Liangjiang Governor's Office on the Yangtze River Road.
At this time, the west and south of the city were completely chaotic.
When I was about to arrive at the Governor's Office, I saw that the two sentries who had been sent to the Governor's Office in advance had already retreated.
The guards left behind by the superintendent suddenly opened fire on them as they approached, and the guards had white towels wrapped around their arms!
Now Zhang Da Braid understands everything, Zhang Renjun, the old man, also took refuge in the party!
He frantically clamped the belly of the horse, led hundreds of personal soldiers, and rushed straight towards the gate of the superintendent's office, before turning the corner.
The machine guns mounted on the wall of the Governor's Office opened fire, knocking down the pigtailed horse and dragging him back at the risk of death.
His face was already bruised, and he was angry and shouted at the street corner: "Zhang Renjun, you have been favored by the country in the world, and you have been a thief when you are old, do you want to be embarrassed?" Do you have the face to see your ancestors? ”
He was answered by a string of machine-gun bullets, shooting out fires on the bluestone pavement.
Several pro-soldiers desperately dragged Zhang Dabianzi back, and persuaded him loudly: "Governor Dadu, now that the party is gradually heading north of the city, this place is over." While the north of the city is still in our hands, let's go from there! Return to Huaibei Road and reorganize the old department, that's it! ”
Zhang Da braid had red eyes, and he struggled to the death there: "Lao Tzu, even if you die, you will die in Jinling City!" ”
The soldiers ignored his shouts, put him on a horse, and whipped him! More than 100 cavalrymen fled with big pigtails towards the north gate of the city.
Zhang Da Braid glanced back at the light of the stray bullets all over the city, and finally lowered his head in resignation, this court is really over!
After a night of chaos, by the time it was almost dawn, the Iron Blood Army had completely taken control of Jinling City.
The Jiang Defense Army did not organize effective resistance at all, and was divided, surrounded and disarmed!
The white guest made a great effort inside, running before and after, and persuaded him to surrender there by virtue of his familiar face.
The soldiers of the Predator also knew that the commander was most interested in possessions. What Domain, Jinling Customs Dao Yamen, Yali Bureau, Lifeng Salt Bureau, Salt Seal Official Silver Trumpet, Mint, Tongyuan Bureau, etc., have all sent heavy troops to guard, and every dollar is watched closely.
And the city was closed until the morning, and when the artillery of the city was bombarded and demonstrated, the city gate was opened and surrendered, and the Jiangning general Tieshan had long since disappeared.
On this night, the Zhen Army and the Southern Army also realized that Jinling City was wrong, and hurriedly assembled troops to attack the city.
But the soldiers of the Jiang Defense Army in front of them also resisted! wanted to borrow the road to enter the city from Wang Feng's side, but was blocked by the sentry line of the Iron Army.
It was not until almost dawn that the defenders of the Jiangfang Army in other directions knew that the general trend had gone, and they surrendered to the two armies.
At this time, the wealth of Jinling City had already fallen into Wang Feng's palm.
Xu Minghao and Zhu Rui of the Southern Army and others only sighed, and worked hard to organize a coalition army, but the credit and benefits were snatched away by Wang Feng.
If he wants this Jinling Governor, who can stop him?
At this time, Wang Feng didn't care what others thought, and he didn't care that Zhang Renjun was in the supervision office, holding the customs and defense books and waiting for him to explain.
From two or three o'clock in the morning, when the city was first set, he ran into the city with people and baggage camps.
I didn't care if there were still stray bullets flying here, and the rout was running around, so I ran to a few places where there were accumulations to check the spots.
The Jinling City Domain had 2,900,000 taels of silver, 140,000 taels of Jianghaiguan Road, and 1.3 million taels of other places combined.
Wang Feng waved his hand: "Leave 200,000 taels here, and all the others will be moved!" ”
He didn't want to contribute these savings to the upcoming short-lived provisional government.
On December 4, Jinling City was recovered.
On the Yangtze River, the overall situation in the southern part of the Great Cadre has been decided, Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, was captured, and Zhang Da Braid and Tieshan escaped with the guards on a detour upstream.
The Jiangfang Army Brigade that fled to the direction of Jiangmen was all disarmed! In this battle, more than 20,000 defenders of Jinling City were annihilated (including 20,000 prisoners), and the Iron Blood Army suffered less than 1oo casualties.
The gongs and drums are noisy, the colorful flags are displayed, it is a sea of people...
Wearing a military band with gold threads, a brand-new yellow tweed military uniform, and a gold-rimmed military hat, walked in the front and slowly entered the city from the Zhonghua Gate.
Behind is a neat company phalanx, and the front company is the first regiment, three battalions and one company of the Iron Blood Army. After a series of supplements, he walked on the road in high spirits, overcoming natural danger and reinstating the city.
The first company received the banner of "Jinling City Company" personally issued by Wang Feng, and this flag fluttered at the forefront of the entire iron-blooded army, and walked with the banner of "iron-blooded pioneer".
Wang Feng took his staff and followed behind the three battalions and one company on horseback, he deliberately wore a yellow tweed military uniform without medals, looking simple and calm, and constantly saluted the welcoming people on the horse.
A group of young officers gathered around him, illuminated by the winter sun, was an oil painting from the Restoration period. Young horses, crisp uniforms, and vigorous life, nothing is lacking.
Under the flickering of the magnesium light, Wang Feng's young and energetic figure was frozen together.
In fact, Wang Feng also knew that the Hui Party would never let him be the governor of Jinling City, and many elders of the Hui Party would not agree, and they would definitely let their own people be the governors, including Mr. Sun, even if it was Chen Yingshi or Hu Hansan.
The Hui Party can't afford to lose anymore, and in the whole south, there are fewer and fewer troops that can control them, and only in Jinling City, they still have such an army. If they do not fight for it, the entire party will no longer have the ability to lead the cadres, and they will inevitably lose the election in future general elections.
So when Wang Feng is on the road, he is as high-profile as he is, this is his capital, the more he must fish, the better, the more he catches, the safer he is.
The greater his prestige, the more jealous he will be within the party, and naturally he will not be killed, and the safer he will be.
"The Tao is different, not the same as each other!" Wang Feng, who knows the truth, has seen all this a long time ago.
Next, he has to hide his figure, as low-key as he is, so that the party will no longer notice him, even if he is an invisible person.
Wang Feng can rely on this kind of concealment to complete all his next goals, control the army as much as possible, and wait for the opportunity to come back, and the moment he comes back, it will be the time when the world is turned upside down.
Now he is tantamount to recuperating his strength, he must train his soldiers well, grasp the financial resources, expand the production of military factories, and when the opportunity comes, he will inevitably make the entire cadre change color.
