Chapter 54 Victory is the basis of negotiations
Back in time, the day before the capture of Jinling City, Wang Feng's agents sent him a message: Yuan Shiren already knew Wang Feng, and the strange thing was that he regarded Wang Feng of Hanjiang City and Wang Feng of Guide County as two people.
"What's going on? Have you checked it? Wang Feng asked.
"When we were investigating this matter, there was a black hand that seemed to be following us, and it seemed to be a mysterious force! I don't know why, but all of a sudden, this force disappeared. No matter how we looked, we couldn't find it. Originally, we thought it was Yuan Shiren's intelligence agent, but after so many days, we can be sure that this force does not belong to Yuan Shiren's father and son, but seems to belong to the imperial court. ”
"The Imperial Court? That's right! This Yuan Shiren always wants to overthrow their court, and the power of the court will naturally not listen to Yuan Shiren anymore, so if he doesn't tell Yuan Shiren my true identity, it will be completely explained! Wang Feng suddenly thought of the key place.
"If that's the case, then we can be a little bold, and act here a little bit more, so that Yuan Shiren can focus on Jinling City!"
At this time when the situation was changing, the Jiangnan Provincial Coalition Army (Southern Army) only approached Jinling City wholeheartedly.
Now the eyes of the south and the north are focused on Jinling City.
A coalition of three armies. It's completely out of the way of the coalition forces.
All wanted to grab the first merit in the southeast, the southern army approached the Zhonghua Gate, the Zhen Army and the Li Department approached the Xuanwu Gate, and the iron-blooded army faced the Qilin Gate.
The three armies have completely lost contact with each other, and Lin Yanjun, the commander, was even more coerced by Xu Minghao and Hu Hansan, and he couldn't ask questions.
Wang Feng held the fort of Tianbao City, but insisted on not firing a cannon into the city, and no one knew what he was thinking.
And the Jiang defense army is also desperately guarding Jinling City, and there is no intention of abandoning the city and escaping.
I don't know how many people have complained about Wang Feng's move in front of Xu Minghao and Hu Hansan, especially Huang Yiou, who was released from the military justice department, jumped up and down the most.
Wang Feng naturally had a plan in his heart, even if Jinling City didn't open fire, he would have a way to take it down.
He thinks about more things, after taking Jinling City, what is the next step?
This is the most troublesome thing for him now, and it is also the most uncertain thing for him.
To be honest, as long as he has the strength in his hands, with his merits and prestige these days, it is more than enough to compete for the governor of Jiangbei!
But what does it mean to be a governor who can only be the winter after that?
Integrate the forces of the party to deal with the Beiyang Army that is going south for the second time? Thinking of the scattered sand, the comrades who began to fight for power and profit before the emperor of the Daqian Empire abdicated, he felt that it was better to shake his head quickly.
Sometimes, knowing the general direction of history, I have a feeling of powerlessness. In the past two days, he has been meditating and pacing at the front every day, and no one knows what happened to the young deputy commander, and when he saw it, the whole person lost weight.
In the faint morning light, Wang Feng was spinning around the camp with his hands behind his back, and no one dared to disturb him.
Now every day at the staff office, orders were given to positions all night, and the soldiers were in the trenches, vigilant for a possible enemy counterattack at dawn.
Only Lu Si is still following Wang Feng, since he handed over the position of captain of the guard beside Wang Feng, he has been leading the teaching group, these days, he has not fought a battle, and he has been ridiculed by Chen Jianghe and them. In the past two days, he has revolved around Wang Feng again, wanting to attack Jinling City.
Wang Feng didn't care about Lu Si's meaning at all, he just looked at Tianbao City blankly.
Time passed slowly, and the sun jumped out from behind the Purple Mountain almost suddenly, giving Tianbao City a golden edge.
The banner of the Iron Blood Army fluttered proudly in this dazzling light. Wang Feng stretched out his hand, as if trying to catch the sun, and finally his hand was on the brim of his hat, almost as if he was saluting the rising sun.
He let out a long breath, as if he had made some decision, the whole person relaxed, he turned back to Lu Si and smiled: "Go!" Let's meet personally. ”
This person was secretly escorted out of the Shuiguan from the Shuixi Gate and was secretly escorted by the guards of the Liangjiang Governor's Office.
When Zhang Renjun's old man talked to him, he just kept sighing, and his expression was very gloomy.
Zhang Jizhi specially sent this person to Jinling City to carry out activities, and Wang Feng was looking for a relationship for him, and before entering the city, he also brought Zhang Renjun a condition: the iron-blooded army promised to do one, and never fired from Tianbao City to Jinling City, so as to prevent local erosion and the people from suffering. 2. Ensure the safety of the lives and property of Zhang Renjun and his family, and send people to escort him back to his hometown.
But Zhang Renjun must do the following: 1. Do your best to only let the iron-blooded army enter the city as much as possible. 2. The protection of the domain treasury and armory was only given to Wang Feng's troops. 3. Make every effort to maintain local peace. Fourth, the above conditions can be transferred to Tieshan, but the Jiang defense army with big pigtails is strictly kept secret.
Zhang Renjun didn't seem to care, and agreed with a wry smile. When parting, he took the hand of the contact person with infinite emotion: "Brother, brother has known you for so many years. The net worth and life of the old brother can be all in your hands. Go back and tell Commander Wang, brother, I will do everything! ”
He looked very emotional: "We old people should also get out, the world in the future will be a stage for heroes like Commander Wang, and he is a great person." ”
The liaison smiled slightly, and didn't take his words to heart, but Yin Yin said goodbye to Zhang Renjun, and when he came out of Shuiguan, he was full of satisfaction.
Wang? It's just a force that can be used.
Wang Feng's small tent was crowded with officers, and officers above the battalion level of the three regiments and affiliated detachments gathered together.
Everyone looked a little irrepressible excited, these days the officers were a little depressed by Wang Feng's eccentricity, and they wanted to fight Jinling City, but no one dared to bring it up.
I watched the Zhen Army and the Southern Army launch several unpleasant attacks, all of which allowed the remnants of the Jiang Defense Army, which had no way out, to repel with the fortified city.
Today, when the commander regained his vigor and strode into the tent, everyone couldn't help but cheer in their hearts.
Although this commander is young, he already has quite faith in the hearts of these young officers he has single-handedly promoted.
led the team to recover the Han River overnight, resigned from the position of Governor of the Han River, and ran to the front line to fight with Zhang Da Braid! Although there are not many words, it is really ruthless and accurate when it comes to calculating people.
When he arrived at the front line, he was stunned with two fists. He can also share weal and woe with the soldiers, eat the same two meals a day, eat a big pot of dishes together, and in the iron-blooded army, his prestige has been slowly established.
Wang Feng glanced at the officers and said with a smile: "Don't you want to enter Jinling City?" Good! Chief of Staff Wu, read the order now! ”
All the officers stood up, their chests were raised high, and their eyes were fixed on Wu Wencai, eager to snatch the briefcase in his hand.
Wu Wencai's face was serious: "The plan for this attack on Jinling City is as follows!" At 3 o'clock in the morning of December 3, the first regiment entered the city with the second and third battalions from Shuiximen Shuiguan, and before 12 o'clock tonight, it must reach the location of Nanhu! After entering the city, the second battalion was used as the left district team to control the Liangjiang Governor's Domain. The third battalion is the right district team, controlling the commanding heights such as Jiming Temple, Qingliang Mountain, Drum Tower, and Wutai Mountain! A regiment and a battalion were in reserve to control the west gate of Shuiguan. The teaching regiment entered the city from the Qilin Gate with one battalion and three battalions, and the first battalion was the left district team to control the area around the former Ming Imperial City. The third battalion is the right district team, which controls the small battalion horse standard artillery mark. The second battalion is a reserve to control the Qilin Gate! The 2nd Regiment and the detachments directly under the military headquarters are the general reserves, which will be dealt with according to the situation. This operation is limited to 5 o'clock in the morning on December 3, and all units must complete the combat mission! ”
These officers thought they had misheard, and watched Wu Wencai close the briefcase heavily.
Without the specific deployment of troops, how can we arrange without firepower, and to put it mildly, we can swagger into Nanjing City from two places?
Wang Yangming and several officers glanced at each other, and were about to speak.
Wang Feng raised his hand to stop them: "No need to ask, strictly keep the secret of tonight's operation!" In the direction of the Southern Army and the Town Army, send out a patrol sentry line to block all news! At night, how do you connect the two places? When you set off, the chief of staff will explain them one by one! The order has been given, everyone is giving me action! ”
After saying this, everyone vaguely understood that this chief, who didn't know how many ideas he had in his heart, contacted a giant in Jinling City who didn't know which one! The time was so urgent, the officers dispersed in a hurry, and only Wang Yangming hesitated and turned around when he went out.
"Commander, you can't be in contact with Zhang Da Braid, right?"
Wang Feng smiled and said: "There are some things, I still have principles. ”
Wang Yangming silently saluted Wang Feng and trotted away.
Ximen Shuiguan has always been a joint garrison between the Supervision Guard and the Jiangfang Battalion, and there are several small steamers controlled here, which are used when preparing for the big officials to slip away.
The Governor sent almost half of the guards here, and more than 400 people were all good guns. The Jiangfang battalion, together with the defenders on the city wall, also had more than 170 people at two outposts.
The weather had gradually cooled down, and the soldiers of the Jiang Defense Army had eaten dinner at eight o'clock in the evening, and then they were driven to the city gate, and they were all listless.
When the river wind blew, they all shivered from the cold, and some of the bold ones scolded.
"We squatted well in Xuzhou, two railways, one canal, our brothers can't eat, and now they are fucking running to Jinling City to drink the west wind!"
Immediately, someone chimed in: "Commander Wang and Commander He are dead, let's rely on this city to defend a fart!" There is no food and grass inside, there is no rescue outside, on that day, Lao Tzu took off his coat, looking at where to hide, Zhang Dashuai bites my bird? ”
There is also a trivial one: "He slept sweetly with the woman in his arms, and our brothers were on duty at night, and they didn't even take a sip of wine!" The woman asked me to sleep for one night, and Lao Tzu worked for him with peace of mind. ”
When the sentry officer heard these conversations, he didn't hear them, but he was just thinking about whether his concubine in Xuzhou had stolen people.
Just when he was not embarrassed or embarrassed here, he saw an officer of the overseer's office walking up to the city wall with dozens of brothers.
Everyone seemed to have wine in their hands, and the smell of meat wafted far away in the cold night, and the soldiers stopped talking, and looked at those people with bright eyes.
The officer laughed, "What else are you guys watching?" The army knows everyone's hard work, and specially rewards everyone, what are you waiting for? Do it! ”
The soldiers of the Jiang Defense Army cheered, and the men and horses of the two sentinels rushed over and fought one after another. was full of thanks to Zhang Zhijun, and of course there was also a vague curse on his handsomeness.
The officer watched the two sentries of the Jiang Defense Army take the largest portion of wine and meat, and they had eaten happily there, sneered slightly and took out their pocket watches to look at them, there was a trace of imperceptible nervousness on his face, and he looked out of the city, where it was still night.
