Chapter 174: The Advance Army, Da Nang, Liwei
After Li Jun found out that someone was besieging Gu's restaurant on the boat, Gu Xingye briefly told him what had happened to the Chinese in Da Nang in recent years.
Li Jun asked people to send a signal arrow and asked the fleet to send more people ashore to support. They rushed to the shore at full speed.
After the steamship docked, Li Jun, Pang Wanchun and others rushed towards the Gu family restaurant with two hundred special soldiers. Gujia Restaurant is about two miles away from the wharf, and everyone will rush in a minute or two.
When the natives and the Westerners discovered them, they reported to the leaders of the two armies: "I don't know where some of the Middle-earthites have come from there, and they seem to be coming at us. ”
Seeing that there were not many of them, Li Yuanjia and the leader of the Western Army immediately sent two or three hundred people to stop them.
Seeing the enemy rushing towards him, Pang Wanchun ordered, "Prepare grenades." When the distance between the two sides was only fifty or sixty meters, Pang Wanchun first threw a grenade, and the dozens of soldiers who rushed to the front threw one each.
Dozens of grenades exploded in the enemy group, and most of the enemy troops who rushed over in a moment lay down.
Li Jun, Gu Xingye and others took the lead in rushing into the enemy group, and they were all green with steel knives, killing the enemy soldiers' heads rolling.
The enemy troops behind saw such a group of fierce gods and evil, and turned around and fled.
Although there were few people in the group of people seen by the natives and the Western coalition forces, all of them were fierce and abnormal, and their people couldn't resist it at all. Li Yuanjia was the first to admit his cowardice, and fled first with dozens of cronies.
When the natives saw that the chiefs had fled, they also dispersed. The remaining two or three hundred outlaws from the Western countries could not resist it, and they also fled after the natives.
Li Jun asked Pang Wanchun, Qiu Qionghu, and Xie Bao to lead people to pursue, and he and Gu Xingye ran towards the people who escaped from the Gu family restaurant.
Li Jun and Gu Baye knew each other, and when they saw that he was directing Dayi to line up to deliver water, they knew that they were going to get water to extinguish the fire.
Gu Xingye couldn't help but shout loudly: "Eighth uncle, you are suffering." ”
Gu Baye raised his head and looked at the two of them: "Ah, it's Li Yingying and Xingye, it turns out that you brought someone to save us." I seem to have heard someone say, didn't Li Yingying leave the Gu family's fleet, did he come back again? ”
Gu Xingye preemptively said: "We are not in the Gu family's fleet now, but under the account of the little marquis of the horse, we are the leader of the navy, Brother Li is the commander of the navy, and I am the deputy commander. I was ordered by my uncle to bring 2,000 people to the command of the little marquis. ”
"Who is that little marquis?" Gu Baye asked.
Li Jun replied: "The little marquis is the little prodigy who led the troops to destroy the Xixia Kingdom last year, and now he is the master of the horse, and he is our little master." He stepped on the legendary Big Dipper, and was a grandfather-like figure of this dynasty. But the officials were very jealous of him and had already removed him from his official position. Therefore, everyone persuaded him to go south to Annam, establish himself as the king, and then slowly map the Central Plains. ”
While Li Jun was explaining to Gu Baye, Gu Xingye took a few people to pick up the large army.
After a while, Pang Wanchun, Qiu Qionghu, Xie Bao and others also returned. Pang Wanchun said to Li Jun: "The enemy army is familiar with the streets and terrain, and they scattered and fled into the streets and alleys of Da Nang City, and we could not catch up with them. I didn't dare to part easily, so I simply gave up. ”
Li Jun asked the soldiers to help put out the fire. With the addition of this new force, the fire was quickly extinguished.
Although the Gu family restaurant burned a few holes, the large column head was not damaged, and the carpenter could replace those slabs afterwards.
Gu Baye called a few people in charge and asked them to arrange for their subordinates to hurry up and cook, everyone had eaten something casually in the morning until now, everyone was already hungry, adults were bearable, and some children were already hungry and crying.
Gu Baye asked people to call Li Shijiang and several other vice presidents to get to know Li Jun, Pang Wanchun and others.
Everyone had just said a few words, and suddenly a Gu guy said to Gu Baye: "Eighth Master, the leader of the Annan Security Army has come over with a thousand people again. They came with them the same people who wanted to burn us to death. ”
"Let's go, let's go and see what kind of face they put on today." Li Jun said.
Several people greeted Ruan Chengfu, the leader of the security army, and Pang Wanchun motioned to Xie Bao to bring two hundred special soldiers.
Seeing Gu Baye and the others coming, Ruan Chengfu shouted in Annan language: "Shopkeeper Gu, do you Gu family still want to gain a foothold in Da Nang, your people killed hundreds of people in Jiangang City today, how can this account be calculated?" ”
Suddenly, there was a loud shout behind him: "You don't need to find the shopkeeper Gu for this account, I will calculate it on his behalf today." ”
"Who are you? Do you dare to take this indiscriminate account? Ruan Chengfu turned around and shouted. Turning around and looking up, I don't know when, there were dozens of people standing behind him with steel knives in their hands, wearing short clothes and shorts, and the people led by them shot a signal arrow, and in a moment, thousands of people poured out of the streets and alleys in the distance like a tide, running towards the Gu family restaurant from three directions, and soon surrounded more than 1,000 of them.
Gu Chengye took the opportunity to roar: "If you don't surrender on your knees, do you really want to be killed?" ”
Westerners, in line with the principle of surrendering if they can't fight, are the first to lay down their arms. The security forces and natives slowly followed, and some of them laid down their arms.
"Don't surrender! Whoever surrenders, I will destroy his whole family! "Li Yuanjia is the leader of the largest tribe in the vicinity, in addition to his own tribe, he also manages several small tribes, and he thinks that he is strong, and he tries to resist stubbornly.
Qiu Qionghu had already looked at him unpleasantly, a flying stone hit the middle of the face, and another flying stone hit the center of the eyebrows.
The enemy's flying stone stunt is really extraordinary, two flying stones in a row, fast and fast, all hit the vital point.
Li Yuanjia lay down on the spot and couldn't move. The indigenous army cobbled together by Li Yuanjia had no restraint and threat, and surrendered one after another.
While the advance army surrounded him everywhere, Ruan Chengfu couldn't please him, and when he saw that the Westerners had already coaxed him, he was not willing.
Roaring to order his subordinates to protect him from the encirclement, he just raised the knife in his hand and wanted to take the lead in rushing to kill, Pang Wanchun raised his crossbow and shot an arrow, which killed him on the spot.
All the security forces were already frightened, and a thousand people knelt down five hundred pairs in an instant.
Fang Tianjie ordered Gu Baye to send someone to arrest and execute several people who committed the most heinous crimes, and the others were not to blame as long as they were honestly doing coolies.
He also asked Li Shixian and others to take people to appease the residents of the city, telling all the residents that although Da Nang City was taken over by the advance army, it would not harass everyone. Everyone lives with peace of mind, and the advance army will help everyone solve any difficulties.
In the next few months, Fang Tianjie, Zhu Wu, Li Jun and others, with the help of Gu Baye and local Chinese Li Shijiang and others, completed several major things:
The first is to divide and disintegrate the surrendered security army, Westerners, and indigenous troops, and play the forced coolies who are not good at work, first expanding the port, and then expanding Da Nang City.
Second, for Westerners who performed well, more than 100 people were selected to be assigned to each ship as sailors. The security forces and natives who performed well selected 300 people and 500 Gu Jiajun brought by Gu Xingye to form a security patrol team to maintain law and order in the city.
300 people were selected to lead the way for the special combat team, and first more than 20 large and small tribes within a radius of 300 miles, totaling more than 25,000 people, were recruited, and they were persuaded to move from the mountains to the coastal plains. After killing some of the tribal leaders who were stubborn and disobeying orders, and rewarding two or three leaders who took the lead in descending the mountain, all the tribes finally agreed to move to the designated place.
The third is to let the medical team of the little god doctor An Daoquan open several medical points in the city and provide free medical treatment for the people in the city every day. This righteous act of the advance army was well received by the residents of the city.
Fourth, on the 16th day of the winter month, the advance army and navy wiped out the coastal area of Annam, and the largest pirate fleet captured more than 50 large and small wooden ships, eliminated more than 500 pirates, and captured more than 1,800 people.
Since then, the advance army has gained great prestige and prestige in Da Nang......
