Zhao Chuanxin has always been in charge of killing and burying.

He patted his ass and left, and the Qing court suffered.

Japan's Lin Quansuke and Portugal's Bai Langgu went back to report miserably.

Once the two countries are combined, those who can govern the Chinese must be Chinese.

The loss this time is too great.

The Portuguese sank two warships, the Japanese sank one, and a cargo steamer was snatched, which was nothing short of a banditry.

In addition, Japan shy emphasized that Dongsha Island was discovered by Japanese businessmen and should belong to Japan.

Japan and Portugal sent a joint note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing court: Zhao Chuanxin was cruel and murderous, cunning and extravagant, and was really the biggest thief in the world. Zhao Chuanxin injured the envoys of the two countries and killed the crew of the Erchen Maru, while the Qing army was on the side, and he watched from the wall. The deadline is ten days, and this liao is arrested. However, the group of ships will arrive at the coast of the Qing Dynasty in a few days, and the disaster of the soldiers is at present.

This was only the first treaty, and in addition to this, they demanded that the Qing court compensate the Portuguese and Japanese warships for money.

Forbidden city.

Cixi was so angry that she had a heart attack, she dropped one tea cup after another, and she felt puzzled: "Zhao Chuanxin, this thief has caused trouble to the imperial court, and the warships of Japan and Portugal are about to bombard the coast of our country, what can I do?" ”

Aixin Jueluo Zaifeng was silent.

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan stubbornly said: "The Japanese wolf is ambitious, and the Portuguese are greedy for the island and are determined to succeed." Zhao Chuanxin is cruel and cunning, if they are allowed to fight and lose both, the court will only delay. ”

Cixi slapped the table: "What if Portugal and Japan really fire cannons?" ”

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan is not surprised, Cixi is like this, she is afraid of being beaten, and she always retreats.

He remembered the results of the discussion with his son in the morning, and said: "The courtier said that Zhao Chuanxin's ability is unpredictable, not only ferocious, but also greedy, no less than the great powers. If you give money, to whom is it not given? The imperial court only needed to send an envoy secretly to deliver Zhao Chuanxin with gold and silver goods, so that he could scuttle the Portuguese and Japanese warships, and the siege of the warships would be immediately resolved......"

The people around gasped.

I blanched ...... It's really bad.

It's throwing meat buns and letting the dog eat the dog.

Originally, the endless cycle situation in which neither the two countries could offend the two countries nor take Zhao Chuanxin's way was immediately revitalized.

Cixi was so anxious at this time that she couldn't care about the grievances with Zhao Chuanxin, she glanced around: "Who wants to be an envoy?" ”

Everyone bowed their heads in unison.

The folk call Zhao Chuanxin the god of war, and the officialdom calls him the "plague god".

I don't want to get too close to the plague god.

Cixi frowned.

One by one, they are self-proclaimed ministers, how can they not be relied on at critical times?

She suddenly thought of something: "Zai Zhen has dealt with Zhao Thief and knows him very well, so let him go." ”

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan is like being struck by lightning.

Is that called dealing with?

Dealing with half to death? Hit the gold mountains and silver seas?

Cixi was eroded by the wind, but at a critical time, her eyes were like knives, and she looked at Aixin Jueluo Yixuan.

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan's mouth was bitter: "Minister, obey the order......"

……

Long Jiguang and Lu Rongting got the order of the Qing court and began to fight back against the rebels.

A total of more than 20 battalions began to besiege Youfu Mountain.

At first, the persimmons of the Qing court picked soft pinching and attacked the inconsequential hills of Mosha, Kafeng, and Quli.

Because they urgently needed a victory to give an account to the Qing court.

Fortunately, there was nothing dispensable here, the rebel army only symbolically resisted, and in some places there was not even a defense, and the Qing army successfully occupied it.

The main force blocked Longzhou, Ningming, Pingxiang and other places, step by step.

Sun Gongwu has his own means.

Baron You, a retired French artillery attaché, even helped Sun Gongwu to operate the cannon and fire at the Qing army after being beaten by Shuangxi.

I don't know how I was convinced.

His skills were very good, and he directly hit the camp of the Qing army, causing the backyard of the Qing army to catch fire, killing and wounding more than 60 people.

The Qing army only made a small victory at first, and then was hit by the fierce artillery fire of the rebel army.

In particular, when the camp was bombed, Chen Bingkun, the commander of the gang stationed at the pass, heard that it was Sun Gongwu and Huang Xing who personally supervised the battle on the mountain, and knew that this would greatly enhance the confidence of the anti-thieves, so they did not dare to act rashly.

The combat quality of the Qing army was not high, and the marching speed was slow.

Chen Bingkun could only wait for backup on the spot.

Right on the mountain.

Shuangxi found Huang Mingtang: "Now hurry up and think of a way out, otherwise many people will suffer." ”

Huang Mingtang actually still values Double Happiness and Wang Long.

But at this time, the rebel army was in full swing, but Shuangxi said bad things, which made him very dissatisfied: "What happened? We are about to push back the Qing army in one go, how can we retreat? ”

Wang Long said, "Governor Huang, have you seen the map?" ”

Huang Mingtang was stunned for a moment: "Naturally, I have seen it, and I watch it every day." ”

There is a map on the wall.

Wang Long took out a pencil from his pocket, walked to the map, clicked a few points casually, and drew arrows.

Huang Mingtang's cheeks twitched: "Don't scribble." ”

Wang Long turned a deaf ear: "Don't say anything else, look carefully, Chen Bingkun is blocked here, and the Qing army is coming from all directions, and we are about to be surrounded." Even though the terrain of Youfu Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, has Governor Huang calculated the ammunition? ”

These points and lines are very clear, Huang Mingtang has never seen such an analysis of the battle situation.

was said by Wang Longyi, Huang Mingtang beat a drum in his heart.

However, the rebel army had the upper hand from beginning to end, which made him fluttering, and some of them couldn't listen to Wang Long's words: "What you said is not unreasonable, but the Qing army has been scared by us, as long as you insist on holding on to ......."

Wang Long put away the pencil and spread his hands towards Double Happiness.

Shuangxi endured his impatience and said, "Our insurance team has military classes, and I have also learned a little fur." Governor, wars are fought with logistics and attrition. Eliminate the other's strengths, and persist for a short time. Once it fails, the Qing court will settle accounts with the villagers who took refuge and the people who brought us water and food. ”

Huang Mingtang was also impatient: "Okay, you guys go out first." ”

Shuangxi is also a hot-tempered person, and left with Wang Long in a huff.

When he went out, Wang Long said: "I don't need to explain to them, these people who sit in the well and watch the sky really think that after two days of fighting against the wind, they will understand everything." ”

Shuangxi grabbed his messy hair and said in distress: "Mr. Chuanxin said that he was not afraid that the enemy would take revenge on the people of Lugang Town, and if he killed one of the people, he would kill ten enemies." But I knew that if too many people were killed, he would go crazy. At the moment, the rebels are bound to be defeated. Those people who followed the rebel army are afraid that it will be difficult to die well. ”

The people of Lugang Town care a lot about hairstyles.

In the past, Double Happiness had refined short hair.

But during this time, how can there be such a fine barber as the barber shop in Lugang Town?

His hair was long, messy like a chicken coop.

Wang Long said a little cold-bloodedly: "If you are not related to them, what do you care about them?" ”

Shuangxi shook his head: "Have you seen the eyes of those people?" There is light in their eyes, and they really hope that these rebels can succeed and bring them a good life. What's more, during this time, I also ate a lot of eggs they brought. ”

When facing the Japanese, Double Happiness has never been soft.

But for his own people or the people, he has never bullied others, let alone been cold-blooded.

Therefore, Double Happiness is in Lugang Town, whether it is among the people or in the insurance team, the personnel are the best.

This is a man with clear grievances.

Wang Long was helpless: "Brother Shuangxi, what's the matter?" These deflated calves now have a sense of superiority, and they don't listen to us at all. ”

"Let's take a look first, it's really not good, when the time comes, I'll help out, and you can return to Lugang Town by yourself."

"Hehe, Brother Shuangxi, I won't leave you alone."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

On this journey, both of them have grown.

Things turned out as the two expected.

Chen Bingkun waited for reinforcements in place, Lu Rongting in the back transferred troops, a large number of Qing troops poured around, about 5,000 Qing troops, the soldiers were divided into four routes from Qingshan Fort, Nanguan Gate, Mosha, Nanguan Zuobi Mountain, Sifangling and Jianshan, etc., surrounded the rebel army on the Youfushan Fort.

At this time, Sun Gongwu, who was carried away by the victory, realized that something was wrong.

First of all, the ammunition was running out, and secondly, the outer wall was so dense that the people who came to bring water and food were no longer able to supply the rebel army.

In the command post, the corners of Huang Mingtang's mouth foamed, and he came in scolding and said: "Zhang Shuangxi and Wang Long, the two thorns, always muttered to me that they wanted to retreat, and said that the people were in ......."

Sun Gongwu was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly became solemn: "You carefully explain their words." ”

Huang Mingtang didn't know why, and recounted it carefully.

When Sun Gongwu listened, his face turned a little pale: "Zhang Shuangxi really said that?" He said that he learned it all in the military class of the insurance team? ”

"Yes."

Sun Gongwu was silent and began to be in a daze.

Lugang Town Insurance Team, that is a strong team that has won many battles.

Under the leadership of Zhao Chuanxin, they have been fighting more with less, and they have not lost a battle so far.

What's even worse is that they have fought countless times, and their combat experience must be better than their half-people.

Since both of them say so, there must be a reason.

The more Sun Gongwu thought about it, the more panicked he became, and summoned Huang Xing and other henchmen to discuss: "Now that the ammunition is about to run out, I plan to go back to Hanoi and raise money to buy weapons." ”

Huang Xing was stunned and said, "Didn't Zhao Chuanxin smuggle in a batch of weapons and ammunition? It shouldn't be far away, right? ”

In fact, raising money to buy weapons or something is an excuse, and Sun Gongwu is mainly afraid.

Where there is life, there is hope.

He immediately said: "Zhao Chuanxin's batch of weapons, because of the recent turmoil in the Kyushu Ocean, the sailors are watching it closely, and they can't be transported in for the time being. ”

Huang Xinghu suspected that it was precisely because of the great trouble in Kyushuyang that the Qing court was too busy to take care of itself, and the weapons were transported smoothly.

He still wanted to speak, but he saw Sun Gongwu's secret envoy's eyes.

Sun Gongwu hid it from most people, but he didn't hide it from Huang Xing.

After the others dispersed, he said: "The weapons were shipped quickly, but if you look at the map, do you think that the Qing army is so tightly deployed, can we smoothly transport that batch of weapons and ammunition to Youfu Mountain?" ”

Huang Xing was speechless.

What Sun Gongwu said was the truth.

So, Sun Gongwu took his henchmen led by Huang Xing and left Youfu Mountain first.

When Shuangxi and Wang Long heard the news, the two looked at each other.

Wang Long scolded: "Cowardly as a mouse, you actually ran away? ”

Shuangxi smiled: "Don't say that, aren't people going to raise money to buy weapons?" ”

"The weapons and ammunition sent by the captain are already on the way, and you are still buying a fart weapon?" Wang Long has never encountered this kind of thing, because the insurance team has never abandoned his teammates. "The protagonists are all gone, Brother Shuangxi, let's run too."

Shuangxi disagreed: "Look again, if you want to go, isn't it easy for you and me?" ”

"That's right." Wang Long has a strong self-confidence in his own skills.

And that night, Lu Rongting led the Qing army to launch a fierce attack on the Zhenbei Fort!

Huang Mingtang was blinded......
