Chapter 134 Dirty Politics (2)
"His grandma's, where is the whole of Yunnan?"
Zhang Zhihe stood on the top of the city with a gaze of eyebrows. He was the leader of the first battalion of Liu Wenyu, Liu Shuai. However, when someone came to report the message to the Grand Marshal the day before yesterday, the Qing army who came from Xiangyang, who had lost the hand of the rebellion in several places in Hubei these days was devastated. When the messengers arrived in Dangyang the day before yesterday, they were almost sent out as spies and immediately chopped their heads.
However, it seems that after the letter brought by the other party, the general was hesitant, but he believed it a little. He was worried that the rioters had been tricked, so he decided to select one of his subordinates to sneak into Jingshan County in batches according to the agreement in the secret letter. Who knew that a bunch of muddy people who had eaten too much wine and meat were all marinated, and no one dared to do this chore, well, including himself.
In the end, the general ordered by the Grand Marshal himself and asked him to take his elite troops to rush to Jingshan to lurk, and used the explosion as a warning to break through Jingshan County.
Zhang Zhihe didn't expect that the whole of Yunnan really wanted to surrender to the court. After hiding for a night of fear, he finally won one victory. After blowing up the leader of the rebellion, there was obviously a shortage of bullets and guns in the city. The civilian army, which had just formed a shortage of army troops, was in chaos. If there were several civilian officers who had been assigned to the night patrol mission last night and did not attend the celebration banquet, he would not have been wasted all night to disperse the civilian army in the city!
"It's all this turtle boy in Yunnan. If it weren't for him, my subordinates wouldn't have lost so many brothers!"
Zhang Zhihe was heartbroken. That bastard in Yunnan was fine. He snatched Liu Ying's hometown last night and patted his butt and left. Although there were many wealthy families in this county, the family with a little strength was not a 180-strong family in captivity. It was a shiny quick-sharp gun on his hands, which was much better than the old sleeves they had touched for several years. Therefore, although he was jealous, he just relaxed his subordinates and snatched some civilians in the city. For the Qing army, they were not good at fighting, but when it comes to robbery, they were the most professional horse thieves in China. When the robbers came to them, they would admire them!
"Sir, that bastard has already left!"
There were men beside him. Last night, they lost their brothers of 40 or 50 to defeat the civilian army in the city. The few teams of people did not know where to flee. Due to the lack of troops in their hands, Zhang Zhixiong was not only sent a team of 100 people to wander around the county town, but the rest were left in the city, waiting for the arrival of the commander.
Although the defense of the civilian army in Shayang is strong, once Jingshan is lost and the news that the senior executives of the revolutionary army in the city are caught there, the civilian army that has just formed will be dispersed and will be unable to resist the general's troops!
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhihe looked proud. He should have been beneath the whole of Yunnan. However, this bastard was a bastard. After fulfilling his wish, he patted his butt and ran away. Naturally, the first skill of destroying the city fell on him. After the provincial civil strife was completely quelled, if the imperial court granted him a reward, he would inevitably move his seat that he had not moved for more than three years. Maybe he could take the position of the bidding team at that time!
"Ji Le is almost the same as your brothers. Please be careful and be wary. You can't be a mistake at this critical moment!"
Found that his silly soldiers were still waiting for his orders, Zhang Zhihe coughed twice and quickly ordered his subordinates to step up their guards in the city. He remembered that the general mentioned that the Hubei branch military government of the rebellious party was next to Jingshan. It was different from Jingshan. It was said that the subordinates had almost ten thousand troops. And unlike Jingshan, the elite new army soldiers who came from Wuchang all the way, all of which were three heads and six arms, and they were like monkeys. It was said that the wise and powerful Martial Artsman Zhang was broken into their hands, and even the governor was arrested.
Although the general also said that this was because the rebellion was insidious and took the opportunity to cause trouble while the two adults were having dinner, and there were many unprepared things in the city, which made them successful in their rebellion!
These remarks were obviously everywhere, and Zhang Zhihe was not stupid or stupid, so like most Qing soldiers, he was infected with phobia of the party, for fear of encountering these terrible existences in the legend that they could not be beaten to death and could not spit out bones. Unfortunately, the general personally clicked him.
"Sir, please rest assured that under your wise leadership, our sixth battalion has successfully occupied the city's advisory bureau, yamen, governor, and city defense camp. Moreover, the King's Officer was also ordered to pursue the remnants of the chaos of the army during the chaos of the army. We are in charge of the city with the Lord. It is expected that even when the general arrives, we will never lose the city!"
Next to him was a Qing army general flatteringly. While speaking, there was a burst of gunfire from afar outside the city. The Qing generals on the city wall didn't care. The gunfire sounds had not stopped since last night. When the gunfire sounds were dense, it was probably because the King's officer had caught up with the fleeing rebels.
However, there are still people in the Qing army who know the knowledge. But when one of the Qing generals who were only about thirty years old heard the gunshots, he seemed to find something wrong after hearing the crime. He then accused him of the crime and ran away for a while. His face changed and he hurried to Zhang Zhihe to report: "Sir, the big thing is not good... it's not good!"
Zhang Zhihe accepted the horses for a while, and at this moment he felt proud and had a feeling that he was the only one in the world. When he heard someone exclaiming, he was unhappy on his face, but when he turned around, he saw that he was a 'talent' who had studied in the Baoding Army Academy. Even the general attached great importance to him. Although he was unhappy, he asked with a kind face: "Oh? Do you know what Chu Yu found?"
"When I say that, I found that the gunshots outside the city were not right. I heard the sound of organic cannons in the exchange of fire!"
The young officer called Chu Yu explained to him that the machine gun he mentioned was not the kind of continuous automatic artillery, but the Maxim machine gun purchased by the court for the new army. When the arms dealer recommended it to the ministers of the Qing army, he ordered two soldiers to cooperate in shooting at the flock of sheep. As a result, more than two hundred sheep were shot in a few minutes, and most of them were smashed to pieces by their domineering ballistics, which completely shocked the ministers of the Army. They called it "mechanical cannons", referred to as machine guns. They were a weapon with a lower cost than heavy cannons, but no small caliber cannons were cheaper.
Since the Manchus' own arsenal could not produce such weapons, foreign foreign arms dealers repeatedly adjusted the price of the Manchus' Qing Dynasty in order to make huge profits. In addition, the consumption of mice bullets is really powerful. Therefore, the number of machine guns purchased in China so far is less than 1,000, and most of them have been scattered all over the place and are all used as small cannons on the city walls.
Liu Wenyu also had some machine guns, but they usually guarded them like treasures. This time, seeing that his mission might be dangerous, he was allowed to bring out four small cannons, but they were all on the city wall to guard them. If there was really a sound of machine guns outside the city... Then... the faces of the crowd suddenly turned pale, and they obviously thought of the key to this. At that moment, Zhang Zhi and his group quickly held their breath and listened to the almost inaudible gunshots outside the city.
"this……"
I heard it now. Isn’t the sound of gunfire that sounded like a machine gun? His face turned so scared that he was pale, obviously he thought of something!
"Sir... I'm afraid the chaos in Yingcheng is coming... what should we do?"
Those who understand the situation in the province immediately thought that it must be that the noise last night was too loud, which alarmed the giant beast next to it!
Giant beast? That's right, just as the Qing army led by Mengchang was afraid of the Wuchang Revolutionary Army, although Liu Wenyu was unruly, he could not stop his subordinates from fearing the huge thing lying around Xiangyang. The establishment of the Hubei military government completely cut off Liu Wenyu's intention to lead his army from Suizhou to go south through Hubei. He had only less than 4,000 troops. Because the Hubei military government was extremely strict in the search of the Qing Dynasty, if it was arrested, it was either dead or imprisoned. After some torture, a lot of news about Xiangyang's city defense was leaked. Since he had never received the military newspaper in Hubei, after thinking left and right, Liu Wenyu finally chose a more stable path, passing through Dangyang through two Jings and heading south along the Han River Waterway.
However, what he never expected was that he had not taken the initiative to provoke the military government of Hubei. The troops from Hubei almost caused the army to panic and return. The reason was that the troops in Hubei were divided into two places. Within one day, they went south to Tianmen, Qianjiang, and north to Suizhou and Guangshui. The troops pointed directly at their old nest Xiangyang. The morale of the army was suddenly panicked. Before the two armies had fought, the thousands of Qing soldiers under his command became phobia. The army stopped moving to Dangyang!
"what to do?"
Zhang Zhihe's face was pale and thought to himself, what should I do, and I want to ask you what to do? He was also very scared. If it were to say that the Qing Dynasty was a man of ordinary propaganda. The revolutionary party had become a fierce god with green faces and fangs in their mouths, and he would not spit out bones. No wonder Qing generals like Zhang Zhihe, who were born in a green camp, were scared!
However, he couldn't show his timidity in front of his subordinates. He took a deep breath to strengthen his courage and shouted: "I'm afraid he's a bear... Think about your beautiful wife and concubine, Liu Laosi, don't think I don't know that you just opened the sixteenth room. You, Mr. Du, heard that you were driven out of the house by the tigress because you took the fifth room? Isn't it? I told you that no matter how afraid you are, you must be brave enough to keep it for me, otherwise...huh..."
He was also unsure of the fact that the court treated Han ministers so fiercely. If he dared to surrender to the enemy and was discovered, he would be extermination of the clan.
"It's... sir..."
