On the same day, in the yamen of the Jiangning General of Nanjing, Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang of the Qing Dynasty, and Tie Liang, the general of Jiangning, also sighed to the sitting. During the day, guns and cannons in the north of the city were fired for a day, and in the afternoon, the defeated Jiang Defense Army returned to the city. General He Shiqiao died in battle. The defeated soldiers boasted the Democratic Party as heavenly soldiers and generals, and they would turn around when they hit the bullets.

Zhang Renjun is already a very depressed old man, with his gray braids both short and sparse. He looked at Tieliang with dizzy eyes, but he could only sigh. Tieliang and he stared at him with big eyes: "Qianweng (Zhang Renjun's name is Qianli), what are your plans for the current situation?"

Zhang Renjun just smiled bitterly: "Lianggang, what are your plans? I am Fengjiang, and I can only sit in the yamen and wait for the Democratic Party to come to the door. If it really doesn't work, it's just a rope."

Tieliang also smiled bitterly, this important minister of the Qing Dynasty sect and socialist party. Now he felt helpless: "I have to go to the city by then, and everyone will die together." Zhang Renjun shook his head slightly: "Brother Lianggang, I am at this time and I am not afraid to say something to you. This time it is different from the Hongyang Rebellion. Tens of thousands of bannermen and people in the city are all in your hands, and there are really no need for some things."

Speaking of this, neither of them had the mood to continue talking. The two ministers said so long, but did not mention Zhang Xun in a single sentence. Perhaps in their hearts, there was no confidence in Zhang Xun's Jiang Fangjun.

Zhang Renjun walked out of the dripping eaves and watched his police officer greet the sedan chair. What was in his heart was thinking about the letter Zhang Jizhi sent to him. "Yuchen was new to the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the coalition army. Ji Zhi saw that this son's ambition was not small, and he had been in charge of the army to purify the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. The decline of the Qing Dynasty was no longer human power. If the army could be well-organized and explained to Yuchen, Ji Zhi could safeguard the leader of the army's command..." He looked back at the dragon flag that was powerlessly floating in the general's yamen and lowered his head and got into the sedan chair.

With the large amount of white steam and the harsh sound of brakes, the night train from Zhenjiang slowly entered the Shanghai Station. Huning Road was still under the management of the British Road Bureau, and the trains were still on time. Even the employees of the Road Bureau worked with a hint of leisure, without any influence from the changes in the situation outside. The station was full of hawkers and coachmen waiting for customers, and there was a hustle and noisy moment.

A figure who looked like an officer and two guards came out of the second-class carriage. It was Tao Junbao, the chief of staff of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai coalition forces and the town army. He looked up at the sky and hurriedly merged into the crowd.

Tianbao City is a military fortress on the southern foot of the Toutu Peak on the Zijin Mountain. If cannons are displayed on it, the firepower can completely control the entire Nanjing city. In the years and months of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the most battles were fought around this fortress. This time, it was almost the last line of defense for Nanjing City. Fifteen infantry battalions were arranged in Tianbao City and the surrounding hills. In Tianbao City, the fortress was added to six mountain cannons and field cannons, with eight heavy machine guns. The infantry also selected two of the most elite and fulfilling battalions to be led by Wang Shihong himself. Wang Shihong even raised a big banner at the top of Tianbao City, with four blood-red characters "Protect the Qing Dynasty"!

Yuchen, Lin Shuqing and Zhejiang Army detachment captain Zhu Rui looked at the big flag with a telescope. Zhu Rui was so angry that his hands were trembling slightly. Yuchen tilted his head and called He Sui: "Did you see that big flag?"

He Sui snorted: "Commander, leave it to me. Tonight, we will pull down this flag and throw it at your feet no matter what we do!"

Lin Shuqing put down the telescope and pretended not to hear He Sui not adding a sub-word in front of Yuchen's title. He smiled and said, "Zhuo Ran, your army has worked hard these days, but our town army has not yet started to move. This time, don't compete with the old colleagues of the town army. Tianbao City, let the town army come and take it."

Zhu Rui refused to agree: "Two commanders, our Zhejiang Army came from Zhejiang long distance. What exactly is the picture? We always asked our Zhejiang Army to search for security matters, but we couldn't explain to our elders when we returned. Tianbao City, we would leave it to our Zhejiang Army to do anything." The three troops wanted to grab the first achievement of regaining Nanjing, but the scene was a little frozen. Yuchen smiled and smoothed out: "You should leave these things to the General Staff to make plans... By the way, why didn't you see Chief of Staff?"

Lin Shuqing's expression was a little awkward: "Chief Tao is sick these days, so I asked him to go to Shanghai to see a doctor. Anyway, there is not much work in the General Staff of the Alliance. Nian Sun can solve any problem..."

While he was talking, he heard a noise not far away. Several people looked at each other and rushed over with their guards. When they arrived in front of a small wood, they saw four ordinary people tied up and blindfolded their eyes. They knelt in that place. Huang Yiou was wearing a straight military uniform, holding a sharp Japanese saber in his hand. With a wave of his hand, he cut off one of them!

Yuchen shouted: "Stop!" Huang Yiou stopped the knife in his hand and looked at Yuchen with a proud look on his face. Lin Shuqing was also asking: "Yiou, what's going on?"

Huang Yiou looked at the sword in his hand and said lightly: "These are four spies from the Jiang Defense Army captured by our Zhejiang Army. When his subordinates returned to China, Mr. Funchyama from Japan gave him a family treasure sword. Today, he tried the sword. It was indeed very happy."

Several senior officers showed unbearable expressions, but said nothing. Yuchen shouted: "Chief of Military Law!" Ji Cunzhong, the military law director of the Chinese Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army and the military law director of the coalition forces, ran over and saluted them straight. Yuchen nodded a little disgustedly: "Cunzhong, ban Huang Yiou first! Investigate it clearly before handling it!"

In Yuchen's mind, it's better to make more money, but people can't be killed casually. If they kill all of them, who will he use? In addition, Huang Yiou has never been too scared to him, so he took this opportunity. With his status as the deputy commander, it would be better to give him a ugly look. The most important thing is to the elders of the Tongmenghui behind Huang Yiou. Yuchen has always had his own plans for the Alliance and does not want to be too close to them. He thought to himself that Yuchen's belly was funny, but his face became more serious.

Ji Cunzhong looked at Yuchen with a little hesitation, and Zhu Rui was also angrily not talking. Lin Shuqing was watching the fun without paying attention to his own affairs. Huang Yiou sneered. Yu Chen said angrily to Ji Cunzhong: "What? Isn't my words considered an order?"

Huang Yiou laughed: "Commander Yu, don't bother Brother Cunzhong, I will go to the Military Law Office to report to him." He threw the knife at the guard's hand, dusted his military uniform, and walked out with his head raised. Ji Cunzhong followed him, as if he was a horseman.

The atmosphere in the field was a bit awkward, and Zhu Rui saluted Yuchen and Lin Shuqing: "Two commanders, I will say goodbye first. Chief of Staff Lu of the Zhejiang Army will come to the staff office to participate in the joint formulation of the plan." After that, he turned around and left. It seemed that he had some opinions about Yuchen's handling of Huang Yiou.

Yuchen ordered the people around him: "Send the remaining three people to the Military Law Office and interrogate them carefully! The dead one should be buried properly." He turned around and wanted to leave, and Lin Shuqing called him: "Commander Yu, it would be better to leave some mercy for Kewen."

Yuchen turned to look at him with a passionate expression: "I am thinking about Keweng! We are the revolutionary army, and we are so arbitrarily killing the people without the trial of military law. Is it a good reputation when it is spread? We are much smaller than the power we actually have in the Qing Dynasty. Why did Wuchang respond nationwide in one fell swoop? Isn't it because the people's hearts are on our side? Since the people's hearts are our advantage, in my hands, we cannot throw them away. When I see Keweng, I said the same thing."

He was a little excited and polite to Lin Shuqing and strode away. Lin Shuqing was stunned. What kind of person is Yuchen... But he didn't expect that Yuchen would walk so fast and didn't want to make him laugh proudly.

The attack plan for Tianbao City was determined after a long debate. The Jiang Fangjun is now completely defending the Qing army's counterattack in the direction of Qilin Gate. When the battle against the mountains around Tianbao City was attacked by Yuhuatai, the Second Regiment of the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army and the Teaching Regiment launched an attack on the outer positions of Zijin Mountain. Perhaps the other defenders were motivated by the battle of Yuhuatai, and the progress was quite smooth. The attack on the main position of Tianbao City was fought for, and finally a compromise plan was formulated. The three troops were divided into three groups, each with an elite battalion as the vanguard, and attacked Tianbao City at night. Once taken, they used there as the artillery position and made a threatening artillery attack towards the Nanjing City Supervisory Office.

The Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army launched the attack was the Third Battalion. They selected the guides, and the squad leader and above all replaced the pistols and prepared enough bullets. Under the cover of artillery firepower of more than 20 mountain artillery artillery guns in the entire coalition. They each chose their own paths, climbed vines and kudzu, and launched sneak attacks overnight. As a result, on November 29 and 30, during the two consecutive nights of attacks, because the terrain was really dangerous and the defenders were extremely stubborn, they all failed. The front suddenly stopped at the front line of the Qilin Gate of Yuhuatai. The Jiang Fangjun was a little braver and even launched a counterattack on the coalition, but they were all easily repelled.
