Chapter 148: Under the city of Guiyang
When the first gunshot came from Zhong Changzuo's bedroom, the officer escorting Zhong Changzuo to Anshun sat up from the bed and took out the pistol that had been prepared long ago.
"Platform leader, what happened?" Hearing the gunshots, the other soldiers in the room sat up one after another.
The officer shook his head and just signaled them to make great efforts.
When the second and third gunshots were over and no one broke into their room, the officer said to them. "Okay, there is no business for us, let's continue to rest..."
But there were several gunfires just now, and even the heartless soldiers could not sleep under such circumstances. Several smart people even came to the officers. "Platform Commander, is it Mr. Zhong's place?"
The officer shook his head and told them not to worry too much. "We are Governor Cai's personal soldiers. Tang Jiyao will not attack us as long as it is not troublesome. You should go to bed early. We just need to see what that guy Tang Jiyao said until tomorrow..."
The next morning, the officer got the answer he expected, that was, Zhong Changzuo was killed by the rebels in Anshun City. As for why the rebels killed Zhong Changzuo, how the rebels got into the county government and why he killed him alone, Tang Jiyao did not give an explanation.
Looking at Tang Jiyao's explanations with great flaws, the officer was very aware of it and did not ask in detail. Tang Jiyao was also deeply satisfied with this.
However, looking at Zhong Changzuo, who was covered with white plates on the ground, the officer felt a little sad. "I wonder if Governor Cai expected Mr. Zhong to come when he asked Mr. Zhong to come..." Fortunately, the officer didn't need to worry that Cai E would punish him, because he believed that as long as he made the matter clear, Cai E would understand who killed Zhong Changzuo.
Regardless of the sadness in the officer's heart, after dealing with Zhong Changzuo, at least in Anshun, Tang Jiyao had no resistance.
"General, let's set out sooner."
"Yeah." Tang Jiyao nodded. "It's really better to arrive in Guiyang earlier." After killing Zhong Changzuo, Tang Jiyao felt a little guilty, for fear that Cai E would send someone to come after learning about this.
Because Dafang County is not as close to Anshun as in Guiyang, it was not until the Yunnan Army entered Guiyang City that Yangshan and Sichuan Army arrived at the periphery of Guiyang.
Fortunately, the Yunnan Army was only a few hours earlier than the Sichuan Army, so when the Sichuan Army arrived, the Yunnan Army had not built any fortifications on the periphery of Guiyang. As for the original Guizhou Army? The Guizhou Army that Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng could control was too little to even control the Guiyang City, so where could anyone work to build the fortifications...
——————————
"I didn't expect it to be later than the Yunnan Army..." Looking at the Yunnan Army and Guiyang City Wall, after throwing the telescope aside, Yang Shan said to his chief of staff.
"It's not too late. At least the Yunnan Army did not arrive much earlier than us. Otherwise, they would have built a circle of defense lines and fortifications outside Guiyang, which would be enough for us to have a headache for a long time..."
While the two of them were talking, the Sichuan Army under their command had already begun to build their own fortifications in the safe area outside Guiyang City. Looking at the Sichuan Army under Guiyang City, the angry Tang Jiyao grabbed Liu Xianshi's collar and shouted. "There are at least 10,000 Sichuan Army below, and you actually told me that there are only a few thousand. Are you fucking blind?!!!"
No wonder Tang Jiyao was so angry, because after learning that the Sichuan Army had also intervened in the civil strife in Guizhou, Tang Jiyao kept asking about the number of Dai Kanchuan Army, and even asked Liu Xianshi once after he arrived in Guiyang. In order not to scare Tang Jiyao away, Dai Kan and Liu Xianshi's answers were unified. "Three or five thousand people..."
This number made Tang Jiyao feel much more relieved because he did not think that the Yunnan army he led would lose to the three or five thousand Sichuan army, even if all the Sichuan army came this time were Sichuan New Army.
However, when the Sichuan Army arrived at the periphery of Guiyang, Tang Jiyao climbed the city and saw that he would not mention the neat military appearance of the Sichuan Army for the time being. In terms of quantity alone, it would be at least two or three times more than Dai Kan and Liu Xianshi said, which gave Tang Jiyao a feeling of being played with.
"Shou, General Tang, please be anxious." He calmly wiped off the saliva from his face, and Liu Xianshi spread Tang Jiyao's fingers bit by bit so that his neck could breathe a sigh of relief. "Although there are many Sichuan troops below, the general's Yunnan troops also have 5,000 people. In addition, the city defense is convenient and the more than 2,000 Guizhou troops in the city, we don't need to be afraid of the Sichuan troops below."
It was also helpless for Liu Xianshihui to face Tang Jiyao's anger alone here, because Dai Kan knew very well that when the lies were exposed, Tang Jiyao, who was deceived, would definitely cause trouble for himself. It was not impossible for him to blow himself on the spot in the angry house. So after returning to Guiyang I wish Dai Kan ran back home on the pretext that something was wrong, leaving only Liu Xianshi to push the jar here.
"2000 Guizhou Army..." When Liu Xianshi said 2000 Guizhou Army, Tang Jiyao smiled contemptuously. "If it were Yang Xicheng who led the Guizhou Army to the Northern Expedition, maybe I don't need to worry, but those below? Lord Liu, don't blame Jiyao for speaking rudely. The existence of those people itself is an insult to the soldiers..." Because of being deceived, Tang Jiyao said something a bit unpleasant, but Liu Xianshi's 2000 Guizhou Army even had the standards of patrol battalions. No wonder Tang Jiyao's tone was so contemptuous.
When he heard Tang Jiyao say this, not only Liu Xianshi's face turned dark, but even the surrounding Guizhou military officers became popular. However, looking at the group of personal soldiers around Tang Jiyao, they could only stand still.
He looked at Liu Xianshi and others with contempt, and Tang Jiyao held the telescope and continued to observe the Sichuan Army below. When he noticed that the Sichuan Army's uniforms and helmets were different from ordinary military uniforms and steel helmets, and the 1888 Committee rifle in his hands, Tang Jiyao's hand holding the telescope tightened unconsciously.
"The Sichuan Army that came this time is probably the Sichuan New Army..." No wonder Tang Jiyao thought so. Although the 2nd Division may not be able to compare with the 3rd Division in terms of quality, at least the 2nd Division is still very good in appearance. Even the Beiyang New Army cannot compare with the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army, which is wearing a 32nd military uniform, a 35-steel helmet, and a 1888 rifle in his hands.
Tang Jiyao thought that equipment like the Second Division was obviously only the so-called elites were qualified to wear. In Sichuan, it seems that only the original temporary editorial No. 17...
