A month and a half, whether it is long or short, it is enough for him to do a lot of things. Zhu Shanhai walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back. Once connected with the Russian railway, it means that the aid from Britain and Russia will be continuously transported. However, before this, he must control the situation in the northwest as soon as possible.

Liu Changxing followed behind with all his steps. He knew very well the situation they were facing. The northwest provinces had been implementing the compulsory military service law for a long time. There was no shortage of troops, but what was lacking was weapons and ammunition. For a long time, the court had followed a very strict system for the supply of arms in the northwest provinces. There would be no shortage, but there would be no wealth.

With a conscription order, they were able to easily recruit more than 100,000 veterans who had undergone strict military training, but they could not provide enough weapons and equipment, and even the ammunition required for live ammunition training was not enough.

The military region does not have spare weapons and ammunition in stock, but they are firmly controlled by Feng Renxuan's men. A legitimate small amount of demand can be met, but if the number is slightly larger, it will be rejected and the excuse is high-sounding - the war is imminent, and sufficient share of weapons and ammunition must be guaranteed.

As for the promise of Britain and Russia to provide a large amount of arms assistance, they ignored it and left them speechless without matching. This is a fact after all. The caliber of the standard weapons and ammunition of Britain and Russia is indeed subtle and cannot be used.

At present, they recruited a lot of new recruits, but they were all waiting for British and Russian arms assistance. However, the railway lines across the Kazakh prairie are all within the Anxi Province and under the control of Feng Renxuan. If they do not have enough strength, they will eventually rest assured. Judging from Feng Renxuan's face, they may eventually work in vain and make wedding dresses for Feng Renxuan.

After a long silence, he tentatively said: "Can the Russians transport a batch of arms first and use a horse team to transfer..."

"Hmph." Zhu Shanhai snorted coldly, "If Feng Renxuan doesn't want us to strengthen our strength, the arms transported can only be cheaper for them."

Liu Changxing hesitated and said, "It was only when the two provinces declared joint autonomy to the outside world, and his appearance would not be so ugly."

"I dare not take a chance for one and a half months." Zhu Shanhai said in a deep voice: "Besides, I never put my hope on my opponent."

"What should I do?" Liu Changxing asked subconsciously. Without enough weapons and ammunition, no matter how many troops are, they cannot form strength.

"Give it!" Zhu Shanhai said crisply.

Liu Changxing was shocked, "Snatch the military region's arsenal..." Is this crazy? This is simply a tiger's snatch food. Even if he can succeed, it will inevitably inspire conflicts and trigger large-scale internal strife, which is completely unworthy of the loss!

"Who said he wanted to grab the military region's arsenal?" Zhu Shanhai said in a low voice: "Don't the Super Biao Battalion in Gongning City also have an arsenal?"

Liu Changxing was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak. The Super Biao Ball was the old name. After Xinjiang and Anxi successively established provinces, the Super Biao Ball and Fu Ball were renamed local armed police, and they were still under the command of the governor and the governor, but they were no longer part of the imperial court's economic system.

As local armed police, there is naturally a gap in equipment, and there are naturally no heavy weapons such as field artillery. There are also very few heavy firepower weapons such as light and heavy machine guns, mortars, etc. However, light weapons are standard rifles like the Martial Arts.

The Super Biaoying Camp in Xinjiang is no exception. It is much larger than that of the mainland provinces. The Super Biaoying Battalion has a total of 10,000 troops. Gongning City is no exaggeration to say that it is the world of the Super Biaoying Camp. He really doesn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a while, he spoke: "Zuobudo is not a kind person..."

"It's just an old sick tiger." Zhu Shanhai said disdainfully. The reason why he only had the idea of ​​attacking the Super Biao Camp was not only because the Super Biao Camp was relatively weak, but also because Zuo Zongtang had close contacts with Feng Renxuan, and he also needed to completely control Gongning City.

Gongning City was also called Mancheng in the early days because there were a large number of Eight Banners officers and soldiers stationed in the city. After the constitution was established, a trend of abolishing the city was set off throughout the Qing Dynasty. Gongning was not greatly affected, but more than 6,000 barracks in the city were all occupied by the Supervising Battalion.

Since Zhu Shanhai launched a mutiny to put the empress dowager and the emperor in house arrest, Gongning City was also extremely vigilant. Although the two provinces later jointly declared autonomy, because the empress dowager and the emperor were still in the Governor's Office, Zhu Shanhai entered the city and his troops controlled the west gate, so the situation in Gongning City was particularly complicated and the garrison was naturally extra strict.

Since the mutiny, Gongning City, which was originally extremely prosperous, gradually became deserted. Although martial law was lifted, police and officers and soldiers patrolling back were seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Merchants in the city gradually disappeared, and residents could try not to go out. Before dark, the city would be particularly deserted and the city gate would be locked and closed early.

After midnight, all the gas street lights in the city went out, and the whole city suddenly fell into darkness. At three o'clock in the morning, a group of black shadows appeared in the west gate - "Rotong" gate. After sending a signal with a flashlight, the suspension bridge on the moat slowly fell down, and then two heavy city gates slowly opened.

Teams of black shadows rushed towards the city gate with a low shout. Unexpectedly, the group of people had just walked through the city gate and heard a sharp roar rising into the sky and then exploded in the night sky. This was an extremely common fireworks, but it was particularly eye-catching on the quiet night.

Soon, several sky-rushing cannons exploded in the night sky, and alarm sounded suddenly everywhere in the city, followed by a rapid military call, and the extinguished gas street lights lit up again.

Zhu Shanhai, who had just climbed to the Ximen City Gate, was not surprised at all when he saw this scene. He just ordered in a deep voice, "Quickly seize the little Ximen and the South Gate and launch a strong attack!"

As the order was issued, two red signal flares slowly crossed the night sky.

The Censor's Office was awakened by the sound of the military trumpet. Zuo Zongtang, who was hurriedly wearing clothes, happened to see the red signal flare slowly passing by. He knew without asking, Zhu Shanhai had taken action!

He had long expected that Zhu Shanhai's courage to take risks and unwillingness to defeat others would inevitably make trouble to capture Gongning in order to achieve the goal of completely controlling Gongning City and firmly controlling the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Therefore, he had already made careful arrangements.

When he returned to the room to change his clothes and rushed to the signing room, he could faintly hear the messy and dense gunshots and explosions from the city. Li Yunlin hurried in and bowed and said, "Report to the ministry, the earliest warning message came from the West Gate..."

Before he finished speaking, Fan Daxing, the battalion officer in charge of the yamen guard, quickly stepped in and saluted: "The central camp has been assembled, please ask the ministry to give an order."

Zuo Zongtang said in a deep voice: "Come to the east gate quickly, be sure to ensure the safety of the east gate and clear the eastern suburbs."

"I will obey the order."

After waiting for Fan Daxing, hesitation, Li Yunlin said: "Mr. Master is planning to give up Gongning City?"

"It's okay if you don't let it go-away-." Zuo Zongtang sighed lightly, his tone was full of reluctance and reluctance. Li Yunlin was puzzled, "The military region is close to you, Gong Ning is in danger, Commander Tang must come to rescue him, and at most you only have to hold on for half an hour..."

"Zhu Shanhai dared to use Gongning City as a battlefield, but the headquarters did not dare." Zuo Zongtang said in a deep voice: "Besides, giving up Gongning City is also a part of the plan."

Is this intentional indulging Zhu Shanhai to a big shot? Li Yunlin's heart sank and hurriedly said, "The Empress Dowager and the Emperor..."

Zuo Zongtang said without hesitation: "Of course we will evacuate together."

For Zhu Shanhai, Empress Dowager Ci'an and Emperor Guangxu were naturally rare goods, so the Governor's Office became the primary target. As two red and yellow signal flares rose, the guards that were already stationed in the city rushed directly into the Governor's Office, and the battle started first around the Governor's Office.

Hearing the dense gunfire from outside the high wall, the Governor's Mansion was in chaos. Empress Dowager Ci'an, who had experienced countless storms, was much calmer. After ordering the execution of several panicked eunuchs and palace maids to calm the situation, she ordered in a deep voice, "Gao Yuande, take the emperor over, everyone else will do their jobs and do not act rashly!"

"Report to the Empress Dowager, Tong Weisheng, the chief commander of the Imperial Guard, was looking for a meeting outside."

"Prince!"

Tong Wei walked in grandly, and after seeing the ceremony, he said in a deep voice: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Zhu Shanhai led his troops into the city to cause rebellion, and is fighting fiercely with the Super Biao Camp outside..."

Zhu Shanhai was causing trouble again! Ci'an couldn't help but be angry. In this case, Zhu Shanhai actually launched a rebellion. Isn't this arbitrary self-destruction? After calming down, she had already guessed the other party's intention - this was a re-use of the same trick, and wanted to control her mother and mother again!

After pondering for a moment, she asked in a deep voice: "How many troops does Zhu Shanhai's troops have entered the city?"

"Returning to the Empress Dowager, it is impossible to judge at present." Tong Weisheng hurriedly said: "However, a large number of people are coming in the direction of Ximen." After a pause, he continued: "The current situation is not clear, and I will beg the Empress Dowager to move..."

Move? There are chaos outside and the soldiers are fighting, and they are blinding. How to move? The gun is not eye-catching. If the emperor has any accidents, how can she explain to the ancestors? How can she explain to the royal family and the royal family? How can she explain to the court?

"No need, stay behind closed doors and wait for assistance." Ci'an said in a deep voice: "Tang Bingcan's army is in the eastern suburbs, and will not sit idly by and will come to support soon."

Ci'an saw it thoroughly. Even if Zhu Shanhai's troops surrounded the Governor's Office, they would not send troops to attack him regardless of the safety of her mother and her mother. After all, she was only valuable when she was alive, and neither Zuo Zongtang nor Tang Bingcan would let her mother and her mother be held hostage by Zhu Shanhai. In terms of military strength and combat power, Zhu Shanhai's troops did not have an advantage.

Gunshots rang out everywhere in the city and gradually became denser. During this period, there were sporadic explosions, and the entire Gongning City was filled with a pot of porridge. Gas street lights were destroyed and fires were ignited. Some houses were fired or ignited one after another. For a time, fires in the city rose, reflecting the night sky red.
