Chapter 78 The Change of Hangzhou

The Zhenguo Army was a little tired from the long-distance raid, so Hu Junyi's troops were still resting outside the city. He and Zhu Rui agreed that ten minutes after Zhu Rui entered the city, the first artillery would be fired as a signal of attack. Zhu Rui's troops would go straight to the Governor's Yamen, and the Zhenguo Army would not attack the city directly. Instead, after the government office was accused, the patrol troops in the city were sandwiched between the Xin army and the Zhenguo Army, and then threatened the patrol troops to surrender. In this way, the city of Hangzhou had been controlled before the reinforcements arrived. At that time, the Alliance Army sent people to the Qing reinforcements to do ideological work, forcing them to turn against and join the Alliance Army.

In history, the person responsible for capturing the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen and capturing the Governor Zengyun was Chiang Kai-shek. More than 100 suicide squad led by Chiang Kai-shek captured the Yamen. Chen Qimei directly participated in the planning of the entire process of the Zhejiang Uprising. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Qimei and others were also under house arrest in the Tongmenghui Mansion in Shanghai. This historical mission will be completed by the Alliance Army. In history, Zhu Rui, Gu Naibin, Tong Baoxuan and others actually participated in the uprising, which did not change much.

At 4:18 pm, a huge roar sounded in the suburbs of the northwest of Hangzhou City. A 130 to 40 mm caliber shell flew towards the Hangzhou city wall with a long tail flame. After a loud thunderous sound, a wall was accurately hit by the shells. The city wall, which was more than ten meters thick, collapsed in an instant and collapsed like a collapsed dike. At this moment, everyone in Hangzhou City suddenly tensed their hearts. This was a loud signal. The world-famous Zhenguo Army had launched an attack.

After Zhu Rui led his team into the city, he pretended to accept Zeng Yun's order and advanced northwest. However, only a dozen minutes later, the sound of cannons rang out. Zhu Rui immediately ordered the troops to turn around and advance towards the governor's office in the center of Hangzhou City. When the people in the city heard the sound of cannons, they knew something was wrong, so they started running around, returned home and closed the door, hid in the house and did not dare to go out easily, and immediately avoided Zhu Rui's soldiers.

When Zhu Rui's army arrived near the governor's yamen, Zengyun was very surprised and immediately sent someone out to order Zhu Rui to go to the northwest to fight the enemy. The answer he got was a crisp gunshot. The new army led by Zhu Rui had all put on red cuffs near the Fuyamen to show the difference from the Qing soldiers, and began to surround the Fuyamen.

At the same time, more than 500 Tong Baoxuan's military police team, who were in the city, rushed to the vicinity of Fuya and joined forces with Zhu Rui's army. According to the previous agreement, Tong Baoxuan was the supreme commander of the rebel army, and Zhu Rui was the deputy commander, and immediately launched an attack on Fuya.

The sound of gunfire suddenly rang around Fuya. Tong Baoxuan and Zhu Rui ordered the troops to quickly surround Fuya, surrounding about 500 guards from Fuya inside, and then ordered people to start bombarding the Fuya wall with artillery fire. Soon the walls around Fuya began to bear the bombardment of the shells and shattered, and the soldiers of the new army began to rush into the Fuya.

"No, Lord Futai, Zhu Rui and Tong Baoxuan have rebelled. They are uniting to attack Fuya." The guard captain ran to Zengyun in panic, who was waiting for news in the house, and shouted loudly with a sad face.

"What, Zhu Rui and Tong Baoxuan, two traitors, dared to betray the imperial court and ordered the guards to fight to my death. They must block the rebels' attack and wait for reinforcements to come and support." Zeng Yun originally wanted to rely on Zhu Rui's three thousand troops to resist the attack of the Zhenguo Army, but Zhu Rui rebelled at this critical moment. The backbone force he relied on suddenly turned against him. His heart was anxious, his face turned pale, and his body began to tremble slightly.

"Sir, Zhu Rui and Tong Baoxuan have more than 3,000 people, surrounded the government yamen. Moreover, they have artillery troops and have begun to shell out the courtyard walls of the government yamen. Several courtyard walls have been penetrated. The rebels will soon rush to the government yamen. We are afraid that we can't resist it. Lord, be mentally prepared to deal with these rebels." The captain of the guard had no confidence at all at all. He knew that the equipment and training of the guards were not as good as the other party, and the number of people was greatly weak. He knew very well that this battle could not be fought at all. The muscles on his face couldn't help but twitched a few times and said.

"Bastard, you have received all your usual military pay in vain. At the critical moment, he became a fearless person. Shaoxing's troops have arrived not far outside the city. They will soon enter the city to support us. As long as we hold on for about half an hour, we will be saved. Don't talk nonsense to me here. You should not command the battle quickly. You must block the rebels outside the Fuyao. Those who violate the order will be shot immediately. I will never give up!" Zengyun thought that after being captured by the rebels, there would be no good ending. She only had the belief of tenacious resistance in her heart. At this time, her mind was burned and she couldn't think of any good idea. She could only howl at the guard captain at the top of her throat.

"Yes, I will command the guards to fight to the death!" The captain of the guard with a fat face had to take the order helplessly. He knew that if he accidentally annoyed Zeng Yun at such a critical moment, he might even lose his head. It would be better to go out and resist for a while before talking.

"Boom, brothers, it's time to overthrow the corrupt and incompetent Qing government. I'll rush into the Fuyao and capture Zengyun alive!" At this time, more than 500 people from Tong Baoxuan's military police were responsible for attacking the attacker's yamen. A wall on the left side of the front had been bombarded by cannons, and gravel bricks on the ground were scattered all over the ground, and there were still thick smoke emitting some places. Tong Baoxuan shouted loudly to his soldiers.

The guard soldiers in Fuya were huddled behind the buildings in Fuya, and defended on the spot under the cover of the bunker. When they saw Tong Baoxuan's military police rushing in from the crack, they began to shoot. A violent gunfire sounded in Fuya, and the military police team with red cuffs began to rush towards Fuya.

Soon the new army began to rush in from broken walls from all directions, gradually surrounding several places where the Fuyane Guards hid. The huge advantage in number and momentum was soon reflected. The number of people and the number of people were greatly increased. The two guard captains were frightened by the deterrence of the enemy's roars several times that of their own, and ordered the guards to fight and retreat. Finally, they were forced to hide in the Fuyane Guard's arsenal.

"Put down your weapons and stop killing them!" A large number of new soldiers entered one after another, pouring into Fuyana like a tide. Soon, the guards were surrounded in the narrow arsenal, and shouted loudly to force the other party to surrender.

The two guard captains were almost broken, and soon ordered their subordinates to surrender. Then, amid cheers, the new army captured Zhejiang Fuya, arrested Zeng Yun and his family who were dressed up as servants and tried to slip away from the back door, thus proclaiming the victory of occupying Fuya.

Among Zengyun's family, there was a servant named Zhang's nurse. He mixed up with a eleven-year-old girl among the servants and was about to escape from the Fuya, but was captured by the Xinjun. This little girl still has some reputation in history. She is Xiao Fengxian, a strange woman who had a marriage with General Cai E, the governor of Yunnan in history.

Xiao Fengxian was born in 1900 and suddenly in 1954. Her original name was Zhu Xiaofeng. She was born in a side house and later changed her name to Zhang Fengyun and Zhang Xifei. She was originally from Qiantang, Zhejiang and was born in Hangzhou City. Her father was originally a military officer of the Eight Banners of Manchus, and was later dismissed.

Because Xiao Fengxian's mother was discriminated against by her eldest wife, she took Xiao Fengxian alone to live a widow. In the end, her mother died. Xiao Fengxian was raised by Zhang's nurse and brought to the Zhejiang Governor's Office to help the servants. At this time, the new army attacked the Fuya. They panic and wanted to escape among the crowd. They were caught by the new army soldiers, but they did not make things difficult for these servants. They would be released one by one after they were found out.

Li Tiancheng also specifically told the Zhejiang Governor's Office that there was a little girl named Zhu Xiaofeng. He asked Ma Chaoyun to explain to Zhu Rui that their people would treat her kindly when they caught the little girl. He didn't want Xiao Fengxian to be shot to death in this incident he planned, so he was also uneasy.

Xiao Fengxian was later taken to Shanghai by Zhenguo soldiers and was arranged to live. Li Tiancheng gave them some money to the mother and the mother, and asked them to open a teahouse in Shanghai to make a living. Xiao Fengxian would have become a famous prostitute who sings and picks up customers in Beijing. Finally, they met Cai E, and the two had an indissoluble bond. After that, Li Tiancheng did not want Xiao Fengxian to continue to fall into the fate of selling herself in brothels, so he took special care of her.

After disarming the Fuya Guards, Tong Baoxuan and Zhu Rui left 500 people to guard the Fuya, and then led five battalions of troops to fight to the northwest patrol battalion. After the Zhenguo Army fired a few shots, the patrol battalion garrison was not seen killing the Zhenguo Army. They were still puzzled. Then they heard the dense sound of gunfire from the governor's yamen in the city. When they heard that Zhu Rui and Tong Baoxuan had rebelled, they were immediately panicked and lost their opinions. They thought about it for a while and felt that Zhu Rui must have been He Zhenguo Army united to rebel. Otherwise, smoke from the city was everywhere, and the Zhenguo Army was still holding its troops on the spot. This was too strange.
