Chinese culture is profound and profound. With a single word, it can be used to live countless people and corpses everywhere. Try to avoid it, not much loss. Every word in this sentence makes the gentry tremble and the souls are scattered.

When they heard that Zhang Yuan came back, the gentry were even more frightened and almost collapsed on the ground and shouted, "Jie Shuai, please beg me, please take the creatures in the city as your thoughts..."

When Zhang Yuan guarded Jiangning in the past, he was famous for treating equally and selflessly. People in the deep boudoir dreams, leaning against the door to sell laughing wives, were no different in the eyes of braided soldiers; gentry, good people, peddlers and pawns, also dealt with them in one stroke.

After the Songjiang Uprising, in order to prevent chaos in Jiangning, Zhang Yuan ordered anyone without braids to be killed. At this time, his thoughts were in the open, and there were countless people who cut their braids in Jiangning. There were both students and gentry children in the inner yamen. As a result, when they encountered braids, they would kill them. The heads of the people who were killed were rolling, and the corpses were piled up in mountains. Women raised their bodies to the Qing pond, and there were also many people hanging on the southeast branches.

After Jiangning was revived, Ge Mingjun sent troops to cut his braids in the street, and more than 90% of the people in Jiangning City had already cut off their braids. If Zhang Yuan brought his troops back at this time, the people of Jiangning would almost be slaughtered, and no one could escape the women. Even these powerful gentry in front of him would be difficult to save their lives and clan children.

Originally, the gentry was still shaken, and now they must firmly support Zhao Guanhou. Zhao Guanhou laughed and said, "You have something to say. I naturally know that Jiangning is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and there are countless famous places and historical sites. I personally admire Jiangning's scenery and do not want to repeat the scene when Zeng Jiushuai broke the city. I believe that I have seen my Anmin Notice. If my fifth town controls Jiangning, I will ensure that there is no crime and fair business. I will bring a military police battalion. Who dares to violate discipline and kill it on the spot? Please rest assured. At present, I am here for peace. As long as Ge Mingjun can understand the righteousness and cooperate with my work, I think things will be resolved soon."

Zhao Guanhou's conditions were already planned, and there were four such

1. Ge Mingjun disarmed all weapons, and the fifth town has the obligation to ensure the personal safety and freedom of staying and leaving. Among them, officers above the standard command can keep their swords, officers above the tube belt can keep one self-defense pistol, and the commander's guard can keep their armed forces, and the number of people must not exceed twenty.

2. Soldiers have the right to decide their own stay or leave. If they intend to join the official army, no one can stop them.

3. Those who leave Jiangning will be issued a pass by the Fifth Town to allow them to operate in the southeast, but the travel expenses per person shall not exceed one hundred yuan.

4. Severely punish the culprits of kidnapping Chen Lenghe, Chen Wuwei and Li David were transferred to the Songjiang Trial Office and tried for the crime of kidnapping.

These four requirements are equivalent to unconditional disarming of the Soviet-Zhejiang coalition forces and prosecuting Chen Wuwei personally. Several gentry were quite embarrassed. Zhao Guanhou smiled and said, "If you feel that the negotiations cannot be completed, it doesn't matter. I will not make it difficult for you. You will go back to your house and fight with Ge Ming's army. If the goal cannot be achieved, I will withdraw..."

As soon as he retreated, it was conceivable that Zhang Yuan's braided soldiers must have come to take over the defense. Several gentry hurriedly said, "Gong Baoshou is not impatient, let's try it now and mediate with them as much as possible. Your army has arrived in Jiangning, and people and land are both alive, and it will be inconvenient to raise military supplies. We will do this part for you."

Local businessmen and gentlemen prepared 50,000 kilograms of white rice and several thousand kilograms of meat to deliver. On the one hand, the fifth town took these rice, grain and supplies, and on the other hand, they also prepared enough foreign silver. Although there are official money invoices issued at present, the fifth town deliberately did not use it and insisted on using silver.

The sake of wine is popular and the wealth is fascinating. Compared with Ge Mingjun, who always uses military coupons for shopping, the fifth town, which uses cash and buys at the price, is undoubtedly more popular among merchants. Soon, some merchants spontaneously pulled vegetables, fruits, food and meat to trade in the fifth town.

The drug merchant carriage carried medicines to Taiping Gate to sell them. These excellent red wound medicines were originally listed as banned by Ge Mingjun and could only be provided to Ge Mingjun, but now they have been in the hands of the fifth town.

Some of the surrendered soldiers could even be recognized, and some medicines were transported in boxes in Ge Mingjun's military supplies warehouse. It was known that the military supplies officers were making trouble from it, and they all discussed, "It seems that I did it right this time. If I stay there, I won't have good results."

By the afternoon, the Taipingmen area had become a lively market town, and a large number of merchants came with supplies and exchanged them for silver. More than 2,000 surrendered soldiers all paid three months of military pay, with a generous bag, making the money generous. There were also a group of beautiful women in Pingkang who were wearing heavy makeup, who came in a fragrant car to soothe the tired hearts of these soldiers.

On the contrary, Ge Mingjun's main mansion was lifeless. Not only was there no merchants interested in it, but even the normal military expenditure became a big problem. Once they advanced and retreated, the merchants went to the fifth town to do business, and the coalition forces could not buy much supplies. The foreigners' warships locked in waterways and could not transport supplies from other places, so they really had the potential to sit in a troubled city.

A telegram to Jiangsu Governor Cheng Quande and Wuchang Lihuangpo have been sent out. As for the effect, it is still unclear. The elites of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are in Jiangning. Even if the follow-up troops come, they are not as good as the current troops.

In addition, the arms of Jiangnan and Zhejiang provinces either rely on external purchases or rely on the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau to provide assistance, and their own arms manufacturing capabilities are extremely poor. Now that the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is re-controlled by officers and soldiers, it is naturally unreliable. Albion is hostile to the Ge Ming army and prohibits its own country from trading with the Ge Ming army. At the same time, blocks waterways and strictly investigates arms.

The two provinces can only buy smuggled arms from Fusang at extremely high prices. This is not only expensive, but also extremely limited in quantity. It is a very adverse impact on forming reinforcements. It can be seen that it is difficult to form reinforcements in a short time to rescue the siege in Jiangning.

Hubei's battle with the Beiyang Army was not smooth. The three towns in Wuhan were lost, and only one Wuchang was left. Although Huang Changjie, the first general of Xingzhonghui, was personally commanded by Wuhan, he was defeated and fought repeatedly, which was difficult to go against the overall situation. The Hunan Army's aid to Hubei did not have any impact on the situation. In addition, great changes occurred within Hunan.

The governors of Ge Mingjun, Hunan, Jiao and Chen, are disciples of the Hong family. They are young and have insufficient resources to command the heroes. They are also quite a bit in atrocities in their actions. Since they became governors, each of them has a white belt on them, which says "General Governor" and "Deputy Governor" and is covered with a seal from the Governor's Office.

The brothers in the Hongmen knew that their fellow disciples had become governors, so they came to share the blessings. They set up camps in the governor's office and cooked food. The governor's office opened a pedestal all day long, with people coming and going, and they all asked for resettlement, and returned to their hometown to be the county magistrate and commander. If they were not satisfied, they would yell, saying that the governor was not loyal.

This man had to open four hundred tables of water mats in the Governor's Office every day, and a white belt was hung on his body, and the clerk wrote the official title and put it on it diagonally. Later, more and more people were too busy, so he made some white belts and stamped them and hung them there. Whoever came and the official wanted to write it himself.

The only store selling command knife in Changsha was sold out, and all the people on the street were wearing command knife. Some were wearing military uniforms, some were wearing night clothes, and some were wearing Wu Song's outfits in the opera troupe, all of which were regarded as the dignity of the Han officials.

These people opened incense halls on the streets, scattered at the bottom of the sea, and even gathered gambling during the day, and no one could control them. Another Hunan boss, Tan Renfeng, believed that he was of high prowess in Hongmen and was the master of Wolong Mountain. He wanted to speak out, but he almost ate fried eggs.

The discipline of the new army recruited by Hunan is also very scattered, and the rules of the hall and the middle-aged gang are easier to use than the ranks and ranks of military ranks. Even if the officers cannot command soldiers, it is difficult for the superiors to restrain the subordinates, unless they ask for gang family rules. Even if a new soldier joins the army, he reads books in the military camp every day, and no one can take care of it.

Originally, there was a new army alliance in Hunan. Due to the expansion of the army, there were already several towns in the organization, but no one knows how many actual troops were. Hunan's official treasury has been exhausted by these short commanders.

With such military discipline, the troops who aid Hubei naturally had no way to expect it, and Jiangning could not rely on the rescue. The Ge Ming army in Jiangxi was unable to tolerate each other because Ma Yubao, Jiujiang and Wu Jiezhang, Nanchang, could not tolerate each other, and Ma Yubao drove his troops to drive Wu. Jiangxi was in a war and was unable to take care of him.

Reinforcements cannot be expected, but the current crisis must be resolved. The hope for solving the problem is actually in the Yan and Jin coalition forces. As long as there is a problem in Shandong, Zhao Guanhou will be a result of being unable to advance or retreat. But if he takes Jiangning and sweeps Jiangsu, maybe even if the two of them fall into each other, they may not necessarily collapse.

At present, the one who can support it is better. If peace can be maintained, it seems to be more beneficial to the Ge Ming army. However, the powerful gentry in the local area has already given up on the Ge Ming army, which has actually forced the Ge Ming army to an extremely dangerous situation.

As the ninth town of the young soldiers, for the purpose of protecting the hometown from being poisoned, it has already accepted the conditions and put down its weapons. The situation of the coalition forces has become increasingly difficult.

The military officer came twice, asking the superior for solutions. There was not much military ration left. After dinner, I could only drink porridge tomorrow morning. Jiangning originally had a lot of grain storage, but the defenders from several large granaries turned against each other and transported the grain to the fifth town. Due to the ceasefire agreement, foreigners did not allow the coalition forces to stop it, which made Lin Shuqing a little worried.

He was so upset that he drank half a bottle of wine and ordered the guards to "invite the Chief of Staff, I have to discuss it with him."

The orderly soldier went for about fifteen minutes and suddenly ran back in panic, "Governor, something is wrong, the chief of staff was captured by the Shanghai army, saying that he was a spy..."

On the Qinhuai River, a pleasure boat was walking along the water. Zou Xiurong, Meng Siyuan, Chen Lenghe, Sun Meiyao and Zhao Guanhou sat opposite each other on the boat. On the Qinhuai River, a newly rising beauty, Gu Panying, played the pipa, and helped her liven up in front of the table.

Although Jiangning was connected with military forces, the Ge Ming Party members, whether they were the new army or the Imperial Party, had rules that would not hurt the people in the flower world. The Qinhuai River still had the same scenery. It was just that some Qing Gong people had to be red Gong people and lit big candles with Ge Ming Gong people, and the others had no effect.

Gu Panying has a wide range of knowledge and experience. He has seen many lace-up tea circumferences with women. However, he has never seen tea circumferences with his wives. On the one hand, he admires the men on both sides, who are all independent and not restricted by secular etiquette. On the other hand, he also knows that tonight, there will never be any banishing candles and leaving their hair. He does not show off his own charm, but only concentrates on playing the pipa and singing a piece of pearl tower.

Cheng Yue would not come if she was killed in this situation. When Sun Meiyao was walking in the world, she dressed up as a man and went to the Jiyuan to talk about things or grab meat tickets. She was not surprised. Not only was she not restrained, she joked with Gu Panying and asked, "Do you think I like it or not? If I like it, I will stay on your boat tonight. Come, let me smell your face and I will give you some good things."

Zhao Guanhou slapped her on the head, "Don't mess around, my second brother and sister-in-law are laughing at you."

Sun Meiyao looked at Chen Lenghe, "With this Mrs. Songjiang here, we have nothing to do, so I can't have some fun for myself."

"Don't talk nonsense, everyone treats everyone equally, there is no difference between superiority and inferiority. Don't make trouble."

Zhao Guanhou turned around and raised his glass to Meng Siyuan, "Second brother, I'm laughing. You have had a few more days of jail for Lenghe this time, which really makes me feel a little disgusted. I'll toast you with this glass of wine."

Meng Siyuan smiled bitterly, "I actually didn't suffer any hardships. Everyone is comrades, and he won't do anything to me. But Wuwei's actions this time were really too reckless. After I met Mr. Sun, I would definitely argue with reason and make the truth, let the gentleman uphold justice for us, and not let him do whatever he wants."

Now that Ge Mingjun is facing a big setback, Meng Siyuan is released as a representative of the peace talks and negotiates with Zhao Guanhou. This trip to Qinhuai was the result of Zhao Guanhou's request.

This is also what he made like Chen Lenghe's wish, and now he fulfilled it in this way. It is said that this is still the control range of Ge Ming's forces. If he is willing to harm, or bombard with guns or sends troops to arrest people, it will be a big disaster.

The current situation is just the opposite. Ge Mingjun is worried about something happening, and Zhao Guanhou is the one who is fearless. Not to mention the ubiquitous guard camp, just judging by the situation in the city, once Ge Mingjun breaks the rules and attacks Zhao Guanhou, there will be a crisis of destruction in the next moment.

Albion's fleet was eyeing the Yangtze River, and the officers and soldiers of the fifth town landed in Songjiang had set off from Songjiang and headed straight to Jiangyin. The Jiangyin defenders were originally the defense camps that Ge Ming surrendered later, but now they surrendered again and surrendered to the Beiyang soldiers. The entire Jiangning army was strategically trapped in a siege. There was a shortage of food and grass, and foreign aid was cut off. The powerful local gentry had given up their support for Ge Ming's army and instead colluded with the official army.

In this case, as long as the fifth town finds a statement, they can immediately strike Ge Mingjun with a thunderous attack. The most terrifying thing is that the leader of Ge Mingjun, Dr. Sun Dixiang, has already come from Yankee to Jiangning on a boat and preparing to establish the Gonghezheng Mansion.

If the peace agreement cannot be successfully completed before Sun Dixiang arrives, it means that Sun Dixiang's comrade dug a hole and buried his leader in it. No one can afford this responsibility, and Meng Siyuan's turn from black to red is the reason.
