"It's shameful to say that Zhu was trying to expel the Tartars, restore China, and regain the foundation of our ancestors for our Han people. Other things have never been thought about. Fame and fortune are not important to me. As long as we can overthrow the Tartars, what does it matter if we are in the world? But... but Chen Wuwei was really too deceiving! Not only did he kill the second son of Tao for no reason, he also sent someone to assassinate the leader of my Restoration Society. What is the difference between this behavior and the bandits? I understand his idea, that is, he wants to use this method to solve the power of our Restoration Society so that they can dominate the whole family of prosperity."

"Chen Wuwei's approach to fighting with the same family is too domineering. Even our Beiyang Army has never thought about assassinating the people from the Liberation Association. Why do you comrades face each other with your hands and blades?"

As soon as Zhao Guanhou said this, Zhu Duan's face looked even more ugly. "Zhu was not trying to make such a person become king and dominate, nor could he watch his comrades innocently being killed and indifferent. He originally wanted to lead troops to destroy the Shanghai army and eliminate the bad apples for Ge Mingqing. However, after the Ning army joined, our strength did not have the advantage. If we forcefully merged, we would have no chance of winning. We would have injured innocent people. I would rather watch the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties turn into rubble and thousands of creatures suffer again. My heart was already cold. As long as your army promised not to surrender, I would be willing to lead the Zhejiang army and accept the adaptation of the fifth town."

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said, "Brother Zhu, don't worry, we keep our word. As long as we are willing to surrender, there is absolutely no reason to harm. If Brother Zhu doesn't believe it, we can find Consul Albion as the guarantor."

Zhu Duan waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. It's not a group of foreigners to point fingers in the affairs of us Chinese. One of my goals for Ge Ming is to hope that one day, Chinese people don't have to worry about foreign protests. I believe in Gong Bao, but I don't think that Gong Bao will sacrifice his reputation in order to kill thousands of us hungry soldiers."

The Zhejiang soldiers were the guest soldiers, and they brought not much military supplies and even less funds. They held the stamped white paper and could not buy much supplies. Now the Chamber of Commerce refused to cooperate, so the locals could still get some food and drink, such as the guest soldiers, and they were indeed hungry. Especially since the conflict with the Shanghai Army, officers and soldiers were always at risk of life. Most officers and soldiers did not have much opinion on joining the Beiyang soldiers.

However, his subordinates were not completely unified, such as Chief of Staff Lu Gongwang, who had no good feelings for Yuan Weiting and the Beiyang Army. Although he was willing to surrender due to the situation, he refused to fight with the new army in Jiangning City and would not assume the task of helping Dajin maintain order. His request was to give him a severance fee and take the money and leave the troops.

There are hundreds of officers and soldiers with similar ideas. Zhu Duan is an old army and knows that this attitude of recruiting peace is both a taboo and an unreasonable request. Sometimes, even if the other party clearly has no idea of ​​killing and surrendering, he is stimulated by this attitude and something will happen. He is quite ashamed:

"There is really no way. The people below have the ideas of the people below, and everyone has different views on something. I can guarantee that after they are dismissed, they will not come back to become enemies with the fifth town. I can guarantee this for them. As for me, I can be responsible for the stability of my troops and not let them mutiny, but if we fight back to Zhejiang, I will be helpless. The Huanglong Banner I tore off with my own hands was hung with the five-colored Banner, and now I have to hang the Huanglong Banner back. This is absolutely impossible."

Zhao Guanhou thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, don't worry, I won't let you do such a thing. The people in our scene want face, I understand. I will give you 50,000 yuan of severance payments, and as for how you send them to the subordinates, I won't care. In short, it's best for everyone to not be hurt by the harmony. I will send another bid to help you, so as not to cause trouble in the Shanghai army and not let you pull the team away. As for the brothers who surrender, you don't have to go to the battlefield. Those who are willing to go back to Shandong with me, and those who are unwilling to go back, I will send severance payments to let them make their own way to make a living. The only requirement is to leave weapons."

Zhu Duan didn't expect that the conditions were so generous. This was rare in the war between the Great Jin Dynasty and the chaos. He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Gong Bao, we will naturally put down our weapons and retreat to Zhejiang. We are completely disappointed with the Shanghai army and will not help them fight. I think we can sign a contract now, and then your side can send troops to accept it."

Although there have been many rebellions in the past few days, the Zhejiang Army turned against the entire system in terms of sentries or platoons. It was like a beam and pillar being broken, and the building would naturally be shaken. On the side of the Shanghai Army, a battalion was sent to stop the disarming, but Zhu Duan personally brought his own guard in front. When he saw the Shanghai Army, he immediately ordered the gun to raise his gun. Then, the fifth town sent the infantry standard to serve as the guard, and also set up a combat formation and prepared for combat at all times.

The two sides confronted each other for about a minute, and the Shanghai army led the troops could only shake their heads and leave, not daring to continue to stop them. The domino fell down.

The Beiyang Army not only accepted the surrender of the Zhejiang Army, but also accepted the Zhejiang Army's defense zone. Due to the high military pay and fair transactions of the Beiyang Army, the gentry in the city's views on them are far better than the Ge Mingjun, who cannot pay now. They took the initiative to help the Beiyang Army expand the defense zone, and some other Ge Mingjun's defense zones were also recognized by the gentry as the Zhejiang Army's defense zone. In Jiangning City, the Beiyang controlled areas have reached one-third.

As a result, Lin Shuqing, the Zhenjun, also took the initiative to visit the door, hoping to adapt it under the same conditions. His troops were the earliest conflicts with the Shanghai Army. Now that the Zhejiang Army left, it was like breaking the arm of the Zhenjun. With the strength of one army, it would be difficult to defeat the two armies. Chen Wuwei's methods were too ruthless, and Lin Shuqing's own life was in danger.

The conditions for adaptation he proposed were similar to those of the Zhejiang Army, and with his turnaround, the balance of power in the city had undergone tremendous changes. The Xu Shaozhen tribe of the ninth town was originally a soldier and was greatly influenced by the gentry.

When the two armies turned against each other, the gentry moved more frequently, and they went to and from the military camp during the day, lobbying the troops to revolt, or changed their flags into institutions. Although Xu Shaozhen was good at leading troops, the troops could not bear to give up the old commander and left, but they had already stated that they could give up the defense zone and strictly maintain neutrality. If the Beiyang Army resolved Chen Wuwei, they were willing to provide assistance.

The once powerful Soviet-Zhejiang coalition forces collapsed in the blink of an eye, and the various armies surrendered or rebelled, and the Ning and Shanghai coalition forces gradually became isolated. Lin Shuqing and Zhu Duan stayed in the fifth town and did not leave, because there was only one reason: I wanted to see what Chen Wuwei ended up.

In the Governor General of Liangjiang, Chen Wuwei personally poured a cup of tea for Meng Siyuan. "The Bai Xiangren from Songjiang said that he would apologize for pouring tea. We are Comrade Ge Ming, not a fellow gangster of the world, so we would not do this. But I was so arrogant to Brother Meng before. I still want to respect you for this cup of tea, and I hope Brother Meng can forgive my offense."

Meng Siyuan raised the teacup, "Governor Chen, the matter between us is a small problem. Anything that our comrades can be said. The current problem is not my personal gains, losses, honors and disgrace, but related to the overall situation. I am bluntly speaking, your execution of Tao Junbao without authorization has already made Lin Shuqing very dissatisfied, and he has asked someone to assassinate Tao Huanqing again. This is simply unreasonable. If they do commit a death row, the judicial body should be tried and held and a dedicated person will be responsible for the execution. You do this, not..."

"Respect human life, right?" Chen Wuwei was not angry, but smiled a little. "I know, you want to say this. Brother Meng, to be honest, among us comrades, the most I admire is you. The reason is that you have always dared to tell the truth without flattering. In the future, if you want to build a new country, you need people like you. Even if Mr. Sun makes a mistake, you will point it out without hesitation. With someone like you, our common cooperation will have hope."

He lit a cigarette, "Brother Meng, you have negotiated with Zhao Guanhou. Do you think he has room for regress?"

Seeing Meng Siyuan not answering, Chen Wuwei said, "It goes without saying that I know, no. If I were him, I would not give any concessions now. The chips were in his hands. We didn't even have the strength to fight. What can we do except admit defeat? Brother Meng, please think about it. Most of the provinces in the Yangtze River were seized by the power of the Restoration Association. This time, Nanjing was defeated again, where is the face of our Xingzhong Association? Without prestige, how can we sit in this country? I know that you have always praised Ge Ming for success and retreated to the forest.

.I tell you that this idea is not enough. If China wants to make some changes and to be truly prosperous and strong, Ge Ming is just the beginning, not the end. After Ge Ming, everyone will have to build our country under the command of his husband, fight against heaven and fight against the great powers in his life, so that they can make a living for the Han people. Only in the hands of this country can there be hope of success. Whether it is the Restoration Association or others, they do not have the qualifications or ability."

He paused and said, "Tao Junbao is going to fight against us and divide us. The wolf ambitions should have been killed long ago. Tao Chenghan wants to seize the governor of the Shanghai Army, but in fact he wants to compete with us and compete with our Xingzhonghui for the world. If these people are not eliminated, this country has no hope, and in the future it will become a chaotic world of separatist rulers. In today's chaotic world, we only hope for the mighty ruler. The people live in freedom is our signboard, and we must never believe it. A man of one-man is not enough to save the country, and a gentleman is not enough to save the people. This is an unshakable foundation. As long as it is not successful in Xingzhonghui, it is a failure. You all hope to engage in a peaceful uprising, but I want to say that since ancient times, Ge Ming has to bleed and die, without the determination to bury a million corpses and drift the oars, Ge Ming will not succeed."

Meng Siyuan said: "Governor Chen, but look at the situation outside, now we are pushing us to the dead end!"

"No, this is not a dead end. In fact, after Wu Dingzhen's death, I knew that Jiangning could not be defended. Those gentry and businessmen were the most unreliable partners. They would always protect themselves and preserve their wealth. In order to protect their property and lives, they would cooperate with anyone, including the Jin government. We have not yet established a stable foothold and have not had time to clean up these gentry. They have joined forces with the Beiyang Army, and we will definitely fail."

He laughed twice and drank another cup of tea.

"Brother Meng, I can tell you the truth. My original plan was to lure the fifth town to attack Jiangning, and wait for change. When the new army in the north revolts and cut off its way back, the more soldiers he comes, the more deaths he dies, and major events can be settled. Unexpectedly, God does not follow the wishes of others, Wu Shouqing is killed, and my plan is completely lost. Fortunately, we still have you. With your brother Meng's face, Zhao Guanhou will negotiate with us. Finally, according to his conditions, we can still return to Songjiang."

Meng Siyuan said in confusion: "Then there is no need for you to kill Ertao, which will lead to chaos in the two armies."

Chen Wuwei shook his head, "Brother Meng, what's the use of tens of thousands of bare hands returning? Do you think Songjiang's current financial resources can pay the military pay or severance payments for these bare hands? Besides, there are a large number of members of the Resurrection Association here. Their power in the army is not eliminated. How can Mr. Husband be able to dominate? It is already a serious crime for Wuwei to be in charge of major events in Jiangning. If Mr. Husband is facing a situation of arrogant soldiers and siege and seeking wages, Wuwei will have no face to face Mr. Husband. Their surrender is within my calculations, and I deliberately forced them to surrender."
