Chapter 105
Chapter 105: A husband who is in a strait
"Wang Siliang, this bastard!" Erdan cursed viciously in his heart while enduring the anger of the "instructor" of the governor's yamen.
At this time, the news of Wang Siliang's rebellion came, which immediately scared the imperial envoy of the governor's yamen to his face pale. When he saw Erdan, the real master, arrived, he immediately cursed angrily regardless of his image.
The chaos this time is really big, and he, the "inspector", is responsible for the inadvertent investigation!
Erdan was thinking a lot, thinking about Brother Jin and Wang Siliang's intimate appearance, and was a little worried that Brother Jin would be implicated this time. As for whether Brother Jin and Wang Siliang are in the same group, he didn't care at all. Everyone is a revolutionary party, so is it necessary to distinguish so clearly?
The "author of the imperial envoy" was also confused. After cursing for a while, he actually asked Erdan to take the remaining patrol officers to go to the ordnance to make meritorious service. Erdan was shocked and immediately stopped him. What a joke? A senior traitor just appeared in the Xicheng Branch. Can the governor who was commanding the rebellion on the spot be angry? They ran away so eagerly to find abuse, and it would be strange if they didn't treat them as spies to guard against him. At such a complicated situation, he didn't want to take such risks.
I have to say that after spending half a year in Anqing, the second order has really matured a lot!
On the other side, looking at Xu Lizhen with a gloomy face, Wang Jin laughed secretly and couldn't help feeling a little satisfied. Lao Xu said that there were nearly a thousand people in the uprising, but he thought that if he had gone one hundred people, he would go in vain. The people sent by Feng Xu were so urgent to ask for help, what does this mean? It means that Comrade Xu succeeded!
If he knew that he had been shaken by Lao Xu, how would he feel if he didn't know what he would feel?
After thinking about it, this was the only way. Xu Lizhen, a veteran general born in the Huai Army, reluctantly stood up and shouted angrily at the soldiers of the patrol battalion who were lying all over the ground: "Get up for me!"
Unfortunately, these guys have long lost the bravery of the Huai Army back then, and they can't get up even if they hummed. Xu Lizhen was a little discouraged, and supported her for the last time and sat on the bed, saying sadly: "These guys are hungry and lazy. If they want to rely on them to fight, they will definitely not be able to do so. What should I do?"
Wang Jin rolled his eyes and took the opportunity to offer advice: "There are so many refugees outside who don't have enough food. Let's take out some military rations and recruit soldiers on the spot."
Xu Lizhen was shocked when she heard this. She was afraid of this and said anxiously: "No, no, no. These refugees were encouraged by the revolutionary party. Wouldn't it be a bad thing if they joined the rebels halfway?" This was nice, but in fact, they were putting gold on their faces. What he was afraid of was that the recruited refugees would start attacking on the road while they were unprepared, the situation would not be very good.
What's there to be afraid of?
Wang Jin smiled confidently and made a ruthless plan: "This is not difficult, and refugees are not crazy people who ignore the safety of their families. We only recruit those who have families, and their families are taken care of by my patrol officers. They have no guns and there is no threat at all. The guys in our hands are not fire sticks. Moreover, when they march, they live inside and outside, and they are escorted to their full potential. If they exchange fire with the rebels, they can drive them away in front. Our troops will be able to cover up the rebels behind them and they will definitely defeat the rebels."
Hiss! Xu Lizhen couldn't help but suck in a cold air as soon as she raised her head. No wonder the governor didn't send him, but only sent this guy to calm the refugee riot. It was really cruel!
But this is nothing to do with him. It is enough to be able to complete the orders of the governor. He nodded with joy and couldn't help but stretch out his thumb to praise: "My, wonderful, really wonderful. I am not well now, so I'll ask my brother to recruit my husband as soon as possible. I'll wait until I go back to the city to rescue him." Before he knew it, he actually ignored an extremely important discovery.
Although the local security guards and village chiefs were unwilling to go, they could not say anything under the strict requirements of the Anqing City patrol police and the cold guns of the patrol battalion.
Wang Jin, the recruitment of the servant husband, quickly completed the goal of recruiting one thousand people according to the principle of 1 to 10 households. Of course, the situation was unclear at this time. In order to fear that unnecessary trouble would occur and calm the hearts of the people, Xu Lizhen gritted her teeth and took out a large amount of military rations and oceans in public, first paying everyone a month's salary, and promised everyone that they would give one more month's salary after the matter was finished.
Seeing the refugees happily moving rice, grain and oceans, his heart was bleeding. These were his small treasury, but now they are getting cheaper.
There were more than 500 patrol battalions, and in the end there were only 150 people who followed Xu Lizhen back to the city. In addition, the more than 20 patrol police officers led by Wang Jin, there were only about 180 people, and the number was really not large. But if the number 1,000 soldiers were added, there were more than 100 Hanyang buildings and a small earth cannon in the patrol battalion. It can also be said that the forces had excellent military equipment.
Wang Jin stroked the smooth butt stock of Hanyang made in his hand, and his heart was filled with heat. He asked for this rifle from Xu Lizhen, but unfortunately there was only one. He really wanted to scrape all the Hanyang made in the patrol battalion. Such a sharp weapon would be a waste in the hands of the patrol battalion. What a pity!
Since a thousand soldiers followed, their marching speed was not worthy of compliment. However, this also followed Xu Lizhen and Wang Jin's wishes. One did not want the soldiers who had not yet recovered their troops to go out of the battlefield, and the other wanted to hold on to the team as much as possible without being discovered. He hit it off and colluded with each other.
Otherwise, why would the military supplies of the soldiers of the number one hundred patrol battalion need a thousand civilians?
In Anqing City, with a large amount of arms and supplies in the ordnance, Xu Xilin was full of energy. Regardless of Wang Siliang's efforts to dissuade him, he commanded the "Luofu Army" to rush out of the ordnance courtyard and launch a counter-attack on the Qing army. For a moment, the sound of cannons rumbling and gunfire sounded like fried beans. With his high morale and desperate spirit of not fearing death, the Qing army was defeated and the morale was even stronger.
The governor, who was so angry that he was commanding behind, screamed and killed several defeated soldiers in a row, including one of them. This shocked the soldiers in the patrol battalion and stabilized their decline.
When launching an attack, Chen Boping, who was responsible for keeping the armory, made a suggestion that the Restoration Army could move out a few more fast cannons from the warehouse and bombard the Qing army's defense line, first break up their fronts, and then fight out in one fell swoop, and fight to the central military office of the Qing army as quickly as possible, and will surely defeat the Qing army in person to win a great victory.
Ma Zonghan and Wu Fengfan's eyes lit up when they heard this and they all agreed with this opinion. Wang Siliang hesitated for a while, and the unbearableness flashed across his face, and finally nodded silently to agree to the plan.
