The prefect Anqing hurried to the governor's office early in the morning and studied Wang Jin's book in front of the governor. But to his disappointment, the governor just responded lightly and did not immediately remove Wang Jin's position as he expected, which made him extremely unhappy.

As soon as he returned to the prefect's yamen, he immediately got the attack of the dock and ships outside the Qingbang city. The prefect was shocked and hurriedly sent his confidant to inquire about it, and sent the yamen runners to find out the real situation outside the city. Not only him, many big men in the city made the same move, including the governor...

When the confidant brought the Jiu Ye's signal to ask for help, he gritted his teeth and put his face aside for a lot of money, and hurried back to the governor's yamen. This time, the governor did not show his face anymore, but seriously discussed with him the dispatch of troops from the patrol battalion. Not long after, Xu Lizhen received the order.

The atmosphere inside Anqing City is strange, but outside the city is very lively.

The foundation of Anqing Qing Gang for hundreds of years is not enough. Without any precaution at the beginning, they did suffer a lot of big losses and suffered extremely heavy losses, which can be said to have been damaged. However, the Qing Gang is still capable of making a living with the Shandong Gang* who is new to the Yangtze River. Moreover, as local snakes, they easily found the supply points of the Shandong Gang along the Yangtze River and gave a thunder blow!

For several days, the killing sounds of the Yangtze River section of Anhui were shocked, and from time to time, the Qing Gang and Shandong Gang ships were strangled together. The bloody and cruel scenes made the passing foreigners shouted that they were barbaric.

In terms of financial strength, the Qing Gang must have an absolute advantage, which is a matter of ease. However, in terms of manpower and blood, the Shandong Gang has an overwhelming advantage. In terms of equipment, the Qing Gang has an advantage. Even if he lost a lot of ships, including steam ships at the beginning, Jiu Ye gritted his teeth and quickly spent a lot of money to buy new steam ships!

The Qing Gang wanted to cut off the smuggling channels of the Shandong Gang through various means, but the Shandong Gang naturally would not agree. This was a matter of life and life. So both sides were angry and red, losing a group of people without blinking. Another group of people continued to fight until one side could not stand it and voluntarily withdrew!

The elite backbones of the two sides slowly consumed each other. In the end, the Anqing Qing Gang could not bear it first and hurriedly used the government's relationship to ask the patrol battalion for help. In fact, the Qing Gang wanted the New Army of Anqing, but the New Army had just recovered its vitality due to the previous liberation uprising. The Governor even had too little time to restrict or even disarmament, so how dare I let the New Army take action?

To be honest, the number of people and bloody people between the Anqing Qing Gang and the Shandong Gang are really not the opponent, even if the firearms on their hands are more sophisticated. Not to mention the physical disadvantages of southerners and northerners, just light is a cost issue, and it is enough for Anqing Qing Gang to have a good drink!

Although people's livelihood is also declining, it is undeniable that the living conditions in Anqing are more than a little bit stronger than the Huaibei area where the Shandong Gang is located. This determines the combat ability and determination of the two Gang disciples, and the Qing Gang is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. The Qing Gang disciples do not have much survival, so how could they all be willing to sacrifice themselves for the interests of Jiu Ye?

The disciples of the Shandong Gang are different. Recently, there have been many famines in Shandong, Henan and Huaibei. It is difficult for them to survive without struggling desperately. There is no other way, except being bandits, they have to wait for death. But not to mention their reputation as bandits, they also live a life of stagnation. For a way to survive for themselves and their families, how can they not fight hard?

Several provinces in Shandong have suffered famines for years, and the Shandong Gangs have been in constant sources. As long as they can afford it, even if they can form a team of 100,000 people in just one month, it is certainly impossible, but 30,000 to 50,000 is still no problem!

To put it bluntly, the fight between gangs depends on a large number of people. Under the continuous impact of the Shandong Gang, how could Anqing stand it? As the saying goes, "Shandong heroes from Hebei, the heroes from Hebei", in the competition of personal strength, the Anqing Qing Gang was completely at a disadvantage.

The dispatch of the patrol battalion still has some effect. The Shandong Gang probably was concerned about the government status represented by the patrol battalion, and did not dare to be as unscrupulous as the disciples of the Qing Gang, and he was slightly restrained. Xu Lizhen had already received Wang Jin's instructions and did not make things difficult for the people of the Shandong Gang when he was in action.

This made Master Jiu, who had paid a lot of money, was so angry that he thought I had paid, you bastards must not work or work!

So, the Jiu Ye, who had lost his ambition, hurriedly mobilized his relationship and influence in the patrol battalion. Putting aside Xu Lizhen, he gave the Shandong Gang a fierce attack and intercepted three smuggling ships in a row. The losses were immeasurable!

Now, I really poked the hornet's nest...

The Shandong Gang suffered such a great loss, but hesitated to come back without hesitation and regret, the army of the patrol battalion's veteran soldiers who were rotten by opium smoke could be the opponent of the Shandong Gang's men who were licking blood on their heads? For a moment, the soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and the entire battalion of officers and soldiers were instantly defeated, with countless casualties.

The unlucky Comrade Xu Lizhen was inexplicably wrapped around the defeated army, and he suffered a big defeat!

When he ran back to the safe area and counted less than 400, he felt a little crying. Nearly a thousand officers and soldiers were defeated by the mob of less than 300 people. Why didn't he feel heartbroken?

Lao Xu is a sensible person. He just saw it very clearly that the Shandong Gang was actually showing mercy. The biggest reason for the loss was that the officers and soldiers were panicked and stepped on each other. Most of the casualties were caused by their own people!

But no matter what, as the boss of the patrol battalion, he suffered a defeat, no matter what subjective reasons such as being deceived, or objective reasons such as bad weather or worse terrain, he will bear the main responsibility for failure.

It would be impossible for him to be not angry with the Shandong Gang at all. Since this situation has come to this situation, he will be a fool and it is impossible to hide it. Without saying that, he asked his aides to write a confession with a good attitude of admitting mistakes and extremely humbleness, and quickly sent it to the governor's office.

The governor's yamen was shocked, and the entire Anqing City was also shocked!

Dare to fight against the imperial army, this is no different from treason! In anger, the governor no longer cared about the possible abnormal movements of the new army, and urgently dispatched the Anqing new army to quell the "Shandong Gang" rebellion...
