Qiao Zhiqing dared to go to the meeting alone, relying not only on courage, but also on his understanding of Chen Bingwen, he was the old department of King Mu, although he was very valued by Li Xiucheng, but since King Mu was unjustly killed, Liu Xiucheng was wary of him everywhere, and this time the defense of Songjiang City gave him only two thousand elites equipped with foreign guns.Chen Bingwen will not be so stupid and loyal as to be sold and pay back to the number of people, if he didn't want to surrender, he would have beheaded Gu Yunfei a long time ago, so why bother to come to this bitter meat scene.Qiao Zhiqing won the bet, and Chen Bingwen's more than 1,000 people were temporarily organized into the second battalion of the pro-soldiers, and they will be rewarded for their military merits in the future.After the Qing army reorganized its troops in Songjiang City for a day, they waved their troops to the Northern Expedition to support the Huai army in besieging Qingpu City.Qingpu City is now embattled, and after Li Mingcheng received the news of the fall of Songjiang City, he was paralyzed and couldn't straighten up, and scolded Chen Bingwen for being ungrateful.Gao Yongkuan gave Wang Anjun, Zhou Wenjia, Wang Wugui and other kings a look, was silent in the military tent for a long time, and retired without saying a word, leaving Li Mingcheng, who was at a loss, to sit alone in the handsome position.Although Li Mingcheng is the commander of Qingpu City, the Taiping Army is not subordinate to each other, and most of the defenders of Qingpu City are Gao Yongkuan's subordinates, even if Gao Yongkuan is presumptuous, Li Mingcheng does not dare to offend him, after all, he has to rely on him to defend Qingpu.The Eight Kings returned to Gao Yongkuan's house, Gao Yongkuan asked his subordinates to close the door, and sat down with the Eight Kings in the guest hall in turn, everyone had sad faces and a melancholy face."
King Na, you quickly give your brothers an idea, where to go is all up to your orders, it will be too late."
King Kang Wang Anjun couldn't help but say what everyone thought in their hearts.Gao Yongkuan did not answer, but looked around at the other kings and asked, "What do you all mean" The kings all bowed with their fists and said, "Everything depends on the arrangement of King Na." ”Gao Yongkuan laughed loudly, "Actually, this king has long known about this situation, didn't King Zhong want us to be cannon fodder when he left us here, the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a matter of time, so this king has long secretly contacted General Gordon of the Changsheng Army, as long as we give up Qingpu City and take Li Mingcheng's head as a meeting gift, Li Hongzhang will give us a way out." ”"What King Na said is extremely true, Li Mingcheng can also sit in the position of a mediocre person, Li Xiucheng is really blind, such a fake public and private."
The kings all nodded flatteringly, and ruined the Li Xiucheng brothers.Gao Yongkuan sneered, "Since the brothers have an idea, let's take action now, this king can ask Li Mingcheng to come over to discuss the military situation, you see my gesture action." ”All the kings nodded in agreement, and a conspiracy was completely launched.Qiao Zhiqing led the army all the way north, and pulled out several strongholds of the Taiping army along the way, until he reached the southern wall of Qingpu City, and handed over the Huai army led by Liu Mingchuan and the Changsheng army led by Gordon.Liu Mingchuan reunited with Qiao Zhiqing, who had not seen him for a few months, and he didn't know how happy he was, and after seeing the equipment of the Qing army, he was even more surprised, and his reaction was exactly the same as when Gordon first arrived in Suzhou, and he couldn't believe that this army was from the Qing Dynasty."
You kid hasn't been developed for many days, why are these people dressed more weirdly than foreign devils."
Liu Mingchuan grinned and excitedly punched Qiao Zhiqing's chest.Qiao Zhiqing also happily hugged his shoulders and praised loudly, "Brother Liu is not bad, I'm afraid that the original inscription battalion will also be expanded into an inscription army." ”The two laughed loudly at each other, and when they entered the military tent, they took out the wine jar and wanted to get drunk.Qiao Zhiqing drank and asked with a smile, "Brother Liu, why have you been besieged here for more than ten days, why have you not seen any movement for a long time, are the defenders of Qingpu City very powerful?"
"What a fart, it's all a nest of cowards," Liu Mingchuan took a big sip, waved his hand, and continued, "The long-haired thieves in Qingpu City have been beaten by the elder brother and shrunk in the city and dare not fight, and they are discussing the surrender with King Gao Yongkuan these days, and there will probably be a result today." ”"That's right."
Qiao Zhiqing took a sip of wine and got up to say goodbye, the Eight Kings Rebellion in Suzhou was about to happen in history, but the protagonist was changed from Tan Shaoguang to Li Mingcheng.After Li Hongzhang surrendered, he would definitely not let go of the Taiping army in the city, and he should go back and make plans as soon as possible.Liu Mingchuan was just about to block it, but news came from the front line at this time that Gao Yongkuan had surrendered the city, and Li Mingcheng's head was also hung on the city gate.After Gao Yongkuan ambushed a heavy army in the house, he invited Li Mingcheng over, Li Mingcheng thought that Gao Yongkuan had come up with some good countermeasures, and only brought a team of soldiers.Gao Yongkuan let him go, and at the sound of an order, more than 100 men armed with foreign guns surrounded Li Mingcheng and the guards.Li Mingcheng scolded Gao Yongkuan, Gao Yongkuan sneered and shouted, "Don't do it yet, but when." ”The soldiers immediately opened fire, and poor Li Mingcheng finally died at the hands of his own people.Liu Mingchuan was overjoyed, and he couldn't care about drinking with Qiao Zhiqing anymore, so he hurriedly went to the front line.Qiao Zhiqing returned to the barracks, and his subordinate generals had already gathered in the military tent and were impatient, as soon as they saw Qiao Zhiqing enter the tent, they asked for war in unison, "Commander, give an order, take Qingpu City, and the bloody blade Gao Yongkuan's gang of dog thieves will avenge King Mu." ”Qiao Zhiqing sat down on the handsome seat and comforted the generals, "Gao Yongkuan has surrendered at the east gate, and Li Mingcheng's head has also been hung on the city gate as a greeting gift." ”"Shameless, what a capricious villain."
Gu Yunfei roared angrily and slammed his fist on the chair."
Brother Yunfei doesn't have to be annoyed, the younger brother and Li Hongzhang have also dealt with it a few times, their Huai army will not accept outsiders, besides, there are more than 20,000 defenders in the city, Li Hongzhang will definitely not accept them and pose a threat to himself."
Chen Bingwen expressed his opinion without hurry.Qiao Zhiqing glanced at him unexpectedly, Chen Bingwen also saw it thoroughly, Li Hongzhang was indeed more ruthless than Zeng Guofan.On the day of the destruction of Suzhou in history, the Taiping army, which killed 200,000 troops, dyed the Suzhou Creek red."
If Li Dashuai really doesn't pay attention to faithfulness, what should we do" Gu Yunfei calmed down and seriously thought about Chen Bingwen's analysis."
Yes, although Qingpu City is all Gao Yongkuan's men, the brothers of the Taiping Army are always innocent, and they can't accompany Gao Yongkuan's dog thief to the funeral."
Lin Quanbao stood behind Gu Yunfei and sighed, many of the Taiping troops in the city were his fellow villagers, although they were now in two camps, they really couldn't bear to do anything with them."
That's it, let's prepare in advance, if things change, let's just like that" Qiao Zhiqing explained a few words to the generals in a low voice, if Li Hongzhang knew his plan, he would definitely scold angrily.After Liu Mingchuan and Gao Yongkuan handed over, Gao Yongkuan and other generals beheaded all Li Mingcheng's descendants, sent Liu Ming more than 1,000 heads, and oozes cold sweat from Liu Mingchuan, who has killed countless people, and hurriedly reported the situation to Li Hongzhang.There was nothing to do all night, and the Taiping army in Qingpu City gathered in one place to wait for Li Hongzhang's surrender, and the guarantor Gordon led the Changsheng army to guard here.Early in the morning of the second day, Li Hongzhang's edict came, with only one word on it, "kill".Liu Mingchuan took a deep breath and invited Gao Yongkuan and other generals to the Huai army camp tent outside the city, saying that Lord Li Hongzhang personally set up a banquet to summon him.Gao Yongkuan drank happily with the kings in the military tent, Li Hongzhang had not seen him for half an hour, Wang Anjun saw that the situation was not good, and whispered a few words in Gao Yongkuan's ear, Gao Yongkuan immediately became alert, and was about to rush out of the camp with the generals, and was about to flee to the city."
Since you're here, why rush to leave."
Liu Mingchuan laughed outside the tent.After Gao Yongkuan and the others rushed out of the camp, they saw that they had been surrounded by the Huai army with loaded guns and ammunition, and all the generals were all frightened and held swords in a circle to defend themselves."
Liu Mazi, if you don't talk about faith and righteousness like this, aren't you afraid of being punished by God" Gao Yongkuan scolded loudly.Liu Mingchuan sneered and shouted, "A villain like you who betrays the Lord and seeks glory is also worthy of mentioning Xinyi to me, Lao Tzu is going to do the right thing for heaven today, put down the weapon in his hand and leave a whole corpse for you." ”"Fuck you, where is Li Hongzhang, I want to meet him."
Gao Yongkuan scolded back."
You are also worthy of seeing Li Dashuai, go and die."
Liu Mingchuan shouted with contempt, didn't give Gao Yongkuan a chance to speak, and waved the command knife in his hand."
Bang, bang, bang" "Li Hongzhang, you lie to me" Gao Yongkuan roared.More than 100 foreign guns let out a terrifying roar at the same time, and bullets rained down like a shower.Kangwang Wang Anjun, Ning Wang Zhou Wenjia, Biwang Wu Guiwen, Heavenly General Zhang Dazhou, Wang Youwei, Fan Qifa, Wang Huaiwu and other generals were all fleshy and were beaten into a sieve.Nawang Gao Yongkuan knelt on the ground with a long sword, glared angrily at Liu Mingchuan in front of him, and did not close his eyes after death.The news was quickly delivered to Qiao Zhiqing's hands, and all the generals gasped, but they didn't expect Li Hongzhang to really be ruthless."
Act as planned.""
Order" Qiao Zhiqing gave the order, and all the generals acted with a solemn face."
Boom, boom."
There was an earth-shattering explosion outside the south gate, and a puff of black smoke sprayed into the sky in the shape of a mushroom, and the Taiping army in the city seemed to have arranged all of them to pour out from the south gate.Liu Mingchuan found something strange in the city, hurriedly led the army to suppress, just returned to the city, things were out of control, the Taiping army gathered together ran without a trace, the guarding Chang Shengjun was temporarily transferred to another place by Gordon, Liu Ming scolded angrily, and led the Huai army straight to the south gate
