If you like to enjoy the view of the river, you will definitely enjoy the most beautiful fireworks by the Huangpu River.He will definitely not expect that the Green Gang will stab the Qingzi Army in the back.None of the more than 2,000 Qinggang disciples waiting for appointment in the warehouse survived, and all of them were buried under mortar fire.Wu Decai scolded Zhou Xiuying with a hideous face in the sea of fire, and was torn into pulp by shrapnel after a while.Maybe in the next life, he will definitely remember, Zi said, "Women and villains are difficult to raise." ”The night in the concession was very quiet, except for the Qingzi army that was constantly stationed, there was no outsider on the street.Stifer looked out the window and suddenly remembered how he had invaded Beijing.That year, the night in Beijing was the same as now, in addition to the British and French troops wantonly looting and burning in the streets, the Qing Dynasty people also took refuge without a trace.On this night, the besieged soldiers of the Board of Directors broke through three times in a row, but each time they did not return.The next day, Qiao Zhiqing's supreme order came from Nanjing, and there was no foreign devil left in the public board of directors.Stifford also ushered in the last moment of his life, and under the cover of a stick of incense, the French-style building of the public board collapsed.None of the more than 200 people who resisted inside survived, and by the time Stifley was identified, he had been blown up by the shells.The only thing that could confirm his identity was the emerald green wrench on his thumb.This wrench once belonged to Emperor Xianfeng of the Great Qing Dynasty, and now it was sent to Qiao Zhiqing by Chen Bingwen.The overall situation in Shanghai has been decided, and when Zhou Xiuying returned to Nanjing, it was already Chinese New Year's Eve.The city of Nanjing is full of lights and fireworks.The citizens can finally live a peaceful year, desperately trying to dispel the haze gathered on their heads.The presidential palace is also very lively, this is the first year that everyone has spent in Nanjing, so Qiao Zhiqing also set up a special banquet to entertain everyone.The banquet lasted until the evening, and even the army commanders on the front line took the time to come back to eat and drink, and they were driven back to the front line by Qiao Zhiqing after sunset.Qiao Zhiqing tossed for a day, and finally found a reason to sneak back.As soon as I arrived at the door of the study, I heard laughter inside, which was very lively."
Zhiqing, you're back."
Su Sanniang hugged Qiao Wujie and Zhou Xiuying and chatted happily, and after Qiao Zhiqing entered the door, the two hurriedly got up and saluted.Zhou Xiuying looked at Qiao Zhiqing's flushed face, and her eyes were dodgy, and she didn't dare to look at Qiao Zhiqing."
What are you two talking about, so happy" Qiao Zhiqing drank a few more glasses, and sat down at the desk a little dizzy."
It's nothing, Xiuying just came back from Suzhou, and I entertained her for you for a while.Let's talk, I'll go over and put Wu Jie to sleep. ”Su Sanniang smiled mysteriously, hugged Qiao Wujie and went out."
Everything in Shanghai is done" Qiao Zhiqing looked at Zhou Xiuying's pretty face and asked with concern."
It's done, the Green Gang has been wiped out."
Zhou Xiuying's expression was obviously much more relaxed than before, when the knife would be destroyed, she had been carrying a heavy hatred on her body.Now that the revenge has been avenged, the mood is naturally happy."
That's good, the matter of the Little Knife Club was also caused by me, and now it is over.After you go back, you have a good rest, the Ministry of Public Security still has a lot of things to deal with. ”Qiao Zhiqing sighed slightly and explained to Zhou Xiuying."
Don't worry, I'll definitely adjust my condition.Also, I executed more than 2,000 people in the Qing Gang at once, you won't blame me, right" Zhou Xiuying nodded with a smile, staring at Qiao Zhiqing with some uneasiness."
What's the use of blaming you, it's already happened.Since the decline of Caoyun, the Green Gang has become a ruffian hooligan.The people have long hated them, and now this catastrophe is also their creation.But in the future, he can't make such a big killing, everyone has a chance to make up for it. ”Qiao Zhiqing looked at Zhou Xiuying and relieved her, and there was nothing she could do about her petty nature."
Got it, you're busy, I'll go back to sleep."
Zhou Xiuying stuck out her tongue at Qiao Zhiqing, gave a playful military salute, turned around and retreated.Qiao Zhiqing shook his head with a smile, lowered his head and picked up the plan for tomorrow's founding ceremony and looked at it.As soon as Shanghai was recovered, the threat of Nanjing in Jiangdong was completely removed, and the rest were ready to begin to pacify Jiangnan.Now among the various forces in the south of the Yangtze River, only Li Hongzhang's Huai Army still has some combat effectiveness, and the rest are not worth mentioning.When Chen Bingwen attacked Shanghai, Zhang Zongyu also fought a big battle with the Qing army of the Huai army in Deqing County.The Qing Army is a regimental training armed force prepared by Wu Changqing, a native of Anhui Province, with more than 20,000 soldiers.It is an elite unit in the Huai Army, and it is known for being good at fighting tough battles.Li Hongzhang deployed Wu Changqing at the gate of Hangzhou City, and its importance can also be imagined.As soon as Zhang Zongyu led three divisions of men and horses into Deqing County, he sent the left division to take a detour to take Renhe Town between Deqing County and Hangzhou.Trenches were dug in Renhe Town, and layers of defenses were deployed, completely breaking the connection between the Qing army and Hangzhou.The Qing army is completely fighting against the water, and its morale is very high.As soon as Zhang Zongyu settled, he sent troops to take the initiative to attack.Zhang Zongyu was a newcomer, and he was really in a hurry for a while.The two sides shelled each other for an hour, and the Qing army poured out more than 10,000 people, all armed with foreign guns, and rushed towards the position of the Qing army.After the strong support of the foreigners, the Huai army has completely removed the cold weapons, and all of them are breech-loading flintlock pistols.Zhang Zongyu couldn't touch the way of the expeditionary rifle at the beginning, and still fought against the Qing army in a dense formation.Although the rate of fire of the expeditionary rifle was several times that of the Qing army, it wounded 800 enemies and suffered 1,000 self-inflicted losses.The two sides fought for their lives, but there were still a lot of casualties.After a round of actual combat, Zhang Zongyu went to the front line in person and gradually understood Qiao Zhiqing's exposition on positional warfare.After the Qing army launched a second attack, Zhang Zongyu ordered the soldiers to dig trenches and arrange defensive positions.Under the cover of trenches, layers of firepower were formed.Sure enough, the situation was reversed in an instant.The half-squatting shooting posture of the Qing army has completely become a live target for the Qing character army.The battle lasted for two days, and more than 10,000 Qing troops suffered as many as 8,000 casualties.The remaining 2,000 people fled into the county seat and never took the initiative again.Wu Changqing had no way to retreat, so he could only hope for the city of Deqing, and secretly prayed in his heart that Li Hongzhang could quickly send troops to support.After Li Hongzhang escaped from Shanghai, he went all the way south to Hangzhou.The news of Zhang Zongyu's attack on Deqing County also quickly reached Li Hongzhang's hands.Deqing County is the gateway to the western line, if it is lost, Zhang Zongyu can go straight to Hangzhou.Li Hongzhang naturally knew the importance of Deqing County, and hurriedly mobilized the Chunzi Army commanded by Zhang Yuchun and the Shuzi Army commanded by Zhang Shusheng, with a total of more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to go to the rescue.The Huai army is menacing, and Zhang Zongyu naturally refuses to slack off.Outside the city of Deqing, only the right division was left to attack, and he led the middle division to the position of Renhe Town.The main battlefield was changed from Deqing County to Renhe Town for a while.There are many hills and mountains in Zhejiang Province, and there is a saying that there are seven mountains, one water and two fields.Renhe Town is a small town surrounded by hills, which is not suitable for the deployment of large-scale corps.Originally, the Huai army's weapons were not superior, and in this rugged and hilly area, it was even more difficult to form a dense gun formation.Zhang Zongyu divided his troops to dig trenches on various key high grounds, and prepared for defense.If the Huai army wants to reinforce Deqing County, there is only this way.The waterway has long been blocked by the navy of the Qing army, and the Huai army just wants to reinforce by waterway, and there are not so many ships to use.After the battle began, to Zhang Zongyu's surprise, the Huai army carried a lot of artillery.As soon as the infantry attacked, the artillery units immediately opened fire in the rear to reinforce them.However, Zhang Zongyu was prepared and immediately ordered mortars and fired back.The mortar artillery was condescending, and the artillery battle between the two sides was less than a stick of incense, and the artillery position of the Huai army was blown into a pot of porridge.You must know that at this time when there were no rubber tires, the old field guns were all made of wood wheels, which was very inconvenient to move, especially on uneven mountain terrain.The infantry who intensively launched the reunion was even more pitiful, and the Qing army had built a complete firepower network at all levels and levels, and there was no hole in the defense.The Huai army not only charged intensively, but also stood up and rushed upward.Under the cover of the trenches, the Qing army could easily fire a single shot, and one person could be hit.And rows of dense bullets of the Huai army flew by, either shooting into the sky or hitting the stones on the side of the trenches.The battle lasted for three days, and the Huai army failed to capture even one high or low, but the casualties increased by thousands.Three days later, Zhang Zongyu let go more and more when he fought, and he became more confident in the weapons in his opponent.Without waiting for the Huai army to attack, he ordered all divisions and regiments to take the initiative to attack the Huai army, aiming directly at the Huai army's headquarters in the rear.The Huai army hurriedly shrank its forces and formed defensive positions one after another.On the plain with a radius of less than 20 kilometers, all the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses were assembled for defense.For a while, the flag was flying and the crowd was crowded.The area under the pressure of the black pressure was full of Huai troops armed with foreign guns, and on the opposite side was the Qing army that had begun to prepare for the impact.After the horn of the shock was sounded, Zhang Zongyu only then put the mortar artillery to use, and began to suppress the Huai army's position intensively.No matter how large the number of Huai troops is, they cannot stand the power of mortar shell explosions.When that shell went down, the people within a radius of ten meters were either blown away by the shock, or their flesh and blood were blurred by the scattered shrapnel.Under the bombardment of mortars, a hole was instantly torn open in the position defended by the Huai army.The left division and the middle division also launched an attack at this time, and quickly interspersed and divided the Huai army in great depth from the breach of the defense, encircling and annihilating it.The Huai army is just a civilian man who has just been recruited, and it has not been three days since he brought foreign guns, so where have he seen this formation.After only one round of counterattack, they all rushed to flee for their lives.Zhang Yuchun and Zhang Shusheng are also battle-hardened people, but they were completely stunned by Zhang Zongyu's new tactics for a while, and hurriedly packed up the remnants of 10,000 soldiers, and all retreated towards Hangzhou
