East of Hangzhou, Xiaoshan County near the entrance of the Qiantang River.At this time, in the courtyard of the Xiaoshan garrison, a squire, led more than a dozen men, poured the silver dollars in several silver boxes directly to the ground.In an instant, the silver dollars of Donghai Town with white flowers were scattered all over the ground, and Zhao Datou was piled up like a hill."
Li Shoubei!
These are all gifts from Zhao Dashuai to you!
”The squire said in a deep voice.Xiaoshan guarded Li Yingyuan, and looked at the silver dollars on the ground with some greedy eyes, I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of silver dollars.Li Yingyuan's Adam's apple squirmed, "Zhao Yuanwai, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding about so-and-so!"
”When the squire heard this, he directly took out a stack of Zhuang tickets from his arms, all of which were denominations of one hundred and two tickets, and said with a smile: "The silver dollar is too heavy, it is inconvenient to transport it, here are 10,000 taels of silver tickets, Huaxing Silver saw the ticket and exchanged it, and gave Zhao Shoubei and his brothers tea." ”The squire is a Hangzhou Dajia, and there is a lot of cooperation with Huaxing Company in business, which is a system of interests.Zhao Yingyuan's eyes were straight, and several officers around him were even more dry-mouthed, so anxious that they couldn't do it.Fang Guoan has more than 100,000 soldiers, so naturally he has a relative who is far away, and He Tengjiao can't raise all these more than 100,000 people for Fang Guoan.The goal of the imperial court is to reduce the feudal domain and strengthen the centralization of power, so it will not eliminate a Zhejiang system and raise a Fang Guoan.Therefore, the silver money given by He Tengjiao was only enough for Fang Guo'an to support his descendants, which was only about 30,000, and the treatment of other warlords, big and small, was very miserable.Li Yingyuan's department has not received a tael of silver for half a year, and he stares at the silver dollar, he really needs this money.Not to mention that it is used to pay subordinates, after so many years, you have to get some benefits for yourself.The squire glanced at Li Yingyuan, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Li Shoubei is a smart person.There is one more thing to ask!
”"Please!"
Li Yingyuan came back to his senses and said in a deep voice."
Dare to ask if Li Shoubei can stop Zhao Dashuai?"
The squire asked.Li Yingyuan shook his head again and again, "Zhao Dashuai is famous, how can I be the enemy!"
”"In that case, what else does Li Shoubei have to hesitate about?"
The squire asked.Li Yingyuan glanced at the silver dollar on the ground, and after a moment of silence, he bowed his head and said, "I understand!"
But I'm here for His Royal Highness, admiring Zhao Dashuai's personality and willing to serve Zhao Dashuai. ”The squire smiled, "Understand, Yu knows that Zhao Shoubei is loyal, so he dares to come here to persuade!"
”On the river near Xiaoshan County, the roar of the rising tide resounded on both sides of the Qiantang River.On the fort of a hill, Li Yingyuan led his subordinates to stand, staring at the rolling river, and a large fleet of ships was coming from the sea and rushing into the Qiantang River by the tide.Li Yingyuan and the others, looking at the fleet, winding along the river, and the soldiers of Donghai Town who landed from the boat and marched on the river embankment, did not say a word, and naturally no one fired a cannon to set off smoke to remind the defenders of Hangzhou.Fang Guoan surrendered to the imperial court, and only Fang Guoan got the benefits, as well as his descendants, Zhejiang's miscellaneous armed forces, and life was even worse.Fang Guoan betrayed Zhu Yihai for the sake of He Tengjiao's prince, and all kinds of benefits, and turned his head to support He Tengjiao, warlords and warlords from all over Zhejiang can naturally take Zhao Ming's money.Under the Silver Bullet Offensive, half of the troops outside Hangzhou have secretly defected to Donghai Town.Although Zhao Ming and the Kuomintang have their own political opinions, it is obviously inappropriate to mention these at this time, there is not enough soil, and others may not be able to understand what they say, and it is difficult to call on the public.Therefore, Zhao Ming's strategy this time is to use silver to dismantle the imperial court's encirclement and suppression of Zhejiang with silver, just like the Kai-shek brothers' Central Plains War.The dispute between Tang and Lu, after all, is not a dispute between the Manchus and the Han, it is a contradiction within the Han regime, and it is a struggle between the Zhu family itself.For the feudal towns and warlords, they naturally did not like to strengthen the central government, and preferred that the central government would be weak, so under Zhao Ming's silver bullet offensive, many Zhejiang troops who were coerced by Fang Guoan were shaken again.From the perspective of the Longwu Imperial Court, Zhao Ming and the Zhejiang system are both separatist forces, the cancer of the country, the imperial court wants to cut the feudal domain, strengthen the centralization of power, it must be reasonable, there is a reason for the imperial court, but as a local separatist warlord, there are also their own reasons for maintaining secession, the imperial court is corrupt and incompetent, compromises with foreign enemies, merit is not rewarded, and acts unfairly, it is a reactionary central government, and everyone naturally wants to fight against the reactionary government.Before, Zhejiang's army felt that Zhejiang had no chance of winning, but now the situation is different, Zhao Ming and Zhao Dashuai came, and brought countless silver coins, so everyone naturally had confidence again, so they turned against each other under the silver bullet offensive.At this time, under the gaze of Zhejiang officers and soldiers in Xiaoshan and other places, 20,000 soldiers of Donghai Town advanced by land and water.Zhao Ming, dressed in silver armor, rode a high-headed horse, surrounded by generals behind him, countless moving helmets and snow-bright bayonets, shining in the moonlight.Beside Zhao Ming, Tang Tong, Ruan Mei, Li Benshen, Li Qichen and other generals rode war horses, draped neatly, and slowly moved forward."
How far is it!"
Zhao Ming asked in a deep voice.Ruan Mei replied casually: "Prime Minister, there is Hangzhou in front!"
”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, at this time, the moon was suddenly obscured by dark clouds, and it began to rain in the sky, Zhao Ming raised his head and shouted in a deep voice, "Accelerate forward." ”In the city of Hangzhou, Jinyiwei searched for many days, but failed to arrest Hu Weizong, which made Fang Guoan and Gao Huan furious.This indicates that there must still be a Zhejiang rebel party in the city, harboring Hu Weizong and others, and Gao Huan immediately intensified the search.Jin Yiwei and Fang Bu's soldiers, in the process of searching, naturally did not say anything polite, smashed people's doors, and took away some property, which is an indispensable thing, and even opened the door slowly, and the head of the household was beaten.What happened in the city made the Hangzhou gentry, who had sympathized with Zhu Yihai, begin to be dissatisfied with the imperial court and Fang Guoan.However, at this time, Fang Guoan was not aware of the atmosphere in the city, but was celebrating in the Guogong Mansion.At dusk, Gao Huan told Fang Guoan the good news that after Zhu Yihai was trapped in Xiaolingwei for several months, because of the cut off of food and water, for the lives of thousands of soldiers around him, he walked out of Xiaoling, was controlled by the imperial court, and was sent to the prison to await trial.To tell the truth, after Fang Guoan betrayed Zhu Yihai, he was always uneasy in his heart, afraid that he was on the wrong side, in case Zhu Yihai became the emperor, he would definitely die without a whole body, and he would be connected to the nine clans.Now that he heard that Zhu Yihai had been controlled by the imperial court, Fang Guoan completely relieved himself and summoned his henchmen to celebrate in the mansion.In order to celebrate that he was standing in line correctly, Fang Guoan set up a banquet to entertain his henchmen, and sang and danced all night.At this time, the rain was falling, the sentinels in front of the mansion stood still, and the sound of silk and bamboo came from time to time in the mansion, as well as the laughter of Fang Guoan and others.In the east of Hangzhou, near the Water Gate, a group of soldiers wearing robes and hats came over and announced that they would take over the defense of the Water Gate.The hundred household officials guarding the water gate frowned and asked, "What part are you, do you have a warrant?"
”Zheng Cai, who was wearing mountain pattern armor, stepped forward with a big-eared scraper, and staggered the hundred households, "You don't know Lao Tzu!"
Jinyi Wei service!
”"How do you hit someone!"
Baihu covered his face and asked."
What is it to beat you, believe it or not I slaughtered you!
Jinyiwei also dares to ask more!
”Zheng Cai waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him held spears, resisting Baihu and the soldiers behind him, forcing them to retreat to the corner, and everyone was panicked in their hearts.Jinyiwei's gang all use embroidered spring knives, and they don't use cheap spears that this kind of countrymen use at all, they can't be Jinyiwei, but everyone didn't dare to say anything, first, they were afraid of death, and second, they were all brothers in the Zhejiang army, so there was no need for that.Zheng Cai commanded his subordinates and quickly occupied the water gate, and the soldiers lifted the lantern on a high place, shook it outward, and sent a signal.Outside the water gate, Zhao Ming saw the signal at the head of the city through the drizzle, and immediately waved his hand, "Row in!"
”A series of small boats slowly sailed over, entering the city of Hangzhou from the water gate, the boats leaned on the edge of the inland river, mounted on the boat board, wearing a helmet on their heads, wearing a fire red army uniform, the soldiers of Donghai Town, from the boat, the whole team gathered by the river.Li Benshen stood in front of everyone and shouted in a low voice: "Brothers, there is nothing to say, the success is tonight, do it!"
”The soldiers of Donghai Town, who entered the city, lined up in two verticals, and immediately drove to the East City Gate, the Sansi Yamen, and the Yueguo Mansion, heading towards their respective goals.()
