super god warlord

It turned out that the local officials were too stupid. After receiving Xiliang's instructions, he was afraid that he would be hurt, so he hurriedly transferred the patrol battalion who came to support him to the county government guards, and he didn't even hide it at all.

After hearing that a patrol battalion had been transferred to the county government, Li Shi, the leader of the uprising, knew that something might have leaked.Although the uprising party didn't know that this was just an act of self-protection because of the magistrate's cowardice, they also knew that the Qing court would not sit idly by and believed that the encircling and suppressing officers and soldiers would arrive soon, so they decided to launch an uprising in advance.

Since the uprising was originally scheduled for September, there are still nearly two months before this time, and many supplies are too late to prepare.It was so urgent to decide to revolt, and it was impossible to call all the personnel. As a result, Li Shi only gathered more than 500 people and started a hasty uprising.The rebel army did not dare to attack the county government because they were not prepared enough. Although they had more than 500 people, they only had seventy or eighty guns.

Attacking the full patrol battalion with this little weapon was obviously courting death, so Li Shi immediately ordered the rebels to move.After killing several big households in the city, the rebel army quickly left the city and marched towards Jianzhou, where the Qing army was weak.

Hearing the news that Li Shi revolted in advance, killed several big households in the city and left, the county magistrate turned pale with fright, knowing that he must have caused trouble.To scare the snake out of the grass like this, let the rebel army revolt ahead of time, and even ran out of the city, his own responsibility will be great.Therefore, regardless of his own safety, he immediately took the patrol battalion and chased after him, and at the same time sent a telegram to Xiliang to explain the situation.

The county magistrate is not stupid either. Of course, he would not say that the current situation was caused by his own actions. He only said that the revolutionary party suddenly rose up and the undeployed patrol battalion was caught off guard.After several hours of fierce fighting, the revolutionary party was expelled from the urban area. At this time, the revolutionary party was retreating to Jianzhou, and he was leading the patrol battalion to catch up closely.An eloquent report, all the mistakes were gently erased with spring and autumn brushwork, as if he was trying his best to chase and beat the revolutionaries.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in the officialdom. Xiliang saw the trickiness in it at a glance. The opponent could not even beat a patrol battalion. Naturally, the uprising had not yet been prepared.If it wasn't for the county magistrate to startle the snake, it would be a ghost if they revolted in advance.But the matter had already happened, even if Xiliang got angry, it would be of no avail. He immediately called for Zhao Shouhong and explained the situation.

Zhao Shouhong frowned and thought for a while, "Master Shishuzu, please don't worry, Lianyong should have arrived in the next few days, but now I will immediately take people out of the city to find the army, and then go directly to Jianzhou. We must take down all the enemies .”

"That's all up to you, and I hope my nephew and grandson will take care of themselves. I will first let Chao Habu lead people to entangle the mob to buy you time." Xi Liang nodded.

"The junior should try his best to share the worries of the adults. I will leave the city now." After speaking, Zhao Shouhong lifted his robe and hurried out.

Zhao Shouhong secretly scolded those stupid magistrates for not accomplishing enough but failing. Now that his army has not arrived, if the rebels run away, he can only watch his great achievements turn into big mistakes.Fortunately, Shen Ruoxue had sent the army's marching route map to Zhao Shouhong in advance, which allowed him to find the troops according to the map.

After explaining the route, Zhao Shouhong immediately ordered the two biochemical guards to take two special forces to Jianzhou, telling them to keep an eye on the rebels and never let them run away. Once the rebels changed their route, Just send someone back to report.Zhao Shouhong himself took four other people along the marching route towards Ankang Road, looking for the Yonglian army who was on the way.

Chapter 50 Yuan Kui's Abnormality

After receiving Zhao Shouhong's order, Pan Wenhua did not dare to stay for a moment. He took an infantry battalion and an artillery platoon and set out on the road.Due to the usual training in place, the soldiers have extremely strong endurance, so the marching speed is not slow every day.When Li Shi revolted ahead of schedule, the brigade led by Pan Wenhua had already approached Maozhou, so Zhao Shouhong caught up with Pan Wenhua after only two days of departure.

"Master Daotai, why did you come in person?" Pan Wenhua would not be called Chairman when there are many people, he still called Zhao Shouhong official.

"The situation has changed. We will not go to Jiangyou anymore. The Revolutionary Party has risen ahead of time, and now we are retreating to Jianzhou, and we will immediately advance there." Zhao Shouhong said.The army quickly changed its marching route and rushed towards Jianzhou under the guidance of Zhao Shouhong.

During the journey of the Independence Regiment, Pan Wenhua sat on his horse and lowered his head in contemplation to see if no one was approaching. He rode up to Zhao Shouhong and said in a low voice, "Chairman, I don't understand. Now that we have decided to carry out a revolution." , why should we encircle and suppress the uprising launched by the revolutionary party?"

Zhao Shouhong said: "I said they are a revolutionary party, just to scare the officials above. In fact, they are just local party members, not real revolutionaries at all. What these people think is how to gain benefits, through revolution This kind of uprising can only harm the village and cause damage to the local economy. What's more, Hualan is surrounded by great powers, and Zhongchuan, which is in the interior, is a place where the powers are weak, which just lays the foundation for our industry. Therefore The whole country can be chaotic, but Zhongchuan cannot be chaotic. Only in this way can we try our best to strengthen our strength and prop up the sky of the country after the fall of the Later Jin Dynasty."

"I see." Pan Wenhua nodded, but in fact he still half understood.

Zhao Shouhong smiled and said again: "Wenhua, you still don't understand the revolutionary road we are going to take. Revolution is not just a violent overthrow of autocracy. Now that Hualan has the Houjin court, there is still a central government , and once the central government is gone, Hualan Kingdom will be in danger of falling into warlords. If this happens, the various powers will rush towards our country like wolves smelling blood. Those warlords fighting for their own sake Guarantee, we will definitely sell the country's sovereignty at a low price in exchange for the support of the big powers. At that time, if there is no force that can act as a pinnacle to stabilize the sea, the country will surely perish, and we must try our best to strengthen ourselves. A needle for calming the sea. You have to remember that overthrowing the autocracy is not the end, but only the beginning of the revolution, and the road ahead will be even more bumpy. We must take a long-term view and not be merciful."

"I understand. Listening to the chairman's words is better than reading ten years of books. I just realized today that only the chairman is the one with the most long-term vision among the Hualan revolutionaries." Pan Wenhua said excitedly.

"It is a matter of the country's great fortune, and there must be no recklessness. Once there is any mistake, the entire country may be in a situation of irreparable doom. Therefore, in the future, we may do some things against our will, but for the sake of the country's Long-term interests, this is a last resort. When our business succeeds and the country really recovers, the people and history will understand us." Zhao Shouhong encouraged with a smile.

"I understand that in the future, I will not let go of the chairman's expectations, and fight to the end for the country and the nation, even if I die, I will never regret it." Pan Wenhua said.

Zhao Shouhong nodded, but his thoughts were much more complicated at this time.In the future, I will give more speeches within the party and unify my thinking more, so as not to cause ideological confusion within the party.In addition, he must set his sights on the whole world, at least the whole country at the moment, and slowly carry out a comprehensive layout.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help but think of Sun Wenhai who was living in distress in the Japanese country, and he wondered whether he should give this revolutionary mentor some help.Although Zhao Shouhong does not agree with Sun Wenhai's revolutionary ideas, he admires Sun Wenhai's character of not sacrificing anything for the future of the country and the nation.

While Zhao Shouhong was thinking about how to improve Sun Wenhai's strength to balance the power balance against Yuan Wei in the future, Yuan Wei, who was far away in Beijing, was experiencing a political low tide.When Zhao Shouhong and Pan Wenhua rushed to Jianzhou to quell the rebellion, Yuan Kai was rushing to the constitutional government compilation office.Originally, he was going there a few hours ago to visit the scholars who compiled the constitutional regulations, but he was temporarily called by the empress dowager to have a long talk.

This long talk went on for a long time, and Yuan Wei finally appeared when Xu Haichang and the scholars waited extremely anxiously.Seeing Yuan Kai appear, Xu Haichang was the first to greet him and said, "My lord, what did the Empress Dowager say when she asked you to go?"

Yuan Kai smiled slightly and said, "I've talked about everything, from astronomy to geography. When I get excited about it, I naturally forget the time. That's why this time has come."

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and Xu Haichang said: "It seems that the empress dowager attaches great importance to your lordship. I think the establishment of a constitution is just around the corner. I wonder when your lord will go back to Tianfeng City?"

The corners of Yuan Kai's eyes twitched slightly and he said: "I'll go back tonight, and I'll leave the constitutional compilation here to your brother." Waiting for someone to talk deeply, he put his hands behind his back and left in a hurry, followed closely by his eldest son Yuan Ke.Although Xu Haichang and others felt that Yuan Wei's mood was a bit wrong today, they didn't think deeply about it. At this time, they were immersed in the excitement of the imminent success of the constitution.

Yuan Kai boarded the train to Tianfeng City without saying a word. After getting on the train, he locked himself in a special float, staring out the window without saying a word.After half an hour, Yuan Ke walked in gently and said to Yuan Kai, "Father, it's time for dinner."

"Really? It's already this time?" Yuan Wei came back to his senses. He took two steps in the float, then sat on his chair and sighed: "Forget it, I'm not hungry today. Don't eat dinner."

Seeing Yuan Kai like this, Yuan Ke strengthened his conjecture in his heart. He sat beside Yuan Kai and said in a low voice, "Father, just speak out what's on your mind. Don't always be bored in your heart."

"What do you know? Don't ask nonsense about some things, go eat quickly." Yuan Wei snorted coldly, and then closed his eyes with a smile on his lips.

Yuan Ke didn't get up, he sighed and said: "Father, I understand these things. After decades, how can I still not understand you? I am used to your sullen face, but I am most afraid of you You have a smile on your face, which means that you must have something on your mind. Tell me, can you still not trust me? I think the Empress Dowager must have said something else besides what you said when she recruited you into the palace this time. .”

Chapter 51 The Incompetent Bannerman

Yuan Kai opened his eyes, looked at his son with admiration and nodded, "That's right, the Empress Dowager did ask me something else."

"Father, why don't you tell me?" Yuan Ke asked.

Yuan Kai sighed and said, "The Empress Dowager asked me if I encountered difficulties in the constitutional reform, and I said yes."

"And then?" Yuan Ke asked.

There was a gleam of light in Yuan Kai's eyes: "The Empress Dowager replied to me, you have an army in your hands, and whoever hinders you, you can kill them."

"Hiss." Yuan Ke gasped when he heard the words, "Father, the empress dowager wants to take back your military power." Yuan Kai nodded, but did not speak.

Yuan Kedao: "What does father plan to do? Will the Zhangde Autumn Festival originally scheduled for this year be cancelled?"

"No, this year's autumn parade in Zhangde is imperative." Yuan Kai's tone became firmer: "We have to make a move to make this autumn parade sound and colorful, so as to show our new champion The strength of the whole country. You go and make arrangements, I will go to see Duan Ruiquan after I get off the bus."

"It's father." Yuan Ke saluted, turned and left the float.

Just when Yuan Kai was besieged by the diehards and the empress dowager began to hint that he would hand over the military power, Zhao Shouhong led the independent regiment soldiers and approached Xiaoyanshan in Nanfang County.Due to the lack of weapons and the pursuit of the patrol battalion, the rebel army led by Li Shi had to leave Jianzhou again and moved to this place.

Xiaoyan Mountain is not considered high, only about 200 meters high. At this time, Li Shi was gradually forced to the top of the mountain under the siege of the independent regiment and the patrol battalion.Zhao Shouhong personally led Lian Yong, and together with the patrol battalion and the Eight Banners soldiers surrounded the entire mountain, leaving the rebels nowhere to go.

Zhao Shouhong and Chohabu, who led the patrol battalion and the Eight Banners soldiers, put the headquarters together for unified command.This time, in order to wipe out the rebel army, Xiliang did not dare to underestimate them. They not only sent three patrol battalions, but also a thousand bannermen led by Cho Habu himself.

Seeing the general of the capital of Shu, Zhao Shouhong naturally treated each other with junior etiquette: "Master Chuo Habu has worked hard from afar, and he has worked hard. Now that the rebels have been surrounded and can't escape, your lord has made great contributions this time." .”

"Haha, you will pour me the ecstasy soup as soon as you come here. Master Xiliang said this time, any benefits are yours, and I will not snatch them, so you can rest assured." Chuo Habu said with a smile: "As long as Suppressing the rebellious party and making the Zhongchuan area peaceful, I am satisfied. Besides, I am a general who is doing comfortably now. If I am transferred to the imperial capital after accumulating merits, I am not used to it. So the credit is yours, and I am just helping , it’s just that when your kid is promoted again, you can buy me a drink.”

Chuo Habu belongs to the type without much ambition. He has been an official for a long time, and he is used to living a free life. He keeps a respectful distance from the intriguing officialdom in the imperial capital.Now that he has achieved the highest local official position of the Houjin people, he naturally does not want to be transferred back to Beijing for meritorious service.

Zhao Shouhong understood and expressed his willingness to let the independent regiment launch an attack immediately to wipe out the enemy on Xiaoyan Mountain.Chuo Habu was a little worried: "Come on, take your time. You have just established Yong Yong, so it's hard to say how useful it will be. Besides, although the rebels lack guns and ammunition, they still have three to five hundred people. The people you brought are too many." Let the bannermen and patrol battalions attack first, it will be safer." He is the general of the capital of Shu, and these bannermen and patrol battalions are his subordinates. If you say that the combat effectiveness of these troops is too poor, It was too disrespectful to Chuo Habu, so Zhao Shouhong had no choice but to agree.

After the sound of the drum, the officers of each battalion drew out their sabers one after another, and directed the soldiers of the Qing army with rifles in their hands to attack the mountain.Looking at the scattered formation and the disorderly forward movement, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help shaking his head secretly.Such an army is not much different from farmers, so how can it be possible to win battles.It’s no wonder that the post-Golden court has faced successive defeats against the great powers in recent years, and even the Wa country dared to ride on the head of the Hualan country.

When the Qing soldiers finally climbed to the middle of the mountain, there were sparse gunshots from the mountain. Those soldiers who were already weak, immediately lay down on the ground and fired their guns randomly. No matter how the officers drove them away, they would not move.In desperation, those officers yelled and cursed, while beheading two people in a row, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.Those post-golden soldiers finally attacked the mountain again, but this time, they almost climbed up close to the ground.

There was a loud rumbling noise, and it turned out that the rebel army pushed down the boulder from the top of the mountain.The boulders rolled in all directions with unparalleled momentum, hitting the loose stones along the way and rolling down the mountain together. In an instant, smoke and dust billowed around the entire mountain peak, dust mixed with stones flying around, like a volcanic eruption.

Seeing a boulder rolling down, those post-golden soldiers no longer ignored the officer's scolding, and fled down the mountain screaming.However, other people are not much better. After all, the speed of human legs is limited, so how can they run over the fast rolling boulders.Those soldiers who were unlucky were immediately smashed to pieces, and some of them were hit by the big rock and even died of their brains bursting at that time.

Seeing his subordinates attacking in a disorderly manner and retreating in a panic, Chuo Habu only felt his face burning. He coughed embarrassingly, but he couldn't say a word of excuse.Zhao Shouhong knew Chuo Habu's mood at this time, he hurried forward and said calmly: "The army has been attacking for a long time, and the soldiers must be tired. I think it's better to let my practice bravely fight for two rounds, and let the adults Let your soldiers rest for a day or two and fight again."

"Alright, then let them rest for a while." Chuo Habu had no choice but to climb down the ladder, agreeing to the reason Zhao Shouhong gave him.

After getting the permission to attack, Zhao Shouhong said to Pan Wenhua beside him: "Pan Wenhua, you command the battle yourself, and you must take Xiaoyan Mountain and wipe out the rebels."

"Yes, my lord." Pan Wenhua saluted, then turned and left.
