Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 145: Successfully Captured Nanchang

Chapter 145 Done! Capture Nanchang!

Su Yi said: "General Wei Jun, I'd better make some things clear first."

"The last time Lord Shen Baozhen failed to recruit and surrender, there were two reasons. The first reason was that he misjudged Yang Fuqing's loyalty to the Kingdom of Heaven. The second reason was that you insisted on garrisoning troops in Nanchang and were unwilling to lead the army to leave."

"So, the conditions for my recruitment and surrender this time are still the same. I recommend you to be the general of Ganzhen. I have another choice for the general."

"But this time, I may not want any of your soldiers. Even if I do, I will only need a very small number, which are your most core members. They will never rebel again. No more than a thousand at most."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Jun frowned.

If you don't have an army at hand, what's the point of being a general?

Of course, the most important thing now is not this matter, but asking him to dedicate the city is completely impossible.

Shen Baozhen said from the side: "General Wei Jun, Master Su Yi has never broken his promise. He said that you would be a general. That means you are a real general without troops? Now there are still soldiers in Jiangxi Green Camp, but they have been scattered to many places. After gathering it, it will be under your command."

Wei Jun said: "Master Su Yi, the current situation is that it is impossible for me to offer the city. I don't have the ability."

"My army still listens to me now, that's because I led them to fight the Hunan Army at critical moments. The hatred between the Taiping Army and the Qing Army is too deep. Even if we generals surrender to the Qing court for the sake of our future, the bottom The soldiers are still anti-Qing.”

"Not to mention, Yang Fuqing is now in charge of Nanchang City. Even my own army, as long as I say that I want to surrender the city to the Qing Dynasty, my people will definitely rebel immediately, and I will have my head cut off directly."

"So, it's not necessary to do it, it's really impossible."

Shen Baozhen said: "Master Wei Jun, put aside all this, do you want to surrender?"

Wei Jun was silent.

In his heart, he wanted to surrender. After all, Wei Changhui's death was a huge blow to him.

But the last time he failed to surrender, in the eyes of the Qing court, he was a traitor who pretended to surrender and could no longer be trusted. If he surrendered again, he would probably be liquidated by the court.

Moreover, is Wei Jun really going to have no chance of survival in heaven?

In his heart, Wei Jun still had some expectations.

Shen Baozhen couldn't help but sigh and said: "There are real differences between people. Those who do big things are hesitant and hesitant, which is really disappointing."

Wei Jun said sarcastically: "Lord Shen Baozhen, you are determined."

Su Yi said: "General Wei Jun, you are still hesitating here, but Yang Fuqing is already sharpening his sword to kill you."

Wei Jun said: "Does he dare? In the face of a powerful enemy, does he still dare to create internal strife?"

Su Yi said: "That's what I said, and that's what you heard, but General Wei Jun still disappointed me today."

Wei Jun said: "Master Su Yi speaks lightly. In the same situation, how much better would it be if it were you?"

Shen Baozhen said: "Sir Su Yi, there are three, six or nine levels of people. Some people can understand everything at a glance, while some people are confused and ignorant. There is no need to waste words."

Su Yi said: "Master Wei Jun, listen carefully. What I say next can save your life."

"If you want to surrender the city to me, you still have a chance. You immediately kill Yang Fuqing and become the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army in Nanchang City. At this time, tens of thousands of Hunan troops have already come along the Yangtze River. A few days later, We are about to land in Jianchang County, you are no match for them.”

"So, after killing Yang Fuqing, you used Hong Xiuquan's imperial edict to lead troops back to Tianjing to stabilize the situation. You took all the troops and horses to leave Nanchang, leaving Nanchang as an empty city, and indirectly dedicated the city to me."

"As for this Taiping Army, where do you want to take it? Whether it is really taken back to Tianjing, or whether it is taken to collide with the Hunan Army, that is completely up to you."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Baozhen's heart trembled.

Wei Jun also trembled in his heart.

Su Yi has such a vicious mind.

"Of course, there is another way, which is to completely create internal strife with Yang Fuqing's army. Your two Taiping armies will kill each other and perish together."

"No matter how you do it, as long as you can let us settle in Nanchang City, it will be your credit. I will take care of your official position and future."

Wei Jun trembled: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Master Su Yi, although I, Wei Jun, am frightened and uneasy, and although I have objections to Yang Fuqing, it is not to this extent."

"I will never harm my colleagues for the sake of my own glory and wealth."

"Isn't it the Hunan Army that is attacking? How many people can there be, 20,000, 30,000? You, Su Yi, are in the same bed as the Hunan Army. We have 156,000 in Nanchang City, so we may not be able to defend it."

"Moreover, when the Hunan army attacks, does he want to lose Hubei? Once he cannot attack it for a long time, he will have to withdraw. So we may not be unable to fight this battle, and not long ago, we just wiped out more than 10,000 Hunan troops in Nanchang Army, if we repulse the attack of the Hunan Army this time, we will definitely achieve great success in Tianjing. On the side of the King of Heaven, we have merit but no fault."

"As for those plans you Su Yi mentioned, they are completely unthinkable!"

After that, Wei Jun stood up and left.

Negotiations broke down.

Su Yi said: "Mr. Youdan, the two of us will see off General Wei Jun."

Shen Baozhen said: "Okay!"

Then, the two people got up and saw Wei Jun out personally.

Before going out, Su Yi said: "General Wei Jun, you have not recovered from the gunshot wound, and you often have fevers, and you are at risk of infection. I have a medicine here that can save your life at critical moments."

After saying that, Su Yi handed over a bottle with a little penicillin in it.

Then, he added: "It's dark and the roads are slippery. General Wei Jun is careful when traveling. I am thirsty for talents in the general."

He even reached out to straighten Wei Jun's cloak, looking very intimate.

Wei Jun felt awkward, but Su Yi's move was so sudden that he couldn't refuse for a while.

And this scene!

Please be seen clearly by two people not far away.

These are two of Yang Fuqing's confidants, and they are specially looking through telescopes.

"Do you see clearly?"

"See clearly, damn Wei Jun, he really wants to betray us, he really wants to surrender to Qing Yao."

"Hurry up and report back to the auxiliary king!"

…………………………………………

At this time, in Nanchang City.

Yang Fuqing was drinking wine.

After the great victory in Nanchang, I thought that since Su Yi had few new soldiers in Jiujiang City, his more than 20,000 troops would definitely be able to defeat him.

But they didn't expect that not only were they not defeated, but they suffered over 10,000 casualties.

After a while, a familiar voice came in.

Yang Fuqing immediately stood up and said: "Meet the Prime Minister."

Then, he said bitterly: "This time the attack on Jiujiang was defeated and I lost my troops and generals. I have let down the Prime Minister and the King of Heaven."

Hong Renli said: "Did you know that the 30,000 Hunan Army has moved south along the Yangtze River and entered Poyang Lake, and is about to attack Nanchang City."

Yang Fuqing said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, we have 16,000 people. Even if they have 30,000 people, we can still hold it. The city is alive and the people are there, but the city is dead and the people are dead."

Hong Renli said: "Of these 16,000 people, how many are your people and how many are Wei Jun's people?"

Yang Fuqing said: "I have seven thousand, and Wei Jun has nine thousand."

Hong Renli said: "Last time, Wei Jun was determined to surrender, and later he was completely forced by the situation, so he ordered a rebellion at the critical moment. Now that Nanchang City is in danger, he wants to surrender again, that is The sky is falling and the earth is falling."

Yang Fuqing said: "Prime Minister, don't worry. After the failure of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty last time, even if Wei Jun wants to surrender, his soldiers will not agree."

Hong Renli said: "At this critical moment, you must not have any illusions. The 16,000 people in Nanchang City cannot order two families. They can only obey your orders."

Yang Fuqing said: "Prime Minister, Wei Jun does have ulterior motives, but at the critical moment, we cannot cause internal strife. And after the last lesson, Wei Jun's thoughts of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty should also be extinguished. Please tell me, Prime Minister, and spare him for the time being. Let him take the blame and make meritorious service.”

"We are facing a formidable enemy. Wei Jun and I should unite as one."

On this important matter, Yang Fuqing was always sober and determined.

As for Hong Renli, it’s hard to persuade her because the role she plays needs to be very detached.

So, she glanced at Yang Fuqing and said calmly: "You are the auxiliary king, you are the coach, you have the final say."

Yang Fuqing bowed and said, "Little Wang is scared."

Then, Hong Renli left unhappy.

Yang Fuqing was a little uneasy. Hong Renli was an imperial envoy at this time. She said that asking Yang Fu to eliminate Wei Jun was also for the great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven.

But at this critical moment, there must be no internal strife.

Although this female prime minister is extremely smart, she is a woman after all. Her vision is somewhat biased and her mind is not as big as that of a man.

…………………………………………

More than half an hour later!

Several confidants came to report.

"King Assistant, big things are bad, big things are bad."

"Wei Jun went to have a secret meeting with Qingyao leaders Su Yi and Shen Baozhen."

"We could see clearly in the dark. When we left, the leader of Qingyao, Su Yi, gave Wei Jun a bag of things and tied his cloak for him very affectionately."

"Obviously, Wei Jun has completely sold us."

Yang Fuqing was shocked and said, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Several confidants said: "I have indeed seen it with my own eyes."

Yang Fuqing was furious, Wei Jun, you are so evil.

At this time, you still want to surrender to Qing Yao?

It seems that the Prime Minister did not misjudge the person. Fortunately, I have repeatedly said good things for you and said that we must unite at critical moments.

Yang Fuqing's face was uncertain, and then he ordered: "Here, go and invite General Wei Jun over, and tell him I'll treat him to a drink."

"Wei Jun, I want to see your true face. Are you a human or a ghost?"

……………………

The other end of Nanchang City.

Wei Jun received an invitation from Yang Fuqing.

"Lord Guozong, you must not go. Your injury has not recovered yet, and Yang Fuqing actually invited you to drink. This is completely ulterior."

"He always comes to quarrel with you. This time he must be taking the opportunity to get rid of you."

Wei Jun was silent for a long time, hesitating whether to go or not.

There may be risks if you go.

If you don't go, it will look like you have a ghost in your heart.

Moreover, in the face of a formidable enemy, he and Yang Fuqing had something to say that they really needed to make clear.

So, he decided to go anyway.

Just wear inner armor.

Moreover, we have to take the army with us.

More than half an hour later, Wei Jun led hundreds of elites to Yang Fuqing's temporary residence.

And here, there are already hundreds of elites, all of whom are Yang Fuqing's people, waiting strictly.

From this point on, the grudge and distrust between the two people was revealed.

"Brother Wei Jun."

"Brother Fuqing."

After the two greeted each other politely, they entered together.

The table was filled with chicken, duck, fish and fine wine.

Yang Fuqing poured Wei Jun a glass of wine and himself a glass of wine.

"Brother Wei Jun, you and I had quite a rift before, so the enemy took advantage of us. Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, how about we just be honest with each other?" Yang Fuqing said.

Wei Jun said: "Okay."

Yang Fuqing said: "The king of heaven has given me a secret decree and made me the auxiliary king."

Wei Jun was stunned, and then said bitterly: "Congratulations to Brother Fuqing, this is a well-deserved honor."

Yang Fuqing said: "And originally the King of Heaven also had a purpose for you, saying that he would call you back to Tianjing for another important purpose."

Wei Jun cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much for your grace."

Yang Fuqing said: "Then tell me honestly, do you still want to surrender to Qing Yao now?"

Wei Jun's expression changed and he said, "That's absolutely not the case."

Yang Fuqing asked: "Then where did you go yesterday?"

Wei Jun's expression changed drastically. How could the other party know about this?

After a while, Wei Jun left his seat and said: "Prince Fu, I did go to see Su Yi yesterday. I didn't expect that Shen Baozhen was by Su Yi's side. He actually betrayed the Hunan Army and defected to Su Yi."

"Su Yi tried to persuade me to surrender, but I didn't agree."

"I made it clear that at this time, it is useless even if I want to surrender. The brothers below will never let me go. What's the use of me surrendering alone? Besides, we just wiped out the enemy in Nanchang With more than 10,000 Hunan troops, Tianjing must be happy. Now that the Hunan troops are attacking again, as long as the two of us work together, we can still defend Nanchang. "

"The Hunan Army is marching southward, and Hubei will definitely be empty. Once the war is unfavorable for a long time, they will have no choice but to retreat. Even if King Yi seizes the opportunity at this time, he can lead his army into Hubei and capture Wuchang. By then we will have made great achievements and the Kingdom of Heaven will prosper. Development is just around the corner.”

"Prince Auxiliary, at such a critical moment, the two of us must unite as one and there must be no more discord."

"I, Wei Jun, swear that if you have any intention of surrender at this moment, I will strike with thunder from heaven."

Although you still have doubts in your heart, such as why you went to see Su Yi if you didn't have the heart to surrender, etc.

But at this time, the overall situation is still the most important thing, and Wei Jun is indeed candid and unreserved at this time.

Therefore, Yang Fuqing seemed to be infected and said: "Brother Wei Jun, I feel relieved if you say this."

"You are right. We are facing a formidable enemy. We must unite and there can be no more rifts. Otherwise, we will die without a burial place."

"Brother Wei Jun, don't worry. I will definitely put in a good word for you when it comes to the King of Heaven. You and I just pretended to surrender last time. Not only were we not guilty, but we actually had merit. The King of Heaven will definitely use you again."

"The civil strife in heaven has severely damaged the vitality. The chaos between the East King and the North King must not be repeated in Nanchang."

Wei Jun bowed down and said, "Wei Jun thanked the King for his great kindness. I will never forget it."

Yang Fuqing stepped forward and helped Wei Jun up.

Then, he raised his glass and said, "Brother Wei Jun, you are injured and it is not easy to drink. So with this drink, after drinking, all the past grudges and grudges will be wiped out. From now on, we will be as close as brothers."

Wei Jun hesitated for a moment, then raised his glass and said, "From now on, we are as close as brothers."

Yang Fuqing drank it all in one gulp.

Wei Jun also drank it all in one gulp.

Wei Jun said: "Assistant King, I will take my leave now."

Yang Fuqing said: "I'm sending my brother off."

Then, Yang Fuqing sent Wei Jun out affectionately.

After delivering it to the door, Wei Jun said: "The King of Assistants stays behind. You must not send it off again, otherwise you will offend the official."

Yang Fuqing said: "Brother, it's easy to leave."

Wei Jun said goodbye and left.

Suddenly, he staggered under his feet and felt a cramp in his abdomen.

No, the wine is poisonous!

Yang Fuqing wants to harm me!

He was furious in his heart, "My dear Yang Fuqing, I am so honest with you, but you still want to poison me."

He couldn't help but turn around and look back. Yang Fuqing was still smiling warmly and waving to him.

But how vicious does this warm smile look to Wei Jun at this moment?

I didn't expect that you, Yang Fuqing, would be such a scheming person.

Immediately afterwards, he could no longer bear the cramping pain in his chest and abdomen, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood.

Suddenly, all the confidants around him were shocked.

"Yang Fuqing, you are so vicious. In order to seize my military power, you poisoned me..." Wei Jun shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, a confidant beside him picked up a gun and fired fiercely at Yang Fuqing.

"Bang!"

There was an explosion.

Yang Fuqing was shot in the chest and looked at all this in disbelief.

The people around him couldn't help but be shocked, and suddenly lost their reaction.

After a few seconds, someone shouted loudly: "Wei Jun has rebelled, Wei Jun has rebelled..."

"Kill Wei Jun, kill Wei Jun!"

Immediately, the Taiping troops from Yang Fuqing's mansion came out and killed him crazily.

The confidant generals on Wei Jun's side were also filled with grief and anger, and roared angrily: "You are so vicious that in order to seize Wei Shuai's military power, you actually poisoned Wei Shuai, which is despicable and shameless!"

"Brothers, protect Wei Shuai and kill him..."

Then, the two elite Taiping troops suddenly clashed with each other.

Fighting like crazy.

The people on Wei Jun's side escorted him while retreating.

The other Taiping troops in Nanchang City were shocked when they saw this.

Then... they were all involved.

This civil war is becoming more and more widespread and fierce.

A few hours later!

The whole city of Nanchang was full of fighting.

There was fire everywhere and blood everywhere.

It is like a small version of the Tianjing Incident.

This battle went from dusk to dawn.

The killings left heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers.

The disaster of civil strife is so terrifying.

…………………………………………

It's dawn!

Wei Jun lost, even though he had more troops, but maybe it was because Yang Fuqing was named "auxiliary king", or because Yang Fuqing grasped the great cause of counterinsurgency, etc.

Or maybe Wei Jun's army lacked fighting spirit even more, and many people did not join the fight.

After a whole night of fierce fighting, the troops on both sides suffered numerous casualties.

After several hours of stalemate, Wei Junfang could no longer hold on, and led less than a thousand confidants to flee Nanchang City.

Last night, he almost experienced a nightmare.

After drinking the poisoned wine, his doctor desperately fed him feces in order to induce vomiting.

He vomited almost to the point of drowning, and finally saved his life.

At this time, he had to flee for his life in a hurry.

At this time, Yang Fuqing's situation was not much better. He originally had fewer troops. Although he won this internal strife, there was not much left.

Seeing Wei Jun escape from Nanchang City, he was furious and wanted to catch up with them and kill them all.

Capture Wei Jun and kill him with a thousand cuts.

"Prince Fu, do you want to pursue him? Do you want to hunt him down?" Yang Fuqing's face was weak and his body was scarred.

Fortunately, he wore inner armor yesterday, otherwise this shot would have killed him.

But the fierce battle last night still left him with countless scars.

Yang Fuqing instinctively wanted to shout, chase him out, and kill the traitor Wei Jun to death.

But his remaining sense told him that he could not escape.

Defending Nanchang City is the most critical.

Count people!

Finally, it was reported that there were less than 2,000 Taiping troops in the city.

Suddenly, Yang Fuqing felt sad.

Why is this happening?

Why has it developed to this point?

But, he told himself over and over again.

Two thousand people vowed to live and die together in Nanchang.

Su Yi came to attack the city with only 3,000 men, and 2,000 to defend the city, and some to fight!

As for the tens of thousands of people coming from the Hunan Army, they don't care about so many.

At this time, Yang Fuqing hated Su Yi far more than the Hunan Army.

He would rather fight with Su Yi and die together than give Nanchang City to Su Yi.

Even if it ends up being advantageous to the Hunan Army.

Su Yi, thief, you and I are at odds with each other.

I would rather give this Nanchang city to the Hunan Army than to you.

……………………………………………………

At this time, Wei Jun, leading hundreds of people, ran wildly towards the wind direction of Su Yi's military camp.

Only a few dozen miles later, they encountered Su Yi's army.

He ran alone and rushed to Su Yi.

Then, he immediately rolled off his horse, knelt down and shouted: "Master Su Yi, Wei Jun is willing to surrender, Wei Jun is willing to surrender!"

Shen Baozhen glanced at him lightly and said to himself: "Look ahead and look behind, you are just a second- or third-rate talent."

What's the point of having to wait until the mountains and rivers are exhausted before descending?

But Su Yi dismounted, helped him up and said, "Welcome General Wei."

Unexpectedly, when the situation was over, Su Yi would treat him with courtesy. Wei Jun's heart warmed and he said, "Commander, I will take you to attack Nanchang City."

Su Yi said: "It doesn't have to be like this. Just lead your army to stay where you are and calm the troops and don't cause chaos."

Wei Jun bowed and said: "As ordered."

Then, he led these hundreds of people and stayed in place, still feeling uneasy.

Su Yi, on the other hand, led three thousand people and marched quickly towards Nanchang City, which was dozens of miles away.

at the same time!

Thirty thousand Hunan troops and hundreds of large ships have also arrived in Jianchang County on the west side of Poyang Lake.

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

"Cavalry troops, disembark immediately and land immediately!"

Hu Linyi ordered loudly.

An hour and a half later.

More than two thousand cavalrymen were the first to land.

Hu Linyi said: "Luo Zenan, you immediately lead the cavalry and advance at full speed to Nanchang City and act according to the opportunity."

Luo Zenan shouted: "The last general takes orders!"

Then, he got on his horse, led more than two thousand cavalry, and headed towards Nanchang City at full speed.

The army behind them continued to disembark from the boats and land.

And after each landing and gathering enough 3,000 people, they immediately headed towards Nanchang.

The military situation is like a fire, so we must be quick.

…………………………………………

At this time, Su Yi's three thousand new troops were already approaching the city.

Yang Fuqing was covered in scars and stood on top of the city.

Su Yi stepped forward and said, "General Yang Fuqing, I'll give you two choices."

"First, surrender to me, and I will recommend you to be the general of Ganzhen."

"Second, you lead the army to withdraw from Nanchang, and I will let you return to Tianjing and be loyal to Hong Xiuquan."

"Tianjing is in troubled times at this time. Hong Xiuquan needs the help of a loyal minister like you. He doesn't have to sacrifice his life here in vain."

Yang Fuqing roared: "Dream, daydream."

"Little Su Yi, you only have 3,000 troops to attack the city. I have 2,000 troops defending the city. Do you think you can defeat it?"

"I, Yang Fuqing, swear to live and die together in Nanchang."

"I would rather die with you than surrender."

"I'd rather Nanchang City take advantage of the Hunan Army in the end, but I'd rather fight you to the end!"

As he spoke, Yang Fuqing was filled with soaring hatred.

He himself didn't even know where this hatred came from? It was because when attacking Jiujiang, he, Yang Fuqing, returned in defeat and too many people died.

Or maybe he guessed in his heart that the reason why he had come to this tragic situation today was entirely because of Su Ye.

But no matter what the reason was, he just wanted to tear Su Ye into pieces.

At all costs.

At the same time!

Luo Zenan still led two thousand cavalrymen and was still galloping wildly.

Trying his best.

Getting closer and closer to Nanchang.

Su Ye looked at Yang Fuqing on the top of the city, and the extremely tired and wounded Taiping Army defenders around him.

He waved his hand lightly and ordered lightly: "Attack the city!"

Suddenly, three thousand troops advanced in an orderly manner.

"Bang bang bang..." Fierce firing!

The siege of Nanchang began!
