After capturing Shanghai City, the captives rested for two days, and then began training again on the third day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Eighth Division of the First Division surrounded Shanghai City every morning, running around the city one by one, and waking up the people who were still sleeping in the entire city from their sleep: it was a new day, and a new life in the holy country began.

And the 10th Division was gone.

It turned out that after the occupation of Shanghi, the 10th Division was divided into two parts. The commander of the 1st Regiment of the 10th Division led two Western warships and more than 30 ordinary warships to garrison Wusongkou and cooperate with Wusongkou Fort.

The 2nd Regiment was stationed at the port of Shanghai and guarded the captured 2 French warships and 3 British warships. In particular, the French warship "Joan of Arc" made Lu Shunde, who was the division commander, itch a lot, and immediately decided to use this fourth-class battleship as a flagship. In addition, the "Joan of Arc" was renamed "Shunde".

Lu Shunde really liked this cruiser too much. Not only is it powered by a steam engine, but the most important thing is that compared with other warships, this warship is like a general in armor and a man in cloth, its side part is covered with a layer of iron armor, and on the front deck, there is a main gun emcourse composed of a 3 cm thick iron box, which can fire from the front and increase the firepower.

Of the three British warships, two of which were captured by the 10th Division of the British fleet commander on his own initiative in accordance with the surrender agreement, were intact. The other was damaged a little by the artillery, but it was leaning against the dock, so that two foreign technicians and a few boatmen could quickly repair it.

There was also a Western warship, but it was originally leased by Wu Jianzhang from the United States, and later Wu Jianzhang was dismissed from his post and investigated, and escorted north to Beijing through Suzhou Fucheng, and this American warship was commanded by Bo Chengsheng, the chief soldier of Langshan Town, and fled to the upper reaches of the Huangpu River.

The officers and men of the 3rd and 4th Regiments operated three Western warships and more than 50 ordinary warships and went upriver along the Huangpu River to pursue the fleeing Qing naval division.

The warship traveled more than 100 miles on the Huangpu River, entered Huating County, and arrived next to Songjiang Fucheng, which had already been easily occupied by the soldiers of the Eighth Division.

Continuing to move forward, finally, at the confluence of the Mao River and the Huangpu River, more than ten miles away from Songjiang Fucheng, the officers and men of the 10th Division discovered the US warship stranded in the course of the Mao River.

This is a fourth-class warship, with a draft of about 14,500 tons, which is already the largest warship that the captivity army has ever seen.

Because of this, in the shallow channel of the Mao River, this extremely heavy tonnage Western warship ran aground in the silt.

Estimating the haste in which the Qing army fled, Bo Chengsheng, the chief soldier of Wolf Mountain Town, just casually ordered people to burn the Western warship to prevent the rebels from getting it. Unexpectedly, the Qing soldiers who lit the fire were in a hurry to escape, and just threw a few torches and drove away. The surface of the wooden plank of the US warship was coated with a layer of black ash to prevent insects and fires, but it was not burned, and it was cheaper to beg the army for nothing.

It took the strength of more than 20 warships to finally tow the stranded warship out and send people back to Shanghai Wharf, while the rest of the soldiers continued to pursue the Qing Naval Division.

Chased until after the Dianshan Lake, has entered the territory of Suzhou Prefecture, when the terrain is low-lying, the rivers and lakes are endless, the soldiers of the capture army to find the villagers to inquire, only to learn that a day ago, the Qing army has been swinging along the lake to the west, into the Taihu Lake, fled far.

The officers and men of the 3rd and 4th regiments were stationed in Dianshan Lake by the way, and sent people to report to the division commander Lu Shunde.

A few days later, a battle order from the General Staff issued by the Holy King came from the city of Fuzhou.

The Holy Kingdom began to fully capture Jiangnan!

Lu Shunde led the 10th Division, taking the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River as the scope of activity, attacking the Qing army's inland river water divisions, harassing the Qing army's logistics supply, especially preventing the Qing army from Zhejiang from going north to support, cutting off reinforcements, and blocking the Qing troops in Zhejiang in the encirclement.

Chen Tianshi led the soldiers of the 8th Division to attack Taicang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, Tongzhou Prefecture and other places along the way, and then the 10th Division cooperated to block all sections of the Yangtze River estuary.

At the same time, Zhejiangqi in the south, according to the strategy of the Holy King, also began to shrink.

Tan Shaoguang led the Ninth Division from the west of the province to Zhejiang, mainly attacking the first line of Quzhou, Jinhua and Hangzhou, and directly attacking the provincial capital of Zhejiang. And Lin Lin Qirong led the 3rd Division B to Quzhou from the territory of Chixi, and attacked the city together with the 9th Division.

The 4th Division B was stationed in Lanxi City, blocking the Qing army in Jinhua from entering Yanzhou Mansion, ready to besiege Jinhua at any time.

The 13th and 14th Brigades, which succeeded the 8th Division and stationed in Wenzhou, Taizhou and other places, stepped up inspections of the two places to strictly prevent the local Manchu gentry from causing rebellion.

……

The attack on Quzhou City by the 9th Division had actually begun a few days earlier. It's just that Tan Shaoguang led the 9th Division to march all the way from Chixi, with artillery behind, and when he arrived outside Quzhou City, he found that the Qing army in Quzhou City had already prepared and closed the city gate.

Tan Shaoguang waited for the artillery to arrive for several days, and kept sending people to shout in unison to the city, shouting for the Qing army to surrender.

"Surrender! The entire Manchu Qing Dynasty was about to perish, and the entire Zhejiang Dynasty was besieged by my 100,000 captive army. ”

"South of the Yangtze River, the Manchu Qing Dynasty only has Zhejiang!"

“……”

On the upper floor of Quzhou City, listening to the shouts of the begging army hiding behind the cowhide planks outside the city to persuade him to surrender, Qiu Changdao twitched fiercely in his heart a few times.

He was a little remorseful!

Originally, he conquered Quzhou unfavorably, lost his troops, and was worried that he would be questioned by the Holy King, coupled with the persuasion of Jiang Yunkang, the prefect of Quzhou, and the persuasion of a group of old brothers, so he surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty with one heart, and killed all the more than 1,000 soldiers of the captive army who were unwilling to surrender.

But after descending to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I found that it was not as promised by Jiang Yunkang, the prefect of Quzhou, at all, and it was not as beautiful as he imagined.

Jin Qu strictly guarded the position of the Taoist platform, and did not give him ----- because of the great merit of Jiang Yunkang, the prefect of Quzhou, the Qing court rewarded Jiang Yunkang----- the prefect of Quzhou, and Jiang Yunkang, the prefect of Quzhou, also served as the position of Jin Qu's strict observance of the Taoist platform.

just gave him the position of a guerrilla general who did not enter the stream, saying that he was from the third grade, which was one level higher than the Daotai of the fourth grade, and there were no extra Qing soldiers for him to command, so he still led his original subordinates, plus this month he recruited more than 1,000 villagers from the city to fight bravely.

But what surprised him was that he originally wanted to surrender to the government with the purpose of making a fortune, but he didn't expect that it would be difficult to send out all the money and the incorruptible silver, and they were all reduced to half, this is still such a rich place as Zhejiang!

He was very dissatisfied, but what could he do? From the moment he betrayed the Holy Kingdom, there was no turning back!

The only thing that made him happy was that Jiang Yunkang gave him two beautiful maids last month, and this month, his subordinates snatched four beautiful women from Quzhou City for him to vent, so he simply didn't want to ignore it, and had a good time first.

So, he got tired of being with women every day and every night, and preached his wife day and night. Until, even Jiang Yunkang couldn't stand it anymore, the Cantonese thieves attacked him, and sent him to the Quzhou city wall to defend, and the Cantonese thieves were not allowed to go down the city wall until they retreated.

In this way, Qiu Daochang still brought the two beautiful maids to the city wall, and occupied the hidden soldier cave in the city tower as a temporary catharsis.

One has to admire his firepower! It may be that he knew that Quzhou City was difficult to hold and that a catastrophe was coming, Qiu Changdao couldn't wait to enjoy the gentle township and squander the only happiness. In fact, the more he was like this, the more uneasy he was in his heart, and he couldn't live in a hurry.

In the past two days, the flags of the begging army outside the city that he was familiar with with the red and yellow five-star banners gradually increased. He knew that the captives outside the city who were preparing to attack the city were gradually gathering in place.

He hurriedly asked his brothers, who had been following him since the Shonan Tiandihui, to prepare and escape at any time. He has been in the captive army for more than two years, so he naturally knows the combat power of the captive army. Quzhou City won't be defended for long.

On this day, the captive army in the west of Quzhou City suddenly moved. Qiu Changdao was equipped with the telescope that was originally equipped in the captive army, and saw in the distance, horses pulling more than ten heavy artillery pieces to approach the city.

"It's broken! Tan Shaoguang, this kid, has not attacked the city for so long and endured for so many days, it turned out that he was waiting for this batch of heavy artillery, and now he is going to attack the city on a large scale! Qiu Daochang said to himself.
