Appearance:

The gunboat stopped at the dock, and a cadre officer in a royal blue Western-style military uniform and several soldiers in the same Western-style military uniform jumped ashore and walked straight to Zhang Zhidong, apparently already knowing where Zhang Zhidong was going. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Zhidong looked at their straight and mighty Western-style military uniforms, and he knew that this was a new military uniform only available in the Jianrui Battalion of the Beijing Army.

At this time, although Zhang Zhidong's governor had many people in the Fubiao guard, none of them dared to step forward to stop the officers and soldiers in Beijing who were loaded with guns and the cannons on the gunboats outside.

"Zhang Zhidong took the order." The officer looked at the frightened Zhang Zhidong, took out a bright yellow envelope painted with dragon patterns, and said coldly.

When Zhang Zhidong saw the envelope, he knew that this was a "telegram" sent by the imperial court by telegram, although it was different from the official edicts delivered by fast horses in the past, but the status was the same as the edict.

Zhang Zhidong hurriedly knelt down according to the courtesy, and the officer opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and read it aloud.

"In the holy order: Zhang Zhidong is unfavorable to suppress rebellion, delay the military plane, and avoid Xiangfu, and immediately come to Beijing to wait for the place, and admire this."

Hearing that the imperial court had issued a holy decree to remove him from the post of governor of Hunan Province so quickly, Zhang Zhidong's heart couldn't help but sink.

"Please hand over the flag and seal the letter." The officer looked at Zhang Zhidong, who was lost in his soul, and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Zhidong got up with a pale face, opened the wooden box, took out the seal box containing the governor's seal, held it with trembling hands, handed it to the officer, and then used his hand to untie the ivory waist card on his waist, his hand trembled so badly that he couldn't untie the small waist card from his waist for a long time.

Seeing this, the officer sneered, suddenly pulled out his saber, slashed down, and the rope tied to the waist card was broken instantly, and the waist card fell, and before it landed, the officer picked up the waist card with the tip of the knife, threw it upward, and then reached out to catch it, and the action was between the lightning and flint, which can be said to be done in one go.

Seeing Xueliang's long knife, Zhang Zhidong was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.

The officer examined the seal and the waist tag, and then took away the order sign, token and flag that were placed on the desk.

"Official hats and uniforms, please hand them over to the officials after Lord Zhang returns to Beijing." The officer said.

Zhang Zhidong wanted to ask him something, but for some reason, his throat choked and he couldn't make a sound.

The officer glanced at him, turned his head to look at the Fubiao guards gathered outside the door, and said in a deep voice: "According to the order of the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Minister of the Navy Yamen, Lord Lin, all the Fubiao of Hunan Province will be under his command, and the whole bundle will be understood, and there must be no mistake in waiting for the dispatch!" ”

Hearing the officer's words, the captain of the Fubiao guard couldn't help but be stunned.

"This is the silver medal extension order of Lord Lin, the left attendant of the military department, look at it!" The officer shouted sharply and unfurled a white silk in front of the captain of the guard.

"Mark and command!" Unlike Lin Xu's original thought, there might be resistance and resistance, the captain of the guard and his subordinates all obediently accepted the order.

Lin Xu figured it out as soon as he thought about it: most of them were natives of Hunan Province, and they hated the burning and looting of the rebels, and Zhang Zhidong's incompetence made the disaster of war more and more affected, they wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but their duty was to protect Zhang Zhidong, a waste, and they were all full of resentment, and now Lin Yiqing wanted them to listen to the dispatch, they were naturally happy and would not resist.

Don't talk about them, in fact, when Lin Xu heard that it was Lin Yiqing who came to preside over the counterinsurgency, he had the heart to go to serve his subordinates.

After the officer completed his mission, he led the team to leave, and watched them board the gunboat and sail away, Lin Xu also made a plan in his heart: when the arm injury improved slightly, he would go to Lin Yiqing to serve.

When the time came, the position could no longer be held. The general soldier began to lose his temper.

Just after midnight, the commander-in-chief of Hunan Province brought his team to the intersection of these three official roads, one of which led to Changsha Mansion.

The rebels occupied a front about twenty miles long. According to the official orders of the Governor, the rebels must be pinned down until noon, that is to say, until reinforcements arrive.

The general soldier laid out his troops on an undulating terrain. The artillery was camouflaged. However, as soon as it was dawn, the rebels spotted the officers and artillery and bombarded them indiscriminately.

The ranks of the general army were about four miles to the right of the battle line. In a few moments, the shells came in, killing at least six soldiers and two officers.

Transfer again. After another quarter of an hour or so, the positions of the general army were again attacked by the rebels. The general army stubbornly held its position. In half an hour, 22 soldiers were hors de combat, and a cannon was destroyed.

It was exactly nine o'clock.

"Damn it!" The general soldier shouted, "How can they lead us here like this? There must be an article in this, they used witchcraft! ”
