Chapter Twenty-Five: Qin Yunian's Choice

Chen Jingyun snorted coldly: "Why, just because of the hundreds of brothers who died because of your incompetence!" ”

"You...... I'm not convinced! Peng Shousong is a person who is used to mixing with the party, so he will be convinced, and he is immediately ready to pull out his gun: "I see who dares to take my soldiers!" ”

"Bold, dare to stab an official with a weapon!" Yuan Fang, who was next to him, immediately shouted loudly, and then rushed over to pull out his pistol. Before everyone could react, Yuan Fang had already shot at Peng Shousong.

'Bang', 'Bang' two consecutive gunshots, I saw Peng Shou soften to the ground, and the blood stains flowing from his chest quickly soaked the ground. At this time, the guards also hurried in, and then gathered around Chen Jingyun.

Looking at Chen Kui with an anxious face, Chen Jingyun said, "It's okay!" ”

Chen Jingyun is fine, but Peng Shousong is dead! was shot by Yuan Fang and collapsed, and the development of things was completely unexpected by everyone. The guards quickly confiscated Yuan Fang's guns, and even put away the guns of other officers just in case.

After cleaning up, Chen Jingyun sighed: "They are all revolutionary old men, why are they confused in this stall!" "Yuan Fang, you too, even if he is at fault, you don't need to kill him now!" Alas, don't be the commander of the regiment, but now that the war is critical, you can act as the fifth regiment! , meritorious work and then turn positive. ”

Among the people present, most of them were Chen Jingyun's descendant generals, and at this time, they naturally supported Chen Jingyun to win the second regiment, as soon as Peng Shousong died, several team officers and battalion officers from the party under him were also dismissed together, so naturally they didn't have the right to speak, Xiao Qibin and a few people from the artillery regiment just watched silently and didn't speak, as for Yuan Fang and Li Jimin, they also didn't speak.

"Don't talk about that, everyone, how to fight the thirty-seven bids outside now!" Chen Jingyun knocked on the table after drinking tea.

At this time, everyone recovered from Peng Shousong's death and immediately opened their mouths to make suggestions. During the discussion, Chen Jingyun did not intervene, and let the officers below discuss, mainly because although he inherited Chen Jingyun's memory, he failed to inherit Chen Jingyun's judgment and intuition on military choices. So he handed over all these professional things to career officers.

After some deliberation, the officers quickly came up with a corresponding plan, and instead of overly expensive tactics such as night raids and difficult detours, they adopted textbook standard tactics, with the left and right flanks of each division extending forward to expand the battle line, and then the first regiment was the main force pressing on the front. At the same time, the 18 artillery pieces of the Nationalist Army fired in turn, intermittently bombarding the positions of the 37 targets, disturbing the enemy troops without rest, and waiting for the early morning of the next day, the reorganized Nationalist Army launched an all-out attack by virtue of its huge superiority in strength.

This time, Chen Jingyun arranged all four Makqin machine guns in the rear, not to fight the enemy, but to fight deserters. After killing more than a dozen deserters, both veterans and recruits in the national army understood that Chen Jingyun was determined to defeat Qin Yunian, and a group of middle-level officers were also called by Chen Jingyun to give a lecture before departure, and the content was nothing more than to spur everyone to fight hard, and those who did not fight well would be dismissed on the spot. With this huge pressure, a group of officers are pressing the soldiers forward to attack, although the 37th standard is strong, but after a night of shelling, the morale has decreased a lot, and the national army has gone through 20 minutes of artillery preparation before the large-scale charge, this kind of addition, so that the 37th standard quickly collapsed under the charge of the superior forces of the national army!

"My lord, let's go! The front can't stand it! A team officer shouted at Qin Yunian with an anxious face, but Qin Yunian was unmoved.

"Let's go? Can you go there? Back to Changle? Changle is only dozens of miles away from Fuzhou, and there is no danger to defend, besides, can we still go? Qin Yunian put down the binoculars, from the binoculars he already knew that the front-line troops had collapsed, and he could even see those national troops chasing and killing, this battle had been lost. In fact, he had guessed that there might be such an outcome before he came, but he didn't hesitate at all.

"Master Sun, I have betrayed your trust. Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you! ”

Qin Yunian took out the matching gun on his waist, looking at this gun a little distracted. A few pro-soldiers on the side saw it and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, no! ”

Their words fell, Qin Yunian also pulled the trigger, and after a bang, his whole person fell backwards, and his big eyes were still open......

Qin Yunian died, and the 37th Standard no longer had the courage to fight, and soon raised the white flag on all fronts......

In this battle, the Nationalist Army lost 78 people killed and more than 200 wounded, more than 200 deserters were missing, more than 100 people were killed and hundreds wounded in the 37th Standard, and the rest, including the wounded, all surrendered and were captured. In order to avoid conflicts between soldiers, Chen Jingyun arranged these surrenders to the third regiment that did not participate in the battle. With the addition of nearly 1,000 veterans from the 37th Standard, the 3rd Regiment was able to quickly form a combat effectiveness.

Regarding Qin Yunian's suicide, Chen Jingyun didn't quite understand! Why did he commit suicide for this decaying dynasty?

There are some people and some things that cannot be understood from their own point of view. You think it's not normal, but for some people it's a matter of course.

Back at the headquarters, Lin Wenying, Zheng Zuyin and others hurriedly came up and asked how the war was, Chen Jingyun said: "Qin Yunian's department has been wiped out!" Rest assured! ”

Hearing this clear news, the many people in the headquarters who were waiting to rest were relieved. Later, when they learned that Peng Shousong was killed on the spot last night because he intended to assassinate Chen Jingyun with a weapon, their faces changed drastically. However, Peng Shousong is a member of the party, and he has always been unsociable with Lin Wenying and Zheng Zuyin, so even though they are a little dissatisfied in their hearts, they are all dead when they die, and they can't say anything.

Then he dealt with some civil affairs matters, whether it was in his previous life or in his current life, Chen Jingyun had never been a civil official, and he could be said to be a little confused about government affairs, so since the uprising, he has not taken care of civil affairs affairs, and they have all been handed over to Zheng Zuyin's group to manage.

Zheng Zuyin used to be a member of the Advisory Bureau, and the chief and deputy ministers of the newly established military and political axes were all former parliamentarians, and the famous gentry, except for Lin Wenying, the chief of the military affairs department, who was born in the military, the others were all old gentry, and they were very handy in managing civil affairs.

"The Governor's Mansion has been cleaned up, when are Zihua going to move over!" Zheng Zuyin asked.

The Governor's Mansion is also the Fujian and Zhejiang Governor's Mansion in Songshou, and when the military and political axe was established, it was planned to move the Governor's Mansion to the Governor's Palace, but after being attacked by Lin Wenying's engineering battalion on the night of the uprising, the damage was not small, so it was not moved.

"Now that it's been repaired, it's natural to move over!" Chen Jingyun pondered carefully: "Now that all the ministries have settled down!" ”

Zheng Zuyin said: "It's all good, although the military and political axes are hastily created, but there is no turmoil in all departments, and they are all doing their best!" ”

"That's good!" Chen Jingyun tapped his fingers on the table: "Now that the situation is chaotic, this civil affairs must be as stable as possible, and we must not disturb the people's hearts by seeking change!" ”

"It's natural!"

At this time, Chen Jingyun looked at An Hualin: "By the way, has the finances been straightened out?" ”

An Hualin immediately took out a small account book and said: "After several days of intense cleaning, we have made detailed accounts, and in the past few days, we have collected a total of 2.8 million silver dollars in treasury silver, confiscated floating wealth of 800,000 yuan, and other calligraphy, painting, jade and other property, as well as real estate worth about 4 to 5 million silver dollars. ”

"Real estate and other property should be sold for cash as soon as possible!" Chen Jingyun knew that the current financial situation was tight, and he had spent no less than 150,000 yuan in military spending in the past few days alone, and he only had these two or three million flowers on hand, which would not take long!

There are not many things about civil affairs and finance, so it won't take long to finish. Soon Chen Jingyun drove those people out, and then called the generals to start a military meeting.

"It's all overseed!" With the shouts of the guards, the officers who were originally sitting stood up and looked at the door!

Chen Jingyun, who was still dressed in a military uniform, walked in slowly with long riding boots, and before walking the main seat, Chen Jingyun sat down before he said, "Sit down!" ”

At this time, all the officers sat down again, looking at the group of officers below, Chen Jingyun showed a satisfied smile, there were not many people here, they were all officers above the battalion level, most of them were Chen Jingyun's descendants, such as Feng Qin, Ma Cheng, Lin Chengkun, Zhuang Dafu, Lin Feitai, Chen Weihua, Li Lianyang, and Li Jimin, Xiao Qibin, Yuan Fang. From the people present, it can be seen that the strength of Chen Jingyun's lineage is increasing day by day. Lin Wenying rushed to become a nominal military chief, Peng Shousong was killed, and among the remaining officers of the Alliance, only Xiao Qibin was left.

Chen Jingyun looked around for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Yesterday to the present, the first battle, although it was difficult to fight, but the soldiers of all departments obeyed the order, and finally won it in one go. After defeating the 37th bid, our army was no longer a threat within a radius of 100 miles from Fuzhou. But that doesn't mean we're going to be able to let our guard down! Let's not talk about the Qing army in the surrounding provinces of Fujian, but in this Fujian, there are many other military forces of various sizes! Tell me about the specific situation, Staff Officer Feng! ”

Feng Qin stood up and said, "Yes!" ”

Immediately, he walked to a small blackboard behind him, pointed to a map of Fujian on it, and began to speak: "At present, in addition to us, there are 39 battalions and two battalions stationed in Funing Prefecture in the northeast of Fujian Province; In the northern part of Yanping Province, there are two battalions, the first battalion of the 38th standard and the first battalion of the 40th standard; Shaowu Mansion has the second battalion of forty bids; At present, we have sent telegrams to persuade the new troops in these three places to surrender and sent messengers, but there is no clear news back yet! ”
