The Sun Never Sets Great China

Chapter 87 The Great Victory Before Years

The generals of the Qing army saw the death squads of the Chinese Revolutionary Army rushing into the front line, and rushed up along the place where there were few Qing soldiers. Because each of these death squads had four new-style pistols, each with eight bullets, they shot a path of blood for a while. The generals immediately ordered their subordinates to gather their formations, trying to wipe out the death squads of the Chinese Revolutionary Army that broke into the formation.However, the change of the Qing army was not successful. The powerful offensive of the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army made it afraid to move, and the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army took advantage of the chaos of the Qing army just now and rushed forward for more than 30 feet, while the Qing army could not move. Not retreating more than 30 feet toward the embankment, the formation was further chaotic.

Since Zhang Huahan's order to the Death Squad was to occupy the ditch dug on the levee, Wang Wu and the others did not dare to fight. After shooting down the Qing soldiers around them, they rushed forward and stepped across a road full of Manchu soldiers. The corpse quickly approached the embankment after bloody path.

Wang Wu's four pistols had already run out of bullets. He waved the big knife, and as the blade danced, blood and flesh splashed everywhere, and some splashed on his body and face, plus the blood from his own wound, He has already become a blood man, and his remaining 300 subordinates are almost the same as him.In their eyes, the soldiers of the Qing army and themselves were no longer human beings, but flesh and blood killing machines, either killing others by themselves or being killed by others.There is only one goal in their hearts, and that is the embankment!

After hard work, Wang Wu and the others finally reached the embankment.They continued to brandish their broadswords and drove the Qing soldiers off the embankment who were carrying gunpowder barrels on the embankment.Most of these soldiers of the Qing army were newly recruited Han troops, and their fighting power was not strong. Seeing the bloody troops of the Ming army fighting so desperately, they were already petrified. No, let alone launch a counterattack.

Wang Wu immediately ordered his subordinates to draw water from the Yellow River, while he himself brandished a big knife to cut cracks in those powder kegs.When the water came, members of the death squads of the Chinese Revolutionary Army poured water from these cracks to wet the gunpowder inside.

Seeing that the levee was lost, the generals of the Qing army were afraid that Yue Le would blame them, so they had to lead a thousand soldiers to the levee in an attempt to drive the death squads of the Chinese Revolutionary Army off the levee.

Once the general left, the Qing army guarding the levee gradually lost their fighting spirit. Most of the Qing troops guarding the levee were Han musketeers.Seeing the opportunity, Liu Yujie immediately led his subordinates to push forward and shoot. Zhao Qijin and Hou Yongxi also led the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to charge forward, attacking the formation of the Manchu Qing army.

Under the pressure of the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, the Qing army could no longer hold on. Someone in the front army shouted and ran away. Run diagonally above the embankment, preparing to escape to the north bank through the pontoon bridge.This run immediately mobilized the Qing army's rear troops, and the entire Qing army guarding the embankment collapsed.The soldiers of the Qing army pushed each other and trampled on each other, and the Chinese Revolutionary Army's countless quick guns "ba ba" rolled their names. In just a short time, the corpses of Manchu soldiers piled up like mountains on the embankment.When everyone crossed the embankment and got on the pontoon bridge, it was even more crowded, and people kept falling into the water. When the army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army rushed to the embankment, they found thousands of corpses and soldiers of the Manchu Qing army floating on the Yellow River. All the soldiers of the Manchu Qing Army who survived were shot dead by the Chinese Revolutionary Army soldiers on the shore. Only a few musketeers fled, and many Han soldiers of the Manchu Qing Army surrendered one after another.

Not long after the Qing army guarding the embankment collapsed and was almost wiped out, the army led by Yue Le also collapsed.Yue Le had no choice but to lead the chaotic army back to the pontoon bridge, and fought with the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army who had just arrived.Because of Xiaoyue's order from Zhang Huahan to pay attention to the safety of the Yellow River embankment first, both Zhao Qijin and Hou Yongxi led a large force of the regular army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to remove the gunpowder barrels on the embankment, and began to repair the embankment that had slowly leaked out. More than [-] people went to intercept the Manchu Qing army, which weakened the firepower of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and most of the Qing army was the Eight Banners troops, with strong combat effectiveness. In addition, the pontoon bridge was the only way for them to escape, so everyone fought bravely, and unexpectedly retreated It defeated tens of thousands of soldiers who were separated from the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to intercept them.

Seeing that Yue Le had retreated, Zhang Huahan immediately led his troops in pursuit. When he reached the pontoon bridge, he joined forces with the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army and continued to attack the fleeing Qing army.The Chinese Revolutionary Army was eager to wipe out the Qing army by the river, while the Qing army was eager to flee for their lives. Both sides fought desperately. The small pontoon bridge immediately became a Shura hell, with corpses everywhere, and blood everywhere. The blood of soldiers on both sides They gradually gathered together and flowed into the Yellow River along the yellow land, dyeing the river red. Under the afterglow of the sun, the blood-red river water emitted a dark red light, shocking everyone's vision and nerves.

Yue Le quickly ran from the back of the team to the front of the army on horseback, and soon crossed the river under the guard of his own soldiers. He stood on the north bank of the Yellow River, watching the battle on the south bank and the men who were still rushing on the pontoon bridge , involuntarily let out a long sigh, and ordered the soldiers to set fire to the bridge.

Since almost all soldiers of the Manchu Eight Banners have war horses, of course those who don’t have horses will also have horses. Why?Won't they grab it?If you see a Han soldier of the Manchu Qing army riding a horse, you can just grab it and ride it. Dare to resist?kill!Moreover, the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers were the first to get Yue Le's military order to retreat after seeing the disadvantages in Yue Le. In addition, there were only more than [-] of them left. It was more convenient to move with fewer people, so most of them fled to On the north bank of the Yellow River, there were [-] Han soldiers and [-] soldiers from the Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners remaining in the Qing army on the south bank of the Yellow River at this time. When they were fighting desperately, they suddenly saw the pontoon bridge on fire. Thousands of people knelt and surrendered, and then the rest also knelt and surrendered one after another. Only a few strong people threw away their weapons and jumped into the muddy Yellow River in an attempt to They swam to the opposite bank, but the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army kept shooting at them, and there were many eddies in the river. Except for a few fatalities, most of them sank to the bottom of the river.

Seeing that the pontoon bridge was broken, the Chinese Revolutionary Army stopped pursuing them. After the Qing army surrendered, the Chinese Revolutionary Army also retreated to the rural base near Kaifeng City to rest.

So far, the largest encirclement and suppression attack launched by the Qing army against the base of the Chinese Revolutionary Army in the Kaifeng area has failed, and the Chinese Revolutionary Army has won a complete victory.During this campaign, the Chinese Revolutionary Army wiped out and surrendered a total of 11 Qing soldiers, of whom nearly 2 were elite soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Manchurian and Han Dynasties. There were also more than [-] Han soldiers who disappeared after the Manchu Qing army escaped. There were less than [-] Manchu Eight Banners fighters, one thousand men from the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, and four thousand Han remnants of the Green Battalion Army.

The Chinese Revolutionary Army also had more casualties. The militia units of the Chinese Revolutionary Army alone suffered nearly 2 casualties, while the regular army troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army led by Zhao Qijin and Hou Yongxi also suffered more than 1 casualties. The momentum of the main force of the Qing army going south to wipe out the Henan base was curbed. Since then, the Eight Banners army of the Qing army was no longer able to take the initiative to launch a major battle in Henan, and the initiative of the war was gradually transferred to the hands of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.

Since Zhang Huahan had to go back to the Jiangnan headquarters to deal with some things during the Chinese New Year, and two generals Zhao Qijin and Hou Yongxi were stationed here, so Zhang Huahan dealt with some urgent matters after the battle and arranged everything. On the night of the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, I took the airship back to the Jiangnan headquarters.

The speed of the airship was very fast. Zhang Huahan and Xiaoyue returned to the bustling city of Hangzhou just after midnight.

As soon as Zhang Huahan returned to Hangzhou, the first person to look for him was not Huang Ziya, nor Wang Xiaolong, nor the bosses of the merchants he cooperated with, but Zhang Cai, his property manager.

Zhang Cai is 34 years old this year. He is also an old man who was rescued by Zhang Huahan from Taihu Lake. He was born as an orphan because he has no sex, so he has sex with Zhang Huahan.

Zhang Huahan trusts Zhang Cai very much as a property steward. Although there are spies who will spy on him just in case, it is just in case. The reason why Zhang Huahan trusts Zhang Cai is because His personality is different from ordinary people. The world is big and there are all kinds of people. Most people spend other people's money loosely, but their own money is tight. But Zhang Cai is very special. He spends his own money lavishly. I never take it seriously, but I have to try every means to get it back when I spend a penny of other people's money. Sometimes, he often spends recklessly without knowing what the plan is. Since Zhang Huahan asked him to manage the money, he can fight for the merchants who cooperate with Zhang Huahan to pay Zhang Huahan half of the silver, and he will not give up half of the money.And the hundred taels of silver that Zhang Huahan paid him every month did not know where and how it was spent within a few days. He was completely confused about his own money. Zhang Huahan had experienced a lot of people, but he had never seen such a thing. characters.

If Zhang Huahan hadn't found him an honest wife who was good at housekeeping and bought him a house, and the monthly salary of one hundred taels had been directly handed over to his wife. After a month without money, he couldn’t live a normal life, so he went to the cafeteria of the headquarters of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to grab free meals every day in Zhang Huahan’s face!

"Master, this is the general ledger of the income collected from our cooperation with various merchants and our own factories, shops and merchant ships in the past eight months, as well as the shipbuilding expenditures of our three private shipyards and the income from selling ships. Of course, because We need a large number of merchant ships, so we build more but buy less, and the cost of the education city. According to your instructions, all the profits are enough for the cost of the education city and the working capital of various factories, shops, and merchant ships. All foreign debts were directly repaid.”

Zhang Huahan opened it, and roughly scanned it. Zhang Cai's accounts were made according to his requirements in Arabic numerals and simplified characters. He could fully understand it. Ziwen Zheye's traditional characters, he also can't understand, even if he understands, it will hurt his brain.

"Huh! I actually earned 5000 million taels of silver in eight months! This is too exaggerated!" Zhang Huahan saw the final statistics, and he repaid the foreign debt of [-] million taels of silver in just eight months. It will not take ten years for him to pay off the foreign debts of Education City. After all, it is not easy for anyone to bear foreign debts of more than one billion silver. Zhang Huahan naturally hopes to pay off the contract as soon as possible.

"I'm not exaggerating, master, this is because the various factories and mines you have established and cooperated with have just started, and there will be more in the future. Of course, many of them have made money in foreign trade. Every time you go out, you can get back a lot of wealth. As soon as Zhang Cai finished speaking, Zhang Huahan immediately thought that the inflow of a large amount of silver would definitely affect the price of grain, "How much has the price of grain in Hangzhou increased now?"

"It has increased by about one level. It was originally a lot. At the peak, the food price doubled. Later, because of the participation of the government and the help of various big businesses, the food was stabilized back." Zhang Cai said this sentence I glanced at Zhang Huahan at that time, because it was Zhang Huahan who wrote letters to help the government of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to stabilize food prices to various big merchants, so those big merchants fully supported the policies of the government of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. The interests are closely related, and these big merchants must sell his face. Of course, Zhang Huahan also represents the attitude of the Chinese Revolutionary Army government, which is also the reason for their help. These big merchants understand very well that the current Chinese Revolutionary Army government is not as corrupt as before The government of the Chinese Revolutionary Army itself is the biggest capitalist, and it is also a capitalist that protects the interests of the common people, because a large number of people's parties, which believe in serving the people and everyone is equal, are controlling the power of the Chinese Revolutionary Army government. I am afraid that the government of the Chinese Revolutionary Army will not hesitate to stretch out their machetes to search their homes and grain to stabilize food prices. Since these businessmen can make a lot of money, it shows that they are smart people who can distinguish the situation, and they will not do it for a little price difference Those who take the risk of copying their homes for profits are disproportionate to their income and risks.

Zhang Huahan nodded and said: "Huang Ziya deserves credit for his timely implementation of his policies." Zhang Cai rolled his eyes at Zhang Huahan's compliments, and your Huang Ziya is not in front of you, so you pat his horse What's the use, he didn't know, Zhang Huahan never said flattering words in front of Huang Ziya.

"Hmph, what a credit! If he didn't believe it, next year the entire Central Plains would be able to sow super seeds. Now that the seeds are not enough, we can only sow them in Jiangnan first. If we want to spread them throughout the Central Plains, at least we have to wait until the next year." It's gone." Xiaoyue complained with her small mouth pouted.

Regarding Xiaoyue's complaints, Zhang Huahan just smiled. To be honest, if he were to do it, he would probably do the same thing as Huang Ziya, but the area he planted might be larger than Huang Ziya's, because he still didn't dare to do too much. I believe that although Ji has never deceived him, with Ji's powerful ability, there is no need to deceive Zhang Huahan, who is like an ant to her. Thinking of the horror of that woman, Zhang Huahan couldn't help but shudder.

After dawn, Zhang Huahan immediately rushed to work at the headquarters of the Chinese Revolutionary Bureau to help Huang Ziya deal with the backlog of things at the end of the year. Some things are best discussed by the two of them.

They were busy until Haishi in the evening, when Zhang Huahan and Huang Ziya finally finished dealing with the backlog of documents and some important military and political affairs. The two stretched their waists, looked at each other and smiled.

"Are you always busy so late every day?" Zhang Huahan said with a smile. "Yes, but not necessarily, sometimes later than this, sometimes earlier." Huang Ziya also said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, ha ha." Zhang Huahan said as he took out his pocket. Huang Ziya didn't know what he was going to do but said, "What kind of hard work is this? It's nothing compared to your war. I received a military report about you." People are still charging ahead, so pay attention in the future, we have many generals, but you, the treasure of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, only have one, so please take care of yourself.”

"Understood." Zhang Huahan said indifferently.He finally took out a pair of jade locks and a string of rare black pearl necklaces from the cloth bag. The pair of emerald green jade locks could not see any flaws. The black pearls were huge, slightly smaller than quail eggs, but small limited.

"Oh, my pocket is too small, I can't even put my hands in it. It's Chinese New Year. This is a jade lock for your sons and daughters. The black pearl necklace is for my wife." Zhang Huahan stuffed the things into Huang Ziya's hands Said, Huang Ziya is a dedicated person, he only has one regular wife who shares adversity, he never married another wife and took concubines, and he has a pair of children under his knees.

"No, no, this can't be done." Huang Ziya quickly waved his hands when he saw the value of the things. "I'm angry if you want it. I won't visit your house during the Chinese New Year. This is a New Year's gift and must be accepted. What's the relationship between you and me? This thing is a gift from your best friend Zhang Huahan for the New Year's Eve." Don't refuse the gift, the things outside of you are just a piece of mind."

Hearing Zhang Huahan's sincere words, Huang Ziya could only accept it in the end. It is true that a little extraneous possessions are nothing to people who are doing big things like them.

"What do you mean you won't go to my house during the Chinese New Year? Are you going back to Nanjing?" Huang Ziya knew that Zhang Huahan would definitely bring Xiaoyue to his house as long as it was the Chinese New Year, because it is ashamed to say that Zhang Huahan has many businesses in Hangzhou, but even one There is no house at all, Huang Ziya bought him a house, Zhang Huahan sold it in a few days because of the education city, and Zhang Huahan rarely came back to Hangzhou because of the education city. A simple house to live in, so Zhang Huahan did not buy another house in Hangzhou. Since he is not in Hangzhou, there is only the small house in Nanjing that was rebuilt from the original front courtyard of the Qian Mansion. That is Xiaoyue and Zhang Huahan. The most memorable home, the small yard with only a dozen houses may not be worth much, but it is the most precious thing for Zhang Huahan and Xiaoyue.
