Chapter 180 Kill Weng Tongshu, Kill Dexing A and Kill Them All

Chapter 180: Kill Weng Tongshu! Kill Dexing! Kill them all

On the other side of Dagukou, they showed a posture of overwhelming defeat.

Tan Tingxiang, the governor of Zhili, fled directly to Tianjin with the Chinese army without looking back.

Then the rest of the army fled with them.

It didn't take long for thousands of people to escape.

The entire battlefield was in a mess.

The entire Dagokou was abandoned.

All the artillery is gone.

When the coalition commander, Uncle He, and the war advisor, Simagoli, stood on the majestic fortifications, overlooking the entire sea.

I still feel a sense of shock and disbelief.

This battle is even more ridiculous than the one in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou had more troops, but they only lasted for half a day before being directly defeated.

As for the battle at Dagukou, the Qing army clearly fought well in the past few days.

The coalition forces are already prepared for a protracted war and have begun to call in reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, it suddenly collapsed.

"Why is this happening?" asked Uncle He.

Simagoli shrugged his shoulders and said, "Only God knows."

"The resilience of the Qing army is simply ridiculously fragile. They have no shortage of instant bravery, but their ability to withstand pressure is pitifully weak." Simagoli said: "Compared to the Crimean battlefield, this is really a battle. What a ridiculous war."

Major General He Bo didn't even have time to sigh and said: "Send a small number of troops to take over the Dagukou fort, and the combined fleet will continue to move forward and attack Tianjin."

Next, after a brief rest, the combined fleet assembled again, passed the estuary, entered the Baihe River, and headed towards Tianjin City.

……………………………………………………

At the same time, the emperor in the palace knew nothing about the fighting at Dagukou.

The whole person is still immersed in the joy of victory.

Because every day that followed, there was good news coming from Dagukou.

Although the results were not as big as the first day, there were victories every day.

It seemed like victory was just around the corner.

Weng Tongshu and Dexing'a had already set off for several days, and they must have arrived in Yangzhou soon.

So, for the emperor, it was two wars.

The first was a war with foreign barbarians.

The second one is the political struggle with Su Yi.

The results of the battle at Dagukou gave the emperor great confidence.

The haze that Su Yi had brought to him before was completely gone.

Why are you, Su Yiao, so proud?

Don’t I understand the subtext of what you said?

According to the court's bottom line, anyone can be sent to negotiate, and they will all succeed.

What does this mean?

Isn't it just an insinuation that I, the emperor, have weak bones? Isn't it an insinuation that I can only compromise?

In this battle with Yang Yi, let alone win, even if it is just a draw.

Then he, as the emperor, can use the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai to solve Su Yi's problem.

Can your factory be run?

what to do?

It's all up to me.

I can give it to you, the governor of Jiangxi, or take it back.

"Your Majesty, the Russian minister asked for an interview, and the American minister asked for an interview, saying he was willing to mediate the conflict between us and the British and foreigners." The eunuch Zenglu's voice came from outside.

The emperor said: "No!"

This is the second time the emperor has refused.

Now, he is waiting for Dexing'a to go to Yangzhou, bring Wang Shiqing's new army and put it into the Tianjin battlefield.

By then, the entire war situation will definitely turn around.

And without this army, Su Yi was like a tiger without teeth.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

……………………………………………………

On the canal!

Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu's fleet sailed south in a mighty manner.

At this time, the banquet was in full swing.

A group of staff are pointing out the country on the map.

"After Lord Dexing'a arrives in Yangzhou, he should first visit Lord Toming'a and dispatch the main force of his Jiangbei camp to form a formal siege of Wang Shiqing's army."

Deputy Commander Dexing'a said: "Toming'a and I are political enemies and we can't urinate in the same place."

Weng Tong wrote: "At this time, at that time, when you and Tominga were competing for the position of coach of Jiangbei Camp, it was normal to have conflicts. But now you have no political conflicts. I know Tominga best, He keeps talking about loyalty, but the most important thing in his heart is his official position and the emperor's holy family. As long as you take out Shang Fang's sword, he will definitely compromise. "

Dexing Adao: "Wang Shiqing is loyal to the emperor, he dare not act like a monster."

Weng Tongshu was silent for a while and said: "My lord, letting the three thousand new troops surround Wang Shiqing in the Jiangbei camp is a sign of the overwhelming power of Mount Tai. And at this time, it is better for someone to prick him than no one to prick him."

The staff member next to him said: "Yes, that's what it is. Dexing'a is an imperial minister, and he carries a Shangfang sword. If no one stabs him, how can he establish his authority and kill people?"

Weng Tong wrote: "If you want to gain military power, the first direct method is to kill chickens to scare monkeys. Didn't Su Yi take advantage of the conflict with Tianjin Green Camp to kill 500 people to establish his authority?"

Of course Dexing'a understood what Weng Tongshu meant.

Let someone from the Yangzhou New Army come out to stab them, kill some to establish their authority, and replace them with their own people.

What's more important is to drag Su Yi into the water and force confessions from these stabbing people. Were they ordered by Su Yi to try to resist the order? Or even attempt mutiny?

Dexing Adao: "The New Army has actually mutinied. What if it turns into a mutiny?"

Weng Tongshu said: "So, from the beginning, we have to run errands with the bottom line that they may mutiny. So we first find Tuoming'a, ease the relationship, and dispatch the main force of the Jiangbei camp to suppress the momentum."

"Then, he immediately summoned Wang Shiqing, read out the emperor's decree, and ordered the new army to load the weapons onto the ship first, not in the name of disarming them, but in the name of mobilizing them for military operations, and not to tell them where they were going."

"After handing over the firearms, we will read out the decree to the entire army, saying that we will go north to Tianjin to fight against the foreign barbarians and suppress them with great justice."

"If they don't react strongly at this time, we can single out all Su Yi's direct descendants in the army, transfer them to idle posts, promote them openly and covertly, and replace them with our own people. It would be best if they don't resist. Once they resist, we will immediately Please use Shang Fang’s sword to kill him.”

"Be calm and decisive. Of course, we must try to avoid mutiny, but we must not be timid because of this. We should cut through the knot with a sharp knife and find all Su Yi's direct descendants in the new army and replace them instantly. Only in this way can peace be achieved."

"Master Dexing'a, without this new army, Su Yi is like a tiger without teeth. I borrowed 5,000 troops from the Jiangnan Camp to use it."

"In political struggle, either you die or I live."

"If you continue to break things, you will suffer chaos."

"For the emperor, it is necessary to distinguish whether Su Yi is loyal or traitorous, but for us, there is no need at all. We have only one goal, to kill him and make him stink!"

Dexing Adao: "Master Weng, don't forget that when he was in the New Army, Su Yi drove Boyan away through mutiny. How do you think he will deal with you this time you go to Jiujiang?"

Weng Tongshu laughed loudly and said: "I have studied this person's fighting methods for a long time, and I have figured it out. He is best at leveraging strength. But I will not give him this chance. I will go with five thousand soldiers and horses. After arriving in Jiujiang, there is only one thing to do.”

"Complain, complain, complain!"

"I will not fight for power with Su Yi, nor will I fight on the surface."

"I just keep telling the emperor secretly, one report every three days, and one report every five days."

"On the surface, I was polite and respectful to him. He wanted to fight me or drive me away, but he couldn't find a reason."

Dexing A was immediately impressed.

Weng Tongshu finally grasped the main thread. The emperor asked him to intervene in the factory's affairs and asked him to fight for power with Su Yi.

But Weng Tongshu would not do this, so he would fall into Su Yi's area of ​​expertise.

He just keeps his eyes open and looks for mistakes in these factories.

Looking for Su Yi’s political mistakes.

It’s best to have dissent. If you don’t have dissent, you have to find 180 dissent.

There was already a rift between Su Yi and the emperor, and it would take at least a few months for the two sides to break up.

In Weng Tongshu's view, cooperation with foreigners should be indispensable for Su Yi to set up a factory.

The problem here is huge.

At this time, the imperial court and foreign barbarians were fighting.

You, Su Yi, are betraying your country by colluding with foreigners.

As the prefect of Jiujiang, Weng Tongshu had more say internally.

He was confident and sure that within a few months, he would be able to completely ruin Su Yi.

At that time, the emperor issued an imperial edict.

Su Yi was dismissed.

It's all over.

I have to say that Weng Tongshu is indeed good at fighting.

If you really follow what he does, you will really succeed.

Because the cooperation between Su Yi and foreigners was deeper than he imagined.

That's a huge political stain at this particular moment.

He would never make the mistake Boyan made.

He would not make the same mistakes Zhaolin made.

Xu Jie was able to overthrow Yan Song at that time, and Weng Tongshu was even more able to overthrow Su Yi.

Dexing Adao: "Do you think Su Yi will jump over the wall in a hurry?"

Weng Tong wrote: "How to jump over the wall? Rebellion? In Yangzhou, let the new army mutiny? In Jiujiang, put me under house arrest?"

"Now that the Qing Dynasty is fighting against the foreign barbarians, if he dares to do this, his reputation will be ruined."

that's all!

The imperial fleet sailed in the canal in an optimistic atmosphere.

Night is falling!

This is no man's land.

Both sides of the canal are deserted.

Suddenly, someone saw someone walking quietly on the shore.

Follow the fleet.

There are them on both sides.

Still holding a torch.

Someone reported this to Weng Tongshu. When Weng Tongshu read it, he was slightly shocked.

Is this the local government coming to flatter you and let people light up both sides of the canal?

There are more and more people on both sides of the canal.

More and more, all lit up with torches.

He stared at the imperial fleet with an indifferent expression.

The whole atmosphere was extremely weird.

Dexing Adao: "Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up..."

But after a moment!

The fleet could no longer move forward.

Because, on the river ahead, there is an iron chain bridge.

Next!

The front suddenly lights up.

Densely packed warships lined up.

The dark muzzle of the gun.

Hundreds of soldiers raised their foreign guns and took aim.

Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu were all horrified and out of their minds.

"Back, back, back..."

Then, the imperial fleet desperately tried to change direction and evacuate backwards!

but……

An iron lock was slowly lifted up.

Two strong men fixed the iron lock on the stone stacks on both sides of the canal in front of them.

then……

A fire lit up behind.

Several warships appeared.

Several cannons opened their gun covers.

Hundreds of soldiers raised their foreign guns.

Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu's minds were completely blank at this moment.

Who... is this?

"Which hero is he? Can you come out and talk?"

"We love making friends the most. What conditions are you willing to offer?"

"30,000 taels of silver, 50,000 taels, 100,000 taels..."

Dexing'a kept raising the price.

Only Weng Tongshu's heart kept sinking.

His limbs began to feel cold.

Because the opponent's momentum was too terrifying.

Very quiet.

But the murderous aura was overwhelming.

"Do it!" A voice sounded faintly in the dark night.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Several cannons fired fiercely.

Aiming at Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu's big ships.

Such a close distance.

It was a completely devastating blow!

A series of violent explosions.

One after another, the canal transport ships were completely torn apart.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Countless rockets and oil tanks hit the imperial envoy's fleet.

The flames shot up to the sky!

It illuminated the entire night sky.

The soldiers on the boats upstream and downstream, and the soldiers on both sides of the shore, kept aiming and firing.

Aiming and firing!

A comprehensive and one-sided massacre.

There were no commands.

No shouting.

Even the ambush side made no sound.

And Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu's side let out waves of ghosts and wolves howling.

Shrill, screaming.

Under this massacre, the imperial envoy's guards were completely useless.

Desperately jumped into the water to escape.

Instantly, the entire canal surface was like boiling dumplings.

They swam desperately upstream and downstream, toward both banks.

But no matter which direction they went, it was a dead end.

It was a dead end.

Upstream and downstream, not to mention the iron chains across the river.

Under the iron chain, there are dense fishing nets, and they are very strong fishing nets, layer upon layer.

People can't get through at all, and it's impossible to cut them with a knife.

You either hide in the water and can't show your head.

Once you show your head, you will be killed.

This is not the sea, this is a canal, and it's the narrowest section, so cramped.

People who swim desperately to the two banks are even more desperate.

The troops on both sides of the shore are lined up neatly.

One appears, one is killed.

Showing your head in the water means death, not showing your head, also death.

Just like this...

Killing, killing.

Not to mention that this is a remote and uninhabited place, even if there are people.

Don't dare to approach.

An hour later!

The river surface was quiet.

Everyone was dead.

There is no way there are survivors. Hiding under the water, they will suffocate to death.

Then, the iron chain was unlocked.

A small boat swam over.

Came to the largest imperial envoy ship and entered the cabin.

Dexing'a was squatting and shivering.

And Weng Tongshu, sitting upright, writing something, seemed very quiet at this time.

Hearing someone coming in, Weng Tongshu said: "Su Ye's people?"

Lin Li said: "Marshal, I want to see you one last time."

Dexing'a collapsed immediately and shouted loudly: "Su Ye? Really Su Ye? He is so brave, this is treason, this is treason."

And Weng Tongshu said: "Can I finish writing this letter?"

When he said this, he still didn't look back and continued to write.

But the next second!

Two soldiers came forward and smashed with the butt of the gun.

They knocked Weng Tongshu to the ground directly, and a big blood bag appeared on his head.

Then, without saying a word, Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu were arrested.

……………………………………………………

A quarter of an hour later!

On Su Ye's flagship.

Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu were escorted in.

"Su Ye, is it really you? Is it really you?"

"You are crazy, you are completely crazy, do you know what you are doing? You dare to rob and kill the imperial envoy, you are treason, treason!"

De Xing'a really couldn't believe his eyes. Is there anyone in the world who does such a thing?

The world of the Qing Dynasty is bright and clear.

A governor of Jiangxi dared to rob and kill the imperial envoy.

Su Ye took a dagger and slowly came to De Xing'a.

De Xing'a began to tremble all over. When Su Ye was three steps away from him, he completely collapsed.

He knelt down directly.

"Lord Su Ye, Brother Su, spare me, spare my dog ​​life!"

"I am willing to be loyal to you, I am willing to surrender to you, spare my dog ​​life."

"Brother Su Ye, I shouldn't go against you, I am worse than pigs and dogs, I am wrong, I am wrong, I am wrong..."

De Xing'a kowtowed desperately.

Su Ye covered his mouth, aimed at his heart, and stabbed it fiercely.

The deputy governor, the imperial envoy, shuddered violently, blood gushed out of his mouth, and he died completely.

Then, Su Ye looked at Weng Tongshu.

"Since ancient times, everyone has to die, so take...ah..."

Before Weng Tongshu finished speaking, he let out a miserable howl.

Su Ye stabbed him in the chest with a knife.

"Sir Weng, it's already this time, don't pretend."

Note: I went out to do some work after sleeping for five hours today. I didn’t come back until after eight in the evening. I didn’t dare to ask for leave in the morning, so this chapter has fewer words.

It’s the last few days of the month. If you have monthly tickets, can you vote for me?
