Chapter Fifteen Wu Jianzhang Borrows Foreign Soldiers

Li Xianchi knowingly asked, "I wonder what kind of wealth it is? I'm afraid we can't bear it."

Zhao Laoqi secretly thought, life or death depends on this, "I am the director of the Intelligence Bureau under the throne of the Han Dynasty." Seeing their doubts, Zhao Laoqi explained, "This Intelligence Bureau is just like the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty, specialized in

Spying on intelligence and assassinating enemy generals... Now that the battle of Shanghai has reached its most critical moment, if you take the opportunity to rise up and offer Shanghai to the King of Han, the King of Han will surely be delighted, and everyone will be promoted and make a fortune!"

Several people were in awe when they heard that Zhao Laoqi was the 'Commander of the Jinyi Guards', and they were even more happy when they heard that he could be promoted to an official position and make a fortune. Lin Afu bent down and said flatteringly: "I wonder what official position the King of Han can reward us then?"

Zhao Laoqi breathed a sigh of relief, "The King of Han personally told me that all the leaders can serve as regimental commanders. The regimental commanders can command 3,000 troops and have an official rank of sixth rank. The one with the greatest merit can be a division commander, and the division commander is a fourth rank."

Chen Alin slapped the table and said, "Done it! Damn it! I never dreamed that I could become a sixth-grade official!"

Li Xianchi also hurriedly expressed his position, "Thanks to your highness, I, Li Xianchi, will sell my life to your highness, fight against the Qing Dynasty and destroy foreign countries, and have no regrets in life or death."

Lin Afu patted his belly and said: "I have wanted to defect to the King of Han for a long time, but Brother Liu has been urging me to submit a certificate of surrender. Now is not the right time!"

Qingpu County, night

Zhou Lichun looked at a room full of excited people and shouted, "The government is so oppressive that we really can't survive anymore! As the saying goes: The government forces the people to rebel against the people and they have to rebel. Now the king of Han is holding high the flag of righteousness, and the world has heard the news and responded! Exactly.

When a good man makes great achievements and honors his ancestors! We will kill the dog magistrate and defect to the King of Han!"

Zhou Xiuying looked at her incoherent father, shook her head helplessly, walked out and shouted: "We want to get back the food and the money!"

Everyone was in high spirits and shouted together: "Grab food, rob money, rob food, rob money..."

Zhou Lichun glanced at his daughter approvingly and said, "Let's go"

The master rushed to the county government office rolling and crawling, went straight to the backyard and woke up the county magistrate, "It's not good, sir, the shorthair has entered the city! Sir, get up and run..."

Yu Longguang rubbed his eyes, yawned, and asked confusedly, "Didn't Shorthair just take over Kunshan County? Why did they... enter the city again? How did they... enter the city?"

The master cried: "Sir, don't ask these questions. Get up and run quickly. If it's later, it'll be too late! Listen outside, there are voices everywhere wanting to capture you alive."

Yu Longguang pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a faint sound - capturing alive... the magistrate... the dog officer... Secretly he was glad that he had sent his family, Xinruan, back to his hometown. He quickly put on a coat and followed the master out.

County government.

Li Yunzhong knew that Zhou Lichun was preparing to start an uprising in the evening, and led the main force of the First Army to Qingpu County the next morning.

"Caomin Zhou Lichun, along with all the soldiers and civilians of Qingpu County, respectfully welcome His Highness the King of Han. May the King of Han live a thousand years longer." Zhou Lichun led the leaders of the Tiandihui and knelt down at the city gate to welcome him.

Li Yunzhong dismounted and helped Zhou Lichun up, "Old hero, please stand up. I'm not a big man and I don't want to kneel down. This time I was able to capture Qingpu County without any blood. I have to thank the old hero for his help."

Zhou Lichun stood up and said, "I don't dare. The King of Han is destined by fate. He will definitely be able to capture Qingpu County without ordinary people."

"Haha... I am a strong man who can win every battle because he will be rewarded for his merits and punished for his mistakes. Now that the old hero has dedicated Qingpu County to me, he deserves a heavy reward. Now I will temporarily grant you the position of Qingpu County Magistrate. I also hope that the old hero Zhou

Don’t refuse.”

Zhou Lichun did not expect that happiness would come so quickly. In a blink of an eye, he was the magistrate of the county. Everyone in the Tiandi Club behind him was also very happy and felt that he could enjoy his life.

Seeing that the King of Han was amiable and approachable, Zhou Xiuying took a few steps forward, raised her face and exhaled, "Your Highness, I also want to go into battle to kill the enemy. Please take me under your wing."

When Li Xiucheng saw that she was close to the King of Han, he was afraid that she would be unfavorable to the King of Han, so he shouted: "How presumptuous! You won't retreat yet."

Zhou Lichun brought his daughter back and apologized: "It's all because of my poor discipline. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

He had eyebrows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy, "No defense, you want to go into battle to kill the enemy? Do you know kung fu? This battlefield is not a house. A white knife goes in and a red knife comes out. If you don't pay attention,

I just... regret it so much!" Li Yunzhong looked at Zhou Xiuying who was eager to try and joked.

Zhou Xiuying hummed: "Don't look down on me. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Three or five big men are no match for me. I was the first one to rush to the county government office last night. Unfortunately, I didn't catch that dog official Yu Longguang."

Li Yunzhong especially liked this kind of girl who was charming and talented. "Okay! I will allow you to join the regular army of the Han Dynasty and be temporarily incorporated into the Guards."

Zhou Xiuying is very satisfied, "Thank you, Your Highness"

"Report...to report to Your Highness, there are three to five hundred broken troops coming from the north towards Qingpu County."

Li Yunzhong glanced at Li Xiucheng, did not answer, and led Zhou Lichun and others into Qingpu County.

Half an hour later, Li Xiucheng said to Li Yunzhong with a happy face: "Your Highness, the general went to interrogate the group of defeated soldiers just now. It turned out to be Xiang Yong stationed in Jiading County. They said that Xu Yao, the leader of the Tiandihui in the city, got up this morning.

, killed officials and rebelled and occupied the county seat."

Hearing another piece of good news, Li Yunzhong looked overjoyed. Qingpu and Jiading are the gateways to Shanghai County. Now that both counties have been forced, Shanghai is caught in a trap. "You immediately send someone to take over Jiading County. You can order Xu Yao to lead troops to attack Baoshan."

county."

Li Xiucheng responded: "Yes"

Shanghai County

Li Huansong felt more and more that a disaster was imminent. Today he received news that Qingpu County and Jiading County had been captured by rebels. He couldn't understand why Kunshan County, Jiading County, and Qingpu County were captured in just a few days.

Breakthrough, the trouble is that he still doesn’t know how many short-haired people there are!

Seeing Li Huansong walking back and forth, Wu Jianzhang reprimanded: "The short-haired man hasn't arrived yet! Are you afraid of this? It's the time for the court to employ people. As long as you make contributions and save Shanghai, the emperor will definitely promote you to the rank of general soldier."

, you have to think about it carefully."

Chang Gui looked at Wu Jianzhang in disgust and thought, what right do you, a fake foreign devil, have to lecture me! If it weren't for the current national crisis, you would please foreigners and borrow guns. The emperor would not kill you, so you don't know how to use them.

You are a Taoist.

When Wu Jianzhang saw that Li Huansong did not take him seriously, he secretly sulked. He also knew that he was an outlier in the officialdom and was not welcome, so he was sensible and stopped talking.

"Report, sir, the short-haired army is coming to Shanghai County."

Changgui stepped forward and asked: "How many people are there?"

"Boundless, at least fifty thousand people!"

Changgui fell to the ground and murmured: "There are only a few thousand people in the city, how can we hold it? No! We have to ask foreigners for help!".

Pulling himself together, Li Huansong flattered Wu Jianzhang and said: "Sir, Shanghai is in danger now. Please go to the foreigners and ask them to come forward and stop the short-haired siege."
