Before yesterday evening, Sun Yong led the security battalion directly under the Military Affairs Department and rushed to the Wuxing Military Camp in the dusty weather to meet Chen Tianhua who had been waiting for a long time.

Sun Yong and the others arrived two days later than originally planned.

He explained that he was mainly waiting for the British side to agree to send consulate personnel and Xu Yunyuan's editorial team from the declaration office to arrive in Hangzhou.

Fortunately, Chen Tianhua had a forewarning in advance and sent Zheng Jiang and his party to set up checkpoints with the New Army on the main road to Meishan Town, and successfully detained several groups of people who went to Meishan Town to report the news.

Therefore, Meishan Town was well sealed off of what happened at Yaojin Mining, and no news was leaked.

The staff of the British Consulate and the Declaration Office arrived in Wuxing by boat from Hangzhou. They stayed at the Huzhou Reception Inn tonight. To avoid suspicion, they did not come to the military camp to see Chen Tianhua.

This time, the British Consulate in Hangzhou sent Counselor Ian and an entourage to accompany Sun Yong's guard battalion.

The declaration office dispatched a three-person editorial team headed by Xu Yunyuan, carrying cameras and other editing equipment.

Xu Yunyuan took the initiative to invite Ying this time, and Xi Yufu was very relieved considering that she was moving with the large army, especially under the command of the young master Chen Tianhua.

After all, Xu Yunyuan is one of the parties involved, and Allen's body must be returned. As his wife, she should be present.

Early this morning, Chen Tianhua and Sun Yong led the guard battalion to march first. Members of the British Consulate and the declaration office were escorted by a platoon led by Zuo Gang, and then slowly followed.

When approaching Meishan Town, Chen Tianhua personally led the special agent platoon to destroy a coal inspection station and three outposts.

Let the large group of troops follow the previous arrangement and complete the siege of Meishan Town before dark.

Then, he released a captured sentry squad leader and asked him to go back and inform Jin Tianbiao, ordering the security brigade to surrender their guns.

This brings us to the scene just now in the security brigade compound.

Chen Tianhua predicted that Jin Tianbiao would not believe that they were the new army of the Qing Dynasty, and would definitely resist stubbornly.

In fact, these are all part of Chen Tianhua's strategy.

The crime of illegal possession of standard firearms alone is not enough to make Jin Tianlong, He Renbao and others finally submit to the law.

Because behind them, in addition to the provincial governor's yamen and the Huzhou government yamen, there are also Japanese people.

They must have reported it to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and even the Ministry of War, and then put pressure on Li Cunzhi to release him.

Judging from the interrogations over the past few days, there has been no substantial progress.

The main figures, such as Jin Tianlong and He Renbao, remained silent and refused to cooperate with the interrogation. When they opened their mouths, they shouted that they were wronged.

Because the duty of the mining security team is to protect the mines, and their firearms have been reported to the Yamen in advance, and the Zhejiang Military Affairs Department has been established and their responsibilities have been adjusted, they can say that they are completely unaware of it.

In fact, this is also true.

Therefore, Chen Tianhua came to Meishan Town in the name of surrendering his weapons, but in reality he wanted to accuse Yaojin Mining of "gathering a crowd to rebel", and he had to do so.

Jin Tianbiao had not received any information from Yaojin headquarters or specific instructions from Jin Tianlong, and even if he were killed, he would not believe that these hundreds of armed troops were government troops.

He definitely thought it was a horse bandit in disguise.

Once the security brigade resists and shoots, causing casualties to officers and soldiers, the crime will be confirmed.

Now, it is clear that the captive squad leader who was released has not returned, and Jin Tianbiao has issued an order for a full-scale resistance.

Later, it is about how the New Army guard battalion launches the attack.

A burst of thoughts, chaos in the misty smoke...

Suddenly, there was a soft sound of footsteps approaching outside the door, and the guard's title of Master Sun was clear and clear.

A black figure lifted the door curtain and entered, "Third uncle, Miss Xu and Counselor Ian are here!" The voice was low but contained joy.

"Okay, let's say Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here. Please invite them in." Chen Tianhua suddenly turned around and said to Sun Yong.

"Mr. Ian, Miss Xu, please come in." Sun Yong turned around, lifted the door curtain, and shouted outside.

"Young Master."

A friendly call floated in from outside the door, and Xu Yunyuan lifted the curtain from outside and rushed in.

"Yunyuan!"

Chen Tianhua put down the pipe in his hand, stepped forward and hugged her tightly, "I didn't expect it was really you, haha!"

They hadn't seen each other for more than three months, and they both cared about each other, so they couldn't help but hug each other.

Sun Yong, who was standing next to him, saw this and turned his head slightly to the side.

"Hello, hello." A foreigner came in and said hello in blunt Chinese.

He was Ian, the counselor of the British Consulate. He had just entered the military camp and the tents were still being set up there. He came with Xu Yunyuan to meet the famous Mr. Chen.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yunyuan couldn't wait to lift the curtain and rushed in first, and he could only reveal himself later.

"Have a hard time, Mr. Ian."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Chen."

When the two met for the first time, Xu Yunyuan didn't need to introduce them, they hugged and greeted each other like old acquaintances.

After the two sides exchanged a few words, they got to the point.

"Meishan Town Security Brigade has refused to surrender their weapons and they are fighting stubbornly." Chen Tianhua introduced the process of persuading surrender to Ian.

Ian could only understand simple everyday Chinese. When he got to the point, Xu Yunyuan was translating. He nodded from time to time.

Chen Tianhua needs the support of British people for this drama. When the time comes to report it to the court officials, the testimony of Ian and Xu Yunyuan will be very important.

In fact, Chen Tianhua did not need to make this speech. Both Ian and Xu Yunyuan hoped that the government troops would destroy the evil-doing Meishan Town Security Brigade.

Ian is a member of the SIS, and he was very sad about Allen's death, because he was the one who sent Allen to carry out this mission, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous.

"Please rest assured, as a representative of the British side, I witnessed with my own eyes that the other side refused to listen to the government troops' persuasion to surrender and stubbornly resisted. We support the Qing Dynasty government troops to destroy them."

Ian expressed it in English and Xu Yunyuan translated it.

Chen Tianhua heard it clearly without a translator, but he still waited for Xu Yunyuan to finish translating before nodding, "Thank you Mr. Ian for your understanding and support. We will definitely be able to get to the bottom of the disappearance case of Mr. Charlie and others this time."

, to find out the real culprit behind the scenes.”

Naturally, Ian could guess who the real culprit was behind this incident. He had been investigating for more than a year, but he still had no real evidence.

Seeing that the truth was about to be revealed, he was still a little excited, "Thank you, Master Chen, Mr. Chen, and Mr. Deacon Sun. I wish you immediate success."

"You're welcome, we'll work together."

The two sides talked happily, and finally asked about the time for the war to begin. Sun Yong told him that it would be at dawn tomorrow morning, that is, at dawn.

…

"Dong dong dong...shh..."

"Boom...boom..."

"Da da da..."

"Bang...bang bang..."

"..."

At dawn, violent gunshots rang out around Meishan Town.

The encirclement and annihilation battle of Meishan Town has begun.

This time, Chen Tianhua and Sun Yong brought a total of six rapid-fire cannons and six Maxim machine guns.
Chapter completed!
