---------..

This send-off was destined not to be high-profile. One hundred and fifty people packed their luggage and boarded the ship silently at night! Fang Jianxiong stood at the pier, shook hands with every brother who got on the ship, and kept repeating: "Please!"

With Fang Jianxiong's current status, the effect of this can be imagined. Everyone feels that they have been valued by Mr. Fang, and every young man has a feeling of enthusiasm. Every student is willing to support Mr. Fang right now.

Charge with a machine gun!

People in this era are too easy to fool! It’s hard to see others treating them well!

The last person to board the boat was Cheng Zhixuan. When Fang Jianxiong shook hands with him and said goodbye, he solemnly said: "Zhixuan, the future battlefield will be the world of artillery. The burden on your shoulders is not light!"

Cheng Zhixuan saluted solemnly and said seriously: "Please rest assured, Sir, I will definitely take care of my brothers in this humble position and learn their skills!"

The river ship went away, but Fang Jianxiong refused to leave the dock. The curtain enveloped both sides of the Yangtze River, and white waves kept lapping at the river bank, making a roaring sound.

"The waves of a big river are wide, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers on both sides. My family lives on the bank. I am used to hearing the call of the boss and seeing the white sails on his clothes!" Fang Jianxiong suddenly couldn't help but sang in front of the surging river.

stand up.

Surprisingly, it was not out of tune! This is my motherland! As the song rose, Fang Jianxiong had never had such a strong sense of historical mission!

Great rivers and mountains! Who controls the ups and downs!

In the year of 1911, the Qing Dynasty was in turmoil, and the building was about to collapse!

At the end of March, 100,000 hungry people in Tianmen County, Hubei Province began to grab rice, which started a great turmoil, which quickly spread to neighboring provinces. The imperial court urgently sent a message to all provinces to prevent civil unrest, but people's livelihood was extremely difficult. Tens of thousands of hungry people grabbed rice in several places in Hunan.

.The Qing army was running around to suppress and was exhausted.

At the same time, the magistrate of Chao County, Anhui Province took the lead in reporting Wuwei, and the chicken feather swallow at the junction of Chao County,

A group of ruthless bandits gathered in the Xianren Cave area. The bandits once captured Yinping Town, looted everything and then fled. The First Battalion of the Chao County Patrol Battalion was ordered by the magistrate to suppress the battle, but the whole army was wiped out! Now the ruthless bandits are so powerful that they threaten the county.

I hope Lord Futai will send troops to rescue quickly.

Zhu Jiabao sent an urgent telegram to Fang Jianxiong and quickly eliminated them. Fang Jianxiong received the telegram and called the dog-leg master Li Muyan to discuss.

Li Muyan was really bad at it. He didn't even read the telegram. He smiled lightly and said, "This is easy to do. Just let the gangsters attack Wuwei County! Then your Excellency will send troops to cross the river and chase them all the way to Chao County."

! The whole Chaohu Patrol Battalion has been wiped out, and it is not at your discretion. After a while, when the county is in crisis, I will just go and wipe it out."

Fang Jianxiong patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Great kindness!"

After the discussion, Fang Jianxiong telegraphed to Zhu Jiabao and personally led the Third Battalion of Infantry and Artillery to Chaoxian County to relieve the difficulties. He also called Zhu Jiabao to deal with the aftermath! Zhu Jiabao called back and said that the Chaoxian County Patrol Battalion was no longer useful, so Fang Jianxiong could provide training on his behalf!

At the same time, Zhu Jiabao also urgently called Ji Guangen, the commander of the Hefei Patrol Battalion, to lead his troops south to cooperate with Fang Jianxiong to exterminate the bandits.

According to the exercise plan, just after Fang Jianxiong led his army across the Yangtze River, the magistrate of Wuwei County called Anqing urgently. The fierce bandit "Yizhimei" led tens of thousands of bandits to besiege the county. At the same time, he also sued the magistrate of Chao County. It was not the patrol force of Chao County to suppress the bandits.

The rebels sent hundreds of rifles to the bandits, so there was no crisis at Wuwei. Fortunately, Wuwei patrol battalion got Fang Fuguo to be highly effective after training, and could still hold on for a few days. I hope you can send troops to rescue us as soon as possible.

Zhu Jiabao became anxious when he saw the telegram sent overnight. The tens of thousands of people must have exaggerated the fact that the officials below were like this. But there must be thousands of people. Thinking that the Chao County patrol camp had been killed, this fierce force

The fighting power of the bandit was evident. So he called Fang Jianxiong again and ordered him to attack quickly to prevent the ruthless bandit "Yizhimei" from destroying the place.

After not sleeping well all night, Zhu Jiabao was woken up early in the morning. There was a servant outside calling Chao County, and he was in a hurry! He got up from the hot bed with panda eyes.

The telegram from Chao County also came to complain, but the complaint was to Ji Guangen, the commander of the Hefei Patrol Battalion, who was afraid of the banditry and stopped moving forward! Seeing that Zhu Jiabao was so annoyed, he sent a telegram to Ji Guangen in the direction of Hefei and headed south quickly, otherwise he would be severely punished!

When I saw the call from Wuwei again, I felt a rush of heat all over my body from my belly to the top. It felt so good!

"It was night, Jianxiong received an urgent call from your Excellency, just as our army was crossing the river. He ordered the artillery camp behind him and personally led the two infantry battalions on a rapid march overnight. At three o'clock in the morning, he arrived outside Wuwei County to rest for a while, and launched an assault with thunderous momentum.

Although there are many bandits, they cannot be defeated in one fell swoop!"

Below is the words of the magistrate of Wuwei County: "Commander Fang led his troops to defeat the bandit army in the early morning. The cannons outside the city were booming and the fire was shooting into the sky. The bandits were killed and injured countless times. The siege of Wuwei has been solved! The Wuhu reinforcements passed the city but could not enter. As they continued to move north, Fang Gongjian

The heroes rode their horses under the city, looking north and shouting in the distance: "Destroy this imperial eclipse!"

"Okay, okay!" After shouting three times, Zhu Jiabao imagined the scene at that time. After Fang Jianxiong waved his troops to defeat the thieves, he stood on his horse when he passed the city gate. Surrounded by torches, he raised his whip and looked north, shouting: "

Destroy this pilgrimage!"

Zhu Jiabao's adopted son Zhu Ji said from the side: "Fang Jianxiong was able to defeat thousands of fierce bandits with two steps, which shows the inefficiency of the Chao County patrol camp!"

Hearing the concept of thousands, Zhu Jiabao nodded and affirmed this statement, and thought about it for a while: "During the Anqing Rebellion, Fuguo also personally led the teaching team and escorted Ben Futai back to the city overnight. This is how the chaos began.

The elite troops trained by Fang Fuguo have always been fast! It’s a pity that Hefei’s troops marching south are stationary, fearing that they will miss the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop!”

Because the battle was at night, Magistrate Wuwei didn't know exactly what was happening outside the city, but he heard constant explosions and gunshots! He climbed to the top of the city to wait and see, but he saw flames shooting into the sky, bandits in chaos, and wolves running around!

Then Fang Jianxiong immediately rode down to the city. Behind him were more than ten tiger warriors holding torches. The black man above the horseback shouted pretentiously toward the city: "Destroy this imperial food!"

We waited until daybreak to see that the bandit camp outside the city was in a mess, with dozens of corpses! It seemed that Wuhu had no time to clean up the battlefield. At noon, we finally received a response from Fang Jianxiong, saying that the bandits had fled in all directions.

We rested for a while in Shijian Town and asked the county magistrate to entertain the subsequent artillery camp.

In Qiaotou Market Town, where the Hefei Patrol Battalion Headquarters was heading south, a telegram made Commander Ji Guangen feel ashamed.

Fang Jianxiong actually defeated tens of thousands of bandits with just two battalions? How could this make Commander Ji, who was lingering here with six battalions and two thousand people, embarrassed?

The main thing to blame is the patrol camp in Chao County. The entire army was wiped out. This gave Ji Guangen the idea of ​​preserving his strength. If you don’t have soldiers these days, who will take you seriously? Isn’t there Fang Jianxiong from Wuhu?

?Let him compete with the gangsters first and see how good he is.

Who would have thought that that guy actually won the battle and was leading his army north to pursue him!

Ji Guangen hurriedly ordered his troops to go south. He didn't expect that just after passing Jiongyang Town, there were dozens of explosions on both sides of the road. The explosions were deafening, and then gravel fell from the sky like raindrops. Ji Guangen's mount was hit by a stone and was in pain.

The horse was frightened, and Ji Guangen was thrown off the horse in a hurry.

The patrol camp was smashed into pieces, and the formation was in chaos. Before Ji Guangen, who had been smashed on his butt, came to his senses, the sound of gunfire on both sides of the road was like fried beans, and the firepower was as fierce as the salvos of thousands of guns.

The Hefei Patrol Battalion was completely in chaos for a while, and those who were beaten were disoriented! Ji Guangen heard the intensive gunshots, and secretly complained, thinking that he had fallen into the bandit's plan. He quickly gathered hundreds of soldiers around him, and called a battalion officer to lead the team toward

He fought his way out in the direction of Hefei, while he led the guards and other rebels to cut off the rear.

Ji Guangen also dealt with it well. The main general cut off the rear and retreated while fighting, and his morale immediately recovered a lot.

In order to survive and the leader was cut off, the soldiers naturally fought to the death. Finally, Ji Guangen fought his way out and retreated to Jiongyang Town to organize defense.

The bandit soldiers actually stopped chasing after them outside the town. The patrol battalion suffered heavy casualties in this battle. Ji Guangen counted the losses and found that 2,000 people lost 800, and half of the remaining people were injured, most of them stoned.

.

How can we fight this battle?

I had no choice but to continue to hold on and wait for reinforcements to come to rescue me. At the same time, I also sent people to return to Fei to report the news. They said that the bandit soldiers were strong and could not be defeated in a hard battle, so they retreated to Jiongyang Town. It was also said that outside Wuwei City, the bandit soldiers were bluffing. I hope Fang Jianxiong goes north and be careful.

.

As a result, when the news reached Hefei, people here were also frightened. They quickly telegraphed to Zhu Jiabao and conveyed it according to Ji Guangen's statement. Zhu Jiabao waited for a day, but what he didn't expect was to receive the news and curse Ji Guangen.

Yu, quickly asked someone to send a telegram to Chaoxian County and Wuwei.

In the middle of the night, Fang Jianxiong's call came back, saying that he had received the news and was reorganizing the situation. More elite soldiers were sent to investigate. The brigade was slowly moving north to find the main force of the bandit army for a decisive battle.

Zhu Jiabao had another bad night's sleep. He went to bed without waiting for news until midnight. He never expected to be woken up again the next morning. But after yesterday's experience, Zhu Jiabao was somewhat looking forward to it.

Sure enough, an urgent telegram came from Chao County. The telegram said: The troops from Wuhu arrived last night and did not enter the county town. They stayed outside the city. This morning they broke camp and headed north. Fang Jianxiong asked someone to borrow more than thirty mules and horses to drive the artillery camp.

When Zhu Jiabao saw this telegram, he felt relieved. When Fang Jianxiong arrived at the county seat, he actually did not enter the city again. This shows that he is not arrogant, but has great confidence in his soldiers.

At noon, Zhu Jiabao received another telegram, again from Chao County, saying: There were rumbling cannons and intensive gunshots from the north of the city. It was believed to be a battle between the Wuhu Army and the bandits.

Zhu Jiabao called back and cursed: "Telegrams are very expensive, wait until the war is over!"

The magistrate of Chaoxian County was scolded and quickly sent someone to see where the gunfire was. The messenger rushed quickly and when he arrived, Fang Jianxiong led his army to attack a hilltop. However, he saw the Sanqi rapid fire cannon turning the hilltop into a sea of ​​flames with an astonishing momentum!

Fang Jianxiong told the courier that he had been fighting with the bandits for an hour. The bandits were tenacious and were organizing a storm! The courier was surprised when he saw that there were many wounded soldiers nearby and some soldiers' corpses were covered with white cloths.

Finally, there was a burst of cheers from the front, and the patrol battalion soldiers rushed up the hill. The messenger was confused and hurried back to report, saying that the Wuhu patrol battalion, led by Fang Jianxiong, defeated the bandit soldiers and killed hundreds of them.

Before dark, Zhu Jiabao received the telegram and was overjoyed! (Note: Wuhu and Hefei were laying wired telegraphs at the time. Chao County, Wuwei didn't know, so he wrote it like this!)
