"You can rest assured that you are doing your best in this matter, and it will definitely not cost you money. There are benefits. 1"
The liaison officer secretly complained that although the Australians acted in a measured manner, when the army crossed the border, it was only grass, grain and firewood. The Australians also occupied Humen a few years ago and stationed troops here. Although they had to pay for the recruitment of things
Yes, but with more money, everything in Taiping Market has become more expensive, merchants have made a lot of profits, but the people are quite complaining.
He didn't dare to say anything more about Fubo's army, who neither robbed nor killed, who bought and sold equally. As far as soldiers were concerned, they were already like Bodhisattvas, so how could they dare to care about anything else.
Shi Zhiqi smiled and asked him to retreat. This liaison officer was not very effective. Unfortunately, they had too few cadres. There were only ten cadres to be sent to Dongguan County. Naturally, this small Taipingxu could not send cadres to receive the goods.
Already.
Then the special search team arrived at the Planning Institute and began to conduct a comprehensive inventory and take over of the government properties in Humen Village. Shi Zhiqi did not care about these matters. What he was most concerned about was the progress of approaching each company along the Pearl River water system.
He looked at his watch. According to the action plan, various units of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade of the General Reconnaissance Bureau should have controlled several gates in the east and south of the city. The 4th Infantry Battalion, which had been lurking in the big world beforehand, also entered the city.
The main points in the city were captured. In three hours, the first squadrons of the Guangdong Corps of the National Army from Hong Kong will pass through the Pearl River and head to the provincial capital and the first batch of occupied counties and important towns.
According to the Ministry of Urban Affairs and Industry, the march from the Pearl River Estuary to Guangzhou will be an armed march. The provincial river defense system that was barely restored after Xiong Wencan came to power is itself very weak. After experiencing the Battle of the Pearl River Estuary, the officers and soldiers responded to the Australians
The military strength of the army was fearful and unwilling to fight to the death. There were leading parties everywhere. The Ministry of Urban Affairs only had to offer the conditions of "guaranteeing the safety of people and family property, and escorting those who are willing to leave from Guangdong", which was enough for many people to agree to cooperate.
As the commander-in-chief of the first phase, Shi Zhiqi did not dare to be careless at all. The plan could never be implemented 100%. The internal strife in Humen Village fully demonstrated that it was not enough to have only a few high-level leaders leading the party. In fact, Ma Chengzu was very important in what happened today.
He may make a comeback, although whether he makes a comeback or not cannot affect the situation, but the journey ahead will not be smooth sailing.
"Report to me the progress of each detachment every hour." He ordered. He looked at the Guangzhou city map on the map again. The city gates were all marked: which ones had already been done.
, the blue ones are those that have agreed to open the door and dedicate the city, and the red ones are those that may need to be solved by force.
From the map, several gates in the east of the city: Dadong Gate, Wenming Gate and Guide Gate, which is the boundary between Panyu and Nanhai counties, have all been marked in blue. There are not many in total, but most of them are those who invaded Guangzhou.
The key point is that there are very few red city gates, and most of them are gray with ambiguous attitudes.
However, once the Fubo Army entered Guangzhou, these ambiguous grays followed the "pre-battle uprising", at least that's what Lin Baiguang said. Under normal circumstances, the guard of a city gate is just a general, with thirty or forty people under his command.
The soldiers are as strong as the sky. If there are no additional troops sent from the city to support them, there will be no waves at all.
It was already dawn, and it was not yet early morning. Inside the east gate of Guangzhou City, Dai Laochang was carrying a complete set of mason's tools as usual, preparing to go to work on the construction site in the Great World outside the city.
At this time, the city gate has not yet opened. A large group of craftsmen and laborers who also want to leave the city early are squatting at the entrance of Yuecheng Gate, chatting and having breakfast. Various food stalls specializing in this hard-working business are lined up under the city wall.
It was open, and it was steaming. Lao Chang did not go over to join them as usual, but went straight to the military academy on duty at the entrance, and said flatteringly: "Master, why hasn't the door opened today?!"
He had passed here all the time and was familiar with the soldiers guarding the gate.
"Why are you so anxious?! The water leak hasn't finished dripping yet. There's still half an hour left."
"How long will it take?!" Dai Laochang whispered as if to himself, "The survivors are crying in the dust!"
The military academy on duty heard this. He was stunned for a moment, glanced quickly from side to side, and then continued in a low voice: "Master Nan Wang will be here today."
After getting the signal that the city gate was ready, Dai Laochang retreated while shouting. After waiting for a while to confirm that no one noticed him, he came to the watchtower of Dongping Daba next to the city gate and took out
A piece of blue cloth came, walked in and asked: "Shopkeeper, do you think this is appropriate?"
The owner of the pawn shop took the blue cloth, looked at it, and said, "Wait a moment. I want to find someone to take a look."
"No rush, I'll wait here."
After a while, a small blue flag was hung on the watchtower of Dongping Dabao.
At this time, the sound of heavy iron wheels suddenly sounded from far and near outside the east gate. People who lived in this area and people who often went to the Great World construction site knew that this was the sound of an Australian iron ladder truck. This iron wheel
The ladder was laid from the entrance of the Great World to the entrance of Yuanyun Street. Because the gentry living in Dongguanxiang outside Dadongmen objected and the street was narrow, it was not laid to the city gate.
The sound of iron wheels in the morning light immediately attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers on the tower. They all stuck their heads out and looked hard at the Yuanyun Street intersection not far away.
The sound of the iron wheel disappeared, and was replaced by the sound of chaotic footsteps. A group of people wearing blue-gray jackets, iron helmets, leather boots, and holding torches ran quickly toward the east gate.
Hurry up and follow up behind me!"
After the leading officer finished shouting, he looked up at the top of the watchtower. There was a blue flag, which meant that everything went well and went according to plan.
"All companies, be on alert." After the officer gave the order, he shouted towards the city gate: "Fellow, open the door and give us a piece of land!"
In the doorway, the officers and soldiers responsible for guarding the city gate quickly ordered the soldiers to remove the horizontal bolts, open the city gate and lower the drawbridge.
The Fubo army passed through the city gate and entered Guangzhou City without a single soldier. At this time, a group of people in civilian clothes and blue cloth strips tied to their arms ran out from the main gate next to the city gate.
Shouted loudly to the Fubo Army officer: "Quick, go this way!"
"Okay, the guides are in place! Each team is proceeding as planned." The officer ordered: "First platoon, occupy the drum tower. Second platoon, bell tower, third platoon defend on the spot, ensure the city gate communication line, and connect friendly forces."
"Commander!"
"arrive!
"Report forward: Dadongmen, Master Wang has arrived ashore."
"There was a clang," the wine glass fell to the ground. The official guarding the civilized gate knelt down on the ground, holding his stomach in pain, staring at Pu Fuchang with a pair of eyes, and asked intermittently in a hoarse voice: "You
Why did you poison me?”
"I'm sorry, I am also helpless. Who told you to be so loyal to the Ming Dynasty?" Pu Fu stood up in a nonchalant manner and threw all the wine vessels on the table to the ground. "I don't know if the Ming Dynasty will die. Guangzhou
The city will be destroyed in an instant. If you want to die, I won't stop you, but if you don't, don't drag us to die together."
"If you don't want to, why do you agree and make an oath?"
Pu Fu smiled and said: "If I don't swear an oath to you, how can you drink this poisonous wine? What will you do if you try to get other people? There have been several generations of officers and soldiers in Wuyang City, and they are all people with families and families.
Are you going to die together because you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty?"
Before he finished speaking, Sa Zhifu was already vomiting blood and fell to the floor motionless.
Pu Fu smiled at the corpse again and said: "I will send your family to reunite with you soon, so you can go there in peace."
He looked at the sky outside the window, took off his saber from the wall, and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Two soldiers entered in response.
"Master Sazhifu has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty." He said sternly, "You should bury his body."
The soldiers responded, and Beaufort walked out of the city tower. It was already bright, and the city gate was opened much later than expected. But it didn't matter. The Australian troops should have entered the city early in the morning from the Civilization Gate of the Dadong Gate.
.He only needs to offer the city gate to the Australians who came to receive it as planned.
A close confidant came over quietly and whispered to Dao Sazhi that all the nephews and nephews of the soldiers who were floating in the Wenming Gate had been "disposed of."
Pouchang nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "We must eliminate the roots and deal with it thoroughly."
"Yes, I understand, I've already sent someone."
"Go there yourself." Pouchang said fiercely, "Don't let one of them go, it will be a disaster in the future."
"Yes, little one, let's go right now!"
After beating away his cronies, he leaned nervously against the parapet and looked at the street. There were no pedestrians on the street, and the shops were not open. The doors were not opened on time. This strange phenomenon had alerted the nearby residents, although they did not know it yet.
The city of Guangzhou has changed its owner, but they instinctively decided not to take to the streets or open the doors.
Beaufort looked at the sky. It was already past the beginning of the morning, and the Australian army should have arrived. But he hadn't seen them appear yet, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He was the guard of the Civilization Gate, and theoretically all the officers and soldiers here obeyed him.
However, the Sazhifu family has been reproducing here for several generations, and there are many old friends and relatives. If someone disobeys and starts making noises, it is unknown whether they can be suppressed as soon as possible!
The most dangerous thing doesn't end there. There is a training ground for guerrilla training in the east of Guangzhou City, with two battalions stationed at the front and back with nearly a thousand troops. If the news leaks out, the guerrilla training general will directly counterattack before the Australians arrive to take over.
Attacked from both inside and outside, he would immediately end up without a burial place!
He has sent his cronies and servants to control everything inside and outside the Dadongmen, but these people are a minority after all. Most ordinary soldiers do not have a gracious relationship with the officers on weekdays. The officers' control skills except
Severe punishments are deception, and determination is unreliable without generous rewards at critical moments. (To be continued.)
