After Fang Shaohua returned to Hangzhou, although he washed and sorted it out, the scars on his body were hard to cover up. Yang Wei looked at Fang Shaohua in shock, and those who didn't know thought he had been robbed halfway.

Fang Shaohua kept silent and Tang Shengzhi's ridicule, but from Fang Shaohua's eyes, Yang Wei had already guessed the clues and was immediately furious.

In addition to being obsessed with gods and Buddhas, Tang Shengzhi's biggest characteristic is that he is arrogant and he likes to be unwilling to be a descendant. Since his school years, he has been relying on his own as a proud disciple of Jiang Baili to show off his power. In this Northern Expedition, he led four armies to sweep across the two lakes, and was even more proud.

When Tang Shengzhi entered Nanjing, Yang Wei thought that it was not easy to use Tang Shengzhi as a springboard to surrender to the Northern Expedition Army, but he never expected that Tang Shengzhi would fight against Fang Shaohua he sent, and the two soldiers would not kill him. This is the rule since ancient times. Tang Shengzhi's attack of power has not only ruined Yang Wei's face.

Yang Wei looked at Fang Shaohua and said with a look of a gaze: "What did Tang Shengzhi say? You boldly say that I have already guessed such a result." Blood Quenching Mountains and Rivers 129

Fang Shaohua gritted his teeth, and his eyes were shining with cold light behind the black-framed glasses. The reason why he refused to say Tang Shengzhi's humiliation was more for his own dignity. Fang Shaohua, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, could not tell the story of his humiliation even in front of Yang Wei. He just said coldly: "Captain Tang said that he would enter Hangzhou soon."

Yang Wei sneered and nodded and said, "Okay, I want to surrender him but don't accept his good intentions, so I can only fight and fight."

As soon as this statement was made, Yang Wei immediately reorganized his army and vowed to fight.

On that day, it was raining rain. The soldiers stood in the rain, all of whom were soaked like chickens. However, under Yang Wei's strict training, they had long been accustomed to the harsh environment and stood straight and unmoved.

Yang Wei also stood in the pouring rain. After being silent for more than ten minutes, he wiped the rain from his face and whispered: "Is the rain heavy?"

The soldiers below did not understand what Yang Wei meant, and only a few voices answered. Yang Wei immediately asked again loudly: "Do you all make me louder, is it loud?"

The soldiers immediately answered in unison, their voices deafening. Yang Wei nodded with satisfaction and said passionately: "But the rain of bullets we are going to eat next is even heavier than this rain. Then the rain will not fall but bullets! I will tell you clearly today that our good days are coming to an end, because someone will not let us live a peaceful life. The Northern Expedition Army will not accept us and will destroy us on the spot. What do you think you will do?"

In the past, under Yang Wei's guidance, his soldiers had already become aware of getting up and attacking. Without thinking, they shouted confidently: "We must resist!"

The soldiers were full of morale, and even with this morale, Yang Wei was full of confidence. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you all listen. Each person paid half a year's salary first. If he lost, there would be no military salary again. What kind of life should our relatives and neighbors live? We should be a captive of the defeated army or a victorious army, it depends on our own. Can we win?"

Before Yang Wei finished speaking, the soldiers all replied in a magnificent and passionate manner: "Yes!"

After Yang Wei's arrogant oath, the soldiers were full of confidence in the battle. Yang Wei knew that when leading troops to fight, momentum was even more important than strength, and only by mastering what people wanted could the soldiers follow him sincerely.

However, the Northern Expedition Army made a mistake that was exactly the opposite of Yang Wei's actions.

Due to the successive battles, the Northern Expedition Army was short of military supplies and only received food and donations. However, the current situation is in chaos and the people are living in poverty. In order to make a living, it was already very difficult, and the Northern Expedition Army made the people complain even more.

Although the Northern Expedition Army had not yet arrived in Hangzhou City, the organization that collected and donated food came first. Although it widely advocated that the Northern Expedition Army was asking for orders for the people and fighting for the country, ordinary people could not listen to the truth. They only knew that Yang Wei did do a lot of good things for the people in just a few months.

When Yang Wei was in power, his taxes and profits were extremely low, which made the people and merchants taste the sweetness. He also pacified the "chaotic" gangs in Hangzhou and gained peace for the people. Although it cannot be said that they would not close their doors at night and not pick up their own relics, it was considered a peaceful and peaceful state of peace.

Yang Wei did not intend to make money from the people. With Yang Wei's integrity and integrity, the image of the Northern Expedition Army was immediately at a disadvantage in the people's minds. The difficulty of sending donations to collect grain was greatly increased, and the people and merchants did not buy it at all.

The soldiers were full of fighting spirit and the people resisted the Northern Expedition Army. This incident soon reached Tang Shengzhi's ears. Tang Shengzhi, who was burning incense, calmly put the Buddha statue on incense, turned around and cursed: "This bastard Yang Wei, has given the "soul-soul medicine" to the people? If you don't donate grain, don't you don't donate grain. After you have captured Hangzhou City, you want to donate it and I don't want that."

The staff officer Tian Weiguo, who was standing aside, sighed helplessly and said, "The Tang Army Commander is such a bad word. If the military and civilians divide their families, they will not be able to sit steadily even if they can conquer the country. There must be a reason why Yang Wei can be loved by the people. Now fighting with him may be a loss of the people's hearts."

Tang Shengzhi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This time, the grain collection failed. If it was forced to collect grain, wouldn’t it be different from the bandits? Taking the overall situation into consideration, he could only bite the bullet and ask for military expenses from the superiors. Bloody Mountains and Rivers 129

But before Tang Shengzhi could report the matter to the top, he received a call from Chiang Kai-shek in Wuhan.

On the phone, Chiang Kai-shek had already learned that Tang Shengzhi refused Yang Wei's rejection of Yang Wei's return to the Northern Expedition Army and failed to collect grain. He was very angry about this and couldn't help but scold him: "I have learned about Yang Wei's behavior in Wuhan. It's really stupid. Although Yang Wei is a miscellaneous army, why did he refuse to surrender? It would be fine, but he also hurt his face. Do you know that the morale in Hangzhou is now high, and the military and civilians have decided to work together to fight against the Northern Expedition Army. What benefits will this do for us?"

Tang Shengzhi had no words to argue, so he had to let Chiang Kai-shek scold him and attribute all his anger to Yang Wei.

Fortunately, at the end of the call, Chiang Kai-shek could not say: "Forget it, since you have refused, there is no other way. Anyway, it's just some scattered soldiers and scattered, and it's time to solve it. It deserves its reputation in the future, and the people's will will naturally be clear at a glance."

With Chiang Kai-shek's words, Tang Shengzhi was relieved, but fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek did not continue to blame him.

At the same time, Tang Shengzhi, who was scolded, was indignant and decided to immediately send troops to Hangzhou City, and he had to fulfill his promise and make Yang Wei kneel down and beg for mercy.
