Chapter 196 Aftermath (please give me a monthly vote)

"What's going on?" Liu Chang didn't expect that there was a rebellion in Taiping County: "Then why did they send a company to Huang Yan?"

Although there were a whole teaching battalion and other sporadic troops in Taiping County, which were stronger than Huangyan County, Liu Chang did not expect that the teaching battalion was so noble and in great difficulty, he still sent an infantry company to Huangyan to support Feng Sixian.

After he asked this, Zhou Xiuying didn't understand: "I'll invite Miss Ye here to ask carefully!"

Liu Chang shook his hand: "There is no need for Madam Ye, just let the company commander come here. This is our own family matter! Battalion Commander Zhou, please settle Madam Ye first!"

Although the reinforcements of this company surprised Liu Chang, he was a little relieved. No matter what, the Hongjun is still a united and powerful group now.

In the case of a regiment rebellion in Taiping County, the teaching battalion insisted on sending an infantry company to Huangyan Company. This alone is enough.

He couldn't help but remember the decisive battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in northern Jiangsu - the Battle of Huangqiao.

The battle decided that the power of the two sides in the entire northern Jiangsu region was the comparison. Although the Kuomintang army had a population of 100,000, they destroyed each other. Li Mingyang, Li Changjiang, and Chen Taiyun not only watched the tiger's fight, but also took the opportunity to dig Han Deqin's footsteps.

Although the ** army was only 7,000, the troops were united. No matter how far away the New Fourth Army troops were from northern Jiangsu, they immediately sent reinforcements ranging from one company to one battalion to carry military pay, weapons and ammunition to support Huangqiao. Although the troops were not large, their arrival changed the fate of the entire battle situation.

The final outcome was that the New Fourth Army miraculously reversed the situation of the war, and 30,000** was hit by a devastating blow. Since then, the power balance in northern Jiangsu has undergone fundamental changes.

Now that the teaching battalion has set a good example for the entire Hongjun, Liu Chang immediately felt that the Hongjun had gradually taken shape.

However, Zhou Xiuying asked: "Precaution, I'll go and settle Miss Ye? She seems to be in a hurry to see you!"

"Preparing the family affairs first!" Liu Chang told her: "In the current situation, I don't have the opportunity to see Miss Ye!"

Although Mrs. Ye came to join alone, this might be a very good opportunity, but Liu Chang definitely doesn't care about this matter here.

He turned around and asked Feng Sixian and said, "Minister Feng, you did a very beautiful job this time. It turns out that I didn't use the wrong person!"

Feng Sixian immediately said, "Check, you may have made a mistake. It was not me who was in charge of Huang Yan's offense and defense this time, but I was Empress Shi!"

"Empress Shi?"

This name made both Liu Chang and Shi Tinglan a little embarrassed. The two of them only took their hands back, so why did they call the name of Shi Niang?

But Liu Chang still had to keep his smile on his face. He said, "No, you are also very outstanding. I will remember your merits. How many comrades in the army will be killed in this battle?"

Feng Sixian immediately said: "There are a lot. Although it has not been counted out in the final form, more than one hundred gloriously killed, including the newly recruited troupe braves!"

Even though the Tuan Yong was temporarily recruited, this number still made Liu Chang feel heartbroken. He finally stopped his tears from falling back: "I will remember their names, this time the sacrifice was too great!"

Rather than saying that the sacrifice was too great, it was better to say that the Hongjun's capital was too small. However, Liu Chang also knew that after this battle, the Hongjun had already controlled the territory of two counties, not to mention that Huang Taishu and six counties were the best. This is the essence of the entire Taizhou Prefecture.

As long as he had enough territory and money, Liu Chang could expand more troops, so he wiped away his tears.

Feng Sixian held Zhang Chengye's hand and said, "This time, the courage of the Zhang Chengye brothers has helped a lot. Mou Yinan said that their courage is tofu soldiers. As a result, the facts prove that the courage of the Zhang Chengye brothers is reliable!"

Rather than being reliable, Zhang Chengye had a good vision. He actually found a bunch of brave men with deep hatreds with Mou Yinan and Huang Tingxuan. It was through their efforts that the defenders of Huangyan County could have returned from the main force of the Hong Army.

Zhang Chengye hesitated for a moment and immediately knelt down for Liu Chang: "Sir, this time, due to the military emergency, he had to temporarily recruit 400 brave men and offered them a reward of twenty taels of silver. If the victims died in battle, they would be given an additional thirty taels of pension, now..."

He was a little worried that the promise he had made at the beginning would not be passed by Liu Chang, but Liu Chang quickly gave him a reassurance: "No problem, no matter whether it is the reward, the medicine fee, or the pension, just do as you say, and be with my Hongjun soldiers."

He asked again: "How many brave and brave casualties have been killed in this battle?"

Zhang Chengye immediately said: "Nine hundred brave people have been lost. I have been brave for many years. I have never been as fierce as this Huangyan Battle!"

Liu Chang nodded, comforted Zhang Chengye, but looked at Shi Tinglan before saying, "You are safe and safe, better than anything else!"

Shi Tinglan was a little worried at first, worried that Liu Chang would pursue her seizure of power on her own. When she heard Liu Chang speak like this, she immediately felt relieved and said half a love word: "I have been waiting for you to come back!"

That's enough, Zhou Xiuying has led Company Commander Ouyang from the teaching battalion to come over: "Check, I have settled Miss Ye, but she insists on coming to see you!"

"No hurry!" Liu Chang felt like she was swaying Mrs. Ye's appetite: "We have to deal with the family matters first!"

The so-called family affairs are all the aftermath of the entire Hongjun. The dead need to be buried and their families need to be sent to their families. The injured need to arrange treatment and also pay for decoctions.

The most complicated of these tasks is to deal with the thousands of prisoners captured in this battle. They have green camp soldiers, regiment warriors and peasants who are temporarily trapped. The handling of this work must be very meticulous. At least half of the prisoners must be supplemented into the Hongjun army, especially those captured regiments, who have been confirmed to be incorporated into the punishment camp.

But the first priority is to eliminate all the remaining enemies first, so Liu Chang turned around and asked Company Commander Ouyang: "Ouyang, is Taiping's situation serious?"

"It's not particularly serious!" Company Commander Ouyang Xin told Liu Chang: "Are I staying in Huangyan, or rush back first?"

"You can't let you run for nothing." Liu Chang told Company Commander Ouyang: "The next thing we need to clear away the remaining enemies outside the city, you can bring some prisoners back."

Everyone understands his words, that is, to hand over the easiest task to Ouyang Xinlian. If they can't catch enough prisoners, everyone will find a way to solve it for him.

Next, Liu Chang asked about the situation in Taiping County: "How many people participated in the rebellion?"

"It's just a few hundred people!" Ouyang Xin told Liu Chang: "There are at most one thousand people, and they are scattered throughout the county. If Buxing hadn't landed, there wouldn't be this number."

Su Jingrong attempted to gather tens of thousands of people to uprising with one letter from him, which was obviously too optimistic. Even with the excitement of Buxing and landing on the Taiping Coast, there were still only a few hundred regiments in Taiping County practicing uprising.

Taiping is different from Huangyan. Huangyan's local bravery knew nothing about the combat effectiveness of the Hong army. Moreover, when the Hong army first arrived in Huangyan, everything was blind to the situation when they arrived in the local area, not to mention that the militia in Huangyan County was quite brave.

But Taiping County is different. The Hong Army has captured Taiping County for more than a month. During this period, the Hong Army has repeatedly won victory in Taiping County, giving the gentry in Taiping County an impression of invincibility.

Not to mention that Liu Chang and Shi Tinglan have already divided and disintegrated locally, so most gentry who have mastered militia armed forces now have a neutral attitude, and even if they are hostile to the Hong Army, they have to wait and see.

In fact, the situation is more optimistic than Liu Chang's imagination: "In fact, we don't need to take action, we can deal with them even with group training."

Among the strong men in the regiment training and local areas, most of them are neutral. Those who oppose the Hongjun and tend to the Hongjun are minorities, but with the support of the teaching battalion, it is enough that these strong men close to the Hongjun have an overwhelming advantage.

After hearing that the situation in Taiping County was quite optimistic, Liu Chang immediately said, "It seems that Huang Xiude's head will be handed over to you! Also, you took Mou Yinan to Taiping County and killed him!"

Liu Chang's retaliation measures were not limited to this, but he would ask Ge Mengjin and Miss Ye next: "How did the Fifth Master and Miss Ye?" The Fifth Master disappeared?"

"They fought with Buxingyou's fleet for half a day yesterday. It is said that the battle was dizzy and dark. Buxingyou and they all sank four ships, and many Guangyong were killed and injured. But when the Fifth Master thought he could succeed, Buxingyou pulled out his Jinbaochang, which was a living turret on the sea..."

The Jinbaochang, which is some of the Buxing, is an enlarged large red single-ship. After the transformation, this transport ship used by Guangdong merchants to transport cargo became the largest and strongest warship in the entire coastal and riverside of China during this period, and can be equipped with twenty or thirty artillery.

The Jinbaochang ships in Buxing are larger than ordinary large red ships. The large red ships are only five or six hundred tons, but the Jinbaochang can carry 100 tons and are equipped with more than 40 foreign cannons.

Even though Ge Mengjin and Niang Ye had made all preparations in advance, their foundation was too weak, and the result was that Jin Baochang played a decisive role in the naval battle. Often, a round of artillery can kill several ships on Niang Ye's side.

The shelling on Ye Niangzi's side was insignificant to the Jin Baochang. As a result, after a battle, Ge Wuye was sunk more than ten large and small warships, and six warships were captured by Buxingyou.

The remaining Ge Mengjin's fleet saw that the situation was wrong and immediately turned to break through. As a result, it was surrounded by Buxing's fleet, and several more ships were lost during the breakout. When they fled back to Yuhuan, they found that Ge Mengjin's ship had not come back.

Ge Mengjin's people and the rice boat he drove disappeared without a trace. The pirates waited for a day, but risked their lives to send a boat to search, but they couldn't find Ge Mengjin.
