Chapter 468 Thunder
For the ambitious Shi Yunqing, this news was a blow. He couldn't believe the news and roared: "How is it possible, how is it possible! How could Commander Lin run away? I didn't just become Commander!"
Lin Song can be said to be the second-ranked figure of Shi Yunqing, the group is only lighter than Shi Yunqing, but heavier than anyone in the group, let alone the new recruits after entering Fujian. Shi Yunqing has made great calculations, but he did not expect Lin Song to run to his opposite side...
You should know that Lin Song has been playing since he was a child, and even joined the Hongjun, he took Lin Song to play. At that time, Lin Song did not take Liu Chang seriously at all, and he also regarded Lin Song as his caring person, and did not be taboo about big and small matters. Later, when his small group developed to two companies, he served as a company commander, and the company commander of the other company was Lin Song. When he developed to two battalions, the battalion commander of the second battalion was also Lin Song.
As for the opportunity of French invasion after entering Fujian, Shi Yunqing also asked Lin Song to lead his own group of people. He always thought that Lin Song would never have any problems. As long as he said something, Lin Song would definitely lead his group of people to die. Unexpectedly, such a big problem came up: "Put the team back, our voyage has only two groups in total. If we pull a group of people away, how can we play!"
This is a big truth. Although Shi Yunqing regards himself as an emperor, his basic strength is just the newly expanded infantry brigade. Although the two regiment commanders appointed division commanders, their strength is only two inflated infantry regiments. If Lin Song runs away, his major event will be stillbirth before it even starts.
Fortunately, good news came that day: "Lin Songlin's old thief only brought more than two companies away, and the rest of the team was pulled back by us. Everything was fine!"
This was the result of Shi Yunqing's operation for more than two years. The facts proved that he was quite effective in the operation of his own troops. Although Lin Song insisted on following the inspection to the death, most of the cadres below were Shi Yunqing's best friends. As a result, when the situation was not right, Lin Song could only withdraw in a hurry with two consecutive people loyal to him.
"That's good...this is good!" Shi Yunqing was much more relieved. Lin Song's group of people was only pulled away for more than two consecutive people, so there was no big problem with the overall situation. He could still start a career in Fujian, but now he understands Yun Tianzong's mood.
Yun Tianzong borrowed him five hundred flintlock rifles!
Soon he felt that he would no longer consider this issue. Now, including the local ** battalion, he nominally had two infantry divisions and one infantry brigade, but in fact he was just a group of two regiments and one ** battalion. Lin Song pulled away more than half of the battalion, and he actually had only seven battalions. He had to do everything possible to expand his strength.
He immediately focused his eyes on Qu Zhibin's regiment. He put a lot of effort into this infantry regiment, and Qu Zhibin's detachment had a grudge against Liu Chang, so it was a sure thing to pull him over.
Thinking of this, he relaxed. So what if Lin Song ran away? He just took away more than two companies. I can bring back an entire infantry regiment.
...
But he didn't expect that Lin Song was in Qu Zhibin's regiment headquarters now: "Captain Qu, I broke out from the stone thief to the death. I'll wait for you to say something now!"
Qu Zhibin didn't expect that such a big change would happen. He hesitated and said: "Captain Lin, aren't you and Shi Yunqing's friendship in life and death?"
Lin Song, a child from the green camp, is very bachelor: "That's right, I met him when I was five years old. After living a lifelong relationship, I was brought to the Hongjun by Shi Yunqing. I want to thank him for this."
But Lin Song quickly changed the subject: "But in this matter, Shi Yunqing was not doing it. So what if the foreigners come? The territory of China is still owned by our Chinese. His Highness Yan. Therefore, I would rather not have my group of people than to follow His Highness Yan. Do you still have to be obsessed with it?"
Qu Zhibin's 16th Infantry Regiment is the remnant of Qu Zhenhan's unit of the Red Turban Army, and has a complex relationship with the Hong Army in history, so Qu Zhibin was also very confused.
His force is the most direct force among the Red Turban Army. But that's true. It's not popular among the Hongjun Army. Seeing that Shi Yunqing's detachment, which is not as strong as his, has been expanded into an infantry brigade, and Qu Zhibin's old Red Turban Army is just an infantry regiment: "But... Now Liu Chang's army has not decided on the victory or defeat with foreigners near Shanghai. I think we'd better wait and see, after all, Shi Yun Camp has been in operation for a long time!"
"Yes, he has been in charge for a lot of time!" Lin Song shouted immediately: "And he has also managed a lot of connections and force in the local area. Now that he is in charge of the incident, many local strongmen take the opportunity to support him, but the teams that can really fight are only seven battalions, and one-third of this matter may be dispersed, at least I brought the entire battalion here."
Qu Zhibin thought it would be better to wait and see: "I didn't say I'll work with Shi Yunqing."
Lin Song said without hesitation: "Old Qu, don't you just slam the flags simply and accurately, just follow the thief. Have you forgotten the lessons of Qu Zhenhan and General Qu!"
Qu Zhenhan was a critical moment and misjudged, causing tens of thousands of people in the Red Turban Army to collapse in a few days. The basic force was only Qu Zhibin, but Qu Zhibin had his own opinion: "But Yun Shiqing had two whole regiments and one ** battalion, and the local powerful force dependent on him, no less than seven or eight thousand people. I heard that he had tricked a large number of foreign guns and cannons from Yun Tianzong, which was difficult to deal with!"
Qu Zhibin only had one infantry regiment in his hands, and although the system changed after entering Fujian, his actual force was only over two thousand. Even if Lin Song and his half-battalion were not Shi Yunqing's opponent, he seemed particularly hesitant.
Since Lin Song broke up with Shi Yunqing, he immediately said, "What are seven or eight thousand people? Can they compare with His Highness King Yan's 100,000 soldiers? The Pioneer Company is always a cannon fodder company in the Rainbow Army. His Highness King Yan can deal with Shi Yunqing if he sends a second-rate team to him. Most of his team is covered by him. As long as you attack this banner, you will naturally have a lost team that will revolt."
Lin Song saw that Qu Zhibin was a little hesitant, and immediately took out the revolver he carried with him: "Old Qu, if you don't want to show your flag, just shoot me! If I dodge, I'm not a man!"
Qu Zhibin and Lin Song have not had a deep friendship in history, but now that Lin Song is forced to do so, he cannot stand on Liu Chang's side: "Okay! I will show my flag now. Our 16th Infantry Regiment is the pillar of His Highness Yan King. Now we are going to attack the rebel Shi Yunqing!"
He had no choice but to make a statement, but after the statement, there was a shocking change. As Lin Song said, Shi Yunqing could not firmly grasp his own force. Even though he had worked hard in his own troops for many years, after Lin Song and Qu Zhibin joined forces to fight against the rebels, several troops from the Second Infantry Brigade of Fujian ** Infantry Brigade emerged and moved closer to Qu Zhibin's army. Among them, there were even established infantry companies and half-companies led by a deputy regiment commander, especially Lin Song's infantry regiment uprising, which could be said to be endless, and they all came to compete with Lin Song, the old regiment commander.
In just two or three days, the team that had revolted from Shi Yunqing had reached more than 500 people, and almost one infantry battalion could be formed. However, to Qu Zhibin annoyed, one of his deputy battalion commanders and two company commanders both pulled some teams to rush to surrender to Shi Yunqing.
He never expected that Shi Yunqing had put so much effort into his army. Fortunately, he found out in time and was only pulled away more than 200 people. However, the fact that Shi Yunqing alone stabbed him in the back forced him to break up with Shi Yunqing.
Shi Yunqing did not expect that Liu Chang would have such a great influence in his group. He ran around about a thousand people, and these thousand people were the backbone cores of the entire army. Although a group of officers were temporarily promoted, two infantry divisions adapted from the infantry regiment were upgraded to infantry troops again. At the same time, a large number of strong men were brought from the local area to supplement the vacancies, barely stabilizing the people's hearts.
But soon there was devastating bad news. Huo Qiu was ready to transfer Huang Wenjin Regiment to Fujian to meet with the 16th Infantry Regiment of the ** Infantry Regiment, and then an old Third Division Infantry Regiment entered Fujian. According to further information, the Hong Army was also preparing to mobilize reinforcements from Zhejiang to Jiangxi. The two sides had formed a situation of even force.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Shi Yunqing had to announce that this was a false news released by Qu Zhibin and Lin Song: "Now Zeng Guofan is counterattacking Nanchang at any time, and the pseudo-Yan King was restrained by the Yi army near Shanghai. He was defeated repeatedly. How could he support Fujian? Now it is a god-given opportunity for our Tang Dynasty to establish a career. Everyone works hard and they are all founding fathers."
He showed the money, food, guns and cannons he had saved: "What's more, our inventory of weapons is enough to arm tens of thousands of people..."
But as soon as he said this, someone shouted over there: "Not good, no good..."
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Shi Yunqing probably had another officer loyal to Liu Chang led the team to Lin Song and Qu Zhibin and passed by: "Sooner or later they will regret it!"
However, the news brought by this messenger was as bright as thunder: "The army of King Yan severely damaged thousands of French and French near Shanghai and wiped out tens of Russian and French. Now the armistice negotiations with French and French are underway, and the First Dragon Spear Division is ready to go south!"
The First Division was going south to Fujian? Shi Yunqing's face suddenly turned pale.
