Chapter 777

The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi did not look good on Li Xiao, but Fu Ren'an, the prefect of Guangzhou, was very fawning to Li Xiao. The place where Li Xiao stayed was located at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a quiet environment. The most rare thing is that this place is cool.

The steamer-like hot air blows against the water surface, and when it blows into the thatched cottage, it turns into cool air, and it is cool air with moist water vapor. After lunch, get a deck chair and lie down by the water to take a nap.

, not to mention how comfortable it is.

"Commander! There is no movement among the local warriors and the garrison in Guangzhou. The garrison outside the city has mobilized a regiment to free up barracks for the Third Marine Regiment." Sun Xing saw that Li Xiao was awake and hurried over to report to Li Xiao.

"I got it! I told the Third Regiment to be vigilant. If you are in a hurry, you can do anything." Li Xiao felt that the best result today is to make Yang He have a stroke. That way, everyone can be in harmony, Mr. Yang He

He was laid off due to health reasons. The imperial court will no longer establish the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. This last unstable factor entrenched in the land of China will be completely resolved.

"No!" Sun Xing agreed, turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Li Xiao was not too worried about Yang He jumping over the wall. The Marines were only one kilometer away from him. Although they were not equipped with Aka rifles, they were equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns. There were also thirty-six mortars. In terms of firepower,

, the entire army of Guangzhou city combined is not as good as the two battalions of the Third Marine Regiment. What's more, there are two ironclad ships parked in Guangzhou Port. The 380mm triple main gun is not a decoration, the thick Guangzhou city wall,

Just one artillery shell can poke a hole. Each marine regiment is equipped with an artillery battalion, equipped with tactical-level 120mm howitzers.

In fact, Mr. Yu once suggested adding a 105mm caliber between the 80mm mortar and the howitzer. However, Li Xiao rejected it. Although this would cause some waste of surplus firepower, this logistics officer

Guarantee provides great convenience.

The 60mm mortar has completely withdrawn from the stage of history and been replaced by a grenade. This thing is completely carried by the infantry. Its attack range is between 300 meters and 800 meters, which is completely beyond the range of the rifle. It fills the gap of the 80mm mortar.

The fire vacuum between the cannon and the rifle!

At present, the Liao army only uses two calibers of artillery shells, one is the 80mm mortar shell, and the other is the 120mm howitzer shell. Cannons with flat trajectories are now also included in the elimination list.

Anyway, the more unified the calibers of artillery shells and bullets are, the better. This will be very convenient for the army's logistical supply.

Li Xiao, who had witnessed the army supplies of later generations, knew how important supplies were when a real large army fought.

In order to free up barracks for the Third Marine Regiment, the Guangzhou garrison vacated an entire division's barracks.

There was no way, the Marine Corps was formed based on the field division. The establishment of a regiment was larger than a division of the garrison, and the barracks of a division were full of people. There were also two companies in it, responsible for the peripheral security of Li Xiao's station.

Live in Li Xiao’s residence!

After the Marines were stationed, they immediately entered a wartime state. Guns and ammunition were distributed to individual soldiers, and each soldier had 200 rounds of ammunition and five rounds of grenades in his backpack. The cooking class not only cooked hot meals themselves, but also distributed food to each soldier.

A pack of individual soldier rations is enough for one person to consume for two days without any logistical supplies. Everyone filled their water bottles, and the whole regiment was already in a battle-ready state.

But for a whole day, nothing happened. The entire garrison inside and outside Guangzhou made no move except to provide barracks for Li Xiao. Li Yongfang, who was ambushing in the city undercover, even went to see the ammunition depot.

Not to mention the bullets, even the gun was well locked in the ammunition depot. There was never an order to open the ammunition depot and fire the gun.

All signs indicate that Yang He is ready to pinch his nose and admit it, and go to Hangzhou to retire.

It’s night! According to past practice, Guangzhou City closes its city gates an hour after the sun goes down. Although the city gates are closed, the habits developed by Guangzhou people over the years cannot be closed. The streets are full of people and all kinds of snacks.

The night market formed was even more crowded.

Around Kabukicho, there was even more singing and dancing, and women's unrestrained laughter could be heard far away. Everything was no different from usual. This was an extremely ordinary night.

People in Guangzhou don't like to use the clocks of people in Beijing, and there are still twelve hours every day. As soon as Haishi arrives, someone rushes into the military camp on flying horses. The officers who received the order immediately ordered the weapons depot to be opened and weapons distributed.

Those officers who are usually regarded as unreliable will have good luck tonight. They may be treated to drinks by old comrades, or they may be invited by good friends. Some of the guys sent by the Liao Army do not smoke or drink on weekdays, and they do not

Good friends suddenly disappeared one after another, and no one knew where they went. If you want to know, it is probably best to ask the King of Hell.

As the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi for more than ten years, he has turned Guangdong and Guangxi into the world of the Yang family. To the outside world, Yang He always said that he was from Hangzhou, but in fact he only went to Hangzhou to study after he became an adult. His real hometown is Sien, Guangxi

Like the famous chieftain who was forced to self-immolate to death, his surname is Yang. The reason why his surname is Yang is not because his family is the descendant of Yang Laolinggong, but because his family is also a chieftain. In total, Bozhou

Yang Yinglong is still a relative in his family.

In the thousands of years of history of Chinese civilization, the Han nation has actually never stopped expanding its territory. It took the Han nation several thousand years to develop from the original Kyushu in the Central Plains to the current huge territory.

Different from other rapidly expanding empires, although the expansion of the Han nation is slow, its foundation is very solid. It belongs to the type that once established, it will not leave. Once it enters the Chinese territory, it will be difficult to get out.

Of course, the expansion of the Han nation is not always unfavorable. When it comes to remote areas, or deep mountains and old forests, which are really unsuitable for living but where mountain people live, the imperial court often cannot send officials.

Come manage!

The reason is very simple, where there is no shit, there is oil and water. I am not an official because of feelings, but for the sake of honoring my ancestors and improving the quality of family life. Feelings! Anyone who talks about feelings without talking about interests is just a hooligan.

.

The emperor keeps his word, but he cannot act like a hooligan on a regular basis.

However, there are always smart people in the court. They invented a unique species called chieftain to help the court manage people in these remote areas. They accepted the emperor's seal and managed this area on behalf of the emperor. In this way, the court could save money without increasing expenses.

situation, declare sovereignty over the situation in this region.

Starting from the Tang Dynasty, this good way of getting things done without spending money began to be promoted. Those who benefited the most were the toasts in the northwest and southwest.

Anyone who can become a chieftain is generally a big shot in the local area. Not to mention stomping his feet and trembling, he is definitely good at talking. In order to win over people's hearts, the imperial court not only allows them high official positions, but also their official positions are acceptable.

Hereditary. (For example, Nurhachi is the hereditary Jianzhou Guard, and he is the General Longhu who is worshiped by the imperial court.)

The leadership level of the emperors of the Zhu family was very high, and the chieftain system developed by leaps and bounds in the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the chieftains not only did not receive wages, but were also responsible for protecting the country and the people, and when necessary, sent troops to help the Ming Dynasty fight. What is even more outrageous is that,

You have to pay filial piety to the emperor every year. If you don't give enough gifts, you will be scolded by the emperor and threatened to take away your hereditary status.

Many chieftain comrades were inspired to take root in the border areas. For the border defense of the motherland, they devoted their youth without hesitation. Moreover, they dedicated their youth to their entire lives and their entire lives to their descendants.

Comrade Nurhaci, who made a lot of noises, once followed Li Rusong to fight in North Korea, and it is said that he had quite a record. He made outstanding contributions to ensuring the territorial integrity of the North Korean people and fighting against Japanese imperialism.

The Yang family is such a chieftain, and they are among the indigenous chieftains with the highest status and the most authority. In Sien Prefecture, Guangxi, the status of the Yang He family even surpassed that of Yang Yinglong.

With such a foundation, Yang He has already regarded Guangdong and Guangxi as his own territory. Now Li Xiao wants to intervene and directly depose his governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, which has touched Yang He's bottom line. Since the bottom line has been overturned,

Then just stop doing it and keep doing it, and do it to your mother's sake.

All the soldiers in Guangzhou Prefecture were mobilized, and guns were quickly distributed to everyone. Soldiers with guns quickly took to the streets to enforce martial law. The streets, which had been bustling just a moment ago, were immediately filled with screams and cries.

"Father, the streets have been cleaned. All the identified spies of Li Xiao have been killed. Now we have all our people in the army and can attack Li Xiao at any time. But... our weapons are not as good as Li Xiao's.

Xiao's Marine Corps may have to pay a high price." Yang He's son Yang Zhongwu is the commander of the Guangzhou Garrison Division and once studied at the Shanhaiguan Army Officer School. His father and elder brother did not know the power of advanced weapons, but he knew it in his heart.

Very.

"We have ten times the number of them, and we have the determination to die generously. Second brother! The arrow is already on the string and has to be fired. If you don't do it, tomorrow your military power will be taken over by people sent by Li Xiao. Then you

The eldest brother and I will also be deposed from their official positions, and our whole family will be taken to Hangzhou by Li Xiao's Liao soldiers.

He said it nicely, but there is no need to live a long life. In fact, our family became prisoners when we arrived in Hangzhou. People who are unfamiliar with the place are not allowed to do whatever they want. Don't have any illusions. Ten thousand people will die today.

Ten thousand people, as long as Li Xiao is killed, the capital will immediately be in chaos. Li Xiao's two brothers are overseas and will not be able to come back in time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I joined forces with the governors of the five southeastern provinces to declare the Li family to be rebellious. When the time comes, we will help King Gui ascend the throne, and our family will be the heroes of Conglong. For the sake of the family's glory and future, tonight's events cannot be missed.

"Yang He hurriedly cheered up his son who was leading the army. His attitude was related to the success or failure of the evening.

Yang Zhongwu nodded. The situation his father said was within his expectations. Li Xiao has made his attitude clear today, and the commander is not doing well. If there is a silent compromise, it will really be a man-made attack in the future.

I am fish.

"I understand, Dad! Don't worry, we will kill Li Xiao no matter what today. Even if we sacrifice all the soldiers in Guangzhou, my son will do it for you."

"Okay!" Yang He was so excited that the age spots on his face shone brightly. This matter is related to the future of thousands of people in the Yang family.

At 11:10 p.m., there was no one on the streets of Guangzhou City. From time to time, groups of soldiers ran through the streets. Residents were not allowed to go out on the streets for any reason. If anyone walked on the streets, those who had their heads wrapped with

The guy wearing black cloth and all black was stabbed in the head.

The dead are the best warning. Those eyes lying in the cracks of windows and doors were trembling with fear when they saw the corpses. Guangzhou city has not suffered a military disaster in hundreds of years, and the last time the strong people rioted, it did not hit Guangzhou city.

People in Guangzhou have not seen such killings for countless generations!

No one dared to go out for a stroll anymore, and those guys who dared to yell at the soldiers just now shut up. It’s really murderous! Who is not afraid!

Everything went very smoothly, and the streets of the huge Guangzhou City were cleared in just over an hour. Those Li Yongfang's men who were found out were all killed without asking any questions. After Guangzhou City was quickly cleared, the troops in the city began to gather.

.

Li Xiao's station twenty miles away was very quiet, and they didn't seem to notice the changes in Guangzhou.

The militia recruited by the Yang family in the city, plus the regular garrison, totaled 50,000 people. This does not include the rural warriors outside the city!

The local warriors recruited by the Yang family are all soldiers recruited by the Yang family from their hometown in Guangxi. The folk customs in Guangxi are fierce, and various ethnic groups live together, and clans fight constantly. The people here have all developed a brave and fierce character. In addition,

With a good body built through hard work all day long, all of them are good candidates to serve as soldiers.

The ancestors of these soldiers fought desperately for the Ming Dynasty and Japanese pirates on the southeast coast during the Jiajing period. Their names at that time were - wolf soldiers!

Boxes of brand new rifles were opened, and the oil seals of many rifles had not yet been opened. Yang Zhongwu used his connections to buy them from the Jinan Arsenal. On weekdays, they only used some of the rifles for training, which made people think that they did not have many rifles.

In the market, Yang Zhongwu has successively bought more than 10,000 rifles from Jinan over the years.

These wolf soldiers have used this kind of advanced rifle on daily basis, and are no strangers to the guys in their hands. It's just a pity that they can't calibrate the rifle now. They are carrying a brand-new rifle, fifty rounds of ammunition and two grenades.

The gate of Guangzhou City opened with a bang. There were no shouts, no impassioned lectures, and no slogans. Yang Zhongwu waved his hand and took the lead in galloping out of Guangzhou City on his horse.

The wolf soldiers behind him rushed to the front. No one in the entire team lit a torch, and the horses' hooves were all wrapped in cloth. The iron tools on their bodies were also carefully tied up.
