After listening to the words of his staff, Qi Xieyuan pretended to be calm and asked in a deep voice: "Where are Gong Bangduo's people? Where are the people I asked Gong Bangduo to send back?"
"We have already engaged Chen Leshan's rear," the staff officer said.
"How many troops have Gong Bangduo sent back? Is there any military report?" Qi Xieyuan asked.
"Three thousand people, one reorganizer." The staff officer had obviously done some homework.
"It's a pity that there is only one division. It's not enough, it's not enough!" Qi Xieyuan thought for a while and said: "Call Gong Bangduo and bring back half of the troops on the front line! Chen Leshan will definitely be killed under the walls of Nanjing!"
"But, but..."
"But what?" Qi Xieyuan's crooked eyes squinted at the staff officer.
"But what should we do on the Ninghu front line?"
"Nanjing is no longer safe, and Ninghu is captured. Do you want Gong Bangduo to be the commander-in-chief?" Qi Xieyuan said angrily.
The staff officer shuddered and dared not say anything more. He stood at attention and left quickly.
Seeing that all the generals under his command were busy, Qi Xieyuan waved to his adjutant, who hurried over and said: "Commander, you are looking for me."
Qi Xieyuan walked to the window and whispered: "Hurry back and take the madam, the eighth concubine, the ninth concubine, the eldest son, and the second young master. By the way, remind the madam to take the mahogany box I gave her, right away.
Withdraw from Nanjing and go to Pukou! There is the 14th Division in Pukou. Jin Yunja promised me that if I go to Pukou, he will definitely protect me..."
"Fushuai..." The adjutant had just finished listening to Qi Xieyuan's impassioned speech, and his blood was still boiling. He was thinking about living or dying with Nanjing, but why suddenly he wanted to run away again.
Qi Xieyuan looked at the smoke and dust outside the window with one eye, but the other eye squinted at the adjutant. Seeing Qi Xieyuan's eyes, the adjutant did not dare to say another word and quickly saluted.
Qi Xieyuan patted him on the shoulder and said gently: "Go and bring your family with you."
The commander-in-chief Qi Xieyuan who had made an impassioned speech just now disappeared. At this time, there was only a squinting warlord in the field. He did not send a message to the field and refused to surrender. It was not because of his military character, but because he wanted to use the strength of his soldiers.
Life is exchanged for more time to escape. Bring the beloved beauty, the flesh and blood to inherit the incense, and the people's fat and oil that have been harvested over the years. It doesn't matter if you are not a commander, you can still be popular, drink spicy food, and live a happy life!
Smart people will only advise others to die, but they themselves must live well. This is the truth that Qi Xieyuan has summarized over the years.
There was a loud noise, causing dust and dirt to fly from the roof beams.
"Commander Fu, it's not good. The division sent back by Commander Gong was defeated by Chen Leshan. Zhang Kai bombarded Nanjing City and collapsed the old city wall in the south!" The messenger sent a series of bad news.
Passed to Qi Xieyuan, Qi Xieyuan wished he could quickly grow wings and fly to the rear of Pukou. But he couldn't do it now, he had to stabilize his men here.
Qi Xieyuan picked up his gun, pushed the safety, and loaded the gun. He glanced around and said: "My colleagues, I, Qi Xieyuan, am willing to live and die with Nanjing! I want to go to the front line personally.
Fight bloody battles in every street and alley of Nanjing with the last bit of courage until death comes."
At this time, Qi Xieyuan was no longer the usual foul-mouthed warlord, elegant and sensational. He was simply the pastor and godfather in the church who praised God every day.
He took his own team of guards and left first. All the public officials looked at him with admiration.
"Ahem, cough, cough... the old guy is going to run away." A general covered his mouth with his hat and muttered to a colleague next to him. "Don't worry, if he runs, we will run too..."
The two looked at each other, lowered their heads, and went about their business.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Qi Xieyuan left, everything in the Supervisory Office was in chaos. Documents and papers were flying all over the sky, and everything that could be moved was moved. Warlords always come and go. No matter who is the commander-in-chief, the life of his family
But you have to get on with it. In these troubled times, no one who survives will be a fool.
The south of the city had been occupied by Zhang Kai's troops. Qi Xieyuan got into the car and asked the driver to go north until Nanjing Pier, where he could meet up with his family and take refuge in Pukou.
"Master..." As soon as Qi Xieyuan got out of the car, several Yingying Yanyan rushed towards him. Qi Xieyuan said angrily: "Why are you crying? I'm not taking you to live in peace!"
"Sir, Adjutant He rolled up your treasure box and boarded the boat you prepared and ran away!" the eighth aunt cried.
There was a buzz in Qi Xieyuan's head. Inside the mahogany box was Qi Xieyuan's entire net worth, a promissory note from Zhonghui Bank. Qi Xieyuan had been prepared for this day, so he invested almost all of his net worth into the bank, and the promissory note was
Huddled inside that mahogany box.
"Son of a bitch!" Qi Xieyuan was dumbfounded, and he yelled at He Yuan, "He Yuan, you son of a bitch, an unfaithful and unjust bastard, don't let me meet you again, or I will shoot you to death!
"
Everything was too late. The city of Nanjing had been lost. It was impossible to get out of the city gate. The only waterway was no longer crossable by boat. At this moment, Qi Xieyuan finally understood what it meant to have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. It seemed that God had already
He was determined to force Qi Xieyuan to death.
Qi Xieyuan saw several workers on the dock who had lost their jobs and wanted to go home. He greeted them: "Brothers, come here quickly!"
As soon as they heard someone saying hello, these workers didn't even think about it, and ran straight towards the well-dressed man.
Qi Xieyuan raised his pistol and fired three shots. All six workers were shot in the head and died on the spot.
The screams of several concubines were frightened by Qi Xieyuan's ferocious eyes, "If you want to survive, change quickly!" Qi Xieyuan took off his suit and quickly put on tattered work clothes. The concubines were not ashamed and squirmed.
He also changed his cheongsam into smelly rags.
"Let's go and follow the refugees out of the city!" Qi Xieyuan was just about to leave when he heard a series of whistles on the river. When he turned around, he saw a warship approaching slowly. Qi Xieyuan jumped suddenly. He didn't understand ships, and he didn't understand ships either.
It is not clear whether this ship is an enemy or a friend.
"Commander, this is the 14th Division. They said in flag language that they are from the 14th Division. They asked us if we are your men, Commander-in-Chief."
Qi Xieyuan suddenly escaped and felt refreshed. He quickly tore off his tattered clothes, kicked them away, straightened his collar, and said, "Tell them, I am Jiangsu Supervisor Qi Xieyuan!"
Pukou, the headquarters of the 14th Division of the Central Army
"Fart, what kind of distinguished guest made me wait outside for so two hours!" Qi Xieyuan waited in the reception room for two hours, but still did not see the shadow of Jin Yunja.
After the warship sent him to Pukou Pier, he left immediately. An adjutant led them here, but when he came, he told Qi Xieyuan that Commander Jin was meeting an important guest and asked him to wait a moment. Qi Xieyuan felt that Jin Yun
Jiao was somewhat kind to him, and it was understandable that he was putting on airs, so he sat down and waited for him with peace of mind. But who would have thought that Mr. Jin's airs were unusually big, and he had to wait for a full two hours.
, a pot of strong tea has been turned into white water.
The angry Qi Xieyuan kicked the private guarding outside the conference room door to the ground and kicked open the conference room door. Several men in military uniforms in the room were gesticulating and discussing something, and one of them was surrounded in the middle.
He suddenly raised his head, glanced at Qi Xieyuan coldly, and said, "Commander Fu, I said goodbye to Nanjing in the past. How are you doing?"
