Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 83 Storm vortex

Qinghe Fu City was full of joyous songs and laughter. Although it had been a day and night of hard fighting, several facilities in the Fu City were not damaged much. Although the Taiping Army destroyed a lot of the city walls and defense systems when they were about to evacuate, they did not affect the city. However, the streets and buildings inside have not been damaged much. Except for the looting before leaving, everything else is still intact.

Released when the imperial flag of Double Dragon Opera and Pearl floated over the top of Qinghe City again, the gentry of Qinghe Mansion came out from everywhere one after another, and the residents of Qinghe Mansion City, driven by the gentry and merchants, spent only a few days. In one day, several roads in Qinghefu City were cleaned up, and red lanterns were hung on the gates of the houses of gentry and merchants to celebrate the restoration of Qinghe.

Published "Gentlemen and ladies, fellow fathers and folks, today is a day worth celebrating. We are here to celebrate that our Qinghe Prefecture in Beiyuan County has recovered from the Taiping Rebels and returned to the embrace of the empire. During this period of time Many places in the empire have fallen into the clutches of the Taiping rebels. The empire has encountered unprecedented difficulties, but the empire has never given up on caring for the gentry and common people in the occupied areas. The rebels were expelled from this land, making this fertile fertile land bright again. This is only the first step for our city guards to recover Beiyuan County. In the days to come, we will step by step along the established layout. to launch the final attack on the Taiping Rebellion, and finally achieve the restoration of the entire empire. Victory belongs to us, and glory belongs to the empire!" Yousuf blushed, standing on the first floor of Qinghe Fucheng Hongbin Tower to make a speech , bossing around, looking at the gentry and businessmen in the audience with smiles all over their faces, their eyes full of admiration and admiration, this feeling is even better than drinking ice dew in June.

Published "General Yusuf said it well, the empire has not forgotten us, Qinghe Prefecture can escape from the sea of ​​suffering today, thanks to General Yusuf and all the officers and soldiers of the City Guard Corps, as the saying goes, a sword is given to a martyr, and a toast Heroes, come, come, everyone, let us express our heartfelt thanks to all the people of Qinghe Prefecture to all the officers and soldiers of the Imperial City Guard Corps by drinking freely from our cups! Please!" The president of the Chamber of Commerce of Qinghe Prefecture had already catered to the complacent Yusuf's flattery made Yusuf even more elated.

Release Toasts and cups were intertwined, and just as the singing and singing and swallows were dancing happily, a soldier with a flustered expression sneaked into the banquet hall, looking for the lord of the legion. It was so easy to invite the commander-in-chief out of a group of young women and noble ladies. Although Yusuf was full of displeasure, when he saw that the soldiers were from the scout team he personally sent, he felt a chill in his heart, and a bad premonition had already arrived Heart rises.

Release "What's all the fuss about?" Yousuf asked Su Rong after calming down his emotions.

Issuing "Legion Commander, something is not right. According to the information we collected in the north, the Kamanians and Puer people jointly dispatched troops to Yulin and Yunzhong. Both Yulin and Yunzhong have fallen, and the Kamanian army is moving southward quickly. , by the time the intelligence personnel sent the letter back, the Kamanian army had already approached the northern border of Qinghe Mansion!" Although under the stern gaze of the regiment commander, the scouts could no longer hide anything at this time, and simply got the The information spit out.

There was a crisp sound of "beep", although Yusuf is considered a person who has experienced some storms, but he still couldn't bear such a sudden bad news. No longer caring about his loss of composure, he grabbed the scout's chest like a madman and asked viciously, "What did you say? What did you say? How dare you lie about the military situation?! How could the Kaman people attack Yulin? Are they the same as the Taiping Rebellion Party?" How can a raccoon of a feather attack an ally's territory?"

Announced, "My lord, the situation is absolutely true, and my subordinates dare not conceal it. It is said that the Kamanians and Puer people have jointly dispatched troops. Although the number of troops is unknown, it is estimated to exceed any previous one. Please make preparations early." Scout Although panicked, at this moment he could only shrink his neck helplessly and let the leader of the army scold him.

Released in a daze and let go of his hand, Yusuf's face turned pale. He had already agreed with the other party's statement in his heart, but he subconsciously didn't want to admit it. The blow was too big and it came at a really bad time. Slowly recalling why the 80,000 Taiping troops withdrew from Qinghefu city so easily. It turned out that they had already received information about the Kamanian invasion at that time, but he was still complacent about occupying Qinghefu like a fool, and even thought The combat power of his army has really increased a lot out of thin air. There is a joint explanation why the city walls, gates and city defense facilities were destroyed by the Taiping Sect. Make yourself unable to rely on Qinghe Fucheng to compete with the Kaman army going south.

Release Rubbing his forehead in despair, Yusuf, who drank two more glasses of wine, felt dizzy and staggered.

Release "Legion commander! What's wrong with you?" The scout was taken aback. shouted.

Release Yusuf's mind was confused, what should he do? Hearing the scouts exclaim, he looked around and found that this was still on the side of the banquet hall. Fortunately, no one saw his gaffe, otherwise he didn't know how much trouble would be caused.

Issuing "Go call the guards, I'll go back to the commander's mansion first! Let the guards pass on my orders, and let the heads of all divisions come to my mansion immediately to discuss matters without delay!" Don't panic, otherwise, the gentry and merchants in Qinghe Mansion will find out that it will be really difficult for you to get out.

Release A gloomy atmosphere enveloped the entire meeting room. A group of people sat silently in their positions, either smoking or holding teacups in a daze. The sound of Sufu's creaking leather boots on the floor was extremely ear-piercing.

Announced "Everyone, don't just sit here and talk about your own opinions. Time waits for no one. It won't be long before the old and young in Qinghe Mansion will know the news. When the time comes, the situation will be passive, but we won't be able to help it." Sitting on the top left is Zhang Jinfu, Yusuf's chief of staff. You can hear his inclination in his words. If he doesn't leave, he won't be able to leave.

Published "Master Zhang means that we should withdraw to the east now? But where should we withdraw? Unless we return to the imperial capital, the distance from Qinghe to the imperial capital is completely flat. The infantry has suffered a lot. Our army is mainly light armored infantry, and the scale of heavy infantry is not large. How can we resist? The Kamanians must have surpassed our city guard army this time, so we still want to Isn't it the same as sending to death in a stalemate with the Kamans in the plains?" A tall and thin man put forward his own opinion, "Or we can retreat to the city of the imperial capital and join forces with the third and fourth legions, maybe there is still a fight. "

Issuing "Return to the imperial capital? Can you return to the imperial capital in this situation? If you go back, maybe the soldiers can escape this disaster. I'm afraid that everyone here will only have to go to the military court! The news of Qinghe's recovery is probably over. Was it published in the major newspapers in the imperial capital today? In a blink of an eye, we left the people of Qinghe Prefecture and fled without a fight, and fled back to the imperial capital without a fight. Isn’t this going to be hanged by ourselves?” The person sitting first on the right He is a thin old man, and he is also the veteran of the City Guard Corps. The deputy commander of the City Guard Corps, Deng Yuanbiao, speaks in a strange way, and he has always been at odds with the legion commander Yusuf. He had originally disapproved of Yusuf launching the Qinghe Battle for performance, but now he fell into a trap and was in a dilemma, which made him extremely dissatisfied.

Release "However, Mr. Deng, it may not be easy to defend Qinghe Mansion. Before leaving, the Taiping Army has already destroyed many walls of the West Gate and South Gate. It will take less than half a month to repair them. Moreover, the Taiping army also destroyed the catapults and crossbows on the city wall. Now Qinghe Mansion is basically an undefended city. How to defend it? Besides, we don't know exactly how many Kaman people went south. But according to the estimates of my subordinates, the number of them will definitely exceed our army! If this battle is really going to be fought in Qinghe Mansion, I'm afraid we will be too strong." The person who spoke was a division commander, and he expressed the concerns of many people.

After the announcement, Yusuf felt even more irritable when he heard the quarrel among the cadres. Just like the old man Deng Yuanbiao said~IndoMTL.com~ Now the big report on the restoration of Qinghe may have appeared in the major newspapers and periodicals of the empire. But he fled back in desperation, afraid that losing his position would be a trivial matter, or it would be his fate to be hanged. But if you want to fight, you are not sure. Once you are trapped in Qinghefu City by the Kamans, the whole army may be wiped out. Unless the third and fourth legions come to help with all your strength, but I and His Royal Highness already have such a little bit of trouble in their hearts. Tower, will he let the only force in his hands that is completely under his control come to his rescue? Yusuf was not at all sure.

Release, but now I'm afraid I can only gamble, the fate of retreating can be predicted, and the worst result of fighting is the same as the ending of retreating, so it's not as good as betting his mother's bet, Even if death can lead to a heroic name, it is far better than going back to the gallows with your tail between your legs. If Situ Lang considers his usefulness and the pressure from the public opinion from the whole empire, maybe he will really let the third and fourth legions come. Save yourself.

Published "Enough, I've made up my mind, it's not my style, Yusuf, to retreat like a bear, and it's not what you want to face the gallows under the military law, so why don't we just stay here in Qinghe Mansion and The Kamanians like to play a game of roulette of fate to see who wins and loses. As for reinforcements, I will immediately send someone to the imperial capital to ask for reinforcements from the third and fourth legions, and I believe His Highness Ninth Prince will not sit idly by." He revealed his relationship with His Highness the Ninth Prince to cheer up his subordinates, but only he knew what was going on inside.

After arranging the work of a group of cadres, Yusuf stood in the living room with a complicated expression and pondered for a long time, recruited a person, ordered his personal adjutant to hand over a bank note to the other person, and then whispered, just listen The vague words of "Empire Express" and "Daily Express" were faintly audible.
