But the former always suffered heavy casualties and killed few enemies.
This time, through the trench to protect them, their bows and arrows can keep shooting foreigners. Instead, foreigners risked their lives for distance. By the time the foreigners finally rushed to the front of the trench, the villagers had already retreated to the back trench through the connected tunnels.
By giving up five trenches in this way, they killed four or five hundred British soldiers and lost very little. According to Chen Zhiting, foreigners will choose to retreat after such a big loss, but this time the foreigners’ attitude is extremely firm and they will continue to advance to Shajing Market.
Finding himself miscalculated, Chen Zhiting ordered Xiang Yong to fight bitterly with foreigners in the last trench for an hour, and finally lost more than 300 people in World War I.
Xiang Yong can’t afford to die
Just as Xiang can’t afford to die, it’s not that these people die, and the pension is not measured by money. According to Zeng Guofan himself, Xiang’s war is called "hard-walled and dull-fought", and the camp is always strengthened step by step, with little rashness and less assault. When attacking Tianjing, Xiang did not hesitate to besiege Tianjing for half a year.
Because Xiang, a clan armed force, has a remarkable feature, that is, it is often composed of clansman Zeng Guofan, and a general leads soldiers who are all generals, and all of them are recruited by their village youth. If the army is allowed to risk their lives and attack a regiment, the loss will not be great, but it is likely that the village youth will be cut off.
This kind of uprooted casualties is estimated by the clan armed law, because it is a moral achievement, not an economic achievement. The moral account can be counted clearly, but it is not.
This is what Chen Zhiting is facing now. This time, foreigners besieged the manhole, and he mobilized all the rural brave people around the manhole. They have already died in Xin’ an City. This time, Chen took the lead in suppressing all the young people. The defeat of Xin’ an City continued to hurt the family. This time, every death of these young people may mean that the relatives in one room will cut off the incense.
Chen Zhiting really can’t stand this moral pressure. After throwing 300 people in the last ditch, he ordered to retreat to the streets of Shajing Market. Fortunately, Zhu Jinglun left a cannon at the back of Hongsheng Temple and gave it to them. When everyone retreated into Shajing Market.
However, the back hill was covered by British naval guns, and soon it was dumb. Not to mention, the manhole market was almost a hell, and the Hongsheng Temple and the Tianhou Temple were destroyed
After that, the British infantry artillery road camped in Shajing Market step by step, and the rural brave couldn’t find the opportunity of close combat, and was finally forced to withdraw from Shajing and retreat all the way to the east.
Every step they take back, Chen Zhiting’s heart will shed a drop of blood. Every step they take back, a village will be trampled by foreigners. But I can watch my brothers watch these lands bleed blood. Why can’t I step back again and again?
I’ve been retreating to the sentry post, and I can’t retreat any more. This is Chen Zhiting Village. It’s not that he can’t bear to part with the destruction of his village, but because it’s always been the clan’s long-term residence. The long-term residence here is to take care of the ancestral temple. How can Chen’s ancestral temple be retired here?
The Chens can’t give up their land, let alone their ancestors. One is that they can take root and the other is their hometown of peace of mind.
There are ancestors in the ancestral hall. Of course, we can’t give up. If we give up the ancestral hall at Gangtou, can we give up the Xinqiao ancestral grave behind Gangtou? So this is the last bottom line for their retreat.
Chen Zhiting, who fled here with less than a hundred people, worshipped his ancestors, married the Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty and the princess Chen Menglong, who was also their Chen Xu’s horse house. After Chen came from his ancestors, he decided to die here in a bloody battle with the remnant people and was finally buried here.
The British army was very close, well-equipped and sharp-armed. gangtou couldn’t stop the houses from collapsing, and one brother died. But whenever the British were near the ancestral temple, Chen’s brother risked his life to charge them and beat them back again and again.
This time, Chen Zhiting almost mobilized the whole manhole, Chen’s green kitchen, Zhoujia village, the pavilion in front of the crossing stream tower, and the theory of distance and distance, the rich and the poor can come, and their brothers and sisters may all come and die.
The British army almost surrounded the ancestral hall of the Sima house, and Chen Zhiting was already confessing to his ancestors. Suddenly he heard a loud gong and shouts.
Then he heard his brother report to him that "the Zeng family is coming"
The Zeng family is a big family in Xinqiao, where the Zeng family ancestral hall is located. The distant relatives are not as close to the Zeng family ancestral hall as the foreigners.
Brother also reported that "Shiqiao is coming!"
Shiqiao is still in Dongguan, near the manhole. This is also a Chen clan.
Soon someone said, "Nanshan is coming."
It is said that the Zhou family, the Ma family and the Li family have come to help.
Finally, when I heard someone say that "the ghost has escaped", Chen Zhiting couldn’t help crying and kept chanting the blessings of his ancestors!
Section 101 Financial Operation
The shadow outside the door is Fangshan Zhu Jinglun, who has been waiting for him to signal himself.
What signal does the British army withdraw? When the British army withdraws, it is time for them to leave, and it will be successful to rescue Zhao from Wei.
It’s never occurred to Zhu Jinglun that it’s really a decisive battle with the British main force here.
He knows very well that these heavy smokers in his hand have not been able to queue up and shoot the British lobster soldiers yet, that is, no matter how much heavy smoke they are given, it is impossible to kill the British soldier every time. All kinds of conditions are combined to face the gongs and drums, and it is not possible to do it at this time
"Withdraw all horses and return to Xin ‘an!"
Going out to meet Fangshan confirmed the news, which immediately made him not want to fight with the British army, but also worried that the British army would not take advantage of its own no longer copying Xin’ an City. I can’t guarantee that the British army won’t.
This is Zhu Jinglun’s real intention to give himself money from Yang De, which is a windfall, not for nothing.
He had already let Xin ‘an City watch over there. Once the British fleet retreated, he immediately reported to Fangshan, waiting to send a signal to Zhu Jinglun after receiving the news. Receiving the signal means that the foreign warships have passed Xin ‘an and can arrive in Hong Kong at any time. You know, the foreign ships are not much slower than horses.
Even if foreigners return to Hong Kong to rectify the army’s attack, they still need enough time to let themselves run away.
More than 2,000 people returned to the villages along the route of their arrival, and they were quite disappointed. Many of these people really came to fight Hong Kong, such as Deng Jiaxiang, Kowloon Peninsula. They hated foreigners.
Because the Deng family is a big family in Kowloon, they also rented their land to some tenants in Hong Kong. As a result, after the cession of Hong Kong, the British Hong Kong government registered the land on the basis of the title deed. If there is no title deed, it will give the government food according to the tax payment record. The tenants are responsible for collecting the rent. As a result, those tenants registered those fields in their names with the record of finished grain.
After Deng’s landlord went to Hong Kong Island to collect rent like that, he was rejected by the other party. After that, he complained to Xin ‘an yamen. The magistrate sent an official to collect rent, but was detained by the British Hong Kong government and told the yamen that they had no jurisdiction over Hong Kong. After that, Deng went to Hong Kong court to file a lawsuit and failed.
In fact, they don’t care about the ownership of the land in the first quarter of rent, which is equivalent to taking away their land. Deng Xiaoping believes that foreigners are those hateful accomplices and foreigners cover up their land.
Especially after many complaints, it is no longer the land, but a kind of anger against injustice. They hate foreigners and hate them to the bone.
As a result, Zhu Jinglun said with great fanfare that he would come to fight foreigners, but much cry and little rain. How could they not be disappointed? Of course, they didn’t suffer a loss and ate a full meal.
When Zhu Jinglun came, he dallied with the banner and made a lot of noise. When he returned, he was unusually low-key, but his speed was not slow. He ran all the way
However, it was already midnight when I returned to Xin ‘an City, and Zhu Jinglun was greatly relieved that foreigners didn’t come to Xin ‘an.
At this time, he didn’t think about the draft. The thing is who to give it to, and he hesitated.
Now Zhu Jinglun is in urgent need of a sum of money to rescue Bai Gui, and there is only 12,000 yuan left for those money. Although he is allowed to set up a check-post, it is not known that he can receive Likin in years to come. What is urgent is to get money quickly, otherwise there will be no money to pay the soldiers next month.
You can give it to Fangshan, but he can read, but can this person rest assured?
Wealth is touching. Isn’t it just to seek wealth if Fangshan is a big family like the Chen family? He’s not worried about Fangshan running away, but Fangshan Root is a bachelor wandering around the Jianghu. What should I do if the fortune teller runs away after greed?
Hard to explore Fangshan psychology.
"Fangshan, you followed me for a while, and the official didn’t send it to you to get a birth. After this, the official will help you donate a backup in Xin’ anzha heel."
