In this day and age, the means of information transmission were very limited. Other than newspapers, there were also telegrams!
Due to the slow delivery of newspapers, it was difficult to understand many things in time.
As for the telegram, when Fengshan learned of the news in Jiang City, he immediately sealed the telegram room and strictly controlled the transmission of this news.
Therefore, other than Li Donghan, who had received the news long ago, the others had no idea that the situation in Hubei had changed drastically.
Flower City was still as prosperous as it used to be, but there was an undercurrent!
Not long after, the people in the city realized that many patrol soldiers were actually running out of the city.
These patrol battalions were usually in charge of the city defense of Huacheng. In addition to the work of the urban management team, it was normal for them to bully the commoners.
However, such a large-scale operation was very rare. Therefore, many people were surprised when they saw this situation and discussed it secretly!
"From the looks of it, the patrol camp seems to be going to war. I wonder where they're going?”
"They went to the north gate. Could it be that they are going to exterminate bandits?”
"Just them? Suppressing bandits? As long as you don't surrender in fear!" Someone said disdainfully.
"That's right! Weren't they just a bunch of bandits?”
~~~~~~
Although the discussions in Huacheng were filled with disdain for the patrol unit, it did not affect Ta Shan's mood.
Riding on the horse and looking at his patrol camp behind him, Ta Shan felt that today was the happiest day he had been in these few days!
Not long after he finished his breakfast, he received an order from Fengshan to summon him. Of course, he did not dare to delay and hurried over.
However, he did not expect that this would give him a complete surprise. Fengshan actually asked him to bring people to seize the new army's weapons!
He also gave him a joint warrant from the General and Governor's Office, allowing Na Qi to replace Li Donghan as the 49th Assistant Chief.
Li Donghan was stripped of his official position!
This was wonderful for Tashan. He still remembered how Li Donghan did not give him face at the Wanchun Building!
He was thinking about how to get back at her, but he didn't expect to get an opportunity so soon!
Li Donghan had no military power in his hands, so what was there to be afraid of? She had to return all the humiliation that Li Donghan had given her.
Moreover, Li Donghan's family was very rich. Ta Shan had long been jealous. He wanted to make a good profit this time!
In any case, there were many benefits for him in this matter! He did not even think about whether Li Donghan would disobey orders and refuse to hand over power!
What if the new army resisted when they confiscated their weapons? In Ta Shan's mind, the world still belonged to the Qing Dynasty. Did Li Donghan still want to rebel?
Just think about the results of the new army last year. How miserable their fate was, it was all the credit of their patrol camp! Therefore, Ta Shan was full of confidence in this operation!
He had thought that the patrol battalion under his leadership would be able to fight!
It was also Fengshan's fault for not telling Tashan about Jiang City in order to prevent the news from leaking. Otherwise, Tashan might have to consider it!
"Hurry up! Hurry up and run!" Ta Shan shouted at his subordinates. With a happy mood, he rushed to the North Drill Ground camp!
At the North Drill Ground camp, after Li Donghan gave the order, it was completely cordoned off. All the soldiers were given bullets.
Two Maxim machine guns were set up in front of the door. This was something that Li Donghan had specially requested when he had established Section 98. At this time, the machine guns often malfunctioned and were not taken seriously! However, he knew how powerful machine guns were.
Even if there were many shortcomings, he still had to equip himself with machine guns. The entire 49th Association had 12 machine guns!
The cannons were all pulled out, and the entire camp looked as if they were facing a great enemy.
Although many soldiers did not know what had happened, when they joined the 49th Association, the most common thing they were told was: It was a soldier's duty to obey orders!
The commander told them to do this, and they had to do it! As for the newly recruited soldiers, they were no longer inexperienced. After more than a month of exterminating bandits, their hands were stained with human lives.
After crossing this hurdle, they were the most qualified warriors!
At this moment, the three of them also vaguely felt that something was wrong. Li Donghan did not look like he was ready to suppress the rebels at any time.
Na Qi wanted to go to the General's Estate to report some matters, but he was also stopped by the soldiers guarding the door. They said that without the order of the Chief, no one was allowed to enter or leave.
However, he only had the title of Commander Biao, but he did not have the authority to do so. He could not command anyone, and the other two were the same.
In his anger, he went to the headquarters again. When he entered, he saw Li Donghan, Jiang Fangzhen, and eight other officers.
This made Qi even angrier. Was this a military meeting or something? Why didn't they let him see her?
Moreover, these people were all Li Donghan's confidants. It was because of them that Qi could not control the 97th target!
Qi walked in with an imposing manner and said to Li Donghan,""Lord Xie Tong, I want to know what is going on. Why can't I go out?”
Li Donghan sat in his seat and looked at Na Qi coldly. He said indifferently,"Didn't I say it? In order to prevent the Revolutionary Party from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, the camp was sealed off and no one was allowed to enter or leave!”
"I would like to ask, why did Milord go out? Could it be that he wanted to inform the revolutionary party?”
Upon hearing this, Qi was instantly furious. I'm going to inform the Revolutionary Party? I'm a Bannerman!
In fact, he felt that the atmosphere in the military camp was getting more and more strange. When he thought about how the 49th Association was completely under Li Donghan's control, he could not do anything about what Li Donghan wanted to do.
Therefore, for his safety, he felt that he could not stay in the military camp anymore. He wanted to run out, but he was immediately brought back by the soldiers!
In his anger, he came to look for Li Donghan. However, when he saw Li Donghan's expression, he instinctively felt that something was wrong! Fear was growing in his heart!
Seeing all the officers in the room staring at him expressionlessly, he had the urge to run away!
However, at this moment, an officer from the 1st Battalion rushed in and said to Li Donghan,""Sir, Ta Shan brought the patrol unit over! They came with ill intentions, and they even said that they had brought orders from the governor and the general!”
When Li Donghan heard this, his expression did not change at all. He said indifferently,"Let him in!"
