The 101st Cavalry Regiment under the 101st Infantry Division headed straight for Kaifeng from Lushan County.
The Governor of Henan Province, Zhang Zhenfang, was at odds with Lei Zhenchun, the commander of the 7th Division of the Beiyang Army.
As a result, Zhang Zhenfang only controlled the strength of the patrol camp.
There were more than ten patrol battalions spread throughout the entire Yu Province. All of them added up to only about ten thousand people.
At Kai Feng, there were only two patrol battalions and a thousand people.
The 101st Cavalry Regiment hid during the day and went out at night. In just two days, they arrived at Kaifeng City.
On the morning of the 26th of May, 1812 AD, just as the sky had brightened and the gates of Kaifeng City had opened, Colonel Chen Gan, the commander of the 101st Cavalry Regiment, gave the order to attack.
At this moment, out of the three battalions of the cavalry regiment, two battalions were spread out and deployed in the other three directions of Kaifeng City.
Colonel Chen Gan personally led the 1st Battalion and the regimental headquarters to lie in ambush in the west of the city.
As soon as the city gates opened, Colonel Chen Gan gave the order to attack.
Thousands of cavalrymen rushed toward the west gate of Kaifeng City.
The city gates opened, and the patrolling soldiers yawned as they stood guard on both sides.
To the soldiers of the patrol camp, guarding the city gate was a tough job. Usually, only those who had no connections or were old, weak, sick or disabled would be sent here. Their alertness and combat strength were naturally not that great.
When the 101st Cavalry Regiment arrived at the city gate, the patrolling soldiers finally reacted.
However, they didn't close the city gates. Instead, they scattered in all directions.
This allowed the 101st Cavalry Regiment to easily break into Kaifeng City.
Colonel Chen Gan left a platoon behind to take over the city gate. The other troops headed straight for the Governor's Office.
When the army entered the city, the entire Opening Peak was thrown into chaos.
As the Governor of Henan Province, Zhang Zhenfang also received the news immediately.
"What is it? A rebel army entered the city? How was this possible? Where did the rebel army come from in Henan Province? This was not the front line of the confrontation between the north and the south. It was also impossible for the Southern Barbarians 'army to cross E Province and Wan Province and attack Yu Province directly.”Zhang Zhenfang's face was filled with disbelief.
"Commander-in-chief, it's Second Young Master Yuan's troops, the cavalry of the 101st Infantry Division.”the subordinate replied.
"What is it? Second Young Master Yuan? What did he want to do? Rebellion? I'm related to the Yuan family!”Zhang Zhenfang was still in disbelief.
One had to know that his sister was married to Big Head Yuan's brother.
It was also because of this relationship that he was very loyal to Yuan Datou.
That was why he became the governor of Henan Province.
"Governor, I don't know. However, the current situation is urgent. The Governor should leave Kai Peak first!”the subordinate suggested.
Zhang Zhenfang nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, that's right. Let's leave first. I will definitely report this matter to the Grand President.”Zhang Zhenfang nodded repeatedly.
Just as Zhang Zhenfang was about to escape Kaifeng with her confidants, she discovered that the entire Kaifeng City was surrounded by Yuan Kewen's army.
Although there were not many of them, they were enough to surround Kaifeng City.
If the 7th Infantry Division stationed in Henan Province were to move out, the 101st Cavalry Regiment might not be able to take down the entire Kaifeng.
But the problem was that the 7th Infantry Division did not move!
This made Zhang Zhenfang a turtle in a jar, and he was quickly captured by the 101st Cavalry Regiment.
"What do you want? I am the Governor of Henan Province, the trusted aide of the Grand President. Are you trying to rebel?”
After Zhang Zhenfang was caught, she still acted very arrogantly.
However, these soldiers would not let him be.
She stuffed a rag into his mouth, making him unable to speak.
At this moment, Yuan Kewen had already brought Yang Du, under the protection of the guards, to the opening of the peak.
The Northern Army's 7th Infantry Division had already sensed that something was wrong in Kaifeng City.
"Commander, what is Second Young Master Yuan trying to do by attacking Kaifeng City? Wasn't Zhang Zhenfang the Yuan family's dog? Could it be that he wanted to rebel? Or is he rebelling against his father?" The 7th Infantry Division Chief of Staff, Zhao Jingqing, asked.
"Who knows what they're up to? However, Second Young Master Yuan has already sent someone to send a letter over, asking us to stay put to avoid conflict. Otherwise, bear the consequences!" Lei Zhenchun, the commander of the 7th Infantry Division said.
"Humph! Second Young Master Yuan was really arrogant and despotic.”Zhao Jingqing snorted coldly.
"Who asked her to have a father who is the president? Besides, the 101st Infantry Division was also well-equipped, and they managed to wipe out Bai Lang in a short time. It's better if we don't offend them!" Lei Zhenchun said.
Zhao Jing Qing nodded and did not say anything else.
Yuan Kewen only arrived on May 27th.
After arriving at the opening peak, he immediately went to see Zhang Zhenfang, who was imprisoned.
"Nephew Kewen, is there a misunderstanding? I'm loyal to the Grand President! Why did you arrest me?" Zhang Zhenfang was very angry. However, he didn't dare to show it.
"Zhang Zhenfang, is this how you act as the governor of Henan Province? Not only was the disaster relief not successful, but they also pocketed the money and extorted taxes, exploiting the villagers. Disregarding human lives and bullying men and women were even more common. What you've done is enough to shoot you ten times. Keeping a person like you will only ruin the reputation of my Yuan family!”Yuan Kewen's face was filled with killing intent.
"You can't kill me. I'm the Grand President's man!”Zhang Zhenfang immediately became anxious.
However, Yuan Kewen was determined to kill him.
"Men, drag him out and cut him down in front of the commoners!”Yuan Kewen ordered.
"Yes, teacher!" The soldiers immediately took action.
"Yuan Kewen, you're rebelling! The Grand President won't let you off!”
Zhang Zhenfang struggled desperately, but it was useless.
