Seeing the guards rushing towards them like wolves and tigers, all the officers present were dumbfounded, especially Ding Chao who was the first to step forward.

I'm afraid that in his eyes, as long as they are willing to surrender and explain the situation to this approachable commander-in-chief... he will at least spare their lives.

However, as a provincial governor, Jiang Cheng knew very well that no matter what the reason was, if his subordinates dared to mutiny, they would no longer be useful.

He was willing to trade benefits for loyalty, but he also knew that no one could work for nothing.

But you are against me, Jiang Feilan, how can I tolerate it?
They must be killed!
Jiang Cheng turned away and lit a cigarette, his eyes cold and expressionless.

bang bang bang...

Outside the house, there was a burst of gunfire, which soon returned to silence accompanied by screams.

"Master Jiang, it's all done!"

Feng Qing lifted the curtain and entered the room, his face calm and he said, "Master, the brothers from Snow Fox sent back news that troops have been mobilized at the South Gate and the Small South Gate in Siping, and the other gates are all closed—"

"Both roads in the former overseas Chinese district are blocked. Should we..."

Jiang Cheng turned around and looked at Li Shitou and others who had trotted in. His eyes were as cold as ice. "Haha, there are even unusual movements in the Japanese Overseas Chinese District... It seems that no matter whether Yi is colluding with the Japanese or not, they have obviously found the opportunity!"

At the critical juncture of the migration of immigrants from the interior to the north, the Japanese army took advantage of the mutiny to enter the city to disrupt the situation... The territory and situation he had built up over the past two years might be destroyed overnight!
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng became furious.

"Is the line connected?"

Suppressing the strong emotions that kept surging in his heart, Jiang Cheng issued the first order, "Tell Hai Rusong that the entire Siping City is under martial law!"

…………

20 minutes later, the Snow Fox members stationed in Siping City met with Jiang Cheng and others to report.

When the mutiny broke out, all electricity in the city was cut off in order to provide support.

It seems that although these people did not make a thorough plan before launching the mutiny, after all, they had been the local bosses in Siping for some years, so it was easy to assign them some specific actions.

In addition, before the power was cut off, the two troops in the city were actually dispatched together.

"All the city gates have been sealed... I have sent people to investigate, and they are fully staffed and armed."

"In addition, the sentries on the sentries are also equipped with machine guns, and the number of patrols on the city walls has doubled!"

Jiang Cheng listened to the agent's report in silence, nodded silently, raised his hand and gestured for the agent to leave.

At this time, the main hall of Hai Mansion had become a temporary command post. In addition to Jiang Cheng, Sun Zhengnan, Li Shitou and others, Hai Rushong and his adjutant Li Fusheng, as well as his personal guard battalion commander Hai Ming and deputy commander of the 386th Regiment Dai Wenjun were also present.

At this time, electricity and communications had not been restored. Jiang Cheng ordered people to light numerous kerosene lamps in the side rooms, but no lighting was allowed in the main hall where they were.

With a little bit of polarized light, they could only vaguely see each other's faces, but even so, Jiang Cheng could still see that Dai Wenjun had an ugly expression:
"Master Hai, I never thought that these bastards would dare to cause trouble! They... You fired Commander Wei today, and several commanders from the chief of staff to the regiment and battalion are dissatisfied. I, I..."

Jiang Cheng raised his head and interrupted him: "Stop talking nonsense! It's useless to say this now."

He stared at Hai Rusong coldly, "Let me ask you, how many soldiers and horses are still available?"

This sentence confused him. Today, Hai Rusong had suffered a series of blows, and his usual capable and majestic temperament had changed. He stood in the middle and pondered for a long time before saying, "Except for Hai Ming's guard battalion, there are probably only the police in the city left... probably, about a hundred people!"

Jiang Cheng glanced at him, and Li Shitou, who was standing next to him, said the fastest: "Hey, Brother Hai, stop joking!"

"What kind of team are the police? Besides, who is on duty and who is not. The whole city of Siping is under martial law. Can you mobilize more than a hundred people?"

"It's no use transferring more. Where are their guys?" When he was under his father's command, he was repeatedly ostracized because he talked too much. It was Jiang Cheng who valued his loyalty and bravery and brought him here to be the commander of the guard brigade.

Even though Jiang Cheng usually annoyed him because of his talkativeness, he actually felt inexplicably happy when he challenged his father-in-law today.

"Oh, so, except for those causing trouble in the city, everyone who can move is on the outskirts?"

From the way he looked while speaking, Jiang Chengchun realized that his guess was correct.

"Alright, let Dai Wenjun be promoted to the head of the 386th Regiment immediately. Also--"

"Haiming, transfer all the guards to Hai Mansion to ensure the safety of the whole family!"

Jiang Cheng knew very well that killing those who were causing the rebellion would be useless in calming down the rebellion, even though it would be useful for beheading them...

Especially since all the detained officers were killed, it would only force them all to rebel even more.

"Master Jiang! The radio is connected——"

Han Ming, who was guarding the outer edge, retreated and loudly reported the first good news of the night.

"Have the telegrams to Zhengjiatun and Pingchuan been sent? Also, connect me to Changchun Railway Station!"

Jiang Cheng immediately picked up the phone and contacted his partner Matsushita Hideki——

After hearing the sound of Jiancheng, this guy first breathed a sigh of relief, and then reported to him a fatal news.

The Japanese troops stationed at Siping Railway Station suddenly gathered after midnight and chose to enter radio silence.

Although he repeatedly sent telegrams and tried to contact them as the highest commander of the South Manchuria Railway Protection Army, the signal from Siping was always interrupted.

"General Jiang, I even thought the battle on your side had already started, so..."

Suzuki Hideki's words made Jiang Cheng laugh sarcastically: "Haha, for now, is it any different from an act of war?"

"They might want to take advantage of the chaos in Siping to come to the city and cause trouble, right?"

Suzuki Hideki was silent for a moment, and then he said in disgust: "General Jiang, I don't like the tone of your questioning!"

"After all, for now, you and the General Staff have maintained a good cooperative relationship. There is really no need for my subordinates to do anything bad to you."

"I'm just worried that your subordinates might do something crazy and attack the train station!"

The Japanese are the Japanese. It seems that even if Suzuki is unhappy with his subordinates taking advantage of the situation, he is probably condoning it because he sees benefits.

The so-called covenant alone will definitely not be able to resolve the current situation.

Jiang Cheng smiled awkwardly: "Captain Suzuki, if it is your choice, are your troops willing to remain neutral?"

"You also know that the war in Vladivostok is currently at a balance point - the military is based on breaking the deadlock!"

After saying this, Jiang Cheng hung up the phone.

Wang Junshan from Zhengjiatun and Jin Yanxi from Liufangzi called back one after another.

While the outer city troops were rapidly gathering towards Siping, street fighting broke out near Haifu. (End of this chapter)
