At the beginning of July 1707, the Nanyang Fleet arrived in Macao safely disguised as a Portuguese fleet, and under the operation of the Xinghua underground party in Guangdong, the fleet was replenished with daily necessities.

After the fleet was replenished and rested for a while, it was about to set off again, and Yuyao took Chen Chaosheng, the underground party secretary of Guangdong Province, and several underground party members to board the flagship "Qinhuang".

Nian Qianyao left his family in Macau, and he followed his sister on the ship.

The "Qinhuang" class battleship is actually the "San Francisco" of Yuyao Cottage in Spain, which has a more familiar name - "Invincible". With the firepower and maneuverability of the "Invincible" type of warships, the "Invincible Armada" formed by the Spanish Navy in the 17th and 18th centuries dominated the sea for 150 years. As far as the current Chinese and Western shipbuilding industries are concerned, it is already the best choice to build the "Invincible".

This is also the result of Yuyao's in-depth cooperation with Portuguese businessmen, the data and design drawings of the "Invincible" in the current world are secret, but the data of the "Invincible" in later generations is the glory printed in the history books.

In the territory of Boni, she spent a lot of money to invite European skilled workers to build through partners such as Shikina. New wood cannot be used for shipbuilding, and new wood is easy to deform and is very poor in terms of gap fitting, sealing and waterproofing. She re-collected the wood from all over the country through the Cao Gang network of the White Dragon Gang and the commercial network of the Thirteen Banks in Guangdong, and it took three years of work and countless manpower and material resources to build two "Qinhuang-class" (invincible-class) warships, and the other was named "Hanwu".

Octopus Fish definitely doesn't know the data drawings and battle targets of the major aircraft carriers in the world, but the sea ships of the 16th century are not a secret. When she became Shangguan Xing, she was the empress for decades, and for her maritime hegemony ambitions, she set up a dockyard and spent money on shipbuilding, and studied shipbuilding for decades, and in the latter part of her reign, they already had the world's most powerful fleet of navy and pirates. Therefore, she had experience in some ancient difficulties on the ship, and she completed the construction of the ship at a miraculous speed.

Two other warships and a number of Euclidean galleons were bought in Portugal through Skina, who also made a lot of beryllium through the trade, and it turned out that he had retired and returned to Portugal, but he came to the East twice for delivery and big business in the future.

Nian Qianyao saw the large and small sailboats on the boundless sea, as if a new world had been opened. China has always been a land power, and during the Ming Dynasty it had the opportunity to become the world's leading maritime power, but the occupation of the ruling class by the old literati with deep roots of inferiority allowed the country to rest on its laurels.

Only when a man is incompetent will he try his best to find in a woman the feeling that he is strong. Most of the old feudal literati in the Ming and Qing dynasties were sanctimonious and greedy for fear of death, and they were powerless, and they were self-contained, except for the deceitful monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons, what insight did they have? They were incompetent among incompetent, so they panicked and feared, they wanted women to tie their small feet and stay at home, and women with small feet were weaker than them, so they found the dignity of men.

The above is a foreign word.

The captain of the "Qinhuang" was a gunner named Shen Sigen of the original Qing Army's naval division, who was a relatively high-consciousness person in the original surrender army, and was selected from a group of "advanced youths" in the surrender army, and sent to the Nanyang Party School for "ideology/transformation" after passing the military academy to study. After learning culture and becoming the captain of the flagship of the Xinghua Navy, he felt that "Sigen" (because the family was the fourth) was not suitable, so he changed his name to "Zhiyuan". It is not the meaning of "not indifferent and unambitious, not tranquil and far-reaching", but the navy must "crisscross the seas and reach distant places".

The captain-class meeting was held on the "Qinhuang", and there were more than a dozen naval officers, including the division commander and chief of staff of the 7th Division of the Army, as well as four Portuguese advisers.

The navy is the most personable branch of the military, and Yuyao will not blindly inculcate such a thing as "the traditional honor of the navy"; China did not have a modern navy before, so where did it come from? She just said that a soldier must have the spirit and self-confidence. In addition, as a navy, there are so many people living on one ship, the activity area is small, and it does not land all year round, and if you don't pay attention to hygiene, it will cause plague and kill people.

In the conference room, the captains of the ships wore snow-white uniforms, and only two army officers wore army green uniforms. The officers, including the Portuguese advisers, were excited, discussing the future of the war in private.

"The commander-in-chief has arrived!" Shen Zhiyuan's loud voice sounded.

The officers stood up in an instant, snapped and saluted in unison. Yuyao was dressed in a navy uniform, with a snow-white boat-shaped brim embroidered with the pattern of a Chinese dragon, and the military emblem of the Xinghua Revolutionary Army in the middle of the hat. She wore a gold war knife studded with rubies at her waist, long boots on her feet, walked to the table like the wind, and solemnly returned a military salute to everyone.

"Hello comrades!"

"Hello Chief!!"

Nian Qianyao, who was shocked and curious behind, was startled by the shouts of the naval officers, and only after seeing his sister, who was wearing a strange costume but heroic, put down his hand, the officers put down their hands.

Yuyao led everyone to sit down, and Nian Qianyao was just in a position next to him to listen and study. But I saw that the upright sitting posture was like two rows of wooden stakes, connected in two straight lines, and the large brimmed hats on the long table were also neatly arranged in two straight lines.

When Nian Qianyao was a teenager, he also saw it in the "Fu Biao" and "Du Biao" under the jurisdiction of Nian Qianling, and this Qingqi painting style was completely different from that of the Qing army.

Shen Zhiyuan asked the staff of the staff to open up the map of the waters of Guangdong, and Shen Zhiyuan said:

"We attacked the army in Guangdong, and the Military Commission signed an order to establish the Third Theater Command of the Xinghua Revolutionary Army, and all members of the headquarters above the rank of major general were members. Today the General Staff has two sets of operational plans. ”

As he spoke, Shen Zhiyuan picked up the whip and pointed at the red arrow, and said: "Plan 1, enter Guangzhou from the mouth of the Pearl River, bombard Humen and the garrison of the Qing army in Guangzhou, land on the coast outside Guangzhou, and behead the governor of the Qing army and Guangzhou. Then, the center of flowering passes through the entire two wide. On the Guangxi side, the corps of the second theater of operations on the Yunnan-Guizhou side will cooperate to contain the Qing army in Guangxi. ”

The officers present nodded happily, and Chen Chaosheng, a representative of the Guangdong underground party, also nodded again and again.

Shen Zhiyuan pointed to the blue arrow again: "Plan 2, bombardment of Zhanjiang Mansion, the army landed from Zhanjiang, our regular army is relatively small, you can take advantage of the favorable terrain of Zhanjiang, eat step by step, advance can be attacked and retreated, and you can also take it after a year and two Guangzhou, which is relatively safe." ”

The officers hesitated, and Liang Yanchao, the commander of the 7th Division of the Army (3rd Division of Nanyang), was the first to stand up and said: "I agree to capture Guangzhou, and the 7th Division of our Army landed after the naval artillery bombardment, and it is fully capable of beheading the Qing army." As long as Guangzhou is captured, the entire Liangguang group will have no leader, and it will have a deterrent effect, and then our army will sweep through the two Guangzhou, how can the Qing army have the fighting spirit?"

The staff officer explained: "However, the military strength of the Qing army in Zhanjiang Prefecture is weaker, and our army can occupy an advantageous area when it enters Zhanjiang Prefecture, and the casualties can be negligible. Occupying Zhanjiang Mansion and encroaching step by step, the Qing army of the two Guangxi provinces will inevitably assemble to attack, and we will eat one by one by waiting for work, and then cooperate with the guerrilla attacks of the underground armed forces, and consume them to death. ”

At the moment, they expressed their opinions on the first and second options, and finally stated the pros and cons and voted on them.

Yu Yao looked at these war maniacs, eighty percent of them voted for plan one, and there would definitely be casualties in plan one, but they were excited about the war like beheading. The army and navy boys are crazy about beating the Qing army officials, and they are reluctant to gnaw on the place in Zhanjiang that looks at the chicken ribs.

However, Yuyao will not criticize them for being militant within the degree, without a little bloody sword spirit, it is not a Xinghua Revolutionary Army, the war is very realistic, and Ci is not in charge of the army. I just hope that it will not become the gambler-like militarism of Japan during World War II.

Yuyao stood up and said: "In this case, within a day of each unit going back, the warehouses and equipment will be checked, and the logistics department and the process docking of the various armies will all be streamlined and opened." Let the soldiers have a good rest during the day tomorrow, drive into the mouth of the Pearl River at night, and act in the early morning. Now let's take another look at the pocket watch time. "Yuyao also gave pocket watches to officers above the regimental level, and bought them from Venetian merchants, which is a lot of money, but when you are a modern officer, time is very important.

One by one, the officers took out their pocket watches, and after they were right, Yuyao said: "Now I announce that this operation is codenamed 'Nanyang Lihuo'. The restoration of the great cause of the rivers and mountains, the Spring and Autumn Period has its own penmanship, and it depends on the comrades! Tell the world that history is written by us!"

"Die to the end of the mission!!" roared the officers, the commander-in-chief's acceptance of their advice so excited that they instinctively wanted to shout.

Saluting each other and saying goodbye, the officers left the flagship in small boats one after another.

On the night of July 11, 1707, the Xinghua South Ocean Fleet quietly sailed into the mouth of the Pearl River, until 0:00, has arrived at Humen, Humen is the maritime gateway of Guangzhou, although there is no Zhenyuan Fort built in the Daoguang period of later generations, but there are also sailors, Xunbiao town guard, is an important military town in Guangdong.

The invincible ships "Qin Huang" and "Han Wu" opened the road one after the other, and in the command center, Yuyao was drinking tea with Chen Chaosheng and Nian Qianyao. The commander of the Nanyang Navy, Zheng Portugal, was looking at a more detailed map of Zhuhai Kou.

After a while, the navy sentry brought two representatives of the fishermen over, and Chen Chaosheng went over to communicate with each other, and after a while, he came to report.

"Leader, it's time to Humen. ”

These two fishermen's representatives were the underground party developed by the Xinghua Party in Guangdong, and they were most afraid that their actions at night would be a mistake in the details, and it would not be possible for the artillery to send a random call into the night. Therefore, make an appointment with the underground party personnel to wait for the answer in Zhujiakou.

Yu Yao met with two representatives of the fishermen, and then was given some information from the naval headquarters, and ordered the staff to slightly revise the details of the first round of shelling, and immediately sent the order to the "Han Wu".

At two o'clock in the morning, when ordinary people were sleeping, the 32 guns of the invincible ship "Qin Huang" kicked off the first round of shelling.

The Cantonese Xunbiao garrison camp by the river was the first to attack, and the red flames and explosions tore apart the silence of the night.

There were also two sailor boats parked in Humen Port, and under the guidance of the fishermen, the Xinghua Revolution approached with small boats to transport troops, and then quickly boarded the enemy ships. This is still a copy of the tactics of the Spanish "Armada". It's just that what they encountered was a hostile fleet, and the Xinghua Army attacked at night, and the official ships of the Qing Army's naval division were a little like dead fish. The main officers of the task of rushing to board the enemy ships were former Qing Navy Sailors who were well aware of the structure of the ships of the Qing Army's Navy Division.

Hearing the sound of cannons, the Qing troops who stayed on the ship of the naval division woke up in their sleep, got dressed and lit the lights to go to the deck, and were wiped by the Xinghua army one after another.

After the bombardment of the "Qinhuang", it advanced directly to Guangzhou, and by 3 o'clock in the morning it had already arrived at the coast of Guangzhou; in the faint morning light, the "Qinhuang" and "Hanwu" bombarded the batteries along the river in Guangzhou, and the large troop carriers in the rear laid down their small landing craft one after another, and those Nanyang men raised the sleeves of their combat uniforms and paddled fiercely and went ashore, and the first batch of people quickly alerted to the latecomers.

The Qing troops guarding the coast of Guangzhou were blasted like headless flies, and all the military attaches of the flood standard urgently sent personnel to the governor's palace in the city to report the news.

After the forts along the coast of Guangdong were blown up, the Qing army could not effectively form an organization because of the suppression of artillery fire, and it was powerless to stop the landing of the Xinghua army.

At five o'clock in the morning, the "Qin Huang" stopped shelling, and Yuyao took Chen Chaosheng and Nian Qianyao to the side of the ship.

I saw that the eastern sun showed half of its head, illuminating the golden light and shining on the surface of the river. The huge sailing ship is like a monster floating in the sea, and it is a new era against this dynasty that is stubborn and corrupt.

Yu Yao looked at those landing soldiers and sighed: "Rather than letting Waiyi use such a strong ship and cannon to break through our country a hundred years later, I would rather have my own phoenix nirvana and be reborn from the ashes." ”

Although everyone present could not fully understand the meaning of this sentence, when they saw these Western-style warships, they couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if it was not for themselves to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but for other Western countries to use these ships to fight us.

Chen Chaosheng only thought like this, and when he heard Yuyao mention "rebirth from the ashes," he naturally thought of "changing the dynasty," and couldn't help but say: "The leader has the world in mind and has an extraordinary bearing, and he has trained such a strong steel master for my Xinghua Party, Chaosheng really admires it! The leader has won the world is already the general trend of the world!"

Several representatives of the Guangdong Xinghua Party who were present also echoed him.

Yuyao smiled lightly and said: "Comrade Chaosheng, the world should be the world of the people of the world, no matter who is the emperor, he can't admit this, and if he becomes the emperor, he will be ousted by the people, and I will do the same." Moreover, according to the "Secret Covenant of the Thatched House", the Ming Chamber abides by the contract, and we still have to welcome the Ming Room to the throne, and the Xinghua Party must be trustworthy to the people of the world. ”

Chen Chaosheng bowed his head and said yes, but he secretly thought in his heart: What is the Ming Room, and now that my Xinghua Party has won the world, how can I make myself an uncle? The leader advocates sea power and openness, and even talks a lot about the internal relationship between Western maritime merchants and pirates, and the leader proposes that the Chinese with maritime wealth should also share the biggest cake. Maritime interests have the greatest bearing on the Cantonese people, and the Cantonese account for the majority of the maritime trade in the Central Plains. Without the support of the state, Guangdong's maritime merchants would be a tree without roots, and they would only be bullied outside. In any case, it is in the best interest of the Cantonese maritime merchants to put the leader in that position and let the leader free his hands and feet. He, Chen Chaosheng, represents the interests of the underground party of Guangdong's maritime merchants, and the Guangdong maritime collective's support for him is so great, he must also give an account to the major families.

Nian Qianyao on the side couldn't help but feel his heart beat when he heard their exchange, his sister repeatedly refreshed his three views, but he never dared to think that his sister would ascend the throne and become the emperor. If you are an ordinary person, whether you have this ambition or not, when you hear someone say this, you have to pretend to be afraid, but my sister is like talking to others about "the weather is so nice today".

She's not even sixteen years old!

Nian Qianyao has been smart since he was a child, and he was admitted to the Jinshi in his twenties, the so-called "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi", the difficulty of the Jinshi scientific examination, the fierce competition, even if he was fifty years old, he was considered young.

Like Nian Qianyao, who was admitted in his twenties, is really talented.

Nian Qianyao is a civil and military all-rounder, he has always believed in himself, and then he feels the gap. He is like a frog at the bottom of a well, not even as good as his own sister.

As an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he naturally abided by the rules of the Manchu Dynasty officialdom and climbed up, but now he has drawn a clear line with the Manchu Dynasty, and his brother Manchu Qing, as the leader of the "anti-thief" group, has no place for him, and even his father has been appointed by the Kunming local government. When the Xinghua Revolutionary Army has laid down half of the country, there will be a large number of talents, and the time will be even later.

Nian Qianyao is a person with pursuits, and he is also ambitious for officialdom, he made up his mind, and the previous resentment against his sister suddenly dissipated. He didn't care at all that his wife and father-in-law were authentic Manchurians, and he married a chicken randomly, so he couldn't help her.

"Sister, I also know a little bit about martial arts, let me also land and participate in the war. ”

Yuyao said: "The tactics of the Xinghua Revolutionary Army and the Green Battalion are different, brother, let's see how people fight first." Otherwise, you'll make a mess for others. ”

Nian Qianyao said: "Sister, don't underestimate me!"

Yuyao had no choice but to let him go by boat and send him to Liang Yanchao, the division commander, to be a personal soldier first, and watch the battle and learn from close to the ground.

……

Liang Yanchao had already led the 7th Division to land and assemble along the coast of Guangzhou City, and he personally led the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments to attack the city of Guangzhou. The three regiments were divided into the north and south banks, and the rear was broken.

The penetration of the Xinghua Party in Guangdong is very deep, and in Guangdong, in addition to the banner class, there are more or less people who are convenient with the Xinghua Party. Cantonese people are very pragmatic and pay attention to harmony and wealth, and they don't care which side you represent, and they will not damage their interests, and they generally will not dismantle other people's platforms. Moreover, the Cantonese people's concept of the difference between Manchu and Han is deeper than that of the Central Plains provinces, and as Han people, they naturally prefer Han people.

As soon as the Xinghua Revolutionary Army entered the city of Guangzhou, the underground party represented by the 13 Banks of Guangdong organized activities to provide food, grass, water and other conveniences for the Xinghua Revolutionary Army that "entered the city empty-handed," and also carried out propaganda among the residents of the city.

Due to the unequal war between the two eras and the relationship between sneak attacks into the city, the war dragged on for three days, and the Xinghua Revolutionary Army had already started the battle to capture the governor's mansion.

……

Zhao Hongcan, the governor of Liangguang, who had only been in office for half a year, had already made a lot of money, and there was such an unspoken rule in the imperial court, and he had to make a fortune when he came to Guangdong to become an official. It's really hard to say what political achievements you want to make here, and the imperial court doesn't have high expectations.

But while he was fishing, he still carried out the orders of the imperial court, Yungui anti-thieves sat big, the imperial court is now in financial difficulties, after failing to see the bandits, it has been unable to organize a large-scale active attack for a while, and the imperial court is defending against Yungui anti-thieves on three sides.

Zhao Hongcan also strengthened the garrison in Guangxi, after all, if the anti-thieves entered Liangguang, he was likely to become the second Fuchabei and Nuo.

However, he did not expect that one day, the anti-thieves would attack from the sea, and the naval artillery broke the city wall of Guangzhou, and that kind of firepower was simply a one-sided massacre.

He mobilized the Green Battalion to intercept in the city, but the Guangdong soldiers, who had not fought for a long time and had no will to fight, were the opponents of the high-spirited Xinghua Army?

In front of the battle, various surrenders/mutinies were recruited, and now the hardcore is only the army led by the banner general.

Hearing that the thieves had attacked outside the Governor's Palace, Zhao Hongcan was finally "knocked unconscious by his own soldiers", and was taken out of the city by his own soldiers from the tunnel to join his wife and children, and fled north in a hurry.

The remaining Qing troops were killed in the battle, and all the others surrendered.

In late July, the first congress of the Liangguang Xinghua Party was also officially convened, and this was not an underground party representative but an upright one, and they were about to prepare for the establishment of a new government.

After the meeting, the basic organizational structure of the Xinghua and Guangxi Revolutionary Governments headed by Chen Chaosheng was established, and the first priority was to protect the territory and the people, and then refer to some experiences of Yunnan and Guizhou to carry out land reform. Therefore, the Yunnan-Guizhou land reform research team was urgently dispatched to guide the work of the Guangzhou land reform working group.

On the military side, the Qing army in the territory of Guangzhou, Guangzhou, carried out the policy of "recruiting and surrendering and reforming, supplemented by annihilation", and carried out a sweep with Guangzhou as the center.

Guangdong was already developed in agriculture and commerce, and the foundation of the Xinghua underground party was relatively good, so Yuyao did not stay in Guangdong for a long time.

By September, he sailed to the north with two-thirds of the navy ships led by the "Qin Huang", including the main warships of the "Qin Emperor" and the "Han Wu", as well as two Portuguese galleons and two Qing Navy Navy ships.

And in Anhui, the spark of revolution has become a prairie fire. 100,000 soldiers and civilians descended the mountain like bandits, attacked Tongcheng, a cultural powerhouse, at a very small cost, and went south to attack Anqing in one fell swoop, and Fang Liang, an old party member of Xinghua, who was only in his early twenties, became the governor of Anhui Province and presided over government affairs.

The army of Heilongzhai did rest and training in Anqing, waiting for the Cao Gang ships and grain and grass to assemble, and wanted to march eastward, pointing at Nanjing. 166 Reading Network
