Chapter 28: Cleansing (2)
After the battle to capture the city of Guangzhou, Wei Changrong immediately set about restoring order. In troubled times, heavy codes are used, and those who take advantage of the chaos will be killed. Soon dozens of bloody human heads were hung in the city of Guangzhou, and the walls near the flagpole were plastered with the crimes of these people. After the troops began to patrol the city, order in the city of Guangzhou was quickly restored.
On June 11, the rear team began to arrive in the city of Guangzhou. The generals of the First Army lined up accordingly and welcomed Wei Ze into the Governor's Mansion of the former Liangguang. Now the plaque of the Governor's Palace has been replaced with the words "Liberating the Governor's Palace". Weese's forces finally had a stronghold of their own.
Wei Ze did not rest at all, and immediately convened a meeting of the civil and military generals of the Governor's Mansion. At the meeting, Wei Ze pointed to the map and said: "Occupy the Pearl River Delta region!" ”
The Pearl River Delta, referred to as the Pearl River Delta, is a delta formed by the impact and precipitation of the Xijiang, Beijiang and Dongjiang rivers when they enter the sea, covering an area of about 56,000 square kilometers. It is located in the south-central part of Guangdong Province, in the lower reaches of the Pearl River Basin, adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, and across the sea from Southeast Asia. After the two Song Dynasty, the opening of the Pearl River Delta has begun to take shape, to the Ming Dynasty, it was the production base of the famous grain and a variety of cash crops in Lingnan at that time, and the foundation pond agriculture in Shunde, Nanhai, Zhongshan, Panyu and other places was well-known all over the world.
If Guangdong wants to gain a foothold, it is necessary to firmly grasp this grain-producing area that can support tens of thousands of troops. If you want to do business with the British, the mulberry production capacity of dike-pond agriculture is also the foundation that Wei Ze must firmly hold in his hands.
"What exactly?" Bi Qingshan, director of the political department of the Governor's Mansion, asked. When he was in Anhui, he was in charge of the administrative work of paying taxes on grain, and when Wei Ze went south, Bi Qingshan immediately chose to follow Wei Ze. Wei Ze will definitely establish a government after occupying Liangguang, and Bi Qingshan can certainly imagine that as long as he himself does not go wrong, it will be easy to become a governor. So Bi Qingshan was the first to raise the question.
Wei Ze replied: "Now immediately send someone to meet the local militia near Guangzhou City, and let them lead them to Guangzhou City to see me." ”
"Oh......" The officers of the unit looked at Wees, and then at each other. There was murder in everyone's eyes.
Luo Xuan also took the initiative to ask: "Governor, the brothers of the Guangdong Heaven and Earth Society have asked to see them several times, do you want to see them?" ”
"Of course!" Wei Ze replied cheerfully, "They haven't contacted us yet, have they?" ”
"The connection is connected, but it's only a little contact." Luo Xuan smiled bitterly.
There were three leaders of the uprising of the Guangdong Tiandihui, namely Chen Kai, Li Wenmao, and Chen Xianliang. After the Guangfu army captured the city of Guangzhou within a day, according to the agreement made by Luo Xuan with them on June 5, three days later, that is, on June 8, the two sides met once.
With Guangzhou City in hand, Luo Xuan certainly has nothing to worry about. On the contrary, there was a variable on the side of the Heaven and Earth Society, and Chen Kai, Li Wenmao, and Chen Xianliang, who had made an appointment to meet Luo Xuan near Guangzhou City, missed the appointment. On the 8th, they simply sent someone to ask Luo Xuan to meet near Zhaoqing, where the three-man unit was stationed.
Obviously, all three were frightened by the combat effectiveness of the Liberation Army. They besieged the city of Guangzhou for nearly half a year, and after losing a large number of brothers, they could not move a single cent of Guangzhou, and had to break the siege under the attack of the Qing army and the landlords' armed forces. The Guangfu Army broke through the city of Guangzhou in one day, and such combat effectiveness was far beyond the imagination of the three of them. In the face of such a strong dragon from other places, the three local land snakes obviously want to think things through before meeting again.
After listening to Luo's introduction, Wei Ze was not particularly excited or excited, "Now we don't have time to wait for them, the first army is already hard enough, now let the second army attack the direction of Fujian, and block the way of the Qing army to the south." At this time, it is necessary to quickly deter the place, so that those who have illusions about the Qing army know that the Qing army will not return. ”
"Our First Army can still fight! Our First Army can continue to fight! Wei Changrong immediately shouted. The eager expression of being afraid that he would not be able to fight and make meritorious contributions was quite like an advertisement selling health care products, and he just shouted "My waist is good!" My waist is good! ”
The commander of the Second Army, Nguyen Hee Ho, immediately expressed his position succinctly, "Phew! ”
This one word illustrates the attitude of the Second Army without ambiguity.
Wei Ze waved his hand at Wei Changrong, "The Pearl River Delta is not small, you don't have to worry about not fighting." ”
Seeing that the situation was so, Hu Chenghe, chief of staff of the General Staff, also came up to play a round, "We will formulate a defense plan, first block the roads leading to Jiangxi and Fujian, and prevent the Qing army from coming back." ”
The chief of staff of the General Staff took this matter over, and Wei Ze had to save some face for Hu Chenghe no matter what. He said, "So be it." ”
"What should Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, do?" Wei Changrong asked.
"I really want to kill him now, but I don't think there's any good in killing him. Shut it up for now. Weese replied.
As the saying goes, if Wei Ze means that Ye Mingchen must be killed now, then Wei Ze's subordinates will immediately find a reason for Wei Ze to kill Ye Mingchen. But Wei Ze obviously didn't mean this, and Ye Mingchen also temporarily forced himself to be killed immediately.
Although the Second Army said that it was going north, it was really difficult for everyone to march for nearly two months, and the Second Army also needed to rest in Guangzhou for a few days for the time being, and arrange for the non-combatants accompanying the troops in the unit.
That night, Weser finally fell asleep in what he could call his lodging. Living with him was his wife Qi Hongyi, and the second wife Li Yifang slept in another room. Wei Ze was also tired, and after lying down, he was a little dazed. I heard Qi Hongyi say, "We want a child, right?" Wei Ze only snorted casually twice, and soon passed in a daze.
Early the next morning, he was woken up by Qi Hongyi, who was still a little angry, Wei Ze got up and saw that the sky was already bright. And there are communications staff officers waiting outside to report the matter.
News came from outside the city of Guangzhou. There were several armed forces from unknown places that attacked the intelligence officers who were out of the troops.
After hearing the news, the troops were stunned. No one was scared of this, everyone was just surprised, what kind of person was this, and what kind of bear-hearted leopard gall had eaten, that he dared to attack at this time.
