The one hundred and forty-eighth episode Tan Renfeng persuaded Guo Renzhang to surrender
After the failure of the Zhennanguan uprising. The Qing government sent a note to the French authorities in Vietnam. lodge a serious protest. The French authorities were also reluctant to offend the Qing government. In early March 1908, Sun Yat-sen was ordered to leave Vietnam. Sun Yat-sen was forced south to Singapore. Before leaving. arranged for Huang Xing, Gong Ren, Tang Qingying and others to enter the Lianjiang area of Qinzhou to launch an uprising again. From Huang Mingtang, Wang Heshun and others to the mouth of the Yunnan River to attack. in response.
After the uprising in Fangcheng and Zhennanguan. Huang Xing was not only not discouraged. The reverse side is even more Top Gun. Determined to make a big career. Just feel that there is no source of bullets for firearms. My heart is very anxious.
At this time. Tan Renfeng came to Vietnam. Tan Renfeng originally had an old friendship with Guo Renzhang. The relationship is very good. He is also the introducer of Guo Renzhang's Huaxing Club. I discussed with Huang Xing and said, "Let me go to Guo Renzhang again. He won't lose face to me. How much will always solve part of it."
Huang Xing told Guo Renzhang what he did in the Battle of Qinzhou. With a wry smile, he said, "I'm so good with him. He even dared me to lie. What else would not dare to lie. I advise you not to go. It's too dangerous there. It's a wolf's den."
Tan Renfeng said resolutely: "I am a literati. Not an inch. Now it's time for me to contribute. Danger is not dangerous. I've long since stopped looking at life and death. As long as the weapons and ammunition are solved. It's dead. It's worth it."
Huang Xing persuaded him: "It's a trivial matter if you can't get arms. If you lose your life in his hands; It's too much for us." Tan Renfeng still insisted and said, "No. No, it won't. I don't believe that Guo Renzhang is that kind of person. He's definitely going to have to give me face." Huang Xing couldn't persuade him. He had to go.
Tan Renfeng arrived at Guo Renzhang's barracks. Seeing Guo Renzhang's mood was very low. It turned out that Guo Renzhang had a deal with the revolutionary army. Denounced. has been demoted from the standard commander to the battalion commander. The road to promotion and fortune has been frustrated. It's inevitable not to be depressed. But he saw an old friend visiting. Or force a smiley. I bought food and drinks. Warmly entertain Tan Renfeng. The two of them slowly had three points of wine. Guo Renzhang was full of complaints. Scolding those who are in charge of the lack of eyes. Scolding the Qing army for corruption.
Tan Renfeng saw that the time had come. Tentatively, he said, "The world is not peaceful. I also have a lot of thieves in my house. Brother Guo, this is a military camp. I'm afraid it's convenient to get some guns and ammunition." Guo Renzhang said nonchalantly: "As a brother. This is not a piece of cake for Guan Gong to eat bean sprouts. How much do you want. Just say."
Tan Renfeng looked at his face. He said, "I don't want much. That's 300 guns, 10,000 rounds." Guo Renzhang was taken aback. Be alert at once. Asked: "What does Brother Tan want so many guns and bullets for?" Not a thief. I'm afraid it's a revolution."
Tan Renfeng blushed and said, "I don't have a revolutionary army there. It's just a thief." Guo Renzhang rolled his eyes and said, "That's not right. The revolutionary army was full of turmoil. Uproar. I don't believe that you don't have a revolutionary army there. You want so many guns. It's enough to equip 1 battalion. If you don't give it to the revolutionary army, to whom."
Tan Renfeng insisted and said, "Where. Where. I get guns just to prevent thieves. You say it's for the revolutionary army. Don't make such jokes. Don't make jokes like that."
Guo Renzhang smiled and said, "I'm playing with you. It doesn't matter if you're for the Revolutionary Army. Or anti-thief. And what does it have to do with me. I'll just prepare it for you. But then again. The brothers had to settle accounts when they were separated. This ......" Guo Renzhang's thumb, index finger and middle finger of his right hand rubbed each other.
Tan Renfeng hurriedly said: "I understand this. Our price is preferential. Make sure you can't afford to lose. You say how much it is." Guo Renzhang said: "When it comes to money, don't we brothers see each other. I'm too embarrassed to mention money. Or do you say it?"
Tan Renfeng said: "Look at it. 10 dollars a bullet 2 cents a piece."
Hear this. Guo Renzhang's monkey face drooped and said, "You don't take me too seriously. Do you think it's so easy to dump arms? If you can't get it right, you have to lose your head. I can't do that. You'd better be smart."
Tan Renfeng said: "Then you see how much money is appropriate." Guo Renzhang said: "Gun. Get this count...... "Hold out two fingers." Bullets. Get this number......" held out another finger. Tan Renfeng said: "Is it a fast gun for 12 yuan. Bullets cost 3 cents a piece."
Guo Renzhang nodded and said, "Anyway, the money is not yours. Why be so reluctant." Tan Renfeng shook his head and said, "You can't say that. No one's money falls from the sky. Good. Good. It's up to you. It's up to you." Guo Renzhang picked up a glass of wine and said, "Let's do it, brothers."
Tan Renfeng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Hold up the glass and say, "Dry."
Two people have a good night. The next day. The two went to Guo Renzhang's house together. Just entered the door. Suddenly, a few officers came to Guo Renzhang with gifts in a happy manner. When they met, they said, "Hello. Hi Dao."" Congratulations. Treat. A treat."
Guo Renzhang is a little inexplicable. Ask the friends, "Where does the joy come from?" Come on. What are you doing with Eli Lilly?"
The officers were giggling. One officer said, "Don't be confused. We all know that. You still don't know. Treat. A treat." Guo Renzhang still said suspiciously: "I know something."
The officer said, "Guo Biaotong. I still have to call you Guo Biaotong. Didn't you hear about it? You've been reinstated. The order will come down as soon as I hear it." Guo Renzhang's face sank. Say, "Don't make such jokes. I haven't heard anything about me. Have you heard?"
Several people were talking. Sure enough, an officer came to deliver the order. The command says. After investigation. It turned out that there was a misunderstanding of Guo Renzhang. Hope don't take it to heart. Because Guo Renzhang made meritorious contributions to the revolutionary army. Re-appointed as the original standard.
Guo Renzhang was so excited that his face changed color. Trembling all over.
Those officers still clamored for Guo Renzhang to have a treat. Guo Renzhang happily took out 10 yuan. Let the family quickly go to the banquet. And they messed around. He had already left Tan Renfeng aside.
Tan Renfeng saw that he was here. It's really not fun. While Guo Renzhang washed his hands. Whispered to Guo Renzhang, "Then I'll go."
Guo Renzhang nodded and said, "I'm really sorry. Busy here. I won't leave you behind." Tan Renfeng reminded again: "Don't forget what I said." Guo Renzhang frowned. said: "What are you talking about...... Tan Renfeng whispered to his ear: "The matter of guns and ammunition."
Guo Renzhang's face changed and said, "When did you say such a thing. Again. You can't just say yes to such a thing. That's going to kill your head."
Tan Renfeng saw Guo Renzhang rebelled. Turn your face and don't admit it. I'm so angry that my stomach is bulging. No matter how honest a person is, he can't help but get angry. However, it is not convenient to have a seizure on such occasions. I had to say to Guo Renzhang stupidly: "Okay. All right. You're really a villain. Turn your face and don't recognize people." After speaking. Angrily left Guo Renzhang's house.
There was an officer who looked strange. Asked Guo Renzhang: "What does this person do? It's not a small temper."
Guo Renzhang said: "I want to pay the account. A scoundrel. Ignore him. Let's play ours." It's like nothing happened. And those officer friends and the sea and the sky are blowing nonsense.
A few days passed. Guo Renzhang pondered this matter again. I don't think I sell arms. I really suffer a little. So he sent his nephew to Vietnam to meet Hoang Xing. Verbally expressed his willingness to help the revolutionary army with guns and ammunition.
After Huang Xing knew the meaning of Guo Renzhang's nephew's visit. Neither humble nor arrogant. To put it mildly: "Actually. Our revolutionary army is not short of your guns and ammunition. It's just to give Brother Guo a chance. What the Guo brothers did. Some people have been seriously hurt. They all want to kill Brother Guo no matter what. It's just that I'm good at talking. I persuaded them to come down. What do people do? God is watching. It's about wanting to live well. I still want to die sooner. It's all done by yourself."
Nephew Guo has nothing to say.
At night. Huang Xing feasted guests. I also asked Guo nephew to accompany him. Between wine and food. Suddenly, a traffic officer sent 4 urgent letters. Huang Xing looked at Guo nephew. I read two letters behind his back. And he took the letter into his bosom." The other two letters were written in French. Huang Xing called the translator to translate. The interpreter told him: "In two letters it says. Paris will donate 100,000 yuan to help the revolutionary party immediately." Huang Xing said: "London's 200,000 yuan is also coming soon."
Guo nephew was overjoyed when he heard this. Eyebrows fluttered with joy.
At night. Huang Xing wants to sleep in the same bed with Guo nephew. Reminiscences. I didn't say a few words. Huang Xing fell asleep. The two letters in his arms were half exposed. Guo nephew thought. Huang Xing carried my two letters. There must be some military secrets. If only I knew. Go back and tell my uncle. I can get my uncle's praise again. Come to think of it. Nephew Guo secretly took out the two letters. Expand to have a look. It turned out to be a military situation about military movements. They are stamped with the seals of the First and Second Revolutionary Armies.
In fact. This is all Huang Xing's strategy. Know Guo Renzhang's character. This is a deception to him.
The next day. Nephew Guo invited Tan Renfeng to return to Qinzhou together. He made a report to Guo Renzhang one by one. Guo Renzhang thought that the revolutionary party was really rich and powerful. He agreed to cooperate with Huang Xing. happily brought up the matter of military pay. and made an appointment with Tan Renfeng on the time and place of the handover.
Huang Xing knew he was capricious. Although verbally also promised him. But they didn't dare to count on him all. He also sent comrades to French merchants to buy more than 100 box guns. Bullets purchased from Hong Kong have also arrived. Huang Xing thinks the time has come. So more than 200 comrades at home and abroad were gathered. An uprising was held. From March 27, 1908. From Annam in Vietnam. Crossing the border. Marching to Qinzhou.
One into the territory of Qinzhou. The rebels raised the blue sky and white sun flag. Blowing the trumpet. and posted notices from Huang Xing, commander-in-chief of the Southern Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. The people saw it along the way. Firecrackers are set off one after another to welcome.
After the rebels reached Komine. The local 2nd Battalion Qing Army heard the trumpet. I thought it was Guo Renzhang coming. More than 30 people were sent to greet him. The rebels met. Raise your gun and shoot. Five of them were killed, three fled, the remaining 20 people were so frightened that they surrendered their guns and surrendered, and the three who fled went back to report the news. More than 600 people of the Qing army in the 2nd battalion immediately poured out.
The main force of this offensive team. Or Liang Shaoting, who retreated into the 100,000 mountains on the border of Guangdong and Guizhou in the Fangcheng Uprising. On March 29, the revolutionary army advanced to Xiaofeng, and saw that the Qing army had built fortifications on the mountain, blocking the way for the revolutionary army to advance.
Huang Xing asked Liang Ruiyang to lead a team of people to attack tentatively. Haven't reached the top of the mountain yet. was shot indiscriminately by the Qing army. with a dense network of firepower. The team that forced Liang Ruiyang had to retreat down the mountain.
Huang Xing convened Liang Shaoting, Liang Ruiyang, Gong Ren, Tang Qingying and others to hold a military meeting in front of the position. Huang Xing's chubby face. A gentle, kind face. In a firm Hunan dialect, he said, "We only have more than 200 people. But the Qing army had more than 600. This battle is the first battle of this uprising. Can only win. Can't be defeated. Let's see how we fight."
Liang Ruiyang said: "Shike drum. Don't leak. The soldiers held back in the cave for a long time. I'm about to do a big job. I'm going to say it. Gather all our people. Rush up the hill. I don't believe it. I can't take it down the mountain."
Huang Xing smiled. Asked Gongren: "What do you say?"
Gong Ren said: "This is exactly the ploy of the Qing army. They relied on fortifications. Eat enough. Drink your fill. Waiting for us to ram him into the muzzle of his gun. More than 200 of us. Under the blow of more than 600 of their guns . There will be no small casualties. When the time comes, not only will you not be able to take the mountain. On the contrary, I can't retreat."
Liang Shaoting said: "I don't think it's okay to fight hard. Let's get around this enemy. Attack the city of Qinzhou from another road."
Gong Ren said, "It's not right. If only this enemy can't eat it. How can we attack Qinzhou City in the future? If only this enemy was stuck behind the ass. I can't get rid of it. I can't eat it. It's not the same as the last uprising. Sooner or later, it's another scourge."
Liang Shaoting said: "According to what you say. Hit and can't fight. Winding and not winding. What the hell are we going to do?"
Huang Xing smiled and said, "There is only one way. That's only defeat."
Huang Xingyi said defeated. Liang Shaoting, Liang Ruiyang, and Tang Qingying all looked at Huang Xing with wide skeptical eyes. I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd. Gong Ren smiled. He said, "You can only lose. You can only win if you lose."
Gong Ren said. Liang Shaoting, Liang Ruiyang, and Tang Qingying were even more confused.
Huang Xing smiled and said, "Not only will you lose. And to be defeated like. Really defeated. Captain Liang Shaoting. You lead your team. Attack it three or four more times. It's going to be worse and worse every time. Each time it loses more and more seriously. As long as the Qing army dares to pursue us. You just run. Follow the ravine all the way back. Then you've made a difference."
Liang Shaoting still didn't understand. He said, "We are few in number. I've finished tossing all the 100 or so people. Aren't we really going to lose?" Liang Ruiyang also muttered: "If you let Qing Gouzi defeat it. We might as well not fight. Disband it as soon as possible."
Gong Ren smiled. said to Liang Shaoting: "It's okay to listen to Huang Dudu's words. Gong is also good. It's okay to live. has its own Huang Du Du to bear. We'll just do it." Liang Shaoting shouted, "I will carry out the order. Let's talk ugly ahead. If you lose the battle. Just don't put all the blame on me."
Huang Xing smiled. Say, "I'm still the same sentence. You just have to lose really. Defeated like. Attract the Qing army to chase us. You're a great achievement."
Liang Shaoting sullenly organized his team to attack.
Liang Shaoting led his hundred or so people to climb up the mountain. There is no sound on the mountain. The muzzles of black holes were aimed at the revolutionary army. Halfway up the mountain. Liang Shaoting told his subordinates to be careful. Use rocks as cover. Slowly advance towards the hill attack. Constantly shooting at the hill. When there are still seventy or eighty meters from the top of the mountain. Suddenly a burst of guns rang out from the top of the hill. The revolutionary army fell by one or twenty . Liang Shaoting told the team to lie down. Shot at the hill for a while. Then he carried the wounded number and retreated.
Liang Shaoting attacked the mountain twice. Due to the increase in casualties. The number of attackers is decreasing one time at a time. When the last offense is made. There were only sixty or seventy people.
The Qing army on the hill observed the situation of the revolutionary army clearly. They see that the time comes. Suddenly there was a shout. Began to rush down the hill. Liang Shaoting commanded the troops to retreat. The Qing army followed the ass in hot pursuit. The revolutionary army ran into the ravine. Guns, bags, and miscellaneous items were lost all the way.
Liang Shaoting scolded while running: "Damn. Huang Xing. Huang xing. Where's your centaur? Why don't you come and help me. It's too late. My team will be reimbursed by the Qing army."
In front is a valley. The mountains on both sides are steep. Liang Shaoting led the sixty or seventy people to run while fighting. The Qing army rushed after him. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Liang Shaoting.
Liang Shaoting shouted: "It's over. Finished. Looks like we're going to be here today. Huang Xing. Huang xing. Your strange soldier. Where have they gone?"
At this critical time. Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire on the hills on both sides. Condescendingly, countless bullets were fired. The Qing army in the valley has nowhere to hide. Full exposure in broad daylight. One by one, they all became live targets. They were shot and fell.
Liang Shaoting was overjoyed when he saw it. If you don't fight back at this time, wait for when. Lead the troops and turn around. Rush towards the Qing army. The Qing soldiers who did not die only heard the shouts that shook the sky. Killings abound. I can't figure out how many revolutionary troops there are. It's too late to escape. Where is there still the heart to fight. The ranks were in disarray. They fled desperately on the way they came. The officers can't restrain the troops. He was also caught in the crowd of soldiers and fled for his life.
This battle. Killed more than 60 Qing soldiers. More than 150 people were taken prisoner. Countless guns and ammunition were seized. The revolutionary army won a great victory. It was only found out through the interrogation of the captives. These two battalions of soldiers are Guo Renzhang's subordinates.
to these more than 150 captives. Huang Xing told them about the revolution. More than 70 people were willing to join the revolutionary army. The rest are unwilling to join the revolutionary army. Send it home.
Liang Shaoting's team. Not only did it replenish the troops. And there are a lot more people than there were. Lede Liang Shaoting said to Huang Xing: "I have convinced you in this battle. How to fight in the future. Listen to you." Huang Xing said: "This is called the way of others. and heal others. This area is full of mountains. They take advantage of the mountains. Stop us. We'll use the mountains to ambush them, too."
Gong Ren said with a heavy heart: "These 2 battalions are Guo Renzhang's subordinates. Now it's a complete tear of the skin. Beware of Guo Renzhang coming to retaliate."
Huang Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Guo Renzhang is really asking for his own hardship. It turned out to be our revolutionary comrades. In the future, they are reluctant to follow our revolution. Played a conspiracy with us. This is good. We beat him up. Looks like we're going to have a big fight with Guo Renzhang sooner or later."
Sure enough, as Huang Xing expected. The remnants of Guo Renzhang's 2 battalions will be defeated and will return to Qinzhou City. Guo Renzhang was furious. Immediately took 1 battalion from Qinzhou City. Plus the original 2 battalions. A piece of momentum rushed towards the area around Xiaofeng. Trying to find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the revolutionary army.
He's going to fight a decisive battle. Huang Xing didn't fight him. Lead the revolutionary army and turn him around the ravine. Rotated for a few days. Exhausted Guo Renzhang's troops. People are sleepy and tired.
April 2nd. In the vicinity of Madu Mountain. Huang Xing ordered Liang Ruiyang to go around to the left. Attack Guo Renzhang's back. Liang Shaoting from the front. Attack its flanks. He led a team of Gong Ren and Tang Qingying. Storm his front from the right. Three passers-by and one pinch. The fight made Guo Renzhang unbearable. The morale of the army is in turmoil.
Tang Qingying rushed to the front with a fast gun in his hand. Specially selected to ride a horse as an officer's shooting. A Qing army battalion commander riding a horse is brandishing a pistol and shouting at the soldiers to charge. I just heard "bang." A gunshot rang out. The battalion commander fell off his horse with a "ouch-" sound. Rolled over a few and rolled to the side of the road.
Guo Renzhang didn't look good. Hurriedly jumped off his horse. Just got down. I could hear the screeching sound of a stray bullet. Flew over the horse. Frightened, Guo Renzhang hurriedly hid behind a soldier. I just heard "bang." A gunshot rang out. The soldier was hit by Tang Qingying again and fell. Where did Guo Renzhang hide. Tang Qingying's bullet chased it to wherever it went. Frightened, Guo Renzhang hurriedly hid in a crowded place.
The revolutionary army rushed over. The Qing soldiers who did not die raised their guns and surrendered. Guo Renzhang's snowflake horse is not controlled by its owner. It's running around like crazy.
Tang Qingying saw it rush over. Suddenly stood in front of it. The horse saw that there was a man standing in front of him. All at once two front hooves are in the air. There was a frightened hiss of "-". Just as its two front hooves fell, it was about to step on Tang Qingying. Tang Qingying flashed suddenly. Escaped the horse. Then the whole body jumps up. Rode on horseback. Dead grip on the horse's neck. Then grabbed the stiff rope. Gallop up.
Snowflake Horse saw a living man riding up. Rush forward with destiny. Jumping up and down while galloping. Trying to take Tang Qingying off the horse. Tang Qingying bowed down. Clamp the horse's belly between the legs. Hold the stiff rope tightly with both hands. It's like you're stuck to a horse. Snowflake Horse looked at it and couldn't do anything. I had to go back and run back to the Qing army. Dust all the way up. Knocked down a few Qing soldiers.
Some of the Qing soldiers recognized the horse. They dodged to both sides. Tang Qingying saw a dragon flag of the Qing army. Secretly freed a hand. When the snowflake horse galloped in front of him. Grabbed the flag violently. Take it to your arms. The Qing army's standard-bearer "ouch-" sighed. Taken by the snowflake horse. Stumbled a few steps. Tang Qingying strangled the horse stiff rope again. Circled back the horse. Then clamp the legs. The horse galloped. Put that flag bearer under his horse......
The revolutionary army is under the leadership of Tang Qingying. Charge hard. Brave and slash. The Qing army was defeated. Defeat in the back. After the victory of Madu Mountain. The local party and the masses came to join the revolutionary army. The revolutionary army grew to more than 600 people.
Huang Xing knows. Rely on these forces to attack Qinzhou. The number of troops is still insufficient. Just train the army in the mountains. Intensify your preparations. Wait for the moment. Attack Qinzhou.
