The one hundred and third round of Xiamen retreated without guns
Huang Fu was very happy about the growth of the righteous army on the surface, but his heart was not easy, Xiamen was far away, along the way there may be how many Qing soldiers in front of them to intercept them, there are still chasing soldiers, a little rest for a few days, the Qing army behind will flock to the situation, the situation is really not optimistic.
He silently came to the threshing floor and watched Gong Ren commanding a team of recruits in training. Although the recruits trained very seriously, there were also many jokes, some recruits looked left and right when others turned back, and they were at a loss, and some recruits accidentally misfired and injured their own people when firing live ammunition. The most troublesome thing is that not only are there few fast guns, but also there is a shortage of ammunition, even broadswords and spears are not enough, and some volunteers can only carry hoes and guillotine blades as temporary weapons.
Huang Fu walked up to Gong Ren and asked, "Do you think these soldiers can fight?" Gong Ren said confidently: "Marshal Huang, as long as you give me a month, I can train them into real soldiers." ”
Huang Fu shook his head: "How can I have a month, maybe three days and two days, or maybe I have to start a war tomorrow." ”
Gong Ren said, "Can you give me another 2,000 guns, 1,500 will do." Bullets, at least 100,000 rounds. Huang Fu shook his head again: "I don't open an arsenal, where can I get guns and bullets?" It can only be counted on to have weapons and ammunition in Xiamen. Along the way, they could only hope to seize guns and ammunition from the Qing army. ”
Gong Ren sighed and shook his head: "A soldier has no guns, no bullets, and no military training, he can only be regarded as a common man, how can he expect them to fight?" ”
Huang Fu also sighed and said: "The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, we can only hope to reach Xiamen as soon as possible, and we also hope that the weapons and ammunition in Xiamen are ready, just waiting for us to get them." Gong Ren said, "I hope so!" I hope there are no soldiers along the way, but is this possible!? ”
Huang Fu was reluctant to discuss these thorny military issues with Gong Ren anymore, so he changed the topic and said: "You spend money on lamps all day long, and you have written so many things, so you can write a military summary, you can also take it out for me to see, and I can study and study." ”
Gong Ren also hurriedly blocked his mouth and said: "Marshal Huang, let's not talk about whether this issue is good or not, the heavenly machine must not be leaked, it is really the heavenly opportunity that cannot be leaked." ”
The two men were talking quietly when suddenly a liaison officer came to report that several Japanese had arrived at the headquarters and asked to meet Huang Fu.
Huang Fu and Gong Ren glanced at each other and felt that something was wrong, what were the Japanese doing at this critical time? The two of them hurried to the headquarters and saw that Zheng Shiliang and several dragon leaders were also in the headquarters, anxiously waiting for Huang Fu.
When Zheng Shiliang saw Huang Fu coming, he introduced the Japanese and said, "This is our marshal Mr. Huang Fu." A bearded Japanese hurriedly bent down to Huang Fu, bowed deeply ninety degrees, and then said in half-baked Chinese: "My name is Yoshimasa Yamada, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen asked me to come, and brought the order issued by him himself." As he spoke, he tore open his shirt and took out a letter from a crack in the cloth for Huang Fu and Zheng Shiliang to read.
The two of them saw that it was indeed Sun Yat-sen's handwriting, and the paper read: "The political situation has changed suddenly, and foreign aid is difficult, even if you go to Xiamen, you will not get anything. ”
Huang Fu and Zheng Shiliang looked at each other with hesitant eyes, and hurriedly handed them over to Wang Longtou and Gong Ren.
Wang Longtou first took the letter, widened his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see what it was, and then threw it to Gong Ren, and said impatiently: "I can't recognize a few words, you don't know, if you have something to say, suffocate me." Gongren said to Wang Longtou: "Mr. Sun said that things have changed, foreign aid cannot arrive, even when we arrive in Xiamen, there is no weapons and ammunition, whether to advance or retreat, please decide for ourselves." ”
Wang Long's eyebrows were raised, his eyes widened, and his hair almost stood on end in anger. He shouted loudly: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." It turned out that we were going to meet with the comrades of Xin'an Humen, and we were not allowed to rendezvous, so we were asked to fight in Xiamen, but we finally got here, and we were almost in Xiamen, and we were not allowed to fight. Isn't this selling straw to buy hay, and being poor and tossing! ”
Huang Fu frowned and asked Yamada Yoshimasa: "What the hell is going on, please explain it clearly?" ”
Yoshimasa Yamada said slowly: "It turned out that Mr. Sun bought a batch of arms for the Philippine Independence Army, and after the Philippine Independence Army movement failed, Mr. Sun borrowed this batch of weapons from Peng Xi, the representative of the Philippine Independence Army, and asked Taiwan's Governor Kodama Gentaro to assist in handing over these weapons to the rebels in Xiamen in Taiwan. Unexpectedly, when Mr. Sun negotiated with the Japanese Nakamura Yaroku to extract this batch of ordnance, he learned that these ordnance were all unusable scrap iron. It turns out that Yaroku Nakamura has been playing a scam all along, and he has bought all the money from the Philippines into some cheap and unusable weapons. ”
Several people listened to Yoshimasa Yamada's words and were silent for a while. After a pause, Gong Ren asked again: "What other important things have happened during this time?" ”
Yamada Yoshimasa said: "Due to the successive victories of the Eastern Expedition, the Qing officials were afraid, and Pei Jingfu of Nanhai County sent his subordinate Zhi Huaixuan to Hong Kong with the old traitor Chen Tingwei to meet Yang Quyun and propose three peace talks. The first is to recruit and appoint the leaders of the party to the provincial government's deputy generals, the second is to bring 5,000 troops, and the third is to give a severance pay of tens of thousands. Yang Quyun sent a telegram to the premier, saying that this is a great opportunity for our party, and if it accepts the request of the Qing officials, it will be possible to rely on it in the future, and it will be possible to continue Li Shimin's words. At that time, the prime minister was stationed in Taiwan, and the reply telegram directly rejected the proposal. ”
Gong Ren scolded: "This Yang Quyun is really confused, he tried his best to make a bad idea, wouldn't that be bought by the Qing court." ”
After a pause, Huang Fu said, "That matter is too far away from us, let's talk about our own business!" For such a big matter, whether it is advance or retreat, I can't make my own decisions, everyone has to have the final say. Zheng Shiliang also said: "I think we should hold a military enlargement meeting, with all officers above the battalion level participating, and let everyone agree democratically." ”
Wang Longtou shouted loudly: "Let's discuss a bird, you two can just watch it, since there is no benefit in going to Xiamen, it is better for us to go back to our hometown." Familiarity is a treasure, and then unite with comrades from Shangxin'an and Humen to go to Guangzhou and capture the old thief Deshou alive. Gong Ren said: "Whether it's going in, it's good to retreat, it's good to discuss, it's just to be fast, and when the Qing army surrounds here, it's difficult to get out." ”
Huang Fu immediately ordered: "Inform the officers above the battalion level to come to the headquarters for a meeting quickly, and we will decide these important matters immediately." ”
At the military meeting, after some debate, everyone finally decided that since Xiamen could not go, it was better to return to the original base area and make another plan. When he returned to Sanzhoutian, he tried to buy weapons and ammunition from Hong Kong, joined the revolutionary armies in Xin'an and Humen, and entered Guangzhou.
The plan was set, but now the 20,000-strong troops are too large, and it is inconvenient to march, cross the sea, and eat, so in order to return to Sanzhoutian smoothly, they had to disband most of the rebels on the spot, leaving only more than 1,000 foreign guns, and returning to Sanzhoutian by land and water. The water route is led by Huang Fu, and the land route is led by Zheng Shiliang.
Gong Ren and Wang Dayan followed Huang Fu and withdrew from the waterway.
Huang Fu didn't have any idea about withdrawing from the waterway, because he had thought about advancing and retreating, and he didn't think about retreating from the waterway at all, so he had to carefully observe the mountains and rivers, land and forests there in front of the map.
Gong Ren said to Huang Fu: "Don't look at it, we don't have the time to study it carefully." 140 miles to the south, by the sea, there is a port called Xiaowan Port, where there are many fishing boats, so let's go back to Sanshutian, right? ”
Huang Fu was a little puzzled and asked, "You are not from here, how do you know?" Gong Ren said: "For the generals, not only must you know how to advance, but also know how to retreat, here for a few days, I have already sent someone to reconnoiter around, how can I not know this place." ”
Huang Fu smiled and said: "If you really have you, you won't lose it, then it's up to you, let's move towards Xiaowan Port!" ”
The team of 500 people quietly advanced towards Xiaowan Port, in order not to alarm the Qing army and local regimental training along the way, they could only march at night, people were silent, the horses tightened their mouths, pressed their tongues, and marched quietly. At dawn, we arrived at the port of Little Bay. The team was hidden, Huang Fu and Gong Ren went to the beach to watch, and sure enough, some small fishing boats stopped there, but the bad thing was that a Qing army patrol boat was also anchored there at some point.
Huang Fu asked Gongren: "I didn't expect that there was a small warship of the Qing army, what should I do?" Gong Ren smiled and said, "Pick up the grass and beat the rabbit - take it with you!" Huang Fu smiled and said: "I also know that you have a way, you have broken through all these dangers, and you still care about this small boat, you can lead people to solve it." Gong Ren smiled and said, "You're just waiting for my good news, right?" ”
Gong Ren ordered dozens of backbones such as Wang Dayan, Li Si, and Zhang San to carry out this task.
Xiao Qingying didn't do it, so she had to make trouble: "Dear father, why don't you want me to go." I'll go too! I'm going too! ”
Gong Jian raised his face and scared her: "Xiao Qingying, obedient, this is to fight, not to go to the market." ”
Xiao Qingying was unhappy: "Hey, dear father, why don't you take the steamed bun and don't use it as dry food!" Whose credit is it to shoot the land commander Deng Wanlin, isn't it me! Even Uncle Huang said that I was the number one warrior in the rebel army, why don't you believe me. Tang Qingying saw Huang Fu smiling at herself next to her, so she said to Huang Fu: "You said yes, Uncle Huang?" ”
Huang Fu frowned and said, "Yes, why didn't I remember what I said." Xiao Qingying, don't follow your father, uncle will play with you! ”
Xiao Qingying was even more unhappy, and said noisily: "Uncle Huang, you are such an adult, how can you talk nonsense." At that time, Uncle Wang Dayan was also by his side, Uncle Wang, you should be a witness! ”
Wang Dayan also frowned and said, "I haven't heard this sentence, when did Marshal Huang say this." Xiao Qingying, you just wait here, and in a while, we'll be back and bring you something delicious. ”
Xiao Qingying looked at the rogue behavior of the adults, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and no one was facing him, so she couldn't help crying angrily, crying and saying, "You adults, none of you tell the truth, woo woo...... Woowoo...... You adults, woo woo woo...... Woowoo...... are bullying children, what kind of ability is it to bully me, what kind of ability is this child, you have the ability to beat Deng Wanlin, you have the ability to take away the ship! ”
Crying Gong Ren's heart was also a little sour, so he hurriedly hugged her and coaxed her to say: "Xiao Qingying, be obedient, adults are all for your good." The bullets are raining down, or there is no benefit in getting to the side. At this moment, Xiao Qingying was even more unhappy, jumping and jumping in Gongren's arms and said: "I'm going, I'm going, why don't you want me to go." If I'm just a warrior, should I go, why don't you let me go? ”
Gong Ren was anxious, put her down, and yelled at her: "Be obedient, if you are disobedient, I will have someone tie you up." ”
"You dare!" Tang Qingying was also anxious, and suddenly pulled out a scimitar from her waist and gestured to others, "If anyone dares to come, see if I don't split him." ”
It's stiff now, and it doesn't end well, and I'm really angry that my stomach is about to burst. Xiao Qingying also refused to give in, the scimitar was dangling in her hand, and three or five people couldn't get together.
