Chapter 352: The Restoration of Anhui Province
It turned out that Wang Qingyun had always been a revolutionary party cultivated by Wang Tianpei, Zhang Huitao, Sun Yuyun and others, and Wang Qingyun also secretly joined the League, but Wang Qingyun was the first director of the League Defense Bureau, so it was inconvenient to show his attitude, so he lurked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 When the White Turban Army went south, Wang Qingyun led the patrol battalion to know that they were defeated by the White Turban Army, so they withdrew into the mountains. When the White Turban Army left, Wang Qingyun immediately led the patrol battalion to occupy Shou County, and announced the recovery of Shou County, recruited troops, and expanded to 20,000 people within a few days.
Wang Qingyun was recommended to be the commander of the Huaishang Revolutionary People's Army, and Zhang Huitao was recommended to be the chief of the general staff of the Huaishang Revolutionary Army, and the two led 20,000 troops south to support the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Army. However, although the number of people is as high as more than 20,000, there are only 2,000 guns, of which Hanyang can only make 800, and the remaining 1,200 are earthen guns and shotguns, and there are even honest guns, not to mention that compared with the Beiyang Army and the Revolutionary Army, even the equipment of the White Turban Army is much stronger than them.
Wang Tianpei and others were grateful for Wang Qingyun's support in the south, but the biggest problem at hand was to prevent the tall and strong Xun army from being annihilated, after all, the Xun army was the team they asked to support the revolution in Anhui Province, and if they were completely annihilated, it would not only mean that there was a huge rift in the revolutionary party, but also have a great impact on the revolutionary flame.
"What to do, what to do now?" Wang Tianpei is completely the master who can cause trouble but not settle the matter, and at this time, the six gods have no master.
Li Qianyu immediately raised his voice and said: "It's a big deal to directly fight their White Turban Army, those bandits will have to fight with us sooner or later, decide who is the lord of Anhui Province, it is better to take the opportunity to kill them first." ”
"No." Shi Peiran immediately dissuaded, "You don't see that the Qing army has not moved, if the Qing army has a sound, or we are in a hurry to force the White Turban Army to the Qing army, the fire of revolution in Anhui Province will be extinguished." ”
Neither left nor right, and when they were at a loss, someone suddenly reported that the White Turban Army had withdrawn.
"What's going on?" Everyone hurriedly asked.
"Jiangxi Governor Li Liejun personally led 5,000 troops across the river, and the White Turban Army withdrew when he saw this, and the siege of the riverside has been lifted." The guard reported.
"Let's go, let's go visit Governor Li."
After saying that, everyone immediately rushed to the riverside and saw Li Liejun, who also smiled bitterly after seeing everyone, and said: "It's all my majesty who has no way, and I deserve this lesson." Everyone blushed, after all, they used this trick when they drove the wolf and the tiger, but made Li Liejun apologize.
Sun Yuyun, a representative of the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Party, hurriedly said: "How dare you dare, they are all revolutionary comrades, where can they divide each other." The fact that Li Dudu was able to come to Anqing in person is enough to show that Li Dudu supported the revolution in Anhui Province. ”
Li Liejun asked: "Where did this White Turban Army come from, why have I never heard of it before?" ”
Wang Tianpei hurriedly said: "The White Turban Army is their nickname, they call themselves the Northern Anhui Revolutionary Army, but they have white towels on their heads, so everyone habitually calls them the White Turban Army." The White Turban Army was originally a bandit in northern Anhui, and was cleared and suppressed by the Jiangbei Army a few years ago, and later the Jiangbei Army was stationed in Huaibei and Fengyang Mansion, and the control over other places was not strict, which allowed the bandits in Huaibei to recover. The investment of the White Turban Army was originally a bandit in eastern Henan, and then joined the Beiyang Army. This tall master took a team with him when he fled, and this team was the elite of Wang Yanwang, so he was extremely brave after becoming a bandit, and gradually absorbed other bandit teams in northern Anhui into his own team, and gradually became bigger. Because the tall master was once under the command of King Yama, even if the two sides had comradeship, they did not really kill the team of the tall master, but only drove him to Shandong Province and Henan Province. This time, Wuhan was recovered, and the upsurge of the national anti-Qing Dynasty began, and the tall boss led his troops back from Henan, and the Jiangbei Army hesitated between the revolution and the Qing Dynasty, and sat back and watched the tall and strong bandit team become stronger and stronger, which gave rise to the origin of the White Turban Army. ”
"So, the White Turban Army is considered to be the subordinate of King Yama?" Li Liejun asked.
Wang Tianpei said: "It's not really, after all, it was Wang Yan's army that drove the White Turban Army out of Anhui Province." ”
Shi Peiran added: "It was not Wang Yan's army that drove away the White Turban Army, but Wang Zhuge 's army, when the White Turban Army was driven away, Yangzhou's army had become the Jiangbei Army, and it was no longer the twenty-fourth mixed association of Wang Yan. ”
Li Liejun said: "Whether it is Wang Yan or Wang Zhuge , they are all brothers of their own family, but this White Turban Army calls itself a revolutionary army, but it is doing banditry, which is really a lot of disasters. If they do bad things under the guise of revolution, they are sabotaging the revolution, so we must first defeat them, otherwise they will stab us in the back, and then take refuge in the Manchus, and all the fruits of the revolution in Anhui Province will be destroyed. ”
"It's just that we don't have many troops." Wang Tianpei smiled bitterly, "Our Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Army only has less than 2,000 men...... Coupled with Li Dudu's people, there are only more than 7,000 people, and there are tens of thousands of white turban troops. ”
Shi Peiran shook his head and said: "I heard that they recruited troops in the north of the city this morning, because of the battle with the Xun army, many people ...... They have joined the White Turban Army. ”
Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly, Li Liejun also blushed, the Jiangxi Revolutionary Army actually forced the people of Anqing to take refuge in bandits to beat them, which made the Jiangxi Revolutionary Party too embarrassed, thinking of this, Li Liejun immediately ordered Huang Huanzhang, the head of the independent regiment, to be tied up and executed in public.
After Huang Huanzhang was shot, the spirit of the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Party finally eased, and Sun Yuyun advised everyone to wait patiently for a few days. After discussion, everyone analyzed that it was very reasonable, so they sent someone to send money to Gao Dazhuang to stabilize Gao Dazhuang's mind.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Gao Dazhuang proposed to immediately select the governor of Anhui Province, and he proposed to serve as the governor of Anhui Province, and the rest of the people went back to their respective fiefdoms and county magistrates, so that everyone could enjoy the fruits of the victory of the revolution.
"This bandit!" Wang Tianpei scolded angrily, "You can't change the true character of a bandit!" ”
Shi Peiran hurriedly persuaded: "Everyone don't be impatient, stabilize his mood." ”
At this time, someone secretly reported that Xu Dahong, the commander of the 31st Mixed Association, had escaped and went to Shanghi by boat with his family's gold, silver, jewelry, and concubines, and the 61st Standard had become a revolutionary army, and Zhu Jiabao, the governor of Anhui Province, had become a lonely man.
Everyone immediately cheered, and then led the army to force Zhu Jiabao in the palace, and Zhu Jiabao could only officially announce to the outside world in order to protect himself: "Anhui Province is restored." ”
