There is a small city with a population of less than 30,000 people in the border area of the province called Li Nan City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Zuo Zongtang led an army of 150,000 to encircle and suppress the "short-haired thieves" and failed, Li Hongzhang dispatched troops to encircle the "short-haired thieves", but he did not dare to take the initiative to start a war with the "short-haired thieves", so he could only defend the city, and a Qing army of more than 3,000 people was stationed in Li Nancheng.

However, the discipline of the Qing army was very bad, the residents of Li Nan City were unbearable, and the common people were afraid that the war would spread to Li Nan City, so they packed up and left Li Nan City, far away, and only a small number of people were unwilling to leave.

There were fewer residents in Li Nan City, and there were more troops that could be accommodated, and seven or eight thousand Qing troops were stationed in Li Nan City in the future.

However, at the end of the eighty-fifth year, after the completion of the training of the three towns of the Beiyang Army, Li Nancheng became the station of the second town of the Beiyang Army, and the miscellaneous army originally stationed in the city was transferred to other areas.

On April 14, 88, Liu Zhengshan, who had been promoted to the assistant commander of the infantry of the second town, received an order from the Han Kingdom: In the early morning of the 16th, Operation Changing the Sky officially began. (Pipe belt equivalent to battalion commander)

After seeing this news, Liu Zhengshan, who was originally unfazed, suddenly became excited, and it was important for the end of several years of latent life.

In the evening, Liu Zhengshan gathered the main members of Kyodo Society and announced to them: "Comrades, tell you good news, the Han Kingdom is about to go to war against the Manchus. ”

"Really?"

"It's been too long to wait for this day."

"This time we must overthrow the Manchus and drive out those hateful Tartars."

When the members of Kyodo News got the news, they were excited to shout, but they resisted the urge in their hearts and knew how excited they were by looking at their red faces.

Liu Zhengshan: "Everyone calm down, the Han Kingdom is about to start a war against the Manchu Qing, and the opportunity to realize our value has also arrived, as long as we take this city, everyone will have the qualifications for promotion." ”

Hearing the president's words, the people in the room fell silent, thinking that they joined the Beiyang Army not to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but to make contributions, isn't it a good opportunity now? As long as Kyodo Society takes Li Nancheng, the Han Kingdom will definitely not treat them badly.

Liu Zhengshan saw that they were all calm, and then continued: "Although there are many of our comrades in the second town, it is not a simple matter to take Li Nan City, we need to prepare a thorough battle plan, and we must take Li Nan City in the fastest time, so that others can see our ability." ”

"The president is right, comrades only have five bullets in their hands, and once the battle is prolonged, it will be very disadvantageous to us, so it is better for us to concentrate some bullets and occupy the arsenal as quickly as possible." Vice President Wang Yuan first put forward his own views.

The arsenal in the city of Li Nan was guarded by Zhou Shengchuan, the commander of the second town, and was basically a die-hard Manchu loyalist.

"We can also take the Command House first."

"We have to take the gates, don't let them escape."

The members of Kyodo News expressed their views one after another, and if others had different opinions, they would also put them forward, and the final uprising battle plan was formed: In the early morning of the 16th, the rebel troops first concentrated ammunition, and then divided their actions, with the order of the rebel troops led by Liu Zhengshan to attack the arsenal, and the other rebel troops launched attacks on the Commandery's Mansion and the city gate, and completely occupied the city of Li Nan in the shortest possible time.

This uprising battle plan was based on the fact that more than half of the ordinary soldiers and lower-level officers and one-third of the middle-level officers in the second town joined the Kyodo Society, and at this time the Kyodo Society had become the largest organization in the second town of the Beiyang Army, and the other organizations had been "swallowed up" by the Kyodo Society.

There are not many die-hard Manchu loyalists in the second town, after all, most of the people who join the army (ordinary soldiers) are for a mixed meal, not really want to fight for the Manchu Qing to the death, after the education of Kyodosha, more than half of the soldiers understand what is the country, what is the nation, soldiers should fight for the country, fight for their own nation, and the Manchu rulers who lie on the common people and suck the blood of the common people are sinful.

Similar to the second town, the agents of the intelligence department of the Beiyang Army in the other eight towns also began to be active, planning various uprising plans, preparing to deal a heavy blow to the rotten Manchu Qing in the early morning of the 16th.

The command of the nine towns of the Beiyang Army, they have a more or less understanding of the situation under their command, but they are unable to deal with it effectively.

More than half of the 11,000 people in a town are going to rebel, how to solve this problem and kill them all? Who knows how many soldiers will be able to obey the orders of the commander, no matter what the outcome, in the end, the town's combat effectiveness will be greatly damaged.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty spent four years to train out ten towns of the Beiyang Army, can there be another four years to train out another ten towns? The "short-haired thief" would not give the Manchus this chance.

After learning about some of the situation of their subordinates, the nine commanders were silent, did not report to the Qing court, and did not ruthlessly kill these "traitors", and the nine commanders did not know whether the people around them should believe it now, whether one day they would walk in front, and someone would shoot at them in the back.

They have already seen that the Qing Dynasty is going to die, and the general trend is irreversible.

However, the Qing court was kind to them, and it was impossible for them to easily fall to the "short-haired thieves".

Agents from the Beiyang Army are in action, and there are also agents in the 600,000 Qing army on the outskirts of the Han Kingdom.

Compared with the rebellion against the Beiyang Army, it is much more difficult to rebel against the 600,000 miscellaneous army, and among the 600,000 miscellaneous army, there are many "old fritters", money-seeing, and ungrateful, so when carrying out a rebellion operation, the agents only choose those who hate the Manchus or people of insight to rebel.

On the 14th, the agents who received orders from the Han Kingdom conveyed a message to the Qing generals and middle- and lower-level officers who had rebelled against the 600,000 miscellaneous troops: The Han Kingdom guaranteed that all ordinary soldiers who defected to the Han Kingdom would be distributed fields, and the officers and generals could choose to join the Han Army or choose to get a sum of money to go home.

However, for the sake of secrecy, the matter of plotting against ordinary soldiers or militia will be placed on the 16th, when the Han army launches an attack, under the pressure of the Han army outside, the success of the rebellion against ordinary soldiers will be greater, after all, the Han army comes to actual combat training from time to time, and scares the 600,000 miscellaneous army enough. (The time when the Han army left Sichuan was during the day on the 16th)

Time passed minute by minute, and when I waited, it was always so tormenting.

Bang!

"Kill!"
