What Xia Jun didn't know was that the autonomy of northwest Fujian had aroused the attention of the whole of China, and even the great powers were paying attention to the situation in northwest Fujian.

However, the great powers did not care too much about the situation in northwest Fujian, because there were not many interests in northwest Fujian, and these powers were more concerned about the Yangtze River valley.

Especially the UK!

The stability of the Yangtze River valley is equivalent to the interests of the British, and once the Yangtze River region is in turmoil, then their interests will be harmed.

However, the United States is very concerned about the situation in Fujian, because Fujian is the sphere of influence of the United States, and although it is not a piece of meat that is too fat, the United States still cares more about the market in Fujian.

Because Xia Jun didn't send any message, he just turned on the power and autonomy. The Baolu Movement had not yet broken out, so the Chinese region had not yet been as far away from the Manchus as it had been during the Xinhai Revolution.

So no one responded to Xia Jun's autonomy, although the Manchu Qing was shocked, but it was not too alarmed, after all, this is only autonomy, now the Qing court is engaged in autonomy, but rural autonomy, northwest Fujian has risen to a wide range of local autonomy, which the Qing court does not want to see, so just let Songshou go to pacify northwest Fujian.

At this time, Songshou was full of anger, and 30,000 Qing troops advanced by land and water, going upriver along the Min River, and also mobilized small steamers of foreigners to help with transportation.

However, these small steamers do not dare to go up again after arriving in Nanping, the water flow of Jianxi is too turbulent, there has always been a saying that "up and down 36 beaches, beaches are ghost gates", only experienced boatmen dare to drive a sparrow boat (3~5 tons of small wooden boats) to walk in Jianxi. In 1905, the foreigners opened a route from the mouth of the Minjiang River to Shaxian, but did not open a route to Jian'an.

Matsushou personally went into battle and vowed to exterminate the Jianzhou Security Corps to avenge the murder of his son. He was accompanied by Sun Daoren, the commander of the 10th town of the New Army.

Fujian was not without a new army, there was a provisional tenth town, and the tenth town was divided into two parts, one in Fuzhou and the other in Ningde. In terms of equipment, the differences between the various armies in Beiyang are relatively large, and the weapons of each country are available (the equipment of the six towns of Beiyang is relatively unified).

In terms of artillery battalions, the Beiyang Army adopted a relatively advanced 'six-artillery system', that is, an artillery company was organized with six artillery pieces, while generally an army had three artillery battalions, nine artillery companies, and 54 artillery pieces.

Each artillery battalion has 18 artillery pieces, and these 18 guns are divided into 9 field guns and 9 mountain guns. However, the artillery of some Beiyang Army is not in this ratio, some have more field artillery, less mountain artillery, and some have more mountain artillery and less field artillery.

The advantage of the six-concocted system is that the firepower is strong, and it is not easy to withdraw from the battle because of the loss of one or two guns, and the disadvantage is that the requirements for the terrain are higher, and there is no four-concocted concealment. The Tenth Town, on the other hand, does not have a standard three-gun battalion, only one, of which there are more mountain artillery.

Sun Daoren's 5,000 new army was mainly to defend Fuzhou in peacetime, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's control over the local area was very weak.

Due to the fact that the League had launched several uprisings in Guangdong, the Qing court believed that the uprising would sooner or later spread to Fujian, so Sun Daoren was transferred to Fuzhou, and 3,000 new troops were responsible for the defense of Fuzhou.

The reason why Sun Daoren was chosen was because the Manchus believed that Sun Daoren was deeply favored by the emperor, and that the revolutionary party was always an outsider, and it was absolutely foolproof to hand over the defense of Fuzhou to Sun Daoren.

However, in the Xinhai Revolution, it was precisely this Sun Daoren's defection that caused Fujian to break away from the rule of the Manchus.

Sun Daoren is not a revolutionary party, whether it is a revolution depends on the direction of the wind, Xia Jun did not cause a huge revolution at this time, so Songshou appointed him as the forward force, he did not hesitate at all, in addition to leaving 2,000 new troops, let Xu Chongzhi stay in Fuzhou, the other 3,000 people followed Sun Daoren into the Jianzhou Security Corps.

The strength of the Jianzhou Security Regiment seems to be good, but Sun Daoen is confident that his troops are regular troops, and no matter how much the local security regiment jumps, it can't jump the regular army! For Sun Daoren, who has inspected the book and graduated from the regular martial arts academy, it is not a problem to confidently win the small security group.

The 3,000 new troops marched all the way along the official road, which is much easier to walk now, and I heard that it has been widened by the security regiment. The last time Sun Daoren entered the rebellion of the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Pucheng County, it was not so easy to go, and it was that time that he was appreciated by the Manchus.

Of the 30,000 troops that Songshou put together this time, only Sun Daoren's 3,000 new troops had more combat effectiveness, the other Eight Banners had 3,000 soldiers, 15,000 green battalion soldiers from the east and west of the cities, and 9,000 other officers, clerks, porters, and other personnel.

At the urging of Songshou, the 30,000 Qing troops marched faster. In only six days, we reached the boundary of Jian'an.

This greatly surprised Xia Jun, and immediately ordered all battalions to immediately enter the combat state.

On July 18, 30,000 Qing troops passed through Baishuiyuan in a long snake formation, and Xia Jun immediately ordered the artillery position of Dayangshan through the walkie-talkie at 3:20 p.m. on the same day, and launched a tentative artillery bombardment of the Qing army.

On the artillery position of Dayangshan, six 75-mm rapid-fire guns had already found a good way to hide the terrain and built some fortifications, and after receiving the artillery order, the six rapid-fire guns showed their hideous fangs and launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the Qing troops advancing in a long line in the distance.

Bang bang......

Babble......

Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble......

The shells pierced the clear sky and roared down towards the advancing Qing army, and the shells exploded one after another, and only smoke and dust from explosions rose in the distance on the artillery position.

The first shell, most of which missed.

The commander on the ocean mountain used a telescope to watch the effect of the shelling, and then gave visual guidance to the targets of the guns on the flat ground below the mountain.

"Correcting Zhuyuan, 09, 03."

"Zhuyuan has been corrected."

"Zhuyuan has been corrected."

"Zhuyuan has been corrected."

"Shoot."

The commander visually measured the deviation distance, and after Zhu Yuan corrected it, he gave the order to shoot.

The shelling continued, and each artillery piece had a commander, and the first batch of the artillery section had ten students who had been drawn out of lots, and in this operation there were six people each commanding an artillery piece to carry out the correction.

The artillery shells fell, and nearly half of the shells still hit the surface of the Jianxi River, and the artillery company had only been established for five days, and there were only five days of training......

However, when the fourth shell was fired, all six guns corrected the correct Zhuyuan and hit the Qing army marching on the official road.

After the Qing army below was shelled, it immediately became a mess.

Those Eight Banner Soldiers, Green Battalion Soldiers, and Porters were in a mess like headless flies, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

In contrast, the 3,000 new troops of the Tenth Town, who were at the forefront, seemed much calmer, and although they panicked after being shelled, they were quickly suppressed by Sun Daoren.

Although Sun Daoren was surprised that this small security regiment actually had artillery, and the firepower was so fierce, Sun Daoren soon found that the artillery of the security regiment was not very accurate.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Daoren immediately organized an artillery battalion to return fire.
