Chapter 42: The Suppression of the Party (I)

Hu Lin tried these dozens of imitation Mauser 98, the effect is not bad, although Hu Lin is not a professional to play with guns, just feel that it is almost become, and then let Li Tie and them test it when it comes to mass production, since these are spelled out of many scrap products, it will not be any better, after a few words of encouragement, casually go to other factories to go around, feel the small city that rises from their hands.

In August 1900, the Hui Party in Guangxi revolted one after another, and Hu Lin let the Pingshan Military Uniform Companion Party capture a number of counties and counties, so much so that the imperial court had to ask Tang Jingchong to supervise the Guangxi regiment training. Tang Jingchong set up a regimental training bureau in Guilin and recruited training into a camp. At the same time, Nanning also set up a regimental defense bureau.

Hu Lin led a team of 500 members of the nominal Mashan County militia group, and the Mauser 98 went to Nanning to listen to the training of Tang Jingchong's army. Militia groups from all over Guangxi gathered in Nanning, some in Guilin, and several of them were still controlled by Hu Lin's Pingshan Army.

On that day, Hu Lin asked people to pull a few wagons of silver bars and went to the General Bureau of League Defense to ask Tang Jingchong, and the guards of the General Bureau of League Defense knew that this was a "big, big, big" person when they saw the box on the carriage behind Hu Lin, and enthusiastically reported to Hu Lin, of course, two taels of silver were already in their pockets.

Tang Jingchong was thinking about the matter of rectifying the militia in the study, and also thinking about how to exterminate the party as soon as possible, now the country is full of chaos and banditry, and if it is dealt with, it will definitely be appreciated by Lafayette, and it will not be able to run away if he is promoted and make a fortune, and when he learned that the head of the militia in Pingshan Village, Mashan County, asked to see him, he stopped thinking about letting people lead him to the study.

"Hu Lin, the head of the Pingshan Regiment, visited the Tang Supervisor, and my Pingshan People's League organized 500 Xiangyong, all of whom were brought to listen to the dispatch of the Tang Supervisor." Hu Lin bowed to Tang Jingchong and reported politely.

"Well, Hu Tuan is worried about the imperial court, it's good to be able to come in time, how is the training of the village brave, this time the imperial court attaches great importance to the rebellion between the Hui Party and the Boxers in Guangxi Province, and Hu Tuan is so dedicated."

Tang Jingchong was very polite to Hu Lin, and taught him as his own person, and now Hu Lin's militia belongs to the General Bureau of League Training, which is considered a person in Tang Jingchong's camp, and he still has to remind his subordinate Tang Jingchong appropriately, if he does a good job, it is a great merit of the General Bureau of League Training, and Hu Lin can naturally get a small credit.

"Thank you for your teachings, I have never slackened the training of the militia and the villagers, and some of my subordinates have small commodities to do business with foreigners, and I have earned some silver to buy some foreign guns for the militia, so that one day the court will do its duty and die." Hu Lin said how loyal he was to the court, as if the money he earned was to relieve the worries of the court.

"Hahaha, good, well said, a good one to do his duty for the imperial court, if other officials are like Hu Tuanshou, why is the Qing Dynasty afraid of foreigners, why worry about the chaos in various places, the Qing Dynasty wants Hu Tuanshou to do his duty." Tang Jingchong was very happy that with the support of the local militia groups in Guangxi, it would be easier to exterminate the Hui Party, and his heart was very happy.

"Supervisor, his subordinates have earned some money by doing business with foreigners, and part of it has been spent on buying foreign guns for the people's league. The local guilds were in turmoil, and the imperial court sent troops to exterminate it, which required a lot of silver, and the subordinates were willing to donate most of their family property to the imperial court to show their loyalty. After Hu Lin finished speaking, he got up and handed the gift list to Tang Jingchong.

Tang Jingchong opened the gift sheet and donated 50,000 taels of silver to the Guangxi League Training General Office, 200,000 taels of silver to the imperial court (to Cixi), another German-made short fire gun to Tang Jingchong, and 5 Western watches (modern women's watches, hundreds of them) to Lafayette.

Tang Jingchong stared at Hu Lin with his eyes after reading it, sighed and said solemnly: "Hu Tuanshou, you are really loyal, with the remote place of Guangxi can donate so much silver to the imperial court, it is difficult for you, the old man must write to the imperial court to ask for credit for Hu Tuanshou." ”

Tang Jingchong was very excited, this time he was responsible for exterminating the Hui Party in Guangxi, and the imperial court didn't give much silver, but now with the silver donated by Hu Lin, the pressure on Tang Jingchong was much less, and he was very relieved.

After encouraging Hu Lin for a while, and letting people bring the boxes in, Hu Lin retreated, the real cash can feel much better than the silver ticket, Tang Jingchong waited for Hu Lin to go, played with the handcuff, and couldn't put it down.

After the Hedi militia group assembled in Nanning, Tang Jingchong asked people to start training all departments and regiments, these are still village warriors, and they can't fight as regular troops, and not everyone is like Hu Lin to train regiments as armies and equip them with weapons. Tang Jingchong also summoned the leaders of various regiments and praised Hu Lin's dedication to the imperial court in public.

As a result, the leaders of each regiment donated some silver to a greater or lesser extent, but they didn't really want to donate, they hated Hu Lin to death in their hearts, and the most donated were the militia groups controlled by Hu Lin, all of which were almost eight thousand, ten thousand taels, which made Tang Jingchong boast that everyone else was as dedicated to the court as Hu Lin, and the world could be appeased.

Hulin's 500 People's Regiment was not only Mauser 98, but also brought 100 M16s, which were brought for Hulin's safety, and the most elite 100 people usually carried two guns on their backs to protect Hulin.

After the militia groups in various places were roughly trained by the Nanning General Bureau, they issued some weapons to those who did not have weapons and began to exterminate the Hui Party in different areas, Hu Lin first drew a large part of the places, several counties, these were secretly controlled by Hu Lin, so naturally he did not want other militia groups to come, but they were exterminated, which was a bit troublesome.

Tang Jingchong saw that Hu Lin had encircled such a large area of purge, and he liked Hu Lin's loyalty even more, so he agreed without much hesitation, just like that, the places where the other militia groups were divided were much smaller, and the pressure was much less, and the leaders of the regiment who were unhappy with Hu Lin's donation of silver just now felt much better.

Hu Lin led the Pingshan militia to his own territory, and there were gunshots everywhere, chickens and dogs jumped, and the heads were piled up one by one, and they were waiting to be handed over after pickling. Naturally, it was impossible for Hu Lin to attack his own people, who were either bandits in the mountains or squires and landlords who did a lot of evil.

In the past, Hu Lin was not good at being too public, and only dealt with some relatively large evil forces, and took this opportunity to wipe out all the large and small forces in the area under his control, not only these 500 people, but also more than 2,000 people also participated in this operation, Tang Jingchong naturally didn't know, they just looked at the results.

Hu Lin handed over the county seat under his control on the surface, and asked the imperial court to send officials again, but Hu Lin had shot most of them before, although he handed them over, but the actual control was still in Hu Lin's hands, and he was not worried that it would hinder his development at all.

While the other militia groups were still playing hide-and-seek with the Hui Party in the mountains, Hu Lin escorted a cart of people to Nanning, the General Administration of the Militia League.

Tang Jingchong was surprised and pleasantly surprised by the speed of Hu Lin's extermination of the Hui Party, worried that Hu Lin would kill people indiscriminately and take heads to fool himself, so he hurriedly sent people to check the area in charge of Hu Lin, and sure enough, all parts of the country were restored to the hands of the imperial court, just waiting to send people to accept the city, and when he asked the locals, he knew that even the bandits in the mountains had let Hu Lin be destroyed.

Tang Jingchong was pleasantly surprised, it had only been a long time since he had already cleared out the Hui Party in some areas of Guangxi, and hurriedly sent a disc to report to the imperial court, and then prepared to let Hu Lin's entire army rest.

Hu Lin would not waste such a good opportunity, and after saying a lot of words to Tang Jingchong about doing his best for the imperial court, he asked for a few more places, which were still within Hu Lin's control and infiltration areas. Hu Lin rested for a day and rushed to these places with the Pingshan militia.

After passing over, he directly asked the locals to guide the route, and smashed the nest of the Hui Party everywhere, which made other militia groups blush, especially the firepower of Hu Lin's Mauser 98, the fierce village bravery, and the luck of being able to block the Hui Party every time, which made the eyes of the militia fall to the ground.

When Hu Lin once again pulled a cart of pickled heads back to Nanning, plus the experience of several other regiment leaders, the equipment of the Pingshan militia group, the spirit of the village bravery, and the news that other militia groups have not made meritorious contributions to this day, Tang Jingchong was completely convinced.

"Talent, Hu Tuanshou is a talent from my Qing Dynasty, come, sit here, Xiaocui, serve tea, and give me the Longjing rewarded by Lafayette."

Tang Jingchong seemed to have identified Hu Lin as his lucky general, an internal general, and constantly asked Hu Lin about the process of exterminating the Hui Party, Hu Lin used the plot of the spy war movie on TV, and talked about it for nearly an hour, listening to Tang Jingchong's frightened heart, when asked about the casualties of the militia group, Hu Lin's heart-wrenching expression on the casualties of the dozens of villagers really moved Tang Jingchong.

In fact, there are body armor made by Hu Lin from modern times, and none of the militia members died, only a dozen unlucky ones were injured, but with modern wound treatment, it will take less than ten days and half a month to get better.

After two great victories, Tang Jingchong attached great importance to Hu Linna, and immediately appointed Hu Lin as the head of the General Administration of the Guangxi People's League, which belonged to the second-in-command of the General Administration of the People's League.

Hu Lin received the appointment, and the opportunity of the heart came, so he immediately convened several militia groups present, and after a period of discussion, he first exterminated the area near Nanning, Hu Lin had merit in the front, so Tang Jingchong let Hu Lin do it this time.

With several militia groups of nearly 3,000 people, this time Hu Lin first completely controlled the Taiping Mansion (Zhi Chongshan, now Chongzuo) on the border, and when he took the militia on the road, he telegraphed to inform the Pingshan Army to rush to the Taiping Mansion to assist, and now Hu Lin is the meeting, these militia groups have to obey Hu Lin's dispatch, and it is easier to arrange the assistance of the Pingshan Army.

Hu Lin didn't eat alone, and most of his exploits were given to other militia groups, which didn't contribute much to get more credit than their own hard work on the mountain, so they naturally obeyed Hu Lin's command more, and most of them were party members and bandits who surrounded the outside to block the leaky net.

In fact, the main battle was still fought by the Pingshan Army, these militia groups basically did not contribute much, many of the leaders of the Hui Party were ambitious, Hu Lin telegraphed to the Pingshan Army to screen the members of the Hui Party and the Boxer Rebellion as appropriate, and include them in the Pingshan Army, most of these Hui Party members are very good soldiers, if it is not for the fact that life cannot go on, who will rebel.

After the Taiping Mansion was completely mastered, Hu Lin led the team to Baise, which was still the same, and the Hui Party and the Boxers who trembled under the 98 guns of the more than 10,000 regular troops of the Pingshan Army were wiped out one by one. Hu Lin only took a few militia groups to properly fight the party and bandits who were driven over by the Pingshan army, which was regarded as a bad deal.

After the party and bandits were collected, the local temporary officials of Baise were arranged, but they were actually in the hands of Hu Lin, and they were killed in Hechi Mansion.
