Although Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangguang, mobilized the new army of the Qing court in the four towns, erected nearly 300 cannons outside Guangzhou, and mobilized 50,000 troops, he did not resist the strong Hainan army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After resisting for four days, Zhang Renjun escaped from the city of Guangzhou, abandoned the New Army of the Four Towns, and ran into Hong Kong to hide.

When Hu Liben's Second Army attacked Shantou, due to its recklessness and contempt for the new Qing army, it did not take into account the deployment of the Qing army around Longchuan and Meizhou behind it, and directly led the army to attack Shantou.

In charge of guarding Shantou was the third town of the Qing New Army, and the commander Tang Yong was a Qing army commander who was good at using soldiers.

In the face of Hu Liben's army, Tang Yong did not adopt the method of holding Shantou to the death, but set up a large pocket in the triangle of Shantou Longchuan and Meizhou, and implemented an ambush method to lure the enemy into the second army of Hu Liben.

By the time Hu Liben's Second Army entered the triangle, Tang Yong had left only one battalion of troops in Shantou. A fierce battle ensued with Huliben.

The strength of this one battalion. After resisting for a day and a night in Shantou City, when Shantou was about to be captured, Tang Yong ordered the garrisons of Longchuan and Meizhou, sealed the pockets, and surrounded Hu Liben's Second Army in this narrow triangle.

Huli originally thought it was a very simple battle, but because of his own light enemy, the Second Army fell into a passive situation of being attacked by the enemy.

Tang Yong saw that the Hainan army besieging Shantou was gradually weakening, and he ordered the Qing troops in Longchuan and Meizhou to attack on all fronts.

Hu Liben hurriedly asked Qi Gang for support.

Qi Gang transferred two infantry divisions of the First Army and began to attack the back of Tang Yong's new army from the west of Longchuan and Meizhou.

After nearly half a day of fierce fighting, the situation in Longchuan, Meizhou and Shantou began to change.

Chen Zhong ordered the Hainan Fleet, anchored in the Taiwan Strait, to carry out an artillery bombardment of Shantou to support the battles of Qi Gang's First and Second Armies in Shantou, Longchuan and Meizhou.

After nearly five hours of fierce fighting, the Shantou garrison was routed and Tang Yong was captured alive.

Qi Gang's army occupied most of Guangdong in less than ten days with overwhelming momentum.

So far, the Hainan army has connected Liangguang and Hainan Island.

Li Yunlong's Fourth Army of the Qigang Group Army in Jiangxi carried out the strategy formulated by Qi Gang before the war to encircle but not attack, and Wang Guangkai's Sixth Army in the Ganzhou area carried out a strong attack on Ganzhou.

Song Tao, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, miscalculated the deployment of Qigang's army and laid heavy troops around Nanchang, while the southern part of Jiangxi was extremely empty.

Wang Guangkai's Sixth Army echoed Hu Liben's Second Army in Guangzhou, north and south, and soon occupied Ganzhou and Ruijin in Jiangxi.

When Liu Yongfu's Ninth Army attacked Xiamen, it adopted the method of flanking the Hainan fleet from the front and back, and quickly solved the problem within two days.

Liu Yongfu's Ninth Army successively captured Longyan and Nanping in Fujian, and after occupying most of southern Fujian, it joined up with Liu Chengliang's Nineteenth Army and started the Battle of Fuzhou.

At this moment, the Qing court became nervous, Yuan Shikai advocated blocking the Hainan fleet south of Nanling, and Cixi thought that it would be a pity to leave the Hainan army sooner or later, and she would use the strength of the whole country to completely annihilate the Hainan army.

Yi Liang believed that they could contact foreign forces to destroy Hainan, especially Japan, who hated Hainan to the core, as well as Britain and France, and that the Qing court could send envoys to lobby them, warning them that if the Hainan army won the world, their vested interests in China would suffer devastating losses.

Empress Dowager Cixi thought that this might be more dangerous, and she feared that there would be a tragedy of the invasion of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Coalition in the Year of Gengzi. Therefore, he categorically rejected Yixuan's suggestion.

However, it is possible to provoke the Japanese to interfere with Hainan, suggesting that they can strike at Chen Zhong's Hainan army in the northeast of Korea and China, as well as in the Taiwan Strait.

At home, we have used our military strength to carry out an all-round encirclement and suppression of the Hainan army.

A military meeting was also being held in the Hainan palace at this moment, and Chen Zhong made a detailed analysis of the current war situation.

He said: At present, the conditions for opening a war against the Qing Dynasty are completely ripe, most of the international contradictions have been transferred to Europe in recent years, and Tsarist Russia, which is to the north of us, is facing an extremely political crisis at home, and they have no time to take care of the situation in the Far East.

Since Japan, our old enemy, had wiped out its sea forces and its land forces outside of China since the first war with our Hainan the year before last, so the international situation should be extremely favorable to us.

The Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing court has gradually lost control of the army of the whole country, and there may be a melee of warlords in various places in the country at any time, which should be an excellent fighter for us.

Although the Qing court threatened to use the military strength of the whole country to destroy our Hainan, she did not know that the Qing court's army had already been torn apart. She couldn't make a unified mix at all, so it was just Cixi's wishful thinking.

A nationwide public opinion has been set off to overthrow the rule of the Qing court, and most of the revolutionaries have continued to create assassinations of Qing court officials.

The ministers of the Qing court were all in a state of panic, and the rebel armies in various places were jumping to the test, and the world was about to be in chaos.

Our all-out war against the Qing court has now begun in earnest.

In this war, the Hainan army must completely eliminate the forces of the Qing court and other localities to ensure that our Hainan army has a degree of control over the national war situation.

In this complex situation, our country is particularly vulnerable to chaos and collapse.

We must shoulder the heavy responsibility of overthrowing the corrupt rule of the Qing court and ensuring that our country does not fall into a state of anarchy and chaos as a result.

Under this trend, we can raise a banner against the rule of the Qing court and establish the Chinese Empire.

Only with a clear banner will we be famous, and only in this way can we unite all the forces that can be united in this era.

We must be mentally prepared to become the leader of the Chinese nation, and the historical opportunity has appeared in front of us, and we should not let it go!

In this land, only by occupying an absolute position, you are qualified to speak, and you will be able to realize your dreams.

This king is proud and proud to tell you that this king's dream is to build a Chinese empire with free people, national independence and economic prosperity on our Chinese land!
