After Chen Duxiu told the cadres of the Yue Wang Hui that Zhang Yu proposed the plan, the upper echelons of the Yue Wang Society, which was already not very united, immediately fell into a confrontational situation. All the cadres who had already faced the reality and accepted that the Yue Wang Society did not have the ability to carry out the revolution on their own expressed that they could accept Zhang Yu's arrangement. The cadres who still think that King Yue will be able to make a comeback are completely opposed. Even these hard-liners know that the BJP officers and soldiers have to work. They still stubbornly believe that unlike the People's Party, they should not do some "low-level" work as cadres.

The controversy lasted for most of the day, and the cadres, including Chang Hengfang and Fan Chuanjia, could not accept the style of the People's Party, and Chen Duxiu could not convince these comrades of the Yue Wang Society. The cadres represented by Bai Wenwei have accepted the reality, and they simply refuse to discuss it with the hardliners. The meeting broke up.

The next day, Chang Hengfang and others found Chen Duxiu, and as the leader of the watch, Chang Hengfang took the lead and said: "Mr. Chen, we are going to leave Anqing for Hubei." ”

Although he knew that this conflict was almost inevitable, Chen Duxiu couldn't help but feel a little sad. The Yue Wang Society, which had been established for nearly two years, finally came to its end. After Chang Hengfang and the others left, those who chose to stay in Anqing would join the ranks of the People's Party, and the signboard of Yue Wanghui would never be there again.

"Are you going to seek refuge with Mr. Huang Xing?" Chen Duxiu asked.

"It is better to take refuge with anyone than to follow the BJP." Chang Hengfang said almost through gritted teeth. This is not only Chang Hengfang's true attitude, but also the other cadres of the Yue Wang Association have the same opinion.

"Mr. Chen, aren't you going with us?" A cadre from the Yue Wang Association asked. They still hope that Chen Duxiu can go to Hubei with them.

This is a difficult question to answer, and Chen Duxiu feels that he can't say anything to refuse. In a sense, these cadres of the Yue Wang Society who chose to leave Anqing insisted on the existence of the Yue Wang Society, but Chen Duxiu, the founder, chose to leave the Yue Wang Society.

"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions." Chang Hengfang stopped these cadres who wanted Chen Duxiu to go with them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Duxiu hurriedly said: "When you go to Hubei, you need to check, and we will share the rest of the silver with everyone." ”

The last time he occupied Anqing, King Yue would seize less than three thousand taels of silver from Anqing's silver treasury. This money that was finally left behind is not just a sum of money, it also means the peak period that King Yue will ever have. Chen Duxiu ordered that all the members of the Yue Wang Association who did not want to leave Anqing, one person or two, and those who were willing to leave Anqing would divide the rest of the money equally. In the end, more than 170 people were reluctant to leave Anqing, and the remaining 200 chose to leave. Some of the people who chose to leave wanted to go to Hubei, and some chose to leave the Yuewanghui. Whatever the reason, Chen Duxiu gave them the money. Although it is not elegant to send money, but in the end, giving money is the most practical way.

As the money seized from the Anqing treasury by the Yue Wang Society was distributed, the once famous organization in China was completely dissolved.

Chang Hengfang and they didn't want to stay for a long time, Anqing was so devastated that they couldn't even find a hotel to hold a send-off banquet. Moreover, these people are really disgusted with the People's Party to the extreme, and since they have decided to leave, they do not want to see the People's Party again. They took their luggage and boarded the ferry to cross the river, and after gathering on the other side of the river, Chang Hengfang held a simple meeting. "Since the People's Party has not taken our brothers in its eyes, there is no need for us to follow the People's Party to embarrass people, and now that Mr. Huang Xing and Mr. Song Jiaoren have returned to Hubei, we might as well defect to them."

These people choose to leave Anqing not necessarily because they really have any long-term goals, and many of them have to leave just because they are unwilling to join the People's Party in order to get rid of their current sluggish state. Hearing Chang Hengfang say that he wanted to take them to Hubei, when he thought of the long distance, these people felt very uneasy in their hearts. They are all used to spending lavishly, and a dozen taels of silver looks like a lot, but in fact, it is not enough to spend at all. Relying on these silver to make entanglements may be able to find Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren, but what happens next? If you can't get a lot of money, life will still be extremely difficult.

Chang Hengfang could see what these people thought, "Wealth and wealth are in danger, and now that the People's Party has become a climate in Anhui, if we still stay in Anhui, we will all be suppressed by the People's Party." As we all know, most of the leaders of the People's Party are not locals, and we are not necessarily worse than the People's Party when we work in Hubei. ”

Even though Chang Hengfang tried his best to persuade him, more than 100 people still chose to go home, and in the end, more than 70 people chose to go to Hubei to join Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren. The others went in all directions, and the small group of more than seventy people headed towards the west without looking back.

The People's Party's control area in Jiangnan was not very large, and Chang Hengfang left the People's Party's control area less than two days after leaving with everyone. During the break, Chang Hengfang reorganized the personnel. The remaining 70 or so imitated the military system of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army and formed a company of four platoons. Chang Hengfang appointed himself as political commissar and Fan Chuanjia as company commander. It is one thing to hate the BJP, and it is another to study the BJP. Yue Wanghui's troops were reorganized, and "officers and soldiers are integrated, and the branch is built on the company." "These two come from the BJP's organizational model. Politically, since the old purpose of the Yue Wang Association could not be used, and there was no time to temporarily create a new political program, Chang Hengfang used the phrase "expelling the Tartars and restoring China." "For the slogan now.

After all, it is a team that has experienced the war, and after some rectification, the remnants of the Yue Wang Society can be said to be a morale shock. They even imitated the People's Party and sent out the leading scouts, and the large force continued to move all the way to the southwest.

In Wuhan, where the new Yue Wang would be further west, the larger and better equipped Hubei New Army was also dispatched at this time. The Manchu Qing Dynasty strictly ordered the eighth town to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Anhui rebellious party, according to the convention, the dispatch of troops is to give money, Hubei did not rely on the imperial court to pay for the last time to send troops, it was completely Zhang Zhidong out of his own political considerations. Fortunately for the Manchus, the current governor of Huguang, Zhao Erxun, was a staunch opponent of the revolution, and the imperial court agreed to exempt Hubei from taxes to cover the cost of sending troops, and Zhao Erxun, the governor of Huguang, agreed to send a new army to Hubei.

Zhang Biao, the commander of the eighth town, immediately began to prepare in full swing, and he first ordered the troops of the 31st standard to take the lead. This order was unanimously approved by the officers and men of the New Army, with the exception of the 31st Standard. The 31st Bid is now known as the "Manchu Battalion", which is full of the most people and is also the most zealous unit in the so-called "purge of the revolutionary party". Zhang Biao was extremely disgusted with them, and just took advantage of the opportunity of the war to send them to the front.

Of course, the reasons are also the strongest. In order to block the retreat of the thirty-one standards. Zhang Biao made a special telegram to the War Department, saying that the 31st standard "purged the chaotic party, was determined and loyal." In the battle against the BJP bandits, we will certainly be able to perform well. "Even if the War Department knew about Zhang Biao's small abacus, it could not openly prevent the 31st from being marked on the front line. When he called back, he couldn't help but use a few sentences: "Fight hard to kill the enemy and reimburse the court." Official article.

With the reply from the War Department, Zhang Biao immediately ordered the 31st Standard to take the lead, and the 30th Standard, which also had full soldiers, set off as a follow-up force. As soon as these two targets were dispatched, less than 50 miles away from Wuhan, Zhang Biao began to release the unjust prisoners, released the miserable surrendered soldiers, and formed a new "baggage battalion." In Zhang Biao's view, in any case, these soldiers did not surrender to the rebellious party, but chose to return to the Hubei New Army, and this loyalty can be appreciated. The kind of reckless behavior of the 31st standard is really undesirable.

As far as the Hubei New Army is concerned, the "full battalion" going to fight means that the bloody storm that once blew within the Hubei New Army has also come to an end. The officers and men breathed a sigh of relief, and many officers and men even went out to eat and drink to celebrate. And these news naturally flowed out.

The People's Party's intelligence system in Wuhan's Three Towns quickly got the news, and the news was immediately transmitted through the People's Party's intelligence network.

After Zhang Yu learned the news of the new army's dispatch, he was greatly relieved. The leader was actually a full camp, which made Zhang Yu feel incredible. The arrangement of the new army in Hubei was based on political intentions rather than military considerations. Due to the rush to send out the 31st standard, the most advantageous naval unit of the Hubei New Army did not even cooperate. Zhang Yu was most worried that the Hubei New Army Navy would transport troops to the opposite side of Anqing, and while the Navy was carrying out artillery bombardment, the army would attack the city.

Of course, the People's Party could have coped with it by means of street fighting, but the Military Commission has always opposed turning Anqing into a battlefield now. This is not only because it is necessary to take into account the mood of the citizens of Anqing, lure the enemy to station in Anqing, and then completely annihilate the enemy. This tactic can lead to a huge number of captures.

The Military Commission has the views of the Military Commission, and Zhang Yu has the views of Zhang Yu. Since he didn't want to evacuate Anqing, the last thing Zhang Yu wanted to see was for the Hubei New Army to use the advantages of the naval army to fight.

Now the 31st marks the Huangpi Kwandong Advance, and it is clear that the political struggle dominates the military struggle. The reaction of the Hubei New Army to the reckless behavior of the "full battalion" in the new army was to first drive out the 31 standards.

The largest military operation that Zhang Yu participated in and commanded was the first battle of the People's Party to attack Anqing. In that campaign, the BJP adopted the means of warfare of fighting on the outside front. The reason for the victory was, of course, because the people's fighters were well-trained and brave and good at fighting. However, the Anhui New Army completely did not consider that the war would break out suddenly, reacted slowly, and was completely led by the nose by the People's Party, which is also an extremely important reason. In this battle, Zhang Yu deepened a point of view. The perception of the "war zone" in the psychology of an army is very important.

The Anhui New Army did not realize that Anqing City was a war zone, so they were slack and sluggish, and they were not prepared for a sudden war at all. Failure was also expected.

The same is true for the Hubei New Army, if they are allowed to reach the vicinity of Anqing City for fifty miles, the Hubei New Army will naturally think that they are in a war zone, and they will first become psychologically nervous, and they will naturally be guarded against it. If the Hubei New Army marched in an area that they thought was safe, a feeling of slackness was inevitable.

Zhang Yu's plan was to make a surprise long-distance march, set up an ambush on the march route of the Hubei New Army, and inflict heavy damage or even annihilation on the 31st Standard. Once the Hubei New Army wins a battle on the territory that the new army has psychologically acquiesced in, the troops behind will be psychologically shaken and will naturally not dare to act rashly.

In order to achieve such military objectives, accurate intelligence work is indispensable. Zhang Yu was very relieved about the intelligence work, because although there was only one battalion of troops stationed in Anqing, one company was a reconnaissance company of the water detachment. In the intelligence war, and even in the outpost battle against the Hubei New Army, Zhang Yu has the confidence to win.
