According to Chen Wenqiang's schedule, he will also leave for Germany in November at the latest, but in a little more than a month, he has to arrange all the affairs, the most important of course the armed uprising. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What about the military command?" Wu Luzhen glanced at Chen Wenqiang with some complaints, "I got a broken official, it's hard to get out." Otherwise, I resign; Or, feigning illness. Quietly go to Guangxi, it should be fine, right? ”

"I don't think so." Wan Fuhua shook his head first, "It's not a matter of a while, it's just because you are in Qiongzhou that the Guangdong government is a little relieved." For Xu Chunshan and Li Jiajun, the government will never believe too much. ”

"Actually, you don't need to be there in person." Chen Wenqiang thought for a while and said: "Just let those military cadets exercise well, what about you, remote command in Qiongzhou, and provide a general direction." ”

"Personnel come and go to pass on messages, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes." Wu Luzhen shook her head, "The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, if you want to let it go, it will be thorough, what else can you control?" ”

"Probably no one has to go around." Chen Wenqiang said uncertainly: "Try it with wireless telegraphy, the Germans have already set up two radio stations in Shanghai and Hanyang, and it is estimated that Yazhou is also fast, and I think it should be possible to transport another one to the rebel army." It is possible to cross the Atlantic, not to mention the distance from here to Guangxi! ”

"Wireless telegraphy?" Wu Luzhen was a little stunned, but he knew this kind of thing, and he couldn't help but give Chen Wenqiang a thumbs up, "Amazing, you can imagine this kind of advanced thing." Well, you have the money to buy it. ”

"Huh." Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly and said: "I want to install the radio station on the cargo ship to Guangxi first, and then use it for the rebel army after the test is successful." Well, we also need to train some telecommunications personnel as soon as possible. In this way, it became easy and quick to communicate with the rebels, and even ordered them to cooperate in the action. In the future, there will be another large-scale material delivery. ”

"With this wireless telegraphy that spreads for thousands of miles, you can strategize and win a decisive victory." Wan Fuhua looked at Chen Wenqiang and teased: "You have been traveling around for most of the year, and I thought you were not doing your job, but I didn't expect you to be able to think about everything in front of you, and the arrangements were quite thoughtful." ”

"Revolution-related industries are almost laid out. Naturally, you don't have to do everything. Chen Wenqiang smiled and pointed at Wu Luzhen, and then at Wan Fuhua, "Do you feel this way?" As my subordinates gradually become more effective, this job is also a lot easier! ”

"Yes?" Wu Luzhen looked at Wan Fuhua, and shook his head at Chen Wenqiang again and again, "I'm tired, I have a lot of subordinates, and I have a lot to worry about, so I can't compare to you." ”

"yes. Oh, yes! Wan Fuhua nodded in agreement, "The stall is getting bigger and bigger, and it is local government affairs and industrial management, so busy that you hit the back of your head!" ”

"Cut!" Chen Wenqiang rolled his eyes, got up and said, "Then you two continue to be tired, I still have a lot of important things to do, a month countdown." After the incident in Guangxi, I was about to leave for Germany. ”

"Money. What about money? Wan Fuhua hurriedly raised his hand and shouted.

"Use the hundreds of thousands from Lao Song Hui first, and then I'll find a way if it's insufficient." Chen Wenqiang waved his hand without looking back, "Let's go first, in the evening-no, the Germans have a drinking party, and I have already accepted the invitation." Tomorrow. I'll treat you to a big meal, and that's it. ”

Wu Luzhen and Wan Fuhua couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly when they saw Chen Wenqiang walking away.

"This guy, if you get so close to the Germans, will you be able to do it in the future—" Wu Luzhen stopped talking. Some concerns were expressed.

"From the current point of view, Wen Qiang is still measured." Wan Fuhua pondered for a while, sighed helplessly, and said: "From the perspective of geopolitical relations, Germany's threat should not be the greatest, not as good as Britain and Russia, right?" ”

"It should be Russo-Japanese." Wu Luz said in a deep voice: "Japan occupies the most of our country's territory, and it forcibly ceded Taiwan in the First Sino-Japanese War, and it is eyeing the northeast. If China wants to rise, I am afraid that it will have to pass the hurdle of Japan. ”

Wan Fuhua is good at management, but he has never been abroad, and he does not know much about the international situation and relations. Guns, artillery, and even road construction, Germany did not put forward harsh conditions. ”

"Vertical and horizontal, pulling one to suppress the other, the helplessness of a weak country, and the ability of a strong country." Wu Luz nodded and said: "The alliance between Britain and Japan is to counter it in East Asia, and it is not bad to form a good alliance with Germany. It is a pity that Germany is too far away, and the navy is inferior to the British, so the actual help will be greatly reduced. ”

"Off topic." Wan Fuhua smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It's better to deal with the things in front of you first, and if you don't overthrow the Manchu Qing, it's still too early to talk about this!" ”

Wu Luz nodded and sighed: "I hope that the sooner the better, Japan will develop rapidly after the defeat of China, and time will not wait!" ”

……………..

Chen Wenqiang plunged into the laboratory, both hands-on and guided, not only to improve the ability of laboratory personnel, strive to make new products, but also to prepare for going to Germany.

It wasn't until nearly dusk that Chen Wenqiang walked out of the laboratory, got into the car, and returned home to wash and change clothes. Caifeng said that she wouldn't go, Chen Wenqiang also knew her thoughts, and she was afraid that dancing, strange men and women hugging and turning, it was really indecent. Chen Wenqiang had no choice but to go to the meeting alone.

Among the foreigners in Yazhou, the Germans are the most numerous. Because Chen Wenqiang hired a large number of German engineers and consultants, including companies such as Krupp, Siemens, and Volkeng, as well as those attracted by the resorts built in Yazhou. A cocktail party or party is an exchange and negotiation, and many intentional agreements are preliminarily reached. Moreover, Chen Wenqiang felt that having a good relationship with these Germans would also have many benefits for him.

In the final analysis, Chen Wenqiang represents a group, not a country or a government. Although Germany is very fond of this agent who helps them export capital and expand their influence in China, it is impossible to help them unconditionally and unreservedly, and it still has some control over some key military technologies. For example, the barrels of heavy artillery can only be imported from Germany now, and the technology of casting is not taught.

Although it was soon able to imitate mountain guns, field guns, and Makqin heavy machine guns with a caliber of less than 75mm, this was not the first in China. Jinling Manufacturing Bureau, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Beiyang Machinery Bureau, etc. have also reached such a level, and the reason why the output is very small is still subject to key technologies. It is not possible to reach the level of industrial production.

Completely independent production and manufacturing is the ultimate goal of Chen Wenqiang. If Germany wants to increase its support, he will have to come up with more attractive capital, which will reflect greater value or represent more promising forces.

Chen Wenqiang walked slowly, although not spreading his legs. He ran happily, but his imagination was free.

…………..

All kinds of work were in full swing, but the news of the Ping, Liu, and Lihui party riots in Hunan suddenly made Chen Wenqiang stunned. He was not worried about anything else, but he was afraid that the plan to build the railroad would be affected.

"The vanguard of the Southern Army of the Chinese National Army" and "The Southern Uprising Recovery Army of the Great Chinese Empire", Chen Wenqiang shook his head again and again when he looked at these two names. The party is the party, and although it is temporarily united, no one is convinced by anyone, and it should be a unified name. Two of them came out at once, which shows that this matter will fail.

Moreover, looking at this latter name, it is obvious that it is a change of dynasty, not a revolution. Sealing his wife and son, or ascending the throne and sitting in the palace, still thinking about making an emperor to have a good time, right?

After receiving the telegram from the Changsha Railway Branch, Chen Wenqiang was also relieved. This uprising dominated by the party had little impact on the construction of the railway, and it was tossed for a while in the three counties of Pingxiang, Liuyang, and Liling.

This is not to say that the Qing army reacted quickly. The mobilization was swift, but this uprising was forced, the government acted first, and the party was forced to resist.

If you think about it, the party is already a huge and complex party, and the crowd is as large as 10,000. The crowd was noisy and rumors abounded. The monks of Huili Temple, who joined the Hongjiang Society, even pretended to be a prophet, hinting to the incense faces: "The world is about to be in chaos, and there will be heroes to eradicate the rich and help the poor", and even bluntly said: "The Hongjiang Society will start immediately." Such blatant "revolutionary propaganda". The effect is of course very obvious, but the Qing court is not a dead person, and if you don't take care of it, you really can't say it.

First of all, the Ping, Liu, and Lixian county governments jointly sent troops to attack Mashi, and the Hui Party was caught off guard and dispersed without a fight, and Li Jinqi, the third road dock official, was killed, and then several Hui Party leaders were killed. Then, when the leaders of the Hongjiang Association had not yet reached a consensus, Liao Shubao, the leader of the Martial Arts Association, did not wait for the results of the meeting, that is, he led two or three thousand people to Mashi, unfurled the white flag of the "Great Han", and took the lead in attacking.

Thus, the uprising broke out in a hurry. It is not too much to say that it is hasty, the organization and orders are not uniform, the action plan has not yet been formulated, and the guns and ammunition have not been found, and how can they resist the Qing army gathered on all sides with only earthen guns, broadswords, spears, and a small number of fast guns snatched from the local regimental training bureau?

"It is easy for the party to start, but it is difficult to succeed. Even if it succeeds, it is uncontrollable. Wu Luz came to the same judgment as Chen Wenqiang, "When he failed, he was even more futile and out of control." The revolution itself is the most profound theory, and how can it be justified to succeed by relying on the party as the backbone? ”

"The Alliance—" Chen Wenqiang shook his head repeatedly, "Obviously, he hasn't realized this yet, or he is in a hurry to make some moves to boost his morale." Just as we are about to launch an uprising, it is not only to expand our influence, but also to lead the revolutionary tide and occupy the dominant position of the revolution. ”

"But they're too close." Wu Luz made a final evaluation and focused his attention on the meeting again, "Up to now, the troops participating in the Guangxi uprising have been drawn and formed, with a total of 826 people. The acclimatization training of the Madsen machine gun was also coming to an end, and more than 100 machine gunners were trained. The Vietnamese base also sent information, and there are 783 officers and men, more than 600 long and short guns, and ammunition, which can support two or three medium-sized battles. After more than a month of preparation, it should be able to meet the requirements of the plan. ”

Chen Wenqiang turned his gaze to Wan Fuhua and listened to his report. The main thing is the preparation of various materials, guns and ammunition, clothing and equipment, medicine and sundries, and so on.

"I see-" Chen Wenqiang pondered for a moment, looked at Wu Luz and Wan Fuhua inquiringly, and said, "Isn't it just to start an uprising as soon as possible?" While some of the conditions fall short of the program, they are not too important. There are many dreams at night, and the more perfect and thoughtful the plan, the easier it is to fail due to small accidents. Well, it's not because I'm in a hurry to leave for Germany, but I really think so. This alliance also seems to pay attention to the miscellaneous armed forces and associations in Guangxi and southern Yunnan, which has an impact on us! ”

"The city gate caught fire, and the fish in the pond were affected." Wan Fuhua frowned and said: "Judging from the intelligence, their mobilization work is really not rigorous, and it is a matter of time before the government is alert to find out, and your worries are not unreasonable." But militarily I don't understand, Lao Wu, what do you think? ”

Wu Luz thought seriously for a while, and slapped the table suddenly, "It's done, with the current strength and current materials, the certainty of success is still very large." ”

"Ten days later?" Chen Wenqiang stared at Wu Luz, and then asked.

"Ten days later, on the twenty-fourth of October." Wu Luz clenched his fists and waved vigorously.

"The frost is cool, the rainy season has passed, and the miasma has disappeared, so it's a good day." Wan Fuhua smiled and clapped his hands.

"Military plans?" Chen Wenqiang still did not relax, and looked at Wu Luz aggressively.

"Attack and defend the city first, defend it, rendezvous with reinforcements, and receive supplies. Then, depending on the situation, they either attacked Qinzhou, or retreated to Vietnam, using Yanzi Mountain as a new base, waiting for an opportunity to surprise attack Zhennanguan and open the door to the battle of Gui. Wu Luz did not hesitate to talk about the final revised military plan.

Chen Wenqiang slowly narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and a smile appeared on his face, this plan was in line with his idea of stabilizing the foundation first and then waiting for the opportunity to act. In other words, it was easy to get supplies along the coast, and it was also easy to be threatened by the Qing army's Guangdong naval division, so it was better to fight and leave, and turn the battlefield to the inland areas of Guangxi. If you hold out for a few months and need to replenish supplies, you can take a detour from the territory of Vietnam and then attack the fortified city. With this period of production and procurement, Qiongzhou was able to accumulate a considerable amount of supplies.

"I'll go or you go." This time, it was Wu Luz's turn to ask.

It is only a short stay to explain the overall strategic concept, appoint and improve the command structure, boost morale, expand influence, and so on.

"I'll go!" Chen Wenqiang thought for a while and said: "Although I am a layman in the military, the strategy has been decided, and there is no problem in conveying it. Besides, I'm pretty accurate in my view of people. For example, during the Wanning Uprising, if I hadn't seen through the spy -- well, I wouldn't have said much. ”

Wu Luz and Wan Fuhua both laughed, it was not good to sell and boast, but they were also impressed by Chen Wenqiang's specialty.

"Revolution is not easy!" Chen Wenqiang sighed with emotion, sighing as if it were true or false, "It's time to move, otherwise some people will say I'm lazy!" ”
