Chapter 128: Wild Connections, Difficult to Get Started

The revolutionary army regained Baisha, feinted to attack Danzhou, and after the Qing army rushed to help from Qiongya, it suddenly turned to the east again, traveled hundreds of miles in a hurry, fought Ketunchang, and then went north to settle down, making a gesture of attacking Qiongya. The Qing army hurriedly withdrew from Danzhou www.biquge.info reinforcements and stability. After the revolutionary army was close to stability, it suddenly advanced westward again and attacked Danzhou again......

The revolutionary army, which has been constantly reorganized and reorganized in the course of battles and marches, has reached 12,300 people, and it has become stronger and more flexible the more it fights. This was due to the gradual entry of the commanders, the courage and loyalty of the members of the Renaissance Society, and the covert support of Chen Wenqiang, including the continuous delivery of materials and personnel, as well as the support of pre-stockpiled ammunition and guns.

There were seizures, but in addition to food, weapons and ammunition did not reach the level of supporting the war with war. Of course, if uninterrupted replenishment and supply can be maintained, the revolutionary army will be able to maneuver with the Qing army in Qiongzhou for a long time. The premise is that the 30th Battalion Patrol Army in Guangdong is constantly engaged and uses refueling tactics. Another point is that Chen Wenqiang has never been exposed, and Yazhou has always been the logistics base of the revolutionary army.

But obviously, the result of such a assumption is not what Chen Wenqiang wants. After he negotiated with Li Zhun, he secretly told the revolutionary army, let Wu Luzhen continue to command behind the scenes, and announced to the outside that the chief and deputy commanders of the revolutionary army were Li Jiajun and Xu Chunshan, and let Li Jiajun show his face more often, laying the groundwork for the future turnaround.

The great revolutionaries have just appeared on the stage, and they have to tour all parts of Nanyang to give speeches and propaganda to increase their popularity in order to compete with Beichen, and the longer the revolutionary army on the Qiongzhou side persists, the greater the impact. The stronger the momentum for the revolutionaries.

On the one hand, it is political, on the other hand, it is military, and the military serves politics. This is also applicable at this time.

The revolutionary army flickered from east to west, and the more they fought, the stronger they became; The Qing army was exhausted and could not make progress. Such a situation made Li Zhun gradually put away his contempt, and more and more hoped to succeed in recruiting An. As for Chen Wenqiang, he also continued to increase his weight and obtain more benefits.

Wan Fuhua has already donated money to Zhixian County by the Renaissance Association. Now he was recommended by Chen Wenqiang, and Yazhou County Cheng was appointed as the commander of Wanning County. The Yazhou county order is already an ornament, and the county government has been replaced by Wan Fuhua with reliable people. His departure will not affect the effective control of Yazhou by the Fuxing Society, nor will it affect Chen Wenqiang's control of the place.

At that time, Baoting and Lingshui had not yet set up counties, and belonged to Yazhou and Wanning. Other words. The Fuxing Society has actually controlled the two counties in Qiongnan, and they are adjacent to each other, so it can be said that its power has skyrocketed.

"You don't have to worry about Yazhou here, as long as the people left behind are Xiao Gui Cao, there should be no problem." Chen Wenqiang made a final discussion with Wan Fuhua, who was about to take office, "Wanning's side, it will take more energy." However, you are well versed in government affairs. It should also not be difficult. ”

"As long as the local militia group is expanded to three to five hundred people, even if a patrol battalion is sent to station in the county. I also have the confidence not to worry about the obstacles that the patrol battalion may cause. Wan Fuhua already has a specific plan, but he is a little worried that once Chen Wenqiang leaves, Yazhou will lack a person who can sit in charge.

"It is estimated that the patrol battalion transferred from other places will not be able to be stationed for a long time, you can go to Chen, plus the Yazhou County Order, and strive to reorganize the militia into a patrol battalion, so that the Qing court can contribute money and food to raise troops for us." Chen Wenqiang smiled slyly, "This is a good way, I have had similar ideas before, but it depends on the development of the situation." Wan Fuhua thought for a while and said, "Over there at the Hanyang Iron Works, if Yazhou is not in charge for a long time, I'm afraid that no one is as tough and flexible as you, and can easily deal with Zhang Renjun and Li Zhun." ”

"I won't stay at the Hanyang Iron Works for long." Chen Wenqiang shook his head and said: "The quality problem has been found, the rules and regulations have been established, and the effective manpower management has been arranged, which is enough." As for Yazhou, I am not alone in the investment, there are Nanyang rich, there are German companies, Zhang Renjun and Li Zhun want to blackmail, and they have to weigh it. As for government affairs, if you don't make too many standards and innovate and govern good places according to the rules, what can they do? What is a county in your ability? ”

Wan Fuhua nodded, looked at Chen Wenqiang as if he was paying attention to the map on the wall, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "You punctuate in Guangxi, do you have any other ideas?" Do you want to withdraw the revolutionary army from Qiongzhou to Guangxi? ”

"It's too early to tell, we'll have to wait a little longer." Chen Wenqiang said in a deep voice: "The armed uprising must be continued, so that the banner of the Revival Association will not fall. Qiongzhou has been behind for a while, where will it be carried out next? After this uprising, I think it's better not to do it in Qiongzhou anymore, stay away, not endanger these industries, and not expose my identity. ”

"Guangxi, why choose there?" Wan Fuhua was still a little puzzled.

Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly, Wan Fuhua's level is not in touch with the most core secrets of the Revival Society, and he regularly receives secret reports from the General Assembly, and has an overall vision of the overall development. It doesn't matter much to tell Wan Fuhua now, because Wan Fuhua is trustworthy.

"The chapters are doing well, and there are some heavyweights that we should consider." Chen Wenqiang introduced to Wan Fuhua, "The Guangdong branch developed Liu Yongfu, well, to be precise, Liu Yongfu sympathized with and supported the revolution, and it is very possible for us to do work again to make him actively participate in the revolution." ”

Liu Yongfu, Ziyuanting, Han Hakka, Qinzhou, Guangxi (now belonging to Xiaofeng Township, Gusendong, Fangcheng, Guangxi), was originally a general of the Black Flag Army who opposed the Qing Dynasty, and later led the Black Flag Army to participate in the Sino-French War, repeatedly defeated the French army, and appeased the imperial court. During the First Sino-Japanese War, he was ordered to go to Taiwan to resist the Japanese, but ultimately failed and returned to Qinzhou to live idlely.

Having experienced the Sino-French War and the War to Defend Taiwan, Liu Yongfu had long been dissatisfied with the corrupt and incompetent Qing court's surrender and betrayal. In 1899, he returned to Nanning to recruit Yingyong, rebuilt the fourth battalion of the Black Flag Fu Army, and was ordered to send troops to suppress the peasants' armed fights several times.

However, the Qing court and Guangdong officials had high regard for Liu Yongfu, and the soldiers and generals had long been afraid of three points, and did everything possible to weaken Liu Yongfu's troops. In the end, there were only two battalions left under Liu Yongfu, which was insignificant. So I asked for a difference. With the approval of Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Liangguang, he was dismissed as a farmer and became an empty town guard.

1904 year. Liu Yongfu simply resigned after a rheumatism attack, first went back to the Liu Clan Ancestral Hall in Shahe, Guangzhou to recuperate and recuperate, and then returned to live in Sanxuantang, Qinzhou, Guangxi. It was during this period that Wang Ho Shun, a member of the Vietnam branch of the Revival Society, and another member, Chen Zhonghe, secretly came to contact. Wang Heshun was the old part of the Black Flag Army, and after being dismissed, he joined the Hui Party, and launched an armed uprising in Guangxi, which lasted for several years. After the defeat, he fled to Vietnam. These two people played a positive role in promoting Liu Yongfu's ideas of democratic revolution, and made Liu Yongfu promise that if the revolutionary army started an incident in Guangxi, he would send Wu Fengdian to organize the children of the Zhuang Han people in Qinlian and Zuojiang to be organized into the army. Fought side by side with the revolutionary army and financed the revolution of 2,000 oceans.

"Liu Yongfu, he is too old; The Black Flag Army, time has changed. I'm afraid it will be difficult to regain my prestige. Wan Fuhua shook his head. He said without hesitation: "It's a bit rash to start an incident in Guangxi just like this." ”

"It's not finalized, it's just an idea." Chen Wenqiang's fingers tapped a few times on the table, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is another favorable condition, and I have just received the information, that Phan Peizhu, a Vietnamese revolutionary aspirant, met with Mr. Song Fuhua, a great revolutionary, in Tokyo, and had a very happy conversation. According to Liu Yongfu, Pan Peizhu and the royal family Ruan Shu visited him. General Liu was invited to plan the military operations of the Vietnamese Revolution. If you connect all these things, do you think there is an article to do? ”

Wan Fuhua blinked and thought about it. Shaking his head, he said: "I don't know what the article is, but before overthrowing the Manchu Qing, I think it is irrational to provoke France, one of the great powers." ”

"French, hehe." Chen Wenqiang sneered with some disdain, "Judging from the historical record, the French Army is the worst, and the Sino-French War is actually not won." In Vietnam, after so many years, even a yellow flower detective can't be eradicated. If, if Pan Pei Chu can get in touch with Huang Hua Tan, and give the revival a little respite in Vietnam, I think mutual benefit is a very good strategy. ”

"In the Guangxi uprising, if the situation is favorable, it will develop and grow, and if the situation is unfavorable, it will withdraw to Vietnam to rest and recuperate, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback. That's what you mean, right? Wan Fuhua pondered and understood Chen Wenqiang's idea, and was both surprised and admired by this kind of wild imagination.

"Isn't it too complicated?" Chen Wenqiang smiled to himself and said: "It's no harm to try, I'm going to send a secret telegram to the revolutionary, and talk to Pan Peizhu again according to this line of thought, hoping that he can return to China to contact the anti-French people, mainly Huang Huatan, to see if there is any possibility of cooperation." ”

Huang Huatan, formerly known as Zhang Wentan, also known as Titan, was the leader of the Vietnamese peasant uprising known as "An Shi Hong'er", and was the only leader of the An Shi anti-French peasant rebel army. He used the jungle area as a base to build forts; At the same time, it adopted mobile guerrilla tactics, implemented the guiding ideology of saving the country and trying to survive, and fought in Beijiang, Bac Ninh, Fu'an, Taiyuan and other places, relying on the support and cover of the masses of the people, repeatedly inflicting heavy losses on the French puppet army, forcing the French army to change commanders four times.

In 1894, in order to rescue two Frenchmen captured by the rebels, the French colonial authorities were forced to send personnel to negotiate peace with Huang Hua. After negotiations, the colonial army finally agreed to ransom the captives for 10,500 silver dollars, withdraw from the Anshi area, and assign the territory of the four "general" (i.e., districts, a total of 22 townships) of Yannan, Mushan, Anli, and Youshang to him. In 1895, the French colonists attacked the rebels again, and after two years of hard fighting, the colonists were unable to destroy the rebels, so peace was negotiated again in 1897.

In Vietnam, although it was already a French colony, it was more stable in the south and more chaotic in the north. According to the Treaty of Hue, the southern provinces of Vietnam (Cochinchina) became French colonies, and the central provinces (Annam) were granted the status of protectorates, retaining the Viet Nam power in name only, and the north was under the control of French officials, but the French army was weak.

"Then try it, and you won't lose anyway." Wan Fuhua also smiled and said: "If it can really be negotiated, it will definitely be a good thing, we can even transfer the Qiongzhou Revolutionary Army over and let them go to fight." ”

"Let it go, how happy it is." Chen Wenqiang sighed and shook his head, when will he be able to let go of his hands and feet, take off his mask, and do a big job?

Doing the revolution with real knives and guns is called joy!

Qiu Jin wiped the sweat from her face, let out a long breath, turned her head to look at the mountains behind her, and was proud that she had come so far and overcome so many difficulties.

After some discussion with Yao Hongye and Chen Jingqing, there was no result due to disagreement, Qiu Jin was angry, did not say goodbye, and went to find the revolutionary army by himself, so as to fulfill his wish.

Starting from Yazhou, Qiu Jin passed through Baoting, passed through the mountainous area of Wuzhishan, and finally came to Qiongzhong County, where the revolutionary army often operated. Qiongzhong County is the Qiongzhong region, which is in the middle of Qiongzhou, and the revolutionary army is based on this, moving from east to west, surrounding Baisha, Tunchang, Qionghai, and Danzhou, so that several battalions of Qing troops in Qiongya are exhausted. Although Li Zhun was troubled, he learned the lesson of Liu Yongdian, and rushed forward without dividing his troops, but only increased his troops to Qiongya, Dongfang, Danzhou, and Qionghai.

Seeing the Fuxing Battle Flag on the head of the city from a distance, Qiu Jin was excited for a while, but he slowed down again and hesitated. Just entering the city, just finding the revolutionary army, just going to defect, it seems, it doesn't seem so easy, right? If it's a man, it's okay, it's normal to join the army and be a soldier; If you are a woman and no one has recommended you, will the revolutionary army accept it?

This shows the characteristics of the development and expansion of the Revival Society, which is tight and strict at home and very relaxed at foreign branches. In foreign countries, the address of the chapter is almost public, and there are open mouthpiece media, so it is easy to find and it is not difficult to join; In China, it's all secret, only the people of the Revival Society will develop you, and you want to join but you can't.

Just like in the merchant and militia groups, many Revival members do not reveal their identities, they are responsible for observation, they are responsible for testing, and only those who feel that they meet the requirements will be contacted, and then decide whether to recruit new members according to the situation. And high-level figures such as Chen Wenqiang and Wan Fuhua do not deal with ordinary members at all, and ordinary members do not know their identities at all.

The advantage of this is naturally secrecy, and even if the members of the Revival Association are exposed in the merchant group and the militia group, Chen Wenqiang and Wan Fuhua can also use negligence and prevarication, and use the revival association as an excuse that it is too cunning and the secret infiltration is too strong, and they can clear themselves up.

Therefore, if you want to join the revival association like Qiu Jin and Yao Hongye, the best way is to go to overseas chapters, such as Tokyo, Singapore, Hanoi, etc., or work honestly and make positive progress, and wait for the revival to find your head. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with doing this, if ordinary people can easily find the Revival Society, then the secret agents of the Qing court are all dead?
