Chapter 186: The Alliance is infighting, and Long Jiguang is back
The Huanggang Uprising once again exposed the unbearableness of the old-style Qing army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Cai Hezong, the alternate general of Qian, turned his gun anyway, rushed into the co-ordination, captured and killed the governor Wang Shenwu, the general Xu Dengke of the city guard, and captured Xie Lanxin, the governor of Huanggang, and Dusi Longxi, etc., and the rebels won a complete victory.
At that time, Admiral Li Zhun had already led most of the Guangdong Patrol Army to Lianzhou, Qinzhou, and Fangcheng to participate in the blockade and suppression of the revolutionary army of the Fuxing Society. The strength of the Qing army in Guangdong was insufficient, the local defense was weak, and only Huang Jinfu, the general soldier of Chaozhou Town, could attack nearby, but he only had more than 900 people in three patrol battalions, and the troops were not sufficient, so he did not dare to dispatch easily.
The rebel army that conquered Huanggang set up a military government in the old capital Si Yamen, with Xu Xueqiu as the commander and Chen Yongbo and Yu both as deputy commanders, and issued a proclamation to the people in the name of "the capital governor of the Guangdong National Army", declaring that "the government is harsh on taxes, the people are very embarrassed, and they want to eliminate violence and peace", and issued more than ten disciplinary items. At the same time, the military government also asked the local rich to pay money and donate rice, and "the rich and rich were all extorted for military expenses, which was very huge."
Chao, Hui, Mei and other places have always been full of Hui parties, and the Huanggang Uprising immediately attracted members of the surrounding Hui Party to come, and some poor people also came to join the rebel army, and soon it grew to 5 or 6,000 people. Xu Xueqiu sat in Huanggang, and the other rebels divided into two routes, one led by Chen Yongbo, and went straight to Shantou; The other route was led by Yu Jicheng and went directly to Chaozhou to attack the Qing army of the Golden Fubu.
When Yu Jicheng's troops arrived in Chaozhou, it was already dawn, and the Qing army of the Golden Fubu had already prepared and failed to attack the city. The rebel army that attacked Chaoshan learned that Chaozhou had lost, so he changed his plan and transferred to the rest of the rebel army. The two roads will attack the Golden Fuqing Army, because the power of the rebels' earthen artillery is not great, and the guns and ammunition are not much, they still cannot break through Chaozhou.
When Xu Xueqiu from Huanggang heard the news, he sent people to Hong Kong. Urging the purchase of firearms and quick assistance. But things were clearly not as simple as he thought, as the League was experiencing an internal strife, and the purchase of firearms in Japan had been put on hold.
……………
After the Pingliuli uprising was suppressed, Duanfang, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, went to the imperial court, claiming that the uprising was related to Beichen, and the Qing government then requested Japan to arrest and extradite Beichen. After receiving a note from the Qing court, the cabinet of Saionji Temple in Japan. After some urgent negotiations, a perfect solution was finally found.
On the one hand, Japan announced to the Qing government that it would expel Sun Yat-sen from the country; On the other hand, considering that the revolutionaries would continue to maintain friendly relations with China after the success of the revolution in the future, it was not appropriate to offend the revolutionaries. As a result, the Japanese government notified Beichen through the heads of the Black Dragon Society, Uchida Ryohei and Miyazaki Inzo, asking him to leave Japan quickly. At the same time, the Japanese government also promised to subsidize Sun Yat-sen with 5,000 yuan, and another Japanese businessman, Kugoro Suzuki, was also willing to subsidize 10,000 yuan. As the fund for the departure of the North Star.
After Beichen accepted the grant, he left Japan with Hu Hanmin and others to go south. Because he did not disclose the issue of the grant to the headquarters of the League, it aroused the dissatisfaction and suspicion of some members, and set off the first wave of rebellion around the problem of funding.
When he left Japan, Beichen left 2,000 yuan for Zhang Taiyan as the fund of the "Minbao". However, Zhang Taiyan was too little, and thought that all the 10,000 yuan funded by Japanese businessmen should be left. As a result, there was an opinion on Beichen. Later, when he learned that Beichen had also accepted a subsidy of 5,000 yuan from the Japanese government, he immediately began to make a big fuss.
"Take bribes! Sun W was bought! ”
"This move undermines the prestige of the Alliance!"
Zhang Taiyan was even more angry. He tore down the photo of Sun Zs that was hanging in the Minbao office, and then marked it with the words "Sun W, who sold the "Minbao", should be removed immediately." He thought that Sun ZS was in the Hong Kong branch of the Alliance, so he sent the approved photo to Hong Kong to show humiliation.
The "anti-Sun" voice within the League was further raised, and Zhang Taiyan, Liu Shipei, Tan Renfeng, and others demanded that Liu Kuiyi, who presided over the work of the headquarters of the League, convene a meeting. Sun Zs was removed from the post of prime minister and replaced by Huang X.
The internal strife finally affected the external uprising. At this time, Sun ZS sent Xuanno Nagachi to Japan to buy firearms, and with the assistance of Miyazaki Inzo, he had already negotiated the purchase of 2,000 Murata-style fast guns. However, Zhang Taiyan and others believed that the weapons were outdated and unsuitable for combat, so they invented a code telegram in the name of the "Minbao" and sent it to the Hong Kong "China Daily." It is said that "the equipment is inferior and difficult to use, please stop buying again". As a result, the purchase plan was put on hold.
Although this trend of rebellion against Sun did not develop due to Sun W's self-persistence and Huang X's opposition, on the surface, it seems to have subsided. Within the revolutionary party, however, some opposition or dissatisfaction with Sun W persisted. The negative effects brought about by this are very obvious, and Sun ZS later did not ask too much about the affairs of the headquarters of the Alliance, and the organization of the Alliance gradually became sluggish.
First of all, the Liberation Society withdrew from the Alliance and continued to carry out its activities on its own in the name of the Association. Secondly, a group of members of the League, such as Zhang Boxiang, Deng Wenyun, Jiao Dafeng, Fang Qian, and others, who were dissatisfied with Sun W's focus on the movement revolution in South China and did not pay enough attention to the revolution in the Yangtze River Valley, established the Gongjin Association, changed the average land rights to average human rights, and designed the 18-star flag, which to a certain extent made a great distinction from the League.
Freezing three feet, not a day's cold. At the beginning of its establishment, the League had inherent deficiencies and defects, and the revolutionary groups had different purposes and "bridged the gaps", but finally they gradually dissipated.
Although the Huanggang Uprising was not supported by external salaries and weapons, it was echoed by another uprising.
Deng Ziyu, the assistant of Zheng Shiliang, a late member of the Xingzhong Society, was ordered by Beichen to contact Chen Chun and other leaders of the triad, gathered two or three hundred people, occupied the town of Qinuhu in one fell swoop, and seized the ammunition of the town's patrol battalion. Then, Ketaiwei, Yangcun, and Sanda captured the southwest of Yangcun and the northeast of Boluo. Xuan defeated Hong Zhaolin in the Qing camp in Baziye, turned south, and ran rampant in the east of Guishan. The four battalions of the Qing army were helpless about this.
……………
The lurking soldiers stared at the Qing army entering the ambush area with wide eyes, and they were more excited and nervous about the battle. At this time, the beating of each heart was very powerful, as if it had driven the entire ambush area to beat together.
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......" As the gunshots rang out, a row of grenades flew out of the grass and trees on the hillside, and exploded one after another on the dirt road, and puffs of black smoke wrapped in dirt, shrapnel, gravel, and flesh flew into the air. In the smoke of gunpowder, the Qing army fell into chaos under the sudden blow, and screams and exclamations came and went.
All weapons were fired in unison. Two tongues of fire devoured the enemy mercilessly, creating a storm of metal. Gunshots, explosions, and screams rang out. The Qing army was completely stunned, some rushed forward, some ran backwards, some raised their guns to shoot, and some looked around in panic.
Bullets screeched in the air. One by one, the Qing soldiers screamed and fell, and the premeditated ambush and ferocious firepower made this so-called new army, but it did not have many characteristics of the new army, and the Qing army, which had not experienced the battle array, soon lost the ability and will to resist.
Qiu J jumped out of the shelter, waved his hand violently, and shouted loudly: "Rush, kill!" ”
As a commander. She really wants to lead by example and lead by example, which should be the best boost to morale. But her guards had already rushed to the front, intentionally or unintentionally blocking her advance, surrounded by soldiers shouting slogans and bravely launching a fierce assault on the Qing army on the path.
"Rush, kill!" Suppressed shouts erupted from the opposite side, and another force rushed down the hill. Inflict a fierce flanking attack on the enemy.
The Qing army, which had suffered heavy losses, panicked and put up a slight resistance. He was stunned by the bloody white-knuckle battle, and ran away in all directions screaming. The defeated army that had fled was rapidly expanding, and the east and west were colliding indiscriminately.
Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that soldiers on the battlefield are easily hot-headed when charging, and under the influence of the fanatical momentum of their comrades, that is, once they enter the situation, they will charge desperately.
Of course. Only recruits are like this, and fanaticism comes and goes as fast as it comes; And veterans will judge calmly and flexibly and actively look for fighters.
And against the defeated enemy, the warriors who shouted and killed did not have the slightest intention of stopping. The formation was scattered, but the fighters were unstoppable. There were constantly people shouting excitedly, shooting, and chasing after the Qing soldiers. Then, a violent crash was made into the ranks of the Qing army.
The soldiers suddenly burst out with a monstrous roar, and the Qing army's psychology completely collapsed, facing the bright bayonets, some ran around, some screamed in surprise, and some had weak feet, kneeling and kowtowing to beg for mercy.
The soldiers quickened their pace more and more, and some fighters took out their grenades and threw them at the crowd that was close to retreating, "Boom! The grenade exploded in the dense crowd, and the Qing soldiers left a dozen dead or wounded companions to continue to run wildly.
The murderous soldiers became more and more bold, and often a single soldier dared to kill into the pile of several Qing soldiers, and the explosion distance of the grenades thrown out was getting closer and closer.
The soldiers' faces were full of gunsmoke, fierce expressions, angry roars, and blood-stained bayonets, which made the Qing army feel a burst of creepy, and the rout turned into an escape. However, everywhere there were shouts of killing, gunfire, and explosions, and the Qing army ran in vain, crying and wailing.
The desperate Qing soldiers constantly changed the direction of their escape, and each time they had to turn around and flee elsewhere. The white bayonets on the soldiers' rifles are very dazzling, the bayonet fighting is very bloody, and it is also the most powerful means to break the enemy's fighting spirit.
"Shoot or kill!" Another team suddenly cut off the retreat of the Qing soldiers, and the first few Qing soldiers who were running in a hurry did not have time to react, and they crashed into the bayonets of the soldiers, and the screams made the enemy who followed them abruptly stop.
The fighters shouted loudly: "Put down your guns!" Shoot or kill! ”
"Fuck, how dare you be dishonest when you look like a dog?"
"If you don't be honest, I'll shoot you!"
"Look at what, and then dig out your bastard eyes."
……………
The soldiers who poured up from all directions had already blocked the escape path of the Qing army, compressing them more and more tightly, some Qing officers took the lead in kneeling on the ground and surrendering, and other Qing troops surrendered one after another as if they had toppled dominoes.
The sun will set in the western sky, and the brilliant sunset will reflect the blood, mutilations, corpses, and bullets scattered all over the ground.
Groups of Qing prisoners were escorted to a large depression surrounded by armed revolutionary soldiers. The wounded Qing soldier gritted his teeth and endured the pain, trying not to make a sound. The attitude of the revolutionary army towards the prisoners was not very good, and when the soldiers were red-eyed, several Qing soldiers who knelt on the ground and surrendered were also stabbed to death by them.
The detachment leader, Long Jiguang, accompanied by the guards, inspected the battlefield. Being able to release him from the General Staff in a short period of time will naturally give the junta the confidence and strength to firmly control the Dragon Detachment. Long Jiguang also understood in his heart that almost all of his cronies and old generals were transferred, and even the guards were all newcomers, although he let the detachment leader go out to fight, but without the two deputy detachment leaders and the collegial discussion of the staff group, his orders would not be conveyed at all, and no middle and lower-level officers would obey his orders.
There is no way, his own net worth, life, and future can only be pressed on the revolutionary army, on this "revolution" that is about to change the dynasty. Just like those overly young officers, they may become the founding generals of the country in the future!
The situation is stronger than the man. Although Long Jiguang was helpless, he was indeed shocked by Chen Wenqiang. The revolutionary army was well arranged, so that he had no chance to repeat it at all. And when he really understood the equipment and strength of the revolutionary army, and saw the brave and fearless combat style of the revolutionary army, his psychology was slowly changing.
Maxim heavy machine guns, Madsen light machine guns, artillery, grenades...... Long Jiguang finally understood that when he first fought, the revolutionary army hid its strength and did not go all out. Look, the appeasement of the new army in Yunnan Province was beaten to a pulp, although it was said to be an ambush, but the gap in equipment and morale between the two sides can also be seen.
As soon as the heavy machine gun was fired, it killed people like mowing grass. Long Jiguang looked down at the corpse of a Qing army officer, and his men and horses were beaten to a bloody blur.
Fool, riding a horse and dressing differently, he's a live target. Long Jiguang shook his head and turned to leave. Fortunately, this victory also has its own merits, if it weren't for the fact that he sent people to move the Qing army patrol battalion and spread false news, it would not be easy to succeed in the ambush.
Well, that's why you let yourself out! Long Jiguang was not only the Tusi of Nagen, but also the head of the Guangnan County Youth League, because of his meritorious service in the suppression of the "Yi Rebellion" in Yunnan, he recruited troops in Wenshan, Mengzi, Jianshui, Jinping, Pingbian and Gejiu, and his influence also expanded rapidly at that time. has a reputation, has connections, and has a lot of old knowledge of him in the local patrol team, which has some influence and appeal.
