"Three points are hidden in the revolution, and there is no empty wind in my Hongmen; Cultivate a sharp spirit on the day of revenge, and swear to destroy the Qing Dynasty and sweep it away. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Okay, ambitious." After listening to the generous three-point vow, Chen Wenqiang couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and motioned for Xu Chunshan and the others to sit down.

Xu Chunshan, Li Jiajun, and Zheng Peichun thanked him, and three people from Longxingtang also attended the meeting, which will be the first batch of people to go to Qiongzhou to establish a stronghold.

After nearly a month of observation, absorption, and training, Xu Chunshan and the three of them were completely impressed by the ability of Chen Wenqiang and his subordinate killer team. The men of the rivers and lakes are not pragmatic, what they pay attention to is the hard fists, and the ones who are obedient are heroes and strong men. In the most recent operation, the three were also involved, passed the final test, and became part of the killer team.

During this time, Chen Wenqiang learned a lot about the situation in Qiongzhou through these three people, and became more and more convinced that his original idea was feasible. Although the three-point meeting in Qiongzhou still needs to be transformed for a long time, the Qing army in Qiongzhou is indeed very weak, the power of the three-point meeting is indeed very strong, and the terrain is also suitable for long-term persistence.

For example, in June 1854, Su Dawang, the leader of the Hui Party, gathered more than 3,000 people from Qiongshan, Ding'an, Chengmai, Wenchang, Huihelehui and other county capitals to launch an armed uprising, once captured the county seat of Huitong, and persisted in armed struggle for four years; For example, Zheng Hongming, the leader of the Wanzhou Three-Point Society, also tried to contact various families to plan an armed struggle in the whole of Qiong, planning to use Chengmai, Lingao, Danzhou, Thanksgiving, and Changhua as the west road, and Qiongshan, Wenchang, Lehui, Wanzhou, Lingshui, and Yazhou as the east road, in an attempt to carry out an all-Qiong attack on the Qing Dynasty's feudal rule in Hainan.

It can be seen from this that the anti-Qing consciousness of the "three-point meeting" in Qiongzhou is strong, but the flaws are also obvious. First of all, the "three-point meetings" in various places are not yet able to cooperate sincerely, lack of communication and liaison, and lack of a leader who can convince the public; Secondly, the "three-point meeting" is relatively closed from the outside, so there is no external support and guidance, although the number of people is large, but there is a serious lack of guns and ammunition; Finally, there is the loose and undisciplined nature of the Hui Party figures, and the lack of specialized military personnel to train and direct the insurrectionary Hui Party forces.

"You must remember that the revolution of today is far from the heroic revolution of ancient times, and the armed struggle is not as simple as the beginning of the battle." Chen Wenqiang went straight to the point and directly stated the shortcomings of the party, "The organization is lax, the training is lacking, and the discipline is lax; There are also groups of heroes competing for growth and killing each other, which is really harmful. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate and transform in order to make great achievements. ”

"The eldest brother is right, if the three-point organization in Qiongzhou can have half of Longxingtang, it will not be crushed by a patrol regiment." Xu Chunshan nodded yes, very envious of the organization and strength of Longxingtang, "When I return to Qiongzhou, I will follow the instructions of the elder brother to ask these brothers to help build the Qiongzhou branch of Longxingtang as soon as possible." ”

"Don't use that name just yet." Chen Wenqiang shook his head and vetoed, and said, "It's more convenient to carry out activities as you did in the previous three-point meeting." Wanzhou Zheng Hongming is very powerful and very smart, and it is-" He stretched out his finger and pointed at Zheng Peichun, "It's your clan again, let's start with him." You must at least establish a foothold in Wanzhou first, and obtaining his protection will be an important aspect of ensuring security. ”

"Zheng Hongming should be trustworthy." Zheng Peichun said: "When we fled, he gave us a lot of help and convenience. Moreover, his will to oppose the Qing Dynasty is also very strong, that is, he lacks weapons and capable people to guide him. ”

"Weapons are important, of course, but the key is people." Chen Wenqiang said slowly: "You all have practical experience and personal experience, and you should understand that holding a gun does not necessarily mean that you can become a warrior. No matter how you have to train for three or five days, even if it is one day, it is very effective. You can't rely on the strength of the crowd to scare people with guns indiscriminately, or give yourself courage. If you don't train, you can calculate how much ammunition will be consumed. ”

"Big brother is reasonable, but it is very difficult to recruit people for large-scale training." Li Jiajun showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

"It's not a large-scale training, it's a secret, batched, rotational training of a small number of personnel." Chen Wenqiang stretched out his finger and said firmly: "With 300 elite soldiers and strong generals, it is better than 3,000 reckless people." From now on, you must abandon the old idea of winning by numbers. In the same way, guns and ammunition will be smuggled in batches and small quantities. ”

"If you have three hundred fast guns, you dare to fight head-on with Liu Yongdian's gang of Qing dogs in Qiongya's soldiers." Xu Chunshan was more bold and bold, waved his fist, and said excitedly: "Let's talk about Wanzhou, but dozens of guns, less than a hundred Qinggou, can crush us so much that we dare not move." ”

"I'm afraid it's a bit of a risky thing to fight head-on." Chen Wenqiang smiled and said: "Our purpose is to persist for a long time and gradually grow. As long as the flag does not fall, the supply of personnel and materials will not be cut off until the training of personnel and the hoarding of guns and ammunition meet the requirements of a major counteroffensive. Therefore, after you arrive in Qiongzhou, you should first gain a foothold, then contact, and the most important thing is to find a place to retreat and hoard grain, grass and ammunition. Well, the five-finger mountain I talked about before is very good. ”

"Or do you want to rely on the sea?" Li Jiajun suggested: "For example, Wanzhou and Wenchang, in that case, the supply of personnel and materials can be smooth!" ”

"With the existence of the Qing Army's sailors, how can direct transportation be smooth?" Chen Wenqiang shook his head, "In this way, after you arrive in Qiongzhou, it depends on the development situation." Well, there's always a way to get it. Next, it is time for you to discuss with each other to determine specific actions, and you are no strangers to it, everyone speaks freely, and you must kick the first three feet well. ”

Feng Zhou, Chen Deping, and Ke Youwei are the elite generals of Longxingtang, among which Feng Zhou is Li Yapu's right-hand man. When he arrives in Wanzhou or Wenchang, he will be an industrialist who runs a canning factory, and he will carry a letter from Li Xingrui, the governor of Liangjiang, who is requested by Li Maozhen, a member of the Fuxing Society, so that he can carry out his actions smoothly without being harassed.

Chen Deping and Ke Youwei are good at espionage and assassination, with Feng Zhou's command, plus Xu Chunshan and other head snakes, this set of small teams is complete. When the foothold over there has been stabilized, Chen Wenqiang will continue to send people to Qiongzhou, such as Qiong international students and overseas Chinese from Qiong, who are developed by the Fuxing Association.

As for the arrest of Xu Chunshan and the others in Qiongzhou, Chen Wenqiang also took precautions, that is, let the three of them, like Feng Zhou and others, hang up the cross and disguise themselves as parishioners as a protective umbrella. And as for the level of what kind of painting and graphics at that time, I'm afraid I have to identify it to determine whether it is me. Therefore, those who have no beard and a beard, have a beard shaved, change their clothes, and have braids or cuts or plates, are not identified by acquaintances, and are almost not afraid of being recognized by strange government people.

In order to be more secure, Chen Wenqiang was ready to lobby Charlie Song to let him return to Wenchang's hometown as a pastor to build a church, and take Xu Chunshan and others with him to think it was a safer protection and stronghold.

In fact, Chen Wenqiang is talking about half a year, but he really has no bottom in his heart. It's not that I'm not at ease with my own people, but I don't dare to believe too much in the three points of Qiongzhou. But as the most resistant group of people in the people, and they have a deep foundation in the local area, if they want to start an uprising, they are really inseparable.

Therefore, Chen Wenqiang's long-term idea is to gradually reform, that is, to slowly mix the conscious and enthusiastic young people into the ranks of the uprising, and use the ability and passion of the young people to strive to transform the old-style rebel army into a new-style army.

Of course, everything is now an idea, and it has to be adjusted and changed in the course of development. But Chen Wenqiang has realized that the beginning of the incident may be very smooth, but the difficult time is after the Qing army gathers, it is possible to take down one or two county seats, and the difficult thing is long-term persistence.

The sequelae of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's loss of power and humiliation of the country, fear of foreign countries like tigers, and repeated land reparations became more and more obvious, and the lack of money to raise soldiers was one of the most obvious weaknesses exposed. Not to mention a remote place like Qiongzhou, it is a famous city like Wuxi, and there are only 100 officers and soldiers guarding the city every day, and the guns are old, but only a few dozen.

As long as the insurrection can be guaranteed to be secretive and sudden, it is usually possible to achieve results at the beginning of the uprising, as was almost the case in the ten uprisings before the Xinhai Revolution. By the time the Qing army mobilized its forces and surrounded it in all directions, the rebel army lacked stamina, mainly due to the lack of ammunition, resulting in failure.

Insufficient preparation is one thing, and the uneven quality of personnel is also an important reason. Just as Chen Wenqiang was worried, even if the gun was finished for the Hui Dang, who was accustomed to playing with big knives and spears, the amount of ammunition was not enough to waste. The most common mistake of novices who get guns is to put them indiscriminately, whether it is to scare the enemy or to give themselves courage, the actual effect is quite doubtful.

In order to hold out in the long run, external reinforcements and supplies are important, but if you can be self-reliant, coupled with favorable terrain and proper tactics, you have a high probability of being invincible.

In fact, Chen Wenqiang has another advantage that he has not said to the public. That is, he is familiar with the survival and combat of the subtropical jungle. Back then, the organization ordered him and another agent to go somewhere in Southeast Asia and assassinate a big drug lord. Scouting, lurking, approaching, and even being chased and fleeing for their lives after they succeeded. These experiences can be described as Chen Wenqiang's wealth, and he even planned to go to Qiongzhou in person to lead the rioters to stabilize the situation.
