Blackwater Province, Black Dragon Army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
These six words instantly stunned Zheng Shiliang.
Since mid-September, the Shanghai Nanming Daily exposed that the Black Dragon Army was in Aihui, after several major battles with Tsarist Russia, the whole country, who did not know the Black Dragon Army, that was able to turn over and wipe out tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops, thinking that at the beginning, when the Nanming Daily had just published those news, Zheng Shiliang and Sun Yat-sen were still in Shanghai, if it were not for the critical period of preparing for the uprising, Sun Yat-sen and Zheng Shiliang might have personally gone to the Nanming Daily office to inquire about the situation.
As a revolutionary, Zheng Shiliang naturally knows more than ordinary people, so more and more news about the Black Dragon Army is constantly being collected, especially after the Six Nations Observation Group arrives in Aihui, the mystery of the Black Dragon Army finally begins to be slowly revealed.
Of course, the news of the recent war between the Black Dragon Army and the Tsarist Qing court has also been widely circulated in China through many news channels, especially the Nanming Daily, about the battle between the Black Dragon Army and the Tsarist Qing court, there is a direct column, and the battle situation of both sides will be reported and evaluated every day.
However, as far as Zheng Shiliang knows, the last time he received news about the Black Dragon Army was the day before the outbreak of the Huizhou Uprising, and he vaguely remembered that the Black Dragon Army had been broken by Tsarist Russia several times and was about to face a desperate situation.
Unexpectedly, now there is a person standing in front of him, claiming to be from the Black Dragon Army, and, if this is the case, then the northern guy named Shuai Hong should also be from the Black Dragon Army, which also shows that in fact, the Black Dragon Army has been laid out in Guangzhou a few months ago, if so, I am afraid that the so-called desperate situation of the Black Dragon Army is not as simple as it seems.
"How do you call it?" Zheng Shiliang was stunned.
"Commander Zheng, could it be that the nobles are forgetful, Yue Jimin has already been informed just now." Yue Weihua smiled.
"Yue Jimin is your real name?" Zheng Shiliang asked rhetorically.
"Of course, Mr. Zheng is a revolutionary aspirant, how could Yue use a fake name to deceive you." Yue Weihua smiled lightly.
Yue Weihua's words made Zheng Shiliang feel very comfortable to hear, how to say that everyone is also a fellow believer, of course, the Black Dragon Army is indeed in front, but there is really no need for him to be so shocked, but the surname Yue, it can't be a coincidence, so he asked again: "As far as I know, the founder of the Black Dragon Army is a member of the Yue family, could it be that you are also a member of the Yue family?" ā
"Huh." Yue Weihua just smiled, didn't answer, and after a pause, he said: "Actually, it doesn't matter what identity I am, the important thing is that if I stand here, what will help you revolutionary rebel army, this is the point, what do you say?" ā
Yue Weihua avoided answering, but it was also expected by Zheng Shiliang, and he finally understood why Yue Weihua just said that his identity could only be known to Zheng Shiliang himself, and at most he could only inform Mr. Sun, now it seems that Yue Weihua is not only from the Black Dragon Army, but also an important figure in the Yue family, and finally understands why his identity is more dangerous than that of the revolutionary party.
Zheng Shiliang digested what he thought in his heart and calmed down before he continued: "I really don't need to delve into your identity, but I still have one last question I want to ask, I don't know if I can tell the truth." ā
"Hehe, even if Commander Zheng asks, as long as he can say it, Yue will naturally tell him." Yue Weihua said truthfully.
"Yes." Zheng Shiliang nodded, and then asked: "Dare to ask the Black Dragon Army and Tsarist Russia in the last battle, what was the outcome?" ā
"How did it end? That's a really hard question to answer. ā
Yue Weihua was a little entangled, and after pondering for a while, he said slowly: "There are some things that are really hard to tell you, well, let's put it this way, the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops formed by the Qing court of Tsarist Russia, and the Aihui who finally left alive are only more than 10,000 people, and our Black Dragon Army, of course, there will be sacrifices, but if you want to talk about a desperate situation, it shouldn't be, otherwise, I wouldn't have come here so leisurely to talk about revolution with Commander Zheng, what do you say?" ā
"Sure enough."
Zheng Shiliang took a deep breath and said, obviously, he also had a detailed analysis of the battle between the Black Dragon Army and Tsarist Russia, fighting in Bulun Mountain, the Black Dragon Army can advance and retreat freely, once it retreats into Bulun Mountain, where can Tsarist Russia find the figure of the Black Dragon Army, not to mention, there has already been heavy snow over there, and the mountain road is even more difficult.
"Okay, let's not worry about my identity, and don't worry about the Black Dragon Army, let's talk about your rebel army." Yue Weihua smiled and said, revealing some identities, there are good and bad, but no matter what, this can gain Zheng Shiliang's trust as quickly as possible, and it can also explain many things, such as where the weapon came from, and how Yue Weihua knows so much information.
"That's right, since Mr. Yue came out of the Black Dragon Army, he must be a person who can fight well, and Mr. Yue understands the situation of my rebel army so well, so I ask Mr. Yue for more advice." Zheng Shiliang's language is very sincere, although he still doesn't know whether the Black Dragon Army chose to meddle in the rebel army, whether it is good or bad for the rebel army, but no matter what, it will be a matter of the future, and everything will be solved to solve the current predicament.
"Advice, I can't talk about it, but I have some opinions, of course, in the end, it is up to Commander Zheng to make his own decision." Yue Weihua said.
Zheng Shiliang got up, bowed solemnly to Yue Weihua, and said, "Please also ask Mr. Yue for advice." ā
Seeing that Zheng Shiliang was about to bow again, Yue Weihua hurriedly turned his body to the side and said: "Commander Zheng, I can't afford your courtesy, although you and I may not have the same beliefs, but the goal is the same, so, no matter what, we are all like-minded people, and we are all people who are fighting for the rise of China, are you right?" ā
"People who fight for the rise of China, that's a good point, Mr. Yue is really knowledgeable, and Zheng admires it." Zheng Shiliang arched his hand and was about to salute again, so that Yue Weihua hurriedly avoided it, Zheng Shiliang laughed and put away this set.
Zheng Shiliang's actions made Yue Weihua sweat, Zheng Shiliang said in the history books that he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he was also a Canton Fair Party when he grew up, quite a bold person, why is this still pedantic, at the same time, he is also praying with the beloved Premier Zhou in his heart, and he is quick to speak, and he has appropriated your old man's famous words, don't be surprised.
The two of them praised each other a few more words before returning to the topic, Yue Weihua did not hide it, and said bluntly: "Just now Commander Zheng mentioned in his words that the biggest problem facing the rebel army at present is the problem of food and weapons and equipment, right?" ā
"That's true." Zheng Shiliang responded.
"First of all, I think the problem of food and salary is still easy to solve." Yue Weihua said: "Although I don't know much about the situation in Huizhou, but, as far as I know, there are rich families all over China, maybe the north is dominated by landlords and bullies, and the south is the richest merchants, am I right?" ā
"That's true."
"Well, since there are merchants and rich households, then there must be no shortage of money and food in the rich households, right?" Yue Weihua asked rhetorically, Yue Weihua in the south is indeed unfamiliar, but the landlords and bullies in the north, the food hoarded at home is thousands of quintals at every turn, and the silver in vain flowers is piled up one by one, and he is so rich.
"Mr. Yue, we are a revolutionary rebel army, not bandits, can't we do the thing of looting rich families?" Zheng Shiliang hurriedly objected.
Obviously, Zheng Shiliang heard Yue Weihua's words, and yes, Zheng Shiliang's thinking must be in the same vein as Mr. Sun, although Mr. Sun's Three People's Doctrine has not yet been formally proposed, but the prototype must be there, and Mr. Sun represents the interests of the bourgeoisie, and the rich are the groups they most want to win over, and they are the classes they need to represent.
Therefore, Yue Weihua wanted Zheng Shiliang to fight the idea of rich households and merchants, Zheng Shiliang naturally reacted more violently, because this is a matter of digging his own corner, if he does this, what is the difference between the revolutionary army and those peasant uprisings, besides, his Zheng Shiliang's family is also a rich family, do you want Zheng Shiliang to fight his own family's idea?
Zheng Shiliang's reaction was also expected by Yue Weihua, but he didn't expect to react so violently, so he smiled and said, "Commander Zheng doesn't have to worry, I'm not asking you to loot, but to borrow it." ā
"Borrow?" Zheng Shiliang smiled bitterly: "If this is so easy to borrow, I still need to be so distressed, of course, most of the rich families I met along the way will provide some food, and even give some silver money to our rebel army." ā
In the face of Zheng Shiliang's incomprehension, Yue Weihua was really a little speechless, so he had to further persuade: "Commander Zheng, in fact, there are two kinds of rich households, one is to gradually get rich through their own efforts, and the other is to take advantage of it and get rich, and even if they get rich, they are also rich and unkind, for these two rich households, I think our strategy can be slightly flexible." ā
"Differentiated?" Zheng Shiliang finally understood what Yue Weihua meant.
"Commander Zheng, I know that you are worried that you will ruin the reputation of the rebel army, so that the general public will misunderstand the revolution and mistakenly think that the revolutionary army is a bandit, right?" Yue Weihua said.
"That's true, that's why I've always strictly ordered the rebel army not to loot the people, and it's precisely because our rebel army and Minqiu have committed no crime that more and more people have joined our rebel army." Zheng Shiliang said proudly.
"Well, Commander Zheng's strict order is good, but how can we treat the rich who are not benevolent to the rich like ordinary people, and we do have difficulties, as the so-called rivers and lakes help the emergency, let these rich people pay something outside of their bodies for the success of our uprising, which can be regarded as supporting the revolution, of course, in terms of means, we can change it a little, as long as we don't let those guys who are rich and unkind know that it was our rebel army who did it, isn't there nothing?"
Yue Weihua's step-by-step earnestness and persuasion really felt like teaching a bad child, but after hearing Yue Weihua's analysis in simple terms, Zheng Shiliang really fell into thought, and it was obvious that Yue Weihua's guidance was still very effective.
After being stunned for a moment, Zheng Shiliang smiled helplessly: "I will think about it seriously, let's not mention the issue of food and salary for the time being, in terms of weapons and equipment, I don't know if Mr. Yue can still help us?" ā
"Of course." Yue Weihua affirmed that after receiving Zheng Shiliang's gift today, he had to pay it back, and if he wanted to change the fate of the rebel army, he would definitely have to provide some weapons and equipment.
Yue Weihua's affirmative answer made Zheng Shiliang suddenly overjoyed, originally he was just tentatively asking, but he didn't expect it to be true, it seems that it is really an endless road, so he asked urgently: "I don't know how much Mr. Yue can provide, don't worry, the funds for the rebel army are still available, and Mr. Yue will never be allowed to do a loss-making deal." ā
Yue Weihua was able to provide Shuai Hong and Liu Gensheng with weapons and equipment free of charge, that was a private relationship, and relatively speaking, the amount was also small, and now Zheng Shiliang undoubtedly needs a large amount, naturally he can't expect others to give it away for nothing, and even if it is given for nothing, Zheng Shiliang may not dare to ask for it, after all, in this way, the relationship with the Black Dragon Army in the future will be too deep, and if the uprising is successful, who will listen to this team, who will have the final say, etc., so, some things still have to be cleared up in advance.
"It's too hurtful to talk about money, they are all revolutionary aspirants, and they are in the same line, and the issue of money can be discussed again." Yue Weihua said bluntly: "However, the weapons that can be supported are limited at present,......ć ā
As soon as he heard the limit, Zheng Shiliang's heart hung again, and without waiting for Yue Weihua to answer, he asked urgently: "What is the limit?" Are there any other than these? ā
Seeing Zheng Shiliang's urgent appearance, Yue Weihua didn't smile, he couldn't help it if he didn't laugh, and Yue Weihua was a little uncomfortable, but it was understandable to think about people's feelings, so he hurriedly said: "There are 1,000 guns I brought here, of which 100 have been given to Liu Gensheng's subordinates, and the rest are in a col not far away, there are still three Makqin heavy machine guns, and there are no infantry guns, only the two that have just fired the cannons." ā
Call!
Zheng Shiliang originally thought that Yue Weihua said that it was limited, maybe there were only one or two hundred guns, but he didn't expect that there were nine hundred, and there were also three Makqin heavy machine guns, which made Zheng Shiliang breathe a sigh of relief, so many weapons and equipment are not easy to do, especially how the other party transported them, could it be that he knew in advance that he would come here, if so, it would be too godly, but when he thought of the identity of the other party, he felt that there was nothing impossible, forget it, he was too lazy to care about so many things, no matter how he transported it, he finally entered the rebel army anywayThat's it.
"With so much equipment, I am overjoyed, Mr. Yue is really generous." Zheng Shiliang sighed infinitely, and then said with great expectations: "Just now Mr. Yue said that the current weapons are limited, does that mean that there are others?" ā
"Yes, indeed." Yue Weihua nodded and said: "However, there are some things to talk about, these equipment in my hands can support the revolutionary army free of charge, but those goods, the quantity is relatively large, and the value is also very high, it may need to be paid in cash, and it cannot be delivered here, and it is possible to pick up the goods only when you go to Guangzhou." ā
There is no free lunch in the world, Yue Weihua is not unable to support, but he can't let the revolutionary rebel army develop the habit of getting something for nothing, in fact, the equipment given to Shuai Hong and Liu Gensheng today has already recovered the cost, because Shuai Hong's subordinates, that is, Yue Weihua's subordinates, just in the battle, but for Yue Weihua to earn 1,200 merit points, well, as for going to Guangzhou to be able to pick up the goods, it is to lay the groundwork for the next conversation.
"First of all, I want to thank Mr. Yue for his generosity, but the weapons and equipment in Guangzhou, hey, it's a pity, it would be nice if the uprising in Guangzhou broke out at the same time." Zheng Shiliang said helplessly.
"Commander Zheng, although the Guangzhou Uprising did not start on time, it is not impossible to let the Guangzhou Uprising restart?" Yue Weihua reminded.
"What do you mean by that?" Zheng Shiliang asked.
"Hehe, I have already instructed Commander Zheng before, I am afraid that the people of Dongying will not be reliable, I don't know if Commander Zheng agrees with my point of view, if he agrees, then Commander Zheng should not take the rebel army to Xiamen again, and if he does not go there, then what does Commander Zheng think the rebel army should do next?"
"Yes, I'm going to fight back to Guangzhou."
Zheng Shiliang's eyes lit up, if he did what Yue Weihua said, the money and food would be solved, and weapons and equipment would no longer be a problem, so why should he take people to Xiamen.
"However, before returning to Guangzhou, I suggest that Commander Zheng reorganize your rebel army."
"How to reorganize, please ask Mr. Yue to teach me."
