Chapter 164: Vietnam Base, Return from Inspection
The wind was not strong, the waves calmed down, and the endless silence enveloped the entire space, and in the intermingling of nature, everything was silent. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the sea under the sky to reveal the smooth undulating chest and abdomen, the sun also revealed a golden face.
A cool breath blew from the sky, causing the sea to shiver, as if the rising sun was sighing for satisfaction to the sky.
Qiu J let out a sigh of relief, turned his eyes back to the sea, and took a few quick steps to keep up with his teammates in front of him.
After nearly half a year of military training and study, Qiu J has graduated from the military academy and became an officer with the rank of second lieutenant. In the past month, the graduating officers have been learning about jungle warfare, survival, and other knowledge, and have undergone arduous and unusual adaptation training. Thanks to Qiongzhou's unique environment, they don't have to turn book knowledge into practice at the end of the day.
Of course, this has also aroused all kinds of conjectures among the military officers, and Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan all have similar environments, and the so-called mainland strategy is probably to start up again in one of these three provinces and set off a new upsurge of revolution.
However, the relevant arrangements and information are confidential, and members are not allowed to inquire in principle. Until he received the order to set out, sailed on the sea, and changed to a small boat to land, Qiu J and the others still didn't know where they were and where their destination was.
After a whole day of trekking through the mountains and forests, a group of more than 30 people finally came to Taiping Township, Vietnam, which is already one of the 22 townships in the four districts of Yanan, Mushan, Anli and Youshang, where Huanghua Detective is entrenched.
Although the legal person could not help Huang Huatan for the time being, divided the four districts into his jurisdiction, and made a 30-year non-aggression agreement, everyone knew that this agreement was nothing more than a dead letter, and there was no shortage of reasons to provoke incidents and start wars again.
Huang Huatan also had a relatively clear understanding of this, and he recruited people from all over the country to settle in the base area. production self-sufficiency; On the one hand, it sent people to China to buy guns and ammunition to strengthen the armed forces. Phan Pei Zhu, the leader of the Vietnam Restoration Society, and others came to contact us, and it can be said that they hit it off, and Huang Huatan joined the Restoration Society, and reached a secret agreement with the Renaissance Association to support each other, and assigned Taiping Township to the Renaissance Association as a place for military training and recuperation.
At this time. The sunset is just approaching the West Mountain, which is extraordinarily brilliant. The mountains and forests shimmer in the afterglow of the setting sun. Looking to the west, a huge silhouette of the mountains is a screen in the cosmic hall, and the sunlight sprays golden light from the zigzag back of the mountain to the blue sky, and the distant mountains are set off in a blue and purple color.
Qiu J stood at the pass of the mountain, and he couldn't bear to leave this magnificent view. This will be where she will start fighting again...... Scattered on the wooded hillside are villages, bamboo buildings and army barracks, where smoke rises and soldiers returning to the camp after finishing their training on the training ground.
"It's dark. The road is difficult, let's go! The soldier at the hilltop post kindly reminded him, looking at the woman curiously from time to time.
Qiu J nodded gratefully, turned around to keep up with his teammates, and for some reason, his steps became brisk again after a day's trek.
Everyone arrived at the camp, as they were all newcomers, after registering the officers with a brief record. So he sent for them to rest first, and then come again tomorrow morning at nine o'clock to accept the distribution.
The subtropical environment is similar. Qiu J has already adapted to Qiongzhou, but he has not fallen asleep when he turns over a few times while lying on the bamboo bed. She simply opened her eyes wide, looking at the roof of the bamboo shed, her heart fluttered...... the long sound of the military horn floated and echoed in the barracks, and Qiu J stood at the intersection of the barracks, bathed in the morning breeze. For her, the military camp is already a place with special warmth and inextricability, and the tense and interesting military school life appeared in her dream again......
The sky was bright and the dew was still rolling on the leaf tops. Qiu J had already walked out of the bamboo shed, breathed in the fresh air, and ran towards the training ground.
I am used to morning exercises, and yesterday's day's road, even if it was a camping exercise, had no effect on Qiu J. Moreover, the training ground was already full of people, shouts, whistles, military horns, and passwords sounded, and there were five or six hundred people conducting drills.
Among these five or six hundred people were loyal members sent by various branches in Nanyang, backbones sent by Qiongzhou, and miscellaneous armed forces who were persuaded to come over from the border of Yue and Yunnan. The largest number is the overseas Chinese in Vietnam, with the strong mobilization of the Hanoi Revival Association branch and the advantage of being close to each other, and the number of them is more than half.
Guangxi Hui Party, You Yong has been surging for a long time, and it is even more convenient in the Sino-Vietnamese border area, or to Yunnan, Guangxi, or to cross the border, taking advantage of the characteristics of the Qing army and legal persons to be cautious in transit, avoiding the strong and the weak, has become the most effective way to survive.
Although the Revival Association believes that the Hui Party and You Yong have many shortcomings, and does not regard them as the main target of development, it is not completely abandoned. If it is willing to accept reform, military training and discipline, the Revival will not spare money and weapons.
Although it decided to launch an uprising in the border between Yunnan and Guizhou and Vietnam, the Revival Society still followed Tran Van Qiang's strategy and method, that is, to accumulate and make sure to be well prepared before acting. The first condition for the uprising was that there should be at least three battalions of more than 1,000 guns, which did not include the Qiongzhou people. In addition to the more than 200 backbone personnel sent by Qiongzhou, it is necessary to recruit 7 or 800 new soldiers to meet the basic requirements.
This is not a lot of goals, and if the criteria are relaxed, they will soon be filled. But if you want a loyal and reliable army, you can only refine it first and then expand it. Slow is a little slower, but the fight is assured, but we dare not gather three or five hundred people like the League, or dare to revolt if the good and the bad are uneven and the guns are not complete, it is more accurate to say that it is troublemaker.
Of course, this is not to say that this kind of troublemaking is useless, but relying solely on the Hui Party has little hope of success. Although the current Qing army's combat effectiveness is very poor, it can still take a town or something at first glance, and after a long time, the weaknesses of the old-style Hui Party will be exposed, and the follow-up supplements are difficult to keep up, and defeat is inevitable.
Looking at the drills of the recruits in the training ground, Qiu J made an assessment in his heart. After experiencing the battle and studying military affairs, her vision is no longer what it was at the beginning.
There is still a gap with the soldiers in the Qiongzhou base! Qiu J watched the movements of the recruits and quickly made a judgment. But she was relieved that the recruits had the same enthusiasm and energy. Listen to the heartfelt cry, and people will immediately feel uplifted.
"Salute!" The voice interrupted Qiu J's thoughts and drew her attention.
Ge Zhichu was dressed in a military uniform and walked over with two guards. Seeing Qiu J stunned for a moment, he turned to smile and nodded.
Qiu J wanted to salute, but found that he was dressed in civilian clothes, so he had to smile bitterly and put down his hand that was raised in the air.
"Arrived yesterday?" Ge Zhichu walked over and asked with a smile, "I'll just say it." Didn't see your name. Work will be assigned today, you, military or logistical? β
After leaving for such a long time, Ge Zhichu really didn't know what major Qiu J was studying.
"Military." Aki replied: "I graduated from the military academy and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant. β
"Second Lieutenant Autumn." Ge Zhichu's face was tanned, although he was younger than Qiu J, his demeanor was very mature, and he nodded and praised: "Qiu Woman, you just want to learn military affairs." The battle array rushed to kill, which is the name of it. Very well, the first female lieutenant in the revolutionary army, or will grow up to be the first female general! β
"Thank you for your good words." Qiu J's free and easy temperament did not change, and he smiled generously: "What about you, when will you be promoted to a colonel-level officer?" β
"Huh." Ge Zhichu glanced at his rank of captain, smiled, and said confidently: "Next year at the latest." As long as there is a fight, is the promotion not fast? And this time it will be a constant and continuous battle. It will fight until the Manchu Qing is overthrown and the Republic of China is established. β
Qiu J became excited, nodded vigorously, and asked suspiciously, "Sir, are you the supreme commander here?" β
"At the moment." Ge Zhichu joked: "But when there is an incident, there will be higher-level leaders who will come to command, so that it will show momentum!" I won't let this unknown junior. A captain to be the commander, right? β
"The commander-in-chief of the front is still possible." Qiu J guessed and said, "After all, you have been here the longest and know the situation best. β
Ge Zhichu shook his head slightly, the higher secrets were obviously unknown to Qiu Ji, and they were not convenient for him to reveal. The Renaissance Association sent people to do Liu Yongfu's work with all their might, not only because Liu Yongfu was "prestigious. prestige at home and abroad", but also because Liu Yongfu promised the revolutionary army that after the Guangxi uprising, he would send Wu Fengdian, the former general of the Black Flag Army, to organize the children of the Zhuang Han nationality in Qinlian and Zuojiang to join the army enthusiastically.
In this regard, Ge Zhichu agreed, Guangxi sent good soldiers, that is a history of history, according to Liu Yongfu's prestige and fame in Guangxi, the revolutionary army can naturally be greatly expanded, and its strength soars. Moreover, Liu Yongfu is nearly 60 years old, and he does not know much about the equipment and operational characteristics of the revolutionary army, so the real power to command the operation will still fall into the hands of the military personnel of the Renaissance Society.
"We'll talk when we have time." Ge Zhichu nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed at the recruits in training, "It's good for you to take a look here, and you can take a good idea of the recruits assigned to you." β
Qiu J smiled and watched Ge Zhichu walk into the training ground with a tall posture, watching him stand on the command platform, scanning with his back hand, and his majestic appearance was enviable.
The circumstances of life are so unpredictable. Once upon a time, Ge Zhichu was an inconspicuous among the many international students in Tokyo, and now he has grown into the backbone of the revolutionary army; As for myself, if it weren't for the coincidence and mistake, I am afraid that I would not know where to shout about revolution, but I would be outside the real revolution!
What Qiu J learned was not only the military, but also the regular briefings within the Revival Association, as well as the political study materials provided to the members, which also had a subtle effect on her. Once people have time to think calmly, their state of mind will change, and it will be easier to make rational and sober judgments.
And his personal experience and experience made Qiu J realize that the revolution is not easy. From the organization and training of the army to the supply and replenishment of firearms, ammunition, grain, grass, silver, medicine, etc., without great strength, it is simply impossible to support the progress of the revolution.
What kind of situation the alliance would be like, Qiu J knew, and it was impossible to make such a huge investment. Comparing organizational discipline, operational strategies, propaganda and other aspects, it is even worse than the revival meeting!
In this way, it seems obvious to which group the hope of the victory of the revolution lies.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Revival Society secretly prepared in the southwest, preparing to rise up again and erect the banner of revolution. Domestically, the situation is also changing, and whether it is favorable to the revolution or not to the revolution is a matter for each person to have their own opinions.
On July 12, 1906, Zai Ze returned to Shanghai after going abroad to inspect the constitution. On 21 July, Dai Duantuan also returned to Shanghai. On the day of the return of the delegation, people from all walks of life came to greet them. Obviously, in the face of the country's weakness, everyone expects them to bring hope for China's rejuvenation.
The five ministers' overseas inspection, called constitutional inspection, is actually about politics and law, economy and industry, education and culture, military science and technology, social welfare, public facilities, and even etiquette and customs. Due to the limited time and the fact that there are so many countries and contents to be examined, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of being a dragonfly and a little bit of a flower.
Objectively speaking, to a large extent, the five ministers' overseas expeditions focused more on formal observations than on substantive and effective operational proposals.
First of all, language is a big issue in the field trip. None of the five ministers were proficient in Chinese foreign languages, and they often encountered a large language barrier when communicating with foreign dignitaries or related personnel, and the communication between the two sides often required accompanying translators or local Chinese students (there were also some foreigners who had lived in China and could speak Chinese).
Due to the extreme lack of linguistic talents in the Qing Empire, the level of translation of various foreign languages at that time was also very lacking, as the delegation said: "Today, we have traveled far and wide to countries with completely different languages and writings, and they have to examine their cultural relics system.
Despite all the difficulties, the inspection of the ministers was very rewarding. When they returned to China and returned to the Qing court, they submitted a "Report on the Investigation of Constitutional Affairs". In the report, the visiting ministers clearly pointed out that "constitutionalism is beneficial to the monarch and the people, but not to the officials", and formally put forward the idea of implementing a constitutional monarchy.
This report was written with a clear point of view and a magnificent momentum, and some people later suspected that it was not the work of the five ministers, but the work of a trustee. It is said that at that time, the Minister of Investigation handed over the task of folding to the attachΓ© Xiong Xiling, and Xiong Xiling found Yang Du from Japan to help, and Yang Du later asked Liang Qichao to write a part of it. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, and regardless of who wrote the report, the demand for constitutionalism was formally put forward in the form of an official document.
