The ancient city of Yongchang, with a long history, was built when the king of Nanzhao was Sheng Luopi, that is, during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, it was called "Zheyu City". In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, it was destroyed by Luchuan Silunfa. In 16 years, the new city was built, and the Taibao Mountain was included in the planning of Nanjing City, and the construction of Yongchang City was made a unified layout. The eastern, southern, and northern city walls of the city are each two feet and two feet high, and the west city wall is slightly shorter. In the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, the west city was added, and the Yongchang city developed into a city with a circumference of thirteen miles and fourteen steps, and there were eight majestic city gates.

Outside the ancient city, the river water drawn by Yiluo Pond and Mofang Ditch formed a moat, which flowed eastward around the city.

The rainy season has passed, and it has not rained for five or six days in a row, and many trees have lost their leaves, and the change of season is obvious.

Yang Wenkai looked up at the hot sun, patted the battlements casually, and a cloud of dry dust rose in front of him, he frowned and took two steps forward.

Although Yongchang was recovered, Yang Wenkai was not satisfied. According to the strategic arrangement of the revolutionary army, this battle was to completely annihilate the Yongchang Qing army, so that there would be no Qing army group in southwest and northwest Yunnan that could pose a threat. But the more than 2,000 Qing troops defending the city slipped away so quickly, or in a panic. It was ideal to take the battle without a fight, but the Qing army that retreated to Dali made it necessary for the revolutionary army to stay on guard against it, and the number of troops participating in the next stage of the campaign could be reduced.

From the perspective of the strategic situation, the Qing army was not optimistic, but seemed to be burdened. The important towns of Kunming, Dali, Chuxiong, Yao'an, Qujing, and Yuxi, plus smaller counties, were garrisoned in Yunnan Province in addition to the heavy troops in Kunming. The mobile forces in other areas are stretched thin.

The size of the territory is proportional to the size of the army, and the revolutionary army has worked out a development strategy to maximize self-reliance and support the war by war. The revolutionary army, which has undergone a large-scale supply of materials, has already broken through the bottleneck of weapons and equipment, and as long as the problem of food and salary is solved, it will be able to expand by a large margin.

"Old Yang." Autumn J walked up to the city wall with two female guards. Say hello from afar.

Yang Wenkai hurriedly beckoned, and when Qiu J came closer, the two saluted each other, and Qiu J asked with a smile: "Why, I didn't destroy the Qing army, I'm not in a good mood?" ”

"yes, I'm not satisfied." Yang Wenkai nodded and said, "As the commander of the Western Yunnan Military Region, I naturally hope to win more battles. If Yongchang's Qing army is annihilated. Even if the main force moves eastward, with the remaining forces, it can continue to recover the place and strike at the Qing army. Now, I'm afraid I can only go on the defensive. ”

"You're right." Qiu J deliberately paused, but smiled heartily, "Okay, don't sell off." The order from the General Staff has come down, and we are ordered to continue our march north. Attack Dali. Now, you don't have to worry about not fighting. ”

Yang Wenkai was stunned for a moment. Then there was a burst of surprise, and he asked, "How did you change your strategy?" When did the telegram from the General Staff arrive? ”

"The telegram has just arrived." Qiu J let out a long breath of relief and said with a smile: "When I first saw it, I was also a little incredulous. But when you think about it, it also makes sense. ”

Yang Wenkai stretched out his hand to stop Qiu J and thought for a long time. Guessing, he said, "I thought of a few reasons to see that it was different from yours." First of all, weapons and ammunition are sufficient, and the army will be expanded immediately, even if the troops of our western Yunnan Military Region do not withdraw eastward. The headquarters was also not too worried about the Qing army's attack; secondly, to meet the needs of the locality, not to gather too many troops, I am afraid that it is also out of such considerations; Finally, I think we are looking for a breakthrough in northwest Yunnan, or threatening Chuxiong, Yao'an, or even Kunming from the east; Or from Dali directly to Sichuan, the revolutionary fire is sown to the country of abundance. ”

Qiu J watched Yang Wenkai become more and more excited, a little stunned, but then relieved, isn't this the path of his ideals, I feel that my ideals are gradually being realized, aren't I also very excited?

"In my mind, in the future, the Western Yunnan Military Region may be an independent combat unit that can have a great deal of autonomous command." Qiu J nodded, agreeing with Yang Wenkai, and said his thoughts, "The main force has attracted the main force of the Qing army in southern Yunnan and Guangxi, and we may be the mobile force that can best expand the results of the battle." ”

"Makes sense." Yang Wenkai couldn't help but pat down the battlements again, and the dust raised made him take two steps back, but the smile on his face remained undiminished, "I may have missed a little bit just now, this decision is estimated to be an adjustment made by the General Staff according to the movements of the Qing army." If this is the case, the Qing army retreating to Dali will not be able to get reinforcements from Kunming, and our attack will be very smooth. ”

Qiu J pondered for a moment and said, "Immediately convene a military meeting, carefully discuss the plan of action, and determine the attack and the remaining troops, let's hurry up and act!" ”

As a soldier, being able to have the opportunity to stand alone is not only an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but also an acknowledgment of one's own ability. In the same way, with great power comes increased responsibility, and his judgment and orders will determine the future of this force.

Yang Wenkai nodded vigorously, talked to Qiu J, and walked down the city wall.

Yongchang City is very old, and compared with the cities in the Central Plains, it can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized level. And it has also been repaired several times, and the wall tiles are of different ages and colors, like patched rags.

But at this time, in the eyes of the two, everything looks beautiful, and the dilapidated Yongchang City also seems to have an antique taste.

..................

There are many reasons for the strategic change, and in addition to what Yang Wenkai and Qiu J guessed, the most important point is that Wu Luzhen and Chen Wenqiang have almost all of Guangdong's armed forces. The revolutionary army only had to leave a small number of troops to respond, and did not have to worry about an attack from the east.

Therefore, the General Staff could order the Western Yunnan Military Region to continue to expand its territory, and the old troops, together with the expanding men, could concentrate on dealing with the Qing troops around Guibei and Kunming.

Although the Qing army still had an advantage in terms of the comparison of troops, the quantity and quality were not proportional, and almost none dared to take the initiative to attack, all of which aimed to defend their own defense areas. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the Qing army was transferred from various places and had different thoughts and combat strengths, but the most important thing was that there were too few new troops. The old-style army has lost its aggressive spirit.

And in the present era, weapons and equipment have not yet occupied an overwhelming advantage. In other words, the will and spirit of soldiers often have the weight to determine victory or defeat in war, and the "spiritual atomic bomb" is still a weapon sufficient for victory in many cases.

It was in this respect that the revolutionary army had an advantage that the Qing army could hardly have, and a large number of middle- and lower-ranking officers with ideals and beliefs who regarded death as their home were flooded among them, although the training time for these officers was still short. But their enthusiasm and bravery made it possible for this force to often burst out with terrifying ferocity in battle.

The establishment of the Revolutionary United Front has enabled more revolutionaries with lofty ideals to plunge into the great changes unseen in this millennium and contribute their blood and lives. Led by the Fuxing Society, which united other revolutionary groups to jointly attack the authoritarian Qing court, such a general situation was finally formed.

"The Standing Committee of the Chinese Revolutionary United Front was established today." Song Fuhua was in high spirits and announced loudly. Clap vigorously.

The applause rang out, and Huang X, Tao Chengzhang, Jiao Dafeng, Zhang Baixiang, Sun Wu and others were also very excited. At that time, before the victory of the revolution, revolutionary aspirants did not pay attention to their position and money. They all do the work of losing their heads, they are all for the ideals in their hearts, and their thoughts are relatively pure and sincere.

Regardless of who dominates the Revolutionary United Front, the common goal is the same, the overthrow of the Manchus and the establishment of the Republic of China. And it is because of the efforts of the Revival Society. Only then did they point out a quick revolutionary road and provide a revolutionary stage for display.

For the Renaissance. It united the revolutionary aspirants from all over the country, and while strengthening their own strength, they also made up for their shortcomings in some areas, such as Huxiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Sichuan and other provinces.

The establishment of the Standing Committee indicates that the majority of revolutionaries at home and abroad have unified command and no longer go their own way.

As the chairman of the Standing Committee. Song Fuhua has a strong backing, the Renaissance Society, and also has the talent and enthusiasm to become a leader. Vice Chairman Huang X is honest and sincere, and has admirable moral character. The other members represented their own revolutionary groups, and perhaps there were differences in revolutionary ideas and strategies, but they joined the revolutionary torrent set off by the Renaissance Society. But sincerely.

Light wine, tea, fruits, the celebration is simple and warm. Song Fuhua smiled sincerely and happily, wandering among the crowd with a wine glass, talking and talking with revolutionaries from all over the world, and narrowing the relationship between them.

"Brother Keqiang." Tao Chengzhang walked up to Huang X, raised his glass, took a sip, and asked tentatively: "The members of the Revival Association, except for Mr. Song, are all Shenlong, you came early, do you know who they are?" If it was excusable to remain mysterious before, now that we have joined forces, or are it secrets, is it a bit distrustful? ”

Huang X shook his head and patiently explained: "It's not that we don't trust, but that the stakes are very high, and the success of the revolution is a big plan, and the revival society has to be cautious." If you look at the composition of the Standing Committee, you should know that the Revival Council is not overwhelming. Groups, big or small, are the same as their Revival Society, with two Standing Committee members. And the provision of funds, military academies are also open to various groups, which shows that they have no intention of guarding against outsiders. ”

"I'm just curious, worried that other people will think like this." Tao Chengzhang smiled a little wryly, and said: "After a quick look, I also saw the strong strength of the Revival Society, as well as the maturity of revolutionary theories and strategies. Although I do not agree with some of these assumptions, it was after the victory of the revolution, and it is too early to argue. ”

"Compared with the Mobilization Party and the Green Forest, the Revival Association is indeed more mature than other groups." Huang X nodded and said, "I've been here longer than you, and I've seen more." The Revival Society is not only very cautious about the mobilization of the party and the green forest, but also suppresses the evildoers. As a result, instead of weakening their power, the common people have been spared from being harmed by them, and they have supported them more enthusiastically and actively. I'm afraid that this kind of behavior and results are also something you didn't expect, right? ”

"There are good and bad people in the party and the green forest, naturally there are heroes who rebelled against the Qing court, and there are also scum who robbed their homes and houses. Tao Chengzhang defended: "It is impossible for us to accept the scum who kills people and robs goods, harasses the people and harms the people. Moreover, it has been decided within the Liberation Council to shift its focus to the mobilization of a new army. ”

"It's a clever strategy." Huang X was very appreciative and reminded: "The power of the Revival Society in Anhui and Fujian does not seem to be strong, and it is likely to rely on the Restoration Society, but you have a chance to show your strength." ”

"As long as there are sufficient funds and sufficient food and ammunition, if there is an incident in Anhui, Fujian, or Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Guangfu will be the forerunner." Tao Chengzhang paused, shook his head again, and said: "I'm afraid that the revival will not start from scratch, but to resolutely implement the plan of dominating one or two provinces." ”

"It's not necessarily that the Liberation Society will launch an uprising and charge into battle." Huang X smiled and said: "When the general trend of the revolution becomes a storm, the Liberation Society will rise up and respond in the deep-rooted places, restore the localities, stabilize the society, make the country less turbulent and lossy, and let the people suffer less and suffer, isn't it also a revolutionary feat?" ”

Tao Chengzhang blinked, looked at Huang X for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black." That's true, but your statement is very close to the argument of the Revival! ”

"I'll listen to what is right, I'll do it, it's as simple as that." Huang X pondered for a while, and said earnestly: "It is really hard-won for the United Front to be established. If the revolutionary aspirants can unite, they will have less of a gateway view, more consciousness of seeking common ground while reserving differences, and there will be no more division and internal strife. ”

Tao Chengzhang frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Keqiang, do you still think that it is wrong for me to have a discord with Beichen?" Is it right that he is domineering and domineering, and that he can't be honest with others? ”

Huang X sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and said, "Don't mention the previous things, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong now." Now it is enough for everyone to work together for a common goal. ”

Tao Chengzhang opened his mouth and didn't say anything more, but he was a little unconvinced.

After being silent for a long time, Huang X opened his mouth and asked: "Huanqing, Uncle Mei is still the editor-in-chief of "Minbao", so he should continue to drum and shout for the revolution and get so many Buddhist articles in the newspaper, is it inappropriate?" ”

Tao Chengzhang smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Mei hopes to use religion to inspire confidence and improve the morality of the people. His so-called religion is the two sects of Huayan and Faxiang with the character of 'relying on oneself and not according to others'. He believes that only with this kind of faith can we be brave and fearless, and we can do things as one. ”

Huang X blinked his eyes and thought about it, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head at Zhang Crazy and Zhang Nerve.
