Chapter 856: Revolutionary Party
The little emperor Fu Yi issued an edict of abdication, and the news reached the forbidden army camp, and tens of thousands of forbidden troops fell into panic in an instant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Without a court, it means that they have become rootless and ethereal. Not only has there been no source of military salaries, but even the most basic weapons and ammunition for fighting a war and saving lives have been lost.
In this case, the morale of tens of thousands of forbidden troops disappeared all at once.
And at this moment, the Wehrmacht First Army, which had not moved for several days, moved.
With the regiment as a unit, the entire forbidden army camp was quickly surrounded. Nearly 100 field artillery, mountain artillery, heavy artillery, and even mortars were all aimed at the barracks of the forbidden army, with a posture that could be fired at any time.
After doing all this, Wang Hu directly asked a forbidden army commander who had been captured a few days ago to go to the barracks to persuade him to surrender.
Within an hour lay down their arms and surrender, otherwise, more than a hundred artillery pieces outside would have opened fire on time.
The imperial court is gone, and the senior officers of the forbidden army who are loyal to the imperial court have only one idea at this time, to save their lives, no matter what, they must save their lives before talking about anything else.
Therefore, in less than an hour, the commanders of several towns of the forbidden army made the decision to surrender,
In fact, at this time, they had no other choice, and when the tens of thousands of forbidden troops were all panicked, even if they wanted to continue fighting, no one would give them their lives.
Yuan Shikai, who had retreated to more than 100 miles away with illness, also received an abdication edict from the little emperor Fu Yi.
At this time, Yuan Shikai suddenly understood that from the beginning of the Wehrmacht's entry into the war, the imperial court and himself were under the calculations of the Wehrmacht.
Thinking that tens of thousands of elites of the forbidden army on the battlefield were about to surrender to the Wehrmacht because of Fu Yi's abdication edict, and even directly became a member of the Wehrmacht, Yuan Shikai, who was holding back his anger, was directly fainted with anger.
After finally being rescued, he looked up at the sky and shouted with an unwilling face: "Why, why is the advantage taken by the Wehrmacht." Is God really on the side of the Wehrmacht, why can't the Beiyang Army enter the capital, and the Wehrmacht will enter the capital as soon as it goes! ”
The subordinates next to him were also very unwilling, and several town commanders ran to Yuan Shikai to ask for battle on the spot.
Return to the battlefield the same way, as long as the forbidden army has not surrendered, at least half of the tens of thousands of forbidden troops can become prisoners of the Beiyang Army, and then evolve into a member of the Beiyang Army to increase the strength of the Beiyang Army.
"Shut up!" Looking at the noisy subordinates in front of him, Yuan Shikai, who had finally calmed down, scolded loudly.
"What's the use of going back, do you think the Wehrmacht might give the Forbidden Army more than a day to consider whether to surrender?"
"Also, the forbidden army is not a fool, the court is gone, and the emperor has issued an edict to abdicate. Sure the sooner you surrender to the Wehrmacht, the better it will be for you, and the fact that fools will know, they will not know. ”
"Even if we march back now, it won't have any effect, but we will lose Jinan City!"
Yuan Shikai, whose face returned to seriousness again, then ordered: "What are you doing here?" Immediately urge the troops to speed up the march and quickly return to reinforcements. The other imperial court did not take advantage of it, but lost Jinan City. ”
When the Beiyang Army continued to rush in the direction of Jinan, a confidant rushed over with a telegram.
"Marshal, something happened, more than 10,000 national defense troops have arrived outside Jinan City, they have brought a lot of artillery, and the garrison standard stationed in Jinan City has just sent an urgent telegram, asking for reinforcements!"
"How can it be so fast, aren't they still more than a hundred kilometers away from Jinan City yesterday?" Yuan Shikai asked with a look of disbelief.
The staff hurriedly replied: "The national defense forces that raided Jinan City are all equipped with war horses, and they are fast, and they are in a hurry day and night. What the infantry could have walked in three or four days, they did it in only two days and one night! ”
"Also, in order to protect Jinan City, all the garrisons that can be drawn from the surrounding counties have been transferred to Jinan City. Therefore, the Wehrmacht fought all the way to Jinan City, and almost never encountered resistance! ”
"Fuck off, stupid, how long can an isolated city hold out without artillery. Why didn't they report to Ben Shuai when they withdrew their troops, even if each of the seven or eight county towns that the Wehrmacht had to pass through, even if each county only blocked the Wehrmacht for an hour, it would delay them by at least eight hours, or even longer! The angry Yuan Shikai scolded loudly.
The staff member with the telegram in his hand hurriedly replied: "Marshal, it is useless to talk about this now. When the Wehrmacht approached the city of Jinan, they would definitely attack immediately. ”
"We don't have many troops in Jinan City, and our equipment is poor, so we definitely won't be able to hold out for too long."
"From here to Jinan City, even if we don't rest and keep hurrying, it will take a day and a night, and I'm worried that we will lose Jinan City."
At this time, Yuan Shikai was surprisingly sober.
Frowning and affirming: "Jinan City will definitely be lost, there is no doubt about it!" To be sent by Yang Xingguo to Shandong to raid our base camp, the combat effectiveness of this army must be very strong! ”
"So, what we need to do now is how we can minimize the losses after Jinan City is taken by the National Defense Forces."
Without thinking about it, a town commander replied, "Kill it now!" ”
"It will take time for the Wehrmacht to take the city of Jinan, and it will take time to transfer the capture in the city of Jinan. As long as we are fast enough, we can kill back before the Wehrmacht transfers the capture. ”
"They either choose to fight us or give up on seizing. Retreat directly with the troops! ”
Yuan Shikai knew better than anyone that this was the only way to mitigate his losses.
So, without thinking about it, he ordered the troops to continue on their way!
At this time, other provinces in the south also received Fu Yi's edict of abdication, and many governors with real power did nothing and waited to see what happened.
But people in Wuchang City were indeed panicked, and they were shrouded in panic up and down.
Although Huang Xing broke away from the revolutionary party, the development of the revolutionary party in Hubei was greatly affected. However, this change did not affect the course of history, and the power of the revolutionary party continued to develop rapidly in Hubei, especially the new army in Wuchang, many of which were secretly controlled by the revolutionary party.
Especially in the past year or so, after the Beiyang Army broke with the imperial court, and the imperial court's control over these provinces became weaker and weaker, the development of the revolutionary party in Hubei was even faster.
They also received a telegram from Fu Yi to abdicate the throne, although many revolutionaries knew that the future China would either belong to the Beiyang Army or to the Wehrmacht. But there are still many revolutionaries who are not reconciled to the fact that the forces they have built up in Wuhan have not gained anything.
In this case, the revolutionaries in Wuchang wanted to gain more political capital for themselves and to have more say in the future of China. Decisively took advantage of Fu Yi's abdication and the Governor's Mansion fell into chaos to launch an uprising, first controlling the Wuchang New Army and then controlling the entire Hubei step by step.
As long as they own at least one province, they will have a lot of say in the formation of a government in the future. (To be continued.) )
