Chapter 197: The rallying call, the wind rises
Winter in Hainan is actually spring in the north. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info it is the most beautiful time of the year. There is no cold wind, no snow, the ground under your feet is scorching, and the wind rushing in front of your face is warm.
Qiu Jingxia stood on the hillside, looking at another group of men and horses who drove from nowhere last night to practice, even if they were far away, they had to hear their passionate shouts of killing. I didn't fly for several years, and I soared into the sky. With the security constantly intensifying and the personnel continuing to arrive in secret, she knew that the exciting moment was coming.
More than 100 backbone soldiers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang transferred from the southwest, 1,500 elite soldiers from the southwest, and more than 1,000 soldiers from Qiongzhou formed the 3,000-strong Southeast Revolutionary Army, and their target will be Shanghai, Nanjing, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The time for the great launch of the revolution has been postponed again and again, and although it is due to the situation, it is impossible for some people to have no opinion on the headquarters.
However, this is an order from the headquarters, and the first discipline to be observed by the members of the Revival Society is to obey orders, obey commands, and never allow individuals to act alone. At home and abroad, there are very few revolutionary organizations that can not only define short-term goals, but also have detailed and thoughtful long-term plans. It is no accident that a strategic height determines combat effectiveness, strict discipline determines cohesion, a clear and far-sighted program and purpose determines appeal, and with a strong economic backing, Fuxing will become a revolutionary group that dominates the competition.
The little officer shouting the password loudly in the distance is Yao Hongye, right? Qiu Jingxia didn't need to see his face clearly, he could guess about the same. In the southwest, the two also met in a hurry, and it was not until they were mobilized and assembled that they had more contact again. At that time, I was confused and struggling, but finally came together because of a common ideal.
There are many, many such people and things, and at first glance they are familiar, so they talk carefully. I may think that I had an acquaintance in Tokyo or at a revolutionary rally somewhere. And these revolutionary youths, like Qiu Jingxia and Yao Hongye, walked through the confusion, and finally gradually gathered under the revolutionary banner of the Renaissance Association.
Turbid wine does not dispel the tears of the country, and when it is saved, it should be out of the crowd. Fight for 100,000 skull blood, and we must try our best to save the world. Qiu Jingxia remembered the poems he wrote in his early years, and now he feels that it is the right time.
A communications soldier ran over to give orders. Interrupting Qiu Jingxia's thoughts, from the hurried words, she guessed that the action was about to begin.
Yes, the trumpet of the assembly has been sounded, and the death knell of the Manchu dynasty is about to sound.
…………
The order to launch was finally given, and the clearing in the valley was filled with three regiments of soldiers. The morale is high, and they are all loyal members of the Revival Society, and they are all enthusiastic young people who do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives and blood to the revolution.
The military song of the revolutionary army is singing, and the tune is magnificent. Resolute and heroic, the lyrics are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and easy to understand. The lyrics and music are integrated, and the chorus of thousands of people sounds enthusiastic, excited, and eager to rush into the rain of bullets and bullets immediately, shouting and fighting with the enemy.
When Song Fuhua walked into the meeting hall accompanied by military officers, he immediately erupted in earth-shattering applause.
The officers were dressed in crisp uniforms. Shiny leather boots and an armed belt around the waist. It looks even more heroic and magnificent.
The crowd ascended to a simple wooden platform, and the pledge meeting began, and a well-prepared speech was made.
No, in the eyes of the soldiers, this is already not a speech. It's a symphony that moves the heart. Sometimes high and sometimes deep tones, decisive and confident gestures, clear thoughts like bubbling spring water, denounce the rotten anger of the Manchu ****, and the national righteousness like a mountain. Form a majestic melody, like the water of the Yangtze River pouring thousands of miles, unstoppable.
“…… He led 40,000,000 compatriots to gallop through the rain of bullets and bullets against all the reactionaries who prevented us from gaining freedom, independence, and equality, shedding blood and sacrificing without mercy; Washing away the stain of China's centuries-old history, China's reputation has soared in the sky, the revolutionary banner has been marked high in the sky, the Freedom Bell has sounded in Yucheng, and the monument has towered in the high wind. The sky was clear and white, and there was a thunderclap, which startled the sleeping lion for thousands of years and danced...... For the sake of New China, we will march forward bravely, plant the banner of victory all over the land of China, and water the flower of freedom with blood...... Long live the revolutionary army! Long live the Republic of China! Long live the freedom of the 40,000,000 compatriots of the Republic of China! ”
Long live the revolutionary army......
Long live the Republic of China......
Long live the freedom of the 40,000,000 compatriots of the Republic of China......
………
Tears, flowing wantonly, no one cares; cheers, bursting from the chest with all his might, without the slightest reservation; In this era, although it is dark, there is never a shortage of hot-blooded youth, and Song Fuhua warmed up their blood again, 50 degrees, 80 degrees, 100 degrees, boiling and tumbling......
Guangzhou, as usual, is lively and noisy, and under the drastic reform and new policy, it is showing more and more signs of prosperity. But no one knows that when the sun rises again tomorrow, the historic city will have an incomparably bright day.
There will be no fierce fighting, not even any artillery smoke, only armed police will be needed to easily recover the famous city of Guangzhou.
Chen Wenqiang gently turned his wine glass and listened to Li Zhun who came back from the sea patrol to talk about his experience and harvest. Now, Li Zhun can no longer be called a threat, not only is most of the sailors already controlled by Chen Wenqiang's money and the people he sent, but he also has a killer weapon that can completely subdue Li Zhun.
"Speaking of which, the warship is still not big enough, and there are still many difficulties in long-range cruise." Li Zhun shook his head regretfully, and said in a low voice: "The imperial court is meddling in the navy again, and the old qualified Sa Zhenbing is only ranked fourth, how can the one who is above him understand the navy?" ”
"It's just an incompetent son." Chen Wenqiang said lightly: "Manchurian people only look at intimacy and don't look at talent, and they will be finished." ”
Li Zhun glanced at Chen Wenqiang and kindly reminded: "Although the imperial court can't help you now, you still have to be cautious!" How prominent Yuan Gongbao's power was, in the end, it was not a vacancy to return home. ”
"To be a loyal dog, naturally." Chen Wenqiang sneered, "But I won't let the court pinch and flatten, even that Yuan Shikai may not be loyal to the Qing court in his heart, and when the mountains rise again, the Qing court will die at his hands." ”
Li Zhun stared at Chen Wenqiang with shock and suspicion, and asked hesitantly: "I know that you have a wide range of contacts, do you also have a deep relationship with Yuan Gongbao?" ”
"It's not possible to talk about deep friendships. I just know his mind. Chen Wenqiang pondered for a while and said: "You and I have been friends for several years, and today I will treat you as a friend, so I won't hide it from you." I am a senior leader of the Revolutionary Party and a senior leader of the Revival Society, and I will raise the banner of rebellion tonight. Liberate Guangzhou. ”
With a snap, Li Zhun's chopsticks fell on the table, his hand stopped in the air for a long time before retracting, he looked at Chen Wenqiang incredulously, smiled ugly, and said: "Wenqiang, don't be kidding, it scared me." ”
"No kidding." Chen Wenqiang slapped his face vigorously, and a young man pushed the door in.
"Qing'er." Li Zhun originally glanced at it very casually. His eyes could no longer be separated, his eyes widened, and he looked at the young man in disbelief.
That's right, this young officer is Li Guoqing, the son of Li Zhun who was sent to the United States to study, and he never dreamed that his son would suddenly appear in front of him.
Chen Wenqiang nodded to Li Guoqing with a smile and stretched out his finger to point at Li Zhun.
Li Guoqing understood and bowed to Li Zhun to the end. He said, "Father, the child has joined the Revival. Determined to participate in the revolution, overthrow the decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty, and build a prosperous and powerful Republic of China. ”
"You-" Li Zhun was dumbfounded, his brain thud, and he was a little dizzy.
Chen Wenqiang stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Guoqing to sit down, pausing. waited for Li Zhun to seem to come back to his senses, and then slowly spoke: "Brother Li, you are a smart person, now that the lid has been lifted, I believe you have a plan in your heart." It was a martyrdom for the extremely corrupt regime of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Be a good slave who has been stinking for thousands of years; Or a counterattack and start a new page of your life. You have inspected Xisha several times, erected stone monuments, declared sovereignty, and have been meritorious to the country and the people. However, with an incompetent court like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the islands and reefs you have won back will be sold out sooner or later. Taiwan and Penghu are examples of this, and I hope you will think carefully and not make mistakes again and again. ”
Li Zhun knew in his heart that Chen Wenqiang dared to tell him bluntly, and he must have made a good arrangement. If he doesn't agree, I'm afraid his life will not be guaranteed. He blinked his eyes slowly, and did not refute Chen Wenqiang's words, indicating that he still didn't want to die. He sat in his chair, frowning, engaged in a fierce battle of ideas.
With Chen Wenqiang's current strength, it is a sudden attack, in addition to the fact that there will be battles in the city, it should be very certain to take Guangzhou. Li Zhun understood this. What's even more terrifying is Wu Luzhen, the land governor of the Eastern Front, who is estimated to support and respond to Chen Wenqiang nine times out of ten. As soon as the mouth is opened, the revolutionary party in the southwest can drive straight into Guangdong, who can resist it?
"If Brother Li is in a difficult situation, he can also stand by and watch, or go to Hong Kong for a while, and wait for the situation to be clear." Chen Wenqiang persuaded on the side, then turned to Li Guoqing and said, "National Day, are you okay with your father?" ”
"No, I'm staying." Li Guoqing shook his head resolutely.
Li Zhun glanced up at his son, sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen is already winning, I understand and am very grateful if you can give me a chance." Well, I'll stay here and be at my disposal. ”
Wise man! Of course, Chen Wenqiang knew that Li Zhun was a euphemism for surrender, and staying was also reassuring to him, because this place was already under Chen Wenqiang's complete control, and he didn't go to the ship, but just gave orders when needed, so naturally there was no threat.
"Brother Li is righteous." Chen Wenqiang smiled, stretched out his hand to carry the pot, personally poured wine for Li Zhun and Li Guoqing, and said: "The victory is in hand, it's not too much." Although there may be some minor twists and turns, there is still seven or eight points of certainty that the revolution will succeed. So, Brother Li's choice is right. Come, Brother Li, on National Day, raise a glass together, and in order to wish the revolution success, let's have a toast first. ”

Guangzhou, sleeping quietly in the night.
"Smack! Syllable! ......" After a moment of silence with the sudden sound of several gunshots, the trumpet whistled and whistled, followed by a dense burst of gunfire and explosions.
The patrol took control of the telegraph office, the governor's palace, the city gates, etc., while the armed police secretly entered the city and launched a sudden and fierce attack on the city.
Bullets screamed and flew in the air, and the inner city of Guangzhou, which was full of people, was shrouded in the flames of war. The armed police are well-equipped, and they are not inferior to the regular army, and they have passed the test of clearing the township and suppressing bandits.
Although the Maxim machine gun was heavy and not easy to maneuver, its shock power was definitely more powerful than it was lethal, and the tongues of fire rolled through it, emitting a dull and heart-wrenching sound of mechanical fire. Such a dense heavy firepower, the debris splashed all over the city wall, and the whistling of bullets was endless, so that the flag soldiers did not dare to raise their heads at all, and they were frightened.
The Governor's Mansion was taken, and Yuan Shuxun, the governor of Liangguang, was captured alive. Everywhere was easily successful, only the general of Guangzhou still commanded the banner soldiers to resist stubbornly in the corners of the city, and the final battle was carried out here, and victory was close at hand.
Guangzhou General Zengqi had a pale face, shook his hands, and had completely lost his mind, staring at the messenger sent by Li Zhun, the admiral of the navy.
The fire is fierce! Zengqi's face showed a trace of misery, listening to the sound of guns and cannons outside, the anti-party not only had many people, but also had no less than a dozen machine guns. The flag soldiers, hehe, can only scare the people, and even the former patrol battalion is stronger than them. It's a pity, I'm used to being a good person, can surrender have a good end?
"Master Li and Master Chen jointly guarantee, what else are you worried about?" The messenger was disdainful in his heart, but he still patiently persuaded: "If you continue to resist, the city will be broken, and it will be a river of blood!" If the general doesn't think about his own net worth, doesn't he care about the lives of thousands of people in this city? ”
Zeng Qi's face changed, he knew that even if he held on, there was no hope at all, it was just more people to die. He was really moved by the messenger's promise to protect the lives of the Manchurians, and he and the bannermen in the city had long since lost the martial arts of their ancestors.
……………
At the Huangsha Railway Station in Guangzhou, Chen Wenqiang did not wait for the news of the final victory, but boarded the train under the protection of the guards, and He Sui led a new army into the carriage. The whistle blew, and the long train slowly pulled out of the station and whistled north.
Chen Wenqiang did not need to be in command to take Guangzhou, and if the armed police could not capture the city, there would be the new army and Wu Luzhen who came by boat.
The movement and change of guard of the new army on the Eastern Front was sudden and secret, and some of them rushed to Guangzhou by boat, and some of them went north to Wuzhou and Hezhou, blocking the eastward advance of the Fifth Town of Beiyang.
The two mixed associations of the Southwest Revolutionary Army also boarded ships from Qinzhou and Fangcheng, went to Guangzhou to rendezvous, accepted the command of Wu Luzhen, and then went north along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway to fight a decisive battle with the Beiyang Army on the Yangtze River.
Launched, launched.
No one would have imagined that the situation in China would suddenly reverse, and that the revolution would be launched so quickly.
Go to Changsha first, solve Jiang Mingjing, and control the new army; Then he entered Hubei, subdued Li Yuanhong in Wuchang, and played the banner of revolution......
Amid the monotonous and regular vibration of the train wheels, Chen Wenqiang closed his eyes slightly, thinking about the steps of action and the unexpected situations he might encounter.
