288: I'll tell you what madness is

"What? The Han army has already broken through Shaoguan? Zhang Rang was taken aback. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

How long has it been since they revolted? In less than ten hours, the Han army had already broken through Shaoguan.

For Zhang Rang, Shaoguan was not just a small county town, it was a military town, and Deshou had deployed an army of nearly 20,000 people there to defend against the Han army.

If the Han army wants to break through Shaoguan, even if the 20,000 people stand there and let them kill, it will take more than half a day.

Plus the news of the uprising reached there, and the Han army was making a decision, how could it be so fast?

According to Zhang Rang's feeling, the Han army should not act until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. And these cause parties have a large amount of arms and occupy an absolute advantage.

By the time the Han army reached Guangzhou, they had already occupied the whole of Guangzhou.

But the Han army has now broken through Shaoguan, what does this mean? No one knows better than Zhang Rang, which means that the Han army has already had a plan to march into Liangguang, although he is ahead of them, but what is the use of having more time and a half?

No, I definitely can't just give up, I'm not reconciled.

The Han army, Guangzhou, yes, Guangzhou is in my hands, as long as I occupy Guangzhou, the Han army will have nothing to do with me, when the time comes, our cause party is a hero, and there is a merit in dedicating the city, doesn't Wang Sirui like to pay attention to equality? When the time comes, I'm not afraid that he won't reason with me.

"Quick, send a telegram to Hong Kong, let that side immediately send someone to Shanghai by boat, and use the telegraph office there to telegraph the whole country We have successfully revolted and completely occupied Guangzhou, I hope the empire can send someone to receive it." Zhang Rang said a little frantically, then shook his head, and said again: "The telegraph office in Guangzhou has also sent a telegram, and we must announce our thoughts to the public." ”

There is no telegraph line from Guangzhou to Shanghai, nor to other provinces, but there is a telegraph line to Hong Kong, and as long as this telegram can reach Hong Kong, then it will basically be regarded as a telegraph to the whole country, and as long as a few days later, this telegram will be known to the whole country.

Unless Wang Sirui dares to risk the world's greatness and make dangerous moves, but according to their understanding of Wang Sirui, he should not do this.

It's just that what Zhang Rang didn't expect was that a few hours before his telegram was issued, Wang Sirui had already sent out a nationwide telegram.

In short, Wang Sirui made use of the high technology under his command to announce the contents of the reunification agreement to the public in just over an hour, although it is not known to the whole people, but at least it is known to all the provincial governments, and they are also starting propaganda work to celebrate the recovery of the two provinces.

As for Zhang Rang's telegram, it was actually sent from the Shanghai Telegraph Office two days later. It's just that the power was not sent.

However, the two Guangxi regions basically knew about this matter.

After all, the distance is closest, and the city gate has not yet been controlled by the cause party, and a large number of people in the city have taken refuge in the city, and the news has spread a little frighteningly, and in just half a day, it has almost spread all over the radius of hundreds of miles.

After Zhang Rang's telegram was sent, the shadows in Guangzhou also used wireless telegraphy to relay the news to the capital.

And after Wang Sirui read the news, he directly tore the telegram to shreds.

Since he had already decided to do so, it would be good for him to pretend that he didn't know anything until the troops arrived in Guangzhou. As the saying goes, the more you know, the more unsafe it becomes...... Well, that doesn't seem appropriate.

However, just a few hours later, Zhang Rang once again received a message that he would never forget.

The Han army has already broken through Yingde, and it is only a little more than 100 kilometers away from Guangzhou at this moment, and according to the speed of the Han army's march, the Han army will appear outside Guangzhou by the morning after tomorrow at the latest.

"Pigs, are they all pigs? Don't you know how to resist? Zhang Rang roared angrily.

The rapid advance of the Han army put a lot of pressure on Zhang Rang.

Although Zhang Rang gathered 80 percent of the cause party members in the south this time, the total number was only more than 1,000 people, and the rebellion against the army, even one army, did not succeed in plotting a rebellion, but folded in a few comrades.

Zhang Rang, who was already angry, was speechless at the moment and asked Qingtian.

What would have been the consequences if the Cause Party had not completely occupied Guangzhou before the Han army arrived in Guangzhou?

Zhang Rang didn't even dare to imagine the consequences, the cowhide had already been blown out, if the Han army came to take a look, ho, good guy, only occupied one arsenal and dared to say that it occupied the entire Guangzhou, and dared to make a request for this ability?

"Sir, the Qing army did not resist at all, it is said that they resisted a little in Shaoguan, but in less than half an hour, they were defeated by less than 10,000 Han troops, and thousands of corpses were left behind, and the remaining more than 10,000 Qing troops surrendered directly, and some fled back. After knowing the news, the defenders on the Yingde side had already fled without a trace, and the Han army was like no one, and did not encounter any resistance at all. The messenger said with a dejected expression.

Even now he has begun to doubt whether his choice is the right one, he has abandoned everything for his faith, even his family, but now what has he gained?

All day long, like a mouse, hiding in Tibet, not seeing the light of day. And now that his career has finally improved, the Han army on the opposite side has come out to dismantle the stage.

It was clear to everyone that they were no match for the Han army.

Most of them are people who live in China, and they have lived in China for at least a year or two, and they have been to the north quite a few times, and they have seen what the north is really like.

Despite the different positions, the development of the north and Wang Sirui's governance phalanx have won the hearts of the people.

This is also the reason why those patriarchs chose to quit, they fought for the country, for the nation.

Now that they see that the country has become stronger, and the nation has straightened up, they are not willing to do those things that distract the country.

Most of the people who stay are unwilling, they can give up everything for their faith, but they must not abandon their honor, and their efforts must be rewarded, even if it is only a nominal return.

Originally, they were convinced that as long as they took Guangzhou, they could go home with honor, and they could even enter the government and occupy a place.

Only now, they are starting to get suspicious.

This business seems to have changed its flavor.

The people at the top only know how to go crazy and only know how to give orders, but once the fight starts, they are as timid as rats, and they only know how to hide behind.

Those who are dead are those who believe in the faith, who are alive, who are always calculating.

Zhang Rang's madness made this comrade begin to reflect, and for the first time felt that he seemed to have gone far, far on a wrong path.

"Waste, all waste." Zhang Rang continued to roar wildly, and I don't know how long it took for Zhang Rang to finally calm down.

He carefully calculated for half a month, but let a small move of the Han army force a dead end, how can Zhang Rang not go crazy?

But he is unwilling, he is unwilling to fail like this, and he is even more unwilling to lose the power in his hands like this, to fight back, he must fight back, and he must completely occupy Guangzhou before the Han army comes to the city, and earn enough chips for himself.

"Let everyone go out, carry heavy machine guns, and kill anyone who dares to resist. By noon tomorrow, the whole of Canton must be occupied. Zhang Rang frantically ordered.

He didn't care about the number of casualties, and he didn't have the energy to care about them anymore, he only knew that if he couldn't occupy this place before the Han army arrived in Guangzhou, then the rest of his life would be miserable.

In the eyes of those brainwashed young people, Zhang Rang is their spiritual pillar, Zhang Rang is their leader, Zhang Rang can give up everything for the sake of the country and the nation, then they can do the same.

But in Zhang Rang's heart, he knew very well what he wanted?

Why does Zhang Rang want to have a career? The answer is only two words, power!

He wants power, and whatever his intentions are, the ultimate answer is the word power.

More than ten years ago, Zhang Rang once went to Li Hongzhang to recommend himself and promote his ideals. But Li Hongzhang felt that Zhang Rang's mouth was full of cannons, but he had no skills, so he refused Zhang Rang's refuge.

Later, Zhang Rang went again, but was still rejected by Li Hongzhang, and even the matter was reported to other local officials.

Those officials think that even Li Hongzhang thinks that Zhang Rang is a person with a mouth full of cannons, so do they dare to accept it? No one wants to give Zhang Rang a chance to be an official.

Zhang Rang felt desperate for this, and later, Zhang Rang started his career.

In other words, if Li Hongzhang gave Zhang Rang this opportunity, then the current Zhang Rang must be a good slave of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

But Li Hongzhang didn't give him this opportunity, so Zhang Rang became a person who engaged in a career, and with a mouth, he became their leader.

It's just that the leader at this moment has made the people around him feel a little disappointed.

"Sir, we now have less than seven hundred people left, and we don't have the ability to attack at all." Zhang Rang's number one admirer, Yuan Tong, couldn't help but persuade him that he was already a little disappointed in Zhang Rang, but he still hoped that Zhang Rang would come to his senses and face up to his problems.

"The power of the cause is infinite, our faith is fearless, what's wrong with the small number of people? At the time of the uprising last night, we were at a disadvantage in numbers, and now we have guns, and heavy machine guns, and we have the spirit to arm ourselves, the knowledge to arm ourselves, and the equipment to arm ourselves, what else do we have to fear? Have you forgotten the reasons for the failure of the previous uprising? It's because of the timidity of some people that we fail, do you want to experience a failure? Attack, must attack ......"
