Night, October 17, 1900. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In Zhenlong, the Provisional Headquarters of the Rebel Army, Zheng Shiliang, Commander of the Rebel Army, Huang Fu, Deputy Commander, and five battalion commanders, Zheng Shize, Huang Xing, Tan Wei, Liu Gensheng, and Shuai Hong, gathered together to hold the first military meeting after the reorganization of the Rebel Army.
"Ladies and gentlemen, three days have passed since the reorganization, and all battalions have also undergone strong training after the reorganization, and here I would like to praise the five battalions by name, because the five battalions, under the leadership and training of the commander of the battalion, have made the appearance of the entire five battalions have been reborn, and initially have the temperament that an army should have,......。
"Of course, the other battalions are also doing well, and it should be said that our rebel army is no longer a rabble, but a revolutionary contingent with faith, discipline, and combat effectiveness,......。
Zheng Shiliang, the commander of the rebel army, first reported on the training after the reorganization, mainly to praise, and the main object of praise was the fifth battalion and the fifth battalion commander Shuai Hong, because Shuai Hong introduced the training method of the Black Dragon Army into the rebel army, and Shuai Hong, as the battalion commander, led by example, and the whole battalion officers and soldiers ate and slept and trained, which made all battalions scramble to follow suit, although it only took two days of training (the reorganization consumed one day), but it does have a trace of the temperament of a modern army, of course, from what Zheng Shiliang said is a force with faith, The revolutionary contingent with discipline and combat effectiveness is still quite far away.
"If you can give us some more time for special training, I believe everyone will do better, but unfortunately, the Qing army has stopped giving us time,......。
"The Qing army in Tamsui, under the leadership of the commander Ma Weich, ten battalions of soldiers and horses have arrived fifty miles away, and He Changqing, the commander of the naval division in the southwest, is personally leading thousands of soldiers and horses to approach our side, and it is only about sixty miles away from Zhenlong, and in the northwest, there is also a Qing army at the junction of Guishan and Dongguan, in addition, in the direction of Guangzhou, there is also a team of more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, approaching us, at present, the distance is about fifty miles."
"In the four directions, He Changqing, the commander of the Qing Army's naval division, and Deng Wanlin, the commander of the army, have joined forces, with a total of more than 20,000 troops, and a large encirclement has formed a large encirclement against us, and this encirclement will shrink smaller and smaller over time, and there will be less room for us to move, so we must start acting."
"Of course, we are not without good news, in Guangzhou, Mr. Sun has instructed Shi Jianru and Deng Yinlan to contact the Hui Party everywhere, ready to cooperate with our actions at any time, in addition, there are many responding revolutionaries in various places, as long as we can successfully break out of this encirclement, then there will be a large number of followers."
"Now, I don't know what you think about our next move, but you can speak freely." Zheng Shiliang said: "Of course, the overall route of the march must be to the west, in the direction of Guangzhou. ”
"Commander Zheng has said very comprehensively, the Qing army is more than 20,000, which is a lot, but in fact it is a paper tiger, the commander of the Qing army in the direction of Guangzhou is the commander Wang Fu, this person climbed up by relying on relationships, and he doesn't understand anything at all, so my opinion is that you should copy the nearest road and fight all the way to Guangzhou immediately." Deputy Commander Huang Fu said bluntly.
"Yes, fight over, fight all the way, and the Qing soldiers who fought were terrified, and lost their armor."
"For the Qing army, the only way is to kill."
……
Shuai Hong sat at the end of the seat, and listened carefully all the time, after all, he was just an ordinary soldier of the special combat team, and he really hadn't participated in a meeting of this specification, so he had always had an attitude of learning, however, when he saw that Zheng Shiliang and Huang Fu just said a general idea, the others followed suit, didn't talk about any strategy, didn't have any plan, and thought about simply fighting over, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Shuai Hongzhen doesn't know whether they are bold and daring, or that the ignorant are fearless, more than 20,000 Qing troops have formed a situation of encirclement, and the rebel army is only more than 3,000 people, so they dare to ignore the existence of the Qing army so much.
"Battalion Commander, I see that you haven't spoken much, I don't know if you have any different ideas?"
The noisy scene finally calmed down, Zheng Shiliang directly asked Shuai Hong, there is no doubt that Shuai Hong can enter the revolutionary army as the spokesperson of the Black Dragon Army, then there must be a few brushes, otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss of the face of the Black Dragon Army?
"Since the commander asked, then I will give my personal opinion." Shuai Hong paused, and then continued: "First of all, I think we should send more investigators to the direction of Guangzhou to investigate the situation, to find out the situation of Wang Fu's department, and to understand the geography and terrain along the way. ”
"Secondly, I think the five battalions of our rebel army should also have their own focus, whether to concentrate their forces all the way west, or to attack Guangzhou separately, if it is concentrated, then there should also be a first, which battalion acts as the vanguard, which battalion is behind, which battalion is the main attack, so that the responsibilities of each battalion are clear, and in the following marching and fighting process, it can also be more effectively combined, so as to exert stronger combat effectiveness."
"That's a good point."
"Indeed it should be."
"I'm for it."
Zheng Shiliang and the others nodded one after another, after all, most of these people have little experience in marching and fighting, everything has to be explored, and groping has to pay a price, although Shuai Hong has no experience in commanding large-scale operations, but compared to these rookies, it can also be called experienced.
Next, Shuai Hong mentioned these two points, and the discussion began, and the final result was that it was better to concentrate troops all the way west as the best policy, after all, the fists should be concentrated, and the fight could exert the greatest power, and Shuai Hong's five battalions, because of the advanced equipment, were also promoted as the forward battalion, in this regard, Shuai Hong does not care, after all, the team still needs a hard battle to be able to temper, stealing chickens and dogs, it is definitely impossible to strengthen the army.
The discussion was very enthusiastic, and before the end of the meeting, Shuai Hong suddenly proposed: "Commander Zheng, there is a problem, I think we should pay a little attention to it." ”
"Oh, Battalion Commander, if you have anything to say, while everyone is here, let's discuss it together." Zheng Shiliang said.
"That's right, as far as I know, there are more than a dozen Dongying people in our rebel army, I wonder if we can invite them back?" Shuai Hong said.
Sun Yat-sen wanted to oppose the Qing court early, and the Dongying people undoubtedly supported it at the beginning, which is the consistent practice of the Dongying people, because they hoped that there would be civil strife in China and continuous wars, because this was the most beneficial for the Dongying, so they had always contributed money and efforts, and the most direct support was the Toei governor Kodama Gentaro from the treasure island, he sent a group of Dongying people to participate in the revolutionary uprising, among which there were many names and surnames, such as Miyazaki Yanzo, Hirayama Zhou, Fukumoto Nari, etc., of course, These people are basically ronins related to the Black Dragon Society, and they can also be called intelligence officers.
Since he is an intelligence officer, and he has no combat experience, plus with the change of the Toei cabinet, Yama Prefecture Youpeng stepped down, and Ito Hirobumi came to power, which led to Kodama Gentaro not supporting the revolutionary army, so what are these ronins doing here, they can't play a role, and they have to be provided like a master, and if they don't do it, they have to command blindly, so it's better to ask them to leave as soon as possible, of course, about this, Yue Weihua mentioned Shuai Hong.
However, it is easy to invite God, but it is difficult to send God, this problem, in fact, after Sun Yat-sen confirmed that the governor of Treasure Island, Kodama Gentaro, had changed his attitude, Zheng Shiliang also thought about it, but he couldn't think of a suitable excuse and reason, after all, Zheng Shiliang really didn't dare to do anything about offending the little devil.
"I also think we should leave, these little devils have been pointing fingers in the team recently, and they are even questioning us about the source of our weapons, interrogating left and right, I'm afraid I don't have any good intentions."
Zheng Shiliang didn't speak, Huang Fu didn't speak, the two of their subordinate battalion commanders naturally didn't speak, and Tan Wei, the commander of the third battalion, as the main gang commander who was elected, was also silent and didn't speak, and the only one who spoke could only be Liu Gensheng, of course, Liu Gensheng was also telling the truth, their battalion was also divided into three little devils, these few days of training, although these three little devils had never made trouble openly, but they were wandering around in the team, pointing and pointing, and acting like a high-minded old man, which really made Liu Gensheng very unhappy.
"Commander, in fact, there is no need to scruple too much about the little devils, don't look at them as if they are helping us, but in fact, the little devils are wolf ambitions and help us, in fact, they just hope that our civil strife in China continues, and they can profit from it, not really want to help us."
"The First Sino-Japanese War, vividly, the Qing court compensated the little devil 200 million taels of silver, and also robbed the treasure island, if it were not for the interests of Russia, France, and Germany, the intervention to return to Liao, I am afraid that the Liaodong Peninsula has also become the territory of the little devil."
"Besides, in the war of aggression against China that just happened, the little devils dispatched 8,000 people, the most of all countries, and the battle charge was at the forefront, treating our Chinese people as ants, killing countless people and looting countless times, so how can they really help our revolutionary army?"
"I can conclude here that as long as our rebel army takes Guangzhou, once it really stabilizes its position, once the Qing army shows its defeat, the powers of various countries, including the little devils, will intervene, and even send troops to contribute, their purpose is to hope that our China will be in a state of war and civil strife, in eternal division, so that our China will always be in a semi-colonial state, which is why they support the revolutionary army." Shuai Hong said bluntly.
Shuai Hong's words, so that the whole venue became quiet, it should be said, including Zheng Shiliang, it is estimated that they have never considered so far-reaching, for the support of the little devil, Zheng Shiliang is grateful, including Sun Yat-sen, he is also grateful, in history, the little devil Yamada Yoshimasa died in the rebel army, Sun Yat-sen also went to Dongying, personally erected a monument for Yamada Yoshimasa, calling him the first person in Dongying who died in the Chinese Revolution.
"Battalion Commander, will you exaggerate what you say?" Zheng Shiliang asked rhetorically with a frown.
"No, Commander, what I said is true, every word can be checked, but there is no half a lie." Shuai Hong said sincerely: "Perhaps, you think that there are just a dozen little devils, even if they stay in the team, it is not a big deal, even if they are supported, it will not cost a few dollars, of course, this is understandable, after all, they did help our rebel army in the early stage, but I still mentioned it, the purpose is to let everyone understand the true intention of the little devils to help us, not to be confused by appearances, and I also hope that everyone can better protect the confidential matters within the revolutionary army to prevent the leakage of secrets." ”
When Shuai Hong said this, he deliberately glanced at Zheng Shiliang, and then continued: "As Battalion Commander Liu said just now, the little devils are listening to the source of our weapons, which are all top secrets, and must not be leaked, once leaked, I am afraid that the source of the weapons will disappear." ”
Shuai Hong's half-reminding and half-threatening words made Zheng Shi's conscience tighten, in fact, there are little devils who often come to his words recently, even soft and hard, and the same is true of other battalions, if it is not for the source of weapons only he and Shuai Hong know, I am afraid it has been leaked at this moment, and if it is just as Shuai Hong said, then once it is leaked, the consequences will be serious, because Shi Jianru of Guangzhou is contacting the party everywhere, and the supply of weapons is also counting on the Black Dragon Army, if what Shuai Hong said is true, once it is leaked, I'm afraid that the Guangzhou Uprising will be declared a failure in advance, but in fact, not only that, but the follow-up weapons supply of the revolutionary rebel army may have to count on the Black Dragon Army.
Thinking of this, Zheng Shiliang finally made up his mind, and then spoke: "I think what the battalion commander said is reasonable, I don't know what you think?" ”
"Commander, wouldn't this offend the little devil too much?" Huang Fu hurriedly said: "Besides, should I ask Mr. Sun for this matter?" ”
As soon as Huang Fu spoke, Zheng Shiliang was a little shaken, but when he saw Shuai Hong, thinking of the mysterious Yue Jimin and the powerful Black Dragon Army, Zheng Shiliang no longer hesitated, and then said bluntly: "I will talk to Mr. Sun about this matter, but I don't think Mr. Sun will object." ”
With the direct support of the Black Dragon Army, it is naturally much stronger to be supported by the little devil with two sides and three swords, and if it weren't for the Black Dragon Army to help at this critical time, the rebel army is only afraid that it is not far from defeat at this moment, so who is more important to the rebel army, don't think about it.
"In that case, I agree." Huang Fu nodded.
"I obey orders."
……
Huang Fu and Zheng Shiliang both nodded, and their descendant battalion commanders Huang Xing and Zheng Shize naturally would not object, not to mention Liu Gensheng and Shuai Hong, and the remaining three battalion commanders, Tan Wei, could only nod in agreement.
"Whew."
After expressing their positions one by one, Shuai Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief, Yue Weihua asked Shuai Hong to propose to remove the little devil from the team so early, originally Shuai Hong was worried that he would not be able to get through, but he didn't expect to encounter any twists and turns, and passed smoothly, which made Shuai Hong really a little surprised, after all, the revolutionaries still admire and appreciate the little devil very much.
However, Zheng Shiliang is still cautious about how to get rid of the little devils, and all his ideas have been rejected, if it is replaced by Shuai Hong, why do you think about it so much, just cut the mess with a quick knife and send them away, but it really doesn't work, and you can pull it all out in secret.
In the end, Zheng Shiliang proposed to slowly isolate these little devils, so that they could feel these alienations, and then they proposed to leave, and then presented gold and silver as a token of gratitude.
In this regard, Shuai Hong felt very helpless, but the goal was achieved, and once the little devils were alienated and isolated, I am afraid that these little devils would definitely make trouble, and when the time came, the true colors of the little devils would also be exposed, so that the rebels and the little devils would go farther and farther away, and it could be regarded as achieving Yue Weihua's expected goal.
