284: The resurgence of the two Guangzhous
On the fifth day after the founding of the Chinese Empire, the governor of Liangguang, Deshou, finally couldn't hold on. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The imperial court is gone, the emperor has abdicated, and Deshou's insistence has completely become a bubble, and after many days of hard work, he suddenly found that he never seemed to have played any role.
Although there are still some people in their organization who are unwilling to give up and want to rely on the support of the British to continue to fight against Wang Sirui.
Perhaps, in their opinion, the time they have in control of the Liangguang region is their real advantage, and they can take advantage of some of the current advantages to publicize the cruelty of the Han army among the people and arouse the people's desire to resist.
Although this may not allow them to achieve ultimate success, but in the same way, the Han army should not easily get the Liangguang region, and even if they get it, it will be ruined in one fell swoop.
Those people are even more with the mentality of fighting to the death, they are gambling, gambling that Wang Sirui will not dare to kill all the people.
As long as the British don't give up, then they won't fail, and even if they fail, they can escape to Hong Kong, and at least there is no problem with security.
Although some people are vigorously advocating resistance speeches, the governor of Liangguang Deshou is already disheartened.
Compared with the momentum a few days ago, the current Deshou is more like an old man in the twilight, at the moment when the Qing Emperor announced his abdication, the whole person seemed to be evacuated, and the whole body collapsed there instantly.
During this time, Deshou has been under all the pressure.
There are people from the Han army, some from the British, some from the grassroots people, and some from their own organizations, and the pressure from all sides is all gathered on Deshou alone, which makes Deshou instantly age a lot.
On this day, Deshou finally made the final decision.
The Qing court is no longer there, and the soldiers of the Han army are not something that they can resist.
Therefore, Deshou has completely given up, and now, he just wants to return to his hometown and live the rest of his life in peace.
For those ideas of others, Deshou did not stop them, nor did they pay attention to them, but let them develop.
Deshou sent one of his henchmen to personally carry the letter he wrote to the Han army on the edge of the provincial border.
Although the Han army was busy mobilizing at this time, the northern army had a train to take, so the speed of mobilization was slightly faster, but the southern army did not have a train to use, and they could only rely on their feet to get a little hurry.
In addition, the southern provinces have just been recovered, and the government has not yet had time to be formed, unlike the northern side, which has long been run by the Han army like an iron bucket.
There was no reserve station, which meant that the Fourth Army had to carry its own supplies, which once again delayed their footsteps.
According to current estimates, it would have been good for the Fourth Army to complete its assembly in early February. Even at the end of February, they may not be able to launch the attack as planned.
Regarding the poor traffic situation in the south, Wu Zixuan also struggled with his brains, but it still didn't help.
Of course, the Fourth Army did not have time to deal with Deshou, but Deshou's letter was also not delivered to the Fourth Army.
His cronies did what Deshou asked, but when he crossed the provincial border, he was discovered by some people, and then he was directly executed for the crime of defecting to the enemy, and finally found the letter on his body.
And the person who got this letter was a general who advocated using the British and the people to resist Wang Sirui.
So, that night, the general returned to Canton with part of his troops, and on the third day he arrived in Canton, where he secretly consulted with others who advocated resistance, and finally decided that Deshou must be prevented from surrendering to the enemy.
Finally, on the night of January 10, Deshou, who was just about to sleep, suddenly felt very unwell, even though he was foaming at the mouth and convulsions all over his body, Fuzhong hurriedly called the doctor, but it was difficult to save Deshou.
As soon as Deshou died, the entire Liangguang region was completely chaotic, some advocated peaceful negotiation to solve the problem, and some advocated armed resistance in exchange for autonomy, they wanted the Qing court to restore the country in Liangguang, and then march north little by little to recover the previously lost land.
Those who advocate peace naturally try their best to contact the Han army, but how can those who advocate resistance let them get their wish?
As a result, there was an almost crazy reshuffle within the Manchu relics, and someone was killed almost every day.
And in order to arouse public indignation, those who advocate resistance did not hesitate to splash this basin of dirty water on Wang Sirui's body, the people obviously do not know some of the situation here, although they have also heard of Wang Sirui, and have heard about Wang Sirui's benevolent government, but when they think of the large-scale assassination of officials in Guangzhou, some people feel that Wang Sirui's character is not very good, and he can even do anything for victory.
For a time, the entire Liangguang region was in chaos in an instant, and this situation was obviously not expected by the British, and as time went by, the Liangguang became more and more chaotic, and in the end, the British had to intervene.
Although on the surface, the two regions are calm, but secretly there is a torrent surging, and the forces of all parties are also constantly playing games.
In Xiangjiang, not far from Guangzhou, a passenger ship slowly sailed into the port, and the passengers on it stepped off the passenger ship one after another.
Two men in suits, one tall and one short, gradually disappeared into the crowd with the flow of people, and about an hour later, the two appeared in a very ordinary courtyard, and at this time, a lot of people had gathered in this courtyard.
After seeing the arrival of these two people, he immediately got up to greet them, showing great enthusiasm.
"Sir, you're finally back, and now we have the backbone." A man stood up and said excitedly, apparently, they had not had a good time lately.
"Well, I received a telegram from Yuan Tong and immediately bought a ferry ticket and came back, let's talk about the specific situation first." Zhang Rang frowned and said, obviously, the successive unexpected situations also caught him a little off guard, some of the elders who followed him in the early years to do things (revolution) (life), in the past half a month, a large part of them have gradually withdrawn.
And their reason is that the Qing court has been extinguished, and a new country is being established, and they feel that they need to take a look at Wang Sirui's ruling ideas after he grasps power.
If Wang Sirui is no different from the former Qing Dynasty, then they will return to their old business.
Such remarks affected many talents in the organization, and after the fall of the Qing court, the control of the British over them almost completely disappeared, which also gave them a relatively stable base for those who engaged in careers.
This is also the reason why Zhang Rang did not hesitate to return to Hong Kong from Japan, which is closer to China and more suitable for him to make some decisions.
"Sir, in the past half a month, nearly one-third of our comrades have left us, and most of them are old comrades, and no matter how much we persuade them, we cannot keep them. And this rhetoric is also spreading in the organization, and if measures are not taken to save it, the consequences will be unimaginable. Yuan Tong said with a serious face.
"What about domestic? I heard that there has been chaos in the country? Zhang Rang continued to ask, although the internal affairs are imminent, but the domestic affairs are also very important, they must make good use of this opportunity, if they can win a battle, those old comrades will come back part, and it is more conducive to them to absorb new comrades in.
"It's just that the Liangguang region is in chaos, according to our intelligence, the Manchu remnants are divided into the main and the main battle factions, Deshou seems to have the intention of surrendering, and then he was assassinated by the main battle faction, and then the main battle faction assassinated a lot of people from the main war faction, but the British have intervened, and now the calm has been restored on the surface, but secretly the two sides are still fighting. As for the area controlled by Wang Sirui, it is still relatively stable, and there is no room for us to develop at all, and in just over a month, hundreds of comrades have lost contact with us. Yuan Tong continued.
Zhang Rang frowned tightly, he didn't expect that the northern region would be so tight, and it seemed that his plan could only be completed at a discount.
"Comrades, I know that everyone has some other thoughts in their hearts now, maybe you think that the Qing court is gone, and our motivation to engage in the cause is gone. However, please don't forget, what is the original purpose of our business?
Is it just to overthrow the Qing court? The original intention of our undertaking is to build a republic together, and we are engaged in a cause for nationalism, civil rights, and people's livelihood.
Wang Sirui did overthrow the Qing court, but so what? He still chose to be the emperor himself, and when he became the emperor, that is, he was engaged in dictatorship, and under the dictatorship system, how many people could be happy?
I know that we don't have enough strength to fight against Wang Sirui's Han army, he has millions of troops, and we are still worried about hundreds of rifles, but this is by no means a reason to hinder our career, and our faith will never be trampled on by anyone.
We can't stop Wang Sirui from becoming emperor, but we should work hard and occupy enough chips for ourselves to let our thoughts influence Wang Sirui.
On the way back, I thought about it for a long time, but after thinking about it, we only had one way to go.
Uprising, taking advantage of the chaos between the two Guangzhous, the Han army is being reorganized, and the Fourth Army in charge of Liangguang is not strong enough to control the Liangguang region through the uprising, and then, we are negotiating with Wang Sirui through peaceful negotiations, as long as the Liangguang under our rule exceeds the north, then our cause will be successful.
This time, we can only save the country, so the uprising must be carried out as soon as possible, and this uprising must be victorious, only in this way can our ideas be popularized, so that more people will accept us. ”
PS: I've been thinking about it for a long time, in order to avoid the river crab beast, so I changed the character of that organization, but it doesn't affect the reading, and I hope everyone can understand me. (To be continued.) )
