(1st Update)

The speed of the "independence" of the three provinces exceeded everyone's expectations, and in less than 18 hours, half of the southeast was lost, and all of them were heavy tax places. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Where the rebel army went, the local government offices opened their doors one after another to welcome the surrender, and they took these places almost effortlessly. It's like something that was agreed upon.

At 14 p.m. on October 10, Qianqing Palace.

Hearing the news of the rebellion, the regent Zaifeng was almost in a mess, he didn't expect that the "revolutionary party move" would come so quickly, and the three people in front of him, Zai Ze, Zaitao, and Yu Lang knelt on the ground, and the air in the hall was extremely depressing.

In just an hour, Zhejiang was also lost, and Tang Shouqian was embraced as the governor of Zhejiang, and at the same time, the rebel army was converging, and the military governments of Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Anhui were about to come out.

Throughout the uprisings in these places, the main forces were all the New Army, the Ninth Town, the Thirty-Seven Towns, and the Twenty-first Towns of Hangzhou, and except for the newly established Thirty-Seven Towns, the revolutionaries in the other two towns had been infiltrated for a long time.

"The minister has long said that the new army is unusable!" Yu Lang's head slammed to the ground.

"Now is not the time to be overwhelmed!" Zaifeng yelled and said to the people below: "Which of you is going to quell the chaos? ”

No one squeaked.

Zaifeng slammed the table, stood up, and said angrily: "It's a shame that you two are still the leaders of the Praetorian Guard, how did you become shrunken turtles one by one!" ”

"Zaitao?" Zaifeng looked at his third brother.

Zaitao was suddenly frightened, his face was pale, and he said the famous sentence in a panic.

"The younger brother can only train soldiers, not fight." Then he slammed his head to the ground.

Zai Feng angrily pushed all the books on the table to the ground, pointed at Zai Tao, his body trembled vigorously, and he still didn't scold after all.

Half a day later, he exhaled slowly, and then said: "It would be good if the minister was here, it would be too late for this king to regret it..."

"Regent, the minister is willing to lead the troops south to quell the chaos." A voice suddenly appeared below, and the person who spoke was Yu Lang.

Just when the clouds were gloomy, Zaifeng finally heard a good news and hurriedly said: "Okay, good!" Yu Lang, what do you want? ”

"As long as the Praetorian Guards of the three towns are prepared, the grain and grass are sufficient, the railway is dredged, and within a month, Jiangning will be attacked!" Yu Lang said boldly.

"Good! This king will appoint you as the chief officer of the three towns of the Praetorian Guard, and you will go south this time to quell the chaos, and you must clean up all the rebels! ”

"Yes!"

.....

Zaifeng's hope was in stark contrast to reality, that night, the Wuchang incident, the Hubei New Army revolted again, and in less than five days, most of the three towns were lost.

In the past half a month, the Praetorian Guards have been preparing for half a month, and uprisings have broken out in various provinces, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi... Many southern provinces have been completely returned to the enemy.

In this process, it is quite interesting that the uprisings in various places have not been met with any decent resistance, the revolutionary army has attacked the city and uprooted the city, and there is no disadvantage, except that the old army has long been purged in the previous reform movement, and the military resistance is almost zero, and there is a more important reason that the rebel army has appeared everywhere, and countless leading parties have emerged overnight, opening the door to welcome the surrender, and eating pot pulp, and these people who surrender to the city are often in important positions.

As far as the eye can see, the Empire State Building has become more and more oblique....

On 27 October, the Praetorian Guards, whose last hope had been pinned on by the Qing Dynasty, finished their rectification and took a train south along the Jinghan Railway to first pacify the rebels in Wuhan, and then went down the river to directly capture Jiangning, adding up to more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the three towns, far surpassing the new armies in various places in terms of strength and equipment.

If these two places are taken, the plan to quell the chaos will usher in a fundamental reversal.

Not only Yulang thinks so, Zaifeng thinks so, but dozens of clan ministers up and down the Qing court also think so.

The train runs all the way south, and the whining echoes between the mountains and rivers.

At 7 p.m. on the evening of 28 July, 50 kilometers away from the three towns of Wuhan, the train suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?"

The sound of the train's emergency braking tore through the silence of the two lakes at night, and the huge forward inertia almost didn't let Yu Lang fall to the ground, and after straightening his body, he hurriedly got off the train to inspect.

"Baylor, no! Oh no! ”

A cronie ran up and reported in a hurry: "Those soldiers stopped the train and said nothing and didn't go any further." ”

"What!?"

Yu Lang was taken aback, "Are they going to mutiny!?" ”

The Qing Dynasty is in danger, and at this time you can't drop the chain, after thinking about it for a while, Yu Lang suppressed his anger and hurriedly sent someone to negotiate, but the reply he got was "The Praetorian Guard only listens to the good commander"

Yu Lang found that he, the chief military officer of the Three Towns, couldn't move a single soldier at all.

After a while, several Praetorian Guard officers walked towards Yu Lang, dressed in the uniform of the assistant commander, followed by a large group of soldiers.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Lang looked at the guards behind him, his eyes suddenly became alert, and he said, "Do you want to mutiny!?" ”

Yu Lang recognized the person, and the first was Yang Yuting, the co-commander of the second town, who can be civil and martial, and has always been submissive, why today....

"Lang Beiler's words really chilled the general's heart, I am here to protect Beile, hey, I don't know who spread the rumor, saying that Liang Dashuai was framed and dismissed by you, and they all said that they would kill you to comfort Dashuai, so..."

Protection? Or, house arrest?

"Come on, circle Lord Belle, if there is a slight mistake, I will try to ask you!"

"Yes!"

Yang Yuting lit a cigarette, looked to the north, and after a long time, exhaled a thick puff of smoke.

"A handsome is a handsome"

......

When the news of Yu Lang's detention spread back to Beijing, the entire Qing court suddenly fell into an unprecedented panic, and Zaifeng was even more at a loss.

He hurriedly sent the second road to quell the rebellion to the south, which was the 136th town of the original Beiyang Army.

The sixth town of Lan Tianwei did not take a step, that is, led the people to revolt, the next day the army entered Shenyang City, was supported by his subordinates as the governor of the three eastern provinces, the former governor of the three eastern provinces Zhao Erxun fled in a hurry.

On November 2, Wu Luzhen, the commander of the first town of the Beiyang Army, revolted in Shanxi, and three days later, the whole territory of Shanxi declared "independence", while the third town was ordered to go south and went to the area of Luanzhou, Zhili. It was called "Luanzhou Soldiers"

On November 5, Sun Baoqi, the governor of Shandong, declared "independence" and was proclaimed governor of the Shandong military government.

On 7 November, Sun Wen, the "first rebel" of the Qing court after 16 years of absence from the mainland, arrived in Shanghai, and two days later, he arrived in Jiangning by train.

"Come quickly, Xuan Liangqing!"

On the same day, Zaifeng, who learned the news, shouted anxiously in the Chongde Palace. (To be continued.) )
