802 Recognition
The so-called revolutionary army, ninety out of nine, is the previous Great Fresh Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Some troops may have infiltrated revolutionaries, and after joining the revolutionary party, these revolutionaries became the chief officers. Obviously, these revolutionary party officers did not have a very high status in the previous army, and their ability and prestige were not enough to convince the public, so when the Wuchang Uprising occurred, the revolutionaries arrested the deputy commander of the Central China New Army to be the commander-in-chief.
In fact, some units of the revolutionary army had nothing to do with the revolutionary party at all, and belonged to or were coerced in, or the commanders themselves took the initiative to invest, but their loyalty needs to be marked with a big question mark.
The same was true of Fuzhou, where about 20,000 new troops "abandoned darkness and turned to light" and became revolutionary troops. The revolutionary party also obviously understood the importance of military power, so it asked a member of the revolutionary party who knew a little about military affairs to be the head of the Fujian army. However, most of these revolutionary parties do not know soldiers, and even if they claim to be familiar with military books and the progress of the latest military theories, it is estimated that they are not even half a bottle of water, and they are at the level of the general staff keyboard warriors on the Internet in later generations, and it is not even enough to say that they are enthusiasts.
These people are also far away from the grassroots troops, and they also have a traditional tendency of literati to light the military, so they cannot talk about controlling the army at all.
The Datang Navy is just a few warships that fired a few cannons casually, and the army here mutinied. Most of the officers were reluctant to fight with the Tang Army, and the sense of honor was worthless to them, and fighting with the Tang Army for the past twenty years had been a chore. It's certain that you can't win, and it's really unwise to lose your life. Many people are willing to follow the revolutionary party, mainly to see if there is a future or something. But it is obviously impossible to really live and die for the revolutionary party.
So as soon as Tang Jun came, these people's minds immediately changed, and they were determined to set things right. Not only did the barracks and the port wharf display white flags, but several officers also led people to rush into the provincial government, where the sign was still very freshly painted, and arrested the revolutionaries inside.
In the end, the Fourth Brigade of the Army did not fire a single shot, and entered and occupied Fuzhou City with tears and laughter, and planted the banner of Datang at the head of the city. And the original more than 20,000 revolutionary troops also changed their masters again. In less than 20 days, this group of people first became the Qing army, then the revolutionary army, and then the Tang army.
In fact, the revolutionary party's influence in Fujian Province was confined to one place, and there were almost no people in the other prefectures, and in Fuzhou they were far from being able to claim control. After the Tang army entered the city, they searched and arrested the revolutionaries, but because they came relatively suddenly, the revolutionaries were unprepared, and most of them became prisoners.
When a young revolutionary was pushed out of the mansion they had just stolen from a wealthy merchant, he righteously rebuked the Tang soldiers: "Invaders, you will not end well!" ”
The soldier asked him, "Where are you from?" ”
The young revolutionary paused for a moment and said, "Jiangxi people." ”
The soldier pushed him hard, and scolded in a southern Fujian accent: "The invader who went to Nima, Lao Tzu is from Fuzhou, he was born on this street since he was a child, you call Lao Tzu an invader?" Rotten boy! ”
The revolutionary still argued: "You are taking refuge in a foreign enemy and turning your back on your ancestors!" ”
The soldier snorted and said, "They are all of the same language, the same species, and the same clan, not that you can count by buttoning your hats indiscriminately." It's useless to talk to you more, a group of chaotic parties with unclear brains will make trouble if they don't have fart skills. ”
At this time, the red-faced revolutionary found that there were locals pointing and watching on the street, and he immediately felt pride and said impassionedly: "Compatriots of Fuzhou, our country is about to be occupied by this group of foreign invaders, and we have just been liberated from the rule of the Manchu Tartars, so will we become slaves of the Tang people again?" Wake up, compatriots, and fight against this shameful group of invaders for the establishment of a new federation! Long live the revolution! ”
But no matter how hard he screamed, how emotional, and hoarse, the people in the street looked at him like a clown. For the people of Fuzhou, they have a deeper understanding of Datang than other regions. Fujian and Guangdong provinces are the traditional hometowns of overseas Chinese, and millions of people have crossed the ocean from their hometowns to live in the Tang Dynasty over the years. Many of these people go back to their hometowns to visit relatives and worship their ancestors, and almost every Fuzhou family will have one or two relatives in Datang. What's going on in the Tang Dynasty, what is the life of the Tang people, and the aspect of national identity, I'm afraid there is no place that understands it better than the locals.
A month ago, 99 percent of the people had never heard of any revolutionary party, and after the Qing court fell, the people of Fujian thought that they were going to become Tang people, and as a result, this group of revolutionaries came out to make trouble. They can't do anything in terms of means and capabilities, and they don't even have a complete and conclusive program. After 20 days as a politician in Fuzhou, he basically did not do anything serious. On the first day, making appointments with wealthy Fuzhou households in the hope that they would support the revolution was actually extorting funds. When the functions of the public security yamen collapsed, they did not want to stabilize public security, and they also recruited people everywhere, which was almost like bandits. How could the people of Fuzhou have the slightest affection for these revolutionary parties?
Any revolution needs soil, and the flame of revolution needs to be burned with fuel. For many Qing people, life is not good, but the so-called tail of the prosperous Kangqian era, coupled with the gradual modernization of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, there is not much dissatisfaction brewing in society. The people had no anger towards the Qing court, and there was no resistance to the Tang people. The only thing they don't like is the people who mess up their normal lives.
In the north, the Boxers were the Boxers, and in the south it was obviously the revolutionary party. Everyone is living a good life, even if you are poor, you come to make trouble and fight, and you also lure the Tang people out, isn't this a big death?
The people have basic trust in the Tang Army, and the Tang Army's fine style of not taking a stitch from the people in Jiangnan and other places has been widely spread. There is evidence for pressing other people's crops to give compensation, and demolishing other people's houses to build new ones. The Tang army did not loot or make trouble, and tried its best to maintain local peace, and the Tang people were fair and kind, which was widely recognized by the people.
Fuzhou people have several relatives of Datang, and relatively speaking, they are relatively enthusiastic about joining Datang. Therefore, the revolutionary party was put in a pot, and the Tang people came out to preside over the situation, which they were happy to see.
Therefore, even if the revolutionaries shouted and complained in tears on the street, everyone should watch a monkey show. What he said, the people did not empathize. Compared with the Boxers, there were many intellectuals in the revolutionary party. But they are detached from the basic needs of the masses, and the consensus they have gathered is only radical and narrow nationalism, and even traditional and decadent ideas. What cannot be concealed is that this group of people actually has a strong sense of interest, and in essence engaging in revolution is speculation. (To be continued.) )
