"The Manchu Qing Dynasty has no way, originated between the white mountains and black waters, and has been blessed by my China for generations, so it has grown. His people are ignorant and barbaric, do not want to repay their kindness, but set up their own country, invade the land of China, wantonly kill, shave their hair and change their banners, and the corrupt rule of more than 200 years has led to the weakness of China's national strength, the poverty of the people, the repeated invasion of foreign enemies, the reparation of land, and the loss of the country! Today, the National Assembly of the People's Republic of China revolted in Heyuan, Guangdong, and established the Heyuan Provisional Government, determined to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establish a strong and prosperous New China! If the Manchu Qing Dynasty does not abdicate and reflect, the provisional government will sweep the Central Plains with the power of thunder and rebuild the orthodoxy of the nation! I hope that people with lofty ideals will see the reactionary features of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and contribute to the establishment of New China! Heyuan Provisional Government, the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu. ”

Through the cable telegraph network, the electricity was quickly transmitted to the telegraph offices in the country. In addition, Lu Liang sent people to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, and other places to secretly deliver the telegram to newspapers in various places. The telegraph office staff and newspaper editors who received the telegram thought it was a joke, and they had all heard about the revolutionary party in Guangdong, but it was a big deal to launch an armed uprising and successfully occupy the county seat. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper immediately contacted the government, and after two days of communication and verification, it was finally determined that a revolutionary riot had occurred in Heyuan, Guangdong. Surprised, the newspaper immediately reported the incident of the Heyuan uprising and published the uprising in its entirety. At this time, the imperial court remembered to suppress the news, but it was too late, and the whole southern country knew about the revolutionary uprising.

"Smack!" The governor of Guangdong, Deshou, lowered his head and looked at Tao Mo, the governor of Liangguang, out of the corner of his eyes, and was furious. Deshou was also surprised to get the news of the Heyuan riot, Guangdong has not been so stable for many years, there is no war except for the foreign people, and the things of the foreigners are also decades ago. The Changmao Rebellion did not affect Guangdong, and the sporadic revolutionary riots were quickly suppressed, and Liangguang was originally a blessed land for officials, as long as they worked hard to make money, they did not expect that the revolutionary party that appeared out of nowhere would destroy the overall situation. Now is the time when the imperial court is concentrating on negotiating with foreigners, and there must be no chaos in the local area, otherwise it will interfere with the overall situation of the imperial court, which is a political mistake, which is also the reason why Tao Mo, the governor of Liangguang, is angry.

Deshou felt a little pity for this old man, who had climbed in the officialdom all his life, and finally took advantage of Li Hongzhang's northward presiding over the overall situation, and Lu Chuanlin's meritorious rescue as the governor of Liangguang for only a few days, and then he was transferred to Beijing as the minister of state to wipe his ass for the imperial court. Deshou was a famous banner man, and when Li Hongzhang was no longer there, he was acting governor for a few days, and he also looked forward to ascending the throne of the governor, but unfortunately it didn't work out, so he let the pottery mold climb up. should also be glad that he did not become the governor of Liangguang, otherwise he would have to take over this mess by himself. The officialdom understands very well that this matter can be covered up, and now if it can't be covered, it must be resolutely suppressed. But the question is what to suppress? The patrol battalion, the green battalion, and the coastal defense battalion have no combat effectiveness, and it is no problem to bully the common people, but they have to lie down when they really go into battle.

"What is this Zhenguo, why have you never heard of it before?" The pottery model is very good at cultivating nature, and it will calm down in less than ten minutes, and it may be that people are too old to withstand the toss.

"My lord, I haven't heard of this organization before, it should be new. In the past, there were several revolutionary party riots in Guangdong, but they were all detected by us in a state of preparation, and the source was the so-called Xingzhonghui, which was organized by Sun Yat-sen, a native of Xiangshan. "Deshou has been in Guangzhou for many years and is very well-informed, but he is also confused about Zhenguo, and he has to give him advice after seeing Tao Mo's jokes, if the riot cannot be suppressed immediately, he has no good fruit to eat, and the two of them are grasshoppers on a rope.

"If the situation is unclear, send personnel to investigate, even if you send troops to suppress it, you must know yourself and the enemy, how many people and how many guns do they have? I heard that people near Heyuan County also heard the sound of cannons, could it be that the revolutionary party has found a rich man who can afford to buy cannons? ”

"My lord, I think most of the big families robbed by the revolutionary party, this local people in Guangdong are fierce, no matter how many guns there are in the big families, it is not impossible to save a few earthen cannons. What is urgent now is to act immediately, and not to let those revolutionary parties grow bigger, otherwise you and I will be blamed once the above is settled! ”

"Yes, why hasn't General Guangzhou come yet?" Tao Mo was about to ask the people outside the door, but Deshou quickly grabbed Tao Mo and smiled helplessly: "My lord, do you know something, because Li Zhongtang and Bao Nian disagreed on the issue of fighting gangsters when they were governors before, which led to a discord between the two, and they are still sulking until now." He didn't come to see our jokes! Some time ago, in order to change the situation of rampant bandits and armed fights in Guangdong, Li Hongzhang presided over a huge anti-gang operation, who wanted to be opposed by the local forces headed by the Guangzhou general Bao Nian. Bao Nian is a banner man, coupled with the status of the general of Guangzhou is no worse than that of the governor, and he is not afraid of Li Hongzhang, who is in power all over the world, the fact is helpless, even Li Hongzhang can not be a banner man opponent, can only be politically attacked, Bao Nian was reprimanded from above, so now he ignores the pottery model belonging to Li Hongzhang's line.

Guangdong is a military place, the imperial court has been stationed in Guangdong, Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, Huizhou each have governors, governors, admirals stationed, Binjiang and the sea also have seven border towns, namely Humen, Chaozhou, Nanao, Qiongzhou, Gaolian, Yingde and Huizhou Jieshi Town, by the general army to defend. There are more than 90,000 soldiers in the Green Battalion and the Eight Banners in total, of course, this is a number on paper, the actual situation Tao Mo and Deshou dare not think about it, the military camp is deserted, the armament is relaxed, and there are actually 20,000 people out of 90,000 people, which can be considered thankful. Moreover, the Green Battalion soldiers were all under the control of General Guangzhou, and the Eight Banners soldiers completely lost their combat effectiveness. Bao Nian is not afraid of being held accountable by his superiors, and if something happens, he first finds trouble with the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong, he has a strong background in Beijing, and he is the nephew of Lafayette, who are you afraid of?

"My lord, since the Green Battalion can't move, I have an idea in the future. Huizhou Admiral Tang Chun has 8,000 green battalion soldiers under his command, thanks to the construction of a large number of factories in Huizhou this year and the support of the squire, Tang Chun is very wealthy, and he is inseparable from Bao Nian's appearance, plus Jieshi General Lu Sanda is Tang Chun's distant cousin, and there are more than 3,000 soldiers in his hands who can fight, why not try them? Tao Mo felt very aggrieved, his dignified governor couldn't command his generals and soldiers! If you want to go to war, you have to consult with them! But now is not the time to complain, Tao Mo immediately asked Deshou to go to Huizhou, and ordered Tang Chun to be the governor of the bandits and Lu Sanda as the deputy, and immediately set off after receiving the order, and made every effort to exterminate the bandits.

The pottery model and Deshou are dark under the lamp, and the upper echelons of the court can't take care of it, but Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, has found some clues. Zhang Zhidong, also known as Zhang Xiangshuai and Zhang Nanpi, was born in Hanlin, and later became a staff member of Zeng Guofan, worked with Li Hongzhang, and now serves as the governor of Huguang. Zhang Zhidong set up new factories, such as the Hubei Manufacturing Bureau, Hanyang Iron Works, etc., to encourage industry and innovate education, although it was not perfect, but the limitations of the times at that time could not hide its achievements. After getting the news of the uprising of the Heyuan Revolutionary Party, Zhang Zhidong immediately linked it with Huizhou, there is no shortage of elites in any era, and Lu Liang's concealment cannot hide the attention of those who have a heart. While most of the country's elite focused their attention on Beijing, a few, such as Zhang Zhidong, set their sights on Guangdong. When the Hubei Manufacturing Bureau reported to him that he had encountered difficulties in facial sales, Zhang Zhidong ordered someone to investigate and found that a self-improvement cotton yarn factory had risen in Guangdong. There are so many new factories in the small city of Huizhou, and the scale is so large, just one cotton yarn factory is much larger than the manufacturing bureau that it has painstakingly run, and according to the news, this factory was newly built this year! It's unthinkable that they know how difficult it is to set up a new factory, even if they have an American background!

As the investigation deepens, more and more news is fed back to Zhang Zhidong, and every news can bring a huge shock. All the factories in Huizhou were run by a man named Lu Liang and the local squire, and the machinery, raw materials, and technology could not be found out, but there were more than 200,000 workers in the industrial zone, and education was widespread among the workers. Even more striking is the fact that he is building a larger industrial zone in Guangzhou, where it is said that there will be hundreds of factories.

When Zhang Zhidong became more and more interested in Lu Liang and was about to send someone to visit on his behalf, the news of the revolutionary party uprising came. "It must be that little guy Lu Liang who did it!" Zhang Zhidong concluded that with such a mysterious background and so many factories, it was impossible not to have a capable security force, and he knew how chaotic the people in Guangdong were. Therefore, it is impossible for Lü Liang to allow the revolutionary party to stir up trouble around him and threaten his own industry, unless the Zhenguo is supported by him, or simply run by his subordinates. This makes sense, he Lu Liang came back from the United States, and it is said that there is a place where the revolutionary party activities are frequent, isn't that Sun Yat-sen in Honolulu? Maybe the two have something to do with each other.

Zhang Zhidong guessed something, but he was not ready to take action, it is difficult to say how much loyalty these Han ministers had to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, otherwise there would not be the so-called "Southeast Mutual Insurance" released, the situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty Zhang Zhidong saw it very clearly, and hoped that there would be some changes, but now he is dying of old age and can't move, so he can only make a fuss about industry and education. Lu Liang, let's see what step you can take, if the old man is still alive by then, maybe he can help you.
