Chapter 15 Haidian Preparations
So, Li Zhenguo decided to start from scratch and establish a patriotic salvation organization. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This is Huarong Club.
In addition, Liu Mingchuan, who returned from studying in France, and Yang Tiancheng, who returned from studying in the UK, participated in the establishment and development of Huarong Club. It has been a year and a half since they developed patriots and secretly formed an armed group......
And Haidian Town, which is not too far from Beijing, is their North China branch!
This time, some high-level leaders of the Huarong Association held a meeting here to discuss the future organizational development route, but they did not expect to encounter the invasion of the British and French forces. The route of attack was from Tongzhou, through northern Beijing to Haidian Town.
Li Zhenguo sat in the first place, calmly listening to the speeches of other members of the organization. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Haidian Town is where our North China branch is located. On weekdays, we are active here and have received strong support from the local people. They didn't really understand much of the truth, but they still chose to protect and help us. Now, the aggressor is coming. If we run away, will our conscience be at ease? ”
Liu Mingchuan had a struggling expression on his face, and he had indeed considered it. But now the Huarong Society is still a new seedling, and if they stick to Haidian Town, it is likely to cause losses to the high-level of the Huarong Society. This is definitely a huge blow to the future development!
Li Zhenguo's eyes swept over the faces of the "comrades" below, and his voice was low: "My Chinese nation is the greatest and wisest nation in the world!" The Chinese Divine Kingdom has become a first-line power in the world, as evidenced by the fact that the British Empire ceded land and paid reparations. are both descendants of Yan and Huang, why is there such a big gap between the Chinese Divine Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty? That's the question of Han dominance! ”
Yang Tiancheng next to him also nodded and said, "Everyone naturally knows this." Only by upholding the unshakable dominance of the Han people and uniting under the rule of the Han people can the country prosper and develop. ”
"But...... Have you ever wondered? Why did the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of millions of Han people lose to the Manchus? Because, we don't have enough blood! No matter how good a nation is, if it loses its iron-blooded will, it may be conquered by a backward nation. If you want to maintain the excellence of a nation, you must water it with iron and blood! Like today, if we use the pretext of preserving our strength as an excuse, we retreat. That is, the will to lose iron and blood, that is, to lose the blood of the Han people. In the long run, how can we catch up with our brothers who are also Huaxia? The reason why the Huaxia Divine Kingdom is so powerful is that they first restored the blood nature of the Han people! Even if the number of people is small, they will never admit defeat! ”
The more Li Zhenguo spoke, the more excited he became, and finally stood up with a swish, stretched out his hand and punched the table.
"So, we're not going to back down this time! Even if we die on the battlefield, we must let our blood inspire the fighting spirit of those who come after! ”
Every word he said was sonorous and powerful, exuding an air of iron and blood.
At this point, no one opposed Li Zhenguo's resolution. On the contrary, they were all ignited with the blood in their hearts, the passion of Huaxia!
They all stood up, their faces solemn.
"So...... Please, everybody! We live and die with Haidian Town! Far Eastern Chinese blood will last forever. ”
"Coexist and die with Haidian Town! Chinese blood is eternal! ”
Since the Huarong Society has decided to stay in Haidian Town to organize resistance, it must be organized as soon as possible. Fortunately, Haidian Town, as their North China branch, has long secretly absorbed a large number of patriotic and enthusiastic young people. Today, only 60% of the farmers in Haidian Town are in the guise of reformers. And they mingle with the locals and promote new ideas!
Not only the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but even Zhao Wushuang probably couldn't have imagined that such an organization had already appeared in Shenzhou......
"Liuwa, the Xiyi devil is coming. Pack your things and run for your life. ”
"I'm not leaving! Teacher, didn't you teach us that this is our territory in China, and we won't give an inch! ”
"But you're only fifteen years old......"
"I'm ready to go into battle and kill the enemy! I will use muskets, and bayonets. ”
This is a conversation that takes place between a member of the Huarong Club and his students. There are many underground schools in Haidian Town, and in the evenings, members of the Huarong Association will hold classes to teach the children of these peasant families to read, write, and learn cultural knowledge for free.
After more than half a year of development, almost all the children of local farmers can read and write. And the concept of "Huaxia" has also begun to penetrate into their hearts......
So when the people of Huarong Club told the truth about letting these teenagers leave, they all strongly expressed that they wanted to stay in Haidian Town. Let the members of the Huarong Club secretly wipe their tears.
In the end, under Li Zhenguo's compulsory order, women, elderly people over 50 years old, and children under 14 years old immediately ran south. Or finding a way to enter the city of Beijing is also a way to save your life.
The rest, immediately put into combat readiness. Dig pits around the low city walls of Haidian Town, scatter iron nails, and plant explosives...... Even dig a pit and pour some human and animal manure into it! As long as it can make the British and French forces have some obstacles, they have been used.
In terms of personnel, although due to the economic situation, it is not possible to have a musket per person at the moment. However, since the Huarong Society originally planned to try to start an incident once a year, at least there were a lot of cold weapons such as broadswords and spears in the secret cellar......
If it can be used in conjunction with a musket, it can also be useful in close combat. After all, during the First Period, Opium, Chips, and Wars, there were cases where local people used hoes, sickles and other agricultural tools to defeat a British Indian mercenary squad.
You're all set!
In the afternoon of the same day, the British and French forces really bypassed the northern part of Beijing from Tongzhou and came to the ground of Haidian Town......
The number of troops dispatched by the Anglo-French alliance this time was actually not very large, about 11,000 in Britain and 6,700 in France. It adds up to less than 20,000.
But the Western powers, which are less than 20,000, beat the stupid and forced Manchu Qing to the brim, and they can't even find the north!
From Tianjin all the way to Beijing, the Manchu court invested more than 200,000 regular troops! Especially in the Tongzhou area, which is close to Beijing, there are Manchu and Mongolian iron cavalry that were once regarded as the elite of the imperial court......
The result is hehehe. With less than 200 casualties, the Anglo-French army was destroyed and completely dispersed by tens of thousands of Manchu regular troops!
Later, the British and French forces saw that the Manchu Qing were really weak to a certain level. A team of less than 20,000 men simply divided their forces and attacked in all directions. At present, the coalition team that arrived in Haidian first is about 5,000 people......
Leading the ranks was Major General of the British Army Golden, and the Frenchman Wadsey served as the second commander.
At this moment, the two of them are each riding a white horse, walking on the grass in a leisurely manner similar to a walk after dinner. In the distance, you can already see some houses and buildings in Haidian Town. It looks very bleak in the wasteland. (I was originally planning to explode on the fourth watch today, but sadly, Feng Ling was injured a little when he came home from work to take a shower, I'm really sorry.) can only be normal 2 more, try to 4 more tomorrow! (To be continued.) )
