As early as more than a year ago, Qiu Jin was admitted to the Chinese Military Academy with her outstanding talent and perseverance, becoming the only female student in the fourth phase of the Military Academy and the first female student in the Military Academy.

Wang Jundao allowed women to be admitted to military academies, which was to train a group of female generals for the Chinese Empire, so that Chinese women could also shine like men, and gradually defeat the patriarchal idea that women are inferior to men in traditional Chinese feudal thought, so that Chinese women can also realize that there was Mulan in ancient times, and there are female generals now.

After Qiu Jin completed her studies, she first served as a female instructor and participated in the training of female soldiers.

After the formation of the Guards Corps, Wang Jundao thought that a large-scale Boxer Rebellion would break out in Sichuan this year, in 1902, and the most important leader of this uprising was a young woman - Liao Guanyin.

Wang Jundao planned this operation, an operation to create big trouble for Kuijun, the governor of Sichuan, and also to cooperate with the Dragon and Tiger Army to march into Sichuan.

For this operation, Wang Jundao selected ten outstanding female officers and ten outstanding male officers who graduated from the China Military Academy and secretly went to Sichuan, and Qiu Jin was the leader of these twenty officers.

Subsequently, Wang Jundao transferred a large number of barge guns to Sichuan in various ways, such as the escort of a certain business team with a small number of guns to protect the caravan into Sichuan to do business, these small number of guns gathered in large quantities, and in the hands of Qiu Jin, it was slowly enough to arm an elite army.

After Qiu Jin arrived in Sichuan, according to Wang Jundao's plan, he found Liao Guanyin and others in advance, developed feelings, the two have similar surnames, kind-hearted, concerned about the life of the general laboring group, willing to save people's urgency, help people's difficulties, and strong-willed, strong martial arts, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and smart and capable, and soon became good sisters.

Under the guidance of Qiu Jin, Liao Guanyin gradually turned her heart to China, and her ideals became lofty, hoping for the reunification of China and the prosperity of China.

A few months later, the summer harvest came, but the western part of the Sichuan Basin began to have a severe drought since the beginning of the year, the red land was smoking, the people were displaced, hunger and cold were compulsory, and most of them ate banana roots, elm leaves, Guanyin soil, etc. to satisfy their hunger, and from time to time there were rice bags and the phenomenon of "eating big households" occurred.

However, in this situation, the Sichuan government under the leadership of Kui Jun ignored the life and death of the people, and still used all its strength to expand the army, collecting harsh donations and sending heavy sums to the victims.

The officials forced the people to rebel, in a desperate situation, some people began to resist, Qiu Jin and Liao Guanyin together, decided to rise up, because of Qiu Jin and other experienced military training of a group of military leaders, one or two thousand guns, Qiu Jin and Liao Guanyin led the uprising team in a short period of time developed into the most powerful uprising team, one after another captured more than ten towns and towns, where they passed, kill corrupt officials, in addition to the annihilation, and fight local tyrants, landlords, grain, land, rent and interest reduction, the people have come to join.

Although the peasant contingent led by Liao Guanyin and Qiu Jin grew to 50,000 or 60,000 within a few months, Qiu Jin was well aware of the military theory that there were not many nobles, and only selected the most elite more than 10,000 people to form a regular rebel army, and the rest were used as auxiliary troops or logistics troops.

Because of the good command, the fame of the division, the popularity of the people, and the advanced weapons, the rebel army led by Liao Guanyin and Qiu Jin was simply invincible.

In a few months, more than 30 townships and towns and two county towns were taken down, and peasant warfare was actively waged, and various movement warfare, disturbance warfare, and sabotage warfare were carried out...... made Kui Jun feel like he was on pins and needles all day long.

Under such circumstances, the peasant rebel army led by Liao Guanyin and Qiu Jin had been elected as the leader by many peasant rebel armies, and the remaining six or seven rebel armies were willing to obey the command of Liao Guanyin and Qiu Jin.

Deeply appalled by the peasant uprising, more than a month ago, Kuijun originally wanted to concentrate his forces to completely encircle and suppress the rebel army, but at this moment, Xu Jian led an army of more than 100,000 to start an attack on Sichuan from the north.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight.

As a result, Kuijun was sad, in the case of a strong enemy attacking outside and a strong army making trouble inside, it was difficult for Kuijun to take care of both inside and outside, and the defense line in the north was broken by the Dragon and Tiger Army again and again, and the county towns and towns in the south of Chengdu were also captured by the peasant rebel army one after another.

In less than two months, the Dragon and Tiger Army reached Deyang City, and the peasant rebel army led by Liao Guanyin and Qiu Jin had already conquered Huayang County, Xinjin County, Pengshan County, and Pujiang County in the south of Chengdu, and the number of rebel troops had grown to 102,000 or 30,000 people, although the real elite was less than 30,000, but it was enough to make Kui Jun afraid.

You must know that since the Dragon and Tiger Army sent troops from Hanzhong, it has successively broken through the five heavy defense lines jointly arranged by the Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army, annihilated more than 20,000 enemies and captured more than 100,000 enemies, and in the battles with the peasant rebel army in these months, Kuijun also lost nearly 50,000 people, and now Chengdu has only 100,000 troops.

How can a 100,000-strong army withstand a 150,000-well-equipped Dragon and Tiger Army and a 130,000-strong peasant rebel army?

Just when Kui Jun was in a hurry and asked Wei Guangtao, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, for help, Qiu Jin received an order from Xu Jian and launched a general attack on Chengdu with the Dragon and Tiger Army.

The 50,000-strong army of the Dragon and Tiger Army returned to the south of Chengdu with a large number of mortars, joined up with the peasant rebel army in the south, and launched an attack on Chengdu from the south.

Xu Jian personally commanded an army of 100,000 to attack from the north.

In the first round of attack alone, under the roar of artillery and machine gun fire, the Sichuan army on the outer defense line of Chengdu could not resist at all, and they all retreated into Chengdu after holding out for less than half an hour.

However, no matter how strong the Chengdu city wall is, it cannot withstand the bombardment of high-explosive shells, and in just ten minutes, the accurate large-caliber heavy artillery blasted the city wall out of six or seven large gaps.

Under the cover of machine guns, the Dragon and Tiger Army in the north took the lead in launching the final charge, and the Dragon and Tiger Army and the rebel army in the south also launched a charge more than ten minutes later.

Three hours later, Chengdu was occupied by the Dragon and Tiger Army, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Songfan, was killed in battle, the governor of Sichuan, Kuijun, shot himself, and the rest of the Sichuan army also announced their surrender.

In this battle, the Dragon and Tiger Army and the rebel army destroyed more than 9,000 enemies, captured more than 90,000 enemies, suffered more than 500 casualties of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and more than 5,000 casualties of the rebel army.

Facts have proved that there is still a big gap between the regular army and the peasant rebel army, and of course, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army is also quite strong.

In addition to the north city wall section and the south city wall section of Chengdu City are more seriously damaged, the rest of the city has not been greatly damaged, and this damage is also in line with the future development of Chengdu, after all, Chengdu must build various roads and railways leading to the north and south, and these gaps just meet this requirement.

As for the other parts of the city wall, the area is actually not large, and the development is not of much value, so it can be preserved as a monument.

After the capture of Chengdu, the first step was to collect prisoners, the second step was to pacify the people, and the third step was to pacify the rebel army.

The first and second steps are easy to solve, because the Dragon Tiger Army has too much experience in this area.

The third step Xu Jian was a little troublesome, but he could only ask Wang Jundao, Wang Jundao gave a solution very simply, in line with the conditions of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and can become an elite soldier, stay, join the Dragon and Tiger Army, and form three divisions of 10,000 people, respectively by Liao Guanyin, Qiu Jin, Ye Jianlan as the division commander, after all, Liao Guanyin, Qiu Jin, Ye Jianlan The prestige of the three is not covered in the peasant rebel army, and they are almost catching up with Wang Jundao's status in the eyes of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

Those who do not meet the requirements and are willing to stay and become the logistics team of the Dragon and Tiger Army are extremely welcome, but they must accept the training of the logistics soldiers and abide by the military regulations of the Dragon and Tiger Army, otherwise they will be directly eliminated, and if they are not willing to join the team of the Dragon and Tiger Army, they can also stay and participate in the construction of Chengdu's industrial construction and railways, highways and other projects in the future.

Those who want to go home and are unwilling to stay will be given travel expenses and rations, but it is strictly forbidden to take away guns, artillery and other weapons, and it is also forbidden to form gangs and factions to occupy the mountains as kings, otherwise they will become the enemies of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

The combat effectiveness of the Dragon and Tiger Army, the peasant rebel army, can be described as extremely terrifying, most of them are willing to stay, join the army, join the logistics.

The rest of the people are also willing to stay, obey the arrangements of the political workers of the Dragon and Tiger Army, and join in the construction of the New Deal, after all, the Dragon and Tiger Army has just occupied Chengdu and needs a lot of manpower, and most of these peasant rebels, as long as they are recovered, are usable people.

With Xu Jian, an all-round man with both civil and military skills, sitting in Chengdu, in just a few days, the clouds of the war almost dissipated, Chengdu returned to its former prosperity, and all kinds of businesses began to operate, due to the control of the Dragon and Tiger Army, prices did not rise, and under the deterrence and express regulations of the Dragon and Tiger Army, the grain merchants who secretly hid the grain took out the grain.

Sichuan is the country of abundance, the annual grain output is only afraid to feed three times the people of Sichuan are enough, if it is not for all kinds of officials, squires, landlords, grain merchants, etc. to make trouble, do not say that Sichuan is only a season of grain harvest, even if it is a year or two of great drought, the grain has not been harvested, the reserves of Sichuan province can also ensure the survival of the people.

Considering that even at the market price, it would be difficult for many ordinary people to buy grain for a long time, the military and political workers of Longhu, who exercised military control, purchased a large amount of grain from grain merchants in accordance with the order given to Xu Jian by Wang Jundao in advance, and directly distributed porridge in Chengdu and the surrounding counties and towns of Chengdu.

After Chengdu was stabilized, Xu Jian naturally would not let the Dragon and Tiger Army stay in Chengdu again, so he immediately ordered the final attack on Sichuan, leaving only the direct division, the 33rd division and the logistics team stationed in Chengdu, and the rest of the army, including the newly formed Liao Guanyin Division, Qiu Jin Division, and Ye Jianlan Division, more than 30,000 people, a total of 150,000 troops, respectively occupied various provinces, prefectures, and counties in Sichuan, mainly to persuade surrender, supplemented by siege.

Because the military might and fronts of the Dragon and Tiger Army were too strong, most of the prefectures and counties surrendered when they heard the wind, and the few resistances were just grasshoppers shaking the trees.

Within a month, with Chengdu as the center, most of the prefectures and counties in Sichuan had been controlled by the Dragon and Tiger Army, and the four divisions of the 28th Division, Liao Guanyin's Division, Qiu Jin's Division, and Ye Jianlan had arrived in Xuzhou (now Yibin), the 29th Division and the First Reading Regiment of the Second Army Corps had arrived in Luzhou, the First Reading Division and the 30th Division of the Second Army Corps had arrived in Shunqing (now Yucheng), and most of the troops of the 31st and 32nd Divisions had been dispersed to various prefectures, prefectures, and county towns in Sichuan to exercise military control.
