Chapter 300: Violent Revolution (1)

"Drop! Didi-Di-Di! ”

The very sensible sound of wireless telegraphy sending and receiving resounded in the telecommunications room, and rows of telegraph operators each guarded a partition, constantly receiving and recording ciphers from all over the country.

All the codes and numbers written on paper were collected and transferred to a telegraph room across a wall for rapid decryption and translation, and then sent to the communications room in an orderly manner according to important and urgent procedures, and then transferred to various offices throughout the headquarters.

The whole process runs smoothly and smoothly without any chaos.

Yang Hao stayed in the center of the entire headquarters, and the personnel in the headquarters with portals on all sides kept coming in and out, quickly receiving information and giving feedback, like a huge spider web, with countless tentacles and branches all over the country and abroad.

No one could have imagined that such a huge and confidential strategic-level decision-making center was hidden in the depths of the American Concession, in the Oriental Book Building. On the surface, it is only the tallest building in the Far East, and the transmission tower on top is by no means just a radio station.

The course of the conflict that was breaking out in Shandong was followed and reported on at all times, and the General Staff immediately marked the situation on the map. Obviously, two conspicuous arrows, one red and one blue, were spreading rapidly, swallowing up the area ruled by the Manchus little by little.

"The rebel army captured Yutai County, the county order fled, the guards surrendered, and order has been controlled!"

"There is an abnormal movement in the Qing army in Yanzhou Prefecture, and Li Bingheng's newly formed training force of 2,000 people has been dispatched, and the special operation group of Jianyi immediately launched a blockade to prevent it from entering Jining Prefecture!"

"The Qing army in Jinan is reinforced, and the target is Qingzhou."

"Telegraph communication between the provincial capital and the east has been cut off, and the reconnaissance detachment has begun to intercept the Stagecoach Express!"

"The petition force has completed its deployment to meet the battle. The occupation of the main traffic nodes is completed. There was no abnormal reaction from Laizhou Prefecture. ”

"Yizhou Governor Xiliang ordered the transfer of troops. The local garrison refused to pull out the camp on the grounds that it had not been pumped out of silver. The Yizhou battalion has already launched an operation and can launch at any time to seize the city. ”

"The Qing troops of Dengzhou Mansion were mobilized, and the Dengzhou defense army was assembled in Fushan, and there seemed to be signs of southward movement."

"The rebel army vanguard has arrived in Shanxian! The magistrate ordered the closure of the city to resist and caused panic, and the believers of the Big Knife Society in the county took the opportunity to make trouble, and the order was chaotic and uncontrollable! ”

Hearing this, Yang Hao threw the pen in his hand on the table, shook his head and said, "What the hell is a group of superstitious armed thugs." It is simply impossible to organize actions as effectively as a real revolutionary soldier. They only bring destruction and suffering, and are not constructive at all. ”

Ding Weifen frowned, the result of such a change was obviously far from what he had expected, or he and the rest of the young revolutionaries thought things too simply.

Yang Hao has always opposed a violent revolution without adequate preparation, which will only cause a series of uncontrollable chaos, and under the provocation and stirring up of various forces, it will inevitably lead to the spread of secession and strife throughout the country. The result was a decades-long warlord scuffle after the Xinhai Revolution in the world!

The provinces of China, which had become de facto small independent kingdoms, were changed by the edict of the Guangxu Emperor. All localities have begun to set up armed academies and organize the formation and training of new armies, and they are about to completely turn into a real separatist force. Although on the surface, the Qing court could mobilize every governor. Appoint and dismiss them from official positions. But it can't really erase the influence of these people, no matter where they go, they can quickly integrate local forces. This point cannot be solved by the fact that the Qing court vigorously promoted and appointed Manchu officials.

The grassroots people at the other end have become at a loss because of the chaos above and the impact from outside. Under the strict system blockade built by the Ming and Qing dynasties for more than 500 years, ordinary people were almost all trapped in the narrow local area, and most people could not go out of the range of 100 miles in their lifetime. In such a closed environment, the clan power has grown greatly, but the people have become dull and ignorant because of the lack of information.

Such a person is easily superstitious about pretending to be a ghost, and it is easier to vent the pain suffered in a difficult and difficult life in an extremely violent way! A little bit of them come together in a group, and they will immediately become a crazy force that destroys a qiΔ“!

Look at the previous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Little Knife Society, and the Twisting Army, all of them. After them, there will be the Boxer Rebellion, which has reached the peak level of chaos.

The influence of these two has greatly undermined the ability of China as a whole to resist foreign aggression. Yang Hao understood this point, so he was reluctant to erect a banner to rebel. Because he knew that this would not form a revolutionary tide that would immediately sweep the whole country, but would only lead to extreme chaos.

It's just that no matter how much he emphasizes analysis, it is still difficult to convince everyone. After careful consideration, he agreed to the action plan this time, so that others could see for themselves what the whole process was like.

Ding Weifen couldn't help but clench his fists. It was not that he did not believe Yang Hao's previous warning, but in his heart he agreed to adopt more violent means to crush all the decaying and backward forces that stood in front of the revolutionary chariot. But they are not sure whether that kind of bloodshed and sacrifice will greatly damage China's already small vitality.

Yang Hao knows very well how terrible the violent revolution is, and he also knows the inevitability of success. But there is a premise that there must be enough people to control the whole process.

In the history of this world, the entire agrarian revolutionary movement lasted for more than 30 years, and it was only under the circumstances of the Japanese invasion that the mountains and rivers were shattered, and after being refined by blood and fire, our party accumulated strength for many years before it completed the great cause of encompassing the whole country.

But even then, there are great sequelae. In order to defeat the counter-revolutionary forces headed by Chang Kaishen too quickly, and to gain national power without adequate preparation, they had to use a large number of old literati and old bureaucrats whose ideas had not been reformed and unified. As a result, this group of people led to ideological confusion again and again in the following decades, triggering a series of political movements. Until a few decades later, the whole country was running with a disease, and every step forward was extremely difficult.

In view of such lessons and lessons, Yang Hao's family wanted to engage in a thorough revolutionary line. Before that, it was necessary to make full preparations, save up enough manpower, military and economic, political and cultural, and complete all-round infrastructure construction work. Then, under the condition of ensuring that the influence of external forces is isolated, the great cause of revolution will be carried out in an orderly manner.

The idea is good. In practice, it is very difficult. It's only been just over a year. The backbone of the revolution began to gain momentum. It's better to be blocked than to be sparse. Yang Hao simply let it go.

It's just that such a Cheng dΓΉ is obviously not shocking enough. Therefore, he did not order immediate intervention, but let the "Broadsword Society" rebel army under the leadership of Xu Yanzhuo's special operations group fight steadily and advance outward at its own pace.

Seeing Ding Weifen's tangled expression, Yang Hao smiled and comforted him: "The situation in Lunan has certain particularities, and we should not generalize. Now is just the beginning, and it will be interesting to see what the situation is. We're going to get through guΓ² this test field. We have found out the correct means for the revolution of the whole country and the whole nation. ”

"Understood." Ding Weifen nodded and said sincerely, "Sir's previous reminder was right. ”

Yang Hao waved his hand: "It's too early to draw conclusions." Tell Xu Yanzhuo, we will create plenty of safe space for him, keep the main forces closely following the chaotic trend, and let go of his hands and feet to do it boldly! ”

"Yes!"

Ding Weifen agreed vigorously, hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to go there and see it in person." ”

Yang Hao glanced at him deeply, nodded and agreed: "You can bring more people, seeing is believing." ”

Ding Weifen knew that he should bring those people, and after saluting solemnly. Hurriedly turned to leave.

In the short time that followed, the chaos in Lunan was spreading at a hurricane-like speed. Immediately after Shanxian County. Not far away, riots broke out in Cao County, Chengwu, and Dingtao counties one after another. Wherever there are believers in the Broadsword Society, there are people who take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and there are all kinds of banners, in short, the purpose is to take advantage of the chaos to rob and kill!

At the same time, not far from Caozhou, there were civil unrest in the areas of Guide Mansion in Henan, Feng County, and Pei County in Jiangsu. In particular, a large number of Dadaohui believers or other organizations launched a siege on the local church, some people used explosives to blow up the church, even expelled the missionaries, and even brutally killed Chinese believers!

For a time, countless emergency telegrams and distress excerpts poured into the capital like a tide.

Emperor Guangxu was shocked three times a day, and since he received urgent reports from Li Bingheng and Wang Wenshao, he stopped reading books and slept anymore, and summoned all the ministers of military aircraft and court officials to the court. Even Li Hongzhang, who was raised by Rongyang, was forcibly invited, and almost all the top of the hall were red-topped.

The Manchu and Han ministers of Wuyang Wuyang had no agreement about what happened in Shandong, and no one could come up with a definite solution. And because of the slow communication, they could not grasp the detailed situation, so they could only deal with it passively.

Emperor Guangxu was strict with fire, his mouth was foaming and his voice was hoarse, and he was much more anxious than when the Japanese army invaded Liaodong. His cheeks were flushed with an unhealthy red, and he looked around at everyone with strong anger and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there a good plan for the civil unrest in Shandong?" What happened to the wounded soldiers? Let's talk about it! ”

Li Hongzao immediately stood up and said sharply: "Disobeying the imperial court military orders, leaving the garrison without authorization, and besieging the imperial army, this is a rebellious move, and it should be suppressed!" The minister asked the Holy Authority to send troops to Shandong and kill the rebels! ”

A group of Qingliu officials immediately followed up: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" The chaotic people of Lunan are just scabies, even if they sweep through several counties in a short time, as long as the imperial army arrives, they will definitely be leveled backhanded. Yang Rebellion's department is the henchman of the imperial court! ”

Emperor Guangxu nodded again and again, and he didn't ask Li Bingheng if he could take Yang Hao's nest with the Shandong garrison, if he could do it, he would have to wait until today?

He asked worriedly: "But if you want to transfer troops, should you use the new army or the Wuyi army?" After they are transferred, if the new army in Tianjin changes, who can control them? ”

"This ......."

The ministers who had just made an impassioned statement did not know how to pick up the stubble.

No matter how chaotic Shandong is, it is thousands of miles away, and Tianjin is right under the nose! More than 10,000 powerful new troops can hit the capital within a day if they are not careful, who dares to take this risk?

Obviously, it is impossible to transfer troops.

Emperor Guangxu turned his eyes to look at Li Hongzhang, who closed his eyes and hung the curtain, secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, and asked with a forced smile: "Li Aiqing, do you have a good plan for the Shandong rebellion?" ”

Li Hongzhang raised his eyelids and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, has the petition group outside Qingzhou City ever attacked?" ”

Emperor Guangxu was stunned, what kind of problem is this? (To be continued......)
