Chapter 140: Let Them Go (First Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
"Uprising!"
Putting down the intelligence briefing in his hand, Tang Haoran stood up silently, pacing back and forth, and finally stopped by the window, looking at the frozen lake outside the house through the window. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Uprising!
Tan Si and others want to launch an anti-Qing uprising in Hangzhou!
“…… I hope that my brother can give me arms and ammunition support, and send people to help the uprising......"
Tan Sitong wants to launch an uprising!
Isn't that what you want?
But for some reason, at this time, in the face of Tan Sitong's request for help, Tang Haoran's heart swelled up with a strange feeling, not because of anything else, but because this uprising was destined to be unsuccessful.
Although launching an uprising in Hangzhou can achieve the effect of causing a sensation throughout the country, how can Hangzhou, as the capital of a province, be captured by hundreds of insurgents?
"Yuanyou, do you have any information about the Hangzhou garrison?"
In the past nine months, as the person in charge of the special intelligence department of the unified supervision office, Li Muchen, in addition to training agents, has been more tasked with developing a network in China, personally going to Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Lushun and other places to establish an intelligence network, although this intelligence network is only in its infancy, and most of it relies on the help of the company, but the results are extremely outstanding.
With the support of the Intelligence Division, the current Unified Supervision Office is no longer unable to grasp all kinds of information as it was in the past, and compared with the past, the Intelligence Division now sends an "intelligence briefing" to its office every day, so that it can intuitively grasp everything and adjust some work.
"My lord, there are only two battalions of green battalions in Hangzhou, but there are 4,000 people stationed in the city of Manchuria, Mongolia, and Han Army. Commanded by the Hangzhou Infantry Yamen. The city is full of more than 10,000 people......"
Li Muchen hurriedly reported. These figures are not classified intelligence, but so-called "customization". Hearing that there were 4,000 banner soldiers, Tang Haoran's brows tightened.
"How many of them are there to resurrect?"
"Less than 200, and they have already begun to stir up the party near Hangzhou, and it is expected that there will be no less than a thousand people participating in the uprising!"
Thousand!
Compared to the rebels in another time and space, this number is indeed quite a lot, and in another time and space, those who engaged in the anti-Qing uprising were only a few dozen. Most of them were only a few hundred, and a thousand people were considered a "large-scale uprising".
"Yuanyou, what do you think about this? Do you think they are likely to succeed? ”
"My lord, I personally believe that even if the uprising succeeds, it will be extinguished quickly, and there is absolutely no possibility of expansion!"
In fact, what Lee was quoting was the conclusion of several analysts in the Intelligence Division that the uprising could never succeed.
“…… In addition to the stubborn resistance of the city, the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division is now concentrated in Keelung, and according to reliable intelligence analysis, it will escort five battalions of Huai Army and one battalion of British troops to attack Sulphur ......"
The Anglo-Qing coalition forces attack the sulphur ball!
At least in Tang Haoran's opinion, this kind of thing will be too "weird" in the future. The Japanese defenders of the sulphur ball were only one brigade, and in fact, even the Japanese themselves knew that the sulphur ball could not be held without even a single shore gun. And after waiting for more than half a year. Fearing that the Russians would take down Tokyo and force Japan to sign the alliance under the city, the British could no longer control the ** that suppressed Russian ambitions, and under the persuasion of the minister in China, the Manchus finally got involved in the war, and together with the British, according to the agreement reached between the two sides before the war, attacked the Ryukyus and restored the vassal state.
Rather than recovering the vassal state in name only, the British would then lease the Ryukyus as an advance base to curb Russia's southward expansion, and in another time and space, the British chose Liugong Island, but now, the Ryukyus were their only option.
"You mean ......"
Listening to his mention of the Beiyang Naval Division, Tang Haoran immediately realized the slim hope.
"My lord, there is no Japanese navy in the Ryukyus to resist the attack of the coalition forces, and the British "Chinese fleet" has also sent a number of warships to escort the uprising, once there is an uprising in Hangzhou, the Qing court will inevitably mobilize the navy to suppress the uprising, once the main force of the Huai army land division and naval division arrives, in the face of land and sea siege, the uprising is absolutely not likely to succeed! ”
In fact, this was the inconvenience of launching an uprising along the coast, perhaps to help the Intelligence Service to provide support to the insurgents, but on the other hand, it was equally conducive to the suppression of the Qing army, which had an overwhelming navy and could not threaten the fleet at sea.
"So, in your opinion, we should stop this uprising?"
"My lord, instead of stopping it, we should support it, I have ordered Shanghai to transport 1,000 long and short guns and 300,000 rounds of ammunition to Hangzhou, and at the same time took out 60,000 yuan from the special funds......
"What!"
Eyes forced to look at Li Muchen, Tang Haoran simply couldn't believe his ears, what was he talking about, knowing that the uprising could not succeed, why did he want to add fuel to the fire, and more importantly, he didn't have his own consent.
"My lord, this is your initial responsibility, in addition to collecting intelligence, the intelligence department should support the anti-Qing groups in the country, and assist them in launching an uprising, through continuous uprisings, to divert the attention of the Manchu court and dismantle its legitimacy......"
Sensing the anger on the adult's face, Li Muchen hurriedly explained:
"It's just a matter of implementing the original principles......"
In Li Muchen's eyes, there is no consciousness that Tan Sitong is an adult and a friend, and in his opinion, he is just an object that can be used.
"Furthermore, the Intelligence Bureau needs an uprising to determine the reaction time of the Manchus and the mood of the people after the uprising!"
There was no need for Li Muchen to explain any more, and at this time, three words appeared in Tang Haoran's mind - sacrifice!
Tan Sitong and his students became a victim!
"My lord, it is only through an uprising that we can determine the time of the Manchu reaction, the reaction of the DPRK and the local officials, and more importantly, how will the people react to the people who had been enslaved by the Manchus for nearly 250 years under the slogan of "Expelling the Tatars and Restoring China"? Your Excellency, you have said that the time to oppose the Qing Dynasty lies with the people, and that the uprising can only succeed when the people wake up. And how can the awakening of the people be proven? Only tested by a few events. The anti-Qing uprising is the best criterion! ”
Science!
Revolt is also a science. At least in Lee's view, planning an uprising is a science.
Although the Manchu court was the original sin of China's colonial rule with the nature of national enslavement, through more than 200 years of education of the foolish people, the common people and the gentry in China were confused by it, so the uprising faced the dilemma of whether the people accepted it, such as during the Taiping Army, many gentry sided with the Manchu Qing to suppress the uprising. If we can't determine the psychology of the people, how can we grasp the timing of the uprising in the future? ”
There is another sentence that Li Muchen did not say - it is better to let others bleed than to shed his own blood, of course, he will not say this sentence, and he does not need to say it, he believes that adults can understand his intentions.
The snowflakes fell on his body, but Tang Haoran, who was in the snow, didn't seem to have any reaction, just paced back, he never thought that one day he would become a complete politician - after weighing the pros and cons. He chose to agree, or at least acquiesce in the suggestion made by Li Muchen. The Hangzhou Uprising was the beginning of the "anti-Qing experiment".
Unlike any trial, the price of this trial will be life! It's blood, and the former comrades have turned into cold test specimens, just to get some data.
Is there a more brutal option than that? At least in the past, Tang Haoran had made such a cruel decision from the future, and at this time, a sentence even repeatedly appeared in his mind.
"The success of the revolution was forged by the sacrifice of comrades!"
Only blood can forge the success of the revolution!
When he repeatedly held this sentence in his heart, Tang Haoran closed his eyes in pain, sometimes although he was unwilling, he could only make some sacrifices for a nobler goal!
Although there was some pain in his heart, Tang Haoran didn't even realize that he had completely changed, and after nearly two and a half years of traveling to this era, the original one who was worried about a suggestion seemed to have disappeared, and all that was left was an ordinary politician's indifference-weighing everything from profit to loss, rather than being too emotional as in the past.
"Revolution is not a dinner party, it is a bloodshed ......"
After a soft murmur, Tang Haoran, who opened his eyes again, seemed to have disappeared in his eyes, and all that was left was a kind of perseverance, he knew that everything was just beginning, and in the future revolution for national independence, there would be tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of comrades who would sacrifice, and this was just the beginning.
At the very least, their sacrifice was worth it, and they would awaken the people and buy themselves time, after all, they were not ready for it now, and until then, they could only prepare for the great revolution to come, through constant revolution.
Yes, that's it!
It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married...... Let them go!
Just when Tang Haoran turned around, he saw a girl standing under the corridor, it was Shen Jingxian, she was looking at him with a concerned face.
"Jingxian!"
"It's so ...... to be standing in the snow with such a heavy snowfall."
When the words came out of Shen Jingxian's mouth, she swept the snowflakes on Tang Haoran's head and shoulders with a handkerchief, and then Tang Haoran noticed that a thick layer of snow had fallen on his body, and looking at Jingxian's delicate face so closely, Tang Haoran's heart was hot, and as soon as his heart was hot, he reached out and grabbed Shen Jingxian's hand.
"Ahh
Shen Jingxian, whose hands were caught, realized that she was so close to him, and when she thought that she was so close to a man, her pretty face suddenly became hot.
"You, you hurry, let go of your hand, let, let others see ......"
Shen Jingxian's words became quieter and quieter, so that in the end, they were as thin as mosquitoes, but instead of letting go of his hand, Tang Haoran held it tighter, and even took another half step forward, almost touching Shen Jingxian's body and whispering.
"Last time, we made a bet, and it seems that I won!"
Staring at the girl in front of him, Tang Haoran mentioned the agreement more than half a year ago, and hearing him mention the gambling contract, Shen Jingxian's pretty face turned even redder, and she struggled to justify.
"Who, who said you, you won, you, you are a good person, such a scoundrel, I, I have no ......"
In the end, Shen Jingxian didn't even know what to say, but just as her words became smaller and smaller, a voice sounded in her ears.
"Marry me, okay? Jingxian! ”
(Finally, the current Tang Haoran has lost his heart, and he weighs the political gains and losses, right?) Is it wrong? This can only be seen by the benevolent. The first update, ask for a monthly pass! (To be continued.) )
