Chapter 317: The Alliance (Asking for a Monthly Pass Again)
Several governors in the south, except for Chen Kuilong, the governor of Bashu, who refused to obey the northern government, the rest of the governors have already submitted to the northern government, which undoubtedly saves the northern government a lot of trouble.
"Prepare to send troops into these southern provinces to maintain social stability. In the event of a riot or riot, it must be suppressed as soon as possible. If necessary, drastic measures can be taken. Wu Haoxuan ordered.
Although, several governors have already expressed their submission. But the troops of the Northern Army must also be stationed. Only in this way can the control of the northern government over these provinces be ensured. And then step by step digest these provinces.
"Yes, young marshal." Shi Tianhan nodded. Among the troops heading south from Yanjing City, there were more than a dozen infantry divisions, five cavalry brigades, and four heavy artillery brigades, and even after deducting the troops stationed in the provinces north of the Yangtze River and the three infantry divisions that used troops against Bashu, there were eight infantry divisions and five cavalry brigades that could be stationed in these southern provinces. In addition, the governors of the south have already expressed their submission one after another, and if an infantry division or a cavalry brigade is placed in a province, the overall situation can be controlled.
"The governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Shengyun, and the governor of the frontier, have not replied to us so far. Obviously, these two guys want to fight to the end. It's just that the northwest is too far away from us, and it's still beyond our reach! Wu Haoxuan sighed. Shengyun and Liankui are both banner people, and it is understandable that they are finally Manchu and oppose the Northern Army.
It's just that the current focus of the Northern Army is the integration and digestion of the Guannei, and for the remote northwest region, it can only be let go first. However, after the Northern Army has completed its preparations, it will inevitably use troops against the northwest. No matter how remote the northwest is, it is also China's territory. There's no room for loss. In addition, the layout of the northwest is more related to China's future expansion into Central Asia. This made it impossible for Wu Haoxuan to give up the northwest.
"Young marshal, the terrain in the northwest is flat, the climate is dry, and the traffic conditions are harsh. Not very suitable for the actions of large forces. If we are going to use troops against the northwest, it is better to use cavalry. Now we have fifteen cavalry brigades with a total of more than a hundred thousand people. There is no problem at all in dealing with the rebels entrenched in the northwest. After we have stabilized the situation in the Guannai, we can use troops against the northwest at any time. Lieutenant General Shi Tianhan said.
Wu Haoxuan nodded, the problem in the northwest has always been very complicated, in addition to the harsh natural environment, the ethnic relations there are even more tense. If the Northern Army wants to be stationed in the northwest, it will inevitably go on a killing spree. Though. This may provoke a revolt from the locals. However, this is only temporary. As long as the few who are dissatisfied with the government are eliminated, the Northern Army will be able to control the northwest. In the future, if railways and highways are built to the northwest, we will be able to strengthen our control over the northwest. Finally, after the economic development of the northwest was developed, the people of all nationalities naturally supported the northern government and the northern army.
"Young marshal, Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangguang, has an urgent telegram." Zhao Hu sent a telegram to Wu Haoxuan.
Wu Haoxuan took the telegram and looked at it. The expression on his face suddenly became solemn.
"I said how could Zhang Renjun immediately express his submission to us, it turned out that the chaotic party was preparing to make a move in Guangdong Province. The New Army in Guangdong Province was also seriously infiltrated by the chaotic party. Zhang Renjun knew that he couldn't control the overall situation, so he wanted to hand over the mess to us. Wu Haoxuan said coldly.
"Young marshal, what should we do then? Could it be that we are going to be tricked by Zhang Renjun's old boy? Shi Tianhan was a little angry.
"Forget it, those people in the Alliance, we will have to face it sooner or later. Rather than that. It's better to meet them now. Send a telegram to the 1st Cavalry Brigade and ask them to speed up their journey to Canton Province. In addition, all the remaining units of the 3rd Infantry Division were transferred to Guangdong Province. We have to be fast, and if the situation is eroded, we have to be able to stabilize the overall situation. Wu Haoxuan said.
"Yes. Young marshal. Why don't I personally take the 3rd Infantry Division to Guangdong Province? Lieutenant General Shi Tianhan said.
"Okay. However, you should pay special attention to safety after you go. The Confederacy is very good at assassination. The Military Intelligence Bureau has already rushed to Guangdong Province first, and will help you when the time comes. In addition, I have already sent people to contact the Alliance, and if they know each other and are willing to accept our recruitment, it will undoubtedly be the best. If they don't know what to do, then they don't have to keep their hands. Wu Haoxuan said.
Wu Haoxuan had to admit that there were many talented people in the Alliance. In addition, the League also has a huge influence among overseas Chinese. As a last resort, Wu Haoxuan did not want to use force to deal with the Alliance. If those talents can be used by him, this will be of great benefit to the country and the nation.
"Yes, young marshal." Lieutenant General Shi Tianhan nodded.
Wu Haoxuan wants to unify China, and the alliance will be a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. Over the years, the League has been active in Liangguang and has launched uprisings on the border. Although none of these uprisings succeeded, the Allies lost a lot of strength. However, it has made their influence stronger and stronger. Now, China is in turmoil ahead of schedule, which undoubtedly gives the League a chance to grow stronger. Wu Haoxuan didn't want the alliance to have time to develop, and he had to deal with them before the alliance grew stronger. Wu Haoxuan hopes that these talents of the League can be used by the government. Of course, if they are determined to rebel, then Wu Haoxuan will not be soft.
Although, the goal of Wu Haoxuan and the League is to make China strong. But Wu Haoxuan, who had traveled back from later generations, knew that there were too many opportunists in the League, which made their revolution incomplete. Although it overthrew the Manchu government, it was caught up in a struggle for power, which eventually led China into the chaos of warlordism. In this case, it is better for the northern government controlled by Wu Haoxuan to rule China, and develop the whole of China step by step according to the steps he has planned. If there were no people from the League to make trouble, I believe that the country would develop faster.
The predecessor of the League was the Xingzhonghui, which was the earliest bourgeois revolutionary group in China founded by Sun Dacang and progressive overseas Chinese who agreed with Sun Dacang's ideas in the late Qing Dynasty. In the summer of 1894 (the twentieth year of Guangxu), after Sun Dacang wrote to Li Hongzhang to request reform, he went abroad in the autumn to Honolulu, where he had studied in his early years. At this time, more than three months after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, China's navy and army suffered successive defeats, and the Japanese army had invaded northeast China. Sun Dacang, who had the great ambition of "reforming the motherland" but felt that he had no way to serve the country, became more and more angry, so he exposed the corruption and cruelty of the Qing Dynasty among overseas Chinese, and proposed to assemble groups to conspire to save the country. On November 24, more than 20 progressive overseas Chinese who agreed with Sun Dacang's proposal met in Honolulu to establish the Xingzhong Society, and adopted the "Constitution of the Xingzhong Society" drafted by Sun Dacang. Liu Xiang and He Kuan were the first chairmen and vice chairmen, but soon after, Liu Xiang withdrew from the Xingzhong Society.
In July 1905, under the guidance of Ryohei Uchida, the leader of the Black Dragon Society, Sun Cannon returned to Tokyo, Japan, and advocated the preparation for the establishment of the China Alliance. On August 20, 1905, in the tatami room on the second floor of the house provided by Toyama Man, Akasaka District, Tokyo, the Chinese Revolutionary League was established (the China League was formed by the merger of the Xingzhong Society, the Huaxing Society, and the Guangfu Society), Sun Dacang was elected as the prime minister, and Huang Xing and others served as the general affairs; In addition to formulating the "Declaration of the Military Government", the "General Constitution of the China League" and the "Revolutionary Strategy" and other documents, it was also decided to establish branches and branches at home and abroad, liaise with overseas Chinese, the party and the new army, and become a national revolutionary organization. Its organ publication is the Minbao. Sun Dacang is his prime minister, and Huang Xing is his vice premier. At the meeting, the "Declaration of the Alliance" drafted by Sun Dacang, the "Declaration of the Alliance to the Outside World" and the constitution drafted by Huang Xing and others were adopted. There were 30 articles in the constitution, which were later amended to become 24 articles. On the same day, the main cadres of the headquarters were also elected. Sun Dacang was unanimously elected as the prime minister of the League. Huang Xing was promoted to be in charge of the general affairs of the executive department. The headquarters of the League is located in Tokyo, Japan.
The League split in 1907. Sun Dacang left Japan without receiving funding from the Japanese government, which led to the withdrawal of the Liberation Society. Sun Dacang, Wang Jixin, and Hu Zhantang are equal to the headquarters of Nanyang; And Huang Xing continued to support Sun Dacang.
Since 1906, the League, together with the local associations, has launched the Pingliuli Uprising, the Huanggang Uprising, the Qinuhu Uprising, the Qinlian Fangcheng Uprising, the Zhennanguan Uprising, the Qinlian Shangsi Uprising, and the Caiyun Provincial Hekou Uprising. However, these uprisings were not successful, but were suppressed by the Manchus, and the League lost many people with lofty ideals. But even so, the League did not give in, but became more and more courageous.
Yuan Datou's ascension to the throne as emperor aroused the disgust of the common people throughout the country, which made the League see an opportunity and began to actively prepare for a new uprising. However, then the Northern Army entered the pass in a big way, quickly defeated Beiyang, and advanced the battle line to the Yangtze River. This put a lot of pressure on the Alliance. The strong pressure displayed by the Northern Army, and their determination to unify China, worried the Alliance. If they launched an uprising at this time, would it anger the Northern Army and lead to a brutal suppression of the Northern Army?
The Confederate did not believe that their hastily launched insurrectionary forces could compare to the battle-hardened Northern Army. Many of the League's backbones were active overseas, and naturally they were aware of the international influence of the Northern Army's defeat of Japan and Russia. Even the great powers are not the opponents of the Northern Army, and if they start a war with the Northern Army at this time, won't they kill themselves?
Because of this, once again there were divisions within the League, which greatly affected their preparations for the uprising. (To be continued......)
