Chapter 383: Red Banner Red Blood Rolling Wind
'Didi, Didi......'
Shanghai was silent in the middle of the night, and it was already early in the morning, and even the Chu Pavilion of Flower Street was also resting. In the concession, in a small two-story building that looked completely dark on the outside, the spies of the Shanghai station were nervously sending telegrams to Taiwan.
This is a telegraph line leased by Ta Kung Pao from foreigners, and although the Military Intelligence Department is developing rapidly and Wang Qing's strength is growing day by day in the Shanghai area, it is still pure fantasy to want to personally conceal a submarine cable several thousand miles long.
However, Wang Qing rented a telegraph line from a foreigner in the name of "Ta Kung Pao", and it made sense. The news thing is about an instant effect. Without telegraphing, it was recited by fast boat or land, and by the time it arrived in Shanghai, the daylily was cold.
'Is Beijing going to do it?' ‘
'Command, Operation Thorns begins!' ‘
Liu Xian put down the three telegrams in his hand, and Zhengse gave an order. Let Fuzhou Station hand Zuo Jinliang a message, telling him that the mouth of the Minjiang River has been blocked by our mines. Let the harbour master stay obediently in the ponytail! ‘
'Order Shi Qingyan to lead the team to attack Xiamen and Quanzhou, and block the sea surface of Fujian! ‘
Besides, say hello to all the foreigners. China is fighting, and their money is not spent in vain! ‘
The corners of his mouth curled up and sneered, and Liu Xian was also sneering in his heart. As soon as he made a fuss with Beijing, Britain, the United States, Russia, Germany, and several major powers in the world, except for Austria-Hungary, which could not get out of Europe, and France, which had enmity with Liu Xian, all took the initiative to find the governor's yamen. Waving a check, support Liu Xianam's national liberation!
The first grants and loans for the four countries were 2 million silver dollars and 1 million pounds sterling.
The former is gratuitous. The latter is interestless!
Liu Xian completely turned the former into munitions and supplies, and the latter was set aside for military spending.
This is certainly unthinkable to Beijing. Liu Xian could guess why with his toes. Naturally, this is the pressure that China's national power has recovered in recent years, which has brought pressure to the European and American powers.
Liu Xianam's Qin army was the main source of this false fire in China, if this war was fought. Liu Xian is defeated, so this false fire will naturally be gone. But if Liu Xian wins. The war in China as a whole will not be able to subside in a short period of time. The great powers will have more opportunities to encroach on China's interests and power!
Of these countries, the British are the most ambivalent. For the British, they occupy the lion's share of trade with China, and of course they want to maintain a complete unity of the Chinese market, but between suppressing China's strength and development and market, they finally chose the former.
The Manchus had not yet noticed the need for secrecy in the telegram. Its password has long been obtained by the Beijing station. The telegraph office they set up was also leaking like a sieve. Coupled with the disparity in speed and action, Beijing's telegram was only forwarded to Tianjin, but it stopped because the radio station in the Tianjin Telegraph Office suddenly went wrong. I couldn't have imagined that the news was in the telegraph office when the machine was repaired. It has been spread to Shanghai Tang, and then from Shanghai to Taiwan.
Beijing ordered the Huai army in the Shanghai area to go south, ordered the governor of Liangguang Ruilin, and the general of Guangzhou, Changshan, to immediately take action against the Qin army in Guangxi, and ordered Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, to prepare for war with all his might, and at the same time the shipping master and sailor division went out of the port to cut off the sea connection between the various departments of the Qin army. Find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Nanyang Naval Division. Strike first.
Three telegrams were sent to Liu Xian's hands, and Liu Xian certainly would not sit back and wait for the Qing court to make a move. A barrage of orders was issued at once.
Things have finally come to this point. "After today, the flag will be completely erected against the Qing!"
After the order is issued. Liu Xian suddenly felt very empty in his heart. He set up a wish, and now it seems that he is still very far away from consummation, but at this point now, he feels that there will be no more major setbacks.
In another month, eight battleships will be able to return. The relatives of those cadets were all in Qinzhou, and Liu Xian had previously used the water division officers as a reason to allocate housing. He brought back all the relatives of these people. Compared with Lin Yongsheng, Huang Jianxun and other thirteen people, the family is not a wealthy family.
Liu Xian did a bit inauthentic at this point. So. When the fleet returns, he will greet these elites with a good situation. Build the necessary confidence in these people.
In the second year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, October 11.
It was a special day when Liu Xian raised an army against the Qing and on this day the Qing court began to deal with the Qin army.
On this day, the Huai army in Shanghai made a move;
On this day, the Chu army in Hangzhou made a move;
On this day, Zuo Zongtang of Fuzhou dropped the cup;
On this day, Yinghan of Guilin committed suicide in his own governor's yamen......
The multi-way army broke out in one fell swoop. Half of Guangxi has changed its color, and Hainan, Taiwan, Lianzhou, Leizhou, and Gaozhou have all set up the battle flag of the Qin army, a brand new red blood flag! It's still the tiger for the coat of arms.
China has a tradition of tigers and bears as military flags. The Dragon Banner only began in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
On October 12, Ding Zhenduo's book of discussion was officially released to the world. The above examples count the killings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty from the founding of the country to several shames in modern history: the golden ou is mutilated, the land is ceded and the compensation is paid, the concessions are all over the place, and the country is no longer a country! Foreign affairs are lost, internal affairs are not repaired, floods and droughts are frequent, and people are displaced!
For many years, China's status as the 'Heavenly Empire' was destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it still did not want to forge ahead when it bowed its head to foreign countries. "The weakening of national strength, the decline of culture...... the Qing court is confined to the selfish interests of one clan, ignoring the happiness of billions of people, and treating all the people as dogs...... Anyway, Liu Xian feels very good.
The Qin army officially raised the banner of "anti-Qing". The external propaganda is also to ask for the edict of the heavens, and then establish the heavenly dynasty.
Anyway, in the political zhì orientation, do not take the initiative to shout: drive out the Tartars, restore China, such words.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was mixed with dog-like literary scum such as Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan. They immediately conquered the world, but they were by no means like Meng Yuan who still ruled the world immediately. Therefore, it can have a lifespan of more than 200 years, breaking the Chinese proverb that 'Hu has no 100 years of luck' that has been passed down since ancient times.
The longevity of the Manchu Qing was not created by a few emperors, but was determined in the process of conquering the world.
The establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the absorption of the scum of Confucianism by the Manchu Qing Dynasty gave the 'Wenzhi' and the compromise of Han culture a place on the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This is the fundamental reason why the Manchus ruled China for more than 200 years. But it really doesn't work for Kangxi, who eats chaff and drinks diluted, and Qianlong, who is happy with great achievements.
Therefore, Liu Xian was anti-Qing at this time, and after he crossed over, he changed a lot of general trends and was really different from Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and others at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
The phrase 'expel the Tartars and restore China' could not set off an anti-Qing wave. This was not the end of the Qing Dynasty, nor the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and the intellectuals of this era absolutely regarded the Manchu Qing as Zhengshuo, and they had not completely lost confidence in the Qing court. And to tell the truth, since the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming and Zheng dynasties in the Qing Dynasty, the vast majority of uprisings in China, including the Taiping Rebellion, are no different in nature from the rebellions of the previous Chinese dynasties, and do not have national colors.
Therefore, the slogan of 'expelling the Tartars and restoring China', for the majority of people at this time, was actually the same as the Liangshan heroes' 'walking for heaven', and they were all the same mysteries. The spine of the Chinese nation has been broken and is sleeping, and this flag cannot wake them up. Because in their hearts, the Manchu Tartar is already China, and the Manchu court has not reached the point where the whole country is surging after the two defeats of Jiawu and Gengzi.
At this point, Liu Xian also helped a lot. His fighting in Xinjiang and Vietnam put a dazzling coat on the 'self-improvement' of the Westernization movement. The common people and gentry officials in China will admit that Liu Xian can fight and the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, but they also regard the Xianghuai Chuduo and the Praetorian Guard very highly. The vast majority of people will think that even if the latter five armies are inferior to the Qin army, the difference is limited.
In the most straightforward words, Liu Xian's 'general trend' has not yet been achieved.
When the Qin army swept through Liangguang, and after the Qin army attacked the Hunan Huai Chuduo and other armies, the anti-Qing tide would surge at that time. The eight words 'drive out the Tartars and restore China' are the ones that really work.
So Liu Xian didn't promote these eight words at all.
When it is useful, you don't say it, it is also useful; When it's useless, you say it's useless!
……
In Si'en Mansion, Guangxi, the prefect's yamen screamed again and again, and blood splashed everywhere. Guo Kui, the general of the battalion after the training of the Guangxi army, stood stunned on the spot, and it was not until the two waist knives slashed at him that his soul returned to his place, and he rolled over and over again to avoid it, shouting and scolding while dodging.
"Lord Domain! What are you doing!? We are all loyal to the Qing Dynasty! ”
Guo Kui fled from the Spring Wolf Bèi of Foer Country in Nanning to Si'en Mansion, and he knew in his heart that something was wrong. It must have been the Qin army that rebelled and fought a big fight. Otherwise, how could the political envoy Fuer Guochun, who was stationed in Nanning and held the front camp of the training army, have a small force of 2,000 troops, so embarrassed to flee to Sienlai?
As a close confidant of Li Futai, the former governor of Guangxi, Guo Kui was full of loyalty to the Qing Dynasty in his heart. Therefore, after Fuer Guochun settled in Fucheng, he immediately held a gathering of rear camp officers, and he did not hesitate at all to lead more than 30 officers above the squadron officer level of the rear camp army to the meeting.
As part of Guangxi's military training, the officers of the rear battalion were full of apprehension and anxiety about the future.
Liu Xian rebelled, not to mention whether other places could be taken down, Liu Xian wanted to take Guangxi, but it was as easy as a snap. This was the consensus of Guo Kui and his officers.
Guo Kui and the others were all present, hoping that Foer Guochun would be able to 'wisely' take them to the north or west. The less than 2,000 soldiers in the rear battalion are really trying to touch eggs against stones if they want to compare them with the Zhou army.
Guangxi's telegram was pulled all the way from Qinzhou to Guilin, and other prefectures and counties had not yet been reached, and Guo Kui, who was guarding Si'en, did not know that not only the former camp of the training army led by Fuer Guochun was broken, but also the standard battalion of Yinghan, the governor of Guangxi, and the 4,000 troops of the middle battalion of their training army were broken up two days earlier. Yinghan committed suicide by drinking bullets at the governor's yamen. (To be continued) R640
