Chaos!

The second half of May 1892 was undoubtedly a chaotic situation for East Asia. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the East, the Battle of Tochigi, which decided the fate of Japan, had already begun, and nearly 600,000 Japanese and Russian troops had fought in Tochigi Prefecture, and if Russia won the war, the gates of Tokyo would be open to Russia, and it would be difficult for the Japanese army to assemble a large force to block the invasion from Russia.

On the East Asian continent, the rebels in Hangzhou not only recovered the nine counties to which Hangzhou Prefecture belonged, but also successively recovered three counties of Jiaxing Prefecture and two counties of Shaoxing Prefecture, and most of the nearly 60,000 rebel troops swept through the whole province of Zhejiang, recovering the trend of the southeast in one fell swoop.

When the eyes of the great powers began to look at the new "Zhejiang Provincial Governor's Office" and began to explore the impact of the uprising on Qing politics, North Korea then broke into people's attention, to be precise, the Korean Unified Governor's Office and the new army stationed in Korea.

"Qing Junfang" is undoubtedly a new term for diplomats, observers, and scholars in Western countries, but as long as you know a little about history, you will learn that this is just a pretext for "rebellion", and the great powers undoubtedly pay more attention to the new army stationed in Korea than the "rebel army" composed of "mobs" in Hangzhou. After all, compared to the former, the latter is a well-armed and well-trained government army.

More importantly, will the actions of Qing government officials have a fundamental impact on the political direction of the Qing state? This was the fundamental concern of every Western diplomat, and while Western diplomats speculated about the impact of the rebellion between the north and the south on the politics of the Qing state, they inadvertently ignored the southeast and Hangzhou.

As a matter of fact. This is not only true of Western diplomats. Even the Qing court ignored the itch of scabies in the southeast to some extent.

A blue background of the "Sun and Moon Flag" fluttered in the sky above the city of Hangzhou. For the people of Hangzhou at this time, they seem to have adapted to this "sun and moon flag", and the shops and restaurants on both sides of the street, whether they are willing or not, must hang the "sun and moon flag", although this Han Governor's Mansion is not "Ming", but it does not prevent them from customizing the "sun and moon flag", in fact, this is completely the opinion of those overseas comrades.

It seems that except for those comrades overseas. Not many people realized the importance of the "flag", and the shopkeepers in the city, who had to spend money to buy the "Sun and Moon Flag" and put it in front of the store, did not know what it meant, as if in their eyes the flag was a symbol of "obedience to the people" to some extent.

"Shunmin"

No matter in any era, for the Chinese people, being willing to obey the people is undoubtedly the best choice, and it is also the most beneficial choice for themselves, especially when the war is in chaos. However, it is because in the war of that year, "the bandits killed all the hair, and the soldiers killed all the hair." "The scourge. The people were somewhat resistant to the "braid-cutting order" issued by the governor's office, but even if they resisted, they had to cut off their braids, after all, there were soldiers patrolling the city on the street, and when they saw someone who had not cut their braids, they would pounce on them.

Behead?

The big guys are all Han Chinese, so naturally they won't do that, but when they are caught by the soldiers, they will cut off the braids with bayonets at the root, and even the braids will be confiscated.

After a few days, although the city of Hangzhou no longer wore braids, there were men with half-long hair close to the shoulders and scattered in this city.

"Faith!"

In the private room on the second floor of the "Qiantang Building", when several young men in military uniforms brought a dish to the shopkeeper, one of them spoke.

"You see, the tips of this little er's hair are all on his shoulders, this is a sign of absent-mindedness, they are still waiting for the Qing army to call, and they will re-connect the braids!"

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Zhao Qianli's brows suddenly locked, and he stared at the people with loose hair on the street outside the window and said fiercely.

"These people are really minions who can't do enough, in my opinion, instead of being so magnanimous, it is better to give orders directly, set the order like the Manchurians, and those who dare to violate the rules will be severely punished!"

The murderous words only made the atmosphere of this private room change suddenly, but most of the friends around him smiled disapprerovitously.

"Brother Shuli is serious!"

Standing up, Wang Fu walked to the window and looked at the passers-by on the street.

"The creation of these two hundred and forty-eight years of slavery, how can it be eliminated day and night, Brother Shuli has ever remembered, Li? In the "Yantu Chronicle", when he arrived at Shanhaiguan in the thirteenth year of Shunzhi in the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, he also saw on the road that "the pedestrians in the market saw the envoys wearing clothes, and felt that the Han Dynasty was well-dressed, and there were weeping people, this must be Han people, and it is pitiful"; On the third day of October, after he officially met in Beijing, he also found that "when the Chinese see the Oriental clothes, they are all full of tears, and their feelings are very affectionate, and they are relatively pitiful." In the pseudo-Qianlong period, our people are no longer familiar with this kind of clothing that originally belonged to the Han nationality, which makes them not only strange, but also curious. ”

When he said "human nature is good at forgetting", Wang Fu's heart was full of five flavors, wasn't he also the one who forgot his sect at the beginning? If it weren't for what he read and thought in North Korea, how could he have the awakening of Greater China in his heart, but what about the Chinese people? Perhaps they remember that they were once Han Chinese, but they have long regarded braids and Manchu robes as part of China, and they have become accustomed to nature.

And how can this nature be changed?

Braids can be cut, clothes can be changed!

But what about the human heart?

Thinking of people's hearts, he can't help but think of those officials and scholars who once pointed to the big guys and said that "there is no king, no father, rebellion and thieves", it seems that for them, the nation and the country are not important, the only important thing is the so-called Gangchang, the so-called "Jun's kindness should be rewarded", what should be done to this kind of person?

"Kill!"

When a word came out of Tan Sitong's mouth, there was no hesitation, but the killing he was referring to was the dozens of people who had just been captured to provide information to the Manchus.

Jun Grace is like a mountain?

For Tan Sitong, at least for now, he has no emotion in this regard at all, as the leader of the insurgents, for him, the most tense responsibility at the moment is to lead tens of thousands of rebel troops to win the victory of this uprising.

"Resurrection, there are still a few local sages among them, if you don't ask and behead, wouldn't it be ......?"

Without waiting for Tang Caichang to finish speaking, Tan Sitong and Li Qinyu, the military adviser beside him, said firmly.

"Vice-Governor, this is a critical juncture, and if we fail to quickly establish the authority of the new regime, and if we fail to allow the masses to switch from supporting the reactionary and decadent Manchu regime to supporting the revolutionary new regime, then we will inevitably meet with a violent backlash, and in the process of establishing authority, revolutionary violence is inevitable!"

Violence is inevitable!

As a military adviser, Li Qinyu's position is very clear - he recognizes the violence of the revolution, just as he is trying to make - to cleanse the people's army of all "unfavorable factors" through revolutionary violence.

"Now, we are facing an unprecedented test, in the locality, many people still choose to cooperate with the Manchu colonial regime, they may betray this nation at any time, and even among the people's army, there are many people, who have betrayed the revolution openly or implicitly,"

Looking at Tan Sitong and Tang Caichang, Li Qinyu's expression was solemn, but with a taste that could not be questioned, seeing that the two seemed to be hesitating, he deliberately emphasized again.

"Now it is well known that Fuzhong has raised the banner of rebellion in Korea, and in the short term, Fuzhong must concentrate all its forces on attacking the Manchu army, in fact, compared to Hangzhou, the north is now bearing more and greater pressure, which is also the greatest sacrifice that Fuzhong can make for us, and now, we must rely on ourselves, and the Manchu government will consolidate the power of the revolution and consolidate the fruits of the revolution before the Manchu government frees up its hands from the north......"

If Tang Haoran heard Li Qinyu's words at this time, he would definitely wonder if his student was stimulated by something, and his words were all full of "revolution", in fact, Li Qinyu was not a "revolutionary", at least not a real revolutionary, and even his experience of the word revolution was obtained from books in the library, just like his understanding of revolution - French-style revolution.

"Now we must use revolutionary violence to warn all those who disagree,"

After a slight pause, Li Qinyu's voice rose again.

"Especially in the Nationalist Army, those who have different intentions and may betray the Revolution at any time will be the most present enemies of the Revolution, and they will even do far more damage to the Revolution than the Manchu army has done, and of course, the traitors lurking in the city......"

When the clear words came out of Li Qinyu's mouth, they did not reveal too much emotion, in fact, for him, the only thing he cared about was how to master the people's army, this was his task, perhaps, the Hangzhou uprising was launched by Tan Sitong, Tang Caichang and others in front of him, but the future people's army must be in his control.

Among the several classmates who went to North Korea with the teacher that year, Li Qinyu has always been inconspicuous, and it can even be said that he has never attracted the attention of the teacher, and his classmates have also ignored his existence.

Perhaps for the whole world, the Hangzhou Uprising is a chicken rib, but in Li Qinyu's eyes, this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if it can be successful, then he will not only attract the attention of the teacher, but also be able to obtain unimaginable rewards. Power, honor...... Such rewards, but all of this must be premised on "success", and this means that he needs the help of Tan Sitong and Tang Caichang to help him master these forces in the "name of revolution".

"Grand Governor, Deputy Governor, we don't have any other choice! Success or failure! It's the only option! ”
