Chapter 29 Fireworks Are Strictly Prohibited (Subscription Requested)
Those Eight Banners disciples had never been on the battlefield at all, and some of them had never even fired a gun, but Tie Liang now gave them the right to supervise these new troops. And the power is so great that they can arrest any of the new army if they feel that there is a suspicion of the revolutionary party. On the streets, if they think that the new army is suspicious, they have the right to go up and check it at any time.
According to Tie Liang's idea, this should be able to take care of those new troops in the south.
But Tie Liang didn't know that those Eight Banners disciples in the Qing Dynasty who could only carry bird cages all day long couldn't do!
These guys are used to being powerful, and they take Tieliang to give them chicken feathers as arrows, and they don't know the minimum respect for these new army soldiers! After the soldiers of the Eight Banners in Guangzhou City saw the soldiers of the New Army on the street, they arrested them and interrogated them, regardless of whether they were okay or not.
They couldn't really interrogate them, and they just asked a few words that they thought would make the new army afraid.
"Whose food do you eat?"
"Eat the emperor's food!"
"For whom?"
"Be a soldier for the emperor!"
"Whose woman does it sleep with?"
"Sleep on the emperor's ......!"
Of course, Zuihou's sentence is a joke, anyway, the general situation is like this, the new army has to answer cleanly and neatly, a little slower, and it will be a few slaps up. All this made the attitude of the soldiers of the new army towards the Qing Dynasty have changed from dissatisfaction to anger, and this anger is slowly accumulating, like a volcano brewing and erupting energy.
Sun Wen knew that as long as he ignited this volcano, the energy he erupted would be enough to engulf the entire Qing Dynasty. So when Sun Wen went to the West to seek the support of Western governments for his revolution. Pai Huang Xing quietly infiltrated Guangzhou City with a group of people, he wanted to make a move in front of Yang Xiaolin, and at that time Yang Dagui could only respond to him.
Huang Xing only brought three people into Guangzhou City in the first batch, including Sun Wu, an arms expert specially arranged for him by Sun Wen. Chen Jiongming, who was responsible for receiving them as a student of the Guangzhou School of Political Science and Law and the head of the revolutionary party in Guangzhou.
Chen Jiongming was unable to attend the meeting in Shanghai this time because Sun Wen told him that he was going to fire the first shot in Guangzhou. Let Chen Jiongming prepare in advance. When Huang Xing entered the city, Chen Jiongming arranged everything.
Chen Jiongming had already persuaded a considerable number of Qing soldiers to formulate a set of ten routes to attack Jihua in Guangzhou. Speaking of the ten-way army, it is terrifying, but in fact, there are more than 100 people on each road. There are only a dozen or so people at the least.
However, it didn't matter if there were many people, as long as the guns rang out, most of the soldiers of the New Army would not come to strangle the revolution. They will definitely be on the other side. The main battle was probably fought between the rebels and the Qing overseers.
If the rebels were able to take the Doge's Palace, then the new army in the city would definitely respond to them. So there are not many people, as long as the action is fast enough to disrupt the opponent's deployment, there will be no problem.
Huang Xing was also excited when he heard that Chen Jiongming had opened up the situation, and he didn't rush to do it, because the guns and cannons promised to them by Liaodong had not yet arrived, and the materials promised by the Japanese had not arrived, so Huang Xing decided to wait.
During this period of time, Huang Xing made an appointment with the rebel new army contacted by Chen Jiongming to discuss a specific plan of action. Chen Jiongming used the $100,000 brought by Huang Xing to try to buy off those higher-level New Army generals. It's best to make them revolutionary, and if not, at least keep them neutral when the battle starts.
Their munitions expert, Sun Wu, began to concentrate on making explosives needed for the uprising, and some revolutionaries came to support them one after another.
Tieliang's so-called prison army is really a dry meal, and Huang Xing is making trouble in Guangzhou City. All day long in and out of the New Army barracks to meet those officers and soldiers who had rebelled, they didn't even notice it! …,
Chen Jiongming even tried to convince the guards of the Governor's Mansion to make a way for them to come out during the uprising, but Zhang Jianbai, the governor of Liangguang, did not receive any news at all, and from this point you can see the back of the people's hearts.
But sometimes, you don't have to win the hearts of the people to get things done.
Huang Xing believes that the most dangerous of his actions is Chen Jiongming's behavior of bribing officers and soldiers. If one of them betrays them, the whole thing is over. So he was careful and careful in this matter, and he weighed and weighed on who could be bought.
Huang Xing didn't expect that there was no problem here, but Sun Wu, who he thought was the least likely to have a problem, suddenly had a big problem.
Sun Wu was an expert in munitions, and he was very good at making bombs, and it is said that the bombs he made were about as powerful as the shells of medium artillery. So this time, Sun Wen specially asked Sun Wu to help Huang Xing.
After entering the city of Guangzhou, Chen Jiongming found a very inconspicuous house for Sun Wu, and Sun Wu plunged into it, and he didn't come out at all after five or six days of hard work, and even the food and drink were sent to him by others.
On this day, Huang Xing had just spoken with an officer of the New Army, who was very supportive of the revolution and had more than 200 brothers under his command. He said that as soon as Huang Xing fired the first shot, he would immediately respond with his troops.
With these two hundred people, the ranks of the revolution have grown considerably. They had a meal at the officer's house and drank a little wine, and on the way back, Huang Xing and Chen Jiongming were very happy.
Now there is nothing missing, and the revolutionaries from other provinces who have come to support them have also entered the city one after another, and everything has been prepared, just waiting for Yang Dagui to send the guns, and they can fire the guns. The two of them discussed some details as they walked, and Huang Xing was even thinking about the route of the rebel army after the capture of Guangzhou.
Later, talking about Sun Wu, Huang Xing suddenly found that he had been too busy in the past two days, and he forgot about it when he was busy, and immediately proposed that the two of them go together to see how many of Sun Wu's bombs had been made.
So the two came to the inconspicuous-looking house where Sun Wu was hiding, knocked on the door and entered, and found that Sun Wu was buried in his work, as if something was carved on a wooden plaque.
The two of them also know a little bit about explosives, do they need wooden signs to make bombs? Huang Xing is very strange. Next to him, Chen Jiongming handed Huang Xing a cigarette, and after the two of them lit the cigarette, they smoked and leaned their heads towards Sun Wu, who was working with his head.
"Sun Wu, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing, now there are more than a dozen bombs, and it's not safe to pile them up there, so I'll carve a sign and hang it at the door."
"What brand?"
"No fireworks!"
“……”
Chen Jiongming and Huang Xing hurriedly threw the cigarette butt in their mouths on the ground and wanted to step on it, but they never thought that Sun Wu had just made a bomb, and there was still residual gunpowder on the ground, and the cigarette butt fell to the ground, and a cyan flame immediately jumped up, Huang Xing still wanted to extinguish the fire, but Sun Wu's face changed greatly after reacting: "Run!" ”
Sun Wu's ability to make bombs was finally verified, and more than a dozen houses were reduced to a pile of rubble in an instant, and a large crater of more than ten meters was blown out of the entire ground, even the shells of heavy artillery may not have this effect.
It doesn't matter if the Manchu prison guards are stupid, as long as they are not blind, they can see that someone must be making bombs. The Manchu Qing dispatched all the liliang in Guangzhou to start a city-wide search, Chen Jiongming, Huang Xing and Sun Wu fled from Guangzhou with their wounds and embarrassment, and Sun Wen's carefully prepared uprising was stillborn again.
However, this incident also really shook the Manchus, who realized that Sun Wen could not wait to do it, and they strengthened their control over the south, and at this time Tie Liang made another regulation, that is, the guns of the new army soldiers in the south were not allowed to have bullets in them. …,
All ammunition must be confiscated and distributed in the event of war.
Maybe Tie Liang thought that this would reduce the possibility of a soldier riot, but his move was a more stinky step on the stinky chess!
To know what a soldier does? Soldiers are used to maintain stability. Although the Manchus did not have the will of the people, if there was a riot, one-tenth of the new army in a city would be willing to serve the Manchus and come forward to quell the rebellion, and the revolutionary party would have no chance of success.
This is why Sun Wen asked Huang Xing to fight for more neutrality. Now it's okay, Sun Wen doesn't have to bother. As soon as Tie Liang collected the bullets in this way, it was doomed that as long as Sun Wen could fire the first shot, those new armies had only two choices, either to follow the revolution together, or to stand by and watch. They don't have the power to quell the riots, because they don't have any bullets in their chambers!
The current Qing Dynasty is almost over, Sun Wen has already raised his knife, at this time Tie Liang stupidly put away his knife, there is really no suspense in the matter. The only thing that cannot be determined is how the Manchus were killed.
Yang Xiaolin received this news after returning to Liaodong, Sun Wen's failure really surprised Yang Xiaolin, the Liaodong side already had detailed information about the incident, in Yang Xiaolin's opinion, it was not that the Manchus were too cunning, but Sun Wen's luck was too bad.
Sun Wen's telegram was also photographed, asking Yang Xiaolin if he was still willing to fulfill his promise to provide him with guns and artillery.
Yang Xiaolin's answer is very simple, as long as Sun Wen is still in the revolution, he will support him and support him unconditionally. However, Guangzhou has failed there, and it is impossible for Liaodong's goods to be sent to Guangzhou, Yang Xiaolin means that it will be stored in Shanghai, and Chen Qimei of the League will be in charge of keeping it, and Sun Wen can pull it at any time when he wants it.
He didn't get too entangled with Sun Wen about the rest of the things. Yang Xiaolin prefers Lao Yuan's way, sometimes it is useless to say that everything is reasonable, if this shijie is reasonable, how can China fall to this point today?
He didn't have time to say anything to Sun Wen, and since he came back, he worked out a strategic plan for an expedition to Korea with Cai Songpo and Nyerere. Expeditions are easy to say, but they are very difficult to do.
A large part of the combat effectiveness of the Volunteers comes from their strong melee firepower, and the strength of the firepower requires very high logistics and supplies. The Volunteers have not yet had the ability to supply on a large scale, and Cai Yi's attack on Dalian was also carried out in the form of local supply. Now that he suddenly wants to fight such a war, it really gives Yang Xiaolin a headache. (To be continued)
