Chapter 26 The Canton Rebellion
The training of the militia in the base areas has also begun a long time ago, but training and preparing for war are two different things. Once the militia is preparing for war, it can be said that it means telling the people that the war is about to start, and at this time, the mood of the common people will enter a stage of tension and anxiety, and a long period of tension and anxiety will cause a panic to the villagers in the base areas. And if you don't see the wolf for a long time after you shout that the wolf is coming, it may also cause distrust of the Tohoku regime.
Yang Xiaolin and Chen Tianhua are stronger than Sun Wen's returnees in that they know how to avoid some possible dangers, and they definitely don't expect the people of the entire Northeast to think more about them.
Of course, you can't shout too late, it's already too late for the wolf to come to you, and you will suffer a great loss.
The panic is only to say that the part of western Liaoning, which has just been annexed to the volunteers, and as for the old base areas in eastern Liaoning, such as Liaoping, Baishan, and Xinbin, the work will be much easier, and the consciousness of the masses in the old areas will be relatively high.
After Yang Xiaolin sent a telegram to Cai Yi, Cai Yi also thought that Liaoping must hold on, not only to defend, but also to persevere!
First of all, for the sake of political considerations, the premature loss of Liaoping was absolutely unfavorable to the Volunteers. Secondly, from the perspective of stabilizing the people's hearts, Liaoping will not lose its confidence at the beginning of the battle, so that the people's confidence can last longer.
Zuihou one is a strategic need, after the war started, once the first and second phases of the operation were completed, the volunteers needed a place to attract the enemy's attention, so that the enemy could attack with all their strength, so as to cover the safe withdrawal of the large army from the battle and complete the goal of the third stage.
Liaoping is obviously the most suitable bait.
This is a bit of a strong man's broken wrist, they must now plan for the worst that may occur in the future, and if it really comes to that point, in order to cover the retreat of the large army, the wrist should be broken.
At a time when the Northeast was entering a period of preparation for a full-scale war, it really seemed that the negotiations were nearing the end. Of course, Lao Yuan would not miss the opportunity given to him by Wu Zhaolin, with him here to fan the flames, and when Wu Zhaolin made a start, those who were already extremely dissatisfied with Mr. Sun Wen and these returnees immediately took action.
In just three days, Chen Dequan of Jiangsu expelled the Jiangsu administrative officials and disbanded Huang Keqiang's troops left behind in Nanjing, which was under Sun Wen's direct control. Then, Sun Wu's freedom of movement was restricted in Wuchang, and Huang Xing's soldiers did not obey his commands. Anhui was even more excessive, and the returnee officials sent to preside over the affairs were directly assassinated. The locals launched a powerful counterattack against the returnees, except that they did not shoot. It's almost to the point where fire and water are incompatible.
The situation is so sinister, the returnees are trying to support it, and if they are not careful, the southern government will be drowned. Sun Wen did not choose to use force against Wu Zhaolin in the end, and he instructed the team remaining in Nanjing to remember not to engage in armed conflict. Because Mr. Sun Wen knew very well that the gunshots at this time had the liliang that shattered everything.
But when the situation develops to this point, no one can stop the gunshots. Mr. Sun Wen is mentally prepared for this. In case it really deteriorates to that point, he is ready to take his government to Guangzhou to persist in the struggle, Sun Wen is not a person who gives up easily.
But Sun Wen never expected that the place where the gunshots rang out was actually Guangzhou.
Guangzhou. It is Sun Wen zuihou, and it is also the place where the greatest hope is placed. In order to make Guangzhou stable, Sun Wen specially sent his most powerful brother Chen Jiongming to preside over the affairs of Guangzhou.
After Chen Jiongming took office, he found that this errand was really not done by people.
The first problem to be solved first. It is the problem of too many revolutionary soldiers. When he arrived in Guangzhou City, he found that the number of various revolutionary armies in Guangzhou City combined exceeded 100,000 people, which really surprised Chen Jiongming.
I think that he and Sun Wen planned an uprising in Guangzhou several times back then. They were followed by only a few hundred people at most, and when did the revolutionary contingent become so large? More than 100,000 soldiers carrying guns had to eat, drink, and pay in Guangzhou, and the situation was not much worse than that of Nanjing's military salaries.
In the current situation, the best way to do this is to dismiss these so-called revolutionary troops, and give them some money, so that they can leave their guns and go home. But where does the money come from? Sun Wen only gave himself a letter of appointment and twenty taels of silver for the travel expenses, what should he do?
Chen Jiongming knew that he couldn't count on Sun Wen, and Sun Wen, a soldier who was in trouble with military salaries in Nanjing, couldn't settle down, so he could only rely on himself here.
As a revolutionary, Chen Jiongming believes that he should take into account the overall situation, and that these returnees of the revolutionary party urgently need a stable base, and all hopes are pressed on him, and he cannot let his comrades down.
There was no money, no supplies, Chen Jiongming did not flinch, he rushed up in the face of all the difficulties, and rushed up desperately!
You are all revolutionary? Don't take me for a fool! I didn't see you when I was revolutionary, and now you all get out!
He first formed an army of his own, numbering 30,000 men.
Chen Jiongming sold his real estate and factory in Nanyang, and raised a sum of money to ensure the armament and material supply of these people. Kill them one by one!
Chen Dadu Governor This is a thunderous method, which is very radical, but the effect is very obvious.
After killing the leaders of more than a dozen troops in one go, many of the soldiers turned around in fright and ran. No matter how many people scolded him, the situation in Guangzhou really began to ease, and those local squires in Guangzhou saw that Chen Jiongming helped them drive away the group of plague gods outside, and they also began to support him, and the government order could be issued.
Although he had blood in his hand, he could immediately complete Sun Wen's task of stabilizing Guangzhou, and then he was ready to start building Guangdong into the base camp of the revolutionary army.
Offending people, too, is certain. Chen Jiongming offended not one person, it was already common for him to be shot in the middle of the night, and he encountered countless assassin killers who wanted to kill him. He had been prepared for all this, but what made him unprepared was that some revolutionaries did not understand his approach!
Some revolutionaries actually said that he was the devil, that he killed people to weaken the revolution! One of them, Wang Heshun, is particularly powerful! Revolutionaries are all hot-blooded, and so is Wang Heshun. On the one hand, he kept sending telegrams to Sun Wen, and on the other hand, he was working against Chen Jiongming in Guangzhou, don't you want to kill those revolutionary teams? I'll protect the revolutionary ranks.
Wang Heshun vigorously recruited those troops, and in the name of the revolutionary government gave them official establishment and titles, and in just half a month he was organizing 40,000 revolutionary troops, and this number continued to increase.
It's easy to collect people. But what do you give to others to eat? Chen Jiongming was so anxious by him that he found Wang Heshun many times, and Wang Heshun didn't buy his account. It's not good to be reasonable, Wang Heshun's concept is that he wants to fight with the Beiyang Army, and the stronger the revolutionary team, the better!
As for what they eat, that's the problem that you, Chen Jiongming, the governor, want to solve, I'll take care of the revolution, I'll organize these people, it's my credit that the revolution has grown, and it's your Chen Jiongming's incompetence that can't solve the problem of eating and drinking.
There is no way, if there is a way, how could Chen Jiongming sell his family's real estate and factory? He also doesn't have a second factory and a second house to sell!
A ruthless: "Grandma's, kill so many." I don't care if there's one more of you! ”
He didn't think about responding to Wu Zhaolin's move in Shanghai, Chen Jiongming just wanted to take advantage of this time to plant Wang Heshun's death to those locals. But there was a mistake in the implementation of his jihua, and he didn't do it well, and it was discovered that he did it.
At this time, public opinion in the south was in an uproar, the revolutionary party killed the revolutionary party, a big deal!
At this time, it was just a big matter of killing a person, if Sun Wen handled it well. The deterioration of the situation could have been avoided. Chen Jiongming did not do the right thing, but if he wants to replace Yang Xiaolin, he will definitely support Chen Jiongming. If it is replaced by Yuan Shikai, Lao Yuan is estimated to transfer Chen Jiongming out of Guangzhou first. Then drag the matter until everyone has no anger, or drag it until Chen Jiongming is good to clean up and then solve it.
Mr. Sun Wen chose the most fair way to deal with it. Sun Wen obviously didn't understand, there were some things. Either justice is right.
Everyone said that Chen Jiongming's indiscriminate killing of revolutionary comrades should be dealt with seriously, and Sun Wen himself thought that no matter what, Chen Jiongming's use of assassination methods against his own comrades was somewhat unreasonable. Mr. Sun Wen has always been very upright, and he believes that Chen Jiongming should give an explanation. So he sent out an electrification. Chen Jiongming was asked to come to Nanjing to explain the cause of Wang Heshun's death and the indiscriminate killing of revolutionary soldiers.
Chen Jiongming's heart suddenly chilled when he received the order!
Is he a weishenme to kill? He has no grudges against those people, and weishenme wants to kill them? If you Sun Wen can get some severance pay and use it like this? Help you do things, help you carry infamy, everything you do is to give you a stable Guangzhou.
No matter how much others scolded, he pretended not to hear even if the alliance would scold people, because Chen Jiongming wanted to help Sun Wen realize that ideal, which was their common ideal! As long as that step is achieved, let him die. He was even ready to carry the black pot afterwards.
But when Sun Wen asked him to explain, he was really angry! That's a heartache of rage!
Do you want to explain? Well, then I'll give you an explanation.
Chen Jiongming put his Metropolitan Governor's seal on the table, and whoever wanted to take it would take it. I'll go to Nanjing, I'll give you an explanation!
And so it got worse. Those troops who were already frightened to leave Guangzhou saw that this devil was gone, and someone supported them, so they became bolder, and turned around and returned to Guangzhou, and various troops re-established camps outside Guangzhou, this time not only asking for military salaries, but also Chen Jiongming's head!
If Sun Wen changes his tune now and lets Chen Jiongming turn around, things can still take a turn for the better. However, he actually accepted Chen Jiongming's resignation and let Hu Hanmin go to Guangzhou to stabilize the situation.
Hu Hanmin urgently took office in Guangzhou, he learned the lesson of Chen Jiongming, and thought of taking some money out to appease those soldiers outside, and to reason with those people, talk about the current difficulties, and let those soldiers think more about the country and the nation.
One team left after considering the country and the nation, but the front foot just left, and the back foot saw that the two teams could get a little money, and here they are again! As a result, there were more and more teams coming to Guangzhou, and Hu Hanmin went to reason every day, saying that one person would come to two people, and two people would come to four people, but he only had one mouth in his body, and he couldn't say it.
Weishenme, a wealthy man in the city of Guangzhou, supports Chen Jiongming? It's because they don't want those GIs to mess around outside. How do you do business if you fire a few guns today, a few shots tomorrow, and come in from time to time for a walk, and take things without giving money under the banner of revolutionary soldiers?
Also, the money is just a little, Hu Hanmin gave it to the people outside, and the soldiers in the city couldn't keep up with the salary. At the instigation of the local merchants, the troops inside also made a disturbance, and they made trouble in a more radical way than those outside.
We are the revolutionary army recognized by Governor Chen Jiongming, and those guys outside are here to make trouble! Do you have money to give them or not to us?
These people originally thought that Chen Jiongming was right, and Chen Dudu was more haode people? Now the whole south can be fed and paid, thanks to him! It was the guys outside who forced him away, and now they dare to come outside the city to show off their might, and give them our military pay?
When we are muddy or do we think we are carrying burning sticks?
Two things, first, drive this surnamed Hu away! Let him fuck off! Second, didn't the group of grandsons outside want to make trouble? Don't you want Chen Dudu's head? Let's ask if we agree! Enough to plant now carry a gun and fight those grandchildren!
Who didn't plant? Once the GIs are passionate, everyone has a kind! What's more, many people with status in the city also encouraged them and told them that the people of Guangzhou supported them, and the gunshots rang out like this. (To be continued......)
