In history, the White Wolf Uprising has many names, the White Wolf Uprising has already been said, in addition to the White Lang Uprising and the White Wolf Rebellion.

And the Bai Lang uprising among them is because the original name of the white wolf is Bai Lang, and the reason why it is called the white wolf is completely because of the homonym of the name.

There are two theories about Bai Lang's history, the first is that he once served under Wu Luzhen, the commander of the sixth town of the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty, as a staff officer. It was only later that Wu Luzhen was assassinated, so he returned to Henan to revolt.

The second theory is that in 1908, Bai Lang was beaten and falsely accused by the landlord of the Wang family in his village, and was imprisoned. Later, Bai Lang took his own horses to a certain horse team in Yu County, but finally absconded due to blackmail, and returned to Liangwa, where the horses were snatched away by the township team.

At the same time, Henan has been in drought for several years in recent years, and local officials have levied and expropriated money, and it happened that Bai Lang was holding back his anger at this time, and the rest of the things can be imagined.

(Wu Luzhen was a very famous officer in the late Qing Dynasty, in 1896 Huguang Governor Zhang Zhidong newly organized the military camp, the following year was admitted to the Hubei Military Academy, in the winter of 1898 was selected to the first phase of the Japanese non-commissioned officer school to learn the cavalry section, and Zhang Shaozeng, Lan Tianwei, and called "three non-commissioned officers".) But then again, this so-called non-commissioned officer Sanjie doesn't seem to have created any fame in history. In addition, although Wu Luzhen was nominally one of the most important military officers in the late Qing Dynasty, he was actually a member of the revolutionary party, and it was because of this relationship that he was secretly sent by Yuan Shikai to be dismissed by Wu in history. Zhou Fulin, the former co-commander of the Qing court, infiltrated Shijiazhuang and bribed Ma Huitian, the captain of Wu's guard, to assassinate him with a huge sum of 20,000 yuan, of course. In history, it is also said that the Qing court did this. However, it is not surprising, because Wu Luzhen is the commander of the sixth town, that is, the sixth town of the six towns in Beiyang, and it is said that he is still plotting to move his army north, if he is not solved, I am afraid that Yuan Shikai will also be in big trouble. ）

After returning from the Qing army, Bai Lang unveiled the uprising. Invested in the green forest family. And based on the sow gorge in Wuyang County, activities are carried around, because Henan at this time is a disaster year. There was no shortage of people everywhere, and because of the peace between the north and the south, the provinces withdrew their armies and a large number of soldiers were discharged. Bai Lang took the opportunity to recruit the retrenched soldiers. Buy arms. Expand your capabilities. The addition of a large number of defeated troops greatly improved the combat effectiveness of Bai Lang's army, and it was also the support of Bai Lang's ability to crisscross many provinces and repeatedly defeat officers and soldiers. In addition, there were 'green forest heroes' from all over the country vying to join, so by the spring of 1913, Bai Lang's team had 2 or 3,000 people.

Because this team gathers and disperses, and Bai Lang himself is well-informed, although the Henan government has sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times. But he never cleaned up Bai Lang.

Later, it even broke through Tang County, Lushan and Yu County, especially in Tang County, and wiped out most of the 59th Independent Regiment of the Army in one fell swoop. A large number of rifles, machine guns, cannons, and bullets were captured—————— which was the county town that was breached not long ago, but in fact, in addition to firearms, six cannons and two machine guns were captured.

Later, Yuan Shikai also mobilized troops to encircle and suppress Bai Lang, but in the end, Bai Lang rushed out of the encirclement composed of Lei Zhenchun and others, and the more troublesome it became...

In history, Henan and Lei Zhenchun and others were stationed in this way, so what will happen to Bai Lang now?

You must know that the situation of Bai Lang in Lu Dao is much better than in history, Lei Zhenchun's Beiyang Seventh Division has been stationed on the front line almost all the time, and there is no way to withdraw back. What's more, even if he comes back, it's useless, because now Lei Zhenchun's department is full of recruits who have just been replenished, and his combat effectiveness has seriously decreased, and it is not easy to solve Bai Lang's words...

It is also because of this that Bai Lang has a larger space for activities...

————————————————————

Bai Lang's troops were already powerful, and there was an internal presence in Tang County, so the process of the bandit army breaking through Tang County was very smooth, and they quickly solved the defenders of Tang County, and incorporated some of the defenders into their own troops, plus all kinds of ordnance seized from the defenders, and soon Bai Lang's troops grew a little stronger.

"Commander, where do we go next?"

After coming out of Tang County, the young man who had been following Bai Lang asked curiously.

Hearing the young man's question, the others also came up with some curiosity.

To be honest, as some bandits who have no revenge, they really want to live in the county like this. After all, it's better to live in the county than to live in that sow gorge or some wild country with a mosquito bite, not to mention...

The women in the city are much whiter and tenderer than those in the country...

Although the Bai Lang bandit army is very famous in history and is stronger than the ordinary bandit army, in fact, the bandit army is the bandit army, generally speaking, if the robbing rich can meet their needs, they may not harass the people, but if they are not satisfied with the rich in the city, the next will turn their attention to the people...

For this point, Xiong Bin of Shangcheng County, Henan Province, in "The Lost Story of the Mall", has a detailed record of the siege of the Bai Lang Army and the behavior after the siege. Lu Zhiyu, a native of Lu'an, Anhui Province, also recorded the actions of Bai Lang's army after attacking Lu'an in "Bai Lang's Disturbance of Li'an".

It's just that Bai Lang knows very well that although he seems to be very majestic now, in fact, the strength in his hands is not enough to compete with the large number of officers and soldiers, if he keeps moving around, it may be nothing, but if he stays in a city, then what awaits him will be a dead end, which is also the reason why his subordinates are unwilling to continue to wander, and he still leaves Tang County with his subordinates.

"Next, go to Lushan..."Lowering his head and thinking about it, Bai Lang said.

"Lushan..."Hearing Bai Lang say this, everyone else was also happy, because Lushan is also a big county town, if you can capture it, it will be of great benefit to everyone...

At the same time, after learning the news that Tang County had been breached, nearby officers and troops also hurried over.

If Bai Lang just kept his original plan. Perhaps his troops would collide with the officers and troops who were coming. It's just that I don't know if Lu Dao got any news, or if it was instinctive and intuitive, when he was about to arrive in Lushan, Bai Lang actually shot him. The original target was changed from Lushan to nearby Yu County.

In the face of the huge Bai Lang bandit army, the defenders of Yu County, who were already empty of troops on the front line, simply fled without a fight, so that Bai Lang easily captured Yu County, and also got 500 guns.

After looting Yu County, Bai Lang refocused his target on Lushan County.

And at this time, at least in the area near Lushan, no one dared to interfere with Bai Lang...

————————————————————

To Bai Lang this person. and the banditry he set off, neither Yan Shao nor the people of Beiyang paid much attention to it at the beginning. Because in their eyes, this is just a bandit, and bandits and so on are very common in this day and age. Except for Anhui, because the National Social Army carried out some encirclement and suppression a few days ago, and then often took care of the sanitary environment in the province, resulting in basically no bandits and bandits in the province, other provinces can be said to be full of bandits. This is especially true in some of the devastated provinces...

So in the case of not being surprised. Everyone didn't take the banditry in Henan seriously...

Even Yan Shao, who came from later generations, was the same, because there was no part related to Bai Lang in his memory. Of course, it may also be because he didn't listen to much lectures in class at the beginning, so he didn't remember this Jiangyang thief who was also a little famous in Chinese history.

But it was precisely because he didn't know Bai Lang's identity that he felt contemptuous of him.

If he knew that this Bai Lang had been raging until 1914 not long after the establishment of the Republic of China, and even gave Yuan Shikai and other high-level Beiyang leaders a headache, I am afraid that Yan Shao would be much more cautious.

But now, Yan Shao's attitude towards Bai Lang is still the same as usual. I don't think much of it...

It's just that Yan Shao soon had to admit that he was really blind to this Bai Lang.

In the original history, this Bai Lang once turned several provinces such as Henan, Hubei and Anhui upside down. What's more, in the current environment, Bai Lang has a feeling of being at home.

In addition, at this time, the Beiyang Army was almost concentrated on the front line, and the troops responsible for garrisoning Henan basically had little combat effectiveness, and they were not Bai Lang's opponents at all. So after capturing Lushan, Bai Lang did not sneak into Hubei as in history, and then transferred to Nanyang in Henan, but directly wreaked havoc in the southern part of Henan.

There is such a big group of rebels in the city behind him, if Feng Guozhang can come down with peace of mind, then he is really too powerful.

What's more, as long as Bai Lang's troops go to the east, they can threaten the Jinghan Railway, which will be a big trouble, not to mention that Feng Guozhang's troops now have many materials that need to be transported through the Jinghan Railway, and the role of the Jinghan Railway in the north-south economy alone is extremely important.

The problem is that the front line is tight now, and if Feng Guozhang wants to send troops to exterminate Bai Lang, I am afraid that it will be difficult to send a sufficient number of troops out...

It was also at this time that Bai Lang, who had been active in the southern part of the country, did not know why he began to operate in the central part of the country. And this means that Beiyang's control over the difficult ones is gradually weakening, and it is weakening to a considerable extent...

————————————————————

In the conference room of the Governor's Mansion, everyone, including Yan Shao, was looking at the relevant report.

Recently, the ammunition consumption on the front line has been very large, and the current inventory of the National Socialist Army alone may not be able to support it for too long, so the army sent a telegram back from the front line, hoping that Yan Shao could urge the Germans through telegrams and other means, so that they could send the ammunition needed by the army as soon as possible, otherwise, the machine guns used by the front-line troops may not be anything, but the hundreds of artillery pieces of the troops are afraid that they will all be muted.

If that is the case, I am afraid that the National Socialist Army will fall into a situation of being passively beaten for the first time.

As for grenades and ordinary bullets, this one is not a problem for the time being.

In terms of guns and ammunition, the National Socialist Army already has a large reserve, and as for the arsenal, there is no need to expect it at all. Because with the current capacity of the arsenal, it is simply impossible to support a force of 80,000 people to fight for half a year—————— not to mention that this half year is only the minimum, and the maximum is probably one year.

As for grenades. At present, this thing is only equipped by the National Social Army and a few countries. Even if other countries are equipped, the model and use method will be very different from those used by the National Socialist Army, which can be seen from the wooden-handled grenades used by the National Socialist Army and the horsetail grenades used by the Japanese.

Forget about having a tail made out of hemp rope. This grenade is actually used in a bump way...

In this era, there are not many troops equipped with helmets, that is, not every country's troops are in a position to knock grenades on their heads. If you're not careful, you'll even be stupid...

Because of this, at present such grenades are produced by the National Socialist Army itself, and because the arsenal has been producing this weapon for a long time, the stock is very large. There's no need to worry about consumption at all, at least for now...

It's just that Yan Shao just gave the order to send a telegram to the Germans. When urging them to deliver the cannonballs and other things they needed as soon as possible, Wu Qianqiu suddenly walked to the door.

"Governor, Deputy Director Tang Litang said that he wanted to see you for something..."

When speaking, Wu Qianqiu did not show the slightest flaw, at least on the surface.

"Tang Li? Let her in..."Although it was a little strange what Tang Li wanted to do here at this time. However, Yan Shao still trusts Tang Li very much. So I invited him in very directly.

After getting Yan Shao's permission, Tang Li quickly walked in with a briefcase, and then saluted all the people in the room who were older than him—————— at least on the surface, almost everyone in the conference room at the moment except Wu Qianqiu had a higher military rank than Tang Li.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Tang Li coming in, Yan Shao asked a little strangely.

"That's it..."After saluting everyone, Tang Li hurriedly stepped forward two steps. The news that has just come out of Henan is that the chaotic army that was discovered some time ago has captured many cities in the south at this moment. I'm here to ask what to do with such a ......... Potential force contact? Or do you want to make contact with them? ”

"The rebels? Are you talking about the White Lang Rebellion? ”

I heard Tang Li talk about the chaotic army that he had discovered in the past. Yan Shao asked with some curiosity.

"That's right, it's them, and now these rebellious armies have grown to the point of four or five thousand people, and they are quite a huge force in Henan. If it was in Henan in the past, so many troops would be afraid of everyone except Lei Zhenchun, but now the situation is a little different...

"You mean Lei Zhenchun is gone?"

"Exactly, now Lei Zhenchun's Seventh Division is fighting us on the front line, if this Bai Lang can stab Yuan Shikai in the back at this time, then our chances of victory will definitely be greatly increased.

Hearing Tang Li say this, everyone present also started to talk.

Although the war was nominally at the junction of the three provinces, in fact there was more land in Henan on the Beiyang side, and relatively less land on the Shandong side.

It can't be helped, because this is determined by the map.

The problem is that the amount of ammunition that Beiyang needs to consume every day is almost an astonishing amount, and if Yuan Shikai wants to maintain this consumption, there are only two ways to choose between train or sea.

Generally speaking, shipping is generally required, but the problem is that there is no sea in Henan...

However, the Jinghan Railway in Henan is not very far from Nanyang, which Bai Lang has just washed, and if Bai Lang moves a little east, it will threaten the safety of the Jinghan Railway.

After that, whether it is the troops transferred from Beiyang, or the supplies from the rear, I am afraid that there will be a problem of interruption, and if there is not enough ammunition, I am afraid that the Beiyang side will also become quite troublesome.

Naturally, the possibility of the latter is very small, because if Bai Lang wants to intervene in the support of Yuan Shikai on the Jinghan Railway, then he will first need to move eastward, to be exact, in the northeast, that is, in the direction of Zhengzhou.

However, Zhengzhou is definitely a big city in Henan at this time, and Beiyang has a considerable number of garrisons in Zhengzhou, no matter who wants to threaten the security of Zhengzhou, they absolutely need to pass the garrison first.

Moreover, the garrison stationed in Zhengzhou is definitely not the defenders of Tang County or Lushan County, judging from the existing conditions on Bai Lang's side, it is not an easy task to conquer Zhengzhou.

"You say, is it possible for us to take advantage of this Bai Lang?"

Sitting next to the long table, one of the officials in the room asked softly.

In his opinion, if Bai Lang can make trouble behind Beiyang's back, the chances of victory of the National Social Army will be greatly improved. The problem is that there is a saying in the Chinese idiom that no profit is too early, if Yan Shao does not give Bai Lang enough profits, then it is impossible for him to let Bai Lang come forward to help.

In the end, it is only natural that there should be more ammunition and weapons.

However, at least in the eyes of the vast majority of people, it is still very cost-effective to provide assistance to Bai Lang.

Only Yan Shao was frowning slightly.

"Tang Li, you go and bring all the information about this Bai Lang, I want to take a closer look..."

"Yes!" Nodding, Tang Li said that she understood.

In a short time, Tang Li had already walked back with a lot of information. (To be continued......)
