Chapter 231: Encirclement and Counterattack
The next day, the provisional government of Dayong issued a statement: "The newly established revolutionary government must accept the leadership of the Dayong government, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebel regime and will be requisitioned soon." ”
Of course, the Dayong government is not without other preparations.
The delegation headed by Zhang Taiyan will visit Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong in advance to further explain the policies of the People's Party, and the two sides will send representatives to hold talks.
The meeting pointed out that the biggest contradiction at present is not the domestic contradiction, but the contradiction between the revolutionary regime and the decadent Qing government, and the contradiction between the interests of the Chinese people and imperialism.
Moreover, after the unanimous decision of the high-level of Dayong, as long as the landlords are willing to give up their land, they will not be held accountable for those who do not have debts and human lives in their hands, and their property will not be confiscated.
Due to the deep roots of the old Baath Party in Zhejiang and the relatively developed handicraft industry in Zhejiang, the land is very barren and the output is limited, and the high-level people who hold the power are no longer the landlords who rely on the land for food. Therefore, the meeting was very successful in Zhejiang.
Xu Xilin soon led the army to peacefully take over Zhejiang Province, and those who had the revolutionary will of the former high-level officials in Zhejiang Province could join the new government through training in the cadre school, and some were given idle posts.
In Jiangsu and Guangdong, the negotiations did not go well. Guangdong Province, where the League has a very deep power, is still oscillating between Sun Yat-sen and Wang Yong.
However, the landlord forces in Jiangsu Province, especially in northern Jiangsu, are very strong, and the industrial and commercial class and the landlord forces are in contention, and no results can be obtained for a long time.
And Wang Yong is not in a hurry at this time. The Fourth Army was left to engage in the work of filling and land reform in the newly liberated provinces of Hubei and Hunan.
And he and Ginny personally led the First Army towards Sichuan.
The old army in Sichuan was very strong, and the new army and the Qing army fought fiercely, and even some areas were bloodily suppressed.
Fortunately, the leader of the new army in Yunnan was Cai Jie, a party member who had already joined the People's Party, and after a meeting in Dayong, it was decided that Cai Yi would lead the troops north and liberate Sichuan together with the First Army.
Of course, these chaos are just a ripple in the new era.
Another, more important Pai Manchu was realized in South China.
Now it seems that the measures of the Dayong provisional government are relatively modest.
Resources were effectively utilized, and in Jingzhou, the only city controlled by Dayong, all the men were killed and the women were distributed or auctioned.
However, in Guangzhou, Jiangning, and Hangzhou, the newly established revolutionary governments, the entire city was basically slaughtered, leaving not a single men, women, and young left.
Centuries of resentment have been washed away a little in the blood of the city.
For example, the newly appointed governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Song Shou, and the heads of his family were hung on the head of Hangzhou City.
Everyone smeared the severed heads of the people with fire oil, and paraded through the streets with poles and forks, which was called the "Torch Festival".
Wang Yong couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he heard these news, and one of his goals in coming to this world has been realized in stages.
Britain, Japan, and France met in Singapore to prepare sanctions and crackdowns on the nascent regime, and an unexpected role was added to it: Germany.
At this time, Wilhelm II abandoned the policy that Bismarck had envisioned to support China in the East against British-backed Japan.
He advocated the "Yellow Peril Theory" and advocated that the West should attack and even massacre Japan and China in the East.
Although there were deep contradictions between Britain and Germany, Britain and France, an unprecedented agreement was reached in the fight against the countries of the East, under the strong advocacy of Wilhelm II.
For Britain and France, which have deep interests in China, Wang Yong's confiscation of the railways built by the two countries in China and the development of mines are completely intolerable.
After a joint meeting of the four powers, they issued the Singapore Joint Declaration, which stated that the Qing government was the sole legitimate government representing China and did not recognize the legitimacy of the Dayong regime.
So the British decided to march from Burma to Yunnan to help the Qing government put down the rebellion.
Japan and Germany formed a naval and land alliance and planned to land from Zhejiang to strike at the nascent regime.
France was preparing to march from Vietnam to Liangguang to strike at the nascent regime.
The situation was critical for a while.
Wang Yong decided to attack the British and French who were attacking, and he personally led the First Army against the British army.
The Cantonese side panicked when they saw the French intervention, and the long-pending negotiations were quickly negotiated and accepted the leadership of the Dayong government.
Therefore, Wang Yong sent Zhu Fei to lead the Fourth Army to resist the French.
Zhang Zhen sat in charge of the central government and continued to implement reforms.
Xu Xilin, on the other hand, sat in Hangzhou, resisting the Japanese and German coalition forces alone, focusing on defense.
For a time, the nascent regime entered a great crisis, but it was also an excellent opportunity, a good opportunity for the KPA to be reborn.
The U.S. government, on the other hand, declared its neutrality on the matter, but on the other hand, criticized the interference formed by the Four-Power Coalition as seriously undermining the balance of interests in China and destroying the common market.
The people also expressed solidarity with the Dayong regime.
Needless to say, overseas Chinese are all very worried about the Dayong regime, which seems to be in turmoil at this time.
It also spontaneously donated money and materials, and secretly transported it through various channels to support the anti-Japanese war of Yongguo.
In the middle of summer, as soon as Wang Yong entered Sichuan, the Qing army that counterattacked was wiped out immediately, without much effort.
On the one hand, Wang Yong transferred cadres from the central region to carry out land reform in Sichuan, and on the other hand, he met with the new army brought by Panzhihua and Cai Yi for reorganization and training.
Quickly entered Yunnan and fought against the Qing army in a few days.
At this time, the fastest was the Fourth Army led by Zhu Fei, which won a victory over the French army in Qinzhou, which is known as the great victory of Qinzhou.
France's power in the Far East was already relatively weak, not to mention the great victory of the Qing army in Zhennanguan in the Qing Dynasty, not to mention the Dayong whose soldiers and equipment were far superior to those of the Qing Dynasty.
Wang Yong issued an order that the Fourth Army should not stop, continue to move south, and liberate Annam.
The French army encountered a head-on attack from the Fourth Army in Qinzhou, which was actually the artillery fire of the Fourth Army was fiercer and the charge was more ferocious.
The French withdrew directly to Indochina without even thinking about it.
It is not once or twice that they have suffered losses at the hands of the Chinese, and if it were not for the crazy president of the country, Fallier, who would not want to live a happy life for a few days.
Who in Hanoi did not have a few gentle Vietnamese lovers, and even France was reluctant to go back, let alone go on an expedition to China.
But the happy days in Hanoi did not last two days.
Lieutenant General Basile was lying by the pool, enjoying the costumes of two Vietnamese maids, and although it was the height of summer, he felt a hint of shade and comfort under the tall parasols, and he squinted his eyes, and almost fell asleep.
At this time, the adjutant suddenly rushed in with a telegram.
"What's the matter?" Basille sat up and said lazily.
"The Chinese crossed the border and marched towards Hanoi."
"What?!" Basille frowned slightly: "Are you sure it's not a border conflict, let it go." ”
"It's not! They! The adjutant was not finished.
A violent cannon fire exploded in front of the courtyard, and the dust was flying, and the quiet and beautiful scene of summer was gone.
"Crazy, a bunch of crazy people......" Basil had a panic and dazed look on his face.
