Chapter 67: Liberation of Sichuan
May 18, 19o8 (34th year of Guangxu), Chengdu.
The Qing court and later the Beiyang government have always called the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army "Wu Bandits", and this is known to everyone. But why it is called this is a topic of debate. The earliest Kyodo Society, and later the Chinese Science and Technology Party, did not have the odd interest in examining how a contemptuous name for one's own army came about. And the Qing court and Beiyang officials, who were enemies at the beginning, were either killed in battle, rectified the law or reformed through labor, and the rest did not want to mention or did not dare to mention this topic, and they really did not understand. Therefore, there are different opinions in later generations, and there are mainly the following kinds of theories.
1. The front of the O8 steel helmet of the Kyodo Army looks like a "vulture". (The O8-style steel helmet resembles the Imperial Stormtroop helmet with the mask and respirator removed.) Watch Star Wars brainstorming...... )
2. Some people disagree with the above statement, because when the title of "Wu Bandit" appeared, the O8 type steel helmet still only existed in the real Yàn room, and there was no army, and the mainstream at that time was the O6 type steel helmet (the original time and space US Army M1), and the front of this helmet looked more like a "few" word. In fact, the Qing court did initially call it "several bandits", but because some people wrote typos or were too sloppy, they were misread as "bandits", and later spread the word "bandits".
3. The helmet of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army is smooth and shiny, looking like a big bald head, and the bald head was called "vulture" in ancient times, and the "vulture" got its name from this.
4. Similar to the third type, but not about helmets, but about the revolutionary officers and soldiers themselves. For the convenience of their daily lives and the first care after injury, many of them have shaved into a large bald head, and even those who are not bald rarely have a head length of more than 5 mm. For example, Comrade Rossi, the first deputy commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army, has been showing off his big bald head all the year round. A large group of bald guys are armed, what is it that is not a "vulture"?
However, for Chen Kuilong, the current governor of Sichuan, these issues are not important. Because the "vultures" are about to hit Chengdu, most of the whole of Sichuan has fallen.
Governor Chen was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he roared as he circled: "It's the opposite! It's the opposite! This guy Wen Desi is really the opposite! I said a long time ago that he is not a good thing, but no one believes it, look, look...... He is the big leader of the bandits! Xiliang and Zhao Laosan are blind! You have raised a big thief! The old man was killed by you!"
At 6 o'clock this morning, the seven counties of Neijiang, Weiyuan, Longchang, and Zizhong were taken over by the Sichuan militia under Wen Desi at the same time. The whole process was as plain as water, and the Sichuan militia took over the county seat in the midst of the happy onlookers of the people, and even the officials and servants in the county government ran out of the yamen to greet them.
Oh, there are still some loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty? Oh, there are still any, but before the militia group entered the city, the bosses and colleagues around them changed their faces, and these "loyal ministers" were tied up and thrown into the prison to count lice.
The Sichuan People's League sent a telegram to reveal its identity, announcing that from now on, it would officially restore the identity of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army under the leadership of the Chinese Science and Technology Socialist Party, and that the armed forces such as the Sichuan People's League and the Xingke Group's security regiment would all be renamed the "Second Front Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army," and the troops under the former Wuchang branch would be included in the "First Front Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army." At the same time, Wen Desi also telegraphed in his own name to show his true identity: Chairman of the Central Committee of the Chinese Science and Technology Society, Chairman of the Military Committee of the China Science and Technology Party, and Commander-in-Chief of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army.
Wuchang immediately sent a telegram confirming the identity of Wen Desi and wishing Chairman Wen Desi and the comrades of the headquarters a smooth liberation of Sichuan.
At the same time, the revolutionary army that had already controlled the counties in eastern Sichuan completely turned its face, and all the officials in the county were detained, followed by a complete set of processes for the Yizhi Uprising. Because these places were completely infiltrated, the uprising was very peaceful, and it was done without firing a shot, and it was a complete formality.
Although several prefectures and prefectures such as Kuizhou Mansion and Shunqing Mansion are not completely peaceful, they also have little effort. As soon as 7 o'clock arrived, the peasants who sold vegetables, fishermen, sedan chairmen, grooms, coachmen, laborers, merchants, and new-style students in the city turned their faces, and they immediately drew their weapons hidden around them and began to attack the yamen and the city gates. Those who tried to resist could not close the gates, and they were quickly shot dead or disarmed by their colleagues. Subsequently, a large group of bandits rushed into the city......
In addition, the militia groups stationed along the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway also launched an uprising at 6 o'clock at the same time, and they rushed into the surrounding unsuspecting cities and took control of the yamen with lightning speed.
At 7 o'clock, the prefect of Chongqing Prefecture convened a meeting of his subordinates, and at this time, the news of the uprising in various places had not yet come. At the meeting, Guan Jing was suddenly in trouble, and a large group of soldiers rushed into the meeting hall and took control of the main officials of the city. Immediately, Guan Jing announced the change of banner in response to the uprising of Chairman Wen Desi.
At 8 o'clock, Chongqing Mansion, Kuizhou Mansion, Shunqing Mansion, Suiding Mansion, Baoning Mansion, Shunqing Mansion, Tongchuan Mansion, Jiading Mansion, Zhongzhou, Youyang Prefecture, Mianzhou, Zizhou, Taiping Hall, Shiyan Hall and other eight prefectures, four prefectures and two halls in eastern Sichuan and central Sichuan have all been liberated. Immediately, after taking control of these places, the revolutionary army immediately attacked and advanced towards the surrounding Qing court-controlled districts.
At 9 o'clock, Ziliujing (Zigong) and Fushun were conquered by the revolutionary army, and at 9:3o, Jianzhou (Jianyang) fell into the city.
By 11 o'clock, the three regiments of the revolutionary army had already advanced to Chengdu. At 12 o'clock, the revolutionary army sent a telegram in Xuzhou Mansion to announce the liberation of Xuzhou and Luzhou.
Xingke Group has been operating in Sichuan for so long, and all parts of the country have been infiltrated almost, and there are leading parties everywhere, and even the top leaders in many places are Xingke people. Therefore, once the army was raised, the situation was like dominoes, and in just one morning, most of the places in central Sichuan changed color. In more than a dozen state capitals and dozens of county heads, the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty fell to the ground, and the red flag of sickle and hammer was rising.
The degree of the Socialist Party was too fast, and their inner line in Chengdu cut off the telegraph line connecting Chengdu with the outside world at the first time, and by the time Chen Kuilong in Chengdu received the news of the rebellion of Wen Desi and Xingke, it was already past noon. At this time, the three infantry regiments of the revolutionary army had arrived in the southern suburbs of Chengdu and were facing the 17th Town.
....................................................................................
The constant bad news made Chen Kuilong's little face pale, and he shouted hoarsely: "Hurry up and inform Lord Zhao and let him return to the army to save Sichuan!"
The master next to him carefully reminded: "Make the station, the telegraph line has been cut by the bandits early in the morning, and the telegraph can't go out......"
"Suppress, we still have the Seventeenth Town, we will definitely be able to stop the ...... of the bandits," the other master reassured, although he didn't believe it himself.
"Zhao Laosan, this bastard, blame him for sucking away so many elites from the Seventeenth Town, this can kill the old man!" Chen Kuilong collapsed in frustration.
He still knows the situation of the seventeenth town of the new army, this army was not satisfied with the formation, and at the beginning of the year, Zhao Erfeng transferred a large number of elites to the "Pingzang Army" (this army was not established in the original time and space, and this time and space is the eighteenth town of the new army), and now most of the remaining soldiers are old and weak, although some new soldiers have been added, but it is only a quantitative supplement. However, this Chen Kuilong is a three-foot-high governor, and most of the military expenses have been lost. Now many recruits don't even have weapons, and even military uniforms are complete.
The actual combat strength of the current Seventeenth Town is probably less than five, and even if you encounter bandits who are a little stronger, you have to kneel. Now against the bandits who are armed to the teeth, it will be hellish if they can withstand it.
Chen Kuilong took a few breaths, and then scolded nervously: "Those damn Diao people! Actually beat gongs and drums to welcome the bandits, there are really too many Diao people in Sichuan! There are Diao people everywhere!"
Hearing him say this, several masters scolded in their stomachs. the mud horse, it's not that you scrape the ground too hard, not to mention the state-owned railway, and actually collect 3o years of taxes in advance!
But they also muttered these words in their stomachs, and they did not dare to say them.
At this moment, a horse ran in with a panicked expression.
The 17th Town was defeated at Wuguiqiao, and Zhu Qinglan, the commander of the system, was killed...... The bandits have arrived in the city......"
"What?" Chen Kuilong stood up suddenly.
"Boom~~~Boom~~~Boom~~~" At this time, there was a burst of artillery outside.
Another black-faced horse stumbled in and shouted, "Oh no, no, the city gate has been opened by spies, and the bandits have entered the city...... The bandits are coming!"
"It's over...... Chen Kuilong only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he fell down on his back.
The masters and Ma Benjia also had pale faces, originally they were supposed to go and help the governor immediately, but now no one moved. They looked at each other, and then at the unconscious Chen Kuilong, and their expressions gradually became strange......
"My lord, let's go quickly...... the loyal Ma Benyi hurriedly went up to help Chen Kuilong, and shouted to his colleagues: "Hey, you guys come to help, don't leave now...... Ah......h
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a pain in his vest, and he turned back with difficulty. At this time, Ma Benjia was holding a bloody dagger in his hand, and looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother, we don't want to finish with Lao Chen......"
"You...... You ......" Ma Benyi's vision gradually blurred, and he soon lost consciousness. The last voice he heard was: Quick, tie up Chen Kuilong and send him to the bandits, no, the revolutionary army, our lives will be saved!
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of May 18, some of the governor's subordinates arrested the governor Chen Kuilong and surrendered to the revolutionary army, and then the revolutionary army occupied the Sichuan Governor's Mansion and Chengdu was liberated!
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Desi's special train arrived in Chengdu. At 6 o'clock, the whole country was electrified, and the four Sichuan independence were declared and the Sichuan Provincial Government of the Chinese Scientific Socialism Party was formed.
