Chapter 117 Rebels

Thanks to Alin 2013, the Grave is the zzd family, Yongcan, naming the name in 1985, Sifei 28, destroying the little Japanese, freyja, the wrench-turned demon's vest and other book friends, I wish all my wishes come true and all the best.

If in the 20th century, the Huizhou Uprising fired the first shot of the Chinese revolution, which made the Chinese people understand and sympathize with the revolution, then the Wanning Uprising was a more influential and meaningful event.

First, the Wanning Uprising was a picture of writing, more realistic and more inspiring; secondly, the Uprising resounded and clearly put forward the purpose and slogan of the Revival Association, which was completely different from the nature of the rebellion and riots of the Party and the Party, which could greatly boost the confidence of the revolutionaries.

The Revolutionary Party is a general term. Although its ideas are consistent in overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, there are great differences in thought, strategy and behavior. It is not useful to rely on the mouth to rely on the words. Only success and performance in action are the real proof. It is potential stocks and high-performance stocks, so naturally some people will buy them; it is junk stocks, so few people will naturally care about them.

Regardless of whether the Wanning Uprising was not yet separated from the weakness of the old-style socialist uprising in its organization, it clearly reflected the influence of revolutionary ideas in propaganda, which had achieved the original purpose of the Revival Society.

But for Chen Wenqiang, who is in Qiongzhou, if he can gain more benefits through this uprising, why not do it?

At present, in Qiongzhou, only Yaxian is in the hands of the hidden Revival Society, and most immigrants are placed here. To mobilize more immigrants, they must have a larger territory and must be a relatively safe and stable place. After all, poverty is poverty, but no one wants to live in a turbulent place.

Wan Ning was about to come. Chen Wenqiang ordered Xu Chunshan to lead his troops to the southeast to attack Lingshui; he urged Zheng Hongming to march towards Qionghai, which was to capture cities and plunder land and expand its influence, and to expand its space for activities. Be prepared to fight against the Qing army heading south from Qiongya (Haikou).

Xu Chunshan's troops had only more than 100 people, and the guns were incomplete, so it was obviously difficult to attack Lingshui. But this was only seen on the surface. In fact, Wu Luzhen had led more than 300 people to open a base and would meet with Xu Chunshan's troops. He attacked Lingshui and Baoting under the banner of the rebel army. This had two purposes: one was to significantly expand the control area of ​​the Fuxing Society from Yaxian, and the second was to train the team through actual combat and increase the soldiers' practical experience.

At the same time, the merchant armed forces in Yaxian County also began to mobilize armed forces, under the banner of protecting the country and safeguarding the people, but were ready to support the battle in time, or "recapture the lost land" from the rebels.

Obviously, Zheng Hongming was in high spirits and did not know that Chen Wenqiang had a secret ill-intention. Although some subordinates complained that Chen Wenzhong and the law enforcement team were too strict, they did not have the opportunity to act recklessly, but the seized guns were generously plucked him most of them. When rewarding merits, he also satisfied the money and grains he took out from the treasury. In addition, the people in the county town were not only not harassed, but also shared some money and grains. The praise and compliments of him also greatly satisfied his vanity.

More than a thousand people, nearly 300 guns, and with three points of local area, the brothers responded, Zheng Hongjing was a very powerful armed force. He easily defeated Wanning and almost wiped out a sentry from the patrol battalion. Such a record made Zheng Hongming feel that the Qing army was just a matter of err. He was just struck while the iron was hot and made achievements.

The development of the situation seemed to be about as far as Zheng Hongming expected. He marched towards Qionghai. There was almost no resistance from the villages and towns along the way, and the troops were already not far from Qionghai County.

"The Qing army was scared to death. It seems that it is not impossible for Qionghai County to go down without fighting!" Zheng Hongming rode on the horse and said to Chen Wenqiang proudly.

"General Zheng's name of bravery must have been known to the Qing army. How dare you fight easily?" Chen Wenqiang praised, hoping that Zheng Hongming's mind would become hotter. "Maybe they all hid in the county town and wanted to use the moat to fight stubbornly!"

"The city wall can't stop us." Zheng Hongming waved his hand confidently, "We have not prepared a ladder, and there are brothers who are fearless, so it is not a problem to take down Qionghai."

Chen Wenqiang agreed with this. First, there were not many Qing troops in Qionghai County, and second, there were three local points that would secretly support them. If the attack was rapid and the attack was fierce enough, the rebels could do it across Qiongnan. If the troops and merchant regiments of the Fuxing Society were launched, the several patrol battalions in Qiongya soldiers would not be opponents. But now it is obviously not the time to restore Qiong. All the powers of the light and darkness were exposed, which is even more short-sighted.

Chen Wenqiang rode a horse onto a small mound and watched the team moving on the road. His clothes were still messy, but the sign was already there, that was, he had a red scarf tied around his neck. According to some people who were automatically puzzled, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, unified the Red Turban Army hundreds of years ago, expelled the Tartars, and restored China. Now the rebels also wanted to "hold ninety-nine steel knives in hand, killing Hu Er before stopping."

However, Chen Wenqiang's army should be a vast army wearing a steel helmet, neatly uniformed, with a rainbow of morale, and a complete gun and cannon. It is far from the troops in front of him, and it is even more incomparable to the Red Turban Army. Although Zheng Hongming was able to recruit more troops after conquering Wanning, the strict conditions set by Chen Wenqiang did not expand the rebel army too much.

The large number of people is no longer suitable for modern wars, but it has simply increased the logistics pressure and the difficulty of maintaining military discipline. The messy personnel are called "many soldiers and generals" which is an ancient war, an exaggeration in storytelling.

Few rebels who walked under the small mound dared to look at Chen Wenqiang, and they immediately bowed their heads to rush forward after a glance. In Wanning, Chen Wenqiang was killed. Corrupt officials such as Wang Xuqi, Qing soldiers in the patrol camp who participated in the robbery, rebel officers and soldiers who violated discipline, and robbers who took advantage of the situation were all executed in public without exception. This was no longer just to establish authority, but to clean up and rectify.

Zheng Hongming was not without any objection to this, but he was persuaded by Chen Wenqiang. Through this iron-fisted rectification, the complicated situation of the rebel army changed greatly. The leaders of each family were undermined and their subordinates were dispersed. The troops were organized into three battalions, led by Zheng Hongming, Li Jiajun and Huang Jiaqing. In this way, the mountains were flattened and the army could be unified, which was also beneficial to Zheng Hongming on the surface. But in essence, in addition to Li Jiajun's troops. Chen Wenqiang was not very optimistic about Zheng Hongming and Huang Jiaqing's troops. The reason is very simple. Li Jiajun was already a member of the Revival Society, and the troops were also controlled by the people sent by the Revival Society, which was trustworthy.
