At that time, the Ping, Liu and Li uprisings launched by the Tongmenghui organization had failed. The emperor's dream was shattered, and he died or fled. Liu Daoyi and Wei Zongquan, who were sent by the Tongmenghui headquarters, were arrested and killed by the government.∷∷, when the news reached Japan, everyone in the Tongmenghui felt infinite grief for it. Beichen also wrote poems to express deep condolences.

And just as he was mourning, the Revival Society raised the flag of righteousness again, setting off a climax of the revolution. Fangcheng, Qinzhou, Lingshan and other counties were easily restored, and thousands of Qing troops were wiped out, and they were still rushing forward without showing any decline.

It's true that people are so angry that people are more angry. Tens of thousands of heroes from the world were mobilized here, but they were suppressed by the Qing army within half a month. It is said that there are only a few thousand people there, but they are fighting so well and are unstoppable. Are the Qing soldiers over there all made of paper?

Failure is already very uncomfortable, but it was stolen by the Revival Society again. Don’t mention how depressed the Tongmenghui is.

After the failure of the Pingliuli Battle, "the relationship between Gelaohui and the Tongmenghui was discovered by the Qing court. Qing officials such as Zhang Zhidong, Duan Fang and Cen Chunxuan all believed that this battle was a conspiracy between Gelaohui and the Tongmenghui, so they ordered the arrest of the main members of the Tongmenghui." The Japanese government, under the pressure of the Qing court, spent a sum of money and sent Beichen out of the country. At the same time, the Qing court strictly investigated, which directly led to the inability of the Minbao to import the mainland, and the sales were reduced by half. Not only was the printing fee and rent difficult to pay, but sometimes even the food was not available, and it could no longer raise self-sufficient funds like before (this was said by Zhang Taiyan later).

Just when he suffered consecutive setbacks and was depressed and sluggish, a news suddenly spread. The reason why the Revolutionary Army of the Revival Society was able to be in full swing in Guangxi was that Lu Rongting, the leader of the Qing Army Patrol Army, was helping. The supply of ammunition and materials, and even Lu Rongting sent people to assist the revolutionary army, made the progress of the revolutionary army smoothly, but the credit was all occupied by the Revival Society. In order to lead the revolution and expand its influence, the Revival Society deliberately concealed the facts and ate alone.

It's too disrespectful and too despicable. Many people in the Tongmenghui had not yet figured out whether this was a rumor. They started making a big fuss under the control of the excited emotions. Some people found the branch of the Fuxing Society and strongly demanded that the Fangcheng Uprising be distributed to the Tongmenghui by half; others wrote articles and strongly demanded that the Minbao publication be published to correct the reputation of the Tongmenghui and strive for merit. They praised the revolutionary spirit and actions of the Tongmenghui member Lu Rongting.

The branch of the Revival Association sent people to clarify that the Fangcheng Uprising was done by us and had nothing to do with your Tongmenghui; Lu Rongting, he was a military officer of the Qing court and the commander of the patrol army. We don’t know whether he was a member of the Tongmenghui, but he did not assist in the uprising.

Nonsense, lying with your eyes open. Without Lu Rongting's release and help, you can capture several cities with just a few thousand people? You can beat the Qing army to scream? You won't believe it if you kill him!

What? Minbao refused to publish a clarification article, because it was because it had not figured out the truth. It was weak and too weak. It was mostly because Huang Xing was suppressing it. It seemed calm and calm, but in fact it was a weak compromise. If you don't post it, I'll go to another newspaper.

Newspapers from other Tokyo families were the first to publish this news under the secret operation of the Revival Society. The rumors spread rapidly. In the midst of the constant quarrel, the ears of the Qing court's spies were all grinding out. The news kept coming back to China, and many newspapers with unknown situations were also spread. The riots were so terrifying, how could the Qing court not know?

Lu Rongting was born in the "Three Dots Association". This is an underground gang that "anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty"! After checking his resume, he first defected to the Jing army of Tang Jingsong and participated in the Sino-French War; later he was abolished and abandoned as You Yong, occupying the mountain and becoming the king; then he was recruited and organized into Jianzi Camp and gradually promoted. What is this, it is capricious and has ulterior motives!

Look, Lu Rongting has really been to Japan and stayed in Tokyo for a month. Tokyo. The revolutionary party’s base camp is everywhere. Well, now it’s a match. Lu Rongting is indeed a big spy lurking inside our army. No wonder the Revolutionary Army fought smoothly. It turned out that this guy was secretly causing trouble!

"Investigate and deal with it quickly, and do not raise a tiger to cause trouble." "Be sure to recover all lost land within ten days and eliminate the rebellious party. Otherwise, the leader of the army will be executed; the governor will be dismissed from his post and relieve the crime of Beijing!"

The Qing court's strict orders came one after another. Guangxi Governor Zhang Mingqi issued a death order to the front line commander Long Jiguang and Lu Rongting, threatening the crime of killing and dismissing Beijing. At the same time, he sent a secret letter to Long Jiguang and the Guangdong New Army who came to assist, asking them to closely monitor Lu Rongting's troops and deal with it if there is any abnormal movement.

The occurrence of this series of events is not long or short, only three or four days. The Qing court's handling was quick, and Zhang Mingqi's handling was also very meticulous, but Lu Rongting suffered.

"We want our army to be the vanguard and recover Zhennan Pass within seven days. Otherwise, Chen Bingkun, who is guarding the pass, will be executed by Huang Futing; I will also be dismissed from office and discharged from Beijing for crimes!" Lu Rongting, who was originally thinking of preserving his strength and was trying to delay time, never expected that this result would be waiting for.

After the rare progress of the small fight, Lu Rongting had to go to command himself, with Chen Bingkun and Huang Futing leading the troops as the vanguard, forming a bamboo staircase, a saber team, and a medicine bag team to fight to the revolutionary army positions of Fengwei Mountain, Daqing Mountain and Xiaoqing Mountain outside the Zhennanguan Fort. One day, the Qing soldiers fought hand-to-hand combat five times, killing and wounding hundreds of people. The flag of the revolutionary army was still flying proudly on the top of the mountain.

"Sir, the situation is not good!" Lin Junting looked around and leaned closer and whispered: "In theory, if you want to attack Zhennan Pass, three routes should go out together to fight the rebels by siege on three sides. But you see, Long Jiguang led his troops to the left of our army, and the Guangdong New Army was on the right of our army, and it was in the back position, and did not advance in parallel with our army. This layout mark seems very problematic!"

Lu Rongting frowned. He also saw the problem, but he was puzzled and didn't understand why.

Just as he was thinking hard, someone came from outside to report that the messenger sent by the Revolutionary Army. Lu Rongting hesitated for a long time before he decided to receive it. After reading the letter, Lu Rongting was shocked and stared at the messenger for a long time.

"Tongmeng will harm me!" After a while, Lu Rongting stood up angrily and shouted in great angrily.

What is this? It was said that it was a secret membership, but how could he get himself out? Now, Zhang Mingqi sent Long Jiguang and Guangdong New Army to monitor him, forcing him to fight with the Revolutionary Army and kill people with a knife!

What kind of merit is to fight for? The revival meeting is based on strength, strong people, sufficient money and food, and complete equipment. Can it be fought for by words? Without the strength of others, but jealous of others' achievements. How could the Tongmenghui produce such a guy?

Lu Rongting never dreamed that Revival would reveal the news, let alone that Chen Wenqiang was behind the scenes. The telegram was very fast, but he only knew about cable telegrams. Where did he know that the Revolutionary Army already had a radio station, although it was bulky, it could have fast contact with the outside world. The Revolutionary Army captured the city and defeated the officers and soldiers, and these news spread quickly. It inspires people's hearts, inspires the spirit of the revolutionaries, and expands the revolutionary influence of the Revival Society.

"Mr. Chen said, Commander Lu fought well today, please continue tomorrow." The messenger said with a teasing smile: "In order to get Commander Lu out of suspicion, Mr. Chen has added machine guns to several positions and will use artillery to increase the degree of tragic. It is estimated that if there are another 1,800 casualties, the Qing court will almost believe Commander Lu."

"If your army could give up Zhennan Pass within five days, I, Lu, would have a heavy thanks. As long as Mr. Chen speaks and asks for money and guns, Lu, will do his best to satisfy him." Lu Rongting was in a mess and made a pity and helpless final effort.

The messenger almost laughed out loud and waved his hand and said, "Commander Lu, you think it's too simple. Even if we let you take Zhennan Pass within a deadline, do you think you can still get the trust of the Qing court? If you ask you to go to Guilin or Beijing to receive merits and rewards, do you dare to go? Mr. Chen also said that you are a sensible person, and it seems that he is wrong."

Lu Rongting stared straight at him, sighed for a long time, and sat in the chair dejectedly, constantly stroking his forehead.

The messenger didn't understand the truth, but he struggled desperately. He regretted that he shouldn't have contacted the Revolutionary Army at the beginning and had a reputation of false and deceitfulness. Moreover, if he took the initiative to surrender at that time, he would not be as close as he was now.

Moreover, now he seemed to have no other choice. He knew he could not defeat the revolutionary army. The fires spurted on the top of the mountain and the grenades thrown down. After the attack on this day, the hillside and the corpse at the foot of the mountain were already scared. If the battle was not done, the Long Army and the Guangdong New Army were holding him and forcing him to fill his lives. If the losses of the patrol army could be exchanged for renewed trust, it would be worth fighting.

But Lu Rongting didn't know what kind of virtue was that Lu Rongting. During the Sino-French War, people were employed in the front line, and once they compromised and made peace, they would not have to go back and all were abolished. There were also Liu Yongfu and Su Yuanchun, who had great military achievements. The court was not suspicious and prevented the fall. After several suppressions, one was idle at home, and the other was even sent to serve as a military force and died in a foreign land.

"Mr. Chen said that if Commander Lu could revolt anyway, the conditions before would not change." The messenger was a good man to observe his face and gave Lu Rongting the final reason to make up his mind. "The Qing Dynasty was exhausted, and it was only a time to perish, and it would take less than five years at most. Commander Lu devoted himself to the revolution at this time and would be the hero when the revolution was successful. If Commander Lu wanted to have a quiet life, the revival would be huge overseas and could also be arranged properly."

Lu Rongting sighed silently, stood up suddenly, as if he had regained the courage and perseverance he had when he was young and fought with the French army. He bowed his hand to the messenger and said with a sigh: "Mr. Lu has figured it out. Mr. Chen has a lot of people and does not care about Lu's previous confusion, which makes Lu feel ashamed. He surrendered this time anyway, and he is willing to drive him, and he will not change and have no other intentions."

…………………

When the cannons and guns were not fired on the battlefield, only the Rong army shouted and rushed towards Guancheng, and after entering, they did not turn around. Long Jiguang, who was responsible for monitoring and supervising the battle, woke up. Lu Rongting was actually a revolutionary party.

Speaking of which, he and Lu Rongting were both promoted by Cen Chunxuan when he was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and were two armed forces that stabilized Guangxi. Although there were also competitions for favor and profit, they still knew each other well. He did not believe that Lu Rongting was a revolutionary party, and for this reason, he also argued with Governor Zhang Mingqi.

But the fact is the fact. Lu Rongting defected to the Revolutionary Army, not only slapped him in the face, but also reduced the strength of the Qing army. The Guangdong New Army also greeted him in advance. Zhennan Pass is under Guangxi, and they are the guest army. They are unfamiliar with the terrain and can only assist.

Pingxiang, Liuzhou and other places had more than 1,000 patrol troops, and the Long Army headquarters had six battalions and nearly 2,000 troops. With the assists from the Guangdong New Army, Long Jiguang felt that in terms of military strength, he could compete with the Revolutionary Army.

Therefore, Long Jiguang quickly woke up from his shock. While sending people to report to the governor Zhang Mingqi, he also adjusted the speed of the deployment and launched an attack on the revolutionary army that defended his positions.

Let’s talk about Lu Rongting first, lead his men to Zhennan Pass, immediately put down his weapons as agreed, line up on the streets in a regular manner, and pass through the city. At this time, the conditions are not allowed. The Revolutionary Army accepts you, which is to give face. Look at the arrangement of the Revolutionary Army, there are guns on the city and under the city, and they are extremely prepared. I am afraid that you will be a fraudulent surrender and seize the city!

"General Lu, and all the officials, please come here." The messenger was still the one who smiled and reached out to invite him, leading Lu Rongting and others to a large mansion.

People are the slaughter and I am the fish. Lu Rongting smiled bitterly and entered the hall with a sense of anxiety.

"General Lu, welcome!" Chen Wenqiang came up with several officers, smiling kindly, "Brother Chen Sheng, I have been waiting for a long time."

"Mr. Chen." Lu Rongting hurriedly bowed his hands and apologized with shame. "Lu didn't know the current affairs before and fought with the revolutionary army. It is a crime that deserves death. Wan Wang hopes that Mr. Chen will forgive his crime and forgive his crime."

"Give up the dark and turn to the light, you can go past the front. Let's play the drums again, open them, and look at them with your eyes open." Chen Wenqiang smiled and grabbed Lu Rongting's arm, led him to the seat, signaled him to ask for a seat, and enthusiastically greeted everyone to sit down.

With He Xi's smile on his face, Chen Wenqiang slowly spoke, "As the saying goes, "I don't know each other without fighting. Before, they were all for their own masters, but now they are united. The previous grudges are all written off, so no one should mention them again. From now on, everyone is a member of the revolutionary army, all of which are robes, and they must fight side by side and unite with sincerity. General Lu, what do you think?"

"It should be like this, it should be like this." Lu Rongting hurriedly stood up and expressed his opinion, "Before, my brother and his subordinates took the wrong path, but now I am sincerely abandoning the darkness and turning to the light. Please don't miss the old days and accept it enthusiastically."

Chen Wenqiang nodded with a smile, signaled Lu Rongting to sit down, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "It is no problem to be enthusiastic about accepting. I have done my job well, and no one dares to discriminate against you. But the Revolutionary Army has the charter and rules of the Revolutionary Army. Even if you join in, you must abide by it. It is important to know that the military law is ruthless, and if you violate it, you will never be lenient."
