There is a chapter that is still under review, and there is no way. After checking it eight times, I couldn’t find the banned keyword. I’m sorry here.

The ancient city of Yongchang has a long history and was built during the Kaiyuan period of the Nanzhao king. It was called "Zheyu City" during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. In the 14th year of Hongwu, it was destroyed by Silunfa of Luchuan. In the 16th year of Hongwu, it was built, and Taibao Mountain was classified as internally according to the plan of Nanjing City, and a unified layout was made for the construction of Yongchang City. The city walls in the east, south and north were two feet high, and the west wall was slightly shorter. In the 28th year of Jiajing, the West City was built, and Yongchang City developed into a city with a circumference of thirteen miles and fourteen steps, with eight majestic city gates.

Outside the ancient city, the river water drawn from Yiluochi and Mofanggou formed a moat and flowed eastward around the city.

The rainy season has passed, and it has not rained for five or six consecutive days. Many trees have fallen leaves, and the seasonal changes are obvious.

Yang Wenkai looked up at the spicy sun, patted the battlements casually, and a ball of dry dust rose in front of him. He frowned and walked forward two steps.

Although Yongchang was restored, Yang Wenkai was not satisfied. According to the strategic arrangement of the Revolutionary Army, this battle was to completely wipe out the Qing army in Yongchang, so that there would be no Qing army group that could pose a threat in southwestern Yunnan and northwestern Yunnan. However, more than 2,000 Qing troops guarding the city slipped away so quickly or in a panic. It was ideal to take the battle without fighting, but the Qing army retreating back to Dali made the revolutionary army need to stay troops to prevent, and the forces participating in the next stage of the battle could be reduced.

From the perspective of strategic situation, the Qing army was not optimistic, but seemed to be burdened. The important towns of Kunming, Dali, Chuxiong, Yao'an, Qujing, and Yuxi, plus the smaller county seats, the troops in Yunnan Province were stationed in separate areas, except for the heavy troops in Kunming. The mobile forces in other areas were actually short of their strength.

The size of the territory is developing proportionally to the size of the army. The Revolutionary Army has formulated development strategies to maximize self-reliance and support the war. The Revolutionary Army, which has undergone large-scale material supply, has broken through the bottleneck of weapons and equipment, and as long as the food and wage problem is solved, it can be greatly expanded.

"Old Yang." Qiuj took two female guards to the city wall and greeted him from a distance.

Yang Wenkai hurriedly waved, and when Qiuj came closer, the two saluted each other. Qiuj asked with a smile: "Why, the Qing army was not destroyed, are you in a bad mood?"

"Yes, I'm really not satisfied." Yang Wenkai nodded and said, "As the commander of the Western Yunnan Military Region, I naturally hope to win more battles. If the Qing army in Yongchang is annihilated, even if the main force moves eastward, the remaining troops can continue to restore the local area and attack the Qing army. Now, I'm afraid I can only take a defensive position."

"You're right." Qiuj deliberately paused, but smiled happily, "Okay, I won't keep it in the air. The General Staff's order has been sent, and we order us to continue to advance north and attack Dali. Now, you don't have to worry about fighting."

Yang Wenkai was stunned for a moment, then a burst of surprise. He asked tightly: "How could he change the strategy? When did the telegram from the General Staff arrive?"

"The telegram just arrived." Qiuj let out a long breath and smiled: "When I first saw it, I was a little unbelievable. But after thinking about it carefully, it made sense."

Yang Wenkai reached out to stop Qiuj, thought for a while, and said with a guess: "I thought about several reasons, and see if it is the same as yours. First, weapons and ammunition are sufficient, and the army is about to be expanded. Even if the troops in our western Yunnan Military Region do not retreat eastward, the headquarters is not very worried about the Qing army's attack; secondly, we need to pay rations to the land and not gather too much force. I am afraid that it is also due to this consideration; finally, I think we should find a breakthrough in northwestern Yunnan, or threaten Chuxiong, Yao'an, or even Kunming from the east; or develop directly from Dali to Sichuan, and spread the revolutionary fire to the country of Tianfu."

Qiuj watched Yang Wenkai become more and more excited, a little surprised, but then he felt relieved. Isn’t this the ideal path of his own? I feel that his ideal is gradually realizing, isn’t he very excited?

"In my opinion, the western Yunnan Military Region may be an independent combat unit in the future and can have great independent command power." Qiuj nodded, agreeing with Yang Wenkai while expressing his thoughts, "The main force attracted the main force of the Qing army in southern Yunnan and Guangxi, and we may be the mobile troops that can expand the results of the war."

"It makes sense." Yang Wenkai couldn't help but slapped the battlements again. The dust raised made him take two steps back, but his smile did not diminish. "I might have missed a point just now. This decision was probably adjusted by the General Staff based on the movements of the Qing army. If so, the Qing army retreating to Dali would not receive reinforcements from Kunming, and our offense would be very smooth."

Qiuj pondered for a moment and said, "Convene a military meeting immediately, carefully discuss the action plan, and after confirming the attack and left-behind troops, let's hurry up and take action!"

As a soldier, being able to have the opportunity to stand alone is not only an opportunity to make achievements, but also an recognition of one's own abilities. Similarly, when power is greater and responsibility is increased, his judgment and orders will determine the future of this force.

Yang Wenkai nodded vigorously, talked to Qiuj, and walked down the city wall.

Yongchang City is very old and can only be considered a small and medium-sized level compared to the cities in the Central Plains. Moreover, after several renovations, the new and old levels of the wall tiles are different, like patched torn clothes.

But at this time, in the eyes of both of them, all the scenery seemed beautiful, and the dilapidated Yongchang City seemed to have an antique smell.

.............

The reasons for the strategic change are many. In addition to what Yang Wenkai and Qiu J guessed, the most important point is that Wu Luzhen and Chen Wenqiang almost mastered all the military power in Guangdong. The revolutionary army only needed to leave a few troops to respond in a weak way, so they did not have to worry about the attack from the east.

Therefore, the General Staff Department can order the Western Yunnan Military Region to continue to expand its territory, and the old troops, coupled with the expanding troops, can concentrate on dealing with the Qing army around northern Guangxi and Kunming.

Although the Qing army still has an advantage in terms of military strength, the quantity and quality are not proportional. Almost no one dares to take the initiative to attack, and they all aim to defend their own defense zones. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the Qing army was transferred from various places, with different thoughts and different combat powers, but the most important thing is that there are too few new troops. The old-style army has lost its spirit of proactiveness.

In this era, weapons and equipment have not yet occupied an overwhelming advantage. In other words, the will and spirit of soldiers often have the power to determine the outcome in war. The "spiritual atomic bomb" is often a weapon that can win.

The Revolutionary Army had advantages that the Qing army could not have in this regard. A large number of middle and lower-level officers who had ideals, beliefs, and were ready to die. Although these officers had a short training time, their enthusiasm and courage made this army often exert a terrifying ferocity during combat.

The establishment of the Revolutionary United Front has enabled more revolutionary patriots to devote themselves to this great change that has not been seen in a thousand years and contribute their passion and life. Being led by the Revival Society, uniting other revolutionary groups to attack the Qing court together, such a major situation has finally been formed.

"The Standing Committee of the China Revolutionary United Front is established today." Song Fuhua was full of energy, announced loudly, and applauded vigorously.

The applause was heard, and Huang, Tao Chengzhang, Jiao Dafeng, Zhang Baixiang, Sun Wu and others were also very excited. At that time, before the victory of the revolution, revolutionary patriots did not pay attention to fame or money. They all did a job that was lost, and they were all for the ideals in their hearts, and their thoughts were pure and sincere.

No matter who is dominant in the revolutionary United Front, the current common goal is to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish the Republic of China. It is precisely because of the efforts of the Revival Association that it pointed out a quick revolutionary path and provided a revolutionary stage for them to perform.

For the Revival Society, it united revolutionary patriots from all over the country. While strengthening its own strength, it also made up for the shortcomings of some of their regions, such as Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Sichuan and other provinces.

The establishment of the Standing Committee marks that most revolutionary patriots at home and abroad have unified command and no longer do their own things.

As the chairman of the Standing Committee, Song Fuhua has a strong backing for the Revival Society, and also has the ability and enthusiasm to become a leader. Vice Chairman Huang Ze was honest and sincere, with admirable morality. Other members represented their respective revolutionary groups, and perhaps had differences in revolutionary concepts and strategies. However, the revolutionary torrent brought about by the Revival Society was sincere.

Light wine, tea, fruits, and celebrations are simple and enthusiastic. Song Fuhua smiled sincerely and happily. He walked among the crowd with his wine glass, talking with revolutionaries from all over the world, and narrowing their relationship with each other.

"Brother Keqiang." Tao Chengzhang walked to Huang's side, raised his glass and took a sip, and asked tentatively: "The major executive members of the Revival Society, except for Mr. Song, are all the dragons who are not seen. You came early, so do you know who they are? If it is understandable to keep their mystery before, and now we have joined forces and keep it secret, isn't it a bit distrustful?"

Huang shook his head and explained patiently: "It's not that he distrusts his trust, but that it is a major plan that is important and related to the success of the revolution. The Revival Association has to be cautious. If you look at the composition of the Standing Committee, you should know that the Revival Association has not suppressed people with power. All groups, no matter big or small, are the same as their Revival Association, with two members. The military academy is also open to various groups. It can be seen that they have no intention of preventing things."

"I'm just curious, worried that others would have such ideas." Tao Chengzhang smiled awkwardly and said, "I looked at it briefly, but I also saw the powerful strength of the Revival Society and its maturity in revolutionary theory and strategy. Although I don't agree with some ideas, it's after all, it's a matter after the victory of the revolution, and it's too early to argue now."

"Compared with the mobilization of the Society, Green Forest, the Revival Society is indeed more mature than other groups." Huang nodded and said, "I have been here longer than you and have seen more. The Revival Society is not only very cautious about the mobilization of the Society, Green Forest, but also suppresses evil people. As a result, not only did not weaken their power, but instead saved the people from harming them, and actively supported them. I am afraid that such behavior and results are also what you did not expect?"

"The Society, the Green Forests are of varying quality, so there are naturally heroes who resisted the Qing court and scams who robbed families. Although the Restoration Association also mobilized the Society and Green Forests, it is not without principles." Tao Chengzhang defended: "We cannot accept scams who kill people and rob goods, disturb the people and harm the people. Moreover, the Restoration Association has decided to turn its work focus to mobilizing the new army."

"This is a very clever strategy." Huang praised it very much and reminded: "The Revival Society is in Anhui, and Fujian does not seem to be strong. It is likely to rely on the Revival Society. You have the opportunity to show your strength."

"As long as there is sufficient funds and sufficient grain and bullets, the revival meeting can be the forefront in Anhui, Fujian, or Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Tao Chengzhang paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the revival will start a new business, but the plan to dominate one or two provinces must be resolutely implemented."

"It may not be necessary for the liberation to launch an uprising and charge in the battle." Huang said with a smile: "When the revolutionary trend becomes a storm and winds, the liberation will respond in a deep-rooted place, restoring the local area, stabilizing the society, making the country less unrest and losses, and allowing the people to suffer less and suffer less. Isn't it also a revolutionary feat?"

Tao Chengzhang blinked his eyes and looked at Huang for a while, and couldn't help but smile: "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to Mo are black. This sentence is indeed true. Your statement is very similar to the argument of the Revival Society!"

"I will listen to it, I will do it, it's that simple." Huang pondered for a moment and said earnestly: "It is hard to come by the establishment of the United Front. If revolutionary patriots can unite, they will have less insights and more awareness of seeking common ground while reserving differences, and do not divide or fight within the country."

Tao Chengzhang frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Keqiang, do you still think it is wrong to have a dispute with Beichen? He is domineering, domineering, and cannot treat others honestly. Is it also right?"

Huang sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and said, "Don't mention the past things. Whether it is right or wrong is not important now. Now it is enough for everyone to work together for a common goal."

Tao Chengzhang opened his mouth and said nothing, but he felt a little dissatisfied.

After a while of silence, Huang Kai asked, "Huanqing, Uncle Mei is still the editor-in-chief of the Minbao, so he should continue to cheer for the revolution. Is it inappropriate to make so many Buddhist articles in the newspaper?"

Tao Chengzhang smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Mei hopes to use religion to arouse faith and enhance the morality of the people. The so-called religion is the Huayan and Dharma-Pharaoh with the character of "relying on oneself but not others". He believes that only by having this belief can one be brave and fearless and united, and be able to do things."

Huang blinked his eyes and thought for a while. At Zhang Crazy and Zhang Neng, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
