The rooster crows at dawn, and Zhuang doesn't look so dark and dark."

This is Dongji Village, located in the east of Guangzhou City fifty miles, next to the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway, there is a small railway station outside the village, but since the railway was completed and opened to traffic, it has not been used before, until a few days ago, it became lively here.

The five-color flag that was hung by the patriarch of the village has been flying at the railway station a few days ago, and another flag appeared next to this flag, and there was another flag on that flag. It is said that the flag was designed by Mr. Sun of the Alliance, and now, this flag is also the battle flag of the "Guangdong Rebel Revolutionary Army".

The target of the "Guangdong Rebel Revolutionary Army" was Zhang Renjun, the governor of the Guangdong Military Government.

After the revolution, the Guangdong military government was established, and then the excesses and miscellaneous taxes increased, and the people complained. Although Governor Zhang Renjun swore that these levies were "taken from the people and for the people." "Nothing fell into Zhang Dudu's pocket, but the people of this year are not stupid. They all understand that this so-called "military government" in Guangdong is actually just a signboard changed from the former Manchu and Guangxi Governors' Mansions, and the people are still those people, and the officials are still those officials. It's just that the kneeling salute of the pre-Qing Dynasty was replaced by a rough bow salute in the republican era.

The people had grievances in their hearts, and they vented their grievances, so the "commander-in-chief of the Gui Army aiding Guangdong" Long Jiguang raised his arms and shouted, and the people of Guangdong "looked at the wind and shadows".

"Looking at the wind and shadowing" This is the original words of the Alliance, and it is also the "Zhang Jiwen". The original sentence may be a bit exaggerated, but the idlers in the four miles and eight towns of Guangzhou City were indeed mobilized, and after the Gui army besieged Guangzhou City, these people rushed to the countryside near Guangzhou to compete with those regiments and townspeople. Or a few armed fights with those villagers in order to show the revolutionary stance, and under the clamor of these people, not only in the vicinity of Canton, but also in the whole of Guangdong, there was chaos, and all this was to establish that "new order." Small.

The "new order" is relative to the old order, the order of Zhang Renjun's time is the old order, and now, the League will establish their new order.

There may be a period of chaos before the new order is established, and this is inevitable, and the people should understand it.

Establish a "new order." These were the exact words of the former commander-in-chief of the "Guangdong Rebel Revolutionary Army," and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy was none other than him. It was Chen Qimei, the mastermind behind the assassination of Tao Chengzhang who was accused of plotting 1.

But unlike some days ago, the current Chen Qimei has changed her past silence, publicly denied that she was involved in the assassination of Tao Chengzhang, and accused Wang Zhaoming of being a traitor to the Alliance, accusing him of betraying the Alliance1 and betraying Mr. Sun.

However, the press and public opinion circles generally ignored Chen Qimei's accusation, and the press and public opinion circles also unanimously agreed that the prospects for the "Second Revolution in Guangdong" planned by the League were bleak, and even the foreign newspapers in China basically held the same position, with the only exception being the "Shuncheon Shibao," which was run by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China through Japanese businessmen, which not only openly applauded the rebellion of the radicals of the League and Long Jiguang, but also accused Sang of attacking the central government of China. The central government was accused of not taking into account the interests of the people of Guangdong.

For the Japanese jumping up and down, the wise people among the Chinese people can also see clearly, they know that this is the Japanese government wants to take this opportunity to exert pressure on the central government of China, trying to take the initiative in foreign affairs, this trick, the Japanese government used to deal with the Manchu court, the reason why the alliance was established in Tokyo, Japan, is not unrelated, but now that it has been republican, and the person presiding over the center is Zhao Zhenhua, who has a very tough stance on Japan, then, I am afraid that this trick of the Japanese government is somewhat behind the times.

Chen Qimei also understood the intentions of the Japanese government, and he knew better than others that the Japanese government was responsible for the "Second Revolution in Guangdong." Moreover, just yesterday, a Japanese cargo ship had sailed to Lingzhuyang, and was now sailing at full speed to the upper reaches of the Pearl River, and if all went well, it would be able to reach the Canton River by tonight at the latest.

The Japanese cargo ship was loaded with a shipload full of munitions, all of which were shipped directly from the Japanese barracks in Taiwan, and this was used to assist the "Guangdong Rebel Revolutionary Army." And just in case, this Japanese cargo ship will fly the British flag after entering the Pearl River, and after that, it will sail straight to Guangzhou.

If the Japanese cargo ship had successfully arrived in Guangzhou, the long-stalemate offensive and defensive battle in Guangzhou would have ended quickly, because the ship was loaded with a large number of shells and field artillery, which was a relief for the Guangdong rebel revolutionary army, which was short of ammunition.

After a few days of fierce fighting, Long Jiguang's Gui army has consumed most of the bamboo and bamboo that it is not easy to accumulate, and the remaining ammunition can only last for two more days at most.

Originally. According to the original action plan, the "second revolution in Guangdong." It was supposed to be an uprising that was supposed to be both inside and outside. Long Jiguang's Gui army mutinied outside the city of Guangzhou. The Confederacy's death squads responded to the city of Guangzhou. The two sides cooperated to take the city in one fell swoop. However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and before the daredevils of the League entered the city of Guangzhou, Long Jiguang's Gui army troops mutinied outside the city, so the plan to seize the city became a unilateral action, and the clever seizure turned into a strong attack.

Zhang Renjun, the governor of Guangdong, reacted at the first time when the Gui army mutinied, and transferred most of the Cantonese army into the city of Guangzhou. The city resisted desperately, and as a result, the battle situation was stalemate, which was very unfavorable to the Gui army, which was short of weapons.

At that time, the Gui army clashed with the Guangdong army gendarmerie because of the ban on gambling, and several soldiers were arrested by the Guangdong army gendarmerie, but those soldiers were Ma Yi, a senior officer, they also knew that the Gui army was about to mutiny, in order to prevent leakage of news, Long Jiguang could only launch a mutiny in advance and besiege Guangzhou.

On the other hand. The Confederacy is also partly responsible. Originally, some of the daredevils had already infiltrated the city of Guangzhou, but Chen Qimei sent a telegram to transfer them out of the city again, saying that they were receiving intensive training from military instructors, but before Chen Qimei arrived at the Guangzhou Railway Station with the military instructors sent by the Japanese Black Dragon Society, Long Jiguang's troops had already mutinied, and in the face of the Cantonese troops who were holding on to the fortified city and waiting for reinforcements, the League of Death Squad completely lost its usefulness.

The two sides are responsible, then, the first thing that Commander-in-Chief Chen and Commander-in-Chief Long did after meeting at the headquarters was to quarrel, complain to each other, and accuse each other of being fully responsible for the city of Don.

However, the blame is the blame, the accusation is the blame, the current military situation has to be taken seriously, since the uprising has been launched, then there is no turning back from the bow, you can only continue to attack the city of Guangzhou, no matter what, you have to occupy Guangzhou, take Guangzhou, you will have the capital to bargain with the center, and if you can't beat Guangzhou, then, Commander-in-Chief Chen and Commander-in-Chief Long should hurry up and pack up and prepare to run away.

That's why. Chen Qimei stayed up all night last night and didn't sleep, in order to coordinate the overall situation, and now the troops of the League from Guangxi and Fujian have not yet arrived on the ground in Guangdong, which is also something that worries Chen Qimei. The troops were too slow to move. But I don't know if they have changed their minds.

Right now. It was already dawn, Chen Qimei rubbed her eyes that were boiling red, and called several cadres1 to continue to discuss the matter of receiving the Japanese munitions ship.

Now that there is a lack of weapons, this matter is a top priority, Chen Qimei does not dare to slack off, since the death squads of the alliance are outside the city. Then, let them take someone to pick up the Japanese munitions ship, considering that there are Cantonese cannons on the city of Guangzhou, the Japanese munitions ship cannot get too close, therefore, Chen Qimei finally made a decision. Go to the lower reaches of Guangzhou to collect ships, and there they will receive arms and heavy loads.

After the meeting and discussion, everyone took their tasks and dispersed.

Chen Qimei walked out of the house, went to the kitchen and got a hot roasted sweet potato, and didn't start eating it yet. And he heard the sound of cannon from the west.

These days. In order to make the morale and fighting spirit of the other side collapse first, both warring sides used artillery, and artillery battles were carried out every day. However, there were not many shells on both the offensive and defensive sides, so the intensity of the artillery battle in the past two days has also decreased a lot.

But now. The sound of artillery coming from the direction of Guangzhou was very dense, and listening to the sound, it was also slightly different from the sound of artillery a few days ago.

Chen Qimei was very surprised, and hurriedly sent someone to the headquarters and used the only field telephone to ask the commander of the Guangzhou front about the battle situation, but because he was only a nominal "former enemy commander-in-chief." "The command can't move the Gui army, so the phone was shaken back and forth, and finally it was until Long Jiguang's headquarters in Yantang was asked.

This is not an artillery battle between the attacking and defending sides of Guangzhou, but a unilateral artillery suppression, and it is the Gui army's position outside the city that is bombed, but it is neither the Gui army outside the city nor the Cantonese army inside the city that fires the artillery. It was in the direction of the Pearl River in the south of the city, so Long Jiguang was very suspicious that the warship was firing its cannons. This is also evidenced by the power of the shells.

A few days ago, he learned from the newspaper that the central government had sent a naval task force to the south to assist Zhang Renjun in "quelling the rebellion." Now, the siege of the city has been suppressed by such fierce artillery fire, could it be that the task force has already arrived in Guangzhou?

Chen Qimei was worried about this, and Long Jiguang, who was sitting in the Yantang Barracks, was also on pins and needles.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse, and it is no wonder that the two revolutionaries were so panicked.
