Chapter 105: Wang Hengyue's Rapid Expansion

On February 2, 1910, Xiong Kewu and others launched the Jiading Uprising in southern Sichuan again, but failed!

However, there was a special situation in the Jiading Uprising, which aroused great attention from the Sichuan side, that is, the party members who participated in the Jiading Uprising were armed with hundreds of new rifles.

The revolutionary party had been able to obtain new rifles in Sichuan, much to the horror of Sichuan officials.

They would never have thought that these rifles would have flowed out of this inconspicuous place in Rong County!

A connection has been silently formed between Wang Hengyue and the revolutionary party.

On the 12th, Ni Yingdian led the uprising of the New Army in Guangzhou!

However, the Qing army had already taken precautions, and Li Zhun, the commander of the naval division, sat at the east gate and sent the commander Wu Zongyu to lead more than 2,000 people to attack by different routes. In the afternoon, the two armies met, and Wu Zongyu's troops deployed defenses in the vicinity of Niuwang Temple. Ni Yingdian, dressed in a blue robe and holding a red flag, galloped back and forth, commanding the new army to enter the position. The Qing Guan took Tong Changbiao and Li Jinglian to pretend to mediate and induce Ni Yingdian to come forward for a meeting. Ni Yingdian did not suspect it, and knew the righteousness in person to fight for the defense camp to act together. Tong Changbiao and others pretended to agree, pushing the matter to ask the commander, galloped back to the position and ordered to shoot. Ni Yingdian was still inspecting the battlefield, was injured and fell off his horse, was robbed by the Qing soldiers, and was beheaded to death.

After Ni Yingdian's death, the rebel army attacked fiercely, fighting fiercely for more than an hour, and finally retreated due to heavy casualties and ammunition. By the end of the following night, the rebels' rebellion was suppressed by the Qing army, and the uprising failed.

Also in February, Sichuan's artesian wells and Gongjing were attacked by the "revolutionary party", and Wang Hengyue was personally led by the army to help, and successfully repelled the attack of the revolutionary party under the "hard fight"!

The revolutionary party's attack on the artesian and gongjing caused great fear among officials in Sichuan. This is a heavy salt tax area, and if it is lost, it will inevitably cause serious consequences.

On March 17, Ma Weiqi, the governor of Sichuan and the whole army patrolling, died of illness, and Sichuan mourned.

On March 18, the day after Ma Weiqi died of illness, the 3rd Battalion of the 66th Standard of the 33rd Mixed Association of the Sichuan New Army was formed.

With Wang Hengyue of the second battalion of the 66th standard as the third battalion pipe band, it is stationed in Rongxian, artesian wells, and Gongjings to strictly prevent the attack of the revolutionary party and bandits.

The day that Wang Hengyue and his brothers have been waiting for has finally arrived!

Wang Hengyue finally crossed this hurdle and turned into a pipe belt! It's a quantum leap from the gang to the pipe belt!

Ma Weiqi died of illness, and Wang Hengyue did not celebrate, but ordered to quickly transfer personnel from the armed guards to supplement the third battalion, and at the same time recruit troops in the three places.

In order to recruit enough soldiers as soon as possible, Wang Hengyue ordered the soldiers' salaries to be increased by one tael per month, basically reaching the standard of the new army's salaries in other provinces.

The four small cannons, heavy machine guns, and machines that Kleiman purchased for him were also delivered one after another, which gave Wang Hengyue sufficient weapons to show his strength.

At this time, Wang Hengyue already had sufficient capital.

The four salt wells in Rong County brought a steady stream of silver. The artesian wells and gongjing were included in Wang Hengyue's "scope of protection", which also made the tentacles of the "Glory Salt Company" begin to spread to these two places.

Wang Hengyue took out 30,000 taels of silver to buy off the commander of the Anding Battalion, the official transportation bureau, and the general manager of the Capture Department stationed in the salt factory, and smoothly mined two salt wells in each of the artesian wells and the gongjing by agreeing to these people's shares.

With eight salt wells in hand, Wang Hengyue has become the third largest salt merchant in the local area!

"Rongxian Limited Operation Company" was renamed "Glory Transportation Company" in this year, and the general manager Deng Yong vigorously developed the business, and even tried to extend its tentacles to the salt transportation, but it was too difficult to do so, and it was not successful. But Deng Yong was not in a hurry, he knew very well that with the growth of Wang Hengyue's power, it was only a matter of time before the "Glory Transportation Company" got involved in salt transportation.

The Arsenal is also running normally.

The new machines that Kleiman had purchased for him had arrived, giving the arsenal the ability to make small cannons and imitation heavy machine guns, but there were still certain technical shortcomings. The three foreign technicians of Vest forgot to sleep and eat, studied day and night, and Wang Hengyue did not urge them, he knew very well that it was only a matter of time before his arsenal made large-scale firepower weapons!

Due to the failure of the Jiading Uprising again, Long Mingjian and these revolutionaries lost their newly purchased weapons, and had to find Wang Hengyue again and place a contract for 200 rifles and bullets.

It's a great start.

The cymbal top arsenal cannot only rely on Wang Hengyue's continuous injection of funds, but must be able to have its own hematopoietic ability and let it enter the development channel of the good surname!

Revolutionaries buy weapons? Decollation? Wang Hengyue doesn't care anymore, anyway, the relationship between himself and the revolutionary party is constantly cut and messed up, and any one that is leaked is the same as a crime of killing the head!

The foreign teachers hired by the Army Academy have arrived, and they can save anything, but the money on it can't be saved. The high salary and good environment have given these teachers full confidence to stay in Rong County.

And Wang Hengyue seems to be particularly concerned about the student named Wang Mingzhang, and has mentioned several times that he wants to focus on cultivating this person, which makes his subordinates also a little puzzled, adults care so much about Wang Mingzhang, and everyone is surnamed Wang, is Wang Mingzhang a relative of Wang Guandai?

In terms of military strength, with the establishment of the third battalion, Wang Hengyue transferred all the officers and soldiers of the first team of the original second battalion to the third battalion.

The third battalion was organized into four teams, with Xie Shuixiang, Li Yifeng, and Xu Muchong serving as officers of the first, second, and third teams, and Wu Qianlong being promoted to the officers of the fourth team. also set up a pistol team, with Ma Xiao as the team officer; Guan led the guards, and Huang Zixuan was the team officer; Artillery team, with Liu Sihai as the team officer!

Deng Xia and Pete of the Armed Guards also received orders to continue the large-scale expansion, and at the same time, a precious heavy machine gun was also assigned to the Armed Guard. Jia Haoyang's security team has also been greatly supplemented!

Speaking of the artillery team, the two said that they were Sukeyuki Yamamoto and Masahiro Suzuki, and they became much more honest. What Wang Hengyue said is not wrong at all, once you are convinced, he will wag his tail and beg for mercy to you like a dog.

Yamamoto Sukeyuki and Suzuki Masahiro still have some skills, Yamamoto Sukeyuki is responsible for the installation and maintenance of the cannon, and Suzuki Masahiro is responsible for assisting Liu Sihai in training artillery.

Masahiro Suzuki still has a good set of guns in the use of artillery, although the training is cruel to the point of being unkind, but compared to the future battlefield, no matter how cruel the training is, it is worth it.

Wang Hengyue's wanton expansion, everything is for one purpose:

The coming 1911 year!

There is not much time left for him, the Great Era has already taken its steps, and when that day really comes, the Great Era will only belong to the strongest.

Outdated, no one will give you even a shred of sympathy!
