Regardless of the differences of opinion, the operation to take control of Hangzhou has begun, and Zhang Chengyue has only one request for the work of the government affairs team, which is to arouse the hatred of the people on the premise of maintaining a stable city. The people are not Yue Fei, and they won't sing anything "Jing Kang is ashamed, still snowing; What they want is to survive, to eat, to mobilize the masses, not to use shame to inspire, but to use hatred to stimulate, must make them understand that their lack of food is harmed by the Manchurians, is the corrupt officials who obey the orders of the Manchus, and is the unscrupulous rice traffickers who collude with the government, so if they want to live well in the future and be full, they must fight, and struggle is the source of strength.

With such thoughts, the capitals and nobles in the city, the corrupt officials and cool officials in the yamen, and the profiteers in the rice shops were all dragged out of the school for public trial.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Zhejiang was the most unstable, so the Manchu Qing Dynasty set up a full city in Hangzhou. It is located in Hangzhou for more than 200 years, occupies the best position (now Hangzhou lakeside area), and the Manchurian people hold themselves as rulers, as a prestige, killing people and robbing women will naturally not be less, after half a day of sorting, some time ago just killed a yellow belt, the first to go to the public trial. In the judge's astonishment, the man was sentenced to be executed. Then, in the martial arts hall of the school, in a nervous but expectant gaze, this yellow belt who was already trembling all over his body and would not beg for mercy was pressed and knelt on the ground by the executioner, and the executioner shouted: "Please return to the place", before the words fell, the left hand lifted the braid, and the right hand wiped the knife across the chest. The head of the yellow ribbon was raised.

Hangzhou people have seen a lot of live murder scenes, but it is the first time to kill the yellow belt, this is a relative of the emperor! In addition to rebellion. When did you kill them? But now, they are still kneeling on the ground, their braids are warped, and their heads are still falling to the ground with a stroke of a knife. Thousands of people in the entire school field had different reactions when they saw this scene: the poor men were happy, they had long wanted to kill the Tartars, and when they finally saw it today, they couldn't help but cheer immediately; The gentry and merchants were sorrowful. Killing the yellow belt is not as good as killing the official, and there will be a big war in Hangzhou at that time; Only the parents of the bitter lord suddenly wept when they saw this, and the cry was amplified by the radio and resounded throughout the city. At this time, an arranged voice shouted in Hangzhou dialect: "Brothers, the Manchurian Tartars have bullied us for more than two hundred years. Get them out! Restore me Huaxia! "A shout on the radio. Some of the poor men who had been bought in advance also shouted in unison, and for a while there was a lot of murder in the school field.

The school field mobilizes the people, the army moves soldiers, and the patrol team is the best exercise, compared with the new army's monthly salary of more than four taels, they only have one or five cents a month for infantry, and only two taels for horsemen, as for three buckets of rice, don't say it. It's basically rotten rice, and it's often insufficient. And it's just such a little money, and it can only be issued after deducting the gram. In addition, all the officers who beat people at will and cronyism were found out to criticize and fight, and after the criticism was over, a grievance meeting was held, and a few soldiers who were selected to have a bitter mouth and a deep hatred stood on the grievance platform and cried while talking, and then talked after crying. The Green Battalion is different from the New Army, and being a soldier is also a family with hardship and desperation, who hasn't been sad? The atmosphere in the hall soon reached a critical point, and when a loud soldier told him that his family had been starved to death and let them go to death, everyone burst into tears.

When everyone cried, Zhang Chengyue left with confidence, in fact, compared to the new army, he cared more about the patrol team, after all, the most captured is the patrol team, although Zhou Zhaoxian did not capture all the patrol teams of Mantou Mountain, but all the old army that was captured also had more than 1,700 people, which was twice as many as the 900 new army.

The old army has a lot of suffering, every soldier is a lot of miserable things, and although the new army is paid well, but for ordinary soldiers, there is still suffering, the new army is not so easy to enter, it cost fifty or sixty taels to buy, and usually have to be beaten and scolded by officers, especially Zhang Zengxi sent a of his own incompetent confidant Li Yizhi to be the management belt of the new army, this person knows nothing about military affairs, but he is very good at beating people, after this person was found out and criticized, the soldiers also began to complain, The political commissar who presided over the grievance meeting was very skillful, but in Zhang Chengyue's ears, the crying was still not as miserable as the old army.

The people and the new army are in motion, but Zhang Chengyue still has a bottom on how many people he can pull out, and when he returned to the Futai Yamen and wanted to report to Zhong Mei, Zhong Mei had worse news.

"The munitions ship coming from Ningbo was stopped." As soon as Zhong Mei opened his mouth, it was bad news, but this was not unexpected, if the arms ship was going to Zhejiang, it would naturally have to enter Zhenhai and enter Hangzhou Bay, which was no better than smuggling to Shanghai before, and it was not better than going to Anton to go straight to the ocean.

"Were you stopped and not allowed to come, or were you arrested?" Zhang Chengyue asked, he had just estimated how many people would be able to surrender, but he didn't want the guns and ammunition to be broken.

"I was stopped, if it wasn't for the American flag, I guess I would have been arrested. Or because we don't have warships, even if we cross the Qiantang River to fight Shaoxing, we have to drag a few cannons, otherwise we won't be able to pass. Zhong Mei shook his head, in the area of Hangjia Lake, many things can't be done without a fleet.

"How many things? Can you unload it to Ningbo, and then we will pick it up? Zhong Guanghe had been thinking about this question before.

"Two thousand rifles, one and a half million rounds of ammunition, more than 70 tons, and more than 100 carts loaded on a carriage." Zhong Mei said, "Besides, there is a 700-mile road back and forth from here to Ningbo, and it takes more than ten days just to walk." Unless someone from Ningbo is escorted over. ”

"There are a lot of Qing soldiers in Zhoushan and Zhenhai, and there are not hundreds of escorts, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get by." Zhong Guanghe is a native of Zhenhai, and he died when he heard that there were more than 70 tons.

"Then let's see if we can stop the boat in Shaoxing at night." Zhang Chengyue said. "Aren't there a few Makqins, carry them to the coast, and if there are Qing army patrol ships, they will be beaten to pieces."

Zhong Mei and Zhong Guanghe glanced at each other, thinking that there was only this way, and nodded and let the communication soldier arrange it.

After talking about the munitions, Zhang Chengyue began to talk about the Qing army anyway, "Two thousand seven hundred Qing soldiers." I guess I can pull half of it......"

"Crying so badly, it's only half of it?" Zhong Mei heard the cry of the grievance meeting, and wondered why Zhang Chengyue only said half of it.

"At most, only half of the Forces nouvelles will come. On the patrol side, excluding those who smoke heavily and are thin, it is difficult to find half of the qualified soldiers. It's too weak, and if you really want to take it in, it's a drag on us. "Before Zhang Chengyue came in, he asked the platoon commander of the troop company who went to see the people, and everyone said that these soldiers didn't want to send them over, and it was a waste of rice. Only the Forces nouvelles made all the officers red-eyed. Although the independent brigade is said to be a brigade, according to the military system of the Baath Army, it is actually not fully formed. Just a shelf brigade.

"What then?" Zhong Guanghe shouted, he only felt that he had made nothing at all by defeating Hangzhou. Guns, repeating guns no more than four thousand shots, ammunition. less than two hundred rounds per gun; As for those single-shot guns, as well as black powder bullets. It's better not to use it. Although a few artillery pieces were captured in Mancheng and Huancuilou, the four Krupp 57mm mountain guns that are really suitable for use in Zhejiang are still the four Krupp mountain guns, as for those 75mm field guns, they can defend the city, and they really have to be taken out to fight, which does not match the tactics of the troops.

"Isn't there silver in the treasury, there are good soldiers on Haining, Shengxian, and Yiwu. Just put up a flag. "Zhong Mei's biggest fear is that there is no ammunition, but people are not worried. In this era, where there is money, there are soldiers.

"But we don't have time to practice." Zhong Guang said, "When will the Manchus send troops over?" ”

The problem he said is actually the question that everyone has been thinking about since they received the order to capture Hangzhou, unless it is a troubled time, Zhejiang is really not a good place to secede, and the strategic location of any nearby province is better than here. Moreover, there is no naval division in the Fuxing Army now, which means that any Qing troops in Hangzhou Bay can land, and everyone has no other way to do it than wait for the Qing soldiers.

"The occupation of Hangzhou can be described as shocking to the world, I estimate that the Qing army in Jiangsu will be ten days soon, and half a month will be coming. Time is not critical, just give us a month, what can we do? There are no guns, no soldiers, no officers, and I am already arranging to transport some supplies to Yanzhou (now Tonglu, Jiande, Chun'an), so I can't keep it secret by land, this problem is really a headache. ”

"Yanzhou?" Zhang Chengyue asked. "Isn't it good to be in Ningbo and Wenzhou? Why not go anywhere? ”

"Yes, you can only go west to Yanzhou. If we go to Ningwentai in the east, once the sea is blocked, then we will have no room for maneuver. For our army, only by going to Yanzhou can we have a glimmer of life. According to Gu Zuyu's words, 'The shape of Zhejiang, shì, is all in Jianghuai. Jianghuai is unfavorable, and Zhejiang cannot be guaranteed in one day. This is an important place that Zhejiang can occupy without relying on the navy, except for Quzhou, there is only Yanzhou. Jiande is closer to Quzhou, so if we want to establish a base area, we should be here. Zhong Mei pointed to the map and said: "It is connected to Xuancheng Ningguo in the north, Tonglu in the east, Quzhou in the south, and Huizhou in the west. If it really doesn't work, then you can only go further west and occupy Huizhou. ”

Zhong Mei's idea was not to go east, but to the west, to the mountains. Zhang Chengyue thought of today's form, shook his head and said, "Bu Jin, your idea may not be in line with the current situation. From a political point of view, retreating to Yanzhou or Huizhou would be a great disadvantage to the revolution, and some people still expect us to go on a northern expedition. ”

"Politics is a fart! To be alive is to be a great benefit to the revolution. As soon as Zhong Mei's words came out, Zhong Guanghe and Zhang Chengyue were silent, they said it in private, but if it was really spread, I don't know what the outside would say.

"In fact, this Qing soldier is really not beaten. What if the Qing troops brought in can't defeat us? After thinking for a moment, Zhong Guanghe said that those patrols left him with the impression that they were vulnerable, and the new army was slightly better, but it also broke up as soon as it approached the white-knuckle battle. Can you open the door to recruit troops, and then send down those Lin Mingden guns with black powder, so that the army can be expanded to more than 14,000 people. With these 14,000 people, fight with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if you can't fight, then retreat westward. ”

"Let's not talk about the ammunition. What about the officers? Zhong Mei said: "Is it from the northeast?" The martial arts academy in the city has less than a hundred students. ”

"People can only be transferred from the northeast. At least 200 experienced grassroots officers must come over, and the terrain in Zhejiang is actually similar to that of Liaodong, both of which are mountainous, and the tactics of the two places are similar. Zhong Guanghe said: "I just don't know if Xiao Lei is willing or not." ”

Xiao Lei is Lei Yizhen, and the chief of staff Leo everyone calls him Lao Lei, so his name is Xiao Lei. Lao Lei went to Russia with a large sum of rubles with Chen Quai, who was in the education department, last year, after negotiating with Harbin University. Chen Qu returned from illness, but Leo was still moving around Russia, wanting to use Russia to train army and navy officers for the Renaissance Army. As soon as the Russian affairs were over, he went to Germany again, and in addition to returning home, he went to his teacher, Baron Golz, to ask the German Army to help train some Baath officers. Lao Lei is not there, according to Yang Rui's previous orders, the first leader of the army is Lei Yizhen. Now Zhong Guanghe is two hundred officers as soon as he speaks, which is a cut of meat for Lei Yizhen. The combat effectiveness of the army is actually reflected in the experienced company and platoon commanders. At the beginning, it took a lot of effort to train these experienced grassroots officers.

"Xiao Lei won't disagree, even if we borrow it, now borrow two hundred. Four hundred in the future. Zhong Guanghe fights like doing business, showing the true character of a Ningbo businessman, "If it really doesn't work, then let Mr. Shanghai give him an order." ”

As soon as he heard that Zhong Guanghe was talking about Mr., Zhong Mei's expression darkened. For the time being, only he and Zhang Chengyue know about the affairs in Shanghai. Zhong Guanghe and Wei Lan and Zhang Gong from the Jinhua Third Regiment did not report. He was about to say it. Zhang Chengyue on the other side shook his head lightly, signaling him not to say anything for the time being, after all, this is just missing.

Although it is futile to use single-shot rifles that use black powder and have only half the rate of bullet fire, this can only be the case in the current form. At least these are still guns, which are more powerful than spears in your hand. Again. It is much easier to use a brutal war to eliminate new recruits than to train them, and once blood is shed, then the hatred between the Manchus and the common people cannot be easily resolved. Just like Wu Yue said before, 'If you take revenge as reinforcements, you will kill more and more hate, and the more you hate, the more you kill. Vendettas follow each other, and there is no end to it. Only when there is enough blood and enough hatred can the revolution succeed.

In addition to recruiting troops, Zhuji, Shaoxing, Jiaxing, Anji, and Huzhou were also to send troops to occupy them, so as to consolidate the four important places in Hangzhou and connect them with the three regiments on the Jinhua side. In addition to Jiaxing and Huzhou, these places heard that Hangzhou had been lowered, and they were afraid that they would have to make a decision, and they should not spend too much effort.

Military matters have set a strategy, but political affairs are in a dilemma. The telegram for the capture of Hangzhou reached Cai Yuanpei at five o'clock in the morning, and at first he read the telegram over and over again with bloodshot eyes, and the ecstasy in his heart could not be stopped, and he only thought of climbing to a high place and shouting loudly. However, after the government affairs team sent a detailed introduction to Hangzhou at noon, he had to calm down a little.

There are more than 450,000 taels of silver in each treasury of Hangzhou City (it is said that the money is still borrowed from the money bank), more than 2,000 stones of grain, and more than 18,000 rifles, but after removing the rusty ones, it can only be counted as 12,000 rods at most, of which the continuous fire fast guns that can be used are more than 3,800 shots, and the rest are all single-shot guns, and more are black powder single-shot rifles, smokeless gunpowder bullets are only 550,000 rounds, and the number of black powder bullets is huge, there are nearly more than 6 million rounds, but the land of Zhejiang has more rain and less sunshine, and the stock is long, only about half of the ammunition can fire. There are also very few artillery pieces, except for the batteries everywhere, even the new army does not have artillery battalions, the old army has a few guns or breech guns, only the full battalion has four mountain guns and two field guns, but the shells are insufficient. In addition, there are more than 2,780 people in the new army and the old army who have been captured, but it is uncertain how many of them will defect to him.

Zhejiang is not comparable to Jiangsu, Hubei, Shanghai, even compared to Fujian, at least Fujian has a Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, which can make its own ammunition, although Hangzhou has an ordnance bureau, but it can only repair guns. With such a foundation, not to mention the Northern Expedition, it is difficult to occupy the whole of Zhejiang.

It was noon, when Cai Yuanpei was pondering, Shao Lizi came over and said: "Sir, Hangzhou's electricity has been modified, do you see if it's ......?"

Since ancient times, the army has always had to send a text, and this time Hangzhou was not exempt, but the text prepared by Shao Lizi and others before was too elegant, and it was not a matter for scholars to think that righteousness was not a matter for scholars, so Cai Yuanpei asked them to make a new one, and he ended up writing an article, only to see that it read:

Since ancient times, there are clouds: Yan Zhao is a generous and tragic person, Wu Yue is the hometown of revenge and hatred, and now the land is restored, Yan Zhao is here?! I once heard that 'although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!' ', now Chu has a trillion households, where does the Tartar remain?!

In the past, the Song Dynasty was not politically outlined, and the Liao Yuan took the fortune, disturbing the Middle Xia, and the gods and men were angry. Later, the heroes rose together, eliminated the traitors, and restored the old things, but it took a while. Today, the pseudo-Qing Dynasty is self-reliant under the false mandate of heaven, according to my China, stealing my artifact, flattering the foreign powers, and the internal slave compatriots, and even using the pseudo-constitution to win the hearts of the people. All my Chinese people will be heartbroken and sworn to attack them.

Recalling that Zhang Zeng painted in a private room, Lin Qingyan started in Gyeonggi. Zhang Li advocated teaching in Chuanlong, and Hong Yang started in Jintian, although the banner of righteousness inevitably ended. But it still shakes the foundation of the false Qing. Today, the Hangzhou army is prosperous, the Tartars have all surrendered, the new army of the Eight Banners is a weak brigade, the Han people are improvised, and the full fortune has been extinct. The 40,000,000 compatriots of our imperial Han nation should hold high the banner of righteousness. Cleared China, chased the Tartars abroad, and established a new country in the old state. Saving China from danger and rejuvenating the nation in the future, this history has given me the vocation of the Han people!

……

Cai Yuanpei was watching it at first, but he couldn't help reading it later. Just wait for the end" to announce the world. The salty envoy smelled it" before stopping. "Okay, that's it. Send it to Hangzhou immediately and let them electrify the whole country. ”

Shao Lizi said: "Yes." Mr! But after saying that, he said: "Then what kind of government should be established in Hangzhou?" Is it the junta, or is it the government? ”

I had been thinking about whether Hangzhou could be captured, Cai Yuanpei didn't think about the rest of the matter, and Hangzhou's move was not in the established plan of the Fuxing Association, and Yang Rui and others did not discuss what to do after capturing Hangzhou. It's okay to establish a military government now, if it's a national government. What should this country be called, the Republic of China. Or the Republic of China?

Cai Yuanpei thought for a moment, and felt that Hangzhou was just a subordinate area of the Fuxing Society, so he said: "Let's establish the Zhejiang Military Government first." ”

"What about the appointment of officials?" Shao Lizi hurriedly asked.

"Zhong Mei is the brigade commander of the independent brigade, so appoint Zhong Mei as the governor of the military government. Also, they didn't just think about how to fight, the government affairs team wanted to run the military government, and in order to provoke the gentry to be dissatisfied with the Manchu pseudo-constitution, they had to prepare the provincial council as much as possible, and those well-known gentry had to invite them, and then discuss the compilation of the constitution. In the matter of constitutionalism, we must be ahead of the Manchus. Cai Yuanpei thumped his head that was still muddy, but still came up with a clever plan, he believed that as soon as the constitution and the provincial assembly came out, the revival society would seize the banner of constitutionalism, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would make a constitutional monarchy, and the revival society would make a democratic constitution, which was-for-tat.

Shao Lizi knew that constitutionalism was actually the separation of powers, and the separation of powers was extremely unfavorable to the Renaissance Army. He immediately reminded: "Sir, once the constitution is established, the gentry will have to listen to it, what if they want us to surrender?" ”

"Now during the period of recovery, a qiē order is obeyed by the military government! If there is a person who agrees to surrender, it is a Manchu detective, and he will be killed! "Between the full row and the constitution, Cai Yuanpei still thinks that the full row should be the first.

After Shao Lizi heard this, he already understood what Cai Yuanpei was thinking, and immediately went out to make arrangements. The uprising of the military and the government affairs team have no objections, that is, the constitution is really a headache for everyone, Zhong Mei, who has just been appointed as the governor of Zhejiang, asked the Minister of State Cai Guoqing, "Brother Secretary of State, what is going on with the constitution and the parliament?" It's not something you can make in a short period of time, is it? ”

"The constitution is not a problem, a copy can be drafted tomorrow, and in order to amend it in the future, we can call it a provisional constitution. As for the parliament, it is not a problem, in fact, the Zhejiang gentry are all in the Zhejiang Railway Company, as long as they visit Tang Shouqian, the general office of the railway company, if he nods, the parliament can be opened. "It's not Cai Guoqing's hobby to always do some trivial things, he prefers to talk more about military affairs, the constitution and the parliament are unprecedented in China for thousands of years, and Cai Guoqing likes this.

"Then we'll take Tang Shou's latent feelings out and be the speaker?" It's a new student, and the council's set of things is clear.

"If you want to hold a council, you have to invite some famous people to participate." Cai Guoqing explained. "Aren't you worried that you won't be able to hold Hangzhou, as long as the parliament is open and the constitution is promulgated, then we will be invincible."

Cai Guoqing said excitedly, but Zhong Mei smiled and said: "In other words, as soon as the parliament opens, we will all listen to the parliament in the future?" ”

"That's not right." Cai Guoqing said: "The headquarters telegram said that during the liberation period, a qiē order was obeyed by the military government. ”

"When fighting a war, it has always been the military first, which is the common sense." Zhong Mei said: "What I ask is, after the war, do we have to obey this council? ”

"Ahh Cai Guoqing didn't expect Zhong Mei to ask after the war, he was stunned and said: "This, all the countries of the world, as long as there is a parliament, it is not like this." Bu Jin, you can't go against the world's disapproval! In the troubled times, a soldier is the king, Cai Guoqing looked at Zhong Mei with some concern, worried that he would act recklessly.

"I know it's under the council, but it depends on what kind of council. Our revolution is not only for the gentry, but for the 40,000,000 people. As soon as the parliament is opened, the power of the country is transferred to the parliament, and the parliamentarians are those masters, which little people can enter this place? This constitution is not a constitution of 40,000 people, but a constitution of 2 million people. Zhong Mei said with a smile.

"Bu Jin, I understand what you said, but now it's just a matter of rights. We will first pull the gentry over, and then the provinces will definitely be in civil strife because of the constitution, and the Manchus will encircle and suppress us, but they can't, and when the time comes, all the provinces will be constitutional, and we can gather a coalition army to go north to the Central Plains, and return the capital to Beijing. By that time, will the rules not be able to be changed again? "Secretary Cai Guoqing does not disagree with the centralization of power, but the constitution is the same banner as the platoon, and it is really unwise to move out the concept of the revival of the centralization of power under this shape.

Revolution, Constitutionalism, Full ...... These things are really a headache, although Cai Guoqing is right, Zhong Mei is still a little uneasy, but he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't find any problems, so he had to say: "Okay then." Let's power it up! (To be continued......)
