Volume Two, Crossing the Sea, Chapter Thirteen, Eastern Expedition and Northern Expedition (1)
"Huaxia Daily" got an exclusive opportunity to interview Fang Jianxiong, and the outside media were very dissatisfied with this. Needless to say, the reason is that the hot news in the next stage will be these leaders of the revolutionary party. If you don't report it, no one will read your newspaper.
There is this section in the interview: Question: What do you think of Mr. Sun Wen? Why didn’t you invite him to return to China to preside over the revolution during the call? (This question is immoral enough, but it still needs to be answered.)
"Mr. Sun has been working for the revolution. As a pioneer who violently overthrew the Manchu Qing government through revolutionary means, I admire Mr. Sun's indomitable spirit. Of course, what is more worthy of respect are those martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the revolution. For example, Qiu Jin,
Xu Xilin, the two ancestors. I personally admire their spirit, but objectively speaking, their methods are not advisable!" How do you say this answer? Anyway, it has caused dissatisfaction among many people, and the Tongmenghui will
Needless to say, who are the more admirable people? The two named were from the Liberation Association! The Liberation Association was a little better. After all, whether it was Qiu Jin or Xu Xilin, their failure was based on lack of preparation. Because
At the Liberation Conference in Tokyo at that time, the revolutionary gangs headed by Sun and Tao were holding back their momentum, which triggered the two revolutions in Zhejiang and Anhui. They rushed into battle. As a result, the two people who were defeated and died were not worth it in Fang Jianxiong's opinion.
To tell the truth requires courage. Fang Jianxiong's point of view is that only with strength can you have courage. If you don't have strength, you have to have the courage to work hard! Having courage but no strength to make a revolution is called the courage of an ordinary man. It's not nice to say that these two people died in an injustice.
!
He was originally in a low position as a weakling, but he still had the heart to engage in internal fighting. This kind of revolutionary Fang Jianxiong is very uncomfortable. Who doesn't know how to shout slogans? Throwing bombs is terrorism!
After this report spread, the happiest person was Yuan Shikai. He touched his bald head with one hand with a smile, pointed at the newspaper with the other and said to Yang Shixiang: "This guy is interesting, he is quite to my liking!"
"How can you, an arrogant young man, compete with Gongbao? It's better to resolve the Wuchang issue first." Yang Shixiang said disdainfully, and Yuan Shikai nodded in approval. He felt that Fang Jianxiong was just like that. He was the only one who divided his troops into two.
Road, the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition. Don't you know that dividing the army is a taboo for military strategists? Sun Baoqi's student is still a little inferior after all. When he suffers military losses, he will know how powerful he is.
Fang Jianxiong didn't expect that his words would have such an effect. If you knew it, he would be so happy.
Without further ado, after the oath of war in Wuhu, Fang Jianxiong marched eastward, and Anqing sent the Northern Expeditionary Army with Wang Tianpei as the commander-in-chief. Compared with the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army was much worse, but for Wang Tianpei, this was not the case.
Not important. What is important is that Fang Jianxiong decided to use him when choosing the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army. This shows that Marshal Fang is still very discerning!
Wu Yanggu, who came from Hefei, went north with the army to regain the entire territory of Anhui. Wu Chunyang was more interested in it than anyone else. When Wu Yanggu learned about the Wuchang Uprising, he was very excited and immediately prepared to go to Wuchang to seek help from the Wuchang revolutionaries. He did not think of any other way.
Someone is doing something in Anqing
Just over a day after the Wuchang Uprising. And it was done beautifully. It was successful without leaving a few drops of blood. Wu Yanggu immediately transferred to Anqing and found Wang Tianpei. When he found Wang Tianpei, a group of people from the Alliance were still in a mood. They felt that they had done it.
The officers of the second-line troops have lost their talents!
Wu Yanggu did a lot of ideological work, told the story of Fang Jianxiong's several times of funding the revolution, and greatly praised Fang, and then calmed the group of people down. After Han Yanli's invitation, Fang Jianxiong also called.
Please, Wu Yanggu stays as the general supervisor of discipline of the Anhui Revolutionary Army! In charge of the newly established military police, Fang Jianxiong gave him great power. Any violation of military discipline will be dealt with by him with full authority.
Wu Yanggu happily agreed, because Fang Jianxiong decided to go on the Northern Expedition and just had to wait for the army to be reorganized.
Riding on the horse, watching the team of tens of thousands of people marching northward, Wang Tianpei was very high-spirited. He thought that it would be a good thing to follow Fang Jianxiong. Look at this equipment, it's so good that it makes people's eyes roll.
Blue. But this guy’s revolutionary ideas don’t seem to be compatible with the Tongmenghui and the Liberation Association.
No matter what, if we capture Hefei, we will expand our army!
The vanguard of the Eastern Expedition was Leng Yu's special agent group. This guy was riding on horseback and shouted to everyone: "Brothers, the colorful world in Nanjing is waiting for you, and the wind on the Qinhuai River is fragrant!"
The marching team let out a burst of wild laughter. Leng Yu laughed for a while and shouted: "Listen to me, no one is allowed to be cowardly. For this pioneer officer, I will beg in front of the commander for three days!"
How did the title of Marshal come about? One time, Fang Jianxiong invited his brothers from the training team to drink. When the instructors and instructors kept shouting, Fang Jianxiong claimed to be very awesome: "Do you think that the title of Marshal is more popular?"
a little?"
The shameless Li Muyan immediately said: "If you don't call me a commander, there aren't many in this slow world who are qualified!" Fortunately, he didn't say he was the only one! Someone took the lead, and everyone was flattering him! So everyone changed their name and called him boss.
So handsome!
**After Silk Man transformed into a commander, he was very satisfied to watch the army rolling eastward. Fang Jianxiong would not tell him how to fight. With his military quality, he could handle the small aspects, but not the big ones.
Hold on. Fang Jianxiong, who was very self-aware, completely delegated power. Hamilton's leading staff headquarters was responsible for formulating plans for the entire campaign, and then implemented them with officers at all levels below.
Captain Hamilton, who only became a staff officer of an artillery regiment in the German army, now feels that he has finally found a place to be used. In Germany, it is too difficult to get promoted. If you want to become a general, you have to fight with many people. In China, there is no such thing.
When things happened, he became an artillery instructor, and after reorganization, he became the chief of general staff. Once Nanjing was captured, the title of general was firmly established.
The dream of being a general was about to come true, and Hamilton was more energetic than anyone else. He led a group of freshmen from the teaching team and formed the headquarters with Fang Jianxiong. It can be said that he worked hard.
Wuhu is too close to Nanjing, and it only takes one day at the speed of a rapid march. The Lengyu Special Agent Group at the forefront arrived at Yuhuatai on the outskirts of Nanjing before dark. The combat plan requires strict implementation, and the task of the Special Agent Group is
Clear the way for the whole army and make sure there are no mistakes.
Mr. Fang didn’t plan on making any strange plans. Anyway, he just wanted to defeat ten guilds with one force! He just had to crush them in an upright manner. In order to achieve this goal, Mr. Fang spent all his money. Where else would the heavy artillery brigade come from?
The leading soldiers came back to report that everything was normal at the front and the Qing troops in Nanjing had no intention of attacking.
Although the expedition was launched with great fanfare, the Wuhu side was actually very cautious. Hamilton's German rigorous character was brought to the extreme. The strongest spy group acted as the vanguard and sent out a large number of intelligence personnel in advance. Even if the Nanjing side made the slightest move, they would not be able to escape.
Show surveillance eyes.
Leng Yu ordered to continue surveillance and sent someone to report to Fang Jianxiong. The main force arrived ten miles outside Yuhuatai after dark. Fang Jianxiong ordered to set up camp and set up artillery positions to launch an attack early tomorrow morning.
Zhang Renjun and Tie Liang in Nanjing city fell into serious uneasiness. After the oath of war in Wuhu, everyone in the city knew that the revolutionary army was coming. Zhang Renjun first ordered the Ninth Town to fight, but Xu Shaojian said that they had no ammunition and could not fight.
How dare Zhang Renjun give ammunition to the Ninth Town? This matter will be settled.
I came to Zhang Xun to discuss it, and Marshal Zhang decided to strike first and destroy the Ninth Town first, and then deal with the Anhui Revolutionary Army later. Zhang Renjun firmly objected, believing that the Ninth Town was well-trained and although it did not have much ammunition, the defenders could still defend it.
At Ziling Pass, we had an advantageous position. If we couldn't defeat it and the losses were too great, how could we defend Nanjing? If Nanjing was lost, how could we explain to the court?
Moreover, Zhang Xun quoted Zhu Jiabao's words and said that Fang Jianxiong was very good at training troops, and the patrol battalion was probably no match. He could still hold on due to the geographical advantage. What was the result? In real history, the coalition forces of Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu provinces only numbered more than 10,000 people.
The patrol battalion was unable to withstand the 20,000-year-old Jiang. Is Marshal Zhang’s braided army really not that good?
Zhang Xun was born in Fengxin, Jiangxi. He was born into a family of small businessmen. He joined the army in Changsha in his early years and later served as the governor of Guangxi, Su Yuanchun. He once did something. Su Yuanchun spent all the money Su Yuanchun gave him to buy arms on food, drinking and gambling.
However, Su Yuanchun still refused to deal with it and just sent him away. During the Gengzi Incident, Zhang Xun was in Yuan Shikai's department. While Yuan Datou clamored for the Southeast Joint Security Forces, he sent Zhang Xun out and brought a miscellaneous army out of Shandong Qinwang to rescue him.
Because of his meritorious service in rescuing the Japanese, Zhang Xun rose rapidly and rose through the ranks. In 1910, he took over the Jiangfang camp and was later promoted to the governor of Jiangnan. Zhang Xun was a determined counter-revolutionary in Nanjing. He also killed many suspected revolutionaries, and then
Hang your head out to show the public. This guy was in Nanjing. Anyone who "cut his hair, wore a white cloth, or carried a white cloth was often brutally killed." After the Wuchang Uprising, Xu Shaojie persuaded Zhang Renjun to commit suicide. Zhang Xun shouted: "To commit suicide is to rebel, and to do otherwise is to rebel."
A thief!"
Zhang Xun didn't care much about the Anhui Revolutionary Army's attack. What he cared about was the Ninth Town, and the main force was in the direction of Ziling Pass. After Wuhu pledged his troops, Zhang Xun learned that he shifted his attention slightly, but still nothing
The additional troops in the direction of Wuhu gave Commander Cheng Wenjun four battalions of troops, a full force of 2,000 men. Considering the terrain of Yuhuatai, Zhang Xun felt that this amount of troops was enough for defense.
Cheng Wenjun, a hard-working man, begged Zhang Xun again and again, saying that there were tens of thousands of Anhui revolutionary troops, but two thousand soldiers could do nothing. After pleading all night, Zhang Xun agreed to give him another battalion head, and said: "The ninth town is the
A serious problem!"
As the Wuhu army approached Nanjing, Huyan Aobo's troops, who set out for He County one day in advance, quickly rushed to Pukou with a ** brigade. Huyan Aobo is a typical die-hard fan of the Fang family. He doesn't care whether it is a revolutionary party or not. His eyes
There is only a marshal here. Otherwise, how could he, a poor scholar's son, have the chance to become a brigade commander? He has thousands of brothers under his command!!~!
