Chapter 423: The Domestic Situation Cannot Be Hesitant
If you don't make money, you are a fool, so taking advantage of the time when Edward VII was no longer present, Li Ningyu and Duleazi reached another sky-high arms purchase.
Three Typhoon-class strategic submarines will be delivered within two years, with a total price of 24 million Asian dollars. The Far East Group can earn more than half of this military purchase. Why?
Because some high-precision instruments and system equipment will not appear on the Typhoon-class submarines sold by the Far East to Saudi Arabia. At the same time, the construction materials used are not of the same grade as the Typhoon-class submarines of the Far East. In this way, the cost is less than half, and the profit is
More than half.
This kind of submarine is called Typhoon-class B-type submarine in the Far East. Just after King Edward VII came back happily, Li Ningyu and Duleazi also showed a knowing smile, while Kong Xiaoping was snickering on the side.
, couldn't help but drag Tie Bing to the telegraph room, seemingly ready to tell him the new story he had just heard.
In the huge plan conceived in Li Ningyu's mind, half of the negotiations on the African artery have been completed. Coupled with the military purchase from Saudi Arabia, he was naturally in a very good mood. Edward VII and Duleazi also had their own concerns, but they were all resolved, so
Next, the three of them talked about their affairs in the command car.
But everything changed after Tie Bing and Kong Xiaoping hurriedly appeared in the telegraph room.
"Master Yu, a message from General Peng De of the Northern War Zone!"
After nodding to Edward and Duleazi, Li Ningyu stood up and walked towards Kong Xiaoping. After receiving the message, he immediately read it carefully.
"The Governor-General of the Chinese Hubei Army announced a message to people at home, a message from the Revolutionary Army asking for Manchu Qing, and a top-secret message to Mr. Yu!" Looking at the three different messages in front of him, Li Ningyu first read Peng De's message.
On February 27, 1901, the royal cabinet of the late Qing government once again showed that the late Qing government had no intention to establish a constitution, which greatly disappointed the constitutionalists everywhere. In addition to the previously announced railway state-owned policy, the privately funded Guangdong-Hankou Railway was withdrawn.
Sichuan
This move by the late Qing government aroused strong dissatisfaction among the major strata in the four provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guangdong, so a joint road protection movement was launched in the four provinces. Coupled with the subsequent Wuchang Uprising, the four provinces
The current situation in the province has particularly strong reactions.
Since the Wuchang Uprising, the rebel army has been engaged in fierce battles with the Qing Dynasty's late Qing army in the Wuhan area, but they have shown signs of failure due to outstrength.
However, due to the chain reaction of this uprising, uprising troops appeared in all four provinces, and the number continued to increase. The victims of the revolutionary army were mostly elite members of the association, as well as civilians who supported the revolution.
On February 28, various non-governmental organizations were established in Sichuan. They posted notices everywhere in the province, organized lectures everywhere, and even some representatives went to Beijing to petition.
On the same day, Guangzhou launched a joint action to strike the city and classes. On February 28, at the call of the revolutionaries, Guangzhou launched protests. However, Guangzhou General Erfeng trapped the leaders of the Revolutionary Party and sent troops to impose martial law throughout the city. This move aroused a large number of people.
The crowd went to the General's Mansion to sit-in and petition, but Erfeng ordered the gunfire to suppress the protest. More than 230 petitioners were killed on the spot, leading to a massacre in Guangzhou.
Therefore, on February 29, a team of revolutionaries and the masses directly besieged the provincial capital and started fighting with the Guangzhou New Army. As a result, nearby people responded one after another, and the revolutionary army grew to more than 20,000 people within a few days.
When the late Qing government learned that Guangzhou had provoked a civil uprising and that Chengdu was under siege, it was very frightened. It first dismissed Guangzhou General Erfeng from his post and at the same time ordered some of the new troops from Fujian to enter Guangdong.
On March 1, 1901, Emperor Guangxu ordered the abolition of the Military Aircraft Department of the late Qing government, and directly announced the appointment of cabinet officials and the appointment of prime ministers and ministers. However, more than half of the announced list of main members were still from the clan royal family and Manchu nobles, so they were immediately
Revolutionaries derided it as the "royal cabinet".
As a result, public opinion was greatly disappointed and dissatisfied. Therefore, a large number of constitutionalists devoted themselves to the struggle to overthrow the late Qing government. The revolutionaries in the above four provinces have launched more than ten armed uprisings, but they have failed repeatedly.
However, according to intelligence, the revolutionary group has begun to receive financial support from a large number of overseas Chinese.
After the success of the Wuchang Uprising, on February 29, the new army led by Yuan Shikai took a hold on Hankou and began to hold secret talks with the revolutionary army.
Everything seems to be proceeding according to the pace of history. Mr. Wang Yu made a decision quickly, otherwise there might be changes later, so Peng De drafted it himself.
After reading Peng De's message, Li Ningyu frowned. Both Li Ningyu and Peng De knew about the Wuchang Uprising and the subsequent developments, so Peng De would add his own opinions this time. If everything is correct,
Afterwards, uprisings and independence will be announced across the country. At that time, Yuan Shikai will cooperate with the revolutionary army to overthrow the late Qing government and eventually become emperor himself.
Although these things will not happen so quickly, the situation will be one of warlord separatism. This is something Li Ningyu does not want to see, so after lighting a cigarette, Li Ningyu took out the revolutionary army's slogan to fight against the Manchus.
"From the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, the hatred of the nine generations, the righteousness of the clan, the gods and the splendor... Due to the chaos, they stole my artifacts and enslaved my race for two hundred and sixty-eight years... In the past, the Sangui closed the gate, and the Han family began to overthrow... In the past
My ancestor Huangdi Zhao
Created in the middle of the Xia Dynasty, there are nine things that are about to happen, culture is exquisite, unique in the universe, and the history is brilliant, more than four thousand years... There are fierce forces in the four directions, heroes in the world, since they have judged this righteousness, it is appropriate for each to lead his children, take advantage of the opportunity to leap up, and gather to respond...
"
Attached to the Chinese song: The earth is murderous, the dragon rises in the Central Plains, the good man washes his hands to order the world; draws his sword and cuts off Hu Tianyun. Restore China, complete my freedom, honor both the family and the country. The joy and benefits are flourishing, and the world is at peace.
, the happiness at home and abroad is boundless. Good man! Hold up your shoulders and shoulder this responsibility!
After reading a long article criticizing Manchuria, Li Ningyu just shook his head, because it was completely anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty. It is no wonder that the fruits of victory of the final revolution were stolen by Yuan Shikai, an old man, and eventually led to the separatism of domestic warlords.
, making the people even more miserable.
After smoking one cigarette, then another, and after half a pack of cigarettes, Li Ningyu understood that the domestic situation had reached a point where there was no time to hesitate, so he took up a pen and wrote on the back of the message: "Order! Northeast
The field group army will deploy a reorganized division and be on standby in the three northeastern provinces and the Beijing-Tianjin area!"
"Order! Allocate two divisions from North Korea to stand by in the three eastern provinces. Two divisions will be allocated from Taiwan and Ryukyu each. The South China Sea Fleet will assist in transporting troops. They will land in Fujian and Zhejiang and stand on standby around Shanghai and Jiangxi. Four divisions will be allocated from South Asia.
Troops are on standby around Yunnan and Guangxi!"
"All ministries are incorporated into the Far East Special Expedition Army, and Zhang Zuolin is appointed as the commander of the corps, Kong Xiaoping is the deputy commander and chief of staff of the corps, and Cai Songpo is the deputy chief of staff of the corps!" After this message was sent, Kong Xiaoping and Kong Xiaoping were newly appointed.
Cai Songpo took a car back to Dammam on the way to Riyadh. The two of them planned to take a Far East warship from here to return to Asia, but it would take 20 days at the earliest. Fortunately, they could communicate the progress of the situation by radio.
