On February 2, 1910, Xiong Kewu and others launched the Jiading Uprising again in southern Sichuan, but failed!
However, a special situation occurred during the Jiading Uprising, which attracted great attention from Sichuan. That is, the party members who participated in the Jiading Uprising were equipped with hundreds of new rifles.
The Revolutionary Party has been able to obtain new rifles in Sichuan, which has greatly alarmed Sichuan officials.
They would never have thought that these rifles came from an inconspicuous place like Rong County!
A connection has been silently formed between Wang Hengyue and the Revolutionary Party.
On the 12th, Ni Yingdian led the Guangzhou New Army uprising!
However, the Qing army was prepared. Li Zhun, the admiral of the navy, was stationed at the east gate and sent commander Wu Zongyu to lead more than 2,000 troops to attack in separate directions. In the afternoon, the two armies met, and Wu Zongyu's troops set up defenses in the Niuwang Temple area. Ni Yingdian was wearing a blue robe and holding a red flag.
, galloping back and forth, commanding the new army to enter the position. Li Jinglian pretended to mediate with Tong Changbiao, and induced Ni Yingdian to come forward for a meeting. Ni Yingdian did not raise any doubts, and expressed his righteousness in person to win the defense camp to act together. Tong Changbiao and others pretended to agree and recommended this
It was necessary to ask the commander for instructions, and he rushed back to the position and ordered to fire. Ni Yingdian was still patrolling the battlefield, when he was injured and fell off his horse. He was snatched by the Qing soldiers and beheaded to death.
After Ni Yingdian died, the rebels launched a fierce attack and fought fiercely for more than an hour. They eventually retreated due to heavy casualties and lack of ammunition. By the next night, all the rebel resistance was suppressed by the Qing army, and the uprising failed.
Also in February, Ziliujing and Gongjing in Sichuan were attacked by the "revolutionary party". Wang Hengyue, the leader of Rong County, personally led his troops to the rescue. After "fighting hard", he successfully repelled the revolutionary party's attack!
The Revolutionary Party's attack on artesian and tribute wells aroused great fear among Sichuan officials. This is an important salt tax area, and if it is lost, serious consequences will inevitably occur.
On March 17, Ma Weiqi, the admiral of Sichuan and patrolling the entire army, 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 established.
With Wang Hengyue, the leader of the second battalion of No. 66 Biao, as the leader of the third battalion, stationed in Rong County, Ziliujing and Gongjing, to guard against attacks by the revolutionary party and bandits, there must be no mistakes!
The day Wang Hengyue and his brothers have been waiting for has finally arrived!
Wang Hengyue finally crossed this hurdle and became a leader! From a gang leader to a leader, this is a qualitative leap!
When Ma Wei Qicai died of illness, Wang Hengyue did not celebrate in a big way, but ordered that personnel be quickly transferred from the armed guards to supplement the third battalion, and at the same time, he recruited troops in three places.
In order to recruit enough soldiers as soon as possible, Wang Hengyue ordered the soldiers' pay to be increased by one tael per month, basically reaching the new military pay standards of other provinces.
The four small cannons, heavy machine guns, and machines purchased by Kleinman were also delivered one after another, giving Wang Hengyue enough weapons to flex his muscles.
At this time, Wang Hengyue already had sufficient capital.
The four salt wells in Rong County brought a steady stream of money. The artesian wells and tribute wells were included in Wang Hengyue's "protection scope", and the tentacles of the "Glory Salt Company" began to spread to these two places.
Wang Hengyue spent 30,000 taels of silver to bribe the commander of the Anding Battalion stationed at the salt factory, the official transportation bureau, and the chief of the arrest department. He also agreed to these people's participation in the shares, and successfully mined two salt wells in Ziliujing and Gongjing.
With eight salt wells in hand, Wang Hengyue has become the third largest salt merchant in the local area!
"Rongxian Co., Ltd." was renamed "Glory Transportation Company" in this year. General Manager Deng Yong vigorously expanded the business and even attempted to extend his reach into salt transportation, but it was too difficult to operate and failed. But Deng Yong
Yong is not in a hurry. He knows very well that with the growth of Wang Hengyue's power, it will only be a matter of time before the "Glory Transportation Company" gets involved in salt transportation.
The operation of the arsenal is also normal.
The new machines purchased by Kleiman have been shipped, which gives the arsenal the ability to manufacture small cannons and imitation heavy machine guns, but there are still certain technical flaws. The three foreign technicians West, forgetting food and sleep, study day and night.
, Wang Hengyue did not rush them. He knew very well that it was only a matter of time before his arsenal produced high-power weapons!
Due to the failure of the Jiading Uprising again, the revolutionary parties such as Long Mingjian lost their newly purchased weapons and had to find Wang Hengyue again and place a contract to order 200 rifles and bullets.
This is a good start.
Cymbal Ding Arsenal cannot just rely on Wang Hengyue’s continuous infusion of funds, but must be able to possess its own hematopoietic ability so that it can enter a healthy development channel!
The Revolutionary Party buys weapons? Beheads? Wang Hengyue doesn’t care anymore. Anyway, the relationship between himself and the Revolutionary Party is constantly in turmoil. If he leaks any information, he will still be charged with beheading!
The foreign teachers hired by the Army Academy have arrived. They can save everything but money. The high wages and good environment give these teachers enough confidence to stay in Rong County.
Wang Hengyue seemed to be particularly concerned about the student named Wang Mingzhang. He mentioned several times that he should focus on cultivating this person, which made his subordinates a little confused. The adults cared so much about Wang Mingzhang, and everyone was named Wang. Could it be that Wang Mingzhang was 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 from the first team of the second battalion to the third battalion. Fortunately, Zhang Xu, the leader of the second battalion, was his ally brother, and there was no
Difficult to stop.
The third battalion was organized into four teams, with Xie Shuixiang, Li Yifeng, and Xu Mu serving as the officers of the first, second, and third teams respectively. Wu Qianlong was promoted to the officer of the fourth team. A pistol team was also established, with Ma Xiao as the team officer;
For the guard team, Huang Zixuan is the team officer; for the artillery team, Liu Sihai is the team officer!
Deng Xia and Peter of the Armed Guards also received orders to continue their expansion. At the same time, a precious heavy machine gun was also assigned to the Armed Guards. Jia Haoyang's security team also received a huge increase!
Speaking of the artillery team, the two Japanese, Sukeyuki Yamamoto and Masahiro Suzuki, have become much more honest. What Wang Hengyue said is absolutely correct. Once these Japanese are defeated by you, they will treat you like dogs.
Begging for mercy.
Yamamoto Sukeyuki and Suzuki Masahiro are quite capable. Yamamoto Sukeyuki is responsible for the installation and maintenance of the cannon, and Suzuki Masahiro is responsible for assisting Liu Sihai in training artillery.
Suzuki Masahiro is still very good at using cannons. Although the training is cruel and inhumane, compared to the future battlefield, no matter how cruel the training is, it is worth it.
Wang Hengyue's massive expansion is all for one purpose:
The year 1911 is coming!
There is not much time left for him. The great era has already begun. When that day comes, the great era will only belong to the strongest.
If you are outdated, no one will give you even a hint of sympathy!
