Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 996

The Zhejiang Revolutionary Military Government was established in Zhejiang's temporary governor's office that night.

Why is it the temporary governor's office?
Because the Governor’s Yamen and Buzheng Yamen in Zhejiang were originally located in Mancheng, and later because of rumors that the governor was going to attack the Bannermen, Wang Danwang was worried that something would happen in Mancheng, so he temporarily moved the Governor’s Yamen to Wulin three months ago. The current location outside the gate, the Buzheng Yamen was moved to Wangjiangmen.

Mr. Bai may not be a good official, but he is definitely a revolutionary with fighting spirit, and he is also a first-class hero of the Restoration Society!
His death completely cut off the retreat of Zhejiang civil and military forces, and fired the first shot of Hangzhou's recovery.

It's all over the grass, and there is nothing to study, so hurry up and pull the team up to do it.

Under the unanimous election of important civil and military officials in Zhejiang, Wang Danwang took up the post of Governor of Zhejiang Military Government.

Qing Fantai served as the governor of the Zhejiang Revolutionary Army.

Although Qingfantai didn't know how to lead troops to fight at all, and he was still an authentic Manchurian bannerman, all the colleagues who elected him had full trust in him.

The military government was proposed by Mr. Weng Tongwen, a member of the Restoration Association and Zhejiang Xuezheng.

It's not Weng Lao's idea, but the idea of ​​building the government after the revolution in the "Regulations of the Restoration Society" that he carried with him.

The Restoration Society believes that the governor, governor, and chief minister are all feudal bureaucratic systems, which are extremely unscientific. Therefore, after the success of the revolution, the governor, governor, and chief minister should be replaced by the governor, and the admiral and chief soldier should be replaced by the warlord.

In the government system, there is no longer the establishment of the inspectorate, food and salt, etc., but the functions of the former chief executive and the inspectorate are replaced by the grain department, the traffic department, and the police department.

As for whether to recognize the reform regime in the north after the success of the revolution, it remains to be discussed.

Because the program of the Restoration Society firmly disagrees with the Manchurians leading the country again, that is, they will never recognize Emperor Aixinjueluo.

"No, after our revolution is successful, we want to oppose the reform and start a war with the North?"

King Qing, who was elected to the post of military governor, was keenly aware that something was wrong. If he wanted to follow the approach of the Restoration Council, wouldn't it be his father-in-law who took the lead in rebelling against his son-in-law, Aixinjueluo, who was the emperor?

How can this work!

His Zhang Jia family is all in the capital.

Under suspicion, he couldn't help asking Weng Xuetai quietly: "Master Weng, is there something wrong?"

"There is a problem."

Weng Laoxuetai didn't hide his impressions, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while, anyway, that's how the instructions he received and the chapters he received were like this.

Li Taichao, the Liang Dao of the third phase of the Mutual Aid Association, shook his hands slightly, and said in a low voice: "This society has not even captured Mancheng, so it is meaningless to discuss the following matters. I think it is better to put aside the debate and deal with Mancheng together. After the recovery, let's brainstorm again."

This is a well-worn opinion.

Both the Gongjinhui and the Tiandihui think so.

Wang Danwang also meant the same thing.

Immediately after his inauguration, he gave a simple condolence speech for Bai Weixin, the procurator who died heroically, and renamed Hangzhou Wulin Gate as Weixin Gate to commemorate this revolutionary who died before he could leave the army.

At this time, Wan Hui, the deputy general of the Zhejiang Green Camp, had already led people to attack Mancheng.

The inauguration ceremony of the military government held by the temporary governor's office was just for the adults to pass the time.

Of course, the new Governor Wang also made effective arrangements.

First of all, it is to order that women and children should not be killed after the city is conquered, as well as bannermen who have not resisted.

Of course, this was something Qing Guozhang repeatedly asked for.

Secondly, it was ordered that after the various departments of the Green Camp broke through the city, the general's yamen, the capital's yamen, the Xieling and the Eight Banners' warehouses in the city could be distributed by the officers and soldiers except for food and ordnance.

This one was proposed by Ma Wanjiu of Zhejiang Yandao, who was born in the Gongjinhui.

It is quite effective to encourage officers and soldiers to attack the city bravely.

Finally, in the name of the new governor, they sent people to mobilize the gentry and wealthy people in the outer city. Those who paid people gave people, and those who paid money paid money. They were not allowed to watch anyway, even if they were delivering water and food to the siege officers and soldiers.

"Tell them, whoever dares not support the military government, all the previous debts between the governor and them will be terminated on the spot!"

Master Wang made a loud noise.

If you want money, you have to work hard, and if you don't work hard, you have something to say.

What does the money owed by the former governor have to do with me, the current governor?
So how many troops does the military government have?

The first is the two battalions of pacesetters adjusted by the former Zhejiang governor, each battalion has 1450 people, and the two battalions together with officers have a total of 3120 people.

There are also three battalions of Zhejiang admirals and pacesetters, each with 800 soldiers, and a total of 2620 officers and soldiers.

Since the admiral of Zhejiang has been vacant since the 19th year of Qianlong, the three battalions of admirals are also under the direct command of the governor.

The nearly [-] officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion are the main force of the green battalion in Hangzhou, and the most elite unit of the Zhejiang green battalion.

In addition, there are more than 2400 garrison soldiers in Hangzhou, and more than 1900 green battalion soldiers transferred from Jiaxing and Huzhou.

In other words, the urgently established Zhejiang military government now has a total of over [-] troops that can be mobilized in the provincial capital.

Correspondingly, the Eight Banners soldiers stationed in the city are also in the early [-]s.

The two sides are evenly matched.

The weapons and equipment are about the same.

Therefore, although rumors were flying everywhere, neither Zhejiang Governor Wang Danwang nor Hangzhou General Cheng De dared to take decisive measures to preemptively act first.

They are afraid that they will not be able to kill each other.

It's all right now, if you don't do it, you have to do it.

As the military government issued orders one after another, the various departments of the green battalion stationed in the outer city of Hangzhou quickly assembled, shouting slogans of revenge for Bai Jingtai, and launched a raging attack on all the gates of the city.

There are five gates in Hangzhou Mancheng, which are Pinghai Gate guarded by Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria, Chengqian Gate guarded by Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria, Yanling Gate guarded by Zhenglan Banner of Manchuria, Gongchen Gate guarded by Zhenghong Banner of Manchuria, and gate guarded by Bordered White Banner of Manchuria. Welcome to the Purple Gate.

The explosion from the temporary governor's yamen outside the Wulin Gate really alarmed the Eight Banners soldiers in the city. After the Green Battalion soldiers outside the city attacked the Mancheng, the Zhenghuang Banner defense stationed at the Chengqian Gate even said dismissively to the left and right: "The thieves of the Han army are all mobs. Our army can win in less than an hour!"

Afterwards, Nai rode a white horse and led more than [-] bannermen to open the door and protrude, trying to disperse the green battalion soldiers gathered outside the gate, but was knocked down by the battalion with a gun, and all the bannermen were chopped to death.

Erte's death caused the whole city to suffer, Zhejiang deputy general Wan Hui took the opportunity to rush into Chengqianmen, and all of a sudden, the city was in chaos, and the sound of killing came from Chengqianmen to the Daxiaochang, the artillery field, and the inspection station. , Arrow Hall, Nanliangcang, and Eight Banners Guild Hall have been passed on to the leading offices of the various banners, and they are all unified until the General Yamen in Hangzhou.

The revolutionary army who invaded the city set fire to it wantonly, and killed all the soldiers in armor and banners.

The banner soldiers stationed in various places in the city encountered a sudden change, and it was night. It was impossible to know how many Han soldiers had entered the city. In addition, there was panic everywhere, and the result can be imagined.

Many flag soldiers who were originally worthy were so frightened after the Han army entered the city that they threw away their weapons and fled home, trembling with their wives and children in their arms.

The admiral's guerrilla fighter Song Chunlin personally led troops to attack the general's yamen. The original guards in the yamen and hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers who retreated gathered to resist, making the Song army unable to attack for a long time.

When he was in a hurry, a young sentry officer from Fenghua volunteered to organize a death squad of more than [-] people. They climbed over the wall against the sharp arrows of the flag soldiers inside the wall. After killing several Eight Banners soldiers, the group of Banners soldiers dared not resist any more, and surrendered one after another.

The sentry officer ignored the soldiers and rushed into the backyard of the Yamen with a death squad to capture Hangzhou General Chengde and his family alive.

So far, the whole city of Hangzhou has declared its recovery.
