Crimson Dawn

Chapter 131 no_name

Among the uprisings in the late Qing Dynasty, the Anqing Uprising led by Xu Xilin was a very famous one.

In order to achieve the goal of anti-Manchurianism, Xu Xilin and others gradually came up with the idea of ​​"powering the Qing court with art". They planned to use the method of donating officials to make the members of the Restoration Association learn military affairs and take the opportunity to break into the Qing court to gain military power.So he donated a member title to the Qing court, referring to the Anhui alternate.After various activities, in the winter of 1905, funded by Shaoxing Xu Kecheng and recommended by Xu Xilin's cousin and Hunan governor Yu Liansan, Xu Xilin, Ma Zonghan and Chen Boping each donated official positions and were allowed to go to Taiwan to study the army.But after the Communist Party of China, due to the obstruction of the Qing government's minister in Japan, the plan to study the army was destroyed, and he had no choice but to return to China.

After returning to the country, Xu Xilin and others planned to further infiltrate the government and "use power to seize the court".By mobilizing and utilizing the relationships of all parties, Xu Xilin managed to organize the Anqing Army Primary School.Later, due to the recommendation of his cousin Yu Liansan and the shrewdness of Xu Xilin himself, he was finally reused by the governor of Anhui, Enming, in the 32nd year of Guangxu.In winter, he arrived in Anqing and reported to Fuyuan. After being received by Enming, he was appointed Yin as Anhui policeman.He carefully flattered him, worshiped En Ming as his teacher, and En Ming Yin as his confidant, and appointed him concurrently as the president of the Patrol Academy.Xu Xilin eats the salary of the Qing court, but never reforms his ambition. In February 1907, Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin agreed to hold an anti-Qing armed uprising in Anhui and Zhejiang simultaneously.The uprising was originally scheduled to be held on July 2. Because a party member was arrested in Shanghai and confessed some aliases and codes of the revolutionaries, Duan Fang, governor of Liangjiang, ordered En Ming to take action.Enming summoned Xu Xilin for a discussion. Seeing that his alias was on the list, Xu Xilin decided to act righteously when the graduation ceremony was held on July 7th at the Patrol Academy.Unexpectedly, Enming had something to do that day and asked to advance the graduation ceremony two days, but the uprising had to be held on the 19th.Without foreign aid, the preparations are not yet complete, and the uprising is worrying.

On July 1907, 7, Xu Xilin, member of the Anhui Patrol Office and supervisor of the Patrol Academy, planned and organized the assassination of Anhui Governor Enming in Anqing, and led the student army to revolt and captured the Ordnance Institute. After 6 hours of fierce fighting, the uprising failed , Xu Xilin and others were arrested and died generously.

But now Chen Ke has returned to 1905, and has a lot of dealings with Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin.But I don't know how Xu Xilin's current situation is, whether it is still the same as in history.

"The Xu Xilin mentioned by Wen Qing is the head teacher of Anqing Army Primary School?" Pu Guanshui listened to Chen Ke's question about Xu Xilin, and thought for a while before answering.

"It's him." Chen Ke was a little excited.

"Oh, this Xu Xilin often goes to the new army for nothing. And he also has a relative named Qiu Jin who also came to Anqing and opened a girls' school. It is very famous in Anqing."

History has indeed changed!Chen Ke thought helplessly.Historically, Qiu Jin was preparing to revolt with Xu Xilin in Anhui and Shaoxing at the same time.As a result, Xu Xilin failed and the news leaked out.Qiu Jin was arrested in Shaoxing Datong Academy and died two days later.Now Qiu Jin actually went to Anhui, and opened a girls' school in Anqing.This variable made Chen Ke a little puzzled.

"Does Wen Qing know these two people?" Pu Guanshui saw some clues.

"I know. These two people are both from the Revolutionary Party. But they belong to the Restoration Society. They are not the same as us."

"No wonder, Xu Xilin always runs to the new army. He is very active in communicating with each other. It seems that he wants to encourage the new army to rebel." Pu Guanshui's voice contained some malicious intentions.

Chen Ke could understand that Pu Guanshui regarded the Anhui New Army as his territory.Regardless of whether Xu Xilin was a revolutionary party or not, first of all Xu Xilin tried to encourage the new army to revolt, which disrupted Pu Guanshui's calculations.Naturally, Pu Guanshui didn't have a good impression of Xu Xilin.

Pu Guanshui suddenly smiled and said: "Since Wen Qing mentioned Xu Xilin, I think he already has plans. Let's talk about it."

"Although Anqing is the provincial capital of Anhui, it is located in a corner of Anhui. I want to follow the route of the common people, start from the countryside, and surround the cities from the countryside. So Anqing means little to me. However, if Anqing is destroyed by the revolution If the army conquers it, Anhui will inevitably be in chaos. Wouldn't it be possible for us to save a lot of trouble?" Chen Ke has no bad feelings for Xu Xilin himself, and it can even be said that he has a good impression of him.But Chen Ke believes that personal feelings must not play an important role on the road to revolution.Sometimes sacrifices are necessary.

Pu Guanshui is a smart person, and he understood what Chen Ke meant when he heard it.He laughed and said, "Did Wen Qing ask me to help this Xu Xilin? Once Anqing is captured by the revolutionary army, Wen Qing can immediately attack Fengyang Mansion. With 8000 people in your hands, it is really easy to take down Fengyang Mansion. At any time, they can move freely from east to west. On the one hand, Anqing’s revolutionary army has to guard against the Qing army on the Yangtze River. Moreover, Anqing is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so it is very inconvenient to march and fight. As long as they can persist for a year, no, as long as If you can persist for half a year, Wen Qing will be able to win a lot of territory."

"Probably so. But Guanshui, you can stay here for two months. I suggest you take a good look at what kind of new world the Fengtai County base area is going to build. After reading the base area, you will know how to help Xu Xilin It's gone." Having said that, Chen Ke suddenly sighed. "Mr. Xu is a revolutionary, which I admire very much. But this time, Mr. Xu can only start the uprising by himself. I will hide behind to take advantage of it."

These words were so subtle, Pu Guanshui laughed out loud after hearing this. "Wen Qing, don't be afraid. Even if this Mr. Xu became the king's pioneer, I wouldn't think that Wen Qing deliberately tricked him. Although I am not familiar with Mr. Xu, I have heard of seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence. Since there is an uprising , Then of course, you will raise your head and rush forward. If you succeed, you will be a real hero. If you only want to instigate others to die, or engage in some conspiracy such as assassination, you deserve to die."

Regarding Pu Guanshui's words, Chen Ke didn't know whether it was Pu Guanshui's encouragement or something else.After all, this is the scheming person behind the scenes, and it also belongs to the category of conspiracy.

Pu Guanshui saw that Chen Ke was still a little bit unbearable, and couldn't help but said: "Wen Qing, don't think that you are sorry for this Mr. Xu. If you didn't tell me now, this Mr. Xu is in the new army. If something happened inside, I wanted to kill him. In fact, I don’t like the revolutionary party like Sun Wen the most. Wen Qing, you have been to Beijing, and you should know how many people want revolution. But why don’t these people Ken and Sun Wen are in the same boat, because the nonsense of those democratic republics is the same as not saying it. Many people are really waiting to see who can take up the heavy responsibility. The guy who just makes others rebel dies. Wen Qing, you are doing practical things, which is completely different from them. I don't think Wen Qing, you are immoral."

Since Pu Guanshui said so, Chen Ke could only believe it.After lunch, Hua Xiongmao had basically selected the personnel for dispatch.Go home and have a look, what seems to be a very simple thing is actually as complicated as a large-scale battle.First of all, these 82 officers and soldiers are scattered in [-] counties. How to send these soldiers and the accompanying soldiers of the insurance regiment to their destinations, and how to communicate with each other.How to get the news within the agreed time, and how to pick up and drop off the families of these new army officers and soldiers.

Ba Yougong consciously thought that his military ability was very good, but in fact, the first thing completely stumped Ba Yougong.There is no map of Anhui.Pu Guanshui's Xinjun map is of poor quality.Chen Ke provided the map of Anhui.He Ying didn't do anything else these days. Under Chen Ke's guidance, she used translucent paper to trace a lot of hiking maps that Chen Ke brought from the 21st century.In particular, the map of Anhui has been basically drawn.These base maps are then made into more detailed maps by the Surveying and Mapping Section of the Insurance Corps.As soon as such a detailed map was taken out, Ba Yougong was dumbfounded.Compared with the map brought by Pu Guanshui, this map is more detailed than 01:30.The officers and soldiers of the new army looked at the mountains, hills, and many place names on the map. After comparing them with their memories, they were able to roughly find the exact location of their home.

With the specific location, there is the marching route, where to gather, and how to go home.How far is the road and how long will it take.Among the personnel brought by Pu Guanshui is the staff department he personally trained.With the addition of the General Staff of the Insurance Corps, the first real modern combat of the Insurance Corps began.

All the officers above the 359 brigade and company level attended the military meeting.After hearing what Chen Ke said, these soldiers without modern military knowledge felt a kind of confusion.Everything Chen Ke said made sense, but everyone didn't understand everything.Why make things so complicated?This is the common confusion of the officers of the insurance regiment.

"Brigade Commander, isn't it just to go home. Let's all work harder and work harder. Is it worth such a trouble?" Wu Xingwang asked.He is a native of Fengtai County.He has followed Yuwen Batu since the Shanghai era.Now he is the company commander of the 413th company of the second regiment.For various data calculations, line planning.Wu Xingwang couldn't understand the significance of this matter at all.

Chen Ke said with a smile: "I now hope that everyone can complete this matter within a month. After one month, the transportation force of the insurance group will be transferred to other work, and it is impossible to devote more energy to do this."

"One month?" Wu Xingwang was confused.There are more than a dozen regions, some of which are four or five hundred miles away from Fengtai County.Complete a round trip within a month, and bring an unknown number of people with you when you come back.The comrades immediately felt that the complexity of the matter was far beyond the homework on paper.Not only Wu Xingwang, but everyone else frowned.

This is already a huge plan beyond the imagination of these comrades, and everyone knows that it is absolutely impossible for them to complete such a large-scale planning work alone.The comrades looked at Chen Ke with different eyes.

There are many people who can consistently maintain a serious attitude, such as Shang Yuan, He Zudao, Xiong Mingyang, Hei Daoren, Lu Huitian, and several other comrades.And most comrades either think things are simple, or they think things are complicated.

"Neither humble nor overbearing", "guard against arrogance and impetuosity", these words are all admonitions for those who cannot face problems realistically. *** has written various articles specifically to talk about being able to "seek truth from facts", but Chen Ke always felt that he could not understand it before.This time, he suddenly realized why some comrades looked arrogant or impetuous, while others were completely different.From Chen Ke's point of view, those comrades who are emotionally unstable, the first thing they want is to achieve a certain goal.As long as it can achieve this goal, they will do anything.

However, Chen Ke was not angry. This behavior only showed one thing, these comrades were inexperienced.Chen Ke also had such impetuous days back then, first he advanced aggressively, and then he got a bit of a nosebleed at the slightest, and at the worst, his head was broken.Then start to be afraid.Do things to shrink your feet.This is all human nature, and Chen Ke doesn't think there is a problem with such an attitude.If the comrades had enough experience, they would naturally not behave like this.

The officers and soldiers of the Anhui New Army had a very consistent attitude, and they all hoped to return home as soon as possible to settle the affairs at home.Everyone returned home like an arrow.

The staff department with Pu Guanshui and Chen Ke as the core began to operate.The staff department is the first to be divided into three departments, the route formulation department, the distance calculation department, and the logistics planning department.

The insurance regiment is forcibly educated, and those who can enter the staff must master culture, arithmetic, and basic military skills.Pu Guanshui's staff department pays more attention to professional training, and the basic knowledge training is much worse.The insurance group is much stronger.

The first is to look at the map and determine the orientation.Then the various information collected by the insurance group over the past six months came in handy.It cannot be said that a straight line drawn on a map is a route.Humans are not birds, if you say that you can fly a straight line, you can fly a straight line.Crossing mountains and rivers requires detours.In addition to the constraints of the natural environment, the constraints of human factors are equally important.Wherever there are checkpoints, there will be obstacles.The information collected by the insurance group and the information provided by the officers and soldiers of the Anhui New Army need to be carefully considered.factored into the plan.

Once a route was determined, dozens of abacus were dialed.The distance and the speed of each person all need to be calculated.

Hua Xiongmao and Chai Qingguo contributed a lot to the formulation of this military plan.Both of them are people who have traveled far and wide, and they have very practical experience and views on long-distance marches.Hua Xiongmao is relatively calm, and he is considered a red face. For those who have too radical plans, such as those who think that they can walk more than 100 miles a day, Hua Xiongmao will look at the other party very seriously and question, "When there is no road How do you walk a hundred miles a day?"

Chai Qingguo satirized those conservative plans, "Walk thirty miles a day? You can climb it."

As Pu Guanshui's deputy, Ba Youjoo also participated in the approval of the plan.But Ba Yougong didn't say much, the artillery leader was not good at this kind of plan, and he was very self-confident, and he didn't want to make mistakes in public.

After spending two days summarizing everyone's routes, they have to be summed up again for an integrated plan.A variety of one-, two-, and three-dimensional equations are listed on pieces of draft paper and blackboards.In the staff department, only Chen Ke and a few people knew advanced mathematics, so everyone stopped doing calculus for the time being.If there was a long list of equations on the blackboard, including various professional symbols and more than a dozen important parameters, most people in the staff department would probably go crazy.

It took four days to figure out a preliminary plan.Chen Ke felt that this plan was rough and outrageous.Many factors are not accounted for.Even this rough plan allowed Chen Ke to fully understand the power of industrialized China in the 21st century. If the squadron of the 21st century were planning, there would be computers in the software and roads, railways, and airplanes in the hardware.There are satellites for communication, there are wireless phones and landline phones.Plans can be drawn up in great detail.

The current plan is just to tell everyone when to start and when to meet, how long and how much to walk every day to achieve this goal.As for the specific situation along the way, it is up to these comrades to use their subjective initiative to overcome various difficulties and emergencies.

On the one hand, the staff taught these plans to the officers and soldiers of the Anhui New Army, and on the other hand, they prepared transportation capacity and dry food along the way according to the plan.It is also necessary to teach everyone some methods of filtering drinking water and provide portable drinking water equipment.

For the first time, the officers of the insurance regiment realized that fighting a war is such a complicated matter.The officers and soldiers of the Anhui New Army originally thought that the insurance regiment was just a group of country bumpkins, old-fashioned fools who needed them to teach them military knowledge.After seeing the insurance group's ability to formulate detailed plans, they looked at the insurance group with admiration, and were even convinced.

Whether it is the insurance group or the Anhui new army, they all admire Chen Ke and Pu Guanshui who led the crowd to formulate the plan.

Before setting off, Chen Ke and Pu Guanshui repeatedly emphasized the discipline, as well as the attitude of exerting subjective initiative, overcoming all difficulties, and accomplishing goals.

The new temporary mixed force has more than 400 people.Everyone lined up neatly, listening to the mobilization.Pu Guanshui delivered the order with a serious expression. "There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, but if you stop in front of this hurdle, you will never get over it."

Chen Ke was not as excited as Pu Guanshui, after all these soldiers were going home to save their families.They will never back down.The question now is whether the main transportation force can withstand the obstacles and difficulties from all walks of life.

At this time, Pu Guanshui said loudly: "I will lead everyone personally. I am speaking right now. Anyone who dares to block us along the way, we will beat them to death. Did you hear me!"

"I heard it!" All the officers and soldiers involved in this operation shouted together.

Pu Guanshui's voice was originally high, but after listening to everyone's reply, his voice became even higher, "Besides, I don't care what the New Army did before. Now everyone is going to save people, and they are all brothers." Have you learned the song “Discipline, Eight Points of Attention”? After this departure, everyone will sing it ten times. This time, we will do what is sung in this song. The officers and soldiers are united, and the top and bottom are consistent. Let everyone’s relatives settle down All right, get them all rescued."

During the operation of the General Staff Department, it was impossible for everyone to work non-stop. During the break, Chen Ke taught the military songs of the insurance regiment such as "Three Disciplines, Eight Points of Attention", "Unity is Strength", and "Little Baiyang" to the Anhui New Army The officers and soldiers of the new army, these healthy and vigorous classic songs of later generations, also quickly captured the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the new army in 1906.It also captured Pu Guanshui's heart.

"Comrades who stay in Fengtai County must obey the orders of Brigadier Chen. I will teach others what should be taught. What should be learned from others should be learned from them. Don't think that they are local Yes, the ones in our provincial capital are better than others, and everyone has seen it this time, there are many places where they are better than us. Teach hard, learn hard! Did you hear that?"

"I heard it!" The new officers who stayed in Fengtai County also responded.This is their sincere attitude. The operation of the staff department this time has indeed dispelled the arrogance of these new army officers and soldiers that "I am the best in the world".

"Go to eat now, leave after eating. Disband!" Pu Guanshui shouted.

"Kill!" The officers and soldiers of the insurance regiment shouted in unison.Only a small half of the officers and soldiers of the Anhui New Army remembered this rule during the training during the two-day rest period.They also shouted in unison.

"Look, look! This is what you have to learn." Pu Guanshui said loudly, many officers and soldiers of the new army blushed, and Pu Guanshui shouted again: "One more time. Disband!"

"Kill!" More than 400 people shouted in unison.Then, everyone started to disperse in order to eat.

Lunch is simple and quick to eat.The luggage was ready, and the soldiers carried their marching packages on their backs and lined up neatly.According to the plan, there were 200 people in the first group. Pu Guanshui watched the comrades line up in an orderly manner.Then I turned my head, "Wen Qing, then I'll go first. I'll take care of the outside affairs. I'll hurry up and transport the food back."

Chen Ke nodded slightly, "Guan Shui, thank you for your hard work."

"I originally wanted to help Wen Qing this time, but let Wen Qing help us a lot. I am really ashamed."

"Haha, I didn't even go out of the barracks. How can I help you? If you want to say such polite words, wait until the comrades in the new army have settled their families. I will wait for you and the comrades in the new army to come sooner. Finish your work and come back early."

"I will do my best." After Pu Guanshui finished speaking, he saluted Chen Ke.Chen Ke returned the military salute seriously.The two were not hypocritical, and Pu Guanshui strode up to the first batch of comrades who set off, waving his arms.The team started immediately.

At the front of the team was the flag of the Anhui New Army, which was unfurled to deter checkpoints in various places, and Pu Guanshui led the team with his head held high.The troops had just walked a few steps.But there was a sound of singing coming from behind.This was a song they had never heard before, and the soldiers of the second batch of insurance regiments sang a farewell song together.This is also the song Chen Ke taught the insurance group - "Camel Bell".

Send comrades, embark on a journey.Silently, two tears, camel bells ringing in my ears.

The road is long and foggy.Revolutionary life often breaks up, the same parting of two feelings.

Comrades, comrades-in-arms, dear brother, beware of the north wind and cold in the middle of the night, take care all the way.

The tune is melodious and the lyrics are sincere.The officers and soldiers of the Anhui New Army heard this song, although they knew that it was a blessing from the soldiers of the insurance regiment to the comrades in the insurance regiment who set off.But they also hope, or think, that this is a blessing for themselves.The officers and soldiers of the Anhui New Army didn't even notice the word "revolution" in the song.
