Only a wealthy man like Fang Jianxiong could afford such luxurious equipment. This was not a war, it was a waste of money.

The fierce bandits in Chaohu were defeated. Zhu Jiabao was very happy and ordered Fang and Ji to continue the pursuit.

I don’t know what happened, but this group of bandits suddenly disappeared within the borders of He County. It seemed that they were dispersed and could not become a big phenomenon. It seemed that the result was happy to everyone.

"Hundan! I asked you to be bandits, but I didn't ask you to rob homes. You actually robbed Silver Nose Town. You guys are really capable. Tell me, who came up with the idea?"

Fang Heizhai was lecturing. Standing in front of him was Li Xiao, the bandit leader who was selected by the Wuwei patrol camp.

3. Since the spring, floods have occurred frequently in northern Anhui, and refugees are everywhere. With a dozen brothers and a dozen guns, this guy started out as the king of Ji Feiyan Mountain and prepared to develop slowly. Who would have thought that the refugees would be too

There were more than a thousand people gathered in half a month. They were all young and middle-aged people who were particularly good at eating. How could the Wuwei Patrol Camp support so many bandits? Why not support them with two hundred guns?

Go grab it.

At first, I just robbed some local tyrants and evil gentry at the foot of the mountain to train the team. Who would have thought that after robbing a few times, I would become famous, and the good guys who couldn't survive would come to vote for me. I don't know who this guy learned it from, and he would draw a plum blossom every time he robbed it.

On the wall, I got the bandit nickname "Iljimae".

After a month, I had gathered 2,000 people under my command. After a simple training, I felt a little comfortable.

The problem of rations came again, so we had to rob again. The more we robbed, the bigger the scale became. In the end, we directly robbed Yinping Town, and also wiped out a patrol camp.

"How many men and guns do you have now?" Fang Jianxiong waited for him to finish and then made a casual comment.

Li Xiaosan raised three fingers and said with embarrassment: "Three thousand! You must keep your word!" "Sister! Did I ask you to scare the county? How many times have I told you to develop quietly and don't cause trouble?

Human ears and eyes. You are violating military discipline. By the way, you

Have any of his subordinates taken the opportunity to bully good women and kill people for money? I'm warning you, it's best not to do so, or I'll shoot you first." Fang Jianxiong decided to go back on his words, what a joke, and casually recruit 3,000 people for an infantry brigade.

The preparation is barely enough.

Li Xiao...san was speechless after being trained. If it hadn't been for the timely replenishment of a batch of ammunition this time, and if Fang Heizhai had sent a team of engineers to help, 3,000 of them would still want to ambush the patrol camp from Hefei?

It’s a headache. So many people have to eat! It’s a pity to disband. Fang Jianxiong finally thought about it: “You go back and tell your brothers that the officers and soldiers are targeting us and we can’t beat them.

Those who are willing to continue to be bandits with you can stay. Those who are not willing can give each of them a few sour buns and ask them to go to Wuhu to find jobs. In short, I can only give you the number of two battalions. If you can't train well, I will shoot you.

.Also, the Chaohu Patrol Camp needs to be rebuilt. You ask those who want to be soldiers to sign up. You are absolutely not allowed to reveal your true identity.

Well, in the end, these guys were promoted! They were quietly sent away, and some food and grass were left behind. Fang Jianxiong then returned to Chaohu to teach.

Although Fang Jianxiong had to restrain himself, news of banditry continued to spread in Anzheng territory. However, these bandits were still quite honest and would not attack big towns. The local magistrate also had nothing to do with them. As long as the bandits did not attack big towns,

Then just let them go. There are also magistrates who do not believe in evil. For example, the magistrate of Langxi sent a bandit to suppress the bandits. Half of them were killed on the way, and they ran away with their tails between their legs. They did not dare to report to Anqing when they turned around.

After all, banditry is a banditry and cannot cause too big a wave. The Revolutionary Party still has the strength. On April 27 (the 29th day of the third month of the lunar calendar), the bandit leader Huang Xing led 120 people and broke into the Guangdong and Guangxi Governor-General's Office. Unfortunately, his name was Zhang Mingqi.

They ran away. This group of people was also very stupid. They had no concept of the enemy being strong and we being weak. They actually divided their troops to attack the Supervisory Training Office and other places. In the end, Zhang Mingqi, who had regained consciousness, gathered his team and destroyed them. On Huanghuanggang

Seventy-two more heroic souls!

The shock of this uprising was so great that even the governor's office was destroyed. The impact can be imagined. Subsequently, governors from various places wrote letters one after another to increase the number of patrol battalions. Among them, the governor of Liangjiang, Zhang Renjun, requested the addition of ten battalion heads.

On May 8th, the swaying Qing Dynasty dug two more holes for itself.

The first pitfall is the royal cabinet! There are nine members of the royal family in this cabinet. The prime minister is still Yi Kuang, and one of the deputy associate ministers is Xu Shichang. This move has made countless gentry in the world despair.

The second pitfall! On the next day, May 9, the nationalization of the railways was announced! The Mingdu Branch and the Postal and Communications Department "planned carefully and quickly requested orders to handle it!" "If anyone ignores the overall situation, deliberately disrupts road administration and incites resistance,

According to the theory of violation!"

In fact, compared with the later Republic of China's attitude when it took over the Qing government's banner of railway nationalization in 1912, the Qing government's attitude was not bad. After all, the railway branch lines were still commercially operated, and only the trunk lines were state-owned.

The problem is that there are more than a dozen railway associations across the country, all led by local business gentry, with countless net worth invested in them. You don’t want them to continue to run railways?

These two consecutive bad moves aggravated the dissatisfaction of all social strata with the Qing government. The railway nationalization policy also triggered a large-scale boycott movement across the country. Among them, Sichuan was the most brutal!

Objectively speaking, there is indeed a phenomenon of many business gentry using everyone's money to enrich themselves in the railway business! This is also an important reason why the country's commercial railways have not been successful. But having said that, these things are all in the dark, and the railways of the Qing government

Nationalization is done in the open. When you stand in the open, you must have the consciousness to withstand the firepower of the whole country!

The Anhui Railway Association is also very active in resisting the new railway policy. As a major shareholder, the Eurasia Group has also sent people to cooperate. But it is all rallies, petitions and the like.

Fang Jianxiong will not come forward on these matters. He is busy! Busy "suppressing bandits"!

Less than half a year after the Spring Festival, the number of bandits from various places was reported. The cumulative data shocked Fang Jianxiong. There were more than 10,000 qualified "bandits". The 300 or so people sent out actually made such a big noise.

?Li Muyan, who is specifically responsible for the "bandit movement", reported that many people can go up the mountain just by giving them rice porridge!

Anhui is still a grain-producing place and has reached this point. The Qing Dynasty is really going to end!

Fang Jianxiong made urgent adjustments and transferred cadres from the training team and patrol battalion to strengthen the strength of "bandit soldiers" in various places. He repeatedly requested that the current stage focus on training, requiring that "bandit soldiers" in each department must master basic military skills, and also required

Be literate, read three to five words a day, and if you can't do it, you'll be expelled and have to make a living on your own.

Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong always gave priority to recruiting educated people during military training. After entering the patrol camp, he had to attend night classes every day after training to learn literacy! If you can't read three to five hundred words, you can't even think about continuing to earn a meal from the patrol camp.

The talent reserve of more than two years showed its power at this time. Even if more than 300 people were transferred out, Fang Jianxiong could quickly restore the combat effectiveness of the Wuhu Patrol Battalion. While training troops, Fang Jianxiong accelerated the weapon reserve. It took almost three days

A shipload of goods docked in Wuhu, quietly disembarked at night, and were delivered to a warehouse in the mountains.

Until before the Wuchang Uprising, Fang Jianxiong stored 50,000 rifles, 300 improved Maxim machine guns (this thing burns too many bullets, so he couldn’t bear to part with it) and 2,000 Bren machine guns in a secret warehouse in the mountains outside Wuhu County.

Five hundred. Two thousand automatic pistols and three Rheinland submachine guns.

Thousands (Sten). About 200 million rounds of bullets (including self-produced). The Qingdao warehouse also stores enough equipment to equip a 75th mountain artillery brigade and a 105.150 howitzer brigade. It is just waiting to be shipped to Wuhu when the world is in chaos. Talent reserve

They are all ready-made and can be quickly equipped into an army.

The road protection movement finally triggered a great turmoil. "Sichuan will be in chaos before the world is in chaos!" This footnote was written for this road protection movement.

On August 27, Wang Tianjie and Ma Manzi, party members of Rong County, Sichuan, led a market strike, a class strike, and a tax strike. They led the people's army to train more than 10,000 student soldiers, took over the economic and taxation bureau, detained the county officials and bureau committees, and in the name of the head of the regiment, they

Baozhen called on more than a thousand militiamen and hundreds of guns to protect the road, declared an uprising, and marched into Chengdu.

On September 7, the Governor of Sichuan, Zhao Erfeng, trapped 9 people including Pu Dianjun, the Consultative Director of Sichuan. Thousands of people from Chengdu, holding a memorial tablet of Emperor Guangxu, poured into the Governor's Office to petition peacefully, demanding the release of the arrested persons. Zhao Erfeng ordered shooting, and 32 people died.

Historically known as the Chengdu Murder Case. (This matter seems to be somewhat controversial. If you like, you can find the information on your own. The author quoted from the official history, the History of the Republic of China compiled by the Academy of Social Sciences.)

On September 8, Xinjin Uprising and Shuangliu Uprising, the two armies merged and were called the Comrade's Army. They marched into Chengdu and fought with the Qing Army at the Hongpailou. Because most of the Qing Army's leading generals were revolutionaries, the Qing Army could not work hard. Comrade

The army was in full swing.

On September 10, Duanfang led two teams of the Hubei Army's 32nd Biao into Sichuan to suppress the route-defending army.

When the war broke out in Sichuan, the Wuchang Literary Society and the Gongjinhui joined forces and decided to revolt. The biggest crisis of the Qing Dynasty was about to break out.

In Wuhu, Fang Jianxiong still knows a little about history. On October 8, Fang Jianxiong took a guard of a special agent company to Anqing on the pretext of reporting on the results of the bandit suppression. The guard had one submachine gun, one box cannon, and four grenades.

.

On the afternoon of October 9, Fang Jianxiong landed in Anqing and went to the governor's office to report on his work. Zhu Jiabao was not suspicious and received him warmly. Fang Jianxiong also responded normally and stayed in the city that night. On the same day, three fully loaded river ships docked at Wuhu Pier.

On board were one hundred and fifty soldiers who had returned from studying in Qingdao, as well as cannons and shells of three calibers.

On October 10, Fang Jianxiong went to meet his students as before. However, this time the gathering was slightly different from the past. When the group broke up, every student left excitedly.

On the 12th, Fang Jianxiong, who had stayed in the military camp all day without knowing what he was doing, was invited by someone from the governor's office. He met Zhu Jiabao and a group of anxious officials in the lobby. When Zhu Jiabao saw Fang Jianxiong, he said: "Help."

The country is in trouble. The revolutionary party launched an uprising in Wuchang and Wuchang fell!"

Fang Jianxiong looked calm, but he was shouting loudly in his heart: "I finally waited for this day!"

On the night of October 10th, the Wuchang Uprising! sounded the death knell of the Qing government’s rule!
