1o74419o8 Far East Madman Chapter 263 Hunan-Guizhou Incident

After the outbreak of the "Wushen Revolution", Hunan was the second province after Hubei to announce its separation from the Qing Dynasty. China actively cooperated with the Republican army to expedition to Sichuan in the west to make great contributions to the revolutionary cause. Although it is not as good as Hubei, the "source of the revolution", it is also a leader among the southern revolutionary provinces.

But compared with Hubei, Hunan's revolutionary foundation is quite fragile because it is simply a loose alliance of revolutionary soldiers and Zhu Zhong.

Speaking of Hunan, the most talked about is Hunan's extension of power, besides rice and firecrackers.

The rise of Hunan's power in power rose during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom War, which was the sign of Zeng Guofan's appointment as Minister of the Regiment and the establishment of the Hunan Army. Almost since then, the Zhushen Group in Hunan has had the power of life and death. Zeng Guofan created the Judicial Bureau, which was the most convenient tool for killing in the hands of the gentry. The number of farmers in Hunan who died under this knife was countless wandering people and were sent to the front line as cannon fodder to fight with the Taiping Army was also quite considerable. It can be said that Hunan Township Shin made the ruling skill of "using the people to control the people" to the extreme. If it were not for the Qing rulers' methods of "using the ministers to control the ministers" more skillful, I would probably not be the revolutionaries who replaced the Qing Dynasty.

The gentry power in Hunan did not end with the demise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The war state of more than ten years has enabled Zhushen to allocate all local government affairs in Hunan. "Zhushen" is no longer a noun concept. It is a culture and a ruling culture. All affairs here are inseparable from the collection of taxes to the appointment and removal of clerks. From the implementation of the new policy to the mediation of clan disputes, the shadow of the Zhizhong Group can be seen. Even the dignified Hunan governor must use Zhuzhong's power to maintain his authority and authority on the Hunan border officials. The influence of Hunan's border officials is far stronger than other provinces. The reason why Hunan was at the forefront of the reform during the "Reform Movement of 1898" was not unrelated to this.

Although ancient China emphasized the sharing of the emperor and the literati and officials in the world that the literati and officials hoped that the imperial power would last until the county. The villages below the county should be completely handed over to the sect and the people to manage, but this was just an ideal state. During most of the dynasty's rule, the monarchy power always suppressed the sect's power. Only when troubled times came is the time when Zhongquan eroded the monarchy.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Hunan truly achieved "co-governance of the monarch and ministers". The extension of power here means a reduced monarch's power, and the monarch's power is usually regarded as an enlarged magnification. Here, the extension of power here is often the word of the gods can determine the life, death, honor and disgrace of the local people.

Carrying a revolution in such a province undoubtedly requires great courage and high skills. If you are not careful, you will get angry. This is one of the reasons why Zhao Bei did not annex Hunan as soon as possible.

The infinite expansion of Zhongquan will inevitably lead to the infinite shrinking of the rights of small civilians. The reason why Hunan has become the most powerful province in the society is related to this violent tyranny of extending power is the society. However, since Zhuzhong Group has mastered all political and economic resources, cultural resources are basically dreaming if it wants to rely on a group of so-called academy organizations to turn over. Moreover, many visionary students are trying to win over the government for the sake of interests and also dress up themselves as "enlightened" and "supportive" scholars. This trick can confuse some revolutionaries.

After the new policy of the late Qing Dynasty, a large number of Hunan Townships devoted themselves to industry and created a group of emerging forces. These people were "constitutionalists." They extended their power and further encroached on the monarchy. These people hoped to share more power from the royal family. So, on the surface, they were natural allies of the revolution. But in their bones, they opposed violent revolution and they were optimistic about the state system that was constitutional monarchy. To be precise, it was "constitutional monarchy." For them, too violent revolution means their political and economic privileges. This is not what they hope to see.

As a member of the revolutionary era, Hunan is the most stubborn and conservative fortress of this era. If you want to conquer this fortress, you can achieve success by just tens of thousands of guns, just a few cannons.

The Communist Party of China made a short-sighted mistake on this issue, so Hunan was in chaos.

As the southern barrier of Hubei, Hunan has always been a key point for Zhao Bei to pay attention to. Although he did not intend to directly intervene in Hunan affairs in the short term, he has reminded the leadership of the Communist Party of China to pay more than once to pay attention to the movements of Hunan. However, some people took his kindness reminder as a warning in his ears, resulting in a sudden change in the revolutionary situation in Hunan and implicated the coup in Guizhou.

The Guizhou coup was a two-day ago. The Guizhou army stationed in the provincial capital Guiyang mutinied and attacked the military government and the Governor General Jiao Dafeng, who was killed in the Governor General Zhong Yushan, who was missing. The direct troops of the Governor General Zhong Yushan were ambushed and suffered heavy losses. The Guizhou military government has retreated to the Hunan-Guizhou border. The current Guizhou military government has fallen into the hands of the constitutionalists. The military and political officials of the Southern Revolutionary Party in the province were either killed or fled in panic and almost overnight. The eighteen-star red flag symbolizing life disappeared in Guizhou. Instead, it was replaced by a "Zhu Laohui. Government.

The chaos in Hunan was earlier than that in Guizhou. The main force of the Communist Party of China was vacant in Yunnan Province. The day before the Guiyang mutiny, thousands of people from the former Qing army patrol battalion outside Changsha City mutiny. Then they dragged artillery to attack Changsha and the direct troops stationed in the city. Fierce firefights lasted for one day. Although the Communist Party of China had the assistance of the Communist Party, the ammunition was completely destroyed by the traitors because of the gunpowder depot. In the end, they had to give up the division of Changsha and retreated southward and retreated northward to Xiangyin. At the same time, people were sent to seek help from the Fifth Division of the Jianhe Army stationed in Yuezhou, Xiangbei.

The commander of the Fifth Division of the Republican Army was Wu Zhenhan. Although he was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Republican Army, as the commander-in-chief of the visiting army, he had no power to directly mobilize troops to interfere in Hunan Provincial Government and could only send a telegram to the commander-in-chief Zhao Bei to report detailed instructions on handling the Hunan Transformation.

Zhao Bei's call back is very simple: he sticks to Yuezhou and waits for the order.

Wu Zhenhan did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered the Fifth Division to enter the state and build two lines of defense outside Yuezhou City. Two days later, several steamboats rushed from Wuhan with batches of weapons and ammunition, and Cai Liulin's independent artillery brigade also arrived at the hearts of Yuezhou people with ships at the same time.

Certainly.

When Zhao Bei received a telegram from Wu Zhenhan, he was inspecting flood prevention work in eastern Hubei. As soon as he arrived, he immediately decided to return to Wuhan to stay in charge. Although he did not dare to delay the road, the steam engine using small gunboats continued to break down. When he stopped and stopped, it was the third day after the Hunan Revolution.

The battlefield situation changed rapidly. In just three days, the situation in Hunan further deteriorated. The unit that retreated to the ethering was unable to hold its position and faced several times its enemy's "revolutionary coalition" that lacked ammunition, which had to continue to retreat eastward into Jiangxi. It originally planned to retreat to Pingxiang. It got in touch with Yan Xishan and Li Liejun's revolutionary army, but on the way to march, was suddenly ambushed by the elite troops of the Gannan Patrol Battalion controlled by the constitutional faction and was forced to put down their weapons and surrender. Several generals were immediately executed by the Gan army for "bandit".

The troops of the Communist Admiral retreating to Xiangyin were also attacked. Although the enemy's offensive was not fierce, the morale of the army was once shaken. If Cai Liulin's independent artillery brigade had not arrived in time and entered the battle, Xiangyin would have been unable to defend it. Compared with Kuling, Xiangyin had an advantage here, close to Dongting Lake and caught up with the Yangtze River. The water level of the Republican Army was higher during the flood season. The small gunboats of the Republican Army could be directly driven to the shore with fierce artillery fire to support the defenders. This place is not far from Yuezhou. The Hubei military government's rest and rest policy has also affected the people here that the people are less burdened by the lighter revolution and are more enthusiastic about the revolutionary forces and can actively convey messages to the revolutionary armed forces.

When Zhao Bei returned to Wuhan, Pan Kang, deputy commander of the Fifth Division of the Republic of China, had already arrived in Wuhan. He was the liaison officer sent by Wu Zhenhan, responsible for reporting the situation of Hunan's transformation to the commander-in-chief.

In the small conference room of the General Staff, Zhao Bei held an emergency military meeting and did not immediately deploy a military counterattack, but just asked about the situation in Hunan.

"After Changsha fell, the Junxian faction left behind and young people played the role of the so-called "Constitutional Autonomous Association". The so-called "Constitutional Autonomous Association" was issued a telegram saying that the Communist Party was a bandit armed force, not a leader of the revolutionary army, nor was it a Hunanese, and the Junxian faction used this as an excuse to announce the takeover of military and political affairs of the province to elect the Speaker of the Provincial Assembly. Former Qing Hunan Governor Shui Chunmo was the governor of Hunan. The constitutionalist famous man Tan Yange took over the position of Speaker of the Speaker the next day, Yuan Shikai issued a telegram to appoint the former Jiangsu Governor Tang Hualong as the governor of Hunan and submitted a letter to the former Hunan Mining Administration Central Road General Office Huang Zhonghao as the commander of the Hunan Army."

Pan Kangshi took a brief introduction to the political situation in Hunan for several days.

Zhao Bei knocked his finger on the table and asked, "Is this Huang Zhonghao the leader of the small patrol battalion?"

"It's this person. I remember that before Sun Wu returned to Hunan, the commander-in-chief pointed out this person specifically. Huang Zhonghao said that this person opposed the revolution and should be careful of this person. Now it seems that the commander-in-chief is really foresighted. This Changsha mutiny is this person who provoked the patrol battalion involved in the mutiny and was also his old subordinate." Pan Kangshi nodded.

Zhao Bei could only smile bitterly that history has become unrecognizable because of his arrival. Huang Zhonghao died at the hands of the revolutionary army during the Xinhai Revolution. But now, this person is not only not dead, but has been appointed as the Hunan garrison by Yuan Shikai. It is really ironic.

"What's the idea of ​​Tang Hualong becoming the governor of Hunan Yuan Shikai?" Zhao Bei thought.

Tang Hualong was from Hubei and a famous constitutionalist. After the revolution, he was invited by Li Yuanhong to be the deputy speaker of the Hubei House of Assembly. Later, he participated in the peace talks between the north and the south and became the representative of the South. He was immediately appointed by Yuan Shikai as the governor of Jiangsu. He caught up with the Hunan Rebellion before he even sat in the heat.

Pan Kangshi saw that Zhao Bei had not spoken for a long time, so he said, "As soon as Yuan's telegram arrived, the old and young man in Hunan, it was a big fuss. Some people shouted that "Hunan people govern Hunan", but in the end they agreed to let Tang Hualong take office. Now Tang Hualong is taking a boat to Yuezhou and even went to Wuhan to shoot a telegram. I wonder if the commander-in-chief has seen that telegram?"

Zhao Bei said: "When I was not back to Wuhan, Li Huangling reposted the telegram to me. I saw the telegram but it was just a scene. Tang Jiwu was very slick and knew that it was not easy to be the governor of Hunan. He is a scholar, now that Hunan is in a mutiny, but with his strength, he can't suppress it. So I first gave me a telegram to let me support him behind my back."

"Then do we support it or not? In my opinion, this Hunan incident has no effect on us. Anyway, we are not welcomed when the Communist Party of China is in charge of the government.

Tang Hualong is from Hubei after all, and has been the deputy speaker of Hubei and Speaker Li. He is always better than Sun Wu’s gang of young men as the governor of Hunan.”

Although Pan Kangshi's words were a bit extreme, they were also true. At the beginning of the year, the Communist Party of China reported serial telegrams to Wuhan and urged Zhao Bei to withdraw the Fifth Division stationed in Yuezhou as soon as possible to Hubei and even put pressure on Zhao Bei through Yuan Shikai, but Zhao Bei's attitude was always very tough, so he failed.

The Fifth Division was placed in Yuezhou for purpose. Yuezhou was able to defend Dongting Lake and Lake for convenient access. The strategic position was very important. As long as you defend it, it would be equivalent to defending the gateway of northern Hunan. Whether it was protecting Hubei or going south to Hunan, it would become a place that must be fought for by military strategists. When Wu Zhenhan led the first echelon to jointly advance the Communist Party of China to conquer Changsha, Zhao Bei immediately ordered the first echelon to go to Yuezhou for rest and rest. After the first echelon was stationed here, it was later adapted into the fifth place and never moved.

As a time traveler who is familiar with history, Zhao Bei's arrangement is very wise. The Fifth Division finally came in handy.

In fact, the reason why the Hunan Rebellion and Guizhou Rebellion arise is also related to Zhao Bei's acquiescent and indulgence.

If only Commander-in-Chief Ma Shizhan of the Communist Party of China were the leaders of the Communist Party of China, perhaps the Hunan-Guizhou Incident would not have been possible at all.
