Chapter 373 Breaking Fengtian

As the retreat of the Tartars, Fengtian Prefecture has an imperial palace inside and an imperial tomb outside. It is also a pass to Hetuara, which leads to the rise of his ancestors. Its importance is self-evident.∈♀♀

According to general rules, the Qing Dynasty has never forgotten to leave a way out for itself for two hundred years since it entered the pass. Once an irreversible crisis occurs within the pass, they can quickly withdraw from Shanhaiguan with their families and return to the Baishan and Black Water, and perhaps they can make a comeback in a few years.

The idea is very beautiful. In fact, in this world, the Manchus, led by the last emperor Puyi, did establish a pseudo regime outside the pass with the support of Japan, but it was just a puppet after all.

Now, the Qing Dynasty has not yet reached the last swaying situation, so in military construction, it still adopts the approach of taking into account both the capital and the retreat outside the pass. Whether it is Nie Shicheng's Wuyi army's defending Lutai, Song Qing's Yi army's guarding Shanhaiguan in Jinzhou, and Yike Tang's personally stationed in Fengtian Prefecture, the role is like this.

However, the changes in the current situation were not expected by the Qing Dynasty. Their abacus was completely disrupted by Yang Hao's sudden move. As Nie Shicheng's troops were taken down, Song Qing was unable to open the road, and the revolutionary army advanced straight in from land and water. Before the Qing court understood Yang Hao's final purpose, they had already been stationed outside Fengtian City!

The two revolutionary troops joined forces at the city, and the total strength was still less than 30,000. In a heavy artillery unit lined up in an circumference of three quads and one, the rest were scattered in the regiment camp, attacking and destroying important positions around them. In just three days, Iketang's remaining soldiers and thousands of soldiers from the Jilin General's Mansion were trapped in it.

Yang Hao led the headquarters forward to the front of the formation. He and the staff led by Shi Jianfei looked from the high ground at the city covered with flags. From time to time, he could see faces full of horror flashing and retracting from the perspective of the high-power telescope.

"I didn't even dare to show my face openly. The morale of the Qing army was completely defeated. I think, even if we don't use heavy artillery, a charge will probably be able to capture the city."

As the commander of the main attacking force, Zhou Dingxin knew himself and his enemy, and was eager to get the first merit of the attack. He was the first Liaodong army officer to become a regular with Li Jingfang, and was also the backbone force in the first army. He was very ambitious and of course he refused to let go of the great military achievements that captured the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty.

At present, because of its rapid rise, the general ranks in the revolutionary army are not high. There are too many old guys in the navy, which is an exception. In the army, only Li Jingfang and others are carrying the first-class ranks of generals. Shi Jianfei, the young chief of staff, has only the rank of colonels.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were generally arranged in regiments, and hundreds of school officials were working hard to get promoted in the war and become generals who truly mastered a complete combat force.

With the system of the Revolutionary Army, once it is upgraded to the division commander, its command will govern at least 15,000 to 20,000 troops. It is a powerful system with multiple arms integration. With sufficient supplies, such a division is enough to sweep the Qing army across the country. There will never be a single general under its command. Nothing else, the equipment is too strong, the training is too sufficient, and the multiple arms are coordinated. In addition to the northwest desert and the southeast jungle, most of the domestic plains, mountains, hills and even the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River have ways to deal with it.

Zhou Dingxin took one step ahead of everyone else, and had the most sufficient combat experience and military command experience. He had high technical and tactical skills and age, and was the most promising officer in the first echelon. In this way, it is no wonder that he was so excited and eager to fight.

According to his intention, there is no need to play around with three quarts and one. With the 122mm howitzer or 85mm cannon carried with the army, you can easily destroy the city wall in front of you, open the siege passage at will, and drive in. With the sluggish morale and poor equipment of the Qing army, you can't stop the attack of the army at all, and you can drive down the important town outside the pass!

Of course, the consequences of this approach are also obvious. In order to speed up the attack, heavy weapons will inevitably be used in large quantities, and the entire city will be turned into ruins.

Yang Hao knew the thoughts of these officers and vetoed them firmly: "No, what we want is a perfect city, not a ruin. Every grass, wood, brick and stone here is built by the working people for countless hard work and should not be easily destroyed. Don't forget that our ultimate goal is to unite all nations that recognize Chinese civilization as a whole, and don't simply regard them as enemies."

Zhou Dingxin's general argument on this major premise could only lick his lips unwillingly. He also knew in his heart that it was with this major premise that the revolutionary army's propositions could easily gain national recognition and serve as the main weapon to fight against the armed intervention of Western powers and their ideological aggression.

But in the implementation of specific actions, he still had the rude and direct idea of ​​traditional warriors. As long as he wins the final victory, what can he do to break some jars and jars? According to some young radicals, only by breaking down all old bad things can he build a new and better era on a piece of white paper. The blood debts owed by the Qing Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and the people's fat and ointment that plundered on hundreds of millions of people must also be repaid with blood!

Yang Hao had similar thoughts before, and had longed for an era like him to be like this, he would inevitably break the old system and have a complete revolution.

But after these two years of experience, he understood what it means to adapt to local conditions. The revolutionary practice in this world was completed after experiencing the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, the farce of the Republic of China, the warlords' melee, the war of resistance against Japan, the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, etc., which completely exhausted the huge ancient China and turned it into a mess.

But what he faced was a Sunset Empire that had already stood on the edge of a cliff of collapse but could still be rescued. It had a complete regime and a stable ruling foundation. At the same time, it was also facing three thousand major changes that had not been seen. All classes were generally at a loss and did not know how to deal with it.

In this way, as a revolutionary mentor and pioneer of thought, he emerged from nowhere, easily grasped the power to guide public opinion, and then launched a revolutionary war, which was reduced by more than a thousand times!

It can be said that as long as he wants to change the Qing Dynasty, it is too simple. As long as the troops in Tianjin and Hebei are opened to the capital, they can be taken down in less than three or five days. At that time, the new dynasty will be established and peace with the governors and giants from all sides will be settled, and they will be honored. In that way, an orthodox Han Emperor Yang will be born.

But then, what is the difference between the results obtained and the world's Xinhai Revolution? The country is still divided, and if nothing unexpected happens, warlord melee will inevitably break out, and the great powers will take advantage of the situation. I don't know how much effort it will take to pack it up.

What about Yang Hao himself? He probably would be like Jiang Guangtou later. As the nominal commander of a country, he could only shout a small piece of ground. All his energy was involved in quelling the civil war and missing a great opportunity for the rise of the entire country and nation.

He clearly realized that once the indulgent troops launched bloody revenge on the Qing Dynasty, and once they lost control of the military behavior, the entire revolutionary cause would go to an irreversible and bad situation. The best result was to gain a mess that seemed to obey his orders, and even worse, it might be because of the military's military force, which eventually dissipated the spirit of the entire nation.

When sandwiched between two planes, you must test every step with trembling temptation. You cannot take that kind of risk.

The Revolutionary Army emphasizes the idea first. Ideological guidance is implemented in all aspects. This is the valuable experience that our party in this world has finally obtained after decades of bloody and difficult journeys, and after decades of ups and downs after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Of course, Yang Hao has to use it for ready-made use and spare no effort to spread it to everyone and every group.

As the backbone officer, Zhou Dingxin has never stopped learning for two years. He has acted subtly and has practiced it. His ideological level is several orders of magnitude higher than the original Qing military camp officer. Even so, if he is not careful, he may still go on a wrong path.

It can be seen that the difficulty of ideological revolution is better than military struggle. Endless meetings and preaching is also a last resort. The chaos after the unification of the regime in this world is vivid in my mind.

Zhou Dingxin beat Yang Hao so gently, and had to suppress the bloodthirsty and hostility in his heart. He hummed a little unwillingly: "I'm afraid that those bastards are ignorant of being polite. Iketang A is Cixi's godson and is loyal to the Qing court. Can he surrender?"

Yang Hao smiled slightly: "Try it, it won't cost much more."

Things were settled so that Zhou Dingxin had to continue to prepare for the offensive. At the same time, the documents of persuasion issued by Yang Hao were also spread to Fengtian City through hot air balloons. Hundreds of thousands of pieces were scattered, like heavy snow falling. The scene was spectacular!

The Qing army, who had been prepared for this, tried hard to confiscate it at first to prevent it from being obtained by civilians, but unexpectedly, the large amount of scattered from the sky did not change! In their opinion, the extremely expensive snow-white paper was really spread out like a lot of money, and the amount almost spread the ground of the entire city.

There were countless leaflets falling in the yard of the General's Mansion and the treetops of the roof. The housekeeper who led people to clean and cleaned them soon gathered several large trucks, but in a blink of an eye, the clean ground was covered with new ones again. This situation was like the woods in late autumn. No matter how diligent you cleaned, there were still more fallen leaves firmly filled behind.

Seeing his subordinates coming to report with a sad face, Ikton could only wave his hand powerlessly: "Forget it, as long as it is not a shell to drop, let them do whatever they want."

Turning back, he sighed with the sickly general Changshun of Jilin, shook his head and said, "This move is really a big deal. It seems that it is too difficult to defend Fengtian."

Changshun was so sick that he was almost unable to move, and it was his limit to being able to lead troops to come. It was full of grass and birds flying outside. He was wrapped in thick fur but still had a cold body. A strange blush appeared like a ghost fire on his cheeks.

He picked up a leaflet in his hand and asked weakly: "Yang Ni can really protect our ancestral tombs from damage and not treat us all as he said?"

There is more than one leaflet, but a series of contents are passed on in batches. Among them, Yang Hao’s main disposal of the Qing Dynasty’s ancestral land. The two imperial tombs will still be protected and will not be destroyed or excavated, but they must be open to the public as cultural relics protection units. If you are curious, you can visit it by buying a ticket.

Manchus in and outside the city will of course be tried publicly if they are guilty, but they will never kill innocent people in vain. As long as they are willing to receive transformation education, they also exist as part of the big family of the Chinese nation and have equal rights and obligations.

In fact, today, the gap between Manchus and Han people and even other ethnic groups has long been shaved. Take Qingzhou Mancheng as an example. Most of the Manchus in it are already engaged in various businesses that they originally looked down upon and strictly prohibited. They are shaved, pedicures, pull carts, and performers. All kinds of lower classes are all. The poor are not enough to eat, and the hard-core crops are unreliable. What kind of noble people is just a simple saying.

Nowadays, outside the pass, there are many northern Han people who are rushing to survive in Guandong, and most of them are Shandong people. They have conflicts and cooperation with the local Manchus. Generally speaking, everyone is busy making a living. The bannerman and the master of the bannerman have long transformed into traditional class contradictions between landlords and tenants, the rich and the poor, and the officials and the civilians.

It was also because of seeing this reality that the Qing officials became more helpless. Yang Hao's flyer appeal was so powerful, especially when he was still doing a model display in Northern Zhili for a long time. For the people of Liaodong, who are not far away, there are countless "seeing is true". Yang Hao's reputation is there, and now there are even more cannons and heavy troops on his forehead, so everyone can't help but feel unconscious.

Iketang A was furious and slapped the table and cursed: "The person surnamed Yang is too bullying! Is this place that can be disturbed at will? If these thousands of slaves and untouchables are allowed to enter and exit at will, wouldn't it ruin the fortune of the dragon vein? What's the difference between digging it out directly? Humph, this guy actually said that in the future, he would demolish the walls of the Forbidden City and open the palace hall for civilians to visit. It's ridiculous!"

Not only him, but most people were stunned and confused when they saw Yang Hao’s public national policy articles in the newspaper.

You should know that although the emperors who finally enjoyed the throne in China's thousands of years of history have repeatedly acted in enjoying the people, they are just summoning some civilians to the palace city and posing as a friendly attitude to spread a little "thunder and rain". The noble position of the royal family cannot even be interfered with. In order to compete for imperial power, there are endless bloody battles in all dynasties.

Yang Hao means that the imperial rule has completely cut off its roots and let the common people buy tickets to travel around the palace. Can this still leave a little mysterious honor for the imperial rule?

The shot was so shocking that it was hard to believe. Besides, Yang Hao did not capture the capital, so whether he would fulfill his promises could only wait and see.

But unexpectedly, in the short time after the statement was issued, Yang Hao actually ignored the great powers' revenge army and stormed the troops outside the Northeast. What is going to cause trouble!

When I saw the flyer today, Iketang suddenly understood that it was not a good thing. Yang Hao planned to use the jars and jars from the Qing Dynasty's ancestral land to make a ready-made model for his policy!

In Fengtian Mansion, there is an imperial palace and an imperial tomb. Not far away, there is the first city, Hetuara. Between the white mountains and black waters, there are also a large number of Manchu civilians, which is enough to showcase various national policies.

This method of using cannons and flyers to work together is probably the first shot in the country in the future!

Changshun was as qualified as an old man, and he was also an important official who was relied on by the Qing court, but he could not withstand it, so he was just trying hard to support it, but in fact he couldn't help much.

He let go of his fingers and let the flyer fall, staring at Iketanga and asked, "So, how do you deal with it? Do you really need to fight the soldiers of the city and fight with the Yang rebel army? "

Iketang didn't say anything with a stern face. From his heart, he wanted to do that. As the firm force of the Qing Empire, as the godson of Empress Dowager Cixi and as the General Fengtian, he was responsible for defending his territory and had to withstand it even if he was torn to pieces.

But the problem is that the military power he has now, compared with Yang Hao's revolutionary army, is basically in the sky and the earth. The new arms that Cixi personally interfered in the transfer were all droppings of a drop in the bucket. More than a dozen advanced spring-based 75-field cannons were placed in the city, but there were basically no qualified artillery and commanders. I still have courage. If I fight? Let's take a shower and go to bed!

Looking outside the city, the 122mm cannon and 85mm cannon are eyeing each other. Because the previous drill outside the city of Jinzhou was long been spread by the intelligence personnel of the Revolutionary Army. After the words of the storyteller and the citizens, it became a terrifying weapon of "destroyed dozens of miles in one shot"! Once the war begins, the people in the city will be bombarded with a cannon, and all the houses in the whole city will be turned into ashes. If they die, they will be incomplete and cannot be reincarnated!

The ignorant people believe in similar rumors the most. Today, the huge hot air balloon stopped above their heads, and countless flyers were sprinkled, which further confirmed the legendary rumor that "Yang Hao had magical means". In the era when people's wisdom was not yet opened, it was simply unimaginable that people could fly in the sky, and it was even more awesome!

An old guy like Iketanga was full of heart, and he also knew that Yang Hao had the ability to land the elite soldiers in the air and headed straight for his heart.

In this case, it is a luxury to defend Fengtian and block the revolutionary army!

Faced with Changshun's inquiry, Iketang was silent for a long time, and finally said in a muffled voice: "I would rather die than betray the court and surrender to the traitor."

Changshun felt clear in his heart, sighed helplessly, stood up tremblingly, and slowly left the General's Mansion with the support of his followers. Large areas of snow-white flyers fell down one after another, depicting a river of decadence and powerlessness for his bleak figure.

In the evening, Yiketanga dressed neatly, bowed three times and nine times towards the direction of the capital, and then sat upright on the lobby of the General's Mansion, drank poisonous wine, and died.

Not long after, a white flag was raised at the top of Fengtian City, and the defenders opened the city gate.

Yang Hao saw it from afar and smiled slightly. The first step of the Long March is considered to be down-to-earth. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
