Chapter 458 The situation in the south

At this time, in the south, it seemed that the spark of revolution began to start to explode, and revolutions were everywhere. The political foundation of the Qing Dynasty had been completely cut off. However, the real grassroots level was in chaos. The revolutionary party did not realize that they were still sparks. Although they were rampant, they did not burn together. The power of the integrated group was just a superficial prosperity. Once the army in the Beiyang was approaching and the glitz dissipated, they would be devastated.%

However, the revolutionary party was still very intoxicated by this glitz. As early as Nanjing fired the first shot of the primordial rebellion, Sun Yat-sen was considering the revolutionary overthrow of the Qing government and the establishment of a democratic republic government. The subsequent revolutionary situation was really in the middle, and the whole south was in chaos, with eight provinces responding together.

Although only some cities were successful, Sun Yat-sen saw hope. With the help of decades of revolution and the influence of the Tongmenghui, Sun Yat-sen raised the banner of the Republic of China, which immediately attracted the pursuit of the people. The governors of various provinces also began to contact and gathered towards Nanjing. A huge revolution began. This was the real revolutionary wave, and various national founding and governance concepts appeared one after another.

The news about Sun Yat-sen was not concealed from the beginning. Nanjing personally directed it and began to connect to a large extent, which attracted the attention of Yang Yuanzhao and Yuan Shikai, especially the latter, who was also a little disdainful of Sun Yat-sen while being vigilant. This is also the fundamental reason why everything goes well. Yuan Shikai needs the revolutionary party to stir up trouble so that he has the possibility of recovery.

A group of revolutionary parties only rely on some new armies. Most of these new armies were defeated. How much combat power can they exert? The strength of the Beiyang Army is much stronger than that of ordinary new armies. After a certain expansion, the Beiyang Army has the ability and confidence to block at least 10 new army attacks with the strength of a town. Whether there are 30 new armies in the entire south is really a problem.

Therefore, even though the revolutionary party was as powerful as a rainbow in the south and seemed to sweep the entire south, it was bright on the surface. Yuan Shikai had always followed the steps, expanded the Beiyang, trained soldiers, built high walls, accumulated grain, and dug deep holes. This was not only known by the fake monk Zhu Yuanzhang.

The reason why Yang Yuanzhao was concerned about Sun Yat-sen was that he lamented history. This time and space, because his butterfly wings were obviously different from his previous life. In history, the first shot of the First Rebellion was directly blown away by Baotou. With such a thick and large rafter as Baotou outside, who cares about the small profits of the rope head in Sichuan. Especially the rubber crisis, under Yang Yuanzhao's robbery and intervention, the impact in China was not as great as that of his previous life. Of course, those speculative railway construction organizers still suffered losses, but they were not in front of the Qing government, and they could still hide it.

Without Sichuan's road protection movement, it would be unnecessary for Hubei's new army to adjust defense, and Wuhan, Hubei, would have no prerequisites for an uprising. The first rebellion was in Baotou, and then Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing returned to China and revolted in Nanjing, not in Wuhan, and the preparations were better than before.

In the textbooks of his previous life, Sun Yat-sen had a good evaluation of it. He was the founder of the Democratic Republic. He was truly in history. Sun Yat-sen could not be called this name. He was basically one of the sources of wars in modern China. Although the establishment of the Republic of China made the spirit of democracy deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Sun Yat-sen did not have a systematic change. He always opposed and opposed the plan to develop China. In short, it was against it. From the national protection movement, to the law protection movement, to the Northern Expedition, from 1912, wars were fought every few years, and they fought until death, to the later successors, and they also fought, beat opponents, beat companions, fight warlords, and fought all the way until more than 20 years later, there was no complete unified country. It was wasted China's best development opportunities and also brought the war-torn China to the most painful history.

Through integration and investment, Baotou's intelligence has penetrated into most corners of China. The movements of the Beiyang Army were not beyond his expectations. What Yuan Shikai would do next, he also knew that the 120,000 army had sharpened his sword, and the Beiyang Army, which had been armed to the teeth, was about to overwhelm. However, the revolutionary party in the south was still fighting for power and profit. For the first time, he had some doubts whether his strategy could be successful.

However, even if Beiyang destroyed the revolutionary party and unified China in addition to the northwest, it would not have much impact on the northwest. On the contrary, it would be better than the constant war and the changing king flag on the city wall. At least, even if the Beiyang army uses its current strength to unify the entire China except the northwest, it would take at least 2 years. Then, it would probably take three years to integrate and gain power.

In three years, it has brought about a barren Baotou to this stage, and has a sufficient foundation and population. Yang Yuanzhao doesn’t know what will happen in three years, but in China, it is absolutely fine to fight against Britain, France and Russia.

It is similar to history. Sun Yat-sen was elected as the leader of the revolution. The banner of revolution was established. The Tongmenghui, which controlled the Jiangsu New Army and some of the new army in the Yangtze River Basin, had a certain foundation of strength. Sun Yat-sen invited members of the National Tongmenghui and democrats to discuss state affairs, establish the Republic of China, realize true democracy, prosperity and strength, and let China stand tall in the world again.

Such propositions and plans are equivalent to digging out the ruling foundation of the Qing court from the foundation, and also marking that the revolutionary party has reached a peak in the operation of the entire China. Of course, it represents a huge struggle for power. Some short-sighted people have regarded this as a supreme opportunity, and have not realized at all that they have not truly unified China, nor have they truly overthrew the Qing government, and the two mountains in the Beiyang and even the northwest are ahead.

When the fish faced the fragrant bait, they would forget the threat of death. This was the case with these revolutionary parties who were fighting for frantically. After quarreling and compromise, the southern provinces began to formulate temporary contracts. That is, a few months later, when the New Year of 1912 came, Sun Yat-sen declared his appointment as the interim president of the Republic of China in accordance with the temporary contract, and by the way, he began the national election and let democracy truly move forward.

The era of historical change has finally arrived. In the past few months, Yuan Shikai's actions were beyond Yang Yuanzhao's expectations, because he had not moved his troops except to expand his army and did not directly fight to the south. The Beiyang Army entered Henan, Shandong, and even Hubei and Anhui. However, after knowing Sun Yat-sen's decision and even the revolutionary party in the south had a tendency to combine, he began to speed up.

The Beiyang Army, which was heavily overthrown, directly calmed down Hunan and Anhui. The uprising was directly destroyed by the old army. The political situation in Hubei and Shandong began to stabilize slowly. The entire China formed a three-way force. The Northwest Army occupied most of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia, and formed a confrontation with the Beiyang Army in Zhangjiakou, and did not cross the front line of Zhangjiakou.

He could not fight but could not defend himself. He casually lost a battalion of troops, saying that it was defense, but it was just a sentinel. He used it to see the movements of the northwest.

The Beiyang Army occupied the Northeast, Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Zhili, and the revolutionary party in the south almost unified the entire south. Except for not occupying Shanghai, all eight provinces declared independence. Now, the focus of the competition is not in the East, but in Sichuan.

Sichuan is a basin, which has always been relatively closed, but it is a large province with a large population and a relatively wealthy one. Both the Beiyang Army and the Revolutionary Party want to compete for this province. Sichuan's local sect is very rich. After killing the Governor, Sichuan also declared independence and did not tend to be in either direction of the Revolutionary Party or the Beiyang Army. Some of the territory was controlled by the Tongmenghui. They were only nominally under the command of Sun Yat-sen, but did not consider Sun Yat-sen. The other half was jointly controlled by Brother Pao, old warlords, merchants, etc. The two forces, one in Chengdu and the other in Chongqing, were seeking to unify the entire Sichuan. In the chaos, they became a chaotic province in China.

The whole of China was in such an inexplicable state, and both sides continued to have strength. The Beiyang side expanded wildly. Not only did they digest the weapons given by Baotou, but they also began to buy them in Baotou. After occupying the Northeast and the North, Yuan Shikai had a lot of money in his hands. This was not the early years of the Republic of China, Tianjin, Zhili, and Hebei, which were greatly affected by Baotou. With the help of the Zhengtai Line, they could be transported quickly. Their light industry development was pretty good. By the way, some goods exported by Baotou through Tianjin Port also paid a lot of taxes to the local area. To a certain extent, these places made Yuan Shikai's hands far more abundant than those in historical facts.

The abundant income and low weapon prices have resulted in double the effect. In just over two months, Yuan Shikai traded with Baotou 5 times, and purchased a total of 100,000 rifles, 60 million bullets, and 300 Maxis. The total amount reached almost 12 million. Except for Guan Yu given by Zhu Erdian, the rest were all plundered by the Beiyang from all over the country. This was enough for the Beiyang army to double its expansion on the original basis, and the arms were already sufficient.

With the expansion of military strength, the first six towns have been thoroughly trained. The soldiers have begun to become familiar with the weapons in their hands, and the officers have basically been in place. After several practical drills, except for the new recruits who have not seen blood, the rest have been basically in place. It is time for the huge war weapons to move. In such a barren place in the north, they have harvested so much money in the past few months. In the south, it has always been a prosperous place. Coupled with the development of various light industries, it is simply a fruit that can be obtained. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
