Two years ago, Shen Xin became a temporary worker in the Anhui government established by Vézé. Later, he followed Vézé to Guangdong with his mother. On the way there, he was spotted by the Political Department and became a member. When Luo Dagang attacked Wuzhou, as a political commissar of the army, Shen Xin came with him to Wuzhou.
Such an experience was quite impressive even in the Revival Association. It would be a lie to say that Shen Xin didn't feel that she was different from the others. However, Shen Xin had learned from the saints since he was a child. He knew that one had to be humble and cautious. Even if he had to pretend, he had to pretend to be respectful to others.
"Brother Shen, you're still young. We'll have to rely on you later!" Luo Dagang earnestly arranged a role for Shen Xin.
"I understand! I won't let them off easily. I'll make sure that as long as I'm around, they won't have a good ending! "Shen Xin answered seriously.
"Remember, you are an important person here, our army supervisor! If you say you won't let the militia off, we have to listen to you! "Luo Dagang continued to emphasize the key points of acting.
"Hey! Hey! Brother Luo, can you not say such things! That's not how our political organization works! "Shen Xin quickly explained.
Luo Dagang laughed, "Haha, Brother Shen, we know, but those people don't. It was too difficult for them to understand this. So whatever they think, we'll act it out. "
The senior officers in the General Staff Department laughed when they saw Luo Dagang teasing Shen Xin. As for Shen Xin, seeing that he was destined to be ridiculed by everyone, he could only helplessly giggle. However, this smile was not fake. The recent actions of Luo Dagang and this group of high-ranking military officers had impressed Shen Xin from the bottom of his heart.
In Guangdong, Manchu Qing had set up a policy against Vézé's Restored Commandery. Whoever could seize a city from the Restored Commandery would immediately become the city's highest official. In response to such a policy, the Restored Commandery would cast a long line to catch the big fish, allowing those who did not obey the Restored Commandery to jump out themselves. The Political Department believed that if they wanted to intimidate the local government, killing people indiscriminately could be considered as a method, but the efficiency was too low. Based on China's current social situation, the restoration of the Martial Governor's Office to carry out a massacre against the Manchu Qing's enemies. Firstly, it could deter thieves and thieves, so that those who did not have the guts to rebel would not dare to make any more moves. Secondly, the people were worried about killing people for personal grudges. The people of China could accept killing people for official business. When two powers were fighting for the world, the people would not feel vengeful for killing people for official business. Thirdly, it had a more realistic economic goal. After clearing out a portion of the local higher-ups in Guangdong, the Restored Commandery would be able to take over the space that this group of people had given up. This social space that had originally been privately controlled, in addition to the Restored Commandery's seizure of Manchu Qing's official land, naturally became the Restored Commandery's initial capital in Guangdong.
Shen Xin could easily understand the policy, but it did not mean that he had the ability to carry out the policy in this area. Shen Xin discovered another thing. The high-ranking officers in the army perhaps did not understand the language very well and were not very sensitive to it. However, as long as Shen Xin could explain the core concept of the policy in a way that this group of soldiers could understand, these soldiers could immediately come up with a way to carry it out. These methods of carrying it out could even be called ingenious.
First, the intelligence department released a few officials who had attempted to return to Guangdong to incite a rebellion back to Wuzhou. This group of people immediately began to move freely. After a series of jumping up and down contacts, the powers attempting to overthrow Wuzhou's local government surfaced one by one. The alliance between the civilian group, officials, and the official army was reasonable. However, the boat army, which had always been hostile to these three, had also intervened in this matter. This truly surprised Shen Xin.
Luo Dagang and the others were completely unmoved. As more and more enemies gathered, the troops began to withdraw in large numbers from Wuzhou. They created a situation in which Wuzhou was empty. At the same time they created this situation, Luo Dagang and the others planned to continue pressuring the civilian group. Such a careless method frightened Shen Xin. If the civilian group did not rebel, Shen Xin would, of course, feel embarrassed. However, when the civilian group rebelled, Shen Xin only felt even more uneasy.
The sudden incident of a fight between the militia leader Li Shouchang's subordinates and the police was exploited with great efficiency. The high-ranking officers abandoned the previous, rather stiff script and quickly drew up a new one. In this new script, the military officers became fellows with ulterior motives and temporarily endured silently. The young Shen Xin played the role of a young man who did not know when to advance or retreat and was eager for quick success.
After being teased by everyone, Shen Xin sat back in his chair and repeatedly thought about his role in this play. As Shen Xin wrote on a piece of paper, he repeatedly considered it. Luo Dagang patted Shen Xin's shoulder. "Brother Shen, you don't have to act. Just tell them that if they don't lower their heads now, you won't let them go no matter what they say. This has always been an unreasonable matter. If you really come up with a reason, then it doesn't look right! "
"Ah?!" These words made Shen Xin's eyes light up.
Luo Dagang looked at Shen Xin's happy and worried expression. He confidently said, "Everything else has been prepared. When it's time for you to go paint, you can go paint. That's enough! "
At this moment, the guards came to report that Li Shouchang and the heads of the other major civilian groups had arrived. Luo Dagang turned his head to ask the others, "Are you ready?"
"We're ready!" "No problem!" Everyone answered one after another.
Receiving everyone's response, Luo Dagang said to the guards, "Let them in!"
Six hours later, in a secret manor in Li Shouchang's, the heads of the Wuzhou civilian groups gathered together for a secret meeting. The meeting discussed the recent changes in Wuzhou.
In the afternoon, Li Shouchang and the others had been threatened by the Wuzhou Liberation Army government. Luo Dagang and the others used the incident of the civilian group beating up the police as an excuse to demand that the civilian group quickly report for registration. The young boy called Shen Xin looked like a scholar. He used the words unique to scholars to say that they had already informed the civilian group beforehand that they had to register, so now they had to carry out the rules at that time.
Faced with such a radical, Luo Dagang, who originally had ulterior motives, could only turn around and first suppress the internal movements. The two sides immediately began to argue. As they bickered, Li Shouchang understood that this young boy of about 20 was someone sent by the recovered Governor's manor to be the military supervisor. In order to establish a contribution that belonged to him, this young military supervisor advocated using forceful methods against the civilian group.
As the saying went, a man without hair could not do his work well. The young military supervisor was certainly someone with a powerful backer. It was human nature for a young man to try to establish a contribution and seize power from the hands of an older actual commander. Luo Dagang and the other older actual commanders could not do anything to this military supervisor. When this military supervisor yelled that after the large army returned to Wuzhou, he would definitely do something to the civilian group. Luo Dagang and the others could only shut their mouths and not say anything.
In the end, the entire matter did not produce any results. Other than Li Shouchang having to pay a fine, it was left unsettled. Through this matter, Li Shouchang received two important pieces of information. The first was that the Liberation Army would reduce its forces in Wuzhou in the near future. The second was that when the large army returned to Wuzhou, it looked like the young military supervisor would not let the civilian group go, particularly Li Shouchang's civilian group.
At this time, Li Shouchang had no other choice. That made his heart ache more than the fine, and the threat of the future made him feel that he had to make other choices. The other civilian leaders also had dejected expressions. It was Li Shouchang's subordinates who had beaten up the police. It was clear that the other civilian leaders had been tricked into watching a show of killing monkeys to scare chickens. The young 'army supervisor', on the other hand, had left a deep impression on the heads of the other militias. Because he did not have military power in his hands, he kept yelling about who he was going to see when he returned to Guangzhou. When he returned from Guangzhou, he was going to bring as many people and horses as he wanted to do something to the civilian group.
These young masters were the most terrifying. They often did things without regard for the consequences. At the same time that they could not accomplish anything, they also had the ability to mess things up.
At this time, everyone was frowning. No one raised the idea of peaceful coexistence with the Liberation Army. The Liberation Army's government in Wuzhou may have been good to the people, but whether or not the Liberation Army Li Shouchang was good was a different matter. At this time, the civilian leaders could only prioritize their own safety.
"If the Yue bandits have really moved troops from Wuzhou, let's contact our brothers outside the city," Li Shouchang said.
After the civilian leaders heard these words, they couldn't help but sigh. No matter how much they did not want to cooperate with the boat army, they had reached a point where they had no choice but to cooperate.
In the five days after the Liberation Army's military supervisor issued a stern threat to the civilian groups, nearly 3,000 troops of the Liberation Army left Wuzhou in four batches and sailed east. Li Shouchang and the others quickly contacted Zhao Qing's friends and family. Very quickly, they received a shocking piece of news. The Liberation Army had been in a series of major battles with the government in Fujian and had suffered heavy losses. At this time, it was not just Wuzhou. The Liberation Army in Zhaoqing, Jiangmen, and other places had begun to gather in Guangzhou. There were signs of them heading north to fight to the death with the Fujian government.
At this time, the other civilian leaders all shrunk back. They suggested waiting for news of the battle between the Liberation Army and the Fujian government. Li Shouchang raised a completely different point of view. "It would be best if the Liberation Army loses, but what if they win? After they win, there will be heavy casualties. At that time, they will squeeze oil from us even more. Rather than that, it would be better for us to act first. At that time, the Liberation Army will be fighting with the government. Once they find out that we have taken Wuzhou and the Pearl River Gate is wide open, the government will be able to press straight into Guangzhou. At that time, with enemies on both sides, it will be easier for them to lose. "
The civilian leaders were all people who had fought in wars. They could understand this logic. They knew that if they acted, they could only make the Liberation Army completely fail. As long as the Liberation Army lost, then there was no difference whether they acted earlier or later. Just as they were still hesitating, Li Wensheng, the general of the government outside the city, urged them to act again. He also threatened that if they did not know what to do, Li Wensheng would leave.
The civilian group also knew that it was not enough to rely on their small number of troops. Once Li Wensheng left, the boat army could not be counted on. Even if the civilian group wanted to rebel, they could not succeed against the nearly 2,000 or so Liberation Army in the city. At this time, the civilian group had no choice but to make a decision. On October 9th, they would start a rebellion!
