Chapter 1001 I always feel that something is wrong
On that night, the Zhejiang Revolutionary Military Government was established at the Zhejiang Provisional Governor's Yamen.
Why is it a temporary governor's office?
Because the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen and the Buzheng Yamen were originally located in Mancheng, but later there were rumors that the governor was going to attack the bannermen, so Wang Danwang was worried that something unexpected would happen in Mancheng, so he temporarily moved the Governor's Yamen to Wulin three months ago.
At the current location outside the gate, the Bu Zheng Yamen was moved to Wangjiang Gate.
Inspector Bai may not be a good official, but he is definitely a revolutionary man full of fighting spirit and a first-rate hero of the Restoration Society!
His death completely cut off Zhejiang's civil and military retreat and fired the first shot at the recovery of Hangzhou.
We've all lost our minds. If there's anything else to study, let's get the team together and start working on it.
With the unanimous recommendation of Zhejiang's civil and military officials, Wang Danwang took up the post of governor of the Zhejiang Military Government.
Qingfantai took up the post of governor of the Zhejiang Revolutionary Army.
Although Qingfantai did not know how to lead troops in war and was an authentic Manchu bannerman, all his colleagues who recommended him did not trust him.
The military government was proposed by Mr. Weng Tongwen, a member of the Zhejiang Academic Affairs Committee.
It was not Mr. Weng's idea, but the ideas about the construction of the government after the revolution in the "Regulations of the Liberation Society" that he carried with him.
The Restoration Society believed that the governor-general, governor, and chief minister were all feudal bureaucracies, which were extremely unscientific. Therefore, after the revolution was successful, the governor-general, governor, and chief minister should be replaced by the provincial governor, and the admiral and commander-in-chief should be replaced by the governor-general.
In the government system, there are no longer administrative departments such as the Administrative Bureau and the Food and Salt Bureau. Instead, the Food Department, the Transportation Department, and the Police Department have replaced the functions of the former Chief Executive and the two ambassadors and yamen.
As for whether to recognize the reform regime in the north after the revolution is successful, it remains to be discussed.
Because the program of the Restoration Association was to firmly not allow the Manchus to lead the country anymore, that is, they would never recognize Emperor Aisin Gioro.
"That's not right. After our revolution is successful, we will oppose the reform and start a war with the north?"
Qing Guozhang, who was elected to the post of military governor, keenly realized that something was wrong. He wanted to follow the Guangfuhui's approach. Wasn't it his father-in-law who took the lead in making his son-in-law, Aisin Gioro, the emperor, rebel?
How can this be done!
The Zhangjia clan is all in the capital.
In confusion, he couldn't help but quietly asked Weng Xuetai: "Master Weng, is there something wrong?"
"There is a problem."
Weng Laoxuetai did not hide his feelings, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while. Anyway, this was the order and chapter he received.
Li Taichao, the grain director of the third period of the Mutual Aid Association, waved his hands slightly and said in a low voice: "We have not been able to capture Mancheng now. There is no point in discussing the future. I think it is better to put aside the debate first and deal with Mancheng together. Wait for Mancheng
Let’s brainstorm again after liberation.”
This is a mature and prudent opinion.
Both the Gongjinhui and the Tiandihui think so.
Wang Danwang also meant this.
After taking office, he immediately gave a simple memorial speech to the Inspector Bai Weixin who died heroically for his country, and renamed Hangzhou Wulin Gate as Weixin Gate to commemorate this revolutionary hero who died before he left the army.
At this time, Wan Hui, the deputy general of Zhejiang Green Camp, had already led his men to attack Mancheng.
The inauguration ceremony of the military government held by the temporary governor's Yamen was just held by the adults to pass the time while they were idle.
Of course, the new Governor Wang also made effective arrangements.
First of all, he ordered that after the city was conquered, women and children, as well as bannermen who did not resist, were not to be killed.
This was, of course, what Qing Guozhang had repeatedly requested.
Secondly, after the Green Camp troops were ordered to conquer Mancheng, the city's general yamen, tongtong yamen, co-leaders and eight banners' treasury, except for grain and ordnance, the rest of the property could be distributed among the officers and soldiers.
This item was proposed by Ma Wanjiu of Zhejiang Salt Road, who was born in the Gongjin Association.
It is used to encourage officers and soldiers to attack the city bravely, and is quite effective.
Finally, in the name of the new governor, he sent people to mobilize the gentry and wealthy people in the outer city. They sent people and money. They were not allowed to watch anyway, even if they were delivering water or food to the siege officers and soldiers.
"Tell them, whoever dares not to support the military government will have all debt relationships with them that my father-in-law previously had with them canceled on the spot!"
Mr. Wang made a loud statement.
If you want money, you have to work hard. If you don't work hard, there will be trouble.
What does the money owed by the former governor have to do with me, the current provincial father-in-law?
So how many troops does the military government have?
First of all, there are two battalions of pacesetters regulated by the former governor of Zhejiang, each battalion has 1,450 people, and the two battalions together with officers total 3,120 people.
There are also three battalions of the Zhejiang Admiral's Model Soldiers, each with 800 men, totaling 2,620 officers and soldiers.
Since the post of Zhejiang Admiral has been vacant since the 19th year of Qianlong's reign, these three battalions of admiral pacesetters are also under the direct command of the governor.
The nearly 6,000 officers and soldiers of these five battalions are the main force of the Green Battalion in Hangzhou City and the most elite force of the Zhejiang Green Battalion.
In addition, there are more than 2,400 garrison troops in Hangzhou city, and more than 1,900 green battalion troops were transferred from Jiaxing and Huzhou.
In other words, the Zhejiang military government that was urgently established now has a total number of troops that can be mobilized in the provincial capital of about just over 10,000.
Correspondingly, the number of Eight Banners soldiers stationed throughout the city was over 10,000.
Both sides are evenly matched.
Weapons and equipment are pretty much the same.
Therefore, despite rumors flying all over the sky, neither the governor of Zhejiang, Wang Danwang, nor the general of Hangzhou, Cheng De, dared to take decisive measures to strike first.
They are all afraid of not being able to kill each other.
It's okay now, even if I don't do it, I will do it.
As the military government issued orders one after another, the green battalion troops stationed in the outer city of Hangzhou quickly gathered and launched a surging attack on every gate in the city with slogans of revenge for Bai Jitai.
There are five gates in Mancheng, Hangzhou, namely Pinghai Gate where Manchuria Zhengbai Banner is stationed, Chengqianmen Gate where Manchuria Zhenghuang Banner is stationed, Trillium Gate where Manchuria Zhenglan Banner is stationed, Gongchen Gate where Manchuria Zhenghong Banner is stationed, and Manchuria White Banner is stationed on it.
Welcome to the Purple Gate.
The explosion from the temporary governor's office outside Wulin Gate indeed alarmed the Eight Banners soldiers all over the city. After the green battalion soldiers outside the city launched an attack on the city, Zhenghuang Banner Defense Ete who was stationed at Chengqian Gate actually said to the left and right with disdain:
"The Han army is a mob, and our army can win in less than an hour!"
After that, he rode a white horse and led more than 400 flag soldiers to open the door. He tried to break up the green soldiers gathered outside the door, but was knocked to the ground by a battalion soldier, and all the flag soldiers were chopped to death.
Ete's death caused a lot of pain in the city. Zhejiang deputy general Wan Hui took the opportunity and led his troops to rush into Chengqianmen. Suddenly, the whole city was in chaos. The sound of killing was heard from Chengqianmen to the main campus, the artillery field, and the inspection station.
, Arrow Hall, South Granary, and Eight Banners Guild Hall, it has been spread to the banners association and consulate offices, all unified offices, and all the way to the Jiangjun Yamen in Hangzhou.
The revolutionary troops who invaded the city set fire to the city and killed all the soldiers wearing armor and armed with flags.
The flag soldiers stationed in various places in the city encountered a sudden change, and it was dark night. It was unknown how many Han soldiers entered the city. In addition, there was panic everywhere, and the result could be imagined.
Many flag soldiers who were originally on duty were so frightened after the Han army entered the city that they threw away their weapons and fled home, holding their wives, children and children in their arms and shivering. They had no trace of the majesty of the Eight Banners warriors.
Song Chunlin, the admiral's model guerrilla soldier, personally led the troops to attack the general's Yamen. The original guards inside the Yamen and hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers who had retreated gathered to resist, making it impossible for the Song troops to attack for a long time.
When he was anxious, a young sentry officer from Fenghua volunteered to organize a death squad of more than 80 people. They climbed over the wall against the sharp arrows of the flag soldiers inside the wall, and the young sentry officer was the first to hold the sword.
Killing several Eight Banners soldiers, they were so frightened that the banner soldiers no longer dared to resist and abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
The sentry officer ignored the surrender and led a death squad into the backyard of the Yamen, capturing Hangzhou General Cheng De and his family alive.
At this point, the whole city of Hangzhou declared its recovery.
