In early 1909 AD, the Anqing Revolutionary Army fought fiercely with the Qing army outside the city for a day and night, and was finally defeated under the fierce artillery attack of the navy's gunboats...

Wang Shizhen then entered Anqing. Then, he wiped out the remaining enemies for a while, and then, under the order of Anhui Governor Zhu Jiabao, he led the army to follow the revolutionary army and suppress it.

The revolutionary army under Xiong Chengji was attacked by artillery fire from the navy battalion, and then retreated northward under the relentless pursuit of the Qing army. When the Xinguangfu Association suddenly sent troops to rescue the Qing army's pursuers and escaped from danger and looked back, he couldn't help but feel like a knife. With the scattered new army gathered, his military strength was less than 5,000 people, and most of the main force was lost, and his morale was even lower than the bottom. Thinking about the majestic scene of the revolutionary army's strength at its peak when it occupied Anqing, the powerful scene of the revolutionary army's peak at its peak, he couldn't help but feel sad and heartbroken, and his persistence was also shaken.

If the new Restoration Association has a long-standing thousand-man army, the current military strength of the Revolutionary Army is not too poor, at least much stronger than when attacking Anqing City. With the addition and protection of the new Restoration Association, the morale of the Revolutionary Army soldiers has recovered slightly. Taking stock of the trump cards at hand, there are also 5,000 fast guns, two earth cannons, and sufficient ammunition, so the firepower is still very objective!

He pulled Fan Chuanjia and discussed a marching route with Wang Shandong, an officer in the new Restoration Army. Xiong Chengji temporarily formulated a northward combat plan and wanted to join forces with the new Restoration Association in Huoshan, northern Anhui and other revolutionary forces to capture the central part of Anhui and to rush to Hefei, the temporary provincial capital. I believe that Zhu Jiabao, who had just returned to Anqing, would not have thought that the Revolutionary Army would make a comeback!

When Zhu Jiabao learned that the defeated revolutionary army was rescued by a sudden appearance, he couldn't help but be furious when he was shocked. He immediately dispatched a large army to join the pursuit of the Qing army, and was commanded by Wang Shizhen, so that the remnants of the revolutionary army must be completely wiped out!

But at this moment, smoke from all over the province suddenly appeared in the province, and bandits with very fierce combat power. They raided various counties and killed the notorious corrupt officials from all over the country, causing panic to ask for help from the provincial government. Zhu Jiabao had no choice but to draw a large number of troops from the pursuit of the Qing army and go to the county and towns where bandits were in chaos.

Wang Shizhen, who was responsible for clearing the remaining part of the Revolutionary Bureau on the front line, was caught off guard by a sudden change. Although he knew that this might be the revolutionary party's plan to "surround Wei and save Zhao", he sent a newspaper to tell the governor about the doubts. Zhu Jiabao also knew that there were problems, but he also had his own difficulties. As the governor of Anhui, he had the responsibility to protect the country and the people, and it was impossible to take the risk of "popular opinion" and stare at the revolutionary army. In the end, he insisted on his opinion.

At the same time, the revolutionary party's actions also reminded them that in Anhui, there are not only revolutionary members of Xiong Chengji Revolutionary Army, but also extremely revolutionary armed forces. They hurriedly strengthened An Qingzhou's defense. Although they didn't know why this group of people appeared at this time, they also reminded them to be careful that the revolutionary party would kill him and shoot him back!

The Revolutionary Army did not give the Qing army time to adjust. They participated in the encirclement of Tongcheng and Shucheng, and fought countless battles along the way. The combat effectiveness and fighting will they show are amazing. Wang Shizhen's troops, who were following behind, had to speed up their pursuit, hoping that the Shangqing army, which was blocking the road ahead, could block the revolutionary army's progress.

But what surprised and worried them was that there was no Qing army that could stop the progress of the remaining troops of the Revolutionary Army. With the strong cooperation of the local revolutionary party, there was a fierce momentum that swept across thousands of troops and made the surrounding Qing army frightened. If there weren't a large number of elite Qing army troops coming in time, these areas might have fallen into the enemy again!

The Qing army did not find anything. After they learned about Xiong Chengji's plan to go north through the mouths of the new army soldiers who were single in the Revolutionary Army, Zhu Jiabao was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood. His uncle, this governor had just moved the yamen back to Anqing, and when the Qing army in Hefei was pulled out, you guys actually rushed to Hefei again, and would you let people live?

There is no way, Hefei is an important town in Anhui and cannot be lost. However, the Qing army at hand has been used to the limit, and it is difficult to draw a sufficient armed force to rescue in a short period of time. In the face of face and official positions, he chose the latter and hurriedly sent a telephone to ask the court to send Henan Qing troops south to quell the rebellion.

The court's reaction this time was very fast, and it was rare to be efficient. Jiang Gui's unit of the Wuyi Army stationed in Henan was ordered to slash at Xiong Chengji's troops. Here I have to talk about Zhu Jiabao's scrupulousness, and did not disclose any of the combat effectiveness of Xiong Chengji in the emergency telegram.

Zhu Jiabao was not given for nothing. Before the remaining troops of the Revolutionary Army arrived, he wanted to extinguish the revolutionary fire in northern Anhui in one fell swoop, so as not to give them the opportunity to merge with the remaining troops of the Revolutionary Army to grow, forming another revolutionary torrent in Anhui.

He urgently sent the heads of the yamen in northern Anhui and ordered them to take action immediately, organize a mixed clearing team of patrol battalions and militia groups to conduct a large-scale mobilization of northern Anhui with the full cooperation of local garrisons. He must clear the revolutionary party in northern Anhui before the remaining troops of the Revolutionary Army arrive, so as not to let them have the opportunity to merge and grow!

In the heart of the governor, he would rather let the remnants of the Revolutionary Army live a way out and let them go to other provinces to harm the disasters, than have the slightest chance to gain a foothold in Anhui! What a joke, since he came to Anhui to take office, he has been entangled with the Revolutionary Party for almost half a year, living in anxiety and anxiety all the time, and has long been tired of this annoying feeling!

Under the pressure of the governor, which official in Anhui Province dared not do his best? Northern Anhui suddenly felt bloody and a large number of revolutionaries such as Zhang Jinfu, Tian Jiyang, Li Chaodong, Zhang Wuxing, Zhang Zhigong, Hu Wenbin, Zhou Zhengfeng, etc. were all killed one after another. The revolutionary party forces in northern Anhui were severely hit for a while, and the plan to join forces with the revolutionary army to do something big was over. When Xiong Chengji got the news, they couldn't help but curse the butcher of the Zhu family, leaving and speed up the attack. In order not to affect the speed of the march, he even let go of the plan to supplement the revolutionary army's loss of soldiers along the way, and rushed to Hefei like autumn wind swept the fallen leaves.
