Chapter 272 The storm is coming

Baoding is located in the central part of Hebei Province, with the majestic and majestic Taihang Mountains towering into the clouds and the endless openness and openness of the North China Plain.

Baoding has a total area of ​​about 220,000 square kilometers, making it the most populous area in Hebei Province.

In the Qing Dynasty, Baoding Prefecture was the capital of Zhili Province and the location of Zhili Governor General Office, and occupied an important position in the country.

As a major area to protect the capital, Baoding Prefecture, Beijing City and Tianjin City were the three famous cities in China at that time.

Since the first half of the year 7, the People's Liberation Army Intelligence Department has continuously sent people to infiltrate Beijing City and around Beijing City. Among them, Baoding Prefecture is the focus of infiltration.

Originally, Qin Zhongyu, Li Fengrui and others, who returned to the Southern Exhibition in China, decided to send their capable officers Li Guangxin and Xu Fang to bring huge sums of money to Yixian, Laishui County and other places in Baoding Prefecture to buy officials in order to have a legal place to settle down in the north.

However, after discussion, the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army believed that although the Qing Dynasty was extremely corrupt, it only recognized money but not people.

However, Baoding Prefecture is an important place to protect the capital. Southerners like Li Guangxin and Xu Fang who have huge sums of money and unknown origins openly bribing officials will always arouse suspicion and investigation by some people who are interested.

Therefore, the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army decided to slow down the exhibition and let the intelligence department personnel open workshops and rice shops in the local area to take root first.

Immediately afterwards, we searched for some anti-Qing heroes who had not been exposed in the local area, and selected the most loyal and reliable people to teach and cultivate them.

Then, he spent a huge sum of money to buy a large amount of land and property for these anti-Qing heroes, creating the illusion that these local anti-Qing heroes had made great money and supported these locals to take office.

By acting cautiously, the People's Liberation Army Intelligence Department took nearly half a year to use various shameful means to finally support Bai Yunzhi, an anti-Qing righteous man in Baoding Prefecture, and became the magistrate of Yi County in September 7th.

In addition, the People's Liberation Army also used the cover of local anti-Qing righteous men in several townships around Beijing City to safeguard BSP. Under the planning of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, Li Guangxin and Xu Fang led hundreds of elite PLA soldiers to arrive in Yi County in September.

By November 7, Li Guangxin and Xu Fang gradually controlled the areas around Yi County and Yi County by assassinating corrupt officials, cracking down on landlords and bullies, and appeaseing the people.

At the same time, according to the instructions of the General Staff, Li Guangxin and Xu Fang secretly recruited more than 3,000 poor people who had no food and clothing. They entered the mountainous and forest areas west of Yi County to grab territory while organizing local people to plant large quantities of easy-to-preserve grain crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes to prepare for the daily supplies of the large army in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is the problem of guns and ammunition in the large army. However, in the decadent dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, having power and money, guns and ammunition was not a problem at all.

Through secret operations such as bribery, bribery, intimidation, assassination, etc., Qin Zhongyu, Li Fengrui, Li Fengrui, and Li Guangxin, Xu Fang and others in the Northern Exhibition spent a huge amount of money to buy more than 30,000 "Hanyang-made" rifles and a large number of bullets from the Hanyang Arsenal and other places where guns and ammunition were invented in the Qing Dynasty, and then all of them were secretly transported to Yixian for storage.

"Made in Hanyang" was copied by the Qing Dynasty based on the German Mauser 1898 rifle. The gun has a total length of 125omm, a scale range of 2m, and uses Mauser 792mm bullets.

The "Hanyang-made" bullet has a very domineering killing effect on the human body. After the bullet hits the human body, it will encounter great resistance in the human body tissue. When the bullet overcomes the resistance, the kinetic energy it has itself will be released. The released kinetic energy will form the so-called "explosion" effect in the human body tissue.

For example, after the "Hanyang" bullet hits the muscles of a human leg, the leg bones near the muscles will be blown off by this "explosion" effect.

The "Hanyang-made" rifle is of reliable quality, and it also has a fixed magazine with 5 bullets. It is very easy to operate and uses. It is suitable for coming from Borneo and is used to using the M Fourth Reorganizer.

At the end of 7, the fourth reorganization division was broken into pieces and returned to the coastal areas of Zhejiang in batches.

After some rest, the Fourth Reorganizer left more than 10,000 people in the south to cooperate with the actions of Qin Zhongyu, Li Fengrui and others.

The remaining more than 20,000 people, under the arrangement of division commander Huang Lisheng and political commissar Zhuge Qingsong, went on squads as units and 6 waters along the way. By transporting grain, escorting goods, doing business, begging, etc., they went to the mountains and forests west of Beijing City and Baoding Prefecture one after another, and lurked under the cover of the People's Liberation Army soldiers, intelligence personnel and anti-Qing righteous men who arrived first.

After the rest of the 20,000 people from the Fourth Reorganized Division were completed, the military spirits of Li Guangxin and Xu Fang were recruited and trained by the two men, composed of tens of thousands of poor people in the north, could be tried hard to disguise themselves as a unit composed of northerners.

At the same time, a unit of more than three people was sent to disperse and form several bandits, and carried out large-scale operations to rob the rich and help the poor and loot the goods west of Baoding to attract the Qing army to encircle and suppress the people.

At 4 pm on July 2, 8th, in the lobby of Yixian County, Baoding Prefecture, senior officers such as Li Guangxin, Xu Fang, Huang Lisheng, commander of the Fourth Reorganization Division, and Zhuge Qingsong, political commissar, sat together to discuss matters.

Bai Yunzhi, the Yi County Magistrate, dressed in the Qing Dynasty's official uniform, stood beside him and listened carefully to the dialogue between these senior PLA officers.

The generous and generous big man Li Guangxin sat high at this time, waved the telegram in his hand, and shouted happily: "According to the latest news, the principal will arrive in Tianjin by boat in the next few days."

Everyone cheered for a while, and Li Guangxin continued to yell: "***, some time ago, I heard that the old witch in the Forbidden City was seriously ill and could not take matters. I was worried that I could not send the old witch back to the west in person. Fortunately, I received the news that the old witch recovered yesterday and felt relieved. Hahahaha."

Influenced by Li Guangxin, everyone laughed for a while. Zhuge Qingsong said loudly: "Because the conflict between the Manchu and Qing nobles was too deep, our operation west of Baoding Prefecture had already played a role. The Manchu and Qing Dynasty decided to transfer the First Town and First Association to encircle and suppress. As long as we can drag it for a while, Beijing City will be taken down more easily by then."

"Haha" Xu Fang smiled and said, "As the PLA's strength grows, the PLA's general staff's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Originally, we just wanted to go to the Forbidden City to rob and kill those annoying guys. Now, we have to take down the entire Beijing city and nearby areas. This business is getting bigger and bigger."
