I Evolved The Heavens

Concubine Xiao Yun flashed a different color in her eyes. She thought about various possibilities, but she did not expect that Yang Yi's revolution was to establish a democratic republic, not to sit on the throne.

She changed her mind and asked: "Yang Yi, according to what you just said, your future president is born by election, and under a democratic system, men and women are equal. Does this mean that I will join you and be eligible to run for president in the future? ?"

Yang Yi was stunned. He looked at Xiao Yunfei's expectant eyes and couldn't help but smile. She was still a Wu Zetian-style woman.

He nodded and said: "Of course, but it is not easy for you to run for president. You must have broad support to have the hope of success."

Of course, the identity of Concubine Xiao Yun's woman is also a big shackle.

In thousands of years of feudal tradition, most people cannot accept women as'emperors'.

Concubine Xiao Yun giggled and said, "As long as there is this opportunity, Yang Yi, I can join you now. I wonder if you agree?"

Hong Xuanjiao listened quietly, and she nodded faintly.

If it is exactly what Yang Yi said, then they will be completely relieved to join, and there is no need to worry about being excluded in the future.

Yang Yi smiled and said, "As the vice president, I naturally have the right to introduce you to the conference. Now that you are also a member of the Xingzhong Association, I will briefly tell you about the secret meeting we held last night."

Next, he outlined the plan for the uprising.

Then he continued: "I don't know how many troops you have and how many muskets you can draw out?"

Concubine Xiao Yun said: "We now have 3,000 troops and can give you 7,000 muskets. However, my brothers will settle accounts, and I will not open my mouth too much. How about you buy them at a price of 25 yuan per shot?"

Originally, her plan was to make some conditions with Yang Yi with 7,000 muskets.

But now that she has joined the Xingzhonghui, it would be too much to raise the conditions like this, so she chose to sell it.

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Okay, the price is not expensive. The uprising will be officially launched in three days. I hope you can ship to Foshan as soon as possible. If you need help with the transportation, please do not hesitate to speak. Oh, yes, I don’t know about you. Where are the troops deployed?"

Xiao Yunfei said: "We are in the Tianding Mountain, near Suijiang, and down the river is Foshan. I have sent a message to my hometown yesterday, and asked them to bring the rifle here as soon as possible, and the slowest can arrive tomorrow."

Yang Yi nodded, and he pondered for a while, and said, "So Miss Xiao, Zhaoqing should be very close to you. In that case, you will conquer Zhaoqing in three days. Then a thousand troops will be split and merged with me eastward. Guangzhou, what do you think?"

"Can!"

Concubine Xiao Yun nodded, Yang Yi said exactly what he wanted.

As Zhaoqing's lair, she must hold it in her hands.

But Guangzhou is also the center of power in the future, and she naturally can't miss it. She took a thousand soldiers and horses just to get a foothold in the past.

Yang Yi stood up and said, "If that's the case, then we're all set. Xiao Miss, senior, with a lot of business, I will leave first."

Hong Xuanjiao nodded and said, "Concubine Yun, you go and send Yang Yi off."

"Okay, grandma."

Yang Yi nodded slightly, then turned around and went out.

Concubine Xiao Yun sent him all the way out of Zhuangzi, then turned back to the lobby and said excitedly: "Grandma, their democratic president is elected, and there are also term limits. I believe that by my means, I can definitely be the president in the future. Throne."

Hong Xuanjiao couldn't deny it, she just said: "It's good that you have this idea, but this is a man's world after all. We women are inherently restricted by all kinds of things we do.

If you really want to run for president in the future, you'd better marry Yang Yi, a kid.

He is obsessed with Martial Dao, he has huge resources, and he is the vice president, which can just make up for your shortcomings. "

A faint light flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes, and finally she nodded slowly.

…………

Three days passed in a flash.

In Foshan, the gunfire of the uprising started first.

There was hardly any resistance, and the rebel army easily occupied the various yamen in Foshan.

All the officers and men surrendered without firing a single shot.

Because many of their family members were employees of Yang Yi's company, or even disciples of the boat gang, they surrendered in the face of Yang Yi's uprising.

Both the prefect and the admiral were captured alive, and Yang Yi did not embarrass them, but was imprisoned.

As for their future, it depends on their good fortune.

After leaving three thousand auxiliary soldiers to defend the city, Yang Yi led his six thousand ship gang disciples, nine thousand auxiliary soldiers, and Xiao Yun's one thousand Xiao character camp, and smashed to Guangzhou.

An army of 16,000 people makes the Guangzhou Garrison a great enemy.

They hurried to the west of the city, trying to stop the insurgents.

Yang Yi did not choose to attack, even if he had an absolute superior force, he still chose to camp and confront the Guangzhou Garrison.

Because among his 6,000 people, even the trained boat gang disciples, they are all recruits.

It's okay to fight a tailwind, and it's easy to collapse once the attack is blocked.

If Yang Yi didn't attack, the garrison would naturally be desperate.

So the two sides confronted each other tacitly, and no one attacked.

But at this time, the various prefectures and counties in Guangdong have turned against the sky.

One by one militia groups and local garrison uprisings, they easily occupied various government offices and imprisoned all officials.

Subsequently, they sent troops to Guangzhou one after another as agreed.

In less than ten days, as many as 40,000 troops gathered around Guangzhou.

Faced with such a huge disparity in military strength, coupled with the constant activities of the agents of the Xingzhonghui in the garrison, the garrison finally couldn't bear the pressure and chose to disarm and surrender.

In this way, the Xingzhong guild soldiers occupied Guangzhou without bloodshed.

This also means that the whole of Guangdong has fallen into the hands of Xingzhonghui.

…………

At the same time, the capital had already turned upside down.

No one thought that Guangdong would be occupied by the rebels in less than ten days.

Although the loss of Guangdong had already been expected by everyone, the surrender of the garrison enraged the court, because this not only meant that the rebels were unscathed, but they would also include five thousand elite musketeers to strengthen their strength.

In ten days, Cixi, Li Hongzhang and others had just discussed how to quell the rebellion.

But now that the entire Guangdong is lost, the troop dispatch plan will naturally have to be revised.

In fact, it is difficult for the Manchu court today.

Because they are still fighting with the French in Annan, not only the military strength is empty, but the treasury is also empty.

But it is impossible not to send troops to suppress it, because once the rebels have gained a firm foothold, they can go north to attack the three provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian at any time, or occupy Guangxi to the west.

At that time, the entire southern situation will be eroded and the crisis of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom will reappear.

Since the imperial court has no money or soldiers, just as before, let the squires from various places organize gangs to resist the rebels spontaneously.

At the same time, the imperial court also decided to send 30,000 Huai troops to guard the capital to go south.

As for military expenses, it is naturally owed first.

The imperial court has made a promise to the Huai army on the expedition that every time they win a battle, they can plunder the place for a day.

That's what they did when they wiped out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Li Hongzhang also urgently met with the French ambassador to discuss ending the Annan war.

Now that the country is on fire, they still have the heart to fight the French.
