Chapter 1616 Can we always rely on Ming Kingdom?

Unlike Zou Yana's anxiety, the actions of the new army in the city were much smoother.

When Zou Yana did not launch an attack, the new army not only completed the integration of the revolutionary forces in the city, wiped out the reactionary forces and started a public trial, but also completed the formation of six civilian battalions, providing sufficient logistical support for the soldiers guarding the city wall.

Not only that, the old, young, women and children in the city were also formed to provide logistical support for the soldiers defending the city to cook, wash, and sew.

All those who participated in the work of defending the city were given rations by hair, one for each person, and there would never be a shortage.

The rations were not much, but they were enough to feed one's stomach, and there was no scramble, and the order was in order. Anyone who acted in disorder and was lazy would be arrested immediately, and paraded through the streets to show the public, causing them to die.

The political cadres of the Fuxing Association in the city ran back and forth, propagating the revolutionary ideas of the Fuxing Association everywhere, preaching the revolutionary principles to the people in the city, and kept telling them that Zou Yana’s troops outside the city were sharpening their knives, and whenever they returned to the city, everyone would die. , no one survived.

This is propaganda and it is fact.

For the city citizens, handicraft practitioners and small businessmen who have just experienced the tax tragedy, although they do not have much revolutionary enthusiasm, their desire to survive is just as strong.

No one knows better than them what will happen to Zou Yana once she returns to the city, so everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. If you want to survive, you must work together.

Under such circumstances, a united front was successfully established.

There was no turmoil in the city. Although there was a lot of work, no one complained. It was just that the family encouraged each other and supported each other silently.

Chaquan used the Revival Association branch as the command organization, and temporarily formed a five-member military team to agree on what they should do next and make decisions on military tasks.

At this moment, the branch of the Champaign Revival Association has no differences because of the current enemy. Everyone knows that if they want to survive, there is only one way to go.

After a few days of stalemate, some people gradually believed that the combat effectiveness of Zou Yana's troops was very problematic. They were just a large number of people, and there was no other place to detach from the new army.

If they take advantage of the right time and place, they may have the possibility of defeating Zou Yana directly.

So Fan Wenba, a member of the Champaign Revival Association and a member of the military team, proposed to Chaquan that he could try to organize an elite commando out of the city to sneak attack on Zou Yana to defeat Zou Yana.

In this way, it will be able to strengthen its prestige and enhance the military morale and popularity of the new army, which will also be of great benefit to future military struggles and will be conducive to the reconstruction of the Champaign state after the war.

In this regard, Chaquan was a little worried.

"Zou Yana's subordinates are numerous and powerful, and we are outnumbered, so we have no advantage. In this case, we should be cautious and should not be impatient, isn't it?"

Fan Wenba shook his head and listed the advantages of the new army he observed and the disadvantages of Zou Yana's army. First of all, he believed that the combat power of Zou Yana's army was not as good as that of the new army, and even if there were more troops, it would not be able to defeat the new army.

Chaquan also agreed with this, but he didn't think it could be a reason to take risks. He believed that the military knowledge he had learned in the Ming Kingdom told him that he should be cautious at such times, and everything would be solved when the reinforcements arrived.

So Fan Wenba put forward his second reason.

"Can we always rely on the Ming Kingdom? Do you want to be the head of state of the Champaign state in the future, or do you want to be the political counselor of the Champaign province of the Ming Kingdom?"

Fan Wenba's question stumped Chaquan.

"This……"

"Through the observation of the past few days, I can boldly make assumptions that we will definitely win, and Zou Yana will definitely be swept into the garbage heap. Although our revolution was launched in a hurry, our country is small, and the impact of the revolution will be very large. great.

As long as the Ming army arrives, our revolution will surely be victorious, but what about after the victory of the revolution?Do you intend to make Champa independent, or become a vassal of the Ming Kingdom, or simply become the Champaign province of the Ming Kingdom?I think you should consider this question. "

After Fan Wenba finished speaking, Chaquan was silent for a while before speaking slowly.

"This point, Minguo has promised, and the chairman himself has promised us that he will help the Champaign to get rid of oppression and exploitation, and help us build a new country of equality and freedom. I have never doubted the sincerity of the chairman. "

"That's the past, and it's empty talk, and I think we should be prepared."

Fan Wenba opened his mouth and said, "Champaign was once the Ninan County of the Han Dynasty in ancient times, and it used to be the territory of the Central Plains. Now if the Ming Kingdom uses the method of solving the Nanyue Li Clan to solve the Champaign, I don't think it will be difficult, because most of the All comrades have no resistance to the direct annexation of the Ming kingdom."

"You still care about this?"

Cha Quan looked at Fan Wenba with some surprise: "I have never thought about this question. In the past, the situation was so tense, you still have the heart to think about this issue?"

"I really like an old saying in the Central Plains, without far-sightedness, there must be near-term worries."

Fan Wenba smiled and said: "Now that Zou Yana is about to be destroyed, whether we destroy Zou Yana's army independently or wait for the Ming army to destroy Zou Yana will play a great role in whether we will establish an independent state or become a vassal of the Ming state after the war. .

I think it is better for us to be an independent country than to be a vassal of the Ming Kingdom or a province of the Ming Kingdom. After all, it has been a long time since we became an independent country from Nichinan County, and I do not want to become a Chinese citizen again. "

Chaquan had never thought about this issue before, he was just thinking about how to liberate Champaign.

But when Fan Wenbayi talked about it, he realized that this problem was indeed an imminent one.

Whether to continue to maintain an independent Champaign state, or merge into the Ming state to become a Champaign province, this choice will definitely become a choice before the war.

Su Yonglin once promised that he would promote their revolution to succeed and establish a democratic and equal Champaign state, but which one is more reliable than the past promise or the present reality?
Tea is completely uncertain.

When the choice was placed in front of him, Chaquan found that he was indeed more willing to maintain the independence of Champa, because the independence of Champa would inevitably accompany his existence as the supreme leader, so that his power and status could be guaranteed.

He is the father of the success of the Champa Revolution and the success of independence, and he will become a great existence in the history of Champa.

He was born in the ruling class, and he had seen much money and beauty since he was a child, so he had no attack power, but the temptation of this kind of merit and fame was difficult for him to refuse.

And if Champaign became the Champaign province of Ming after the revolution, then such merit and reputation would be greatly reduced.

and so……

"If we insist on independent statehood and establish a new Champaign state, how will the Ming Dynasty view us? Will the Ming Dynasty be hostile to us?"

Cha Quan looked at Fan Wenba and wanted to ask him if he had considered this issue.

Fan Wenba shook his head.

"I have all understood the theory of Chairman Su's articles. I think in his view, the sin is not an independent country, but the exploitation and oppression within this country. Since Chairman Su established our Champaign branch, there has been no compulsory order. passed us, which may mean that he did not intend to forcibly annex Champa after the war."

"you sure?"

"Nothing is absolute."

Fan Wenba spread his hands: "Where in the world is there an absolute certainty? I just speculate reasonably. If the chairman changes his mind, there is nothing we can do about it. Although he is no longer the emperor, he still holds the greatest power, he thinks. What to do, I don't think anyone in the Ming Kingdom can stop him."
