On November 7, the night of Wu Luzhen's assassination, Shijiazhuang Station. Before the night passed, a light was like a bean.

Wu Luzhen opened his eyes, but saw a young man in red clothes sitting on a Taishi chair on the side of the bed, looking at him with a smile to himself.

"You're the King of Han?" Wu Luzhen calmed down, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I'm Zhu Chongzhen. How did you do with the three-way forcing Beijing? ”

"Zhang Shaozeng and Yan Xishan have been properly contacted, and they will be able to send troops in a few days!" Wu Luzhen's arrogance did not decrease, "It's a pity that my legs are disabled, otherwise I would have been able to mention the sixth town to force Beijing." At this time, as long as the Gyeonggi is shaken, the revolution is in the center of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the north and the south echo, then the revolution will definitely be successful, and our Huanghuang Han will be able to re-establish itself in the world! ”

Zhu Chongzhen smiled faintly, but asked: "How many people are there in Shijiazhuang in this sixth town of Beiyang?" ”

Wu Luzhen was stunned, "How can I know about this kind of thing?" ”

"Well, that's right," Zhu Chongzhen nodded, "So, how many people in this sixth town are loyal to the Han and willing to revolution?" ”

"Expelling the Tartars and restoring China is a once-in-a-lifetime glory, who doesn't compete for the lead?"

Zhu Chongzhen smiled to himself, "That's right, let me ask you again, how many sergeants' families are in Zhili in this sixth town?" ”

Wu Luzhen was a little annoyed by the question, if it wasn't Zhu Chongzhen in person, I was afraid that he would have scolded angrily. But at this time, it didn't work, Wu Luzhen took a breath and said slowly: "What's the use of such trivial things, I know?!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Chongzhen snorted, "Suiqing is reasonable, but Zhu is abrupt." Suiqing is the first of the three non-commissioned officers, and what he does is naturally earth-shattering, and such trivial things naturally can't bother Suiqing. ”

After speaking, Zhu Chongzhen stood up and said to Wu Luzhen: "Suiqing's injury this time is not light, although the rescue is timely, but it is still necessary to take care of it for a while." Suiqing, wait here, I'll go out and have a look, and tell the kitchen to get some liquid food. ”

The Miyamoto brothers were guarding the door at the moment, and they had already arrived when Ma Buzhou was assassinated. But because last night's situation was too dangerous, and the two of them were Japanese, it was inconvenient to make a move, so Zhu Chongzhen took the two with him, just to teach the last example.

Seeing Zhu Chongzhen come out, Miyamoto Yoshiei stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, how are things?" ”

Zhu Chongzhen shook his head, sighed, and didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Has anyone in the Beiyang Army come to see it?" ”

"Several officers have come, and the leader claims to be Zhang Shiying."

"Where are these people now?"

"Still waiting outside the hospital."

"Let's go meet us." Zhu Chongzhen smiled secretly in his heart, but it was he who laughed, he thought that he could save some effort and take advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect Wu Luzhen's great name, but he was such an exaggerated person.

The few people waiting at the gate of the courtyard looked like soldiers, standing like a pine and walking like the wind, and it was obvious that they had undergone rigorous training.

As soon as several people at the door saw Zhu Chongzhen coming out, they surrounded them, and the first one of them was Zhang Shiying, who asked: "King Han, I don't know how the Wu system is now?" ”

"I lost my legs, but fortunately, I don't have to worry about my life." Zhu Chongzhen said, "But I'm a little curious, I want to ask Yuhe, what does this Wu commander do in the army in peacetime?" ”

Zhang Shiying replied with a look of reverence: "Wu commands celebrities and scholars, and often sings and makes peace with people in the capital, and most of them are not in the army in peacetime. ”

Yoshihide Miyamoto and Yoshio Miyamoto glanced at each other, and only then did they know why Zhu Chongzhen sighed just now. Although the two have never entered a military school, when they were in Hawaii, they also spent a year in the American military camp because of the school system of Yiye Academy, and they are no strangers to military affairs. At this moment, Zhang Shiying had a reverent tone, but he said such an unbelievable thing, which really opened the eyes of the two of them. This Wu Luzhen, who is not only responsible for the great cause of rejuvenating the nation, but also as the chief officer in the army, is in such an excellent position, not thinking about tempering the soldiers and educating the revolution every day, but leaving the army to do poetry, wine, singing and harmony! If it can be done like this, how many heroes will be ashamed to die? The two of them thought in their hearts, and then remembered the behavior of the southern party, and couldn't help but shake their heads, it seems that this revolutionary party in the north and south cannot be generalized!

In fact, the two misunderstood. Originally, this was not the difference between the revolutionaries of the North and the South. Let's just say that Wu Luzhen, when the Hunan Huaxing Association was first established, he and Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren and others were all initiators. It was only later that he had another chance to come to the north and become the ruler of the sixth town in Beiyang. In fact, in the final analysis, it's just that this reckless person is different from the person who smells it. This difference is the brightest in Yan Xishan, who led the revolution in Shanxi.

It is said that Yan Xishan, during the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, was also determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, not only joined the League, but when he returned to China, he did not avoid all dangers and brought back two*, bent on them ringing on the road of the revolution. But this kind of thing is just a fashion among Japanese students, and it's just a matter of catching up with them abroad. When I really returned to my homeland, as soon as the wind of high-ranking officials blew, I was able to calm down in an instant. Now that he has been in charge of the time and place, who will remember all the nonsense in a foreign land? I'm afraid that the two* brought back by Yan Xishan have been left for too long, not only can the dust fall on a few layers, but it will be rust, and it must not be less.

However, a gunshot rang out in Wuchang in October, which brought the tide of armed constitutionalism to the Qing State. The fashion of staying in Japan has now become the fashion of the Qing Dynasty, and the revolution can not only win the reputation of the people before and after, but also a good means to promote and make a fortune and leapfrog the ranks. For a time, true and false, there may be those who are consistent and dedicated to revolution, but they are difficult to deserve, such as Wu Luzhen; But there are also those who fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to take the position, if they really want to care, this is true and false, I am afraid it is more fake.

To be honest, the revolution must be carried out as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be a counter-revolution!

Hearing Zhang Shiying's words, Zhu Chongzhen also echoed: "Sure enough, it's a real celebrity who is self-effeminate!" But he turned around and said, "Suiqing is injured, and no one can take care of him, so there is no need to rush about these three ways to attack the capital." I don't think it's as good as this, so I ask Yuhe to select 300 soldiers from among the soldiers who are truly revolutionary, and it is better to have more brothers who can shoot artillery, and I will take them with me as the vanguard, and first go to disperse the Praetorian Guards, and then force Beijing. The rest of the people are here and waiting for the Jin army to arrive, so okay? ”

As soon as Zhu Chongzhen finished saying this, Zhang Shiying and several people immediately looked at each other, a little embarrassed, and finally Zhang Shiying explained to Zhu Chongzhen: "Last night, Wu Tongzhi was assassinated, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead, and most of the soldiers below heard the rumors, and most of them dispersed. ”

"That's it," Zhu Chongzhen thought about it sideways, he was not in his homeland, but he forgot about this one that often happened in history, "I don't know how many soldiers are left now?" ”

"There are probably more than 300 people." Zhang Shiying was a little surprised.

"I remember that the Jin army also arrived in a battalion, where are they now?" Zhu Chongzhen asked.

Zhang Shiying shook his head and sighed, "I don't know." As soon as the Assassins retreated, we sent for them, but by then they were no longer in the camp. The sergeant reported that looking at the traces in the camp, it was estimated that he had been locked up to the lady. ”

Zhu Chongzhen really couldn't help it, haha was happy, and then waved his hand at Zhang Shiying and a few people, and said with a smile: "Is the Praetorian Guard in front of us still there?" If they also withdraw, it would be very labor-saving. ”

He smiled so hard that Zhang Shiying's faces suddenly became a little hot, and He Sui, who was in charge of the investigation, said ashamedly: "The Praetorian Guards are still there, but for some reason, they didn't take advantage of the chaos to attack us. ”

Zhu Chongzhen thought about it, and comforted everyone: "Actually, it's not a bad thing that this soldier is scattered, and they will save us from doing some investigation." ”

"I just don't know, how many of the hundreds of people left behind will be able to fire?"

Everyone looked at each other a few times, was silent, and finally He Sui thought about it and replied: "There should be thirty or forty people." ”

It is implied in the book that most of the people who stayed behind were He Sui's deployment. Then He Sui, who graduated from Baoding Military Academy, has some classmates and friends in the sixth town of Beiyang. Because he is only a middle-level officer, and then he is angry, but there are quite a few sergeants who can command the move. In the book, when this person was studying in the Fujian Military Academy in the past, he was very friendly with Lin Juemin and others who were martyred in Huanghuagang, so he can be regarded as a revolutionary with good roots.

After a while, He Sui found more than 300 soldiers, Zhu Chongzhen did not pay close attention, left more than 200 people for Zhang Shiying, and only brought more than 100 people himself, so that everyone could get enough bullets in the intercepted Qing Dynasty munitions and materials, and pulled more than a dozen Krupp cannons, and then marched to the Praetorian Guard in front.

The Praetorian Guards, although they are all Manchurians, and it is said that they have been trained by Liangbi, who is the most knowledgeable soldier in the Qing Dynasty, but in the final analysis, how can the masters of the Eight Banners touch the guns? Not to mention the bullets, Zhu Chongzhen led three hundred men and horses to the camp of the Praetorian Guard, and did not rush to the camp, let alone raid, only put a stick of incense cannon in the distance, shouted a few times, and when he looked at it again at dawn, there was only ordnance, grain and grass left in the camp of the Praetorian Guard, and there was no more than half a figure.

Zhu Chongzhen crossed the horse in the camp of the Praetorian Guard, and it was only funny to think about it, Fang Xiaoru, Fang Xinru and the Guangfuhui in the southeast had all fought bloody battles, but the objects of the hard battles were all Han people. The Manchurians who should really stick to the country with an iron heart slipped away quickly, even if those three or two are still a little bloody, but most of them are the warriors of the year and the old men of today!

The so-called battle to drive the Manchurian and Xinghan people, in the final analysis, was still a competition between the Han people.

The Miyamoto brothers next to him still looked incredulous. Both of them, both of them have experienced the night battle of Wuchang, I thought that Wuchang, a distant place, would fight so hard, this time the troops were raised and directly subordinated, straight into the capital, in the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, it will be full of swords and swords, it is a move of nine deaths and a lifetime, I can't think of it, but it is so easy.

"Big brother, what are we going to do next?"

"Doing nothing, after so many days of hard work, we will rest in Shijiazhuang for a few days and watch the current situation; When they arrived, they went to Beijing to rush to the Forbidden Covenant. ”
