After Li Chun successfully became the overseer of Hubei, the next day he invited the gentry, large households, and military and political dignitaries of the three towns of Wuhan into the superintendent's mansion to meet with Chang Zhenbang and himself, Chang Zhenbang immediately expressed his attitude, and promised that he would not interfere with the living order of the gentry and the people in the jurisdiction of the rebel army, and would not ask for military salaries at will, and would not arbitrarily levy taxes, but all things that needed to increase money and taxes would be recruited in advance, and they would only be implemented with the consent of more than half of them, and they felt that it was unfair. If more than two-thirds of them object, they can write a letter to abandon the matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After hearing what Chang Zhenbang said, the squires were overjoyed, and voted to support it, and some people proposed to join Chang Zhenbang's revival party, Tang Baichuan immediately said that the Hubei branch of the revival party is under construction, but the qualifications of party members can be approved and accepted now, many of them already know that after yesterday's conversation in the Hubei Governor's Mansion, after all, since ancient times, the speculators have taken joining the Baxing Party as a shortcut to join the Chang Jiangxi system, but more just want to find a backer, after all, there are many parties in these yearsIt is possible for one person to be in several parties, and no one will have any trouble because of this, as long as this party is not one of the arrogant fanatics of the revolutionary party.

Just when everyone was jubilant and the situation in Wuchang was very good, a soldier ran in in a hurry and said to Chang Zhenbang and others: "Lord Cavalry, Sun Chuanfang commands the First Division of Hubei, and the Second Division of Beiyang has crossed the Xianning Hesheng Bridge and is heading straight for Wuchang. ”

The cheerful anger stopped abruptly, and the relaxed anger suddenly became a lot more solemn, what kind of person is this Sun Chuanfang, not to mention Zhiyong, there are two divisions under his command, one is the second division of Beiyang, and the other is the first division of Hubei, both of which are the division of tigers and wolves, in the past, when he stomped his feet, the entire Hubei Province had to tremble a few times, these gentry officials heard that he was coming with troops, their faces suddenly changed color, and many people took the opportunity to retreat, the scene was chaotic a lot, Chang Zhen hurriedly mobilized the guard division to deploy in a dangerous position, Li Tingyu grabbed Chang Zhenbang's hand and said: "Don't be impatient, my lord, now that Li Chun has successfully become the overseer of Hubei, Sun Chuanfang is a great ability, and he does not dare to rebel blatantly!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Brother Li, you said a lot, but people are harmless tigers, tigers hurt people, now we have driven away Wang Zhanyuan, Sun Chuanfang lost the battle in Hubei, it is inevitable that the dog jumps off the wall, we have to be careful." ”

Li Tingyu said: "What the lord said is extremely true, but I still want to meet that Sun Chuanfang to see what capital he has to dare to play tricks in front of me and other Beiyang lords!" ”

Chang Zhenbang thought for a while, and said: "Since Brother Li wants to go, it is not easy for me to be a brother to stop me, please be sure to lead the brothers of the Sixth Division to go, so as not to have any more moths in that Sun Chuanfang." ”

Li Tingyu said: "Last time he was taken by Sun Chuanfang's house, it was the fault of his humble position, and this time he was not so lucky." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "It's good that the eldest brother has such mental preparations, this official has asked the Hanyang Arsenal to reassemble the brothers of the Sixth Division, I believe that under the command of the eldest brother, they will definitely be able to defeat Sun Chuanfang's troops and achieve better results!" ”

After Li Tingyu said goodbye, he immediately came to the camp of the Sixth Division, and after walking around, he only took a dozen personal horses and rode fast horses to Xianning.

Xianning County, after Sun Chuanfang rested for a while, but he was a little troubled, since he heard that a large number of rebel troops suddenly rushed out of the Hanyang British Concession to besiege the three towns of Wuhan, he was not a fool, and immediately understood what was going on. Without saying a word, he took his descendant army and hoped to rush over before something happened in Wuchang, originally with his marching speed and the solidity of Wuchang City, it was entirely possible to arrive under the city before the rebel army entered the city, and Wang Zhanyuan and others should cooperate with the rebel army to drive the rebel army down the Yangtze River, but who knows, Wang Zhanyuan's rule in Hubei is really unpopular, when Sun Chuanfang was about to arrive in Xianning, the gentry of the people in Wuchang finally opened the city gate to usher in the rebel army and drove Wang Zhanyuan away. Wang Zhanyuan may have all kinds of deficiencies in the eyes of others, but he brought Sun Chuanfang step by step from the army, the weight of trust is like flesh and blood, and the kindness is as deep as a father and son.

But after all, he is a very human being, he will not be easily swayed by emotions, sad and angry at the same time, he also knows that he has lost Wang Zhanyuan, he is just the commander of the first division of Hubei, and the second division of Beiyang led by him will be seized sooner or later, thinking of this, he really wants to wave his army north, conquer Wuchang, and let Wang Zhanyuan re-ascend to the position of the overseer of Hubei, but unfortunately it backfired, the rules of the overseer's game roommate are not something he can afford as a division commander, and after Wang Zhanyuan came out of Wuchang, he lost the rules of the game.

Just when he was in a dilemma and in a dilemma, Li Tingyu came to Xianning City and shouted to meet him. When Sun Chuanfang heard that it was him, a feasible idea suddenly appeared in his mind like lightning, and then he strode to the city gate tower, took the telescope and looked at it, sure enough, it was Li Tingyu, the overseer of Jiangxi, but to his surprise, there were only a dozen horses behind Li Tingyu. His head couldn't help but turn, thinking that this Li Tingyu was an old man in the Beiyang, he had always been steady and sophisticated in fighting, but also weird, and he was very difficult to deal with, and now he only came to him with such a small number of troops, no matter what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd, it was better to be careful in everything, thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted: "It turned out to be Li Dujun, you are not enjoying happiness in Wuchang City, why did you come to me?" ”

Li Tingyu smiled and said, "Hubei Overseer Wang Zhanyuan Wang Overseer has stepped down three days ago, and Li Chun Overseer has taken over as the new Hubei Overseer, this news Lord Sun should know!" ”

Sun Chuanfang hated a lot in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't change his face and said, "Is it? The king overseers had a tacit understanding with the lowly office, but he was never heard to mention it. ”

Li Tingyu laughed, slowly took out a letter of appointment from his sleeve, and read it slowly in front of everyone: "Sun Chuanfang, the commander of the First Division of Hubei, receives the order!" ”

Sun Chuanfang smiled coldly: "Hey, the appointment letter of the Hubei Overseer actually asked the Jiangxi Overseer to announce the order, and the last general doesn't know when this Hubei Overseer was so precious." Having said that, he still ordered the city gate to be opened, came to Li Tingyu, and bowed.

Li Tingyu said: "I hereby appoint Sun Chuanfang, the commander of the First Division of Hubei, as the envoy of Suizhou Town, and on the day of receiving the order, I will immediately go north to Suizhou and escort the veteran general Wang Zhan back to Beijing!" ”

After Sun Chuanfang took it, he put it away, and then invited Li Tingyu to say: "Thank you brother for coming to announce the order, the last general has already asked people to prepare a banquet at the county office, and I hope that the adults will appreciate it one or two." ”

Li Tingyu smiled slightly: "After General Wang retired, he moved to Suizhou, just when he needed Lord Sun's protection, and I hope that Lord Sun will act immediately not to live up to General Wang's cultivation grace, as for the banquet and the like, it is still exempt, and the official will return to Wuchang immediately after the order, so as not to make you anxious." ”

Sun Chuanfang smiled and said, "The adults are in such a hurry, isn't it underestimating the last general?" Come on, please Inspector Li into the city! As soon as the words fell, many sergeants rushed over, wanting to forcibly take Li Tingyu away, Li Tingyu smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Sun really loves General Wang very much, and he actually wants to use me for Wang Zhanyuan in exchange for the position of Hubei Overseer, loyal and commendable, but unfortunately too brainless!" It's a disappointment. Then he put his hand in his mouth, and the crisp whistle suddenly sounded, and the horse powder behind him tore off his clothes, leaking out the gunpowder bag that was densely wrapped around his body like an ant, and frightened the soldiers who surrounded him to dodge, Li Tingyu laughed when he saw it, Sun Chuanfang was stunned, just imagine that this Li Tingyu, as a dignified Jiangxi overseer, should understand the truth that the son of a daughter can't sit down, who knew that he actually threw out such a scoundrel side, it really made him cry and laugh and didn't know what to do, if it really provoked him, I can get in, if I don't care, I will lose face in front of the soldiers, and I am really in a dilemma for a while. Li Tingyu took advantage of this opportunity to stride forward, grabbed Sun Chuanfang's hand, dragged him into his horse, and said: "It seems that General Sun is so welcoming the call of the Overseer, this place is not far from Wuchang, so the museum simply invited the General to go to Wuchang City to meet the Overseer." ”

When the horses saw Sun Chuanfang coming, they immediately went up and surrounded him, although they only had a dozen people, but it was enough to deal with one Sun Chuanfang. After Sun Chuanfang's soldiers reacted, they instinctively wanted to rush over to rescue him, but they didn't dare to move.

Sun Chuanfang said: "Li Dujun has good intentions, but the first division of Hubei is a proud general, and without the last general, I am afraid that there will be some chaos, so where is Wuchang ......?"

Li Tingyu waved his hand and said: "There is no need to worry about this matter, this official has already made a decision. Immediately took out another letter of appointment and said, "Meng Zhaoyue received the order!" ”

"Commander Meng Zhaoyue of the Seventh Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division of the Beiyang Division has seen Inspector Li!"

A young general rushed out of the city and saluted Li Tingyu.

Li Tingyu held up the appointment letter and said: "Meng Zhaoyue is hereby appointed as the deputy envoy of Suizhou Town, and on the day of Sun Zhen's envoy's absence, you are allowed to temporarily act as an agent for political affairs, and you must not be tired, and you are appointed as the acting chief of staff of the Second Beiyang Division. ”

Meng Zhaoyue was overjoyed and said: "The humble post must keep in mind the teachings of the Overseer, and I hope that the Lord can rest assured!" With that, he stepped aside.

Wang Jinjing, the deputy commander of the Beiyang Second Division on the side, couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, the position of the chief of staff turned out to be Sun Chuanfang's, and Sun Chuanfang's Wang Zhanyuan was favored, so he spoke more effectively than him, but it seemed that he Sun Chuanfang was the deputy division commander, and now the position of chief of staff was given to Meng Zhaoyue. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel resentful in my heart, and I was really angry that my dignified deputy division commander had become an ornament one after another.

Li Tingyu saw it, smiled, and said, "Second Division Wang Jinjing received the order!" Wang Jinjing hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I have seen the Overseer, and the Overseer is blessed with Jin'an!" Li Tingyu said: "I hereby appoint you as the acting commander of the second division, although you are in charge of the whole division, you must work hard in the center, serve the Quartet, and reluctantly." Wang Jinjing said: "My subordinates are willing to serve adults, and they will not hesitate to do so!" ”

As soon as Sun Chuanfang saw the two of them come out, he suddenly lost his temper, this Meng Zhaoyue is Li Chun's distant relative, and he has long wanted to remove him, but in view of the fact that he has always been diligent, hard-working, without complaints, and his popularity is not bad, he is a master who is willing to suffer, he can't replace a talent because of the blood relationship that can't be beaten by a few strokes, who knows that Li Chun finally made a fuss with this bloodline, even if Meng Zhaoyue doesn't want to cling to Li Chun, he can't help but think otherwise. Once others think so, I am afraid that many people in the Second Division will respect Li Chun, the new overseer's order, and what makes him even more frightened is that Li Chun deprived him of the title of Chief of Staff and gave it to Meng Zhaoyue, which is to cut off all nominal ties between himself and the Second Division. In the future, even if he comes out of Wuchang City, I am afraid that he will not be able to interfere in the affairs of the Second Division normally.

Speaking of the deputy division commander Wang Jinjing, according to reason, Wang Zhanyuan should be the first and he is the second, but his second was suppressed into an ornament by his chief of staff, and this Wang Jinjing's popularity is not bad, so that many people usually have grievances for him, Li Chun appointed him as the division commander, which just made him angry, and the second division of Beiyang was afraid that it would be thrown into Li Chun's arms under his leadership.

It seems that he has to find a way to return to Suizhou as soon as possible, and it is the best plan to return to the second division of Beiyang again with the help of Wang Zhanyuan's prestige.

Li Tingyu grabbed Wang Jinjing's hand and said: "After Brother Wang goes back, you might as well tell your brothers after training that now that Li Chun and Li are in power, the military salary and food will only be more, not less." Then he turned back to the horses and said, "Send me the 100,000 oceans that the Overseer has rewarded his brothers!" After saying that, the two horses turned over and went north, and after a while, a carriage was escorted, and there were four or five large wooden boxes on the carriage, Li Tingyu boarded the car with a smile, and kicked a box to the ground, and the box slammed on the ground, and the hula leaked out countless silver dollars, and the fusion but dazzling silver light was like a ghost with countless arms, which bewitched people's eyes, and also caught people's hearts at once.

Wang Jinjing said in disbelief: "These are all for the brothers? ”

Li Tingyu arched his hands at Xianning City and said: "The former Hubei overseer Wang Zhanyuan was corrupt and corrupt, cleverly robbed, deducted military salaries, and rotted weapons, but the brothers are the center, for Beiyang to guard Hubei, resist rebellion, it is really hard, Li Tingyu and Li Chun thank you brothers again!" Please also ask Master Wang to send these silver dollars out and distribute them to all the brothers! ”

When Wang Jinjing heard this, he couldn't help but be moved and said, "I am willing to bow and die for the Overseer!" Then the brothers of the Second Beiyang Division also shouted: "I am willing to die for the Overseer!" ”

Li Tingyu said: "Your character, the Overseer knows, the Lord said, you do things, he can rest assured!" During Sun Chuanfang's trip to Wuchang, the first division of Hubei was also under your control. Do a good job, adults can't treat you badly! After speaking, he turned around and ran towards Wuchang with Sun Chuanfang.

Behind them was an earth-shattering gun salute.

Li Tingyu smiled with relief, he knew that from today onwards, the Second Beiyang Division had become Li Chun's strength, and it would be much easier to hold Hubei with this army, and it could be regarded as making up for the guilt and regret of commanding the Sixth Division of Beiyang and leaving the old brother with no one to bring.

Seeing him like this, Sun Chuanfang couldn't help but smile coldly: "Li Tingyu, you have done so much for Li Chun, does Chang Zhenbang know?" I'm afraid that today's events will break Chang Zhenbang's feet in the future. ”

Li Tingyu smiled faintly and said: "If you don't take it, you will be blamed by it." If not, what can you do? ”

Sun Chuanfang said: "If you say that the sins of heaven are forgivable, it is good that people cannot live for their sins!" Ha ha. After saying that, he clamped his legs and ran forward, and the weird laughter made Li Tingyu rush to a creepy and couldn't help but think deeply, maybe what this person said also makes sense, Li Chun has the army of Hubei and the second division of Beiyang, he will inevitably become bigger, with his prestige in Jiangxi and Jiangsu, as long as he wants to do it for a short time, it will be a feudal gift across three provinces, and he is bound to compete with Chang Zhenbang, where is his position at that time?

There is a way that the people who ride the car carry the troubles of the people, the clothes of the people carry the worries of the people, and the cannibals and the eaters of the dead people. Chang Zhenbang treats himself obediently and respectfully, like the third big man in the five southeastern provinces, Li Chun is his classmate and friend, many years of hardship, friend of life and death, it is impossible for him to deal with Li Chun, both sides are good to themselves, if they really fight, where should they go?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking about the disputes and bullying in the five southeastern provinces after the breakup of these two people, but he told himself in his heart that these two people have always been friendly and amiable, otherwise Chang Zhenbang would not have been on the table for Li Chun to ask for the post of Hubei, Jiangxi and Suzhou patrol envoys, looking forward to these two people being able to share weal and woe, and cooperate and benefit each other as always.

Sun Chuanfang, who ran to the front, slowly slowed down his pace under Ma Ben's watch, and said: "This trip to Wuchang is more auspicious, Li Dujun might as well send someone to send me to Suizhou, it's not that I am boasting, with my Sun Chuanfang here, Li Chun will never have a day to sleep down, as long as the official restrains him, where does he still have the heart to make trouble with Chang Zhenbang?" What does Inspector Li think? ”

At this time, Li Tingyu, who was flustered, suddenly heard this idea, and felt that it was not bad, and thought about it, maybe it was also a good idea, when even if he asked three or four horses to send Sun Chuanfang to Suizhou. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had let the tiger return to the mountain, and he hurriedly led people to chase after him again.
