The next day, Ma Junwu and Li Siguang went to Shanghai, and Yang Shuai also wrote a letter to trust Ma Junwu to take to the German Concession to Yang Tai. After writing the letter, Yang Shuai couldn't help sighing, the communication is not good these days. Last time, Yang Shuai hoped that Yang Tai could complete two telegrams, but two months have passed, and Yang Tai still hasn't gotten it.

You must know that there are less than 100 places in the whole of China that can use telegraphs, and there are only three in Nanjing, one is in the hands of Huang Xing, and one is Japanese.

After sending off the two friends, Yang Shuai suddenly became lost. This Nanjing City seems so empty, even if people come and go, for Yang Shuai, there are a few people who can speak.

Huang Yiou is now busy helping Huang Xing run up and down every day, and Ma Junwu is gone again. All of a sudden, Yang Shuai seemed to have become a superfluous person in Nanjing, just when Yang Shuai was thinking about finding a way out. Suddenly, Huang Yiou rushed in, and didn't care about Zhang Dabiao, who greeted him at the door.

"Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun, hurry, hurry, follow me to see my father."

As soon as he took Yang Shuai's hand and left, Yang Shuai was shocked: "Yiou, what's the matter, so flustered?" ”

Huang Yiou screamed: "The pigtail army attacked Anhui, and Zhu Jiabao, the governor of Anhui, ran away, and he was about to fight Huainan." As soon as Huainan is in danger, Nanjing is in danger, and my father is hurriedly discussing countermeasures, and I want you to listen. ”

Yang Shuai was taken aback, the pigtail army was Zhang Xun's army. Zhang Xun can be said to be a diehard loyalist of the Qing Dynasty, until now his army is not allowed to cut braids, which shows his foolish loyalty. After the last defeat in Nanjing, Zhang Xun fled to Xuzhou with 5,000 men, and then fought several battles with the revolutionary armies of Jiangsu and Anhui.

Why did he suddenly go south now, and it came so quickly, Anhui is good to say that there is also a powerful faction like Bai Wenwei.

Huang Yiou ran all the way and explained all the way: "Originally, the peace between the north and the south was already on track, and now Yuan Shikai is also the president." Originally, it was good, but it was about to be peaceful, but Zhu Jiabao, the governor of Anhui, didn't know what Lu Dao was doing. A company under his command actually went to Xuzhou to rob a girl. ”

This time he stabbed the hornet's nest, Zhang Xun is known as a defense commander, and he is not interested in the revolution. This time, troops were immediately dispatched, and the Anhui First Division was caught off guard in Suzhou, and half of the entire division surrendered. In less than two days, Zhang Xun occupied Huaibei. ”

Yang Shuai was shocked, Zhang Xun was from the Beiyang faction, if there was no Yuan Shikai's consent, at least secretly instructed, Zhang Xun would not dare. This Yuan Shikai wanted to knock the party members in the south, because Yang Shuai heard that after the party went to the capital recently, they added a lot of blockages to Yuan Shikai.

As soon as he stepped in, he saw that Huang Xing was integrating a big man who looked like a mountain bandit was confronting. Yang Shuai was taken aback, this person was Zhang Daliang, a powerful faction in Nanjing, who had more than 30,000 troops, but in Nanjing, Huang Xing was unable to command this person.

I saw Zhang Daliang: "Keqiang, how can you tell me to move if I don't have money, let alone 10,000 people, I can't even move one person." As long as I have money, I won't say a word, just lead the troops to Bengbu and fight Zhang Xun to the death. But look at the present—" spread his hands out, expressing helplessness.

Huang Xing was furious in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about him. Suddenly, I saw Yang Shuai come in and said, "Zhaoyun, you're here." ”

Yang Shuai was shocked in his heart, and looking at Huang Xing's eyes made Yang Shuai feel shocked. This kind of look has been seen by Yang Shuai as early as Li Pingshu in Shanghai, you fuck want money.

Especially when Yang Shuai heard Zhang Daliang shouting about no money just now, Yang Shuai knew it in his heart. Suddenly, a wave of pathetic sympathy came to my heart, Huang Xingtang Xinhai three elders, who are now left behind in Nanjing, and a person who has done his best for the revolution, has actually mixed up to such a point.

Yang Shuai thought about it, instead of waiting for Huang Xing to speak, it was better to take the initiative himself. But Yang Shuai couldn't trust others anymore, and hurriedly put his legs together and gave a military salute: "I will stay behind the general, and the last general will hear that Zhang Xun has gone against the grain, betrayed the public opinion of the whole country, and attacked the Anhui Independent Army." The last general is willing to take the lead and serve the country, and the last general only needs 5,000 people, and Zhang Xun will be arrested and questioned. ”

As soon as Yang Shuai said this, he heard a cold snort: "Hmph, five thousand people? Don't think that you are invincible in the world after a few years of studying in a foreign school. Although the military discipline of the pigtail army is not good, it is an old Beiyang elite soldier, 5,000 people, hum. ”

Huang Xing had another measure in his heart, and he said in his heart that Zhang Daliang was not a loyal revolutionary. His own strength is not enough to fight him, so why not let Yang Shuai contain this person. Moreover, Yang Shuai has his own money, so he can solve the problem of sending troops and salaries for himself.

So regardless of Zhang Daliang's presence and tone, he immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, it's rare for Zhaoyun to understand righteousness so well." Then I will appoint you as the acting commander of the First Garrison Division of Nanjing. It just so happens that there are still thousands of soldiers and horses at the east gate of the city who have not left, you can recruit into the army, and at the same time I will give you an artillery company of the garrison. ”

Zhang Daliang suddenly shouted: "No." After subconsciously screaming, Zhang Daliang was also stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize that Huang Xing was here now. Zhang Dabiao can look down on Huang Xing and not take Huang Xing in his eyes, but he definitely doesn't dare to do anything openly.

There were not many artillery in Nanjing, although there was not a cronies of Zhang Daliang, but this was already meat in Zhang Daliang's eyes. At this time, when he heard that he was going to send out a company, he immediately refuted.

Zhang Daliang was embarrassed: "This, the left-behind lord, this artillery is really now, there is no way-"

Huang Xingyi waved his hand: "That's it." "If Huang Xing doesn't take advantage of the fact that he can still suppress Zhang Daliang now, he is afraid that it will be even more impossible in the future.

Yang Shuai was overjoyed, my mother, all of a sudden, there was a division, acting division commander, hahaha. Yang Shuai also knew that Huang Xing was trying to win him over against Zhang Daliang, and now he must have been hated by Zhang Daliang, but Yang Shuai was not afraid.

Zhang Daliang threw his hand away angrily, Huang Xing laughed, pulled Yang Shuai, and said: "Zhaoyun, this Zhang Xun is not like words, you must suppress it." Bai Wenwei is the patriarch of my alliance, and he is too difficult to work alone in Anhui. Mr. Sun sent two telegrams this morning asking for reinforcements from Nanjing, and at the same time they put pressure on Yuan Shikai in the capital. But if there is no initiative in the military, everything is in vain, alas, the revolution is in a hurry, we lack military talents, you are a graduate of the German military academy on the right track, I hope you don't let me down. ”

Yang Shuai felt sad for this revolution here, a group of enthusiastic and patriotic young people, young and old, for the sake of New China, it can be said that they shed their blood. But after all, there was a lack of system, and after the abdication of the Qing Dynasty, the whole situation was chaotic and beyond the control of Sun Wen and them.

This time to compromise with Yuan Shikai, on the one hand, it is really impossible to win militarily, and secondly, it is not without the factor of wanting to borrow Yuan Shikai's powerful Beiyang system to stabilize China.

Yang Shuai: "Yes, Mr. Keqiang, don't worry, I will do my best." But I have two requests. ”

Huang Xing: "Zhaoyun, this military salary-"

Yang Shuai: "Mr. Keqiang, I know that there is no money in Nanjing now, and I will pay all the military salaries." I want two people, Mr. Keqiang knows, I am alone. When he came back from Germany, he threw himself into the revolution and did not even return home. And I'm weak, this time against Zhang Xun, I hope Mr. Keqiang will give me two assistants. One is Yiou, and the other is Chen Guofu, who was Mr. Sun Wen's secretary at the beginning. ”

Needless to say, Huang Yiou saw it with his own eyes. This Chen Guofu and Yang Shuai are really for someone in Shanghai.

When Huang Xing heard this, he was surprised in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that Yang Shuai wanted this. But when I thought about it, I became more and more happy in my heart, the two people Yang Shuai took the initiative to ask for were both members of the revolutionary party, Huang Yiou was his son, and Chen Guofu was Chen Qimei's nephew. This shows that Yang Shuai does not have the style of a warlord, at least for now.

Huang Xing was overjoyed: "Okay, Guofu and Yiou, as well as Zhaoyun, are all young people, good, good." What about one more condition? ”

"I want guns, I collected more than 30,000 guns last time, and now there are about 8,000 guns left in Nanjing, I want them all."

Huang Xing was stunned, how could Yang Shuai be so familiar with this. Yang Shuai saw Huang Xing hesitating, and hurriedly: "Mr. Keqiang, you know that now you give me a division, but it is not within the establishment, the thousands of people in the east of the city are all stragglers, how many guns can there be." If you don't have a gun, you don't have to go to Huainan to fight Zhang Xun. ”

Huang Xing thought about it for a while, it made sense, so he waved his hand: "Okay, but Zhaoyun, you have to understand my difficulties here." Mr. Sun Wen just asked me to send troops, but he didn't understand my difficulties here, so I could only give you thirty rounds of ammunition per shot. That artillery battery was already my best effort. ”

Yang Shuai lowered his head, frowned and walked out, Yang Hua and the others hurriedly surrounded him: "Young master, what's the matter, how is it?" ”

Yang Shuai was thinking about how to fight this battle, and the thousands of people in the east of the city, I had heard of it, and most of them were soldiers from Hunan and Guangzhou. They are all routs that were withdrawn from the north some time ago, how can you bring such mourning soldiers.

Yang Hua asked, Yang Shuai: "It's nothing, just let me be the acting commander of the Nanjing First Division to support Anhui Bai Wenwei." ”

Zhang Qun shouted: "Division commander? Well, your life is good, I tried, yes. "Ignored by everyone.

Yang Shuai: "Yang Hua, you are the commander of the guard company, and Zhang Dabiao's dozens of people are all charged into the guard company, and I will take all these people away." ”

When he returned to the barracks, he said that Yang Shuai became the division commander and became a member of the guard company again. Zhang Dabiao and the others are all screaming, it's good to follow Yang Shuai these days.

Yang Shuai: "Let's go, let's go to the artillery company first and recruit them." ”
