Chapter Eighty-Three: Roll up and run away

In the second year of the Republic of China, in May, a powerful transportation company appeared on the Huangpu River in Shanghai, and it is said that the boss was actually a woman. At the same time, those who are interested will find that the Cao Gang, which has been entrenched in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River for many years, disappeared overnight. This transport company has a huge number of personnel, but the equipment is backward, and foreign companies are basically not eye-catching, until three months later, the transport company actually opened its own shipyard, and sixteen small steamers of 100 tons appeared in this company, foreigners were afraid, but they could not stop the rise of this transport company.

It has been a month since the outbreak of the Second Revolution. In the past month, Yang Shuai urged all parties more than once, hoping to open up the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and take Hubei, so as to wait for the attack of the Beiyang Army. Unfortunately, even the most promising Huang Xing, with an army of 20,000 people, was completely blocked in Jiujiang, and at the same time, the rear supply line was detained by Hu Wantai in Anqing with a large number of supplies.

Yang Shuai was in Qingpu, regardless of civil affairs, and all of them were handed over to the original group of people, but because of the stationing of Yang Shuai's army, Qingpu was safe and secure for a while.

"The Beiyang Army hasn't had time to fight yet, it can't take a single Jiujiang fortress, and there is such a thing as Anqing, it's strange that such a revolution can succeed." In the headquarters of the garrison regiment in this town of Qingpu County, Yang Shuai stood in front of the window and said slowly.

Then he turned around and said to Yang Hua: "Go and call that kid Lu Guoquan over." ”

Lu Guoquan is now the only battalion commander-level figure in the garrison regiment, and soon ran to Yang Shuai: "Report to the regiment commander, Lu Guoquan of the first battalion of the garrison regiment reports." ”

Yang Shuai smiled, Lu Guoquan was born a soldier and was very talented.

"Guoquan, there is no one else here."

Lu Guoquan smiled and put down his hand: "Hehe, head of the regiment, this is the rule, hehe, what task does the head of the regiment tell me to do?" ”

Yang Shuai smiled helplessly: "Guoquan, I want to ask you, if the revolution fails, what are your plans?" ”

Lu Guoquan was stunned, he had never thought about this question, how could the revolution fail? What to do?

"Commander? How could the revolution fail, now that we have recovered all the provinces in the south, Mr. Sun Wen has already concentrated 500,000 troops and is about to attack often, how can it fail? ”

When Yang Shuai heard this, he laughed, laughed so much that tears almost came out, and pointed at Lu Guoquan: "Have you read the newspaper?" You read the newspaper, ha ”

Yang Shuai's state shocked Lu Guoquan, and he clearly saw the place of the troops.

Yang Shuai: "Guoquan, you have to learn to think about problems with your heart, not just rely on what others say." Hehe, anyway, if it fails, what are you going to do? ”

Lu Guoquan stepped forward firmly: "Commander, I want to follow you, I will go wherever you go?" ”

Yang Shuai shook his head, this is not what he wants to see, it's not that Yang Shuai doesn't want loyal subordinates, it's just that he knows better than anyone that the second revolution failed, and their gang, people who are a little famous, have no other way but to escape.

"Guoquan, I'm glad you can say that. But if the revolution fails, I will not be let go by the north, especially a few days ago when I drove out a few lobbyists in the north in public. I'm afraid that I'm going to go to Japan too, so I can't take you with me, no one can, and you have to take care of your future. ”

"Guoquan, I want you to go to Baoding Military Academy, do you remember?"

Lu Guoquan was both shocked and moved at this time, and he was moved by Yang Shuai's care for him.

"Commander—"

"Guoquan, you can't even see clearly what the general trend of the revolution is, that's why you haven't gone to a military academy on the right track, so I hope you can get a proper education, you are a gifted person. Moreover, we are all fellow countrymen, I support you, and now I will write you a private letter of recommendation. You don't rush to refuse, you keep it, and one day, things are really as I said, fail, you go to the north under a pseudonym, to Baoding. ”

The truth of the matter is just as Yang Shuai expected. The original vigorous Second Revolution began to break out, and Yuan Datou was still a little worried, but as half a month passed, the Southern Army did not go north at all, and was completely consumed in the southern provinces. Yuan Datou immediately changed his mind to quickly quell the rebellion, and instead ordered the army to proceed slowly.

Yuan Datou also said happily: "Time, the more time I give, the more time I will have, the more they will not be able to accept it." At the same time, how I hope that the Kuomintang will fight Hubei, Li Yuanhong, is not a good thing. ”

As long as it is not a Beiyang series, in Yuan Datou's view, of course, it is not a good thing.

Half a month, a month. Yuan Datou, who had already clenched his fists tightly, finally went berserk, and ordered Duan Qirui to be the general of the expedition to the south, with more than 100,000 horses and horses with Zhang Xunwu's guard army and the three elite divisions of Beiyang as the main force, divided into three armies and rushed straight to the south.

Zhang Xun went straight to Nanjing, and the left army Wu Peifu and Su Chang Erzhou tried to cut off the connection between Shanghai and Nanjing, and Zhang Zhenfang and Ni Sichong attacked Anhui with a large army. At the same time, Lu Yongxiang in Suzhou, Cao Kun in Hunan and other places also swooped down on the provinces and counties that declared independence.

Yang Shuai was far away in Qingpu, he could feel the smoke of the war, and at this time, Yang Shuai no longer had any illusions of letting the revolution win, and the only thing he wanted to do now was how to protect more revolutionary soldiers in the south. The revolutionaries of the South, whose ideology is closest to the trend of the West, are a powerful resource for China's progress at the moment, and they cannot be allowed to make too many sacrifices in this absurd uprising.

Time is now, Yang Shuai is now, it seems that he is no longer the simple Yang Shuai before, the revolution is not revolutionary or something, Yang Shuai is not so positional, in his opinion, who can make the society stable, who can make the people live a good life, who is the master and who is the **.

It can be said that his political beliefs are based on the people of the world, not a matter of shouting a few empty slogans.

"The second revolution will be defeated, but if the president wants to destroy the world's dissidents, he still accommodates all rivers."

Whenever something big happens, this "Yun Zao" will come out and publish an amazing report. At this time, Yuan Datou had just ordered an all-out war, and many newspapers, including the Shanghai Huabao, published the article almost simultaneously.

The article undoubtedly concluded that the Kuomintang would be defeated. And the focus of the discussion in the article is whether Yuan Datou will go on a killing spree, after the counterinsurgency, whether to kill, or only chase the main leader, whether he uses this ** as a name to exclude dissidents, and so on.

Then some newspapers immediately followed the report, condemning the "Hua Pao", saying how could the president be such a tyrannical person. However, there is no doubt that the "Hua Pao" said, "Wait and see, when the revolution fails, it will be the day when the blood will be shed." A certain body of public opinion has its own opinions, and Yang Shuai can only helplessly say that this is all he can do, as for whether he can let fewer people be killed, it depends on the will of God.

Negative, this time, Yang Shuai is extremely negative. He no longer frequently gave Nanjing all kinds of advice, nor did he actively prepare for anything. On the contrary, we made all kinds of preparations for escape and personnel arrangements. First of all, it was a letter of recommendation from Lu Guoquan, and then a small group of villagers from the Liangguang area who had been proposed by Lu Guoquan, and Yang Shuai recommended them to Pudong's own industry.

At this time, on May 17 of the second year of the Republic of China, Yang Hua rushed in.

"Regiment leader, Suzhou is over, Yan Kuan and Zheng Liyun have placed Officer Jiang under house arrest, and the independence has been canceled by electricity, and Lu Yongxiang has entered Suzhou City."

Yang Shuai was shocked and calm, these two people would surrender, it was too normal. From the very beginning, these two people had the idea of speculation, and now they see that the south can't hold on, and it's too late if they don't surrender.

Yang Shuai: "Suzhou surrendered, the Beiyang Army will soon arrive in Shanghai, Chen Yingshi, hum, it's not that I underestimate him, if he doesn't care about the direction of the sea, let Yuan Datou use a warship to transport troops, he can't carry it for a day." Someone came, and sent a letter to the governor of the three towns. Then Yang Shuai left an envelope alone.

Yang Hua: "Commander, what did you write for them?" ”

"As soon as the enemy arrives, surrender."

"Ah——?h

Yang Shuai: "And then—I'll run away with you." ”

"Young Master, where are we going?"

"Okay, you're a hero, the title becomes fast. Let's go - the Philippines. "The Philippines, a British colony, a place where there are countless Chinese.
