At the end of summer, the time for jade to give birth finally arrived, and the person was taken to the church hospital early. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSince the delivery date has been determined, the hospital is well prepared, and all the experienced staff are dispatched. But Cuiyu, who was a mother for the first time, turned pale with nervousness, and pulled Zhao Guanhou to prevent her from leaving. She has always been knowledgeable, and finally she is rare to be willful.

"Don't ...... Please don't go, stay with me, even if I die, I want you to watch me die. I have a feeling that I will die, and I am afraid that I will not see you when I die...... I want you to talk to me...... I want you to hold my hand. ”

"Don't worry, people don't die so easily, you can't die with me." Zhao Guanhou patted her hand, comforted her attentively, and instructed the doctors in the hospital, "Please ensure that the production goes smoothly, and the official will prepare another hundred taels of gold, which will be specially rewarded." ”

Yuqing had returned to Jinan from the capital at this time, she had the experience of dystocia, knew how painful the process was, and also pulled the doctor and said: "As long as you keep the adults and children fine, I will give you a handwritten ...... by Cai Yuanchang."

The door of the delivery room was closed, Zhao Guanhou changed into a white coat and walked in, and as the door closed, Yuqing's heart also rose to his throat. She is at home, the only woman who is not really jealous is Cuiyu, the emotions between the two are very complicated, and her level of worry at this time is actually not weaker than Zhao Guanhou.

When she came to the courtyard and looked at the bright moon in the sky, she couldn't help but put her hands together and prayed silently: God bless, bless the safety of Cuiyu's mother and son, and bless me with peace in the world......

There was peace in the hospital, but in another city, under the moonlight, it was a cruel scene. The sound of gunfire, tearing and killing, stirring through the city, bloodshed and death, charging and defending, shouting and killing made the voices of both sides become hoarse.

Former comrades, today's enemies, each other, are doing everything in their power to kill their opponents. Zhang Biao, the commander of the Eighth Town of the New Army guarding Wuhan and nicknamed Aunt Ya, wiped the sweat from his forehead, anxiously looked at the more and more attackers outside the yamen, and scolded.

"It's all Rui Zheng's fault, if he hadn't drilled the dog hole first, the battle wouldn't have been like this!" Zhang Biao roared angrily, but this roar had no meaning. , as the governor of Huguang, who is responsible for defending the land, has dug a dog hole and fled to the Chuyu military ship with his family, and he can't find someone to be angry.

Originally, Ge Ming's actions could only be regarded as a mess. The funds came from the fraud comrades, who smoked and entered the egg fried workshop, which led to the explosion of the egg fried workshop, the parties fled, and the roster flags fell into the hands of the government. How do you look at this, how can it be the beginning of the government's great victory, who knows, it will evolve like this.

Rui Zheng's escape had a very bad impact. He was nominally the highest military administrator in Huguang, and as soon as he fled, the troops in Wuchang City either stood still or left in a fight. Wuchang City, which is stationed with nearly 10,000 troops, is no match for Ge Ming's army, which has few guns and ammunition and no heavy artillery, which is simply unimaginable.

The coaching team of the Governor's Palace was the first to escape, and the Banner Regiment was wiped out, and the only soldiers that Zhang Biao could control were a small number of guards himself. The other troops who rushed to help in the battle, because they had no governor to command, had low morale and were defeated in the first battle, and some simply held the barracks to protect their stations, and took a neutral attitude towards the fighting.

On the contrary, the strength of Ge Ming's army is fighting more and more, and Ge Ming's army is only more than 2,000 people at first, and most of them have a wait-and-see attitude. If they had been suppressed by a large number of soldiers as soon as they came up, most of them would have been scattered and defeated by now.

But now, not only has the position of these people become firmer, but the students of the army primary school and scattered soldiers in the city have gradually joined the war group, and the strength has become stronger and stronger. The guns were getting more and more urgent, and it seemed that they had been resupplied with ammunition, which was definitely bad news for the defenders.

In order to prevent the new army from changing, the guns and ammunition of the new army were separated, and the ammunition was concentrated in large warehouses and kept by the troops they trusted. Now these warehouses are estimated to have been lost, and the strength of Ge Ming's army has increased.

Zhang Biao knew that although Wuhan was a place of four wars, it was not easy to attack but not to defend, and it was not the first choice for the uprising. However, after Zhang Xiangtao's hard work, Wuhan has some savings.

Hubei's financial deposits totaled more than 40 million yuan, and there were a large number of scrapped copper cannons in the arsenal, which could be used to mint copper dollars. In addition, there are more than 20,000 foreign guns from Prussia and Fuso, and tens of thousands of homemade rifles from the Hanyang Arsenal. If you retreat by yourself, won't all these things fall into the hands of Ge Ming's party?

Although he is a Han Chinese, he is loyal to Wanyan, and his old proposition that Xiangtao was angry to death has never shaken his loyalty. When he was in a desperate situation, he also had the heart of martyrdom, holding a revolver while shooting, while shouting angrily, "Resist!" Resist it all for me! When dawn comes, as soon as our sailors arrive, they will bombard them with naval guns, and none of these chaotic parties will survive! ”

"Guanhou!" Cuiyu let out a painful scream, beads of sweat the size of soybeans covered her forehead, and the nervous Zhao Guanhou wiped her face repeatedly with a handkerchief.

"Hold on!" Zhang Biao's knife slashed at a rushing Ge Mingjun, who was a sentry officer and Zhang Biao's favorite general. single-handedly promoted him from a soldier to the position of a sentinel, but he didn't expect it to end like this today.

"Guanhou...... The little one must be kept, it's a son...... Your son ......," Jade begged with the last of her strength. Zhao Guanhou had already given an order to the doctor next to him: "Keep the big but not the small!" I want you to keep your lordship, otherwise I will die regardless of whether you are a foreigner or not! ”

"Defend the governor's yamen, otherwise no one will survive!" Zhang Biao shouted at his guards, even though he had suffered heavy casualties, he still fought to the death. The outer wall had been lost, and he changed to the inside of the palace, taking advantage of the complex terrain of the governor's yamen to deal with the intruders.

One rebel soldier after another, drinking hatred under his sword. Some of them are his favorite generals, some are familiar faces, and some are ...... He didn't bother to see who was who, and his only reaction was to swing his knife...... Swing a knife.

"Send a telegram to Shandong, send a telegram to Zhao Guanshuai, and ask for the second association of the fifth town, anyone can come." After Zhang Biao slashed another enemy, he was also exhausted, panting violently with a knife, and his body trembled slightly, obviously a manifestation of excessive force.

A cronie ran over, "Junmen, Madame has withdrawn to the warship, let us pass the word, if you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will defend, and if you can't go...... Leave a breath of vitality for the ...... in the future."

"Coming to Japan...... Tomorrow...... How can there be anything to come to the Dajin country! Zhang Biao let out a long sigh, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the person had already fainted.

It's dawn!

Facing the sunshine of the rising sun, the Yellow Dragon Flag was lowered, and a five-color flag was raised at the head of Wuhan. This is not the first time that the five-color flag has been hung, but every time it was hung in the past, it must fall once, and it will not be long before it will be replaced by the Yellow Dragon Flag. This time, I don't know how long it will last, the Yellow Dragon Flag, how long it will take to come back.

As the sun rose, a baby's cry rang out violently. The dean wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with relief: "God bless, mother and child are safe." O great and merciful Lord, bless them from sickness, pain, and calamity......"

In the ward, Zhao Guanhou's handkerchief gently wiped on Cuiyu's face, "What are you crying about, our future is still long, this child, what should we call him?" Call him an iron egg, or he will be stunned ......"

Jade, who had been closed from the ghost gate, was very weak, and her face was ugly. But he still squeezed a smile, "Don't ...... Don't mess with your child's name. Bring my son over and I'll take a look. ”

"That little thing is ugly now, there's nothing to see, you go to sleep, I'll make you some porridge."

Cuiyu wanted to shake her head, but she didn't have the strength, so she only stopped, "You still have business in the yamen, don't delay me too much." ”

"It doesn't matter to you what business it is, my good wife, you go to sleep obediently, I'll make porridge for you."

The door of the ward was pushed open suddenly, and Yuqing ran in with a pale face, "Hubei emergency telegram, Ge Ming's party rebelled in Wuchang, the city was lost, the governor Rui Zheng fled to the warship, and the commander Zhang Biao was taken into the Fusang embassy by his subordinates. The dragons in Hubei are leaderless, and the whole province may not be able to protect them. ”

Zhao Guanhou was stunned, and then as if nothing had happened, he smiled, "Wuhan lost?" Throw it away, it's not about me. I calculate, I am the governor of Shandong, Huguang is not under my control, there is a Henan in the middle, and I will not be able to beat it for a while, so it has nothing to do with me. Come, let's boil porridge for Cuiyu together, and even take a look at the little ones. This naughty bag, born to toss his mother half to death, I wait for him to grow up, I have to beat him up......"

Listening to the sound gradually fade away, Cuiyu's heart was warm and sweet, and she gently called "Guanhou ......" with a smile and fell asleep.

The situation in Hubei deteriorated much faster than Zhao Guanhou imagined, and soon after the fall of Wuhan, Hanyang and Hankou were lost one after another, and the three towns of Wuhan all fell into the hands of Ge Mingjun. Ge Mingjun took Wuhan as the foundation, used official funds as military salaries, and ordnance as capital, and began to expand the army on the spot.

In the city of Wuchang, the Ge Ming army has been set up, and the governor of the capital is the 21st mixed association commander Li Huangpo, who is known for his generosity and benevolence in the army, and is the famous Li Bodhisattva, laughing Arhat. As soon as he took power, many people in the new army, which originally had a watch-and-see attitude, were willing to do it anyway, and Ge Mingjun's momentum was strong.

In Beijing and Tianjin, newspapers of all sizes are in full swing, and regardless of whether they have sent interviewers in Huguang or not, they all claim to have exclusive information and the real situation. Special issues, supplements, and extras emerge in an endless stream.

For example, Bai Siwen, a good young man who was newly hired by a newspaper to study abroad and had achieved academic success, used four pages in the newspaper to introduce the stories of the large and small Qing buildings in Wuhan, the red people, and their relationship with this uprising, and the rebel generals......

Within the Tianjin Concession, after Li Lianying read the newspaper, he shook his head and called the housekeeper beside him. "Go buy a ticket, let's go to Shandong."

"Master, go to Shandong...... Why bother? We are in the concession, even if there is a disturbance in the party, they don't dare to come to the concession, do they? ”

"Don't say it's too dead, the tree is very popular, my reputation is here, I don't know how many monkey cubs are worried about my savings, I'd rather fill the city gate, not plug the sea eye, to Shandong, it's still a way out, stay in Jinmen, it's not safe."

"Can this gang of Ge Ming Party really become a climate? It's just that the three towns were trapped, and Hong Yang was ...... at that time."

"Don't compare to Hong Yang. Long hair is not a climate, there is nothing to be afraid of, these Ge Ming parties are much more powerful than them. How many people in Tianjin are singing civilized operas, how many are shouting for constitutionalism, and even in the concession, you can see their leaflets, do you have such a big movement when you see Hong Yang? I'm not blind in my old eyes, and I can still see the situation. The imperial court is now Wu Dalang eating arsenic, eating it is death, and not eating it is death. If you use the flag man to take command, you will suffer a loss now, and if you use the Han people to take command, you will end up in the future. Lafayette has worked hard all his life, how can she ...... so quickly when she is gone, this country?"

The housekeeper obeyed the order and withdrew to prepare, Li Lianying looked at the house, and naturally thought of Zhao Guanhou, "Under the whole world, that is, Shandong, there is still hope to be stable." I hope you can keep my old bones, and I hope you can keep your inheritance. Dajin Country, it's over. ”

In the cabinet, all the members had serious faces, and Cheng Ze held a newspaper in his hand, and his face turned blue with anger. "Is this still our Daikin newspaper? No matter how it is published, it is all news that supports the chaotic party. Besides, it's all nonsense, it's obviously a gang of chaotic parties making trouble, how did you do it, as if the court had been defeated, isn't this a lie? Come on, seal it up for me! ”

King Qing sneered: "Duke Ze, you first dissipate your anger and close a newspaper, but it is just a matter of Gu Jian." But does it work? Our police checked the newspaper yesterday, and guess what, the newspaper simply opened a full-page skylight and wrote only one line, and this newspaper has a large number of real news about the Wuchang battlefield, which cannot be published due to the intervention of the police investigation. Tell me, wouldn't it be even more chaotic if someone were sent down to investigate like this? ”

"That can't be written nonsense!" As soon as Cheng Ze heard this, he suddenly felt that he had nowhere to go, so he had to find a scene by himself, "I have to talk to Shanyi, let his police investigate and deal with the newspaper, and say what he knows, don't say what he doesn't know." ”

This is equivalent to not saying anything, and the situation has not eased at all, and the others are still looking at the regent Chengfeng, waiting for him, the prison country, to make an idea.

Cheng Feng glanced at everyone, and his gaze fell on King Qing. He has also heard about the clan fund, and he also knows that many clans are involved, and because of this fund, King Qing's status in the clan has increased a lot. There are also people who go to pick up cheap prices and buy antiques, calligraphy and paintings and properties sold in Qingwangfu.

This kind of behavior is quite suspected of shaking the morale of the military, and the direct evidence is that as soon as the newspapers in the capital saw the news, there were already people from the clan who were looking for an excuse to leave Beijing and go to Shandong to avoid the limelight. Flee before fighting, how can you win a battle with such morale.

But he can't quarrel with King Qing now. The latter is an old man, how can you quarrel in the face of such fritters?

Cheng Feng snorted angrily: "Uncle Qing, now it's the Cabinet of Responsibility, do you know what the Cabinet of Responsibility is?" It is all of us who are responsible for the development of the country, whether it is good or bad, we all have a share. If there is something wrong with the country, we cannot shirk the responsibility on our shoulders. Tell me, what are we going to do now that something like this has happened? ”

"What are you afraid of, there are soldiers."

King Qing only muttered, as if answering the question and seemed to be talking to himself, this is Chengfeng's words that killed Zhang Xiangtao at the beginning, and now it falls on himself, making Chengfeng's eyes dark, and his ribs hurt a little.

"Uncle Qing, who do you think should be in charge?"

"I don't know, isn't the seventh child idle? Or would he come? There is a shortage of those who can fight, and the rest either can't leave, or they have to defend the capital. My old bones definitely can't lead soldiers, I think Lao Qi is young and strong, just right. ”

Cheng Tao looked at King Qing and wanted to get angry, but in the end he only swallowed his saliva, "I...... I've got to it, I don't have that time......" He looked at his brother again, and suddenly said:

"Yin Wulou is in Beijing, right? Let him go. He had the best relationship with the Prussian Emperor, and when the time came, let him send a telegram to Prussia, asking Prussia to send a troop, and we would borrow the help of the division to suppress and destroy the Geming Party. It's a big deal to supplement the military expenses of foreigners, which is better than our own efforts. ”

Although Chengfeng did not agree with the idea of borrowing foreign soldiers, it was necessary to use a large army to destroy the southern army, and it was not feasible to hand over a large army to the Han people. The first person who can fight in the banner man is Ryosuke, but he wants to defend the capital and can't use it, so only Yin Sheng is left.

He nodded, "I think Cheng Tao's method is very good, come here, bring Yin Sheng." (To be continued.) )
