1908 Far East Madman Chapter 125 The First Hero

At the door of the Temple of Nourishing Hearts. After scolding King Qing. Pu Wei carried a knife and was stopped by Xiao Dezhang, the chief eunuch who rushed out of the hall.

"King Gong. You're always at ease. That's King Qing. The Queen Mother is also inside. Don't be alarmed. Xiao Dezhang knelt. hugged Wei's leg

"You eunuch. Trick it or not. Opened his eyes for the Yuan thief. Also kill. Pu Wei swung his knife and slashed. But Xiao Dezhang is also quick to see the opportunity. Hurriedly rolled backwards. He crawled into the Heart Cultivation Palace. cried: "Queen Mother." King Gong wants to kill his minions."

Su Wangshan saw this. hurriedly rushed over and hugged Pu Wei. He shouted, "King Gong." Don't sprinkle here. This is Ouchi. It's not your Gongwang Mansion. ”

Zhenguo Gong Zaize also persuaded from the side. Take down the white knife. said: "Do our flag people have the ability to fight in the nest now?" Now Yuan Shikai is riding on our necks. We can't fight in the nest at this time. ”

Outside the hall, everyone stood aside. At this time, I also came back. Step forward. Persuasion of persuasion. Adding fuel to the fire adds fuel to the fire. The controversy was inextricable for a while.

"You want me to say. Yuan Shi is easy to deal with. Send a few assassins. Bring your jewels to the meeting. Hide a dagger close to your body. Quenched poison. met Yuan Shikai. Go with a knife. As a result of him. Didn't he want the national seal of our Great Qing Kingdom? Let's send him the national seal. Use as bait. "Don't be surprised. Baylor, who said this, was a Peking Opera friend. I've seen too much of the joke of "Jing Ke Assassinating Qin".

"It didn't work. Yuan Kai died. But Beiyang did not disperse. Duan Rui Guozhang. and that old fox Xu Shichang. None of these people are fuel-efficient lamps. Besides, the national seal of our Great Qing Dynasty is Manchu. Yuan Shikai definitely can't look down on it. Want me to say. Or wait for the king to return. Although his "500,000 Mongolian athletes" is a bit exaggerated, there are always more than 100,000 cavalry, waiting for the king to lead the troops to kill. Like snow. Arrows like locusts. Ting is still afraid of the North Ocean? Back then, tens of thousands of cavalry swept the world. Isn't fighting infantry like chopping melons and vegetables? "This Zhenguo Gong is a fan of storytelling, and often listens to "The Complete Biography of Yue".

"Talking nonsense. It was honest to transfer the patrol battalions of the northern provinces to Jingli no matter what. Stick to the capital first. One rì is one rì and then contact this Russia. Don't they want the Northeast? Let's take the Northeast and exchange foreign guns, foreign guns, foreign rice, and foreign noodles with them. "The prince is the prince after all. How much more reliable than the town of Baylor.

"The Northeast is long. How can it be sold to people? Besides. The patrol battalions were all transferred. Who's going to play, the noodles? Ignore it. When the time comes, the northern provinces will be in chaos, and the world will be corrupted, where will the source of food and soldiers come from? Tear down your palace and sell it? Yuan Shikai is still playing a loyal minister. If you push him, this jiān minister will jump off the wall in a hurry, "The other prince is more sober."

"As you wish. The imperial court surrendered. Is there no other way out? I think. There is not only "Han jiān" in this world. There is also "flag jiān". ”

“。 You are the flag jiān. Surrender? Even if you fall. Lao Tzu does not descend. The imperial court could not surrender. Dropped. What can we do with these five million flag people? Can't starve to death? Want me to say. The imperial court might as well move the capital. We can't go to the Northeast. But we can go to Mongolia. "Manmeng family". This has been shouted for more than 200 years. Can't shout in vain? ”

"To Mongolia? That's also the way to go. Now there are Beiyang troops everywhere. In case you encounter rebels along the way. What can you do to protect the emperor? ”

"It can be called rì himself, protected by the countrymen. Not really. Let's go to Moscow, Tokyo. Learn to apply for a package. Crying Qin Ting. Move the rescuers. No more. Let's gather all the bannermen in the capital. Chop wood for soldiers. I don't believe it. Our flag people are all waste snacks. I can't even find a few men who are not afraid of death. ”。

are disturbing. An old king staggered to the bottom of the imperial steps. I looked at the gray sky. Two cloudy tears came out of their eyes. "Tom" fell to his knees. Stretch out your arms. Ask the sky:

"Revolution. Revolution. A bunch of grass people. How dare you be so arrogant? More than 200 years of social education in the Qing Dynasty. Is that the end of it? ”

The sky is speechless. But the courtyard of the Forbidden City echoed with the shouts of the old prince. It seems that the answer is given:

"Grass people. Grass people. Arrogant. Arrogant. ”。

Just when the Forbidden City was in chaos. Far away in the state city by the Yangtze River. But it was a lot of laughter and songs. Men, women and children waved red flags. Lined up in the streets to cheer on the troops marching into the city. Quite a few people were still carrying baskets. Stuff the basket with all kinds of sweets and pastries into the soldier's hands.

The army that entered the city was in tatters. Lack of firearms. Quite a few soldiers still have braids. But. Morale is still high. The flags of the Liberation Society on the pole hunted in the wind. The bullet on it stands out.

This force was the remnants of the Anqing Rebel Army who had arrived from Anhui. The supreme commander is Xiong Chengji, the governor of the Chinese Liberation Army. After taking the initiative to abandon Qingcheng. Xiong Chengji led his troops to the north. In one fell swoop, conquered Luzhou in northern Anhui. But then he encountered the Qing army and the horse team of the Qing army from the north and south. Unable to continue to push north. Trapped in a lonely city for several rì. The Qing army of Anhui also came from the south under the command of Governor Zhu Jiabao, and the offensive and defensive battle of Luzhou began. After the two sides held each other for more than ten years. It ended because of the Beiyang Army mutiny planned by Yuan Shikai. , Yuan Shikai ordered a crusade against Chang Geng, the governor of Liangjiang, as the "regent". Zhu Jiabao and Jiang Guidi, the commander of the Yi Army, led the main force south to the east. The siege of the state was resolved. But Xiong Chengji's rebel army suffered too many losses. Food and grass are not continuous. Ammunition is scarce. It is no longer possible to expand the gains of the war. It was intended to advance eastward. Along the canal southward to reinforce Zhejiang. But on the way, he was intercepted by a messenger sent by the Liberation Society.

According to Tao Chengzhang's order, he turned to the west. Go to Hubei for a rest.

After more than ten arduous marches. When the remnants of this rebel army reached the border of Hubei. There are only more than 5,000 people left. Half of them were bare-handed. There are only two bullets per rifle on average. All the cannons were either destroyed or forced to abandon due to the lack of mules and horses. Arguable. At this time, if the Qing army launched another small-scale attack. This force is about to be wiped out.

Thankfully. This is Hubei. It is a province that is completely in the hands of the revolutionaries, and the situation here is the best. The sweep of the old forces was also the most thorough. Walk here. As long as the red flag is raised, it will be unhindered and ask the people for directions. It will also be to the right point. You can even buy it at a lower price.

When Xiong Chengji led his troops along the Yangtze River all the way west. When advancing to the outside of Qizhou City. The envoy sent by Zhao Bei, the governor of the Hubei Army, finally connected with this army, and the city of Qizhou became the temporary garrison of this Anhui uprising force. Military tents, food, medicines, blankets. All that should be required are also loaded by ship to the state and unloaded. This army will no longer have to advance to Wuhan.

Xiong Chengji rode on a horse. He looked at the people who welcomed him with joy. It was something he hadn't seen before. And not only himself. Even the soldiers below were suddenly shocked. The exhaustion all over their bodies disappeared immediately, as if they had returned victoriously.

Of course, the Governor of Xiong knew about this welcoming scene. The Republic's current affairs propaganda team almost a whole day and also rehearsed once. However, there is some acting flavor. But the actual effect is very good. At least it has restored some morale to this force. It is possible to walk to the barracks on your own.

The house is republican. The ranks of the Republican army have been ordered to withdraw from the city. Wild camping. The barracks were given to this heroic unit, which had no great achievements but made great contributions to the recovery of Hubei. Without them, they attracted the Qing army in An. The recovery of the north did not go so smoothly either. This. Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the Republican Army, knew it very well in his heart. So arranged. It's also a thanks. Of course. For the purpose of this troop coming. It is also necessary to inquire carefully. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Xiong Chengji is a hero. There are his ideals. Zhao is also a hero. There are also his ideals. Heroes with ideals can't stay together. At least not for long periods of time.

Got to the barracks. There are IRA liaison officers waiting. The leader Xiong Chengji also knows. It was Zhang Jiyang. General Representative of the Republican Army's Current Affairs Speaker.

"I represent the Hubei Provincial Army,. Welcome Xiong Dudu to Qizhou. Zhang Jiyang saluted Xiong Chengji. Said loudly.

"Stone Man. I didn't expect you to greet me. Chengji was surprised. Take two steps. gave Zhang Jiyang a bear hug.

"Governor Xiong. You've lost a lot of weight. Zhang Jiyang took off the round-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Wiped the corners of his eyes.

"The Commander-in-Chief has asked me to extend your warmest welcome to you on his behalf. Thank you as well. Without you. Hubei will not be able to recover so smoothly. Du Du was the first hero of the revolution. The commander-in-chief wanted to come and greet him personally. But it's busy. I really can't get out of it. I had to be ordered to come. Bring a confidant to Governor Xiong. ”

"Zhenhua really lived up to the trust of his comrades. The revolutionary situation is now like a prairie fire. His credit is greatest. It was at the beginning of listening to my order to return to Anqing. Maybe you won't be able to take Hubei. He was the first hero of the revolution. Xiong Chengji took the letter handed over by Zhang Jiyang. Take it apart and read it carefully. The excitement on his face became more and more obvious.

The letter says. You brought two thousand rifles? Xiong Chengji asked, pointing to the letter.

Zhang Jiyang nodded. Said: "Fifteen hundred shots are rì made of gold hook rifles. 500 strokes are "made in Hanyang". Each gun is equipped with 500 bullets. Furthermore. There are also two off guns. Two mortars. Now the Hanyang Arsenal has just resumed work. The yield is not high. Even the revolutionary army in Hubei did not shoot a single shot. These guns were still made up by Commander Zhao. ”

Xiong Chengji sighed: "It's difficult to start a business. It's harder to keep your business. At the beginning of the uprising, we always thought that we would just start with the uprising. The world will surely look to the wind and shadow. Jiangnan is determined. But now it seems. Courage alone is not enough. There is no barrel of a gun. Nothing can be done. It's still Zhenhua's right view. Take Wuhan. It is equivalent to taking a revolutionary factory. Steel rifle gunpowder explosives. You don't have to snort. ”

Zhang Jiyang and Xiong Chengji sighed for a while. The two walked around the barracks a few times. Settle the soldiers. Xiong Chengji walked out of the barracks with Zhang Jiyang again. Put Zhao Bei's letter into the pocket of the military suit. Asked, "Stone Man." When are you going back to Wuhan? ”

Zhang Jiyang said: "Settle down your army. I returned to Wu, and now I am the head of the Political Propaganda Committee. There are also many things. It's too busy. After I'm gone. Another liaison contacted Governor Xiong. ”

"You're going by boat?"

"Sit on the gun."

"That's good. When you go - I scream. I'll go with you. Xiong Chengji patted Zhang Jiyang's shoulder.

"I haven't seen Zhenhua's face for a while. I'm going to meet him. Say a few words to him. Also, take a look at the iron works and factories in Hanyang. The reason why our China is not strong. It's because the industry is too weak. and so on for the success of the revolution. I resigned. Go to those factories in Hanyang to do business. Even if it's a co-worker. Let's use our own hands. Knock knock knock. Make this weak country stronger. ”
