Wang Dongcheng went out of Sichuan according to Qiao Yu's order, and went straight to Wuchang, Li Yuanhong had already been reported, at this time Li Yuanhong was angry, originally after the first uprising in Wuchang, Li Yuanhong strongly advocated convening a joint meeting of the provinces in Wuchang, establishing a political axe, and confronting the Manchus.

There is no doubt that if the Republic of China can be established in Wuchang, Li Yuanhong's benefits are too great, who knows that Jiangsu and Zhejiang came out at this time, Chen Qimei, Cheng Dequan and others played a trick, and took the lead in holding a meeting of provincial representatives in Shanghai, although the meeting still recognized the central position of Wuchang, but elected a lot of central officials, ministers, and Li Yuanhong's position was embarrassing.

Moreover, Chen Qimei also sent electricity overseas, and urged Sun Wen to return to govern and establish a political axe, and then Hankou and Hanyang were lost, which was also a blow to Li Yuanhong's prestige, but at this time, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang armies defeated Zhang Xun and captured the city of Nanjing, and Nanjing naturally became the political center of the southern provinces, and the representatives of the provinces went straight to Nanjing.

Seeing that the central power in his hand fell into the hands of others like this, Li Yuanhong was depressed, as soon as he heard that Sichuan sent Finance Minister Wang Dongcheng out of Sichuan, Li Yuanhong suddenly had an idea, Sichuan and Wuhan are the first two provinces to read, Sichuan has not made its own voice due to serious civil strife, but now that Sichuan has been unified, if the two provinces of Sichuan and Hubei can be united, the influence is absolutely unparalleled.

Officially based on this consideration, Li Yuanhong personally went to Wuchang City to greet Wang Dongcheng, and Li Yuanhong walked a few steps away from him, and grabbed Wang Dongcheng, which was extremely cordial.

"Minister Wang was able to come out of Sichuan and Hubei, Li was ecstatic!"

"Li Dudu is too polite, you are the first righteous hero, the world looks up, originally Qiao Dudu was going to come to see you in person, but you also know that there are a lot of troubles in Sichuan, and the Sichuan side is not quiet, so I can only do it for me, and Li Du is not strange in terms of rudeness!"

"How can I be, how can I be very happy to see Brother Wang, the earliest uprising in Sichuan, Qiao Yu and Wuchang have announced that they are also heroes of the revolution, this is the glory of our two provinces!"

The two of them joined hands and entered Wuchang together, although Hanyang was still in the hands of the Beiyang Army at this time, but the two sides had reached a peace agreement and did not invade each other, so Wuchang was also very safe, Li Yuanhong has been reluctant to let go of Wang Dongcheng's hand, Wang Dongcheng is also an old Jianghu, knowing that this Li Du is afraid that he has a request for himself, so he also pays great attention to Li Yuanhong's every move.

Surrounded by Wuchang officials, Li Yuanhong and Wang Dongcheng sat opposite each other, Li Yuanhong first smiled and asked: "Qiao Dudu is good, Mr. Qiao is good, I think I went to Yanjing to report and saw Mr. Qiao, I didn't expect that Qiao Lao is not only generous, but also the son is also like this, what a blessed person!" ”

"It's all good, I went out of Sichuan this time to take on a heavy responsibility, presumably Li Du also knows that the reunification of Sichuan is not smooth, there is a revolutionary party to make trouble, and there is an intervention by the Dian army outside, otherwise we would have cooperated with Li Du a long time ago! Now that the administrative center of gravity has fallen to Nanjing, those of us who were early revolutionaries are not as good as those who are late revolutionaries! ”

Wang Dongcheng took the initiative to mention this topic, and Li Yuanhong stopped going around in circles, and slapped his thigh vigorously: "Minister Wang, I have heard about the situation in Sichuan for a long time, Qiao Dudu did too right, but it's a pity that I, Li someone, didn't have that ability, otherwise I would have blown them away a long time ago, these people can't fight, you see Huang Xing's big reputation, it turned out to be a rice bucket, if you can't win, you know how to run, and now you have run to Nanjing, seizing power and grabbing classes is skillful, and the real heroes are put aside!" ”

From the words, I heard Li Yuanhong's monstrous anger, it seems that this Li Bodhisattva is also really angry, Wang Dongcheng smiled slightly: "Whoever Li Governor should be is who, this time I also have a mission is to soon form a political axe, establish a constitution, and elect a president, these things are all major things related to the fundamental affairs of a country, we can't let them do nonsense!" Aren't they flaunting the open cooking, aren't they flaunting the legal system! We will fight them with their rules! ”

How shrewd Li Yuanhong is, Wang Dongcheng deliberately led him to his words, he was not testing Sichuan's meaning, Wang Dongcheng said this is undoubtedly saying that Sichuan is going to fight for its own status, and Li Yuanhong also found an opportunity for cooperation.

"Minister Wang's words are thought-provoking, yes, it is no longer the Qing Dynasty, everything must follow the will of the people, but even if our two provinces are united, they are a little weak!"

Wang Dongcheng laughed: "Li Du, you see that our power is weak, but how much stronger can the other party be, after I arrive in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I will contact the Constitutional Party, as long as I can win them over, the revolutionary party can still turn the sky upside down!" ”

At this time, Li Yuanhong suddenly realized that most of the Sichuan political axes were from wealthy businessmen, and they were natural allies with the Constitutional Party, although there were internal contradictions, but they could definitely cooperate for the common interests, as long as they got the support of the Constitutional Party, they could win over those wavering provinces, so that the big thing could be decided!

"Haha, Governor Qiao, Minister Wang is strategic, Li will definitely support it!"

"Li Du is polite, no matter when you are the first father, the future president, this will not change!"

This is Sichuan's statement that it wants to support its own ascension, and Li Yuanhong is even more overjoyed: "I didn't say it, the southwest will depend on Qiao Dudu to maintain it in the future!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, reached an exchange of interests, and then Wang Dongcheng said: "Li Du, the Sichuan-Han Railway is Sichuan, where the hope of the people lies, Qiao Dudu will continue to build the Sichuan-Han Railway now, and please Li Du can cooperate with the construction of this section of Hubei, when the two provinces of Sichuan and Hubei will be connected, and economic and trade exchanges can also be smooth, which is a good thing for both provinces!" ”

Li Yuanhong also knew the value of the railway, so he nodded in agreement, Wang Dongcheng and Li Yuanhong talked freely for a while, then said goodbye to Li Yuanhong, and prepared to leave Wuchang after a short rest, and went straight to Nanjing, but at this time someone came to visit.

The person who came was Yu Peilun, although Yu Peilun was driven out of Sichuan, but nominally he was still the deputy governor of Sichuan, Wang Dongcheng couldn't be seen, so he took Yu Peilun into the guest room, the two were not separated for less than a month, and at this time Yu Peilun seemed to be more than ten years old, and there were silver threads on his sideburns, which looked extremely dazzling Wang Dongcheng was not very comfortable when he saw this, Yu Peilun was still good at treating things, and he was a real hot-blooded revolutionary, so Wang Dongcheng's tone was also very polite.

"Is there anything going on with Yu Dudu?"

Since Yu Peilun went out of Sichuan and arrived in Hubei, Huang Xing has already run to Nanjing, and the war is over, and the thousands of Hubei soldiers under him are suddenly no one to care, Qiao Yu promised to give him 2 million yuan, and 15,000 rifles, but now only 100,000 yuan has been given, barely enough for the Hubei army's salary, and there is no more, and Li Yuanhong is also a dime, which does not worry Yu Peilun.

"Minister Wang, when will the materials promised by Qiao Dudu arrive? Now thousands of people are waiting? ”

"Yu Dudu, those materials are for all the people's army, and now it is Hubei people who are out of Sichuan, and they should have the burden of Hubei, and our materials have been allocated to the people's army in Sichuan for training!"

Yu Peilun's face suddenly turned even paler, his brows tightened, and he pointed at Wang Dongcheng with his finger: "How can you act like this, there is no credibility to talk about, how did I, Yu Yunji, know such a villain as Qiao Yu!" ”

"Deputy Governor Yu, as soon as you enter Sichuan, you will seize power and gather troops everywhere, Sichuan is our unification, are you called a villain? Qiao Dudu just sent you out of Sichuan, unscathed, which is already considered merciful, Deputy Governor Yu, you don't want to get an inch! ”
