Chapter 64: Your Generation Is Old
"Boat boss, I'll give you more money ()! Don't go to Hankou, go straight to Liujia Temple. ”
The rumbling cannon sound in the distance made Jiang Yiwu's mouth blister, after Xiaochao Street was chased and killed on the night of the 9th, he was so frightened that he fled by boat overnight, but the boat was only halfway to hear that Wuchang had revolted, and the whole Wuchang City was rumbling, and he immediately stomped his feet and regretted it, and hurriedly got off the boat and hired a small boat to rush back ().
Just when he was worried that he would be treated as a deserter, he would not be able to deal with himself after he went back, and maybe he would be excluded, but the sound of artillery from the direction of Liujiamiao made him tremble, at this moment, there must be such a large-scale battle in the three towns must be the people's army and the remnants of the enemy, as long as he seizes the opportunity to lead the people's army to take Liujiamiao, he, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, will definitely be accepted by everyone again.
The boat boss behind him has a white face, there is a war over there?!
But he didn't dare to talk back, because this person was bulging in his waist and looked like he was carrying a gun, so he could only drive in the direction of Liujiamiao, but when he got a little closer, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Stop the boat, stop the boat!" ”
I saw that several warships flying dragon flags had been parked on the river not far ahead, and the sailors on the deck were running around, and the thick gun muzzles were pressing down little by little. Jiang Yiwu was also frightened, he didn't expect that the "enemy" gunboat was still cruising on the river, but if he didn't go over, he wouldn't be able to make meritorious service, so he gritted his teeth and pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the boat boss and shouted: "Go over, go over!" ”
In front of him was a cannon, and not far from his head was the muzzle of a black hole, and the captain of the ship was so frightened that his face turned white, and he was just about to kneel down and beg for mercy when he saw that the dragon flag on the gunboat opposite was actually slowly lowered, and it was replaced by three flying tiger flags that had never been seen before.
Jiang Yiwu's eyes suddenly straightened, and after thinking about it, he had never heard that the Qing Dynasty had an army flying such a banner, not to mention that the other party was still a sailor. Before he could figure it out, the five 120-millimeter guns on the three gunboats were the first to burst out with a roar, and the blazing cannon flames rushed out of the muzzles to form a huge cannon fire, and the remnants of the soldiers who were desperately running towards the river suddenly screamed miserably.
"Great, it's our people!" Jiang Yiwu trembled excitedly, and when the ship boss heard that the gunboat was actually all the way with this master who drew his gun at every turn, he had to have the courage to sail forward.
"Fire at full speed!"
The army artillery and naval guns of the same caliber are not of the same level, not to mention the larger caliber of 120 mm rapid-fire naval guns, the five 120 mm naval guns and six L40/75 mm rapid-fire guns on the three gunboats burst out with terrible lethality, and in just three minutes, a full 150 shells were thrown at Zhang Biao's remnants.
Zhang Biao's eyeballs were about to explode, he never thought that Ruicheng's sailors would turn against him! Although he has been guarding Liujiamiao, he still knows some things about the three towns, Wuchang is now leaderless, Hankou and Hanyang took the initiative to pull up the right army, and now it is Yang Qiu's troops who are attacking him, which means that the three gunboats are all Yang Qiu's! Rui Cheng must have been caught by him!
Behind him were thousands of enemy troops with artillery and heavy machine guns covering the pursuit, and three gunboats in front of them intercepted them, and the morale of the troops had been completely destroyed.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer guards around him, Zhang Biao knew that the defeat was decided, and he pulled out the knife and was about to wipe it on his neck with a cry of sorrow, Li Xianglin and the guards around him hurriedly grabbed his arm, and the former shouted: "Handsome, don't!" ”
"Don't persuade me, the three towns have been lost, and I have no shame to see the emperor again!"
"Dashuai, stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, not to mention that the wife and children are still in the Japanese concession, if you have three long and two short, how can I explain to them!"
As soon as he heard about his family, Zhang Biao also softened, looked at the three gunboats and threw his saber and sat down on the ground. As the saber fell, the guards around who had no intention of fighting again finally breathed a sigh of relief, and raised their guns and began to surrender.
Su Xiaohu, who fought for the first time, walked in front excitedly, with more than a dozen soldiers behind him protecting the left and right, and laughed a few times when he saw the soldiers catch a prisoner, and when he crossed the station and almost reached the river, the corners of his mouth were crooked by the captives.
"Commander, there is a ship."
Before Zhang Biao could be found, the soldier's fingers twisted to the riverside, only to see a young man wearing the old military uniform of the Eight Towns jumping off the boat with a revolver in his hand, and waving his arms vigorously after seeing them, he seemed to be very happy ().
"Which of you know?"
The soldiers next to him all shook their heads, and Su Xiaohu wondered: "Then what kind of arm does this stupid bird wave?" Still laughing like a chicken thief? ”
"In my opinion, I must admire the commander of the regiment, your wisdom and martial arts, and the courage of the three armies."
"Fuck off."
Several familiar soldiers laughed as soon as they finished speaking, and Su Xiaohu scratched his head shyly, but then again, he has been rushing to the front since the beginning, does this time count...... Done a great job?
When Su Xiaohu was in high spirits, Jiang Yiwu had already come to him, and since he was still holding the gun, the muzzles of the soldiers were all aimed at him, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "I am Jiang Yiwu of the 41st standard." ”
"Jiang Yiwu?" Su Xiaohu scratched his head, always feeling as if he had heard this name somewhere, and a company commander next to him immediately pushed him: "Regiment commander, didn't Lei Dazui say last night, those Yangtze River Gang." ”
Su Xiaohu also remembered, when Lei Meng came to the regiment last night to convey the order, he said that several of his arrested subordinates had confessed, and in addition to Jin Leprosy, there were two other party members who assassinated the commander that night, including this guy in front of him!
Jiang Yiwu didn't notice that Su Xiaohu's face had changed, put away the gun and asked excitedly, "Which unit are you from?" ”
"The Right Route Army is a 42nd standard." The soldier almost slipped out.
"Right Army?" Jiang Yiwu was stunned, how could a right-wing army suddenly appear? But it doesn't matter, he is familiar with 42 bids, so he continued: "What about Qiu Wenbin? Is he in command? went to find him, and said that Jiang Yiwu wanted to see him. ”
This tone with an order made the soldiers' faces darken, not to mention that Qiu Wenbin had violated military regulations and was shut up, even if there was no such thing, he was just a righteous eye, there were not only regiment commanders but also battalion commanders here, which was the turn of an external Zhengmu to order. Seeing that the soldiers continued to hold their guns coldly, Jiang Yiwu was very dissatisfied and shouted: "I am Jiang Yiwu, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army!" What is your attitude? ”
"What bullshit commander?"
"That's right, the three towns have been restored and come to command again, the idle donkey's eggs hurt."
The ridicule of the soldiers, Jiang Yiwu's face suddenly became gloomy, and he glared at Su Xiaohu and said, "You are an officer?" That's it. "You are Jiang Yiwu who assassinated Yang Qiu with Jin Leprosy?" Before he finished speaking, Su Xiaohu interrupted with a glare.
"How do you know?" Jiang Yiwu glanced up and down a few times at Su Xiaohu, thinking that Qiu Wenbin or Jin Leprosy had told him, and hurriedly said, "Have you killed Yang Qiu?" That's great! I'm Jiang Yiwu, but it's a pity that night. ”
"It's a pity you're a grandma!"
Before he could finish speaking, a rifle butt smashed from the side, and several soldiers pressed him to the ground and searched for the gun, and cursed: "What are you looking at?!" Even our commander dares to kill, looking for death! ”
If you meet the original 42 standard soldiers, it may not be like this, but at this moment, it is the young man of the security team who has just been recruited, since Yang Qiu's battalion incorporated them into the regular army, this army composed of all workers' children regards Yang Qiu as the "boss", so how can the assassin of him be arrogant. Jiang Yiwu's mind was also blank, and he didn't know how this could happen, a kick had already stepped on his face, and the soldiers next to him were even more punched and kicked, and in the blink of an eye, the "commander-in-chief" already had a blue nose, swollen face, and a black blue body.
"Drag it away!"
Su Xiaohu waved his hand: "Shut your mouth for me!" Go, take this "captive" to the commander! ”
Yang Qiu, who was in the warehouse by the Liujiamiao River, didn't know that Su Xiaohu had already taken the "commander-in-chief" prisoner, and looked coldly at Zhang Biao, who was tied up by the soldiers, and his Japanese adviser Teranishi Hidetake, and said: "Lord Admiral, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Hidetake Terasai is just a Japanese ronin who has been in the military academy for half a year, and when he saw the guns all around, he was already trembling with fright, but Zhang Biao glared at Yang Qiu and said angrily: "Bold Yang Qiu, don't be complacent ()!" The following offenses will make trouble in the three towns! It's a heinous sin! At this moment, the imperial army is heading south overnight, you quickly let me go, and I will make meritorious contributions, maybe the old man can say a few kind words for you. ”
Zhang Biao has been rude as a governor for many years, and he is not as lenient as Li Yuanhong in treating soldiers, and there are hundreds of soldiers who have been beaten and punished in his hands, and the murderous reputation has already spread all over the three towns.
"Adults are in prison, but their temper is still so hot." Yang Qiu waved his hand and quieted the room again before he walked to the window, looked at the river outside, and stabbed Zhang Biao with his eyes: "I know, the little emperor who is loyal to your guard has sent Yin Chang as the military commander, and Feng Guozhang has helped mobilize the 4th Town, the 5th Town, the 3rd Mixed Association, the 11th Mixed Association, and the 39th Mixed Association, and Zaitao also personally led the First Town Praetorian Guard to guard Beijing, right?" ”
Zhang Biao was shocked by these words, he also learned about this matter after sending someone to the Japanese concession to send a telegram to Beijing this morning, but he didn't expect Yang Qiu to break it in one bite, and he was so clear about the number of the army going south, as if the transfer was made by him. How is this possible? Could it be that there is someone in Yang Qiujing?!
"How do you know!" Although Zhang Biao's tone was still the same, Yue Peng and the others all heard the shock and trembling in their words, and the shock in their hearts was not even less than that of Zhang Biao, you must know that Yang Qiu had never left the camp in the past few days, and had not received any telegrams, how could he be so knowledgeable about the military movements of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?!
"Adults don't have to stare at me, and you don't have to ask how I know." Yang Qiu walked to the side and smiled slightly: "Two towns and three associations Beiyang Army, this is really not a small trick, it's a pity." ”
Zhang Biao was also attracted by his words, and unconsciously blurted out, "What is a pity?" ”
"It's a pity, it's hard to say whether they are not the army of Yin Wulou can be mobilized, right?" Yang Qiu's face suddenly turned cold: "Pity, I really feel sorry for him, he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and he has a far advantage in ships and artillery and ordnance, but unfortunately there are few people who can mobilize, and he wants to rely on such an army to fight Wuchang, who is united in his heart!" Kill yourself! ”
Being able to be in the position of the eighth town of the Hubei army for so many years, Zhang Biao is naturally not an ordinary person, maybe he is not good at fighting, but he has been fighting with Ruicheng for so many years, but he is already familiar with his scheming, how can he not hear Yang Qiu's voice, listening to his analysis of several troops, his face also changed suddenly.
Although he and Yuan Shikai are not close friends, they also know that person is powerful, how can he be willing to continue to nest in the small mountain nest at this critical time, so he will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to make waves excitedly! If you can't suppress this dragon, retaking Wuchang is just talking on paper.
Yang Qiu walked up to Teranishi Xiuwu and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Teranishi Hidewu, you should have been in China for many years, right?" I think I should be able to understand what we are saying, I know what you are thinking, you are thinking that you are a samurai of His Majesty the Emperor of the Japanese Empire, I dare not kill you? Right? ”
Hidetake's mouse eyes had shrunk into a cold star, and there was a stench in the crotch of his pants.
"Unfortunately, you never know a thing." Yang Qiu slowly pulled out his pistol, Xiao Anguo's face changed when he saw this, and he just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Song Ziqing.
"Taking advantage of our country's students who went to Japan, and taking advantage of the hot-blooded people who were eager to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, pretended to provide financial aid, but in fact they wanted to mess us up and cripple us, so that we could encroach on Manchuria and even the whole of China! You use Sheng Xuanhuai and other traitorous businessmen to control cotton yarn! Take control of Han Yeping! More than 100,000 tons of iron sand concentrate can be obtained every year, and tens of thousands of tons of steel from Hanyang Steel Mill every year are also shipped back to Japan! Without Han Yeping's coal and iron, your army will not have enough artillery! The Navy will always be in the sky! Am I right? It's a really good plan, a good peaceful evolution, but it's a pity that you miscalculated one thing, and that is that in my life, the most hated thing is the Japanese bang! ”
Yang Qiu didn't kill Teranishi Xiuwu, but just shot him in front of his toes, so frightened that he knelt down on the spot.
Song Ziqing and the others sighed and nodded secretly, this analysis of Japan's infiltration into China is indeed deafening, and he resisted the urge not to kill Teranishi Hidetake for the time being, which also shows that he is not a reckless person. It's not that it's troublesome to kill this Japanese, but to completely extinguish it, you need to kill Zhang Biao together, otherwise it will be very troublesome if Zhang Biao is publicized. But the killer will seem to be very refreshing, but it is not conducive to reputation, and he has just started
