Dai Tianqiu's interview began with shouting and explosions, and after a night with the veterans, all 133 young people from the Nanjing Army Academy remained, and although they were all future army officers, they were still complete rookies (). Yang Qiu directly arranged them into each platoon to receive the baptism of blood and fire, which was very brutal and would be sacrificed, but it was the only body that could make them grow up.

In addition to the sharpness of the artillery, the offensive momentum of the Beiyang infantry offensive was obviously curbed, and even those grassroots officers seemed to have been wilted by the fierce battles for several days in a row, and the intensity of the battle suddenly weakened a lot, which was just right for Wang Zhuo and others to gradually adapt.

In the eyes of Yang Qiu and the veterans, it could only be regarded as a low-intensity war, but it made Dai Tianqiu's face pale, and the explosions one after another, one after another at close range, made him very afraid, only to know that the war was so terrible.

"Don't worry, this is a dead end." Yang Qiu gave him the goggles, the world in the lenses was even more terrifying, the flames and yellow smoke after the shells exploded, flowing over the three passes, from time to time there were soldiers who were blown away by the falling shells, the flesh and blood were blurred, the explosion made the entire position fall into a dead silence, most of the soldiers were still hiding in the attack position, and only a few medical soldiers rushed back and forth to help the front-line comrades.

"What do you see?"

"Explosions and deaths, and the tenacity of the soldiers!" Dai Tianqiu, who picked up the pen and paper, no longer had any fear, which even Yang Qiu admired, and said with a smile: "Do you know what I saw?" ”

"I see a new life! See the future! “

Yang Qiu said firmly: "The Civil War in the United States and the Franco-Prussian War in Europe made two powerful countries stand up. Today it's our turn! Death and blood are painful, but throughout history, the strength of nations and nations has often been accompanied by war. The shells are sharp, the smoke is full of poison, and the flames burn our bodies black, but we are firm in our faith and we are fearless! The country has suffered so much humiliation, and now we need a voice! “

Dai Tianqiu quickly wrote down this passage and asked: "Commander, it can't be me, there is a doubt in the whole country that you are the last Baturu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Sichuan Incident occurred, why did you suddenly turn around and veto the Manchu Qing Dynasty's self-created National Defense Right Route Army?" ”

"Baturu is the title of warrior awarded by the Manchu government, and Zhang Biao, the commander of the Eight Towns, was also Baturu before, but I don't agree with him ()! I don't know if I'm a warrior or not, but I know better than him that I'm a Chinese! Yang Qiu took a deep breath and turned his head to the observation window, looked at the gunsmoke-filled Guancheng and said slowly: "The truth of 41 will be made public one day, I don't want to say anything more, in short, it's not what you imagined!" As for the self-created army? I don't know who is rumoring that the Right Route Army was established with the permission of Li Tu, from the first day of its birth, in order to overthrow the Manchu rule and revive China! “

"Commander Yang, on the way here, I heard that there is a conflict between the Left Route Army and the Right Route Army, is this true?"

"Turn your head around and feel it with your eyes and heart, and don't believe the rumors." Yang Qiu swept his fingers and pointed at the soldiers in the artillery fire, Dai Tianqiu followed his fingers, only to see the soldiers rushing out of the attack position with a determined expression, among them there were both the right army wearing the flying tiger armband, and the left army in dark blue uniforms, there was no hesitation or wandering, everyone trusted each other and shot side by side.

This is a vivid picture of war, breaking the rumors in everyone's minds, Dai Tianqiu was also secretly moved, and said to himself: "I'm sorry Commander Yang, me." ”

"It doesn't matter.

We live in a great era of change, and there will always be voices that will undermine and thwart our determination to overthrow the Manchus, and as long as we learn to confess, all rumors will become ridiculous lies. ”

"Commander Yang, I still have a question, this time the Manchus sent the most elite Beiyang New Army, which is three times the number of the Eight Towns of the Hubei Army! Although we have recruited a lot of new warriors, the Qing court is also gathering more troops from the north to move south, and we can. Before he finished speaking, Yang Qiu's expression suddenly became resolute, and his tone was extremely firm and interrupted him: "There is nothing that can not be defeated!" We're here to this day! We have killed 3,000 of the most elite Beiyang! We haven't lost an inch of land! I know that we won't be able to stay here for the rest of our lives, and the enemy's artillery fire will tear our bodies apart, but even if we leave, we will be back soon! This is not for us, nor for Hubei, but for all the people in the world who straighten their waists and refuse to be Manchu slaves! “

"See that battle flag?" Following his fingers, Dai Tianqiu saw the flying tiger battle flag fluttering in the wind in the distance, and in the dazzling flashing lights, Yang Qiu's tone was never more confident and flamboyant: "As long as it doesn't fall, we will swear to die here, this is our promise, it is the oath of the National Defense Force ()!" Remember that today, what you see is not only a flag, but also the beginning of a new era!

Beiyang is very strong, I don't want to hide my inner worries, as of yesterday, we have more than 2,000 brave soldiers who fell in a pool of blood for the sake of their ideals and for this country!

But I want to tell you that we haven't failed yet! There will be no failure! Because we're stronger than them! Because we have a strong heart! I would like to appeal, with your pen and words, to young people like you, it doesn't matter if you can't hold a gun, it's okay if you can't come to war. Now, now! Use your mouth, use your pen, and tell the people around you that the new era will kick off with this flag! Let go of all the rhetoric and stop the war of words! Hoes can produce more food, machine tools can make more tools, and now it's up to everyone to do their part! Work hard with your hands. This country needs countless aspiring young people to build and protect together! “

"It's like the soldiers who are covered in artillery fire at the moment, they haven't read a lot of books, they are mud legs in the eyes of many people, but they are real soldiers, soldiers! Their duty is to use their young lives and blood to protect the towering backbone of China! Yang Qiu raised his right arm high, his eyes were blazing, his cheeks were filled with a confident and firm smile, and the military uniform covered with wrinkles and blood made Dai Tianqiu, who always interviewed those well-dressed ** families, suddenly feel a palpitation that he had never felt before.

At the same age, when many people are rich and prosperous, they will enjoy life, and in the old days, when they sat at their desks and talked about the future at the dinner table, "some people have already picked up guns, and used their blood and lives to defend the dignity of the nation, to fight for this suffering to fight a glorious future, what words can describe?"

The sonorous words, the tall figure towered in the smoke of the sky, "Like the towering Kunlun, what could be more convincing than this picture?" Dai Tianqiu quickly pressed the shutter, and in the flickering lights, a tall and slender figure was frozen under the military flag and gunsmoke.

Powerful words, photos of blood! A wonderful interview was born in the smoke of artillery fire, and under the care of a squad of cavalry, Dai Tianqiu quickly galloped to the Xiaochang telegraph station in the rear with excitement, but he didn't know that Yang Qiu's face had become very dark (). The British Concession in Hankou was crowded with people, "with the urgency of Wusheng Pass, the number of people who came to the concession to die suddenly increased", and the dock of the Jardine Company was full of people who tried to leave on the British river steamer.

The sound of the tart motor attracted a lot of attention, and it was clear that it was just a small steamboat, and everyone left one after another, and at the same time that the rope was tied to the dock, a man in a green shirt jumped ashore with two retinues, and "After the British sailors finished inspecting the apricots, they quickly walked towards the French Concession." The two attendants seemed to look a little nervous, and only after turning a street corner did they breathe a sigh of relief, "I saw the house number clearly, and knocked on the side door."

"Cast new! Your ears have finally come. ”

Tang Hualong, who saw the man talking to Zhang Wenjing, hurriedly got up, and the latter also hurriedly came over to say hello: "Zhang Wenjing greets Master Tang." ”

After the sailor arrived in Yangluo, he received a letter from Tang Hualong, and the management of Kesa Zhenbing was very strict and did not allow the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to leave the ship, so it was not until today that he took the opportunity to come here to purchase the ship's lack of materials.

"Brother, I can't wait longer, Brother Zhang, let's make a long story short."

Tang Taiming is of medium stature, thin in appearance, neatly dressed, has a strong bookish smell on his body, and his words are extremely concise, "But because Yang Qiu took care of this person, he may not have the experience of joining the League when he was studying in France, and after regretting it, he actually collaborated with Sun Wen to steal Sun Wen's purse and steal the list, and was ostracized by his classmates" After being embarrassed, he switched to the British Navy to study, so he took out a check for 100,000 yuan and put it on the table: "The commander hopes that the adult can lead the sailor brothers to revolt" This is the activity fund for the adult. After the matter is completed, we will guarantee and support Minister Tang as the founding Minister of Civil Affairs, and support Lord Tang as the Chief of the Navy, if you have other requests, you can also put forward. ”

Tang Tsiming didn't stretch out his hand, he was a very powerful person, but he was not very keen on money, so he squinted his eyes and said, "Is Brother Zhang joking?" Do you think that just one Yangtze River can satisfy the navy? What's more, brother, I don't have the body to convince those Hokkien guys. ”

He didn't tell a lie, after arriving in Yangluo, he received a letter of rebellion from Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong, although he was the chief adviser, but in fact, he was not in the stream of the sailor, not to mention those captains who held real power, Sa Zhenbing's prestige in the sailor alone was enough to ensure that as long as he did not bow his head, any reform behavior was dragged to the city, even if Sa Zhenbing had clearly expressed his willingness not to fight, he would not be willing to hand over the sailor to an inland province, so the money was not good to collect ().

Zhang Wenjing had heard about the fact that the Fujian Gang of the Sailor had squeezed out outsiders, and Yang Qiu had explained this kind of thing on the eve of going to the front line, and immediately said: "My lord, although you can rest assured, the commander of my family is in Hubei, far away from the sea!" What's more, we can't support the sailor, the brothers just want to borrow the sailor's cannon for the time being, compared to the end of this battle, not to mention that the sailor will be returned to Zhao and handed over to Master Tang, even if we have the three ships in our hands now, they will be returned together.

Tang Hualong was the most anxious next to him, after Sun Wu grew stronger, he had obviously been squeezed out, so he was unwilling to let go of this opportunity to deepen the relationship with Yang Qiu, not to mention that Zhang Wenjing said it was not bad, although the Yangtze River can also take the naval division warship, but the result is not a long-term thing, no matter how powerful Yang Qiu is, he will not be able to grow to Jiangxi overnight, and the naval division is not an army, and it will be a place to settle down, not only do you need money to smash it into, but you also need to have support from the base, shipyard, etc., without these tools, you can't control the naval division, so you immediately persuaded him: "Cast new, Now Hubei is life and death, and Li Du is also very anxious about this matter, you see. ”

Tang Mingna didn't know that Hubei was tight, don't look at the lively fight in Wusheng Pass, once the Xiaogan Pass was broken, it would be impossible to play and hold it, and after Xiaogan the sailors could provide full fire support, so he thought about it and asked: "I can only control a few warships at most, and the rest." ”

"As long as the adults can get our brother on board." ”

"Never!" Tang Taoming immediately stood up, the sailors are all controlled by Fujianese, and they are usually extremely xenophobic, once outsiders board the ship, if there is any bloodshed, it will definitely be bad luck for his future, so he immediately refused: "The sailors are not as good as the army, once they board the ship, they will be disarmed, not to mention that the Sa control system is still on the ship, if you regret it!" “

"Master Tang has misunderstood, how can the commander of my family hurt the lives of the Shui Shi brothers and the Sa Commander, we are prepared." After Zhang Wenjing explained the style of the water control master in detail, he suddenly raised his voice: "As soon as this matter is completed, Master Tang, you are a national hero!" “

"National hero?!" Tang Tsiming glanced at the check on the table, and was a little moved for the first time.
