"Haha ()."

There was a tide of laughter in the combat conference room, and Xiao Anguo even wiped the corners of his eyes and twitched: "Commander, your hand is really amazing, in the blink of an eye, we have become the right army of national defense, and we have also taken advantage of the situation to put Li Xietong on the throne of Edu, which is not clear about embarrassing them!" ”

"What about being embarrassed?" Zhang Wenjingle said: "Tens of thousands of notices have been pasted all over the streets and alleys, and no one in Yangxia and Yangxia now knows that Li Xietong has been appointed as the governor of Hubei, and the commander has been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army. ”

"Wenjing, aren't you a strong man to do it, even if you remove it, what can you do? Just now I have ordered someone to post a few at the gate of the concession, and the foreigners know about it, not to mention that Bingwen and Wang Guangxiung have already sent a telegram to the whole country, and the names of the commander and our Right Route Army will surely spread throughout the country in less than two days. ”

"Zi'an, you." Zhang Wenjing said angrily: "It's too bad! ”

Song Ziqing participated in this kind of meeting for the first time, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous, but he really admired Yang Qiu's hand. Because everyone knows very well that with his previous reputation and the connections and prestige at the moment, he must not rush to the front. So everyone has been worried about the status of this new army. But it's good now, there is no response from there, and this side has given its own name and position, and as soon as the Anmin notice and the national electricity were issued, it was also dragged to the name of Li Du, unless it was hard, otherwise it could only swallow this breath.

But come to the hard line? Not to mention that the navy battalion is still in the river with red eyes and is ready to make a name for it, just the chaos of the dragons and dragons in Wuchang City without a leader, I am afraid that it will take several days to settle down, and at that time the whole country will know, no matter how much the Kuomintang wants to fight, it will weigh the consequences of killing revolutionary heroes!

Now there is no suspense that the army from the north is coming, and the elite Beiyang will definitely be dispatched, Yang Qiu's purchase of so many machine guns obviously exceeds the need for defense, so he must have thought about fighting this battle a long time ago! As long as you can make a name for yourself in this war and temper an iron army, where else in the world can you not go at that time?

"Send someone across the river." Yang Qiu raised his hand to make everyone quiet down immediately, and said: "Tell them that Zhang Biao is entrenched in Liujiamiao and has seriously threatened Hankou, and our army is currently seriously short of armaments, military funds are not available, and there are not enough soldiers, so they can't watch Hankou fall again, right?" ”

Song Ziqing smiled knowingly: "The commander is right, but they definitely don't believe us so easily, so if you want someone who dares to speak, you must not be swayed by them." ”

"You have to be calm, mix it up a little, have a louder mouth, and make your voice louder!" After Zhang Wenjing finished speaking, he patted his head first and said happily: "Look at me, how do you think of the commander's precious hob meat!" ”

Everyone burst into laughter again, even Yang Qiu was amused, and after taking a deep breath, he suppressed his emotions and said calmly: "The matter of liaison and communication with the other side of the strait will be handled by Brother Xiao and Wenjing, in addition, you are selecting a few people to come out, we must not rely on Hu Ruilin and them in the customs and police, and when the matter in Wuchang is decided, I estimate that we will be given the name of the branch of the military government, so some things must be formed now, and now the most important thing for us is to defeat Zhang Biao as soon as possible!" ”

"I sent someone to make up the railroad and scouted it." Speaking of business, everyone became serious, Yue Peng spread the map on the table and pointed to it and said: "There are about 1,000 remnants of Zhang Biao entrenched in Liujiamiao, most of them are patrol battalions, horse labels and his personal guards, and some 29 men and horses, because of the hasty escape and lack of armament, the soldiers came back and said that they only saw 5 cannons and 2 machine guns ().

Liujiamiao is less than 10 kilometers away from the northernmost Japanese concession in Hankou, the outside of the railway station is open and there is no danger to defend, but the road inside is tortuous, the left and right are railway workers' dormitories and warehouses, and a few trains are parked in the railway bureau, and the machine gun enters after there are shooting dead ends, and Zhang Biao also detains the train, it should be to take advantage of the chaos to escape after the enemy, so I think the first thing is to prevent escape, I have ordered someone to dig out a section of the track to cut off the road behind it, shake its military spirit, and so on to use our numerical advantage to besiege from three sides, Only put it close to the river. ”

"Insidious, you're too insidious." Zhang Wenjing and Yue Peng knew each other the most, and patted him and encouraged: "Are you planning to let Wang Guangxiong's naval battalion wait there, and when he feels safe, the artillery will be bombarded?" ”

Yue Peng smiled and didn't speak, and when he raised his head to look at Yang Qiu, he found that his eyes didn't seem to be in Liujiamiao, but extended north along the Jinghan Railway, which made his eyebrows skip a beat! This person doesn't want to go north to fight a field battle with Beiyang, right?! Relying on the defense of Hankow, there may still be a glimmer of hope for victory, but fighting against Beiyang, who is accustomed to field combat, allows them to give full play to their artillery superiority...... That's no different from looking for death!

He guessed correctly, Yang Qiu really wanted to gamble, but after weighing it again, he still sighed: "Zi'an, Ziqing." You two should be the best officers in our right army, let me ask you, if you face two towns in Beiyang, three mixed associations, and the sailors under the control of Sa, how long can you hold out? ”

"Two towns, three associations plus a water master!"

Yang Qiu didn't notice that everyone's faces were already a little shocked, to be honest, if it wasn't for the foresight, I'm afraid that anyone in this era, even if they are the best in the Hubei New Army, will change color when they hear these names, just now he wanted to be able to boldly attack and strike first, but after some struggle, he still gave up, and he was basically dead to fight against Beiyang, not to mention that Wuchang is still unclear about the enemy, and the only thing that can be used now is to get used to the intricate southern towns, After all, street fighting was a problem even in later generations, and in his time.

"Commander, with all due respect, there is no one in the Beiyang Field Battle, so I can't think of a second way except to rely on Hankou to consume its vitality and survive in the search for an opportunity to die!" Although he didn't know why he said this, Yue Peng immediately said his thoughts bluntly.

"yes." Yang Qiu sighed and muttered to himself: "If there is a year, why am I afraid of the North Ocean." ”

Song Ziqing, who was sharp-eared, heard this, raised his eyebrows slightly, and found that the atmosphere in the conference room was a little dignified, and said with a smile: "Water comes to cover the soldiers, and we are not vegetarians, so after the division meeting tomorrow morning, we will take Zhang Biao first!" Maybe once the cannon is fired, Zaifeng won't dare to come. ”

The laughter of everyone made Yang Qiu find that he was a little out of shape, looked at Song Ziqing gratefully, and said with a smile: "Therefore, it is easy to get a thousand troops and it is difficult to find a general, and it is a blessing for the three towns to have your help." ”

"The commander is too complimentary." Xiao Anguo saw that the atmosphere had eased slightly, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Commander, what do you think of Regiment Commander Yue's plan?" ”

"Just fight like this!" Yang Qiu's big hand pressed Liujiamiao.

Inside the Xiyuan Gate of the Forbidden City, Xiao Huangmen looked up at the starry sky, and then at the military aircraft that was still brightly lit, oh, no, it was called the cabinet instead, and yawned again.

From noon to now, people have been in and out of this place without stopping, everyone is solemn, now it looks almost time, no one should come, right? Xiao Huangmen was just about to slip away and find a place to take a nap, when a crisp and powerful footsteps came from outside, and after seeing the person clearly, he quickly knelt down: "Lord Belle is auspicious." ”

Zaitao didn't have the heart to take care of a small yellow door, and threw the horsewhip in his hand to Liangbi and Li Jingmai, who came back from Yongping overnight with him, and walked into the cabinet. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the regent Zaifeng, Shanqi, and Pu Wei quietly discussing, and even the Minister of the Navy Zaixun came to the side, and hurriedly said: "How is it, how is Wuchang?" ”

Although Zaitao is young, he is the minister of the Military Advisory Office, which is equivalent to the general staff of European countries, leading the mobilization of soldiers and horses across the country, and has great power, so everyone saw him and hurriedly got up to greet him. But he didn't like these red tapes, and he didn't even want to say hello, so he asked again: "I heard that the Hubei army rebelled, but is there really such a thing?" This Ruicheng, what a damn thing! ”

Zaixun hurriedly pulled him: "It was a telegram sent by Zhang Biao, the commander of the Hubei army, and I heard him say that now Wuchang has been occupied by the chaotic party, Ruicheng's life and death are unknown, and there are also people in Hankou and Hanyang who are making trouble." ”

"What about Zhang Biao?"

"Zhang Biao has retreated to Liujiamiao, seized the railway station, and is waiting for the army to rush to support."

Don't look at Zaitao's usual lack of integrity, but he still has a little talent in military affairs, as soon as he heard that Zhang Biao won the Liujiamiao Station of the Hanjing Railway, he nodded and said: "This aunt is still a little prescient, but the elite of the Hubei army is extraordinary, there will be a bloody battle, can you set the person who will lead the troops?" ”

"A decision has been made, and Yinchang has been ordered to go to Hubei to supervise the division, but the mobilization of those troops is still under consideration."

"Yin Chang?!" Zaitao snorted in his nose, full of disdain, but he couldn't intervene in this matter, and it also involved the one in Henan, so he couldn't let the tiger out of the mountain easily, but when he heard that these old men were still considering sending those troops, Zaitao stomped his feet angrily and said: "Pull out the six towns of Beiyang directly, I don't believe that little Wuchang can stop it." ”

Shanqi has always disliked Zaitao's frivolity, but this turmoil is not trivial, the Hubei army is the new army second only to Beiyang in China, and the stakes are very high, so he coughed twice before saying: "The six towns of Beiyang and the Praetorian Guard need to defend Gyeonggi, how can they all be pulled out, this matter still needs to be considered in detail." ”

Seeing Shanqi speak, Zaitao didn't dare to say more, but said: "Don't care how you think about it, at this moment, you must immediately send out a large army to support Zhang Biao along the railway, if you lose the Liujiamiao Railway Station, even if Yinchang arrives, it will take more Zhou Ze." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, I have already ordered the Sa Zhen Ice Control Water Master to set off from Shanghai, and he can reach Wuchang in five days at most."

After Zai Xun finished speaking, Zai Tao said: "It is not enough to have a sailor, you should order Henan Governor Baofen to send the 52 standard department to Hankou nearby, the 52 standard is not far from Xinyang at this moment, enter the Liujiamiao station to meet Zhang Biao and immediately wave the army to attack Hankou, as long as Hankou is taken, Hanyang and Wuchang will not be afraid after the arrival of the army (). ”

"Hehe, Zaitao still has a good brain, in my opinion, it can, so that those chaotic parties can know the determination of the imperial court to conquer, shake their military hearts, and buy time for the mobilization of other military towns." Shanqi touched Chaozhu and asked, "How is Yongping doing over there?" ”

"I have ordered the autumn exercise to be suspended, all troops are on standby, and the second town is also ready to pack up and go south."

Hearing Zaitao's words, Shanqi nodded, picked up the soldiers and horses of each town and thought carefully for a moment and said: "The second town is immovable, and the tens of thousands of troops in Yongping are mixed, and it is still necessary to take precautions at this moment, I think it is better to transfer the first town, the fourth town, and the fifth town to be the mainstay, and then transfer the 3rd and 11th associations to follow, and order the 52nd standard vanguard to support Zhang Biao as soon as possible, do you think this is okay?" ”

"It's not a problem to transfer troops, and it's no problem for Yinchang to command the troops, but the commander of these three armies." Pu Wei glanced at everyone, and everyone knew what he meant, these three towns are all descendants of the "patient" in Henan, will this time be transferred.

"In this way, Yinchang will take the fourth town, mix the 3rd and 11th associations as the Chinese army, let Feng Guozhang take the fifth town as the second army, and I will personally bring the first town Praetorian Guard to guard Beijing!" Zaitao is an anxious person and doesn't like these old men to be in a hurry, so he decided to simply roll up his sleeves and go on his own. The regent Zaifeng was originally a person who did not take responsibility, and felt that Yin Chang and Zaitao were his own people, and Feng Guozhang was also more obedient in Beiyang, so he agreed to this plan.

In the face of the sudden "rebellion" of the Hubei army, this time the Qing Dynasty's response can be called a god's speed. From the time he got the news to the next day, Zaifeng, who had stayed up all night, had already stamped the vermilion seal on the official letter of troop transfer, but at this moment he didn't know that this rapid troop transfer to quell the rebellion would become the last decision of the Central Empire for more than 200 years.

However, Emperor Puyi, who was supposed to be the highest decision-maker in this country, was still sleeping sweetly in the arms of the nurse, not knowing that his country had trembled violently, and even knew that the war had begun, and the little emperor did not know what was happening.
