This is a very quiet courtyard, hidden deep in the alley behind the county office, even in the daytime it is very quiet, at night, it is even quieter, the only thing that can be heard is the sound of the wind rustling the leaves in the yard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Amid the rustle of leaves, a middle-aged man with a long beard in Hanfu stood in the courtyard, staring at the starry sky, holding a pipe in his palm, his brow furrowed and loose, as if thinking about a problem.

"Now, the news from here should get out!"

At this moment, the middle-aged man in this silent courtyard even wishes that he was in the middle of a busy city and could hear the sound of people - so that people would naturally hear the sound of the city, and then people would know that the flames would be extinguished from the future.

However, after all, this is located in the remote mountains of southern Gansu, and by the time people notice it, maybe a few months have passed, and by then, who will notice what is happening here? Who would notice this people's army?

In the courtyard at midnight, even the wind had stopped, and there was no rustling of leaves, and the surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a needle falling on the ground.

Just as the air became more and more quiet, a man walked over from the courtyard gate.

"Governor ......"

Li Qinyu, who walked in, saw that the governor seemed to be thinking about the problem, so he shouted softly.

"Ah,"

Turning around and seeing Li Qinyu, a smile suddenly appeared on the bearded middle-aged man's face.

"Qinming, I, I'm not the governor of everything now. Call me back to life in the future! ”

Back!

If this word comes out of the mountainous area of southern Gansu. It spread to big cities like Jiangning and Shanghai. I don't know what kind of sensation it will cause. After the Hangzhou Uprising, there are a few people in the world who don't know the name of Tan Fusheng, the governor of the Zhejiang Military Government of the Han Dynasty. In the past year, after most of the insurgents in Hangzhou had traveled to the northeast by sea, the whereabouts of Tan Sitong had been lost, and news about Tan Sitong's death had been reported from time to time in newspapers in Shanghai and other places, and news about his killing had been published in newspapers every once in a while.

Westerners have devoted a great deal of attention to China's most famous revolutionary who has disappeared. When this revolutionary name. While constantly appearing in the newspapers, many people have to admit that Tan Sitong disappeared, just like the elite of the people's army that followed him, and disappeared in the mountains of northern Zhejiang.

Who would have thought that Tan Sitong, who has been missing for a long time, is actually in this remote town surrounded by rivers.

"For me, the Governor will always be the Governor of my Han Military Government!"

Although he is the commander-in-chief of the People's Army, the de facto supreme commander of this team, Li Qinyu still maintains enough respect for Tan Sitong, the former governor of Zhejiang. For this force. Perhaps Li Qinyu is the supreme commander, but Tan Sitong is the spiritual leader to some extent. Although he does not have the role of an instructor, he has always played this role.

"Okay, Qinming, how is it, is everything going well?"

In the past, when he was in Hangzhou, Tan Sitong still had a lot of work to do, but now in the city, he almost never interferes in military affairs, but he is idle. Not only did he not worry about military affairs, but he didn't even worry about government affairs, but he devoted more time to studying every day.

Now seeing Li Qinyu visiting in the middle of the night, he naturally knows that he must have encountered something troublesome.

"That's ......"

Li Qinyu simply told the things he encountered one by one, what kind of money, weapons, and even iron things, he also said it.

When Li Qinyu was talking, Tan Sitong just smoked his pipe silently, and occasionally interrupted him with words to ask in more detail, maybe Tan Sitong rarely asked about affairs, but it didn't mean that he couldn't help Li Qinyu, such as giving him some advice.

"Well, borrowing money and grain from rich people can also solve a temporary opportunity, and everyone has done this throughout the ages?"

Compared with them, the people's army seems to be a little too "civilized", often just "borrowing", and not like the people in the book.

"However, we must pay attention to the means, after all, this Ganzhou is our base and our foothold......"

If there is anything that has been most profound in the more than a year of exile, I am afraid that it is the importance of the base area, with which the troops can be repaired and fully supplied. Otherwise, a long period of mobile combat will only cause fewer and fewer troops to fight, and the combat effectiveness will become worse and worse.

"If we don't pay attention to the means and arouse their resistance, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the Ganzhou area, after all, for the local people, we ......."

Shaking his head and sighing, Tan Sitong said helplessly.

"It's just a bunch of outsiders!"

"I understand!"

Li Qinyu's answer made Tan Sitong nod, and then continued.

"Now our foundation here is not stable, if we arouse their opposition, want to gain a foothold here, I am afraid it will only be more difficult, we must work hard to win their support, this loan, borrowing grain is only a temporary urgency, after the autumn harvest, can be repaid or pay them back first!"

In the past, when he was in Hangzhou, Tan Sitong had never had a headache with logistics, which included not only ships of weapons shipped from North Korea, but also subsidies from North Korean banks ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. At that time, the people's army never needed to worry about military salaries and weapons, and now, raising military salaries and weapons has always been an extremely headache problem, and it is precisely because of this that he really realized that with Ziran's help to Hangzhou, he also understood a truth, without Ziran's support, or after the sea route was cut off, Hangzhou would never exist alone.

"Yes, when the money from outside arrives, I will definitely return it to them as soon as possible!"

Li Qinyu noticed that Tan Sitong's brows jumped slightly when he mentioned the money outside, and then saw him nod silently.

"Qin Ming, you said that if Ziran knew that we were still fighting here, what would he think?"

Will they continue to support themselves and the People's Army, as they did in Hangzhou? For all this, Tan Sitong has no bottom in his heart, after all, at the beginning, Ziran hoped that he would go to the northeast, instead of wandering in the mountains like a rogue.

"I think the big guy will definitely be surprised and find a way to support us!"

After answering this question, Li Qinyu's brows frowned slightly.

"If it is not bad, now Liu Kunyi and they will definitely choose to settle this matter in the council, after all, we are at the junction of the four places, plus the heavy damage to the Jiangxi New Army before, all parties will never risk the loss of the elite and fight to the death with us, as long as the news of our opening up a base in Ganzhou spreads to the northeast, I think the marshal will never sit back and watch us stay here!"

Why did you choose Ganzhou?

This is precisely the shrewdness of Tan Sitong, Li Qinyu and others, Ganzhou is ostensibly located in the mountainous area of southern Jiangxi, but in fact it is connected to Hunan in the west, and Guangdong and Fujian in the south. It is precisely because of this that this "three regardless" areas will be formed, whether it is Huguang or Liangguang, Fujian and Zhejiang, they will not send troops to help the war in the fire of the two rivers, not only will they not send troops, but they are even willing to see the power of the two rivers fall here.

After the failure of the attack, Liangjiang, as initially expected, did not mobilize heavy troops to attack, but temporarily abandoned the attack, thus giving the people's army a little respite and time to repair. Whether it is Liu Kunyi, Zhang Zhidong, or Li Hanzhang, they are more willing to see the hands of the fake people's army to weaken the opponent's strength, rather than blindly transferring troops to suppress.

"Everyone has selfish intentions, Ganzhou is located at the junction of four provinces, whether it is attacking to the south, to the east, or to the west, as long as it is not a large-scale attack, whether it is Liangguang or Huguang, even if it is Liangjiang, it will turn a blind eye, in the eyes of those people, our people's army is a knife, a knife that can put the blood of the opponent, even if it attacks us, they will not make great efforts, after all, ......"

The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and a contemptuous smile appeared on Tan Sitong's face.

"No one will be willing to use the capital to fight the world in the future to exterminate us, this place is poor and bad, even if it takes a lot of effort to fight down, what's the use?"

This is the reason why Ganzhou was chosen to re-erect the flag in the first place, not only because of its remoteness, but more importantly, because of its strategic environment. At this point, Tan Sitong admired Ziran from the bottom of his heart, if it were not for his move "Eight Governors to Discuss Politics", which stimulated the ambitions of the local governors, and caused the local and central divisions to contend with each other, how could there be a time for the people's army to gain a foothold in Ganzhou?

"Therefore, if everything is pushed as planned, and nothing happens, in the next few years, we only need to operate cautiously, expand carefully, accumulate strength, and build the junction of these four provinces into our base, manage it well, and wait until the time is ripe......"

Compared with the past, now after the failure of Hangzhou, Tan Sitong has already matured, no longer as full of enthusiasm as at the beginning, and now he agrees with Tang Haoran's "thick accumulation" approach, Emperor Hongwu didn't rely on "accumulating grain, building high walls, and slowly becoming king" to achieve the great cause of expelling the Mengtars?

"When the time comes, we'll strike in all directions!"

After a pause, Tan Sitong looked at the map on the wall again, and then said seriously.

"Ganzhou is located in a remote area, although those governors will not force us too much, but they definitely don't want us to sit big, I think this future breakthrough, or think of a way here!" (To be continued.) )
