Chapter 90: Commander-in-Chief
@@@@
Someone once said (). 4∴8065 Xinhai year is the era of the fastest change in the political situation in Chinese history, the Sichuan Baolu Movement attracted a gunshot on October 10, first the three towns of Luàn, followed by the wind to the north, and then Shaanxi, Hunan, Jiangxi have responded, the Qing court's edict, Yuan Gongbao's thousands of calls began to come out, the four countries of the bank group step by step, the cold eyes of the ministers of various countries, as well as Yunnan's first Luàn, the ninth town to plan to wave Nanjing, and so on
Countless people and countless things have completely disturbed the land of China, both the old ** people ascended to the heights, there are also conservatives who sit still, and there are new generations who grab power, and in this year that is going down in history, the most colorful is undoubtedly the three towns of Hubei in the center of the whirlpool
October 27 in the parallel world was the first day of the Hubei People's Army and Beiyang's official Jiāo Feng, but now all eyes were focused on the small military and political Fuyang Xia Branch. There was no crowding, no shouting, only the shiny bayonets on the tips of the guards' guns exuding a dazzling chill in the sun.
Carriages and sedan chairs smell the wind, and people who stick their heads out of the corners from time to time to inquire about the news add a bit of weirdness here, Tang Hualong and Hu Ruilin in the courtyard are each holding a freshly baked "Hubei Daily", and the corners of their mouths are almost bent to the root of their ears ().
"Brother Ziwat, it seems that we are really betting on the right treasure this time." Tang Hualong squinted his eyes and smiled, "I won't tell you." I really can't eat or sleep in the past two days, brother, now hehe. ”
Hu Ruilin was not as flamboyant as him, but he also smiled and said, "Hasn't Jiwu understood yet?" I'm afraid he planned to stay on the front line for the time being."
"Already planned?"
"If he is famous" Hu Ruilin glanced at Zhang Wenjing and Xiao Anguo, who were discussing something in the distance behind him, and said after getting closer to him: "I think that day, when Sun Wu pressured him to resign with the matter of the Liu brothers, Ju Zheng and Tan Renfeng did not express their position, why is this?" Because they were also worried about him. Why worry? It's because he is not a member of the party, and his reputation can't stop the north, if he can have as many connections as the old fox, do you think Ju Zheng and Tan Renfeng will watch Sun Wu suppress him by the old fox's hand? Maybe I'll leave the old fox behind long ago.
That's why he deliberately took a step back
You think he's not afraid of death? Don't want to stay comfortable in Hanyang? Going to war is hard and tiring, and you have to take risks. But he can't help it, because his fame is too small, so he still gritted his teeth and stayed at Wusheng Pass after so many deaths, why? Isn't it just that the more people who want to die in vain, the more famous he becomes, the more famous he is, although the front-line officers are all old foxes and Sun Wu's people, but what about those soldiers? Whoever really fights, who fakes fighting, they all have rods and scales in their hearts" Hu Ruilin shook the newspaper: "Although Wusheng Pass has been lost now, it can kill three thousand Beiyang Jingrui in one fell swoop, not to mention in Hubei, even if it is placed in the whole country, who dares to shoot Xiong Zheng?" Think you have a newspaper? Let me tell you, last night the telegraph office told me that it had been sent to Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and when so many newspapers were published, do you know what the situation will be? ”
Hu Ruilin took a deep breath and slowly spit out eight words: "Famous all over the world"
Tang Hualong also put away his smile and said solemnly: "Zihu's words are good, this Yang Qiu is obviously a very ambitious person, I still have to keep a snack." ”
"We must save the old fox this time." Hu Ruilin looked at Liu Gong and the others who were taken out by the military police, and took a long breath: "Look at Yang Qiu, none of the people have moved, but the old fox is positive." Shumi group 2 These are all soldiers sent by him, and he is going to protect himself."
"Now that Yang Qiu's momentum is soaring, he has to temporarily shrink his head, and take the first step to detain Sun Wu and these people and give them to him as gifts, hehe, start quickly," Tang Hualong turned his head and looked outside. The people who were inquiring about the wind outside saw that they all deliberately avoided their eyes, and then hid in the corner and sighed vigorously, and stomped their feet one after another, these are the people who Liu Gong took office and immediately gave gifts, but they didn't expect that it was only two days
Although they didn't bring torture equipment, the two gendarmes sandwiched a person, and obviously and unmistakably told everyone that the Sun Wu faction had completely collapsed, which made them regret it even more, and they really couldn't stand on the wrong side in the world, or would they wait to visit the deputy commander who was sitting in Hanyang?
Of course, Xiao Anguo didn't know that there were already countless hot eyes on his back, and when he saw Liu Gong's gloomy expression and being taken away by the military police, he was still a little sad in his heart, after all, this person scattered all his family wealth and was also a talent loyal to the country, but before he took a step, he was immediately stopped by Zhang Wenjing: "Commander Xiao, you can't be soft-hearted"
Xiao Anguo moved his mouth, and finally sighed and withdrew his feet, and said melancholy: "Actually, it's also comfortable to be a baggage pipe belt." ”
Zhang Wenjing understood what he meant. This scene made this honest deputy commander who had never been involved in politics a little heavy, but politics is politics, it is uglier and more filthy than the battlefield, either ready to go, or you live or die, there is no second way, so I thought about it and comforted: "Commander Xiao, don't take it to heart, the commander separates the military and the government, so I'm afraid you can't be separated from those recruits, but me." ”
"Hehe, so, these big things still depend on you, Lao Tzu still honestly goes back and farts with the soldiers." Xiao Anguo laughed, turned his head and saw Ma Kui trotting all the way over, seeing him smiling all the way, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Ma Kui didn't speak, shoved the telegram in his hand into his hand, and said with a smile: "See for yourself." ”
Xiao Anguo almost jumped up after taking the telegram and scanning his eyes, Zhang Wenjing was also full of surprise after reading it, and said: "What a good man, he really let him do it"
"Chongqing, Guang'an ()." Ma Kui triumphant: "This time let's see who can move us"
The laughter of the three of them also alarmed Tang Hualong and Hu Ruilin in the distance, and they hurriedly walked over and asked, "Deputy Commander, Director Zhang, why are you so happy?" Speaking out also makes me happy, and it just happens to increase everyone's momentum. ”
Xiao Anguo hurriedly stuffed the telegram into his pocket, deliberately looked at his watch and said with a smile: "Minister Tang and Director Hu are laughing, we have something happy about it, but the commander is coming back soon." ”
"Oh? Chenhua is coming back? ”
"The telegram said that Xiaogan was temporarily stable, and the train at 10 o'clock in the morning was almost here. Two people. ”
"When Chenhua comes back, I will naturally greet him in person."
Yang Qiu had returned, and the news spread like a whirlwind in the three towns, but when everyone rushed to the train station, they found that in addition to the wounded soldiers who were getting off the train, the young general who was in the middle of the day had already quietly arrived at the Advisory Bureau by ferry under the heavy protection of the guard company.
The military and political officials in the large meeting room of the Consultative Bureau came, but the seats that should have been filled were vacated a lot.
In the morning, after the news of the Wushengguan and Xiaogan incidents came back one after another, it immediately triggered the strongest movement of the military and government, and what everyone did not expect was that Li Yuanhong took the lead in making a move before Hanyang made a move, and beat up the Sun Wu faction on several charges of recommending unfavorable, destroying unity, and forming a party and camping, not only detaining Sun Wu himself, but also detaining more than 60 members of the Sun Wu faction, including Zhang Zhenwu, Liu Gong, Li Xiping, Tang Zihong, etc.
Although everyone knows that this is the old fox's self-preservation strategy, and he wants to send him a big gift before Yang Qiu returns, but as Zhang Wenjing said, the political struggle is extremely cruel, although they are all ** comrades, so not only did the society not help this time, but because the Communist Party monopolized power before, he resented and looked on coldly, and Ju Zheng, Cai Jimin and other military and political officials and party officers with prestige in the army were not willing to offend Yang Qiu at this time, which eventually led to the power of Sun Wu's faction in the military and political fu was immediately swept away. As a result, there are a lot of chairs in the large conference room at once.
No one sat on it, because everyone knew who it was for, and even the old fox couldn't get the idea of hitting these chairs at the moment.
It was in this atmosphere that Yang Qiu arrived at the large conference room. The combined new military uniform, the shiny riding boots, the posture of the pen, and the six days of bloody battle, killing three thousand Beiyang in one breath Everyone secretly swallowed their saliva, and when he walked towards Li Yuanhong, even Zhang Wenjing behind him was sweating in his palms, and Ju Zheng was waiting with a blue face.
Li Yuanhong is still the same, short and fat with small eyes, looking honest and honest, Yang Qiu used to despise him when he saw the words Chuáng Xia Dudu, but this time in order to protect himself, the means of dealing with Sun Wu proved that Li Butcher was more suitable for him than Li Bodhisattva.
The two of them approached slowly, their eyes facing each other, and neither of them opened first. Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, Yang Qiucai suddenly stopped his steps and saluted: "Chenhua has seen Li Du. ”
A sentence of Li Du made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and the féirou on Li Yuanhong's face suddenly piled up, and he held Yang Qiu's hand and said cordially: "Chenhua, you are finally back, it must be hard to defend Wusheng Pass these days, right?" Good pit to kill 3,000 Beiyang, from now on the Northern Army will no longer dare to laugh at our Southern Army is unmanned"
Li Yuanhong laughed, looking like Yang Qiu was the pearl he had unearthed, which made those officers such as Cai Jimin, who had been disappointed in politics, have pimples all over their bodies, and Ju Zheng also hurriedly echoed: "What Li Du said is extremely true, and in a few days, Chenhua's prestige will definitely be famous all over the world." ”
"Thank you Mr. Li Duhe for the compliment, Yang Qiu now just wants to defeat Beiyang as soon as possible to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and achieve a republic" Yang Qiu smiled slightly, took off his hat and held it in his hand, and was just about to sit down when he suddenly found that there was a lot of vacancy, and asked deliberately: "Minister Sun, they." ”
"Zhang Jingliang betrayed **, Sun Wu's recommendation was unfavorable, and the party camp Si has been dismissed by Li Du." Wang Anlan had completely put away his contempt, and immediately told Li Yuanhong about investigating Sun Wu, Yang Qiu didn't see any expression after hearing it, and said lightly: "Li Du, Zhang Jingliang and his accomplices are outside, do you see if it's ()." ”
"Take Zhang Jingliang" Li Yuanhong was anxious to settle this matter as soon as possible, so he hurriedly summoned someone to bring him, Zhang Jingliang was really as stubborn as recorded in later generations, and scolded vigorously, so angry that everyone's faces changed slightly, and even those who sympathized with Sun Wu before also put away their thoughts.
In fact, the next trial was no longer necessary, Zhang Jingliang admitted all the things about assassinating Yang Qiu and burning the grain, and finally Li Yuanhong made a decision, and immediately pushed out a cadre and others to behead the public. The dozens of bloody heads made people see the weather vane clearly, and Tang Hualong and other constitutionalists were even more down, and they had the posture of killing the Sun Wu faction together, because the old fox did not express his position on this matter, everyone's eyes finally focused on Yang Qiu.
"Notify the whole country, expel the ** team, send back to your hometown, and study hard to educate people." With Yang Qiu waved his hand lightly. In the parallel world, the Sun Wu faction, which had only a few months to fall, has since vanished. Ju Zheng and Cai Jimin were also relieved about this decision, after all, Sun Wu and others also made great contributions in the early days, and it was only the party members themselves who were killed and injured in the end.
After solving this matter, Cai Jimin took the lead in asking, "Commander Yang, how is Xiaogan doing?" ”
"I have temporarily stabilized the morale of the army, and the stragglers who fled were also blocked by our army in the area of Xingou, and now it is under the joint management of He Xi, Zhang Tingfu and He Xifan, but the loss of grain and straw is serious, and the ordnance is also insufficient, I estimate that the Beiyang Striker will arrive in Xiaochang in three days at the latest, so." Yang Qiu swept everyone away, and his eyes stopped on Li Yuanhong's face: "Please also ask Governor Li to decide on the candidate for commander as soon as possible, and control the two armies to resist the enemy together."
Hearing this, Tang Hualong and others, who had already had secret contact, immediately supported Yang Qiu as the commander-in-chief, Li Yuanhong hurriedly looked at Ju Zheng with his eyes, in fact, Ju Zheng didn't want all the military power to be monopolized by Yang Qiu, but the problem was that he couldn't come up with a candidate at the moment, and finally had to look at Cai Jimin with his eyes.
Yang Qiu had already seen every move of the three of them, and knew that Li Yuanhong still wanted to struggle at the end, so he glanced at Zhang Wenjing, who immediately stood up and said, "Li Du, before deciding on the candidates for the commander, there is still a major matter to be announced. ”
"Oh? What's up? ”
After Li Yuanhong glanced at Yang Qiu, who was sitting still, he turned to Zhang Wenjing and asked with a smile: "It is said that Wenjing is brave and strategic, I don't know what good news it has brought us this time?" ”
Zhang Wenjing directly blocked this kind of pun on the other, and slowly took out the telegram from his pocket: "The telegram I just received, yesterday afternoon, our army has won Chongqing and Guang'an (). ”
"Chongqing? Quang An"
In just one sentence, it seems that he has taken all the strength of Li Yuanhong, and also made the conference room explode again, no one expected that Yang Qiu would quietly send troops into Sichuan and take Chongqing and Guang'an, which means that unconsciously, Sichuan has also begun to be gradually incorporated into the Hubei military and political system, and into the system of the Right Route Army, once they continue to go deeper, who can stop the current Sichuan luà?
The happiest is undoubtedly Tang Hualong and others, wouldn't it be exciting if the civil power of Sichuan was also included in their hands, and all the ambitions were sent out by this unexpected news, only Li Yuanhong was silent, and there was no trace of emotional change on his round face, but in fact, he knew better than anyone that this time he had already lost a lot, because after taking Chongqing and Guang'an, Yang Qiu could completely abandon him, and the Right Route Army could also go north in the name of supporting Sichuan without any scruples.
He didn't say this news before, but he took it out at the most critical time of everyone's struggle for military power, undoubtedly reminding himself, don't rush him So, now is the time to compromise Thinking of this, Li Yuanhong leaned in a little closer, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It is said that young people are heroes, and today the old man finally saw it, Chenhua is a good means"
"Neither are you?" Yang Qiu smiled slightly and put on his military hat again.
On the evening of 27 October, in the large conference room of the Hubei Consultative Bureau, Li Yuanhong, in front of nearly 100 military and political officials and reporters, formally appointed Yang Qiu as commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces in the name of the Hubei military and political officials and the governor of Shouyi
