At the same time that Wuchang ushered in the secret envoy from the north, the soldiers who participated in the night attack also returned to Weidian with their heads held high, and at the cost of less than fifty people, they achieved five hundred kills of the enemy, six cannons, two machine guns, and dozens of carts of ammunition and grain The results are really nothing in a big battle, but at this moment it is a hearty victory, so as soon as they entered the camp, they were pulled by their comrades who had been waiting for a long time and asked carefully, especially when the cannons and shells were dragged back, the entire Weidian, Even the entire Xiaogan front line resounded with cheers.

Most of the brigade commanders of the divisions who received the order came, and because Yue Peng was personally organizing and training troops in the Tianmén area, the first division was represented by Wu Zhaolin and Shi Xiaolou, and the second division all rushed here, except for some people who had not yet returned, and the rest of the third division rushed here, and immediately packed the small Weidian command room.

Yang Qiu habitually took off his hat and hooked it on his fingers, looking at his bloodshot eyes, several division and brigade commanders were a little sad, everyone knew why this young commander was going to attack Chenjiaao at night as soon as he came, and they also saw that he was sincere in fighting this war again, so he would rather take risks than fight to appease the front line with victory.

"Commander, you are majestic, but you have worried us all night, and last night Deputy Commander Xiao called and scolded us." He Xi is the old man of the Right Army, and he opened the conversation first with a smile.

Wu Zhaolin was really ready to follow Yang Qiu, so he also said reproachfully: "Commander, don't take risks next time, you are the commander, responsible for controlling the overall situation, in case of loss, it is still us who loses." ”

As soon as the two spoke, Cai Jimin and the others also said that they wanted him not to work hard next time, which made the atmosphere in the command room much better, and Yang Qiu also knew that he should not go into battle in person, after all, he was now commanding an army instead of a company, and nodded: "I know how to do it, everyone rest assured ()." After finishing speaking, he turned the topic to the current situation: "Which association is going south from Beiyang?" Is it clear? ”

"It's 11 hun into the association, the co-commander is Li Chun, two infantry standards, a horse standard plus two artillery battalions, as well as baggage and engineering. After the 13th bid fled north last night, he had already joined them, and according to the time, he should be able to return to Chenjiaao in the afternoon. Cai Jimin is now a staff officer, so he is not polite and immediately walked to the map to introduce to everyone: "In addition to the 11th Association, this morning quickly reported that Wang Yujia of the Fourth Town has led the Seventh Association, Ma Biao and the Engineering Battalion through Guangshui, and he will be able to come here tomorrow at the latest." ”

"It's going to be a tough battle, two associations, except for one artillery battalion, it's basically a complete town, and the cavalry is slightly exceeded. "Zhang Tingfu took a deep breath after listening to it, and analyzed the strength of the enemy and us: "One division and three brigades on our side, one town and two associations in Beiyang, the number is superior, but the artillery is slightly inferior, so it should still be able to block it." Now that Wang Zhanyuan's department has been disabled, Feng Huafu has ordered him to garrison Wusheng Pass and no longer go south, Henan 29 Hun Chengxie is not as strong as our old eight towns, so the most important thing is the main force behind Feng Huafu Sanxie, there are two artillery targets in these three conciliations, twenty-four machine gun teams, I think the third division must be pulled to Xiaogan immediately just in case. ”

"Eighty percent of the three divisions are recruits, and it is too much to use when they are pulled up, in my opinion, it is better to transfer the third division to the Qingshan Defense Water Division, and transfer the first division and three brigades, Cheng Bingrong has two thousand of our old brothers in his hands, and it is really a làng fee to spend on monitoring the water division in vain."

"The naval artillery is too powerful, and the shelling of Qingshan the day before yesterday can be seen, if they go upriver to Wuchang, even if there is a Guishan Fort to block it, it will be difficult to block it, I think Cheng Bingrong still can't move."

Wu Zhaolin saw that everyone had a lot of opinions, and reminded: "Our first division still has two brigades, the first brigade is in Tianmén, and the second brigade is in Yingcheng, backed by the Dahong Mountain moat. ”

Yang Qiu didn't interfere with the discussion in the command room, and the soldiers pressed the realm just as an opportunity to test them, so he just pricked up his ears to listen, and as for how to fight, he already had some numbers in his heart. Shi Xiaolou saw that he hadn't spoken, and when he was about to ask, Chen Guofu suddenly walked in: "Commander, Henan 29 Hun Chengxie Liu Chengen is here, saying that he wants to see you ()." ”

Liu Chengen? Everyone was still saying that Henan 29 Association was not to worry about just now, but I didn't expect that the Association would kill Mén, although everyone wanted to know what he was doing, but he named and wanted to see Yang Qiu, so they all got up and prepared to avoid it.

"Sit down." Yang Qiu naturally knew what Liu Chengen was doing, so he beckoned everyone to sit down and said: "There is nothing to say to people, we are the first army, there is no need to hide it, bring him in." ”

Chen Guofu immediately brought Liu Chengen in, he was nearly fifty years old and stunned when he saw so many people in the command room, but he was not a máo head boy who couldn't hold his breath, and when he saw Yang Qiu sitting in the middle, he immediately guessed his identity, and arched his hand: "Liu Chengen has seen Commander Yang." ”

"Mr. Haochun is polite, Yang is just a junior compared to you." Yang Qiu smiled slightly, got up and beckoned him to sit down, and asked, "I don't know why Mr. suddenly came to me?" You and I are still opponents, are the 29 Associations ready to make a move? If this is the case, open your mouth where you can use your brother. ”

Liu Chengen is also almost fifty years old, in his early years, he gambled on the streets of xinghun, and later was forced to be admitted to the Beishen Wubei Academy because of his life, and was recruited by Yuan Shikai to become a staff member, so he can be regarded as a person with rich experience, but the first time he saw such a direct person, he couldn't help but secretly look at Yang Qiu, saying that this young commander was stunned, he definitely didn't believe it, how could a person who could beat Feng Huafu to the point of almost getting sick be stupid, he must have deliberately broken his face to know that he was in charge of the 29 Hun Chengxie completely by Yuan Shikai behind him, Therefore, everyone has always regarded this army as the Beiyang system, how could they rebel against the Beiyang, and immediately said with a straight face: "It is said that Chenhua is a straight son, and today it is not true." ”

"Hehe, soldier, there are not so many bends, Mr. might as well say it directly."

"Chenhua is quick to talk, and I won't hide it." Liu Chengen immediately said: "Chenhua's prestige is now known to the whole country, and the Hubei army is even more vigorous, do you really think so?" ”

Liu Chengen said eloquently: "Although Wushengguan has been hit hard, Chen Jiaao has also lost his troops, but Chenhua should know that these losses are only a skin máo for Beiyang." Now that the imperial court has a decree, the ministers of the government, Prince Qing, Natong, etc., have been vacant, so that Yuan Gongbao, the prime minister of the cabinet, is also preparing to hold a cabinet election next year, has marked the constitutional determination, and the legations of various countries have expressed their support, and the palace guard does not want the two armies to continue to fight, after all, we are all Han people, and the loss of Hubei is also the silver of our Han people, so Liu was specially sent to persuade Chen Hua to give up resistance (). As long as Chen Hua agrees, Gong Bao promises to ensure that you will be the Minister of the Army, and give you the real power of the first army and three towns, so as to keep the peace of Hubei forever for our Han people. ”

The Minister of War has real power in one army and three towns

There was a buzz in the command room, and there were many discussions, Wu Zhaolin and the others didn't expect Yuan Shikai to pay such a big price, and they might be moved if they were themselves, but Yang Qiu knew who Yuan Shikai was, and said with a smile on his face: "Please Mr. Haochun take me Thank you for your kindness, but also help me bring a word." ”

Yang Qiu got up and walked to the entrance of Mén, looked at the soldiers who were looking this way outside, and said slowly: "Gong Bao was a good governor of Zhili before, why did he open a vacancy?" Now there is a luàn matter, and I ask Gong Bao to come out. If they really want to fight, why don't they ask the Manchurians to bring the first town? It can be seen that the banner people have a jiān heart, the world is beginning to move, it is the opportunity for our generation to make contributions, at this time if the Manchu Qing is not overthrown, do you want to wait for them to recover and then kill us? As for the constitutional election, after the Gengzi year, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has already rotted its roots, if we continue to sit on the head of the Manchu Tartar emperor, how can Yang face the dead brother"

"If Gong Bao really has a heart, then please ask him to immediately let Beiyang withdraw from Hubei, as long as the troops retreat and win the pass, what Yang Qiu said is still valid, not only support him to be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, but Yang can also swear here, the day Gong Bao agrees is the time when Yang retired"

The generosity of his words, especially the remarks that he would rather retire in exchange for peace in the end, made everyone secretly admire, but Liu Chengen was not moved by him, and deliberately sighed and said: "Hey Chenhua doesn't know, Gong Bao also wants a republic, but now the republic is not mature, and there is no conclusion on who will be the country after the republic, so." ”

Want to test my hole cards? Yang Qiu smiled coldly in his heart, he already had an idea about this matter, so he immediately waved his hand: "There is no need to discuss this, Lord Liu can ask everyone here why do we want to **?" The Manchu Qing Dynasty has no way, and our generation has risen up because of Mr. Sun Wen's call, so I personally support Mr. Sun for the post of president, but when the marshal and vice president Yang is still willing to support the palace guard."

"Right"

"Mr. Sun is my ** mentor, who can be a country other than him?"

"Yes, Gong Bao will be the vice president and marshal of the soldiers and horses, and Mr. Sun will be the president, so that the country will be quickly stabilized and the Han family will be revived."

On that day, Yang Qiu also put up a big banner, and now it seems that Mr. Sun's brand is still very useful, and even the most conservative officers have stood up to express their support for Sun Wen as president, and Yuan Shikai as vice president.

But for some reason, looking at the crowd of excited people, he felt a little guilty.

He is indeed taking advantage of the enthusiasm of the best, and also taking advantage of everyone's expectations for Sun Wen to become the president and realize the republic. But he actually knows best that unless the Northern Expedition can be realized, otherwise Sun Wen will not want to cross Beiyang to become the president, and when Sun Wen resigns, these people will definitely feel betrayed, and then they will accelerate to get closer to themselves and just use the lives of tens of thousands of people as bargaining chips, is it too cruel?

Are you going to be a warlord, or are you helping the country? At that moment, he was a little uneasy. Of course, Liu Chengen didn't know what he thought, and when he heard the reply, his face suddenly became unnatural, and he said coldly: "It seems that Chenhua is unwilling to compromise." ”

"Yang Qiu can have today's love of the soldiers, they can't let them down if they entrust their brothers with their lives, and they can't destroy everyone's ideals for Siyu, please tell the palace guard, Yang is just a soldier and a constitution, please don't say it again, as for the matter of the republic." Yang Qiu took a breath, skimmed off his distracting thoughts and glanced at everyone: "Everything will wait for Mr. Sun to return to China."

Liu Chengen left, and this result was obviously not what he and the person behind him wanted, so Li Chun's 11th Association rushed in the afternoon. In the evening, the first shell fell on Weidian Town, following the defense of Wushengguan, the largest, but also the largest number of people invested in Xinhai, the most tragic Xiaogan defense battle began
