"Everyone is gone, why are you still standing here stupidly, what are you thinking?"

Yan Nuxia looked at Hu Dashuai, who was standing in front of the door, and asked strangely.

Following Hu Rui's line of sight, the slightly drunk Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaohuai supported each other, and under the guidance of the guards, they happily walked towards the temporary guest house near the headquarters.

"I'm thinking about the old moon!"

Hu Rui didn't look back, and replied without a head.

“？！”

Okay, even Yan Nuxia, who is scheming and has a strong ability to bear in her heart, was confused by Hu Rui's brainless words. Rolling his eyes, not knowing how to continue, he stood there at a loss.

At 5 o'clock in the morning of June 18, 1913, just after the dawn of the day, Jiang Baili, then the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, suddenly summoned more than 2,000 teachers and students in the school to give an urgent lecture. He was dressed in a yellow tweed military uniform, with a long-handled saber hanging from his waist, and shiny riding boots, standing on the stone steps of Shangwutang with a sad face: "When I first arrived at the school, I swore that what I wanted you to do, you must do it; What you want me to do, I must do. If you can't do it, I will punish you; I can't do it, and I'm going to punish myself. Now it seems that I have failed to do my duty...... You must summon up the courage to take on the great responsibility of China's future!" Then he shot himself in front of all the teachers and students of the school!

Fortunately, this bullet did not take the life of this well-known modern Chinese military theorist. The teachers and students of the whole school who were not possessed by the soul hurriedly rushed forward and hurriedly sent Jiang Baili for treatment.

According to the historical records of later generations, the cause of this sensational suicide incident originated from Yuan Shikai, who was the president of the Beiyang government at that time. After Jiang Baili took office as the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, he submitted a petition to the Ministry of War according to the actual situation of the military academy. Hoping to improve school affairs, it was rejected. Under the grief and indignation, there was this major event that caused a sensation throughout the country at that time.

This matter originated from Lao Yuan, and during Jiang Baili's hospitalization, Yuan Shikai specially invited a Japanese doctor to come for treatment. After getting out of danger, the Japanese doctor patted his ass and left, leaving a beautiful nurse named Sato Yako to take care of Jiang Baili (the prelude to the temptation of uniform). During the period of recuperation, Jiang Baili, who had a strong and proud temperament, was discouraged and insisted on refusing to stay in the world. And Sato Yako, who is in charge of escorting, is Japanese. But he has a kind heart.

"Be patient, patience is the spiritual pillar of the brave. If we can't endure it, how can we do great things in the future? ”

Japan's famous "forbearance formula" was used by this kind-hearted beautiful female nurse to enlighten Jiang Baili, who was in a dead mood, and Jiang Baili, who rekindled the hope of life in the following days, got closer and closer to this kind girl from the enemy country during the recuperation period. Finally came together.

After the two got married, Sato House changed its name to Jiang Baizuomei. gave birth to four children for Jiang Baili. Hundreds of plum blossoms have even been planted in Haining. I hope that the old man can return to this place. After Jiang Baili died of illness in Guangxi in 1938, this Japanese lady received rejection and difficulties from all sides because of her background. But in the face of her four children who were waiting to be fed, this Japanese lady carried all the sadness and grievances alone, raised her children with hard work, and never returned to Japan for life. Japanese has never been used in the education of children!

"Tear up the marriage, what should I do about this......"

Thinking that Jiang Baili "won glory for the country" and married a Japanese lady was disturbed by him, Hu Rui, who was convinced that "I would rather demolish ten houses than one marriage", was embarrassed. Originally established history. Because his appearance has changed again, the current Jiang Baili can definitely be regarded as complacent, the principal of the Wuhu Army Military Academy and the deputy chief of the general staff of the Anhui Revolutionary Army, both delicious and beautiful, how can he go to Beiyang! But you can't send someone to Japan, arrest all the people called Sato House, and then pull Lang to match, right?

"Tsk, it's hard, it's really hard......"

On the way back to the bedroom by Yan Nuxia, Hu Rui muttered to himself.

"At present, the artistic conception of our Anhui army has confirmed the name of a strong army, Hanyang defeated the Beiyang Army twice, annihilated the 11th mixed alliance, killed the assistant commander Li Chun, and captured more than 1,000 officers and soldiers. But this name is big, and it's easy to do bad things, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong! We can now be regarded as walking on the gap of the sword, every move needs to be cautious, Beiyang is still a behemoth, and there is the support of the British behind us, we can't easily challenge, otherwise it is easy to lose both. Nanjing's gang of cannons are very noisy, but after all, Mr. Sun is a revolutionary leader who dares to be the first in the world, and although the many uprisings organized before have failed, the prestige of Mr. Sun and the League in China and among the people is still beyond doubt. In any case, people still have a sense of righteousness. At present, both sides of the peace talks between the north and the south are trying to win us over for their own use, and it is better to be quiet than to move. ”

"Since ancient times, the Central Plains have been chased, and those who win the Central Plains will win the world. Having said that, but at present, natural disasters and man-made disasters in Hebei are frequent, Beiyang and Manchu have practiced and looted, the land is barren, and the people are miserable. ”

"Having said that, the Central Plains region is indeed an important place for soldiers to fight, and it is only a matter of time before the Central Plains is dispatched."

"Zhang Xun took the remnants to Beiyang, and is now licking his wounds in Xuzhou, Xuzhou is far away from the first line of Bengbu, if the Northern War rises again, Bengbu may be the first to bear the brunt!"

After drinking and talking for most of the night, the crowd who finally squinted for a while until more than 2 o'clock in the morning did not feel sleepy at all. Changed into the unique army green military uniform of the Anhui Army, and the two golden double shining gold stars on his shoulders were dazzling. This will be Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaohuai, who are in the prime of life, and they will feel like they will see the sun. In the headquarters of the Anhui Army stationed in Hubei, Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaohuai, as well as the mixed Sino-German staff team, expressed their opinions together on the huge sand table in the middle.

"Dashuai, Beijing Station Secret Telegram."

After greeting Shen Bin, an intelligence staff officer and adjutant, the big man handed over a telegram in response.

"The Beiyang Army's Zhao Kui troops forced Tongguan. Cao Kun's Lu Yongxiang Department approached Niangzi Pass, and the situation in Taiyuan was precarious. Yan Xishan had already sent a telegram to the governors of the seventeen provinces asking for help. It seems that Yuan Shikai has been prepared for a long time, according to the strength and combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army, Yan Xishan will definitely not be able to hold Shanxi. The reason why we are holding our troops now is because we are afraid of us, and secondly, I am afraid that it is also to put pressure on Nanjing. ”

Hu Rui put down the telegram and sneered.

A man like Yuan Shikai is so cunning, if he wants him to sit down peacefully and honestly, what can he talk about, dream! Promote peace and take the world lightly with war. He Yuan Shikai is aiming for the world, how can he allow the guy who is talking on the side to share his world? The North-South peace talks are pure wishful thinking on the part of the Alliance.

"What do the governors of the seventeen provinces say?"

Jiang Baili took the telegram and looked at it, and asked inquiringly.

"Report to Chief of Staff Chiang, Nanjing's words gradually soothed the birds. The telegram also warned Yan Xishan that during the period of the peace talks between the north and the south, he would take liberty to sabotage peace. It will definitely be crusaded against by the people of the world. The implication. It was the Beiyang Army that did not dare to attack, and Yan Xishan was also told to restrain himself. The governors of other provinces, except for Hu Hanmin of Guangdong, said that if the Beiyang Army attacked Tongguan and Niangziguan, for the sake of the revolutionary righteousness and the victory of Zuihou, the Guangdong People's Army would never let the Shaanxi People's Army fight alone. The Guangdong People's Army must select elite backs to support. ”

The big guy is in the Ministry of Intelligence, and the news in all aspects is naturally the most well-informed, so he didn't dare to slack off, and replied immediately.

"It's all logic. It's pure nonsense! ”

Jiang Baili here has not yet expressed his opinion, but Zhang Xiaohuai shouted with black lines on his face.

When he joined the Alliance, Huang Xing, the number one military cadre in the Alliance, was his introducer. From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Xiaohuai still instinctively has a closeness and identification with Huang Xinghe and the Alliance. However, what Huang Xing did in Wuchang before did surprise the majority of democrats, including Zhang Xiaohuai. At the same time, he was disappointed, but also had a slight suspicion of the organization of the Alliance.

"Some people are not very capable, but their ambition is not small. The reason why Beiyang did not move was because he was afraid of us, and because he wanted to take this opportunity to put pressure on Nanjing. The aftermath has not yet been negotiated, and Beiyang will not raise troops on a large scale at this stage, and this north-south peace talks are purely delaying time, and Yuan Shikai will not allow anyone to touch his cake at all! Wait for the aftermath to borrow a lot, hum! ”

Hu Rui snorted disdainfully.

Hu Hanmin didn't say it, in parallel time and space, this product was finally squeezed out by the bald guy. From the perspective of political concepts and yours, this thing is also the same naïve person as Sun Cannon, and it is all played to death! On the one hand, it estimated the existence of the thorn in the Anhui army, and on the other hand, it not only put pressure on the revolutionary party in the south, but also paved the way for future military offensives. It's a pity that the blind man was thrown at the flattering eyes, and the Nanjing side took it for granted that the entire Beiyang, from Yuan Shikai to the officers who commanded the troops below, did not dare to risk the condemnation of the world to start a war during the peace talks. As everyone knows, people don't plan to sit down and talk about it at all, and the seemingly lively North-South peace talks are actually just a trick to delay time. Combined with the matter of the old Yuan Emperor in later generations, this product is definitely an ambitious but absolutely superstitious lord of force and power. The people's hearts and public opinions, Lao Yuan will not take it to heart, as long as there is a strong Beiyang army, will he dare to rebel? (The same is true of Duan Qirui, who made three republics in history, who was excessively superstitious about force, thus ignoring the people)

"Runnon, why be angry, there are some things that they will not listen to, even if they are spoken. That's it, let them go, let's just don't follow in our own footsteps. ”

Jiang Baili smiled bitterly and said with relief.

Fundamentally, Jiang Baili is a fan of Liang Qichao and a complete constitutionalist. And Zhang Xiaohuai joined the League after Huang Xing's introduction, and he is an out-and-out revolutionary party and democrat. Jiang Baili was naturally very uninterested in Nanjing, if it were not for witnessing the decay and unbearable of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, coupled with the intrigue and private military atmosphere within the Beiyang Group, Jiang Baili would never have chosen to come to Wuchang to defect to the Anhui army. Although Zhang Xiaohuai was dissatisfied with some of Huang Xinghe's practices of the Alliance, he was motivated by his own experience. From the bottom of my heart, I still have a strong sense of identity with the organization. It is not surprising that the two reacted very differently.

Behind the two of them, the chief of the general staff, Berman, straightened the tie on his shirt and walked around the sand table by himself, completely outside. The Franco-Prussian War veteran was born into the Junker aristocracy, and his family traditions and arrogance to the bone made him extremely disgusted with military participation in politics (before the establishment of the Third Reich, the Wehrmacht generals were extremely reluctant to political activities in Germany at that time). In his eyes, the military surrounds the country, not a political party. This is the real Wehrmacht! Before retiring from the German army, he was already a colonel, and he could be regarded as returning home. As a Junker aristocrat, he was completely dismissive of military advisers to local warlords who went to China. But perhaps to verify Napoleon, who swept across Europe. Regarding the Chinese "sleeping lion", when Gubirov came to the door on behalf of the Krupp family. He chose to take a look anyway.

As Chief of the General Staff. The current situation of the Anhui army was very satisfying to the German chief of staff who had traveled across the ocean. Especially after the recent separation of military and political affairs, the elder Berman almost did his best, vowing to help build a strong force comparable to the German Wehrmacht in the ancient country of the far East! This army is defending the country as a whole, not a single party or individual.

"Old Hu, Tang Shaoyi has a telegram. said that there was something important, and I hope to meet and discuss it in detail. ”

Sanniang leaned into her ear with a solemn face and whispered.

"Heh, it's time to talk about conditions. It seems that Yuan Shikai was really hurt by us, at least this will spare no effort to win us over. The silver sent to the door, don't be in vain, I'll go for it! ”

Hu Rui looked at the crowd in front of the headquarters and whispered to himself.

"Shen Bin, prepare the car, inform Leng Zhenfeng, select a platoon from the guard, come with the pistol team, and follow me!"

Looking at the pouring rain outside the window, Hu Rui summoned Adjutant Shen Bin and arranged.

"Dashuai, are you bringing a little more people? At present, Hankou is still in the hands of Beiyang, and the local faction in Wuchang is not stable, so we have dissociated ourselves from the group of mouth cannons in Nanjing, which is ......"

Shen Bin was embarrassed, and now there are many people who think that Hu Rui died unexpectedly. There are more than 200 people in the guard, and the full number of guards is only 50 people, and the pistol team that does not leave an inch is full of 70 people. It's going to happen to something, so what's going on?

"As it is, a platoon plus the skills of the guys from the cold frightening wind and the pistol team, ordinary visitors can't easily get it! If I really get into big trouble, I'll take the whole guard with me, and that's for nothing! Go for it~"

Hu Rui patted Shen Bin on the shoulder, stopped the loyal adjutant from continuing to persuade him, and commanded.

"Sanniang, I'll go back as soon as I go, let's try to get back the money for the dowry and wedding this time! Hmph, I'll teach you meat buns to beat dogs and there is no return! ”

Hu Rui pulled Sanniang and slipped out of the battle hall, looked at no one on the left and right, and joked with a wicked smile.

"Poof~ just you can! Stay safe, I'll just wait for you to come back. ”

Yan Nuxia, who was accustomed to being teased, picked up the file folder and patted Hu Rui lightly, and then said uneasily.

Sooner or later, it's your people, I've seen my parents, and I've shared the same bed, except for not breaking through that zuihou step, this pair is like a small couple. The third grandmother is a traditional and stubborn girl, and her childhood experience made her particularly eager to be loved, and at the same time, she was extremely picky about feelings. If she made a vow of "life is the same, death is the same hole", then this is a lifetime, she will do whatever it takes to love, even if it is to go to Huangquan together.

"Quick, a row of cars in front and behind, one is responsible for exploring the way, and the other is responsible for breaking the back! Move fast and set up the machine gun! ”

After receiving the order, Leng Jingfeng immediately began to execute.

On two 1.5-ton Ford trucks that have been modified to bulletproof, a tower-like object covered in canvas stands out. The canvas was uncovered, and a 360-degree probation gun rack was enclosed by a circle of homogeneous steel plates 8 mm thick. Two machine gunners mounted a Maxim heavy machine gun with a hollowed-out barrel on the gun carriage, and the yellow chain and bolt were covered with tarpaulin. This was prevented by the Anqing Manufacturing Bureau according to the drawings of the Luftwaffe airborne MG08 aviation machine gun provided by Hu Rui during the First World War. The bulky water cooling cylinder has been removed and replaced by hollowed-out heat dissipation holes. This extremely strong is a huge improvement in weight and volume without the removal of bulky water cooling cylinders, while maintaining the same firepower and consistency. Ideal for use in confined spaces and on carriers with strict load capacity restrictions. However, due to the high cost and the complexity of the process, the constant is very low. Even the most precious security internal security units and special operations regiments were not installed, and the first few produced were all delivered to the guards.

Soon, two Ford 1.5-ton trucks equipped with snow chains and bulletproof steel plates escorted four identical-looking Ford 1908 four-wheeled sedans on the road. On the truck, the machine gunners hiding behind the rainproof cloth waited solemnly, and the officers and men in the same car also opened the shooting holes on the carriage one after another, preparing to deal with emergencies. The rain was so heavy that someone had to choose to stab at this time. The reaction time of the guards will be greatly extended. Therefore, from the cold and frightened wind to all the officers and soldiers of the guard who were present, they were all paying close attention to the streets in the heavy rain.

The rain was so heavy that it almost obscured the sky. Although it will still be noon, the weather will be dark and raining heavily. There are very few pedestrians and vehicles on the streets. Therefore, the journey is naturally safe and sound, and the tires with snow chains are more than comfortable with bad road conditions on rainy days. The convoy headed towards Tang Shaoyi's residence. Just passing by an intersection at the same time. A black kerosene car drove in the shadows, and when it passed by the convoy again, it suddenly lost control and crashed headfirst into the bed of the head-scratching Ford truck.

"Be careful!"

"Da Da Da ......"

The shooter on the machine gun tower shouted, and before the words fell, the loud clatter of the Makqin tore through the gray rain and fog. A short burst of bullets blew the engine of the out-of-control black car. Without motivation, I love the speed at home. The black car, which had lost control, used this inertia to rush forward for several meters, and finally came to a sudden stop about a meter away from the Ford truck that was in the head.

"Quick, protect the marshal!"

The entire convoy came to an abrupt halt, and the leading officer shouted loudly and took the lead in stirring up Bobosha in his arms. Jumped out of the car and slowly moved towards the black sedan in a tactical formation of the three-three system.

"What's going on?!"

Stumbled by the sudden brakes, Hu Rui, who was napping, was awakened and hurriedly asked.

"It's not clear, Dashuai, just now a black sedan suddenly lost control and crashed into the Ford truck we headed at, and now the car has been stopped, and the brothers are checking the situation."

Leng Jingfeng picked up the pistol, silently blocked the glass with his body, and replied lightly.

When the officer who was in the head opened the car door with his gun in his hand, he suddenly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and stood there at a loss as if he had been electrocuted.

"Knock knock, captain, it's really evil, you'd better come and see for yourself, this ......"

A lieutenant ran over and knocked on his suit, stumbling in embarrassment.

"What's going on, weishenme is like a ghost?"

Without waiting for Leng Fengfeng to answer, Hu Rui took the lead in frowning and asked.

"Report to the marshal, this ...... This ......"

The lieutenant stumbled and couldn't come up with a reason.

"Say it boldly!"

Hu Rui reluctantly accentuated his tone.

"Report to the marshal, there is a girl in the car, exactly the same as Minister Yan! It's just a little younger! ”

Gritting his teeth, the lieutenant who came to report the news said in one breath.

"Exactly the same?! Younger?! Wind Lotus! Ye Feng Lotus! Quick, get out of the way! ”

The electric light flashed in his mind, and then he changed his previous calm and atmosphere, and exclaimed in a lost voice. Ignoring the cold frightening wind and the obstruction of the guards accompanying the car, he hurriedly got out of the car, and walked towards the black car surrounded by a police guard.

"Brother, brother, what's wrong with you, brother?"

When I walked to the car door, I saw a young girl wearing a long western dress in a colorful silk dress, desperately shaking a young man who was lying unconscious on the steering wheel. The car door was opened, the wind swept and the rain wet the girl's thin dress, and the wet little girl shook the unconscious young man lying on the steering wheel over and over again with a crying voice.

is a pure big beauty who can pinch out the water, which will bring rain to the pear blossoms, adding to the charm. Chu Chu's pitiful appearance made this group of iron-blooded men who had been trained on the battlefield at a loss for the first time.

"Dashuai, look at this ......"

When the officer who took the lead saw his commander coming up, he immediately stepped out of the way and said in embarrassment.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, brother?"

Completely ignoring the large group of people standing outside, the girl was crying, desperately trying to wake up her brother who was lying unconscious on the steering wheel.

"Put it on, don't freeze!"

took off his regular coat and lifted the soaked girl through the pouring rain. Afterwards, they talked about the young man's snort and pulse.

"No breath, no pulse, still saved! Med, do we have a medic in the car?! ”

Hu Rui let the military uniform on his body get wet from the heavy rain, and the water was carried down the brim of the big-brimmed hat, and he shouted loudly while doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"Yes, Medic! Military! Come and save people! ”

When the officer at the head heard his commander's words, he was pardoned, and this honest and enthusiastic man shouted in the heavy rain.

"Brothers, take a hand and try to level him down!"

Specially trained military doctors arrived, unbuttoned their raincoats, and beckoned their brothers to help.

"Cardiac arrest, girl, your brother has to be rushed to the hospital."

The military doctor wiped his cold sweat and kindly persuaded.

"No, I don't! I want to go home! ”

The tears that had been held back for a long time could no longer be controlled, overflowed from the eye sockets, and replied stubbornly.

"Girl, human life is at stake, your brother's illness is going to pass if it doesn't work! You're lucky, you met our handsome, otherwise it's raining so hard, and you can't find anyone to help! Let's take a hand and help send your brother to the hospital, this Wuchang is a medical hall opened by a foreign doctor. ”

A kind non-commissioned officer patiently persuaded.

"No, I don't! I just want my brother to come home with me......"

The little girl muttered to herself with tears in her eyes and her eyes in distraction.

"Why are you still so stubborn, this life-threatening matter......"

"Cold Wind!"

Hu Rui suddenly shouted.

"Here!"

Leng Jingfeng took the raincoat handed by his comrades and put it on Hu Rui, while waiting for the order.

"Arrange manpower, and the military doctor will follow the supervision and use our car to send this girl home."

Hu Rui wiped the rain from his face and commanded.

"Dashuai, then you ......"

Leng Fengfeng was startled with the order, and he brought a platoon with him on this trip, plus the personal pistol team, there was not enough manpower, so he had to divide the troops......

"Execute the order, it's not so easy to kill me!"

"Yes!" (To be continued......)
