"Li Sang, have you seen it clearly?"

Kawaguchi asked in a strange tone in a Chinese accent full of Sendai accents.

"Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo, please rest assured, the little one watched them walk out of the gate of the camp of the Anhui Green Skin Army with his own eyes. The man in the top hat was Douglas, the minister of Citigroup, and as for the man who was following him, it was too dark to see clearly! But looking at the way the big man walks, I'm afraid that he has carried a gun and eaten food in the big camp! The group of Anhui greenskins were too tightly guarded, and they surrounded the place like an iron bucket, and the small ones couldn't get in. What did they talk about, and this little one was really powerless. ”

In the dark, a young man with an old-fashioned beard, a thin body, dressed as a charlatan, nodded and followed behind, and replied charmingly.

"Yo Xi, it is worthy of being a talent recommended by Chen Dudu! Li Sang, you Di and Chen Dudu are both the most loyal friends of the empire. The empire will never treat its friends badly, and if you go back to write a special article about Chen Dudu, you will say that the first batch of ordnance from the empire to support the provisional government in Nanjing will arrive in Nanjing in three days. There are 3,000 rifles of the Thirty Years, Haas opened the 1897 heavy machine gun, and 12 field guns of the Trinity of the People's Republic of China. I hope that Governor Chen will confirm to Mr. Sun as soon as possible the relevant matters related to the lease of Manchuria to the Empire! These armaments are only the first step, as long as Governor Chen and Mr. Sun implement the matter of leasing Manchuria as soon as possible, the empire will increase its support for the Nanjing Provisional Government! ”

"Hai, I thank Your Excellency Shaozuo for Chen Dudu, China and Japan are a strip of water, and we have never forgotten this friendship! Governor Chen Du conveyed a small sentence that the finances of Nanjing have been relatively tight recently, and the Anhui Green Skin has been bullying people too much, and has kept smearing Mr. Sun and the Nanjing Provisional Government in the newspapers. Local taxes have been greatly reduced, the issuance of public bonds has not been smooth, and you look at the ...... borrowing"

With a smiling face, the man nodded and asked tentatively.

"Li San. You tell Chen Dudu that as long as the matter of the concession of Manchuria is finalized, everything will not be a problem! ”

In the dark, Kawaguchi Shaosa waved his hand impatiently and said categorically.

"Hai, yes, yes, Your Excellency Shaozuo, don't worry, the small one will be brought! Our brothers' manpower is all in place, and I would like to ask you for your guidance on how to do it. ”

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, the man was busy and said.

"Yo Xi, Chen Dudu's work efficiency is very fast. That's great! Li Sang, tell your people to wait for news, tomorrow is the weekend, according to the habit of that warlord, he will definitely take his family to go shopping. Li Sang. You set up an ambush in the hotel on the second floor in advance, and wait for the warriors of the empire to arrive. We are condescending. Kill in one fell swoop! ”

Touching the saber hanging from his waist, Kawaguchi whispered.

"Hai, please rest assured, this small guarantee will be done beautifully!"

The man bent even lower, and he almost lay on the ground and kissed Kawaguchi's leather boots.

The gang of Anhui green-skinned people have already made Chen Yingshi and the high-level leaders of the League rush to threaten. From the occupation of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Later, he openly expressed his refusal to recognize the Nanjing Provisional Government, and now he has dug up the corrupt private lives of high-level figures of the League and hyped them up, in short, the big slap in the face has been pumped one after another.

Encountering such a soft and hard two hundred and five, oil and salt does not eat, the alliance will also have a headache. If you want to say go straight to the fight. Although the Shanghai People's Army and the Jiangsu People's Army combined also have 50,000 or 60,000 people, they are not the opponents of the Anhui green-skinned group in terms of equipment and the quality of their soldiers.

Don't forget, people have cheated the Beiyang Army!

Moreover, more than half of the grassroots non-commissioned officers and officers of the two divisions of the Jiangsu People's Army have run away, and the remnants of the original Ninth Town have almost gone clean. Most of the rest are new recruits, and from Xu Shaozhen, commander of the Nanjing garrison, to the grassroots officers and soldiers, the entire Jiangsu People's Army has a good impression of the green-skinned army from Anhui. If it really starts fighting, it's good not to defect on the spot!

Like the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty, controlling public opinion and smearing opponents has always been a good show for the League. Before the Wuchang uprising, when Sun took everyone to live in Japan, he did not put on the head of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that the alliance has encountered hard stubble, and the previous public opinion offensive has been tried and tested, and a group of gathered black-mouthed cannons have dug up any master who stands in front of the alliance in the newspaper. But I just encountered such a hard stubble, playing with mouth cannons, they are more ruthless than you!

The matter of Otsuki Kaoru is only known to those high-level elders who have been exiled in Japan, but such a secret incident is still dug up by Anhui Greenskin and hyped up, and for a while, Sun was directly labeled as "Reality Chen Shimei". Tao Chengzhang and Zhang Taiyan, who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, also followed suit, and the life of the Nanjing Provisional Government has been very difficult since the beginning of the day.

When did the League, which has always regarded itself as the "leader of the Chinese revolution", suffer such a great loss? Therefore, the high-level leaders of the alliance have long hated Hu Rui's-stirring stick, and they can't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible. It's just that he is afraid of the strong combat effectiveness of the Green Leather Army, and he has been slow to start.

Kawaguchi Shaosa took the initiative to come up, hoping to cooperate with the League to get rid of Hu Rui. When I was dozing, I encountered a pillow, and Chen Qimei and the others didn't hurry up yet!

Soon, under the multi-party contact of Chen Qimei, the military and political dignitaries (mainly from the Alliance) who were dismissed from the former Hubei Military Government, some disgruntled Yangzhou salt merchants, water bandits along the Yangtze River, dead soldiers in the rivers and lakes, plus the Japanese ronin in China contacted by Kawaguchi, an assassination of the Living-Biological Coalition Government and the Supreme Commander of the National Defense Force, Hu Rui, gradually took shape.

Kawaguchi was able to be sent to China to serve as a military attache in the Hankow Japanese Lease Mansion, which shows that this guy is not a fuel-efficient man, etc. During the Russo-Japanese War, he went to Liaodong with General Nogi Noshinori, and he had a lot of dealings with local bandits.

After applying for 10,000 yen for the event, plus a lot of high-quality Fukushou ointment, this group of outlaws who were responsible for the way immediately used it for him. Supporting a number of Meiji 30-year-old rifles and Trinity field artillery (the main equipment of the Japanese artillery during the Russo-Japanese War, the old frame and retreat artillery, used to replace the bronze artillery previously equipped in the Japanese army) made the Nanjing Provisional Government under the control of the League to help, and nodded busily to the matter of Manchuria in the Japanese concession, looking forward to more help.

Anyway, in their eyes, Manchuria outside the customs was the dowry brought by the banner people when they entered the customs, and it was far less inconsequential than the cost-effective one used in exchange for aid (there was indeed this time in history.) Sun's revolutionary spirit is worthy of recognition, but the political short-sightedness and the madness of the revolution almost to the point of doing anything for the revolution make people rush to the difference. The same tone was also given to the Manchurian issue in later generations).

"The people of China do not deserve this land of abundance!"

Looking at the back of the man who had left satisfied, Kawaguchi sneered and muttered to himself.

The reorganization of the national defense forces is being accelerated, and the arsenals in Anqing, Wuhu, and Hanyang are also operating at full capacity to produce much-needed ordnance. A number of machine tools and planing equipment ordered from Germany were also on their way across the ocean, and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which was under the control of the Wehrmacht, was also using dry docks to refit two Hairong-class cruisers and the remaining river gunboats.

The industrial system that smashed a lot of money finally took shape, and Jiang Baili also initially built a shelf in Wuhu. Anhui's land reform is progressing fairly smoothly. Land reform in Hubei and Jiangxi is also being carried out on a trial basis.

Everything seems to be developing in the direction of haode, although the pockets are deflating little by little, but the current construction of the three-life coalition government and the national defense force is finally on the right track. This made Hu Dashuai couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, and he was full of confidence in the next stage of the troop strategy.

With the help of the National Defense Force, the three towns of Wuchang, which had suffered from the war, finally did not have to starve to death. As the New Year approaches, the victims of the disaster who have been working on various reconstruction sites for a long time. I gradually accumulated a handful of copper plates at hand. The streets began to come alive. Although there was a disaster, there was no need to starve to death if there was rice and food, and if you were willing to work hard, you could eat better. With a large handful of copper plates earned from working in these days in his pocket, he pondered what to add to his family at the end of the year.

Chinese have the strongest concept of home, and the leaves fall back to their roots and the family reunion once a year. In the eyes of traditional Chinese, it is a precious festival. The young and strong moved bricks, picked up soil and one or two copper plates, and the old and weak women and children who burned pots and cooked were given a copper plate a day, and every household also had a few small coins in their hands.

It's the New Year. This year's situation is not very good, the change of dynasty has changed, and there is chaos everywhere. But it is a blessing to be alive, and the jubilant people touched the relief food in the temporary shacks, wore the cotton clothes distributed, and dragged their families to the street to buy them with joy.

The clothes on the body are new, and there is no need to spend money to tear the cloth to make new clothes for the Chinese New Year this year. This little money in your hand is just enough to buy some big bone sticks, pig water, glutinous rice, bean paste, rice wine and so on, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of poor and small households cannot be sloppy.

"Driving~"

After sending the Americans who came to the door, Hu Dashuai was in a good mood. It was another sunny day, and on the weekend, Hu Rui accompanied Sanniang to go shopping as usual.

Feng He took advantage of the rest day to go back to his home in Wuchang, hanging a civilian cadre and doing the work of a secretary, and the salary of fifteen yuan a month plus free food, clothing and housing is not less.

This is the first time that the little girl has been paid for her own labor, and she has received a salary to buy New Year's goods under the guidance of her sister, and she has taken advantage of the weekend to go home happily.

The little girl was very happy, this was her first time receiving her salary. Looking at his happy daughter, Old Man Ye was also overjoyed, and the current Ye family was completely connected with Hu Dashuai.

After several efforts, Tang Hualong finally got his wish and got the position of governor of Hubei Province. He always followed the pace of Hu Dashuai, fully supported the resolution of the coalition government of the three provinces, and supported the expansion of the national defense force. followed behind Hu Dashuai, and he was skilled in hugging his thighs.

The old man of the Ye family obeyed this resolution and did not show any dissatisfaction or criticism. The disaster relief and reconstruction work was enough for him to keep busy, and Wuchang shot so many corrupt bureaucrats and businessmen in one go, or did he personally read out the charges to the chief of the hair......

There are more people offended now, if you don't find a thick thigh to hold, the Ye family is afraid that it will be destroyed!

Seeing the sharpness of Hu Dashuai's counterattack on the Nanjing Provisional Government, and also swallowing the bitter fruit of his original ambition, the current old man Ye hugged the thighs of the National Defense Army with all his heart, and he didn't dare to think about anything else, but it was true that the whole family was safe.

"It's almost the New Year, do you have any plans for my Yan'er?"

Riding on the back of the black wind, two purebred Altejin horses, one black and one white, strolled side by side through the crowded streets.

"Settle down the co-work here in Wuchang, if you can, I plan to take my little sister back to Wuhu together. My father has been lonely in Wuhu for a long time, and he will inevitably scold us for being unfilial to our children. Filial piety. I just don't know if she is willing to ......"

A coffee-colored leather jacket top, black breeches made of tweed, and high riding boots outline Sanniang's graceful curves and youthful body, and her heroic posture is becoming more and more pretty and charming.

"Ahem, there are some things that I shouldn't say, no matter how wrong this thing was done back then, it is an elder after all. During the New Year's holidays, do you think we should also go to the door to visit? As for Feng He, if she wants, we can have two Chinese New Year's Eve dinners. ”

Hu Dashuai touched his nose in embarrassment. Asked tentatively.

Sanniang has paid too much for him, except that she has not given her body to him, as a fiancée, everything Sanniang has has been dedicated. For his career and the National Defense Army, Sanniang stood silently beside her. Gave everything of his own.

Every now and then, Hu Rui always has a sense of indebtedness and guilt.

"Of course. We are a family. I will always be on your side. If you don't want to, forget it, it's fine. ”

Looking at his face, Hu Rui added.

"I ...... Listen to you! ”

Sanniang pondered, gritted her teeth in the northwest, and replied.

"Now, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I left you, and when I woke up in the morning, my heart ached and I wanted to shed tears. ”

Finally took off his military uniform and put aside the guards, Hu Rui immediately got up inappropriately, stretched his neck on the horse and rubbed Sanniang. Serious way.

"If the New Year is approaching, can't you say something auspicious? If you leave, leave, there is nothing in the world that the swallow god can't steal! As far as you run, I will chase as far as I can, and see how you, the monkey, jump out of the palm of the Buddha! ”

Sanniang glanced at the goods and said softly.

"Hawkers, is this asking Meng Jiangnu to find a husband for thousands of miles? Anyway, I haven't had time to tell you in my dreams, I love you~"

"Poof~"

"Hiss~"

Suddenly, the group of big black horses under Hu Rui's crotch suddenly rose back in a frenzy, and lifted a mid-air spherical object to the side of the road in a volley between the lightning and flint.

"Boom"

With a loud bang, scattered fragments flew sideways within the killing radius, slicing through the musculature of the human body and taking away the energy of life in the body in the blood gushing like a fountain.

"Get down!"

didn't have time to look at the innocent people who had suffered from the fish pond, and Hu Dashuai, who was startled by the sudden explosion, broke out in a cold sweat and shouted and beckoned Sanniang to gallop on horseback.

"Bang ......"

On the second floor of a restaurant on the street, the carved wooden window was savagely slammed open, and a row of thirty-year-old rifles was mixed with the sound of several Mauser pistol fires, and the dense bullets flew towards the figures that flashed below, ping-pong on the stones, and sparks flew in all directions.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Instinctively leaning down on the horse's back, Hurui pulled out a Browning 1910 that never left him, and fired a few random shots at the source of the sound in response.

The big black horse under the crotch is very humane, just now he had a premonition of the approaching danger, and kicked the bomb flying in the air between the lightning and flint, saving the life of the owner on horseback. Now, the hunchback owner spread his hooves and fled for his life, and the horse's hooves were windy, consciously avoiding the chaotic crowd around him.

"Murdered!"

There was a howl of crying fathers and mothers on the crowded streets, and the panicked people immediately became a mess. The gunfire on the second floor continued, and it was clear that the gunman chased after missing a shot, and the grenade flew sideways, not an innocent one fell to the ground.

"Those who are coming at us are all new fast guns, come prepared!"

Sanniang listened to all directions, her face changed greatly, and she pulled out the gun on her waist and looked back.

According to the peculiarities of the tasks of the Security Interior Guard, the Tokarev pistol with a German caliber of 7.63 caliber had good penetration, but the stopping effect of the ammunition was not ideal. Therefore, the Anqing Manufacturing Bureau improved the Bobosha submachine gun used by the security internal guard unit according to the performance characteristics of the 11.43 mm caliber pistol cartridge made by the United States. The improved submachine gun uses an American-style 11.43 mm pistol cartridge, which has great lethality and good stopping effect. It looks like a mix of Bobosha and Thomson, with the addition of ego and the improved stock. The Bobosha and Tokarev pistols, which were originally armed in the security internal guard units, were accepted by the guards, and the American-made 1911 pistols became the standard equipment of the internal guard troops.

The swallow gang is not in vain, even on the back of a galloping horse, there is no need to look back, only to test the ears to identify support, and all seven bullets in a row do not leak. At close range, when the 11.43mm pistol bullet entered the body, the copper-clad lead bullet shattered and rolled into a terrible cavity, and the body that lost control fell like an empty food bag into the street behind it.

"Go separately, it's me who they're going to kill!"

Looking at Sanniang, who was changing the magazine of the pistol, Hu Rui quickly calmed down.

"Let's go!"

Sanniang didn't hesitate and categorically refused.

"The target is too big on the horse, and when we came out, we didn't bring a guard, and if the two of us walked together, neither of us would survive! You go quickly, I'll hold them back, and I'll wait for you to bring rescue!" ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Lay down your arms!"

The patrol officer, who rushed to the scene, returned fire fiercely with the commission 1888 rifle and Colt revolver in his hand, the leading officer shouted.

"Now, let's go!"

Pushing away the hesitant Sanniang, Hu Rui resolutely took this opportunity to turn around and attract attention at the moment. (To be continued......)
