Chapter 90: Reorganization and the Northern Expedition 20

"Filial piety, never!"

Li Yuanhong, who was watching the show on the side, was beaten in a mess, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately jumped out and dissuaded in shock.

The three towns of Wuchang are separated by the Han River, and without the navy, the Yangtze River is a bird! The cannons on Turtle Mountain can directly hit Wuchang. The three towns of Wuchang, Hankou have been lost, and Hanyang is also in danger, and from a defensive point of view, the importance of the navy is increasing. At its peak, the Wuchang People's Army was expanded to 60,000 people, but in the subsequent battle with the Northern Army, the newly expanded Wuchang People's Army fell behind in terms of the quality of soldiers and weapons and equipment, and suffered successive defeats. The few remaining elites were lost in the Hankou counterattack Zhang commanded by Huang Xing. Some of the recruits who entered Wuchang were only recruits who couldn't even put their guns, and they relied on the Hunan army to take the lead on the battlefield.

Now the various units of the Hunan army that came to aid Hubei have suffered heavy losses and have been almost disabled, and looking at the entire three towns of Wuchang, the only one who can be counted on is this integrated division of the Anhui army.

"Brother Song Qing, my An Huijun came to the aid of Hubei to relieve the siege of Wuchang, and now that the siege of Wuchang has been lifted, the Beiyang Army in the direction of Hanyang has retreated to Caidian, and Xiaolian will leave! With Commander Huang here, one person can reach 100,000 male soldiers, and throughout ancient and modern times, I have never seen a war without leaving reserves. ”

Hu Rui arched his hand and replied with a sneer.

If you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman, I will directly give you a salary from the bottom of the kettle!

"Didn't you hear what the big man said, we're not welcome here, let's go! Let him Huang Xing play by himself! Throw this dwarf out there, and let's go home! ”

The hometown of an officer of the guard was Lushun, and the Japanese captured Lushun in the first year of the First Wu Dynasty, and the whole family died under the bayonets of the Japanese soldiers. looked at Da Yuan, who was jumping up and down, shouting, and immediately couldn't make trouble. yelled in response, ready to start taking people.

"Yaga! Humble Shina people, I am a citizen of the Great Japanese Empire! I am a soldier of the Empire! You have no right to be rough with me! ”

As the Japanese army, Dayuan is very arrogant. Since the victory in the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army has looked down on China more and more, pushed and refused to give in, and scolded loudly.

"Hu Xiaolian! What do you want to do, Mr. Dayuan is my military adviser, a guest from a friendly country! ”

Huang Xing, who was on the side, stood up with a pale face and scolded in public.

What Da Yuan said just now was very ugly. Everyone present was resentful, and Huang Xing was no exception. But Da Yuan is his military adviser after all, and this face must be supported.

"AIA?! Commander Huang is really a noble man who forgets things, who are the more than 20,000 compatriots who died in Lushunkou in the first year of the First Wu Dynasty, and who contributed the most in Gengzi Nian?! I don't know any friendly countries, I only know that we Chinese affairs cannot allow Japanese people to interfere! Throw it out of me! ”

Hu Rui pointed at Huang Xing's nose and scolded.

"Yaga! The Imperial Government will do justice to me. The Imperial Japanese Army will make you pay dearly! ”

None of the guards around Hu Rui were less than 1.7 meters tall. All of them are big men. Pure Hu diehards. At that moment, four people came out, dragged and dragged the short and fat Da Yuan like a doll.

"Hu Xiaolian, you dare!"

Huang Xingtie blushed, took out a pistol, pointed at Hu Rui and scolded loudly.

In modern times, Japan has been trying to divide China. It has always been deliberately supportive of nationalist sentiment in Shandong. As a pioneer of the revolution, the League was also strongly sponsored by the Japanese government. In previous uprisings, after the failure of the uprising, the participants tried to avoid arrest by the Manchu government. The first place to evacuate is Japan!

As the overseas Chinese in Nanyang gradually became disillusioned with the Alliance, the donations from Nanyang became less and less. The Allies became more and more dependent on Japanese financial and arms aid. Although Huang Xing was annoyed that Dayuan was reckless and spoke ugly, in the final analysis, he was his military adviser and sent by the Japanese. is reasonable, this face must be supported, and at the moment I have to resist this head-on.

"Wow"

As Huang Xing drew his guns and faced each other, the accompanying guards were not to be outdone, and took out their pistols and aimed them at Hu Rui.

"Commander Huang, calm down! Calm down! ”

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Sun Wu on the side shouted that it was not good, and grabbed Huang Xing with thousands of dissuasions.

At this time, you can't fight, the Beiyang army outside is still there, and Hanyang is still fighting! Although he was dissatisfied with what Huang Xing had done, Sun Wu still knew that it was powerful, and he desperately hugged Huang Xing and tried hard to dissuade him.

"Protect the marshal!"

Leng Feng took out the two Mauser Twenty Rings pinned to his waist, greeted, and then dodged in front of Hu Rui. The two loaded twenty rings were naturally not to be outdone, and facing Huang Xing's muzzle, they aimed at Huang Xing.

"Praise and Praise ......"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa"

There was a rapid running sound, and the guards immediately poured into the room, surrounding Huang Xing and his party in a half-moon shape. The Bobosha submachine gun in his hand was loaded, and the muzzle of the black hole was glaring angrily at Huang Xing and his party, and he had the intention of firing without saying a word.

The officers of the Anhui Revolutionary Army at all levels present did not expect Huang Xing to draw their guns and face each other, seeing that their commanders were in danger, their faces changed drastically, and they took out their guns and glared angrily. Yan Nuxia, who was following closely behind Hu Rui, also quietly wiped the belt around her waist, and the swallow dart was held in her hand, ready to attack at any time. At this distance, with Sanniang's ability, it is necessary to hit every shot.

"Filial piety, calm down! Calm down! They are all revolutionary comrades, why bother facing each other, sit down and talk slowly, talk slowly! All the mistakes are Song Qing's fault, filial piety and honesty quickly let your soldiers put down their guns, let's sit down and talk slowly! Commander Huang, it's all my own family here, put the gun down, let's sit down and talk slowly. ”

Li Yuanhong, who was so anxious that he was about to cry, cried and dissuaded with his sad face sandwiched in the middle.

Originally, I wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, thinking that maybe I could still reap the benefits of the fisherman, but as the situation quickly got out of control, the Anhui army and Huang Xing who came to aid Hubei directly pulled out their guns and faced each other, which cost Li Yuanhong's old life! Wuchang has become a mess of porridge, and he can't offend on both sides! Otherwise, this gratuitous will really not be able to be saved!

"Brother Song Qing, it's not filial piety that makes it difficult for you to be a man, since Commander Huang has forgotten his compatriots, then I have nothing to say. Brother Song Qing, take care, filial piety and honesty will leave! In the future, the affairs of Wuchang will be handed over to Commander Huang. Someone brought Staff Officer Huang out, and all the other parties were shot to set an example! Let's go home! ”

Hu Rui sneered and pursed his lips, looked at Huang Xing, whose face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and directly said goodbye and left.

Labor and management are no longer serving!

"Filial piety, can't be helped! Please stay! Please stay! Filial piety ......"

Li Yuanhong glared at Huang Xing dissatisfied, and hurriedly chased him out.

"Close!"

Leng Jingfeng slowly retreated with his gun, and after Hu Rui and his party all came out of the headquarters, he shouted, and the officers and soldiers of the guard team who were waiting in the room. In order, the guns were collected one after another, and the queue retreated, leaving only Huang Xing, whose face was black, and the guards who were covered in cold sweat, where to be in a daze.

"Handsome, the student is reckless. I beg the marshal to take back his life! Wuchang is the land of righteousness, let's just withdraw like this. I'm afraid it will attract criticism from all over the world! The entry of the Beiyang Army was ferocious. Provisional military governments everywhere could not avoid it, and the world was in a crisis......"

Guan Ziqing was halfway through speaking, looking at Hu Rui with a smile on his face, he immediately stopped talking, and thought about it a little tentatively.

"Big handsome, the student is brave, a certain flying big handsome is trying to capture the old man?!"

"Great goodness! Master Guan has good eyesight! ”

Hu Rui also replied to Zou Zou. bloated and laughed.

"Some people are not very capable, and their ambitions are not small! What a scenery it was when Huang Xing came to Wuchang, Li Songqing personally led the horse and whipped and erected a big flag Huang Xing! Swagger! It seems that he Huang Xing came. The Beiyang Army will be defeated and gone. But the result? I don't know how to command the military, and the so-called military adviser probably didn't follow his good intentions, and he also joined in the fun. Blindly launched a counterattack in the direction of Hankou, and the little money of the Wuchang People's Army was smashed in that counterattack, and now Wuchang is only left with recruits who can't even put a gun! Not only that, but his Huang Xing's ambition is not small, echoing Chen Qimei in Shanghai, first tried to seize the military power of Wuchang, but was opposed by the group, but failed! Then I paid attention to the Hanyang Arsenal and the Hanyang Iron Works, and actually planned to move all the factories to Shanghai! Needless to say, the current Wuchang military government has more and more opinions on Huang Xing and the people of the Alliance, and the root of the contradiction is mainly concentrated on military command! Before, we were on the front line and blocked the attack of the Beiyang Army, and the contradiction was temporarily diluted. As soon as we leave, Feng Guozhang is not a good stubble, he has suffered two losses in a row, and Wuchang has something to disobey the order, Yuan Xiangcheng is afraid that it will be difficult to explain! As long as we leave, Feng Guozhang will definitely launch a fierce attack when Hanyang's troops are empty! When the time comes, Huang Xing can't think about leaving! We are only in Hanyang, and in the three towns of Wuchang, we are even more ambitious! ”

After a long speech, Hu Rui took the teacup handed over by Sanniang, blew it, and drank a few sips to moisten his throat.

"Handsome and wise, the student is served! This plan of killing two birds with one stone is really clever! To retreat as advance, let Li Songqing and his group, who are ready to watch a good show, and Huang Keqiang dog-eat-dog, and when Huang Xing is forced away and Hanyang is in danger, Li Songqing will definitely call for help, and we will be completely justified at that time......"

Guan Ziqing, who was awakened, immediately reacted and began to sing praises.

"Ahem, it's good that Master Guan knows something, but it's not good to say it. The public opinion outside is troublesome, Mr. When necessary, create a momentum, and promote our two victories in Hanyang as a robbery, and then mention the fact that we were forced to flee again. The eyes of the masses are bright......"

Hu Rui played with the teacup in his hand and said in the dark.

Play propaganda war with me, you guys are still tender! Labor and management can be born more than 100 years later than you!

"Don't worry, don't worry, students dare not do their best!"

Guan Ziqing's eyebrows fluttered, patted his chest, and took the order.

"Auntie, don't pinch! Don't pinch! It's almost green! ”

As soon as Guan Ziqing left, the smile on Hu Rui's face immediately froze, and he repeatedly asked for mercy and pulled down the plain hand that Sanniang had climbed on his waist.

"Such a big battle, it turns out that you have long been jihuahaode! Tell me, who else have you calculated?! ”

Sanniang turned around and asked angrily.

"Ahem, I didn't talk to you about this beforehand, it's my fault. Wasn't you busy with the Hanyang Gun Factory and the Japanese spies during that time, I thought I wouldn't bother you, and besides, I could handle this matter myself. ”

Hu Dashuai accompanied the smiling face and explained to Haode.

"So, today's sabre-rattling, I'm worried in vain?!"

Sanniang raised her eyebrows. Hate and hate.

"Hey...... I was wrong! ”

Facing his own royal sister and wife-to-be, Hu Dashuai was immediately taken aback, and quickly admitted his mistake with a smiling face.

"Wow~ Don't pinch! Don't pinch! It hurts! Butterfly ......"

Early the next morning, news appeared in newspapers across the country about the Anhui army's handling of Wuchang. Guodi Mountain thwarted the attempt of the Beiyang Army to make a roundabout sneak attack, breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Beiyang Army! In the Hanyang counterattack, he even ate the 11th Mixed Association of the Beiyang Army in one go, and the co-commander Li Chun was killed by a shell, and the 11th Mixed Association was almost completely annihilated!

The author's writing is very good, and it can almost be called brilliant. It depicts the bloody wind on the battlefield and the bravery of the Anhui Revolutionary Army in the tone of a memorab. In particular, when the charge was launched, the soldiers of the whole standard (regiment) shouted "Long live the Anhui Revolutionary Army". The description of the scene of the bayonet and the charge under the leadership of the officer is particularly exciting to read.

Then the pen turned around, intentionally or unintentionally comparing the great victory of the Hanyang counterattack with the fiasco of the Hankou counterattack commanded by Huang Xing, and Zuihou even insinuated a sentence. The withdrawal of the Anhui Revolutionary Army to aid Hubei without compensation was not intended to be written, leaving room for imagination.

As soon as the news is issued. It immediately caused an earthquake throughout the country. The ferocity and savagery of the Beiyang Army had been fully reflected in the defensive battle of the three towns of Wuchang. All of a sudden, all the provinces and cities that had announced the liberation of China were avoiding it, and everyone was in danger, and when everyone was feeling lost and confused about the prospects of the Chinese revolution, a great victory suddenly came from Hanyang! The invincible Beiyang Army actually suffered a crushing defeat, and a mixed association was completely annihilated!

All of a sudden, all kinds of voices emerged from all over the country. There are those who call haode, those who question, those who scold, and those who play soy sauce......

After the commotion, people from all walks of life quickly moved the main force to the reason for the withdrawal of the Anhui army from Wuchang. It is vaguely written in the newspaper. It is very reverie, the common people in these years generally lack entertainment activities, and they are particularly happy to see the use of force. The nature of gossip has come up, and all kinds of speculation and analysis have come into being. Under the deliberate guidance of the manuscript, the mainstream speculation of public opinion was soon born: Commander-in-Chief Huang Xing forced the Anhui army away because of jealousy and hatred!

For a while, Huang Xing, who was in Wuchang, immediately became the target of public criticism, and the several newspapers opened by the League had little effect on how to explain and launder the white. Soon, Huang Xing's fake son, Huang Yiou, used the name of Guangfu to make a slight profit, gathered a crowd to rape the people's daughters, blackmailed the people on the street, and robbed the people's daughters, and the media also picked up the matter. Luo Hongsheng, the co-commander of the Wuchang People's Army, and a group of minions were executed by the Anhui army as an example, while the main culprit Huang Yiou was safe and sound, and was released the day before the Anhui army withdrew from Wuchang.

For a time, on the original evidence of "abolishing the public office for personal gain, and forcing the Anhui army away because of jealousy", the media added a high hat of "communiqué and personal vendetta" to Huang Xing. For a time, Huang Yiou and Huang Xing's father and son became the targets of criticism and angry scolding from various media, especially Huang Yiou, who committed crimes under the banner of revolution, and was even more scolded.

In these years, the status of scholars is still very high. No matter how big the politician and warlord Shili is, the literati and writers write articles in the newspaper to criticize and scold, you have to endure it! You don't see that in parallel time and space, before Yuan Shikai became emperor, the one scolded in various domestic newspapers was called a murderer! The eldest prince Yuan Keding is not capable enough, but he is the most resentful, and he has coveted the position of the prince for a long time. The matter of Lao Yuan being called the emperor, except for Yang Du, is the most enthusiastic about him. But that's it, in the face of the scolding in the newspaper, Yuan Keding would rather spend a lot of money to let people lick and print fake newspapers according to the old man's preferences to fool his old man, rather than send someone to smash the newspaper or something.

In a word, there is no press control in these days, freedom of speech, and you can write whatever you want in the newspaper! It doesn't matter if you are a businessman or a warlord or a politician, you can do it all!

Although Huang Xing, who was scolded for being bloody, turned white with anger, he was helpless to shoot again. After angrily slapping his son Huang Yiou a few times, Huang Xing got a ferry ticket to Japan and sent his unhappy son to Japan. It's such a fuss, my son is in China, don't want to stay for a short time, I'll be thrown rotten eggs when I go out!

If you want to say that when this report comes out, it is even more popular than Huang Xing, it must be Feng Guozhang on the Wuchang front!

In the years when Yuan Shikai went fishing in the wild, it was also the time when Feng Guozhang and others grew the fastest. entered and returned to Beiyang, although the foundation is still there, but for a few generals who have been full-fledged, Lao Yuan directly called and drank, it was no fun. It is precisely because of this that Feng Guozhang's goods were confused by lard, and he was actually fooled by a baron promised by the Qing court to "rest with the country", and in a state of excitement, he actually ignored Lao Yuan's repeated emphasis on the order of Dong Wuchang and attacked Wuchang on a large scale! As a result, the Anhui Revolutionary Army aiding Hubei was put on a side, and the Yangtze River Fleet intercepted it halfway, making Feng Guozhang stumble.

If it's these, forget it, anyway, the news is blocked, and the Beiyang Army is still "invincible"! Now that this report is out, good guys, the old accounts and the new accounts will be counted together! not only poked out the miserable white thing in Wuchang, but also had the heavy news that the Eleventh Mixed Association was completely annihilated!

Lao Yuan's idea of promoting peace by war and taking the world lightly is estimated to be yellow, and the myth of the invincibility of the Beiyang Army has been shattered.

The Qingliu people's ability to fight mouth cannons is no worse than that of the Alliance, and the Qinglius, who had long seen that Yuan Shikai was not pleasing to their eyes, immediately grabbed it and bombarded Yuan Shikai with full firepower! Question: Where did all the huge money invested by the imperial court be spent?! Beiyang has been an army for so many years, where is the effect?! almost sprayed Lao Yuan into the living Cao Cao of the world. In desperation, Lao Yuan was forced to go to the palace in person with a shy face, and asked the little emperor and the Empress Dowager Longyu to take the blame.

After such a toss, Lao Yuan was also furious! When he came back to his senses, he scolded Feng Guozhang with a rare telegram, and urged Yang Shiqi, who was almost in Wuchang, to go to Wuhu. Find out what the commander of the Anhui Revolutionary Army who has sprung up wants to find out, and quickly get rid of this trouble!

The hard-pressed Yang Shiqi was halfway there, and was tossed by a telegram from Lao Yuan, so he turned around and rushed to Wuhu. And Feng Guozhang, who was even more bitter than him, was also angry, ashamed and annoyed, and there was no place for this old face. There is a saying, Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, he is not a person inside and out! Feng Guozhang is indeed so hard right now! The battle was defeated, and Lao Yuan became wary, and the Qing court, which had tried its best to entrap him, was not pleased. Feng Guozhang was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, what do you call this! It's not easy to be angry at both ends! Under the anger of the crown, he planned to sprinkle this breath on the Wuchang People's Army opposite......

And Hu Rui, who was the initiator, patted the newspapers collected by the Intelligence Department on the way back to Wuhu, and smiled mysteriously:

"Hey, that's just the beginning!" (To be continued......)
