"Miss Yan, what do you think of the organization of the Alliance?"

Hu Rui, dressed in formal clothes, mounted on a horse surrounded by the pistol team, looked at the waterway and gradually walked away with the second mixed association marching towards Jiujiang, and suddenly asked.

"Anti-Qing vanguard, but too loose and weak. Relying on Japan's aid, there are a mixture of dragons and snakes, some who sacrifice their lives to seek righteousness, and some who opportunize. ”

Sanniang bowed her head, and after thinking about it slightly, she replied decisively.

"Whip in! It's a pity that not many people can see this clearly now. The League is indeed too loose, and the way the members come from is too complicated. Coupled with the problem of great success, it will definitely be difficult to achieve great success in the future. Even if the regime is established, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will either become a puppet of the Japanese or cause warlords to fight the whole country. ”

Later history books have a large number of depictions of the warlord melee period that lasted for 15 years after the Xinhai Revolution. It was not so much that Yuan Shikai was deliberately trying to steal the fruits of the victory of the Xinhai Revolution, but that the League itself lacked the ability to seize power in a comprehensive armed manner, so Zuihou had to hand over the results to others. Throughout the history of the life struggle of Sun, the leader of the Alliance, from being forced to resign as interim president by the Beiyang Army, and then to the later Dharma Protection Movement, the League has suffered the loss of lack of military liliang. After Chen Yiming's rebellion and revolution, he learned from the pain and made up his mind to build the Whampoa Military Academy, relying on the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which ended the era of warlord separatism. But at that time, Sun didn't have a few years to live, Chang Kaishen only nominally unified China after coming to power, and the Central Plains War and several overthrow movements were all the products of the uneven distribution of spoils among several warlords. To say that Sun's revolutionary will is still very firm, it is too idealistic, and even a little unscrupulous. In exchange for the aid and support of the Japanese, he even thought about leasing the three northeastern provinces to Japan (the three eastern provinces were still the territory of Zhang Zuolin's father and son, so this can only be a crazy idea).

"What do you mean, Chief?"

Sanniang nodded slightly and waited for the following.

After the Meiji Restoration, the island nation's wildness for territory and resources began to emerge. The two battles of Jiawu and Gengzi are the most haode proof. As for Hirofumi Ito's, I can only let it go as a fart! Asia is so big, can Japan sit back and watch China become truly strong? Dream! Just look at the virtues of those who stay in the sun! Strategically speaking, a divided and weak China is in Japan's interests. Vigorously fund the Alliance, and the drunkard's intention is not to drink. ”

Hu Rui didn't answer Sanniang's words, and answered the question.

"So, Chief, do you want to attack the Alliance? Nanjing's Ninth Town?! ”

Sanniang was not stupid, she immediately came back to her senses, looked at Nanjing who was close at hand and asked in astonishment.

"That's right! Wuchang is the first righteous place, Wuhu is the second righteous land, I'm afraid some people can't sit still. The ninth town has been infiltrated very much, but there is a case record of the previous Taihu Autumn Exercise, and it is impossible for Zhang Xun to be unguarded We have already electrified the whole country and declared independence. also took Zhu Jiabao as a hostage. I'm afraid it's going to be in the limelight, plus the war in Wuchang is not going well. According to the style of those guys in the Alliance, we will not be willing to steal the limelight. If I'm not mistaken, there will be action in Nanjing soon. Pity the good old man Xu Shuzheng. Miss Yan, do you have any good plans for the Ninth Town? ”

Hu Rui has always felt that under Sanniang's beautiful skin, there is an unfathomable heart. A girl's family can lead a big gang of hundreds of people to hide in the market, and the ability to wander away from all parties is absolutely insignificant. So I didn't hide it, and asked expectantly.

"You still call me Sanniang. Chief, if you want to attack the Ninth Town, there are only two strategies, the first book is to divide and accept, and the next strategy is to take it hard. If you take down the strategy and eat it too ugly, I am afraid that it will attract public anger, and the remnants of the Ninth Town that have been absorbed will be unstable. ”

Sanniang smiled lightly and replied without thinking.

"Haha, my intelligence minister is really talented! Wang Tianda, give me death! Good haode learn a little! ”

Hu Rui shouted at Wang Tianda, who was looking at the sky innocently.

"So I want to borrow a knife to kill people, and first warm up Zhang Xun in Nanjing. Forcing the Ninth Town to revolt ahead of schedule. ”

Hu Rui said compassionately.

Regarding the ninth town in Jiangnan, which is all within reach, Hu Rui's heart has been moving for a long time. According to the information that Sanniang wore back, there were about 4,000 people who were inclined to revolt, and they were all rare veterans. Even if he is halfway eliminated by Zhang Xunqing, after deducting those diehards who have been brainwashed by the Alliance, there are more than 1,000 people who can be replenished into the army. Replenish the recruits and equipment, which is the strength of a whole regiment!

"Sanniang will arrange it immediately."

Sanniang's style is not muddy and watery, and she is ready to start implementing it immediately......

"Don't worry, don't worry, this time we are all supporting roles, and the protagonist has to sing this play."

Hu Rui turned around and looked in the direction of An Qing and smiled mysteriously.

"My lord, I have offended a lot these days, and I invite my lord Haihan."

Hu Rui bowed to Zhu Jiabao, all the way to the end, and said earnestly. Frankly speaking, Zhu Jiabao is not bad to him.

"Heh, filial piety, you and I have to work together. If you become a king or lose, you will not be so coy. ”

Zhu Jiabao was stunned, and then replied coldly.

"Xiaolian knows that there is resentment in the hearts of adults, but some things are really unavoidable. Filial piety also has hardships. How do you feel about the Confederacy? If Anqing falls into the hands of such villains, how can he not be miserable? Today, filial piety is brought here to see off the adults. The Lord and the Yuan Palace keep the old, the world is in chaos, and the six towns of Beiyang will soon go south to suppress it. Daze Long is lying on the side, the Central Plains deer is fat, and the day of comeback is close at hand. Please give me a sentence, on the day of the abdication of the Qing Emperor, I, Hu Xiaolian, will definitely support Yuan Gongbao as the president. ”

"Understood, the Beiyang army is on the side, and you're also scared, right?"

Zhu Jiabao is such an old and spicy person, he immediately heard the sound outside the strings, and asked with a sneer.

Hu Rui didn't reply, and gave a salute with his fists and left. Before leaving, he seemed to have made a plan, paused and turned around, clasped his fists and said:

"My lord, you and I have worked together for more than four years, and the success of the new army depends on the support of adults. Regardless of ideals, filial piety really does not want to be opposed to adults. On the occasion of parting today, Xiaolian has a small gift. When adults pass by Jiangning, they can go to see Zhang Xun. The alliance will make a big move in the near future. ”

After saying that, he bowed and left. After leaving, Zhu Jiabao, who was undecided, was there to consider it alone.

In parallel history, in the late Qing Dynasty, Nanjing was the residence of the Nanyang Minister and the Governor of Liangjiang, and its geographical location was very important. Therefore, the Manchu government attached great importance to the security of Nanjing, and there were nearly 10,000 people in the Jiangfang patrol battalion led by Zhang Xun alone, plus more than 5,000 people in the ninth town of the new army, and the troops were abundant. After the Xinhai Revolution, the League sent Bai Wenwei and others to Nanjing to take charge of the Ninth Town of the New Army, which had been infiltrated before the rebellion. But almost at the same time, Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Xun, who commanded the Jiangfang training camp, immediately asked about the smell. On October 30, Zhang Renjun began to order the collection of ammunition from the new army, and even the bolts on the coastal defense batteries were removed just in case. Subsequently, the garrison of the new army was moved to Moling Town, 60 miles south of Jubaomen, Nanjing. To say that this Zhang Renjun is also a fool, some of the subsequent actions completely pushed the ninth town into the arms of the Alliance.

Not long afterward, Zhang Renjun further ordered the Jiang Defense Training Battalion to aim its muzzle and machine gun crosshairs at the New Army garrison in case the New Army suddenly attacked. This move completely angered all the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Town, coupled with the flickering of the alliance's mouth cannons, the good old man Xu Shuzheng immediately set the time of the uprising on November 8. Just when the League was arguing over the distribution of power after the restoration of Nanjing. Pig-like teammates appeared, and on November 7, some prison guards and political prisoners in Nanjing, who had been instigated by the League, took the lead in launching an uprising, because of the hasty and insufficient preparation for the incident, coupled with the small number of people, they could be quickly suppressed by Zhang Xun. The rebel forces in the city were almost completely annihilated, and on the morning of the 8th, they did not know that the ninth town in the city should have been completely destroyed, and a cavalry unit sent by Xingchong Chong was prepared to take the city gate under the response of the original Jihua as the advance team. As a result, it was routed by the heavy artillery of the defenders of Yuhuatai, who were in strict formation, and fought until half past five the next morning, when the ninth town suffered heavy casualties and finally broke out.

Compared with the Wuchang Uprising, when there was almost only one engineering battalion on hand, the lineup of the Nanjing Moling Uprising can be described as huge. There are more than 5,000 people in the ninth town, and more than 4,000 people are inclined to revolt, and there is a high probability that Jihua will succeed if it is good. As for the combat effectiveness of Zhang Xun's troops, look at the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army that will attack Nanjing in mid-November. More than 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army besieged Nanjing in four ways, and Zhang Xun, who could fight, fled in a hurry with more than 2,000 remnants, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Qing army in Nanjing at that time was not strong. It can only be said that the organization of the alliance is too poor, and a bunch of pig-like teammates are making trouble.

With Zhu Jiabao's chess piece, Hu Mou, who is essentially a black-bellied man, immediately put his mind into dividing and storing the remnants of the Ninth Town. In the land of fish and rice in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, although the governor of Liangjiang is a bastard, he is quite good to the new army, and his equipment and training are ranked. It can not only attract a group of veterans to supplement the troops, but also make the Qing army in Nanjing start civil strife first, and Hu Rui will naturally not let go of the things that kill multiple birds with one stone. Tossing and turning all night, early the next morning, Zhu Jiabao hastily packed up the fine softness and took the whole family to sit in a sedan chair and prepare to cross the river to Jiangning.

"Master, it's okay if we just leave like this, right?"

The old servant at home cautiously hugged the package in his arms and looked at the dark street worriedly and asked.

"Zhu Zhong, tell me to go down with confidence and go boldly! Ben Futai and Hu Xiaolian have been on business for more than four years, and this person is by no means a person who does not do what he says. If you really want to do it, you will already do it when you are imprisoned. And relieved, with Yuan Shigongbao's army on his side, he didn't dare to do anything. ”

Zhu Jiabao lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and coughed lightly to comfort him. The old servant took the order at random, and Zhu Jiabao looked sadly at An Qingcheng, who was still sleeping behind him, thoughtfully.

"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to go to Jiangning."

After a long time, Zhu Jiabao sighed and closed the curtain. When the waning moon was in the sky, the palanquin drivers carefully carried the sedan chair, and walked towards the pier with one foot deep and one foot shallow, where there was a passenger ship that had been prepared for a long time to take them to Jiangning.
