Chapter 112 Expansion of the Army and Reunification of the Two Provinces

In parallel history, Li Yuanhong has also left a strong mark in China's modern history. He is the only person in Chinese history to serve two terms as president and three terms as vice president.

Living in poverty when he was young, he lived in Tianjin with his father at the age of 14, and was admitted to the Beiyang Naval Academy, where he experienced the First Sino-Japanese Battle on the torpedo gunboat Guangjia. After the ship sank, he did not give in and threw himself into the sea, and was rescued later. From the second officer of the Navy to the co-commander of the Hubei New Army.

As an officer, he is honest and approachable, and can share weal and woe with the soldiers, and win the love of the majority of soldiers. Sympathetic to the soldiers, open-minded, and without any arrogance. Intellectuals who joined the battalion were often exempted from hard labor and given special care; In administering the army, it is lenient and moderate, and leads by example. He is good at military training, conservative but sympathetic to the revolution.

Li Yuanhong's life can be said to be full of contradictions, and it is difficult to evaluate his merits and demerits. But it must be noted that Li Yuanhong, nicknamed "Li Bodhisattva", is also an ambitious and ruthless person. After the peace between the north and the south, Gudong Wuchang and Nanjing were divided, which was in line with the old Yuan Ding's capital Beijing. Subsequently, troops were sent to suppress the Heroes' Association, and the Hubei People's Army was reorganized from the original eight divisions to three divisions, and dissidents were eradicated on a large scale. Zuihou was even more embarrassed with Lao Yuan, and directly booby-trapped Zhang Zhenwu, deputy minister of the Military Affairs Department of the Hubei Military Government at that time, and Fang Wei, head of the general regiment, completely tearing apart Li Bodhisattva's hypocrisy.

After seeing through the ruthless and ambitious nature of this goods, Hu Dashuai was particularly attentive to this seemingly kind-hearted Li Du Governor. A series of moves by the Nanjing Provisional Government undoubtedly greatly dampened Li Yuanhong's ambitions, and although Sun Dacang had not yet been formally sworn in, he had already torn his face openly.

After several battles, the original family of the eight associations and two artillery units of the Hubei New Army has now left only six associations with empty shelves, and the full battle is worth more than 10,000 yuan. Young officers at the grassroots level held high the banner of nationalism in Hu Dashuai. When he was assigned to the British, he went to the Wehrmacht in Wuchang with enthusiasm. Now what is left is either the old and weak soldiers, or the unlucky ones tied to their own interests.

The finances were almost exhausted, and the Hubei People's Army in his hands was almost wiped out. Li Bodhisattva: This will be completely no cards to play.

This will be Hu Rui's personal visit, which is actually pinching the ambition of this product for the presidency. Just imagine, this goods in parallel history can put down the good haode Wuchang governor and hand over the chassis and the army for the sake of a vice president's false name. Ran to Beijing as a humanoid rubber stamp. The ambition and desire of this thing are not ordinary!

"Dashuai, the student is blunt, please also ask Dashuai to teach. Li Songqing and his people have always regarded themselves very highly, and they have the merit of taking the lead, and the current situation is obviously that we are in a strong position. The merger of the two provinces doomed Li Songqing's downfall and fade out. What benefits did the marshal promise? Attract Li Songqing obediently? ”

Go back to the car. Master Guan Ziqing asked with a smile.

It is not deeper than the roots of the tree of the North Ocean, nor is it deeper than the aura of the Alliance. Hu Dashuai, who became a monk halfway, became a dark horse who suddenly came out. Although the successive military victories have brought attention and attention at home and abroad, they cannot change the lack of talents in government affairs, economy and finance under his command.

Count with your fingers, that is, two or three kittens. Except for those senators who were voted by the Wuchang Provisional Military Government. The only thing left is the group of masters led by Guan Ziqing. In this meeting with Li Yuanhong, Hu Dashuai had to take Guan Ziqing and others with him, so he could not pretend to be a faΓ§ade.

"Master, when a person's ambition reaches a certain point. will do whatever it takes, even if he knows that his own abilities are not enough to support his ambitions. ”

Glancing at Guan Ziqing, who was wearing a long shirt beside him, Hu Rui smiled faintly and said mysteriously.

Li Bodhisattva is not stupid, and he knows the current form in his heart. The hearts of the people and the army in the three towns of Wuchang have all reversed to the national defense army, and the fists are not as big as the family, and the pockets are not drummed, and it is only a matter of time before they are annexed. At this point, Bodhisattva Li has this profound understanding.

Now that it is a foregone conclusion that it will be annexed, Li Bodhisattva has no leisure to regret the original move of luring the wolf into the house, and is thinking about how to preserve his strength in order to make a comeback in the future.

In the current situation, it has come to this point, can you still not agree? After all, he also won the throne of vice president, and he Li Bodhisattva naturally agreed with satisfaction.

"You are Sun Wu?"

In the night, a group of sturdy men full of murderous spirit quietly touched the door of Sun Wu, Minister of Military Affairs of the Wuchang Provisional Military Government. A sturdy man at the head lowered the brim of his hat and asked coldly.

"No, it's down. Dare to ask you who ......"

As the governor of Wuchang who was appointed in advance, Sun Wu studied in Japan twice, studied in the Hubei Wubei Academy, and served as an instructor of the Hubei New Army and the management of the Yuezhou Weiwu Battalion. Experience and insight are not comparable to ordinary military and political officials, facing this group of sturdy men who came to the door in the middle of the night, Sun Wu Mingrui felt the heavy murderous aura on this group of people. At the moment, I had a plan in my heart, and I carefully whirled.

"In the twenty-third year of Guangxu (1896), he was admitted to the Hubei Wubei School; In the 31st year of Guangxu (1905), he went east to Japan and entered Chengcheng School to study the army; In the 34th year of Guangxu (1908), he studied in Japan again and entered the Omori Training Institute to learn field tactics and bombs. He has a lot of experience, and before the Wuchang incident, he lived in No. 14, Baoshanli, the Russian Concession, and was injured when making a bomb, so he can be regarded as a man. ”

Summing up Sun Wu's main energy before with an expressionless face, the man led by him paused, ignoring Sun Wu's jaw that was about to fall in shock, and continued.

"You don't need to know who we are, now you have two choices, one is to pack up your things and leave, Nanjing, Shanghai as you like. As Minister of War, your abilities are seriously inconsistent with this position. The second was inaugurated as the head of the Wuchang Police Department in the new government. You've got half a night to think, don't make a mistake! Okay, let's go, next! ”

After speaking, regardless of Sun Wu, who was still in shock and did not come back to his senses behind him, he took care of himself and led his subordinates into the darkness and continued to look for the next family on the list.

At the same time that Hu Dashuai finished his meeting with Li Yuanhong and drove back to the headquarters of the National Defense Forces in Wuchang. All the dignitaries of the Wuchang Provisional Military Government who stood on the front line with Li Yuanhong were visited by a group of sturdy men of unknown origin and received similar choices.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't bother, don't bother. I'll ...... it myself."

got up early in the morning, Hu Dashuai tried to snatch the razor with a smile on his face, and came by himself.

After coming back last night, facing the Yan Nuxia who exuded the aura of the queen all over her body, Hu Dashuai didn't hide it and put the whole Jihua and the plate out. Yan Nuxia, who dares to love and hate, is upright, and she was already disgusted by what Old Man Ye did back then, and now she is even more disgusted. Regarding the matter of a warlord and an unscrupulous profiteer using his little sister as a bargaining chip, Yan Nuxia took a hard bite on Hu Dashuai's shoulder. It's going to hurt.

This is also good now, since the fight has the nourishment of aiqing, some people care and some love, Yan Nuxia is getting smaller and smaller. If it was the previous leader of the Swallow Gang, he might have to use a knife and a gun. Hand blade these two unscrupulous people.

For Yan Nuxia's kung fu, Hu Dashuai only worships in addition to worship. I won't talk about the cornices and walls. The swallow dart alone is already superb. Electric shavers are too far ahead of their time. Locked in the suitcase, I dare not use it. Touching the left shoulder wrapped in gauze, Hu Dashuai swallowed nervously and looked at the razor in Yan Nuxia's hand.

He's afraid!

"Lie down, Biedong."

Yan Nuxia was worried about something, rolled her eyes speechlessly, and nudged someone. Commanded.

"Uh-huh, tap ......"

Seeing that Yan Nuxia had no intention of murdering her husband, Hu Dashuai, who was relieved, immediately hummed happily and lay down.

The powdered shaving cream melts in water and becomes a sticky foam. Cool. Yan Nuxia's movements were very light and light, little by little, patiently cleaning the stubble on her fiancΓ©'s chin.

Today is a big day, and the Nanjing Provisional Government is cheering and welcoming Sun Wen, who has brought him to the post of provisional president. At the Wuchang side, a meeting on the merger of Hubei and Anhui provinces was also held in the early morning.

Today's reunification meeting of the two provinces is a major event that has a bearing on the future development of the national defense forces and even on the future direction of China's political situation. Outside the conference room, the security internal guard units, armed to the teeth, strictly guarded the entire meeting hall.

Yan Nuxia is still a traditional woman in her bones, and she doesn't say anything about her own man. Washing and dressing up these trivial things will never bother Hu Dashuai to do it himself, men, they should do big things! His hair was taken care of like a dog licked, and Hu Dashuai rarely changed into a dress under the service of Yan Nuxia.

With gold filigree embroidered military ranks on the cuffs, tailor-made calfskin high riding boots, black leather gloves, olive-green tweed military uniforms, golden ribbons, and gilded generals' big-brimmed hats, today's Hu Dashuai is like a firefly in the night.

"Collapse"

All the high-ranking generals of the National Defense Forces stationed in Wuchang, dressed in the winter uniforms of the National Defense Forces, stepped on high riding boots with iron nails and neat drums, and walked in unison towards the conference room. Along the way, passing by the sentry posts of the security internal security forces that served as guards, the sentries on duty snapped and stood upright, silently raising their guns.

"Salute!"

There was a loud roar, and the marching queue returned the salute as usual.

The moment he raised his hand to salute, he was in a big mood and squeezed his eyes towards Ye Fenghe, who was already looking stupid on the side. Of course, this is an angle that Yan Nuxia can't see.

"Collapse"

The sound of neat footsteps came from far and near, the sun rose in the east, and the queue was full of gold.

"What's up, what's going on?!"

"I don't know......"

The sound of neat and majestic footsteps came from far and near, and some unknown little people in the conference room began to sit still and discuss in a low voice. Even Li Yuanhong, Sun Wu, Zhang Zhenwu and others, who knew the inside story in advance, were stunned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why you have been brought here early in the morning is because of a great event. Several telegrams from the Nanjing Provisional Government must have been seen by everyone, Wuchang is the land of righteousness, and four trillion compatriots have been awakened by the gunfire in Wuchang. It was the National Defense Forces and you who were fighting on the front line with Beiyang, and this move by the Nanjing Provisional Government was undoubtedly chilling to the hearts of the people. Here's what I discussed with the Governor overnight. ”

After a few words as a foreshadowing, Hu Rui waved his hand imposingly, signaling that the clerical gang around him had already printed the haode documents one after another.

"The reunification of the two provinces?"

"I guessed what Hu Dashuai said just now, hmph, the group of bastards who crossed the river and demolished the bridge in the Alliance, our Wuchang family didn't speak hard enough. You can't hear it. Our two provinces combined, this should be hard enough, right? ”

"The governor of Li Du is also a ruined boat, the two provinces are unified, how are we going to settle these people?"

"Yes, yes, that's not impossible, now the people of the three towns of Wuchang are all facing this national defense army, how can the governor of Li Du ......"

After the documents were dispersed, the scene immediately began to discuss in whispers.

"Drink some water."

β€œοΌŸοΌ Wind Lotus?! ”

The owner who was looking for the voice looked over, but saw the little Lolita Ye Fenghe standing aside with little stars in her eyes, handing over a cup of tea. Said softly.

"Wind Lotus?!"

The order of action in the meeting hall was determined by rank, and the generals of the Wehrmacht were all seated on the right-hand side in order of rank. Master Guan Ziqing, Hu Shi'an, Li Siguang and others, like right-hand men, stood on both sides of Hu Rui.

Sanniang, who had the rank of major general, sat downwind and saw the surprised expression of her man. Looking at it, I couldn't help but be shocked.

The whispers in the room continued. A group of female soldiers attached to the Secretariat of the General Command of the Defence Forces. Tea is being served in turn.

Hu Dashuai rolled his eyes and took the teacup, glanced at Yan Nuxia helplessly in the air, and then held the teacup and looked at his nose and nose, and went to settle down. Shen Bin, the adjutant standing behind him, looked at the sky innocently, and quietly moved back, vacating a position.

Everyone in the room focused all their attention on the papers in their hands. It's too late to worry about your position. No one noticed that next to Hu Dashuai, who was sitting at the top of the oval conference table like a moon, there was a beautiful girl wearing a Wehrmacht uniform and not wearing any military rank.

"Smack"

"Governor. When we followed the Governor from birth to death, did the Governor sell us like this? Just give up my Wuchang Wuchang Military Government to others?! ”

In silence, a middle-aged man wearing a Wuchang New Army uniform, with an angry face, angrily dropped the documents in his hand and got up to hold accountable.

"What words! They are all revolutionary comrades, and the contribution of comrades from Anhui to the revolution is obvious to all, not to mention the recovery of the Shanghai-Nanjing line, that is, our three towns in Wuchang were all preserved by the brothers of the National Defense Army! ”

Li Yuanhong, who was outside the world, was furious when he heard this, held back his anger, and frowned.

A series of bigwigs from the same camp around him, such as Sun Wu, also had ugly faces, which was too ugly! What kind of character are you, dare to speak to the governor like this?!

"Hmph, Hu Xiaolian deceives people too much! I have followed Mr. Sun many times from birth to death, and the Wuchang Uprising could not have been done without the command of Mr. Sun and our Alliance?! Coalition government senate, hum, deceive people too much! ”

The middle-aged man didn't take Li Yuanhong's anger in his eyes at all, and scolded fearlessly.

"Shut up! They are all revolutionary comrades, and the merger of the two provinces and the unification of the military and government is a great prosperity today! For the future of the revolution! They are all revolutionary comrades, and they must not be falsely spoken! ”

Minister of Military Affairs Sun Wu couldn't sit still, this guy is also an old qualification, a member of the Alliance, and Chen Qimei, the governor of Shanghai, has a bad relationship. He has always relied on the old and sold the old, and regarded himself as a high lord. It's not strange for him to say this, but it's just that he is so careless at the meeting that people can't get off the stage.

In all fairness, Sun Wu was also very dissatisfied with the appointment of Anhui. From the Minister of Military Affairs to the Director of the Wuchang Police Station, this status gap is not ordinarily large. Although the salary is not low, he, Sun Wu, is not a corrupt person, and he doesn't care much about those rules and regulations. But the gap in status is in front of me, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

But who made the fist big, Hanyang defeated Beiyang twice, this ability, Sun Wu is envious, jealous and hateful! After considering the pros and cons, seeing that the salary of the police commissioner was still quite high, Sun Wu still gritted his teeth and chose to stay. In Li Yuanhong's faction, most of the other bigwigs also chose to stay.

What are you kidding, staying for free is good to have a place to live in peace. On the other side of Nanjing, a group of pure selfish white-eyed wolves, it's strange that they can take care of you.

"You are betraying the revolution and betraying Mr. Sun! Fake Revolution! Warlord! Scum! I will declare to the whole nation your ugly face, and call on 40,000,000 people to denounce you traitors! ”

This one seems to be usually traversal, and he didn't take Sun Wuzhen, the minister of military affairs, in his eyes on the spot. Drawing the revolver at his waist, he roared as he spitted at the stars.

"Presumptuous! It is true that he Sun Wen is a pioneer of the revolution, but we joined the revolution in order to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and return 40,000 people to a Qingming! It's for me! How could we, such revolutionaries, ever become his followers of Sun Wen?! We weishenme want to be loyal to him, Sun Wen, everyone?! We betrayed the revolution, okay, the Tao is not the same, you please go out! Let the people of the world see who betrayed the revolution! Who the hell is the fake revolution! ”

Without waiting for Hu Rui to get mad, Hu Shi'an, the head of the Propaganda Department, couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table, got up and scolded.

He has long been unaccustomed to some of the activities of the Alliance, and he only has his own selfish interests in his eyes, completely ignoring the overall situation!

In the past, Nanjing bowed its head to the British, and the cynicism of the "Minli Daily" under the control of the League against the Wehrmacht and Hu Rui himself also made Hu Shi'an grit his teeth with hatred.

It's all a bunch of things, their bones are soft, and they don't care about worshipping foreigners. Now it is not easy for someone to stand up for the sake of the country's righteousness and national survival, but because you are not from the Alliance, you are sneering and secretly stumbling.

What kind of thing is this! With such a figure in power and a government in place, is there a way out for this country?!

"The Tao is not the same, Minister Hu said very well, my generation of soldiers threw their heads and spilled their blood, for the sake of the Chinese nation! For the sake of China! Within our national defense forces, they are all men who stand up to the sky, worthy of the country and the people! As for Sun someone, it has nothing to do with us! Please take care of yourself! ”

The heat was almost over, and Hu Rui, who was the most protagonist, got up and said.

"I'm not leaving, I want to see what kind of tricks you sanctimonious fake revolutionaries can come up with!"

The middle-aged man with a blue and red face who was refuted by Hu Shi'an played the identity of a scoundrel and the patriarch of the Self-Holder Alliance. Holding his head high, brandishing a pistol, he shouted.

"Take it away!"

The Wehrmacht generals present all clenched their fists and glared angrily. I can't see you when I'm fighting, and I'm going to scream! We have a fake revolution, then you might as well be a fake revolution!

What a thing, something that is ambitious and talented! Or is our marshal right, the alliance will be a group of mouth cannons, ambitious and talented, it is strange to be able to achieve great things!

"Hu Xiaolian, you dare!"

Looking at the guards rushing in, the middle-aged man shouted stiffly.

But no one in the room just paid attention.

"Take it away, keep people in the conference room, no dogs!"

Gouging out his ears, Hu Rui ordered without difficulty.

The internal security forces of the Wehrmacht were mainly composed of the heroes of the Swallow Gang at the beginning, and many elites from the training battalion were added later. Actual combat training beyond the norm, the most advanced weapons and equipment, and double military salaries and subsidies have created the style of this unit to be unruly and dare to fight.

As soon as his handsome voice fell, a second lieutenant who had long been unable to see it raised the butt of his gun and smashed it in the face.

"Unload the gun and tow it away!"

Wiping the blood from the butt of his rifle, the second lieutenant instructed the guards who rushed in with him.

On January 9, 1912, when Sun Wen rushed from Shanghai to Nanjing, he was about to hold an internal celebration meeting of the League. The General Headquarters of the National Defense Forces in Wuchang, in the name of the coalition government, electrified the whole country. The reunification of Anhui and Hubei provinces was officially announced, and the coefficients of military and political affairs were unified. Li Yuanhong, the former governor of the Wuchang Provisional Military Government, was appointed as the deputy leader of the coalition government, and Hu Xiaolian, the former commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the coalition government!

At the same time, it was announced that the army would be expanded!

One integrated division, two second-class divisions, and a regiment of local garrisons, a total of 32,000 people! (To be continued......)
