Chapter 82: Reorganization and the Northern Expedition XII

"We can now be regarded as riding a tiger, guarding Anhui, the land of four wars, itself has attracted the peeps of both the revolutionary party and Beiyang. Previously, we took advantage of the danger to knock Li Yuanhong on a bamboo pole, and now we have hurt Beiyang again. Dashuai, we are about to become the target of public criticism. ”

Shaoxing master Guan Ziqing, holding his short beard, said in disappointment.

"You ......"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Dabiao, the commander of the Fourth Division, who was sitting opposite, was furious, gritting his teeth and preparing to go crazy.

In today's Anhui Revolutionary Army, the cadets from the first phase of the training battalion have basically worked to the position of brigade commander, and those who are better mixed, such as Wang Dabiao, have become division commanders. No matter how the position changes, it can't change the fact that these guys from the training camp are diehard loyalists of the Hu family. At the beginning of the training camp, the brainwashing work was done well, and one by one the chief instructors were worshiped as gods. From the beginning of the military uniform of the Anhui Revolutionary Army on the ship, their fate was linked to this army and the chief instructor.

In the training camps, they received an ideological and military education that was significantly ahead of its time. As a direct result, the students trained in the training camp were incompatible with the ordinary officers of this era, both in terms of ideology and style. While being ostracized and isolated, it was natural that the strong Anhui army became their only conversion.

There are many reasons why these bandits have this almost religious worship of the chief instructor Hu Rui, and no one can smear the chief instructor and the Anhui army.

"Da Biao, sit down!"

Hu Rui scolded in a low voice, and at the same time pulled Sanniang, who was also in a posture, to sit down.

"Yes!"

The chief instructor spoke, and Wang Dabiao glared at Guan Ziqing, who was a villain, viciously, and stopped his waist like an iron tower.

"Master Guan must have read "Three Kingdoms", where do you think the strengths and weaknesses of Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, the old rivals? Why did Zhuge Liang go out of Qishan in vain. And Sima Yi has the advantage, but he can't completely annihilate the Shu army every time?! ”

Hu Rui glanced at the officers and staff members sitting in the headquarters, and said with a straight face.

Maybe it's time to go to class, and if people don't work together, they won't be productive. The capable people of this era have the limitations of the times, and they do not have a long-term vision.

"This ...... The handsome, the old man is shallow in learning, and he only knows that Zhuge Liang's good internal affairs are shorter than conspiracy, and marching and fighting is not a strong point, especially taking into account internal affairs. Sima Yi, on the contrary, is far from being comparable to Zhuge Kongming's ability to march and fight! ”

The officers present were better. The people who can sit here are all middle and senior officers in An Huijun, and they are all diehard loyalists of the Hu family from the teaching battalion. No matter what happens, they support the chief instructor, and they don't care about the rest!

Isn't there a saying in the teaching camp, the soldiers dare not govern!

The officers of the first cadre and colonel watched the development of the situation calmly and leisurely. Prepare to gloat and see how these sour strategists who question the chief instructor's decision are deflated.

"What kind of thing is this......

"yes, yes, not stupid at all......"

Unlike the calm and relaxed officers. A group of masters, including Guan Ziqing, all blew up. Muttered quietly.

As masters, it is their job to make suggestions and speculate on their intentions, so in the face of Hu Rui's almost unrelated question, they scratched their ears and cheeks.

"You are all learned people who have read the books of sages and sages, and naturally you must have heard the remarks that the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook."

Hu Rui was very pleased with the appearance of the scribes scratching their ears and cheeks, and their hands and feet were at a loss. He knocked on the table and said.

The literati are inferior to each other, and since the end of the Qing Dynasty, they have always emphasized literature over martial arts, so those who have a little knowledge of everything have a high opinion of themselves. The group of masters in his hands is even better. Master Shaoxing has great ability, which has been fully proven in parallel history. Those who can be screened from large and small yamen institutions in Anqing and Wuhu naturally have two brushes.

But being useful doesn't mean being useful, especially for those who think highly of themselves. Not to mention the cliques in private, this group of old masters has always looked down on the Anhui army generals who were born with mud legs, and it is commonplace to compete for favor. It is not uncommon for him to criticize some of Hu Rui's practices in private, and if this group of bureaucratic strategists can be effective, they must be beaten from time to time.

"Dashuai, do you mean that Yuan Xiangcheng raises his own respect?!"

Among the strategists, a master surnamed Huang was the first to react, gasped, and slapped the table and exclaimed.

"I'm afraid it's not just that, Yuan Xiangcheng and his drunkards don't mean to drink."

Smart people always understand it at one point, and Guan Ziqing quickly turned the corner, gasping and solemnly conforming to the Tao.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current chaotic China is no worse than the Three Kingdoms back then! Yuan Shikai has been ambitious since he was a child, and when he was a teenager, he wrote the poems of Daze Long Fang Lie and Central Plains Lu Zhengfei, which is enough to show this person's ambition! Since the beginning of the training of the small station, Yuan Xiangcheng has been laying out his own immortal tablet in the Beiyang Army, and it can be said that the Beiyang Army has been Yuan Xiangcheng's descendant since its establishment! Three years ago, he was demoted by the Qing court to go fishing in Huanshui, and he went for three whole years! It wasn't until the world was in chaos and the heroes rose up together that they were pulled out to serve as a firefighting team. The three years that Yuan Xiangcheng left Beiyang were also the three years of rapid expansion of Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen and others. Although Beiyang, who entered the country, is still Yuan Xiangcheng's descendants, the generals who commanded the troops under him are no longer Wuxia Ameng, so Yuan Xiangcheng can't make a statement. Yuan Xiangcheng also spent a lot of money in order to win over these generals, and the current Beiyang is not monolithic. The old generals who are wrapped up with silver, although they are still descendants, it is inevitable to have different dreams in private. ”

Hu Rui paused, squinted his eyes, swept around his subordinates who were holding his breath, and nodded, his learning attitude was still good.

"Take this suppression of the Wuchang Uprising as an example, the Beiyang Army is the foundation that Yuan Xiangcheng relies on for his livelihood, and he is reluctant to let go of his fists and feet. He Yuan Xiangcheng was forced to fish in Huanshui for three whole years, and it would be a strange thing if he could still give up on the Qing court! Promoting peace with war, talking while fighting, and currying tricks at both ends, this is Yuan Shikai's real purpose! But it's a pity, now Yuan Shikai has formed an independent cabinet, but there are Zhao Erxun and others who support the army and respect themselves. Still finally Qing court, there are Feng Guozhang and others, also inclined to the Manchu Qing. His old Yuan can't let go of his hands and feet at all, so he has to raise Kou to be self-respecting! Wuchang is the land of the first righteousness, and it also serves as the Hanyang Gun Factory and guards the Yangtze River Basin. Once Wuchang is captured, it will be a great blow to the revolutionary party, both militarily and morale! The independent provinces are linked to the possibility of being annexed by the Manchus, and once a revolution is destroyed, the fate of Yuan Xiangcheng will not be better than three years ago! Feng Guozhang, one of the three heroes of Beiyang and Beiyang, who can be led by a second-class baron, attacked Wuchang desperately. Hmph, he Yuan Xiangcheng is naturally not stupid enough to make wedding dresses for others! The same is true for us! Wuchang is the land of righteousness, and this Li Yuan Hongli Bodhisattva is not a fuel-efficient lamp. At the beginning, he was caught from under the bed by the revolutionary party and forced to sit in the position of governor with a pistol. Now it's more alive and more moisturized. is already coveting the presidential throne, and is secretly pushing the tide in order to compete for military power. Keep making small moves. Huang Xing's command ability is not to be said. The Hankow counteroffensive is the most obvious proof of this. Li Yuanhong is the siege of the first righteousness, and he can secretly compete with Huang Xing, who is supported by Sun Cannon, so there is no need to say it to us. So what I want is to push Li Yuanhong into a desperate situation, and then let's help again! He Yuan Xiangcheng raises his own respect, let's use the way of others to give back his body! The Wuchang Central Provisional Government only had less than 500,000 Long Yang in its hands, plus the local people's army suffered heavy losses. It's only a matter of time before they are divided. Next, we have to deal with the hungry wolf who jumped over the wall against Feng Guozhang, and internally, we must step up the dismantling of the alliance in Liliang in Wuchang as soon as possible. ”

After finishing the tirade, Hu Rui grabbed the quilt in front of Sanniang nearby. Took a big gulp.

"Pity me and wait for the frog at the bottom of the well, I don't even know it! Hahahaha, how can the light of the candle compete with the sun and the moon?! Dashuai, I have waited for the people of the rotten wood to obey, and I will never dare to make a royal round of decisions against the governor in the future. We are willing to follow the great handsome and carry out the gift of disciples! Students, I've seen the handsome! ”

As the leader of this group of strategists, Guan Ziqing stood up in a daze for a long time, crying and laughing, jumping and jumping wildly, and rushing at Hu Rui is a disciple.

"Student, I've seen a handsome!"

Someone took the lead, and the rest of the masters immediately followed suit, and their attitudes were more respectful than one another. Of course, I don't know how much of this can be sincere, but today's old thinking of these old strategists are indeed shocked.

"Everyone, please get up, hurry up! I can't do it, I can't do it! ”

Hu Rui made a gesture and helped him for a while, and it was comfortable to talk to smart people, and it was thorough at one point. In the future, these guys will not only be capable, but they will also be useful! At least it's much easier to use than before.

While busy appeasing the broken glass hearts of these masters, Hu Rui did not forget to sneak a wink at Sanniang in his busy schedule, which means "You are a man, I am amazing, right?!" ”

"It's cold, it's quite cold on this big night."

Hu Rui muttered and took off his freshman year and draped it on Sanniang.

"Huh~ Yes, there are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat, and it will be difficult for the poor to endure this winter. Those who sell their sons and daughters are fine, but those who freeze to death and starve to death...... Lao Hu, when it snows, let's go build a snowman, okay? You take me to try the skiing you mentioned, and I haven't even tried it yet. ”

Sanniang rubbed her frozen red hands, looked at Hu Dashuai who was constipated, and changed her tone, and immediately made up for it as if she was coquettish.

All kinds of busy, these two goods wear military uniforms all day, and they meet in the headquarters and offices much more often than in private. This uniform temptation is a good thing, but people are picky eaters, aren't they? I also have to change the flavor and adjust it. It's rare to get rid of those old masters, and push part of the work to the master's door, and go out shopping with a private visit to the micro-service. This flower is under the moon, and this peerless classical beauty is worried about the country and the people with one mouth......

Hu Dashuai said that the egg pain felt very uncomfortable!

"Fool!"

Feeling Sanniang's apology and flattery, Hu Dashuai arrogantly threw out a sentence, and then pulled Sanniang's frozen red little hand, put it in his wide palm, and patiently warmed it.

"Let's use amphibious together to relieve the siege of Hanyang. Feng Guozhang was red-eyed, and it was estimated that the people's army on the Hankou front line was about to suffer. Huang Xing's command ability, he will not be willing to lose all the belongings in his hands! I have already sent an infantry regiment and a reconnaissance company to quietly station at Guodi Mountain on the flank of Hankou, and the Beiyang Army will fight in the same way as Little Japan! Flanking detours is the usual trick, and having them can at least ensure the safety of Hankow. Let's take a rest in Wuchang now, it will take time to arrange troops and deploy something, and we will also have to coordinate the battle. There is still a little bit of the opening fee given by Li Yuanhong, plus the money donated by the squire in Anqing, we brought almost 800,000 yuan this time. Tomorrow, I will ask people to go to Li Yuanhong's place to comfort him. Let's purchase a batch of winter clothes and food to help a group of people in Wuchang. In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs! ”

Hu Rui said to himself while rubbing Sanniang's cold red hands.

"Lao Hu, am I too selfish?"

Wearing Hu Rui's coat and looking at Hu Rui who patiently warmed his hands, Sanniang suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Poof~ Okay, haode, why did you think of asking this?! It's okay, it's okay, it's the same with me! Relax, O you, don't have guilty thoughts! I'm a man, I should accommodate you and spoil you! Didn't you say it, you're stupid and I'm smart! So you get into trouble, I'll clean it up! It's okay, don't take it personally! We finally stole half a day of leisure, although it was in the middle of the night, but it was also a waste. Come on, come on, okay? Put on the scarf again, no matter how good your kung fu is, you are afraid of freezing, and you don't know how to protect yourself when you go out. You, you need someone to love you, otherwise you will be trampled to death by yourself sooner or later! ”

While enlightening, he put on a scarf for Sanniang, and kept talking. Although some words are a bit wordy and not good, for Sanniang, they fall in the bottom of my heart and are warm.

Someone hurts. It feels so good to have someone pampered!

"Sanniang, you didn't bring those guys in your department, did you?"

A cold wind blew, Hu Rui tightened his coat, glanced at the dark place behind him that the street lamp couldn't illuminate, and suddenly asked.

"No, you dragged me all the way out sneakily, I didn't scream, and they probably didn't find out. What's wrong? ”

Sanniang wore leather gloves that were obviously one size bigger, and the warmth on her body was all his breath. Turning his head, he asked strangely.

"It's okay, I'm afraid that a little light bulb will follow, and it won't be convenient if you want to do something!"

Hu Rui touched his nose and smiled lewdly. With the help of the dim street lamp, he carefully looked around. This street is the most prosperous place in Wuchang, close to the courtyard of the carved tile flying sorghum, and the people who live here are either rich or expensive. But beyond that, there were no street lights, and in the white moonlight, the dirty furnishings and dilapidated shantytowns on the roadsides could be faintly seen, apparently a settlement for refugees and the poor. At night, it is a chaotic time, and it will not be peaceful.

"Not serious! Let's go, let's go get something to eat and go shopping again. ”

Sanniang glanced at her with disgust, obviously because she had long been accustomed to someone's irregular nervous disconnection. According to Hu Rui's method, taking advantage of the fact that he had no acquaintances in private, he generously stepped on Hu Rui's arm and walked towards a nearby stall.

"Crazy men and women" came out in a hurry, and they didn't have time to eat yet. The road is pressed in the winter, and the stomach has long protested.

"Listen to you!"

Feeling Sanniang's rare boldness, Hu Rui shook his head, temporarily suppressed the worry in his heart, and responded dotingly.

As he spoke, he walked hand in hand towards the neighboring stalls, and at night, when there was a shortage of soldiers, the big restaurants on both sides of the street were closed. This small stall selling food is still waiting for customers in the cold wind, either with ulterior motives or forced by life. (To be continued......)
