Chapter 61: The Troubles of the Mud Bodhisattva (Subscription Requested)
。 Wuchang. Cao Sanye is in the process of reorganizing the new army, Li Yuanhong, the mud bodhisattva, is turning a blind eye to Cao Sanye's actions, the mud bodhisattva is really afraid of things, he doesn't want to cause trouble.
Li Yuanhong is also a person who has been on the battlefield, and during the First Sino-Japanese War, he served as a pipe band and led his fleet to support the Beiyang Naval Division. At that time, Li Yuanhong was not a mud bodhisattva, he was an iron King Kong.
Before his fleet reached the predetermined place, it was attacked by the Japanese army, and the other ships ran and sank, and only Li Yuanhong's own warships fought to the death against the Japanese. As a result, he was outnumbered, and the ship was almost sunk by the little Japanese.
The Japanese asked him to surrender, but he did not agree. At that time, he was full of enthusiasm, and he thought that soldiers should die on the battlefield, and as the pipe belt of the fleet, he should sink with the ship. So, Li Yuanhong put on a cool pose, shouted a very loud slogan, and plunged into the sea!
He wanted to be a martyr.
But sometimes fate is like that, the whole fleet is finished, those who want to run have not run away, and those who want to live have died, but only Li Yuanhong, who doesn't want to live, survived. The waves swept him back to the Qing Dynasty.
The First Sino-Japanese War was lost, and Li Yuanhong suffered a serious blow. The Qing Dynasty had to find a scapegoat to take responsibility for the failure of that battle, the big man above couldn't move, and most of the other commanders of the fleet had seen Hades, so he, the little man, had to come out and take responsibility for the failure of the entire fleet.
Li Yuanhong, who bravely killed the enemy, was not only not praised, but was also imprisoned for a year. Since then, Li Yuanhong has known that more things are better than less, and it is better to be a hero than to shrink his head and be a bear.
Now the situation in Wuchang is very chaotic, and after the news of Lord Zhang's death in Liaodong is confirmed, the morale of the new army here is a little unstable, and those revolutionaries are very active. Li Yuanhong didn't care about him, he didn't suppress the revolutionaries. Nor is it supported.
He did not participate in the revolution, and it was not his duty to suppress the revolution, and if it was not his duty, he should not be careful. That's what the mud bodhisattva is doing now. Cao Sanye's reorganization of the new army is the same, Cao Kun wants to reorganize, and the overseer corps composed of the children of the Eight Banners is to obstruct the reorganization. Li Yuanhong let go and let Cao Kun fight with those Eight Banners.
As for the benefits of Lao Yuan, Li Yuanhong knew in his heart that some people couldn't believe it, and some words couldn't be heard.
Cao Kun was very dissatisfied with this attitude of the mud bodhisattva, and early this morning, Cao Kun kicked open the door of Li Yuanhong's house with a gun: "Li Yuanhong! Get out of here! ”
Li Yuanhong was still enjoying life in the quilt of his sixth concubine, and when he heard Cao Sanye's roar at the door, he suddenly panicked and hurriedly climbed out of the quilt and put on a few clothes.
As if he was afraid that Cao Sanye and the others would be impatient, he didn't even buckle the buttons, so he ran out of the house in a panic: "Oops." Why is the third master so early today? Didn't have breakfast? ”
Cao Kun glanced at Li Yuanhong, he always thought that it was really a failure to be a man like Li Yuanhong, and he didn't know what Zhang Zhidong liked about Li Yuanhong at the beginning, and actually asked him to preside over the military in the Lianghu area.
"Less! Didn't Lao Tzu tell you the day before yesterday that you should gather all the generals of the troops in the Lianghu area. Why didn't even half of the people who came to the meeting yesterday? The Governor is furious! Lao Tzu is also angry! ”
The Governor was very angry, and Cao Sanye was also very angry, which had very serious consequences for Li Yuanhong.
Li Yuanhong's whole face became bitter: "Third master, can I still stumble on you in this relationship?" I commanded in your presence, and you saw it! ”…,
Of course, Cao Kun knew that this matter had nothing to do with Li Yuanhong, and it was Ruicheng, the governor of the two lakes, who really stumbled him. The Manchu magnates didn't want to see Yuan Shikai take control of the country's military. After Cao Kun came, Na Ruicheng tried every means to make trouble for him.
Cao Kun is actually not a teacher to ask for guilt, he just hopes that Li Yuanhong can help him, anyway, Li Yuanhong is very prestigious among these soldiers of the New Army, and with his help, he can make his things go more smoothly.
Cruel words are enough to a certain extent, Cao Sanye understands the mud bodhisattva, and he can't force him too hard, otherwise he will turn back into Iron King Kong, and things will be difficult to do.
Cao Sanye frowned, walked over and hugged Li Yuanhong's shoulders: "Brother, brother, I'm not forcing you, I know you don't want to offend people, but the current situation doesn't allow you to do this." To put it mildly, I'm here for the sake of my brother! ”
Li Yuanhong smiled: "Hehe, that's, that's." ”
Cao Kun put his head to his ear: "Brother, I'm not afraid to tell you, the foreigners in Beijing have already said that they support the governor, and it is a matter of time for a while, and it is still too late for you to stand in line now!" ”
Li Yuanhong's heart was panicked, he was not panicked and was about to change the dynasty, but he was a little afraid that Cao Kun told him about this, he understood very well that the less he knew about the secret, the better.
Cao Kun didn't say anything more, his eyes swept around the courtyard: "I said, brother, you should understand what to do, right?" ”
Li Yuanhong nodded hurriedly: "Understood, understood." ”
Cao Kun let go of him: "I'll leave first, you will give me the next notice today, let those generals come over in three days!" Don't make your brother uncomfortable anymore, you won't be happy if your brother is uncomfortable! ”
Leaving this sentence, Cao Kun left the compound with a team of men, Li Yuanhong's head was full of sweat, and his heart was extremely depressed. Weishenme Lao Yuan just took a fancy to him? He shrank his head and behaved as a man, but others still refused to let him go.
Li Yuanhong smiled bitterly on his face, then issue another order, as for whether it will work or not, he doesn't dare to guarantee it. While he was thinking about it, a guard ran in from outside the door: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency has invited you to go to the Governor's Palace, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”
Li Yuanhong's face became extremely embarrassed: "Okay, I know." ”
Ruicheng looked for Li Yuanhong. It was also for the New Army, but his purpose was the opposite of Cao Kun's.
"Song Qing, I heard that Cao Kun went to look for you again in the morning?"
"Yes."
"What did he tell you?"
"Back to the Governor's words, Cao San said that let me give another order, and I must let all the generals come over."
"Hmm. Song Qing, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, this is originally a secret of the imperial court. I shouldn't have told you. But we've worked together for years, and I'm really worried that you're going down the wrong path for a while! Now is the time to test your loyalty and patriotism, and Beijing is ready to do it. Yuan Shikai's days are not a few days away, at this time, you must not take the wrong path......"
Li Yuanhong only felt that his head was big in an instant!
What to do? I want to be a mud bodhisattva. It doesn't matter if you're bullied. But now the situation has really pushed him to the cusp, does it seem that his mud bodhisattva is really difficult to protect himself?
It's been three hours, and the reinforcements still haven't arrived. Zhang Chun didn't know what was going on, all the Japanese figures around him were shaking, he felt the shadow of death hanging over his head, at this moment he was a little scared, a little nostalgic for something.
There are still more than 30 brothers left in a company, and there are four seriously wounded among them. Zhang Chun took advantage of the gap in the battle. Gather all the people together, now there is no platoon leader, everyone is a brother in the trench, and they have to decide their fate together. …,
"Brothers, reinforcements have not yet arrived. I know that everyone has done their best, whether to fight, run, or ...... at this time" Zhang Chun paused here and did not say those two words: "Everyone make up their own minds, no matter what decision you make." I'll take care of the rest of the matter. ”
More than thirty brothers glanced at each other, but none of them spoke. Their hearts are also very desperate, in despair, do they persist or give up? They really don't know.
At this time, a seriously injured squad leader lying on the ground struggled hard to support his body: "Company commander, give me a shot, I don't want to be caught by little Japan." ”
The corners of Zhang Chun's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything, and at this time another soldier said, "I won't surrender!" My hometown is Lushun, my father and my mother died in the hands of the Japanese, Lao Tzu fights one one, and two fights are revenge. ”
The soldier's voice was calm, but it resonated with many people, and another person next to him said: "Yes, company commander, let's fight!" ”
Life, on the battlefield is the least valuable thing.
In front were the Japanese like mad dogs, and behind were reinforcements with no shadow at all, and at this time they either retreated, surrendered, or fought to Zuihou, no matter what choice they made, they were not to blame.
Zhang Chun's eyes swept around the brothers: "Okay! Good brothers, then let's fight with Little Japan, check the bullets! ”
The two LMG checked their magazines, and the two of them combined had less than sixty rounds, as did the other soldiers, some of whom opened the chamber and saw that it was empty, and some of them did not open their magazines at all.
The corners of Zhang Chun's mouth raised a smile: "Brothers, it seems that we are in a catastrophe this time, to be honest with my brothers, Lao Tzu has been a bandit for several years, and it is only after these years that he feels like a person!" In the past, Lao Tzu was afraid to see those fellow villagers when he went down the mountain, that is, he followed the commander, only to know that bandits could also be regarded as this! ”
His eyes seemed to flicker with something, and his eyelids blinked up and down a few times before he suppressed the things that were about to overflow.
"Company commander, the Japanese are coming up again!"
Zhang Chun sniffed his nose, turned around and lay on the trench, his eyes staring at the gradually approaching figures of the Japanese opposite: "Damn, kill one by one!" Kill two and earn one! Today, I want to let these guys know what our Northeast masters are like! Get on the bayonet! ”
The sound of bayonets in the trenches! More than thirty soldiers were lying in front of Zhang Chun and waiting solemnly, ready to greet them in the most glorious way for the soldiers.
Just as the enemy was about to rush to the position, an overwhelming burst of artillery fire smashed over, and the shells penetrated through layers of rain and fog, and smashed over the heads of more than 30 soldiers and smashed towards the Japanese who rushed up on the opposite side!
Zhang Chun was stunned for a moment, and then his heart couldn't help but burst into ecstasy: "Reinforcements are coming!" Brothers! Our reinforcements are coming! (To be continued)
