Li Yuanhong personally awarded medals to the officers and soldiers of Wang Longzhong who aided Hubei, and separately rewarded the officers and soldiers of the second battalion with 100,000 yuan, and hoped that they would continue to bravely kill the enemy and make more contributions to the revolution......

But at this time, Wang Longzhong, who was the co-ordinator, did not plan to stay in Hubei, he wanted to go back to Hunan.

Wang Longzhong's thoughts of returning to Hunan were not immediate, first, because of distrust, since the reorganization of the Hunan-Hunan Army, from the bottom of his heart, Wang Longzhong was no longer willing to obey Huang Xing's command. Second, after all, his hometown of Hunan is the foundation of him and his army, and he feels that it is necessary for him to rush back to Changsha with his troops, and find Tan Yanmin and others as the governor of Jiaodu, and the governor of Chen to discuss an explanation. Otherwise, if Tan Yanmin and they sit firmly, it will be too late to go back.

So that night, at the celebration banquet set up by the Hubei Military Government, Wang Longzhong directly bypassed Huang Xing, the commander-in-chief, and directly submitted his resignation to Governor Li Yuanhong, who was on the rise.

Governor Li Dadu really scared the Beiyang Army in Hankou, although the Beiyang Army stopped military operations because of the destruction of supplies, but what will happen next, who knows? Perhaps when the supplies will be replenished, Hanyang will be another vicious battle, so he does not agree with Wang Longzhong to withdraw to Hunan with the aid of the Hunan-Hunan army. You must know that Wang Longzhong is no longer just three battalions at the moment, after absorbing the rest of Liu Yutang, this guy has five battalions of nearly 4,000 men and horses, not to mention the 2,000 men and horses of Gan Xindian, who are also following behind his ass. Such an army of six or seven thousand people who have been formally trained and tested in actual combat, at this critical juncture, is the capital to save their lives, how can Li Yuanhong be willing to let them return to their hometowns.

In addition, Li Yuanhong is very clear about one thing, this counterattack on Hanshui was originally lost. And according to the eyeliner report that he planted in the wartime headquarters, the loss was very complete and a mess. But Zuihou relied on the bold night attack of this group of Hunan soldiers to miraculously turn defeat into victory, reverse the entire battle situation, and stabilize the situation in Hanyang in front of him. At this time, how can you let him Wang Longzhong go, as soon as they leave, who will guard Hanyang?

So Li Yuanhong hurriedly promised to make up for the military salary and ammunition, and only hoped that Wang Longzhong could be stationed in Hanyang for a longer period of time.

But Wang Longzhong was unmoved and still insisted on leaving. He is like a mirror in his heart, he has been out for more than a month, and wait? When Tan Yanmin and the others sit firmly in the position of Hunan Governor, they will have no chance. So no matter what Li Yuanhong promised, Wang Longzhong just didn't let go.

Later, Sun Wu and others from the Hubei Military Government also came to persuade one after another, and Huang Xing, who learned the news a little later, was also surprised to rush back to Wuchang from Hanyang overnight, and tried his best to persuade Wang Longzhong to take care of the overall situation, but it didn't work.

Wang Longzhong didn't expect that he would be so valued by the Hubei Military Government, although his determination to go back did not change at all, but it was not easy to do things in the face.

During the conversation with Huang Xing, Wang Longzhong said something to Huang Xing very emotionally: "Commander-in-Chief Huang, you know, we all came out to fight the Tartars. But who would have thought that my old king had just come out of Changsha with the team to fight the Tartars with the front foot, and the one surnamed Tan on the back foot would revolutionize the lives of our Jiao Dudu and Chen Dudu. I thought that right and wrong were very clear in black and white, but my old king has been on the front line for a month, fighting life and death with the Tartars, and losing nearly 2,000 brothers, not to mention. From beginning to end, I have never seen even a comrade stand up and say the first half of the matter about the killing of Jiao Dudu and Chen Dudu, even he Tan Renfeng. You must know that when Wuchang was in danger, we came to Jiao Du Du to borrow troops, but our Jiao Da Du Du didn't have a vague word, and sent all of our reliable men and horses. Otherwise, the one surnamed Mei will be able to move half of our Jiao Dudu and Chen Dudu with the strength of one battalion, and go to TMD. But Jiao Dudu and Chen Dudu died unexpectedly, did he Tan Renfeng say that he wanted to avenge our Dudu? Not at all, isn't it true that Jiao Chen and the two governors are not revolutionary comrades against the Tartars, they are the lackeys of the Tartars. So, don't give an explanation, right? Ignore it, huh? Pretend to be stupid, huh? Okay, my old king has no one to rely on, so I will take my brothers back to Changsha and ask for an explanation for our Jiao Du Governor and Chen Du Governor. Commander-in-Chief Huang, don't say anything, don't persuade me, although my old Wang is a muddy person, but I also understand the reason, I am a straight talker, with a big temper, I have offended you, but you don't care about it. I know that you are not here to be an official, you are really here to revolution, and I can't refute your face. So I leave my nephew's second battalion at your command. In case my old king goes back to Changsha this time, and he is killed by those bastards like Jiao Dudu and Chen Dudu, you can take more care of Wenzheng's kid for me. This kid has been with me since he was twelve years old, and after running for so many years, I won't take him back to Hunan to wade into troubled waters. Please! ”

After speaking, Wang Longzhong stood up with tears in his eyes, bowed to Huang Xing, and then closed his eyes, not allowing Huang Xing to open his mouth to persuade him.

Huang Xing saw that Wang Longzhong was determined, and it was difficult to return, so he could only get up and say: "Wang Xietong is indeed a person of the most affectionate and sexual, if Jiao Dudu and Chen Dudu know underground, they will be blinded when they think about it." I see, so I'm leaving. ”

In the evening of the same day, Wang Longzhong convened a meeting of all the officers above the battalion level and told everyone that he would return to Hunan, and that the second battalion would remain in Hubei and continue to obey the command of Huang Xing, the commander-in-chief of the war.

After the meeting ended, Wang Longzhong left Wang Zhenyu behind: "Wenzheng, uncle returned to Hunan this time, the future is unknown, the outcome is unpredictable, I have to leave you in Hubei, you don't have any opinion, right?" ”

Wang Zhenyu admired Wang Longzhong's coarseness and finesse, and he also knew that the probability of success in going back this time was not high, after all, there was no record of this operation in later history textbooks, so it was naturally unsuccessful.

He nodded: "Uncle, it's not good for my nephew to go back, it's okay to stay in Hubei, if there is any situation, uncle, you will come here, at least there are so many brothers here." But uncle, do we have to go back to Hunan to fight for this statement? ”

Wang Longzhong shook his head: "Uncle can't help it, Tan Yanmin is amazing." A friend in Changsha sent a letter, saying that this Tan Dudu was very good at buying people's hearts, and the old troops of Jiao Dudu and Chen Dudu were either eliminated or sent to the front line in Hubei. According to this trend, it won't be long before he, the governor, will be completely secure, and he won't have to hope for the throne, and he will be lucky to be able to take revenge. If I continue to stay in Hubei and do not return, it is estimated that when I return to Hunan after the war, what I will leave for our uncle and nephew will be dismissed. My uncle joined the army at the age of fifteen, and after so many years, if he really didn't lead the army, it was estimated that he would have to go back to his hometown in Baoqing Mansion to farm land and collect rent. Farming is nothing, and it is far easier than being an official. I'm afraid that if these villains don't forget to harm me when the time comes, then my uncle will really become two hundred and five. ”

Wang Zhenyu also knows that there is such a thing as power, and once he starts to fight, he does not take a step back at all. He nodded, saying no more.

Wang Longzhong told him a few more words, mainly to be optimistic about the troops and do a good job in training.

On November 24, Wang Long, the first co-commander of the first division of the Hunan-Hunan Army, and Gan Xindian, the third co-commander of the Zhonghui, officially announced the evacuation of Wuhan and returned to Changsha.

When Li Yuanhong, the governor of the Hubei Military Government, learned of this, he was very angry and sent a telegram to the Hunan Military Government in Changsha, demanding in stern terms that Tan Yanhong, the governor of the Hunan Military Government, severely punish him for his behavior of deserting from the battlefield. This is probably the biggest joke during the Xinhai Revolution, Tan Yanmin himself didn't know how to face this murderous team of people who went straight to Changsha, Li Yuanhong actually asked him to punish him, he was really speechless!

Wang Zhenyu has also been more upset recently, although relying on his excellent and even slightly magical performance in the first battle of Hankou, he has now become a well-known figure in the whole country and an excellent representative of the officers of the people's army. But the wheel of history is still stubbornly moving forward according to its original trajectory, the only difference is that because of the small butterfly effect of the night attack on Yudaimen, Duan Qirui took the command of the First Army from Feng Guozhang twenty days earlier than in history. Moreover, the Qing government was forced to agree to a temporary truce between the north and the south three days in advance for various reasons, and Li Yuanhong also avoided the cold joke that he ran to Wuchang for forty miles, and Wan Yaohuang chased the governor to take the big seal to stamp the armistice book in the starry night.

But these have nothing to do with Wang Zhenyu, and the most fundamental problem is still not solved, what should I do after the revolution?

Following the clan uncle Wang Longzhong, you don't have to think about it, it must be Mao's future, because there is no such person in history. In other words, this time, Wang Longzhong ran back to seize power under the banner of revenge for Jiao Dudu and Chen Dudu, and he definitely did not succeed. Politics is a thing, sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and then it is estimated that the clan uncle will have to withdraw from the political stage. Follow him, it's better to follow Lu Diping, at least in the future, when Xiao Luzi becomes the chairman of Jiangxi Province, he can still get a division commander and brigade commander to do it, no matter how useless, it is always okay to be the director of education, it's okay to drum up the industrialization of education in advance, grab this opportunity that has been stinking for thousands of years, and see who dares to fight for this big dung in the future.

Following Tan Yanmin and Tan Dudu, it seems that this person is okay in the Republic of China, at least he has not been silent, and he is still a big man until he dies. But after all, he is Wang Longzhong's cheap nephew, but at this point, it would be nonsense to say that each other can be new. Besides, even if Tan Yanmin really believes in himself generously and reuses himself, how promising can he be? Don't look at Lao Tan, in Hunan, the land of the four wars during the Republic of China, he can play a three-time governor, and he also occupies a place in the national government behind. But that's because he is the boss, he is bankrupt and is still trying to make a comeback, he is a part-time worker, how can he toss with him so much, and Lao Tan's later descendants Cheng Qian, Zhao Hengti, Tang Shengzhi After Lao Tan's death, one is more unreliable than the other, is it unreliable for him to follow? During the Republic of China, the Hunan army actually did not become a climate at all, and completely became a high-quality source of soldiers for the major warlords. So I basically didn't think about it anymore, and there was no future for both the big and small ends.

So what should I do in the face of the next troubled times? Whether it is Yuan Shikai or Sun Yat-sen, it is estimated that if he goes to take refuge now, people will not look at him squarely. With this little bit of military exploits and this little army, it's okay to fool the common people. These big people must have a standard for judging everyone's use value, and their current situation will definitely not meet the standard. Alas......
