65 Return to 3

Li Xiang sat down and the four hooves of the war horse flew over, and the horse's hoofs were beeping. In this way, he rushed to the top of the hill against the gentle slope. Zeng Gao and the four also urged the horse to follow closely. At the top of the hill, they strangled their horses and lined up side by side in this narrow highland against the wind. Anlu County was clear in front of their eyes, and Li Xiang was in a happy mood. Lixiang is more and more fond of controlling everything in Huang's Anrong Hall, and he also understands why there are many great talents in history. He would rather be a dictator in the evening. The taste of power is like pure Hai (Luo) Yin. You can be addicted to it once you smoke it, and you can turn a modest gentleman into an addict.

Li wanted to extend his palm far away to the Anlu County in the distance. From his eyes, he just covered the whole Anlu County in the palm of his hand. Li Xiang, who was in a good mood, couldn't help reading a Taizu's words: "Liao Guo, ask the vast earth, who is in charge of the ups and downs?"

Li Xiang's complacency at this moment is more domineering from the boldness contained in the words, and the people on the left and right can't feel it.

"The general is so literary and domineering." Zeng Gao took off his big brim hat, touched the new inch on his head and said.

Zeng Gao's praise felt harsh in Li Xiang's ears, and the pride that Li Xiang had just bulged disappeared in an instant. Zeng Gao is satirizing Li Xiang's performance in Anrong Hall, which is too domineering and autocratic. Li wants to remember that when he was in Chuwangtai, Wuchang, he was doubting whether he would engage in dictatorship.

Li Xiang withdrew his outstretched right hand and smiled as if nothing had happened. As an incompetent youth in the 21st century, he has always hated dictators. In the explosive information world of the 21st century, he has a deep understanding of the dangers of dictatorship. Dictatorship can often make a nation and a country rise rapidly, and it can often drag a nation and country into the abyss. However, drug addicts know the harm of drugs, and after they become addicted to drugs, they will still smoke without hesitation. Li wants to enjoy the taste of power so much now, how should he let go in the future? It was not until he tasted the taste of power at this moment that he really entered this era and realized that after Yuan Shikai became the president, he knew that he had no good end and had been addicted to becoming an emperor. With Yuan Shikai's ability to steal the country, it is impossible not to see the trend of the world, which only shows that his addiction to the feudal imperial power is too deep.

As a time traveler in the 21st century, Li Xiang still dares not think of such a ridiculous idea as an emperor, but whether he can stick to his heart and not be a dictator, he no longer has strong confidence in Chuwangtai. Only find a few more helpers like Zeng Gao who can remind themselves not to be autocratic at any time.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang couldn't help sighing, "The nation is weak and the country is weak. If you don't take strong medicine, you can't cure the country. If it is not autocratic, it is difficult to revolutionize. You have also seen the power of Anrongtang Huang's family in Anlu. Today, I will not be domineering and domineering, and it is difficult for him to give in. At that time, local ethnic groups in all counties in Hubei will follow suit, and the rules and regulations of rent reduction and exemption will become a dead letter. So what will we do to gather the hearts of the people? What will be used to resist the Beiyang Army, which is about to go south? What will be taken to overthrow the rotten Manchu dynasty? What will be taken to drive away the imperialist invading forces in China?

Li Xiang is also full of complaints. He seems to be relaxed as a shopkeeper, but in fact, he is tired of brain cells.

Zeng Gao also felt Li Xiang's resentment and blew into his neck with a cool breeze. Zeng Gao unconsciously shrank his head on the horse. "Darge, I just said casually that you sent such a long string of complaints."

"You're right. I just have feelings. If I get carried away in the future, any of you can remind me. It is also a good way to cultivate democracy, although Li Xiang likes to be arbitrary at many critical moments. This is also what this era needs. The revolution needs a tough leader. Therefore, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who lived in the democratic revolution, always failed because he was not tough enough. Li wanted to touch the dog skin plaster on his forehead. The wound was a little itchy and he couldn't scratch it. Li Xiang, who was on the horse, looked a little restless.

Song Que said, "Sai-in-chief, I think you have done a very good job today. These old men are bold, and the revolutionary army is still in Anlu County, so they dare to make trouble. Let's show them something today. They think that our revolutionaries are easy to bully, and they will dare to rebel tomorrow.

"If you really want to rebel, these local gentry don't have the courage. In fact, they don't care about changing the dynasty. They don't care who is the emperor or the county magistrate. What they really care about is only their own personal interests. Rent reduction just violates their core interests and will naturally attract their resistance. There are not many enlightened gentry like Huang Guangzhong, and there will be fewer gentry who are willing to sacrifice their own interests to support the rent reduction. Liu Jing said that he and Liu Gong are his own family, and the Liu family is also a big family in Xiangyang. He is very clear about the detailed calculations of these landlords. An enlightened gentry like Huang Guangzhong has no real power in the family, and Li wants to push him to the top with a gun. Just like himself, he can't make any difference in family affairs.

Zeng Gao, who is also from a large clan, also feels the same way. "There is no gentle way except for the general to intervene in the election of local family heads with official recognition, so that the local gentry can cooperate with the revolutionary military government. Although it seems domineering, it can only use extraordinary means during extraordinary times. This can't be said to be the marshal's dictatorship.

Liu Jing and Lin Tiechang both nodded and agreed with Zeng Gao's point of view. Song Que was just depressed and speechless. This was not a topic he was interested in. Song Que just interrupted and asked, "Marshal, are we soldiers or are we talking about the war?" Now the Beiyang army is still stranded in Xinyang, and the two forces that invaded Hubei have all been eliminated. What should we do next?

Li said as a matter of course: "Of course, we should actually control the states and counties in Hubei first. Jin Zhaolong is active in all states and counties in western Hubei, such as Hanchuan Liang Zhonghan and Jingshan Liu Ying. There are many brothers in their uprising team. On the line of the Hankou-Xinyang Railway in northern Hubei, there are many former Hubei New Army, among which there are also many party members of the World Association. Lv Zhongqiu has also been sent to this line for activities. Now, with the prestige of our Hankou Revolutionary Army, and some favorable conditions are put on it. It's not a big problem to reorganize the original new army in Hubei and various rebel forces.

Now the original new army in Hubei has no military sound because of the fall of the Qing government in Hubei. And the biggest problem faced by all kinds of insurgents is that there is no military response. They don't know who to ask for money. There are no guns and bullets before, so you can't fight. If you continue to survive, you have to disband or go up the mountain to be a bandit. Of course, some people thought of collecting money from rich people, and Li wanted to do it once in Hankou. But the rich man is an iron rooster. It is too difficult to pull hair from the iron rooster. Li wants to pull out only 180,000 from the rich man in Las Vegas in China. The difficulty of pulling hair from his iron rooster can be imagined. If they can't raise money, they will definitely allocate military expenses to the rich, commonly known as: big eaters. Large households are not delicious. The people sitting in the Wuchang Consultative Bureau are all large households. There must be a big problem with them. Li Xiang doesn't want to mess with those people. Liang Zhonghan and Liu Ying are also the elites from the elder brother's association to the alliance association, and they will not provoke these people unless they have to.

"Liang Zhonghan and Liu Ying hurriedly responded to the Wuchang Uprising this time, and their lives must not be good. If the marshal wants to take over, maybe they will still ask for it. My hometown is in Xiangyang Prefecture. I have many relatives and friends in all states and counties in western Hubei, and I am familiar with the environment. Let me the task of reinstate western Hubei. Liu Jing took the initiative to ask.

The Liu family is a Xiangyang family, with a huge and complex network in the northwest of Hubei. With the surname of Liu in his name, he can have a great influence in Xiangyang. In the late Qing Dynasty, in this era of deep-rooted feudal ideas, the influence of celebrities or big families was huge. Just like the four emperors in the 1990s, they could easily wind up wherever they went. Therefore, there are so many people in Wuchang who ask for the launch of Li Yuanhong's top cylinder and post a notice in his name, which can make the people of Wuchang and even the people of Hubei accept the fact of rebellion.

Of course, Liu Jing is not a saint, and he also has a little selfishness that he didn't say. He has now been on the rise. Although he is only hanging the sign of the regiment leader, in fact, he already has an auxiliary force. Li Xiang felt that their official promotion was too fast recently. The official positions above the Hankou Revolutionary Legion were suddenly raised from the first level of the platoon overnight. It was not so fast to take the train. Li Xiang suppressed their official positions. If Liu Jing's current status is in Qianqing, he can also be called a general. Naturally, Liu Jing wanted to take this opportunity to return to his hometown. In front of his fellow villagers, in front of Liu's rooms, in front of his old father and mother, he offered his treasures, and his precious son Guangzong returned.

"Oi, Xiangyang, you go. Lin Tiechang, you can control the good Wusheng. Li wanted to agree, and the rest of Wu Shengguan fell on Lin Tiechang.

Liu Jing's heart is happy, and Xie Dashuai is in a big butt. Li thought that Liu Jing would still have such vanity. Unlike Zeng Gao, Liu Jing can't see the habits of any children of the family, commonly known as the aristocratic atmosphere. In the battle of Sandaoqiao, it can be seen that his desperate personality is like a rich man who has been wandering for many years. This kind of people love face, but they are not vain.

Zeng Gao said worriedly, "Liang Zhonghan and Liu Ying may not accept our adaptation. The team they have worked hard to pull up is so easy to let go."

"Now the form is urgent, and it is not up to them. I want to unify Hubei as soon as possible. Jin Zhaolong is moving over there, and he can pull over as much as he can. The rest were forcibly adapted when our army suppressed the border. Liang Zhonghan and Liu Ying came to Hankou honestly and went to the National People's Congress to be a member of the Standing Committee. When Li wanted to say this, he felt that his tone smelled like a dictator and quickly shut up.

Zeng Gao showed a wry smile, "I'm just afraid that internal fighting will happen to various insurgents, which will make the enemy see jokes. But in addition to the general's method, there is no better way to quickly unify Hubei. I'm too indecisive, so I'm only suitable to be a staff officer. If you want to do great things, you still need a decisive decision like the general.

is a bold decision, but also arbitrary, or a great dictator. Li can't care so much. There must be someone to make a decision, and there must be someone to carry history. The great man who really carried the modern history of China in history may still herd cattle on a mountain in Shaoshan. Since Li wanted him to travel early, he carried this history by himself, first. If you really can't stand it, leave it to history. Now every decision he makes will affect history, whether it is good or bad. He doesn't know, and he doesn't know how future generations will comment on it. But Li Xiang is very concerned that if the reputation of history is not good, even his son and grandson will be pointed out.

"When the revolution succeeds, I will retire. In fact, I'm very tired, but you don't know. Li Xiang picked up the rein, waved his hand anxiously, and said to Lin Tiechang, "Actually, I know you are also very tired. I shouldn't let you go to Wushengguan. I should give you a day off and go home. But let Zhao Youcheng go back to see his sister first, and you can wait. When Zhao Youcheng returns to the team, I will ask him to take your position and let you go home.

This made Lin Tiechang think of the sad things at home and reluctantly smiled, "Thank you, Marshal! I think it's better to go back to worship my father after the revolutionary situation in Hubei stabilizes.

As soon as Liu Jing heard this, he felt that he was too vain. At this time, he was still thinking about returning to his hometown. He presented treasures in front of his father, which was not as low as Lin Tiechang's consciousness. He shouted to Lin Tiechang, "Brother, the commander-in-chief will give you a vacation to relax. If you hold it like this again, you will get sick. If you are in a stable mood, there will be problems in the war.

Song Que and Zeng Gao also persuaded him to rest. Lin Tiechang didn't think about it, but he always had an idea to escape in his heart and did not dare to face the stubborn father who died in Xiaogan. But if you don't go back, it's like a mental illness. In the end, Lin Tiechang finally made up his mind. Liu Jing was right. He was in a stable mood, and there would be problems in the war. If he endangers the revolutionary army because of his emotions, he can't forgive himself. What you have to face should be faced with courage as soon as possible.
