178 push the waves

Shanghai.

The publicity of the People's Daily is overwhelming, and the sound of the account resounds throughout the city.

In the early morning, Huang Xing, the leader of the Central Alliance, who returned to Shanghai on the eve of the restoration of Nanjing, hurried into the gray governor's building of Chen Qimei, the governor of the Shanghai Army in Shanghai.

It's not time to go to work yet. There is almost no one in the building except for the guards and staff on duty. The hall is empty and cold.

Huang Xing didn't seem to notice all this. More than ten minutes ago, the staff officer on duty of the Shanghai Military Governor's Office called and told him that the Hubei Lixiang Revolutionary Army had received a special emergency call.

What can Li think of calling at this moment? Do you want to clarify what is reported by the People's Daily?

Huang Xing's heart, seven up and eight down. He has personally learned the power of the Beiyang Army and the chaotic combat effectiveness of the People's Army. In his opinion, Li Xiang is mostly amplifying the cannon. He hopes to encourage the morale of the people through the exaggerated propaganda of his official newspaper "People's Daily" and pull the Jiangsu and Zhejiang allied forces that have just been restored in Nanjing to join the Beiyang army!

This guy, since Wuchang, has paved the way with flesh and blood. He has come to this day. He is a complete war maniac. Naturally, he resolutely opposes peace! However, it is not revolutionary that Li wants to mess up like this!

However, the power of the Beiyang Army really made the general of the alliance have a few nightmares at midnight after returning from the Han Dynasty! Wuchang was in danger under the bombardment of Feng Guozhang day and night. At the beginning, the representatives of the Guangfu provincial councils gathered in Wuchang came to Shanghai one after another. In their words, they said that the danger of Wuchang was difficult to maintain and the brutality of the Beiyang Army. Fortunately, the foreigners in Hankou came forward to mediate for peace. Li Yuanhong signed the Armistice Agreement with the Union Army on behalf of the Southern Army, and Wuchang turned the crisis into safety. The representatives of the provincial parliaments stranded in Wuchang also made a draft, "The position of virtual president will wait for Yuan Shikai to return anyway." In this regard, Huang Xing also deeply agreed after hearing this. He also euphemistically expressed his support for Wang Jingwei's stay in the capital to persuade Yuan Shikai anyway. Although Nanjing has recovered and revolutionary morale is booming, the peaceful solution of the Chinese revolution is a happy thing for 40,000 compatriots.

Everything evolved peacefully like this, but Li Xiang made a basket in Hubei and caught him off guard at once! Yuan Shikai was originally the object of the revolution for unity. After all, he is also a Han man! Li wants to do nonsense like this, doesn't he have to force him to be Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi and others?

In the quiet corridor, the more Huang Xing thought about it, the more scared he became, and the faster he walked. He heard the sound of leather shoes kicking on the floor.

In fact, there have been rumors everywhere inside and outside the Shanghai military headquarters during this period. It is said that the revolutionary army in Hubei Province heard the news of the restoration of Nanjing. The revolutionary mood intensified and the situation in Hubei was extremely tense. It is also said that Hubei Lixiang Revolutionary Army led some subordinate officers in Anlu to take action freely, and then provoked an incident such as crossing the river and Hankou alone in Wuchang, where he did not listen to the command, was arrogant and untrained. The rumors spread more and more and more powerfully, and even shocked the representatives of the Shanghai Military Governor's Office and provincial councils in Shanghai. Lixiang also followed with the declaration of "to carry out the revolution to the end". However, the people in the Shanghai military governor's office at that time, including the representatives of provincial parliaments in Shanghai, did not take this arrogant Li madman's declaration seriously. All over Shanghai, it's just when his mouth is full of cannons, Huang Xing lost and rolled back to Shanghai. Li Yuanhong's obedient trick with his tail. You are a madman to provoke the Beiyang Army, aren't you looking for death?

Whether it is the constitutional meeting or the alliance meeting, you guys sincerely think that this new and old Yuan Shikai is the hero of the world. If the revolution is to succeed, it can be fought for and cannot be reversed! Huang Xing and Li Yuanhong were all cleaned up by him, and the famous Wu Luzhen lost his life inexplicably, which shocked the end of the Jinyan allied forces in northern China. Although these are not Lao Yuan's direct hands, everyone knows that it was not all planned by him in the open and secret. The whole situation in China, the vigorous revolution, how many heroes rise and fall, everything is simply like a play in the palm of his hand. A vigorous revolution, today, the biggest beneficiary is Lao Yuan. Such a figure sits in northern China, and the 100,000 Beiyang lions who master the world's top weapons and equipment are staring at them. How can they not be afraid?

After Li Xiang's declaration of carrying out the revolution to the end, under Huang Xing's personal intervention, the Shanghai governor has sent Li Shucheng to inspect Hubei in person. Li Shucheng's report has not yet returned. Li Xiang's royal official newspaper, the People's Daily, has shouted out a shocking surprise to the world: "Yesterday, the Jinghan Railway in Hubei Province. On the line, from Wushengguan to Xiaogan, the three divisions under Li Xiang's command suddenly attacked the garrison of Beiyang Railway Station at night. Li Shang resolutely tore up Zhu Erdian, the British minister in Beijing, and ordered Ge Fu, the British consul in Hankou, to come forward to Wuchang on October 10 to mediate for peace and first discuss the armistice agreement between the north and the south. Until today, at dawn, the situation suddenly changed. At present, the two armies are fighting fiercely in Hubei!"

Today, Hubei Li wants the revolutionary army to call urgently. Is there any emergency that needs to be explained? It's time to listen to how he will explain it!

A group of people with a keen political sense, as well as political novices like Huang Xing, can be further analyzed according to the People's Daily. Li wants to tell everyone about the current situation of the Great Revolution:

After the battle of the three towns in Wuhan, Nanjing was also restored, and the revolutionary war entered the stage of holding each other.

After Yuan Shikai's plan to force the Southern People's Army by force failed (in fact, this is not the idea in Lao Yuan's heart), Yuan Shikai turned to adopt the strategy of "military strike as the supplement, politics, attack as the main" strategy. Therefore, in Hankou, the Beiyang Army changed its generals, and Duan Qirui, the main battle, changed from strategic attack to strategic defense. At the same time, its combat focus also shifted from the frontal battlefield to the negotiation table.

In order to complete the task of cooperating with the frontal combat of the revolutionary army in the southern provinces, the Li Xiang Revolutionary Army continued the revolution after the fall of Hubei, turned into a guerrilla war behind the enemy, created a revolutionary base behind the enemy, and developed the armed forces, which undoubtedly hit the Beiyang Army in Hubei.

As General Li pointed out particularly modestly, "The Hubei Revolutionary Army does not play any decisive role in the current revolutionary issue, but has its own good play, which will definitely play a decisive role in this special play. This is a truly independent mountain guerrilla war!"

One of the main forms of combat behind enemy lines is traffic warfare.

The Beijing-Han Railway Traffic Line is the lifeblood of the Beiyang Army in Hubei. The struggle around traffic behind the enemy's back in Hubei constitutes the main theme of the Hubei revolution.

In fact, as early as the fall of Hubei, after Li Xiang's revolutionary army turned into the revolutionary battle behind the enemy, he began to break the Jinghan railway traffic line of the Beiyang Army.

They launched three consecutive attacks on the Beijing-Han Railway Line, an important traffic lifeline in Hubei, and initially launched a small-scale attack. Li Xiangxiang's 60% of all struggles in Hubei is traffic warfare.

The actions of the Li Xiang Revolutionary Army posed a great threat to the Jinghan Railway traffic line, which was regarded as the lifeline by the Beiyang Army, but the Beiyang Army did not give up. When the Beiyang army went south, after a period of struggle between "suppression of bandits" and anti-suppression of bandits, the intensity was not very fierce. After Feng Guozhang entered Hankou, the Beiyang Army expanded to the east-west wings relying on the Jinghan Railway, and successively captured Lijiazhuang, Nanguo, Qiujiacun, Xiaoluzhuang, Tiantai, Weifeng, Xiaomingzhuang and other Lixiang revolutionary base villages and many important towns, dividing the Anlu base into many small pieces. At the same time, Feng Guozhang's Beiyang Army also actively increased the number of strongholds and highways on the west side of the Beijing-Han Railway Line, strictly sealed the traffic between Dabie Mountain and Anlu, and wanted to narrow the scope of activities of the Li Xiang Revolutionary Army. From Wushengguan to Xiaogan, he forcibly recruited civilian husbands, and constantly repaired and repaired the Beijing-Han railway stations and strongholds, in an attempt to separate the activities of the Li Xiang Revolutionary Army in the eastern and western districts of Anlu Prefecture, De'an Prefecture, Hanyang Prefecture and Huangzhou Prefecture, and encircle and suppress them one by one.

Li Xiang explained in the People's Daily. He compared this move of the Beiyang Army to the enemy using the railway as a pillar, an official road as a chain, and a stronghold as a lock to create a cage and put our soldiers and civilians inside to kill Ling Chi. It is said that the large-scale road-building operation launched by the Beiyang Army in Hubei is not only of military significance, but also of political, economic and cultural significance. The Beiyang Army organized and carried out the traffic war in Hubei from a strategic perspective. Without breaking the "prisoner pet", the revolutionary army will not be able to survive.

But in Huang Xing's opinion, Li Xiang overestimated himself too much, and the cannon was loud. When Feng Guozhang was deliberately dealing with Wuchang, how could he have time to fight guerrillas with him in the countryside? Li wants to be so pompous, it's nothing more than sticking gold on his face!

As the saying goes: the Tao is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high.

The name of Zhongshan cannon can now abdic from the throne.

Li wants to publicize so much that the Hubei revolution revolves around the "road". Isn't the battle between the two sides of the struggle a warm-up for the upcoming new competition with Beiyang?

Sure enough, this morning's newspaper is a surprise to Shanghai and shock China and foreign countries! Huang Xing in Shanghai was frightened and restless. He didn't know whether it also made Yuan Shikai nervous and restless.

Li wants to boast in the newspaper:

In order to break the blockade of the occupied area by the Beiyang Army, stop the countercurrent of surrender and peace within the Democratic Party, and stimulate the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people, the revolutionary army launched a traffic war aimed at breaking the Beijing-Han railway traffic line. The battle has lasted for two days and two nights. A total of 18 large and small battles have been carried out, more than 2,000 people have been killed and injured by the Beiyang army, and more than 70 kilometers of the railway have been destroyed. It can ensure that the Hubei section of the Beijing-Han Railway will be interrupted for more than a month. It will be the most intense and largest battle "behind the enemy" battle in the Revolutionary War.

The battle will continue to expand. The battle will be divided into two stages. The first stage aims to break the railway; the second stage aims to remove the strongholds on both sides of the railway.

After the completion of the second phase of the task, Li Shuai will continue to lead the revolutionary army to fight. Even if he has a long-term revolutionary struggle with the Beiyang enemy, he is bound to carry out the revolution to the end!

Li Xiang also put a layer of gold on his face. He proudly said in the newspaper that this is a glorious chapter in the history of the Chinese revolution. It shows that the armed forces led by the World Club have not only developed and strengthened themselves in the arduous struggle of the revolutionary war, but also for the victory of China's national revolution and the people and nations of the world. The victory of the freedom and democratic struggle of the doctrine has made great contributions and role models.

Is it just that Li Xiang's battle is really the glory of the newspaper? Huang Xing expressed serious doubts!

Huang Xing's burly body took three steps and two steps, and hurriedly stepped into Chen Qimei's office.

"Kie Qiang," Chen Qimei's handsome and beautiful face is a little pale, and she doesn't know whether she is inhaling too much platinum or the Shanghai governor is busy and overworked. Seeing Huang Xing break in, he immediately got up and shouted, "Come and have a look. This madman Li. As soon as the revolution improved, he bombarded the combined fleet of the five foreign countries. We just calmed the anger of the foreigners. The foreigners finally agreed to mediate the peace between the north and the south. As soon as peace was in sight, he immediately openly tore up the North-South Armistice Agreement. Opening the war between the north and the south, he went crazy and poked the sky into a big hole. We have to make up for him again! Well, how can you make up for it this time? I really don't know that being kicked out of Hankou, Wo'anlu is still such a restless life in the countryside. Being forced to this point, you can still make such a big trend..."

At this time, when Chen Qimei was chattering, the handsome staff officer Jiang Guangtou, who was still the first horse under Chen Qimei, handed the old man of the Alliance to Huang Xing, and Tan Renfeng, who was still stranded in Wuchang, Hubei Province, sent an urgent telegram. The emergency message was taken by Wuchang, but when the staff called, he told him that it was Li Xiang Revolutionary Army. It seems that the Wuchang military government is already surnamed Li. What will happen to the situation in Hubei? Did Li Xiangzhen achieve a brilliant victory as he boasted in the newspaper?

Huang Xing opened it in a hurry, and his heart sank. The message said: "The revolutionary army near Anlufu, the revolutionary army near De'anfu, and the revolutionary army near Hanyangfu raided the Jinghan railway line at night and was counterattacked by the Beiyang army. They immediately launched a fierce battle, repelling the enemy from the vicinity with strength, and destroyed several railway bridges."

All the implementation reports in the People's Daily! But the result of the war is only to destroy a few bridges and blow up a few sections of railways. Its effect can only deceive the ignorant people even if Li wants to blow it up! Huang Xing was very angry that Li wanted to deceive the people's feelings with such a clumsy method, to tear up the Armistice Agreement between the North and the South with such a fierce means, and undermine the revolutionary peace process!

"What's the solution! What's the solution to him?!" Huang Xing was so anxious that Changsha words came out, "Li Junshucheng just went to Hubei and didn't need to return. The situation in Hubei finally calmed down. Why did such a big deal happen in a few days? He, Li, is really a man of ability and courage! Why didn't you drive the Beiyang Army out of Hubei? Why did you just blow up a few bridges and destroy several miles of railways? Fortunately, I was thinking about how to help him, a very hot-blooded young man, and I saw that he was too hot-blooded! This is a troublemaker. No wonder Dunchu resolutely opposed his membership at the beginning.

Huang Xing roared and turned to the staff around him.

"Do the representatives of provincial councils know the content of the telegram?"

"This is the only one copy of the telegram. I took a look at it first, and I haven't notified anyone else yet." Jiang's bald head answered respectfully.

"How dare I show this thing casually?" Chen Qimei said helplessly, "It's not that I don't know the weight of this telegram."

Huang Xing put the telegram into the file folder and hesitated to tell the staff, "Quickly hand it over to the parliament."

This is already a piece of paper that can't be wrapped in the fire, and the People's Daily has announced it all over the world.

Soon, the accurate news of the incident in Hubei spread from all over the Shanghai Metropolitan Government. Huang Xing heard the phone ring and withdrew his thoughts.

Chen Qimei grabbed the phone and smiled at him, "Ke Qiang, guess who will make the first call?"

When Huang Xing saw that Chen Qimei was still in the mood to joke at this time, he said angrily, "It's either Tang Shouqian or Cheng Dequan. Who else will be besides them?

"Hey, Chen Du? I heard that something troublesome happened in Hubei again? ..." There was a worried voice from Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu Province, on the phone. Chen Qimei made a helpless expression to Huang Xing.

"Chen Du, what's the trouble? Tell me!"

"Last night, the Hubei People's Army called and said that Li Xiangjun had a conflict with the Beiyang Army on the Beijing-Han Railway Line, and it was said that there was a fire. I really don't know how this happened." Chen Qimei said helplessly.

Cheng Dequan listened, and his heart was almost shocked. He panicked and his mind was almost exactly the same as Huang Xing.

After the uprising in Wuchang, Cheng Dequan tried his best to suppress the anti-Qing revolution in Jiangsu and colluded with the constitutionalists to ask the Qing court to reorganize the cabinet and announce the establishment of the constitution. Later, seeing that the general trend had gone, he agreed to Jiangsu's independence, so he changed. The governor of Jiangsu became the governor of Jiangsu.

He advocates a peaceful solution to the so-called revolutionary issue and should concentrate on persuading Yuan Shikai anyway.

Now that Li wants to adopt such a tough attitude towards Yuan Shikai, it is bound to attract Yuan Shikai's strong rebound. He is really afraid that Yuan Shikai will wave his troops south and give the provisional government that has not yet been set up in Nanjing. Therefore, Cheng Dequan was worried about the conflict in Hubei and almost jumped up.

Throughout the day, the whole Shanghai Military Governor's Office was in a kind of chaotic discussion, and even the temporary Central Council was in a kind of confusion about the future policy. The governor's office and the interim central parliament are busy thinking about how the conflict was triggered. Is Yuan Shikai from Beijing trying to carry out a full-scale war? Or is it still resolved peacefully as before? After all, there have been too many changes in the Qing court in North China for a period of time. What will not happen?

Just when the situation in Shanghai and Ning was not clear and uncertain, Li Xiang stood up and opened his mouth again.

The Anlu Revolutionary Army issued a statement to the Qing Military Committee on the conflict in Hubei again. It is normal for a regional force to make a statement on the affairs of its own district. This is his responsibility, but the view of this statement is so clear and arrogant that it has to make the Shanghai Military Governor's Office angry.

"Due to the violent reactionary revolution of the Beiyang Army, the people of Hubei have been slaughtered. The Hubei Revolutionary Army is carrying out the revolution to the end with great concern and great determination."

While issuing the above statement, Marshal Li Xiang did not send any subordinates to Shanghai and Ning to ask for a meeting with the interim central authorities or to state their opinions. He was completely arbitrary and directly crossed the provisional central government to start a comprehensive war! Arrogant and domineering to the extreme.

Lin Shuqing, the commander-in-chief of the Linhuai Northern Expedition stationed in Nanjing, suddenly became active again. In a report submitted to the Provisional Central Council, he said: "In view of the situation in Hubei, the main force of the town army is now ready to go out at any time."

The revolutionary military government in Guangdong is even more crazy about supporting Hubei to carry out the revolution by force. After learning the news of the Hubei Incident, he reported to the interim central government: "Due to the outbreak of the Hubei incident, one of the revolutionary forces has taken the posture of going out at any time."

Before the provisional government made a formal decision, the revolutionary army forces in the restored provinces scrambled to express their opinions. And these views actually require the Provisional Central Government and the People's Army to start a war against the North Sea!

"What kind of style is it to blackmail the central government with the local government? Where is the central prestige?" Tang Shou slapped the table and hit the bench in Chen Qimei's office and roared loudly.

Jiang Bingzhang, deputy speaker of the Jiangsu Provincial Assembly, who came with Cheng Dequan, held the volume of People's Daily: "My niece Tang Zhen is almost crazy to hold this roll of newspaper. Li madman bewitched the hearts of the people, and the impact was extremely bad. This relevant news is absolutely forbidden to be published in the future. I hope you can comply with it.

"Seal up his Xinhua News Agency!" Immediately, several legislators jumped out and shouted seconded, and they didn't know whether they tasted or were jealous of Shenma Emperor. Li Shang is so popular that everyone wants to step on him.

"Xinhua News Agency opened in the concession. I heard that there are still shares of foreigners, which is not something we can seal." Cheng Dequan is far away. He doesn't want to block the Xinhua News Agency, which is stirring up the rain. It's just that it's complicated to involve foreigners. Although we now identify Nanjing as the seat of the provisional central government, we must first determine the authority of the central government. We must elect the interim marshal, exercise the functions and powers of the president, and organize the interim government. Only by determining the authority of the central government can we suppress some reckless and arrogant and domineering civilian generals!"

(The scene: How much filial piety, the brother has worked hard for his best! Let's take care of the tickets...)
