254 One-night plan

Li Xiang was standing alone in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling window. The thin snowflakes were still falling, and the lights of the night fence in the distance of Hankou were bleak after the war.

Li wants to go back to his office, and the specific plan to send troops to Shaanxi has the trouble of Zeng Gao and Li Xiping. Now he is so busy that he can only use his office as a bedroom. He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep. He has left things to the people below as much as possible.

Even if he puts aside the prophet of history, he can feel that the dangerous air is thicker day by day.

"Marshal, what's the matter?" As soon as Feng Xiaoqi entered the door, he hurriedly asked.

Li Xiang stopped in front of the window with his back and looked at the dark night sky. Hearing the words, slowly turn around. At this time, he seemed not to be in a hurry, and his eyes stopped on Feng Xiaoyu for half a minute.

Feng Xiaoqi became a little uneasy.

"Shanghai's party should slow down first. After the British negotiating committee comes, I will meet this negotiating committee first. Do you know when the ghost negotiation committee will arrive in Hankou? Li didn't want to sit down. First of all, he said what he had from the foreign devils club.

Feng Xiaoyu shook his head and said in awe, "Marshal, this news has just spread to the military and government, and the specific details are not clear."

Li wanted to hear that there was no bottom in his heart. He wandered anxiously in the study with his hands behind his back. The dim and dim gas lights reflected his face. After a long time, he slowly stood still. He asked, "The situation with foreigners is not as optimistic as expected. You have to be mentally prepared."

Feng Xiaoyu immediately asked, "The marshal means..."

"I went to inspect the disaster situation, but the Chinese businessmen in Hankou couldn't get sick and sent a group of second ancestors. In the afternoon, I went to the ghost club to the meeting, and these old guys were all there!" Li wanted to think of this, and his anger did not subsided. He walked angrily in front of Feng Xiaoyu. Feng Xiaoqi was frightened for a moment and didn't dare to come out.

"Tell me, tell me, what do they mean?"

"Marshal, it's my dereliction of duty." Feng Xiaoqi didn't dare to raise his head and said, "In order to get rid of Feng Guozhang's extortion, I also encouraged them to cooperate with foreigners. I didn't expect them to hook up so closely."

After a fire, Li Xiang calmed down a little. During the special period when he was not in Hankou, it was also thanks to them who came up with so many ways to deal with Feng Guozhang. He pointed to the sofa: "Sit down and speak slowly."

Feng Xiaoqi sat down carefully: "The marshal said that the negotiation situation was not as optimistic as expected, that is to say, these businessmen are falling to the foreigners. This is indeed a big trouble... In my opinion, the general persuaded them to donate too much and scared them. This is the second time. Merchants value profits. You repeatedly persuade them to donate. Didn't you cut their hearts again and again? In their opinion, you haven't seen a chance to get rich, and you have been bleeding twice for a long time. Therefore, it is not surprising to see them standing on the same line with foreigners..."

Li wanted to reach out and interrupt, and his face was much calmer: "Xiao Jian, don't say anything. I have made it clear in the Foreign Devils Club. If they don't know anything about practice, don't blame me for being cruel - revolution is not a treat! For those who do not care about the country and the nation, they must be severely punished. I, the general, can't convince the public if I don't. Malegobi, don't forget that when we withdrew from Hankou, there was also a part of their contribution. I didn't want to settle accounts after autumn, so as not to bring unnecessary turbulence to Wuhan's economic development. However, the recovery of the Hankou Concession today is several times more important than theirs. It is related to the healthy and normal development of Hankou's economy in the future. If necessary, it will bring short-term turbulence. It is necessary to return to the long-term healthy and normal development of Hankou.

After saying that, Li Xiang squeezed out a smile on his face and turned to Feng Xiaojun and asked, "What's the situation of the Ministry of Political Affairs recently?" I heard that people from all walks of life in Wuhan held various celebrations for the restoration of Hankou and the victory of the Hubei revolution. Tomorrow afternoon, the Political Department will also organize a student propaganda team to give a speech next to the Jianghanguan Bell Tower near the British Concession in Hankou, right?

Feng Xiaoyu's mind turned quickly and immediately understood. He didn't expect the news to come to Li Xiang so soon.

He pondered for a minute and straightened up and said, "Marshal, I want to create a little public opinion to make foreigners face the huge mass anti-imperialist movement. They have to make concessions."

Li Xiang nodded with relief and said seriously, "Several major imperialist countries in Europe are busy preparing for a huge war, temporarily relaxing their aggression against China, and taking back the Hankou Concession. This is a good time. This is also the golden period when China's national capitalism has achieved unprecedented development, which should not be missed. The strength of the national bourgeoisie has a new growth, accompanied by the continuous growth of the working class, and the political awareness will also increase rapidly. Therefore, in this period, we must pay more attention to the development of a new cultural movement that meets political and economic requirements! Many people were sent to organize lecture teams to carry out large-scale patriotic propaganda, with Hankou as the center and young students as the main force, so that the heroic struggle of the majority of students and the masses could arouse the people, fight against the reactionary rule of imperialism and feudalism, and fully demonstrated the role of taking advantage of young intellectuals as the revolutionary vanguard. Such a new cultural movement must be able to hit the feudal ideology and culture that has always enjoyed absolute authority in China, and break the shackles of traditional feudal education on people's minds, so that the 1911 Revolution can also become an unprecedented ideological liberation movement! This has greatly inspired the people's democratic awareness, and set off enthusiasm for progress, seeking scientific truth, and pursuing liberation in the ideological world, especially among young intellectuals. This creates the necessary ideological prerequisites for the spread of new ideas in China!"

"The general can rest assured. The Political Department will spare no effort to do a good job in this new cultural movement!" Feng Xiaoqi knew what Li Xiang was thinking.

Li Xiang's face eased, and he waved his hand gently: "That's right, please! In terms of publicity and agitation, you are doers. We should organize more publicity activities, especially in the military and in schools. In order to implement the policy of revolutionary education and cooperate with the education of the revolutionary situation, various publicity activities are widely carried out inside and outside the school. During the Northern Expedition, students can form a propaganda team to publicize to migrant workers everywhere, distribute leaflets, go out to give speeches, hold parties, paste slogans, teach and sing revolutionary songs, and send people to organize farmers' associations or trade unions. The publicity team should prepare various leaflets, slogans, photos, small pictorials and other promotional materials. Have a party or something, give a speech to the people and a speech to the friendly army. Through the activities of the propaganda team, the students not only publicized the revolutionary ideas, but also received practical training and education. In addition, the Political Department can also set up a "drama club", which can author, direct and perform anti-imperialist and anti-feudal dramas, and set up a club to enliven the students' after-school life and cultivate their spiritual sentiments. All the above-mentioned political education and political training can play a key role in uniting the relationship between the revolutionary army and the people, improving revolutionary enthusiasm, strict discipline, fighting bravely, as well as publicizing and organizing the masses, disintegrate the enemy, and ensuring the victory of the revolutionary war.

After saying lazily, Li Xiang stood up and walked to the window. Feng Xiaoqi sat down and quickly wrote these on his small notebook with a pen, but his eyes turned to Li Xiang's footsteps.

Li Xiang looked at Wuhan, which was shrouded in night, and said calmly, "Mobilizing more workers and citizens to participate is not only a deterrent to foreigners in Hankou, but also because we lack a deep social foundation! Revolution, the hearts of the people are fundamental. This is also the weapon that we can drive away the Beiyang Army! We are becoming more and more stable, stronger and stronger, the economy is sufficient, and the people's hearts are united. The revolutionary government has eliminated the counter-revolutionaries, and the political situation is also stable. The conditions put forward are that the opponents will not ignore it. This is completely a policy and a strategy against imperialism... In addition, the Political Department should also be prepared for the Northern Expedition at any time, mobilizing the masses, especially the peasants. Because farmers are the largest group in China. Politically, the power of landlords and gentry is taken down and "all power belongs to the peasant association" is implemented; economically, rent reduction, interest rates, mortgage reduction, abolition of harsh and miscellaneous taxes, cooperatives, roads, ponds and dams, and production are developed; militarily, the guns of landlords are confiscated and their own armed forces are established; culturally, fierce It vividly impacted the feudal patriarchal system and superstitious ideas, abolished all kinds of stereotypes and bad habits, organized education, and popularized culture.

At this time, Li wanted to hold the back of the chair and stand: "We must distinguish between the enemy and us clearly. All warlords, bureaucrats, compradors, big landlords and part of the reactionary intellectual world attached to them who collude with imperialism are our enemies. Industrial prosperity is the power of our revolution. All semi-leleants and petty bourgeoisie are our closest friends. The wavering middle class, whose right wing may be our enemy, and its left wing may be our friend - but we should always beware of them and don't let them disturb our front.

Under the dim yellow gas lamp, the two chatted until late at night. It was not until the sky was about to dawn. Li Xiang stretched his sleepy body and sighed gently, "The night is over, and the night has passed. Are Chinese businessmen with ulterior motives in Hankou willing to be the lackeys of imperialism and our enemies, or are they willing to cooperate with me to create a new China's glory? Presumably, after a night of thinking, they should have made a decision, right?

Feng Xiaoqi's eyes flashed, and he said slowly after a long time, "Is the commander ready to attack them?"

Li Xiang turned his head and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Feng Xiaoqi's eyes drooped slightly and said in a low voice, "The marshal should not force them too much. He can't subdue their sincerity. I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future."

Li Xiang looked at him for a moment and said softly, "How can it be possible if you want to do something but don't want to offend people? Whoever blocks me from doing this, I will kill people... If they refuse to cooperate, they are our enemies. You know what!"

"Understand!"

Feng Xiaoqi turned around. Outside the window, the sky was shining, but it was still a piece of gray. At this time, the snow was flying, and the snow on the ground was thick and it was difficult to walk.
