21 duckweed

The sunset reflects the ancient city, the houses are burning, the black smoke in the city is everywhere, and the fire is soaring to the sky. There are scenes of looting, jian and slaughter everywhere, and miserable crying sounded.

Suzhou is becoming a miserable slaughterhouse.

Zhang Xun's braided army is slaughtering the city in Suzhou.

After the first siege of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Zhang Xun, the leader of the braided army, originally hoped to deter the people in Suzhou by beheading a large number of people, but 90,000 people still fled. After that, thousands of people in Suzhou, regardless of age, were killed, private houses were burned, and women were **.

The Northern Expeditionary Force led by Yao Yuping and Bai Wenwei lacked ammunition to attack the city, so they could only gather outside the city and could do nothing.

In Suzhou City in the night light, 3,000 frightened Zhang Xunjiang defense battalion braided soldiers are digging trenches.

Unarmed civilians helped the old and the young and fled everywhere. Some people hid behind the bunker under the Northern Expeditionary Army with deep fear and looked around in panic.

About 8,000 revolutionary Northern Expeditionary troops gathered outside the city. Due to the lack of ammunition, they were unable to stop the ongoing massacre in the city.

In the first attack during the day, the Northern Expeditionary Army mainly made a siege posture, rarely opened fire, and the braided army did not have many casualties. The Northern Expeditionary Army was waiting for more arms to be transported from Nanjing, and temporarily postponed the second attack on the braided army. The situation outside the city was temporarily favorable to the braided army.

The main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army camped three miles outside Suzhou. Arms and ammunition are coming from waterways and land one after another, and reinforcements are also gathering in Suzhou from all directions. Although most of them are some new recruits who lack training, they are full of fighting spirit and confidence.

The final battle is destined to be very cruel.

However, how to protect the people in the last cruel siege is one of their biggest problems.

When the gate was opened this morning, the people of Suzhou swarmed out with thin softness and fled to the countryside. At first, the braided army only drove them away, but before long, the crazy braided army turned the drive into a bloody slaughter.

Zhang Xun, Admiral Jiangnan and Minister of Jiang's Defense, played chess with Ni Sichong, the head of the Anhui army, at the headquarters building in Suzhou City after dinner. Zhang Xun was addicted to gambling, and Ni Si was addicted to chess, and the two just got along with each other. Since the governor of Jianghuai, they have always set up a chessboard upstairs and fight for several games every night. A gold ring or agate cup on the chessboard is a bet. Zhang Xun also sat a beautiful aunt beside him.

They didn't play chess tonight because they had exciting entertainment. They watched the braided army stand the people of Suzhou in rows of more than a dozen people and be beheaded together. Hot blood and ice and snow condensed together and turned into red ice.

After Zhang Xun issued the massacre order today, the crazy braided army rushed to the whole city, slaughtering men, women and children. Thousands of Han people rushed to the gate like a tide, and 70,000 people had escaped from the city at noon. At night, another 20,000 people fled from the city, including businessmen from the rich family, the royal and constitutional gentleman, and the poor hard work, all fled in panic.

At the same time, the braided army rampaged through the narrow streets and alleys of the city, crashing into rich families to search for money, and many people fell to the ground.

Xiao Maozi witnessed several women being brutally killed by swords, and their children were trampled under their feet after being choplashed to death. Xiao Maozi looked up at Zhang Xun and shouted coquettishly, "Marshal!"

Zhang Xun laughed, shot evil light from his small eyes, and he felt itchy all over. He hugged the little hair in his arms. If Ni Sichong hadn't been here with this light bulb, he would have taken off his trousers and put his gun on the horse immediately. This bloody picture made him doubly excited.

The order issued by Zhang Xun said that once a person wearing a white strip is found, it is said to be the symbol of the revolutionary army, and it will be killed. A passer-by with a white handkerchief in his pocket was executed. The white shoes worn by Chinese people are a sign of mourning, and their wearers are also doomed. If you find that you are wearing Western-style clothes, you will be executed immediately.

The streets and alleys are full of fire, and the blood and horror of the massacre are indescribable. There are thousands of dead bodies on the street tonight, and the city is desolate and silent.

The houses in the city burned everywhere, and most of the urban area were burned down. Tonight, the blood-stained braids ransacked the wealth of Suzhou City.

Looking from the Northern Expeditionary Army camp outside the city, you can see that the fire in the city illuminates the sky, and everyone is anxiously waiting for tomorrow.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The Army Department of the Nanjing Provisional Government is officially listed in the Supervision and Training Office.

After Li Xiang and Miss Song finalized the transfer contract of the Shanghai Civil Jiangnan Shipyard, Li Xiang specially went to the Inspector General of the War Department to congratulate him, and Miss Song returned to the presidential palace with the first check issued by Xinhua Bank on the first day of opening.

When Li Xiang was about to arrive at the Army Department, a team of people came head-on, the most eye-catching of which were Lin Zongsu and Shen Peizhen. The two women were stubborn and did not participate in Zhang Zhujun's Red Cross medical team.

Although Li Xiang is not afraid of the savage two women's use of force, he can't help feeling a little guilty.

When it comes to beauty, it can be said that each of the two women has its own advantages. Lin Zongsu's long legs, slender waist and plump breasts make her charming and outstanding, but Shen Peizhen has practiced fists and feet, and there is a wildness all over her body, which is also extremely attractive.

When the two women saw Li Xiang, they immediately put on a cold expression and turned a blind eye to him and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Li Xiang thought that the gentleman's men could not learn from their care, and led more than a dozen golden eagle guards to greet them from afar.

Li wanted to stop and said with a charming smile, "The president has allowed women to participate in power, and I also promised to give financial help to the Women's League. What else are you unhappy about?"

Naturally, they are sulking about not being able to go to the Northern Expedition. Although the two women stopped and annoyed Li wanted to ask knowingly, they still pretended to be an angry girl and stared at Li Xiang with disdain.

Li wanted to be funny in his heart and asked, "Where are the two ladies going?"

Shen Peizhen said angrily, "Don't mess with grandma, or I'll beat you!" Sister, let's go and hang out with him here!"

Lin Zongsu didn't have a sister's mark. She just looked at Li and said, "Remember your promise."

Li Xiang laughed and said, "I won't forget it. If he has any difficulties every day, just come to Wuhan to find me. Without waiting for the two women to react, they rode away.

Alas! Li clearly remembers that after the dissolution of the 1911 Women's Revolutionary Army in history, every girl who shed blood for the revolution and fought for women's rights had a very tragic fate. In the face of the destruction of ideals, some people die of depression, some people die by suicide, some people escape into empty doors and don't care about the world, some people lose their bad luck, some people obey fate and marry women, and only a few people can continue to fight for the ideal in their hearts under the mercy of tragic fate.

In this world, the fate of women is involuntarily like duckweed. Their pain is full of tears for thousands of years. He can't bear to look at these poor people who dare to resist their fate, and then repeat the original history to write down their tragic fates.

When Li Xiang arrived at the War Department with a lot of thoughts, he met Miss Song's father, Mr. Song Jiashu, Mr. Charlie.

Song Charlie, who usually has no deep friendship, pulled Li Xiang to a corner and said, "Have you negotiated the contract with Wei Ling?"

Li Xiang nodded and said, "Everything is going well."

Song Charlie said, "Have you returned to the presidential palace?"

Li wanted to nod again and said strangely, "Why don't you let her run away with the money?"

Song Charlie couldn't laugh at Li Xiang's joke at all. Instead, he sighed and said, "After Yixian took office as the interim president, Ailing's work has become busier. Telegrams, requests, letters, reports, like snowflakes, pile up a hill in half a day. Although Yixian has added a lot of secretaries, she is the most trusted by Yixian and thinks she has the greatest responsibility. She always handles the most important and confidential things by herself. She is shrewd and capable, decisive in case of things, and handles everything in an orderly manner. Gradually touching the law, her sharpness gradually appeared. Some letters to the president for instructions, she thought the statement was not clear enough, so she returned them mercilessly. She thought she knew Yixian's opinion, so she gave the answer. She just reported to Yixian at her convenience afterwards, and sometimes she didn't even say hello. Gradually, some people began to be timara with her. Even if there are some high-ranking cadres in the government, many things have to say hello to her first. Otherwise, she will not get to the president if she can't get through this. Some things are about talking to Yixian, and there is nothing she can do if she doesn't report it. The cadres below the middle level are even more afraid of her. It is unclear whether the request is the president's opinion or hers. I heard that even Yixian wants to give her three points.

Of course, Li understands what Father Song means. Parents all over the world are the same mind. However, Li Xiang still pretended to be confused and said, "Miss Song is so capable that you should always be happy!"

The three sisters of the Song family supported the Song Dynasty. What does Father Song have to worry about?

Song Charlie was stunned and said hatefully, "What can I be happy about? Everyone was impressed by the ability and decisiveness in dealing with various affairs. However, for a period of time, the admiration of that day has become today's criticism. In the morning, when I passed by the garden of the presidential palace, I heard two people talking about age behind the tree..."

"What did you say?" Li wants to be curious and the heart of gossip is burning.

"...She thought she was the president's wife. She was arbitrary and looked like no one."

"Don't mention the ruling on business, she even does things in the president's life..."

"Really, the president has a wife and children in his hometown of Guangzhou, and she still has to stick to it."

"The president has been hiding from her. Didn't he see the excuse not to be alone with her these days?"

"Mr. Song is such a good person, why is his daughter so..."

Li Xiang has never thought about the vividness of Song Charlie's learning. It seems that the gossip from the presidential palace has hit him a lot, so he remembers so clearly that Li Xiang was also speechless for a while. But there is nothing special about the relationship between Song Charlie and Li Xiang. Li Xiang can't help but wonder what is the motive for Song Charlie to tell each other so frankly?

Charlie Song sighed: "Now you should understand what I'm worried about. The problem is that I and Yixian are close friends. Do you point to his chest and warn him not to touch his age? What's more, Yixian is already hiding from the age. It's my daughter who is pestering him. What else can I say?

Li Xiang laughed dumbly for it. Charlie Song was right. Did he tell Sun Yat-sen that you divorced your Guangdong wife and married my daughter?

Song Charlie suddenly said, "Li Shuai, I think you and your daughter can talk very well."

Li Xiang suddenly thought and said without thinking, "It's all work."

Charlie Song said anly, "Nonsense, don't treat us as blind. Many people told me that you two have a tacit understanding, and sometimes they sing together in front of Yixian.

Li didn't expect that they all saw it. He said helplessly, "You said so much, don't you want to instigate me to pursue Lingyuan, do you? But you really look a blind eye. We just have a common goal and help each other.

Song Charlie smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you have a good impression on my daughter at all? She is the first female college student in China, which will be of great help to your career. I think even Miss Tang may not have such excellent conditions as my daughter. In addition, our Song family is still very influential in Shanghai's business community, and it is no worse than the Tang family.

I didn't expect that a rich family like the Song family would also stick to him now. Although there are reasons why I can't say it, I really can't imagine it before.

Li Xiang laughed and said, "Since you know about me and Miss Tang, how dare you come to me?"

Song Charlie stretched out his hand and took his arm and said, "Let me tell you, as long as Tang Hualong is alive, you and Miss Tang have no chance to sing. How's it going? Think about my proposal?" Looking at his seemingly thin body, he said, "Li Shuai, I can't see that you are still very strong."

"I have practiced!" Li thought that he really liked Song Charlie as a friend in his heart and said helplessly, "Let me try it!" But I dare not guarantee that it will be successful.

Miss Song is too utilitarian, not the type that Li Xiang likes, but it's not a big deal to be perfunctory for the time being, because he knows history, Miss Song can't have a result with Sun Yat-sen.

Song Charlie was overjoyed immediately.

At this time, Huang Xing and Xu Shaozhen stepped out of the door of the conference room with a solemn look and talked as they walked.

When Huang Xing saw Li Xiang, he reached out and called him over.

When Li wanted to go halfway, Huang Xing had broken up with Xu Shaozhen. He greeted him and pulled him to the back garden of the inspection office and whispered, "Li Shuai should know what happened in Suzhou. Now after discussion, he decided to start the general attack tomorrow morning! I just got a phone call from the presidential palace. The arms have been transported to the train, and the military expenses have also been called. Thank you for that, otherwise you don't know how to fight the next World War I in Suzhou?

He paused and said, "Amendium is the most urgent issue in the financial issue. But I don't know what's going on. The news that the Nanjing Provisional Government was selling guan property to raise a military fund spread all over the city. Immediately, a paid officer came to my newly opened army headquarters to make a scene. Some officers even threatened that the army would collapse if it was short of money. At that time, it had to move freely. No wonder it was a bad place."
