Chapter 171 Xiangtan Club

The vast Yangtze River converges with Dongting Lake in Yueyang. Dongting Hunan is the four rivers of Naxiang, Zi, Yuan and Li, and the four rivers of Songzi, Taiping, Ouchi and Tingxian in the north. Standing by the boat and looking around, the whole world is floating on the water. The boat entered the eight-hundred-mile cave.

You can see that the water is wide and the sky is wide, and thousands of waves are patting on the shore. A group of sand gulls are rising and falling. Looking around, the two mountains of turtles and snakes are looming in the water. The high Yellow Crane Tower on the bank of the river seems to sway with the ship. In the face of this small Jiangtian, Song Jiaoren washed away many of his mind and couldn't help sighing.

Huang Xing beside him suddenly pointed to the dock on the other side and said.

"Fisherman, you see! That's Yueyang Tower!"

"Hmm." There was an imperceptible smile on Song Jiaoren's face.

While the two were talking and laughing, Lan Tianwei frowned. At this moment, a sailor came over.

"Dist, the ship arrived in Yuezhou City. It's parked here today, and there are still four hours before the ship starts. It's still early. Do you want to go ashore to have a walk?

Although this 100-ton river ship is a ship of the Yangtze River Shipping Company under the Industrial Company, it still has to follow the usual route here. This "Xiangjie" river ship is from Shanghai to Changsha, during which it needs to dock at various ports to ship goods.

"Brother Keqiang, Fisherman, what do you think!"

Lan Tianwei asked the meaning of the two people. After Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing nodded, the three of them stepped out of the springboard, and two servants dressed up followed closely.

"Boss." Jing Zhuang, who followed the blue sky, shouted softly.

"Mr. Zhang is waiting for you in Yueyang Tower!"

Lan Tianwei nodded and turned his head to look at the two people beside him.

Jing Zhuang suddenly said something at this meeting.

"Boss, there is Yueyang Building in front of you. You should always go up and eat something! You haven't had a good meal these days.

There was no sound, just a gentle nod. After the boat entered Dongting Lake, Lan Tianwei's mood began to calm down. But when he looked up at the Yueyang Tower, known as the "World Tower" in front of him, he couldn't help frowning again.

This is his first visit to Yueyang Tower. How magnificent and magnificent Yueyang Tower is in his mind! He said that he visited the organic must-seeing building, watched Fan Zhongyan recite the "Record of Yueyang Tower" through the ages, and enjoyed the vast 800-mile cave outside the building.

Under my heart, I recited the epigram "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world later". The blue sky can't help but be full of pride and ambition. In this life, I will definitely follow the example of Fan Wen Zhenggong and do a great cause that is fierce and famous in history!

But when I walked to the front of Yueyang Building, I saw that the paint of Yueyang Building was peeling off, and the eaves and corners were grassy. It was dim and there were few people, and there was no prosperous scene as before. The blue sky can't help but feel strange.

"Nowadays, who still has Yaxing here!"

Seeing some surprisedness on Lan Tianwei's face, Song Jiaoren sighed softly. He and Huang Xing were from Hunan. They knew that the Yueyang Tower had already been destroyed. Lan Tianwei nodded and went straight to the second floor and sat down with a clean seat near the lake. Jing Zhuang and another person sat opposite.

As soon as he sat down, Xiao Er came over with a smile on his face, wiping the table and asking politely.

"Uncle, what do you want?" Without waiting for an answer, he continued.

"In the small building, there are newly slaughtered tender cattle, live carp that just came out of the lake, golden turtles of Junshan, Wangba of Luoshan, and extremely fragrant 'Lv Xianzui' in the pond. Li Taibai drank this wine in those years and wrote a poem in the small building and praised it: "Ba Ling is infinitely good, and drunkenly kills Dongtingqiu." ..." Xiao Er was talking happily, but there was a man in his forties wearing a long shirt and took the two of them upstairs. As soon as the man went upstairs, the second young man stopped his voice and walked towards the man. He first hit a thousand, and then said respectfully.

"The ancestor is here, and Shunzi is slowing down the ancestor..."

"Okay! Shunzi!"

Seeing the appearance of Xiao Er, Zhang Renkui first laughed, and then waved his hand. He looked at the people downstairs and looked solemn.

"Shunzi, don't make any meat dishes. Get some vegetarian dishes, dried beans in Hengshan, bundled chickens in Changde, magnolia slices in western Hunan, golden needles in Baoqing, tremella in Guzhang, Xianglian in Hengzhou, mushrooms in Jiuyu Mountain and so on!"

The names of these dishes, Lan Tianwei and others feel very comfortable. After living in Yanjing for more than ten years, I often think of the local products of my hometown. Just as he was about to order Xiao Er, the strong man said something.

"Pry four plates of fresh and tender stir-fry, and then make two catties of rice wine."

After saying that, Zhang Renkui clenched his fists at the other tables on the second floor.

"Zhang is working here today, please ask a few likes to avoid it first! Today's meal account is recorded on Zhang!"

There was arrogance in the words. Hearing this, the guests who looked like gentry and scholars hurriedly got up and saluted. They only said, "Master Kui is busy, how can a little money make Master Kui spend money" and so on.

Zhang and Kui Ye! Listening to the names of those people, Lan Tianwei, Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing looked at each other, and they knew that this man was probably Zhang Dalongtou of the Honghan Association. I heard that he was once the gentleman's doorman.

And Xiao Er, who was standing next to him, saw that Lan Tianwei and his party had not yet left. Just as he was about to say, Zhang Renkui took a few steps forward, held his fist in his hand, stretched his arms straight forward, and did not move his arm, and his hand did not shake his hand in a Han style. The three of them quickly got up and returned a hand. The etiquette of the Honghan Association was all Han rites, and the three of them followed the customs.

"Ren Kui has been with three people for a long time!"

Zhang Renkui smiled. He was sent to Hunan six months ago. After waiting for half a year, he finally saw someone sent by his family.

"I've heard about Brother Jinghu for a long time. I'm really lucky to see you today!"

"Three people, please sit down!"

Zhang Renkui invited him. After Lan Tianwei, Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing sat down, he just sat down. At this time, the two people he brought stood at the entrance of the second floor. Just as the three of them sat down, Xiao Er had already served a few plates of Xiao Leng.

"Brother Jinghu, I don't know how to prepare now?"

After Lan Tianwei invited a sip of wine, he asked about the business.

"All things are ready. The five places of Changsha, Yuezhou, Hengyang, Baoqing and Changde have been lost to Huangpu schools in five places a month ago. Three thousand Huangpu students in five places can help. Today, the three gentlemen have arrived in Hunan. Renkui can gather party leaders from all over the country to discuss major events."

Zhang Renkui's tone seems to be relaxed, but he is the only one who knows the pain in the Hunan Liaison Party in the past six months.

The three of them nodded, and Huang Xing picked up his glass and toasted Zhang Renkui.

"Brother Jinghu, this toast to you. If he restores the nation, Brother Jinghu can be the first contributor to the restoration of Hunan!"

What Huang Xing said was from the bottom of his heart. As a Hunan native, he knew the significance of Hunan's preemptive restoration, and no matter the success or failure of the trip, the three of them borrowed the yin of others.

"Ren Kui doesn't dare to make contributions. It's all arranged by the young master!"

When he cleared the credit, Zhang Renkui took a sip of light and tasteless rice wine.

"I don't know how many soldiers the three brought this time!"

"One battalion, 385 people!"

Blue Sky Wei gave a number that is not much. The strength of the Guangfu army is limited, and many provinces are launched at the same time, making it impossible for the Guangfu army to gather troops in one place.

"Eight hundred... Uh-huh! There is no new army in Hunan. Among the green camps in five places, 30% of them are party members, and half of them have joined the Honghan Association. The green camp is not enough to be afraid. Only the two battalions and eight flag soldiers in Changsha and Yuezhou can be stubborn enemies!"

Zhang Renkui said with a deep remark. Listening to him carrying Mancheng and the Eight Banners soldiers, Lan Tianwei, Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing frowned. There are Mancheng in all provinces, provinces, prefectures and counties across the country. Mancheng is the stronghold of Manchu colonists. This Mancheng is a military camp full of captives used to bomb people from all over the country.

On one side of the city is the school camp full of flag soldiers, and on the other side is their families. From the Manchurian to the customs, the Han people are forbidden to enter the city. Even the governors in various places are not allowed to enter the city unless they are in the flag. Even in the flag, they have no right to inquire about the affairs of the city. When things happen, the flag soldiers will fight to the death.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners will not fight with death against the foreigners, but this time it is a battle of restoration. Not to mention the soldiers of the Eight Banners, even the women and children in the city will fight against it with death. After all... The blue sky took a sip of tea, picked up the teacup and looked at the lake outside the window. The sun shines on the lake, and the starting point is golden. In the distance, white sails are swimming. At the extreme, there is a faint shadow. He knows that it is Junshan. Nearby, there are wooden rows moored one after another along the shore of the lake. Most of the wood came from the mountainous area of southern Hunan. After platting up, they drifted along the Xiangjiang River, crossed Dongting Lake, entered the Yangtze River, and then drifted far away from Wuchang, Jiangning, Shanghai and other places. The person who arranges is called a guest. The platoons float on the water all year round and put their homes on the platoon. The row is covered with fir bark into a small shed, and the family lives in it.

The wind suddenly rose on the lake, and the sky was full of dark clouds, as if it was going to rain. The lake was as calm as a mirror just now, and the waves suddenly rolled. The wind is getting bigger and bigger, and the waves are getting higher and higher. The wooden rows on the lake rise and fall with the waves, and several wooden rows not far from the shore are quickly moving closer to the lake. The heavy rain fell, the rain was strong and the wind was strong, and the docile Dongting Lake suddenly turned into a violent dragon.

Sitting upstairs, looking at Dongting Lake, which looks like a wild dragon in the wind and rain, listening to the Yueyang Tower swaying in the wind, thinking about whether this thousand-year-old building will be destroyed by this storm? Perhaps this storm indicates that the land of Xiangtan is about to set off an unprecedented storm.

"Rein the Han people, return my rivers and mountains, promise the country with your body, and retreat with success!"

The purpose of the restoration meeting was whispered, and the blue sky stared slightly at the eight-mile cave like a crazy dragon.

"The restoration of the nation is to bleed and sacrifice! It's not enough to talk about it. It's not only to shed the blood of the warriors, but also the blood of the colonists of Manchus!"

Blood is always to be shed, whether it is the blood of a man of lofty or the blood of captives!

Rain, spring rain, spring rain, the thin rain is like the soft hair on the pillow. Several weeping willows on the bank of the river have bloomed poplar flowers, and the slender raindrops have fallen on the ground. The poplar flowers floated on the surface of the Xiangjiang River and flowed northward. On the Yulongzhou in the Xiangjiang River, there are dozens of tile houses with green bricks and green tile glass windows. This is where Xiangtan School is located. Xiangtan School is located on the island. One is because of the island. The second is to let students stay away from the prosperity of the provincial capital and study at ease.

"The restoration of light, the time of restoration is also the blood stained with this red earth!"

In a classroom in Xiangtan School, Huang Duqiu's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear it clearly.

When the students were sitting and listening to the teacher on the stage said this sentence, it was just a burst of blood boiling and bleeding. They were not afraid, and even the bleeding was their expectation. Every time they stood on the side of the continent and looked around, all they saw was the ancestral land of the sorteen. Looking around, they were all the rivers and mountains that had been stained red by the blood of millions of compatriots.

"When I was at the Huangpu Military Academy, Mr. Yu wrote on the blackboard when he graduated..."

National force!

After turning around and writing these four words on the blackboard, he held the podium and looked at the students in front of him again. Huang Duqiu felt that he seemed to have returned to Huangpu.

"The force of the nation is a barrier to the survival of this nation! Unfortunately, since the death of the Ming Dynasty, there is no national force in the land of China. There are only foreign iron hooves and minions!"

The teacher's words made these students frown gently. What the teacher said is the truth that there is no national force in China.

"Now, you are the national force that appears in this land again 260 years after the disappearance of the Chinese national force!"

Surprised, happy and naturally poured out on the faces of these students.

Standing outside the window, the blue sky and his party looked through the window at the excited students in the classroom. Some of these students were only fifteen or sixteen years old. Their eyes were full of eyes that were eager for dedication and longing for the future, and blue sky's expression became more and more serious.

"Xiangtan School is the first branch of Huangpu School in Hunan. When it was first opened two years ago, there were less than 100 students. Now there are as many as 693 students and 1,336 graduates."

Liu Kui, who followed Lan Tianwei, whispered beside him. He was one of the twelve Xiangtan students in the first phase of Huangpu students, and one of the six people who returned to the province to run the school. This Xiangtan School condensed his painstaking efforts. Although the school has given tens of thousands of yuan, in order to expand the influence of the school, he even became a seller last year. In order to establish Xiangtan Journal.

"The enrollment starts again in early autumn. I believe that it can enroll at least 1,200 students!"

"Rinsheng, if every Huangpu branch is like Xiangtan School, then the major event of restoration can be determined!"

Blue Sky Wei praised that I can make the branch school on such a scale, and I'm afraid there is only one Xiangtan School.

In the spring rain, a group of six people walked along the brick-paved path to the backyard of the school. Liu Kyu pointed to several rows of houses.

"Ji Hao, if you need it, the restoration officers and soldiers can be stationed here. This is the dormitory and classroom built by today's enrollment, and the place is enough."

"Where is the armory!"

Lan Tianwei didn't care where the battalion of the restoration army lived. They would come to Changsha in batches. This Yulongzhou was purchased by Xiangtan School. At that time, even if they lived in the tent, it was not impossible.

"Here, please!"

With a hand-made invitation, the six people turned a few turns and came to the corner of the school.

"This is the dormitory of the faculty and staff, and they all live here in Huangpu. You can just see here from the corner over there, and there will be no problem with safety.

During the introduction, Liu Kuiyi walked to the door of a room and took the key to open the door. This is a large tube room with six rooms connected together. The room is covered with red bricks. The red bricks are covered with wooden shelves, and there are crates on the wooden shelves.

"Over the years, the ordnance transported by the head school is hidden in this warehouse, and the German-made rifles are 5,000..."

Liu Kui introduced that Lan Tianwei opened a crate box, lifted the oil paper in the box, and took out an oily rifle. This rifle was a weapon ordered by the commander-in-chief through the foreign bank. The caliber is the same as that used by the ammunition restoration army. The weapons exported to Huangpu schools and the party in all provinces are all this kind of weapon. Compared with the party. There are many light and heavy machine guns and mortars in the school, such as six 75mm Krup mountain guns in Xiangtan School.

When the group returned to Liu Kuiyi's dormitory from the armory, as soon as he sat down, Liu Kui took out a thick stack of reports. He had reported to the school many times, but he did not get any approval. This time, the commander-in-chief of Hunan Guangfu came, and naturally wanted to report to them.

"... National restoration, solid non-sports military academia is not for attack, but if you want to receive and send quickly, it is appropriate to use the old brother's association. Taking the other generation as an opposition to the Qing Dynasty, there was early unity, and their law enforcement was righteous..."

"The meeting party is not reliable. During this period, the fish and dragons are mixed and the power is lax. If the meeting party is relied on, it will inevitably lead to a lack of organization. In case it is mixed by the scum of the meeting party, then the recovery plan may be a failure."

On the Yueyang Tower that day, although Lan Tianwei talked with Zhang Renkui for a few hours, he changed his request and would never contact the party without waiting for the launch.

"But... If it's only for the students of Xiangtan School, I'm afraid..."

His heart sank, and Liu Yu frowned.

"It's just that I don't contact them for the time being. Since someone has contacted the party in various places, Changsha, Yuezhou, Hengyang, Baoqing and Changde are mainly the school's student army, and the party is the auxiliary. At the same time, once the five places are done, the local party will rise up against the Qing Dynasty, and the major events in Hunan can be determined!"

When Huang Xing's vision was longing for the arrival of the restoration, Lan Tianwei was thinking about the restoration plan heard on Tanhu Island. According to the plan, the uprising in Hunan was nothing more than a bait. Whether the Hunan uprising was success or not, it finally needed to face the counterattack of the Huguang, Liangjiang and Liangguang Qing armies.

"Hunan is the place of the four wars. Once the incident is about to counterattack, the Qing army in all provinces. When the Qing army in the border provinces is mobilized, the provinces can be trusted by Jiangning. At the same time, the disaster can be determined!"

"Has the time of the uprising been set?"

Liu Kui asked in a low voice, but Lan Tianwei, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren just laughed.

"The time is set by the staff. Now the reason why I come to Hunan is to prepare in advance!"

"Ha ha, I'm just a little anxious. In the past few years, I've been waiting for that day!"

"Everyone is waiting for that day. The first sound of the light echo is from here!"

Standing by the window, the blue sky is looking at the field in the distance, which is most suitable for being used as an artillery position. In fact, Huangpu schools in various places have a map based on the school field, which shows the location of some important places in detail.

"What we have to wait for now is a signal!"
