10 Heroes 4
The autumn sun, even at noon, is lazy on the body, which is really suitable for taking a nap. However, at this moment, Li Xiang is energetic. Last night's fighting all night did not make him tired, but more energetic. It was probably a bumper harvest last night. Up to now, adrenal hormones are still secreted crazily.
As early as when the Consultation Bureau received Lv Zhongqiu's windfall, he gave Lv Zhongqiu another task, which was to restore the Dianxun Bureau immediately. The Dianxun Bureau was not affected by the war last night. Ruicheng did not have time to send a telegram to the court of the Qing Dynasty until he boarded the Chuyu ship. Lv Zhongqiu invited the staff of the former Electric and Communications Bureau back, and Wuchang Telecom resumed.
Li wanted to come to the Dianxun Bureau. Lv Zhongqiu was holding a bowl of Lanzhou ramen and eating snoring. When he saw that Li wanted to come in, he was about to stand up and salute. Li wanted to wave his hand to avoid it. The boy still put down the bowls and chopsticks and waited behind Li Xiang. Li Xiang didn't bother to care about him.
Li Xiang first used the name of Li Yuanhong to generate electricity to promote Juzheng, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren and others to come to Wuchang; and asked Sun Yat-sen to return to China as soon as possible to preside over the plan. He also announced the establishment of three divisions of the Hubei Revolutionary Army, one of which were Wu Zhaolin, Cai Jimin and Li Xiang. At the same time, he sent a telegram to the whole country to inform Wuchang Guangfu, please ring at the same time. Yes.
This is Li Xiang's first and second performance. They either admit it or don't admit it. As a division commander, everyone has to pinch his nose and recognize it.
So far, all the things Li wants to do in Wuchang City have been completed. First, wait for Zeng Gao and Li Xiping to gather two groups of people, and then cross the river to return to Hanyang and Hankou.
In the afternoon, Tang Hualong was elected as the general councilor. Cai Jimin proposed to organize the Strategy Office as an organ for planning and deciding military and political affairs. Cai Jimin, Wu Xinghan, Zhang Tingfu, Deng Yulin, Gao Shangzhi, Xu Daming, Wang Wenjin, Chen Hongqi, Xie Shiqin, Li Zuodong, Huang Yuanji, Wu Zhaolin, Cai Dafu, etc. The intention is obvious that the strategy is an institution used to override the power of Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong.
It's just that Tang Hualong's group of constitutionalists are more good at politics than ghosts. Since the establishment of the military government, the General Staff Department, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Military Supply, etc., which were also established under the instructions of Tang Hualong's General Counselor. Taking advantage of the confused relationship between the Strategy Department and the departments of the military government, the role of the Strategy Department is invisibly squeezed out by other institutions that are constantly established. Tang Hualong and others are shrewd, and Cai Jimin and others are not stupid. The two sides broke their heads for these places.
The personnel appointment election has no organizational rules at all. The consultation bureau is talkative and inconsiderate. It's so lively. In the eyes of outsiders, there is a very democratic atmosphere.
After several quarrels, the candidate of the staff was presumed, with Zhang Jingliang as the chief of staff and Yang Kaijia and Wu Zhaolin as the deputy.
Military Minister Sun Wu (at that time, he was still recovering from injury and did not take office)
Deputy Minister Jiang Yiwu (at that time, he fled and did not return)
Vice Minister Zhang Zhenwu (acting Minister)
Vice Minister Cai Shaozhong (responsible for work)
Government Minister Tang Hualong (not in office)
Deputy Minister Zhang Zhiben
Minister of Foreign Affairs Hu Ying
Vice Minister Wang Zhengting (also in Shanghai, not in office)
The meeting is a quarrel, and the meeting in the consultation bureau is all the time until sunset. When these bigwigs walked out of the consultation bureau, they found that Li Xiang had already...
Before the governor's mansion of Huguang was captured by the revolutionary army, the governor of Huguang left his family and climbed out of the mansion with his own soldiers. After leaving half of his own soldiers at Wenchangmen, he fled to the warship Chuyu, which was moored on the edge of the Yangtze River, and hurriedly ordered to anchor and turn the rudder. In this chaos, he left ten large boxes of antique treasures. This is the most painful place for Ruicheng. Now he can only think about it optimistically. Fortunately, he has foresight and still has a share in HSBC Bank, the British Concession in Hankou.
At dawn at that time, Ruicheng was just a little reluctant to swim in the Yangtze River waters outside Wuchang City. The artillery team of Snake Mountain saw it and turned the muzzle and fired two shots. The shell rubbed the Chuyu ship and landed in the water. The Chuyu ship hurriedly turned the rudder and moored the Siguandian Wharf on the tail of the British warship close to the embankment on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Ruicheng sent Tiezhong ashore to the British Concession Baoshun Road, the British Consulate in Hankou, and sent a letter to Herbert Goffe, the British Consul General in Han. Tie Zhong was always unwilling to deal with foreigners, but he had to obey Ruicheng's orders.
Tiezhong also knows a little bit of the rules of foreigners. He doesn't like to be called a master by others. He should be called a gentleman, and a knight should be called a knight. However, Tiezhong didn't know whether Ge Fu had a title, so he called him Mr. Tie Zhong bowed his waist and shouted, "Mr. Ge, Lord Ruicheng, the governor of Huguang in the Qing Dynasty, sent a letter to you."
Ge Fu's British beard jumped imperceptiblely, "I know something happened in Wuchang City. What's going on?"
Tie Zhong quickly said, "The bandit party rebellion, this incident is by no means different from the previous bandit party rebellion in Changsha and Guangzhou. Lord Rui, please inform the British Embassy in Beijing of the incident and ask for the support of the British government. I hope that the British naval fleet stationed by the Yangtze River in Hankou will participate in the war, shell the Wuchang Bandit Party, and help the Qing Dynasty recapture Wuchang City.
Ge Fu is also deeply serious, and Britain's interests in China are almost all concentrated in the Yangtze River and Pearl River basins. He immediately telegramed John Newell Jordan, the British minister in Beijing, who also had a headache. Although he hated revolution very much, the revolutionary trend was the general trend of the world, and who could reverse it. The most active area of the Chinese revolution is the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is the core interest area of Britain in China. The expansion of the war is bound to cause direct impact and damage to its interests. Therefore, we must try to use peaceful means to stabilize the situation. Juldian then instructed the British navy in China to "give all the assistance it can."
Assistance does not allow British warships to take the initiative to fire unless they are threatened by force from the other side - this is what the British minister's message means "to their ability". They chose to wait and see temporarily. On the one hand, it was for a long-term plan and not to have a relationship with the revolutionary party. On the other hand, let the war not damage Britain's interests in China. In addition, Britain really can't pull out extra troops to the Far East. At that time, the contradictions between the European powers were already very sharp, and the two opposing military blocs of the Allies and the Allies were formed. A world war was on the verge of breaking out. The European war is Britain's top priority, and Britain can't devote more military power to the Far East. To start a war against the Chinese revolution, Britain is really out of reach now. At most, it is to transfer a few warships and put on display on the Yangtze River waterway.
Governor Ruicheng finally understood the attitude of the British government. Tie Zhong, who has done nothing but send a letter, still said, "Mr. Ge said that according to the Pact of Nations and the basic laws of international diplomacy, they are determined to remain neutral. But we can be given proper protection, but we will not go to war against the bandits. This is the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not convenient for them to intervene.
Ruicheng stood on the deck of the Chuyu ship, holding the railing in his hand and blowing the Lingjiang wind. Two white clouds floated in the blue sky. The sun was shining, but his fat face was cloudy. Ge Fu was so shameless that "It is not convenient for us to intervene in the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty." It's all about the exit. Rui Cheng cursed fiercely, "The Qing Kingdom is over. You can still domight in this land."
Ruicheng cursed for a while before saying to Tiezhong: "You go to the British Consulate in Hankou again, ask Ge Fu to send a telegram to the court and send troops south as soon as possible. You must emphasize that this Wuchang rebellion has a greater threat to the previous several times, such as the bandit parties in Changsha and Guangzhou. The new army of Hubei, which gathered a lot of rebellion, is equipped with new equipment and well-trained, and is a strong division comparable to the Beiyang New Army. Now the pillars are destroyed, the buildings are dumped, and the time is delayed. It will be more than just a province and a city in Wuchang, Hubei Province.
"Ping!" Tiezhong rushed to the British Consulate in Hankou in a hurry.
When Wuchang's rebellion spread to the Forbidden City, it also spread to Hengshang Village at the same time. Coincidentally, Yuan Dafangzi is doing birthday. At the beginning of the lanterns, guests come and go. The birthday banquet is the most lively time.
The eldest son of Yuan Dafangzi took a message with a surprised face. He ran into the hall regardless of his appearance and shouted, "Father, the Hubei Party members fanned the new army to make trouble, and Wuchang fell."
Hearing the chaos in Hubei, everyone was shocked. Fatty Yuan immediately asked people to withdraw from the banquet and waved the actor. Then, he put down the tea around and talked about state affairs with the guests.
Yuan Dafang's face was full of red light and repeatedly stressed, "We are talking about this state affairs, and we can't say 'business'."
All the people here, you say what you say, most of them say that Wuchang's rebellion is no more than a few camps, and Ruicheng and Zhang Biao will be able to subdue the rebellion. Some people also say that the descendants of the bandit leader, Cannon and Huang Xing are not in Hubei. The rebellious crowd has no leader, and they will definitely not be able to do anything. Some people also say that Wuchang is a mutiny of soldiers. The three main brains of the rebellion that night, Wu Zhaolin, Cai Jimin and Li Xiang, are all unknown juniors who have never heard of. The rebellion is determined to loot, and as soon as the army is under pressure, it will inevitably die.
Yuan Shikai didn't say anything and listened to everyone. For a long time, he said slowly, "The chaotic party in Wuchang is no better than long hair. Now Li Yuanhong is in the town. He is indeed a famous general known to the whole country, and it is not a problem to take the soldiers and civilians of Wuchang. And Ruicheng and Zhang Biao were driven out of Wuchang City without the hearts of the people. Anneng suppressed the chaos!"
Hearing what Yuan Dapang said, someone immediately flattered: "This is a big event in the world. You can't come forward without Yuan Gongbao!"
Fat Yuan looked up and smiled, and the fat meat trembled all over his body. He quickly waved his hand: "Today, we only talk about the wind and the moon, not about national affairs..."
How can Fatty Yuan not know that an extremely huge historical opportunity has appeared in front of him. This great change that has not been encountered in a thousand years has its own great opportunity that has not been encountered in a thousand years. As he wrote a couplet when he was a teenager: Ozawa Dragon Fangqi, Central Plains Deer is fat.
The world is on the rise, and Yuan Da Fatty is proud to do a vigorous heroic career and write about the Spring and Autumn Period of China under his name. It's just that Yuan Dafangzi never thought that an unknown young man who burst into chaos at this moment would become the biggest stepping stone to block his footsteps again and again in the future...
