19 Wind 2
The sun is charming in the autumn morning, the autumn grass covered with dew trembles in the morning wind, and the dewdrops shine in the slanting morning light. In the late autumn when the grass is paved, there is a very small yellow flower blooming on the stalk path by the pond. Yellow Ono ** always stubbornly chooses to bloom in the late autumn when the flowers wither. Such a tenacious life fills the regret of no flowers blooming in autumn with the most brilliant moment.
The vast water of the Dan pool rises thin water vapor, and the sunlight passes through, dragging out a long red light belt on the surface of the water, wandering gently with the microwave.
Zeng Gao was ready to go, and the brothers of the elder brother's association also shouted at a few leaders to make a team that could still be seen.
Li wanted to wave his hand and motioned Zeng Gao to leave first. Zeng Gao was so excited that the detachment in the command group set out and headed for Hankou.
Li Xiang gathered for nearly 3,000 Red Gang brothers and ran away. These Red Gang brothers held their heads high and waited for Li Xiang's review. Last night, they deeply realized the fierceness of the tiger and wolf division led by Li Xiang, and also thoroughly understood the gap between street fighting and battlefield fighting. Thinking of his gritted his teeth and sudden machine gun to harvest human life, they had to be convinced of Li Xiang's commander.
Li wanted to raise his voice as much as he could, "Brothers of the Red Gang, I was very happy to fight with you last night! The one who hit it is so happy! The courage you showed when you went to the battlefield for the first time is already a qualified soldier.
There was a burst of cheers at the bottom and got the praise from the above, especially for those who have already occupied a certain position in their hearts, who will be proud.
Li Xiang pressed his hands down, and the cheers slowly stopped. Why should we resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Because we are forced to have no way out. Only by overthrowing this rotten Manchu Qing Dynasty can we live in peace and live a peaceful life.
"Exercise the tachment and restore China!" It was another angry shout. The elder brother and the alliance were very familiar with each other, and they shouted out the slogan of the alliance. The most important thing is that Li Xiang said what they said, saying that they walked the dock and ran around the world. In fact, they were unemployed and exiled people. They are not here because they are lazy. Can the people who can carry the work of the dock be said to be lazy? Most of them are bankrupt farmers or small craftsmen who are exiled to Hankou to make a living. In the thinking of modern people, it is hard to imagine that they will go bankrupt. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, they had to be stripped by landlords, by the government, and unfair competition from foreigners. No wonder they didn't go bankrupt! Many of these people were forced to die at home. These people who have no worries behind them joined the brother's association just to fight against the Qing Dynasty. In this way, living a life of fighting and killing, it seems that I have forgotten what home is? Li wanted to live a peaceful life, and then they suddenly woke up. Why don't they want to have a home and a peaceful life to live? For them, it is just such an ordinary reason to overthrow the decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Li wanted to wait for the mood of the brothers of the elder brother's association to be a little more stable before continuing the long speech: "Because of the help of the Red Gang brothers, Han can recover so smoothly. In order to thank the brothers for their righteous deeds, I asked Jin Zhaolong to prepare some small gifts for the brothers, five yuan each. This is the reward you deserve to support the revolution with your actions, and no one can refuse it. Brothers who were injured in the battle, our revolutionary military government is responsible for medical expenses, plus five yuan of ocean nutrition. The sacrificed brothers are buried in one place with my revolutionaries. If there are still family and friends, please tell Jin Zhaolong. I swear in the name of the revolution: I will properly arrange the families of the comrades who died for the revolution. If you are interested in revolution, you can contact Jin Zhaolong and pay ten yuan a month. I look forward to fighting side by side with my brothers again, becoming comrades with you, overthrowing the Manchu Qing government with comrades, and realize our common ideals.
Li Xiang's long speech finally revealed his purpose. He wants to expand his army, and he is preparing for war. He will face the pressure of the two armies of Beiyang, water and land. As a traveler to the prophet of history, he feels a lot of pressure. He also thought about avoiding the main force of Beiyang, leaving Yangxia alone, and looking for another base. It is understandable that you can fight or not, which is tactically understandable.
Li Xiang is not clear about the details of the Yangxia War in history. However, he is clear about how the Yangxia War will affect China's future direction. The southern provinces have become independent in these dozens of days, and Lao Yuan took the opportunity to go out of the mountain. After that, Lao Yuan dominated the Yangxia battlefield. The revolutionary party was scared, and Huang Xing, the military god of the alliance, ran back to Shanghai. Lao Yuan threatened the revolutionary party by force and successfully usurped the fruits of the revolution through international momentum by foreigners.
Such a history is constantly replayed in Li Xiang's mind. The victory or defeat of the Yangxia War will affect the future situation in China. The disputes between princes, the melee of warlords, and the chaos of the land of China in the next 36 years. How many people have been destroyed? How many people have been displaced? How many people are homeless? Even the incompetent unification like the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the people is better than the chaotic division.
Sun Yat-sen said: If you want to enjoy the happiness of civilization, you must go through the pain of civilization. This is called revolution. Li thinks that the Chinese people who just can't bear and don't want to suffer more pain. Since you know China's painful history in the future, can you still ignore it? Because the invisible responsibility for the prophet of this history lies on him.
Even if the history is too far away to control, what about now? In the Yangxia War, more than 40 days of fighting, the revolutionary army killed more than 10,000 people. The blood flows into a river, which can be dyed red on the Yangtze River. Li wanted to escape, but he couldn't ignore it. He must participate in the Yangxia War to reverse this day. Even if the lives of more than 10,000 revolutionary army comrades cannot be saved, they will be exchanged for the same results. Feng Guozhang, you won't succeed so easily, Yuan Shikai, I won't let you get what you want so easily. I want to...
In the morning, Wuchang regained its vitality. The shouts of buying breakfast on the street passed through the noisy crowd and spread all the way. Farmers on the outskirts of the city also came to the city with fresh vegetables for a change. However, there was some trouble when they entered the city. The revolutionary army set up a formation to cut people's braids at the gate. It doesn't matter if the young people cut it, but the old people left their burdens and ran home scolding.
In fact, since Zhang Zhidong opened the Western School in Wuchang, cutting braids has become a trend among young people. Open your eyes and look at the world. This braid that binds the Chinese people looks extremely ugly. Born equal, who is willing to be the domestic slave of the flag man? More than 260 years of humiliation should have come to an end.
The farce of last night's consultation bureau did not seem to have any impact on the people in Wuchang City. After dinner, they still talked about the legendary story of Marshal Li.
"I heard that Marshal Li crossed the river to fight in Yangxia last night. My owner arrived at the Siguandian Wharf with the Shanghai freighter this morning and saw that Hankou had hung the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag." Xiao Er in the teahouse said foam, and then he talked about how Li wanted to fight against Zhang Daring and Zhang Biao. It was very eye-catching, and it sounded a little like Zhao Zilong's storytelling against Changbanpo. However, the audience didn't care. When they heard the highlights, they also applauded.
At this moment, there are joys and sorrows in the consultation bureau. Early in the morning, I received the good news from Li Xiang. Hankou and Han Sunshine recovered, and the three towns in Wuhan all fell into the hands of the revolutionary army. This is what Li didn't expect when he wanted to go to the army. The incompetence of the Manchu Qing government was purely paper, which was broken by Li Xiang. But there is nothing to be jealous of and envious of. It also requires courage to fight, gamble with your life, and a precise grasp of the current situation. His relationship with the elder brother is also one aspect of the internal response in Hankou.
Now the revolutionary form is very good, but Li Yuanhong, the puppet governor, is a big problem. Last night, Zhang Jingliang wanted to save Li Yuanhong. Whether it was out of Li Yuanhong's secret instructions or Zhang Jingliang's wishful thinking, this was not a good situation. Last night, Zhang Jingliang's flag soldiers almost succeeded. Wu Zhaolin and Zhang Zhenwu were ready to run away, and the revolution was almost subverted.
Cai Jimin said, "If it weren't for Comrade Xiong Bingkun last night, we would have been passive."
Xiong Bingkun snorted coldly, "Kill him clean!"
Wu Zhaolin quickly shook his head and said, "No, we have started our work in his name. Now that we have killed him, we will lose the trust of the people. The people of Wuchang City will think that we are a group of rebels."
"This doesn't work. What do you think we should do?" Xiong Bingkun didn't have a good tone for him now. After all, Wu Zhaolin couldn't show his temper when that happened last night.
"We must make Li Yuanhong's revolution an established fact." The speaker was Jiang Yiwu, who ran away to take refuge on the eve of the revolution, and he hid in Hankou. Yesterday, when I heard that Wuchang was successful, I crossed the river at night and entered Wuchang. Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Wuchang, I heard that Hanyang was restored. His original commander-in-chief of the uprising was running around and missed two great opportunities. Now he is really regretful.
Zhang Zhenwu asked without understanding, "What can we do to make Qinggou think that Li Yuanhong has completely become a revolutionary party?"
Wu Zhaolin has understood what Jiang Yiwu means, "Just like what is done in Wuchang City now, cut his braids."
This proposal was unanimously agreed at the meeting. Cai Jimin and Jiang Yiwu went to persuade Li Yuanhong to cut his braids.
After last night's farce, Li Yuanhong was also open-minded and was cared for by the revolutionary army, and he had no objection. Early in the morning, I saw that Jiang Yiwu also came with Cai Jimin. It seemed that something happened.
Jiang Yiwu said happily when he met, "Congratulations to the governor. Hanyang and Hankou have been restored. The three towns of Wuhan have all been in the hands of our party, and the revolutionary situation is very good."
When Li Yuanhong heard this good news, his mind was lively for a while. It turned out to be this matter. It seems that the revolution may not fail.
Cai Jimin laughed and said, "I don't know that the governor has a firm determination to revolution when he has heard the good news."
At this point, Li Yuanhong had to smile and said, "My revolutionary heart is getting stronger and firmer."
"Good! Then we will cut the braids for the governor. Jiang Yiwu could not doubt put down his words.
Li Yuanhong closed his eyes with a little helplessness. After cutting his braids, Li Yuanhong simply asked to shave his head.
Cai Jimin shaved Li Yuanhong's bald head. The hand towel wiped Li Yuanhong's big round head and said with a smile, "The head of the governor is like arhats."
Li Yuanhong looked in the mirror, with a fat and round face and a big round head. He couldn't help laughing: "I look like Maitreya Buddha."
The revolutionary soldiers were all happy that Governor Li Yuanhong's determination to strengthen the revolution and set off a large number of firecrackers in the consultation bureau. Intentionally or unintentionally, spreading the news happened to break Zhang Jingliang's plans.
