The copper bell hanging under the winged eaves was shaken by the wind with a string of crisp laughter. The sun had tilted, and it just threw into the teahouse from under the eaves, shining on Li Xiping's young face. Li Xiping stared at the deceased in front of him, and under the perseverance on his face, there was also the unique idealistic pursuit of young people in this era.
Behind Li Xiping, several tea guests came in one after another to drink afternoon tea, silling at Xiao Er's pot of tea. The tea guests on the second floor of the Manchun Tea House suddenly increased and became lively, but no one paid attention to it for a while, or recognized Li Xiping's identity.
Manchun Tea House is located at the end of Manchun Street, on the shore of the Lili Han River. It is a good place to drink tea. Manchun Street is a residential area, and Manchun Tea House has naturally become the first choice for residents of Manchun Street to drink tea.
Li Xiping wore an inconspicuous blue cloth gown and sat by the window with one of his guards, closely watching the movement of Han Shui. Li Xiping set up the temporary headquarters in an ordinary private house on Manchun Street, the home of a revolutionary army soldier. The reason why the temporary headquarters was set up in Manchun Street is that Manchun Street is close to the Oriental Concession.
In Li Xiping's detailed plan, 16 foreign warships ran to Hanshui, and it was no longer 16 dragons that could turn over the river and the sea, but 16 dead fish with white bellies on the water. The only thing that is really a threat to him is the 1,500 troops in the Eastern Concession, not black-skinned police, but a real army. The garrison of Dongyang people in the concession suddenly doubled, which is the most threatening part of the Hankou concession. Naturally, Li Xiping should focus on taking care of it. After finishing the plan, Li Xiping couldn't stand the excitement and ran to the Manchun Teahouse to have a look.
The arrogant whistle is performing a chorus. The sound waves shake the spring teahouse, and everyone's ears are filled with the whistle. This is the effect of the whistles of the sixteen warships at the same time. The tea guests in the Manchun Teahouse were all shocked. Such a momentum was something that had never been seen before. In the noise, they got up and came into the window to look at the Hanshui River.
The first thing that came into people's sight was the Japanese ** pills, and the rouge plaster flag hanging on the warship danced wildly in the wind. It was followed by six British warships, five German warships, three American warships and one Russian warship. The huge fleet discharged an arrogant long snake, and the whistle kept ringing, showing off from the door of the Manchun Teahouse.
The tea guests in the teahouse exclaimed after another. Some cowards could no longer sit still and simply raised their buttocks and ran home.
The old man who stretched out his neck shrank his neck back, shook his fingers, showed his yellow teeth and said, "It's amazing. Lord Yang is really angry! Sixteen warships were launched in one breath, which was larger than the commanders of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the year of Gengzi. Beijing, the most powerful city in the world, was captured in one go. Thinking about how majestic the old Buddha was at the beginning, he also wanted to temporarily force the edge of the foreign lord to hunt Xi'an in the west.
Everyone who heard the words was chilled. The old city wall of Hankou was almost completely destroyed after foreigners came in, and now the remaining eight major gates are even more useless. The Beiyang Army hasn't come yet, so it will be ploughed by the foreigners first? If it's just the Beiyang Army, they sincerely support the revolutionary army to fight with the Beiyang Army, at least they have a chance of winning. However, the revolutionary army wants to fight with foreigners. They will not doubt that the revolutionary army is: the old birthday star hangs - looking for death. They objected for no reason and resolutely opposed it.
The old man at the same table with the old man immediately jumped out and echoed, "At the beginning, what kind of powerful Mr. Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang was. He didn't want Mr. Yang to bow his head. In fact, it's not humiliating to bow your head to the foreign lord. If you can be appreciated by the foreign lord, that's a shame. Marshal Li has completely offended Lord Yang now. It doesn't matter if he is looking for death, but he has brought in all the people in Hankou.
In their hearts, foreigners are adults and can't offend. Li thought that he didn't know the depth of heaven and earth, but he made them miserable. Then all the people who scolded Li Xiang jumped out. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten their ancestors, and they didn't seem to understand why Li Xiang refused to bow to the foreigners.
"Of course, Marshal Li will not be stupid enough to die. He is not in Hankou. Even if Hankou becomes a Shura hell, it will not be unlucky for him. A later student tilted his mouth and began to say sarcastic words.
The people around him suddenly remembered that Li wanted to go to Xiaogan to fight against Zhang Xiyuan the day before yesterday, but now he happens to be not in Hankou. After this crooked mouth, everyone suddenly felt that it was too coincidental that Li wanted to stay in Hankou at this time. In the noise of the crowd, it seemed that the resentment against Li Xiang added another point. Li wanted to insult the stupid student to make trouble, but he didn't take responsibility for it.
"I said that I didn't see students marching on the street today. It turned out that I was also afraid of foreign adults. I said that they cried and shouted in the street to defeat Lord Yang. They were all bullshit. They really had the courage to come out and do it. As long as Mr. Yang shows the guy who eats, those students will not lift it immediately. After the old man finished speaking, he laughed and drooled everywhere. I just said a pun, and I felt that my level was infinite and I was complacent.
There was a burst of laughter in the teahouse, and the atmosphere became more lively.
"There are a large number of foreign adults. Originally, I didn't want to have a general knowledge with these students. I could have seen that these students were ignorant, but they were just fooled by a certain general. Now these students also know that they have been deceived and have caused a great disaster. They hide at home and dare not go out. Some people maliciously speculate and are still complacent about their analysis.
Everyone also laughed and laughed so numbly, but Li Xiping's face turned pale when he heard it. The disguised guard beside him tried to shout and scold several times, but was stopped by Li Xiping. At this moment, Li Xiping remembered Li Xiang's seemingly unintentional but intentional muttering, "The violent revolution can overthrow a feudal system, but it cannot overthrow the feudal ideas in people's hearts." Li Xiping finally knew why Li Xiang spared no effort to carry out ideological construction in the army, which was not aimless.
Li Xiping, who was originally radical, calmed down. The task of the revolution was extremely arduous. They were fighting against two thousand years of feudal ideas, which was definitely a protracted battle. Now the self-esteem of the whole nation shows polarization. The new young students dare to use their chests to attack the guns of foreigners. No matter what foreigners come to China do, as long as they are foreigners, they will not like them. And the old-fashioned Chinese people can't stand up when they see foreigners. No matter which foreigners come from Java, as long as they are foreigners, they are masters. . In any case, the former is better than the latter, and this battle must be fought.
The national spirit is not just a comment article in the newspaper. The victory of a national war is better than the ten thousand times of the People's Daily. The significance of today's World War I is far better than the civil war with the Beiyang Army.
Li Xiping took the initiative to provoke the national war this time, and he didn't care that he would be criticized by Li Xiang again. He would never want to lose such a great opportunity. All 16 foreign warships ran into the Han River, not just sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger. Li Xiping felt that he was still stupidly waiting for the foreigners to fight first. The gods in the sky would kill him with thunder when they saw it. At the same time, Li Xiping's angry youth temperament gave him a lot of courage. He dared to do anything when his brain was hot. Three bridges were just a bold plan that came out of his brain.
As for why foreigners behaved so brain-damaged, Li Xiping can't think of any other reason other than to think of pride and arrogance. Although foreigners are proud and arrogant, they are never brain-damaged. In the days of the demonstration in Hankou, the students really put their chests on the muzzle of the concession police, but the foreigners swallowed their anger and did not shoot. Li Xiping has a perfect layout, but he can't find an excuse to fight.
However, as long as the fight is started, Li Xiping can find 10,000 reasons to prevaricate. As long as he can win, Li Xiang has 10,000 reasons to believe it. Now that the foreign warship has got into the pocket of Hanshui, it is difficult for Li Xiping not to win the war, unless something extreme happens in the opium war - his shells are all dumb cannons filled with sand. But such a thing will never happen to him. The military committee has sent someone to check weapons and equipment.
Li Xiping looked at the last Russian warship that had been used. The stern of the ship dragged out long white waves, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He had already figured out the reason, and he bit the cannon fired by the foreigner first. He doesn't need these high-sounding reasons for the invasion of the country's territory. He has to find these trivial reasons to show the domineering spirit of the revolutionary army.
The tea guests in the Manchun Tea House still satirize the Hankou Revolutionary Army, the students in the Hankou parade, and the sarcastic words of Li Xiang. The tea guests echoed bursts of laughter, and the Manchun Tea House was full of joy.
Li Xiping, who was sitting by the window, looked at the foreign warships that were gradually fading away, and then withdrew his eyes. He drank all the tea that was about to cool down in his cup, and took out four coppers from his body and put them on the seat. Li Xiping wink at the guards around him again. At the same time, the two got up and strode downstairs. The pace of the two people coincidentally with the shadow of positive steps, guessing the floor rattling, the point of the two people's landing is naturally put on, and their military temperament is revealed from the steps. The tea guest upstairs was immediately recognized by a person who knew the goods, and there was no smile on his smiling face. It seemed that he smelled thick blood from the two revolutionary soldiers who passed by, which awakened his fear of the revolution. At this moment, he suddenly sounded. The Hankou Revolutionary Army killed all the way to Hankou. I don't know how many people have been killed? General Li Xiang carried out a white terrorist assassination in the concession. Although the assassination was only the remnants of Manqing, he was indeed killed in the concession. He no longer dares to be sure that General Li Xiang will not be in Hankou because he is afraid of foreigners.
Of course, some people also recognized Li Xiping's military identity, but did not have any fear. Instead, they said sarcastic words unscrupulously and deliberately wanted Li Xiping and others to hear it.
Li Xiping's backs showed no sign of wavering, and they slowly sank into the stairs in the laughter of others.
