Song Jiaoren stroked the teacup gently. The fine porcelain was smooth and warm as jade. The tea was no longer hot at the beginning, and it was a little cool. There was still a lot of discussion in the venue, but now it is a little deserted. It seems that from Sun Wu's mention of Li Xiang's name, from Li Yuanhong to Xiong Bingkun, everyone's expressions seemed a little unnatural. Although their expressions changed extremely slightly, they still couldn't hide Song Jiaoren's sharp eyes. Only the nerves, or Huang Xing, who has always been open and aboveboard, is still politely complimenting them, and Yangyang is complacent and can't see the faint change of the aura.

Sun Wu seemed to have no intention to mention Hankou's big deal to Song Jiaoren, and the purpose was to wait for Song Jiaoren to take the initiative to inquire.

"What's the big deal in Hankou?" Song Jiaoren didn't want to beat around with them and asked directly. Now Hankou is involved in the overall situation of Hubei, and Hubei is also the revolutionary center of the country. The information revealed by Sun Wu has made Song Jiaoren uneasy. Li wanted to act boldly. What he knew was that when he was still unwritten, he arrogantly said the crazy words of stepping on imperialism, and it was also possible to poke a big hole in Hankou. What Song Jiaoren is most afraid of now is that Sun Wu told him that Li wanted to pinch with foreigners in Hankou.

Huang Xing didn't know the seriousness of the matter until he heard Song Jiaoren's solemn tone. He put away his complacent and looked at Sun Wu curiously with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He wanted to know what had happened to Hankou, which made everyone look strange.

Sun Wu lowered his eyebrows and didn't look at them. He drank herbal tea leisurely. Song Jiaoren looked at the others anxiously, and the others also pretended to drink tea, and the atmosphere became colder than before. Some people don't want to open their mouth, while others don't know how to open their mouths. Although what Li Xiang did in Hankou was very ridiculous, after all, he was a great hero of the Wuchang Uprising. He had an excellent reputation among the people, and he was not under the control of the Wuchang Military Government. It was hard to say who was sitting.

It's still Li Yuanhong that he doesn't want Song Jiaoren to be too ugly. He is a good man here and said, "A big good thing happened in Hankou, and the concession has been recovered by Li."

Recontrive the concession? Song Jiaoren's face turned pale in an instant, and Li Xiang really didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Huang Xing's face also changed slightly. He still knew the power of foreigners. At the beginning, Zhang Zhidong was coaxing foreigners when he was in Huguang. Following this, Li Xiang was too bold.

Li Yuanhong got up and squirmed his fat body. He took the People's Daily from the bookshelf in the corner of the wall for the past two days and gave Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren a copy.

Song Jiaoren frowned into Sichuan characters. After taking the newspaper, he saw the eye-catching black headlines, "The revolutionary army recovered the Hankou concession by force, and the great powers announced unconditional surrender." Then below is a photo that occupies half a space, which is the moment when Ge Fu signed the surrender letter.

The People's Daily reported on the fierce war in Hankou, and also exposed the history of the defeat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the foreigners. The comparison between the two makes people's blood boil.

But at this moment, Huang Xing can't feel the little blood when he read the People's Daily in the past, and only feels cold all over. Li wanted to recover Hankou, but he was inspiring and just acting fast for a while. Foreigners not only have 16 warships, but also have more than 160 warships. The improper handling of this matter is a tragedy of the Eight-nation Alliance's invasion of China. Even if foreigners can't do anything about Hankou, they can attack Guangzhou and Shanghai. It is still the Chinese people who are devastated. How should Li want to deal with it? He must be a sinner of the Chinese nation.

Song Jiaoren angrily patted the newspaper on the table, and his neck was thick. Lixiang is too outrageous! The previous rent reduction was just disturbing the tired place, and he still refused to stop. Our alliance will say in the third and fifth trial that revolution is revolution, and don't provoke foreigners to interfere. Speaking of this, Song Jiaoren was so angry that he sneered, "He didn't provoke foreigners to interfere. He just provoked foreigners to go to war. Foreigners said before the war that if there is a little damage to the concession, they will be compensated for 110 million taels of silver. Now 16 foreign warships have been sunk, and the Oriental Consulate has been bombarded into pieces. How many models will be matched in the future? It's another "Xinchou Treaty", which makes the Chinese people breathless?"

Song Jiaoren has been with foreigners for so many years, and he knows the power of foreigners. The more you know about foreigners, the more you are afraid of foreigners. The foreigners were very angry, and the consequences were very serious. If the foreigners attribute the revolutionary army to the nature of the Yihe League, then the 1911 Revolution is doomed to failure. Everything is provoked by Li Xiang. Li Xiang can't bear the responsibility of history even if he dies.

The more Song Jiaoren thought about it, the more angry he became. The anger of foreigners seemed to have been poured on him, making his own anger almost burn out his reason. Song Jiaoren pointed to Li Yuanhong and Sun Wu and roared, "Why don't you keep it? It's up to him. You are all old friends with foreigners. Don't you know how powerful foreigners are? Now there is such a big disaster, who will clean it up? What can I do to calm the anger of foreigners?

Sun Wu turned a deaf ear to Song Jiaoren's finger pointing to the tip of his nose, and his nose smiled softly and said, "Marshal Li is Mr. Sun Yat-sen's foot. We can manage it, and we dare to take care of it."

Sun Wu's words were full of words. Even Sun Yat-sen brought them in, and his fingers thumped on the table. "He, Marshal Li, is unique and set up a military and political branch in Hankou. Do you pay attention to us revolutionary predecessors? Have you discussed any decisions he made with us? He has emptied the Wuchang vassal warehouse and the cash of various official enterprises and institutions, which has made us financial difficulties. This is simply the act of bandits. Let me tell you, he did the Wuchang Uprising in advance without permission, otherwise we would be caught off guard and in a hurry. As a descendant, he has no organizational discipline at all.

Song Jiaoren was stunned by Sun Wu for a moment. Huang Xing didn't expect that Li Xiang dared to reach such a state and didn't know how to intervene.

The people here were resentful of Li Xiangfan. Seeing that Sun Wu had already started, they also jumped out of the well and fell into the stone. Li wanted to be bold and go his own way. From the day of the uprising, he did things without organizational discipline. After the success of the uprising, without discussion at the meeting of the Advisory Council, he issued a letter of appointment in the name of the Advisory Council and Li Gong, appointed himself as the commander of the Third Army of the Hubei Revolutionary Army, and also sent a telegram to the whole country. Then, before all of us were aware of it, we pulled up the troops in Wuchang and ran to Hankou in Wuchang City.

In fact, it was not that they didn't know at that time, but they were not optimistic about Li's reckless plan to attack Hankou. At that time, Wuchang had just recovered, and the interior was still unstable. They all thought that Li Xiang went to Hankou to die. Now to put it in a word, it's all what Li thinks.

Someone continued: "Li wants to make a career in Hankou, and we are not jealous. No matter who does it well, it is to contribute to the revolutionary cause. We never thought of going to Hankou for a piece of the pie, so that the world would not say that we have strengthened his credit. Now that he has made such a big disaster, we won't take the blame. He will carry it himself, and he will go to the foreigners to plead guilty.

Everyone can hear a sour taste in his words. It would be strange if he was not jealous. How ugly the faces of Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing are, how ugly they are. He has always boasted outside because of Li Xiang. He said that all of Mr. Sun's students regard him as a member of the alliance. This is actually a very common thing. There are too many borrows of Sun Yat-sen's signature among Chinese revolutionary groups. Because Li wanted to do this career in Hubei, Song Jiaoren really regarded Li Xiang as their own people. Song Jiaoren was going to criticize Li Xiang to join the Party when he saw him. Who knew that Li Xiang would cause trouble like this. Song Jiaoren can't get through the level of foreigners. Now he just wants to put aside his relationship with Li Xiang, and he is not allowed to cheat in the name of Mr. Sun Yat-sen's students.

Li Yuanhong watched the noisy conference room with cold eyes, and remained silent during this period. It was not until now that he felt that it was enough to stand up to be a general leader and a peacemaker.

Li Yuanhong said, "In any case, Li Xiang has made great contributions to the Hubei Revolution and the Chinese Revolution. Now he makes a little mistake, just because he is still young, young, always hot-blooded and impulsive. In fact, I, a foreigner, can still speak. I'm at the sacrificial oath ceremony, and Ambassador Ge Fu came to congratulate me in person.

Li Yuanhong said that at this time, he was compladed that the revolutionaries had always wanted to be recognized by foreigners, but only he, Li Yuanhong, did it. Li Yuanhong also expressed a clear meaning to Song Jiaoren, whose position as the leader of the revolution in Hubei was recognized by foreigners. As long as the alliance still cares about the views of foreigners, don't want to move his position.

Li Yuanhong continued: "At the time of the Hankou Concession incident, Li Xiang was lucky not to be in Hankou. I can still excuse him. The foreigners will still give me this face. But Li Xiping and other culprits can't escape the blame. If they don't hand them over to the foreigners, they can't vent their hatred in any case.

While Li Yuanhong mentioned that he could keep Li Xiang, he also said that Li Xiang was young and impulsive, which meant that Li Xiang was not suitable for the current high position and had to be pulled him off. Naturally, Song Jiaoren also understood that if Li wanted to make a big disaster, it was impossible to still be his Marshal Li.

Song Jiaoren slapped the table, stood up and solemnly announced, "We will cross the river tomorrow and take over the military and government of Hankou."

The venue was full of warm applause, and Song Jiaoren's resolution was really wise. Li Yuanhong's small eyes were shining with a slight smile, and he was extremely proud. The military meeting has been held until now, and it can also be over. At this moment, the people Yuan Shikai sent to recruit came.

At this moment, Yuan Shikai is in Changde and is preparing to go to Xinyang. He has sent his subordinate Liu Cheng'en to get close to Li Yuanhong as a fellow villager from Hubei. Liu Cheng'en hid in the Hankou British Concession. Because of the recovery of the Hankou Concession, he was so scared that he did not dare to show up. He sent spy Wang Hongsheng to meet Li Yuanhong with a secret letter.

Li Yuanhong glanced at Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing, smiled and said, "No."

"Why don't you see each other? If Yuan Shikai can win the revolutionary camp, the revolution has a better chance of winning. Huang Xing would like to see him very much.

Li Yuanhong's smiling eyes fell on Song Jiaoren, as if asking for his opinion.

Song Jiaoren has been haggard by what Li thought. At this moment, he just nodded indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter if we meet."

Wang Hongsheng personally handed the letter to Li Yuanhong, not to Huang Xing or Song Jiaoren. This also implies that the object of Yuan Shikai's negotiation is only Li Yuanhong. Huang Xing himself is aboveboard and does not care about these details. Song Jiaoren felt haggard by what Li thought and was not in the mood to care about it.

Li Yuanhong couldn't help but be proud and said, "What else do you want to say when you send a letter?"

Wang Hongsheng arched his hand and said, "I'm here to make peace with each other, so as to avoid the Han people from suffering and preserving the overall situation. During the war, the bad houses and lost money were not all from our Han people.

Li Yuanhong sneered and said, "It's a pity that it's too late. Now if you want to make peace, you must put the royal family in another place to live with him, take care of his food and clothing, and don't allow him to take care of our Han people's affairs."

Wang Hongsheng: "Now the court has a decree. All the ministers of the government, Prince Qing, Natong, etc., have been vacant. The imperial minister of Yunchang should be withdrawn. Yuan Gongbao should be appointed as the imperial minister, and the emperor has also been called guilty."

Li Yuanhong shook his head and said, "Gong Bao saw that things were wrong! You shouldn't come out at this time. Previously, Gong Bao was the governor of Zhili. He was fine. Why was he absent? Now there is a mess, and I asked Gong Bao to come out. Why didn't you ask Man Man to bring the first town to fight? It can be seen that the flag people have treacherous intentions. ... At this time, if we don't push the emperor down and make peace casually, the power will belong to him in the future. He will be twice as fierce as before, and we have no way. We should treat the Han people according to the situation when Manchu ascended the throne. Now we Han people should kill his whole family, so that we can take revenge. Now we promise to give him a place to provide him with food and clothing, which is very suitable for him. ... Ruiqi and Sheng Xuanhuai are hateful. In the future, even if it is peaceful, I will kill him.

However, while revering Yuan Shikai's peace, Li Yuanhong didn't say anything to death: "If Liu Cheng'en can cross the river, I can have a good talk with him."
