105 Pioneer 9
The sky is gray, and it seems that the smoke from Li Dian covers the sky.
"The Huanggang Qing army patrol camp mutiny, and Li Xiping arrived just in time to receive the endgame." Zeng Gao said as he walked, walking side by side with Li. There are low thatched earth walls on both sides. This is where De'an Mansion is located, the seat of Guangshui County, a small village that can't be found on the map. This place is very close to Li Dian, the front line of the deadlock with the Beiyang Army War. Li wanted to move the headquarters here very boldly.
"In this way, Li Xiping saves a lot of trouble. It's not easy for Duan Qirui to deal with." Li wanted to suddenly sigh, "Taste Feng Guozhang's power. Naturally, I dare not underestimate Duan Qirui, who is as famous as him. In the First World War of Dawu, Feng Guozhang took the lead, which made it so difficult for us to cope with it. Whether it is strategy or military combat effectiveness, Feng Guozhang has significant advantages. At this stage, we are sure that we can't beat the Beiyang Army at this stage. The equipment can be compensated by financial resources, but the combat effectiveness can only be trained with time. Our combat effectiveness is really not as good as that of the Beiyang Army, and the enemies on the battlefield will not give us this time. But knowing that we were defeated by the Beiyang army, we can't just run away. In order to make the Beiyang army show our revolutionary army's determination to resist to the end, there will be many small-scale and tragic battles like Li Dian in the future. It is necessary to make the Beiyang army taste the pain.
A group of troops walked past them neatly. Zeng Gao and Li Xiang walked while talking, full of worry. The people on the street hardly see it. In this era, what the people are most afraid of is war, which has nothing to do with justice and evil.
Zeng Gao saw that Li Xiang's attention turned to the closed doors and windows on both sides and the extinct pedestrians on the road. He frowned slightly and said with a wry smile, "Hubei is a place that has suffered from the disaster of war. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, for more than ten years, the two sides have been competing for the main battlefield, and the destruction of the people in Hubei is not to be feared. The entry of the revolutionary army made every family close the doors and windows tightly, and the wife at home was busy tying the chastity belt to her daughter-in-law and smearing her face. No matter how we publicize how strict the discipline of the revolutionary army is and how the division of justice is, it can't dispel their worries and always be taken lightly. The old man in the small village has his own insight. He also talked about the Xiang army led by my master in those years. He was the master of the king of Qin, and he didn't mess around like a beast.
Zeng Gao mentioned his grandfather, and the bitter smile on the corners of his mouth was stronger. At that time, Zeng Guofan used this to arouse the beast nature of the Xiang army, and thus burst out the combat effectiveness beyond the Taiping Army. It's just that this kind of combat effectiveness is disgraceful.
Li wanted to pat him on the shoulder and realized his unspeakable idea at this moment, and said, "So the Xiang army can only rely on the rotten Manqing court to become a strong army that changes the fate of China."
Zeng Gao suddenly fell into meditation and was surprised by the end of the final fate of the Xiang Army. The deep reason behind it was actually broken by Li Xiang. He said happily, "Whh is the Xiang Army, the Huai Army, or the current Beiyang Army, these can't become a strong army that changes China's fate. These are all armies that combine national interests and personal self-interest."
Li Xiang suddenly thought, and his walking pace was also a little out of tune. His revolutionary army seemed to have this dangerous trend of transformation. The only difference is that Li Xiang has no power in his head now, and he has been putting national interests above his personal interests. This time he gave up Hankou and went north, which is exactly like this. However, Li thought that he knew his thoughts in his heart. How much pain he endured before cutting off Hankou. He also said that he had no intention to give up Hankou completely so far, and he was ready to fan the evil wind for Hankou with a bad heart. The great dangerous demon of power is more silent than theya & film. Maybe it will devour him that day, and the whole country will become his private property.
Li Xiang didn't dare to think about it anymore and suddenly changed the topic and said, "Huanggang is the seat of Huangzhou Prefecture. It is a city that has been affected by the revolution for a long time. Wu Gongsan, a member of Rizhi, was imprisoned there after being sentenced." Li wants to have done some hard work in Hubei and remembers some personnel.
Zeng Gao nodded and said, "The Huanggang garrison battalions rose up to ask for a high-payment from the government office of the prefecture and burned down the standard government office. The magistrate and local gentlemen had no choice but to control the out-of-control situation, so they welcomed Wu Gongsan out of prison and asked him to deal with it with it. When the Wuchang Military Government received the report, it immediately sent people to recruit and set up the Eastern Hubei Military and Political Branch. The governors of the Qing Dynasty, the county magistrates, the standard, etc. escaped, and the counties of Huangzhou Prefecture were one after another. Qu Kaiqi, the chairman of the Macheng County Assembly, called the four township councilors to announce anyway. Qu was the leader of the self-supporting army. When the legislators gathered on schedule, the county magistrate, at the instigation of the local gentry, ordered the patrol battalion to surround the meeting place to kill Qu Kai. Fortunately, Qu Kai was defeated and fled. In addition to Macheng, most of the counties such as Echeng, Qichun, Qishui, Daye, Huangshigang, Yangxin, Guangji, Wuxue and other counties are smooth anyway. Li Xiping will not have much resistance when he enters Huangzhou. Huangzhou is only his gun barrel hard now.
Li Xiang touched the bandage on his head and had a headache. He said, "Duan Qirui has a headache in Li Xiping. Let's discuss how to deal with Feng Guozhang's big trouble."
Zeng Gao smiled and said, "Nowadays, the situation in the world is changing day by day, and uprisings in various provinces are surging. Other identities have nothing to do with our battlefield, but one identity is sure that Yuan Shikai is in chaos.
Li wanted to look up to see Zeng Gao's smile mysteriously and cheaply. At a glance, he knew that he wanted to test him. It can make Yuan Shikai's feet chaotic. In such an important province, Li Xiang almost thought of it in the blink of an eye. Yanxi Mountain, Shanxi!"
The Shanxi Uprising cut off the supply line of the Beiyang Army, and what will Yuan Shikai take to fight against the Hubei Revolutionary Army?
Zeng sighed, "I really can't hide anything from you. The situation in the world seems to be under control. After the uprising in Shanxi, the Qing court was shocked and quickly sent Wu Luzhen, the sixth town in Baoding, to lead the army into Shanxi to suppress it.
Wu Luzhen's name is so familiar that he has been discussed repeatedly in Xiaogan. Lixiangqi said, "Wu Luzhen is a revolutionary. The Qing court is really confused. First, he sent the head to comfort the lesions in Luanzhou, and now he is sent to suppress the Shanxi Revolution. Why do I always feel something wrong?"
Zeng laughed and said, "There is nothing wrong. Wu Luzhen is indeed a good comrade of the revolutionaries. As soon as he arrived in Shijiazhuang, he sent someone to contact Shanxi. Wu Luzhen and Yan Xishan met at Niangziguan and established the Yanjin Alliance. They were ready to join Wu Luzhen's good friend Zhang Shaozeng, the second town commander, and Lan Tianwei, the second mixed association to attack Beijing together.
Li Xiang shook his head repeatedly, "You said that Wu Luzhen, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren were all sent by Zhang Zhidong to Dongyang students. The revolutionaries are known as the three heroes of Chu Tian. It is impossible for the Qing court not to hear a little news for such a considerable figure. At the beginning, he was refused to go south to suppress the Hubei Revolution, and then he was transferred from the sixth town to comfort the Luanzhou mutiny. Now he drives him to suppress the Shanxi Revolution. It's very weird. The more I think about it, the more wrong it is.
What Li wants to say is wrong. It refers to the history textbook he studied a hundred years later. In the history of 1911, he has no impression of Wu Luzhen. This only shows one thing. His existence has not affected this history.
Zeng Gao didn't understand, "What's wrong?"
Li Xiang looked solemn and said, "Don't underestimate Yuan Shikai. It's not true that he is a toad spirit. I think it's difficult for Wu Luzhen and Yan Xishan to achieve. Let's not have too much hope. We'd better deal with Feng Guozhang carefully. He will definitely have a series of big moves in the near future.
While talking with Zeng Gao, Li Xiang has walked to the door of a big house. The wall of the two people's height was painted pink and white, but at this moment, many slogans were written by the revolution. For example: the revolutionary army is a soldier of the people, serving the people, overthrowing the Manchu Qing government, overthrowing imperialism, and reducing rents on March 5th.
Feng Guozhang and his chief of staff Zhang Lianfen rode to inspect all the fronts of the First Army in the early morning to express their condolences to the soldiers who fought blood last night. They tiredly returned to the headquarters of the new and enlightenment. Ma Ben took off his uniform for them and brought a table of good wine and vegetables.
Feng Guozhang was very tired, and his inspection in Yangzhai made him feel heavy. He chewed the delicious food on his mouth and face tastelessly, and the delicacies of mountains and seas were like chewing wax, with a ruthless and boring face. Yangzhai was beaten down, but the sacrifices made by the Beiyang Army were far more important than Yangzhai. Li Dian is still in the hands of the revolutionary army, and the revolutionaries are extremely tenaciously guarding the territory. In Dawu County, the revolutionaries gave up with little decent resistance, but resisted desperately in these two inconspicuous towns. What is the intention? Feng Guozhang couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Zhang Lianfen asked, "President, today in the Yangzhai position, many officials are asking when to attack Lidian. I didn't hit the Li store last night, and the brothers held their breath. Mr. President, when will we attack Li Dian?
Feng Guozhang sighed in his heart, did not answer him, and continued to chew slowly. With Li's intention, he couldn't make a targeted military layout. Sitting in Dawu County, he was inexplicably uneasy.
Long before Feng Guozhang attacked Dawu, he and the chief of staff were sleepless and formulated two offensive plans together: one route Wang Yujia, the fourth town, attacked Dawu directly from the front; the other route, Li Chun, the sixth town, entered Yangzhai, occupied Lidian, controlled the whole railway line, and the driver attacked Guangshui. According to years of combat experience, he is confident that the artillery of the Qing army is far better than the civilian army, and the superior artillery fire in the position will help greatly. In the first battle of Dawu, it also proves his speculation. In addition, the Beiyang army has a long-trained division and has a great possibility of success in the initial construction of the civil army. In the battle outside the battlefield of Yangzhai and Lidian, it is also seen that the revolution. The army was a little immature in the battle, but the determination of the revolutionary army to resist to the death was completely beyond his expectation. In the white battle of Lidian, those Beiyang veterans talked about it. Li Xiang's revolutionary army in Li Dian has become a thorn in Feng Guozhang's eyes, and he can't wait to pull it out.
Feng Guozhang was silent for a while and said, "Li Xiang of the Hubei Revolutionary Army is the most powerful, Wuchang Li Yuanhong, Huang Xing, etc., can completely ignore it. As long as Li Xiang can be extinguished, the Hubei Revolutionary Army will not be able to achieve the climate. But Lord Yuan has a fate. Don't get entangled with Li Xiang. It's the right thing to take down Yangxia.
Feng Guozhang was also confused for a moment. Yuan Shikai, who camped in Xinyang, said that those Yangxia were to seize the spirit of the revolution, but now, the main force of the revolutionary army has been pulled away from Yangxia by Li Xiang. If you want to seize the spirit of the revolutionary army, you can only defeat Li Xiang. Now why do you only recognize Yangxia? Feng Guozhang was eager to make contributions, and he also wanted to compete with Li Xiang, who had recently gained fame. He once again asked him to beat Li Xiang first, and stated that the spirit of the revolutionary army was actually Li Xiang. At this time, Yuan Shikai simply did not answer his reminder. He was a little confused. He and Yuan Shikai have been friends for many years and know that he has always been fierce with soldiers. When he was the governor of Shandong, he killed boxers like mowing grass. It's also the suppression of traitors and bandits. Why is it so delayed this time? Is there anything wrong with this?
After dinner, he leaned on the tiger leather chair. He said weakly to the chief of staff: "Today, when I arrived in Yangzhai, I saw that the enemy on the other side of the railway did not increase any defense at all. The enemy was also exhausted in the first battle last night, and the reinforcements could not make up for it in time. It's a pity that this opportunity is lost.
"Alas!" Zhang Lianfen sighed. He guessed what the president was thinking at this time, and it was hard to say anything.
