108 Fu Dongliu on
Huang Xing climbed to the Beichengmen Building in Xiaogan, and you can see the hidden flag of the Beiyang Army between the hills in his glasses.
After Wuchang's generals, Huang Xing gathered the army that defended Wuchang at this time, and crossed the river and north of the Yangtze River overnight with the Hunan Army. At this time, Wuchang pulled out the troops of the four associations, most of which were newly recruited troops. Wang Longzhong, who was sent from Hunan, and Gan Xingdian led the people of the two associations to come to support. The total number of the combined forces of Hunan and Hubei provinces is no more than 20,000, and Feng Guozhang's First Army is almost the same number.
Huang Xing on the gate forgot the spirit of the Qing army camp, and the rain fell on his face with the wind. The weather in late autumn was getting colder and colder, and winter was coming, but his heart was as hot as midsummer.
Huang Xing was thinking about how to attack the Beiyang army camp in one fell swoop, but there was a noise behind him. It turned out that Wang Long came to the Hubei and Hunan Army. Although the central part of Wang Long was a long-trained division, he was very arrogant, and the soldiers' discipline was scattered. They drank and gambled in the barracks. The officials could not interfere. Several times happened when the soldiers killed the officers. The impact was extremely bad, and there was still a lot of needs, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction in the Hubei army. However, the war was approaching, and the generals of Wuchang put up with it. Li Yuanhong repeatedly told him behind his back that he still had to give Huang Xing some face on the surface. However, Wang Longzhong looked down on Gan Xingdian. Gan Xingdian Department turned out to be a team of patrol battalions. The guns were old and old, and some were even unarmed soldiers. Wang Longzhong often used to speak lightly. Gan Xingdian was unconvinced, saying that he wanted to see the high and low on the battlefield. The two Xiang army generals made trouble by themselves. Under the covert help of the generals in Wuchang, they became bigger and bigger, and they made trouble in Huangxing.
Sun Wu, Wu Zhaolin and others watched coldly one by one, looking at Huang Xing's headache for mediating the two associations. There are many unstable factors in this coalition, but Huang Xing, who is in the situation, is unaware of it. Instead, Huang Xing thought that they wanted to see the high and lows on the battlefield, which undoubtedly made the two armies more competitive and more effective.
Huang Xing smiled and said, "It's all for the revolution. I'll be the referee for you on this battlefield. Let's wait and see how many days can such a stateless Qing court last? Maybe we will have a battle with the Beiyang army, and the Beiyang army will be anyway.
Huang Xing's last sentence is not a guess without reason. Now that the revolutionary trend is rolling, there are more governors everywhere anyway, and the Beiyang army is likely to be very large anyway. Some time ago, the Beiyang Army went south but was perfunctory. Huang Xing saw it and thought it was likely to sympathize with the revolution, right? Moreover, Yuan Shikai, the big boss behind the Beiyang Army, has some friendship with the revolutionaries in the north, especially Wang Jingwei. Huang Xing never doubted Wang Jingwei's character and revolutionary beliefs, and now he has been released from prison by the Qing court to please the revolutionaries. At that time, the Yunnan Uprising was still funded by Yuan Shikai, and he also took the initiative to contact Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen. Now he has put forward six conditions to the Qing court, and several of them are selling well to the revolutionaries. In Wuchang, I met the people sent by Yuan Shikai to ask for peace, but at that time, the morale of the revolutionary army was strong. Who would agree with his request for peace? It was inevitable to defeat the Qing court. Yuan Shikai is such a person. Whether it is the Qing court or the revolutionary party, there are many people who have illusions about him.
Huang Xing was thinking proudly. He remembered the rapid footsteps at the stairs. Li Shucheng came out of the top of the stairs and brought a person in behind him.
Li Shucheng said impatiently, "Ke Qiang, look, who is coming?"
Li Shucheng walked up to the city tower, and the person behind him flashed out. About 40 people came, with a white face and no need. He wore a black robe, and a pair of goldfish with smiling eyes behind the golden glasses.
"It's Brother Yunkuan, sit down, sit down!" Huang Xing was surprised and happy, and pulled him into the building to set up a seat.
Zhuang Yunkuan, who was the supervisor of the Guangxi Supervision and Training Office in his early years, is an enlightened figure. When Huang Xing and Li Shucheng were active in Guangxi, they were more maintained by him, and the relationship was unusual. Later, he was denounced for sympathizing with the revolution and was expelled by Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangxi at that time, and left Guangxi. But when he joined the alliance and ran around for the revolution, Huang Xing really didn't know, but the situation will only get better and better.
"He came from Shanghai." When Li Shucheng saw that Sun Wu and others were there, he said regretfully. Zhuang Yunkuan came here with a secret mission, and Li Shucheng could not make it clear in front of them. Zhuang Yunkuan looked at Huang Xing with a smile and was not in a hurry to speak.
But Li Shucheng's words also revealed a lot of information, and Sun Wu's eyelids beat imperceptibly.
Huang Xing was honest and said with a smile, "You can't say anything to others. Please feel free to say it."
Sun Wu's eyes turned and suddenly said, "I have something else to say goodbye."
Sun Wu took the lead, and the rest of the generals followed to find excuses and left. Huang Xing wanted to stay, but he was stopped by Li Shucheng with his eyes, so he had to suppress the slight unhappiness in his heart and let them go.
Zhuang Yunkuan saw that they all walked to the city tower and then said, "Chen Qimei and Li Yuhe have recovered Shanghai, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang revolution is unfolding like a fire. Now they are gathering troops to attack Nanjing. I am entrusted by the Jiangzhe Party. I hereby invite Brother Keqiang to lead the Jiangsu and Zhejiang allied forces and conquer Nanjing, the central city in the south, to establish the national revolutionary central regime.
Huang Xing was in a dilemma for a moment. The battle in Hubei was dense, and he had already fought against the Beiyang army. He really couldn't give up halfway, or absconded for fear of the enemy. He hesitated and said, "I am very grateful for the invitation of the emperors of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, the Beiyang army went south, like a broken bamboo, just outside the city of Xiaogan. You can also see that the situation is dangerous and urgent. Huang Xing said, the Qing army camp in front of the gate building, "We are preparing to organize a war with the Beiyang Army. Li Xiang has already given up because of Hankou. How can I leave now? I really can't follow my life."
Zhuang Yunkuan has heard some situations here from Li Shucheng. Li Xiang's things are very complicated, but the dangerous things are not Li Xiang. He is an old-fashioned deep-fried dough stick in officialdom, and he can see the situation better than Huang Xing and others. He advised, "Although Li Yuanhong has turned to the revolution, he is not a real revolutionary after all. Now he has set up a general. Some people say that he has a good temperament and takes care of the overall situation, but I don't think so. He put the revolutionary leader under his hands, what is his intention? You are Han Xin. He wants to be Liu Bang! What I'm more worried about is that Brother Keqiang worked for him in the front, and the rear was restrained. In the end, he was not all over.
In the last sentence, Zhuang Yunkuan didn't want to say it, but finally said it. He is by no means alarmist, but the situation is like this. The dark tide in Hubei was surging. As soon as he entered Hubei, he felt it. Just now, the dark tide in this small city building was also very turbulent.
Huang Xing really arrived home calmly. It's not that he can't see the dark tide, but the word revolution really makes him ignore the danger. He said, "I don't care about personal success or failure. When the Beiyang Army is here, I will stay here for a day. As for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it doesn't necessarily require me to take the position. When I came to the Han Dynasty for the first time, I had the idea of establishing a revolutionary central government to wait for Sun Jun. But the situation is like this. If this place doesn't work, why do you have to change your thoughts and make people laugh in the world?
Zhuang Yunkuan shook his head. Huang Xing is not a political material. Now the Beiyang Army is strong, and it is obvious that Hubei is going to take him to the top. He couldn't help sighing, "The situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, both inside and outside, is better than Wuhan. Since Brother Keqiang has this kind of consideration, I can't force it. However, if there is something wrong with Wuhan, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Party members always support Brother Keqiang.
Huang Xing's gold-lettered signboard is still useful whether it is there. Zhuang Yunkuan also left a later story. He was not optimistic that Huang Xing would make a difference in Hubei. Sooner or later, he would go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
"Let's see what happens in the future!" Huang Xing smiled freely and indifferently. He did not have Zhuang Yunkuan's pessimism. Nowadays, the strength of the revolutionary army and the Beiyang army are equal. Even if they can't defeat the enemy, they can still defend Xiaogan City. He plans to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to rescue after the situation in Hubei stabilizes. He didn't know what to say. When he said it, it meant that it was difficult for Jiangsu and Zhejiang to do anything else, and there was a misunderstanding. He doesn't want to stay in Hubei for a long time. He can still see the thoughts of the people in the Red Mansion in Wuchang, and he is not stupid. It was also for the sake of the overall situation of the revolution that he pretended to turn a blind eye.
After chatting for a few words, Zhuang Yunkuan asked again, "Why don't you see Dunchu?"
Thinking of Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing said with a wry smile, "He also doesn't agree that I am the commander-in-chief here in wartime. Now he is immersed in drafting the Ezhou Treaty of the Republic of China and dealing with foreigners for the military government. Didn't you see him in Hankou? As you know, Hankou is in big trouble because Li wants to be in trouble, and I don't know if it can calm down.
"This big trouble will make our alliance miserable." Li Shucheng has been listening to the conversation between the two. At this moment, he couldn't help glancing at the corners of his mouth and inserting. He stayed in Hankou for a day, thinking about Li, who was not yet masked, but it was like thunder. The storyteller of the teahouse has compiled his deeds into a script, and Yanran is already a national well-known figure. Hankou bombarded foreign warships and became an internationally renowned figure.
Zhuang Yunkuan shook his head and said with great emotion, "I landed in Liujia Temple and went straight to Xiaogan. At the beginning, he was very talented and should have taken on more important work. You should know that Li Xiang's mess in Hankou shocked international public opinion and caused great resistance to Mr. Sun Yat-sen's visit to Europe and the United States. Mr. Sun Yat-sen had nothing he could do. The anger of foreigners is not so easy to calm down. Don't do useless work here at the beginning of escape. Since Brother Keqiang is not going to Shanghai, let's ask him to go back! Chen Qimei has always admired him very much.
Huang Xing nodded, "Well, Li wants this mess that can't be cleaned up, so let it go first."
Speaking of Li Xiang, they only cared about the reaction of foreigners and gritted their teeth at him, but they didn't know how much profit Hankou's tariffs represented.
Zhuang Yunkuan nodded when he saw Huang Xing and said, "Then I'll cross the river tomorrow. If he agrees, let's go to Hunan together and then go back to Shanghai. The comrades at the headquarters of the Shanghai Central League said they were very sad about the death of Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin.
Huang Xing's face suddenly sank, "The murderer must be thoroughly inspected and strictly handled!"
Zhuang Yunkuan sighed and said the word "difficult", which had long become a historical account. What's more, in extraordinary times, when the revolution needs the help of all parties, non-revolutionary party members of all factions are extremely involved, and they can't be strictly involved in finding the real culprit. Zhuang Yunkuan's trip to Hunan is not to uphold justice for Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin, but to An Tan Yan's heart.
Seeing Zhuang Yunkuan's embarrassed face, Huang Xing no longer has the hope of giving Jiao Dafeng and Chen a new recruitment of snow. He said with a little interest, "Okay, please pay tribute to the revolutionaries of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and wish you an early recovery of Nanjing. When he met in Beijing, he drank Huanglong again.
