113 overturn down

The sad wind and rain of the autumn night fell to this time and converged under the eaves. Huang Xing's night banquet in Xiaogan Government Office continued, with a jubilant and lively atmosphere, persuading him to drink and laughing endlessly. The cold outside the door was dispersed by the hustle and bustle of the hall at this moment. No one could see the golden horse outside the city at this moment, and the two armies were facing each other.

After persuading people to drink and laughing, this group of soldiers, politicians, gentry, and rich people who control the death of all people's lives, talked about the issue of concern about their own interests. What they pursue is nothing but power and profit, but it must also be convenient for the people.

He only listened to Sun Wukan talk among the people and said, "When Li Xiang was in Hankou, he was preparing to build a Western-style bank, privately minting coins and issuing banknotes to replace the silver and copper coins circulating in the Qing court, as well as all kinds of banknotes, bills and oceans previously issued by Hubei. Li thought about this to stabilize Hankou finance, but the issuance of new coins is not so simple, especially paper money is in urgent need of strong credit support. Li wanted to force Chinese businessmen in Hankou to buy shares and provide credit for the banknotes he issued. Looking at it, it is simply a wolf's ambition, coveling the Hankou tariff, regardless of the friendly peace treaty, and dare to provoke a national war. Nowadays, the establishment of a bank is not necessarily to stabilize Hankou Finance, but more to satisfy one's own desires. As long as the bank is built, it can issue a lot of money to support his army and arm his minions.

Some people who understand the economy at the same table said, "If Li wants to issue bad money, it will cause currency depreciation, and the prices of daily necessities such as rice and cloth will rise sharply, accelerating the financial collapse of Hankou. Fortunately, Li Xiang was kicked out of Hankou, otherwise we would have to wait to go bankrupt in the future.

Although Jiang Yiwu does not understand the economy, Sun Wu's words are obviously slandering Li Xiang. Although he has no friendship with Li Xiang, he just can't stand Sun Wu's villain's ambition. He intercepted and said, "Although Hankou has experienced a war, it is still prosperous in the market. This has to be said to be the work of Li Xiang's governance. On the contrary, Li Xiang's withdrawal from Hankou made the Hankou market much depressed. Li wants to build a bank, which is a big thing that is beneficial to Hankou finance, which will break the monopoly of foreign banks. And Li Xiang seems to have rotten paper money. This is just your decision here.

Sun Wu frowned when he heard this, but what Jiang Yiwu said was an iron fact, and he couldn't find a rebuttal for a while. He is not weak at all in terms of military affairs, but he only knows little about civil affairs and economy. Li Xiang's economic means in Hankou only look at those eager businessmen to know that it is a rich road. He has just entered Hankou, and I don't know how many people have heard him mention the development of the five-year economic plan of Hankou. This is a plan formulated by Li Xiang's government. Many big merchants, and even foreign businessmen, have also heard the news and want to participate in it. It seems that Li Xiang's stereo in Hubei is getting bigger and bigger. If he doesn't take this opportunity to completely move him, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future.

It turned out that Zhuang Yun Kuanqi said, "I have heard a lot of stories about Li Xiang fighting on the battlefield in Wuhan. I didn't expect that he was still so talented in literature and martial arts and had such a worldly means. Such talents, even if the revolution succeeds, will still be of great use. This time, he acted recklessly, but even if such a talent does not lead the army, it is better to keep it.

Huang Xing, on the left hand side of Zhuang Yunkuan, listened attentively. Many of them radical revolutionaries are sure to have never thought about this. Even if Sun Yat-sen only knows how to build a railway, he knows how to build a railway. Few of the revolutionaries really understand economic and financial management, or they will not only know how to raise money and raise money everywhere. There is a shortage of money all year round. Only local gentry, big businessmen, and people who have been in charge of politicians and people for a long time like the Hubei Advisory Bureau will think about this problem. Song Jiaoren, who studies law, is better, but he has limited knowledge, and he is far worse in social practice.

Huang Xing suddenly made up his mind that Li thought that no matter whether the essence was good or bad, he was a capable person. Li wanted to be young and talented, so he naturally acted a little crazy. Recently, he listened to too many gossips that slandered him, so that he had a strange idea about him. I will definitely win Song Jiaoren over him through Du Xinwu's relationship.

Huang Xing also noticed that Da Yuan, a Japanese consultant who came to Wuhan, also listened very carefully. His mind flashed, and he suddenly realized the intentions of the Japanese. Huang Xing is honest and loyal, but he is not a fool. After a day or two with the Japanese, how can he not understand the Japanese thoughts? Japan's consistent policy towards China is to incite civil strife and undermine the unity of China.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Japan actually helped and helped the Chinese revolution. It is not sympathizing with the Chinese revolution. Its real purpose is to want China to split for a long time and kill each other. He can accept the benefits of fishermen. During the Xinhai Revolution, Japan assisted Sun Huang and helped the Manchu Qing Dynasty resist the Democratic Party. At both ends, they each got the price of manipulation and interference. Once the Xinhai Revolution broke out, Japan believed that the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits had arrived, and the inside story of the Democratic Party movement was also best known to Japan. At the beginning of the Baolu Movement, the Japanese Ministry of the Army sent Kijiro Saito, a veteran who invaded China, to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to investigate. When he arrived in Hankou, at the time of the Zhengwuchang Uprising, there were too many troops to the Japanese government. There were 2,500 strategic troops stationed in the Eastern Concession, and ordered Ryojiro Kawashima, the commander of the Third Fleet in China, to lead the battleships. ** Maru came to Hubei regardless of the depletion of the river in autumn. In addition, the Japanese government sent two secret groups to Shanghai to assist the Democratic Party, but when the revolutionary movement gradually expanded, especially when Li Xianghankou smashed the Japanese conspiracy, Tokyo was obviously full of unpleasant air.

For the Japanese, Huang Xing has never trusted him as much as Sun Yat-sen. He always maintains this vigilance, so he has been paying attention to Dayuan's every move.

Zhuang Yunkuan continued the unfinished banking topic and said, "Since the ten years of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, China's self-casting mechanism silver coins have been cast by the Jilin Machine Organ Bureau after nearly half a century of repeated debates. In the 12th year of Guangxu, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Guangzhou, created "Guangdong Qian Hou" in Guangzhou. A full set of coinage machinery was purchased by the Hidun Mint in Birmingham, UK, and foreign technicians were hired. In the 15th year of Guangxu, the bureau was put into production. At the beginning, the "Gangxu Yuanbao Seven-cent Three-cent Silver Coin Series" with a total of five-class coin value, such as the "Gangxu Yuanbao Seven-cent Two-cent Silver Coin Series", which has become the abuse of the silver circle of China's modern official casting mechanism. However, because the coin inscription "Gwangxu Yuanbao" was surrounded by English, it was rejected by the Qing court and was not officially issued. In April of the 16th year of Guangxu, the new version of Guangxu Yuanbao seven-cent and two-cent silver coin series is cast. The word "Gangxu Yuanbao" is engraved on the front, and "Made in Guangdong Province" and value text. The center of the back is full of the dragon pattern, and the ring is in English coins. Later, as ordered by the Qing court as a legal currency, it finally became a typical standard for China's self-casting silver dollar by the Qing court. "It is used on the market, and it is convenient for businessmen." Since then, the provinces have become particularly effective, competing to set up factories and drums. The big profits are located. It has been quickly launched throughout the country without being promoted by the Qing court. In the 20th year of Guangxu, more than ten provinces and regions, including Tianjin, Guangdong, Hubei, Beiyang, Jiangnan, Xinjiang, Anhui, Hunan, Fengtian, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Fujian, Yunnan and Taiwan, have set up factories and minted coins. Due to the fragmentation of each province and the chaotic money law, the color and weight of silver coins are different, and in the name of the province, they resist each other and the circulation is not smooth. In the face of the national competition for silver dollars, the Qing court tried to return the minting power to the central government and monopolized the huge profits. In the 25th year of Guangxu, except for Guangdong and Hubei, all the other mints were ordered to be abolished, which was strongly opposed by local forces. In the same year, the "Beijing Bureau" was organized in Beijing, and it was planned to cast "Gengzi Beijing Bureau to make Guangxu Yuanbao silver coins", which was destroyed by the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance the following year. In the 29th year of Guangxu, the Tianjin Household Department Mint Factory was built. It wanted to cast Qing gold coins, Qing silver coins and Qing copper coins to pass the world in order to unify the currency and exercise power, but failed. Later, he stayed in the four branch factories in Jiangnan, Beiyang, Hubei and Guangdong, and ordered the provincial mints to stop the expansion and uniformly renamed the provincial household mint branch. The currency models used were provided by the main factory, and they could not be as they wished. Coinage is even more forbidden under the profit of profit. Nowadays, the circulation of silver dollars in the Chinese market is becoming more chaotic. The silver coins of overseas countries and the Longyang of the Qing Dynasty are in parallel. There are many kinds and different colors. The market price is high and low, and people's economic activities are affected by it. The only solution is to reunify the world. The powerful centralized government began to reform the currency system and promulgate the "Regulations on National Currency" and its "implementation details" in order to rectify and unify the silver coin-making bank, or simply establish a central bank to nationalize the right to issue coins.

Huang Xing was impressed when he heard this. Even Sun Wu, who had political disagreement, had to nod and agree. Zhuang Yunkuan is worthy of being a person who has been in officialdom for a long time, and he knows the inside story.

At this time, Huang Xing got up, looked around, and happily raised his glass. After focusing everyone's eyes, Fang said, "Wuchang's first righteousness is the national attention. Feng Guozhang of the Beiyang Army is coming fiercely. This victory will definitely affect the whole country. At this point, Xing can only come up with a surprising way to win.

Everyone looked at Huang Xing dumbly and couldn't keep up with Huang Xing's stream of consciousness for a moment. After having a meal, how to withdraw to the military strategy? The generals present here are also inexplicable. He has not heard that Huang Xing is planning any strange soldiers before. Even if there is, he should not talk about it at the dinner seat. He doesn't understand what military secrets are? Are you drunk? Anyway, there are all kinds of Yi tests, and all the dumbfounded eyes fell on Huang Xing.

Huang Xing looked at their dumbfounded and nodded secretly. What he wanted was such an amazing effect. Since he entered Hubei, the words that he didn't understand tactical strategy often floated into his ears. Even Li Xiang dared to send someone to point to him. No matter how open-minded Huang Xing is, he will have a little nine. Huang Xing and Dai Yuan, a Japanese consultant, repeatedly discussed and formulated a plan to defeat the enemy, just to make a surprise and wash away the bad reputation of the defeated general.

Huang Xing didn't know whether he drank two glasses of wine or was very excited. He announced loudly, "We are now trapped in the defense of the siege, just sitting and waiting to death. The best defense should be attack!" Huang Xing grabbed a glass of wine on the table and drank it all. He casually turned into broken porcelain pieces on the ground and shouted with great pride, "I announce that I will counterattack Feng Ying tonight and kill Feng Guozhang unprepared when the night rain and wind is cold."

The whole audience was in an uproar, and it was similar to boiling.

Wu Zhaolin was the first to stand up and object. He didn't have too much bad feelings about Huang Xing. It's enough to see Huang Xing suffer a little loss and make a big ugly. However, Huang Xing acted so risky that he announced it without winning a little opinion from their staff. The consequences were very serious. Huang Xing couldn't afford to gamble and hurt him wisely for a lifetime. No matter how heartless Wu Zhaolin was, he couldn't sit still. He stood up and objected, "Please think twice, the commander-in-chief. If the strange soldiers can't make it work, the revolutionary army will no longer be able to resist the erosion of the Beiyang Army. Not only can't filial piety be preserved, but I'm afraid that the two towns of Yangxia can't be preserved.

There are always people who come out to oppose it. Huang Xing waved his hand impatiently and said with a straight face, "This battle has attracted the attention of the whole country. Beiyang is very powerful. In order to win, we can only take risks. What's more, our revolutionary people have always been struggling in weakness. We may not lose this battle. Huang Xing looked at Wu Zhaolin's unconvinced face, and some people were also ready to move forward. Huang Xing simply moved out of his official airs, "I am the commander-in-chief of the front line. I am responsible for all the arrangements. No one can interfere in my actions."

Hearing Huang Xing say that "our revolutionary" Wu Zhaolin's good temper will also change his face greatly. It is precisely because he is not a revolutionary and he is not popular on both sides that he can only be a good man in Wuchang. ** In his heart, he always feels that Huang Xing implies that he is a revolutionary speculator. Wu Zhaolin turned his head and simply said no, waiting to see the end of Huang Xing.

When the generals present saw Huang Xing putting on an official airs, they were silent. Huang Xing was on it, and he couldn't pull it back for a while. What's more, Xiaogan's father's face was so loud that he couldn't take it back. Huang Xing's surprise is even crazier than Li Xiang's attack on Hankou overnight. Who is Huang Xing going to be more crazy than Li Xiangyi?

Huang Xing also felt that he was too excited just now. Maybe he has been too depressed recently. Finally, he slowly explained to everyone, "About the strange soldiers, as long as they are used properly, they can be effective. Li wanted to fight in Hankou at night, and then fought on three bridges, all of which used strange soldiers. I have also made full preparations this time. I wrote to Yuan Shikai earlier to deliberately show weakness to the enemy and unwilling to fight with it. It is expected that the Beiyang army will also relax for a period of time. It's windy, rainy and cold at night. In the middle of the night, it's the best time to start a night attack.

After saying that, Huang Xing looked at Sanwu, the military supply. Sun Wu didn't say anything, but he was happy to see Huang Xing take risks, but he was also afraid that Huang Xing would be as successful as Li Xiang. Then there is no doubt that it is to consolidate his position in Hubei, which he never wants to see. Vice ministers Jiang Yiwu and Zhang Zhenwu were a little shaken by Huang Xing's words and felt that they had a lot to do.

After thinking about it, Sun Wusi reluctantly agreed to Huang Xing's request, but he said, "When the commander-in-chief attacked Feng Ying, I took Wuchang to attack from the flank."

Sun Wu put forward such a condition, and the victory or defeat was all considered. Naturally, Sun Wu's flank attack made great contributions to the victory of this surprise attack. If he fails, Huang Xing will naturally come to the top.

Huang Xing didn't think of using a civilian army in Wuchang. He couldn't command those Hubei people, so he could generously let Sun Wu lead him. Huang Xing agreed to Sun Wu's request. As a soldier, the Hunan Second Association Xiang Army can take on the main task. In modern times, there is a saying that there is no Hunan army. Huang Xing expected a miracle to come and put all the treasures on the Xiang army of the Second Association.

Huang Xinghao put down his words, and the generals of all departments also agreed to the night attack policy, and the night banquet ended here. The guests dispersed and waited for tomorrow's victory.

The gates on the east and west sides quietly opened, and Huang Xing led the team city. The rain from this morning lasted until midnight, and it turned into pouring rain.

Huang Xing rode on a big ocean horse pulled from Hankou. The Yanma is tall and powerful. I don't know how many generations of pure-blooded horses have been cultivated. Huang Xing himself looks like a southerner and a burly figure. Sitting on such a superb good thing is even more powerful.

Huang Xing let the drifting rain pour on his face and wet his whole body. The cold was cold, but his heart was hot. Looking at the troops stepping out of the city gate and sending them to Feng Camp, they marched in the middle of the night. The wind and rain came to help, and they didn't see their fingers. They didn't have to be afraid to disturb the enemy at all. With such heavy rain and such cold weather, Feng Guozhang would never have thought that Huang Xing dared to launch a night attack.

The rain is getting worse and bigger, which is so abnormal in autumn in Hubei. The team braved the heavy rain and rushed to Feng Guozhang's camp. Huang Xing immediately issued orders to contact each other and not to fall behind.

It's raining heavily, and even a big hat can't cover the rain and squeeze into Huang Xing's eyes. The heavy rain was accompanied by a strong wind, and the cold air has reached the freezing point. Huang Xing felt that the pure-blooded good post sitting could not withstand such a cold, and he trembled slightly in **. However, the first association of the Xiang army, which took the lead in front of him, formed a student army of a death squad, but was not forced by the cold wind and rain, but rushed to Feng Guozhang's camp fearlessly.

Through the dark curtain composed of wind, rain and night, Huang Xing saw the majestic distant mountains and the vague shadow of the vast Feng Junying Village under the mountain, like a prehistoric monster crawling in front of him.

Huang Xing is full of confidence, super appetite, super good. Tonight, Feng Guozhang's first army will be overthrown by him outside Xiaogan City!
