Hankou.

The morning sun in winter shines on this city that is half heaven and half hell.

This is the largest open port in mainland China, known as the most prosperous commercial street in the city of Las Vegas in the East, Xinsheng Street east of Xunli Gate, and a row of shops on both sides that are not involved in the Hankou fire and is still intact. Under the eaves, they are full of clothes and dirty, and they tremble in the cold wind. The exile. Three inches of sunshine in winter can't add a little warmth to them. The frozen bones on the roadside are increasing every day.

Since the defeat of the revolutionary army in Hankou, Hankou has suffered a tragic war that has not been seen since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The occupier Beiyang Army inherited the barbarism and cruelty of their masters in the Qing Dynasty. They had a headache for the revolutionary army, so they burned the city! From Xunlimen to Yudaimen, the most prosperous ten-mile foreign field in Hankou China was torched, leaving rubble everywhere.

People who live in troubled times in the fire of war still have a little ability to struggle to find a way to get through this cold winter, bursting out the perseverance and tenacity that this nation has always inherited. Since 5,000 years of history, no matter how difficult the historical period is, this nation can tenaciously inherit civilization.

A family and a nest set up broken huts and thatched huts between the rubble, and they actually began to try to rebuild their homes on the ruins. But the Beiyang army is still there. Can the beasts that destroy their homes in this way allow them to rebuild their homes smoothly?

Originally, Hankou was close to the left, and the streets were full of Beiyang soldiers rampaging. In the doomsday weather, the life of the little people was already difficult, and they were still fighting. After the Beiyang army burned and killed them, they had to take food from their rice bowls.

When will this day come to an end? They no longer dare to expect a better future advocated by the revolutionaries. Their life today is like hell!

The sun is cold and the streets are also cold. No matter how many exiles there are, they can't support the prosperity of the city, and the Beiyang army stationed will only bring damage to the city. The Beiyang Army carrying the Mauser fast gun haunted the streets and alleys of Hankou. Behind them, there were always the sound of chickens and dogs jumping and crying and scolding sadly, and they always returned with a full load of big and small bags.

Under the eaves, an old man sat on the floor. His white beard was entangled into a mess. The broken cotton jacket burst into a ball of cotton, and his thin hands pulled the Huqin tremblingly. The sound of the piano is so desolate in the cold winter, and there is a wordless tune coming out of the mouth of the teeth, which is desolate and sad.

Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green.

The evening breeze blows the sound of the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.

The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the knowledge is half scattered. Life is a rare gathering, only parting.

Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green.

Ask you when you will return here, and don't wander when you come.

The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the knowledge is half scattered.

A pot of turbidity is sprinkled with joy. Don't dream of cold tonight.

It seems that only the desolate and sad tune can express the old man's mood at this time.

Since Liu Yuan's performance, this song has been spread all over the streets and alleys overnight, warming the hearts of the injured people in Hankou.

Several Beiyang soldiers passed by and stopped when they heard this desolate melody.

"Speaking of which, it's winter, and the Spring Festival will be in more than a month..."

"You son of a bitch! Are you homesick? Do you still miss your daughter-in-law?

"After becoming a soldier, it's rare to go home once a year. Can you miss home?"

"Cut, your pocket is facing the sky, and you lose all. You don't even have money to sell a red head rope to your daughter-in-law, and you still have the face to go home?"

***! Ming'er, without telling the sentry officer, let's go to the countryside and find some extras..."

"That's right. The melon in Hankou has been cleaned... Make a profit, so that you can go home for the Spring Festival!"

"Yes, I'm so homesick!"

The voice of Beiyang soldiers' discussion, one after the other, floated with the desolate tune in the winter sun. I'm homesick, and there is no reason.

"Listen! What sound?"

Listening to the old man singing desolate tunes and chatting about the thoughts of his home thousands of miles away, he suddenly heard Wuchang on the other side of the river, making a bursting cry. Wuchang, which had been quiet and depressed for a few days, suddenly seemed to be lively. At first, with the wind coming across the river, the faint shouting sound was a little noisy and mixed into a ball, but in a blink of an eye, the shouting became louder and louder until the wave of cheers on the other side could be clearly heard!

"Huh? What's going on with the Wuchang Bandit Party? Do you owe it? Haven't you been beaten yet?"

"Do they dare to tear up the armistice agreement signed by the foreign lord?"

"Huh! The bandit party has such courage, and they won't make peace!"

A small leader of this team of Beiyang soldiers scolded and strode towards the Yangtze River, and the brothers behind him also followed with a buzzing sound.

By the river, the little officer just jumped: "He ***, what on earth is the gangster crazy about? Will the revolution be carried out to the end? They are really desperate crazy people!"

"Kone the revolution to the end!" The soldiers and people of Wuchang shouted in unison, and the huge waves of the Yangtze River were also silent under this roar, roaring again and again, riding the wind and waves, turbulently in Hankou City.

All the Beiyang army soldiers opened their mouths and stared at it. Listening, they couldn't believe the sudden self-confidence of the bandit party. It was yesterday that Wuchang was still dead and signed the alliance under the city.

The cheers went straight up in the air. You can see the longing of people on the ancient walls of Wuchang. The main seat of Wuchang City is full of people shouting crazily. The sound of cheering sounded, and finally converged into a sound.

Carry out the revolution to the end!

The little officer is still stunned. Several veterans below have already roared: "Your Excellency, let's go to vigilance!" If the bandits cross the river and land them here, we will all have to lose our heads!"

Now the foreign commissary officer also reacted. Order loudly.

A group of people rushed back to the position. Many brothers are also aspiring. Take advantage of the fire to rob, and then scrape the ground three feet in Hankou to get the last one.

They have no intention to fight again.

They have learned the madness of the bandit party. From the Lidian to the three bridges, there is no need for the collision of white blades. It's really fing. They went south with the idea of getting promoted and making a fortune. Such a deadly battle can be supported once or twice. Now looking at the terrible madness of the soldiers and civilians in Wuchang and the firm belief of dying for Lord Yuan, they also began to waver in their hearts. The fatigue of fighting hard all the way made them tired of this war.

And the end of the year is approaching. How many northerners in Beiyang will fight for thousands of miles, and it is inevitable that they will miss their homes.

At this moment, the morale of the Beiyang Army is no longer the time to enter Hankou!

The Beiyang army has no intention to fight to death. It just wants to wait for the Wuchang bandit party to fight across the river and be kicked out of Hankou. Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity that the Wuchang Bandit Party didn't come here? The officer roared and warned. Who won't take advantage of this to scrape another layer of land and get some benefits? At this time, who is still behind is a fool.

A group of talents are approaching the well-preserved mansions in the Hankou fire. These are rich and powerful local rich families in Hankou, which are more or less involved with the upper class of Beiyang. They didn't dare to touch these masters before, but now they are leaving, but they don't care about so much. I'm rubbing my hands and getting ready to do it. A black melon grenade crossed the arc and hit it. Someone looked up and squinted at the beautiful arc drawn in the sun, bang! The grenade exploded shrapnel splashed, and the crowd on the street, regardless of the military and the people, immediately knocked down. Most of them did not die and moaned in pain on the ground.

In the chaos, Henan roared, "It's the remnants of the Hankou Bandit Party!"

Since the Beiyang Army stationed in Hankou, Jin Zhaolong has become the largest anti-Beiyang army organization in Hankou from the original Hankou Local Snake Brother Association for the team. With complicated tricks, it creates a lot of trouble for the Beiyang Army. It is already a big trouble for the Beiyang Army to settle down in Hankou. Such a chaotic good opportunity, why don't they join in the fun?

The scene was already chaotic, and could you still blow up two more grenades?

Those people in Hankou who are trapped in the whirlpool of chaos have been confused. The military disaster that has just passed has not subsided, and their nervous nerves have long been overwhelmed. At this time, it's chaotic. I don't know where to escape? Like a headless fly, it adds to the chaos. What kind of evil did this Hankou do in Hubei, that is, when there is no life?

The little officer leading the team just rushed to the front, his arm was scratched by shrapnel, and he was lying on the ground crying. Several soldiers dragged him down: "Your excellency, the bandits are at us in the dark. What should we do?"

The little officer had a runny nose and tears: "It's all tied up to me, and don't let one go!" If you can't find the murderer, you can't leave! I still have to avenge my own arms! He is, and the bandits are among them!"

These vicious dogs immediately rushed up, kicked down several people running around like headless flies, and tied them up. At this moment, I heard the sound of thunder behind my hooves, and large groups of people rushed over. The first one turned out to be Li Chun, the sixth town control!

This large group of people came over and immediately controlled the chaotic situation.

Li Chun, who was surrounded and protected by his own soldiers, turned pale on the horse.

In the armistice agreement just signed, such a scene appeared in Wuchang, which even triggered the chaos in Hankou. The embassy was set on fire, and there were shootings. Premier Yuan Shikai is fully responsible for the war in Hubei. He is striving for peace between the north and the south, and even Wuchang, which is readily available, has temporarily released his hand. Can you hold on to Wuchang and suddenly have such a big mess?

Li Chuntie got off the horse with a blue face. The horse whip pointed to these people who fell down on the ground and said fiercely, "Take them all back!" If you gather a crowd to make trouble, you will never be forgiven. He suddenly turned around and stared at such a cringering people fiercely. "The whole city is under martial law. Give me peace, or I'll send you to prison!"

The people are still silent, but they are as silent as mountains. They always feel a little different from the usual numbness. Li Chun was cruel to them, which diluted the strange feeling of restlessness and crossed the horse.

The streets of Hankou slowly return to the original desolation, but occasionally you can hear the cheers from Wuchang.

From time to time, a horse team passes by on the street. The knights on the horse team are dressed in new military uniforms, but with long braids that are not compatible behind their heads. The ling of the horse's hoof rang, and the people of Hankou stumbled away. Everyone knows that this is the messenger of the Beiyang Army who is in a hurry to send messages back and forth. If their horses are trampled to death, that is Bai Rao!

Several strong horses also passed by the street, and the knights of the Beiyang Army rode on the horse and looked at the North Korean people who were as afraid as snakes and scorpions.

The Jianma galloped, and immediately the Beiyang soldier spit fiercely. He was rolled up by the wind and fell back to his face. He hurried to rub it, and scolded even more fiercely in his heart: "Dog bastard!"

There are also people who look at the Beiyang soldiers running horses, and then scolded fiercely, "Qinggou!"

This kind of scene can be seen almost everywhere on the streets of Hankou.

"Your Excellency, the imperial ediction!" The North Western Knight stood outside the gazebo. Respectfully handed over the Huangfeng's edict box.

Hearing this sound of return, the two people in the Liu's Garden of the First Army in Beiyang, Hankou trembled. Feng Guozhang was wearing jackets and trousers and casual clothes. He picked up the chess pieces and patted them heavily: "General! Let's see what else you can do?" With that, he casually went to get the oracle box wrapped in yellow cloth.

Sitting opposite him was Jin Yunpeng, who came from Duan Qirui, who was not as casual as Feng Guozhang. He was dressed neatly, but he didn't wear a top. A pair of clouds and winds were clear, calm and calm. Listening to the oracle coming, he didn't even raise his head, but the corners of his eyes moved.

He waited quietly for a long time. He heard Feng Guozhang sigh and said depressedly, "There are only a few bandits in Wuchang. The ships of the Beiyang Army are gathered by the river. As long as there is an order, Wuchang can be captured immediately. Why does Lord Yuan always hesitate? If there is anything to talk about, just fight.

Hearing this, Jin Yunpeng could no longer pretend to be calm. He stood up and forced to sit down slowly: "Your Excellency, this is..."

Feng Guozhang patted his thigh and handed the message to Jin Yunpeng depressedly: "The court applied for my message! He said that I acted like Meng Lang and asked me to stop attacking. First of all, remember the second time, and he was dismissed from his post. The bonus record is not allowed to offset... This is just the beginning, and Duan Qirui is also included in the oracle. He said that the court had a decree and sent Duan Qirui to be the acting governor of Huguang. Before Duan Qirui took office, I assisted in leading the First Army of Hankou to prepare for the withdrawal from the north! This one is good for me! Yun Peng, I don't know what tricks Duan Qirui used behind my back?

Jin Yunpeng's hand trembled slightly and took the message. I finally got the good news!

He has tried his best to deal with Feng Guozhang with Duan Qirui. I never thought that I would achieve my goal so easily. They should be even more proud of their thinking about Yuan Shikai.

At that time, Feng Guozhang, who directly commanded the Beiyang Army, was inclined to continue to fight against the revolutionary army, while Duan Qirui advocated peace talks. Yuan Shikai used the two to express their different opinions to confuse the public, so that the Qing court and the revolutionaries did not doubt their manipulation. On the day after Feng Guozhang captured Hanyang, he sent Duan Qirui south to be the deputy governor of Huguang.

After connecting to Hankou and Hanyang, Feng Guozhang took advantage of the victory with courage and wanted (and was fully capable) to get rid of Wuchang. Master Feng's initiative made Yuan Shikai in Beijing eager to attack. He was so angry that he had to call in person to stop this ignorant subordinate and let him stop the attack. After stopping, it's hard to say why.

As for Feng Guozhang, ten thousand people can't figure out - Wuchang's revolutionary army has been few, and the Qing army's large and small ships are gathered by the river. As long as there is an order, Wuchang can be captured immediately. Therefore, he sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai again and again, asking him to issue a general attack order.

If he continues like this, the unlucky days are yet to come!

Feng Guozhang only knew that he sent telegrams to Yuan Shikai again and again, asking him to issue a general attack order. Yuan Shikai was speechless for a moment, and he could only watch for a while.

Yuan Shikai is still thinking about the overall situation of China and don't change again! If the peace talks continue with peace of mind, China's fate will fall into the palm of the hand.

Help Yuan Shikai do this. His future is naturally boundless, not to mention that he also has a relationship with Duan Qirui.

It's fine now. Finally, there is a way to deal with Feng Guozhang with Shang Fang's sword! Except for Yuan Shikai's heart disease.

The Chinese characters translated from the code above and the following regular script. For a moment, it swayed in front of his eyes like small black dots. I can't see anything clearly.

He took a deep breath and said repeatedly in his heart, "When you encounter big things, you should be quiet. Jin Yunpeng, you are so proud!"

I said it twice, and my hands didn't shake. He smiled and returned the message to Feng Guozhang, who was still proud.

Of course, he knew Feng Guozhang's loss. At this time, he also came to persuade him to agree to make peace, so he still comforted him: "The case of burning and killing in Hankou, noisy newspapers, and the big tree was actually attributed to a lot of grievances. Everyone's mouths of gold and accumulated and destroyed the bones. I can't be in danger for the big tree. A few days ago, he met the Jinmen with Ma in the Jinghan car and began to know the injustice of the big tree. Chun has been published in the newspaper again and again, for which he made a confession and talked about the elegance of his life. However, the big tree has been abandoned for several years. Once it is the front of the revolution, it is said that it is strong to sacrifice its life and turn the tide.

Feng Guozhang patted his thigh again and laughed: "Okay! It's enough to have a confidant in life.

Feng Guozhang's laughter was still a little lonely, and he was also angry when he walked around. Yunpeng, what do you think of the peace discussion?

Jin Yunpeng just bent down and smiled respectfully: "Your Excellency, the north and the south have finally broken up in this matter. Both sides are bound to lose and die together. At present, although there is harmony, the political system is solved, the purpose is different, and the ways are divided. Each sect says that the technique of solution still needs to be studied..."

Feng Guozhang also calmed down a little from his depression and said with a smile, "Yunpeng, Yu Yu is in the Republic, and I have always agreed with it. If I am in the seat of the Grand President, I can't do it without it. If I steal the trend of the Northern Army, I will not be willing to obey the orders of the South Government."

Jin Yunpeng smiled and said, "What you are worried about, I am also the same. The problem we should study is here. In terms of contemporary Chinese talents, there are many people in the new academic world who can manipulate everything, have military and political experience, prestige, and have diplomatic credit.

Feng Guozhang smiled and said, "The initiative of the Northern Army is in Lord Yuan, and the feelings of the generals of the Northern Army are also in Lord Yuan. If the Southern Army can agree with the move of pushing Lord Yuan, then the last problem, although he is not sensitive, can still understand Chen's theory that Beiyang is in power, and it can be solved from now on, and it is not known. However, it seems that the treaty to protect the royal family of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restore the order of the provinces must be negotiated in advance..."

The two looked at each other and just smiled.

Jin Yunpeng also promised: "If the plan we plan can come true, the bandits can be guaranteed in China, and the royal family will survive, that is, the reputation of the lives of Xiangcheng and the Northern Army will not be lost. The so-called three good things will be prepared. However, the starting strategy must be based on the premise of the interests of the country and the people, and lobbying in two aspects must be properly. Moreover, the Southern Army has changed its original policy, advocating humanitarianism and paying attention to political revolution. If the Qing Emperor can help Yaoshun and declare a republic, he will preferentially treat the royal family, which is his due. Now I will try to establish a hypothetical negotiation and condition to quality the two kings. ( 1) Preserve the honor of the royal family. ( 2) Organize a republican regime and publicize Yuan Xiangcheng as the interim president. ( 3) Preferential treatment for soldiers in wartime. ( 4) Restore order in each province. Take these four as the standard, and then conspire to carry it out without any worries, and vow not to achieve this goal.

"Good!"
