196 undefeated
"Marshal, this is the invitation sent by the head of Huangguangzhong County of Anrongtang, Anlu Huangshi. I hope you can talk about it... Marshal, this is a invitation from the Li family of the local rich family in Xiaochang. The visitor said that you are about to take charge of the military and government of Xiaochang, and the Li family is a big family of Xiaochang. I hope to talk to you about the truth inside and outside of Xiaochang. Shuai, let's discuss the plan to expel the Beiyang Army..."
The beautiful little nurse in the field hospital took off her angel's white clothes and put on a heroic military uniform, replacing Tang Yuewan's secretary, who was secretly transported to Hankou for medical treatment. She was holding a pile of invitations around Marshal Li.
"The commander-in-chief, this is the invitation sent from Xiangyang sent by the Liu family of Xiangyang, a member of the Wang nationality in Hubei Province. He also asked for the invitation of the two leaders of the Liu family. He said that he admired the commander-in-chief who defeated the Beiyang army and wanted to buy wine to congratulate the commander-in-in-chief. In order to protect the people of Hubei and for the heroic demeanor of the bloody war of the national revolution... The commander-in-chief, this is the Xiaogan Lin Hanlin family. In the invitation of the new owner, the Xiaogan Lin family has been repeatedly persecuted by the Beiyang army. Now the owner is in Anlu and has cried to Master Lin several times. He must talk to the general..."
Li Xiang just returned to his own Xingyuan. In Huang's Anrong Hall, what she saw was that the little sister of a thin-breasted nurse was suffering with a delicate beautiful little face, holding a large stack of invitations. She was really like a big steward, talking about the beginning of these invitations.
In the past, An Rongtang was only related to the luck of Anlu. Nowadays, people from all over Anrongtang come in and out. Li wants to stay here. From then on, it has affected the luck of the whole Hubei, and even the luck of the whole world.
Li Xiang didn't say anything with a calm face. The head of the special forces guard beside him was very curious to rummbling in it. He turned around proudly and smiled at Li Xiang and said, "Marshal, our revolutionary army is in Hubei, isn't it also a stop? You see, there are so many local clans who want to invite us... There is also a string of numbers attached to it?
The little sister's housekeeper said with a stinky face, "That's the silver of filial piety!" Those guys are sending out names!"
Li Xiang waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Is it a certificate? Forget it! What is the situation of the Beiyang army in Hubei? Who else will know better than these local snakes? Seeing that the Beiyang Army could not support us in Hubei, of course, they quickly leaned on us and pushed the wall down... When we were unlucky, did they see us? When we show weakness on that day, we will also carry us away without hesitation.
Several people talked about walking, and many busy revolutionary soldiers came and went, busy with their own affairs everywhere. With the filial piety of big families all over the country, the soldiers of the revolutionary army also changed into new winter clothes. They no longer looked tattered and patrolled everywhere inside and outside the mansion. It was time to change shifts, and the people in the house were very excited. Although it is not as awe-inspiring as the regular national defense army in later generations, it is also full of strange vitality.
The housekeeper's little sister squinted at Li Xiang, and looked a little innocent and unhappy. She was still sulking about transfering her from the field hospital and replacing the injured Tang Yuewan as Li Shuai's housekeeper's secretary.
The field hospital is very busy. A large number of injured people need surgery, transfer, and nursing... Now they are talking about these trivial things... The housekeeper's little sister is extremely depressed.
Li Xiang was waiting for Zeng Gao, who summarized the general gin's information, and did not know what had changed in the situation outside during the period of the bloody battle. He must master it clearly to know how to go next. There is a faint boredom in my heart, and there is always some ominous hunch...
What sounded in my ear was the nagging voice of the housekeeper's little sister, which was not like the beautiful and lovely thin-breasted beauty she saw in the operating room of the field hospital. Like Tang Yuewan at the beginning, she became a housekeeper: "Shandi, how can we answer these people?"
Li Xiang snorted, "I'm not going. How can I have that American time? One post said that I was preparing for a war with the Beiyang Army in the coming day. These guys can't be too polite to them!"
"You can't be too polite to them!" Song Que nodded with the same feeling, "General, I'm finally liberated today. Thanks to the nurse's little sister taking over the housekeeper's job..."
The housekeeper's little sister nodded and said with a bitter face, "Marshal, how much is the monthly use of our revolutionary army? You don't have anything in your hand. You only raised 60,000 yuan yesterday. Now it is supported by families from all over the country, and there are people who want to spend the winter without food because of this military disaster, which is not a long-term solution. Marshal, you should maintain a good relationship with these big families. The revolutionary army is counting on you to eat..."
It's a little silly to think about Qian Li. Originally, he was still full of other worries, but now he thinks that he really wants to raise so many people to eat! In a blink of an eye, a poor man was poked into a painful place and became angry: "Go! You didn't look like such a mother-in-law before. How did you become like this now? Go and do your business! Send all the posts... As long as our revolutionary army continues to win the war, the money will not come!"
The housekeeper's little sister muttered and walked out: "I said I didn't want to do this. You insisted that I do this. I'd rather do nursing in a field hospital..."
Looking at the housekeeper's little sister going out far away, Li Xiang sighed discouraged. I went to a housekeeper and another housekeeper...
Song Que laughed loudly and said, "It's not easy... In the future, the scale will get bigger and bigger, and the place to use the money is behind... When to kill back to Hankou and take the customs back, you don't have to worry about money..."
Li Xiang is still worried about himself. Where can he get rich before he takes back Hankou Customs? I heard the sound of footsteps outside the door. Then there was the voice of the housekeeper's little sister: "Sarge, Zeng Zaiza!"
Li thought about standing up and saw Zeng Gao, Li Xiping, Lin Tiechang, Zhou Wu and other generals entering the hall where they were in turn, and the group of people patted a military salute.
Zeng Gao said, "Marshal, the Empress Dowager Longyu of the Qing Dynasty ordered: Now that there is a truce between the north and the south, and we should send personnel to discuss the overall situation. Yuan Shikai is the minister of plenipotentiary, and the minister will entrust representatives to go to the south to discuss it effectively to determine the overall situation. After that, Yuan Shikai sent Tang Shaoyi as the plenipotentiary to negotiate peace.
Li Xiang slapped him: "I know that Yuan Shikai's peace is just a means by which he is ready to take the highest power in the country! What's the response from Shanghai and Ningxia?
"The Shanghai Parliament and the members stranded in Wuchang elected Wu Tingfang as the General Representative of the Southern Assembly..."
Li Xiang suddenly stood up: "The Beiyang Army has suffered a series of defeats in the battlefield in Hubei. The morale of the revolutionary army is the time of setting off a frenzy. Can't the Taoists see it? Or is our
Zeng Gao ignored him, but continued: "On that day, Yuan Shikai ordered Zhao Tian, the commander-in-chief of the Yi army, to lead his troops to occupy Tongguan, the gateway of Shaanxi, and the revolutionary army Zhang Qian and Liu Zhenhua retreated from Huazhou. The next day, Cao Kui and Lu Yongxiang, the commander of Beiyang Third Town, led their troops to capture the gateway of Shanxi.
Yuan Shikai's hand naturally aroused the great indignation of Marshal Li. He smiled grimly: "Yuan Shikai wants to stabilize the north, so that he can bargain with the south, and even be ready to tear his face and fight against the river... My uproar is not good enough, and it's not enough to make Yuan Shikai's dream fail! Does Shanghai and Ningxia give in like this?
"We are bleeding, and we have to carry out the revolution to the end, but it is still such a result." Zeng Gao shook his head and sighed: "The two governors of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Tang Shouqian and Cheng Dequan, as well as the legislators of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, Zhang Qian, were all constitutional councils or relatively enlightened old bureaucrats. Now they see the wave of demanding the implementation of democratic republic, which is uncontrollable, so they turned to the side of the independent province. If the Qing Dynasty can abdicize, implement a democratic and republican regime, and Yuan Shikai, who has always been trusted by them, holds the highest power, this is exactly what they have been looking for for for a long time. Peace is naturally what they want!"
"Isn't this to leave us talking about peace? Beiyang and Huning unite to deal with us? Li Xiping said coldly.
"Would you like to put aside our peace talks? Bah, there's no way!" Li wanted to turn around angrily, "Do you want to deal with me? I'll pay it back twice! Didn't I, a newly released Marshal Li, disappoint those big shots who value me if I don't do some beautiful things? Humph! Now I'm really ready to hold all the unexpected fates and all the unexpected history in my own hands! No matter how difficult it is to change, just watch it.
Listening to Li Xiang's calm voice, the housekeeper blinked in a daze. I feel that the handsome man in front of me is a little strange.
"Marshal! Let's fight!" Song Que shouted, "If anyone still let us suffer losses like Hankou, I will fight with him!"
"Don't be reckless, don't be impulsive!" Zeng Gao said anxiously, "The overall situation is like this. We can no longer control it. We have done our best. At present, we should take consolidating the revolutionary base as the first priority. Nowadays, we don't need to care about the agreement reached between Huning and Beiyang. As long as we control and firmly occupy the real power of Hubei, the existence of the north and the south cannot be underestimated. There is always a chance.
"Why did we do it?" Li Xiang shook his head: "Because of what our people want! People are tired of war! I'm afraid that the people will be blinded by the false sincerity of Yuan Shikai, who shouts peace, and cause a greater tragedy!"
They all know Yuan Shikai's ambitions that such a powerful old bureaucrat, who puts the republic on him, really dares not be similar.
"What should I do?" Zeng Gao, who was as smart as a fox, also asked helplessly.
"We should focus on reviewing the gains and losses of the past revolution from a military perspective, judge the current situation of the war, determine the military strategic policy of the future revolution, and adjust the deployment accordingly. I have an idea to divide the strategic stage of the revolution. Lixiang said, "This revolution can be divided into two periods according to the predetermined strategic strategy. From Wuchang to the Beiyang army's occupation of Wuhan, it was the first period of the revolution. Since then, it belongs to the second phase of the revolution, that is, the period when we turn defense into attack and defeat into victory.
"Turn defense into attack, defeat into victory?" Song Que asked in surprise.
Li Xiang nodded, "Hubei Theater!"
"In those years, Li Hongzhang fought against France and was undefeated. Now we in Beiyang are desperate. Even if we turn defeat into victory, the Nanjing Provisional Government will ignore us and want to make peace with Beiyang. We will be invincible!" Zeng Gao's family is far away from learning, and one sentence points out the key to this situation.
"That's because our results are not brilliant enough, not enough to shock the world and awaken the world!" Li wanted to dance loudly, "We must continue to expand the results of the war, continuously launch a limited number of attacks and counterattacks, so as to contain the consumption of the enemy and respond to the guerrilla war behind the enemy; strengthen the control and attack behind the enemy, turn the enemy's rear into the front, force the enemy to push the point line, stop its comprehensive control and material plunder, and smash Yuan Shikai's theft of the country. At the same time, he transferred troops, took turns to train, strengthened his combat strength, and prepared for a general counterattack.
Li Xiang suddenly blessed his heart, such as Yue Wumu's soul possession. The advantage of this policy is that he paid attention to the role of guerrilla warfare, which is also his most powerful weapon at present, increasing his strength to compete for control behind the enemy. Although the main force in the frontal battlefield requires a limited offensive, it focuses on training. The army, the recovery and cultivation of combat effectiveness, that is, the preservation of strength, is the core issue that Li Xiang has been emphasizing since the revolution entered the stage of holding each other.
In accordance with the changes in the war situation and the requirements of the new strategic policy, the Anrongtang Military Conference decided to redivide the war zone and adjust the deployment. The content of the meeting covers the political, military, economic, diplomatic and other aspects of the second revolution. Its main topics are revolution and party affairs. After the Battle of Yangxia, Yuan Shikai focused on political seduction and disintegrated the Nanjing Provisional Government from within the Southern Democratic Party. In the Democratic Party, especially the old bureaucrats of the Constitutional Council, the air of compromise and peace among the influential sergeants in Jiangnan has risen again. In this regard, Li Xiang reiterated in his declaration: "What we seek is a peace of republic, not a surrender of peace, not a surrender to a republic, and only to contribute to the dictator. If the revolution is feroding against the violence in Beiyang and seeking peace for a while, it will be reduced to the private property surnamed Yuan Shikai.
expressed the intention to adhere to the revolution. Li Sang also criticized the tendency of peace in Beiyang in his opening speech entitled "The facts prove that the Beiyang will defeat and our revolution will win" and said that he would insist on carrying out the revolution to the end.
After the battle in Huangcun, the revolutionary army in the Xiaochang and Xiaogan areas had the dual tasks of fighting the Beiyang Army with guerrilla warfare and assisting local party and government organizations to carry out the work of the unified revolutionary front. At the same time, it expanded the independent brigade of Zhou Wushi, connecting the two bases of Xiaochang and Xiaogan, thus controlling the east of the Beijing-Han Railway and the Han River. On both sides, the triangular plain area south of the water. The further expansion and consolidation of the base of the revolutionary army also aroused the panic and uneasiness of Duan Qirui of the Beiyang Xiaogan camp.
After Li Xiang led the division command post back to Anlu, he entered the previous episode north of Huaxi. In addition, Li Xiping and Lin Tiechang returned to the division to join Li Xiang. At this point, Anlu has officially become the center of the revolutionary base in Hubei. After smashing the siege of Huangcun of the Beiyang Army, most of the troops crossed the Jinghan Railway and had penetrated into the south of Hanyang Prefecture to open up a base. Only three companies of the division followed the division to insist on the struggle against the enemy and continue to mobilize the masses.
Li wants to constantly emphasize that the army should not only grasp the armament, but also the regime, and the economy. While expanding their forces, the troops basically use companies as units to disperse and mobilize the masses, organize agricultural rescue associations, women rescue associations and children's regiments, actively support local work, sort out taxes, and strengthen the construction of revolutionary and democratic regimes. As soon as the troops arrived at the place, they immediately dispersed to the villages to do mass work. Through the policy of reducing rents and interest rates, they vigorously helped the masses to develop production. In winter, every family experienced this catastrophe, and there were many people who could not survive the winter with surplus food. The revolutionary army spared no effort to help, which made the ruined rural exhibition after the war appear in this winter. A thriving scene. In the eye-catching place of the village houses, slogans such as "united by the army and the people, carry out the revolution to the end" are posted: when the people see the real revolutionary army, they are full of joy and place the expectation of killing the enemy for revenge. The revolutionary army has taken deep roots in Hubei.
After Li wanted to adjust the strategy, there was a heated discussion at the military conference in order to implement it.
The housekeeper ran in in a hurry. Li wanted to ask, "Is dinner ready?"
After a day's meeting, my stomach was empty.
The housekeeper's little sister shook her head: "Marshal, there is an enemy who has been dispatched from the county."
"The opportunity will come as soon as possible!" Lixiangmeng patted the table and said, "Notify the troops immediately to prepare for action, and send scouts to continue to detect the enemy."
This Beiyang Army belongs to an elite brigade of the Xiaogan Battalion. It is said that the officer of the Beiyang Army was born in the Army Primary School and studied in the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. He also has relatives with Duan Qirui. Therefore, although his official rank is not high, he is superior and extremely arrogant. He quickly promoted himself in the implementation of the so-called "public security plan" and ingeniously turned the dispatch of troops into an "armed demonstration", in an attempt to take this opportunity to expand its momentum, show the prestige of "Beiyang" and elevate his personal reputation. He pulled a cavalry squadron and a wild artillery team assigned to him, together with the infantry brigade and more than a thousand people directly under his control, all out of the county. The front was opened by the cavalry and the infantry, and then with two heavy field guns dragged by eight oriental war horses. In the middle, the infantry lined up in a column with a ninety-two infantry gun and two heavy guns. The machine gun swaggered north to take Jinkou, stayed overnight, crossed the Han River the next day, and headed for the Anlu area, in an attempt to find the main force of the revolutionary army, carried out a demonstration sweep of the revolutionary army area, and found out the main force of the revolutionary army. He also wanted to encircle and suppress Huangcun.
The revolutionary army had just emerged from the encirclement and suppression of Huangcun, and all the officers and soldiers were very eager to take revenge for war. Therefore, in the face of the enemy sent to the door, Li Xiang was as excited as a hunter found a beast. He shouted excitedly, "Eat it!"
As he quickly walked to the wall, he measured the military map with his hand and calculated the distance from Jinkou to Anlu.
Li Xiping, like Lin Tiechang, Zhou Wu and other generals, was eager to kill the enemy. Zeng Gao carefully thought about the situation of the enemy and our army: since the revolutionary army marched east, in order to carry out guerrilla warfare, it has carried out large scattered operations. At present, more than a thousand people from the Beiyang army have been sent to the door. It was a once-in-a-lifetime annihilation opportunity, but there are only three companies around, Ruoli It is obviously difficult to eat the enemy in the daytime. This time, the enemy is called an armed demonstration, which is actually the main force looking for us. Relying on the elite weapons, the Beiyang army grew arrogance and attempted to lift my threat to the enemy's north-south traffic arteries in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the purpose of destroying the construction of our new area. The reconnaissance results of the revolutionary army in various places show that the enemy is an isolated division. It has no follow-up troops, no enemy strongholds nearby, and lacks enemy policy activities. Although our army's strength is not large, it still has more favorable factors, that is, our army's morale is high, brave in combat; rich guerrilla combat experience; and favorable terrain. As long as you pay attention to concealment and attack the enemy unexpectedly, you are sure to destroy this Beiyang army.
"Kighten the enemy's demonstration." Zeng Gao agreed.
