ideal era

199 work does not have to be self-fulfilling

The rising smoke on the battlefield rendered the sky into a gray and heavy color. The winter sun lost its luster, and the rising fireballs splashed in the sky. The sound of explosions shook the sky. As soon as the battle begins, it is the most intense and bloody. Zhou Wu wanted to swallow the Beiyang Army team that fell off the tail of the car, but the progress was extremely poor.

Because the old horse machine gun turned to the cavalry rushing over by the Beiyang army, a machine gun of the Beiyang army immediately grabbed the air attack and swept over in a blink of an eye. Without the suppression of the old horse's machine gun, the artillery auxiliary guard of the Beiyang Army quickly formed a counterattack.

Zhou Wu buried his head and ran all the way, and the hot metal jet almost swept behind him, like a death sickle flying everywhere.

Looking at the burning grass, Liu Dahu shrugged his shoulders slightly, carried a gun, and slid down the ditch to the other side. Master Zhou urgently needs their own support. It seems that the Beiyang Army has focused on their side.

"We, we, we are covered." Compared with Zhou Wu's solemn face, but as a teacher, he showed very calm kung fu. The youngest soldier beside him had already been sweating all over the sky and scolded one after another. The roaring bullets flew from the top of the head, and everyone would feel nervous. Even Zhou Wu, who was somewhat calm at this time, also felt his mouth dry. This mistake was purely caused by his greed.

"Cover them!" Liu Dahuzi said, while pulling the bolt, a 7.92mm bullet was sent into Hanyang's imitation Mauser gun chamber, pressing the sight on the head of the Beiyang Army machine gunner.

Liu Dahu, who newly joined the Revolutionary Army, is a famous sharpshooter of Zhou Wu's division and a hunter. At the beginning, Song Que liked it at first sight and bewitched his beard to join his Golden Eagle Commando. Because of Song Que's corner digging behavior, Zhou Wu almost had to fight with him.

The deputy Yintai next to him took the lead, shook his hand and flew out a grenade.

"Boom!" A mass of orange-red and yellow fire suddenly bloomed, and the earth splashed everywhere. The Beiyang Army team, who was half kneeling next to the machine gun and commanded the counterattack, was thrown high in the firelight. The air wave wrapped in countless shrapnel threw him out fiercely and fell heavily aside. And the two machine gunners on the other side have been splashed flesh and blood for a long time.

As soon as the Beiyang army team struggled to get up and raised its hands, a 79-caliber bullet flew in. He was in severe pain and fell down again. His left arm was cut off from the elbow by the kinetic energy of the bullet itself. Blood splashed, torn muscle tissue and lavender vascular nerve soft bubbles. In the blood stain, Bai Sensen's bones are pestle on the mud, and of course there will be a piercing pain.

The strange howling officer struggled to sit up. His legs were broken by fragments, and his two calves had long lost consciousness.

"Your Excellency..." Several Beiyang soldiers rushed over, but were stunned by the scene in front of them. A health soldier quickly took out an ambulance bag and began to stop the bleeding. Kill me, kill me..." The roaring Beiyang officer howled violently.

"Bum!" The health soldier in front of him fell down like a wooden stake. The huge impact of the 7.92mm bullet beat his head into a broken ladle, rolling and stirring the metal warhead. While wrung the brain tissue, he lifted the iron helmet on the top of his head with a stream of red and white ** flying, and drew a picture in the air and It's not a perfect arc.

The turbid red and white ** sprayed the Beiyang officer's face and covered his body. The shocking fear made him howling hysterically. He struggled to lie down and took out the pistol from his waist with his remaining right hand. He almost trembled and stuffed the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, and the saliva flowed down the dark body of the gun with a little metal paint.

The Beiyang officer who closed his eyes closed his eyes in pain and pulled the trigger. Bang!" Following the worm line in the gun, a bullet rotated happily and came out, with unscattered gunpowder particles. The round-headed bullet covered with lead fiercely penetrated the muscles and bones of the upper jaw, rolling and strangled the skull into pieces, and then came out of the back of the brain, and a blood arrow flew out.

Liu Beard in the distance saw everything clearly from behind the quasi-star, shook his head slightly, left a bullet, and turned the gun, "Kara!" Another bullet was loaded.

More than a dozen Beiyang cavalrymen were killed by Lao Ma's machine gun fire on the other side of the bridge, and they could not cross the river for a while. However, this also affected a squad leader's actions more or less, and a group of reinforced Beiyang soldiers were blocked there.

Li wanted to take the staff to the highland again. Seeing that the other side of the river was already in a mess, Zhou Wu's greedy red eye was entangled in the battlefield for a moment and could not get out. The plan to lure the enemy to harass the enemy was probably messed up, but he couldn't reach out, which would shock Beiyang. The army, fighting grass and frightening the snakes, can't get wet to lure the enemy deep. Li Xiang felt that his heart was like fire.

The explosion sound, the sound of fried bean-like gunfire, and the rolling smoke and fire that almost enveloped the sky made Li think almost have an unbearable impulse to cross the river embankment above his head and directly hit the bayonet with the Beiyang army. It's always hard to fight hard. It's really difficult for Zhou Wu to be patient and not greedy.

In this way, Li Xiang is in a dilemma. If he advances, the Beiyang army is scared away, and the retreat is obviously even more unrealistic, because it is almost impossible to get involved in the river behind him again. The machine gun firepower of the Beiyang Army can block the river at any time. It is almost impossible to cross it.

"Zhou Wu's heroism and individualism kill people, and he has to fight desperately and divide the occasion." Li thought angrily and scolded, "Order Zhou Wu to do everything possible to exit the battlefield immediately!"

Shanghai.

There was a war in Hubei, but singing and dancing here.

The towering and spectacular Shanghai military governor's mansion stands high on the Shanghai Beach. The dragon buildings are covered by red walls or green bamboo. The artificial rockery is staggered and scattered among the artificially chiseled streams. Cloud trees are scallion cages, and the weather is rich. Layers of marble steps wind and twist directly to the sky. As soon as you enter the mansion, you will feel like you are floating. This was originally Shanghai Road at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Since the Shanghai switch, Shanghai's economy has developed rapidly. Shanghai has become an oriental pearl that attracts the attention of the world. After the painstaking repair of corrupt officials over the ages, after nearly 30 years of operation, the Shanghai Taoist Mansion has long become one of the magnificent landmarks of Shanghai Beach.

Shanghai, facing the international gold wharf, controls the inland golden waterway of the Yangtze River Port, Beitong Pingliang, and most of the wealth of the whole Yangtze River Basin is gathered here... All of this constitutes an extremely huge network, and the central figure of this big "network" is to rush to the beach with bare hands and enter the same first. The League, later joined the Youth Gang, the first contributor to the Central Alliance, and now the hot Shanghai military governor Chen Qimei.

Chen Qimei is now sitting in front of Lie Cuixuan in the governor's garden to watch songs and dances. Sitting side by side with him, one is Tan Renfeng, who has just returned from the representative meeting in Nanjing, and the other is Huang Xing, who has just been demoted from Grand Marshal to Deputy Marshal.

After the end of the anti-yellow farce of the Shanghai military governor's mansion, the representatives of the provinces moved to Nanjing for a meeting, and reversed the original "resolution" and elected Li Yuanhong as the grand marshal. In Wuchang, Huang Xing was demoted from marshal to deputy marshal. Before the interim president decided, he took the place of the grand marshal.

Li Yuanhong was beaten into a light pole commander by Feng Guozhang, and Li Xiang left him alone and did a good job. The morale of the people in Hubei all looked forward to Li Xiang. Hubei has become the duel field between Beiyang and Li Xiang. He, who was completely frustrated, unexpectedly won the central position of the national regime at this time. Huang The situation of Zheng and Li Vice was reversed. Li Yuanhong was very happy to know this result.

But he is not stupid enough to leave his nest in Hubei and go to Nanjing to be the "Marshal". At this time, Li Yuanhong and Huang Xing competed for fame, and many of them also relied on their psychology. As for the candidate for the "great president" of the future Republic of China, in his mind, it is only Yuan Shikai. After his fake modesty, he accepted the name of the grand marshal and "entrusted" the deputy marshal Huang Xing to exercise power on his behalf in Nanjing, so that the honest man could clean up the mess in the south of the Yangtze River for him again.

Huang Xing was still not in office, while Tang Erhe and Wang Chonghui, the chief and deputy Speakers of the representative meeting, went to Shanghai due to illness and peace discussion respectively. The representative meeting also took Jing Yaoyue as the acting speaker and prepared an official letter. Huang Xing was invited to come to Nanjing as soon as possible to organize the interim government. Later, Li Xiehe, the representative of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang allied forces, went to Shanghai to welcome Huang Xing and go to Nanjing to organize the government. At this time, Huang Xing had learned that Sun Yat-sen had returned to China and was about to arrive in Shanghai, so he postponed his trip to Nanjing and waited for the return of Sun Yat-sen.

But in this matter, there are also a few party members and Huang Xing who have always been unrebellious. In the pub and teahouse, they patted the table and hit the bench, and shouted wildly for Huang Xingming: "How can the chief and deputy marshal be easily set up? It is obvious that they look down on my best friend and try to put myself in the place. A grand marshal was suddenly demoted. There is still a face to go to the organization. The government at the time?"

Huang Xing looked at the dance staged in the garden with relish. He seemed to have completely let go, with Chen Qimei's "flowers and wine", patiently waiting for the return of Sun Yat-sen.

"Ke Qiang has seen it," Chen Qimei smiled and turned to Huang Xing and said, "How's I doing here?"

"It's so beautiful!" Huang Xing looked at the lawn with great interest. Lingling Guanyin in Qunyufang, Wuma Road, Shanghai, was playing "Heavenly Girl Scattered Flowers". She danced with long sleeves, and the lotus steps moved gently, as graceful as a dragon. Huang Xing's honest man did not hesitate to give a pertinent evaluation.

At that time, Shanghai was the center of political activities in the south, and Chen Qimei was also at the center of the political whirlpool. He often travels "outside" and is romantic, known as the "Captain of Yangmei". Chen Qimei took advantage of Shanghai's land and water transportation, telecommunications, concessions (extraterrial jurisdiction) and other favorable conditions to use Shanghai as the base for activities. Chen Qimei is bold and good at organization. Among her colleagues, she is known for her "four victories", that is, quick words, quick ideas, quick means and quick actions. Qiu Chen Qimei and others went to Hankou to prepare the Mainland News, but everything was suspended due to the destruction of the Qing officials. Chen Qimei often haunted restaurants, teahouses, theaters, bathhouses and brothels in Shanghai. She made friends and thought it was an anti-Qing force. Therefore, he said that he had "many party members" and joined the Youth Gang and became the leader of the gang no less than Huang Jinrong. Song Jiaoren, Tan Renfeng, Yang Pusheng and other organizations of the Central Federation of the Alliance Association, it is precisely because he has a huge social foundation in Shanghai, is familiar with the situation, and is also a relative of Yang Pusheng, so he entrusted him as a concubine and presides over his daily work.

However, the old man Tan Renfeng next to him still hates Chen Qimei's flowery style. Listening to their questions and answers, he quickly said, "Although I came late, I saw the situation here in Yingshi yesterday. It really seems to be doing a big career. I'm afraid that Li Shuai in Hubei is also There may not be so many military and horse salaries!"

In these days, because of the battle between the marshal, Huang Xing's unbearable nicknames such as "four legs under Huang Xing's feet" and "Chang Defeated General" have been spread by passers-by. Huang Xing is very gray-faced and a little frustrated. He doesn't care about these at all when he opens his hands, but just waits for Sun Yat-sen to come back. At this time, Tan Renfeng, who came back from Hubei, talked about Li Madman again. He pretended to be still absent-minded and laughed with praise, "Beauty Vanilla, Vanilla Beauty, what a good situation! I'm not used to those flag-dressed aunts. They have a 'plant bottom', with straight breasts and bulging, and they don't have any charm. A great hero like Chen Yingshi should be equipped with such a beautiful woman. With that, he turned his face and asked, "Why didn't you see the top card of Qunyu Square?"

This is asking Yao Yecheng. Chen Qimei couldn't help frowning. Huang Xing's topic is getting farther and further away. Yao Yecheng is the top brand of Qunyufang and his woman outside. However, recently, he and his first horse, Jiang Guangtou, made a sensation in the Shanghai beach. Huang Xing has been dodging the conversation and actually went to this place.

Chen Qimei secretly thought that from Huang Xing's performance these days, he was too generous and aboveboard on the issue of revolutionary principles, and even the marshal was unwilling to fight. In fact, as long as Huang Xing is willing to fight, he will do everything he can to support it.

At the beginning, when the governor of Shanghai was elected at a meeting, everyone almost unanimously promoted Li Xiehe, and even Li Pingshu agreed. However, Chen Qimei used her youth gang to coax and make noise in the venue and oppose Li Xiehe. In order to take care of the overall situation, Li "to show humility", Chen Qimei was promoted as the governor (it is also said that Li Xiehe fell asleep because of fatigue. When he woke up, Chen Qimei was already the governor, and no member of the restoration meeting who elected the governor participated. ). As soon as the meeting was over, Anmin's notice appeared on the street, which was covered with the seal of the Shanghai military governor. It turned out that he had been ready long before the beginning. After that, Li Xie and Wusong were also known as the military and political governors. After a while, two military governments appeared in Shanghai after independence. One day, Li Xie and he went to Shanghai at Wusong Station. Chen Qimei sent someone to assassinate, but failed. He only killed Li's guard. Li was finally forced to leave Shanghai, and Chen finally enjoyed the victory of Shanghai's restoration.

Sometimes in order to achieve the purpose of revolution, we must do whatever we can to rely on people with political cleanliness like Huang Xing to work together?

Chen Qimei had to cough helplessly and smiled, "She is weak and sick, let her rest for a few days..." After saying that, she sighed and said, "Yao Yecheng and I have a lot of love, that is, to play on the scene and accompany guests. Unlike folklore, she is the 'sir' of Qunyufang. She is not my lady, and the matter of Zhongzheng, and it's just a scene... Zhongzheng and I were originally a revolutionary rush, going in and out of these fireworks places to fight with the dusty women! I didn't expect it to end up like this later!"

"You have to have a chance to play on the scene. It is said that you are the 'Dovernor of Yangmei' outside... Now there is time to save it, but it won't work no matter how late it is." Tan Renfeng couldn't even see the beautiful scenery and said worriedly. This time, when Hubei saw the strength of the Beiyang Army, he was a little muttered; he was full of confidence in the strength of the Southern Army, but now he is a little uncertain. At the same time, the group of revolutions with firm faith led by the arrogant Li Xiang had a great attraction to him and left a deep impression on him. It was not like what people said was a "milky" madman. After thinking about it, Tan Renfeng smiled and said, "Li wants to be helpless in Hubei and fight against the Beiyang army alone. He has also done a good job. If he wants to carry out the revolution to the end, he doesn't have to look at Yuan Shikai anyway."

After listening to the word "Li Xiang" again, Huang Xing was slightly stunned and said, "This person can be called a character. In addition to writing a few poems, he can also do a few times in the military. It is a piece of twisted sugar, which can't be provoked... The situation of the Beiyang Army in Hubei is really as embarrassed as Li wants to promote?"

Chen Qimei listened and couldn't help smiling and said, "It doesn't matter. Jingwei has gone south with the northern peace mission. Yuan Shikai doesn't care about Hubei and still continues the process of peace. The situation of the Beiyang army doesn't seem to be as serious as Li wants to boast... Everything depends on the result of the peace. Don't worry."

"Okay," Huang Xing grinned and said, "If China can make a peaceful republic, it will be a blessing for 40,000 people."

Although Tan Renfeng and Huang Xing have a good time, since she saw Li's energy to work hard for the revolution, she was very unaccustomed to some comments about peace. She smiled and said softly, "Brother Keqiang, you can't be careless, Yuan Shikai's generation of heroes, it's difficult for him to be our style! I'm afraid it will lead the wolf into the house..."

"Brother Shi really regards Huang Xing as a defeated general who was beaten down by the Beiyang Army!" Huang Xing looked at Tan Renfeng and suddenly smiled, "What if a president's term of office is only a few years, so what if he is allowed to give Yuan Shikai? What's more, Yuan Shikai is old, and he can still support it for a few years?

Chen Qimei looked at Huang Xing in surprise, and Tan Renfeng also stared at him in surprise. It turned out that Huang Xing still had such a long-term consideration, and he had to admit that there was a certain reason.

"Since Jingwei is in the Northern Conference and the League, he can explore the bottom line of the North Ocean." Chen Qimei really looked at Huang Xing with new eyes. This open and honest man, who would have expected that he would have such a move. Over the years, he has also raised some cities. Chen Qimei couldn't help bowing her body, held the gold glasses on the bridge of her nose, and teased, "I didn't expect Keqiang to tell the truth now!"

"It's true!" Huang Xing said coldly, "I have to be careful in the face of people like Yuan Shikai." After saying that, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

Tan Renfeng also smiled and said, "I know Yuan Shikai is a sinister and cunning person at both ends. In the year of Wuxu, didn't Kang and Liang be fiercely posed by him? It's not wrong for us to deal with him and be careful.

"Surely," Huang Xing smiled, pulled out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Tan Renfeng. He said, "Last night, I received a telegram from Jingwei saying something for Yuan Shikai. I drew up a call back. You and Yingshi have a look!"

At this time, Lingling Guanyin and others had stopped singing and dancing. She took the girl to squat down to Chen Qimei and others, and then went to the back.

Tan Renfeng is reading the letter with concentration.

Huang Xingfu called Wang Jingwei and asked him to urge Yuan Shikai to act in concert with the civilian army:

Thank you for your call. At this time, the civilian army had cleared more than ten provinces, and only two or three ears had been eliminated. Beijing is not determined as soon as possible, and I am afraid of attracting outsiders to interfere. Xiangcheng is talented and heroic, and has great expectations for the whole country. It can take into account the overall situation and the people's army as a consistent action. It quickly overthrows the Qing government. The national trend has been determined early, and outsiders will admit as soon as possible. There is no doubt that Xiangcheng is the leader of the Republic of China who is looked up to. But now the opportunity is urgent. Both China and abroad pay attention to the actions of the civilian army. If the provisional government is not established early, it may be difficult to maintain the status quo and plan to carry out. There are now provincial representatives who plan to take Xing as the leader and organize the interim government, which has not yet been allowed. In case of not getting the resignation, Xing has to be temporarily appointed as the temporary marshal of the Northern Expedition at the request of the representatives of all provinces. After the incident, he will resign immediately. He will ask Xiang Cheng to be the leader of the Republic of China and organize a complete government. This is not a word of one person, and the hearts of the whole country have this intention. However, Xiangcheng is easy to move quickly. It is easy to make China a complete Republic of China. It is not allowed for orphans and widows to hold a virtual position. In case it is delayed, I am afraid that the whole country will hate Xiangcheng. At that time, if the provisional government of the Republic of China has been consolidated, it will not be shaken by others. In a word, the people of the southeast hope that the heart of Xiangcheng is nothing more than to restore the complete land as soon as possible to avoid the unexpected interference of outsiders. If Xiangcheng is willing to follow the invitation of the people, the leader of the Republic of China will know that the people of the whole country will never have a selfish intention to fight against it. At this time, I hope for a quick success, and the Republic of China is very lucky. It is evidenced by the words that it is difficult to develop by yourself, and you don't have to achieve yourself. Shuofeng ice muscle, Fuwei is precious.

"There is no doubt that the leader of the Republic of China will definitely promote Xiangcheng." Tan Renfeng had finished reading the letter, handed it to Chen Qimei, and muttered, "In this way, there is no reason for Yuan Shikai to serve the Qing court again."

Chen Qimei said, "In Yuan Shikai's heart, I'm afraid that there has been no Qing court for a long time... Who doesn't know that he is the living Cao Cao of Zhangde."

"Another hero!" Tan Renfeng's face was still solemn, "Once he enters the White House, who can restrain him?" At this time, a person suddenly appeared in Tan Renfeng's mind. When he met Li Xiang for the first time in the Yellow Crane Tower, he pointed out the country and excited the spirit of the words.

Chen Qimei has finished reading it and handed it back to Huang Xing. She smiled and stood up to say to everyone, "This wind is getting cold. Let's go in and have tea and talk." Only then did several people find that they were still sitting on the steps of the play, which was a little strange, so they stood up together.

( Scene: It's not easy for pink newcomers. They want red tickets and collect them...)
