241 New Dawn

Liao Yuchun stood next to the cable stone pillar next to the dock, and the heavy snow fell on his head and got into his neck. The strong wind lifted the hem of the robe up, but he didn't see that he was afraid of the cold, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Xia Qingyi hurriedly ran over with a paper and a boat ticket, and only arched his hand and said, "Don't swim, it's done, get on the boat!" In Hankou, I can't stay for a quarter of an hour!" After saying that, he walked on the snow and boarded an American ship.

Li Xiang's triumph was very frightening them. At four o'clock in the afternoon, he immediately negotiated with Kong Wenchi and Jin Yunpeng to deal with the incident, and sent a unified letter from Feng Jun, which was full of irony. They should be in a hurry and must not be delayed. On that day, I will take the Merri ship and leave the place of right and wrong in Hankou as soon as possible!

Liao Yuchun didn't say much. He was shocked at every moment in Hankou. He also didn't want to stay much and hurriedly followed Xia Qing Yi to board the ship.

This American iron-clad ship slowly sailed out of the wharf of Hankou Siguan Hall in the heavy snow. A nose-nosed foreign sailor was covered with snow. He lifted the heavy cotton curtain into the cabin and said with a smile, "Ladies, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the passenger ship Black Pearl of American Flag Chang Steamship Company. It will be a wonderful journey... Oh, and congratulations on the independence of the Republic of China and the restoration of Hankou... Your Marshal Li, you are really handsome today!"

There are nine passengers in this cabin. In addition to Liao Yuchun and Xia Qing Yi, there is also a pair of old people with three children, and the other is a young student. The man's two eyebrows were very divided, and he looked careless. He was cross-legged and looked at the snow on the dock outside with interest from the cabin window. He was dressed quite thin, only a student dress often worn by international students in the East, and he did not wear a hat, revealing a bald head without braids. Opposite him was a woman who looked a little tired and pale, obviously injured. She wrapped in a blanket, hugged her knees, and looked out of the window, with infinite thoughts, which made people feel pity.

When the foreign crew talked about Marshal Li, her long eyelashes suddenly trembled slightly. Looking out of the window, the wind and snowy eyes flashed with a ripple, and instantly calmed down.

The young student saw it and pretended not to see it. He just smiled and said, "It's going to change the dynasty."

For such a strange saying by the Chinese, the foreign crew has long been used to it. He shrugged his shoulders and withdrew from the guest warehouse.

The tired woman did not agree. She was even a little angry. She stared at the student fiercely and said, "It's not to change the dynasty, but to overthrow the dictatorship and establish a republic!"

"No, Miss Tang, don't be angry. I'm wrong." The young student said with a hippie smile, "You are injured, you'd better take good care of it." Don't go to Shanghai. I didn't see your mother for the last time, but let your mother see you for the last time.

Miss Tang was silent, and her eyes were so complicated and difficult to understand. She was angry, but she didn't attack. She is the person who doesn't want to leave Hankou, but her mother is not in good health and is seriously ill at Shanghai Union Hospital. She has to go to Shanghai, which may be the last time for their mother and daughter. It's just that time is too coincidental. Li wanted to enter Hankou, but he couldn't see him. There was always a trace of loss and concern in his heart.

However, the people in the boat all call themselves the Republic of China. Speaking of Li Xiang, he also shouted General Li. Tang Yuewan will touch his heartstrings because of this.

Tang Hualong sent this guy to pick up Tang Yuewan and began to run the train again. It's only two hundred and twenty-hundreds of Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty has been more than two hundred years... It's only two and a half years... Talking about "the number of breath is exhausted". These mysterious and unpredictable things really can't be seen that he, a person dressed as an international student, can make such nonsense. Although Tang Yuewan pretended not to be able to see at all, the people in the boat listened with relish.

For the crown that the little emperor of Xuantong was about to fall, the young students ran out of these words, and the people on the boat did not regret at all. Even the old woman beside the old man full of Amitabha Buddha sighed with an ambiguous attitude at most: "The emperor will send it away from now on!"

This farmer's sigh, used in the years to come, has almost the same a provephic effect. Admittedly, the peasants after 1911 will still hope for a good emperor, but the 'emperor's country' is indeed destroyed forever.

Xia Qing Yi listened to what was said in the boat. Seeing that Liao Yuchun locked his eyebrows and didn't say anything, he laughed softly and said, "What's the problem? Manting's abdication is an irreparable fact... Have you forgotten the purpose of our going south?"

Liao Yuchun turned his face and looked at the three children sitting beside him. He was happy because he had cut off his braids. With the spread of this cursed statement, the legitimacy of the Manchu authorities has also been lost imperceptibly. There will be an inexplicable change-seeking restlessness in the whole society, and the prestige of those traditional "imperial power, official power, gentry power" has also fallen again and again in the minds of the grass people. Once this day really comes, the dynasty will instantly It collapsed like destruction... Liao Yuchun looked gloomy and smiled bitterly. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, which was the most common Pegasus cigarette of Nanyang Tobacco Company on Hankou Street. He pulled out two, gently pushed them in front of Xia Qingyi and said, "Don't swim, let's go to the deck and see the scenery of sailing..." < /P>

"Why? At this time, you are still so elegant. Liao Yuchun asked in surprise, and then admired his quietness.

Xia Qing Yi sighed and said with a forced smile, "It's not elegant, I just want to see how the folk customs along the Yangtze River have changed. I only heard the people's words in the ship, and they all call themselves the Republic of China..."

After a little hesitation, Liao Yuchun came to his senses, took the cigarette and said, "It's good to go up and have a look. I'm afraid that what I saw is no different from what I saw in Hankou.

The snow melted when it fell on the ship's deck, leaving only a water stain. The two stood in the stern of the boat and smoked silently. When the snow falls to the Yangtze River, it becomes invisible.

On both sides of the Yangtze River in the boat, there are north and south sentries, dozens of martial arts apart, a group of ladles, far away from each other.

At the foot of the mountain on the north bank, there are six camps: one large camp and five small camps. A ditch more than ten feet deep and three or four feet wide was dug around the camp, which filled the net lake five miles away from the half of the mountain. Ten forts are erected in the ditch, and then surrounded by wooden fences. Rows of bamboo sticks and wooden stakes are five feet wide outside the ditch. On the top of the mountain, a watchtower was set up. The wind and snow are so strong that soldiers are still alert to it. The signal flags on the mountain can be clearly seen in the opposite of Kishitianjia Town and the downstream Fuchi Town. On the river, there were more than 300 warships gathered to patrol the north and south sides and stand ready. The north bank is also connected to the camp, and the forts are connected.

Even if the Beiyang army has retreated, the revolutionary army has entered Hankou peacefully. Li Xiang still set up a big battlefield, looking murderous and ready for a fierce battle at any time. Maybe it is to prevent the Beiyang army from returning. Maybe you are going to fight with the foreigners in Hankou? Whatever it is, Li Xiang, after such a brilliant victory, in such bad weather, a tired army that has experienced a series of fierce battles can still make such perfect preparations. It can only be said that this commander is not simple, and the soldier is not simple.

However, the more powerful Li Xiang performs, the heavier their mood is...

The 27th. I crossed Jiujiang at four o'clock in the afternoon, passed through Anqing at five o'clock in the afternoon, reached Datong at 8:00 a.m., and arrived at Wuhu at one o'clock at night.

Along the way, many passengers came up one after another, and also brought a lot of news from all over the country.

At dusk, the boating is tiring for a day, and the passengers have a good morning rest after the overnight meal.

Tang Yuewan looked at the river outside the cabin, which was shrouded in night. The snowflakes fell and immediately melted into the water. She was calm and did not stir up a wave, but her heart was not calm. When the wind and snow stopped a little during the day, she also stood in the bow of the boat and came out to breathe. However, I can't help thinking about the first meeting with Li Xiang in the 32nd year of Guangxu in Hankou. That memory was sealed for too long, and it was not until today that I suddenly remembered it.

A very vulgar and special hero saved the beauty. Zhao Youcheng played a hooligan on the street, and Li Xiang actually appeared and gave this little overlord a deaf ear. At that time, Li Xiang was extremely depressed. His suit was as shabby as a beggar in the concession. His momentum was extraordinary, but he just started a war of booing and drooling with Zhao Youcheng. Even the self he was rescued by him immediately changed from worship to contempt. But later, Li Xiang was rushed over by several chiefs and housekeepers of Zhao's family and surrounded him. Standing aside, she was stunned. Li wanted to deal with these people. Obviously, her fists were difficult to match the four hands. Finally, she hesitated and gritted her teeth and came to help the fist. Li wanted to see it, was anxious, and shouted at them, "Why don't you go?" At that moment, she was moved.

And the second meeting in front of the stinky tofu stall at the Siguan Hall Pier. She has seen a man staring at her and drooling a lot, but she has never seen a man just staring at a bag of stinky tofu in her hand. After eating stinky tofu, you also need to eat pancakes, and add two eggs to the pancakes...

She is not allowed to think too much during the day. Now, everything is silent and the hustle and bustle has rested. The scene of being with Li Xiang comes to mind one by one. Li Xiang's mouth was full of inexplicable strange words, and every sentence sounded in his ears. She put her hand on her forehead and stroked it gently, as if she had touched the scar on Li Xiang's forehead, as if she had fallen in love and bathed in Li Xiang's tender embrace.

"Miss, are you thinking about your hero again?"

Tang Yuewan was shocked and his memory was interrupted. Looking back, the young student stood behind him with a smile.

"If you don't sleep, why are you wandering around here?"

He sat down opposite Tang Yuewan, made her a cup of Longjing tea, handed over his hands, and said, "I've been enjoying it with you for a long time, but you don't know it at all. It's just a short parting, and you don't need to be so reluctant..."

Tang Yuewan felt sad for a while, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. He only whispered, "I'm afraid we may not be able to get together again..."

She clearly knew that her father and Li Xiang were not from the same world. When she arrived in Shanghai, she was afraid that she would be involuntarily in the future.

For a moment, the cabin became silent, and the rustling sound of snow falling on the cabin board was clearly heard. In surprise, the young student had calmed down, flashed his eyes and meditated for a long time. Suddenly, he changed this dull topic and asked, "Do you know what interesting things I heard on the boat?"

"I want to rest!" Tang Yuewan wrapped the blanket tightly and closed his eyes.

The young student listened, turned his eyes, and suddenly smiled. He bent down and said to Tang Yuewan, "There is a Caomin surnamed Li in Yuyang. He has been farming for generations and can't read. Because of excessive drinking, he has become a wine nose, and he is nicknamed Li Chibi. Li Chi's nose is greedy. When he is drunk, he likes to scold officials most. He scolds a lot. Once he was caught by the government. After being slapped a few mouths, he asked him: Why do you want to scold officials? Do they have a grudge against you? Li said: I heard people say that 'officials are greedy', so I hate it. Soon after, the Wuchang Uprising broke out, and the provinces responded one after another. Li Chibi said to his father: Why didn't our family revolt? His father said: What a stupid son! We are countrymen, farming is our job. You have to get up and be careful of different places. Li Chibi was furious and scolded: Coward! Coward! Then he went to a scholar and asked how to write the word revolution, and the scholar wrote these two words to him. Li Chibi tore a white cloth, pasted the word revolution, took a bamboo pole and picked it out of the door. He stood below majestically. Someone passed by the door of his house and pulled the guest and said: Our family has risen! People passing by all laughed a lot. After hearing this, a man sighed: What a pity! The red nose only recognizes the word 'revolution'. If he reads a book, won't he be a revolutionary great man who is rampant all over the world?

Tang Yuewan suddenly opened his beautiful eyes and stared at him angrily: "Are you laughing at him?"

He suddenly had a bad cold, and the beauty who harmed the country and the people also had a barbaric nature. It was really terrible! He smiled dryly and said, "I dare not... In fact, in the dark, I finally saw a new dawn of the Chinese revolution in Li Shuai."
