263 will rise

The wind and snow are mixed, and the roaring north wind is mixed with the sound of a series of heavily armed troops moving around, as well as the long hiss of horses assigned to the cavalry. It is really on the alert of the whole city, which makes people realize that Hankou is still on wartime alert.

Looking up, the bright red five-star red flag can be seen everywhere in Hankou City, that is, the flag of the Hankou Revolutionary Army, but it is dancing with the flying snowflakes, and the chariot and horse army is on guard on the wind and snowy Hankou Street.

The wind and snow gradually stop, the sunset in the west is like fire, and the sunset is about to sink in the west. The remnants of the sun in the west are very close to the horizon, like a pole of sunshine.

Taking advantage of the sunset and overlooking the three towns of Wuhan, I can only see a vast and cold scene outside the city. The old trees are dead branches, and the mountains are stacked. The line is repeated, and the twilight is dark, and only the flat sand and grass nearby is still recognizable.

Li Xiang is in the Yanyu building, from staring at the gradually slanting night sky outside, to allowing the indoor charcoal to sinter and gather like flowers, as well as the spring water of purple sand teapots that are constantly rolling, and the fragrance of tea leaves scattered in the tea. It is all Li Xiang's long night, immersed in the love of missing, and falling into the love that it is difficult to fall asleep all night.

The person in front of him is the one who misses him, but not the one he misses. The separation does not fade with time, but becomes profound. The various expressions and movements of Meidi when cooking tea always make Li Xiang have an illusion, like seeing Tang Yuewan at the beginning. The feeling of separation is getting more and more bitter.

Under the dim yellow and ambiguous light, Li wants to sit opposite Meidi. The light jade man's plain military uniform poured a cup for Li Xiang, and also poured a cup for herself. She held the cup and tasted it lightly, and became extremely seductive in Li Xiang's eyes.

Li Xiang sighed lightly. She didn't apply powder and dressed up to be heroic. Li thought about using the beauty in front of her to extinguish the lovesickness, but it attracted desire and burned her body. From the autumn waves, he finally forgot the lovesickness. However, this can only add to the trouble of wanting to suffocate and can't sleep tonight. It can really be said that "watering sorrow with wine is even more sorrow".

Fortunately, I'm sitting! Li wanted to pick up the teacup and taste it from his face. He put down his knees and said, "I haven't been in such a leisurely mood for a long time. Alas, it's time for Hankou to celebrate the New Year safely. However, if China wants to have a safe New Year, it will be difficult... Let's talk about Jiujiang, which is the place where Ma Dudu Yubao is stationed, and Anqing is the governor of Sanyi. Imagine that the governors of all places can feel at ease and have a little awareness of the revolutionaries, and organize the coalition army to go to the north. Which of Yuan Shikai's army can't resist this torrent, and which round will get Beiyang intervention in the revolution? I didn't expect that the Confederate Army was so happy to fight in the nest. Lament his misfortune and anger! There is nothing more than that."

"I'm sorry for his misfortune, and I'm angry..." Meadows shook his head and said happily, "The general's words hit the nail on the head and are extremely incisive! This is indeed the true portrayal of some righteous Southern Army... Sun Dudu Yuyun, near Li Zong prison with Datong branch office, because of military pay, big life conflict, soldiers and bandits took the opportunity to collude and plunder everywhere, because of the market is depressed, the scene is very miserable... Sun and Li should not use small grievances, defeat justice with private hatred, they can be said to be ignorant of the general. However, it is not straightforward to explore public opinion.

Medie is in charge of the important functions of the marshal's office. She has read the information collected by the military and the central army, and she knows the dynamics of the Confederate Army and the Northern Army.

Li Xiangruo nodded thoughtfully and muttered, "You can't count on them, but if you want to fight against Beiyang at this stage, you must unite all the forces that can be united. It's too late for the expansion of the Hubei Revolutionary Army. At least the combat effectiveness can't be guaranteed, and military materials and firearms can't be supplied. At present, I can only go to Shenjiang..."

Medi stared up his round eyes and said cunninglyly, "At this time when the sound of the Northern Expedition is high, Shanghai has formed a Northern Expedition Federation and is preparing for the Northern Expedition. You may not need to go to this trip to Shenjiang... I can't see your young lady."

"What?" Li thought couldn't help but be surprised that the trajectory of history was changed by his efforts?

Medi hummed gently from his nose, glanced at him, and glanced at him. Seeing that he was worried about gains and losses, he couldn't help saying, "The Northern Expedition Jointly elected Cheng Dequan as the president, Zhang Jiashi as the vice president, and Zhu Yun as the commander. And call the provincial governors to inform the establishment of the association, and please telegram the division of the Northern Expedition of each province in order to unify the military system. At the same time, provincial leaders, provincial parliaments, social organizations, and overseas Chinese have also made telegrams to oppose the peace and demand the Northern Expedition. In the southern provinces, the first to put the Northern Expedition into action was the Guangdong Northern Expeditionary Army, which was commanded by Yao Yuping. The army had about 1,500 people. However, other provinces are independent, with loud thunder and small raindrops!"

After listening to it, Li Xiang's face turned into an expression. Maybe this was the misfortune and anger.

Li Xiang said: "Although the soldiers and civilians in the southern provinces have a strong desire for the Northern Expedition, it seems that due to the ongoing peace talks between the north and the south, the southern provinces have established the policy of Yuan Shikai as president and use Yuan's strength to overthrow the Qing court anyway! The decision-makers in the south still lack the ideological preparation to adhere to the long and arduous armed struggle and the determination to carry out the Northern Expedition! Now that the provisional government has not yet been established, Huang Xing is unwilling to take the lead. At this time, the northern expedition can only be done by the provinces themselves. No, it is impossible to form a unified and planned action! In fact, the Nanjing Provisional Government has advantages in the objective situation and military strength it has. There are 17 towns in the provinces and towns concentrated in Jiangsu to prepare for the Northern Expedition. The heroic division of the revolutionary army I fought desperately in Hubei is also close to 100,000. Although it is a civilian regiment and the troops stationed in independent provinces, the total number of officers and soldiers of the Republican Army is no lower than 30,000 to 400,000. Although most of them are newly recruited and have no military training, most of them are led by revolutionaries and morale is strong. At that time, the total number of reactionary troops owned by Yuan Shikai was less than 100,000, distributed in Jinghan Road and vast areas such as Qin, Jin, Zhi and Lu. The morale was depressed and its combat effectiveness had declined compared with the previous. Therefore, in the face of Yuan Shikai's military blackmail supported by Chinese and foreign reactionaries, if the South is determined to fight back, it will start the Northern Expedition. There is no reason for failure... I'll go to Shenjiang this time to see if I can twist this strength into a group..."

As he said, he gently tapped his knee and thought about it. Seeing this, Meidi squeezed his lips and smiled, "General, it's hard to be idle for a while, and I'm thinking about business, and the iron man also needs to rest. Going to Shenjiang can't be done until the Hankou incident subsides. Even if you miss Miss Tang, you can't be anxious. If you are in a hurry, you can't hurry. It's useless to think too much now. The general should relax. When the British negotiating committee arrives, let's solve the concession problem in Hankou first.

That little selfishness was broken by him. Li wanted to laugh and said, "Yes, yes, I also want to have a headache. I don't want to have a child's affair..."

"Hard-mouthed!" Mei Di smiled shallowly, held a cup and sang, "Huma hisss in the wind, the Han flag turns over the snow, Tongyun spits again, and a pole of residual light.

Ancient trees are connected to the sky, and there are countless chaotic mountains.

The starry hall, sleepless at night, and the lights are empty.

Fog and fragrant duck, ice and tear candle, frost is hard to know.

It's time to make up for a long time.

A cup is not enough, how much is it?

Drunken autumn waves and the rain in dreams are all troubles when you wake up.

It is expected that there is a relationship. I can't bear to think about it and say it in my ear.

When he came back from time to time, he recognized the door and smiled softly.

Li Xiang laughed and said, "Whenever the horse comes back, er... When the horse comes back... Come, you and I drink together."

Tea can also be intoxicating! The cup is not enough, how much is it? Drunk autumn waves and the rain in my dreams are all troubles when I wake up.

Touch the jade cup gently, and put two cups of tea into the stomach.

Li Xiang still couldn't help asking, "With the rapid development of China's patriotic and anti-imperialist movement, do the foreign devils have any countermeasures?"

"You don't want to relax for a night?" Mei Di Guaner looked at Li Xiang's serious eyes and had to sigh gently and say what he knew: "The rapid development of China's patriotic anti-imperialist movement shocked imperialism, especially British and Japanese imperialism. They put pressure on the Beiyang Yuan Shikai cabinet and the Nanjing Provisional Government for a severe ban.

"Old Yuan will definitely be obedient." Li wanted to smile contemptuously.

Medi nodded with a gloomy face and said, "Yuan Shikai's cabinet in Beiyang has ordered that students be banned from giving lectures in the Beiyang-ruled area, all schools will resume classes, and newspapers are not allowed to publish news about students' patriotic activities. More than 200 students in Beijing organized a lecture team to carry out large-scale patriotic propaganda. Beiyang Yuan Shikai's cabinet dispatched a large number of military police and horse teams to disperse the audience and arrest 178 students.

In the face of the anti-imperialist anger of the Chinese people, the imperialists shouted that they should "take the toughest means to extinguish the current movement in the shortest time."

The imperialist diplomatic mission in Beijing held a meeting to discuss countermeasures. Britain and Japan publicly said: "Sent troops to calm down." Then they discussed mobilising 26 warships, marines, armored convoys, cavalry patrols, and armed patrols to enter Shanghai and Hong Kong to suppress the anti-imperialist movements in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Britain alone urgently dispatched 12,000 "Chinese expeditions" from its own country and India to Shanghai. At the same time, Britain also sent a note to the Japanese government and the U.S. government to jointly send troops to defend the Shanghai Concession.

Li Xiang's high-five said, "They have shown timidity!"

"What do you say?" Medy asked curiously. How did the great powers intervene? How did it become timid? The British Foreign Minister made a speech everywhere, with a very tough attitude!"

With that, Medy found a copy from a pile of newspapers and handed it to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang took a look. The speech of the British Foreign Minister is as follows:

British husbands have been living and working in peace and contentment in the Hankou Concession for a long time. This occupation of the concession is actually a riot and improper attack. And after Hankou, Shanghai is ready to move. It can be seen that during the current revolution, British people live in various places belonging to the national government, and there is no guarantee of life safety. If something else happens, I'm afraid it will lead to bloodshed. It also shows that the strength of the British army in China is weak enough to protect the British expatriates. Today, the National Army will enter Shanghai, where there are many British and overseas Chinese. And the property of British businessmen who have been operating for a long time is also quite unfunded. There are similar dangerous things, and the impact is quite huge. And in Hankou and Jiujiang, there are fewer British people. In times of crisis, they can retreat to Shanghai. If in Shanghai, the British and overseas Chinese are like this, although they want to retreat quickly, they can't. Yu Fei said that there was going to be murder and bloodshed in Shanghai, and Yu Gu hoped that there would be no such thing. However, after the Han case, if the government let nature take its course and do not plan to protect the overseas Chinese in Shanghai, they can't resign from their duties. For this reason, we must send troops to prevent danger. And the army must have sufficient strength and be able to cope with it. For the purpose of prevention, the government has decided to send troops to Shanghai.

Li wanted to put down the newspaper and looked up to see that Medy's beautiful and charming eyes were staring at him wholeheartedly. With a beautiful question on his face, he smiled gently and said, "The great powers think that the situation in Hankou must not be expanded to Shanghai!" Britain urgently dispatched 12,000 "China Expeditionary Force" from its own country and India to Shanghai in order to realize its strategy of giving up Hankou and sticking to Shanghai. At the same time, Britain also sent a note to the Japanese government and the U.S. government to jointly send troops to defend the Shanghai Concession, exposing the true face of insisting on military intimidation. Next, there will be no more suspense in Hankou's negotiations!"

What Medie said was reasonable and well-founded. The current situation was suddenly enlightened. She couldn't help looking up and smiling at him, and then held the cup and lips.

The night wind blew, and a few wisps of green silk gently brushed her jade-like cheeks, and her lips were drunk. The warm and white earlobes like hook jade were exposed on the side of her face, and the scenery was infinite for a while.
