7 to resist hard

Sun Yat-sen replied, "Yuan Shikai was furious in Beijing, and the generals of the Beiyang army asked to attack Nanjing one after another. Yan Xishan, the governor of Shanxi Province, flew a letter and asked for help. In succession, his wife was lost, Taiyuan was lost, and several police telegrams came in an endless stream. The people's army in Tongguan, Shaanxi Province, was frustrated and finally won. Although it was lucky to repel the Qing army, it was still dangerous. It also repeatedly sent urgent messages. There was uneasy news in the area of Anhui and Xu... I also discussed with some party comrades today. They think they should call back to Yuan Shikai and sincerely explain that it is completely temporary to become the interim president. There is absolutely no intention to deceive Yuan Shikai. The position of president is definitely waiting for Yuan Shikai..."

Miss Song came in with two plates of spicy and fragrant Hunan cuisine and said, "But sir, I think that the newly established government of the Republic of China cannot show weakness. At the same time, we should also fight hard and go south to the north."

"In any case, the Northern Expedition is unremitting." Sun Yat-sen still said this sentence.

"That's right." What Li wanted was this sentence. He ate two mouthfuls of Cantonese cuisine prepared by Miss Song, which was really not a taste. He put down his chopsticks and asked, "Since you have decided to go to the north, do you have a plan?"

Sun Yat-sen's military adviser, Lord Yang, Homer Li, said in a blunt Chinese language: "I discussed with the way to march with the president: send the Hubei and Hunan people's army to the first army and march towards the Beijing-Han Railway; the Ning and Anhui people's army as the second army, marching to Henan, and the first army dating between Kaifeng and Zhengzhou; the Huaiyang people's army as the third army, smoke The Taiwan People's Army is the fourth army, advancing to Shandong and dating Jinan; the Qinhuangdao Heguan people's army is the fifth army, and the Shan and Shaanxi People's Army is the sixth army, moving towards Beijing. If the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Armies go smoothly, they will join the 5th and 6th Armies together.

Hu Hanmin also put down half of the chicken leg and said, "The First Army of Beiyang retreated to Xinyang. Hubei has become a solid state. In addition, Lin Tiechang led the Hubei army to aid Qin, and Liu Jing led the Hubei army to attack Yu. In the revolutionary army of each province, Shen Bingkun led the Xiang and Gui allied forces, Ma Yubao moved the Jiangxi army in Jiujiang, Nanjing sent the Yunnan army of Li genius, the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhengya Guangfu Jing and Xiang, and Chongqing and Sichuan also recovered. In Nanjing, Bai Wenwei led the Yunnan and Guangdong troops to Linhuai and took the road from Xu to Anhui. The Xu branch of Yangzhou and the Anhui army stationed Suqian, and the road from Beijing to Pu. There are also military guards in Zhengyang, Liuhe and other places to prevent the road from Henan to Anhui. It is concentrated in Nanjing City, including the Zhejiang Army, the Shanghai Army, the Restoration Army, the Iron-blooded Army, the Garrison Army, as well as the inherent army and the newly compiled armies, with a total of more than 100,000 people. In Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang Shangyue continued to send troops, and the military strength is not too thick. In addition, Chang'an and Taiyuan have long been restored, Yantai has Liu Jiyan independent, Henan has Wang Tianzong's troops, and Zhili has one of the Luanzhou mutiny. Since Niuzhuang's troubles in the eastern province, the members of the Guanwai Alliance have made great plans. The Nanjing government resolutely attacked, and the most elite Hubei armies came out of the Wusheng Pass, and went straight to Henan and Shanshan Rebels. Nanjing gathered all the armies to allocate the former enemies. They attacked Xuzhou in three ways, and divided into one to fight with the Hubei army. One from Jingpu to Jinan and joined with the Qi and Luyi armies. Yuan Shikai will be a group of soldiers in the north to respond. The turtle in the middle, how can you win!"

"Can you really win?" Li wanted to interrupt with a suspicious face. He knows the domestic situation better than them. He heard Sun Yat-sen say so unrealistically before. He just thought he was bold and didn't pay attention to it. Now it seems that they are really ready to put it into practice.

"Do you have any questions about Li Shuai?" Blue Sky asked with great interest.

Huang Xing also said, "If you have any suggestions, you might as well say it directly. It's a matter of discussion with a big guy. We have been overseas for a long time, and we don't know as much about the domestic situation as you. We just need your opinion.

"There is no problem with the plan for the Northern Expedition, but it's just untimely." Li wanted to hold the tea bowl in his hand and speak slowly. Speaking softly is very different from the sharp and aggressive momentum in Shanghai. His appearance is like a beautiful willow. Roughly, he doesn't look like a famous soldier, but more like an elegant scribe. Bring me the map!"

"Let's finish the meal first." Miss Song said.

Hu Hanmin looked at the half of the chicken leg he ate and said, "I don't think the big guy is in the mood to eat it. He is old. Let someone put it away."

Miss Song looked at Sun Yat-sen. Seeing that he also nodded, she immediately ordered people to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and took out a national map from Sun Yat-sen's study.

Li wants to look at the map spread out. Although the soldiers present here are compared with each other at the tactical level, he has a vision that has surpassed everyone here for a hundred years at the strategic level. In any sentence, it is a high-end, far beyond the fear of predecessors, which is the greatest advantage of the traveler.

Li Xiang said: "The current situation is that the armies of all provinces are in the hands of local authorities, such as Tan Yanyu in Hunan, Sun Daoren in Fujian, Lu Rongting in Guangxi, Shen Bingkun and other local authorities with troops. Although they passionately called the Nanjing government, they expressed their firm opposition to the continuation of the armistice and insisted on the immediate Northern Expedition.

"Is this just an illusion?" Lan Tianwei saw that Li Xiang had something to say, so he asked. After coming to the south from outside the customs, he read the publications and newspapers of both constitutionalists and revolutionary factions. He felt that the provisional government was also in a politically advantageous position. Military and civilians from all over the south issued electricity one after another, demanding the cancellation of the peace agreement and the expedition to the Northern Expedition. Some said, "Today, the Republic of China has been established, and there is a president. The princes have made a big plan and went straight to the thief's nest." The Northern Expedition, even if the blood of our generation is stained into the map of the Republic of China, we will not hesitate. Some said, "The peace treaty has been broken, and it has fallen into the tricks of Yuan thieves. We have united with five towns and are ready to go to the enemy. How to carry out a strategy and reply quickly to avoid mistakes again and again. Some people said, "The northern army is weak and difficult to dispatch. Our army is full of vitality, and we must not fall into its procrastination. Our military and political branch is now on a whole team for the northward expedition, Qinghuaidian on the one hand, to solidify the gateway of the Yangtze River, and then work with the civilian armies to the north. Please be sure to worship and love the most, hold your determination, and work hard. Don't let the nine achievements stop in one basket. It's the most prayer. The national opposition to peace and the demand for the Northern Expedition are extremely high.

Li Xiang sneered: "After the two governors of Hunan Jiao and Chen were killed, Tan Yanqi was appointed as the governor, and the constitutionalist sent people to hold power in Hunan. Chen Binsheng, the leader of the West Road of Changde Patrol Camp, killed Yang Ren, a West Road recruiter and a member of the League sent by Jiao Dafeng. He cut his abdomen and sacrificed Huang Zhonghao, causing the restoration tragedy! Sun Daoren of Fujian first hesitated, and then saw the drastic changes in the situation inside and outside the province before he expressed his support for the revolution. Guangxi also has a new bottle of old wine. Wang Zhixiang drove away Shen Bingkun and wanted to act as the governor. Unexpectedly, when the Council Reform of the governor, Lu Rongting was elected as the governor. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Zhixiang left Guangxi and came to Nanjing on the pretext of going to assist Hubei..."

Li Xiang's big news shocked them. In war, first of all, you should know yourself and your enemy, and you can't make them confused.

"In fact, they aim to bluff, replace actions with empty talk, and gain revolutionary capital, and add all the responsibility for the negotiation and timidity and the resulting surrender of Yuan Shikai to the Nanjing Provisional Government. Think about it, although the Nanjing Provisional Government has the name of the central government, it does not have the fact of the central government. Can it go smoothly if you can't order the provinces politically, militarily and financially and rely on them to go north? In the end, it will only turn the Northern Expedition plan into a piece of paper.

"Is it only Yuan Shikai's ambition? With the progress of the North-South peace, will the Northern Expedition of the revolutionary army fail?" Sun Yat-sen sighed.

Li Xiang sighed secretly. With this sentence, he knew that Sun Yat-sen did not have the ambition to dominate the world. Perhaps he did not have the ambition of the emperor to dominate. Otherwise, this sentence should be "How can we beat the Northern Army?" Perhaps, it was Sun Yat-sen's noble conduct that he was not greedy for power that made Li want to admire. He said with a little solemnity, "In fact, the Confederate Army is not without the power to fight. Moreover, the Northern Army also has all the defects of the Southern Army. The Northern Army is not all Yuan Shikai's party members. The Qing Dynasty Zongshe especially opposes Yuan Shikai, and the children of Liangbi and other clans have a high influence in the full court.

At the same time, everyone was stunned and marveled at the meticulous and extensive information of Li Xiang.

Sun Yat-sen's spirit was refreshed and said, "Is there any falsehood?"

"There is absolutely no hypothet." Li wanted to smile faintly and said, "The first step of the Northern Expedition is to have the Nanjing Provisional Government with the name of the central government and the fact of the central government. As for how to do it, the tutor can take advantage of the situation to learn from Yuan Shikai's "small station" ex-conscription, eliminate the 300,000 Northern Expeditionary troops in Nanjing, retain the weak and retain the strong, and refine 100,000 elite soldiers as his own political and smelting capital. With these 100,000 elite soldiers sitting in the center, the Nanjing Provisional Government is no longer a nominal decoration!"

The half sentence that Li wants to leave is that even if the Northern Expedition fails, the upper part can compete with the Yuan family for half of the river and mountains. The lower can be synchronized with Yan Xishan, Tang Jiyao and Lu Rongting, and seal the territory, and become a vassal town of the Republic of China and a provincial warlord. Who says it is not? And in Hubei, he should not keep such a way for the Northern Expedition not to become a warlord of the Republic of China.

"Li Shuai, I have a question. I want you to tell me the truth." Huang Xing said to Li seriously. His name is Xi Dongpo, Wenzong Han Liu, and he is familiar with the book of sages. He is a great revolutionary. He is also a gentleman. Naturally, he has something to do. Li wants to divide the division and wait for you. The idea is already obvious.

"What question is worthy of your seriousness?" Li Xiang looked at Huang Xing, a fellow villager from Hunan, and said, "As long as you put it forward, I will tell you the truth."

"You have been willing to fight the main battle and don't want to make peace. Is there any other reason besides your distrust of Yuan Shikai?" Huang Xing stood up and asked calmly. His expression was completely a serious attitude to discuss where China would go.

Sun Yat-sen, Hu Hanmin and others are also eagerly waiting for Li Xiang's answer. Lixiang opened his mouth wide and couldn't say anything. It was hard to say. What do you say? Is this what he saw in the history textbook a hundred years later?

Li Xiang was also a person with quick wisdom. He immediately extracted a very clear and public language to answer Huang Xing's question: "Yuan Shikai's hands were covered with the revolutionaries and dropped blood. After Wuchang's righteousness, the revolutionary comrades in the north were ready to launch a military operation in Beijing. Due to the dredging of Yang Du and Wang Zhaoming, it is said that Yuan Shikai I have promised to respond. The plan was for the revolutionary party to fire guns in Beijing on the evening of the ninth lunar month, and attack Zhengyangmen, Chongwenmen and Xuanwumen. Yuan ordered the fourth standard of the imperial guard to attack Xihuamen from the south of Xizhimen, and ordered his eldest son Yuan Keding to lead 3,000 troops to attack Donghuamen in response to the revolutionary party. On the evening of the 9th, the revolutionaries launched Zhengyangmen, Chongwenmen and Xuanwumen according to the plan, and each went all the way to attack Tiananmen, Donghuamen and Xihuamen. At this time, he saw a military horse coming to greet him. The revolutionary comrades thought it was Yuan Keding who came to meet him. Unexpectedly, he was a military police spy. He surrounded him on all sides and arrested more than a dozen people, including Comrade Li Hanjie. This first act failed. Can I trust such a person? Do you think he can still sleep when he is the president? I died because I saw through Yuan Shikai's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidney, and there was no other reason!"

Li Xiang's reason made the soldiers present nod together.

"I don't agree with the Northern Expedition. I don't believe in Yuan Shikai. The main reason is that I'm afraid of the chaos in China after the war between the Northern Expedition and Yuan Shikai, which will lead to division." Huang Xing also expounded his point of view, "Today, with the revolutionary army, all provinces have become independent. Li Shuai also just said that if the provinces are independent, there will be internal disputes. The provisional government is established, but the localities are still separate, and the central government has become nominal. The governors of the provinces have not handed over the taxes to the provisional government under various pretexts. Even foreigners can see this clearly. The customs controlled by the imperialist powers also refuse to transfer the "Yu" to the provisional government, and the finances of the Nanjing government will be controlled by major countries. When there is a war between the north and the south, China will definitely be divided, and it is inevitable that there will be a partition. In modern times, the weak countries have been swallowed up countless times. For example, Ryukyu was destroyed by Japan, Annan, Tunisia and Madagascar were destroyed by France, Myanmar and Persia were destroyed by Britain, Bashan and Turkish were destroyed by Russia, and Cuba, Honolulu and Luzon Minor were destroyed by the United States. These are all things that have happened in recent decades. If everything is combined, it will be big, if it is divided into small, if it is combined, it will be strong, and if divided, it will be weak. If China is divided, it will change from a big country to a small country. If it is not strong in the first place, it will be weaker. It will soon be swallowed up by foreign powers, and our Chinese nation will no longer exist.

The words narrated by Huang Xing made the room full of people fall into meditation.

Sun Yat-sen nodded and said, "Ke Qiang's concern is not unfounded. Since ancient times, the law of the jungle has been swallowed by whales, which is reasonable. In my opinion, China wants both revolution and cannot be divided.

Hu Hanmin also said, "I completely agree with you. This is the only way China has to take: to revolutionize the Republic without causing civil strife."

Bullshit! No violence, no bloodshed, what kind of life? Li wanted to sneer and stood up and said, "Since you asked for peace, why do you want to come to me to discuss?"

Miss Song withdrew Li Xiang's sleeve, who was about to leave, and said, "Didn't I tell you? I think that the newly established government of the Republic of China cannot show weakness. At the same time, we should fight hard and fight against the south from the north! I came to you to listen to your suggestions for the Northern Expedition.

"My suggestion is to adapt the revolutionary army in Nanjing. With the army belonging to the revolutionary camp, whether it is the Northern Expedition War or peace negotiations, there will be political capital. Li wanted to say with a wry smile, "As for the Northern Expedition of the Sixth-way Revolutionary Army you mentioned, I can only guarantee that the two revolutionary armies of Hubei and Shaanxi will do their best."
