22 echoes the southeast

Li Xiang was surprisingly silent. The objective difficulties of the Nanjing Provisional Government were the reason why Huang Xing slowly became compromised. On the way to Huang Xing's office together, he didn't say a word.

Huang Xing pondered for a while. Speaking of the situation that the Northern Expedition was hindered by financial difficulties, it was more specific. He said, "The reinforcements of Luan troops will start on the same day, but they can't send more troops without money or equipment. Sending warships to Yantai is the same thing as Yuanluan, and sending people to Tianjin is also important, and there is no military expenditure."

Li wanted to know his difficulties and said with a faint smile, "At this point, there is no reason for the extension. The soldiers of the Republic of China are determined to go to war."

Huang Xing looked at him in astonishment for a long time and frowned and said, "Now the financial crisis has never been solved. Some important decisions of the interim government must be greatly restricted. The country is worried about foreign troubles, and it is often difficult to complete the Northern Expedition."

"Brother Huang's words are not good." Li wants to be confident that his name has changed from a gentleman to a big brother. The fact is that there has never been a better moment for the revolutionary army to crush Yuan Shikai and carry out the revolution to the end.

Huang Xing said unhappily, "Power is the evil of the world, and the war is prolonged for the regime, and there is no self-forgiveness."

Li Xiang asked calmly, "What is the purpose of the Nanjing Provisional Government sending the Northern Expeditionary Army to Suzhou this time?"

Huang Xing's eyes flashed and he said coldly, "This is also a moment, that is also a moment. Although the army under the Nanjing government is known as 17 divisions, only the two provinces of Guangdong and Zhejiang have strong combat effectiveness. The Guangdong army has less than 10,000 people, and the generals of the Zhejiang army have always opposed me and did not obey orders. Zhu Rui, the commander of the First Division of the Zhejiang Army, who has made great achievements in conquering Nanjing, is a Baoding Military Academy student. He has a teacher and student relationship with Duan Qirui. There have been rumors in Nanjing. He sent a secret message to Duan and expressed his support for Yuan's coming to power.

Li Xiang smiled and said, "What else is there? Let's talk about it together."

Huang Xing said sadly, "Since I served as the commander-in-chief of the army, the chief of staff and the governor of the base camp, I have to pay military pay and buy arms. 300,000 troops in Nanjing have reached out to me. Because the military's rent is declining, he wants to borrow hundreds of thousands of yuan from Shanghai for emergency through Zhang Jian. He hasn't replied to me yet. The little money that sold the Jiangnan Shipyard today was originally used for the military expenses of the First World War in Suzhou. They immediately swarmed like flies smelling blood and reached out to me. How many official property can be sold in Nanjing? And how much can the Northern Expedition last with this method of raising military funds? The strength of the south is not as good as the Northern Expedition. The army is unbearable to fight, and it is unbearable and worried about collapse.

Li Xiang laughed and said, "The war in Guzhen last night has clearly proved that invisible weapons can break the copper wall and iron wall. Wherever the military spirit comes, it will be able to break through the crowd.

Huang Xing looked at him for a long time in a dazed way. As if he knew him for the first time, he said solemnly, "The Hubei Revolutionary Army has been fighting with this spirit, so it can turn the situation around under absolute disadvantage and create a miracle of defeating the Beiyang Army? But the situation in Nanjing is different from that in Hubei.

While the Hubei Revolutionary Army pays full attention to tangible education, I also pay more attention to casting an army full of elite souls. Miracles are created because we have a firm will. Li wanted to nod and said, "There are two revolutionary spiritual leaders, you and Mr. Zhongshan, in Nanjing. It is not difficult to create miracles."

Huang Xing asked humbly, "I would like to hear about it."

Li Xiang said ambitiously, "The hearts of the people are blazing, and the call for the Northern Expedition is high. As long as you are determined, there is no reason for the Northern Expedition to be unsuccessful."

Huang Xing's face changed slightly, and he didn't say anything for a while. It was obvious that he was still firing a "cannon" at this time, and he was dissatisfied with not a word of benefits. After a long time, he sighed, "It's difficult!"

Li Xiang knew that he was in chaos and was still wandering between war and not fighting. He smiled and said, "As I just said, it is a time to break Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army. There are two reasons. First of all, Yuan Shikai's north has been in full swing. The revolutionaries in Zhili and the three eastern provinces are ready to move, and the hearts of the people he is behind are lost. Secondly, the Beiyang army is exhausted, and the military expenditure is also very tight. Especially after the defeat of Hubei's World War I, the war-weariness is very clear. After a pause, Zhengrong said, "In terms of military strength, the revolutionary army is not as good as the Beiyang Army, but from the perspective of the people's hearts and the national trend, the comprehensive strength of the revolutionary army is far higher than that of the Beiyang Army. Our careful layout and the Northern Expedition of the Sixth Route Army ensured that Yuan Shikai could make a big somersault, and from then on, he was powerless to force the revolution.

Huang Xing was moved when he heard this. He greatly reduced his doubts about the Northern Expedition and doubled his trust. He asked, "How are your first and sixth Northern Expeditions going?"

Li thought, "We are acting as planned, but the First Army of Beiyang led by Duan Qirui is sticking to the big city. The war is deadlocked, and it is difficult to make progress for a while. However, Sheng Yun, the former governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, who fled to Gansu, and Geng, the governor of Gansu Province of the Qing Dynasty, jointly fought back against the revolutionary military government of Shaanxi Province. After being frustrated in Xianyang and Xi'an, they were forced to withdraw to the west and turn into defense. The two groups, Shengyun and Changgeng, attempted to fight together to prevent the Anxi Revolutionary Army from advancing west with favorable terrain. The corps of the Second Division directly under the headquarters of the Ezhou National Revolutionary Army were reorganized into the Anxi Revolutionary Army and entered Shaanxi one after another. In addition, the total strength of the Anxi Revolutionary Army increased to 100,000. Lin Tiechang, deputy commander of the Anxi Revolutionary Army, is determined to launch the Fuyu Campaign, to contain the main force of Changgeng with a corps, and concentrate on the three corps to annihilate Shengyun and Changgeng in the areas of Fufeng and Yixian. Each army forced the Shengyun Department to retreat to Ningxia, and then isolated Changgeng.

Huang Xing was moved by this and hesitated for a moment before he made up his mind: "In view of Yuan Shikai's intensified push, the Ningxia Alliance will suppress the strength of the Western Army to attack Shaanxi, cut off the only northwest traffic of the Qing court, and decided to contact the civilian army in Ningxia to launch an uprising at the same time. The insurgent army was mainly composed of the brother's old association and the patrol to supplement the five battalions. The troops were divided into four routes, with the participation of all ethnic groups in Han, Hui and Mongolia. Liu Xianzhi, a revolutionary of the League, was the general leader. At the same time, he decided to send Gao Zhiqing (the author's press: Baidu "Gao Shangxiu" to know.), Wang Zhanbin, Sun Xuewen, Zhu Bangke and others to return to Lingzhou and Pingluo, and at the same time as Ningxia Fucheng.

"That's it!" Li couldn't think that there was such a secret force in the alliance in the northwest. He said excitedly, "Ningxia was a government in Gansu Province, which was a populated area of Hui people. It was known as "Guanzhong barrier, Qinlong's throat." First, Xi'an Guangfu cut off the Qing court's south road to the northwest. The Ningxia uprising was successful, and the only north road traffic at that time was cut off, which effectively shook the Qing government's rule in Gansu. Sheng Yun, together with Chang Geng, Yuan Dahua, the governor of Xinjiang, and General Zhirui of Yili, planned that in case the Qing court was in danger, they would contact Xin, Gan and Inner Mongolia as one. They supported Xuantong's westward migration and temporarily planned to be safe. Xu Tu's recovery plan would also go bankrupt.

Huang Xing shook his head and said, "Don't be careless. Manting has always been strong in the northwest. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was known as the three pillars Shengyun, Tieliang and Changgeng. The second was located in the northwest. The "Western Army", a strong Hui military force loyal to the Qing Dynasty, which emerged at the end of the Qing Dynasty, was also stationed in Gansu. The activities of the revolutionaries in this area began after 1997. According to the General Chapter of the Chinese League, Gansu should set up a branch of the League. Although the Shaanxi-Gansu League branch was established in Tokyo, Japan in 1996, and Gansu student Zhang Zanyuan was appointed as the branch, due to many difficulties, the plan to establish the Gansu League Branch has not been realized. Although Jing Bumu, the head of the Shaanxi-Gansu League branch, and others later had activities in Gansu, they did not form a certain force in organizational development. In 1917, in order to consolidate its rule in Xinjiang, the Qing government transferred 42 standards of the Hubei Army to Yili and arrived in Langao first. The standard of this new army is the famous Yang Zhenxu in the alliance. He was a graduate of Toyama School of the Japanese Army and participated in the alliance in his early years. Although he served in the Qing court after returning to China, he was very close to the revolutionaries of the Hubei League and the Japanese Association at that time, and was still secretly committed to the revolutionary movement. There are many revolutionaries in the new army under his command. After being detected by the Qing government on that day, some revolutionaries joined in and came to the northwest border to seek another development. Among them, Liu Xianzhi, Zhu Songpan, Peng Dashhou and others were more famous for their later activities in Gansu. In addition, some revolutionaries who participated in the revolution in the mainland and were wanted by the Qing government also came to Gansu one after another. For example, Wang Zhizuo originally participated in the Anqing Uprising led by Xiong Chengji in Anhui. After the loss, under the persecution of the Qing government, he was not familiar with the governor, so he returned to Longshang. Li Zhaomei, a member of the alliance, and others first organized the party in Jiangnan, with more than 50,000 people, covering all walks of life of military and police. Later, he was wanted by Duan Fang and was forced to go to Gan through Henan and Shaanxi. The activities of the revolutionaries in Gansu actually began after the arrival of these people. During their stay in Langao, they instilled the foundation of the new trend, publicized Mr. Zhongshan's revolutionary ideas and the program of the alliance, and established the Northwest Revolutionary Alliance Branch with Liu Xianzhi and Peng Dashou as the general liaison. From then on, in this area far away from the frontier and still at a loss about the revolution, people's hearts are excited, and the idea of democratic revolution has spread.

Li Xiang laughed and said, "With their cooperation in the next battle of Fuyu, it is difficult for me not to win... You may not know that in Wuchang, there are more than 100 young Gansu young people studying in Wuchang Army Middle School also devoted themselves to this huge revolutionary movement. Gansu Army School was originally named Gansu Wubei School, but later changed its name to Gansu Army School. This school was the first new army school in Gansu at the end of the Qing Dynasty. After graduation, some Gansu students of the Army School entered the No. 3 Middle School of the Hubei Army. There are more than 100 Gansu people studying in the Third Secondary School of the Hubei Army. When the Wuchang Juyi happened, there were thousands of students in the Army No. 3 Middle School, and finally more than 700 people participated in the uprising. More than a hundred Longshang Zhishi, who did not die in Wuchang, are now in Shaanxi and belong to the Anxi Revolutionary Army. Originally, I relied on them to use troops against the northwest this time, but you brought me a bigger surprise.

Huang Xing smiled and said, "How will you go after the Battle of Fuyi?"

Li Xiang replied, "Of course, it is to launch the Pingliang Campaign and take Langao!"

Huang Xing's eyes immediately shone a sharp light, staring at Li and said, "If you want to take Lan Gao, you must contact someone."

Li couldn't think that there were people hidden in Huang Xing's bag, so he couldn't help asking excitedly, "Who?"

"Huang Yue!" Huang Xing said in a low voice, "I introduced him to join the alliance in Shanghai. Before the Guangzhou Uprising, the situation of democratic and revolutionary struggle in the southeast provinces was high, and the idea of democracy and republic was widely spread. The revolutionary undercurrent had become a trend of returning to the sea. In order to ignite the revolutionary fire in the northwest, the members of the League and I sent Huang Yue to Gansu to spread the fire and open up revolutionary positions to echo the southeast. Huang Ye was happily ordered to lead a group of Hunan comrades to Langao day and night in winter. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Wanpeng, his father, accompanied Zuo Zongtang to Xinjiang to quell the Agubai rebellion, and made contributions as the admiral of Xinjiang and worked with Chang Geng. Because Chang Geng and Huang's father were old, he was quite trusted by Chang Geng. In August of 1911, Huang Yu was appointed as the General Office of the Military Reserve Department, and was later recommended as the General Counselor of the Supervision Office. He took advantage of the position of general counselor of Gansu Supervision and Training Office to secretly look for revolutionary comrades, and organized a meeting with Tan Qiqi and Shun Yao secret merchants in Sichuan to carry out democratic revolutionary activities.

Li Xiang said happily, "Thank you, Brother Huang, for your help. However, the Western Expedition can be done slowly, but the Northern Expedition is urgent!"

This is a heart disease of Huang Xing, and he suddenly became worried and said, "Military expenditure can't find a solution at all. I'm afraid the Northern Expedition will not succeed."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "I will do my best to help Nanjing tide over the financial crisis."

Huang Xing was stunned for a long time, took a long breath, shook his head and smiled, "How long can the days of smashing the pot and selling iron last? Is there no better choice other than this?
