23 Breaking Dawn

Li Xiangqi ran out of the army department of the supervision and training office. His heart was always like an extra thorn. He was depressed and difficult to dispatch. What bothers him most is that Huang Xing is afraid of the Northern Expedition. Originally, he was as powerful as a rainbow, and he went straight to the Northern Expedition. Li Xiang also devoted all his efforts to this, but now he has made it ridiculous.

Will the revolution in that country go smoothly? If you can succeed easily, it will not be called a revolution. He retreats when he encounters a little storm. Now Huang Xing just responds to an old saying in martial arts novels: the older the world, the less timid he is!

Although Yuan Shikai's Beiyang army is not good in his current eyes, he is deeply concerned about Lao Yuan's cunning and wisdom. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic of China, many heroes were all chess pieces in his chessboard. If Li Xiang hadn't been a traveler who knew history, and with a little coincidence, he would have fallen into his hands. Therefore, if you don't defeat him on the battlefield and want to play politics with him, no one among the revolutionaries can play with Li Xiang's memory.

Thinking of this, Li has turned to the main street. There was an endless stream of people and cars on the street, and boats bowed back and forth on the Qinhuai River. Suddenly, there was a lot of fine snow, adding a kind of indescribable entanglement atmosphere.

Although the Northern Expedition did not go well, the Western Expedition has made great progress, which is also a happy thing in the midst of depression.

While thinking about it, I saw a handsome man walking out of a Western-style pastry shop on the street with a bag of things and walking towards a carriage parked at the door of the shop. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a pink girl came out happily and took the pastry.

Li wanted to hurry up. It turned out to be Lin Huiyin and his father, Huang Xing's secretary of the War Department, Lin Changmin. Huang Xing was so busy vomiting blood in the Army Department. He took his daughter to visit the ancient city of Jinling leisurely.

Li wanted to meet the horse and said hello from afar: "Oh, Mr. Lin takes his daughter shopping. It's very leisurely."

"How are you, Uncle Li!" Lin Huiyin waved to Li Xiang, who came over. She smiled sweetly and was cute. She also recognized Li Xiang.

"My little sister is getting more and more beautiful." Li wanted to nod his head with a smile.

Lin Changmin looked at Li Xiangqian and came to the side of the carriage. Fang smiled bitterly and said, "This is the state matter. Is there leisure to go shopping?" I'm leaving Nanjing and going back to Shanghai. Since 1911, I have been dedicated to the revolution. How can I not be tolerated by the revolutionaries? I have made so much trouble that I feel sorry.

Li Xiang was secretly strange, not what he thought, but listening to his tone, he was extremely wronged and asked doubtfully, "Life is always difficult and everything is satisfactory. However, even if we have different positions, we are still friends.

Lin Changmin knew that he had misunderstood and said happily, "It's not the position of the constitution and the revolution. I assisted Brother Keqiang and abandoned the party for a long time. Isn't it for the sake of republic? Then he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I was stung by the members of the Old League on the streets of Nanjing, saying that I used to oppose the revolution, but now I have joined the revolutionary team. Speaking of this, I can only resign and go to Shanghai.

Li Xiang suddenly realized: "You have resigned, what about Old Tang?"

Lin Changmin smiled ambiguously and said, "Your father-in-law still resigns first. Don't you know?"

"It's no wonder I haven't seen him recently." Li wanted to shake his head, but he really didn't know. What's going on? He is also a meritorious official of Wuchang. Does anyone accuse him of opposing the revolution?

"Hubei side hated Tang Hualong for blaming Wuchang's first righteous person in Shanghai, and sent a special telegram to Nanjing to oppose his appointment as Secretary-General of the Army Department." Lin Changmin asked exaggeratedly, "Don't you know?"

Li Xiang laughed and said, "Am I so bored?" He is the Secretary-General of the Army Department and has no impact on me. What's more, even if I think about Xiaowan's face, I won't embarrass him.

"Of course I'm not saying that you did it. I believe you are not such a person." Lin Changmin smiled and said, "In fact, Sun Wu asked people to do it. When the Nanjing Provisional Government was established, Sun Wu thought that Wuchang had made great achievements and specially rushed to Shanghai for activities, hoping to get the status of general and deputy chief. Unexpectedly, the Nanjing government had no position, which aroused Sun's evil feelings for the Nanjing government. In this way, Sun Wu did not want to return to Hubei, such as Jiang Yiwu, Zhang Zhenwu, Liu Gong and others, who listened to your orders from then on, so they single-convenatedly attracted a large number of frustrated civil and military bureaucrats and politicians in Shanghai, cultivated their own power, and heard that they were going to establish a civil society. He doesn't have the ability to deal with you, so he asked Brother Jiwu to practice first.

Li Xiang sneered: "I was in Wuhan during the battle of Liu Pingli, and he was also there. He and Jiao Dafeng contacted comrades in the Lianghu area respectively and established a branch of the Communist Progressive Association. Zhongjing was once exposed and then recovered. It also played a role in Wuchang's first righteousness. However, the Hubei military government was established, and Sun was appointed as the Minister of Military Affairs, which is the most powerful part of the military government. Sun Wu did not lay the foundation for the revolution. On the contrary, he insulted the comrades, approached the old bureaucrats, and won Li Yuanhong, Sun Faxu and others to attack Jiang Yiwu and Zhang Zhenwu, who threatened his status. Liu Gong was also sent to Xiangyang by him. Mr. Huang was the commander-in-chief of the war. Sun not only did not have full support, but also was jealous of Huang's reputation above him, and the battle of filial piety dragged him back. This man has a very bad character.

"You may not believe it when I say it. Brother Jiwu actually appreciates you very much, but it's because of the matter of Xiaowan, it's so difficult to talk about it. He is a face-loving person, which has become a heart disease for him. I suggest you quickly settle your relationship with Xiaowan girl, and you will be embarrassed like this. Lin Changmin laughed.

Li Xiang was stunned at first, and immediately thought that his strength was expanding every day, and the powerful figure who did not pay attention to him before had been left behind by him. The most obvious manifestation of the position adjustment is that the strength of all parties began to fall on him.

Li wanted to laugh and changed the ** topic and said, "What are you doing in Shanghai? I just ask casually. You don't have to answer... No matter what others think, I still regard you as a friend."

Lin Changmin has a good impression on the famous Li Dashuai and said with a smile, "Brother Jiwu believes that in the future, if the Democratic Party has a big party as a shield, the government will be overwhelmed. Therefore, in Shanghai, in the name of discussing the construction of the Republic of China, he launched a seminar on republican construction in order to prepare for the reorganization of political parties. The colleagues of the Xianyou Association recommended Brother Jiwu as the director. Then he said proudly, "The seminar on republican construction is aimed at steady progress and gathers contractists to prepare for future political parties. With the founding of the Republic of China, people's hearts were cheered and vigorous for a while. The rush of the Party was easy to establish and easy to happen. As far as the ideal political party is concerned, there must be two major political parties in a country. One is urgent and the other is slow, and they are fighting with each other. The seminar on the construction of the Republic of China does not enter the political field, but only guides the people, and does not publicly release any political platform. It only announces internally that the partyism we hold is nothing more than steady and progressiveism. With this doctrine to cooperate with the country, then all kinds of construction of our country must take a policy of peace to the outside world and a policy of practical benefits to the inside.

Li Xiang amusedly guessed that the Republican Construction Seminar was unable to compete for the status of political power, so he flaunted as "not to enter politics, but to guide the people". He smiled quietly and said, "The state government of Hubei is engaged in multi-party cooperation and political consultation to carry out China's democratic united front. I'm here to invite you to give guidance to the E government.

Lin Changmin was refreshed and said, "I have wanted to see the land of the first righteousness for a long time. Frankly speaking, I'm not very optimistic about the future of the republican construction seminar, but with the olive branches you handed over, my confidence has doubled.

Li Xiang had not yet had a chance to reply. Lin Huiyin over there waved his whip impatiently and said, "Father! Is it his turn to talk?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Suzhou.

As soon as the dawn broke, the clouds in the sky became so colorful under the rising red sun. As the fiery red sun rose from the east, the attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army also began.

Bai Wenwei's Anhui artillery began a fierce shelling. The smoke was permeated, the earth trembled, and the thick smoke wrapped the whole city of Suzhou in it, and the whole city suddenly turned into an erupting volcano.

There was a noise of the commander's stairs. Zhang Xun was shocked and knew that it was not good. If there was no big deal, no one dared to disturb him upstairs. His personal guard A San ran upstairs and knelt in front of Zhang Xun: "Sir, the leading troops met Sun Wen's Northern Expeditionary Army in Guzhen last night. There were few enemies and could not resist it. They have returned to Suzhou. Almost all the cavalry and horses of the third battalions were lost."

Zhang Xun suddenly pulled out a pistol from the drawer and fired two shots at the glass "ping pong" angrily: "Donkey, please order me to block the south of the city. Those damn bandits will definitely catch up!"

Xiao Maozi was so scared that he cried with a "wow" and took Zhang Xun's arm: "Marshal, what should I do?"

Although Zhang Xun was panicked, he pretended to be calm and said, "Don't be afraid. Wait here. I'll command the army and fight back the bandits and come back!"

There is a piece of ** in Suzhou, and all the gates are guarded by heavy troops. There are wild cannons around the city wall, and the wall is ambushed like ants.

Zhang Xun and Ni Si rushed to the city gate with a sharp knife and a short gun in their waist. They hurriedly climbed to the gate and were ready to supervise the war. They raised their binoculars and saw that the Northern Expeditionary Army was dragging mountain cannons, holding machine guns and riding horses. They went in separately and rushed over like a tide.

A Northern Expeditionary general raised his arms and shouted, "Go forward!"

Hundreds of thousands of revolutionary troops of the Northern Expedition climbed out of the trenches and rushed up with bayonets. The sound of killing is shocking, the bayonet is bright, and under the morning sun, it is full of killing.

Zhang Xun was furious: "Fire! Fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Several shells fell behind the Northern Expeditionary Army. Unfortunately, Zhang Xun's artillery team is equipped with wild artillery, far away, not close. The Northern Expeditionary Army has rushed over bravely. The machine gun shot at the tower, and the cannons bombarded the city. Suzhou City was filled with gunpowder for a while, and the ancient city was about to be destroyed.

The death squad of the Northern Expeditionary Army, holding a snow-bright battle knife, shouted and rushed to the city wall under the cover of a machine gun.

Looking at the battlefield in the distance that was annihilated in the artillery fire, Zhang Xun, who was standing in the swing, gritted his teeth and jumped like thunder.

"Marshal, this will put our whole Jiang Fang army here. In that case, we will not be able to explain to Lord Yuan." Ni Sichong looked at Zhang Xun and persuaded bitterly, "It's common for soldiers to win or lose. Let the brothers withdraw."

Groups of the Northern Expeditionary Army attacked forward with bright bayonets against the crazy firepower of the braided army. The whole front was full of fierce fighting, and the soldiers from both sides were short-handed and shouted for killing. There are fire lights and shocking shouts everywhere.

Zhang Xun glanced at Ni Sichong and squeezed out two difficult words: "Retreat!"

Under the protection of two guards, he staggered down from the tower. A guard brought him a horse. Zhang Xun stepped on the saddle and ordered the guard angrily, "Go and inform each battalion and immediately retreat to Fu Liji. Then get on the train and return to the old camp in Xuzhou. After arriving in Xuzhou. I want to talk."
