Chapter 13: Sun Wu's Uneasiness
The summer rain poured, surging down, and then poured into the Han River along the streets and alleys, and the rain took away countless filth, as if the three towns of the Han River were washed again, and the Turtle Mountain in the distance was more like a giant beast entrenched, and the snake mountain on the opposite bank together locked the river, standing up and protecting the three towns ().
In the Hankou Russian Concession, far away from Guishan, a man in a dress and leather shoes has his hands in his pocket. On the street downstairs, several Russian soldiers with guns happened to pass by here, and the man subconsciously retracted his figure, knowing that they were far away before he opened the curtain again, and was about to look outside again, when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Tuk tuk tuk three times followed by another tuk tuk, and after hearing the code, the man opened the door, and the figures of two men wearing wide-brimmed hats flashed into the house.
"Sun Wu."
As soon as Jiang Yiwu entered the house, he hurriedly glanced at Li Xiping, who came with him, who hurriedly walked to the window to observe the outside, and he grabbed Sun Wu and hurriedly said: "Yang Qiu has returned to Wuchang yesterday afternoon. ”
"Oh? He's back? ”
"yes." Jiang Yiwu continued: "I heard the news from the Admiral's Mansion that Xiao Anguo, who came back with him, has been appointed as the Pingku of Chuwangtai, he first ate a whip, and then was promoted to the 42nd Standard of the Mixed Association!" ”
Chuwangtai Pingku ()! Mix into the Association 42 standard system!
Sun Wu was taken aback, he never thought that Yang Qiu would become the commander of the 42 standards, it seems that the imperial court really spent a lot of money to win him over, the 42 standards are stationed in Hankou and Hanyang, that is to say, this side will be under his jurisdiction in the future, which is really a big threat to the Hubei comrades who established the revolutionary base camp here.
As for Xiao Anguo's promotion to Pingku, it is also a big threat, tens of thousands of guns and hundreds of cannons in Chuwangtai He stared at them for a long time, Jiang Yiwu and they have also been secretly lobbying the engineering battalion, hoping to pull more like-minded comrades, but I didn't expect Zhang Biao and Li Yuanhong to intervene sideways, so that Yang Qiu guards Hanyang and Hankou, and Xiao Anguo guards Chuwangtai, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time to raise righteousness.
"Why are you so worried, Pingku is just a key manager, so don't be afraid. As for Yang Qiu, according to me, let me take someone to kill him. Li Xiping, who was on the sentry next to him, saw that both of them had solemn faces, and immediately patted his chest and gritted his teeth.
"Nonsense, you think it's that simple to kill him?" Sun Wu glared at Li Xiping and said: "Now he is not what he used to be, the three towns will definitely be in chaos if he has a high position and a little power, not to mention that he has already served as the commander of the 42 standards, and there must be soldiers to protect him when he enters and exits. ”
"Are you going to let those two lackeys have a good time?!" Li Xiping said angrily.
"Okay, let's not talk about Yang Qiu yet." Sun Wu was worthy of the leader of the Communist Advancement Association, knowing that he could no longer kill Yang Qiu at this moment, and he was afraid that mentioning this matter again would cause Jiang Yiwu and his "mud legs" to be dissatisfied, so he changed the topic and asked, "Did I ask you to get any news about the explosives?" ”
Li Xiping was very unhappy after being blocked back by Sun Wu, but he didn't dare to talk back, so he had to sprinkle all his anger on Yang Qiu again, and secretly decided to find an opportunity to kill this thief who fought against the revolution.
Jiang Yiwu's face was uncertain, and he shook his head and replied: "The investigation of the gun factory is too strict, and only dozens of private guns without bullets have been obtained from those craftsmen, and the explosives have not been obtained yet. ”
"Forget it, I'll figure out another way to deal with this." Sun Wu sighed and waved his hand: "You go back immediately, find a way to contact more soldiers in the 21st Mixed Association, where we are developing too slowly." ”
Jiang Yiwu heard it, and Sun Wu was also quite worried about Yang Qiu, so he nodded immediately, and just as he grabbed his hat and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what's going on in Sichuan?" ”
"Some comrades died, but fortunately, most of the backbone survived." Sun Wu said: "Now that Mr. Song has returned to Shanghai, I heard that Mr. Song has agreed with Deng Xiaoke and others that he will personally take over the affairs of Sichuan, and it is estimated that he will be relaunched soon." ”
"That's great, Mr. Song will come out in person, and this matter will definitely be successful." Hearing that Huang Xing was going to personally manage Sichuan, Jiang Yiwu and Li Xiping were excited, and Song Jiaoren's name was much louder than them.
"Perhaps." Sun Wu was not as optimistic as them, and said lightly: "Do our thing well, once Sichuan really succeeds, we need to use our sacrifice to defend the fruits of victory!" ”
"Yes." The two nodded, put their hats back on, and opened the crack in the door to see that no one was paying attention before quickly leaving. Seeing the two leaving, Sun Wu sat down again, took out a pen and paper, and wrote two big characters on the white paper.
"Yang Qiu!"
After finishing writing, Sun Wu was still uneasy, so he stood at the window to let in the air, but saw Jiang Yiwu and Li Xiping on the street walking and didn't know what they were muttering.
"Brother Jiang, do you want that dog thief to be happy?" Li Xiping said fiercely, he was very unhappy that Sun Wu blocked himself just now, Jiang Yiwu was also very dissatisfied with Sun Wu's plan not to kill Yang Qiu for the time being, and when he saw him, he simply gritted his teeth: "Let's go, go to find Jin Leprosy." ”

"Sss
In the baggage camp of the eight towns of the Wuchang New Army, Yang Qiu was lying on the bamboo bed shirtless, surrounded by soldiers from the baggage battalion, Ma Kui sat next to him with a cotton ball dipped in medicinal wine, and kept wiping the pale red bruises on his back, and every time he wiped, there would be a sound of baring teeth and inhaling ().
"Come on, my big hero of Baturu, does it hurt that much?"
This inhalation sound not only did not make everyone anxious, but caused a burst of laughter, and Hu Laosan, who loves to be lively, deliberately squeezed his eyes, and said happily: "Brother Yang, I don't think this whip is too strong, could it be that Ma Kui touched you too comfortably?" ”
"Yes, I think this is a deliberate mercy on our part, I was whipped last time, but I couldn't get out of bed for three days and three nights."
", can you compare to Brother Yang? By the way, why did you get whipped last time? ”
"I know this, he went to a private meeting, but he was tossed all night and missed the time to."
"Haha."
Compared with other battalions, most of the soldiers in the baggage battalion are from the countryside and have no culture, and they are not taboo when it comes to meat, but they have more of the kindness in the army before, but they have become an outlier because Yang Qiu is the only one in the battalion who has gone to a foreign school.
In the past, except for Bingwen, most people only regarded him as the pride of the sky and rarely talked nonsense, but this time he went to Sichuan, and saved the escort brothers, and finally because his entire baggage camp was rewarded by the imperial court, each person got ten oceans, so he suddenly got a lot closer to everyone.
"You're all in a hurry, aren't you? What to do, what to do. Xiao Anguo's loud voice sounded from behind, and the soldiers suddenly disappeared, leaving only Yang Qiu and Ma Kui, who rubbed him with medicine.
"Brother, my brother doesn't start so hard." Seeing Yang Qiu's bared teeth as if he had been injured, Xiao Anguo was also secretly funny, this guy really pretended to be dead, he deserved to be a scholar!
"Huh? Why is Pingku-sama so idle? Aren't you afraid that you will be late, tens of thousands of guns have been robbed? Yang Qiu picked up his clothes from the side and put them on and quipped: "Do you have to learn from me to take three days off to treat whiplashes?" ”
"I've got something to look for you ()."
Seeing that Xiao Anguo found a stool to sit next to him, as if he wanted to discuss something, Ma Kui immediately got up and wanted to leave, Yang Qiu grabbed him and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, sit down, our brother is not an outsider, not to mention that the eldest brother has already promoted you to take over the baggage camp when he was in the Admiral's Mansion that day, and the Admiral has already approved it, and it is estimated that the order should arrive in two more days." ”
"Really?" As soon as he heard that Xiao Anguo had raised himself to take over the management of the baggage battalion, Ma Kui immediately scratched his head with joy, although the baggage battalion is not as important as the flat warehouse, and it is not as important as the 42nd standard, but from time to time officials will come to the baggage operation to send some goods or something, and the oil and water are also good, so he hurriedly thanked Xiao Anguo.
"Look at you, but I don't thank me for this, it's all the credit of Brother Yang."
After Ma Kui sat down and the three of them made a few more troubles, the corners of Xiao Anguo's mouth collapsed and said bitterly: "Don't hide it from my brother, after I came back from the Governor's Palace, I always feel unsteady in my heart, why do you say that Lord Admiral and Lord Li will promote me to Pingku?" ”
"I don't know." Yang Qiu rolled his eyes, patted his forehead and said, "Big brother, you are just Pingku, to put it bluntly, you are a warehouse watcher, but brother, what is my name!" ”
"It's different, it's different." Xiao Anguo hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother, you are a person with great ability, and you have drunk so much foreign ink, when I first arrived in the baggage camp, I knew that you would soar sooner or later, but I, Xiao Anguo, am just a big old man, if I hadn't been a soldier and followed Mr. Xixi to know a few words, I am afraid that I would not even be able to write my name." ”
Seeing Xiao Anguo's hesitant expression, Yang Qiu knew that he was really anxious, so after thinking about it, he said, "If the eldest brother doesn't think I'm talking nonsense, I'll analyze it for you." ”
"Brother, say it quickly." Xiao Anguo hurriedly moved the stool closer, and even Ma Kui pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what Yang Qiu had to say.
"Brother Xiao." Yang Qiu took a breath, raised his eyebrows and said: "Chu Wangtai has a great responsibility, so there is a saying in the army that non-cronies are not allowed to serve, but then again, are cronies really reliable?" Since the establishment of the new army, how many eyes have been staring at the Admiral, not to mention this armory, which is the top priority, so for so many years, the adults have not arranged for the flat warehouse, and only let Li Keguo of the engineering battalion serve as the part-time officer, just for fear that gossip will be attacked. ”
"Then why do you want Brother Xiao to serve now?" Ma Kui asked next to him.
"First, Brother Xiao happened to have made a meritorious service and needed a reward." Yang Qiu raised his finger and analyzed: "Second, it should be said that I hurt you, because after passing through Sichuan and his party, Brother Xiao and Brother Ma, I am afraid that you have already been branded as Yang Qiu's accomplices, so you are not afraid that the armory will be infiltrated by the chaotic party." ”
"Brother, you mean those rebels will rob the gun arsenal!"
Xiao Anguo and Ma Kui immediately looked at each other, they didn't expect Yang Qiu to say this, you must know that the strictness of Chuwangtai's defense can be said to be the best of the entire new army, and it seems impossible to outsiders, but the latter did not leak the historical consciousness in advance at all, and continued: "The Admiral and Lord Li have been in charge of the new army for many years, so they naturally know what is important, and they also know the situation in the army well. ”
Speaking of this, an extremely bold idea suddenly rose in Yang Qiu's mind, in history, the Swiss side transferred troops from the New Army to help the emergency, and Zhang Biao lent him the 31st and 32nd bids of his eight towns, but it was these two regiments who rebelled when they saw that they were about to arrive in Chengdu!
On the contrary, the remaining troops who stayed in Wuchang were still entangled with the rebel army for a long time, if it weren't for Chu Wangtai and Li Yuanhong being carried out later, Zhang Biao might not have been defeated! According to this calculation, can it be considered that Zhang Biao already knew something, so he deliberately sent out the soldiers of the two standards who were most seriously infiltrated?
Now because he has a small fork, and he actually let Xiao Anguo serve as Pingku, does it mean that he already knows that Chu Wangtai is in danger? You must know that at that time, under the bewitchment of several members of the Kuomintang Party, the mutinous troops took the most core Chuwangtai without a single shot.
"Original...... I was targeted by the party! Yang Qiu patted his thigh and figured it all out
