Chapter 94 Huang Xing arrived

@@@@

In the middle of the corner of the Yangtze River in the lower reaches of Wuchang Qingshan, there is a huge reef lying horizontally, separating the river from the left and right channels (). Device: No ads, full text, more

Downstream of Chen Jiaji, the sailors on the deck of the Hairong ship were still basking in the sun leisurely, as if they had not seen the ups and downs in front of them, and only occasionally when they looked in the direction of Xiaogan, there would be a trace of melancholy in their eyes.

Inside the bridge, the telegraph officer hurriedly ran out, glanced at it, and then stood behind Sa Zhenbing, who was already full of gorgeous hair by the porthole, although his hair was gradually graying, and his waist was bent day by day, but this man was still the pillar of the navy, and no one knew what would become of the navy once he was gone.

"Yuruo, the imperial court has sent a telegram again?" Sa Zhenbing heard the footsteps and immediately turned half of his body, the telegraph officer had been following him since the year of Jiawu, so he didn't know how to haha, shook his head and said directly: "I just intercepted a clear code telegram from Xiaogan, Beiyang arrived at the periphery of Xiaochang this morning, and there was a fire with them. ”

Sa Zhenbing frowned: "Clear-code telegram? Are you sure it was sent by Xiaogan? Do you have a call code for Chu Yu? ”

"No, everyone is also wondering, if you want to say that in addition to foreigners, Hubei has a wireless telegraph machine, if it is sent by the three ships of Chu Yu, no matter what, it will leave a call code, and now it seems that Yang Qiu may have bought a telegraph from other channels." The news that the three gunboats of Chuyu were taken over by Yang Qiu is already known to everyone, but the sailor radio station has a call code, and a discerning person can know at a glance that it was sent by that ship. (Later, it was learned that Yang Qiu's reserve radio cào on the Chu Yu ship in Xiaogan made a mistake and sent the telegram in clear code.) )

"This Yang Qiu, his ability is really not small." Sa Zhenbing smiled, and had no doubt that Yang Qiu could buy a radio, after all, his army was now the only one in China that was equipped with the same Makqin machine gun and Krupp Seven Lives and Five Field Artillery units as Beiyang, and it seemed that there was nothing impossible to have a few more radios.

Xichang immediately leaned over when he heard this, he was a man and a Hairong ship pipe belt, if it weren't for Sa Zhenbing, he would have wanted to enter Wuchang a long time ago, and now he finally found an opportunity, and hurriedly asked: "Sa Commandery, Beiyang has already entered the customs, aren't we?" ”

"Yes, we are still flying the flag of the Great Qing Kingdom, and the ships have rested enough." Sa Zhenbing glanced at Xichang meaningfully, and after a short pause, he ordered: "The leader of the Hairong ship, Haichen, Jian'an, Jianwei, and Yuzhang will immediately anchor Hai Chip and the rest of the ships on standby. ”

"Our goal?" Xichang rubbed his hands, but before he could be happy, he saw Sa Zhenbing walking to the map and looking at it again.

Of course, Sa Zhenbing knew the thoughts of these Manchurian officers in Xichang, but he only wanted to deal with a few things, so it was really difficult to choose a target. The three towns of Wuchang can't be fought anyway, and Liujiamiao was originally a good target, but now that it has become a hub for the Hubei army, it should be avoided. As for Xiaogan being too far away, he pointed to Qingshan, drew a circle by the river, and smiled slightly: "I heard that Song Qing and Yang Qiu have set up an army association here to blockade the Yangtze River, so let's fight here, and order all ships to be sure to fight the majesty of our sailors." ”

Seeing the circle drawn by his finger, Xi Changdu was about to cry, this old man's finger is still several miles away from the Army Association of the Luàn Party, which is also called showing the majesty of the sailor? But the arm can't twist the big tui, don't look at the old man's age, but to say a word, even those Fujian barbarians who are holding together don't dare to say anything, now the ships are full of Han troops, and I still hide to the side to cool down, as for the queen mother of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor Xichang is incompetent

Xichang muttered a few times and walked out of the bridge, and saw a British Jardine company river ship passing by, and the deck was actually full of young people and NV people wearing red cross signs, knowing that this must be to support the Wuchang Luàn Party again, I really hated that I couldn't immediately sink him with a cannon. 3∴35686688

Fortunately, he just thought about it, not to mention how big it was to sink the Jiang Ferry of the British company, if he really fought, maybe he could really be a big hero of the imperial court because on the opposite deck were standing on the opposite deck at the moment with makeup Huang Keqiang and Song Yuchu.

Seeing that the Hairong ship had torn off its gun jacket, and the water in the bow of the ship was getting bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed over and sailed towards Chen Jiaji with four warships, Huang Keqiang's face darkened: "This Sa Zhenbing, does he really disregard the relationship between teachers and students and want to go against the righteousness of the world?" ”

He said loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of several British sailors, and Song Jiaoren hurriedly grabbed him: "Keqiang, be quiet, we are still on the British ship" Huang Keqiang also knew that he could not show his identity now, after all, he was wanted, and the British were not at all more polite to them than the Manchus, even if they didn't catch it, it would be too bad to bring them back to Shanghai, so they simply went back to the cabin out of sight.

A moment later, the rumbling cannon sound sounded from the front, and the five naval warships began to bombard the shores of Qingshan, the power of the naval artillery was too far from the army artillery, and even the city of Wuchang was alarmed, Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong were so anxious that they hurriedly sent someone to contact Yang Qiu to find a way to contain the naval division ().

The sound of explosions faster than one after another made Huang Keqiang's face very bad, and he couldn't wait to fly to the Hairong ship to question Sa Zhenbing, Song Jiaoren was also full of uneasiness, looking at the smoke outside the window and turning his head and saying: "Two towns and three associations, more than 30,000 Beiyang Jingrui and sailors to help, the pressure in Hubei is too great, you see." Although he was worried, he didn't understand military affairs, so he could only ask the "god of war" on this matter: "Can you hold it?" If this time my generation really has to go overseas. ”

"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. We are not vegetarians, now Hunan and Shaanxi are independent, and Jiangxi has only been in the past two days, and when we arrive in Wuchang, we will immediately mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the country to help, and we still have to fight. Huang Keqiang has a straight temper, and he will say whatever he wants: "The most important thing now is to find out what has happened in the past few days, why Sun Wu was demoted, and Yang Qiuhui became the commander-in-chief?" What are Ju Zheng and Tan Renfeng doing? And the Liu brothers, what the hell is going on"

Song Jiaoren was not as optimistic as him, not to mention whether the so-called national soldiers and horses would come, Wuchang alone was a lump of hemp, first divided into two armies, and finally blocked Beiyang outside Wusheng Pass and recovered the whole territory, and lost it again before cheering. But before everyone was discouraged, the news came that it was a voluntary retreat, and it also killed 3,000 Beiyang Jing Rui.

However, all this was not over, as soon as the ship arrived in Jiujiang, it heard that there was a mutiny in Xiaogan, and then Sun Wu was demoted, and Yang Qiu took over the post of commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces at the age of 22, and finally sent a national telegram to persuade Yuan Shikai to withdraw his troops with the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. What is this Yang Qiu's idea? Thinking of this, Song Jiaoren immediately glanced at Miao Yuan behind him, who knew his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Sir, don't worry, when I arrive in Wuchang, I will immediately go to Luo'er to ask for clarification." ”

"Keqiang, Dunchu, it's not good" The two were talking, Tian Tong suddenly got in and shouted: "Beiyang Beiyang has attacked Xiaochang." ”

Tian Tong and Song Jiaoren are classmates, but also a well-known talent in the League, has been a secretary before, in the past few years in the constitutional, republican dispute, and the royalists have a huge pen war, in the literati and ink is very famous, this time I heard that ** succeeded and immediately came to Wuchang with the two of them ().

When Huang Keqiang heard this, he quickly stood up, grabbed his arm and asked, "Where did you hear Ziqin (Tian Tongzi)?" ”

Tian Tong pointed to the British sailors outside: "I eavesdropped on the British from the British, they just received a clear code telegram from Xiaogan, the telegram said that a foot mark and a horse mark in Beiyang immediately launched an attack after arriving in Xiaochang, in my opinion, they are so anxious that they must have received a hint from Yuan Shikai, and they are ready to use this to show their loyalty to the north." ”

"This Yuan Gongbao, do you really want to be martyred for the Qing court?" Huang Keqiang was so angry that he slapped the big tui fiercely, and said angrily: "Everyone is Han, do you have to fight to the death, and in the end, you can't afford to be full of tartars?" ”

"What about Yang Qiu? What are they doing? "Song Jiaoren is also anxious, Xiaogan is not as good as Wusheng Pass, the terrain is flat and there is no danger to defend, the only barrier is the ** mountain in the north of Xiaogan, but compared to Wusheng Pass, this point of location is really not good.

Tian Tong shook his head: "Yuan Shikai may not really help the Qing court, in my opinion, he is still waiting for the price to sell, but now he is being beaten to kill our prestige first, if it is Hubei." He didn't say anything, but everyone also knew that if such a good situation was stifled, then they would be ready to go overseas to become apartments.

"No, it won't, Hunan is mobilizing troops to help, this time we will defend" Huang Keqiang clenched his fists fiercely, his eyes turned to Liujiamiao, only to see a train spitting black smoke and speeding north.

On the train, Yang Qiu didn't know that Huang Keqiang had passed by him, although he knew that the two big men would arrive in a few days, but the specific day had been forgotten, but even if he remembered that he didn't have the heart to receive him at this moment, compared with the military situation on the front line of Xiaogan, they may just be passers-by in life.

But for some, these two have become a lifesaver.

The news of the arrival of Huang Keqiang and Song Jiaoren immediately caused a sensation in Wuchang City, and in order to greet the two, Li Yuanhong came with military and political officials, and even Zhang Wenjing, who happened to come to handle the restructuring of the Hanyang Factory, and some officers also rushed to greet them. In order to show the solemnity, two large flags were simply erected, and three huge characters were written on the banners.

"Huang Xingdao"

"Keqiang, you can be regarded as here at the beginning of the retreat." At the mouth of the Consultative Bureau, Ju Zheng immediately took the lead when he saw the two of them, and shook Huang Keqiang's hand movingly, as if he had seen a savior, and the others were also moved, as if as long as he came, he would win this battle.

As for Li Yuanhong, he couldn't say that he was happy in his heart, but he had a feeling of eating hundreds of dead flies, because he had just signed the Hanyang Factory restructuring order on the condition of taking one percent of the dry shares, but he didn't expect to put down the big seal and these two came, if he could cry, he would definitely be willing to cry If these two came two days earlier, they would not be snatched away by Yang Qiu as the commander-in-chief first, even if he was half an hour earlier, he would definitely take back the documents for the restructuring of the Hanyang Factory, Sun Wuhui would fall because of the recommendation of Zhang Jingliang, but even if he was recommended ten times or eight times, he would definitely not collapse. He is the second leader of the Alliance

"Keqiang (at the beginning of his life) has seen Li Du."

Huang Keqiang didn't know that Li Yuanhong was already uncomfortable in his heart, and he glanced at Song Jiaoren and immediately walked towards him, the two of them finally made the old fox's face look better, squinted his eyes with joy, and held his hand to move: "Kegong, you are finally here, Wuchang is very fortunate to be very fortunate in Hubei."

With Li Yuanhong's words, the cheers around were deafening, and the horse team was carrying two big flags back and forth in Wuchang City to tell each other, and within a while, the news of the arrival of the second head of the alliance spread all over the three towns, and it seemed that even Xiaogan's cannon could not be heard. In order to welcome visitors from afar and to boost morale, a grand reception dinner was held in the Advisory Council. Li Yuanhong naturally sat in the middle, Huang Song and the two accompanied each other left and right, Tang Hualong sat down with Huang Keqiang, and he had the posture of escorting him, but it was Shouyi who made a big effort, and Yang Qiu's Zhan Dabei and Yang Wangpeng, who were getting closer and closer, were arranged to the edge.

"By the way, why didn't you see Yang Qiu?" Seeing that almost all the military and political officials had arrived but Yang Qiu was missing, Song Jiaoren was a little surprised.

Li Yuanhong coughed lightly and hurriedly said: "The two of you don't know, after hearing that Beiyang began to attack Xiaogan in the morning, Chen Hua had already gone to the front to command. Hey Li is useless, seeing that Beiyang is raging but can't help here, I'm ashamed."

Zhang Wenjing, who was sitting in the corner, sneered, where is this ashamed, it is clear that he told Huang Keqiang that he was already in danger of being set aside, but he didn't speak, anyway, the official document of the restructuring is in hand, and the military power is not something that can be taken back if you want to, so I am happy to continue to watch him act (). Sure enough, these words made Huang Keqiang's brows furrow slightly, and even Song Jiaoren heard the overtones, but now they couldn't express their position easily, so they took the lead and said: "You are the Grand Governor, how can you easily get involved in danger when you command the overall situation, it is better to give this kind of war to the following." ”

"Mr. Dunchu is right, Governor Li needs to lead the overall situation, Yang Qiu shoulders the responsibility of commander-in-chief, at this moment, Beiyang is attacking Xiaochang, so he naturally needs to go to the town in person." Tang Hualong hurriedly snorted, although he wanted to take advantage of Huang Keqiang to take another step, but now after all, he and Yang Qiu are still wearing a kushi, not to mention that Zhang Wenjing is still sitting below, so he naturally wants to say a few good words for him.

Huang Keqiang couldn't hide his words in his heart, put down his wine glass and asked: "Li Du, I have been outside with Dunchu, and I have just heard about the incident in Hubei, can you tell the two of you about the incident after the incident?" ”

Zhang Wenjing chuckled in his heart, knowing that Huang Keqiang heard the sound outside the strings. Li Yuanhong was even more overjoyed, but he also knew that if he continued to talk about it, he was afraid that it would be self-defeating, so he immediately turned to the current battle situation, saying how powerful Beiyang was and how difficult it was to win.

This scene made Zhang Wenjing sigh, and finally knew why Yang Qiu shook his head every time he talked about these "big shots", commenting on them as "heroes with great personalities, full of self-sacrifice, but too idealistic", because they didn't know what politics was. Even if they knew, in front of the old foxes like Yuan Shikai and Li Yuanhong, they were just little mice that were played under their paws

Now the old fox obviously wants to pick up Huang Keqiang to regain the disadvantage, and Yang Qiu happened to go to the front line again, once they are made by the old fox to reach some kind of agreement, how to resolve it? It's okay to move Sun Wu, but it's impossible to move the old fox and these two, and even if there are no such things, after they control the political discourse, will they waste all the blood and sweat of the soldiers?

Isn't it time for the Wehrmacht to start preparing its own political forces?
