    "Ha ha"

    There was a wave of laughter in the combat conference room, and Xiao Anguo even wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "Commander, your skills are really amazing. In the blink of an eye, we became the National Defense Right Army, and you also took advantage of the situation to hand over Li Xietong."  By holding the throne of E-Government, it¡¯s not obvious that it¡¯s embarrassing for them!¡±

    "So what if it's embarrassing?" Zhang Wenjing said happily: "Tens of thousands of notices have been posted all over the streets and alleys. Now no one in Yangxia knows that Li Xietong has been appointed governor of Hubei, and the commander has been appointed commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army.  If they have the ability, they will expose it.¡±

    "Wen Jing, aren't you trying to make things difficult for others? Even if you take them off, what will happen? I just ordered people to post a few of them at the gate of the concession, and all the foreigners know about it. Besides, Bingwen and Wang Guangxiong have already sent out a nationwide telegram.  The name of the Commander and our Right Route Army will surely spread throughout the country in less than two days."

    "Zian, you" Zhang Wen said angrily: "That's too bad!"

    Song Ziqing attended this kind of meeting for the first time and did not dare to be presumptuous, but he really admired Yang Qiu's skills.  Because everyone knows very well that with his previous reputation and current connections and reputation, he must not rush to the front.  So everyone has been worried about the status of this new team.  But it's good now. There hasn't been any reaction over there. Here, we have already determined our status and position. We have issued a notice of peace and security to the whole country, and even mentioned the name of Governor Li. Unless there is some force over there,  , otherwise you can only swallow this breath.

    But can it be tough?  Not to mention that the naval camp is still red-eyed in the river and is preparing to make its first contribution to the vote. Just the leaderless chaos in Wuchang City will probably take several days to be settled. In that time, the whole country will know, and the Democratic Party will no longer  Even if you want to fight, you must consider the consequences of killing a revolutionary hero!

    Now there is no suspense about the arrival of the army from the north, and the elite Beiyang will definitely be dispatched. Yang Qiu's purchase of so many machine guns obviously exceeds the need for defense, so he must have already thought about fighting this battle well!  As long as you can gain fame in this war and forge an iron army, thenwhere else in the world can you not go?

    "Send someone to cross the river." Yang Qiu raised his hand to calm everyone down immediately and said, "Tell them that Zhang Biao is entrenched in Liujiamiao and has seriously threatened Hankou. Our army currently has a serious shortage of ordnance, no military spending, and not enough soldiers. They always  Can¡¯t we watch Hankou fall again?¡±

    Song Ziqing smiled knowingly: "The commander is right, but they certainly don't believe us so easily, so we need someone who dares to speak, and we must not be influenced by them."

    "You have to be more restrained, be more aggressive, have a louder mouth, and have a louder voice!" After Zhang Wenjing finished speaking, he patted his head first and said happily: "Look at me, why do you think of the commander's precious piece of hob meat!"

    Everyone burst into laughter again, and even Yang Qiu was amused. He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said calmly: "Brother Xiao and Wenjing will handle the matter of communicating with the other side. In addition, you are choosing.  A few people come out. We must not rely on Hu Ruilin and the others for customs and police. When the Wuchang matter is settled, I will probably give us the name of a military government branch, so some things must be started now, and the most important thing for us now is  We must kill Zhang Biao as soon as possible!"

    "I sent people to make up railway workers to conduct reconnaissance." When talking about business, everyone became serious. Yue Peng spread the map on the table and pointed at it and said: "There are about a thousand Zhang Biao's remnants entrenched in Liujiamiao, most of them are  The patrol battalion, Ma Biao and his personal guards, as well as some of 29 Biao's men and horses, were short of weapons due to their hasty escape. The soldiers came back and reported that they only saw 5 cannons and 2 machine guns.

    Liujiamiao is less than 10 kilometers away from the Japanese concession in the north of Hankou. Outside the train station, the terrain is open and undefeable, but the roads inside are winding. On the left and right are railway workers¡¯ dormitories and warehouses. There are also several trains parked at the railway bureau, machine guns  There are blind spots for shooting after entering, and Zhang Biao also held the train, probably because he wanted to escape in the chaos after losing the enemy, so I felt that we must prevent escape first. I have ordered people to dig out a section of the track to cut off its retreat and shake its military morale.  After taking action, we took advantage of our numerical advantage to besiege from three sides, only focusing on the side closer to the river.  "

    "Insidious, you are too insidious" Zhang Wenjing, who knew Yue Peng best, patted him and encouraged him: "Are you planning to have Wang Guangxiong's naval camp wait there, and wait until he feels safe to blast him with cannons?  ?¡±

    Yue Peng smiled and said nothing. When he raised his head to look at Yang Qiu, he found that his eyes did not seem to be at the Liujia Temple, but extending north along the Beijing-Hankou Railway. This made his eyebrows jump!  Doesn't this guy want to go north to fight in Beiyang?  !  There may be a glimmer of hope of victory relying on the defense of Hankou, but fighting against Beiyang, who are accustomed to fighting in the wild, and letting them take full advantage of their artillery fire that is no different than seeking death!

    He was right. Yang Qiu did want to take a gamble, but after weighing it again and again, he sighed: "Zian, Ziqing. You two should be the best officers in our right army. Let me ask youGuys, if you face two towns in Beiyang, three mixed associations, and the navy under Sa Tong, how long can you hold on?  "

    "Two towns, three associations, plus the navy!"

    Yang Qiu didn't notice that everyone's faces were already a little horrified. To be honest, if he hadn't been foresight, I'm afraid anyone in this era, even the best in the Hubei New Army, would change their expressions when hearing these names. What he was thinking just now  Is it possible to boldly strike first, but after a lot of struggle, I gave up. I am basically dead in an offensive battle with Beiyang, not to mention that Wuchang is still unclear about the enemy and us. The only thing that can be used now is that I am used to the complicated southern towns. After all, street fighting  It was a problem even for his generation in later generations.

    "Commander, with all due respect, there is no one in the country who can match the Beiyang Field War, so apart from relying on Hankou to expend one's energy and seek opportunities to survive, I can't think of another way!" Although I don't know why he said this, Yue  Peng immediately expressed his thoughts bluntly.

    "Yes." Yang Qiu sighed and murmured to himself: "If I have one year, why should I be afraid of Beiyang?"

    Song Ziqing, who had a sharp ear, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard these words. He found that the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit solemn and said with a smile: "The water will come and the earth will cover the soldiers. We are not vegetarians. After the meeting tomorrow morning, we will take Zhang Biao first."  Open the knife! Maybe once the cannon is fired, Zaifeng won't dare to come."

    The laughter of the crowd made Yang Qiu realize that he had lost his composure. He glanced at Song Ziqing gratefully and said with a smile: "So, it is difficult to find a general but it is easy to get a thousand armies. It is a blessing for the three towns to have your help."

    "Commander, that's so complimentary." Seeing that the atmosphere had relaxed a little, Xiao Anguo quickly changed the subject and said, "Commander, what do you think of Commander Yue's plan?"

    "Just hit him like this!" Yang Qiu's big hand pressed hard on Liu Jiaomiao.

    ??¡ª¡ª

    ??¡ª¡ª

    Inside the Xiyuan Gate of the Forbidden City, the Little Yellow Gate looked up at the stars in the sky, then glanced at the military aircraft department which was still brightly lit, oh, no, it was called the Cabinet instead, and yawned again.

    From noon to now, people have been coming in and out here without stopping. Everyone has a solemn expression. It is almost past midnight, no one is here, right?  Just as Xiao Huangmen was about to sneak away and find a place to take a nap, a crisp and powerful sound of footsteps came from outside. After seeing the person clearly, he quickly knelt down and said, "Good luck to Lord Baylor."

    Zai Tao had no intention of paying attention to a small yellow door. He threw the riding whip in his hand to Liang Bi and Li Jingmai, who had returned from Yongping with him overnight, and quickly walked into the cabinet office.  As soon as he entered the door, he saw the regent Zaifeng, Shanqi, and Pu Wei discussing quietly. Even the navy minister Zai Xun came to the side and said quickly: "How is it? How is Wuchang?"

    Although Zaitao is young, he is the minister of the Military Advisory Office. The Military Advisory Office is equivalent to the general staff of various European countries. It leads the mobilization of soldiers and horses across the country and has great power, so everyone saw him and stood up to say hello.  But he didn't like these red tapes, and he didn't even want to say hello, so he asked again: "I heard that the Hubei army rebelled, is this really true? This Ruicheng deserves to die!"

    Zai Xun hurriedly pulled him: "It's a telegram sent by Zhang Biao, the admiral of the Hubei Army. I heard from him that Wuchang has been occupied by the rebels, Ruicheng's life and death are unknown, and there are also people making trouble in Hankou and Hanyang."

    "What about Zhang Biao?"

    "Zhang Biao has retreated to Liujiamiao, captured the train station, and is waiting for the army to rush to support."

    Although Zai Tao was usually not upright, he still had some talent in the military. When he heard that Zhang Biao had captured the Liujiamiao Station on the Hanking-Beijing Railway, he nodded and said: "This aunt is still a bit prescient, but the Hubei Army  The elites are extraordinary, there will be a bloody battle, can you decide who will lead the troops there?"

    "The decision has been made and Yinchang has been ordered to go to Hubei to supervise the division to suppress the enemy. However, the deployment of those troops is still under consideration."

    "Yinchang?!" Zai Tao snorted in his nose, full of disdain, but he couldn't get involved in this matter, and it also involved the guy from Henan, so he couldn't let the tiger out easily, but he heard that these old men were still there  After considering which troops to send, he stamped his feet angrily and said: "Pull out the six towns of Beiyang directly. I don't believe that small Wuchang can stop it."

    Shanqi has always disliked Zai Tao's frivolity, but this unrest is of great importance. The Hubei army is the new army in the country after Beiyang. The stakes are very important, so he coughed twice before saying: "The six towns of Beiyang and the Imperial Guard need to defend the capital."  , how can we pull them all out? This matter still needs to be considered in detail."

    Seeing Shanqi talking, Zaitao did not dare to say anything. He only said: "No matter how you think about it, a large army must be mobilized south along the railway to support Zhang Biao immediately. If Liujiamiao Railway Station is lost, even Yinchang  It will cost Zhou Ze more when we arrive."

    "Zai Tao, don't worry, I've ordered Sa to freezeThe commanding navy sets out from Shanghai and can reach Wuchang in up to five days.  "

    After Zai Xun finished speaking, Zai Tao said: "The navy alone is not enough. We should order Baofen, the governor of Henan, to dispatch the 52nd patrol unit to Hankou nearby. The 52nd unit is not far from Xinyang at the moment and will meet at Liujiamiao Station.  Zhang Biao immediately sent his army to attack Hankou. As long as Hankou is captured and the army arrives, Hanyang and Wuchang will have nothing to fear."

    "Haha Zai Tao's brain is better. In my opinion, it will work. This will let the rebellious parties know the imperial court's determination to conquer, shake their military morale, and buy time for mobilizing other troops." Shanqi  Touching Chaozhu, he asked, "How's it going in Yongping?"

    "I have ordered the autumn exercise to be suspended. All troops are on standby. The second town has also made preparations and is packing up to go south."

    After hearing Zaitao's words, Shanqi nodded, picked up the list of soldiers and horses in each town and thought about it for a moment, then said: "The second town cannot be moved. Yongping's tens of thousands of troops are mixed together. It is a troubled time at this moment, so we must take precautions. I  It seems that it is better to adjust the first, fourth and fifth towns to take the lead, and then mix them into the 3rd and 11th associations to follow, and order the 52nd vanguard to support Zhang Biao as soon as possible. Do you think is this okay?  "

    "There is no problem in deploying troops, and there is no problem in uniting troops in Yinchang, but the candidates to command the three armies" Pu Wei glanced at everyone, and everyone knew what he meant. These three towns are all from Henan.  A direct descendant of the "patient", will this external transfer be?

    "Let's do this. Yinchang will lead the Fourth Town, Huncheng 3rd Association, and 11th Association as the Chinese Army, and let Feng Guozhang lead the Fifth Town as the Second Army. I will personally lead the First Town Guards to guard Beijing!" Zai Tao is impatient.  I didn't like the hesitation of these old men, so I decided to just roll up my sleeves and do it myself.  Regent Zaifeng was a person who did not take things seriously. He felt that Yinchang and Zaitao were both his own people, and Feng Guozhang was also more obedient in Beiyang, so he agreed to this plan.

    Faced with the sudden "rebellion" of the Hubei army, the Qing Dynasty responded very quickly this time.  From the time he got the news to dawn the next day, Zaifeng, who had stayed up all night, had already stamped the official letter of troop deployment with a big red seal. But at this moment, he didn¡¯t know that this rapid troop troop deployment to counter the rebellion would become a huge issue for both parties.  The last decision of the Central Empire that lasted for more than a hundred years.

    However, Emperor Puyi, who was supposed to be the country's top decision-maker, was still sleeping sweetly in his nanny's arms. He didn't know that his empire was shaking violently. He even knew that the war was about to begin, and the little emperor didn't know either.  what happened.
