    By the time Tang Hualong and Hu Ruilin arrived at the Hanyang Right Army Camp, it was getting dark. However, the scene in front of them still shocked them. They saw that the campus was already full of carriages, deer and firewood, military rations, raincoats, and other items.  There is a huge machine gun!  Ammunition boxes were being moved into the car in piles. The young recruits who had just joined the army during the day all rolled up their sleeves. While looking at the veterans who were preparing to leave with envy, they worked hard as temporary porters.

    "What are you doing?" Tang Hualong couldn't hold himself back and asked the guard leading the way.

    "The commander has ordered the Northern Expedition, and the brothers are preparing to head north overnight." Leading the way for the two men were soldiers from Laoba Town who had just crossed the river from Wuchang a few days ago. In his eyes, whether the previously lifeless Laoba Town was still  The Wuchang Left Route Army in chaos at the moment was not as full of vitality and vigor as here. Especially after the victory at Liujiamiao during the day, everyone's spirits were aroused, so when it came to this time, they were called by the officers.  The battle for liberation in the Little Northern Expedition was filled with passion even from the corners of his eyebrows.

    But these words were undoubtedly a thunder in the ears of the two people nearby!  Northern Expedition?  !  Oh my God, isn't this man too whimsical?  I want to go to the Northern Expedition right now!  The soldiers were surprised when they saw the two men, and laughed loudly: "You two adults guessed wrong. It's not a nationwide Northern Expedition, but a small Northern Expedition! Go north and regain the entire Hubei!"

    They both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it was not the Great Northern Expedition, but before their hearts had completely calmed down, they were incited to beat wildly again by the last words "Liberate the whole of Hubei", Hubei?  !  Tang Hualong didn't believe that Yang Qiu would cross the river to challenge Wuchang's authority at this moment. But the problem is that Wuchang is south of the Yangtze River and accounts for less than 10% of Hubei!  If he goes north now, doesn't that mean Guaiguai Longdi Cave!  Hu Ruilin had a Yangzhou mantra in his heart: If this Little Northern Expedition is successful, 90% of the land in Hubei will have the surname Yang!

    But the problem is that he can only defeat two men and horses at the moment, and the party members in Wuchang have a heavy army in hand. Isn't he afraid that the army will be taken over by others after they go out?  !  Tang Hualong, who had already regarded Yang Qiu as a collaborator of the Constitutionalists, heard that the Little Northern Expedition was about to take place. His face changed and he stamped his feet and said, "It's unwise and unwise!"

    The soldier glanced at the fair-faced Chairman Tang, and was very disdainful for doubting the commander. When he saw Yang Qiu talking to Yue Peng under the street lamp, he immediately ran over and saluted and reported: "Commander, Chairman Tang and Congressman Hu are here.  "

    "Brother Jiwu and Councilor Hu, you are rare guests." Yang Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, took Tang Hualong's hand and said with a smile: "Brother, I was talking about you two just now, but this time I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao  arrive."

    "Although Hu has grown a few years older, he can't be as dedicated as Chen Hua at such a young age. Why don't we call him Old Master Zi Hua like Ji Wu?" Hu Ruilin said a few words of self-effacement and asked: "Chen Hua, what I just heard  The soldiers said, are you planninga small Northern Expedition?"

    The dispatch of the army cannot be concealed from others. There is no need to tell lies on this issue, so Yang Qiu raised his head: "Destroying the remaining enemies of Liujiamiao is equivalent to completely recovering the three towns of Hanjiang River, but the Manchu Tatars still rule the vast Hubei area. Since  Revolution! We can't let them dominate anymore, we must get rid of these vampires attached to the people of Hubei as soon as possible, and give the people a bright future!"

    These words were spoken loudly and powerfully, making Tang Hualong think he was still showing off at this moment, but now it is really time for the constitutionalists to find a backer immediately. The future of Li Yuanhong in Wuchang is unclear, so they can only bet on him for the time being.  He felt dissatisfied and reminded him kindly: "Brother Chenhua, I'm not saying this to be depressing for you. Now you're just one of two people. Are you too hasty? Besides, I can't help with the ordnance matters during the day today."  ¡­.¡±

    "Brother Jiwu, there is no need to blame yourself. I believe that the ordnance issue will be solved naturally after Governor Li takes office." Yang Qiu waved his hand and said: "My decision to march north today was not a rash move. It is a foregone conclusion that the army from the north will come, and the three towns  There are thousands of Qing troops entrenched outside. If we can't be defeated as soon as possible, we can't concentrate on dealing with the Northern enemy! Although Chen Hua only has a few brothers who will follow him to death, we are soldiers and we can't stop fighting just because we are small in number.  ! So I ask Brother Jiwu and Brother Zihu to take me to tell the people of the three towns, please rest assured that Chen Hua¡¯s determination to protect the three towns will never change."

    Seeing that he was determined to make a small Northern Expedition, even the soldiers began to line up and set off. The two of them knew that they could not stop them, so they could only take one step at a time, hoping that Wuchang would not do anything drastic and cut off the thread that they were rarely able to hold.  broken.

    The expressions of the two people were all captured by Yang Qiu. He knew best the desire of these constitutional parties for power, especially military power. For this reason, Tang Hualong in the parallel world also racked his brains to persuade Ju Zheng, and made a ""  The "Organizational Regulations of the Wuchang Military Government" eventually allowed Li Yuanhong to monopolize power and eventually squeeze out the party members. The first fruits of the Literary Society and the Joint Progress Association became the peaches of others. Even the murder of Zhang Zhenwu strictly came from this.

    So I will wait until I see you offAfter the soldiers, he immediately changed his worried look, turned around and asked Zhang Wenjing deliberately: "The northward march has begun, and the good news will definitely come back soon. Have you finished the list of civil affairs in each county that I asked you to draw up?"

    What is the civil affairs list of each county?

    Zhang Wenjing scratched his head, didn¡¯t he know about this?  Fortunately, he reacted quickly. When he saw the two people next to him suddenly pricking up their ears, he guessed what Yang Qiu was going to do. Could it be that he was acting on purpose: "Commander, it's not like you don't know that we are all soldiers carrying guns. So what?  How many canhey!"

    "Idiot!" Yang Qiu deliberately cursed, pointing to Tang Hualong with bright eyes beside him and said: "Speaker Tang and Councilor Hu are both senior congressmen, and they are both top leaders in civil affairs. They have such talents in their pockets.  If there are too many, you won¡¯t take the initiative to ask for advice?!¡±

    Tang Hualong didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, so he pretended to be humble and said: "Chen Hua complimented me, Tang is so capable, but speaking of civil affairs, there are still some things he can offer.  "

    "Did you hear that? Learn more!" Yang Qiu pretended to glare at Zhang Wenjing, who smiled secretly in his heart and quickly handed over his hand: "Wenjing doesn't understand civil affairs, I hope the two adults will not hesitate to give you some advice."

    Yang Qiu also smiled and said: "Brothers, don't keep it to yourself. Civil affairs is really a headache for Yang Qiu. You might as well use all the talents you have. Hubei is in urgent need of it."

    Tang Hualong and Hu Ruilin knew that it would be difficult for them to gain military power themselves, so they had already been thinking about civil affairs. When they heard what he said, they immediately patted their chests and promised to recommend talented people to him to help manage it.  Yang Qiu had no choice. Compared with Beiyang, where the trees were big and deep, he was really poor in this aspect, so he had to temporarily get together with these constitutionalists, but he couldn't watch the trend be ruined again, and in the end he was unlucky.  He said with a face: "The civil affairs selection depends on two people. We must ensure the logistics needs of our army's northward march! It's just that Chen Hua had an ugly saying earlier. It is now a new government. You must not recommend anyone.  What a mess, and they still have to accept military control before overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty!"

    "Chen Hua, don't worry. We will face the national crisis together when the enemy is approaching, and we will never do anything that will drag down the army." After Tang Hualong finished speaking, he hurriedly pulled Hu Ruilin to leave, preparing to give them a portion overnight to reassure them.  The list that can reassure Yang Qiu is out.

    Looking at the two people disappearing into the darkness, Yang Qiu's eyes turned cold: "Remember! The police, tax, and customs must be our people! This point is absolutely non-negotiable!" Zhang Wenjing nodded heavily.

    Before the aftermath of Liujiamiao had dissipated, the news that the Right Route Army had set off again caused a commotion, especially in Wuchang, which was across the river. Although everyone had the intention to advance northward, because Li Yuanhong had not officially taken up the post,  The commander-in-chief and the army were leaderless and could only watch the three arrows of the right army heading north.

    "No, it must be changed!"

    The atmosphere in the small meeting room of the Wuchang Consultative Bureau was tense. Liu Gong and other party members summoned overnight looked unhappy. Sun Wu, whose face was covered with gauze, slapped the table, and the stern look in his eyes pierced the river. To him, this shortcoming  Just three days is like three years, because there are so many things that are unexpected!

    First of all, due to insufficient internal preparations and his accidental injury, Li Yuanhong had to be carried out after the uprising was successful. This made Li Yuanhong, who had long coveted the governor of the capital, face the dilemma of being inferior to others, and in the past few days, the old troops in the new army  Most of them supported Li, and Yang Qiu even threatened him with military force!  In addition, the loss of control in Hankou and Hanyang led to the unexpected rise of Yang Qiu and the inexplicable birth of the Right Route Army, which greatly weakened the revolutionary forces, especially in Hankou, the richest city, and Hanyang, the gun factory with complete armament industry.  Many ambitions cannot be realized.

    What¡¯s even more irritating is that Yang Qiu actually goes one step further. Not only does he control the arsenal, but he shamelessly sends people to beg for arms and supplies!  In addition to today's battle at Liujiamiao, the Right Route Army and his nondescript Flying Tiger Flag have become a well-known symbol of the revolutionary army in the two towns on the other side. It has even spread here in Wuchang, but the Eighteen-Star Flag is gray.  A lot.

    This breath is really hard to swallow!

    "Sun Wu" After calming down, Liu Gong felt that what he did in the afternoon seemed to be too much. He thought about it and said, "Do you think we should provide a batch of ordnance to that side?"

    Sun Wu exchanged glances with Zhang Zhenwu next to him, and gritted his teeth and said: "No! Yang Qiu is already showing signs of competing with us. If he provides so many more weapons, he can quickly expand to tens of thousands of people. That  Who can still contain him?"

    "You can't say that." Xiong Bingkun is an officer after all, and he is well aware of the current situation: "Beiyang's two towns and three associations, plus the other affiliated armies, there are at least thirty to forty thousand! In addition, Beiyang has always been elite, and the soldiers are as brave as the generals.  , one-on-one is not something we can stop. If Hankou falls, I¡¯m afraid Wuchang will not be able to protect it either.??!  "

    "It is precisely because he cannot protect Hankou that this is the best opportunity to contain him. As long as Hankou cannot be protected, he and his right-wing army will be blamed immediately! We can fully recharge our batteries and wait for him and his  If Beiyang takes action when it is a life-and-death battle, then he will be able to completely control the three towns in one fell swoop and bring the whole country together!" As soon as Sun Wugao finished speaking, Xiong Bingkun stood up suddenly and said loudly: "No! There are dozens of people in Hankou alone.  Ten thousand people, you are making a joke with human lives, who will believe us in the future if word spreads?"

    This sentence also resonated with many party officers present, especially the old people in the literary club, because most of them were born and raised in Hubei. Unlike outside organizations like the Gongjin Association, they naturally did not want to see the hard work.  Years of hard work were ruined.

    Although Sun Wu couldn't stand these "mud-legged people", after all, the literary society controlled the most important gun at the moment. Although he was full of anger, he had to suppress it temporarily and said: "I don't mean to abandon Hanyang and let the Tatars  I just said that when he can no longer hold on, we will immediately send troops to replace him, so that the people will know who is really good for them."

    Xiong Bingkun didn¡¯t believe Sun Wu, but since he had said this, he couldn¡¯t continue to accuse him, and said: ¡°Anyway, I still said what I said, the three towns belong to each other, like a tripod, and if one of them is missing, the whole situation will be defeated!¡±

    "Zai Qian is right, you should not give up Hankou until you have to." Liu Gong was afraid of a quarrel, so he quickly came out to be the peacemaker and said, "By the way, why haven't you seen Bo Kui yet?"

    "We don't know either. After being chased by the city patrol camp on Xiaochao Street that night, there was no trace of anyone. We opened the cell and found no trace of him." Zhang Zhenwu said, "Maybe I ran back to Yichang for temporary shelter. I think I'll wait until 41st bidder comes back tomorrow."  That¡¯s clear.¡±

    "Nonsense, an agreed-upon commander-in-chief is not in his position at such a critical time. It's really Forget it, let's talk about the governor first." Sun Wu used the topic and said: "These few days  Japan and I have been in Hankou, and there are constant reports from the other side of the river that Li Yuanhong is very popular with old military officers. How can this be done?! The success of the uprising is the fruit of our many years of hard work, and we cannot ask an old military officer to rob it."

    "Isn't this a strategy that was agreed upon beforehand?" Zhan Dabei, who had just been released from Hankou Prison, said: "If something happens to you, elect Li Yuanhong as temporary governor, and then abolish it after we gradually control the military and administrative powers.  He, not to mention that before the uprising, we had already invited Huang Xing and Wu Luzhen to come to Hubei to take charge of the plan. As long as any one of them comes, there will be a candidate for the official governor."

    Sun Wu secretly resented that he had said so before the incident, but he was not really dead!  These people were using this rhetoric to justify themselves. They were obviously afraid that Gongjin would take over the power, and they quickly said: "Well, we don't have to wait for them to come. The success of Shouyi is in Wuchang and Hubei, so of course we should choose among us.  "

    Xiong Bingkun heard the implication of Sun Wu's words and immediately objected: "We have had disputes over leadership before. Now that the uprising has been successful, we cannot bring up the old matter again. We should wait until either Huang Xing or Wu Luzhen returns to Hubei. What's more, at this moment, the army  The situation is unstable and there is a formidable enemy. We need someone who is familiar with the art of war to lead us. You and I are not the candidates to lead us through this disaster. Besides, the notices to calm the people have been posted, and the nationwide power supply has been sent out early.  Isn¡¯t it too late to say this?¡±

    Unexpectedly, Xiong Bingkun was so disrespectful to him. Sun Wu's eyes behind the gauze were a little more serious and he said: "If you don't know the military, you can't lead troops? With my revolutionary spirit, I may not be afraid of Beiyang. Besides, Yang Qiu has already raised his  The troops are launching a small Northern Expedition, if we don¡¯t come up with a candidate to lead the army, how can we convince the people?"

    His words were really a bit nonsense, and even Cai Jimin was a little annoyed, saying: "Yang Qiu has already issued an announcement to only appoint the commander of the right army, and also elected Li Yuanhong as the commander, leaving the left army free! Look at him today  His troops are no more than a group of men and horses that can fight, and the rest are new recruits who can't even use a gun. Seeing that the Tatar army is about to arrive, even if he wants to seize power, how can he compare to the tens of thousands of our elite soldiers?  ? But just now Li Chok Tong told me that Liu Ying in Beijing had already taken the title of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Hubei and Hubei Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and issued an announcement to attack the Qing court in this name. I will wait until here to announce it.  How long did it take before he quickly followed up, what¡¯s going on?!¡±

    This sentence made Sun Wu feel a little embarrassed. Everyone knew that Liu Ying was his. It had been agreed at the previous meeting that Sun Wu would be the governor of Shouyi and he would be the deputy governor.  But now the situation has changed, Li Yuanhong has become the Grand Governor, and his position as Deputy Governor naturally does not live up to his name.  Zhang Zhenwu, who was standing next to him, saw that both Xiong Bingkun and Cai Jimin supported Li Yuanhong, and became even more dissatisfied. He pulled out his gun and stood up, saying: "I support Sun Wu. We are waiting for the revolution to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establish a republic. How can we appoint old officials? I will kill them right now."  he!"

    Deng Yulin is really in the cornerNow he was tired of the quarrel and muttered: "Go ahead. If you are not afraid that there will be a split in the army tomorrow morning and the soldiers will cross the river to go to Yang Qiu, then go and kill him."

    After he said this, Zhang Zhenwu really didn't dare to take action. Everyone knew that the morale of the army was unstable these days. The soldiers would draw their guns and start fighting at the slightest sign of trouble. In the past three days, hundreds of people have died in Wuchang City. Even the old officers  Several people died. If the trouble continues, I'm afraid the other side will really benefit from it.

    Fortunately, Mr. Liu was a tactful person and immediately pulled Zhang Zhenwu to sit down: "Okay, okay, don't fight anymore. The matter of nominating Li Yuanhong has been decided for the time being. We will discuss it after Huang Xing and the others arrive. Now that the enemy is facing us, even if it is a  Even though he has an empty reputation, he is asked to sit down and stabilize the morale of the army first."

    Since Liu Gong said this, everyone has no choice but not to discuss the matter for the time being, but the quarrel between the literary club and the joint advancement club has deepened a lot.  Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, there were hurried footsteps outside the door. Li Chodong walked in excitedly holding a telegram: "Ju Zheng and Tan Renfeng are coming. This is the telegram I just received, saying that they have arrived in Jiujiang. A few days at the latest."  Will come soon."

    Hearing these two names, Mr. Liu finally felt relieved. Sun Wu also looked out at the dark night, his eyes shining as if he was making an important decision.
