Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The night attack on Chenjia'ao destroyed the momentum of the Beiyang troops, but it could not change the overall pattern of Feng Huafu leading 30,000 elite Beiyang troops to suppress the border. Just when He Xifan learned that the night attack had begun and led the main force to rush to support, the same thing happened in the southwest  something far-reaching.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®¡¯)

    Before dawn, the city of Kunming is chaotic and gloomy. Since the Wuchang Uprising, the city has been full of wind and rain, and all kinds of gossip secretly circulated.  Some people say that Yang Qiu was a general who was secretly sent by Sun Wen to study foreign art of war in the United States and then returned to Hubei to help out. He defeated Beiyang outside Wusheng Pass and lost tens of thousands of soldiers, abandoning their helmets and armor!  He also said that Sichuan was also occupied by him, and that the Hunan and Jiangxi queens also listened to his orders and prepared for the Northern Expedition.  Some people say that the Tongmenghui has notified the whole country that in the near future, Lianghuai, Huguang, Shanxi, Shandong and even Zhili will hold events at the same time.  Some people even said that Sun Wen and Huang Xing had already sent people to Yunnan, and Kunming was already in danger.

    These rumors are true or false. The local officials are in a panic. Many people no longer dare to go to the Yamen to do business. They have reported illness at home with various reasons. More people have a vague excitement and seem to be looking forward to it.  A big change is coming.

    The 37th Associated Barracks in the 19th Town of the Yunnan New Army was silent. Only the general officers' dormitory on the left was still flickering with a flickering flame. The soldiers outside the door were armed with live ammunition as if they were facing the enemy. Inside the door was an oil lamp all night.  Cai E, who was still awake, was still energetic and polished the bullets.

    "The pressure on Hubei is getting bigger and bigger. I know Feng Huafu. Wusheng Pass was defeated because of the obstruction of Xiong Pass. Only Yang Qiu led the two associations to catch him off guard. Now that the city gate has been broken, it is difficult to lose again.  It's even harder." The speaker was Huang Yuying. He was originally from a wealthy family. When he was 18 years old, he went to Japan to study at his own expense. He attended Hongwen College and Dongbin School successively to study military affairs.

    When Huang Keqiang of the Tongmenghui was in trouble at the mouth of the river, he gladly accepted Sun Yat-sen's appointment and went to help.  At that time, he was only one month away from graduation.  After the failure of the Hekou incident, he continued to carry out activities in western Yunnan in an attempt to win again.  Traveling around in western Yunnan, I experienced many hardships, escaped death many times, and turned danger into safety, but I still remained the same as before and did not change my original intention.  (Read the novel in Chinese. '') Later, because he was infected with malaria, the Yongchang uprising failed again. He realized the importance of military strength, so he decided to change the way of fighting. He was admitted to the New Army and served as a trainee platoon leader at No. 73 Biao. Cai E got  Zhihou has also been secretly supporting him in his work.

    Tang Jiyao and Liu Cunhou, who were sitting next to them, also nodded. They had both studied at the Japanese Army Sergeant School for many years. Not only were they good friends, they also had extensive knowledge of domestic armies, especially Beiyang, which they repeatedly compared with the Yunnan New Army.  The training troops are also imitating Beiyang.  After hearing about the success of the Wuchang Uprising half a month ago, the two of them wanted to take action immediately, but Cai E suppressed them because they were not fully prepared. Now that they heard that Hubei has reached a critical juncture, they wanted to respond immediately.

    "Yesterday, Li Jingxi summoned Jin Yunpeng, Zhong Lin and others for a secret discussion. In the afternoon, he began to strengthen the guards at the east, west, south and north gates and transferred the guards there. Now there are elite leaders in the Governor's Office, the Ordnance Bureau, Wuhua Mountain, and the Nineteenth Town Headquarters.  , and there is news from the Governor's Mansion that they will disarm and disband the new army on the spot! If we don't take action, I'm afraid we will miss the opportunity." Tang Jiyao was impatient, so he held his arms and waited for Cai E's order.

    Cai E's status in the Yunnan New Army is like that of Li Yuanhong in Hubei. His military ability is even more incomparable to the latter's. In addition, he is currently the highest-ranking current officer in the Tongmenghui, and he has always believed that it is better to carry out revolution in the southwest than in the Central Plains and Jiangnan.  So the three of them looked at him and waited for a decision.

    "Yang Qiuyi." Cai E loaded the last bullet into the revolver and placed it next to him. He picked up the "Letter to Yuan Shikai" sent by Yang Qiu two days ago and the nationwide telegram for being elected commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces and asked with a frown:  "Have any of you ever heard of this man?"

    Tang Jiyao and Liu Cunhou immediately went to see Huang Yuying. After all, he had better connections in the party than the two of them. Unfortunately, the latter was also inexplicably surprised by the name. He shook his head and said, "I've been to Hubei a few times, and we attended meetings and literary clubs together."  Everyone knows me, but Yang Qiuyi is really unfamiliar to me!"

    Liu Cunhou thought about the recent rumors and asked in surprise: "Could it be that he really came back after being sent to the United States by Mr. Sun to study?"

    "Everyone still says that Sun Wu is the younger brother of Mr. Sun Wen?! In my opinion, no matter who he is, at least he has conquered all the Tatars, which is better than many of us. (Just read the text novel")  "Tang Jiyao said.

    Cai E didn't say anything and looked out the window quietly. In fact, he didn't really want to know who Yang Qiu was.  Throughout the millennium, in the turbulent years of changing dynasties, there were many heroes like this who rose from the ground. He was just a little surprised by the rumors that Yang Qiu had occupied Sichuan.  It has been groundless since ancient times. Regardless of whether Yang Qiu entered Sichuan or not, it at least shows that this person has ambitions for Sichuan.  His vision is much sharper than ordinary people. Sichuan is the center of the entire southwest, and it is also the most important cornerstone for the rapid growth of the southwest after the success of the uprising. Therefore, he has deduced before that the uprising will quicklyThe troops entered Sichuan to occupy the richest plain in western Sichuan, used the richness of western Sichuan to support the army, and then quickly advanced to Huguang to complete the great cause.  But I didn't expect that Hubei would be the first to start the war, and the person who led the troops had never heard of it. So would continuing to implement the original plan conflict with him?  What's more, this person is neither a party member nor a member of a noble family. He has risen to power almost by himself. Will he become a serious problem for people like me in the future?

    ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s too far away to think about this now, let¡¯s stabilize Yunnan first.  Cai E thought of this, grabbed the gun and inserted it into the holster: "Thank you for your respect, brothers should do their best, but after all, Li Jingxi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, is the nephew of Mr. Li Hongzhang, and he has a favor with me, I think."

    "It goes without saying, Songpa. We are not unreasonable people. In any case, Mr. Li did some good things for the country back then. As long as Li Jingxi does not obstruct the revolution, you have the final say on such small matters."

    "Okay, I'll write a letter of divorce and let him go to the French Concession for temporary refuge. After he leaves, I will immediately lead people to attack the southeast gate. Liu Xianye at the northwest gate is a coward, so Li Genyuan will lead the attack with the students from the Martial Arts Hall!  Cai E suddenly made up his mind: "Expel the barbarians, restore our Han Dynasty, and we will capture Kunming within nine days!"

    "Okay!" Tang Jiyao excitedly grabbed his hat and went to organize the army. The other two people also went out to prepare. After the three left, Cai E turned his head again and looked in the direction of Sichuan. After the success of the incident, he should retreat bravely or send troops to Sichuan.  Woolen cloth?

    Under the strange and unpredictable smoke and clouds of Xinhai, no one knew that the two most outstanding revolutionary armies of this era had actually looked beyond the whirlpool and cast their eyes on Sichuan, which was still in chaos.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®¡¯)

    At the same moment when the southwest storm broke out, the sun also rose from the Hubei plain. The warm sunshine blew away the coldness of the night. In the Liu family garden on Xinsheng Road, which was temporarily used as a field hospital, Miao Luo, dressed in a nurse's white robe, and everyone  At the same time, the sheets with blood stains still visible were stretched out on bamboo poles to dry.

    After Shouyi Night, the military government blocked the river and ordered all the ships in the three towns to be put under military control, causing the Yangtze Gang to lose their livelihood. So she was idle and simply joined the medical team. Because she had practiced martial arts since she was a child and grew up in the United States, she  He knows more about medical care than ordinary people, so he was hired immediately and came here. Due to the lack of doctors and medicines, the hospital's conditions have been very miserable. Fortunately, after Zhang Zhujun and others came from Shanghai yesterday to join, it finally started to look better.

    The ups and downs outside could not bypass this place. From the large numbers of wounded soldiers who were brought in every day, she also learned about the killing of the Liu brothers during the northern march, the tragic battle at Wusheng Pass, and the resignation of Sun Wu and others following the Xiaogan Incident.  , that person suddenly became the commander-in-chief, which gave her a feeling of palpitations and confusion.

    If anyone understands Yang Qiu's rise, she must be one of them. The first encounter in Sichuan, the assassination on the streets of Wuchang, the deal with Heshengyuan, the passionate speech at the swearing-in meeting, etc., all made it difficult for her to distinguish what was going on.  What a man!

    On the one hand, he is determined to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but on the other hand, he is incompatible with Mr. Song and others. What will his future look like?  While she was thinking wildly, there was suddenly another rush of shouting from the front yard, and dozens of stretchers were seen being carried in by soldiers. Moans and screams immediately covered the place again.  (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®¡¯)

    "Where did it come from?" Zhang Zhujun quickly became one of the council supervisors after arriving. When he saw the wounded soldier, he immediately asked for details.

    "We are coming from the Weidian. Yesterday, those sons of bitches from Beiyang 13th attacked us and killed more than a hundred brothers. These were all serious injuries. We have no way to treat them in front of us." The second lieutenant who brought the wounded soldiers had red eyes:  "Doctor, they will be left to you. Try to save them! Now the commander is personally leading people to attack the Beiyang Department of Chenjia'ao! He said that the enemy's large forces will definitely arrive this afternoon, and there will be a big battle tomorrow at the latest.  We have to rush back immediately! He also asked me to tell you that we must be prepared for the arrival of a large number of wounded soldiers."

    "The commander personally led the attack on Chenjia'ao?" Miao Luo quickly grasped this sentence, and his heart suddenly clenched for some reason. He was already the commander-in-chief, so why did he go to the front line just after coming down from Wusheng Pass?  ?  In a hurry, he didn't bother to think, and asked urgently: "You said Yang Qiu went to the front line again?"

    The second lieutenant felt a little unhappy when he saw this beautiful nurse calling Yang Qiu by his first name, but he was a doctor and the lives of his brothers were all in his hands, so he nodded and said, "Yes, we set off at midnight last night.  I took a battalion to hit a mark! The fight should be finished by now."

    One battalion with one mark?  !  Miao Luo felt like he was fainting. Was he crazy?  Just as she was about to continue to ask questions, a big hand next to her suddenly grabbed her.

    "elder brother?!"

    Miao Yuan, who was full of beards, hurriedly took Miao Luo across the river to meet Song Jiaoren, preparing to ask YangWhen something happened, an urgent telegram was quickly sent to the small conference room of the Advisory Bureau. When Sun Wu was in charge of military power, this was the staff headquarters. Now because Yang Qiu moved the headquarters and staff headquarters to Hankou, all of a sudden  It became deserted.

    "Great! Great!"

    "Keqiang, good news! The frontline attacked Chenjia'ao last night and killed hundreds of Beiyang people in one fell swoop. They also seized two machine guns, six cannons, and countless grain, fodder and ordnance!" Tian Tong excitedly waved the telegram and rushed  Entering the conference room, as soon as I entered the door, I saw that in addition to Li Yuanhong and Huang Song, there was another man in military uniform in the conference room.  Khaki, trimmed with gold, isn't this the attire of a northern officer?

    "Zi Qin, let me introduce to you. This is Brother Xiaoyuan. He has just come from the north to Wuchang to participate in the grand event." Huang Keqiang's introduction immediately reminded Tian Tong of one person, Li Shucheng, the military counselor of the Qing Dynasty.

    "Brother Tian Tong, we have heard about him for a long time. It is truly a blessing to see you today." Li Shucheng chuckled.  He was also a graduate of the Japanese Army Military Academy. At the founding meeting of the alliance held at Sakamoto Kinya's home in Akasaka District, Tokyo in 1QC5, he signed the alliance under the pseudonym Li Tang because he was worried about being investigated. After returning to China, he stayed in Guilin for a while.  Later he was transferred to serve in the Military Counselor's Office in Beijing. He was always regarded as a senior military talent as famous as Cai Songpo within the Tongmenghui.

    After the Wuchang Uprising, he and Huang Yong were sent by Zai Tao to assist Yinchang, but they said goodbye to the Qing Dynasty when they left the house. Huang Yong went to Shanghai to assist Chen Qimei. He heard that Beiyang was attacking Wuchang, so he detoured to Anhui last night.  arrival.

    Li Yuanhong¡¯s thoughts were all about how to win over Huang Keqiang and weaken Yang Qiushang, so he immediately changed the topic and asked: "What did Zi Qin just say about killing hundreds of people? But there is good news from the front line?"

    "That's right." Tian Tong immediately took out the telegram and said with a smile: "After Commander Yang arrived at the Weidian last night, he immediately led a battalion to attack Chenjia'ao at night and pushed back Beiyang No. 4 Town 13 Biao for more than 20 miles.  More than five hundred people were killed and injured, three hundred were captured, and a large amount of ordnance was seized.¡±

    Li Shucheng had heard about the situation just now, so he quickly took the telegram and read it carefully. He then walked to the map and studied it carefully. After a while, he clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful-! It's really wonderful-! Commander Yang is indeed a wise soldier.  Although the night attack was hasty, it knocked down Beiyang's energy and regained morale. In this way, even if Feng Huafu's army arrives, Xiaogan can sustain it for a few days."

    "Shucheng really thinks that Yang Qiu is a man who knows the military?" Song Jiaoren frowned and glanced at Li Yuanhong, who looked unhappy. This was what he was most worried about. Successful reports from the front line were a good thing, at least it showed the power of the revolution.  It is getting stronger day by day, but to this day, Yang Qiu is still unclear about the enemy and ourselves. Especially because of his birth and lack of any party background, people are very worried, fearing that he will separate the country and lead to internal strife in the revolution.

    "Of course." Li Shucheng didn't notice the expressions of several people and said with a smile: "On the way here yesterday, I was very worried when I heard about the Xiaogan Incident and the change of commander before the battle. Both of these are wartime taboos!  So I was also thinking that I should launch a counterattack as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the army, but I didn¡¯t expect that Commander Yang actually did it first, and also used the 13th standard to win the night attack when the foothold was not stable, which was much smarter than me.¡±

    Li Shucheng continued: "But you still need to be prepared. I have also contacted people like Feng Huafu in the Military Council in the past two years. If Beiyang really bites the bullet and fights this battle, I am afraid we will still win less and lose more, so I still hope  Just make plans early."

    Huang Keqiang was also worried about this. Although the current revolution was like a prairie fire, except for Hubei, the man in the north really didn't take action. He asked: "Yang Qiu sent a message the day before yesterday to persuade Yuan Shikai to withdraw his troops and give up his position as the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses.  But what¡¯s waiting is his cannon! From Xiaoyuan¡¯s perspective, what should we do?¡±

    "General Marshal of the Army. Haha." Li Shucheng chuckled: "Li Du, Keqiang, it's not because I have other people's ambitions. I'm afraid Yuan Gongbao really won't take this empty position seriously. In my opinion,

    He did not go on, but the three of them knew what he meant, especially Li Yuanhong and Song Jiaoren, who had previously thought about using that position to win over Yuan Shikai. Only Huang Keqiang did not express his position immediately. To be honest, he was unwilling to do so.  Yes, but if the fight continues, the Manchu and Qing government will probably benefit.

    Just when he was about to speak, Wang Anlan suddenly came to report: "Director Li, Mr. Huang. Someone from the north is here."
