    Hankou, National Defense Forces Headquarters.

    After the headquarters moved forward to Xiaogan, it was still very busy here. A steady stream of new soldiers sent from Yichang, Xiangyang and other places needed to be arranged for training immediately. The ammunition produced by the Hanyang factory every day was distributed, and the grain and fodder shipped from various places had to be loaded on trains and transported to the front line.  , there are still tens of thousands of civilians to manage, and it has started to rain again in the past two days. The collection of raincoats and boots from various places has made him overwhelmed.  These are not over yet. This morning Hang Zhi sent another telegram that Changsha has been captured!  He also informed Tan Yankai that the Fourth Division of the Hunan National Defense Force, composed of 20,000 young recruits, was led by Liu Yutang and would arrive in Yueyang five days later. They asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to allocate guns and ammunition as soon as possible. Faced with so many things, Zhang Wenjing, the new Military Affairs Ministry  The minister just felt his head was swollen.

    Since the foreign businessman refused the order on the grounds that the rain gear was military supplies, he was worried about where to go to find tens of thousands of urgently needed rain gear. He heard that another 20,000 troops would be added. Not only was he not happy, but his face turned pale. He heard the door creak.  It sounded again, and he said without even raising his head: "Either give me the rain gear, or get out!"

    "Haha, I don't have any rain gear. Do you want two thousand guns?"

    The familiar voice made Zhang Wenjing tremble. He raised his head and saw Song Qing with his hat on his head, leaning on the door frame with a smile and looking at him: "Not bad, the director has become a minister after not seeing you for a few days. After a while, I think the minister of defense will become a minister."  It¡¯s time.¡±

    "Fuck you! You are not the chief counselor anymore?!" Zhang Wenjing jumped up and hugged her hard, jokingly saying with a smile: "Sichuan girl is passionate, I thought you were too happy to miss Shu!"

    "I just thought, it's a pity that the smell scared me away." Song Qing smiled, poured a glass of water, put it in front of the table full of copywriting, pointed and said: "It seems that you are still really suffering"  "

    "That's not true, hey!" Zhang Wenjing expressed his bitterness: "Commander ran to the front to take command, but Commander Xiao said he didn't understand these things and only focused on training new recruits and the Hanyang factory. Now I'm almost a housekeeper! Look at it.  I am asked to raise 30,000 rain gear in five days. This morning, I also recruited 20,000 Hunan recruits in one breath. They are not afraid that Beiyang will not be defeated. We will support ourselves to death first! Pay will be closed tomorrow, and this time the whole army will  In order to pay for the compensation and combat allowance, the soldiers alone cost 12 yuan each, and the 20,000 Hunan recruits and company officers cost 300,000 yuan! My pocket is almost empty!"

    "Twenty thousand Hunan recruits!" Song Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't know about Yang Qiu's use of force against Hunan, so Zhang Wenjing immediately told the recent events in detail, and at the end he did not forget to say a few words: "  Twenty thousand recruits, 4,000 made in Hanyang, 3,000 Japanese Type 30 golden hook rifles, ten five-year-old seven-guns Now the number of recruits in Hanyang has surged to 5,000! Those guys don't know how to restrain themselves.  What are so many people doing? Chu Wangtai has bottomed out. Hanyang has been focusing on ammunition and grenades recently, and the German-made Mauser 98 recruits are no longer needed. Tell me where to find 10,000 guns and ammunition to supply them!"

    "Isn't the relationship between the commander and Germany very good? Don't you have any money? Can't you buy some more?"

    "The money can still be maintained. The Hanyang factory and Shen Shukai spent more than two million on purchases, and the German transaction cost more than one million. During this period, the new recruits' resettlement expenses, military pay and pensions were almost a million, and there were also many hired civilians and ships. You  After getting over a million, Hang Zhi said Tan Yankai would have to pay some blood when he went to Hunan. The rest would be enough to buy two divisions of rifles and ammunition.

    The problem is that we can¡¯t buy it even if we have money!  The German minister promised to sell the equipment of the three divisions when the war is over. We have all gone away in France and the United States, but now these ghosts have gathered together to support Yuan Shikai. There is no way to make up for it through formal channels.  In case of smuggling, the Yangtze River was blocked by the navy again.  "

    Song Qing didn¡¯t listen to these verbose words at all. In his opinion, the root cause of so many problems actually lies with Beiyang!  The foreigners gathered together to support Yuan Shikai because they wanted to find someone who could continue to maintain their interests after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, they refused to trade before the end of the war because they were all optimistic about Yuan Shikai. If they wanted to break the situation, they had to let the great powers see that they were like this.  Bian¡¯s strength!  Weak people are not respected.  So he immediately walked to the map, looked at it for a long time, exhaled, and said with a crooked corner of his mouth: "Commander Changsha made this move really hard! Kill three birds with one stone"

    "One stone, three birds? Why didn't I see those three birds?"

    Song Qing lowered his voice and said: "The first bird naturally suppressed Tan Yankai and uprooted people like Mei Xingan and Xingdian. Not only did he avenge Jiao and Chen and silence Youyou, but also established revolutionary prestige.  The fourth division was earned for nothing! The second one is the two who just came"

    "Huang Keqiang and Song Duchu?" Zhang Wenjingmei did not expect that Song Qing would think of them, but what does this matter have to do with them?  It was not clear when he saw him, but the latter immediately said: "These two are both from Hunan! Now that the army is pressing down on the border, they must rely on external forces if they want to move our National Defense Forces, just like the commander originally used the right flank toJust like swallowing the left wing, build a reputation and wait for us to fail, then we can seize power in one fell swoop!  But what now?  There were only less than 3,000 guns left by the Xiangyi Association that had just arrived, and they were gone within two or three days!  "

    Zhang Wenjing somewhat understood that Yang Qiu had directly dug out the roots of those two people this time!  But what is the third bird?

    "It's Governor Li!"

    "Director Li?!" After his heart shrank, Zhang Wenjing immediately understood. This was an obvious attempt to tell the old fox that since he could move Hunan, he could also move Wuchang right under his nose!  If Su Xiaohu and the Pioneer Brigade can work hard, by the time Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei are connected, even foreigners will have to face up to this!

    Seeing that he understood, Song Qing continued: "I am not worried about Sichuan now. The comrades lack weapons and cannot command. The chaos in Sichuan gave Zhao Erfeng a chance to survive. The three thousand border guards in his hands are more than enough to arm the party.  But it is difficult to stop Xiaohu! No matter what, we will have some wealth if we take Chengdu. If we take the artesian well, we can get a loan from the bank, and the military expenditure can basically be maintained. I am just worried that the commander will not take Tan Yankai this time it will be too late  He has been slow to move on from the position of governor, and he secretly supports the constitutionalists. I know he does not want the two provinces to be too unstable, but if this continues, it may not be a long-term solution! Now is the period of war, and we can use military control to hijack the civil rights.  Once the war is over these people will probably join hands, and it will be bad by then."

    Zhang Wenjing is a smart person and has thought about this problem for a long time, but he also knows Yang Qiu's difficulties.  In fact, they have all seen clearly over the past few months that Yang Qiu has skills, means and abilities, but he started too late in terms of connections and prestige. Now he has finally made a name for himself, but the same reputation as the old fox and Tan Yankai  The fate has also been announced to the world. Unless there is definite evidence, if you take action again, you will be bitten back and hurt the popularity you have finally built up.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????How to resolve the crisis of declining civil rights in the future?

    Song Qing smiled slightly: "Don't think about it. Maybe the commander has already had an idea. Let's be good soldiers and don't worry too much about these things. After all, the civil rights will be lost in the future Hum! As long as there are guns, those  No one dares to do anything to us!"

    He said this and made Zhang Wenjing feel a lot more relaxed. The topic gradually turned to the current battle situation. Both of them understood that although the situation was great now, if they lost, it would be a disaster for Yang Qiu and them!  Especially now that Xiaochang has fallen, it adds a bit of tension.

    Song and Qing Dynasties obviously have more say in military issues, but at present, they can only vaguely guess that Yang Qiu's insistence on keeping Xiaogan is probably to consume Beiyang's effective forces. He has not yet come up with a real decisive battle plan, and seems to be waiting for something.  The First Division is also a bit abnormal. Apart from sending small groups of troops to train troops and constantly harass the supply lines, there are almost no major actions!  Could it be that the real fist is that of Yue Peng?  He didn't know this yet. He needed to see Yang Qiu to find out. Thinking of this, he felt a little hot and immediately said: "The troops I brought back will have to rest in Hankou for a few days. They are all veterans and have good strength. Please prepare the equipment as soon as possible."  If you replace it, you will become an elite soldier."

    "Don't worry, I know this." Zhang Wenjing knew that he was going to the front line. He smiled and winked playfully towards Wuchang City outside the window: "I'm going to cross the river for business in a while, do you want to go first?"  Just look at the wonderful faces over there before leaving?"

    Things changed overnight in Changsha, Hunan. The past few days in Wuchang on the other side must have been extremely exciting. But he was not interested in these things. He shook his head and put on his hat again and walked out. For a soldier, what could be more enjoyable than fighting against the strongest army?  What about things?  Just as Song Qing thought, the city of Wuchang had been shrouded in miserable wind and heavy rain. While the sparse winter rain chilled the body, the news from Hunan was like a sap that caught many people off guard.

    In the governor's office on the second floor of the Consultative Bureau, Wang Anlan stood behind Li Yuanhong. When he saw him grabbing the pistol that Yang Qiu gave him, and constantly stroking the words "China's First Governor" on the handle, he knew that he was making his final choice.  , said quickly: "Director Li, one thought is anger, the other is foolishness! Now I'm afraid it's too late!"

    Wang Anlan's words made Li Yuanhong gradually let go of the gun handle.  The seemingly powerful Tan Yankai, Hunan, which claims to have four towns and 60,000 troops, was actually captured by two battalions without blood. What is the hidden tool behind this?  Even Tan Yankai, who was nimble and prudent in work, had to bow his head and allowed Yang Qiu to act. In the end, he simply gave up military power. Finally, he allowed Hang Zhi to be stationed in Changsha and took the initiative to reduce the selected four towns to provide for the Fourth Division.  Driven by people, what political exchanges took place on the night of September 14th?

    And this time Yang Qiu is so strong and high-profile!  Two days ago, they publicly hinted that they would catch the murderer. Two days later, they captured Changsha and killed Mei Xin and others for counter-revolutionary crimes. Hundreds of people died in a muddle throughout the night. I heard that Hunan Consultants  When the council was in session, half of the seats were lost!  IfThis set of tools is used in Wuchang

    Li Yuanhong felt cold, and finally put away the pistol. Wang Anlan was right, the opportunity was missed!  Maybe this generation will never come!  His vision is much far-reaching than that of ordinary people. This action was too decisive and ruthless, and his methods were even more powerful!  When the Fourth Division of the Hunan National Defense Force entered Yueyang, it was like a sword pointed directly at Wuchang's back. Yang Qiu knew that he could not shake his prestige in Hubei for the time being, so he simply took this opportunity to use Hunan's soldiers against him!

    Now he is gradually winning over people's hearts through fighting at the front, and is taking the opportunity to clean up Hunan and semi-surround Wuchang. In addition, another brigade has arrived in Chongqing and is about to go north to Chengdu Hubei, Hunan, and Sichuan are already faintly condensed in his palms.  Taken together, if the man from the north is forced to sit down and negotiatewho in the whole country would not want to look at his face?  !

    The news of the September 14th Incident in Changsha (November 4, 1911, September 14th on the lunar calendar) also reached Huang Keqiang's ears. Faced with the sudden changes in the situation in the two lakes, he no longer had the excitement he had when he first arrived, and looked worried.  To Song Jiaoren: "Dunchu, it seems that the situation here is not as good as what we heard in Shanghai. Yang Qiu is now using Beiyang to suppress the border to control the military power. Yesterday, he moved south from Changsha. Now not only can we not touch him, but we also have to  Seeing him encroaching on the two lakes and Sichuan little by little, I'm afraid if this continues"

    "I can understand your mood." Song Jiaoren leaned against the window, looking at the rainy and foggy Hankou with a lot of thoughts: "That Yang Qiu I can't understand it either, but judging from the past few days, he is still the enemy.  If you have a responsibility, at least in terms of justice, this person still stands firm."

    Huang Keqiang's face was full of sorrow and anger: "You can't say that. So many heroes worked hard to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Now when they see that great things are possible, they give them up and make wedding clothes for others. How can I be worthy of them?  "

    "But" Song Jiaoren wanted to say more, but when he saw Huang Keqiang, he seemed to have an idea and asked: "Keqiang, what are your plans?"

    Huang Keqiang immediately said: "I have contacted Tan Renfeng of Hunan, and he suggested that I serve as the governor of the two lakes, so that I can regain power."

    "Keqiang! You have to think carefully. If he is really appointed as the governor of the two lakes, not to mention Yang Qiu, Li Yuanhong and Tan Yankai will also have a rift in their hearts. If there is a complete falling out and the morale of the army is disrupted who can save the situation?"  This suggestion immediately brought to Song Jiaoren's mind the image of Huang Keqiang being scolded by everyone for grabbing power.  He knew that Huang Keqiang had no selfish motives, but the establishment of the governor of the two lakes was really suspected of snatching power. There were differences between the two factions in Hubei, but they would never tolerate anyone riding on them!  Immediately said: "I know your intention to re-centralize the power, and I agree with it! But it is already difficult to overturn the situation in the two lakes, unless it is Beiyang In my opinion, it is better to wait until after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and gradually weaken each place with laws.  power, and slowly centralize the power.¡±

    Huang Keqiang shook his head and raised his hand with a broken finger with determination: "Dunchu, you are right, but the great cause has just been accomplished, and the whole country is waiting to see Hubei. If I can't take control of the matter, I will be seized by Yang Qiu."  And with that, how can our party's reputation be used to face the whole country in the future?! I know this will attract countless infamy, but my heart is firm. Tomorrow I will personally lead the Hunan First Association to fight in Beiyang! As long as I can win a few games, it will be fine  Slowly seize his power, Dunchu, contact everyone in Wuchang, and wait for my triumphant day to convene a representative meeting to propose the governor of the two lakes!"

    These words were clear, but Song Jiaoren frowned: "Keqiang, since you have made up your mind, I will not dissuade you, but you must be careful at this time not to shake the morale of the army. What will happen to us?"  Now we need to cooperate sincerely to fight against the enemy!"

    "Don't worry, I still know this. Now Yang Qiu still needs our banner. I'm afraid he doesn't dare to throw it away at this time. Yang Qiu can establish his authority by winning battles. Huang Keqiang may not lose to me."  Him!" With Song Jiaoren's support, Huang Keqiang was very happy: "Selflessness means fearlessness. I have put life and death at risk for a long time. I am lucky to have survived the battle in Guangzhou. Only by protecting the party bravely in this life can I reward the martyrs who died!"
