Chapter 162 Gains and losses

"It's not in vain that I have been thinking hard every day for more than ten days and racking my brains. Now I'm just like seeing the arrival of this great situation. OK. OK. OK."

Li Han walked around the house excitedly, but the joy in his heart could not be suppressed.

He was filled with unimaginable pressure.

As for the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, his advantage as a prophet was not obvious. Moreover, the Chinese people in this era were self-reliant and self-contact. They looked at face, dignity and honor much heavier than those in later generations who had been thrown away for decades. Only looking at many separatist parties in later generations, warlords holding heavy troops would announce their severance in a panic under the condemnation of the people. In this era when it seemed chaotic in later generations, the power of the people was far stronger than decades later.

Li Han naturally knew that during this period, because of his wandering and strategy on the edge of the revolutionary line, he even deliberately wanted to downplay the revolutionary party's influence on him, and did not want to intervene in the chaos of power struggle in the south. As a result, many objections arose under his command. The suspicion that he was not a revolutionary but a revolutionary speculator had a growing noise and could not suppress the momentum.

The Intelligence Department has received a lot of news. Not only did many veterans in the Fourth Battalion, which he was originally in charge, they were privately objecting, not to mention that a group of celebrities in Hubei who have participated in the Hubei Central Military Government have discussed privately. It is no exaggeration to describe the current Hubei Central Military Government as a surging undercurrent.

A few days ago, Li Donglai entered the mansion late at night to inform him that he went to the Intelligence Department to find some very bad news. Among the veterans he brought from Wuchang, there were indeed many who yearn for revolution and began to gradually doubt his power. If Li Han had asked the Intelligence Department to take them down earlier, it would have been impossible now.

Due to the shortcomings of the officer group of the Central Hubei Revolutionary Army, many of them have become officers by taking advantage of several major wars and subsequent expansion of the army. Even now they have become company commanders, with several platoon leaders, and there are not a few squad leaders. Under their influence, many recruits who have just been recruited have gradually become suspicious of the military government. No, to be precise, they are Li Han who is standing behind the military government.

He suspected his inaction. When the three towns of Wuchang were in a desperate battle, he led the army and his troops were not inferior to Wuchang. Why did he not move?

Therefore, Li Han must win this battle. And he must win beauty.

Li Han, who had a special background, saw politics much more clearly than those immature young revolutionaries who had only passionate passion.

Revolution. What exactly is revolution? In the words of politicians, the existence of an interest group hinders the interests of other interest groups, so everyone united, defeated it and divided the interests that originally belonged to him.

Although it is unpleasant, it is just right to describe the Xinhai Revolution in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

The high pressure and treason of the Qing government harmed the interests of the people with the greatest potential; the Han style gradually emerged among the powerful ministers of the clan and nobles, and pushed the Han ministers, literati, gentry, and constitutional class to the revolutionary side; and the huge potential of the war in the Qing Empire made his ambitious old neighbor, the heart of Japan was full of panic, for fear that another lord of revival would appear (Taiwan and the United States had intelligence agencies deciphered some information about Japan after World War II, and some information showed that the death of Emperor Guangxu could not be separated from the Japanese.

It is said that before Emperor Guangxu passed away, the Japanese spy, Ryuichi Kokawa (Chinese name Yang Qiandong?) once visited Li Lianying and gave him a generous gift. Of course, Yuan Shikai was not an ordinary person, and he could not escape the relationship between Emperor Guangxu's death. In short, the cruelty of politics is far from what ordinary people can imagine), so the domestic monopoly consortium and extreme community Black Dragon will take action to support the Chinese revolutionary forces, trying to completely crush centralized rule with violent revolution, and put the old neighbor China into internal struggle and chaos. In fact, they did very successfully.

As for the revolutionary party, to be honest, the power of that time was far from being strong, the revolutionary party could only be regarded as the last key straw that crushed the Qing Empire. You have never seen why the southern provinces with the strongest revolutionary power were mostly fallen into the hands of the constitutionalists and the Hanchen Group. The revolutionary party at that time actually did not have much strength.

Li Han's foundation is too shallow. He knew that if he did not want to be the Southern Revolutionary Party in history that was once driven out of the ranks of winners and lay a solid foundation, the purity camp was what he needed to do most now.

Therefore, he is eager to win a big victory, which not only can break the current deadlock of the forces in the province, but also can take advantage of the situation to clean up the strange voices within the military government. Li Han could not allow himself to be involved in the power of the south soon. Therefore, the noises in the military government have always been the focus of his efforts.

"Okay. OK. OK"

After being so presumptuous for a while, Li Han calmed down his mood, and his expression returned to calm. He nodded at Chen Tianxiang and asked, "Boyong, what is the casualties over there?"

Chen Tianxiang saluted a military salute, "When he returned to the Grand Marshal, there were only a dozen soldiers in Chen's army who were slightly burned. However, the second standard suffered serious losses. Three hundred and forty-seven soldiers were killed in battle, fifty-one seriously injured, and more than seven hundred were slightly injured. Among them, most of the dead were new recruits. More than ten other people were missing, and it was suspected that they had escaped during the war!"

Li Han frowned, but it soon unfolded again. The military government's expansion this time was too large, and desertion was inevitable. However, the instructor group he hired was about to arrive. At that time, I believe that after the officers under his command had received a period of training, the morale of the soldiers' training would improve a lot.

"The loss of the second standard is a bit big." Li Han sighed, but he was not much sad. He also knew that relying on the military government's wealth, it was a lucky opportunity to be able to defeat the Qing army that went south.

"Also, Zhang Shuai informed the Grand Marshal that he had contacted the Shayang army of the former Jingshan Military Government, and the other party commander was Liu Tie among the 'Liu Brothers'."

"What is the loss of the civilian army now? How many war-making soldiers are there? Can they win over? Didn't the second batch of brands mention it?"

When he mentioned Jingshan, his brows that had just been stretched frowning. It was obvious that he was extremely afraid of the Liu brothers.

After all, the Liu family is a prominent family in Hubei, especially the influence near Jingshan is too great.

Chen Tianxiang flipped through the telegram, "When the general, the civilian army suffered heavy losses. The original 5,000 people are now less than 2,000, and it may be less than 1,550. Please forgive me. Because the civilian army was willing to cover up, Zhang Shuai could not get specific information. However, one thing is certain that the civilian army has exhausted ammunition and basically lost the power to fight again. Moreover, the defeated civilian army has long lost its courage, and the military government can try to win over, but Zhang Shuai estimated that as long as Liu Tie is still there, it may be more difficult to win over!

Li Han nodded and was about to ask about the Qing army's losses when he saw him open his mouth. Obviously, he had not finished speaking, so he signaled him to continue.

"Master General, Zhang Shuai asked the civilian army to ask our military government to supply ammunition, food and grass for it, if he agreed?"

He heard him snorting coldly, "He made a good plan, okay, the Liu brothers are not from our military government. Tell Zhang Bingqian and ask him to answer directly, saying that because we have not received military supplies from Wuchang, our military government's ammunition and guns have long been insufficient for expenditure, but the food and grass can be used with him. If it is not enough, please inform the Ministry of Justice and ask them to notify Yingcheng to transport another batch!"

Since leaving Wuchang, Li Han has not forgotten to ask for military funds from Wuchang, but he was sent by the Wuchang military government for the same reason that the imperial court blocked it, and the arsenal was not in sufficient construction and insufficient expenditure. If he hadn't had the source of guns, he wouldn't have said what to do now.

He waved his hand, signaled Chen Tianxiang to end the topic, and asked about the losses of the Qing army.

"It's good news for Liu Wenyu to be captured. I heard that half of Jingshan City had been looted in Yunnan. The accumulation of the Liu family for a hundred years made him take away all the energy. Let's take a look. Please report this news, as well as how much loss of the Qing army and how many captives were captured."
