Chapter 222 A Battle that Can't Be Lose (3)
"Just just now, I ordered the General Staff Office to formulate a northward combat plan. If we cannot win this time, the revolution in the province will die. The Qing army went south to a total of 40,000. Once the Hankou army reunited, the large-scale revolutionary situation that I sold my head and shed blood to fight was no longer there. Now, as the supreme commander of the military government in the central Hubei and the inspector of the five prefectures of Jingxiang, I made the following decision!"
Li Han said this and stopped. A staff officer who had been standing straight behind him immediately took a step forward in understanding, opened a document, and read it loudly to everyone present.
"The order for the first, seventh and eighth-Band soldiers who have arrived in Xiaogan are ordered to rest for an hour and prepare for attack immediately; order the first, seventh and eighth-Bands to select the first battalion, and the first-Bands to be temporarily commanded by Chen Mukun, the first-Bands to go to the station of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangshui Town, as the vanguard, immediately take over the city defense of Guangshui Station and block all information and must not be leaked; order the rest of the troops to wait for the car to transfer."
Sitting quietly in his seat, Li Han looked at the subordinates in the conference room who were carefully listening to the plans formulated by the Advisory Office. In fact, he was doing this "Chunxiao" plan almost from beginning to end. The Advisory Office basically did nothing except taking the map and drawing circles.
There was no way, he didn't have a qualified staff officer.
After rubbing the forehead that had been sore for the past few days, Li Han finally understood why so many ancient kings died young in history, and there was no one available in his hands. He had to do everything himself, and how much energy he had to do enough to make ends meet.
He sighed, and he had made up his mind. After this incident, he would draw his officers in batches and hand them over to the recruited Western veterans to supplement their professional knowledge for several months.
Moreover, it was too slow to cultivate talents by themselves. After the Northern Line was stabilized, his goal was to have a lot of talents in the country at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. For example, of course, it is not the time to relax your vigilance.
Li Han shook his head fiercely and sneered in his heart: "Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai, I didn't expect that Li Han would become your dish on the plate. Humph, I want me to be your stepping stone, and first use Wang Shizhen to defeat the Hubei Central Military Government that I worked hard on. Then I took the opportunity to negotiate terms with the Qing Dynasty Zonggui and the great ministers. I didn't know that I had wanted to borrow your Beiyang Army to take over. Since you dare to come, don't blame me for accepting the Sixth Town. Hubei Military Government, Sun Wu, Li Yuanhong, Juzheng, Juzhong is not as good as Wuchang? I was about to take the opportunity to start my Li Han's sign. I don't believe it. I have prepared so much for this battle. Can't I still eat a Sixth Town? Since I'm here this time, don't leave!"
He was secretly ruthless in his heart. If he could, he actually didn't want to face Yuan Shikai directly now. He was afraid that he could permanently engrave his name in history by a figure who could defeat the Chinese heroes of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. He was afraid that he could not find any adjectives to describe it except the heroes, but he was extremely afraid of him.
But Li Han is not a soft persimmon that everyone has kneaded. Since Yuan Datou has already shown his big knife, then the matter of Sichuan will be temporarily put aside when he goes to western Hubei. Just in time, the central Hubei military government does need this opportunity to remove the word "公" and express his reputation as Li Han.
After all, although he did not remember this history very clearly, he also vaguely remembered that during this period, the revolutionary military government in Hubei, which should be the most of the world, was attracted by the attention of most of the world. However, the three towns of Wuchang retreated under the command of Huang Xing. They first lost Hankou, then Hanyang, and finally they were almost beaten across the river and attacked Wuchang Prefecture!
If it weren't for this period of time, the revolutionary situation in other provinces in China was surging, and Hubei's "war achievements" would have come from the later peace talks between the north and the south, and the Qing court abdicated.
After all, it was the words of Taizu, that power emerged from the gun, and Li Han was a social Darwinist religious 100% respecting the "iron fist"!
Moreover, after this battle, there will be no major battle on the Northern Front. It is time to gather people's expectations and win reputation. If he can defeat the Beiyang Army, then his position as the second-largest force in Hubei will have to be replaced with Wuchang!
The number one general in the revolutionary camp, he is going to decide this title!
One month later in history, it was time for peace talks between the north and the south. This battle was not a question of how to win, but a question of winning. In order to defeat the Beiyang Army, Li Han almost spared his own expenses. He bet on all his capital, and all the power that the military government could mobilize was concentrated in his hands!
If he wins, he will be a hero of the revolutionary camp and will gain the real attention and support of a European power, and the military government will also enter the fast lane of rapid expansion.
If he loses, he may only be a small person in the history of the Republic of China. If he misses this best era, he really has no chance to turn the tables.
Li Han must win this battle!
"Report to the Grand Marshal, the combat plan has been read out, please give instructions!"
"Very good me"
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"
The staff officer next to him had just reported to him that the plan had been read out. Li Han was about to speak out and said the meeting was over when he heard the door of the dispatch room ringing. With a creaking sound, his guard captain Lu San walked in.
"Report to the Grandmaster, there are soldiers from the Ministry of Justice outside who come to inform you that lunch has been delivered, you can see."
After hearing his prompt, Chen Mukun, who was sitting on the side of his left hand, stood up and saluted, "Master, it was the man who ordered people to go over and prepare in advance!"
Li Han nodded and smiled, "It's you who are intent, I really forgot about this. How about it? Is the lunch from the army to the north ready?"
"Go back to Da Zheng, I have notified the Ministry of Justice to be responsible for the preparation!"
"That's good," Li Han nodded, obviously satisfied, "Lu San, ask them to come in, we will use it here. By the way, notify the person in charge of dispatching at the station and ask him to speed up the preparation. The three of us have a total of more than 5,900 people, and we must all arrive at Guangshui Station before night!"
"yes!"
Lu San saluted, turned around and left the room.
"Hehe, the lunch meal is good today. Come and have a meal time. Don't be restrained, just talk freely!"
"Yes, Grandmaster!"
The lunch was soon brought in by a team of soldiers, and the work meal was very convenient to prepare. This can be seen from here alone. In general, Li Han was still satisfied. Although he is not able to affect all levels of society now, the military government, especially the branches under some counties closer to Yingcheng, had to do it according to the programming he mandatory.
This not only brings the distance between people closer, but also makes it much more convenient to prepare lunch!
Seeing Ji Yulin coming over with food, Li Han was stunned and knew that he was afraid he had something to say to him. He said to a staff officer next to him and immediately made a free seat for him!
"I've disturbed Dashen's meal, please don't blame him. But the vocational department is a little confused in my heart, and I want to discuss with Dashen!"
Ji Yulin came to him and thanked the staff member who gave up his vacant seat, and then spoke in a low voice.
"It's okay, sit down and let's have a meal and chat!"
Li Han smiled and told him not to be restrained. He hoped that this young officer with good command ability would be able to take it to his own use, so he was very easy to talk to.
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Ji Yulin sat down and took out the chopsticks like he did, but he didn't do it. Instead, he really started asking at this time.
"The Ministry of Justice is a little confused. Now 100,000 Qing troops are heading south in a mighty way, and nearly 40,000 of them are about to attack our military government. But can the Ministry of Justice be prepared for the military government? How to deal with such a dangerous situation!"
He stared at Li Han with flickering eyes. Li Han was stunned by his question. His skills in his hands were slower. He swallowed the things in his mouth, and then raised his head and looked at him!
Chapter completed!
