Chapter 273 Good news! Good news (2)
"Sir, your horse whip!"
Sun Wu had tidied up his military uniform. Next to him, a soldier had already brought his whip. It was obvious that he wanted to ride a horse to his office as usual, and he seemed to be completely unworried about the Qing soldiers and assassination forces who had not yet been cleared in the city.
He frowned, and his face felt a little displeasure, "I have said so many times, don't learn from the Qing court's tricks, just call me the chief, the minister!"
“Yes…yes!”
The soldiers under his command naturally did not dare to refute, so they hurriedly bowed and bowed to him, and held his favorite whip in both hands and delivered it to him.
Even if Sun Wu was not happy with his appearance, he was too lazy to see him, so he had to turn sideways, grab his beloved horse whip, and ask the deputy who was waiting on the side, "Is there any latest news from Xiangyang?"
He asked in a hurry. Since Li Han wrote to him that day to express his loyalty, the news that the Qing army in Nanyang went south on the night of the 28th had been ordered by him as soon as possible. Naturally, someone handed over the news that the Qing army had already moved south to Sun Wu's table, and handed it to Sun Wu's military department, and also the list of Hubei requested material assistance. From rifles, bullets, artillery, ammunition, and even officers and ordnance repairmen, he did not leave behind. He was really not polite to Sun Wu at all. He frowned and mentioned that the war on Hubei had begun on the Tongmenghui side. It was best not to pull the back of his feet recently, so he directly suppressed the material assistance order sent by Hubei.
He, Sun Wu, had no idea of being a sucker.
"Return to the commander, there is... the subordinate has sorted it out. Do you want to see it now?"
His deputy knew very well about his personality. Although he asked, he had sorted out the latest Xiangyang and Northern Line information sent by Ezhong last night and handed it to him together!
As expected, although Sun Wu did not say it, he directly took the information he handed over and started reading it.
"Hey, I didn't see that Ezhong is indeed a bit powerful. Then Li Yizhi is a handsome man. It is really not easy to manage the power of appearing in a remote and lonely place, and it is rare!"
The battle report he received was just a report on Xiangyang that Li Han ordered to copy and send. However, the information about the victory of Wushengguan was temporarily detained at that time. He wanted to make the "Voice of China" newspapers famous, so he had to wait until the newspaper was arranged and then order people to deliver the newly prepared newspaper to his hands.
Although the war in Gucheng County and Xiangyang area is not good for the Hubei branch military government, the situation in the north has been surging recently, especially yesterday, Zhang Shaozeng, the commander of the 20th town of the New Army, who was known as "one of the three non-commissioned officers" and was also famous among the revolutionary party, and after Zhang Shaozeng, the commander of the 20th town of the New Army, wanted to carry out the military rebellion, not only he believed that Tan Renfeng, the old fox, but also Huang Xing should have realized it. The court is very likely to draw tens of thousands of elite troops from south to go north to defend when facing the threat of "disruptive troops" from Shanxi, Shaanxi and Luanzhou, Zhili. After all, in the eyes of the Qing royal family powerful people who had long been corrupted by power and opium, their lives are the most important things.
Therefore, although the current Qing army's offensive is fierce, especially the 40,000 troops in Henan that are trying to go south along the Beijing-Han Railway, as long as Li Han can command the army of the Hubei Central Military Government to defend these days, I believe the court's transfer order will come in a few days at the latest!
There are no soldiers to defend in the northern border, and Fengtian’s new army cannot move. There are hungry wolf and tiger next to it. Now there are only a handful of soldiers that can be used!
"I can't keep it from swallowing a town when I can't help!"
He had a scheming in his mind, but he gave up quickly. The reason why Hubei Zhong had "many results" in the early stage was that although Li Han could keep up with his strategy and weapon supplies, the main reason was that the place he chose was really good with his opponents. Whether in Xiangyang, Liu Wenyu or Jingzhou, there were people standing in front of him to help him share a lot of pressure. If we really count the combat power of the two armies, Hubei Zhong was more than tens of thousands of civilian troops in the three towns of Wuchang. The Qing army went south was formed with the Sixth Town of Beiyang as the main force, and the civilian army also won fewer victories and more defeats, so naturally they dare not count on Hubei Zhong.
"Do you have to consider his request? Even if he really brought huge sums of money back to China, now the war is in chaos, and foreigners are on the pretext of fighting and unwilling to sell weapons and arms to our revolutionary party. Even if he has money, how much can he buy? What's more, there are more than 20,000 rifles and a lot of bullets in the Chuwangtai Ordnance. Moreover, we have the Hanyang Arsenal..."
Putting the information aside, Sun Wu secretly wondered whether he wanted to persuade the Tongmenghui to assist a batch of supplies in Hubei so that he would not fall at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Qing army southwards and to stabilize the northern line for the three Wuchang towns.
"Da da da da da~~~"
There was a burst of rapid footsteps outside, and it was obvious that the person who came was very anxious.
Seeing that he looked thoughtful and did not notice the movement outside, Sun Wu's adjutant had to go out and whisper, "What's going on?"
Outside, soldiers who were anxious to come from the Military Affairs Department reported: "When I say that, Hanchuan sent people to whip the newspapers sent by the Central Military Government just now. The Hubei branch military government came to report. Li Shuai led his army north and had already taken down Wusheng Pass and Pingjing Pass. He successfully set up an ambush outside Wusheng Pass and ambushed the Qing army southward. Li Chun's troops 21st Association and won the 'Wusheng Pass'!"
The soldier's face was obviously very excited, and he was holding a newspaper with a wrinkled hand. It was obvious that he was too excited and wrinkled the newspaper with too much force!
"What?"
There was a sigh of surprise from the side, but it was not what the adjutant said. It turned out that Sun Wu also heard the noise outside. After he had finished his military uniform, he walked out with a whip and happened to hear the excited civilian soldiers on the side!
"grown ups!"
The soldier was a guard of the Military Affairs Department. He often saw him, so he recognized him. He would salute him as soon as he saw him come out.
Sun Wu was impatient with these common etiquettes and urged him: "Give me the newspaper!"
"yes!"
Seeing that his scarred face was impatient, the soldier felt a little frightened and hurriedly handed him the newspaper.
"Voice of China!"
After buying it, he saw four big words on one side of the newspaper’s homepage, which were from Yi Junshi, who had extraordinary calligraphy and hidden temperament.
If Sun Wu, who was quite skilled in calligraphy, would definitely praise his good skills. But at this time, he was very interested in the war between the soldier's "Wusheng Pass" and the northern front, but he just glanced at the four words quickly.
"Voice of China? What newspaper? The second page? Could it be that Li Yizhi made a trick?"
He hurriedly scanned the name of the newspaper and found that he had never heard of it. After reading the layout and encoding, he realized that the second issue was in his hand, but he had already guessed in his heart that the newspaper was probably something Li Han made! No, because the Hubei military government also has newspapers that it supports, and uses newspapers to attract attention. Over the years, the Tongmenghui has made this skill very good.
"For the country to go to difficulties, it has been common throughout history... Now that the Qing army is heading south, the northern border war begins... More than 10,000 people in our Hubei were originally the Republic of China and the blood is shed... The Eighteen-Star Flag is flying high, and only with our will, it was originally built the first flesh-and-blood Great Wall for the Southern Revolution... If the war begins, guns and cannons will be fired, and the soldiers will be in power... Although the ammunition is gone, the cannons will be destroyed, but they will not retreat... Although the bayonets are on the chest, they are not afraid... The sword is dull, and the body comes to block it, and dare to ask the Qing army of the Tartars to take a step south..."
Looking at the slightly dark and blurry photos on the first page, Sun Wu was surprised and had a gloomy face, but he was more happy than sad. Especially when he saw the scene of the Qing army surrendering troops and the Wusheng Pass, he walked back and forth excitedly!
"The great victory of Wushengguan... What a great victory of Wushengguan, what a great military government in Hubei... What a great victory of Li Yizhi..."
He murmured to himself that with the unfavorable situation in Hankou, the morale of the civilian army in the three towns was obviously very low. Now it is time to need a big victory to boost morale!
Although he had a little more wrong with Huang Xing and the Tongmenghui, it was just a friction between the leadership of the military government within the revolution. After all, he was a revolutionary. At this moment, the first thing he thought about was how to take the opportunity to publicize it and encourage the morale of the three towns.
Thinking of Bian Di, Sun Wuqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, put the newspaper in his arms, and shouted: "Come on, go and bring my war horse!"
He was about to rush to the Military Affairs Department, and saw the adjutant beside him, and hurriedly ordered: "Go and invite the editor of Dajiang Newspaper and ask them to prepare the ink and manuscript... Forget it, we will talk in detail after they arrive!"
He was planning to take advantage of the dawn that day before dawn to invite the Dajiang Newspaper, which had just been reopened, and spread the news of the "Wusheng Pass" throughout the three towns of Wuchang!
"Yes, I'll do it now!"
