Chapter 299 Zhijiang (1)
The Qing court is almost over!
This probably is what everyone is thinking recently. Almost as the voice of Henan's righteousness spread all over the world, Guangdong and Fujian responded to righteousness. In the terrified eyes of some people, the provinces south of the Yangtze River have basically all been put into the revolutionary camp. What remains is that there may be a few areas in the province that still have some Qing troops, but they can no longer pose any threat.
Taking advantage of this great situation, Li Han took his men out of Yingcheng and headed south overnight. He arrived at Jingzhou Prefecture with quick horses that night.
On the second day, the former Zhijiang County Government Office was originally in the Zhijiang County Military and Political Branch.
"The scenery of the north is frozen thousands of miles away, and snow falls thousands of miles away. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there are only the vastness; the river is rising and falling, and the river is suddenly lost. The mountains are dancing silver snakes, and the wax figures are originally scattered, and they want to compete with the heavens. On a sunny day, they look at the red dress and are particularly charming. The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to compete for their waists. Regardless of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, they lose their literary talent; Tang Zong and Song ancestors were slightly inferior to the charming. A generation of geniuses, Genghis Khan, only knew how to bending their bows and shooting eagles. They all went there, and there were several romantic figures, and they looked at the present day."
After writing a poem about Qinyuanchun Xue, Li Han stopped writing and resting. A guard next to him came forward, handed a towel and wiped the Han water from his forehead. Li Han smiled a little more and said with a high smile: "Sir, look at my late-born brush now, I'm now accustomed to have entered the door!"
It turned out that he was practicing his rough and incredible calligraphy.
Chen Tianxiang laughed aside. He still remembered the calligraphy of Dashen's incredible brush and calligraphy. I don't know how many private discussions he had attracted. He also advised Li Han to practice hard, but he was not accepted by him. In the end, Zhang Meisheng urged him several times, and then he asked Li Han to practice brushes for one hour a day.
Zhang Meisheng sat down aside. The sun was warm today. The seat he was sitting near the window. The warm sun was pouring down. It was rare that God had cleared up all these days. The Shayang Dike finally completed most of the project in just ten days with the help of the military government. Now that the several batches of dust purchased before have been used up, the remaining projects had to wait until the goods were transported from Wuchang before they could continue to be reworked. Therefore, it was rare for him to calm down in the past two days.
When Zhang Meisheng heard him speak, he hurriedly put down the purple clay teapot in his hand. This purple clay teapot is not simple. According to legend, it was a teapot that was the most suitable for him that a stranger who tasted all the famous teas in the world during the Qianlong period and worked with the craftsman. It took him ten years to build a teapot that was the most suitable for him. It was a treasure collected by a native of Shayang who escaped from Anhui decades ago to avoid the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Rebellion. This time, Zhang Meisheng took over Shayang instead of the military government, and personally dispatched troops and even sent soldiers to help build the Shayang embankment to benefit the land. It is said that the largest section of the embankment built in Shayang Town has not only been renamed "Zhang Gong Di", but the master also found out that Zhang Meisheng had tasted tea with him in addition to antique calligraphy and paintings. He gave him the purple clay teapot that had been passed down from his home for several generations.
Of course, this is what Zhang Meisheng said. Li Han sent someone to check it out and found that there was no personal fraud during the process of repairing the embankment. After seizing the silver for building the embankment, he turned a blind eye and pretended that he didn't know about it!
"Qinyuanchun·Snow?"
Zhang Meisheng took the manuscript he handed over, and when he saw the name, he was stunned and realized that the master of love had written a lyrics!
He chuckled, looking at the handwriting on the paper, I was afraid it was not as good as when he first entered the private school. However, when he thought that the Grandmaster lived abroad for a long time and had not touched this thing passed down by his ancestors for many years, he stopped criticizing it and looked at the poem with all his heart!
"The scenery of the north is full of ice, snow is floating thousands of miles... Good lyrics, great courage. I only know that the commander is proficient in military affairs and Western learning. I didn't expect that the commander even wrote lyrics so magnificently. I see that this article will surely spread to the world in the future!"
Zhang Meisheng praised in surprise, his expression was not at all artificial!
Li Han smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. This is not a word I wrote. It was written by a stranger when I was abroad. He was a rare master of lyrics at that time and a revolutionary!"
Seeing Chen Tianxiang's curious eyes, he simply pressed the manuscript paper on the table with an inkstone, and then waved his hand, "Okay, let's get back to the point. My study course today is over. Boyong, you have been here for a while, and you will tell me what good news has it brought!"
"yes!"
Chen Tianxiang saluted, then picked up his notebook and read it: "At 5:00 pm on November 10, the Yichang Tang Sacred Division led its troops to Xiangyang. Chief of Staff Ma used telegrams and had given rations and supplies according to reciprocity standards. Tang Sacred Division took office as commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army and ordered all departments to gather. Chief of Staff Ma followed the previous agreement and told us that the Tang Sacred Division allowed us to form a separate association to go north. Tang had agreed that the Northern Expedition Army had announced the Northern Expedition after sacrificing 7:00 this morning. At present, the vanguard troops have arrived at the provincial border and will exchange fire with the Qing army in Nanyang at noon at the latest!"
"This is good news!"
Li Han smiled and said that the guards on the side brought him a basin of clean water early. After washing away the ink on his hands, he wiped the water stains, and then he put on the hat he placed on one side!
"Have you eaten by sir?"
Seeing that noon was approaching, Li Han asked Zhang Meisheng with a smile.
"It's still time to use some meals, but the Grand Marshal... The big leader you asked Adjutant Li to find had arrived in Jingzhou last night. When we arrived just now, he had already arrived at the county government office. Do you see if you want to see me?"
Zhang Meisheng reminded one side.
"oh?"
He was surprised, "Why, how long has that big leader been here? Why didn't anyone come to inform me?"
"The talent has arrived for a while, and he brought many brothers here. He needed more time to settle, so he delayed some time!"
Li Han nodded and asked Chen Tianxiang: "Does there any latest war report on the staff? Let's explain it together... I will go to see that big leader in person later. When it comes to revolution, they are seniors, but we can't neglect him!"
"yes……"
Chen Tianxiang flipped through the notebook in his hand and said, "Master, there are two more... I will read together!"
"Um!"
"On November 10, the King of Heavenly Reigns of Henan, Yang's troops were in Luoyang. After hearing the news that our Hubei New Army had launched a Northern Expedition, they joined forces with Luoyang to march south, hoping to join forces with the Northern Expedition Army to attack Nanyang. On the same day, the Qing army outside Pingjing Pass withdrew one part of the troops and defended the remaining troops. According to spies from Xinyang, they inquired about the news that last night a part of the Qing army went out of the city in the dark at night. Wherever they went, they were suspected to be supporting Nanyang!"
"On the 10th, the Qing army continued to attack Hanyang. Huang Xing, the commander-in-chief of the Hankou Civilian Army, went to the front line to supervise the formation during the war. He was accidentally hit by a stray bullet and simply scratched a layer of skin. According to the news from Hanyang, more than 2,000 civilians have died in the past two days, and countless losses have been lost, especially the artillery losses. It is reported that Huang Xing had crossed the river last night to Wuchang to visit the Minister of Military Affairs Sun Wu and the General General Li Yuanhong, and wanted the military government to order the mobilization of Hubei.
The army gathered in Hanyang to meet the enemy, and especially mentioned that we wanted to transfer our Hubei troops to the army, but Sun Wu refused. However, today, Ju Zhengzhen went to the Grand Governor's Office and secretly discussed with Li Governor Li for an hour. The specific situation was unknown. News came from Macheng that several Qing warships lost contact and were unknown. According to inquiries, Feng Guozhang, the president of the First Army, had ordered the Qing army in Huangzhou and other places to gather in Hankou to supplement the lost forces and strive to capture Hanyang as soon as possible!"
"There is another letter to the Wuchang Grand Governor's Office!"
Li Han and Zhang Meisheng looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Meisheng touched his beard and said, "It's better not to read this!"
Li Han nodded and smiled, but he still took the letter and smiled, and said with a high voice: "If as Mr. expected, Li Yuanhong has a lot of support for me now, even if he knew that our military government wanted to take Yichang, he could only agree to us. However, Mr.'s plan to draw cakes is the supreme trick. Henan... Henan Tongmenghui wanted to be with him, so I just wrote a secret letter, wanting to massage one of Tang, Yang and Zhang as the governor of Henan, and willing to provide the food and grass needed by the Northern Expedition Army, so he gave him a sigh! Although he did not mention the content of the secret discussion in his heart, Mr. Please see what this is..."
He smiled and pointed to the letter to Li Yuanhong who had just given him a new official position. Zhang Meisheng looked closely and was immediately happy: "Jingchu Guardian, good... Yichang has been in my ward!"
Where is Jingchu? Hubei is commonly known as Jingchu land... Li Yuanhong's move is very clever. He has already seen that Li Han and him are not a member of the same journey. However, at this time, he still has to win over him. So he promised this Jingchu garrison who is famous, but Li Han had already made up his mind to annex most of Hubei Province while the Hubei military government was unable to control other areas of Hubei.
It is really very suitable for Jingchu Guardian to be with him!
"Yes, now the Wuchang divisions are afraid of war, and they are often dissatisfied with Huang Keqiang and are unwilling to obey his command. Although the civilian army is not bad, it is not as convenient as our Hubei-zhong. It is reasonable to be suppressed by the Qing army at a disadvantage. However, if I don't send troops, there will be no soldiers in Wuchang. It is best to let him transfer all the troops from Yichang, and it is best to send troops to take over Yichang... The Second Association has been stopped in Jingzhou for a long time, and it is time to move!"
He smiled and immediately signed the secret letter with his name, stamped the seal, and handed the secret letter to Chen Tianxiang, "Send someone to send it to the city of Response to Adjutant Li!"
"yes!"
Li Han made a gesture, and Zhang Meisheng immediately understood. The two of them left the house together. Under the guidance of several soldiers, they rushed to the house where the man Zhang Meisheng mentioned before!
"Sir, please use tea!"
"I'm thankful for this guy!"
In an elegant garden in the Zhijiang Branch of the Hubei Branch Military Government, a middle-aged man with white face who looked about forty smiled at the young soldier who was pouring tea for him, picked up the tea that the young soldier poured for him, and took a sip!
"Good tea!"
His eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but suddenly he felt a suffocation in his chest. He covered his chest and coughed a few times, but he did not forget to take out a handkerchief from the pocket of his jacket and wipe the corners of his mouth... Not long after, after the cough stopped, he took a breath and took a deep breath... His face was pale but thicker.
"Brother, it doesn't matter?"
A black-faced man next to him who was bored to look at the map asked harshly.
The middle-aged man with white face felt warm in his heart. Seeing the caring eyes of several brothers surrounding him, he nodded with a smile. He spread his handkerchief and looked at it. The blood-red touch on the handkerchief was so dazzling. The people around him felt tight in their hearts and stopped talking.
After a long time, a black-faced man stood up impatiently, "Brother, it's him, Sun Wen, now he, now, why should we get involved? You are in a bad health? Brother Bai Nian suggests that you should keep it honestly for half a year... Even if you are not worried about brothers and revolution, if the situation is today, it is the time for the great revolution. Please go back with me and raise it well for a while!"
"The fourth brother, how did you speak?" The middle-aged man with white face glared at him, and his face was unhappy, "Mr. Sun... Why are Mr. Sun sorry for us? Don't talk nonsense in the future, so that outsiders can hear it badly. My body doesn't matter. Now is the key point of the revolution. While I still have some strength, I should run around more and try my best to do my best to do my best to make my great cause!"
"snort……"
The black-faced man snorted coldly, "Brother, when did you still protect him...Mr. Sun...Mr. Sun, he is worthy of being called Mr. Sun. Since the 32nd year of Guangxu, we have tried all the strength in our hands, how does his Tongmenghui deal with us now? Back then, I had someone in my hands, and I was not the fourth master and the fourth master shouted, now... Remember that you called me Fourth Master, and I didn't even give me a look at me. How long have we been in Changsha? Now, they are fine, and they just come forward to force us directly.
Leaving. These two-faced villains are now tied up with the new army and look down on us brothers from the sect... Hunan... How good was Sun Yat-sen said before? Didn't Hunan leave it to you? As a result... As a result, the surname Jiao was disloyal and relied on his relationship with Wuchang, he wouldn't look at us! Tongmenghui... Hum... Tongmenghui would rather support Tan Yankai, who is not in the same way as us, and would never mention recommending his elder brother as the "Grand Governor of the Hunan Military Government" again! In terms of revolutionary qualifications, is it..."
The black-faced man was obviously full of anger, and he ignored the fact that there were several military soldiers guarding outside the door, and the more he spoke, he became more and more excessive.
"Fourth, stop talking...hehe..."
The middle-aged man with white face was so angry that his face looked ugly. He hurriedly stopped him from speaking, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was so angry that he coughed again. As a result, the blood red on the white handkerchief became more and more dazzling!
"Fourth Master, please say less..."
"Yes, Fourth Brother... This is not a place to talk!"
The rest of the people in the room persuaded him. The black-faced man saw that he was so angry that his face turned pale, and he felt a lot of regret. He wanted to slap himself a few times, but in the end he was still stubborn and turned his head away, and stopped talking!
"Ahem... Hey... Lao Si, this is not a place to speak. If you have any words, let's go back and talk about it!"
The middle-aged man with white face didn't feel anything like that, but this place was someone else's place after all. He put away his handkerchief, waved his hand with a wry smile, and signaled that everyone would do it.
It turned out that I heard the footsteps outside, the sound of the soldiers guarding outside the courtyard having experienced it!
The crowd quickly returned to their seats and stopped talking!
It was Li Han and Zhang Meisheng who came. Because they had been delayed for a while, but as soon as they entered the yard, his voice came into the ears of everyone in the room.
"I'm very sorry, I've delayed the military affairs for some time... I've been waiting for you for a long time... I've seen several people here after the latecomer Li Han!"
He took Zhang Meisheng, Chen Tianxiang and several advisers. As soon as he entered the house, he saw several burly men sitting in the hall. The man in the leader was about forty years old, with a white face and a square face. He didn't look like a leading boss who ran around the world, but more like a rural tutor. Seeing his pale face, he obviously should be in health.
"Senior, I dare not be a good person. I am Gong Chuntai, I pay homage to the inspector." As soon as he entered the house, the man in charge of the leader Li Han noticed stood up and greeted him. Although he was a leader in the martial arts world, the smell of martial arts world was very weak.
"I've seen the inspector!"
With him taking the lead, the men who walked with him naturally stood up to greet him, but most of them performed boxing ceremony with a full taste of martial arts.
Li Han was also free and easy. Although he looked down on those forces who were under the banner of revolution and did shameful activities, he respected the seniors in front of him who really deserved the word "society". He learned from the crowd and clasped his fists and said, "You can bear it... You can bear it. Gong Longtou is out of the way. All the seniors must be old seniors from the Hongjiang Association, which led the Pingliuli Uprising back then. Li has greeted you here. Don't be restrained... Please sit down quickly."
The crowd looked at each other, then politely greeted each other, and said, "Please!" They sat down and waited for him to speak.
Yes, the one he sent to Hunan to find was the "Pingliuli Uprising" that shocked the Qing court... Gong Chuntai, the leader of the Million Hongjiang Association, who was known as the leading leader!
Gong Chuntai smiled bitterly and said, "You are polite... I heard that Lord Lord sent someone to find me, and he brought a group of brothers to meet each other. But when will the Lord come to meet each other, Gong dared not guess it. As a result, he still can't guess in his heart. Why did he send someone to Changsha to find me?"
Li Han poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Gong Longtou is out of sight, don't 'shoulder' be 'shoulder' be 'shoulder' be 'shoulder' be 'shoulder' be 'shoulder' be 'shoulder'. Speaking of seniority, Yi Zhi had just returned to China to join the revolution, so he naturally could not be more effective than you... A few years ago, the Chinese National Army had created the morale of the Han people in the world. The 'average land rights' proposed by the seniors of Hongjianghui will be kept in history, no less than the 'Celestial Land System' of Hong Xiuquan during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It is to truly seek a fair statement for the common people in the world... You really deserve this senior!"
