Chapter 327 Preparations before leaving Hanyang
"Let's come to the east, how many days have we been to Hanyang?"
With a slight smile on his face, Li Han put the letter Zhao Shiyan asked to send on the table. He had a smile on his face, and anyone could tell that he was in a good mood, so the few people sitting in the room were no longer reserved.
Li Donglai calculated and said, "Mr. I will count it from the 27th to now, from the 27th day to the present!"
"Is that true, it's been seventeen days!"
Nodding, he smiled and looked at Xiong Bingkun, who accompanied Wu Zhaolin to visit him, and said with a smile: "Brother Zaigan, we are considered old friends. I admire Mr. Weisan's qualities very much. To be honest, if Li hadn't failed at that time during the revolution that day, I would have had a long time to drink and have had Mr. Weisan and I had long since had we been drinking and having fun!"
This morning, Xiong Bingkun suddenly sent someone to submit a visit, saying that he would bring a few old friends from Wuchang to visit him in the afternoon. At that time, he was guessing who would come, but he really guessed several of them. Now, no one of the people sitting in the same room with him is simple!
The man sitting in his second place in the costume of a general of the civilian army was Wu Xing, who graduated from the staff class of the Hubei Army Special Primary School and the General School Training Institute. He joined the Communist Party in his early years. During the Wuchang Uprising, the Wuchang Uprising broke out and served as the commander of the First Route and participated in the attack on the Governor General of Huguang. The Hubei Military Government was established and praised the plan of the military. The Wuhan Defense War was appointed as the commander of the front enemy of Liujiamiao in Hankou. After Hankou fell, he served as the chief of the combat chief of the General Command in the Wartime Command. After Huang Xing left Hubei, he had just taken office as the director of the Military Affairs Department of the Hubei Governor's Office. One of the few revolutionary heroes who were not squeezed out of the senior executives of the Hubei Military Government after the righteousness was made. Li Han had a good impression of him, because he took good care of himself during the temporary meeting on the night of the righteousness, and probably he had planned this point. He would only appear in front of Li Han today!
The first person he took was even more amazing. Wu Zhaolin, the former commander-in-chief of the Wuchang Uprising and the current commander-in-chief of the nursing, was nominally the supreme commander of all the civilian army in the three towns of Wuchang.
Xiong Bingkun doesn't need to explain the two sitting on the left. Since he was transferred to Hanyang to assist Li Han in supervising Hanyang's defense these days, he often ran to Li Han. Of course, in order to win him over, Li Han specially pulled out six newly produced 60mm breech guns from the Hanyang Arsenal for him. This was the first batch of artillery produced by the Hanyang Arsenal in several years. You should know that since a few years ago, the Hanyang Arsenal began to stop production of artillery. Although it was not produced for a few years, the machinery and technicians were there. It was not until now that Li Han felt that he had taken the risk of taking over the operation. The correctness of Hanyang Iron Factory and the arsenal was that just taking over Hanyang Arsenal allowed him to obtain more than 1,700 skilled technicians, and later more than 700 workers who had already mastered the preliminary production skills due to the war. In addition, the steel workers and technicians of the iron factory were about 6,000. Hanyang Iron Factory and the arsenal were worthy of being the largest steel joint enterprise in modern China. According to his own statistics, the value of this group of technicians alone was no less than 10 million taels. Because it took at least one year to cultivate a qualified skilled worker, what he lacked the most now was time.
Li Han, the general of the civilian army who sat with Xiong Bingkun, is not unfamiliar with Cai Jimin, the current chief of staff of the Hubei military government and the deputy minister of the logistics management department of the civilian army (the chief minister was originally Huang Xing, and he was vacant after Huang Xing left)!
With Xiong Bingkun, who holds thousands of civilian troops, these four are not simple characters. They came to visit Li Han today. If they said they were not willing, let alone others would not believe it, Li Han himself would not believe it.
"Li Shuai was joking!"
Wu Zhaolin smiled with emotion. Looking at the appearance of the heroic general who was younger than him in front of him, he even felt a little jealous when his mind was widening. It was not surprising that the young man in front of him was so outstanding. Several of them met each other because of the Wuchang Uprising on the night of the revolution. Speaking of which, he was killed by Li Han because of his old friend, and other thoughts arose in his heart. Even when Li Han chose to leave Hubei, he himself thought that it was Li Han to avoid it.
The game he chose was not to have a conflict with him and the Communist Party. The result was really beyond everyone's expectations. Unexpectedly, his escape took the entire game and he also promoted step by step. Now he has become a famous Jingchu garrison, and he is a powerful figure in the three provinces of Sichuan, Hubei and Henan. No wonder some people laughed at saying that although he is not the governor of a province, he is the first among the young generals who have risen in the revolution in China!
Li Han frowned slightly and said unhappy: "Did you fear that your third brother is still resentful and annoyed in your heart? Don't mention 'Li Shuai' again. Today, it is rare that we Wuchang generals can gather together. I will leave Hanyang soon to deal with Sichuan affairs. I don't know when we will meet again next time!"
He pretended to be unhappy, but a few people suddenly heard him say he was about to leave soon. Wu Zhaolin and others were a little surprised, not sure whether what he said was true or false!
Wu Zhaolin, Cai Jimin and Wu Xinghan looked at each other and looked at Xiong Bingkun, who had been familiar with Li Han for a while. He knew it and smiled, "What's wrong, why did Yi Zhiyuan leave Hanyang at this time?"
Li Han rubbed his temples, his face seemed to be quite distressed and said, "Okay, everyone. There are no outsiders here. I have already understood your intentions today. Although I don't know if you were invited by Governor Li, or Minister Sun or others, let's make it open and honest."
His face was not fake. In fact, since the news that he led a large army to support the three towns in Wuchang a few days ago, he began to worry about his days. There were more covetous eyes and more hostility around him, so that some of his original plans could not be implemented according to the plan. You should know that he had planned to see if he could intervene in the upcoming North-South peace talks, but he did not think of this code. What made him even more angry was that even Li Donglai's Intelligence Department could not track down any useful information. It can only be said that the opponent hidden behind the darkness this time was too cunning. When Li Donglai tracked down the place where the initial news came out, he found that all the clues had become impossible to track down with the deaths of the few people who had first started to spread!
However, his anger also made him confirm that the one who could use this move to force him to express his opinion must be one of the several forces he listed before. However, now it is impossible to determine whether it is the cunning Li Yuanhong or the comeback Sun Wu, or the powerful Tongmenghui, or even the Qing army beside him!
Since the three towns in Wuchang were rumored that he was going to take the governor of Hubei, Li Han knew that someone would definitely come to visit him, but he didn't expect that this time the people who came to visit him would be these people.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that I want to compete for the position of Hubei Governor. You guys, there is no need to say more. We have rarely contacted each other since Wuchang's righteousness. But this issue has been gathered together all at once. I guess we have been entrusted by others!"
The few people were silent, only Xiong Bingkun sat aside without any other expression. He had always led troops to fight against the Qing army, and rarely stayed in Wuchang to end the factional struggles, so he was the most carefree this time! He even had the intention of instigating Li Han to fight for the Hubei Governor!
Li Han wanted to continue the topic, "Let's be honest and honest. I have no intention of the position of governor of Hubei. So, no matter who can be able to persuade a few of you to come, please help me go back and answer. As long as he agrees to me with a condition, Li will leave Hanyang soon, what about?"
Several people looked at each other and Wu Zhaolin said, "Since Li Shuai is happy, we will not hide it. Please forgive me. Now the situation in Wuchang is already chaotic enough, but it is not suitable to continue chaotic!"
Li Han nodded, "I won't ask more about anyone you have been instructed by you. If you are the ones from the Tongmenghui, I will go back and say to me. Li has no desire to compete for the position of governor Hubei, but I will decide the position of governor Sichuan. It will be better for Li to say in advance. Whether it is Chengdu, southern Sichuan, or middle Sichuan, it will be bad if I make any disputes after I free up my hands!"
This is the first time Li Han admitted his covetousness towards Sichuan in front of outsiders. Now his layout in Sichuan has mastered more than half of Sichuan's territory. After the trip to Hanyang is over, it will be time for him to launch a full-scale attack on Sichuan!
Cai Jimin's hand trembled with the teacup, and suddenly the teacup was unstable and a lot of tea spilled out. He quickly started to clean up for himself in a hurry.
Wu Zhaolin's face sank. Although he was personally admitted that he was unwilling to compete for the position of governor of Hubei, the few of them were relieved. However, when facing this young man who was once under him, he had grown into a strong person who could control the situation in the three provinces, Wu Zhaolin, who was once the commander-in-chief of the Wuchang Uprising, felt a sense of loss in his heart.
However, he was not an ordinary person after all, so he quickly stopped his mind and said, "If Li Shuai has any request, just make it. Although we are here by someone else's instructions, there is still some power. As long as it is not too much, we can decide!"
Li Han waved his hand, and the intelligence officer next to him immediately understood and pulled out two maps from the map scroll in front of his desk and placed them in front of him.
After Li Han took a look, he opened it. It was not the same as the Hanyang Arsenal and Hanyang Iron Factory scale map!
After spreading the map and showing it to several people, he smiled and said, "Wuchang does not seem to have a suitable operator, which has led to the performance of these two industries, which once claimed to be the number one in Asia, was not very good in the past. So, I want it!"
The few people were in their hearts. Although he had arranged heavy troops near the arsenal and iron factory, and even set up machine guns and forts, and no one could enter and exit two places without his order. And the second order he issued after accepting was to raise workers, technicians, etc. in two factories, and all the money was brought from him from Hubei! All of this showed his interest in these two Hanyang heavy industries, and someone had even given instructions before coming, but when he really said it, the few people were still shocked. You must know that these two places are worth more than ten million industries. It was almost empty for more than ten years that Huguang Finance had only made the first place in Asia with white silver!
However, although it was heartbroken, everyone understood that the person in front of him was not a party member, and judging from his usual style, he was a ruthless character who only recognized strength but not people. Although he was heartbroken, he had already given instructions and he could temporarily agree to him. After the peace talks between the north and the south are over, the military government may as well fight for him after it is freed.
At this moment, Wu Zhaolin, who seemed to be the leader of several people, nodded and responded, "No problem, Wuchang does not have a suitable person to operate. Since Li Shuai has a suitable operator, it is perfect for Hanyang to take over the two industries in Hanyang now!"
Li Han understood what he meant, sneered in his heart, but seemed to not understand, and smiled and said, "Good, everyone agreed to my request, so give me two days of preparation time, and Li will leave Hanyang soon."
