Chapter 43: Conquering Chu Wangtai (1)

"Thank you, sir, for helping me..."

However, when Li Han was still recalling the information he had seen about this person in his mind, Xiong Bingkun, a young officer dressed in the New Army's Zhengwei officer's uniform behind Yan Zhongzhi, passed him and grabbed his hand excitedly... This new army low-level officer who looked not tall and even had a slightly fat cheek was Xiong Bingkun. The man who left a great reputation in history, Li Hanqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, and held him with a trembling hand, "Hello, I am almost the same age as Brother Xiong. If I don't mind, I will follow everyone and say 'Brother Dai', I don't know what to do..."

Although he was excited, Li Han quickly restrained himself and started talking to him with a smile.

Xiong Bingkun is also an open-minded person. Seeing that he is so easy to get along with, his heart is slightly warm and nodded in response.

"Well, you and I are the same age as each other, so I call you Brother Li. If you don't have Brother Li's help today, I'm afraid that there would be no success in my eight camps, nor will the upcoming Uprising in Wuchang and even the entire Hubei province. In any case, Brother Li deserves the first hero of this uprising........."

Xiong Bingkun said with emotion. When he heard that the Governor's Office sent two more teams to Chuwangtai for defense, he was already scared for a long time, but he didn't expect that this was the butterfly effect brought by Li Han. Instead, he was even more grateful that he had received the guns he donated, otherwise he would be unable to resist with just a few hidden weapons!

"Haha, there... there..."

However, although Xiong Bingkun didn't know this, could Li Han still not know about it? He could only laugh a few times and cover up the past modestly.

However, Xiong Bingkun and others really thought he was humble, and they even admired him a little more. Yan Zhongzhi also interrupted and chatted for a few words. At this time, Xiong Bingkun frowned and worried: "Oh, when discussing before, I never thought of the current situation. Not mentioning the hundreds of soldiers we captured, but it was just the command of hundreds of soldiers in the camp, which made me feel very worried..."

"Well, this is a difficult problem. When I saw the army that suddenly came out, I was also very panicked. If Brother Li hadn't suddenly stood up and turned it up, Huang Guoyun had reasonably guided the morale of our revolutionary soldiers, the consequences would have been unimaginable... Alas, yesterday's uprising leaked, most of the commanders of each battalion in the city were captured by the old thief Ruicheng, and now I can't contact Commander Sun and others... It's hard. Just look at the first part of our Eighth Battalion. If everyone in the city fights independently, there will be no unified command, which will inevitably affect the uprising..."

The person who answered the conversation was Cheng Zhengying. His eyes were a little purple. It turned out that he had been smashed by a soldier who had resisted with a gun before. He had stopped crying until now, but his eyes were red and purple, and even now it looked a little blurred!

"this……"

Hearing the feelings of these two people, Yan Zhongzhi obviously thought of something, but he seemed to be a little worried, so he just hesitated for a moment and did not continue the conversation.

However, Xiong Bingkun's eyes turned to his direction. He seemed to have some ideas when he saw him, but he didn't understand why he didn't say it. However, he was indeed interested in revolution, so he immediately asked, "What's wrong, Brother Yan. Do you have some ideas?"

After saying that, he looked at him expectantly, as if waiting for him to reply!

Nodded, but Yan Zhongzhi was still a little hesitant. After seeing the expectations on his faces, he brewed in his heart and finally said it: "Actually, my idea is simple, but you didn't expect it for a while! I had a communication with Brother Li before and knew that he had worked as an officer abroad and received formal military command education from Europe and the United States. He could handle the turmoil before easily, and his talent was even more unquestionable. Therefore, my idea was...if Brother Li didn't dislike him, he would ask him to advise us later, so that everyone could learn some Western marching command methods..."

What he said was so sleek that the person involved had to exclaim in his heart after hearing this. It was indeed a bit insignificant that this person would not become an official!

Indeed, most people in this camp saw that he had been calm in the face of danger and regaining morale. However, the eighth battalion was not the twenty-nine yards he was so brave that he was seldom awaiting the 29th yard. Li Han was indeed an outspoken outsider. When this opinion was made, in the hearts of some people who were calculating in their hearts, most of the new soldiers who participated in the righteousness were really eager to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, but for thousands of years since ancient times, the local concepts of the Chinese people were very serious. Of course, among the new army, the new army of Huguang relied on the large number of people to exclude other soldiers such as Hunan, Sichuan, and Guizhou, and many other soldiers, so he also said it was much more tactful, for fear that among the few people in front of them, there would be people with a strong regional concept. If they really joined forces to exclude Li Han, his benefactor, and he was the first hero of this righteousness, it would be his fault!

Xiong Bingkun's expression froze slightly. He was not a stupid person either. His mind just turned around and he understood what Yan Zhong meant in his straight words!

It's really good. Although he and Cheng Zhengying and others are not very keen on power, if something had happened to the representative of the Eighth Battalion before him, he would have been just a very ordinary little Zhengmin now. However, although he is not a person who is keen on power, he also knows that whether it is a comrade who has participated in the Communist Party or the newly appointed revolutionary army, there are indeed several people with serious regional concepts. Therefore, when facing this problem, although he also wants to let Li Han, a professional, come to command them, he is afraid that there will be a riot and refusal to obey orders at that time.

Therefore, the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment!

"Well... Brother Yan's words are reasonable!"

Just when the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, Cheng Zhengying, who was next to him, took the lead in agreeing. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Cheng Zhengying saw that everyone's eyes were all on him, and then said, "As Brother Yan suggested, we should just divide the troops into two groups, and Brother Li was the commander of the same group, and Brother Yan followed him to help him. We will lead another team later. At that time, Brother Li, you only need to wave flags and shout near the North Gate and feint attack for a while, and we will take the opportunity to quickly turn the comrades in the circle to completely win Chu Wangtai..."

"But although our eighth battalion has a team of nearly 200 people, Wu Zhaolin, the left team officer, is a good soldier. The team under his command does not have to be less than us. He can rely on the food and cannons in the city. It is inevitable that another tough battle will be obtained when we go. At this time, the team... isn't it a bit inappropriate..."

One person asked.

Cheng Zhengying smiled, "No, everyone was wrong! I mean we just captured hundreds of soldiers, many of them were soldiers from my Eighth Battalion, and everyone was familiar with them, but they had no revolutionary beliefs, so they didn't get close to us! And even the two teams that had been captured, after surrendering to us, they probably knew that they would be strangled by the brutal Qing government after they surrendered to us. Therefore, if we put them in the queue at this time, although there might be some danger, they could also quickly improve our combat effectiveness... So, we might as well pick dozens of people from our revolutionary army and be under the command of Brother Li, and then help him pick out more than a hundred strong men from the captive soldiers. Anyway, they are just feinting the North City Gate, and they just need to attract some defensive eyes. The real fight is still ours..."

"That's it...I think it's OK..."

"No problem, just like that..."

Seeing that he came up with a compromise, Xiong Bingkun and others did not want to make this person who had great strength in order to make righteousness feel cold. After seeing Xiong Bingkun, the captain of the Revolutionary Army, nodded, the rest of them also benefited him. After all, most of the guns in their hands were supported by Li Han, so they agreed with the flow.

So he selected three or five people in each hangar, gathered more than 40 non-European soldiers or had no regional concepts, and asked him to select 150 people from the prisoners, barely gathered up two hundred. Xiong Bingkun and others also collected the remaining 120 people. In addition to the few seriously injured prisoners who were left to guard the Eighth Battalion, they disrupted the gathered soldiers and reorganized several hangars. After hearing the gunshots from Chu Wangtai gradually became sparse, and knew that it was not good, so Xiong Bingkun and others left Li Han who were still reorganizing and led the team away first!
