The Great Victory of Hanyang boosted the Anhui Revolutionary Army's confidence. From the initial panic when hearing the name of the Beiyang Army, to the eager expressions of the generals who are now eager to defeat the Beiyang Army, we can see the current vigorous momentum of the Anhui Revolutionary Army.

Wang Jinglue, commander of the second brigade of the First Division, has been in Anqing and has not made any gains. As a student of the first phase of the teaching team, he naturally has to stop and speak: "Commander, give the order. The subordinates of this humble post are willing to be the vanguard! Get it for the commander."

Go to Hankou!"

Tian Jiyang had seen the faces of the big figures in the Tongmenghui, and now he was clinging to Fang Jianxiong's thigh. Not willing to lag behind, he took a step forward and said: "Commander, I am in the first brigade, I am familiar with the Beiyang Army, and I would like to be the vanguard! For the big army

Handsome in Hankou!"

An Yi, the chief of staff of the second division and commander of the third brigade, refused to lag behind and took a step forward with a sneer: "Commander, you are humble and incompetent. I am willing to die for the commander. In the battle of Hankou, the vanguard should be from the third brigade." An Yi is serious.

As a direct descendant, the other two can't compete with each other.

The situation of the First Division is different from that of the Second Division. The composition of the First Division is relatively mixed. There are remnants of the Anqing Uprising like Tian Jiyang, and there are also old bastards like Wang Jinglue who came from the 31st Association. Unlike the Second Division, An Yi came out alone.

Enough fighting.

"What are you fighting for? Commander-in-Chief Gui has the final say on who will be the vanguard. I just want to see the results." Fang Jianxiong scolded, and everyone retreated angrily. Gui Danqi felt relieved. At this time, Fang Jianxiong did not forget to consolidate his position as Commander-in-Chief of Hanyang.

The location shows how much fun it is to follow Fang Jianxiong.

"Haha. It also depends on the staff's wishes." Gui Danchi did not dare to make excuses. Hamilton was pushed out. The German seemed to be taking his duty and said sternly: "Our army lacks heavy artillery, and the casualties from a forced attack will not be small.

In addition, the navy also needs the commander's coordination and the support of the navy's heavy artillery. The counterattack on Hankou does not require a fierce frontal attack. The main attack can be detoured along the Yangtze River and flanked."

"This is a professional opinion!" Fang Jianxiong praised with a smile and said to everyone: "Learn more. The first thing to consider in war is not bravery. It is to win the greatest victory with the least casualties. Of course, at the critical moment,

, you must have the courage to see the red with your bayonet! The staff should hurry up and draw up a battle plan, time is running out."

The group of people discussed the battle on Guishan Mountain. They had no intention of avoiding Yang Yulong and Li Siguang. The two people had different reactions after hearing this. Yang Yulong was even more worried. Governor Li did not kill the tiger, but instead killed an evil tiger.

The wolf was introduced into the family. Li Siguang's reaction was excitement, thinking that this is the real revolutionary army. Facing a powerful enemy, everyone is eager to take the lead and fight bravely.

Hu Shi'an, the editor-in-chief of "Da Han Bao", rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Okay, okay! I'm right to follow you today, I have a good article."

Fang Jianxiong said sternly to Hu Shi'an: "Editor Hu, I think the focus of the report should be on the Sixth Town causing trouble in Taiyuan. Conquering a city for several days without sealing the sword is an eternal bad habit and must be eradicated. Lu

The people of Yongxiang can be punished by all the people in the country! When we rise up for revolution, isn’t it just to let the common people live a good life? The duty of a soldier is to protect the homeland and the country!”

After hearing this, Hu Shi'an perked up and sighed, stroking his palms and saying, "What Marshal Fang said hits the mark. Soldiers have caused trouble to places since ancient times. They have been banned for many times. The Marshal raised his arms and shouted, and the whole country responded."

After walking around for a while and returning to the Hanyang headquarters, Li Muyan stepped forward and coughed while Fang Jianxiong was drinking tea and taking a break. Fang Jianxiong saw this and stood up and said, "Mr. Muyan, please accompany me for a walk in the yard."

The two got up and entered the courtyard. The guard leader Qi Erzhu immediately led people to guard the surrounding area. Even Gui Danchi and others had to report before they could see Fang Jianxiong.

"Commander, that's not right!" That's what Li Muyan said. Fang Jianxiong said calmly: "What's wrong?"

Li Muyan said: "After the army's northern expedition to the Central Plains, it needs to rest and replenish supplies. Furthermore, this move seems to force Yuan Shikai to fight to the death. Doesn't this give the Alliance an advantage?"

Fang Jianxiong pondered for a moment and then said: "Mr. Mu Yan is right, but we can't do this without fighting. Why would I want to fight, but Yuan Shikai took action in Tongguan and Taiyuan, and Shandong canceled the war. Beiyang has been basically pacified.

, I can't let Yuan Shikai live too comfortably. The main force that has caught up with Huyan Aobo has arrived in Bengbu. I can gather seven infantry brigades, an artillery division, and tens of thousands of people to attack from the north and south. How many people does Yuan Shikai have in Hubei? If he is full, he will include local troops.

, but only 50,000 people. As long as Xinyang is captured, I don’t ask for annihilation. I just ask Yuan Shikai to bow his head obediently and agree to all my conditions. Don’t worry, I have no intention of forcing Yuan Shikai to death!"

After hearing the last sentence, Li Muyan felt relieved. He immediately flattered him and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed the best policy to form an encirclement from the north and the south and not take advantage of it!"

Fang's telegram shocked the whole country once again! Of course, Nanjing, Shanghai and other provinces sent telegrams to condemn Lu Yongxiang's cruelty in Taiyuan. Wu Tingfang, as foreign minister, was the first to telegraph the whole country, responsible for Yuan Shikai's breaking of the armistice and accusing Lu Yongxiang of his evil deeds in Taiyuan.

These are all innocuous telegrams. Although telegrams are very expensive, everyone is happy to spend a little money to show their name in front of the whole country. If we really want to send troops to the Northern Expedition, they can stay comfortably at home. As for Nanjing

They were preparing for the Northern Expedition, but they made Xu Shao frame the commander and sent Lin Shuqing's troops from the Jiangbei army to go north. In addition, Lin Shuqing of Zhenjiang took the initiative to send troops to quell the Sun family rebellion in Yangzhou, and then occupied Yangzhou and refused to leave. Huyan Aobo was too slow to move.

, was overtaken by Lin Shuqing, and could only be stationed outside the city. Huyan Aobo had not thought of taking Yangzhou, but the local gentry jumped out, Zhang Qian, Zhang Yilu and others successively threatened that "the Soviet people govern the Soviet Union".

Huyan Aobo has never been able to make up his mind, so he had to ask Fang Jianxiong for instructions. Fang Jianxiong was somewhat dissatisfied with Huyan Aobo on this matter. The troops' eastward movement was too slow, which was the reason for the passivity. Of course, from the actual situation, Huyan wanted to expand the troops.

The Anhui Army, which has to wait for supplies and is relatively dependent on logistics, does have disadvantages in this regard.

Considering his own underestimation, Fang Jianxiong's dissatisfaction with Huyan Aobo disappeared and he asked him to go north to Bengbu and wait for Jiang Fangzhen's dispatch. Unexpectedly, when Huyan went north, the powerful northern Anhui side had an opportunity to march westward to Xinyang.

Without further digression, let’s get back to the topic.

When Yuan Shikai used troops in the north, Fang Jianxiong's reaction was the slowest, but the strongest. He directly demanded the execution of Lu Yongxiang, otherwise he would launch an attack. If Yuan Shikai took the initiative to kill Lu Yongxiang, how could he, the commander-in-chief of Yuan, continue to be the commander-in-chief? This was tantamount to issuing a challenge to Yuan Shikai.

.

For a time, there was a strong reaction from all parties, and the private media was the most active, and they all praised Fang Jianxiong for putting the interests of the people first. Fang Jianxiong's call was reprinted in newspapers, and everyone knew it.

The reaction from Shanghai was that Chen Qimei expressed that he was happy to see the success of the Anhui Army's Northern Expedition, but did not say any support. There was little hope of expecting him to support it. From Nanjing, Xu Shaojie sent a telegram saying that he would soon lead his troops across the river and head north.

Xuzhou. Support the revolutionary actions of the Anhui Army. The question is, how do you plan to go to Xuzhou? Take the Jinpu Road? Then you have to pass through Bengbu! You might as well go to Bengbu, join the Anhui Army, and attack the Beiyang Army on the Beijing-Hankou Line together.

.

Other provinces also called for support, among which Li Yuanhong shouted the loudest. He said: The military and civilians of the three towns in Wuhan will fully assist the Anhui army in its revolutionary actions. He also emphasized that before Yuan's reaction and when the peace talks were undecided, the Nanjing Provisional Government should not take any action.

Li Yuanhong blatantly brought in private goods and played a trick to please both sides in the election of the president. At the same time, he complained about the proposal to elect an interim president at the Nanjing Provincial Governor's Office Meeting on the 14th!

The British Minister Jourdian held a press conference. In view of the suspicion of war between the North and the South, he decided to block the entrance to the Yangtze River and impose an arms embargo on China. He also said that during the peace talks between the North and the South, all countries look forward to seeing a peaceful China and have made efforts to achieve it.

Huge efforts were made. Because the irrationality of some soldiers destroyed the upcoming peace, the British Empire had to take drastic measures.

As soon as this news came out, all provinces fell silent.

After Fang Jianxiong from Hanyang received the telegram, he tore it into pieces violently and threw it to the ground angrily. Everyone around him looked shocked. They had never seen the commander so glum.

Obviously, this telegram is directed at Fang Jianxiong. This is a naked threat!

Everyone in the hall focused on Fang Jianxiong, waiting for his reaction. The British Empire was still the best in the world, and no one dared to challenge his authority. If Fang Jianxiong ignored him, everyone was going to persuade him.

After waiting for a long time, Fang Jianxiong finally regained his composure, and said with a faint sneer: "Isn't it just an arms embargo? Isn't it just blocking the Yangtze River waterway? Nowadays, Europe has started fighting without knowing when, and the British have no tail.

It’s been a few years. The battle on the Beijing-Hankow Line continues. If you don’t let me attack you, I will attack you instead. Let’s see what the British Empire can do to me?”

"Commander, no!" Li Muyan shouted, Fang Jianxiong gave him a cold look, and Li Muyan immediately sat down in panic. Seeing this, no one dared to persuade him. Fang Jianxiong stood in the center, held his chest high and said: "Imperialism

They are all paper tigers. The more you are afraid of them, the more they will bully you. By electrifying, for example, the British blockade of the Yangtze River waterway is an act of gross interference in our internal affairs. The Anhui army will continue to flow unimpeded on the Yangtze River. If any British warships dare to fire to block it,

, resolutely fight back! Furthermore, from now on, Anhui will cut off all commercial ties with Britain."

"Commander!" Li Muyan yelled at the top of his lungs. He knelt down and hugged Fang Jianxiong's thigh tightly. He cried and remonstrated: "I risk my life to cry for remonstrance! Anqing and Wuhu are the foundation of our army. Once the British ships attack, we will

The foundation of the army will be destroyed. Mu Yan affirms the commander-in-chief and withdraws his words of confrontation with the British ships."

Fang Jianxiong saw Li Muyan's face full of tears and knew that he was really doing it for his own good. He sighed, stretched out his hand to help Li Muyan up and said, "Mr. Muyan, you don't have to be like this. Chinese people have been holding their breath for too long. We can't just endure it this time. Even if it's

The fight has gone bankrupt, and I won’t give in this time!”

Li Muyan was speechless immediately, and everyone in the crowd had their eyes blazing and gearing up.

Fang's electrification shocked the country again, and the whole world exclaimed, Fang Jianxiong is crazy!
Chapter completed!
