Chapter 72 The Thighs of the Alliance
The "fisherman" in the north holds a strong army and is ready to sell. The old fox in the south looks like he is under the power and power by the party members. But unless the party members abolishes him, no one can move. With Cai Jimin and Wu Zhaolin, the actual control of the eight towns is still in his hands. Sun Wu and other party members are in great momentum with the great achievements of the Shouyi, and occupying the great power can at least support the abdication of the Qing Dynasty.
As for himself... Yang Qiuning stood at the window, looking at the slightly messy recruits in the college field, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, because he was growing rapidly at a speed that ordinary people could unimaginable!
After a night of persuasion, more than 700 prisoners sent back from Wusheng Pass agreed that the first batch of 3,000 new recruits recruited by the two towns were also completed. In order to maintain the essence of the troops, all the recruits were workers and peasants, excluding all the favorite gangs, gangs and unemployed vagrants. Compared with the complex old troops, these young people with uncertain minds are the future of this group. From now on, they need to be disbanded with the soldiers and receive one month of intensive training. The training plans and plans are the new training outline compiled by him. In addition, they also need to receive repeated ideological education. These important things will be arranged by Xiao Anguo.
After He Xi took the credit, Yue Peng was not willing to give up and sent good news. He first stopped the 41st Biao two battalions back to Wuchang overnight and persuaded most of them to join the right-wing army. Then he rushed to Hanchuan to forcefully incorporate the rebel army of the Liang brothers. After eliminating the restlessness, he broke up and reorganized the 41st Biao veterans and reorganized three battalions. He has now taken action with Hu Laosan.
What he faced was the biggest problem was not the few Qing army patrols in Xiangyang and other places, but Liu Ying from Jingshan! In the parallel world, the Liu Ying brothers grew rapidly in the name of the deputy governor of the Hubei military government, swept across the Han River with great momentum. They also participated in the Second Revolution, and were loyal to the party members. Whether they could not shed blood was related to whether they could continue to maintain the superficial peace in Hubei.
Song Ziqing was not that fast yet. It took four days to arrive along the river to reach Chongqing. In addition, it would be until the end of the month when chasing the army into Sichuan and Hubei. What worries him the most now is the weapons, and he guards Hanyang but does not have enough military equipment. It may make people laugh at it if he says it.
Originally, there were about nine thousand Hanyang-made ones, but Yue Peng took away three thousand, and nearly four thousand were needed in the schoolyard below. He Xi seized all Japanese 30-type rifles with non-purpose ammunition. When a large number of newly recruited recruits from the north came back, they would face the embarrassment of no guns available. The ammunition was slightly better than that. Shen Shukai increased the procurement efforts and temporarily alleviated the problem of material tightness. The output of pointed bullets gradually increased as the workers began to proficiently, and the process and quality were also improved under Su Hongsheng's personal supervision. After a few days of tests, the grenades entered the manufacturing stage yesterday. As for artillery, I don't want to think about it. Even if Germany could deliver another batch, it would not be able to gather so many artillery soldiers.
Now He Xi is guarding Wusheng Pass, and there is Xiong Pass to assist in the screening machine guns. As long as Beiyang continues to work but does not work hard, there is no problem to continue to guard for half a month. This means that the time most needed has finally arrived after the continuous deployment that is even unsatisfactory.
Make good use of this period of time to quickly take over the north of the Yangtze River and occupy most of Hubei, and it is best to win Chongqing and Guang'an as planned, so you will have a good base. If Germany can reply early and complete the transaction, the locked future will be filled with a glimmer of hope!
But... what kind of path can he take this group in the end? He is not sure about this. He is eyeing the north, and the old fox is not very generous, and Sun Wu will not be willing to be picked by someone, let alone the big figures such as Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren who are about to come! But... they are probably having a headache about themselves now, right?
Yang Qiu then realized that he could have unknowingly leveraged the overall situation of the world, but he quickly gave up on continuing his fantasy, put down the curtains and picked up the long-conceived plan of the National Defense Army NCO Crash Team.
The crash course of the Army's non-commissioned officers was a very common method of rapid and large-scale training of grassroots officers and technical soldiers in the early Republic of China. The expansion of the troops was already unstoppable, and the increasing gap in grassroots officers forced him to accelerate the establishment of the crash course.
Fortunately, Hubei has too many advantages than starting out with nothing. After training officers such as Wu Luzhen, the Hubei Military Academy, which is well-known in the whole country, is the best resource. Since most of the students in the Wuchang Shouyi school participated in the revolution, the teachers and instructors were considered to be the old military officer system in the eyes of the party members, and all of them were cut off for a while. After learning about it, he immediately asked Zhang Wenjing to win over most of them with a high salary of 100 o'clock per person per month. At this moment, all of these people have arrived in Hanyang and were arranged to be in the newly built Qili Temple station of Moshui Lake. What we need to decide now is to concentrate our efforts to solve the subjects.
Command, artillery, surveying and mapping, engineering troop and battlefield medical care are the most urgently needed at present. Heavy machine guns can't find instructors even if they want to start a class. As for hunters, they don't even mention them. After thinking about it, he also added communications and government affairs training.
The communication class will teach this course by the radio operators drawn from the naval barracks. The government training class is not for the sake of the moment. He doesn't want to be controlled by the constitutionalists all his life. But this class cannot be placed in Hanyang, otherwise Tang Hualong would have guessed that he was leaving them aside. After he signed the preparation documents for the National Defense Army Non-commissioned Officer Crash Class, Zhang Wenjing happened to come in and saw it, and his brows became a little deeper: "Commander, I really have no money to do this!"
Zhang Wenjing's hair has been worried about growing. The Shouyi Ye has indeed made a fortune, but recently he spent money, doubled his salary, expanded the troops, settled new recruits, urgently needed raw materials and the operation fees of the Hanyang factory that just started. These alone have consumed nearly three million. If Traun promised to sell arms, it would be a big sum. The more his money bag was, the pressure on the logistics manager, gradually increased.
What's more, at this moment, we only invest but not output!
The northward advance has just begun, and there is a battle against the elite Beiyang. Most optimistically, it will take three or four months to collect the tax in the control area. The customs side also cannot receive the money for the time being. The foreigners are now united and say that they will wait until the war is over before the customs distribution can be restarted, so he dreams of digging up a golden doll these days.
This complaint made Yang Qiu support his forehead. In addition to taxes, he now hopes that Song Ziqing can send good news as soon as possible, and then develop into the western Sichuan plain with Chongqing as the base, which is the essence of the entire Sichuan. Zizhong, Neijiang sugar; Luzhou and Yibin grain; and Ziliujing salt area comparable to Yangzhou. The total military expenditure of Sichuan warlords in 1916 was only 6 million yuan in 1916, but it reached a terrifying 43.6 million yuan in ten years! It increased seven times in ten years and almost all rely on Ziliujing. In addition, a huge fortune that can be remembered is the eight million treasury silver in the Chengdu vassal treasury, but this money is difficult to get so far.
It is still unknown whether Germany will agree. Ziliujing cannot get around Rongxian, which has been controlled by the party members, and entered Chengdu... or cannot get around Brother Pao and the party members! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Why is the road difficult to walk? Are you too soft-hearted? Is it a better choice to go directly with the party members? Is it too wrong to try to restrain yourself for the official title that has not been fully obtained so far?
"Commander, Speaker Tang is here, and he also brings a man named Ju Zheng."
"Ju Zheng! He's finally back..."
Bingwen knocked on the door and brought the news that Ju Zheng and Tan Renfeng finally returned from Shanghai. Yang Qiu immediately stuffed piles of funding documents back into the drawer. What will this few big bosses of the Tongmenghui who are developing in Hubei bring to him?
When he walked steadily to the living room, Ju Zheng also held a teacup and looked at the new recruits who were undergoing training on the campus. When he saw them lined up in an orderly manner, each of them was staggering about several meters and practicing bayonets. Every time he used a knife, he shouted loudly. Many of the soldiers were obviously too tired to fall and were unstable, but they were still gritting their teeth and persevering. The officers in charge of training next to him did not say rest, but kept shouting inspirational words such as "Soldiers should take orders and obedience as their duty", "We are the National Defense Forces", "Sweat more often in normal times and bleed less in wartime", "Practice hard for the people and the country to kill the enemy".
But this passionate and passionate picture did not make him feel excited, but was a little confused. Because he didn't expect that he had just gone to Shanghai, he missed the most important moment. A gunshot from the engineering camp made the entire China spin quickly. As a senior member of the Tongmenghui, it was certainly gratifying that the Shouyi was able to succeed, but the unexpected changes that caught the vortex center made him at a loss.
The biggest change is Yang Qiu's unexpected rise. This young man who had become the last "loyal and brave Batulu" in the Qing Dynasty turned into a revolutionary pioneer! What was going on? In order to figure out these things, he didn't care about the hard work of the journey. He immediately asked Tan Renfeng to see Li Yuanhong and persuaded him to officially take over as the governor. He then brought Tang Hualong, who had a good relationship, to the Hanyang camp, hoping to see Yang Qiu with his own eyes.
"Chen Hua is late, I hope Mr. Ju Zheng, brother Jiwu will forgive me."
Hearing the voice, Ju Zheng quickly got up and looked, and saw a young man in his early twenties, handsome and tall, and tall, and appeared at the door with an officer. As the two of them came in, a tough military aura that hit him slightly stagnated.
Of course, Tang Hualong wanted Yang Qiu to be a pure soldier forever, and smiled intimately: "Chen Hua can come to see me in his busy schedule, so he should disturb me."
"Brother Jiwu is really good at speaking." Yang Qiu's eyes never left the famous man in front of him, who was still under the title of anti-Red and diehard in the second half of his life. When he saw him, he was slightly surprised and smiled in his heart. Like most party members at this moment, this man had not yet experienced the political baptism of the turbulent early Republic of China, and was far from being calm in the face of favor and disgrace.
"When I was in Shanghai, I heard Dunchu mention Chen Hua many times, saying that you are very capable and skilled, but I didn't expect that you are also proficient in the training of troops, which made Juesheng envious."
"Mr. Ju Zheng praised me. Brother, I am the authentic red-topped Batulu. Some days ago, someone was assassinating in the street and wished he could eat my meat." Yang Qiu smiled slightly, and just as he was about to call the two of them to sit down, Ju Zheng suddenly bowed.
Yang Qiu was a little surprised and was about to reach out to help him, already stood up and said seriously: "First I saved Dun Chuyi's life in Chengdu, and then I rose up in accordance with the righteousness, captured Ruicheng, captured Zhang Biao, fought for the first time in Liujiamiao, and blocked Wusheng Pass. When the dragons in Wuchang were headless, I bought time to consolidate the results of the revolution! Not to mention bowing, even if Ju Zheng had to kneel three times and kowtow nine times."
"Mr. Ju Zheng has been awarded. When I swore a oath the day before yesterday, I said that soldiers should obey orders to defend the country, but..." Yang Qiu felt strange in his heart. What do you want to do when Ju Zheng lifted himself so high? He quickly gave Tang Hualong a wink: "Although the Li Duke in Wuchang has powered the whole country, he has not been ordered for a long time. Brothers are anxious and have to take action."
"Yes..." Tang Hualong took the opportunity to say: "Since the first rebellion, the soldiers will not be ordered. Some people are still domineering in fighting for power and profit. They know that the position of governor has been determined and are still lucky. If Chen Hua had not taken the initiative to attack... Alas!" Hearing him sighing deliberately, Zhang Wenjing was secretly amused. Who wouldn't know that the people who wanted to fight for power the most were the constitutional factions. If Li Yuanhong had not been completely decided, and with the temptation of most Hubei civil regimes starting from the north, they would probably not have been able to support the right army.
Yang Qiu also added fire and continued: "The Qing Dynasty's foreigners were rampant. Chen Hua was born in Hubei. He did not want his hometown to continue to be in chaos, so he followed the righteousness and led his brothers to join the revolution. But if this continues... the hearts of the soldiers will probably be cold."
The two of you said and said something to Ju Zheng secretly frowned. Although he had just returned, he was not unaware of the matter here. Sun Wu and Zhang Zhenwu and others were very dissatisfied with Li Yuanhong as governor and kept looking for opportunities to replace him. However, those who lack virtue did not implement it. So the words of the two were not so much a complaint, but rather a warning to the governor that it would cause a major change.
Of course, Ju Zheng didn't want to change Li Yuanhong. No matter what, he was from Hubei, and he didn't want to see others' expressions after the success of the primordial reign. Moreover, there is another small idea here, that is, whether the Tongmenghui can re-lead the status of the heroes!
In fact, Yang Qiu's words just now were deliberately arousing the flame in his heart. In the parallel world, Ju Zheng was fooled by Tang Hualong to create the "Wuchang Military Government Organization Regulations". In addition to strengthening the power of the governor, he also wanted to use it to make the Tongmenghui take the initiative. In fact, he almost succeeded in the end. Unfortunately, Huang Xing was not successful and was defeated, which led to the Tongmenghui's final struggle to go to Shanghai and Hubei to compete for the national voice. So when he saw his face was gloomy and sunny, he continued to fan the sensation: "It would be great if Mr. Sun was in China, so we can call him the president, and Li Governor as the Grand Marshal of the Army, and then use Hubei to control the whole country, calling on people with ambition to rise up and completely overthrow the Qing Dynasty, so that others would always make unjust statements."
Ju Zheng felt his heart pounding and pretended to be calm and asked: "Chenhua wants to elect Mr. Sun as the president?!"
Yang Qiu smiled slightly. There was almost no Tongmenghui in the Wuchang stern rebellion this time. Now that he has given such a big sweetness, Ju Zheng should be able to understand it even if he has no experience. He no longer has his head, "Who else in the world can take on this important task except Mr. Sun? If someone wants to usurp...huh!" He deliberately sneered: "I have to ask my brother first, tens of thousands of guns in my hand!"
Tens of thousands of guns?! Zhang Wenjing was almost sucking his stomach. At this moment, the right-road army had less than 10,000 guns. When he turned to the commander's mouth, it turned into tens of thousands. This speed was faster than the planes that were popular in Europe. However, he also really admired Yang Qiu. As long as he could hold Ju Zheng and tie the big tree of Tongmenghui, the future problems of the right-road army that he was worried about would be solved. If it was done well, he might become a direct army of the central government!
Ju Zheng was even more overjoyed. After Huang Huagang, Sun Yat-sen fled, and Huang Xing was discouraged and stayed in Hong Kong, which caused the power of the Tongmenghui to decline and gradually lost the right to lead the heroes. For example, this time, the Wuchang First Rebellion was all due to the literary society and the Communist Party. Now even the military power is controlled by them. Who would still be willing to listen to the Tongmenghui after a long time? Originally, the Tongmenghui was very dissatisfied with the division and always believed that the whole country should have a voice. Now Hubei was the first to revolt, and it also captured all the elite Eight Towns and 21 Mixed Associations of the Southern Army, which made the Tongmenghui even more in absolute weakness. This has a great impact on whether it can take power in the future. Therefore, Yang Qiu is now equivalent to throwing a huge hydrangea! If Yang Qiu and his right-wing army of the National Defense Army were brought to the name of the Tongmenghui, wouldn't that mean...!
This time, his heart was really confused. He even wanted to immediately introduce him to the meeting with Yang Qiu, and suppressed surprise and asked: "Chen Hua, I heard that you didn't seem to join any party. Why... want to elect Mr. Sun as president?"
Yang Qiu looked like the most fanatical fan, stood up and waved his hand hard, "To be honest, Chen Hua admired the most in his life because of Mr. Sun's perseverance in order to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and revitalize China. It's a pity that he has never had the chance to meet. If the boy could know where the teacher is now, he would have to follow him."
"Chen Hua really wants to see Mr. Sun?"
"Of course! Chen Hua still wants to sit down and listen to Mr. Sun's teachings carefully. Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty has not been overthrown yet, so I am the only one who is the first to recover from Hubei. I don't know if I have a chance."
Ju Zheng finally couldn't help but feel excited and said with a smile: "It's not a pity that Chen Hua has set off from the United States. He is planning to visit Britain and France first to seek support. He should come back in a while, then..."
"Is this true? Mr. Sun is coming back?" Yang Qiu pretended to be surprised, and after interrupting, he waved his arms hard and said, "It's great! As long as the gentleman comes back, we will invite him to Hubei. The thoroughfare of nine provinces is a good place to rule the country's heroes! With the prosperity of Hubei, as long as we safely settle Hunan and Sichuan, we will definitely be able to launch the national northern expedition first and completely overthrow the Qing Dynasty!"
Tang Hualong heard the eyes of his eyes full of stars. He had never thought about fighting for the president, but if Wuchang could be positioned as the capital of the country! Wouldn't that say...? He quickly agreed: "Chen Hua's words are right. Since the revolution has come, there should be some new atmosphere! The northern Manchus and Tartars have many remnants, which are not suitable for establishing their capital. The thoroughfare of the nine provinces of Wuchang is also a well-known and prosperous place in the world, and the production of Hanyang's military weapons. Why worry about the big thing not being done!"
Yang Qiu laughed in his heart. If Beiyang is not eliminated, how can the central government come from? But now he really needs a big backer, so he also said excitedly: "Brother Jiwu has a clear view! Since the revolution has come, then there should be a new look. Since Mr. Sun is backing, I think the whole country should be sent to the whole country immediately, and the governor Li will be appointed as the Grand Marshal of the World, to control the revolutionary forces of the whole country, to coordinate the planning to achieve the first righteousness and promote the whole country, and finally overturn the goal of the Qing Dynasty."
Seeing Ju Zheng nodding constantly, Tang Hualong immediately took out the "Wuchang Military Government Organization Regulations" drafted by Huang Zhongkai. Yang Qiu was a little cold after reading it. If this regulation is passed, it would indicate that the old fox in the south will officially turn over! But he cannot hesitate now, so he proposed to join the Yangxia Military Government Branch and the Right Defense Army on the excuse, and also suggested to rename it the "Regulations on the Organization of the Military Government of Hubei of the Republic of China", which is more legitimate.
Ju Zheng was naturally willing to change this name. The regional concept of Chinese literati was deeply rooted, not to mention that he wanted to take advantage of this to seize Yang Qiu and his right-wing army and let the Tongmenghui regain his national voice.
After the three of them finished their talks, Ju Zheng thought for a while and said, "Chen Hua, it is really not a solution to the right army and Wuchang. Tomorrow, Duke Li will hold a ceremony to worship the world and restore the Han Dynasty. You must attend."
Yang Qiu smiled and glanced at Zhang Wenjing who was sitting with him. The latter immediately handed over a confession: "Mr. Ju Zheng, Speaker, you are all pillars of the military government. You have to decide this for our commander. If the commander's safety cannot be guaranteed... the right-road army will never be able to go beyond the river!"
Tang Hualong took it first and looked through it. After reading it, he was even more happy. This was a huge gift! So he deliberately slapped the table hard: "Nonsense! It's simply nonsense! What's the difference between such despicable behavior and bandit Qingpi!"
After reading this, Ju Zheng also frowned secretly. Unexpectedly, there were so many things in it. Jiang Yiwu and Zhang Zhenwu were also wrong. How could they appoint scoundrels like Jin Laili? If Yang Qiu had a barrier to the Tongmenghui, wouldn’t the previous discussion be wasted? So he also said: "Don’t worry, Chen Hua, Dunchu has already told me about the Sichuan affairs that day. My Tongmenghui will definitely give you a clean and fair."
Yang Qiu smiled slightly: "Mr. De promise, brother, I can finally throw away the hat of the Qing dog thief. But this Jin Laili wants to massacre the people of Hankou under the name of revolution and destroy more than a thousand merchants. It is really unforgivable! A gang gangster dared to be so blatant, and there is still ** to use it! I wonder who gave him the courage and weapons?"
Ju Zheng and Tang Hualong understood what he meant. This confession was a great gift. As long as this matter was used to block the mouths of Sun Wu, Zhang Zhenwu and others, it would be no difficulty to pass this regulation, so they immediately guaranteed: "Don't worry, Chen Hua, you can cross the river as much as possible, Jiwu and I can guarantee that there will be no more of this."
"That brother is waiting for news from you here." Yang Qiu picked up the cup and toasted it again, and suddenly asked with a curl of his mouth: "By the way, there is another thing to bother you. Now my right-wing army is in short supply of weapons, I don't know..."
"Chen Hua will send someone to Chuwangtai tomorrow to collect the required guns and weapons. If someone stops it... then don't blame me for being rude!" Ju Zheng had already thought about it before this matter came, and after saying that, did he do it again: "But... I also know that Hankou is the main battlefield, but Wuchang has to give Li Dui a face. Chen Hua, can you reduce it appropriately?"
"Sir, I said so, how could Yang Qiu not follow the truth." After saying that, he turned his head and said seriously: "Wen Jing, you can send someone to get... Hanyang made 10,000 bullets, 1.5 million bullets, 30 cannons, shells, gunpowder and military supplies." Yang Qiu pretended to think of it and patted his forehead, looking at Tang Hualong: "I almost forgot that there are 300,000... military funds and 100 skilled artillery soldiers!"
"Che..."
Tang Hualong almost sprayed a mouthful of tea on Ju Zheng's face, but now he needed Yang Qiu, so he could only grit his teeth and promise to immediately allocate funds after the military government made a complete decision.
