Chapter 76 Resignation

October 21.

Wuchang City in the early morning was already a new atmosphere. After the ceremony of worshiping the sky, the ancient city gradually returned to its calmness. Because history was hit and the shells were still circling in the north, the people who had not yet experienced the cruelty of the war seemed to think that this kind of rebellion was not good. The shop that had been half-covered for several days slowly opened its doors.

Yang Qiu, who was walking towards the Advisory Bureau under the protection of a class, knew very well that under the silence, there was already an undercurrent. Yinchang continued to watch Wu Shengguan in Xinyang every day, and after Beiyang launched a test, he did not harass him again. The edicts in the Forbidden City followed one by another. Yuan Shikai was still bargaining with the Qing Dynasty, Wu Luzhen in the north, Cai E in the south, and Jiao Dafeng in Hunan who was going to do something tomorrow, etc. In the era of underdeveloped information, these things were more like hidden currents, and trickling by trickling by seems inconspicuous, but when they gathered together, they were enough to destroy them.

This is the benefit of time travelers. It can completely lay the process of events listed by historians for years. But he has no mind or strength to care about those things now. He just hopes that Song Ziqing can send good news early and give him the opportunity to break this cage.

Qiu Wenbin was the first to see Yang Qiu who entered the Advisory Bureau. He subconsciously straightened his back. When the latter found him, he paused and stared at him. After staring at him, he finally turned his head and walked into the building. The new version of the "Regulations on Organization of Government of the Republic of China" finally determined the status of the right-wing army. On the surface, the two armies finally no longer had to be nervous, and the soldiers' minds gradually turned to the war getting closer and closer.

The staff room was full of people. At this moment, the staff department did not have as many advanced means as the later generations. The Wuchang New Army was not even equipped with radios. That is, a group of officers surrounded the map and adjusted and deployed through lagging messages from all directions, and formulated combat plans.

"Yang Qiu has met Duke Li."

"Chen Hua is here." The old fox was still so intimate, Ju Zheng nodded, and the officers even greeted the young upstart who had transformed from the Manchu Patulu to the revolutionary hero overnight.

Yang Qiu didn't like this kind of vain ritual, so he reluctantly responded and asked, "Du Li, can there be a reply from the governor of Sa?"

Speaking of the navy Li Yuanhong's expression, he sent a letter to Sa Zhenbing, but he has not received any reply so far, which made him worry about whether the navy was determined to fight this battle. Yang Qiu knew that the old fox was "afraid of his hands and feet" had been violated again, and he smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "The Sa Commander is very clear about the righteousness, and he will definitely understand that overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and achieving republic is the only way out for this country! Even if... we don't have to worry too much about the navy. At present, the Guishan Fortress is under the control of our army. I also ordered another artillery position to be built in the east, and 36 cannons block the river, so I may not be afraid of them."

Li Yuanhong thought Yang Qiu was young and energetic and didn't know how powerful the navy's naval gun was, and said, "Chen Hua, you are still too young. The power of the naval gun is much stronger than that of the army gun. I think Dadonggou back then... Alas! It's better not to mention it."

Seeing him sighing, Ju Zheng quickly changed the subject: "Chen Hua, Shanghai just sent a telegram saying that Yuan Shikai had rejected the Qing court's appointment to serve as the governor of Huguang yesterday. Everyone is discussing what attention he is paying attention to?"

"What else can I pay attention to? I'll wait for the price." The speaker was Cai Jimin. He was very famous in the army. Later, Huang Xing praised him as the "big boss of the army in Hubei". When he was in Sichuan, Yang Qiu thought of going back to Wuchang to win over him and Wu Zhaolin. Unfortunately, by chance, he took the most difficult road, so he pricked his ears when he saw him talking.

Cai Jimin didn't know what Yang Qiu was thinking, and when he saw him looking at him, he continued to say, "Yinchang was blocked by Commander Yang and was unable to advance outside Wusheng Pass. Beiyang hurriedly tried and attacked without any further details. This was not the Beiyang Army that everyone knew. Feng Huafu and others must have received the care of Yuan Shikai, so they deliberately worked but did not work. The army could not enter our Hubei for a long time. The most urgent thing was naturally the Qing court, so they would definitely promise to let him out with high officials and generous salaries."

"Xiangpu (Cai Jimin's word) is right. We should continue to strengthen Wusheng's concerns and not take it lightly. As long as it can be delayed for ten days and half a month, brothers from other provinces will inevitably respond. At that time, my pressure in Hubei will be much less." Tan Renfeng is also a veteran party member. Everyone nodded after he spoke.

Yang Qiu wanted to see how many skills this giant in the army had, and asked: "From Xiangpu, how will we deploy next?"

Cai Jimin seemed confident and walked to the map and said, "What I saw must be strengthened again. At this moment, there is only one alliance of Wei San brothers. Half of them are newly recruited soldiers. They must have insufficient experience in facing Beiyang. Even if there is a Xiongguan, they may not be able to stop it. Instead of waiting for Beiyang to break through the pass, it is better to take the initiative to attack Xinyang. As long as Yinchang can be driven out of Xinyang and wait for other provinces to respond, my Hubei will be safe."

"No!" Cai Jimin finished speaking, Yang Kaijia immediately stood up. Before the uprising, he was Zhang Biao's loyalty. Later, when the general situation was settled, it was no matter what. So many party and officers after he stood up showed disdain, but he continued to say without seeing it: "Our army is no longer the old eight towns of the past. It is a drag on the replenishment of so many new recruits. Going out of seclusion will only reveal flaws, so this move must not be done."

"Yes, Duke Li!" Zhang Jingliang took the opportunity to stand up and said, "Don't go out of the pass. In my opinion, it's better to guard the pass honestly. After all, Beiyang has lived in Zhili and Henan for a long time. Our army may have a chance to win when fighting locally. If we go to war..."

Zhang Jingliang looked very concerned about Hubei's safety and his tone was even more sincere. If he hadn't known his background, or even Yang Qiu might not believe that he would be rebellious, it would be no wonder that the party members in the parallel world would be blinded by him and would be defeated by thousands of miles.

Li Yuanhong also had a worried face. If it weren't for the situation, he wouldn't have been reluctant to let go of the reputation of the governor of the prime minister in his heart, and he wouldn't want to stand the Beiyang. The governor's reputation is very good, but the dead governor is not even as good as a dog, so he did not agree with Cai Jimin's expedition to leave the pass. However, he had to settle down in this position and needed the help of party members to block this level, so he turned his eyes to Yang Qiu.

Yang Qiu shook his head and said, "The North Arms are fierce, especially the artillery, which is a hundred times more powerful than me. The rash attack will only increase casualties. I think the first thing we should do is to strengthen Wusheng Pass, and then use Xiaogan as the shield, Dahongshan and Yanshui as the two wings. The deployment of heavy troops forces the Beiyang to unable to move south quickly, and take the opportunity to consume and annihilate its living forces, so that it will be exhausted and look for opportunities to win."

His words attracted Li Yuanhong's approval. Just as he was about to express his opinion, a commotion suddenly came from outside. Before he could ask, he saw Zhang Zhenwu rushing in with four or five party soldiers. When he saw Yang Qiu's fingers, he said, "Catch him!"

Several party soldiers who were prepared were about to arrest people immediately. Lei Meng, who was guarding outside without orders, suddenly became anxious, pulled out his pistol and rushed in and shouted, "Who dares to do it!"

When he shouted, a group of people walked around in the staff room. All the guards waiting outside came in. Finally, even the security team of the Advisory Bureau led by Qiu Wenbin rushed in. However, because everyone didn't know what was wrong, they stood quietly waiting for the things to be clear.

Yang Qiu was even more surprised. He glanced around and felt that it was not like someone deliberately set up a plan to kill him. He was about to ask Ju Zheng that he had come over and stopped him and said, "Chunshan, what are you doing?"

Zhang Zhenwu waved his pistol and looked excited: "Sir! We were all deceived by this dog thief! While he kept saying to defend the revolution, he sent a large army north to break up the river and divide the river! Yesterday, he forcibly seized the Jingshan Rebel Army and killed Liu Tie and his clan brother Liu Jie! Even Brother Liu Ying was arrested by him!"

Liu Ying was arrested? Liu Tie and Liu Jie were both beaten to death! Yang Qiu was also confused. He ordered Yue Peng to speed up the northward advance, but he never expected that he would take such a heavy hand.

What accident happened?

I heard that Liu Ying was arrested and Liu Tie died. Not to mention officers such as Cai Jimin, even Ju Zheng and Tan Renfeng suddenly opened their mouths, and the room suddenly exploded. Only old officers such as Li Yuanhong and Zhang Jingliang sat quietly. I don’t know whether they wanted to see the conflict between the two factions or to resolve the crisis.

The sudden accident made Yang Qiu's brain turn rapidly. Among the characters in the 1911 year, the Liu Ying brothers were not very prominent, but their background was not inferior to Wu Luzhen and others. They studied in Japan and studied in a Japanese military school. Later, the Tongmenghui split and joined the Communist Party of China, and joined the Communist Party of China, and they had contacts with Sun Wu, Huang Xing and others, and had deep connections with Brother Pao!

In the later Yangxia War, they swept across the two sides of Hanyang, alleviating the considerable pressure on the three towns. If Li Yuanhong had not been afraid of him and threatened him to attack Xiangyang, perhaps the matter of using north to unify Hubei would have happened in advance. Later, he participated in the Second Revolution and was one of the few people in Hubei's generals and school troupes to respond.

The most important thing is! I just got into a relationship with Ju Zheng and was about to embrace the Tongmenghui thigh to pave a way out for the future, but before I finished speaking, I forcibly incorporated the other party's armed forces and killed people! Will this affect future cooperation? But to put it bluntly, he was happy to see Liu Ying's destruction, because the Liu brothers are the only remaining real party member armed forces in Hubei. After defeating him, both Sun Wu and Ju Zheng lost their largest foreign aid, so they had to rely more on the two armed forces. The question is whether they would choose Wuchang or their own...?

When he gave Yue Peng the order to accelerate the northward advance, he thought about forcibly taking down Jingshan, but he didn't expect that the Liu brothers would be injured by accident, and the correspondents sent back must have been delayed, which led to the people sent by Liu Ying to Wuchang first.

Zhang Zhenwu is reckless and is a famous reckless and straightforward person among the Three Wushus of the First Righteous People, but he will never know the consequences of breaking into the staff room with a gun! So Sun Wu must be behind him! Because only Sun Wu is the least willing to see the Liu brothers destroyed, so he wanted to catch himself off guard and suppress the growing right-wing army. This is almost the same as his method of suppressing the Yangxia branch of the military government, which is the team of the literary society, in the parallel world!

Seeing that he had not spoken, Zhang Zhenwu thought he had accepted the accusation and said angrily: "Yang Qiu, you killed me revolutionary patriots in Sichuan before, and now you have used the guise of restoring the whole province to launch northwards and kill innocent people! If you do not punish severely today, wouldn't it be a joke for the revolution in the world..."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish his clamor, everyone saw Yang Qiu suddenly step forward and slapped him hard in the face!

The crisp and loud slap made the audience suck. Even Li Yuanhong couldn't figure out why Yang Qiu didn't explain first and instead slapped Zhang Zhenwu hard. But this slap made him feel secretly happy. He has been accused by Zhang Zhenwu many times these days. Now seeing the five red fingerprints on his face gradually deepening, he wished he could make up for it himself.

Zhang Zhenwu even didn't expect that Yang Qiu would dare to hit him first. He was so angry that he was about to raise his gun and pressed his forehead. After taking down the gun factory, Su Hongsheng began to imitate the m1911 pistol, and also reduced the caliber to 9 mm more suitable for Chinese people as required. Therefore, all the soldiers in the guards and soldiers around Yang Qiu were double guns, one by one, and one by one was in the middle, almost locking everyone in the room at once.

The thunder gun was pressed against his forehead, and Zhang Zhenwu didn't dare to speak anymore. Seeing this, Ju Zheng quickly shouted: "Stop, stop! Chen Hua, tell me what's going on? Brother Liu Ying, did you order the killing?"

Yang Qiu did not waved his hand and asked the guard company to remove the gun. Anyway, this was the case. He didn't want people to have the opportunity to shoot black guns. He turned his head and said to Ju Zheng: "Mr. Ju Zheng, Yang should first ask you when answering your question. Should there be many warlords in the Republic of China in the future, or should the military and political unity be unified?"

"Naturally, it is military and political unity." Tan Renfeng answered on the side instead.

"Since it is military and political unification, then I will order the northward advance and what's wrong with the recruitment of rebels from all over the country? Although I don't know why I was injured by accident, the day before yesterday, Governor Li had already informed the whole country that our army was only divided into two groups and did not appoint the deputy chief! Liu Ying did not respect the military government's orders, and continued to do his own thing, constantly sending telegrams to the whole country in the name of deputy governor, and obeying him! I want to ask, is it he doing his own thing or not..." Yang Qiu's eyes swept coldly, and saw Sun Wu who had arrived at the door, and said angrily: "Someone tried to split in Hubei, intending to cooperate with the Qing army inside and outside!"

This big hat made Ju Zheng feel a little dissatisfied, but when he saw Yang Qiu, he seemed to really not know about this, and for some reason he was relieved. As long as he did not order the murder in person, there would be room for maneuver in this matter. It was not that he did not know the importance of Liu Ying, but that he finally made it possible to achieve the substantial unification of the three towns. If Yang Qiu was forced on another road because of this matter, perhaps the Beiyang army would be able to fight to the door of Wuchang's house tomorrow!

But the Liu Ying brothers did die because of Yang Qiu. If they were not handled well, the party would be divided again. What should we do? Thinking of this, his eyes immediately turned to Li Yuanhong. The latter did not want to care about this matter. His power was unstable at this time, and the party members and Yang Qiu needed to control each other. Only in this way can we hold the position of governor and cut them off one by one when the power was obtained. Therefore, we do not want the two factions to immediately start a conflict, or would we just hit the fifty-foot board each?

Seeing that Ju Zheng and Li Yuanhong were silent at the same time, Sun Wu thought it was not good to go out and immediately said, "Duke Li! Sir! This matter is very serious. Now the whole country is looking at our Wuchang and Hubei! If this person is not severely punished, who will take our party members seriously in the future? Do you want to kill them if you say they want to kill them?!"

It is said that Sun Wu is smart among the three martial arts, Zhang Zhenwu is reckless, and Jiang Yiwu is loyal and honest. At this moment, these words really took back the momentum. Unfortunately, Yang Qiu had an idea in his heart and said decisively without waiting for him to speak: "Mr. Juzheng, Governor Li! I don't want to fight again today! There will always be a day when the truth will be revealed! Since Sun Wu said that my soldiers abused force and killed patriots by chance, I will bear this responsibility! Please give me a testimony. From now on, I would like to resign from the position of Deputy Minister of Military Affairs and the position of Yangxia Branch Office! I would like to take Sun Wu as the head of the branch office to manage Yangxia. Yang himself immediately led his troops to Dahongshan to fight against Beiyang!"

It may be nothing to resign as Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, but he quit his position as Chief of Yangxia Branch and even let himself become Chief of Secretary of the Branch! Isn’t this a God-given opportunity? Sun Wu’s face flushed with excitement, but Li Yuanhong thought Yang Qiu was going to lead troops out of Hubei, so he stood up and said with a serious expression: “Chen Hua, you have to think clearly, the righteousness cannot be violated!”

"Yang's heart for the country and the people is a testament to heaven and earth! The right-road army did not have the ability to be a slave to the Manchu Tartar emperor! If he unfortunately died of a humble position, you don't have to make things difficult for both of you." After Yang Qiu said hard, he turned his head and glared at Zhang Zhenwu coldly: "This slap is for you to remember! The success of the revolution does not mean that you can not uphold military discipline! Next time I see you point your gun at Shangguan... Kill it without any hesitation!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and walked out with Lei Meng. When he passed by Sun Wu, he deliberately paused slightly before striding away.

Qiu Wenbin saw Sun Wu who was clenching his fists tightly, and also saw his back that never seemed to be bent. However, he didn't know how much the incident just now touched this young man who suddenly rose up. Faced with Sun Wu's counterattack, his steps became firm again.
