Two hundred and thirty-seventh vertical and horizontal
At Hankou Railway Station, a train just stopped next to the station platform, and the cars they were towed were opened one by one.
"Quick, fast, fast, there is a train behind, so let me move quickly."
Standing at the large mén in the carriage, some Beiyang officers wearing gray sè uniforms greeted loudly, and behind them, Beiyang soldiers wearing gray sè uniforms jumped to the platform one by one.
"Zhiquan, which army is this?"
Standing in a three-story building next to the train station, looking at the Beiyang soldiers who were getting off the train, Feng Guozhang, who had just returned to Wuhan, looked at Duan Qirui on the side.
After hearing Feng Guozhang's question, Duan Qirui, who was also looking at the train station below, quickly answered.
"The fourth brother is the 47th hour and uacuten in Shandong..."
The Beiyang Army's 47th Hún Brigade, which was the 47th Hún Brigade of the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty. The association was adapted from the association into a brigade in February 1912, and its headquarters was Jinan, Shandong.
In the Beiyang, compared with other Hún, the 47th Hún brigade, which was adapted from the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty, obviously had more combat effectiveness. Originally, Yuan Shikai was not going to use the 47th Hún brigade. After all, the conservative forces in the north were much stronger than the south. If enough troops were not left to guard some lands, the old men and sons of the Qing Dynasty were likely to cause trouble.
After all, in the north, there are definitely many people who are still loyal to the Qing royal family like Zhang Xun...
However, the Qianjiang Battle failed, and Beiyang's main force in Hubei was severely damaged. Although several divisions retreating to Hubei were still useful, they were also damaged. Therefore, after allocating two Hún brigades to the north, Yuan Shikai still had to transfer several other combat-capable troops into Wuhan.
In addition to being commanded by He Zonglian, the Beiyang Army's First Division, which was the most worrying thing about Yuan Shikai (the soldiers were all flag soldiers), there were also troops like the 47th Hún Cheng Brigade. Relying on the advance payment of the aftermath loan, Yuan Shikai allocated nearly 30,000 people to reinforce Wuhan in various ways.
However, except for the First Division and the 47th Hún Merchant Brigade, the remaining Hún Merchant Brigades are all underdog troops that have just been established and have little combat effectiveness...
"Han Xin uses troops, the more he has, the better. Although there will definitely be insufficient combat effectiveness, it is much better than not having soldiers at hand..." Duan Qirui looked at Feng Guozhang. "But Fourth Brother, where do you think we should guard?"
Wuhan...
If you have to say it, the entire Wuhan is divided into three parts by the Yangtze River and the Han River, forming a very interesting triangle shape. Among them, Hanyang and Hankou are divided by the Han River, while Wuchang is another part on the other side of the Yangtze River...
When Feng Guozhang heard Duan Qirui’s question, he smiled bitterly twice before answering.
"If possible, I really hope to only guard Hankou and Wuchang. After all, Hankou has Han River and Wuchang has natural dangers to rely on, but the current situation is that you must fight for an inch of land..."
Cai E of Yunnan and Tan Yankai of Hunan have officially stood on Yan Guang's side, Sun Daoren of Fujian and Zhu Rui of Zhejiang are also ready to move. Not to mention the strategy of concession, even if they are at a slight disadvantage, those two companies may jump out to rebel...
So even if Feng Guozhang knew that concentrating troops to defend Wuchang and Hankou was the best choice, he had to fight for an inch of land...
Just as Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui met and smiled bitterly, all the soldiers on the train had jumped off. Then, before the train left for a long time, the new train had already entered the platform, and then the scene just happened...
Just as Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang were watching the scene in front of him, Feng Guozhang suddenly spoke.
"Zhiquan, do you think Gong Bao's plan will be successful..."
"…………” Hearing Feng Guozhang's words, Duan Qirui was silent and spoke. "I hope Gong Bao's plan will succeed..."
"Yes, I hope it can succeed, so that our pressure can be reduced a lot..." Feng Guozhang sneered twice. "At that time, even if we really retreat to the north, we will not let the Yan surname take over the entire south easily..." He said and looked at Duan Qirui again. "Do you say...... Song Jiaoren was really Gong Bao killed? Or are other people..."
“………”
Duan Qirui's answer to this question is only silent...
---------------------
On the streets of Tokyo, a carriage was driving quickly towards a house in the distance.
Sitting in the carriage was Lu Zongyu, the Chinese ambassador to Japan. The real backbone of the Black Dragon Society was accompanied by him...
"Mr. Toushan, do you think our trip will be successful?"
Although he carries the sacred mission given by Yuan Shikai, Lu Zongyu in the carriage seems to have insufficient confidence...
But Toushanman, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile.
"Mr. Lu, don't worry, Mr. Sun and I are just a matter of fact. It's absolutely fine if I come forward..."
While talking, the carriage had already stopped in front of the house.
"Mr. Lu, please get off the car..."
As he said that, Toushanman also patted Lu Zongyu's big tui to show his comfort...
By the time Toutanman and Lu Zongyu got off the carriage, several members of the Tongmenghui in front of Fangwu mén had already come up.
Then…
"Lu Zongyu"
Seeing Lu Zongyu walking off the carriage with Tongtou Shanman, the faces of several Tongmenghui changed.
As friends of Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others, Toutan Man often comes to the headquarters of the Tongmenghui to drink with the two or talk about the current situation. Therefore, these members of the Tongmenghui who were in front of Mén are very familiar with Toutan Man. When they see Toutan Man, they are just because Toutan Man came here this time with Sun Yat-sen and others.
But Lu Zongyu...
Although there are no gatherings of people in the Tokyo Tongmenghui and Beiyang, how could they not know the people of the Tongmenghui as Chinese ambassadors to Japan?
"This guy is the ambassador to Japan and has foreign immunity. Moreover, there is a Japanese land here. Killing is definitely not possible, otherwise it will only cause trouble to Tongmenghui-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thinking of this, after noticing that Lu Zongyu had no guards except the groom this time, several people from the Tongmenghui looked at each other first, and then walked towards Lu Zongyu with fierce eyes.
The ingredients of the Tongmenghui are already very mixed. Apart from those young students, there is almost nothing that cannot be taken into account. Moreover, there are people like Chen Qimei in the Tongmenghui who "set an example", so there are naturally not many people who are concerned about it.
Lu Zongyu can be considered a human being at the position of the ambassador to Japan, at least it is definitely better than the kids in front of him. So after paying attention to the fierce light in the eyes of these kids, Lu Zongyu first lamented, then retreated behind Toushanman, allowing Toushanman's not tall body to cover himself.
At this time, Toushanman also looked unhappy. Although Beiyang and the Kuomintang did have hatred higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, Lu Zongyu brought it himself. Now these guys want to teach Lu Zongyu a lesson in front of him, isn’t it too unworthy for him to give him face?
But at least Toushanman knew the purpose of his coming, so he just coughed twice and spoke.
"Several people, please inform us at the headquarters, and then Toutanman came here with Mr. Lu Zongyu, the Minister of the Japanese Minister..."
When he heard Toutangshanman's words, several people from the Tongmenghui were stunned for a moment, and then realized that no matter what, they were brought by Toutangshanman, and they had to give face. Moreover, Lu Zongyu and Toutangshanman came together, there must be something important. So after glaring at Lu Zongyu behind Toutangshanman, a young man turned around and walked into the Tongmenghui headquarters behind him.
After the young man walked into the headquarters of the Tongmenghui, the remaining few people were still staring at Lu Zongyu with their eyes. After all, the grudge that drove them out of mainland China was not so easy to eliminate.
Hiding behind Toushanman, Lu Zongyu was not afraid of what they would do to him.
After all, after the Kuomintang was forcibly disbanded by Yuan Shikai, the Tongmenghui was already a stray dog. Now it can only hide in Japan and several other countries, and in Japan it also relies on the help of organizations such as the Black Dragon Society. Now that I have the support of the heads, I don’t need to be afraid of them at all.
Looking at Lu Zongyu's appearance as if I had someone to support him, although the people from the Tongmenghui were so angry that they had no choice but to do anything to him.
After all, there are many things in the Tongmenghui in Japan that require the Black Dragon Association to help, and Toushan Mancha is the backbone of the Black Dragon Association. If he repaired Lu Zongyu he brought in in front of Toushan Man, although he would definitely be angry, he would offend Tushan Man and the Black Dragon Association. This would be a loss...
Fortunately, just when several young people were helpless, they learned that Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others who were brought by Toushanman and Lu Zongyu had already left the headquarters of the Tongmenghui.
"Toushanjun, I haven't seen you for a long time..." Sun Yat-sen, who had just seen Toushanman yesterday, finished speaking, and looked at Lu Zongyu behind Toushanman with his eyes, and then asked. "I don't know Toushanjun..."
"Mr. Sun..." Although Sun Yat-sen was very kind to Toutang Shanman, Toutang Shanman still used the honorific title to Sun Yat-sen. "This time I brought Mr. Lu to discuss matters with Mr. Sun. I wonder if I can go in and discuss with him?"
Although he didn't know what important things Toushanman had to tell him, and he still wanted to take Lu Zongyu, the ambassador to Japan, Sun Yat-sen nodded and said.
"No problem, Mr. Toushan, and..." After looking at Lu Zongyu, Sun Yat-sen said in silence. "And Mr. Lu, please come in too..."
"That's thank you..." Lu Zongyu also knew that Yuan Shikai's affairs on behalf of him were of great importance and there must be no mistakes, so after nodding, Lu Zongyu followed Toushanman, Sun Yat-sen and others into the headquarters of the Tongmenghui.
After entering the living room of Tongmenghui headquarters, Lu Zongyu was shocked by Toutangshanman's instructions as soon as he spoke.
"I am here this time, on behalf of Lord Gong Bao, I invite Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Mr. Huang Xing to return..."
