When faced with interviews with two reporters, Wang Zhenyu's reply was very careful and organized, which directly subverted the two people's understanding of the rude and uneducated soldiers of this era. At the same time, it also surprised Shao Piaoping and Huang Yuansheng at the courage and courage of this young civilian military officer.

Shao Piaoping: "Wang Guandai, I am very curious about why you dared to take such a big risk and lead a lonely army into the hinterland of the Tartar soldiers to carry out such a night attack."

Wang Zhenyu: "I didn't think so much at that time. I just wanted to complete Commander-in-Chief Huang's orders and destroy the Tartars' baggage in any case."

Huang Yuansheng: "What about the ambush later? As far as I know, you have succeeded at that time. If you don't retreat in the dark, why would you risk such an ambush?"

Wang Zhenyu: "If you don't eat the fat meat you deliver to your door, you will be sorry to the martyrs who died. And it is precisely such an unplanned ambush that forced the enemy troops to return to the Yudai Gate, and I can take my brothers back from Zongguan's original route in a swagger! Haha, now I think about it, and the two great reporters have a wonderful writing, but this must be written truthfully. Otherwise, readers will think I am a fortune teller who can do it. Then brothers will really have to find a place to set up a fortune teller in the future. Haha."

Wang Zhenyu's honesty, wit and humor made everyone laugh. The interview activity became easy and pleasant to get. However, at the deadline, Wang Zhenyu read the manuscript. It was a military operation, which was completely a fascinating legendary novel. (In fact, the surprise attack on the Jade Belt Gate really made these two serialized in the later reports.) At the end of the interview, Shao Piaoping even held Wang Zhenyu's hand with a little excitement and said: "Wang Guandai, the civil army can have an outstanding young officer like you who is brave and knowledgeable, and it is just around the corner to overthrow the Qing Dynasty!"

It was Huang Yuansheng who held his eyebrows and said to Wang Zhenyu: "Wang Guandai, do you think this revolution will win?"

Wang Zhenyu came from later generations. He naturally knew that from the perspective of the original purpose, the Xinhai Revolution was a failed revolution, and it was a very failed revolution. It was just that the existing political power was distributed in a secondary manner, and the power was transferred from the Qing Dynasty's powerful group to the hands of the Beiyang collective and some so-called new revolutionary warlords. Then the sky was still the same heaven, the earth was still the same earth, and the great powers became more domineering, and the lives of the people were naturally even more difficult. Therefore, the Xinhai Revolution was great, but for the common people, it was completely the beginning of a disaster.

But for China, this is just a pain in its new life and is inevitable.

Wang Zhenyu naturally could not say these words to Huang Yuanshengming. After all, a deep friendship with others is a taboo in any era. He just held the hand of this famous journalist of the Republic of China very strongly and said: "The revolution has never been just the beginning, not the end. The road to victory is still long, and it is worth our generation's life to struggle and pursue."

Just this last sentence made Huang Yuansheng recall it for a long time afterwards. Until a few years later, Huang Yuansheng was shot and killed by an assassin in the United States by the founding father Sun Yat-sen. At the moment before his death, he suddenly remembered this sentence again, as if he understood it all.

Although Hanmin Daily is just a tabloid, China's newspaper industry is so big at this time, and newspapers in Shanghai even gather on the same street.

Once the news was released, in an era when there was no intellectual property protection, major newspapers and magazines reprinted articles jointly published by Shao Piaoping and Huang Yuansheng, which was the only time the two collaborated on articles in history.

The name Wang Zhenyu was soon hailed as the two gods of war in the civil army, along with Wang Zhenya (later renamed Wang Zhengya), who had won Jingzhou, who was later renamed Wang Zhengya. Although both of them are not heavyweights in the civil army at present, they have now become the hope of this revolution.

Both of them are from Hunan, but their names are so close that the common people who don’t know the inside story mistakenly think that the two are brothers, spreading the legend that the Wang family will destroy the Tartars everywhere, but they don’t know who is the eldest and who is the second.

As the oldest English newspaper in China, how could the editors of "Zi Linxi Daily" turn a blind eye? They naturally reprinted the news of the Yudaimen surprise attack on the Warrior Army.

On November 25, 1911, it was already winter in Beijing, the capital of the Qing Empire. The cold wind was raging, and the earth had long been covered with thick silver clothes. There were few pedestrians on the streets. The dark red palace walls of the Forbidden City still stood high, and seemed very abrupt in the vast white area. The entire imperial city still looked so grand and majestic, but the faint feeling of decline could not be concealed by the vast white snow.

The war in the south was very unhappy. Yuan Shikai, who was ordered in danger, monopolized the power like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms, and raised the thieves with respect. Although there were many princes and nobles in the Qing Empire, few had the strength and mind to defend the 200-year foundation created by the ancestors. Some officials who were still loyal to the Qing Dynasty could not come up with any good rules except sitting in the yamen all day long and sighing. A large number of corrupt scholars who regarded themselves as a student of Confucius and Mencius shouted at the palace gate every day to be loyal to the country, but there were no one who was brave enough to go south to fight to the rebels. The entire empire was like a large wooden ship with a large amount of water inflow. It must be repaired, but I don’t know when it will sink in the end.

In Zhongnanhai, Yuan Shikai's eldest son Yuan Keding was dragging his legs and stepping on Bai Xue to find his father. After a closer look, the eldest son Yuan was holding the latest issue of "Zero Linxi Daily".

"Father, look, the newspaper says that Lord Feng and the others were defeated in Han stuttering." Yuan Keding shouted as soon as he entered the door.

Yuan Shikai was sitting in the hall with a straight face, and had just finished discussing some important matters with Xu Shichang and others.

The situation in Beijing is also very unstable, and all kinds of messy forces are operating. Especially the bannermen who know the situation is over seem unwilling to accept it. They are afraid that their iron rice bowl will not be guaranteed after this change of time. Liangbi and some princes who know the military even formed a sect and social party, saying that they would swear to defend the Qing Dynasty to the death. They even publicly claimed that Yuan Shikai was the living Cao Cao of the world.

These small-scale fights may not be a climatic situation. At present, it seems that it is not enough to worry. What really worries Lao Yuan the most is the first town guarding Beijing. Most of the officers and soldiers in the town are bannermen, which is not as good as the other five towns in Beiyang who only recognize him. This problem has troubled him for a long time since Yuan Shikai's comeback. No one wants to have such an unreliable armed force under his nose that is enough to threaten his life! As for forcibly dismissal or transferring, it is not practical. If Yuan Shikai really wants to do this, the gang of princes who are not brave enough to jump over the wall. These second-generation ancestors have no other skills. If they make a mess, they will make Beijing uneasy, and then their plans to force the palace will be greatly affected.

However, now, the problem that Yuan Shikai could not sleep well every night has been completely solved. Dog-headed military advisor Yang Dugang thought of a trick for him. The solution is simple. Just let someone directly transfer the weapons and ammunition of the First Town secretly. If these bannermen have no weapons, they will be no different from the common people. Naturally, they are not afraid of them making trouble.

With this trick, the big stone that was pressing on Yuan Shikai's heart was considered to have fallen into the ground. As soon as he ordered his subordinates to do it, before he could be proud, his son's yelling in the door ruined his rare good mood for the past few days.

But it was related to the Hubei front line, Yuan Shikai had to pay attention, and he waved his hand to signal the others to retreat.

"What a defeat? Why didn't I receive a report? Why are you yelling about? Determine my son?" Yuan Shikai has been working as an official for a long time, and when he loses his temper, he speaks calmly and calmly.

Yuan Keding, who is familiar with the character of Old Yuan, knew that he was really angry when he heard this. His neck shrank and he quickly said softly, "The newspaper said that it was the Yudaimen Station in Hankou that was blown up by the rioters. Our army on the front line of Hubei has lost its supplies, and the war will probably be postponed."

After saying that, he handed the newspaper to his father Lao Yuan through the table. Yuan Shikai took it and took a closer look, but it turned out to be different from what Yuan Keding expected. Not only was he not angry, he even laughed after a while.

Yuan Keding was a little surprised: "Why did my father laugh? Could it be that this news is fake?"

Yuan Shikai waved his hand and said, "The news should be true. A few days ago, Hua Fu sent me a telegram and told me that the civilian army counterattacked Hankou. Although it had been defeated, the ammunition stored in the Yudai Gate was almost exhausted. I asked me to allocate another batch to him. I thought it was strange at the time. If these two were compared, it would not be fake. Your loyal and patriotic uncle seemed to have suffered a great loss in Hankou! Haha!"

"Ah, then Lord Feng is just trying to deceive his father, what's wrong?" Yuan Keding immediately understood, but thought of another aspect of the problem.

Yuan Shikai smiled and shook his head: "Come here, my silly son, do you know the most important words of the way to be an official?"

Yuan Keding stood on the inside of the table, stood beside his father, thinking for a while and honestly said: "Loyalty? Get rich when you get promoted?"

Yuan Shikai's eyes slanted and he gently patted Yuan Keding's head: "I'm wrong, I'm deceiving my superiors and hiding my subordinates."

"I have already told him that Feng Huafu, and the supplies in the capital are tight now, so he can't transfer them. Haha, okay, isn't he determined to destroy the rebellion and protect the Qing Dynasty? Without supplies, I think what he can do to wipe out those rebellious parties." Yuan Shikai originally intended to be a fake attack, raise bandits and respect himself, so as to force the Qing emperor to abdicate. But Feng Guozhang wanted to learn from Zeng Guofan, but he actually fought. He took the initiative to defeat the civilian army in Hankou. At that time, Yuan Shikai was really afraid that Feng Guozhang would destroy the civilian army. After severely scolding him for advancing alone, he had sent Duan Qirui to take over the military power in Feng Guozhang overnight. As for Feng Guozhang, the lord, Yuan Shikai issued an order to transfer him to the president of the Imperial Guards. The order is now in Duan Qirui's hands. Duan Qirui should go to Xinyang now, right? Old Yuan thought.

But the key point is not here. Yuan Shikai thought of another question when he looked at the newspaper: "Silly son, look carefully. Although this newspaper is a Western thing, it is a good thing. It is much more useful than those who claim to be a pure stream and do not do practical things. With these newspapers, you can know what the people at the bottom are thinking and doing, and you can also bypass the people below to know the truth of the matter. In this way, we who are in the top will not be deceived by the people below, and we can also handle this state affairs slowly."

"But father, do the people below dare to lie to us? Are they not afraid of the matter being exposed and dismissed?"

Looking at Yuan Keding's stupid son, he seemed to really not understand. Old Yuan sighed. He had been smart all his life, so why did he raise such a half bucket of water?

"There are no truths and lies in this world. For the superiors, there are only truths and things they want to hear. You are above and below, and the promotion and honor and disgrace are all dependent on you. They dare not tell lies unless they are absolutely necessary, but they dare not tell the truth. They will only please you, flatter you, and say what you want to hear. If you want to hear the truth, they will tell the truth. If you want to hear the lies, they will tell the truth. If you want to hear the lies, they will tell the lies. The problem is that this kind of lies will not kill people, but if you really believe it, something big will happen. Look, it will be different with this newspaper. They don't rely on us to make a living, and they will say whatever they see. This is the truth. So, for my father, you will ask you to read more books and newspapers on weekdays, and that's what it means to get."

Yuan Keding's eyes rolled, and he seemed to have caught the key point.
