    Zuo Gongxian replied politely: "I would like to ask Governor Tan to assess the situation and change the banner as soon as possible to avoid the people of Sanxiang being devastated once the war breaks out!"

    Tan Yankai said: "Our province has been debating the issue of independence against Yuan for a long time, and it was only settled a few days ago. The people of the province have been heading straight towards Huanglong. If the independence is suddenly announced to be cancelled, it will inevitably cause confusion and fear.  It is a matter of ridicule that the order should be changed in the morning and evening. Moreover, the matter is serious, so let me think about it carefully for a few days!"

    Zeng Guangxi sneered and said: "Think about it for a few days? I'm afraid Changsha will have been bombed into ruins by then, and it's still unclear whether the Governor's Mansion will exist or not. Do you want to think about it for a few more days?"

    Zuo Gongxian also said: "To be honest, while I was talking to brother Zu An, the Second Division of the Hubei Army, which was gathered in Changle, Hefeng, Laifeng, and Xuan'en areas of Hubei Province, had crossed the border and headed towards Li in our province.  Prefecture, Yongshun Prefecture. Although Brother Zu An had previously adjusted the military deployment in northwest Hunan to deal with the incoming enemy from Hubei, no matter the number of soldiers or weapons and equipment, the defense forces there could not compete with the well-prepared Second Hubei Army.  Divisions are at odds with each other, and once they formally engage in battle, they are defeated in just a matter of seconds.

    "Lizhou is only six hundred miles away from Changsha. There is no natural barrier in the middle. In addition, the guns and ammunition of the Military Uniform Bureau have been completely destroyed. The resistance of the army can be said to be minimal. If nothing happens, it will be enough to defeat the Northern Army in a few days.  The troops are approaching Changsha City! At that time, it will not be a matter of brother Zu An whether you are willing to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side, but everyone will be rushing to sell you and Hunan to the Northern Army!"

    "What joy is there in life, and nothing to be afraid of in death!" Tan Yankai said with an awe-inspiring expression of righteousness: "Being bound and sent to the front of the Northern Army was nothing more than death. Surrendering now is nothing more than death. It is also death. Why not preserve your honor and sacrifice yourself for the revolution?  ? After thousands of years, he can still be regarded as a loyal minister and martyr! 'When it penetrates the sun and the moon, life and death are settled. The earth depends on it, and the sky pillar depends on it. The three cardinal principles are the basis of life, and morality is the root!'"

    Zeng Guangxi curled his lips secretly: If you were really a loyal minister and martyr, you should have committed suicide after the Revolution of 1911. How come you have survived until now and are still sitting on the throne of Hunan governor for nothing?

    Zuo Gongxian quickly advised: "Brother Zu An's words are wrong! As we all know, Hunan's declaration of independence this time was not Brother Zu An's original intention, but Brother Zu An was forced to do so by the party members. It was really out of necessity. The so-called '  Even if he does evil unintentionally, he will not be punished.' How could Brother Zuan be so benevolent to the people of Sanxiang? Furthermore, Zhengshuo of the Central Committee is now in the north, not Sun Yixian, Huang Keqiang and others. Even though Brother Zuan is now using  If he marries himself, he will not be able to escape the name of a rebellious minister and a traitor a hundred years later. How can he be called a loyal minister and martyr?"

    Tan Yankai was speechless, as if what Zuo Gongxian said touched him.

    Zuo Gongxian hurriedly took advantage of the heat to hit the railway: "Brother Zu An, don't worry, Mr. Sun has always cherished talents and never limited himself to the opinions of his family. For example, Qian Qianchen (Qian Nengxun), the governor of Shaanxi in the former Qing Dynasty, is now the civil affairs minister of Sichuan  ; General Yao Zhishan (Yao Baolai), the former second commander of the Imperial Guards of the Qing Dynasty, is now the commander of the 47th Mixed Brigade of the Army. Brother Zu An is famous all over the world for his romantic articles. If he can judge his emotions and reason, he can change his banner in time.  , I will definitely win Mr. Sun¡¯s favor!¡±

    Tan Yankai pretended to be surprised: "Why surrender to Prime Minister Sun Baixi instead of President Yuan Da?"

    Zeng Guangxi suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Brother Zhizhong, let's go! I still don't repent of the ax blade on my neck. I want to see if Governor Tan can live to see Yuan Xiangcheng!"

    "Please be patient, sir!" Zuo Gong first reached out to stop Zeng Guangxi, who was on the verge of going berserk, and continued to speak harmoniously to Tan Yankai: "Brother Zu An's question is very reasonable. I'm afraid most people have this question. Zuo doesn't  I dare to speak loudly to deceive the Fang family. I just want to list four facts for you to judge for yourself. The first one is that Yuan Xiangcheng was born in the ninth year of Xianfeng of Emperor Wenzong (1859) and is now fifty-five; while Mr. Sun was born in the second year of Guangxu (1876).  ) was born, and now he is only thirty-eight. There is a 17-year age difference between the two.

    "Second, the reason why Yuan Xiangcheng is rampant in the world is because he has 80,000 Beiyang elites who are well-equipped and well-trained. Although Sun Yuanqi's soldiers are not as elite as the six Beiyang towns, their number is not less than 80,000. In addition, there are planes to assist.  , should be barely able to fight. Of course, the reason why Mr. Sun is famous all over the world is not his martial arts, but his martial arts. Among all the young students in the world, who has not read Mr. Sun's writings? And who has not been favored by Mr. Sun?

    "Article 3: Yuan Xiangcheng's only way to make money, apart from exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, is to use national sovereignty as collateral to borrow money from foreign banks. One of the main reasons for the independence of four provinces and the coalition against Yuan this time is borrowing. Mr. Sun  Not only does he not rely on excessive levies and miscellaneous taxes, he is exempted from normal taxes. His financial resources come from the many industries he founded. Objects such as monosodium glutamate, electric lights, and radios have entered thousands of households. Banknotes issued by Huaxi Bank, minted  Silver dollars circulate throughout the country, various special medicines that are more cost-effective than gold are marketed around the world.

    "Article 4, Yuan Xiangcheng's main target for this southern expedition is Jiangxi, Anhui, and Jiangsu provinces. At this moment, the Beiyang Army is following the White Wolf bandit army into Anhui, preparing to show off with Bai Liewu, the governor of Anhui. In a moment and a half  There is no time to take care of Hunan. Now Mr. Sun's Hubei Army's Second Division has entered Lizhou and Yongshun Prefecture, less than ten days' journey from Changsha.

    "I wonder if Brother Zu An agrees with these four facts? I believe that after you agree, you will definitely make a wise choice!"

    Tan Yankai thought for a long time before sighing dejectedly: "On the matter of abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, I will rely on my brother Zhizhong's advice. I just have a few small requests. I hope Prime Minister Baixi can agree to it!"

    The negotiation has officially entered the bargaining stage.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Sun Yuanqi was a little surprised at first when he received the joint secret message from Zuo Gongxian and Zeng Guangxi. He soon put down his emotions and quickly sent someone to invite Yang Du, Chen Xun'en, Yang Yongtai, Jiang Zhiqing and others to come over for discussion.

    After Yang Du read the telegram, he handed it to Yang Yongtai beside him, then waved his folding fan and said, "Tan Zuan is so open-minded! Not only does he want to continue to hold the position of governor, but he also wants to retain the original army, withhold 50% of taxes,  He appoints his own officials and does not allow the central government to interfere in local politics. How can he surrender? He is clearly taking over the mountain and becoming the king!"

    "He is used to being a mother-in-law and cannot be a daughter-in-law!" After Yang Yongtai became the cabinet chief, he became obviously more arrogant. "A local warlord like him who doesn't know how to praise clearly doesn't know how high the sky is. We must give him a taste of the power."  Don¡¯t try it. For example, let the planes bomb in Changsha and Changde for three to five days, and keep him docile!"

    "Just as Chang Qing said!" Jiang Zhiqing also said: "Sir, you don't need to waste so much time with him. Anyway, Liu and Yin's Hubei Army's Second Division has already conquered Lizhou and Yongshun. It should be easy to capture Changsha. At most,  A few more days of work will be wasted and a few more artillery shells will be wasted. If it is resolved through negotiations, Hunan will inevitably become a mess, leaving huge hidden dangers for the future. Why bother?"

    Yang Du looked at Sun Yuanqi: "Baixi, what do you think should be done?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Although Hunan suffered a major disaster before, and 90% of its firearms and ammunition were lost due to bombing. In addition, the Hunan Army only has one division and one newly formed brigade. With Liu Bocheng and Yin Shuoquan commanding the troops, it should be easy to pacify Hunan.  But in my opinion, it is better not to fight if it can be done, and it is better to go through negotiation if it can be solved. Because it is easy to destroy Hunan, it will only take a month or two at most; but to rebuild it well, it will not be one or two.  If it can be completed in a few months, it will take at least three to five years to recover!"

    Everyone knew Sun Yuanqi¡¯s temper, so they had no choice but to give up the idea of ??using force to attack Hunan.

    Yang Du said slowly: "Yang understands that you want to completely obtain Hunan through force. This is indeed a long-term perspective. However, the current situation is ever-changing and the opportunity is fleeting. We are not allowed to use force as we wish. Just like now.  Anhui, although the Beiyang Army in northern Anhui was murderous and eager to attack, and the Yuan Army in the south of the Yangtze River also vowed to fight the Northern Expedition, preparing to cross the river overnight, it seemed that the war was about to break out. However, according to confidential intelligence, Yuan Xiangcheng had already sent people to communicate with the commander of the Anhui First Division stationed in Anqing.  Hu Wantai contacted, and the defection only took a moment. As long as Hu Wantai rebelled, Anhui would not attack.

    "Currently we don't know who Yuan Xiangcheng has contacted in Hunan, and when he plans to launch an attack. What if the people Yuan Xiangcheng instigated took the lead in capturing Changsha and were appointed governor by the Presidential Office? Can we continue to march against Changsha?  ? Now that the situation is urgent, the best strategy is to subjugate the enemy without fighting as Bai Xi said! Of course, it is also in our long-term interests to peacefully resolve Hunan and preserve our vitality as much as possible. "

    Everyone felt a little relieved.

    Yang Du continued: "The other key point is that the opportunity is rare now. Once something happens here, we don't know when we will have the opportunity to reasonably raise troops for conquest in the future, so we must not stop at Hunan. This time Yuan Xiangcheng will conquer all the troops in one fell swoop  The strength of Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places has greatly increased. If we are only satisfied with capturing Hunan Province, the future situation will be very unfavorable to us!"

    Hearing this, Jiang Zhiqing stood up and walked to the map: "We can't stop at Hunan? Are Mr. Xizi going east to compete with Yuan Xiangcheng for Jiangxi, or going west to conquer Yunnan and Guizhou, or going south to conquer Guangdong and Guangxi?"

    Yang Du shook his fan and replied: "Jiangxi is the territory of Li Xiehe (Li Liejun). Li Xiehe is known as Zhibing, and the Gan army under his command is not weak in combat. Even Yuan Xiangcheng does not dare to underestimate him, he is a tough guy.  Why should we provoke him? Besides, Jiangxi is surrounded by mountains, the land is barren and the people are poor. It is not enough to gain anything, so why not give it to Yuan Xiangcheng!

    "As for the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, the land is narrow, the people are strong, and the poverty is even worse than that of Jiangxi. And Cai Songpo (Cai E)'s military ability is far superior to that of Li Xiehe. In theory, it is better to attack Jiangxi. And if we can't fight without  If we seize the power of Hunan to attack Guangdong and Guangxi, then Yunnan and Guizhou will be in our pocket. So we should go south to seize Guangdong and Guangdong, and it is best to seize Guangdong first!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Li Xiehe's ability is far beyond that of Li Xiehe, so it is better to attack Jiangxi.  Moreover, if we seize the power of Hunan without fighting and attack Guangdong and Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou will be in our pocket.  Therefore, we should go south to capture Guangdong and Guangdong, and it is best to capture Guangdong first!  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
