    ps: Thank you to Brother ¡®Shenzhi Shen¡¯ for your monthly ticket, thank you!  !  "The Wuchang rebels attacked the Liujia Temple in Hankou ten days ago, and Hunan, Shaanxi and Jiangxi became independent on the 22nd and 23rd. The rebel bandits are growing stronger day by day. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief is sitting in Zhangde, strategizing thousands of miles away  ¡­¡± After Feng Guozhang went south to reinforce the military command of the Second Beiyang Army, he only listened to Yuan Shikai¡¯s secret orders along the way and ignored Yinchang¡¯s command. The Qing government had no choice but to formally appoint Yuan Shikai as the imperial envoy to command Beiyang on October 27.  The army attacked Wuhan.  After Governor Yuan Shikai arrived in Hubei, he naturally stationed himself at Xiaogan Xiaojiagang. At the same time, he invited Feng Guozhang to take over the post of military commander of the First Army in Yinchang, Minister of War, and lined up on the river, echoing the warships of Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other powers.  That's why the emperor and his ministers were so happy with each other just now.  "There are foreign warships arrayed on the river, and the rebel forces are completely unable to deploy. The bulldozing of the rebels is just around the corner. Hua Fu has worked hard these days. Why not take some rest tonight, and wait until the time for the bombardment is agreed with the British army tomorrow?  Deploy troops and generals to attack Hankou and Hanyang in two directions" "Tsk!" Looking at Yuan Shikai's confident expression, Feng Guozhang naturally knew how to behave, and deployed Li Chun, Wang Zhanyuan and Chen Guangyuan in person.  , it was scheduled to divide the troops in the early morning of tomorrow, and take turns to attack Hankou and Hanyang. Then he raised his wine glass respectfully, "The commander-in-chief comes out of the mountain at a time of crisis. The general morale of the Beiyang soldiers will be greatly boosted. We only have to wait for tomorrow's battle to turn the tide."  , and then swept across the territory" "Hahaha, don't rush, let these clowns struggle for a few days, and we will have no worries until Yikuang announces his illness and resigns as prime minister.  Let's fight" Yuan Shikai looked at Feng Guozhang's proud face, laughed loudly, and looked at Feng Guozhang pointedly, and then rewarded the proud soldiers of the Beiyang Army. Although  He did not make any big promises about official appointments, but he also pointed out the information that he was about to become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. When the generals under his command excitedly promoted cups and cups one after another.  He responded without hesitation This banquet made everyone drunk.  This was considered a hasty dispersal at Yuan Shikai's suggestion. However, in the military camp on the other side of the river, military formations were being arranged intensively Coincidentally, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren also took the bus from Shanghai today.  The ship arrived in Wuchang.  As the marshal of the rebel army.  Huang Xing was naturally obliged to go to the Hankou front line to supervise the battle.  As the person Huang Xing valued and trusted the most, Yang Meng still had no intention of showing up "It seems that the Qing army may have to change its outlook this time. Are you ready to take action?" "Yes, Master Yu Wuchang  After Shouyi tracked down Rui Zheng, the governor of Huguang, they rushed thousands of miles through the night to attack Zhangde. Although they failed to take off Yuan Shikai's head due to many reasons, they made a three-part agreement with him and got exact information from him, and learned that the Beiyang Army  Under the leadership of Duan Qirui, all the troops on the rear route have been deployed. Once the two armies meet in Wuhan, it may be difficult to save the battles of Hankou and Hanyang. Only the Wuchang line can be defended by taking advantage of the enemy's strength"  Seeing that Huang Xing and the commanders of the Wuchang Rebel Army looked a little solemn, Wang Yaqiao, who had led a group of agents from Chengdu to Wuhan early, quickly stepped forward to explain in detail. He just looked at the faces of everyone with a look of unity and righteousness. Obviously,  He didn't listen to his own advice at all, so he had to change the subject and follow Yang Meng's wishes with another set of words "Yuan Shikai has always been good at military affairs. Regardless of the number of our rebel army,  Even in terms of quality, I'm afraid it's hard to compete head-on with the Beiyang Army. The master told me before leaving that if you don't want to lose two places and retreat to the river, then you must be prepared to divide your troops for street fighting early.  First, even if our army is really defeated, it can still cause certain casualties to the Beiyang Army" "Okay!" After hearing Wang Yaqiao's words, Huang Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stretched out his hand to take a picture to avoid being dazzled.  Looking at the military map, Wang Yaqiao excitedly grabbed Wang Yaqiao and laughed, "Your master has always been like a dragon without seeing its end. He ran thousands of miles at night to assassinate Yuan Shikai alone. It was really too risky, but from this perspective  He is unique, but he is still better than me, Huang. I wonder if he has anything else to say to you?" Wang Yaqiao smiled and secretly praised the master for being really powerful. He could clearly understand the thoughts of everyone in front of him in advance. The same thing.  According to what he said, he immediately won everyone's approval. It seems that although the rebel army has a fearless spirit of dedication, if they don't use the Beiyang Army to sharpen it, they may really do it in the future.  Because of this kind of uprightness, the fruits of victory of the revolution were finally stolen Perhaps, this is the difference between politicians and revolutionary parties.  "Teacher"He also said that the ultimate success or failure of this revolution does not depend on whether the three towns in Wuhan can hold the battle, but on whether the revolution in other provinces and regions can spread rapidly across the country in the shortest possible time  "    "oh?  Does he mean to use peripheral independence to obtain reinforcements to defend the three towns of Wuhan?  "Wang Yaqiao looked at the expressions of deep understanding on everyone's faces and shook his head in confusion, "At this time, five provinces have declared independence one after another. As long as our army persists in Wuhan for one more day, there may be a few more revolutionary martyrs at home and abroad. Several provinces even raised the flag of righteousness, forming a general independent trend of vertical and horizontal alliances, which in turn frightened the morale of the Qing court and even the Beiyang military, and invisibly influenced the great powers such as Britain, France, Russia, and Germany, and attempted to interfere in my country's democratic revolution and other measures " Everyone looked at each other, and then they felt Yang Meng's strategic vision of looking at the overall situation. As for Marshal Huang Xing, he couldn't help but sigh, "I'm just talking about it on paper, but I don't think your master has already calculated it, regardless of personal matters. In order to protect his safety, he went north to the capital alone Such good words, I wish I could hear them in my ears" At this point, Huang Xing discussed the feasibility of this move with everyone, and after completely understanding Yang After realizing Meng's strategic intention to go north alone, Wang Yaqiao's unfinished eyes revealed that Yang Meng might have other arrangements and back-up plans, "If he has any other instructions, tell them immediately!  "Wang Yaqiao looked at the other childish rebel commanders and was finally completely shocked by Yang Meng's successive strategies. A solemn look appeared on his face and he nodded to Huang Xing, "Master finally said  I said that although our Wuchang army is advancing alone, it can also rely on the independent momentum of the provinces to affect the morale of the Beiyang Army and form a stalemate across the river. However, it cannot change the fact that our military strength is insufficient. Once Hankou and Hanyang are lost, our army's morale will decline.  It will be a big setback, and even affect the general trend of the entire revolutionary uprising" Having said this, Wang Yaqiao's confidence grew stronger. He raised his hand and drew several marks on the map, and then continued: "So, the best policy is  Divide some of the rebels into pieces, and use the favorable geographical conditions of Hankou and Hanyang to delay the entire campaign with the strategy of guerrilla street fighting. At the same time, the main force of our army will be returned to Wuchang to temporarily avoid its peak. When Yuan Shikai stands still, he can naturally take the initiative to fight with him.  Liaison, relying on his disobedience, first joined forces with independent military governments in other provinces to force the Qing royal family to abdicate, creating the first republic of China and democracy, and then awakened the people's desire to save themselves and establish independence, forming a military-political alliance of Congress  " "In this way, we can put Yuan Shikai into a dilemma where the whole country is the enemy, and obtain a steady stream of reinforcements from other independent provinces!  " Huang Xing clapped his hands and walked around on the ground with excitement. When he reached the tenth round, he resolutely deployed the task to everyone, "I ordered the first battalion sergeant to retreat.  The first line of defense was lurking on the spot among the residents of Hankou. The second battalion and the fourth battalion returned to Wuchang and defended across the river to prevent the Beiyang Army from making a big move. The third battalion set up skirmishers at the junction of Hankou and Hanyang.  "Marshal, don't forget about our CIA" Looking at Huang Xing standing in front of the table and pointing out the country, I had already learned from Yang Meng that he was extremely accomplished in military command.  Wang Yaqiao, who could not be called a famous general, quickly followed up on his words, took over the second half of the task in the Hankou street battle, and gave Huang Xing a general overview of the CIA's current equipment and combat capabilities.  Seeing that the tactics Wang Yaqiao said were all commendable, he nodded in surprise and laughed, "Very good, I didn't expect that the CIA's power would also grow under your management. As a result, Hanyang over there  I will let the third and fourth battalions withstand the pressure with all their strength" Just as everyone was discussing the war situation sleeplessly, they suddenly heard bursts of noise coming from outside the window, including quarreling and crying.  When he hurriedly walked out of the headquarters in surprise, he realized that there was a faint sound of engines starting from the river. Even before everyone could convey the tactics they had discussed, they felt the sound from the river that was suddenly exploded.  The determination of the warships of the great powers to launch together! "The foreigners are testing the shooting at Zhu Yuan. They are likely to tear up their declaration of neutrality and ask the marshal to issue the war order first, and then lead the main force back to Wuchang" Wang Yaqiao raised his telescope,  Looking to the river in the distance, I saw more than 20 warships slowly turning around on the open river. After the formation is completed, they may launch an artillery bombardment at any time "Quick, let the artillery battalion go."  Be prepared to fight back, and ask the 2nd and 4th Battalions to follow me back to Wuchang. As for the Hankou frontline" "Marshal takes the first step, and the street fighting behind will be left to us, the CIA!  "Wang Yaqiao saw a large number of soldiers appearing on the streets of Hankou.With the help of the gang, they dispersed and lurked in various hidden places, quickly interrupting Huang Xing's momentum of continuing to issue orders, and asked Jiang Yiwu and others to forcibly pull Huang Xing away. However, before everyone had finished lurking, they heard the formation  The artillery roared, and then the flower-filled Hankou was plunged into a series of explosions and flames¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ (To be continued)
