Chapter four hundred and sixty-eight new students
At the end of summer, Cuiyu's delivery date finally came and she was sent to the church hospital early. Since the delivery date had been determined, the hospital prepared very well and sent experienced staff. However, Cuiyu, who was a mother for the first time, had a nervous look pale face and pulled Zhao Guanhou away. She had always been aware of the general situation, and finally became willful once.
"Don't...please don't leave and accompany me. Even if I die, I want you to watch me die. I have a feeling that I will die, and I am afraid that I won't see you when I die...I want you to talk to me...I want you to hold my hand."
"Don't worry, people don't die so easily. If I'm there, you will die." Zhao Guanhou clapped her hands, comforted her carefully, and instructed the doctors in the hospital, "Please make sure to ensure smooth delivery. I will prepare another 100 taels of gold for rewards."
Yuqing had already returned to Jinan from the capital. She had experienced dyspawning. Knowing how painful the process was, she also pulled the doctor and said, "As long as you keep your adults and children, I will give you a handwritten by Cai Yuanchang..."
The door of the delivery room was closed, and Zhao Guanhou changed into a white coat and walked in. As the door closed, Yu Qing's heart also rose to his throat. At home, the only woman she would not be truly jealous was Cuiyu. The relationship between the two was very complicated. At this time, her level of worry was actually not weaker than Zhao Guanhou.
When she came to the yard and looked at the bright moon in the sky, her hands couldn't help but tidy up and prayed silently: God bless me, bless me, peace in the world...
The hospital was peaceful, but in another city, under the moonlight, there was a cruel scene. The sound of gunfire, the sound of killing, stirring up the city, bleeding and death, charging and defense, and shouting to kill made both sides' voices hoarse.
The former comrades and enemies today are trying their best to kill each other. Zhang Biao, who is the commander of the Eighth Town of the New Army, nicknamed the aunt-in-law, wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked anxiously at the more and more attackers outside the yamen, cursing.
"It's all because Ruizheng was not. If he hadn't drilled into the dog hole first, the battle would not have been like this!" Zhang Biao roared angrily, but this roar was meaningless. As the governor of Huguang who was responsible for defending the territory, he had already dug the dog hole and fled to the Chuyu military ship with his family. He could not even find someone to vent his anger.
Originally, Ge Ming Party's actions could only be considered a mess. The funds came from fraudulent comrades who smoked cigarettes and entered the fried egg workshop, causing the fried egg workshop to explode, the parties involved to escape, and the list and flags fell into the hands of the government. No matter how you look at this, it was also the beginning of the government's victory. Who knew that it would turn out like this.
Ruizheng's escape had a very bad impact. He was the nominal highest military chief executive in Huguang. As soon as he escaped, the troops in Wuchang City either remained silent or left in one battle. Wuchang City, which was stationed with nearly 10,000 troops, could not defeat the Ge Ming army, who had few guns and no heavy artillery, which was simply unimaginable.
The coaching team of the Governor's Office escaped first, and the bannerman regiment was eliminated. Zhang Biao could control only a small number of guards. Other troops who came to assist in the war had low morale because they did not have the command of the Governor and collapsed in one battle. Some of them simply guarded the barracks and protected their garrisons, and were neutral about the battle.
On the contrary, Ge Ming's army's troops were more and more powerful. At first, there were only more than 2,000 people, and most of them were waiting and watching. If they were to be suppressed by large troops, they would probably have been defeated now.
But now, not only have these people's stances become firmer, but the students and scattered soldiers of the city's army elementary school have gradually joined the battle group, and their troops are getting stronger and stronger. The guns and bullets are getting more and more urgent, as if they have obtained ammunition supplies. This is definitely a bad news for the defenders.
In order to prevent the new army from changing, the new army's guns and bullets were separated, and the ammunition was concentrated in large warehouses and kept by the troops he believed in. Now these warehouses are probably lost, and Ge Ming's strength has been strengthened.
Zhang Biao knew that although Wuhan was a place of four battles, it was beneficial to attack but not to defend, and was not the priority choice for uprising. However, after Zhang Xiangtao's hard work, Wuhan had quite some savings.
Hubei's fiscal deposits totaled more than 40 million yuan. In the arsenal, there are also a large number of scrapped copper cannons that can be used to cast copper coins. There are also more than 20,000 foreign guns from Prussia and Fusang, and tens of thousands of homemade rifles in the Hanyang arsenal. If you retreat, wouldn't these things fall into the hands of Ge Ming Dang?
Although he was a Han Chinese, he was loyal to Wanyan. His old proposition Zhang Xiangtao was pissed to death and never shook his loyalty. In the desperate situation, he also had the intention of dying for his country. He held up his revolver and fired while shouting angrily, "Hold on! Hold on to me! When dawn, when our navy arrived, he would use naval guns to bombard them, and none of these rioters would survive!"
"Guanhou!" Cuiyu screamed in pain, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans covered her forehead. The nervous Zhao Guanhou repeatedly wiped her face with a handkerchief.
"Hold on!" Zhang Biao's knife slashed on a rushing Ge Mingjun. He was a sentry officer, Zhang Biao's beloved general. He promoted him from a soldier to the position of sentry officer. Unexpectedly, this ended today.
"Guanhou... must keep the young one, that's a son... your son..." Cuiyu used all her last strength to beg. However, Zhao Guanhou had already ordered the doctor begging "Save the big one or not! I want you to keep the adult one, otherwise I will die if you are a foreigner or not!"
"Preserve the Governor's Office, otherwise no one will survive!" Zhang Biao shouted at the guards under his command. Even though he had suffered heavy casualties, he still fought to the death. The outer wall had fallen, so he changed his guard to the mansion and used the complex terrain of the Governor's Office to deal with the rushing in.
One after another, the rebel soldiers were filled with hatred under his knife. Some of them were beloved generals he promoted, some were familiar faces, and some... he was too lazy to see who was who, and his only reaction was to swing the knife... and swing the knife.
"Send a telegram to Shandong, send a telegram to Zhao Guanshuai, and ask the Fifth Town Second Association, anyone can come." After Zhang Biao cut over another enemy, he was exhausted. He leaned on the knife and his body trembled slightly, which was obviously a sign of excessive force.
A close confidant came over, "The military gate, the lady has retreated to the warship. Let us pass on the message. If we can fight, we will fight, if we can't fight, we will guard, if we can't go... Leave a breath of vitality and wait for the future..."
"The next day...the next day...the next day...the next day is there any future in the Great Jin Kingdom!" Zhang Biao sighed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the person fainted.
It's dawn!
Facing the rising sun, the Yellow Dragon Flag was put down, and a five-color flag was raised at the top of Wuhan city. This is not the first time that the five-color flag was hung, but in the past, it would fall once every time it was hung, and it would not take long before it would be replaced by the Yellow Dragon Flag. This time, I don’t know how long it will take, how long it will take to come back.
As the sun rises, a baby's cry sounds suddenly. The dean wipes away the sweat from his forehead and says with relief: "God blesses the mother and son. Great and kind Lord, may you bless them and keep them away from disease, pain, disaster..."
In the ward, Zhao Guanhou's handkerchief gently rubbed Cuiyu's face, "Why are we crying? Our future is still growing. What should we call this child? Call him Tiedan, or Erlang..."
Cuiyu, who had walked through the gate of hell, was very weak and looked ugly. But she still squeezed a smile and said, "No...No name for the child. Carry my son over and I'll take a look."
"That little thing looks ugly now, there is nothing to see. Go to bed and I'll make some porridge for you."
Cuiyu wanted to shake her head, but she had no strength, so she just stopped her, "You still have business in the yamen, don't waste too much time on me."
"No business matters, you don't matter. My good wife, go to bed and I'll make porridge for you."
The door of the ward suddenly opened, and Yu Qing ran in with a pale face, "Hubei urgently heard that Ge Ming Dang rebelled in Wuchang, the city was lost, Governor Ruizheng fled to the warship, and the commander Zhang Biao was taken to the Fusang Embassy by his subordinates. Hubei has no leader, and the whole province may not be able to save it."
Zhao Guanhou was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed as if nothing had happened. "Wuhan is lost? Just throw it away, it has nothing to do with me. Let's do it. I'm the governor of Shandong, and Huguang is not under my control. There is a Henan in the middle. I can't beat him for a while, and it has nothing to do with me. Come on, let's make porridge for Cuiyu together and even see little. This naughty guy has to torment his mother halfway through his birth. When he grows up, I have to beat him up..."
Listening to the sound gradually fading away, Cuiyu's heart was warm and sweet, and she gently called "Guanhou..." with a smile and fell asleep.
The situation in Hubei was corrupted far faster than Zhao Guanhou imagined. Shortly after Wuhan fell, Hanyang and Hankou were successively lost, and the three towns of Wuhan all fell into the hands of Ge Mingjun. Ge Mingjun took Wuhan as the foundation, took official funds as military pay, and military weapons as capital to start expanding his army on the spot.
The Ge Mingjun official has been established in Wuchang City, and the Grand Commander is the 21st Mixed Association General Li Huangpo. He is known for his generous and kindness in the army. He is the famous Li Bodhisattva and laughing at Arhat. When he was in power, many people were willing to be strong in the new army that was originally observant.
Beijing and Tianjin, newspapers and newspapers of all sizes are running at full capacity. Regardless of whether they have interviewers in Huguang, they all claim that they have exclusive information and the real situation. Special issues, supplements, and numbers are emerging one after another.
For example, a newspaper has hired a young man named Bai Siwen, who is a successful young man in his studies, used four pages in the newspaper to introduce the Qing Buildings in Wuhan City, the red prostitutes, their relationship with this uprising, and the stories that must be told between them and the rebel generals...
In the Tianjin Concession, after reading the newspaper, Li Lianying shook her head and called out to the housekeeper beside him. "Go and buy a train ticket, let's go to Shandong."
"Master, go to Shandong... Why bother? We are in the concession. Even if there is a riot, they will not dare to come to the concession, right?"
"Don't say it too much. The big tree attracts wind. My reputation is here. I don't know how many monkeys are thinking about my savings. It's better to fill the city gate without getting a sea eye. Going to Shandong is a way out. Staying in Tianjin is not safe."
"Can these Ge Mingdang really become a climate? It's just a trap in the three towns. Hongyang was at that time..."
"Don't be more than Hong Yang. The old men are not a weather, so it's not worth fearing. These Ge Ming Party are much better than them. Tianjin people sing civilized operas and yelling to establish constitutionalism. Even the concessions can see their flyers. Did you see Hong Yang so much? My old eyes are not blind yet, and the situation can still be understood. The court is Wu Dalang who eats arsenic and dies, and if he doesn't eat it, he will die. If he uses a bannerman to command the command, he will suffer a loss now. If he uses a Han man to command the command, he will be over in the future. The old man has worked hard all his life. How come her country is so fast when she leaves the country..."
The housekeeper followed the order and went out to prepare. When Li Lianying looked at the house, he naturally thought of Zhao Guanhou, "There is still a hope of stability in the world, that is, Shandong. I hope you can keep my old bones, and I hope you can keep your foundation. The Great Jin Kingdom, it's over."
All members in the cabinet had serious faces. Chengze held the newspaper in his hand and his face turned blue with anger. "Is this still our Dajin newspaper? How it was published is news that supports the unrest. Besides, it is all nonsense. It is obviously a group of unrest parties causing trouble, but what happened? It seems that the court has been defeated. Isn't this a nonsense? Someone came and sealed it off for me!"
King Qing sneered: "Mr. Ze, please calm down first and seal a newspaper. Is it useful? Our police checked the newspaper yesterday. Guess what, the newspaper simply opened a full-page skylight with only one line of words. This newspaper has a large number of real news on the battlefield in Wuchang, but it cannot be published due to police investigations. Tell me, if someone is sent to investigate like this, it will be even more chaotic?"
"You can't write nonsense!" When Chengze heard this, he felt that he had nowhere to do so, so he had to find a scene by himself. "I have to talk to Shanyi and let his police investigate and deal with the newspaper. If you know, then you should talk to him. If you don't know, don't talk to him."
This is equivalent to not saying the same thing. The situation has not eased, and the others are still watching Regent Chengfeng, waiting for him, the governor to make a decision.
Chengfeng glanced at everyone and his eyes fell on King Qing. He also heard about the royal family fund, and knew that many royal families had participated. Because of this fund, King Qing's status in the royal family has suddenly increased a lot. Some people went to pick up cheap things and buy antiques, calligraphy and paintings and properties sold by Prince Qing's Mansion.
This behavior is quite suspicious of shaking the morale of the army. The direct evidence is that as soon as the newspapers in the capital saw the news, there were already people from the royal family looking for excuses to leave Beijing and go to Shandong to avoid the limelight. With such morale, how can they win the battle?
But he can't argue with King Qing now. The latter is a mature person. How can you start arguing when facing such fried dough sticks?
Chengfeng snorted angrily: "Uncle Qing, now it is the responsibility cabinet. Do you know what the responsibility cabinet is? That is, all of us are responsible for the development of the country. Whether it is good or bad, we have a share. If there is any problem with the country, our responsibilities cannot be shirked away. You said, what should we do now that such a thing happens?"
"What are you afraid of? There are soldiers here."
King Qing only muttered, as if answering the question and also saying to himself. This was Chengfeng's words torment Zhang Xiangtao to death. Now it fell on him, making Chengfeng's eyes dark, and his ribs hurt a little.
"Uncle Qing, then who do you think should be the leader?"
"I don't know, isn't Lao Qi idle? Or he comes? If you can open the gap, the rest will either not be able to leave or guard the capital. I am an old bone, I will definitely not be able to take soldiers. I think Lao Qi is young and strong, just right."
Cheng Tao looked at King Qing and wanted to get angry, but in the end he just swallowed, "I... I still have to do something to fuck, I don't have that time..." He looked at his brother again and suddenly said:
"Where is Yin Wulou in Beijing? Let him go. He has the best relationship with the Prussian emperor. Then he asked him to send a telegram to Prussia and ask Prussia to send an army. We will use the division to help suppress the Ge Ming party and destroy the Ge Ming party. At worst, it's better to add military expenses to the foreigners than to do our own efforts."
Although Chengfeng did not agree with the idea of borrowing foreign soldiers, it was not feasible to wipe out the Southern Army, and it was necessary to use a large army. It was not feasible to hand over the large army to the Han people. The first one among the bannermen was Liangjiao, but if he wanted to defend the capital and could not use it, then only Yin Sheng was left.
He nodded, "I think Chengtao's method is very good. Come and find Yin Sheng."
