The journey starts from the Titanic

The air force’s queens greatly reduced the casualties of the infantry. After successively capturing the hilltop positions outside the city, the artillery of the Northern Expeditionary Army began to aim at Wuchang City. Excuse me.

The sound of artillery outside the city of Wuchang fell silent again after a few days, which made the Beiyang army and the people in the city feel very depressed. Although a shell of Wuchang city did not fall, everyone understood that this was only temporary.

In Wuchang City, a large number of pieces of paper fell from the sky almost every day. It was a propaganda leaflet of the Northern Expedition, which listed various crimes of Wu Peifu and other Beiyang warlords.

Wu Peifu has no problem with personal morality, he does not love money, does not take concubines, and does not want to buy property. However, it is undeniable that his personal "nobleness" does not at all explain the corruption and incompetence of the Beiyang government.

To some extent, Wu Peifu is an accomplice!

Having said that, even if he has no money in his personal account, does he still have less money?

"Dare Zhuzi?"

Wu Peifu gritted his teeth with anger and tore up the flyers that had fallen to the Marshal's Mansion. The military spirit that was finally picked up was affected by this small flyer.(Don’t he know that it’s easy for the Northern Expedition to blow up the Marshal’s Mansion?) The morale of the Northern Army in Wuchang City was reduced to its lowest point. Many soldiers took off their uniforms and sneaked away, or they went outside the city. The Northern Expedition surrendered.These soldiers are not stupid. Joining the army is just a part-time job, and it is not worth working for Wu Peifu.

Moreover, many people are beginning to understand that Wu Peifu and other Beiyang generals are things that harm the country and the people. They have a lot of money, are they all the people's care?

Well, this is the power of propaganda, and the initial effect of the heart attack has been achieved. Even many middle and lower-level officers of the Beiyang Army have begun to care about it.Especially a group of young people with ideals, their blood is not yet cold, and they want to do a career.

In the past few years, what the Beiyang government has done is indeed unpopular. Cao Kun bribed elections and knew the country's laws and had nothing to say.Now when it falls apart, oppressive contradictions will also burst out.

It's not that Wu Peifu doesn't know the enemy's sinister intentions, but now that there is no good way.Once the repression is too severe, it is easy to provoke mutiny, and then the Beiyang Army in Wuhan will be ruined without the enemy's attack.

Time is running out, the enemy is about to attack soon, and Wu Peifu's desire to withdraw north is even more intense.Accelerate the collection of various materials, hoard ships, and secretly transport the materials to the north.

Of course, I have not forgotten that the gentry who blackmailed Wuhan severely, how can we not leave the wealthy city to the enemy thinking of Song Weichen's "kindness", right?

"What? Ten million?"

Song Weichen walked into the commander's mansion again with a little more confidence on his face. He said that the situation was very favorable. Wu Peifu finally "knowed the current affairs", but he did not expect the other party to have such a big appetite.

It's not that 10 million silver dollars can't be taken out, Song Weichen's family property exceeds ten million, but it is not easy to take out this sum at once, let alone him, even the Wuhan Chamber of Commerce.

"What? You have to know that the soldiers under his command are a little impatient, and this commander can't restrain them too much." Wu Peifu sneered.Song Weichen has a close relationship with the South, how could he not know?

"Okay! I will definitely treat the general manager to the Chamber of Commerce, I believe it will satisfy the general manager."

Song Weichen gritted his teeth and had to accept it.

Go home, calm down, and sneer.Want ten million more?Dream it!

Song Weichen knew exactly what kind of bastards the Beiyang Army was. In the year of Xinhai, he suffered heavy losses.

After a while, a young man appeared in Song Weichen's study.

"The situation is great, why is Mr. Song frowning?" Dai Chunfeng laughed.

Today, he deliberately wore a white suit, and the cold breath on his body faded a bit, and he looked more sunny, just like those talents who returned from overseas in Hankou.

In order to cope with the capture of Wuhan, Absinthe sent this proud cadre to sneak into Wuchang. The war progressed smoothly, and Dai Chunfeng was indispensable.After listening to Song Weichen's explanation of Wu Peifu's conditions, Dai Chunfeng smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Song Lao, I'm afraid Wu Peifu will die!"

"Oh?" Song Weichen's heart was cold, thinking that this harmonious young man would be cruel.

...

At dawn, it is quiet, the moon is fading, the east is bright, and Wuchang city is silent in rare peace.

The Henan 3rd Division, which was stationed in the south of the city, quietly opened the city gate. The soldiers of the Northern Expedition that had been prepared filed in with steel guns, and according to the predetermined plan, they pounced on the Wuchang City headquarters, ordnance warehouse and other targets in an orderly and fast manner.

The faint sunlight shone on the young face, and the clothes were stained with crystal dew. The arrival of this group of uninvited guests awakened the Wuchang citizens who were sleeping in their dreams.

They looked out curiously, countless colorful soldiers descended into the city like heavenly soldiers, and the Beiyang army surrendered one after another, gave up the position, bowed their heads, like a dead father, without the arrogance that is usually impossible.

Standing on the tower, Li Junqing watched the five-color flag fall in Wuchang city, replaced by the unfamiliar five-star red flag, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He was the commander of the Henan 3rd Division. Opening the security gate was a conspiracy planned by him and Dai Chunfeng. When everything happened in front of his eyes, he felt a kind of unspeakable sadness.

"It's God's will, Master Li is just more decisive than others, so he can find a way for his brothers to survive."

Dai Chunfeng smiled, and handed Li Junqing a check from the American China Bank with 500,000 written on it.

Before that, Li Junqing had already received the same check, and now he has just received half of the check.

With one million in hand, Li Junqing's complexion was pretty good, and he flushed slightly, and finally got a chance in the future.Together with the savings from the army, it is enough to live a good life.

This is a deal, of course.

Wu Peifu will lose. The ship is going to sink. The people below will naturally not follow him to death. Besides, Wu Peifu has secretly withdrawn from Wuchang last night, pressing a batch of precious materials northward, leaving behind the ignorant Li Junqing and others in the city. Stubbornly.

If Dai Chunfeng hadn't mentioned it, Li Junqing wouldn't know.

The catastrophe was about to fly, so he didn't feel guilty at all. After this battle, he didn't plan to fight again.Well, what's wrong with being an apartment with An Xin?

The two of them fell into a brief silence as they thought about their things.

"Wuhan will soon usher in large-scale industrial construction, which may be even more prosperous than Guangzhou. To open a factory, Mr. Li may be reluctant to invest in the factory, but buying land and buying a house is also a good choice."

Dai Chunfeng smiled faintly, and went away.

In other words, the land price in Wuhan is really low after just experiencing a not-so-fierce war!

...

After Wuchang, Wuhan is gone.

Wu Peifu withdrew from the city to the north bank of the Yangtze River in time. He was in shock and secretly called a fluke. Seeing that the Northern Expeditionary Army controlled Wuhan's main strategic stronghold, he had to pinch his nose to recognize it, and ordered the Northern Army to take the initiative to evacuate Hanyang and Hankou, and take the remnant defeated generals to the north to Luoyang.

Of course, he was unsuccessful in blackmailing Song Weichen, but he was compensated otherwise.

After the Northern Expedition forces captured Wuhan, they stopped Wu Peifu from Hubei, and the Second Front began to rest.

Song Ziwen got his wish and successfully took over Wuhan with the working group.

He has been appointed as the chief executive of Wuhan. As soon as the fighting ceased, he couldn't wait to launch large-scale political reforms, transplanting Guangzhou’s practices to Wuhan. The old and lazy bureaucrats were purged and replaced by young and energetic officials...

Chapter 61-Untitled

The news of the liberation of Wuhan by the Northern Expedition Army spread back to Guangzhou, and the society of Guangdong and Guangxi was boiling, and people were all cheering for the victory ahead.

The Zhi Gong Party government has effectively guided this craze into social production. In a word, the rear factory produces all kinds of materials in an orderly and rapid manner to meet the needs of frontline combat, which is better than venting revolutionary enthusiasm on the streets all day.

"Undoubtedly, the victory has greatly enhanced the cohesion of the government and the public party government has gained more social recognition. This is a good thing. But we must be careful to prevent radicals from sabotaging our plans."

Situ Nan warned at the secret meeting of Situ Mansion.The Northern Expedition and the Revolution in history have been victorious, and finally split and ruined the great situation. He has to be vigilant.

The reason is that there are too many excessive behaviors in the rear.

Situ Nan did not want to provoke foreigners, especially the British, too early.The British have important interests in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. If you provoke them in advance, many tragedies will definitely happen.
