Yang Yulong took out another telegram and reported: "Captain, if we call back from Shanghai, Wu Tingfang can't come. We have to ask someone's representative from Yuan to go to Shanghai for talks." When these words came out, Li Yuanhong's face, which had been relatively passable, turned gloomy.

"Forget it, what if we go to Shanghai to talk? Are we going to continue the fight and the person who can make the decision has not said anything? Humph, they can really do it and ignore others as if they don't exist. As everyone knows, without Fang

People’s nods, the North-South peace talks don’t count.” When Li Yuanhong said this, his mood suddenly improved.

He immediately said to Yang Yulong: "Send a report to Anqing. The governors of all provinces are calling for peace talks, but Brother Fuguo has not expressed his position. Now that Yuan's secret envoy Wang Jingwei is in Han, please ask Brother Fuguo to make a decision as soon as possible whether to negotiate for peace, and we look forward to your reply!"

Yang Yulong said: "Where is Wang Jingwei?"

Li Yuanhong sneered twice: "Tell him the truth and I don't care where he goes."

During this period, the Shanghai Governor's Representative Conference was very active. They were fixing Nanjing as the capital, electing the generalissimo and heads of various ministries, and clamoring that the peace talks should be held in Shanghai. This group of people actually lost their collective memory and forgot that there was another person who was negotiating with Beiyang.

Commander Fang started the fight.

Therefore, when Li Yuanhong's two telegrams were forwarded to Fang Jianxiong, Fang Heizhai still somewhat admired this Li Bodhisattva.

"Bodhisattva Li is Bodhisattva Li. He is a very good person. But the more such a person is, the more guarded I have to be against him." Fang Jianxiong and Jiang Fangzhen were leading a group of staff to deduce the battle situation. After receiving the telegram, he threw it on the table.

Jiang Fangzhen was not good at this and had no intention of expressing his opinions. Fang Jianxiong also had no one around him to consult with. The three great advisers were all in Anqing, and there were too many things going on there.

The deduction continued, and after getting the result of the Anhui Army's victory again, Fang Jianxiong smiled and said: "That's it." After saying that, he grabbed the two telegrams from Li Yuanhong and looked at them in a daze. The three characters Wang Jingwei on the telegrams.

, making Fang Jianxiong smile.

This big traitor played a big role in promoting peace talks between the North and the South in history. However, if there is no peace talks now, it will be useless for everyone. Lao Yuan has to send people to negotiate terms. Otherwise, he will use the excuse of overthrowing the house.

, just keep shouting and shouting to kill. Anyway, we need to increase our presence. We need to increase our appearance rate.

"Return to the call, Brother Song Qing's so-called peace talks, no one has come to talk about it so far, so I don't know anything about it! The Qing Dynasty is still here, how can we start talking about it?"

Li Yuanhong was overjoyed when he received the call back. He couldn't help but gloated about the misfortune of the group of grandsons in Shanghai. He called back and said: "The peace talks between the north and the south are the resolutions of the Governor's Representative Conference. Now the representative of the north, Tang Shaoyi, has led a delegation south and will arrive in Han Dynasty soon. Brother

He is the pillar of the revolution. The whole country knows that peace between the north and the south cannot be negotiated without his brother. Yuan Hong sincerely hopes that his brother will come to Han as soon as possible and sit down to discuss the overall peace."

It was already late at night when Li Yuanhong's telegram arrived in Fang Jianxiong's hands. This guy had worked hard enough, and he finally thought of a big killer move! Didn't Wu Tingfang refuse to come to Wuhan to negotiate? It's easy to handle. Fang Jianxiong is here,

If you want peace talks, do you want to bypass Fang Jianxiong, the warlord who is in front of you? Is it realistic? If you are desperate, Fang Jianxiong will defect to Beiyang and suppress the revolution. It is not impossible.

Li Yuanhong was secretly proud of making this decision. Little did he know that he had taken the first step to lure the wolf into the house.

When Fang Jianxiong received the telegram, he couldn't help but burst out laughing three times. In the middle of the night, this laughter was frightening. It frightened a group of young men in the staff department, and they all looked sideways.

"Call back, Brother Song Qing, I will go to Han soon!"

Leng Yu was unlucky again. He led his troops to take a small road and rushed to Jieshou at a rapid march overnight. Unexpectedly, Ni Sichong was really afraid because the troops did not come back from the break, so he led the guards and his son all night Run to Henan.

Leng Yu happened to be the first to take the lead and was blocked. Ni Sichong led only a thousand people. How could he be the opponent of Leng's gang of bandits? After a fierce battle for more than an hour, Ni Sichong was protected by his own soldiers and fought his way out of the siege. His son Ni Youdan Captured.

While Jieshou blocked the attack, the Battle of Taihe also began. Li Qianyu led his troops to sweep Ni Sichong's troops with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai. There were many soldiers, but without Ni Sichong, the combat effectiveness of these troops plummeted, and Li Qianyu took it without any effort. They arrived in Taihe County and wiped out more than 5,000 people left by Ni Sichong in Taihe County.

After the great victory in northern Anhui, the Anhui army sent a message to the whole country, saying that it had carried out a devastating blow to Ni Sichong and Jiang Guiti in northern Anhui. The news spread and the whole country was shocked.

Fang Jianxiong's name once again became the headline of the news. Some people in the press were somewhat skeptical about the news that Ni Sichong and Jiang Guiti's troops suffered a devastating blow. They felt that the devastating blow was a bit exaggerated. Ni Sichong and Jiang Guiti Isn’t the question about living well?

However, the other parties involved, Ni Sichong and Jiang Guiti, pinched their noses and remained silent, and these doubts were easily forgotten. After the opening of the Shanghai-Nanjing Line, Fang Jianxiong once again stood at the forefront of history, and his momentum was compelling. People cannot help but face up to his existence.

The Anhui Army once again sent a telegram to the whole country, saying: "Our troops will march to Zhoukou, Henan, to threaten the Beijing-Hankou Line, so as to cut off the route behind the Beiyang Army in Wuhan. Another division will be sent north along the Jinpu Road to attack Xuzhou."

When this telegram came out, the whole country was even more stunned. The big guys with military power were very depressed. Where did Fang Jianxiong get so many soldiers? Could it be said that his money grew from the ground? Some newspapers calculated that the Anhui Army There are at least six infantry divisions, plus local security forces, nearly 100,000 troops.

Although some people still question this news, there is an indisputable fact in front of us. A guy named Fang Jianxiong has appeared in Anhui. The army he built has been able to compete head-on with Yuan Shikai's Beiyang. Although after objective strength comparison, Most people still believe that Beiyang is stronger.

At the end of the year of 1911, too many major events happened in China. On December 7, the Qing government appointed Yuan Shikai as the Minister of Peace Negotiation, and Yuan sent people to the south to negotiate peace. On the 7th, the Shanghai Federation of Governors' Representatives from all provinces heard that Huang Xing was recommended, and Li Yuanhong was appointed as the Grand Secretary. The actions of the marshal and deputy marshal. After Li Yuanhong telegraphed to the Shanghai Army Commander, he hoped to cancel the matter if it happened, and decided that representatives from each province would go to Nanjing on the 8th. On the same day, the Henan Consultative Bureau called the Qing cabinet and implored: recognize the republic and avoid any consequences. Let the war begin again!

On the 8th, 8,000 Guangdong Northern Expedition troops went north and arrived in Shanghai on the 18th. On the same day, the Shanghai Merchants Bureau signed a 1.5 million tael contract with the British HSBC Bank, using all the port hotels, market houses and other properties owned by the bureau as collateral. Among them, 400,000 The two statements were clearly borrowed by the Governor of the Shanghai Army. Whether this loan was borrowed or not repaid is another matter. Anyway, it was the China Merchants Bureau that borrowed the money. Of course, the China Merchants Bureau did not need to borrow the money! We don’t know the consequences!

On the 9th, the North and the South again agreed to an armistice for the 15th. Huang Xing sent a telegram to Wang Jingwei and supported Yuan Shikai as president. Briefly stated: Xiangcheng (note: Yuan Shikai was from Xiangcheng, Henan Province) has great talents and heroic strategies, and has always regained the great hope of the whole country. He was able to take the overall situation into consideration, act in concert with the civilian army, and quickly overthrow the Manchu and Qing government, so that the general trend of the country could be determined early, and outsiders would recognize it early. Everyone in the country looked up to him, and there was no doubt that he would be the commander-in-chief of the Republic of China. (Okay, This telegram was not fully announced, otherwise Fang Jianxiong would definitely be slapped in the face.)

On the 9th, Tang Shaoyi led the peace delegation south and arrived in Han on the 11th.

On the 10th, Wu Tingfang called Li Yuanhong, saying that it was difficult to go to Han because the representative staying in Shanghai was trying to persuade him to stay.) On the 12th, Wu Tingfang called Tang Shaoyi and came to Shanghai quickly on the grounds that "the consuls stationed in various countries are eager to have peace talks in Shanghai."

On the 11th, Wu Tingfang sent a letter to the American consul in Shanghai, requesting that the American minister consult with Yuan Shikai by telex and order Tang Shaoyi to go to Shanghai with him to discuss peace.

The train slowly entered Hankou Station. Tang Shaoyi, the representative of the Beiyang delegation, stood in front of the window, looking at the city destroyed by the war. The war situation in Hanyang was unfavorable, and the Democratic Party's rejection of the peace talks, which was supposed to happen, actually went in the opposite direction, and the Democratic Party became even more

Keen to negotiate peace. This thing is a bit abnormal, not to mention that things changed decisively after the Great War in Northern Anhui.

As Yuan Shikai's subordinate for many years, Tang Shaoyi has always been highly regarded. Before leading the team south the next day, Yuan Shikai invited him to his home and had a long conversation. Yuan Shikai's core topic was that peace could be negotiated, but the new government must take the initiative.

At the same time, Yuan Shikai, who was very clear-headed, emphasized that Fang Jianxiong from Anhui was the key to the success or failure of this peace negotiation. Those people in Shanghai and Nanjing shouted loudly, which was completely useless in the eyes of the powerful Fang Jianxiong.

As soon as he got off the train and not long after his stay, Tang Shaoyi received his first visitor. Wang Zhengting, deputy foreign minister of the Southern Provisional Government.

I wonder what those people in Shanghai are thinking about? After Wang Zhengting met, he said after a few words of greeting: "Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang cannot come to Wuhan, so please ask Shaochuan to go to Shanghai to negotiate peace."

Regarding this proposal, Tang Shaoyi thought about it secretly with an expressionless face and said: "It is true that Wu Tingfang is the foreign minister of the provisional government, but the ones currently fighting with the Beiyang Army seem to be Li Songqing and Fang Fuguo. If you ask an unpleasant question, Wu Tingfang can do it.

Did they kill their master?" This sentence was a bit unpleasant. Wang Zhengting looked embarrassed and could not answer.

After having nothing to say, Wang Zhengting stood up and left. Tang Shaoyi still politely escorted him out of the door, with a sneer on his lips as he watched Wang Zhengting stagger away.

Early the next morning, Tang Shaoyi led his regiment across the river and saw the unique green uniforms of the Anhui Army for the first time when they entered Hanyang. Looking at the neatly dressed and well-equipped Anhui Revolutionary Army soldiers, everyone looked at the peace talks with confidence and even a little disdain.

delegation.

When passing through Hanyang, a small incident occurred. The Anhui Army requested that they take over the responsibility of escorting the delegation. The person who came forward to say this was Gui Danqi, the commander-in-chief of Hanyang. The accompanying Beiyang Army was very angry about this.

, argued with him. Gui Danchi insisted on this, and finally Tang Shaoyi compromised. This incident allowed Tang Shaoyi to see the strong side of the Anhui Revolutionary Army.

Crossing the river from Hanyang, Tang Shaoyi saw Li Yuanhong and the welcoming team corresponding on the shore from a distance.
