Hearing Yinchang's nonsense, Duan Fang raised his eyelids, glanced at the heavily armed Goshha standing at the door, and snorted: "Don't say these useless words, think about where we attack first? Now not only Jiangning is empty, but also Hubei has not many soldiers available. Now, in this important area of ​​Jiangnan, we only have more than 20,000 people available, so we have to make careful calculations."

"Of course, we must first attack Jixian Pass. Only by taking this pass can we open up the east-west transportation. Jiangsu's ninth town can return to Jiangning. However, if the rebels have taken Jixian Pass and set off cannons after the pass, it will be a fierce battle. Jixian Pass is not easy to attack. Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army attacked Changmao, but he suffered a loss here. Now, the rebels have occupied Anqing, and all the cannons in the city belong to them. There are enough shells and should not be underestimated." Yinchang said pointing to the map on the table.

Duan Fang closed his eyes and said hatefully: "Zhu Jiabao is just a bucket! If you lose the Shangyuan, you didn't blow up the firehouse when you ran away. This is the enemy! The people who recommended him as the governor of Anhui were really blind! When watching the food a few days ago, he said arrogantly that his Anqing New Army is no worse than the "Flying Tiger Army" in Hubei. These beautiful words are still around your ears, and he threw Shangyuan to the rebels. By the way, who recommended him at the beginning?"

"Zhu Jiabao is Yuan Shikai's man, of course, it was recommended by Yuan Shikai. I want me to say that this new army must be left to the bannermen to practice. Not only the new army in the south, but also the five towns in Beiyang, the court must also take it away. Yuan Shikai is not a fuel-efficient lamp!" Yinchang knocked on the table. He disagreed with the arrangement of Duan Fang's arrangement to command the 33rd bid. After all, Wang Shizhen was an old person at Yuan Shikai's small station to train troops. In Yinchang's opinion, this person was not very reliable, and it would be better to hold the military power in the hands of the bannermen. He was about to take advantage of the situation, but he saw a figure outside the door flashing and a Geshha broke in.

"Sir, it's not good! The Jiangsu New Army is starting to make trouble again!" Goshha reported in a panic.

"What?" Duan Fang jumped up when he heard this.

"They yelled that the food today was not delicious, and the breakfast today was half an hour later than last year. As a result, hundreds of people gathered together and smashed the pot. The military supervisor sent by the adults was also beaten up." said Goshha.

"Okay! It's all the trouble, it's all the trouble! I can't rebel?" Duan Fang slapped the table and shouted. "I don't believe it. Just a bunch of young people with no hair can overturn our Qing Dynasty!"

Before the end of the venting, someone came over in panic. However, he was the commander (designer) of the eighth town of Hubei New Army. Zhang Biao, known as the "Flying Tiger General", this time, Qiu Cao, he was responsible for commanding Hubei's 11th town.

"Sir, the camp at the bidding was a little unstable. Just now, a few soldiers from Jiangsu New Army quietly ran to the bidding place and were taken by the bidding place. They were about to escort them as the master ordered, but they were snatched away by someone halfway. When they asked, it was not Jiangsu soldiers but Hubei soldiers who came to snatch people." Zhang Biao said in a low voice.

"I'm also annoyed me for this little thing! What is your Goshha doing? Could it be that the foreign gun in your hand is carved from wood? Let me roll back and suppress it! Whoever dares to act rashly will chop off your head! If you are lazy and let down your favor, you will not be polite to you! Don't think that you are not the governor of Huguang, you can't do anything to you! I'm the imperial envoy now! Holding the king's life flag!" Duan Fang walked forward, kicked Zhang Biao with a kick, and took out the courage that the bannerman should have.

"Sir!" Zhang Biao knelt down with a "bang" and cried. "Sir, I am not in charge of Hubei, and I am not sure about the situation of Hubei's new army. A few years ago, Japan and Russia went to war. After the war, a "scientific tutoring center" suddenly appeared in the Hubei new army, and later it became a "Japanese informant". It claimed to study Japanese military, but in fact it was a rebellion. A few years ago, the Pingli Association rebelled and involved the "Japanese informant". Only then did I learn that these people were in a gang of conflicts with the rebellion. Later, the Provincial Constitution ordered the association to disband and seized all the leaders of the association. The leader of the association Liu Jing'an was also put into prison. The Hubei new army was in prison.

Then he calmed down for a moment, but he didn't expect that some day ago someone came to report that a "Qunzhi Academy" was secretly established in the army. Although they did not know what their relationship with "Rizhi Academy", they did not dare to neglect them. They ordered people to conduct a secret investigation and must collect the list and eliminate all evil. Unexpectedly, they should have secret actions, only soldiers were involved, and officers were not allowed to participate. Although they tried their best to investigate, they were unable to do anything to go to Lihuangpi to discuss, but he was not willing to do anything. In the past few days, Quunzhi Academy has been quite active, especially after the news of Anqing's loss the day before yesterday, they jumped up and down, and they were worried..."

"What?" Duan Fang's face changed suddenly, his legs became soft, and he almost fell to the ground, holding the table and slowly sat down, muttering: "Rebellion, Rebellion... Are there also Rebellion in the new army of Hubei?"

"Where are those people now?" Yinchang was born as a soldier, and he was much more calm than Duan Fang, so he asked one step ahead.

"No... I don't know. Since entering the town, the team under the bid was difficult to lead. Once the bullets were collected, the soldiers were resentful and ran around in the camps. The construction system of each camp has been disrupted. Moreover, most of the people in the group management and academic clubs are soldiers from the 21st mixed associations, and the bid was unable to be restrained." Zhang Biao replied.

The Hubei New Army was the fastest in the Southern New Army. It has been trained into two parts, one is the Eighth Town (Teacher) and the other is the 21st Mixed Association (Brig). This Taihu Qiucao is the third large-scale military exercise held since the Qing Dynasty organized the New Army. Previously, the Hejian and Zhangde Qiucao were held in the northern plains. In order to be familiar with the southern mountain war, Taihu Qiucao was held. The troops participating in the Qiucao were all the Southern New Army, with the Hubei 21st Mixed Association as the

The backbone, some troops organized into the Eighth Town of Hubei, were reorganized into the 11th Town of the Mixed Town for the "Southern Army". Against this was the 9th Town of the Jiangsu New Army, which was mainly composed of the 45th Town of the Infantry Team stationed in Jiangsu, and the 25th Town of the Jiangbei Infantry Team formed the 9th Town of the "Northern Army". In addition, other troops sent by various provinces to Guan Cao, the total number of new troops participating in the Taihu Qiu Cao reached 26,000, with excellent equipment and great momentum, which can be called the No. 1 Cao in the South.

The commander of the "Southern Army" was Zhang Biao, the commander of the Eighth Town, and the commander of the "Ninth Army" was Xu Shaozhen, the commander of the "Ninth Army". The troops under the two were all elite, especially the Southern Army. There were many officers and soldiers of the Eighth Town in their army. The Eighth Town, also known as the "Flying Tiger Army", participated in the Northern Qiucao and conducted confrontation exercises with the Beiyang Army. They were actually the best among the Southern New Army. However, because they were mixed, Zhang Biao could not fully control the troops. The 21st Mixed Association of the Southern Army was Li Yuanhong's army, but he did not come with the army, but stayed in Wuchang and led the New Army troops left behind in Hubei to suppress the ground.

"Kill! Kill! Those who dare to plot against chaos will be killed without mercy! Zhang Biao, I will give you the King's Banner. You will personally bring people to various battalions to suppress the military orders. No matter the size of the official position, you will be able to deal with it at will!" Yinchang glanced at Duan Fang, but saw that his face was pale and his legs were trembling. He couldn't help but sigh. Most of the bannermen nowadays are like this. The bigger the official, the smaller the courage. If Duan Fang could be as calm as Yinchang, the state affairs would not be so corrupt.

"Sir, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Zhang Biao did not dare to look up at Yinchang, but still lowered his head. "The 21st Mixed Association is not a team under the standard, only Li Huangpi can suppress it."

"Fuck! What's your team? My team? They are all soldiers of the court! Zhang Biao dare not go and suppress me, I'll go!" Yinchang pushed Zhang Biao away, put on his military uniform, and his horse boots sounded. He walked out of the main hall, stood in front of the hall and called out a team of Goshha, raised the machine gun, held the imperial envoy's flag and the Wang Ming flag, and walked out of the yard with murderous intent.

"Sir, what should I do?" Zhang Biao looked at Duan Fang, but was surprised to find that this dignified first-rank official of the court, the Governor of Liangjiang, and the imperial envoy, Minister Yue Qiucao, was lying on the chair of the Grand Master, with his eyes closed, and his hands fiddling with the court beads on his chest. His mouth was opening and closing, and he listened with his ears, and he was chanting scriptures.

"Oh. The bannerman and nobles are not allowed." Zhang Biao sighed in his heart, and called a thousand to the old monk like a meditation, then turned around and left.

Just as Yinchang was vigorously carrying Goshha with machine guns and overwhelming the new army officers and soldiers, on the other side of the Luma River, on a hill less than two miles from Huangnigang Town, beside a bush, several people wearing yellow cloaks were crawling in the dead grass, holding the binoculars in their hands, carefully observing every detail in Huangnigang Town.

Zhao Bei took out the chewed hay from his mouth, held the telescope and said to Wu Zhenhan beside him: "It seems that the Qing army's system has been disrupted, the military tent is messy, and soldiers are everywhere inside and outside the town, running around like headless flies. The officers seem to be unable to restrain their subordinates."

"Strange? Why are you in a mess? Even if the new army in Jiangsu is a fancy, isn't the new army in Hubei known as the "Flying Tiger Army"? Military discipline has always been strict." Wu Zhenhan was a little puzzled.

"No wonder. There are revolutionary organizations and soldiers who tend to revolution in the new army in Hubei. However, at present, there is no strong force in the Restoration Association. They must have been inspired when they heard about the Anqing Uprising. Perhaps they caused all this." Zhao Bei said with certainty. According to historical records, after the Anqing Horse and Cannon Camp Uprising, the revolutionaries in Hubei were ready to respond. However, because the Anqing Uprising failed quickly, they still failed to launch. However, due to Zhao Bei's intervention, the Anqing Uprising was successful, and the revolutionaries in Hubei New Army were likely to be encouraged and began to implement their plans.

In the history that Zhao Bei was familiar with, because the rebel army could not capture Anqing City for a long time, the Qing army had given the opportunity to counterattack calmly. On the third day of the uprising, the Qiucao troops, who were eager to marching to suppress the uprising, had already arrived in the western suburbs of Anqing. If the rebel army had not retreated at that time, they would have been attacked by the Qing army.

But now it is different. Since Anqing City has fallen into the hands of the rebels, the telegram line has been cut off, and the command center of the Qing army in Anhui has been completely disrupted. Not only has the rebels been in great force, but even the Qing army troops participating in Qiu Cao have not received the order to reinforce Anqing. This is the "butterfly effect" brought by the time travelers.

History is rewritten bit by bit. Perhaps the wings of the butterfly are insignificant, but they are enough to stir up a storm. This storm will sweep away decay with the power to destroy everything, bringing a new atmosphere to this ancient nation and making this era beyond recognition.
