Chapter 191 Long Jiguang’s plan

It was also the same night, the General Headquarters of the Twenty-Three Towns of Wuzhou City, which was far away on the border between Guangdong and Guangxi.

The headquarters is located on a hill in Wuzhou City, a typical Guangxi hilly residence. The courtyard is built on the mountain, and there is a lonely tower at the highest point. In the pavilion of the tower, Long Jiguang was wearing casual clothes and was sitting on a rattan chair. He has not shaved these days, and his face is like a messy beard at this moment, and he looks like a messy beard, and he looks uninspired at all. There is a small table in front of him, with a stack of messy telegrams on it, in addition to a purple clay teapot, and there is also a stack of messy telegram texts.

He had known what happened in Guangdong for a long time, but he was not shocked at all, as he said yesterday to his subordinates: "It's a matter of time sooner or later!" But things have happened, and the undercurrents across the country are becoming more and more surging, and it is obviously about to break through the ground. How should he make a decision?

The telegrams on the small table in front of me came from many places, including those in the capital, those in the Guangxi Governor's Office, those in Xin'an, Guangdong, and even those in the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government. The contents of this telegram were nothing more than just a few, either in war, defense, assistance, or investment. In fact, there were only these choices in front of Long Jiguang. However, he was still waiting, waiting for another person's telegram.

At this time, footsteps came from the stairs of the tower.

Long Jiguang remained calm and his face was calm.

After a while, an officer walked up to the pavilion and came behind Long Jiguang. His name was Yan Qihan, the commander of the 23rd Town Guard Battalion, and also the chief officer of Long Jiguang. He was considered a confidant. He did not salute, but just bowed slightly to Long Jiguang and said, "The commander, there is another telegram!"

Long Jiguang sat upright slightly, without looking back, and asked, "Where did it send it?"

Yan Qihan sighed and said, "It's still from the capital."

Long Jiguang seemed a little impatient and said angrily: "Didn't you say that you don't have to hand over any telegrams from the capital? I feel upset when reading them."

Yan Qihan calmed down and continued, "But, this time it was not sent by the imperial court, but by the Central Military Training Department and the Army Department! Lord General, do you see if it is..."

Long Jiguang felt a little bit more energetic. He turned around and looked at Yan Qihan and asked, "The Military Training Department and the Army Department? Are they from Beiyang?"

He received the telegram, two copies in total, one for each of which was held by the Training Department and the Army Department. He quickly opened it and read it carefully, and then threw both telegrams on the small table in front of him.

"Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang are really interesting. One asked me to send troops to conquer the Guangzhou Rebellion Party, and the other asked me to establish contact with the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government. Humph, I really drove me as a fool." He said with a sneer.

Yan Qihan did not express any opinions. After he was silent for a while, he said carefully: "Sir, our 23 towns have been unable to move for several days. Do you really have to continue to waste like this? Governor Zhang was urging him tightly, and his messengers were impatient. It was a war or a harmony, so you can at least give me a word."

"Zi Ming, you must be calm when doing big things, especially at this critical moment! If Zhang Mingqi hadn't been kind to me in the past, I would have driven away his people long ago!" Long Jiguang said with a gloomy smile.

"But sir, no matter what, you have to give us a direction. Even if you are fighting first, then fighting, or fighting later, brothers will be ready." Yan Qi said earnestly in Chinese.

Long Jiguang stopped talking, but in fact he wanted to give himself a direction now. Although it was only a matter of time before the outbreak of the revolution, it was too sudden for Guangzhou to come. He was planning to have a down-to-earth New Year these days. But now that things have come, he must carefully analyze the current situation. The Guangzhou Uprising is just a first-hand result, and it is still a question whether it can continue. At present, all provinces in China are watching the changes, and there is no reason for him to be so impulsive.

Yan Qihan waited for a while, and saw that Long Jiguang didn't speak, so he had to say again: "Sir, there are revolutionary parties in our 23 towns. The brothers' emotions are very unstable during this period. If you wait any longer, you will probably change sooner or later."

Long Jiguang just picked up the purple clay teapot and took a sip of the tea that had already cooled down. After hearing Yan Qihan's words, his face suddenly changed drastically and he threw the teapot in his hand to the ground.

"Who the fuck dares to disturb my military morale, I will destroy him. Ziming, please take it carefully. If someone among the soldiers wants to cause trouble, you can catch it one by one." He said sternly.

"Yes." Yan Qihan responded quickly.

At this moment, footsteps came again on the stairs, which was obviously more urgent than when Yan Qihan went upstairs.

Soon, a servant hurried to the entrance of the pavilion. After seeing Yan Qihan, he saluted Yan Qihan first.

Yan Qihan walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Sir, the telegram from the commander-in-chief is here." The attendant said quickly.

Yan Qihan's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the telegram from his servant, and then quickly came to Long Jiguang.

Long Jiguang had heard the conversation between the two people, so he didn't say much and took the telegram from Yan Qihan. He opened the telegram clip and took a look at the signature of the telegram, which said "Shanghai Zheng Mansion, Cen". He thought to himself: That's right, Cen Chunxuan was dismissed from his post by Duan Fang, the governor of Liangjiang, two years ago, and Cen Chunxuan was forged with a photo with Liang Qichao. He has been living in Shanghai forged in recent years. Zheng Mansion should be Zheng Xiaoxu's other career.

He quickly passed the telegram, and the telegram was not long, only two sentences: I hope Zichen can contact Guangzhou, watch the changes, and the overall situation changes, and find another source.

After reading the telegram, he closed the clip with a "pop" and gradually frowned.

The telegram he had been waiting for all night was just like that. But because of this, so many people think that they should contact Guangzhou first and observe the overall changes. It seems that the only way to do this is to be the case for the present.

Cen Chunxuan was Long Jiguang's former boss, and Long Jiguang respected Cen Chunxuan very much. As the saying goes, "Northern Yuan and Nan Cen", is not unreasonable. With Cen Chunxuan's prestige and ability, his suggestions are sure to be sure.

However, Long Jiguang originally thought Cen Chunxuan would ask him to send troops to Guangzhou, but now it seems that since he was slandered by Duan Fang two years ago, Cen Chunxuan's attitude towards the political situation of the Qing Dynasty has changed greatly. No matter what, he received Cen Chunxuan's instructions and had a conclusion in his mind.

"Sir, how did Mr. Cen instruct?" Yan Qihan asked impatiently.

"Zi Ming, you set out to Guangzhou tonight to meet Hu Hanmin..." Long Jiguang slowly gave instructions, but he was only half of it and suddenly didn't say it again.

Yan Qihan was patiently waiting for Long Jiguang's post. Long Jiguang hadn't said what he was going to do to Hu Hanmin.

At this time, Long Jiguang let out a deep breath, changed his words and said, "Forget it, you should not go. Stay here to supervise the internal situation of our 23 towns. In addition, you can call Zhishangsi, Qinzhou and Maoming troops now and let all three battalions be transferred to Yunfu. Tomorrow our headquarters will also move directly to Yunfu."

Yan Qihan was shocked. This was a major transfer! Although the 23 towns were named as the Guangdong Army, all units were basically stationed on the border between Guangdong and Guangxi and northeastern Guangxi, and most of the military pay and supplies were sent from Guangxi. Now Long Jiguang said that the transfer would be transferred. How should the governor Zhang Mingqi explain?

"Sir, is this too hasty?" Yan Qihan asked hurriedly. He could see that Long Jiguang was going to transfer the sphere of influence of the twenty-three towns from Guangxi to Guangdong. Although there are guns in this era that people can occupy territory, Guangdong is at a time when the revolution is earth-shaking. It is too crazy to run to get into it at this time!

"Don't stop. Just do what I mean." Long Jiguang still smiled, and in addition to the sarcastic spirit he often had, he also had a bit of calmness and confidence in his smile.

He was not willful. Although Guangxi is his hometown, the Twenty-Three Towns are becoming increasingly untenable here in recent years. Now it is only because the Qing Dynasty, a central government that is in name only, is restricted, that he can barely survive in Guangxi. Once the revolutionary momentum spreads across the country, Lu Rongting will definitely strengthen the interests of the Guangxi group in Guangxi, and the Twenty-Three Towns will be difficult at that time.

Now that the revolutionary government in Guangdong has just been established, I am eager to win the compromise of relations between all parties. The twenty-three towns are now going to Guangdong to grab territory, the revolutionary government can only turn a blind eye. If the revolutionary government does not win over the twenty-three towns but instead takes military action, it will only make the newborn regime turbulent, and the people of the Tongmenghui least want to see this.

Yan Qihan has been with Long Jiguang for many years, but he has not figured out Long Jiguang's temperament over the years. This master always seems to do whatever he thinks. However, he will not say more. Since Long Jiguang's temperament is unpredictable, if he suddenly becomes angry after waiting, he will be bored.

"Subordinate to obey the order." He said, turning around and going downstairs.

"Wait, go and call Cai Xingju." Long Jiguang suddenly added.
