Chapter 689 Huang Xing is in sight
Chapter 689 Huang Xing is looking
"Enough, stop me!" Lu Gongwang yelled. The whole audience was silent immediately. If a needle fell off at this time, you could hear it clearly.
Several generals looked at me, and I looked at him. Now it was time to get angry, but Commander Lu was still indifferent.
Lu Gongwang looked very angry, glared at Zhu Rui fiercely, then turned to the others present, and said coldly: "Are you all pig brains? Okay, even if I order an attack now, we can defend Hangzhou for one night, what after that? I ask you, what should we do afterwards?"
Hu Xuefei asked strangely: "Commander, what do you mean?"
Lu Gongwang said angrily: "Watch it with your brain, who is behind Lu Yongxiang? It is the Beiyang government. He can't take Hangzhou tonight, and he can continue to take it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. We can defend today, can we still defend tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Once we exchange fire with Lu Yongxiang, the Beiyang army will have an excuse to continuously enter Zhejiang. Will this Zhejiang still be in our hands at that time?"
Everyone gradually understood what Lu Gongwang meant and became worried, but if they were so timid, Zhejiang would sooner or later fall into Lu Yongxiang's hands.
Hu Xuefei said seriously: "We can still fight for our breath, but we won't even breathe if we don't fight. If Beiyang really wants to deal with our Zhejiang, even if we give up our position as the governor, it will be useless."
Lu Gongwang said: "Beiyang is fighting against the South and will never easily make a big fight. For us, we should try our best to avoid big things. Lu Yongxiang wants the Zhejiang Governor, so let us give it to him. I don't believe that Lu Yongxiang will not win over our local forces after he takes office as the Governor. If he, a foreign province, wants to firmly take over the position of the Governor, how can we lose our support?"
Zhu Rui, who was standing beside him, was frightened and immediately jumped out to protest, "Lu Daizhi, what are you talking about! When is it the turn of outsiders to point fingers in the matter of Zhejiang people? Now Lu Yongxiang sends troops to threaten him casually, and you are afraid of not facing it. You have to give up the governor. Are you not afraid of saying it out loud and ridiculed?"
The Zhejiang Army officers on the side also started to discuss it. Although Lu Gongwang was protecting the status and strength of the Zhejiang Army, his approach was too harmful to his self-esteem. He allowed the Beiyang Army to fight in the city. The Zhejiang Army brothers were in trouble on the front line, and the headquarters actually ignored it just to please the Beiyang Army?
"Commander, if Lu Yongxiang wants to sit firmly in Zhejiang, he has to please us. Why has we pleased him now?" The Chief of Staff said angrily.
"Yes, yes." The deputy commander also said hurriedly.
"You are so capable, then go and fight. I want to see what the consequences you can get when you act irritably now!" Lu Gongwang roared in anger.
"Lu Daizhi, then do you think, do you think the future of our Zhejiang army is to succumb to the pressure of the Beiyang army?" Zhu Rui said indignantly.
"The surname of Zhu, it's not your turn to talk here. If it weren't for your surrender to the Beiyang government and bringing the Beiyang army into the province, why would you suffer today's difficulties? Humph, you are good. Now the Beiyang government dislikes you, and you hurriedly surrender to the southern government. I want to ask you carefully, where do you want to lead our Zhejiang?" Lu Gongwang did not show any weakness and was angry. He endured Zhu Rui for a long time, and there was no need to endure it yet.
"You, you...Lu Gongwang, I am after all trying to find a way out for Zhejiang Province and protect our Zhejiang Province. Now you are going to oppose Beiyang and refuse to surrender to the south. Do you still expect Zhejiang to be the best?" Zhu Rui's face turned purple with anger.
"What kind of good guy do you think Wu Shaoting is? He and Yuan Shikai are just a bird of a feather, but there is a hypocritical expression. He deliberately excluded Mr. Sun and did not allow Mr. Sun to preside over the government. What is his intention? This is to worry about Mr. Sun's real democratic revolution. Just you, you are still thinking about Zhejiang Province. Hum, it's ridiculous! I think you are thinking about yourself." Lu Gongwang said coldly.
"Okay, it's very good. I want to see how you deal with it tonight. All the brothers of the Zhejiang Army can surrender." Zhu Rui shook his sleeves, turned his back and walked to the door, and showed an attitude of not arguing with Lu Gongwang. However, he was quickly thinking in his heart that Lu Gongwang could not count on him. Once the Beiyang Army fought, how should he handle himself? Could it be that he was tied up by Lu Gongwang and sent to the Beiyang military camp? Why is there no movement in the south?
The hall was silent for a while, and the officers didn't know how to express their opinions. It was obvious that Lu Gongwang did not want to compromise with the south and seek support from the south. This was also true. Once the south supports Zhejiang Province to deal with the Beiyang Army, Zhejiang Province, which had been peaceful for several years, would inevitably fall into dire straits again. However, if there was no support from the south and refused to accept the Beiyang government, Zhejiang might not have a good result in being sandwiched between the north and the south.
Hu Xuefei coughed, walked to Lu Gongwang, asked for instructions with a embarrassed expression: "Commander, what do you think we should do now? The brothers in the city are fighting with the Beiyang Army, and the Beiyang Army has not given us any face."
The other people's eyes also fell on Lu Gongwang, saying that the others were useless, and the key was how to solve the problems that are happening right now.
Lu Gongwang was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare the phone number of Jinbaoshan Command for me. I want to contact Lu Yongxiang. I have to reach an agreement on this matter no matter what!"
Hu Xuefei sighed, turned around and ordered his adjutant: "Go to the communication room to arrange it."
Zhu Rui, who was standing at the door, heard that Lu Gongwang had decided, and snorted coldly, saying, "If someone surnamed Lu wants to win over you, I have contacted you earlier, why have to wait for you to contact him? Lu Gongwang, you can have your daydream and see how Beiyang dealt with you,"
After he finished speaking, he stepped out of the threshold and walked towards the main entrance with big strides.
After leaving the Jiahu Guard Command, Zhu Rui took his men to the riverside and rushed to the riverside. The general's mansion could not go back, and the guard camp had been transferred to the riverside before standing by. He didn't know what the south was going to make arrangements. In short, the city was nervous tonight, so he could only save his life first and then contact the south.
Maybe he could take a boat to Fujian and wait for the Southern Army to fight back to Zhejiang Province before coming back to power! On the horse, Zhu Rui thought in his heart.
At the same time, in the Zhangjia Garden in Puyan Town, Nan'an, Qiantang County, the servants were in a panic, and the hands of several guards guarding rifles were also oozing sweat. Two locks were locked on the iron gate of the courtyard, and the lights of the garden building were all turned off, for fear of letting people know that there were people here. Whenever there was a war, the wealthy families were always worried. Even if there was a guarding musket team, it was just a decoration, and it would be better to have a hard relationship.
Now there are neither enough gunmen nor strong enough. From yesterday to the early morning of the morning, a large number of Beiyang soldiers drove into here and occupied all the docks, cannons and heavy machine gun strongholds in Hangzhou urban area scattered in the streets and alleys, as if the war is coming. As long as people in the Zhangjia Garden hear the footsteps of soldiers or the sound of horse hooves of war horses, they will be frightened for most of the day.
The battle did not start during the day, and the Beiyang Army was still in order. However, the war was on fire and it was getting worse and worse, so soldiers were not allowed to take advantage of the situation.
Huang Xing stood in the living room on the third floor of the Zhangjia Garden Western Building, looking at the north bank of Qiantang County through the large floor-to-ceiling window. Guns and cannons on the north bank of Hangzhou City were everywhere, and several places where fire broke out red in the middle of the night. His face was firm, and his hands gradually clenched into fists, which had a sense of wanting to struggle but being powerless.
Since last year, Guangzhou has been contacting him, Song Jiaoren, Yu Youren and others all hope that they will go south.
He didn't want to remain silent like this, but the Second Revolution he left the Guangdong Army in Jiangsu Province and was still hard to let go. What's more, even if he could let go, would Wu Shaoting do it?
He had received news before that Wu Shaoting was looking at this matter in two. Wu Shaoting could not accept this incident, and he could still interact with each other as a friend and a comrade. This was not a forgiveness at all, but a warning.
Even if he goes south to Guangzhou now, he may not be as passionate as Song Jiaoren. Why bother to throw this person away?
However, some time ago, Song Jiaoren sent several telegrams and letters to mention matters about Zhejiang. Later, Yu Youren also came to Hangzhou in person and explained the matter more clearly. The Southern Government wanted to recommend him as the governor of Zhejiang.
Huang Xing didn't know if this was his own opportunity, but after all, he could get himself out of Zhangjia Garden and reconnect with this society. Before that, he had imagined that perhaps Zhu Rui could reach some kind of agreement with the Southern Government, and then rely on the support of Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants to subtly complete the handover of the army.
It was just the sound of gunfire on the north bank and the sound of mobilizing troops around him that made him deeply realize that things were not as simple as he thought.
"Lu Yongxiang actually mutiny at this time!" After a long silence, Huang Xing murmured deeply, his tone seemed extremely slow. "Whether or not, if you point out the contradictions, each force will understand its position."
He knew that tonight was a sleepless night, but no matter whether the Beiyang Army would harass the Zhang family garden, it would not affect his situation. Even Yuan Shikai dared to do anything to him. Will Lu Yongxiang dare? Thinking of this, he turned around and prepared to return to the bedroom to rest for a while. The battle at night will eventually end, and there will be more busier things during the day.
At this moment, a convoy suddenly appeared in the south of Xiaoshan County. There were about eight cars in front and back. On the dark street, it looked like a long dragon. The convoy drove straight to Zhangjia Garden and soon came to catch the main gate of the garden and slowly stopped. Huang Xing hesitated for a step, and immediately saw this scene, he couldn't help but become curious, and returned to the floor-to-ceiling window again to stare at the garden gate.
