The Hankou of the sun is shrouded in a northwest wind, and the dead branches and leaves on the ground are blown away, floating around the streets. The sun hangs in the air in an extremely lazy manner, and from time to time, the floating white clouds are covered, making it unstable, and it is a solemn and bleak scene.

Hankou is a key point in the Yangtze River and is a place for water and land transportation to gather. It was originally a bustling and lively scene, but it has been a continuous cooling during this period. Although the vendors on the streets and alleys are still attentive, the obvious cold makes most merchants walk with their necks shrank and their steps are fast, and they really want to live in a warm place as soon as possible.

The climate in Hankou is not ideal. It is extremely hot in summer and the air is humid, as if it is about to steam people out of water. Although the temperature in winter is a little higher than in Henan and other places, it is also cold and the biting cold wind blows on people with moisture. It is very uncomfortable than the dry and cold in Henan and other places. But among these passers-by, there is a person who is extremely alert and his steps are not slow. While walking, he quietly observes the surrounding situation, as if he has no feeling of the coldness all over the sky.

As he walked and looked, he soon arrived at the entrance of an inn. The black and shiny lintel said the four big words "Xin Dafangzhan" were written on it. He looked out for the last time and confirmed that there was no problem, a figure flashed and drifted into the inn lobby in an unusually fast manner. This is an inn on the streets of Hankou. The decoration is neither luxurious nor grand, but the location is still ideal. It is a major transportation road between the three towns of Wuhan. Ordinary merchants who come and go to rest by chance.

"I'm sorry, I'm gone." The closer we are to the end of the year, the more prosperous the inn business is. Many merchants are rushing to refill goods in the last month or two before the New Year, especially New Year's goods and daily necessities are the most obvious.

"It's gone?" The person who came was not angry, "There should be still a room? No. You can just squeeze the firewood room..."

The so-called open room is a room where many people live together, mainly providing beds. The firewood room is not a place where firewood is really piled up, but is used as a storage place in the inn. Unless it is extremely scarce, it is generally not used as a guest room.

This is a very plain word. But when the visitor said it while using seemingly careless gestures, it was obvious that the waiter's face changed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you should follow me first, so as not to check out when you are unwilling to the place."

"Okay."

Along the way, there are incisions.

"Master, how much luggage are you? It's wet and can't be put on the scene." Meaning: Are you here alone? If there are too many people, I'm afraid it's not easy to arrange.

"It's okay! I'm not that slutty. Regardless of whether it's wet or not, I'll deal with all the skin." Meaning: I'll come alone

"There are many people in the room, but they are lively and they are not frozen at night. The firewood room is secluded, but it has not been crowded for a long time. There is too much dust accumulation." Meaning: Dalongtou is back in the evening. Do you want to wait? If it really doesn't work, I'll take you to the mountain to find him."

"I still like the excitement. If I really don't have one, I will squeeze in the firewood for one night. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Meaning: I'll wait for him, but it really won't work, and make a decision tomorrow.

It was already very late at night, and the mysterious guest was still not asleep, tossing and turning on the bed - this place is neither a private room nor a private room, nor a firewood room, but a room for the inn manager.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong" sounded a rhythmic knock on the door. The mysterious guest turned over and got out of bed, gently pulled open the door, and a middle-aged man with a handsome face and capable dressed in a very handsome manner was already standing at the door.

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

"We have been waiting for Liu Dalongtou for a long time."

Brother Li is the general manager of the Hubei revolutionary group group academic club. Liu Dalongtou is the backstage boss of Xindafangzhan, and Liu Yutang, the secret contact person of the association party near the three towns. He is known as Liu Dalongtou. The inn is actually the liaison office of the association party of the three towns.

"I've been very busy recently, so I'm late. What do you say in Wuchang City? I heard that a big imperial envoy came."

"That's right, they are all senior officials from the capital. Huang Shen, who joined the meeting, found me and asked me to do it together, and fuck him."

The Communist Party of China is another Hubei revolutionary group, with great influence in the Hubei New Army.

"Okay! Brother has been holding back this tone for a long time. What do you think you should do?" Liu Datou was originally very close to the Hubei Revolutionary Party Rizhihui, but after Rizhihui was suppressed, he had to restrain himself.

"We originally planned to take advantage of the chaos and attack the Shangyuan. But the news has been very tight recently. The spies and head-in-chiefs ran around the streets. It was already the time for the two days to start the matter. The officers of the side camp were very nervous. The guns and bullets were locked in the warehouse and could not be removed, so they were difficult to launch in a hurry."

"This is a difficult problem."

"In addition, the imperial envoy had thousands of imperial guards going south, surrounding a large area near the Governor's Office. It was almost impossible to get into the sky if you wanted to sneak in quietly."

Liu Dalong frowned and couldn't think of any good suggestions, so he said softly: "Tell me, what do you need help from brothers?"

"Brother Huang discussed with me and then discussed it, and finally decided to attack the other side. We want the brothers from the association to make trouble first, create momentum and put pressure on Chen Kuilong. This old boy is usually slow and can't make a sound for a long time. Now that the imperial envoy has arrived in Wuchang, he is eager to keep the black hat on his head, and he will definitely not dare to neglect it. At that time, the new army will definitely pull out and suppress it. Once the bounce is pressed, they will definitely distribute guns and ammunition, and there will be a chance. Brothers plan to do things overnight and kill him off guard." The letter wrote a detailed action strategy in code words.

Only then did Liu Dalongtou understand why Li Liuru came to report the news in person. If he appointed such a major decision, he might not believe it or dare not cooperate. Now that he is present, he feels much more relieved.

"Okay!" Liu Yutang applauded after reading it. He was very appealing among local associations in Daye, Xingguo and other places. This requirement was not difficult for him. "I will contact you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Liu Datou, for being loyal to you. Our two families already have 2 hands in the new army.

Just wait for the opportunity to attack. As soon as you take action, we will follow up."

"Please be patient, brothers, and we will get up soon." Liu Yutang, the main force of the association, had no confidence, but he was familiar with igniting the fire first. If it really doesn't work, he would hide in the old forest. Even if the officers and soldiers are not very good, they will have to be blind.

The imperial envoy was indeed a noticeable target. In recent days, many people have entered the imperial envoy headquarters. Someone exposed Li Weige to Cen Chun the day before yesterday, and someone came to report the new army's abnormal movements today. Zhao Bingjun frowned and looked at the man kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

"The villain Zhang Wending is a soldier under the Eighth Town. Recently, the Qunzhi Academy, the Gongzhenghui and others have acted strangely, and they have been connected in a series of ways, and there are vague plans for major events."

"What's the big deal?"

"It seems to be unfavorable to the imperial envoy."

"Really?" Zhao Bingjun asked, "Why don't you report to the team officer?"

"Little man...Little man." The visitor said hesitantly, "The Little Man Land Team Officer seems to be a revolutionary party. Besides, the villain just heard the news. There was no conclusive evidence, and it was useless to be eager to leave the head."

—

"Hmph..." Zhao Bingjun snorted coldly, "You dare here?"

"The villain is loyal and would rather report a mistake than make a big mistake."

"I understand. You go back."

“Yes, yes!”

Zhao Bingjun threw down a few silver dollars casually: "This is the reward for you. After you go back, continue to stare. If there is any definite news, there will be another reward."

"Yes, yes!" The man picked up the silver dollar and disappeared in the darkness like flying.

"This person's words have no basis at all. Can you believe it by simply catching wind and shadow?" Cen Chunxuan walked out from the side and asked in confusion.

"Sir, although the evidence is not accepted, the Hubei New Army has been in a state of chaos these two days. Many people have come to the forefront, especially the 41st and 32nd infantry marks. Although there is no definite evidence, the content is similar. Huyi thinks the situation is really suspicious."

"What's Chen Kuilong's reaction?"

"He naturally said peace." Zhao Bingjun said disdainfully, "He is useless. I have asked the spies from the Ministry of the Interior to step up the spy. Unfortunately, most of the Imperial Guards are northerners, and their speech is very different, so it is not very convenient to detect."

Cen Chunxuan sighed: "How come Zhang Nan's old land is so unbearable? The Hubei New Army was able to compete with the Beiyang army, but now it has changed like this. It's really a pity."

"Zhang Biao was the first to be the brunt of this man. He used Nanpi's favor, acted recklessly and was lawless. It was rumored that he had swallowed more than one million military money, and he made a clever name to deduct it in the army." Zhao Bingjun took out a piece of paper and handed it to Cen Chunxuan: "Biao's name is extremely rich, and there are dozens of titles, such as military clothing expenses, military shoes expenses, medical expenses, firewood expenses, all the names of the army logistics and supplies, Biao will be involved... When Biao gets married on a birthday, he will be ordered to send gifts to each battalion, and the characters are composed of blessings, fortune, and the characters are eight liang, fortune, four liang, and two liang of the characters are two liang of the characters. The officers must give all the officials and soldiers, and the rest of the officers must give at least one character, and they are deducted in advance from the military pay, and all the battalions complain... "

Cen Chunxuan was furious and pulled the paper in his hand to pieces: "How dare you do this for rats?"

"This is not over yet. Two years ago, Zhang Zhidong ordered the dismissal because the soldiers of the Kaizi camp did not obey the order, and ordered Zhang Biao to recover the silver medals they rewarded last year. However, Zhang Biao and the officers in the camp had already broken up privately, so where could the silver medals be paid? The news came out that not only Kaizi camp, but all other camps that should not be issued but had not been issued were resentful. The whole army clamored and caused trouble. Even Zhang Biao's horses were assassinated. The whole city was assassinated and the whole city was in great trouble. Later, Nanpi took it back and gave another batch to comfort it before it was comforted."

Cen Chunxuan was furious: "The new army was originally a pillar of the country. Zhang Biao's approach was to break the pillar of the country and create a chaos party. It is because this person, Nanpi, has always been valued, and Zhang Nanpi, deceived the emperor!"

Zhao Bingjun smiled bitterly: "Mr. Cen, with Zhang Biao's example in front of him, the Hubei military camps are in full swing. The whole smoky and chaotic. The commander must blackmail each battalion, ranging from fifty taels or one hundred taels per month, and he must also pick up 100 soldiers from each battalion to serve on the job. If each battalion refuses, then let them pay to "hire" others instead. In fact, it is nothing more than the commander to include them in his personal pocket. If each battalion really sends people, the commander must blackmail them by evading the lack of cost of these 20 people.

Last October, a certain battalion issued a defense security camp. As usual, the military chiefs of Shishou County asked the military chief to take charge and distributed the money to the defense site. However, the battalion's management thought that the soldiers were ignorant and could deceive the soldiers, so they colluded with the military chiefs, and used foreign exchanges to compare prices to fluctuate the price. Anyone who stayed in the camp knew that the daily market conditions would be exchanged for dozens of cents per yuan, and did not know that the capital market conditions would be exchanged for dozens of cents per yuan. For more than half a year, each soldier was deducted hundreds of cents of money... Later, the two were exposed due to uneven distribution of the spoils, and they were in trouble, and they finally left it. "

"Damn, damn!"

Zhao Bingjun took out another piece: "In addition to corruption, the letter of reporting on employment and appointment of officials also flew like snowflakes.

The patrol camp in Xiangyang, Hubei, was originally a bandit in the Lianghu Ge Laohui. Anyway, he was entrusted with Qian Zong, but his name was already true, but his old nature did not change. He spread the bandits and sheltered the thieves, protected prostitutes and gambling, and did everything he did. The prostitutes in Shajiaxiang were all given monthly gifts to seek insurance, otherwise they would be instigated by his subordinates to destroy them. His arrogance was so strong that he was the local tyrant. The local people did not know what the imperial court ordered, so they only said that Li was the "king of heaven".

The 31st New Army Biaoqian was born in a boat, and he didn't know a lot about the big words, nor did he have military knowledge. He only got this position by bribing Zhang Biao. He was able to abuse soldiers and plunder money. He bets and prostitution at night and did not train at all. The last time the Imperial Guards selected, there were less than ten people who passed the bid, and he couldn't choose one in a hundred miles, which was a strange thing. His nephew Zeng Wei also worked in the army, and did not take any responsibilities. He fought sparrows with the scoundrels in the camp all day long and ate flower wine. He only wore military uniforms on the first day of the month to get the money..."
