    Fortunately, those few planes were not selfish. After bombing the Military Uniform Bureau, they did not continue to drop bombs. Instead, they fluttered around Changsha City and dropped countless leaflets urging surrender, and then walked away.

    Soon the director of the Military Uniform Bureau appeared in front of Tan Yankai with a sad face. As he expected, almost all the guns and ammunition purchased at a huge cost in the warehouse were destroyed by the bombing, and less than one tenth was intact.  After hearing the news, Tan Yankai felt a little relieved while sighing: Finally, he could justifiably stop going to war with the Northern Army!  But after the Northern Army goes south, how should I deal with it?

    With such doubts, Tan Yankai sent away the uniformed commander who was now the commander-in-chief, and was about to return to the study to find a few staff to discuss how to deal with the current situation. The concierge suddenly came to report: "Master Qi, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Zuo Gongxian, Master Zuo."  Mr. Zeng Guangxi, Director of the Department of Finance, came to visit and claimed that he had something important to discuss. Will you see me, sir?"

    Tan Yankai was a little puzzled: these two people were both descendants of Huxiang aristocratic families and were quite famous in the province, so they were able to reach such a high position.  However, their political attitude is very elusive. They neither support the revolution nor rely on Yuan. Even they only have official dealings with themselves, the governor, without much involvement, and they are quite independent.  Today they suddenly came to visit together and claimed to discuss important matters. What did they mean?

    Despite his doubts, Tan Yankai welcomed the two of them into the study politely.  After the greetings, he asked: "Brother Zhizhong and brother Houchen, I heard that you two have something important to discuss, but I don't know why?"

    Zuo Gongxian did not answer the question but asked: "Brother Zu An has been disarmament, economical, diligent and caring for the people since he took over Hunan, so that Hunan can recover after the chaos. Everyone in the province is grateful. If given time, Brother Zu An may not be able to establish something  It¡¯s just that the weather is right. This spring and summer, there were heavy rains first, followed by hail and severe cold, which caused people to be displaced and countless people died of starvation on the roadside of ditches. It was really an extreme hardship. These are natural disasters, but Brother Zu An can still do it.  Excuses to avoid crime, but what about the current man-made disaster?

    "Hunan has always been known to be good at fighting since Zeng Wenzhenggong practiced bravery to quell the rebellion. He suppressed the bandits, wiped out the Nian army, and suppressed the Hui rebellion. The Hunan army has made great achievements. However, at this moment, the only one in Hunan now is the Hunan army led by Zhao Yiwu (Zhao Hengti).  The First Division of the Army and three newly trained infantry regiments and an artillery battalion. There are not enough new recruits to rely on, and the total number of veterans is less than 10,000. They still have to garrison all prefectures and counties in the province. How to deal with the tiger and wolf divisions in the north? I'm afraid  Once the war breaks out, all living beings will be devastated in the land of three Hunan and four rivers, and the misery will be a hundred times greater than the previous natural disasters. How will Brother Zu An face the 20 million elders in the province by then?"

    Tan Yankai smiled bitterly and said: "How could Tan start a fight lightly? Things have turned into what they are now. It is really out of necessity! Tan saw such a situation and tried his best to maintain it. It was like being in a thorn bush. He couldn't do it at all.  I can't use my hands and feet; I want to resign voluntarily, but I am afraid that the position of governor will be occupied by traitors, who will torture the elders of Sanxiang even more. I can only learn from the former Duke Li Wenzhong (Li Hongzhang) and try my best to become a paper framer!  "

    Zeng Guangxi interjected: "This is also the tragic fate of Duke Li Wenzhong! In fact, he knew that the Qing Dynasty was terminally ill and was hopelessly ill. He just loved the old favor of the Qing Dynasty and could not bear to part with the bricks, tiles, bottles, and jars.  Try your best to keep it going until you run out of oil and die with hatred. But what is the final result? Ten years after the death of Duke Wen Zhong, the Qing Dynasty collapsed and disappeared. Therefore, a wise man must not only do something, but also judge the situation and choose the best.  Just follow it!"

    Assessing the situation?  Choose the good ones and follow them?

    Tan Yankai suddenly remembered that the two people in front of him not only came from a famous family in Huxiang, but were also among the first batch of graduates of Jingshi University. They could be said to be direct disciples of Sun Yuanqi.  Are they lobbying for Sun Yuan?

    Although intelligence shows that they have never had any contact with Sun Yuanqi, who knows whether they have communicated in private?  Even if there is no contact and communication, the teacher-student relationship is inseparable.  Moreover, the two men's moderate and non-party political attitudes in the province can be completely understood as hiding their capabilities and biding their time and taking action when the time comes.

    The more Tan Yankai thought about it, the more it made sense, and he sighed and replied in a low voice: "In the final analysis, Tan is just a scholar, and the official position to the governor is beyond his imagination. It was just a coincidence that he was pushed to this position by others.  Position. I am not worthy of my name as the governor. Not only do I have no soldiers in my hands, but I can't speak or move my body independently. I am like a puppet at the mercy of others. For example, Tan strongly disagrees with this declaration of independence. When it comes to his true intentions  , I have great respect for President Yuan Da and Premier Sun, and have no intention of confronting the central government.

    "It's just that since the assassination of Song Dunchu and the aftermath of the big loan case, violent people in the party have been shouting and calling, forcing me to call on the central government. Tan saw that they didn't care about the situation in Hunan and tried to sacrifice the whole province.The city is quite impressive, but in terms of the whole province, it cannot compare with the large number of business, academic, and agricultural circles.  And power is higher than all propaganda. Under the premise that the military is vulnerable, no matter how much momentum the political and industrial circles create, they will still be unable to escape the fate of a disastrous defeat!  "

    Counting the pros and cons is nothing more than preparing for negotiation.  Since there is a showdown, there is room for bargaining!

    Tan Yankai suddenly felt relaxed when he thought of this, and asked calmly: "Brother Zhizhong has analyzed the situation in Hunan, and it can be said that he has hit the nail on the head. But what are you talking about?" (Remember the website address:  www.hlnovel.com
