Back to the Republic of China as a commander

On July 7, the Jiangxi Provincial Council held a special meeting, publicly elected Li Liejun as the commander-in-chief of the Jiangxi Dispute Yuan Army, and Ouyang Wu as the governor, announcing the separation from the Beijing government.

On July 7th, Huang Xing rushed to Nanjing, organized Yuan Jun in the first and eighth divisions stationed in Nanjing, and planned to coerce Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu Province, to declare independence. That night, Huang Xing and others rushed into the governor's office, causing Cheng Dequan to panic Under the circumstances, he had to pretend to agree, and then Huang Xing called Jiangsu Independence in the name of Cheng Dequan.

On July 7, Anhui Bo Wenwei declared independence.

On July 7, Chen Qimei in Shanghai, Hu Hanmin and Chen Jiongming in Guangdong jointly declared independence.

On July, Xu Chongzhi forced Sun Daoren, the governor of Fujian, to declare independence, and Xu Chongzhi became the commander-in-chief of the Yuan army.

On July 7, Tan Yankai had to be independent under the pressure of the situation.

On August 8, Xiong Kewu, the commander of the Sichuan Third Division, took office as the commander-in-chief of Yuan, and declared the independence of Chongqing.

On July 7, Sun Yat-sen sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai to persuade him to resign. The telegram said: "...the public has no other choice but to resign today. ... If the public must want to disable the people to succeed, good words will not be accepted, and the text cannot bear the people of the southeast for a long time." When the soldiers are in trouble, they must oppose the determination of the monarch to fight against the government, and they will never turn back."

Is the father of the nation trying to persuade old Comrade Yuan to resign and step down?It's a pity that Lao Yuan didn't buy it, and this power-up became a huge joke, which confirmed Sun Dapao's reputation.

After Yuan Shikai received Sun Yat-sen's telegram, he withdrew Sun Yat-sen's full authority to organize the national railway.At the same time, the deployment was strengthened, all efforts were made to suppress the anti-Yuan uprisings in various places, and Huang Xing, Chen Qimei, Xu Chongzhi and others were ordered to be wanted.

The North and the South finally broke their faces and fought.

When Wang Zhenyu was discussing with everyone, he dropped this sentence: "Never expect to realize your dreams through evil means. The chaos in China is due to this means."

Late at night on July 7, Li Zongren, commander of the First Mountain Brigade, and the main officers of the brigade sat motionless at the brigade headquarters.Until the wall clock given to him by the commander-in-chief rang twelve o’clock in the middle of the night (the Germans sent a bunch of clocks to Wang Zhenyu, and Wang Zhenyu, who couldn’t laugh or cry, gave clocks to others everywhere after him, his mind was gloomy), Li Zongren suddenly stood up , shouting: "Action!"

With a long rally whistle, thousands of officers and soldiers of the first brigade immediately turned on the lights of the barracks, and the whole barracks were brightly lit.The officers issued urging orders from barracks to barracks, and the squad leaders shouted to the soldiers in their own squad: "Check whether the equipment, rifles, stabs, grenades, bullet belts, water bottles, backpacks, and dry food bags are complete. Answer all of them. Finished, let's begin."

"Complete" and "Complete" The long-term training allowed the soldiers to complete the inspection work very skillfully. . .

Then groups of soldiers, led by the officers, ran into the designated positions and completed the assembly.

Li Zongren looked at the western pocket watch issued to him by the Armament Department. The whole process did not exceed 5 minutes. He nodded to these energetic subordinates with satisfaction: "Masters, under the order of the guarding envoy, we will crusade against the subordinates." Yuan Thief's Changde Wang Ni, in order to rectify the state."

What is the state system?Although the soldiers have learned the culture, they still don't know much about it. It doesn't matter. Li Zongren raised his right hand and shouted: "Long live the commander, long live the Tiger Brigade."

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live the commander, long live the Tiger Brigade."

"Board".

Fifteen 5000-ton freighters were already waiting at the Yuanjiang Wharf in Anjiang, and Li Zongren's Department of the First Mountain Brigade and more than [-] heavily armed officers and soldiers began to board the ship in an orderly manner.The artillery equipment was sent directly to five cargo ships specialized in transporting weapons and ammunition by huge tower cranes. This kind of mechanical power made Li Zongren overjoyed.

In just one hour, all combat units and equipment have completed their debut.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi exchanged glances and ordered the boat to sail.

The long whistle was sounded, the huge fleet headed straight for Changde, and the curtain of war was slowly opened. . . . . .

Life is always full of various adventures, and we can even conclude that no one's life can be copied.

Wang Zhenya's life is a classic representative of an adventure. The 42-year-old was a very staunch counter-revolutionary two years ago.In the Yuan Dynasty, he became a revolutionary hero because of his capture of Jingzhou. At that time, together with Wang Zhenyu, he was called a famous general of the people's army and the second king of Hunan.Later, he was appointed by Tan Yankai as the guardian envoy of Lizhou. In this process, a man named Li Zhizhong played an important role.

On October 1911, 10, the Wuchang Uprising.In order to prevent Hunan's new army from imitating the Wuchang Uprising, the first thing Yu Chengge, the governor of Hunan at the time, thought of was Wang Zhenya, a former Yunnan Mengzi Taoist and Guizhou inspector who was a native of Ding You and had a reputation as a martial arts writer.So he hurriedly called Wang Zhenya to go to the province to assist, hoping that Wang could follow Zeng Wenzheng's example in this critical moment and do his best to serve the court that cultivated him.Yu Chengge asked the Qing court to use the king to go to Hubei. Wang Zhenya came to Changde to recruit troops to attack the Wuchang revolutionary army. Changde revolutionaries wanted to arrest and execute him, and the atmosphere was very tense.Li Zhizhong met Wang acquaintance, so he stopped and said: "This person is still available. If you trust me, please leave it to me."

Afterwards, Li Zhizhong went to talk to Wang Zhenya about the situation, referring to Chen Guoshi, the Three Principles of the People, and the people's republic. Wang Zhenya was convinced by what he said, and laughter filled the outdoors. Three days later, Wang Zhenya surrendered and respected Li Zhizhong as his predecessor.We don't know if the real history is like this, but it is probably the general trend. Otherwise, it is really unlikely that a person can be persuaded to completely subvert his political stance with just a few words.

In this way, the road after Wang Zhenya was smooth sailing. From a Manchu Qing bureaucrat with Ding You at home to a revolutionary hero who captured Jingzhou, and then went out of Lizhou to become the number one person in Changde area, all this only took two years.Wang Zhenya even changed her name, now she is called Wang Zhengya.

Comrade Wang Zhengya's life is very good now. Changde is a treasure land of geomantic omen. The Yuanjiang River must pass through this place before entering Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River. This means that at least in terms of commercial tax, Wang Zhengya's income will not be less than Wang Zhenyu's. .No wonder later generations Wang Zhengya was able to fight against the Phoenix Military Group in Xiangxi, guarding such a golden position in Changde, there is really no shortage of soldiers and supplies.

However, Wang Zhengya is also facing the same problem as Wang Zhenyu, that is, in the small Changde territory, various forces are mixed with dragons and snakes.Compared with Wang Zhenyu's efficient handling methods, Wang Zhengya is much slower, and has been unable to unify the military and politics for a long time.But it doesn't matter, now that he controls the piers in Taoyuan and Li County, he doesn't have to worry about money.Soon he expanded his army from four battalions with 4000 men to twelve regiments with more than 11000 men. Just as he was about to clear out all kinds of dissidents in his jurisdiction who were against the trend of history.A second revolution broke out. . .

The small environment is always affected by the big environment, so Wang Zhengya had to put down the suppression plan in hand, and called her brother-in-law Qingheng and son Wang Yuyin to discuss the countermeasures. Which side would it be better for her to stand?

Qing Heng was not in a hurry to speak, he had already considered the whole situation before coming.He is still grateful to his brother-in-law who took him in when he was at his worst, so he has to be more cautious in planning this time.

On the contrary, it was Wang Yuyin, a young man who was straightforward and said whatever he thought of: "Father, there is no hesitation. If it were me, I would directly support the Northern Army. President Yuan got money from the five-nation consortium, and Sun Dapao What do they have, they don’t have a dime, and this time they want to rely on the revolutionary spirit to fool us into working for him, there is no door.”

After Wang Zhengya heard his son's words, he immediately reprimanded him: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? How many times have you said that? Think twice before speaking. Don't rush to speak. Why don't you change your mind?"

Wang Yuyin was very unconvinced by his father's reprimand, so he pursed his lips and refused to speak.

Only then did Qing Heng speak: "My lord, I heard that Zhu Rui, the governor of Zhejiang, and Cai E, the governor of Yunnan, are neutral by electricity. Why don't you do the same? Our place in Changde is on the north-south boundary. If you ask Yuan, the future is clear, and we will pursue it in the future." Get up, my lord, how do you protect yourself? But don’t ask for Yuan? The army of Governor Tan is on the side of Dongting Lake, and it is estimated that they will come to ask for us later. It’s difficult!"

Wang Zhengya thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, maybe brother-in-law is going to make a judgment call this time. You are right, but neutrality needs to be played with strength. We only have ten thousand sticks right now. Human guns, how can there be a neutral law? This war, I am sure, will definitely be won by President Yuan Da, who is well-equipped with soldiers and food, and we can only stand on his side. I have declared independence. I know this person. If there is any trouble, he will definitely fall to Lao Yuan. From this, we can see that although we have taken some risks, we are not invincible, and there are no strong enemies around us, so I Decided to support President Yuan Da and crusade against Sun and Huang's rebellion."

Wang Yuyin immediately happily went out to send his father a telegram supporting the Beijing government, but Qing Heng could only shake his head, sighed and left.

On the morning of July 7, Wang Zhengya, the guardian envoy of Lizhou, sent a telegram to the whole country, refusing to recognize the order of the Hunan Governor's Mansion to declare independence, announcing that Li County firmly supported the Beijing government, and called on Changde's military and civilians to closely unite around the central government with Yuan Shikai at the core, resolutely Crush the criminal acts of a small group of rebels headed by Sun Huang.

With the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind, Wang Zhengya really didn't care enough about Wang Zhenyu next door to her. This was also a common problem of bureaucrats in the former Qing Dynasty.In fact, as long as you spend a day squatting at the Nanmen Wharf and looking at the number of foreign ships on the Yuanjiang River in the past, you can deduce how amazing changes are taking place in Anjiang in Western Hunan.It's a pity that Wang Zhengya didn't have the time, and the people below didn't have the brains. So, they made thousands of calculations, and actually missed Wang Zhenyu who had ambitions for Changde.

I can't start my life again, and I regret not having the land to buy medicine. . .
