Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Although Wang Jingwei successfully escaped the pursuit by relying on Wang Zhenpeng, the consequences of the assassination still exist.

Everyone, including Zhang Taiyan and others, believed that Sun Wen was the real behind-the-scenes figure in the entire assassination. Otherwise, how could Wang Jingwei, a minister, dare to plan such a bold action.

And Wuhan did not intend to stop the investigation and arrests, and the city of Nanjing became turbulent and full of soldiers.

It is worth mentioning that Wuhan, which pays attention to news control, did not take this measure this time, but let the media comment.Under such an atmosphere, many small citizens naturally dared to express their views on the assassination incident.

"Have you heard that Emperor Sun sent Wang Shangshu to assassinate Marshal Wang, but the matter failed. Wang Shangshu fled overnight, and Emperor Sun surrounded Marshal Wang's soldiers in the palace."

"Hey, Hu Er, I just heard your old boy talking nonsense here. What is the emperor's minister? I don't even look at the fact that it has been a few years since the Republic of China. Sun Wen's official is called the chairman, and Wang Jingwei's official is called the minister. One of my brothers is here. The Nationalist government is an servant, and this matter has just started. It is said that the commander in Wuhan has not yet made a killing plan, otherwise the officials who keep the city of Nanjing will be dead. You did not see the battle last afternoon, the navy The base was surrounded by Marshal Wang’s soldiers, and all the sailors were driven off the ship. More than 100 officers were taken away.”

"Oh, there are so many, brothers, tell me what happened, Chairman Sun is going to kill Marshal Wang, isn't life going well recently?"

"What a fart, have you ever read The Three Kingdoms? Then Wang Zhenyu is Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms. Sun Dapao is at best a Han Xiandi, and this Wang Jingwei is playing the role of Dong Chengdong and Uncle Dong who ordered Cao Cao to be exterminated."

"You've watched too many dramas..."

In short, there is nothing to say.

At this time, the official residence of the chairman of the National Government had been surrounded for more than [-] hours, and Sun Wen was also very conscious and had no plans to go out.And it was the troops of the Nanjing Security Corps who were ordered to surround the chairman's mansion and confront the national government guards, led by a detachment leader He Yunqing, who was also at a loss at the moment.If it wasn't for doubts about the siege of the chairman's mansion, he is the eldest son of a private salt dealer in Yongshun, Xiangxi. If Wang Zhenyu didn't appreciate it, his family would never have made a fortune.Now his father is the director of the Hunan Provincial Salt Bureau, his brother-in-law Gu Hu is the head of the Yueyang Detachment of the Hunan Security Corps, and he himself was transferred to the security department in the subsequent major adaptation because of his outstanding military achievements in the War to Protect the Country. System, served as the colonel detachment leader of the first team of the Nanjing Corps.In this way, He Yunqing can be said to be the role of Genzheng Miaohong. Such a person, let alone surround the mansion of the Chairman of the National Government, if you ask him to bring soldiers to kill Sun Wen, he will do it without hesitation.So what really confused He Yunqing was that it was clearly surrounded, but it didn't cut off the connection with the outside world. Except that people were not allowed to enter and exit, the telephone line, power supply, and water supply were all kept unimpeded.Moreover, he was ordered not to conflict with the chairman's guard, and the reason for the siege was not to encircle but to protect Sun Wen.

And Sun Wen was also very depressed. In the past thirty hours, people from all walks of life in the government called in to find out what happened. Sun Wen answered a few at first, but then he felt upset and decided not to answer. up.The only thing he expects now is for Wang Jingwei to escape smoothly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.To put it simply, once Wang Jingwei fell into the hands of Wang Zhenyu's secret service agency, after a severe beating, he would recruit whoever he asked to recruit, and if something bad happened, the entire alliance would be uprooted.

It is not more than a year ago now, including Sun Wen himself, the comrades of the Chinese Revolutionary Party at the time are now used to the days of being in power and going out and about.You let them give up their cars, houses, tickets, gold, women, and then go to the revolution with their heads on their belts. That's not bullshit.

Sun Wen couldn't help but let out a long sigh. While hoping that Zhang Fakui would be able to do things well, he kept comforting Soong Ching Ling who was obviously frightened and the child in her belly (historical changes have occurred, and Lao Sun is recovering well). Too bad time.Thinking of this, Sun Wen couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Should he have stopped Wang Jingwei's behavior at that time, instead of acquiescing or even encouraging him? Now it seems that he was too greedy and hasty.

But regret is useless. What really frustrated Sun Wen was that Wang Zhenyu, who seemed to be indifferent to Nanjing government affairs on weekdays, was so rough, simple but sharp and effective once he took action.I don't even have the means to fight back at all. I'm afraid this feeling is not as strong as the golden bird in the cage. . .well! ! !

However, Sun Wen's political sense is still very good. After much deliberation, he stroked Soong Ching Ling's beautiful hair and said, "Ma'am, don't be afraid. If you want to touch me, Wang Zhenyu has already done it. He hasn't moved for so long, so why not?" This matter is more intimidating than actual. After a few days, this matter will naturally subside, alas!"

Soong Ching Ling cried, "Aren't you the chairman of the national government? Isn't he still your subordinate in name? Why did he surround you when he said he would surround you?"

When Sun Wen heard this, he laughed at himself helplessly: "You also know that it is in name, Wang Zhenyu, a Hunan boy, is a living Cao Cao..."

"Ah!" Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but sneezed. At this moment, our live Cao Cao was busy receiving the two speakers, Liang Qichao and Hu Hanmin, who came from Nanjing overnight to meet him. I'll catch a cold!"

Liang Qichao and Hu Hanmin hurriedly said: "The state affairs are difficult, the chairman should take care of his health!"

Wang Zhenyu chuckled and said, "Take care of your health. There are many people in Nanjing looking forward to my return to the west soon. Why should I take care of my health?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Now that the north is constantly fighting and the south is developing at a critical moment, how can we not have Wenzheng you at this time?" Liang Qichao was also embarrassed by Wang Zhenyu's words, and hurried out to persuade him.

Everyone chattered for a while, and Hu Hanmin said impatiently: "Comrade Chairman, we are also deeply shocked and angry about your assassination, but after all, this is just Wang Jingwei's personal behavior, and now it has attracted so many people. Things are going to be very troublesome!"

After hearing this, Wang Zhenyu said with a cold face: "Cousin Zhan means that Mr. Wang is busy now. According to Mr. Zhan's meaning, the most correct way for Mr. Wang should be to kill him obediently, and then stay A bunch of orphans and widows in the family and a bunch of brothers who have worked hard for this country but got nothing, and then you hold a memorial service and distribute pensions, and you have the power in your hands, right? Hu Zhantang!"

Hu Hanmin was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak any more on the spot, and his face was flushed. Wang Zhenyu was obviously angry now. If he accidentally treated himself as Wang Jingwei's accomplice, he would be doomed.

Seeing this scene, Liang Qichao had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out: "Chairman, Chairman Hu naturally didn't mean that. In fact, we are mainly worried about the political impact. If you let soldiers surround the chairman's mansion, the impact of using the military to intervene in politics is more or less bad. A little bit."

Liang Qichao still has to give some face. After all, he and Xiong Xiling are now in the same line as his uncle Wang Longzhong, so Wang Zhenyu did not speak ill of each other like Hu Hanmin, on the contrary he gave face to listen to him.

Liang Qichao seemed to be encouraged and continued: "So no matter what, we should consider how to end this matter decently."

Wang Zhenyu leaned his back on the sofa: "It's simple, I just ask for a few points. If I can do it, I will investigate and deal with this assassination. Otherwise, I don't mind using force to reorganize the National Government... The first point is to revise the "National Government." Government Organization Law, to expand the power of the State Council; second, formulate and pass the "Land Law", "Farm Production Subsidy System" and "Administrative Measures for Fisheries and Farmers Associations"; The State Department co-leads . . . "

Wang Zhenyu stated seven requirements in one breath, but the content was not excessive, which surprised Liang Qichao and Hu Hanmin.

Hu Hanmin asked cautiously: "Chairman, is that all? Are there no major changes in personnel?"

Wang Zhenyu thought for a while and smiled: "Do you still want me to drive Mr. Sun Wen out of office? I have thought about it. Mr. Sun cannot escape responsibility for this assassination. It is also necessary, for a period of one year, to see the effect, that is to say, this is the step. But the ugly words come to the fore, among the few items I raised earlier, if the problem of rural reform and the problem of naval reorganization are not resolved for a long time , I don't mind the reorganization of the entire national government by an armed coup..."

On the afternoon of August 8, Hu Hanmin returned to Nanjing. He did not go there after disembarking, but went straight to the chairman's mansion. Because he had Wang Zhenyu's personal letter, He Yunqing did not stop him but ordered him to let him go.

"This is simply too much. What is a warlord? This is a warlord. What is the difference between him, Wang Zhenyu, and Yuan Shikai?" Sun Wen was naturally furious when he saw Wang Zhenyu's conditions, and became angry directly in front of Hu Hanmin. .

Hu Hanmin shook his hands and said: "Chairman, in this situation, if we don't agree, we may be taken over by Wang Zhenyu."

Sun Wen shook his head and said: "I see, the most fundamental problem is that you are used to living a good life, and you don't want to continue the revolution like you did when you opposed Yuan. My personal honor, Sun Wen, is a trivial matter, but do you know that? How troublesome is this rural reform, how dare you accept it? Do you know how many people we will offend in the end?"

Hu Hanmin shook his head and said: "Sir, at this time we must focus on the overall situation. Wang Zhaoming is really unlucky. I read the No. [-] briefing on the assassination incident today. Wang Jingwei's luck is not so good. Wang Zhenyu is almost half-legged. The hell is closed, but this is what allowed him to escape, sir, although I know you don't want to, but this is the only way to meet Wang Zhenyu's request..."
