The Republic is so violent

Chapter 78 The First Own Dragon Battle (1)
(1) The poignant and blurred duel
In a remote place in Guizhou, although the two parties are arguing endlessly, no one pays any attention.The revolutionaries are highly concerned about the area along the river where tigers dominate and dragons dominate.For example, after Huang Xing lost the defense of Wuchang and was captured by Feng Guozhang in Hankou, he suggested that the entire Hubei Revolutionary Army go with him to fight guerrillas in Nanjing.

The reason why Huang Xing wanted to go to Nanjing to fight guerrillas was because the war in Nanjing was brilliant.It is said that Nanjing is the head of Jiangsu. In the early years, the governor of Liangjiang, Zhou Fuzuo, asked to compile and train the new army of the Ninth Town, under the command of Xu Shaozhen, an alternate Taoist priest from Jiangsu.This Xu Shaozhen also went to Japan to study, and all of his subordinates were students studying in Japan. The only bad thing was Liu Weiku, the commander of the artillery team-this person studied in Austria, the capital of music.

It should be noted that Jiangsu’s New Army is the Ninth Town, and Wuchang’s New Army is the Eighth Town. Although almost 100% of the officers of these two new armies are students studying in Japan, the officers in the two armies are not There are not many revolutionary parties.This is because those who can study in Japan and become military officers after returning to China have relatively excellent personal abilities, and they can make a lot of money without revolution.Therefore, when these children were in Japan, they tried to keep a distance from Sun Yat-sen's alliance as much as possible, fearing that it would affect their own future. However, the Eighth Town of Wuchang finally broke out, but it was under the instigation of Jianghu tycoon Jiao Dafeng. The revolutionary movement launched by the army, the officers really don't like to wade into the muddy waters of the revolution.

In other words, the Jiangsu Ninth Town led by Xu Shaozhen is loyal and loyal to the imperial court.

However, after the uprising in the Eighth Town of Wuchang, many officers who were not originally from the revolutionary party were involuntarily involved in the revolution one after another, which aroused the vigilance of Zhang Xun, the commander of the Jiangfang Army.

Zhang Xun, the direct descendant of Yuan Shikai in Beiyang, and Zhang Xun was the general brought out by Yuan Shikai when he was training at the small station, and he was a more naughty character in the Beiyang army.On the eve of the First Uprising in Wuchang, Zhang Xun wandered around Nanjing. When he arrived at Diaoyu Lane, he met a beautiful girl, Wang Keqin. Because of her beauty, this girl was called "Little Maozi" by people in the Jianghu.Zhang Xun accidentally met Xiao Maozi, and immediately fell in love. As the saying goes, two people are together and parted, with thousands of knots in their hearts, deep love, rainy, holding hands and looking at teary eyes. You are the wind and I am the sand. Take you back to my house... So Zhang Xun went to Xiaomaozi's house, the two got married and lived happily ever after.

Why mention this little guy?

This is because, in the near future, this charming little girl will have a poignant and confusing showdown with the revolutionary army, which will make the revolutionaries cry and be on the verge of collapse.

Everything was caused by a phone call from Zhang Xun.

After the gunfire in Wuchang, Zhang Xun called Liangjiang Governor Zhang Renjun: Hey, Lao Zhang, I am also Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang of the Jiangfang Army, and Lao Zhang saw Lao Zhang, with tears in his eyes.Let me tell you something, you and I are in extreme danger right now.

Zhang Renjun said: "Old Zhang, don't scare me, Lao Zhang, I am not a big scare, can you explain clearly what is going on?"
Zhang Xun said: The new army of the eighth town in Wuchang has become a rebel, and I see that your new army of the ninth town is also in danger.

Zhang Renjun laughed loudly: "Old Zhang, don't talk about it. I know Xu Shaozhen from the Ninth Town very well. He is an alternate in Jiangsu. The imperial court sent him to study abroad again. He treats him well and will not do anything to offend the imperial court." .

Zhang Xundao: Could it be said that the imperial court is weak to the Eighth Town of Wuchang?Let me tell you, the stepmother of the imperial court loves Eighth Town the most. How did it turn out?The eighth town is reversed, haven't you seen it all?
Zhang Renjun said: "Old Zhang, you must have some basis for saying such a thing, right?"
Zhang Xun said: "The evidence is right under your nose. Look at Xu Shaozhen and the others, which one has a discernment on their head?"When these people went to Japan, they cut out all their identities, and you still say they are reliable?

Zhang Renjun said: "The matter of cutting and distinguishing children... Alas, Xu Shaozhen is a young man after all. Old Zhang, it's not me, Old Zhang, who said you. You have to allow young people to make mistakes. Don't you have a time when you were young Meng Lang?"

Zhang Xundao: Everyone will make mistakes, but you also have to look at the nature of the mistakes. Isn't the imperial court's trust in the Eighth Town more than your trust in Xu Shaozhen?But what about now?It's too late to regret.

Zhang Renjun said: ...Old Zhang, what you said is also reasonable, but Xu Shaozhen and the others...are not easy to deal with, let me think again, I must find a perfect way.

Zhang Renjun's original intention was not to take Zhang Xun's call seriously, nor did he think that Xu Shaozhen would rebel.Unexpectedly, when Zhang Renjun was on the phone with Zhang Xun, Fan Zengxiang, the governor of Jiangning, happened to listen to everything.And this Fan Zengxiang, he is loyal and loyal to the imperial court, but a few days ago he wanted to seek the position of governor of Liangjiang, but he never thought that the imperial court would give this position to Zhang Renjun. Come here to poke around and see if you can catch something and get Lao Zhang down.

Hearing this call, Fan Zengxiang's eyes lit up: losers miss opportunities, while winners create opportunities.If I can create an opportunity and fool Zhang Renjun into forcing the Ninth Town's new army to rebel, Zhang Renjun will definitely lose his position and be dismissed, so wouldn't the governor of Liangjiang fall into the hands of my old fan?
Vomit!Just do what you think, the mental model of a successful person is so simple and quick.

There are divisions of religion, the officialdom is dangerous and overturned, and the world is difficult to drink as an army.Just because a little Fan Zengxiang made the New Army of the Ninth Town of Jiangsu Province and was forced to embark on the road of revolution, how could the law of human nature game implied in this be beyond Zhang Renjun's prediction?

(2) The leaders forced me to start a revolution

So Fan Zengxiang secretly went to Xu Shaozhen and said: There are three thousand troubles in life, but the most troublesome thing is being suspicious.Just like you are now, you are obviously loyal to the Holy One, but everyone thinks you will rebel, isn't it dangerous for you?
Xu Shaozhen was shocked: Lao Fan, what gossip did you hear?rumor!That must be a rumor, my sincerity to the Holy Majesty, only God can show!

Fan Zengxiang smiled and said: This is what I call danger.Little Xu, you are young, and you don't know the sinister ways of the world.Let's put it this way, if you really want to rebel, if you are really a rebellious party, you will kill the nine clans, and you will definitely not complain, right?
Xu Zhenshao: Punish my Nine Clans... Why do you punish my Nine Clans? Why?Who did I provoke?

Fan Zengxiang laughed: Look, I'm talking about it, right?You are obviously not a rebellious party, but you are suspected of being a rebellious party. If you are really punished in the name of a rebellious party, do you think you are wronged?
Xu Shaozhen was furious: Who is such a bastard to spread rumors that I am a rebellious party?I am going to meet Governor Zhang, Master Zhang knows me well, and has listened to my appeal...

Fan Zengxiang cut off Xu Shaozhen's words without losing the opportunity: Little Xu, do you really want to go to the Governor's Mansion just like this with guns and cannons?

Xu Shaozhen was taken aback and realized that his situation was extremely dangerous.He didn't know that it was Fan Zengxiang's nonsense. He really thought that Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, would take strict precautions against him. As long as he stepped near Zhang Renjun, he might be killed by Zhang Renjun on the charge of disrupting the party.

Frightened and desperate, Xu Shaozhen cried and said: I am really loyal to the Holy Majesty, and only God can show my sincerity to the Holy Majesty.Do you want me to take a knife and cut out the heart for you to see?

Fan Zengxiang said: What you have to do now is to express your feelings to Governor Zhang. You are right, you immediately order all the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Town to hand over all the bullets and hand them over to the Ordnance Bureau.Think about it, your soldiers don't even have bullets, even if someone tells Mr. Zhang that you want to rebel, will Mr. Zhang believe it?
Xu Shaozhen was overjoyed: Lao Fan, thank you for giving me such a good idea, you are really my life-saver.

So Xu Shaozhen ordered the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Town to hand over all the bullets, and not a single one was allowed to be kept.And Fan Zengxiang went to Zhang Renjun to explain.

Zhang Renjun asked in surprise: "What the hell is little Xu doing?"How to collect all the soldiers' bullets in a good way?Could it be that he is confessing himself?

Fan Zengxiang said with a smile: "What the governor said is absolutely true. Little Xu just wanted to confess his love to you, and he had no intention of rebelling."

Zhang Renjun also laughed: It's unnecessary, tell me, this little Xu, who said he was going to rebel?

Fan Zengxiang said: No one said he was going to rebel, but he tried his best to confess himself. This only proves that Xiao Xuzi has a guilty conscience, and it means that the impulse to rebel was indeed turning in his mind.Mr. Zhang, Xiao Xuzi handed in all the bullets, not to confess to you, but to confess to his own heart. We can see that he is now at the battle between heaven and man, and he wants to be opposed to what he wants. It depends on the stimuli of the environment and subtle changes in the heart.The heart of Tao is only subtle, and the heart of man is only subtle.In this world, the most dangerous thing is not the rebellion itself, but the lingering desire to rebel in one's own mind.But whoever has this terrible desire, sooner or later, he will put this desire into action.

Speaking of this, Fan Zengxiang stood up and said emotionally: "Master Zhang, has he ever read the book "Zhuangzi"?"There is a story in the book, it is said that there was an old woman who lost her ax and suspected that it was stolen by the young man next door. Looking at the young man from the left, she looked like a thief, but looking at the right, the young man still looked like a thief. Later, she found her own ax again. At this time When the old lady looked at the boy next door, she didn't look like a thief when she looked to the left, and she didn't look like a thief when she looked to the right.This story tells us: Thieves are in our hearts. If there are thieves in our hearts, the world will be full of thieves. If there are no thieves in our hearts, the world will be without thieves. So is there thieves or no thieves in the world?It depends on Mr. Zhang's attitude towards Xiao Xuzi. If you have never doubted him before, then he will definitely not turn against him. But now he has repeatedly confessed himself, which means that the relationship between the two of you has already cracked , how to repair this crack?There is only one way!
Zhang Renjun asked anxiously: What way?
Fan Zengxiang laughed and said: This way is to transfer Xiao Xuzi's Ninth Town out of Jinling City and station it at Moling Pass 60 li away from the city.You and I both know that Xiao Xuzi will not rebel, but what about the people around Xiao Xuzi?There must be a revolutionary party in Xiao Xuzi's barracks.Let Xiao Xuzi carry out the rectification movement at Moling Pass and let him arrest all the revolutionaries. Wouldn't it be possible to preserve Nanjing City and prove Xiao Xuzi's innocence?
Zhang Renjun was overjoyed: Lao Fan, you are indeed a veteran cadre, you have a quick mind.This method is great, let Xiao Xuzi go to Moling Pass to find out the rebels in his own barracks first, this is more convincing than anything else.

Issue an order: Order the Ninth Township to control Xu Shaozhen, and lead your troops to Molingguan to station recently.

When Xu Shaozhen received the order, he cried and said: My sincerity to the Holy One can only be shown by God. Do you want to cut open my heart with a knife and show it to you? Do you want it?

The adjutant who delivered the order smiled and said: "Xiao Xuzi, don't be a jerk about your mother, you accept the order honestly and move to Moling Pass, this can prove that you will not rebel, and you still need to reveal your identity." Heart?

Xu Shaozhen said: ...You have a reason to say so.Then I will move to Moling Pass. Anyway, I am utterly loyal, and it is useless for anyone to spread rumors that I am rebellious.

So Xu Shaozhen ordered the Ninth Town to open and go to Moling Pass to find a place to camp.The army marched out of Nanjing City in mighty force, when they heard a trumpet fired from the city plate behind them, they saw flames everywhere, and a thick column of smoke rose from the city of Nanjing, covering the sky in an instant.A deafening shout came from far away in the city:

Xu Shaozhen is rebellious, the revolution is happening, let's go, let's start a revolution with Xu Shaozhen...

Suddenly Xu Shaozhen's face was ashamed: what's the matter?Who is yelling in the city?Why did you falsely accuse me of rebellion?Who is going to have trouble with me?

(3) People in Nanjing are emotionally stable

It was two people who set fire and shouted in the city.One is Su Liangbin and the other is Cui Ying.

What is the origin of these two live treasures?
Su Liangbin, a glorious demobilized veteran soldier, used to eat food in Xu Shaozhen's barracks in the Ninth Town. After his demobilization and re-employment, the imperial court did not solve his job, which caused old Su to live on the street without food and clothing, starving to the point that his eyes turned blue. .Hunger stimulated Lao Su's desire for revolution. He thought, if the world is in chaos now, it would be great. I can rob whoever I want, and I can sleep with any girl I want. Grandma, this prosperous world lacking virtue, If I eat and sleep, I will be beheaded!
The one who had the same idea as Su Liangbin was his neighbor Cui Ying. The two were so hungry that they were tearful, so they wandered outside the gate of the Jiangning County Office every day. ?Is it about to change the dynasty?Is it again...

In short, these two guys have an irrepressible excitement about the dark side of society.

The two of them just inquired about bad news every day, and the servants all saw that these two guys were funny.Damn, looking forward to the troubled times is going crazy.One day a yamen servant went out, Su Liangbin and Cui Ying stepped forward to inquire again: Hey buddy, did you hear that?This time it's really going to be chaotic... The yamen servant said: You are right, it is really going to be chaotic, don't you see that Xu Shaozhen's Ninth Town has already left the city?Everyone knows that as soon as Xu Shaozhen leaves the city, he will come back to attack the city...

The yamen servant was originally joking, meaning to mock Su Liangbin and Cui Ying's fantasies.If Xu Shaozhen really wanted to rebel, he would shoot and set fire to the city, and he had to go out of the city first and then come back to attack the city. Are you sick?
However, Su Liangbin and Cui Ying, the two living treasures, are looking forward to the troubled times every day, and their thinking has been seriously distorted, imagining all the things that are not logical but in line with their wishes.After hearing the words of the yamen servant, he was inexplicably excited, danced and danced, and immediately took action to cooperate with Xu Shaozhen's revolution.

Su Liangbin and Cui Ying have been secretly preparing for a revolution for a long time.

They found that there was a pile of dry firewood near Nanjing Prison, and the two deliberately piled a lot of inflammable materials on the dry firewood.This time when they heard the news of Xu Shaozhen's rebellion, the two ran wildly, went straight to the prison, set fire to the place first, and then yelled: revolution, murder, Xu Shaozhen's rebellion, Xu Shaozhen's Ninth Town rebelled...
