The Republic is so violent

Chapter 84
At the meeting, everyone said: think of a way to coax this revolutionary boy to leave.You fucking Hunanese came to our place to start a revolution, murder and set fire, corrupt one side, he is happy, but we are all born and bred, and we have to do business to make a living, how can we offend him.If it doesn't work, let's see if we can scrape together a few small coins and send him away?
So he sent three squires as representatives to come to Peng Shousong's house.

The three representatives asked: Mr. Peng, if you want revolution, we firmly support it, really support it.But a revolution like this will kill people on the one hand, and make us unable to do business and make a living. Well, let’s see if we can discuss it. How about a revolution in another place?

Peng Shousong: ... another local revolution?What place to change?
Three Represents: How about going to Hong Kong?
Peng Shousong: ... Just kidding!

Three Represents: We mean business.Of course, in order to compensate you for the loss of the revolution, we are willing to pool a sum of money to give you a thank-you ceremony, and we will do our best to make you satisfied.

Peng Shousong: Don’t try to buy me with money. I, Peng Shousong, am a member of the Revolutionary Party. The revolution advances but never retreats. : Tell me first, if we go to Hong Kong, how much will you pay?

Three representatives: this...the amount of money...

Peng Shousong hurriedly wanted to push his wife away: Don't make a mess, this is a major revolutionary event...

The wife turned her head to Peng Shousong's face, and sprayed the saliva all over Peng Shousong's face: To kill your mother, what is the purpose of your revolution?Isn't it just for women and money?There is an old lady here, so don't think about women today as early as possible!
Peng Shousong was in a hurry: what are you talking about, how could I have the idea of ​​hitting a woman?

Wife: It's not the idea of ​​hitting on women, why don't you want money?Hmph, don't think that I don't know, there are so many people in the League, eating delicacies from mountains and seas, and the beautiful women are sleeping, but they are only coaxing you to fight hard in Fujian and Ling Chunxuan.You're stupid and I'm not stupid, if you don't listen to me today, I'll show you my life!
Seeing the opportunity, the three representatives rushed in and said, "Look, how about 1 yuan?"

The wife responded with one sentence: too little, at least 20!
The three representatives were taken aback: 20, then you should stay in Fujian and continue the revolution.

Wife: Then how much can you give at most?
Three representatives: up to [-], no more.

Wife: At least 15, no less.

Three Represents: ... Let's grit our teeth, up to [-], if you agree, we will make a deal, if you don't agree, you can revolutionize.

Wife: Deal!
Peng Shousong stood aside blankly, watching this scene, and shed tears of despair: Wife, my name as a revolutionist of Peng Shousong’s generation was ruined by you just because of this 10 yuan... oh, oh, he Let go of mourning and howl.

Witnessing the oppression of money, the end of the hero, and the pain of the husband's despair, the wife softened her heart.Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said loudly: "It's not enough, I can't let my husband bear the bad reputation of taking money and leaving. Before leaving, you must put my husband in red, and send him off with a guard of honor!"
Three representatives: That's for sure.

Wife: ...Why did you agree so happily?

Three representatives: just to send away the plague god of the revolution, we have a good life.

(19) This life must be changed

On the day Peng Shousong left Fujian, he was wearing brocade and silk clothes, red and colorful, and he and his wife each sat in eight sedan chairs.On both sides of the sedan chair, there are flower and drum bands from all walks of life in Fujian. The guard of honor also holds the sign of avoiding silence in the yamen. The streets are full of gongs and drums, which are more lively than any festival.

When they arrived in Majiang, the Pengs boarded the ferry to Hong Kong, and the send-off crowd on the pier set off deafening firecrackers.Everyone was immersed in the joy of happiness, only Chen Zifan from the Tongmenghui burst into tears:
The Revolutionary Party lost Fujian in this way.

But what they lost was Sangyu, and what they gained was East. Although the Revolutionary Party lost Fujian, they got Guangdong in a daze.

Guangdong is very important to the Tongmenghui, because it is the hometown of Sun Yat-sen. The revolutionary party has invested countless money and blood in this land, hoping to achieve the first victory of the revolution.Especially in the battle of Huanghuagang, the Tongmenghui and the Restoration Society, it can be said that they put all their eggs in one basket, throwing all the elites of the two associations into the bloody battle in Guangzhou.However, he met Li Zhun, the admiral of the Navy, and was easily put down by the revolutionary party.

It can be said that the 72 martyrs in Huanghuagang all died at the hands of Li Zhun.The party members' hatred for Li Zhun's gnashing of teeth has reached the extreme. Huang Xing even personally organized an assassination team in Guangzhou, and vowed not to stop until Li Zhun was killed.Party members Chen Jingyue and Lin Guanci hit Li Zhunyu at the bottom of the double gate with bombs, but missed.Lin Guanci was shot to death on the spot, and Chen Jingyue was arrested and executed.

The assassination failed, and the party members transferred their anger to the Guangzhou general Fengshan who had just taken office. Ma Chaojun, an old revolutionary party member, wrote a memoir, describing the detailed process of assassinating Fengshan:
... After the death of General Fu Qi in Guangzhou, the Qing government sent Feng Shan to succeed him, and he arrived in Guangzhou on September 9 (October 4 in the Gregorian calendar).Beforehand, Li Peiji and I rented a shop on Cangqian Street in Nanguan. The shop was called Chengji, and it sold Chinese and foreign groceries. It opened on August 10. This place was the only place where Fengshan landed. On September 15, Fengshan landed at Tianzi Wharf. Li Peiji and I first asked all the comrades to leave the store, and the two waited in the shop. When Fengshan passed by, Peiji forcefully threw a 8-pound bomb to the store. Fengshan throws it violently and hits it immediately.Fengshan was killed on the spot, and more than 24 people were killed or injured including the guards and spectators.Afterwards, the two of us walked out from behind the shop and escaped calmly...

Look at this transcript, this Fengshan was unlucky enough, he was killed by bombing as soon as he landed in Guangzhou, where do you think he should go to reason?
Interestingly, about the bombing of Fengshan, Hu Hanmin, a veteran cadre of the Tongmenghui, also mentioned in his autobiography:

...First, Li Peiji and his brother Yingsheng, Zhou Zhizhen, Gao Jianfu and others opened a fake shop on Cangqian Street. They prepared three bombs, the largest one weighing 17 pounds, and used wooden boards to cover the eaves, and the boards were dragged with ropes.It was reported that Fengshan was approaching in the morning, so all comrades and partners were ordered to go, but Peiji was left to hold the responsibility.Fengshan shouldered his car to the front of the shop, Peiji cut the rope at the back of the shop, the rope broke, and there was a loud bang, Fengshan and more than ten of his followers were killed, seven of the shopkeepers collapsed, and Peiji's shop also collapsed.Pei Ji was in a back street, and started to hurry. When he met a boy of four or five years old, he pointed at him and laughed, saying that the man's head was covered with mud.Pei Ji suddenly realized that he hugged the boy eagerly, and said with a smile that I would buy candy for you, while wiping himself, and went to the market together, gave the fruit to the boy, and walked away leisurely...

Comparing the memories of Ma Chaojun and Hu Hanmin will make us want to cry without tears.Here, Ma Chaojun said that he and Li Peiji did the assassination together, but Hu Hanmin never mentioned Ma Chaojun. One of them must have lied.

Who is it?
I really don't understand these old revolutionaries. To be honest, they will die?
But no matter what, the party members used Fengshan to vent their anger, but they had nothing to do with Li Zhun, they could only dissipate their hatred.

Since then, I have given up on Guangdong.

Party members were scattered, Sun Yat-sen went to Dianhua City alone, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, Tan Renfeng followed Chen Qimei to Shanghai, and Hu Hanmin was walking irregularly between Japan and Nanyang. When he was at a loss, he suddenly received news :
Li Zhun, the admiral of the Navy, sent people to ask for a joint revolution.

real or fake?

If Li Zhun really wants to revolutionize, why does the former need to kill the revolutionary party all over the street?

However, the news is absolutely true. Revolution is something that cannot be controlled at all. It has its own inherent logical laws. When this law runs to the time when you should not revolutionize, you will not be able to revolutionize it even if you want to. When you should revolutionize At this time, even if you raise the bar again, this life must be changed.

Li Zhun, it's time for a revolution.

(20) Blocked on the road to revolution
The cause of Li Zhun's resolute revolution, the Admiral of the Navy, was the last Guangzhou Revolutionary Army Uprising.

Last time, under the leadership of Huang Xing, the rebel army, armed with pistols and bombs, stormed the supervisor's office. Zhang Mingqi, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, broke through the wall and fled to the admiral of the navy, Li Zhun, for refuge.Ordinarily at this time, the two are brothers in need, and they should help each other in the same boat.But Li Zhun saw Zhang Mingqi's appearance was too worthless, looked down on him, first raised his head, killed all the revolutionaries, quelled the chaos in Guangzhou, and then teased Zhang Mingqi, saying: "Your surname is Zhang, are you a pig?"You're so stupid, so few gangsters scare you like this?Go back to breastfeeding on your mother's belly!
Zhang Mingqi was scolded so badly that he didn't dare to say anything, but he was ruthless in his heart: You lost your mother Li Zhun, you dare to look down on me, can I not deal with you?You wait for me to turn over, I will definitely make you regret getting out of your mother's belly!

All in all, this is considered to be a blood feud in the hatchback, and it will never end.

Logically speaking, Li Zhun shouldn't insult Zhang Mingqi publicly. There are official rules in the officialdom, and they pay attention to people carrying people in bridal sedan chairs. You give me face, and I will give you face. Only then will everyone have face.If Li Zhun was really so superficial that he humiliated his colleagues face to face, such a person who doesn't understand official rules would have no chance of being promoted to the position of Admiral of the Navy.

The real reason for the grudge between the two should be composed of a series of small details.The success or failure of life lies in these specific and tiny details. If the small details are not handled well, it is inevitable to cause grievances with others.If you are in the ranks of the revolution, you may be squeezed into the ranks of counter-revolutionaries if you do not handle the details well.On the contrary, like Li Zhun, because of every small detail, he was squeezed from the ranks of counter-revolutionaries to the ranks of revolutionaries.

First, Zhang Mingqi stole Li Zhun's contribution to quelling the chaos. He edited the confessions of the martyrs in Huanghuagang, added photos, and submitted them to the court to show his merits.Then it was printed into a book and distributed to the consulates of various countries in Guangzhou to show off their achievements in suppressing the chaos.A picture album flowed into Waseda University in Japan, which caused the teachers and students of the whole school to cry bitterly.

Because Waseda University discovered that among the martyrs who died in Guangzhou, there were many excellent graduates of Waseda University, not to mention the children of aristocratic families and wealthy families.Waseda University flew its flag at half-mast for this and held a memorial service for the Huanghuagang martyr.

Zhang Mingqi may not know that Waseda University held a memorial service for the Huanghuagang martyr.But since he took the credit of Li Zhun, he inevitably felt guilty, so he kept a close eye on Li Zhun to see if Li Zhun found out what he had done.He didn't want to stare, but found something that made him restless.
