The Republic is so violent

Chapter 95 The Wonderful Puppet Show (4)
A brother came over, opened the purse, and took out 3000 yuan in cash.Putting it in his arms, Wang Zhongsheng put away his pistol, and told his brothers: "You go to Hardong Garden and wait for me, and I will go there right away to give everyone severance pay."All the brothers happily rushed to Hardong Garden, but Wang Zhongsheng ran towards the pier with his feet, and jumped on board when he reached the pier. The ferry just set off and headed for Tianjin.

Here, Chen Qimei is devastated, how can she give up?Immediately called Ying Guixin from the intelligence department: Lao Ying, how do you do your job?Just now Wang Zhongsheng actually pointed a gun at my head, at Allah's head!You also scold Allah, the little red guy. If this kind of disharmony occurs, your spy agency has seriously neglected its duties.

Ying Guixin said on the phone: Where is the dereliction of duty?Obviously not, the matter of Wang Zhongsheng has been resolved.

Chen Qimei: Solved?How did you solve it?
Ying Guixin said: "Old Chen, you also know that Tianjin is the enemy's war zone, and it is the territory of the Qing Dynasty."We can't go there to arrest people, even extradition.So I just called the arrest department in Tianjin and told them that Wang Zhongsheng, a revolutionary from Sun Wen, was lurking in Tianjin by boat.Old Chen, just watch the fun, the imperial court will definitely not spare Wang Zhongsheng.

Sure enough, Wang Zhongsheng's boat arrived in Tianjin, but before he disembarked, arresters from the imperial court swarmed onto the boat and arrested him on the spot.Poor Lao Wang had 3000 yuan in his pocket, but before he could spend any of it, he was dragged off the boat and had his head chopped off.

Revolution ah, insist on the death of the head.This statement is not false at all.

Ying Guixin has this kind of spicy and lively spoof style.After that, he will make a big fuss in the presidential palace, spread his spoof style to the whole era, lead the wave of the second revolution, and plunge China into endless conflicts and bloodshed.

Hearing that Wang Zhongsheng participated in the revolution, but was beheaded by the court in Tianjin, the representatives of the provinces couldn't help but gasp at the back of their necks and said, "Governor Chen, you are so rich. You can pay 3000 yuan when you make a move. Can you give it to me?" Are we reimbursed for travel expenses?

Chen Qimei cried and said: My money is also hard-earned.

(13) Indiscriminate imperialist interference
So where did Chen Qimei, the governor of Shanghai, get his money?
It is said that the Qing Empire, in order to stimulate economic development, open up and invigorate, specially established the Great Qing Bank in Shanghai. Song Hanzhang, who served as the president of the Imperial Bank during the Xinhai period, was called Song Hanzhang.When Shanghai was restored and Chen Qimei became the governor, the first thing he did was to notify Song Hanzhang to allocate funds immediately to support the revolutionary military government.

Song Hanzhang said: Is there a mistake?The shareholder of the bank is the imperial court, and you, Chen Qimei, have not changed your shareholding. We are not familiar with you, so how can I send money to you?

President Song dared to say that because the bank was opened in the concession and was protected by imperialism. Song Hanzhang was confident, and he was not afraid of the revolutionary party.

After Chen Qimei was rejected, she was quite angry, so she sent her brothers to keep a close eye on Song Hanzhang's whereabouts, and soon found that President Song and his friends were having dinner at Wanliutang. Suzhou Creek, went ashore from the water pavilion and sneaked into the Ten Thousand Willow Hall, suddenly shouted, and everyone rushed in.Song Hanzhang didn't notice, it was too late to run, he was pushed down by the crowd, he pinched his arms and legs, and carried him to the boat.

Song Hanzhang was imprisoned in Caojiadu, and the revolutionary party tortured him every day: Say, where is your bank card hidden?What is the password?Are you recruiting or not?Are you recruiting or not?Snapped!Clap clap!

After Song Hanzhang was arrested, his family cried and went to the consulates of various countries in Shanghai to petition, demanding imperialist intervention.

The imperialists say: Our favorite thing to do is to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.You said that we will not interfere in this rotten internal affairs, who else would interfere?So a large group of imperialists came to Wu Tingfang together and said: Mithatwu, you are going to the naval government to openly arrest people in our concession. This is a serious violation of international public law. We express our strongest protest!
Wu Tingfang said: coffeertea?What's the point of you protesting with me?I don't recognize them either.

The great powers said: Coffee, no companions.Haven't you been hired by them as a business representative?How can you say it has nothing to do with them?

Wu Tingfang said: China's affairs are not something you foreign devils can figure out.Simply put, just two words: complicated, super complicated.It's useless for you to protest to me anyway.

The great powers said: It’s fine if it’s useless, but you have to help out and get people out, right?Otherwise, Song Hanzhang's family would go to our consulate to sit in and demonstrate every day, and we have nothing to do.

Wu Tingfang said: Then I will try.

So Wu Tingfang contacted Chen Qimei and said: "Old Chen, you have made a big mess. The imperialists are not happy anymore, and they are interfering under the pretext of human rights. Please let him go."

Chen Qimei said: Let me make a statement. We strongly oppose the brutal interference of imperialist powers in my country's internal affairs. The history of Chinese people being oppressed and enslaved is gone forever!
Wu Tingfang said: But Old Chen, this matter is indeed your fault...

Chen Qimei: The Chinese people should not be insulted!
Wu Tingfang: Old Chen, no one insulted you...

Chen Qimei: If there is an insult, it is an insult.

Wu Tingfang said: "If you insult me, please insult me. Then, Old Chen, please make an offer."

Chen Qimei said: "Conditions... I can also see clearly that this old Song can't squeeze out money. If this is the case, I can release him, but he must stop sending money to the court and cut off the capital chain of Manqing."

Wu Tingfang said: "I agreed to this condition for him, and now I will send someone to fetch him out."

So Wu Tingfang sent someone to drive a car to Caojiadu, and Chen Qimei dragged Song Hanzhang out.Unexpectedly, when Song Hanzhang saw the car, he thought he was going to be shot, so he yelled a reactionary slogan: 20 years later, he will be a good man again, with a big scar on his head... I will do it, I will do it, I will do it all, please don’t shoot me ... No matter how many people came, they knocked him unconscious with one punch and dragged him back.

After returning, Song Hanzhang was very grateful to Wu Tingfang, and wrote a special book called "Wu Pingfang's Law", in which he made a lot of hype for Wu Tingfang, printed and published it at his own expense, and distributed it everywhere.When the book was published, it happened that the Bank of China in the Republic of China was recruiting a president. He took this book and said: I have research results.He actually became the president of the Bank of China based on this book.

This strange book is still sold in second-hand bookstores.

(14) Unheard of atrocities
In short, the situation in Shanghai is even more chaotic than in Wuchang, making the representatives of the provinces feel unspeakably depressed.

So the representatives of the provinces discussed with each other and said: How about we go to Nanjing?At any rate, Nanjing has a provisional government, and it must be more regulated than Wuchang and Shanghai.

Representatives from various provinces set off in a mighty delegation to investigate the Nanjing Provisional Government.

On the bus to Nanjing, there was Secretary Lin, who was in the provisional government to help draft documents. He and Qu Yingguang, the representative of the Zhejiang Army, sat next to each other.After arriving in Nanjing, some representatives got out of the car first, but they didn't see the guards who came to greet them, so they ignored them and walked forward first.

While walking, I suddenly heard a gunshot from behind, and hurriedly turned around, only to see the car crackling and smashing into a ball.The fighters included Chief Lin and Qu Yingguang, a representative of the Zhejiang Army. The two teamed up and violently beat a man they didn't know.

If you don't even know each other, why beat them?
It must be fought, because the opponent is an assassin.He suddenly jumped out from a nearby corner and shot Secretary Lin in the head. Secretary Lin was so desperate that he tilted his head, and the bullet grazed his forehead, causing it to burn and hurt.The assassin missed the first shot, so he fired a second shot in a calm manner, but behind the assassin was the warrior Qu Yingguang, how could he be so presumptuous?Immediately, he hugged the assassin from behind and hugged him.Secretary Lin took the opportunity to pick up his cane and hit the assassin's head with bang bang, the scene was chaotic.

At this moment, the guards finally appeared, jumped into the car, and couldn't help but smash Secretary Lin to the ground with the butt of a gun, and lost his cane somewhere.All the representatives exclaimed in unison: Wrong number, wrong number, he is the representative.The guard replied: That's right, the one who hit is the representative, I don't even bother to fight!They rushed forward, cut Secretary Lin's arms behind him, and dragged him away, while the assassin smiled and picked up his gun and left.

The delegates were frightened and furious, and they united to find the leader of the guards: Protest, protest, strongly protest, why should the delegates be arrested for no reason?

The head of the guard raised his eyes: Isn't the skin itchy?Call me again, believe it or not, and beat you to death?
Where there is oppression, there is submission.Seeing such a vicious little boss, all the representatives were immediately discouraged, and begged, "Then let us go in and see Secretary Lin, you beat him so badly."

The little leader said: You can go in and have a look, but you are not allowed to speak. Whoever dares to open his mouth will stay with him.

Now all the representatives didn't even dare to go in and look around, so they turned around and went to the Wanhua Building where the representatives of the provinces were staying. After entering the room, the representatives regained their courage and shouted in unison: In broad daylight, arrest the legal representatives and beat the provinces Speaker, this is an unprecedented atrocity. We must not let it go like this. We must jointly lodge a strong protest to Cheng Dequan, Governor of Jiangsu Province.

The reason why they protested to Cheng Dequan was that Jiangsu Province was responsible for the safety of the meeting.

So all the representatives jointly generated electricity and lodged a strong protest against Cheng Dequan.Cheng Dequan's reply came quickly, with only two words: seconded, and Cheng Dequan's name below.

What does seconded mean?The representatives were at a loss.

After thinking for a while, it suddenly dawned on me that the meaning of seconding is to support everyone.Cheng Dequan supports everyone to lodge a strong protest against him...It turns out that Cheng Dequan has no political views. No matter which province's representative proposes any motion, he will go to get him to second it. He seconded it and supported it. It has become a habit .This time everyone was protesting to him, but he didn't even look at it, and immediately expressed support.

Cheng Dequan's move made everyone want to cry.Just when there was nothing to do, a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed into the Wanhua Building with a murderous look, found Secretary Lin's luggage, opened it and rummaged through it.All of a sudden, the soldiers found a small paper bag containing white powder. The soldiers were overjoyed and said to the representatives: "Come and see, come and see. This person is carrying poison. It is clearly a conspiracy. Now we To bring these poisons back as physical evidence, you are representatives of all provinces, and you must sign and pledge to testify.

Representatives from various provinces lined up, looked down, and said: Wrong, this is not poison, it is quinine cream.

The soldier said: Nonsense, it is poison.

Representatives of various provinces: It’s really not poison.

Soldier: You say it's not poison, so each of you take a few bites.

Representatives of various provinces: ...we are not sick, so why eat this food?
Soldier: Yes, you dare not eat it, it is poison!
Representatives of various provinces: ...I can't tell you clearly, you are uneducated, it's terrible...

The next morning, Cheng Dequan finally came, and all the representatives rushed forward: Protest, protest, strongly protest...Old Cheng, tell us what is going on, who sent the assassin, and why did he assassinate Secretary Lin? long?Also, how are things going now?

Cheng Dequan said with a smile: After we tortured Secretary-General Lin overnight and extorted a confession by torture, Secretary-General Lin has already been recruited. The assassin was sent by Sun Daoren, the governor of Fujian.

Representatives: ...Old Cheng, this is not right, you should torture the assassin to extract a confession, why did you use torture on Secretary-General Lin?

Cheng Dequan said: "You guys are stupid, I'm not stupid, the assassin is going to kill people, if you dare to torture him to extract a confession, how can his accomplices spare you?"So the assassin was released on the spot, and we couldn't afford to offend him. We only dared to torture Secretary Lin.

Representatives: ...Old Cheng, with your actions...then how can Secretary Lin give up?

Cheng Dequandao: That's right, so Secretary Lin cried and protested strongly to me. Now that he has resigned, any of you will help me persuade him not to care about gains and losses, and focus on the revolutionary cause, take the overall situation into consideration, and bear the burden of humiliation , Come back quickly and continue working.

Delegates: ... We cannot persuade you about this matter, so you should do it.

That Secretary Lin, who was so angry because of this matter, never interfered with the revolution again, it was too troublesome.

From this point of view, this Nanjing... seems a bit weird.

(15) Mutiny in nonsensical style

The representatives of the various provinces are feeling the strange atmosphere in Nanjing, and everyone can't tell what's wrong. Anyway, they always feel uncomfortable when they stay there.

What went wrong?

Just as they were startled, they suddenly heard gunshots from all around them. Without any hesitation, all the representatives ran back to their room, quickly closed the curtains, and then hid behind the curtains to look out secretly.

On the street outside, gangs of soldiers shouted, and while shooting, they surrounded a small building. A few people hid in the small building. From time to time, they showed their heads through the window, and shot back at the soldiers outside with short guns. .Looking closely at the leader upstairs, it turned out to be Zhu Rui, the detachment leader of the Zhejiang Army.Looking at the soldiers who attacked Xiaodulou, they were all soldiers of the Zhejiang Army.

It turned out that there was a mutiny.

The mutiny is good, and the mutiny is exciting to watch.

The Zhejiang army led by Zhu Rui is indescribably depressing.When this army attacked Nanjing, they couldn't find Tianbao City, the target to attack. When they entered Nanjing City, they blew up the battalion and fled like crazy on Xiaolingwei Avenue. Captured Zhu Rui and attacked the coalition command post.This time they brought their nonsensical combat style to the extreme, even attacking Commander Zhu Rui.Attack, just attack, what can Zhu Rui do?Can only fight back.

The two sides fought for a while, and Zhu Rui shouted: "Brothers, don't shoot now, tell me what's going on, okay?"No matter what grievances you have, I, Zhu Rui, will definitely speak for you, lying is a puppy!

The soldiers continued to shoot and shouted slogans: Down with imported goods, freedom belongs to the Zhejiang army!
Zhu Rui shouted loudly: First of all, in the name of the head of the Zhejiang Army, I would like to express my opinion that I firmly support your decision to overthrow imported products.All imported ones are useless and should be defeated... But I just want to ask my brothers one thing, can you tell me what is an imported product?

After further questioning, it turned out that although the Zhe army led by Zhu Rui was small in number, its combat effectiveness was unbearable, and there were countless gangs in one team, which were innumerable.There are two major factions among them, one is the faction of students studying in Japan, known as the imported faction, because they are full of mouths to beat Xiwa, kill demons and take spicy food, and are ridiculed by brothers in the army as imported goods.The other faction is the Tubie faction, that is, native-born soldiers and commanders. Because these people have never been to school or studied military affairs, they hate others to speak military terms.However, the foreign students studying in Japan like to talk about the military the most. Over time, the conflict between the two sides intensified.

Theoretically speaking, the conflict between the Imported Products faction and the Turtle faction has intensified, and the two sides should start a gun battle. Anyone who thinks this way will be a fool.Just imagine, if the Turtle School wants to kill the Imported School, or if the Imported School wants to kill the Turtle School, would it be an easy matter?Someone on the other side has a gun, if you dare to hit him, you may be killed by Fang instead.

There are different teachings, persimmons must be picked and eaten, and mutiny must come from the side.The two factions of the Zhejiang Army both want to make trouble, and they are afraid of the strength of the other side and dare not make a move. So who do you turn to for this tone in your heart?
I can only find Zhu Rui!
This is impossible.

After figuring out what was going on, Zhu Rui almost cried, and said: Brothers, brothers, why don't I call you daddy, daddy, let's be more rational, shall we?How old are you, and you still mess around like this?

All the soldiers refused to give up and shouted in unison: "It's okay if you don't fight, then you must pay us double wages."

Zhu Rui: Okay, double salary, I will report to Shanghai right now...

Soldiers: Don't report, double pay now.

Zhu Rui: Brothers, aren't you embarrassing me?If you don't report, where can I get the money to give you double salaries?
Just as the commotion was raging, a horse galloped across the soldiers' cordon. When it reached the small building, everyone immediately jumped down with a letter in their hands, ran to the small building, and handed the letter to Zhu Rui. .The soldiers stopped firing at this point, and craned their necks, wondering what the letter contained.

After reading the letter, Zhu Rui happily announced to everyone: Brothers, good news, this letter in my hand was written by Mr. Zhang Taiyan, the leader of the Restoration Society.Speaking of which, our recovery will be very miserable. Wu Yue, Xu Xilin, and Qiu Jin died for the country one after another. Finally, the revolution was almost successful, but the leader Tao Chengzhang was killed by someone, and Li Xiehe was also chased away by a mysterious killer. We have to flee to Nanyang, we are almost becoming motherless children, brothers, but now we are all right, our leader Mr. Zhang Taiyan is here...

All the soldiers let out a carnival, Zhejiang is the territory of the Restoration Society, and the Zhejiang Army's feelings for the Restoration Society are also extremely sincere.At that moment, all the soldiers put down their guns and asked loudly: Captain Zhu, what did Mr. Zhang say in his letter?
Zhu Ruidao: Mr. Zhang Taiyan said in this letter that someone manipulated behind the scenes to elect Huang Xing and Huang Keqiang as the deputy marshal of the interim government. This is pure nonsense.What is Huang Xing capable of?When he was in Guangxi, he was beaten by Guo Renzhang until he cried.When I was in Guangdong, I was beaten to the point of crying by Li Zhun.When he arrived in Wuchang, he was beaten again by Feng Guozhang until he cried.The emotional person cried when he saw who was beaten by someone.It's funny that such a defeated general was elected as the deputy marshal. Don't you want to follow Huang Xing and learn how to be beaten until you cry?

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army raised their arms and shouted slogans: respond to Zhang Taiyan's call, oppose Huang Xing and Huang Keqiang, and support Fatty Li!
It turned out that Zhang Taiyan had come to solicit votes for Li Yuanhong in Wuchang.But this person is known as crazy, and he actually chose Huang Xing as his opponent. This time, he was out of embarrassment.

(16) Someone is going to kill you

It is said that Huang Xing was elected as the Grand Marshal for the first time, and then was re-elected as the Deputy Marshal, so he packed his luggage, shoes and socks, and prepared to take office in the Nanjing Provisional Government.Before leaving, I went to see Zhang Jian first, and entrusted Zhang Jian to borrow 30 yuan from Mitsui Matheson, Japan, for the military and administrative expenses of the Nanjing government.But the night before the departure, Huang Xing suddenly changed his mind and did not go to Nanjing to take up his post.

why?Is it because Zhang Taiyan instigated the Zhejiang army to oppose him?

No, Huang Xing didn't have a strong feeling for Zhang Taiyan, let alone the opposition from the Zhe Army.

What he feels is another matter:
