The true biography of Yaqiao, the first chivalrous king of the Republic of China

Chapter 16

Ever since the Hefei Military Government Branch was "exposed too quickly" and fled to Shanghai, Wang Yaqiao has been longing to have his own armed forces, his own territory, and flourish in Kyushu.However, after more than ten years of bloody storms, his life bills are all "losses" without exception:
In March 1912, he, Li Dazhao and others successively joined the Socialist Party of China led by Jiang Kanghu. Li Dazhao served as the general affairs officer of the Tianjin branch, and Wang Yaqiao served as the head of the Anhui branch of the Socialist Party.He set up the Anhui Socialist Party Headquarters in the Xia Family Ancestral Hall in Feidongcuo Town, and held high the banners of "eliminating the strong and suppressing violence, eradicating the rich and helping the poor", "improving the law, respecting individuals", and "abolishing the hereditary inheritance system".Xu Xiyong, Tang Youwen, Hong Yaodou, Zheng Yi'an from Hefei, Liu Dakui from Quanjiao, Jiang Feiwo from Huaining, Ding Heling from Chaohu, Yangliuti from Wuhu, etc., joined in one after another, and various organizations were established one after another.As Hong Yaodou said in the article "Wang Yaqiao I Know": "Because he is good at speeches and has stronger organizational skills, the people who joined the party in the county branches rushed to join first. He often wears a ragged suit, holds a free stick, and leaves a stick in his mouth. He has a mustache and looks like a Japanese. He travels around the counties to promote party righteousness, lies on straw, and eats leftovers. He lives in the world. He is very sincere and works with the masses all day long. Therefore, the Socialist Party is extremely developed in Anhui.” In one year, it has 3 to [-] party members, becoming a new political force rising in the Jianghuai land.

In July 1913, Ni Sichong, a Beiyang warlord, was ordered to go south and defeated Bai Wenwei, the governor of Anhui, and was appointed by Yuan Shikai as the governor and civil affairs chief of Anhui.Ni Sichong was rude, savage, cruel and extravagant, "Known as the harsh martial arts", nicknamed "Ni Dapao".After taking office, he announced that the Socialist Party was a "rebellious party" and killed the Anhui branch of the Socialist Party. He sent brigade commander Xia Xutang (nicknamed Xia Laoxiao) to lead the troops to bloody the town headquarters. Ding Heling and other key members were killed. , went into exile in Shanghai again.Although Xia Xutang is strong in martial arts, there are three or four people who are not his opponents, but he has wicked eyebrows and mischievous eyes, and he has a bad stomach.Seeing that Wang Yaqiao could not be caught, in order to please Ni Sichong, he led his men to Wang Xiaoyingzi and dug up Wang Yaqiao's ancestral grave, saying that he wanted to break the party's feng shui.

In the autumn of 1914, in Shanghai, Wang Yaqiao, Gao Zhenxiao, Chen Qun, He Tianfeng, An Changhao, Li Huaicheng and others participated in the "Anarchism" research group led by Professor Jing Meijiu. "Anarchism" is anarchism, and its founders were Bakunin and Kropotkin in Russia.They openly oppose all domination and authority including the government, advocate self-help relationships between individuals, and focus on individual freedom and equality; their political appeal is to eliminate the government and any dictatorial relationship in society or economy.The social "anarchy" they advocate does not mean that the government is not needed, and the society is allowed to fall into chaos, nihilism, or moral depravity, but a harmonious society in which free individuals voluntarily unite, help each other, self-govern, and oppose authoritarianism.At that time, anarchist theory was popular all over the world, and the representative figures of Chinese anarchism included Jiang Kanghu, Dai Jitao, Zhang Jingjiang, Liu Shifu and the famous writer Ba Jin. In August 1945, Mao Zedong flew to Chongqing to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek. During this period, he also met with some cultural figures.The first time Mao Zedong met the bookish Ba Jin, he said, "Strange, others say you are an anarchist." Ba Jin replied, "Yes, I heard that you used to be." It can be seen that anarchism has a great influence.

Jingmeijiu (1882-1959), named Dingcheng, pen name Laomei, and another person who killed slaves.Born in Yuncheng, Shanxi.The famous master of Chinese studies in the early Republic of China, together with Zhang Taiyan in the south, is called "South Zhang Beijing". In 1902, he was sent to Japan by the Qing government and was admitted to Tokyo Imperial University; in 1904, he co-organized the "Baihua Daily" with Qiu Jin, advocating democracy and republic; In 1911, he founded Guoguang Xinbao in Beijing, publicly criticizing the dictatorial policies of Yuan Shikai's government.Yuan Shikai scratched his head very much, so he sent Zhang Zhonghua, the deputy director of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, to quietly send him a check for 10 yuan.The newspaper has been in arrears for manuscript remuneration and printing fees for many days, and this huge sum of money is really timely.But Jing Meijiu threw the check in Zhang Zhonghua's face and scolded: "My dignity is more than this money?"Yang Du and Jing Meijiu have been friends for many years. He deliberately said: "Killing Jingmeijiu at this time will fulfill his martyr's name and tarnish your first name. It's better to let him fend for himself!" In 1916, Yuan Shikai changed his name to proclaim oneself emperor.Jing Meijiu immediately published the "Call to Yuan Shikai", which was praised as "the first text in the call to Yuan Shikai".

Later, he changed his "style of play".

Jing Meijiu and Yan Xishan are from the same hometown, and they are both veterans of the League, but he can't understand the arbitrary behavior of "Yan Laoxi".In his study, he hung a pair of self-written couplets: "Don't return to the sea with hundreds of rivers; only then do you know that weak waters are strong currents." Yan Xishan, whose word is Baichuan; Ruoshui is a small river in Shaanxi.This couplet vividly expresses his determination not to serve as an official under Yan Xishan.In the "Guofeng Daily" in Xi'an, he often published articles criticizing Yan Xishan.Shaanxi is not Shanxi. Yan Xishan felt helpless and sent his cronies to send him 1000 Yuan as "hush money".Jing Meijiu accepted all the orders with a smile, and wrote a reply letter to Yan Xishan, sealed it and handed it to the visitor.Yan Xishan opened the reply quite proudly:

Receipts will be accepted. "Contributors" should be rewarded.In the past, I did my duty in vain, so I was a bit slow at work; in the future, I have money to sell wine, so I should take advantage of the time to write and "respect" me even more.Never renege on your promise.

After seeing it, Yan Xishan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

Wang Yaqiao accepted the theory of anarchism in the painful groping.

However, Wang Yaqiao is different from Jing Meijiu and others. He not only talks about theory, but also pays more attention to practice. On March 1913, 3, at Shanghai Railway Station, Yuan Shikai sent assassins to shoot and kill Song Jiaoren.Sun Yat-sen rushed back to Shanghai from Japan, thinking that "we must go to Yuan", and strongly advocated sending troops to challenge Yuan, so he launched the "Second Revolution", but it failed soon.Yuan Shikai's power is strong, and signs of restoration are increasingly revealed.Wang Yaqiao is determined to treat his own body with his own way.He, Yu Yanong, Tang Youwen, Zheng Yi'an and others formed an assassination team, preparing to follow Wu Yue's example and carry out a "beheading operation" against Yuan Shikai. In August 20, recommended by Bai Wenwei, together with Chang Hengfang and Wang Leping, he went to No. 1915 Huanlong Road (now No. 8 Nanchang Road) in the French Concession of Shanghai, and visited Sun Yat-sen in the office of the headquarters of the Chinese Revolutionary Party. , listened to the teachings, and then joined the Chinese Revolutionary Party and became a loyal believer of Sun Yat-sen.Later, when Sun Yat-sen went out to participate in mass activities many times, he always asked Wang Yaqiao to be responsible for the security work.Chen Qimei liked Wang Yaqiao's character of daring to do what he said, and he often exchanged cups with him, talking about the past and the present, and told him: "Our revolutionary party used to use assassination methods to deal with the enemy, and we should also prevent them from using assassination methods. Come and hurt Mr. Zhongshan."

On June 1916, 6, Yuan Shikai died. Vice President Li Yuanhong succeeded him according to law.

In the autumn of the same year, Wang Yaqiao prepared to go to Beijing to seek an opportunity to assassinate Duan Qirui, the new head of the Beiyang warlords, "to eliminate the thieves and save the peril."Together with Yu Yanong, he rented a house in Wendeli, Luban Road (now Chongqing South Road) in Shanghai, bought sulfur, saltpeter and carbon, and secretly developed bombs.One day, Wang Yaqiao went out to buy equipment, while Yu Yanong was at home alone, and developed black powder according to the formula. Due to improper operation, the black powder suddenly exploded, his face was disfigured, and his arms and thighs were injured in many places.The patrol room in the French Concession received the report and quickly dispatched Yu Yanong, who was dying, to the hospital.Later, in court, Yu Yanong insisted that he developed explosives to make a living by frying fish in the Huangpu River. The judge did not find out that he had other intentions, so he was only detained for three months, and the assassination plan was aborted.

On January 1922, 1, the Far East Working People's Congress opened in Moscow.There were 21 official representatives of the Chinese delegation attending the conference, including 39 workers' representatives.Representatives of the Communist Party of China included Zhang Guotao, Qu Qiubai, Gao Junyu, Wang Jinmei, Deng Enming, etc. Wang Leping (pseudonym Wang Juyi), Zhang Qiubai and others attended the meeting on behalf of the Chinese Kuomintang.During this period, Lenin received Zhang Guotao, Wang Jinmei, Deng Enming, Zhang Qiubai and Deng Pei while sick.It is reported that when the Kuomintang was discussing candidates for representatives, Wang Yaqiao was included as a worker representative. Later, in order to go to the Soviet Union, Zhang Qiubai deliberately spread such remarks as Wang Yaqiao's boldness, ruthlessness, and unruly life style. Wang Yaqiao lost another chance in life.From then on, Wang Yaqiao and Zhang Qiubai formed a "liangzi". At a fellow villagers' gathering, he pointed at Zhang Qiubai's nose and cursed loudly: "You son of a bitch! From now on, please be sure to keep a distance of one mile from me. Let me bump into you, otherwise, my fist will not recognize you, a stinky fellow!"

In February 1925, after the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, Wang Yaqiao and Bai Wenwei, together with Zheng Yian, Hong Dongyi, Guo Jisheng and other backbones, went to Kaifeng to visit Henan Governor Hu Jingyi to seek development space.Hu Jingyi was smart and eager to learn since he was a child, with great ambitions, a 2-meter tall man, and a dignified appearance. The famous scholar Zhang Taiyan praised him: "Lisheng is a rare genius in this world." The proposition of the meeting stated: "The heart is like the light of the sun and the moon, illuminating everything; virtue is as big as the sky and the earth, and it can never be repeated. In the future, it will be the dragon and the cloud, and the rain will rain on the common people. It is my ambition to save the common people!" Hu Jingyi It was late to meet Bai Wenwei and Wang Yaqiao, and invited Bai Wenwei to be the principal of the Henan Military Academy, and appointed Wang Yaqiao as the commander of the Henan Mixed Brigade.Holding the military power again, Wang Yaqiao was full of ambition, and immediately began to contact old friends, hoping to make a comeback.

However, the sky is unpredictable. On March 1925, 3, the sad news of Sun Yat-sen's death came. General Hu Jingyi was distraught and cried to death. He was hit hard physically and mentally. The boil on his right arm recurred and his condition deteriorated sharply; Only 12 years old.Yue Weijun succeeded as the commander of the Second Army of the National Army and the supervisor of Henan. Bai Wenwei, Wang Yaqiao and others were squeezed out, and they left Henan one after another and returned to Shanghai.

For Wang Yaqiao, serving as the Deputy Propaganda Envoy of Anhui this time can be said to be a lifeline from a desperate situation.So, he went to the east of Anhui without stopping...
