The Republic is so violent

Chapter 105
01 scary gift
It is said that the people in the three towns of Wuhan have the most violent tempers.The success of the [-] Revolution in Wuchang was not without a reason, which is inseparable from the violent temper of the people of Wuhan.Tracing back to the cause of the violent temper of the people in Wuhan, we must mention the Sichuan Road Protection Movement.Because the Sichuan Railway was privately run, major shareholders fled with money at every turn, causing stockholders to hang themselves and throw themselves into the river, and they went to Beijing to petition in an endless stream, begging the court to take care of it.The imperial court was really careless, and it just intervened to announce the nationalization of Sichuan road rights, which finally angered the constitutionalists and major shareholders, so they secretly united with the revolutionaries and instigated the Sichuan civil uprising.It's just a pity that Zhao Erfeng, governor of Sichuan, was forced to break into the government office by the militia and cut off his head.

Zhao Erfeng was wronged in vain, he was murdered by the major shareholders of the constitutionalist faction and party members, and he was charged with a lot of blame after his death.This made the guards around Zhao Erfeng very sad and indignant, so when the military government showed Zhao Erfeng's head to the public, the assassins rushed in and attacked the soldiers who put their heads on display, which was regarded as avenging Zhao Erfeng.

When Zhao Erfeng died, Duan Fang, a capable minister of the Qing Empire, was leading a team from Wuchang to help. When they heard about this, the Sichuan Party members were terrified.We all know how powerful Duan Fang is, if gravity hits Sichuan violently, I'm afraid that the party members will not escape catastrophe.At this time, the party member Wu Yuzhang stood up and said: It doesn't matter, the party members in Wuchang have been plotting to cause trouble for a long time. There must be a revolutionary party in the team that came. Let me look for it and see if I can get in touch.

So Wu Yuzhang rode his horse and rushed to Neijiang, just as Duan Fang's team was swaying forward, Wu Yuzhang hid on the side of the road, pretending to be passing pedestrians, and staring at the soldiers in the team, suddenly he yelled: "Big Brother, Big Brother, I can't help you!" Got you.He rushed forward and hugged a soldier.

That soldier was none other than the party member Tian Zhiliang lurking in the ranks.

At present, Tian Zhiliang quietly told Wu Yuzhang that he had already contacted the party members in Sichuan. Once the team arrived in Zizhou, he would immediately rise up and kill the two brothers Duanfang to make a revolution.

Wu Yuzhang was overjoyed and returned to Neijiang to continue the revolution.And when this Hubei army marched to Zizhou, it exploded, surrounded the two brothers Duanfang, and was about to shoot.

After all, Duanfang is a capable minister for the rest of his life. Facing the gun, he was extremely calm and asked: Do you want revolution?It's really great, we thought of going together, Duanfang thinks about revolution every day when I have nothing to do, from now on we will do it together!
The party members scolded angrily: Duanfang, don't come here to fool around, you are a bannerman, and we are Han people.This revolution is to kill all of you banner people. Where did you get the qualifications for revolution?
Duan Fang laughed loudly: It's bad, it's bad, you are very bad.Although my name is Duanfang, it sounds like I am a bannerman, but I am not. I will tell you secretly that our family has been Han Chinese for generations. It was only in my grandfather’s generation that I was forced to join the banner.Counting today, it is less than four generations, so I am still a Han Chinese, and of course I am qualified to join the revolution with you and kill the bannermen together.

The party members smirked and said: Duan Fang, if you want to participate in the revolution, you can, but well, don’t you think your head is more valuable than your life?
Duan Fang froze for a moment: Brothers, don't be so fierce... Bang bang bang, the party members have already fired.

Why were the partisans in such a hurry to shoot?

You'll know right away!
It is said that Li Yuanhong, the governor of the Wuchang military government, since he took office, has been sending telegrams to the provincial council bureaus and the revolutionary parties, fooling everyone to become independent quickly, and he is so busy every day.He was busy that day when suddenly a few party members came in, holding an exquisite western oil box in their hands, and said: "Report to the governor, great news, Sichuan has declared independence, and sent it to the governor." A generous gift.

Li Yuanhong was overjoyed: It's good to be independent, and gifts can be waived.

Those party members persuaded: Governor, you should check the gift first, and then pass it on to the elders in Wuchang, so that everyone can know the good news.

Makes sense.Li Yuanhong nodded: Then let me see what this gift is.

Walking over, he stretched out his hand to open the western oil box, and then he heard Li Yuanhong scream, and fell to the ground.

02 Two heads travel thousands of miles

What was that gift that frightened a fat boy, Li Yuanhong, into such a state?
If you talk about it in detail, it would be terrible.What Li Yuanhong saw turned out to be the head of Duan Fang, a capable minister of the empire. After being cut off, it was placed squarely in the box.The most frightening thing was that Duanfang still had a smile on his face, a kind of extremely weird and lifelike scary and strange smile.

How can a severed head still laugh?And it's such a terrible grin?

It turned out that the party members were extremely bored, and prepared a mysterious potion to soak the dead man's head in it. No matter how long it takes, the dead man's face will not change, just like when he was alive.So in Zizhou, Sichuan, the party members thought about trying the heads of the Duanfang brothers to see if the potion would work.Facts have proved that the potion prepared by the party members is very effective, at least it scared the fat boy Li Yuanhong half to death.

But why are these partisans frightening poor Fat Boy?

This is because these party members not only hated Duanfang extremely, but also hated the fat boy Li Yuanhong extremely.The reason why they are passionate about revolution is that they want to use revolution to get rid of these two people who they hate.Duan Fang's life was miserable, and he fell into the hands of these evil stars, but the fat boy Li Yuanhong had already served as the governor of the Hubei Revolutionary Military Government, and he was still the leader of the party members. Out of the chest of bad breath.

At that time, the party members looked at Li Yuanhong with a smile: What's the matter, the governor, why don't you speak?

Li Yuanhong got up resentfully, and said, "Send these two heads to Shanghai for me."

Why send it to Shanghai?
Because Nanjing is the domain of Chen Qimei, the revolutionary party, and the revolutionary party he led actually produced such two terrifying heads, so Li Yuanhong thought that it was necessary for Chen Qimei to appreciate her masterpiece.

So those party members came out, held up Duan Fang's head, and shouted: The governor has an order to show the head of the villain Duan Fang to the public, come and see... All of a sudden, all the people on the street crowded over. There are three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded by water, and everyone is vying to see it.There are also those who can read and write, and they are excited when they see it, and they can't help but feel a great deal of poetry, saying: "The hero of the whole life, how is he now?"
After the people of Wuchang saw it, the party members sent the two heads to Shanghai.Chen Qimei was overjoyed, this fellow is a horror tycoon who likes blood the most, and has always advocated violence and assassination, and the two heads he sent were just what he wanted.He immediately ordered the two heads to be sent to the Shanghai Museum and charged a high ticket price, taking advantage of this opportunity to earn a lot of money.

Before long, the people of Shanghai got tired of watching these two heads, the audience became less and less, and the income became more and more insufficient to pay.At this time, Chen Qimei didn't know how to think about it, but actually sent the two heads to Sun Wen in Nanjing.Sun Wen didn't even get a receipt, and he didn't know what to do with the two heads.

These two heads are only the prelude to a series of revolutions in Wuchang.Looking at the bad temper of these partisans, you can see that the big fat boy is sitting on the crater of a volcano that is about to erupt. It is just a revolution, which is far from satisfying everyone's appetite.The Holy Land of the Great Wuhan Revolution will continue to erupt new revolutions in the future.

03 Fat Boy Has Taste

It is said that as early as the beginning of the Wuchang Uprising, the party members have been fighting endlessly. The Common Development Association, which is mainly composed of overseas students, and the Literary Society, which is mainly composed of Jianghu heroes, despise and look down on each other.Later, a bomb exploded in the old home of the Gongjinhui, and the old home of the Literary Society was taken down by spies. Everyone's attention was diverted to the death and escape of the people with lofty ideals, and they ignored it.

But when Xiong Bingkun and others fired a gunshot, Wuchang was completely turned into a pot of porridge. The party members came out of their hiding places, chasing and killing the bannermen, and then the fat boy Li Yuanhong came out of the mountain to gather party members to fight Beiyang Feng Guozhang. At this time, the struggle between the two sides appeared again.

After careful study, the split of the Wuchang revolutionary camp had something to do with Sun Wen.As early as when Sun Wu, the leader of the First Uprising, went to Shanghai to seek the post of Army Deputy Chief, Sun Wen should have arranged several positions for these brothers in the Wuchang Military Government, but Sun Wen did not, and held the fruits of the revolutionary victory in his arms and did not let go.As a result, Wuchang didn't get the fruits of victory, and the revolution came to nothing in the end. It is inevitable that they will be aggrieved and want to carry out a second revolution.

In the second revolution in Wuchang, the blade pointed directly at Sun Tzu, the leader of the righteous.

Why do you want to get rid of Sun Wu?
This is because since Wuchang became a holy place of revolution, Li Yuanhong presided over military affairs. Sun Wu felt that Li Yuanhong was a big fat guy with good taste, so he tended to support Li Yuanhong.However, Jiang Lingwu, the leader of the literary club, thought that Li Yuanhong was too fat to be as emotional as Huang Xing, so he publicly expressed his support for Huang Xing.

In this way, the Wuchang revolutionary camp split into two new groups:

The Li-Sun faction—composed of Sun Wu and others who supported the fat boy Li Yuanhong, and supported the Wuchang government.

The Huang-Jiang faction—composed of Jiang Lingwu and others who supported Huang Xing, supported the Nanjing government.

The Huang-Jiang faction also includes an important member: Zhang Zhenwu, a former member of the Communist Party of China.Although Sun Wu and Zhang Zhenwu are both members of the Gongjin Association, because Zhang Zhenwu is from Luotian, Hubei, and his speech is vulgar and barbaric, Sun Wu listens awkwardly, and always thinks that Zhang Zhenwu is just a high-level teacher with no education. This kind of disgust will inevitably trigger Zhang Zhenwu. Dissatisfaction eventually led to Zhang Zhenwu from the Gongjin Association and Jiang Lingwu from the Literature Society to come together, and everyone joined forces to engage Sun Wu.

But how did Sun Wu know that someone was going to mess with him?At the meeting, Sun Jiaxu, the consultant, spoke first. He said: Sun Wen has a big mouth, he is talking nonsense every day, and there is nothing he dare not say. He said he brought tens of millions of dollars from the United States, and he said he came from The United States brought back hundreds of warships and tricked the representatives of the provinces to vote for him as the president. Now that he is the president, how about tens of millions of dollars?What about a hundred warships?Where?Where?There are no U.S. dollars, and there are no warships, all of which are deceitful.But what is Sun Wen doing now?He kept writing letters to foreigners, promising the interests of foreigners in China. This is traitorous, traitorous...

With a slap, Sun Wu jumped up against the case and said loudly: "It's outrageous, this Sun Wen is really outrageous!The Nanjing government is so corrupt, I would rather recognize Yuan Shikai than Nanjing!

Yang Shijie and Zha Guangfo, members of the Tongmenghui who were present at the meeting, jumped out and quarreled with Sun Wu: Sun Wu, what did you say?You actually said that you don’t recognize the Nanjing government. Don’t forget that your Gongjin Association is also a member of the Tongmenghui. Sun Wen is our leader. You dare to argue with the leader. Is this... is this plausible?
There was internal strife in the Tongmenghui, and the fat boy Li Yuanhong was overjoyed, and hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Everyone, don't quarrel, um, don't quarrel, you must be harmonious, you must be stable, and stability overrides everything...

The party member Sun Wu openly opposed Sun Wen of the League, which aroused the anger of the party members, and a group of heroes rose up in the world, vowing to kill Sun Wu and then quickly.

04 This life is not right
But it is said that No. 30, No. [-], the eighth town of the New Army in Wuchang, has a big soldier named Xiang Haiqian. Suddenly one day, he had a sudden whim and established a group of heroes from the rivers and lakes, vowing to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.Before the Wuchang Uprising, Qunyinghui had the closest relationship with Jiang Lingwu of the literary club, so they asked the whole group to join the literary club.However, this literary society did not accept the Jianghu Society party, and the Qunyinghui had no way to revolutionize, so it found Sun Tzu's door in the Gongjinhui, begging for revolution.

Sun Wu took over the Qunyinghui, and since then, the Qunyinghui has had a leader.

The founder of the Heroes Club, Xiang Haiqian, has the best relationship with fellow villager Huang Shenxiang.But that Huang Shenxiang is proud of his talent, his eyes are above the top.After the success of the revolution, he was appointed as the commander of the imperial guards, but he found that those with a higher official position were not as good as him, and those with a higher level have not yet been found.Huang Shenxiang was depressed, so he went to the old leader Sun Wu to reason.

At that time, Sun Wu patted Huang Shenxiang on the shoulder and said: "Little devil, the official of Xietong is not young anymore, work hard, and don't let down the organization's expectations of you."

Sun Wu's attitude was nothing less than a great humiliation to Huang Shenxiang.He went out angrily and said: Sun Wu is so arrogant, I must beat him.

How to beat it?
It's easy, find the leader of the Qunying Club and dive into the sea, and let's do it together.

At this time, the members of the Heroes' Association are extremely complicated, most of them are members of Jiang Lingwu's literary club, plus the No.30 No. [-] Standard Teaching Group who just returned from Sichuan - this is the team sent by the imperial court to suppress Sichuan Halfway through the road protection movement, the Wuchang Shouyi broke out, so they killed Duan Fang, the leader of the team, soaked Duan Fang's head in potion, and scared the poor fat boy Li Yuanhong to death. Wounded soldiers spontaneously organize the blood meeting, the generals and school regiment composed of veterans, and the volunteer regiment composed of soldiers.All of these people have one thing in common:
If you don't have the right of abode, you should be depressed.

It means that although the revolution was successful, everyone got nothing. Obviously, this fate was wrong and had to be reformed again.

The group of heroes held a secret meeting, discussing to kill Sun Wu, and sincerely invited Cai Hanqing, Sun Wu's confidant, to participate.At that time, Cai Hanqing felt awkward, Sun Wu was his close buddy, and he couldn't just watch him being killed.But those who want to kill Sun Wu are also his own iron buddies, and they can't stop them from killing Sun Wu.

What should I do?

Have!Cai Hanqing came up with a good idea and found an excuse to fool Sun Wu into traveling in Hankou.Sun Wu didn't know, so he went excitedly.

Qunyinghui didn't know that Sun Wu had left, and still proceeded as planned. On February 1912, 2, thousands of people from the school regiment, the volunteer regiment, and Bixue gathered to revolt, wearing the badge of the Heroes Association, with Huang Shenxiang as the commander-in-chief, a shot was fired, and everyone shouted in unison, and shot to the revolutionary hero Sun Tzu home.

To be honest, the military operation in Wuchang is far larger than the last Wuchang uprising.Last time, Xiong Bingkun, who fired the first shot of the revolution, took a lot of effort to gather dozens of people, but this time, thousands of people were dispatched, and as soon as the gunshot rang, it was like setting off firecrackers in the entire Wuchang City, and firecrackers were heard in all directions. Fierce gunshots rang out, and countless big-headed soldiers rushed to the street with their guns, shooting and killing them.

After the response, Wuchang fell into chaos again, because after the revolution was successful, there were too few people who could be appointed officials, and too many people participated in the revolution. Most of them lost their lives for a long time, but got nothing.So for them, this life is completely necessary to continue the revolution.

Although Qunyinghui declared before the uprising: This action is intended to wipe out civilian thieves and improve politics, and only Sun Wu will be punished.However, the rebellious soldiers swarmed in, their actions were chaotic, they killed wantonly, there was no order, and the military and political institutions were completely destroyed.

Among them, the most unlucky one was Zhang Tingfu, the revolutionary father. His home was the old nest of the literature club. The organization was uncovered by the secret agents of the Qing court, and Zhang Tingfu's wife was imprisoned.After suffering all kinds of hardships and suffering all kinds of crimes, the day of the victory of the revolution finally ushered in.But I never thought that another wave of revolutionary winds would sweep in, and bullets would shoot at the revolutionary couple like splashing water.

Zhang Tingfu was shot dead on the spot, and his wife was seriously injured.

If history had given this venerable lady a chance to speak to the camera, she would have said:
Is there a mistake?The Qing court, which we want to revolutionize, did not kill me, but I was killed by the revolution. This is really depressing!
The chaos of the Qunyinghui once again plunged Wuchang into a precarious situation. Sun Wu threatened to revive the revolutionary army and fight back to Wuchang, but was dissuaded by Li Yuanhong.In the end, Sun Tzu had no choice but to publish an advertisement in the newspaper, saying that he would "travel abroad" and never come to Wuchang again. Only then did the Qunyinghui stop the riot.

But Sun Tzu would not give up on this matter. He accumulated his strength and was ready to strike again.And Zhang Zhenwu, who is also a hero of the revolution, will become the next victim on the altar of revolution.

05 polite soldiers
Thousands of people rioted here in Wuchang, and it was vigorous.The Beiyang soldiers in Beijing also had a lively game that day.Soldiers also swarmed into the streets, shooting people when they caught them, and looting money and things when they saw them, causing panic among the people and unrest in the whole town.

Speaking of the chaos in Beijing, it is still an unsolved case.The cause of the incident was that Sun Wen sent an envoy to Beijing to take Yuan Shikai to Nanjing to take office, but after the envoy arrived, he encountered a Beiyang military turmoil.The revolutionaries firmly believed that the military chaos in Beijing was caused by Yuan Shikai secretly, and the purpose was to stay in Beijing instead of going to Nanjing.

So on the revolutionary side, is there any evidence?
The evidence of the Revolutionary Party is: Yuan Shikai is a big villain, how can the big villain not make war?So since there is a military chaos, it must be caused by the big villain Yuan Shikai.

However, how can it be seen that Yuan Shikai is a big villain?
The evidence is also simple-Yuan Shikai caused military chaos, how could a good person cause military chaos?Therefore, Yuan Shikai is a big villain.

Thus, a closed circular logic circle appeared in history: Yuan Shikai was a villain, so he must have caused the military chaos.Since he caused the military chaos, he must be a bad guy... In other words, until now, no one has been able to produce definite evidence of Yuan Shikai's military chaos, because everyone thinks it is unnecessary.

But this is necessary, very necessary.

Let's first look at the details of the mutiny in Beijing.

The Beiyang Mutiny was full of twists and turns.First, Sun Wen ordered the Senate to vote to establish Nanjing as the capital and encircle Yuan Shikai in Nanjing. Unexpectedly, the senators had their own ideas and passed the proposal to establish the capital in Beijing with an absolute majority.Sun Wen was furious, and yelled at the senators who voted for nothing, while Huang Xing threatened to raise troops, and no matter how disobedient the senators were, they would be served by bullets.Members were afraid, and this barely passed the bill.

So Sun Wen sent nine envoys: Cai Yuanpei, Song Jiaoren, Wang Jingwei, Niu Yongjian, Wang Zhengting, Liu Guanxiong, Wei Chenzu, Zeng Zhaowen, Huang Kaiyuan—pay attention to this Huang Kaiyuan, this trip to Beijing, this guy really earned a vote , I will talk about it later-these nine people went northward on February 2 and arrived in Beijing on February 18. They met Yuan Shikai the next day.
