The Republic is so violent

Chapter 118: Night Revenant (1)
01 The trick of fate

It is said that in 1955, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government was smooth and the people were harmonious, and the population increased rapidly. The city of Beijing was facing strong employment pressure.

The younger generation has grown up, and the number of unemployed is increasing by leaps and bounds. What should we do?

Yes, the party and the government have come up with a wonderful idea: immigration!

Transfer the unemployed population in Beijing to the sparsely populated Northwest.In this way, the employment pressure in Beijing City has been greatly reduced.

So beating gongs and drums, calling on the broad masses of the people to take active actions to emigrate enthusiastically and reduce the burden on the government.At this time, a woman with small feet who was selling candied haws on the streets of Beijing stumbled over and strongly demanded to respond to the party's call to support the construction of the Great Northwest.So this woman was put on a big red flower, and sent to the third village of Jingxing Township, Helan County with drums and gongs. After arriving, the woman stayed behind closed doors and lived her own life.

But the good times didn’t last long. Just two years later, that is, in 1957, a political turmoil came. The third village of Jingxing Township, Helan County was regarded as the hardest-hit area of ​​the movement, and a relatively high target was issued for the anti-corruption of the rich and the right. Demand that as many people as possible be labeled as reactionaries.Those who often walk around and talk nonsense are doomed, and they are all imprisoned and reformed through labor.But in the end, everyone who can be caught has been caught, but the quota of bad elements has not been fulfilled, so what should I do?

His vigilant eyes fell on the little-footed woman who kept her door shut.

This woman must be found out to make up the target.

But this woman never goes out, what are you doing?

Fortunately, the era of the Great Leap Forward came, and the iron pots of every household were smashed, and everyone had to go to the people's communes to eat big pot meals.At this time, the little-footed woman had to lean on the wall and struggle to walk out the door.

This year, the woman was 67 years old.

A few days later, the vigilant masses discovered that the 67-year-old woman with small feet hadn't eaten in the cafeteria for several days. What's going on?When the crowd came to her house, they looked up and closed their eyes in fright.

I saw that the doors and windows of this old lady's house were smashed by the revolutionary masses in the dark, and even half of the kang was knocked down.The poor old lady was curled up on half of the kang, dying of hunger.

A few days later, the old lady selling candied haws died of illness.

To die is to die, there are so many dead people in this world, there is no one worth talking about—but this old lady has to talk about it.It is said that a few days after the old lady died, people from the People's Bank of China came and said that the old lady had deposited 6000 silver dollars in the bank, which was enough to buy the most luxurious mansion in Shanghai.It's a pity that the old lady is dead, and she can't spend the money anymore.

Later, people from the bank just came, and another person came from Nanjing, saying that there is a big house in Nanjing, which has been used by the military for a long time, but the owner of the house has never been found, and after careful investigation, It was finally found out that the owner of this house was this old lady who starved to death.

It turned out that the old lady was so rich, but why didn't she take it out and spend it?

The answer is: In the past, the old lady had too much money in her family, but now she doesn't care about it at all. She has long forgotten that she still has a house and bank deposits in Nanjing.

But who is this old lady, so rich?
This old lady's name is Ye Zhen.

02 Stealing the Dragon and Turning the Phoenix into a Monster Marriage

However, in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a wealthy Ye family who gave birth to a daughter named Ye Zhen. She was smart, lively and cute since she was a child, and when she was older, she knew how to flirt with little boys and flirt with her eyes. .

But what really worries Father Ye is still to come. When Ye Zhen is a little older, she learns to read and write, breaks through the shackles of the feudal family desperately, and bravely goes to... a brothel!
How could this girl go to a brothel?

This is because, in the late Qing Dynasty, men were superior to women and women were inferior, people's wisdom was not yet developed, and the whole society was lifeless, and there were no opportunities for women to find jobs at all.For girls who rush out of the house, there is no second job except for going to a brothel.

Since then, Ye Zhen has been in Diaoyu Lane in Nanjing, outshining all others with her skills and taking over the style.But to be honest, the reason why she was able to overwhelm the crowd was because she had no financial pressure. Other girls came to work in brothels because they had no choice but to survive.And Ye Zhen is looking for love for herself - although a brothel is not the best place to wait for love, but at that time, it was also a helpless way, everyone needs to understand more, understand more.

In short, if you say this place is not suitable, then please find a suitable place.

I can't find it, it's here.

So Ye Zhen waited quietly in Diaoyu Lane, waiting for her true destiny to appear.Waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting, finally when the gunfire of the [-] Revolution brought a gentle, elegant and beautiful young man to Diaoyu Lane.

It is said that the young man who was as beautiful as jade arrived at Diaoyu Alley, and immediately caused a riot in the brothel. All the female practitioners rushed forward desperately: mine is mine, he is mine, no one is allowed to rob me, dare to follow I robbed my wife and slaughtered your whole family... But the beautiful young man was unmoved, so he named one person's name: Ye Zhen.

But Ye Zhen refused without thinking about it.

Ye Zhen said: It's not that I love Fengchen, it's always a mistake.If you spend money until your hands feel weak, it is always thanks to the rich man.If you go, you must go, and if you live, you must live.If you wait for the flowers to fill your head, you will be a big depositor in the bank.

The handsome young man understood what Ye Zhen meant: If you want to date me, it’s not enough just to be handsome, you also have to be a child of an aristocratic family. kind.

So the beautiful young man reported his family name: Ye Meimei, it seems that there is no other suitable one for the condition you offered except me.Let me tell you who I am. My father is Yuan Shikai from Beiyang. He holds military power and is famous all over the world.In addition, my father is also a business genius. He has opened countless companies and made money all over the place.As for me, my father's second son, Yuan Kewen, my main job is to spend money for my father, Ye Meimei, look at my conditions, are you satisfied?
Satisfied, very satisfied.Ye Zhen was overjoyed, so she came out and made a lifelong engagement with Yuan Kewen. As the saying goes, she would like to be a lovebird in the sky, and Lian Lizhi in the earth. Here, prostitutes and customers will be married couples from now on.On this occasion, Ye Zhen sent Yuan Kewen a private photo of herself, and made an appointment with her father Yuan Shikai to marry her after she returned to Beijing.

Sure enough, not long after Yuan Kewen returned to Beijing, the Yuan family brought a sedan chair for eight people, and countless gifts, and carried them to Diaoyu Lane to marry Ye Zhen.Ye Zhen was overjoyed and shy, got into the sedan chair and was carried to Beijing city.After entering the bridal chamber, one hand pulled off the hijab on her head, so she was surprised to see a strange old man who was super short but had sharp and terrifying eyes, staring at her covetously.

At that time Ye Zhen was shocked: ... What are you, you, you?

The short man smiled strangely and said: Honey, I am your husband, Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai?Ye Zhen's shock was no small matter: But this and that...

Yuan Shikai smiled and said: "Don't do this or that. My second son, Bao Kewen, said that you admired my heroic majesty and longed to marry me as a wife. Because you missed me for a long time, you became sick from missing it."Although I, Yuan Shikai, already have many, many wives, I can't be too selfish, completely ignoring your true love, right?

It was really too shocking, Ye Zhen only felt that her eyes were darkened, and then she passed out.

Yuan Shikai was overjoyed, he didn't expect that I would be so charming when I was old, this little girl fell in love with me when she saw me... She couldn't help but rush over.

03 Something Really Happened

The one who has privately engaged with Ye Zhen for life is obviously Yuan Shikai's son Yuan Kewen, why is it that Yuan Shikai rushed forward when he entered the bridal chamber?

Regarding this matter, Yuan Shikai's daughter Yuan Jingxue explained it in the book "My Father Yuan Shikai":
... My father was the governor of Zhili, and once sent his second brother to Nanjing to do something for him.Since the second elder brother was naturally fond of playing outside, he would often go for a walk around Fishing Lane in his spare time, so he met the later sixth aunt.The two fell in love at first sight and made a covenant to marry each other.When the second brother was leaving, she gave him a photo as a souvenir.According to the rules of our family, when children come back from a long way, they must kowtow to their parents for "goodbye".The second brother returned to Tianjin to return to his life, and when he was kowtowing, unexpectedly this photo fell from him.When my father saw this situation, he pointed to the ground and asked repeatedly: "What is it, what is it?" At that time, the second brother was not married yet, so naturally he did not dare to reveal his absurd behavior in front of his father.He was in a hurry, and said that he found a good-looking girl for my father in the south, and now he brought this photo back to ask my father for his opinion.My father looked at the beautiful figure in this photo, she was really beautiful, and said repeatedly: "Good! Good!" Then he sent Fu Dianqing, who used to do this kind of errand for him, to bring her back with money.The sixth concubine originally had a marriage contract with the second brother, but seeing that the Yuan family had sent someone to pick her up, she naturally thought of the second brother, so she also packed her bags and happily headed north.She did not expect that in the "bridal chamber wedding night", she found that the handsome young man she had imagined had turned into an old man with a beard, and her grief was probably no less than that of my mother!
Yuan Jingxue's explanation is really a bit appalling, people are dumbfounded after listening to it, dumbfounded, like a chicken talking to a duck, they can't explain clearly.I feel that the credibility is obviously not too high-this matter, no matter how it sounds, it is outrageous.

Therefore, many historians do not take this matter seriously.That Yuan Shikai was very intelligent, no matter how stupid he was, he would not rob his son of a woman.But if you don't believe this, and you can't explain how Yuan Shikai got in touch with Ye Zhen from Diaoyu Lane, there must be a reason, right?

What's more, if this is not the case, then there is no way to explain the future situation.

What will happen next?

According to "Famous Scholars Yuan Hanyun" compiled by Wang Xiaohua, what Yuan Jingxue said is true, and Yuan Kewen and his father's sixth concubine did have a hand in the past.Moreover, there was already a marriage contract, but unexpectedly, the groom changed to the old man Yuan Shikai, so Ye Zhen was furious and scolded Yuan Kewen for being a joke, and even gave Yuan Kewen her token of love—— Shoushan Dongshizhang was thrown out of the window.

In addition, Xu Zhenglun, Yuan Shikai's family doctor, also said this.But Dr. Xu said that things are like this. Once, Yuan Kewen took his wife and asked Yuan Shikai's sixth concubine, Ye Zhen, to disguise herself as a little girl. The three of them sneaked out to watch a play, not wanting anything to happen...

What's the matter?

Yuan Kewen also wrote a book called "Self-Report", which said:
In the revolution of Wuhan in [-], the late Duke rose up again as a supervisor and ordered Wen Shouhuan to go up. In the midst of chaos in all directions, there was no peace.Xiangong's class teacher, Wen also went north with his family.The country is in trouble, but the family is in trouble.If you don't get what you want, go to sea.Not long after, Xian Gong felt that he was a slander in the world, and urgently sent an envoy to call Wen back.Wen felt the kindness of the ancestor, and he didn't want to worry about the ancestor's worries again, so he let go of the mountains and rivers, and stopped asking about family and state affairs.

All in all, something happened to Yuan Shikai's family.

But what happened?

04 Ugly history of wealthy families
It is said that Yuan Shikai was handsome, brave, intelligent and decisive, diligent in intercourse, had many wives, and gave birth to an astonishing number of sons.But as soon as there were more children, the Yuan family's intelligence was lowered below the average line.Among them, Yuan Keding, the eldest son, is the most careless.But the terrible thing is that Yuan Keding himself doesn't know that he is short-sighted, and firmly believes that others are short-sighted.

Although short-sighted, Yuan Keding has super-sightedness. He can see at a glance that his father Yuan Shikai is powerful, and sooner or later he will become the Ninth Five-Year Master.

Although he has great foresight, Yuan Keding is still extremely short-sighted, he doesn't care about the Republic of China at all, and still firmly regards himself as the prince, always ready to ascend the throne.

In order to ascend the throne and become emperor, the crown prince Yuan Keding mercilessly attacked his elder brother Yuan Kewen. Because Yuan Kewen was talented and famous all over the world, Yuan Keding regarded his elder brother as the most important enemy in his life, and treated his younger brother Yuan Kewen like an autumn wind Cruel suppression like fallen leaves.

The third son of the Yuan family was named Yuan Keliang.This child was very strange. After giving birth, he found that everything was wrong. He sent it to the doctor for an examination. The doctor said: This child is fine everywhere, but the brain nerves are wired wrongly, and he is mentally ill.

If you are mentally ill, you are mentally ill. Anyway, Yuan Shikai's family has money, so he just needs to raise this child.

But since Yuan Keliang's nerves were miswired and his mental state was abnormal, he would inevitably discover some things that normal people would never discover.It is said that one day, when the eldest son Yuan Keding came back from outside, he saw Yuan Keliang, who was insane, rushing towards him. Good news, big brother, big brother, good news for you!

Yuan Keding: What good news?

Yuan Keliang: Big Brother, I saw Second Brother having sex with Sixth Mom just now.

Yuan Keding: ...It's true or not, you can't talk nonsense about this matter.

Yuan Keliang: Of course it is true, otherwise you can ask the second brother or the sixth mother, they will definitely say that I did not lie to you.

Yuan Keding: It's not appropriate for me to ask this question, right?How about you ask our dad to ask the two of them?
Yuan Keliang: No, Dad will beat me up.

Yuan Keding: You told Dad, why did Dad beat you?If you don't tell Dad, Dad will beat you.

Yuan Keliang: Then I'll tell Dad to go...

So Yuan Keliang rushed to find his father Yuan Shikai: Dad, Dad, I have good news for you. Just now, my second brother and sixth mother took off their clothes and went to bed...

Yuan Shikai was so frightened that he hurriedly blocked his silly son's mouth: "Silly son, I beg you, your stinky mouth is talking nonsense, how can your father go out to meet people?"
Yuan Keliang broke free and argued vigorously: "Really dad, if you don't believe me, you can ask elder brother, elder brother has also seen it."

What?Did you see it all?Yuan Shikai lowered his head, and rushed towards the nearest wall: I, I, I, I am dead, my own son and my sixth aunt are too incestuous, I could hit myself to death... Fortunately, the people around me rushed up and died. Holding Yuan Shikai up, he was still persuading in a mess: the president calms down, calms down, the second son is rich in the crown of jade, with pearls in his chest, the sixth concubine is full of charm, beautiful and blue-hearted, the two of them take off their clothes and go to bed, this sincere man Lin Meishier...

Good thing you are tall!Yuan Shikai was furious: "Bring a big stick and call me the second child. Today I will beat him to death!"

"Famous Scholars Yuan Hanyun" edited by Wang Xiaohua said that Yuan Shikai was angry and wanted to beat Yuan Kewen to death, but Yuan Kewen was not stupid, so he immediately put oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.

Xu Zhenglun, Yuan Shikai's family doctor, said: No, Yuan Kewen didn't run away. At that time, Yuan Kewen's nanny protected him. In addition, Yuan Kewen's wife hugged the child and knelt on the ground begging hard, so Yuan Kewen escaped for a while. robbery.

The specific details of the matter have been unable to be clarified.But one thing is certain, Yuan Kewen escaped from his home and fled to Shanghai, where he got involved with the revolutionaries ever since.

05 Song Jiaoren, the rebel
After Yuan Kewen fled to Shanghai, he spent every day with Chen Xiangyun, the secretary of the revolutionary Chen Qimei.

Chen Xiangyun, then Chief of the Foreign Affairs Section of the Shanghai Army Staff Department, was the one who accompanied Chen Qimei to greet Sun Wen after the success of the Revolution of [-].Then Sun Wen went to Nanjing to take office as the president. Chen Qimei sent Wang Jinfa, a hero of the Zhongnanhui Party, to protect him with two guns.And the person in charge of Sun Wen's safety is Ying Kuicheng, chief of intelligence section of the Shanghai Army.

But now, Ying Kuicheng, because of his participation in the cavalry riot in Nanhu, is almost a figure in the sky.When Sun Wen and Huang Xing were in Beijing, Yuan Shikai once specifically talked about this topic, hoping that Sun and Huang would take care of Kui Cheng.But then again, if Sun Wen really wanted to control Ying Kui Cheng, it was absolutely impossible for Ying Kui Cheng to make such a fuss.

So far, although Yuan Kewen fled to Shanghai and recited poems and poems every day, everything that happened around Song Jiaoren, the founder of the Kuomintang, was still purely a dispute over party affairs.But immediately after, another person came to Shanghai and completely muddied the water ever since.

This person is Hong Shuzu.

Hong Shuzu, Yuan Shikai's secretary and later secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was the brother-in-law of Zhao Fengchang in Xiyin Hall.I don't know the purpose of this person's sudden trip to Shanghai. I think it's nothing more than selfishness. One is to visit my sister and brother-in-law, and the other is to organize Shanghai forces to prevent Song Jiaoren's Kuomintang from aspiring to power.

The arrival of Hong Shuzu completely disrupted the political situation in China.First, when Song Jiaoren was in Beijing, he lived in Zhao Bingjun's home. The two hit it off right away, talking at night by candlelight, and never seeing each other again.Since then, Zhao Bingjun has replaced Lu Zhengxiang, who was ill, as the prime minister of the cabinet.But Zhao Bingjun believed that Song Jiaoren was the most suitable prime minister.

On the Shanghai side, Hong Shuzu and Ying Kuicheng met unexpectedly again, and the two fell in love at first sight, and they both regarded Song Jiaoren as an opponent, so the conversation was naturally harmonious and connected.

Beiyang and the Kuomintang got mixed up like this.You shouldn't, you shouldn't, Yuan Shikai shouldn't have messed up like this. The result of the mess is that history has become a pot of mud, and it is really painstaking to analyze it clearly.

The situation at that time was like this. The Prime Minister Zhao Bingjun and Song Jiaoren appreciated each other, and Song Jiaoren was eager to engage in a gentleman's struggle to snatch the throne of the Cabinet Prime Minister from Zhao Bingjun.However, Hong Shuzu communicated with Ying Kuicheng's lyrics and music, secretly thinking about preventing Song Jiaoren from aspiring to power.

Afterwards, Song Jiaoren traveled to Changsha, Wuhan, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou. Everywhere he went, he would go up to give a speech to win votes. There were huge crowds of people who came to watch the excitement, and vendors took the opportunity to sell fruits and peanuts everywhere.

On March 1913, 3, Song Jiaoren went north again at the request of Yuan Shikai.

Before leaving, Chen Qimei, Ying Kuicheng and other party members hosted a farewell banquet.After drinking for three rounds, Chen Qimei pretended to inadvertently ask: If the election is successful, how will you organize the cabinet at the beginning?

Song Jiaoren said with a smile: "I only have one way, the public and the party."
