The Republic is so violent

Chapter 122: The World Is in Chaos (1)
01 Your mother told you to go home for dinner
Sun Wen announced the second revolution on July 7, but the heroic Wuchang people had a fight with the fat boy Li Yuanhong one month in advance.

In fact, Wuchang has undergone two revolutions by the Heroes Association, three revolutions by the Zhang Zhenwu Iron and Blood Corps, four revolutions by the Nanhu Cavalry, and five revolutions by the Xiong Bingkun Improvement Corps... This time and again, the radicals in Hubei have been killed seven or seven times by Li Yuanhong Eighty-eight, not much left.As the saying goes, the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows again. The remaining people, under the leadership of Jiang Lingwu, Xiong Bingkun and others, are determined to carry out the sixth revolution. If the fat boy Li Yuanhong is not killed, this matter is not over. .

All in all, this time the great leader of the revolution, Sun Wen, has fallen behind Wuchang again. He has just started the second revolution here, and Wuchang has already started the sixth revolution.

The sixth revolution in Wuchang is scheduled for June 6. The plan uses the weighted average of the first revolution of the 25 Revolution and the four revolutions of the Nanhu Cavalry.Specifically, the Nanhu garrison took the lead in attacking the uprising gate, while the responders in the city adopted Xiong Bingkun's tactics at that time, responded in groups, and took Hankou first.

Objective evaluation: Veterans go out, one is worth two.Jiang Lingwu and Xiong Bingkun, two veteran revolutionaries with rich experience, showed perfect genius effects in this planning and organization. He rushed out of the garrison and went straight to the uprising gate, but Fatty Li didn't hear the wind at all.

But the terrible thing is that the secrecy work of this revolution was done so well that not only Fatty Li didn't hear the news, but also all the bidders in the camp didn't know about it.It is not that Jiang Lingwu and Xiong Bingkun have not considered this issue before the mobilization, but they both think that as long as the mobilization is mobilized, the guns are fired, and the fire is set on all sides, the brothers in each standard battalion will run away with guns just like they did during Shouyi Come out to participate, when there will be chaos in Wuchang, the revolution will surely succeed.

According to the book "Selected Translations of Materials Related to the Revolution of [-] in the British Blue Book", Jiang Lingwu and Xiong Bingkun were highly optimistic about the response of the soldiers after the launch, and asserted that it is possible to repeat the events of the soldiers' revolution in Wuchang two years ago. drama.

But this live drama ultimately failed to be staged as expected.When Jiang Lingwu and Xiong Bingkun led the Nanhu Biaobattalion to attack the Uprising Gate, the brothers from each Biaobattalion climbed to a high place, looked around for a while, then immediately lost interest, blew the light-off signal, washed up and fell asleep.

It would be wrong to say that no one responded. Sun Wu, the great revolutionary, rushed here like a spark.

When Sun Wu came here, he brought Liu Guigou, Cai Hanqing, Du Bangjun, Ping Fusheng, Shen Hongbin, Li Fengchun, etc., members of the Gongjinhui. After the brigade arrived, they fired at Jiang Lingwu and Xiong Bingkun, making Jiang Lingwu and Xiong Bingkun complain. Not enough.

It turns out that Sun Wu and Cai Hanqing, the old fellows of the Gongjinhui, have long stopped playing with everyone.The former Nanhu Cavalry was wiped out by these brothers.And there is nothing wrong with Sun Wu's way of doing things-how can anyone stop doing business and kill and set fire for a lifetime?Even if you revolutionized this group of people, what is the difference with this group of people if you change another group of people?
We are all human and have human flaws.If whoever holds power, you will have trouble with him. Isn't this deliberately making trouble with yourself?
After being beaten violently by the old buddy Sun Wu, Jiang Lingwu and Xiong Bingkun finally gave up, uttered a cry, turned around and dragged their guns and left.When I was in a panic, I looked at the brothers in each standard battalion, all lying in the door to watch the excitement, obviously unable to raise their emotions.

It’s no good if you can’t bring up your emotions. Jiang Lingwu and Xiong Bingkun fled to a safe area, thinking about it, no, no, no, you have to go back to do the work of the brothers in the standard camps, and we must let everyone bring up the revolutionary emotions again.

So, Xiong Bingkun came back again.Unexpectedly, Fatty Li sent a large number of detectives to the street, looking for him everywhere. As soon as he appeared, the detectives rushed towards him screaming. At that time, the old bear reacted super fast and used two flying legs. Whoosh, whoosh, rushed into the concession.

After escaping into the foreign concession, the old bear panted heavily, and called to the detectives standing outside across the line: Come here, come and catch me.

The detectives stood outside the concession, persuading them earnestly: "Old Xiong, stop the trouble, your mother told you to go home for dinner."

Xiong Bingkun rubbed his nose resentfully: There was no other way, the Literature Society was killed by Li Fatty, and the whole group of the Gongjinhui and Sun Wu defected to Li Yuanhong. The sixth revolution in Wuchang had to be left alone.

02 Take a stick to revolt

After Jiang Lingwu and Xiong Bingkun fled Wuchang, they were very angry, so Jiang Lingwu sneaked into Changsha to continue the revolution.However, Xiong Bingkun went to Jiangxi to meet with Li Liejun, the governor of Jiangxi who has been dismissed.

Li Liejun said in his own words that Yuan Shikai was most afraid of him. Before he was dismissed, he sent envoys to lobby. As long as Li Liejun went to Beijing, Lao Yuan would pay 200 million yuan and award Li Liejun an honor.Li Liejun said that he flatly refused, which is why Lao Yuan fired him.

Li Liejun's statement has never been verified by Yuan Shikai, but it is what all historians must cite at present-there is no need to verify it with Yuan Shikai, what is it to prove it with a big villain?
Li Liejun was dismissed on June 6, and then Sun Wen sent Zhang Ji, Ju Zheng, Bai Yuheng, and Wu Tiecheng to come to condolences, and advised Li Liejun to raise troops immediately and kill Lao Yuan.At the same time, another member of the Kuomintang, He Ziqi, sneaked into Jiangxi and gave a speech on the streets of the school, calling on the people of Jiangxi: Get up, Jiangxi people suffering from hunger and cold, get up, people who don’t want to be hungry, use your blood to forge a new The Great Wall, Yuan Shikai, we will be the masters of the world...

He Ziqi spoke impassionedly at the top, with tears streaming down his face, but the people listening below felt that everything was wrong, and some people raised their hands to ask questions: Hey, that one standing on the stage talking nonsense, let me ask you, about the strength of the troops in Jiangxi , less than two divisions, such a small number of people, can beat Yuan Shikai?

He Ziqi shook his head: Sad, sad, facing you people who don't study, it's really sad.Can't you look through history books besides eating?Look at the French Revolution, look at it, the French Revolution, the common people beat the king away with sticks!

He Ziqi's words made the audience speechless.

Although He Ziqi was eloquent and even the people of Jiangxi could not speak against him together, Li Liejun felt that raising troops was no small matter, and he had to go to Shanghai to have a chat with Sun Wen.

So Li Liejun went to Shanghai on June 6 and held an important military meeting with Sun Wen, Huang Xing, Chen Qimei and others.After the meeting was over, on July 15, Li Liejun sneaked back to Jiangxi. On July 7, he set up the General Command of Disputing Yuan in Hukou. On July 7, Li Liejun was elected by the Jiangxi Provincial Council as the commander-in-chief of the Jiangxi Disputing Yuan Army.He Ziqi, who can be said best, served as the commander of the Hukou garrison.

Although Jiangxi Discuss Yuan Jun was established, but because Li Liejun was dismissed from the post of governor, the military responded very few.Li Liejun was helpless, so he set up his headquarters on Poyang Lake, and organized all the water police who specialize in catching water thieves as the main force to fight against Yuan Jun.Although this police force cannot be compared with the field army, Li Liejun can't help it either.If it were someone else, even the water police might not be able to organize it.

——But in fact, just the day before everyone voted for Lao Li as the commander-in-chief, that is, on July 7, the Jiangxi Army had officially exchanged fire with the Beiyang Army.

The one who took the lead in exchanging fire with the Beiyang soldiers was Ouyang Wu, the current governor of Jiangxi.

03 Horror and supernatural murderer
Ouyang Wu, the current governor of Jiangxi, is a classmate of Li Liejun in the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy. They returned to China together, participated in the restoration of Jiangxi during the Revolution of [-], and governed Jiangxi together.When Li Liejun was the governor, there were two division commanders in Jiangxi, one was Ouyang Wu and the other was Liu Shijun, both of whom were revolutionaries.

Compared with Ouyang Wu, Li Liejun is the protagonist of history, and Ouyang Wu's main job is to take the blame for Li Liejun and be scolded for Li Liejun.

This time the second revolution, Ouyang Wu took the blame for Li Liejun.Moreover, this time the scapegoat was too heavy, and the poor Ouyang Wu collapsed—when Li Liejun was fighting for the commander-in-chief of Yuan Jun, Ouyang Wu was carrying the scapegoat and was striding forward on the road to collapse.

Ouyang Wu's scapegoat was such a method of rebellion. He commanded the ineffective Jiangxi soldiers to conquer the east and west, and defeated Yuan Shikai's Beiyang army.

Obviously Ouyang Wu won and Li Liejun lost, but everyone blamed Ouyang Wu with one word, saying that Ouyang Wu destroyed Li Liejun's war preparation system, and his revolutionary stance was not firm-just imagine Ouyang Wu, a normal person, why not collapse?

Let's first take a look at how Ouyang Wu won.

The main lineup of the Jiangxi army is dominated by Lin Hu and Fang Shengtao. Among them, Lin Hu followed Sun Wen to participate in the battle of Zhennanguan. He was originally in Guangxi.Later, the Nanjing government was abolished, and Lin Hu took the army to station in Jiangxi.In short, Lin Hu is an old revolutionary with super rich military experience.

The chief general of the Beiyang Army is called Li Chun, and he commands the most terrifying army in Beiyang.

What kind of horror law?
Under the command of Li Chun, who came to attack Jiangxi was a well-known murderer in Beiyang.This army has extremely bizarre and supernatural laws, no matter who is in charge of the army, he will definitely end up in a terrible situation.

This army is called the Sixth Town of Beiyang. The first commander is Zhao Guoxian, a very famous general under Yuan Shikai. During the Revolution of [-], he was surrounded by the militia for some reason. Zhao Guoxian was so ashamed that he committed suicide .

Zhao Guoxian was the first to set a precedent for the violent death of the six Beiyang towns, and the second commander of the sixth town was Wu Luzhen, a well-known non-commissioned officer and member of the alliance. As a result, Wu Luzhen was also assassinated by his subordinates inexplicably.

The next one should be Li Chun, who is now attacking Jiangxi. He first lost to Ouyang Wu, and then defeated Li Liejun. Then, he was poisoned to death by some strange person, and he couldn't even tell his name.

Li Chun should be followed by Ma Jizeng. When he took over, Cai E from Yunnan, the rarest military genius in Chinese history, came to deal with Yuan Shikai.

After Ma Jizeng, this army fell into the hands of the unfortunate Zhou Wenbing. When Zhou Wenbing was studying in Japan, he was a classmate with Chiang Kai-shek. It is said that he should be lucky to have such a friendship.But suddenly one day, he fell ill suddenly and died for no reason. The cause of death is unknown.

After Zhou Wenbing, Qi Xieyuan unfortunately became the commander-in-chief of this army. This was already the period of the Anti-Japanese War, and Qi Xieyuan was shot and executed by Chiang Kai-shek because he was a traitor.

In short, the Beiyang six towns hurt the generals.Anyone who serves as the commander-in-chief of this army will not be spared a good death.

Now, Li Chun, who has not been poisoned to death, brought this army to cause trouble.

04 This battle cannot be fought

At dawn on July 1913, 7, Jiangxi Lin Hu's army and Beiyang Li Chun's army officially exchanged fire in Shahe.

What's interesting is that neither of these two armies was well prepared, because neither side thought that the war would break out so soon, so when the battle started, they were both in a hurry, and the war showed a strange stalemate.After a stalemate for a while, Lin Hu suddenly had a whim, and sent a surprise soldier to take a detour to copy Li Chun's rear.

This surprise soldier set off in a hurry, and on the way halfway, they collided face-to-face with a surprise soldier of Li Chun.It turned out that Li Chun and Lin Hu had the same idea, and also sent a surprise soldier to copy Lin Hu's back, but the two surprise soldiers fought together, leaving the main forces of both sides at a loss as to what to do.

This is the battle situation in the morning. Both sides reported the victory to their headquarters.

At noon, the Jiangxi army began to escape victoriously. At least half of the officers, either leading the team or alone, fled to the Beiyang army in an endless stream.After some brothers fled to the Beiyang Army, they turned their guns and shot back. From then on, Yuan Jun will assign this series of incidents to the newly appointed governor Ouyang Wu.

After fleeing at noon, the Beiyang Army hastily reorganized and defected to seek Yuan Jun.Discussing Yuan Jun's side also hastily counted the number of people, trying to figure out who ran away and why those who stayed didn't run away.This job was quite troublesome, so in the afternoon, both sides stopped the fire at the same time.

At night, the Beiyang Army counted the escaped men and horses, and they were overjoyed, and came rushing aggressively.Asking Yuan Jun to count the number of people who had escaped, he was furious, and went up to the battle full of grief and indignation.The battle line stretched from Jinjipo to Masuling, and the two armies fought all night.

After dawn, Yuan Jun issued a battle report: more than 1 guns from the Beiyang Army were captured, 5 company commander, 200 platoon leaders, more than 1 soldiers, and 1 prisoner battalion deputy were killed.One soldier was injured in Jiangxi, and no one was killed.

This battle report is obviously nonsense, because the Jiangxi soldiers are in a mess, and it was released to fool the soldiers.But the strange thing is, this battle report is still quoted by many history books, what can you do?
After the battle report was released, Fang Shengtao, another chief general of the Yuan army, arrived with reinforcements.When Lin Hu saw him and was about to be pleasantly surprised, Lao Fang had already retreated quickly, leaving Lin Hu dumbfounded.

Afterwards, Fang Shengtao explained: He heard the gunshots on the battlefield stop, and thought that all his brothers had been wiped out, so he hurriedly retreated.

Lao Fang withdrew as soon as he said he would withdraw, causing Lin Hu to be held back by Li Chun until dawn on the 14th.At this time, Li Chun found the opportunity to fight, so he ordered the whole line of troops to advance. Lin Hu broke down and ran towards the blue bridge. Li Mu, the battalion commander, escaped a little slower, and was captured by Li Chun.

Finding that Lin Hu had failed, Fang Shengtao led the machine gun company and rushed up eagerly.Just as he was fighting, he didn't guard against the machine gun company's sudden defection and swept towards his brothers. Li Chun sent out a surprise soldier and copied him from behind.There was also an incident of slaughtering officers in the Yuan army. With the support of the soldiers, the low-level officers killed the officers, and then all turned to the Beiyang army.

After discussing Yuan Jun, he completely lost his combat ability.

This battle is really impossible.

05 How Yuan Shikai protects the calf
Yuan Shikai in Jiangxi had already lost his combat capability, but Yuan Shikai still did not dare to take it lightly. To kill a chicken, he must use a butcher's knife, so he sent his confidant general Duan Zhigui to Jiangxi, accompanied by the often defeated general Wang Zhanyuan who is said to be the reincarnation of the white tiger spirit.

At this time Li Liejun was already waiting to die, and Li Chunzheng was about to make a great contribution, and was complacent, when suddenly Duan Zhigui came, one can imagine how angry Li Chun was.

Li Chun said: Tell the surname Duan that I am sick and see no customers.

Although Duan Zhigui is also an outstanding figure in Beiyang, he can't compare with such heroes as Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang. Generally speaking, he is very capable in military affairs, and his brain is not enough when dealing with interpersonal relationships.After hearing what Li Chun sent someone to say, I still didn't understand what was going on, so I said: Oh, Li Chun is sick, so I should go to see him.

The messenger came back and reported the news of Duan Zhigui's visit.Li Chun said: You go back and tell Duan that if he dares to come, I will let him go and never return.

The messenger returned and told Duan Zhigui what Li Chun had said.Duan Zhigui suddenly asked in a daze: What do you mean?What does Li Chun mean...why can't I come back after I go?

After thinking for a while, Duan Zhigui finally came to his senses. Li Chun hated him for competing with him, so he showed strong hostility.At that time, Zhigui became very popular. In the fucking Beiyang army, I am the only one who is inferior. If I don’t steal your military exploits, how can I still be in Beiyang?

Duan Zhigui got angry, and immediately sent a secret telegram to Yuan Shikai, saying: Li is so bossy, and if he is not punished according to the Ming Dynasty, military affairs will be unimaginable.

Although Duan Zhigui is not capable enough, he is still a popular person around Yuan Shikai, and his words are useful.Yuan Shikai was furious when he received Duan Zhigui's secret telegram, and immediately vented his anger on Duan. First he sent a telegram to scold Li Chun, and then he wanted to disband Li Chun's headquarters.Now Li Chun was dumbfounded, so he had to ask all the generals to send a telegram to Yuan Shikai to intercede for him, and Yuan Shikai let him go.

After Duan Zhigui took over the military power, he took Li Chun as the left commander and Baihu Jing Wang Zhanyuan as the right commander, and arranged a comprehensive offensive strategy for the Yuan army.

06 Duan Zhigui has poisonous eyes

Although Yuan Jun has lost his combat ability, for Li Liejun, he still has a chance to flop.However, the arrival of Duan Zhigui made Li Liejun completely unable to chant.

Just as many people in the Yuan army did not want to beg Yuan, as long as they had the opportunity, they would immediately flee to the Beiyang Army.Similarly, in the Beiyang Army, there were also people who were thinking of launching a sudden attack to reverse the situation for Yuan Jun.

This person is Beiyang General Liu Shijun. He has been lurking in Beiyang, forbearance, and only waits until the critical moment, and then strikes again, turning the defeat of Yuan Jun into victory.But since that Duan Zhigui can be reused by Yuan Shikai, there is always something special about him.What makes Lao Duan extraordinary is that he has a pair of poisonous eyes. Although he is relatively ignorant in manipulating interpersonal relationships, Li Chun cannot match his eyesight in seeing people and knowing them.

So as soon as Duan Zhigui arrived in Jiujiang, he called all the military generals for a meeting, and glanced at the meeting table: Well, that person is so strange, let’s see what his name is... Liu Shijun, well, there must be something wrong with this person .

What's the problem?

Duan Zhigui couldn't say what the problem was.He sees people only by intuition, if he doesn't like you, it must be your problem, and you have nothing to say about it.

So Duan Zhigui secretly ordered: Transfer this person... Liu Shijun to Jiangbei, the farther away from the battlefield the better, the more I see this person, the more wrong he becomes.

So Liu Shijun was transferred to Jiangbei.

Now Liu Shijun was dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to disobey the order openly, so he had to go to Jiangbei first, and when he got there, he ordered the whole army to return quietly. His strange behavior immediately aroused the suspicion of his subordinates, who guessed that he was going back to vote for Yuan Jun , all shook their heads and refused.
