The Republic is so violent

Chapter 133: The World of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies (4)
The foreigners were unhappy, and the Allies were astonished, and it was also the credit of the party members.The Revolutionary Party had someone specially assigned to collect Zhang Xun's criminal evidence. For example, there was a book at that time called "Zhang Xun's Looting Records", signed by Gu Gongquan. This book included Nanjing people's angry complaints against Zhang Xun.An old man surnamed Gu who experienced the robbery recalled that he was 15 years old at the time. In order to avoid the military disaster, his family fled to hide in a nearby vegetable field:

... On the afternoon of September 9, I was discovered by a small group of bandit soldiers and asked me for big lace (referring to cash).As he said that, he pushed me under the big tree, and when he was raising his gun to shoot me, Feng Guozhang's department was ordered to dispatch to stop the robbery.

Pay attention to this record, please pay attention to this record, the revolutionaries carefully selected Zhang Xun as the target, collected evidence and launched a fierce offensive against him.In order to concentrate firepower, he even did not hesitate to acknowledge Feng Guozhang's contribution to maintaining order.Here, what's the mystery?
At that time, there was a newspaper called "Shengjing Times". This newspaper had previously reported that after the revolutionary tycoon Zhang Zhenwu was killed, his sixth wife went to the eldest wife to discuss the funeral, but was beaten out by the eldest wife.The tendency of this newspaper is also obvious. It does not support the revolutionary party and is relatively fair.

This time, the "Shengjing Times" reported on the robbery of Zhang Xun's braided army:
The situation of the looting in the city today could not be communicated by telegram. The officers and soldiers started looting on Monday afternoon, and before 24:[-], the whole city was robbed.Although there were no valuables from the restoration period in the previous year among the stolen goods, the looting this time was exhaustive and meticulous.There is an endless stream of supporters and bearers of soldiers, all of which are household items.Sometimes the residents are forced to carry the burden. Among them, there may still be the original owner of the property, but the Eighth Master forced them to bring their own property to the camp.Soldiers openly loaded their rickshaws with stolen goods, and there was nothing missing in the stolen goods. Although they were not worth much, they still wanted to take them quickly.All the rickshaws are now under their orders, although no Westerner can hire one.All kinds of stolen goods have no special value in the eyes of outsiders, but the residents claim that they are of great value in the eyes of small brokers and people.Although the value of a store's robbed property is less than a few yuan, if it is lost, its livelihood can be wiped out.Alas!The people of Ning were so unfortunate that they were repeatedly robbed. Although the looting was in a remote place, it seemed that there was no omission. Soldiers forced to serve, the situation is particularly pitiful.Stolen goods were transported to the city gates from all directions, and there was hardly a single street that was spared.

There is a fair report by the "Shengjing Times", which confirms Zhang Xun's braided army's crime of disrupting Nanjing.So how does Zhang Xun himself explain this?
On September 9, Zhang Xun sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai, saying:
The bandit army fled, took the opportunity to plunder, and the bandit aided the torture, becoming more and more cruel, and many of them pretended to be officers and soldiers.At this time, the orders of each army were different.Xun broke the renunciation and sent a team to patrol the streets. There were more than [-] Fa-rectification everywhere, and order was restored.This is what foreigners living in Jinling all over the world can see.Today's Reuters report is based on the fact that the blue-clothed soldiers account for the majority.Zha Xun's troops entered the city, occupying only a corner of the northeast, in a remote area with few households.For the rest of the prosperous areas, each army will be divided into camps, and it is not difficult to check whoever is looting and who is not.

Zhang Xun argued here: The imperialists testified for me, I didn’t do it, it really wasn’t me.Every army has its own territory in Nanjing. Whether the looting took place on my territory will be clear after a search. I also sent people to the streets to enforce the law and killed more than 200 rebels. More than 200 people ah!The Revolutionary Party did not kill so many.Why do you want to wrong me, why?

Did Zhang Xun be wronged, and if so, why?

Just ask He Haiming, this old man is currently in the city of Nanjing, fighting the final battle with the Beiyang Army.

15 For Passionate Sun Gongzi

The Beiyang army swarmed into Nanjing, and there were still thousands of people chasing Yuan's army. They retreated to the Bell and Drum Tower, Neiqiao, and Pigeon Bridge, and fought fiercely with the Beiyang army.

The Beiyang Army began to search and kill Yuan Jun.

At this time, beside the Yuhua Terrace, in the wild grass, an unpleasant voice sounded:

In order to save Sun Lang from his home,
Unexpectedly, he would be number one in the imperial list.

The number one scholar in the middle school, wearing a red robe,

The palace flower in the hat is good and fresh.

I also went to Qionglin Banquet,

I also hit Ma Yujieqian.

Everyone praises me for Pan An's appearance,
It turns out that the gauze hat covers Chanjuan.

I did not take the number one examination to show off my name,

I take the number one scholar exam not to be a high-ranking official.

For the amorous son-in-law,
You say how damn cheap I am.

Ahh, what a bitch you say I am,
Pure fucking nonsense, nonsense...

The weird singing voice from the grass, although well-organized, has a hoarse and weird voice, which makes people get goosebumps when they hear it.

This sad and strange song was uttered by none other than He Haiming, the master of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School and the governor of Jiangsu.He expressed all his grievances and resentment through this song.

That's right, he responded to Sun Wen's second revolution, and came to Nanjing to love Mr. Sun, but what did he see?Huang Xing ran away, Bai Wenwei ran away, the most irritating one was Bai Wenwei, if you say you run away, run away, before you run away, you are obsessed with officials, take all the official positions into your arms, and wait until the situation is messed up It was out of control, so he ran away secretly.In the end, it was he, He Haiming, who specialized in writing romance novels, who persisted in the city of Nanjing.

So He Haiming sang with all his heart, wanting to sing out all the grievances and grievances in his heart.

He Haiming only wanted to express his feelings here, but the people around him were all terrified, their faces were ashen, and they begged bitterly: Governor, Mr. He, let's stop crying and howling, okay?The Beiyang Army heard it, and we all have to die.

He Haiming cried, "Could it be this time, do we still have a way out?"

Everyone said: Of course!Beiyang is a government army and cannot shoot and kill casually.If they want to kill us, they must first ask us about our identities, so we can coax them first, and then suddenly shoot and break out of the encirclement...

Before they finished speaking, they heard a few clicks, and the bullets passed close to their heads.Close at hand, the order of the Beiyang Army sounded: Raise your hands high and come out automatically, otherwise none of you will survive!
Everyone sighed and looked at each other speechlessly.He Haiming's expression of feelings really attracted the Beiyang Army.

There was nothing they could do when they came, so everyone had to pretend to be ordinary people, and wailed loudly: Don’t shoot, we are innocent people, we are really innocent... and raised their guns, bang bang bang towards the Beiyang Army Shoot wildly.

The last gunfire in Nanjing was at noon on September 9 at Yuhuatai.

The Beiyang army jointly attacked He Haiming to fight for the last remnants of Yuan's army. The people around He Haiming were all killed and wounded, and all fled.But He Haiming survived the catastrophe. He and a few relatives sneaked to the edge of Wuding Bridge, found a small boat, jumped on it, rowed and left.

He fled to Japan.

But Huang Xing, Bai Wenwei and other revolutionary leaders are waiting for him in Japan.The defeat in the war is irrelevant to the revolutionaries, but the performance of He Haiming, the master of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School, made the leaders unable to speak out.In order to prevent He Haiming's halo from affecting the future of the revolution, He Haiming suffered a lot. He found himself described as a despicable, cowardly, ugly and shameless villain.

The party members rushed to tell each other, describing: He Haiming, who is known as the commander-in-chief, tried his best to embarrass himself, despicable and shameless, as cowardly as a mouse, and hid under the haystack in the stable to escape.

His performance was too good, and He Haiming was marginalized because he stole the shots of the leaders.He Haiming was forced to join the camp of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School so that he could make a living.

16 And the Allies are amazed
The KMT struggled for power and suppressed He Haiming, and it was not easy for Beiyang—just judging from the looting incidents in Nanjing, it was clear that someone was plotting against Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun's braided army all wore blue military uniforms, and those who broke the news all said that the robbers were blue military uniforms, which made it clear that Zhang Xun's subordinates did it.

But Zhang Xun explained clearly that after entering Nanjing, each of the several armies had their own territories. As long as Zhang Xun's soldiers were not lacking in vigilance, they would never dare to rob other people's territories.Once caught, he will definitely be decapitated, no matter what!Moreover, Zhang Xun did send a law enforcement team to the streets, killing more than 200 people in one go.

The number of more than 200 people is very scary, and it is already a serious attrition in the army.Moreover, if the law enforcement team dared to kill more than 200 rebels, they would inevitably suffer backlash and revenge from the rebels. Many mutinies took place under such circumstances, but Zhang Xun's killing went smoothly. Obviously, the people who were killed More than two hundred people were not under Zhang Xun's subordinates, so no one said anything.

It is clear that someone sent a large number of people to sneak into Nanjing, pretending to be Zhang Xun's subordinates, and robbing wantonly-Zhang Xun's character is well-known in Beiyang. If he has any shortcomings, it is that his brain is not very clear. It is the Republic of China, and it is still thinking about restoring the monarchy every day, which is a typical granite head.

After Zhang Xun entered Nanjing, he ordered that the national flag of the Republic of China be banned, and the centipede flag with red background and white border was used instead. The soldiers wore the military uniforms of the former Qing Dynasty.The reason why he did this was because he refused to agree with the Republic of China from the bottom of his heart. What's so interesting about the Republic of China?You hit me and killed me, it's better to be an emperor, the emperor is high above, everyone kneels down, sticks out their buttocks, and kowtows to the soles of the emperor's shoes, how cool it is!

Zhang Xun, he always believed that Beiyang owed Qianqing, so he had to atone for Beiyang to make up for his uneasiness in conscience.

Yuan Shikai knew that Zhang Xun was angry with him, so he didn't dare to say anything until the ministers of various countries sent telegrams: Hello, what does that big centipede in Nanjing mean?Wouldn't it be another new country?
Only then did Yuan Shikai call Zhang Xun: Xiao Zhang, Youbang was surprised, do you think... um, change the flag to hang it?Be good, just change it.

Unwilling to accept it, Zhang Xun tore down the centipede flag and replaced it with the national flag of the Republic of China.

Then Yuan Shikai sent a telegram to Zhang Xun: Xiao Zhang, now everyone says you are robbing, I believe you, how could you rob?impossible.But the people's words are terrifying, and the friendly countries are surprised, you see if we can do this, you can change the place first and let Feng Guozhang be stationed in Nanjing.

Zhang Xun was transferred away, and Feng Guozhang replaced Zhang Xun as the governor of Jiangsu.

Now let's put these things in order:
[-]. For Nanjing's independence, Yuan Shikai had to send people to suppress it.And Zhang Xun must be sent, because Yuan Shikai forced Zhang Xun to give up Nanjing during the Xinhai period, and owed Zhang Xun.If you don't return it this time, Zhang Xun will have an opinion.

[-]. But Yuan Shikai owed Zhang Xun too much, because Zhang Xun was loyal to the former Qing emperor, but Yuan Shikai kicked the emperor off the dragon chair.So Zhang Xun was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai in his heart.

[-]. Zhang Xun will inevitably attack Nanjing first, and take the shame of abandoning the city in Xinhai.But at the same time, he will definitely do things in the city of Nanjing to move closer to the imperial system, deliberately making Yuan Shikai feel good. Anyway, you Lao Yuan owes me Lao Zhang, what's wrong, can't I play my temper?

So this game of chess is placed in front of Yuan Shikai, how can we play it to stop Zhang Xun's mouth and solve this problem?

Very simple, the braided army's robbery in Nanjing City is the best reason.

However, this incident may not have been done by Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai is not that stupid.It certainly wasn't Feng Guozhang's doing it, and Lao Feng didn't lack such a mind.As long as Yuan Shikai and Feng Guozhang have a tacit understanding, Lao Feng will fall in love, march slowly, let some bandits mix in, and someone will give some advice to the bandits so that they can get the blue uniforms of the braided army to wear. Let go and make a fortune, and things will move forward more and more logically.

Therefore, no one counted against Zhang Xun, but he was successfully recruited.

Therefore, in this inexplicable battle, He Haiming, who defended the city, and Zhang Xun, who attacked the city, were both assassinated, but they would never be able to say clearly who assassinated them.

It was the law of the game of human nature that plotted against them.
