The Republic is so violent

189 Chapter 1 The Resurrection of Chaos ([-])
01 is so cyclical
On the day Yuan Shikai announced the abolition of the imperial system, a telegram was secretly sent from Nanning.

It was Long Jinguang's son Long Shaoyi who sent this telegram. He and his father conquered Yunnan and passed through Guangxi, but they were arrested by their father-in-law Lu Rongting.So Long Shaoyi sent an emergency power to her mother-in-law, begging her to save her life for the sake of her daughter.

However, Long Shaoyi's mother-in-law did not receive the call for help, but was intercepted by his father-in-law.

So Lu Rongting pretended to be his mother-in-law, and sent a telegram to his son-in-law, saying: Your father-in-law is very fierce, not to be trifled with, unless you behave better, if you can make your uncle Long Jiguang in Guangdong declare independence, I will take care of you for you Say something to your father-in-law and let you go.

After receiving the call back, Long Shaoyi burst into tears and said: What kind of rotten mother-in-law is this? Don't even think about it. If your son-in-law has this ability, would he be arrested by you?

The father and son Long Jinguang and Long Shaoyi had no choice but to squat in the room and send telegrams to Guangdong Longjiguang from morning to night, muttering like a mantra: Be independent, be independent, please, be independent quickly.

Lu Rongting and Liang Qichao called Zhang Mingqi and Long Jiguang in Guangdong, asking them to become independent immediately.The combination of Zhang and Long happened to be the old leadership team in Guangzhou City on the eve of the [-] Revolution. This team had to be disbanded because of the riots caused by the party members in Guangzhou City. But now the old team has returned. nest fire.

Received a flood of telegrams every day, urging independence, Zhang Mingqi had no choice but to discuss with Long Jiguang: Guangzi, look at our team, why do we keep encountering the same thing?How about we declare our independence as last time?
Long Jiguang said: I am not opposed to independence, but the problem is that there are three groups of people who are causing trouble in Guangdong. Cen Chunxuan and Lu Rongting who arrested my brother are the first group; Sun Wen and Zhu Zhixin are the other group; Zhu Zhixin’s teacher, Chen Jiongming, runs the single gang, which is also a group. To which group should we declare our independence?
Zhang Mingqi said: "Sun Wen's group of people is definitely not good, they are so fierce, they are wrong to people, don't provoke them."Lu Rongting and the others can't do it either, they are too soft, they are right about things and wrong about people.Even if you followed Lu Rongting, Sun Wen and the others would still make trouble.I think it's just people like Chen Jiongming, say they are right, they are always right about people, say they are right about people, they are always right about things, in short, they are muddle-headed, confused, let's just follow Chen Jiongming, Might be able to fool the past.

So Zhang Mingqi announced: Guangdong has become independent, and the people of Guangdong have stood up.He also sent someone to contact Chen Jiongming, and soon after Chen Jiongming called, Zhang Mingqi opened it and saw that it read: ... Jiongming has something to say, he is a traitorous and independent husband who can pretend to be a monarchy under the pretense of public opinion. Officials will also force the people to push them and pretend to be independent.Now when the Yuan family is poor, they pretend to abolish the imperial government.If the Long family has a chance, it will overthrow independence, just fooling the people.He is a shameless villain repeatedly, so he can't do anything.In short, if you don't go to celebrate your father, you will be in trouble. My righteous teacher vows to sweep away the demon atmosphere, and I will do my best.

Zhang Mingqi had a headache watching: This Chen Jiongming, he wrote so much, what does he mean?

Long Jiguang said: "Old Chen said that you are falsely independent."

Zhang Mingqi was angry: Why does he say that I am falsely independent?
Long Jiguang: You see, there is an explanation above, saying that you are a capricious and despicable villain.

Zhang Mingqi was even angrier: Why does he call me a capricious and despicable villain?
Long Jiguang: It is also written above that because you are falsely independent, you are a capricious and despicable villain.

Zhang Mingqi: Don't argue in such a circular way, don't do it.

Long Jiguang: Lao Chen won't let us be independent, why don't we follow Sun Wen's path?
Zhang Mingqi: ...then try it.

A few days later, on April 4th, Zhang Mingqi happily called Long Jiguang over: "Guangzi, come quickly, Sun Wen has called back, listen to me and read to you... What kind of poison is Long's? The crime is by no means lighter than Yuan.Today, under the pressure of the Democratic Party and the Revolutionary Army on all sides, it has also declared independence. Compared with Zhang Mingqi's pseudo-independence during the Xinhai period, it is especially difficult to borrow... Listen clearly, no light boy, Sun Wen said you are a poison.

Long Ji Guangnu: Why does he call me a poison?

Zhang Mingqi: Sun Wen has an explanation, because you are falsely independent.

Long Jiguang was even angrier: Why does he say that I am a fake independence?
Zhang Mingqi: Hasn’t it already been explained?Since you are a poison, independence must be false.

Long Jiguang: ...This is really a cycle, I think we can only go to Lu Rongting.

02 Mysterious Case of the Messenger's Murder
After receiving telegrams from Guangdong Zhang Mingqi and Long Jiguang requesting independence, Lu Rongting and Liang Qichao were overjoyed, so they called Tang Juedun, the president of the Bank of China, and said: Lao Tang, the Republic of China is very lively, but no one hears you , why don't you take this opportunity to go to Guangzhou to settle Zhang Mingqi and Long Jiguang, and the history books have to leave a few lines for you.

Tang Juedun was overjoyed, and said: Thank you, everyone, thank you for giving Lao Tang such an opportunity, and I will set off right away to settle Guangdong for you.

Tang Juedun set off and went to Zhuhai. There was a checkpoint in front of him. Hundreds of soldiers were searching passers-by. When it was Tang Juedun's turn, an officer asked kindly: "I see that your guest is very handsome. Could it be that you are sent from Guangxi?" emissary?If so, please follow me to Guangzhou, our Dragon General has been waiting for you for a long time.

Tang Juedun was overjoyed: It was me, I was Tang Juedun, the envoy from Guangxi.

The officer smiled and said: Sure enough, Mr. Tang is here.

The man took Tang Juedun to the side of the road: Stand up Mr. Tang.Then he raised his hand and said: Ready!There was a sound of swiping, and the soldiers raised their guns and pointed them at Tang Juedun.Tang Juedun was horrified, and shouted urgently: "No..." The officer laughed: "If you want it, let it go!"

There was a loud gunshot, and Mr. Tang Juedun was killed on the spot.

The news quickly spread back to Zhaoqing, Lu Rongting was furious when he heard the news, and cursed: Zhang Mingqi and Long Jiguang, these two bastards, dare to deceive me and kill the envoy without permission.It was ordered that the Guangxi army invaded Guangdong on a large scale, and would rather fight until there was not a single soldier left, but also avenge this blood.

On that day, 5000 Guangxi troops arrived in Sanshui.

At the time of dispatching troops and generals, it was suddenly reported that there were guests from Guangdong asking to see them.Lu Rongting was so angry that he didn't see him, but the other party refused to leave. After dawdling for a long time, Lu Rongting came out angrily. When he saw the two people opposite him, he immediately became angry. Damn it, it's you two bastards, how dare you come to see me? , I will kill you now!
The two people who came were Zhang Mingqi and Long Jiguang from Guangdong. Seeing that Lu Rongting pulled out his gun in anger, the two hurried forward and held them down: "Brother Lu, calm down, calm down, Brother Lu, since we are here, you should know that the soup Juedun's death was definitely not our fault, but we were afraid that you might misunderstand, so we risked our lives to explain it.

Lu Rongting shouted: If it wasn't you two who did it, who else could it be?

Zhang Mingqi said: Brother Lu, to be honest, we really don't know who the murderer is.But on the way here, we pondered for a long time, pondered over and over, and the more we pondered, the more it looked like Cai Naihuang did it.This Cai Naihuang was sent by Yuan Keding to Guangzhou to raise funds for the imperial system. He opposed our Guangdong independence from the bottom of his heart.He must have heard the news that your envoy is coming, so he robbed and killed you on the way, deliberately sabotaging you, don't be fooled by him.

No need to think about it at this time, Lu Rongting also understood that Zhang Mingqi and Long Jiguang should not have lied.The two of them came to Zhaoqing in person, and it is up to you to kill or cut them, so the meaning is very clear.If Tang Juedun was really killed by these two people, they would not have confessed so painstakingly and eagerly.

Now that things are clear, sit down and negotiate.

The two parties negotiated and drew up five agreements. If Sun Wen's Chinese Revolutionary Party saw these five items, they would definitely vomit blood with anger:

1. After the independence of Guangdong, the leadership team did not move, and Long Jiguang was the governor. Whoever refuses to accept him will be destroyed.

2. Zhaoqing set up the headquarters of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Cen Chunxuan, the old monster, was the commander of the capital.

3. Punish the culprit Cai Naihuang and sentence him to death.

4. Speed ​​up the Northern Expedition and kill Yuan Shikai.

5. Cen Chunxuan came forward to settle the militias in various parts of Guangdong.

In this agreement, the most unlucky one was Cai Naihuang. Long Jiguang returned to Guangdong, and the first thing he did was to shoot him.In addition, the influence of Cen Chunxuan, the old monster, has finally expanded to Guangdong, and this means that in the southwest region, Sun Wen's Chinese Revolutionary Party has no place to stand.

03 The house is full of mother Xipi

Although the imperial movement encountered strong resistance from within Beiyang and the southwest, Yuan Shikai remained emotionally stable.He always believed that in his life, he had never done anything to be sorry to anyone.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Yuan Shikai has no one who is sorry.This guy is really a genius organizer of social activities, no matter what kind of weirdo, if he falls into his hands, he can harmoniously match you with others according to your strengths, so that everyone in this organization system , can make a lot of money.

Imagine being as treacherous as Tang Tianxi and as stupid as Jiang Chaozong. If these two people hadn't met Yuan Shikai, they might not be able to fill their stomachs if they spent their entire lives together.Even such a person didn't suffer from Yuan Shikai's side, so it can be seen that Yuan Shikai really has a way of seeing people.

But on April 1916, 4, there was finally someone who could point to Yuan Shikai's nose and yell: "I lost your mother Yuan Shikai, you are sorry for me!"
This person is Qu Yingguang, a patrol envoy of Zhejiang Province.

The official position of patrol envoy is very peculiar. It was Yuan Shikai's original creation. He has the right to supervise and supervise the local officials. He also said that Yuan Shikai is a genius organizer of social activities, and now there is a military supervision system. It can be seen that Yuan Shikai is an out-and-out ignorant man. I really don't know who helped him come up with this trick.

Then talk about Qu Yingguang.It is said that that night, Qu Yingguang was sleeping soundly on the couch in the bedroom with his wife in his arms, when he suddenly opened his eyes, he heard the noise of people outside, and he arrived at the door of his house in an instant.Then there was a loud bang, the door had been smashed, and countless people rushed in.At that time, Qu Yingguang reacted quickly, jumped up with a whoosh, quickly opened the rear window, and jumped out.

He didn't hit the ground.Instead, they landed on the furry ball-shaped monsters one by one.Hearing a cry in the darkness, suddenly the lanterns and torches were all lit, and Qu Yingguang was not without surprise to find that he landed on countless human heads.Countless hands stretched out from all directions, holding him firmly: If you catch this guy, you'll know that this guy will definitely jump out of the window and escape. Sure enough, you won't be told to run this time.

Just like that, Qu Yingguang, who was heartbroken, was carried all the way to the general's office by those strange people, and threw it on the ground after entering the door: Qu Yingguang, you are now the governor of our Zhejiang Province, hurry up and sign the independence statement, hurry up, Everyone is waiting to post it.

What and what?Qu Yingguang was perplexed: Who are you guys? You scared me half to death. Now I'm the governor again. Where's Zhu Rui?Why didn't I see him?

At this time Tong Baoxuan, the brigade commander of the second brigade, came over and explained, "That's what happened, Zhu Rui didn't know what kind of nerves he had, and he wanted to trap and kill me."What do you say he is doing nothing to trap and kill me?It was really unreasonable, I was so angry that I came to him to reason, but he escaped through the back door.It is said that he went to Nanjing and partnered with Feng Guozhang to engage in Yuan Shikai.We in Zhejiang also plan to take advantage of this opportunity to become independent. Independence requires the most influential person to come out and be the governor.No one has as much influence as you, Qu Yingguang, so, this governor is yours now.Be content, you, sleeping at home with your wife in your arms, you can sleep like a superintendent, who in this life can encounter such a good thing as you?Hurry up and sign, and I will let you put on your clothes after signing.

Qu Yingguang: ...Really, I don't have any clothes on.Telling you that I will not be the governor, it is too dangerous, I solemnly recommend you Tong Baoxuan for this position, please raise your hand if you agree.

Tong Baoxuan: Qu Yingguang, it seems that you really don't plan to wear any more clothes?
Qu Yingguang: ...How about this? Since independence is the will of the people, then I will obey the will of the people.However, I really can't do it as the governor, and I can't do it without clothes. I can at most maintain local order in the name of patrol envoy and commander-in-chief.

After all the talk and tears, Qu Yingguang finally moved the other party and reached an agreement according to his request.Then Qu Yingguang announced the independence of Zhejiang, and secretly sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai while people were not paying attention, the text said:

At [-] o'clock in the night on April [-]th, soldiers and civilians flocked to the military office suddenly, and the general disappeared. The police force should be dispatched secretly to protect the office.The next morning, military officers and gentlemen forced Yingguang to be the governor based on the relationship between local order and vowed to die. The Commander of Zhejiang, in order to maintain local order, refused to accept his resignation, and this morning he began to fulfill his promise to maintain law and order by maintaining the army and the people.Now the hearts of the people have been settled, and the order remains constant.

Although this telegram was secretly photographed, Qu Yingguang should have secretly photographed this telegram out of reason.Because he was the Zhejiang patrol envoy appointed by Yuan Shikai, but at this time he suddenly led Zhejiang to become independent, which was tantamount to a knife in Yuan Shikai's heart.He can't be so ruthless, it's a bit too heartless.Furthermore, he still couldn't grasp whether he would succeed in overthrowing Yuan, what if he failed?If it fails, he has already reserved a backup here.

In a word, Qu Yingguang does not want to be sorry to anyone, not to the people of Zhejiang, nor to Yuan Shikai, let alone himself.In short, to be exquisite in all directions and open in all directions, this is the highest art of being a human being.

But guess what Yuan Shikai did?

No matter how hard you guess, Yuan Shikai actually published Qu Yingguang's secret telegram in the newspaper.

Yuan Shikai can't do this, such a method will kill Qu Yingguang.

That's right, Qu Yingguang's old life was almost ruined because of this.

Qu Yingguang's secret telegram was released by Yuan Shikai. In an instant, there was an uproar in the military circles in Zhejiang. Countless soldiers rushed into the general's office with guns in their hands. Hundreds of black muzzles hit Qu Yingguang's head.The room was filled with Niang Xipi's angry scolding, which made Qu Yingguang bewildered and puzzled.

This Yuan Shikai, why did he sell me?

Qu Yingguang couldn't figure it out.

His great governor, just like this, is not counted.Lu Gongwang, a powerful figure in the military, took the opportunity to snatch this official position, and issued a telegram asking for Yuan.

04 Heroes when the situation is exhausted

The reason why Yuan Shikai released the secret telegram and betrayed Qu Yingguang was actually very simple.

He is at the end of his rope, and all the relatives are deserted.

When it comes to the end of the road and the betrayal of relatives, the former is the time, and the latter is the trend.Time and potential are interlinked with each other.When a person is in fortune, he will naturally have power, but once he loses power, fortune will not be there.At the end of the road, people will inevitably betray their relatives.If people betray their relatives, they will inevitably end up in a dead end. These two are two in one, one in two.

Life is like this, just like Yuan Shikai.When you are lucky, followers will come in an endless stream. At this time, your mistakes are ignored, your achievements are magnified, and your power and influence are growing.And once the fortunes are reversed, the whole process will be just the opposite. Your followers will start to complain and leave you one by one. Your achievements will be ignored, and your mistakes will be infinitely magnified.

However, when did Yuan Shikai start to reverse the situation?

The people around Yuan Shikai analyzed that: everything was due to the betrayal of his confidant Tang Tianxi.

Before Tang Tianxi, although Beiyang had some criticisms about his founder, he did not dare to treat him with hostility.For example, Zhang Jingyao, such as Feng Yuxiang, at most they communicated with Cai E's national defense army secretly, and exchanged eyebrows, and they definitely did not have the guts to rebel openly.

But Tang Tianxi did this. He brazenly attacked the Beiyang Army, forcing Ma Jizeng to commit suicide.Before Tang Tianxi, no one had dared to do this. They came from Beiyang, they were from the same family, and their friendship was inseparable.

But Tang Tianxi didn't have this kind of psychological barrier, because he was born as an actor, and he no longer believed in the true love in the world after being on stage for a long time.Or in other words, the true feelings in the world are just for him to show to others in order to gain benefits for himself.

When Tang Tianxi volunteered to go to the battlefield, he probably didn't think that he would betray Yuan Shikai, but because he didn't have the slightest loyalty to Yuan Shikai, everything was just a show, so for him, betrayal was only a matter of time .It's just that he chose the right node for this betrayal, just at the moment when the Beiyang forces collapsed, so his role in the destruction of Yuan Shikai was immediately highlighted.

In this way, Tang Tianxi's betrayal was just a trigger, which detonated the collapse of Beiyang, a huge power group.

Speaking of power, Yuan Shikai's biggest power is Beiyang.Beiyang has become a huge black hole, sucking everything in.Yuan Shikai took Beiyang and commanded the world, and he was invincible.But victory contains the seeds of failure. Yuan Shikai would never have imagined that when Beiyang's power exceeded his ability to control, this terrifying black hole would turn its back on him, choose the opportunity to backfire, and eventually swallow up the founder Yuan Shikai.

This is the law of time and situation.

When you get the time and the power, it may not be because you have done something right, but because you have followed the law of the time and the power.When you lose, you lose power, it may not be because you did something wrong, you are always you, it's just the regular operation that makes you lose everything before.

Yuan Shikai's disadvantage is that he did not study.If he read the last paragraph of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and saw how powerful Cao Cao and Cao Aman were when he was alive and coerced the emperor to command the princes?But Cao Cao refused to be called emperor until his death, but died naturally.Looking at Sima Yi again, it is easy to invade the Cao family, but Sima Yi did not dare to take over the Cao family, but like Cao Cao, he left this matter to his son, why?

It's just because of Cao Cao and Sima, they dare not run out of time and power.They must leave room for doing things, so as not to reverse the situation and force backlash.
