211 people's grievances

Shanghai. In Cheng Dequan's house.

Zhang Yu read the instructions sent by President Yuan to Cheng Dequan like the imperial edict:

"According to the State Council's telegram to the governor of Jiangsu Province Cheng Dequan on the 17th, "On the 15th, the Eighth Division and other officers stationed in Ning asked for the declaration of independence. Dequan's old illness was severe, and it was difficult to come to Shanghai for treatment today." In addition, Ying Dehong said, "I will hand over the governor's office with the division commanders" and so on. The governor has the responsibility to treat the army and defend the land. It seems that he is sick and abandons his post. Why should he treat the people of Jiangsu? Gu Nian said that the governor saved the place in the past, and the public opinion was still very impressed. Although he was unable to resist the bandits this time, he was in a hurry, and he was very close to those who were willing to rebel. Ying Dehong was in Shanghai in advance, and the situation can also be true. The anti-bandit and other destructive things have become destructive, and the people are teething. Now Jiangxi and Shandong are attacking and suppressing, and there are many traitors, and the mouth of the lake is flat. Zhang Xun's former team has arrived in Xuzhou. Cheng Dequan and Ying Dehong, that is, in the nearest place, they temporarily set up the administrative departments of military, government and civil affairs; and Cheng Dequan's division commander Zhang drove, etc., chose the strong military and police, strictly guarded the pass, and quickly recovered.

On the one hand, each belongs to the military and police, and the commercial and civilian groups to prevent bandits and protect the good people. The post of the governor and civil affairs is crucial, and it is important to maintain the hearts of the people, and not to live up to the purpose of the president to eliminate violence and peace. As soon as the soldiers gather, they will save the people and unify the country. The governor of the civil affairs minister is still good, and his thoughts are difficult, and the period is too late! This order."

Cheng Ying and the two of them, who received this order, said firmly, "I respect the president's order!"

Zhang Jian stared at Cheng Dequan and Ying Dehong for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "I said you don't need to panic. The president will definitely give you a chance to make contributions!"

Cheng Ying gradually stretched their eyebrows and said with a smile, "I will definitely not disappoint the president!"

Zhang Qi's eyes flowed and said, "You temporarily set up a temporary agency in the Shanghai Concession to handle the incident."

......

Nanjing. Governor's Office of Jiangsu Province.

Huang Xing put his hands behind his back, wore a pair of military boots full of mud, and kept pacing and said, "Zhang Shizhao is appointed as the secretary-general, Huang Kaiyuan is appointed as the chief of staff, He Chengjun is the adjutant, and Zhao Zhengping is the director of the military station. Because Zhang Zi, the commander of the 1st Division, was a literati and could not fight, he was transferred to the chief of staff of the governor, appointed Hong Chengdian as the commander of the 1st Division, and appointed Ma Jinchun as the commander of the fortress... He asked Bai Wenwei to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Yuan Army in Anhui and deploy the military to Bengbu. At the same time, Leng Yu led the 3rd Division to immediately launch an attack on the Beiyang Army stationed in Hanzhuang; Liu Jianfan, the commander of the cavalry regiment of the 8th Division, led the machine gun company attached to the 29th regiment of the division and 1 battalion of cavalry, artillery and engineering to form a mixed detachment to the front line of Xuzhou to support the 3rd Division; the commander of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division led the brigade to follow up; Zhou Ying Shi led the 2nd brigade of the 1st Division to Linhuaiguan to assist Anhui's Yuan army to attack Ni Sichong's headquarters of the Northern Army; sent Hong Chengdian to Bengbu to restrain the mixed detachment of the 8th Division and the troops of the 1st Division to Xuzhou and Linhuaiguan, and to organize the defense along the railway line south of Xuzhou; the rest of the 1st and 8th Divisions were responsible for the south. Defense around Beijing. ......”

Huang Xing's orders were issued one after another from the governor's office...

Leng Yu returned to Xuzhou and immediately collected the troops. Before the whole division was concentrated, he led his troops to move in the direction of Liguoyi, 30 kilometers north of Xuzhou, demolished several railways south of Hanzhuang, occupied the Xuzhou Telegraph Bureau, and cut off north-south traffic and communication.

......

Zhang Xun threw his wrinkled military cap aside and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair.

A personal guard came in with a basin of hot water, put it at Zhang Xun's feet, hugged his feet and took off his military boots. A stench immediately made the personal guard's head dizzy.

Another personal soldier ran in: "Marshal, the third division of Xuzhou is cold, come to meet the rebels. Fang Yupu asked for an urgent call!"

Zhang Xun kicked over the basin and said viciously, "Just in time, just in time, I was going to kill him, but he came to die."

"Marshal, don't you wait for Yuan Shikai's order?"

"I'm a military order!" Zhang Xun smiled and said, "Call my adopted son, Zhang Wensheng, the leader of the former army of Wuwei, to take the 3rd Battalion to Hanzhuang to help the battle."

......

Zhang Wensheng's 3rd battalion braided soldiers and Tian Zhong Yu's patrol battalion from Yanzhou successively reached the front line of Hanzhuang and joined the battle. Leng Yu's army was attacked from left to right by the Northern Army, killing the left and right of the Leng army, so he had to abandon the armored soldiers and be defeated.

Zhang Tianhe's troops chased after him. It was when Xuzhou was transported to the military car and got off at Liguoyi Station to help the cold retreat. The cold retreat returned to the battle. After fighting for a long time, he repulsed the two armies of Zhang and Tian. Zhang Juntian's army is divided into the north of the post, and the cold collection is stationed in the south of the post. The next day, Zhang Xun's army was transported to four wild cannons, that is, ordered by Zhang Xun to inject them into the cold army. The gun power was very fierce, and on the one hand, the cold camp was scattered. On the other hand, the cold camp still wanted to resist the enemy. It was worth a bullet to fly. It was impartial. At that time, it was impossible to dodge, and the bullet had penetrated into the side, and it couldn't help it. He shouted and fainted on the ground; after the cold army, he fled and immediately dispersed. When Zhang Xun saw that the cold camp had been broken, Fang ordered the gun to stop. All the south of the war have become scorched earth, and even the station has been destroyed.

When Zhang Jun took advantage of the victory and went straight forward, he reached Xuzhou. Inside and outside Xu City, he was invincible, and an old Zhang occupied him. The braided handsome man is in the limelight.

......

Huang Xing didn't know if he was lost. He fantasized about using Zhang Xun's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and dissatisfaction with Yuan Shikai's mood of fooling the old dynasty and mobilizing Zhang Xun to defect.

Zhang Xun received the letter and read it. Inner cloud:

Zhang Juntongjian: Jiangsu and Jiangxi are independent, and they are all self-provoked by Yuan Shikai. The three governors have gone to office, and nothing has happened in the south. What is the purpose of mobiling troops to the south? Russia helped Mongolia, and forced Zhangjiakou in the south. The external disaster was urgent. He did not guard against it. Instead, he ceded the land to Russia, and with heavy troops ** the hinterland, he bereaved the people, and destroyed the republic. As for this extreme, who can stand it again? Jiujiang fought against the Yuan army for the first time, and his righteous indignation was respectable. In one corner, the whole country spoke at the same time. The public and foreign inspection of the general trend, the internal care of Zongbang, will certainly send deep sympathy and suppress the uprising. Whoo!

Shikai is a traitor in the Qing Dynasty. He is extremely dangerous. Every time he gains power, he is good at it. The change of Wuxu is particularly chilling. In the battle of the restoration of the previous year, he fooled the old dynasty and stole power. After that, widows could be bullied, and orphans could be insulted. In his name, he used the imperial army and finally replaced him. Since entering the Republic of China, Shikai has been more unscrupulous, full of conspiracy, thieves and empress dowager; bribes and sting the royal family's expenses. Shikai is not only the great king of the Republic of China, but also the thief minister of the Qing Dynasty. No matter who is, he can apply for it. Gongjiuwan's military charm, Wei Chongyu, now the cold army has blocked the Yuan army in Xuzhou. Gong Gou led a brigade to go straight to Jinan, then Yuan's army was frightened, the overall situation will be determined, the country will be recreated, that is, it will be our government. More Chen:

This time Xingshi, but for the purpose of overthrowing Yuan, the thieves have gone, even if they return to the field.

Those who attach to Yuan will not be questioned. Military and national affairs are all virtuous. Xing is this language, the sky and the sun learn from it, Lin Ying Shenchi, looking at the Ming religion. Huang Xing, the commander-in-chief of Jiangsu Province, knocked on Yuan.

Zhang Xun finished reading it, torew the book to pieces, and said suddenly, "I only knew that there was the Qing Dynasty before, but now I only know that there is President Yuan. What kind of Huang Xing, dare to speak? Forget the bastard! Why don't I** for you?"

......

Huang Xing also sent a telegram to Chen Yu, the supervisor of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and Li Dingxin, the commander-in-chief of the navy, to persuade him to surrender.

Chen Li, the supervisor of the Manufacturing Bureau, and Li Dingxin, the commander-in-chief of the navy, received an urgent message from Huang Xing and met to discuss secretly.

Chen Yu sat on the sofa like sitting on a needle blanket and said thoughtfully, "Jiang Ning is independent, and Huang Xing Chuanyu belongs to each other. Chen Qimei responded at the same time. He served as the commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Army and has repeatedly attacked the manufacturing bureau. Although he has retreated to Wusongkou in three battles and three north, the situation in Shanghai is not optimistic. Huang Xing said it politely and easily, 'Please transfer the Northern Army to leave the situation to avoid provocation'. Is the Northern Army so easy to transfer?

"Huang Xing's ability, even Cheng De dares not kill him. It can't be a big deal." Li Dingxin's shaved head shook slightly in the light and said, "Nanjing can't keep it. Li Liejun is in Jiangxi, and I don't think it will last long. If Chen Qimei wants to take Shanghai, will Qinghong help those ruffians? No way! If it is the guard regiment and teaching regiment arranged by the madman Li in Shanghai, I think there is still a possibility of competing with the Beiyang Army. However, the madman Li has not declared independence so far, and his attitude is self-evident.

"I think so too." Chen Yu said gloomily, "We will send this telegram from Huang Xing to Beijing according to the facts. Please handle it?"

The two are discussing.

A member of the staff of the manufacturing bureau ran in and said, "No, Longhua Pharmaceutical Factory was occupied by the Song Army again. All the overall clerks, craftsmen and other servants, etc., avoided it."

Li Dingxin asked urgently, "What's going on?"

"The Songjiang army foolishly thought about it, that is, pushing Niu Yongjian as the commander-in-chief, recruiting a new army, selecting the strong, sending the leader Shen Baoyi, Tian Jialu and others as the head of the division, and went to southern Hunan first to fight against the Northern Army. As soon as he arrived in Longhua, that is, outside the door of the manufacturing branch, a platoon of guns were opened and demonstrated first. The army was neatly and entered the factory one after another. No one in the factory resisted. When Songjun inspected the igniting medicine bullets and other boxes, pasted the seals, and hung a white flag in front of the factory, ordered the factory director and others to strictly defend, and immediately pulled the team to Shanghai. Probably to attack the manufacturing bureau... Two adults, run for your life quickly!"

The committee member ran away after saying that.

Director Chen and Commander-in-Chief Li are eager to have a good law.

Li Dingxin was about to speak, but he heard the guard outside say, "General Zheng Rucheng, see you!"

Li Dingxin turned his face and said to Chen Yu, "It's saved - come on, invite him in!"

Zheng Rucheng came. Seeing this situation, he said to Li Dingxin, "The whole army is guarded here. The president ordered the commander-in-chief of the navy to be completely restrained. Now the guns are sufficient, and there are warships moored and full defense. How to deal with it? When the commander-in-chief issues an order, he will wander blindly."

Li Dingxin hesitated for a long time and said, "For such a big event, we must call the government and ask for instructions to handle it."

Zheng Rucheng said hurriedly, "According to the fool's opinion, the government ordered the public to stay here. Of course, it requires public protection. Even if you are ordered to come, you should also help the public. Why wait for the call and then prepare? There will be a compound tone tomorrow, which is not what I expected.

Li Dingxin returned to normal and said softly, "The soldiers are not enough. What can I do?"

Zheng Rucheng said in a rude voice, "To tell you the truth, I have already arrived in Beijing. Please send troops here as soon as possible without worry."

Chen Yushang's face was full of sadness, and he was at a loss. He said, "I'm afraid it's not urgent."

Zheng Rucheng got up and took two steps. His gloomy eyes were gray and dark. For a long time, he said, "Yesterday, the Consular Group in Shanghai had an official announcement. No matter how the two sides break up, they can't act first. Otherwise, the lives and property of outsiders should start the war first and serve as insurance. I have this information everywhere, and I should do the same. I want not to fight for a while, but I'm prepared, so as not to be in a temporary dilemma.

Li Dingxin was still hesitant. Zheng Rucheng said impatiently, "Rucheng made a contract with the public today. I will defend the warship. I will defend this game. If the party comes to attack, I will fight against the enemy, and the public must fire a gun to help. Although it is difficult to reverse the success or failure, it is not necessarily impossible to be able to work together.
