213 people's tears

It's quiet in the middle of the night. The light of the small building of the Military Commission is still on.

Li wanted to pay attention to the map and quickly calculated the gains and losses. In his opinion, Nanjing wasted by Huang Xing and others, which wasted this feng shui treasure. If the owner of this land was changed to him, then the second Zhu Yuanzhang would come out.

In Shanghai, Chen Qimei did not take down this Chinese money bag, but did not take it down the Qinghong gang hooligans in the whole city. Unexpectedly, he fought three battles and three times in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau! In the end, Cheng Dequan, who was stupidly released by Huang Xing, gathered a group of gentry merchants and forcibly "persuaded" to retreat to Wu Songkou. The wallet I got was lost again.

Without the money bag, Huang Xing doesn't want to guard the feng shui treasure land of Nanjing!

Li wanted to shake his head: "What a pity?"

......

At dawn.

Nanjing citizens heard the sound of gunfire and saw a large number of refugees fleeing from the north side of the Jingpu railway line.

In the Jiangsu Governor's Office, Secretary-General Zhang Shizhao, Chief of Staff Huang Kaiyuan, Adjutant He Chengjun, Director Zhao Zhengping's Military Station and other Jiangsu generals who fought against Yuan Jun and Huang Xing were all there.

Zhao Zhengping's face was a little puffy and said to Huang Xing, "Cheng Dequan, a capricious villain, he telegramed and said that all the messages of Nanjing independence were made in his name, and said that he knelt down and begged him to declare independence, but he never refused. Now, Cheng Dequan and Ying Dehong secretly summoned the Soviet navy and army police to plan and cooperate with Yuan Shikai's activities!"

Adjutant He Chengjun said, "Look at Cheng Dequan's electricity!" He asked Mr. "cancellation of the name of Yuan, throw himself into the armor, and blame himself to thank the world." If you still insist on the idea, you must take Jiangsu's life and property as a desperate gamble, that is, it is against the public will of the whole country, that is, it is the public enemy of Jiangsu. Damn it!"

Secretary-General Zhang Shizhao said, "I should have killed him with a knife at the beginning!" It's not that he is demagogue in Shanghai. Yingshi has been in those manufacturing bureaus for a long time! With the support of the Manufacturing Bureau, we won't be so embarrassed!"

Chief of Staff Huang Kaiyuan said, "I regret that I didn't have Li Shuai's advice."

This is the deepest word hidden in Huang Xing's heart, but it can't be expressed so clearly. Huang Xing couldn't help taking a pause and looked at the bright sky outside. For a long time, he nodded and sighed, "What else can I do?"

The defeat on the front line of Xuzhou and the political blow of Cheng Dequan made Huang Xing, who is in Nanjing, face a serious deterioration in the military and political situation and is at a loss.

"The Nanjing military not only received a secret telegram that Cheng Dequan canceled his independence, but also Zhang Pengqi, the battalion commander of the Nanjing Guard, also received a telegram from Cheng Dequan to capture Mr. Cheng Dequan!" Zhao Zhengping said coldly.

Zhang Zi immediately persuaded him, "It can't be done. The soldier's heart has changed. The guard will be unfavorable to his safety. The gentleman will go unhurriedly to protect himself."

Hong Chengdian also persuaded: "If you fall into the hands of the Beiyang Army, it will be a disaster for the revolutionary cause. It's better to evacuate Nanjing.

Some people began to persuade Huang Xing to leave, while others persuaded him to stay.

In order to let the commander-in-chief stay, He Haiming knew that the Yuan army was on the way to escape, and some of them had even been destroyed. He said calmly, "The Yuan army fought very well. No unit has been defeated. If the commander-in-chief stays in Nanjing, he can stimulate the fighting spirit of the troops. If the commander-in-chief escapes and the news spreads, there will be no soldier who will resist the attack of the Beiyang army. The whole Jiangsu army will fight against Yuan, and even the whole southern army will collapse without fighting.

Huang Xing was very sad and angry and tried to commit suicide.

He Haiming was extremely disgusted: "Okay, sir, if you want to go, you can go. Make your own decision. Anyway, I won't leave!"

After repeated exhortations from his subordinates, Huang Xing gave up the idea of suicide and decided to leave Nanjing.

At this time, Li Chengwan left the governor's office. Huang Xing's withdrawal was kept secret. Only a small number of people in the head of the governor's office and the Yuan army knew it, but they did not know the destination of the evacuation. In addition to his wife Xu Zonghan, a bunch of secretaries only brought Zhang Zi.

Before evacuating, Huang Xing called Long Ying, the Hubei District Government Office in Nanjing, asking him to convey to Li Xiang that Nanjing was close to complete destruction and asked for his support.

The group took two carriages to open the gate of the governor's mansion when the sun came out. The Japanese fire wheel Shizuoka Maru was waiting to hit at the Shimotsuki wharf. Seeing the carriage coming, everyone was very quiet.

The morning wind blew over from time to time with the faint sound of cannons. Huang Xing's face was expressionless, but Ms. Xu Zonghan looked around from time to time.

The wind blew on the platform.

Xu Zonghan asked, "Are you going to Japan?"

Huang Xing did not answer.

The entourage did not know the destination of the trip, nor did the secretary Zhang Zi.

Looking at the stained fire wheel and standing on the unmanned platform, Huang Xing felt a blank sense of loneliness: "This is about to start to escape. It's really like the subjugation of the country."

The fire wheel anchored, and Huang Xing briefly explained a few words to the secretary and then got on the ship.

Although the wind was a little warm in late July, Huang Xing felt that the wind from the river was so cold.

Huang Xing, who got on the boat, lay horizontally in his seat with his head resting on the armrest. His wife put on his coat for him, because there was no blanket in the car.

After the attendants got off the ship, the fireboat started without siren. After Huang Xing left Nanjing, Zhang Zi, Hong Chengdian and Leng Yu also ran away immediately.

Acting Civil Affairs Chief Cai Yin urgently invited Chen Zhiji, the eighth division commander Zhou Yingshi, the commander of the first division, Ma Jinchun, the commander of the fortress, Mao Naibao, the commander of the gendarmes, Wu Zhongxin, the director of the police department, and Ning Shen Qiu Jiheng, to hold an "exordinary meeting"!

Cai Yin made a speech, based on the conclusions of the military leaders and the fact that Commander Huang withdrew, he conveyed the news of the deterioration of the war situation.

Listening to Cai Yin's speech, Chen Zhiji, the eighth division commander attending the meeting, said angrily: "Mr. Cai's report is like a report of a small captain, and he does not grasp the situation of the whole line. What exactly is war? How does Nanjing deal with it? It must be shown whether it is war or surrender. Like a battle, where to fight? Nanjing? Or somewhere other than Nanjing? If you give up Nanjing, how to arrange the evacuation of Nanjing people..."

Chen Zhiji stressed that the most important topic in Nanjing now is how to deal with the people. If it is not properly arranged as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable and the political impact is very serious.

He Haiming advocated sticking to Seoul: "Although giving up Nanjing does not mean that Yuan will fail, the people will lose their trust in the second revolution, and democratic politics will be equivalent to extinction. I suggest that we stick to Nanjing. If a wheat falls into the ground, it will sprout. As long as we stick to Nanjing, the buds of democracy can grow!"

However, He Haiming's advocacy did not resonate with the participants. There was silence on the table and they all sat there. When He Haiming asked everyone for advice, no one answered.

Finally, the meeting did not adopt the opinion of sticking to Nanjing.

The seven things proposed by Chen Zhiji were decided to adopt: (i) cancel the word independence; (ii) notify Anmin; (iii) call Cheng Dudu to return to Ning; (iv) call Cheng Dudu to send a telegram to all provinces of the central government, and turn to a truce in each battlefield; (v) ask Shanghai to raise military rate to Ning; (6) Military horses are not allowed to move for the time being, and the city is not allowed to move. Outside the city, it is not allowed to move into the city outside the city; (7) The military police and civilian regiments are responsible for patrolling the inside and outside of the city.

All seven things are announced, and people's hearts are slightly settled. When sent staff officer Sheng Nanqi and the military affairs section chief Wang Chu to welcome Cheng Du. Local groups also welcomed Qiu Jiheng.

Zhicheng Du refused to return to Ning, and because the first division commander Hong Chengdian had already left, Du Huaichuan was specially sent to succeed him.

At that time, Ning Ren had publicly raised the brigade commander Zhou Yingshi and took over the first division, and when there was an electric knowledge of Cheng Du. Cheng not only refused to be appointed, but also cancelled Zhou Yingshi's brigade commander. So the military and the people were unconvinced and changed their ambitions.

and Du Huaichuan arrived at the time of Zhang Xun and Feng Guozhang. They came from Xuzhou, and Du immediately welcomed them to Guzhen.

Acting Jiangsu Civil Affairs Chief Cai Yin, 8 Division Chief Chen Zhiji, Acting 1 Division Chief Zhou Yingshi and others immediately announced the cancellation of independence, sent two telegrams to contact Yuan Shikai, and sent people to Shanghai to ask Cheng Dequan to quickly return to Nanjing to deal with the aftermath. Cheng Dequan urgently sent Du Huaichuan to Nanjing to take over the position of division commander of the 1st Division. The 3rd Division, which retreated to Fengyang, also announced the cancellation of independence.

He Haiming, who was unwilling to fail, called an extraordinary parliament in a painting boat on the Qinhuai River.

Because He Haiming waited for the arrival of a key idea: Han Hui.

Han Hui and others went to Jiangbei to launch an uprising. When they passed through Zhenjiang, they learned that Huang Xing had left Nanjing, so they entered Ning on a starry night to seek relief.

Han Hui has extensive contact with the soldiers of the 1st Division. All the 1st Division, the gendarmes, patrolmen, etc. are not his fellow villagers, that is, with his colleagues. Han Hui's name is unknown.

At that time, the 8th Division had all returned from the position, and the 1st Division was all in the city, that is, Wu Hao's Weixu Regiment was also divided into various places. The soldiers were strongly dissatisfied with the unprovoked truce, Keqiang and other unprovoked departures, and Nanjing's independence was cancelled.

So, He Haiming and Han Hui started from the Sports Division 1.

The people attending the meeting were very excited. Everyone knew that the situation was unfavorable, but no one had the courage to say discouraging words. When waiting for the meeting, they said some "good news" to each other.

Huang Haiming and Han Hui did not inform everyone of the situation of the war, but only asked everyone to unite.

Huang Haiming said, "The front is partially unfavorable, but it can be reversed soon!"

Han Hui also expounded the optimistic tone, during which he understated the words "Nanjing has the possibility of falling".

Someone put forward the proposal of "keeping Nanjing", and everyone echoed loudly.

Some people think that Commander-in-Chief Huang Xing has left, saying that it is meaningless to defend Nanjing; others say that the stasistion will only increase casualties out of thin air, and it is impossible to defeat the Beiyang Army. These objections were suddenly overwhelmed by scoldings such as " coward" and "get out of here".

"Revolutionaries and millions of patriotic citizens guard Nanjing!"

The resolution came out like this.

After an emergency meeting, the representatives of He Haiming and Han Hui and the 1st Division decided to make trouble at night and stipulated that Fuguishan Xin Cannon should be called.

However, because the cannon was released was a 40-pound empty gun, and the sound was not loud. The Grand View Building of the command post where He and Han were located was in the curtain bridge, which could not be heard, and it was heard near the governor's office, so that it could not be launched on time. However, this sound of air cannon scared Du Huaichuan, the commander of the 1st Division sent by Cheng Dequan, and made him leave in a hurry and rushed to Pukou. Feng Guozhang's army.

The soldiers of the 8th Division were eager to try when they heard the sound of empty cannons. He Haiming led more than 100 people to occupy the governor's office, posted a notice, and declared independence.

All the soldiers of the 1st Division supported and declared independence. The 8th Division's cavalry, artillery, and the 29th Regiment have dredged their opinions and will never object.

The only opponents are Chen Zhiji of the 8th Division and the superior officers of the 1st Division.

In order to win Chen Zhiji, He Haiming served as the commander-in-chief of the Yuan army in Jiangsu Province and elected Chen Zhiji as the governor of Jiangsu.

He Pai's representative welcomed Chen's inauguration. Chen did not agree at first, and then accepted and informed He Haiming to come to the governor's office to do business.

He Haiming just arrived, and Chen Zhiji was downgraded to welcome him.

Chen Zhiji said with a smile, "Mr. He! How much money have you brought?"

He Haiming replied, "In the mint, it is inexhaustible."

Chen Zhiji said again, "How are there several soldiers?"

He Haiming said, "The governor's soldiers are my soldiers."

Chen Zhiji looked back and said, "This mess is really bold. Tie it up with me."

Hearing the fate, he took down General He Haiming and detained dozens of people of the He Party.

Zhifu pointed to He Haiming and said, "I won't kill you at this time being. I'll wait for the governor of Cheng to make a final order."

So He Haiming and others were imprisoned in prison, and then showed the cancellation of independence.
