205 break (second round)
Wuchang. Hannan Hotel.
Cai Jimin got out of the car and saw Tian Tong standing at the door waiting for a long time.
Tian Tong took Cai Jimin and walked in. As he walked, he said, "I'm finally looking forward to you - the West Flower Hall set up a Fite - Ji Min's invitation!"
Huang Xing sent Tian Tong to Wuhan with his letter to the Hubei revolutionaries as early as late March. Tian Tong first met with Ji Yulin in Wuhan, and then gathered the people from Huang Xingxin to hold a secret meeting in Hualin, Wuchang. After discussion, it was decided to convene all parties in the form of a banquet, secretly move with words, and contact comrades who are interested in anti-Yuan. Of course, it is best to contact Li Xiang.
Cai Jimin also knows that Tian Tong's banquet has no good banquet. Hannan Hotel is now a place of right and wrong. He remembers the thrilling conversation with Li Xiang before the banquet, and he doesn't want to stay here for a long time. Li Xiang is playing a big game of chess, but the current reform faction is here to add chaos to him. Although Li Xiang is not cruel to kill, he is in Yuan. In front of Li Chun, whom Shikai sent to supervise, he also wanted to do something to make a look, and he also wanted to take this rare opportunity to clean up the reformists who had just gathered a little strength in Hubei District! After all, Cai Jimin had a fight with their comrades and was a little unbearable.
Cai Jimin quickly said, "No, no. There is a meeting of the Military Commission today, and I have to attend. It's not good to be late. I'm just going to say today that it's not too late to get my brother's kindness another day..."
"Let's go!" Ji Yulin flashed out of the screen from the hotel lobby, walked slowly, and said with a smile, "Jimin, don't dodge. Today, there are about 40 or 50 people above the military regiments, the gendarmerie headquarters battalion, and politicians. Why aren't they your "Military Committee" meeting? Why are you hiding from us? What's the matter with saying a few words to you? Why are you getting closer and closer to us, but getting closer and closer to the madman Li?
Tian Tong smiled cheerfully and said, "Jimin, don't you know Yulin's mouth? Knife mouth, tofu heart! Li Madman, he was quite revolutionary in 1911, and we all admire him very much, but now he has changed. How miserable our people have been crushed. Do you know? The death of Zhang Zhenwu has nothing to do with him! Now he actually wears a pair of trousers with Yuan Shikai and accepts bribes from Yuan Shikai. He does not respond to Mr. Zhongshan's anti-Yuan initiative. Does he still have the face to say that he is a student of Mr. Zhongshan? Crazy Li has completely changed. However, Jimin, I also know that you are now a popular person in front of you, and you are also an important person in Hubei District. We dare not necessarily climb you. It's also for your own good to talk about it. If you don't, we don't dare to force it.
Tian Tong is not tight or slow, and he is not forced to talk calmly. Every sentence is warm and sweet, and there is no tension, but the words are all with bones, and there are needles hidden in it.
Cai Jimin listened, thought, and said with a smile, "Who is Li Shuai? You will understand one day. You have made so many disturbances in Hubei District. How many people has Li Shuai really killed? Zhang Zhenwu died in Beijing, but you insisted on deducting this blood debt on him. I have nothing to say. I don't mean to be separated from you. If you really want to talk to me, I'll talk to you.
"Go, go. This is not the place to talk, go to the flower hall!"
Cai Jimin walked into the hotel with Tian Tong and Ji Yulin. Behind the main building of the hotel was a garden. He entered through the moon hole door and passed through the densely braided corridor of moon flowers and vines. There was a green empty field inside. The blue waves of the sea were blowing the wind and the yellow orioles. A mountain-style pressurized three-jaort hall stand on the shore, reflecting the shadow of the lake and trees.
Sure enough, Ji Yulin and Tian Tong entertained about 40 to 50 people from various regiments, gendarmerie headquarters battalions, and politicians at the Hannan Hotel.
Ji Yulin smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk slowly. Come on, come on, you don't have to sit down. Feel free to sit down!"
Tian Tong represented Huang Xing. After sitting as the chairman, he personally held the pot and filled the door cup for everyone. He laughed and said, "Now in Hubei, it is the most beautiful to help the people."
Cai Jimin hurriedly said, "It's not glamorous. Isn't it all about doing things?"
Ji Yulin took the cup and stared at the amber juice-like wine in the glass. For a long time, he sighed, "Since you are doing something, what can you do with the crazy Li? Is it a matter of harm to the country and the people? Or is it a matter of helping Zhou to abuse?
Cai Jimin has been thinking for a long time and never said a word. What Li wants to plan now is top secret, and he doesn't dare to talk about it.
Cai Jimin didn't say it, but some people wanted to say it.
"We have made secret discussions and decided to form an improvement group with the aim of improving Hubei's military and political affairs and continuing the revolutionary cause, and overthrowing the current government. Push Ji Yulin as the head of the regiment and set up a secret machine about Hankou Bixiuli, Wuchang Zhongying Street, Dachao Street, Fuyuan Street, Xuntongling, Hongxiang Lane and other places. The main members of the improvement group use drinking, catching up the past and other means to contact the party members in the army, and use the troops they have mastered as the basic force to make trouble. Due to the large number of cuts in the army in Hubei, there are very few troops controlled by the revolutionaries. The improvement regiment widely recruits retired and frustrated idle soldiers, and contacts the party masses at the same time.
Then, they formulated several sets of plans to defeat Li Xiang: one is to use the former regiment of Ji Yulin and the 60 lieutenants of the governor's office to hijack the puppet governor Li Yuanhong, eradicate the stubborn faction, and declare them to rebel and destroy the revolution, so as to gain real power from it, which is more beneficial to Later action. The second is to provoke the troops commanded by Li Xiping to clash with Zeng Gao's subordinates, involving the power of Li, and taking advantage of the chaos to attack the governor's office and push down Li Xiang. It is planned to take Cai Jimin as the governor and Zhan Dabei as the head of civil affairs.
"Good plan!"
A strange voice suddenly sounded in the middle of them. Everyone looked for the source of the sound and saw a young man wearing a green military uniform of the Hubei army. His big brim hat was pulled low and lazily leaned against the door frame.
"Crazy Li?"
There was a big comcussion, and I don't know how many cups and plates were pushed down.
"It's me." Li wanted to raised the corners of his mouth.
A burst of dense footsteps suddenly rushed into a group of wolf-like soldiers, and the black holes were all aimed at them.
"Cai Jimin!" Ji Yulin's eyes flashed with green light: "It's you who betrayed us!"
Cai Jimin clenched the chair handle with one hand and the chair handle with the other hand. He said nothing.
"Damn, you are so high-profile, who in Wuhan doesn't know you're here?" Li wanted to make a gesture: "Catch it all."
......
Beijing. The Presidential Palace.
"Father! Father!" Yuan Keding was lame with one leg, raised the piece of paper in his hand and ran all the way, and kept shouting, "Crazy Li called to report the case. He did it!"
"Did you do it?" Yuan Shikai asked happily, took the telegram and read it again and again, and couldn't help laughing.
"The layout of Guangdong and Jiangxi is also appropriate." Yuan Keding said again.
Yuan Shikai suddenly raised his head, his eyes were full of fierce light, gritted his teeth and said, "The good show has begun!"
Yuan Ke was stunned and gritted his teeth and said, "It's starting..."
In the name of the president, Yuan Shikai ordered the strict arrest of party members who are plotting civil strife:
"... Recently, I read Shanghai's Reuters on April 29th, saying that there was a second revolution in the Shanghai movement, and persuaded merchants to donate money and oppose the central government. The English Mainland News said that there were people in Shanghai who moved the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway and prepared to transport troops to Ning. In addition to being read, it is very strange. Although it is published in the Western News, the news does not have to be true, and since there are such legends, there is no way to sit back and watch. With a very clear and clear declaration to tell the people, it is important to know that the president is called a public servant, and the work and leisure are very different from that of his descendants and emperors, but if the public can be selected for a long time, he can be elected. How can he borrow money to make trouble and suffer? If, as the Western News said, the traitor takes advantage of this to incite chaos and cause violence, it will disturb the peace, destroy the Republic of China, and be willing to risk the world. The president is in office one day, that is, he has the responsibility to defend the territory and protect the people, except to eliminate violence and law enforcement. For this reason, the governors and civil affairs governors of all provinces and the local governors were ordered to conspire to conspire civil strife, accumulate money and gather people. If there is a real evidence, they will be arrested and investigated. There are ignorant and stupid people, or people who are seduced and threatened, or disturb each other, and they are euphemistically enlightened, and there is no need to be involved in the relationship. I would like to inform you. This order."
The provinces were ordered to maintain public security on the same day:
"... Recently, there have been repeated telegrams everywhere, which is extremely strange and confuses people's eyes and ears. One is the assassination case of Song Jiaoren, the former chief of agriculture and forestry. Because of the correspondence between Hong Shuzu and Ying Kuicheng, he insinuates State Premier Zhao Bingjun; the other is that the loan of the five countries has been completed, mistakenly admits that the House has not been approved, and he suspects and supervises the finances of the city tiger cup snake, which is deeply terrified. In the case of Song Jiaoren's assassination, according to Zhao Bingjun's notice, the case of borrowing from the five countries was also announced in detail by the Minister of Finance. The reader should be able to explain the truth of the two things. There are people who don't care about right and wrong, regardless of reality, and even wipe down the legislative, executive and judicial organs. With personal persumps, they force the world to follow blindly and want to become a great trend, so that it can overthrow the government and disrupt the overall situation. How should the people of the Republic be like this? ... To this end, the governors of all provinces and the ministers of civil affairs are ordered to pass the instructions to know that criminal cases should be judged by the judicial organs; the foreign debt incident has indeed been approved by the former Senate, and it is not allowed to spread rumors and become a real disaster. The president has the responsibility to maintain public order. How dare he sit back and watch the disturbance? It is useless for my people. This order!"
Since Yuan Shikai tore his face and openly quarreled with the Kuomintang, according to the submission of the Army Department, he ordered the abolition of the title of General Huang Xing, the removal of Li Liejun, the governor of Jiangxi, the removal of Hu Han, the governor of Guangdong, and the removal of Bai Wenwei, the governor of Anhui.
Yuan has a habit that every time he has to take action, he always wants to move the Beiyang Army out to show off in order to achieve his pre-catching goal. At this time, he also took the same wrist. Yuan Shikai's envoy Yan Xishan, the governor of Jin, who has betrayed the Kuomintang, Feng Guozhang, the direct governor of Beiyang, Zhang Xiluan, Zhou Ziqi, the governor of Yu, Zhang Zhenfang, the governor of Yu, Zhang Binghua, the governor of the admiral Ma Anliang, and Zhang Xingzhi, the guard, etc., jointly telegrammed Huang Xing and the two governors of Jiangxi and Guangdong: "Don't spare their reputation, don't love the country, slander. OK, I'm willing to be the head of the war." Zhang Zuolin accused Huang Xing of "overturning the government and damaging the country". Lei Zhenchun and Zhao Tian framed Huang Xing for not fighting for the president.
Yuan Shikai's actions show that he has officially broken up with the Kuomintang, and the overall situation is out of control.
