217 the first punch

217 First Punch (Middle)

In a clear sky, Shizuoka Maru sailed north on the calm sea.

Huang Xing's Japanese friend Ichigo Miyazaki quietly told him, "I have a special contact channel with the Japanese Consulate in Nanjing. It is said that Nanjing has become a slaughterhouse since seven o'clock this morning! It's so horrible. It's cruel, Mr. Huang. Ms. Tang, the heroine of the alliance you know, was caught and hanged by the Beiyang Army, and dragged to the street by the carriage!"

Ms. Xu Zonghan cried and asked Mr. Ichigo Miyazaki: "I heard that Marshal Li of Hubei District was involved in the war because of the violence of the Beiyang Army. Is this true?"

I don't know how the news of the two got it. Ichigo Miyazaki nodded and said, "Just issued a statement calling on all the Chinese people to ask for Yuan... In the face of the current situation, it is irreparable..."

Xu Zonghan trembled and said to Ichigo Miyazaki, "No! Li Shuai will create miracles, and will recover justice for the dying people and the dying revolutionaries!"

Huang Xing suddenly said, "I want to go back, I want to go back to the people!" Can you give me a gun? Even if I am beaten to death, I will kill a Beiyang reactionary!"

Ichigo Miyazaki avoided his sight.

Huang Xing's eyes were congested, his hands trembled slightly, and his lack of sleep and fatigue tormented him.

Ichigo Miyazaki is equipped with a pistol. Of course, he won't give it to him, but he just said, "You take a rest first..."

Then I said goodbye...

Ichigo Miyazaki doesn't believe that madman Li can still create miracles this time...

......

In just two months, the anti-Yuan forces in the southern provinces all collapsed, and Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Li Liejun, Chen Qimei and others were forced to flee abroad.

Sun Yat-sen left Shanghai before Huang Xing left Nanjing. He took a boat to Fuzhou with Hu Hanmin and others, intending to transfer from Fuzhou to Guangzhou.

When the ship arrived in Fuzhou, the military attache of the Japanese Consulate in Fuzhou and Sun Yat-sen's friend, Taga, hurriedly boarded the ship.

Sun Yat-sen was a little surprised and thought, "What is he doing here? How did he know I was on this ship?

He smiled and stretched out his hand enthusiastically, trying to shake hands with Taga Zong to say hello.

He Zongzhi waved his hand and whispered first, "Go back to the cabin! Hurry up!"

Duo He Zongzhi said that he grabbed the suitcase in Sun Yat-sen's hand and took Sun Yat-sen's arm and walked back.

Hu Hanmin followed in panic.

Returning to Sun Yat-sen's original first-class cabin, Duohe Zongzhi closed the door casually and said anxiously, "Mr. Sun, Mr. Hu, you can't get off the ship!"

Sun Yat-sen asked in surprise, "What, what's the matter?"

"I bought a ticket to Taiwan for you, or this ship, which will set sail tomorrow. You have to be on the boat tonight, and you must not go ashore. Yuan Shikai has ordered the pursuit of several of you Kuomintang leaders.

As Duo He said, he took out a notice with a large seal from his briefcase and handed it to Sun Yat-sen: "Look at this."

Sun Yat-sen took a look and found that it was indeed a wanted notice issued by the Beijing government.

Sun Yat-sen opened his eyes angrily and scolded angrily: "Shameless!" Then he said to the military officer of Duohe, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Duohe! We knew about Yuan Shikai's wanted notice when we left Shanghai. However, I won't go to Taiwan. I'm going to Guangzhou. I'm going to personally command Chen Jiongming's Cantonese army and go north to fight against Yuan Thieves!"

Duohe Zongzhi's control indignation and said calmly, "The situation in Guangdong has been reversed. Long Jiguang and the generals in Guangdong conspired to attach Yuan. Chen Jiongming fled Guangzhou and his wheres are unknown. Yuan Shikai sent a large number of secret agents and assassins, covering the southern provinces.

"I'll go to Hong Kong first, and then I'll discuss Yuan Daji."

Taga Zongzhi shook his head disapprovingly.

Sun Yat-sen asked in constersation, "Why, can't you even go to Hong Kong?"

Duohe Zongzhi nodded gently and took out an order from his briefcase: "You didn't expect this."

Sun Yat-sen slowly reached out to receive the British government's statement ordering the British Governor of Hong Kong to prohibit Sun Wen, Huang Xing and other Kuomintang dignitaries from entering the country.

Sun Yat-sen looked at it and rushed up in his heart. He couldn't help cursing, "It's too despicable. I didn't expect the British authorities to openly collude with Yuan Shikai."

Sun Yat-sen handed the paper to Hu Hanmin: "Look, in the anti-Qing years, the members of the League could still set up organs in Hong Kong to carry out revolutionary activities. Now, in order to please Yuan Shikai, the Hong Kong authorities have ordered us to ban our entry."

Hu Hanmin sighed: "Sir, I can't go back to Shanghai. I can't go to Guangzhou and Hong Kong. I have to go to Taiwan first."

The ship arrived at Keelung Port in Taiwan, and Sun Yat-sen and Hu Hanmin walked to the dock between the passengers. Just as he came to a square, a team of policemen, led by a Japanese police officer with a long knife, rushed to the crowd gathered in the square. The crowd fled in panic.

Seeing this, Hu Hanmin shouted, "Take a quick step!"

He took Sun Yat-sen to run out of the square.

As soon as the two of them ran a few steps, someone suddenly shouted behind them, "Come with me!"

Sun Yat-sen looked back and found that it was his fellow countryman and early revolutionary comrade Yang Xinru. He was so surprised that he was about to shout, but he was stopped by Yang Xinru waving his hand. They hurried all the way, turned into the alley, and then walked a while to a hotel. Yang Xinru took them to the upstairs room he rented.

Without waiting for Sun Yat-sen to speak, Yang Xinru said, "Well, over the years, we have gone through all the vicissitudes of life. Today, we met by chance. You and I have a lot to say, but now is not the right time."

"What, isn't it safe here?"

"Yuan Shikai's spy went to the island two days ago. What happened in the square just now was that they colluded with Japanese police officers. They wanted to arrest the revolutionaries. ......”

Suddenly, there was a noisy voice downstairs. Yang Xinru quickly stopped talking, gave Sun Yat-sen a wink, and hurried downstairs.

Sun Yat-sen paced anxiously in the room and tried several times to put his head out of the window to see what was going on, but Hu Hanmin stopped him back.

After a while, Yang Xinru looked panicked. As soon as she entered the door, she said, "The momentum outside is not right. The Japanese gendarmes and local police are being notified door to door, and ask the residents to take off your portrait hanging in the hall. The streets and alleys have been posted by the Beijing government's wanted notices. They will pay 200,000 yuan to reward you."

Sun Yat-sen unbuttoned his coat, put his hands on his waist, opened his eyes angrily, and watched the Japanese gendarmes and local police shuttle back and forth on the street, shouting. Hu Hanmin was very nervous, his eyes were dull, and he didn't know what to do.

"Cross Japan to the east, reunite strength, and raise the revolution again!" Sun Yat-sen punched the table.

After the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, Yang Xinru fled to Taiwan alone and worked as an accountant in a tea bank in North America. He was responsible for the work of the Taipei Xingzhong Association with Chen Shaobai. This time he went to Keelung to collect accounts and negotiate a business for the tea shop owner. He happened to meet Sun Yat-sen and Hu Hanmin in the square. He really wanted to stay with Sun Yat-sen and Hu Hanmin to stay in the hotel for a few days and have a good chat, but he encountered a big search and arrest, so he had to agree to Sun Zhongdong.

......

When Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing were in exile overseas, Li Xiang appeared on the stage.

He just gave Yuan Shikai a fist, and his eyes were in Henan again. The generals in Henan are as famous as the swordsmen in Shaanxi!

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Henan, as an inland province far away from the trade port, had not become a direct target of imperial aggression before the First Sino-Japanese War, and the natural economy closely combined with small agriculture and family handicrafts did not have much impact. However, since the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki and the Treaty of Xinchou, the aggressive forces of the empire have been quickly immersed in the urban and rural areas of Henan like floods. They set up churches, occupied minerals, built railways, set up companies, and frantically carried out political aggression and economic plunder, bringing unprecedented new disasters to the people of Henan. At the same time, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty also levied land, grain and various harsh taxes in the name of apportionment of "reparations" and the preparation of a "new policy". Local officials at all levels are even more clever to set up names and carry out a search for farmers. The landlords and gentry also took the opportunity to fish for the people, causing a large number of farmers to go bankrupt. The crazy plunder of the empire and the cruel oppression of feudal forces will inevitably lead to the sharpening of social contradictions and the rise of people's resistance. According to incomplete statistics, from 1901 to 1911, the spontaneous anti-imperialist struggle of the working people in Henan (excluding the movement to recover rights) was more than 30 times, including more than 30 prefectures and counties such as Biyang, Anyang, Huaxian, Zhangde, Tanghe...

During this period, "the labor masses with farmers as the main body spontaneously carried out more than 50 fights against grain, taxes and riotism," and the number of people in more than 50 prefectures and counties was as large as "twenty or 300,000". This shows that the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle of the people of Henan at the end of the Qing Dynasty was not only very extensive, but also quite fierce.

In addition to the above-mentioned examples of anti-imperial and anti-feudal struggles widely launched by the working masses, because "Since Gengzi, all things have been expensive, it is difficult to have a happy birthday, and the lazy day, the rich are led to the poor, and the poor are led to theft," so large and small green forest armed forces have risen in various places. In some areas, there is even "no one is a bandit, and there is no day."

The rise of this kind of peasant armed forces deeply reflects the deepening of the crisis of the reactionary rule of the Qing Dynasty and indicates that a major social change is coming. In the summer of 1911, Baofeng and Lushan in Henan Province suffered from severe hailstorms. There was no grain harvest in summer. Many farmers ate wild vegetables, grass roots, bark, etc. to satisfy their hunger. The Qing government not only collected local money and grain as usual, but also increased the amount of taxes, forcing the vast number of poor farmers to live on. Therefore, when the Wuchang Uprising in the Xinhai Revolution broke out, there were as many as 20 or 30 peasant armed forces that spontaneously rebelled against the government in the Bao and Lu areas.

......

Li wants to summon Narcissus, Lv Zhongqiu and Jin Zhaolong to ask, "How's the investigation in your investigation room? Now that there is such a nerve-wracking problem, what kind of work can you share?

The water fairy lowered her eyebrows and quietly glanced at Lv Zhongqiu.

"Report to the general," Lv Zhongqiu quickly took a step up and replied, "The investigation room has not been established for a long time, and the feathers are not rich, and it can't make any achievements yet."

"Isn't it even clear about the enemy?"

"Enemy?" Lv Zhongqiu replied, "There are enemies, and the report is being written. According to intelligence, when Anhui declared its independence, Min Yuan was Hu Wantai, who was the commander-in-chief of the Anhui army and disappeared in battle. He climbed into the seat of the governor and invited the acting governor Sun Dasen to the original civil affairs bench. Soon after the failure of the Yuan army, Hu Nai cancelled his independence and fled with Sun Dasen. The remaining empty seat of the governor was for Qi Genghuan, the commander of the gendarmerie, for a few days, and then gave it to Liu Guodong. Bai Wenwei returned to Anqing, and Liu Nai returned to his original small staff chair. Hu Wantai, who fled later, suddenly appeared again and received several charges of five major crimes. However, at this time, Bai also left Anhui. Hu became the governor again and declared independence, but this chair was no longer his turn. On August 28, Ni Sichong came to Anqing. Ni was appointed as the governor of Anhui by Yuan Shikai as early as July 27. Anhui has become a major lair for Beiyang warlords.

Since the Beiyang Army has won every season, the promotion map of the Yuan series will appear in the south. Duan Zhigui is still the commander of the first army, promoted to general, and has been awarded the title of Jiangxi Xuanfu envoy; Zhang Xun is also promoted to general, Duan Zhigui's right commander Wang Zhanyuan and Hunan envoy.

Shanghai was also on the deathbed due to the failure of the Nanjing Revolutionary Army. Yang Shande, the commander of the Fourth Division, was the governor of Songjiang, Zheng Ru became the governor of Shanghai, and Liu Guanxiong, the commander-in-chief of the navy, was the governor of Fujian.

Guangdong and Sichuan solved the problem quickly without any effort. On July 27, Yuan sent Long Jiguang and Haguang brothers as the official and deputy garrison of Guangdong. On August 3, General Long Jiguang ascended as the governor of Guangdong, and on August 5, Chen Jiongming left. Although Xiong Kewu from Sichuan declared independence on August 9, he was dismissed from office only one month.

The situation of Hunan's independence was mainly affected by the failure of Guangdong's independence, which made Tan Yankui, the governor of Hunan, and Zhao Hengti, the commander of the Hunan Army, to fail. Hunan is forced to cancel its independence due to the environment..."

"Why is there no news from Henan?" Li wanted to say impatiently.

"Yes, there is," Jin Zhaolong said, "... In recent years, there have been a lot of banditry acts from ordinary outsiders: abducting people to redeem people, moving to tens of thousands of gold, sending rice to errave money, more than one or two villages and towns? Rich families are big, but the supply is not enough; the ruffians and local tycoons take advantage of hiding. Do not kill erres, seek revenge, resist officers and soldiers, and openly fight against each other. For example, Zhang Heizi, Guan Zonghan, Wang Tianzong, Dong Wanchuan, etc. in western Henan, there are many people, especially famous... The most powerful is the white wolf! In Xiping, Suiping and Queshan of the Beijing-Han Railway, to Suixian County in Hubei in the south, to the vast areas around Nanzhao and Zhenping in the west, it has flowed and fought back and forth, captured many villages and towns, and promoted the fight against the rich and the poor everywhere. Wherever they went, many poor farmers joined the ranks of the Brown Army. Now the peasant armed force of Bai Lang has grown to two or three thousand people!"

......

Speaking of Bai Lang, he also participated in the "Northern Expedition" and followed Guo Marshal into Xu Changcheng. If it weren't for Zhang Zhenfang, he might still be farming. And tonight they will receive a special guest, the party representative sent to them by the revolutionary military government in Hubei.

"Coming, commander-in-chief, the party representative is coming..." The excited militia soldier shouted as he ran.

"What are you shouting about?" Bai Lang stared at the soldier, then happily tidied up his clothes and waved, "Brothers, pick up the party representative with us."

The crowd suddenly got up.
