Chapter 119: Take Jiangxi

"Don't be busy yet, send someone to invite these people here!"

Han Xu saw that Li Jinxu was arranging for his subordinates to fetch water and wash them, so he hurriedly stopped Li Jinxu and handed him a list that had already been written, whether it was a gentry or a businessman, he was the most prestigious person in Nanchang City.

Li Jinxu took the note, called his own soldiers, and assigned the task, Han Xu was young and fine, but Zhang Jian was already in his fifties, and the continuous rush made him tired, so he found a place to rest after a little washing, he knew that when the person Han Xu wanted to invite came, he wouldn't want to sleep tonight.

At two hours, the people on Han Xu's list were basically there, and Zhang Jian also got up to attend the meeting.

"Mr. Han, Ji Lao, you have to help Nanchang, now the chaos is like this, the robbery is lawless, and the people are in the midst of fire and water, so the only way to ask Chen Dashuai to have mercy and save the people from fire and water!"

"Save? How to save? The soldiers outside are all heroes of the revolution, they desperately participate in the revolution, thinking that they can live a good life, but what is the result? You organized the Nanchang Governor's Palace, and the bannermen in the city were also divided up cleanly, but what about the officers and soldiers, they couldn't even afford to eat, what is the reason, and what kind of face does the outside have to launch a rebellion? You are all celebrities in Beiyang now, treat your soldiers like this, aren't you afraid that the Manchurians will come back? At that time, how should you deal with yourself? ”

Han Xu sneered and pouted.

"Yuan Ru, don't be rude, everyone here has made great efforts for the revolution, why don't you hurry up and make amends to all the virtuous elders?"

Zhang Jian pretended to be angry and lectured Han Xu, but Han Xu didn't speak, hurriedly saluted everyone and walked aside.

"Everyone, although what Yuan Ru said is not unreasonable, but it is not unreasonable, although Feng Guozhang has returned to Beijing, but there is a more difficult Duan Qirui, my marshal has to be stationed in Jiujiang, and even the meeting of the Jiangning United ** Conference has been pushed off, aren't you afraid that Beiyang will go south, Jiangxi is not a poor province, your governor's palace has been established for almost two months, and the money and food of the Guancang Silver Dollar Bureau are not a few, why can't even the military salary be paid, isn't it?"

Everyone was flushed when they heard this, Nanchang was defeated, who cares about these Qiu Ba, naturally they are going to the house to hold the silver.

"Ji Lao, now that it has come to this point, it is useless to say anything, the important thing is to quickly quell the chaos, isn't Commander Li also here, as long as Commander Li gives an order, what is this little chaos in the city?"

A squire surnamed Wang spoke.

"Wang Lao really looks down on the juniors, since the juniors entered Jiangxi at the end of October, the brothers marched thousands of miles, all the way to the bloody battle, never called tired, the bloody battle of Jiujiang also participated, the battle of Nanchang is most of our fighting, but in Jiangxi for two months, the brothers have not paid a penny of military salary, have not received a piece of food, now the brothers can stay quietly in the camp, the younger generations have done their best, where do they dare to put them into the city, that is not adding fuel to the fire?"

"What, Commander Li's troops have not been paid silver, how can this be, how can it be so, is it possible that Nanchang has been embarrassed to such a point, how can this be done?"

"Ji Lao, let's not talk about these first, they are all surnamed Wu Naqiu Ba, who doesn't understand anything and knows how to make money for himself, now something is wrong, let's discuss it before we come, raise 150,000 oceans, and temporarily distribute the arrears of Commander Li's subordinates, please ask Commander Li's subordinates to quickly quell the chaos!"

Han Xu sneered, these things that don't know whether they are alive or dead, they are still unwilling to give up their wealth at this time, Han Xu has read Du Yuesheng's report, the ocean of the Silver Dollar Bureau alone is more than a million, and the grain in the official warehouse is even cleaner and slippery by these moths, and Governor Wu is just a puppet pushed out by these people.

Governor Wu, who has always led troops, knows the way in between, and when he comes to his senses, there is no silver or grain left in the entire governor's mansion.

"No, my 50,000 troops, just a month's military salary is more than 300,000, not including people eating horses, the wear and tear of guns and ammunition, and the pension of casualties and soldiers, anyway, I can't be, what kind of commander is this, the younger generation is only shallow in learning, and I don't have the ability to continue to serve, please seniors please be smart, tomorrow I will pack up and go back to Shanghai, this commander, whoever wants to be who you want!"

Li Jinxu is worthy of being a person who has followed Chen Xuan for a long time, and he is also playing a set of tricks, so that these people can lead Li Jinxu's tiger wolves? Could it be that it is a long idle life? Even the governor of Wu, who led the troops before, didn't dare to move any thoughts, the key is who can afford it!

"I can't do it, I can't do it, Commander Li can't go, if I go, will the people of Nanchang still have a way to live?"

A group of fellow villagers and old rich men hurriedly persuaded Li Jinxu to stay, they were really afraid, those chaotic soldiers outside had already stirred up Nanchang, if Li Jinxu left, wouldn't the Qiu Ba in this big camp turn against the sky?

A group of squires and rich landlords and snakes were out of line, and Li Jinxu bargained for a long time, Li Jinxu insisted that 2 million oceans would not let go, and not including grain and grass, and finally Zhang Jian interceded, only to drop to 1.5 million, Li Jinxu is no matter how to let go, no one can intercede, just a word, you take them to calm the chaos, Li Mou will not take a penny.

The plan has been decided, and Marshal Li began to gather generals and send troops, first sending the gendarmerie to the street to shout, telling the rebels to hurry back to the camp, otherwise they will be punished for plotting rebellion, and the cowardly ones have already reaped the benefits anyway, and they will go back in twos and threes, and those who are bold will not take the words of the gendarmes seriously, anyway, Commander Li has not sent troops for so long, is it possible that he has figured it out again now? So he left it alone and continued to do evil.

An hour passed quickly, and the sound of neat footsteps sounded on the streets, and these rebels realized that something was wrong, Commander Li seemed to be really here, and the rebels began to panic and began to flee.

But it was too late, Li Jinxu's soldiers began to shout surrender, put down their weapons and obediently surrendered a rope tied up and threw it aside, those who dared to resist or continued to flee were not so lucky, and shot directly.

For a while, the whole Nanchang City was full of gunfire, and the fire was everywhere, and it seemed that these chaotic soldiers couldn't escape, so they began to prevent fire and create greater chaos, so as to escape by taking advantage of the chaos.

But everything is in vain, Li Jinxu has been in Nanchang for a month, and he has long known the big and small streets, and he has begun to catch turtles in the urn.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright, and the noisy Nanchang City began to calm down, and the lit fire was also extinguished by Li Jinxu's army, and a group of prisoners were escorted to the camp outside the city, and Governor Wu and his officials were also released.

Governor Wu and others were also invited to the camp, Li Jinxu asked him to interrogate the rebels, but Governor Wu was already disheartened and insisted on resigning from the post of governor, Zhang Jian and others were good at talking, so they let Governor Wu agree to serve temporarily, and when the new decision on Jiangning's side came down, he would leave immediately, and as for the interrogation of the rebels, he would leave it to Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian had been an official, and he knew that if he didn't calm the anger of the people, it would be useless for anyone to be the governor, so he borrowed Li Jinxu's documents, wrote a large number of announcements and posted them all over the city, and conducted a public interrogation of these rebels on the square in front of the City God Temple at one o'clock in the afternoon.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the square was already crowded, and their eyes were full of anger that could explode at any time.

It was impossible to bring all the rebels here, so after the preliminary trial, dozens of heinous rebels were selected to come over, and the whole interrogation was lackluster, and those who should have known had already been interrogated, and everything was just a formality.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the interrogation was over, Zhang Jian confirmed everyone's guilt, handed it over to the military judge, and after a while, with the roll call of the military judge, the military police went out to drag out the frightened criminals, and after verifying their identity, they were directly shot.

The gendarmes were like cold-blooded machines, in groups of five, and in groups of five, and with the continuous sound of gunfire, dozens of rebellious soldiers were killed in less than half an hour, which greatly shocked everyone present, and the anger of the common people was finally vented.

Many ordinary people even knelt down on their knees and shouted Zhang Qingtian, and the others who were shocked reacted and knelt down and shouted together.

When Han Xu saw this, he knew that Zhang Jian had already established himself, but he was afraid that even if Wu Dudu didn't want to leave, he wouldn't be able to get his rights back.

In fact, Wu Dudu is really wronged, and after becoming the governor of Jiangxi, he has not slacked off in his work, but he is a general who has been leading troops to fight, and he has no political experience, and he is required to organize a reliable administrative team in a month or two, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.

It is impossible to continue to use the Manchu administrative system of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise what would the revolution do? He can only rely on the local squire merchants to maintain order, but how many good birds do these guys have?

If they are reliable, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty has to pay great responsibility for getting to this point, don't these squire elders have the slightest responsibility? The answer is no!

A straightforward man who led troops to fight a war, asking them to lay down their weapons to be able to enter and exit the prime minister, is this too harsh, you know, it took three years for the Baath Party to write the laws and regulations to argue about the system, and now there are still loopholes in various places, if it is not for the backing of a relatively strong army, I am afraid that it is not much better than Nanchang.

Moreover, although the Baath Party's jurisdiction has been nominally recovered, except for a few relatively large cities, other places are still not under its control, and the squires and local powerful factions have used various means to grab benefits during this political window period, digging into the corners of the Baath Party.
