Ni Yingdian personally led the main force, 3 battalions of the first standard, plus 1 artillery battalion and 2 artillery battalions, a total of 2,000 people, and marched to the provincial capital. When they arrived at the Niuwang Temple, the troops were blocked. Rows of bullets 'fired' down, indicating that this road was no longer passable.

Ni Yingdian and the commanders of the battalions went to the front of the position to watch the enemy's situation, and saw that on several hills of Niuwang Temple, Li Zhun's patrol and new army were already defending, and judging from the few artillery sounds that came out from time to time, Li Zhun's artillery team had already hidden behind the mountains. On the top of the hill, machine guns were set up, and they constantly 'fired' at this side, presumably because there was enough ammunition and 'medicine', and there were also barbed wire fences at the bottom of the mountain, and it took a lot of effort to destroy these barbed wires. Once a war with the Qing army began, the new army would be in a very disadvantageous situation.

Ni Yingdian discussed with the commanders of each battalion for a while, and the commanders of each battalion had difficulties in attacking the Niuwang Temple.

Ni Yingdian smiled slightly and said, "I regard the Niuwang Temple as like a paper tiger, which will break when you poke it." Gong Ren was suddenly shocked in his heart and asked, "Does Commander-in-Chief Ni have any good ideas?" Ni Yingdian laughed and said: "The heavenly machine can't be revealed, and there will be a good show to see in a while." ”

Some officers saw that Ni Yingdian was so confident in attacking Niuwang Temple, and thought that he must be in the 'chest' and must have a trick, so they didn't ask again, but some officers still didn't know the bottom of their hearts, and shook their heads again and again.

At this time, in front of the Niuwangmiao position, several soldiers of the patrol new army beckoned to this side, and then, the first battalion of the patrol new army led Tong Changbiao, and the deputy leader Li Jinglian walked from there to this side with a row of people. A soldier shouted: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, we want to see Ni Yingdian-"

Ni Yingdian was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to the commanders of several battalions next to him and Gongren: "I said that Niuwang Temple is easy to fight, but you still don't believe it, how about it?" Here's where the good thing comes. As long as Tong Changbiao and Li Jinglian revolt, not to mention Niuwang Temple, even Guangzhou City is easy to fight. ”

Several battalion commanders listened to Ni Yingdian's words, and they were naturally very happy in their hearts.

Over there, Tong Changbiao 'handed' the gun to the herald and walked towards this side empty-handed. Ni Yingdian also unloaded the gun and 'handed it over' to Tang Qingying. Gong Ren was a little uneasy, and persuaded Ni Yingdian to say: "Commander Ni, the situation is so complicated now, it is really changing rapidly, you are the master of an army, it is better not to go." ”

Ni Yingdian smiled and said: "How did Brother Gong Ren become so timid, Tong Changbiao is my fellow Anhui countryman, Li Jinglian has done so much work, and now it is time to do it all at once." And Li Jinglian, you don't know, he is not only my fellow countryman, but also a member of the League, you and my sworn brother, a few days ago, I also sent someone to contact him. If you're all like you, don't do anything. ”

Gong Ren said: "At this time, at that time, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. Otherwise, Tang Qingying and I will accompany you on a trip. ”

Ni Yingdian smiled again and said: "Tong Changbiao is one person over there, and I can't be two people here, this is called treating each other with sincerity, understand." There are too many people, so I can only 'mess' things, and I can't be so narrow-minded and petty. ”

It is not good to persuade the public tenacity. Ni Yingdian got on a fast horse and rushed towards Tong Changbiao.

When he arrived in front of Tong Changbiao, Ni Yingdian rolled the saddle and dismounted, grabbed Tong Changbiao's hand and said, "Brother Changbiao, how are you doing lately?" Tong Changbiao also grabbed Ni Yingdian's hand tightly and said: "I'm 'good', Brother Ni, you are also 'good'." The two of them held hands, very affectionate, and after talking a few common words, Ni Yingdian asked: "I don't know what Brother Chang Biao is looking for me?" ”

Tong Changbiao said: "I have the heart to join the revolutionary party, but my brothers do not understand what the revolutionary party is all about. If the two sides turned hostility into 'jade' silk and made a revolution together, wouldn't it be better for our brothers to be together every day. ”

Ni Yingdian said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll go over and talk to them." Brother Chang Biao, the matter of the Niutoushan uprising is all up to you. As long as the Niutoushan Uprising is successful, you have made a great contribution to the revolution. ”

Tong Changbiao said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, my words still count." ”

The two of them held hands and walked towards the position of the Niuwang Temple, and they had endless words to talk about.

Although the 'spring' festival has just passed at this time, the grass and trees in Guangdong are still a dark green, without the slightest sense of decay, and there are some small grasses that send out emerald green buds, which are more vibrant, especially there is a hero tree, which stands vigorously and vigorously in the high blue sky, giving people the feeling of being vigorous and fearless and rushing into the sky.

At the bottom of the mountain, the barbed wire fence was temporarily cut open, Li Jinglian greeted him from the opening, Ni Yingdian 'handed over' the reins of the horse, shook hands with him, patted him on the shoulder, and expressed his approval. Ni Yingdian suddenly found that Li Jinglian had his head down, his eyes were lowered, and his 'spirit' was very depressed, and then he looked at the more than 30 soldiers, all of whom had fierce faces and angry eyes.

Ni Yingdian's heart sank, and he glanced at Tong Changbiao, who still smiled and said, "You can tell my brothers about the revolutionary party first!" ”

Ni Yingdian smiled slightly, arched his hand to the soldiers and said: "Brothers, I, Ni Yingdian, have always been willing to 'make' friends, and today I have the honor to talk to you about my friends, which is really a blessing for three lives." The revolutionary party is the revolutionary party of our Han people, and the purpose of the revolutionary party is to drive out the Tartar ......"

As soon as he said this, an officer of the patrol battalion suddenly interrupted Ni Yingdian's words and said: "You drive out the Tartars, then we are full of Tartars, you are happy, what should we do?" Isn't the revolutionary party just going to rebel, isn't it just going to kill us, and we don't need you to kill us, we'll kill you first. ”

Some soldiers also heckled: "Kill the revolutionaries!" "We are here to kill the revolutionaries."

Ni Yingdian thought badly, it seems that these people are not going to join the revolutionary party, they seem to be diehards in the Qing army, and they turned their heads to look at Tong Changbiao. Tong Changbiao still smiled and said to Ni Yingdian: "Look, look, why can't my brothers listen, how can those soldiers of the New Army listen." That's weird, that's weird......"

Ni Yingdian saw that Tong Changbiao's face contained hypocrisy and cunning, and his voice contained mockery and sarcasm, knowing that Tong Changbiao had bad intentions. looked at Li Jinglian again, but Li Jinglian's face was gray, his eyes were half-closed, and he didn't say a word, thinking that his mood had fallen to the extreme. Ni Yingdian thought badly, he fell for their 'treacherous' scheme, and he had fallen into the 'den' of Longtan Tiger.

Ni Yingdian still had a smile on her face, and said unhurriedly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced, since the brothers have their own ideas, they can only go with the flow." We'll have a meeting later, and I, Ni Yingdian, will say goodbye. ”

Several Qing soldiers shouted viciously: "Can't go!" Can't go! Where to go. "It's not so cheap to leave, and hitting the knife can still make you go back alive!"

Tong Changbiao's face sank, and he said to those patrol recruits: "How can you be so rude, this is my friend who invited, let's go back and talk about it if you have anything to say." He smiled at Ni Yingdian again, arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Who knew that my brethren were so unenlightened. It's okay, if I visit another day, then I won't be able to send it. ”

Ni Yingdian gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, knowing that he had been tricked, but here and now, he could only endure it silently, knowing that there was no need to talk nonsense with them. Li Jinglian, who never dared to look up at him, snatched the reins of the horse in his hand, turned over and got on the horse, lifted the reins, and clamped the horse's belly between the two 'legs', the fierce horse neighed, and was about to gallop quickly, when suddenly a crisp gunshot rang out behind him, Ni Yingdian felt that something hot seemed to pierce the heart, making the whole body burn.

Ni Yingdian slowly turned his head and saw that it was Tong Changbiao who fired a fatal shot at him with a cruel smile. Ni Yingdian habitually 'touched' the gun, but there was nothing in his waist, Tong Changbiao waved his hand again, and the patrol new soldiers suddenly shot together, and Ni Yingdian, who was shot dozens of times in his body, didn't have time to say a word, so he fell down from the horse and died heroically.

The scene over there could be seen clearly, and the public shouted hoarsely: "Commander Ni-" Tang Qingying pulled out his pistol and angrily 'shot', but unfortunately the distance was too far, and the bullets fell to the ground one after another. Tang Qingying grabbed another quick gun, fired several shots in succession, and killed several patrol recruits, until there were no more bullets in the chamber of the gun, and then he slammed the gun to the ground with a snort.

Several battalion commanders were stunned by the sudden turn of events, and they were at a loss for a while, and they didn't know why, but it took a while to come to their senses, and they commanded the troops to start a fierce attack on Niuwangmiao.

On the top of Niuwangmiao Mountain, dozens of 'strong' machine guns swept and 'fired' at the New Army, and dozens of 'guns' bombarded the New Army, and the small barbed wire fence became an insurmountable obstacle blocking the advance of the New Army. The revolutionary army did not have **, there was no artillery bombardment to open the way, it could only use simple wooden planks, and it could only use flesh and blood to pave the way. The front ones fell, and the rear continued to rush upward, and the revolutionary troops in front of the position suffered heavy casualties, and the barbed wire was covered with the flesh and blood of the new army and rags.

After hours of fierce fighting, the soldiers ran out of ammunition before they had to retreat. The other two new armies were also defeated by the attack of the patrol new army. Dozens of backbone members of the New Army were arrested and killed by the New Army, and the bloody storm enveloped the Yantang and Beijiaochang areas outside Guangzhou for a long time.

When the situation eased a little, Gong Ren and Tang Qingying began to look for Tong Changbiao's flaws, but because this kid knew that he had done something bad, the revolutionary party would never let him go, so he was extremely cautious and elusive, Gong Ren and Tang Qingying arrested him several times, but they didn't catch him. Li Jinglian was not so lucky, and finally, on the way home, Gong Ren and Tang Qingying intercepted him.

Tang Qingying clicked on his 'hole' and put the scimitar on his neck. Gong Ren asked: "We are all sworn brothers and members of the alliance, why did you betray Ni Yingdian?" ”

Li Jinglian sighed and said: "The Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, your revolution and my thinking are not the same thing at all, although we are righteous brothers, but we must not destroy the general interests of the country because of our 'selfish' feelings." Gong Ren nodded and said, "I understand." Let me ask you again, is the Tianjin Xiaozhan uprising a secret that you leaked 'Lu'. ”

Li Jinglian smiled again and said: "Since it's in your hands, it's not good anyway, I'll tell you the truth, it's indeed my secret to Feng Guozhang." ”

"Then why did Feng Guozhang also send you back?" Gong Ren asked again.

"Feng Guozhang knows that sooner or later this matter will be revealed, if I am promoted, it will not be a dead end. In order to save my life, they sent me back. ”

Gong Ren asked again: "What else do you have to say now?" ”

Li Jinglian said: "I've already said what I should say, let me meet my brother Ni Yingdian as soon as possible!" ”

Gong Ren scolded fiercely: "What a person who went to God with a 'flower' granite head. All right! I will fulfill you, and let you go to the Qing Dynasty to be martyred. As he spoke, he gave Tang Qingying a 'look'.

Tang Qingying cut his throat with a knife.
