The 202nd Beggar Country Conscription Death Squad
After the Wuchang Uprising. The Hubei junta was faced with the military threat that the Qing army could attack at any time. In order to cope with the war. On October 14, the Ministry of Military Affairs, in the name of the Governor's Office, published and posted recruitment notices in the Official Gazette of the Republic of China and on important streets throughout Wuhan.
Gong Ren and Tang Qingying inspected the area of Dachao Street, Xiaochao Street and Wangfukou in Wuchang. I saw that the front of the various recruitment stations was crowded with people. There are both workers, farmers, academics, businessmen, and veterans. There are both old showmen and old tailors, as well as fathers, sons, and brothers at the same time. There are teenagers in the fourteenth and fifth five-year years, and there are also beggars who beg on the street to throw away the dog sticks.
Tang Qingying asked Gong Ren again: "You see if these people are trained. When will there be a war." Gong Ren smiled and said, "It will take two months to go to the battlefield at the earliest. These are soldiers. It's just some ordinary people. Soldiers who can fight in Wuchang City. It turned out to be only 6,000 people. Now it's expanded several times at once. The quality is too poor. Isn't it sorrowful? Yesterday. I have sent a telegram to Wang Dayan in Guangdong. Tell him to come to Wuchang as soon as possible to participate in the big war. I don't know when they'll come."
Tang Qingying saw the beggars put down the broken bowls that asked for food. Changed into a new military uniform. Drag and drop here. There Lala. It's like lice all over your body. It's really not adaptable. Tang Qingying sneered. Said to Gong Ren: "It's lively. Boisterous. The beggars will also go into battle to kill the enemy......"
Gong Ren said to Tang Qingying: "Don't underestimate the beggar. The beggars are organized. Also a very terrible military force. Back then. 3,000 soldiers of the beggars. He also defeated the 100,000 people of the Brotherhood. Let's not forget that history. The Grace of Dripping. It should be repaid by springs. It was the beggar kingdom that saved us. It's right in front of you. Take a look there, too. How the hell are they doing?" Tang Qingying also said: "I also miss my master. Just go there and have a look. Let's see what happened to the master."
Two people crossed the Yangtze River. It's not far from Hankow. and they came to the land of beggars.
One entered the land of beggars. Male tenacity felt. The situation is indeed a little different from when I left. First of all, the beggars have cultivated a lot of farmland. Some people are busy in the fields. It's harvest time. The laid paddy is piled up on the threshing floor like a hill. Waiting for threshing. The clothes worn by the beggars are not the clothes of the past. Rather, some coarse cloth garments. At first glance, it looks like a self-woven cloth. There are also many factories in the country of beggars. Here is the garment factory. There is a manufacturing plant. These are labor-intensive industries. It is just right to arrange for people from the beggar country to work in the factory.
Gong Ren and Tang Qingying were watching with interest. Suddenly, a young man in his 30s came over. Looking up and down. Suddenly happily said: "You are not our past king. Male toughness."
Gong Ren suddenly recognized. This is Li Xian, who pursued marital happiness in the past. Hurriedly happily took his hand and said, "You are Li Xian. Pretty good. The red lady is fine."
Li Xian jumped up with joy. The two hands are in the shape of a trumpet. Shouted: "Our past king. Gong Ren is back, our past king Gong Ren is back."
It doesn't matter what this shout is. Everyone around is running this way. Soon. There are already hundreds of people around. People happily gathered around Gong Ren and Tang Qingying. Ask for warmth. Ask this and that.
The red lady also brought her two children over. One is about 10 years old. One is around 5 years old. That's the boy spirit too. Girl cute. She hurriedly said to Gong Ren, "Your balloon skin is in charge. We women have had a lot of children. I have suffered a lot less."
Li Xian shyly said to the red lady, "The king has just arrived. What are you talking about. I'm a little embarrassed to say that." The red lady snatched Li Xian's sentence and said, "Tell the king what you are afraid of. It's all the work of the king. If it weren't for the balloon skin, there would have been fewer children. If it weren't for monogamy. If it weren't for the fact that private ownership was allowed. Can we have it today. And let the rich people open these factories here. Those of us who have no land. You can also work in a factory. I finally have some income."
Gong Ren borrowed everyone's joy. Take the opportunity to stand on a high place and encourage everyone to say, "Industrious and kind citizens. Now there are even greater things waiting for us."
"What's all good?" Tell us about it."" We'd love to hear about the oddities out there." The beggars babbled.
Gong Ren said: "After years of economic reform. We've got some protection. But that's not enough. We need to have greater reforms in politics. It's not. The revolutionary army has overthrown the Qing government. Established our own Han Chinese republic. In the future, the country will not only let us live a good life economically. It also requires greater political freedom for all. Exactly. It is to have a greater right to vote and to be elected."
"What is the right to vote and the right to be elected?" The red lady couldn't help but ask. Li Xian quickly pushed her and said, "Don't interject. Let the king be tenacious."
"That is, we can have the right to elect the president of our republic in the future. There is also the right to be elected president."
There's a bit of confusion at the bottom. The beggars don't understand. He asked again: "Anyone can be president. That's not messing up."" Don't let Xuantong be the emperor anymore. Is Xuantong willing."" If I were to be president. If you want to have as many wives as you want, you can have a few wives."
Gong Ren encouraged everyone to say, "It's a good thing to have a republic. Of course, the Qing government was unwilling. It is going to send a great army to fight with the revolutionary army. We want our good deeds. But the Qing government is not willing to do good things for us. So there was a war on both sides. Now the revolutionary army is gathering men. The peasants went. The workers went. The merchant also went. Students also went. I don't know if we beggars can go into battle."
Tang Qingying waved her hands and said, "When you become a soldier, you eat. Tube piercing. There is also a monthly allowance ......"
Two men are advertising to the beggars. Suddenly, I heard a man shouting, "Who said that beggars can't go into battle?"
The two men looked back. In the midst of a large group of itinerant beggars. Yun Zhongyu and Tanaka grass led thousands of people slowly towards this side. Tang Qingying met the master. Greet it with joy. He took the master's hand and said, "Master. Master. Hello. You're finally back."
Yun Zhongyu snorted. Say, "The whole world is our beggar's home. Ordinary people are our food and clothing. Why can't I get here? Beggar's Country, this is my home. Your master has three major ambitions in his life. Travel all over the world. Steal all over the world's rich. Eat delicious all over the world. It's been more than 10 years. I have also gained a lot of life experience. In the end, there is only one way. That's as black as a crow in the world. There is no way for the poor to live. How many beggars starved to death under high-rise buildings. Sick and dead outside the wilderness village. But now it looks like it. It's a different story in the country of beggars. Under some of your reform measures. These 10 years. The beggar's country has really changed the world. I've been in Wuhan for a few days. I didn't expect Wuhan to change the government. The junta gave us a life-saving meal. Saved a lot of us. He also called us beggars soldiers. I don't know how many beggars' lives have been saved."
Tanaka Kusa also said: "The junta also gave us some money. Tell us to buy some herbs. Relief to the sick beggars. This is really a living bodhisattva who saves lives."
Gong Ren and Tang Qingying see. These exiled beggars. Some people have set up pots and stoves. Put rice in the pot. and many beggars were fed. There are also some people who are setting up a casserole to boil medicine. So that many beggar patients have been treated.
Yun Zhongyou said to Gong Ren again: "As long as you can save these beggars. It's to tell me to give this old life. I'd like to, too. Male toughness. Where can the revolution be of any use to me? Just say it."
Gong Ren thought to himself. It turns out that the middle of the cloud is not in favor of revolution. This moment again supported the revolution. This also illustrates the backwardness of the revolution in people's minds. Gong Ren said, "O king. That's when I happened to have something to ask for."
Lobbying in the clouds: "You can say anything."
Gong Ren said: "To defend the fruits of our victory. The current junta is about to go to war with the Qing army. Soldiers are needed to start a war. In addition to mobilizing ordinary beggars to join the regular army. Look. Can you select some more capable people to join the death squads organized by our beggar country?"
"How many people do you need?" Gong Ren said: "The death squad does not need many people, but needs soldiers. I think 300 people are enough."
Yun Zhongyou agreed: "No questions. Back in the day. You led 3,000 beggars to defeat 100,000 of the Elders. From these 3,000 people. Can't pick out 300 people yet. When are you going to do it."
Gong Ren said: "Tomorrow I will gather in the Jixian Pavilion in Wuchang. How's that?" Lobbying in the clouds: "Okay."
"Then it's a deal." Gong Ren happily saluted Yun Zhongyou and said, "I represent the revolutionary army. Thank you, King."
The two of them were done with this. Hurriedly bid farewell to Yunzhongyu and Tanaka grass. Hurry back to Wuchang. On the way back. Tang Qingying asked again: "There are soldiers. But what about the backbone. If the Qing soldiers come today. What are we going to do?" Gong Ren thought for a while and said, "Then I have to go to Jixian Pavilion. Let's see if there's any available military talent there."
After the Wuchang Uprising. There are a lot of people from all over the world. The junta set up an admissions office on the evening of October 12. And established the Jixian Pavilion. All civil and military personnel with a skill can come to the Jixian Hall to sign up. Waiting for recruitment. The Jixian Pavilion is located in a compound not far from the Advisory Council. The two arrived at the Jixian Pavilion. Seeing the bustling scene here is another lively scene.
These are the people who came to sign up. There are not only old officers, old civil officials, people, and jinshi. There are also quite a few foreign students. During the exam, he spoke a foreign language. Tang Qingying listened to it for a while and felt amused. He said, "Just by virtue of these foreign students. You'll be able to get rid of the dog." Gong Ren criticized her and said: "People make the best use of their talents. Make the most of it. The junta needs too many people. If dealing with foreign embassies. These foreign students come in handy." Tang Qingying thought for a while and said, "yes. That's what is lacking."
The conditions in the Jixian Pavilion are superior. It's not just about cooking. Accommodation is also available. Gong Ren and Tang Qingying are tired. Sitting on a bench drinking water. Quietly watching the crowd coming and going. See if there are any eye-catching military talents. Gong Ren watched and watched. Suddenly, two people caught his eye.
The first person with a yellow coat and black shoulders. Wearing a small hat with black satin melon skin. Qi Yu Xuanang. The eyes are deep. I'm looking here and there. A man who followed him closely. Medium build. Dressed in a black robe. A pair of vigilant eyes searched everywhere. Although the robes are hypertrophied. But he still can't hide his well-proportioned figure. Vigorous pace and neat energy. Gong Ren's brain was shocked. Isn't this Liang Qichao and Wei Jinshan. What are they doing here?
Gong Ren slowly stepped forward. He arched his hand to Liang Qichao and said, "Mr. Liang. Don't come here unharmed." Liang Qichao was slightly surprised. At first glance, it is male toughness. He also bowed his hand and said, "Mr. Gong. It's been good lately." Gong Ren said sarcastically: "Mr. Liang has always hated revolution. I don't know where I came today. What advice do you have?"
Liang Qichao sighed. He said, "I don't hide it. It turned out that I had the idea of changing the law to become strong for the country and the people. Pin your hopes on Guangxu. I didn't expect to keep it coming. Guangxu died young.Xuantong came to power at the age of 3.There is no practical significance in supporting the emperor to change the law and trying to be strong.Now I have also realized a truth.Why do we work so hard and dismal to operate?And we can't succeed.And the Wuchang uprising.Raise your arms and shout.There are so many people to respond.It seems that this is in line with the will of heaven and the national conditions. It meets the wishes of the people. I'm old. Determined to get out of politics. Write a book and speak. It's a pity that I've been with my brother Wei Jinshan for so many years. So many years of good time have been wasted. I have my mind. Others can't make mistakes. But the Jinshan brothers. I also hope that he will follow the trend of history. Have a good future."
Gong Ren nodded. asked Wei Jinshan, "Brother Jinshan. I don't know what you're thinking now."
Wei Jinshan said dejectedly: "It turns out that I am determined to follow Mr. Liang for the rest of my life. For the country and the people. Changing the law to be strong. I didn't expect this road to go and walk nowhere. Now everyone yearns for revolution. I've seen these as well. Revolution is another way to save the country and the people. Now I've figured it out too. You drive out the Tartars and establish a united government. It's much better than Emperor Lao Tzu having the final say. I just don't know. Can you take me in now, a royalist?"
Gong Ren did not directly answer the question of whether to take him in or not. Instead, he asked, "So I did all the work for you. Why not join the revolution."
Wei Jinshan was speechless for a long time. After a pause, he said, "Can we be the same?" You come from a poor background. It's going to be a revolution. Seek a way out for yourself. And I was born in a family of eunuchs. Received a loyal and patriotic education. The food is the court's money. Therefore, you must be loyal to the king and serve the country. I thought that I would do my best for the country all my life. Chuangfeng Gongwei. I didn't expect Cixi to be corrupt and dim. Authoritarian and domineering. Guangxu made great efforts. Implementing the New Deal. Pity was controlled by Cixi, an old witch. Never willed. The old witch was dying and had to find a cushion to pull Guangxu away. There is always a process of slow acceptance. It's a last resort."
Male tenacious hands high-five. Said happily: "It's good to figure it out. Now we're like-minded. It's just the right time to make a big career. How many years. I've been thinking. With your courage. Talent. With my determination. Let's do it together. How nice that would be. I didn't expect that this goal would finally be achieved today."
Two people holding hands. Indicates that from now on will be like-minded. Do your best for the revolution.
Wei Jinshan smiled. A frown. On October 12, the Qing government sent the War Minister Yin Chang to lead the 4th Army to form the 3rd Army, and the 1st Army formed by the 11th Association marched southward. Gong Ren smiled and said, "We already know this. Aren't we stepping up our preparations now?"
Wei Jinshan said again: "If you want to hold Wuhan. We must first choke Wusheng Pass. Wusheng Pass was the only pass for the Qing army to move south. If the Qing army occupies Wusheng Pass. You can take a long train ride straight in. Moving south. I heard that the 3rd Battalion of the 42nd Standard of the Revolutionary Army was stationed in the area of Wushengguan in Xinyang District, Henan. I don't know if the Governor of Li has already planned it."
Gong Ren said, "That's the business of the Governor of Li. There's nothing I can do. Let's think about our own business. Each of us has to think about it. How can I contribute to the Wuhan Revolutionary Army?"
Just when the two of them were talking affectionately. Liang Qichao has quietly left the three of them. Go outside. Tang Qingying pulled Lawei Jinshan and said, "Your master is gone. You don't give one away." Wei Jinshan said, "This is the master who sent me. I have a home. The master is also relieved."
Gong Ren looked at Liang Qichao's gray hair. Staggering steps. I thought silently in my heart. For Liang Qichao's talent. I have to make people admire. But for what he has been doing all his life. It's a pity.
Stopped for a while. Wei Jinshan asked again, "I don't know what you're going to do now." Gong Ren said, "Let's be honest. The quality of the people's army is not good. I was trying to organize a death squad. As a shock force of the People's Army. I don't know if you'd like to participate."
Wei Jinshan arched her hand and said, "If you don't dislike it. I'm willing to be your pawn." Gong Ren was overjoyed when he heard this. He patted his thigh and said, "You help me. It's a big deal. Good. That's a word. Let's organize death squads together."
Both men are excited. and full of faith; Raised hands to each other. Look at each other and smile. Just when the two big hands were about to clap. Tang Qingying shouted, "And me." So the palms of the three battle-hardened hands struck together. "Smack. Syllable. Smack." A series of crisp sounds.
There is also a team that has also arrived at the Jixian Officer. It was Zhang Xiaogai of the Brotherhood who led the team. Gong Ren saw Zhang Xiaochang. Greeted warmly: "General Zhang is welcome to join our team. Fight the soldiers in one piece. But...... Why didn't Yang Dalongtou come?"
Speaking of why Yang Hongjun didn't come. Zhang Xiaogai frowned. He whispered, "Yang Da Longtou. He can't come."
"Why?" Gong Ren was a little puzzled. Yang Dalongtou is the hall master of the elder brother of the Hunan Jinlongshan Hall. He doesn't come. How can it work?
"That's right." Zhang Xiaogai slowly told the story of Yang Hongjun.
It turned out that in the 26th year of Guangxu, Gongren went from Wuhan to Sanzhoutian. On a ship. The elder brother will eat and drink the four leading dragons. Extravagance. Traveling in the clouds for the livelihood of beggars. Stole Yang Hongjun's silver ticket. In order to ask for a silver ticket. The four dragon heads vs. the beggars. As a result, Yang Hongjun was defeated by the middle of the clouds. At that time, Yun Zhongyu grabbed Yang Hongjun's neck and poured river water in the river for a while. Yang Hongjun in order to survive. Said that the silver ticket was not wanted. And promised not to find trouble with the public in the future.
Lobbying in the clouds: "There is no basis for words. You're going to have to swear a poisonous oath."" If I want that silver ticket again. Find the trouble of the public again. Only...... Only...... My wife will be bitten to death by a poisonous snake. The son drowned in the water. Buried alive on his own. My parents were burned to death in their home."
But Yang Hongjun did not fulfill his promise. At the time of the Sanzhoutian uprising. At the time when Gong Ren saved Shi Jianru. At the time of the Pingliuli uprising. Twice and again to find trouble with the public.
Few years. Yang Hongjun is really blessed. Complete one's misery.
Yang Hongjun has a beautiful and virtuous wife. And had a child. It's also a happy home. Later. My wife is pregnant with her second child. said to Yang Hongjun: "I am pregnant now. Giving birth is almost here. There is no mother-in-law cooking here. I need to go back to my mother's house. It's safer." Yang Hongjun said, "Yes."
So the husband and wife packed up and set off. Take the older children on the way back to their parents' house. Halfway through. The wife gave birth to a child. The child was born filthy and filthy. The smell of blood beckons poisonous snakes. Biting my wife to death.
Yang Hongjun was helpless. I had to endure my grief. Carrying a big child. Carrying a baby forward in your arms. Walking and walking. A large river runs across the deserted halfway. The river swelled. Block the way. Yang Hongjun enlarged by the river. Carrying a baby across the river. When putting down the baby to carry the older child. The eldest son himself jumped into the water to meet his father. Then. A wave is coming. The eldest son was swept away by the river. Drowned. When I look back at the baby again. The baby has been eaten by wolves.
Due to the battle of the rivers and lakes. There are too many enemies. Once. Yang Hongjun was drunk. Caught and buried alive by a gang of enemies. Oddly enough. After this group of enemies is gone. There are wild dogs and jackals who come to dig graves and eat corpses. Yang Hongjun was saved.
After this series of changes. Yang Hongjun was grief-stricken. Wash your face with tears all day long. Drink to relieve boredom. No psychologist. The more so. The more accidents happen at home. Once, Yang Hongjun didn't take care of the stove. It turned out to be a misfire. The rest of the family was burned to death. Only his own martial arts are strong. escaped with his life.
Gong Ren thought. Real life. Some people are clearly going to do bad things themselves. Instead, he swore a poisonous oath to prove that he would not do these bad things. In order to prove their "innocence", there really are gods and Buddhas in the universe. Man when he swears. God is listening. The poisonous oath made by people has become the choice of their future destiny.
"Then how is Yang Hongjun now?" Gong Ren asked again.
Zhang Xiaogai said: "He has entered the Buddha Gate. Reflecting on my life in the practice of meditation."
