Chapter 255: Forcing Wang Yongan Away
On June 7, 1911 in the Gregorian calendar, more than 2,000 people from various groups in Chengdu held a meeting in the railway company to establish the "Sichuan Provincial Baolu Comrades Association", elected Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun, constitutionalists as the chairman and vice presidents, put forward the purpose of "breaking the contract and protecting the road", issued the "Declaration of the Baolu Comrades Association" and other proclamations, and published the "Report of the Sichuan Baolu Comrades Association", which was posted everywhere to publicize the Baolu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and sent members to give speeches in different ways, and raised representatives to Beijing to petition.
People of all ethnic groups and social strata in Sichuan responded to the news, and the Sichuan Provincial Women's Baolu Comrade Association, the Chongqing Baolu Comrade Association, and the Baolu Comrade Branches of various prefectures, counties, townships, towns, and groups were established one after another, with hundreds of thousands of members. Teachers, students, farmers, coolies, merchants, soldiers, Hui compatriots, Qiang Tusi, Christians, monks, nuns, and Taoists gathered in various forms to denounce the Qing court's betrayal of the country and roads.
Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan Province, ordered the arrest of dozens of people, including Pu Dianlun, the head of the Baolu Association, and tens of thousands of people in Chengdu rushed to the governor's yamen to petition for the release of the arrested. Zhao Erfeng saw that tens of thousands of people were afraid that the revolutionary party would take the opportunity to revolt, so he ordered the Qing soldiers to shoot more than 30 petitioners on the spot, creating a bloody case in Chengdu.
On the day of the bloodshed, the members of the League made "water and electricity telegraphs" from wood chips, and threw them into Jinjiang to transmit police to various places, and besieged the provincial capital Chengdu from all sides under the leadership of the members of the League and the leaders of the Elders' Association, Qin Zaigeng, Long Mingjian, and others, and fought fiercely with the Qing army in the suburbs of the city, such as Hongpailou and Xipu.
Zhou Hongxun led the patrol army to launch an uprising in Qiongzhou and occupied Xinjin with the rebel army on the South Road.
Luo Zizhou led the Comrade Army of Yazhou and Xingjing to hold Daxiangling and block the Qing army.
Dazhu Li Shaoyi, Qianwei Hu Tan and other leaders of the Hui Party also rose up, and Sichuan Province was in flames for a while, and the rule of the Qing court in Sichuan Province was in jeopardy.
Due to the crisis in Sichuan Province, the governor of Huguang, Ruizi, finally stopped making things difficult for Duanfang, and ordered the 31st and 32nd bids of the 16th Association of the Eighth Town of the Hubei New Army to enter Sichuan through Yichang to suppress the uprising in Sichuan Province.
The original reason for the uprising in Sichuan Province was not to oppose the Qing Dynasty, but now it has developed into a vigorous anti-Qing movement, and the Sichuan people all hate the Manchu court, and the revolutionary party fanned the flames everywhere in Sichuan Province, coupled with a series of stupid acts of the Qing court, and finally turned the most populous province in the southwest into a powder keg for the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, all parts of the country, also because of the Qing army's suppression of the Sichuan uprising, the situation has changed, in Shanghi, the alliance headed by Chen Qimei will be so excited that he can't help himself, but he has no choice but to scratch his ears and cheeks, because the overseas Chinese army is now stationed in Shanghai County, these 5,000 elite soldiers are not those who wave their fists and legs in the patrol battalion, but they are the elite of the Jiangbei New Army, and they are the elite soldiers and strong generals prepared to deal with the Mexican rebels, known as the first army in the world.
Chen Qimei, Li Shuping, Li Xiehe, Feng Shaoshan, Li Xianmo, Shen Manyun and others were discussing how to respond to the Sichuan Provincial Uprising in Yu Qiaqing's mansion.
"Brother Yingshi, you are most familiar with Wang Jingyun, you go and set his mind." Li Shuping said.
Chen Qimei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My Jingyun brother doesn't like our alliance, and he doesn't like the Qing court, he only believes in himself, so if we launch a mutiny, he will definitely take the opportunity to seize Shanghi and annex Jiangnan." ”
"That's okay, if he annexes Jiangnan, maybe he will rebel against the Qing Dynasty." Lee Seop and Dao.
Chen Qimei said: "Others may be carried away, but Xiao Zhuge Wang Yongan will not. ”
"What the hell should I do?" Feng Shaoshan said angrily, he looked at Chen Qimei and said, "Why don't we assassinate him." ”
Chen Qimei was startled and said, "Are you crazy?" If you assassinate Wang Yongan, then Wang Yongtai's Jiangbei army will be killed immediately, and there will be an excuse to forcibly occupy Shanghi. ”
"Neither left nor right, how can I do it?" Li Xiehe muttered to himself, and suddenly he clapped his hands and said: "Do we want to be bad, as long as Wang Yongan leads the overseas Chinese army to set off and leave Shanghi, why should we deal with them." This overseas Chinese protector is a national hero, if we touch them, it will anger the people of the world, why don't we send them to the sea, what do you think? ”
"Send them to sea? How do you send them to sea? Yu Yu hurriedly asked.
Li Xiehe said with a smile: "It's very easy, we build momentum in the newspaper, let the literati and writers comment, just say that Wang Yongan is unwilling to lead the troops to the battle, and the previous threat to protect overseas Chinese is just empty words, and now the troops can't advance or retreat, but they are really afraid of losing face after losing the battle, and it is also because he is as timid as a mouse and does not dare to go to the front line in person." ”
"Wonderful!" Chen Qimei said with a smile: "My brother has the most important face, and this trick was sacrificed, and he had to lead the troops to leave Shanghi." Hahahaha...... Iron Immortal, Iron Immortal, is worthy of being my leader. Li Xiehe's status in the League was much higher than that of Chen Qimei, and with the relationship between his fellow villagers in Hunan Province, he frequently plotted against the Qing army and police in Hunan Province, and was publicly elected as the future commander-in-chief of the Shanghi Uprising. Chen Qimei is very obedient to Li Xiehe on the surface, but in fact she is jealous of Li Xiehe's status, and Chen Qimei thinks that her contribution to Shanghi far exceeds that of Li Xiehe, but because she has been excluded, she only got the position of a general secretary, and she is resentful in her heart.
Li Xiehe's methods were quickly applied by the revolutionary party, and the newspapers that were still singing praises to Wang Yongan a few days ago have now condemned Wang Yongan for supporting the army, being self-respecting, and cowardly as a mouse and not daring to send troops overseas.
At this time, although Wang Yongan stayed in the army, he always paid attention to the situation in the world, and he was extremely conflicted in his heart, because he realized that he had made a big mistake, on the occasion of the change of the world, he actually had to lead the army to Mexico to protect overseas Chinese - even if he came back to protect overseas Chinese, it would delay time, and there would be little room for expansion in the future.
"It's called cocooning." Wang Yongan laughed self-deprecatingly, Gong Wuyuan smiled on the side, and did not answer, Wang Yongan rolled his eyes and said, "You just laugh at me." ”
Gong Wuyuan said: "No...... No...... Can't. ”
After dinner, Wang Yongan sat alone in the dormitory, looking at dozens of newspapers on the table, what "General Trumpet's Stay in Shanghai", "Ill-intentioned", "How Long Will I Wait", "General Mouth Cannon"...... His heart is full of flavors, it is really heaven and hell overnight, the media can praise people as unique heroes in heaven and earth, and can also reduce people to heinous bastards, just like his current self.
Sending troops, conforming to public opinion, inspiring people to become heroes, not sending troops, and a few months later seizing Shanghai Beach to become a hegemon. Sending troops is for the country and the nation, not sending troops is for his own future, in the face of personal interests and national interests, Wang Yongan hesitated, he is not a great person, but he is not a selfish person either.
But all heroes are for memorial, and if you become a hero, you will also become a memorial to history. Wang Yongan realized that someone was forcing himself, forcing himself to leave Shanghi, forcing himself to leave China. On the surface, the mastermind behind this is probably a revolutionary party, but in fact it is the people of all China who want to leave Shanghai, and they are eager to see the Chinese soldiers' tough protection of overseas Chinese to boost the national spirit, and they are their only hope.
