"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and everyone was stunned, only to see the one-eyed dragon clutching its chest, its head twisted back, and stretched out its hand as if to grab something, and the eye exposed outside the blindfold widened to the limit. Blood poured from between his fingers, and he opened his mouth wide as if he was about to say something, but in the end, his lips moved slightly a few times, and he fell down with an unwilling expression.

The little squad leader was also stunned, and swept a few colleagues around him with the corner of his eye, and found that they were also at a loss.

"Anhui Yankee shot, killed people!"

"Raised by a son of a bitch, really shooting? Fight with them! ”

"Kill all these Anhui guys!"

The rebels were excited, and they raised their guns to aim at the small squad leader and others, and the bayonets were stretched forward, and the soldiers in a group almost felt the coldness of the tip of the knife piercing the military uniform.

"Close the door!" The small squad leader shouted eagerly.

Li Zhichang and the others woke up like a dream, and hurriedly commanded the guys, ran the street and closed the door. Li Zhichang ran to the office and shook the phone: "Hey, hurry up and I'll pick up the gendarmerie!" ”

On the other end of the phone, a soft female voice said unhurriedly: "Where do you want?" ”

"To the gendarmerie!"

"Excuse me, where are you?"

"Guanghua Bank!"

"Repeat, do you want the gendarmerie?"

"Yes!"

"You're there for Guanghua Bank, and you're going to pick up the gendarmerie, right? I repeat, you have Guanghua Bank there to pick up"

"Little bitch, hurry up for Lao Tzu, something big has happened, and I smashed your phone bureau!" Li Zhichang, who was almost crazy, couldn't care about his demeanor anymore, and scolded.

The other party was silent for a moment, and the call was finally connected.

"Hey, is it the gendarmerie?"

"Where are you?"

"My Guanghua Bank, a gang of rebels wants to rob our bank!" Li Zhichang's throat was hoarse.

The other party yawned and said lazily: "Got it, you wait." ”

As soon as Li Zhichang heard his tone, he knew that something was wrong, and said eagerly: "You heard clearly, the rebels are going to smash the bank, and now there is a conflict with the Anhui Revolutionary Army, and they have already been shot!" ”

"Oh, shot, huh? If you don't shoot one day, how many will you die? ”

"One!"

"One is also worth the fuss? Wait for it! ”

The phone hung up, and Li Zhichang was angry but there was nothing he could do. Just as he was scratching his ears and cheeks, he didn't know what to do, and there was another gunshot outside.

He hurriedly leaned to the window to look, only to see that the little squad leader had fallen in a pool of blood.

"Oh my God, that's great!" Li Zhichang hurriedly circled around the house.

There was a crisp sound of horses' hooves, and a group of cavalry galloped across the street corner, led by an officer wearing a large-brimmed hat. All cavalrymen wore red armbands on their arms.

Behind the cavalry was a full company of soldiers, who trotted in three columns, and everyone's footsteps were exactly the same, and between the ups and downs, the bluestone ground was stepped out of the rhythmic footsteps.

The cavalry had the reins in their hands, and more than a dozen war horses formed a semicircle, trapping more than a hundred rebels inside, and the infantry also slowed down, pressing forward with a neat pace. Although there is only one company of soldiers, it is full of murderous spirit, giving people the feeling of thousands of troops.

"Company commander, these guys want to rob the bank, and they also killed squad leader Zhang!" A soldier said with a crying voice.

The rebels also immediately fought back: "Fart, it's obvious that you fired the gun first, and the body of the one-eyed dragon is still here!" ”

"That's it, it's these Anhui guys who shot the guns, sir, you can't protect the calves and let your people talk nonsense!"

The company commander blushed and ordered the soldiers guarding the bank gate: "Carry back the body of squad leader Zhang!" Then he said to the infantry who followed: "Bring all of this back for interrogation!" ”

The rebels immediately blew up the nest and said, "Why take us away?" You shot first, and you still have to arrest our people, and there is no royal law? ”

"Brothers, don't listen to their nonsense, aren't these Anhui Yankees still facing their own people? Is there any life to go back with them? ”

"It's just that you can't go with them!"

The rebels desperately tried to squeeze outside, but were forced by a group of soldiers with bayonets, and in the crowd, a mob with a smoky face and plain clothes took advantage of the chaos to quietly squeeze out of the cracks, he slipped to the far corner of the street, looked back at the scene of the chaos, and picked out a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

There were two more gunshots, and the two rebels on the periphery were shot and fell.

"Anhui Yankees are going to kill us, fight with them!"

The rebels rushed out like no king bees. The company commander took out his pistol, fired two shots into the sky, and then shouted: "Whoever dares to move will be killed!" ”

After the gunshot, the rebels quieted down a little, and the company commander ordered: "Come on, take their guns, and escort them all to the gendarmerie!" The soldiers surrounded them and pointed their guns at the rebels, who looked at each other with their sabers in front of them. The situation is stronger than people, even if you are not happy, you can't think about it. A few clever rioters threw their guns to the ground with the sound of gunfire, and gradually a small number of people dropped their weapons.

Just as the other rebels were about to throw away their weapons and seem to be captured, they heard a noise in the distance, and the company commander rode on his horse and looked at the pergola of the hand tower, only to see groups of civilian soldiers copying all kinds of weapons, swarming from all directions, mixed with scolding and roaring from the south and the north. Looking at the surrounding streets, the black pressure is full of people, most of them do not even have military uniforms, they wear the clothes of ordinary people, and the weapons are also varied, the new style of the Mauser, the Manlisha foreign gun, the old-fashioned single-shot Bodan rifle, and even some people carry large knives and spears.

Although the weapons of these newcomers were poor, they were superior in numbers, and roughly estimated to be no less than one or two thousand. When the besieged rebels saw that there was support, their momentum suddenly became great, and they rushed out with bayonets.

Finally, one of the rebels opened fire, and one of the horsemen was knocked off his horse, and the man who fired the shot was immediately torn off his celestial cover by an angry group of soldiers with a Mauser rifle bullet.

The situation is on the verge of spiraling out of control

Dividing line

The temporary political axe office of the Nanjing Presidential Palace was located in the former Liangjiang Governor's Palace, and Huang Xing's army chief's office was next to Sun Wen's presidential office.

Kuang Haishan walked to the door of the chief's office anxiously and shouted respectfully: "Report!" ”

Huang Xing came out with a spring breeze on his face, grabbed his hand and said: "You are now a representative of Anhui Province, you can't be regarded as my subordinate, so you don't have to be so polite" and then pressed him on the chair and said, "Sit down." ”

Kuang Haishan said crampedly: "The chief is a revolutionary leader, just stand on his humble post!" ”

Huang Xing resolutely sat him down: "Between our revolutionary comrades, we won't talk about this!" This is the temporary political axe of the Republic of China, and it is not the Yamen of the Manchu Dynasty, so there is not so much poverty! After that, Huang Xing walked to the bookcase, took out a small bucket of foreign iron sheets, opened it, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I can't invite you to a cup of tea, there is no tea!" ”

Huang Xing, who has a very high prestige among the soldiers of the New Army who admire the revolution, and the deeds of him and Sun Wen have touched the hot-blooded young people like Kuang Haishan and Lu Kai countless times, so Kuang Haishan and others are ready to launch an uprising, and Lu Kai almost killed Chai Dongliang with a bomb. Kuang Haishan saw that his idol was so approachable and incorruptible, and his tears of emotion were about to fall out, and he choked up: "Chief, you don't have to be polite, I'm not thirsty." ”

Huang Xing poured a cup of boiled water and handed it over with his own hands: "You have come all the way to Nanjing, and you haven't even drunk a cup of tea, if you don't even want to drink a cup of white water, you Chai Dudu knows that you are going to scold people!" ”

A joke dispelled Kuang Haishan's nervousness, and instantly shortened the distance between the two. Kuang Haishan smiled and said, "How dare we all scold the chief? He is a great admirer of the president and the chief minister. ”

Huang Xing shook his head with a smile and said, "What do you all dare not do?" Obediently, take two duck eggs and take Wuhu, one hundred and eight horses flew to capture Anqing, this time I went to Shanghai even worse, arrested Chen Yingshi, the governor of the Shanghai army, it is estimated that the Shanghai County Court gave President Sun Da a summons, and he instigated it, this kid is bolder than the sky! ”

Kuang Haishan immediately became nervous again, and Huang Xing smiled and said: "He really didn't do anything wrong in this matter, and Mr. Sun praised him for his courage and knowledge!" ”

Huang Xing's words were not false, the newspaper published the matter of the Shanghai County Court's summons to Sun Wen, which immediately shook the whole country, and Sun Wen's handling was also very appropriate, and he sent a lawyer to Shanghai to appear in court on his behalf. The chief writers of most newspapers and periodicals in the country admired the revolutionary party, and Sun Wen was their idol. The matter of the president of Shanghai County not only did not have a negative impact on Sun Wen, but made his image more and more lofty.

The dignified president is willing to deign to be interrogated by a small county court, what a broad-minded man. It shows that he is open-minded and can't have the slightest connection with the case of Tao Chengzhang's assassination.

Compared with Sun Wen, the fact that Yuan Shikai let go of seven suspects with insufficient evidence is a bit trivial and not enough to see!

Huang Xing smiled again and asked, "Head Kuang, are you a member of the alliance?" ”

Kuang Haishan shook his head, Huang Xing was a little surprised, and was stunned for a moment and said: "Now the groups of the Communist Association, the Iron Blood Association, and the Society have all rejoined the Alliance, don't you know?" ”

Kuang Haishan smiled awkwardly: "I haven't joined any group, and of course I'm not a member of the Alliance now. ”

Huang Xing suddenly realized: "I see, if I am your introducer, are you willing to join the Alliance?" ”

Kuang Haishan was dumbfounded all of a sudden, what kind of identity is Huang Xing? He was actually willing to be his own introducer and personally introduce himself to the Alliance? In an instant, Kuang Haishan was shocked by a huge sense of happiness, and he almost fainted.

His performance was already expected by Huang Xing, Huang Xing said with a smile: "Drink water, are you used to drinking good teas such as Mao Feng and melon slices in Anhui, and you can't drink this boiled water?" Next time I come to Nanjing, I will tell you that Chai Dudu will say, don't just bring a bill of exchange, and get a few catties of good tea! ”

Kuang Haishan smiled amusedly, lowered his head and drank a large sip of boiled water, feeling that the water in Nanjing was also sweet.

Huang Xing suddenly said: "If you join the Alliance, you must take the interests of the group as the highest interest, and the individual must obey the organization." ”

Kuang Haishan nodded heavily.

Huang Xing's face was calm, and he asked seemingly casually: "The second vote is about to begin, what do you all think about the issue of the capital this time?" ”

Kuang Haishan replied: "Our governor believes that it is absolutely impossible to set the capital of Nanjing, and if the capital is made of Nanjing, it is very likely to undermine the overall situation of the current peace talks between the north and the south."

"Childish!" Huang Xing interrupted coldly: "Who is Yuan Shikai?" The prime minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the old bureaucrat! His hands are stained with the blood of revolutionaries, although for the great cause of the Republic of China, we no longer care, President Sun Da is also willing to give him the position of provisional president, but who can guarantee that he will not read in the future, and even destroy the Republic of China to implement the imperial system? Isn't our revolution going to be buried? Isn't the blood of tens of millions of comrades going to be shed in vain? ”

"And what does the chief mean?"

"We must set the capital of Nanjing and control him in our hands, so as to ensure that he will not harm the Republic of China and ruin the great cause of the revolution!" Huang Xing said categorically.

At this time, the phone rang, Huang Xing picked up the phone, and after a while, his brows twisted into the word "Sichuan", and he roared into the phone: "The members of the League actually did not obey the orders of the leader, and told them that all the members of the League among the provincial representatives will not support the established policy of fixing the capital of Nanjing in the next vote, and I will send military police to arrest them all!" With that, he hung up the phone angrily.

Kuang Haishan's hot blood suddenly cooled down, and he only felt a cool air rushing up his backbone, but he was sweaty and heavy in the cold weather.

Huang Xingqiang suppressed his anger and said with a pleasant face: "Captain Kuang, you are still young, and many things are still so deep and thorough!" ”

Before Kuang Haishan could speak, the phone rang again, Huang Xing sighed helplessly, grabbed the phone again, and after a moment he said in surprise: "What, the Anhui Revolutionary Army and the Jiangxi Revolutionary Army are fighting?" More than 200 dead and wounded? In what place? Confucius temple? I'm going to send someone over to play it! ”

Kuang Haishan was shocked, jumped up from the chair and said: "Chief, there is no way to be lowly and the emperor, please punish the chief!" ”

Huang Xingyi waved his hand and said, "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, don't rush to ask for punishment first." ”

Kuang Haishan was anxious, and saluted: "Chief Chief, let's go over and take a look now, and say goodbye!" ”

Huang Xing nodded, and then asked, "When will the ceremony be held for you to join the Alliance?" ”

Kuang Haishan took a deep breath, calmed down and said slowly: "I have to think about this matter again, think again!" ”
