He Haiming shouted "Someone is coming", and two guards rushed in from outside. He pointed at Gao Ming and said, "Arrest him for me!" ”

Gao Ming patted the case and said: "Presumptuous, who dares?" ”

He Haiming sneered: "Now you are still putting your stinky shelf as the governor of Jiangxi? Tie him up for me! ”

Gao Ming's eyes widened angrily and said, "He Haiming, you are so bold? Do you think the Eighth Division is your He Jiajun? ”

He Haiming snorted contemptuously: "It's useless to say anything now, for a traitor like you, I won't be soft on killing 10,000!" ”

The two guards held the rope and tied Gao Ming strongly. The two young officers ran in in a hurry, and as soon as He Haiming heard the footsteps, he knew that it was a member of the iron-blooded surveillance group who had rushed over from Shanghai with him, asking Zhang Yaoqing and Han Hui, the acting deputy commanders of Yuan Jun.

He Haiming said quietly: "You came just in time, this guy troubled my military morale and took him out and shot him." ”

Zhang Yaoqing and Han Hui glanced at each other, nodded and took out their pistols, Gao Ming's face did not change and he didn't even look at them.

"Commander He! I'm sorry! Zhang Yaoqing suddenly turned the muzzle of the gun, and the pistol was pressed against He Haiming's forehead.

"Zhang Yaoqing, what do you want to do? Betrayal of the Revolution? He Haiming roared angrily.

"Commander He, the Eighth Division is not your He Family's army, and the comrades are not fighting for you! The 1st and 8th Divisions are the Kuomintang armies and must unconditionally obey the instructions of the Party Central Committee! What kind of behavior are you doing by tying up the delegates sent by the Party Central Committee without authorization and intending to kill them? This is a mutiny! Zhang Yaoqing did not show weakness, staring at He Haiming's eyes and said.

Han Hui apologized while untying Gao Ming: "Gao Dudu, I'm sorry, our brother is a step too late to make you suffer." ”

The two guards looked at it stupidly, and Zhang Yaoqing waved his hand and said, "Go out and close the door." ”

Gao Ming snorted at Zhang Yaoqing and said, "Put the gun down, what does it look like for revolutionary comrades to face each other?" ”

Zhang Yaoqing honestly picked up the pistol, and He Haiming sat on the chair with a snort.

The guards glanced at He Haiming, and He Haiming said angrily: "You go out." ”

The gods fought, and mortals had better not join in the fun, so the two of them obediently went out, closed the door, and stood guard at the door.

Gao Ming glanced at He Haiming and said, "Don't be unconvinced, Zhang Yaoqing and Han Hui have party surnames than you!" Let me ask you, between the party organization and the party leader, which is more important? Which is more important to abide by the orders of the Party leader or the decisions of the Party Central Committee? Let me ask you again, are you a member of Mr. Sun or a member of the Kuomintang? ”

The barrage of questions made He Haiming speechless.

"Brother Yiyan, you followed me and Liu Gong and Jiao Dafeng to make a revolution at the age of seventeen, and you can be regarded as an old revolutionary, and this party surname and party principles are gone? Mr. Sun is a revolutionary predecessor, and we all admire him, but he has automatically quit the Kuomintang, and now he is no longer the leader of the Kuomintang, even if he takes 10,000 steps back and says, he is still the leader of the Kuomintang, he cannot go against the resolution of the Kuomintang Council! The group decisions of the Party Central Committee must take precedence over the individual orders of the Party leaders! ”

Gao Ming patted He Haiming on the shoulder, affectionately called his cousin, and reasoned with him seriously.

Seeing that He Haiming was a little moved, Gao Ming hit the railway while it was hot: "Now let you accept the adaptation, not to surrender Yuan Shikai, but to merge with the Jianghuai Army, Chai Dudu is the vice chairman of the Kuomintang, and the Jianghuai Army is also the party's armed forces, the first and eighth divisions are incorporated into the Jianghuai Army, and they are also the party's ranks??? The current revolutionary situation is not optimistic, the Beiyang Army occupies Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Vice Chairman Chai is struggling to support the crisis, it is the time when the comrades in the party need to work together, the party now needs the most unity, and the preservation of the flame of the revolution is the first priority, rather than fighting with the Beiyang political axe for a short period of time and burying the revolutionary comrades in vain! ”

Gao Ming carefully recalled that before leaving, Chai Dongliang explained these words to him, and felt very awkward and awkward at the time, but now he feels full of ease when he says it.

Zhang Yaoqing also said to He Haiming: "Commander, you think about it, is there any truth to Gao Dudu's words?" How critical is our current situation? If Nanjing is lost again, what will happen even if we all die in battle? If Nanjing falls into the hands of Beiyang, and Anhui and Jiangxi, which Vice Chairman Chai has painstakingly managed, are surrounded by the Beiyang Army, how dangerous will the revolutionary situation become? ”

Han Hui said angrily: "He Haiming, I can tell you that the first and eighth divisions are the armed forces of the Kuomintang, not your He Haiming's family caretaker, the Party Central Committee sent us to Nanjing to defend Nanjing and the revolutionary soldiers, not for your personal meritorious service!" ”

He Haiming was also said to be moved, he also knew the situation in Nanjing City very well, let alone fighting, starvation would make the 5,000 defenders hungry, not to mention that there were hundreds of thousands of hungry and cold people in the city.

"Gao Dudu, if we accept the adaptation of the Jianghuai Army, how should we cooperate?" He Haiming asked.

As soon as he heard this, Gao Ming knew that things had taken a major turn for the better, and basically it was a matter of course, he said with a smile: "Don't you have a wireless telegraph here!" There is an office of a Chinese and foreign newspaper in Wuhu, and if you send a telegram to the press, saying that for the sake of the peace of the country and the happiness of the people, you will voluntarily lay down your arms and accept the reorganization of the Jianghuai Army??? As for the Beiyang Army besieging the city, it will be left to us to take care of. ”

He Haiming made a decision, and suddenly felt that the heavy pressure on his shoulders had completely disappeared, but the blood qi that coexisted with Nanjing City had also been reduced by half, and he asked with a red face: "Gao Dudu, after accepting the adaptation, what should the three of us do?" Now Yuan Shikai has designated me as a first-class war criminal, and the two of them are also within the scope of arrest. ”

Gao Ming laughed and said, "If you can't even save the three of you, Chai Dudu, the vice chairman of the Kuomintang, should go home and pick up the child??? Don't worry, before leaving, Chai Dudu has an explanation, and it will be of great use to you! ”

He Haiming hurriedly said: "In this case, without further ado, please ask the Governor of Gaodu to return to Anqing and Vice Chairman Chai to discuss the matter of taking over Nanjing City." ”

Gao Ming said seriously: "No need, just send him a secret message, I will stay in Nanjing City and spend the difficult time with you!" ”

Seeing that such a big man actually took himself as a hostage and was detained in Nanjing, He Haiming and others were excited and ashamed, and felt that they had become villains in vain!

If they knew that Gao Ming would rather die than take another plane, I'm afraid it would be another idea!

??? Dividing line ???

"Mr. Xiang Yuan, could you please send a telegram to the Kuomintang directors in the Congress, and ask them to echo me??? He Haiming, Zhang Yaoqing, and Han Hui were all heroes of the Xinhai Revolution, but this time they were only bewitched and asked Yuan Shikai to issue a presidential decree to grant amnesty??? Send another secret telegram to Mr. Yang Xingcheng, asking him to contact Yuan Shikai and tell Lao Yuan that as long as he amnesties the 1st and 8th Divisions in Nanjing, I will order Jiangxi, Anhui, Fengtian, and Mongolia to vote for him and support him as the first official president of the Republic of China, otherwise I will vote for Li Yuanhong. Chai Dongliang received Gao Ming's telegram and hurriedly discussed the aftermath with Gao Chuguan.

Gao Chuguan said with a smile: "In the current form, it is estimated that Li Yuanhong can get between one hundred and fifty votes, and Yuan Shikai is probably between four hundred and five hundred votes. If nearly 100 votes from our four provinces voted for Li Yuanhong, then the fun will be great! ”

According to the just-passed Presidential Election Act, the president must obtain three-quarters of the votes in Congress before he can be immediately elected, or he will be re-elected. If Chai Dongliang's ruling area, all the votes were cast for Yuan Shikai, he would definitely be elected with a high vote, but if it was voted for Li Yuanhong, who was under house arrest, the joke would be bigger. This presidential election is very likely to be protracted, which is quite unfavorable to Yuan Shikai.

Lao Yuan now dreams of gaining the approval of the great powers, and the great powers cannot recognize the legitimate surname of the Republic of China until the official president is elected.

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "Yuan Shikai is not stupid, he can calculate this account, he won't be unable to get by just fighting for one breath and a hundred votes." He will still give this amnesty order. ”

In the elections of the Senate and the House of Representatives, although all the votes in Chai Dongliang's hands were voted for Liang Qichao's Progressive Party according to the secret agreement, the Kuomintang still became the largest party in the National Assembly by virtue of its strong strength.

If it were not for the "Second Revolution", the Kuomintang would have become the ruling party in accordance with the Provisional Constitution, and Sun Wen or other important members of the Kuomintang would form a cabinet. In this presidential election, although Sun Wen said that he would not participate in the presidential election when he met with Yuan Shikai in Yanjing, the Kuomintang could still elect others as presidents by virtue of its numerical advantage in the Congress.

Yuan Shikai was not afraid of confronting the Kuomintang on the battlefield at all, force was originally Beiyang's advantage, but if the election failed, it would be enough for old Yuan to have a headache.

If the war is launched brazenly, not to mention the peace of mind of the people at the beginning of the republic, as well as the opposition of all walks of life in the country, it will be difficult to coordinate within Beiyang alone, Duan Qirui, Cao Kun, Duan Zhigui, Xu Shuzheng??? Which of these guys is a fuel-efficient lamp? Perhaps these people will raise troops against Yuan under the banner of maintaining the republic. Beiyang will suddenly fall apart, and maybe it will be Yuan Shikai's turn to flee abroad.

However, this "second revolution" pushed Yuan Shikai's prestige to the peak, and also completely dispelled the arrogance of the Kuomintang parliamentarians. Even the Kuomintang members in the National Assembly did not dare to oppose Yuan Shikai's rebellion, otherwise they would be enemies of the world.

"Governor, can you send a telegram to the Third Division stationed in Ma'anshan?" Gao Chuguan asked.

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "Sensei, wait until tomorrow morning, after He Haiming and their telegram are reported, let's not be too late to do it!" ”

Chai Dongliang secretly said in his heart: Jiangsu Province should also be surnamed Chai, and the death date of the handsome Zhang Xun should come!
