"It's a conspiracy, a complete conspiracy!" Bei Yihui's face turned the color of pig liver: "Escape, can't you see it?" Chai Dongliang This is a conspiracy to attack the prestige of the Kuomintang, and to expel a Kuomintang governor from the party at an important juncture in the general election, who is it good for? In addition to facilitating his annexation of Jiangxi, it can only be beneficial to Yuan Shikai! ”

Xu Xue'er, who was only 21 years old, editor-in-chief of the "Minli Daily" and secretary of the Shanghai branch of the Kuomintang, said categorically: "Regardless of whether Chai Dongliang has a conspiracy or not, he is the vice chairman of the Kuomintang, and of course he has the right to request the convening of the council. Li Liejun's behavior is to destroy the republic, and in the long run, the hearts of the people of the Republic of China will be lost, and the restoration of the Manchu Tatars is inevitable! I am in favor of convening a council immediately and expelling Li Liejun from the party! ”

Bei Yihui sneered: "Politics is dirty, as long as there are interests, it is enough, we should not analyze right and wrong now, but look at who is more beneficial to us at the moment??? Li Liejun has promised that all the votes in Jiangxi will be cast for the Kuomintang, but Chai Dongliang has not made a clear statement so far, and he is afraid that the vice chairman of the Kuomintang is not worthy of his name! ”

Xu Xue'er shouted angrily: "The Kuomintang is a revolutionary party, from the blood of the martyr Lu Haodong to the red eighteen-star flag, tens of millions of people with lofty ideals have hung on the door of the country to have today's Kuomintang??? If you want to turn it into a club of politicians, I'm not going to say yes! I will write an article to expose Li Liejun's ugliness, and expose the true face of this kind of ruthless national thief to the public! ”

As soon as the Xinhai Revolution ended, he criticized the pigtailed handsome Zhang Xun, and published in the "Minli Daily" such as "Compatriots, Kill the Nanjing Bandit Zhang Xun Together" and "Recruiting Nanjing Athletes" and other short commentaries on current affairs. After Yuan Shikai was elected as the provisional president of the Republic of China, Xu Xueer did not show him any mercy, and the current reviews such as "Condemnation of Han Annihilation", "Revolutionary Banner of the Iron Urn Chengtou" and "Yuan Shiqi's Remorse" were also freshly released.

At that time, most of the poster halls were concentrated in the area of Wangping Street on Sima Road, and every issue of "Minli Bao" appeared, the buyers on Wangping Street were often "crowded", and sometimes there was a joint saying: "It is difficult for thousands of troops to resist the blood pen, and all the people appreciate Li Ziwen."

Like most newspaper people at that time, although Xu Xue'er was a member of the Kuomintang, he maintained the idea of reading and would never sell his conscience because of the interests of the party.

It is precisely because of his surname that Song Jiaoren admires this little brother very much, and the two stinky and hard guys have become friends who depend on each other in life and death.

After Bei Yihui snorted disdainfully, he slapped his face: "Well said, wonderful said!" The Kuomintang can now control only the three provinces of Guangdong, Hunan, and Jiangxi, and in order to raise anti-Qing revolutionary funds and the Kuomintang's party fees, the exploitation of these three provinces is much more serious than that of other provinces. What Yuan Shikai couldn't do, you did it for him, shouldn't Yanjing Zhengaxe award you a Wenhu Medal? ”

"You!" Xu Xue'er's face turned red, her hands and feet kept shaking, and then she coughed violently while holding her chest.

Song Jiaoren, who had been silent, glared at Bei Yihui: "Okay, enough of the noise, right?" Knowing that Tianfu is sick, are you still angry with him? Then he patted Xu Xue'er's back with his own hand and comforted: "Tianfu, you are not in good health, you still have to be so strong!" ”

Xu Xue'er coughed for a long time, his face turned from a sickly flush to a paper-like paleness, and he still said toughly: "At the beginning of the day, why did we revolutionize? Was it just the overthrow of the Qing court? If that is the case, the Qing court has been overthrown, should we be like Huang Keqiang to travel leisurely? Since you want to engage in party politics, the purpose must be to seek happiness for the common people in the world! is also the governor of the same province, why can Chai Dongliang's Anhui allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy the blessings of the republic, while the other governors of the Kuomintang make the people in the world miserable? Don't use any money to raise funds for the revolution as an excuse, Chai Dongliang gave Mr. Sun a lot of money, right? Fight Wuchang, fight Nanjing, prepare for the construction of Nanjing's temporary political axe, which time did Anhui not pay money? Why can't the other governors of the Kuomintang do what he can do? I think Chai Dongliang, the vice chairman of the Kuomintang, is really worthy of his name, and others are just exploiting the people in the name of revolution??? At the beginning of the retreat, what kind of people does the Kuomintang need, what kind of people do you don't need, you have to have a rod and scale in your heart! ”

After Song Jiaoren pondered for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Notify the whole party, convene an extraordinary council of the Kuomintang, and inform all directors of Li Liejun's bad deeds in Jiangxi!" ”

Bei Yihui said in horror: "You can't escape at the beginning, you really fired Li Liejun, how do you explain to Mr. Sun when you turn around?" ”

Song Jiaoren sneered: "I don't need to explain to anyone??? The party affairs of the Kuomintang are now in charge of me, not Sun Yat-sen! ”

Bei Yihui stomped his feet and said: "You guys just mess around, the Kuomintang will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!" ”

Song Jiaoren said lightly: "If the black sheep is allowed to serve as the director of the Kuomintang, then the Kuomintang will no longer be a revolutionary party, and instead of letting the Kuomintang degenerate into a dirty politicians' club, it is better for me to destroy it with my own hands!" ”

No. 21 Tongfu Road, Shanghai, a two-story Western-style house, is inconspicuous among the many surrounding buildings. This is Huang Xing's apartment in Shanghai, and he is drinking tea and chatting with Tan Renfeng, a veteran league member, on the second floor.

"If it wasn't for the hesitation at the beginning, the current president is you Huang Keqiang, at least a vice president, where is Li Yuanhong's turn!"

Tan Renfeng is a native of Hunan and a die-hard supporter of Huang Xing. During the election of the provisional president of Nanjing, only one of the deputies from the 17 provinces voted for Huang Xing instead of Sun Wen, and this vote was cast by him. To this day, he is still angry about Song Jiaoren's support for Li Yuanhong during the Wuchang uprising.

Tan Renfeng wore a poplin gown, a gray beard, and people over half a hundred years old were still full of energy, and his voice was very loud when he spoke, and the temper of the Hunan mule was still the same.

Huang Xing laughed and said, "It's all old things, Shi Weng is still chattering?" Besides, what's so good about this big president in front of him? Mr. Sun and Yuan Shikai, aren't they tired enough? It's better for us, drink tea, play chess, and have a good time! ”

Tan Renfeng snorted, shook his head and said: "Sun Wen is a pity that although his conceit is big, his intake is small, and although his determination is strong, his means are despicable. In addition to Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei, Chen Qimei and a few other people, they cannot be appointed, and the world will be chaotic if he is the king??? Although Song Dunchu is talented, his surname is too upright to change power, so he can only be the prime minister of peace, and he is unbearable to be a king??? Yuan Shikai is a remnant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he is entangled with the Tartars, and the Beiyang Army under his command is heavy and unbearable??? Heroes in the world, the only one I can afford is you Huang Keqiang, but you always refuse to compete for the first, Zeng Guofan back then could also be the king but didn't, you Huang Keqiang is the same, the king of Hunan is not angry, and he can't produce an emperor in the end! Huang Xing laughed: "Shi Weng, we are revolutionary soldiers, and this president is not the emperor!" It's a shame that you are still an old revolutionary party, how can your mind be full of things about kings, ministers, fathers, fathers and sons! Shi Weng, I heard that when you were in Tokyo, you told him that he was the prime minister of peace for thirty years? ”

Tan Renfeng nodded and said: "There is such a thing, if the life of the early escape is content with assisting the virtuous monarch and the lord, there will be a thirty-year life of the prime minister of peace, if you want to fight for the throne, then the disaster will not follow!" ”

Huang Xing personally filled a pot of dry tobacco for Tan Renfeng and handed it over, Tan Renfeng also took it and lit it with a foreign fire, and the room suddenly became full of smoke.

Huang Xing waited patiently for Tan Renfeng to get too busy before asking, "Shi Weng, what do you think of the convening of the Kuomintang Council this time?" I'm also the vice chairman, so I can't help but participate! ”

Tan Renfeng knocked on the leg of the bench with a cigarette pouch and said: "At the beginning of the escape, this is self-cutting wings, what kind of Kuomintang member is Chai Dongliang?" deceived Wuhu with two salted duck eggs, and took advantage of the chaos to take Anqing, boasting that he was Sun Wen's envoy, and let this kid mess around and actually made him the governor of Anhui??? When we started an army against the Qing Dynasty, his fetal hair hadn't faded yet! A discerning person can understand this matter at a glance, Chai Dongliang wants to fight Jiangxi's idea, this is making excuses??? A gentleman can be bullied, and only people like Song Dunchu will fall for him! ”

Tan Renfeng has always cherished Song Jiaoren's talent, and Song Jiaoren also respects him very much, but Tan Renfeng is very unaccustomed to the parliamentary politics promoted by Song Jiaoren, and always feels that it is nonsense. Tan Renfeng has always been very unaccustomed to Sun Wen and feels that he is untruthful. Sun Wen didn't have a good face for him, and after becoming the interim president of Nanjing, he didn't arrange any position for him, and he hung Tan Renfeng up.

Huang Xing sighed and said: "Since Chai Dongliang ruled Anhui, the people's hearts have been attached, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. It is time for our party comrades to reflect on it, and this move at the beginning of the retreat was not unreasonable! ”

Tan Renfeng sneered and said: "Confused, the world is in chaos to the great rule, there must be a process, which dynasty and which generation is not like this, Chai Dongliang made a big fuss about this special period, and his heart can be punished!" At present, he is in Anhui Province, bribing the hearts of the people to fight against the central government, if he takes Jiangxi again, sits on the land of two provinces, has strong soldiers and horses, is well-equipped, and has the support of foreigners behind him, who can still be his opponent in the southern provinces? Sending troops to Mongolia to regain lost territory, this is him creating prestige for himself, once the world changes, I am afraid he will attack us! ”

Huang Xing was stunned by this remark, and muttered to himself: "He has such great ambitions? Not really, right? He still respects Mr. Sun! ”

Tan Renfeng knocked the cigarette pouch pot on the table, and was heartbroken: "No? Our decades of hard work may be ruined on your 'no'! You, Sun Wen, and Dun Chu were all deceived by him???? Look at it, the one who will destroy the Kuomintang in the future will inevitably be the vice chairman of the Kuomintang??? Keqiang, you have to take precautions early."

???? Dividing line ????

September of the Western calendar is the time when the autumn grass grows, the sky and the earth are scarce, the sun will coat the grassland with a layer of gold, and the air is full of sweet and silky taste, which makes the advance soldiers who live in the south all the year round feel particularly comfortable.

More than a dozen cavalrymen galloped on the grassland, and the horses in northern Anhui were also very excited when they arrived on the Mongolian grassland, and they couldn't wait to run to the end of the sky at once.

The officer at the head whistled, grabbed the reins, and the front hooves of the war horse that were galloping at high speed stood up, and a touch of the sunset shone on a man and a horse, like an extremely magnificent northern landscape painting.

The knight on the horse was in his early twenties, and the epaulettes on his dark green camouflage uniform indicated that he was a captain company commander. Zhang Shuyang, 21 years old, graduated from Anhui Army Primary School and served as an officer in the Wuhu New Army. When Kuang Haishan, Lu Kai and others were determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty, he did not participate and missed the best opportunity. Seeing that Kuang Haishan and Lu Kai are now division commanders, Gu Mazi is also a major general and brigade commander, and he is still only a company commander??? Rich and dangerous, if he could have a little hotter blood at that time, at least he would have a regiment commander to do it, not to mention Jin Xing, who was a major general, at least he was also a school officer.

Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal, this time to recover Mongolia, for the officers and soldiers of the Jianghuai Army, it is a difficult opportunity, now it is the Republic of China, the battle is over, this time it will be difficult to get ahead without meritorious service!

As the company commander of the reconnaissance company, Zhang Shuyang personally led a squad of soldiers to search the grassland and listen to the news for the follow-up troops. Since the advance army came to the Mongolian steppe, the horse bandits who had been haunting like locusts were also gone.

"This has gone deep into the hinterland of Mongolia, and you may encounter horse bandits at any time, so be careful!" Zhang Shuyang admonished loudly.

The soldiers jumped off their horses one after another, took out black beans from the bag and filled them into the horse's mouth to replenish the horse's strength, and they patted the Hanfeng I-type short rifle behind them while feeding the horse, and said with a smile: "Company commander, my gun is hungry, and I want to take the horse bandit for meat!" ”

"What kind of gun? Our cavalry will have to fight immediately and fight to the death with sabers, and they will be bullied too much with guns! ”

The soldiers did not care about the Mongol soldiers under the command of Utai and Jebtsundamba, and it was no wonder that they were proud, since they entered the Mongolian territory, they had not even seen a small group of harassing enemies, and everywhere they went was like entering a no-man's land.

"Bang Bang"

There was a faint sound of gunfire in the distance, and Zhang Shuyang suddenly became vigilant: "Don't make noise, there are gunshots!" ”

"Company commander, don't scare yourself, it's a herdsman hunting, right?"

Zhang Shuyang glared at him, blocked the words from the soldier's mouth, and after listening carefully, he said with a solemn expression: "It's not hunting, the gunfire is very dense??? Map! ”

A soldier took off the yellow cloth map tube from his back, took out the map and compass from it, Zhang Shuyang carefully identified the direction, pointed to the north and said: "Where did the gunfire come from, the location of the Tumut Left Banner!" ”

"Get on the horse!" Zhang Shuyang waved his hand: "Go over and take a look!" ”

A dozen men urged their horses to gallop north, and gradually they could hear clearly, the sound of gunfire was very mixed, including the sound of Mauser guns, the sound of Russian Bodan, the sound of water beads, and the muffled sound of earthen guns.

Zhang Shuyang's heart tightened, the 20th Division stationed in Mongolia used the old-fashioned Mauser, and the guns used by the horse bandits under Utai were generally Russian Bodan, which should be Zhang Shaozeng's 20th Division and the horse bandits were exchanging fire. After running for more than five miles, Zhang Shuyang saw a valley, the mouth of the valley was very narrow, and the sound of gunfire came from the valley.

"Hidden!" Zhang Shuyang grabbed the reins and lowered his voice.

The soldiers jumped off the war horses and slapped on the horseback, the warhorse's well-behaved front legs knelt in the waist-deep artemisia grass, and Zhang Shuyang and other more than a dozen cavalrymen also adopted a kneeling posture, vigilant flat-end rifles, aiming at the position of the valley mouth.

"Da Da Da"

Several Mongolian horses rushed out of the valley mouth, on top of which were the Beiyang Army in gray cloth uniforms, they ran and turned back to shoot with their rifles, they seemed to be protecting a man in Mongolian robes, more than a dozen soldiers surrounded him in the middle, and then hundreds of disheveled Mongolian cavalry chased out, each of them had two horses, brandished sabers, rifles, and screamed "Hehe" in their mouths.

From time to time, the Mongols were defeated by the Beiyang army, but they did not care about the death or wounding of their compatriots, and continued to ride their horses to chase after their struggling companions on the ground.

Zhang Shuyang saw clearly that the officers and men of Zhang Shaozeng's 20th Division were wearing gray cloth uniforms, and they held the 10,000-mile Mongolian frontier with the strength of a mere regiment, and the defenders in each place often had only one company or even a platoon and a squad. Under the harassment of tens of thousands of Mongolian horse bandits, Yuan Shikai took them as his stepmother, and the replenishment of military salaries and equipment was also very untimely. It is also difficult for them to barely maintain the last trace of majesty of the central political axe on the Wanli Shuo Desert under such difficult conditions.

Zhang Shuyang hid in the grass, chewing a grass stem in his mouth, letting the sour taste permeate his mouth, but his mind was extremely clear.

There are more than 100 horse bandits, but their equipment is extremely poor, although they only have more than ten brothers, but the power of the Hanfeng I rifle is far from being comparable to the few broken guns in their hands, not to mention that they also have a grenadier canister, and each of them carries twelve grenades.

Seeing the cavalry and horse bandits of the 20th Division crossing through his front, and making sure that there were no reinforcements from the horse bandits behind, Zhang Shuyang made up his mind, and picked out a cruel sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Ready??? Fire! ”

After a burst of gunshots, there was a "pass" sound, and the grenadiers also fired, throwing special grenades into the galloping horse bandit team at a high rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute, each grenade could cover a space of more than ten square meters, and prefabricated fragments and steel balls were thrown from the sky like a rain curtain, bringing the fear of death to the horse bandits who got carried away.

The horse bandits were suddenly attacked, and they were immediately confused, and the horses were frightened by the huge explosion, and they scattered and fled in all directions.

The soldiers of the advance army hid in the grass and did not hesitate to fire bullets and grenades from grenades into the bandits, and almost every shot resulted in a person or horse falling to the ground. The training of the Jianghuai Army, which was so strict that it could be described as brutal, played a role in actual combat, and the volley of more than a dozen people made people feel as if the power of a machine gun, and free fire could bite the flesh of a gun.

The biggest threat to the bandits was the high-speed grenadier canister, with grenades used within 200 meters and special grenades beyond 200 meters. The grenadiers, honed with thousands of training and live ammunition, were able to hit almost every 100 shots within 400 meters with a simple ruler and sighting skills on the grenadier canister.

The Mongolian horse bandits were bombed and the ghosts cried wolf, and the Beiyang cavalry, who had been being chased all the time, suddenly became full of energy, turned their horses' heads one after another, and shot the Mongols with their horse spears on their horses.

Zhang Shuyang couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, the first shot of this expedition was fired by himself!
