Chen Yingshi's mutiny in Shanghai was crushed within four hours, which greatly boosted the morale of Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang Army, and Yuan Shikai appointed Duan Zhigui as the commander of the 1st Army to take unified command of the front. Subsequently, Duan Zhigui sat in Xinyang, Henan, with Li Chun as the commander of the Left Route Army and Wang Zhanyuan as the commander of the Right Route Army, and at the same time divided the Beiyang Army into two routes, one led by Zhang Jingyao, the commander of the 22nd Regiment of the Sixth Division, and the other led by Bao Guiqing, the commander of the Second Division, to attack northern Jiangsu.

A year ago, when Huang Xing abolished and reorganized the Southern Revolutionary Army in the Nanjing Garrison Office, he also kept a special eye on it, that is, while dismantling those units with low quality soldiers, he carried out a strict reorganization of one unit and secretly recruited middle- and lower-level officers from other units to enrich this unit, which was the Eighth Division stationed in Nanjing. The basic force of the Eighth Division consisted of the New Army from Guangxi, which was supposed to gather in Nanjing to participate in the Northern Expedition. After the reorganization, the cadre contingent of this unit was extremely strong, from division and brigade commanders to battalion and company commanders, they were basically composed of members of the alliance who had graduated from the Baoding Military Academy or returned from the non-commissioned officer school, and they were also very well armed, not only fully equipped with the current troops, but also had a pre-stored armory. In order to strengthen the strength of the Eighth Division, Huang Xing also incorporated his own guard regiment into the Eighth Division.

The Eighth Division can be called a strong soldier and a strong horse, and it is absolutely loyal to the Kuomintang and Sun Wen and Huang Xing.

At the same time that His Royal Highness Yu Ergan's First Army attacked northern Jiangsu, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun, Lei Zhenchun and other troops of the Second Army had also entered Jiangsu, putting on a posture of attacking Nanjing. After Cheng Dequan left, Huang Xing organized the headquarters of Yuan's army, and then ordered the Lengshu 3rd Division stationed in Xuzhou to immediately attack the neighboring Beiyang garrison, and ordered the 8th Division's cavalry regiment, machine gun company, artillery battalion, and engineer battalion to form a mixed detachment to go to the Xuzhou front line to support the 3rd Division, and the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division followed up; The rest of the troops of the 1st and 8th Divisions were temporarily stationed in Nanjing.

After being attacked by the Leng Shu Division, the Beiyang Army, under the command of Jin Yunpeng, the commander of the Fifth Division, held on to the reinforcements and repeatedly repelled the attacks of the Yuan army. After Zhang Xun learned that fighting had broken out in Xuzhou, he sent three battalions of wolf-like pigtailed soldiers to support without waiting for Yuan Shikai's order, and Tanaka Yu's patrol battalion also drove to the front line from Yanzhou, Shandong, and immediately joined the battle. After being flanked by the Beiyang Army, the Leng Shu Department was overwhelmed and had to retreat to Liuquan, 20 kilometers north of Xuzhou, to wait for reinforcements.

At this time, the mixed detachment of the Eighth Division and the First Brigade of the First Division also rushed to reinforce one after another, and the northern and southern armies once again engaged in fierce battles. In the Xinhai Revolution, Zhang Xun was beaten by the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army, and the favorite concubine Xiao Maozi was also arrested by the Huaishang army, Zhang Xun took out forty locomotives and eighty carriages that were plundered from Nanjing, and then ransomed Xiao Maozi from Chai Dongliang's hands, and what is even more hateful is that Chen Yingshi actually wants to strip Xiao Maozi naked and put him in a cage for exhibition, if he really does such a show, where does Zhang Xun still have the face to live in the world? Zhang Xun ordered his subordinates to launch a fierce attack on the Yuan army, and the Leng Shu department had just retreated to Xuzhou, and Zhang Zongchang, the head of the bandit-born cavalry regiment, suddenly rebelled after the division was scattered, so that the army was in turmoil, and the Yuan army was forced to withdraw from Xuzhou.

After the withdrawal of the Yuan army from Xuzhou, the Beiyang Army pressed forward step by step, and the fighting spirit of the senior generals in the Yuan army was very depressed, and Huang Xing, who was sitting in Nanjing, was also at a loss, and the entire headquarters was full of sad and defeated emotions. At this time, Cheng Dequan, who had fled to Shanghai, also came to make trouble, he issued a telegram canceling Jiangsu's reading power, and secretly ordered Huang Xing to be arrested. Under these circumstances, Huang Xing also felt that there was nothing to do, so he left Nanjing by boat at night and left.

After Huang Xing left Nanjing quietly, other high-ranking generals Hong Chengdian and Leng Shu also left immediately, and the situation fell into chaos. At this time, Cai Yin, the acting chief of civil affairs in Jiangsu, Chen Zhiji, the commander of the Eighth Division, and Zhou Yingshi, the acting commander of the First Division, simply announced the cancellation of reading power and sent people to Shanghai to invite Cheng Dequan back. Cheng Dequan was an old bureaucrat with rich political experience, and he saw that Nanjing was not yet stable at this time, so how could he come back easily.

When Xu Chongzhi proposed to send troops to aid Jiangxi and the Northern Expedition, Sun Daoren always refused on the grounds of lack of pay and equipment. When the overall situation became clear, Sun Daoren naturally sent a telegram to state his "grievances" to Yuan Shikai and announced the cancellation of reading power.

In Guangdong, Yuan Shikai's tactics were also very successful, he not only arranged two wedges of Long Jiguang and Lu Rongting to force Guangdong to fight Yuan's forces without moving, but also bribed the generals in Guangdong with money, so that Hu Hanmin and Chen Jiongming lost control of the army. In desperation, Chen Jiongming specially sent people to Shanghai to invite Cen Chunxuan, a former Qing bureaucrat who was specifically opposed to Yuan Shikai, to come to Guangdong, trying to use his previous subordinate relationship with Long Jiguang and Lu Rongting to ease the situation, but Cen Chunxuan, the old boss, was already angry in front of Long Jiguang and Lu Rongting, and instead of listening to Cen Chunxuan's advice, these two men entered Guangdong instead. Chen Jiongming followed in Sun Wen's footsteps and ran away.

The situation in Hunan is similar to that in Fujian, where the yang and the yin are violated, and the wind makes the rudder. After the defeat of Yuan's army in Jiangxi and Nanjing, the governor of Hunan, Tan Yanhong, also announced the cancellation of reading power, and then quietly fled Changsha. Yuan Shikai then sent Cao Kun's Beiyang Third Division into Hunan.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiong Kewu, the governor of Sichuan, announced his dismissal and secretly absconded from Chengdu to Tokyo.

When Huang Xing left, he did not even inform the senior generals of Yuan Jun, he left silently, and Sun Wen, who was far away in Shanghai, also took a group of cronies and fled to Tokyo on a cargo ship with the assistance of the consul general in Shanghai. The governors of the provinces who announced the reading power also fled overseas with their cronies and families, as well as gold and silver, and they walked easily, not taking a single cloud with them, but throwing tens of millions of soldiers who swore to follow them to the wolf-like Beiyang army.

At this time, the iron-blooded surveillance group established by He Haiming, Zhang Yaoqing, Han Hui and others hurriedly came from Shanghai Starry Night after learning that Huang Xing had left Nanjing, trying to save the situation. But when they arrived in Nanjing, it was too late, and Huang Xing and the others were already empty. Like the Wuchang Uprising, in the absence of senior generals, it was the lower-level soldiers who took the initiative to stand up. At the instigation of He Haiming and others, the soldiers of the 1st Division drove away the division commander Chen Zhiji, because of his son-in-law Feng Guozhang, the 1st Division and the 8th Division united to occupy the Governor's Mansion and once again declared the power of reading.

On August 2, 1913, Zhang Xun's pigtail army had already arrived at the city of Nanjing, and the defenders of Nanjing at this time could not even choose a division commander, but they still held on to the city of Nanjing??? Although they are just some of the most ordinary soldiers, and they have not even served as battalion commanders, their faith supports them to continue fighting, even if the commander has run away without a trace, even if the ammunition and food are exhausted, even if the reinforcements are exhausted, even if they fight to the last soldier!

The pigtail army vowed to wash this Jinling stone city in blood, and all kinds of Beiyang troops are also gathering here, Nanjing is already a lonely city, and Nanjing is in danger!

??? Dividing line ???

"Sun Wen and Huang Xing have fled to Yueben, Xu Chongzhi from Fujian has also fled to Yueben, Xiong Kewu from Sichuan has fled to Yueben, Hong Chengdian, Leng Shu, and Chen Jiongming have all fled to Yueben! They all like it very much, and they all agree when they run for their lives! Gao Chuguan had a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Bastard! defeated without arranging a retreat, without arranging a breakthrough, he ran away with his wife and children, and threw the soldiers to the Beiyang Army! Lu Kai scolded.

Under the indoctrination of Chai Dongliang, no matter what the moment of crisis, the officers were not allowed to leave their soldiers and run away, and those who violated the order were killed. In the concept of the Jianghuai Army, not only should not the robes be thrown away, but even the bodies of the comrades who died in the battle must be brought back for burial. The officers abandoned the soldiers and fled, which was the greatest shame in the eyes of the Jianghuai army.

Chai Dongliang was completely disappointed in these revolutionary leaders, their lives are fate, and other people's are not? The enthusiasm of the young officers and soldiers was incited to fight bloodily for the cause of these "great men", but they walked away when the danger came, and they were not even willing to notify the soldiers to break through.

Condemning their followers to death, the conduct of these revolutionary leaders simply insults the word "revolution"!

Chai Dongliang knows very well that these people are not afraid of death, Sun Wen and Huang Xing dare to carry out the revolution with their heads, and they have long put life and death out of the way, and Huang Xing once planned to assassinate the princes and ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as a human bomber.

In their hearts, they want to keep a useful body and do a vigorous career, how can they die casually? If you want to die, you have to hold the bomb and die with the regent Zaifeng or Yuan Shikai.

This is called lying on the salary and tasting the courage to fight again, and this is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

Chai Dongliang didn't know what to say about their behavior, treating the soldiers as ants, the hot-blooded young people who swore to follow him as cannon fodder that could be sacrificed at will, and their lives as clay-like cheapness!

If such a person can build a beautiful world of Ming Boil, republic, then it is called seeing ghosts in broad daylight!

"Who is in charge of things in Nanjing now?" Chai Dongliang asked.

Gao Chuguan replied: "It's He Haiming of the Iron-Blooded Surveillance Regiment, and he is now the acting commander of Yuan in Nanjing. This person is a native of Hengyang, Hunan, who used to be a member of the Communist Association, and I had a relationship with me, and he once followed Liu Gong and Jiao Dafeng. ”

He Haiming, this name is very familiar!

Chai Dongliang suddenly patted his head: "I know who he is!" ”

As an online writer, Chai Dongliang is still quite familiar with modern Chinese history, and He Haiming is also a famous figure in Chinese history, this guy is probably the first generation of street writers in China!

He Haiming's original name was Shi Jun, and his pen names were Hai, Yiyan, Hengyang Lonely Goose, Seeking Happiness, etc., and he was a native of Hengyang, Hunan.

In his early years, he studied in Hengyang Shigu Higher Primary School, and was expelled from school because the canteen manager deducted students' meal fees and took the lead in destroying the dishes, tables and stools in the canteen.

At the age of fifteen, he went to Wuhan to seek refuge with his father, entered the Lianghu Academy to study, and later dropped out of school to join the 21st Mixed Association of the Hubei New Army.

During this period, he became acquainted with Jiang Yiwu and Liu Gong of the Revolutionary Party Shouyi Sanwu, organized the Zhenwu Society, and often contributed articles to the Hankou press to advocate revolution.

Before the Xinhai Revolution, he was arrested and imprisoned by order of Ruicheng, the governor of Huguang, and was sentenced to death.

During the Second Revolution, he served as the commander-in-chief of Yuan on behalf of Huang Xing in Nanjing, captured the Governor's Mansion, re-declared Jiangsu Reading Power, and lived in Yueben after the defeat.

Later, he abandoned martial arts and literature, and opened up a unique way to advocate novels, becoming an important writer of the "Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School", and Zhou Shoujuan commented that his "Advocate Door Wedding Record" is "the only masterpiece in the Chinese novel world in 1922, which has the value of eternal circulation". However, this sentence may tout more ingredients than real things.

He Haiming has successively written "Shizhang Jingchen", "The Chinese Man", "Qinghuang Era", "Qin Yan's Biography", "Advocate Gate Red Tears", "Anger", "Modern Daughter's Sutra", "Shuofang Jian'er Biography", "Pingquan Heroes Robbing Wealth", "Whampoa Blood and Tears", "He Haiming's Novel Collection", "The Story of the Strange Boy in Prison", "Seeking Happiness Zhai Cong Words", "Seeking Happiness Zhai Essays", ??? and a large number of works, but they have never really become popular.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he refused to give his life to himself, and finally died of poverty and illness, and after his death, he didn't even have the money to buy a coffin.

Thinking of the articles he published with countless vests at the starting point before the crossing, Chai Dongliang couldn't help but feel that he was a brother and a brother.

It's time to make a move, even for the sake of these simple and lovely young people, as well as the street writer brother who is also a fallen person at the end of the world, Chai Dongliang must also take action??? To hell with the intrigues of those politicians!

??? Dividing line ???

The camp of the Beiyang Army is set up outside the city of Nanjing, a five-in, five-out mansion was requisitioned by Zhang Xun and became his command post, Zhang Xun was dressed in a military uniform, with Wenhu, Jiahe and other medals hanging on his chest, he was wielding a Yanling waist knife in the courtyard, and was singing "Dingjun Mountain" in his hoarse voice.

"This letter came by chance, and God helped Huang Zhong to successfully work, standing at the camp gate, and the herald, and the big and small sons listened to the roots and sprouts, and the war was made; Two drums, tight robes; Three-way drum, knife out of sheath; Four drums, the soldiers handed.

There are rewards for each of them, and a knife on the back item. ”

Zhang Xun picked up a watermelon, put it on the stone table, and split it in half with a Yanling knife, and the red and black seeds were immediately presented.

"Good," a group of officers and masters with braided hair cheered.

"Da Shuai's voice compares to Boss Tan!"

"Come, everyone eat watermelon!" Zhang Xun greeted warmly.

The officers and masters of the pigtail army got together to eat watermelon, and the juice they ate flowed, and Zhang Xun laughed when he saw it.

"Dashuai, the walls of this Nanjing City are too thick, and the cannon is a shallow pit when it hits it, and it is so high that it is fucking enough to climb up! This Feng Guozhang is still watching the excitement from the sidelines, and he refuses to contribute! An old officer with gray braids said while eating watermelon.

Zhang Xun was also a little embarrassed: "Yes, this Nanjing City is too fucking strong, and it took the Hunan army to attack for a few years before taking it, which is really a thing!" ”

A Shaoxing master twisted the mouse's whiskers and said, "What are you afraid of?" Zeng Jiushuai dug a tunnel and blew up the city of Nanjing, and some of our Dingwu army were coal blacks for digging coal, so wouldn't it be okay for them to dig a tunnel? ”

Zhang Xun slapped him on the shoulder: "Good strategy, grandma's, the reader has a lot of ghost ideas!" ”

This slap almost cracked the master's shoulder, and he forced a smile with a bitter face: "Where, it is because of the teachings of the master that the student has such a little insight." ”

Zhang Xun laughed and said: "Tomorrow inform the children, launch a feint attack from Shence Gate, Taiping Gate, and Tongji Gate, and then quietly dig a hole under Chaoyang Gate, and when the city wall is blown up, I will break the bodies of all the braided rebels and thieves in Nanjing City!" ”

He said it with a smile, but it scared everyone out of a cold sweat.

A personal soldier wearing a [***] hat ran in from outside, and he stood up and saluted and said, "Your Excellency, Mr. Mei Cun, the consul general of our country in Nanjing, is here." ”

Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, and then touched his oily head and said: "Haha, shouldn't the rebels in the city be scared, please say that I am ready to surrender, right?" ”

At the same time, his subordinates held their stinky feet and said: "The handsome and wise, it must be so!" ”

Zhang Xun waved his hand and said, "Please!" ”

After a while, Consul Umegawa, who was less than 1.6 meters tall and wore a loose Western-style tuxedo with a Rendanhu and a loose Western-style tuxedo, walked in angrily, looking around with triangular eyes, his face was pale.

"Your Excellency the Consul General has arrived, you have missed the distance, forgive your sins, forgive your sins!" Zhang Xun clenched his fists and arched his hand.

"Yaga!" Umegawa roared as he tapped his cane on the ground.

Zhang Xun was suddenly shocked: "Your Excellency Consul General, why are you angry?" ”

Mei Chuan poked Zhang Xun's nose with his cane and shouted: "Your soldiers have injured two nationals of the Great Imperial Empire and killed one person, I want you to explain it to me now, otherwise the Emperor [***] team will treat you as enemies and give you the most painful blow!" ”

Zhang Xun's frightened face was like earth, and he muttered, "Won't it?" Is Mr. Consul General mistaken? ”

Mei Cun sneered arrogantly: "Since you don't admit it, then I'll take my leave!" ”

Zhang Xun hurriedly grabbed Meicun and said in a low voice: "Adults are angry, angry!" Send someone to investigate, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer! After that, he turned his face and said viciously: "You rabbit cubs, hurry up and find out the murderer for me." ”

The subordinates were silent, and after a long time, the old officer with white braids said tremblingly: "I heard that a few people from the third company of the second regiment went to the city to collect food last night, and it seems that they robbed a few things of their own, and they also started to move on both sides!" ”

Zhang Xun was furious and kicked him to the ground: "Wang Ba Lamb, why didn't you say it earlier?" Someone came and tied up all the soldiers who had injured my friend??? No, shoot it directly to make my friend angry! No, kill all the soldiers of that company! ”

The subordinates looked at each other, and when they saw that Zhang Xun was about to get angry again, they hurriedly ran out.

Zhang Xun hunched his waist and said flatteringly: "Your Excellency, are you satisfied now?" I'm going to shoot all those bunnies and promise not to bend the law for personal gain, do you want to watch the execution yourself? ”

Mei Chuan's face softened a little, and he sneered: "I must go to see it, and you must make compensation for the other people who injured the people of this empire, and I want you to apologize to the consulate in Nanjing." ”

Zhang Xun nodded like a chicken eating rice: "There must be compensation, there must be compensation, and the humble position must satisfy the consul." However, now Nanjing is still occupied by the chaotic party, and the humble post can only enter the city to apologize in person until the city is broken, please forgive me! ”

Mei Chuan thought for a while, then nodded and said: "When you arrange the execution ground, I will go to watch the execution, anything that hurts the people of Dayu is absolutely not allowed!" ”

"That's nature, that's nature!"

After sending Consul Meichuan out of the door, Zhang Xun was relieved and changed his hideous face: "Have those guys who caused trouble for Lao Tzu been arrested?" They are all tied up and sent to the execution ground, Consul Umegawa wants to see it! ”

???

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for everyone's guaranteed monthly pass for August, Tangyuan has been updated with 18,000 words today, it's hard enough!

During the Second Revolution, Zhang Xun caused a horrific massacre in Nanjing, but the pigtail army injured three people while messing around, and the minister in China immediately made the most serious protest to Yuan Shikai's Yanjing political axe, and the soldiers of this book also petitioned the political axe, asking for revenge. This not only scared Yuan Shikai a lot, but Zhang Xun was also scared enough. In the end, Zhang Xun had no choice but to go to the consulate in Nanjing to apologize in person, and he didn't have a temper at all.

Because of this, Zhang Xun didn't sit hot in the position of "Governor of Liangjiang", and was finally sent by Yuan Shikai to be the Yangtze River patrol envoy.

Fierce and brutal to the common people of his own country, and subservient to foreigners, Zhang Xun is a slave who fully explains what it means to be "cruel at home and cruel at home".

I'm extremely tired of this kind of person, and Tang Yuan will let him get a boxed lunch as soon as possible.
