Lu Huitian is a person with a strong personality, even if he cried because he was relaxed, but when he finally wiped his face with a towel, Lu Huitian had regained his composure. "Chairman Chen, let's continue to talk about work. I feel like I've been wronged, but now it doesn't seem like that's exactly the case. ”

Chen Ke can understand Lu Huitian's feelings very well, which is also a new understanding of Chen Ke recently. If there is no revolutionary consciousness, it is too easy for people to feel aggrieved in revolutionary work. Chen Ke said very seriously: "Comrade Lu Huitian, it is very difficult to establish revolutionary beliefs, revolutionaries are materialists, they believe in science and democracy. I believe that I can continue to understand the world and transform the world. If you don't recognize the social nature of human beings, it will be very difficult to work. ”

Lu Huitian does have this understanding, when Chen Ke was presiding over the work in Hubei, because of the huge pressure, Lu Huitian's purpose of doing things once became to want others to agree, but fortunately, Lu Huitian is indeed capable. He soon discovered that this was wrong, and Chen Ke would never rely on other people's evaluations to decide the work of comrades. "Business is business", Lu Huitian believes that this sentence can be used as his revolutionary guide in a sense.

A revolution is a revolution, and the success or failure of a revolution is made up of the success or failure of revolutionary work. If this attitude is taken as a benchmark, any attempt to rely on others to prove oneself is an almost counter-revolutionary approach. After really realizing this, personal favor is insignificant, and even taking personal favor as a benchmark to measure one's own value is extremely harmful.

Lu Huitian really wanted to discuss these feelings with Chen Ke, but he felt that after he really understood this, it would be too pointless to discuss them. Comrades who understand these things have just come to their senses, and it is superfluous to talk about these things out of thin air. Comrades who don't understand just don't understand, and there is no point in talking about it, but it will lead to a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings.

After thinking about it, Lu Huitian asked, "Chairman Chen, do you have any other work to explain?" If not, I have a lot of things I want to ask you. ”

Chen Ke waved his hand and leaned back in his chair, "Comrade Lu Huitian, do you have a heart-to-heart meeting, but the retreat is not pragmatic." There are grievances and grievances, and there are bitter complaints. However, after the heart-to-heart meeting, you still have to do how to do the work, and you can't bring your emotions to the work. Therefore, Comrade Lu Huitian, there is a party committee and an organization in the work. I am talking to you to make you psychologically relaxed, so that you can put down your burden and move forward lightly. After I leave Hubei, everything at work will be pressed on you, and I will definitely have to look for you if something goes wrong. I hope you can learn to relax and learn to know yourself. ”

Hearing Chen Ke say this, and looking at a serious but relaxed attitude, Lu Huitian finally determined that Chen Ke really believed in himself completely, and really never thought of resolving the differences in the direction of work in Hubei by removing himself. After confirming this matter, Lu Huitian also had a rather pragmatic joy in his heart. This means that Lu Huitian can continue to complete his own work in his post in Hubei.

Since it was out of such a pragmatic attitude, Lu Huitian immediately found that his preparations for Chen Ke's departure from Hubei were not sufficient at all. At this time, there are many questions I want to ask Chen Ke. "Chairman Chen, I think the current work in Hubei is getting more and more difficult. When you are in charge of the work in Hubei, many tasks become easy and simple. Chairman Chen, if you want to leave, I don't know the bottom of my heart. ”

Chen Ke said with a smile: "Comrade Lu Huitian, what does the party organization do?" Isn't it just to solve problems through organization? If you think I can lead the work in Hubei, that's not right. It's not that I can lead, but that the party organization is now running more and more smoothly. Comrade Lu Huitian, the last time you talked about progress, I felt that this was the attitude of a true revolutionary. The times are advancing, and so is the revolution. We are progressing, and the enemy is improving......"

Lu Huitian interrupted Chen Ke's words, "The problem is that Chairman Chen, you are leading everyone to progress, and I can't do this." ”

"Comrade Lu Huitian, why did I choose you to be the secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee at that time, because you have an advantage that I can't compare. You may not be very good at pioneering, but you are good at organizing. You are very good at institutionalizing the organization. This time you were able to withstand the pressure and understand the current situation on your own, which proves that you do have such strengths. When ordinary comrades encounter this kind of organizational pressure, they lose ground. I don't know where to put myself. If you've found your place, you're up to the job. ”

"That's just me letting it out." Lu Huitian smiled helplessly.

Chen Ke nodded again and again, "Yes, the problem is that many comrades can't get out." Therefore, your current job is to organize your comrades through the system, complete the work in front of you, and sing what song on what mountain. Now Hubei's job is to complete the huge investment in front of us, and the social impact of such a huge investment will also be great, and you have to stabilize the situation on the basis of the concept of our People's Party. At this stage, you must not only stabilize these tasks, but also lead your comrades to deepen their understanding of social labor and social progress in their work. ”

After hearing this, Lu Huitian determined the direction of his work, and he asked with a smile: "Just kidding, will this lead to rightist tendencies?" The purpose of this work is to establish order, and if the comrades feel that there will be changes in the future, people's hearts will be unstable. ”

Chen Ke also smiled, "You! As long as we grasp this fundamental aspect of the workers' union, no one can be above the laborers. Grab this core, and that's it. And I would like to give you the job of a big right, to promote enterprise costing in the industrial sector. Management positions are only a part of the labor process, and managers are not the old men of the past, but the management work is not a good person in the traditional sense. You try to spread the word. ”

The nature of the BJP determines that the retreat must be held as a pragmatic meeting. In other political forces, the relationship between Chen Ke and Lu Huitian would definitely evolve into "suspicion between monarchs and ministers", but in the new political system, the contradiction has been completely resolved. When Chen Ke and Lu Huitian agreed on the basic point that "all choices are for the sake of completing the revolutionary work", the dispute became a simple and straightforward discussion.

This is a characteristic of the BJP, and it is also something that other political forces absolutely cannot understand. For example, in Beiyang, China's largest political group.

"Cao Kun doesn't want to go to Shaanxi?" Yuan Shikai asked coldly.

"Yes, Cao Kun means that he wants to pacify Inner and Outer Mongolia. Someone may have spread some news. Wang Shizhen replied.

"Who got it out?" Yuan Shikai asked.

Wang Shizhen shook her head, but did not answer.

Based on Yuan Shikai's understanding of Wang Shizhen, this matter must not have been passed on by Wang Shizhen. Now the generals of the Beiyang are trying to seize an advantageous position, and of course, if this position can bring rich returns, so much the better. This news should not have been spread by Lu Huitian, Yuan Shikai made such a judgment. The People's Party knew very well about advance and retreat, and since they had great intentions, they did not cause trouble for Yuan Shikai in such trivial matters at all. Then it must have been the news that some squires had betrayed.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shikai was angry and helpless. He knew that this kind of thing could not be avoided, even Yuan Shikai himself, when the Empress Dowager Cixi was alive, he worked hard to make friends with eunuchs. In many cases, a few simple sentences of dialogue contain great benefits. With Cao Kun's character, if he didn't know that Yuan Shikai was going to invest in the wool business, he would definitely not be willing to go to a bitter cold place like Inner and Outer Mongolia. Now that he took the initiative to ask Ying, he definitely knew some inside information.

And Cao Kun knew about this, needless to say, the news would soon spread throughout Beiyang. Everyone wants to make a profit from Zhangjiakou, the future focus of trade.

"Okay! Since Cao Kun was willing to go to Inner and Outer Mongolia, he let him go. Yuan Shikai stood up and said with his hands behind his back, "Then is Feng Guozhang willing to go to Fujian?" ”

"Feng Guozhang is willing to go." Wang Shizhen replied. Beiyang Sanjie, the dragon of Beiyang, Wang Shizhen, is good at strategy, and he is the most important mastermind of Yuan Shikai, giving people the feeling of acting unfathomable. Duan Qirui, the tiger of the North Ocean, dares to act and is very capable. Feng Guozhang is known as the dog of the North Ocean because of his loyalty and willingness to do very troublesome but unremarkable work. So Feng Guozhang doesn't pick fat and thin at all.

Seeing that Yuan Shikai was very depressed, Wang Shizhen continued: "Yuan Gong, Cao Kun can also be regarded as acting decisively. Now that Shaanxi is in such chaos, he is also a suitable candidate. If he refuses to go, I think it might as well let Duan Qirui go. It is necessary not only to control Shaanxi, but also to consider the future from Hanzhong to Sichuan. Sichuan cannot fall into the hands of the People's Party in any case. Yun Gui is now in the power of Wutang, and Cai Ye is already up-and-coming. Moreover, I heard that Yunnan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guizhou and the two Guangxi regions are talking about alliance and self-protection. If it drags on for too long, I'm afraid that Sichuan will also be involved. Since we in Beiyang have decided to stabilize the situation, it is better to prepare as soon as possible. ”

"I know all of what you said, but I don't have the money to pull it out. I originally thought that if Cao Kun was willing to be the governor of Shaanxi, he would not have to pay so much for promotion when he sent troops. But Duan Qirui's subordinates made a lot of money in Jiangnan, so they can be in Beijing, but I really don't feel at ease if they go to Shaanxi to work hard. Yuan Shikai replied. The Beiyang Army needs a large amount of economic stimulus in every war, and Yuan Shikai knows this very well.

However, Shaanxi was more chaotic than Fujian, and it was not the New Army that rebelled, but the Shaanxi League. To be more precise, it was the elders of Shaanxi who rebelled under the leadership of the members of the League. For this group of people, Yuan Shikai must be completely eradicated. The People's Party can no longer be shaken, and Yuan Shikai can only admit it. If the new revolutionary party took possession of the land, Yuan Shikai was not at ease with this.

"Yuan Gong, it's better to let Duan Qirui come back to take charge of the War Department, and I will take the troops to Shaanxi." Wang Shizhen gave a new suggestion.

Yuan Shikai immediately refused, "No, you have to stay in the central government." Ask anyone who would like to go to Shaanxi. ”

If Cao Kun knew Yuan Shikai's evaluation of him, Cao Kun would definitely shout that he was wronged. In fact, Cao Kun really wanted to go to Inner and Outer Mongolia not because of economic problems, but because he knew that he might not be able to fight Shaanxi.

More than a month has passed since the war in Shaanxi, and detailed news has been transmitted back to Beijing. The Ganshan Green Battalion has always been brave and good at fighting. Although one of the kings of Jingqin was completely wiped out, this did not make Cao Kun, who knew the inside story, underestimate the Ganshan Green Camp. Without Beiyang's covert moves, the People's Party would not have been able to ambush so easily.

And the Ganxi Green Battalion was wiped out in Xi'an City, and the tragic battle in it was also a bit of a singing and crying flavor. Since the troops of the Ganshan Green Battalion were completely annihilated, the Ganshan Green Battalion has felt the danger of the revolution. The troops involved in King Qin were all loyal to the imperial court, and after the gang was finished, the Green Battalion began to reorganize its army. The Shaanxi Elders' Association has finally found an opportunity. The leader here is Zhang Yunshan.

Zhang Yunshan is a native of Taiyi, Chang'an, he dropped out of school at an early age, and learned to play the trumpet with a Shanxi person, and later the trumpet skills were named Guanzhong. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, he served as a soldier in the Taoqinsu camp and traveled all over Qinghai and Xinjiang. After returning to Shaanxi, he served as the commander of the Ministry of Coordination in the Military Academy and the Army Primary School, and when he was training the New Army, he became the commander of the Ministry of Cooperation. A year before the Xinhai Revolution, he opened a mountain hall in the New Army. Because he was bold, sociable, and got along well with the soldiers, Kaishantang soon absorbed more than 1,000 brothers and formed his own power in the new army. Zhang Yunshan relied on this strength and became a celebrity in Shaanxi.

In the eyes of the Brotherhood, the so-called "revolution" is nothing more than the destruction of the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of sight. The uprising was successful, and the day had come for the elders to come out. As a result, the leaders of the Brotherhood of Elders openly hung up Hongmen signboards everywhere, opened mountains to worship their ancestors, scattered the bottom of the sea, and expanded their power. Make Xi'an a miasma.

And after Yuan Shikai usurped the central power, he convened a national assembly, which gave a clear hint to the congregation of the Brotherhood, "The power in your own hands is power." "The autonomy of the provinces means that the people of Shaanxi are the masters of their own affairs, and the Elder Brothers' Association, as a native of Shaanxi, is far more representative of the Shaanxi region than these people on the table now.

The local League in Shaanxi contacted the Brotherhood and formed the Shaanxi Revolutionary Party Alliance. These people were originally going to revolt on October 6 (the 15th day of the eighth lunar month). The news of "killing the Tartars on 15 August" spread far and wide and spread everywhere. Due to the strict precautions of the Shaanxi authorities, the Shaanxi authorities sent people to listen everywhere and even open letters in order to grasp the plans of the revolutionaries for the uprising. After some detectives, it was found out that the Jianben School and the Public Welfare Bookstore were the secret activity bases of the revolutionaries, and at the same time found out the names of some revolutionaries, so Shengyun, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, ordered an immediate conspiracy to arrest and execute these revolutionaries.

In order to arrest the revolutionaries in the New Army, they decided to transfer the New Army to other counties in batches, on the one hand to disperse the forces of the New Army, and on the other hand, to hunt down and kill the revolutionaries separately, and at the same time to transfer the patrol units stationed in other counties to Xi'an, the provincial capital, to strengthen the city's defense forces. The situation is dire, and an uprising is imminent. At this time, Jing Bemu and other leaders of the League were not in Xi'an because they went to Weibei to organize an uprising, and the revolutionaries Qian Ding, Zhang Fian, and others agreed to start the incident in advance on the evening of September 10, and decided that Zhang Fenghui, a staff officer of the New Army Association Headquarters and the commander of the Second Standard and First Battalion, would serve as the commander-in-chief of the uprising.

September 10 is Sunday, the day the salaries of the Forces nouvelles are paid. After receiving their salaries in the morning, most of the rest of the barracks left the barracks, except for a few officers on duty. After breakfast, Zhang Fu and Zhu Xuwu led the new army to enter the city from the west gate in the name of going to Baqiao to wash horses, and successfully arrived at the Dongyang City Military Uniform Bureau as originally planned. At this time, hundreds of unarmed soldiers and Brotherhood brothers had gathered around the Uniform Bureau. It was already about 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Fan saw that the situation was urgent, and he was afraid that there would be another change that would destroy the entire uprising plan, so he immediately made a decision and ordered to rush into the military uniform bureau to grab the gun. Then he opened the prisons of Xianning County and Chang'an County, released the prisoners, and shouted everywhere: "The righteousness is full, and it has nothing to do with the Han people and merchants!" "Citizens are asked not to panic.

When Zhang Fenghui heard the gunshots, he led the army to quickly rush to the Military Uniform Bureau through the West Gate, and on the one hand, he organized troops, set up posts and defenses to guard against the Qing army's attack, and on the other hand, notified the new rebel army to set up a temporary headquarters in the Military Uniform Bureau to facilitate liaison and unified action. The other rebel armies also quickly occupied various strongholds as planned. Qian Ding led his troops to occupy the yamen of the domain and the drum tower, one of the commanding heights in the city; Zhang Baolin led his troops to occupy the South Courtyard Gate of the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen, and Wan Bingnan led his troops to occupy the Military Senate's Yamen. The residents of the city, seeing the uprising of the new army, boiled and cheered, some sent food and drink to the rebels, some set a table at the door to put tea to comfort the rebels, and some cut off the braids at the back of their heads, wrapped their arms in white cloth, and participated in the uprising. The Hui people in the provincial capital also gave strong support to the rebel army. On the eve of the Xi'an Uprising, Zhang Yunshan and Ma Yugui (Hui), the leaders of the New Army, entrusted Jin Qiheng, Bai Yulin, and others, leaders of the Hui Middle Brother Association, to secretly organize the Hui Army to prepare for the uprising. On the day the Xi'an Uprising broke out, they received a notice from Zhang Yunshan and Ma Yugui and immediately responded. Ma Wenying, who had a certain reputation among the Hui people and had served as a pipe band (battalion commander), also gathered more than 500 Hui people to arrive at the Military Uniform Bureau from West Street through Mutou City, received guns and ammunition, and was ordered to maintain order in the Hui area, and actively participated in the siege of Mancheng. Thanks to the swift movement of the rebel army and the strong support of the general public, the rebel army took control of most of the outside of the city in only half a day.

Mancheng is the area where the troops of the Eight Banners of Xi'an and their dependents are stationed and lived, and there are walls built around it for defense. After receiving the news of the uprising of the new army, Wen Rui, the general of Xi'an, immediately rushed back to Mancheng from the Advisory Bureau, and ordered the Mancheng garrison to close the city gates, stubbornly resist and stubbornly defend it, and confront the rebel army across the city wall.

The next day, the rebels began to storm the Manchurian walls. It was a tough battle, and there were thousands of accounts for how many people died in the course of the battle. But as a result of the war, the Green Battalion, including the Manchurian area, was killed and not a single chicken and dog remained.

According to the news obtained by Cao Kun, the rebel army had established its purpose before the war, and "after the war, there will be no chickens and dogs". The news spread widely. And General Xi'an, Wen Rui, who is a Manchurian, also said this in the emergency telegram. He begged Yuan Shikai to send troops to mediate the matter, as long as the rebels were willing to let the people live, they only hoped to be able to go to the northeast alive to farm, and they didn't want any other belongings. The telegram also made it clear that if the rebels attacked the city, they were ready to die together.

With such a decisive attitude to fight, these Ganshan green battalions must have fought hard to break through the city wall. And in the end, tens of thousands of people in the city were slaughtered, which could not be done without tens of thousands of troops.

Thinking that he was going to fight with such a group of people, Cao Kun was very uncertain. Of course, he is willing to be the governor of a province, but if he fails, the competitors behind him will line up to kick Cao Kun. Cao Kun can't fail, not only can he not be the governor of Shaanxi, but he will also not be able to mix with the governors of other provinces in the future. In comparison, going to Inner Mongolia is a relatively easy job.

As for Yuan Shikai's firm belief that Cao Kun is looking at the future wool business, he really wronged Cao Kun.

However, Beiyang's current system is like this, everyone talks on the scene, and when they actually do things, they always give priority to their own interests. From this point of view, Yuan Shikai did not completely wronged Cao Kun.
