Sun Dacang's speech was very successful, and the ambitions of the revolutionaries were aroused, and even Huang Xing's position was slightly shaken.

At this time in China, the Beiyang political axe was surrounded by a voice for the abolition of the salt tax.

This made the Kuomintang think that the opportunity had come, especially Sun Dacang, who had received the support of Yu Ben, and this time he returned to China with a special task, that is, to overthrow the Beiyang political axe by force.

Of course, he appeared with a face of supporting Sun Dacang's revolution, but in fact he wanted to plunge China into a civil war, and Sun Dacang also wanted to realize his personal dream of presidential centralization through force.

…… On 13 April, Sun Cannon set up a general headquarters in Nanjing, and promoted Huang Xing as generalissimo of the army and navy. He also telegraphed to the provinces, shouting the slogan of the second revolution, demanding that all provinces work together to overthrow the rotten Beiyang political axe and severely punish the real culprit of the assassination of Song Jiaoren.

Sun Cannon's shout shocked the whole of China!

Yuan Shikai was shocked, at this critical juncture, the Kuomintang suddenly jumped out to launch a second revolution, how could it not surprise Yuan Shikai into a cold sweat.

Yuan Shikai did not take the Kuomintang seriously, but at this critical juncture, Yuan Shikai was deeply afraid that the East China Autonomous Political Axe was behind the ghost.

Once this happens, his central political axe is in danger.

On the thirteenth day, Yuan Shikai had planned to set off south to meet Xia Jun in Huai'an, and suddenly such an incident shocked China, Yuan Shikai had to cancel the trip, and hurriedly sent a telegram to ask what was going on with the East China Autonomous Political Axe.

…… In Hangzhou in April, all departments are busy, spring sowing is coming, and most of the departments are coordinating this year's agricultural policies, or busy with their own construction plans.

Xia Jun was holding the child at home that day, a boy and a girl, and the appearance of two little ones made Xia Jun's words a lot more fun.

So much so that now Xia Jun has significantly increased the time spent at home, and Tana came to Hangzhou in early April, and her affairs in the United States were basically handled almost completely, so she went to Hangzhou to spend time with Xia Jun.

In the past few months, Tana has been back twice before, but both times she stayed for two days and left. This time, Tana is going to spend a month in Hangzhou and then return to the United States to manage the affairs of the group, and when she is away, the business of the group will be handed over to her father.

Tana's father is also a big businessman, one of the major shareholders of American Steel Corporation, and his business ability is still very strong. However, her father obviously did not know that Tana had given birth, and only wondered why she was running to China all day, but he felt that his daughter's Chinese partner was indeed very capable, and he expected his daughter to bring back new technology.

Xia Jun was taking Li Shijing and Tana to the opera house at the foot of the lonely mountain in West Lake to watch a movie this day, and this time the new release is the new costume romance film "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" released by Huasheng Film Company.

Huasheng Group is obviously addicted to making romance films, after all, the production of romance films is small, the cost is low, the shooting time is short, and the market seems to be good.

Xia Jun obviously has no interest in this movie from Huasheng Film Company, and for him who travels through, this is an old-fashioned movie.

However, Li Shijing and Tana haven't seen it, and both girls strongly want to see it. Xia Jun had no choice but to accompany them to the cinema to watch the premiere.

Entering the cinema, Tana cried after watching this old-fashioned romance film in Xia Jun's eyes, she has been in China for so long, she can already understand Chinese, but she doesn't speak much.

"They're so pathetic." Tana snuggled up to Xia Jun's chest and wiped her tears from her eyes as she watched the big screen. Li Shijing leaned on the other side, also wiping her tears, but she didn't cry so much.

"Yes! They are so pathetic. Xia Jun agreed, and then smiled: "But we're very happy, aren't we?" ”

"Hmm!"

Just as Xia Jun was holding a love affair with one hand, there was a knock on the door outside the box.

"What's the matter?" Xia Jun tilted his head and asked, and the two girls also tilted their heads to look over.

"Chairman, there's an emergency." Zhou Shunze said outside.

Xia Jun looked at Li Shijing and Tana, and Li Shijing said, "You go and deal with it!" ”

"Okay." Xia Jun asked for permission, pulled out his arms and stood up, and then walked out of the box. Pushing open the door, there were more than a dozen SS guards standing outside, and there were many plainclothes guards in the cinema protecting Xia Jun's safety.

"What emergency?" Xia Jun asked.

"Sun Yat-sen and other Kuomintang people recently telegraphed the whole country to launch a second revolution to overthrow the Beiyang political axe, which is an urgent telegram." Zhou Shunze said and took out the telegram and handed it to Xia Jun.

Xia Jun listened in disbelief, and unconsciously raised his voice and asked, "What?" The Second Revolution? ”

"Yes." Zhou Shunze replied. Xia Jun quickly checked the telegram, which was sent by Sun Dacang to the provinces, in which he threatened to severely punish the murderer of Song Jiaoren, and claimed that the Beiyang political axe imposed a salt tax and was corrupt [***], and the people of the current Chinese provinces should unite and fight the rotten Beiyang political axe to establish the real Republic of China.

"Go to the military building." After reading the message, Xia Jun hurriedly dropped a sentence and walked outside the movie theater.

At this time, Xia Jun was constantly scolding his mother in his heart, originally thought that the second revolution would not happen, but he didn't expect that the second revolution would still happen, and it was advanced because of the salt tax turmoil this time.

Sun Dacang obviously wanted to take advantage of the salt tax crisis of the Beiyang political axe to take the opportunity to defeat the Beiyang political axe, and they thought that the East China Autonomous political axe would not support Yuan Shikai.

**！

The more Xia Jun thought about it before getting into the car, the more angry he became, and scolded in English, which made Zhou Shunze and the others not understand what the chairman scolded, but looking at the chairman's expression, he knew that the chairman was very angry.

…… In the military department building next to the administrative department building, Xia Jun urgently convened a high-level meeting.

The top leaders of the army, navy and air force, as well as the high-ranking personnel of the Ba'ath Party, were urgently called, and the personnel arrived one after another, while Xia Jun ran to the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Xia Jun saw the murderer of Song Jiaoren Ying Kuicheng in the interrogation room of the Military Intelligence Bureau, this person was very burly, probably in his thirties, and he had been tortured by the Military Intelligence Bureau at this time and was a little emaciated.

Ying Kuicheng assassinated Song Jiaoren at the Shanghai Railway Station, and was later captured by the Concession Patrol Police, and then handed over to the East China Autonomous Political Axe, and then handed over by Xia Jun to the Military Intelligence Bureau for interrogation.

"How's the interrogation going? Was it instigated by Zhao Bingjun? Xia Jun asked Bai Wensheng beside him.

"This person insisted that Zhao Bingjun instructed him to assassinate Song Jiaoren, and he said so as soon as he came in." Bai Wensheng frowned and continued: "The students think that there may be something strange in it. ”

"What's the problem?" Xia Jun asked puzzled.

Later history texts all wrote like this - Yuan Shikai hired a murderer to assassinate Song Jiaoren, plus a large loan for the aftermath, which triggered the outbreak of the Second Revolution.

Bai Wensheng looked at Ying Kuicheng in the interrogation room and replied, "Principal, according to the student investigation, this person is also known as Ying Guixin, and he is from Yin County, Zhejiang. Originally the leader of the Shanghai Gangsters, he was attached to the League during the Xinhai Revolution, and served as the chief of the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe Espionage Section, the chief of the General Affairs Section of the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe Presidential Office and the head of Sun Yat-sen's guards. ”

"He's the head of Sun Cannon's guards? You can't be mistaken? Xia Jun's mouth opened wide in surprise, what he never expected was that this person would be the head of Sun Cannon's guard team, as well as the intelligence department and other positions.

"Absolutely, yes." Bai Wensheng replied with great certainty, "And he was very suspicious after assassinating Song Jiaoren, first of all, why he was arrested in the concession, according to the students, this person is the leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang, and it is extremely easy to find a place to hide." Furthermore, if Yuan Shikai wants to hire a murderer, there will definitely be no shortage of killers around him, and he will not be stupid enough to leave such obvious evidence. ”

Xia Jun listened to Bai Wensheng's inference, directly opened the exchange platform, and exchanged the historical information of this Ying Kuicheng.

The information is very short, and there is not even a date of birth, but after this person assassinated Song Jiaoren in history, he was handed over to Cheng Quande, the overseer of Jiangsu.

However, after that, Ying Kuicheng suddenly escaped from prison at the end of the year, and after escaping, Ying Kuicheng went to Yanjing and openly asked Yuan Shikai for the promise of "destroying Song Reward". Yuan denied having anything to do with him, so he left Beijing angrily. On January 19, 1914, he was stabbed to death by Hao Zhanyi, the chief detective of the Military and Political Law Enforcement Department, on the Beijing-Tianjin train with an electric knife.

Xia Jun didn't know whether this historical information was true or not, but after carefully reading it twice, he found that there was another possibility.

That is, Sun Cannon instructed Ying Kuicheng to kill Song Jiaoren in order to regain his leadership position, and at the same time framed Yuan Shikai, and then helped him escape from prison, and then instructed him to go north to ask Yuan Shikai for a reward, and then sent someone to kill Ying Kuicheng at Tianjin Railway Station, but it is not ruled out that Yuan Shikai was annoyed and sent someone to kill him at Tianjin Railway Station.

First of all, there are all kinds of incredible things in this historical material, that is, Yuan Shikai promised to be rewarded at this moment, that is, to be an official.

Generally speaking, it is easy to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to hire a murderer, where you need to promise what official position.

Moreover, the murderer is an exposed figure, and he dared to openly run to Yuan Shikai to ask for an official position, either the murderer's brain is abnormal, or there is another possibility.

Then the murderer was killed at the Tianjin Railway Station, if Sun Dacang planned the possible surname, it may be that Sun Dacang did it, or it may be Yuan Shikai did it, which Xia Jun can't judge at all, because that is the original historical trend.

Whether it was the assassination planned by Yuan Shikai or the assassination planned by Sun Dacang, Xia Jun was really difficult to judge, and both seemed to be possible.

However, no matter who planned it, inciting a civil war was something Xia Jun did not allow.

"Give me a continued trial." Xia Jun ordered Bai Wensheng.

"Yes, Headmaster."

…… Two hours later, most of the Baath Party's top brass arrived at the military building. Xia Jun's face was not good, and everyone realized that something bad had happened.

Some departments had already received the news in advance, and it was obvious that the chairman of the NPC committee was angered by the actions of the Kuomintang.

"Let's take a look!" Xia Jun asked You Zhengbin to send the telegram, stood up and put his fist on the table, and said: "The Kuomintang took advantage of this salt tax turmoil to provoke a civil war, and now it has set up a headquarters to fight Yuan in Nanjing. ”
