"Let's look at the telegram first." Liang Qichao handed the two telegrams to Cai Ye and motioned for him to pass them on to everyone after reading them.

Cai Yi took the telegram and read it carefully, and after he read it, he handed it to Tang Qianming, who did not say a word after reading it, and handed the telegram to Zhang Xiaozhun.

"Where is Zheng now?" After reading the telegram, Zhang Xiaozhun's face became more and more gloomy, and he asked while handing the telegram to Yang Shuoming.

Hearing Zhang Xiaozhun's question, Xu Shichang was stunned for a moment, he thought about it, returned to his desk, took the memo and looked through it, and then Yang Shuoming said: "You Zheng should be in Tianjin now, with Vice President Gao (Gao Lingwei)." ”

At this time, Yang Shuoming had already finished reading the telegram, raised his head to look at everyone, and added, "I just spoke to him on the phone yesterday. ”

"I'm afraid what this telegram says is just an introduction." Zhang Xiaozhun said, "Feng Jishan's purpose should not only be to avenge Lu Jianzhang. He turned his head to look at Cai Yi, "Killing Xu Youzheng is one thing, the main thing, I'm afraid it's for the 'nationalization of the army'." ”

"It seems that there are still many people dissatisfied with this 'nationalization of the army'." Liang Qichao understood what Zhang Xiaozhun meant, and couldn't help but glance at Cai Yi, sighed and said, "I didn't expect him Feng Huanzhang to be ......."

After listening to the teacher's words, Cai Yi's face was still very calm, and his eyes immediately looked at Yang Shuoming, as if waiting for his opinion.

"Long-term pain is better than short-term pain, if you let the old and new warlords compete for power and profit, you will sing and I will appear, and the country will never want to develop." Yang Shuoming said, "The reform of 'nationalizing the army' is the best way to eliminate the warlords, and it must be completed, and this is not something that he Feng Jishan can stop." ”

"Feng Jishan's telegram has a murderous tone," Cai said, "He said that he wanted the political axe to uphold justice, and there was a hidden threat inside, and there was a political axe that would not stop if he did not do what he wanted." I'm afraid what Yang Dian said is the truth. ”

"How about calling Feng back and asking him to come to Beijing to confront Xu Youzheng?" Xu Shichang paced a few laps and asked in a dumb voice, "It's best to solve it by law, and don't make everyone see each other." ”

"Although the president's intentions are good, I am afraid that he Feng Jishan will not agree." Zhang Xiaozhun said.

"It's too early to say that Feng wants a coup d'état, right?" Liang Qichao said, "Feng Jun is close to Gyeonggi, and the morning is coming, if there is really a coup, we are only afraid that we will be his prisoners now." ”

"What does Ren Gong mean ......" Zhang Xiaozhun looked at Liang Qichao and asked.

"The president has ordered someone to notify the garrison headquarters to observe the movements of Feng Jun, if Feng Jun really drove to the capital, then it is obvious that he wants to launch a coup d'état......" Liang Qichao said, but he noticed that Zhang Xiaozhun had a different complexion, so he did not say any more.

"Ren Gong is a benevolent gentleman, and he has no idea how this coup was launched." Yang Shuoming smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid that if we don't have to wait for Feng Jun to arrive, we will already have our heads on the ground." ”

Liang Qichao remembered the past when he participated in the "Wuxu Coup", and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.

"You Zheng should be sent a telegram immediately, asking him to postpone his entry into Beijing. Otherwise, he will have to worry about his life. Zhang Xiaozhun said in a deep voice.

"If Duke Ren wants to know whether Feng Jun has launched a coup d'état, there is a way to know." Yang Shuoming said, "Just as Runong said, send a telegram to General Xu to warn him, and ask General Xu to call back immediately, if this telegram can be sent out now, and General Xu can also receive it, it proves that there will be no coup d'état, if this telegram cannot be sent......

Yang Shuoming didn't finish his words, but subconsciously turned his head to look at the wall clock on the wall.

After listening to Yang Shuoming's words, Xu Shichang immediately asked Zhang Guogan to send a telegram to Xu Shuzheng, and after a long time, Zhang Guogan came back, Xu Shichang saw his pale face, and immediately understood what was going on, and couldn't help but change his face.

Zhang Xiaozhun was about to say his own response suggestion, but suddenly found that Yang Shuoming stood up, walked out of the window, and looked at the sky outside the window.

"What's wrong? Hanzhi? Cai Ye also noticed Yang Shuoming's actions and couldn't help asking.

In the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, there seemed to be a small bright spot flickering. It was a long time before a faint noise could be heard in the distance.

"Nothing." Yang Shuoming said calmly, then turned around and returned to his seat, discussing with everyone how to deal with it.

Tianjin, Langfang Station.

"Why hasn't this train left yet?"

Xu Shuzheng, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at his watch, then at the crowded crowd outside, and asked a little strangely.

"I'll ask." An adjutant got up and said that he was about to leave the carriage when suddenly a piercing burst of gunfire was heard in the distance!

Xu Shuzheng was taken aback, and the guards around him immediately gathered around him and pulled out their guns. The lieutenant walked out of the carriage and ran forward.

At this time, Xu Shuzheng's heart was shocked, but he was not flustered, he took out the pistol and checked it, at this time, on the platform of the station, a team of heavily armed policemen appeared.

"General Xu! There's an assassin in the car! Get out of the car! A man who looked like a police chief shouted loudly.

Xu Shuzheng looked at the other party carefully, trying to recognize the other party's identity, but the brim of the other party's hat was very low, and he was wearing a pair of black sunglasses, so he couldn't see his face clearly. At this time, the other party shouted and beckoned his subordinates to run quickly towards the carriage.

"General Xu! Get out of the car! The other party shouted anxiously, and by this time his shouting had caused panic among the passengers on the train, and the crowd on the platform had begun to become chaotic.

Xu Shuzheng had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, he felt that danger was approaching, but he couldn't say where the danger came from.

"Xu Shuzheng! You dog thief! Get out! I'll kill you! Avenge your father! ”

Accompanied by the shouting, a person in the crowd not far away was trying to squeeze this way, and kept throwing the flyer in his hand outward, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.

Xu Shuzheng heard the other party's voice, couldn't help but sneer, and stood up. Looking out of the car window, he recognized it, and the person who distributed leaflets and shouted "Avenge my father" was Lu Jianzhang's son, Lu Chengwu, his classmate when he stayed!

"Catch him! Get him! He's the murderer! Lu Chengwu saw Xu Shuzheng's figure, pointed at him and shouted.

Xu Shuzheng noticed that the policemen did not arrest Lu Chengwu, but tried to separate the crowd and approach his carriage, he understood, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He knew that the target of those policemen should be himself!

"Stop them! Don't let them get in the car! Xu Shuzheng shouted loudly.

At this moment, someone in the crowd threw a white smoke object into the carriage, and then it exploded, and the carriage was filled with white choking smoke for a while.

Xu Shuzheng was shocked, he felt the smoke penetrate his nostrils, his head immediately dizzy, and the scene in front of him became blurred.

Xu Shuzheng struggled to straighten up, but his body seemed to be disobedient, he felt the pistol slip out of his hand, and his body fell a little soft.

Everything seemed to be in disarray, and he felt that someone was dragging him towards another carriage, but his mind became as heavy as lead, and he gradually lost consciousness.

At this time, Xu Shuzheng had no way of knowing, and Lu Chengwu on the platform looked at the carriage full of white smoke, and he was also shocked.

Lu Chengwu still can't figure out whether this scene was deliberately arranged by Feng Jishan.

Suddenly, a dazzling fire flashed in the carriage where Xu Shuzheng was, followed by a deafening loud bang.

Seeing that the carriage burned in an instant, Lu Chengwu couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise.

Yanjing, Nanyuan.

"Zimin called, Xu Shuzheng has been decided." Adjutant Jang Yunrong handed a telegram to Feng Jishan, "It's a bombing plan." ”

"Good." Feng Jishan took the telegram and only glanced at it, then handed it back to Zhang Yunrong, who immediately took out a lighter and burned the telegram, and then left, leaving Feng Jishan alone in the office.

"The surname is Xu, you can't imagine that you have today, right?" Feng Jishan looked at the ashes on the ground, and a hideous smile appeared on his face.

Now Feng Jishan's heart is full of the pleasure of revenge.

For Feng Jishan, Xu Shuzheng can be said to be his nemesis.

At this moment, the past came to his mind like a movie.

When Lu Jianzhang was killed, Feng Yuxiang was on his way to Xiangxi.

Of course, Xu Shuzheng knows very well that Lu Jianzhang and Feng Jishan are related, and they are Feng Jishan's old chief and benefactor. Lu Jianzhang was killed, Feng Jishan would never sit idly by. Therefore, on the day of killing Lu Jianzhang, Xu Shuzheng took a telegram to Feng Jishan, relaying the content of the telegram that Lu and Lu deserved for his crimes, and said: "Lu is a well-known crime, and he has been gnashed by his peers for a long time. Sending himself to death today is also proof that the evil has been realized. ”

After Feng Jishan read the telegram, he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear, a sourness, and a wave of resentment!

As early as 1902, when Feng Jishan was a soldier in Yuan Shikai's Wuwei Right Army, it was Lu Jianzhang who first "discovered" and cultivated him, and promoted him step by step. In 1907, Lu Jianzhang married his niece Liu Dezhen to Feng Jishan, and the kindness of knowing and the friendship of relatives made the two even closer.

In 1911, Feng Jishan was arrested for the failure of the Luanzhou uprising, and he was rescued by Lu Jianzhang in many ways, and he survived. The following year, Lu Jianzhang was ordered by Yuan Shikai to organize and train the new army, appointed Feng Jishan as the commander of the former battalion, and sent him to Zhili to recruit troops, such as Sun Liangcheng, Liu Ruming, Shi Yousan, Tong Linge, Feng Zhi'an and others all came to Feng Jishan's command this time. Later, Feng Jishan was promoted to regiment commander and brigade commander, and Lu Jianzhang was also retained......

At that time, Feng Jishan, the more he recalled the past, the more he felt sad; The more I miss Lu Jianzhang, the more I hate Xu Shuzheng. However, Feng Jishan knew that with his current strength, confronting Xu Shuzheng, who was in power, was tantamount to an egg hitting a stone.

At that time, Feng Jishan thought about it again and again, and decided to retreat as advance and endure it first. He then quietly replied to Xu Shuzheng's telegram, the content of which was only concerned about Lu Jianzhang's "posthumous affairs", and did not mention anything else.

Making such a decision, Feng Jishan's inner pain can be imagined.

After Xu Shuzheng received Feng Jishan's telegram, he replied to Feng Jishan's telegram, promising to "do his best to maintain" Lu Jianzhang's posthumous affairs.

At that time, in order to reassure Feng Jishan, Xu Shuzheng's lord Duan Qirui also deliberately took some pacification measures, he ordered Feng Jishan to be reinstated as lieutenant general and commander of the 16th Mixed Brigade, awarded four honors, and appointed him to concurrently serve as the guard of Xiangxi Town. Duan Qirui himself gave Lu Jianzhang's bereaved family another 5,000 silver dollars to show the friendship of Beiyang Paoze.

At that time, Feng Jishan not only never mentioned the murder of Lu Jianzhang, but also volunteered to be transferred to Fujian to fight the Chinese Revolutionary Army.

At that time, Feng Jishan deeply understood the truth that "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years", so he forbeared.

And this time, he finally waited for the opportunity to put Xu Shuzheng to death.

In fact, as early as a month ago, Feng Jishan had already laid out a detailed plan to assassinate Xu Shuzheng.

On the first day of Xu Shuzheng's departure from Kulun, Feng Jishan ordered his subordinate Lu Zhonglin to manage to detain Zeng Yujun, Yao Zhen, and others, all of whom were old friends of Xu Shuzheng and held important positions in China's political axe. The arrest of these people is equivalent to cutting off Xu Shuzheng's hands and ears first. At the same time, Feng Jishan sent Pu Huaren to collect intelligence in Tianjin and Shanghai, sent his adjutant Zhang Yunrong to be in charge of laying out the plan, and sent Tang Yueliang, director of the Foreign Affairs Department of his Office of the Superintendent, to Beijing to avoid diplomatic disputes.

In order to ensure the killing of Xu Shuzheng, Feng Jishan also specially selected 20 people from his pistol team, led by Lu Chengwu, who vowed to avenge the murder of his father, disguised himself into Beijing and waited for the opportunity to assassinate. But after Xu Shuzheng came to Beijing, Lu Chengwu and others have not been able to succeed. As a result, the assassination plan was changed to Xu Shuzheng's journey to Tianjin.

After Xu Shuzheng's train departed from Yanjing, Feng Jishan urgently ordered the staff office to contact Fengtai Station. Fengtai Station replied that the train had already passed through Fengtai and it was estimated that it had not yet arrived in Langfang. Feng Jishan immediately ordered Zhang Zhijiang to take action through his subordinate Lu Zhonglin.

Zhang Zhijiang is a native of Yanshan County, Hebei Province, born in the army, and is a devout Christian. He used to be the commander and brigade commander of the Feng Division, and was a capable general under Feng Jishan, and served as the commander of the Fifth Division of the Feng Division. After receiving Lu Zhonglin's call, Zhang Zhijiang was quite hesitant and said, "This matter is important and should not be reckless." And Lu Zhonglin emphasized that this was an order. Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Zhang Zhijiang asked Chief of Staff Huang Zhonghan to deal with Xu Shuzheng according to the method of "saluting first and then soldiers, intercepting cars and arresting people." Zhang Zhijiang then arranged for his adjutant Song Bangying to summon Peng Zhongsen, acting brigade commander and chief of staff of the 7th Mixed Brigade, to the headquarters to give a face-to-face lecture.

Peng Zhongsen was a classmate of Song Bangying at the Baoding Military Academy, and was in charge of the security work at Langfang Station and the surrounding area at this time. When Peng Zhongsen received the order, he immediately went to the station in person and ordered the stationmaster to call Wanzhuang Station and let Xu's train pass to Langfang and stop at Langfang Station.

Xu Shuzheng's train arrived in Langfang, and as soon as it stopped, Huang Zhonghan got on the train with Zhang Zhijiang's business card and said to Xu Shuzheng: "General Zhang has a special welcome meeting and asks General Xu to get off the train." ”

It may be that Huang Zhonghan's performance was too blunt, Xu Shuzheng felt a little bad, so he said to Huang Zhonghan: "I am very gracious, but I am a little dizzy at this time and can't get out of the car, please understand General Zhang." He immediately ordered Chu Qixiang to attend the meeting on his behalf.

Because Xu Shuzheng refused to be fooled, and there were many guards, Huang Zhonghan didn't dare to use force, so he could only do it and let Xu Shuzheng go to Tianjin.

After learning the news of the failure of the plan, Zhang Zhijiang immediately reported Lu Zhonglin by phone, and Lu Zhonglin immediately reported to Feng Jishan. Feng Jishan ordered Lu Zhonglin to order Lu Chengwu to rush to Tianjin that night. The general Lu Zhonglin suggested: "As soon as the thief leaves, it will be troublesome from now on." If you are determined to kill him, you can still use the phone to order Zhang Zhijiang to carry it out. Feng Jishan immediately ordered Lu Zhonglin to convey to Zhang Zhijiang, asking him to send an engineer team to plant mines to blow up cars or send people to bomb them.

And this time, Xu Shuzheng finally did not escape, but was blown to pieces!

Feng Jishan retracted his thoughts little by little, he knew that killing Xu Shuzheng was only the first step in his plan.

At night, Lu Chengwu suddenly woke up from his dream.

"Congratulations to General Lu, the Xu thief was blown to pieces, and the wreckage has been found." Zhang Zhijiang's adjutant Song Bangying said to him with a smile.

At this time, hearing the news that Xu Shuzheng was dead, Lu Chengwu's heart did not have the pleasure of revenge, and the rest was just loss and confusion.

"Those people are waiting for you." Song Bangying continued.

Lu Chengwu said to him in a daze: "The matter is over, do you still need me to go?" ”

"How can you not go? Gotta go! Song Bangying said loudly with some annoyance.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Lu Chengwu got up and got dressed, and left the room with Song Bangying.

Lu Chengwu knew that in this drama of "avenging his father", his play was now very simple, he only needed to declare to the detained Chu Qixiang, Xu Zanhua, Xue Xuehai, Duan Maolan, Sun Xiangzhen, Li Jun, Liu Zhuobin, Han Binli and other more than a dozen Xu Shuzheng's attachés that he killed Xu Shuzheng, and avenge his father Lu Jianzhang, who was killed by Xu Shuzheng.

In a building, he saw Xu Shuzheng's attachés and the guards who had been disarmed, and Lu Chengwu immediately said to them, "You are frightened, I killed Xu Shuzheng, it is my own business, and I have nothing to do with you." In the past, Xu Shuzheng killed my father, and today I killed Xu Shuzheng. I killed Xu Shuzheng to avenge my father......" Song Bangying also told them: "Xu was killed by Lu Chengwu, and he was wronged." The release of Jun and others is the credit of General Zhang's efforts. ”

Subsequently, Lu Chengwu sent a telegram to various newspapers in Beijing and Tianjin in his own name: "The first monarch Jianzhang Gong was once murdered by Xu thieves because he was slightly suspicious. Chengwu drank and cried, and after several years, on the twenty-ninth of this month, he met Xu thief in Langfang, and killed him with his hands, with the public anger of the people of the Snow Country, and avenged the deep revenge of killing his father......"

Then, after being held for several hours, Xu Shuzheng's entourage took a photo together and was forced to write a letter of guarantee, put on their fingerprints, and swore not to reveal a word about the day's case, otherwise their families would not be able to save their lives. Then Song Bangying let them leave Langfang with their bare hands.
