Chapter 112: Literary Drama and Martial Arts Singing

1908 Far East Madman Chapter 112 Wenxi Wu Sing

When Wu Zhenhan and Gong Chuntai rushed back to Yuezhou City. The contingent of "representatives of Hunan businessmen and people from all walks of life," who had rushed from Changsha to Hubei from the "Fifth Division," had already stayed in the city for one night. Just waiting for Commander Wu to return to the city.

Wu Zhenhan returned to the headquarters with an iron face. Pan Kangshi, deputy commander of the Fifth Division, was first called. Ask him about what happened yesterday.

Pan Kangshi was originally an officer of the Hubei New Army. The only officer among the cadres of the Qunzhi Society. Without his cover. It is impossible for the study of crowds to develop. Because he played a key role in the Huangnigang uprising. After the success of the uprising, he was promoted to regiment commander by Zhao Bei. When Wu Zhenhan stayed in Jiujiang, he was also one of the main generals. Later, he followed Wu Zhenhan to fight in Hunan and Jiangxi. He has made a lot of achievements. The Fifth Division was formed in Yuezhou. Wu Zhenhan recommended Pan Kangshi as a brigade commander. The mandate came down the same day. At that time, it was just in time for Yang Wangpeng to go north to Henan. Pan Kangshi declined his invitation. remained in the 5th Division. This further won Zhao Bei's trust. So the next day. This brigade commander is also the deputy division commander.

Wu Zhenhan went to Yanglou to inspect the defense. The Fifth Division was commanded by Pan Kangshi. He also served as the commander of Yuezhou City Defense. The Hunan deputies rushed to Yuezhou to "send off" the Fifth Division to withdraw its troops back to Hubei. It was also received by Pan Kangshi.

For this inexplicable "farewell". Pan Kangshi was also confused. While sending a telegram to Wuhan for instructions. While eating and drinking, he entertained the representatives of this group of people who were used as gunmen. In the evening, the call back from Wuhan arrived in Yuezhou. Zhao Bei's order was simple: not to withdraw.

Holding a telegram from the commander-in-chief of Pan Kang. Wu Zhenhan didn't feel strange at all. Yuezhou was an important support point for the Republican Army's strategy. This strategy is likely to be an integral part of the overall strategy. No one or any force is likely to change this strategy.

"No withdrawal!" Wu Zhenhan repeated the commander-in-chief's order. Slap the telegram on the table. Good military hats.

"Let's go. Take me to the meeting|Help the representatives of public opinion! Boy. If the hard ones don't work, let's go with the soft ones. These people in the Communal Association are like singing. ”

"Singing? Drama or martial arts? Pan Kangshi didn't know about the battle for the garrison of the Yanglou Division, and he didn't understand where Wu Zhenhan's anger came from for a while.

Chuntai slapped his pistol on the waist. said: "It doesn't matter who dares to sabotage the revolution in literary and martial arts." Who is the enemy! So-and-so's gun isn't vegetarian either! Representatives of the people? ! Most of the members in the Hunan House are local tyrants and inferior gentry, what kind of public opinion are they? Public opinion today. It's the dog killer. Eat big. ”

Wu Zhenhan, Gong Tai and others left the headquarters. Rush to the inn where the representatives of the public opinion are staying. But when I arrived, I inquired. I knew that these people were chanting poems in Yueyang Tower. So he rushed to Yueyang Tower non-stop.

Yueyang Tower is Yuezhou, the West Gate Tower. Relying on the sentence of Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, "The worries of the world are worried." The joy of the world after the world" and the fame of the birds, and Wuchang Yellow Crane Tower, Nanchang Tengwang Pavilion and called the three famous buildings. At the beginning, Wu Zhenhan led the army to attack Nanchang. Although the next day they withdrew their troops and marched into Hunan. But I'm still busy sneaking around King Teng's Pavilion. After arriving at Yuezhou City. This Yueyang Tower has also been visited a few times. If you take a look at the Wuchang Yellow Crane Tower. He has visited the three famous buildings in China. In the future, when you brag to others, you will inevitably have to talk about it.

But now it seems that the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang is going to be put back for the time being. So far, the commander-in-chief has not expressed the intention of transferring Deputy Commander Wu back to Wuhan to report on his work. Wu Zhenhan didn't take the initiative to go to Wuhan.

Arrived at Yueyang Tower. From afar, I saw a large number of people gathered downstairs. He was yelling at the upstairs.

Wu Zhenhan and Gong Chuntai squeezed into the crowd. Look up. But I saw two long white cloth rolls hanging down the Yueyang Tower. More than five feet wide, from the eaves of the city tower to the root of the city wall, there are seven big characters written on it. It is Fan Zhongyan's two famous sentences that have been sung through the ages.

"First the world, then the world is happy."

In the crowd, there was a loud chanting of several masters. Cadence. It sounds pleasing to the ear. And the illiterate people began to cheer.

"They're idle." Pan Kangshi smacked his lips. On the way here, I have heard about the battle between the Yanglou Division and the garrison. I don't have much affection for those "representatives of public opinion". But it's not as angry as Wu Zhenhan. After all, people sing "literary opera".

"Guards. Dispel the crowd! Yuezhou West Gate is under martial law! Wu Zhenhan suppressed the fire in his heart. The order was given. Not much. In addition to the soldiers downstairs in Yueyang, there are no idle people waiting.

Wu Zhenhan led a few people to climb the Yueyang Tower. When I got to the top of the castle tower, I took a look. But I saw a group of people gathered together. There was a table in the middle. An old man with a white beard holds a brush. Something is being written on a piece of rice paper. Everyone saw Wu Zhenhan striding over. They all turned their heads to look. The white-bearded old man also raised his head.

It turned out that the "Tota Heavenly King" arrived. There is a long way to go. Faux pas. ”

didn't wait for Wu Zhenhan to speak. Gong Chuntai, who was following behind, had already taken a few steps. Punched at the white-bearded old man. According to the rules of the rivers and lakes.

The white-bearded old man smiled and put down the brush. Walk over to the table. Fist it. also made a charlatan gesture. said: "Gong Longtou is not harmed? Last time, a farewell. It's been more than two years. The kingly spirit on Gong Longtou's shoulders is becoming more and more convincing. Yesterday I wanted to visit the door. Unexpectedly, the dragon head and dragon saw the head but not the tail, but today he asked Gong Longtou to come first to give a return gift. It's me who is rude, a bad old man. I will be fined five glasses of wine at the banquet. ”

"You two know each other?" Wu Zhenhan was slightly stunned. looked at Gong Chuntai. He looked at Pan Kangshi on the side. saw that Deputy Division Commander Pan also had a blank expression. He obviously didn't know what the white-bearded old man was about.

"This old gentleman is the famous Tan Shiping in Xinhua County. He is a member of the League. The Pingliu Uprising of that year. I co-planned it with him. ”

Chuntai's words somewhat made Zhenhan and Pan Kangshi understand the identity of the old man. But none of them are from Hunan. Nor is it a person in the meeting. It has nothing to do with the Alliance. For this old man, it is not as good as Chuntai and others.

"It turned out to be a comrade of the League. There is a long way to go. Faux pas. Wu Zhenhan arched his hand. It's kind of a fight. Pan Kangshi on the side also arched his hand. But he didn't speak.

"This is Wu Baishan, deputy commander-in-chief of the Republican Army. That was Pan Charu, the deputy commander of the Fifth Division. "Chuntai is an introduction for both sides.

The white-bearded old man walked up a few steps. He shook hands with Wu Zhenhan and Pan Kangshi. said: "Contemptible Tan Renfeng." No. Shiping Lake Xinhua people's. Xiucai was born in the early years of Renxia Township. People sent the nickname "Tota Heavenly King" XVI

Hongmen. Relying on this identity to contact the various party figures. I have been running for many years. But nothing came of it. The non-noble army swept through the two lakes, Hunan and Jiangxi. The fall of the Manchus was imminent. I'm afraid I'm still worried about Japan at the moment. I heard that there are two brave generals. I hate to follow the left and right and see you today. He is a young talent with both wisdom and courage. ”

The last top hat was a bit of a surprise. made Wu Zhenhan and Pan Kangshi a little uncomfortable. To say who is the most famous among the generals of the Republican Army. I'm afraid it really won't be the two of them.

Mr. Tan laughed. If you talk about "wisdom and bravery". In the Republican Army, there is only one commander-in-chief. ”

Wu Zhenhan said a few polite words first. Then he changed the conversation and asked, "Mr. Tan is a cadre of the Alliance. I don't know why I rushed to Hunan - could it be that he was also a representative of the people's will sent by the comrades of the Communist Party? ”

The Communist Association claims to be a peripheral organization of the League, and its relationship with the League is cut. It is no wonder that Deputy Commander Wu asked this question.

"Definitely. Definitely. Tan Ren hurriedly shook his head.

"I'm not the opinion of the lake. I'm the liaison for the League. This time I went back to Hunan. He was ordered to liaise with the revolutionary comrades of the Communist Party. By the way, bring a letter to Sun Dudu. The day before yesterday, I heard that the dragon army was stationed here, so I planned to visit. Unexpectedly, I had to stay in the inn. Visit again at a later date. Don't wander around the city today. Meet a few old people. So they went upstairs together to write poems. Cry out for the revolution. ”

"I see." Zhenhan nodded. Look. was surprised to find that Gong Chunzheng's eyes were wide open. Staring at a stocky man at the table. Angry.

Since I met Gong Chuntai. Wu Zhenhan saw him angry for the first time. And it looks unstoppable.

Tan Renfeng also noticed the strangeness of Chuntai. Follow his gaze. I also saw the short and fat man. His brow furrowed.

"Lai Chenyu. You're full of dog minions who have the guts to come here! Chuntai whispered to the short and fat man.

The stocky man was. said with a calm face: "Gong Longtou." Why? Contemptible people are revolutionary comrades anyway. He is also a member of the Hunan Provincial Assembly. This visit. It is to ask for the lives of the people of Hunan. Congratulations to your army from Hunan to Hubei. It's not to make trouble. Why didn't you dare to come? ”

"Here it is. Won't I crush your pig? "Chuntai is a little out of shape. The two horses next to him drew their broadswords behind them. With a murderous look on one's face.

"What's going on?" Zhenhan was a little confused.

"Do you know who he is?" Gong Chuntai pointed at the short and fat man. glanced at a few people around him.

"His name is Lai Chenyu. I don't know what kind of official it is. But I know. He used to be Pingliu's patrol officer! The Liu Uprising that year. Among the thousands of Hongjiang brothers who died. Quite a few people died under his guns! ”

"I was on orders. I can't help it. I'm also Han. It is also inseparable from the Tartar court. Some time ago, the revolutionary army arose. I also led the response of the department. The regimental defense bureau in Pingxiang is still appeased by me! Right now. Lai is a member of the Hunan Provincial Assembly. Mining helper! You and I are both revolutionary comrades. Let the past pass. Didn't you kill a lot of me back then? The stocky man forced himself to compose. It also made a point.

Chuntai sneered. said: "You wall-to-wall grass has infiltrated the revolutionary army. Sooner or later, it's a disaster! Today. Lao Tzu came to avenge the blood of the soul. Second, to clear the revolutionary team! ”

The voice did not fall. Quickly move your right hand to your waist. Draw the revolver with lightning speed. Nor aiming. Raising your hand is a shot.

“”

Shots rang out. Cerebral plasma rupture.

Chuntai was born in the party. I've been playing with dirt guns for a long time. Later an uprising was launched. I played with foreign guns again. This marksmanship has long been practiced.

This shot hit the heart of Lai Chenyu's eyebrows.

A gunshot rang out. Everyone was shocked. When you settle down and look. Congressman Narai is already a corpse. I even hummed and snorted.

"Good marksmanship!" Wu Zhen secretly praised himself. But at the same time frowned.

People who come from the party are usually very angry. This kind of person is righteous. But doing things is often too impulsive. Without thinking about the consequences.

Chuntai is also from the Hui Party. It also talks about righteousness. But he's thick and fine. It's not the simple-minded kind of person. This can be seen from the fact that he instigated the "Sea" uprising.

So. He shot Lai Chenyu, I am afraid it seems so simple.

Since leaving Hubei and going south. Chuntai has always wanted to return to the Pingliu area. A piece of fine clothes returned home. The second is to avenge the heroes in the Pingliu Uprising. Kill the Manchu officials in that area.

But he never got his way. The reason is simple. Because the Gongjin Association is reluctant to let him return to his own plate. For this reason, Gong Chuntai has great opinions on the Communist Advancement Association. In addition, after the liberation of Hunan, many former Manchu officials became part of the military government. This annoyed Gong Chuntai even more. If it weren't for Wu Zhenhan having been doing work for him. I'm afraid he would have led his army back a long time ago.

It is precisely because I can't return to the Pingliu area. His unit was called the "Xiangbei Revolutionary Army". And it can only be temporarily stationed in Yuezhou. Rely on the Republican Army to receive military salaries and ammunition.

The Gongjin Association did not dare to tear his face with Zhao Bei. That's because they have a request for the commander-in-chief. But for a figure like Gong Chuntai. The reunions are not so polite. Gong Chuntai led the team to the Pingliu area. On the way, he was stopped by the "Revolutionary Coalition Army". The two sides almost caught fire. So. Gong Chuntai and the Gongjin Association have long been married. It all depends on Wu Zhenhan to mediate.

Yesterday's meeting wanted to drive the Republican Army away. Gong Chuntai's long-pent-up grievances were finally vented. That shot just now. It's to vent your own anger. It is also for the republican army. But that's not the only purpose.

Chuntai shot Lai Chenyu in public. Although it is an outlet for evil, it may not have the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys. So that those "representatives of public opinion" will know the difficulties and retreat. The republic cannot be withdrawn. If the Republican Army withdraws to Hubei. Is there still room for this Xiangbei Revolutionary Army?

The IRA is a guest army. It is inconvenient to be tough with the representatives of Hunan public opinion. So. had to be stepped forward by Gong Chuntai.

It's just that this resolute action is indeed a bit reckless.

Here's the problem. Lai Chenyu has a special status. After all, he is a member of the Hunan parliament. And it's also a "hero anyway". It's easy to kill. But the aftermath is difficult.

The "play" planned by the Communist Party was turned into a "martial arts" by Gong Longtou. How to deal with the aftermath?
