For the Chinese in the summer and autumn season of 1909. This is a season of turmoil, during this time, too many things have happened in the political arena, and too many things have happened in society, which have disturbed and made people a little dizzying.

If we want to rank the major domestic events that took place during this period, they are: the demise of the Beiyang clique and the coming to power of the United Front, the opening of the trial of the assassination of Ito Hirobumi, the activity of the "petition group for the abolition of the governors of the provinces and the realization of the division of military and civilian rule" headed by Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Shandong, Yan Xishan, the governor of Jiangxi, and others, and the resurgence of the assassination of Tao Chengzhang.

In fact, the order in which this domestic event was published in the column of the "Declaration" also represents the general opinion of the press and at the same time the general opinion of all sectors of society.

Indeed, if we have to find one of the most far-reaching things among these domestic events, it is the demise of the Beiyang clique and the coming to power of the United Front, which is extraordinary, and many domestic political and social events are closely related to this, whether it is the trial of the assassination of Ito Hirobumi or the resurgence of the 'waves' of Tao Chengzhang's assassination, they are all directly related to the United Front, and even the "petition group for the abolition of the governors of the provinces and the realization of the division of military and civilian rule" organized by Wang Zhanyuan, Yan Xishan, and others of the emergence and activity. It is also not unrelated to the United Front, and many people even speculate that this was personally planned by Chairman Zhao of the United Front.

Chairman Zhao is now the president of the Republic of China and the supreme commander of the army and navy of the Republic of China, and it can be said that the party, the government, and the military are all in charge; such a person who holds the central power can at least respond to every call and stabilize the domestic situation in the shortest possible time.

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, this country has been breathing in the soul 'chaos' and disorder for too long, and now it is indeed time for a strong figure to clean up the 'chaos' situation, to completely clean up the 'chaos' since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and to return this Shenzhou China to a bright and prosperous country, and to return these 40,000 Li people to the road and not close their doors at night.

The country is too far behind, it is not advisable to rush for quick success, and steady progress is the right way, and now, under the planning of President Zhao Da, the United Front, a pan-political alliance, is gradually straightening out the relationship between central power and local power, whether it is the resurgence of Tao Chengzhang's assassination, or the running appeal of the petition group for the abolition of provincial governors and the realization of the division of military and civilian rule. can be seen as the center's efforts to maintain its authority.

The "Petition Group for the Abolition of the Provincial Governors and the Separation of Military and Civilian Rule" was formed to nip in the bud the rising local warlord forces, and the dispute over the assassination of Tao Chengzhang was an important measure taken by the United Front to maintain internal unity and squeeze out the League's 'agitation' of forces, the former harming the interests of the local powerful factions, and the latter harming the League's Anyone with a modicum of political savvy will understand that this is an uphill struggle, and if it is not properly balanced, the United Front's efforts to control the country will be in vain, and even this pan-political alliance will be torn apart.

On the one hand, the central government wants to take back power, and on the other hand, the local powerful factions are unwilling to give up the power in their hands, and the 'fierceness' of the struggle is probably only understood by people in the bureau.

As a member of this "insider," Chen Qimei has been very depressed in recent days, and in order to evade the pursuit of the military and government of various provinces, he had to abscond in disguise, first from Nanjing to Shanghai, and then from Shanghai to Xiamen, and after hiding in the Xiamenmen concession for half a day, he was expelled by the concession authorities, and then had to continue to embark on the road of escape. This way south, finally arrived in Hong Kong, with a forged Japanese passport as a Japanese businessman to lurk in this small land, the people who followed him were only a few League cadres who participated in the assassination of Tao Chengzhang at the beginning, a few people can be regarded as suffering along the way, the only thing to be thankful for is that they were not taken by the military police.

After settling down in the countryside of Kowloon, Chen Qimei and the others did not dare to run around anymore, and sat in the house all day and sulked, the only source of information was the local newspaper sent by the comrades of the League every day, and the newspaper also printed a wanted notice for them, Chen Qimei's reward was 5,000 yuan from the ocean, and Jiang Zhiqing's was 2,000 yuan, and this reward seemed to be gradually increasing, so it was not absolutely safe to stay in Hong Kong, and going abroad was the safest choice.

"This Wang Zhaoming is really jumping up and down, yesterday he was a 'tainted witness', and today he has become a 'conscience discovery', as if he really participated in the plot to assassinate Tao Chengzhang. Why didn't I see that he Wang Zhaoming's singing skills were so clever? ”

Putting the newspaper on the table, Chen Qimei sighed helplessly.

Although it is autumn now, but this Hong Kong is located in Lingnan, the weather is still hot, Chen Qimei only wears a pair of Western shorts, topless, and a pair of rubber-soled slippers on her feet.

Chen Qimei was lying on a recliner. There were several benches beside him, and several of his subordinates were sitting on them, all dressed like him, and their expressions were almost depressed, some were still reading the newspaper, and some were sitting at the table in a daze.

Can you not be in a daze? Now Wang Zhaoming has "come out to expose the first", the assassination case of Kuomintang leader Tao Chengzhang has basically come to light, and everyone has nowhere to go now, and they are only temporarily sheltered in Hong Kong, and after the problem of ferry tickets and passports is resolved, they still have to go to Nanyang, and this time they go to China, they don't know when they will be able to return to China, perhaps, from now on, they can only go into exile.

"Tell me, how did that Wang Zhaoming know that we sent someone to assassinate Tao Chengzhang?"

Chen Qimei sat up from the recliner, raised her hand and patted the table hard, startling the others.

But no one could answer Chen Qimei's question, in fact, they had discussed it many times on the road, but they couldn't get an answer.

When they planned to assassinate Tao Chengzhang, Wang Zhaoming did not participate in it. Therefore, theoretically speaking, it is impossible for Wang Zhaoming to know that Chen Qimei planned the assassination of Tao Chengzhang, but the problem is that now Wang Zhaoming points to his nose and says that Chen Qimei is the mastermind behind the assassination, so how did Wang Zhaoming know the inside story of the assassination?

After thinking about it, there is only one answer, that is, someone leaked the inside information of Tao Chengzhang's assassination case to Wang Zhaoming, and the person who leaked the secret of 'exposure' is likely to be in the current room. Even Chen Qimei is inevitably suspicious.

On the way to escape, Chen Qimei's gang was suspicious of each other and complained, and in the end, they still did not identify the suspect who leaked the secrets of the assassination case, and the only gain was that there was a rift in the relationship between the several people, and they no longer trusted each other as before.

If it is true that no one has leaked the secrets of the assassination case as everyone promised, then the only explanation left is that Wang Zhaoming is biting indiscriminately, but this possibility is very small, and the reason is very simple, because Wang Zhaoming clearly revealed that the gunman who assassinated Tao Chengzhang was Jiang Zhiqing.

How can there be such a coincidence? Wang Zhaoming's 'messy' bite really bit the gunman sent by Chen Qimei to assassinate Tao Chengzhang, is it possible, he Wang Zhaoming is more capable of investigating cases than the French detective of the French Concession?

As for the truth of Wang Zhaoming's "first exposure", of course Chen Qimei will not know, but his rush to flee is to 'expose' his inner panic, and it also directly confirms Wang Zhaoming's "exposure", he Chen Qimei is the mastermind behind the assassination of Tao Chengzhang, as for whether there is anyone else standing behind Chen Qimei, the press is still debating, but one thing is certain is that Tao Chengzhang's assassination case has developed until now, and the influence of the alliance has become insignificant, even if Mr. Sun rushes back to China immediately, I'm afraid I won't be able to reorganize the Alliance.

At the beginning, the establishment of the United Front put the League in a coffin, and now, the revelation of Tao Chengzhang's assassination has put a lid on the coffin of the League, as long as the nail is nailed again, the League will be considered to be dead.

For a political group, if the people's hearts are out of control, then it is indeed time to die, and this is the current situation of the League.

When the Kuomintang was founded, the League was also the main member, but it was the people of the League who assassinated their own party leader, and in the eyes of their own people, this was a rebellion. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a crime, no matter how you look at it, the alliance will be mud and can't support the wall, just ask, which aspiring young people will join the alliance again?

What is the point of aspiring young people spurning the League, even if the League can continue to maintain, but its members are either speculators or assassins, and have become the object of ridicule from other political groups? It's better to disband.

"Disperse, disperse! In my opinion, our alliance will be dissolved. Now you don't trust me, I don't trust you, what's the point? It's better to simply disband, everyone will be clean, no one will complain about anyone, no one will suspect anyone, anyway, this alliance will also stink, whoever touches it stinks. ”

Chen Qimei patted the table and made a few complaints, but still no one answered, everyone knows that Chen Qimei is angry now, the more he contradicts him, the more energetic he is, this person's self-cultivation is not as good as that traitor Wang Zhaoming.

While everyone was in a daze, a peasant walked into the house and said, "Gentlemen, the gentleman who delivered the newspaper has come here again." ”

Chen Qimei hurriedly stood up and walked out of the house with a few people, and saw a person coming from the foot of the mountain from a distance, who was an old member of the Hong Kong branch of the Alliance.

The member walked up to Chen Qimei, handed over a few newspapers, and then took out a telegram from his pocket to copy it, 'handed' it to Chen Qimei, and said, "This is an urgent telegram from Saigon from Mr. Sun. ”

Chen Qimei hurriedly glanced at the telegram a few times, the 'gloom' haze on her face was swept away, her brows stretched, and she glanced at several subordinates.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Sun's new order for us, we are not going to Nanyang now, we are going to Guangzhou."

"Guangzhou? What to do in Guangzhou? I'm afraid that there is also a wanted notice posted there, so isn't it self-defeating to go there? Mr. Sun's order is a bit puzzling. One of his men muttered.

"What's so puzzling? Let me tell you, we went to Guangzhou, not to throw ourselves into the net, but to launch an uprising! Chen Qimei snorted coldly.

"Uprising?"

"Uprising in Canton?"

Several subordinates looked at each other, they obviously did not understand why they launched an uprising in Guangzhou, "Wushen**", the League had already launched a new army uprising in Guangzhou, but it ended in failure, and the strength of the League in Guangdong was also weakened, if another Guangzhou uprising was launched now, no one was sure.

"Zhang Renjun is an old Manchu bureaucrat, taking advantage of the turbulent 'swinging' situation in the ** period to steal the position of governor of Guangdong, this person has not only always been hostile to **, but also after the republic, he also continued to be the enemy of the ** party, and in Guangdong rampant expropriation, the people's resentment is boiling, we are going to Guangzhou to launch an uprising, just to eliminate this monarchical diehard! You don't have to worry about our lack of strength, now many alliance members have been concentrated in Guangzhou, and there are also troops loyal to the alliance in northern Guangdong and eastern Guangxi, and the dragon commander of the 'Guangdong Gui Army' is also our person, as long as Guangzhou erects the banner of rebellion, Guangdong will soon become a real **province, if Zhao Bei is unwilling, then, it will be led by our alliance**! It's the second time! ”

Chen Qimei's words surprised everyone very much, and they all understood that this was an adventure, and it was a desperate adventure.
