Chapter 222: The United Front, the Ruffians Make Trouble
When this new term with the characteristics of the times appeared in the press and media, it marked that the merger of the "revolutionary company" led by the Renaissance Association had become a reality, and it also meant that the biggest turmoil in the four years since the founding of the League ended in disintegration. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Minbao" is still edited by Zhang Taiyan and continues to publish, but it has been purchased by the Fuxing Association; Jiao Dafeng, Zhang Baixiang, Sun Wu and other Huxiang revolutionaries announced that they would join the united front, and Tao Chengzhang and other revolutionaries in Jiangsu and Zhejiang announced that they would join the united front......
It can be said that Huang Xing's renunciation exacerbated the already chaotic Tokyo League, and it became an easy choice for Yang Dusheng, who was sent by the Fuxing Association, to join the Fuxing Society, which was vigorously carrying out the revolutionary movement.
Beichen started a new business in Nanyang, and in fact abandoned the Tokyo Alliance, and even said in a counterattack letter: "Soyun has organized a new group, and my brother has already done it in Nanyang, so the organization of Nanyang and the Tokyo Alliance are not the same thing. The first two years of the army were raised in the name of the revolutionary party itself, and not in the name of the League." Such an obvious statement undoubtedly played a role in contributing to the disintegration of the Tokyo Alliance.
In the first issue of the resumption of the "Minbao", Beichen's letter was made public, and the reason for the merger with the Fuxing Society was stated, "Mr. has reorganized the group and raised troops without using the name of the Alliance, and he has terminated the Alliance first. The Tokyo Alliance solicited the opinions of the members and voted, and the majority of the members were in favor of uniting with the Renaissance Association and following the leadership of the Renaissance Association, Mr. Song Fuhua, as the leader......"
Although there is no explicit statement about the removal of Premier Beichen from office, the meaning has been made clear and the procedure is reasonable and reasonable. If the minority obeys the majority, can a few pro-Sun factions be obstructed if they resolutely do not convene a conference? Again. The Tokyo Alliance is united with the Renaissance Society, and it is not the same thing as the Nanyang group that has been reorganized by Beichen, which is Beichen himself.
The two revolutionary brands of the Revival Society and the League can be said to have been merged into one, and the revolutionary purpose has also been slightly modified, "to overthrow the Manchu autocracy and establish the Republic of China." All men are equal and have their own land".
It can be seen from the purpose that the Revolutionary United Front no longer has a strong mood of fullness, and the spearhead is directly aimed at the Qing court and autocracy. On the other hand, everyone is equal and has their own land, which discarded the original controversial "equal land rights" of the League, and the argument is more scientific and realistic.
In terms of personnel, it is mainly the members of the league in Huxiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Sichuan provinces who are the most active in joining, which to a large extent makes up for the lack of development of the revival association in these areas.
Although many of the new entrants have not yet given up on the idea of starting a party. But there was already a ready-made revolutionary battlefield in the southwest, and the United Front had set up committees to carry out the agreement and arrangements for the revolutionary work. In this way, it can not only make the hot-blooded young people useful, but also put an end to the shortcomings of the original Tokyo Alliance, which did its own thing, had chaotic commands, and acted inconsistently;
Another important change was the stable financial support of the Tokyo Alliance, which completely rejected the participation of the Japanese. As a result, the united front appears more pure and less susceptible to the influence and influence of external forces.
The merger of the two revolutionary groups. In other words, the union immediately experienced a great sensation and repercussions. Both foreign observers and domestic insiders believe that there is no doubt that the already powerful Revival Society has united to become the largest revolutionary group. At the same time, the Renaissance Society will occupy a dominant position in the Chinese revolution. It is even more unshakable.
Perhaps by this time, Beichen, who was far away in North America, had not realized that the consequences would be so serious because of his stubbornness and the feeling that the Tokyo Alliance would not listen to the command and start anew. He had previously established a branch of the League in San Francisco, which was changed to the Chinese Revolutionary Party. Faced with doubts about the name change. He openly said: "The League has been abolished, the funds are raised by me, and the party members have no right to interrogate, so why should they insist on criticizing?" ”
The members of the Tokyo Alliance retorted: "The League is organized by a nationwide association of people with lofty ideals, so why should it be canceled by one person? The money is a direct movement, but it is raised in the name of the public, and there are expenses, which should be known to the whole person, and He Yun should not be asked. In the face of doubts, Beichen had nothing to say and was silent.
Obviously, Beichen overestimated his reputation and prestige. He felt that the League was made because of him, and that it was not in the name of the Prime Minister of the League that it would have more influence. He believed that as long as he ascended to the heights, he would still be able to organize a revolutionary group that was not weaker than the Tokyo League.
It can also be seen from here that as the prime minister, Beichen does not know much about the organization and leadership of the Tokyo Alliance, or he cares very little. On the one hand, this made the members of the Tokyo Alliance alienated and suspicious of it, and on the other hand, it also made Beichen unaware of the light and dark power contained in the Tokyo Alliance.
At this point, the great alliance of revolutionary groups launched by Chen Wenqiang took the opportunity was settled, and the Fuxing Society achieved a brand merger at a very small cost, and the revolutionary forces were so large that no one could shake its dominant position in the Chinese revolutionary trend.
……………
The sky was faint, neither sunny nor cloudy, like the mood of the people in the barracks.
The first three patrol battalions were stationed in the west of Guangzhou, and after seven or eight days, they were confined to the barracks. It's not bad to eat and drink, training is every day, but if you want to go out, it's not good. More than 30 so-called military policemen, all of them strong and strong, wore bands on their arms, and guarded the barracks gates.
This kind of ignorance seems to be not taken seriously at all. A few days passed like this, and some guys were tired enough, and their resentment was rising, and they gradually wanted to make trouble.
In the dormitory, several veterans gathered together and vented their dissatisfaction with swearing.
"Damn, when we're stinky socks, let's hang them here." Han Xin shook his head and threw the drinking jar on the table.
"Yes. Train all day long, not to mention the salary, you have to let us go out and be happy! Zhao Lingguang turned his wrist and looked eager to try, but unfortunately his face was full of obscenity, which made people dare not compliment.
"Hehe, that guy surnamed Zheng still dares to put on a stinky shelf with us, and he doesn't weigh his own pounds." Monk Zhu gently stroked the scars on his face, and said with a sneer: "Lao Tzu crawled out of the pile of dead people, and he really didn't look at him in his eyes. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, go out to eat, drink and have fun, what does he dare to do to us?" Zhao Lingguang sobbed.
"No, it's not good!" Wang Laofu half-squinted his eyes. said weakly: "No matter what, he is the captain of the gendarmerie and our commander, if there is a trouble, he will have to wear small shoes in the future!" ”
"it, he'll have to rely on our brothers to make meritorious service to the bandits in the future!" Han Xin said nonchalantly: "Go." Let's go out together, let him know that our brother is not a soft egg. ”
"Yes, let's go together, whoever doesn't go is a bad seed." Zhao Lingguang was afraid that things would not make a big fuss, so he added another fire.
As soon as he said this, he forced everyone to the point where they could only slip away, and even Wang Laofu stood up a little helplessly, brushed the folds on his clothes, and waited to follow behind and shout and cheer.
"Let's go. Let's go into the city and have fun! Han Weixin beckoned, walked out of the dormitory with more than a dozen people, and went straight to the gate.
"Stop, the chief has an order, and you are not allowed to go out without a pass." The sentry at the gate of the barracks dutifully stopped the group of ruffians who were swaggering out.
"Sir? Sir, we didn't even see a single figure. Han Xin pulled out the sentry's gun with a big grin. He said nonchalantly, "What's the matter with keeping us here?" ”
"Yes. We're going out to get some air, you get out of the way. Zhao Lingguang stepped forward and pushed the sentry.
The sentry took a step back, not panicking, but took his finger in his mouth and whistled loudly.
With the sound of the whistle, a group of soldiers ran in from outside the door, in the barracks, and from the watchtower. They were all loaded with guns, ran to the front, and couldn't help but say, surrounded these veteran ruffians, and the bright bayonets were pressed straight to their chests.
"It's broken. Hit the muzzle of the gun. Wang Lao shrank and muttered in a low voice: "This is deliberate, just waiting for us fools to come out and make trouble!" ”
Zhao Lingguang's eyes rolled, looking at this scene, he was obviously prepared, and he had a feeling of falling into a trap. Not only him, but everyone else was also shocked, and no one expected that this matter would be guarded before it started.
"Brethren, we are not going out." Wang Laofu didn't know who pushed him, and almost hit the bayonet, he quickly reached out and carefully moved the bayonet away, and said with a smile: "Let's go back, and ask you to give way." ”
A young officer appeared with his hands behind his back and sneered at the veterans: "You guys just stay here honestly, and wait for the commander to come back and deal with it!" ”
"That-" Zhao Lingguang was still about to defend a few words, but the young officer had already waved his hand impatiently, and the soldiers pulled the bolts of their guns and pointed their muzzles and bayonets at them.

"My lord, I'm afraid Qingxiang will have to act in advance." Chen Jiongming summed up the recent report materials, reported to Chen Wenqiang, and put forward suggestions, "The city of Guangzhou and the nearby commercial places have almost been cleared up, and the results are good, but the public security situation in the province does not seem to be improving." ”
Chen Wenqiang took the information, just took a cursory look at it and put it down, and said unhurriedly: "According to the current information, we can choose key areas to clear the township." But as for the army, the police can be trusted, patrol the battalion, it is more than enough to disturb the people, and it is useless to suppress bandits! ”
"Didn't you send a gendarme?" Chen Jiongming asked with some confusion: "With their supervision and suppression, it should be no big deal, right?" ”
Chen Wenqiang shook his head lightly and said: "In troubled times, chaos is used, this is not only limited to suppressing bandits, but also applicable to those patrol battalions with corrupt military discipline. It is not enough to send a military police, it is also necessary to have a group of people to deter them, to eliminate the inferior and retain the strong, and to continuously supervise the ammunition pressure. ”
Chen Jiongming felt justified, so he listened carefully until he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Hearing the news of the ruffian's troubles, Chen Wenqiang first looked serious, and when he heard that the situation had been controlled, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he actually laughed, which really made people a little confused.
Is this going to cut off people's heads and kill people? Chen Jiongming had some guesses, and he was also a little awe-inspiring.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Chen Wenqiang is waiting for this news, and now that the stone has landed, it is time for him to go out.
"Your Excellency, please." Chen Jiongming respectfully followed behind him.
……………
In the barracks, the troublemakers were watched closely. But after a long time, these people couldn't maintain a posture, and they all secretly moved their bodies. Other soldiers watched curiously from a short distance, talking about the punishment they would receive.
A rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, from far to near, and in a blink of an eye, he ran into the barracks, riding first, the military uniform was straight and alternative, it was Zheng Laosan, the backbone of Longxingtang who had followed Chen Wenqiang for a long time, and also participated in the battle in Qiongzhou.
Zheng Laosan appeared in front of everyone for the first time with a majestic attitude, which did have the effect of preemptively. But everyone has their own opinions and ideas, and although they dare not say it, their expressions are different, and they can express one or two things to some extent. Kicking off the horse, Zheng Laosan had a gloomy face and strode over. However, Chen Wenqiang and others in the back were unhurried and dismounted to watch.
"Salute-salute!" The young officer leading the team stretched out his voice and shouted loudly.
Brush, surrounded by the trouble-making veteran ruffians The gendarmes took the lead in collecting their guns and saluting, these veterans looked at each other, hesitating and did not know whether to follow suit, saluting is a trivial matter, but a few guys think that if they do this, they will lose their momentum, and they want to stiffen.
Zheng Laosan's cold gaze slowly swept over the troublesome guy, yes, it's not a big deal, but he needs this excuse to play.
Under the forced gaze of his gaze, there were sparse veterans saluting, some taking the lead, and the stiff guys had no confidence, although reluctantly, although reluctantly, but in the end everyone saluted.
Zheng Laosan kept everyone's expressions in mind, smiled coldly, slowly replied, and shouted in a low and short and powerful voice: "All assemble!" With that, he turned around and went straight to the playground.
The whistle sounded, and the soldiers in the barracks heard the order, and in a short time, the team completed the assembly procession. The troublesome veteran ruffian was escorted to the front of the line, and a sense of foreboding floated in his heart.
Zheng Laosan walked slowly in front of the team, squinting his eyes from time to time, looking at the troublesome veterans one by one. When it comes to killing, he has the blood of opium dealers and gangs on his hands, and he is even more contaminated with too much blood on the battlefield, and unconsciously, the bloody atmosphere of killing has penetrated into his body.
The murderous aura may sound vague, but it exists. From the point of view of scientific research, this belongs to the sixth sense of human beings, but most people are often detached from nature, this feeling will slowly weaken, but it has not disappeared, such as those veterans who have fought bloody battles on the battlefield, or those hunters who have lived in the forest all their lives to hunt, these people who have been through life and death for a long time, can slowly stimulate this feeling.
