Just as Wang Youhong thought, on the third day after he made a speech to the Jiangsu parliament asking the People's Party to request the extradition of criminals in an official document, the People's Party office in Jiangsu officially handed over to Wang Youhong an official document from the Zhejiang Provincial Procuratorate, requesting Wang Youhong, the governor of Jiangsu, to provide a list of Zhejiang personnel who had fled to Jiangsu.

Who leaked this news from, Wang Youhong didn't care. He carefully looked at the line written on the letterhead, "Received by Mr. Wang Youhong, Governor of Jiangsu and Speaker of the Jiangsu Parliament", at least on the surface, the People's Party fully recognized Wang Youhong's official status. Handing the letter to Yu Chen, the commander of the Jiangsu garrison, Wang Youhong picked up the cup and tasted the tea.

Yu Chen's brows furrowed after reading the letter, and he asked tentatively, "Wang Dudu, are you going to hand over people to them?" ”

"At such times, you must pay someone, but not all." Wang Youhong said slowly.

Yu Chen couldn't understand Wang Youhong's thoughts at all, he thought for a while before continuing to ask, "Please make it clear to the governor of the king." ”

"There are two possibilities for the People's Party to be a leader this time. The first is to want to annex us, and whoever we make friends with will definitely find fault and say that we are the sinners of the people. Use this as an excuse to attack us. If so, then we have to wait and die. Wang Youhong didn't want to say anything stupid about fighting a fight. Yuan Shikai is much more powerful than Wang Youhong, what happened after fighting a war? Jiangsu has been able to continue to exist to this day, relying on its cheekiness to survive.

As the commander of the garrison, Yu Chen was in charge of Jiangsu's entire military force. He naturally understood that Jiangsu was counting on the fate of maintaining independence by force. So he asked with anticipation: "What if the BJP doesn't want to annex us?" ”

"If they don't want to annex us, they definitely want to use our Jiangsu as a negative example. Chen Ke is a sinister and vicious person, but he still wants to teach everything he has learned in his life to those people in the People's Party. The People's Party also pays attention to seeking truth from facts, and there are some things that Chen Ke will definitely do if he just talks about it, and those people under him may not be willing to believe it. Therefore, Chen Ke would rather not expand his territory for the time being, let other provinces do stupid things, and use what actually happened to prove that what Chen Ke said was right. Speaking of this, Wang Youhong was also excited, and he cursed, "Chen Ke is really a person who has lost his conscience!" ”

Yu Chen couldn't help but nod again and again, if Chen Ke played a conspiracy to let other provinces be deceived, it would be better to treat the opponent as an equal human being, and maybe he could praise Chen Ke for being smart enough. But in order to prove that the path he pointed out was correct, he sat back and watched other provinces do stupid things to prove that Chen Ke's prediction was not wrong. But it is an existence that treats others as inferior to Chen Ke. This condescending attitude can only be evaluated by the loss of conscience. Is it tolerable or unbearable, I'm afraid it's Chen Ke's attitude.

After scolding Chen Ke, Wang Youhong calmed down his emotions before continuing: "At present, the People's Party is like a bamboo, and it is just a gesture to seize our Jiangsu, even if Chen Ke wants to take our Jiangsu as a method, he may not be able to make the people below him agree." Therefore, when it is handed over, it cannot be handed over. Their People's Party is clamoring for the repayment of blood debts, whose blood debts are being repaid? It's not the blood debt of those people in western Zhejiang! Cai Yuanpei was in the party of the Qing Restoration Society in Zhejiang, and Feng Guozhang and Zhang Renjun were killed together with the League and the Liberation Society in Guangdong, Fujian. After these people were killed, Chen Ke was only afraid that he was secretly happy in his heart. If it weren't for Feng Guozhang and Zhang Renjun killing like this in Fujian and Guangdong, Chen Ke would still have to kill like this after seizing Fujian and Guangdong. Therefore, we will kill whoever the BJP wants. ”

Yu Chen supported Wang Youhong's analysis, but he still had questions, "Wang Dudu, what does this have to do with the People's Party's refusal to attack our Jiangsu?" ”

"I'm doing this to tell the BJP that we know what they want to do. Tell them that we are willing to serve the BJP. I've also read some books over the years, and the sadness of a small country is that it has to wait for a big country. If the People's Party thinks that we are useful, we have to show the People's Party that we know how to serve the great powers. That's how to survive. Otherwise, there is only a dead end. After saying this, Wang Youhong couldn't help but unbutton the collar of his military uniform, the weather was already hot, and Wang Youhong's heart was as anxious as boiling. It's easy to say, but when you really realize your own incompetence and helplessness, this kind of pain is more unbearable than physical pain.

Yu Chen could also understand Wang Youhong's mood, and after looking up to the sky and howling, he rushed forward and was killed by the enemy, this decision was sometimes easy to make. There is a knife on the head of the word forbearance, but it is extremely difficult to taste the courage while lying on the salary.

Without waiting for Yu Chen to say comfort, Wang Youhong was already panting and said: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty has fallen, Yuan Shikai is so powerful, he still falls." I don't believe that the People's Party has been in such a situation for 10 years, and he can really stand firm. As long as we in Jiangsu can persevere, sooner or later we will see something happen to the People's Party. I want to see that day no matter what, the day when Chen Ke's little cub betrayed his relatives and died. Speaking of this, Wang Youhong's tone involuntarily increased almost an octave, and shouted with a howling momentum: "When the time comes, I will also write a "Chen Ke's Life" to burn for Chen Ke!" ”

Yu Chen was naturally extremely unwilling in his heart, but Wang Youhong's words inevitably tasted a little angry. Although he was still very depressed in his heart, Yu Chen's face couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.

In the Beiyang government, Wang Ziming is a descendant and Wang Youhong is a foreign lineage, so Wang Ziming's actual status should slightly exceed Wang Youhong. Between half a dream and half a wake, Wang Ziming suddenly felt that he was attending the congress in Beiyang, the vast banquet hall was full of dignitaries from all over the world, he stood behind Feng Guozhang and clapped his hands with others, and the energetic Yuan Shikai walked to the seat of the main seat and sat down in the applause of everyone. And Wang Youhong stood quietly three or four steps behind Wang Ziming, and no one paid attention to him. A feeling of self-satisfaction instantly filled Wang Ziming's whole body, making him excited and happy......

As his head fell sharply, Wang Ziming shuddered and woke up from his sleep. Not far in front of Wang Ziming was an arm-thick wooden fence, and a large iron chain passed through the wooden gate on the fence, and was tightly fastened by iron locks. Wang Ziming and his soldiers were locked in the same cell, which consisted of only three straw mat bunks, and Wang Ziming himself was half-lying on one bunk against the wall. Three of his own soldiers were sleeping on a bunk made of two other straw mats.

The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army fought under the city of Hangzhou, and after Wang Ziming escaped from Hangzhou, he did not flee to Fujian, but went straight to Nanjing. Everyone can see the current situation clearly, and the three southeastern provinces are finished. The defense line of Beiyang could not hold back the People's Party's army, and it was even more unlikely that it would be the opponent of the People's Party in the field. Wang Ziming didn't want to see Feng Guozhang again at all, and seeing Feng Guozhang didn't mean anything at all except being scolded angrily and even dragged out and killed to make an example.

The best way to do this is to flee to the concession in Shanghai and hide for a while. After the situation stabilizes, Wang Ziming can also choose to go to other places, or simply go abroad. In these chaotic days, it is too risky to walk along the way. There is a steamer from Nanjing to Shanghai, which is the fastest way.

Wang Ziming thought of all kinds of problems, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Jiangsu looked loose on the outside and tight on the inside. At the junction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I couldn't see a different situation than before, and Wang Ziming went to buy a ferry ticket smoothly. But he was introduced to a "waiting hall" by the port's guide, and found that there were many soldiers standing outside the gate on the other side. As soon as the door of the "waiting hall" was closed, these soldiers came in and checked the passengers one by one. All those who were suspected were taken away.

After discovering that something was wrong, Wang Ziming immediately revealed his identity as the governor of Zhejiang. Not only did the soldiers not respect the prince for this, but the officer led by him scolded and shouted: "Just like you, a little red guy, you are still pretending to be the governor of Zhejiang? What about death? While scolding, the soldiers, Wang Ziming and others tied up and took them away. After being thrown into a cell, no one interrogated or cared for him. Except for someone who delivered the prisoner's food on time and collected the wooden barrel for defecation, Wang Ziming and the others seemed to be forgotten by the world.

The days in prison pass quickly, and every day is like a year with thousands of thoughts in my heart, but by chance I calculated the time and found that Wang Ziming was actually imprisoned for more than a month.

"Wang Ziming! Come out! Someone shouted outside.

Wang Ziming's heart immediately rose with excitement, and the other party called his name, indicating that Jiangsu had recognized Wang Ziming's identity. The days of being imprisoned were too sad, and Wang Ziming was not afraid of what Wang Youhong would do to him at all. Even if you are killed, it is more comfortable than rotting day by day in a prison.

The jailer put handcuffs and shackles on Wang Ziming and the others, making it clear that they were going to pass through the court. Wang Ziming was at the mercy of the jailers, and he had the courage to treat death as home. With the background music of the bang, Wang Ziming and others followed the Jiangsu jailer out of the prison. There was already a group of people in the open space outside the cell, who were also handcuffed and shackled. Most of their clothes were tattered, and they smelled of sweat and urine. Most of them turned out to be Wang Ziming's acquaintances in Zhejiang, civil officials, military officers, parliamentarians, and leading figures of the Liberation Association, even if these people were standard accessories for prisoners from head to toe, Wang Ziming still couldn't help but give birth to the illusion that this was Zhejiang's territory.

Everyone fled Zhejiang without permission, and when they ran away, they thought that they were letting others attract the attention of the People's Party, but they didn't expect to feel a little embarrassed before they encountered such an old thing and wanted to speak. Just nodded, but no one took the initiative to say anything in the huge open space.

At this moment, a group of Jiangsu soldiers wearing Beiyang military uniforms came over with a large group of soldiers wearing People's Party uniforms. The soldiers of the People's Party took the roster and began to receive this batch of Zhejiang officers. This group of people immediately understood that Wang Youhong, the governor of Jiangsu, had made preparations a long time ago, and God knows what agreement Wang Youhong reached with the People's Party during the period of detention of these people, anyway, the facts in front of them proved without ambiguity that Wang Youhong completely regarded the Zhejiang senior members as a gift to the People's Party.

Wang Ziming's original spirit of seeing death as if he was at home disappeared without a trace, and he tried every possible way to escape from the clutches of the People's Party, but he didn't expect that he couldn't escape after suffering so much. Wang Ziming's lips and legs trembled, and fear and despair made his throat thirsty. However, Wang Ziming suddenly felt that his fears were not so shameful. Because some of the surrounding "front-facing people" in Zhejiang have already started crying, fear and despair make them cry like little girls.
