At about the same moment, the people arranged by Feng Jishan had already sent the news to the Shanghai "Times" that "Xu Shuzheng's special car had been bombed", as well as Lu Chengwu's "telegram", and the echoing telegram fabricated by Zhang Zhijiang and Lu Zhonglin.

At this time, everything went according to Feng Jishan's expectations, and for him, victory was only one step away.

But he didn't know that this was the first step away that he would never get a chance to take it.

Yanjing, Jurentang, the Great Presidential Palace of the Republic of China.

At this time, Zhang Guogan, secretary general of the Presidential Office, was reading the telegram sent by Feng Jishan in a trembling voice, and his hand holding the telegram was trembling uncontrollably with his voice.

“…… The Republic of China has been returned, and it has been two years out of ten. There is no end to the fighting. Harm the country and the people, I don't know what to do. The origin of the calamity is not in the unpreparedness of the French language, but in the demise of morality. Big bits can be stolen, and famous weapons can be abused. Bribe the public bank, without scruples. The law is coerced, and the party is self-fertilizing. The conscience is gone, and the discipline is gone. Therefore, the revolution was chaotic, the restoration was chaotic, the defense of the country was in chaos when it participated in the war and resistance, and the constitution was also chaotic. If autonomy is not repaired, external troubles will come one after another, and its chaos will be great. Heresy is rampant, customs are corrupt, and chaos is minimal. The ancient state of civilization has almost been reduced to beasts. The weak eat the strong, and the rest of the pain. ”

“…… Today's world is more than ten years ago, everyone is vying for fame, arrogant, I don't know what my conscience is, and I don't know what etiquette and righteousness have been heard since childhood. For their fathers and brothers, there are many people who say that they break the familialism. The family does not dare to impose blame on the children, and the society supervises each other, and the personality can naturally be good, is it reasonable? ”

“…… In today's society of our country, it is urgent to be forced by the desire to survive, and panic is driven by the desire for competition, and there is almost an inconclusive trend. The country of the Republic of China is about to become the Serval of Animals. ”

“…… Since materialism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there is no god in the universe and no soul in the world, but the omnipotence of material forces is recognized, and the theory of elimination is repeated with cruel and ruthless competition. There is no time to ask what is the purpose of life and what is the beauty of the universe, but how to ensure its survival and how to avoid obsolescence is an urgent question of life. In other words, it is just how to make me the superior and the winner, and the inferior and the loser. In such a world, there are advantages and disadvantages but no good and evil, and there are victories and defeats without right and wrong. The moral cloud, the mask of competition, the education cloud, the practice ground of competition; If it is peaceful competition, it is money worship, and if it is fierce competition, it is murderism. ”

"In a society of material competition, it is absolutely unreasonable to want to form a real republic and to have a real constitutional politics."

"Since the Duan clan entered Beijing, he has been indulging in political axes and reckless military force, and there has been no end to it. Relying on the prestige of victory, he coerced the people to respect himself, took the authority of the country in his hands, and regarded the Xinjiang officials as servants. …… And Xu Cheng is ambitious and in the ascendant. The nameless teacher is a desperate bet. The soldiers of the whole country are not prepared. Fly and save the millet and blame the dying disaster. Caught in a charge, forcing me to starve of food. …… This envoy will eliminate violence for the country and not avoid hardships and dangers. He has sent a telegram to the president to punish him and thank the people; Rectify corruption and use the people to find it difficult. From the domestic heroes, the great plan of the military country. ”

“…… Vitality is extinct, and remedy is difficult. Replace the old and renew, and plan only reform. The five articles of the "Outline for the Founding of the People's Republic of China" are followed: (1) breaking the employment-style system and building a clean government; (2) Employing people based on meritocracy, taking the world's public materials to govern the world's official duties; (3) Implement pro-people politics internally, and make sure that the people are hidden; (4) Emphasizing faith and harmony with the outside world, taking humanitarianism as the foundation, and sweeping away all acts of robbery and fraud; (5) Reward and punishment, and financial disclosure. ”

"The founding of the country was originally a royal insult. Cannibalism is a shame at home and abroad. Unfortunately, our country has returned since the Republic of China, and the unknown army has risen repeatedly. The struggle intensified, and the vitality healed. If the rulers have a little conscience, how should they promote peace and rest with the people? However, the war in Europe broke out and extended to East Asia. Mobilize the soldiers of the whole country and dry the bones of the people, why do they fight? Fight for whom? I am afraid that there is no answer to the main thing. In the past year, there have been floods and droughts, and famine has spread all over the land, and he is desperate to save the dead, and he is showing off his strength in the domain. Why are our people innocent of this poison? Acts of God [***], and for a while. Huanzhang and others hesitated at midnight, wanting to cry without tears. Driven by his conscience, he decided to unite his various armies and form a separate 'National Army of the Republic of China', vowing to serve the country and the people, overthrow the corrupt old political axe, and establish a new regime. If there is a person who causes trouble to the country and a belligerent and harms the people, for the sake of shortening the war period, the army will not be sympathetic to the war and deal with each other. Now the whole army has arrived in Beijing. The first good district, where the envoys of the friendly countries are located, the local order, is the most important, and it should be responsible for maintaining it. As for all political aftermath problems, the country's elites should be invited to catch up urgently, discuss remedial solutions, and open up a new situation. The so-called difficult to prosper the country, or that is. Lindian warped enterprise, waiting for words. Feng Jishan, Hu Jingyi, Sun Yue, Mi Zhenbiao, Yue Weijun, Tian Yujie, Deng Baoshan, Li Jicai, Li Yunlong, Feng Zhendong, Cao Shiying, Zhang Zhijiang, Li Mingzhong, Song Zheyuan, Liu Yufen, Lu Zhonglin, Jiang Hongyu, Sun Lianzhong. ”

After reading this telegram, which can be called the longest since the founding of the Republic of China, Zhang Guogan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"He wants to say that we are all puppets of Lao Duan and Xiao Xu." Tang Qianming, the Minister of the Navy, who was sitting in a precarious position with a saber in both hands, sneered, "I really want to cover it up!" ”

On the surface, the statement of this message is aimed at Lao Duan. In fact, it was to kill Xu Youzheng's cover-up, and the goal was to overthrow the political axe and replace it. Liang Qichao said, "Because he Feng Jishan's self-knowledge and prestige qualifications are not enough to lead the political axe, he is engaged in such a hand." ”

"It doesn't make sense to talk about that now." Vice Premier Zeng Qi said, "Feng's army has arrived in the capital, and whether it is fighting or defending, it will be a great disaster for the people of Li." He looked at the two empty seats not far away, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead again.

The two seats were those of Zhang Xiaozhun, chief of the General Staff, and Cai Yi, minister of the army.

At this moment, a secretary walked in and handed a newly received telegram to Zhang Guogan, who hurriedly glanced at it and handed the telegram to Xu Shichang.

"I'm afraid this war disaster is inevitable." Xu Shichang sighed, raised the telegram in his hand, and said, "Cao Kun, the envoy of the Zhilu-Yu Parade, and Wu Peifu, the envoy of the Lianghu Patrol, have telegraphed the whole country and are going to raise troops to attack Feng Jishan." ”

"What?" Xu Shichang's words were like a thunderbolt in the hall, and several people screamed.

"I can't fight." Yang Shuoming's voice suddenly sounded, and it suddenly overwhelmed the shouts below.

"What do you say? Hanzhi? Xu Shichang asked with some surprise.

"Cao Kun and Wu Peifu should be making their own positions, and they don't necessarily really want to fight Feng Jishan." Yang Shuoming seemed to fully understand Cao Kun and Wu Peifu's thoughts, "As long as we can deal with Feng Jishan, they won't do it." ”

"But now we can't use enough troops to fight against Feng Jun?" Xu Shichang looked at Yang Shuoming with hope, as if he wanted to find a reason to calm down from him, "Why can't Hanzhi fight?" ”

"Since the republican republic, my political axe has abolished unequal treaties externally, recovered rights and interests, and focused on economic construction, developing people's livelihood, and introducing foreign capital internally, and the achievements have been obvious to all, Feng Jishan knows it in his heart, so he took advantage of dealing with Duan Zhiquan's political axe, because he couldn't find a more suitable reason." Yang Shuoming said, "These can be seen from his electricity. ”

"The teacher is nameless, and he generates civil strife." Yang Shuoming looked at Xu Shichang, who was full of doubts, and said, "This is inevitable. ”

"But we can't hope for trouble within them now, can we?" Liang Qichao didn't understand what Yang Shuoming meant, he looked at Yang Shuoming in surprise, as if he didn't understand why he would say such a thing at such a critical moment.

Yang Shuoming looked up at the golden wall clock on the wall, then at the watch on his wrist, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Judging from the current time, they should have exchanged fire with the garrison, but now there is no movement, don't you think it's strange that we have a meeting here?" Yang Shuoming looked at everyone and said loudly.

"What does Hanzhi mean ......," Liang Qichao asked with understanding.

"Hanzhi is trying to say that they can't figure out that they have civil strife now, right?" Zeng Qi thought for a moment and asked.

"Pretty much." Yang Shuoming looked at his watch again and said.

Beijing suburbs, Nanyuan, Siluotang.

At this time, in this wooden chapel, Feng Jishan was the only one.

“…… Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, and your kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. The bread that we have said to have eaten is given to us today. forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors. He will not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For all is thine, and the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Dear Heavenly Father, you are Lord worthy of praise and praise, and I thank you Father that you have answered me, and that you will make my praise your throne; When I praise you, you are with me. Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you and praise you for the answer you have said to me, when I praise you, you will take away all the bondage of my sins, that I may have a full peace and joy before you; Thou shalt take away all my sicknesses, and give me a healthy mind; Take away all evil thoughts from me, and make me an overcomer in spiritual warfare. Heavenly Father, I confess to you all my sins, past and present, visible and invisible, and manifestly hidden. Heavenly Father, I will repent before you, I will be a pure man of heart, and I will not commit these sins again, please be gracious to me; Crucify my sin and my sins with the Lord Jesus Christ; that I am dead to sin, and sin is dead to me, and that I am alive in the face of your word. Father, forgive me all my sins, blot out my sins and cleanse me from them by the blood of the Lord Jesus, cleanse my heart and my mind by the blood of the Lord Jesus, cleanse my soul so that I may be cleansed by your grace and by the blood of the Lord Jesus, that I may be a pure man before you, that I may see your face in righteousness. that my prayers may be heard by God, that I may be blessed and blessed before God. In the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen! ”

Feng Jishan sat there praying silently, his hands clasped together in a pious manner, and he closed his eyes, listening to the voice of his heart, hoping to be inspired by the Holy Spirit.

I don't know how long it took, Feng Jishan didn't feel any revelation from God, only felt a familiar figure slowly approaching him.

"Why are you here? Tak Quan? Feng Jishan opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the frugally dressed woman sitting beside him, and asked.

"I want to be with you."

The woman in front of her is named Li Dequan, Feng Jishan's second wife, at this time, she is looking at him with gentle eyes, and said softly.

"Thank you." Feng Jishan sighed and held her hand, he noticed that she had put on a pair of white gloves for the first time today, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"There's one thing I've always wanted to ask you." Li Dequan looked at Feng Jishan and said softly.

"What is it?"

"Why do you like me?"

"I like your naivety, straightforwardness, and genuineness. And I know that you will be a good mother. ”

"Oh." Listening to Feng Jishan's answer, Li Dequan groaned softly and lowered his head.

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Feng Jishan then asked.

"Nothing."

"Actually, I also want to ask you, why did you marry me?"

Hearing Feng Jishan's question, Li Dequan raised his head and met Feng Jishan's gaze.

"I married you because God sent me to oversee you."

"Oh? Then you tell me, God has sent you to oversee what I do? Feng Jishan asked with some amusement.

"God is afraid that you will not do practical things for the common people, so he sent me to supervise you." Li Dequan replied.

Listening to Li Dequan's words, Feng Jishan laughed.

"You're doing a good job of supervision." Feng Jishan said, "I am now doing one thing for the people of the whole world, a big event that is enough to change their fate." ”

"You've been so worried for the past two days, isn't it?" Li Dequan asked.

"Hmm." Feng Jishan nodded, "You must know that China has not had an unsatisfactory political axe in the past ten years, nor has there been a political axe that is full of evil. The very good and bad political axes have only been realized at the local level, not at the central level. Because the central government is deliberately doing good, it does not have the ability to do all the good, and the central government is deliberately doing evil, and it does not have the ability to do extreme evil. …… In this environment, no one can do much good. Only by building a strong political axe, as in Soviet Russia, can we build a state internally and resist the invasion of a strong enemy externally......"

"The country has the ability to survive, the political axe has the ability to defend the country, and other social and economic problems may have gradual relief solutions; But have you ever thought about it, does the Soviet Russian model apply to China? If the country is unable to survive because of internal strife, and after the invasion of external troubles, all experiments of social revolution can only be ravaged by the iron heel of the enemy, along with all existing political systems, and there will never be any China that will be destroyed or destroyed, and the red zone of a certain place will be spared. Li Dequan said.

"So the fundamental question we have now is how to build a nation that can live in the world." Feng Jishan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard her say such a thing.

"I think that if China wants to be strong, it does not necessarily have to be revolutionary. Over time, China will be finished! Don't think I'm deliberately exaggerating in front of you. In the past, Sun Yuan's competition was an example. Since the founding of the Republic of China, there has not been a single time in which the diplomacy of the Republic of China has not been unconstrained by civil wars, and there has not been a single civil war that has not been used by outsiders as a tool of aggression! He dared to invade our country, firstly, because there was no balance of international forces in the Far East at that time, and secondly, because he knew that the central political axe was burdened by the revolutionary party at that time, and he was absolutely incapable of resisting. The revolutions of recent years in China, although their intentions were pure, their natural effects were the bloodshed and poverty of the people. We do not have the capacity and qualifications for revolution. In our country, revolution is a luxury for the destruction of the country. This is a revolutionary doctrine of purity of purpose, but who can guarantee purity of purpose? Li Dequan was arguing with Feng Jishan as he pulled his hand out of Feng Jishan's wide palm.

"What I'm doing now, you may not understand, but you will understand in the future." Feng Jishan looked at her and said in a sincere tone, "Everything I do is for the country and the people, and at this point, no matter what others say, I have a clear conscience." ”

"I see." Li Dequan lowered her head, Feng Jishan saw that there seemed to be a flash in her eyes, and wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Probably because of the momentary knot, Li Dequan stretched out her hand and pressed her chest, her face became a little flushed, an uncomfortable look appeared on her face, and her body began to shake slightly.

Just as Feng Jishan stretched out his hand to support her crumbling body, he suddenly saw her wrist flip, and there was a small pistol in her hand at some point!

This pistol is small and exquisite, with a delicate and unique shape, and although the body is small, the barrel is thick and long, which looks very weird.

may be because this change was too sudden, Feng Jishan didn't react at all for a while, at this time Li Dequan had already pulled the trigger without hesitation, and with the two soft sounds of "pounce", Feng Jishan's chest suddenly splashed blood!

Feng Jishan's body froze there all of a sudden, he looked at Li Dequan with unbelievable eyes, and when he saw those eyes again, he found that there was a strange and cold light shining in them, just like the two of them just now.

Li Dequan stood up calmly, took a step back, and pulled a little distance from Feng Jishan to prevent his counterattack, she looked at Feng Jishan, who was covered with blood on her chest, aimed the barrel of the gun at his head, and pulled the trigger again.
