In October, Yuan Shikai said that the emperor was getting more and more fierce, and Liu Tie was injured and arrested for making bombs in Shanghai, and was subsequently killed by Zheng Rucheng, the Shanghai town guard, in the West Fort.

Zhang Chun wrote several times to ask Qingzi not to let Liu Tie return to China, but he still failed to prevent the tragedy from happening. In the face of the danger of the country, it is really difficult for individuals to care about their own fate.

Liu Tie's ashes were personally brought back to Xinmin Town by Qingzi and sprinkled on the Yunlong River.

This is the second time that a ceremony has been held for a hero on the Yunlong River. Only this time it's much bigger. More than 3,000 students from Xinmin University and Middle School attended the farewell.

Kiyoko has completely separated from the Japanese imperial family and changed her name to Liu Qing, she did not keep her husband, but decided to fulfill her wish to build the country in her place.

Liu Tie's sacrifice caused the scattered clansmen to rush back to Xinmin. They concentrated in Xiaohekou Town, rebuilt the Liu family ancestral hall, and officially recorded Liu Qing's name on the family tree. Because the health foundation has been managed by the Shayang County Health Bureau. The nominal Secretary for Health, Gu Wenkuan, was not actually in charge of the work of the Health Bureau. So Liu Qing served as the director of the health bureau. In this way, three female officials appeared in Shayang County. The only male official who is actually in office and is in charge of day-to-day affairs is the police chief, Huang Yuanping. Zhou Xizhe's court president is still part-time, and he mainly works at the police academy.

Liang Qichao served as the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and his prestige was enough to suppress all parties.

Zhang Chun, the county governor, actually fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and it was more suitable to say that he was a professor at Xinmin University, because he stayed with students and soldiers all day long. Even some important meetings are rarely attended. Guo Hua, deputy county magistrate, Zeng Simin, director of the Finance and Taxation Bureau, and Liu Qing, director of the Health Bureau. Half of Shayang's current cadres are women. Of course, the main reason is the lack of cadres, most of the in-service staff are almost all working at the grassroots level, they are too young, and it will take several years to train them.

In November, Liu Ying returned to Shayang from Guangzhou.

He didn't go back to Xiaohekou, but found Zhang Chun directly, because he knew everyone well, so no one stopped him.

"Zhang Weimin, Yuan Shikai, the old thief who is already the emperor of Sima Zhao's heart, is well known to passers-by, do you still want to tolerate the traitor and act for the tiger?" Liu Yingda has the posture of fighting for his life with Zhang Chun.

The students and ordinary people around all looked at Zhang Chun. This made Zhang Chun have no way out, sighed and said, "I can completely arrest you and shoot you." ”

Liu Ying laughed: "Do you believe it, do you believe it?" Liu Ying pointed to the people around her.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Everyone doesn't believe it, because everyone knows that you are a revolutionary, and you are the biggest revolutionary party in Shayang." Liu Ying is obviously completely out of the way.

"You are a revolutionary, but why don't you admit it, why don't you follow Mr. Sun? Why did you help Duan Zhigui hunt down and kill revolutionaries? ”

Zhang Chun shook his head: "Because none of the people I killed were real revolutionaries, and today Brother Guangming was also forced to the door, I might as well say bluntly, real revolutionaries will not sell # drugs, will not sell women, and will not force ordinary people to sell their children and daughters for a living." They are just speculating for their own gain. ”

Liu Ying was choked up, because no one knew better than him what it was like within the revolutionary party, especially what kind of organization the Communist Party was.

"Zhang Weimin, I just want to ask, if Yuan Shikai is the emperor, what are you going to do."

"Autonomy, Shayang autonomy." Zhang Chun did not say it to Liu Ying, but to the students and ordinary people.

"It's the other way around." Some civilians shouted.

Zhang Chun shook his head and said, "It's not the other way around, it's autonomy." I don't want each of you to pick up a gun and go to war, because you each have your own duties, you plant the land well, our soldiers will have food to eat, and the students must study hard and work hard. Give the troops the best provisions, the best guns and ammunition. If they die, you need to make up for it in time to defend your country. So I hope that you will do your part and not get carried away by the slogans of the revolution. Each and every one of you is making a revolution to dismantle an old world and build a new one. ”

Liu Ying stood up straight, thinking that Zhang Chun gave a military salute. It was the military salute of the Shayang Garrison Regiment.

"If the people keep their promises, Liu Guangming is willing to do everything he can."

Zhang Chun sighed: "I won't let my people smear their livers and brains." I'd better accompany you home to have a look. ”

When Liu Ying went home, there was a determination to die.

"What you said is true?" Liu Ying still has some questions.

"If you stay, I will declare autonomy and take Jingshan and Zhongxiang, so that I can quickly take Tianmen and Qianjiang. You know, what I say to my students and people will definitely be fulfilled, and I will not be able to leave behind the home I have worked so hard to build. The condition is that you stay and no longer help Sun Yat-sen, I lack generals. At the same time, I want you to give up too much ambition. ”

Zhang Chun said very seriously.

"You have seen it all these years, I have done everything I promised you, Shayang County, has been firm. I was able to quickly form three full regiments, and my strength was not bad. So I said all this, I was able to do. I need someone who coordinates the battle in the middle. I know that you follow Sun Yat-sen, and the general will supervise the army at every turn. I can't give it, the best you have here for me is the chief of staff of the division. Actually, if you don't come, I will also declare autonomy, otherwise I'm sorry for Mr. Liang and Mr. Cai. ”

"Why should I stay?" Liu Ying asked.

"Because I don't want you to die, Mr. Sun doesn't have a detailed and feasible plan. If you follow him, you'll die, and he'll end up making a wedding dress. I also know that you have a connection with Li Mingyi, and he has been trying to find a way to get rid of me, and I hope he will stop. If I really wanted to kill him, I couldn't kill him now, and he wouldn't be able to run away in the future. But I don't want to kill him, no matter what he wants to get rid of me, but I know that he is patriotic, and his talents can't just be a killer leader. ”

"Why don't you join forces with others to do big things instead of nesting in this small place? I know you're talented, and you're better than all of us. It was precisely because Li Mingyi saw your talent that he decided to kill you. ”

"Quite simply, my economic plan, my administrative means, and my policy will be recognized by no one except the common people, and I will not approve of them. So I'm going to eat them one by one, and I'm not going to be soft on anyone. Of course, they won't join them. Mr. Sun can't either. ”

――――――――――――――――――

Liu Jiazhuo, Liu Ying's old father whipped Liu Ying again and again with a stick in his trembling hand, and Liu Ying knelt motionless on the ground. There were also several old people from the family, who had rushed back from all over the world. The Liu family lost a bunch of children to the revolution. And the two most excellent, Liu Tie and Liu Jie, sacrificed before and after, which was too big a blow for the Liu family.

Zhang Chun sighed, also knelt beside Liu Ying, and took a stick for him.

The old man stopped fighting. The old lady came out to see if her son had broken it.

"Seek kindness and be benevolent, their sacrifice is for the country." Zhang Chun pulled Liu Ying to stand up and said: "Now that Brother Guangming is back, he will still fight, but I promise you the old man, my soldiers are all treasures, and the Liu family also has many soldiers in my army, and I will not let them die worthless." ”

Zhang Chun, a member of the Liu family, has been protected more than once, and now most of the young people are doing things in various parts of Shayang County.

"We believe in you, for the people." One by one, the old men gave up.

Liu Ying hugged her mother for a while. Then he said to Zhang Chun: "Let's go, I want to get acquainted with your troops." ”

The old lady didn't even pull him: "You don't eat at home." ”

Liu Ying didn't answer, and neither did Zhang Chun, but Li Zhen comforted the old man. Then followed.

"If the revolution is not successful, what face do I have to stay at home and eat." Liu Ying's expression was resolute.

Zhang Chun sighed: "You have succeeded, the Republic of China has been established, and the abdication of Xuantong has been successful, and you can only do this with your strength." ”

"If you join, the revolution will have more strength, and the Republic of China will become a real Republic of China."

"I won't, as for why, you can slowly understand."
