"The sand has a wish to rise and fall Chu, and Bolang has no cone to attack Qin!"

Armed insurrection and political assassination were the established policies of the late Qing Dynasty. Political assassination, in turn, seems to be the precursor of the revolution, a way to arouse the people, and a means to overthrow the ** form of government.

Although Chen Qiang believed that the passion for political assassination alone could not achieve the victory of the revolution. However, he believed that assassination could have a certain effect of deterring and destabilizing the enemy, and that the cumulative effect of the revolution was greater than the elimination effect.

After making the illusion of leaving Shanghai for Qiong, Chen Qiang pretended to go, and sneaked near Xiaguan with Ah Mao, Feng Yi and others to carry out his first attempt. The target is to go south as a minister to inspect the military finances of the provinces and scrape the money of Tieliang.

In the past 17 years since Aixinjue Luo's entry into the customs, his grandson has become worse and worse, and the wine bag and rice bag are considered to be promising, and the mediocre people are not a problem. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was all up to the Han people to pull the cart for the Qing Dynasty, which lasted for several decades. There were Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang in the front, and Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai, and Zhang Zhidong in the back, if there were no Hanchen, the Manchu Qing Dynasty might have collapsed when it was in the Pingtian Kingdom.

Tie Liangqi is really a genetically mutated species in the Manchu royal family. In terms of ability, it seems that he is not under Yuan Shikai, and is called "the one who has died of the Han people" by the revolutionary party, which means that the person who wants to destroy the Han people in the future must be him, because this guy may revive the Aixinjue Luo clan, and maybe he will continue the rule of the Qing court for another year or two.

Whether it is trade, taxation, or the establishment and training of the army and navy, Tie Liang "has studied it deeply and followed its mysteries." According to Gracey, the U.S. vice consul in Nanjing, Tie Liang was a strong official who was "capable, clear-headed, intelligent, sharp, and decisive."

Moreover, Tie Liang hated and suspected Han officials, and was still a diehard who firmly maintained the old system of the imperial court. In order to train the flag soldiers, Tie Liang almost wiped out the southeast finance and taxes, he took 800,000 from the Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau, 780,000 from the Jianghai Customs, and hundreds of thousands from other places; When training at the small station, Tie Liang did it. Nominally, he was assisting Yuan Shikai in handling various military training matters, but in fact, he was secretly surveilling.

In short, Tie Liang is a very good person and has great ability. It's the diehards again, and if you get rid of this guy, the course of the revolution will go much smoother.

At the same time, Chen Qiang's choice to carry out the assassination at this time was also related to the establishment of the Tokyo Alliance. Although they are all revolutionary parties. However, competing for members, expanding its power, and dominating the revolution, the Revival Society and the League still competed.

It's just that the Revival Society is deliberately hiding its strength, but the newly established Alliance is in the limelight. Unspeakably, the revival will have to do several great things to raise its prestige and expand its influence. At the same time, the assassination was a reassurance of the impatience within the Renaissance. So, the target of the assassination is not one. There are several, and Chen Qiang is responsible for the biggest and most difficult one.

Xiaguan is located in the northwest of Nanjing, near the river and the city, an important land and water wharf, known as the "North Gate of Jinling". At that time, the governor of Liangjiang was no longer Li Xingrui, and the Fuxing Society had no scruples.

The difficulty of the assassination is obvious, which is why Chen Qiang wants to go out himself. Of course, if it follows the assassination pattern of ordinary revolutionaries, it will only succeed. Regardless of the behind, it is naturally easy. But in Chen Qiang's opinion, it was a dead man, which somewhat devalued the professional quality of the killer.

And professionals usually have a weakness. That is, once they encounter the time when they can give full play to their professional ability, they will not be able to hold back, eager to try, the palms of their hands are itchy and their index fingers are moving. For example, professional revolutionaries are excited when they hear about the revolution; A professional military strategist, on the other hand, trembled with excitement when he heard about the war.

So. The more challenging it is, the more Chen Qiang has to try, and the resulting impact will naturally be greater and more sensational.

Turning over a small hill overgrown with weeds, a clearing appeared in front of me, and a clear river flowed in from the side, and several large trees grew on the bank of the river. Chen Qiang motioned for everyone to stop and rest, and sat alone under the big tree to think about the details of the action.

Ah Mao and Feng Yi were so hot that after getting Chen Qiang's permission, they went down to the river to bathe. The two of them almost stripped naked, picked up a handful of water and splashed it on their bodies, amusing each other.

Roden was also infected by their emotions and gently slipped down the riverbank. He stripped naked, and felt a little embarrassed, so he put on his trousers and went into the water, and like everyone else, he squatted in the rapids and stroked the water on his body, sometimes diving in the cool water. The river washed over his hot skin, making him feel extra comfortable.

He loves the water, and he loves the crystal clear lakes of Connecticut; He loves the waves of the sea crashing on the shore, and he also loves the beach. Looking at the speckled spots on the slightly shaking water, Roden enjoyed the pleasant moment in the water.

It wasn't until a hazy feeling of uneasiness woke Luo Deng from his contemplation that he found Cat and Feng Yi staring at him. Following their gaze, Roden looked at his ** body. Are they looking at his shorts, or are they admiring the blonde hair that stretches from his chest to the base of his thighs? Roden was a little nervous, walked quickly to the shore, and without bothering to wipe the water droplets all over his body, he put on his clothes, spread out his limbs and lay down.

The blue sky and white clouds seem to be frozen in the field of vision, like a still canvas. Roden's mind was churning, he felt like he was going through a sea change, and while he couldn't say exactly what it was, he knew that a new page in his life had begun. And this new beginning, after divorcing and breaking up with Lina, and witnessing a scene of execution of robbers and murderers.

…… The executioner's body tensed, and the arc-shaped knife in his hand shook a little, but now it became calm and solemn. Roden felt the blood rush in his ears, and a suffocating sensation welled up in his throat. Immediately after, the broadsword slashed down, sending a whistling through the air. With a crisp slicing sound, the prisoner was in a different position. All this happened so quickly that after the blade cut off the head and neck, for a short time, the head was still on the neck.

In sight, the body lay motionless, the severed head falling several feet away, blood gurgling onto the solid ground. Roden couldn't believe it had ever been a living thing, but he couldn't help but keep watching......

Strangely enough, it is not pity for the dead that arises in Roden's heart, which is rare for a person who has been raised under the spirit of Christ since childhood. What is even more strange is that what Roden feels is the execution itself, which makes him feel the same kinship with the executioner of the big knife and the dead, which is really strange.

Just like the deceased, his life gradually flowed with the gushing blood, and his life seemed to gush out of his original body, flowing into a strange new world of beheading and killing. When the fear had vanished, Roden had never felt as energetic as he was now, so eager to gain knowledge. Moreover, he felt that the essence hidden in his heart had been suddenly revealed and changed from then on, which couldn't help but make him feel a little creepy.

"Mine!" Luo Deng turned his head to look at Chen Qiang under the trees on the riverbank, savoring the word. If he also wanted to make friends with Chen Qiang before, then now he wants to do it very much. He didn't know exactly what Chen Qiang was doing, but he knew that Chen Qiang was an ambitious and courageous person. Perhaps Chen Qiang is no different from those strong, stubborn Hebrew mythological figures, and it was from these myths that Roden grew up.

……………

"There is so much hair on foreigners." Zhao Dayi pouted, he was a key member of Longxingtang, and as a native of Nanjing, he also knew the nearby terrain better, so he took on the role of guide.

Chen Qiang smiled faintly and said, "This guy seems to be eager to kill, and if he is properly guided, he may be a good fighter." ”

Luo Deng was a cover, as an exploration engineer, while Chen Qiang and others disguised themselves as his followers and employees. In this way, they are rarely interrogated, and the weapons they carry are not worried about being discovered. Of course, Luo Deng didn't know the specific plan of action, and just listened to Chen Qiang's arrangement.

Zhao Dayi no longer mentioned Luo Deng, but instead talked about the news he heard through friends on the Jianghu Road.

"This place has been assigned to the Jiangnan Patrol Battalion to maintain law and order. And their gang leader is called Xu Baoshan, who turned out to be a figure in the rivers and lakes, who crossed the Qinghong Gang and was the mountain master of Chunbao Mountain. At the beginning, in the north and south of the canal, up and down the Yangtze River, there were several private salt ships under the banner of Chunbaotang. Later, Xu Baoshan returned to the imperial court, willingly acted as an eagle dog, trying his best to help the Qing government control local security, and was ruthless to his former friends in the rivers and lakes, and showed no mercy to ......"

Chen Qiang listened quietly, unlike Zhao Dayi's indignation and contempt, he had no great dislike for Xu Baoshan. It was precisely because Xu Baoshan worked hard for the Qing court and was ruthless to his friends in the rivers and lakes that the Jianghuai area, which was originally full of salt lords, gangs, and bandits, was in order. At the same time, the salt monopoly has been guaranteed, social security has been greatly improved, the folk gentry and salt merchants are also praised, and Xu Laohu's prestige is known to women and children.

In order to establish a normal social order, it is inevitable to clean up the civil gangs. At present, these party organizations are certainly a new force against the Manchus, but they are also an obstacle to the establishment of normal social order. It is of course also a way to use it without regard to make it stronger, and then purge it after the success of the revolution. But if the party is shut out from the outset and not provided with weapons and funds, they will not have the ability to undermine the new order.
