Chapter 868: A New Situation
Chang Wang Peng was the brain figure of the Jiaqunzhi Society back then, and he was also the absorber of the Fen Lecture Society, he was a standard political figure, and at the same time he also had some influence in the revolutionary army in the early days of the revolution, such a revolutionary father. Naturally, he has a wide range of contacts, not only knows many people, but also has many loyal and reliable subordinates.
That network is one of Yang Wangpeng's most loyal and reliable subordinates, when he was in the Qunzhi Society, Deng Wang was Yang Wangpeng's right-hand man, and he has always respected Yang Wangpeng, and Yang Wangpeng also regarded him as the most reliable friend.
After the revolution, Deng Wang has been following Yang Wangpeng, after the establishment of the Endeavor Association, the network is also one of the core figures of the Endeavor Association, which is regarded as the second-in-command of the Endeavor Association, originally to assist Yang Wangpeng wholeheartedly, and wanted to make Endeavor a more influential political organization and military group, but due to the rapid rise of the United Front, and Zhao Bei's entry into the center. Endeavor was eventually annexed by the United Front, and Yang Wangpeng and Deng Wang also regained their freedom after the end of house arrest, since then, the two have been living in Beijing, Yang Wangpeng is a member of the National Assembly and an adviser, and receives a salary, and Deng Gang, the thorn in the head, is not treated as well as Yang Wangpeng, so he has to go to the foreign bank to carry the work for the foreign compradors, and he has not been very good, so this strange story is inevitable.
Na Gang's personality is too stubborn, and he has always had a law for Zhao Bei, so when Yang Wangpeng finally took advantage of the Sino-German alliance turmoil to seek reconciliation with Zhao Bei and the United Front, Nawang found an errand in the city government through Yang Wangpeng. But in the end, he was beaten and reported, and then he was kicked out of the city government by the Inspectorate. rushed to Shaanxi to be the deputy county magistrate, but after all, it was a poor, Dingdangxiang county seat, and it was isolated from the world. I can't even communicate with the telegraph, and as a deputy county magistrate in that kind of place, I have to look at the county magistrate's face from time to time. The county magistrate was elected by the local township lieutenant, and he was not necessarily an enlightened person, and he was not more satisfied with doing things in the foreign bank as an official there, so a few days after Deng Wang took office, he submitted a letter of resignation to the provincial government, and then quickly returned to Tianjin, and continued to work in the foreign bank, and often corresponded with Yang Wangpeng at the beginning, but since half a year ago. The connection between the network and Yang Wangpeng was cut off, Yang Wangpeng had gone to Tianjin to look for him, but he did not find him, and the people from the foreign bank told Yang Wangpeng that he had just resigned from the foreign bank and went to Guangdong, and as for the contact address, the foreign bank was not clear.
Since then, although Yang Wangpeng has been worried about Deng Wang. But because I don't know how to contact the other party. So I gradually let go of this matter, but now. He suddenly saw Deng Wang in the venue of the Sumatra Chinese Autonomous Bureau, which made him a little surprised, he didn't expect that Deng Wang had actually gone to Nanyang, and he didn't write to tell him.
On the rostrum, Deng waved his arms and shouted at the committee members who were about to vote.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Please wait! Please wait! I have something to say! ”
The committee members did not know Deng Kan, and after inquiring about each other, several committee members walked over. To pull the net away, until this time, Yang Wangpeng noticed that he was wearing an armband on the left arm of the net, and suddenly looked at it, the armband was somewhat similar to the armband worn by the militia group, but if you look closely, you will notice that there is a pattern tattooed on the armband, and Yang Wangpeng also knows what the pattern is, it is actually a flag, called "The blue sky and the white sun are full of red." ”
"The blue sky and the white sun are full of red" This is the flag of the League, which is said to have been designed by Mr. Sun himself, and it was carried by the anti-Qing Revolutionary Army in Fujian and later in the "Guangdong Incident" instigated by Chen Qimei and others.
He was wearing this armband with the flag of the League now, which actually meant that he was doing things for the League now, and was probably already a member of the League.
Yang Wangpeng suddenly remembered that half a year ago, Di Wang wrote a letter to him, in that letter, Deng Wang vigorously attacked the "presidential government" implemented by Zhao Bei, shouting to maintain the constitution, and now. It is this constitution that the League is hyping up, and perhaps Deng Wang joined the League for this reason.
However, Yang Wangpeng is still a little strange, after he met with Mr. Sun and Xiong Chengji and others from the Alliance a few days ago, no one mentioned the matter of Deng Wang, and Deng Wang has not shown up, what does this mean? It was Deng Wang who was deliberately avoiding Yang Wangpeng. Or did Deng Wang not know that Yang Wangpeng had arrived in Sumatra?
After the incident, the whereabouts of the people in the League have been unknown, and Yang Wangpeng has been staying in the city and has not dared to run around, so he has never known that Diwang is in Sumatra.
It's impossible to get an answer by sitting in a corner. So Yang Wangpeng stood up and walked to the rostrum, intending to ask Deng Gang.
When Yang Wangpeng rushed to the rostrum. Di Cai was still shouting loudly, and the young men who rushed into the venue with him were pushing and shoving with several committee members who walked over to stop Deng Wang from disrupting the order of the venue. For a moment, there was some chaos in the hall, and the committee member who presided over the meeting slapped the table and called for someone to call the guards outside.
Seeing this scene, Yang Wangpeng hurriedly snatched it over, grabbed Di Wang's right arm, and said, "Jun Yi! You calm down! What the hell are you trying to say?
Di net was pulled by someone, and he was also a little surprised. When he saw Yang Wangpeng's face clearly, he was also stunned.
"Zilun? Why are you here? When did you come to Sumatra? ”
Without waiting for Yang Wangpeng to reply, the administrative member of the Autonomous Bureau, who was presiding over the meeting, pushed away the crowd, walked over, and asked Yang Wangpeng. "Mr. Yang Wang, do you know this person?"
"Recognize. He's a friend of mine, and he used to work in the central government, but now he doesn't work in politics
Yang Wangpeng knows. What the committee members here value most is the identity of the "central person", so first pull the tiger skin and wrap the thorn of the Deng net, so as not to throw out the pointed points of the angry committee members. Many of them have fought with the natives, and some of them still have pistols in their pockets when they hold meetings, and if Di Wang continues to shout like this, it will definitely not be the committee members who are unlucky in the end.
"Since it's your friend, we won't hold him accountable for disrupting the order of the venue, but he must also shut up, now that the election is about to begin, he is so troublesome, even if I don't care about him, the other committee members will not be polite to him."
The committee member nodded, which was considered to be a spare, but the net did not appreciate it, and still shouted at the top of his voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen! You are here to elect the Director. But do you know what an election is? Do you know the meaning of the ballot? How can you ensure that the chosen ones will serve you? ”
Seeing that Deng Wang was so ignorant, Yang Wangpeng was suddenly a little anxious, and sure enough, Deng Wang's voice did not fall. A leather shoe flew over and smashed on his head, and then he heard a Cantonese accent, although Yang Wangpeng didn't understand it very well, but he also understood that it would never be a word of praise for Di Wang.
"Whose leather shoes? Who threw the leather shoes? ”
One of Di Wang's partners picked up the leather shoe with steel spikes on the sole and shouted at the commissioners. Of course, no one answered him, only boos and curses were answered, and order in the hall was completely unmaintainable.
Just when everyone was at a loss, they just listened to "pop." The venue suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked for prestige, but saw a committee member standing in the corner holding a pistol, the muzzle facing upward, still smoking.
"We're here to elect the director. I'm not here to see you monkeys! Those few of the Leagues will. Get out of here! If you don't get out, the gun in my hand will be unkind! ”
The committee member spoke Shandong's dialect, and after finishing speaking, he sat back down.
The member presiding over the meeting hurriedly walked back to the rostrum, picked up the wooden hammer, and said, "Bang bang." He knocked a few times, and then asked the man, "Who told you to bring a gun?" Guards, guards! Collect his gun! ”
The gunman had no choice but to hand the pistol to the guard to hold first, but then he stood up again and said a few words.
"If you want to choose, choose quickly! The more we sit here, the less profit we have from trading! Don't you keep saying that this election is to protect interests? Now, I want to protect my interests! ”
The voice fell, and I heard a cheer from the entrance of the venue.
"Well said! Elections are to protect the interests of the electorate, and the so-called "democracy" is not an end, but a means, a means to ensure the interests of all! The situation in Sumatra is now chaotic. It is precisely the need for a leader with prestige and ideals to lead everyone to defend their own interests."
Everyone looked for prestige and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties standing on the side of the steps, who was speaking generously.
"Obstructing the exhibition hall?"
Yang Wangpeng recognized the middle-aged man. It's none other than Hu Hanmin, the right and left hand of Mr. Sun, the leader of the League, and it is also Xiong Chengji's New Year's friend, when he was working in the Governor's Office before, Yang Wangpeng knew him, and this time he rushed from Honolulu to Sumatra, Hu Hanmin came with Xiong Chengji and others, so Yang Wangpeng also met him on the dock. When Nawang saw Hu Hanmin coming, he immediately stopped shouting and rushed over with his companions. Standing beside Hu Hanmin, like a group of bodyguards.
"Hu Hanmin! What the hell is your alliance up to? We are now preparing to elect the leader of the Autonomous Bureau, and you have come here to make trouble, do you want to put your leader Sun out for election?
After all, he has been here in Nanyang for a while, and he is also relatively active politically, and there are many people who know him, but Hu Hanmin was active in Malaya before, and the Sumatra side was not the focus of the Alliance's attention, and it was only after the British colonial authorities expelled them that they turned to the Sumatra side to show their influence.
"Mr. Sun has a lot of prestige and lofty ideals, so why can't he run for election? Besides, the election has not yet begun, and your candidate registration process is not at all, so where is this election, this is just child's play, and the procedure is not perfect. ”
He had just shouted a few words, and then the crowd started to laugh. Then, another person walked at the entrance of the venue. Wearing a gray cloth dress and a cool helmet, it was none other than Mr. Sun from the Alliance.
After all, Mr. Sun's reputation is not ordinary, and as soon as others arrived at the venue, the venue immediately fell silent, and some committee members who did not know him also whispered to others to ask others what the origin of this person was.
Seeing this scene, Yang Wangpeng was even more surprised, he really didn't expect that when the situation reached a critical moment, the alliance would come over and intervene in vain. And it seems that they are planning to go down the mountain to pick peaches. It was up to them to continue to lead the Chinese self-government movement here.
"This time we are coming to Nanyang, not only to reorganize the alliance and consolidate the organization, but also to take advantage of the situation here to create a new situation. small
This sentence was said by Xiong Chengji to Yang Wangpeng on the dock, and Yang Wangpeng didn't know what it meant at that time, but now that he thinks about it, Yang Wangpeng suddenly understands that the Alliance has long been aware of the situation here, and Gu seems to have made corresponding arrangements.
It is indeed intriguing what role the League played in the Sumatra Incident, but on the other hand, without the Chinese Navy's ocean-going fleet, the Chinese autonomy movement here would not have exploded so fiercely. So. In the end, who will lead this Chinese autonomy movement is still unknown, and the key depends on what kind of position the central side has.
