ps:
Ask for a monthly pass, like to support the genuine
On that day, the cold wind gradually rose, and the goose-yellow ginkgo leaves on the street were scattered on the ground. At the presidential palace near Xinhua Gate, Duan Qirui was playing Go with Song Xiaofei in the backyard. Duan Qirui was wearing a satin robe embroidered with heavy gold threads, and his face was a little bad, because his wife Wu died of illness not long ago, he was very sad, and Song Xiaofei would send someone to Duan Qirui to come to the presidential palace to play Go to relieve his boredom.
Song Xiaofei picked up a white chess piece, saw that Duan Qirui was still strained, and said to him: "Zhiquan, my brother and sister have passed away for a while, have you considered continuing the string?" ”
Duan Qirui shook his head, frowned and sighed, "When I married my wife, she was only nineteen years old. My parents died, and I have been busy with military affairs all these years, and I hate to take care of my family, so I rely on him to support the family and raise children alone. Just after two good years, she went again. I won't marry again in three years. ”
Song Xiaofei nodded, "It's not easy for my brother and sister. ”
At this time, Zhang Peiyu came up to salute and poured tea for Song Xiaofei and Duan Qirui. Her father died in battle with Yuan Jiasan's army, and has been fostered in the Yuan family, Song Xiaofei's second wife Yu Xiaowan recognized Zhang Peixing as a righteous daughter, because of her special status, ordinary people really dare not have thoughts about her. At this time, she was twenty-six years old, unmarried, and belonged to the "super leftover girl". She was ten years old when she was young Duan Qirui, and she had heard of Duan Qirui's personality on weekdays, and often heard Song Xiaofei praise Duan Qirui's talent, and gradually had a good impression of Duan Qirui.
Song Xiaofei looked at Zhang Peiyun's eyes and knew that she was interesting to Duan Qirui, so he quipped, "Zhiquan, what do you think of the little girl?" ”
Duan Qirui said: "Big brother said that it was funny, we are brothers who worship the post." It's a generational separation. What will outsiders think? ”
Song Xiaofei said: "Emotional matters, cold and warm self-knowing, no matter what others say." ”
Zhang Peixing blushed when she heard this. At this time, Ruan Zhongshu hurriedly walked over. Say as you go. "Oh no, President. Something big is wrong. ”
Song Xiaofei held a white child in his hand, and after he started, he asked, "What makes Dou Zhan so flustered?" ”
Nguyen Zhongshu said: "Justice General Liang Qichao was bombed at the Shanghai dock. ”
Duan Qirui stood up and said, "Huh? Is there such a thing? ”
Ruan Zhongshu gave a detailed account of what happened that day.
October. More than 100 representatives from all walks of life from the industrial and commercial circles came to bid farewell to the Liang Qichao delegation that was about to go to Europe and the United States to inspect constitutionalism. Parade to see them off, and the patrol of the Shanghai Police Department was loaded with guns and live ammunition to maintain law and order.
Liang Qichao, Liang Shiyi, Yang Du, and five others traveled from Beijing to Shanghai, preparing to take the "New York" passenger ship from the dock in Shanghai to the United States of America. After a while, the convoy of Attorney General Liang Qichao and others came to the wharf. Among them, there is a float, a first-class car, two second-class cars and two third-class cars, and the first-class cars are planted with five-color national flags and flutter in the wind. In the midst of the jubilation at the scene, a figure approached the convoy, carrying a homemade firing pin bomb in his arms.
The whistle of the "New York" passenger ship breaking down sounded, Liang Qichao and they got out of the car, the crowd waved goodbye, and when they were about to arrive at the wharf, there was a loud "bang", a bomb exploded, the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the send-off people and the student patrol members of the various schools were in chaos, and they ran away one after another.
Fortunately, Liang Qichao, Liang Shiyi, Yang Du and other five people, except for Yang Du's injury, were all fine, but the people around him saw off the pond fish, and the coachman and family members who accompanied Liang Qichao were seriously injured, as well as a family of three onlookers, who suffered from this accident. The bomb directly caused 24 casualties at the scene, some of whom were students in the school.
The Assassin himself was blown to pieces, his face bloodied and illegible. The Shanghai Police Department photographed the assassin's face and traveled to the provinces for identification, and finally confirmed that this person was Wu Yue, a student of the Zhili Higher School and a native of Tongcheng, Anhui Province, who was a member of the Fumin League and had ties to the Shanghai Youth Gang.
Wu Yue set up an "assassination group" in Shanghai. Considering that the pistol was not reliable, Wu Yue began to learn to make bombs. Before the action, Wu Yue also wrote a manual "The Age of Assassination", which summarized his extreme idea of assassination to save the country, he believed: "Today's era is not a revolutionary era, and the era of real assassination." In his so-called "era of assassination", the targets of the revolutionary party's assassinations were not only the only people in the system or the corrupt officials, but the capable and even ethical officials, because these people who could promote reform and repair the system would greatly reduce the chances of the success of the revolution.
Liang Qichao was still sympathetic to the revolution, and when he heard this, he denounced: "If you can't change the law, you should reform, and if you can change the law, you should also reform; If you can't save the people, you should reform, but if you can save the people, you should also reform. 'Hey! What do you mean? How can the purpose of the Husband be happy? What do you say to save the people! ”
Ruan Zhongshu handed Song Xiaofei a telegram, "This is a telegram sent back by General Liang, asking if the constitutional delegation will continue." ”
In addition to asking whether to set off on the journey, Liang Qichao also said in the letter that the collusion between the Youth Gang and the Revolutionary Party has become a destabilizing factor in Chinese society. Song Xiaofei read the letter and said to Ruan Zhongshu, "Of course, the constitutional inspection mission will be carried out. The injured Yang Du stayed behind to recuperate. You go and send a telegram to Brother Xu Shichang in my name and ask him to fill Yang Du's position. ”
Ruan Zhongshu said: "I have heard that the Qing Gang in Shanghai has opened casinos and brothels, divided land for hegemony, oppressed the good people, and become an underworld force in society. ”
Duan Qirui immediately stood up and said, "I will immediately lead the troops to Shanghai and destroy all these people." ”
Song Xiaofei snorted and said, "These people should have cleaned up a long time ago." Those who like to point their guns on their siblings, no matter how much they put their ignorance and cruelty under the banner of doing justice for heaven or justice, will inevitably exercise tyranny after coming to power, which will be a nightmare for the people and a disaster for the nation! On the land of our republic, we will never allow the existence of underworld and evil forces. Regardless of the youth gang and gangsters, let them see what the people's government is. However, you don't need to slaughter chickens with knives, and the police department can come forward to fight blacksters in Shanghai. ”
Ruan Zhongshu said: "I am afraid that the local police alone will not be able to do it, and they will probably have something to do with the Green Gang." ”
Song Xiaofei said: "Call Tan Sitong and let him and Dadao Wang Wu take people to Shanghai to carry out a special anti-crime operation." Other provinces have also set up task forces to dispatch the newly established armed police force before the Spring Festival this year to sweep away the underworld forces across the country! ”
