Chapter Twenty-Six: Nanjing? Nanking!

In 1911, it was a turbulent year, and on the last day of this year, an incomplete summary and answer sheet was finally made for this extraordinary year, and the provinces in the south that gained independence began to rush to Nanjing, convened a meeting, and began to prepare for the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Revolutionary Government under the recommendation of powerful figures in each province!

On the New Year's Day of 1912 in the Gregorian calendar, the Nanjing Provisional Congress finally selected Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who had just arrived in a hurry from the United States, as the provisional president of the Provisional Revolutionary Government, and on this day, Sun Yat-sen took the oath of office, and since then, the Republic of China has been established, opening a new page in Chinese history, and at the same time, on this day, the Qing court has also been ruthlessly swept into the dustbin of history......

This historic moment has far-reaching implications, not only to end the more than 200 years of feudal rule of the Qing court, but also to end more than 2,000 years of feudal system in this magical land of the East.

However, at the beginning of the establishment of the new revolutionary government, hidden dangers also emerged, such as Sun Yat-sen could only be elected provisional president instead of full president, and there was no lack of influence and manipulation of the reformists and constitutionalists who were mixed in with the revolutionaries.

Han Zheng naturally knew about this significant historical event for a long time, but at this time, he didn't have time to experience this kind of storm, but was fully immersed in the shadow of his father's death, enduring the heart-wrenching pain, his father's death hit him too hard, this is the closest person he is in the world. Han Zheng was even a little confused, in a trance, in this life, he actually had an illusory feeling.

At this time, Han Zheng couldn't know that his good brother Li Er was stunned, but at this time, he was feeling the most drastic changes of this era in the whirlpool of Nanjing.

Li Erzi inherited his grandfather's temperament, since he was forced to participate in the Wuchang Uprising, because of his bravery in the battle, dare to fight, and some of his commanders, they all thought that he was stupid and could reassure them, so he also became a deputy company commander smoothly, and at the same time temporarily acted as a company commander.

In this way, Li Erzi was regarded as a small officer in the revolutionary army, but Sun Wu still followed Ershuang and became a platoon commander under Erstu. After the victory of the Wuchang Uprising, the second stunned man was originally in Wuhan, and later when Shanghai was about to revolt, the second stunned man and some other people were sent to Shanghai, and now they have stayed in Shanghai and become the Shanghai army.

However, Li Erzi did not settle down, from the Wuchang Uprising to the present, no matter what, the provisional government can be regarded as established. On the fifth day after the establishment of the Provisional Revolutionary Government, the two stunned people received an order from their superiors to arrive in Nanjing, and as representatives of the Shanghai Army, they were ready to participate in the battle sequence under the Ministry of War formed in preparation for participating in the Northern Expedition.

Li Erzi has been in Nanjing for two days, at this time, the Northern Expeditionary Revolutionary Army from all over the southern provinces has also gathered in Nanjing, the power struggle between the big men and the surging dark tide, the second stunned man does not know, what he only knows now is that since he arrived in Nanjing, he has seen that soldiers in many places have made trouble several times for military salaries in the past few days.

In fact, Li Er was stunned to understand these soldiers who were making trouble, and it is not to blame them, since these soldiers participated in the revolution with enthusiasm to the present, they have always replaced military salaries with light recovery tickets, but as the revolutionary ranks become more and more complex, the light recovery tickets have now become a means for some people to obtain wealth, and the indiscriminate distribution of imagination has become rampant, and the light recovery tickets in the hands of the soldiers have not been paid a cent until now, and the military salary has not been issued for a month or two.

Among them, this time these soldiers came to Nanjing to ask for a part of the military salary, and followed the revolution with their heads, and now that the government has it, do they still owe the soldiers money for their lives? !

This has almost become the consensus of the soldiers in the provinces, and almost all the revolutionary armies in various places hope to get a part of the military salary and eat a few full meals. Otherwise, how would the Northern Expedition proceed?

Li Er was stunned, after all, he was from Shanghai, and when he came, the military salary was all real money, and he didn't issue the kind of recovery ticket that was rejected on the market.

Li Er had just finished attending the meeting of the battalion headquarters and returned from the battalion headquarters, and then asked the guards to call the various platoon commanders to prepare to inform them of the news they had received from the battalion headquarters.

After a while, the three platoon commanders came to the residence of the stunned man one after another.

"Company commander, is it time to pay the military again? Hurry up and send it down, let's go have a good meal, haha! "The three platoon commanders just arrived, and the first to speak was the third platoon commander, I don't know if it was due to the personality of the second stunned man, only Sun Wu usually spoke calmly and steadily, and the other two platoon commanders had a similar temperament to the second stunned son.

The third platoon commander is called Yang Fei, and he is also an old man in the revolutionary army, he joined the army after the recovery of Wuhan, and he subsequently participated in several wars, large and small, and then relied on himself to become a platoon commander in the second stunned army.

Zhou Liang, the leader of the second platoon, said that the situation was similar to that of the third platoon leader. Hearing the words of Yang Fei, the third platoon commander, Zhou Liang, the second platoon commander, said with the same feeling: "That's it, company commander, how long have we not had two drinks?" Thinking about it, the saliva is going to come down. ”

Li Er was stunned and grinned when he heard this, but waved his hand, and finally laughed and cursed.

Only Sun Wu stood silently over there, but the thoughts in the two eyes told the second stunned man how much he agreed with the words of the two of them, since he came to Nanjing, it was said that Nanjing was responsible for their military salaries, and Shanghai had suspended the military salaries of their part, but until now, everyone had not even received a single son. Not to mention the military salary, even the food is still brought when you come, and you have to eat to do the revolution, right?

Li Er was stunned and asked the three of them to sit down, and said angrily: "Do you want to pay?" I still want it! Look at the people outside, aren't they asking for military pay? The fuck is that no one gives it, by the way, do you want to have a light resumption, if you want it, the battalion headquarters said, give as much as you want. ”

Yang Fei rolled his eyes when he heard this, and suddenly lost his energy. It's not as good as a bowl of rice.

Zhou Liang saw that no one was talking, so he said weakly: "What kind of meeting did the company commander just have?" This is also true, our lives have been sold, don't you even give us a bowl of full food? Can't you leave some from the corner of their pocket? ”

"Don't complain, those things are their lives, we want their lives, can they give them? We're pretty good here, we brought some dry food when we came, you look at the ones over there, yes, it's those heroes from Sichuan, as well as some soldiers from Guangxi and Yunnan-Guizhou, I heard that they will run out of food soon. Let's stop talking about this uselessness and get down to business. ”

Li Er interrupted the other party's words in a daze, and said quite annoyedly, this is not annoyed Zhou Liang, but he is really angry with the current situation, thinking about the news he just got, he is even more angry and helpless.

When the three of them sat down, they were stunned and no longer hidden, and told the news they got from the battalion headquarters: "The battalion commander said just now that Minister Huang of the War Department began to think about disarmament because the Ministry of Finance could not come up with military spending. ”

"What? Disarmament??? Company commander, you're not kidding, this is not revolutionary, can the princes of the Tao still agree? Even if it is disarmed, will it not even be possible to rely on military spending? We have to pay the fare to go home. Sun Wu asked in surprise. Didn't you say a few years ago that when President Sun came, he brought millions of revolutionary military spending? At worst, it will not be to this step of disarmament. ”

"I'm in no mood to joke about this, I guess the news will spread to the troops in all provinces by tomorrow." The second stunned said, "Hey, I don't know what we should do, whether to go back or continue to wait for news, there is no letter on it." ”

After the news was spoken, even Yang Fei and Zhou Liang stopped talking, and lowered their heads worriedly and pondered.

After sending the three people away, the two stunned came to their camp tent by themselves, asked the soldiers to guard outside so as not to disturb them, and began to think about their own thoughts while lying on the bed.

Looking at the situation, as soon as the proposal for disarmament came out, it is estimated that the provincial armies will be in turmoil, and at this time, they were already hesitating on the issue of military salaries, which led to instability in the morale of the army, and now we do not know how the government wants to deal with this matter, and if we insist on disarmament again, if we do not do it well, it will cause a mutiny.

The second stunned thought about these things, and he saw them clearly, didn't those big people know? Or pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The ordinary soldiers in the revolutionary army in the provinces, who did not participate in the revolution with full of enthusiasm, did not want their own lives for the sake of the revolution, but now it is good, the revolution has succeeded, but on the contrary, these revolutionary hot-blooded soldiers can't eat, is this still called a revolution? Those little people who pretend to be worried all day long but are insatiable have risen to high positions, and they can not disappoint, it seems that this is the government's own foundation.

As for Sun Wu's statement of millions of military spending, Li Erzi also heard some time ago that President Sun Yat-sen brought millions of revolutionary military expenses when he returned to China, and later confirmed it from a person named Situ Guo.

But the strange thing is that after this batch of military spending reached the Ministry of Finance, there was no sound, as if it had disappeared, and it was said that they were all dollars. Actually, who is a little well-informed doesn't know how the money disappeared, look at those officials in the Ministry of Finance who are hungry? It's not that all of them are well-fed and warm-dressed, and all of them are full of brains, but the appearance of these people this time is inevitably too ugly......

Two days ago, a reporter asked about this sensitive topic, asking President Sun about the revolutionary military expenditure, Sun Yat-sen could not, he could only diverge and say that he only brought a patriotic heart, and never mentioned the matter of this revolutionary funding, the Republic of China was created in a hurry, and the foundation was unstable, he really did not know what the consequences would be if such a scandal was exposed, but as everyone knows, this has almost become a secret in Nanjing.

Hey, I don't know what kind of mess will happen tomorrow, whether it's unloading the mill and killing the donkey or what, I can only live one day at a time. I don't know who can really think about these ordinary soldiers.

Of course, if you really can't hold on, you can go back, do nothing here all day, listen to those well-dressed people say this and that, and perform some annoying sensational dramas there, which is really boring.

Moreover, this time the provisional government ordered all the ministries to concentrate here, but the barracks were in short supply of padded jackets and thick quilts, and most importantly, it was so desolate that there was no way to even carry out training normally, and even part of the army was almost living in a refugee camp. It's not that he lives in a western-style building, drinks foreign wine, and speaks impassionedly and stinking things there.

No one knows what kind of face this government of the Republic of China, which has accumulated the blood and tears of countless hot-blooded youths, will continue to go on and how long it can last? Moreover, there is also a huge military force group in Beiyang in the north.

Li Er's thoughts were a little confused, thinking about Beiyang, he thought of his brothers, I don't know if they are good in Beiyang, I hope that it will be good for the swords to meet at that time. I don't know when the previous captain Han came, he has been gone for two years, if he has the opportunity, if he hears his news, he won't do it here, and he will find the captain himself, and he will feel tired of watching such a thing.

He didn't know that he was sighing here, in fact, Han Zheng had already returned to China, and if he stayed in Shanghai for a while, he probably wouldn't miss it.

Therefore, Han Zheng and Er Stunned would never have thought that they had already missed an opportunity to meet......

At the same time, in the presidential palace at this time, Sun Yat-sen was also thinking about countermeasures with a frown, and naturally he couldn't know what a soldier named Erzhuzi was thinking. Foreign governments are always dragging their feet on the aftermath of borrowing, and many things cannot be done because they don't have the money. How could he want to negotiate peace with Yuan Shikai, but he couldn't do anything without money. There is only a compromise. As for the disappearance of the revolutionary funds that caused me embarrassment a while ago, even if I knew what I could do, I just had to be patient.
