Chapter 68: The Chengdu Bloody Case

Zhang Renjun sat in the study, in just three months, he was only in his 60s, but now he looks as if he is in his 70s...

Today's Sichuan is like an oil pot, and the people of central Sichuan are even more angry, not only because of the "state-owned railway", but also because Zhang Renjun obeyed the will of the imperial court some time ago and deceived Pu Dianjun and other heads of the constitutionalist into prison...

A few subordinates walked quietly outside the study, although they did not leave the governor's palace, but they also knew the current situation, so they didn't even dare to make too much noise when they were cleaning.

Just as the entire Doge's Mansion fell into an eerie silence, suddenly there was a very rapid sound of footsteps.

"Who?" A few cautious subordinates looked in the direction where the voice came, wanting to see who was so bold as to make such a loud noise at this time.

But after a while, they lowered their heads again, because it was one of Zhang Renjun's closest staff.

"My lord...", a middle-aged man in a horse coat walked into the study and saluted Zhang Renjun.

Hearing the voice, Zhang Renjun, who opened his eyes, glanced at it, and then said slowly. "It turned out to be Runqing..."

Looking at Zhang Renjun's face, which was older than before, Zhang Runqing even turned red with eye circles.

During this time, the pressure on Zhang Renjun's body, no one knows better than Zhang Runqing, and now the imperial court is sending electricity every day to let Zhang Renjun suppress the people below, and Zhang Renjun was severely reprimanded by the imperial court every time he argued, and finally had to trick Pu Dianjun and others into prison, and now...

What he brought to him was definitely not good news...

Looking at Zhang Runqing's face, Zhang Renjun seemed to have some premonition, so he smiled. "Tell me if there's any bad news..."

Zhang Runqing wiped the corners of his eyes. "My lord, the imperial court sent a telegram again this time, saying that it was for us to order a crackdown, otherwise..."

"How about that?" Zhang Renjun seemed to see everything open.

"Otherwise..."Zhang Runqing didn't say it for a long time, and finally didn't say it.

"Alas..."Zhang Renjun sighed, and then trembled and wanted to stand up, but Zhang Renjun on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"The railway was originally owned by the people, but now they just want to take it away from the people with an official document..."Zhang Renjun shook his head. If I order a crackdown, I'm afraid all that will be left in history is stigma..."

"Your Excellency!" Zhang Runqing shouted. "In that case, then let's resign and not do it, now that the Qing Dynasty is about to die, the adults can't be loyal to this last dynasty!" As he spoke, he knelt beside Zhang Renjun's lap, Zhang Runqing was an orphan adopted by Zhang Renjun when he was serving in the local government, and he would also teach carefully in his spare time after official duties. For Zhang Runqing, Zhang Renjun is like a master and a father, and he really can't look down on the torture that Zhang Renjun is suffering now.

Hearing Zhang Runqing say that the Qing Dynasty was about to die, Zhang Renjun wanted to scold him angrily, but looking at Zhang Runqing, who was almost 40 years old, he had tears on his face, and he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth...

Although Zhang Renjun is not as capable as Zhao Erfeng, he is also a person who has walked from the right path to the position of governor, how can he not see that the Qing Dynasty is already in the twilight of the West Mountain, that is, even the "imperial cabinet" and "railway state-owned" such stupid tricks can come out. It's just that he has been a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty all his life, and at this time, let him leave behind what he has been loyal to all his life...

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.

Hearing the commotion, Zhang Renjun frowned, and then wanted to angrily scold the subordinates outside, but then he reacted that the noise outside was definitely not something that the subordinates could make.

Sure enough, after a while, a subordinate ran in in a panic. "Master, there is a large group of people outside storming the mansion!"

"The people stormed the government, or the governor's palace?" Zhang Renjun smiled bitterly, and then said in his heart. "I've never heard of this kind of thing, maybe it's really the same as what Runqing said, this Daqing is really going to die..."

But he understood that the people outside were here for Pu Dianjun and the others in the prison.

So Zhang Renjun said to him. "You immediately go to the patrol battalion and mobilize soldiers to guard the governor's palace." Then he hesitated, but gritted his teeth. "Tell the bands of the patrol battalion that if the people do not listen to the advice and insist on not retreating, they will ...... Shoot!!! ”

"Yes!" Although he was also taken aback by Zhang Renjun's words, the subordinate still received the task and left the Governor's Mansion over the wall.

"Your Excellency!" Zhang Runqing was taken aback when he heard Zhang Renjun's words, in this way, Zhang Renjun walked into a dead end, if the Qing Dynasty can indeed maintain until Zhang Renjun's death, it is good to say, if not...

And in the future history books, I am afraid that the reputation of the executioner will also be left!

Zhang Renjun smiled bitterly. "Just let me, an old man, be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, no, maybe my order may instead make the Qing Dynasty fall into the abyss..."Then Zhang Renjun looked at Zhang Runqing. You go to the tent to get 5,000 taels, and then leave Chengdu with your wife and children, no, leave Sichuan, I think it won't be long before something big happens here. ”

"Adult !!"

However, this time, Zhang Renjun just waved his hand.

Looking at Zhang Renjun's appearance, Zhang Runqing, who had been by his side since he was a child, knew that he was iron-hearted, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and leave the study.

Looking at Zhang Runqing's departing back, Zhang Renjun sat on the steps and sighed as he looked at the sun in the sky.

It didn't take long for a gunshot to suddenly sound outside the governor's palace, and then the gunshots sounded like fried beans, and screams and screams continued to be heard outside.

"I thought it would be cleaner in Sichuan, but I didn't expect that this was bad luck...", obviously it was the weather in September, Zhang Renjun didn't know why but felt a chill.

――――――――――

On September 7, 1911, Zhang Renjun, the governor of Sichuan, arrested Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun, Yan Kai, Zhang Lan, Deng Xiaoke and others, and closed the railway company and the comrades' association. Tens of thousands of people in Chengdu rushed to the governor's yamen to petition for the release of those arrested. But in the end, under the anger of the crowd, it stormed the governor's yamen...

The soldiers of the patrol battalion in charge of the guard opened fire and suppressed it, shooting and killing more than 30 people on the spot, wounding nearly 100 people, creating the so-called "Chengdu Bloody Case".

On the same day, the members of the alliance made "water and electricity telegraphs" out of wood chips and threw them into the Jinjiang River to spread the police. The comrade army with peasants as the main body in more than ten prefectures and counties near Chengdu, led by the members of the alliance and the leaders of the elders' association, Qin Zaigeng, Long Mingjian, Hou Baozhai, Zhang Jiexian, Zhang Dasan and others, besieged the provincial capital on all sides...
