On February 24, 1925, in the 14th year of the Republic of China, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Republic of China, died at No. 5 Tieshi Hutong, Dongcheng, Beiping.

Sun Yat-sen was born in a poor family and studied in Honolulu in his early years. In 1905, the China League was established. After the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, he was elected as the provisional president of the Republic of China. After more than 10 years of ups and downs, at the invitation of Feng Yuxiang, he went to Beiping to discuss the country, and unfortunately passed away.

With his influence, this death immediately shook the world and abroad. In addition to the grief of the whole country, the military and political dignitaries of all sides sent messages of condolence frequently, as if everyone wanted to express their grief at this time, and even the people in front of him, who were at odds with him, also sent lengthy messages of condolence that were carefully considered word by word.

"Ms. Song Qingling: When the bad news came, the southwest shook. The prime minister has served the people and the public all his life, and he has been prudent and conscientious as the supervision of the eastern defense of northern Yunnan, and he has specially led thousands of fathers and elders in northern Yunnan to weep and save ......"

Zhang Shusheng slowly read out a message of condolence, and the simple dozens of words also made him think about it, and finally confirmed it before signaling that Mao Yun could go to generate electricity first.

Sun Yat-sen was supposed to die of illness on March 12, 1925, but now it was more than half a month ahead of schedule. This also made Zhang Shusheng feel that he had indeed changed many things, some of which were changed, and some of which may never appear.

He didn't have much to say about Sun Yat-sen. History has always prepared a lot of positions for the heroes, and those who set foot in this position should take their responsibilities. His evaluation of Sun Yat-sen in the condolence telegram was also a more pertinent sentence for the public and the people. As a ruler, there will be good and bad, but he is also a historical passerby, rather than to evaluate Sun Yat-sen's merits and demerits, it is better to leave it to future generations as a conversation after dinner.

He picked up a specially encrypted direct phone on his desk, and directly called Zhao Ziyun, deputy director of the Special Intelligence Department of the militia regiment, and Han Weidong, colonel director of the highest war room of the militia regiment, and handed over the written combat orders to the two of them.

"Zhao Ziyun, the plan to reverse the Tang Dynasty has officially begun!"

"Ordered the General Staff to immediately start the battle plan for Tang Jiyao. Three days later, the first shot against the Tang Dynasty must be fired in the direction of Xundian!! ”

"Yes!!"

"Yes!!"

Staff Department, Jiang Baili, who got the order, immediately picked up the red phone on the table, "I am Jiang Baili, the district commander has issued a combat order, and the battle plan for Tang Jiyao will be activated immediately." All sections immediately began to work on troop liaison. ”

Xundian, Xuanwei, Guangxi, one after another radio waves crossed the distance of 1,000 miles in just an instant, and sent a special encrypted military order to the military commanders of various combat units.

"Report!!" A telegraph staff officer took the special encrypted telegram from the telegraph worker's hand, just glanced at the classified level at the beginning, and immediately ran to the Second Brigade Operations Center next to it.

"Read!!" Chen Jun took a deep breath, and finally waited for this big battle, after this battle, the militia group will have no opponent in the southwest.

"Zhang Shusheng, the head of the militia headquarters, ordered: The battle plan against Tang Jiyao was immediately launched."

Chen Jun slapped the table with a slap, and the military map on it jumped slightly, "Someone, order the commanders of each regiment, the instructors, the commanders of the artillery battalions, and the commanders of the armored battalions to come to the brigade headquarters immediately." ”

In just two minutes, all the dozen or so grassroots commanders of the Second Brigade arrived at the war room of the brigade headquarters.

"Now read out the issue issued by the headquarters of the militia about Tang Jiyao's collaboration with the enemy and the operational order of the militia against Tang Jiyao's troops!!"

Chen Wenqing, chief of staff of the Second Brigade, took out the announcement document on Tang Jiyao's traitorous incident and the corresponding specific operational orders for Tang Jiyao's troops, and read them out on the spot; for the sake of secrecy, the Second Brigade, as the main force, knew in advance about Tang Jiyao's betrayal of the country and the specific battle plan, and there were only three people: brigade commander Chen Jun, instructor Ye Yulong, and chief of staff Chen Wenqing.

At this time, Sun Yat-sen had just passed away for more than a day, and although the militia did not have much grief, they still felt a sense of kinship. At the time of the death of such a figure who had a profound impact on China, the headquarters of the militia suddenly issued a notice on Tang Jiyao's traitorous incident and deployed corresponding military operations.

"Got it!! Tang Jiyao's traitorous incident will be unanimously condemned by the Chinese people throughout China and even the world. As a citizen of the Han Dynasty, he sold his national rights and interests to the Japanese people, which is really indignant to people and gods!! Instructor Ye, Tang Jiyao's traitorous incident must be notified to the entire army of the Second Brigade as soon as possible, unify their thinking and understanding, and make good preparations for the crusade.

Three days after this combat operation, the 2nd Brigade will assault Kunming as a fist force. After Chen Wenqing finished reading the battle order, Chen Jun looked around at everyone, knocked on the table, briefly talked about this incident, and then walked to the sand table, everyone followed, and then said: "Between Xundian and Kunming, there is only one Songming County. According to the information sent back by the reconnaissance troops, Tang Jiyao's troops, with the help of Yue himself, stationed an integrated division in Songming County, and stationed a regiment in the area of Zhaobi Mountain outside the county seat......

Early in the morning of the next day ————————————, at Tang Jiyao's house in Kunming, Okamura Ningji, who was dressed in a Chinese [***] uniform, was taking Miyai Nagao to discuss the training of the troops with Tang Jiyao. Although he did not directly send troops into the southwest, he sent a large number of instructors and staff officers, surveying and mapping and command personnel, such as Taro Anomiya, who was directly dispatched from the active forces in his own country.

“…… The Overseers are reassured that Mr. Sun's death is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Okamura Ninji said inscrutablely.

Tang Jiyao can't compare to this old fox after all, in his opinion, Sun Yat-sen is afraid that the country will be even more chaotic once he dies. But how did he know that Okamura Ningji, an evil animal, hoped that Huaxia would be more chaotic. "What do you mean by Mr. Okamura?"

"As soon as Mr. Sun died, whether it was Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Zuolin and others, or other warlords, all of them were difficult to convince the public. China's political situation is bound to fall into a quagmire. Although Okamura Ninji tried his best to hide his sinister smile, the filthy slightly twitching mustache on his mouth betrayed him, "The political situation is chaotic, all parties are moving together, who can win the Central Plains?" Of course, the one with the largest fist, the most troops, and the best equipment. Of course, the premise is that we ensure that the cooperation between us can be maintained beautifully. ”

"Lord Governor, Mr. Okamura and I are here today to congratulate you." Miyai Nagao echoed with a meaningful smile.

"I see, Mr. Okamura is saying that once the prime minister goes, there will be no leader in the country, and naturally the strong and strong people can take advantage of the chaos to rise, it seems that it is really my opportunity to Yunnan!" Tang Jiyao is not a mediocre person, and he understood the truth in an instant, and the two people in front of him not only came to make a stand, but also wanted to push themselves towards a higher power center. "Hahaha...... Mr. Okamura has been overthinking, hasn't the cooperation between us always been beautiful? It is said that it is a win-win situation, and it is also gratifying. I, Tang Jiyao, also graduated from your country's non-commissioned officer military academy in my early years, am I a child with no ambitions? If one day I can win the Central Plains, I will definitely ......"

"Father, something is wrong!!

There was a rush of running, and Tang Xiaobei's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, interrupting Tang Jiyao's far-sighted speech, which made him very displeased, "Bei'er, what's going on." ”

Tang Xiaobei pushed the door in, and didn't even care about Okamura Ningji, who was sitting on the top seat, and said breathlessly: "Father, father, Zhang Shusheng of Dongchuan District has electricity all over the world, and he said, said ......."

"What did he say!!" Tang Jiyao suddenly had a feeling of death, Huo Ran stood up and asked.

Zhang Shusheng telegraphed the world, saying that his father had signed 13 articles of betrayal with him. The telegram even listed in detail the main contents of the thirteen treaties, as well as the names of two friends, Okamura-kun and Miyai-kun. Tang Xiaobei finished speaking in one breath, and the whole person staggered into the chair next to him.

"It's over, it's all over......" Tang Jiyao is like a person who is dozens of years old, forty, fifty or forty years old, but like a dying person, he fell back in his chair, but the sad thing is that he didn't faint this time, the terrible consequences of leaking secrets made him not even dare to think about death, let alone faint to escape......

"Overseer, now that the matter has come to this, it is better to think of a countermeasure." At first glance, Okamura Ninji was not too surprised at first, saying that this instructor entered the Dian army, which in itself was difficult to achieve absolute secrecy. But in an instant, his face changed wildly, as embarrassing as a swollen pig's liver, Zhang Shusheng is really not a simple person, he knows that this incident is not to mention, he can even say the content of the thirteen articles, you know, this matter is absolutely confidential.

Half an hour later, after Tang Xiaobei pinched the middle of the person twice, Tang Jiyao finally recovered his spirits, and he didn't care who was responsible, so he hurriedly asked Okamura Ningji how to come: "Okamura-kun, how is it now?" ”

"The Great Empire has a plan for a long time. Zhang Shusheng's move was too vicious. Now the only way to do this is to launch the Yunnan-Guizhou-Guizhou Campaign as soon as possible and speak by force. You Chinese have a saying, become a king and defeat a coward. Since Sun Yat-sen is dead, let Mr. Tang, who has the biggest fist, decide China's right to speak!! Okamura Ninji said categorically.

"That's all there is to it......" Tang Jiyao muttered.

Although the steps were disrupted, Okamura Ningci, who originally wanted to wait until this year to launch the Yunnan-Guizhou-Guizhou Campaign, calmed down instead, and couldn't help but reassure, "Don't worry, the Great Empire is your most loyal friend, as long as there is the Great Empire, Zhang Shusheng is not a ......."

"Report!! Emergency!! ”

A staff officer hurriedly walked in, looking very bad, and carrying a large bag containing dozens of telegrams.

"Read, read it all to Lao Tzu." Although he had already been hit hard, Tang Jiyao was still in a bad mood and scolded loudly.

The staff officer was stunned for a moment, and read ruthlessly: "Songming County is in an emergency, at 6 o'clock this morning, Zhang Shusheng's department stationed in Xundian suddenly launched a fierce attack on the sixth division of our reorganization stationed in Songming.

At 6:10 a.m. this morning, Zhang Shusheng's troops launched a fierce attack on Guizhou Province in the direction of Liupanshui and Liping County at the junction of Guizhou and Guizhou...... In addition, there were 78 telegrams, special telegrams, power supplies, and foreign telegrams throughout the country, all of which denounced the Overseers for colluding with me, signing 13 secret agreements, and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country......"

"Father, father...... Come on, come on, come on......"

Tang Xiaobei and the others, who were stunned, suddenly saw Tang Jiyao, who was leaning forward, slamming to the ground like a falling rock.

————————“…… Tang Jiyao, as the head of the military and government of one side, disregarded the law of the country and the nation, signed 13 secret treaties for betraying the country, and vainly tried to collude with others on the basis of national interests, national interests, and people's interests...... As the supervisor of the Eastern Defense Department of Northern Yunnan, he is willing to do his best to defend the nation, maintain the national prestige, safeguard the people's rights, and safeguard the righteousness of Sanming, so as to inform the prime minister in the ,......spirit of the sky."

“…… At the junction of Yunnan and Guangxi, what Tang Jiyao has done is scolded by the whole world, and hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters hate each other. Tens of millions of sons in Guangxi are willing to follow the example of Zhang Gong and swear to fight against Tang ......"

…… Sun Yat-sen, who had just passed away four days after his death, suddenly broke out such a shocking traitorous scandal, not only enumerating in detail Tang Jiyao's traitorous incident, but even publishing a series of ironclad evidence by telegram; in less than half a day, major newspapers and offices even published so-called "reporting materials from insiders" one after another, scrambling to expose Tang Jiyao's traitorous incident.

Suddenly, the north and south of the river fell into a state of confusion when they were furious. Tang Jiyao actually betrayed the country? How dare he betray the country? The prime minister had just died, and he dared to betray the country.

It was like a lit match thrown into a powder keg, and the people's anger in the whole of China exploded in an instant, and huge anti-Tang demonstrations broke out in major cities in the east, west, north and south.

Whether it is Guangzhou, or Shanghai, Beiping, Wuhan three towns, or Chengdu, Yucheng, Lanzhou...... All cities, almost at the same time, broke out in shocking anti-Tang demonstrations. Workers' strikes, student strikes, merchants' strikes, and all kinds of anti-Tang actions were like dominoes that were toppled one by one, from east to west, from south to north, and they happened in an instant.

Two days ago, the newspapers were talking about the so-called prime minister's legacy, and now such a bad incident has occurred. This time, it was even worse than Yuan Shikai's betrayal of the country, and the anti-Tang momentum was even stronger than when Yuan Shikai betrayed the country and became emperor.

Not only the people, but also the military and political dignitaries from all over the country reacted overwhelmingly after being stunned for a moment, and they followed the footsteps of northern Yunnan and Guangxi, claiming that they would oppose the Tang Dynasty by force!!

This time, the anti-Tang voice was unprecedentedly neat, and even Zhang Zuolin, who cooperated deeply with Yue himself, also issued an anti-Tang telegram...... Overseas voices are not weak at all, not only overseas Chinese, but even European and American countries have also sent foreign telegrams, severely condemning the "illegal and opaque cooperation" between Tang Jiyao and himself. ”

The situation was a mess, as soon as Sun Yat-sen's funeral action in Beiping began, the whole country fell into a huge anger after great grief, and no one could stand up to clean up the situation, Tang Jiyao seemed to have reached a dead end.

The whole nation voiced the same voice: "Down with the traitors......"
