The atmosphere inside the hall was depressing, and it was originally a Western-style hall with a sparse and spacious slope. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows are clean and bright, and the garden outside is also full of flowers, coupled with an exquisite wine banquet, this scene seems to be a very elegant thing to drink and enjoy the flowers. It's just that the people in this room are all in a panic, like mourning, as if they are about to be in trouble! You must know that the people in this room are all well-known local snakes in Fujian, who doesn't have a gun of three or four thousand people in their hands, and what kind of brigade commander or regiment commander does the dominant party call themselves? Now they are gathered in this small town in Youxi Mountain, borrowing wine to drown their sorrows, and they are at a loss.

Lu Xingbang is the owner of this garden house in a small mountain town, and the leaders of the Fujian People's Army are his guests. Originally, I wanted to invite everyone to Youxi to discuss supporting Generalissimo Sun's army into Fujian, but I didn't expect Sun Yat-sen to ignore the kindness of the leaders of the Fujian People's Army, and there were rumors that Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing had reached a non-aggression agreement and would no longer care about the lives of Fujianese!

Now they, the snakes of Fujian, really have a sense of precariousness. It turns out that the Beiyang Army in Fujian has been reorganized into two divisions of the Fujian Army by Chang Ruiqing in the past two months! There are also some soft local people's army leaders have also defected to Chang Ruiqing and have been incorporated into the Third Division of the Fujian Army, and at present, Chang Ruiqing has more than 40,000 guns in his hands.

Moreover, this Chang Da Governor also brazenly broke the balance between the local forces in Fujian and the Beiyang forces, and prepared with great fanfare to put the local grassroots political power that was originally in a state of autonomy under his control. In this way, it will be tantamount to cutting off the source of food and pay for the armed forces in these places! At that time, I am afraid that there will only be two paths in front of the big guys: scattering and retreating or falling into the grass.

As for raising troops to resist, people with a little military knowledge know that they have no chance of winning at all, and their people's army is just a rabble with poor pay and no fighting spirit, and if it were not for Sun Yat-sen's Cantonese army as a backer, it would be impossible to start a war with Chang Ruiqing's regular army. However, these leaders of the people's army, who had already tasted the taste of dominating one side, were unwilling to disband their ranks, and since then they have become rich and powerless, not to mention that most of them are not rich at all...... If the family really has a lot of money, who would do this business with their head pinned to the waistband of their trousers?

Member of the Chinese Revolutionary Party. Originally, Wang Rongguang, the leader of the People's Army in the Nan'an area, had the most gloomy face among these people present.

In the past two months, he traveled between Xiamen and Youxi Mountain, wanting to contact the Guangdong army Jiang J Shi Department there to send troops to "aid Fujian". However, although the man surnamed Jiang was good at eating, drinking, and entertaining him, he gave him a handwritten letter when he came. said that he had an old relationship with Chang Ruiqing's staff Jin Yongyan, and let him take refuge, there was always a half-official ......

He snorted coldly and slapped the table: "I'll go to Guangzhou." Go to Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun must have been deceived by the person surnamed Jiang in Xiamen! ”

Hearing what he said, it turned out that the county magistrate of Shaxian County, a gentleman surnamed Pan, sneered: "What do you still expect Sun Cannon?" Now Sun Cannon has long colluded with the surname Chang and sold all our Fujian people! The newly appointed county magistrate in Shaxian is Brother Wang's comrade in the revolutionary party...... There are also rumors. Song Yuanyuan, who participated in the murder of Li Dujun, is now also in Fuzhou, and he is also Chang Ruiqing's senior adviser! Brother Wang seems to have a good relationship with that Song Yuanyuan, right? It's better to take refuge in the past, and maybe you can get a job as a county magistrate! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the room changed, most of the people here were not from the revolutionary party, and they had long been suspicious of the "inaction" of the revolutionary party.

Wang Rongguang smiled bitterly: "Mr. Pan, tell you the truth." When I met Jiang J Shi in Xiamen. The other party gave a letter of recommendation, asking my brother to go to Jin Yongyan, coupled with Mr. Song's doorway, I want to take refuge in Chang Ruiqing, and I can really have a future as a county magistrate! But why don't I go? Isn't it because my brothers are used to eating habits? I'm going to be an official, what should I do brothers? Do you all go home and drink the northwest wind? I think most of you think the same thing I do, right? If you are willing to leave your brothers behind, who has no way to find an official position in the surname Chang? But if we let the surnamed Chang raise our brothers together. Everyone knows it's impossible! ”

His heart-wrenching words made everyone present nod silently. Only that Pan Dahao gentleman sighed, raised his wine glass and touched it with Wang Rongguang. He leaned his neck and did it all, and then sighed bitterly with the strength of the wine: "It's the elder brother who misunderstood Brother Wang, to tell the truth, the elder brother is actually envious of those revolutionary parties who have a way to join Chang Ruiqing!"

As soon as Chang Ruiqing took control of Fuzhou, the elder brother went to worship with a generous gift! As a result, people accepted gifts and said a bunch of good things, I thought it was peace of mind, but in the end I waited for a dismissal order! If I go to Fuzhou with a generous gift, I won't even be able to enter the gate of the Governor's Office! I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, I'm going to Fuzhou with my second daughter this time, as long as Chang Ruiqing is willing to accept her as a small, I'm willing to post money! But...... People don't even give you a face! ”

Lu Xingbang looked at this old tearful guy, and there was a sneer in his heart. This old guy is still a person in the previous dynasty, and his family is also known as a poetry heirloom, and he did not hesitate to let his daughter go to others to be small for the errand of a county magistrate! As a result, people still don't want it, and now they are cheeky to say it, and they are not afraid that his daughter will not be able to marry...... You must be drunk!

At this time, the cheeky gentleman continued: "But this trip to Fuzhou is not completely fruitless, although I didn't find a way out from Chang Ruiqing, but I took the line of Sa Dinggong!" ”

Hearing this, the whole room straightened up, looking quite interested. Lu Xingbang opened his mouth and asked, "Could it be that the old brother is now the old Taishan of the Duke of Sa Ding?" ”

The gentleman surnamed Pan waved his hand and sighed: "How can I have that blessing...... In fact, I didn't see Ding Gong himself, but I was fortunate to meet Ding Gong's henchman Yang Lizhong, who was arrested by Jiang Jshi's soldiers in the Battle of Xiamen a while ago, and was imprisoned for more than two months and just released. Now he is the captain of the Dinggong Overseer's Guard, and he was the one who came forward to receive him that day. Listening to his tone, it seems that Sa Ding Gong and Governor Wang Kaigong are also very dissatisfied with Chang Ruiqing's arbitrariness! ”

"So what?" Wang Rongguang snorted coldly: "That Chang Ruiqing is Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng's people, what can Sa Zhenbing do with him?" ”

Pan Dahao shook his head and said faintly: "Behind Sa Dinggong is the entire Fujian Navy...... If the gentry and people of Fujian Province are on the side of his old man, and our Fujian celebrities and high-ranking officials in Beijing advocate it, can he Chang Ruiqing's Fujian supervision still be able to do it? ”

"Pan Lao means ......" Lu Xingbang's eyes flickered. It's as if I've seen some hope.

Pan Dahao Shen drank another big sip of liquor, and continued to analyze the desperate local snakes with this little wine: "Now we want to use the power of Guangdong to expel Chang Ruiqing. That's impossible. He has three divisions and 50,000 troops in his hands, and Sun Yat-sen and Lu Rongting are now busy aiding Hunan and dare not provoke him again no matter what...... But what does Beiyang think of him, a 'rising star'? If he really worked hard for Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng, it would be fine, but what he did in Fujian was clearly an independent kingdom! And also with Lu Yongxiang in Shanghai and He Fenglin in Zhejiang!

Although now Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng don't say anything on the surface. However, I must have distrusted him in my heart, if there can be any abnormal trend in Fujian, coupled with the propaganda of Fujian celebrities and navy figures in Beijing, it is very likely that they will excuse themselves to conform to public opinion and dismiss Chang Ruiqing's Fujian military affairs supervision! ”

With these words, these Fujian's local snakes all had their faces lit up. No matter what China says at the moment, it is the Republic of China, and no matter what the forces do, they must use the guise of public opinion, and even Yuan Shikai wants to be the emperor to engage in a civic group to march and petition! This time, if there is a protest against Chang Ruiqing in Fujian and Beijing, it may really have an unexpected effect.

This Pan Dahao gentleman's voice was low, but his attitude was resolute: "Let's go back and contact the gentry from all over the country, so that everyone can have money to contribute and someone to pay." Then the soldiers divided into two routes, all the way to form a petition group of Fujian citizens to go to Beijing to petition the central government. It is called for respect for the right of the Min people to self-government. Oppose Chang Ruiqing's military dictatorship! All the way into the provincial capital, marched on the streets to protest, and openly waved the banner of driving normalcy...... As long as Chang Ruiqing dares to send troops to suppress it, then our normal reasons will be even more sufficient!

At that time, our Fujian celebrities and gentry in Beijing will also run around to stand up for us, and the newspapers in Beijing and Tianjin will also go to the event. We must go all out to win the support of public opinion. You must do everything you can to make things bigger, but the normal trend is rising. We've got a way out! Even if there is no way to get rid of Chang Ruiqing in the end, we can still talk to him about the conditions. Ask him to recognize the right of self-government of the counties! ”

After listening to Pan Dahaoshen's strategy, the snakes in the room exchanged glances frequently. Who would have believed that a county magistrate who had been dismissed from his post would have so much money in his belly? It's clear that there are people behind this! Either Sa Zhenbing or Wang Qi, or even the two sides joined forces to make Chang Ruiqing unable to come to power...... With such a backstage, this exorcism campaign is worth a try!

Lu Xingbang gritted his teeth and slapped the table decisively: "Okay!" As Mr. Pan said! There are many leaders of the people's army, gentry and celebrities from all over the country here in Youxi, and tonight we will convene everyone to have a heroic meeting here to discuss Mr. Pan's construction. In my opinion, it's probably the only way we can do it! Isn't it the Republic of China right now? Let the people of the Republic of China come forward to oppose his military dictatorship of Chang Ruiqing! ”

His words fell, and the first vote of the land snakes immediately echoed loudly, and the atmosphere in the hall was completely high.

However, at this time, no one noticed the disdainful smile on the corner of the mouth of the Pan Dahao gentleman who proposed to build yì. A bunch of uninformed buns don't want to think about what the current situation in China is? Great War of the North! Who in Beijing cares about Chang Ruiqing's military dictatorship in Fujian? How could Duan Qirui move Chang Ruiqing when the north and south were victorious and unscored? Jumping out now, apart from exposing himself to Chang Ruiqing's nose and allowing his new master to find the target, can he do anything else?

With such a credit, how can Superintendent Chang reward himself well, right? What do you want? Thinking of this, a trace of eagerness flashed on Pan Dahaoshen's face. Or let the second girl go to Chang Supervisor to be his aunt's wife. It seems that Governor Chang doesn't have a son and a half daughter now! The fortune teller can say that his daughter is a son who can give birth to a son......

……

Wu Shi walked quickly into the corridor in front of Chang Ruiqing's office in the Fujian Military Affairs Supervision Office. This No. 2 person in the Chang Ruiqing group is now the commander of the Third Division of the Fujian Army, which has a complex composition, and his main job is to do "united front work" for local forces in Fujian in addition to leading troops. Today, the "deputy commander" seemed to have a layer of frost on his face, and his footsteps hit the ground heavily, as if he was enraged by something.

Yu Liu stood at the door of Chang Ruiqing's office, saw Wu Shi coming in, and immediately stood up and saluted him: "Duke Yu, the superintendent is now in the back garden." Zhenghe ...... Miss Pan is talking about something, why don't you go there and find him. ”

Wu Shi frowned, turned around and was about to pass, but suddenly turned around and asked, "What is the origin of this Miss Pan?" Yu Liu smiled bitterly: "It's the second lady of Pan Yucheng, the former county magistrate of Sha County." ”

Wu Shi snorted lightly: "No wonder! It turned out to be a member of the Pan family in Shaxian County...... and then strode towards the back garden of the Governor's Office.

This time. Chang Ruiqing was walking and chatting with a beautiful girl dressed as a schoolgirl. This girl's name is Pan Xiaoqian, she is only 17 years old this year, she is a student of Fujian Provincial Girls' High School, and her father is the largest landowner in Shaxian County. He is also the former magistrate of Shaxian County. However, the relationship between this girl and Chang Ruiqing is not what outsiders imagine, in fact, she is a female revolutionary secretly developed by the Red Brigade!

By the way, in the past few months, Meng Li has focused on recruiting students to join the Red Brigade, and has established secret branches of the Red Brigade in many universities and middle schools in Shanghai and Fuzhou.

When Wu Shi walked over. Chang Ruiqing was eloquently explaining the matter to the female revolutionary Pan Xiaoqian: "Sue Mr. Pan, thanks to him this time, we will not forget his credit...... However, You Xi must be keeping an eye on it, when those people will enter Fuzhou, who will answer in Fuzhou City, and where they will live after entering the city, they must find out and report to me in time. ”

"yes, got it." The little girl lowered her head. Although there was still a trace of confusion in his eyes. But it was quickly covered up.

In fact, she didn't know that the person in front of her was her idol - Zuo Min, the great leader of the Red Brigade! Her job as an intermediary between her father, Pan Yucheng and Chang Ruiqing, was only an organizational arrangement. As for why the organization helped this Changda warlord deal with the local gentry in Fujian, she also couldn't figure it out. Maybe the organization wanted her to get close to Chang Ruiqing and find an opportunity to break into the enemy's interior? I don't know if I want to dedicate myself to the revolutionary cause? If you want to give...... Fortunately, this enemy is quite handsome!

Chang Ruiqing naturally didn't know what was going on in this little girl's heart, although the girl was quite smart, but it was not the type he liked. When he had finished explaining what had happened, he looked up. Seeing Wu Shizheng walking quickly, he ordered Pan Xiaoqian to leave.

Looking at the girl's petite and weak back. Wu Shi sighed softly in his heart, and also suppressed his exhortation...... It's not wrong to like beautiful women. As long as he can distinguish between business and private affairs. He walked up to Chang Ruiqing and gave a standard military salute. Chang Ruiqing also returned the salute lightly, and asked, "How is the matter of the model group?" ”

Wu Shi handed Chang Ruiqing a list that had been drawn up a long time ago: "There are a total of 1,822 people, all of whom are the children of the gentry from various counties in Fujian who have taken refuge in us, and more than 200 people have been admitted to the army martial arts hall and have already started classes. More than 2,000 people came from more than 1,700 people, and some of them the gentry sent more than two of their children to us, which has been specially noted on the list. ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "There are really a lot of people who know the current affairs, hehe." Wu Shi's expression remained unchanged, and he was still reporting to Chang Ruiqing: "Some of the gentry who have taken refuge in us have also reported that there are now a group of stubborn local tyrants and inferior gentry who are secretly gathering in the mountains of Youxi County, and it seems that they are discussing what to do with us!" Yaoru, we must not take it lightly, by the way, Pan Xiaoqian's father Pan Yucheng seems to have also gone to Youxi, and their Pan family's influence in Shaxian is extremely ......"

Chang Ruiqing waved his hand and interrupted Wu Shi: "I know, this matter is handled by the Gendarmerie Bureau and the Fuxing Society, you just need to manage those young master soldiers well, you must train them strictly, first train them to become real soldiers, and then take turns to send them to the cadre school and the martial arts hall to participate in short-term training courses." ”

Wu Shi was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Yaoru, aren't these people hostages?" Do you need to bother so much? ”

Chang Ruiqing said with a smile: "It's a hostage and a talent!" At least they're all educated, right? The body is okay, the brain must not be stupid, if you train well, you can use it for us in the future. That's more than 1,800 cadres...... By the way, it is necessary to develop the Iron Comrades Association among them, and it is better to absorb them all! ”
