Chapter 324: Fuzhou Tragedy (1)

For Gao Sencheng and them, Xu Chongzhi actually doesn't trust them very much.

It is not surprising, after all, when the Republic of China was just established, the Japanese planned to exchange money for something from the provisional government.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a lot of opposition within the League at that time, and there were some people in the Japanese who felt that they had already paid too much blood in the Russo-Japanese War in order to get Manchuria, and there was no reason to use money to buy it again, I am afraid that it would have been...

In Xu Chongzhi's view, these Japanese are just some wolves who want to cut some meat from Chinaβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” in fact, they are trying to swallow it whole, but the existing rulers rationally understand that they don't have such a big appetite for the time being, and when twenty or thirty years later, a group of brainless people came to power, and the situation changed...

As for their so-called desire to help China, this one is even more 'hehe'...

As a soldier, especially when he is still relatively loyal to the revolution at this stage, it is too difficult to make Xu Chongzhi have a good impression of these Japanese. It's just that as a diehard loyalist and follower of Sun Yat-sen, Xu Chongzhi can only obey orders.

However...

"Why do you have to cooperate with these people, sir..."With puzzlement, Sun Yat-sen's status in Xu Chongzhi's heart was slightly lowered.

However, for the sake of the smooth planning and the interests of the Kuomintang, Xu Chongzhi did not show these things very obviously.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Xu Chongzhi was really a little curious about what they would do, even though he was a soldier. Xu Chongzhi did not intend to overthrow Sun Daoren through mutiny and other means, but as the nominal leader of the Min army and the governor of the Min military government, Sun Daoren was able to sit in this position for more than a year without being ousted. There are still some means, and it is precisely because of this that Xu Chongzhi is still curious about how they can give him an excuse to solve Sun Daorenβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” cough cough, a year may not be a long time, but think about the many changes in the past year, and those governors who have either been driven out or killed. It's been a long year...

"We plan to do this..."Although he didn't plan to discuss with Xu Chongzhi, Gao Sencheng also knew his affairs in Fujian, and it would definitely not be possible to do it if he didn't communicate with this powerful figure in Fujian in advance.

So. I don't know if he has read too many novels or something, obviously there are only Xu Chongzhi and a few of his subordinates in the room, he still motioned for Xu Chongzhi to come over, and then he came up and slowly told his plan.

And after hearing Gao Sencheng's plan. Xu Chongzhi frowned slightly.

"Do you have to do it?"

"Or else? Since Sun Daoren was able to sit in the position of governor of the Fujian army, he was not driven down for more than a year. Naturally, there is some ability, but if you don't, do you think there is any other way to find a reason for the mutiny? Speaking of which, Gao Sencheng smiled inexplicably at Xu Chongzhi. Of course, you can also come up with a way to come out by yourself, or choose to give up, and then go and explain to Tokyo by yourself, the choice is in your hands, we just came here to cooperate..."

Heard Gao Sencheng say this. Xu Chongzhi's face twitched.

As a soldier, he absolutely does not want to use such means. However...

"In this era, there will be no way out for pure soldiers..."Looking at Xu Chongzhi's tangled appearance, Gao Sencheng floated out such a sentence a little carelessly.

Now, Xu Chongzhi has no other choice...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Outside the Fujian Military Governor's Mansion, Sun Daoren's personal guards were guarding outside the wall, and from a certain point of view, this was one of the few troops that Sun Daoren could command and trust.

As for anything else...

Anhui also seems to have only one 14th division...

"Master, drink tea lightly..."

A subordinate walked up to Sun Daoren's side, put down a teacup and said softly.

"Hmm...", Sun Daoren didn't raise his head, and continued to focus on the bookcase.

Although he is a puppet governor, as the governor of Fujian, he still has a lot of things to do after all, and he is constantly on official business every day, but compared with other real power governors, he can still deal with a little less.

It is not surprising that, in fact, many local warlords at this time were able to control some of the larger cities, and their control over some of the smaller or remote places was very weak, and because of the lack of power, they were more inclined to let them govern. This is also one of the reasons why there was such confusion in the Republic of China, like Anhui or Zhili, any place in the province was under the control of the government, which can be said to be unique in the country at this time.

At this time, Sun Daoren was dealing with the joint letter from the following Kuomintang members asking Sun Daoren to send troops.

In fact, Sun Daoren was also a member of the Kuomintang, but he was forced to join when Fujian was recovered. At that time, after the Kuomintang recovered Fujian, because it could not find a prestigious person to be the governor, it arrested him as a governor.

Of course, Sun Daoren was not so active in the affairs of the Kuomintang.

"These guys, they know how to make trouble all day long, can't they use their brains more..."With a bitter sigh, Sun Daoren threw the document aside and decided not to accept it as usual.

is not only a Kuomintang forced in, but also a puppet governor under the control of the Kuomintang, now that the Kuomintang has suffered such a big loss, Sun Daoren is too late to gloat, how can he send troops to help?

Moreover, until now he is waiting for Yan Shao to fulfill his promise, that is, to help him deal with the Kuomintang in Fujian Province, so that he can really become a real governor.

"But then again, I didn't expect the National Social Army to be so able to fight, and it was able to resist Beiyang for so long without falling behind, but this is also a good thing for me, after all, only if the loss of this group of people is big enough, my position can be stable, and I don't have to worry about those people in Anhui coming to occupy the magpie's nest..."

Just let the Nationalist Army enter Fujian. How could Sun Daoren not be worried, but he was a little tired of being a puppet governor, so he decided to invite the National Society Army to enter Fujian.

But now...

The fighting between the two sides has attracted national attention. There are a large number of reporters on both sides of the strait who are conducting interviews, and naturally they will truthfully convey the situation on the battlefield.

After seeing tens of thousands of casualties, Sun Daoren and other local warlords were shocked and rejoiced at the same time.

Because they fight so hard, no matter who wins in the future, they will not have the spare strength to do anything to them. In this way, their earth emperor will also be able to sit for a few more years.

Especially Sun Daoren, if Yan Shao's strength is seriously damaged. Then Sun Daoren naturally doesn't have to worry that he will take advantage of the situation to occupy the magpie's nest or something while fulfilling his promise.

Whenever he thought of this, the corners of Sun Daoren's mouth would curl slightly.

It's just that when Sun Daoren was smiling there by himself, making people feel a little inexplicable. Suddenly, someone walked in from outside.

"The Governor..."

"What's the matter?"

"I just got news from the police station that Wang Mingrui went to the street to make trouble again..."

"That Wang Mingrui again?" Hearing what his subordinates said, Sun Daoren's face showed a little anger.

As I once said, xenophobia is very serious in this day and age. There are few governors who can stand firm as provincials. Well. At present, there are only two, one is Cai Ye, and the other is Yan Shao, if the second one is removed, then in the original history, I am afraid that only Cai Ye will be left.

In fact, even Yan Shao was able to gain a firm foothold in Anhui through various means.

So in Fujian, Sun Daoren naturally has all kinds of opponents, and this Wang Mingrui is one of them.

As a gentry in Fujian. Wang Mingrui is not particularly famous, but since Sun Daoren became the governor of Fujian. He has been raising some voices against Sun Daoren in Fuzhou City.

Especially in the past six months, he has often made some speeches in the streets and alleys, using Sun Daoren's identity as a provincial as a point of attack, which has caused some repercussions in Fujian.

In the past, Sun Daoren has also arrested this guy many times, just because he also has a certain reputation in Fuzhou, and has some relationship with the past alliance and the current Kuomintang, so under the 'intercession' of the local gentry and the Kuomintang in Fuzhou, Sun Daoren can only be arrested and released, and this series of actions also made Wang Mingrui's reputation even louder.

This time, it has been more than a month since Sun Daoren released Wang Mingrui from prison.

Obviously, this Wang Mingrui is a little unbearable and lonely...

"Arrest him and let him go to prison to calm down..."Although his face was full of anger, Sun Daoren still said a little helplessly later. Remember, be soft, don't be too rough..."

No way, who called him a puppet governor? was able to sit in Fuzhou for so long without being driven down, entirely because he had a good relationship with the local gentryβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” except for Wang Mingrui's gang.

The problem is that Wang Mingrui also has a wide network in Fuzhou, and if he really treats him with any rough means, it will only make Sun Daoren lose his already modest support, so even if Sun Daoren grits his teeth with hatred for this guy, he can only swallow his anger in the end...

"Yes..."There have been many similar experiences in the past, so there are no exceptions to the next person.

It's just that when the next person left the room, Sun Daoren, who was lying on the bookcase, gritted his teeth. "Sooner or later, I'm going to break you into pieces..."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the streets of Fuzhou, standing on a makeshift stage, the middle-aged man named Wang Mingrui was standing on it and shouting something.

And around the stage, there was also a circle of people.

These people may not all support Wang Mingrui's point of view, but they are idle, and they only have a yellow face facing the yellow-faced woman at home anyway, so it is better to come here to listen to the fun...

So on and off the stage, it looks like he's happy. /

It's just that just when Wang Mingrui was talking on the stage, a team of policemen in black uniforms suddenly ran over not far away.

"Look, here we go again..."

"yes, yes..."

Although a large squad of police officers ran over. But the onlookers didn't panic at all.

On the one hand, it is because many of these onlookers have a certain status in Fuzhou and even the whole of Fujian, and on the other hand, because such things have happened in the past I don't know how many times.

Uh-huh. That's true.

Since the recovery of Fujian and Sun Daoren served as the governor of Fujian, this kind of thing has happened 6 or 7 times, which is almost equivalent to 1 time every 2 months.

Gradually, everyone got used to it.

After all, every time Wang Mingrui was arrested, there would be local gentry and Kuomintang people interceding for him, but what about Sun Daoming? But it was only one that relied on the support of the gentry. At the same time, he was just a puppet governor, so he didn't dare to lock up Wang Mingrui in disregard of the voices of those gentry, so he had to let him go obediently. And don't dare to have a little torture or something...

Naturally, even Wang Mingrui himself no longer takes these policemen seriously, so when the policemen came on the stage and arrested Wang Mingrui. Wang Mingrui also stood on the stage and waved his hand to the people below.

Whether it is for the people off the stage or for Wang Mingrui. This is something that has been repeated many times in the past. The next routine seems to be the same as in the past, first locked in, and after a while, under the 'request' of many gentry and the Kuomintang, Sun Daoren put people in, and then Wang Mingrui got the prestige he deserved, and the gentry also had their own good wisdom, and the only loser was the very aggrieved Sun Dudu.

When Wang Mingrui has time, he will do it again. Then continue to experience life in prison.

That's what it seems.

At least that's true when Wang Mingrui was just imprisoned.

It's just that...

"You guys go out of the city first, and we'll do it here."

saw that Wang Mingrui had been put in a prison cell. The two guards came out of nowhere, and then spoke to the previous guards.

"Who are you?" In the blink of an eye, the prison guard at the front line was a little strange, because he didn't recognize the two people in front of him at all.

"We're just hereβ€”" As he spoke, one of the guards quietly put his hand behind his waist.

And after hearing them say this, the prison guard didn't care, just nodded. "Okay, since this is the case, I'll go out of Lu for a drink first..."After speaking, he waved his hand, and then walked out of the prison, and at the same time, the two people gradually sent their hands down.

Sitting in the cell where he had lived many times, Wang Mingrui was looking at the walls around him with some nostalgia, not noticing that the situation outside the door had changed. When the two previous prison guards walked in from outside, he even asked a little strangely.

"What's wrong? Didn't I tell me to get me some food and drinks? ”

After coming here many times, he really made this place his home.

However, after hearing his words, the two prison guards just smiled, and then took two steps forward again.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

In Fuzhou, the climate in May is still relatively hotβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” compared with many places in the north, such as Mohe Town, where the minimum temperature is almost minus 50 degrees.

In any case, although at the junction of Anhui, Henan, and Shandong, the Nationalist Army and the Beiyang Army had been turned upside down, at least Fujian at this time was still very peaceful.

People went to the streets to buy groceries peacefully, workers went to work in factories or shops peacefully, and everything remained the same as usual.

Just when people thought it would be the same today, a shocking news came out...

Wang Mingrui died in prison...

The impact of this news in Fuzhou is very great, because since he has been arrested and imprisoned many times, Wang Mingrui can also be called an influential figure in Fujian.

But this is nothing, the most important thing is that everyone in Fuzhou knows that Wang Mingrui has always opposed Sun Daoren in the past, so his death is easily reminiscent of Sun Daoren's doing...

Therefore, a large group of people soon rushed to the outside of the governor's mansion and asked Sun Daoren to give a reasonable explanation. There are both gentry and members of the Kuomintang, almost all of whom have interceded for Wang Mingrui in the past, and they dare not easily offend even Sun Daoren...

"Governor, another group of people just came, and now they are storming the gate of the Governor's Mansion, what should we do?"

Standing in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, one of the officers in the pro-soldier ran back and asked anxiously.

The current situation is really too troublesome, for those guys outside the Governor's Mansion, the soldiers don't dare to fight, they don't dare to kill, they can only be beaten passively, which is too embarrassing for them.

In fact, it was not only him who was aggrieved, Sun Daoren also felt very aggrieved, but while feeling that he was on fire, he sensed a trace of conspiracy.

Because from beginning to end, he never said that he wanted to kill Wang Mingruiβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” he did mean it, because if he wanted to, he could be said to have thought about it many times in his mind.

Originally, in his opinion, Wang Mingrui's affairs should be the same as usual, first locked in, and then released, although he was a little aggrieved, but there was no way.

Who would have thought that he got the news early this morning, saying that Wang Mingrui died in prison, and the death was ugly...

Although this news relieved him, it was equivalent to pushing him into a very dangerous position.

"Anyway, don't let anyone from outside break in..."After speaking, Sun Daoren looked at the police chief. In addition, regarding the cause of Wang Mingrui's death, the case must be solved as soon as possible, do you know the truth? ”

"Yes!" The police chief wiped his sweat.

Wang Mingrui died in the police station, he can be said to be to blame, so although he is not Sun Daoren's person, he has to do his best, after all, because of this incident, he has become Sun Daoren's accomplice in the eyes of many people, if Sun Daoren steps down, I am afraid that he will not have any good results...

Outside the Governor's Mansion, the pushing continued, and at the same time, a subordinate also ran to the side of a pro-soldier captain and said something.

It's just that no one noticed that at this time, two of the many pro-soldiers noticed this, their eyes were cold, and their fingers were also buckled on the trigger...

Two gunshots followed... (To be continued......)
