Gong Peng can now be said to be the busiest person in Guangxi, and before he was transferred to the head of the Changde station of the Military Intelligence Department, he was the head of the Liuzhou station.

It can be said that it took him three months to get a clear picture of the situation in Liuzhou.

But now that he has been transferred back, he has been promoted to the head of the Guangxi station, and according to the latest establishment table of the Military Intelligence Department, Liuzhou Station and Nanning Station have become substations. Then the stationmaster of his big station is busy, and there are so many agents, and it is not only Liu Guxiang's intelligence that needs to be investigated, but also Lu Rongting's intelligence in Nanning. The work of the agents who had previously worked at the Nanning station was very unsatisfactory in this regard, and it was not until Gong Peng transferred five Guangxi soldiers from his army to the military intelligence department that the situation improved.

The latest requirement of the governor is to focus the work on the two points of Liuzhou and Nanning, and to immediately fly pigeons to transmit messages if there is any wind and grass (the radio station has not yet been popularized).

He Jian himself took a group of people from the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department to Jingzhou with Wang Zhenyu's general headquarters, and Song Haomin had just been transferred to the general headquarters as the head of the logistics support department, and his military rank remained the same as that of colonel.

Judging from the military deployment, Wang Zhenyu is indeed bound to win Liuzhou and other areas in northern Guangxi. Not only the 1st Division was transferred, but also the 1st Mountain Brigade and the 2nd Mountain Brigade, which had just shone in the Changde War.

You must know that the 2nd Garrison Division commanded by Liu Xing has been transferred to the Changde area to assist in the local political reform (with gun assistance?). ）。 At present, in the entire Xiangxi base camp, in addition to the security corps, there is only Zhao Dongsheng's guard brigade.

However, Wang Zhenyu is not completely adventurous, he sees one point, that is, no matter how empty you are, as long as Cai Ye is still there, Liu Shixian in Guizhou will not dare to set foot in Xiangxi for half a step. Cai Dashuai declared neutrality, and if Liu Shixian dared to break Cai Dashuai's chess game, it is estimated that this Guizhou governor will come to an end.

"Brother Delin, you said that the handsome Weishenme dared to let us go to Liuzhou now without any reason?" In the Changde Raid, Bai Chongxi, who was in the limelight because of his attack on Li County, had just met Wang Zhenyu with Li Zongren. However, Wang Zhenyu only talked a few words, and then asked the two to rush back to the passage immediately, and then led the team to Liuzhou, Bai Chongxi was very puzzled by this.

Li Zongren shook his head: "The marshal has always acted in a whimsical manner, so I don't know very well, what important information did our military intelligence department provide?" Didn't you get a benefit from this in Cili? And there's nothing wrong with us playing Guangxi, it's been almost two years since I left home, and I don't know if the people at home are okay? ”

Speaking of family, Bai Chongxi, who has always been cold-faced, also showed gentle eyes, looking at the mountain in the distance, the other end of the mountain is home......

Just when the homesickness of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, two Guangxi people, began to flood, a bloody scene was being staged in Liuzhou.

If historians are interested in selecting the top ten most tragic figures in China in 1913, or the second year of the Republic of China, the first place must belong to Liu Guxiang. As for Song Jiaoren and others, they all have to be ranked in the back, because if Liu Guxiang admits that he is second, it is estimated that no one will dare to admit the first. is more miserable, who can compare with Liu Guxiang?

Liu Guxiang was born in 1873 in Maping, Guangxi Province (now Liujiang). He participated in the world-famous Huanghuagang Uprising in Guangzhou, launched an uprising in Liuzhou during the Xinhai Revolution, and served as the chief of the Youjiang Military and Political Branch in Guangxi and the commander of the Fifth Army of the Army. Such a person who failed to show his face in history textbooks was described as follows when he later wrote the local chronicles: "In 1913, after Yuan Shikai usurped the fruits of the revolution, he tried to become emperor, he actively responded to the anti-Yuan movement led by Sun Yat-sen, and raised troops in Liuzhou to fight against Yuan, and responded to the provinces by telegram, declaring the independence of Guangxi, because of Shen Hongying's betrayal, unfortunately he was arrested by Yuan Shikai's minion Lu Rongting. On October 14 of the same year, he calmly took up justice at the east gate of Liuzhou. ”

We will not talk about how Lu Rongting, Yuan Shikai's minion, later cooperated with our father of the nation to carry out the Dharma protection movement in the south, but we will talk about the miracle of Liu Guxiang's life.

In the era of the Republic of China, it was common for generals with troops to encounter mutinies, for example, Cao Kun in Baoding because of the deduction of military salaries to let his subordinates bombard the Shuaifu with cannons, fortunately he was not in the house at the time, but a concubine was blown up and killed.

But Liu Guxiang and these people encountered a mutiny, in just five days, he actually suffered two mutinies, and the ending was worse and worse each time.

The first mutiny was a bit embarrassing to say, and it was none other than Liu Guxiang's revolutionary comrade, a Kuomintang, who launched the mutiny.

Dissatisfied with Liu Guxiang's hesitation in courting Yuan, the comrades in the party claimed that they wanted to force Liu Guxiang to ask Yuan, so they decisively launched a military admonition, which sounded a bit like the Xi'an Incident.

The Kuomintang also clearly recorded this military activity: in the middle of the night on September 11 (what an auspicious day at this time), Liu Guxiang's guard captain Liu Maliu launched a demonstration by firing guns at his headquarters, in order to coerce Liu Guxiang to decide to revolt.

Oh, it turned out to be a gun demonstration, but it was relatively mild. But what about the consequences? According to the records of the Kuomintang, due to the haste of the incident, Liu Guxiang was unaware (nonsense, if he knew, he would still be able to make you toss around!). ), panicked, climbed over the wall to escape. But something strange happened, it was obviously a demonstration of gunfire in the sky, and Liang Zuolin, the secretary general of Weishenme Liu Guxiang, and Liu's wife Ma Dian, and Liu's daughter-in-law Yang Li were all shot and killed indiscriminately? Could it be that the three of them were already in heaven at that time?

So as a result of the first mutiny, Liu Guxiang died his wife and became a widower, and of course his son joined the widower's team like him.

This is still a start, Liu Guxiang let his comrades in the party put together, it stands to reason that he should repent, and then throw himself into the benevolent arms of President Yuan Shikai, and become Lao Yuan's minions and a tool to suppress the revolution.

But no, Liu Guxiang, like a certain marshal later, let the organization kill his wife and did not hesitate to follow the organization to the end. What is such a comrade who is not a staunch revolutionary?

Liu Guxiang opposed Yuan while recuperating from his injuries, and then appointed Liu Zhenhuan as the commander-in-chief of the Yuan army in Guangxi, and transferred troops to fight Lu Rongting, who supported Yuan Shikai.

The second mutiny was completely a modern version of the farmer and the snake, because Shen Hongying, who launched the second mutiny, was cultivated by Liu Guxiang. Shen Hongying, the word Guannan. As a green forest, he was recruited by Zhao'an, and his former name was Shen Yaying. Originally from Jiaying Prefecture, Guangdong (now Mei County), he was born in Enping, Guangdong, and his ancestors moved to Rongxian County, Guangxi, where he operated small traders for a living. Shen Hongying, who was about 21 years old, joined a gang and committed crimes and robberies in Liucheng, Luobu, and Luocheng. Because of his strong body, cunning sex, and fierce actions, he was promoted to the leader of the gang. In Rongshatang and other places, the brothers, uncles and nephews of the Shen bandits, all those who have the strength to join the gangs.

After the Xinhai Revolution, Shen Hongying led the team to join the revolutionary Liu Guxiang and became the superintendent of the Fifth Army of the Guangxi Army.

Because Shen Hongying has good facial features, can speak well, is diligent in handling things, is good at catering to Liu Guxiang, and speaks Hakka dialect with Liu Guxiang, therefore, he is appreciated by Liu and relied on as a confidant.

At the beginning of 1912, Liu Guxiang went out to inspect the counties under Youjiang, and Shen Hongying led his troops to follow. To recruit bandits in various counties, they were all allocated to Shen Hongying's troops, so Shen's troops were relatively substantial.

Early the next morning after the first mutiny, Shen Hongying went to the gang headquarters and saw Liu Zhenhuan first, saying that he would follow Liu Zhenhuan to oppose Yuan. Zaijian Liu Guxiang knelt down to Liu Guxiang and said, "I am cultivated by the commander, I can't protect the commander, I'm sorry for the commander." ”

At that time, Liu Guxiang was moved, and he almost didn't recognize his godson.

Then Shen Hongying said to Liu Zhenhuan, "There are many people in the Gang Command, and it is not easy for the commander to recuperate from his injuries when he lives here, and my place is relatively quiet, please come to my place to live." ”

Liu Guxiang trusted Shen Hongying very much, so he moved to Shen Hongying to recuperate.

In fact, Shen Hongying has defected to Lu Rongting.

On September 14, taking advantage of the opportunity of Liu Chengfu to lead a thousand men and horses to attack Lu Rongting, Shen Hongying launched a second mutiny in Liuzhou, and this time Liu Guxiang, who was injured, did not even have a chance to climb over the wall. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Zhenhuan escaped from Liuzhou with dozens of people and evaded pursuit in all directions.

In history, Liu Guxiang, who ended in tragedy, was handed over to Lu Rongting by Shen Hongying as a voter, and Lu Rongting immediately decided to shoot the biggest opponent who dominated Guangxi.

Before the execution, the triumphant Lu Rongting asked Liu Guxiang with a smile what else he had to say, and Liu Guxiang's last words were a little excited: "Shen Hongying was picked up by me, he killed me today, and he will kill you in the future." ”

Lu Rongting only thought that this was angry, and with a wave of his hand, Liu Guxiang was killed, and Shen Hongying became the new master of Liuzhou.

However, due to the appearance of Wang Zhenyu, an irresponsible butterfly, history began to shift here......

After Liu Zhenhuan escaped from Liuzhou, Jihua first fled to Guangzhou, which was still under the control of Yuan's army. But Shen Hongying obviously expected this and set up many checkpoints on the road to Wuzhou. In the end, he was born as a bandit, and the idea of cutting grass to eradicate the roots is deep-rooted.

Liu Zhenhuan tried several times, but not only failed to get out, but lost more than a dozen brothers. I had no choice but to go in the direction of Hunan, but after all, Tan Yanhong, the governor of Hunan, announced his independence to ask for Yuan.

But his whereabouts have been exposed, and Shen Hongying's subordinates Lan Ba and Tao Er came after them with more than eighty bandit-born officers and soldiers.

Today is the third day, and almost every time I take a break, the other party catches up. After a brief exchange of fire, the distance widened again. In order to get out, Liu Zhenhuan had to learn to play gecko with broken tails, so there are only a few people who still follow him.

Hunger, fatigue, and fear hit his heart after accumulating for three days, Liu Zhenhuan felt that he was about to die, and he who grew up in a big household would definitely not be able to outrun Lan Ba and Tao Er, who were bandits in the mountains.

Everyone finally found a place to drink some water and take a breath. A bullet hit the guards beside Liu Zhenhuan, and the guards fell into the trickling stream, the dark red blood and the stream water were stained red.

Liu Zhenhuan looked back in horror, Lan Bazheng took more than 30 people with guns and pointed at a few of his people: "Liu Bangtong, you can really run, the brothers took a few shortcuts to catch up with you, it's not easy." ”

Liu Zhenhuan knew that his death had come, and sighed, the old Liu family's revenge could not be avenged, he quietly closed his eyes and waited for the gunshots to sound......
