On July 13, the Jiangxi Provincial Assembly held a special meeting, publicly appointing Li Liejun as the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi's Yuan army and Ouyang Wu as the governor, announcing the dissolution from the Beijing government.

On July 14, Huang Xing rushed to Nanjing, organized Yuan's army at the base of the first and eighth divisions in Nanjing, and coerced Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, to declare independence.

On July 17, Anhui Bai Wenwei declared independence.

On July 18, Chen Qimei in Shanghai, Hu Hanmin and Chen Jiongming in Guangdong united to declare independence.

On July 20, Xu Chongzhi forced Sun Daoren, the governor of Fujian, to declare independence, and Xu Chongzhi was inaugurated as commander-in-chief of Yuan's army.

On July 25, Tan Yanmin was forced to become independent.

On August 4, Xiong Kewu, commander of the 3rd Sichuan Division, assumed the post of commander-in-chief of Yuan and declared the independence of Chongqing.

On July 22, Sun Yat-sen called Yuan Shikai to persuade him to resign, and the telegram said: "...... There is no other way than to resign today. …… If the public wants to cripple the people, he will not be good at words, and he will not bear the people of the southeast who have been trapped in the military revolution for a long time, and he will oppose the determination of the monarch and the public without hesitation. ”

Is the father of the nation persuading Comrade Yuan to resign and go into the wilderness? It's a pity that Lao Yuan didn't buy it, and this electrification became a huge joke, confirming Sun Cannon's reputation.

After Yuan Shikai received Sun Yat-sen's telegram, he issued an order to remove Sun Yat-sen's full authority to prepare for the national railway. At the same time, it strengthened deployment, went all out to suppress anti-Yuan uprisings in various places, and ordered Huang Xing, Chen Qimei, Xu Chongzhi and others to be arrested.

The North and the South finally tore their faces and fought hard.

Wang Zhenyu dropped this sentence when discussing with everyone: "Never expect that you can realize your dream wish through evil means, our China chaos is in chaos by this means." ”

Late at night on 26 July, Li Zongren, commander of the 1st Mountain Brigade, and the main officers of the brigade sat motionless at the brigade headquarters. Until the wall clock given to him by the marshal rang the bell at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night (the Germans sent a bunch of bells to Wang Zhenyu, and Wang Zhenyu, who couldn't cry or laugh, followed and sent bells everywhere, and his psychology was dark), Li Zongren suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Action!" ”

With a long assembly post, thousands of officers and men of the First Brigade immediately turned on the lights in the barracks, and the entire barracks was suddenly brightly lit. The officers gave urging orders from barracks to barracks, and the squad leaders shouted to the soldiers of their squad: "Check whether the equipment, rifles, knives, grenades, bullet belts, water bottles, backpacks, and dry food bags are complete. ”

"Finished" and "finished" The long-term training allowed the soldiers to complete the inspection work very skillfully......

Then a group of soldiers ran into the designated position under the leadership of the officer and completed the assembly.

Li Zongren looked at the Western pocket watch issued to him by the Armaments Department, the whole process did not take more than five minutes, and he nodded with satisfaction to these energetic subordinates: "Gentlemen, under the order of the town guard embassy, crusade against the king of Changde who is attached to the Yuan thief, and correct the national body." ”

What is the national body? Although the soldiers had learned the culture, they still didn't know much about it, it didn't matter, Li Zongren raised his right hand and shouted: "Long live the marshal, long live the Tiger Brigade."

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live the Marshal, long live the Tiger Brigade." ”

"Embarkation".

Fifteen 50-ton freighters were already waiting at the Yuanjiang Wharf in Anjiang, and Li Zongren's unit of the 1st Mountain Brigade and more than 5,000 heavily armed officers and men began to board the ships in an orderly manner. The artillery equipment was sent directly to five cargo ships dedicated to transporting weapons and ammunition by huge tower cranes, and this kind of machinery made Li Zongren very happy.

In just one hour, all combat units and equipment were completed.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi exchanged glances and ordered the boat to sail.

The long whistle was sounded, the huge fleet rushed straight to Changde, and the curtain of war was slowly opened......

Life is always full of all kinds of adventures, and we can even conclude that no one's life can be replicated.

Wang Zhenya's life is a classic representative of adventure, and the 42-year-old was a very determined member two years ago. In the Minyuan Dynasty, he became a revolutionary hero because of the capture of Jingzhou, and was called a famous general of the People's Army and the second king of Hunan together with Wang Zhenyu. He was then appointed by Tan Yanmin as the envoy of Lizhou Town, and in this process, a man named Li Zhizhong played an important role.

On October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Uprising. In order to prevent the Hunan New Army from following the Wuchang Uprising, Yu Chengge, the governor of Hunan at the time, first thought of Wang Zhenya, a former Yunnan Mengzi Taoist and Guizhou envoy who was registered and had a reputation as Wuliu Wentao. Therefore, he hurriedly summoned Wang Zhenya to the province to assist, hoping that Wang could follow Zeng Wenzheng's example in this critical moment and do his best to serve the court that cultivated him. Yu Chengge asked the Qing court to use Wang to go to Hubei, and Wang Zhenya sent an edict to Changde to recruit troops to attack the Wuchang Revolutionary Army, and the Changde revolutionaries wanted to arrest him and execute him, and the atmosphere was very tense for a while. When Li Zhizhong met the king, he stopped him and said, "This person is still available." If you believe in the old man, leave it to me. ”

Subsequently, Li Zhizhong went to Wang Zhenya to talk about the situation, pointing out that Chen Guois, talking about the three ** righteousness, and talking about the people's republic, Wang Zhenya was happy and convinced, and the laughter overflowed outdoors, and Wang Zhenya surrendered three days later, respecting Li Zhizhong as a senior. We don't know whether the real history is like this, and it is estimated that it is also the trend of the times, otherwise it is really unlikely that a person can completely subvert his political position by relying on only three or two sentences.

In this way, Wang Zhenya's road after was smooth sailing, from a Manchu bureaucrat who was worried at home to a revolutionary hero who captured Jingzhou, and then to the town of Lizhou, becoming the number one person in Changde, all in only two years. Wang Zhenya even changed his name and is now called Wang Zhengya.

Our Comrade Wang Zhengya's life is very moist now, Changde is a treasure of feng shui, and the water of the Yuan River can only enter Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River through this, which means that at least in terms of commercial tax, Wang Zhengya's income will not be less than Wang Zhenyu. It is no wonder that in later generations, Wang Zhengya and the Phoenix Military Group competed in Xiangxi, guarding such a golden position in Changde, and there was really no shortage of soldiers' food.

However, Wang Zhengya is also facing the same problem as Wang Zhenyu, that is, in the small territory of Changde, all kinds of shili dragons and snakes are mixed. Compared with Wang Zhenyu's efficient handling methods, Wang Zhengya is much slower, and he has not been able to unify the military and the government for a long time. But it doesn't matter, now that he controls the docks in Taoyuan and Li County, he doesn't have to worry about money. Soon he expanded his army from four battalions of 4,000 guns to twelve regiments of more than 11,000 people, just as he was about to move to eliminate all kinds of dissidents in his jurisdiction. The Second Revolution broke out......

The small environment is always affected by the big environment, Wang Zhengya had to put down the purging jihua in his hand, and summoned his brother-in-law Qingheng and son Wang Yuyin to discuss countermeasures, which side would he stand on?

Qing Heng didn't rush to speak, he was already thinking about the whole situation before he came. He is still grateful to his brother-in-law who took him in when he was most down, so he must be even more cautious in his plan this time.

On the contrary, it was Wang Yuyin, the young man was straightforward, and he said whatever he thought: "Father, what is there to hesitate about, if it were me, I would directly support the Northern Army." President Yuan Da got money from the five-nation consortium, and Sun Dacang didn't have a dime, so this time he wanted to rely on the revolutionary spirit to fool us into selling his life, but there was no door. ”

Wang Zhengya heard her son's words, and immediately reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about, how many times have you said you, think twice before you speak, don't rush to export, you haven't changed?" ”

Wang Yuyin let his father reprimand him like this, and he was very unconvinced, so he pouted and refused to speak.

Only then did Qing Heng speak: "My lord, I heard that Zhu Rui, the governor of Zhejiang, and Cai Yi, the governor of Yunnan, are both neutral, why don't you do the same?" This place in Changde is on the top of the boundary between the north and the south. Ask Yuan, the future is known, and in the future, how can you protect yourself? But what about not pleasing Yuan? This Tan Dudu's army is on the other side of Dongting Lake, and it is estimated that he will come to fight us. It's hard! ”

Wang Zhengya thought for a long time, but still shook her head and said, "Brother-in-law, this time my brother-in-law may have to make a decision." You're right, but if you want to play neutral, you have to have the strength to do it, so let's just have 10,000 guns, how can we do it? In this war, I am sure that President Yuan Da, who is well fed and well-fed, will win, and we can only stand on his side if we want to. As for Tan Dudu of Changsha, don't look at him announcing independence today, I know this person, as soon as there is a stir, he will definitely fall to Lao Yuan. It can be seen from this that although we have taken some risks, it is not impossible to resist, and there are no strong enemies around us, so I decided to support President Yuan Da and crusade against Sun and Huang for rebellion. ”

Wang Yuyin immediately happily went out to send a telegram from his father in support of the Beijing government, but Qingheng could only shake his head and leave with a sigh.

On the morning of July 26, Wang Zhengya, the envoy of the town guard of Lizhou, sent a telegram to the whole country, rejecting the order of the Hunan Governor's declaration of independence, announcing that Li County resolutely supported the Beijing government, and calling on the military and people of Changde to closely unite around the central government with Yuan Shikai as the core, and resolutely crush the criminal acts of a handful of rebels headed by Sun Huang.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and Wang Zhengya really doesn't care enough about Wang Zhenyu next door, which is also a common problem of the former Qing bureaucrats. In fact, as long as you spend a day squatting at the South Gate Wharf and see how many foreign ships there are in the Yuanjiang Shipping in the past, you can deduce what amazing changes are taking place in Xiangxi and Anjiang. It's a pity that Wang Zhengya doesn't have this time, and the people below don't have this brain, so they made a lot of calculations, and they actually missed Wang Zhenyu, who was ambitious about Changde.

I didn't start over in life, and I regretted not having the place to buy medicine......
