Chapter 327: Fuzhou Tragedy (2)

Some things have a ripple effect, like this one right now.

Since they can become Sun Daoren's personal guards, then they will definitely be inclined to their own governors. So after seeing that every time Sun Daoren arrested that person named Wang Mingrui, he had to be forced to let people go because of the pressure of these guys in front of him, it was really difficult for them to have a good impression of these people in front of them.

In addition, now these people are relying on their own identities, wantonly impacting the human wall they compose, and even insulting β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” who hold their own identities so much that they don't do it, but those who dare to do it will have the courage because they are backers.

It is precisely because of these kinds of things that the soldiers have an extreme sense of disgust for these people in front of them.

If it weren't for the strict orders above, plus the fact that these people in front of them also have a very high status in Fuzhou, I am afraid that they would have pulled the trigger and fired.

So...

When a companion around them really knocked on the trigger, they instinctively hooked their fingers, who were already a little impatient...

A row of gunshots rang out, almost instantly, and the people who had been storming the Governor's Mansion had already fallen. There were both local gentry and members of the Kuomintang, as well as many helpers they had brought with them, and their blood stained the open space outside the gates of the Governor's Palace.

At the same time, Sun Daoren, who was still harboring fire in the governor's mansion, suddenly turned pale when he heard the gunshot.

"How can there be gunshots..."

"Go and send someone to see..."

Not only him, but also other junta officials.

Soon many people walked out of the main hall. I wanted to see what was going on, but when someone passed on the situation outside, the faces of the other people in the main hall were the same as Sun Daoren's. It's all turned white...

And at this time, at the gate of the Governor's Palace, the gunshots were still ringing.

Naturally, it was not as dense as it had been at the beginning, and it was not long after the trigger was pulled that the soldiers reacted to what they had done. But there are also some people who have endured it for too long, and because they feel that they can't be forgiven, they simply break the can. In this way, even if something really happened, there were a few backs, so the dead and wounded in front of the Governor's Mansion continued to appear, until the guards of the brigade rushed out of the Governor's Mansion to stop them...

"Governor. What now? ”

Looking at the corpses lying outside the gate, one of the officials said at a loss.

However, looking at the blood flowing under his feet, Sun Daoren didn't know how to answer his words...

On May 10, Wang Mingrui, a gentry from Fuzhou, died in prison after being arrested. A large number of Fuzhou gentry and members of the Kuomintang rushed to the Fujian Military Governor's Mansion to protest and demanded that Sun Daoren, then the Governor of the People's Army, hand over the murderer.

However, in the course of the protests. The Governor's Office guards who were responsible for blocking the way opened fire, resulting in 17 protesters being killed on the spot, 31 being injured and hospitalized, and three dying of their injuries...

This is the Fuzhou tragedy that left a mark in the history books...

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

"What the hell is going on..."In the division headquarters, after learning the news of the tragedy outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Xu Chongzhi's first reaction was not to become angry, but the object of anger was not Sun Daoren, but Gao Sencheng, who was sitting next to him and smiling behind hearing the news.

"What's going on?" Gao Sencheng asked with a smile. A breezy look.

"I'm asking about what just happened!" Dragged Gao Sencheng up from the top, Xu Chongzhi said angrily.

In order to be able to give Xu Chongzhi a reasonable reason to oust Sun Daoren from power. Although he was unwilling, Xu Chongzhi still chose to cooperate with Gao Sencheng. Since they cooperated, Gao Sencheng always had to tell Xu Chongzhi about the plan, after all, this matter also needed his cooperation.

And Gao Sencheng's plan is to create reasons through some means.

For example, Wang Mingrui's matter...

According to Gao Sencheng, it is to find a way to push Sun Daoren to the cusp, so that Xu Chongzhi has a reason to overthrow him.

The problem is that Sun Daoren is very cautious, and his situation in Fujian is very bad, so it is almost impossible to leave Xu Chongzhi and them a handle.

In this case, it is not easy to do this, but on the way here, Gao Sencheng has already seen a lot of information about Fuzhou, so he has already thought of a way before coming, which is to use Wang Mingrui's matter.

Wang Mingrui is also a well-known person in Fuzhou, but what makes him famous is nothing else, but his opposition to Sun Daoren.

Similarly, because of the support of many local gentry, and because there are many people in the Kuomintang who look at Sun Daoren unpleasantly. Although Sun Daoren couldn't catch Wang Mingrui many times, he still had to release this guy from the prison after the end.

The prison guards in the prison already recognized this guy, and even left him a room with all kinds of bedding and everything.

If it is judged according to the usual situation, just arresting will obviously not give Xu Chongzhi a reason, but what if this guy dies in prison?

Almost all the people in Fuzhou know about Wang Mingrui and Sun Daoren's incompatibility, and if Wang Mingrui dies in prison, even if Sun Daoren has eight mouths, he can't explain it clearly. Naturally, there will be some smart people who will wonder if there is something else wrong with this, and Sun Daoren himself will defend it, but so what?

As long as Sun Daoren can't prove his innocence for a day, he is a murderer...

In this way, Xu Chongzhi naturally had a reason to drive Sun Daoren out of his positionβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” at least when Gao Sencheng said to Xu Chongzhi.

Although he is unwilling, Xu Chongzhi also knows that if Lu Dao wants to create a reason, there is generally only such a way. Otherwise, unless Xu Chongzhi is willing to continue to smear the Kuomintang's already bad reputation, there are really not many options he can choose, and almost all of them will take a long time to plan, and the problem is that the current Kuomintang simply does not have so much time to squander.

It is to sacrifice a Wang Mingrui. Or sacrifice the little credibility of the Kuomintang, Xu Chongzhi can still figure this out, and in the end Xu Chongzhi chose to sacrifice Wang Mingrui.

By the way. The two prison guards who killed Wang Mingrui were the hands of the Black Dragon Society in Fujian.

Xu Chongzhi is a regular soldier, although he also has a lot of strength in Fujian, but he really has no one in prisons, so only the Black Dragon Society can do this kind of thing, if he really depends on Xu Chongzhiβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” it is estimated that he can only directly lead troops to attack a road.

Therefore, after the last, the Black Dragon Society solved Wang Mingrui's problem very cleanly.

And after learning the news. Xu Chongzhi is also discussing with Gao Sencheng what to do next.

However, after learning about the shooting, and with the inexplicable smile on Gao Sencheng's face after learning the news, Xu Chongzhi quickly reacted.

The reason is simple. Because of Xu Chongzhi's memory, Sun Daoren is a very tolerant guy, and if it weren't for this, he would not tolerate the rudeness of the Kuomintang again and again. How could such a person kill Wang Mingrui for no reason and give others the truth? He wouldn't dare to borrow his two guts...

"Hell, I should have thought of that a long time ago. When we talked about things just now, I was the only one talking. This guy only replies from time to time, which means that there is a problem in it..."

Thinking like this, Xu Chongzhi became even more annoyed.

After all, he is a soldier, and since he has made a decision, he will not regret it, not to mention that it is only Wang Mingrui who sacrificedβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” by the way, he doesn't like Wang Mingrui very much.

But now...

Dozens of casualties, most of them were well-known local gentry, many of whom had good relations with him. There are also many Kuomintang members in it, which is how Xu Chongzhi can not be angry.

"So what do you want to do? Kill me to avenge those people? Gao Sencheng did not deny it. It's just that it's still indifferent. "Don't forget, what our purpose is."

"Do you really think that one Wang Mingrui is enough for you to legally carry out a mutiny? There are not too many smart people in this world, there will always be people who think that Sun Daoren will not have the courage to kill Wang Mingrui, and at that time, as the direct beneficiary, and the Kuomintang behind you will become the object of suspicion of the world, and now the prestige of the Kuomintang is already very low, you don't want him to become lower, right? ”

"However, if such a tragedy happens, then it doesn't matter who killed Wang Mingrui, the most important thing is that the tragedy has happened, Sun Daoren can no longer stay in Fujian, and you have the perfect excuse to solve him, isn't everyone happy..."

Just like Gao Sencheng said, there are many smart people in this world, and sooner or later someone will think that Sun Daoren does not have the courage to move Wang Mingrui, so Xu Chongzhi and the Kuomintang behind him will be exposed later.

The Black Dragon Society hoped that the Kuomintang could become an organization that replaced the Beiyang and the National Socialist Party, and of course did not want the reputation of the Kuomintang to become infamous, so in the process of working with Xu Chongzhi to solve Wang Mingrui, he also came up with another way to solve the problems that might be exposed.

It's to create another thing, to cover the previous thing.

As long as there is a later matter, naturally no one will pursue the previous incident full of loopholes.

The problem is that Gao Sencheng knows very well that Xu Chongzhi may be able to accept the former method, but it is absolutely impossible to accept the latter one, so Gao Sencheng did not tell Xu Chongzhi what will happen later, but used the power of the Black Dragon Society in Fujian to achieve his goalβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Fujian is already within the range of Japan's power, and the Japanese will naturally not be small in Fujian, although Sun Daoren is just a puppet governor, but the Japanese still have some strength in him.

The plan proved to be a success.

After the Fuzhou tragedy, even if someone was suspicious of the previous matter, they could not continue to help Sun Daoren speak, in other words, Sun Daoren had no place in Fujian, and no one would oppose Xu Chongzhi sending troops to overthrow him next.

As for those who died? Don't forget, Takamori is a Japanese, and for him to kill a dozen or twenty Chinese is nothing...

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

"You guy..."Hearing Gao Sencheng's words, Xu Chongzhi really wanted to pull out his pistol and give him a few shots. Then he was thrown into the Pacific Ocean, but in the end he restrained himself because, as Takamori said, he couldn't waste the moment. "You wait for me. When I get rid of those Sun Daoren, I'll come back and clean you up right away..."

Saying this, Xu Chongzhi tidied up his military uniform and strode out, but he had just walked to the door when he heard Gao Sencheng's teasing voice behind him.

"Don't worry, I was already on my way back to Japan at that time...", still sitting in his place, Takamori teased.

"Humph!" With a heavy snort, Xu Chongzhi strode out.

On the other hand. In the Governor's Mansion, Sun Daoren was also thinking about the current countermeasures.

Not long ago, he had already learned what had happened, and even known the number of casualties. When he learned that so many people had died, Sun Daoren's face was definitely not much darker than the walls.

"If it's just one Wang Mingrui, it's nothing, there are so many smart people in this world, there will always be people who think that I was wronged, but now so many people have died. Even if Wang Mingrui was not killed by me. This account is enough for me to go around without food..."

It was at this time that two people suddenly walked in in a panic outside.

"Dudu, the news just came that Xu Chongzhi's tenth division seems to have moved..."

"Xu Chongzhi, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person..."Hearing the report of his subordinates, Sun Daoren's face also showed a trace of anger.

He had already guessed that Xu Chongzhi might have done it, but although Xu Chongzhi regarded him as a puppet in the past, he could be regarded as a relatively upright soldier. So Sun Daoren didn't dare to identify his speculation, but now...

"It can't be helped. It seems that we have to leave here..."Thinking of this, Sun Daoren immediately looked at a few henchmen. "Pack up our things, let's leave Fuzhou immediately..."

In the Min army, the only thing he could control was his personal guards, and he was able to sit in the position of governor all the time without being driven down, completely because the local gentry supported him. But now that this has happened, it is impossible for the local gentry to support him, and with some personal soldiers, Sun Daoren is impossible to fight against Xu Chongzhi so many people, so unless he wants to die in the governor's mansion, he has only one way to escape...

Hearing Sun Daoren say this, several of his henchmen immediately acted according to his orders, and after learning about this incident, the people in the Governor's Mansion also scattered, naturally, it must be indispensable to take advantage of the fire to rob, so it didn't take long for the Governor's Mansion to become natural.

When Xu Chongzhi rushed to the Governor's Mansion with his troops, all he saw was the burning buildings and the people who were fighting the fire around him.

With Xu Chongzhi's understanding of Sun Daoren, he would not think that Sun Daoren had set himself on fire because of this incident. And after a little inquiry, he quickly got the news he wanted...

"Did you run first..."

Muttering, Xu Chongzhi ordered his subordinates to chase after him, and at the same time let people put out the fire...

At this time, Sun Daoren and his henchmen and family members had already rushed to the seaside pier...

"Fujian, I'll come back...", Sun Daoren boarded the ship with his family without looking back.

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

More than an hour after the Fuzhou tragedy, the news quickly spread throughout the country.

After learning that Fujian had now changed its owner and that the Kuomintang had completed substantial reunification, both Yan Shao in Anhui and Yuan Shikai in Beijing were taken aback.

Because with their understanding of Sun Daoren, neither Wang Mingrui's death nor the Fuzhou tragedy could have been done by him, and when they thought of Xu Chongzhi's superiority, the two of them quickly understood.

It's just that they don't have much evidence for this, so it's hard to say anything.

However, on the other hand, Yuan Shikai was happy about Fujian's affairs, because the contradictions between the Kuomintang and Fujian were well known. Originally, the reason why Fujian did not send troops was entirely because Sun Daoren was there to make a hindrance, and now that Sun Daoren has run away, then Xu Chongzhi seems to be able to play his role and share part of the pressure for himself...

A division in Fujian, plus a division in Guangdong, can contain some of Yan Shao's troops, and can also increase Yuan Shikai's chances of victory by a few points.

It's just that Yuan Shikai thought it was quite good, but the truth didn't develop as he thought...

After becoming the governor of Fujian, Xu Chongzhi basically did nothing except for the original Fujian governor Sun Daoren, and he didn't even mobilize the troops.

This has disappointed many and relieved some at the same time.

After all, no one would want an unusually national scuffle, and if Guangdong and Fujian were also involved, then half of China would be involved in this war...

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

The news that Fujian had changed hands was indeed good, and soon Japanese aid also arrived in Fujian.

With the help of the Japanese, Xu Chongzhi had already begun to conduct a new training of the army. In addition, in terms of weapons, new weapons provided by the Japanese began to be used.

And at the junction of the three provinces, the originally fierce war between the National Social Army and Beiyang has gradually calmed down, after all, there are no three or five thousand people every day, and Yuan Shikai and Yan Shao can't hold on like this...

At the same time, according to the internal estimate of the Ministry of Military Affairs, it will take half a year to a year to defeat Beiyang, which can only be said to be barely within the acceptable range of Yan Shao.

It's just that at this time, many people, including Yan Shao, didn't expect that an incident happened somewhere in China not long after, but the war ended much shorter than expected...

The occurrence and impact of this incident not only exceeded Yan Shao and Yuan Shikai's expectations, but also exceeded the expectations of many people... (To be continued......)
