It has almost become an iron law that all great men must eat the shame of mortals before they are great.

Bian Yifu later thought more than once, why is this so? Why do so many mortals fail to see the inner greatness of a great man before he is great? This is not the short-sightedness of the Chinese people, but what is it?!

Short-sighted people only saw that people's foreign knives were carried in the wrong direction, and they only saw that people were not in a systematic way with binoculars hanging from their necks, and they also made up books and songs to ridicule and scold, what "The general is majestic, and the foreign knife is carried on the right side." Hang an X under your neck, and live a fool. ”

These mortal things don't see the innate heroism of others!

When the old fort in the south of the city was fighting so fiercely, no one thought to give the order to open fire!

The three iron cannons of the West Second Route People's Army did not open fire at all that day.

When Bian Yifu jumped over the Huilong Bridge on horseback, he saw through the single-barreled telescope that the three cannons were supporting the old north gate, as if they were going on, but there was no one next to the cannons.

When I got closer, I found that more than a dozen brothers of the cannon were hiding behind a big tree and throwing dice to gamble, and it was revealed in their words that no matter who won or lost, they would settle the bill after entering the city and washing the streets.

Standing on the towering mound, you don't need a telescope to see it, and it's a mess everywhere.

Some of the brothers on the West Second Road bask in the sun in groups on the open field and catch lice; Some are drinking, fist-fighting, and shouting nonsense; Others held knives and guns, and looked at the city like dogs, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

This scene made Bian Yifu very angry: Right now, Aunt Xia is leading her brothers to desperately storm the old fort, there are no plans for casualties, and even Bai Baihe is dead, this side is good, there is no appearance of war at all! I don't know if Second Master Li is dead or not, but I have seen it with my own eyes,—— if I don't see it with my own eyes, it is really hard to believe.

Bian Yifu then thought that it was very wise for Aunt Xia to ask him to command the soldiers and horses of the West Second Route at this time. Then, he realized his responsibility to Aunt Xia.

At that moment, Wang Sanshun found Ren Daquan, the deputy commander of West Second Road, and asked Ren Daquan what was going on here?

Ren Daquan arrived unhurriedly and said, "Mr. Bian, don't worry! It's not that we don't want to fight, but it's that the money in the city doesn't want to fight! As soon as we arrived in the city, the inside line released a message, saying that as long as we don't fight, everything is easy to discuss. Second Master Li and I thought, since we can discuss, it's better not to defeat it. Mr. Bian, what do you think, we are now a civilian army, not bandits, what are you fighting hard? When you enter the city in the future, you may have to work with Qian Guan, and if you don't fight, won't you have less grudges and hurt less! ”

Bian Yifu said: "If you have fewer grudges and less injuries here, Aunt Xia in the south will suffer a big loss in the green camp!" ”

Ren Daquan said: "I can't say who suffers, it's good to be soft and hard, Aunt Xia and Grandma are hard, let's enter the city from the south gate; If the soft talk is completed here, we will enter the city from our side; It can be said that they complement each other perfectly! After a pause, he said, "Second Master Li is negotiating right now, and I think there is still hope for a peaceful solution here at the Old North Gate." ”

Bian Yifu thought that Ren Daquan and Li Erye were both suspected of pitting Aunt Xia, and he didn't want to be verbose with Ren Daquan anymore, so he pulled the command knife hanging on the right side of his body and said: "Peace is a fart!" Let me make it clear to you: Aunt Xia and Grandma have an order, and I will command this way, just one word: fight! ”

Ren Daquan was stunned, as if he didn't believe it, looked Bian Yifu up and down and asked, "Aunt Xia really asked you to command us?" You, Mr. Bian, too...... Can also fight? ”

Bian Yifu said: "Whether I can fight or not, you will know immediately!" - Even if it is...... Even if I can't fight well, I have to fight! It's better than not moving! ”

Wang Sanshun also confirmed on the side: "Master Ren, Aunt Xia and Grandma Xia are in a hurry, and they have given a death order, asking us to move immediately!" ”

Ren Daquan then said: "Just ...... It's going to fight, let's ...... We have to wait for Second Master Li to negotiate back! If you fight now, I'm afraid that I will ruin Second Master Li! ”

Bian Yifu said: "I can't wait! Even if you ruin Second Master Li, you have to fight! ”

Ren Daquan didn't do it, and said, "If I want to beat you, I'll ...... I can't fight, I can't be untrustworthy to Qian Guandao and Second Master Li......"

Bian Yifu said angrily: "Okay! Just Lao Tzu fought! If you don't dare to fight, you won't come! ”

Ren Daquan stepped aside, but he also ridiculed Bian Yifu: "Mr. has a lot of courage, but Mr.'s knife has to be carried heavily, don't let people laugh at Mr. Commanding the people's army all the way, and he can't carry a knife!" ”

Bian Yifu didn't care about arguing with Ren Daquan at this time, shouted "go" to Wang Sanshun, rushed to the open ground where many brothers gathered in three feet and two steps, and shouted at the brothers with a knife, asking them to immediately return to their own sheds, three sheds and one team, the whole team assembled, and attacked the city after the cannon sounded.

However, Ben Yoshio cried out a sweat, but the brothers remained still, and few believed that the man in front of him, with a foreign knife on his right hand and a telescope hanging from his slender neck, would be their new commander.

Wang Sanshun confirmed on the side that the brothers still didn't believe it, and they also pointed at Bian Yifu and laughed.

Bian Yifu was furious, but he had no choice but to ask Wang Sanshun to call Ren Daquan again.

When Ren Daquan came, he did not confirm Bian Yifu's command identity to the brothers, but only said that according to Bian Yifu's own claim, he was ordered by Aunt Xia's grandmother to command the People's Army of the West Second Road.

The brothers were even more presumptuous,—— a one-eyed rough man actually stepped forward and stretched out a pair of black dirty hands to re-attach the scabbard of a foreign knife to Bian Yifu.

Bian Yifu was really angry, the blood all over his body surged straight to his head, and he didn't know what was going on at the time, so he suddenly raised the cold and shining foreign knife, and with a "brush" knife, he cut the one-eyed rough man to the ground, and then shouted: "Lao Tzu is not here to amuse you!" Lao Tzu is the new commander of your West Second Road, and those who dare to be presumptuous are ...... It's all the end! ”

This is the first person killed by Bian Yifu.

When he killed, he was not afraid at all because of anger, and he was not reckless about the consequences. When I thought about it later, I was shocked into a cold sweat.

At that moment, if someone pounces on him and gives him a knife, or shoots him from a distance, he will be finished, and there will be no more greatness and glory that followed.

Greatness will be destroyed on that day, history will be rewritten, and a person named Bian Yifu will be destined to be only one of the small people in the crowd, and he will never be extraordinary.

However, this knife did not cut out the mess, but cut out an unexpected obedience.

The first one to obey is Ren Daquan.

After Ren Daquan finished yelling at Bian Yifu, he didn't know why he changed his attitude all of a sudden, and he also stood next to the corpse of the one-eyed brother and roared, and said to the brothers: "We are now a civilian army, not bandits, the south gate is fighting tightly, it is impossible to fight here, and it is even more impossible to not listen to Mr. Bian's military orders!" ”

Ren Daquan asked the brothers to obey Bian Yifu's command.

Only then did Bian Yifu wave the blood-dripping ocean knife and repeat the order just now.

The brethren stood solemnly and listened, and immediately gathered together under the leadership of the captain and the head of the shed.

Looking at the busy figure of the brothers, and looking at the one-eyed man covered in blood at his feet, Bian Yifu felt scared, and only then did he think of the problem of Li Erye settling accounts with him after the battle.

Bian Yifu forced himself to be calm and asked Ren Daquan, the deputy commander who had already obeyed him: "Who is this person?" ”

Ren Daquan said: "It's a bodyguard under Second Master Li, named Xu Congxi." ”

Bian Yifu wanted to ask: What is the relationship between Xu Congxi and Li Erye? But he didn't dare to ask, for fear that if he asked, Ren Daquan, who had just obeyed, would see his cowardice, so he only said: "You, the deputy commander, have seen it with your own eyes, this Xu Congxi I can't help but kill, if I don't kill this battle, I can't fight!" ”

Ren Daquan nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Bian Yifu thought again: This Xu Congxi's death is also wronged, this person just played a joke with him, he actually let people die, it's really ...... It's a bit excessive.

I couldn't help but feel a little remorseful in my heart, so I said to Ren Daquan again: "After all, I am my brother, and I will ...... this Xu Congxi's family in the future I'm going to be beneficial. ”

Ren Daquan said again: "Mr. Bian has a good heart. ”

Later, Bian Yifu really cared for Xu Congxi's family for 20 years, which included both guilt and gratitude. The more Bian Yifu came to the future, the more it became clear that it was this little man named Xu Congxi who used his own head to help him establish authority when he needed it most, prompting him to become famous in Xinhong City in the Xinhai year, revealing his true heroic colors.

This is the solemn moment when Bian Yifu changed the history of Xinhong: 10:35 a.m. on November 11, the third year of Xuantong.

At this solemn moment, Bian Yifu walked to the side of the iron cannon with the muzzle of the three guns facing the north gate of Xinhong Lao in a historic way, Ren Daquan stood on the left side of his body, and Wang Sanshun stood on the right side of his body. ”

The three iron cannons roared at the same time, and the pig iron eggs used as shrapnel rushed to the city in the smoke and flames, shattering the cunning and hypocritical peace of the money pipe belt, and creating the first terrifying prestige of the West Second Route People's Army.

With the prestige of the iron cannon, the brothers began to attack the city, and the banner of the West Second Road and the eighteen-star iron-blooded banner of the revolutionary party floated vividly towards the city in the hands of the two brothers on horseback.

The quick guns in the hands of the brethren also rang out, and the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing was like thunder that resounded through the four fields.

The momentum is truly moving.

What is magnificent, Bian Yifu really felt it under the old North Gate City on that day.

Because of that feeling, the command knife in Bian Yifu's hand drew a second arc in the air, and he shouted again: "Open the cannon!" ”

The iron cannon rang out again, and the smoke around the cannon was like a cloud.

In the rising smoke of gunpowder, Bian Yifu raised the single-tube telescope under his neck, looked at the city,—— saw nothing, and now all he saw was a blank white.

When the third order was given to open fire, the patrol battalion at the head of the city had already raised two white coats, and Bian Yifu didn't see it, but still gave the order.

By the time I saw it through the binoculars, the two cannons had been fired, the patrol battalion had opened the gates wide, and the brethren who had attacked the city were flocking in......

In this way, Bian Yifu became a famous "three artillery" general.

Later, the people who praised him said that these three cannons decided history. Xinhongcheng was recovered precisely because of Bian Yifu's order to fire three times.

The people who belittled him said that these three artillery shots were really ridiculous, and it was not necessary in the first place, Li Shuangyin had a good conversation with Qian Guan Band at the head of the city, and the patrol battalion was ready to raise the line of fire, and he was still messing around here.

Historians have another insight in the "Xinhai Xinhongguang Fuji" compiled by Bian Yifu a hundred years later, saying that when Bian Yifu ordered the cannonball, the news of the independence of the provincial capital happened to come, and the money pipe took the boat down the river to attach itself to the revolution......
