Chapter 31
The revolution is coming, swift and arrogant.
In the autumn of this year, the first cannon rang out in Wuchang City, and the Hubei Military Government of the Republic of China was established, and the whole country was shaken. The Qing court panicked and used Yuan Xiangcheng in desperation. Xiang Cheng led the Beiyang officers and soldiers to swear to Guo De, and immediately waved his army south, approaching the three towns of Wuhan, and forming a confrontation with the nascent Republic of China across the river.
When the news reached Shicheng, the revolutionary party took advantage of the momentum of Wuchang to make a big fuss.
Only 10 days after the Wuchang Uprising, the Jiangfang Association Office and the Prefect's Yamen ate three bombs.
Twice it blew up, and once it didn't.
The most praised by the people of Shicheng was the third time, the bombing of the Jiangfang Association.
More than a dozen male and female students who were going to the new school were not afraid of death, carrying bombs and earthen guns, and rushed to the gate of the association's office in the middle of the day. The Green Battalion soldiers fired indiscriminately, knocking down all the students on the riverside road, but the students still pulled off the bombs they had brought with them.
A schoolgirl went off the bomb and hissed: "Long live the Republic of China!" ”
The government was greatly frightened, and the meeting and the elders of the meeting sent out all the officers and men of the green battalion and the patrol battalion to arrest the revolutionary party day and night. Regardless of whether it is true or not, if it is suspected that it is a revolutionary party, it will be arrested, and if it is caught, it will be killed, and if it is killed, the head will be put in a special wooden cage and hung at the city gate for public display.
For a time, the stone city was full of bloody storms, and I don't know how many wild ghosts and ghosts in the name of the revolution were created.
This shook Liu Jiachang, the commander of the Eighth Association of the New Army, who was stationed outside the east gate of Shicheng.
Liu Xietong was not prepared to respond to the government of the Republic of Wuchang and carry out a revolution to recover Shicheng, but the officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion, who were full of people, arrested and killed people like this under the instructions of the Jiangfang Council Office and Master Deng, Liu Xietong couldn't stand it anymore, and he wanted to move.
However, at that time, the revolutionary situation was not clear, and the 2,000 brothers under Liu Xietong's horse and artillery were outside the city. The revolutionary students of the Road and Mine School knelt in front of Liu Xietong and begged Liu Xietong to raise troops, but Liu Xietong did not respond.
Liu Xietong said to the students of the Road Mining School: "You must know that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and their good life will not be too long." ”
Sure enough, not long after, news came from all over the world, today this province is independent, tomorrow that province is independent, just a finger counting, most of China actually belongs to the Republic of China. The independent provinces also held a meeting in Shanghai and unanimously recognized the Hubei Military Government of the Republic of China as the provisional government representing the whole of China.
The territory under the rule of the Qing Dynasty was pitifully small.
Only then did Liu Xietong decide that his new army was "unbearable", so on the night of the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, he personally led more than 2,000 brothers of the whole association, under the guidance of the money management belt of the patrol battalion, secretly entered the stone city from Jubaomen, and suddenly raised an incident under the banner of destroying the Manchurian and Xinghan people.
It was a day that would determine the history of Stone City.
On this day of deciding history, Liu Xietong sat in a sedan chair and dragged more than a dozen iron cannons, and in the middle of the night, he quietly came to the big garden opposite the Jiangfang Association's office, and wanted to fight to the death with the green battalion guarding the Jiangfang Association's office.
When Liu Xietong arrived at the big garden, he actually went under the nose of the meeting officer, and the meeting did not know it.
It's no wonder that Liu Xietong is too treacherous and will use suspicious soldiers.
During the day, Liu Xietong also invited the adults of the conference office to go to the eastern suburbs to watch the new military exercises, but something happened at night, and no one could prevent it. Even when they arrived at the big garden, they had already asked the brothers who had the artillery to put up the iron cannon against the Jiangfang Association's office, and many of the brothers had not yet seen Liu Xietong's face.
Liu Xietong didn't come out of the eight-carried sedan chair that night.
After setting up the iron cannon, Liu Xietong decided to salute first and then soldier, so he personally drafted the "Advice" to the Lord of the Huiban, Mr. Deng and the green camp in the eight-lift sedan chair.
Liu Xietong can be martial arts and can write, "Advice" is written very literately, and he said at the beginning: "The country is the country of the people, the world is the world of the Han Dynasty, and the country is the world of stealing the country and the world is not declining for hundreds of millions of years?" Wuchang's righteous act, the world's response, is really the will of heaven. You don't see that the general trend of the revolution has been achieved, and the people of the Republic of China are longing for ......"
Therefore, Liu Xietong advised the Huiban and Deng Lao to follow the trend of the people, persuade the Green Camp to lay down their arms, and work with him to achieve the peaceful recovery of Shicheng.
The loyal* Huiban and Deng Lao were not moved by Liu Xietong's literary brilliance, nor did they want Liu Xietong to present the peace in front of them, and killed the brothers who sent the "Letter of Advice", not to mention, and ordered the bombardment of the large garden where Liu Xietong was located.
Liu Xietong was seriously angry at this time and ordered the cannon to be fired.
More than a dozen cannons rumbled.
The firelight and smoke instantly flooded the office of the Jiangfang Association.
The government is in a hurry.
The meeting manager did not know that Qian Guandao had participated in the uprising, so he ordered Qian Guandao to lead the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion to come to reinforcements, and Qian Guandao Zhen took a battalion of brothers from the river to approach the Huiban Mansion, and formed a flanking attack with Liu Xietong of the new army.
The Lord of the Huiban and the prefect's yamen, Mr. Deng, panicked at this time, abandoned the Jiangfang Huiban, which could have been defended for a while, and fled across the river with hundreds of remnants of the green battalion. In a panic, the boat of the Huiban and Deng Lao accidentally capsized, and the two adults both fell into the river and drowned, and Shicheng was recovered.
This changed the dynasty and entered the Republic of China.
Liu Xietong relieved the people from fire and water, made meritorious contributions to the recovery of Shicheng, and had the support of his 2,000 brothers, so he naturally became the new master of Shicheng.
This new master was originally called the Military and Political Governor's Mansion, which was self-appointed by Liu Xietong. Not long after, Liu Xietong was officially appointed by the president of the Republic of China, and then changed his name according to the establishment of the Republic of China, called the town guard envoy.
As a revolutionary party, no longer killing heads, the revolutionary party will be popularized.
Less than a month after the recovery, the revolutionary party was all over the streets, and even Ma Wuye and his gang brothers became revolutionaries, one by one, they were vivid, cutting men's braids everywhere.
Ma Wuye had a warm welcome attitude towards the revolution, and went around boasting to people about the revolutionary party friends he had made back then, and also went to Ma Erye's mansion to scare Ma Erye with a five-shot Mauser fast gun, making a very caring appearance, asking Ma Erye to be careful of his old life.
Ma Erye and some of the gentlemen in the city were stunned by this change, and always felt that they were dreaming, no matter what they said, they didn't believe that the Qing Dynasty was over like this, and they still opened their mouths with a "Great Qing" and closed their mouths with a "Holy Shang", and encouraged each other to not forget the previous dynasty.
If you don't forget the previous dynasty, you can't cut your braids, which violates the "Braiding Order" clearly promulgated by the government of the Republic of China, and it also gives Ma Wuye an excuse for blackmail.
Ma Wuye charged Ma Erye's antiques who did not cut braids one by one for the protection of pigtails, and the monthly rule was two taels of silver. Because of Bu Shouru's relationship, Ma Wuye took special care of Ma Erye, and the monthly rules actually received ten taels. After collecting the protection fee, he did not implement the responsibility of protection, but only told the second master Ma to be careful and coil up his braids to prevent his head from falling to the ground.
Ma Wuye said conclusively: "When the Ming Dynasty changed the Qing Dynasty, it was to keep the hair without the head, and the head without the hair; Now that the revolution has passed, the Qing Dynasty has changed the Republic of China, and the Han people have won the country again, so they have changed the rules, leaving braids without braids, and leaving heads without braids. Ma Erye was really angry, but without Master Deng as a backer, he didn't dare to fight hard with Ma Wuye, so he hid at home every day and smoked big cigarettes, lying on the couch and recalling the good times when he sat in the Dragon Court on the Great Qing Dynasty before. Sometimes when I think about it, tears and snot flow all over my face.
As time went by, Ma Erye's hatred for the revolution grew.
In the midst of the hatred, Ma Erye was ruthless in front of Bu Shouru with a cigarette gun more than once, saying that revolution is rebellion, and the revolutionary party does not have a good thing, like that Ma Wuye, he will definitely be beheaded in the future, even if he Ma Erye ends here, he will never have anything to do with a bastard like Ma Wuye.
Bu Shouru Danfan heard Ma Erye say this, but always pretended not to hear it, and ignored it at all.
At that time, his son Tianci had already been born, Bu Shouru was breastfeeding himself, and Ma Erye was going to invite a nurse to Tianci, but Bu Shouru didn't want it.
Bu Shouru is afraid that the nurse will milk the child, and the child will be inconsiderate to him when he is older.
In the winter of Xinhai, Tianci was more than a year old, and he looked very much like Bu Shouru, and his small appearance was very pleasing.
Bu Shouru received some of his heart because of the relationship between God, and his sedan number was only let by Qiu Sanye, and he didn't have much to do, and his dealings with Ma Wuye were also scarce. Sometimes looking at the little face of Tianci red fluttering, Bu Shouru even thinks that from now on, she has to be a good mother, what sedan number, sedan chair, revolution, recovery, it is really not her woman's business to take care of.
However, Second Master Ma always lay on the couch and cursed the revolution, always reciting over and over again the good times when Master Deng was in charge of Shicheng in the previous dynasty, so he forced Bu Shouru to remember a lot of past events in a timely manner.
The past was filled with the smell of blood, which made Bu Shouru's heart tremble.
Bu Shouru thought again that she couldn't just forget it, she had to take advantage of Ma Erye's good time to support her own side of the world.
At that time, Bu Shouru had already decided that Ma Erye's life as a man who fought the world was over. Looking at the old face of Second Master Ma on the couch, Bu Shouru thought more than once that this old mongrel would one day close his eyes and fall asleep with his hatred for the revolution.
This revolution has come at a good time.
The things that Ma Erye hates must be good things.
If you think about it, it's true, the revolution is really good. The revolution killed Mr. Deng, who Ma Erye relied on, and made Ma Erye lose his good time. But the revolution did not remove the granite road in Shicheng, and there were still red, green, and green sedan chairs on the granite road in Shicheng. Liu Xietong, who was the town guard of the Republic of China, still loved the sedan chair as much as the old man Deng of the former Qing Dynasty, saying that the sedan chair walking all over the street was a scene of the stone city and a symbol of local stability.
So, when Ma Erye attacked the revolution again one day, Bu Shouru opened his mouth with a smile and said, "What are you scolding? What's wrong with this revolution? Didn't the revolution take off one of your pigtails? I didn't get rid of your sedan chair! ”
Ma Erye threw his cigarette gun and said: "You only know the sedan number and sedan chair, but you don't know the righteousness of the world!" ”
Bu Shouru felt funny: "What is the righteousness of the world? I know the righteousness of the world that day, isn't there just the thick legs of Master Deng inside and out? ”
Ma Erye said: "It's one thing for Boss Deng to be good with me, and it's another thing for the world to be righteous. I don't even want the saint, will there be a good one in this world? ”
He said gloomily: "Don't you see that the Republic of China is making trouble today, it's hard to say what will happen in the future!" Wasn't it also fierce when the long hair was in turmoil? There are so many kings, but look at it, where is the long hair today? Wasn't he driven out by Zeng Xiangguo? ”
Bu Shouru sneered: "It's a pity that your Zeng Xiangguo died a long time ago, and you can't return your soul again!" ”
Ma Erye sighed again, and said while sighing: "Zeng Xiangguo is not here, there will still be righteous people who protect the country from King Qin, you look at it......"
Bu Shouru said viciously: "Okay, even if there is a righteous man who protects the country, even if the emperor can still sit in the Dragon Court, your Ma Er is still finished, you have picked up the coffin by hand, and you can't wait for that day!" ”
Ma Erye was angry, grabbed the teacup on the couch, and smashed it at Bu Shouru.
Bu Shouru's body was sideways, and the teacup fell on the opposite wall and shattered.
The heavenly gift in his arms was so frightened that he cried.
As soon as Tianci cried, Ma Erye was distressed, and hurriedly got up from the couch to snatch the child from Bu Shouru's hands.
Bu Shouru didn't give it, pushed Ma Erye away, patted Tianci, glanced at Ma Erye coldly, turned around and left...... The heart of supporting the revolution was almost forced out by Ma Erye little by little.
Naturally, because of the sedan chair, because of the sedan chair Liu Zhen's guard.
Listening to Ma Wuye and the brothers who helped the door, Liu Zhenshou did not ride a horse when he commanded the uprising, and they all sat in a sedan chair. Bu Shouru thought very sincerely, even for Liu Zhen, who loved the sedan chair like this, she also had to support the revolution.
However, despite this, Bu Shouru did not think of using the revolutionary leader Liu Zhenshou to expand his territory and prosper his sedan chair industry. Later, the acquaintance between Bu Shouru and Liu Zhenshou was not the result of deliberately drilling into the camp, but Liu Zhenshou came to the door.
