Qi Yuanshan was fought from Xuzhou to Beiping by stepping on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.

From spring to summer, at the age of twenty-eight, he participated in seven battles as a division commander. The division commanders who went hand in hand with him included future famous generals such as Xue Yue and Wei Lihuang. In the battle of Jinan, Qi Yuanshan came to Yashi in person, climbed the city wall, and forced the "dog meat general" Zhang Zongchang to flee in embarrassment, leaving a song of "Song of the Great Wind" in vain, "The cannon bombarded his mother, Weijia Hai returned to his hometown, and the giant whale swallowed Fusang!" At this time, Japan sent troops to Jinan and slaughtered them on a large scale. Qi Yuanshan found out that the Japanese wing captain on the opposite side was a classmate when he was a student at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, so he shouted in Japanese, hoping that the other party would withdraw his troops, but it was a pity to seek skin with the tiger. Soon, Qi Yuanshan received an order not to resist and was forced to withdraw his troops, leaving a city of life. The National Revolutionary Army bypassed Jinan and headed north, occupied Beijing in June, and changed its name to Beiping.

A few days ago, Chang Kaishen led the officials of the National Government to Beiping to worship the coffin of Mr. Zhongshan. In 1925, Sun Yat-sen died in Beijing, after which he rested at Biyun Temple in Xiangshan. Qi Yuanshan participated in the sacrificial ceremony, and inexplicably missed Qin Beiyang - didn't the good brother who only wish to die on the same day and month of the same year also live in Biyun Temple for a while?

Chang Kaishen did not forget Sun Dianying, who was stationed in Tanglin, and sent Qi Yuanshan as a special commissioner to inspect. Qi Yuanshan took a company of cavalry out of Beiping and passed through Jixian County to Zunhua. Along the way, there are wildernesses after the war, and there are bones on the road, and the land is thousands of miles away.

When they arrived at Tanglin, the cavalry company was turned away by Sun Dianying's army. Qi Yuanshan entered the cemetery alone, as if he had arrived at the Hongmen banquet. Along the way, he kept the garrison of Tanglin in mind. Unexpectedly, the place where Sun Dianying entertained him was actually on the Longen Hall of the Empress Dowager Cixi, which was really a gentleman and a villain.

Facing the "pock-faced general" Sun Dianying, Qi Yuanshan calmly said the word "retrenchment", and a murderous aura rose from all around the hall. Since the "Tongzhi Zhongxing", the Qing court appointed the Hunan army and the Huai army to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, planting the seeds that could not be dropped. Later Beiyang warlords, officers and soldiers only knew loyalty to the general, but did not know allegiance to the country, so that the civil war continued, the feudal towns were divided, the army was like bandits and robbers, and the reduction of troops was equivalent to the reduction of life.

The three division commanders under Sun Dianying's command all had gloomy faces, some rolled their eyes, some grinned, and some simply put their hands on the holster. Only Sun Dianying laughed and said: "Brother Yuanshan, I have heard of the name for a long time!" You are the son of An Chongbing, the general of the late New Army, Wang Shizhen, the 'Dragon of the Beiyang', recommended you to study in Japan, and you are still a top student of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and a few years ago he went south to join the revolutionary party and became a celebrity in front of Mr. Chang. In this Northern Expedition, you can kill our Zhilu coalition army very miserably. ”

"Your Excellency the military commander has praised falsely, Yuanshan is just loyal to the country and doing things for the revolution." Qi Yuanshan thought to himself that Chang Kaishen sent him to be this commissioner to discuss the reduction of troops with the old warlord, it was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger and a knife to kill people. But he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and talked eloquently, "Since ancient times, the strength of a general depends on the soldiers and horses under his command, and you are famous for loving soldiers like a son. If the army is reduced, the livelihood of the brothers under him will become a big problem. ”

"Oh my mother! Brother Yuanshan, you are talking about my heart! ”

Sun Dianying took off his hat with a smile, touched his half-bald head, and ordered to send two hundred taels of gold, and tied two yellow flower girls from the county seat tonight for the guests to enjoy.

"General, are you insulting me? Qi Yuanshan is a greedy and lustful person! ”

"Offended, offended! Brother Far Mountain. We're drinking in a big bowl tonight! Eat meat! Get drunk! ”

The east side hall of the Empress Dowager Cixi's mausoleum was given to Qi Yuanshan as a bedroom. Although it is a matching hall, it is also made of yellow rosewood, and the beams and pillars are covered with gold paintings of dragons and phoenixes, which are luxurious and extravagant, needless to say.

Sun Dianying and Qi Yuanshan drank all night, and there were two beautiful young orderlies to accompany them during the banquet. The pock-faced general first showed his loyalty, patted his chest and said that he would swear allegiance to the national government, and was willing to be a striker to enter Shanhaiguan and capture Xiao Liuzi alive. He also asked Qi Yuanshan to intercede with Chang Kaishen, on the occasion of this autumn of peril, if the troops were easily reduced, I am afraid that it would affect the great cause of reunification. Qi Yuanshan agreed, praising Sun Dianying as a reckless hero, a pillar of the country's urgent need, and the men and horses under his command must be the elite of the national army in the future.

However, Qi Yuanshan's words changed: "Your Excellency, your army is stationed in Dongling, and you have asked me to live in the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Cixi, I'm afraid there are bigger plans, right?" ”

Speaking of which, Sun Dianying simply made it clear: "Brother Yuanshan, we don't talk nonsense. No matter how big the master is, if he drinks and has fun here, maybe tomorrow morning, his head will move and his body will be broken. You said that Zhang Dashuai outside the Guanxi was still the generalissimo of the Navy and Army of the Republic of China half a year ago, how beautiful is it? Didn't it happen overnight that it was blown up by the Japanese? What glory and wealth, it's all fucking bullshit! I'm sorry, I don't have a door on my mouth. ”

"It's not rough."

Half a catty of liquor was in his stomach, and Sun Dianying already had a big tongue: "There is ...... There's a saying...... It's just to have fun in time...... It's not that I have to spend a lot of time drinking, seventeen or eighteen aunts, but the power and gold in my hands must not be wasted. What do you see under our feet? It's a lot of power and gold! ”

"Well, power is equal to gold." Qi Yuanshan kicked the "golden bricks" on the ground, and there was a terrible response from below, as if the Empress Dowager Cixi had also heard it, "This imperial tomb of the Qing Dynasty represents the supreme power, and it also hides the treasures of the rich and rival countries." ”

"That's right! You say that this Manchu emperor is not bad, he plundered the people's fat and people's ointment, neither resisted foreign devils, nor benefited the common people, but buried it underground and gave it to the Empress Dowager Cixi to enjoy in the underworld, isn't this a great sin? ”

"It's been like this since ancient times, from Qin Shi Huang to Wu Zetian...... The Empress Dowager Cixi is a new version of Wu Zetian. ”

"My grandson hasn't read for a few days, regardless of these ancient emperors, I only say this Manchu court. Now, I am also the commander of the National Revolutionary Army, are we the disciples of Mr. Sun Yat-sen? ”

"Of course! A few days ago, I accompanied Mr. Chang to pay tribute to Mr. Zhongshan in Biyun Temple in Xiangshan. The Prime Minister's last words: peace, struggle, save China! Qi Yuanshan spilled the wine in the cup on the ground, "The late life is unforgettable, and he vows to fight for the rest of his life." ”

"What's Mr. Nakayama's last name?"

"Do you need to ask? The surname is Sun. ”

"My surname is Sun!" Sun Dianying toasted again, "Naturally, we must inherit Mr. Zhongshan's revolutionary legacy." My grandson is not a random relative, although I was born recklessly, but I am also loyal to the aftermath, my ancestor is the Ming Dynasty Liaodong Jingluo Sun Chengzong. ”

"Sun Chengzong?" Qi Yuanshan was familiar with the history books, and immediately remembered this name, "But the national hero who guarded Liaodong, promoted Yuan Chonghuan, and resisted the Manchu Qing Dynasty?" ”

"My ancestor was martyred in Gaoyang, Zhili, and none of the more than 100 people from all over the family surrendered, all of them were killed, and Emperor Chongzhen also shed tears for it."

Qi Yuanshan thought that there were a lot of people who recognized their ancestors in these years, and Yuan Shikai, a native of Henan, almost recognized Yuan Chonghuan, a native of Guangdong, as his ancestor, so he could only hold his fists and say: "Your Excellency the military commander is really a martyr." ”

"Compared with my ancestors, my grandson Dianying is ashamed! Brother Yuanshan, when it comes to revolution, whose life did Mr. Zhongshan spend the first half of his life reforming? ”

"Naturally, it is the fate of the Manchu Dynasty."

Sun Dianying tugged on Qi Yuanshan's sleeve and said: "There is a wrongdoer, there is a debtor, who is the chief leader of the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

"Empress Dowager Cixi!"
