Years of the Republic of China 1913

Chapter 2 Butterfly Wings

Huang Xing was assassinated, shocking the whole country.Whether it was President Yuan Da in Beijing or Sun Wen and others who were still in Japan, they were all shocked by this incident, and telegrams from all over the country flew to Shanghai like snowflakes.In particular, President Yuan Da, Premier Zhao and other government dignitaries severely ordered Cheng Dequan, governor of Jiangsu Province, and local ministries to quickly arrest the murderer and deal with them strictly according to the law to maintain the country's discipline!At the same time, all kinds of rumors and gossips outside are flying all over the sky. It is said that a well-informed person reported to the patrol room that Samurai Ying and Ying Kuicheng are just pawns in this case, and there is a secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs behind them. Hong Shuzu participated, as for being behind Hong Shuzu's back... and so on, anyway, they can say anything.

Fang Zida, who was quietly hiding on Leishangda Road, avoided all this leisurely. He just walked around in the small garden every day, basking in the sun, reading newspapers, drinking Longjing, or spending time with Song Jiaoren, Liao Zhongkai and others chatted. Fang Zida was still a little reluctant to let go of these historical celebrities at first, but after a long time, he got used to it, and everyone was not far apart in age and had similar personalities. Friends usually chat about everything, and talk about almost everything. This kind of bragging and farting life is not bad.

A few days later, former KMT Prime Minister Sun Wen hurried back to Shanghai from Japan, and presided over Huang Xing’s funeral together with Song Jiaoren, the current acting chairman. Also ask someone to send a wreath or send a proxy to attend.On that day, Fang Zida was also invited by Song Jiaoren and others to send a wreath to Huang Xing.

Everyone was grieving, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely depressing. Except for some celebrities and representatives of government officials who attended the funeral in robes or suits, the KMT people present were all wearing the same black school uniforms, with white flowers on their chests, and stood solemnly. Putting on a pair of sunglasses, Fang Zida seemed to be at the funeral of a modern society leader.When Huang Xing's coffin was slowly buried, the surroundings were crying bitterly.Sun Wen, who stood side by side with Song Jiaoren in front of the head, burst into tears and couldn't make a sound.

"I killed Wu Luzhen the year before last, Zhang Zhenwu last year, and Huang Keqiang this year. You said it was Ying Guixin, he said it was Hong Shuzu, but I said it was Yuan Shikai!" Crying and crying, Fang Zida recognized Chen Qimei as the leader. At this moment, Song Jiaoren frowned, while Sun Wen beside him nodded solemnly.

"My lords! Brother Keqiang has unfortunately encountered such a catastrophe. The matter has come to an end, and the only way is to raise troops! Yuan Shikai is the president, and the assassination of the president cannot be solved by law, and the only solution is force! Work hard! Our revolution went on and on to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China was established today, but now there is another revolution, and we will use the fighting spirit of the revolution to protect the orthodoxy of China and the righteousness of the nation! Brother Keqiang died before he left the army , the great achievements of the heroic spirit are not far away, and the awe-inspiring righteousness hangs down the world...!"

Sun Wen's sudden bombardment on the spot stunned everyone. Except for Chen Qimei, who had stood up and stood up, and the others loudly supported and strongly agreed, most of the people were either stunned on the spot, or hurriedly tried to dissuade them. The government's provisional agreement has been finalized, and KMT will go north to form a cabinet soon. Mr. Sun must not be so impulsive.In particular, Liao Zhongkai, Hu Hanmin, Yu Youren and others tried hard to persuade them: "The facts of Keqiang's case are still unclear, and the legal solution is still in progress. The war must not be started lightly." As for those who came to Some of the spectators were astonished, some turned pale with fright, and some hurriedly retreated, and the whole scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Yixian, brother Keqiang's heart aches when he dies, but force is absolutely unacceptable!" Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Song Jiaoren, the acting director, stepped forward and persuaded loudly.

"Dunchu! Isn't the difficulty of defeating the strong enough to prove it? Sober up and Dunchu! Don't you still have illusions about the murderer in Beijing?" Sticker in his hand paused forcibly, and Sun Wen was awe-inspiring. , raised eyebrows and asked.

"Brother Yixian, this case is complicated and confusing. Is it too hasty to identify Yuan Xiangcheng as the murderer with only a few guesses? What's more, even if it was Yuan Xiangcheng's actions, it must be solved by force? Now that the Republic of China was founded, the republic was hard-won. The foundation of China is not stable, and all industries are waiting to be prosperous, so we must not lightly start the war." Song Jiaoren sincerely advised: "If the north and the south are fighting together, it will be a disaster for the people of China, and the people will be displaced. And we wait for the day of constitutional government It will be indefinitely far away, now that there are great powers outside, and there are worries inside, how will China rise again? Brother Keqiang, in the spirit of heaven, would not be willing to agree. In my opinion, this matter should be left to the law first. It’s not too late to make a decision after I search the truth carefully, think twice! Think twice, Yixian!”

"Hmph! One left and one right, brother Dunchu has said so much, I'm afraid he's still reluctant to be the prime minister?" Before Sun Wen could speak, Chen Qimei sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to do it when the time comes?" Prime Minister, will he become the next Huang Keqiang?"

"There is no fear of death!" Song Jiaoren patted his chest and replied loudly without hesitation: "Before, there were six gentlemen who shed blood during the reform, and after that, countless revolutionary comrades of mine went forward, and now Brother Keqiang is sleeping here again. During the revolution, why were you afraid of a word of death? It was only for the word "national! Even death can't take away our ambition!"

Chen Qimei blushed, and was about to retort, but Sun Wen raised his hand to stop him, looking at Song Jiaoren with clear eyes and firm expression: "Dun Chu, Dun Chu... Do you think it is possible to conspire with tigers and wolves? Childish! Really childish!" As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away with a cold snort. As soon as Sun Wen left, Chen Qimei and others hurriedly followed, and the rest of the KMT people looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a moment of hesitation they followed suit one by one.

That night, Song Jiaoren came to Leishangda Road in a tired body. Seeing Fang Zida sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, he sat down with a forced smile and asked apologetically, "Mr. Keqiang's funeral is over today. We are going to continue our journey to the north in the future, I wonder what brother Zhang Ming is going to do?"

"Brother Dunchu will go north in the future? Then Mr. Zhongshan..." Fang Zida put down the newspaper and asked in surprise.

"Ignore him!" Song Jiaoren waved his hand, took the cigarette handed by Fang Zida and lit it: "Yixian has always been too impulsive in his actions, politics is not done like this, not to mention that after the Keqiang incident, the hearts of the whole country were fluctuating, and all parties The people are even more panicked, I am afraid that what happened today has spread all over the world, at this moment I must go north as soon as possible to calm people's hearts."

"But with Mr. Zhongshan's prestige in your party... just in case... just to be prudent, I think that even if Brother Dun Chu wants to go north, he has to have a good talk with Mr. Zhongshan first. It will not be too late to leave after the two sides reach an agreement." Fang Zida pondered for a moment, and kindly persuaded him.

"No need! I'm still the chairman of kmt!" It seemed that after the funeral, there was another quarrel within the party over Sun Wen's proposal of a solution by force. Song Jiaoren, who was a little angry, lost his temper and took a few mouthfuls Yan, he slowly calmed down again, thought carefully and sighed: "Okay, I'll have a good talk with Yixian again."
