    Chapter 362 Changes in Situation

    "A gunshot at Shanghai Railway Station and poisonous bullets took away Song Jiaoren's life and shattered Song Jiaoren's dream of going north to form a cabinet. //www.// (dukan ka nIn the past two years, people have been obsessed with questioning  Who was the mastermind behind the killing of Song Dynasty marginalized Song Jiaoren's constitutional concept: people remember that some revolutionaries had to resort to traitorous means to save the country, but they forgot that Song Jiaoren could cooperate with the Qing Dynasty to defend the country; people knew that the Alliance would  Factional disputes are difficult to reconcile, but they have forgotten that Song Jiaoren tried to unite the revolutionary party with democratic rules of procedure; people are more familiar with Sun Yat-sen's "second revolution" for Song Jiaoren's case, but forget that it was this revolution that separated Yuan Shikai from the revolution.  The Song Jiaoren faction completely turned their backs, making it impossible for Song Jiaoren¡¯s unfinished dream of democratic constitutionalism to be realized When people re-read Song Jiaoren, they are not obsessed with the truth of the "Song case", but are trying to ask why the correct concept verified by history failed to  Was it realized in China today?

    History is kind to China. Two years after a gunshot ended China's dream of constitutionalism, the dawn of constitutionalism once again shined on China. Following Song Jiaoren, Mr. Li Zicheng was gradually promoting his own rule in Longhai.  In the end, his ideas affected the country. After reopening Congress, President Yuan Shikai invited him to go north to form a cabinet. It seemed that history really loved the Chinese people so much, and it seemed that China had really entered a new era of history.

    When people were full of longing for China's future, on May 2, 1915, the gunfire of Zhang Yuan in Shanghai ruthlessly shattered people's longing for the future. The clouds of war followed Zhang Yuan's gunfire.  , shrouding the sky over this troubled eastern country.

    The three gunshots were a profound and ominous signal.  It tells the Chinese people: The Republic is facing a serious crisis.

    After the gunshot, people were paying attention to the injury of Mr. Li Zicheng, who was in the position of "I don't want to be a prince, but I want China to prosper." On the other hand, people were more concerned about the death of nearly 200,000 people after the gunshot.  The trends of the Jiangsu Army, and now the news I have received is that the Jiangsu Army has been mobilized!

    As a reporter and a foreigner here, out of concern for the situation in China, I need to remind the Chinese people that this is a moment that requires calmness and wisdom.  In the face of a serious crisis, panic, shouting, and various turbulent scenes are most likely to occur. However, history has proven more than once that when a crisis comes, what is most needed is calmness and foresight.  Otherwise, the normal process will be disrupted and the consequences will be disastrous.

    It¡¯s the parliament!

    Or war!

    It is a historical choice for the Chinese people!  "

    "Illustrated" Ludowic?  Nordo's "Crisis!"  China!  ¡·

    On May 2, 1915, three gunshots were fired in Zhangyuan, Shanghai, which was an ominous signal with profound meaning.  It tells the Chinese people: The Republic is facing a serious crisis.

    As soon as the crisis broke out, people turned their attention to Huangpu Hospital, and also to the Jiangsu Army barracks in Jiangsu and the Jiaoao Special Zone. The Jiangsu Army, among the armies of all provinces last year,  , the only military force that required an oath of "loyalty to the country and obedience to the law" when serving, was once regarded as a model force for the future "Chinese Communist Party". This army was called the "backbone of the Republic of China" by the people and the "Chinese Army" by Western observers.  The troops "symbol of modern military power" suddenly became the object of the world's attention.

    Just as people praised before, after the crisis broke out, this unit responded immediately. Officers on leave returned to the unit one after another without receiving the telegram, and soldiers in the military camp immediately responded after hearing the news.  Returning to the military camp, each unit immediately distributed ammunition to the soldiers, opened the weapons depot, and inspected heavy weapons. Nearly 200,000 Jiangsu Army troops completed war preparations in just a few hours.

    Angry, this army was completely enveloped in unprecedented anger.  No one knows what will happen next.

    "We have fought bloody battles for our country, and our strategic leaders have even sacrificed our lives for the country. But how the country repays us is three bullets!"

    Angry, they had no choice but to be angry. The Jiangsu Army was the only army that swore allegiance to the country and was also the only army willing to take responsibility for the country. However, what they saw was their sacrifice and their sacrifice.  The only reward for the effort was three bullets fired at Li Zicheng.

    Anger filled every corner of this army. Soldiers, officers, especially junior officers were all shouting "revenge", and all were shouting to use actions instead of words.

    Qingdao, this city became famous in China because of the "Jiaoao Incident". Six months ago, traces of the war could be seen in many places in the city. After the armistice, Qingdao's large-scale reconstruction, under the guidance of German engineers  Under the new planning and through the efforts of more than 30,000 construction workers, before the Spring Festival, the people who had lost their houses and lived in thousands of tents had moved into new homes that had been re-planned and designed. At this time, QingdaoThere are almost no traces left by the war, and the distinction between Chinatown and European port here has also disappeared. This city that has returned to China is no longer a place where Chinese people stop, and the city's planning has also tended to be unified.  , the planning regulations of Oubu during the rule of virtue were expanded to every corner of the city.

    With the end of the war, a large number of businessmen who left Qingdao due to the war returned to Qingdao one after another. The shops that had gone out of business had long since reopened. The market in Qingdao, which had been somewhat deserted during the war, began to become lively again, and with the passage of several years  The expansion of several new factories, especially Sifang Machine Tool Factory, Qingdao Shipyard, and Qingdao Port, made the city more lively and prosperous than before the war.

    When night falls, street lights begin to light up on the main streets of Qingdao. These continuous street lights are like pearls in the night, illuminating the streets of Qingdao, a seaside city. These street lights are before the Spring Festival.  Funded by the Temporary Management Committee, street lights in Qingdao used to be limited to Oubu, but now street lights have been laid on every street in Qingdao.

    Under the illumination of the street lamp, a young man is walking quickly on the roadside. If anyone pays attention, you will see him looking at the surrounding environment with his peripheral vision from time to time. Although the young man is wearing casual clothes, looking at him  With his strong waist and strong posture, anyone can tell at a glance the identity of this young man. He is a soldier.

    The young man quickly turned into a dark alleyway. Under the cover of darkness, the young man came to the depths of the alleyway. Then he stood in front of a wooden door and gently clicked the door knocker a few times. The sound of the clicks was regular, obviously.  With the prior agreement, when the wooden door creaked, the young man stepped in sideways.

    At this time, there was no trace of light in the independent courtyard. When the young man pushed open the door of the main room in the independent courtyard, a ray of light came out. The young man walked into the house and closed it behind him.  The wooden door, which once revealed a ray of light, once again plunged into darkness.

    ¡°Only by eradicating corrupt officials can we achieve the goal of ¡°republican restoration¡± and building a new Japan.¡±

    Another young officer said in a deep voice.

    "Isn't it? The people are miserable, and so are the families of the soldiers! When we were fighting the Japanese on the Qingdao front line, many brothers' families were selling their sisters in exchange for food, and farmers were growing  They couldn't even eat the food they needed. They were starving and endured all this."

    The words of another young officer were met with a moment of silence from everyone. The officers gathered here today are not only the grassroots officers of the Jiangsu Army, but also officers from the Central Army and the Naval Battery. They all have one thing in common.  Point, young. Among these dozen officers, the youngest is only ten years old, and the elders are only twenty-two or three years old. Most of them are young officers who have just graduated from the Army Military Academy or the Officer Education Team of the Jiangsu Army Training Corps.  , and that's why they seemed so excited.

    "Everyone listen to me, the Economic and Strategic Envoy has been committed to changing the current situation of the country, but the Beiyang Group headed by Yuan Shikai has no intention of changing the country. The Economic and Strategic Envoy has been committed to solving domestic problems through consultation, but now, everyone has seen  , how they responded to the good intentions of the envoys, they responded with bullets and the most despicable and obscene assassination. We must not remain silent any longer!"

    "They are deaf. Only with the sound of our guns and cannons can they hear our voices. Now is the time for the military to take action. If China wants to be strong and prosperous, it must put its military first in the world, cultivate civil rights internally, and promote civil rights externally.  Fight for national power!¡±

    The voice under the light seemed very passionate, and several officers in the room nodded in agreement.

    While his colleagues were talking, Jiang Zhiqing was unexpectedly silent. He was also filled with anger about the "Zhang Yuan case", but compared to his colleagues, he felt that this matter was not as bad as everyone imagined.  Simple, to the extent that he prefers Yuan Shikai's explanation.

    But who sent someone to assassinate the envoy?  In his heart, there was an answer that kept appearing, but he was unwilling to face it.

    "The waves are turbulent in the Miluo Deep, and clouds are flying beside the Wushan Mountain; I am independent in the twilight world, and my indignation is burning and my blood is gushing"

    At this moment, singing burst out from Sheng Yi's voice. There was suppressed anger in his singing, and the young officers around him also sang along.

    "The powerful only know their proud family status, but there are really few people who care about the country; the rich and powerful only know how to boast and accumulate wealth, but they don't care about the country; the sage sees the decline of the country, and the fools are still dancing in the world. The rise and fall of governing chaos is like a dream,  The world is really like a game of chess; under the spring sky of republican restoration, children are united for justice! There are millions of soldiers in the chest, and they will die and leave their names for eternity; the decayed corpses cross over, and this body is fluttering in the clouds. Worry about the country and stand forward,  Men¡¯s singing starts from now on!¡­¡±

    They are no strangers to this song, evenIt can be said that in the past six months, this song has been the most popular in the army and among the people. The specific creator of this song called "Song of Young China" is unknown, but this song has penetrated deeply into young people, especially among young people.  It is the favorite of young officers. The mention of Miluo River and Li Sao in the book all shows that they have the same spirit of caring about the country and the people as Qu Yuan.

    "The sky is furious and the earth is shaking; the roaring is very loud; those who sleep in eternal tribulation cannot sleep; China is awakening today; look at the clouds hanging in the sky; and listen to the roar of the four waves, the opportunity for innovation has come, and the storm is sweeping China at night;  A desolate person between heaven and earth. I am confused and don¡¯t know where I am. I have praised my splendor in this world. Whose high-rise building can still be seen? Fame is just a trace in a dream, only sincerity will never be sold. Life is full of emotions, and no one can comment on success or failure; Li Sao  After singing a high song, the generous tragic song ends today. With the sharp sword at my waist, there is a pool of blood in the clearing sea!"

    After the song ended, Jiang Zhiqing repeatedly chanted the two lines in the song, "Fame is just a trace in a dream, only sincerity can never be sold." Finally, he raised his head and looked at the dozen officers in front of him. Among them, the one with the highest military rank  He is the one, but he is just a lieutenant colonel, and the others are just lieutenants, so what can they do?

    What can be changed?

    "There is no order! The army cannot be mobilized!"

    After a long sigh, everyone in the room fell silent. After that, several young officers punched the table with their fists angrily.

    "I have a sharp sword at my waist, and there is a pool of blood in the clearing sea!"

    "I have a sharp sword at my waist, and there is a pool of blood in the clearing sea!"

    When the warship sailed out of the Yingyou Gate and entered the channel, Xiao Baoheng, who was standing on the deck, murmured these two sentences in his heart. At this time, the patrol ship "Tongxin" was being pressurized, even though it was only a 3366-ton ship.  The protected cruiser is of extraordinary significance to both the Chinese Navy and its owner, the Jiangsu Army and Naval Forces.

    This protected cruiser is the prize of the Jiangsu Army. The whole process of capturing this protected cruiser was full of drama. It was originally a cruiser that provided escort for Japanese Army troops off the coast of Arashiyama. However, the main force of its fleet was attacked by the air force.  , in the process of avoiding the attack, it accidentally broke into the dark sand on the seabed near the mouth of the old Yellow River, causing the warship to run aground and capsize. When the Japanese merchant ship went to the rescue, more than 300 crew members, including Captain Kobayashi Kenzo and the following, were killed except for second-class sailors.  Okada and all but 15 machine soldiers were killed.

    At first, the Army Staff did not find the warship. It was not until more than a month later that fishermen discovered the warship capsized on the sandbank, which would appear at low tide. After dispatching personnel to inspect, the warship was determined to be  "Salvageable", and then the salvage began. After it was overhauled by Yingyoumen Shipyard, the warship was named "Tongxin" and became the first warship of the Jiangsu Army and Navy.

    "Xiao Baoheng, who graduated from the Etajima Naval War School, became the captain of the protected cruiser "Tongxin", and this trip to sea was his first mission. The previous trips to sea were just sea trials after maintenance.

    "It surprised me that¡­¡­"

    Originally, according to Xiao Baoheng's plan, after the warship completed its fifth sea trial, he would go to the capital and invite his colleagues to come to Jiangsu and join the Jiangsu Army Navy or the "Jiangsu Maritime Guard." Since the end of Guangxu, China  Since learning the navy from Japan, sixty-nine students have graduated from the second class of the driving class, and twenty-two have graduated from the first class of the management class. But like them, most of these people are serving in the Army Ministry. The reason is very simple. They are not from the Fujian system.  people, so the Navy refused to accept them.

    Xiao Baoheng, by chance, joined the Jiangsu Army as early as when the Jiangsu Army was founded. It was Han Wu and others who searched the entire Jiangsu Army and found him as a "naval officer" from the Joint Logistics Department of the Jiangsu Army Staff Headquarters.  But that's the only one. Just like now, in order to enrich the "Tongxin" protected cruiser, in addition to recruiting officers and soldiers from the army, he also had to borrow a group of sailors from the shipping company and the Merchant Marine School.  A dozen "officers."

    Although Xiao Baoheng himself graduated from the Etajima Naval Academy, which has the most rigorous training and study, and graduated with honors, most of the cadres on the "Tongxin" cruiser came from the Army. Two months ago, when the sea trials just started, there was a commotion.  Lots of jokes.  A month ago, the "Spider" gunboat of the British Navy's "China Fleet" was sailing from the Yangtze River to Weihaiwei. Off the coast of Lianyungang, it met the "Tongxin" which was undergoing sea trials.

    The British like to make some pretense and show off etiquette, so they fired a cannon salute in accordance with international practice, but the "Tongxin" did not respond. The British captain was surprised and went to visit the "Tongxin" and found the acting captain of the ship.  ¡ª¡ªA twenty-six-year-old army officer who had no idea that he had to receive guests.  The British guy left the Tongxin ship hungry, but he still followed the rules and stood at attention at the back of his motorboat, drew his sword, and used standard naval actions to attack the Tongxin ship."The sword-throwing salute", what he saw was not a return salute, but a group of sailors looking at him like monkeys, which made the British half-popular.

    In the end, the lawsuit went all the way to the capital and before Yuan Shikai. Navy Chief Liu Guanxiong scolded Xiao Baoheng and his subordinates for not even knowing basic naval etiquette. They were not allowed to wear navy uniforms to avoid dishonoring the navy's reputation, and even ordered them to take over the warships.  Leave it to the Navy.

    In the end, if Lao Yuan hadn't been afraid that this trivial matter would hinder his "big plan" and the lawsuit between the Navy and the Army Marine Corps would continue, in fact, Xiao Baoheng was still a very capable person.  The navy is a complex technical branch, but the "Tongxin" is full of landlubbers from the army. Xiao Baoheng is the one who takes the lead and teaches them step by step from training to military discipline. In order to enable them to master the warship as soon as possible, he cares about  It's just training. As for other things, he is too busy at all. He can't even be busy with normal training. How can he have time to teach those landlubbers about naval etiquette?

    In the end, he had no choice but to borrow a dozen rookies who had just graduated from the Merchant Marine School to join the "Tongxin". It was because of this that he avoided the same joke from happening again. It was also because of this that he could not wait.  He is preparing to go to the capital and other places to personally visit his classmates in order to draw them over and enrich the ranks of the "Army and Marine Corps".

    But unfortunately, we just bought the tickets here, but something happened over there in Shanghai, and now the Tongxin is sailing to Shanghai. Of course, it is not a violent demonstration, but to take the economic envoy back to Lianyungang.

    "I hope this is not the last step!"
