Chapter 18 foreign monk

There is an inn in Anqing, which faces south from the north, and the gate faces the slope on Yaojiakou Cross Street. You walk in at mealtime and see people coming and going.But no one pays attention to you, you knock on the table: "Dude! Order!" After a long time, someone said from a distance: "If you are staying in the hotel, go to the back to see if there is any vacancy. Please eat outside on the street. This shop has been closed for quite some time." Isn't it?The shop was full of customers, but none of them was eating. They just walked around and talked loudly and quietly.

This inn is called Ping Cui Lou.Everyone knows that the Tongxing Tavern in Huangtupo, Wuchang, is the stronghold of the Gongjinhui, which specially recruited brothers from the New Army to join the club, which led to the Wuchang Incident.The qualifications of Pingcuilou are much older than Tongxing Tavern. After the Wuchang Incident on August 19, the Pingcui Building, which was already very prosperous, became even more lively, full of people, and guests who spoke dialects from all over Anhui came in and out here, and some people closed the door for meetings when they came in. The boss and shopkeeper of another inn usually sits at the counter, while doing accounts, while looking at the store, whether the staff is lazy, and whether the guests are not well served.Bi Shaozhai, the owner of Pingcui Building, also sits at the counter during the day, but he has nothing to do, except to say hello to acquaintances and customers, he is simply a hands-off shopkeeper.

Only when he saw some people coming in, he could not help complaining in a low voice in Shouxian dialect: "Why don't you do anything? If you don't do anything, my store will be closed!" People who don't know what's going on here can't help but wonder: How can such a good business be closed?But of course obedient people know the details, and they always smile: Boss Bi, don't worry, hurry up!Soon! It opened in the first year of Xuantong, and it has been in operation for more than two years. There are ten or twenty rooms, including accommodation and three meals, and it only costs two cents.From the day it opened, it can be said that customers have come like a cloud, but it has been losing money every month.Because there are too many regular customers who live for several months, occupying the room, eating and drinking every day, and occasionally the newcomers are ignorant, and when they ask for the bill, they always nod: "Pay the bill." !" The clerk looked back at the owner at the counter, and the owner was also nodding, so what else could he say?

It’s fine to live and eat for free, but when you leave, you might even go to the counter and put your hands together, and the host will obediently take out two or three strings of copper coins from the money box and hand them over.Such a bold way of opening a store, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they can't help but consume them. At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn in the third year of Xuantong, the store could not even open for food.The strange thing is that the Pingcui Building is not closed, and the door is open every day, and there are still a lot of customers.Boss Bi is still sitting at the counter, with nothing to do and no account to keep.Regular customers still come back to stay in the store every day, go out to do errands every day, and sometimes close the door and mutter.It's just that the important task of eating is missing, and the shop is inevitably smoky and cold.But the popularity is still very strong, the boss opened the store hungry, the customers stayed in the store hungry, and the staff almost didn't use it. Everyone packed their own bedding, which was refreshing.

After waiting with great difficulty for September 9th, the door of Pingcui Building was slammed on early.The shop was full of people, including representatives of the New Army's 61st and 62nd horses, artillery and engineering battalions, the Army Primary School, and the Army Surveying and Mapping School.The host was from Hefei, named Wu Chunyang.Standing beside him was a small black-faced man with a Jiangsu accent. Many people recognized him as Han Yan who held a reading club in Anqing. The experience of rebellion in Anqing in the late Qing Dynasty was the highest among all provinces. In 1907, Xu Xilin started an incident, and in 1908, when Xiong Chengji held a righteous cause, the sound of gunfire and gunfire still echoed in the ears of a group of citizens.Only in this way, the Qing government took extremely strict precautions against Anqing, and in the first two uprisings, the military elites in Central Anhui also suffered huge losses.Wu Chunyang and Han Yan also knew that relying on the strength of the new army alone was not enough. After the Wuchang Incident, they contacted the patrol battalion and the guards of the Fushun, the Governor of Anhui Zhu Jiabao, in various ways, hoping to cooperate internally and externally.

But history tells us that this uprising still failed—it’s a pity that Boss Bi’s painstaking efforts in opening the store.The reasons are roughly: the leaders are incapable, sick, and afraid; someone informs; the fifth battalion Jiangfang Army requested by the governor to Nanjing has arrived. However, the situation changed rapidly. A few days later, news came that Shanghai and Jiangsu had recovered successively, followed by Jiujiang on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River declaring independence.In the province, Shouxian County in northern Anhui and Wuhu in southern Anhui have established their own military governments. "The governor of Anhui's decree can no longer leave the gate of Anqing at this time."

The road before Zhu Jiabao, the governor, is nothing more than fleeing like Ruicheng in Hubei, or being independent like Cheng Dequan in Jiangsu, or else, Lu Zhongqi in Shanxi will end up dead. In the face of the joint pressure from the revolutionaries, the chairman of the Consultative Council, and the representatives of the gentlemen, Zhu Jiabao was very stubborn, and said some hard words about "eating the money of the Qing Dynasty, loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, the survival and survival of the city, and the death and death of the city" , And he said that he would "severely hunt down party members."At this time, Tong Yifang, the representative of the gentlemen, said that the arrest of party members would lead to "the whole city will be destroyed."

Why?One is that the party members are "carrying violent bombs." Such rumors may scare the common people and officials in remote areas. If the governor of Anhui was afraid of this, how could the September 9 uprising be suppressed?The key point is still in another sentence: "Party members are all young people with lofty ideals, and the children of Wan people are well known by all the fathers and elders of Wan." Zhu Jiabao is from Huaning, Yunnan.The empire did not allow people from the province to be magistrates, and naturally formed a pattern of "co-government by officials and gentry".Even Zhu Jiabao, who was appraised by his colleagues as a "hard-working and straightforward man", everything depends on the affection of the local gentry.Moreover, since the resurgence of Tongzhi, there have been many high-ranking officials from Anhui. Those who come here to serve as parents and officials from other places should not be very careful?

The most famous one is that Sun Yujun planned an incident in Anhui in 1906 to cooperate with the Ping Liu Li uprising.This is conspiracy and rebellion, a heinous crime, which also alarmed Duan Fang, the governor of Liangjiang. It was the University of Martial Yingdian, Minister of State, and the General Department of Compilation and Official System who approved the establishment of the "Zhizhengyuan" to be established. It is said that this 80-year-old man will be the president.How can this kind of "children from Anhui people" move?Therefore, Duanfang had no choice but to sentence Sun Yuyun to five years in prison, and shut him down for "reading and repenting" in Liangjiang Governor's Yamen.

Let go of the arrest of party members.But Zhu Jiabao didn't want to and didn't dare to be the governor and declare independence.His worries were the same as Cheng Dequan's worries about not allowing Suzhou to recover. The Qing soldiers in Nanjing were too close to Anqing! A sealed telegram relieved Zhu Jiabao from the siege.The secret telegram was sent from Zhangde, Henan, and the generator was Yuan Shikai, who was about to become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.Yuan Shikai advised Zhu Jiabao to "adapt to the current situation and wait for changes, and not stick to books to form opinions, which will hinder the overall situation."This couldn't be more clear: the independence of the provinces is the general trend, instead of letting the party members or gentry win the high position of governor, why should our own family wait for changes-of course, this can only be said in private.Zhu Jiabao understood and declared independence on September 18 (November 8).

The revolutionaries in Anhui were not satisfied with this result—their uprising on September 9 was not for Zhu Futai's persuasion.However, the revolutionary forces in the Anhui New Army had already been dispersed by Zhu Jiabao using the Jiang Defense Battalion, and many people even fled Anqing.Deputy Governor Wang Tianpei is a non-commissioned officer student studying in Japan, and he is very close to the Revolutionary Party, but he has no military power and cannot pull Zhu Jiabao. So there was Wu Chunyang's "borrowing soldiers". Borrowing soldiers has been dangerous since ancient times.Just imagine which person who holds military power is a vegetarian?If you, Babaer, invited him to come, how could he help you beat away the opponent, so that everyone will be happy and return to the imperial court?Didn't the world of the Qing Dynasty come from Wu Sangui's so-called "borrowing troops"?Therefore, Zhao Liewen, Zeng Guofan's aide, said that the Qing Dynasty "gained the country by a coincidence", and sooner or later there would be retribution. According to Wu Chunyang's ideal, it would be best if Li Yuanhong in Wuchang could lend arms to the "One Mixed Association"—there are people in Anhui, but there are not enough arms, so they are subject to the Jiang Defense Camp.Once the governor of Anhui changes hands, more than 10,000 new Huai troops can be assembled, via Yingzhou and Bozhou, and go straight to Xinyang Prefecture in Henan Province, so that Feng Guozhang's Beiyang Army can't look at each other from head to toe. Not only can Anhui be stabilized, but the siege of Wuchang will not attack itself. untie. But Li Yuanhong was really powerless to help Anhui.From north to south, which province is not looking for him?Either money or arms.Bodhisattva Li couldn't protect himself, so he had to send Zhan Dapei, the director of the Hankou Military Government Sub-Government, together with Wu Chunyang, to find the "Xunjun" in Jiangxi to borrow troops. Ma Yubao, the governor of the Xun army, was very happy, and immediately sent a brigade commander named Huang Huanzhang to lead two thousand Xun troops into Anhui.Wu Chunyang took the first step, and when he arrived in Anqing, Wuhu urgently called him, asking him to preside over the uprising.Wu Chunyang believed that Anqing was presided over by Wang Tianpei and the Xun army was helping him. Wuhu was the only place to attack Nanjing, and he wanted to recover as soon as possible, so he left Anqing and rushed to Wuhu. The Wuhu matter was not difficult to handle, but Wu Chunyang received an urgent telegram from Anqing after Wuhu was established: Huang Huanzhang surrounded the governor's mansion, robbed the ordnance office, burned the feudal administration, ransacked the feudal treasury, and the whole city was corrupted. The arrival of Xun's army was indeed effective, and Zhang Xun's Jiangfang Fifth Battalion immediately withdrew to Pukou without any exchange of fire.However, in line with the proverb that "the front door drives away the tiger, and the back door enters the wolf", Huang Huanzhang refused to station outside Anqing City, occupied Anqing Normal School by force, and demanded 10,000 yuan from the Consultative Council.The speaker said that if the money cannot be gathered for a while, 2,500 yuan will be paid first, and then the salary will be raised.Huang Huanzhang's troops disagreed and immediately mutinied. On September 24 (November 14), the Xun army mutiny, mainly composed of "Hongjiang bandits", not only drove away the governor Zhu Jiabao, Huang Huanzhang claimed to be the commander-in-chief, and two days later Inside, "the rich and wealthy households in the city were raided and robbed, and none of them were spared, and the public and private lost three million." By the time Wu Chunyang rushed back to Anqing on November 18, the city was already in chaos, the streets were in disarray, and people were terrified, no less than when Mao Mao entered the city.Wu Chunyang from Hefei was "extremely angry" because he invited these beasts!He went directly to Huang Huanzhang's headquarters to reprimand Huang Huanzhang face-to-face, but everyone around him pulled him, saying that Huang Huanzhang was ambitious, how could he enter the tiger's den lightly?Wu Chunyang replied angrily: "Huang Huanzhang used the guise of the militia to join the thieves, trample on our land and abuse our people. Anhui has always been known as a man of lofty ideals. So far, no one has spoken up for justice?" When Wu Chunyang returned to Anqing, the Wuhu military government branch expressed its willingness to send troops to join him, but Wu believed that the war between the two armies would increase the suffering of the people, so he decided to reprimand Huang Huanzhang alone.Huang Huanzhang was indeed detained by Wu Chunyang with words, and he was worried that Wu would sue Ma Yubao in Jiangxi, so he promised to return the ordnance, treasury bank and merchants' property in person.Wu Chunyang left satisfied.But the villain was capricious, and Wu went back the next day, only to be greeted by seven bullets. Wu Chunyang also expected this ending.The night before, he wrote a letter to inform all the comrades in Anqing City to evacuate the city to avoid being wiped out. He also conceived a desperate poem, which was disturbed for a while and did not end.He died the next day, along with Bi Dahuai, a knight-errant who volunteered to escort him. The death of Wu Chunyang shocked the whole Anhui, and the soldiers of the new army scattered everywhere spontaneously gathered to return to Anqing to avenge Wu Chunyang.At the same time, the letter of petition from the Anqing gentry was also delivered to Jiujiang.This incident not only caused the two provinces of Anhui and Jiangxi to be in dire straits, but also indirectly hurt the face of Li Yuanhong in Hubei. Ma Yubao did not dare to be careless and sent Chief of Staff Li Liejun to Anqing to clean up the mess.Li Liejun came to serve as the temporary governor of Anhui for a few days. After sending Huang Huanzhang's troops back to Jiangxi, he also claimed to be going to Wuchang to help in the war, so he abandoned his position and left. The position of the governor was vacant, and the Anqing party members and gentry spontaneously organized a "temporary provincial council". On October 22 (December 12), Sun Yuyun was voted as the governor of the Anhui Army. At the same time, the headquarters of the Shanghai Chinese Revolutionary League also elected Sun Yuyun As the governor of the Anhui Army, as well as the Huaishang Army in Shouxian County, the Luzhou Military Government Branch, and the Wuhu Military Government Branch Government, they also supported him unanimously.Why is Sun Yuyun so supported?He is a veteran of the revolution, and he comes from an Anhui family, so he is acceptable in all aspects. At this time, Sun Yuyun had just been released by the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Allied Forces to recover Nanjing from the Yamen of the Governor-General of Liangjiang, and arrived in Shanghai.As soon as the special envoy from Anhui arrived, he set off to return to Anhui. There were inevitably some obstacles on the way, but in the end he came to Anqing to take up his post.Before leaving Shanghai, he wrote to a good friend in Hangzhou, asking him to come back to Anhui to help, because Sun Yuyun himself was led to the road of revolution in 1905 by this person. The recipient of the letter was Chen Zhongfu from the Army Elementary School. At that time, no one called him Chen Duxiu. After Chen Duxiu arrived in Anqing, it is said that he served as the Secretary-General of the Dudu Mansion, but in the records of the Republic of China government, he was only a "secretary".The Secretary Department of the Governor's Mansion wrote to President Sun Wen, requesting protection of Liu Guanghan (Liu Shipei), and Chen Duxiu's signature "Chen Zhong" was listed in the fifth place, which did not seem to be the person in power. Chen Duxiu's time under Sun Yuyun's command was not long.This may have something to do with his personality.According to Zhang Xiaocen, the section chief in charge of documents and sending and receiving of the Anhui Dudufu at that time, Chen Duxiu was "too impatient, and wanted to make political reforms right away, and often had quarrels with others for the sake of reforms. Whenever there was a meeting, he was the only one who was heard at the meeting. When speaking, she always insisted on her own opinion, and Sun Yuyun had no choice but to obey."It is natural that such a secretary is not easy to use, and it is not good to use it well. The more critical issue is: Bai Wenwei, who co-founded the "Yue Wanghui" with Chen Duxiu in 1905, wanted to compete with Sun Yuyun for the governorship.Whose side will Chen Duxiu be on?In terms of relationship and friendship, it is natural that Bai Wenwei is deeper, otherwise Bai would not have asked Chen Duxiu to be the Secretary-General of the Governor's Mansion after he became the governor, but it would be unfair for Chen Duxiu to invite Sun Yuyun back to Anqing.Chen Duxiu didn't stay in the Dudu Mansion for long, and he resigned to run Anhui Higher School. I suspect that it has something to do with his difficulty in dealing with Sun Bai. Bo Wenwei also had unspeakable difficulties.After Yue Wanghui was disbanded, he went to Nanjing to enlist in the army, and once served as the leader of the 2nd Battalion of the 33rd Brigade of the Ninth Town.After the Wuchang Incident, Bo Wenwei went south from Fengtian, instigated the Ninth Town to control Xu Shaozhen's uprising, attacked Nanjing, made great achievements, and was appointed as the commander of the First Army and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition.He didn't have to go back to Anhui to compete with Sun Yuyun for the governor. Perseveringly, the North and the South negotiated peace and finally succeeded.The dream of the Northern Expedition came to naught, and Bai Wenwei was stationed at Pukou, in an embarrassing position.Because of this, Zhang Jian and others couldn't tolerate the fact that troops from Anhui, Zhejiang and other provinces were stationed in Jiangsu, and they put forward the slogan of "Su people governing the Soviet Union" for local autonomy, making it difficult for guest troops to survive.At this time, Huang Xing ordered Bai Wenwei to lead the army to escort Sun Yuyun back to Anhui to eliminate local forces.Bo Wenwei felt that he was far above Sun Yuyun in terms of revolutionary qualifications and mastery of strength, so it was normal for him to move the governor's mind. In Bai Wenwei's own memoirs, this competition was written very magnificently: Sun Yuyun kept inviting Bai to come to Anhui, and even said that "the illness is dying, and the second son is entrusted with orphans", but Bai Wenwei refused, and came to Anqing. Sun found out that he was lying to him.Bai Wenwei said that Sun Yuyun's intention was to ask him to act as the governor of Anhui, so that Sun himself could take the opportunity to go to Beijing, contact Yuan Shikai, and "find another way out."Sun Yuyun was so eager to go to Beijing that without waiting for Bai Wenwei's consent, he called Beijing and asked Yuan Shikai to serve as Bai Wenwei as the acting governor of Anhui. So Bai "had to follow it", and later Bai Wenwei resigned several times, and wanted to return the governor to Sun Yuyun. ("Mr. Lie Wu's Revolutionary Conversation") When Bai Wenwei had this reminiscence conversation, the restoration of Hong Xian had long since ended, and Sun Yuyun had already become notorious as the "Six Gentlemen of the Chou Anhui", so it didn't matter what Bai Wenwei said about Sun's collusion with Yuan Shikai.Just imagine what kind of "outlet" Yuan Shikai can give Sun Yuyun, which is more attractive than being the governor of the province?Among the members of the Preparatory Committee, the old revolutionary party members, such as Hu Ying and Li Xiehe, who were not squeezed out by local comrades and had nowhere to go, so they went to Beijing to join Lao Yuan? Therefore, another theory may be more reliable: Bai Wenwei made rumors that Sun Yuyun smoked opium, did not work during the day and did not see customers, and secretly begged Huang Xing to transfer President Sun to appoint him as the governor of Anhui.Sun Wen replied that Bai Wenwei and Sun Yuyun were both revolutionary comrades and fellow villagers in Anhui, so let them discuss it themselves. So Bai Wenwei imitated Zhang Jian's old wisdom and put forward a slogan called "Wan people rule Anhui" - strange, Sun Yuyun is also from Anhui, or a prominent family, isn't it that Anhui people rule Anhui when he is the governor?There is a saying here.Bai Wenwei told people, Sun Yuyun is just Liu Adou, the real Zhuge Liang is Han Yan, the real power of the Dudu Mansion is held by Han Yan, this person is from Jiangsu, how can he govern Anhui?Sun Yuyun appointed outsiders, so he is not worthy to be the governor of Anhui. For a moment, Anqingcheng's eyes were all on the Jiangsu native. Han Yan was well-known in Anqing City before his restoration. He was in his forties and appeared as a beggar. Rong is not special among the Anqing beggar gang, but he has a beautiful wife in his twenties, Lin Hongye, which inevitably attracts the attention of others. Before liberation, the couple set up a bookstall in Pingcui Building, organized a reading club, and ran their own "Anhui Popular Gazette".After the liberation, they moved to Tong'an Cen Street. Han Yan began to show off at this time, painted the gate red, and inscribed the forehead as "Hongye Poetry Museum". So the secret of Han Yan and his wife was gradually spread.Han Yan is from Dantu, Jiangsu. He grew up in a poor family and determined to make progress. He was admitted to Jiangnan Higher School, but was expelled because of the student riot.At that time, Nantong Zhang Jian was in Jiangsu, and he appreciated it quite a lot.At this time, Yue Han was already a member of the alliance. There are two theories about why he left Beiyang.One is that Han Yan opposed Yuan Shikai's sending troops south to suppress the trend of the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway during the road protection movement, and wrote to the imperial court, criticizing Yuan for "planting power in the southeast with ulterior motives."Han Yan knew that this move would offend Lao Yuan, so he left immediately after writing the letter. After being recommended by Zhili Governor Yang Shixiang, he went to Anhui Governor Feng Xumu to continue to work as a copywriter. Another way of saying it is much more exciting.It is said that Yuan Shikai also appreciated Han Yan's literary talents and ordered him to teach the maids in the mansion to read. Han Yan took the opportunity to win over a maid and asked her to pay attention to eavesdropping on Yuan Shikai's daily secrets, especially those related to the Revolutionary Party.Later, Sun Yuyun was arrested in Nanjing for plotting a revolution. Han Yan was involved in the case, and Duan Fang, governor of Liangjiang, sent a secret telegram to Yuan Shikai to inquire.Han Yan and the servant girl knew that the incident had failed, so they learned the story of Li Jinghong and fled to Japan together.Han Yan named the maid Hongye, and the two married.This year Han Yan was forty-two years old and Hong Ye was twenty-four years old. Before the recovery, Han Yan was known as a public opinion expert and presided over the "Anhui Popular Bulletin". After Chen Duxiu's "Anhui Common Talk", he propagated the revolution and enlightened the people's wisdom, while exposing political shady scenes and criticizing officials for taking power, especially opposing the betrayal of Tongguanshan The mining rights were given to foreigners, which was quite taboo. Han Yan was assassinated and stabbed five times, but he survived. His political ability was manifested after the Xunjun Rebellion. At that time, Zhu Jiabao had left, Wu Chunyang died, and Li Liejun refused to take over the chaos. Anqing was in a power vacuum. Han Yan stepped forward and organized the "Anhui Province to Maintain Unification "Office", which was composed of the military administration, civil affairs, and finance departments of the former military government. Han Yan served as the secretary-general and became the de facto governor of Anhui.Han Yan said in the organization's initiating article: "The first-line republic sprouted here, and even the lives and properties of 30 million people in Anhui Province are the price of personal governors. The same people can't bear it. Take this seat and wait for the full meeting to be established. It is suitable for the nature of the republic to recommend talented people, such as Yu this alliance and others who seek the slightest profit, I will kill them with 400 million people." After Sun Yuyun took office, he still believed in Han Yan.Although Chen Duxiu is Sun Yuyun's old friend, I am afraid that Han Yan is not as powerful as Han Yan in the governor's mansion.At this time, Han Yan initiated the establishment of "Anhui Ship Daily". Some people said that Han Zi was the president and Chen Duxiu was the editor-in-chief.However, some people, such as Zhang Xiaocen, said that Chen Duxiu had high vision and looked down on Han Yan. At that time, there were many people in Anqing who spoke ill of Han Yan, saying that he spoke in a disorganized manner, scolded people without restraint, said that he manipulated the governor, and took power for himself. rogue'".This kind of situation inevitably makes people feel sad. The "Anhui Boat" founded by Han Yan has disappeared today. We only know that he published a poem for the comrades of the newspaper in the first issue: "Huaining Station Pass The waves are surging, and the sound of ten thousand horses There is a pole in the middle mao, and I send a message to the gentlemen to sit still, the future is dark and the wind is high." And Han Yan's most talented and most hated career is not running a newspaper, but organizing a youth army. Han Yan experienced the whole process of Anhui's recovery and witnessed the tragic death of his comrade Wu Chunyang. Of course, he saw the crux of the problem: the revolutionaries did not have their own army.From Wuchang to Shanghai, from Luanzhou to Tongzhou, the revolutionaries have been trying to "move" the new army to rise up, or to incorporate the party, but these armies have no spiritual guidance, and there is no strict organization, so they are easily defeated. It is easy to be separated, and it is also easy to corrupt. Zhang Jian and Yuan Shikai's appreciation for Han Yan was not for a literary young man with great poetic talent. They both believed that this young man was a genius of the great age.He is. Han Yan founded the Youth Army centered on the students of Army Elementary School, Surveying and Mapping School and Shangzhi School.He doesn't want a new army, he doesn't want to know the party, and he doesn't want soldiers who are dedicated to food. On this point, he and his opponent Bai Wenwei have the same heart: to maintain the purity of the revolutionary ranks. At the beginning, the youth army consisted of seven or eight hundred people, divided into three brigades, each with a captain and a military supervisor.Above the three brigades, there is a general captain and a chief military supervisor. What is a military inspector?It sounds very similar to the ancient military supervisor, but in fact the military supervisor "in charge of the military's government orders and cultural and educational matters", that is, the role of the party representative in the Northern Expedition Army and the political commissar in the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Han Yan served as the chief military supervisor himself, and the military supervisors of the three brigades were all cultural people who were valued by the times, such as Yi Baisha. The military flag of the Youth Army is neither the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag nor the five-color flag, but a large yellow "person" on a red background to show that the army pursues humanitarianism. Han Yan gave speeches to all team members twice a week, and wrote 14 lectures of "Youth Army Handouts", one volume per person.When each student enlists in the army, he must fill out a volunteer form, requiring obedience to discipline, and determined to dedicate himself to the revolution. In Han Yan's lectures to the youth army, he repeatedly said, "It's true that people with lofty ideals don't need money, but everyone with lofty ideals needs to use their money. It's true that people with lofty ideals don't want to eat, but everyone with lofty ideals needs to eat." From top to bottom in the youth army, everyone With an allowance of eight yuan per month, "the food is the same as the top and bottom, and they have to take turns to carry water and buy vegetables, and sometimes they have to work collectively to collect firewood and build roads." Han Yan also organized a publication called "Blood News" specially for the youth army. The publication said: "If you destroy with words, you will wash the world with blood; if you build with words, you will build mountains and rivers with blood." Blood splattered right and wrong." It can be said that Han Yan created a truly modern army.Yuan Shikai's small station training, the equipment of the Beiyang Army is not unsophisticated, but when it comes to the promotion of ideas, it is nothing more than the old ethics of "loyalty to the emperor and service to the commander".For a modern soldier with knowledge and culture, this kind of values ​​is far from enough for him to serve the battlefield and realize the meaning of life. This youth army is directly under the governor Sun Yuyun.It's a pity that Han Yan didn't get to see the day when Ji Feng tried. In February of the first year of the Republic of China, the dispute between Sun Bai entered a fierce stage.Since Bai Wenwei proposed in a high-profile manner that "the Anhui people govern Anhui", well, a group of celebrities led by Gao Yuhan and others "jointly invited Han Yan to join Anhui Taihe County" and held a "Welcome to Anhui" at the Xingmin Theater at the North Gate of Anqing. Han Yan Naturalization Conference". Han Yan, who became a native of Anhui, wrote consecutive articles in "Anhui Ship", scolding Bai Wenwei for not wanting to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, but instead robbing the land and focusing on getting promoted and making a fortune.Bai Wenwei did not show weakness, and ordered his subordinates to write a large telegram to attack each other with Han Yan. (I guess those pens under Bai Wenwei's command can't scold Han Yan.) After a few days, Han Yan compiled the telegrams into "Five-Day Negotiation Notes", printed it as a booklet and distributed it to the outside world.This method with the color of the French Revolution completely angered Bai Wenwei.He realizes that although he has military power, Sun Yuyun has Han Yan, Han Yan has "Anhui Ship" and the youth army, and the competition for the governor will become a cake. Bai Wenwei sent his nephew Bai Ruohao to assassinate Han Yan near the "Hongye Poetry Hall".Sure enough, Sun Yuyun lost Han Yan, and was no longer able to compete with Bai Wenwei, so he had to give up the position of governor and went to Beijing to sit on the bench. After Bo Wenwei came to power, he immediately stopped running "Anhui Boat", disbanded the youth army, and burned the "herringbone flag" in public.However, in the last few issues of "Anhui Ship", "Report Han Jun's deeds and ask for sympathy", Zhong Yun: "Han Jun lived as a beggar and fulfilled his national duties...he stopped toil and sacrificed state affairs It is really not inferior to the martyrs Xiong Chengji and Fan Chuanjia.” Some people say that the writer of this article is Chen Duxiu, who will be the secretary-general of the Dudu Mansion and who is said to not think highly of Han Yan. In extraordinary times, dead people are very common, even for such influential figures as Han Yan.Along with the Second Revolution, Ni Sichong, the governor of Anhui Province appointed by Yuan Shikai, captured Anqing. Who still remembers this little Jiangsu native with ragged clothes and a beard?Perhaps the young army cadets who were disbanded still left behind the "Youth Army Handouts" written by him, which read, "He will fight for the general's order with his death, and I will fight for the right and wrong of the world with my death... and I am alone in the world." , the starting point of cosmopolitanism".
