Chapter 36 After Chapter Fourteen "Inspiration"

The riots that lasted half a day and one night completely changed the appearance of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province! The 11th Battalion of the Patrol Army took the lead in mutiny, and the 4th Battalion, which had just moved from Yazhou to the frontier guards, followed up the mutiny; followed by the mutiny were several battalions of the army, more than a thousand armed patrols, and the police who maintained law and order in the city.At dusk, even comrades stationed in various temples and public places, many people were involved in the storm. The first to suffer after the riots were the relatively large-scale new financial institutions such as Daqing Bank, Junchuanyuan Bank, Tongshang Huigong Bank, and Railway Bank, as well as Tianshunxiang, Baofenglong, Baichuantong, Jinshengyuan, Risheng Thirty-seven bank accounts, donation accounts, and ticket accounts including Changchang, Xintaihou, Tianchengheng, and Xiexiqing.

Then, the most severe disasters, which caused fatal damage to the military government, were the treasury guarded by the army and the salt depot guarded by the salt patrol battalion.It was later found out that the cash lost by the fan treasury was more than 5 million yuan, and the cash lost by the salt storehouse was nearly 2 million yuan. Together with the cash lost by the banks, silver numbers, donation numbers, and ticket numbers, the public and private losses amounted to More than 8 million yuan, not including the gold leaves, gold bars, gold ingots of more than ten gold companies, and several bags of alluvial gold waiting to be melted.There is only one Sichuan mint left, for unknown reasons (some people have studied it, probably one is that it is located in the southeast corner of the city wall, that place is a dead corner, and there are few residents except for a Dongyue Temple on the left; sent military and police guards) to save the government from catastrophe, and saved more than 100,000 taels of silver for the government, and tens of thousands of silver coins with the dragon pattern of the old Qing Dynasty that have been cast.

Then, the ones suffering from light to heavy are Dongdajie, Quanyechang, Dashizi, Xiaoshizi, Shusuo Street, Zongfu Street, Huguangguan Street, and Cotton Street. These more than a dozen streets are known as prosperous businesses. .There are also some streets that are not very prosperous, such as Banbian Street by the Jinhe River, but because it is full of machine rooms and silk shops, at this time, the silk industry in Chengdu is very developed, and the silk shops are very prosperous. The signboards, couplets on Chinese New Year's cinnabar paper, and Suzhou-style hanging lamps are all written by famous artists, and the paintings are hand-painted with high style.Therefore, Banbian Street was "doomed", and some silk and satin shops were robbed especially severely.Only handicraft shops like Fu Longsheng Umbrella Shop have limited capital, and the goods are worthless, and who knows that the profit they make is only enough for the shopkeeper, clerk, and apprentice to eat and pay; if there is no business for a month, the boss The only way to eat up is to close the door and turn the stove down.Although this kind of shop is opened at a crossroads, it is insured, and no one is willing to ask for inspiration.However, when the enlightenment was in full swing, the shopkeeper Fu still panicked. Following the neighbors, he repeatedly shouted to Master Wang and Xiaosi to leave the way of life, and quickly got on the plank, closed the shop door, leaned against the gap, and opened his eyes. I closed my eyes and watched the movement on the street. When the gunshot rang out, my heart became tense and breathless.Later, he told people that because he was frightened and injured in the Zhitai Yamen on July 15th, "Mom! I knew that the mutiny was just robbing people, so why should I be afraid!"

In the first few hours of the afternoon, the team that played enlightenment was all soldiers.There used to be a man who was carrying river water in a tea shop, and many idlers crowded outside the Bank of Daqing to watch the excitement.Three patrolmen came out first.Just arrived at the street, and from some soldier's body, there was a bang, and a silver coin fell out.The leather seal burst, and gleaming silver coins rolled all over the street.The three soldiers hurried to pick it up.Because the left hand holds the gun, the three of them only use three right hands, so there is little time.The man who carried the water didn't know what the motive was, and he bent down to pick it up, even if he didn't say anything.He picked up a few just now, and suddenly he was hit hard on the back with the butt of a gun, hitting him like a dog.

A soldier scolded: "What a bastard, how dare you pick the heads of my fathers!" The second soldier cursed: "You son of a bitch will pick up the wealth that I have worked so hard to get!" The third one was even more crooked, grabbing the collar of the water bearer with one hand, and shouting fiercely: "Go! If you don't fix your turtles, I will become weak!" The three soldiers dragged the water bearer away to the north.Walking all the way, cursing all the way, hitting him with the butt of a gun all the way.The man who carried the water could only groan and groan, he couldn't even say "Deputy Lord, take care of me", his face was as gray as mud.

There were still more than a dozen gleaming white silver coins left on the stone slabs in the street, so the dozen or so idlers who watched the excitement didn't have the guts to pick them up again. It hasn't come out yet. But when the army robbed the treasury, the situation was different. When the guard soldiers were incited by the blandishments of the team officers and several leaders, they opened the iron barrel-like warehouse door and shouted: "Oh! Good guy! There are so many!" The silver is white, and the eyes are black. A little timidity is gone at this time; a little hesitation in the past has also turned into a cloud at this time.Now everyone is worried.What are you worried about?The worry is that there are too many treasures and too little strength—for example, one ingot of silver weighs ten taels, and sixteen ingots of silver weigh ten catties on the old scale. As far as two ingots of ingots are concerned, then only twenty-six ingots are needed, which is more than eighty catties; and in terms of silver coins, one silver coin is equivalent to seven cents and two cents of Kuping, and one hundred silver coins is equivalent to four and a half catties on the old scale. The nineteen silver coins on the back are only eighty-five catties and fifty liang, which is not much.But people who can carry one hundred catties of other things for a long distance with silver money and hard goods can hardly walk as long as they carry eighty catties of hard goods.In this way, after the soldiers satisfy their desires, they have to acquiesce in taking as much as possible to the guards and others who are crowded inside and outside the door, watching their eyes blazing and drooling.

When the soldiers and officers were satisfied, the news spread. First of all, there was a group of loafers, who went out of the tea house, went into the tavern, cheated people with money, and picked up money. Brothers, like flies smelling fishy smell, they swarmed in.He said hello in a loud voice: "Hunting along the mountain, anyone who sees it will have a share! Brother, you are rich enough, let us get rich too! Get rich!"After this group, countless poor people followed: not only men, but also women; not only strong men, but also old men with long bells; Children; in the end, even some tired, disabled and bedridden men and women crawled up with their legs dragging as if they would rather die than die.

The original intention of the team officer and the leader was to take advantage of the muddy water to get his mother's hand from the young man, to investigate in the future, and then find a way to deal with it.They never expected that once the gate was opened, the water would flow so violently. If they wanted to close the gate again, they would not be able to do so. I can't hide my head to show the public.Therefore, taking advantage of the confusion, these people slipped away first.When the soldiers saw that the leader had slipped away, they followed suit. Some were laden with treasures and staggered away;Afterwards, the military government sent people to appease them. Although they promised not to blame the past, no one returned to the team.

The fan treasury was robbed like this, and the salt storehouse was robbed in the same way.As a result, the team of enlightenment expanded, and the scope of enlightenment also expanded from bustling streets to ordinary streets, from business houses to large mansions and large residences.It is not until the enlightenment hits the pawn shop that it reaches its peak. Ge Huanzhong's family was robbed the worst.Because it was his old subordinate who took the lead in entering the door, claiming to settle old scores with him.The account was not settled (because he saw the opportunity, he avoided it long ago), so he had to vent his anger on things.Those that could be taken away were not kept; if they could not be taken away, such as full-length mirrors and nanmu furniture, they were smashed with stones and chopped with sabers, and even Shixian's calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall were torn into many pieces.

Hao Da's three families suffered the lightest loss, almost no loss.The reason was that after the accident in the East School Field, Wu Ping ran to Hao's house in a panic to look for Hao Yousan.It happened that Hao's family was having lunch, Hao Yousan left him outside the study, and temporarily asked Master Luo to add a sweet-scented osmanthus egg to accompany him for a light meal. At first, Wu Ping was very worried, holding his job, and couldn't eat much.He couldn't help sighing and said: "I really didn't expect such a big mess to happen today. The son of a bitch, she didn't listen to her greetings, as if she had drunk ecstasy soup. Alas! The supervisor will call me down tomorrow, let's see what happens!"

Hao Yousan comforted him and said, "So many camp leaders have had accidents, and you are not the only one. When it comes to being punished, you are no more than one of them. Jia Yan has promised that when order is restored, he will immediately go to Pu Du Du. I would like to say a few good words for you. It is not easy for Jiayan to speak to others on weekdays, and since he has promised you, he will not break his promise..." While talking, suddenly heard the noise of people outside the door of the upper hall, there are men and women, and then the two old brothers Hao Dasan and Hao Zunsan walked to the side door of the centipede frame and called out in unison: "And three quick Click it out, the patrolmen are robbing people on the street!" But when the door curtain was lifted, it was Wu Ping in military uniform with a flushed face who rushed out.It was too late to deal with the old master, so he just said: "Wait for me to go and see..." Hao Yousan chased to the gate and asked, "Can you turn around?" "Turn around!" Wu Pinguo didn't break his promise, and after only a little over two hours, he shouted to open the door outside the closed, black-lacquered door with colorful and golden lines painted on it, which was much taller than a living person.And he wasn't the only one, there were five patrolmen with guns in their hands following him into the door.If he hadn't quickly declared that it was his specially brought bodyguards, he would have scared the panic-stricken crowd in the hall to death. As soon as Wu Ping entered the door, he commanded the five soldiers: "Stay here on the bench. I'll ask the host to bring out the tea and tobacco. Don't close the door tightly. If someone comes in, check it out first. It's my boy. He eats a bag of cigarettes. As I said, those who are willing to collect the knife to check the hexagrams should return to the camp as soon as possible. The secretary Chao Nianzu and the third sentry officer Ma Zhanbiao are all waiting in the camp to make booklets. If it is a brother from another battalion or a new army For those who came to the front, just say, this is the fortune of our camp, and ask them to let it go. If you don’t listen to the superiors, just fire, and I will take responsibility! If the gangsters from the neighborhood come, don’t talk about your head, tell them to crawl away !" When he got to the hall, he took off his hat and bowed to Hao Dasan and Hao Zunsan (the woman and the little baby had already avoided the upper room and the big garden). Jing said: "Don't worry, old man! Brothers are a bit barbaric, but I'm here, you can be safe!" "Oh! It's all about strength!" When Hao Yousan accompanied him alone, he asked him about the situation outside. "It's a mess!" He said, shaking his head with a full face of melancholy, "Son of a bitch, they are all crazy! The five I brought, I had to find out because of my conscience. battalion, and asked the three sentinel officers—Shi Jingwu, the first sentry officer, and Gao Zhankui, the second sentry officer. I ran back to the Yishui Temple, only to see Ma Zhanbiao surrounded by a dozen brothers, asking him to take him in, and asking him to guarantee that he would be given a lighter sentence in the future. Disappointment, don't search their fortunes. Wait for the military government to order them to be dismissed—they are expected to be dismissed. I guess, the governor has no choice but to do this, otherwise, who can bring these soldiers again, there is no law in such a way! They said that after eating food for half of their life, they are still bare. Now that they can make some money, when they are sent back to other states and counties, they can keep their own place and start a small business to make a living. How dare Ma Zhanbiao agree? I patted my chest and agreed. It seems that Enlightenment is hitting the limelight. I can't say when it will stop. Your mansion is so conspicuous and it's on such a street, so I just went home and put the three brothers at the gate of Sun's house. I will be led by my wife and serve as a bodyguard. Then, I specially selected these five sticks from Ningyuan Mansion, who seem to be more honest, to come to you... Naturally! Naturally! I will not go back tonight... ..." That night, the whole Hao family still did not dare to take off their clothes.Because they have Wu Ping bodyguards, they are not afraid of being robbed (except for the food and entertainment that night, the next day, after all, the host family offered 200 yuan of Longyang, saying that it was gathered by the whole family, and paid 100 yuan for five soldiers, and 100 yuan. Wu Ping was rewarded. Wu Ping would not accept it until he died, and in the end, he gave it to the five soldiers. The loss of the Hao family was only this.) What they were afraid of was fire. How did the fire start?No one can tell.I only know that several pawnshops were burned first, and then the fan treasury burned most fiercely and frighteningly.This night, it was cloudy again, with thick clouds and low pressure. When the fire was raging, the whole city was literally turning red.Thanks to the place where the fire broke out, there are high fireproof brick walls all around, usually just to prevent the external fire from spreading inside, but at this time, it is very good, it really prevents the internal fire from spreading.If not, who cares about putting out the fire after it breaks out?Even the fire brigade was mobilized! When the patrolmen started to inspire, one of them had a lot of heads and didn't know each other; the other was also a little wary, for fear of being interfered by - afraid of interference from the army, patrol police, and comrades.Therefore, when they meet each other, they should shout out: "Brother, don't take pictures!"It was an ordinary greeting, but it suddenly became a slogan, and it also suddenly became an effective passport in the chaos.To say it works depends on when and where.If you inspire things too much, but you meet someone who is stronger than you and has not got the things, then even if you shout "Don't take photos! Don't take photos!" until your throat is hoarse, you will not be safe. If you don't take the things Stay, you still "can't go back"!What's more, the banner soldiers guarding the whole city that night heard the mutiny in the big city, but they couldn't figure out the truth, and they were afraid that some disaster would fly to the banner.More than a thousand men with weapons in their hands followed the orders of the general and the governor, and guarded the five city gates (one is the Daxi Gate; the other is the Xiaobei Gate leading to Ningxia Street, the Xiaodong Gate leading to Yangshi Street, and the West Gate). The small east gate of Yujie, the small south gate of Tongjunping Street), as long as someone approached the city gate, they would shoot and demonstrate.If they find a team with guns, their guns will be fired more fiercely.At this time, anyone who "does not take photos" is useless.For this reason, Qingyu on the edge of Xiaodongmen City should be preserved, not only has it not been burned, but it has not been enlightened.The environment of Huang Lansheng's home is so special. The patrol soldiers and the police led a lot of hooligans, who wanted to patronize them again and again, but the banner soldiers kept their guns all night, so it was inevitable. The half-day and one-night riots also caused fundamental changes in the Han military government that had barely been established for twelve days! When the accident happened in the East Campus, nothing was heard of in the military government.When the news spread that the shops on the street were closed, a group of responsible gentlemen in the conference hall still ignored it, and some of them decided that it was a lie. Cai Mazi from the Secretariat Bureau came back from the conference hall, immediately found Sun Yatang, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Sun, it's your business again!" "What kind of manuscript is it not?" Sun Yatang was holding a Guangdong brass hookah with a sharkskin cover, crossed his legs and sat on a rattan heart chair, with a pile of business affairs spread out on the signing table in front of him. He was wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses, smoking while smoking. Watching intently. "...Look at how I can draw my hand!" He still bowed his head in his official business, did not raise his eyes to look at the person who was talking to him, but frowned and said in a very unhappy manner, "The Bureau There are so many friends here, why bother to find me alone?" Cai Mazi didn't feel at all that this clerk who was born as a master was so rude and disrespected his identity, so he still kept his face unchanged, and said almost beggingly: "It's hard for you, Mr. Sun! This is the most important thing. The official business is specially ordered by the gentlemen in the conference hall, and the seal must be written at half an hour..." "What business is so urgent? Don't wait for the governor's painting shop to pass the seal?" "I just can't wait for the governor's painting practice! Mr. Xu Zixiu thinks that at this critical time, you can get it even if you don't have painting practice." "Haha...haha... It's really a layman who has never been an official!" Sun Yatang couldn't help laughing.Yin took off his presbyopic glasses, squinted his eyes, and asked Cai Mazi, "Tell me, what kind of urgent matter is it?" "Rumors have risen again, saying that there was a mutiny in the East Campus..." "East Campus mutiny? Didn't the two governors specially go to the East Campus to recruit soldiers today?" "Because of this, the gentlemen in the conference hall advocate writing a few notices to refute the rumors." "Ah! So that's the case, then..." After the six-character rhyme manuscript was considered, polished, and modified word by word by several learned and talented gentlemen in the conference hall, it was just waiting to be copied. Correct news flew into the military government one after another, proving that the mutiny in the East School Field was not a rumor, but a fact.At this moment, everyone in the entire imperial city panicked. After all, the gentlemen in the conference hall are mature and prudent, unlike other people who have no ideas.They said: "Calm... Calm! Everything can only be decided after the return of the two governors!" Some people wanted to leave, but were persuaded, saying that if people from the military government moved around, it would definitely affect the market. No way." But wait and wait, the governor never came back, and none of the guards came back.Instead, rumors emerged from the imperial city: "The governor may have had an accident!" "No way? There is also the chief of staff, the minister of military and political affairs, and..." "How could there be a mutiny? In the middle, I'm afraid Someone is in charge?" "Well! Someone is in charge!" "Who is in charge?" No matter who is in charge, in short, the mutiny has happened, and the next step is to attack the military government.The military government is a dangerous place.Although there are hundreds of soldiers in charge of guarding, but first of all, don't rush to estimate the strength of the troops, whether they can fight those desperadoes or not, just think about it: soldiers are cast from the same mold, and the soldiers in the East School Field are under the eyes of the two governors. Everything has changed, not to mention the two of them are not here.It seems that nine times out of ten, as long as the soldiers are called, the soldiers here will undoubtedly respond. If you don't scrutinize it, it's all right, but after scrutiny, the imperial city is like a big fire pit, "Ah! How can you live here for a while?" Just as everyone was about to disperse, Sun Zhaoluan happened to have arrived on a flying horse; he rushed into the conference hall and shouted angrily: "Misters, you can't leave, it's very chaotic outside, I'm here to report..." Sun Zhaoluan stood there, surrounded by people, all of whom he respected but could not get close to. "...At present, only the military government is the safest place! First, the military government and the armory are guarded by the army... Uh! The army has not changed! We are now waiting for the army from Phoenix Mountain to come into the city. Yin Shuoquan went there in person, and it will be known in a few hours..." But all the gentlemen who knew Yin Changheng, such as Xu Jiong, Luo Lun, etc., could not help but blurt out with relief: "With him, we will not be afraid!" Some people are still asking Sun Zhaoluan: "Where did the two governors hide?" "do not know!" "How did the patrolmen mutiny?" "do not know!" "Is someone secretly dispatching?" "I don't even know!" Someone got angry and yelled loudly: "What are you doing? I don't know this! I don't know that! Hey! How unreasonable!" Sun Zhaoluan smiled slightly and said, "What am I doing? Your husband should know, first, I'm not a detective..." A burst of heavy gunshots suddenly rang out.It's just that it's farther away, and it's not so amazing. Sun Zhaoluan drove away. Luo Lun grabbed him and said, "You can't go away!" More than a dozen other senior gentlemen who have never paid much attention to martial arts also crowded in front of Sun Zhaoluan, begging him to stay.There is even a gentleman who is "not ashamed to ask" who bends his back and asks him very politely for his honor and name, as well as "Which two characters are Taifu"?After being introduced to him by others, he hurriedly called Sun Zhaoluan by his name and said, "Oh! So it is Mr. Yuanqing! I have long admired him! I have long admired him!" In fact, he didn't know who Sun Zhaoluan was, and what he was doing now , just "like resentment and admiration" and said: "Hey! Hey! How did your husband get away!" Sun Zhaoluan was extremely proud at this time.He tightened the belt with his hands, and lifted the straight collar that had been removed from the collar, and then said to Luo Lun with a smile on his face: "Mr. Luo, don't worry, I'm not leaving." He raised his voice even higher Some, so that everyone can hear, "How can I go away? Minister Yin Suk Kwon specially asked me to protect the military government - of course, to protect you gentlemen. I am a soldier, as long as the superior orders, I have to obey to the end If you act without authorization, wouldn’t you be violating the bounden duty of a soldier? I’m not qualified as a soldier either! I, Sun, have no other specialties in my life, I just obey my superiors, and my self-confidence is not as good as my descendants! This is because it is..." If Wu Fengwu hadn't come to interrupt him, he might not be able to finish this impromptu speech in half an hour! Wu Fengwu left the audience angrily, and called out to him loudly: "Sun Guandai, why did you do it? The situation is so urgent, the northeast corner has already opened fire, you don't go to direct the arrangement, but run in to set up a stall Selling dog skin plasters! Can you put my surname Wu at ease?" "What are you arguing about, you dirty brother-in-law!" Sun Zhaoluan replied angrily, "What I'm selling is not a dog skin plaster, but a reassurance pill! Do you understand?" The two tall men were still joking outside the Supreme Court. After Sun Zhaoluan's speech, many people really stayed in the military government with peace of mind, under the protection of him and Wu Fengwu.Only Sun Yatang and a few people who are engaged in writing and ink can't believe that the military government is a crucible of peace.They discussed in private and said: "Thirty-six strategies, the best strategy is to go. Instead of hanging around here, it is safer to guard your own family. Besides, we are not the Reformation Revolutionary Party, and the military government is not ours. What good is staying here for us? If a catastrophe happens and those of us who are looking for food are involved, it won't be worth it!" So a few people dodged out of the military government, slipped down to the court, and slipped past the empty dam and Mingyuan building on the big green brick floor.But when he slipped into the hallway of Longmen, he was stopped by soldiers. "Where are you going?" "Let's all go home!" "Can't go!" "Why can't we go, we are members of the military government?" "No matter who you are, you just can't leave, this is an order!" "Which order?" "Wu Guan brought it." "Huh! Is Wu Guan's belt so crooked? Even our masters can control it?" Sun Yatang couldn't help being furious, and shouted with widened eyes, "I don't believe it!" Just as he was about to rush out, more than a dozen polished Jiuzi guns were raised flatly at once, and all the muzzles of the guns were pointed at their chests. The leader who sang the tune with them opened his hoarse throat and yelled as if he was shouting: "Turn yourselves! There is no order to let go, no matter who you are, even the governor, you are not allowed to pass!" The faces of the other gentlemen turned pale with fright, they turned around and left without saying a word. Only Sun Yatang had met Wu Fengwu a few times, and considered himself among his acquaintances, he was not reconciled to his subordinates being rude to him like this.He wanted to settle with him, to make amends, to send him out of the imperial city in person, and even to give that barbaric leader a solid lesson in front of his face. He still asked in high spirits: "Where is Guan Wu? I'm going to meet him!" "Upstairs in Mingyuan," the leader sneered, "you just go." Before Sun Yatang walked up to the Mingyuan Building, his unknown fire was half-extinguished by a little guard guarding the stairs. The little guard was no more than sixteen years old, and his face was childish. Although his skin was tanned, his texture was not rough.A pair of pitch-black eyeballs in the big eye sockets really look like two freshly peeled scorpions.It's just that the bridge of the nose is so collapsed that there is almost only a little bit of the bridge of the nose showing, so the nose bile looks very wide, pressing on a big mouth with extremely thick lips. The little guard grabbed Sun Yatang's green satin mandarin jacket from behind and dragged him down the two steep stairs, shouting viciously, "Hey! What do you do? You don't know the rules. Don’t even open your mouth...bull your head and move your head!” The voice that was turning into a child was like a young rooster that had just crowed, its crowing was very ear-piercing. This unexpected attack surprised Sun Yatang.After standing still, he saw a little guard, who was waiting to reprimand him a few words, but the little guard still raised his eyebrows, and in a ragged voice, scolded him why he didn't report to the deputy who was ordered to guard the gate. Lord, make it clear, and just do whatever you want? "It's hard! Look at your age, people who don't have enough to eat, why don't you know the rules! Oh! If you want to see us, then you should tell me first, and I will report it and ask you to go upstairs , you can go upstairs. You don't even understand the rules... What's your last name?" Don't think that the little guard is aggressive and insists on explaining the formalities, Sun Yatang is a master after all, and after saying a few official words, he still went upstairs in anger. The upper floor of Mingyuan is a common room.A corridor that is not too wide is separated by lattices and windows and doors.The white paper pasted on the window lattice has turned yellow and is broken.Dusty everywhere, needless to say, it has not been cleaned for a long time. At that time, the buildings in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, had new-style foreign-style houses and the Chonglou Jie Pavilion, which broke the restrictions, but apart from the bell tower of the church on Shaanxi Street, the Mingyuan Tower of the old Gongyuan was the highest place after all. Compared with Chen Wangsi The old Drum Tower left over from the Ming Dynasty in the city is still high.In the past, when the Qiu Wei Exam was held here, between the Zhigong Hall and the Mingyuan Building, there were all sheds numbered according to the thousand-character script.On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, most of the scholars hand in their papers and are in a good mood. No matter whether they are interested or not, they will call friends and friends, go out of the shed that is only as high as the roof, and run up to Mingyuan Tower to enjoy the moonlit night scenery.Of course, friends who are engaged in miscellaneous studies must recite a poem, and friends who do not engage in miscellaneous studies can’t help but learn from what Mr. Ma Er did when he overlooked the West Lake and Qiantang River on the top of Chenghuang Mountain. "The Doctrine of the Mean", but I still have to read a few lines to express my happiness. So as soon as Sun Yatang got upstairs, he couldn't help but follow the corridor and look around.The south side is blocked by the gate tower of the imperial city, so you can't see it. You can only see the bell tower of the church on Shaanxi Street from the right side of the gate tower.To the west is the city, ah!What a lush forest!There are not too many people outside the city; on the contrary, in the east, at a glance, the houses are very dense, and only a few big trees are scattered, like huge green umbrellas reaching to the sky.There are two highlands in the north. The farther one is Wudan Mountain, a famous historical site. The one nearer is Baochuan Bureau, which used to make money (since the year before Xinhai, that is, the second year of Xuantong, it has been changed to Quanyedao Yamen). In addition to the two bare so-called mountains whose names are too disproportionate, there are two rather tall buildings. The one just north is the dilapidated and dilapidated building on the Houzai Gate of the Imperial City. , the gate tower that has been in disrepair for a long time, and the one to the east is the Drum Tower, which is built on a hole that looks like a city gate.It's a pity that the sky is gloomy, with dense clouds, and there is not even a shadow of Longquan Mountain in the southeast, Tianpeng Mountain in the north, and Yulei Mountain in the west.Moreover, it was late, and there was no twilight in the city, but the mist was misty, and it must be the smoke of tens of thousands of homes. (At this time, very few people in Chengdu burned coal, and most of them burned firewood. Therefore, the smoke emitted was not thick but light, and it did not gather but scattered, much like fog.) Just like that, it also made him forget why he came to Mingyuan Tower, if he hadn't been awakened by a realistic gunshot from the southeast street. He hurriedly stepped into the checkered door, almost bumping into Wu Fengwu who was walking out head-on.Sun Yatang hastily moved aside, and greeted with a smile on his face: "Wu Guandai!" "Hmm!" Wu Fengwu glanced at him, as if nodding his head, and together with Sun Zhaoluan and seven or eight other young men who looked like officers, hurried to the corridor facing east, leaning on the railing at half a person's height, each other Pointing fingers, I don't know what to say.Then, a group of people walked towards the stairs. Sun Yatang watched them disappear at the top of the stairs, and heard the sound of leather boots beating on the wooden steps, like a small drum beating, all the way downstairs.At this time, his anger has completely disappeared.It is not only inappropriate to search for Wu Fengwu's theory, but maybe he will get some bad words from him.He felt that the current Wu Fengwu was so different from the down-and-out man he saw at Huang Lansheng's house on the eve of the declaration of Sichuan's independence. Similarly, the head is raised higher and the waist is straighter. He sighed, and walked towards the stairs, thinking to himself: "I just had a little bit of luck, and then I forgot about it, and I don't even pay attention to these people. Humph! I just believe that you will be so successful from now on..." Then, Yin Changheng personally led the two battalions to the imperial city. (It was only later that I found out that the one he had brought from the Fenghuangshan camp was originally Zhou Jun's bid. I didn't want to walk to the North Gate Bridge, and suddenly a battalion of soldiers moved freely. He left Zhou Jun to appease him, and he hurried The two battalions that had not changed were brought into the imperial city. For three days, a group of people were not allowed to go out for suppression, because they were afraid that the army would not be strong and would be affected again.) Then, several officers Zhou Jun and Peng Guanglie led Followed by a group of skirmishers recruited from the street, they also came to the imperial city.The armed force to defend the military government has increased, and everyone is half relieved, and those who are in a hurry to leave will not leave.When the truth of the mutiny was found out, it seemed that the purpose was only to inspire and grab money, not rebellion, and there was no different plan, so everyone was half-hearted. But the situation cannot be allowed to continue to deteriorate like this, law and order should be restored as soon as possible!Anyone who stayed in the military government has already thought of it. At the meeting meeting that was gathered unexpectedly, Xu Jiong first spoke and said that the military government has no one in charge now, and it has fallen into a dangerous situation without a leader. Discuss other." Yao Bixian, the former secretary-general of the Consultative Bureau, cheered loudly and said: "I completely agree with Mr. Zixiu's proposition! Boying is the governor, no matter what, he must be brought back! Why?..." Before he could explain his reasons, four or five people had shouted their disapproval. Yao Bixian was squinting his eyes and looking for the person who shouted disapproval from the shadow that the insurance light could not reach, when a person sitting on the side of the big dining table shouted to him: "I have disappeared at this time, I know where he fled to Already? You go find him!" Yao Bixian recognized that person as Chen Xizeng, he was always a naysayer in the advisory bureau, and was often criticized by Pu Dianjun to make him speechless.At this time, stroking his mustache, he continued complacently: "It's okay to bring him back. But it's not about bringing him back to be the governor, but to punish him for his incompetence. To be honest, Pu Dianjun is responsible for today's disaster. He made it all by himself. He was originally a scholar who didn’t understand military aircraft, but he wanted to go to the military parade, and he didn’t accept kind words. I persuaded him twice, but he didn’t pay attention, and even mocked my short-sightedness. Good! I This Sichuan mouse, now I want to use my eyes to see what kind of face he has when he comes back to meet people!" Yao Bixian got angry, punched the big dining table, his neck was red, he glared at the naysayer and shouted: "You have such high qualifications, you dare to slander the governor..." Wang Mingxin, the former supervisor of the Railway Academy, immediately stood up, waved his hands and said, "Don't make noise! ​​Don't make noise..." Many voices shouted at the same time: "What is slander? The governor was elected by us... 70 million of our compatriots are qualified to criticize him..." Peng Guanglie squeezed from the corner to the big dining table, and in front of Yao Bixian punched the table, hissing, "How can we criticize him, we have the right to fire him! That is to say, we don't want him to be the governor anymore... ..." All the officers in this vast hall—even crowded by the door and under the windows, as if they had made a deal, all shouted in unison: "Yes! We don't want Pu Dianjun to be the governor! We don't want Zhu Qinglan to be the deputy commander. Today’s incident at the East Campus was caused by people like Zhu Qinglan, Jiang Dengxuan, and Fang Shengtao... These soldiers from other provinces are all Zhao Erfeng’s best friends...they are the enemies of our Sichuan compatriots..." In an instant, the hall changed, filled with shouting voices, and even the safety lamp hanging in the center was shaken.Most people are shouting: "Don't this! Don't that!" But there are also a few people who are shouting: "No! No! Keep the status quo!" Xu Jiong was so anxious that his face turned yellow. He took off his steel-rimmed glasses and wiped them again and again.Standing at the head of the big dining table, he shouted loudly: "Masters, gentlemen, don't be impatient, please listen to my words! Please listen to my words!" After all, he is the president of the Provincial Education Federation. He has lectured in the Jiangnan Pavilion for many years, has visited Japan for educational research, and once set up a school in Shaanxi Province. Home.Although he only served as a senior adviser in the military government, he always acted as the temporary chairman invisibly to preside over the meeting every time he held a meeting.Because of this habit, when he appealed at this time, even some young and impetuous officers gradually stopped making noise because they saw the solemn expressions of Yin Changheng, Zhou Jun, and Peng Guanglie. “说起道理来，四川军政府都督，并非由于我们公推的。”徐炯觉得有人要说话，赶快伸起右手一挥道，“假使我说得不对，也请听我说完了，再驳我。”又拿眼把众人一扫，才慢慢说了下去，“可以说，是绅士们与赵季和所议订的独立条约上规定的。假使我们不承认那项条约，那么，由条约而产生的正副都督，当然无效，也就无庸争论要他们或者不要他们。所以我的愚见，要不要蒲伯英、朱子桥续任正副都督，这尚有个前提。前提是，我们还承不承认那项独立条约？我没有学过法政，不知道我这见解对与不对。不过就人情物理而论，大概所差不远。可惜邵明叔先生、周紫庭先生都不在这里，无从请教。但是罗梓青先生当过咨议局副议长，深通法理，可否就请罗先生起来讨论讨论？” 说毕，他微微鞠了一躬。想不到居然有人拍了几下巴掌。 罗纶站起来，先把头上戴的青缎瓜皮小帽揭下，用一张大手巾，把剃得溜光的和尚脑袋擦了擦，才比着手式说道：“诸君，说到四川独立条约，昨天我接到重庆一家报纸，上面登了一长篇革命党人的驳议。虽然把我牵扯在内，口口声声说这项条约的拟订，似乎出自我与蒲伯英先生的意思。其实，诸君当然知道，条约拟订，不特我一根笋未曾参预，而且我私下尚曾反对过。”说着，把坐在身旁的张澜一指，“张表方先生可以为证。”他把喉咙打扫了一下，又继续说道，“虽然驳议上还歪歪曲曲，把我与蒲先生说成是保皇党——我趁此机会，申明一句，我与蒲伯英先生、张表方先生，还有很多先生，连同邵明叔先生在内，主张立宪……”他顿了顿，把“君主”两个字从嘴皮上咽回到喉咙里，“则有之，绝对不主张保皇。诸君，你们须知，立宪也是革命。所以满清朝廷把革命视为叛逆，把立宪也一律视为叛逆，杀立宪派与革命党，并无二致的！但是重庆革命党人的驳议书上，有些地方却说得很好……” 一些人大声问道：“说些什么？要点在哪里？” 一些人却吆喝说：“莫要牵藤藤，扯草草，越扯越远！到底你打算说些啥？撇脱点说吧！” 罗纶光眼望着那些吵闹的人，翻起厚嘴皮笑道：“你们存心打岔我吗？” 徐炯、王铭新、彭光烈，连同陈希曾，都纷纷起而干涉，会场秩序又渐渐恢复。 “我目前没有时间来回答你们那驳议上的要点。报纸在我房间里，歇会儿，你们自己去看。至于说我扯远了，那不对。因为要讲到条约可遵守可不遵守，不能不理落一下这条约是否合法……依我看来，这项条约是不合法的！是赵尔丰、周善培、吴钟镕几个人，别有用意的一种东西！只怪我们一些朋友，当时没有研究，被周善培这个人蒙蔽了，因而上了赵尔丰诸人大当。重庆革命党人旁观者清，所以一眼就看出了漏洞，比之我们……” 陈希曾站起来短住他的话道：“莫说那么多，直截了当地说吧！你主不主张把这条约废了？” 罗纶毫不思索，举起他那浑圆的肉多骨少的拳头在桌上一捶道：“废约！废约！如不废约，我们就无法改组军政府！就无法依据民意，推举正副都督！我再说一句，今天兵变，有人以为是外省军人在支使。依我看，原动力还不在于外省军人，而是……而一定是那个流连不忍去的赵尔丰！” “好呀！讲得好呀……” “那么，我们现在就决定改组军政府……” “莫忙！莫忙！先推定正副都督要紧……” 彭光烈、周骏、宋学皋、龙光、孙兆鸾、吴凤梧，还有其他一些年轻军官，都一齐站起来，同声大呼道：“我们代表……全省七千万同胞，公推尹昌衡担任……都督……” 一班身穿长袍短褂的绅士，大为骇然，只有姚弼宪提了一个问题说：“是副都督吗？” 彭光烈听见了，连忙吆喝道：“什么副都督？既然叫都督，那便是正都督！硕权，你应当起来发表一下意见啊！” 尹昌衡霍地从座位上站起来。身材本来就比任何人都高，这时，全身戎装，显得更比平常穿便衣时昂藏威武。保险洋灯的灯光恰恰照着他那未戴军帽的光头。看来，那颗额宽顶平的脑袋，也比任何人的大。一张马脸，一副宽厚下巴，配上一条长鼻，一双剑眉，一对大眼眶，的的确确是天生的一员大将的仪表！唯一缺点，就只眼睛的神气不充足，尤其在他不经意时，眼睛活像是空的。另一个缺点是嗓子尽管大，声音尽管宏，在平常随意言谈时，尚不感到有什么别扭，但是当他一提劲，你就听得出不但声无后音，而且音无腔调。 “各位先生！”猛吼了这么一声后，他那苍白的脸上，突然露出一种茫然若失的样子。 他的朋友们晓得他向能说话，不管在什么场合，只要他起立发言，有时虽嫌文不对题，毕竟可以敷衍成篇。谁也没料到，在今夜这个小局面上，当着这些绅士，他会怯起场来；而且又正值必须说话时候！ 吴凤梧连忙把茶碗送到尹昌衡面前，低低说道：“请润润喉咙再讲。莫着急！” 他掉头看了吴凤梧一眼，似乎没有听懂他说的什么话。忽又提起嗓子大叫道：“承大家不弃……嗯！推举昌衡出来担任都督职务……嗯……” 就这样若断若续讲了二十几句，表明他虽然才薄能鲜，但为了拯救父母之邦，只好不顾牺牲，勉为其难这类的话。 但是当全场拍着巴掌，高呼欢迎时候，他又突然补了两句谦虚辞说，此时担任都督，到底只算暂时维持，等到秩序恢复后，他一定要辞职以让贤路的。 又是一阵巴掌，一阵欢呼。 有人问，正都督举出来了，副都督呢？ 尹昌衡又站了起来高声喊道：“副都督，我公举罗梓青先生担任！” “好啊！好啊！我们欢迎罗先生当副都督！” “太合适了！既叫军政府，照理，应该武的当正都督，文的当副都督。独立时候，大家搞反了，所以出了事……” “两位都督都公举定了，什么时候请他们就职？” 孙雅堂在窗子跟前，也忘乎其形地把蔡麻子的肩头一拍，道：“这篇就职文告，你得早点找人，别临时又逼得寡母子生儿，那才叫老火哩！” 临时会长徐炯宣布说：“就职嘛，恐怕还要经过一番手续。今夜这会儿，只能叫作预备会。为了慎重起见，明天应当开一个大会，把各法团召集来，本着今夜的决定，正式通过改组军政府，正式通过推举都督……当然，不许可有异议提出的，大家尽管放心！因为不经过正式手续，不足表示合法，首先重庆那方面的革命党人就会反对……” 这时节，城内枪声四起，启发打得正热闹，藩库与十来家当铺的火光红了天空，全城秩序陷于极度紊乱。二十多万从未遭过兵燹的人民吓得不知死活。新举出的两位都督面面相视，想不出用什么办法来收拾这个似乎是不可救药的局面。彼此研究后，得的结论是：“挨到明天再看吧！” 明天，这是一个难堪的日子！ 经过半天整夜的兵变与洗劫，这个在中国历史上就有富庶乐安之称的锦官城，简直彻头彻尾变了一个样子。 全城三百多条街巷全都关门闭户。虽说有一些人家的门户被打得稀烂，无法关闭，但在门框上，也纵横钉上些木条木板。许多商店，许多住宅，还在最显著之处，贴上一张告白纸。是商店，大都写着：“本号损失甚重，请勿入内！”是住宅，措辞便来得露骨一些：“本宅被人照顾多次，所有衣物，无论值钱与否，得用与否，全被搬走一空。倘再惠临，必定大失所望，如若不信，欢迎入内参观，此白！” 街上来往奔走的人还是不少。绝大多数是兵，是形容憔悴、精神萎靡的兵。有的仍然穿着不周不整的军服，有的已改穿一身便装短打——各色各式的细料子棉紧身，或者狐皮阿侬袋，九子枪，有的着，有的横拿在手上。几乎每个人身上都挎有一个大包袱，几乎每个包袱都沉甸甸地把那些筋强骨壮的汉子压得弓腰驼背。他们三五成群地朝背街小巷走，朝南、东、北三门走。 但是也有一些神魂不定的兵，好像迷失路途似的，刚由东头走向西头，走不上几条街，又忽而突之来个大转弯，依然向东头走去。几乎走了半天，还未打定主意到底向哪里走的好。 街道上也有轿马。轿全是轿铺里的小轿，没一顶是三丁拐、四人抬的官轿。轿里装的不是人，是绳捆索绑的东西，都很重，两个轿夫抬走，显然很吃力。并且看得出，轿夫都不是出于自愿，若非被前后左右拿着九子枪、面带凶相的兵押着，他们可能走不多远就会丢下轿子跑掉的。 马全是军马，没有一头官马与民马。这倒不稀奇，成都省的交通工具，除了人抬的轿子，还是人抬的轿子，没有车（无论是牲口驾的车，或是人拉的、当时风行一时的所谓东洋车，全没有），更没有马（各大衙门里偶尔养几头给跟班大爷骑上作仪注的官马，自从大讲维新，裁撤执事，已经不多。私人养来摆门面的走马，那更绝无仅有了）。骑着马在街上走的只有骑兵，纵非骑兵，也是有军职的人。 东方发白时候，全城才不再听见枪声，也才不再听见“不照！不照！”的口号，启发完全停止了！夜来趁浑水捡财喜的人们，因为劳累了一夜，都已关门睡觉。夜来心惊胆战、吓得通宵未闭眼睛的人们，因为要确实明白一下家门之外到底成了一个什么世界，是不是如他们所揣想的“烧了一坝房子，死了一坝人”，反而轻启双扉，溜上街来。 由于余悸犹存的缘故，大家还不敢昂头阔步地在街心里走。并且远远一看见有拿枪的兵走来，便急忙停步在人家的屋檐下，或者墙脚边，低眉垂眼，连呼吸都几乎屏住，生怕有什么不测之祸，一下就飞到自己身上；只管那些蹒跚而行的兵，已经没有一点昨夜以前的雄赳赳样子，倒是正颜厉色多看他两眼，他反而会怯生生地躲开你的。 一言蔽之，全城还被恐怖的阴影笼罩着，尤其当赵尔丰的告示张贴出来之时。 赵尔丰居然以卸任四川总督、现任川滇边务大臣名义，出了一通六言韵示，令叛兵们——不论是陆军，是巡防军，速速到制台衙门投到受抚，申明“不究既往，一概从宽”。告示上没有盖印（不是故意不盖印，实因四川总督关防已经交出，川滇边务大臣关防尚远在雅州府他的代理人、也是他心腹师爷、四川叙永厅贡生傅华封的手上），只用朱笔标了一个很潦草的印字。 告示是写的。大概因为时间仓促，书手不多，全城一共只贴了二十来张。就这样，已经使得许多人在恐怖之外，又增加了一种恐怖，因为告示末尾写的是宣统三年十月十九日。 “嗨！赵屠户又出来啦！”傅隆盛站在锦江桥木栅贴告示地方，把告示一念完，气得项脖都粗了，浮肿而打皱的脸由红而紫，几乎变成猪肝颜色。忘记了夜来迄今的恐怖，忘记了正有一群巡防兵慌慌张张打从锦江桥上走过，竟大声武气向拥在身边的一些街坊邻舍叫道：“看！看！看！还是宣统年号哩……我早晓得四川独立是一个假过场，是诳我们的，是……他龟儿赵屠户耍的把戏……咦！他又出来了！把些巡防兵喊回去……” 田街正连忙短住他的喊声，搒了他一下，低低说道：“叫唤啥子，老东西？你眼睛放亮点，好不好？” “咋个要放亮点？”傅隆盛莫名其妙地问。 比田街正、傅隆盛两人年龄稍大的曾板鸭，向巡防兵背影努了努嘴，咕噜道：“歪人才过去！” “歪人？咳！昨天夜里没有摸清底实，被他们几爷子的乱枪吓糊涂了。可是今天，白日清光地，看哪个还敢歪？”看见巡防兵走远了，傅隆盛不由嘴角一瘪，把叶子烟杆从嘴上拿开，重重地朝石板上吐了一泡口水道：“杂种们总没有赵屠户歪嘛！老子们连赵屠户都没有放在眼里，还惧怯你这些强盗……” 田街正皱起两道有长毫的眉头叹道：“赵尔丰翻了身，我们的军政府不就垮了台了？唉！算起来独立才十二天，闹些啥子鬼名堂！” 但是傅隆盛却把眼睛一泛，很固执地说道：“那你又不能这样说喽！你说军政府垮台，我就不信！刚才不是有人到皇城坝去看了回来说，皇城门洞两边仍然挂的是那两面大汉国旗？里里外外数不清的新军？还有好多三丁拐轿子赶进皇城去？军政府一定不会垮！哪怕他赵屠户诡计多端，哪怕他会支使巡防兵闹事……” 没等他说完，就有人插嘴问他，巡防兵闹事，怎么知道是赵尔丰在支使？ “何消问呢？”傅隆盛拿起叶子烟杆，向栅子上糨糊未干的告示一戳，“这就是凭据呀！若果不是他在支使，他为啥急急忙忙出起告示来招安？可见他生怕杂种们打了启发不再归队。他没有这些杂种们当护脚毛，管他是四川总督也罢，川滇边务大臣也罢，他就端把虎皮交椅坐在制台衙门辕门外，见人打招呼，人家不屑理睬，看他有好大本事，能把宣统皇帝再捧出来？” 登时几个声音附和道：“傅掌柜说得对，大家真个不球理睬他，看他能不能翻身？” 有人说：“若是他把巡防兵招了回去，也不是好事呀！” 田街正摇摇头道：“巡防兵这时候还有心肠看告示？” 傅隆盛猛一举手，那张贴得并不太高的告示，突然从栅子上转到老头子的手上；而且没等大家从惊诧中回过神，他已把它揉成一团，由桥栏上面丢入了金河。这时，金河的流水虽已清浅得载不起一只小划子，但漂流一个纸团，急急将其送出水窗门，送入九眼桥下的府河，倒还是可能之至。 曾板鸭抱怨道：“你扯了它为啥哟！” 傅隆盛扬扬得意道：“这叫作眼不见，心不烦！二来，也免得杂种们看见了起歹心！” 赵尔丰那张没盖印的招安告示，确实引起了不少人的惶恐。 恰恰这两天街上又有谣言发生。说的是，甘肃回军奉了摄政王载沣之命，从陕西西部打到咸阳；另一股骑兵，则从潼关打过华阴，西安已成危城一座，起义的民军抵敌不住，已从汉中府逃入四川。回军、旗兵跟踪追击，看来，不久也会打到四川来的。 谣言也不是完全没有影子。十天之前，确有一二百全武装队伍，由陕西开进四川。但那并不是什么溃败的陕西起义民军，而是开办在西安的陆军中学堂的四川籍学生。他们在陕西独立之后，因为学堂停办，一方面风闻故乡官民冲突，地方糜烂，要回来促成四川的独立。 恰巧，被拿问进京的王人文，因对头盛宣怀已经被黜，清廷威信全失，而且为革命潮流冲击，自身且如泥菩萨过河，正在难保，哪还有力量来办理他的参案？（王人文是被端方奏参为讨好川民，故违铁路国有政策，以致民乱四起，难于收拾的罪名，当他进京陛见请训，刚到西安，便由清廷降旨拿问的。）他正想乘机逃离西安，于是派人与这些四川学生联络，说他对四川极有感情。当铁路国有政策刚刚颁布，他就确定他的生死荣辱和四川人分不开了，四川人之利，便是他的利；四川人之害，便是他的害。他离开四川时候，四川的父老兄弟尚正奔走呼号，与国贼盛宣怀、端方做生死之争。不意赵尔丰接任，一反他王人文所为，不惟不支持四川绅民，转而听从盛、端指使，不惜专制压迫。一路上，每一听见四川乱事，他真心如刀绞，恨不能逃回成都，匍匐于赵尔丰之前，刀锯鼎镬，甘以一身任之，但求四川七千万同胞能出水火而登衽席。现在革命潮流遍于中国，岂容四川一省，自居化外？“诸君既有志于乡邦，鄙人愿以衰朽之身，从诸君之后，为革命大业，为川人幸福，稍效犬马之劳，略为毫末之助，幸能许我，至感！至感！” 四川学生当然非常欢迎他同行，并还至诚表白说，他们虽有革命热忱，不怕牺牲，但是既无军事经验，更无政法阅历，愿意拥戴他作为援川革命军统领，等到打拢成都，宣布四川独立，就推举他为都督。王人文并不推辞，一口便答应了。 一支小小的，但是生气勃勃的革命队伍，就这样，保护着王人文一家老幼男女（学生与王人文的几十名卫队都排着行列步行，王人文一家坐的轿，还有几匹骡马和几个杠担抬运着他的行李），离开西安，走完平原，越过险峻秦岭。虽然沿途无阻，可是风餐露宿，手胼脚胝，坐轿的没有什么，走路的，尤其初走长途的学生们，却够苦了！ 他们经过陕西汉中府时，稍稍犯了一点险。因为这里驻有两营尚未反正的防军。这里的文武官吏也尚奉着宣统正朔，也尚穿着花衣补褂，也尚拖着油光水滑发辫，学生们因都剪掉了发辫，不敢进城，住在城外，也戒备森严。王人文却进了城，不知他说了些什么话，用了些什么方法，一宿无恙，次日，仍然人夫轿马地带着学生们上了路。 但是一到四川第一个县份广元，王人文就变了卦。他向学生们表示，他从知县衙门得到确息，四川许多地方都已独立，都已成立军政府，形势所趋，赵尔丰一定会见风转舵（这时广元地方尚不知道成都已经独立），他已用不着再去川西，去也无用。因他精力衰惫，才智俱竭，对此分崩离析的局面，实不知如何措手。再而，他到底做过清室的臣子，吃过朝廷的俸禄，即使天命已去，国步当移，他纵不能守节尽忠，也不可公然革命。何况他幼读孔孟之书，长究性理之学，小德出入无妨，但这关乎人伦大道，是万万通融不得的。 学生们上了老官僚一个大当！明明知道被他利用来脱离险恶的陕西，但也感谢他在汉中的一场掩护；且也确实知道四川各地都已反正，做事的机会是有的。于是大家商量一下，遂就各人的兴趣，各人的关系，分投各地而去。 王人文在广元歇脚几天，也便水陆兼进，绕道来到重庆。蜀军政府念他在争路风潮之初，毕竟帮助过四川人，不但有礼貌地招待他小作勾留，而且当他要顺流东下，去上海作寓公时，还送了他几千元的路费。不多时候，曾经满手染过人血的田征葵，从成都携眷潜逃，路过重庆，被蜀军政府缉获，经军法处正式审讯，判处死刑，押至通远门外斩首示众。这两件事，很得大众称许，都说蜀军政府处理得当，表示了四川人对于善善恶恶是一点不含糊的。 回到成都的一小部分学生，恰恰在打启发的第二天抵达北门，还来得及亲眼看见不少兵士，三三五五，背着大包袱，提着九子枪，取道大小川北而去。 因为有了这种谣言，所以军政府里无论来自哪个法团的人士，一说到赵尔丰为什么要赶在今天上午发出那样的招安告示，大家也都一致肯定是他想趁军政府风雨飘摇时候，把队伍抓到手上，来重振他的总督权力，也就是要取消四川独立自治，依然实行清朝的专制政体。就在这种忧惧惊疑的气氛中，大家完全赞成昨夜临时会所做的决定，一致举手推举尹昌衡为正都督，罗纶为副都督。并且希望他们立时立刻拿出办法来，首先抵制住赵尔丰，不能任他把叛兵招去；其次恢复全城秩序。 所以这天下午，好些街口贴告示地方，都贴出了盖有大汉军政府印信的告示，告诉人民，军政府旧的正副都督辞了职，新的正副都督就了职。告示上虽没提说新旧交替的原因，也没提说新都督
