Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

When Yifu Bian entered the city as a winner, he didn't expect to see Qian Guandai; but Qian Guandai thought of meeting Yifu Bian. Qian Guandai obviously guards Second Master Li by his side, and he also obviously drank a few pots of wine when he and Second Master Li were negotiating peace in the city, but he does not recognize Second Master Li and only recognizes Yifu Bian. At that chaotic moment, Qian Guandai dragged the drunk Li Erye to look around among the crowd under the city gate.After seeing Yifu Bian, he waved his hands and stomped his feet again, and called out vigorously, "Master Bian! Master Bian!"

Then, Qian Guandai risked colliding with the brothers wielding knives and guns, rushed over, grabbed Yifu Bian's hand and said, "Okay my lord Bian, you are finally here again!" !" With that tone, it seemed that Yifu Bian had long expected that Yifu Bian would attack the city. This surprised Bian Yifu, who was covered in gunpowder smoke. Qian Guandai yelled "Master Bian" one after another, and made that unprecedented smile, which made Yifu Bian feel that the familiar Qian Guandai had become unfamiliar. In Yifu Bian's memory, Qian Guandai was very arrogant, but he was very arrogant when he didn't work as a pipe and only served as a left whistle officer.

Dou Chong can only win but not lose, and he doesn't smile when he wins, as if he is trying to save face. Forcibly selling opium to him, and always pretending to be fake. Of course, he has never been called "Bian Ye". When he is happy, he calls him "Mr. Bian". Just the day before yesterday, the supervisor wanted to arrest him as a rebel! Today, he actually called him "Master"! The changes brought about by the revolution are truly breathtaking. Li Erye standing next to Qian Guandai is also shocking. When Yifu Bian first saw Li Erye, he was afraid that Li Erye would blame him for hating him.

Unexpectedly, when Mr. Li learned that he ordered the firing, he not only didn't blame him, but also punched him in the chest. He laughed and said, "Well, Mr. Bian, how dare you use cannons to bombard me!" , Bang Qian Guandai! It’s the right time to hit Qian Guandai! With this bombing, Qian Guandai’s determination is finally made!” Yifu Bian was clever. After he believed that he had obtained the qualifications to be equal to Qian Guandai and Li Erye, he put aside his previous suspicions, held Qian Guandai in one hand, and Li Erye in the other. Shaking vigorously, she said again and again: "Grandma Nanmen Xia is in a hurry, she is in a hurry, there is no other way but to fire the cannon! There is really no way! This has surprised you two masters!"

Qian Guandai hurriedly said: "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised, if you don't shoot these few shots, I won't be convinced by those brothers below! They are not me, they are sincere to your party members, and they have a bright heart!" Li Erye also said: "What a cool ball! Qian Guandai and I are both people who have gone through major events!" Qian Guandai said: "Yes! Yes! What happened to us who eat military rations? Naturally, we can't compare with you, Mr. Bian. You are full of guts, and you are too shrewd. You are so shrewd." I became fine. The day before yesterday, my old uncle and I, oh, it’s Bi Hongen, the magistrate, so I asked you, and you didn’t even say that you were a revolutionary party. My old uncle and I couldn’t get in touch if we wanted to start an incident with you. .In this way, today's misunderstanding has arisen! If the day before yesterday..."

Yifu Bian didn't want to talk about "the day before yesterday" with Qian Guandai, and he couldn't talk about "the day before yesterday". He and Wang Sanshun were scared and fled in embarrassment.Talking about it is showing my own timidity. Therefore, Bian Yifu did not take Qian Guantai's talk about "the day before yesterday", but only asked: "How is Mr. Bi? Where are you now?" Qian Guan said: "Master Bi, it's alright! He is waiting for you at the magistrate's yamen. He has let go of his words. He said that he wants to discuss with you. How about an independent law?"

When Yifu Bian heard that Mr. Bi, the magistrate, valued him so much, he was no longer in control of his mouth and heart, so he hurriedly said to Qian Guandai: "Then we can't let Mr. Bi wait, we have to go quickly, and go to discuss with Mr. Bi about independent affairs. It’s a matter! We still have to... we have to issue a notice immediately to An Min.” There was a mess around, and guns were still ringing in the direction of the old fort in the south of the city. Second Master Li said, "The green battalion is still occupying the old fort. Let's go discuss a ball now? We have to beat the green battalion first and then talk about it!"

Yifu Bian was startled, and then responded, "Yes, yes, if the old fort is not captured, Xinhong will not be regarded as the final recovery!" Qian Guandai first insisted on going to the magistrate's yamen with Bian Yifu, but Bian Yifu had decided to attack the green camp first, so Qian Guandai succumbed. Brothers in the army went to fight the green camp. Under the attack of the militiamen and patrol battalions from both sides inside and outside the city, the green battalion only lasted for less than two hours, and then couldn't bear it anymore. Jiang Biaotong learned that most of Xinhong was lost due to the righteousness of the patrol battalion. He also heard that the provincial capital was independent and there was no hope of reinforcements, so he committed suicide.The right post guarding the castle raised a white flag, and the middle post and left post fled to the suburbs along a city wall next to the mountain, where birds and beasts scattered.

So far, the whole city of Xinhong has recovered. It was around twelve o'clock noon on November 11th in the third year of Xuantong. At 2:00 p.m., the leaders of various militias who liberated Xinhong, Qian Guandai, Bi Hongen, and patrol battalion sentries who responded to the uprising gathered in the magistrate’s Yamen, and announced Xinhong’s departure from Manchuria under the flag of the Revolutionary Party’s iron-blooded eighteen stars. An independent proclamation by the Qing government. The announcement was written by Bi Hongen, the magistrate, and the ink was still wet when it was recited in public.

The proclamation stated that the 1.2 million soldiers and civilians in the six counties of Xinhong Prefecture completely ended the 275 years of slavery of the Manchu and Qing aliens on this day and returned to the motherland.After independence, Xinhong supported the military government of the provincial capital that had become independent a few hours ago, and accepted the Hubei military government of the Republic of China as the national interim government representing the Chinese people. The words and phrases in the statement were all copied from the "Republic of China Government Gazette", and they contained all the necessary content. There were not many sentences, but not many sentences. None of the participants had any objections.Then the proclamation was unanimously approved, and it was decided to immediately replace the telegram with text and inform the whole country.

For the participants, the independent statement is not important, what is important is: who will preside over the post-recovery New Deal. With Qian Guandai's patrol battalion and Bi Hongen's former officials on the one hand, and Xiagu, Li Shuangyin and other militia leaders on the other, disagreements arose on this issue. The two sides each launched their own representatives to preside over the New Deal, and they refused to give in to each other, which formed a deadlock. The representative launched by the militia is Xia Gu. The old officials of the former dynasty and the sentry officers of the patrol battalion pushed out Bi Hongen. The militia believed that Bi Hongen was an old official of the former dynasty and was forced to respond to the revolution when the army was approaching the city. The old officials of the former dynasty and the patrol battalion believed that the ministries of the militia were originally green forests. Although they were under the banner of a revolutionary party, they were definitely not a real revolutionary party. The people of this city caused groundless fear and tarnished the reputation of the restoration. The two sides couldn't reach an agreement. After talking about it, they almost drew their guns quickly. At this time, it was already dark, and the atmosphere at the meeting was very tense, so Bi Hongen suggested to have dinner first, and while eating, think again in line with the two principles of serving the world and being responsible to the people of this city. Yes, let's discuss after dinner.On this point, the two sides formed a consensus and agreed. I didn't go out for dinner, but I called a few tables of food and wine to the magistrate's yamen, and ate it hastily in the magistrate's yamen. After dinner, when the militiamen were still thinking about breaking the deadlock, they never thought that the former prefect Bi Hongen would throw out a brand new proposal, recommending Yifu Bian on behalf of the patrol battalion and the former officials. Bi Hongen took out the contact post sent by Yifu Bian and Wang Sanshun the day before yesterday and said: "...There must be a real revolutionary party here, and Mr. Bian counts as one. Mr. Bian went to the city to make contact before the incident. Today After the liberation, the Revolutionary Party’s iron-blooded eighteen-star flag was hung again, so, in line with the idea of ​​the world’s eunuch, we would like to elect Mr. Bian Yifu to lead the organization of the New Deal.” When Bi Hongen said these words, Yifu Bian was still thinking about how to push Aunt Xia to the top. He never thought that Bi Hongen would ask him to organize the New Deal.At that time, Yifu Bian thought he had heard it wrong, until everyone in the room turned their attention to him, and then asked Bi Hongen anxiously: "Master Bi, are you making fun of me?" Bi Hongen did not look happy, and said to Yifu Bian very sincerely: "Who can talk nonsense about such a big matter? You, Mr. Bian, dare to come here to me and Qian Guan to carry out the revolution, and you should take up the responsibility today." The responsibilities of the New Deal." When Yifu Bian heard that Bi Hongen mentioned the movement revolution again, he felt more guilty, stood up and waved his hands again and again: "Master Bi, everyone, brothers... Brothers really can't do it. Brothers think that whether it is Aunt Xia or Master Bi, they are better than brothers." Much stronger, so..." Before Yifu Bian finished speaking, the money management belt stood up, interrupted Yifu Bian's words, and, like telling a story, announced the righteousness of Yifu Bian's movement and revolution again, saying with nose and eyes that Yifu Bian was How heroic, how tearfully telling the 275-year painful history of the Han nation, led to the participation of the Patrol Battalion and Bi Zhifu in the uprising, and the recovery of Xinhong. Therefore, today Yifu Bian presided over the New Deal Well deserved. Yifu Bian's first real speculation in his military and political career started after Qian Guandai said these words.He still wanted to support Aunt Xia in his heart, but when he opened his mouth, his words changed, and he began to tell stories like a dream. The reason is that Qian Guandai and Mr. Bi are not easy. Out of the righteousness of the revolution, he expressed himself on the spot Liberate Xinhong's proposition and promise to respond to it on the day of the militia uprising. "Therefore," Bian Yifu finally said, "whether Aunt Xia came to organize the New Deal or Mrs. Bi came to organize the New Deal, I think it's all logical, and brothers all agree with it." However, the patrol battalion and the old officials could not accept a female bandit at all, and the civilian army could not accept Mrs. Bi who speculated on the revolution. In the end, the representatives of the two parties decided to adopt Bian Yifu as the governor of the Xinhong Dahan Military Government, presiding over the military administration of Xinhong City and six counties, and all the militias and patrol battalions under his jurisdiction.In addition, Bi Hongen was appointed as the deputy governor's mansion, and Xiagu was appointed as the chief of civil affairs.
