Chapter 53 whose tears are flying

After Wang Renwen, governor of Sichuan Province, received the telegram of "state-owned railways", he had mixed feelings. The good news is that now I am temporarily protecting the governor of Sichuan as the chief envoy. If I handle it properly, I can take this opportunity to become a full-time official and become the only official in Xinjiang. What is worrying is that this matter is related to the interests of tens of millions of Sichuan stockholders, and careless handling can easily cause incidents. Therefore, Wang Renwen is very cautious and has not publicly announced the decree for the time being.Instead, it sent a secret telegram to the cabinet, suggesting that the money spent on road construction should be distributed to shareholders with interest-bearing stocks, and the unused money should not be returned to the treasury, but should be kept in Sichuan to start industries and revitalize the local economy.

However, Wang Renwen's wishful thinking was obviously wrong, and there were two things he didn't expect. Unexpectedly, Zhao Erxun, the former governor of Sichuan, recommended his younger brother Zhao Erfeng as the governor of Sichuan, so he was out of luck. Zhao Erfeng was serving as Minister of Chuanbian at this time, and he was originally scheduled to intervene with Wang Renwen.Wang Renwen thinks about it, although the place is a bit remote, but it is still a big official in the frontier, which is acceptable.Just as he was about to take office, Zhao Erfeng thought Wang Renwen was a weak scholar and was not suitable for managing border defense, so he recommended his own subordinates, and Wang Renwen was out of business again.

The imperial decree has come down, the policy is like water that has been poured out, can it be taken back?If the common people are dissatisfied, they will make a comeback. What is the prestige of the imperial court? The decree also reprimanded Wang Renwen not to criticize the country's major policies, Wang Renwen's heart was completely cold.Since you are determined to let me not think about it, then I will let you not think about it, make the stall bigger and let Zhao Erfeng clean it up. Wang Renwen disclosed the content of the telegram to the shareholders of the Sichuan-Han Railway Company, and the public was in an uproar. The court not only seized the road, but also sought money.

In the early morning of May 21, 1911, hundreds of people gathered in a courtyard. The venue of the railway company was too small, so it was moved here. The podium was an old stage. Luo Lun, the shareholder representative, the deputy director of the Advisory Bureau, came to the stage and bowed to everyone first. "Dear shareholders, our elders and uncles in Sichuan! Let Sheng Xuanhuai sell the lives and properties of our Sichuan people to us, and sell them to foreigners!" The voice was loud and full of confidence, and he spit out each word slowly. What next?What is the most provocative?What is most contagious?What is most touching?

Tears of course. Men's tears are also lethal? Of course, it is powerful.Haven't you heard of "Liu Bei's country was cried out"? A woman's tears can only make a man's heart ache; a man's tears can change the color of a country. So, no need to say much, just cry, Luo Lun. Luo Lun had already entered the state, and at this time he was crying happily, crying hoarsely at the top of his voice.The cry mobilized all emotions, grievance, resentment, despair, and the audience played a symphony of sorrow. The guards next to him and those passing by to watch the fun didn't want to cry at first, but now they can't help but cry.

The appeal is too strong, thinking of the deceased relatives, thinking of the suffering of this life, thinking of all kinds of grievances.Usually I dare not cry, for fear of being laughed at by others, now take this opportunity to vent my heart out. Crying and yelling "swear to the death", what are you against?I don't know, others call it that and I call it that. With tears all over the sky, the "Sichuan Baolu Comrades Association" was established. Everyone hasn't had enough of crying yet, so we went to the governor's office to cry for the governor to see.

Wang Renwen came out, wearing an official uniform, and waved frequently to the tear-stained shareholders, and he was rewarded with prolonged and warm applause. The master moved a grand master's chair, and Wang Renwen stood on it and said emotionally: "Fathers and folks, I deeply sympathize with your situation. I will definitely pass on your reasonable requests to the court. I am willing to be your mouthpiece. Brothers, although I am born I am in Dali, but my ancestral home is Sichuan. Sichuan is also my hometown, and the folks in my hometown are my relatives." The applause sounded again, and the cry came again.

Wang Renwen was a little emotional, a little sad, and a little confused. The Chinese people are so kind, and they are so moved by saying a little bit of pleasant words. Everyone was so high (emotions were high), Wang Renwen also went all out, and he burst into tears in an instant. The man's tears came in handy again. At this time, the tears were not water, but gasoline. The extremely high-purity gasoline was enough to ignite the raging fire in everyone's chest, and the atmosphere in the audience reached boiling point. The fire has been lit, and the next step is how to burn it.Of course, the fire can't be too big, and the stamina will not be enough after burning all at once.

Comrade Baolu will aim his firepower at Sheng Xuanhuai and Shi Changxin, betraying the country and selling the way; you can attack private individuals, but don't touch the court.This will neither embarrass Wang Renwen too much, but also keep the movement within a legal range. Wang Renwen left, leaving the lit fire and endless tears to Zhao Erfeng. Zhao Erfeng is enjoying the bright sunshine on the plateau, are you ready?
