Chapter 172 Chapter 12

As early as after Sichuan General Chen Huan was ordered by Yuan Shikai to guard Shuchuan, some extremely terrifying and strange things began to occur in this place. According to the records of Tianjin "Ta Kung Pao" on October 15, 1915, there were two supernatural events in Sichuan at that time, which were the most surprising: In addition, superstition is quite prevalent in Sichuan Province, and rumors of ghosts and ghosts are heard from time to time.There is a mansion in Shizi Lane, the provincial capital, who has lived in his room for several years. Recently, there are rumors of ghosts haunting him. At first, only the doors and windows rattled, but then a few cases in the room were automatic for no reason. A wet nurse guards.Suddenly I don't see it, I look for it urgently, I am unconscious under the tree in the backyard, I pour it with ginger soup, and after a long time, I start Su, people are like ghosts, doubts can't be understood, and the whole city has been rumored to be a miracle.Also, a ten-year-old boy in Shunhe Street in Shaocheng shouted that there was a ghost, and he jumped into the Jinhe River. Someone rescued him immediately, but he didn't understand human affairs, and he kept muttering nonsense. Everyone who saw it was different, but in fact, there is no such thing in the world. ghost.It is still just that the ghosts in the daily social psychology can be found everywhere.

In this news report nearly a hundred years ago, the last sentence is true and scientific and standardized: ghosts in social psychology are found everywhere on weekdays.What is the ghost of daily social psychology?This overview is roughly talking about the collective unconscious, which can also be called collective hallucinations.There is a book called "The Crowd", which has an extremely accurate description of group hallucinations. From the perspective of modern group psychology, it means that the Sichuan ghost incident must involve two specific and definite characters, one is an elderly woman and the other is a child.Either it was reported by the media, or it was spread wildly by gossip. In short, there was a topic about the old woman and her child, which aroused the extreme attention of the people of Sichuan.

Whose family does this old woman and child belong to?Why do the people of Shuchuan pay attention to such two people unconsciously? Regarding this matter, Hu Egong, a current member of the Kuomintang and later a member of the Communist Party of China, who was lurking beside General Chen Huan in Sichuan, knew best. It is said that the five southern provinces were independent and worked together to deal with Yuan Shikai, so Cai E freed up his hands and devoted himself to repairing his old friend Chen Huan.Every day, Cai E had to write several letters to Chen Huan, and the envoys lined up in a continuous line to deliver letters to Sichuan.There were so many messengers that a street of snacks was formed outside the provincial capital, and the people sitting there eating Dandan noodles were all messengers from the five southern provinces to deliver letters to Chen Huan.

Chen Huan was besieged by messengers, and his mental state was greatly affected. One day, he suddenly called Hu Egong into a secret room. After entering, Chen Huan did not say a word.Hu Egong waited for a long time, and was about to ask, when Chen Huan burst into tears. Weeping bitterly, Chen Huan said: There is only a gray-haired old mother and a disabled son in my family. They... Hu Egong blinked again and again, no wonder there are rumors about old ladies and children in Sichuan and Sichuan. It turns out that the resentment in Chen Huan's heart is too heavy, which is projected onto the group subconscious of the public, forming a group psychological phantom.

This also means that the psychological pressure that Chen Huan has endured has exceeded his ability to bear. Maybe once his mind breaks down, he will do extreme things. He really worked it out. He sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai, claiming to break up with Yuan Shikai.The full text of the telegram reads as follows: The eunuch Yu Jiangri went to Dianxiang City and begged him to abdicate, which was the first advice.Originally, he hoped that he would learn from this enthusiasm, return to Yi audio-visual, and make a decisive decision to resolve this dispute.But when the reply telegram came, it was a place for delay after proper planning.The eunuch is too self-conscious, so he gave the second advice in Wenri, saying that abdication is one thing, and the aftermath is another thing.If he got a reply, it was said that it had been proposed by Feng Huafu at the Nanjing meeting.It is Xiang Cheng's so-called abdication cloud, not out of sincerity, or being held hostage by left and right gangsters.The eunuch pleaded for the people of Sichuan, Xiang Chengxu and the snake, it was Xiang Cheng who cut himself off from Sichuan first, and the eunuch had to say goodbye to Xiang Cheng on behalf of the people of Sichuan.Starting today, Sichuan Province has severed ties with Yuan Shi personally. Any day Yuan Shi disposes of Sichuan affairs in the name of the government will be deemed invalid by Sichuan Province.

It was this telegram that pissed Yuan Shikai to death. The Beiyang warriors headed by Duan Qirui believed that Yuan Shikai was from Beiyang, and Beiyang could bully him, but he was definitely not qualified to do so.Therefore, it is necessary for Beiyang to avenge Yuan Shikai's vengeance. To put it bluntly, it is also to protect Beiyang's interests. Well, none of the five southern provinces pissed Yuan Shikai to death, nor did Sun Wen’s revolutionary party piss him off. Why did this telegram alone piss Yuan Shikai to death? This is because there was a sentence in the telegram that deeply hurt Yuan Shikai's fragile heart.This sentence is:

Starting today, Sichuan Province has severed ties with the Yuan family. What happened to this sentence? This sentence is not found in any telegrams from any other province, not even in the Sun Wen Revolutionary Party circular.The previous telegrams or announcements were all scolding Yuan Shikai's act of proclaiming himself emperor, or scolding indiscriminately. Yuan Shikai could accept these, after all, he was used to it. However, Chen Huan proposed to sever his personal friendship with Yuan Shikai, which Yuan Shikai could not accept.Because here, what Chen Huan denied was not Yuan Shikai's political views, let alone specific actions, but a complete denial of Yuan Shikai as a person.Also, Chen Huan was originally the person Yuan Shikai relied on most, so Yuan Shikai couldn't accept it even more.

Afterwards, Beiyang mobilized a large number of people to trace the drafter of this telegram, and it turned out that it was written by Deng Wenyuan, Chen Huan's aide.But Deng Wenyuan explained that this sentence was not included in the telegram he originally drafted, and that this hurtful sentence was added by Chen Huan himself.And why Chen Huan insisted on adding this sentence, deliberately stabbing Yuan Shikai's weakness, no one can explain the reason. The second half of Chen Huan's life was completely ruined because of this sentence.From then on, Beiyang refused to give him another chance, and he was forced to withdraw from any occasion where he might get a chance to eat, and finally he was poor and destitute, and the rest of his life.
