Chapter 40 Section 4 Take off the fat boy's head

Zhou Yongneng, a veteran of 1911, was originally from Jiangxi. When he talked about the Nanjing Mutiny after a long time, he couldn't help crying and his voice choked up.He said: The army is most afraid of hearing the word disbandment. If there is no war, wouldn't it be disbanded?This was the basic reason for the Nanjing mutiny on April 11, and I was also present at this mutiny, and I know the details of the mutiny. ... At about 11 o'clock in the evening on April 10, a fire broke out near the third archway. Soldiers from other provinces went to see it. We closed the door of the hotel tightly to prevent the soldiers from going out for fear of accidents.In the middle of the night, the soldiers who took advantage of the fire to loot came back, and our army's morale was a little shaken.When it was dawn, a certain Zhengmu (corporate leader) of the Gan army took a saber and opened the door, and rushed out with the soldiers. They said: why can't we take things?Just at this time, the troops sent by Huang Keqiang (left behind in Nanjing) to suppress also arrived.The ones who were caught were all the Jiangxi troops who had just left, and the Hunan and Zhejiang troops who robbed the most fiercely had already left the scene. Therefore, the Gan army was solely responsible for the mutiny. It is generally believed that the Gan army mutiny is really wronged...

Judging from Mr. Zhou's narration, the Nanjing Mutiny was clearly a conspiracy. Someone took this opportunity to kill all the Jiangxi soldiers. As for the background behind this incident, since no one has ever delved into it, the truth is unknown. Platoon Leader Chen, who was the first to instigate the mutiny, was randomly shot and killed by the law enforcement team.And the strange man who encouraged the soldiers to rebel, who looked like he had a beard and was clearly beardless, has since disappeared. Just looking at this person's strange appearance, he is probably Tie Zhong, a close confidant of Rui Li, the former governor of the Qing Dynasty.

Although we don't have any evidence that Tie Zhong came to Nanjing, judging from his course of action at that time, it is extremely possible that the weird person is him. It is said that Tie Zhong is a man, shrewd and capable, with superior ability.Long before the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, he repeatedly asked Governor Rui Li not to delve into it, so as not to anger the party members.Moreover, when the command center of the party members was cracked and the party members Peng Chufan, Liu Fuji and Yang Hongsheng were tried, Tie Zhong tried his best to cover up for the three and wanted to release them.It was only because the three patriots refused to accept his favor and confessed that they were revolutionaries, Tie Zhong had no choice but to order the beheading of the three.

In short, Tie Zhong should not be underestimated. If he had listened to him, the Wuchang Uprising would not have happened. But the revolution happened after all, and Tie Zhong and his boss Rui Cheng went to the Shanghai Concession and started an apartment from then on.It never occurred to him that Tie Liang, the former general of the Ning and Han Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, also rushed to Shanghai with his mighty assassins, vowing to kill Rui Cheng to punish him for the crime of dragging down the empire's demise. Tie Liang was so powerful, Rui Li knew best in his heart, knowing that he really couldn't escape, so he cried and begged his cronies Tie Zhong to intercede, as long as he didn't kill him, he could say anything.

So Tie Zhong went to see Tie Liang, knelt at Tie Liang's feet, and begged for his boss. Tie Liang didn't want to but said: It's fine not to kill Rui Cheng, but he must give me back the Qing Empire. Tie Zhong's face was full of despair: This... the court has perished, how can he pay you back. Tie Liang said: Of course he can't pay it back, but you can! Tie Zhong: ...you want me to... Tie Liang: That’s right, unless you agree to join the Clan Socialist Party and go to Wuchang to take Li Ni Yuanhong’s head off, if Li’s family dies, the loyal monarchs in all provinces will surely rise up, and it is not impossible for the imperial court to be restored at that time.

In desperation, in order to save the boss's life, Tie Zhong became the head of the southern headquarters of the Clan Socialist Party, so he shaved off his beard and made up a beardless person—but his appearance was too special. Although he shaved off his beard, he still wore It gives people a strong illusion that he shouldn't be without a beard - such a description, so I suspect that he is the one who instigated the Nanjing Mutiny. But it is not clear whether it is Tie Zhong or not.Because Tie Zhong was forced to get fat boy Li Yuanhong, but Li Yuanhong is not easy to deal with?Even Beiyang Yuan Shikai didn't dare to look down on Li Yuanhong. Although Tie Zhong's ability is strong, he is obviously inferior to Fat Boy.
