Chapter 99 Chapter 3 A Good Man Who Eats Soft Rice

Cheng Dequan refused to accept the scrapped banknotes, and Chen Qimei from Shanghai sent a telegram, promising that the money would arrive in the account soon: it will be in the account immediately, you should start the incident first, and the money will be in the account as soon as the gun is fired... Anyway, a very sincere confession. Huang Xing persuaded Cheng Dequan: "Old Cheng, don't hesitate. Old Chen's words are firm, and it is impossible to fool you."He is a big boss of the Green Gang, you don't doubt the character of the big boss, do you? Cheng Dequan was taken aback: no doubt, no doubt...who is tired of work, dare to doubt the character of the boss?

Huang Xing was relieved: I knew you wouldn't doubt it, so let's do it! On July 15, 1913, Huang Xing issued a telegram to discuss his inauguration as Commander-in-Chief of Yuan Jun in Jiangsu, and then issued an oath to discuss Yuan Jun. After the oath was over, Huang Xingzheng discussed the details of the incident with Bai Wenwei, the governor of Anhui, who had been dismissed by Yuan Shikai.At this time, a man named Chen Taoyi came and said to Huang Xing: "Old Huang, old Cheng Chengde has entrusted me to beg you. He wants to go to Shanghai and reunite with his family. Let's see if it is...

What?At that time, Bai Wenwei became angry when he heard it, and jumped up and said: It is best to cut the mess quickly with a sharp knife and die, so as to avoid future troubles.Or for humanitarian reasons, they should be detained immediately, otherwise major events will be ruined. Huang Xing couldn't do anything about it. Speaking of Lao Cheng, he was really too careless.Cheng Dequan married his wife Qin Shi at the age of 18, and the whole family was supported by his wife.Later, he finally became an official, but he was taken to the Northeast by the bureaucracy. In order to support the family, Mrs. Qin was exhausted to death.Then Cheng Dequan married a new wife, Liu Shi, so the responsibility of raising Cheng's family fell on Liu Shi's shoulders.

The former wife Qin's way of supporting Cheng Dequan's family was mainly to wear stars and moons, and go to the fields to plant crops. This was pure hard work, so Qin's life was exhausted.The second wife, Mrs. Liu, is a smart financial professional lady. She is best at buying wasteland with very little money, and then selling it at a high price after the appreciation, so the Cheng family is getting richer and richer, and Mrs. Liu has also avoided the exhaustion of her predecessor. Tragic fate. But Cheng Dequan was not short of money, so his father secretly saved 10,000 taels of silver and gave it to his son to buy land.But as soon as Cheng Dequan went out, he gave all the money to the poor.This incident caused a great sensation in the local area. After the sensation, more people stayed outside Lao Cheng's house every day, waiting for money from the fool Lao Cheng.Just imagine Lao Cheng's style, if it wasn't for the smartness of his second wife, would he have a chance to become rich?

Cheng Dequan, governor of Jiangsu Province, whose family relies on two wives to support his family, is the most well-known story in the history of the Republic of China-I don't understand how such a strange and careless incident has become a good story. Huang Xing didn't have the courage to let Huang Xing openly kill Cheng Dequan who was supported by his wife. We can only send lobbyists, but we must keep Cheng Dequan.If he is here, it means that Yuan Shikai has lost all hearts; if he is gone, it means the opposite.Therefore, Lao Cheng cannot be let go. The lobbyists were mighty, foaming at the mouth, and full of tongues, forming a group to fool Cheng Dequan.

Cheng Dequan replied: If you want to maintain the overall situation, why not discuss it with your ministers beforehand?You use me to issue notices and send telegrams, and all you have used is exhausted.My family members are gone now, so those who leave my son here, let them take my dead ear.I must go, or I would rather drink and die. Listen to this, Lao Cheng knows Huang Xing's methods very well.He sent his wife away first, leaving only one son to collect his body here. With this posture, how can Huang Xing make a move? There is no way to start. Cheng Dequan can only be allowed to leave.

So Cheng Dequan went to Shanghai, and immediately sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai when he arrived in Shanghai. The telegram said: On the 15th of this month, the officers of the Eighth Division stationed in Ningxia and other officers demanded independence.Dequan has been suffering for two days, and his old illness has been recurring, and it is hard for him to lean on it. Today he came to Shanghai for treatment. After explaining the process of Nanjing's independence to Yuan Shikai clearly, Cheng Dequan breathed a sigh of relief.Now, he declared the independence of Nanjing, showed his loyalty to the revolutionaries, and then sent a telegram to tell Yuan Shikai what had happened, and made an account of the duties entrusted to him by the government.From now on, Cheng De has nothing to owe in his heart, and he will wholeheartedly continue to enjoy the happy time of letting his wife take care of him.
