Chapter 8 Chapter VII

Pan Gaozhi asked people to go to the capital When Zhang Zuolin saw that he was appointed as the "commander", he was satisfied.He hurriedly stood up, smiled and gave a thousand, and said: "Serve the commander-in-chief, Zuolin will die!" Zhao Erxun saw that Zhang Zuolin's asking price was not high, so he was satisfied with the first move, and he was also happy.He hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up and said: "There is no need to be too polite. As long as you do things well in the future, I will not treat you badly." Zhang Zuolin sat back to his original place, and said, "Don't worry, Commander, what happened to this group, and that gang are rebels, and I will clean them up in a short time!"

"I believe! Believe that you will succeed in no time!" "My lord, please give instructions." Zhao Erxun told Zhang Zuolin of his plan—it was nothing more than eliminating the top figures who opposed him, restricting the activities of the National Security Council and the Advisory Bureau, etc.—and provided a method of action, and then said: "Commander Zhang—— He immediately said that he was in charge--the Advisory Bureau is different from the National Security Council. The chairman Wu Jinglian also pays attention to unity, and sometimes he can work with me, but he is recruited and used by the National Security Council. The National Security Council is different. It may be the Revolutionary Party, who is fighting the government to the end. Recently, Zhang Rong organized a joint radical meeting, and I heard that they are raising arms. They want to establish a military government. ,, "

"My lord, don't worry, on this site, without me, Zhang Zuolin, who wants to do anything in the name of the army, I will never agree!" "Okay." Zhao Erxun said, "After the matter is completed, I will naturally declare credit for you." The Fengtian Rebellion was a small wave in the great chaos in China.In order to temporarily buffer the attack, the imperial court announced the "Outline of the Organization of the Provincial Councils".Based on this, Fengtian Province formed a consultative bureau composed of fifty members, and elected Wu Jinglian as its chairman.The original intention of doing this is to serve as a representative body of public opinion under the supervision of the governor, just to deceive people.But the Government will never act on the arguments of Members.The revolutionary party in Fengtian is now openly active, and its leader is Zhang Rong.They gave speeches and handed out leaflets in cities and villages, and imitated the situation in the southern provinces, and issued the "Fengtian Declaration of Independence".

Wu Jinglian, the newly elected chairman of the Fengtian Advisory Council, is a shrewd, yet treacherous person. Looking at the turbulent southern revolutionary upsurge, he has an inclination in Fengtian, and he expresses his attitude and supports the revolutionary actions of Zhang Rong and others. , And in the parliament, according to the appeal of people from all walks of life, prepare a security committee to save the crisis.Finally, the Fengtian National Security Association was finally established.At that time, the national revolution was what the people wanted. The Consultative Council, the Security Council and some social celebrities combined to further discuss and form a large alliance, established the United Radical Association, and elected Zhang Rong as its chairman.

Just when Fengtian ignited the flames of revolution, Zhang Zuolin came.Zhao Erxun gave him another commanding title, so, like a fire brigade, he used the fire extinguisher pointing at the flames of revolution! For putting out the fire, Zhang Zuolin originally wanted to hold the staff with open fire, and when the soldiers entered the city, they would arrest them all.Then, kill what should be killed, chase what should be chased, and have a quick fight.However, neither Zhang Jinghui nor Tang Yulin agreed to do so. "It's fun to do this, but it's a lot of trouble." Zhang Jinghui said: "Besides, we still don't know how many soldiers the radicals will have, and whether they can win in one fell swoop is still uncertain."

"What's the trouble?" Zhang Zuolin asked back. Zhang Jinghui considered things carefully. He saw clearly that the tide of "revolution" was coming. Although the Northeast was just a spark, as far as the whole of China was concerned, it should be a blazing flame. It might be possible to wipe out the revolutionary party with an open fire stick. Will become a sinner through the ages.He thought of this level, but he couldn't explain it to Zhang Zuolin.Zhang Zuolin, who was born in the green forest, is not what he cares about through the ages.If you have wine today, you will be drunk today! Therefore, Zhang Jinghui avoids reality and puts forward a matter-of-fact opinion. "If you send troops to fight hard, there will be casualties on both sides. Wouldn't it be better if you don't use troops to take but plan to take it."

"What's the plan?" "The Radical Society has a meeting every day, and when the main leaders are there on a certain day, send troops to surround the meeting place, and then arrest a few key figures and pull them out to kill them. They say they are against the imperial court and should be killed! Once the leader is killed, the organization will naturally Scattered board. The name is justified, and the purpose is achieved." Zhang Zuolin patted the table and jumped up. "Okay, good idea. I don't think my brother is really resourceful!" Tang Yulin also said: "This is the best way. We are now officers and soldiers. We stomp our feet in the three eastern provinces, and the Xing'an Mountains and Songhua River will be shaken! Therefore, we have to look like an official. The heroes of Liangshan are still doing justice for the sky. Qi, why can’t we say that we are doing things according to the imperial decree? If we do something wrong, let them scold the imperial decree! If you scold the eight generations of ancestors, don’t care about us!” Zhang Zuolin glared at Tang Yulin--1 Gen His words slipped a bit.But he still said: "That's the way to do it, you go to inquire about the news, if you are sure, I will do it!"

In a small alley in Dongguan, Shenyang, there is a small house in the shape of a Beijing courtyard house, with gray bricks and gray tiles, simple and elegant; outside the tall gate building, there are two tower-shaped green pines, and there is an empty field outside the green pines.People commonly call it the Zhou Mansion.But I don't know which Zhougong's museum it is.The courtyard walls and houses are quite old, and the old locust tree in the courtyard can be more evidence; several of the tree trunks that surround it have decayed into caves, and most of the sticks and branches on the tree are dead without leaves, and only the cortex is derived. On the new branches that came out, there were still green leaves that were not vigorous, which seemed to only prove that "this old tree is still alive"; the central branch of the tree rushed to the sky, and there was a bird's nest lying on the right of the tree, which had already passed away. I don’t know whose house it belongs to. The four-sided house is here, and the Beijing courtyard is much larger. The main house is arranged in seven rooms with three bright lights and four dark rooms, and it is as wide as the Daxiong Palace.Today, this courtyard has been converted into the office of the Consultative Bureau of Fengtian Province.The first two west partition walls of the main room were knocked out, and the darkness was turned into light, and it was changed into the conference hall of the Consultative Council, where the United Radical Council's meetings are being held.The boat spot burns to the firm ≮ the lady is hot and sighs

The same, quietly, the two blackened wooden doors were tightly closed.Suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses rushed over here.When the soldiers came to the broad oath under the tower, they immediately separated from the left and right, surrounding the yard like a vise; an officer led a few burly men, kicked open the gate, and walked towards the conference hall with his head held high. He is Zhang Zuolin, the newly appointed Fengtian front road and middle road patrol commander and deputy head of the Fengtian National Security Association's military command department. Zhang Zuolin's army is in order, commanding a broadsword at his waist; those burly men all have a broadsword in their back, holding a shiny black gun with a big nose, as majestic as its owner, and the cold is threatening!

The intrusion of several Heisha gods immediately caused chaos in the ongoing joint radical meeting: everyone was terrified, and some cowards had shrunk under the stools, and some wanted to take advantage of the chaos and slip away. Zhang Zuolin rushed to the door and stood still, shouting: "No one is allowed to move!" Then he swept towards the venue with fierce eyes. The venue was completely silent, with terrified faces and stunned eyes looking at Zhang Zuolin from different directions.Zhang Zuolin glanced around for a moment, then walked into the venue with square steps.He walked half a circle around the venue, came to the rostrum, stood still, put the pistol in his hand on the table in front of him, and then said loudly: "Everyone, don't lie, this is not being held here, including the National Security Council." I’m also a member of the United Radical Council. Let’s get to know each other first. I’m Zhang Zuolin, the deputy director of the Military Command Department of the National Security Association!” After a pause, he said, “It’s surprising that even I, the deputy director, can hold such a meeting. It's too rude not to say hello!"

Zhang Rong, who presided over the meeting, had already turned blue with anger.He had been informed that the governor might "not agree, take some action" about their meeting.Zhao Erxun opposed the establishment of the Security Council in Fengtian, and Zhang Rong knew about it; Zhao Erxun opposed the national revolution, and he was also relatively resolute.However, Zhao Erxun sent troops to treat them, which Zhang Rong did not expect.Later, when Zhang Rong heard that Zhao Erxun had appointed the Deputy Director of the Military Command Department of the National Security Council, he thought that Zhao Erxun had changed his mind and sympathized with the national revolution! When he found out the situation and found out that Zhang Zuolin had assumed this role, he panicked Get up——Zhang Zuolin, a big bandit, defected to the Qing government from the bandits. He was a person who firmly opposed the national revolution. He joined the National Security Council. How could he join the National Security Council to revolutionize the Qing Dynasty? Originally, at this radical meeting, Zhang Rong wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to announce that he "does not recognize Zhang Zuolin as the deputy minister", but before it was too late, he broke in.Judging from the situation, there must be more danger than danger, and a fight is inevitable.Zhang Rong puffed up her chest, and said to Zhang Zuolin, "I am Zhang Rong, the president of the United Radical Association, please tell me if you have anything to do, and don't disturb the venue." "Are you Zhang Rong?!" Zhang Zuolin sneered and said, "You have the guts! I'm here, you still have the guts to say your name, you have the guts!" Zhang Rong took a step towards him and raised his voice and said, "This is a public opinion organization. The outline of the parliamentary organization was promulgated by the imperial court. We follow the rules. I protest that you bring troops to disrupt the venue!" Zhang Zuolin walked towards Zhang Rong and stared at it. With a slap, he raised his hand and slapped him in the face. "Damn old ×, I'm here to disturb the venue!" He turned his face to the door and shouted: "Come on, tie him up for me! I think this little bastard can go to heaven?" Several big men broke in and tied Zhang Rong tightly with colorful ropes. Zhang Zuolin waved to the door again, and Zhang Jinghui, who was standing outside the door, was wearing a long gown and top hat, and Binbin walked in.He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, put on his glasses, and slowly read the names of one person after another.Every time a person was read, Zhang Zuolin shouted loudly: "Come out!" When the person who was read came out, the guards immediately tied them up.After tying up eight people in a row, Zhang Jinghui nodded to Zhang Zuolin-these eight people were all arrested by Governor Zhao Erxun by name. Eight people were tied up, and the people in the venue were even more panicked. Some trembled, some turned pale, some lowered their heads, and some stood up in anger, glaring. Zhang Zuolin signaled to take the eight people outside, picked up the pistol on the table, slowly inserted it into his waist, smiled slightly, and began to speak. "I have already signed up. I think everyone has heard clearly that I am Zhang Zuolin! We are all one family, so you don't have to be afraid. The people arrested just now are all rebels and bad people. They want to set fire to Fengtian City, kill people, Setting fire is the most heinous sinner. So, I will cut off their heads!" He looked at the crowd who were standing and sitting differently, and said: "There is a sentence that must be explained here, that is, please don't forget What happened today! In the future, we must be more clear in our hearts, abide by the law, serve the public, and be honest!" There was no sound at the venue, only the sound of uneven breathing shocked people's hearts! Zhang Zuolin stepped down from the rostrum, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone, go and do whatever you need. What will you do in the future, please do it yourself!" The crowd walked out of the courtyard with different attitudes and moods. Since entering the government, Zhang Zuolin has attached himself to the highest and earliest official, Governor Zhao Erxun.But he never dared to cling to him too tightly, for fear that the matter of robbing the governor's third concubine would be revealed.During the two years when Zhao Erxun was transferred to Huguang, Zhang Zuolin was extremely relaxed. He hoped that Zhao Erxun would be transferred further and never return to the Northeast.Zhang Zuolin did a lot of bad things, such as killing people, setting fires, blocking roads and robbing. For some reason, they were forgotten after passing by, and he didn't even dream about it.The only thing he couldn't let go of was the robbery of the governor's third concubine.Then Zhao Erxun just left, but he came back again; when he came back, he got so close to Zhang Zuolin again! Zhang Zuolin really couldn't do without him.Therefore, Zhang Zuolin secretly made up his mind: "We must obey Governor Zhao's instructions, and do more things that satisfy him. If the old things come out in the future, we can use merit to make up for the crime!" Zhang Zuolin secretly made such a determination in this operation. The people in the siheyuan dispersed, Zhang Zuolin walked out of the venue, and asked the big guards who came with him to put eight people on the cart that had been prepared, tightened the ropes, and put "death cards" on each person's back. The car began to parade through the streets.Along the way, the trumpets were blown and the crimes announced, with a huge and astonishing momentum.When encountering a crowded place, Zhang Zuolin ordered the car to be parked and publicized the "deserving crime" of the eight people.After traveling almost all over the city, he was escorted to the intersection of Zhongxin Street, dragged out of the car, and beheaded. Eight radical revolutionary young people splashed blood on the long street and lay their corpses on the road. All the spectators bowed their heads in pain! Zhang Zuolin killed eight revolutionary parties and posted notices on the four gates, saying: "If you rebel the party and do evil, you will be killed!" Fengtian The city is even more terrifying. At the beginning of the 20th century, the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolutionary trend flourished in China.The rulers hate this situation and want to put an end to it in one fell swoop.This gives many speculators a chance to "upgrade".Zhang Zuolin wanted to make contributions and thrive in this trend of killing the revolution.Fengtian killed eight "rebellious parties" in an attempt to stabilize the situation in the Northeast of the Qing Dynasty, but this massacre provoked even greater revolutionary actions; The riots attacked the county government and seized the seal of the county magistrate in one fell swoop; the revolutionaries continued to attack the government in western Liaoning and Liaoyang; armed riots also occurred frequently in southern Liaoning. Everywhere, everything is full of soldiers! The day after Zhang Zuolin killed Zhang Rong and others, his spies reported: "The revolutionary party has come from the south again, and they are going to riot in Fengtian City!" Zhang Zuolin immediately led his soldiers to the railway station to search and arrest.As a result, nothing was found.The spies reported again: "The revolutionaries have entered Fengtian City and are about to carry out an assassination!" Zhang Zuolin became more vigilant, and even the people around him became suspicious. One day, Zhang Zuolin passed by a small street in the west city and was walking in front of a shop when he suddenly saw a spherical paper bag flying from the roof, still emitting light smoke.He thought it was the revolutionaries who were assassinating him, so he immediately ordered the dozens of guards accompanying him to disperse, while he immediately whipped himself up and hid in a safe place.However, the ball of paper did not explode. Zhang Zuolin came back to Malaysia, arrested the owner of the store, and severely tortured him—"You are a revolutionary, aren't you?" "The villain is a real businessman," said the shopkeeper, "who knows what party?" "Nonsense! You're clearly going to murder me!" "The villain dare not, the villain dare not." "Why don't you dare, isn't that fire ball released from your room? What do you want to do if you don't murder me?" "Fireball? What fireball?" "Don't pretend to be confused. There's still smoke coming out of the house!" Only then did the shopkeeper suddenly realize. "Report to your lord, it's a villain's old lady with a backache, and she was acupunctured with a cupping pot, and it's a ball of waste paper thrown out." "It's such a coincidence that it's still in front of me, still smoking? It's obviously your sophistry. Come here, tie it up." A person was arrested for no reason.Only two days later, the owner of the shop was killed outside the city along with more than a dozen other people. Zhang Zuolin massacred innocent people in Fengtian, and the people became more panicked, and the officers and soldiers gradually felt uneasy.Governor Zhao Erxun originally wanted to invite Zhang Zuolin to Fengtian, so that he could be deterred and not make those rebellious parties and bandits too hard on him.Unexpectedly, this Zhang Zuolin was too cruel by nature to be killed! Zhang Zuolin was invited by his governor, and the commander was personally appointed by his governor, and he secretly ordered Zhang Zuolin to kill Zhang Rong.The expansion of the situation will naturally be borne by him, Governor Zhao.Seventy-two-year-old Zhao Erxun felt that Zhang Zuolin was too lenient. Now, after a period of massacres, the United Radical Association no longer exists, and the National Security Council is also in name only. The only thing left is the Consultative Bureau, the so-called representative body of public opinion, which is still on the verge of collapse.
