Song Jiaoren was ordered to investigate the Tao case, but the investigation did not go smoothly. Although someone testified against Chen Qimei, there was no sufficient evidence and he could not be taken down at all. Moreover, the delay was getting longer and longer, and there were fewer and fewer clues.
Most of the clues have been cut off, and we have basically reached a deadlock.
Moreover, Song Jiaoren was under tremendous pressure from within the Tongmenghui. Revolutionaries including Huang Xing called Song Jiaoren to ask him to stop and avoid the loss of revolutionary power. However, Song Jiaoren became more and more certain in his heart that these
The so-called revolutionaries still cannot get rid of the imprint of the old era, and they simply do not understand the problems of democratic politics.
Thinking of this, Song Jiaoren had a strong sense of belonging. After Lao Yuan ordered to replace Chen Qimei, Song Jiaoren thought about it for a while and found Zhang Taiyan. It would not be easy to capture Chen Qimei. He not only had an army in his hands, but also a large army.
To help the gangsters and the Qinghong Gang, they must use the power of the army to succeed.
Moreover, Song Jiaoren also had his own ideas. He did not want the Beiyang Army to enter the south. If he could capture Chen Qimei before Feng Guozhang, he would have a reason to prevent the Beiyang Army from entering the south. From the bottom of their hearts, Song Jiaoren and Tao Chengzhang were both guarding against Yuan Shikai.
, and did not regard him as one of our own.
Zhang Taiyan was filled with revenge at this time, so he immediately agreed to Song Jiaoren's proposal and mobilized the Liberation Army to advance to Shanghai. After Tao Chengzhang's training, the Liberation Army had a total of 30,000 elite troops. Song Jiaoren immediately commanded these troops and headed straight for Shanghai.
And go.
Chen Qimei seemed to be an ant on the hot pot at this time. He thought that if he killed Tao Chengzhang, the United Party would fall apart. At that time, if he blamed Lao Yuan, he might even set off a second revolution and oust Lao Yuan. However,
Since Song Jiaoren took over the case, the investigation pointed directly at Chen Qimei. Song Jiaoren himself was a member of the Tongmenghui, and his credibility was much stronger than that of Lao Yuan. Chen Qimei's situation became increasingly difficult.
Especially when Lao Yuan issued an order to remove Chen Qimei from the post of governor of Shanghai, and Song Jiaoren mobilized troops into Shanghai. Chen Qimei was immediately at a critical moment of life and death. He did not even go to his favorite brothel and smoked all day long.
I was smoking opium and thinking about how to deal with it. I might not be able to survive the fight. If I were caught, it would not end well. It seemed that the only way to escape was to escape!
There is a murderous atmosphere in Shanghai, but outside the city of Xufu, there are huge waves. The huge waves are constantly eroding the crumbling embankment. The soldiers and civilians in southern Sichuan have been holding on to the embankment for three full days under the command of Qiao Yu. The heavy rain shows no sign of abating.
Qiao Yu's brows knitted into a knot as he patrolled the embankment.
The people of Xufu are also used to this young patrol envoy. Whenever he passes by, they show a big smile. This supreme ruler of Sichuan can stand with them at this critical moment and eat together.
We live together and face the monstrous floods together. Although the water is three times stronger than before, the people have never been so at ease. For many years, the officials have been aloof. When did they care about their safety? Now
Finally, there was a leader standing with them. Thinking of this, there seemed to be endless energy in the body.
At this time, Shi Yi hurried over: "Commander, there has been a landslide in Pingshan, and a village has been buried in the mud!"
"No fatalities?"
"No, a soldier broke his leg while helping people evacuate!"
Qiao Yu nodded slightly: "Remember this soldier with first-class merit and report the award. The current manpower is still somewhat insufficient. When will Deng Xihou's troops arrive?"
"Report it to the commander, and we will arrive within two hours. Don't worry, commander!"
As they were talking, an embankment not far away suddenly collapsed, and a gap of more than three meters long appeared in an instant. The two civilians who were originally guarding here fell into the surging flood...
"Quick! Seal the gap quickly!"
Shi Yi was also extremely anxious. He led his guards and rushed forward carrying sandbags. The other people also recovered from the shock. One by one, they frantically picked up the sandbags and rushed towards the surging flood. Some people would
He took out all the baskets at home, filled them with sand and soil, and filled in the gaps desperately.
Qiao Yu also took action himself, together with hundreds of soldiers and civilians. Bags of stones were thrown into the rapids. His hands were scratched, his shoulders became red and swollen, sweat mixed with rain flowed into his mouth, and he had a mixed taste, but the water was still huge.
, the embankment was crumbling, Shi Yi led a dozen soldiers to connect their bodies with ropes, and jumped into the torrent. A human wall blocked the flood. The human wall looked weak, but the Xu Mansion behind him was as solid as a rock.
.
At this time, Wang Chengji organized a group of people from the Xu Mansion, took out all the door panels, connected them tightly together, and threw them behind the human wall. Then everyone took spades and pickaxes and kept throwing sand and stones into them.
Gradually the momentum of the flood leakage was blocked.
The embankment finally turned the corner, but Qiao Yu's eyes fell on the gap in the embankment, his face was ashen.
"Minister Tang, please explain to me what's going on. Who did this kind of bastard project, the project that wiped out the descendants of the descendants?"
Tang Yisheng's face began to twist. When the gap appeared, Tang Yisheng also rushed over. He witnessed a scene that stunned him. When the flood broke through the embankment, several huge straw bags appeared in the embankment. These bastards
To use this kind of thing as perfunctory prevarication and to make fun of people's lives is really worth killing.
The embankment of Xu Mansion was built with money specially allocated, but the white money was actually replaced by balls of straw. Tang Yisheng only felt angry and ashamed beyond words. Soon Wang Chengji was also called over.
"Commander, Huang Yong is responsible for building this section of the dam!"
"Bring people here!"
Not long after, they saw several soldiers leading a fat official. When they arrived at the embankment, it turned out that Huang Yong had taken sick leave when the flood came. When Qiao Yu arrived, other officials rushed to the embankment.
, but he didn’t show his head at all and was still sick. Just when the soldiers went to capture him, he was packing up the belongings at home and was ready to escape at any time. At this moment, he was caught by several fierce-looking soldiers.
, brought to the embankment.
Huang Yong knew something was wrong as soon as he saw the scene in front of him. When he saw Qiao Yu looking at him with a livid face, his calves couldn't help but feel weak, and his huge body collapsed in front of Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu did not
Looking at him, he said to the soldiers and civilians present: "Folks, everything should be governed by the law, but the man in front of me regards everyone's life and property as child's play, so his life is also child's play!"
After saying this, Qiao Yu directly took out his pistol, and put the cold muzzle of the gun on Huang Yong's head. With a gunshot, Huang Yong's red brain came out and scattered in the rain. Two soldiers pushed Huang Yong
Yong's body was lifted up and thrown directly into the rolling flood!
The people present were stunned for a moment, and then they roared with great excitement. The bloody reality made officials at all levels in the Xu government tremble and did not dare to neglect anything. The morale of the people also became more and more inspired, and they worked together to fight the flood bravely.
At that time, Deng Xihou arrived with 800 fresh troops and devoted himself to fighting the flood. They held on for two more days. The heavy rain finally stopped and the sky cleared. It seemed that the most dangerous moment had passed.
"This Huang Yong is really a big straw bag. Throw him into the water and the dam will be held!"
