1908 Far East Madman Chapter 113 Civilization Drama and Movie

Drama and singing. How to deal with the aftermath?

Wu Zhenhan was not the only one who made a difficulty. Tan Renfeng, an outsider, is also quite tricky.

Tan Renfeng is a veteran of the Alliance. This visit to Hunan has a special mission.

He left Fujian on a foreign ship a few days ago. In Jiujiang, transfer to a rice boat from the Hunan Boat Gang and sail directly to Yuezhou. There was a brief stop when passing through Wuhan. I wanted to visit the commander-in-chief of the Republican Army. But unfortunately. At that time, Zhao Bei was inspecting along the Jinghan Railway. The two missed out. Tan Renfeng was in a hurry. I didn't wait in Wuhan.

Arrived in Yuezhou. Tan Renfeng's Zhihubei Revolutionary Army was stationed here. Quite a surprise. In order to figure out the current situation in Hunan. And he took up his place in the city. Yesterday I went shopping. I ran into a group of public opinion representatives from Hunan Province entering the city. Among them are several old acquaintances. So I took the initiative to contact. Listen to the other person.

What years have you been mixing in the rivers and lakes? Tan Renfeng can be regarded as experienced. I soon understood the delicate situation in Yuezhou. The CCP wanted the Republican troops to leave Hunan as soon as possible. And the IRA doesn't seem to want to leave. And so it happened on both sides. Although on the surface he still appears to be a revolutionary comrade. But in reality, there is a rift in the relationship. If you can't find a way to bridge it. It could have a negative impact on the revolutionary cause in the South.

It was this original that allowed Tan Renfeng to continue to stay in Yuezhou City. I want to solve this Yuezhou dispute in my own way. But I didn't think about it. Wu Zhenhan showed up. Gong Chuntai shot and killed the "representative of public opinion" sent by the Communist Progressive Association. And this man is also a provincial councilor. A member of the Hunan Constitutionalists.

I'm afraid this dilemma can't be solved by the power of Renfeng.

"This is the grudge between Longshan Hongjiang and Lai Chenyu. You don't have to sift the chaff if you don't have to. Now please go back to the inn and change your clothes. In the evening I do the East. Three drunken Xuan feasts. Give the "Tota Heavenly King" the wind and dust. Then you will all come*. ”

Chuntai doesn't have so many concerns. A pistol belt pin. He bowed his hand to the stunned bunch of people. Then, with a wave of his hand, the two horses behind him walked over. Drag Na Lai Chenyu's body aside. Hand up and knife down. A human head rolled off to the side. And he brought a bamboo cage. The head was loaded.

The representatives of the people's will sent by the Hunan House were all like ashes. The few who are timid can no longer stand up straight. Listening to these few words, it was like a big man. The ash went down to Yueyang Tower. The rabbit generally fled.

"Shi Lao. Gong took the lead. Lift this Lai Chenyu's head to the people of Liulong Mountain to see. So that everyone is angry. Evening reception feast. Send someone to carry you. Let's not get drunk and don't go home! Chuntai arched his hand at Tan Ren. said goodbye to Wu Zhenhan again. Then he led the horse out of Yueyang Tower.

"This ...... How to follow up will explain? Tan Renfeng frowned and sighed.

"Explain? What is there to explain? We didn't ask the CCP to send someone to "farewell" us. Besides, this Lai Chenyu is only afraid that he is not a member of the Communist Association. He's here anyway. It can only be constitutionalists. Pan Kangshi sneered.

Listen to Pan Kang's analysis. Wu Zhenhan's brows furrowed.

"Take a telegram right away. Tell the commander-in-chief about it. Wu Zhenhan made up his mind.

……

It was when the "opera and martial arts" were staged in Yuezhou City. In another city on the Yangtze River. A group of young people were also watching the play. But this is the real drama of civilization.

Ming opera is actually a drama of the West. Introduced to China by international students, the influence is far less than that of traditional drama.

But this is Wuhan. With the development of the revolutionary situation. This kind of civilized drama can be seen everywhere. Most of the troupes performed were formed by the Republican Army's Political Propaganda Committee. Most of the performers are students of the modern school. Most of the performances are new plays that are close to the lives of ordinary people. The rhythm of the performance in the dialect of the current is bright and vivid. Pass in street performances.

However, now this civilization is not performed in the street, but in the county government. After the Liberation. This yamen was converted into a guest house by the military government. It is specially designed to receive heroes from all walks of life who come from outside to join the revolution. Don't talk about the revolutionaries in Hunan and Henan. It is not uncommon for revolutionary youth in Guangdong and Fujian to be found. But can you understand that line? But I can't guarantee it.

A large tent was erected in the back garden of the county office. Set up some benches. This is the theater. Although rudimentary. And from time to time, there is a cold mixed with snow flakes flying into the tent. But the atmosphere here is still very lively.

This play is called "Defection to the Revolution". It tells the story of the key battle of the "Wushen Revolution": the Huangnigang Uprising.

Although the content of the play is only about the before and after of several Qing soldiers who changed their positions and defected to the revolution. There are no big names showing up. But from this script, you can still appreciate the glorious and wise image of the commander-in-chief from time to time. At the same time, the hesitation of some revolutionaries can be seen. If it weren't for the commander-in-chief's wise decision. The Huang Ni Gang Uprising will never succeed in this way.

There are many similar civilization dramas. The scripts were all written by the Political Propaganda Committee. It is also an important means of propaganda. But not many people know. These scripts were all personally reviewed by Commander-in-Chief Zhao Bei.

Of course, the group of young people who were watching the play didn't know the inside story. All they knew was that the script was very well written. It allows them to visualize this revolution. Since everyone was given a mimeographed script before watching the play. So those who can't understand the Wuhan dialect can also appreciate it with relish. Provided that he is literate.

From time to time, there were cheers at the scene. The atmosphere is a bit like a teahouse.

But in this lively atmosphere. But there were two young people who were a little out of place. The two didn't just sit in the most remote corner. And from time to time they gather to mutter. Obviously, the mind is not on the civilized drama.

The two men were about the same age. It's all twenty-six or seven. One of them was called Yan Xishan. The other person is named Li Liejun. A native of Shanxi. A Jiangxi native. The two were classmates at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. But one learns a step. One studied artillery.

After the outbreak of the "Wu Shen Revolution". ==First. Fa== Chinese students studying in Japan have returned to China. Yan Xishan, Li Liejun, and his classmates from the non-commissioned officer school also embarked on the road back to China on the liner. The crowd had a plan. Either go to the League. Either they should return to their own provinces and instigate the revolutionary forces to lead the uprising. But. Due to the Chinese students clashing with the crew and the ship police on the ship. Annoyed the Japanese side. As a result, Chinese students were detained by the Japanese side. After the ship docked in Shanghai. These "troublemakers" were handed over by the Japanese side to the authorities of the Public Concession. After spending some time in the patrol room, he was released on bail by the Liberation Society and the Alliance.

However, at this time, Yuan Shikai had rebelled. The overall situation of the revolution has been decided, and these non-commissioned officers and students studying in Japan have missed the best opportunity for revolution after all. had to go their separate ways. Some went to Fujian. Defection to the League. Some went to Zhejiang. Looking for the comrades of the Liberation Society. Others went to Tianjin. I want to get an errand in the Beiyang Army, as for Yan Xishan. I wanted to go to Tianjin to join the regents of Yuan. But he was picked up by Li Jun. I changed my mind. I don't go to Tianjin anymore. Changed to Wuhan. I'm going to get a job in the Republican Army.

The two came to Wuhan years ago. After being registered in the current affairs propaganda committee, he was arranged to the Hanyang Guest House. Due to the late arrival of the two. I have not yet been received by the commander-in-chief, and I have been quite depressed for the past few days. I want to go out and play. Snow can fall for days. It's freezing cold. can only be bored in this tent to watch the play to relieve boredom.

Last night I had a reunion with a few comrades from the Alliance. The meal was hearty. The two of them couldn't help but drink two more glasses. At noon today, Xiong Kewu was invited to the east, and there was a bowl of burning knives

Now, the strength of this wine is still full of wine. This spirit does not rise up on its own. I can't put my mind on the drama at all.

After all. They didn't go to Wuhan to listen to a drama. Rather, they came to join the revolution.

The two were muttering together. Suddenly, I heard a cheer from the theater. Surprised, he looked up and saw that the actors on the stage had disappeared, and the audience who had been sitting on the benches to watch the play also left their seats. Walk towards the entrance and exit of the theater.

Curious, Yan Xishan and Li Liejun also stood up. I followed it. But they didn't wait for them to get closer. But there was a scolding from the crowd.

"You're so messy. And is there any discipline? It is this discipline that we revolutionary soldiers pay attention to! Go back and sit down! ”

The man huh. The crowd suddenly dispersed. Return to their seats and take their seats. But his face couldn't hide his excitement. 1 Xishan and Li Jun also hurriedly sat back. Head to look. I saw a few current affairs speakers wearing armbands carrying several machines into the theater. He was followed by two others. One of them was a blonde foreigner. The other was an officer. Judging by the cartridge gun that he was carrying. It was supposed to be an officer of the guard battalion of the General Headquarters.

Those machines are no strangers. Exactly the movie projector. When I was studying abroad in Japan. International students have also seen it. Even big cities like Shanghai and Tianjin have cinemas run by foreigners. A photo studio in Beijing made a Chinese film "Dingjun Mountain" a few years ago.

As soon as the film is shown, it enters the theater. More people flocked to the theater. Soon the small tent was squeezed out. Some people still want to squeeze in. but was stopped by the guards. There was a long queue honestly.

Although it is known when the IRA bought the movie projector. But it's better than watching a bunch of students perform a drama all day long. Yan Xishan and Li Liejun occupy their positions. Waiting for the movie to start. But before the light-filled skylight could be closed. The figure in front of him flickered. Huang Shuzhong, a cadre of the Sichuan Alliance, squeezed over, and sat down in the middle with his arms around the shoulders of the two.

"Watch the movie first. After watching the movie, I will shoot electricity. Everyone is an actor. The Republican Army has bought a lot of movie cameras. said that he would take it to the battlefield to shoot some "documentary" in the future. Huang Shuzhong said seriously.

Seeing Huang Shuzhong wearing a boat-shaped hat and shaking his head. Yan Xishan pointed to his hat. "Where did you get this hat?" Don't be a Xibei cargo. ”

Although the boat-shaped hat looks a little weird on the head. But this is, after all, the characteristic military hat of the Republican Army. Represents the most radical revolutionary image. Therefore, it is very popular among young people. The young people who went to Wuhan to join the revolution sought to buy everywhere. It's just that the production of regular military products is too small. And it is not sold to the private sector. So I had to make it to the tailor. And you have to shave your head after you buy it. Otherwise, the yin and yang head will not look good.

Huang Shuzhong took off his military hat and wiped his bare head with his hand. said: "My military hat is not Xibei goods. That's serious military stuff. Just now I helped the current affairs speaker move the machine. People see me as having a high revolutionary enthusiasm. He was given a military cap. ”

"It's enthusiastic. I see your scalp is frozen. Do you really think you are a soldier of a special operations battalion? Li Liejun stretched out his hand playfully. Touched the bald head in the yellow tree.

"You're jealous. I heard that the officers had a lot of opinions about this. Now there's 'saying that this hat is going to be removed.' Another type of army. So, ah. This boat-shaped hat will be a collector's item in the future. It's much stronger than the complement on the chest of the Manchu official. ”

I saw Huang Shuzhong holding a hat to show off. Yan Xishan said strangely: "I heard that this hat was agreed upon by the commander-in-chief. How is it possible to say that it will be withdrawn?

"That's right. The Director-General has always attached great importance to authority. Li Liejun agreed.

"That's what I said, anyway. Believe it or not. I'm going to bring it back to Sichuan. "Huang Shuzhong put on a military hat. Somewhat emeral.

"You're not going to stay?" Yan Xishan asked.

"Changed my mind. In the morning, the commander-in-chief told me to go with the sail to pick up the gun. Now it's time to arrange for ships to recruit daredevils. The ship is well connected. We'll go back to Hanzhong right away. Go to northern Sichuan to instigate an uprising. If you say it, you will be blushing. The commander-in-chief gave us all good guns. All the Manlixia five-sub steel. Equipment of the Beiyang Army. It's much stronger than the rags in the hands of the Shaanxi Gang and the Yu Gang. ”

Speaking of which. Huang Shuzhong glanced at Yan Xishan. "The commander-in-chief has not summoned you yet?" How many days have you been in Wuhan? Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is eaten here. ”

Yan Xishan and Li Liejun shook their heads. The two were a little puzzled. It has been a few days since I arrived in Wuhan. Some of the people who arrived later than them were already there. Either he became an officer of the Republican Army, or he received weapons and went to the provinces to instigate revolution. Only the two of them were left out in the cold. Don't say the commander-in-chief. Even the Zhang Jiyang chief of the "Political Propaganda Commission" did not summon them.

To know. They came from a military academy. What the Republican Army lacks now is a professional officer like them!

"There's no need to rush. There's something for everyone here. Didn't Wu Yousong and Yu Hesong, who came with you, already go to the team? You are also studying military affairs. Are you afraid that the commander-in-chief will not look down on it? ”

The two of them were comforted in the tree. The tone did not fall. Then I heard someone shouting.

"Who has seen Yan Xishan and Li Liejun? Who knows where they are now? ”

"Here it is! Over here! ”

Without waiting for Yan and Li to respond. Huang Shuzhong had already stood up. Waving his arms.

An officer squeezed over. It was the officer who had silenced everyone just now.

"His name is Tian Jinfu. is the Commander-in-Chief's Captain of the Guard. He's definitely here to call you to see the Commander-in-Chief! Huang Shuzhong sat back on the bench. He muttered to Yan Li'er.

Yan Xishan and Li Liejun were suddenly a little at a loss. The strength of the two of them has not passed. Now the mouth is full of wine. Go to the commander-in-chief at this time. This first impression is subject to a deduction of points.

"Yan Xishan. Li Liejun? The officer walked up to him. Immediately smell a smell of alcohol. His brow furrowed.

"Yes. It's us. ”

The two hurriedly stood up. Hold your breath with your chest straight. But the smell of alcohol on his body was uncontrollable.

"Tidy up your gauges. Follow me. The Commander-in-Chief wants to see you. The officer wasn't wordy. Turn around and go.

The two of them hurriedly said goodbye to Huang Shuzhong. Hurriedly followed the officer out of the theater.

Out of the guest house. A few guards with a few horses waited outside the door.

The officer pointed to the horses. He asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

Yan Xishan and Li Liejun hurriedly nodded. Both are a little strange, though.

"The Commander-in-Chief summoned only me-|two?"

"What? Are you afraid that I will abduct you? Less wordy. Launched. The officer rolled over and got on his horse.

Yan and Li looked at each other. In the past, the commander-in-chief summoned the revolutionary youth. Dozens or hundreds of people were summoned at the same time. I have never heard of one or two people summoned individually.

But the two of them were really not afraid of being abducted by the officer. Take the reins handed by the guards. Also turned over on the horse.

"Keep up." The officer's legs were clamped. Urging the horse forward.

Yan Xishan and Li Liejun followed closely. Head north from the guest house. Head to the Hanyang Arsenal.

along the way. Both of them are in their hearts.

"The commander-in-chief summoned him alone. How do you arrange for me? ”
