Chapter 395 Changing the Capital Up
1087908 Far East Madman Chapter 39 changed the capital
In a dazed state, Cao Ruijing heard the shouting, and then. He opened his eyes...
Then why is the sun red? It's noon.
Cao Rui raised his hand and wiped his eyes, only to realize that it was not red sunlight, but red blood. His forehead was broken, and the blood that flowed down blindfolded his eyes.
"Fourth master! Fourth master! ”
"Fourth uncle! Fourth uncle! ”
There were a few shouts from the younger generations of the Cao family in his ears, which made Cao Rui sober up a little, and he slowly recalled what happened just now, and he also remembered what the wound on his forehead was.
The wound on the forehead was smashed, smashed with the handle of a pistol, just now Cao Rui was asked to be smashed with the handle of a pistol and passed out, and now he has just been woken up by those juniors.
In order to get "justice" for the third brother Cao Ling, who died in southern Henan, Cao Rui followed those Beiyang bereaved families to the street in front of the presidential palace and petitioned Xu Shichang, the acting president of the Republic of China, to oppose the chairman of the United Front to be appointed vice president of the Republic of China. Everyone has been sitting in front of the presidential palace for three days and three nights, and although the presidential palace has sent people to consult with them many times, the two sides have not been able to reach an agreement on the most critical issues. This small petition of the Beiyang bereaved family, planned by Duan Qirui, will continue.
However, Cao Rui and their Beiyang remnants are patient, it does not mean that Xu Shichang is also patient, just now, not long after lunch, the presidential palace guards sent people to shout, ordering the president, all the idle people in front of the palace to withdraw by themselves, otherwise they will bear the consequences, and the soldiers of the guard are also carrying sticks and sticks, standing by behind the cordon, putting on a posture of forcibly disperse the crowd.
Seeing this posture, some people were timid, knowing that Xu Shichang was determined to come hard, and some timid people immediately retreated, but most of them still refused to go, and those people in the capital who were watching and coaxing refused to go, all wondering if Xu Shichang had the courage to come to the Beiyang relics.
As a member of the Beiyang Relics, Cao Rui also wondered if the Beiyang Center, which his third brother was loyal to, would dare to be ruthless to his own people, so. Not only did he not leave, but he stood up. Reason with the captain of the presidential palace guard who led the team. The other party is a soldier, not as educated as his fourth master Cao, he showed his cowardice without saying a few words, and the soldier was also short-tempered, but the theory was not enough, so he was angry, stretched out his hand, and pushed Cao Rui to a stagger.
Although it was just a stumble, Cao Rui stopped doing it, and the Beiyang remnants who were standing behind him didn't do it either, so the order of the scene suddenly became chaotic
Yes.
Just as everyone was fighting, Leng Hao fired two gunshots, and an officer fell down clutching his chest. At this moment, the situation was even more out of control, and the soldiers with sticks shouted to remove the cordon, and then went to get their rifles, and the machine gun in front of the presidential palace also turned its muzzle, but before the gun could be fired, a smoking bomb was thrown over, and it landed right in the machine gun bunker, and even the people with guns were blown up.
At this time, no one can keep calm, and the soldiers guarding the presidential palace can't keep calm, so they don't wait for the officer's order, the soldiers have opened fire with guns, although most of them are shooting towards the sky, but the bullet is not long, plus a small number of soldiers have just been beaten red by the Beiyang relics, so the gunfire is intensive, the front of the presidential palace is a mourning, some Beiyang relics were shot and fell, and those people in the capital who watched the excitement were also killed and injured by bullets.
As soon as the gunshot rang out, the crowd gathered in front of the presidential palace dispersed, Cao Rui's life was big, a bullet grazed his head and flew over, and then, he also turned around and ran like everyone else, and in a panic he was separated from the Cao juniors who were brought to the capital, and when he was looking for shouts everywhere, he saw a person.
It was not an ordinary person, it was a gun disguise, holding a pistol in his hand, hiding behind a blunt stall on the side of the street, taking advantage of the chaos to shoot indiscriminately, and the people who ran in the panic didn't notice the gunman hiding in the corner at all, and from time to time someone was shot and fell, but whether he ate the bullets of the Beiyang Army or the bullets of this gunman, it was impossible to distinguish.
Cao Rui was closest to the gunman, and he didn't want to be nosy, but when he saw a junior of the Cao family running towards the roller stall, he could only pounce on it, and picked up the gunman who was squatting behind the stick stall from behind, slammed it on the ground, and kicked a few feet, but the other party was also a practitioner, a carp beat up, and gave Cao Rui a punch, and then raised the pistol and shot at Cao Rui, but the gun didn't go off, there was no bullet, and the gunman was obviously not willing to entangle with Cao Rui, so he grabbed the pistol upside down and smashed Cao Rui's head a few times with the handle of the gun, and then. Cao Rui didn't know anything until he was woken up by those Cao juniors just now.
"Are you all right?" Cao Ruiran said.
"Fourth master, we're all fine, only you ate the bullet."
The junior said while crying, and several other people also hurriedly tore the corners of their clothes and bandaged Cao Rui's wounds.
"It's not a bullet, it's a pistol."
Cao Rui sat up, looked to the left, and found that he was still lying on the side of the roller stall, the street was already empty, and the presidential palace there was full of ten soldiers with rifles, and there were a few people lying under their feet. "Sail" is dead or alive, judging from the dress, it is obviously the bereaved family of Beiyang martyrs who cry in front of the presidential palace.
The soldiers rushed to Cao Rui's side and didn't say a word. took out the rope and tied Cao Rui and his little juniors.
"Okay, you Xu Shichang! The Beiyang soldiers gave you their lives on the front line, you are good, but then you beat other people's families to death! Lao Tzu didn't believe it. You, Xu Shichang, are not afraid that those unjust souls who died in Henan will come to you! You have the ability to kill your fourth master! Your fourth master went to the Yama Palace, and he also wants to sue you! Don't forget, now you still have a third master Cao in the Yama Palace, and in the future, you Xu Shichang will also go to the Yama Palace, and our Cao brothers will be in shambles! ”
Cao Rui was not afraid, and scolded Xu Shichang. As he was cursing and rising, he heard the sound of horses' hooves rushing and several horsemen restraining their horses beside him.
"Isn't this Fourth Brother Cao? What are you doing here? Don't let people go yet! Do you want me to do it myself? ”
The man on horseback shouted a few words, and Cao Rui turned his head to look at it hatefully, and recognized that person was Duan Qirui, the acting chief of the War Department.
Before the soldiers could untie Cao Rui, Duan Qirui had already jumped off his horse, pushed the soldiers away, pulled out the command knife, cut the rope on Cao Rui's body, and loosened the tie for him.
Glancing at the injury on Cao Rui's forehead, Duan Qirui twisted his brows and said sadly: "How can this be true!" How can you shoot at your own people? The president would never give such an order! ”
In fact, Duan Qirui also regretted it in his heart, originally he wanted to use this group of Beiyang remnants to put pressure on Xu Shichang and others to force them to change the compromise reached with the United Front on the choice of vice president, but now, the development of this matter is far beyond his expectations, and now that the presidential palace guards have fired, the situation is out of control. Therefore, after the War Department heard the gunshots, Duan Qirui rode over, and learned that there were dead and injured on the way, and he also understood that this time, his Duan family was self-defeating.
"Why didn't Xu Shichang dare to give the order to shoot? He Xu Shichang now wants to continue to be his president of the Republic of China, and he has long since deserved to be from Beiyang!
Cao Rui was indignant, but after only shouting a few words, he suddenly understood, reached out and touched his forehead, then looked at the blood on his hand, recalled what had just happened, and said in amazement: "No! Wrong! It is true that it was not the guards who fired first, it was someone else who fired first! And threw bombs at the guards! ”
"Who fired first?" Duan Qirui was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"How do I know? The guards were fighting with us when we heard gunshots. ”
Cao Rui recalled carefully, slapped his thigh, and shouted: "Flag man!" It's the flag man! My head was broken by a flag man. There was a fist in that fight, and I told him to knock it with the handle of the gun. ”
"What? Flag man? Duan Qirui was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the key to this for a while, but felt that something seemed inappropriate.
While they were stunned, they heard gunfire again, but this time, the gunfire rang out from the east, and then there were sporadic gunshots from the west. Occasionally, there was a "boom" explosion, as if there was a street fight in the city.
Duan Qirui instructed an adjutant to stay and take care of Cao Rui and the others, and then galloped towards the presidential palace.
After entering the presidential palace, Duan Qirui went straight to Xu Shichang's presidential secretariat to see Xu Shichang, but was told by the secretary that Xu Shichang and Jiang Chaozong, the commander of the infantry army, had just left the secretariat, and no one knew where they went.
Duan Qirui was anxious to shake the phone everywhere, and soon, news came from everywhere, first the telegraph office reported, saying that the mob had ransacked the telegraph office. Then there was news from the Daeqianmun Railway Station, a few bombs were dropped in the waiting room, and the warehouse was also set on fire, and then the Namseong Police Station reported that there was a riot in the area of the famous fireworks land "Bada Hutong", and at the same time, there was also a riot in the area of the overpass, and all the police officers were sent out, so that the police station was empty of defense, and asked the Gyeonggi Garrison Command to send reinforcements.
When this chaotic information was gathered by Duan Qirui, he was surprised to find that in this city, at the location of the Beiyang Central Government, there was such a large-scale chaos, which obviously could not be an accident.
Soon, the report of the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, confirmed Duan Qirui's suspicions, and there was a larger-scale riot in the gathering area of the Beicheng banners, and there were already riots carrying dragon flags and armed pistols on the streets
Flag man, flag man, is it all a coincidence?
Duan Qirui pressed down the microphone, glanced at several adjutants beside him, and gave an order without hesitation.
"From now on, the whole city is under martial law! Without my orders, not even a mouse is recommended to leave the city! Order the Gyeonggi Garrison Headquarters to send an additional battalion to guard the Kuwang Mansion and not allow anyone to approach the Alcohol Palace! In addition, go to President Xu Shichang and President Xu separately, no matter what, someone must coordinate the overall situation! ”
