On July 24th, the sun was scorching in the sky, and the sun was as bright as fire.

Standing under the scorching sun, Li Siqin's heart seemed to be burning with flames. As a boy of only 18 years old, he tried his best to restrain his inner emotions almost every moment of every day. In many cases, he did not want to do something.

Things, but sometimes you have to sit down.

At this time, dozens of prisoners who were tied up in the carriage were pulled out of the carriage by soldiers. Looking at several of them, Li Siqin sighed in his heart. When he saw them being loosened from the ropes and about to be pulled to the opposite side, he waved his hand to stop them.

"Want a cigarette?"

Taking out a few cigarettes from the cigarette case, Li Siqin looked at Han Hui, He Haiming and others in front of him. These people were all arrested by him.

Han Hui, He Haiming, Chen Zhuang, Xiao Yujun and others did not refuse. They took the cigarette and looked at the lieutenant colonel in front of them. Although he was surprisingly young, they knew that if it weren't for him, maybe...

"Can you tell me why?"

Taking a puff of cigarette, He Haiming looked at the person in front of him. He didn't understand why they would help Yuan Shikai.

"Let's put aside the ulterior motives of people in your party towards our company and just talk about..."

Taking a puff of cigarette, Li Siqin raised his eyes slightly.

"Your party is the first to use force to discuss right and wrong. It is beyond the tolerance of the people of the country and can only be used as a record of state affairs."

"That's all we can do..."

Han Hui, who was smoking, couldn't help but show a trace of ridicule, as if he had heard some joke.

"Don't you know Yuan Shikai..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Siqin's face turned solemn.

"What happened to Yuan Shikai, the general Qin didn't know, what happened to the people in the precious party, how could they hide it from the eyes of the world. In order to prepare military supplies, they colluded with the Japanese, intending to sacrifice Longhai to the Japanese, and sent troops to kidnap merchants and extort their money.

Is this what the Communist Party did?"

With a sneer, Li Siqin looked at the people in front of him.

"Since you have committed acts of rebellion, you should be held accountable."

After saying that, he turned and left. When the military judge on the side saw the scene in front of him, he waved his hand quickly, and the soldiers around him immediately dragged everyone towards the execution ground ahead.

Standing in the wilderness at the foot of Yanzi Mountain outside Zhenjiang City, Li Siqin, dressed in a lieutenant colonel's military uniform, took a deep breath of cigarette. His military cap blocked some of the sun, but beads of sweat began to flow down his forehead, and dripped down his chin to the fields.

, took another deep breath of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, then turned and walked towards the front.

On the hillside at the foot of Yanzi Mountain, prisoners were tied to more than a dozen temporarily buried pillars. These were the criminals arrested last night, and the military judge had signed the death warrant. The first batch of people sentenced to death were wearing military uniforms and covered with veils.

He was tied to a tree stump with his eyes closed. There were more than 10 people under the Military Justice Department who participated in this execution. The shooters were divided into 3 squads, and each squad was commanded by a second lieutenant. On the execution ground in an open space in front of Yanzi Mountain

, five deep ditches were dug, sandbags were piled on both sides and behind the executed person, and behind was Yanzi Mountain.

About 10 meters apart, ten soldiers stood in a row. They were in groups of two, one aiming at the forehead and the other at the heart. The latter was intended to be fired at the heart when the person could not die immediately after the shot.

Each victim faces the walker head-on, with their bodies tied to the torture post behind them.

Even though he was tied to a wooden stake, He Haiming still spoke impassionedly to his companions.

"You all, we died with passion for our ideals. We died for resisting Yuan Ni, so we died for the country. Let us shout long live the Republic and Long Live the Republic of China."

Five people stood side by side on the execution ground. One person first shouted long live the Republic of China! The others also followed suit.

At that suffocating moment, the firing commander looked at Lieutenant Colonel Li standing aside, and Li Siqin, who was standing there with an expressionless face, nodded. After receiving the instruction, the firing commander immediately gave the command to fire with a gesture.

"raise gun"

After receiving the command, the soldiers immediately raised their guns.

"Loaded"

The sound of "crash, clatter" as the gun bolt was pulled echoed in the wilderness.

"aim"

The soldier holding the gun held his butt to his cheek and aimed at the condemned prisoner in front of him.

"put"

Pull the triggers together, targeting the forehead.

At the same time as the gunshot, blood suddenly spattered.

"Why"

During the inspection by the military judge, Li Siqin sighed deeply in his heart. There were many times when he was unwilling to do some things, but he had to do them. Just like this time, these people were not soldiers, they were sports troops sent by Shanghai.

If the revolting Communist Party does not kill them, I don’t know what troubles will happen in Jiangsu.

Jiangsu cannot be in chaos and cannot fall into the hands of Feng and Zhang. This is the young master's order. In order to save Jiangsu, we have no choice but to kill.

"If you don't kill, you can't correct the law."

In the study room in the backyard of the Zhenjiang Provincial Government, Cheng Dequan wrote these words directly on the approval document. Cheng Dequan seemed a little proud at this time. A few days ago, he was forced to go to Shanghai for "treatment", and now

, he, the governor of Jiangsu, kept signing death warrants to execute those communists.

Last night, Yuan Shikai sent a telegram, ordering that he and Ying Dehong be reinstated in their posts, and that he would no longer be held responsible for the Nanjing independence issue. He ordered them to cooperate with Ying Dehong to temporarily organize military and civil affairs agencies in the nearest place.

Just a few hours ago, acting Civil Affairs Minister Cai Yin of Jiangsu Province, Eighth Division Commander Chen Zhiji, Acting First Division Commander Zhou Yingshi, etc. immediately announced the cancellation of independence, sent two consecutive telegrams to contact Yuan Shikai, and sent people to Shanghai to ask Cheng Dequan to return quickly.

Nanjing handles the aftermath.

After signing the order, Cheng Dequan looked up at Ying Dehong, who was standing in front of him, drinking tea and frowning.

"Brother Minzhai, are you still worried about that matter?"

Ying Dehong nodded with worry in his eyes.

"How can we not worry? Everyone in China knows that it was you, Cheng Chunru, and I, Ying Minzhai, who ordered the "Song Case" evidence to be made public."

When mentioning this matter, Ying Dehong deliberately emphasized the word "evidence" with a look of ridicule on his face.

"Outsiders don't know the truth, but you and I...hey"

Sighing, Ying Dehong lowered his eyes slightly, his face full of worry.

But Cheng Dequan was silent at this moment. The "evidence" published to the public in the name of the two people was clearly... it was not even recognized by the court, so how could it be evidence.

"Now, the whole country is saying that the President sent people to assassinate Song Yufu, and also claims that the murderer was silenced by the President. But...hey, even if the President does not hold you and me accountable for forcing Jiangsu to become independent, I am afraid that because of this incident,

The president hates you and me too."

Nodding, a cold light flashed in Cheng Dequan's eyes.

"Because of this, heavy laws are used in troubled times. If you want to blame it, blame us for being too tolerant of the Communist Party in the past."

Cheng Dequan showed slight anger when he spoke. During the Nanjing Provisional Government, the chief minister appointed by the Communist Party from all walks of life had very little power, and most of the power was held by the deputy ministers appointed by the Communist Party. People at the time ridiculed it as the "secretary minister's cabinet."

Cheng Dequan was quite dissatisfied with this and simply lived idle in Shanghai, Suzhou and other places, paying little attention to government affairs. He made up his mind to "retire after success" and go to the United States for inspection. But at this time, Sun stepped down and the provisional government was dissolved

, Yuan Shikai, who succeeded him, had quarrels with Cheng, but he admired his talents. Following the appeal of the people in southern Jiangsu, he reappointed Cheng Dequan as the governor of Jiangsu.

After serving as the governor for the second time, with the support of Zhang Jian and others and the cooperation of Huang Xing, it took him several months to basically unify Jiangsu's military and political affairs. In order to maintain stability in Jiangsu, he appointed a large number of constitutional parties in the governor's office,**

Party members and local sages, even when they reorganized guest troops and formed the Eighth Division of the Jiangsu Army, they still took care of all parties, especially the sentiments of the Communist Party, with fairness. But what was the result?

This is literally shooting yourself in the foot.

"Brother Minzhai, you know that I am dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai's arrogance of the central government, pretending to be united, and I dare not agree with the Communists' practice of fighting for power, using force to argue about right and wrong, and being categorically independent.

The way this world is..."

With a long sigh, Cheng Dequan picked up the tea cup from the table and took a sip of tea, with a little worry on his face.

"Yuan Shikai pretended to be unification, and there are extenuating circumstances, but he can be a traitor to the Communists..."

His eyes turned cold, and Cheng Dequan just felt itchy with hatred.

"The Kuomintang is listed as a rebel party due to the military rebellion. Who in this Congress can supervise the government and the president? Even if the president does not **, I am afraid he will ** this time, just because of his military actions to bring chaos to the country.

, Killing, killing is still an act of kindness, using force to argue right and wrong, using force to fight for rights and interests, opening this river, and China's century-old disaster will begin. If the killer is not killed, I'm afraid..."

Ying Dehong nodded, he did not object to this. This is the way to govern. When it is time to kill someone, you must not be merciful.

"To be honest, I envy him Li Zhiyuan"

Putting down the tea cup, Cheng Dequan couldn't help but sigh.

"oh?"

"Don't listen to what's going on outside the window and concentrate on his affairs in Lianyungang. This kind of leisure time doesn't make you and I envious."

His words made Ying Dehong slightly stunned, but he smiled in his heart. If he, Li Zhiyuan, was really blind to what was going on outside the window, how could Sun's second sexual intercourse be easily eliminated and disappear without a trace?

Obtained military power from the Jiangsu Army.

"Chun Ru, what do you mean..."

"Local autonomy is implemented, and only government affairs are concerned. As for the army...military affairs are all handed over to the Jiangsu Army Staff Office. Come to think of it..."

Cheng Dequan was silent for a moment and looked at Ying Dehong.

"Thinking about it, Li Zhiyuan wouldn't want to rebel for independence. He has no ambitions. He can make Lianyungang a model for China's industry. If he can get help, Jiangsu can also become a model province for China."

As he spoke, Cheng Dequan stood up.

"Although I am not from Jiangsu, as the governor of Jiangsu, I should do everything possible to benefit the people of Jiangsu. I wonder what Brother Minzhai thinks?"

Ying Dehong's old friend's question made Ying Dehong silent for a moment. He looked up at his old friend and guessed what he was planning behind him. This industry is based on local autonomy and all military power is handed over to the staff office. In fact, it is self-protection. He is worried about Yuan Shikai.

, isn’t Cheng Chunru worried? He wants to use autonomy to protect himself.

"I just don't know..."

After pondering, Ying Dehong said with concern.

"How is Li Zhiyuan's injury?"
