Tell the truest history in the simplest words.
I once read someone comment on Chen Qimei: Sima Guang at the turn of the century. I think it is a little small, Chen Qimei's life is full of legends, and the first legend is surging with blood (packaging a generation of grandmaster Huo Yuanjia). The second legend also has a four-word evaluation: thrilling.
Chen Qimei
Chen Qimei was a businessman who had experienced several ups and downs, a ruthless leader of the Qing gang, a talented Nanshe talent, and a prodigal son of the Qinglou who was full of style; he was also the loyal little brother of Sun Yat-sen and the reliable elder brother of Chiang Kai-shek. Sandwiched between two giants, how dazzling is his life?
The cannons outside Wuchang Rumble, where should Shanghai go? Chen Qimei made a decision without hesitation: Anti! For this day, Chen Qimei has been waiting for a long time. At this time, Feng Guozhang attacked Hanyang under the orders of Yuan Shikai, and the situation in Wuhan was precarious. If Shanghai succeeds at this time, it will undoubtedly be greatly exciting.
Feng Guozhang
Qiu Gao Ma Fei, it is the boy's meritorious service, Chen Qimei, you directed the legend of a generation of heroes Huo Yuanjia, now it is time for you to create your own legend.
Chen Qimei is not a reckless man, he has made full and meticulous preparations: he has the armed forces of thousands of people in the self-defense organization of the Chamber of Commerce, the gang death squad, and has persuaded most of the Qing troops stationed in Shanghai. Now only the hardest and fattest bone remains: the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.
Founded by Li Hongzhang, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was the largest arsenal at that time, covering an area of hundreds of acres, located in gaochang temple on the Huangpu River, and the current general office was Li Hongzhang's nephew Zhang Shiheng. Of course, Li Hongzhang's descendants will not give in, Zhang Shiheng crossed his heart, he can smash, his uncle's golden sign can not be smashed.
Zhang Shiheng vowed that even if the Huangpu River was full of floating corpses, causing serious water pollution, he would not take half a step back. Arms, whoever has it in war will have the magic weapon to defeat the enemy, so Chen Qimei is bound to win.
Then draw your knife. Chen Qimei generously said, "Death is not afraid of death, and life is not secretly born." Boys' Day, light and day. The Tao is straight, not afraid to cook. Alone, the Great Wall. Chen Qimei led the daredevils to prepare for the attack.
The first is the prelude, all the daredevils of the business group are dressed in leather shoes one by one, marching in a neat step, looking solemnly at the national flag one by one, only to see the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Great Qing Dynasty waving in the wind.
The crowd began to be uneasy and agitated, shouting loudly: change the flag, change the flag.
Only to see Chen Qimei jump off the stage with an arrow step, tear off the yellow dragon flag, replace it with the blue sky and white sun flag, and the flag-raising ceremony began. However, there was no music, only Chen Qimei's impassioned speech.
After the flag-raising ceremony, all the team members set off.
As a hard battle was about to begin, Chen Qimei gathered his death squad at the Shanghai military camp, carrying two large boxes full of pistols, rifles and bombs. More than sixty guns, more than two hundred people, everyone wrapped their arms around white cloth, followed by the eldest brother Chen Qimei, Haohao Tangtang went straight to the manufacturing bureau, at that time most of Shanghai has been restored, so this operation is open, along the way there are constantly daredevils to join.
There are bunkers on the four corners of the jiangnan manufacturing general bureau, and in front of the gate is a long alley, which is guarded by soldiers of the Manchu Patrol Battalion. The daredevils held hands and walked closer and closer to the gate surrounded by crowds of onlookers.
Stills Chen Qimei
Suddenly, a dense rain of bullets blew from the ears of the daredevils, and none of the daredevils fell, not because there was any special bulletproof equipment, but because the guards of the General Directorate were emptying their guns. They are all Shanghainese, villagers, who look up and don't look down, and no one wants to hurt and be angry. Besides, there are too many crowds of onlookers, and in case of a mistaken injury, no one can easily explain it.
Thus, a dramatic scene was staged, and the two sides began to shout in the air, one side shouted: commit weapons, conform to the will of the people; the other side responded: you retreat first, then talk about peace. The stalemate lasted for several hours, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed for the most part. At this time, it was dusk, and there was a feeling of restlessness in the chaos.
Old Chiang
Suddenly, a dull explosion sounded.
Finally it rang, the crowd of onlookers breathed a sigh of relief, and the climax finally came.
Chen Qimei took the lead in the charge, but the place was condescending and the firepower was too fierce to attack for a long time. Seeing that his brother had suffered heavy casualties, Chen Qimei looked anxious, ripped open his voice and shouted: We are all compatriots, don't kill each other; lay down our weapons and create a better future together.
The words have not fallen, the bullets are shooting like raindrops, now is not the era of Huo Yuanjia, the same routine has not worked. Chen Qimei had a bold idea at this time: negotiation.
In the battlefield full of smoke, Chen Qimei tried to make all the iron blood disappear at the negotiating table, is it possible?
Of course, it was impossible, and Chen Qimei was not much sure. He decided to take a gamble and try to get the most success at the least cost.
"The eldest husband is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that things will not be accomplished." This is Chen Qimei's mantra. It's just a pity that Chen Qimei will not "lose his fist", and when he goes in, he will be tied up by five flowers and locked to the pillar with an iron chain.
Chen Qimei was heartbroken, he had always advocated adventure, and almost every adventure would be successful, but this time he was planted in his own base. Now, who can save him?
Early the next morning, Li Yingshi, commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Merchant Group, broke through the cauldron and led his troops to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Bureau. Zhang Shiheng looked powerless and fled in a hurry. The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was captured in one fell swoop. Everyone looked around and saw no trace of Chen Qimei. Don't...... Everyone did not dare to think, and several daredevils cried out.
Now is not the time to cry, everyone once again conducted a carpet search, and finally found Chen Qimei in a small room next to the toilet. He sat on a bench with shackles on his hands and feet, motionless. Could it be...
Another daredevil made a hoarse voice: "Big brother." "Why did the fearless daredevils have so many tears today? Because they love Chen Qimei deeply! There were careful daredevils who came forward to take a look, and it turned out that Chen Qimei's hair had been pulled out of the newly chiseled wall hole, and an iron hook was hung on the beam outside the room, tightly bound to the hair, so it could not move.
The crowd quickly untied the rope, chen Qimei's face turned pale, but his mouth said: It's all right. It's okay for you to take two steps. I'm sorry, I can't go, I was locked up for more than ten hours, my whole body was numb, and I had to move under the support of the team members.
Everything was not a big deal, and Chen Qimei returned triumphantly as a victor. When the king returns, most of the Shanghai army will give up who I am! Everyone almost unanimously recommended Chen Qimei, and even Li Pingshu expressed his approval. Chen Qimei was thus elected as the governor of the Shanghai Army. This legend of his is also talked about.
