twelve. The peach orchard of the prosperous world, the Jedi of the chaotic world

Yang Zengxin said: There are no good people in the west out of Yangguan! Everyone who can go to Xinjiang carries the body of a "sinner"! For itself, it is also Xinjiang that has been squeezed out by the officialdom. In this regard, Yang Zengxin's note is: "Xinjiang's road is in wanli, and many people who serve officials come from thousands of miles, and it is neither easy to return nor easy. In one day, the official was retangled as fish and meat, and the expropriation was violent, which was not available in the whole country. The first to sign a merit and deficiency, no dissatisfaction to return, do not know that Xinjiang is rich. In fact, the people are poor in other provinces. But let the two or three corrupt officials go home. "Therefore, as an official in Xinjiang, everyone thinks that it is a beautiful difference." The mantra of "100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing prefect's house a year" is not without reason. The long-standing corruption in Xinjiang is caused by the corruption of the officials, which in turn has led to the intensification of contradictions between the government and the people.

So how can you be a clean official? When Yang Zengxin advised the governor of Pishan County on Fengyi, he said: "The official loves the people without a word. Loving the people has no other tricks, in a word, do not ask for money, do not ask for money in a disorderly way, god and ghost respect, although there are those who are jealous of my rank, there is no entry into me, He Lai letter So-called southern Xinjiang resident officials three tips to deal with the Han people preferential treatment, Burke suppression, the people do not need to do anything. If a scholar serves an official and enters a woman's marriage, it is a matter of final judgment, and if he sees money or not, he will ask for money, and there is no one who does not lose by greed; the people who do a good job of management love it, but the book is not happy with the village covenant, and if the official is clean and honest, if the generation cannot get money, it must also be, although it is easy to say and do it, it is still insisted on doing it in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Yang Zengxin has been in charge of Xinjiang for seventeen years, and he has always regarded the clarity of the officials as an important criterion for judging whether the officials are good or bad. "Every time the public does something, the township covenant is a disadvantage. Officials take the township as a minion, and the township treats the official as a talisman. Up and down, public and private. The people suffered first without benefiting. It is also the distrust of grass-roots officials that the vast majority of county governors rotate almost once a year, or as long as the people report it, three cents and a stamp can ruin an official's career. Of course, in order to thoroughly control corruption, it is natural to need a corresponding set of checks and balances. Of course, at that time, There was no democracy or rule of law in Xinjiang, and it was a good way to let the people speak.

Yang Zengxin ruled Xinjiang for seventeen years, "recognizing the temple but not recognizing the gods", respecting authority but not superstitious authority. No matter how the great president of the Beiyang government is replaced like a marquee, the temple of the "Republic of China" in his mind is still there. Yang Zengxin never had a dream of becoming emperor of the earth like Yuan Shikai. Yang Zengxin's feelings of home and country are very heavy, he said: "State affairs are like family affairs, it is based on the strength of the country and the family can be protected, so it is known as Zi Kejiaji!" ”

Yang Zengxin once said: Xinjiang's prosperous world is a peach orchard, and a chaotic world is a Jedi. In fact, for Yang Zengxin, in the seventeen years of his reign, most of the time per capita was in the chaotic era of war. Yang Zengxin's greatest wish is to protect and build the place he guards, so that the people can live a harmonious, happy and peaceful peach orchard-like life.

Yang Zengxin said in his diary: "To deal with troubles, we must face the embankment and carve out the care. If there is a spirit that is not thorough, it is in this life to deal with its misfortune. Those who have far-sighted thoughts have no near-term worries, and this moving saying is also true. Things are difficult to reason, be cautious and try to do it, and don't be impatient and crumbling. People have difficulties, and they are lenient and do not change without agitation. The so-called small intolerance is chaotic and big, and this is also the theory of forbearance. This is also yang Zengxin's ability to think of danger in times of peace, take precautions, and imagine what will happen and what will happen in Xinjiang next, so that there will be no irreparable events.

At the beginning of Yang Zengxin's reign, he was confined to the lack of border officials in Xinjiang and petitioned the Republic of China government to hold a selection examination for county governors in Xinjiang. After the examination, 19 candidates were sent to Xinjiang. But Yang Zengxin did not superstitiously believe in the authority from above, so that these candidates would be distributed to various places as soon as they arrived in Xinjiang. As soon as these 19 candidate border officials arrived in Xinjiang, they were uniformly concentrated in the Xinjiang Political Research Institute to conduct education on Xinjiang's regional conditions. The six homework of diplomacy, finance, police, industry, law, and arithmetic are all taken from the current cost classification and typesetting lecture notes and sent to each member of the department to study and issue a new revision of the tongzhi for three years before the Qing Dynasty, so as to examine the history, geography, customs, and customs of the province, and to try to handle the wenmu and help Tongdihua County interrogation at any time to control and wholesale each case. For example, Deng Yixian, who came from Zijin County in Guangdong Province, arranged for him to study at the Xinjiang Institute of Political Science for three months before sending him to serve as the governor of a small wusu county. In less than two years, Deng Yixian was transferred to Yecheng in southern Xinjiang because of his outstanding political achievements, a large county with a population of about 200,000 at that time.

Yang Zengxin believes: "Pastoral orders can be close to the people is a good pastoral order, the governor can be close to the people is a good supervision, the emperor can be close to the people is the Holy Emperor Ming King, can be close to the people is to act benevolently, the government is the king's way, can not be close to the people, it is difficult to have private favors and small favors is also hegemonic merit." "Therefore, whether you are close to the people or not determines whether you are a good official or not, and Yang Zengxin also has his own criteria for measuring and judging officials in his heart."

Yang Zengxin said: "As an official in Xinjiang, we should love the people of Xinjiang, and regard the people of all ethnic groups as the father and son of the family, and the people of all ethnic groups can still believe that they do not look at their strengths, so they can steal the peace of the night." ”

Yang Zengxin said in the "Submission of the Government to Rectify the Situation of Xinjiang's Internal Affairs": "When the state system changes, when the country is eroded, it is not prudent to select local officials who are not careful enough to take care of them and expect to make amends. The reason why Yang Zengxin said this is that he summed up the gains and losses of the successive governors since the establishment of Xinjiang Province, and he knows them very well. He said: "When the officials of Xinjiang were in charge of Xinjiang, pan Xiaosu was the worst, it was really like the clouds of consultation, the officials were able to drill camps, they were talented by cunning, the chiefs employed people to meet the people of their subordinates, and the rest of the inspectors such as Tao Mo and Wu Yinsun and Yuan Dahua did not try to be as unscrupulous as Pan Xiaosu, and did whatever they wanted, and when Pan Xiaosu was new, ren Dihua Shouxian was in a huge deficit, that is, Xie Weixing, who had lost more than 80,000 gold in the previous shooting, was extremely important to Pan Xiaosu during his tenure in Dihua Shou County, and although he died in the law of the Republic of China, he actually died at the hands of Pan Xiaosu. ”

A wooden couplet hanging on the "lobby" of Yang Zengxin of the Xinjiang provincial government reads: "The republican grass has just begun to bloom, shame on the five hegemons and seven heroes, and disputes do not ask about the Central Plains; there is a taoyuan paradise on the frontier, and the south returns to Northern Huaihuai, and the hun is long as the taigu people." This is also Yang Zengxin's inner portrayal and code of conduct.

Yang Zengxin "is a jinshi, although he is good at calligraphy, he never talks about this with people, and he especially does not like people to ask for books and sentences, so there is very little inheritance of handwriting." Intermittent opium smoking without addiction, social banquets, a little drinking and a moderate amount of alcohol to stop. He does not often hold banquets large and small, nor does he listen to jokes, nor does he have other evil hobbies. I only like to go out for a walk, read ancient texts, chant poems, and read aloud, if there is no one around. When Yang meets a subordinate, he must first ask if he blows big (opium)? That is, to answer truthfully, or to blow or not to be deceived, or to be rebuked. Extreme disgust for the young and richly dressed. "Yang Zengxin's robe can be worn for more than ten years without change, it is not trimmed, and even the cuffs of the robe are shiny." Yang Zengxin only knew every day that "the judgment and reading the text, personal private life such as living and eating do not care, the things in the three halls are messy, and the boxes and cabinets are piled up everywhere." The wooden boxes of rifles made by the Hanyang Arsenal, all kinds of ammunition, piled up outside the three halls, the wind and rain eroded over time, the boxes were broken and rusty, and no one took care of them, because Yang had a suspicious heart, and the staff was a little careless, that is, they got a strange disaster, so the people looked at it indifferently. ”

Yang Zengxin once said to his subordinate Guifen: I have "ten no's", that is: "I do not seek food and clothing, do not trim the edges, do not like to be angry, do not love entertainment, do not believe in rumors, do not have concubines, do not pay bribes, do not accumulate treasures, do not divide the use of people, and do not know how to ask questions for learning." ”

Yang Zengxin also often joked with his subordinates and colleagues at banquets with his colleagues: "The director of the Civil Affairs Department, Yi Huyi, is a good sparrow and has a lot of drug addiction; Pan Zhen, director of the Finance Department, is good at giving alms and has a lot of compassion; Yan Yushan, director of the Construction Department, groans without illness and has many poems; Liu Wenlong, director of the Department of Education, is only profitable and has a lot of business; Counselor Wang Buduan is from the east and smears the west, and has a lot of debts in calligraphy and painting; Jiang Songlin, the commander of the division, is from the army and has a lot of experience; the diplomat Fan Yaonan has many etiquette; the town border of Ili makes Yang Tai too vain and zen and has many scrolls; the Kashgar Governor Ma Fuxing is good at fish color and has many concubines; and my case is many." ”

Guanglu, the son of The last leading minister of the Xibo camp at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Fule Hulun, recalled: "The Yang clan got up at four o'clock in the morning to read, wrote a diary to make up for the fast, and recited aloud when reading, just like the students, and in their later years they liked to read LaoZi's Tao Te Ching." At 7 o'clock, the office began to approve official affairs. All the official documents of the various districts, counties, bureaus and military aspects of the song were first sent directly to their internal mail office, and the Yang family started from the prefecture and county, and was extremely skilled in handling official documents, and had to read hundreds of official documents a day. ”

When Xu Bingchang and Yuan Fuli participated in the northwestern inspection delegation to Xinjiang, when they met Yang Zengxin and talked about the corruption of the Xinjiang army, Yang Zengxin said: "I don't know about these corrupt situations that you are talking about!" But I don't think it's the level of corruption I expected. Whether I govern Xinjiang internally or externally, I will solve it without the army, and one of my heads and a bald pen will be enough. You must know that if Xinjiang uses troops abroad, it can only fight with the Soviet Union and Russia, Xinjiang is isolated and isolated, thousands of miles away from the central authorities, and transportation is so inconvenient, once something happens to itself and cannot get the support of the central authorities, then, with the strength of Xinjiang as a province, can it compete with the Soviet Union? The answer is no, so why raise soldiers? As for the internal, the place is quiet, and there is no need for elite soldiers to suppress it. Raising a small number of elite soldiers is not enough to accomplish anything externally, but internally it may be impossible to do anything wrong and oppress the people, and the reason why I still keep the army in name is that one sometimes uses bluff to solve the problem, and then the relationship between the state system cannot be left alone. ”

In order to avoid unscrupulous bribery and perverting the law while officials are extremely poor, whenever an official goes to various places to take up his post, he must send a director to lead the newly appointed county magistrate to the Temple of God to swear: "Respect and abide by the law, do not embezzle, do not disturb the people, if you violate the oath, you will not only be punished by the law, but also be condemned by God." ”

Yao Lebos, who grew up as a poor Uyghur boy in Hami, said in his memoirs: "In the ten years since Guangxu established Xinjiang as a province, for more than two hundred years, xinjiang people rarely saw good officials, and the civilian officials and military posts sent by the Qing court to Xinjiang ranked ninth out of ten, either greedy and cruel cool officials or tyrannical officials. Therefore, when Yang Zengxin unified the whole of Xinjiang at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, calmed down the chaos, vigorously promoted local construction, and prayed for the people's livelihood, the people of Xinjiang were sincerely grateful to him, very respectful, and everyone respected him as General Yang and not named. ”

On June 20, the eleventh year of the Republic of China (1922), Yang Zengxin said in his "Reply to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Xinjiang without Borrowing Foreign Debts" to the central government: "Since the opening of Xinjiang, Xinjiang has been clearing up its finances for three years. The income of the whole of Xinjiang is less than half a million. After the founding of the Republic of China, the co-payment was severed, followed by the annexation of Atta, the rise of the European war, the uneven development of the Russian border, the difficulty of raising troops and raising wages, the purpose of zengxin, the new promise of never adding endowments and never borrowing debts, no matter how embarrassing, but excluding the selfishness of the middle, for the sake of the public, never carried out the policy of plundering, in addition to the traditional positive endowment, the additional revenue is added, as for the foreign debt is enough to destroy the country Egypt, the new one has long been taken as a lesson. In the past ten years, in order to borrow foreign debt, only for the two matters of not adding money and not borrowing debts, the people of Xinjiang who have been added to the new can still be acquitted, and they are hereby allowed to consult and check accordingly in addition to separate consultations. "Yes! After the end of the salary, Yang Zengxin neither borrowed foreign money nor increased the taxes of the people, and also stabilized Xinjiang for seventeen years.

Yang Zengxin himself also said: "In the seventeen years that I have governed Xinjiang, I can only say that I have been able to protect the border and the people, and the rest of the education, transportation... None of them have done a good job, nor have they supported local people, and everything is old and there is no progress. It is difficult to cope with the previous environment, but it is not enough to face the current and future situations. I am afraid that after my death, Xinjiang will encounter great chaos because there is no one who inherits me. Sure enough, after Yang Zengxin's death, Jin Shuren came to power, and Xinjiang soon fell into the great chaos of the erosion of the whole of Xinjiang.

On the national issue, Yang Zengxin used the great principles of China's heavenly principles and the law and people's feelings, and the means of both grace and power to govern, and at the same time, he followed his religious customs to make it develop naturally, and at the same time treated all ethnic groups equally, and part of the domain was used to make them live in peace. After the war subsided, Yang Zengxin implemented the policy of "weak soldiers" in Xinjiang, "At that time, each soldier was paid four or two dollars per month, and the monthly salary of foreign domestic workers was three or four times higher than that of soldiers, so most of the recruited battalion soldiers were lazy or physically ill. Some of them go out in the summer to cultivate opium, or cut grass and firewood nearby, some weave baskets, carry handles and other things to sell; in winter, they plow snow for residents to get some extra income. Therefore, there was a phenomenon of enlisting soldiers in the spring and summer and recruiting again in autumn and winter. Yang Zengxin also has his own set of theories to support his "weak soldier" policy in Xinjiang, "everyone regards the monarch as absolute, and I think that China has been non-monarchical for thousands of years, but bureaucratic." The bureaucracy is despotic to the world, and although there is a Saint Emperor Ming King, there is nothing like it. Easy to call 'tun qi paste' is also. Yang Zengxin also recounted his fate:

"The tyranny of the warriors cannot be eradicated by the non-mob; the tyranny of the bureaucracy cannot be overthrown by the non-mob." The people's morale will be extended for a long time, and the calamity will be accumulated for a long time. The Great National Revolution is brewing, and looking at today's situation, the dictatorship of the stolen warriors will inevitably become the dictatorship of the mob for a long time. The saints do not do it, but they can think of the trouble and prevent it! ”

Yang Zengxin once said that public order in Xinjiang cannot be maintained by using troops, and that the use of troops against foreign countries cannot resist the British and Russian jianjia soldiers no matter what; if the localities rebel against the localities, not only will it be impossible to determine the han troops of a few brigades and a few brigades, but even hundreds of thousands of troops will not help. Public order in Xinjiang can only start politically.

The author believes that Yang Zengxin's seventeen years of governance in Xinjiang have contributed greatly. Its merit lies in protecting the border and the people, and its excess is that Xinjiang has rarely built. But I still think that the flaws are not hidden, and his merits can completely cover up his faults. Imagine that Yang Zengxin spent most of his time in xinjiang dealing with internal and external troubles, and was protecting Xinjiang until after 1920, when he finally suppressed the problem of the defeated soldiers of Tsarist Russia and sneaked into Xinjiang. Without a peaceful external environment, how can we engage in construction? For example, the establishment of the Xinjiang Kerosene Company, the establishment of the Turpan Cotton Textile Factory, the promotion of Khotanese mulberry paper, the establishment of the Agricultural Experimental Field, the establishment of the Agricultural and Industrial Bank, the establishment of the Xinjiang Industrial Department, the establishment of the Xinjiang Medical Research Institute, the improvement of secondary education, and so on. It's just that these achievements have taken a lot longer than those effects of one war after another, and it is difficult for ordinary people to notice them. Of course, Yang Zengxin implemented a policy of closing the country to the outside world in Xinjiang, which was naturally effective in dealing with internal and external troubles in the early days, and once the war was over, it seemed to be somewhat out of step with the times. Sven Hedin once said: "Yang Zengxin is very knowledgeable, far-sighted, broad-minded, and flexible, and if he grew up in European society, he must be a great political figure." He is the last typical figure representing China's old society, old culture, old morality, and old traditions! ”

Xie Bin, who inspected Xinjiang's financial situation on behalf of the government of the Republic of China, said: "Yang Zhi is a man, talented and capable, and capable of making great achievements. Unfortunately, the brain is too old, the prejudice is too deep, the official northwest has been serving for too long, and the world's ideological trend is too weak. Failed to develop upwards. At the same time, Xie Bin said: Do not want the central government subsidies, but can maintain the situation in Xinjiang, Yang Zengxin is the first person.

In the third year of the Republic of China (1914), Deng Yixian, who was distributed to Xinjiang to successively serve as the governor of Wusu, Yecheng, Moyu, Shufu, and Bachu Counties, commented on Yang Zengxin: "After making up for the continuous writing, there is a sound, and Meihua recognizes the predecessor before meihua. Yunxia City Guo Kunlun Xiao, Gu Gu Lou Tai Alfalfa Spring. The mobei dragon head phoenix fell, and the Kansai lin toe Rui Zhenzhen. He once heard hui hui discuss privately, and Dao was the first person in China and North Korea. Deng Yixian and Yang Zengxin both liked to play with pen and ink and felt sorry for each other, so he did not hesitate to praise Yang Zengxin with deep affection for being the first person in Xinjiang to govern Xinjiang.

Yang Zengxin's oath to Xinjiang is: loyalty to Xinjiang, and finally Xinjiang. In a word, this is also just as he and Deng Miaoxian frankly said: Let's all be the lone ghosts of this land together!

Before Yang Zengsheng was born, he told Bao Erhan and other subordinates that after his death, he would be buried in Tianchi on Mount Bogda and would never leave Xinjiang. The helplessness, determination and generosity revealed in Yang Zengxin's "Loyalty to Xinjiang, Finally Xinjiang" are a kind of attachment, a kind of tragedy, and a kind of desolation that he and Xinjiang live and die together.

The author believes that when Yang Zengxin said in a telegram to his daughter in Beijing in 1924 that he was loyal to Xinjiang and finally Xinjiang said that when He finally said Xinjiang, Yang Zengxin decisively handed over Xinjiang to Fan Yaonan and left Xinjiang, which was a very happy ending. This is also in line with what Yang Zengxin said in his diary: "No matter how good things are in the world, they will turn back, so they know that their spin yuan ji, otherwise they know and then do not know to retreat, know to exist but do not know death, know but do not know mourning, then the dragon has regrets." "But history has never been able to make assumptions. What we have seen is that after the assassination of Yang Zengxin, jin Shuren, who was very talented and talented, came to power for only a little more than a year, and Xinjiang fell into a war of "three years and a small chaos, and five years of chaos".

thirteen. Yang Zengxin was assassinated, who is the real culprit?

Although more than 80 years have passed since the "March 7 Massacre", the suspense behind Yang Zengxin's assassination has not yet been conclusive, and there are many opinions. As we all know, as history has revealed, it was Fan Yaonan who single-handedly planned and carried out this assassination.

The "History of Xinjiang of the Republic of China" said: "This day is Saturday, the day when the first graduation ceremony of the Xinjiang Provincial Russian Grammar and Politics College stationed in Northern Liang was held. In addition to Yang Zengxin, who attended the graduation ceremony, there were also various halls and other military and political dignitaries. At that time, the Soviet consular couple was also invited to participate. Under the pretext that the 'case was urgently to be dealt with,' Jin Shuren, together with Secretary General Tu Wenpei, Section Chief Wang Zhizuo, and others, he withdrew from the seat first. Fan Yaonan presided over the graduation ceremony as the school supervisor. Before the graduation ceremony, Fan and his henchmen made careful plans. They originally wanted to assassinate Yang Zengxin while all the photos were taken, but because the brigade commander Du Farong saw that there were many miscellaneous people left and right, he had doubts and questioned Zhang Chunxi in person. Although Zhang prevaricated, he was afraid of accidents, so he changed his hands to the banquet. At the graduation ceremony, Yang Zengxin issued a graduation certificate in addition to his speech. After the ceremony, Fan Yaonan and Zhang Chunxi set up a banquet in the school classroom and warmly received Yang Zengxin and others. In order to facilitate the attack, Fan and Zhang arranged the adjutants in the East Wing room in advance, while the guards were separated from the outer courtyard and set up wine, meat, and pilaf to treat each other. Under the pretext that it was hot and it was convenient to drink and eat, they insisted that the adjutants and guards unload their weapons. And these people are also happy to drink. Therefore, most of the civil and military officials who received Yang Zengxin were assassins dressed as students. They were blue-shirted and courteous. There were three tables in the banquet, of which Yang Zengxin, Brigade Commander Du Farong, Construction Director Yan Yushan, Dihua Daoyin Li Rong and Qian Tong were at the center table, accompanied by a Chinese teacher. The Soviet consul and his wife were at another table, accompanied by Fan Yaonan and Zhang Chunxi. When the dish is on two courses and the wine is numbered, Fan asks how the wine and dishes are prepared? Zhang Chunxi then closed the case with a wine jug and shouted , 'The wine is ready'. However, Fan used the toast to the Soviet consul as a secret sign, and Liu Jinchen, who pretended to be a dish, shot Yang Zengxin for the first time, and as a result, Yang Lianxin was shot seven times and died; also killed on the spot were brigade commander Du Farong, guard regimental commander Gao Liandou, adjutants Zhang Ziwen, Wang Zhi, And Mao Weixin, and others; Yan Yushan, director of the Construction Department, was shot and injured, and then ran to the student dormitory to temporarily hide, and Chen Rubin, the supervisor of the electric power administration, was also injured and escaped; the rest of the people panicked and raced to escape for their lives, and order was chaotic for a while. ”

"When Jin Shuren was reviewing the backlog of official documents in the government affairs department, he heard the gunshots in the direction of the law school waiting for the soldiers to return to the office one after another, and after 'first knowing that there was a change in the law school,' he immediately summoned Zhang Peiyuan, the military affairs section chief, Feng Liang, the instructor of the Wu tang, and Du Guozhi, the son of Du Farong, to discuss countermeasures in secret, made arrangements, and under the banner of 'revenge for Yang,' commanded Zhang Peiyuan, Li Hairu, Feng Liang, Du Guozhi, and others to lead their troops to surround the provincial office, and ordered the provincial department guards to rush into the three halls, and then the battalion commanders Wang Dacheng and Zhang Yuxiu also led their troops to the department and obeyed the order. At first, because of the soldiers' 'inexplicable truth' and 'Mo Ken's life', Jin Shuren had to "hang a heavy reward" and personally attend the scene to "command and supervise the battle". Suddenly, a solemn provincial government became a battlefield and a place of street fighting. At first, Fan Yaonan and the others were still fighting, but because they were outnumbered, they were captured by soldiers who rushed into the three halls of the provincial capital at seven o'clock in the afternoon. After Jin Shuren captured Fan Yaonan and 21 others, he immediately organized a special court to conduct a trial, and after a resolution at the military law conference, Fan Yaonan, He Guangxing, Zhang Chunxi, Lü Baoru, Yang Qingnan, and others were executed one after another; Zhang Xin was taken to prison and awaiting sentencing; Mou Weitong, who participated in the coup, was sheltered because of his relationship with Jin Shuren and was not arrested and killed; Zhang Xianji, who had been a law instructor at the 'law school,' although he was a member of Fan's party, was spared from being killed because he was the governor of Jimunai County. ”

Therefore, the whole excerpt of this incident is because the "July 7 Coup" was a major event in the history of Xinjiang, and the mystery and controversy in it were far from here. The author of "History of Xinjiang of the Republic of China" summarizes the reasons why Fan Yaonan failed in this coup and lists four reasons: First, Fan has no military power, no reliable strength, and the basic contingent is some unarmed white-faced students; second, the 'July 7 Coup' launched by Fan has no mass base and is basically an individual risky action; third, Fan does not have a correct estimate of the basis of Yang Zengxin's rule; fourth, Fan does not have a meticulous aftermath arrangement after the coup.

Fan Yaonan (1879--1928) was born in the fifth year of the Qing Dynasty (1879) in Tuguo Lane, Gong'an County, Hubei Province. His father, Fan Zhenrui, had three sons and a daughter, and Fan Yaonan was the eldest son. The family has more than 40 acres of ancestral dry land, and it is a well-off family that cultivates and reads.

Fan Yaonan "was intelligent and diligent since childhood, became a monk at the age of 8, married Li Shi in Guangxu for twenty years, and entered Pan as a xiucai at the age of 18 the following year." Later, Fan Yaonan was appreciated by Zhang Zhidong, the leader of the Yangwu faction and the governor of Huguang, and became a widow. In the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu (1898), after the Qing court abolished the Eight Shares and established the Academy, Fan Yaonan was elected as the teacher of Jingnan Middle School and Lianghu Academy. In the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), after the Qing court abolished the imperial examination system, Fan Yaonan was selected to study law at Waseda University in Japan. During his studies at Waseda University, Fan Yaonan was "self-respecting, excellent in character and learning, and showed many talents: poetry, good composition, playing the piano well, and also taking excellent portraits and landscape art photos." In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu (1908), after Fan Yaonan returned to China after completing his studies, he was unwilling to enter the Qing government, which was extremely corrupt and had already set up a western mountain, so he returned to Hubei Gong'an County to set up a museum and run a school to teach the children of his neighbors. In the second year of Xuanun (1910), Rong Pi, who served as the governor of Xinjiang when Liankui was the governor of Xinjiang, founded the Xinjiang Political and Legal School in 1902 in order to strengthen the political and legal forces in Xinjiang. Rong Pi learned that Fan Yaonan was studying law, so he invited him to teach at the Xinjiang Political Science and Law School and to serve as a local court in Dihua, Xinjiang. Fan Yaonan knew that he could help promote local judicial progress, so he abandoned his family and went to Xinjiang alone. When he reached Shaimi via Soviet Siberia, he ran out of money. He had to resort to the local governor of Xiemi, who introduced him to Ishack, the owner of the Tianxing Trading Company specializing in new Russian trade. Ishaq generously donated money and escorted Fan Yaonan to Tacheng and finally to Dihua.

After Fan Yaonan took up his post in Dihua, Lian Kui was dismissed in July of the second year of Xuan reunification (1910), Yuan Dahua took over as the governor of Xinjiang, Yang Zeng was newly appointed as the envoy of Xinjiang Zhendi Dao and Tifa, Rong Pi was also transferred to Hedong Province, Shanxi, and the local courtroom of Dihua was dismissed. Under these circumstances, Fan Yaonan did nothing but return to the interior.

When Fan Yaonan returned to Hubei, the Xinhai Revolution was successful in Wuchang, Hubei Province. The revolutionaries quickly formed a military junta, and Li Yuanhong was elected as the governor of the junta. Li Yuanhong, who was born in Huangpi, Hubei Province, knew that Fan Yao had returned to the east, so he hired him as a financial adviser to the military government.

After returning to China, Sun Yat-sen was elected Provisional President of the Republic of China on December 29, 1911. On January 3, 1912, Li Yuanhong was elected vice president. After Li Yuanhong took office, he immediately hired Fan Yaonan as a political adviser to the Presidential Office and a member of the Constitution Drafting Committee, hoping that Fan would become his right-hand man.

In June of the 5th year of the Republic of China (1916), Yuan Shikai fell ill and died, claiming that the emperor had failed. Li Yuanhong succeeded him as president of the Republic of China government, and Fan Yaonan returned to Beijing from Shanghai again. At this time, Yuan Dahua resigned from the post of governor of Xinjiang, and Yang Zengxin ascended to the position of governor of Xinjiang. After the founding of the Republic of China, Yang Zengxin repeatedly expressed his attachment to the central government, but Xinjiang's military and political affairs were completely independent. He also pursued the strategy of "letting the temple not recognize God" to the central authorities. Zhu Ruiqi, who was in charge of Aksu Province at that time, planned to transfer Kashgar Province, but when Aksu Province was vacant, Zhu Ruiqi sent a telegram to the central government to send someone to replace him. In order to improve the relations between the central government and Xinjiang, Li Yuanhong originally wanted to send Yan Yushan, the governor of Lanxi County in Heilongjiang, the governor of Bayan Prefecture, and the counselor of the State Council at the time, to take over, but Yan bargained and was reluctant to take office. Therefore, President Li Yuanhong consulted with Prime Minister Duan Qirui and decided to reassign Fan Yaonan to Aksu Daoyin to take on the heavy responsibility of consolidating Xinjiang's relations with the central government. On January 13, the 6th year of the Republic of China (1917), the central government officially appointed Fan Yaonan as the governor of Aksu Province, Xinjiang.

Due to the twists and turns of the road, when Fan Yaonan arrived in Xinjiang again, seven months had passed since he was appointed as Aksu Daoyin. Previously, Yang Zengxin had appointed his fellow villager and daughter's family, Liu Changbing, who had served as the head of Xinjiang's judicial preparation department and the governor of Altai, to take over as Aksu Daoyin. At this time, there was also a "dispute between the government and the courtyard" and the farce of Zhang Xun's restoration in Beijing, and Li Yuanhong was forced to step down.

When Fan Yaonan first came to Xinjiang, he worked with Yang Zengxin for two years. They still knew each other well, so Yang Zengxin arranged for Fan Yaonan to serve as the general office of the Political Research Institute of Dihua Daoyin and training officials. For Fan Yaonan, who was sent from above, Yang Zengxin was full of vigilance in his heart, preventing himself from being replaced one day. But Yang Zengxin also knew that Fan Yaonan had nothing to do with the revolutionary party of Wuchang Shouyi in 1911, the uprising of Liu Xianjun in 1912, and the uprising of the Ili revolutionaries, and was just a scholar who was proficient in law.

Yang Zengxin: Loyal to Xinjiang, Finally Xinjiang (5)

A microcosm of the map of Xinjiang

Fan Yaonan's entry into the new, for Yang Zengxin, there is indeed a lot of reliance. We can know fan Yaonan's achievements from a series of fruitful measures achieved by assisting Yang Zengxin in handling a large number of political and economic affairs with the Soviet Union.

Fan Yaonan's most important achievement was to first abolish a series of unequal treaties with foreign countries on behalf of Xinjiang. At the beginning of the 9th year of the Republic of China (1920), after the October Revolution in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union, which was still in the midst of civil war and external troubles, suffered major economic damage and the people's lives were very difficult. At that time, the Soviet Union had not yet obtained recognition from the Republic of China, and trade between the two sides had not resumed. Without trade with the Soviet Union, Xinjiang's trade is also in a very difficult situation. Therefore, the heavy responsibility of resuming trade with the Soviet Union as soon as possible fell on Fan Yaonan's shoulders.

After consulting with Fan Yaonan, Yang Zengxin decided to first form a "Committee for the Study of the Soviet Russia Question" at the Diplomatic Service, with Fan Yaonan in charge. Yang Zengxin and Fan Yaonan decided to take advantage of the spirit of the declaration issued by Soviet Ambassador to China Galahan to China and the very difficult economic situation in the Soviet Union at that time, to discuss the abolition of consular jurisdiction and the unequal old rules of Russian businessmen not paying taxes when doing business in Xinjiang, and the arbitrary seizure, confiscation, and exploitation of Chinese businessmen's property in Russia, and renegotiated tax rules and the protection of the rights and interests of overseas Chinese in the Soviet Union as the basis for negotiations. To this end, the "Committee for the Study of the Soviet Russia Question" headed by Fan Yaonan began with the signing of the "Beijing Treaty" related to Xinjiang between Tsarist Russia and the Qing government in the Xianfeng Decade (1860), and continued to the "Sino-Russian Agreement on the Jurisdiction of Kazakhstan and Other Places" signed in the nineteenth year of the Qing Dynasty (1893), and the relations and status quo between the new Russian parties before and after the October Revolution of The Soviet Union were all re-signed and amended.

From the six articles finally agreed upon by the two sides: First, the members of the Ili Government in Xinjiang, China, and the Government of Turkestan in Russia, for the benefit of the people on the border between the two countries and the feelings of the two sides, intend to set up commercial and negotiating organs for mutual consultation. 2. China may set up a commercial and negotiating machine in respect of the russian city of Wienau (present-day Almaty) in the Seven Rivers Province, Russia; Russia may set up a commercial and negotiating machine for the city of Yining in Ili, China, in exchange for interests. 3. Russian commercial negotiators or ordinary Russians who transport goods from Russia to Iraq or return to Russia from Iraq must pay taxes to china's customs in accordance with the Xinjiang Unified TaxAtion Regulations. Fourth, Nikanka is the only way for trade between the two countries. Those who enter and exit the country by detour are considered to be tax evasion and illegal. (5) In the event of a dispute between the two peoples over trade and all civil penalties, they shall be enforced by the laws of the country of residence. (6) The people of the two countries who have crossed the border for reasons of events shall possess passports issued by both sides before entering the country.

The above six articles very clearly canceled the Soviet Russia in Xinjiang from Xianfeng Ten (1860)

The illegal privileges enjoyed by the Sino-Russian treaty from the moment of the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty, China gained tariff autonomy and abolished The Consular Jurisdiction of Soviet Russia in Xinjiang. This was the first time that China had regained sovereignty since the 23rd year of the Qing Daoguang (1843) Sino-British Five-Port Trade Charter, which allowed foreign countries to enjoy illegal privileges in China. This was supposed to be a major event in China's history, but it didn't attract enough attention.

In May 1921, the second year of the Ili Provisional Agreement on Trade and Commerce, The Soviet Union again sent representatives to Xinjiang to open Tacheng, Ashan, Kashgar, Dihua and other places as commercial ports, and to open up and restore consulates in all localities above. At that time, the domestic situation in Soviet Russia did not improve, so it was eager to reach an agreement with China, and China did not want to rush to achieve results. At that time, Fan Yaonan, who was then Dihua Daoyin and concurrently director of foreign affairs, after soliciting Yang Zengxin's opinion, seized the opportunity to put forward fourteen points that were very favorable to our side as the basis for negotiations.

Yang Zengxin: Loyal to Xinjiang, Finally Xinjiang (5)

Fan Yaonan's achievements in presiding over Xinjiang's foreign affairs are very prominent, "began to change the tragic history of 77 years of diplomatic humiliation in our country, Yang Zengxin was so pleased with this that he reported to the government to keep a record of Fan's special minister rank, so that our envoys stationed abroad can be nominated for appointment if there is a vacancy." On March 10, 1999 and January 20, 2011, before and after the negotiation of the Provisional Treaty of Trade in Ili, the Beijing government also awarded the Order of Jiahe of the Second Class twice for Fan Youxun's labor in the country. ”

During Yang Zengxin's reign, the "four qi" anecdotes were popular in the Xinjiang officialdom: that is, magnanimity, squeamishness, twilight, and politeness. Generous qi refers to the fact that Liu Wenlong, the director of the Department of Education, has a lot of family property, has money, and is generous; squeamish means that Jin Shuren, the head of the government affairs department, ignores people and is full of official spirit; twilight refers to Yan Yushan, the director of the Industrial Department, who is getting by and getting by, and is a junkie like Jin Shuren, who is good at chanting poetry, moaning without illness, likes to talk about long to short, and the dark arrow hurts people. Politeness means that the director of foreign affairs, Fan Yaonan, is dressed in a simple, amiable and courteous manners. In addition, at that time, Yang Zengxin's saying that "Wen has Fan Yaonan, Wu has Yang Feixia" was also popular. Fan Yaonan's Mu Xiu Yu Lin naturally aroused the envy of Yan Yushan and others who were highly talented. In his memoirs, Guanglu once said that Xinjiang "took the initiative in foreign affairs with Neighboring Countries such as Russia and Afghanistan, and has never failed once, nor has it signed a treaty that humiliates the country." Bao Erhan also said, "Among the senior cadres of Yang Zengxin on that day were Jin Shuren, director of the government affairs department, Xu Yishan, director of the finance department, Yan Yushan, director of the industrial department, Liu Wenlong, director of the education department, and Fan Yaonan, director of the military affairs department. ”

On the one hand, Yang Zengxin relied heavily on Fan Yaonan politically, and on the other hand, he also took good care of him in his daily life. At the same time that Yang Zengxin appointed Fan Yaonan as Dihua Daoyin, he also concurrently served as the director of the Military Affairs Department and the director of foreign affairs, and in addition to fully trusting Fan Yaonan's talents, there was another layer of meaning, that is, he could justifiably give Fan some allowances and feng lu. In the 11th year of the Republic of China (1922), when Fan Yaonan was in office in Dihua Daoyin, Yang Zengxin learned that Fan Yaonan's two sons were pursuing law at the Republic of China University in Beijing according to their father's wishes, and there were still old and young people in Hubei, and there were wives and children in Japan who needed to be raised, and life was very difficult. Yang Zengxin immediately asked Bao Erhan to send 10,000 provincial coins to the Fan family, and told Bao Erhan not to disclose this matter. "Fan Daotai is alone in Xinjiang, has a small family in his mouth, and has two older children studying at Peking University, and the burden is very heavy, so he should be given some allowances so that he can work with peace of mind." After that, Yang Zengxin also sent remittances to the Fan family many times. "In 1924, Fan Yaonan took advantage of the illness of his widowed mother to ask for a funeral home again, but Yang Zengxin, under the pretext of being busy with official duties, was still not allowed, and on the one hand, he sent an urgent telegram to the Clerk stationed in Beijing to go to Fan's house to offer condolences, and on the other hand, he ordered the Department of Finance to allocate four thousand yuan from outside his salary to the Fan family as funeral expenses."

Yang Zengxin has said to Fan Yaonan many times, "Xinjiang needs us to maintain, we need to go home, go back together, don't be busy, what difficulties there are in the ZunFu, I will solve them." "Like us wandering ghosts on the Gobi Desert, we want to go back together in the future."

Yao Lebos said: "Fan Yaonan was sent to Xinjiang by Li Yuanhong, and his ambitions were great and talented, and he was not reused by Yang Zengxin, and he was depressed for several years. In the seventeen years of the reorganization of the provincial capital of Xinjiang, he did not receive an official and a half-post, and he hated him deeply, and he deliberately killed Yang to seize power, secretly colluded with Jin Shuren, director of the Xinjiang Civil Affairs Department, and made Yang Zengxin die of bullets, and the compatriots in Xinjiang commemorated this unfortunate incident. It was called the 'March 7 Coup'". Yao Lebos said that Fan Yaonan's "ambition is great and talented" must be ignorant of Fan, and it seems to have a certain reason to say that he "hated" Yang Zengxin.

It is also recorded that when the incident occurred, Jin Shuren did not go to approve any "backlog of official documents", but was a big smoker who had gone to smoke. It was after the addiction that Jin Shuren was able to feel comfortable, excited, calm, calm, calm, and calm to strategize, command Ruoding, and quickly put down the coup after four hours.

It has also been analyzed that when the "July 7 Coup" occurred, "Liu Jinchen, who pretended to be a dish, shot at Yang Zengxin for the first time" in revenge; "or Zhang Chunxi, a cousin of Xiong Bin, who was feng Yuxiang's chief of staff--- ----, then provost of the Xinjiang Russian Grammar and Law And Politics College, colluded with Jin Shuren to kill Yang, and after Jin sold his friends, he blamed Fan and Zhang and seized power. ”

Beginning in the 10th year of the Republic of China (1921), civil wars waged by warlords throughout China to expand their power and territory were extremely fierce. Yang Zengxin in Xinjiang originally had little to do with the warlords in the interior, "under the pressure of the warlords in Guannei, Yang Zengxin was forced to resign as a new governor in the 10th year of the Republic of China (1921)." From the 10th year of the Republic of China (1921) to the 11th year of the Republic of China (1922), there was a wave of Ma Fuxiang replacing Yang Zengxin, the governor of Xinjiang, and from 1923 to 1924, Feng Yuxiang, the northwest border defense inspector, interfered in Xinjiang affairs, hoping to include Xinjiang in his sphere of influence. During this period, Yang Zengxin sent Ma Shaowu to Kashgar to shoot Ma Fuxing's father and son, and one of the important reasons was that Ma Fuxing sent his wife and concubine Ma Ruizhen to collude with Cao Kun, Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang and others in Beijing to plot to overthrow Yang Zengxin. In 1925, the Beijing government also planned to send Ma Liang as a Xinjiang propaganda consolator to Xinjiang to communicate the Hui Han issue caused by Yang Zengxin's shooting of Ma Fuxing's father and son. All of this has formed a wave of inverted Yang that has spread to Xinjiang and is becoming more and more superficial. On March 1, Shanghai's "Central Daily" Beijing, February 28: Feng Yuxiang helped Ma Fuxiang attack Xinjiang. On March 8, the Central Daily reported that Feng Yuxiang was paying attention to Xinjiang in Yu... The deputies continued to ask Feng to reform Xinjiang by revolutionary means, and Feng decided to send personnel to the new investigation first, and decided that after the success of the Northern Expedition, the Second Group Army would take Xinxin and Ning as its destination and carry out reclamation. In Xinjiang, on March 3, 1925, "two Zhao Miaochuan and Xu Zhizhan, who had been under house arrest for a long time in the study room of the Governor's Office, were shot by Yang in an attempt to escape and were shot by Yang in an attempt to investigate the situation in Xinjiang by Liu Yufen, a member of Feng Yuxiang's clan in Gansu Province." "So, Yang Zengxin was killed by Fan Yaonan?" Or was Zhang Chunxi killed by colluding with Feng Yuxiang? Or is Jin Shuren also involved? In what context and in what context, we do not seem to be able to fully believe the conclusion that Fan Yaonan planned to shoot Yang Zengxin.

Therefore, it is no wonder that on July 8, 1928, when Jin Shuren, in the name of the chairman and commander-in-chief of the Provisional Province of Xinjiang, announced to the central government of Nanjing and the people of Dihua that the assassination of Yang was committed by Fan, "After hearing the news, I was shocked and sorry, and after the news was revealed in the newspapers in Beijing, Fan Junqing, the eldest son of Fan Yaonan, immediately sent a letter to the newspapers requesting corrections, saying that his father had followed Yang for nearly 20 years, and he had the same flesh and blood, and there was no such thing." On November 15, 2002 of the Republic of China, Fan Maoru, the eldest son of Fan Yaonan, accused Jin Shuren to the Executive Yuan of the Nanjing Government, saying, "(Fan Yaonan) has served as an official in Xinjiang for more than ten years, but his family is as poor as ever, and his wisdom is loyal and pure, and his integrity is honest, and he has always been relied on by Yang Zengxin, the governor of Xinjiang, and has assisted Governor Yang Zengxin in refreshing politics, enlightening culture, consolidating the border, and coping with outstanding diplomacy." ...... The government of Jin Xingxing explicitly ordered the arrest of Jin Shuren, and in the case, the rebel thief was responsible for the disaster of the country and the people, and the evil was full of profits, and the head was given a day, but the father Yao Nan, in order to support the central authorities and be loyal to the party-state, was brutally killed by the rebel thief, and the grievances were not white, and so far a coffin of violent remains has not been collected. ”

Sven Hedin, the head of the Swedish side who came to Xinjiang to lead the northwest China science expedition, recorded: "I met some well-informed Han Chinese in Urumqi who knew that Fan Yaonan, the diplomatic commissioner accused of killing General Yang in 1928, was innocent, and the real culprit was Jin Shuren, who was supported by Zhang Peiyuan. However, the author believes that it seems a bit far-fetched to blame Fan Yaonan for plotting to assassinate Yang Zengxin, but it is also contrary to humanity to say that Jin Shuren conspired to kill his mentor Yang Zengxin. The author believes that at that time, when Feng Yuxiang and others were involved in Xinjiang affairs and formed a wave of inversion of Yang Zengxin, those colleagues who had been with Yang Zengxin for seventeen years could not help but have a lot of complaints in the face of the general trend of the domestic situation, and in an inaccurate sentence, that is, "the wall fell and everyone pushed" seemed more reasonable. At the time of the coup, in terms of seniority and talent, it seems that only Fan Yaonan has a certain appeal. Moreover, the people of Xinjiang at that time also seemed to want a change, which was the real motivation for Yang Zengxin's murder. The "addict" Jin Shuren may not be unaware of the thorny Yang, rather than saying that he is "watching the tiger fight on the mountain", but it seems more accurate to say that he seeks the benefit of the fisherman. It was when these various factors were combined that Zhang Chunxi, who had accepted Feng Yuxiang's chief of staff Xiong Bin's will in advance, was able to take the risk.

For Yang Zengxin, although he had long been mentally prepared to leave Xinjiang, he did not deal with the problem of his successor after leaving office, and the result of the "love stack" was that he died on the sixth day after he announced that Xinjiang had "changed its suspension and changed banners". And for Xinjiang's reform and change of banner, this day seems to be too late! From another point of view, it is assumed that even if Yang Zengxin really gave way to Fan Yaonan, he would be more than a hundred times stronger than Jin Shuren's later rise to power, at least it would not lead to a major riot that affected the whole of Xinjiang, but history cannot be assumed.

"In Xinjiang at that time, in addition to Fan Yaonan's relatively new thinkers, the older generation could only serve the elderly Jiang Songlin, who was in decline, followed by Yan Yushan, director of the Construction Department, and Xu Qian, director of the Finance Department; Jin's prestige at that time was not very high, because his 'Afurong' addiction was extremely great, and his talent was not as good as Yang's, and he was even less than Fan Yaonan, who lay on a high bed every day, swallowed clouds and vomited fog, and lived a rather decadent life, and there were many people who were dissatisfied in the political circles, but those who were able to gain political power were those who had made meritorious contributions to quelling chaos and seizing the opportunity to grasp the great power of the military and government." With the collective support of Zhang Peiyuan and other self-interested and selfish people from Gansu Province, Jin Shuren, as the biggest beneficiary of the "March 7 Massacre," ascended to the throne of the chairman and commander-in-chief of Xinjiang Province.

Yang Zengxin: Loyal to Xinjiang, Finally Xinjiang (5)

Yang Zengxin lived in the former residence of mobie village in his hometown for about eight years

fourteen. Young's Legacy

After Yang Zengxin's death, the officials and people of Dihua in Xinjiang performed public sacrifices for him for one month. His coffin was transported from Tacheng to Beijing via Soviet Siberia and buried on the side of Shahe Road in Changping, Beijing. Because he killed Li Yin and Xia Ding, fellow Villagers from Yunnan who conspired to cause trouble, the ancestral graves of his hometown in Mengzi, Yunnan were also excavated. Therefore, Yang Zengxin could only be buried in Beijing, inland after his death.

Yang Zengxin did not release the scroll all his life, and the next pen was immediate. In his lifetime, he left six volumes of yi notes, seven volumes of laozi notes, and three first collections of "Supplementing The Zai Wen Mu", a total of fifty-four volumes, thirty volumes of diaries, and "Supplementary Notes on the Yin Fu Jing", which became precious historical materials for people to understand the history of Xinjiang during the Republic of China. Wang Xue, Yang Zengxin's daughter, once said in the preface to his posthumous book "Supplementing the Zai Wen Mu": "In the past ten years, the supervision of the new decade alone can be painstakingly lonely, and the measures are not as good as right and wrong, and Yu Nei is a Confucian talent, and it should be feared that the outside world will not be able to achieve the change of power." ”

Wang Shuyu said in the "Mengzi Yang Gong Family Biography" that the Yang family "originally matched the Xie family, followed by the Feng, Cui, and Chen clans, and the sons of the three sons: Ying Qian, Jian served; the second Ying Kun and Ying Geng." Female son two: Chang Ying Huan, Suitable Wen Shui Wang, Nai Wei Ji Ying Lian. (Mengzi Yang Gong's Family Biography, p. 13) that is, Yang Zengxin's descendants are three men and two women.

In 2017, when I was editing "This Journey Is A Little Far: A Collection of Commemorative Essays of Yang Sickle", through Mr. Yang Sickle's wife, Mr. Zhang Yiqing, I contacted Mr. Yang Shaoji, the grandson of Yang Zengxin, who now lives in Canada. Yang Shaoji also specially wrote an old poem commemorating Mr. Yang Sickle for the commemorative collection to commemorate it.

As of April 30, 2018

Proofreading review on February 23, 2020. The author has edited the book "This Journey is a Bit Far: Yang Sickle's Commemorative Anthology", and through Yang Sickle's wife, Teacher Zhang Yiqing, he transferred a poem to mourn Yang Zengxin's grandson Yang Shaoji: "Carrying ghosts and a cart to grab their bodies, the hearts of the people go up and down frequently; the wild desert building Is lanju, the sunset is dangerous Andi Huazhen; the wind and friendship are peaceful and life-saving gatherings, and the article Qingshi Is loose; Yueyang does not dare to summon soul sacrifices, afraid of touching the front edge and weeping new." ”!
