In the Beiyang era, although heroes from all sides competed for deer, they rarely killed them all.
This was determined by the heroic temperament of that era.
Since Yuan Shikai suppressed the south with the north, coerced the north with the south, and forced the Qing court to abdicate in a bloodless way, there has been little killing competition in the entire Beiyang grand stage, and the heroes of all sides seem to be wearing a corner of the era, winning and continuing to flaunt their might on the stage, losing the costume and quietly stepping down, when the Yugong spectator is. Talking about the origins, talking about the robe and righteousness that can always be discussed, few people go to the ladder of stepping down, and put the failed people at the knife edge and cliff.
No one is an absolute winner, and no one is ever unlucky.
To leave a retreat for those who have lost today is to leave a way for themselves to live in the coming day, which is the tacit consensus of the heroes of Beiyang.
Because of this, the rush of the Beiyang era will present such a scene, dusty but without losing grace.
But there are exceptions.
In the Beiyang era, there were several famous murderers with bad rules, one was Xu Shuzheng, one was Sun Chuanfang, and the other was Zhang Zongchang, these three Haojie had killed people under the bad rules of the situation, and the result was without exception, and they all ended up with a tragic death.
Nothing more than three.
In fact, any era of rules is the case, your broken rules may become a bullet of death, the bullet into the barrel of the gun may be the enemy of the past, may also be the opportunity of the ambitionist, in short, the tragic death must be unexpected, expected.
Reading history, the result is a mirror, and the process is even more so.
In these three homicide incidents with bad rules, the most alarming significance of the process is Xu Shuzheng's killing of Lu Jianzhang, and then we will talk about it in depth -
Lu Jianzhang is Yuan Shikai's confidant. After Yuan Shikai became president of the Republic of China, Lu Jianzhang served for a long time as the head of Yuan's military and police law enforcement department, doing all the dirty work of hunting down and killing the opposition.
Lu Jianzhang, this person is very bloody, very cruel, belongs to the lord who uses the head to show loyalty and pile up the future. The real opposition he wants to kill, the slightest suspicion or simply to frame the booty, he also wants to kill, and all with despicable means.
Whoever he has his eye on, he will often politely send this person a red post of banquet. When eating and drinking, he does not move, but on the contrary, he will create an atmosphere of conversation and joy. When he had eaten and drunk enough, his murderous drama began--in the future, he would send the gift to the door, and then suddenly pull out a gun in the back and kill him with one shot.
It is said that when Lu Jianzhang was arrogant, his mansion was always full of corpses, and the red posts he sent out for the banquet were also called "Yama King Tickets" by the people of the time, and he himself was even crowned with the notoriety of "Lu Butcher".
In the spring of 1914, the giant bandit Bai Lang led a crowd into Shaanxi, and Lu Jianzhang's unit was organized into the Seventh Division of the Army, which entered Shaanxi from Tongguan to suppress the Bai Lang Uprising.
Because of his meritorious efforts in suppressing Bai Lang, in 1915, Lu Jianzhang was promoted to a mighty general and supervised the military affairs of Shaanxi, which actually became a local hegemon.
During the one-year period of occupying Shaanxi, Lu Jianzhang's troops raped and plundered and did everything, of course, what the shaanxi people hated most was his butcher-style wanton and indiscriminate killing.
Such brutality finally provoked a change of rich civilians in March 1916.
The Anhui warlord Chen Shufan seized the opportunity to take his place.
In other periods, such a sinful person would definitely be executed after the defeat of the soldiers, but Chen Shufan, who replaced him, did not have bad rules, and he sent Lu Jianzhang, who was pulling five hundred large carts and carrying a huge amount of thirty million and two silver, out of the country.
However, Lu Jianzhang, who escaped the disaster, did not have the intention of giving up, he believed that the reason why he would lose his territory and lose Shaanxi was because Duan Qirui secretly supported Chen Shufan to make a bad decision on himself, so he had to wait for the opportunity to return the favor and take advantage of this to make a comeback.
At this time, Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang were staging a new round of government disputes, and Duan Qirui, who was as powerful as the sun in the sky, wanted to unify the world by force, and Feng Guozhang, who was not willing to show weakness, did not want the central authority to control in the hands of Duan, so he advocated a peace between the north and the south.
The two big men of the dynasty were at odds, which made Lu Jianzhang see an opportunity.
The enemy's enemy was a friend, so Hu Lu Jianzhang sided with Feng Guozhang, and he wanted to help Feng fall.
How about a reverse law?
To put it bluntly, it is still dirty work. In the past, he did dirty work with blood for Yuan Shikai, but now he helps Feng Guozhang to mash Duan Qirui's ghost, and the dirty work does not carry blood.
The reason why this history is of great cautionary significance is also reflected in Lu Jianzhang. People who do dirty work often don't end well, especially when they cling to one big guy and smash another big guy ghost.
When the world is dominated by a big guy, the biggest danger in doing dirty work is that after the wind direction changes, it is likely to become a scapegoat or be directly beaten into the culprit; and when the world is in contention for the two big guys, the biggest danger in doing dirty work is often at the present, in the era when there is no bottom line, it only takes a knife to kill such a person, and when it comes to the era of talking about the bottom line, it is also difficult to escape.
As long as there is a cruel person in the camp of the family who dares to break the rules.
At that time, there was such a ruthless person in Duan Qirui's Anhui camp who dared to break the rules, and this person was Xu Shuzheng.
Regarding Xu Shuzheng, we will not go into detail here, in short, this is a very talented, very unruly person, when fighting for Duan Qirui, he dared to deceive the Buddha, dare to kill the meaning of ghosts.
With such a person, the good drama is naturally not far away.
In Xu Shuzheng's eyes, Lu Jianzhang, who had repeatedly pounded the Anhui ghost, was a beast, and listening to this vicious and fierce name, it seemed that he had reached the point where he had to get rid of it.
When he decided to kill Lu Jianzhang, Xu Shuzheng was very powerful and was serving as the deputy commander of the Entry Pass Feng army. Some people may have to ask how the people of the Anhui clan became the deputy commander of the Feng clan.
This is where this man's audacity lies. In order to coax and encourage Zhang Zuolin to enter the guanxi aid section, he actually cut meat and fed tigers, and cooperated with Zhang Zuolin to rob a batch of arms that the Beiyang government had just transported to Qinhuangdao.
At this time, Lu Jianzhang was also in Tianjin. After discovering this news, Xu Shuzheng played a psychological game with Lu Jianzhang, and he sent a letter of invitation to Lu Jianzhang, inviting Lu Jianzhang to come to discuss military information and exchange opinions.
Lu Jianzhang knew that Xu Shuzheng hated himself, but when he saw the well-behaved invitation, he felt that Xu Shuzheng had no courage to kill people without authorization.
The little devil looked down on the fierce man.
After Lu Jianzhang miscalculated, Xu Shuzheng greeted him with joy, and during the banquet, he even talked and laughed with the people to be slaughtered, without the slightest previous feeling of unhappiness.
However, under the extreme entertainment is the imminent killing machine.
After the wine banquet was withdrawn, Xu Shuzheng told Lu Jianzhang that there was a garden in the back, the scenery was quite good, and it was better to go shopping while the wine was better, so as to talk about the heartfelt words.
Lu Jianzhang did not know that there was deception in it, and he was very interested and followed Xu Shuzheng.
Arriving at the claustrophobic back garden, Xu Shuzheng looked around, covered the garden door, and immediately turned his face, he asked Lu Jianzhang in a loud voice, do you know that you have committed a capital crime?
Hearing this, Lu Jianzhang suddenly lost his color, and he asked Xu Shuzheng without any strength, What is my crime?
Xu Shuzheng said, you are a southern lackey, running east and west, bad Duan Gong's big plan, and dare to say that you are not guilty -
Lu Jianzhang still wanted to argue, but Xu Shuzheng no longer listened, he made a look, and immediately tied Lu Jianzhang to the tree.
Lu Jianzhang begged for forgiveness, but he couldn't stop Xu Shuzheng from pulling out his gun and killing people.
It is worth mentioning that Xu Shuzheng's aftermath of the killing, his set of words can be called a classic of good killing, and many newly righteous courtiers in history have used it. It's just that when the famous courtiers use it, they are not afraid of the power to kill the recognized scum, but Xu Shuzheng is a little ghost who kills himself with bad rules.
Let's take a look at Xu Shuzheng's set of classic sayings of killing.
After killing Lu Jianzhang, Xu Shuzheng immediately sent a telegram to the Beiyang government's State Council and the War Department. In the telegram, Xu Shuzheng claimed that recently a person who called himself Lu Jianzhang had colluded with each other in various places to incite words and incitement; in the past few days, this person had infiltrated the headquarters of his own army stationed in Tianjin and wantonly seduced personnel everywhere in an attempt to shake the hearts of our army. Hearing the descriptions of people everywhere, Shu Zheng thought that General Lu would not be fooled to this point, and this person must be a fake unscrupulous party member who deliberately instigated sabotage.
This afternoon, this man openly came to us in the name of General Lu, and as soon as he sat down, he was full of bitter scolding, all of which were words that undermined the overall situation. Shu Zheng gently turned his advice, and knew that with the country in danger, he should be a friend of the compatriots, and he must not himself in the same room. But instead of listening, this man instigated the rebellion of the combined army of Shuzheng, saying that this was not the only way to relieve the hatred in his heart. Shu Zheng sternly warned that at this time, everyone should contribute to the country, how can they act perversely like this? Even if it is not for the sake of the country, is it not for its own descendants? But this man shouted that as long as he listened to him, he supported Duan Tuifeng, and more than 20,000 of his men in Lu, Anhui, Shaanxi, and Henan were at the disposal of Marco.
Shu Zheng had heard that some people had joined forces with bandits to disturb the order of the provinces of Lu, Anhui, Shaanxi, and Yu, and did not want this person to go to our army to openly speak out, provoke the government, and endanger the country. Shu Zheng thought that this person must be a cockroach thief in the army, and if he is not eliminated early, he will become a trouble in the future. Today's order to be executed on the spot is actually a black sheep for the country.
The essence of this set of killing rhetoric is that it is Obviously killing Lu Jianzhang, but it is necessary to say that it is the unscrupulous who pretends to be Lu Jianzhang! The ghost that the unscrupulous people want to smash is obviously Duan Qirui's ghost, but it is said to be the ghost that wants to smash Feng Guozhang.
When you're done, you'll have to splash a large basin of dirty water for all to see.
According to this, killing this person is not only for Lu Jianzhang's reputation, but also for Feng Guozhang's authority! Xu Shuzheng not only killed this person without fault, but also had merit!
Do you know Lu Jianzhang?
The subtext of this set of words has been answered, General Lu cannot be such a demon-like cockroach thief, if General Lu really degenerates to this point, then don't blame me for not recognizing it, let alone blame me for killing him.
For Lu Jianzhang, who died tragically, this is killing; for Feng Guozhang, who is behind Lu Jianzhang, this is sealing.
Unfortunately, although Lu Jianzhang is notorious, he is not the public enemy of all factions, so Xu Shuzheng can only let himself pass the pass for the time being, but he cannot wash away the hatred of some people and the hatred of some people.
There is hatred, there is hatred, and in an era of rules, if the rules are broken, sooner or later they will have to be returned.
Xu Shuzheng repaid this man's life debt in 1925, and he was nominally Lu Jianzhang's son who intercepted and killed him at Langfang Station.
Both men are tragic, but this tragedy is difficult to win the sympathy of history, like the indifferent bystanders they encountered after their tragic deaths.
Why is that?
Maybe they all have the shadow of finding death and doing death.
Do dirty work, bad rules, these are the two thunders of life, and later people should bypass it!
Don't take any chances, don't get carried away!
