    Chapter 621: The End of Chen Tiannan

    The Lunan uprising centered on Juye finally broke out under Chen Tiannan's deliberate instigation. Hundreds of thousands of deceived people, under the command of Chen Tiannan's confidants, approached Heze. Li Honggang ordered all troops to withdraw to Heze immediately.  The mob's momentum was at its peak, and they were temporarily sheltered from conflict with the people. Chen Tiannan's plan was realized, and it was impossible for Li Honggang's tens of thousands of troops to march into the wilderness and pursue his team.

    Li Honggang knew that Chen Tiannan was taking the opportunity to escape, so he was not in a hurry. With just a few thousand troops, he wanted to escape from Shandong smoothly and join the Japanese as a traitor. How could such a cheap thing happen? The journey from Juye to Cangzhou was more than a thousand miles.  There were several lines of defense waiting for him. The cavalry brigade had already set off, chasing Chen Tiannan's team. He also sent a telegram to Tang Qiuquan, who had completed the Taishan bandit suppression in the Luzhong area and was resting in the Tai'an area, requesting assistance.  intercepted Chen Tiannan's armed forces.

    Qiuquan, who received Li Honggang's telegram, immediately ordered his troops to leave Tai'an and march south to Dongping overnight. Chen Tiannan must be armed and intercepted in this area. More than 30,000 troops, like a big net, were heading north to Cangzhou to join the imperial army.  Chen Tiannan went to cover him up, but he didn't know it yet.

    In the middle of the night, the violent people rushed to Heze City and immediately surrounded Heze. However, they did not attack the city. They looked at the Heze City with its four closed gates, and the black holes on the top of the city.  Outside, the people in front have stopped, and the people behind are still more than ten miles away from Heze. Li Honggang's strategy of avoiding his aggressiveness has paid off. After all, he is not a regular army. How long can this tone last?  On the way to Heze, many people sneaked home.

    The violence that occurred in Lunan was quickly reported to the division commander Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli's reply was also very simple, "The culprit Chen Tiannan must be captured alive. The evidence is conclusive. After a public trial, he will be shot on the spot. Remember, convincing the people is the top priority.  , we must not lose the support of the people, this is one of the factors for our troops to gain a firm foothold in Shandong.¡±

    As for how to deal with the current violence, Tang Qiuli didn't mention a word. He believed in Li Honggang's ability. If even this matter was handled improperly, Li Honggang would not be able to achieve his current position. What's more, the government he was in finally  Now that he is good at mass work, he doesn't need to worry about this. Tang Qiuli's attention has been fully focused on the Japanese Kwantung Army's Southward Regiment in Shexian County. He has a new plan to suppress bandits in Shandong.  Even Lunan's violence did not affect the implementation of his plan.

    On March 6, people stayed overnight outside Heze City.  I no longer had the energy I had when I came. The night was cold and the wind was cold. I hurriedly traveled nearly a hundred miles. I was already thinking about the empty city strategy in my stomach. They were all exhausted and looked blankly at the closed city gate of Heze. They didn¡¯t know.  What¡¯s next?

    Chen Tiannan's confidant, who was hidden in the violent crowd, was spotted by the soldiers of the special operations unit while he was jumping up and down. Under the cover of night, taking advantage of the large crowd and no one who knew each other, a commotion ensued.  At that time, two people held each other, and they were quietly locked up in a secluded place. Without these people who fanned the flames, the common people had no backbone.

    The stalemate lasted until noon. The arrogance in the hearts of the common people who had been carrying water and rice for a day and a night had been diluted by practical problems. There was still so much work to do at home, and no one from the Central Army showed up.  , we can¡¯t even find anyone to talk to, so don¡¯t waste your time here and go back as soon as possible. Anyway, the Central Army didn¡¯t come to Juye. Besides, Commander Chen¡¯s team and himself didn¡¯t show up either.  There is no backbone.

    The anger in the hearts of the people who participated in the riots has been completely eliminated. They don¡¯t know what they are doing. The Central Army got out of Lunan. They did not send troops at all. This kind of emotion is contagious. It lasted until the afternoon.  Two-thirds of the tens of thousands of ordinary people have dispersed, and more than half of the remaining people are preparing to go back, and they can still catch up with dinner when they get home.

    Suddenly, a loudspeaker shouted from the top of the city: "Fellow folks in Lunan, I am Li Honggang, chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government. Don't fall into other people's traps. I have a suggestion. Please elect representatives. We are under the city of Heze.  , talk about the issue face to face, please rest assured that I am sincere." Li Honggang finally showed up when the time came.

    When the people outside the city saw someone coming forward, he was a high-ranking official and wanted to find out the matter. They immediately elected more than a hundred representatives. Li Honggang held talks with these representatives under the city of Heze. At the same time, he also ordered the troops to  A large amount of dry food and drinking water were immediately prepared and delivered to the people outside the city.

    This move immediately broke the hearts of the people who had not left. During the meeting, Li Honggang was sincere and told the whole story. He took out the official document he issued and asked the representatives to read it. He also said that in a few days  , I must go to Juye in person, find out the root cause of the matter, and give a satisfactory explanation to the people of Lunan.

      The chairman of the provincial government came forward in person, and there was evidence that the Central Army not only did not shoot, but also sent water and steamed buns. It was not like what Commander Chen said. After the representatives returned, they immediately publicized the situation to these people.  The crowd finally dispersed. Li Honggang let out a long breath and found that his shirt was soaked.

    Afterwards, Tang Qiuli was particularly satisfied with Li Honggang's method and final result of handling the huge violence. Li Honggang's old friends all joked with him, "Song Taizu is a man who releases his military power with a glass of wine, but you, Li Honggang, are a steamed bun that disperses the morale of the army. Retreat."  Li Honggang could only smile bitterly. The situation at that time was really critical. If hundreds of thousands of people really attacked Heze, what would be the outcome now?

    Chen Tiannan, who thought he had a plan, did not dare to delay a step, and took more than 5,000 people to the north via Wenshang. When he counted the number of people at dawn, he found that several Japanese were missing, and his bodyguards were also missing. Chen Tiannan was angry  He had to curse, the absence of the Japanese made him feel chilled, and the absence of the guards made him sad. The Japanese were greedy for life and feared death, so they escaped alone. It was understandable that the personal guards who had spent countless oceans to escape were the ones in his heart.  Chen Tiannan lamented that the world was declining and people's hearts were not as old as before.

    Chen Tiannan did not think deeply. His guards had all turned into corpses when they were in Juye. At this time, the special operations team had already escorted several Japanese. On the way back to Heze, Chen Tiannan no longer had the courage to go.  After attacking Jinan, the Japanese disappeared and his backbone was removed. At this moment, Chen Tiannan had only one idea: to leave Shandong as soon as possible and reach the area controlled by the Hebei Imperial Army, where would be his final destination.

    Chen Tiannan's team crossed the Daqing River and hurriedly headed towards Dongping. They ran into the encirclement that Tang Qiuquan had already arranged. Fierce gunshots and fierce artillery fire rang out from all around. Chen Tiannan's team was hit hard.  Chen Tiannan, who was suddenly struck by the attack, realized that the situation was not good. From the analysis of the firepower of his troops, it was probably the main force of the ** Division. Strangely, the troops of the ** Division Heze had been entangled in Lu by his own tricks.  Nan, where did this army come from?

    He ordered the team to fight back on the spot, organized the death squads to break out, and rushed out one by one. Chen Tiannan already understood that he was afraid that the more than 5,000 people with his guns would be blamed here. Chen Tiannan's death squads hit the iron plate with their heads.  Under the fierce firepower of the ** division troops, no one survived.

    Chen Tiannan was lying on the ground, surrounded by the towering smoke pillars caused by the explosion of artillery shells. His men were staggered by the artillery fire and were out of formation. After several twists and turns, the Shandong Anti-Japanese Rescue Corps lost more than 3,000 people. He sighed deeply,  Knowing that the situation was over, he ordered the remaining 2,000 people to immediately cross the Daqing River and move to the Liangshan area. At this time, he still had the illusion of leaving some seeds so that he could make a comeback in the future.

    The dejected and shocked remnants of Chen Tiannan had just climbed up the south bank of the Daqing River, and before they had time to shake off the ice, more than 6,000 cavalrymen from Liu Chun's First Division Cavalry Brigade, like dark clouds, pressed forward and intercepted them, with the sound of hoofbeats.  In the sky, the sabers were sharp, and Chen Tiannan's defeated troops were driven all over the bank of the Daqing River. Two legs could not outrun four legs. The routed troops screamed and fell down one after another. Liu Chun's order was to annihilate them all.  This traitor armed force left no one behind. More than 6,000 cavalrymen surrounded more than 2,000 broken soldiers, chopping melons and vegetables.

    Tang Qiuquan's troops on the north bank of the Daqing River crossed the river again and joined the battle to encircle and annihilate the remnants of Chen Tiannan's troops. The battle was one-sided. More than 5,000 people under Chen Tiannan's troops were all trapped in the net. No one was spared. Chen Tiannan himself was among the soldiers who swept the battlefield.  They found out from the pile of corpses that this guy didn't have any injuries on his body, but he had blood all over his face and was lying in the pile of dead people pretending to be dead.

    If the soldier cleaning the battlefield hadn't accidentally stepped on his hand, the guy would have screamed. Perhaps he had deceived him into hiding, and the soldier was startled.  , determined to be a big guy, found the injured prisoner to identify him, and Chen Tiannan finally revealed his true form.

    From the items he carried with him, a large number of telegrams related to the Japanese coming abroad were found, as well as a list of weapons and ammunition secretly supplied to him by the Japanese. Only then did Chen Tiannan feel that he had been living in a dream, and he was unwilling to do so.  Asked Qiu Quan, who was interrogating him, "Sir, didn't the Japanese in the direction of Cangzhou attack southward?" Without answering, Chen Tiannan had already guessed the answer from the contemptuous expression on Qiu Quan's face. He sighed and said,  Didn't say a word.

    Chen Tiannan was escorted back to Juye. Li Honggang held a public trial in Juye attended by tens of thousands of people. He also brought several captured Japanese and hundreds of Chen Tiannan's confidants who were mixed in with the mob to the stage.  , the iron-clad facts educated the deceived Juye people and recognized Chen Tiannan¡¯s true face.

    On March 9, Tang Qiuli, the top military and political officer in the north, issued an order to execute Chen Tiannan and Chen Tiannan¡¯s key armed elements.Under the death penalty order, a total of 453 people were executed by firing squad. Outside Juye City, it became a huge execution ground. Tang Qiuli's iron-blooded side was once again reflected.
