The Chinese civil war after the fall of the Qing Dynasty was actually just beginning. ([] )
Song Biao was not without the strength to defeat all the miscellaneous armies at this time. His problems were just like Yuan Shikai and Chiang Kai-shek back then. First of all, the war-weariness of the whole country after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty. The people called for peace and hoped that life would restore its original peace as soon as possible.
Economy, trade and agricultural production have stabilized again; secondly, uprisings have been rebelled everywhere, and even the governor of Sichuan Zhao Erfeng has announced the uprising, and no longer recognized the Qing Dynasty. If the battle continues, we must find another reason.
Finally, it’s the emperor’s question.
The emperor's authority and establishment come from two forces, one is the feudal divine authority's decree from heaven, the thought of gods, and the other is the inertia of tradition and history.
Song Biao does not occupy either.
The Restoration Association believed that the emperor was needed. In addition to the traditional inertia, it also believed that China needed enlightened people and powerful figures to command the whole country. At this point, the Restoration Association led by Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Binglin, Tao Chengzhang and others was jointly with Liang Qichao's Restoration Association, Zhang Jian
The Constitutional Council can reach an agreement, and "Song Zhendan" is the only candidate they can recognize.
The politics in the late Qing Dynasty was by no means so simple. The Tongmenghui was an extremely scattered revolutionary organization. The institutions in each province were different. The Restoration Society was relatively close to a political organization, but there were also larger numbers between the branches and general associations of each province.
political differences.
The Reform and Progress Association, the Constitutional Council, and the New Deal Power National Congress are all scattered organizations. Each province has different organizational forms and purposes. The mainstream social classes in each province are local gentry celebrities, as well as the gang training, gymnastics associations, and patrol camps they lead.
Security teams and other local armed forces. It was these organizations and armed forces who joined the revolutionary tide of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, which ultimately caused the Qing Dynasty to completely destroy it.
These people may belong to different organizations such as the Restoration Association, the Reform Commission, the Constitutional Council, the Strong National Congress, the Progress Council, and the Progress Council. They may not belong to these organizations, but in the province, they generally prefer local autonomy and are not in line with the central government.
Trust and the desire to control the governance power of the province. In addition, various armed forces gathered together, the political situation within various provinces of China was extremely complicated after the fall of the Qing government.
The Baochuan Association established by Zhao Erfeng in Sichuan was to establish a political alliance based on the rich and famous people in the province and the scattered uprising troops. In the name of Sichuan Autonomy, he controlled the military and political power of Sichuan Province.
If Song Biao just wants to deal with these people, it would be simple, but there is also the Tongmenghui, a messenger.
The Tongmenghui is not strong. Although the Tongmenghui belongs to the Tongmenghui, it still has great political differences with Sun Yixian, Huang Xing and others. Even in Guangdong and Guangxi, the Tongmenghui's military strength and social influence are not the greatest.
.
The problem is that Tongmenghui is indeed a messenger.
The political goal of the Restoration Association is to establish a centralized Chinese Empire, rejuvenate the Chinese nation, and establish a strong new empire. First, we must unify military forces with the monarch and then unify political forces with the central cabinet government, whether it is Zhao Erxun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, or Sichuan.
Governor Zhao Erfeng, Shandong Governor Sun Baoqi, and the so-called "revolutionary" governments in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan and Shaanxi. Everyone firmly opposed it.
In such a general environment, the Tongmenghui promotes democracy and the American republican federal system to hit the weakness of the Restoration Association. The cooperation between the Tongmenghui and the provincial advisory bureaus has become a general trend, as if it was overnight, everyone
Talking about republic.
Since they do not have an advantage in military affairs, the Tongmenghui and the "revolutionary" governments of various provinces demanded a stop to the civil war, and joined forces with various local forces to promote the federal autonomy system.
In addition to the big debate across the country, there are also constant conflicts among local provinces, Tongmenghui, Restoration Society, and local factions. The armed struggles between military forces such as the new army, local revolutionary army and other military forces are becoming increasingly fierce.
Therefore, the Chinese civil war after the fall of the Qing Dynasty actually just began.
In order to deal with the current situation, Song Biao's strategy is to unite the big and abandon the small, unite the big and give up the small and he has funds, military strength, and the stable territory of the three northeastern provinces and abundant tax support. What is he afraid of?
?
After reaching a reconciliation with the Beiyang Army, Song Biao actively reorganized the Beiyang Army as the Fifth Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, while constantly mobilizing troops to prepare for attacking Wuchang. At the same time, through the temporary cabinet government, the three eastern provinces, Zhili and Shanxi,
Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hunan are included in the scope of daily governance, ban the original provincial advisory bureaus, and established provincial parliaments. Through this process, a large number of key members of the provincial rehabilitation associations were introduced to serve as provincial parliamentarians, appoint the governors and all levels.
Officials were in charge of government affairs, and they drew officers from the Northeast Army to these provinces to organize patrol troops from various provinces. After controlling the main railways and two major fleets in the country, the stock of firearms and ammunition began to be transported to various places through railways and waterways.
Song Biao's plan was to form ten patrol troops and corps in the ten provinces he had already controlled, each with 12,500 people, equivalent to a town-level organization of a new army, equivalent to members of the Tongmenghui in the Restoration Association, or
At a disadvantage, members of the Restoration Association of the new army in each town led the troops to withdraw, but did not tangle with the Tongmenghui, and re-established the patrol army and formally broke with it.
In this way, the provisional government will stop paying military salaries for the new army controlled by the Tongmenghui.
Even if the ideas promoted by the Tongmenghui are attractive, one of their shortcomings is extremely difficult to solve, that is, there is no money, and there is no military pay. Without military pay, can we still rob as a revolutionary army?
Song Biao's move was extremely sharp. Under the pressure of military pay, the 27th Town stationed in Chengde officially recognized the provisional government, transferred it from Chengde, took the railway north to Shenyang for reorganization, and was incorporated into the 27th Army.
division.
After the uprising, Sun Daoren, the general manager of the tenth town who joined the Tongmenghui, changed his original intention to join the liberation meeting under the persuasion of Cheng Biguang and his subordinate Wang Qi, and announced that Fujian Province would abolish ** and accept the jurisdiction of the temporary cabinet government.
After receiving Sun Daoren's telegram, Song Biao was very happy. He immediately called the Second Staff Officer Li Xuanti, a second-class Staff Officer from Fuzhou, came over.
Song Biao is still very familiar with these staff officers in the Second Staff Bureau. Li Xuanti is not very good at this person. He is not very good at it, but he is not low, and he is more careful.
Song Biao planned to send him to Fujian to preside over the work of the patrol army. Fujian is really important to the temporary cabinet government. Only by controlling this place can Song Biao restore the prosperity of China's tea and porcelain trade, and own the Fuzhou Naval Academy.
A ready-made military port in the south.
After hearing the order, Li Xuanti quickly ran to the commander-in-chief's office, stood attentively and saluted: "Second-class staff officer Li Xuanti came to report."
He was very happy because this was the first time he had been summoned by the chief executive alone.
Oh. It should be the emperor now.
He thought so.
Seeing him in, Song Biao waved his hand and signaled him to come and sit on the chair at his desk, saying, "You are here just in time. The Tenth Town has announced that it will be under the jurisdiction of the provisional government. You are from Fuzhou, and I plan to send you.
In the past, he served as the captain of the Fujian Provincial Patrol Force."
Li Xuanti was greatly surprised. He was promoted from a second-class staff officer to the commander of the patrol army of a province, which was equivalent to being promoted from a battalion commander to a division commander.
Seeing that he was surprised and difficult to accept, Song Biao comforted him: "You don't have to worry. There are arrangements for all aspects of work. As long as you contact the Fujian Restoration Association in the past, you can gradually open up the work situation. The firearms and ammunition associations will be
Carry it from the Navy.”
Li Xuanti then woke up and replied immediately: "Thank you, General Secretary... No, thank you for the promotion of the emperor. I will definitely work hard for the humble position."
This is the only time Li Xuanti has met with the new emperor alone in recent times. It is really normal to say it a little messy, especially in terms of the title.
Song Biao has never been very concerned about this matter. Anyway, it is still unknown whether he can sit firmly on the throne of the emperor, and he has not officially announced his ascension to the throne. He still called Li Xuanti to sit down and said, "I call you here, and I also want to
Ask your opinion, do you know if there is a suitable candidate for teaching?”
Li Xuanti thought for a while and said, "My classmate Xu Zhuo is the right candidate. He has always been very accomplished in military use and is also a member of the Restoration Association very early. Cheng Shouzhen is more suitable, but he should not be able to be transferred, right?"
"oh!"
Song Biao smiled and said, "Cheng Shouzhen must not be able to transfer. He has a heavy task on the Second Staff Bureau. During this period, I am planning to transfer him to the Second Army as the head of the instructor."
Li Xuanti said: "That's Xu Zhuo, it's still very good. It's much better than me anyway."
Song Biao smiled, originally wanted to say something like "You know yourself", but he didn't say it out loud. After all, this is something that everyone knows very well. Li Xuanti's ability is average, so why was he sent to Fuzhou
Being the commander of the Fujian Provincial Patrol Force is nothing more than a relationship among people from Fuzhou.
At this time, Jiang Zhengyuan suddenly ran in with a nervous expression, and saluted him when he arrived at Song Biao. He handed over the telegram book marked with a purple sign symbolizing the emergency telegram to Song Biao, and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Daoren is approved by the 20th Cooperation Council of the subordinates.
Chongzhi assassinated, and Xu Chongzhi is expected to cancel Fujian's plan to abandon ** autonomy."
Song Biao was very surprised and hurriedly opened the telegram book to browse. The telegram was sent back by the Intelligence Bureau in Fuzhou, which was a telegram that was sent only a few minutes ago.
Song Biao was quite puzzled. Didn’t he just declared autonomy?
He thought carefully and said to Jiang Zhengyuan: "Give power to the liaison officer of the Fujian Liberation Association and the Tenth Town Liberation Association, and ask them to withdraw from the Tenth Town immediately. If the other party blocks it, they can shoot back. Generate power to Cheng Biguang and ask the cruiser to ask the cruiser to
The team sent ships south, has the Third Infantry Division arrived in Hanyang?"
Jiang Zhengyuan said: "I arrived in Hanyang yesterday."
Song Biao said: "Generate power to Chen Wu and Xiao Xingheng, and call the Third Infantry Division of the First Army and the 21st Infantry Division to prepare for the south... I will not generate power to Xiao Xingheng for the time being, and the 21st Infantry Division will be inside.
There are also many members of the Tongmenghui. Chen Wu secretly prepared to go south and the Shipping Bureau and the Navy were ready to pick up and drop off. Since the other party gave us this opportunity, we cannot miss it. Let the members of the Restoration Association of Wuchang's New Army escort to speed up the evacuation of the Eighth Town.
In conjunction with the 21st, we will form the Hubei Patrol Force and prepare for cooperation with the First Infantry Division and the Second Infantry Division to attack Wuchang."
Jiang Zhengyuan paused and said yes, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, so he turned around and left the General Office.
Jiang Zhengyuan knew in his heart that although he didn't think it was good, a large civil war within the Revolutionary Army was inevitable. The Tongmenghui's radical behavior was really a way to die and give him a handle. You must know that Song Biao has been waiting for this.
A good opportunity.
When Jiang Zhengyuan left, Song Biao called Tang Shaoyi, the Prime Minister of the Provisional Cabinet Government, and Cai Yuanpei of the Restoration Association, and asked them to collectively generate electricity to condemn the Tongmenghui and completely take a break. On the other hand, the Contact Bureau informed all regions.
Just create a more tense atmosphere, not afraid of assassination, and seize the opportunity to formally split.
Song Biao did not deny it at all. He had been waiting for the split for a long time.
The Tongmenghui does often engage in assassination and regards this as a magic weapon to shake the world on which it relies on. However, it is unknown that although the Resurrection Society disdains this, it is definitely dozens of times better than theirs if it really takes revenge.
Song Biao just disdains to do this.
Although Fujian Province failed to officially join the camp of the Chinese Empire and the Restoration Association, Song Biao still asked Li Xuanti to prepare and secretly go to Fujian to form a patrol force in advance to handle the Third Infantry Division's journey south.
Song Biao didn't know how to find an opportunity to plant his ace troops in the south. Now that he has the opportunity, how could he miss it?
In fact, it is not the first time that the Tongmenghui and the Restoration Society have assassinated their competitors, but this time the level is a bit higher, killing the command of a new army.
Judging from the map, as long as Song Biao formally finalizes the three provinces of Jiangxi, Anhui and Hubei, the territory of the Chinese Empire will cover the entire Northeast, North China, Central China, East China, Jiangsu Province, and Shandong Province due to the complex situation, it is still difficult to say now.
He was completely under Song Biao's control, but at least he publicly admitted to accepting the jurisdiction of the Imperial Provisional Government, and the Provincial Advisory Bureau was gradually in the process of replacing.
Song Biao just followed the steps and replaced all provincial legislators in his control with the Restoration Association. Members of the Restoration Association could not cause any major storm and waves by relying solely on the Tongmenghui and the autonomous faction.
His steady arrangement must have made Tongmenghui feel terrified, and overreaction is almost difficult to avoid.
Just the second day after Sun Daoren was assassinated, a newspaper suddenly claimed that the Restoration Association sent someone to murder Sun Daoren. The facts are very clear. Sun Daoren has decided to announce the abolition of ** autonomy. Why did Song Biao kill him?
The Tongmenghui can publish news in the newspaper to defend itself, but in Fuzhou, the officers and soldiers of the 10th Town had sharp eyes.
When the officers and soldiers of the Restoration Association, who were originally in a vulnerable state, received support from many officers and soldiers because of Sun Daoren's murder. They also had fierce military conflicts with Xu Chongzhi. The two sides fired intensively on each other in the suburbs of Fuzhou, with many casualties.
Just when the Third Infantry Division received a telegram from Song Biao to prepare to go south to Fujian, Xu Chongzhi himself was shot dead by his subordinates. Wang Qi, the 19th Mixed Association, led the Liberation Sect to capture more than 400 soldiers of the Allied Sect.
The civil strife in the Tenth Town was once again announced on the morning of August 22 that Fujian Province abolished the ** autonomy and was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Provisional Cabinet Government.
