Chapter 435: Different ambitions and not alliances
Li Ningyu's words reflected domineering power in the minds of the Far East soldiers, but in Yuan Shikai's ears, they were threats. As for what the revolutionary army and the powers of various countries thought, Li Ningyu didn't bother to care, because he knew
, as long as the Far East Group is in Asia, there will be no endless civil war in the country.
After the War of the Century, little Japan was completely attached to the embrace of the United States, and had to live on the soles of Tian's shoes every day. However, it was true that little Japan tasted the sweetness, and also recruited a large number of troops in the country. After the revolutionary army uprising in the country
, little Japan’s eager heart has stirred up trouble again.
While Little Japan was seeking advice from its mother in the United States, it was quietly contacting the Russian Empire. It seemed that it wanted to make a comeback with the help of the Second Northeast War. At the same time, it was also conspiring with Yuan Shikai of the Beiyang Group.
Finally, shortly after the Second Northeast War between the Far East Group and the Tsarist Russian Empire was ignited, the Japanese ambassador to China met with Yuan Shikai again and submitted the 21 cooperation documents, hoping that Yuan Shikai would respond in absolute confidentiality and as soon as possible.
These 21 items are divided into five major items: First: Little Japan helps Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Group disperse the Far East Corps, then Yuan Shikai must recognize that Little Japan inherits all German rights and interests in Shandong, and at the same time Shandong is not allowed to be leased to other countries; second
2: Little Japan has many privileges such as living in, traveling between, and operating industry, commerce, and mining in Southern Manchuria and Inner Mongolia. At the same time, it has extended the lease period of Lushun and Dalian and the management period of the Southern Manchuria and Anfeng railways to 99 years.
Third: All coastal harbors and islands will not be leased or transferred to other countries; Fourth: Joint arsenal; Fifth: The construction rights of the railways between Wuchang and Nanchang, Nanchang and Hangzhou, and Nanchang and Chaozhou belong to Little Japan, and
Priority for mining in coastal areas, building roads, etc.
Putting aside the fact that these 21 measures severely damaged the country's sovereignty, Yuan Shikai naturally did not dare to accept it immediately. In addition, he was in a dilemma, so the only thing he could do now was to speed up the process of forcing the palace.
However, this news still leaked out, which made the European and American powers with interests in China very dissatisfied with Little Japan. However, in the end, with the coordination of the United States, it gradually stopped, but this also paved the way for the twenty-year agreement between Yuan Shikai and Little Japan.
One article laid the foundation.
Although Japan did not reach an agreement with Yuan Shikai due to the intervention of various countries, it immediately sought the support of Tsarist Russia and the United States, and then seduced Yuan Shikai until it finally resorted to the threat of force. In the end, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Group accepted the Twenty-One Secret Treaty
.
The domestic people have been in a patriotic struggle for a long time, so the Twenty-One Incident caused the situation to escalate day by day. Later, Japan also saw that the situation was seriously escalating, so it stepped up its efforts to coerce Yuan Shikai. In the end, the intervention plan of the European powers failed, and Yuan Shikai signed the
The so-called Sino-Japanese Treaty, and it was already May 25.
In about three and a half months and 110 days, what changes have taken place in the domestic situation? How could Yuan Shikai have the right to sign such a traitorous agreement?
Everything seems to start again when Duan Tong returns to China.
On February 5, 1901, the Mecca seaport was extremely busy, but it was not the shipping giants from all over the world. Because today was a special day, the Mecca seaport was under complete blockade and martial law, with densely populated warships at sea. At the same time,
There are different flags flying, including the Union Jack flag of the Empire on which the sun never sets, the special military flag of the Far East Navy, and some of the flags of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In the noisy harbor, the protagonists surrounded by a group of people began to wave goodbye, then boarded different battleships, and then the two escort fleets left in two different directions.
One team was Duan Tong's return to China. The original plan was to take an ocean-going cargo ship to return home, but in the end Li Ningyu insisted on sending a small fleet to escort, but Duan Tong did not agree. In desperation, Li Ningyu had to add one more person to the fleet.
The mission is to escort the accumulated gold and diamonds mined from Africa back to China.
Li Ningyu and King Edward VII took the battleship to Berlin, Germany. Among the accompanying personnel were Zeng Fanyong, Wan'er, Zhao Duoduo and others, while the iron soldiers stayed in Saudi Arabia.
But this time when Duan Tong returned to China, Li Ningyu planned to ask Zeng Fanyong to accompany him, but was rejected again. In the end, Duan Tong chose Chiang Zhongzheng, which made Li Ningyu's heart skip a beat.
Li Ningyu was still a little worried about having Jiang Zhongzheng by his side, so he secretly arranged for two internal guards to pay close attention to his every word and deed. As expected, Jiang Zhengzheng might be a man in the sky.
The deputy was rebellious, so after Li Ningyu and Duan Tong arrived in Berlin and China at the same time, he finally made his own little move.
In Jiang Zhongzheng's mind, although Li Ningyu was kind to his family, he had never been successful in the Far East system. He seemed to have realized that Li Ningyu would never reuse him, so after arriving in China, Jiang
Zhongzheng was really jumping up and down, secretly using his position in the Far East to create opportunities for Yuan Shikai and the revolutionary army, and holding the two families together.
But in the end, Li Ningyu simply took advantage of the situation and allowed some of Chiang Zhongzheng's excessive behavior, and after obtaining a large amount of evidence, he took drastic measures.
Of the six towns of the Beiyang New Army, Yuan Shikai controlled five towns, and their strength was naturally higher than that of the Imperial Guards in the Forbidden City. According to Li Ningyu's instructions, Emperor Guangxu abdicated, and then moved to North Korea together with the entire Manchu royal family. Then Yuan Shikai successfully
Stealing the fruits of the revolutionary army.
Good times don't last long, but the spring breeze blows and things come back again.
Only Yuan Shikai is suitable to play the ugly role that attempts to reverse the wheel of history, and naturally this type of clown ends up in ruin.
At the same time, history has once again proved that anyone who disregards the requirements of social and historical development and goes against the will of the people, no matter how powerful he is, how arrogant and domineering he is, can only be prominent for a while at most, and the final result will inevitably be thrown into the
In the dustbin of history.
Just the day before Li Ningyu was going to marry Princess Louise of Germany, Yuan Shikai's so-called Congress, the so-called people's petition group (actually a group of beggars hired with money to petition), the so-called Security Council and the so-called
With the strong support of the national representatives of various provinces, Yuan Shikai began his action to restore the monarchy.
After many false concessions, Yuan Shikai thought that his wish to establish the Chinese Empire had been realized. Just when he was preparing to implement a constitutional monarchy and change the Nanjing Presidential Palace into the Xinhua Palace, the Far East Group, in compliance with God's will and the people's support, began to
It was encircled on three sides.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will naturally go to the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven, but Yuan Shikai died on the day of worshiping heaven. However, there is one thing Yuan Shikai did. At least he was the emperor for a while, while Li Ningyu never became the emperor in his life, but with Li Ningyu
If they have different ambitions, they will not be allies.
