Duan Qirui was very excited. Zhang Dingwu fell into the trap of "Little Fan Military Advisor" Xu Shuzheng, and he did the wrong thing.
When Xu Shuzheng came back from Xuzhou, he reported all his plans to Duan. Xiao Xu's plan was as follows: Use Zhang Xun's restoration to achieve the purpose of driving Li Yuanhong out of power, and then Duan raised troops to challenge Zhang. After overthrowing Li Yuanhong, he also
Can win the reputation of rebuilding the republic.
Lao Duan didn't say anything at that time. Although Xiao Xu was killing three islands with one stone, he felt from the bottom of his heart that it was a risky move.
But if we don't do this, we won't be able to achieve our goal. Lao Li himself will not resign voluntarily. We can't let him, the dismissed prime minister, lead the troops to attack the president, otherwise it will be unethical.
Xu Shuzheng took the check to the Northeast to mobilize Zhang Zuolin, while Duan Qirui waited for news in Tianjin.
Sure enough, half a month later, news came that Zhang Xun had supported the restoration of the young emperor. After Duan Qirui had breakfast, he rushed to Duan Zhigui's house to discuss countermeasures.
After a while, Chen Wenyun and others also arrived at Duan Zhigui's house. The result of everyone's discussion was: to raise troops to attack!
The problem is that Duan Qirui has no soldiers under his command. Although he has been the Minister of War for many years, he does not have any troops directly under his command. His disciple Fu Liangzuo is the governor of Hunan, but he only has one 12th Division under his command.
Wu Guangxin, his only direct brother-in-law, also led his 20th Division and was stationed in Yueyang, Hunan to support Fu Liangzuo to secure Hunan.
Duan Zhigui said: "With Zhi Gong's prestige, if you raise your arms and give a call, the whole country will respond!"
Duan Qirui thought it made sense and immediately sent Chen Wenyun to contact Li Changtai of the 8th Division stationed in Machang.
In the evening, Chen Wenyun came back from the horse factory and told Duan Qirui that Li Changtai had agreed to follow Duan Qirui in revolt.
Duan Qirui was overjoyed after hearing this and led his people to the horse factory overnight.
At one o'clock in the morning on July 2, Duan Qirui and others arrived at the horse factory. The commander of the 8th Division, Li Changtai, and the officers at battalion level and above were all there to greet him at the station. After Duan Qirui got off the bus, these people all saluted Lao Duan.
Expressing his willingness to obey Duan Qirui's command. Since the division headquarters was four miles away from Machang Station, Li Changtai prepared carriages for Duan Qirui and others. But Duan was very happy that night and refused to take the prepared carriages and horses.
Instead, he proposed that everyone walk to the division headquarters together. On the way forward, the two brothers Ran Fanrui, commander of the artillery regiment, and Ran Fanmin, commander of the infantry battalion, were still closely following Lao Duan, just like Ma Bian did back then.
At noon on the 2nd, after the news of Duan Qirui's arrival at the Machang came out, his subordinates and followers such as Jin Yunpeng, Jia Deyao, Tang Hualong and others also came to the Machang one after another. In the afternoon of the same day, the great writer Liang Qichao also rushed to the Machang.
After seeing this, Qi Rui said happily: "Ren Gong is here to boost the military power!" Liang Qichao said with a smile: "I can't fight, I am here to be the Prime Minister's little secretary!"
On July 3, Duan Qirui convened a military meeting in Machang to formally establish the "General Headquarters of the Anti-Rebellion Army", preparing to issue a telegram to announce the "anti-rebellion" and order the 8th Division to march towards Beijing.
At this time, Chen Wenyun rushed over from Tianjin and said without even breathing: "There is no need to turn on the electricity. The entire city of Beijing was occupied by Lin Anhua last night. Now the Northwest Army is everywhere in Beijing. Now everyone has electricity."
Sent out."
Then he handed a telegraph newspaper to Duan Qirui.
After reading the telegram, Lao Duan couldn't help but sigh and fell to the ground.
There is a saying: If a wise man thinks a lot, he will make one mistake. If he makes one wrong move, he will lose the whole game.
Xiao Xu cleverly devised a plan in which the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. He wanted to be the oriole, but he didn't expect that there was a weasel following behind him. He worked hard all his life for someone, but in the end he only married for someone else.
Clothes.
Everyone hurriedly carried Lao Duan to rescue him. Li Changtai, commander of the Eighth Division, picked up the fallen telegram from the ground and saw that it read:
God has brought disaster to China, and wolves have sprung up in droves. It has only been more than a year since the death of the former president, but a sudden incident has made us very sad. The country is poor and weak, surrounded by great powers. We should sincerely unite to jointly bear the national calamity, but the officials in the government and the opposition did not expect it.
For mere power, the power was at odds with each other. The first government officials fought and attacked each other, and then the governor army forced the palace, which led to today's disaster.
Against Zhang Xun, he harbored ambitions, pretended to mediate the current situation, and deployed troops in the capital. On July 1, there was a strange change that overthrew the state system. Now Zhang Xun and others brazenly risked their own interests with their personal rights.
The world is disobedient, so he promotes this treason plan. He wants to imitate Mang and Zhuo, and takes the young master to control the world. He actually falsely claims that Li Yuanhong will rebuild the republic, which has caused many disadvantages. He pleads to restore the emperor's rule to save living beings. He is free to issue false edicts. He is treasonous.
At this point, China and foreign countries were shocked.
I am not a talented person, I just came to the office of vice president. Suddenly I heard about this change, the public was in a rage, the capital was shaken, and I suddenly felt panic and uneasiness. I bowed and reflected on myself, I was ashamed of the legacy of the former president. I wanted to feel guilty, but I couldn't sit back and watch the fall of the republic.
, I should also save the previous dynasty from its embarrassment. After hearing about the chaos, I marched under the stars and night to lead the army into the defense. I vowed to live with the Republic and live together, and not to rebel against the sky.
Fortunately, God blessed the Republic. After a hard night's battle, the Shuo tribe defeated the rebels and restored the capital. After hearing the news that Zhang Ni had fled to the embassy, his troops were in disarray. Recently, the rebel troops were searching the whole city for the remnants of the monarchy. The capital has been stabilized. The Republic will be established forever.
, hereby announce it to the world!
Lin Shuo, Vice President of the Republic of China and Commander-in-Chief of the Rebel Army, only
Overnight, Zhang Xun's "braided army" collapsed, and Lin Shuo's rebel army captured Beijing!
Lin Shuo dispatched two divisions of the Northwest Army. The organization of each division of the Northwest Army was different from that of Beiyang. Each division had three brigades. On the way to Zhengding, Feng Yuxiang defected with the 16th Beiyang Mixed Brigade. When they arrived in Baoding, the Third Town
Commander Cao Kun sent Wu Peifu to lead a brigade to help out. More than 50,000 people attacked overnight. In addition, the patrol police of the capital and Chen Guangyuan's 12th Division immediately stopped after hearing the news. Lao Zhang's "braided army" with only more than 5,000 people collapsed suddenly.
Go down.
Bang bang ping ping, gunshots rang out in Sijiucheng for half the night. As dawn approached, the gunfire gradually subsided.
At dawn, if you dare, open the door a crack. On the street, there is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. There are big soldiers in gray military uniforms. Each soldier has a red hoop on his sleeve, which reads: Protect
Republic!
The police knocked on the door one by one and asked each house to tear down the yellow dragon flag made of paper in front of the door.
Grandma, how come the Qing Dynasty was over in just three days?
Tianjin, Duan Mansion, Duan Qirui covered his head with a white towel, someone was setting off cannons on the street, and he heard someone shouting: "Rebuild the Republic, long live the Republic!" This was originally the voice he wanted to hear the most, but it was a pity...
In the telegram, Anhua Lam publicly accused that it was the struggle between Li and Duan that caused today's disaster. He made it clear that he wanted to kick away both President Li Yuanhong and himself, the resigned prime minister, and he wanted to perform a one-man show.
Now Lao Duan regrets that he was so majestic when Lao Li was president, but now he is nothing but a tiger with his teeth pulled out.
I really feel unwilling to retreat to the forest.
Hum hum, I will live in Tianjin and see how you, Lin Anhua, deal with all the arrogant soldiers in Beiyang!
When you can't handle it anymore, you will naturally ask me to come out. By then...
Thinking this way, Lao Duan's mood gradually became calmer. But he was wondering why Lin Anhua was not in Fuzhou, but why did he go to Zhangyuan at this time and do it so quickly?
Read the newspaper, read the newspaper! The rebel army fell from the sky, Zhang Dingwu fled to the embassy!
Buy the newspaper, buy the newspaper! It only takes three days to restore the imperial house, and only one night to rebuild the republic! Li Yuanhong resigned via telegram, and Lin Anhua became the acting president. Watch the heroes of 1911 rebuild the republic today!
President Lin sent a message to the whole country to severely punish the leaders of the imperial system!
During the Yangtze River inspection, Feng Guozhang led the provincial governors to send telegrams to support President Lin's administration!
Li Yuanhong resigned sadly, but Lin Shuo approved and sent a company of soldiers to escort him and his family to settle in Tianjin. What Beijing left to Lao Li were basically humiliating memories.
Shixu, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, knelt his head on the ground. He didn't know what Lin Shuo would do with the royal family.
Lin Shuo personally helped the old military minister up, "I know there is something unspeakable in it. Master Shi has made it very clear on this matter. We don't want to change the preferential treatment regulations for the Qing Dynasty, but some people have to pursue it. However,
, The emperor must move out of the palace as soon as possible. I heard that a lot of things in the palace have leaked out. If you continue to live in the palace, all these national treasures will be stolen and sold by the servants!"
"Can you please extend some time and allow me to arrange a residence for the emperor?"
"Yes, but from now on, I will send troops to guard the palace gates. Everyone entering and leaving the palace must be inspected. Everything in the palace is a national treasure and not anyone's private property!" Lin Shuo said very tactfully, but
The tone left no room for doubt.
"Thank you, President, for your tolerance!" Pu Run and Pu Lun, who followed Shi Xu, bowed deeply to Lin Shuo.
"Run Beile fought hard to support Khovd, he is a national hero!" Lin Shuo then praised Pu Run.
"How can such a trivial matter deserve such praise from the president?" Pu Run said although he was humble, but his expression was quite complacent.
Lin Shuo smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Beile is interested in the parliament. That's good. Both Manchus and Han are citizens of China and have the right to safeguard their own rights! When the parliamentary elections in Beijing come, I will vote for Mr. Beile."
After Lin Shuo was sworn in as president, it became a matter of Congress.
When Li Yuanhong was president, he was forced by Zhang Xun to dissolve the National Assembly. At this time, Sun Yat-sen called on these congressmen to go south to Guangzhou and organize a military government to protect the law.
Navy Chief Cheng Biguang and Commander of the Navy's First Fleet Lin Baoyi led the fleet southward in the name of training in the Xiangshan waters and followed Mr. Sun to "protect the Dharma." When Cheng Biguang and Lin Baoyi were preparing to go south to protect the Dharma, Navy veteran Sa Zhenbing rushed to Shanghai to meet him.
Cheng and Lin used the reason that "soldiers do not interfere in politics" and hoped that Cheng and Lin would not go south to avoid the navy splitting and killing each other. But obviously his suggestions lacked political sensitivity and persuasion, and could not quell the hearts of speculators.
The burning desire ignited. He had a face-to-face dispute with Cheng Biguang, and the two parties broke up unhappy; he hoped to retain Lin Baoyi with "friendship between brothers", but what Lin Baoyi wanted was not some worthless friendship, but
It was a bigger political speculation. This army suddenly became very unfamiliar to Sa Zhenbing. He had no choice but to return to Fuzhou in frustration.
The naval plan that was brought to Guangzhou by Cheng Biguang and Lin Baoyi to participate in the southward journey to protect the Dharma included the cruiser flagship "Haiqi" (captain Tang Tingguang); the cruiser "Haichen" (the captain was Cheng Biguang's nephew Cheng Yaoyuan); the gunboat "Yongfeng" (captain
Acting command); destroyer "Yuzhang" (captain Wu Zhixin); transport ship "Fu'an" (captain Li Guotang); ship "Wufeng" (captain Wu Baoxiang). Previously, the "Haichen" ship had sent Mr. Zhongshan south in advance
Guangzhou, the two warships "Yongxiang" and "Chuyu" were stationed in Guangzhou last year. Cheng Biguang and Lin Baoyi led a total of 7 warships with a total of 1,300 people. They were also accompanied by heavyweights such as Wu Tingguang and Tang Shaoyi from the Republic of China.
dignitaries.
On July 24, Lin Shuo ordered the removal of Navy Commander-in-Chief Liu Guanxiong and Navy Commander-in-Chief Cheng Biguang; on July 26, Lin Baoyi was removed from the post of Commander-in-Chief of the First Fleet. However, Cheng and Lin ignored this and led the fleet to advance south.
.
On August 5, the ships of the fleet arrived in Guangzhou one after another after several days of sailing.
A week later, the cruiser "Zhaohe" from Fuzhou also ran to Guangzhou under the leadership of Captain Lin Yongmo, who could not be said to have devoted himself to protecting the law. It was just that this man spent his days drinking and squandering, using public funds for private purposes, "losing more than ten thousand yuan and unable to save money."
"To make up for it", he sent his trusted secretary to Guangzhou to find Rao Mingluan, who was related to him by marriage, hoping that Rao Mingluan would be accommodating and accept him into the guardian fleet. Rao Mingluan was originally an ambitious person who wanted to achieve "political achievements", and he immediately agreed: as long as he comes
Guangzhou could help him make up for the shortfall in public funds, so Lin Yongmo took the ship south.
The navy is divided between some people's personal friendships, selfishness and selfish interests.
Lin Shuo announced that he would abide by the "Republic of China" and reopen the first Congress. This move was not because he was afraid of the southern provinces, but because although the members of Congress were a headache, most of them were talented people. He just didn't want these people to suffer.
They all ran away with the Kuomintang.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he restores Congress or not. The warlords in the south are determined to cause rebellion, but Sun Wen has been dreaming of regaining power. About seventy people among the original members of Congress have given up the idea of going to Guangzhou.
, and turned to Beijing. After all, being a member of Congress in Beijing still has a monthly allowance of 200 oceans.
But the navy has basically been controlled by Guangzhou.
Lin Shuo was shocked and immediately ordered the dispatch of "party representatives" to all existing ships to strengthen control of the navy and begin a thorough transformation of the navy.
