Chapter 228 The Age of Warlords Begins (April 480)
"I want to take care of it, but where do I start?"
Wang Hengyue said with a sad face: "Do you think anyone in Sichuan listens to me? I established the Sichuan military government and called it the governor. Of course, this position should be taken by you, Brother Kewu. I was presumptuous, but I established this
The Sichuan military government didn't even respond. Zhou Jun helped Chen Huan beat me, and Liu Cunhou ignored me at all, even if you Ke Wu, brother, ah, hahaha, brother said the wrong thing."
Wang Hengyue said "Haha": "Let's talk about Liu Xiang. He was awarded by Yuan Shikai. How can I, the governor of Sichuan, take this matter seriously? There are also Dai Kan and Luo Peijin. The Yunnan Army comes just when they say it.
Just fight, you are very powerful in my land in southern Sichuan! To tell you the truth, Brother Kewu, I am really fed up with this anger. If I didn't care about the overall situation, I would have thought of quitting this position. This position is very special.
You, Brother Kewu, can't convince the public if you come here!"
Xiong Kewu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
Whoever conquers Chengdu first will be the master of Chengdu. It was Wang Hengyue who said it first. Now it's better, he pushed it away completely, as if this matter had nothing to do with him from beginning to end.
I came here originally hoping to get Wang Hengyue's support and defeat other forces in one fell swoop, but I never expected that Wang Hengyue would directly close the door.
Xiong Kewu gritted his teeth and retreated to the next best thing: "Brother Shu, Kewu came here this time for no other reason. We have been fighting fiercely outside Chengdu for a long time. Our troops are really out of ammunition. I would like to ask Brother Shu to help me."
Give me some support!”
"Is there such a thing? Brother Kewu, I'm not talking about you. Why didn't you tell me earlier if you had such a difficulty?" After saying this, Wang Hengyue shouted at that time: "Yang Sen!"
"arrive!"
"Immediately transfer a box of bullets and fifty boxes of explosives from you to Brother Kewu!"
"No!" Yang Sen said simply.
"Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!" Wang Hengyue was furious: "Brother Kewu is my sworn brother. Now my sworn brother is in trouble, and you actually said no? Come here, pull him out and shoot him!" Yang Sen said
He straightened up and said: "Report to Commander Heng, even if I have to shoot him, I won't do it! I have to fight Beiyang and support the Yunnan Army. Where can I get the reserves?"
"There is some truth." Wang Shaoyue's anger subsided a lot. When he turned to Xiong Kewu, he looked apologetic: "Brother Kewu, it's not that I won't help you. It's actually, Yang Sen, I order you now to dig three feet into the ground.
Find me a few boxes of bullets!" "Yes, my guard camp still has a few boxes of bullets. I am willing to give out two boxes to support Commander-in-Chief Xiong!" "Yi, okay, this is like my subordinate." Wang Hengyue said to Xiong Ke
Wu smiled and said: "Brother Kewu, you see, I am really in trouble here, and I can only support so much. But don't worry, brother Kewu, as long as you let me get through this, I will sell iron to help Kewu."
Brother, give me a helping hand!" Xiong Kewu looked at Wang Hengyue blankly.
Wang Hengyue has changed, and he is no longer the same Captain Wang as before! Although he had already appeared before, when he saw Wang Hengyue this time, he suddenly found that he was so strange, so strange that it made people feel scared.
There has been a wall between me and him...
Xiong Kewu stood up: "Oh, no, Governor Wang, thank you for your kindness. Since you are in trouble, Xiong Kewu will no longer embarrass you. Take your leave!"
"Come here, send Commander Xiong off!" Wang Hengyue looked at Xiong Kewu's back, and the smile on his face disappeared.
This is where my friendship with Xiong Kewu ended.
Even if I "save Xiong Kewu three times" fall out with him, I have nothing to blame others for.
"Heng Shuai, send Xiong Kewu away!"
"Oh, I got it." Wang Hengyue responded: "Yang Sen, get ready." "Yes!"
Wang Hengyue's "sitting aside" made Xiong Kewu completely lose hope in Wang Hengyue.
Chengdu is still in chaos. Today you help me, tomorrow I will beat you. Everyone is staring at Chengdu, and everyone has forgotten that there is a hungry tiger behind them.
Just as Sichuan was fighting, the situation across the country also began to undergo major changes.
In late May, the Beiyang System became more and more disorganized, and Yuan Shikai's regime was reaching its end. The Guangxi National Guard Army put increasing pressure on Hunan, and the anti-Yuan militia in Hunan became more and more powerful. On May 24, the Xiangxi garrison envoy, led by the Zhenhuang Army,
Tian Yingzhao declared independence. These new situations forced Hunan Jingwu General Tang Yaming to declare independence on May 29.
In the north, Shaanxi is the only independent province in the North China, but it was a farce during the anti-Yuan Movement. Independence became a means for local warlords to fight for power. On May 9, Shaanxi Governor Chen Shufan declared independence in Sanyuan, calling himself
Commander-in-Chief of the Shaanxi National Protective Army. On May 15, Chen Shufan led his troops into Xi'an. On May 18, Lu Jianzhang, in the name of General Weiwei, and Chen Shufan, in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Shaanxi National Protective Army, declared independence.
In Shandong, Ju Zheng, one of the leaders of the Kuomintang, and Wu Dazhou organized armed forces in Weixian, Gaomi, and Zhoucun areas of Shandong. Ju Zheng was named the Northeast Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and soon Wu Dazhou was renamed the Shandong National Defense Army. Shandong
The anti-Yuan forces greatly expanded. In early May, the people's army advanced to the vicinity of Jinan and urged Shandong General Jin Yunpeng to declare independence. On May 29, Yuan summoned Xin to Beijing to discuss the issue of abdication.
He was removed from the post of supervising Shandong's military affairs, and Zhang Huaizhi, commander of the Fifth Division, was appointed as his successor. As a result, Shandong's independence was aborted.
Each province became independent one after another, and Yuan Shikai's history came to an end!
There is no question that he is a tycoon and a political expert, but his fatal flaw is his unwillingness to treat others with sincerity and his unwillingness to trust others. He was born with nothing to rely on, and his rise is of course due to his intelligence, so
He rose from a pillar in the temple to the President of the Republic of China, from the President of the Republic of China to the Emperor Hongxian, and then from the shy Emperor Hongxian to the President of the Republic of China. He handled matters personally and concentrated power. He knew clearly that the emperor could not do anything but was willing to do it.
The reason for the emperor was that he didn't like the fact that the president was subject to Congress and the responsible cabinet had reduced the president's power, thinking that the emperor could avoid these difficulties.
On June 2, Yuan Shikai ordered Zhang Yiying to send a telegram to his old friend Xu Shichang. At this time, Xu Shichang had retired to Huixian County, Henan Province. Yuan Shikai asked him to come to Beijing immediately to see him for the last time. Xu Shichang died on August 5
Arriving in Beijing on the same day, he immediately rushed to the Presidential Palace. Yuan Shikai was lying on his back on the hospital bed, feeling weak and panting heavily. He said with a trembling voice: "Juren, you are here well, you are here well, I have missed the mark."
Xu Shichang and Yuan Shikai have been friends for the longest time. They have been good friends for forty years. They get along very well regardless of friendship or friendship. At this time, seeing Yuan Shikai's dying appearance, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He quietly turned his back and tried.
Tears, and then said softly: "President, don't worry, take good care of yourself and you will be fine." But Yuan Shikai shook his head and closed his eyes, with a big tear shed from the corner of his eye. It turned out that Yuan Shikai's illness had worsened the day before, and the Presidential Palace
The medical officer of the French Embassy, Boussier, was urgently asked to examine the condition. The result of the examination was that he was suffering from uremia. In addition, he had neurasthenia, liver-fire congestion, and the disease had reached the point of blindness. It was concluded that it was difficult to save him.
On the 5th, Yuan Shikai's spirit became worse and worse. Xiao Xier gave Yuan Shikai a booster shot, and Yuan Shikai regained consciousness. It happened that Xu Shichang came, but soon Yuan Shikai fell into coma again.
When Yuan Shikai was dying, he uttered the four words "He harmed me" intermittently. This seemed to be his last words. Who harmed him? His son? Or his friends or subordinates?
At 3 o'clock in the morning on June 6, 5th year of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai finally died. This hero of troubled times, an important figure in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, finally said goodbye to the world forever.
One day, an elegiac couplet written by him was found in the drawer of his desk: "For Japan to lose its great enemy: Look at China and rebuild the republic."
Yang Wan and Yuan Lian, one of the Six Gentlemen of Hongxian, said: "The Republic of China misunderstood the Republic, but the Republic did not misunderstand the Republic of China. It will be a prison for a thousand years to return to peace: the Ming Gong has betrayed the emperor's constitution, the emperor's constitution has not failed the Ming Gong, and these words are repeated three times under the nine springs."
Yuan Shikai has gone after all. This strong man, this figure with mixed reputations and reputations in Chinese history is gone.
One hero fell, and countless heroes stood up one after another.
〖China〗The most colorful era in Chinese history is coming: the Junlang Era!
This will be an era when heroes emerge in large numbers, an era when everyone can be president, and an era full of opportunities and challenges!
Everyone is a warlord, everyone is a "marshal" and everyone can dominate the world!
But the emergence of a character will inevitably change the direction of this era: Wang Hengyue!
When the governor of the Sichuan military government heard the news of Yuan Shikai's death, he remained silent for a long time.
When Yuan Shikai called him to Beijing, he had the impulse to go.
It is actually a good thing to meet Yuan Shikai, a big figure in Chinese history.
Unfortunately, this wish can no longer be fulfilled.
Wang Hengyue also knew that Yuan Shikai also wanted to see him. Unfortunately, these two people would never be able to meet together in this life. If there was another life, he would really like to have a good conversation with Yuan Shikai.
Who is after Yuan Shikai? At least no one can answer it now.
When Yang Sen walked in, he saw Heng Shuai with his eyes closed. He didn't dare to disturb him and could only stand aside quietly. After a while, Wang Hengyue opened his eyes: "What's the matter?" "The man in Chengdu beat him almost three times.
It’s been a month, everyone is exhausted, and the ammunition is almost used up. Now I think everyone has the intention to stop.” “Oh, that’s almost it?” “Yes, it’s almost done.”
Wang Hengyue closed his eyes again and seemed to have fallen asleep. He lay there for a long time, then suddenly stood up, glanced at the Sichuan map hanging on the wall, and then said slowly: "End the chaos.
