The southwest was in turmoil, and changes occurred outside the customs, first in Heilongjiang, and then in Jilin.
Bi Guifang, the governor and governor of Heilongjiang, was originally a bannerman but later became a Zhili citizen. He was a diplomat and served as an attaché at the Qing embassy in Russia.
Bi Guifang's two major characteristics are that he is afraid of his wife and only obeys the throne's orders: first, he doesn't take care of everything, so he is nicknamed "Bi Guifang". Although he doesn't take care of everything, he has an official career and a prosperous official career.
Step by step, he climbed to the position of governor of Heilongjiang. When Yuan Shikai died, General Zhu Qinglan of Heilongjiang was expelled by the Assistant Military Affairs Office, and Duan Qirui took the post of governor Bi Guifang and served as military governor.
In June of 1966, when the military governors were becoming independent one after another, Xu Lanzhou, the military superintendent of Heilongjiang Province, also declared independence, not to the Central Committee, but to Governor Bi. Bi Guifang negotiated with him, and was willing to remain as governor in exchange for the provincial governor. Xu's
He also wanted to supervise the army, so he bargained for the price, and was promised to be appointed governor and division commander. But when he heard that Bi was deploying troops for self-defense, he immediately turned against him and ordered Bi to leave the province within 24 hours.
After Duan's cabinet deal with him, he didn't care about Xu's dispute and had no intention to end it, but he didn't like to cause trouble, so he called Xu to Beijing for a talk. Xu called back and said: "There are two clan members in Heilongjiang, namely Bi Guifang and Ba Ying
Well, my duty must be to exterminate bandits."
Bi Guifang issued a cold message to step down, recommending Xu to act as an agent. Duan Qirui did not accept Bi's recommendation. On July 26, 2006, he announced that Bao Guiqing was the governor of Heilongjiang, and ordered Xu to return to his original post as deputy general. Xu drove Bi Guifang away, but he could not be appointed.
Ascend to the Overseer's throne.
Bao Guiqing was from Anhui, the same hometown as Duan Qirui, and was a relative of Zhang Zuoshuang, the governor of Fengtian. From then on, Heilongjiang became a territory of the "Fengtian Kingdom".
On October 18, the Beijing government transferred Meng Enyuan, the warden of Jilin, to the post of General Chengwei, Tian Zhongyu, the commander of the Chahar capital, was appointed the warden of Jilin, and Zhang Jingyao succeeded Tian Zhongyu as the chahar capital. Meng Enyuan was born in Shucun, Tianjin, Xiaozhan.
He trained in the army and joined the army. In 1q04, he served as the commander of the Jilin Patrol Army. In the 2nd year of the Republic of China, he expelled Chen Zhaochang, the governor of Jilin, and gained military and political power in Jilin Province. When the governor's army was in trouble, he was promoted to the leader because he was the oldest, and everyone respected him as Brother Meng.
. He is similar to Bi Guan. He can write the word "tiger". The internal affairs of the supervision department are handed over to his son-in-law Lu Chengwu, and the foreign affairs are left to his nephew Gao Shibin. Gao is the chief of staff of the supervision department. Brother Meng's transfer was made with Zhang Zuoshuang.
Relatedly, it is said that Zhang Zuoshuang reported that Meng had accepted the fake position of governor of Jilin during the restoration period. In fact, Zhang Zuoshuang was already the king outside the customs at this time, and he did not want this big brother to be beside him in Jilin.
Meng Enyuan had heard some rumors a long time ago and sent his secretary Dai Yizhen to Feng Guozhang in Beijing to inquire about the truth. Feng said that there was no such thing and advised Meng not to listen to the rumors. But soon the rumors became facts and Meng was furious after receiving the order.
Send a telegram to inquire about the reasons for the cabinet transfer, and you must reply within three days, otherwise Jilin will declare its independence.
Duan Qirui is working hard to deal with the south, so he hopes that there will be no trouble in the three northeastern provinces. He plans to promote Zhang Zuoshuang to the patrol envoy of the three northeastern provinces, and let him handle the Jilin governor. He will be promoted to the commander of the 2nd Kou Division and Wu Jun will be promoted to the governor of Heilongjiang.
The Jibei War was about to break out and when Qi Rui sent troops to Hunan, the split between Feng and Duan became apparent. What made Feng Guozhang different from Li Yuanhong was that he had status in the Beiyang military system, had military power, and had the support of the Third Governor of the Yangtze River.
Feng Guozhang's first asset was Li Chun, the governor of Jiangsu. After Feng Guozhang became president, he expressed respect for the responsible cabinet system and did not interfere in Duan's administrative and decision-making decisions. Duan Qirui's attitude towards Feng Guozhang was also better than that of Li Yuanhong.
Much better. But they are two powerful factions. Feng Guozhang is quite scheming, while Duan Qirui is headstrong. Feng Guozhang certainly does not want to be a frustrated president like Li Yuanhong, but Duan Qirui will never give up any power, so the two
The disputes have also become more acute.
The first dispute was over military power, which has always been the focus of disputes between presidents and prime ministers. Not long after Feng took office, he wanted to restore the "Generalissimo Army and Navy Command Office" and Duan, of course, refused to agree.
Duan established the "Continental Office" in the State Council to replace the "Command Office" of Yuan Shikai's era.
Feng wanted to be involved in national affairs and did not want to be a president in name only, like a clay sculpture. Duan finally gave in on this aspect. Starting from October 8, 2006, an official was sent to report political affairs to the president every day.
However, the dispute between the president and the prime minister is not superficial, or can be eased by making a small concession on one matter, so the power struggle makes the rift between these two Beiyang giants wider and wider...
There is intrigue on the Beijing side, and chaos is also brewing on the Guangzhou side!
After the establishment of the Guangzhou military government, Sun Yat-sen once made Deng Yao the director of recruiting in Guangdong. On December 4, Sun Yat-sen ordered Deng Yao to stop recruiting, and all personnel sent by the bureau were withdrawn. In order to expand the army of the military government, Sun Yat-sen also sent commissioners to Guangdong Province
Each county recruits civilian troops.
Before November 12, more than 30 commissioners had been sent to various places to recruit soldiers. It was stipulated that soldiers who came to defect with guns were paid 15 yuan per month, and soldiers who came to defect without guns were paid 10 yuan per month. At this time, 5,000 yuan in recruitment fees had been spent.
.
The Guangxi clique was very jealous of this. Lu Rongxiu strongly opposed this when he met with Hu Hanmin on November 20 and asked the military government to stop recruiting troops and dismiss those who had already been recruited. On November 23, Sun Yat-sen announced the suspension of recruitment.
The order of the civilian army: "All civilian armies, except Chaomei, will stop until further orders." On November 28, Jin, the commander of the first detachment of the Chaomei Army organized by the military government to attack Chaoshan garrison Mo Qingyu rebels
Guozhi was killed by the Guangxi general Shen Hongying, and the troops were disarmed and demobilized. The Chao-Mei Army headquarters Lu Jidian military government punished Shen Hongying, but under the protection of Guangdong Governor Qu Wei, nothing happened. Sun Yat-sen was extremely angry about this.
As a result, two bombardments of the Military Governor's Office occurred.
The first bombardment of Guanyin Mountain, where the Warlord's Office is located, took place on November 15, 1917.
On that day, the purpose was to expel Chen Binggun, the governor of Guangdong.
At that time, Sun Yat-sen secretly ordered the navy's ships stationed in Henan to prepare for battle. He also ordered the land forces under the command of the Generalissimo to respond immediately when they heard the navy's artillery fire. In addition to ordering Zhu Zhixin to directly command Li Fulin's department stationed in Henan, he also ordered Luo Yiqun to secretly
Liang Hongkai contacted the Huang Mingtang Department, Wei Bangping Department, and Liang Hongkai Camp under Lin Hu's Department stationed around Guangzhou, and agreed to launch an attack on Chen Binggun's military governor's office at the same time. Liang Hongkai expressed his willingness to lead the entire battalion to attack Guangzhou after hearing the sound of cannons.
Su Shi'an Artillery Regiment of the Army, and asked Luo Yiqun to lead the artillery trainees to seize the cannons, march into the Niuwang Temple position, and cover the infantry entering the city.
After the appointment was due, Luo Yiqun took more than ten artillery cadets and other officers to the Shahe Xihuanting Hotel that night. They pretended to play mahjong for fun, preparing to act when they heard the sound of artillery, but they still didn't hear it until dawn. Luo then took the opportunity
The carriage went to the Generalissimo's Mansion to inquire about the matter. Only then did they learn that Sun Yat-sen did not board the warship last night, but went to the mainstay fort in person to direct the firing of artillery. Unexpectedly, these artillery were cast by Peng Yulin, Minister of Coastal Defense of Guangdong in the late Qing Dynasty 30 years ago, to resist the French army.
The old cannon, coupled with the damp gunpowder bag, could not catch fire. Since Sun Yat-sen was tired, he returned to the commander's mansion to rest and arranged for the relevant personnel and troops to reschedule the attack.
Five days after this incident occurred, that is, on November 20, Guangdong Governor Chen Binggun resigned and left the province.
The next day, Mo Rongxin was ordered by Lu Rongting to officially act as governor of Guangdong.
On January 3, 1918, Sun Yat-sen planned to bombard Guanyin Mountain for the second time, with the purpose of "artillery teaching" Mo Rongxin.
During the preparation period, Sun Yat-sen ordered Zhu Zhixin and others to mobilize the troops stationed in Guangzhou to respond to the navy and jointly attack the Guangxi army. He sent Xu Chongzhi and Deng Keng to urge Chen Jiongming to respond. However, most of the troops stationed in Guangzhou opposed the solution by force.
Sun Yat-sen once asked Cheng Biguang to send a navy to attack, but Cheng Biguang refused.
At the same time, some major figures in the revolutionary party and the army at that time had different opinions and believed that the generalissimo's move was too risky. For this reason, Li Liejun, Wu Jinglian, Wang Zhengting and others tried to persuade Sun Yat-sen. But Sun Yat-sen was firm and would not do anything.
In order to avoid the dissuasion of Li, Wu and others, Sun Yat-sen had to pretend to be ill.
After hearing the news, Fang Shengtao, the commander of the Dian Division, also rushed to the Commander's Mansion to remonstrate sternly. Sun Yat-sen was very angry and sternly rebuked him: "I have made up my mind. No need to borrow chopsticks. I am doing harm to the people. Now I am sacrificing my life for the people. It is my duty."
"If your master does not help me, or if he helps the enemy, it is your choice. I don't care." On January 3, Sun Yat-sen sent a letter to Mo Rongxin, asking Mo Rongxin to recognize the military government and his status as military commander.
command, and requested that the military government appoint Guangdong diplomats. That night, Sun Yat-sen led his trusted generals Huang Dawei, Ma Bolin and a small number of guards to board the Tongan ship, accompanied by the Yuzhang ship. When the two ships sailed to the mainstay fort, Sun Yat-sen commanded to fire at
Guanyin Mountain, the headquarters of the Warlord's Office, was bombarded. The two captains did not dare to agree at first, so Sun Yat-sen fired the cannon himself and urged the gunners to fire more than 50 cannons.
After the sound of the cannon, the guerrilla commander Li Anbang led a small warship to patrol the river according to the agreed plan, and fired machine guns at the Gui Army garrison offices in Changdi, such as the Jiang Defense Headquarters. Except for Li Anbang's department, the other army units under the military government were in the navy.
After the artillery was fired, no one responded as promised. What was even more strange was that the Gui army did not fight back. It turned out that Mo Rongxin had received a secret report in advance, and Mo Rongxin's chief of staff Guo Chunsen insisted on calmness and not to fight back!
He believed: "If we fight back, we will be outnumbered and have no chance of winning. If we don't fight back, people will be trapped in Zhongshan, and the other party will be even more isolated." Mo Rongxin adopted a policy of ignoring and ordered the lights to be extinguished to prevent the target from being exposed.
, it is not allowed to fire back. At the same time, call the Office of the Chief of the Navy on the Haizhu Ship, report the situation of being bombarded by naval ships to the Chief of the Navy, Cheng Biguang, and request emergency mediation.
Cheng Biguang hurriedly sent the Haichen ship to convey the order to "stop the bombardment and sail back to the provincial capital."
After the Tong'an and Yuzhang two ship uprisings, they received no response from the army, and received orders from their superiors, so they had to return to the provincial capital. Later, Cheng Biguang dismissed the two captains and punished them. Sun Yat-sen's plan to challenge Mo failed.
The situation was in chaos, and for a man in Nanning, the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived!!
