Chapter 91 Ninety, betrayal

On March 26, Yuan's old friend Tang Shaoyi sent a telegram from Shanghai to persuade him to withdraw. He called Mr. and also called the deacon, and the harsh words were worse than slapping Yuan.The original electricity is as follows: "Mr. Yuan Weiting, Beijing: It has been years since the White House was separated. I recalled that Gui Chou sent a telegram to ask the deacon to be dismissed. He was severely reprimanded and then lived in Shanghai. He never made a rash statement or made a rash suggestion on political affairs. Sit right It’s been a long time since I’ve been short of notes, what a crime! What a crime! The deacons have been disloyal to the administration of the “Contract Law” for several years.

Since the emergence of the imperial system, and even the incidents in Yunnan and Guizhou, the whole country has been in uproar, which cannot last all day.Although Yi is elegant and doesn't want to talk, but the state affairs are important, and it is difficult to ignore them.Recently, it has been read that the decree to recognize the monarchy has been revoked, but he still holds the post of president.In the meaning of the deacon, I think that I can be perfunctory.The second is that people in the world regard it as shameful and mourning, which is unprecedented in the history of China and foreign countries.Let's try to find out the truth. Is there a person in the whole country who firmly believes that the deacon will be able to fulfill the previous oath and who sincerely supports the republic?Today's change has caused my compatriots to look for wars and kill each other. Yi also firmly believes that the military strength and financial resources currently held by the deacon are temporarily superior to the uprising provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi.But you can't be convinced with your strength. There is a clear saying in ancient times.

This act of righteousness cannot be resolved by force.Those who are deacons and powerful enemies are covered in the hearts of the whole country. Once the hearts of the people are gone, nothing can stop them.Here is the only good strategy, the only way for money is to ask the deacon to retreat with perseverance.Sincerely, those who have their own stipulations in the "Yuefa" are not waiting for Zhanghuang.Or even ask the deacon to pay more attention to the dangers of the previous events, such as Gengzi's attack on the embassy, ​​and Renzi's plundering of the shopping mall.Yi Bing is crazy and stupid, Su He forgives the original, ignorant, so I dare to give the last advice, I am very lucky to accept it.Shao Yi knocked.Have. "

Tang Shaoyi and Yuan Di made friends in North Korea and worked together for decades. Since Yuan Tang was the prime minister of the cabinet and was bullied by Yuan and stepped down, they moved from Beijing to Shanghai to run industries and hide themselves in business. They never talked about politics. And in public opinion, has become a leader.His grief towards Yuan has been to the extreme since the Yuan Dynasty, and it was not until the telegram persuading Yuan to abdicate that he vented his anger. Zhang Jian, Xu Shichang and Yuan were the first to make friends. After the Yuan Dynasty, Xu Shichang and Zhang Jian were listed as the Four Friends of Songshan, but Xu and Zhang did not participate in the Hongxian Monarchy. After Yuan abolished the Monarchy, after Xu left the mountain, Xu Youhan asked Zhang for advice. , Zhang Zefu Xu Han advised Yuan to go to the wild, the letter is as follows:

"Your Excellency Ju Lao Xiangguo Senior: I have been waiting around for half a year. I am humiliated and asked clearly, and I have read more and more. When the preparations for security will happen, it will be the day when Pu was left the capital. On the verge of paying a speech, Talking about the question of the monarch. Jian Wusi, since I have been acquainted with Huan for more than 30 years, I know but don’t speak, and I can’t say enough. , Repeatedly changed, for as long as two hours. But the storage was not completed, Huan Shang was quite disobedient. Selfishly happy, he said that the invisible can be eliminated in the blink of an eye. Don't try to deceive the small group, use the imperial system as a speculation, and live in Huan It is a rare commodity, soaked in brewing, to bring about today's disaster, thinking about it is painful, what can I say? When the emperor's theory was booming, he retired cleanly, and when he saw the current situation was dangerous, he came out of the mountain and abolished the imperial system. He is the most important thing in the world. The friendship is outstanding, who doesn't admire him!

Huan Huan is old in the sea today, and has the longest relationship. There are almost few people who are like the public and the descendants.However, Gong and Huan Shang used to be the same officials for a long time, and they believed in each other deeply, so the love between Gong and Huan Shang has been especially sincere since they were inferior.Weiming asked the so-called national progress, the chronic disease is already deep, and the responsibility is to go down, to exhaust his foolishness, to pay tribute to the left and right, to go northward under the re-supervision, and to go down since he was dismissed.Dedicated to the village, not a word and world affairs.It is reported that Guizhou has risen after Yunnan and Guizhou, and this is a newspaper that has been written for two or three months. If you look at the summary, you can't help but rest too much on the small mistakes of the enthusiastic group, so Huan Shang is here!At present, Guangdong is following it, and Zhejiang is following it.

If the so-called chronic disease is already deep, there is still one last thought of allegiance to the next step. Please finish Chen Zhi: The Battle of Xinhai caused disturbances at home and abroad.Therefore, the southern and central provinces spare no effort in their support.Anyone who can consolidate the central government will sacrifice everything in favor of it.The provinces of Jiangsu and Hubei are particularly notable.For the deeds of Kuichou, Huan Shang was able to receive the merits of the rapid deeds. Although the soldiers in the north took orders, it was also the effect of the belief of the people of the whole country.

Since the success of the monarchy, Huan Shang's reputation has fallen.The imperial system was abolished, and the prestige of Huan Shang fell.Without prestige and trust, how can we stand on our own?Examining China's past history, when the state affairs were disturbed, when the emperor issued an edict to sin against himself, the elders wept, the people encouraged, and it was recorded in the history books, thinking it was a good talk.If the president is not the emperor than also.Today's decree to abolish the monarchy has been admitted as a crime, and the people's feelings are getting worse.What's more, those who hold the banner of righteousness are those who have been honored as lords. There is no such thing. If you don't believe it, you will not be powerful. .Cao Kun and Zhang Jingyao were commanded by all the strong soldiers in the north, advancing and retreating between Lu and Xu, and the northern soldiers in Hunan Province were said to be 30,000, and they were thousands of people in the Yunnan Army.After the holidays, the two Guangdongs joined forces and entered Hunan separately. Will the 30,000 Northern Army, which is not under the same command, be able to guarantee victory?If Hunan is lost, Jingxiang will be shaken, and if Jingxiang is shaken, the rear of the Central and Northern Army of Shu will be cut off.The newspaper insists that a certain province is a continuation of Zhejiang, even though it may not become a fact suddenly, and the central government has to guard against it.In terms of military strategy, the central government has become a trend of counter-offensive and defensive.In terms of politics, the central government has no ability to rule the whole country.This is incurable.

There is also a mediation in the newspapers, saying that the general will recruit people who oppose him and organize a responsible cabinet. This is not something that the subordinates dare to know. Otherwise, they will spy on Liang and Cai. , I still hope that his scorpion will bow his head and rest under the Beijing detectives, can he get it?This is another hopeless person. Force and Conciliation.None of them are easy to solve, and the six-month period for the central government to quell the chaos will be over in a blink of an eye. Outsiders will ask questions, and they will be forced to see the benefits. How should we respond?

Today, for the sake of the country, for the people, and for Huan Shang, there is only one way to save the lost faith with true remorse, and to preserve the lingering prestige with great courage.It was reported that Tang and Tang people had telegrams to persuade them to quit. I don't know if it is true?I wonder if Huan Shang can deny himself to listen?Going down to the original must end, repeat it, and think that there is no more than this.Going down is not a trade, but it is similar to it. It is for the national plan to avoid the interference of outsiders;Huan Shang's recognition of the monarchy also meant that he sacrificed everything to save the country and the people, and he was known all over the world.There are sacrifices when the emperor is established, and there are sacrifices when the emperor is eliminated. Ningfu is happy with this boring name, for the description of incomprehension. Confess to the world?

In other words, the military and police in the north cannot be controlled by Fei Huan. Once they are replaced, riots may occur.To prove that Renzi's change in March, sincerity should also be in danger.However, when Huan Shangguo resigned, he was honest and open, showing great righteousness, and made him feel grateful for his personal favor, and then cherish the country.The public and the chief of Zhiquan will maintain the left and right sides, and Anzai must not be stopped.Assuming that it is also accepted by the generation, the Chinese and foreign are still, and the dagger is not surprised, then those who oppose Huan Shang today will turn to admire in the future, and they are called the heroes of the world. .Although Yi Huan is not as capable of unifying the country today as it was in the past, there are still some soldiers who are their hearts and minds. Even those who oppose this cannot deny it.Although it is not enough to unify this part of the soldiers, it is more than enough to allow them to create chaos.If Huan Shang is still confused by the small group, he will definitely exhaust the power of this soldier, prolong the disaster of war, make the people's livelihood corrupt and exhausted, and the diplomatic crisis will be even cooler.This is beneficial to know if you go down.Ai Huan, who is going down, claims that he is not inferior to the public, so he dares to be his lover and pays tribute to the deacons with indirect allegiance to Huan.With the knowledge of Huan Shang not far away, and the loyalty of keeping integrity with the deacon, one must observe the foolishness of the district, and forgive him for nothing else. Since the third year of Xin Rengui, my beard and hair have become white.Therefore, when I went to Qiu Nanxuan, Dumen thanked the guests, and I spent my time as a scholar to study for charity. Every time I thought of the feasts of my friends in the hometown, I benefited from the old rain of my life in the country.If Huan Shang thinks deeply and speaks contemptuously, and retreats bravely from the rapids, then he will go down and approach the five mountains on the river that he manages, and the village on Huan Shang and the hundreds of springs in the public can all be a place to travel hand in hand.For the future of the world, let the handsome young man do it, and rely on it.At that time, Huan believed in what he said today, so it was not wrong.Those who belong to Huan Shang and the public are very distressed, and I can read it very much. I would rather not look at it.In addition, the military is disturbed, travel is inconvenient, and it is impossible to go to Jiazhao. Lin Ying is at a loss, and her storage is still unfinished.Forgive me!Fu Qi is the country, and it is always cherished. " After the abolition of the imperial system, Yuan Yongli, Xu, and Duan called Lu Rongting, Liang Qichao, Cai E, and Tang Jiyao on March 15, saying: "The imperial system has been abolished, and the public and other goals have been achieved. We hope that we will fight first and work together to make a better future." On April 2, Cai E sent a call back to Li, Xu, and Duan, saying: "We have not been able to forgive Xiangcheng for silently observing the situation of the country and the people's psychology. The past has changed suddenly, and the future will be full of ups and downs. The hearts of those who are lost are hard to recover, and the prestige that has been fallen is hard to recover. If Xiang Cheng originally had a compassionate heart and a plan to retire for the sake of cleansing, the people of the country will cherish the past labors, appreciate the great virtues, worship the fragrance, and there is no limit!" This reply is Quite a relief. On April 1, Yuan used the names of Li, Xu, and Duan to propose six conditions for peace to the National Defense Army: 1. The three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi cancel their independence; 2. The security of the three provinces shall be maintained by the governors of the three provinces; 3. All recruits from the three provinces will be disbanded; 4. Soldiers sent to the battlefield by the three provinces shall be withdrawn; 5. From now on, the three provinces are not allowed to fight with officers and soldiers; 6. One representative from each of the three provinces came to Beijing to discuss the aftermath. The above six conditions are not a peace negotiation at all, they are simply the conditions for the victor to the loser.Of course, this was all drawn up by Yuan himself, Li did not ask, Duan refused to express his opinion, and only got the support of Xu. In mid-April, the National Defense Army responded to Li, Xu, and Duan, and proposed six additional terms for the peace talks: 1. After Yuan abdicated, he died on loan, but he had to be expelled from abroad; 2. Thirteen people including Yang Du, the culprit of the emperor's system, thanked the world; 3. Sixty million yuan was spent on the preparation of the grand ceremony and the use of troops, and the property of Yuan and the thirteen culprits of the imperial system should be confiscated and compensated; 4. Yuan Zisun III should be deprived of public rights; 5. In accordance with the "Convention Law" of the Republic of China, the Vice President Li was elected to succeed the President; 6. Except for state servants, all civil and military officials will continue to serve as usual, but they must accept the instructions of the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Army regarding the garrison of the army. Comparing these six conditions with Yuan's six conditions, it's really an extortionate price and paying back the money on the spot, which is very different.During the Revolution of 1911, Yuan represented the Qing government to negotiate an armistice with the Wuchang Revolutionary Army. Of course, this is only a superficial article, and there is another thing in the heart. Due to the supplement of the National Defense Army, there are practical difficulties in terms of military strength, weapons, money and food. If the peace negotiation is comprehensive, the conditions must be very poor, and it must be difficult to reach an agreement. Therefore, Yuan Shikai and Xu Shichang followed the example of the 1911 year and divided the armistice into two types: national and local.For national peace talks, Feng Guozhang was asked to mediate, while for local peace talks, Sichuan generals Chen Huan and Cai E directly contacted them.Cai E and Chen Huan were very close personal friends, and they had long exchanged secret letters with secret envoys. Of course, a regional truce was easily obtained. In mid-April, Feng sent two important telegrams to Yuan, which are transcribed as follows: One: "Guozhang is upright and upright, and he can't look up at any time. Others will slander his structure, which will inevitably infiltrate him day by day, and then he will be unfamiliar with each other, and jealous because of sparseness. With meritorious deeds, there are many constraints in actions, reducing military expenditures and cutting power. The province's military strength is divided into four, and the system is different. If it is not normal, faithful and capable, Jiangsu today will be the continuation of Guangdong and Zhejiang. Gu Guozhang Fang The government sent a telegram to inform Sichuan Province that they had reached an agreement on peace. The intention was to reconcile the same, dare not to sponsor them? To transfer people with their own strength, hoping to return to disaster, it was reported to General Chen’s political central telegram, stating that after Cai E put forward the conditions, Yunnan, Guizhou was not satisfied with the first article, and Guangxi and Guangdong have not seen any reply so far, and this time they received a telegram from the court, and the first paragraph seems to be deleted. At this time of crisis, they are still unwilling to meet each other sincerely, and transferred people Concerning the content, where do we start? Although we are discussing matters according to Sichuan Province, the two sides have not been able to clear up, and we are afraid that it will take a lot of trouble. Silently observing the national psychology, there are many complaints and slanders, and it is difficult to talk about peace. Hope. Real prestige is already lost, people's hearts have been lost, and even with all the power, it is difficult to be chased by four horses. Preserving status is not easy. If you look at the time and reason, there is no way to restore it. It is better to waste your honor and urgently raise money. The strategy of self-sufficiency can be repeated after hearing about it, and there is no danger." The second is the famous telegram: "Since the Yunnan incident happened, Guozhang repeatedly wanted to make a statement, and he used his actions to pretend to be dignified, fearing to be condemned. The disaster is imminent, and it is difficult to keep silent. In recent years, the central government has adopted centralized power. Regardless of military strength and financial resources, it is under the remote control of the central government. That is to say, in terms of the army, all provinces' own troops will be reduced. Once an incident occurs, the system will be inconsistent and it will be difficult to dispatch. The real power is almost limited to one city, and cannot be extended to the outside of the province. Although the order in Jiangsu Province is said to be peaceful, when I first heard about the Zhejiang police, I was shocked... If the country is not resolved for a long time, sparks may start a prairie fire, and the country will die The responsibility of guarding the soil is also feared to be beyond our capabilities.... My president is the center of operations and controls the whole country, while Yunnan and Guizhou resist orders, Guangdong and Guangxi follow the wind, the people live in peace, the army has no fighting spirit, the proclamation has no sense, and the use of force is not easy Restoration. People’s worries are not only in one corner, but in the whole country... The national system has just been changed, and the catastrophe is suddenly heard. The reason for the chaos can be thought of.... Flatterers please, simple people can guess.... For today's plan, we can only appeal to the President to pay the utmost attention to entrusting him with remediation first. The lost prestige cannot be regained. In the future, the name can be established, and the name should be respected, and the governing power should be waived. For the provinces that have not changed, there is no need The army was dispatched to arouse suspicion. The fighting in front of the enemy has ceased, and there is no room for additional soldiers and guards... Guozhang admired He Enzhi and followed him the longest. One day, I swear to exhaust my solitary loyalty for one day, and even if things go against my wishes, then my personal friendship will never be forgotten for the rest of my life.” These two telegrams were all complaints. Although they did not explicitly oppose the monarchy, their meaning was ready to come out, and they were the first among Yuan's cronies to persuade Yuan to abdicate. Since Feng's telegram was published, the northern warlords have sent telegrams to persuade them to quit.Yuan had to reply to Feng's telegram, and he still replied in the same manner as Gu Zuo said: "I received the report. The general was worried about the overall situation, and made a solid statement. He read it over and over again, and it was inexplicable. The struggle for centralization was collected from the eastern neighbors, legal experts, and it made sense. If the implementation is not good, the benefit is less and more harm. , It is exactly as the general said. If the piano is not tuned, it will be changed, and it is not necessary to formulate a policy to protect the country. If the general has a method, I hope that he will give detailed instructions for adoption.... Now that the armistice is in progress, it is urgent to respond as soon as possible. Settle the matter and calm the matter. The general is sincere in seeking the country, and hopes to consult with the provinces to quickly find a way to mediate. As for blaming the past and making up for the future, although I am not virtuous, I dare to forget my advice!" By April 26, Feng stopped ambiguous words, and one of his telegrams to Xu Shichang, Wang Shizhen, and Duan Qirui, the "three veterans", was as follows: "The head of state ruled the Republic of China for four years. He is one of the people who is expected to govern the country. It was the monarchy that took place. In less than a few months, public opinion changed drastically. The real prestige has fallen, and the hearts of the people have lost. Power is hard to follow. Guozhang has a special affection for the head of state, and he is very upright and upright. Confidential, but keep secrets (in the early days of the imperial system), and be responsible for meritorious service, but more restrained in actions (Zhang and Ni monitor). Reduce military expenditures, cut down their power, and divide the military strength of each province into four, with different systems , in a corner of Shanghai, and directly with the central government....Recently, the government informed Sichuan Province of the terms of the agreement and reconciliation, which had the same intention as Guozhang. Telegram, stating that after Cai E put forward the conditions, Yunnan and Guizhou were not satisfied with the first article, and this indirect transfer to Chen Telegram everywhere seems to delete the first paragraph. At this time of crisis, they are still unwilling to meet each other with sincerity. People are confused by the content, where will we start?... The president's generation of heroes has already understood the general situation of the country. General Duan left and entered Beijing (expelled), but there was no clear order. General Ni transferred to Hunan Provinces and Hunan refused again....The financial embarrassment, the slackness of the army, the difficulty of handing over, the boiling of material discussions, the facts are clear and undeniable....It is better to look at the time and reason, than to be honored and self-sufficient Strategies.... If this continues to procrastinate, the provinces will be shaken, and the traffic will be cut off. Although Guozhang will not forget the old friendship, he will only support the central government to appeal, and there will be no one to respond. The president will be isolated and helpless. It's unimaginable.... Zhu Gongyi belongs to an old friend, and the recent reference is confidential, please use Guozhang's telegram to Chen Xingping." Yuan was most afraid of reading this type of telegram. He thought that this type of telegram from his cronies was more terrifying than the telegrams from Cai E and Tang Jiyao.Since Feng Ji's couple started earlier, there were more calls from the provinces to persuade them to quit than before, and those who persuaded them most strongly were those who had previously called for a quick rectification.Only the "lonely and loyal" Wang Zhanyuan didn't say a word. Therefore, Yuan Nai sent Ruan Zhongshu south to talk to Feng Guozhang. Before Ruan Zhongshu went south, there was a story worth writing.One day, Yuan brought Zhang Guogan, the government's adviser, to the mansion (Zhang Ding was in a difficult situation, and refused to be an official, so he only accepted this false title).Xiang Zhi said: "I plan to give up my seat to Song Qing (Li Yuanhong), but Song Qing doesn't understand official business. Please tell him, invite him to come to the mansion to work with me, and let him get familiar with official business, and I will Don't worry about abdicating." Zhang said: "Which one usually sends the message between the president and the vice president?" Yuan Ying said, "Yang Wu (Yang Shiqi)." Zhang pushed it away and said: "Then it's better to ask Xingcheng to pass the message. .” Zhang was from Hubei, and Yuan wanted to use him as a fellow countryman to find out Li's tone.Since Zhang refused to go, Yuan had no choice but to talk nonsense with him. Yuan said: How is the public opinion recently?Zhang A: They are discussing the issue of abdication.Yuan asked: You see, is it better to abdicate or not?Zhang A: We need to analyze it from three aspects: diplomacy, military affairs and public opinion.Yuan said: What public opinion?I don't think there is such a thing in China.I'm pretty sure (not sure) about diplomacy.The center of gravity of the three is military.Look, can Cai Songpo beat me? ... (He has a sneer on his face.) Zhang A: The center of gravity of the current situation is in the southeast rather than the southwest.Yuan Q: What, you mean Hua Fu (Feng Guozhang)? ... (The attitude is extremely unnatural.) Zhang A: Hua Fu has been the president's subordinate for decades, and no one knows him better than the president.I am an outsider and dare not make a false statement.Yuan Q: Do you think that if Hua Fu leans left, the left wins, and if he leans right, the right wins? ... (It seems to be discussing this issue calmly again.) Zhang A: I am not afraid of being left and right, but I am afraid that he has neither left nor right ear! ... (meaning that it is most difficult to deal with friends and foes as a third party.) Yuan ... (sighs slightly, speechless.) Zhang said: I would like to dedicate eight words to the president: "Retire bravely in a rapid current, and it is well deserved." "Yuan... (Still speechless, he hummed again.) When Zhang retreated, Yuan called him back and said, "Go and talk to Ju Ren." Zhang's brother Guo Rong was Xu Shichang's favorite student.When Zhang Fu arrived at Xu's house, Xu had just finished driving the car, and said to him, "Please sit down for a while. I answered the call from the mansion, and I will be right back." Not long after, Xu really came back from the mansion, and Said: "You said to him just now: 'No left, no right', he listened quite well. So he asked me to go and ask me for advice. I replied indiscriminately, 'Send someone to clear it', he Call Dou Zhan (Ruan Zhongshu) now."
