Chapter 118 117. Duan Qirui's horse factory pledge

When Li Yuanhong's secret envoy Tan Shouheng arrived in Tianjin, he found Zhang Guogan first, and gave Li's orders to Zhang, asking Zhang to act accordingly.Zhang immediately went to see Duan. He didn't give Li's order to Duan first, but first persuaded Duan to quickly deploy to attack Zhang Xun. Duan said, "What name should I use to call?" Zhang took the opportunity to take Li's order. As soon as Duan saw the word Li Yuanhong, his face immediately sank, and he said angrily: "The situation has become like this, all because of his incompetence. Can he still be called the president today? He has dismissed me. Why do I still have to accept his orders? Can’t I ask some soldiers to electrify me to raise my troops.”

Zhang Jianduan was very excited, but he said slowly: "He is still the president today. Zhang Xun rebelled and we will call on the army to attack him. If we don't follow the right track, don't accept the president's orders and exercise legal powers, the consequences will be very serious. Seriously. Because the support of the soldiers is illegal. Relying on the support of the soldiers today, and after the chaos, everyone is proud of their achievements. Isn’t it like shooting yourself in the foot? What’s more, the support of the soldiers can only be obtained from the northern provinces and the southwestern provinces. The other side still recognizes President Li and will definitely not support it, so the conflict of sentiments must be subdued, and Li should still be recognized as the legitimate president so that your appointment is legal." Zhang Guogan's words moved the paragraph.So Duan met Li's secret envoy and accepted Li's order.

After Duan was ordered to go out of the mountain to "King Qin", he immediately deployed everything.Although Xu Shuzheng and others all advocated that Duan indulged Zhang Xun in the restoration beforehand and made troubles against him, and then took it as his own responsibility to rebuild the Republic and the Republic of China, they did not come up with a specific method. Therefore, after Zhang Xun was restored, Duan had to deal with him. Zhang Xun used troops, but he didn't have a detailed plan.His first thought was to find Zhu Jiabao, the governor of Zhili, and Yang Yide, the chief of the Tianjin Police Department, and ask them to help him fight against the rebellion. Unexpectedly, these two people thought Duan had lost power, so they ignored Duan.So Duan wanted to go to Nanjing to find Feng Guozhang to discuss the crusade against Zhang Xun. Some people also thought it was not feasible. Water comes to save the fire; secondly, Feng's attitude is still unknown. If Feng agrees with the restoration, wouldn't he fall into the trap and become Feng's political prisoner; thirdly, if the trip goes well, Feng Gong will be the first , Feng became the sole leader of the Beiyang Department.Duan was very moved when he heard this, so he stopped traveling south.

So after repeated research, Duan and his cronies and think tanks decided to use nearby materials and find troops from the vicinity of Gyeonggi, Hebei Province. As the basic force of the rebel army, it also communicated with Cao Kun, the governor of Zhili in Baoding.Neither Li Changtai nor Feng Yuxiang belonged to the Duan faction (Anhui faction) in the Beiyang army, but were relatively close to the direct army.They have a very cold relationship with Duan on weekdays, so Duan Nai used fame and fortune to shake Li and Feng.Li Changtai was most afraid of his wife, so Duan sent someone to give money to Li's wife, and persuaded his wife to order her "faithful husband". Sure enough, Li Changtai obediently obeyed; and Feng Yuxiang promised to be a teacher, and Feng also obeyed; For Cao Kun, he promised to be the future vice president. Cao Zheng was very unhappy because Zhang Xun demoted him to the governor of Zhili after the restoration, and Zhang Xun himself became the minister of Beiyang and the governor of Zhili, so he also agreed to participate in the crusade against Zhang Xun.

During the military organization, Duan encountered a little difficulty in diplomacy. It turned out that according to the "Xin Chou Treaty", troops were not allowed to garrison within 20 miles of Tianjin. Lieutenant General Aoki was sent to help Duan in military planning and lent 1 million yuan for military expenses. At the same time, the Japanese minister suggested at the meeting of the ministerial corps that during the period of China's rebellion, countries reluctantly agreed that the Chinese army had the freedom to march and transport. At 9:00 p.m. on July 2, Duan Qirui and Liang Qichao arrived at Machang, which is south of Tianjin.That night, Duan had secret talks with the generals to persuade and coordinate. At 8:00 a.m. on July 3, the headquarters of the Eighth Division held a military meeting to organize the anti-rebellion army. During the meeting, Duan Qirui was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the anti-rebel army, and he generously swore an oath.Duan Yi quickly organized this headquarters, appointed Duan Zhigui as the commander-in-chief of the West Road Rebellion Army, Liang Qichao, Tang Hualong, Xu Shuzheng, and Li Changtai as the counselors of the Rebel Army Headquarters, and Jin Yunpeng as the General Counselor.

In addition to Japan's financial support, Duan Qirui also provided support from the old Department of Communications. He once borrowed 2 million yuan in military pay from the Bank of Communications. On July 4, 6, Duan Qirui sent a telegram to attack Zhang Xun in the name of the commander-in-chief of the rebel army: "Heavenly misfortune to China, chaos and chaos, Zhang Xun embraced ambition, under the pretense of mediating the current situation, and blocked the troops from Jingguo. On July 1st, there was a strange change to overthrow the state system. Those who steal the state system, the reason why the country is established is also , It is very easy to make a decision. After the decision is made, the plan is changed again, and the harm to the country is unspeakable. In today's world where people's wisdom is developing and civil rights are prospering, it is especially important to tame billions of trillions with the majesty of one surname. Things cannot be done as they should be. The Republic of China was founded, the former Qingming observed the general trend of the world, pushed sincerity and condescension, the people cherished the old virtues, gave preferential treatment, and made it into a constitution, so that political grievances could never be avoided, and the honor in name could be preserved forever. , the ancestral temple enjoys it, and the descendants protect it. After reviewing the endings of more than 20 emperors with surnames in history, none of them Anshan can catch the former Qing Dynasty. Today, Zhang Xun and others brazenly commit big crimes based on personal rights and desires, and advocate This counter-conspiracy, wanting to follow the example of Mang and Zhuo, took the young master to control the world, and even claimed Li Yuanhong to rebuild the republic, with many harms, pleading for the imperial reunification, and issuing false edicts in order to save lives. The rebellion is so shocking at home and abroad. If it is said that it is a country, there is an autocratic monarchy, and it can still survive in the present world? It will cause a turmoil in the world, which can be affirmed. And the recognition of the Republic of China by all friendly countries has been here for five years, and it will rain today. Fanyun, although our people do not hesitate to use the country as a game, how can they play with me in a friendly country. The end of internal disputes is not to invite outsiders to interfere, and the fate of the country will be cut here. Emperor Chongling is so tall that he has absolutely no intention of benefiting the world. He protects his ministers, and he always regards being in a high position as a danger. Today's actions are based on coercion, and the world has heard about it. History and history have shown that since ancient times, there have been differences. The dying dynasty? The former Qing Dynasty was able to give preferential treatment to the end of the ancient times. Since it has never existed in the ancient times, how can we build more strict walls to make it overthrow again? At the beginning of its creation, Qirui was insensitive, and after leading the gentlemen, they contributed to its success. Since he has served the Republic of China, he cannot sit back and watch the subversion and division of the Republic of China without assistance. He has also been favored by the previous dynasty, and he cannot bear it. I heard that the former dynasty was used by the bandits to destroy itself. The friendship lies in the death. The princes are the cadres of the country, and each of them is reposted. The world is changing, and the righteous indignation should be the same. For the sake of the country, you must have a purpose There is no sincerity in death, for the sake of cleaning up the house, you should be a long-term lover with the righteousness of virtue. Looking back and working together, we will overcome the catastrophe. Although Qirui is declining, you should hold the whip to follow. Dare to spread your heart, Fu Weijian watch."

On the same day, Duan Qirui, Commander-in-Chief of the Rebellion Army, issued a "Call for Rebellion", the full text of which is as follows: "Duan Qirui, Commander-in-Chief of the Rebellion Army, would like to weep bitterly and apply for righteousness to the world, saying: Woohoo, the heavens have brought evil, and the country has changed dramatically. The traitor Zhang Xun, with his fierce and cunning capital, took advantage of the time to steal the handle, and he has his own foundation." What happened on the first day of the month overturned the fate of the country and disturbed the capital. The sky was dark and hazy, and the gods and men were angry together. Gai Ni was born in a kitchen, and his filthy behavior was stubborn. The key points, the badge of service to show resistance to the state, the burning of extrajudicial salaries, the fierceness of the army, the boundless travel, the insatiable demands, the abundance of private affairs, the evil of all people, the world has heard of it, how hard it is, how long it takes Jixian slaughter. Compared with the changes in the world, the political situation is small, and Yang Tuo mediates in the name of mediation, it is clearly a preparation for usurpation, blackmailing the president, expressly ordering him, and then leading his ugly people to directly attack the capital. From the beginning of his departure, And since he was stationed in Beijing, he has repeatedly sent telegrams to declare, still using support for the republic as a pretext. When the National Assembly was disbanded and the armies retreated, they suddenly broke their oaths and rebelled. According to the documents he published, everything was entrusted to the above. The original intention of the young master has repeatedly raised memorials. If it is because of the support of the crowd, the facts will be found to be a crime. It was twelve o'clock in the night on the day, and Zhang Xun should be against Zhang Xun. More than 20 people gathered at the halberd meeting, Xun Zhizha ordered, and forced everyone to be the same. Immediately, Kang Youwei broke into the palace and forced him to support him. Shi Zhongtang continued, kowtowed and fought hard, and the blood flowed out of the nose. The two concubines, Yu and Jin, cried bitterly for forgiveness How can the emperor of the Qing Dynasty resist such violence and be framed and threatened? It is really pitiful. In the false edict, we pinched President Li, Vice President Feng and Lu Xunshi Words are particularly frightening. My great president created the republic with his own hands, vowed to the end, and for two days, even though he was in a cage, he still wrote a handwriting on the phone. There is no need to be scrupled about recovery. As soon as my vice president saw the false decree, he immediately sent a telegram, saying that he was falsely accused, and he would not accept it if he died. From this example, the fiction of the joint performance of Lu's tour envoys will not be bothered to decide. The so-called memorials and the so-called edicts are all Zhang Xun and his gangsters who built this castle in the air with the lamps in the secret room, and openly disseminated all the official documents to deceive the world. Since the past, the gods and thieves have persuaded them to advance. Its excellent Meng children's play is not as good as it is today.

The Nixun relied on loyalty and love in order not to forget the old master.Husbands and I are obsessed with the Republic of China today, and most of them have served in the previous dynasty. Therefore, who will let the Lord's love?However, the only way to be grateful is to repay sincerity, and it is better to abide by the training of loving others with virtue.There is a saying in the past: Changxing persuades you to drink wine, how can there be a ten thousand-year emperor in the world.Looking at the history books, how many generations, how many surnames, how many generations, how many surnames, the family of the emperor, how can there be a good ending.In the former Qing Dynasty, there was a decree, the legacy of love lies in the people, and it is to repay it generously, so that those who inherit it will not return to their families and the world will be ruled by the world. Because of preferential treatment conditions, various charters are enacted, mountains and rivers are drawn, and there is no limit to eternity.We are not ministers who serve other people's surnames, and there is absolutely no suspicion of disobedience. The former Qing Dynasty can enjoy the honor forever, and it is the reward of the old ministers.Today it is said that it must be restored, but at the beginning it is called loyalty?Zhang Xun, who has served the people's salary for six years, must be loyal today, so how disloyal was he the day before yesterday?They were not loyal to the former dynasty in the past, and they are not loyal to the Republic of China today.One person in Liu prison is against three times, and the dog will not eat!Is it true that love must be restored?Anyone who loves others will not bear to put others in danger, thinking that they are not of my race, the fate of Ding's surname will no longer be prosperous, and in a world ruled by groups, it is very dangerous to use one person as the target of all!Although Zhang Xun has the power of the demon, how can he overturn history and establish a dynasty that will last forever?Since sooner or later it will be due to re-death, and its re-death, if you want to regain today's conditions, how can you get it?It's just not possible, for fear that the young master will not protect the leader, and the descendants of the Qing Dynasty will have no kind.Why did the Qing Dynasty lose to Zhang Xun, so it must be destroyed by hand and then quickly?Not only the public enemy of the Republic of China, but also the great sinner of the clean house!

Zhang Xun's false edict, saying that the title of emperor must be established, can be used as a strategy for the country's long-term stability and long-term governance.Who is Zhang Xun, he dares to talk about politics.So that the monarchy can have good politics, why did the Battle of 1911 happen?Looking at the history of all countries, the traces of changes, those who changed from the monarchy to the republic and achieved public security, have already seen it;France was restored three times and reformed three times, until the republic was established in 1871, and the country was settled, but after 80 years of turmoil, the vitality of the country was exhausted.The national body is like a tree with roots. When a tree is planted, the roots are shaken repeatedly. If it is small, it will turn yellow, and if it is large, it will wither.Therefore, anyone who destroys the state system will call for chaos and lead to death.If you don't give up to prevent chaos, you won't save the nation, but if I will use this to improve politics, who will be deceived, will I deceive the sky?

The same is true for restoration that harms the Qing Dynasty and is not conducive to the country.In the interior, it is not only the initiative to clean up the house, but the widow and concubine are rich, and they are overwhelmed with grief.What's more, it's not just a group of people who persuade them to come in, but a group of gangsters who don't conspire with each other, but are angry and gnash their teeth.Zhang Xun, the traitor, why did he come here because of what he relied on?He saw that his braided army was rampant in Xu and Yan, and it had been several years. The people of the country were tolerant and forbearing. The provinces sweep up the educated and disciplined army of the whole country, and put them under the control of their bandit army, and then set up a literary network to trap wise men and clamp the mouths of the world. The Qing emperor is now playing in his hands. In time, it will replace the ears.The crime is more serious than Dong Zhuo, and it is more serious than Zhu Wen. If this is not punished, China will be without a man!

Qirui was dismissed from power for ten months, and was lucky to be relieved. He thought of doing a little bit of subterfuge, and no longer heard about political affairs.Suddenly this changed, the crowd was full of enthusiasm, the vice president and the governors and governors dispatched telegrams to supervise and blame, they belonged to Taoism, patriotic scholars, merchants and people who wanted to govern, and military couples who loved righteousness.Qirui caressed his bow and followed the province, wandering around the room. He had served the Republic of China for a long time and could not see the fall of the Republic of China.I would like to visit Shimachang last night, and hold a meeting of officers this morning. All the members of the Sixth Division, with one voice, vowed to live together with the Republic, and not to share with the rebels.For the convenience of his master, Qirui was misrepresented as the commander-in-chief. He did not dare to resign because of his righteousness. Zhang Xun's advocacy of rebellion this time is both crazy and child's play. Bi Chang said that he had contacted all provinces and armies beforehand. May I ask my compatriots and friends, is there anyone who has premeditated conspiracy?He also said that he had obtained the consent of the diplomatic corps, but when the people in the embassy saw his frantic behavior, they came to question him.In terms of finance, the treasury has no money to save, and the barbarians only pay their salaries and give them cash.In terms of military discipline, braided soldiers run rampant in the department, and the national army lives with them, and they are tortured every day.If you count the bureaucrats, you will be old and stubborn, with a few couches in the haze, and if you ask the mastermind, you will talk sweetly, like a group of parrots.Like this, it can help great things, the world is ancient and modern, it is better to have a reason?Even a small righteous teacher should kill himself. If he can't bear it, the people of Jing will hang upside down.For those who are to be feared, the allies will be suspicious and will speak up.Qirui used his shoes and sword to rush in first, thinking that the people would get rid of these thieves.Foolish and loyal people should be forgiven. It's time for a rebellion, because the people were caught off guard, and the military and police all walks of life in the city suddenly failed to judge the cause. When the forces were unable to deal with it, and when the flames were raging, in order to maintain order in the market, they had to be cautious and forbear It's reasonable to say that it's not discussed. Our army punished the people for crimes and punished the people. Except for the traitor Zhang Xun, we didn't ask anything.All my old partners, don't use them as threats to self-doubt.If he has the same ambitions and the same hatred, it is advisable to go to the general headquarters to discuss and accept the strategy.If he intends to be rebellious and dares to resist the banner of righteousness, he will be suspended by constant punishment, and it will be difficult to shelter him.As for the virtue of the Qing Dynasty’s condescension, it has become evident over time. Today, the quarrel is caused by Zhang Ni. The Emperor Chong has never heard of it. The teacher protects you and understands the righteousness. All the preferential treatment conditions of the royal family should still be constitutional forever. Yu, with the beauty of our country's people remembering the past and rewarding the past, the beginning and the end.Once Qirui has settled the disaster, he should quickly release his military handle and return to the fields, waiting for the government to focus on construction, quickly assemble the legislature, and refresh the political phenomenon.I would like to announce this to the world, and the salty envoys will know. " The documents against rebellion were all written by Liang Qichao. Liang Qichao's article was called "the end of the pen is charming". Forbearance is not discussed", therefore, "Ask nothing but Zhang Xun", "Any old lovers of mine, don't use them as threats to doubt yourself." During the previous crusade against the Hongxian monarchy, Liang Qichao wrote articles for the Military Affairs Council, Cen Chunxuan, Lu Rongting, etc., and at the same time published articles in his own name in order to express himself.Writing an article for Duan this time, of course he was unwilling to bury himself, so he used his own name to publish a telegram against restoration.The telegram pointed out: "The person who made the first rebellion this time is not a greedy and insatiable warrior, but a scholar who speaks loudly." The warrior refers to Zhang Xun, and the scholar refers to his teacher Kang Youwei.When this telegram was published, Ma Junwu, a celebrity from Guangxi, scolded him by telegram, saying: "In the matter of the restoration, Zhang Xun and Kang Youwei are the chief culprits, Ni Sichong and Liang Qichao are especially the culprits....Since the founding of the Republic of China, the monarch (referring to Liang) has been doing things by destroying the "Convention Law" and the Congress. At the beginning, he echoed the Yuan family, The qualification of the Chief Justice is to plan for the thieves, and to sign the order to dissolve the Congress; and when the favor declines, he rebels and goes away, pretends to protect the country, and steals the names of celebrities. The republic is restored, and the king's new "law" is adopted, and Duan is the president The policy cannot be implemented, and the dream of the prime minister and the chief financial officer cannot be realized. He instigates party members to make trouble in the parliament every day, and then wants to use the issue of declaring war to carry out his conspiracy to seize power and disrupt the country. And the majority of the people oppose it. Bengbu taught people to rebel, using the excuse of destroying the "Convention Law" and dissolving the National Congress. The governor and Tang Hualong were the same masterminds. The culprit of the treason is the same as the crime. Opposing restoration is the same as the people of the country. Jun It is equivalent to being a traitor to the country and has no right to speak. The Republic will finally be revived, and the people of the country should not be bullied again and again, and they should wait for the legal judgment." On July 2, the Prime Minister Li Jingxi, who had been in office for less than ten days, fled from Beijing to Tianjin disguised as a coal worker. On July 3, Cheng Biguang and Lu Yongxiang, the envoy of the Songhu Guards, jointly sent a telegram to crusade against restoration. same day.Feng Guozhang convened a military meeting in Nanjing. As Zhang Guogan expected, he seized the opportunity to lead the restoration of the mainstream of the Republic of China and oppose restoration. Unfortunately, Nanjing is too far away from Beijing and its geographical conditions are not as good as Tianjin.His powerups are as follows: "The country takes the people as the main body. After one reform, the people will suffer once. Guozhang was not a person who advocated revolution in the former Qing Dynasty. Since the Xinhai Incident, the general trend has led to the Republic of China. Empress Xiaodingjing gave way to the former , The preferential treatment regulations are guaranteed in the future, the republic system, and the people have been stable. "Convention Law": Those who plot against the Republic of China, even if the president is not exempt from judgment. The Qing imperial family also proposed a declaration of restoration and placing heavy codes. Sincerely, the people's livelihood cannot be disturbed again, The foundation of the country cannot be shaken again. As far as the monarchy is concerned under the republic, no matter who it is, it is a revolution. Guozhang does not approve of restoration today, just as he did not advocate revolution before, so the protection of the Republic of China is also the reason for the peace of the house, the emperor and the empress. We shared this in mind. It was Zhang Xun, the governor of Anhui, who was ordered to go to Beijing to mediate the current situation. He suddenly surrounded the Qing palace with soldiers and forced the Qing emperor to restore without authorization. Zhang’s pseudo-report to persuade people to advance, to advance and retreat with hundreds of bureaucrats, is playing the same tricks. The edict of the husband’s abdication, the clause of preferential treatment, is written in the history books, and it is passed down as a good story. Now it is all destroyed, playing with the people of the country, leaving the house clean and dangerous. It is called injustice. Since the founding of the Republic of China, it took three years to get the recognition of all countries and change the national system. What is the matter? Today, the Republic of China recognized by all countries has changed into an empire that is not an international group. With one hand, the eyes and ears of the world are covered. Doubtful, appalling, unwise. In recent years, there have been many accidents in the country, natural disasters have prevailed, financial stagnation, businessmen and people have suffered, and they are living and working in peace and contentment. There are endless disasters for the people, which is called inhumanity. To protect the head of state and support the republic, every province has a declaration, even if the warlord also telegraphs that he must not try to support it. It is unbelievable to be merciless, capricious, to deceive compatriots, and to despise the laws of the country. If he is allowed to run rampant and does not condemn him, he will rely on the capital as a camp, and take the young emperor as a surprise, hold the sovereignty in his hand, and hold the constitution of heaven in his mouth, let him borrow the name and utensils, save money for his vanity, turn civilization into barbarism, and enact the law Dry grass. This is tolerable, why should the country do it? It is to use oaths to sweep away the demon atmosphere, respectfully carry out the punishment of heaven, and punish the culprits. Feel righteous indignation. Dare Ye Gan to cry, waiting for Yuyin." At the same time, he sent a telegram to Duan Qirui, listing Zhang Xun's eight major crimes and requesting a joint complaint with Duan.Feng and Duan Sui jointly published the following telegram: "The fate of the country is doomed, Zhang Xun rebelled, Guozhang and Qirui were connected by telegram one after another, and the crimes were condemned, and I wanted to listen to the dust. The crime of rebellion is too numerous to record. It has been six years since the Republic of China. One person destroys wantonly, the crime is one; putting the clean house in a dangerous place, causing the preferential treatment conditions to cease to be effective, betraying the previous dynasty, the crime two; You Chong played with the palms of the hands, the sleeves were in the middle of the will, the power exceeded recklessness and excellence, the fourth crime; the same boat firmly agreed to support the republic, the blood was not dry, the betrayal of friends committed suicide, the fifth crime; Raping and polluting people, covering the eyes and ears of the world with one hand, is the sixth crime; braided soldiers rampant in the capital, harassing Lu Yan, recruiting bandits and ruffians, giving guns, covering the four gates, trapping the capital in corruption, the seventh crime; admitting to the great powers Once the Republic of China is broken, it will cause the allies to be angry and suspicious, and to conspire to interfere. These eight crimes are the most obvious. The rest of the crimes are innumerable. Lin Quan, righteousness is difficult to stand by. Now we have organized a strong army, coordinated from the north to the south, cleared Jidian, and plowed away the thief's nest. I am in the same robe, forgive the righteous indignation, look forward to the meeting of the clouds, and quickly shake the haze. The fate of the country is honored, and thanks He Ji! Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui sent the same telegram." Because the powerful factions in Nanjing and Shanghai expressed their opposition to restoration, Zhejiang Governor Yang Shande also issued a telegram on the 3rd to oppose restoration. On this day, Yang Du, the culprit of the Hongxian Emperor, also sent a telegram to oppose the restoration.But his argument is different, only opposing the restoration of the Qing Dynasty rather than against the monarchy in general. Sun Yuyun, another culprit of the Hongxian monarchy, also sent a telegram to oppose the restoration. During the period of restoration and change, quite a few warlords neither expressed an attitude against restoration nor an attitude in favor of restoration.They try to see the direction of the wind first, and then express their attitude.For example, when Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei, and Zhao Ti, the governor of Henan, both ordered the electricity bureau not to make it public for the time being when they received the false order from Beijing, so as not to be difficult to answer when others asked him about his attitude.Zhang Zuolin's holiday "Fengtian's special status is inconvenient to express his attitude".Someone asked Tan Yankai, the governor of Hunan Province, about his attitude, and Tan only answered the word "funny". In addition, some warlords expressed their support for the restoration prematurely without much consideration: On July 2, Zhang Jingyao, the commander of the Seventh Division who was falsely appointed as the admiral of the Yangtze River Navy, went to the Qing Palace to thank the Holy Grace, and expressed his gratitude to the "current court" Prime Minister" Zhang Xun handed over a student post. The news of the restoration reached Anqing, because Anhui Governor Ni Sichong had lived in Bengbu for a long time, so the Minister of Government Affairs Qiu Yu sent a telegram to Bengbu for instructions.Ni called back and asked him to post the yellow list, announce the false edict, hang the dragon flag, change the name to "Great Qing Empire" and "Xuantong Zhengshuo", and said that he would come to Anqing to "receive the order and thank you". On July 2, the dragon flags in Anqing, Wuhu, Bengbu, and Datong were displayed, and a notice of "Ni of the Governor's Department of Anhui" appeared in Bengbu.When news of the restoration spread to Fuzhou, Li Houji, the governor of Fujian, sent a telegram to Puyi to "thank you", claiming that "Li Houji, the governor of Fujian Province, paid homage to his words", and immediately allocated 5,000 yuan to build the "Longevity Palace" that had been a market for a long time, and republished Qingshi Wanshou Monument, and a large number of dragon flags were customized by Yunzhang Company outside the city of Yichang Company on Dongjie Street. On July 3, the Japanese Consul in Fuzhou came to the Military Administration to ask Li to express his attitude towards the restoration issue. Li said enthusiastically: "It is necessary for China to adopt a monarchy system, so that the common people can live in peace from now on. Regarding this issue, the Xuzhou Conference It has already been decided, and the governors of all provinces have unanimously agreed, and there is absolutely no reason for major events.” On the second day, the Japanese consul met him at another banquet, and he scolded Zhang Xun for being ignorant of current affairs, and he swore to support the republic. On July 2, Zhu Jiabao, the governor of Zhili Province who was appointed as the Minister of Civil Affairs, wrote a "Xie En Zhe" saying: "The way of heaven will never return, and people's hearts will be peaceful after a long period of chaos."On July 6, Yang Yide, the director of the Tianjin Police Department who had already been rebellious, saw that the wind direction was wrong, and in order to make meritorious service and atone for his crime, he drove Zhu Jiabao away. Jilin governor Meng Enyuan, who was recovering from illness in Tianjin, received the false edict. In addition to expressing "thank you", he also sent deputy chief Chu Lianjia back to Changchun to announce his acceptance of "Jilin governor" on his behalf; The regent army was reassigned to Gao Fengchi, the guardian envoy, to act as the "Governor of Jilin".But on July 7, Meng sent a telegram asking Guo Zongxi to continue serving as the governor, and denounced Chu Lianjia for falsely stealing his name and bluffing. After Suiyuan brigade commander Wang Pihuan refused Jiang Yanxing to return to his post and established himself as the capital of Suiyuan, he sent a telegram to oppose the republic and asked "Marshal Zhang to call a meeting today to solve the problem of the state system."After receiving the false edict, he "led along with Yin Shen Baoheng of Suiyuan Road, Chu Sirong, the guardian envoy of Suixi, and all the civil and military personnel, kowtowed at the palace, looked up to Hongxiu, and begged for the emperor's holy lesson." Later, because the restoration failed too quickly, he attached If there is evidence of rebellion, he will be dismissed and sent Cai Chengxun to succeed him as the capital of Suiyuan. On the other hand, the restoration of Zhang Xun also gave many people who lost power a chance to make contributions, such as Liang Shiyi in the Department of Communications. Before Yuan Shikai became emperor, Liang Shiyi was really a hot figure. After Hong Xian, he lost power. After Yuan died, he was listed in the imperial system. The rest of the party went south to Hong Kong, but the transportation department still has power, and there is also a saying that the new transportation department is led by Cao Rulin.When Liang Shiyi was in Hong Kong, he happened to meet Zhang Xun's restoration. He seized this opportunity and immediately called Ye Gongchuo, asking him to fully support Duan Qirui in his fight against rebellion. This shows that Liang is good at seizing opportunities. Liang Shiyi to Duan Qirui Dianyun: "For example, Zhang Xun treasoned the country and supported restoration. Heaven and man were outraged, and the whole country was shocked. In this incident, Zhang Xun died to cover up his innocent people. It was not wrong to lure wolves into the house in Huangpi before the incident, and he asked for shelter from outsiders. Gou outsiders use It’s a rare product. Isn’t it like what happened to the King of Han in the past? Huangpi lost his country, no matter whether he has regained his freedom now, for the sake of the prestige of the Republic of China, he must not be allowed to issue orders in the Japanese legation; otherwise, China will become a Japanese protectorate. Only in accordance with the "Contract Law", He Jian temporarily took over the power of the president, and the public commanded the generals to go out to fight against the bandits nearby, and he would be able to achieve the results quickly. The person who is worried is not where the bandits go south, but the one who goes north. If Zhang bandits are defeated At that time, the deposed emperor would go out of the fortress, connect with the Mongolian king, and evenly communicate with Japan. The worries of the Republic of China will not be resolved; Get in touch!" Liang also sent a telegram to Feng Guozhang: "Zhang Thief treasoned the country and took the opportunity to restore it. Heaven and man are all angry! I heard that Huangpi was exiled and the country has no head of state. How can it be a country? Please follow the "Contract Act" to act as the president on the day, convene the Congress as soon as possible, and choose a place to form a government on the day, so that Order the world, condemn the crimes, and wipe out the ugly people! Now the foundation of the Republic of China is endless, and Wang Gong will deal with it decisively. Guess, I hope it will be clear! Zhiquan has already sent another telegram to urge him to go out to fight against the thieves." Zhang Xun's old colleague Lu Rongting, the tour envoy to Guangdong and Guangxi, also issued a telegram on July 4th. The telegram said: "According to Zhang Xun's call, advocating restoration, it is said that it has been included in the memorial for the title. Another call from Beijing, Zhang Xun forged forged edicts. According to Zhang Xun, Feng Guozhang, Lu Rongting, etc., the combination of words, please restore and other words. I was astounded to hear this. Rong Ting went to the capital a few days ago to report on his duties, and he wanted to beg for rest. For some reason, the Lord still exists, and he occasionally visits privately, but there is no other intention in it. The psychology of the people of our country tends to be republican , The Battle of 1911, called political reform, was actually a racial revolution. The righteous teachers raised their arms and returned our mountains and rivers. Last year, Xiangcheng proclaimed the emperor, and there was an uproar in the country. The court belongs to the people, and it has always been its duty to support the republic. It never dares to forget the justice of the world with its own selfish favor. Besides, it treats the Qing Dynasty preferentially, which is listed in the "Convention Law". What is more important than this? In the past dynasty, it is appropriate to protect the elders. If you think of me and others, how can you put up with fire and water. The first dynasty abdicated, the world of manicure, and the safety of the world, and righteousness is especially desirable. Rong Tingsu Zhi, based on the premise of the Republic of China, is absolute in justice Don't dare to advocate, especially in personal affairs, I can't bear to see the danger. I hope to uphold the righteousness, lay the foundation of the country together, and work together to maintain it. Don't let the people play tricks, the common people will not be interrupted, and the Qing Dynasty will be safe. .” On July 6, Feng Tongdian announced the position of acting president. Briefly: "President Li is unable to perform his duties. According to the second item of Article 5 of the "Presidential Election Law", Guozhang is acting as his deputy, and he will take office on July 7." Minister of Foreign Affairs Wu Tingfang went to Shanghai with the seal letter, and temporarily borrowed the office of the Shanghai Negotiation Office, and called the consulates in various ports, declaring that the text and telegram of the Beijing Puppet Ministry of Foreign Affairs was invalid.
