Chapter 127 126. Changes outside the customs

The Southwest is in turmoil, and changes have also taken place outside the customs, first in Heilongjiang, then in Jilin.Bi Guifang, the military governor and governor of Heilongjiang, was originally a bannerman, but later changed to Zhili nationality. He was a diplomat and once served as an attache of the Qing embassy in Russia. Bi Guifang has two major characteristics, one is that she is afraid of her wife, and only obeys the order of the emperor; the other is that she does not take care of everything, nicknamed "Bi no matter".Although he doesn't care about everything, he has official luck, his official luck is prosperous, and he climbed to the position of governor of Heilongjiang step by step.When Yuan Shikai died, General Zhu Qinglan of Heilongjiang was expelled by the Deputy Military Affairs Office, and Duan Qirui appointed Governor Bi Guifang as the military governor.

"Bi Dujun" had a lot of interesting talk in Heilongjiang. On March 14, 6, the news of the severance of diplomatic relations between China and Germany came, and the hearts of the people in Heilongjiang fluctuated. This day happened to be the birthday of "Mrs. The heads of counties and counties in the province, the directors of the gold mining bureaus, and the heads of the provincial capitals congratulated his wife on her birthday.Ba Ying'e, commander of the first brigade, and Yingshun, commander of the fourth cavalry brigade, brought large gifts into the province.The Police Department of the provincial capital ordered the merchants and people in the city to hang flags and colors in unison to celebrate the birthday. "Ms. Bi" had a banquet in the garden of the Governor's Office, and summoned prostitutes to drink wine. The famous Yong'an Li Xiangchao famous prostitutes were all summoned. A Baodiao bow cannot shoot a bird in the air."Another prostitute sang Cibajie, and sang "I really hope that mother and child will meet each other in Shandong". "Mrs. Superintendent" waved her hands and said, "You sang wrongly. I will teach you another day, and you can come and play often." After the banquet, there was a rehearsal for famous actors.Because of the obscenity of the plot, the Beijing Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered a ban on the performance of the play Dai bridal chamber, but the "Madame" said: "We must act the most exciting part of the whole play."

On this happy day, Zhang Yuhua, the magistrate of Tailai County, who was dismissed pending investigation, also came to pay his birthday respects. "Madam" asked with a smile, "Why don't you get up?" Zhang Fu couldn't get up, and said in a heavy voice: "The gentry in this county falsely accused low-ranking officials, please make the decision." Get up and support him with your hand and say: "Small matters, you don't need your wife to decide. I will show you favor on behalf of my wife. You can go back to work!" In June 6, when the warlord regiments became independent one after another, Xu Lanzhou, the military affairs supervisor in Heilongjiang, also declared independence. He was not against the central government, but against Bi Duche.Bi negotiated with him and was willing to stay as the governor in exchange for the governor.Xu also wanted to oversee the army, so he bargained for the price, and finally promised to be the governor and division commander, but when he heard that Bi had deployed troops to defend himself, he immediately turned his back and ordered Bi to leave the province within 24 hours.Duan's cabinet didn't care about the dispute between Bi and Xu, and he had no intention of showing Bi, but he didn't like to make trouble, so he called Xu to Beijing for a talk.Xu called back and said: "There are two sect members in Heilongjiang, Bi Guifang and Ba Yinger, and they must stay here to fight bandits."

Bi Guifang issued a cold telegram to go to the field, and recommended Xu's agent. The telegram said: "Xu's deputy is shrewd and courageous. He has a thorough understanding of the border. He can really help the difficult times and be a pillar of the country." Resigned from the post, picked up the slack, and retained the technique, but the resignation failed. I have to accept my lack temporarily." Duan Qirui did not accept Bi's recommendation. On July 26, 6, he announced that Bao Guiqing was the governor of Heilongjiang, and ordered Xu Still go back to the assistant office.Xu drove Bi Guifang away, but he himself could not ascend to the throne of the military governor.

Bao Guiqing is from Anhui, the same hometown as Duan Qirui, and is also the relative of Zhang Zuolin, the governor of Fengtian. Since then, Heilongjiang has become a territory of the "Kingdom of Fengtian". On October 18, the Beijing government transferred Meng Enyuan, the governor of Jilin, as General Chengwei, Tian Zhongyu, the inspector of Haldu, as the governor of Jilin, and Zhang Jingyao, who succeeded Tian Zhongyu as the governor of Chahar.Meng Enyuan, whose name is Shucun, was born in Tianjin. He joined the army in Xiaozhan. In 1904, he was appointed as the patrolling military commander of Jilin.When the warlord regiment was in trouble, he was promoted as the leader because he was the oldest, and everyone respected him as Brother Meng.He is also similar to Bi Wuwu, and he can write the word "tiger". For the affairs of the supervisory office, the internal affairs are handed over to his son-in-law Lu Chengwu (Lu Jianzhang's son), and the foreign affairs are handed over to his nephew Gao Shibin, who is the chief of staff of the supervisory office.Brother Meng's transfer was related to Zhang Zuolin. It is said that Zhang Zuolin reported that Meng had accepted the false post of governor of Jilin during the restoration period.In fact, Zhang Zuolin was already the king of the Guanwai at this time, and he didn't want Jilin to have such a big brother beside him.

Meng Enyuan heard some rumors earlier, and sent his secretary Dai Yigao to Feng Guozhang in Beijing to inquire about the truth. Feng said there was no such thing and advised Meng not to listen to the rumors.But soon the rumors became facts, and Meng was very annoyed after receiving the order, so he sent a telegram to question the reasons for the cabinet transfer, and he had to reply within three days, otherwise Jilin would declare itself independent. Meng was from Zhili, and his in-laws, Lu Jianzhang, were also from Zhili. Most of Meng's troops belonged to soldiers from Zhili. As a result, the transfer of Jilin governors involved the struggle between the Zhili and Anhui cliques.Meng sent Pei Qixun, the brigade commander of the Jilin Mixed Brigade, as the commander-in-chief of the Independence Army, and instructed various groups in Jilin to call the Beijing government to withdraw Yi Du's order.

Duan Zheng is doing his best to deal with the south, so he hopes that the three eastern provinces will not cause trouble. He intends to promote Zhang Zuolin as the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces, and let him handle the Jilin warlord, and Wu Jun, the commander of the 29th division, will be promoted to the Heilongjiang warlord. The Northeast War was about to break out, Feng Guozhang didn't care about it, and the veterans of the Beiyang faction Xu Shichang and Wang Shizhen were also willing to mediate.Feng instructed Wang Zhanyuan and the Beiyang warlords of various provinces to send a joint telegram, requesting that Jilin be maintained as it was on the pretext of being involved in national defense and foreign affairs. In addition to the three governors of the Yangtze River, some governors of the Anhui Province were invited to sign by Wang Zhanyuan.Due to Feng's face and the oppression of the governors of various provinces, Duan ignored the issue of Jilin Yidu: (1) the original order was not revoked, and (2) it was not implemented.

Although Zhang Zuolin did not fulfill Najilin's desire to enter the territory in one fell swoop, it was not without gains. On November 7, Wu Junsheng led the 29th Division from Zhengjiatun to Qiqihar suddenly, oppressing the Heilongjiang Infantry. Yingshun, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, lifted his military power and completed all control of Heilongjiang. There are many factors in the dispute between Fengtian and Jilin. First: this is the front line of the secret struggle between Zhi and Anhui; second: Zhang Zuolin is expanding his power, from one division to three divisions, and must develop outside of Fengtian; third: People in the Northeast have a more or less regional concept and disagreement with Meng Enyuan and his Zhili soldiers.
