Chapter 186 185. Liang Shiyi Short Life Pavilion

There was a plan for the fall of the former Department of Communications, the purpose of which was to win out their leader Liang Shiyi to form a cabinet. Since Liang Shiyi was wanted as the culprit of Hong Xian in the 5th year of the Republic of China, he has been retreating behind the scenes in Beijing's political arena. There has been no way around finances, and he also relied on this to return to politics. In September 2010, he returned to Guangdong from the north and lived in Hong Kong. Because of his diplomatic and financial potential, he had contacts with political figures in the Northern and Southern Army.Xu Shichang witnessed the deterioration of the financial situation to the extreme, and pinned his hopes on Liang God of Wealth, thinking that Liang might be brought back to life. Of course, members of the old transportation department refused to give up this golden opportunity and urged Liang to go north.

So Liang Shiyi left Hong Kong on November 10, arrived in Shanghai on the 12th, and stopped by Hangzhou to visit Tonglu, Qililong and other places of interest, making a wild crane in the clouds, taking a leisurely attitude. Back to Beijing along Jinpu Road at the end of November. Liang Shiyi came to Beijing at the best time, because Jin's cabinet was already on the verge of collapse, so Xu Shichang approached him about forming a cabinet. On December 24, 2010, Xu Shichang ordered Liang Shiyi to be specially appointed as Prime Minister, which of course was agreed by Zhicao and Fengzhang.The Liang Court list is as follows:

Gan Huiqing Minister of the Interior Gao Lingxuan Zhang Arc Bao Guiqing Li Dingxin Attorney General Wang Chonghui Huang Yanpei Qi Yaoshan Ye Gongchuo In Liang Pavilion, Bao Guiqing and Qi Yaoshan belonged to the Feng family, Gao Lingyu belonged to the Zhi family, Yan Huiqing and Wang Chonghui belonged to the Anglo-American school and were close to the Zhi family, Zhang Hu belonged to the pro-Japanese school’s new traffic school, Ye Gongchuo belonged to the old traffic school, Li Dingxin and Huang Yanpei did not belongs.This is a mixed cabinet that directly entrusts the two departments and the old transportation department, while the old and new factions of the transportation department are separated and merged.

The emergence of the Liang cabinet was rumored at the time that Ye Gongchuo defeated Zhang Zhitan, and Liang Shiyi defeated Jin Yunpeng. But Liang Shiyi's luck was not very good, because Cao Kun, especially Wu Peifu, who was directly related to Liang Shiyi, opposed Liang Shiyi's formation of a cabinet.When Zhang Zuolin recommended Liang Shiyi to form a cabinet, he tried his best to bring in Cao Kun as one of the recommenders.However, Wu Peifu sent telegrams to Cao again and again, advising him to leave the place of right and wrong in Beijing, and not to be taken advantage of by others because of his feelings.

Wu Peifu was worried that Liang would come to power when he was in Liangbei, so he called Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, and briefly said: "Earlier, Liang Shiyi went to Guangdong to approach Chen Jiongming, and also had a meeting with Sun Wen. This time, he planned to form a cabinet, combining Guangdong, Anhui, and Anhui, monopolizing the railway, merging the central government, and endangering the country. It is extremely embarrassing. No. I am afraid that Feng Zhang will not notice and will be deeply fooled by him. The day when the Liang Pavilion is realized will be the time when the overall situation will turmoil. Yesterday, the Cao envoy said that Liang Ru formed a cabinet. It is advisable to replace Yan Jiu, special news."

When Liang Pavilion was established, Liang Qichao was also in the north, and he wrote to his family to congratulate him. The two Guangdong talents had a close personal relationship.After Liang Shiyi received Liang Qichao's congratulatory letter, he wrote a reply in his own hand, which said: "I recently learned that Tai Cong is in Beijing. I plan to receive a great teaching in two or three days. I am very pleased with the book! This time I jumped into the fire pit, and all those who knew it felt painful, let alone those who suffered? External and internal troubles forced me to move forward. Time waits for no one, to support this dangerous situation, the sage knows the difficulty, and it is even more insignificant to deceive the incompetent. I have been in the office for many years, and there is a gap after getting started. Xinxi is still in the age of reviewing papers. Good friend, to enlighten the ignorant, so as not to fall into the wrong direction. My brother can go to Beijing on the second or third day of the new calendar, and talk freely for three hours. Two or three days to show the date, so as to free up time, so as not to hinder each other, it is better. When people are in danger, they always call out to their old partners, and they should not hesitate to help if they have been friends for thirty years."

Liang Shiyi's cabinet was good at diplomacy and financially conceited, but Wu Peifu attacked him with diplomatic (Jiaoji Road) issues and oppressed him with financial (military pay) issues.Of course, the actual reason is that Liang Ge is supported by Feng Zhang, and there is a distance between him and his direct lineage, especially Wu Peifu.So Wu caught the topic of diplomacy and made a big fuss. On January 5, 2011, Wu Peifu published a song telegram, which said: "...Since the Lu case occurred, it has been going on for several years, and after several times, fortunately, our people have called for rescue, and the outsiders have not been killed. The Jiaoji Railway is the most important key to the Lu case. It has been a month since the opening of the Washington meeting. On behalf of the altar, I will strive .In response to the request of the people, to raise funds for redemption, and to issue bonds for redemption in 12 years, but after three years, a method of redemption will be found. External training, bonds are allowed to be purchased by Chinese, and avoided The form of the loan can avoid all kinds of constraints. If the road can be redeemed, that is, to sever ties with outsiders, it is not an emergency measure. It is about to be decided, and Liang Shiyi speculates and suddenly steals the pavilion. The Japanese representative suddenly changed his attitude. After reviewing the previous discussion, Tokyo ordered the Japanese envoys stationed in China to ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a loan of Japanese funds, and Japan recommended them. The external party informed the representative of the China Council, and replied that they would reply after contacting Britain and the United States. At the critical moment, Liang Shiyi, disregarding interests, disregarding public opinion, and without going through the outside world, responded directly to the interview. He even allowed the Japanese envoy to ask for Japanese money to redeem the road, and ordered the representatives stationed in the United States to obey. The road is still operated by the Japanese, and even more so Yizhi used tens of millions of debts to do what the previous cabinets could not bear to do. Now Liang Shiyi is brazenly doing it. He used the people's appeals for many years in the past and argued with the representatives. It is considered a trifling matter and sacrifices the country. , Severing the right of way, how can you be more generous to outsiders! How can you hate the motherland!..."

After Liang Shiyi received Wu's song telegram, he sent a backdated microtelegram on January 7 in the name of the State Council in conjunction with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announcing the status of the negotiations and seeking the consent of the whole country. The text said: "The cabinet was established. As for the meeting in Washington, once the previous policy was followed, it was notified to other countries. What needs to be resolved urgently is the Jiaoji Railway issue in the Lu case. I was in charge of the previous consultations in the United States. Redemption of funds and self-management. As far as fund-raising methods, whether issuing bonds or issuing treasury bills, regardless of raising funds at home and abroad, it is essential to clarify the cut-off time limit and declare the nature of the road’s self-management, and it is still planned to do it first. The merchants and people in this country borrow money in order to save some interest. Next, the dispute between the two parties about the method of employing the funds has not yet been resolved. On the 27th of last month, the Japanese envoy went to the outside and said that Japan’s concessions have been extreme. If China insists on the immediate redemption proposal , only to stop negotiations and other words. I still advocate the Redemption Road to manage by myself, and the original purpose has not changed. On the 30th, my three representatives called and said: "For the payment of the Jiaoji Road Redemption, two methods are proposed: (1) The Chinese pay in cash Deposit it in the bank of a third country. After the establishment of the agreement, pay two-fifths at the end of the third month, one-fifth at the end of the sixth month, and two-fifths at the end of the ninth month. According to this method, China does not need to hire Japanese technicians. But the Japanese representative Insist on sending all the money to a third-country bank before returning the road to the railway personnel after valuation. (2) China issues treasury bills according to the amount payable, and collects and redeems them in 24 installments, with each six-month installment , but three years later, China will be able to redeem it once, but it must be notified six months in advance. The first installment will be paid in cash after the agreement becomes effective, and the rest of the payment will be offset by the assets and profits of the road, and will be given as appropriate For interest, the Chinese government selects Japanese experienced technicians used in the Chinese railways as the engineer of this road. According to this method, Japan insists on using Japan as the deputy train manager and deputy accountant. The price of the road is about 30 million days The government has no prejudices about the method to be used to return the gold. If it can try to raise enough deposits and handle it according to the first method, then all kudzu vines can be cut off, which is definitely the best policy. The representative said by telegram: "Representative of the National People's Congress, the representative of Shandong also advocates paying in installments every year, so we might as well make concessions." .In addition to paying cash, regardless of treasury bonds and bonds, we still have the purpose of redemption and self-management, in order to gain benefits and prevent losses. Now that the meeting in Washington is imminent, it is difficult to delay it for a long time. Except for the three representatives who insisted on the original case In addition to safeguarding the sovereignty, I still hope to make effective plans for maintenance, take into account rights and interests, expressly express Zhou Xing, and use it as a backing to do anything in the overall situation. I also hope that Lifu will be restored."

On January 7, Liang issued another telegram, arguing that he did not negotiate foreign affairs with the Japanese Minister to China Kopan. The article said: "Wei Ri electrifies the plan to reach Taiwan. Sincerely, the Jiaoji Road case is of great importance, the matter is urgent, and there is a danger of passing away. It is an undecided matter to announce the facts to the people of the country, to clarify the content, and to seek good results. In the bureau, there is no prejudice in the heart, and the enthusiasm is small, and I understand Meng Jianliang. It is the Wu patrol envoy who separated the rumors and caused misunderstandings, and there was a song of the day. Since Shi Yi has been in charge of the matter, he has consulted his colleagues on this issue. In repeated meetings, most of them hold the idea of ​​raising funds to redeem for self-management. The former Ministry of Foreign Affairs' instruction that the so-called indifference to the borrowing situation has profound meaning. For self-management, redemption must be done first, and redemption must be raised first. If it is raised in the country And immediately you can get a huge sum of 30 million Japanese gold, and there will be no problem with everything. Otherwise, no matter whether it is a bond or a treasury bill, no matter how long or short the term is, it does not matter whether it is a whole lot or zero. Also. Gai has no cash and only talks about the way of redemption. What will be used for redemption? It has to be the way of treasury bills and bonds. The idea of ​​self-management is that the best strategy is to rely on the people of the country to raise money themselves. Otherwise, domestic and foreign joint debt-raising can also take the lesser of the two evils. If it is not limited to Japan, it is not limited to Japan. As for the way of negotiation, it has its own routine. Minister Pan's congratulations on his appointment was originally a matter of etiquette, not negotiation. The meeting in Washington had a good idea, and of course the outside and the three representatives were still in charge, and there was no special instruction. All of them are contrary to the facts. In Wu, the patriotism and enthusiasm were fierce, and he was occasionally confused by rumors, and suddenly became suspicious. Scholars were ashamed of their sincerity, feared that the opportunity would be lost, and sincerely feared rumors. Unceasingly, as far as the influence is concerned, all previous achievements will be abandoned. For several months, the people of our country have been running and shouting, and all representatives have responded painstakingly, and paid for it. It is unfortunate that it is not just a scholar! , but my patriotic compatriots really want to benefit from it!"

On the same day, Liang Shiyi issued a declaration to the outside world, stating that the new cabinet fully agreed with the declaration made by the Chinese delegation in China on the Shandong issue.Wen said: "The relations between our country and all the countries have been very harmonious. Since the founding of the Republic of China, the state system has changed, and the knowledge and knowledge of the people have also improved with the times. Therefore, we want to instill new cultures in order to enrich the inherent ones. For the economy, knowledge is expected to flow to tap the untapped source of wealth. This is actually a ladder to approach the East and the West, and it is also enough to connect the friendship to the infinite. As for the meeting in Washington, the main purpose is to maintain the Pacific Ocean. And the permanent peace of the Far East. The Republic of China is located on the Pacific Ocean, and the relationship is particularly important. Its desire for the conference is to restore the inherent sovereignty of an independent country, enjoy an equal and just international status, cooperate with the big powers in friendship and cooperation, and dissolve international differences. Disagreement, and to prevent future disputes. China hopes that all important issues related to existing relations should be resolved in the Huahui. Regarding the status of Shandong Province in China, the new cabinet fully agrees with the declaration of the Chinese delegation in the Huahui. All kinds of unsolved cases, those that have had a negative impact on diplomatic relations, should be resolved in a fair way. As for the domestic situation in China, it is still in a transitional period, and it is time to sort it out as soon as possible in order to adapt to the new trend. With the genius of the Chinese people, benefit Four thousand years of experience proves that the past is enough to overcome all difficulties. If the Chinese government and people do not reduce their capabilities due to concerns about foreign aggression, and if they do not break away from the current sovereignty restrictions, it will not be difficult for China to build a strong and unified country , for the benefit of the country and the world. The new cabinet knows that the situation is difficult, but it is not impossible to win."

After Liang Shiyi’s telegram to defend and slander was published, on January 8, Wu Peifu sent Geng’s telegram again to blame Liang. The article said: "Liang Shiyi betrayed the country and flattered foreigners, and ruined the Jiaoji Railway. He sent a telegram on Geri to expose his crimes. It was Liang who was guilty of a thief and feared to be condemned by the whole country. There was a microgram with the date back on Yuri, pretending to send it before the Geri was not connected. , for a foothold in advance, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, so as not to attack, the design is good and cunning. However, if you want to cover up, it is tantamount to offering yourself. The State Council, doing this ghostly trick, wants to cover the eyes and ears of the world with one hand. Those who have a little common sense in reading telegrams will see their lungs and livers in the morning. He made it clear that the first sentence: "The cabinet is established, and it follows the previous policy." The crime of treason is also added to the previous cabinet. If the previous cabinet borrowed money from Japan to redeem the railway, and used the actions of the Japanese, why did the previous cabinet discuss it? Why did not see the current cabinet’s statement? It is said that the method of raising funds or bonds, or treasury Why do you say that you don’t need to raise funds at home and abroad? If you take it back and manage it yourself, why do you have to use a Japanese as the chief accountant? Since the government has no prejudices, why did you secretly allow the Japanese envoy’s request? And why Liang’s interview without going through the outside Allow? Since the group of banks from various countries has indicated that they cannot borrow independently, why do they borrow Japanese money alone? It is obvious that the Huahui will be closed soon, and they want to use lightning-fast means to cover their ears. Liang Shiyi is sincere and willing to work for outsiders! According to the legend: "It is better to have a thief than a collector." Liang Shiyi has both, and there are many discerning people in the whole country. There is no shortage of rich and wealthy families in the whole country, and I hope to gather huge funds, preserve lifelines, eradicate traitors and save the country, and share lessons from all over the world." On January 10, Wu Peifu sent out steam electricity three times. His article said: "On Geng's day, a telegram was sent to invite inspection. According to Yu Rizhang Jiang Menglin, a national representative at the Washington State Council, said: "The government representatives are very persistent in the Lu case and the 21 Articles. At the same time, Beijing conceals the special envoy and starts direct negotiations. Today Chenliang Shiyi sent a telegram to the special envoy to accept Japan's request for loan redemption and co-management with China and Japan, so that the Beijing government can use this to obtain more Japanese loans. The exhaustion of Beijing's negotiations has been widely published in newspapers of various countries, and Japan has publicly stated that Beijing has accepted its request. Our painstaking efforts and efforts are all in vain. If Beijing behaves like this, we will have no room to fight for sovereignty in the future' and so on. The traitorous behavior of Liang Shiyi is an iron case. Shiyu and Jiang's calls from Washington prove that Liang Zhizhuan sent him Electricity, openly admitting that the Japanese fund and the railway are both in charge, but Liang Shiyi backdated the date of the micro-electricity, and there is no room for comment! Seeing that he was on the stage just ten days ago, he cited Cao Rulin, who had achieved achievements in traitorous countries, as the special envoy for persuading the industry. Lu Zongyu is the municipal supervisor, pulls out the grass, and carries ghosts in a car, to supplement his treachery and fascination. My Chinese gods have a beautiful stomach, beautiful rivers and mountains, and they tolerate such beasts. If they continue to steal and sell, they would rather call someone! The heart is not dead, that is the land If it is not dead, justice still exists, that is, the axiom is still there, and the chance of survival is tied to one shot. Anyone who eats hair and tramples on the soil should swear to live and die with the motherland, and stand with the original and evil. If anyone dares to use Liang Shiyi to borrow Japanese money And if it is true to jointly manage the railway, then he is willing to be the mastermind of Liang, and he is a public enemy of the whole country. All our people should abandon him together. Pray for the people and dare to follow the pioneers." This time, Wu Peifu’s resignation was because he accused Liang Shiyi of meeting the Japanese Minister to China, Kobata, after taking office, and agreed to discuss the issue of Jiaoji Road with Japan directly in Beijing, ignoring the Washington meeting.Arousing the anger of all walks of life across the country, Wu Nai seized this big issue to attack Liang. But Liang Shiyi denied that there was such a thing, and repeatedly defended and denied it.However, the representative of Japan participating in the Washington Conference told the Chinese representative that there was indeed such a thing.Chinese representatives Shi Zhaoji, Gu Weijun, and Wang Chonghui sent telegrams to the State Council and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing from Washington on January 10, asking whether the government had negotiated directly with the Japanese envoy. The telegram said: "The news from the Japanese delegation here is that the Beijing government has already discussed with Japan about the Shandong Railway. Soon, the Chinese representative in Washington will give definite instructions. The overseas Chinese in the United States are quite disturbed when they hear this news. Whether there is such a thing or not , Beg for a telegram so that it can be corrected! Ji, Jun, and Hui will be on the tenth day. The meeting will be on the fifty-second day." On the 12th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State Council replied to the three representatives by telegram, saying: "On the 10th, it was reported on the 52nd telegram that the State Council decided on the 27th of last month that the Lu case would be handled by the three representatives in the United States and Beijing. There is no such fact. There are clues in the dissemination, but it has no influence on itself. The information passed by the opponent is obviously a kind of effect. Please correct it quickly and tell the overseas Chinese not to believe in misinformation! Calling again can prove that the government has not done it before. There is no order for the Three Representatives to change the original discussion, in addition to the fact that the country has already stated it, I pray that it will be announced together!" On the same day, the Beijing State Council announced via telegram that there was no direct negotiation or Japanese loan on Jiaoji Road. The article said: "Regarding the Jiaoji Railway incident, there have been rumors and misunderstandings from far and near, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings. The facts are succinctly announced so that the people of the country can know the truth. (1) The government has always held the purpose of redeeming the Jiaoji Railway case. (2) ) The case was always notified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the representatives of our country, and it was settled at the meeting in Washington, and there was absolutely no direct negotiation in Beijing. (3) My representative called and advocated raising cash or issuing treasury bills to redeem the matter, which did not change the original purpose. (4) Regarding the Jiaoji Road case, the State Council did not directly call the Three Representatives. (5) The government had no intention of borrowing money from Japan. (6) When Minister Xiaoban came to congratulate him on his appointment on the 28th, he talked about Jiaoji Regarding the matter, the Prime Minister only replied that according to the policy of our country, it should be resolved by representatives at a meeting in Washington D.C. when raising funds to redeem themselves. He also stated that this is a personal chat. If a formal reply is made, it should be through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Since then, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not responded I have contacted Minister Xiaoban about this matter. I hope to convey the above six paragraphs for everyone to know." Whether Liang Shiyi discussed with Japanese Minister Xiao Banan about borrowing Japanese money to redeem the road became the crux of this cabinet tide.However, Liang denied it in the official telegram of the State Council, which shows the subtlety of this matter. Regardless of whether Liang had this matter, it is an indisputable fact that Liang Ge is suspected of being pro-Japanese. Liang Shiyi was also considered an amazing character in the Beiyang era, but he was so vulnerable after his comeback. Liang Shiyi even published a telegram in his own name on January 10, explaining the whole story again, the telegram said: "The Jiaoji Road case is the most important issue in our country today, and it is also one of the most attention-grabbing matters of the people. The scholars are not sensitive, and they are in charge of state affairs. Since ten days ago, there have been many rumors and misunderstandings. They are ashamed of their integrity and fear of falling away. Now they dare to have the most sincere words to announce to the masses: (1) Shi Yixiang did not advocate and allow Who borrowed Japanese money to redeem the Jiaoji Railway. (2) Shi Yi and the State Council did not send any telegrams to the Three Representatives over the Jiaoji Road incident. (3) Shi Yi did not advocate and allow anyone to report the Lu case Moved to Beijing for negotiation. (4) The Jiaoji Road issue was still discussed in Washington by the three representatives according to the original proposal, and there was no direct negotiation in Beijing. For credit reference, you can call the three representatives to ask whether they have ever received a call from the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or someone from Liang, asking them to borrow Japanese money and negotiate in Beijing instead. If so, how is Shi Yi responsible? Resignation! Otherwise, using the impulse of emotion for others to use, sacrificing for facts, affecting the political tide, and jeopardizing the overall situation, will only be laughed at by those who hate me, and sad by those who love me; There must be someone responsible for wronging the country, and I am afraid that it is not a scholar. It is only a few days before the closing of the Huahui, and it is the final period of struggle. If it is not for internal and external unity, it will be impossible to catch up. Repeatedly received the reports of the three representatives. The Three Representatives and the United Kingdom and the United States have stated the falsehood of the rumors. Knowing that I have not changed the previous discussion and the negotiations on the relocation, the Anglo-American mediators have engaged in serious matters. However, the matter is urgent and there is no real backing. The Three Representatives will not Not to mention meritorious deeds, but here are my personal hopes for this matter, as follows: (1) Adhere to the method of immediate redemption, and the government and the people will immediately raise cash for delivery. (2) Follow the above method , Jiaoji Road should be completely taken back, without any additional conditions, and there is no need to discuss its employment and other items. This is the simplest and most straightforward method. The hope of Xi Chengqiu means that our 40 million people will work together on this day. Although Yi is mediocre, I vow to break the boat, destroy the family to relieve the difficulties, and strive to help each other! With the best of cotton, I will do my best to raise 3 million domestic funds. Yuan, I thought it was the initiative. People want to be good, no one is as good as me! It is only the principle of diplomatic disclosure, which is violated by soliciting public opinion. Shi Yi will definitely rely on public opinion for this case. The previous criticisms from all parties, Not only is there no tolerance, but it should be used as a debate. We only hope that the whole country will be united to overcome this difficulty, so as not to lose the hope of our allies, and use the foundation of political reform to improve our international status and domestic situation. There is still a day for improvement and recovery. Shi Yi is using this telegram as a way to solicit the public opinion of the whole country, and it is also the day when our people are testing their diplomatic skills. Gentlemen of the state, I am fortunate to be able to teach them!" Judging from the power-on, it seems that Liang Shiyi was indeed falsely accused, but this is the horror of politics. Once he jumps into the fire pit, once he is falsely accused, he will not be redeemed, nor will he be able to defend himself. On January 12, Wu Peifu sent another telegram saying: "There is chaos in the sky, thieves and internal strife, the country is about to perish, and there must be evildoers. Liang Shiyi was the chief culprit of Hong Xian, who escaped the public slaughter, formed a party for private interests, thieves took the seat, snakes as their hearts, and swallows and falcons. Tiancheng, who is charming and charming, just entered the cabinet. He was the first to be the municipal supervisor. Lu Zongyu, a traitor from various countries, mortgaged the construction property owned by the municipality to Japan, and borrowed 10 million yuan for his stage use. Cao Rulin, who has the best performance in betraying the country, is the industry. The special envoy implements the policy of looking forward to the sun with his heart, and uses his talents to be familiar with his hands. He even uses the scheme of gambling to make money, pays the salt tax, issues 90 million public bonds, and pays 20 million to repay the money Japan borrowed from the border guards. 50 million to be repaid to the domestic bank. This bond is a kind of fixed-term marketable securities. During the collection period, the money will be withdrawn in the future. From then on, he can freely manipulate the domestic bank and control his life. The chief ministers were all very opposed, but Du Liang, Ye, and Zhang Hu did not take it seriously. Gai Liang negotiated with the Japanese envoy and wanted to repay the Jiaoji Road to China on the surface, but actually pledged all the debt to the Bank of Japan, called Jiaolu, but in fact it was still in Japan. At the same time, the representative of the China Association called to oppose Beijing's direct negotiations with the Japanese envoy, but Liang withheld the call and refused to send it, in order to destroy the power of the representative of the China Association, so that the allies of the United Kingdom and the United States were helpless. Looking at his performance for ten days, the traitorous achievements have been so outstanding. Let him grow this corpse, does our country still have an inch of land? Do our people still have people? Yan pecks at the emperor's grandson, Han Zuo will be exhausted, if the people don't go, the country will not be safe. The hole is thick. Let me ask the people of today, who recognizes the treacherous cabinet!" On the 15th, Wu Peifu sent a telegram to Liang Shiyi to force him to leave the field.Electric cloud: "The Lu case is related to the survival of the country, and the people and people of the whole country are saved from death. I follow the public opinion, and I have to send calls again and again. Due to the situation of the country and the country, I can't help but speak irritatingly to the public. It is the public that does not take responsibility against the ear, but instead. If you have heard it, you will be happy, and let me be a straight-forgiving friend. I am tolerant and worthy of the country's demeanor. I am simple and uneducated, and I can't help but feel blasphemy. The public, Yuandian, is calm, and I can't help but sigh for self-cultivation. Extraordinary. The illustrious president, the people have a look forward to. The Lu case has passed, and the facts are there. Is the bad news in Washington false? Is the call sign of the expatriates false? Is the order of the three representatives fabricated? The call from the two representatives of Yu and Jiang , Is it a false accusation? Is the government’s 90 million loan from the Salt Administration justified? My father regards it as rumors, and those who love the public should treat it as rumors. But I am one of those who also love the public, dare to enter The final advice. It is a common practice in all countries in the world that any cabinet that the people do not trust should ask to resign to thank the people of the country. The public is indifferent, and the officials in Xinjiang do not understand. The people of the country are also incompatible. Zheliu, why bother to embarrass and offend the people of Xinjiang! Yi said: "Do it when you see a few, and don't wait until the end of the day." The public should go down the field quickly and confess with a clear heart. Why do you hesitate to fight for this momentary power, and suffer the real disaster in the future? Laugh and scold, let him laugh and scold, a good official will do it himself. If you are public and wise, you can't forgive this. Promise forgiveness, dare to speak out. It's cold and old. , Zhu Xi loves herself!" Whether or not Liang Shiyi actually allowed the Japanese envoys to negotiate directly and borrow money from Japan is a great mystery in history. If there was no such thing, Liang Shiyi would have been innocently wronged and became a victim of political struggle.With Liang Shiyi's resourcefulness and rich experience, he became a victim of politics. It can be seen that politics is a terrible thing. A person is at a disadvantage in terms of "power", no matter how much skill you have, you can't escape this disaster. The root cause of the political turmoil at that time seemed to be whether Liang had interviewed the Japanese envoy and ordered the three Chinese representatives to attend the Washington meeting. This could have been easily investigated thoroughly.The problem is that this is not the root cause of the political tide, it is just that people use it to make a fuss. Wu Peifu seized this issue to overthrow the cabinet, and he was in a very favorable position in the situation, while Liang could only parry, but had no power to fight back.Although Zhang Zuolin, Liang's backer, defended Liang, he was weak and weak, not as powerful as Wu's side.During this period, Zhang sent a telegram to Xu Shichang, saying slightly: "...The last time Zuolin came to Beijing, he followed Cao's envoy to form a cabinet. Sincerely, the Huahui meeting was at a critical moment. If the cabinet cannot be completed in one day, the country will not be consolidated in one day. Therefore, it is advisable to praise Liang's cabinet based on the Jiaoji problem. After the announcement was made, but the envoy Wu did not show any forgiveness, wantonly ridiculed, and sent a telegram every day. Whether his wording was inappropriate or not, or he was forced to come out because of his patriotic enthusiasm, is also unknown. If you don’t ask right from wrong , Noir to attack, how will the authorities be caught off guard? What is the hope of the country? Please preside over the discussion and announce the people of the country, so that the authorities can calmly spread out and overcome all achievements.  …” Wu Peifu not only targeted Liang Shiyi, but also Ye Gongchuo, his deputy. Wu issued a telegram on January 9, opposing the use of Japanese technicians by the Ministry of Communications to set up long-distance telephones between Shanghai, Nanjing, and Han, forcing the chief of transportation, Ye Gongchuo. Powered on the 10th to explain the whole story, the electric cloud: "I was very surprised when I read that Wu's patrol envoy was connected to Jiari! The long-distance telephone method for Shanghai, Nanjing, and Han proposed by the Ministry of Communications was established in the eighth year of the Republic of China, and it was not handled by Gong Chuo during his tenure. It is too embarrassing, I have no time to ask about this matter, let alone urged to proceed, hereby declare to avoid misunderstanding. As far as the wording of the original telegram is concerned, it is not enough to respect each other's personality. Wu used Jiaoji Road and the issue of national power to make an article against the cabinet, which made Liang Pavilion only able to parry. On January 14, the Ministry of Communications urged the nationals to raise funds to redeem roads. On January 17, the National Federation of Business and Education, the Beijing General Chamber of Commerce, the Beijing Peasant Association, the Beijing Education Association, the National Press Federation, and the National Student Union jointly organized the "Salvation of the Nation Redemption Road Fundraising Meeting".Make the road of redemption in full swing. On January 19, Wu Peifu led the army, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hubei, Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi provinces were listed as governors and governors, and a telegram asked to remove Liang Shiyi as the prime minister of the cabinet.When Xu Shichang received this telegram, he personally approved the word "Jiaoyuan". According to reason, the telegram attacking the Premier of the State Council can only be archived by the President and should not be approved by the Prime Minister. This batch is tantamount to implying that he does not support Liang Ge. Calling Xu Shichang to ask for resignation in person, Liang felt that Xu was not willing to support Liang Ge at all, and naturally he was quite complaining. The "telegraph war" of the Beiyang era was a major feature at that time, and the masters of the article all brought out the old and brought forth the new in the telegram, showing their talents.Wu Peifu's downfall this time is the telegraph warfare used, today a new "Crocodile Repelling Essay", and tomorrow an imitation "Discuss Empress Wu Zetian".Corresponding to Wu Peifu, there are Tian Zhongyu's Geng Dian (8th), Xiao Yaonan's Wen Dian (12th) and Milling Dian (16th), Qi Xieyuan's Qin Dian (13th), Chen Guangyuan's Yuan Dian (13th) , Zhao Ti's telegram (16th), Feng Yuxiang's clever telegram (18th). Cao Kun, the immediate leader, did not ask for Liang's telegram, perhaps because of the favor of his in-law Zhang Zuolin. The most wonderful thing is that Zhang Keyao, the commander of Shandong No. 1 Mixed Brigade, published an article "A Call to Discuss Liang Shi Yi", and the whole article uses "a call to discuss Wu Zetian", which makes people laugh after reading it. Liang Shiyi showed the demeanor of a prime minister. He read Chinese books very well, and of course he understood what the Chinese call the mind of a prime minister.Therefore, he accepted all kinds of calls against him.He called Wu Peifu "one of the strange men in our country", and also said that "I have made good and straightforward friends all my life, and I dare not argue with him."Regarding his demeanor, Wu Peifu ridiculed him as "it is up to others to laugh and scold, but I am a good official myself". Wu Peifu was really the rising sun at this time, the proud son of heaven. Three years ago, he stormed the cabinet of Gong Xinzhan, and the collapse of Gong cabinet was the harbinger of the war against the Anhui faction.Now he is storming Liang Shiyi's cabinet, and Liang is also on the verge of collapse. This time is the prelude to his declaration of war against the Feng faction.In this prelude, Wu Peifu always seized the upper hand. His telegram battle was so impressive that everyone applauded it, but Zhang Zuolin was only able to parry. Don't be discouraged. Liang Shiyi resigned, Xu Shichang only granted leave, and Liang also wanted to see a period, so he asked for leave to go to Tianjin on the spot.At that time Xu Shichang wanted to invite Wang Shizhen, a Beiyang veteran, to form a cabinet. Wang naturally thanked Bumin. After the death of Jiang Guiti, a Beiyang veteran, Wang Shizhen was appointed by the Beijing government as the Dulwich General to manage the general's affairs. He had always lived in Zhengding and did not often come to Beijing. The place of right and wrong, because he also handles the affairs of the general's mansion, so he came to Beijing. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gan Huiqing, was appointed acting Prime Minister for the second time. Because Liang Shiyi had not resigned, and he was still in Liang's cabinet in name, Yan Huiqing's "representative" this time was different in nature from the first time.He said that it was still the same as last time. In order to avoid anarchy, he had to accept this task. At the same time, he declared that the period of acting as the cabinet until the closing date of the Washington Conference. After the conclusion of the Washington Conference, the issue of the cabinet collapse was no longer important, because the Feng faction was dispatching troops and generals, and Wu Peifu was also actively arranging for it.
