Chapter 206 205. Li Yuanhong was forced to step down

On June 6, 2012, the State Council was held in Beijing. The Minister of the Interior, Gao Lingxuan, spoke first. Gao said: "Recently, the President has dealt with some government affairs directly without going through the State Council, while others have been directly handed over to the court by order. For example, the constitution-making funds, the appointment and dismissal of Chongwenmen supervision, and the appointment of Zhang Gongchen as the chief inspector of the military and police are all arbitrary by the president. If you don’t trust me, we have no choice but to retreat from the virtuous way.” After Gao’s speech, Minister of Transportation Wu Yulin, Chief of Justice Cheng Ke, and Chief of Finance Zhang Yinghua all agreed with the cabinet’s resignation.

Before Prime Minister Zhang Shaozeng had time to speak, Gao Lingfei said: "If the Prime Minister is unwilling to resign, our cabinet members can also jointly resign." Wu Yulin also scolded Li Yuanhong endlessly.At this time, Zhang Shaozeng had no choice but to say reluctantly: "If you want to resign, it is better for everyone to resign together." Li Gengen, the chief of agriculture and commerce, and Peng Yunyi, the minister of education in Yongli, did not speak.Gao Lingxuan took out the resignation telegram prepared in advance by the Tianjin and Bao faction, and asked everyone to sign. The full text of the telegram is as follows:

"It is reported that the Prime Minister has neglected his duties and his responsibilities are unclear. Please reprimand the matter. On the 24th, the Ministry of Finance received an official document from the Taxation Office, which contained a case of borrowing money from the customs to rebuild a house. Allocate 130,000 yuan, and the National Congress allocates 170,000 yuan a month for the constitution-making fund. The funds for the construction of the Jianghai Customs will be allocated according to the amount, and the Ministry of Finance will check and follow the instructions. Because of the fact that the constitution-making is the fundamental cause of the country, it should have raised funds In order to promote the success of the mission, the funds for the mission are also very important. However, according to the legal procedures, it must first be approved by the State Council before it becomes effective. The government sent Ha Hanzhang to the Jingshi Military and Police Inspectorate to resubmit a letter, and was ordered to hand it over to the court for various reasons. On the same day, it was decided to transfer Xue Dubi to Chongwenmen tax supervisor, and an order was drafted, countersigned and sent to the government. After three days, it has not been sealed and issued. Fucha Republic of China "Convention Law" adopts the responsible cabinet system, so it is clearly stipulated in Article 45 that any order issued by the President must be countersigned by the State Secretary. Also check the government organization order State affairs are handled by the State Council. Also check the State Council items listed in Article 1 of the "State Council Rules", the third item of extra-budgetary expenditures, and the seventh item of the entry and exit of officials. It is borrowed and appropriated funds, and All cases of taxation and supervision of a brief appointment must be resolved and handled by the State Council, which has a clear text. Today, the president made arbitrary decisions in advance, and did not accept them afterwards. Confidence, the only way to stand up and repudiate him is to clarify responsibility and respect the rule of law, so that you can't stand the camp and wait for orders."

After Zhang Shaozeng's cabinet resigned, Wu Minlin and Cheng Ke persuaded Zhang to leave Beijing to avoid trouble. In fact, the supporters of the Cao faction were afraid that Zhang would change his mind again. Zhang Yun considered that Wu had already prepared a special car, and asked Zhang to leave Beijing immediately. Zhang Shaozeng then On the night of resignation, Zhang Ting'er, Secretary-General of the State Council, went to Tianjin in a special car. On June 7, 2012, Li Yuanhong sent a telegram to defend the point of criticism in the cabinet general resignation letter: "Yuan Hong was not virtuous, he was responsible for my Yuan bureaucrats, and he resigned as the general manager. The constitutional funds were listed as the main reason. At that time, the National Assembly passed a resolution, and the speaker requested that the Minister of Finance should be absent. , Discussed with the public, began to transfer to the Commercial and Taxation Department, postponed the construction of the customs, approved the use, and was agreed. Unexpectedly, there will be a follow-up. Yuanhong sponsored the constitution, with the heart of saving the country. This can be learned by all the people of the country! The embassy cut off the cooking and returned to the country under the flag, what a matter, but I endured it indifferently! There was a discussion in the room, and there was no difference; Its discussion. Now that the garrison is established, why not lay off the province, the cabinet members oppose it, and the industry will be removed. Chongwen tax difference, the cabinet members advocate changing people, compared with the promise, Tao Li is the first one. It is also allowed to seal, but it is urged repeatedly by telegram, and it has not been sent to the government. It is still in the courtyard, and it can be re-pressed. It is neither an important policy nor an intentional one. Yuan Hong and his colleagues in the inner court have repeatedly pushed the hub. Zhang Kui and his colleagues half entrusted the old contract. The friends of the onyx and the inkstone seats are so good that they are happy for life. Among the special government courtyards, they love each other and maintain care. Do not move from the beginning, and observe the completion without any hindrance. Rehabilitation is a failure of inspection, and there are only a few ends. Occasionally, the opinion is not restrained at the beginning, but it is difficult to forgive after a long time. If it is not mentioned, the cabinet members are willing to clarify their responsibilities, and they are solid in their prayers and wishes. The juncture is close, and the shufu walks together, and the rudder is lost in the middle, so I don’t know where to go. Yuan Hong is not sorry, what is the country like? We have dispatched Deputy Chief Liu Zhizhou and Vice Chief Jin Yongyan to Tianjin to thank them, and to persuade them to take up their posts. We expect to be invited, and we have heard the news!"

At the same time, Li issued a telegram, announcing the truth about the loan and allocation of funds. There is a saying: "If the Congress is broken again, the "Convention Law" will be lost, chaotic disputes, and has long been reduced to a lawless country. Yuan Hong hurts his father's family and wealth, loses all protection, and endures reinstatement, hoping to see the completion of the constitution. It is difficult to implement the constitution. The warlord will not be abolished, although success is still hindered, dry throat and lips, regretful misfortune, lack of integrity, things backfire, fear that once resigned, the establishment is not yet visible, looking forward to the future, heartbroken, can only promote, but do what we can Yuan Hong worried about the rest of his life, and was eager to get rid of it. The constitution was only two months away, and he had nothing to ask for except the constitution. Why not! If it doesn’t work out, Ningfu will have a country, weep and look forward to it, and implement it.”

After Liu Zhizhou and Jin Yongyan arrived in Tianjin, they met Zhang Shaozeng and conveyed Li Yuanhong's sincere intention to stay. Zhang Shaozeng was full of thoughts and said: "This political tide has been brewing for a long time, and the reasons for it are complicated. Everyone understands that my personal ability is limited, and my karma is difficult to eliminate. Now that I have resigned, of course there is no reason for my reinstatement. Although the president wants to keep me, I can’t overcome the two characters ‘high’. "The Presidential Question". On the day Zhang Shaozeng resigned as the cabinet chief, representatives of the military and police in Beijing held a meeting at the Army Review and Envoy Office of Chantan Temple. The representatives at the meeting were very angry. Instead, the soldiers did not pay their salaries for several months, which made us so poor that we didn’t even have food to eat, and we had to settle accounts with him.”

On June 7, 2012, the 9th, 11th, and 13th Divisions of the Beijing Garrison, as well as representatives of the Infantry Commander, Yi Jun, and the Police Department, a total of more than 500 people, wearing uniforms and wearing sabers on their waists, came to the palace Ask the President to pay the back pay.Li Yuanhong reluctantly met them in Jurentang, and, full of grievances, he glanced at them fiercely and said sharply, "What are you doing seeing me? Are you going to force me to abdicate? If you want me to go, I will go." The officers replied: "I dare not, it's just because there is no cabinet now, we can't find the finance minister and the prime minister, so we have to ask the president to make the decision." Two days before the holiday), the army and police officers quit.

On the 8th, the pro-Cao faction hired gangsters and called themselves the Citizens Group. They set up a podium in front of Tiananmen Square, gathered hundreds of people, and claimed that there were 10,000 people. Resignation, the central government fell into a state of anarchy, the main reason is because of President Li. The reinstatement of President Li has no legal basis, and now he is still making political waves and breaking the law. In order to save the country, we have to ask Li to wake up quickly. Abdicate immediately to make way for the worthy. We are all patriotic and not future generations, so please share your views and save the country from peril." Ye Mou finished speaking, and there were many speakers on the stage again.Then Ye Mou read out the draft telegram printed in Tianjin, and then ended hastily.This "National Assembly" was organized by Bian Shoujing, a think tank of the Tianjin and Bao faction, from Tianjin to Beijing on the 7th.This is the reprint of Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui's organization of the "Citizens Group" to falsify public opinion.

Inside and outside Beijing, the atmosphere of a big storm is full. Li Gengen from the Department of Political Science and Li Xiruan moved to Li Yu in Fuxue Hutong, and Rao Hanxiang, Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace, vowed to live and die with President Li. At 6 a.m. on the 9th, the Beijing police announced they were on strike.Feng Yuxiang, the Army inspector, and Wang Huaiqing, the commander-in-chief of the Gyeonggi Garrison, jointly signed a letter to the Congress and the diplomatic corps, declaring that they would do their best to protect the Congress and foreign nationals and be responsible for maintaining law and order in the capital.On this day, many plainclothes policemen and security teams took turns patrolling the urban area.The diplomatic corps convened an interim meeting to discuss how to deal with the current emergency situation in Beijing. Some people advocated the formation of an international committee to assist the Beijing government in "organizing" its finances, but no unanimous agreement was obtained.In the end, only one resolution was passed, which was to send the leader of the diplomatic corps, the Portuguese minister to China, Frederick, to Dongchang Hutong to condolences to the lonely Li Yuanhong.

On the 9th, the Portuguese Minister to China, Fu Lide, went to visit Li Yuanhong on behalf of the Beijing diplomatic mission. As the head of state, Li could hardly say anything in front of foreign envoys except to say some words of thanks.Fu Lide showed Li the joint letter of Feng Yuxiang and Wang Huaiqing, in which there was a sentence "this is a political effect".Fu Lide told Li that when such a situation occurs in a foreign country, it is usually called a coup.Therefore, the diplomatic corps is willing to do its best to maintain the safety of President Li. The situation was of course very serious. On the 9th, the garrison troops stationed at Xinhua Gate and Dongchang Hutong were all withdrawn. Seeing this situation, Li had no choice but to stay in Dongchang Hutong instead of going to the Presidential Palace.At noon, Li's house's external calls were disconnected in several places, and it was obvious that he was under surveillance.The so-called "National Assembly" in front of Tiananmen continues.

The diplomatic corps notified the Beijing Ministry of Foreign Affairs in an official letter, expressing concern about the dismissal of the military and police. Therefore, for the safety of foreigners, they planned to send foreign soldiers to patrol the streets. Automatic return to work. On this day, Feng Yuxiang and Wang Huaiqing expressed to Li that Yan Huiqing could be elected to form a cabinet and hand over power to this cabinet.Li said that Yan Huiqing could be considered as a cabinet candidate, but the power issue should be resolved by the Congress.Wang Jiaxiang and Wang Zhengting persuaded Li to propose an explanation of the presidential term to the Congress so that he could step down safely, but Rao Hanxiang refused to draft this statement.In the evening, there was another meeting in Li's residence. According to Feng and Wang's opinion, Yan was invited to form a cabinet. Yan also attended the meeting and expressed his willingness to jump into the fire pit. .On the same day, Li Zhuozhang, Wu Peifu's representative, came to Tianjin to express his attitude on behalf of Wu. He said that Wu Ziyu wanted him to solemnly declare that all activities should be carried out within the track, and not to be impulsive and let the "old man" (referring to Cao Kun) Win the infamy of Qianqiu.Wu himself will never participate in this political tide and so on. After lunch on the 10th, more than 300 mid-level military officers went to Li’s house in Dongchang Hutong to ask for payment. Before the cabinet is formed, the military and police salaries will naturally be unable to be paid." The military and police representatives insisted that the payment must be made on the same day as the juncture is approaching.The entanglement didn't go away until 3 pm.Then the "citizens' group" gathered more than a thousand people in front of Tiananmen Square, as well as the so-called "citizens' petition group" and representatives of the "National Assembly". Paper banners such as "citizens are hungry, the president is fat", "the president does not care about the citizens", "the president abdicates" and other paper banners marched towards Li's mansion, and leaflets were distributed along the way, all of which were words attacking Li.When we arrived at Li's residence, I asked to see the president, but Li naturally refused to meet him, so the petitioning "citizens" waved their flags and shouted outside the gate of Li's residence, making a lot of noise. Ignored, the besiegers did not disperse until midnight.That night, the phone in Li's house was monitored by the military and police, who were not allowed to answer calls, and the tap water was also blocked. Li Yuanhong was trapped in the alley of Dongchang, which was like a prison. Outside he was surrounded by "evil people", the army and police demanded his salary, while inside he was deserted, and the water and electricity were cut off.Under the extremely dangerous situation, Li had no choice but to call Cao Kun and Wu Peifu urgently for help, expressing his pleas, and at the same time forwarding the call to the provinces, the telegram said: "I have not been able to get a job for several days, and I am afraid to invite people to form a cabinet. After dismissing the post for a meeting, the whole city is full of turmoil, and rumors are spreading, all of which are said to have political effects. Today, hundreds of military and police officers and junior officials broke into the office for no reason. Is it the responsibility of the head of state to ask for wages under the name of the house? There are also citizens' petition groups and the National Assembly, about a thousand people, who continue to surround the house. Yuan Hong came according to the law, and today he can leave according to the law. Sixty old people, life and death do not count , why are you still nostalgic! Will the military and police be caught in a place where Yuan Hong is in violation of the law? Chiefs of Lianggong and Jifu should not sit idly by and hope to make it clear!" On the 11th, Li Yuanhong convened a meeting of celebrities staying in Beijing in his private residence, attended by Yan Huiqing, Gu Weijun, Sun Baoqi, Wang Zhengting, Wu Jinglian, Wang Jiaxiang, Tang Yi, etc.Everyone's heart is heavy and the air is suffocating.During the meeting, Li said that he could not repeat the mistakes of the 6th year of the Republic of China and just left.It's okay to step down by yourself, but I will never be Xu Shichang's second.He said, "I came here according to the law. If I want to leave today, I have to go according to the law. I can't be driven away in a daze." The air in Beijing was tense and depressed. During the two days from June 10th to June 11th, the city was full of wind and rain, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers. The dignitaries moved to Tianjin one after another. It seemed that Beijing was facing another catastrophe. On the 12th, representatives of the military and the police and the "citizens' group" went to Li's residence to demonstrate and challenge. Rao Hanxiang, Li's confidant and secretary-general of the presidential palace, also thought that he had to leave, but two cabinet members from the Department of Political Science still advocated fighting to the end.At noon Wang Huaiqing and Feng Yuxiang sent a joint resignation letter. Li Huan ordered him to stay and sent Zhang Huaizhi to return the letter, but they all refused.Then the middle and lower-level officers of the 11th and 12th divisions announced their resignation. Li Yuanhong was trapped in Dongchang Hutong. He had nowhere to ask for help, so he sent another telegram to Cao Kun and Wu Peifu. The telegram said: "It's been planned. Today, there are many military and police officers gathered outside the door. Hundreds of hooligans and pawns were rehired, holding paper banners such as driving Li to abdicate, and surrounded the house. The two envoys Wang and Feng jointly resigned. Why is it difficult for Yuan Hong to go to Xie Guoren, the first thought of power is tolerated by the law, and should not be abandoned lightly. Hope." At 3:00 p.m. on the 12th, Li Zhai held the last high-level meeting, and decided to issue seven orders under the irreversible situation: (1) Allowing Zhang Shaozeng to resign; (2) Appointing Li Yuanyuan to act concurrently as Prime Minister; (3) With the exception of Li Genyuan, all cabinet members allowed him to resign; (4) Appoint Jin Yongyan as Chief of the Army; (5) Abolition of the National Patrol Envoy, Deputy Patrol Envoy, Overseer, and Superintendent.The national army is under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of War; (6) Denouncing those who caused the coup d'etat; (7) Announced that starting from New Year's Day in the 14th year of the Republic of China, the national lijin would be abolished. These seven orders can be said to speak for themselves.It does not help in the slightest to save the actual political tide. For Li Yuanhong, Li Gengen of the Department of Political Science has always followed him in this difficult situation, and his friendship is very deep.Li Genyuan is from Tengchong, Yunnan Province. He graduated as a Japanese non-commissioned officer. He was at the same time as Tang Jiyao and Zhao Hengti.He is not a successful figure in politics, but he is a famous man of the hour. On the morning of June 13, Zhang Huaizhi came to see Li Yuanhong to report. It is said that Feng Yuxiang said to him: "The president should not accuse the military and police of asking for wages with ulterior motives. The army owes wages for eleven months, and the president still has to control Chongwenmen's taxes. If we don’t let all the officers and soldiers of our army die, of course we can’t continue, so we have to resign. The president keeps us and does not solve the problem of payment arrears. How can we explain to the officers and soldiers? Please ask the president and send them to three within 12 hours. One million yuan is owed, otherwise the army can move freely, and I cannot be responsible." Zhang Huaizhi was also pessimistic about the situation. He believed that the attitudes of Feng Yuxiang and Wang Huaiqing were obvious, and there was no room for negotiation. After Zhang left, Li Yuanhong called his secretary, Liu Yuanju, to submit the seven orders of the previous day to the Bureau of Printing and Casting for publication. Since there was no blank order paper, Li Yuanyuan signed the order in addition to Li Gengen's countersignature.At the same time, I asked Congress to revoke the resignation. Wen Yun: "At the beginning of my reinstatement last year, the President made a supplementary official document and declared his resignation to your court. Now that the national crisis is imminent, and it is impossible to shirk responsibility, I hereby declare to your court that the official document of resignation last year will be revoked, and I hope to check it." Another letter was sent to Congress and the diplomatic corps, saying: "The president of this country believes that he can't exercise his powers in Beijing, so he decided to move to Tianjin today. Special news." Li Youyou sent a telegram announcing his departure from Beijing to Tianjin. He stated that since his reinstatement last year, his sole purpose was to complete the constitution, and he had absolutely no intention of extending his term of office or running for president. However, this time his personal freedom has been violated and he cannot exercise his powers. Some say: " Cao's inspectors are close at hand, repeated telegrams should not be repeated, and people say tsk tsk, there is no reason... As a last resort, the government had to be moved to Tianjin, and I hope that the gentlemen of the country will understand their difficulties and uphold justice, and those who destroy the law and seize the throne , extinct from our country..." It was already 1:20 pm when all the formalities were completed.Li was afraid that he would not be able to escape from Beijing under the surveillance of the military and police, so Jin Yongyan went to Tianjin to welcome Zhang Shaozeng back to Beijing for reinstatement, and asked for a special car from the Railway Bureau; Under the cover of Kai Sen and Sim Bosen, together with the new army chief Jin Yongyan, military attache Tang Zhongyin, secretaries Han Yuchen, Xiong Shaolu and more than 10 people and more than 40 guards rushed to the station, and drove towards Tianjin in a hurry.Before Li left, he handed over 15 pieces of the president's seal to his wife Ru, and lived in the French Hospital in Dongjiaominxiang. After Li left Beijing, Zhang Ting'e (Zhiqing), the Secretary-General of the State Council, came to the State Council immediately. He couldn't find the president's seal, so he made a long-distance call and asked Wang Chengbin to urge Li to hand over the seal to prevent Beijing from falling into anarchy; Zhang Shaozeng immediately got on the train and returned to Beijing to be reinstated as Prime Minister so that he could exercise the presidency.Zhang Shaozeng got on the train that afternoon, but as soon as he got on the train, he received a telegram from Cao Kun preventing him from returning to Beijing, so he got off the train very depressed. On the day Li left Beijing, at 4:00 p.m. on June 13, Feng Yuxiang, Wang Huaiqing, Nie Xianfan, Xue Zhiheng and others held an emergency meeting at the Gyeonggi Garrison Headquarters, and decided to announce his reinstatement in accordance with Li's retention order and be responsible for maintaining law and order in Beijing. Cao Kun, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb in Baoding, also called the chief of the military and police in Beijing to order him to protect the Congress and the nationals of other countries, as if he was already the master of Beijing. Wang Chengbin, the governor of Zhili in Tianjin, received a long-distance call from Beijing asking him to search for the presidential seal carried by Li Yuanhong. He, together with the chief of police Yang Yide, led a large number of military police to Yangcun to stop Li. special car.At this time, Li's special car had arrived first, and Wang Chengbin just happened to board the car, while Yang Yide led the military police to guard the car door.Wang Chengbin approached Li's seat aggressively, and proudly said to Li: "The president has already left Beijing, so what's the use of the seal? Why did he bring him to Tianjin?" Li replied that the seal was still in Beijing and he didn't take it with him.Wang Ji said with a fierce look in his eyes: "You clearly brought it out of Beijing, why don't you tell the truth." Li also said angrily: "What qualifications do you have to ask me for my seal? I will never give it to you. Let's see what you do." ?” Wang sneered and said, “Since the president didn’t hand over the seal, I have no choice but to invite you back to Beijing.” Li was so angry that he couldn’t speak, and everyone froze. At 4:30 p.m., Li's special car arrived at Tianjin New Railway Station. Li's Tianjin apartment was close to the old railway station, so he ordered the special car to drive to the old station; Unload it, let the train stop, and at the same time ask Li to get off the train and go to Cao's Garden or the Governor's Office to rest.Li Qi fainted, and his old problems relapsed, like a mud bodhisattva, he ignored him.At this time, Wang Chengbin actually got off the car and went back to the governor's office. There were more than 1,000 fully armed military police besieging the station inside and outside the station, as if facing a big enemy, like arresting a Jiangyang robber.Li's son Li Shaoji came to Xinzhan to visit Naifu, but was stopped by the military and police.These soldiers treat the president as a prisoner and a prisoner, which is really abhorrent. Li was trapped in the special car, very angry, and completely cut off contact with the outside world, so he sent American consultant Sim Bosen to get off the car, and sent the telegram to the telegraph office. The car came to Jin, and when the car arrived at Yangcun, the governor of Zhili Wang got on the car and watched it. When it arrived at the new station, the governor of Wang ordered the front of the car to be removed. All kinds of threats made him lose his freedom. I hereby report it." After Simbotson sent the telegram, he went to the consular offices of the United Kingdom and the United States to report Li's abduction.The British and American consuls both sent their vice-consuls to the station to greet the daily life, but they were also stopped by the military and police.This angered the foreigners. They said angrily: "The Chinese warlords are so unreasonable that they can hijack the president. It is really a strange thing in the world." Li Yuanhong was pacing back and forth in the carriage, raising his gun to commit suicide, but Fu Kaisen snatched the gun away, the bullet had already been fired, it missed the vital part, and suffered only minor injuries. At 10:00 p.m. on the 13th, Wang Chengbin returned to Tianjin Xinzhan to meet Li Yuanhong and ask for the president's seal.He said to Li, since the president can no longer do it, why bother to hold back the seal?This is really Li's old problem. Li attaches great importance to the seal of the president. When he was threatened by Zhang Xun to abdicate in the 6th year of the Republic of China, he secretly handed the seal to his confidant Ding Huai to Shanghai and hid in the concession. As a result, Feng Guozhang He sent someone to get it but couldn't get it, and there was an interesting incident of kidnapping and seizing the seal. This time, Li did the same thing. He gave 15 seals of the president's size to his concubine Wei and took them to the French Hospital in Dongjiaomin Lane. He was accompanied by Qu Ying, the confidential secretary. As long as the seal is not handed over, the presidency can exist. When Wang Chengbin asked Li to be reinstated as president in Tianjin a year ago, he burst into tears, which was extremely touching. The carjacking this time was also very violent, which happened to be an extreme contrast to a year ago. He said that if Li did not hand over the seal, The only way is to live in the special car at Tianjin New Station forever.Under such threats, Li had no choice but to soften, and told Wang Chengbin that the seal was in Beijing and not in his own hands. Wang asked Li to call Beijing to hand over the seal. Ying asked them to hand over the seal to Congress.The other party replied that there is no oral order from the president, and they will not hand in the seal.When Tang returned to the carriage, Li asked Tang to call again, saying that this was what he meant.Tang called a second time, but still no result.In the end, Li had no choice but to get off the bus and go to the station to make a phone call.Under the heavy protection of the military and police, he talked on the phone with his concubine, and they spoke in the dialect of Hubei.Wu Yulin was listening to the news at the governor's office at this time, and when he heard that the Beijing side had agreed to hand over the seal, he rushed back to Beijing to collect the seal.Because Beijing did not receive the seal that night, Wang Chengbin and others still did not allow Li Yuanhong to return to his private residence in Tianjin. Li was still under house arrest and stayed in the station master's office of Tianjin Xinzhan for one night, while Wang Chengbin returned to the Governor's Office. strict.Wang Chengbin also sent a telegram to his provincial governor's office: "I received the telegram from Beijing at 1:30 this afternoon. President Li secretly left Beijing in a special car in the name of Kim Yong-yam. He did not resign to the Congress, nor did he hand over his seal. I don't know what that means. Cheng Bin immediately drove to Yangcun for an audience and asked for instructions. The location of the seal. The president’s words are vague. Jiyun is in the French Hospital in Beijing, and his wife is keeping it. He has called Beijing many times, but has not yet agreed to hand it over. It is reported that the president sent an official letter to the two houses on the verge of departure: the president believes that he cannot exercise his powers in Beijing. , has been moved to Tianjin today and other reasons. Li's mansion is in the British Concession, a place where the government is not organized. I sincerely ask you to move to the Provincial Office and do it calmly. Side loan. After today's actual situation, I hereby report it by telegram, and Yu Rong will continue to publish it. Wang Chengbin. Yuan." After Wang Chengbin returned to the Governor's Office, Li ordered Sim Bosen to go to the telegraph office to resend a telegram saying: "Previously, when the plan arrived, Governor Wang led more than a thousand soldiers to surround the train and forced him to hand over the seal. It was found that the seal was in the French Hospital in Beijing, and he was forced to hand it over to Director Xue. He refused to let him go. Yuan Hong allowed Zhang Kui to resign. All orders They were all detained by the Bureau of Printing and Casting and have not been released. If there is an order officially issued by Beijing, it is obviously a fake, and Yuanhong will not be responsible." In the early morning of June 14, 2012, Wang Chengbin received a call from Beijing saying that Zhang Ting'er and Xue Zhiheng had obtained a letter from Mrs. Li Yuanhongru of the French Hospital in Dongjiaomin Lane, so he rushed to the new station to meet Li, holding three telegrams, and unanimously agreed with the Congress and unanimously The State Council, unanimous throughout the country, has the same content. It goes slightly: "I have left Beijing for some reason, and I have resigned to the Congress. The State Council will exercise the powers of the president according to law." Li is forced to sign, otherwise he will be detained in the car and never released. Li Yuanhong's great seal has been handed in, so he has nothing to say, so he has to sign all of them.Wang Chengbin waited for Li Yuanhong to finish everything before he let Li recover his freedom and drove back to his apartment.Immediately after Li returned to his residence, he issued a telegram, which said: "Today's official letter to the Senate and the House of Representatives, reporting on the situation of persecution in Tianjin. The article said: Informed, yesterday Yuan Hong used the excuse of the military and police for days to ask for salary, and the unemployed hooligans forced him to abdicate. It is obviously not effective. The situation is dangerous. As a last resort, I temporarily moved to Tianjin, while appointing new cabinet members to maintain the status quo. But at 3:00 p.m. on the same day, when I arrived at Yangcun, Governor Wang Chengbin and others were in a car to monitor. When I arrived at Tianjin New Station, Wang Chengbin sent an order to remove the front of the car , all kinds of threats, thousands of military and police densely deployed, insisting not to let go. At the beginning, he asked to hand over the seal, and after handing over, he asked to resign by sending a telegram, and handed over to the court for photographing, otherwise he would be imprisoned in the car and never let go. Turn out the draft draft , Forced to sign. Until 4 o'clock in the morning of this day, he will be free to return to his house. This is also the case of being forced in Tianjin Xinzhan. The expression of intent to steal dimension and be forced should be invalid. This is the general law. Wang Chengbin imprisoned the head of state by the Chief Executive It is rare to hear about it in ancient and modern China and abroad. How to maintain the rule of law, advocate justice, respect the lords of the Guigui, and quickly discuss the method. Wang Chengbin issued the opposite power-up, the electric cloud: "The president came to Tianjin suddenly this time, and people were terrified. He politely persuaded him to return to Beijing, but he didn't get permission. Of course, all the presidential duties are taken by the State Council. If there is no seal, the proclamation will not be implemented, that is, government affairs will be at a standstill. The key is close. The army and the police demanded payment very urgently, and the whole country fell into a state of anarchy, and the future was extremely dangerous. All the presidents of Li came to Jin, and the situation of the seal application has been reported in detail in Yuandian. The entourage arrived in Beijing, and took out the seal at the French Hospital in Beijing today, and handed it over to Superintendent Xue for collection. Beijing and Tianjin are quiet and orderly, please take note." On June 13, after Li left Beijing, Gao Lingyu, a cabinet member of the Supporting Cao faction who stayed in Beijing, issued a telegram in a hypocritical manner. The telegram said: "Last night, the president of Lida sent a telegram, and the text said: Tianjin visited President Junjian of Lida, and today Jun is going to Tianjin. He has not received an encyclical beforehand, and he can't reach it. Beijing is the seat of the government, so we can't live without a head of state for a day. The seat of Kenjun is in the capital at night, and I look forward to it with comfort. Ling Yu and other cabinet members would like to maintain the administrative situation today, and only wait for the return. Fuxi will tell you the reason and send it together." When Li Yuanhong received this call from Beijing at his apartment in Tianjin, he was really outraged and complained repeatedly, and he replied the same day: "Mr. Beijing Gao Jinshe, Zhang Yuesheng, Li Chengmei, and Wu Qiufang all learned from: Yuan Dian learned that I am very grateful for the kindness. The deacon and others petitioned to resign, but they could not be retained. On the morning of the first day, an order was issued with a countersigned seal according to law, and the post and other posts were approved. , and Li Yuanyuan, the special director of agriculture and commerce, who is also the acting prime minister, please take a break from your virtuous work and look good, I hereby thank you, and I will be grateful to Deputy Minister Shen." After Li Yuanhong returned to Beijing, the supporters of the Cao faction in Beijing took immediate action. At 1 p.m. on the 14th, Gao Lingyu (Minister of the Interior) convened a special meeting at the State Council, attended by Zhang Yinghua (Minister of Finance), Li Dingxin (Chief of the Sea), Cheng Ke (Judicial), Shen Ruilin (Outside Ci), Sun Duoyu (Crossover) Feng Yuxiang, Army Review Envoy, Wang Huaiqing, Commander-in-Chief of the Gyeonggi Garrison, Nie Xianfan, Commander of the Infantry, Xue Zhiheng, Superintendent of the Police, etc.Gao Lingyu made a speech, briefly saying that since President Li Da resigned by telegram, according to the provisions of the Presidential Election Law, the State Council should take over the powers.Premier Zhang is in Tianjin again, and the holidays are pressing. All colleagues present here should keep the country in mind and work together to maintain the status quo. We must work hard. At the same time, we must ask the Ministry of Finance to raise funds as soon as possible, and allocate funds to various agencies before the Dragon Boat Festival.Participants spoke one after another, discussed the results, and made several resolutions: (1) Regarding the issue of the resignation of the president, it was decided that the State Council would send a telegram, declaring that he would act as the president in accordance with the law. He also used a phone call to ask Mr. Wu to go to Baoding today to discuss the measures for the regent of the State Council. (2) Regarding financial issues, it was decided that the Ministry of Finance should be responsible for raising funds, and all military and police salaries and government agencies' funds should be released two days before the festival; the security of the capital is still maintained by the military and police authorities.It was led by Gao Lingyu to send out a telegram saying: Today, I received a cold telegram from the President. The President has left Beijing for some reason and has resigned to the Congress.In accordance with Article 5, Paragraph 2 of the Presidential Election Law, this Court will take the post of President from today, and hereby announces. On the 16th, Wang Kemin called a bank to advance 1 million yuan, and decided to pay a batch of arrears on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival (18th). On June 20, Li Yuanhong sent a letter to the two courts and the diplomatic corps from Tianjin and telegraphed the whole country, saying: "Someone, in the name of the State Council, sent a telegram on the next day without authorization, calling out various sections, and the language was absurd. Cha Yuanhong was forced by violence and believed that he could not freely exercise his powers in Beijing, so he left Beijing on the first day. All the missions have received a letter and have a record. They can exercise their functions and powers anywhere within the national border, that is, travel across the border. There are precedents in other countries. How can it be called resignation when leaving Beijing this time? Item 2, Article 5 of the "President Election Law" The regulations refer to the fact that the president is unable to perform his duties for some reason, and the vice president is absent at the same time. Recognizing it is tantamount to rewarding rebellion and setting a bad example for future looting. Zhi Yuanhong’s move from Beijing to Tianjin did not mean resignation, let alone cite it arbitrarily. Moreover, former Prime Minister Zhang Shaozeng, former Chief Minister Gu Weijun, Gao Lingyu, Zhang Yinghua, Li Dingxin, Cheng Ke, Peng Yunyi, Wu Yulin, etc. had resigned earlier, and Yu Wenri had an order signed by State Councilor Li Genyuan according to the law, allowing them to be exempted from their posts and other posts, sealed in the Yuan Dynasty, and handed over to the Sealing and Casting Bureau for publication. Gao Lingyu and others After being dismissed, the qualifications of state servants have been lost, especially under the pretext of being allowed to be allowed. On the morning of June 13th, Yuan Hong was still in Beijing, and the order issued was correct. Under what law can the Congress deny it? That is, Yuan Hong left Beijing. From now on, the orders issued by the President who is still in office shall be effective as long as they are countersigned by state officials according to the law. Ruofu’s personal texts and telegrams have nothing to do with government orders, let alone the interference of Congress. The court does not hold meetings privately in accordance with the law. The number of people and votes are arbitrary, which is especially inconsistent. In his late years, Yuan Hong suffered from fierce provocations, and the new station was in danger. Still alive, my husband is empty-handed, and sent to the White House alone. If he calls it a name, he will suffer a lot of slander. If he calls it a profit, he will leave his salary for a long time. The power is lighter than the slender, and the disaster is heavier than Qiushan. The three-foot child also knows that he has no attachments. They only come according to the law, but they cannot go away according to the law, so that future generations will know that Dafa is invincible and justice is indestructible. If the Congress regards Yuan Hong as guilty, judges him with conscience, and judges him in accordance with the "Convention Law", how dare Yuan Hong refuse to accept it. If he plays tricks and uses violence to impose on the unarmed and brave head of state, the National Assembly will kill himself first In the future generations of the world. Although Yuan Hong is weak, he will never admit it. From now on, Yuan Hong's power has not been confirmed by the National Congress. No matter what method is used to elect a successor, it is illegal. I hereby declare." On the 20th, Li ordered Tang Shaoyi to be reappointed as the prime minister. Before Tang took office, Li Genyuan was still acting as the prime minister.Li was not free to send telegrams in Tianjin, so these telegrams were dispatched to Shanghai.Li planned to win over the south, especially Sun Yat-sen, through Tang Shaoyi.At the same time, in cooperation with the Feng Faction and the Anhui Faction, the Congress and the government were moved to Shanghai.This is of course a feasible way. At that time, Sun Yat-sen and the Feng and Wan factions were planning to organize a grand alliance against the Zhili. Now that Li was kicked out of the presidency by the Zhili, he naturally sought the support of the anti-zhi factions. Li Genyuan followed Li Yuanhong to Tianjin and was appointed as the acting prime minister. He sent a letter to Tang Shaoyi, which showed Li's intentions. The original letter is as follows: "Mr. Shaochuan's lesson: I wrote a letter earlier to thank Huicha. The president's intention. Once the Congress government moves to the south, it will be taken by the Grand Political Council. In case of important matters, I am still willing to take charge of it. As for the issue of the position, it is appropriate From the fundamental point of view, it is not appropriate to let the soldiers do the job, and then find out. It is best to change the presidential system to a committee system as a once-and-for-all solution, in accordance with the Swiss law. I heard that there are different political opinions in the south, and Mr. presides over it. There must be some Good strategy. The President’s instructions are hereby recorded and submitted for reference. Fu Wei Jianna! The President will come to Shanghai soon to formally organize the government. But I ask my father-in-law to preside over it with full authority, and I hope to make great preparations in advance. I sincerely respect Xun An! Sincerely, Li Yuanyuan, June 20th. Again, the root cause is concerned with the fundamentals of building a country.Attached are: (1) Presidential elections, which are not exclusive to the National Assembly, must be shared by all provincial councils and corporations. (2) Active servicemen are not allowed to be elected president, and they must have retired for more than two years before they can be elected. (3) The President shall not be re-elected. (4) Promote the national constitution and formulate provincial constitutions. (5) Strictly reduce the number of troops, and the number of standing troops in the country shall not exceed 300,000. (6) 20,000 troops will be stationed in the capital, and they will be dispatched in rotation by the provinces and regions. " 黎还有一个计划，拟任命段琪瑞为讨逆军总司令兼第一路司令，张作霖为第二路司令，卢永祥为第三路司令，并以自己的同乡亲信陈宦为参谋长。可是息隐天津的段祺瑞对黎这个计划嗤之以鼻，他冷笑说，讨“逆”我不会自己讨，要你姓黎的给我命令？真是笑话。黎听说段不肯屈就，又想改任张作霖为讨逆军总司令，阎锡山和卢永祥为副司令。可是张、阎、卢都表示得很冷淡。他这次上台完全是直系捧出来的，现在被直系一脚踢下台来才想求助于人，大家对这个赤手空拳、无兵无将的空头总统，根本不屑一顾。 黎曾向银行抵借12万元，在天津成立“国会议员招待所”。这笔钱很快就用光，少数受他招待到天津的议员又纷纷回到北京去了。 黎在天津仍俨然以总统自居，他经常有公函送给外交团的领袖公使、葡萄牙公使符礼德，说这样说那样，符礼德开始还把他的公函当作一回事，随时照译照转，后来见黎的文件越来越多，而且大多是古色古香，佶屈聱牙的骈体文，而外交团的华文秘书也没有熟读《佩文韵府》，很难体会，因此符礼德便在外交团的联席会议上声明，黎的文件没有照转必要，以后都不转发了。 张绍曾看见各方攻击摄政内阁是个群龙无首的内阁，因此又想回到北京复职，但是王承斌却给他泼了一盆冷水，通电反对他复职，他只好走向黎元洪同一命运。 黎元洪在天津四处碰壁，因此决心南下，他的左右，如姚震、李思浩、陈宦等均赞成黎去上海，息隐天津的段祺瑞也表赞同。不过到上海，不能不看浙江军务督办卢永祥和淞沪护军使何丰林的态度，这两人一直未表示迎黎南下，黎觉得要等卢、何态度明朗殊不容易，决心置之不顾，乃秘密搭乘日轮长府丸，偕李根源、陈宦、庄景珂和日本医生二人南下，于9月11日（12年）抵沪，下榻法租界杜美路26号，当晚即在寓邸邀请唐绍仪、章炳麟、李根源、褚辅成、章士钊、陈宦、饶汉祥、郑万瞻、焦易堂等密商。会后发出一道通电云： “元洪忝受国民付托，待罪公仆，德薄能鲜，致有六月十三日之祸。惟念纪纲不可不立，责任不可不尽，业于九月十一日到沪，勉从国人之后，力图靖献，谨此奉闻。” 又有致广州孙中山电云： “（上半段与前电同）……我公昔在清季，与元洪共开草昧，休戚与共，惟望共伸正义，解决时局，海天南望，伫候教言。” 9月12日黎在寓邸招待新闻记者，发表书面谈话如下： “余在国会未曾有正当解释任期之前，总统地位，当然存在。余在京因不能自由行使职权而移津，然天津依然为暴力所包围，乃不得不转而至沪。上海为舆论中心，政治策源地，故余来深欲征取各方意旨，并将中心所怀，报告于众，使各方公判，而求妥善解决之道。连年兵祸，国民已创深痛钜，余素主和平，寻求国是之解决，雅不欲诉诸武力。余对于总统之位，毫无恋栈之意，亦无作下届总统之野心，惟进退授受，当遵法定手续。今法纪荡然，长此混乱，国何以立？余故不惮跋涉而来沪，求各派人士之合作，以维法律而整纲纪。故余南来之宗旨，一言以蔽之曰：维持法律，整饬纪纲而已。至现在北京之摄阁，毫无法律根据，今合法内阁之总理为唐绍仪，仍有施行政事之权力，沪上之国会，为主张正义而来，彼开会时，余当出席报告，请其维持法纪而固国本。余之行动一遵民意，而以法律为根据，如有能整饬纪纲，维持法律者，余即当按法定手续以政权相授，决不迟疑恋栈也。” 中外各报对黎元洪的南下，反应并不热烈，没有当做一件大新闻，而黎的谈话也没有引起人的大兴趣，黎元洪抵沪后的第一炮完全不响。 黎元洪被直系捧上总统位子，并没有得到奉系、皖系以及国民党和西南方面的同意，他们都是反对黎上台的，所以黎在第二次总统任内，西南根本不承认黎的地位，浙江也宣言自主，在未统一前，不服从中央。所以黎的南下，他们不曾热烈欢迎，加上黎未到上海，就盛传江苏的齐燮元将与浙江的卢永祥发生军事冲突。齐是直系健将，卢是皖系的唯一实力人物，他们要冲突是极可能的。江浙两省对于战争的威胁极为敏感，所以两省的士绅如张一麐、张謇等发起《江浙和平公约》，分别请苏浙军民当局和浙沪护军使签字，以资信守。黎到上海时，这个和平公约刚好签署，其中规定：“对于两省境内保持和平，凡足以引起军事行动之政治运动，双方须避免之。” 江浙人士认为黎元洪在上海组织政府，将使和平局势受到破坏，所以张謇就去见黎，力言江浙和平关系重大，希望不要轻举妄动。意思是反对黎在上海活动。 9月13日黎在杜美路寓所召集全国性的会议，邀请广东代表汪兆铭、浙江代表邓汉祥、奉天代表杨毓珣、云南代表陈维庚、贵州代表李雁宾、四川代表费行简、赵铁桥、湖南代表钟才宏参加，商量筹组一个全国性的政府。 黎元洪以主席身份首先致词，他说：“这次南下完全是自动，因为曹锟用金钱和武力攫取总统，眼看就要成功，如果大家坐视其上台，必定惹起各省兵争，破坏和平，流祸无已。故不若用拆台方法，令其不能做总统，即可保全和平；今拆台只得一半成功，故率然南下，希望和各方通力合作，贯彻拆台宗旨。盼各方支持，拆台既竣，建设之事，则非本人所能胜任，惟望天下仁人志士共起担负。” 黎的话说完，大家没有则声。于是黎又继续说：“目前拆曹锟大选之台，即须我方先能搭台，而搭台最要在组织政府，俾能号召一切。现在已商请唐少川担任内阁责任，请各省赞成。” 各省代表由汪兆铭起立致答辞，汪说：“各省对公个人皆极仰佩，去年直系拥公上台，各省所以不一致赞成者，因法律上所见不同，且灼知直系毫无诚意，故今年六月十三日之事，早在意料之中，今公个人跋涉南来，深感公之为国宣劳。至于组织政府一事，事关重大，各代表事前毫未知情，也未有所准备，自当慎重考虑，电告本省，请示可否？然后奉复。” 汪的话讲完，各省代表一致表示同意，于是黎这次组织政府的谈话会以不了了之结束。 黎元洪在上海不得意，因为大家不仅没有把他当做总统看待，反看他为祸水。只不过收到了云南唐继尧和东北张作霖的两封书，还尊他为总统，算是差强人意。其实军人实力派仅仅以秀才人情纸一张表示拥戴，对于形同丧家之犬的黎大总统又有何用？ 唐继尧给黎元洪函如下： “大总统钧鉴：自京师告变，大驾移津，薄海人民，同深义愤。所有报载经过情形，暨奉到宣示中外各电，不胜发指。只以僻在遐方，形势阻隔，特通电各方，暂息纷争，迎驾回京，主持大政。一面准备实力，纠合同志，声讨国贼，以奠邦基。正在积极筹备，适吴君斋厚至滇，颁到手谕，并转示一切。自当擐甲誓师，恭行天讨。同时接到沪函，拟设国务院，并开联省会议执行任务。窃念强藩毁法乱纪，暗干大位，内为国民公敌，外失国际同情，此正天亡逆虏之时，诚宜别组机关，号召天下。惟年来国事纷扰，迭起旋生。议战议和，迄难解决。皆无彻底之办法，无坚确之主张，以致连岁蹉跎，迄无成效。继尧惩前毖后，以为此次戡乱之方，宜注重实际，不尚虚声，各方如能协定方略，同时并举，则天下不难定也。所有愚见，正在派员赴沪详备，谨肃芜缄。托吴君先行赍上。伏乞睿鉴！并叩崇安。云南省长唐继尧谨呈。” 张作霖给黎元洪函如下： “大总统钧鉴：敬肃者，窃作霖自愧才力绵薄，早有归田之愿。乃以三省父老重相付托，不得不暂为维持，以尽桑梓义务，故年余以来，纯以地方自治为主，对于南北政潮，未便闻问。前者六月十三日之变，若辈威逼元首，劫夺印玺，一切非法行为，纪纲何在？人神同愤。又加杨议员振春、韩秘书玉宸奉命来奉，责以讨贼，霖虽不敏，略知春秋大义，自应即时筹备，期尽天职。旋以当时所议，群力合作各办法，接洽未熟，又因钧座南临无期，不免略有停顿。然霖救国之筹备，无日不在进行之中，决不能稍存观望，坐视国家沦亡也。鲍前总长贵卿两次来奉，霖咸以钧座复职，惩办祸首，为第一条件，讵彼一味敷衍，毫无悔祸之念。将来义师奋兴，不改初志。兹闻钧驾南临，凡我军民，曷深欣幸。赵司令杰此次南行，对于粤赣大局，颇有计议，一切详情，统由面陈。肃此。敬请崇安。张作霖谨呈。九月十四日。” 唐继尧和张作霖虽是实力派，但他们不会竭诚拥护黎元洪，他们只是不愿意直系真正成为中央力量，因为直系尤其是吴佩孚，最大的野心就是武力统一中国，也就是要消灭其他的力量，所以他们想拉拢黎元洪反直系，又不愿真的拥戴黎元洪。 黎元洪不是一个有策划和组织力量的人，若他在这时候能纠合所有反直系的力量，未始不能阻止曹锟的贿选，惜他无此能力，所以不能创造形势。 另一件令黎元洪气沮的，是在国会议员方面。就在9月13日（12年）黎招待各省代表碰壁的当天，南下的国会议员在湖北会馆召开谈话会。黎元洪以大总统身份对国会咨文，他将已准备好的两道命令函达国会，请求同意： 一、准李根源辞署阁职； 二、任命唐绍仪为国务总理。 黎同时通知议员们，准备前往报告一切。在黎看来，南下议员集会不能没有总统和内阁，否则议员集会失去了意义，这比和各省代表谈话要有利得多，他相信议员们一定欢迎他。 怎知事情的发展使黎大出意外，在议员谈话会中，国民党籍议员张继竟声色俱厉地指责黎元洪，认为他误国，依附军阀，不顾国家民族大义，只求一己利害。因此他郑重宣布，国会中如果再有文电称黎元洪为大总统，他本人坚决不予承认。现在中华民国已经没有大总统了。国会中原来设有的大总统席位，亦应立即撤去云云。 张继的挡驾，使得国会空气为之一变，议员褚辅成、黄云鹏、吴渊、谷思慎等，见情势不佳，深怕黎元洪来了之后受到难堪，同时南下议员对黎元洪并无好感，于是赶快打了电话去通知黎，请他不要来出席国会。 就在这一天，黎又遭受到第三个打击，那是淞沪护军使何丰林所出的一个布告，内云： “为布告事，照得近来时局不靖，谣诼繁兴，沪上为华洋荟萃之区，中外观瞻所系，本使负有地方责任，早经迭次宣言，抱定保境安民宗旨，始终不渝，所冀闾阎安堵，匕鬯不惊，用慰中外商民之喁望。诚恐流言传播，摇惑人心，市虎杯蛇，为患滋大，用特剀切布告，俾众周知，倘有破坏秩序，扰乱治安之行为，无论何人，概予拿办。本使为维持地方安宁计，决不能稍示姑容，仰商民人等，各安生业，勿得轻听谣言，自相惊扰，切切此布！” 黎元洪自离湖北北上后，将近十年，虽然宦场并不得意，可也能游刃于中国第一人第二人之间。这次是他北上后，首次南下，他抱了极大希望南下，怎知却是乘兴而来，大失所望。一遇江浙人士的婉拒，二受各省代表的太极拳，三遭议员的指名攻击和不承认其总统地位，四被地方军事首长指桑骂槐地搞了一下。这四重打击，可真把黎元洪打得头昏眼花。 黎元洪因人成事，时势造英雄，可是在军阀短兵相接，总统自为的局面下，其政治生涯遂逐渐走上日暮途穷之路了。
