Famous saying: Chinese people don't worship the sky, and they don't worship Confucius, so what's the point of leaving this knee Zhang Zhenfang (1863-1933), a native of Xiangcheng, Henan, was admitted as a Jinshi in 1892 and has been serving as a low-level official in Beijing.After the Revolution of 1911, he was appointed Governor of Henan by Yuan Shikai, but was dismissed due to his ineffective suppression of peasant uprisings.After Zhang Xun was restored, he was entrusted with important tasks. Lei Zhenchun (? ~ 1919), a native of Suzhou, Anhui, joined the New Army in his early years, and moved to the Jiangbei Admiral and the commander of the Army Haiqi Town. In 1914, he served as the director of the Gyeonggi Military and Political Law Enforcement Department, and actively participated in Yuan Shikai's restoration of the monarchy.After Yuan failed, he participated in Zhang Xun's restoration.

⊙Zhang Xun's army is known as the "braided army". The number has always been small, but it has a distinctive brand and is unique among the Beiyang factions.Zhang Xun regards himself as an old man, and those who are active in this circle are firstly colleagues of the Beiyang warlords, and secondly, all kinds of old men. ⊙In November 1912, Yuan Shikai issued the "braid cutting order", but only Zhang Xun, who was stationed in Xuzhou, refused to implement it.Yuan awarded Zhang "General Dingwu" in order to get him to execute the braid-cutting order. Zhang Xun said to Zhang Xun: "Your kindness is unforgettable, and it is impossible to follow orders!" The special envoy went back and forth many times.Finally, Zhang Xun said: "Twenty years ago, when Zhang came to your president, didn't you repeatedly ask him to kill Daqing? Forgive me for not changing my original intention!"

⊙Feng Guozhang asked Zhang Xun to hand over Xuzhou, but was rejected.Zhang Xun said: "In addition to being the governor of Anhui, I am also a 'Yangtze River Patrol Envoy'. It stands to reason that Feng Guozhang's Jiangsu governor has to be under my jurisdiction, so it is reasonable for me to be stationed in Xuzhou." ⊙When the North and the South were negotiating peace, Yuan Shikai's subordinates persuaded Yuan to lure and kill Zhang Xun.Ruan Zhongshu, Zhang's brother-in-law, heard the news and said to Yuan: "Zhang Xun is a man. To tell the truth, he doesn't lie. If you want to achieve great things, you must use this person, and you have to make great use of it." Yuan Shen agreed.

⊙After Yuan Shikai’s death, Zhang Xun, the governor of Anhui, was in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, and Ni Sichong, the governor, was stationed in Bengbu, while the provincial capital of Anqing only left the nominal offices of the governor and the governor, dotted with three or five guards and adjutants who came and went .What's even more peculiar is that the provincial governor also has soldiers, known as Bang Shuai, who is as famous as Braid Shuai Zhang Xun. ⊙Zhang Xun said to Zhang Zhenfang: "Your surname is Zhang, and our father is also surnamed Zhang. Let's join the clan!" ⊙In the second revolution, Zhang Xun captured Nanjing and became governor of Jiangsu. Instead of flying the five-color flag of the Republic of China, he raised a big red flag with the word "Zhang" written on it at the gate of the governor's mansion.The military flag of the Republic of China is also not allowed to be hung, and the centipede flag with red and white borders is used instead.Officers have to wear the blue uniforms of the Qing Dynasty, and all soldiers have braids hanging down the back of their heads.He absolutely forbids using the word "Qian Qing" in official documents and orally.He brought back the original trumpeter and gunner in the governor's yamen, and played three times a day and fired three times a day.The large pillars and upper beams of the Dudu Mansion have been redecorated and all painted with the original vermilion.He restored the official system of the Qing Dynasty, such as the general office of tax donation, the general office of supervising sales, Daotai, magistrate, county magistrate, etc., and all of them used Zhawei.The county magistrate's yamen resumed the criminal name of the old master and the police, and the county magistrate sat in court to restore the torture tools.Officials, big and small, must first hand over their manuscripts when they visit the court. When they see the marshal, they must kneel down and salute.For a while, strange things appeared everywhere, which was called "semi-restoration".

⊙After Zhang Xun's restoration failed, everyone in the world scolded him, and his old friend Ruan Zhongshu stood up and tried his best to defend Zhang Xun.After hearing this, Zhang said: "I have been friends for half my life, and if I can get a loyal friend, I will die in peace!" ⊙Zhang Xun organized a "supervisor regiment" in Xuzhou, and he was the leader of the alliance. Whenever there was power generation, the princes of all parties responded unanimously.Once, Zhang found that Li Houji, the governor of Fujian Province, was missing, and couldn't help but shoot the case and said: "Li Peizhi (Li's character) what!" Li immediately sent an apology after learning about it.

⊙Zhang Xun has a daughter, who loves her very much. His subordinates and employers say that it is the fate of Mrs. Yipin.After hearing this, Zhang said, "Who knows it's not the queen's life?" ⊙Zhang Xun has always been close to the restorationists. His first wife, Mrs. Cao, sent his nephew Zhang Zhao to Guangzhou to present to Sun Yat-sen with a silver note of 300,000 taels. ⊙Before restoration, Zhang Xun was about to enter Beijing. He said to Li Genyuan, the governor of Shaanxi Province who was passing by Xuzhou: "My surname is Zhang. First, I will not be the president, second, I will not be the prime minister, and third, I will not be the governor."

⊙After the death of Empress Dowager Longyu, Zhang Xun called it a "national mourning" by telegram, and said: "Our president and government officials are all ministers of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years. Lu Yuchao." ⊙ Zhang Xun led his troops into the palace, pulled up the sleeping Puyi and made him enthroned.Concubine Jin and others thought it was wrong, so Zhang said: "You have to listen to me for today's affairs. If you don't follow, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!" When Cao Cao forced the palace, it was killing the empress and scaring the lord. I forced the palace today to embrace the emperor and ascend the throne, how can I generalize it."

⊙ On Zhang Xun's birthday, Gu Hongming wrote a poem by Su Shi and offered it: "The lotus is gone and there is no rain cover, and the chrysanthemum is still there." Gu asked Hu Shi: "Do you know what it means?" Hu replied: "'Ao Shuangzhi 'Naturally refers to the small braids of the two of you, and 'Qingyugai' refers to the big hats of the Qing Dynasty." ⊙When Zhang Xun was restored, Lei Zhenchun took refuge in Zhang Xun and was named "Shangshu of the Ministry of Army".Lei wore brand-new court clothes and took a motorcycle to the palace to thank him.After entering the palace gate, before the car stopped, Lei Zhenchun jumped out of the car, and fell more than ten feet away, his forehead was stained red.The guard hurriedly supported him, and asked: "Does it hurt, sir?" Lei Zhenchun actually replied: "If you feel happy, you don't feel pain."

⊙After the restoration, Zhang Xun sent Gu Hongming to the south to mediate.Before Gu got up, Duan Qirui led the rebel army and marched into Beijing.Gu had no choice but to ask Zhang Xun to resign, and Zhang scolded Gu for failing to entrust him.Gu Dunshou said: "Damn Hongming, please forgive me!" Zhang said: "You have failed the sage Hongen. From now on, I don't think you should be called Gu Hongming, but Gu Hongen!" ⊙One day during the restoration, an old farmer got off the train at Beijing Railway Station. He covered his face with a big cattail fan. When he got out of the station, four braided soldiers greeted him respectfully, and a carriage sent him directly to Zhang Xun. on the house.This old farmer is none other than the famous Kang Youwei.After the restoration, everyone joked that Kang Youwei and Zhang Xun were "two saints of civil and military affairs". ⊙After the successful restoration, Kang Youwei and Zhang Xun had dinner together.Zhang said to Kang: "My name is Zhang Xun, and I have established an inexhaustible honor recently." Kang said: "My name is Youwei, and I am also very promising today. And after my name, it is not only related to myself, but also to me. The country also has a special relationship. "The Doctrine of the Mean" has a saying: "The wealth of the world, the noble is the son of heaven." It is not obvious that there are two characters embedded in it, and the name of "youwei" is used for gang fights, which is derived from this." Zhang said : "You named it with the word 'youwei', do you still want to be the emperor?" Kang Lian shouted: "Don't dare! Don't dare!" ⊙ Zhang Xun likes the word "old".Zhang asked his subordinates to call him "Old Handsome"; Zhang called himself "Old Man" and called others "Big Brother", "Old Brother" and "Old Nephew"; "Old man", calling all colleagues "Old Tong Yin". ⊙During the Restoration, Zhang Xun was named "Prince Zhongyong". His concubine Wang Keqin regarded himself as a Fujin, and wanted to enter the palace to see Concubine Jin, but suffered from lack of a dress.Later, he borrowed a set of costumes from the famous actress Liu Xikui, and wore them to the audience. ⊙Xu Shuzheng first encouraged Zhang Xun to drive away Li Yuanhong.When Zhang Xun was restored, Xu told people that Zhang Xun was a stubborn old restorer, let him do it first, and our chance will come soon.Soon, Xu helped Duan Qirui organize a rebel army, and defeated Zhang Xun in less than ten days. ⊙After Duan Qirui organized the rebellion army, he sent a call for rebellion to the braided army stationed in Beijing.After Zhang Xun read the call to arms, he yelled at the case: "The courtiers are showing off their martial arts to the old master. Why is it not rebellious? They say that I, Lao Zhang, are rebellious. It's ridiculous!" So he ordered people to dig out the word "discuss" in the call to arms . ⊙When the rebellious army marched into Kyoto, Yuan Dahua (a well-known filial son who went to Xinjiang, Henan and other places to be an official, took his wife with him, and delivered three meals a day to his desk in person, bragging about soup and medicine) said that he could rely on "three inches" An Immortal Tongue" persuaded Duan Qirui and others.Yuan Zhi fought against the rebellious army, but was almost killed.After escaping back, Zhang Da scolded Yuan and said, "It's useless for you to talk big. I think from now on, don't call Yuan Dahua, call Yuan Dahua!" ⊙ Zhang Xun was restored and ordered all merchants and people in Kyoto to hang the dragon flag. Anyone who disobeyed would be sentenced to death.It was difficult for merchants to find dragon flags for a while, so they painted dragons on the five-color flags of the Republic of China to meet errands.Grabbing brushes hastily, some have no dragon eyes, some have not dyed dragon scales, and some have not painted five legs, just like a dead snake. ⊙At the time of the restoration, a certain newspaper called Zhang Xun the "Heavenly Master".It means to add a small braid on top of the word "Dashuai".One day, Puyi asked Zhang: "I heard that the newspaper called you a 'celestial master', what is the meaning?" Zhang told the reason.Puyi said: "But from now on I will call you Tianshi Zhang, is that okay?" Zhang replied: "Your Majesty is the Jade Emperor." Another minister said: "The Jade Emperor must have Zhang Tianshi to protect him." ⊙In order to protect their own safety, the ministers of various countries negotiated with Zhang Xun and asked him to leave the city.Zhang said: "Where did you come from, and where did you go?" It means to go back to Xuzhou's old nest.The minister discussed with Duan Qirui, but he refused.Zhang said: "President Li Da invited me back then, and now he is also asking him to take me back. I will start a negotiation with Li and make a judgment." ⊙Zhang Xun's braided soldiers fought against the rebellious army, and they were defeated again and again. In the end, only the Forbidden City was left alone.One day, a foreign reporter came to visit and saw Zhang frowning pensively, so he asked Zhang what he was thinking about.Zhang replied: "I am thinking about Zhuge Liang's strategy to retreat from the enemy with an empty city." ⊙In 1911, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Allied Forces defeated Zhang Xun and captured Zhang's concubine, Xiao Maozi.After hearing the news, Chen Qimei, the governor of Shanghai, planned to transport Xiaomaozi to Shanghai for an exhibition. ⊙When Zhang Xun was restored, there was a nursery rhyme in Kyoto: Marshal Zhang entered Beijing with eight thousand braided soldiers.The little emperor went to the palace, and the old guy went crazy.I had a dream for seven days, and my fart caught cold and collapsed. ⊙After the restoration of Zhang Xun, Tan Yankai, the governor of Hunan, was appointed governor of Hunan.After receiving the telegram, Tan Lianlian said: "Funny! Funny!" ⊙The restoration of Zhang Xun in 1917 lasted only 12 days. When Duan Qirui's "rebel army" attacked Beijing, less than 100 people died in the braided army. Braids of different lengths and thicknesses were abandoned everywhere. ⊙ Zhang Xun hid in the Dutch embassy, ​​and Wu Bingxiang, the chief police officer in Kyoto, went to see Zhang Xun.As soon as he saw Wu, Zhang asked: "How is the emperor?" Wu Jingtan replied: "What's the matter with the emperor?" Zhang Xun was silent. ⊙Qi, the governor of Jiangxi Province, was indebted to Zhang Xun. When Zhang failed, Qi sent a telegram to scold Zhang. After Zhang was pardoned, Qi sent a telegram to congratulate him.Zhang sent back the copy of Qi's telegram scolding him back then, with a note saying: "The me of this year is still the me of last year." ⊙Li Ruiqing, a Hanlin in the former Qing Dynasty, served as a Jiangsu Tixue Envoy and Quan Jiangnan Feudal Secretary.After the Republic of China, Li Zi, known as Qing Daoren, made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings in Shanghai, and his life was difficult.One day, Zhang Xun sent someone to give Li Wenyin 600 taels of silver, but Li firmly refused: "In the past, I could accept Zhang Xun's money, but now Zhang Xun receives money from the Republic of China, so I can't take this money." ⊙When Zhang Xun was about to be restored, he appointed Li Jingxi, an old bureaucrat, as the prime minister of the cabinet.Li wanted to lure Zhang Jian in, and sent a telegram to Zhang, with the sentence "Buddha goes to hell", urging Zhang to "go out of the mountain to save the world" with the spirit of self-sacrifice that the so-called Buddha went to hell.Zhang Jian replied: "If it's a real Buddha, it doesn't matter if you go to hell. You just become a Buddha for a while. Why do you have to drag me, a false Buddha, into hell with you? There are many people who wish to go to hell. I am old and stupid, and there is really no such thing." Great wishes!" ⊙Zhang Xun said: "Those who can achieve great things are all old men. I am over sixty years old, and it is time for a hero to use his force." ⊙When Zhang Xun was young, he was ordered by his master to give oranges to Xu Zhenyi, a local gentry.At this time, Xu's family was having guests, so Xu asked the servant to serve tea to the guest, but the servant was not there.When Zhang saw it, he brought tea to the guests instead.Afterwards, Xu Lian was exaggerated and clever. ⊙After Zhang Xun became the governor of Jiangsu, all soldiers had to wear braids.Moreover, when Zhang saw people with braids, he was happy, but when he saw people in suits and leather shoes, he hated them.For a while, braids became popular again in Nanjing. ⊙Zhang Xun, two soldiers with braids, took the first-class seat of the train. A foreigner asked them if they had a ticket. The soldier proudly replied: "Yes!" ⊙Every time Zhang Xun entertained guests, when the wine was hot, he sang "Empty City Plan", "Siro Visits His Mother", "Bumping the Stele", and "Forcing the Palace", and called himself "Xiaoyao Tian Er". ⊙Zhang Xun is in good health. In the cold winter months, other people wear cotton coats and furs, but Zhang only wears a jacket.Zhang said to others: "I have never been afraid of the cold, and I have never had a headache in my life, and I don't know what a headache feels like." ⊙After Zhang Xun developed, he took special care of the people in his hometown.The villagers in Chitian Village, Fengxin, their hometown, each built a big tile-roofed house, and they asked what they needed, and Zhang agreed.Jiangxi students in Beijing only need to ask Zhang for advice, food, drink, clothing, and everything is covered. ⊙For Zhang Xun's 70th birthday, please come to Beijing's famous actors Mei Lanfang, Yang Xiaolou, Yu Shuyan, and Sun Juxian who is over 80 years old.Zhang said in advance that he would be paid according to the performance level.In the end, Sun De received the most reward, which was 600 yuan.Sun said excitedly: "Those who understand opera, Zhang Dashuai! Those who know the music, Zhang Dashuai too!" When Zhang died, Sun cried and said, "Huang Zhong Dalu, I'm afraid I will die!" ⊙When Zhang Xun was stationed in Xuzhou, he recruited a fellow from his hometown as a copywriter.One time, a fellow villager failed to return home after the deadline.When he returned, the house had already been taken.The fellow villagers were furious and reprimanded the orderlies.Zhang Wenxun came and said to the orderly, "You throw his bedding outside the door." ⊙After Zhang Xun's death, the folks in Fengxin, Jiangxi commented that Zhang was a simple-minded man with a solid eye.
