⊙In April 1889, Sei Arao submitted a "Return to Order" to the Japanese General Staff Headquarters.This report believes that: Qing Dynasty's "corruption from top to bottom has reached the extreme, discipline is lax, officials are selfish, and the foundation of the ancestors is completely ruined."However, China and Japan "protect each other with lips and teeth, and rely on each other with auxiliary vehicles." Once the Qing Dynasty is not protected, Japan will be in a dilemma. "The worries of the Qing Dynasty are also the worries of Japan." Therefore, Japan should preemptively strike ahead of the big powers.

⊙Zhang Zuolin once built a small brothel for his fifth wife Shou Yi in the Shuai mansion, opposite to his big brothel.After the Huanggutun incident, Zhang Zuolin spent the last few days of his life in the brothel. ⊙Shao Piaoping said to his family: "Zhang Zuolin bought me with 300,000 yuan. I don't want this kind of money, and I don't want to be shot!" Later he was shot by Zhang Zuolin. ⊙Hu Linyi served as governor of Hubei in his later years.Passing by the Yangtze River once, I happened to see the mighty Xiangjun navy sailing up the current, braving the wind and waves with sails.Hu Linyi was very proud and felt very refreshed.At this time, suddenly a British steamer quickly overtook the Hunan Army navy, and the waves caused overturned a Hunan Army ship.Hu Linyi fell off his horse, and the first thing he said when he woke up was: "The sky is about to change."

⊙When Lu Bicheng served as Yuan Shikai's confidential secretary, he often talked about Zen with the eminent monk Dixian.Monk Dixian said to her: "The debt should be repaid, and everything will be fine after repaying it; but since you know how hard it is to repay the debt, remember not to borrow it again." Lu Bicheng had a deep understanding, and later converted to Buddhism in Switzerland in 1930.

⊙After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Liang Hongzhi was imprisoned in Chuyuan.Sun Yaodong believed that he must die, because someone once told him that Liang Hongzhi "had a pair of 'pig eyes', and it was said in the photo book of this kind of person that his head should be 'over the iron'", that is to say, he would be decapitated.Sun firmly believed in this, but he didn't know what "pig's eye" meant.Ten years later, Sun was dispatched to the Maoling Farm in Anhui to raise pigs. Only then did he see the "pig's eyes". ⊙ On August 28, 1909, Fellazi, the charge d’affaires of the US Embassy in China, said: China’s excessive political reforms may get out of control. “The constitutional reforms of Yuan Shikai and Empress Dowager Cixi are being prepared by the Regent. He is clearly sincere. Indeed, it is quite possible that he felt powerless to swim against the tide and believe in going slowly, trying to reduce some of the risks. But unease about the introduction of representativeness in China is not limited to conservatives, some of the most enlightened officials, Because I understand the character of the Chinese people, I also worry that the constitutional movement may get out of control."Previously, the Japanese Ito Hirobumi also said: China's too fast political reform will lead to the subversion of the empire, and the revolution will happen within three years.

⊙After Duan Qirui was dismissed, Li Jingxi, the new prime minister approved by the National Assembly, refused to take office, claiming that Zhang Xuntong, the military governor of 13 provinces, was required to take office.So Li Yuanhong issued a presidential decree inviting Zhang Xun to Beijing to "mediate state affairs".After Duan Qirui learned about it, he said to his aide Zeng Yujun, "Li will definitely be fooled by this move." ⊙Speaking of Liu Shipei, Huang Kan once sighed: "There were three geniuses in the Qing Dynasty, all of whom died at the age of 36. In the early Qing Dynasty there was Kong Guangsen, in the middle there was Dai Wang, and in the late Qing Dynasty there was Uncle Liu Shen (Liu Shipei). It's a pity."

⊙ On October 3, 1926, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman got married in Beijing, and Liang Qichao was invited to witness the marriage.In front of all the guests, Liang scolded the bride and groom severely, and wrote to his daughter Liang Lingxian the next day, saying: "I did something I really didn't want to do yesterday. I went to witness Xu Zhimo's marriage. His The bride is Mrs. Wang Shouqing (Wang Geng), who divorced Shouqing after she fell in love with Zhimo. It is extremely immoral... I watched him find such a person as a partner, and I was afraid that he would suffer even more in the future, so I thought about it. That person (Lu Xiaoman) took a blow to the head, I hope she will come to her senses, so as not to kill Zhimo in the future, but I'm afraid it's just my crazy heart."

⊙Shi Youren, chief of staff of the 8th Division, said: The 73rd Army and the entire 46th Division that were destroyed at the silk-spinning mouth, if you add up the two characters of the designation, they are both the turtle ten of Pai Gow.The entire 74 divisions that Meng Lianggu destroyed had only one point in the designation. If they found these points in Pai Gow, there is no reason not to lose all of them.Look at our 54th Army again, 5 plus 4 is nine points, the 8th Division is needless to say eight points, the 36th Division 3 and 6 add up to nine points, how can it be invincible? ⊙During the "Double Ten" festival in 1912, Yuan Shikai awarded Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and other seven people "Grand Honors", and Huang Xing immediately replied and declined.Afterwards, Yuan Shikai sent someone to send the medal, order of honor, and the letter of commission of the army general to Shanghai together with several gifts and two British-bred jujube jade horses.Huang Xing returned everything, except for the two horses.His son Huang Yiou asked why, and Huang Xing said, "Because I will fight in the future."

⊙Zhang Zuolin's fourth wife Xu Shuyang's family is very poor, and he lives with his mother. Once he went to fetch water from a well early in the morning, Zhang Zuolin bumped into him and fell in love with him.After Xu Shuyang entered the commander-in-chief's mansion, he devoted himself to pursuing progress, studying culture hard, and attached great importance to the education of his children. Later, Zhang Xuesi, Chief of Staff of the Navy of the Republic, was her son, and another son, Zhang Xuezeng, later became a United Nations official. ⊙Xu Shichang once asked someone to tell his daughter's fortune, and concluded that "the master is rich and honored, and he should be the queen".If so, the future grandson will be the emperor.In order to achieve this goal, Xu actively arranged for his daughter to marry Puyi, and at the same time sent someone to discuss restoration with Zhang Xun, so that he could become the "assistant king" in the future, so that he could monopolize the court as the assistant king and head of state.It's a pity that Zhang Xun saw through his wishful thinking and seized the opportunity.

⊙Guo Xudong was kind to Wu Peifu when he was not making a fortune.When Guo returned to his hometown, Wu recommended Guo to be the Shandong salt transport envoy. Guo thought he was too young and said, "Aren't I good enough to be a governor?" So Wu recommended Guo to be the governor.Guo continued to make demands: "If I don't want to be the governor, I'll do it. If I want to, I'll show my face in Shandong Province. This is the glory of my ancestors." , He became ill and stretched his legs and passed away. ⊙On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in 1916, Yuan Shikai, who had been emperor for fifteen days, was eating Lantern Festival.Three concubines argued in front of him because of the titles of "concubine" and "concubine".Yuan Shikai sighed, and said, "Stop making trouble! You all have to go back to Zhangde, and wait to send my coffin back together!" After speaking, he went back to the office. ⊙Before Zhang Xun initiated the restoration, he and Kang Youwei asked about good and bad luck with the shaman, and the shaman appeared in Du Fu's poem "Meet the king again when the flowers fall".But when is the "blossom season"?So he came up with Li Bai's poem "Plum blossoms fall in May in Jiangcheng".Zhang Nie calculated that the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 1917 was between the end of June and July of the Gregorian calendar, so he decided to launch the restoration on July 1.After the failure, Zhang Xun thought that seeing Pu Yi this time, "meeting the king again" was correct, but he didn't consider the fate of "Luo Meihua", and blamed himself for not fully comprehending the divine will, which caused this mistake. ⊙In order to marry Song Meiling, Chiang Kai-shek asked Chen Jieru to leave China temporarily for five years.In order to get Chen to agree, Jiang made an oath in front of the Buddha: "I swear, from the next five years, I will restore my marriage relationship with Jieru. If I violate it, I pray to the Buddha to kill me and smash my Nanjing government to pieces. If I For failing to fulfill my responsibilities to her, pray to Buddha to overthrow my government and exile me out of China, never to return." ⊙Tang Jiyao was young and lonely. According to legend, there was a pond in his ancestral hall. Before Tang Wei was alive, there were frogs in the pond. When the weather was fine, they often came out of the pond and jumped on the land.When Tang was born, the water in the pool was thundering, and the frogs disappeared. It is said that Tang is the rebirth of the god frog, and it will be extraordinary in the future. ⊙Huang Xing was born on September 16th in the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, October 25th in the Gregorian calendar.Throughout Huang's life, the important experiences are all related to October: he was born in October, died of illness in October, the great cause of revolution succeeded in the Wuchang First Uprising on October 10, and fell ill on October 10, which can be said to be a very coincidental. ⊙After the Xi'an Incident, Soong Meiling ventured to Xi'an to rescue Chiang Kai-shek.When Jiang saw Song, he read to her a passage from the "Bible" he had read in the morning: "The Lord will do something new, and he will make women guard men." ⊙Huang Kan often said: "I don't write books before fifty." In 1935, Huang Kan's fiftieth birthday, Zhang Taiyan personally presented a pair of couplets: Wei Bian Sanjue knows his fate now, and Huang Juanchucheng is good at writing books.Inadvertently coincided with the words "Desperate Book".On October 8 of that year, Huang Kan died of vomiting blood due to excessive drinking.Zhang Taiyan's words became a prophecy, and he regretted endlessly. ⊙When Zhang Zhidong was the governor of Huguang, he was going to Beijing on a certain occasion, and his staff hosted a banquet at the Yellow Crane Tower for him to farewell.After Liang Dingfen learned about it, he objected to his going to the banquet, and explained: "You must never go to the Yellow Crane Tower! Didn't Cui Hao, the predecessor, have a poem saying that 'the yellow crane will never return once it is gone, and the white clouds will be empty for thousands of years'?" Don't you imply that you will never return to your post after going to Beijing?" Zhang Zhidong nodded after hearing this, and decided not to attend the banquet. ⊙A friend once said to Li Shutong: "As soon as Manshu became a monk, you literati, who were the first to develop sentimentalism, believed that life is a tragedy, suffering and impermanence." In June 1918, the 17th day after Su Manshu's death , Li Shutong shaved his hair and became a monk at Hupao Temple in Hangzhou, named Master Hongyi. ⊙Zhang Zuolin's fifth wife, Shou Yi, whose father was Shou Shan, a general in Heilongjiang, was born to Shou Shan's concubine.After Shoushan's death, the mother and daughter were excluded.Mother Wang is very strong, so she pins her hopes on her daughter and saves money for her daughter's education, hoping that she will become famous one day.Shou Yi is very competitive. He was excellent in character and learning in middle school, and was selected by the school to speak at the graduation ceremony.It happened that Zhang Zuolin came to the graduation ceremony, and not long after that, he married Miss Shou into the mansion. ⊙Lu Bicheng ran away from home because of being scolded by her uncle Yan Fengsheng. When she became famous, her uncle was "impeached and resigned due to incidents". Yuan Shikai even asked him to assist his niece in preparing for the establishment of a women's school.Strictly ashamed, but he had no choice but to "suffer and obey".Lu Bicheng later wrote in his recollections: "It is all thanks to my uncle's scolding that Yu Zhi became self-reliant until today."
