Chapter 97 Chapter 12 The Most Secret Power Struggle

It is said that when Li Liejun arrived in Kunming, many students from the lecture hall went to the station to greet him.Staying at Yuantong Street, Tang Jiyao arrived, and the two sides began to discuss state affairs. During the discussion, Tang Jiyao suddenly broke the news that Cai E was on his way to Kunming. Li Liejun didn't know how to answer, Fang Shengtao, a party member accompanying him, said with a smile: He first entered Guanzhong Wangzhi, a strong general of Songpo, and a student of Liang Rengong, so he should be united with him. Fang Shengtao didn’t know how powerful he was, he said this a bit bluntly, meaning: first come, first served, first to eat, first to get fat, we came to Yunnan first, and Yunnan is ours.We will definitely lead Cai E well and let him do his job well... In short, that's what it means.

When Cai E arrived in Kunming, Tang Jiyao held a grand banquet in Wuhuashan Dudufu. The people attending the meeting included Cai E and Dai Kan who came with Cai E. Among the party members were Xiong Kewu, Dan Maoxin and Li Liejun from Sichuan, and the rest were all An important military general in the Yunnan Army.The matter is of great importance, and the dinner has not yet started, and everyone has already quarreled. What the two sides are arguing about is the question of the leadership of this uprising.But because there were many parties present at the meeting, all of them were wise people, and they all adopted a wonderful method to argue.People who don't know the inside story, even if they attended the meeting, don't know what everyone is arguing about.

At the beginning of the meeting, Cai E showed everyone a secret message. This secret telegram was taken by Liang Qichao and sent to Cai E, but Liang Qichao didn't have a transmitter at home, so he asked Beiyang Feng Guozhang to send it on his behalf. Cai E emphasized: This telegram shows Feng Guozhang's support for him. But in fact, Cai E did not tell the truth, but was fooling everyone.The telegram was indeed sent from Feng Guozhang's house, but Feng Guozhang himself didn't know about it at all.It was Hu Siyuan, Feng Guozhang's secretary, who conspired with Liang Qichao to send out telegrams against Yuan Shikai from Feng Guozhang's house every day without telling Feng Guozhang's knowledge, making the current situation complicated.

In the analysis materials so far, there is no precise analysis that can understand Cai E's words.Everyone simply thought that when Cai E showed this telegram and emphasized Feng Guozhang, he was saying that Feng Guozhang also opposed the imperial system, and Beiyang was not monolithic.In fact, except for the shrewd Li Liejun, the people present at the meeting didn't know Cai E's true meaning at all. Li Liejun heard it, so the quarrel began. After showing the telegram, Cai E couldn't talk much because of a throat discomfort, so he asked Dai Kan, who was accompanying him, to take out the telegram drafted by Liang Qichao in advance and read it to everyone.

Everyone listened, and said yes, this power-up is good, Liang Rengong is worthy of being a big hand, with courage... Then this thing is strange, with such a big hand and a bold figure, how can he be embarrassed in front of Yang Du? Amidst the applause, someone said: No, this power-on needs to be changed. Who is this speaker? There is no record in the historical materials, but it is definitely not Tang Jiyao's generals. On this occasion, it is not their turn to speak. Only Cai E, Tang Jiyao, Li Liejun and party members are qualified to speak. Using the method of exclusion, Cai E and Tang Jiyao would not change Liang Qichao's manuscript, and only party members could suggest revisions.

So, why did Cai E show the Liang Qichao telegram that Feng Guozhang forwarded to him?Why did the party members have to revise Liang Qichao's manuscript? As I said, everyone is vying for the leadership of the uprising. Cai E showed the telegram sent by Feng Guozhang. On the surface, he said that he and Feng Guozhang had a good relationship, but actually implied that he and Liang Qichao had a strong influence on the master-student combination, and even Beiyang gave them three points of face.And once Liang Qichao's appeal to Yuan was approved, Liang Qichao would actually become the leader of this challenge.For Liang Qichao, his career has reached its peak here.

He Liang Qichao has reached the peak of his life and career, so how can the party members mess around?The party members have been revolutionizing all their lives, and most of the time they competed with Liang Qichao, the Jun Xian faction. At the end of the contest, Liang Qichao flickered and turned to lead the party members' revolution. So the party members must change Liang Qichao's manuscript, even if only one word is changed, this can prove that the party members are leading Liang Qichao. The party members insisted on changing it, but Dai Kan insisted not to be fooled by saying that it was not a personnel change, but only changed a few terms.At the end of the argument, Li Liejun spoke.

He said: Mr. Ren Kecheng present here is a big writer. If you ask him to change a few words, Mr. Ren will not be dissatisfied, right? It was his words that won power for the party members and obtained the qualification to be on an equal footing with Cai E and Tang Jiyao.
