Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Yuan Shikai is the Father of the Republic of China

If the hard-won Republic of China is compared to a child, then Yuan Shikai, the leader of Beiyang, is the father of the child, and Zhao Fengchang, the master of Shanghai Xiyin Hall, is the mother of the child. Let's talk about the child's father first.You know, as early as when the Empress Dowager Cixi was still alive, the imperial court had deliberately planned to take away the military power of the Beiyang Army trained by Yuan Shikai. Obviously, it was too dangerous for the empire to put the military power in the hands of a shrewd man like Yuan Datou. up.So the old lady Cixi transferred Yuan Shikai to the military aircraft department, ascended and descended secretly, and set up a military counselor's office to take the military power of Beiyang from Yuan Shikai and hand it over to Jiangning General Tie Liang.

With Yuan Shikai no longer having military power in his hands, the imperial court breathed a sigh of relief. But he never thought that Beiyang was trained by Yuan Shikai, and he was loyal to Yuan Shikai. Rao was lured by Tieliang high-ranking officials and confused by fame and fortune, but Beiyang soldiers were unmoved and determined to recognize Yuan Shikai alone.At that time, Tie Liang was in a hurry, so he came up with an unprecedented bad idea: Add sand! The students who graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy were preferred, and they were placed in the army to smash the iron plate of Beiyang.

After careful analysis, Tie Liang's move cannot be said to be a bad idea. Although Sun Wen's alliance has frequent activities in Japan, many Qing students studying in non-commissioned officer schools consciously keep a distance from the Revolutionary Party for the sake of their career prospects. So Tie Liang made good use of these people, and it made sense. But this is only the truth of Tieliang, but not the truth of the law of social development. The law of human society is that where there are people, there will be differences, conflicts, games, and disputes.As long as human nature does not change, this law will not change in another ten thousand years.

It is said that those overseas students who returned from studying in Japan were immediately reused after entering the army.This must have aroused the jealousy and hatred of the native-born Turtles in the army, so intrigues and intrigues, open and secret fights, quietly took place in dark corners that no one knew about.These conflicts and struggles cannot be heard by outsiders, and only the parties involved know best in their hearts—even though they are clear, there are sufferings. Because these conflicts of human nature are hidden and cannot be put on the table. Speaking out will make people think that you are hypocritical, that you are not capable enough, that you are not good at getting along with your colleagues, and that you cannot integrate into the team.

Specifically, those foreign students who were inserted into the army by Tie Liang'an, although they were all beautiful on the surface, they were always demolished, humiliated and plotted behind the scenes, and they had endless distress.This distress drives them to seek solutions to the problem. The only solution they can find is revolution! Damn it, just pick up the gun and kill those bastards who entrapped you behind their backs, hit them all over the place, and see how they can make things difficult for you in the future! The hidden psychological conflict and the hatred caused by the conflict made the overseas students quickly turn to the revolution, and unexpectedly, they became the main force of the 1911 Revolution.

Secret conflicts also constituted the characteristics of the bloody era of the 1911 Revolution. According to Mr. Zhang Renmin, an army student in Wuchang who participated in the 1911 Revolution and a veteran of the 1911 Revolution, he mentioned in his memoir "Reminiscences of My Participation in the Wuchang Uprising of 1911": ... On the night of the 10th, there were vibrations everywhere, and revolutions broke out at multiple points almost naturally.The students cheered thunderously, and immediately went back to the dormitory, picked up their full armor, and assembled in a team.At that time, none of the officers present were senior, most of them were at the company and platoon level.There are about ten groups of students in the whole school, less than a thousand people... During the chaos, most of the students from Jingzhou Banner took the opportunity to flee. There was only one named Chonghou, a first-year student, who was dragged out of the school by his classmates and stabbed several times with a sharp knife Throw the knife under the small river bridge outside the school gate...

...At this moment in Wuchang City, every house is closed, no pedestrians are on the road, and only soldiers come and go on the street.Moreover, the soldiers randomly searched and killed Manchu people with banner nationality, regardless of age, and their corpses littered the streets.Mr. Baoying, the school's military instructor, also died at this time!It is said that it was killed by Ma XX, a teaching assistant of the school.In short, the situation changed drastically at that time, human nature was violent, and because it was a national revolution, the slogan used was the four characters "Xing Han Mie Man". Therefore, in those three days, there were thousands of innocent people killed inside and outside Wuchang...

Looking at the memories of Mr. Zhang, classmates and classmates killed each other, instructors and assistants killed each other, why is this so? That's because the national revolution is just an excuse, a reason to open up the evil of human nature, the so-called tyranny of human nature.What drove this tragedy was all due to personality conflicts and disputes in daily interactions, but those conflicts and disputes cannot be put on the stage for discussion, but they can be completely resolved by taking the opportunity of the national revolution.
