Chapter 9 Section 9 Liang Qichao is very imaginative

With the sound of gunshots in Wuchang, the court immediately held an emergency meeting.At the meeting, someone proposed to use Yuan Shikai to pacify the situation in Wuchang, but this proposal was rejected by all votes—this Yuan’s big brain drove him away after a lot of difficulty, so how could he be invited back? However, they never expected that the troops sent by the imperial court to suppress the Wuchang revolution would stop at Xiaogan for no apparent reason, and they were ready to move.Now the imperial court was terrified, and hurriedly went to the British Minister Zhu Erdian to ask the imperialists to uphold justice.

Zhu Erdian said: This matter is simple, you obviously have Yuan Shikai, as long as you let him come out to preside over the work, the problem will definitely be solved. The imperialists had spoken, and the court had no choice but to issue an edict to let Yuan Shikai, a retired veteran cadre, come out of the mountain. After receiving the edict, Yuan Shikai immediately called the idlers who were eating at his home to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.The participants included: Wang Xitong, Yang Du, Duan Zhigui and Ruan Zhongshu.All the people at the meeting agreed that the Qing court was dead and there was no way out, so this edict must never be followed, so just pretend that you didn't receive it...

What if I didn't receive it?So Yuan Shikai ordered his secretary, Ruan Zhongshu, to immediately write a thank-you note, which was full of ramblings and digressions, neither saying he accepted the imperial edict nor saying he would not accept the imperial edict, which made the Qing court confused and painful. . Ten days after the Wuchang Uprising, Yuan Shikai's close friend and cabinet member Xu Shichang went to Huanshang Village to discuss secretly with Yuan Shikai behind closed doors.As a result of the deliberations, six requests were made to the imperial court: Article 1: Congress next year.

Article 2: Organize the responsible cabinet. Article 3: Tolerate the Wuchang uprising personnel, and do not settle accounts after the fall. Article 4: Lift the party ban. Article 5: Let Yuan Shikai take over the military power, and give him a lot of military expenses, otherwise he will not be given work. Article 6: Call Yuan Shikai's little brothers Wang Shizhen, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xiluan, Ni Sichong, Duan Zhigui, Yuan Naikan, etc. to go to war together. The first two of these six articles were repeated petitions by the courtiers and the Advisory Bureau, asking the Qing government to do something.However, the Qing government refused to obey and resolutely refused to do anything. Now that the regime is collapsing, it has no choice but to make concessions.

Yuan Shikai led the Beiyang elite to go out together, and formed a confrontation with Li Yuanhong, the fat boy of Wuchang.From this, there will be three people strategizing, laying out the world, and deciding the Central Plains. It was Liang Qichao, a master of Chinese studies, who was the first to make a move to lay out the world. Liang Qichao is not only a master of Chinese studies, but also a master at making up nonsense.As early as when the old lady Cixi had just died, Liang Qichao and his teacher Kang Youwei lit a lamp to cook oil, wrote a memorial to the Qing government, sued Yuan Shikai for a black case, and asked Yuan Shikai to be punished.

There are three accusations fabricated by Kang and Liang masters and apprentices against Yuan Shikai: first, they lied that the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 was all due to Yuan Shikai's mischief.Because Yuan Shikai wanted to encircle the Summer Palace and kill the old lady Cixi, so... Actually, Kang Youwei came up with this idea, but at this time he forced Yuan Shikai's head to be buckled. The second lie fabricated by Kang Liang and his disciples to Yuan Shikai was that Yuan Shikai was the mastermind behind Yiyi and the Boxers, and that even the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces was done by Yuan Shikai.This nonsense is obviously too outrageous, and no one believes it anyway.

The third lie fabricated by Kang and Liang masters and apprentices to Yuan Shikai was that the defeat of the Qing navy in the Sino-Japanese War of Jiawu was all due to Yuan Shikai's mischief. If Yuan Shikai was not killed, the country would have no peace. In short, Liang Qichao is very imaginative.
