I have to say that although everyone can see that Cixi’s move is evil, it is an open plan, and since it is made, it is not afraid to let you find it.
When Zhao Dongyun received the imperial edict, he was also lost in thought. Did he avenge himself by Yuan Shikai and then went to the capital to overthrow the Qing Dynasty? Or should we catch the governors of the three northeastern provinces first and then slowly plan for the future?
Not only was he tempted, but Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen and Zhang Huaizhi all hesitated!
Chapter one hundred and eleven On the eve of the storm (3)
On October 6th, that is, the day when Yuan Shikai was stabbed, almost all foreign Beiyang generals have been doing the same thing, that is, preparing for war!
Fengtian, Zhao Dong, Yunshan, Hai, Duan Qirui, Baoding, Wu Fengling, Wang Yingkai, Shandong, Zhang Huaizhi, with one exception, all transferred troops, and this situation became more obvious after the death of Yuan Shikai on October 7.
On the evening of the 6th, he learned that Yuan Shikai had been assassinated and called the main generals of the troops. On the afternoon of the 7th, after learning that Yuan Shikai had died, Zhao Dong Yun immediately made the third town ready to enter and set up a temporary Fengtian Cavalry Association.
At the same time, he also went to the military camp non-stop to meet all the officers at the rank of team officer in Jinzhou, and also went to the ninth standard station in the third town to inspect the military camp to express condolences to the soldiers. According to later generations, Zhao Dong Yun cordially visited the officers and men of the ninth standard, expressed the cordial greetings of Beiyang Central Committee to the soldiers, and personally awarded medals to the soldiers who had achieved excellent training results.
By way of digression, is this medal or is it made of pure gold and engraved with the head relief of Zhao Dong Cloud?
Almost all day, Zhao Dongyun stayed in the military camp of the third town. In addition to not being tired, he kept inspecting the camps and meeting hundreds of middle and junior officers, and he kept making arrangements for many troops.
However, when Zhao Dongyun was ready to join several other Beiyang bosses to March into the capital, it was the news that Cixi agreed to build a province and ordered Zhao Dongyun to be the governor of the three eastern provinces.
Governor of the three northeastern provinces, this temptation is not small!
You know, in Zhao Dongyun’s original plan, he just wanted to completely control the three northeastern provinces. Just a few days ago, he planned to do the same. That is to rely on Yuan Shikai to stop Zhao Erxun from building the three northeastern provinces and postpone the timetable for building them. After two or three years of development, his strength and qualifications will be enough, and then he will promote the establishment of the three northeastern provinces and then seek the governor’s plan.
The original plan went smoothly, and a secret meeting made the court give up all plans to suppress Beiyang style. However, Zhao Dongyun did not expect that Yuan Shikai was assassinated the next day.
Yuan Shikai’s death means that all Zhao Dongyun’s previous plans have gone up in smoke!
Now the imperial court is here to stabilize itself. First, it is impossible to send out the whole three northeastern provinces. To tell the truth, it is impossible to be unmoved. However, this temptation is a veritable sugar-coated cannonball. Now the governors of the three northeastern provinces look very beautiful, but Zhao Dongyun has to accept a little to let the Qing court get through this difficult period. It is estimated that he will deal with the Beiyang generals separately. At that time, Zhao Dongyun will go home in addition to rebellion.
But now it’s not right to talk directly!
Once I enter the words, I will fight with Duan Qirui and Wang Yingjie. Even if the Qing court can win over Wang Shizhen and Feng Guozhang, it is inevitable that the three of them will jointly attack the Qing court and die.
However, now the question is, once the Qing court is destroyed, who will serve Beiyang then?
This question is not who will be the president, but who will be the Beiyang master!
Looking at the whole Beiyang, we have the ability to fight for more Beiyang owners. Actually, there are three people who rank first. The most likely one is Wang Yingjie, who is strong in strength and has the highest prestige. If he still takes the Beiyang generals to destroy the Qing court, then both Zhao Dongyun and Duan Qirui will have to hold their noses and admit that he is the heir to Beiyang.
However, will Zhao Dong Cloud and Duan Qirui let this happen?
It’s absolutely impossible for Wang Yingkai to be the heir of Beiyang, regardless of Zhao Dongyun’s promise not to promise Zhao Dong Yunshou a large number of votes. The Soviet generals must first promise not to promise their toes. Everyone wants to know that if Wang Yingkai is in the main position of Beiyang and then becomes president, or when the Beiyang War is appropriate, even if Zhao Dongyun doesn’t want to fight, the three towns of Jiangsu, Zhao Dongyun, will hold high the banner of Zhao Dong Cloud and the young Turks will start again.
If the former Beiyang was a whole and the Beiyang people pursued the overall interests, then now Yuan Shikai has split from it after his death, and the Soviet Union has become a whole interest alone, and this interest group is absolutely legal to accept Beiyang’s other appointment to the presidency.
Besides Zhao Dongyun, there is another Duan Qirui who is a sworn enemy of Wang Yingjie. If Duan Qirui can stand Wang Yingjie climbing to his head to shit and pee, he is not Duan Qirui.
At present, there is nothing to discuss whether the Beiyang generals will send troops or not.
Now the question is, who will be the boss of Beiyang once the army starts?
Wang Yingkai can’t, and Duan Qirui can’t either. Although Zhao Dongyun holds three towns, to tell the truth, he won’t send generals to him except General Su.
In Wang Shizhen, Feng Guozhang and Zhang Huaizhi, Wu Fengling and others are even more hopeless.
Well, there is also a civilian body, Xu Shichang. If it is peacetime, Xu Shichang is barely qualified to be a real president, but the problem is that it is not peacetime now. The civilian body in the Beiyang body, the core of this army, can be regarded as an auxiliary. The real bosses are all holding the Beiyang generals.
People’s mouth Beiyang bosses generally refer to military commanders such as Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui and Zhao Dongyun, not Xu Shichang and Zhou Xuexi.
Contemporary Beiyang can’t find a worthy successor!
The split of Beiyang is inevitable, even without Cixi’s move. The only difference is that if Cixi didn’t do these tricks, many factions in Beiyang would destroy the Qing court and split into wars. Now, after Cixi played these means, Beiyang split immediately.
Wang Yingkai, the headquarters of Baoding No.1 Town, looked angry. "He was so bold that Wang hired Qing. Isn’t it enough for him to resign now that most of the day has passed?"
"I think he has already taken refuge in the court!" The low man immediately said, "And Feng Guozhang, I think he has already forgotten Yuan Gong’s kindness and let him run past with a title!"
Wang Yingkai is in a bad mood!
During the day, he frequently exchanged secret messages with Duan Qirui and Zhao Dongyun. Although they didn’t say it, they also secretly agreed to start fighting according to the secret meeting of Yu. But at noon, after Cixi counted her lives, she was first cut off by her confidant Zhang Huaizhi. There has been no message from Shandong for more than six hours.
Subsequently, Shanhai Wu Fengling immediately announced that the dispute over Italy turned out to be a night to lead the second town to Jehol. This news made Wang Yingkai upset the table.
The only one who has kept pace with Wang Yingkai is Duan Qirui. Duan Qirui has sent several messages to each other, saying that he is ready to March into the capital as always in accordance with yuangong’s behest.
In addition, Zhao Dongyun, another big faction of Beiyang, was fine during the day, but in the afternoon and evening, according to Wang Yingkai’s arrangement of the third town, Zhao Dongyun was also shaken. Later, a large number of middle and senior officers were called again for an enlarged meeting, which was obviously to discuss the gains and losses.
When Wang Yingkai rushed to win over Beiyang factions in Baoding, the capital continued to surge!
First of all, when the Feng Guozhang court announced that it would give him too little protection, he was the first to thank him for choosing to take refuge in the court so happily. The reason is very simple. That is, the court reverted the jurisdiction of the former Beijing Banner Standing Army and the seventh town of the army to the War Department, in other words, it was handed over to him by Feng Guozhang.
This seventh town has been full of flag-bearer soldiers and chief officers, and there are also a large number of flag-bearers, all of whom are a large number of Beiyang offices!
In order to maintain the overall situation, Tie Liang came forward to woo the flag-bearer officers and soldiers. Naturally, there was not much problem, while the Beiyang officers were left to Feng Guozhang to appease and woo them one by one.
However, for several famous Beiyang officers, they can’t win over, for example, Cao Kun, who is wearing the same pants as Zhao Dongyun in the eyes of outsiders, has been under surveillance since Yuan Shikai was assassinated, and immediately after Yuan Shikai died, he was sent under house arrest by Tie Liang.
And as good as Zhao Dongyun, Zong Lian was a little lucky. Although he was also monitored before, on the afternoon of the 7 th, Cixi sneaked out of the house under house arrest after issuing a list of personnel orders, and then changed and boarded the train to Fengtian.
It’s definitely a danger for Cao Kun and Zonglian, who are branded with Su. It’s better than going to Fengtian early to take refuge in Zhao Dongyun.
Tie Liang and Feng Guozhang teamed up for two days to control the seventh town of the army. It can be said that they acted quickly. Of course, this is inseparable from Feng Guozhang’s contribution. Although their fame is not as good as that of Wang Yingkai and Duan Qirui, they are at least Beiyang bosses. They have never had an actual army before
Followed by Wang Shizhen, Wang Shizhen’s attitude from beginning to end has been very ambiguous, not only to Wang Yingjie and Duan Qirui, but also to worry about the Qing court. Otherwise, Feng Guozhang wouldn’t have transferred the first town to Beijing immediately after it was closed, even if Wang Shizhen suddenly turned against him.
On the evening of the 7th, the lights were still on. In the Hui Ci Church Hospital, Wang Shizhen looked at Yuan Shikai, who had been scrubbed and changed into a new official robe. Yuan Shikai was no longer in that majesty. This led the Beiyang generals to train from childhood step by step and made Beiyang the largest political faction in China. At this moment, it is just a cold body.
Wang Shizhen took a deep breath and muttered, "Now Beiyang is not the original Beiyang, my Lord. Don’t blame me!"
