In order to stabilize the morale of the army and cut off everyone's idea of withdrawing from Wuchang, Zhang Zhenwu even cut the ground with a saber when he spoke, and pointed out: "Wuchang is an important place for military affairs, if you don't defend it, the southeast will shake, the wind will be invincible, the enemy is current, there are those who dare to abandon Wuchang, behead!" ”

After the meeting, Zhang Zhenwu galloped and raised his flag in anger despite his injuries, and shouted along the street: "Hanyang is not defended, it is my strategic retreat, Wuchang is foolproof!" "This move is quite reassuring to the people.

These responsibilities and deeds made him deservedly respected as the father of the republic, and he was called the "Three Martial Arts of Xinhai" along with Sun Wu and Jiang Yiwu.

Zhang Zhenwu's murder was mainly due to his conflict with Li Yuanhong.

Li Yuanhong was not a revolutionary, but was dragged down this road by the insurrectionists.

Among the people who forced Li Yuanhong to "Liangshan", Zhang Zhenwu was also one of them. Speaking of which, without this step, how could Li Yuanhong have gained fame and fortune later. It is said that he should be grateful to Zhang Zhenwu and others who forced him onto this path, but Li Yuanhong does not think so. This can't all be blamed on Li Yuanhong, because Zhang Zhenwu, who regards himself as the hero of righteousness, looks down on Li Yuanhong from the bottom of his heart.

From the beginning, Zhang Zhenwu did not have a good impression of Li Yuanhong.

Perhaps, Li Yuanhong's transformation from a high-ranking official of the Qing court to the road of revolutionary rebellion requires a process of transformation in any case. Perhaps, if you are pushed to such a high position all of a sudden, you must always be humble and polite. You have made me a governor, and will anyone listen to me? Do you need to talk about some conditions?

Whatever the reason, anyway, after the Wuchang Uprising, Li Yuanhong was elected as the military and political officer. When he was the governor of the prefecture, Li Yuanhong did resign several times.

This made Zhang Zhenwu extremely angry. In his opinion, what's so great about you Li Yuanhong? Revolutionaries look up to you like this, you should be sincerely afraid, and be grateful to Dade, how can you push three or four? Seeing that Li Yuanhong was not angry, Zhang Zhenwu once proposed to behead Li Yuanhong for public display, so as to alert the world and inspire people.

Zhang Zhenwu did not deliberately avoid people when he said this, and this remark quickly reached Li Yuanhong's ears, can Li Yuanhong not hold a grudge against Zhang Zhenwu?

Some people say that a very important aspect of the contradiction between Li Yuanhong and Zhang Zhenwu should be attributed to Zhang Zhenwu's character. Zhang Zhenwu is frank and upright, but he is extremely arrogant. Especially in public, he often ridiculed Li Yuanhong, and despised Li Yuanhong, the governor.

"Didn't we push you out that day, can you have the majesty you have today?" These are the words that often hang on Zhang Zhenwu's lips.

To be sure, this is very difficult for Li Yuanhong to bear.

For a period of time, although Li Yuanhong was the vice president and governor of Hubei, the main military generals in Wuhan at that time were actually Sun Wu and Zhang Zhenwu of the Communist Advancement Association and Jiang Yiwu of the Literary Society, known as the "three martial arts" of Shouyi. With the existence of these "three martial arts", the power of Li Yuanhong, who was put on the throne of "Governor", is very limited.

Li Yuanhong and Zhang Zhenwu have a growing grudge against each other, and their faces and hearts are not in harmony, which is an open secret in the military. As the governor, although Li Yuanhong was angry in his heart, he was afraid of the "gun" in Zhang Zhenwu's hand, and he could only dare to be angry for a long time.

Zhang Zhenwu was a man who grabbed a gun, and there were more than 3,000 soldiers in the regiment of generals and regiments under his direct control, and the head of the regiment was his cronies, that is, the head of Fang Wei, who was killed at the same time as Zhang Zhenwu. This army only listens to Zhang Zhenwu, which is a piece of Li Yuanhong's heart.

Shortly after the victory of the Wuchang Uprising, the Heroes Incident occurred.

Sun Wu, the leader of the Communist Advancement Association, served as the Minister of Military Affairs of the Hubei Army. He is proud of his achievements, "he is the first to be the first to meet people", he is a self-styled "revolutionary father", and his style is domineering, and he likes to be arbitrary and arbitrary. Many important members of the Literary Society and the Communist Association feel excluded and inhibited. Huang Shenqian was an important member of the Communist Advancement Association, and he was quite famous in the party, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Sun Wu, so he contacted some other people who were dissatisfied with Sun Wu to plot against Sun.

Huang Shenqian (1884-1942), a native of Daye, Hubei, was a young man and a saint. In 1905, he organized anti-Manchurian groups such as the Harmony Society. In the following year, he joined the Hubei New Army, and was later admitted to the Special Army Primary School, and organized the Ethnic Research Society and the Hubei Army Alliance. In 1909, he joined the Communist Association and succeeded Sun Wu. The following year, he conspired with Li Liuru and others to respond to Jiao Dafeng's uprising in Changsha, and the incident leaked to Shanghai. After the Wuchang Uprising, he served as the second assistant commander of the guards of the Hubei Governor's Office. In 1913, he plotted with Zhan Dabei and others in Hankou to fight against Yuan, but was defeated and absconded from Wuhan. During the period of protecting the law, Lan Tianwei organized the Yasukuni Army in western Hubei and was invited to go. After failure, he went to Lushan to live in seclusion. After the outbreak of the 918 Incident in 1931, he went down to Shanghai to join the Anti-Japanese Salvation Movement and joined the Central Committee. Kuomintang. Give birth. Party. He died in Shanghai in 1942.

In February 1912, Huang Shenqian, Xiang Haiqian and others formed the "Reform Political Heroes Association" and plotted to overthrow Sun by force.

On the night of 27 February, the members of the Heroes Association headed by Huang Shenqian and Xiang Haiqian met with the teaching group formed by the 31st standard, the wounded soldiers' group led by the Literary Society, the general school group composed of uprising veterans, and the volunteer group composed of soldiers, gathering thousands of people. Wearing the badge of the Heroes' Association, they poured into the streets, shouting slogans such as "Hit Sun Wu" and "Hit the Minister of War".

Immediately surrounded the Ministry of Military Affairs and Sun Wu's residence on Dachao Street in Wuchang. Sun Wusun had received the news in advance and had fled from Hankou in a hurry. The Heroes Society and other congregations then destroyed Sun Wu's apartment and set fire to his house.

After the riots of the Wuhan Heroes' Association, Li Yuanhong ordered the disbandment of the generals, whom he regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, but without success.

He wanted to send a henchman to serve as the deputy commander of the regiment, trying to free this unit from Zhang Zhenwu's control, but the regiment refused.

He also ordered the regiment to be incorporated into the sixth town under the command of his confidant Wang Anlan, but was strongly opposed and forced to withdraw the order.

In the end, he tried to convert the regiment into an officer school, but he did not succeed.

After the founding of the Republic of China, the north and the south stopped fighting and began to dismantle their armies. The six brigades under the jurisdiction of the former military station, totaling more than 1,000 people, were ordered to be disbanded by Li Yuanhong.

Zhang Zhenwu reorganized this team into the escort team of the Military Affairs Department, and it became a unit under his own control. Such a self-respecting army by Li Yuanhong's side, so how can Li Yuanhong deal with it calmly.

What's more, Zhang Zhenwu had a lot of dissatisfaction with Li Yuanhong's administration, and often talked about "Hubei is not in good government, and we should make another revolution."

Between two people, there is another thing that has a deep grudge. During the peace talks between the north and the south, in order to prepare for the war, Zhang Zhenwu once took a huge amount of money to Shanghai to purchase arms.

Yang Yuru, Hubei's representative in Shanghai, telegraphed to Li Yuanhong, saying that Zhang Zhenwu "spends public funds and his equipment is not suitable."

Li Yuanhong sent people to check his accounts and telegraphed Chen Qimei, the governor of Shanghai, to monitor his activities.

Zhang Zhenwu returned to Hubei in anger and asked Li Yuanhong in person: "What qualifications do you have to check my accounts?" ”

Li Yuanhong implemented the division of military and civilian rule, and dismissed Gu Qingyun, a meritorious person in the Wuchang Uprising, and the director of the Metropolitan Police Department. Zhang Zhenwu was very angry, and wrote to Li Yuanhong to reprimand him sternly, making Li Yuanhong feel that Zhang Zhenwu was against him everywhere.

After the incident of the Heroes' Meeting, Li Yuanhong changed the Military Affairs Department to the Military Affairs Department, and the former directors and deputy ministers of the Military Affairs Department, Sun Wu, Jiang Yiwu and Zhang Zhenwu, were dismissed at the same time. Sun and Jiang both retired passively, and only Zhang Zhenwu did not do it. Unwilling to be a military adviser and strongly demanded to stay in office, Li was even more dissatisfied with Zhang.

Li Yuanhong initially wanted to transfer Zhang Zhenwu out of Hubei.

Ask Yuan Shikai to help, transfer Zhang Zhenwu as the "border envoy of the three eastern provinces", and let Zhang Zhenwu take his own men and horses and go far away.

Yuan Shikai began to agree.

But the revolutionaries are outsiders after all, how can Yuan Shikai let the revolutionaries be stationed behind him. On the pretext that the overall situation in the northeast has been decided, the southern army is not satisfied with the water and soil in the north, and other reasons.

Li Yuanhong and Yuan Shikai told the truth and asked Yuan Shikai to solve the difficulties.

It just so happened that after Yuan Shikai became president, he always wanted to suppress the military power of the southern revolutionaries, so he reached an agreement with Li Yuanhong on the attitude towards Zhang Zhenwu. Under the planning of Yuan Shikai's confidant and deputy chief of staff Chen Eun, it was decided to carry out a plan to divert Zhang Zhenwu and others from the mountain.

So Yuan Shikai, in the name of discussing the plan of founding the country, invited Sun Wu, Jiang Yiwu, Liu Gong, Zhang Zhenwu and other 16 founding fathers of the Republic of China to take up their posts in Beijing.

Zhang Zhenwu believed that it was true, and when he rushed to the capital with Sun Wu and others with great ambition, he did not expect that Yuan Shikai arranged all the false titles of military adviser to the presidential palace for the "three martial arts".

Sun Wu and Jiang Yiwu didn't say anything, Zhang Zhenwu was furious and accused in public: "I'm from Hubei and can only be a consultant?" ”

He asked Yuan Shikai to arrange a substantive position. Yuan Shikai had no choice but to appoint him as a Mongolian reclamation envoy to perfunctory.

Zhang Zhenwu believed it again and was very satisfied with this position, so he and Yuan Shikai implemented the funds and staffing.

Yuan Shikai also used the excuse of financial difficulties and is currently unable to raise funds.

Zhang Zhenwu returned to Hubei in a fit of rage. Set up a reclamation office in Hankou. Li Yuanhong was asked to provide 1,000 yuan a month to prepare to recruit troops to go to the Mongolian Tunbian.

Li Yuanhong is cutting the army, but Zhang Zhenwu is recruiting troops here, isn't this what he is doing with him? Who knows what the soldiers and horses recruited by Zhang Zhenwu are for? What if it is a mutiny against oneself, what kind of "second revolution"?

Isn't it a blatant bully to provide your own funds? I'll give you money to recruit troops to buy my life, who is the fool?

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, there is Zhang Zhenwu without himself, and there is no Zhang Zhenwu with himself. At this time, Li Yuanhong should have made a killing move.

However, Yuan Shikai became a good person and specially sent Hubei senators Liu Chengyu and Zheng Wanzhan back to Wuchang for mediation.

Liu Chengyu and others belong to the senators of the Republican Party in the Congress, and Zhang Zhenwu belongs to the democratic and social faction of the Republican Party.

Thanks to the efforts of all parties, Zhang Zhenwu and Li Yuanhong and other local military and political officials in Wuchang have at least superficially regained their peace.
