What should have come is still coming.

Since August 14.

Under the secret instruction of Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai's chief staff Yang Du and Yang Huizi, together with Sun Yuyun, Li Xiehe, Hu Ying, Liu Shipei and others, established the 'Preparatory Security Association', vigorously advocated the monarchy, and openly carried out activities to restore the imperial system.

The Beiyang military and political dignitaries, Duan Zhigui, Yuan Naikuan, Liang Shiyi, Zhu Qichao, Zhou Ziqi, Ni Sichong, Wang Zhanyuan, Long Jiguang and others carried out activities one after another to support Yuan Shikai's proclamation as emperor.

But Yuan Shikai will not forget the trick of the ancients of 'three persuasions and three resignations', and rejected them on the grounds of 'untimely'.

October 16th.

It was the morning of the same day that 1,933 delegates unanimously approved the "proposal to change the republic system to a monarchy," all agreed to the constitutional monarchy, and presumed that the Senate was the general representative of the National Assembly, and Yuan Shikai was the emperor of the Chinese Empire.

After Yuan Shikai accepted the request for the throne, he immediately became an official and became a knight, changed the presidential palace to Xinhua Palace, and issued a commemorative gold and silver coin with his head and dragon as the design, preparing to officially ascend the throne on New Year's Day in 1916.

The conference hall of the Shanghai Overseer's Palace.

After several days of discussions, the Baath Party decided not to wait for the reaction of other political parties and organizations this time, and was ready to launch a telegram against Yuan Shikai's restoration.

After returning to China, Jiang Fangzhen had already secretly gone to the camp in Jiujiang after holding a seminar on the European war in Shanghai, where there was also an army affiliated with the Baath Party, which controlled Jiujiang and Lushan, and there were also a large number of military forces in the name of merchant escort in the industrial park near Nanchang.

Jiangxi overseer Li Chun has been working hard to pull out the power of the Baath Party over the years, but the power of the Baath Party has penetrated into all aspects of Jiangxi, not only failed to succeed, but suffered several small losses in several battles, so everyone is safe.

Sun Hongye secretly went to Fujian to serve as the commander of the Southern Military Region, and was expected to be in charge of the war in Guangdong.

After several years of dormancy in Harbin, Han Sanlin was finally activated, but the army was gone, and he led a group of officers trained in Harbin to Xuzhou to take over the escort of the merchant group of Li Zhantang (Li Luqing's cousin), the representative of the Xuzhou representative of the Baath Party.

Sun Zhiheng of the Northeast Army was temporarily unable to move, and he had to defend against the Japanese Kwantung Army in Goryeo and temporarily garrison the Yalu River.

On November 25, the Southern Route Army was completely familiar with the Japanese army's defense, tactics and military strength, so it no longer retained its strength, launched a thunderous blow in Lushun, and after three days of life-and-death battles, took Lushun and the surrounding batteries, the Japanese army knew that it was invincible, and more than half of them boarded the naval warships and retreated to Shandong.

After the war, Li Jinxu also became the first major general of the army, Zhang Xiaozhun was promoted to colonel, which has surpassed most of the old officers of the Baath Party, and now Jiang Fangzhen, the chief of the general staff, is only a lieutenant colonel.

December 1.

Under the auspices of Gu Weijun, the press spokesman of the Baath Party, Chen Xuan held a grand press conference in Shanghai, vigorously opposing the restoration of the imperial system by the Beiyang regime, turning back the clock on history, ignoring the sacrifices of countless heroes and martyrs, calling Yuan Shikai a sinner through the ages, and the Baath Party would not let the Yuan Shikai group succeed even if it fought to the death.

This is also the first time that Chen Xuan has held a press conference of this scale, so I thought that Chen Xuan was going to move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

At the same time, Chen Qimei, the overseer of the Shanghai Overseer's Office, announced his separation from the Beiyang government. Zhejiang, Fujian, Heilongjiang, and Jilin also responded one after another, breaking away from the Beiyang regime and exercising self-control, and Suiyuan and Mongolia provinces also responded one after another.

At the same time, Chen Xuan also announced the formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army, personally serving as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and the commander of the army, Feng Ru as the commander of the air force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and Yan Fu as the commander of the navy.

Since Beiyang didn't want the signboard of the Republic of China, Chen Xuan unceremoniously picked it up, appointed Cai Yuanpei as the temporary acting chief executive, and Song Jiaoren as the temporary acting chief executive, and at the same time telegraphed the whole country, inviting the powerful factions of various provinces to send representatives to Shanghai on December 15 to discuss the state of affairs.

At the headquarters of the three armed forces in Shanghai, except for some people who could not get out, all the senior officers were present.

"Marshal, all the high-level officers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, except for some personnel, are all the officers on the list!"

Since Jiang Fangzhen, chief of the General Staff, had gone to Jiujiang, the meeting was presided over by Chen Qicai, the general political commissar, and the Northern Expeditionary Army was formed.

"Yes!"

The officers stood up and saluted in unison, and those who did not show up received their certificates of appointment.

"All military quartermasters vigorously reorganize the troops, train diligently, and report to the quartermaster department in time if necessary.

"Yes!"

All the officers stood up and saluted in unison, and their tones were sonorous and powerful.

After the appointment of the corps commander and the dispersal of the crowd, Chen Xuan was ready to form his own East China Command, and at the same time adjust the senior officers in each major theater.

The East China Command has four armies under its jurisdiction, with a total of more than 80,000 troops.

Chen Xuan was appointed commander of the East China Theater, Li Yuqing was transferred to the post of chief of staff of the East China Station Region, and Chen Qicai concurrently served as political commissar.

Tan Fangcheng, commander of the First Army, has three infantry divisions, an artillery regiment and a logistics battalion, totaling more than 20,000 people.

Qin Yuan, the commander of the Second Army, when the Baath Party did not plan to enter Suiyuan, it was Qin Yuan who led some of the soldiers who had been laid down to enter Suiyuan and control the major cities in Suiyuan.

Li Qingquan, commander of the Third Army, and Qi Baicheng, commander of the Fourth Army, had the same establishment as the First Army, and at the same time, there was also a light tank division and a vehicle-mounted artillery regiment in the East China Theater, as well as a heavy battalion.

Before Chen Xuan returned home, he was dragged to Du Yuesheng, Zhao Xuechu, Sun Zhiheng, Ye Zhongyu, Gu Weijun, Yu Youren and others to the small villa where Du Yuesheng lived, which was the birthplace of the Baath Party, and had long been bought as a cultural relic.

"Sleep on what? Yiyang, can you imagine that it was here back then, that is, the seven of us formed the Fuxing Society, can you imagine that today, 7 years later, our Baath Party has more than 100,000 party members, 700,000 troops, and the world's top air force, which is not weaker than the navy of the Beiyang Naval Division?

Sun Zhiheng also applauded and shouted.

"The former powers didn't take us seriously, and now I have become a guest of honor of the great powers。。。。。。"

"Wait, wait, are you doing this today?"

Before Gu Weijun could finish speaking, Chen Xuan interrupted them.

"Huh! Yiyang, we have developed from a small Fuxing Society to the second largest party in China, and we have established a series of industrial systems from this industrial desert, as well as our own political power and finances, and saved thousands of people, why are you not excited at all? ”

Zhao Xuechu said strangely.

"I'm tired! After three days of meetings, I want to sleep! ”

Chen Xuan lamented.

"What are you sleeping, happy today, it's rare that all seven of our Fuxing Society are here, of course, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Sun Zhiheng drank, and others also chimed in, Chen Xuan knew that he couldn't escape.
