A major disagreement between the two sides occurred over external borrowing.

Nanjing Provisional Government. The government, which was almost unable to function due to its financial difficulties, tried to sign a loan contract with the Hua-Russia Daosheng Bank for a loan of 1.5 million pounds, secured by national tax revenues.

For many years, the Chinese people have long been overwhelmed by foreign debts and reparations. What power does the government have over the nation's tax revenue? When the Senate discussed the case, Hubei lawmaker Liu Chengyu angrily left the room, threatening to resign.

"Minsheng Daily" seized the opportunity to make a difficulty, and published a series of articles denouncing the Nanjing Provisional Government. The government and the League.

Li Yuanhong also called Sun on this matter. Middle. Shan: "The loss of the previous loan, my generation called for struggle, and the words are still in my ears. If you follow your example, why thank me for the Republic of China? ......" claims to be with the Hubei military and government. Fu: "I have been holding on to central Hubei for half a year, and I dare not say that I borrowed debts to offset taxes in order to mislead the people." "Expressed a firm opposition to borrowing.

On May 9, 1912, the Democratic Society, the United Party, the Republic of China Association, the National Association, and the Kuomintang merged to form the Republican Party, and Li Yuanhong was elected as the chairman of the board. The Republican Party has become the main force in the Senate that can compete with the League.

On July 14, the Hubei branch of the Republican Party was established, and Sun Wu was elected as the branch leader.

Originally, the revolutionary organization in Hubei was divided by the Communist Association headed by Sun Wu and the Literary Society headed by Jiang Yiwu, but now it has been replaced by the opposition between the Republican Party and the League.

Soon after, the "Heroes Incident" that we mentioned in the first volume took place.

On the surface, the "Heroes Incident" was directed at Sun Wu. At that time, Sun Wu's personal desire for personal interests was a little inflated, and his style was also very domineering, and he used the power in his hands to attack and exclude comrades who were revolutionizing together, and it was indeed a fact that all parties were dissatisfied with him.

But there are deeper problems with the "Heroes Incident". These people who joined the revolution had a common goal and a common pursuit, which was to overthrow the feudal rule of the Qing court. Under this big goal, everyone can join forces and take some joint actions. For example, the Communist Advancement Association and the Literature Society before the Wuchang Uprising.

But. Every organization, after all, is an independent organization with its own vision and aspirations. Therefore, in some ways, in some cases, these organizations united under a certain goal are likely to become antithetical existences.

In the same way, every individual who joins an organization fundamentally represents his or her vital interests. When everyone is working hard for the common good, everyone can also unite and take joint action. However, on the other hand, everyone is an independent individual, and when he devotes himself to a career, he will also have a personal purpose, personal yearning and pursuit, especially some people, and even have high expectations.

When these extravagant hopes are not satisfied after the victory of the uprising, they may harbor great resentment and anger against others. For example, in the "Heroes Club Incident", many people added this resentment and a lot of dissatisfaction to Sun Wu.

As it is often said, it is easy to share hardships and hardships, but it is difficult to share wealth and prosperity.

No move or change can meet all the demands of everyone. However, if things are handled as rationally as possible, various relationships are better coordinated, and problems are considered in a comprehensive and thoughtful manner, there will be fewer contradictions and conflicts, and the situation may be much better.

For example, the Nanjing Provisional Government. When the government was formed, if the first righteous heroes had been taken care of, it was very likely that the civil society would not have split from the alliance. If Sun Wu could handle the Hubei problem better, perhaps, "the Heroes Meeting incident would not have happened." ”

But. Nanjing's side did not do well, and the people's society was separated. Sun Wu did not do well here, and the "Heroes Incident" also happened.

Sun Wu got the news in advance and fled to Hankow. Afterwards, he found Deng Yulin and wanted to transfer troops to retaliate against the Qunying Society. However, the troops in the city were all deployed in the defense area, and the Wuchang front line was garrisoned by Huang Shenqian, the initiator of the "Heroes Incident", and there were no soldiers to adjust.

Later, through the mediation of wealthy Hankou businessmen Cai Fuqing and Li Ziyun, the conditions for a truce were reached.

First, the position of the governor remains unchanged, and everyone embraces it.

Second, the rebels returned to the camp and the shops reopened.

Third, Sun Wu resigned "by publishing an advertisement in the newspaper for a trip to recuperate with scabies".

On the one hand, Li Yuanhong approved Sun Wu's "recuperation and travel", and on the other hand, he reprimanded Huang Shenqian, the initiator of the "Heroes Association Incident". Because the impact was too bad and the loss caused was too great, he finally sent Huang to the sea for 5,000 yuan.

All the infighting, in fact, ended up being a lose-lose situation. In this incident, Li Yuanhong was still a beneficiary, and the power of the Grand Governor was greatly consolidated.

He took the opportunity to dismantle the Ministry of Military Affairs, which he had always regarded as a major problem in his heart.

The "Heroes Incident" alarmed the Nanjing Provisional Government. Mansion, Li Yuanhong called Sun for this purpose. Middle. Shan and various organs: "It is the same person in the military circles who submitted: Sun Wu of the Ministry of Military Affairs is not competent, please change it." Before the uprising of Chasun Wudang, he ran and called for a call, and he was still wearing Lao Xun. The military affairs of Dongguan are operated at great expense. Nearly exhausted, Cong Shi Yu, unwilling to be tired, long in the army, repeatedly asked for dismissal and recuperation. Although Yuan Hongyou was comforted, he did not add redundancy, and the minister's humble heart will eventually want to clean his body and retire to avoid the virtuous road. This request for a change not only shows the fairness of all comrades, but also fulfills the original intention of the minister. Yuan Hong did not force him to stay. It is now in accordance with the Provisional Government. The government telegraphed the ministry to be reorganized into a department, and Zeng Guangguang was appointed as the director of military affairs. ”

Sun Wu and some people in the Communist Association did not hate Li Yuanhong because of this, but recorded this account to the Literary Society, that is, the League Association. The original Communist Association and the Literary Society, and now the People's Society and the League Association, originally had a lot of grievances, but now, this resentment has become even deeper, and this has had a far-reaching impact on the situation in Hubei and even on the situation of the whole country. It's just that Li Yuanhong at this time is still in a state of support from both sides.

After Sun Yat-sen learned of the Wuchang telegram, he quickly called back and mediated: "Yesterday night, I received a call from Hubei Province: The comrades had a big conflict with Sun Wu, the Minister of Military Affairs. Although the reasons for this are not well understood, our people's army is committed to caring for our compatriots and preserving the overall situation. In addition, the minister did not fail to do anything at the time of the uprising, and I ask my comrades to forgive him in particular. In case there is something that cannot be forgiven, it is also advisable to declare the guilt and discuss the same method, which is a civilized act. Wen has sent a telegram to Zhang Zhenwu, Minister of Military Affairs, Du Xijun, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Wang Anlan, the commander of the Mixed Association, and Wang Guodong, the former commander of the First Pioneer Army, to try their best to solve the problem, and immediately sent representatives to Hubei to conduct a thorough investigation. It is the high hope of the article to hope that all comrades will be peaceful, not to hurt the will of compatriots and comrades, and not to enlighten outsiders to interfere. ”

Such infighting in Hubei has also occurred frequently in other provinces that have declared independence, and in the final analysis, it is still for the sake of "profit". In the feudal era, meritorious service was not rewarded, and it could only be killed, such as burning the Qinggong Tower, whether it was true or not, this kind of thing still happened often.

Could it be that the feudal monarchy has entered history, and this scene will continue to be staged in the Republic of China?

Next, through the efforts of all parties, the Qing court announced its abdication, and Yuan Shikai got his wish and ascended the throne of the provisional president of the Republic of China with great satisfaction.

In the history of the world, China, which is almost the country that has experienced feudalism the longest, has finally entered history.

The Oriental Dragon, which had been sleeping for many years, finally woke up, and a new era began, and people were full of hope and expectation.

On 10 March, Yuan Shikai took office in Beijing.

On 12 March, Li Yuanhong sent a congratulatory telegram to Yuan Shikai: "I have a good voice in Nanzhong, and the governor will be appointed on the 10th. When this existential breathing friend, he had to unify the car book, lay an an, and comfort him. Today, the Senate will issue an oath on behalf of the Senate, cherish the freshness, love words, look forward to the crisis, and be grateful.

"My father-in-law embraces the talent of opening up, Ding is suspicious, the enmity and hatred are not enough to mess with his thoughts, the blessings and misfortunes are not enough to scratch his way, the reputation is not enough to move his heart, the intertwined roots, the subtle and silent luck, the rate to Huang Zhi Wuge, Xu Hua obeys the relatives, the remnants of the mountains and rivers, and suddenly consolidates, and the heroes of the world are not the only ones. The coming day is long, the achievements are not in the ascendant, through the state, swallowing the war Pimo. Hong rate the generals of Hubei Province to congratulate the people of the four seas. ”

In exchange for Yuan Shikai leading the Beiyang Army to oust the Qing Emperor and end the rule of the Qing Dynasty with everyone, Li Yuanhong should be one of the main proposers and decision-makers. Although he was pulled into the chariot of Wuchang Shouyi, in any case, he was on the "thief ship" of the rebel court, if the Qing court relieved his breath, even if he was not exterminated by the nine clans, his head would definitely not be saved.

Li Yuanhong's congratulatory message must have come from the bottom of his heart.

Le Yuanhong was elected vice president on 20 February. That is to say, in the space of forty days, Li Yuanhong was promoted from the government of Nanjing. The vice president of the government became the vice president of the Republic of China in a moment.

For Yuan Shikai to serve as the president of the Republic of China, Li Yuanhong also supported it in his heart, as he said in the telegram of the Mongolian Princes' Federation: "Only Yuan Xiangcheng is appointed as the new policy. President of the University of the People's Republic of China, in order to save the time, he has great talent,"

Although Li Yuanhong, the vice president, is not in place, he is often worried about state affairs. At that time, the unified government. Although the government was established, the north and the south did not really achieve reunification. Yuan Shikai and the revolutionary party were at odds with each other, and there was also friction between the Beiyang Army and the People's Army of the Southern Revolutionary Party. Outside of the opposing sides, Li Yuanhong is a third party, the so-called bystander. Because it is a third party, it can sometimes act as a persuader and mediator.

Li Yuanhong also expressed his views on the current situation through various forms and put forward some opinions and suggestions. For example, in the form of four or six sentences, the "appeal to the whole country to stop fighting for the hardship of the people" points out various social phenomena that harm society and even bring disaster to the country and the people. Use the "three dangers", "four deaths", "five weeps", "ten evils", etc., to enumerate the evils of the times in society and lash out at the dangers of armed secession.

He also proceeded from reality and put forward insights to solve problems.

For example, he once sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai, pointing out the ten harms that military personnel bring to the governance of the country by virtue of their strength. Hold the virtuous road and save the two harms of private people. Recruiting non-human arrogance is three harms. Unbridled wealth and reckless force, tyrannical expropriation, and its harm is four. If military law is used to disregard human life, it will cause five harms. Adultery and plunder, ravaging the land, its harm sixth. It is easy to be agitated and shake the political situation, which is harmful. Supporting the army is self-respecting, and it is easy to turn the other side, which is harmful. Fighting for the city and land, the internal strife continues, and the harm is nine. Dividing one side is like a feudal town, and it is harmful."
