Chapter 53: The Beijing New Army Training Camp
On December 19, 1914, the largest circulation of the Republic of China published a letter of appointment personally signed by President Seal of the Beiyang Government.
(The "Declaration" was the most famous newspaper in the early years of the Republic of China, and although it changed hands several times from its inception in 1872 to its closure in 1949, it generally adhered to the strategy of "taking both righteousness and profit" into account.) In 1881, the scope of issuance (sales) of the "Declaration" had expanded from cities to towns, and from Shanghai to other cities. It has distribution offices in Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Ningbo, Guangzhou and other places. By 1888, it had developed into the most influential and best-selling news newspaper in China, and became an important daily reading material for the Chinese government and the people. Therefore, once the news of it was published, it would spread all over China overnight. )
Order of appointment of the National Government of the Republic of China:
Zhang Pengxiang is hereby appointed as the superintendent of the Republic of China in Xinjiang Province, and is appointed as the supreme commander in charge of the military and people's livelihood in Xinjiang Province. This order.
President of the Republic of China: XXX (Indian).
The National Government of the Republic of China (India).
December 19, the third year of the Republic of China.
Once this letter of appointment was published, our second master Zhang officially appeared on the historical stage of the Republic of China.
The publication of this letter of appointment also caused an uproar in the Republic of China! Who is Zhang Pengxiang? What bird is it? Why did such a character suddenly appear? ~~~ For a while, the warlords, overseers, and government officials from all over the country were discussing.
The Zhang Mansion in the capital is even more lively. Inquire about news and climb relationships; Relatives, world friends, and Zhangfu, who come and go to the capital from far and near, are endless.
But none of these people are the most surprised. The most curious and excited are a group of classmates when the second master studied abroad and those fox friends in the capital who used to play well.
It was not early in the morning, these scourges of the capital came to the gate of Zhang's mansion together, gathered in groups of three or five, and waited for the door of Zhang's mansion to open the door. They don't have Tan Sanye's façade in Zhang's mansion, and no one dares to be arrogant in front of Zhang's mansion.
"Oops! ~~~ Ryoko! Why are you here too? You forgot about robbing a woman with the second master? ”
"That's right! Ryoko! Our men in Beijing can't do something like you! ”
A young man wearing a satin robe and a horse coat also came to the gate of Zhang's mansion in a rickshaw at this time. But his arrival was immediately ridiculed and ridiculed by this group of sons and brothers who arrived early.
"Go! Go! Go! ~~~ It's a fart relationship with you! Master and Shoko are out of friendship! Can it be like you? ”
"Is the new Xinjiang Overseer in the newspaper Xiangzi? Which of you has the inside scoop? I'm out 10 oceans to buy this exact news! Does anyone know? ”
A young man leaning on a horse-tethered stake at the gate of the mansion said ruffianly.
"Cut~~~ Just you have money? Come ~ come ~ big guy come here, I'll sit in the bank! Let's take a look at whether the second master is Zhang Dudu! ”
Okay! These sons and brothers actually opened a gambling game in front of Zhang's mansion as the second master. The old butler inside the gate stomped his feet in anger. What's this called? The old man has a good impression of the second young master, and as soon as these bastards come, they will definitely have to be mixed up again! ~~~~~~
====
Different from the anxiety of the old housekeeper, the second master at this time was excitedly entertaining the third bandit who had returned from India and the three Tibetans he had brought back.
The reason why the second master was so excited was because the assassination plan he planned single-handedly completely changed the course of some parts of history.
It made him even more convinced that he could change the destiny of the Chinese nation when he came to this era. And these changes did not make the "variables" of his time and space disappear! ~~~ How can this make him unhappy and excited?
At this time, he couldn't wait to let out a loud "wolf howl" a few times, and he was proud and ambitious in his chest!
This assassination plan was planned from the time the second master went to Shanghai and met Sassoon. At that time, in the process of digging out the history of the Sassoon family from his memory, the second master accidentally discovered the information of McMahon's past life in India at this time.
Not to mention that the country in the world that the second master hates is not only Little Japan, but also the world's-stirring stick Britain. Britain has been stirring up trouble in Europe since its founding, and after dominating the world, it is fanning the flames everywhere on the earth. Calling Britain a "global-stirring stick" does not wrong him at all.
This operation was aimed at the assassination of British delegate McMahon and his adviser Burr on July 3, 1914, when the local representatives of China and Britain and Tibet were in India at the Simla Conference.
(Everyone knows the origin of the McMahon Line!) Indeed, it was the British representative McMahon and his adviser Burr who, without the consent of the Chinese government, privately discussed with the then Tibetan representative of the 13th Dalai Lama's special envoy, Lenchen Shatola, behind the back of the representatives of the Chinese central government, the direction of the eastern Sino-Indian border between Tibet and Bhutan and Burma. A boundary line proposed by McMahon.
In a previous life, during the meeting, representatives of the Chinese government refused to sign, and the meeting broke down. Successive Chinese governments have never recognized this treaty. Therefore, this so-called "Simla Treaty" is completely illegal. As for the fact that during the meeting, the British and Tibetan local representatives, behind the back of the Chinese central government, arbitrarily demarcated the so-called "McMahon Line," that is, the eastern section of the Sino-Indian border, in a secret exchange of letters. On July 3, 1914, representatives of the Chinese government made a statement categorically denying the so-called "McMahon Line". In fact, at the Shimla meeting, the Sino-Indian border issue was never formally discussed. )
In fact, he didn't care about the second master of the McMahon line, because the previous Chinese governments had never recognized this treaty.
Therefore, the so-called historical legacy does not exist at all. It's just that in later generations, some clowns who jumped off the beam used this matter to get tired of China, which made the second master, an angry young man, itch his teeth for McMahon, a-stirring stick.
Now it's easy to have this opportunity, the second master selected 28 good players from the caravan at home, led by the third bandit with the best marksmanship, and followed Sassoon to India.
And before India's final meeting on July 3, McMahon, who was secretly meeting with Chinese government representatives behind his back, and his adviser Burr, and the Tibetan representative Lenchen Shatola were burned to death by an accidental fire.
So this plan, after all the parties and documents were burned to ashes, came to a successful end.
As for the three Tibetans, they were the slave retinue of the Tibetan representative Lunchen Shatola. The master is dead, where do they dare to go back to their hometown! So he was brought to the second master by the third master of the bandit to see how the second master arranged.
When the third son of the bandit went to the toilet, the second master directly collected the three serfs into the space and used them as "fertilizer" in the space.
Joke! How could the second master leave such an obvious hidden danger! The purpose of the second master has always been to "cut the grass and remove the roots", and you will never find a woman's benevolence in him!
When the third master of the bandits came back, the second master only said lightly, and arranged them into the caravan at home, and it was over.
When the door of Zhang's mansion opened in the morning, the second master's fox friend had not had time to report. I saw a group of cars of the Beiyang government parked in front of the door. A formal letter of appointment was sent from the Secretariat of the Presidency.
For a time, the Zhangfu in the capital was full of lights, gongs and drums, and it was not lively. The old man Zhang Jushan even invited the best chef in the capital, and set up a flowing water table in the streets and alleys in front of the mansion, and those who came did not refuse.
After the official appointment was received, the first thing the second master did was to lease the Fengtai camp in the south of Beijing from the government, and leased it for five months at a cost of 200,000 oceans.
At the same time, he reported to the Beiyang government that he would recruit troops and train new soldiers in the Fengtai camp. With the cooperation of the second son of the president, the second master won the five-month use period of the Fengtai camp without resistance.
(Fengtai Daying refers to the barracks in the south of Beijing (today's Nanyuan).) It is about the middle of today's South Fourth Ring Road and South Fifth Ring Road in Beijing. At its peak, the garrison numbered more than 40,000 people. Therefore, the second master trained forty or fifty thousand people here, and he was rich and rich. )
