In the last year of the 19th century, there were undercurrents surging in southern China, and Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei and other provinces began to set off a great tide of democracy and republic, especially in Guangdong and Hubei, which were once ruled by Zhang Zhidong, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, and the local style of study was open and advocated the Westernization movement.

Huizhou is a humble state capital in China, but it has given birth to a stormy democratic revolution. Under the strict control and command of Sun Yat-sen, Zheng Shiliang, a member of the Xingzhong Society, actively contacted progressive-leaning soldiers and students in Huizhou, and launched an uprising in Huizhou, which stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the entire Liangguang was shaken, and the momentum of the uprising was out of control.

The next day, Sun Yat-sen arrived in Huizhou from Taiwan and personally commanded the uprising, and the rebel army actually grew even higher, and in just two days, it had grown to more than 20,000 people.

Tan Zhonglin, the governor of Liangguang, urgently sent a telegram to the capital to urgently request the support of neighboring provinces.

Now that the imperial court was already weak, where could the elite soldiers be sent, at that time, Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili, suddenly called the imperial court to request that the south be transferred to Liangguang to suppress the revolutionary uprising in the south.

Cixi was overjoyed when she saw the telegram, and hurriedly drafted a telegram praising Xiang Cheng's urgency and the country's difficulties, and his loyalty and courage were commendable, and he was given a yellow coat to serve as the governor of Liangguang from now on, and went to Liangguang to quell the rebellion.

Yuan Shikai replied that the Liangguang Revolutionary rebels had now gathered more than 30,000 people, and there were many thieves, but they were afraid that it would be difficult to recover in a hurry, and requested that the troops of a town in Beiyang be transferred to suppress it.

Cixi did not hesitate to directly appoint the first town of Beiyang New Army to go south with Yuan Shikai, the first town commander Wang Shizhen Jin Guangdong governor followed Yuan Shikai south, and the governor of Zhili has been temporarily led by Rong Luyao.

After receiving the will, Yuan Shikai was overjoyed, immediately mobilized the troops of the first town, took a warship and urgently went south, arrived in Guangzhou in two days, and immediately landed on the shore, and launched a fierce offensive against the revolutionary rebels.

Now that the revolutionary rebels were short of ammunition, and they encountered the elite of the Beiyang New Army under Yuan Shikai, they were no match at all, Yuan Shikai beat Sun Yijun to pieces in a laughing and laughing game, and he had to order the backbone of the rebel army to lurk in his place, and he fled to Hong Kong alone.

Fengtian Zhang Yi first got the telegram of the Huizhou Uprising, how could such a thing be hidden, and he got the news as soon as he saw it.

Zhang Yi sighed in his heart, finally that Sun cannon is about to be shot, from then on, the whole south is afraid that it will not be able to live in peace, and in the next ten years, the revolutionaries will be active as a new and powerful force in China, and it seems that he will also take time to meet that Sun Yat-sen.

Only less than two days later, Zhang Yi got the news again, Yuan Shikai asked the governor of Liangguang to be transferred, volunteered to go to Liangguang to quell the rebellion, and returned Yuan Shikai to a town, a new army and a town, which is equivalent to a division of Fengtian, and also the most elite military force under Yuan Shikai, Zhang Yi was stunned for a while, and then smiled bitterly.

Yuan Shikai is really not simple, seeing the stitches is really powerful.

On the side, Xu Huaijin frowned: "Why did the instructor Yuan Shikai go to Guangzhou to serve as a governor of Liangguang without doing anything?" Single-mindedly drilling into the camp officialdom, even if he wants to change his position, he should develop in the capital and directly enter the military plane, and go to Guangdong to join in the fun, which is really confusing. ”

Zhang Yi smiled indifferently: "Huai Jin, this is not simple? Now that Yuan Shikai has been operating in Shandong for a few years, he has been operating in Zhili and Shandong like an iron bucket, the wind can't blow in, and the water can't be spilled, and now he needs to break through his sphere of influence and go to the capital? What future can you not enter the capital, I don't know if you are a small official, there is a random one there, Du Zhenger, from a large member, even Zhengyi, if you go to the capital, can you still show Yuan Shikai to come? How good it is to go to Guangdong, give three or five years, and the future of Guangxi and Guangxi will also fall into the bag! Yuan Shikai's ambition to accumulate grain and claim the title of king is not small. ”

Xu Huaijin was shocked, what a powerful means, Yuan Shikai's city mansion is too deep! In the future, you should be more careful when you fight with each other.

Zhang Yi smiled: "Huai Jin talked about marching and fighting, crisscrossing the battlefield, Lao Yuan is a big difference, but if you go outside the battlefield, Huai Jin is still far behind, even if it is not necessarily a guy, the opponent must not only be careful, even if it is also careful, you must also be careful to deal with it, Zhili, Liangguang, Beiyang, Six Towns, and Wuwei The three armies inadvertently Yuan Shikai has accumulated such a strong strength." ”

Xu Huaijin smiled bitterly: "Ah, I heard that it is better to give you information, now even if Shandong and Henan have penetrated in, now Feng Guozhang has become the governor of Shandong, Cao Kun has also become the governor of Henan, both of them are Yuan Shikai, the first to see Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai's strength has expanded too fast, plus now he has been invested in Yuan Shikai's command, and Sheng Xuanhuai, the minister of railways, can already compete with the Republic of China." ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Confrontation? Huai Jin and Yuan Shikai may not be weak, but if they want to contend with them, is there still a big gap between the navy? Can there be so many generals under his command? Is the territory really integrated? Even if the integration is done in the future, there will be a pool of backwater, can it be compared with the three eastern provinces, and the three provinces can develop by leaps and bounds! Xu Huaijin sighed: "Instructor, don't forget, the war is the final competition, the three eastern provinces are still too small in population, plus Inner Mongolia is only more than 30 million now, and it is only comparable to a province in Zhili, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of manpower, and the corresponding customs have huge development potential, and we must speed up the process of unifying the whole country." Zhang Yi shook his head: "Huai Jin's time is not ripe, now the Qing Dynasty is still about to fall, if you want to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, you must wait until Cixi's old lady breathes, with Cixi's means, you can completely suppress the princes everywhere, if they insist on going to war, then China will be more vigorous, and they will not be able to take the risk, take advantage of these two years, we will consolidate the foundation for the development of the Republic of China, and wait for the real development of its four provinces, then we will have enough strength to sweep the country in one fell swoop, resist the great powers, and complete the real unification!" ”
