Chapter 429: Collective Vote in Support of Liberation
I have to admit that the Manchu government was able to rule China for more than 260 years, and the ethnic policies formulated by its rulers were extremely practical and effective in the historical environment at that time, which greatly united all ethnic groups in China (or called an effective earthquake to deter separatist forces, but when the Qing government's control declined, there was still a case of the Ganshan Hui rebellion in vain trying to establish an Islanan state, but fortunately, Zuo Zongtang and other Hunan troops quelled the Hui rebellion by killing and stopping killing). Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At the beginning of the establishment of the Republic of China, the two sides had many discussions on ethnic policies, and unanimously recognized the ethnic policy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and recognized the local Tusi and the princely system, which successfully established the Republic of China.
At that time, the political elite of the Republic of China even expected that after the establishment of the Republic of China, without the constraints of the emperor, the land and vassal kings would become big and confront the central government, so they divided many lords, but Mongolia was full of princes, and the big tribes became small tribes, and no one could organize enough forces to fight against the central government.
Therefore, in the hearts of the people, the imperial court is no longer just the court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the court of everyone. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was the Han Chinese who defended the Qing government, such as Zhang Xun and other old soldiers. The Huai army led by Li Hongzhang was now an army composed of Jiangbei people, and the Huai army was enough to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but because many Jianghuai officers and soldiers finally came to the imperial court, even Li Hongzhang was loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and no one thought of opposing the Qing Dynasty.
After more than 20 years, the generals of Jiangbei have long ceased to be loyal to the Qing court, but Wang Yongan's generals are worried that the ignorant Jiangbei people will not support the recovery, which will lead to the instability of the army. None of the officers present here were loyal to the Manchu court, but when it came to their own interests and group politics, everyone still wanted to be cautious and cautious every step of the way.
Wang Yongan thought for a moment, raised his head and asked, "Everyone, Jiangbei is recovered, do you support the establishment of a military government or oppose the establishment of a military government in your hearts?" ”
Feng Heng said: "Naturally, it supports the establishment of a military government. ”
Li Yao also smiled and said, "This imperial court...... It's been a long time coming, so what's the use of our allegiance to him. ”
Luo Yinxian said excitedly: "I have long seen that this court is dissatisfied, can a seven-year-old doll be the emperor and govern the country well?" I can't see it! If you want to govern the country well, you need us people. ”
"I also support the formation of a military government, and my fear is that it will be difficult for junior officers and soldiers to change their minds for a while." Xiao Xiangshan explained that although Xiao Xiangshan's words were not listened to, his old and serious attitude was still affirmed by Wang Yongan. The rest of the people looked at each other, all expressing their support for the recovery.
Luo Yinxian suddenly mentioned: "The restoration of Jiangbei is a move to support the revolution, do we need to contact Sun Yat-sen and others in the south?" Even though Sun Yat-sen secretly joined forces with the north to deal with us, if we recovered, Sun Yat-sen, as the anti-Qing leader, would naturally have no excuse for the government of the Republic of China in the south to attack us. ”
Everyone looked at Wang Yongan, Wang Yongan nodded and said: "Tomorrow, Jiang Dengxuan will immediately lead the negotiation team to Nanjing, and there is no need to report to Sun Yat-sen, because if we recover, we will inevitably be restored, and the whole country will know about it, can he Sun Yat-sen pretend to be stupid?" I'm afraid that when Vice Marshal Jiang comes to Nanjing, Sun Yat-sen will definitely welcome him wholeheartedly. Everyone said yes, Sun Yat-sen's position also forced him not to make some supportive moves, but it was ridiculous that Yuan Shikai always thought that everything was under his control, but he didn't know that the political situation was changing rapidly, and a decision was not only related to the region, but also to the future of the country.
"Even if Sun Yat-sen is informed, the future government of Jiangbei will not listen to his words in Nanjing, what virtue does he Sun Yat-sen have, how can he order Jiangbei?" Wei Daofeng said suddenly, he is not very old, but he has a calm personality, and he has always been reluctant to talk nonsense, and this sentence hits the topic. The reason why everyone here is hesitant about the recovery is that they don't want to listen to Sun Yat-sen's words and listen to the command of the group of alliances in the future, but the two sides don't obey each other's orders, and they are afraid that they will have to fight in the future.
Feng Heng said with a smile: "Today's original meeting was to discuss how to deal with Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army, how did it become whether it has been recovered?" Isn't that a bit off-topic? ”
"Hahaha......" everyone laughed.
Luo Yinxian smiled and said: "Actually, it is not the case, it is only a matter of time before Jiangbei is recovered, Jiangbei can be recovered, but it can only be recovered by our Jiangbei army, and it must not be the recovery of the revolutionary party that Lao Shizi came back from Japan, they will only destroy Jiangbei, and they will not build a revolutionary party, and they are not as good as the mediocre officials of the imperial court." ”
"Lao Luo is right." Wang Yongan slapped the table and said with a smile: "Actually, everyone understands in their hearts that Jiangbei's recovery is unstoppable, but Jiangbei must not be recovered in the hands of others." Everyone nodded again and again, and Wang Yongan said again: "If Yuan Shikai hadn't attacked us, we wouldn't have made a decision so quickly, because for us, maintaining the status quo is more conducive to development." It's a pity that we are willing to make a fortune in silence, and others are not willing to watch us gain weight, so it is imperative to recover. This Li Shirui is a district division commander, and he has been wronged, in this way, Feng Heng, you will be asked to issue a promotion order later, and Li Shirui will be promoted to serve as the deputy chief of staff of the Jiangbei Protector Army Office, and also serve as the commander of the Eighth Division of the Jiangbei Army. ”
"Yes." Feng Hengdao.
Wang Yongan said again: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Jiangbei Army was built by us together, although I provided funds and materials, but this is the Jiangbei Army, not the Wang Army. Although I am a commander-in-chief, I am not a dictator, and whether we support the recovery of Jiangbei or not still needs to be decided together. It just so happens that there are eleven people attending the meeting today, let's make a vote, please raise your hand if you support the recovery of Jiangbei! Jiang Dengxuan, deputy commander of the Jiangbei Protector's Office, and Luo Yinxian, chief of logistics of the Jiangbei Army, immediately raised their hands to express their support, and Li Yao, adjutant general, Xiao Xiangshan, chief of military affairs, Feng Heng, chief of staff, Han Linchun, chief of armaments, and Wei Daofeng, chief of military justice, raised their hands closely, and Shao Yongqin, commander of the First Division of the Jiangbei Army, Chen Jian, commander of the Fourth Division of the Jiangbei Army, and Fang Xianwu, commander of the Sixth Division of the Jiangbei Army, who were stationed in Yangzhou, raised their hands almost at the same time, all expressing their support for the liberation of Jiangbei.
"Very good, Jiangbei's recovery is the trend of the times, and we and the military will work together, so we won't worry about anything else." Wang Yongan laughed loudly, "Feng Heng, the telegram ordered all departments to prepare for war, be ready to move north at any time, prepare marching rations, carry bullet reserves, maybe we will have a Northern Expedition campaign that directly takes the Beijing Division!" ”
"Yes!" Feng Heng excitedly shouted, if he directly took the Jingshi, it would announce to the world that the Qing Empire, which had ruled China for more than 260 years, had been terminated by the monarchs of Jiangbei, and all of you here today would be recorded in the annals of history and become heroes for the ages.
