Chapter 462: The Third Route Army of the Chaotic Qing Army

Just when Wang Yongan felt breathless in the face of imperialist interference in China's internal affairs, the Qing army's third route actually stopped at Suxian, and did not even attack Huaibei City, and they actually quarreled themselves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, in the team led by Wang Zhanyuan, Ni Sichong and Tie Liang, the leaders of the various departments were not convinced by each other, especially for Wang Zhanyuan as the leader of the third road, both Ni Sichong and Tie Liang felt that this was an insult to themselves.

This Wang Zhanyuan is one of the direct patriarchs, who first followed Song Qing in the Yi Army, participated in the First Sino-Japanese War, and participated in the Battle of the Yalu River with Cao Kun, Zhang Huaizhi and others to block the Japanese army. Yuan Shikai trained in a small station, after Cao Kun's recommendation, Wang Zhanyuan served as an officer of the engineering battalion in the Wuwei Right Army, and then has been responsible for the baggage of the Wuwei Right Army, and then was promoted to the pipe belt by Wang Shizhen, in 1903, Wang Zhanyuan became Cao Kun's subordinate, serving as the infantry commander, in 1905, he was promoted to the second town of the third co-capital (copy), and three years later was promoted to the co-commander (main position).

Wuchang uprising, regent Zaifeng ordered Yin Chang to lead the second town of the Beiyang Army to the south, but Yuan Shikai up and down Beiyang asked to stop, resulting in slow progress, but forced Yin Chang to go into the field, which made Yuan Shikai out of the mountain.

After Yuan Shikai came back, he immediately ordered the commander Feng Guozhang to storm the three towns of Wuhan, and Wang Zhanyuan's troops even collapsed in the battle of Liujiamiao. Because of the heroic resistance of the Hubei Revolutionary Party, the Third Association suffered many casualties, and Feng Guozhang immediately coordinated the second and third towns to the rear to rest, and the main attacking troops were replaced by the third and fourth towns.

Wang Zhanyuan was also happy to be idle, and not long after resting in the rear, Wang Zhanyuan was ordered to garrison at Henan Shangqiu. Wang Zhanyuan then received a secret telegram from Yuan Shikai and was appointed as the commander of the third route of the Qing army, leading the army to attack northern Anhui and occupy Huaibei, cutting off the Tianjin-Pudong railway and encircling Xuzhou from the rear.

As for Ni Sichong, he is a native of Anhui Province, and the Ni family is a family of eunuchs in Anhui Province, with a prominent identity, and has been studying since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. Ni Sichong's great-grandfather Ni Huizeng and grandfather Ni Jiezhi were both officials of the Qing Dynasty, and his father Ni Shu was also a person, and served as a staff member under Yuan Shikai's adoptive father Yuan Baoqing (serving as Jiangning Salt Fadao), Ni Shu was a private school teacher for Yuan Shikai, and later served as a staff member for Yuan Shikai, so Yuan Shikai has a deep relationship with the Ni family, and Ni Sichong has known Yuan Shikai since childhood.

Ni Sichong and Yuan Shikai were world friends, and when he was a local official, he often corrupted and bent the law, and was impeached, but fortunately spent money to atone for his crimes. Ni Sichong was exempted from his local official position due to corruption, and had to ask his old brother Yuan Shikai again (the two were brothers in private), Yuan Shikai was also a nostalgic person, so he arranged Ni Sichong into the army. Under the supervision of Yuan Shikai, a strict brother, Ni Sichong naturally did not dare to be corrupt, so he could only obediently study military affairs, and he restrained his temperament and worked honestly.

In Ni Sichong's eyes, this Wang Zhanyuan is a god thing, he Ni Sichong is Yuan Shikai's younger brother, your Wang Zhanyuan is just Cao Kun's younger brother, Cao Kun is Feng Guozhang's younger brother, Feng Guozhang is Yuan Shikai's younger brother, your little brother's younger brother's younger brother, you are the youngest brother of a person, and you have become the person who commands me, it's ridiculous. But Ni Sichong didn't know that the reason why Yuan Shikai arranged Wang Zhanyuan to serve as the commander of the third route was that Ni Sichong could not command the battle at all. Although Yuan Shikai protected his little brother everywhere, he also knew in his heart that Ni Sichong had no command ability at all, but Ni Sichong himself didn't understand this matter, and he opposed Wang Zhanyuan everywhere, so angry that Wang Zhanyuan was smoking.

And the last commander Tie Liang, his identity is more noble, Tie Liang once served as the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Squire of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of Training, and assisted Yuan Shikai in training with a small station, and it can even be said that Yuan Shikai was Tie Liang's younger brother at that time. Later, when Yuan Shikai expanded the right army of Wuwei to the six towns of Beiyang, Cixi specially let Tie Liang lead the first, third, fifth, and sixth towns in order to show that Yuan Shikai was powerful, and Yuan Shikai commanded the second and fourth towns. Later, Yuan Shikai was excluded and finally devalued by Zaifeng and returned home. And Tie Liang saw that Yuan Shikai was gone, and he was the commander of the Beiyang soldiers and horses, and he felt that he could fight against the regent Zaifeng, so he tried to drive Zaifeng away, but was ostracized by the clan.

Tie Liang probably forgot that he was just an ordinary banner man, but except for him, the rest of the banner people did not like to study hard and specialize in military affairs, which made Tie Liang stand apart from everyone else and lead the six towns of Beiyang at a young age. And when Tie Liang and Zaifeng, the serious eight hundred Aixinjue Luo clan royal family, fought for power, they were naturally strangled one by one, and the generals of the six towns of Beiyang also knew that this Tie Liang was much stronger than Zaifeng's ability, if Tie Liang drove Zaifeng away, Yuan Shikai would not be able to go out of the mountain in the future. So under the conspiracy of everyone, Tie Liang was driven out of Beijing and came to Nanjing, only serving as the general of Jiangning. Even in Nanjing, Tie Liang's official position was below Zhang Xun.

Sun Yat-sen led the army to besiege Nanjing, Tie Liang cooperated with Zhang Xun to resist the revolutionary army, and after Nanjing broke the city, Tie Liang hid in the Japanese consulate and escaped, and was escorted out of the city by the Japanese and fled back to Beijing.

At this time, the Manchu clan also saw that they drove away Tie Liang, who was capable of breaking his ability, but as a result, Zaifeng, who was like a straw bag, was unable to rule the Qing Dynasty, but let Yuan Shikai pick up a bargain, and now Jingshi has become Yuan Shikai's world. The Manchu royal nobles realized Tie Liang's ability and immediately enshrined him as their backbone.

Tie Liang resolutely opposed Yuan Shikai and opposed the peace between the north and the south, he accepted the constitutional monarchy and resolutely did not accept the republican system. Tie Liang led a group of descendants of the Eight Banners, and often met secretly with the King of Qin, which was a headache for Yuan Shikai, lest this group of people do some terrorist attack and mess up his plan.

Jiangbei announced the liberation, Tie Liang somehow jumped up, and begged to see Yuan Shikai every day, hoping that Yuan Shikai would allow him to lead his troops to cut off the Jiangbei rebels, and even the Japanese jumped out to support Tie Liang.

Although the power of the Manchu clan at the end of the Qing Dynasty was suppressed by Yuan Shikai, its energy was not small, especially when all countries agreed that China should implement a constitutional monarchy, so although the whole country opposed the Manchu imperial family, foreigners supported Yuan Shikai at the same time, and demanded that Hanchen not persecute the clan, and nearly half of the property of the Jingshi was in the hands of the clan, and Yuan Shikai also had to treat the clan well, so as not to cause any trouble.

Yuan Shikai considered that if Tie Liang was in the Beijing Division, what if the first army went south and the Beijing Division was in deficit, and Tie Liang went crazy and attacked the Prime Minister's Yamen? In the entire Jingshi, no one has the ability to do this except Tie Liang, so it is better to let Tie Liang out and let him jump outside.

So Yuan Shikai appointed Tie Liang to command the 10-way Zhili patrol battalion, and obeyed Wang Zhanyuan's command to attack northern Anhui. But Ni Sichong looked down on Wang Zhanyuan with Yuan Shikai's small identity, and Tie Liang, he was the generalissimo of soldiers and horses back then, and let Wang Zhanyuan command him - that was impossible!
