On 6 May, 2 million rounds of ammunition and 1,000 75-mm Krupp shells and a battalion of more than 600 reinforcements were brought from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since Sun Wu and others drove out Huang Xing, they have held the military and political power in Wuhan, and he himself served as the head of the Military Affairs Coordination Department, but after driving out Huang Xing, although the revolutionary situation in Wuhan has improved somewhat, it is still facing the point of being wiped out by Feng Guozhang's Beiyang Army. At this time, the people in Wuhan decided to invite Li Liejun's army to come, and Li Liejun did not understand military command like Huang Xing, and the Jiangxi Revolutionary Party did not like Huang Xing and others after coming to Wuhan, and they did not establish the first power, so the cooperation between the two sides was very good.

After Li Liejun's army arrived in Wuhan, he repeatedly repelled Feng Guozhang's army, which made the original Wuhan people a little embarrassed. Therefore, this time to support Jiangbei, Sun Wucai took the initiative to ask for battle, to bring support troops to support Jiangbei, and hoped to make a contribution to the expulsion of the Japanese invaders.

When Li Yuanhong learned of the urgency of Sun Wu and others, he allowed him to lead a team of 700 people to escort weapons, ammunition and other materials along the Yangtze River to support Jiangbei. Compared with Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary party in Nanjing, although the Hubei revolutionary party was poorer, its backbone was harder, and it was only necessary to reduce food and clothing to support bullets and shells, and it also really sent troops to support, which was the first in the country to explicitly support other armed forces in Jiangbei, and Wang Yongan was naturally moved.

Wang Yongan personally received Sun Wu in Yangzhou, and said excitedly: "I have long heard of the three heroes of the revolution, and I can see it today. Sun Wu was very modest at this time, and he repeatedly said that he was ashamed of himself, compared with the famous Yunshuai Wang Yongan, he was nothing.

After friendly talks between the two sides, Wang Yongan established a provisional number for Sun Wu's Hubei Provincial Army, the seventh battalion of the Volunteer Army, and after consulting with Chief of Staff Feng Heng, it was decided to form the Hubei Battalion and the other six battalions of the Volunteer Army into the 10th Division of the Jiangbei New Army, with Sun Wu as the division commander and Sun Chuanfang as the deputy division commander. The 5,000 troops of the 10th Division were first arranged by Wang Yongan in Dongtai County, but the ministers of the 10th Division quit, the reason was that Dongtai County and Yangzhou were far apart, and once the Japanese attacked Yangzhou, the 10th Division would avoid the war. Although our 10th Division was temporarily reorganized, it was not an anti-Japanese spectator, and one by one asked to rush to the front. Wang Yongan was finally helpless, so he had to arrange the 10th Division in Jiangdu County to defend Jiangdu County.

For the nationwide "anti-Japanese aid to Jiangbei" activity, Wang Yongan expressed his gratitude to the Chinese people in the whole country and the world in the form of a telegram, and once again threatened: "Uehara Yong talks on paper and rises to the rank of general with a pen, and he will inevitably be defeated under the city of Yangzhou." ”

Wang Yongan's words infuriated Uehara even more, forcing Uehara to speed up his march, and then along the unfinished Yangzhou-Nantong railway route, the Japanese army advanced all the way. However, under the attack of the Jiangbei Army, Yusaku Uehara had to divide his troops to guard, and when he arrived in Taizhou, the Japanese army really encountered problems for the first time.

Fang Xianwu concentrated three army divisions, the 3rd, 6th, and 7th Divisions, as well as 10 supplementary regiments, with a total strength of more than 60,000 troops, in Taixian, and did not fear the Japanese attack in the slightest. At this time, because the battle line was too long, and the Japanese army had to rely on two legs to push the supplies along the way, although there was no shortage of ammunition before, but now it has to pay attention to it.

At this time, the Chinese defenders of Taixian made a move that was incomprehensible to the Japanese, and they took the initiative to abandon half of the county seat of Taixian and firmly attract the Japanese to Taixian. Yusaku Uehara shouted half of the county seat of Taixian County, whether to put it or not, and it was embarrassing. He tried to swallow Taixian in one fell swoop, but was stubbornly resisted by the Chinese defenders, who relied on grenades and death squads to take advantage of the village in street battles, and instead killed the Japanese with heavy casualties.

On May 9, Saionji Kobo and Yamamoto Gonbei formally impeached Katsura Taro, and the parliament decided to stop providing military funds to the army, forcing Japanese land minister Kigoshi Yasutsuna to submit his resignation. However, Katsura Taro rejected Kigoshi Yasutsuna's resignation and insisted that the crusade army was already progressing smoothly in the war against China, and that more investment should be made to win over the government. In response to the anti-war rhetoric inside and outside the Japanese government and the opposition, Katsura Taro asked the young Emperor Taisho to issue an edict to suppress the people's speech.

Speaking of which, Emperor Taisho was still too young, he admired his father, Emperor Meiji's courage to dominate the world and his actions to win the Qing Kingdom and Russia, and he longed in his heart to be able to have such martial arts, but on the other hand, he was forced by pressure from all sides, and he did not know whether to support or oppose the radicalism of the army faction.

After a long conversation with Emperor Taisho all night, Katsura finally persuaded Emperor Taisho and used the government as the beginning of Emperor Taisho's bravery. Yes, the crusade against China was the first foreign war in the era of Emperor Taisho, and if this war failed, he Katsura Taro had to go into the wilderness, and Emperor Taisho also lost face and WeChat in the imperial court.

Emperor Taisho, who had been fooled, formally announced to the Diet that he should not criticize the crusade against China and that the Diet should immediately allocate funds for the military department.

Emperor Taisho's tough request sent him directly to the center of this political storm, not only did he take the initiative to make a target for Katsura Taro, but he completely lost the room for maneuver that the emperor deserved. Emperor Taisho's actions caused a storm of protest in the Diet. Ostensibly accusing Katsura of being "a guy hiding behind a dragon's sleeve," the lawmakers were actually complaining about the emperor's abuse of imperial power. Emperor Taisho was furious and directly issued an edict ordering the Diet to adjourn for three days and reflect on it. However, after the resumption of the meeting, these civil rights politicians continued to publicly criticize the Katsura Taro cabinet, and criticism of Katsura Taro continued in Japanese newspapers and media.

The enraged Taisho Emperor summoned Saionji Gongwang and ordered him to return to unify his thoughts and stop resisting the decree. The Duke of Xiyuan Temple went back and conveyed the holy will according to the script. The Diet discussed it for two more days, and even vetoed the emperor's proposal!

Now all of Japan is stupid! Never before in the history of Japan has the will of the emperor been so ruthlessly denied!

This time, the behavior of Saionji Gongwang angrily against Emperor Taisho was called the Taisho coup by many people, and it was also called Japan's first constitutional protection movement, and it also set a precedent for Japanese elders to openly oppose the emperor.
