1908 Far East Maniac Chapter 138 Takefu

Whether the revolutionary forces in the south want it or not. Yuan Shikai grabbed the ripening of the fruits of the revolution. provinces across the country. Up to now. Hubei, Hunan, Zhejiang, and Fujian are already completely in the hands of the Destiny faction. The three eastern provinces were directly under Shandong, Anhui, and Jiangsu, and were swallowed by the Beiyang forces. Henan and Jiangxi belong to the land of the four wars. The royalist forces, the constitutionalist revolutionaries, saw each other in these two provinces. There's really no time to think about it. As for Sichuan, Guangdong, Shanxi, xīnjiāng and other provinces. Under the auspices of the feudal officials, it continued to maintain "neutrality". Among those who were still strongly hostile to the revolution or constitutionalism, the only ones left were Shengyun, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Xiliang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. And Seungyoon since the breakout of the Second Army. There is nothing left in your hands. Self-protection is not enough. How could they mobilize troops to rescue the Qing court? Xiliang is also screaming. But let him send his troops to the king of Qin, in the north. first ask the Communist Association in Hunan and the Republican Army in Hubei if they agree.

In this situation. The Qing court was left to let the country have a road to go. It's obvious. The reason why it has been delayed until now. It's just to sell yourself for a good price. Strive for more preferential conditions.

Although Yuan Shikai has long been a "usurper" in the mouth of the banner man. However, it is extremely hard to obtain preferential conditions for the clearance. It seems that he wants to win back some people's hearts with this move. So. In terms of preferential treatment in the Qing Dynasty, the faces of the north and the south are red. The reason is simple. Because Zhao Bei is too "stingy".

There are a total of 16 preferential treatment conditions proposed by the Qing Dynasty. was cut in half by Yuan Shikai. It became eight: one. After the abdication of the Qing Emperor. The honorific title remains unchanged. He is still called the "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty". The new zhèngfǔ treats it with the courtesy of a foreign royal family; Two. Emperor Xun's annual court expenditure was four million taels of silver. Allocated by the new zhèngfǔ; Three. After the abdication of the Qing Emperor. still living in the Forbidden City; Four. After the abdication of the Qing family. The mausoleum of its ancestral temple continues to be enshrined. and to be protected by guards at the discretion of the new zhèngfǔ; Five. Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi have not yet been enshrined in Da'an. The mausoleum was also unfinished after the establishment of the new zhèngfǔ. Finish the mausoleum. The required funds are allocated by the new zhèngfǔ; Six. The private property of the Xunqing royal family was given special protection by the new zhèngfǔ. The Huangzhuang Huangtian in various places is not confiscated; Seven. The former palace envoys are all retained. But in the future, I will not recruit eunuchs; The Praetorian Guard, which was adapted from the original first town of Beiyang, was organized into an association of 4,000 people. Continue to protect Purple City as a royal guard. Only light weapons, not cannons. Ammunition for military salaries and ammunition required. Allocated by the new zhèngfǔ.

These eight preferential conditions are known as "Yuan Batiao". For the flag-man nobles. The preferential conditions are already very "harsh". So once it is raised. Then he scolded. But what these flag people didn't expect was that. The preferential conditions proposed by Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the Republican Army, were more stringent than those of "Yuan Batiao".

There are two preferential conditions proposed by Zhao Bei: first, after the abdication of the Qing Dynasty. Every year, 500,000 yuan is allocated by the Republic and zhèngfǔ. Pay in silver dollars. and up to five years of payment. After five years, the allocation will cease. Earn your own living by the Qing family. After the abdication of the Qing dynasty and the abdication of the country. Must move out of the Forbidden City. The abolished emperor lived in the capital and sent troops to protect it. No congressional consent. do not leave the place of residence; Second. The imperial mausoleum of the Qing dynasty was protected by troops sent by the Republic of China. However, it is no longer a royal forbidden place. Instead, it was opened up as a park. Open to visitors. and collect tickets. Half of the ticket revenue is handed over to the republic zhèngfǔ. The other half is paid as a special allowance to the housekeeper. The payment was also placed at the disposal of the republic after five years.

These two articles are known as "Zhao Ertiao". The strip is harsh. The toughness of the attitude. Even the foreign minister who rotated from it was shocked. In particular, the regulations on the place of residence of the abolished emperor. It's like guarding a prisoner. And Zhao Bei made it clear. For the Xunqing royal family. Not only the Praetorian Guard must be disbanded altogether. And the Forbidden City must also be vacated. Converted into a museum. National Service. As for the Guangxu Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi, who have not yet been buried. Whereas, the republic has been made. There is no emperor in China. Therefore. It is no longer advisable to be buried with the emperor's funeral. The republic zhèngfǔ could consider carving out two pieces of land in the east as a cemetery. to the cost of burial. It will be solved by the cleaning room. The republic zhèngfǔ does not interfere.

"Article" is proposed. Not only the Qing court was shocked. Even Shi Kai was surprised. specially sent cronies to Wuhan to meet Zhao Bei with a pen letter in hand. Ask for accommodation. But for Zhao Bei politely refused. However, those who have been devoting themselves to the southern peace talks have been cheered up by this condition. There is the IRA in the back. Their position on the preferential conditions for the clearance of the house immediately hardened. No matter how Yuan Shikai and the great powers put pressure. I just won't let go easily. And blatantly proposed. If the southern deputies agreed to the "eight articles". It is necessary to take the capital Fuzhou or Hangzhou. Otherwise. It's not just that "Yuan Batiao" will not pass. Even "Zhao Ertiao" also needs to be discussed.

The Manchu remnants and the Beiyang were angry. Threatened to raise troops to the south. Drink the Yangtze River. But the IRA sprang into action. Along the Jinghan Line to the north, it advanced some more distance. With the support of the Republican Army. Henan Endeavor will be armed. Take Luoyang, an important town in western Henan. Drink the Yellow River. Overlook. The north can cross the river and watch the mountain. The west can enter the pass to attack Shaanxi. The small number of Beiyang troops entrenched in Henan could not confront it head-on. Can only shrink in the opening. One telegram after another asking for help was photographed in Tianjin. So that Yuan Shikai couldn't sleep at night.

Under the instigation of the Republican Army. The Shaanxi Elders Association launched an uprising in southern Shaanxi. Fought side by side with the Northern Sichuan Rebel Army. In one fell swoop, Hanzhong, an important town in southern Shaanxi, was recovered. Reach. The revolutionary forces in Hubei, Shaanxi, and Sichuan have been united. The red of the revolution is dazzling. Sichuan, Shaanxi, and the stubborn Manchu Qing forces were panicked. There was a lot of noise for a while. There is quite a posture of a tree falling and scattering.

Just in the south, the revolutionary forces are gearing up. When the Republican Army was preparing for a major Northern Expedition. Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the Republican Army, sent another telegram. It was announced that the IRA had halted its advance. Waiting for the reply of the Qing court.

This ultimatum in the true sense of the word not only frightened the Qing court. It also made Yuan Shikai's heart tremble. Although the Beiyang Army has now expanded to more than 100,000 people. But all are recruits. No combat experience. Plus the munitions ship has not yet returned. Not even a weapon. Also look to the north. Defend against rì this Russia. And what confidence do you have to fight to the death with the southern forces?

That's it

Shikai no longer cares about being a "loyal minister". The two towns of the Beiyang Army went to Changxin,. Putting on an offensive stance, the cavalry cruised back and forth north of the capital. Block the way for the Qing Room to escape to the grassland. He also sent an envoy to follow the British minister Zhu Erdian to the Forbidden City. Even scared and deceitful. The Empress Dowager Longyu, who was forced to tears, knocked down the national seal on the edict of abdication in the Qing Dynasty. An edict was immediately issued, ordering the provincial feudal officials to respond to the republic.

February 1909 A.D. 19rì. The Qing court officially issued an edict of abdication. Under the supervision of ministers and representatives of the South. The three-year-old Empress Dowager Longyu was accompanied by the Minister of the Interior and her close attendants. For the last time, he accepted the bowing of the ministers in the Taihe Temple. Then take a small sedan chair carried by four people. Surrounded by eunuchs, he left Ouchi from Xihua Gate and went to the palace to live temporarily. When leaving the palace gate. A large number of mule carts and luggage they were carrying were all detained by the IRA representatives. After repeated negotiations were ineffective. The former Qing Emperor and the Queen Mother had no choice but to leave the palace that once belonged to them. A cultural relics conservation committee composed of representatives from all walks of life, cultural figures, and antique dealers from Liulichang was stationed in the Forbidden City. Immediately began the work on the clearance of cultural relics.

These scenes were recorded on film by a camera team sent by the Communist Army. So that future generations can witness this great historical moment of the end of the imperial system. And the iron-blooded republican flag of the Republican Army is also flying in the camera almost all the time. It's impressive. When later generations of Chinese witnessed this great moment on a documentary. They were all amazed by the foresight of the commander-in-chief. Since Qin Shi Huang. The imperial system that rode on the heads of all the people of the country was destroyed. The Imperial Era has finally come to an end. Everyone can witness that big moment.

When the Qing Dynasty destroyed the republic, the zhèngfǔ was immediately proclaimed. With the support of the representatives of the provinces of the liberation. Shikai got his wish and became the temporary commander. Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the Republican Army, was the first to send a congratulatory message. Scratch someone's back. President Yuan Da officially issued the letter of appointment. He was appointed as the "Salt Administration Supervisor of Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, and Tibet Provinces". Full authority to manage the salt administration of the six southwestern provinces. He was formally appointed as the governor of Hubei to oversee all military and government affairs in Hubei.

Subsequently. The provinces of Guangfu also sent congratulatory messages one after another. Ministers and consuls of various countries also sent congratulatory messages in their personal capacities. However, no country has yet officially recognized this nascent Communist Party of China.

Of course. As a ruler of the country for more than two years, the king of the land declined. Its aristocratic clique was inevitably unwilling to lose power. Dynasties are not ruled by emperors alone. At the same time, it was also ruled by this noble group. The emperor willingly abdicated and gave way to the country. It doesn't mean that others are willing to be in the middle of the night when the Manchu emperor was expelled from the palace. A mutiny, of course, broke out.

The Manchu Janissaries, who were ordered to be stationed in Nanyuan to be disarmed and disbanded on the spot, were swallowed up by the Beiyang clique under the pretext of severance pay. Yu Qing staged a mutiny late at night. He was appointed as the president. Xiaogong, Wang Weisu, and Wang Shan are the left and right wing commanders. He then swore in Nanyuan. Attack the capital. Trying to rescue the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. But on the way, the rebel army was ambushed by the Beiyang Army's Jīng Rui troops. The battle was defeated. Before the bannermen could see the gates of the city, the stars were scattered. Liangbi, Pu Weishan and others absconded in disguise. With the assistance of the Legation in China, he fled to the Tianjin Concession with his family. Subsequently, he left Tianjin by the concession by a merchant ship. Travel to North Korea.

The Nanyuan Mutiny was only a small time for the stubborn forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The only ones who are unwilling to lose power are the princes and clans in the capital. The local feudal officials were also unwilling to give up power.

It was at the time of the abdication of the Qing Dynasty to let the edict of the state be issued. The governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Shengyun, the governor of Yungui, the governor of Xiliangshan, the governor of Shanxi, Bao xīnjiāng, the governor of Liankui, sent a telegram. Announced that it would not recognize Yuan Shikai's status. At the same time, the "Royal Qin Wang Army" was formed. Officially declared war on the republic. Later. Zhao Erxun, the governor of Sichuan, also announced his participation in the Qinwang Army.

Meanwhile. rì Ben, the country increased its troops by tens of thousands. Swing along the Eastern Railway. And threatened to occupy important cities. In order to protect the "legitimate interests" of the people of the two countries. Only by the United States and Great Britain vigorously opposed. I didn't put it into action.

Between the mountains become sè. Wolf smoke is everywhere. Facing a crisis. The Beiyang faction, the revolutionaries, and the constitutionalists gave up their former suspicions of the party. Tianjin formed a "crusade headquarters". Assemble three crusading armies. Collectively referred to as "Jian[**]". The North Route Army is the First Army. The Beiyang general Duan Rui is the commander-in-chief. Responsible for the attack on Shanxi. Nanjian [**] was the Third Army. Huang Xing, a cadre of the Alliance, is the commander-in-chief, and Xiong Chengji, a cadre of the Guangfu Society, is the deputy commander-in-chief. Responsible for the attack on Yunnan. The West Road was built as the Second Army. It was commanded by Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the Republican Army. Hehenan Endeavor Association and Hunan Gongjin Association troops. All three ways out. Attack Sichuan from Hubei, Shaanxi, and Guizhou.

Meanwhile. International students who have returned from Rì have returned to their hometowns. Instigation of the armed forces of the Communist Party and the Forces nouvelles. Respond to the actions of the [**] of the building. Tang Jiyao, Yin Changheng, Sun Chuanfang, Liu Cunhou, Zhao Hengti. Gu Pinzhen...... These young people have different goals and ideas. Throw yourself into this era. Join the different factions. Make this war more colorful.

1909 226 rì. After reinforcements to the Mongolian horse team that passed from the steppe. Bao commanded the Shanxi Qing army to attack from Niangzi Pass. Pounced on the town of Zhili. Halfway through the encounter with the westward advance of the Beiyang Army. It was immediately defeated. The Qing army retreated to Shanxi. This history is called "Zhengdingzhi".

This battle is a symbol. The "War of Nationhood" officially broke out.

"Long dream for a thousand years, how to wake up. Sleeping in the countryside who made jǐng bell ringing ......" in the loud military song. The iron flow is rolling. Flag hunting.

Maybe. The rebirth of a nation and the rise of a country are inseparable from the baptism of war?

Maybe. The shield of peace needs the forging of a hammer of war?

Whether people want to admit it or not. This era is an era of martial arts! 〈The first volume of "The First of the Times" ends.
