Time is fair to anyone, but from a certain point of view, it's unfair. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn the same time, the work efficiency, action focus, thinking and action are different, and it is really difficult to predict which side the time will stand on.

Before the start of the second round of peace talks, Guangzhou held a reorganization meeting of the Renaissance Association, attended by more than 2,000 people, and elected nine directors, Song Fuhua was elected as prime minister, Chen Wenqiang and Huang Xing were absent, but they were still elected.

The reshuffle has far-reaching implications. The cadres selected at that time were even more chosen for the moment, and these people had specialized knowledge and were familiar with the politics and scholarship of Europe, America, and Japan, and were not only outstanding at that time, but also played an important role in the complex and ever-changing political situation in China in the following decades.

Song Fuhua is indeed a genius in party politics, he has the ability, prestige, and skill to glue these elites together, and he has such cohesion and personal charm.

Presiding over the reorganization of the Revival Association this time, Song Fuhua also made indelible achievements in history, and the later victory of the Baath Party in the congressional election was proof of Song Fuhua's success.

Just as Song Jiaoren reorganized the Kuomintang in history, the Fuxing Society, which was the driving force of the revolution, after the reorganization, carried the wind and thunder of the revolution, gained great momentum and a large number of people, and became hidden in the ruling arena. After the revolution, the large and small parties that sprung up like mushrooms, such as the United Party, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, and so on, are simply difficult to match.

This means that there is no problem with the majority of the Congress, whether it is an interim president or a full president, if you want to get legal recognition, you can't bypass Congress. And the appointment of officials will not change much. More importantly, the laws and regulations already in place by the interim government will maintain continuity, and the designed construction steps will be implemented as planned.

The peace talks were held against such a background, and Chen Wenqiang became more and more energetic.

According to the discussion, Yuan's side raised various difficulties and strived to make the capital Beijing.

Chen Wenqiang did not argue strongly at first, and first avoided the important and trivialized. Divert the topic. It wasn't until he basically understood Yuan Fang's thoughts that he began to fight back.

"It is a fact that the north is unstable, and the interim government is quite worried. In order to prevent the country's territory and sovereignty from being seized by outsiders, the provisional government is willing to share Mr. Yuan's worries. Chen Wenqiang turned the topic back and began to refute them one by one, or to say the solution one by one. The general has not yet returned the border, and the children of Huxiang are full of Tianshan; The newly planted willow is 3,000 miles, attracting the spring breeze to Yuguan. In the past, Zuo Zhongyi was able to carry the coffin into Xinjiang and recover the territory of the motherland, and the current provisional government will also overcome difficulties and follow suit. ”

From the early Ming Dynasty, the descendants of the Jian family settled in Fengshu Township, Taoyuan County, and gave birth to the "second hometown of the Uygur people", to Zuo Zongtang carrying the coffin and leading his troops to recover Xinjiang. Both Huxiang and Xinjiang have deep historical ties.

The march to the north was a plan predetermined by the Provisional Government, and preparations have been underway. Even the commander of the Northwest Military Region had already been approved internally, and Li Yuanhong took the initiative to ask Ying to establish a meritorious achievement like Zuo Zongtang or Liu Jintang, which would shine in the annals of history.

The route of the march has also been determined, and it will follow the ancient commercial route, Hankou - Didao Prefecture - Liangzhou - Lanzhou - Anxi Prefecture - Hami - Urumqi. This trade route is relatively prosperous and densely populated. It's also easier to raise supplies.

At that time, Zuo Zongtang's difficulty in recovering Xinjiang was much greater than now, no matter how far the road was. It's still a funding problem, and there is always a solution.

When it comes to Xinjiang, we can't fail to mention the "King of Xinjiang" Yang Zengxin, who has a mixed reputation in the minds of Xinjiang people. Historically, in such a turbulent era as the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It is a miracle that Yang Zengxin, a native of Yunnan, has ruled Xinjiang for more than 10 years.

Yang Zengxin's word Dingchen, Zizhou, Xunchen, Yunnan Mengziren, Qing Guangxu fifteen years Jinshi. He was selected as the magistrate of Zhongwei County, Gansu Province, and served in Gansu for nearly 20 years. Because of the good governance and the reputation has been greatly increased, the local people have set up a moral political monument, built a shrine to praise its virtue.

In the 33rd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, Yang Zengxin was transferred to the general office of the Xinjiang Army Academy, and the following year he was sponsored by the political envoy of Xinjiang to the governor of the province, Yuan Dahua, and met with the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor, and was promoted to the post of Daoyin of Xinjiang Aksu. In the early days of his tenure in Xinjiang, Yang Zengxin showed his ability to be good at planning, alert, and daring.

For this reason, he won Yuan Dahua's appreciation and reuse. The Guangzhou Uprising in 1909 set off huge revolutionary waves and triggered violent political turmoil in the country. At that time, the ethnic separatist forces ****** Ili in Xinjiang launched a rebellion, killed the Ili general Zhirui, and declared independence. Yang Zengxin saw that the fall of the imperial court was imminent, so he suggested to Yuan Dahua, the governor of Xinjiang, that he should recruit troops on the grounds of defending the provincial capital and maintaining law and order.

Yang Zengxin is good at dancing with long sleeves, and while using Huairou means to appease, he also uses a big knife and a heavy hammer to implement force suppression. He relied on his political experience and military strength to quell the ****** uprisings in Hami, divided and suppressed the uprisings of the elders and peasants in various places, negotiated peace and reunification with the Ili military government, and gradually eliminated the influence of the junta figures and seized real power. He wrote in his diary: "Even if one person is born, thousands of people are not exempt from death, which is the root of the death of the living; Killing one person and tens of thousands of people will be born is the foundation of the life of the dead. Therefore, the head of the ditch should be punished, and it is not appropriate to indulge in evil. ”

After the stability of Xinjiang, Yang Zengxin was enthusiastic about "small countries and widows" and "ruling by inaction", and adopted the political proposition of Lao Tzu who did not care about current affairs for the provisional government and the northern regime, and adopted a policy of foolishness towards the people of Xinjiang, believing that the people could farm and learn some crafts, and did not want people to have knowledge and political ideas.

He pursued a policy of restraint and containment among the people of all nationalities, first dividing and ruling and then unifying. He often said that his subordinates should "tend to observe their actions by facts, and observe their integrity when they are profitable." Yang Zengxin did not believe in scientific knowledge, he believed that the books of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and miscellaneous schools in China in the past were sufficient, and there was no need to pursue many things from outsiders, and at most he could learn how to make guns, automobiles or other machines.

However, Yang Zengsheng was afraid that the army would collude and cause chaos, so he deliberately disrupted the system of the Xinjiang garrison, did not interact with each other, and went their own way. At the same time, the army was poorly paid, poorly equipped, and lacked training. For example, the 1st Division of the Xinjiang Army should have two brigades under its jurisdiction according to its establishment, and the actual number of troops was only about one regiment. Jiang Songlin, the commander of the division, was over seventy years old, with gray hair, and was already in his last years. Hami, Kashgar, and Ili each nominally had a brigade of garrisons, but in fact except for Ili, the garrisons of the other two places were less than one regiment. He also likened it, "Like a string of money." If you want to reconnect them on the ground, you need to pick them up one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious. ”

Indeed, these armies were dismantled in pieces. It is not a threat to Yang Zengxin's rule, but it also does not take much effort for the overwhelming and long-planned government army.

This is dialectics, Yang Zengxin must not have learned it, and now if he wants to learn it, it is too late.

The Provisional Government wanted to control the northwest region, and there was another important follow-up purpose, that is, resettlement and reclamation. It not only builds and develops Xinjiang, but also alleviates the contradiction between tenants and tenants caused by a large number of people and a lack of land in some areas.

Historically, after the population of the whole country exceeded 300 million in the Qianlong Dynasty, the contradiction between man and land was acute, and a large number of poor people in the interior were forced to "go to the west", "go to the east", "go to the ancient road", "go to the South Seas", and "go to Jinshan", forming five major waves of migration in modern times, all of which were unofficial behaviors characterized by making a living.

Among them, the "West Exit" in the folk "Go to the West Exit" generally refers to the killing of the tiger in Youyu County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province. Get out of this West Exit. In the past, Shanxi people took over the business world, Guihua and Suiyuan (collectively referred to as Guisui), Kulun and Duolun, Uriya, Sutai and Kobdo, Xinjiang and other regions.

"At home, there is no livelihood. West Exit Layman; Outside the mouth, there are countless and difficult things. "The vast grasslands and the vast sand sea, the people in the interior are forced to leave their hometowns to "go to the west" for their livelihoods, which is completely a spontaneous economic behavior, and their migration activities show a disorderly flow state.

If there is a government guide. policy support, then immigrants can really achieve the goal of "real border". Xinjiang is undoubtedly a large province with a small population, making it a suitable place.

However, Yang Zengxin implemented a policy of seclusion and self-control, except for those sent from the mainland. All of them will be rejected. A special card inspection was set up in Xingxing Gorge, and no one was allowed to enter without the approval of Yang Zengxin himself. Even those who have returned to the mainland from Xinjiang must apply for a passport from the provincial administration before they can leave Xinjiang and return to the mainland. In addition, Yang Zengxin also strictly guarded against news and public opinion. All kinds of mainland newspapers and periodicals ordered by people in the province were all detained by Yang and deposited with the provincial bureau for his own reading.

In order to test the attitude of the provisional government and the northern government, as well as the sincerity of the prince of Xinjiang to him, Yang Zengxin pretended to say: "I am tired of political affairs and ask to return to the forest." The princes of all ethnic groups immediately sent a joint telegram: support Yang Yongzhen in the west.

Therefore, for Yang Zengxin, Yuan believes that the time has not yet come, so he will win over for the time being; However, the provisional government was determined to send troops north in the name of preparing for the border area, and took advantage of the road to control Shaanxi, Gansu, Xinjiang, and even Inner Mongolia, thus forming a strategic encirclement of the Yuan clan in the north.

Originally, it was a difficult problem for Yuan to raise the border in the northwest, and in the opinion of him and his staff, the provisional government would not invest military and financial resources at this time under any circumstances. But he didn't expect Chen Wenqiang to take advantage of the situation and agree quickly.

What's the conspiracy? What kind of tricks are you playing? Are we fooled again?

Everyone in the Yuan family looked at each other, and they all became suspicious.

"In addition to the northwest, the northeast is also unstable!" Chen Wenqiang sighed, as if he was worried about Yuan Datou and them, "For the sake of the territorial integrity of the country and the fact that outsiders will not have an opportunity to take advantage of it, the provisional government is willing to share Mr. Yuan's worries, and is willing—"

"The Northeast is under the control of Yuan Gong, and there is no problem." Yang Shiqi subconsciously hurriedly stopped: "Duke Yuan has asked the Empress Dowager Longyu to issue an edict to the prince of Inner Mongolia 'not to breed doubts and perform all kinds of unconscious actions', as well as Xiliang in the northeast, Duke Yuan also sent a long telegram through the Empress Dowager to 'explain the benefits and disadvantages, and persuade all the provinces to take care of peace, all in favor of the republic, take into account the overall situation, and not make useless moves'. ”

"Does it work?" Chen Wenqiang said with a worried expression: "State affairs are important, and you must not abolish the public for personal reasons!" ”

Hu Weide looked at Chen Wenqiang and said cautiously: "Yuan Gong is patriotic and cares about the overall situation, Mr. Chen doesn't have to worry." Well, let's continue the peace talks! ”

"Okay, let's keep talking." Chen Wenqiang grinned and said, "Mr. Yuan is ready to go south to take the oath of office, which is really good news. Immediately after the talks, I sent a telegram to the south and asked the provisional government to send a special envoy to greet Mr. Yuan. ”

"After the peace talks are successful, it's not too late to talk about it." Hu Weide hurriedly added, for fear of being caught.

Chen Wenqiang stared at Hu Weide, and when he was uncomfortable, he leaned back with a smile and said, "Go on, keep talking!" ”

……………

At the end of the second round of peace talks, Yuan Shikai made concessions and agreed to go south to take the oath of office, but the question of the permanent capital was avoided by both sides. It seems to give outsiders the impression that Lao Yuan only needs to go to the south to go through the procedures and return to Beijing.

The dawn of peace talks has appeared, and the people are looking forward to the early reunification and stability of the country and the establishment of an authoritarian government at an early date.

But the secret war has not stopped, and there are still secrets. Although Yuan Shikai rejected the proposal of the provisional government to intervene in the northeast, things were not so simple. Because the three northeastern provinces have not yet responded to the revolution, have not yet declared a republic, and are not yet under the direct control of Yuan Shikai. In other words, the three northeastern provinces are now neither the provisional government nor Yuan Shikai's.

The arrangements of the provisional government are interlocking, and they are almost complete, and they are ready to be shipped. What's more, Chen Wenqiang sent another secret telegram, saying that the plan could be carried out normally. Since Xiliang had fallen to the Provisional Government, he had sent an invitation to declare that the Sectarian Party intended to rebel in Manchuria, so there was no difficulty in explanation.

Yao Yuping is about to lead his division across the sea again. In order to take care of the peace talks, the provisional government had withdrawn him and his troops from Shanhaiguan as agreed and were on standby in Dengzhou, Shandong. Now, his mixed association has been strengthened, with more infantry, cavalry, and artillery more than artillery, and the number of troops has reached 6,000.

Originally, it was not enough to control the Northeast with 6,000 people. But with Xiliang's help and the development of the people's army of the Fuxing Society, they only need to be stationed in Jinzhou and choke the throat inside and outside the Guan, and the development of events will basically follow the expected trajectory.

"It is necessary to give full respect to Xiliang and other Manchu officials, and in this extraordinary period, it is worthy of praise and admiration to be able to put aside the selfish thoughts of the ethnic group and group to which they belong and give priority to state affairs. Moreover, stabilizing the Northeast, shattering the dream of the Sectarian Party to return to seclusion, and stifling the covetousness of the Japanese people also require their vigorous cooperation. At the same time, the discipline of the army must be ensured so that the people of the northeast, including the banner people, ......"

The secret message was very long, and Yao Yuping conveyed it to the officers of the department. Subsequently, he ordered the staff officers to take out the materials closest to them and distribute them so that the officers could understand the current situation in the northeast.

The operation is about to begin, and perhaps this is the final blow, which may be the case for the Yuan family, the Zongshe Party, and the Japanese. (To be continued.) )
