Section 217 Fighting against Yuan
Since Brother Pao arrived in Japan, this time the Japanese treated him like a guest, and Brother Pao got a large amount of funds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
With the money and the vitality of his mind, he began to think about the matter of another revolution suggested by the Japanese.
As a great revolutionary, if the anti-Qing Dynasty is successful, can you still oppose Yuan, as long as you don't grasp the power one day, then you must go down one day. It took eight years for the United States to become independent, and he intended to follow Washington's example and dare to fight the Eight-Year War.
Song Jiaoren's killing gave Brother Pao the opportunity to actively encourage his subordinates to launch a second revolution and crusade against Yuan Shikai.
However, even their generals Huang Xing and Chen Qimei said that the troops were insufficient and advocated using the law to solve the problem.
However, Brother Pao is very forward-looking and believes that Yuan Shikai will never accept the legal solution, and advises comrades not to have illusions about Yuan Shikai.
Brother Pao's activities there, and he couldn't hide any news from Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai immediately borrowed 25 million pounds from Britain, France, the United States and Germany, intending to solve the southern artillery forces by force.
Brother Pao strongly opposed Yuan Shikai's loan, and personally wrote letters to the banking groups of these countries, saying that the Chinese people did not accept and did not recognize such loans.
At the same time, he instructed Li Liejun, the governor of Jiangxi, Hu Hanmin, the governor of Guangdong, and Bai Wenwei, the governor of Anhui, to send a telegram against the loan, and Yuan Shikai dismissed the governors of the three provinces on the pretext that the governors of the three provinces did not care about the overall situation, and at the same time ordered the Beiyang Army to go south along the railway.
In July, the naval forces stationed in Shanghai were co-opted by Brother Pao, Brother Pao immediately secretly went to Shanghai, Jiangxi Governor Li Liejun secretly went to Shanghai, met Brother Pao, after some negotiations, Li Liejun rushed back to Jiangxi, recruited the old department, swore in Hukou, Jiangxi, announced that Jiangxi Du Li, organized a fight against Yuan Jun, appointed himself commander-in-chief, and issued a telegram to discuss Yuan.
Huang Xing forced Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, to declare Jiangsu Du Li in Nanjing and arm Yuan to fight against him. Subsequently, Anhui, Hunan, Guangdong, Fujian, Chongqing and other provinces and autonomous regions successively announced their establishment and joined the ranks of Yuan.
The war against Yuan officially began.
That's how things go, who's right and who's wrong? There is no right or wrong! Political struggles, power struggles, where there is right and wrong, different personal positions, different opinions. At the very least, Yang Chao thinks that all the people who bring chaos are reactionaries.
And to bring six or seven provinces into the war at once, this is a fighter among the reactionaries.
However, unlike history, Shanghai did not participate this time, Shanghai was monolithic under Xie Guanhui's management, and Brother Pao lobbied Xie Guanhui for a long time, but Xie Guanhui just didn't announce Shanghai Duli.
Brother Pao loves Shanghai so much because Shanghai's international status is high enough, and because Shanghai is close to the sea, he can run at any time, which is very in line with his habit of retaining a useful body.
But since the mayor of Shanghai, a free city, doesn't know each other, then don't blame Brother Cannon for being polite, Chen Qimei, one of the three giants of the Cannon Party, immediately began to connect in tandem and act in Shanghai, gathering the Youth Gang brothers to form a revolutionary army.
What Chen Qimei didn't know was that as soon as he returned to Shanghai, he was already being targeted by the Shanghai authorities, and he still had a life on his back, and he was a murderer wanted by the Shanghai Police Department.
As a result, Chen Qimei contacted some Shanghai tycoons here, and the Shanghai Youth Gang sold him, Xie Guanhui actively responded, but he was most worried that Shanghai would be involved in the war, the last revolution made Shanghai's market depressed for a few months, and he really couldn't afford to hurt it, so he immediately secretly mobilized the "patrol" and arrested Chen Qimei and others who were holding Sister Yao smoking cigarettes in a big tobacco house in the concession.
Chen Qimei, the first general under Brother Pao and the first hero of the revolution, was arrested instead. Brother Pao didn't expect Xie Guanhui to dare to enter the concession to arrest people, they didn't dare to enter the concession when they were revolutionary, he suddenly felt that Shanghai was not safe, and ran to Guangzhou on a naval warship.
Yang Chao immediately told Yuan Keding that the matter had been done, and all the people who should be arrested in Shanghai had been arrested, so it would be tried in Shanghai.
Yuan Shikai did not need to refute Yang Chao's face, so he agreed to try Chen Qimei and others in Shanghai.
Yuan Shikai himself urged the Beiyang Army to move south quickly, and soon exchanged fire with the Jiangxi army, the Beiyang Army quickly occupied Jiujiang, and then Yuan Shikai continued to gather troops to Jiujiang, a few days later, the Beiyang Army began to attack Hukou, the generals and soldiers of the Jiangxi Army mutinied, Hukou fell, and Li Liejun led the rest of the troops to retreat from the waterway to Wucheng.
Cheng Qian, director of the Military Department of the Hunan Governor's Office, actively contacted Tan Yanmin and the Sichuan side, hoping that the three routes would send troops to attack Wuhan and cooperate with the Jiangxi army in the battle. The Gan army, which had been unable to receive support for a long time, almost completely lost the ability to counterattack under the attack of a strong enemy.
The Beiyang army marched straight to Changchang, the Jiangxi army was repeatedly defeated, and retreated without a fight, the Beiyang army made smooth progress all the way, and soon captured Wucheng, and Li Liejun led the rest of the troops to retreat to Nanchang. Ouyang Wu, the governor of Jiangxi who stayed in Nanchang, heard that Wucheng was lost, and immediately slipped away, and Liao Bolang, the commander of the military police who stayed in Nanchang, closed the city gate tightly and refused Li Liejun to enter the city.
The Beiyang army attacked Nanchang, the Jiangxi army was defeated, and repeatedly defeated and retreated, the Beiyang army soon invaded the city, Li Liejun retreated to Hunan, and finally saw that the general trend had gone, dismissed the rest of the army, and died overseas. The remnants of the Jiangxi army surrendered to the Beiyang Army.
Jiangsu Cheng Dequan did not approve of armed attack on Yuan, and Huang Xing, who forced him, did not approve of force against Yuan in his heart, and came to Nanjing only to submit to Brother Pao's opinion. After Cheng Dequan took the opportunity to get out, he ran to Shanghai and telegraphed to indicate that Jiangsu's courting of Yuan had nothing to do with him.
The internal opinions were not unanimous, the Beiyang Army and the Jiangsu Army fought in the area of Xuzhou and defeated it, Huang Xing fled to Shanghai when he saw this, and other military and political leaders under Brother Pao also ran away. As soon as these people ran, Jiangsu immediately announced the cancellation of independence and invited Cheng Dequan to come back. The Jiangsu army defected to the Beiyang Army one after another, and the power of Brother Cannon disappeared in Jiangsu.
Like Jiangxi and Jiangsu, the hesitation was hastily launched by Brother Artillery, without the consent of the provincial overseers in advance, the internal contradictions in the provinces were numerous, and it was difficult to coordinate and unify the military and political orders, and under the attack of the Beiyang Army, they failed one after another. Anhui Bai Wenwei was defeated and absconded, most of the subordinates of Chen Jiongming, the governor of Guangdong, had colluded with Yuan Shikai early, and Yuan Shikai bribed Lu Rongting, the governor of Guangxi, and Long Jiguang, a subordinate of Chen Jiongming, and the two of them should jointly attack the governor's mansion, and Chen Jiongming fled in a hurry; Hunan Governor Tan Yanmin had no intention of fighting Yuan at first, and the troops who rescued Jiangxi deliberately acted slowly, and when they arrived at the border of Hunan and Jiangxi, Jiangxi failed to fight against Yuan, and Tan Yanmin announced the cancellation of independence; On the Sichuan side, Chongqing declared independence, but was attacked by Sichuan and finally defeated; The Fujian side of the Yuan army was also attacked or coerced by the enemy, and was defeated one after another.
In less than two months, all the troops in the southern provinces were defeated by Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai made Brother Pao, Huang Xing and others wanted for the rebellious party, but these people fled to Japan, and the whip was beyond the reach of the whip.
Pegging Yuan is just a farce, a joke.
But in the final analysis, the assassination of the eldest brother was not right first, which gave Brother Pao a far-fetched reason.
It's just that in this way, their attitude within the GM Party is not completely consistent, but Yuan Shikai has the support of the whole world, and no one likes China's never-ending turmoil, which affects the interests of all countries too much, except for one country, of course, Japan!
After the defeat again, Brother Pao ran to Japan, and this time Japan even increased its support for Brother Pao, and actively encouraged Brother Pao to make persistent efforts to continue the revolution.
With the yen-funded Brother Pao, this time he was smart, remembered Huang Xing's legal proposal to discuss Yuan, and shouted in the newspapers, demanding that the murderer of Song Jiaoren be punished.
Yuan Shikai, on the other hand, demanded that Chen Qimei, who had assassinated the revolutionary hero, be tried first, and both sides took up legal weapons to launch a public opinion war in their favor.
"All the illegal ways, should not appear. Tao Chengzhang should not be assassinated, and Song Jiaoren should not be assassinated, and it is the most appropriate way to solve it by law. Now that we have a Congress and we have a way to peacefully express our solutions, why are we talking with a knife? ”
Yang Chao said to a reporter from Yantai Daily who came to interview.
A nation that will never learn to compromise and retreat, and who will not learn to solve problems through negotiation and discussion, might as well let an emperor rule them roughly!
The reporter said: "Are you supporting the legal trial of Wu Shiying?" ”
"Of course, the Shanghai court has been investigating and collecting evidence, but some people don't believe in the law and have to pick up a knife to solve it by force, I don't understand why?"
After Song Jiaoren was assassinated, the two were soon arrested in the concession, and confessed to Yuan Shikai's secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Hong Shuzu, who was recommended by Zhao Bingjun to be reused by Yuan Shikai. But these evidences obviously cannot prove that Yuan Shikai personally gave the order.
Yuan Shikai instead insisted that it was Brother Pao's subordinate Huang Xing who killed Song Jiaoren, because after Song Jiaoren formed the GM Party, he became the chairman, and Huang Xing has been fighting with Song Jiaoren for this chairman. Wu Shiying, who was responsible for the direct assassination, and Ying Guixin, the mastermind behind the scenes, also have a background in the Green Gang, Ying Guixin is the leader of the Green Gang, and Wu Shiying is a Green Gang ruffian who has participated in the Revolutionary Army.
The two sides had their own disputes, and they both publicized their reasons in the newspapers, so in this war, Brother Pao did not incite all the forces of the Alliance, and Tan Yanmin in Hunan and Cheng De in Jiangsu were not very active, and finally made Brother Pao's war against Yuan a complete defeat.
But if logical reasoning goes, the GM Party is now the largest party in the National Assembly, and if elected, it is quite possible that Soong Kyo-in will be the next president. Therefore, Yuan Shikai's motive for assassinating Song Jiaoren is the greatest, but the law is about evidence, and it is impossible for the Shanghai court presided over by Wu Tingfang, a legal expert, to convict Yuan Shikai, and the evidence can only be collected to Zhao Bingjun.
This made Brother Pao very dissatisfied, so he finally decided to solve it by force.
The reporter asked: "If the evidence shows that President Yuan participated in the assassination, do you support the trial of the president?" ”
"Of course, the law is supreme, and all of us must respect the law and obey the law, under which there is only one equal citizen, and there is no distinction between the president and the common people!"
Yang Chaodao said very solemnly. (To be continued.) )
