Chapter 43: Chaos

The newspapers in the north and south reported on the abdication of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the new Republic of China, each touting and smearing their opponents for their respective masters. A new round of trilateral negotiations is about to begin, and a new round of struggle has begun.

There is no doubt that the establishment of a republican Republic became the focus of the tripartite talks. On March 5, the Political Affairs Committee of the United Autonomous Region sent a telegram to the whole country, saying: The Republic of China should be a democratic republic, and the tripartite talks should invite prominent people from all walks of life to attend as observers. Instead of the three parties closing the door to negotiate, one qiē is decided by the three parties. Without the recognition of the people of the whole country, how can the Republic of China talk about democracy? What about a republic?

The power before the resumption of the tripartite talks can be said to have thrown a bomb into deep water, and it was a white belly.

Elites from all walks of life have jumped out and are electrified! Power! Power! The core content is one, in response to this telegram, asking for participation in politics and discussion, and opposing the tripartite talks to monopolize the establishment of the country.

On the same day, the Nanjing Senate was unanimously announced, Yuan Shikai was appointed as the provisional president of the Republic of China, the provisional government stopped the Northern Expedition, and the Northern Expeditionary Army was reorganized on the spot. President Sun Da was surprised to speak.

Of course, some people don't pay attention to this, for example, Zhang Taiyan doesn't pay attention to this, but writes articles in newspapers against Nanjing, the capital. This article is "Letter to the Senate of Nanjing" and was published in the "Great Republic Daily" in Shanghai. Strongly say the "five evils" of Nanjing's capital.

What is the purpose of this article, it is not known at the time? But it soon led to a battle for the capital of the Republic of China.

The fact that the tripartite talks conformed to public opinion and invited prominent figures from all walks of life to attend the talks as observers was quickly recognized by the other two parties. In this matter, the forces represented by the United Autonomous Region have undoubtedly received heavy points. In all walks of life across the country, a concept was formed, united with the Autonomous Regional Committee, which led to the birth of a democratic meeting.

Most of the press's eyes were on the table. There were also some newspapers that focused on the reorganization of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Ask some of the more pointed questions, why was the Northern Expeditionary Army reorganized, instead of sending the troops from the provinces home? Another tabloid directly broke the news that the reorganization of the Northern Expeditionary Army was proposed and assisted by the Chinese and Japanese military advisers of the Nanjing Provisional Government. The Northern Expeditionary Army of Xuzhou, together with the Northern Expeditionary Army retreating from Shandong, was reorganized into five infantry divisions. The establishment of the Beiyang New Army was basically copied, and each division had a regiment of 75 mountain artillery pieces per day.

According to this newspaper, the Northern Expeditionary Army will purchase equipment from five artillery regiments from Japan, such a large arms deal. Probably the reason why Japanese people are so enthusiastic? At the same time, the newspaper also said. There were a large number of Japanese military advisers in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and each battalion had a Japanese military adviser. The report also said that the Nanjing Provisional Government had reached an agreement with Japan to lease Manchuria for 50 years and receive 20 million yen from Japan.

This report is so powerful, it's terrible. This tabloid called "Guantianxia" in Shanghai was set on fire that night, and all employees disappeared en masse. There is no one in life, and no corpse in death.

Before the press could recover from this tragedy, another incident occurred that shocked the whole country. Changsha Mutiny!

March 8th. Tan Yanmin led thousands of defeated troops to retreat to Yueyang, and telegraphed the whole country saying: The Changsha Hui Party colluded with Jiao Dafeng, Chen Zuo's new and old subordinates, Wang Longzhong, Peng Yousheng, An Dingchao, Li Jinshan and others, and launched a rebellion under the banner of revenge against Jiao and Chen. The rebels rose up on the night of the 6th and stationed the units of the 1st and 5th Hunan Divisions in Changsha. Responsive. In the rebellion, Mei Xin and Chen Binsheng were killed by the rebels, the first and fifth divisions were scattered, and Changsha fell into the hands of the rebels.

One thing after another, and people were still basking in the joy of the dawn of the republic, when they suddenly found that the country seemed to be in chaos.

The United Autonomous Region has once again reacted before the parties at this dawn of chaos.

Fang Jianxiong, commander-in-chief of the United Autonomous Regional National Defense Force, sent a telegram to the whole country in Wuhu, which was as follows. First, the tripartite talks and the grand republican gathering of elites from all walks of life are the cornerstones of the founding of the Republic of China. Second, the reorganization of the Northern Expeditionary Army by the Provisional Government, the hiring of Japanese military advisers, and the procurement of Japanese-made arms were all normal things. Let me ask you, which of the provinces today is not purchasing arms? Which one is not desperately expanding the army? Which army does not have a foreign affairs adviser? Third, the Changsha Rebellion has undermined the current excellent situation of peaceful nation-building, and the National Defense Forces will never sit idly by. Tan Du has been contacted and if he requests for help, the National Defense Forces will enter Hunan to help quell the rebellion. Fourthly, the Wehrmacht issued a stern warning that at a time when the whole country was looking forward to a republic, all those who seized local power by military means were listed as the primary targets of the Wehrmacht. Fifth, in the matter of renting Manchuria, there is no evidence, and it is not possible to chase after the wind and shadows, and use false rumors to ruin the reputation of comrades. Sixth, the Shanghai government should do its best to investigate this case and give an explanation to the people of the world.

At present, Fang Dashuai, who is the most capable of fighting in China, can imagine the significance of sending such a telegram. All kinds of signs of chaos seem to have been frightened back. The most striking thing about Fang Dashuai's telegram is that it seems to be speaking for the provisional government, but in fact, when he thinks about it carefully, it seems to be a warning.

On the 8th, a new round of tripartite talks began, attended not only by representatives of the three parties, but also by dozens of prominent figures from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places.

The first day of talks was clearly not successful. In a friendly atmosphere, the two sides were at loggerheads and did not give in to each other. The first topic of the talks was stuck.

This topic is naturally the topic of Nanjing, the capital of Dingdu. After Wu Tingfang informed the Nanjing Provisional Government of the three points, Tang Shaoyi immediately stood up to express his opposition and listed all kinds of harms of the fixed capital of Nanjing. The two sides were at a stalemate, and the delegation of the United Autonomous Region unexpectedly fell into silence, with no intention of intermingling at all.

So, the two sides continued to quarrel, and after a day, to no avail, they went home and prepared to quarrel again tomorrow.

In Wuhu, there are only three people in Fang Jianxiong's office, Fang Jianxiong, Zheng Quan, and Yin Ruizhi.

What really happened in Hunan? The intelligence station in Hunan of the Military Intelligence Bureau had not yet reported on it, and Zheng Quan, the head of the Economic Intelligence Bureau, came to the door first to report on what had happened in Hunan. The relationship between Li Muyan and Zheng Quan is very delicate, and everyone knows this.

Fang Jianxiong was very happy to see the emergence of this state of competition, so Zheng Quan came to report, and Fang Dashuai's expression was very happy.

"The Changsha Station of the Economic Intelligence Bureau called, and the root of the rebellion in Changsha was the death of Chen Zuoxin in Jiao Dafeng. At that time, after Huang Xingchang's persuasion, he was temporarily suppressed for the time being, focusing on the overall situation of the revolution. Mei Xin was promoted to the commander of the Fifth Division of the Hunan Army, and Tan Yanmin was even more convicted of being a murderer in the eyes of the old party. Afterwards, Tan Yanmin colluded with Chen Binsheng, the commander of the Changde Patrol Battalion, to kill Yang Ren, the envoy of the West Road appointed by Jiao Dafeng, and Yu Hualong and several others. Later, Chen Bin was transferred to Changsha and sent Long Zhang as an envoy on the West Road. and so on, and the states fell into his hands, and also bought the bane of the remnants of the Hui Party and other revolutionary parties. After the Battle of Hankow, most of the Hunan troops returned. The marshal allowed him to return with weapons and returned to the Hunan army, led by Wang Longzhong, who had the heart to avenge Jiao Chen. After Mei Xin was promoted to the commander of the fifth division, she became more and more domineering, and was jealous of Tan, so Wang Longzhong was the commander of the second division, and the department was assigned to the second division. The purpose is to balance Mei Xin. ”

This history has been a bit messed up, in parallel history, Tan Yanmin, the governor, is still very stable, if it weren't for the second revolution jumping out and doing something that is not in line with Yuan's identity, this Hunan governor would still be there.

In this time and space, Mei Xin is ambitious and restless. Tan Yanmin first promoted Chen Bin to the commander of the first division to contend with him, and then introduced Wang Longzhong, who was supposed to be killed in Wuhan, to suppress him. Unexpectedly, hatred is difficult to break the root, Wang Longzhong and his subordinates all want to avenge Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin. Catching up with Chen Binsheng, there are also a group of enemies, and they are also worried about killing Chen.

The most fatal thing was the officers and soldiers under Wang Longzhong, who all crawled back from the pile of dead people in Wuhan. Many people were saved by the Anhui army's field medical team with expensive sulfonamides, and Zheng Quan, who was in charge of the Economic Intelligence Bureau, developed a group of officers among the wounded officers of the Hunan army. When the Hunan army returned, Fang Jianxiong was polite and gave a batch of Hanyang products, in order to buy people's hearts. These soldiers who came back from the battlefield were already strong in combat effectiveness, and after returning home with neat equipment, they were much stronger than other local Hunan troops.

In other words, Fang Dashuai's intervention in Wuchang indirectly led a group of Hunan officers and soldiers who had died in the defense of Hanyang in large numbers, and they all survived and returned to Hunan. Most of these people are Jiao Dafeng's old department. If it weren't for Huang Xing's pressure, he would have been able to fight back to Changsha.

Looking at this problem from a certain side, Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin, two revolutionaries, are really too 2. It's no problem to aid Hubei, you should throw people like Mei Xin to Wuhan, and send your cronies to send out their troops, but no one can save them. Look at how Tan Yanmin plays, which one is disobedient, so he will be thrown to Wuhan to practice with the Beiyang Army.

You can't kill people with a knife, this kind of stunned young man is also a governor, and it's strange not to be hacked to death. What is the difference between being incompetent and in a high position and looking for death? It's like a kid walking down the street with a few gold bars! Don't think that the success of the revolution will depend on, for the sake of power, someone will still want to kill you.

Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin's ending, especially that the enemy is too cunning, it is better to say that he is too stupid.

In this world, there is really no shortage of a kind of person, even if he is stupid, he also likes to point fingers at others, so as to be a teacher. This kind of person, lost in such a troubled world, has no other result than being killed. Lost in the real society, it is estimated that it is also a crippled goods. It doesn't matter if people are stupid, I'm afraid that I don't know that I'm stupid, and I like to show off everywhere, which is too annoying.

In general, Granny Tan is still very good at being a person. Wang Long and others didn't hate him either, but they were ruthless Mei Xin and Chen Binsheng and the original patrol battalion Huang Zhonghao.

How do you say this? Huang Zhonghao's subordinates, that is also revenge for Huang. Anyway, things are a bit complicated here, everyone is here for revenge, and there are too many such chaos in this era. (To be continued) RQ
