Chapter 85: To Each His Own Way (5)

Also on the 29th, the two peace talks finally reached a preliminary compromise under the attention of the consuls.

In the negotiations in Hankou, Yang Shiqi led Li Muyan and Sun Baoqi. Originally, Sun Baoqi persuaded Fang Jianxiong to attend as well, but Fang Jianxiong said: "Yuan Shikai didn't attend, why should I attend?" Sun Baoqi felt uplifted when he heard this, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized Fang Jianxiong's true thoughts, that is, putting himself and Yuan Shikai in an equal position to look at the problem.

His students have big ambitions, and Sun Baoqi is very happy!

The consuls of various countries led by the British consul appeared to observe the peace talks, and finally signed the armistice agreement in black and white, literally stipulating the territory of both sides. The Beiyang Army unconditionally withdrew from the jurisdiction of Anhui and Hubei. An armistice was agreed to be for three months. The specific details of the withdrawal will be agreed upon by the two sides.

After the contract was signed, both parties breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Jianxiong was finally able to take advantage of this time to thoroughly sort out internal affairs. There are not many problems with the army, and the governments of Anhui and Hubei should talk about it well.

The first phase of the peace talks in Shanghai also yielded the results of the first phase, when an agreement was reached to convene a national conference and referend on the national system and the withdrawal of Qing troops from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Hubei, Anhui, and other places within five days. It's just the hearts of Anhui and Hubei, and Shanghai's side is a white worry.

The results of the peace talks between the north and south of Shanghai caused a sensation throughout the country, and all the independent provinces were moved by the alliance. A large newspaper naturally reported on this big event, but unexpectedly, it was an article by Wu Yanggu that caused a sensation.

The article raises serious doubts about the report of the Minli Daily. He claimed that in the process of contact with Fang Jianxiong, he received his strong support for the revolution many times. Referring to the fact that Fang Jianxiong was able to take out 50,000 oceans to sponsor the revolution when he was in his first life, Wu Yanggu said in the article: Yu can feel Fang Jun's enthusiasm for the revolution, but at that time, Brother Fang was burdened by his family house and could not go to the revolution in person. Anqing Xiongbu uprising. Fang Jun coincided with his meeting, but he was only a hundred people, and he was among tens of thousands of Qing troops. How to help the theory of suppressing the revolution. On the contrary, thanks to Fang Jun's mediation in many ways, hundreds of revolutionary comrades were rescued, and hundreds of people are still serving in the Anhui army. I don't know where the news of "Minli Daily" came from? Chen Jun in Shanghai wanted to raise funds for Guangzhou, and Yu went to Wuhu with him to get 20,000 yuan and a batch of guns and ammunition. The rear gentleman was afraid of inconvenient transportation, so he sent it to Shanghai. The events at that time are vivid, and Fang Jun's enthusiasm for the revolution is still very deep. Thinking about it, Chen Jun forgot about it!

The day after the Wuchang uprising, Fang Jun raised an incident in Anqing, which was the result of his many years of operating the new army and his headquarters. Later, Yu knew that even if there was no Wuchang matter. Fang Jun will also be righteous. Compared with the hasty and chaotic uprising of Wuchang, the Anqing Revolution can be described as bloodless, and this party has also made a plan. The comrades of the Anqing League and the Guangfu Association did not participate in the uprising, and they had to be reused afterwards. Fang Jun entrusted the Northern Expedition with the heavy burden. However, the Anhui comrades conspired with the comrades sent by Chen Jun in Shanghai to seize Hefei and set up another overseer to replace Fang Jun. Yu persuaded him to no avail, and the rear gentleman went to Hefei to resolve the incident in a snap of his fingers. It is only to send the comrades and pay for the journey. Fang Jun's benevolent move, Yu deeply admired, from his stay in Hefei to serve the construction of Sangzi.

When an article by Wu Yanggu came out, people from all walks of life were in an uproar. Others say that Fang Jianxiong's this and that doesn't count, Wu Yanggu is an old revolutionary party, he said Fang Jianxiong's good words, it must not be wrong. Wu Yanggu jumped out of righteous indignation to speak, and immediately put the "Minli Daily" in an embarrassing situation.

………………

"Ince, how could the "Minli Daily" publish an article attacking Fang Fuguo?" Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing, who rushed to Shanghai from Nanjing, immediately asked about this matter after seeing Sun and Chen Qimei. In addition to Sun and his advisor dog Yangyi, Sun glanced at Chen Qimei silently, and had no intention of speaking.

"The newspapers have freedom of the press, and Fang Fuguo's blatant opposition to the Provisional Government's ambitions is obvious, why can't it be exposed? After the recovery of Shanghai, Fang Fuguo's soldiers still occupy the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, what is the purpose? Isn't it just for arms? He's only been doing business for a few days, huh? With so many troops formed, if this person does not deal with it early, it will definitely become a big disaster for our alliance. I asked the newspapers to report on his misdeeds, and I didn't talk nonsense. When the Anhui army was in Hanyang, it didn't listen to Keqiang's deployment, this is always a fact, right? Chen Qimei stalked her neck in defense, her fair face flushed, and her breathing was not so smooth. Huang Keqiang was brought to these words, and Huang, who wanted to say something, immediately lost his words.

"Confused! Who is Fang Fuguo? The entire Shanghai-Nanjing line was recovered by him, Hanyang held on, northern Anhui was swept away, the Beijing-Han line fought fiercely, and Hankou was recovered. Take 10,000 steps back, Fang Fuguo has meritorious service to the revolution and kindness to the alliance, anyone can attack him, you Chen Yingshi can't! Song Jiaoren stammered a little, the more he spoke, the more excited he became, his fingers were messy, and he almost poked Chen Qimei's nose.

"Okay, don't argue, it's already happened, let's find a way to make amends. And that "All States in the Market", go check what's going on? Sun's timely remarks interrupted what might have erupted into a heated debate.

"The Hubei delegates received a telegram from Wuchang saying that the Hubei military government would not join the provisional government for the time being. Li Yuanhong has also changed his hexagram! Huang Xing said a word, Sun's face was gloomy, and he frowned: "The provisional government is about to be formally established, and we must do our best to obtain Fang Fuguo's understanding." ”

"People think that it is difficult for Fang Jianxiong to reach agreement with the Alliance. According to the Japanese who participated in the war in Hanyang, Fang Fuguo's troops were very unfriendly to Brother Keqiang, and even beat Keqiang's son. Dog Yangyi said quietly, Huang Xing's face condensed and said: "The dog is to blame, and he can't blame others." ”

"The key now is still those people in the Restoration Society, surnamed Tao will not miss the opportunity to deduct pots from Mr., and there is also a madman Zhang!" Chen Qimei hurriedly asked this question, Sun's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, and when he was proud of the spring breeze, he was poured a scoop of cold water on his face, which was really uncomfortable.

"Let's take a trip to Hanyang and try to resolve this grievance. After all, Fang Fuguo didn't mean to target Mr. Sun. Only concerns about the Provisional Government were expressed. Song Jiaoren took the initiative to ask, Chen Qimei's eyes rolled wildly, and she said loudly: "It's not appropriate, isn't the fisherman's brother going to bow his head to the surname Fang?" In my opinion, we still have to rely on public opinion, at least to get back the momentum. ”

"Don't worry about supporting the country for now, the key thing at the moment is the provisional government. Fang Fuguo and Yuan Shikai should have reached a compromise, this is a betrayal of the revolution! The Minli Daily can make some articles around this, and we must continue to hold high the banner of the Northern Expedition, so as to unite the people's morale. But if you want to go on the Northern Expedition, you need to have an army and a salary. It comes down to a financial issue. Huang Xing was on the side and the mud was raised, but it was another headache.

"For the time being, we can only rely on borrowing, and at present, the European and American powers only recognize Yuan Shikai, and it is difficult to talk about borrowing." At the mention of this, Sun's face was a little more sad, and he habitually turned his head to look at the dog Yangyi.

"Yat-sen! I'll do my best! Inu Yangyi replied very simply, whether it was successful or not, and his attitude was very good.

……………………

In Hanyang, Li Yuanhong took Tang Hualong, Sun Wu and others to Fang Jianxiong's headquarters again, and the vice president had an effect. Although he was reluctant to give up the little remaining pitiful territory at the moment, but thinking that Fang Jianxiong's tens of thousands of tiger and wolf troops were on the other side, Li Yuanhong could only pinch his nose and admit it. This Fang Jianxiong is not a patient person at all, the Beiyang Army is still fighting, the British hard top, and the Nanjing Provisional Government has not yet been born, and it is clear that it does not intend to admit it.

One thing that Minli Bao is right about is that this guy is indeed a reactionary warlord! Against the Provisional Government, which is blatantly in opposition to the people. But why are so many people willing to take refuge in him?

Li Yuanhong's helplessness no one can understand, it is also a revolutionary party, and these people in Hubei are playing in their hands, and they can sit in the position of governor in three or two clicks. For Jianxiong above, this guy doesn't play any tricks with you, but there is no room for resistance in front of him. To put it bluntly, there are two words "strength". With tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, whoever fights will lie down, Fang Jianxiong doesn't need to play tricks with you.

Li Yuanhong can be sure that if he doesn't accept Fang Jianxiong's set, sooner or later he will have to lead his troops across the river to ask for an explanation. What strength does the current Hubei military government have? More than 10,000 recruits, the rebellious navy is now taking this Jianxiong's supplies and salaries, can they still listen to you Li Yuanhong? The Yangtze River is not as dangerous as the navy, and it is still called a bird's natural risk? The cannons on Turtle Mountain can bombard the Governor's Office.

In Fang Jianxiong's headquarters, a formation was set up, and the borrowed desks in the school were side by side, and the gray cloth was spread out to become a conference room. Military and political dignitaries from Hubei and Anhui gathered and sat on both sides. Fang Jianxiong, who was sitting in the first place, strangely thought of the underworld drinking tea. In some movies, the boss slams the table and stands up, and the posture of stepping on the stool with one leg is very awkward!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the two provinces are the first and the other is secondary, and today's decision to unify the military and government is really a major event today." Sun Baoqi presided over the meeting, and the spring breeze looked proud, which was a little bit of the meaning of the old tree sprouting.

It was a successful negotiation, and under the premise of a military leader, Hubei followed the example of Anhui in separating the military from the government. The military government was abolished and the Hubei People's Government was established. The Hubei Military Region and the Anhui Military Region were established, and the armies of the two provinces were reorganized under one banner.

The first item of negotiation is the army, there are eight associations in Hubei before and after, and the Beiyang Army has almost no blood and bones, and now there are six associations left, which is a total of about 15,000 people. The original two artillery teams are now also in Hanyang. (Site. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
