Chapter 106

Jiang Baili, chief of the General Staff, got up to report on the pre-war preparations, and the excuse for starting the war was not something he should consider, and it was estimated that he would have to make an excuse if there was no excuse.

Of the eight Division A divisions that have been reorganized at present, except for one brigade of the Fourth Division, which is changing guards with the Ninth Division of Type B that is in Leng Yu, the rest of the troops have begun to assemble. In the direction of Henan, that is, on the Western Front, the 1st, 23rd Division, and a brigade of the 4th Division were assembled. Bengbu gathered the 5th, 6th, and 7th divisions, the 8th division was guarded by Fang Zhenwu's hometown, and the 8th division was accompanied by the 10th division (the B division was not organized into about 5,000 people) The division commander was Tang Zhidao.

Fang Jianxiong generously put the 11th Division reorganized from Jiangxi Bing in Wuchang to watch his family, and the division commander was Ouyang Wu. When Li Liejundong went to Nanjing, Ouyang Wu chose to leave and defected to the Wuchang side of the 106th chapter bloody case, and also brought a group of grassroots officers. The 12th Division, which was mixed with the Hunan soldiers and the Hubei soldiers, was stationed in Nanchang, with Wang Longzhong as the division commander. Liu Yutang was promoted to the commander of the 13th Division and led his troops to be stationed in Jiujiang. Shen Tongwu, who was summoned by Xu Shaojiao, was the commander of the 14th Division and was stationed in Yueyang. The 15th and 16th divisions each had 3,000 men for the time being, and there was only one shelf, and the division commander had not yet been appointed. The troops remained in Anqing for the time being, while continuing to replenish the troops and training. During the period of reorganization, the German advisory group played a huge role, and their greatest role was to bring some of the concepts of the regular army to the Wehrmacht.

The half-year crash course in Wuchang has trained more than 1,000 veterans who have experienced the early stage of the revolution and enriched the ranks of grassroots officers. These people can only be deputy platoon leaders and squad leaders, unlike the two-year army university. After graduation, he is a platoon commander. After this crash course, it was changed to a non-commissioned officer school, with a two-year duration of study. The Wehrmacht later issued a regulation that all noncommissioned officers and students must graduate from the University of the Army. Therefore, the first batch of Lu Dasheng are all lucky people, the products of the so-called urgency. This is all for later, so I won't mention it for the time being.

After the reorganization, the heavy artillery units were greatly strengthened. A total of six heavy artillery regiments were temporarily turned into two 106 chapter 106 bloody artillery divisions. Two 105 howitzer regiments and one 150 howitzer regiment in each artillery division. It's all German. Something that burns silver. Cheng Zhixuan, commander of the First Heavy Artillery Division, and Cheng Qian, the commander of the Second Division, will not have a division commander for the time being, and Cheng Qian will act as the division commander. To talk about this Cheng Qian. After attaching to him, he worked very hard, and Fang Dashuai felt that it was okay for him to bring artillery, so out of the heart of playing signs, he gave him an acting division commander to do it. However, the military rank is still colonel, and it is difficult for the National Defense Force to be promoted to general, and Cheng Zhixuan is still a colonel. Fang Jianxiong himself is just a lieutenant general, and he is still self-appointed. The one who was raised was given the title of marshal, but I didn't ask for it!

In fact, heavy artillery units are all regimental units, and in wartime, they are temporarily organized by divisions, so as to facilitate command.

The operational meeting lasted all day. The content is strictly confidential. Only officers at the level of division commander knew the contents, and the specific arrangements were as follows: once the war began, the three divisions of the Eastern Front, with the support of three heavy artillery regiments, would launch an attack on Jinan. The Jiaodong Self-Defense Army behind the Jinan side cooperated with the troops to fight. The Western Front marched to Henan with the strength of three divisions. It was cooperated by Wang Tianzong's bandit army.

In fact, Fang Jianxiong privately raised objections to this battle plan, believing that it was right to concentrate on the use of troops. Both Jiang Fangzhen and Zhang Xiaohuai insisted that with the current combat effectiveness of the National Defense Bureau, it was completely possible to divide the troops. Even Hamilton, a German, held this view. Fang Jianxiong gave up and obeyed the three chiefs of staff.

How to fight, now Fang Jianxiong basically doesn't speak, and only two sentences will be mentioned about things at the strategic level.

At the end of the meeting, Fang Jianxiong ordered the following: "Send a telegram to Xu Shaojiao in Beijing, stop negotiations and return to Bengbu, and all units must complete the assembly within the specified time in accordance with the requirements of the General Staff Headquarters...... The general election of the Republic of China, which was born in advance, due to Fang Jianxiong's sudden attack, Beiyang, which originally looked like a war, lost the election cleanly. The nationwide parliamentary elections began on October 1, and the KMT's advantage was widened by Fang Jianxiong's troubles, with 422 seats for the good side and 193 seats for the Progressive Party.

Shortly after the election results were announced, Soong Jiaoren, who had returned to Shanghai, was elected as the new prime minister and formed a cabinet to succeed Tang Shaoyi's interim cabinet. Interestingly, the day after the election results, on October 8, Sun and Huang both announced that they would not run for president, and Yuan Shikai was the only presidential candidate.

Fang Jianxiong was quite speechless about this, and hoped that it would be best to use the results of the general election for Sun Neng to be elected president, forcing Yuan Shikai to tear off his disguise as soon as possible. Fang Jianxiong was depressed for two days and did not recover, and after the power was turned on, Sun announced that he would go to Japan to inspect the railway, and he would do a set of railways to save the country. Huang Xing resigned from his post in Nanjing and went to Wuhu to meet with Fang Jianxiong.

During this meeting, Huang Xing said unexpectedly that after exchanges between Beijing and Yuan Shikai, he felt that Yuan Shikai was still a good candidate for president, and under his leadership, the country should be able to become rich and strong. Huang Xing also said that the troops under the former Nanjing banner, Yuan Shikai, deputy commander-in-chief, were organized into four infantry divisions, which were stationed in Xu Shou and Nanjing.

What's more interesting is that Yuan Shikai said in the telegram that "Long live Mr. Sun", and Sun replied in the telegram that Long live the president. I don't know if it was influenced by Sun, Huang Xing made an obedient response. Yuan Shikai sent a joint telegram in Beijing in the name of himself, Li Yuanhong, Sun Wen, and Huang Xing, saying: After consultations among the four people, the provisions of the Eight Political Programs were decided, which is the so-called joint declaration of the four giants in history. Anyway, Fang Jianxiong was left aside.

After Huang Xing left Wuhu, he returned to Shanghai, claiming that he was going abroad for inspection. Fang Jianxiong was so disappointed that he had to send a warship to send him back. Originally, I was going to persuade two sentences, but after thinking about it or giving up, after all, the Tao is different.

According to the revised provisional treaty law discussed by the three parties, the new Republic of China adopted a cabinet system, and Song Jiaoren, who organized the general election in Shanghai, went to Beiyang to form a cabinet.

At this time, Fang Jianxiong had basically completed the assembly of various troops. At the same time, the three new infantry divisions of Beiyang were also completed, and the Japanese-made equipment of Yishi was transferred from the northeast to the original 20th town in Shandong, and expanded into two infantry divisions, with the division commanders being Wu Xiangjiao and Lu Yongxiang. At the same time, Beiyang took advantage of the aftermath of the big loan to form two heavy artillery regiments, equipped with 105 Japanese field artillery. This military expansion has made small Japan, which sells arms at both ends, make a lot of money.

Song Jiaoren went north to form a cabinet, Huang Xing, Liao Zhongkai, and Yu Youren saw him off, and in the flow of people at Shanghai Railway Station, the high-spirited Song Jiaoren repeatedly said: "Stay, stay." ”

Huang Xing remembered what Fang Jianxiong said, and reminded him: "Fisherman, Fang Fuguo asked me to remind you not to forget the death of Wu Luzhen." Song Jiaoren waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "Xiang Cheng dare not do anything about such a big disapproval in the world." ”

After saying that, Song Jiaoren got on the train, and as soon as he took one foot, a short man in military uniform suddenly appeared inside, and shot Song Jiaoren, Song Yingsheng covered his waist, insisted for a while, and fell staggeringly, blood spilled from his fingers, soaking the carefully prepared dress. This scene happened in front of him, Huang Xing was directly stunned, and when he saw the chaos at the scene, he forgot to step forward to help. In the end, Liao Zhongkai came back to his senses first and shouted: "Save people quickly." ”

The group carried Song Jiaoren into the car and sent him to the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Hospital on Target Road for rescue. Song left his last words after waking up: "The purpose of Yu Bei's trip is to coordinate the opinions of the north and the south and concentrate the strength of the whole country to unite with the outside world. It is also known as: I hope that the president will be open-minded, proclaim justice, and do his best to protect the rights of the people, so that the Congress can establish an indestructible constitution. ”

Song Jiaoren, 31, died after leaving a will. The path of party constitutionalism was interrupted, leaving a trail of blood.

On the 15th, Sun and Chen Qimei returned to Shanghai from Japan, and this shocking bloody case unexpectedly came to a quick conclusion. The Shanghai government, which has always been inefficient, changed its past procrastination and caught the murderer three days after the incident. At this time, it happened that Sun and Chen arrived in Shanghai.

After investigation, the organizer was Ying Guixin, a big hooligan in Shanghai, the accomplice was Hong Shuzu, secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Wu Shiying, the murderer, and Zhao Bingjun, the new premier of the cabinet after Tang Shaoyi left office. (Here, according to the official history, it's probably enough, let's go to Baidu for details.) There is also a statement that is related to Sun, which will not be accepted here, and there is no clear evidence for what is recognized by historians, so it is best not to question it. Because the murder weapon and code book were found from Ying Guixin's home, it can be said that the evidence is ironclad.

Wu Shiying wanted to resist all the murder cases, but after Ying Guixin was arrested, he investigated and dealt with a lot of ironclad evidence. The matter was poked out by the press, and the world was in an uproar. The cabinet of the Beiyang Provisional Government actually did something that made people laugh and cry about this.

On the 17th, after the case was found out and known to the whole country, Zhao Bingjun telegraphed: A kind of judicial organ supervising the government and political parties has been found in Shanghai, and Song Jiaoren, Yuan Shikai, Liang Qichao, Zhao Bingjun, Wang Rongbao and others have been convicted, and Song Jiaoren is hereby sentenced to death for immediate execution. This is the Chinese Communist Association, a terrorist organization, and its president is Ying Guixin. This organization specializes in assassinating dignitaries as a means in order to achieve political goals. He also said that in the past, the alliance would use assassination to achieve political goals, setting a bad example.

Sun immediately called Fang Jianxiong after returning to Shanghai, saying: Yuan Shikai has exposed the true face of the dictator and should be attacked by force.

Fang Jianxiong called back and said: I expected it, and I said Chen Zhen. That is, to prepare for the army to discuss Yuan's affairs.

During this period, the Kuomintang had four complete infantry divisions in terms of military strength, which were much stronger than in history, and the commanders of the divisions were all Kuomintang people. Perhaps it is because of Fang Jianxiong's existence that the people's army in history looked forward and backward in an unexpected firmness.

After getting Fang Jianxiong's answer, Sun telegraphed the whole country: "Yuan Shikai destroyed the republic and was a sinner for the whole country." Appeal to the provinces to raise troops against Yuan. ”rq！！！
