Chapter 20: Don't be unpredictable!
Chapter 20: Don't be unpredictable!
"What is the purpose of the revolution? Strengthen the country and enrich the people! The Manchu Qing Dynasty was decaying, the people's livelihood was withered, and the people of the Revolution responded to every call, and then there was the independence of each province. Today, the revolution has not been completed, the Qing family is still there, and the unified Republic of China has not yet been established. The 40,000,000 compatriots who were looking forward to the success of the revolution had not yet brought about a happy change, and the military governments of various provinces had indiscriminately issued military tickets and forced them to buy and sell. How is this different from the Manchu rulers? Or even over! Today, there is Fang Lang, a citizen of the United Autonomous Region, who was born as a businessman since he was a child,......。 500,000 military tickets forcibly purchased 500,000 silver dollars of cloth, try to ask the Chongqing Military Government, is it an official? Is it a bandit? Sanjiang Trading Company is a legal enterprise registered in the United Autonomous Region, and has always operated legally and has never acted in a reluctance manner. The Chongqing military government first seized the seizure on the grounds of smuggling arms, and then forcibly bought Chapter 20 with the government's public power. Huge cargo. In this case, the Political Affairs Committee of the United Autonomous Region authorized the National Defense Forces Committee to intervene for a period of three days, and if the Chongqing Military Government could not stop issuing and withdraw all military tickets. The Defence Forces will take such military action as may be necessary to ensure the interests of the population of the Autonomous Region. This telegram is notified to the whole country, don't say it is unpredictable! ”
Fang Jianxiong can now be said to be in the limelight, and his every move has received national attention. Such a sudden electrification, the tone was extremely tough, and it naturally attracted the attention of the whole country. Then there was the newspaper propaganda, which was overwhelming. From the three towns of Wuhan to the east, newspapers in various provinces along the Yangtze River reported on the incident one after another. The military ticket is a magic thing, and the people know it best. What is the difference between this kind of forcible issuance of circulation vouchers based on violence and robbery?
The military spending in various provinces is insufficient, and military stamps have been issued one after another, and the people have suffered greatly. Fang Jianxiong suddenly stood up and expressed his views on the matter of military tickets, and he couldn't think of it without causing a sensation in the whole country.
Shanghai, the leader of the squad who had just touted the Northern Expedition, was once again active in the front line of the press debate. Essay "On Military Tickets". It was published in the newspaper "Market Variety", which has sold more than 20,000 copies.
"The essence of the military ticket, from the day it was born, is destined to be dirty and shameless plunder." Chapter 20: Don't be unpredictable!
"The various military juntas, including the Provisional Government, issued a large number of military stamps."
"May I ask all the people of the day, the governors of the provinces, is this the purpose of your revolution?"
Although this article is written in the vernacular, it is concise. Writing is like a knife. Penetrating. It can be described as a knife to the blood! The general's ticket has been thrown into the garbage heap of history.
When it is so lively, some people will naturally not miss the opportunity to mix. Liang Qichao delivered a speech in Yamashita Town, Yokohama, Japan, saying: The provisional government is 100 times more than the Qing court, and it is not the Qing court that fears the death of China, but the new government.
But Liang Qichao is already out of breath. No one takes his words seriously. A small stone was thrown into the sea, and none of the waves could be seen clearly.
On February 15, history had been reorganized. Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong is not very familiar with history.
In history, the Qing government, which had already issued an edict to abdicate, would not abdicate, and the Empress Dowager Longyu would hold a cabinet meeting again. Discuss abdication. After many disputes, it was finally decided to accept the abdication on the terms proposed by Yuan Shikai. This can be regarded as a tough attitude, and Fang Jianxiong will be blamed for the appearance of a tough attitude. After the appearance of this product, history was distorted. Originally, in history, when the Northern Expedition reached Shandong, it couldn't be fought anymore, and there was no money to fight. Distorted history, the Northern Expedition was postponed, but financial problems were alleviated. The Provisional Government was still ambitious.
Historically, the Beiyang Army, which was originally in Hubei, has now retreated beyond Wusheng Pass in Henan. The troops left in Henan by the Beiyang Army include all the second towns, the sixth towns and one association, the fourth town and one association, and the Wuxiang frame association. However, they are all defensive postures, keeping a distance of more than a hundred miles, which is because they are worried about irritating Fang Jianxiong.
After Fang Jianxiong sent troops to Jiangxi, Yuan Shikai first left the third and fourth towns and two towns to return to Beijing, and his purpose was naturally very clear. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Yuan Shikai urgently transferred Cao Kun south to Shandong, and the Fourth Town and Seventh Association, which were re-equipped with Japanese-made weapons, also urgently went south.
Ye Changshengxie, the fifth town who was supposed to fight with Lan Tianwei in Jiaodong, is now on his way to Zaozhuang.
Zaozhuang was victorious, and Yuan Shikai was in a very good mood. The third town is worthy of being elite, but after the victory of Laiyang, Yuan Shikai was troubled. Although the Jiaodong Self-Defense Army stayed in the Jiaodong Peninsula very safely, not even Weifang, but those guys were left by Sun Baoqi. If you want to say that this Sun Baoqi master and apprentice are enough to fuck up, what do you want to do if you leave so many soldiers and horses in Shandong? Yuan Shikai didn't think about letting the Fifth Town destroy the Jiaodong Self-Defense Army, and he never made up his mind.
Now it is said that this group has grown to more than 10,000 guns, and the tail is too big to fall, and it is even more difficult to destroy them. Therefore, this is the arrangement for Cao Kun to go south and the fourth town and the first association to go south. First defeat the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Provisional Government, and then talk about it, turn back, hum!
Just when the two units in the north and south that regarded themselves as governments were fighting, Fang Jianxiong suddenly jumped out to talk about the military ticket, and Yuan Shikai was not happy at all when he received the news. Fang Jianxiong's goods already occupy three provinces, and if Sichuan falls into his hands again, it will be even more of a headache. The problem is that Yuan Shikai is not without benefits in this matter, at least at the moment, it is very beneficial. Sichuan is an independent province under the Provisional Government, and it is the military governments that issue military stamps. Fang Jianxiong opened a knife on the military ticket and threatened Chongqing to use force, which was indeed a good thing for Yuan Shikai, who was fighting with the provisional government. At least for the time being, there is no need to worry about Fang Jianxiong going north, and he can concentrate on dealing with the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Provisional Government.
All in all, any contradiction between Fang Jianxiong and the provisional government, Yuan Shikai is happy to see it, and is very willing to add fuel to the fire, it is best for the two families to fight again, it will be good.
Fang Jianxiong made a fuss about military tickets, and the first to respond was actually the governor of Yunnan, Cai Jie, who sent a telegram to Hubei, saying that the so-called Han military government and Chongqing military government in Sichuan led to the split of Sichuan on the day of their establishment. This kind of harm to the people's government, my generation "revolutionary" military personnel should crusade against it.
With the first coaxing, there is the second. The one who followed the coaxing was Tan Yanmin, the overseer of Hunan, and the governor of licorice Huā was 800,000 yuan away to buy peace, and his heart was not steady. Fang Jianxiong wanted to crack down on the Chongqing Military Government, which abused military tickets, and Tan Dudu followed by a telegram saying: The Chongqing Military Government should examine itself and come up with a proper solution, and the top priority is to release the people first.
Tan Dudu's meaning is very clear, and the mud is coming. The incident is to be resolved peacefully.
Fang Jianxiong replied quickly, and said in a telegram: The United Autonomous Region Political Affairs Committee, authorized by the National Defense Force, protects the safety of the lives and property of the people under its jurisdiction, and has no intention of overthrowing the Chengdu and Chongqing military governments.
The implication is that this little thing, Lao Cai, don't get involved, don't think I don't know what you are doing. When you send troops, you must go to Zigong, you don't know you?
He then sent a telegram back to Governor Tan that the National Defense Forces are peace-loving, but they absolutely cannot tolerate damage to the interests of the people of the autonomous region. The three-day deadline will never waver. In addition, Cheng Qian, who was waiting in Wuchang, came to receive a batch of arms and 1,000 rifles.
These two callbacks were all handled with the help of Fang Jianxiong and a group of henchmen. Cai Ye was too far away, Fang Jianxiong couldn't reach it, so he politely rejected his kindness first, it is said that the Dian army is very capable of fighting, and Cai Ye rushed into Sichuan in front, so it would be troublesome. So, first respond with good words, and by the way, this is the autonomous region's own business.
As for Hunan, you're very welcome, you have money with me, I can pay the goods at any time, well, I can still pay the bills, and then send troops to fight you. Therefore, people who talk too much about this will not end well.
As the party concerned, the Chongqing military government naturally wanted to cry out for injustice, saying that this matter was not done, and it was completely fabricated. Then there is the Sanjiang trade, which is indeed smuggling arms, and the evidence is conclusive.
Chengdu has long been unhappy with Chongqing, and basically there is no good time between the two military governments. The civil strife in Sichuan in the following decades was basically dominated by the confrontation between Chengdu and Chongqing. With such a good opportunity to fall into the ground, Chengdu will certainly not be polite.
The military government in Chengdu is also a bunch of rotten things. After Yin Changheng deceived Zhao Erfeng into trusting and handing over the military power of the 3,000 border army, he immediately turned his face and denied anyone and cut off Zhao Erfeng's brain. and then grasped the power of Chengdu, and he did not do much in the business of issuing military tickets. Of course, history is not easy to say, Yin Changheng is still a positive figure in history. He was the hero of the Chengdu mutiny and the great man of the Western Expedition to pacify the Tibetan chaos. Aside from others, just to pacify the war, this gentleman can leave a heavy mark in the history books and can be called a hero.
As for now, it's not external, it's internal. Yin Changheng was not a member of the League, and in the early days of his tenure as governor, he was very unfriendly to the so-called military government in Chongqing. After Fang's telegram, Yin Changheng responded by telegram: The abuse of military tickets is really a move to harm the people, and the reunification of Sichuan is the wish of the Sichuan people.
Yin Changheng's telegram only said that the military ticket was abused and harmed the people, but did not mention the military ticket itself. Naturally, Fang Dashuai refused to buy it, and sent a telegram saying: "In the United Autonomous Region, military tickets will never be issued, and military tickets will absolutely not be tolerated to harm the people of the autonomous region." "This is gagging, Yin Changheng hasn't called back yet, and the overseers in all provinces across the country have begun to power up.
At the beginning of the revolution, the retreat of the Qing Dynasty was the work of the whole revolution, and when the financial situation was in pain, the military ticket was an expedient measure. When the revolution is successful, the provinces will set up banks and they will definitely have to withdraw their military tickets.
Don't say it, on the issue of military tickets, no provincial governor dares to say anything with a stiff neck.
The Nanjing Provisional Government also hastened to express its stance, saying: The Bank of China will be established soon, and after the establishment of branches in various provinces, the military stamps will be recovered. The Chongqing military government should do its best to give an explanation to the autonomous region on this matter. (To be continued!!
