Chapter 71: Historical Inertia
Of course, Yuan Shikai refused to be arrested, and Yuan Shikai in another time and space, in order to clean up the Kuomintang, took the road of first dividing and disintegrating, and then solving it militarily. This has a lot to do with the loose system of the League itself. Of course, there are two prerequisites for Yuan Shikai to achieve division and disintegration, the first is to have the name of the president, and the second is to have money.
In this time and space, Yuan Shikai's character and style determine that he will not take risks unless he has to. Lao Yuan believes too much in his ability to schem, and he is really good at this.
In the face of the alliance between Sun and Fang, Yuan Shikai took the countermeasure to solve the problem of money first.
Zhu Erdian came to Yuan's mansion and talked for two hours before leaving. When Yuan Shikai sent it out, it was a little easier. Let someone call Liang Shiyi and instruct: "You can go to the customs office tomorrow, and Zhu Erdian replied that the seventy-first chapter of historical inertia should be handed over to Beiyang." ”
Liang Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief, the foundation for the maintenance of this group in Beiyang is the Beiyang Army, the huge Beiyang team, and the financial resources. Previously, Yuan Shikai used the suppression of the revolution as an excuse to blackmail the Qing family, and the military expenditure problem was temporarily solved. Now, without the big owner of the Qing Room, the customs surplus seized by foreigners is a lot of income. From the other side, it can also prove who foreigners recognize as the orthodoxy of the Republic of China.
What is Guan Yu? That is, the customs revenue, the silver left after the return of foreign debts, indemnities, and payment of customs expenses, is called customs surplus. At this time, China's customs were actually in the hands of the British. This is the current situation in China. There is no tariff, the greatest source of revenue. It is difficult for a country to maintain, how can it develop?
Yuan Shikai solved the temporary financial problems, and then sent a telegram to Sun and Fang, in a sincere tone: Shikai occupies this big position and worries about state affairs all the time. However, the power of one person is limited, and I also ask Brother Fuguo to help me, and the position of the commander-in-chief of the army is waiting for Shikaixu. This is for Fang Jianxiong, and for Sun, it is replaced: waiting for the position of virtual vice president.
As for the matter of going south, the instability of the north was once again emphasized, saying: such as rushing south. The fear of the army has changed.
By the time the telegram arrived in Chapter 71 of History, Fang Jianxiong had already returned to Wuhu, and telegrams flew in like snowflakes from all over the country, all of which were aimed at the Dutch overseas Chinese merchants and industries. Fang Jianxiong wasn't joking. The people in the Netherlands don't talk much, they don't talk much, Fang Jianxiong also caught more than a hundred numbers within the scope of several provinces in one go, and then "protected" them. Even the Dutch consulate in Hankow sent troops to "protect" it. The reason is simple, the fear that the people will be too angry.
After processing the telegrams from all over the country, he explained the next task. Fang Jianxiong only had time to read Lao Yuan's telegram, glanced at it and threw it into the corner, and continued to arrange the next move. First. A regiment of the Special Operations Brigade was urgently dispatched to Nanjing, and second, the China Merchants Bureau urgently dispatched ships and rented merchant ships from other countries to transport soldiers and war materials to Shanghai for assembly. Third, the various departments of the Navy took the lead and went to Shanghai to assemble.
After a few orders, the various ministries moved. Sun called and mentioned Yuan Shikai's telegram. Fang Jianxiong asked Yuan Shikai's call to be refilmed as it was, and he didn't say anything. Since it has been decided to deal with Beiyang first, I have to make a show to Sun.
Nanjing, after receiving a telegram from Fang Jianxiong, immediately held another meeting to discuss. The conclusion is that Fang is more reliable than Yuan. Especially within the Kuomintang Party, a group of people headed by Song Jiaoren. The other party's senses are excellent. I think that Fang has always been able to do it and can be trusted. It was Yuan Shikai who repeatedly went back on his word, and before the Northern Expedition, Shaanxi and Shaanxi were defeated by Yuan Shikai on the opportunity of the armistice. Not to mention the actions of the revolutionary parties in Beijing and Tianjin, the blood of the people was shed. Of course, the Kuomintang is not good at stubble, the assassination of Yuan failed, the Luanzhou uprising, the Northeast made several moves, and Yantai is still in the hands of the Northern Army. Anyway, the Jiaodong Self-Defense Army did not attack Yantai.
After some consideration, he finally decided to believe Fang Jianxiong, of course, he had to be a little more guarded. After making a decision, Huang Xing immediately went north to Xuzhou. Nanjing began to reorganize the Northern Expedition Sichuan Army, the Northern Expedition, the Guangdong Army, the former Ning Army, and the Suzhou Defenders. It is planned to be reorganized into five infantry divisions with more than 60,000 troops. The reorganization of Nanjing was presided over by Jiang Zuobin, who had relevant experience, and Lan Tianwei was his deputy. This reorganization is not so wealthy, and the various departments are scattered and reorganized, some adjustments have been made in personnel, and a little addition has been made in equipment. The reorganization of Xuzhou is also roughly the same.
For Yuan Shikai's telegram, the callbacks on both sides are unusually consistent, just one meaning. Xiang Cheng went south, and Sun said: Wen Ke will step down from the post of interim president and build the road. Fang said: Talent is insufficient, dare not take on this big responsibility, please be smart. At that time, the sword hero should be unloaded and return to heaven to fulfill filial piety.
Anyway, what the two of them said was very good, and Yuan Shikai didn't take it seriously when he received the telegram. Taking this seriously is no different from being stupid. Well, if you don't rush anyway, I won't be in a hurry to go south. The customs officers escorted Beijing one after another, and because of the revolution, the customs seized a lot of about it, a full 3 million taels. After the delivery of Guan Yu, the ministers of Britain, France, Russia, and Japan issued a joint statement, saying that Yuan Shikai's appointment as president was expected by everyone. Considering that most of the troops stationed in Tianjin and the daily safety of the legation, Yuan Shikai should not go south to take up his post.
Anyway, he stood up naked to support Lao Yuan and oppose Yuan Shikai's southward post. After the envoys of the four countries sent a telegram, the United States and Germany successively telegraphed, saying that they did not take a position on this matter and that it was an internal affair of the Republic of China.
The discord between these two countries is actually difficult to shake the overall situation. Then dozens of generals under Yuan Shikai jointly sent a telegram to oppose Yuan Shikai's inauguration in the south. And threatened: if you insist on going south, you may mutiny.
After their respective appearances, not many people paid attention to the Surabaya case.
Fang Jianxiong, who was in Wuhu, naturally wanted to go home to see his mother, and when he entered the house, Qiu Ju, who was the first to greet him in the past, did not appear, and Dou Qingmei did not appear. This is a bit abnormal, until Fang Dashuai entered the second entrance, and he saw the two young women each wearing a long skirt, standing on the left and right of the old lady.
The eyes of the two women dodged, and Fang Dashuai was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. first kowtowed to the old lady who was full of joy and said goodbye, and after getting up, he didn't pursue the two daughters' failure to greet him, and sat down to talk to the old lady.
Soon Fang Dashuai discovered the abnormality, and the smile on the old lady's face never broke, as if she had picked up a wallet. After leaving Wuhu for more than a month, what happened here?
After some talking, Fang Jianxiong talked about the recent events, and I am afraid it will be difficult to stay at home longer. The old lady Fang Meishi suddenly straightened her face, waved her hand and motioned for the two women and her subordinates to leave. Only then did he say to his son: "Fuguo, no matter how busy you are, you have to take a few days to do things." This time, my mother can't cling to you. ”
Fang Jianxiong couldn't help but be stunned: "Why is this? At the moment of life and death, I dare not leave without permission. ”
Fang Meishi sighed and said, "What a confused child, do you want the two big girls to go out with big bellies?" ”
I'm the next Olympics! Fang Dashuai was a little dumbfounded, what is the situation? Hurry up and ask, the old lady explained before she understood. A few days ago, the two women didn't come before and after, and the old lady was overjoyed when she heard it, and she called a doctor to check her pulse, and they were all there. This can make the old lady very happy, I used to look forward to Qiu Ju being pregnant, but my eyes were dry, and I didn't move. This time, I was shot twice, which was really gratifying. The original meaning was to send a telegram to Fang Jianxiong immediately, and the two sisters persuaded her together, it was all a man who was busy with a big matter, and he was not in a hurry at this time, so he would talk about it later. Catch up with Jianxiong in Nanjing, this matter will wait for him to come back and talk about it in person.
Fang Dashuai really didn't expect it, how could this be? In the past, I worked hard to cultivate the fields, and Qiu Ju was not pregnant. Now it's good, the two are pregnant together. Could it be that when I first came to that meeting, I had a physiological problem, and it took a few years to recover?
This thing has no scientific basis, so I will leave it alone. However, the two married together, Fang Jianxiong was a little embarrassed.
However, Fang Mei's was prepared, and explained with a smile: "I told them all, you are busy with your big things." This one also chooses a good day and carries it into the door together. The relatives of the family can just set up two tables, and they are not just marrying relatives and taking concubines. ”
Fang Dashuai's sense of justice was about to overflow, saying two nonsense words about the equality of men and women, such unfairness. I thought about it and swallowed it back. What can be said to be the equality of men and women to the outside world, and it is not uncomfortable to do this at home?
"Then it's hard for my mother to take care of this, I have too many official duties, and I'll come back one day when I'm ready."
After the decision was made, Fang Jianxiong said goodbye to his mother and came out, the two women were gone, standing outside, Fang Dashuai hesitated for a moment, and chose to go back to his room first. Sure enough, when they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, two maids were waiting outside, and there were two maids inside. The two girls were waiting in the house.
Fang Jianxiong motioned to the maid not to be quiet, slowed down and came in gently, and heard the two women inside muttering: "Sister, the two of us can have one heart, the fox woman next to the master, that's a lot." Don't say anything else, take the Yin family sisters as an example, you don't see the way they look at the master, that's called a ....... ”
When Fang Dashuai heard this, he felt that he had crossed over again, and this time it was a Qing palace drama.
Quickly coughed, and the two women stood up in a bluff, but Dou Qingmei quickly regained her composure. This time, there is no panic in the stomach. Qiu Ju did not change the normal state of the past, and came forward to take off her coat. Dou Qingmei came from a better background, stuck out her tongue, apologized, and stepped forward.
Fang Jianxiong looked at these two women, thinking that having more women may not be happiness. Do you want to stop hooking up in the future? This very strict thought was quickly diluted. The two women, one left and one right, pulled over and sat down, you and I talked about the recent events.
After Fang Jianxiong was appeased, he couldn't stay at home, thinking that another urgent telegram had arrived. What happened in Beijing was delivered to the eyes as soon as possible. Fang Dashuai read the telegram and stood up with a sigh. !!
