Chapter 46: The Fall of the Beiyang Government

The book review area is alive, Satan is very happy, if you have any opinions, you can go to the book review area to put forward, thank you!

Just after Zhang Zuolin rebelled against the Beiyang Army, Li Bingying was quietly rushing back to Beijing with two-thirds of the Beiyang soldiers defending in Shanxi, because this was Xu Shichang's order, and it was also Qin Yu's order, and Wang Qiang and Chen Kai on the other side also received Qin Yu's order to cooperate with Li Bingying's work. Xu Shichang couldn't stand being trapped in Beijing all day, and now he wanted his army to come to Beijing to threaten Yuan Shikai to leave the capital for him, he didn't expect that Zhang Zuolin would go out of Beiyang independently and mix by himself, and now he couldn't stay in Beijing alone.

Li Bingying and his army quickly rushed to the outside of Beijing, but the Beiyang garrison outside Beijing stopped them and did not allow them to enter the city, so Li Bingying had to station his army 500 meters away from the rear of the Beijing garrison. As soon as Li Bingying arrived in the capital, he secretly found Wang Qiang and Chen Kai, and they agreed together to wait for Qin Yu's order to come before acting, and they would act cautiously during this time.

After Li Bingying's army arrived on the outskirts of Beijing, Yuan Shikai knew that he scolded Xu Shichang for being a traitor, an unkind and unrighteous person, etc., and Yang Du and Yuan Keding were all sad, and the Beiyang Army was torn apart, and the destruction of Beiyang was not far away.

Duan Qirui, who had just returned to Beijing, was urgently summoned by Yuan Shikai to discuss countermeasures, and everyone in the Beiyang high-level had to find a way out for a while, otherwise there would be only a dead end, Yuan Keding had already sent most of the Yuan family out, leaving only a well-known Yuan family.

In the conference hall, Yuan Shikai, Yang Du, Yuan Keding, Duan Qirui, Wang Qiang, Chen Kai and others were discussing how to deal with Xu Shichang and how to deal with the Beiyang Army in the future.

Yuan Shikai said angrily: "Everyone thinks that their shoulders are stiff, Zhang Zuolin is like this, Xu Shichang is also like this, they are all against the sky, and they don't want to think about who gave them to their current position in the first place, how can this be reasonable." ”

Yang Du comforted: "Don't be angry Yuan Gong, let's think about what to do now, Xu Shichang's army has arrived on the outskirts of the city, his army is similar to the current Beijing garrison, or even more than some, he is not even prepared for Shanxi in order for himself to be able to get out of Beijing, it seems that he was also frightened by Zhang Zuolin's matter." ”

Duan Qirui: "The current Beiyang can't stand the toss, as long as the army from East China comes, I think we will have to run away like Sun Wen in the south, but we don't know where we are going now, and the Northeast will definitely not be able to go." ”

Yuan Keding said at this time: "It's better for us to go to Gansu, Ma Jiajun still has to give us a few thin noodles, if you can't, let's go to the other side of Rehe, it's better than waiting here to die." ”

Yang Du: "Ma Jiajun won't let us go, that's Ma Jiajun's world, he won't let people take away his power, even if you get there, it's not the same to see people's faces, as for Rehe, it's close to Beijing, and East China will attack there sooner or later." ”

Yuan Shikai: "Anyway, let's solve Xu Shichang's matter first, if we can get his military power, we will have the strength to protect ourselves even if we retreat, but I'm afraid this is difficult." ”

Chen Kai: "President, Li Bingying and I were classmates and friends when we were in Germany, maybe I can persuade him, but my subordinates dare not say whether it is successful or not, and Wang Qiang is in the same class as him, so I am afraid that the chances are greater." ”

When Yuan Shikai and the others heard this, they all looked at Chen Kai and Wang Qiang with glowing eyes, making the goosebumps on both of their bodies rise a lot, and they were uncomfortable.

Yuan Shikai said happily: "What you said is true? If you succeed, I will remember you as a duke, and when you settle down in the future, you will be rewarded for your merits. ”

Chen Kai and Wang Qiang pretended to be happy: "Of course this is true, you just wait, president, soon we can take Li Bingying to visit the president." ”

Yuan Shikai looked at the two of them with a very satisfied expression, it seems that his way of employing people is still there, if there are a few more such talents, their Beiyang Army will not have today's passive situation, and then looked at the two of them with satisfaction and said: "You guys go quickly, this matter is very important, it is related to our net worth and life, there must be no mistake." ”

Chen Kai and Wang Qiang agreed: "Yes, I promise to complete the task." With that, he turned and walked out of the chamber.

Yang Du cautiously said to Yuan Shikai at this time: "Can Yuan Gong release the five hundred East China soldiers, so that we can win the goodwill of East China, we don't have to fall into greater passivity, and we can also release our goodwill to East China, which is very important to us." ”

Yuan Shikai thought for a while: "This is okay, but where do you get them after you release them, you can't just put them back, right?" ”

"Hasn't East China always cared about those cultural relics, so we will continue to put them there to protect the cultural relics, don't give them guns or anything, and the East China Army without guns is nothing."

Yuan Shikai also felt good, and he said to Duan Qirui: "Zhiquan, what do you think?" ”

Duan Qirui said: "I always feel that something is wrong, but this is not bad, but what should we do after we solve Xu Shichang's problem, we can't stay in Beijing, right?" ”

"Wait for Xu Shichang's matter to be resolved, you go and take over his military power, as for going there, I really don't know this, if I didn't force Yuting away at that time, it would be good, after all, in the northeast, there is still a chance to make a comeback, and now I can only go to Rehe or even further."

Yang Du comforted: "Don't be sad Yuan Gong, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no material to burn, the most urgent thing now is how to seize the last bit of military power, only with a strong force can you strive for more benefits." ”

Yuan Shikai was silent, and Duan Qirui was very moved, he lost 200,000 troops Yuan Shikai also let him grasp the few military powers, it was really unexpected by him, he choked up and said: "President, I failed in Xuzhou, I am ashamed of you, you can still trust me so much, I will definitely not be like Zhang Zuolin and Xu Shichang in the future, I am your most loyal subordinate." ”

Yuan Shikai said lightly: "Zhiquan, now you are one of the few people I can trust, and there is basically no one who has the ability to lead these armies except you, so this burden will be handed over to you, do it well." ”

The soldiers of the Beiyang Army are now beginning to waver, they don't know if they are the opponent of East China with their strength now, but the destruction of the more than 500,000 Beiyang Army can reflect the courage of the East China Army, so many of them want to escape and not join the army.

Chen Kai and Wang Qiang soon took Li Bingying secretly to meet Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai was very happy to see that Chen Kai and the two had successfully persuaded Li Bingying, and specially praised Chen Kai and the two, and then discussed countermeasures with Li Bingying.

Li Bingying said in horror: "President, I don't know why Premier Xu recalled the lowly post and those soldiers back to the capital, the humble post is just acting on orders, if it wasn't for my old classmates telling the humble, the humbleness would have been kept in the dark by Premier Xu, and I would like to ask the president for forgiveness." ”

"Since you don't know, I don't blame you, but if you want to play a play with me, don't disturb Xu Shichang when you go back, and when he starts, we'll give him a meeting to see how he ends up then."

"Didn't the president kill him?"

"No, it's useful to keep him."

"Thank you for the mercy of the president's subordinates, after all, Premier Xu is still kind to his humble position, and I am here to thank you for Premier Xu." Saying that, Li Bingying bowed deeply to Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai and Li Bingying chatted about the next details, and then let Li Bingying and the three of them go back, and now Yuan Shikai can finally sleep with peace of mind.

Xu Shichang did not act for a few days, and on the fifth day, he asked to return to the front line to defend Shanxi, but Yuan Shikai did not allow it, and one day Xu Shichang asked for a few days off on the grounds that his wife was sick and wanted to be taken care of, and Yuan Shikai allowed him to ask for leave.

After taking leave, Xu Shichang directly found Li Bingying and asked him to bring the army into the city, Li Bingying delayed for two days on the grounds that he was not ready, and was finally ordered by Xu Shichang to send troops. That night, Li Bingying quietly approached Beijing with 30,000 Beiyang troops, although it was very secretive, it was still discovered by Wang Qiang, and it was easy to enter the city under Wang Qiang's intention.

After entering the city, Li Bingying led people to directly surround the presidential palace, and Xu Shichang also began to appear next to Li Bingying, just as they were surrounded, the garrison that had been prepared nearby also began to surround Xu Shichang and them, at this time Xu Shichang also saw the problem, why was there no movement in the city just now, it turned out that people had been waiting for him for a long time, Xu Shichang looked at Li Bingying and the others with resentful eyes, he knew that he must have been betrayed, but he didn't know who it was.

Just when the great civil fighting was staged in the city of Beijing, one after another white clouds bloomed in the dark night over the suburbs of Beijing, and the roar of the huge engine attracted the attention of nearby residents, because it was night, those residents did not find these planes and airships, but the stars in the sky made them feel that this was not thunder, so they had to think that it was a supernatural event, and it had been rumored in the local area for a long time.

Thousands of white clouds slowly descended, some stopped on the ground, some hung on trees, and soon those white clouds were gone, leaving only more than 3,000 Huaxia Defense Army to assemble, and the assembled Huaxia Army began to set off towards the city of Beijing.

The two Beiyang armies that were facing each other also heard a thunderous roar, but they only thought it was thunder, and only Chen Kai and the others knew that it was their own people who had acted, so they had to speed up their actions.

Yuan Shikai stood at the door and said to Xu Shichang: "Surrender, you are not my opponent, Bingying, don't do it yet." ”

"Yes, President, someone came to take down Premier Xu, and Premier Xu committed a crime of rebellion, and he is guilty."

Several officers loyal to Li Bingying personally took down Xu Shichang, Xu Shichang spat at Li Bingying's face, and scolded: "You traitor, you dare to betray me, I used to be so good to you in the past, I really blinded my dog's eyes, Li Bingying, you are ungrateful and you can't die well......" He was pressed down before he finished speaking.

Li Bingying wiped the phlegm on his face and said to Yuan Shikai: "Should the president call these soldiers down, it's okay now." ”

Yuan Shikai ordered the disbandment of the soldiers stationed in Beijing, and then said to Li Bingying: "You can go back if you have nothing to do." ”

"I still have something to say, President, can I go inside and talk about it?" As he spoke, he glanced at the soldiers who had been left behind.

"Come in and say."

Li Bingying said to the soldiers: "You wait for me here, don't run around." ”

At this moment, there was a roar in the sky above Beijing City, and then one after another white clouds floated down, Yuan Shikai was very shocked, looked at those white clouds and asked, "What is this?" ”

Li Bingying also pretended to be surprised and said, "I don't know. ”

However, Yuan Shikai soon called someone to find out what this was, and he took Li Bingying into the presidential palace.

Yuan Shikai asked Li Bingying what else was going on, Li Bingying didn't speak, just took out a gun and pointed it at Yuan Shikai and said, "The Beiyang Army will become history tonight, do you know my identity?" ”

Yuan Shikai looked at Li Bingying in horror and said, "What are you going to do?" Who are you? ”

Li Bingying whistled outside, and a group of soldiers entered the presidential palace with guns, all pointing at Yuan Shikai, Li Bingying said: "You go and control the rest of the Yuan family, and you can't let anyone go." Without saying a word, a group of soldiers rushed to various places, and every now and then a few gunshots rang out.

Li Bingying walked up to Yuan Shikai and said, "Who am I?" I am the person sent here by Young Master Qin Yu a few years ago, and today I can finally go back openly. ”

Yuan Shikai looked at Li Bingying in horror and said, "Impossible, impossible, how could he arrange someone to come to me so early?" ”

Li Bingying looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, the young master arranged this qiē before he returned to China, even the revolutionary army has our people, do you think it is really your world, don't say it, you will send a telegram to surrender tomorrow." ”

A few hours later, Wang Qiang and Chen Kai came in and reported to Li Bingying: "Those soldiers who were accused by us did not resist, only a small part of them resisted, and the rest were killed by the people sent by the young master and our people. ”

Li Bingying nodded, but Yuan Shikai was even more shocked at this time, even Wang Qiang and Chen Kai were Qin Yu's people, he really couldn't believe his eyes, and then a bunch of Chinese soldiers walked in and said to Li Bingying: "Report sir, the task has been completed." ”

Soon Li Bingying found the telegram recording the plot to assassinate Qin Yu in Yuan Shikai's study, which was left by Yuan Shikai in order to prevent Sun Wen, when Li Bingying looked at this telegram he was very angry, but he quickly calmed down again.

On July 5, 1912, Yuan Shikai was forced by Li Bingying and others to telegraph: Since the establishment of the Beiyang government, there is no help in the matter of domestic peace, regardless of the national righteousness, the army invaded East China and caused the destruction of hundreds of thousands of Beiyang soldiers, and because of the contemptible mistakes of the Northeast to split and become independent, I announce the immediate dissolution of the Beiyang government in the name of the president of the Beiyang government, in order to show the legitimacy and uniqueness of the Huaxia government, and the former Beiyang government personnel are at the disposal of the Huaxia government.

So far, the once glorious Beiyang Army has completely become history, and now it is the stage of the Chinese government.
