Middle Road? Bannishi-kun, what exactly do you want to do? Lin Quanzhu was stunned for a moment, and sighed softly: "I'm afraid there is no chance there, our provisional affairs in Harbin have already discussed with the supreme ruler of the 'All-Russian Provisional Government' Horvat (Director of the Eastern Railway Administration and Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Railway Escort Army), and the other party will not let go...... We have no choice, we can't send the Kwantung Army to forcibly occupy the Middle East Road, right? Tokyo would never agree to do so. ”

His expression was a little helpless when he spoke, after all, the Middle East Road was built on the land of China, and it had nothing to do with Japan, except for sending troops to occupy it, there seemed to be no way to seize it.

But after saying this, he saw Sakanishi Rihachiro's expression change a few times, so he asked a little strangely: "Sakanishi-kun, have you thought of any clever ideas?" Let's hear it! ”

Rihachiro Sakanishi was silent for a long time, as if something made him hesitate for a while, and finally lowered his voice and asked, "Your Excellency, the lower official wants to ask you about something that you shouldn't ask...... Has Tokyo sent a special envoy to Fuzhou for special negotiations with Soviet Russia? ”

Lin Quanzhu also hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "There is such a thing, I can sue you, but I can't spread it anymore!" He paused for a moment, and then continued: "On behalf of the Japanese government, there are two old gentlemen, Inu Yangyi and Toushanman, who are in their personal names. And the representative of the Soviet side of Russia was their deputy foreign minister, named Adolf. Abramovich. The more you fly. However, the current negotiations did not go well, and the Russians were willing to cede only Sakhalin (Sakhalin Island). ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Sakanishi Rihachiro's mouth: "That's not bad. It is more than 70,000 square kilometers, and I heard that oil has been found on the island, which is exactly what the Imperial Navy urgently needs. ”

Lin Quanzhu smiled bitterly: "But the earl of the temple has a very big appetite, and he also wants the three regions of Zabaikal, Amur, and Primorsky Oblast, which add up to almost 1.2 million square kilometers, and I don't think the Russians are so easy to talk to." After saying this, he asked rhetorically: "Banxi-kun." What does this have to do with our takeover of the Middle Road? Do you think you can ask Soviet Russia to cede the Middle East Road to us? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult......"

As for the difficulty, Lin Quansuke didn't say it, and Rihachiro Sakanishi didn't seem to care. He just waved his hand. He smiled and said: "Xiaguan's method is to figure out that the government of Guò China wants to get the Middle East Railway, and in the past two days, the officials and the Beiyang government's chief financial officer and chief of transportation Liang Shiyi have met several times, and the other party proposed a way to mortgage the China Eastern Railway in exchange for a loan from Japan. But before that. We also need to come forward to support them in expelling the remnants of Tsarist Russia entrenched in the Middle East.

Since we are now negotiating with the Red Russian side, we must be able to reach some agreement in the end...... At that time, it is inevitable that we will still have to break with Belarus and bear the pressure of Britain and the United States, so why don't we be more villains and get the Middle East Road into our hands? What about turning Manchuria into the sphere of influence of the Great Japanese Empire? ”

Lin Quanzhu hesitated for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Is the Beiyang government poor and crazy?" How dare you do such a thing? Aren't they afraid of Anglo-American, American, and French pressure? ”

Rihachiro Sakanishi smiled mysteriously, took out a thick envelope from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Quansuke with both hands: "This is the southbound battle plan drawn up by the Army Staff Headquarters of the Beiyang Government!" Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng are ready to use the newly trained participating army as the main force to enter Hunan and force Sun Yat-sen to implement local autonomy in Guangdong! So they urgently need a large amount of military spending......"

Lin Quanzhu opened the envelope. took out the Wen Jiàn inside and looked at it, but the expression on his face became complicated: "Invest more than 100,000 troops in six divisions and one mixed brigade at once, this is probably the last fight of Beiyang, right?" In case the defeat of ......"

Rihachiro Sakanishi laughed: "It's better to defeat!" I am afraid that China will no longer be a unified country! That would be the best ending for the Empire! ”

Lin Quanzhu nodded, and said, "Tell the news to Guangzhou and Fuzhou, and at the same time tell them." The Empire can secretly sell them a batch of arms! ”

Sakanishi straightened up, let out a sigh, and was about to get up to leave, when he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. Then the sliding door of the chamber was opened. A legation secretary who was out of breath rushed to his feet, gasping for breath as he reported in a loud voice: "Your Excellency. Hunan, the Hunan Provincial Council has changed! ”

……

Today is the first day that the new Senate of Hunan Province has begun to perform its duties. But in the hall of the Hunan Provincial Senate, there was a chaotic scene at this time. Speaker Xiong Xiling knocked the table in front of him, but did not let this chaotic situation become quieter. The two groups of MPs at the bottom have already scuffled together, but it is not the GCD MPs and the Progressive MPs who are fighting, but the MPs of the Progressive Party who have somehow started infighting!

The 107 Progressive Party members in the venue were divided into two factions at this time, "pro-Zhang" and "pro-Wu"! Among them, there are about 70 people in the pro-Zhang faction and more than 30 people in the pro-Wu faction. The so-called pro-Wu faction of Progressive Party MPs who provoked today's clash were mostly elected from the Hengyang Third Division Defense District or the Zhì District of the Protector Military Government in southern Hunan.

At the beginning of the meeting, they suddenly put forward a proposal to elect Wu Peifu, commander of the Third Division of the Army, as the governor of Hunan, and Cheng Qian, the protector of the army, as the governor of Hunan! And it was immediately seconded by all 51 GCD members and more than 20 non-partisan members in the venue, which is more than half of them! Although the constitution of Hunan Province has not yet been formulated, it is difficult to say whether the provincial assembly has the power to elect the Overseer. However, once such a resolution is passed, it will mean a great split in the forces of Hunan and Beiyang!

Of course, the remaining 70 or so Progressive Party MPs in the meeting room could not agree, but there were not as many people as there were, so they had no choice but to move their mouths. And the GCD parliamentarians, as well as the small party and non-party parliamentarians, did not go to help, but slapped the table and slapped the bench next to them. There was a burst of cynicism at Xiong Xiling, the speaker of the Progressive Party.

"Xiong Fenghuang (referring to Xiong Xiling), you also served as the general manager of state affairs, why bother to be a dog leg for Zhang Jingyao now? If you do this, even your colleagues in the Progressive Party will look down on you, and what face will you have to stay on the stage? Hurry down! ”

"You are also from Hunan! How did the surname Zhang oppress us Hunan people in the past two years? You don't know anything? His Seventh Division couldn't defeat the Revolutionary Party, so he knew that he was rampant and domineering in Changsha and Yueyang, and his taxes were several times more than when Granny Tan was in charge of Xiang! If our council elects such a person to be the overseer of Hunan. Isn't that a slap in the face? ”

"Damn, Zhang Jingyao is Beiyang, isn't Wu Peifu Beiyang? Let Beiyang be in charge of the same. Why can't you choose a better one? Now Wang Zhanyuan in Hubei, Li Chun in Jiangsu, Lu Yongxiang in Shanghai, and Yang Shande in Zhejiang, which one doesn't love the people a little more than him Zhang Jingyao? Why do we Hunan people have to let the worst Beiyang warlords bully? ”

Most of the Progressive MPs looked embarrassed by these "foreign MPs". I don't know how to be good. is no longer besieging those "anti-water" progressive party legislators, but gathering together in twos and threes to talk about something, it is estimated that they are all speculating whether this Wu Peifu is behind the entire Beiyang direct line? Looking at this posture, it doesn't look like he is fighting against the Anhui system alone, right? If that's the case, why do you bother to participate in the struggle between the two systems of Beiyang and Anhui? Besides, that Wu Xiucai is indeed more reasonable than Zhang Jingyao, and he is also more capable of fighting! Who doesn't know that this time Beiyang can take down half of Hunan, it is all his credit? As for the reward for meritorious deeds, the overseer and the governor should also be given to him.

In the final analysis, this world is still the biggest gun!

After thinking clearly about these issues, a few "pro-Zhang" Progressive Party legislators took the lead in reversing the line. A person shouted loudly: "Choose Wu, choose Wu." Anyway, they are all from Beiyang, and they are not from Sun Dacang, so why should we fight here for these northerners? ”

This was followed by more Progressive MPs who changed from pro-Chang to pro-Wu. In fact, these pro-Zhang factions did not get a penny of benefits from Zhang Jingyao, and they only worked for Zhang Jingyao after they didn't understand it for a while.

Xiong Xiling stood on it sweating profusely, looking at this qiē helplessly. He also knew that Zhang Jingyao was not a thing. But the problem is that it was Duan Qirui's arrangement to let Zhang Jingyao be the overseer of Hunan! And Feng Guozhang and Cao Kun don't seem to have raised any objections? Why did you suddenly get into trouble in the Hunan Provincial Council? And it's also a joint effort with GCD councilors...... How did you fall into such a pool of muddy water? If Wu Peifu is elected as the overseer today, then Zhang Jingyao won't eat himself alive? He doesn't care what kind of state manager you have been! If this matter can be resolved safely, then it will really be Amitabha! After this hurdle, I will no longer ask about politics, and go to business honestly! At this time, Xiong Xiling could only send someone to report to Zhang Jingyao, and at the same time slowly started the procedure of "supervising the army and the election of the governor" - Zhang Jingyao was a tiger who ate people and did not spit out bones. Wu Peifu is also not a vegetarian, he is an unarmed politician, but he doesn't dare to offend at both ends.

Xiong Xiling now knows that as long as there are private soldiers and party troops in this "China" country for one day, everything in the "people" constitutionalism is empty talk!

At this time, there was a sudden disturbance at the gate of the Senate Hall, and I saw a group of Beiyang soldiers carrying box guns and Zhang Jingyao, a Hunan overseer in military uniform, walking in. The hall that was still noisy just now fell silent, and the parliamentarians, both pro-Zhang and pro-Wu, were all stunned by the scene in front of them. Why did this Zhang Dadu bring the **** team here, what is this for?

Xiong Xiling also gasped, thinking that Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui were just using the "Civic Corps" to surround the Senate of the Congress, and they didn't dare to send the army directly! This Zhang Jingyao is really too nonsense, right? He hurriedly trotted down the Lord's table, rushed to Zhang Jingyao, who was pale, and asked in a low voice with frowning eyebrows: "Lord!" What are you doing? This is the council, how can you bring troops in? ”

Although Zhang Jingyao is a barbarian warlord, he is still relatively polite to Xiong Xiling, he barely squeezed out a little smile, and said to Xiong Xiling: "Mr. Phoenix, brother has no choice, if you don't bring troops, brother's Hunan overseer and governor will let Wu Xiucai take it away!" ”

Xiong Xiling stomped his feet, stretched out his finger to point at Zhang Jingyao, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you, you did this, does Duan Zhiquan know?" Is there any order from him? ”

Zhang Jingyao waved his hand impatiently. Ignoring Xiong Xiling, he went straight to the height of the podium, coldly swept the more than 200 overwhelmed parliamentarians below, and said calmly: "Gentlemen, you are all elected by our Hunan gentry and people!" Shouldering the hopes of more than 20 million Hunan people, how can they come like this? What do the people of Hunan want? It's not a stable and prosperous Hunan! Hunan has been plagued by military disasters since the Republic of China, and now it finally has a chance to settle down. How can you live up to the expectations of your fellow villagers in Hunan and create an incident here in a vain attempt to provoke a conflict between me and General Wu Ziyu! ”

Said here. There was already a bit of murder in his words: "Don't think that I, Zhang Jingyao, haven't read for a few years, I'm just a coarse who doesn't know anything!" I don't know that there are rebels among you! Today's events are all a conspiracy to disrupt the party, and the purpose is to make chaos and disaster in Hunan Province! But I can tell you very responsibly here. Such a conspiracy will not succeed! Because I Zhang Jingyao doesn't allow it! I brought troops here today to arrest the disrupted party! As for who is the chaotic party and who is not the chaotic party? Okay, without further nonsense, I declare that the vote just now will not be counted, and now I will re-vote for the Hunan Overseer and the Governor! You vote, Lao Tzu catches the party, and there is no delay on both sides! ”

In fact, Zhang Jingyao also knew that he was playing with fire by doing this, but he really had no other way. Because of the suddenness of the incident, he never thought that the MPs of the Progressive Party would actually turn against him. I didn't expect Wu Peifu to come out and rob him of this Hunan overseer. So there is no preparation, and it is definitely too late to hire a civic group now. Once the news of the Hunan Provincial Council election is announced, he may really be lost as an overseer In his opinion, Wu Peifu is a person from Beiyang like himself, and he made great contributions a while ago. Now that he has the support of the Hunan Provincial Councilors, there is still a reason why this overseer cannot be a prisoner?

After Zhang Jingyao's words were finished, the venue suddenly became chaotic again, and this time it was the GCD parliamentarians who attacked. The leader of these people was He Shuheng, the secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee of the Central G, and Zhang Jingyao's words fell, and he took the lead in shouting: "Down with Zhang Jingyao." The slogan of "supporting Wu Peifu" is coming!

And when Zhang Jingyao heard this slogan, his face was about to turn black! What he said just now was just intimidation, and he didn't really plan to arrest the councillors who opposed him in the parliamentary venue, and he also knew that once this kind of thing was done, his overseers would probably come to an end, even if Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing in the south didn't make a fuss, the few Beiyang bigwigs in Beijing who were still pretending to be the main faction of the people would not be able to spare him!

But the words have already been spoken, and people openly jump out and shout slogans against themselves, which is a slap in the face! I'm slapping myself in the face! Why don't you give a little bit of a look, and then these parliamentarians won't all come to oppose themselves? It seems that this overseer will not be able to do it after all, but he is not happy, and he can't let these rebels get better!

It was under the domination of this mentality that Zhang Jingyao made a big move, and those Beiyang soldiers of his guard swarmed up and arrested all the fifty-one GCD councilors in the venue!

Under Zhang Jingyao's obscenity, the remaining 158 Hunan Provincial Councillors in the meeting had to choose to give in and unanimously vote to elect Zhang Jingyao as the overseer and governor of Hunan. But everyone knows that things are just getting started! Only two hours after Zhang Jingyao ordered the arrest of GCD councilors, some people in Changsha began to distribute leaflets that "supported Wu and begged for Zhang", and the major newspapers in Changsha also got the news of the "parliamentary incident" as soon as possible (they had reporters in the parliamentary venue), and as soon as possible, the ins and outs of the incident were published on the public public!

By the afternoon of the same day, all the universities and schools in Changsha had gone on strike, the red trade unions had also ordered a general strike, and some businessmen had also begun to strike. Angry Changsha citizens "spontaneously" took to the streets to protest Zhang Jingyao's atrocities and demand the immediate release of all arrested legislators. However, such demonstrations and protests did not last long, and they were suppressed by the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Division of the Beiyang Army, who were urgently mobilized!

While there was chaos in Changsha City, all the 158 members of the Hunan Provincial Senate, including Xiong Xiling, who had not been arrested, boarded the northbound train to petition the Beiyang government to expel Zhang.

Public opinion and powerful factions in the north and south of China published articles or telegraphs strongly condemning Zhang Jingyao's atrocities the day after the incident. In particular, the Kuomintang and the GCD organized huge demonstrations and protests in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other places, and the person who ordered Sun Da also issued a "telegram full of gunpowder"!

For a time, the sky of China was once again covered with the clouds of civil war!

At that time, the "expulsion incident" was called the "May Upheaval" by Chinese and foreign newspapers, and was considered to be a copy of the "January Upheaval" in Russia, and was also called the beginning of the "Revolution of the Chinese Revolution" by later historians!

According to those historical experts: "It was the bayonets and bullets of the Beiyang warlords that told the Kuomintang and GCD people of the [China] country, and only by completely overthrowing the reactionary rule of the Beiyang warlords could it be possible to establish a real "people" constitutional government in the "China" country, and the "China" country could be saved!" ”
