"The youth army is a soldier belonging to all the people, and our guns will never be aimed at the defenseless people, and we will always aim our guns at all enemies who endanger national security and infringe on the interests of the people, whether they are reactionary shili at home or the great powers of the West, we will hold the weapons in our hands and fight for the people. As we all know, just yesterday, in Beijing, Yuan Shikai, the president of the Beiyang government, betrayed the country and the people, and he and the Beiyang clique led by him tried in vain to deprive all our people of their freedom and pull China back to the old era of feudal imperialism. Then such a central government is no longer the central government of all our people, and such a great president is no longer a person who can lead this country and this nation to prosperity and strength, he has become the greatest enemy of the whole nation, the whole country, and all the citizens. From now on, the Youth Army will become an armed force for the realization of the political goal of the National Socialist Party to revitalize China, and we will fight for the political goal of the Party, and of course if one day we find out that the National Socialist Party has also betrayed this political goal, then we will not hesitate to take up arms and fight against the National Socialist Party. Think about it, our great Chinese weishenme will be bullied by the Western powers? Is it really as simple as the insatiable greed of the Western powers? Is it really as simple as coveting our wealth? The British are the richest on this shijie, and the great powers weishenme not to carve them up? Just because the British are united, because the British are strong! ”

Wang Zhenyu paused and continued: "Weishenme We Chinese are not united, we are not strong? It is because our system is unreasonable, and people themselves are selfish, while traditional Confucianism and feudal politics blindly emphasize the so-called sages, and attribute all problems to the moral character of officials, which is fart! What they want to defend is the unrestricted power that belongs to the government and officials. Because they don't need the approval of the people, because they have a monopoly on the power to be officials. What our youth army has to do now is to use the weapons in our hands to wrest back the power that originally belonged to the whole people from the hands of these shameless, despicable, and extremely selfish Beiyang bureaucrats and return them to the people. At the same time, we will support the National Socialist Party in completing the system building and turning this unrestricted power into a limited power that is subject to the supervision of the people and guarantees each other. Only when power is returned to the people, the country is the country of the people, the government is the government of the people, the people will be recognized, will be united, and the country with centripetal force will be strong. Otherwise, the state and the government, like the Beiyang government, will be reduced to a tool for a handful of interest groups to deceive and oppress the entire people, and patriotism will become the biggest fig leaf for these political hooligans. You say do we want such a country, you tell me, do we want such a government? ”

The officers all waved their clenched fists and said, "Don't, don't, don't ......"

Wang Zhenyu nodded and said, "Okay, then should our youth army stand up when this society is in turmoil?" For the sake of the interests of the country, the nation, and all the people, and the Beiyang reactionary struggle led by Yuan Shikai, will we build a new China again? ”

Yang Wangui took the lead, and the officers shouted: "Destroy Beiyang, eliminate Beiyang, fight to the end, fight to the end." ”

Wang Zhenyu raised his right fist into the microphone and shouted the most important battle cry of the Youth Army after that: "Long live the Youth Army!" ”

The officers responded excitedly: "Long live the marshal, long live the young army!" ”.

Late at night on December 20, trains departed from Anjiang Railway Station, and ships departed from Yuanjiang Grand Wharf. More than 4,000 officers of the Young Army, who were successfully instigated by Wang Zhenyu to save the country and build a new China, began to march to their respective stations. And in the briefcase uniformly distributed by the regimental-level officers, the operational jihua book drawn up by the general staff was lying there quietly, and when the briefcase was opened and the order was taken out, an earth-shattering war was about to begin.

Since Wang Zhenyu had already decided to participate in the Protectorate War, Cai Ye made major adjustments to Xiangshang, the combat side of the entire Yunnan Protector Army. Liu Xianshi's main force of the Guizhou army, Wang Wenhua, and Yuan Zuming's troops did not enter Xiangxi to fight with Ma Jizeng as in history, but rushed directly to Chongqing with 15,000 men and horses. Cai Ng's Yunnan Army set up three armies, Cai Ng, Tang Jiyao, and Li Liejun served as army commanders, of which Cai Ng, Li Liejun's troops totaled more than 18,000 people and went straight to Sichuan.

Before Wang Zhenyu, the fierce tiger, was powerful, Cai Ye claimed to have 100,000 people with 33,000 men and horses, and the momentum of going straight to Sichuan was very scary. Yuan Shikai said to the legation headed by the British minister Zhu Erdian: "Yunnan is short of troops and materials, and the government army will go to it, but it will be pacified in ten months." ”

On the other hand, he was responsible for Chen Eun, the overseer of Sichuan, to integrate the armies in Sichuan, and to exterminate Cai's rebellious army.

At the same time, Yuan Shikai did not forget to issue a decree and seal a hundred officials.

On December 12, 1915, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, changed the name of the country to "Chinese Empire", abolished the era name of the Republic of China, and began to be the first year of "Hongxian" in 1916.

On December 15, 1915, he decreed: (Official Gazette No. 1296) Li Yuanhong canonized Prince Wuyi;

On December 18, 1915, he decreed: (Official Gazette No. 1299) No one who is an old couple or a deceased person should be called a minister.

(The old couple is Li Yuanhong, Yixuan, Zaifeng, Shixu, Natong, Xiliang, Zhou Fu);

(Qi Shuo is Wang Minyun and Ma Xiangbo);

(The deceased were Xu Shichang, Zhao Erxun, Li Jingxi, Zhang Jian);

As for Wang Zhenyu, who was far away in Xiangxi, Lao Yuan did not forget to seal the Xianggui Parade to make Wang Zhenyu a first-class marquis, and his uncle Wang Longzhong was on the way back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he was also crowned a first-class prince by Lao Yuan.

"Dashuai, congratulations to Dashuai, congratulations to Dashuai, Lao Yuan has made you a first-class marquis, and your uncle is a first-class duke" Zhang Xueji, who was about to become the deputy commander of the Xianggui Protector Army, ran into the staff headquarters with a telegram from Beijing to make a joke about Wang Zhenyu.

On the issue of the establishment of the National Protector Army, Zhao Hengti once reached an agreement on behalf of Wang Zhenyu and Cai Yi, and finally determined a plan, that is, Cai Yi's department is called the National Defense Army, and Wang Zhenyu's department will continue to use the name of the Youth Army. A liaison officer was set up between the two armies, and Zhao Hengti was the liaison officer of the Youth Army. At the same time, the post of generalissimo Yuan was set up on the two armies, and Sun Yat-sen was elected as the marshal, Cen Chunxuan as the deputy marshal, Liang Qichao as the secretary general, and Gu Pinzhen as the liaison officer of the Dian army.

In fact, both Cai Ye and Wang Zhenyu understand in their hearts that everyone is just cooperating to fight Lao Yuan, and no one wants to command anyone, as for Sun Yat-sen, the main marshal, and Cen Chunxuan, the deputy marshal, one is in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and the other is at home without leaving home. This is also a great wonder of the Republic of China.
