Li Yuanhong was reluctantly elected as the governor, and he felt uneasy in his heart.However, the enthusiasm of other revolutionaries remained undiminished. They unfurled the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag and established the Central Plains Provincial Revolutionary Military Government in the Central Plains Provincial Consultative Bureau Building in Jiangxia Yuemachang.The military government soon announced that it would change the name of the country to the Hualan Republic. At the same time, it announced that Li Yuanhong, the commander of the Central Plains New Army Association, would be the governor of the military government.

At the same time, the Central Plains Provincial Military Government issued a telegram report to the whole country, announcing the success of the Jiangxia Uprising and calling on the people of all provinces to respond to the uprising.Within a day, the land of Hualan was shaken by wind and thunder. In the following months, [-] provinces across the country declared their independence successively, separated from the rule of the post-Jin royal family and established a revolutionary regime in response to the Jiangxia Uprising of the Revolution of [-].

The Jiangxia Uprising on October 1911, 10 shocked the Houjin government, and the court responded quickly.Two days later, the Houjin government announced the removal of Ruicheng from his post and ordered him to act as the governor of Liangyuan temporarily.The purpose of the Houjin court was to urge Ruicheng to quickly gather the Houjin army from nearby places to wipe out the revolutionary army of Hanxia as soon as possible.Unexpectedly, Ruicheng was so timid that he couldn't help being frightened. Hearing that the court made him commit crimes and meritorious deeds, he ran directly to Guanghai City. After a few days, he felt unsafe and fled to Wa Kingdom again.

Ruicheng fled without permission, and the front line of the Central Plains Province even lost the chief officer for a while, and the imperial army lost command and dispatch, so they could only garrison in place and wait for orders.After the Jin army did not move, it gave the Huguang Revolutionary Party a respite. Seizing this rare opportunity, the Revolutionary Party quickly established a militia and began to recruit a large number of soldiers to defend the three towns.The common people enthusiastically signed up to join the army, and the size of the militia quickly reached 4, and Hanxia's defense was gradually strengthened.

Seeing the growing strength of the revolutionary party in Huguang, Prince Regent Zaifeng became anxious. He knew that if this continued, the Houjin Empire would collapse sooner or later.The imperial court immediately issued an edict to stop Yongping Qiucao, and at the same time ordered Yin Chang, Minister of the Army, to command the new army from the northern regions to rush to the Central Plains Province quickly.The other order was for the navy. The later Jin court sent a telegram to the admiral Sa Zhenbing to lead the navy and the Longjiang Navy to the Hanxia River to assist Yinchang in his offensive against Hanxia.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yin Chang felt very uncomfortable.This military official of the Qing government who had been a classmate with William II had actually never fought a single day of battle, which means that his military command experience was basically zero.To be able to reach the current No.1 position in the army, Yin Chang mainly relied on his royal blood.

Yin Chang was well known for his self-knowledge, so he submitted his resignation immediately, hoping that the court could send someone else to go, and he was willing to assist.Zaifeng's heart is no less painful than him. Now that the court is short of talents, if there is a second candidate, can they still find Yinchang?

Thinking of this, Zaifeng also scolded secretly, why are these talents all from Hualan, there are actually two people in the country who are most suitable for commanding troops, one is Yuan Kai, he trained the new army in the Northern Territory, so it is natural to command It went very well.But in this way, the military power in the Northern Region was once again in the hands of Yuan Kai.After gaining military power, it's hard to say whether Yuan Wei still listens to the court, at least his good life, which is incompatible with him, is coming to an end.

The other candidate is Zhao Shouhong, who has just sprung up for a few years. This man is well-versed in both civil and military affairs. He is well-versed in politics, business, and military affairs. It would be best to appoint him.But I used to plot against others at the beginning, and then because of the rise of the road protection movement, I was forced to let him go back.Now Zhongchuan has become an independent kingdom, and even the money and food are not handed over.If he is allowed to command troops to attack Liangyuan again, wouldn't it be a waste of giving them a chance to expand their power.From Zaifeng's point of view, this Zhao Shouhong is more dangerous than Yuan Kai who is at home.

After thinking about it, among the dignitaries of the late Jin Dynasty, the only ones who knew a little about military affairs and had such qualifications were Liang Bi, Tie Liang and Yin Chang.Tie Liang has been walking in the inner court for a long time, and Zai Feng knows how much he weighs. It's okay to let him eat, drink and have fun, but letting him lead troops to fight is tantamount to sending him to death.Liang Bi is in charge of the Imperial Guard Army, if he leaves, it will be difficult for the Imperial Guard Army to respond quickly if something happens to the imperial capital.

In desperation, Zaifeng could only comfort Yinchang with good words, telling him that Hanxia's militia army was just a mob, and it was not vulnerable at all.What I give you is the most elite army of the Later Jin Dynasty. It is not easy to win.But Zaifeng didn't know that Yinchang didn't want to do it because of the Northern Territory Army.Since the military training at Xiaozhan, the army in the Northern Territory has only known Yuan Kai, but not the imperial court.The soldiers are elite enough, but whether others can command them is another matter.

No matter what, Zaifeng ordered Yinchang not to resign, and quickly allocated manpower and supplies to him, forcing him to choose another day to enter the army.This time, the post-Jin court changed its habit of procrastination and reacted quite quickly to the uprising. On the 14th, the Houjin government organized the first, second, and third armies, announcing that the fourth town of the army that went to the Central Plains Province with Yinchang and the mixed third and eleventh associations would be the first army, and Yinchang would be the military commander.With the fifth town of the army as the second army, Feng Guofu as the military command, the imperial guards and the army's first town as the third army, and Zai Tao as the military command, the three armies moved forward along the railway line and quickly gathered near Jiangkou.

This establishment is also the method Yin Chang came up with after thinking about it. It is very difficult for him to command the Northern Territory Army himself, so he simply entrusted Feng Guofu, the veteran of the Northern Territory, to help him command the new Northern Territory Army.It's a pity that he didn't know that the important ministers of the Northern Territory Department were still obeying Yuan Kai's orders at this time.

Although Yuan Kui retreated to Huanshang Village, it seems that he did not care about political affairs and started to live in seclusion in the mountains and wild cranes. He just sat and fished by the Anyang River every day, but in fact he was not idle at all.There is a secret telegraph room in the backyard of Huanshang Village, and there are no more than five people in the entire Yuan family who can enter here.

In this era, the telegraph is still a very advanced communication device. In the army, only the town commander and above will be equipped with a separate telegraph room.Yuan Kai used such a telegraph machine to keep in touch with the generals in the Northern Territory. Although he lived in seclusion by the Anyang River, he actually knew the domestic situation well.

Chapter 383 Ask Ji Huan Upper Village

It’s just that Yuan Kai missed one point. In the small village not far from Huanshang Village, there is a spy point of Zhongchuan’s intelligence system. There is Zhongchuan’s most advanced radio equipment here, which can intercept Yuan Wei’s telegrams at any time and decipher them. .Therefore, Zhao Shouhong is clear about all the news exchanges between Yuan Kai and the generals in the Northern Region.

When the imperial court ordered Yinchang to lead the army to Jiangxia by train, the generals in the northern region had communicated with Yuan Wei in advance.When raising the army, the generals in the Northern Territory delayed for a long time on the pretext of insufficient military pay, and they did not set off slowly until the military pay was replenished.

The general was not accepted by the king's order. When the army marched to Xinyang, Central South Province, the generals in the northern region that had been discussed in advance made trouble again, and the army stopped and couldn't leave.Feng Guofu knew for a long time that Yuan Kai wanted to support the bandits, so he dawdled in the imperial capital and along the way.In fact, with the support of the Lu-Han Railway, it only took a few days for the Later Jin Army to transport troops from the imperial capital to Hanxia.However, the Army of the Northern Territory was difficult to mobilize, and its actions were very slow, so Yin Chang could only act in a hurry.

The army has been far away from the imperial capital, and now the generals in the Northern Territory refuse to move out again, even the imperial court's order is useless.Yin Chang had no choice but to ask Feng Guofu, but the answer he got was that the army was tired and needed a few days of rest before marching.He was too tired to believe anyone just after leaving the imperial capital, but now that he holds the military power, and without the suppression of the imperial court, Feng Guofu kept his eyes open and told nonsense, and Yin Chang could only listen.Feng Guofu didn't pay much attention to Yinchang's identity.After sending him away, he headed to Huanshang Village in such a blatant manner to visit Yuan Kai.

Feng Guofu approached Huanshang Village with his guards, and was immediately stopped by sentries. He immediately expressed his intention to visit Yuan Kai in person and declared his identity.After the sentry went back to report, he asked his guards to camp where they were, while Feng Guofu entered Huanshang Village alone.

Huanshang Village has high and thick walls, with strong bunkers built every [-] meters, and guard posts are scattered everywhere, just like a military fortress.Feng Guofu walked into the gate, looking at the soldiers standing on both sides, he couldn't help being secretly surprised.These soldiers are majestic and mighty, even more elite than the Northern Territory Army.And the brand-new fast guns in their hands are all the latest styles in the Western Continent. In addition to the heavy machine guns and artillery placed at the top of the city, the weapons and equipment are definitely not weak.

Of course Feng Guofu had heard that this was a model regiment trained by Yuan Kai privately. There were more than 1000 members, and all the weapons were provided by Zhongchuan.But what he heard was what he heard, and now that he saw the weapons in the hands of the soldiers with his own eyes, he couldn't help but whisper in his heart.How close is this reclusive Yuan Gong and Zhao Shouhong, who is now famous in Zhongchuan?

"It's rare for Hua Fu to come here in person. I never thought you would come to see me." Yuan Kai welcomed Feng Guofu in with a smile.

"Yuan Gong is polite. Feng is very grateful for being promoted by the adults. I am here today to visit Yuan Gong and listen to his teachings." Feng Guofu is a dog among the three masters of the Northern Territory. The dog is not derogatory, but to describe him as the most loyal to Yuan Kai.In the past few years, he is the one who has the closest relationship with Yuan Kai among the generals in the Northern Territory.

Seeing Feng Guofu's appearance of listening to the teachings, Yuan Kai nodded in satisfaction: "Hua Fu, you are welcome, please sit down. You people are busy with all kinds of affairs, and it is rare for me to come here. I Ask someone to set up a banquet, and you will have two drinks with me today."

"It's natural." Feng Guofu said with a smile: "It's just that the military affairs are in hand now, and the army will set off soon. I don't care about it, so I came here to ask for advice."

Feng Guofu explained the purpose of his visit, but Yuan Kai was not in a hurry. He smiled and said, "Now that Huafu has a large army in his hands, he is going to Hanxia to wipe out the revolutionary party. This is a good thing and a bad thing."

"This... Excuse me for being blunt, Mr. Yuan, please elaborate." Feng Guofu moved closer again.

Yuan Kui did not directly explain, but told a story: "At the beginning, Bai Qi, Wu'an Jun of the Qin State, was a famous general of a generation. The King of Qin trusted him to give the military power of the whole country to one person, and asked him to lead troops to conquer the State of Zhao. Bai Qi did not live up to expectations. The killing of 40 Zhao soldiers in Ping Yi was so majestic that Zhao Guo had no strong soldiers for ten years, and all the six countries were in awe. It is a pity that after Ma Fang Nanshan, Bai Qibuyun took credit for political affairs, even to the point of disobeying the king's order, and finally died At the hands of Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui. You said that if Zhao Jun is still strong, even if Bai Qi refuses to obey the king's orders, can he be killed?"

"Of course not." Feng Guofu blurted out, and then he gasped.

Seeing Feng Guofu's surprised eyes, Yuan Kai nodded with a smile: "This is the fate of impeaching the master with great merit. The cunning rabbit is killed by the dog, and the bird is hidden by the bow. If the revolutionary party is suppressed, you can still do it. Holding the military power? At that time, your disobedience to orders today will become a reminder for tomorrow."

"According to Yuan Gong, what should Guozhang do?" Feng Guofu asked respectfully, cupping his hands.

Yuan Kai laughed: "I'll just give you six words, take your time and wait and see." The last six words were said by Yuan Kai gritting his teeth.

Hearing this sentence, Feng Guofu was stunned for a while, although he really wanted to know what kind of backhand Yuan Kai would have after doing so.But at least he understood that if he didn't do this, when the Hanxia Revolutionary Party was wiped out, it would be the time for him to go to prison.

With Yuan Kai's face-to-face instructions, Feng Guofu was even more reluctant to leave after returning. One day he said that the soldiers were complaining about their wages, and the next day he would say how many soldiers were not acclimatized and needed a few days of rest and treatment.The imperial court's order to urge the troops to be promoted came like snowflakes, Yin Chang was in a hurry, but the Northern Region Army led by Feng Guofu was not in any hurry.

In desperation, Yinchang had to report to Zaifeng and tell him the actual situation.After receiving this report, Zaifeng was completely dumbfounded.Now that the Northern Territory Army has not entered the army for a long time, the revolutionary parties in all provinces are just around the corner, and there is no way to allocate manpower to enter the Hanxia.At the same time, Zaifeng was afraid that Zhongchuan would suddenly send troops to fund the rebellious revolutionary party, and by that time he would be completely finished.

After discussing with the Empress Dowager Longyu and a group of diehard ministers, Zaifeng decided to invite Yuan Kai out to pacify the Revolutionary Party first, and then promote Zhao Shouhong to stabilize him, so that the two factions can restrain each other.Afterwards, at most, Yuan Wei was promoted to Minister of Military Aircraft as before, and his military power was indirectly taken away, so that the court could rest easy.

With such a plan, Zaifeng immediately issued an edict, granting Yuan Kui the governor of Liangyuan to concurrently handle the matter of suppression. In addition to the Liangyuan army, all the troops led by Yinchang and the waterway reinforcements were also dispatched.This edict is equivalent to giving Yuan Wei a deputy position, and he still has to obey orders from Yin Chang.

Chapter 384 Rejecting the Edict

If it was in history, Yuan Kai would have readily refused, but now he hesitates, because he is not the only one who can stabilize the domestic situation.Naturally, the imperial court also knew this. At the same time as Yuan Kai issued an edict, another appointment was also sent to Zhongchuan to confer Zhao Shouhong as the governor of Zhongchuan and concurrently serve as the admiral, to receive the title of Grand Bachelor of the Palace, and to wear the three-eyed flower feather.

Seeing this appointment, Xie Mingjue, Zhang Liewu and others were very excited. They thought it was a prelude to the imperial court's appointment of Zhao Shouhong to Liangyuan to suppress bandits.Once Zhongchuan can send troops to the two plains, the Vanguard Party and the Gongxinghui will be able to unite to fight against gold.At that time, at least the south of Longjiang will be in the hands of the rebels, and Zhao Shouhong's reputation will also increase greatly, and he may become the central government.

Looking at the excited Zhang Liewu and Xie Mingjue, Zhao Shouhong laughed loudly: "Do you think the imperial court will let me go and wipe out the revolutionary party? Since I became Governor of Zhongchuan, both Zhongchuan and Qingyuan have become our independent kingdoms." , Even the tax burden is not paid. The court is now turning a blind eye, don't watch them give me a promotion, in fact, I hate it so much."

"Zhongchuan is too close to Ryohara. The imperial court would rather risk being attacked by the Japanese and Luo countries and transfer the Northern Region Army to the south than to let me go in and suppress them, just because they are afraid that I will annex Ryohara." Zhao Shouhong picked up the The edict weighed heavily and said: "This time the imperial court sent me an edict, in fact, to force Yuan Wei to submit. As long as he is willing to lead an army to suppress the bandits, the benefits given to me will be worth it."

"But Chairman, if you can increase your reputation in the country and become No. 1 to overthrow the rule of the post-Golden court, it will be of great benefit to your future development." Xie Chi said.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? The first person to stay in the central government, this position is definitely a hot potato. Don't be too anxious about everything. Let's not grab the power of the central government first, then It's like putting shackles around our own necks. I don't even want to have the reputation of threatening Yuan Wei or Sun Wenhai before they decide the Central Plains. As long as we have the strength in our hands, it is the best way to wait and see what happens."

"Speaking of which, this edict has been painstakingly worked out. There are not only a high-sounding title, but also the benefits of serving as an admiral. Speaking of which, I am the first in the history of the Later Jin Dynasty. I have achieved both civil and military positions. It's a senior member." Zhao Shouhong looked at the Shangyu and laughed at himself.

"So, let's accept this decree and wait and see what happens?" Zhang Liewu asked.

"No, it is true that we wait and see the changes, but we must give Yuan Wei a certain amount of room to play, so that he can act in the way we envisioned. Return this edict to me, so that Yuan Wei can deal with the future with peace of mind. Jin court, this will buy us a lot of time." Zhao Shouhong laughed.

A few days later, Zhao Shouhong returned the edict, and he also attached a memorial, in which he wrote that he knew that he was too poor to be responsible.I am willing to cede one of the positions to Yuan Wei, so that the capable can take on the big responsibility, so as not to be entrusted by the imperial court.

Naturally, this memorial was quickly passed on to Yuan Kai. After reading this memorial, Yuan Kai breathed a sigh of relief.He knew that Zhao Shouhong was helping him, so he could do what he wanted.Sure enough, the next day Yuan Kai also returned the edict and supplemented it with a memorial. He replied that he had not recovered from his foot disease and was embarrassed by the important task.

This was originally Zaifeng's excuse for belittling Yuan Wei, but now it is used by him to blackmail the court.The local minister easily rejected the two edicts with two memorials, which is simply a treasonous act.If it was in normal times, the diehard ministers would be furious, thinking about how to continue to suppress them, but at this time the inner court is only gloomy.

Zhao Shouhong ignored Zaifeng's overtures, and Yuan Kai simply quit. The Northern Region Army has been slow to move, and it seems difficult for the court to maintain it.Now that Zaifeng didn't have many trump cards to use, he had no choice but to send Yuan Kui's ally, Xu Haichang, an assistant minister of the cabinet, to Huan Shang Village in person in a disguised form to ask Yuan Kui's intentions.

Xu Haichang originally wanted to communicate with his ally brother. After he came to Huanshang Village, the two talked in the secret room all night.Xu Haichang told the truth about the court and Zaifeng's current difficulties, and the two wrote a reply after analysis.

Yuan Kui's reply was also very straightforward, there were only six in total.First, convene the National Assembly next year; second, organize a responsible cabinet; third, lift the ban on the party; fourth, tolerate the Han and Xia rioters; fifth, grant military power to the front;

Holding the six conditions that Xu Haichang brought back, Zaifeng's hands were shaking.If these conditions were really agreed to, it would be tantamount to handing over the power and military power in the hands of the royal cabinet to Yuan Kai, and even his status as regent Zaifeng and Prince Qing Yikui would be lost.

Yuan Kai's asking price was too high, and Zaifeng didn't want to agree.But at this moment, an unexpected incident helped Yuan Kai.It turns out that before the Jiangxia Uprising, the Houjin government transferred No. 20, a new army stationed in Fengtian, to enter the pass to hold autumn exercises.As soon as the new army arrived in Luanzhou, the Jiangxia Uprising broke out, and the later Jin court had to order them to temporarily station in Luanzhou.

Just a few days after Yuan Kai put forward the six conditions, Zhang Shao, the No. 20 town commander, suddenly launched a military remonstrance, making slogans such as convening the National Assembly within this year, electing a responsible cabinet, and not allowing the royal family to serve as ministers of state as conditions.Zhang Shaozeng's motion was almost the same as Yuan Kai's Six Points. At this time, the Houjin court was in trouble internally and externally, and Zaifeng had to succumb.He immediately issued an edict of guilt on behalf of the emperor, and was ready to hunt Rehe north and escape at any time.

The imperial court has given enough face, not only handed over the command of the front line to Yuan Kai, but also promised to implement the six conditions as soon as possible.Yuan Kai also didn't want the Qing government to fall too quickly, otherwise he would lose the bargaining chip to gain enough benefits from the revolutionary party.

Yuan Kui finally left Zhangde and went to Xiaogan to inspect the division. With his transfer, the imperial army who had been living in Central South Province set off again and marched towards Hanxia.In order to show sincerity to Yuan Wei, the Later Jin court had to appoint Yuan Wei as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet through the election of the Council of Ministers.At the same time, Zaifeng voluntarily removed his status as regent and returned to the mansion in the name of Prince Jin.
