Beiyang reactionaries

"I, I have no objection."

When Liu Xianshi spoke this time, he asked Xiong Qixun.Xiong Qixun never thought that such a situation would happen in today's meeting. No fool who came today could see the confrontation between Liu Xianshi and Wang Wenhua.It can be seen that Liu Xianshi is going to attack Wang Wenhua today.

Xiong Qixun didn't know what to do.

Xiong Qixun is a member of Dai Kan. Recently, Dai Kan and Wang Wenhua cooperated against Liu Xianshi, but the two of them are not considered allies, but only a temporary cooperation.Therefore, Xiong Qixun didn't know how to choose.

Xiong Qixun was not such a powerful person, so he couldn't decide what to do for a while.

Fortunately, today's meeting did not damage his own interests, so he could only answer in this way.Liu Xianshi showed a smile on his face, sure enough, Yuan Zuming was settled, and everything was easy to handle.

"Everyone talk."

Talk about it.

There is nothing to say.Among the three forces of the Guizhou Army, two parties have already agreed, and another important general on Wang Wenhua's side suddenly defected. The meeting was completely controlled by Liu Xianshi.When Liu Xianshi asked such a question, a bunch of people under his command clamored to agree.

"Okay. Guoyan (Wang Wenhua), what do you think?"

Liu Xianshi finally asked Wang Wenhua again.

Wang Wenhua knew that this was Liu Xianshi giving him another blow, and finally told himself to be honest again.Wang Wenhua was very angry, and even wanted to flip the table, and everyone broke up.

But Wang Wenhua knew he couldn't do this.

Once I really turn the table today, my reputation in Guizhou will be rotten, and it can even be said that my reputation in China will be rotten.And if I really object, then I will completely fall out with Yuan Zuming.The current situation is over, so Wang Wenhua gritted his teeth and said, "I also agree."

Distressed.

After all, an army of thousands of people will be divided out at once.But Wang Wenhua is not reconciled, it seems that he will have a good talk with Yuan Zuming after the meeting.

"Since everyone agrees, then this matter is decided. Let's discuss the complete reorganization plan carefully."

115 Zhang Xun Restoration 4

"Finally waited."

After Duan Xun stayed in Chongqing for two days, he immediately returned to Chengdu without stopping.Because Duan Xun wants to sit in Chengdu and direct the next thing.Hurry up and return to Chengdu in a week.

and so on.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Regardless of how bad Zhang Xun's restoration is and what impact it will have, Duan Xun has been looking forward to Zhang Xun's restoration anyway.I have made so many preparations based on Zhang Xun's restoration, so what Duan Xun is waiting for now is Zhang Xun's restoration.Only when Zhang Xun's restoration comes out, can Duan Xun's many actions have enough name to continue.

Finally waited.

On May 1917, 5, Zhang Xun led an army of five thousand whips to Beijing.Although the conflict between Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui became more and more intense, and the situation in Beijing was very bad, Zhang Xun, the mediator, did not rush into Beijing, but wasted time on the road.Because he has been in constant contact with various forces along the way, and he is also perfecting his plan.

It took more than ten days on the road. On May 1917, 5, Zhang Xun's army finally arrived in Beijing.However, Zhang Xun did not lead troops into Beijing, but stayed outside the city and began to make final preparations.

On May 1917, 5, that is, the night when Zhang Xun's troops arrived in Beijing, Zhang Xun suddenly sent troops to "invite" Wang Shizhen, commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Tianjin Provisional Guard, deputy commanders Jiang Chaozong and Chen Guangyuan, and director of the Jingshi Police Department Wu Binghu. .Then he told them that he brought troops into Beijing this time not to adjust the conflict between Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui, but that he came to Beijing this time to restore the emperor's throne.The words made several people present turn pale with shock.

But Zhang Xun quickly reassured them.Said that he has communicated with other countries, and there is no problem in diplomacy. The European, American and Japanese powers all agree that China will restore the Qing Dynasty.He also said that both Feng Guozhang and Lu Rongting agreed to this matter, and the members of the Overseer Army also agreed, and Duan Qirui did not object.Anyway, Zhang Xun's meaning is very simple. What he has to do is not only that the great powers have no objections, but also the powerful factions in the country have no objections.

But even so, Wang Shizhen and the others dared not agree.

Who can believe it?

If you, Zhang Xun, talk about it with empty teeth, everyone will believe you?The Qing Dynasty has been destroyed for six years. If you want to restore the Qing Dynasty now, who would dare to agree.So Wang Shizhen and the others were submissive, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Zhang Xun asked them to open the city gate to let his troops enter Beijing, but they were all hesitant, not at all happy.

In a fit of anger, Zhang Xun told them that either he would open the city gate and let me in, or we would fight to the death in Beijing.Zhang Xun's murderous words made several people lose their minds.It can only be agreed with Zhang Xun to lead troops into Beijing.

After the meeting, Zhang Xun took all 5000 "braided soldiers" into the city.Then, Zhang Xun put on a blue gauze robe, a yellow mandarin jacket, and a red-topped flower feather, and led Kang Youwei, Wang Shizhen, Jiang Chaozong, Chen Guangyuan, and Wu Bingxiang, civil and military officials, into the palace by car.When he entered the palace, it was already the early morning of the next day.

At around 1917 am on June 6, 1, the 12-year-old Pu Yi, who had abdicated in the first year of the Republic of China, came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to summon Zhang Xun under the escort of concubines Jin and Yu, Taibao Shixu, and master Chen Baochen. Everyone waits.Seeing the little emperor sitting on the dragon chair, Zhang Xun immediately threw off the horseshoe sleeves, led the crowd to kneel down on the ground, and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Puyi.

Zhang Xun wiped his tears and said that since the Revolution of [-], the whole country has not been prosperous, but the state affairs have become more and more difficult.This is all because of the end of the Qing Dynasty and the lack of a wise emperor.Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of bragging about Puyi, saying that Puyi was the wise emperor who saved China, and asked Puyi to regain the throne.Puyi immediately said that he was too young to take on this important task.Anyway, this is all a routine, Puyi declined a few times first, and Zhang Xun and the others continued to ask Puyi to be the emperor.In the end, Puyi "reluctantly" accepted the throne.After Puyi agreed, Zhang Xun, Kang Youwei, and Wang Shizhen shouted long live.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xun sent Liang Dingfen, an old minister of the Qing Dynasty, and others to bring the imperial edict conferring on Li Yuanhong as the first-class prince and Kang Youwei's memorial "Li Yuanhong, please return the state affairs" written in advance, and knocked on the door of the presidential palace at five o'clock Ask Li Yuanhong to sign the memorial.

Li Yuanhong was startled when he saw this.

Zhang Xun is going to restore it. If he signs here, he will become a sinner through the ages and be reviled by thousands of people.Li Yuanhong's greatest skill is to be a silent clay bodhisattva.Just like after the Wuchang Uprising, he was carried to become the governor of Hubei, but he didn't speak at first.I see what you can bear with me?

It's the same this time.

Li Yuanhong just didn't sign, and then closed his eyes and didn't speak.Do you still dare to kill me?Liang Dingfen had no choice but to go back and discuss with Zhang Xun.But when it was dawn, Li Yuanhong immediately sent a telegram to Feng Guozhang in Nanjing, asking Feng Guozhang, the vice president, to act as the president, and then ran out by himself and took refuge in the Japanese embassy.Anyway, the smart Li Yuanhong would not mix with Zhang Xun even if he was killed.

But without Li Yuanhong's seal, it didn't hinder Zhang Xun's actions at all.

On June 1917, 6, Puyi officially ascended the throne.

This is the famous "Zhang Xun Restoration" in history.

The restoration of Zhang Xun is something that Duan Xun has been waiting for for a long time, and it is also something that Duan Qirui has been waiting for for a long time.Therefore, as soon as Zhang Xun was restored, Duan Qirui immediately issued a telegram and appeal to Zhang Xun in Tianjin, organized an anti-rebel army, and appointed himself the commander-in-chief of the anti-rebel army.

"De Cao (Sun Zhen), publicly issued a statement in the name of the Sichuan Governor's Mansion, opposing Zhang Xun's restoration, and supporting Prime Minister Duan's organization of the anti-rebel army. I personally serve as the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Anti-Rebel Army, and will immediately form troops to respond to Prime Minister Duan. Then Send a cooperation letter to the surrounding provinces to facilitate the operation of the Sichuan Rebellion Army, and don't stop the operation of the Sichuan Rebel Army."

"Yes."

"Immediately send a telegram to the First Division, Third Division, and Fourth Division, telling them to follow the original plan."

"Yes."

…………

"brigadier."

"Have you contacted Captain Li?"

"Yes."

Change too fast.

The restoration of Zhang Xun caught many provinces by surprise, because none of them expected such a thing to happen.None of them thought that Zhang Xun would really dare to go against the grain, and would really dare to re-establish the Qing imperial family.

So for a moment, except for some people who are prepared, others don't know what to do.

But Duan Xun is different.

It's already ready.

Duan Xun responded to Duan Qirui when Duan Qirui called for the formation of the Anti-Insurgency Army and recognized himself as the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Insurgency Army, and sent troops to respond to Duan Qirui.And Duan Xun said in Chengdu that Duan Xun's troops had already set off on the other side.

Tao Jichang (Tao Zhiyue) was stationed in Xuyong as the brigade commander of the First Division of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army, and the troops set out to point directly at Zunyi.However, there are some Qian army troops in Zunyi, and Duan Xun's order is not to directly conflict with the Qian army troops.Therefore, Tao Ji often took his troops to Zunyi, but if he wanted to control Zunyi, he needed the cooperation of the troops currently in Zunyi.
