88 eyes left no son

Li wanted to sit on the old-fashioned sofa with Russian style and spread the telegram and map on his lap. The war in the northwest is rolling in his mind.

Li Xiang's eyes were red. In the siege battle day and night, the soldiers did not rest, and he did not close his eyes. The overall situation of the Lanzhou battlefield has been decided, and he should have relaxed for a few days. However, compared with the national situation, this is only his first step against Yuan Shikai, who is about to take office.

There is a telegram on the table. This is Ma Hongkui's father, Ma Fuxiang, a senior officer of the Zhaowu Army, who jointly sent a call for a truce and peace.

In the First Battle of Lanzhou, Li wanted to make two preparations from beginning to end to solve the Lanzhou problem in two ways: one is to fully prepare to eliminate all enemies who dare to resist with military force; the other is to strive to adapt some enemies in a peaceful way under military pressure. This can avoid the destruction of war and reduce the loss of people's lives and property. At the same time, it is also the only bright way out for Ma Fuxiang, who is at the end of the road. According to the specific situation of Erma in Lanzhou, Li wants to prepare a military and political approach, divide the two horses one by one, and quickly restore the whole territory of Gansu.

Now, it's time for Ma Hongkui, who has the most reasonable saying that "the Hui people are Hui, not the Hui people" to play a role all day long.

The familiar footsteps outside the house shocked Li Xiang in his meditation. It was Lin Tiechang, Zhang Fengyi, Jing Bumu, Zhang Yunshan, Huang Yue and other comrades from the Anxi Army's combat headquarters. Behind them are Liu Eryu, an upper-class gentry in Lanzhou, and Wang Haoran, a well-known Imite.

Li Xiang was extremely excited and raised Ma Fuxiang's telegram for peace and said, "The battle of the Western Expedition is like climbing a mountain. Now we have crossed the hillside and climbed the top of the mountain. The most difficult stage has passed, and a new turning point in the war situation has arrived! In completing the task of resouing the whole northwest, there was no serious battle. It was basically a matter of walking and taking over. Of course, it will take some twists and turns to "take over" well.

The decisive battle in Lanzhou annihilated the main force of the Ma army with the strongest combat effectiveness among the enemy in the northwest, declared the victory of the decisive battle in the northwest battlefield, and laid the foundation for the victory of the Western Expedition.

"The Spring Festival is coming. In our place, there is now a Xinjiang, and a Qinghai has not all of them. Let's work harder to take these two places before the country, so that we can go home for the Spring Festival! What do you think?"

Li wanted to speak the heart of all the commanders of the Anxi Army, but they knew that the Spring Festival would be in three days, and even if the rest was just walking and taking over, it could not be completed. So the big guys just laughed.

Wang Haoran said respectfully: "The Anxi Army is advancing towards Lanzhou, and there is no crime in the autumn. It has strictly implemented the Code of Unity and Returns and the Code for the Prisoners of Hui formulated by the Anxi Army and the Northwest Bureau. Each company has established an ethnic policy propaganda group and a national discipline inspection group to educate the whole It refers to the warriors who always respect the freedom of religious belief and living customs of the Hui people. For the officers and soldiers of the Hui people's forces who were captured in the battles of Guguan, Sanguankou and Lanzhou, strictly implement the captive policy, and do not kill or fight. Don't scold, don't search your pockets, don't insult your personality, treat the wounded and sick, and everyone who wants to go home will be paid three silver dollars for the travel fee. Especially for the Hui prisoners, let them start a new stove and recite scriptures. Wherever the army went, it powerfully exposed the reactionary propaganda of Changgeng and Shengyun's so-called "killing back the religion" of the revolutionary party, so it won the hearts of the people.

In addition to Ma Hongkui in his hand, Li Xiang, Mr. Wang Haoran, an upper-class progressive of Gansu Islam, and others, are also well-recognized. In order to convey the sincerity of the Anxi army to peacefully solve the northwest, he advised Ma Fuxiang to recognize the situation and abandon the secret.

In addition to solving the Northwest Warfare by combat, it still needs to be solved by political means. The northwest region is very wide, and the ethnic groups are very complex. Li Xiang has very few Hui cadres with prestige. If he wants a thorough, sound and rapid solution, he must adopt a political approach as an auxiliary to the combat mode. Now it has the advantage, and the political approach is more beneficial than harmful.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang said, "I reply to Ma Fuxiang and welcome their actions of abandoning the secret. The message is as follows..." He said in a straight voice, "On the 27th, I learned that the generals are gratified that the Gansu issue is willing to be resolved peacefully. I hope that the governor will lead your department to implement it as soon as possible, and then I will inform Commander Lin Tie. All parties hope to send representatives to Lanzhou to contact Lin Tiechang. Special reply."

After saying that, Li Xiang paused and added: "Strive to disarm all of them, and then strive for most of them to disarm, an adaptation. In a word, the fewer troops are adapted, the better.

Several people exchanged glances with each other, and they all saw that Li Xiang hated the return to the army. The Ma family returned to the army and had a bad reputation in the northwest. They had no opinion on Li Xiang's decision and fully supported it.

"We can look at Ma Fuxiang and Ma Anliang differently, but the solution to the problem must be on the front line. My rules have always been like this, and Ma Fuxiang can't be unique. If Ma Fuxiang wants to solve the problem, he should quickly send a representative to Lanzhou Anxi Army Command to contact Commander Lin Tie. It would be better if Ma Fuxiang could come to Lanzhou in person. Or send a representative, you will be welcomed, and there will be no danger. After saying that, Li Xiang said to the old man with a white hat and a beard, "Mr. Wang Haoran, please turn around as soon as possible to avoid mistakes. The time for the Northwest Front to march on the Hexi Corridor is approaching. Ma Fuxiang's representative should come to Lanzhou as soon as possible. Don't delay it any more.

The meeting was over, and Li wanted to sit alone on the sofa.

At night, it gradually got dark, and the wind outside the window called sadly.

"Li Shuai!" Tang Yuewan pushed the curtain and came in. He probably felt that he was too bold. He smiled and said, "The Nanjing Provisional Government sent education chief general, Cai Yuanpei, to welcome the special envoy, Wang Zhengting, deputy speaker of the Senate, Wei Chen Group, deputy director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Liu Guanxiong, the naval adviser, Wang Zhaoming, the former council and counselor Wang Zhaoming, the deputy chief of staff Niu Yongjian, and Song Jiaoren, the director of the legal affairs bureau. Zeng Zhaowen and Huang Kaiyuan, the commander of the First Regiment of the Quartermasters Department of the Army Department, went to Beijing with Tang Shaoyi, the representative sent by Yuan, to welcome Yuan. The special mission has arrived in Beijing.

"Mr. Sun has set up such a big battle that he really wants to welcome Yuan Shikai to take office." Li wanted to laugh.

Tang Yuewan knew what Li wanted to think, because he said, "President Sun Yat-sen met with the British Times reporter Fulai Sa and expressed optimism about Yuan Shikai's going south. They ate tea together and talked for a long time. President Sun Yat-sen expressed satisfaction that Yuan Shikai would come here in two weeks. They learned some of Yuan Shikai's views from Beijing in private. They said that Yuan Shikai himself did not want to stay in Beijing and agreed to move the capital. They said that Yuan did not want to say these words in public, and they did not want Flosa to publish these words. When Yuan arrived, President Sun Yat-sen said that he would meet with him and accompany him wherever he went in person to prevent fanatics from throwing bombs. Their idea is that the Yuan family will not lead the guard when they come here, so they have to rely on the revolutionary party to be responsible for the defense work.

"Isn't it true that such unreliable rumors are blown there?" Lixiang really said with tears and laughter, "Yuan Shikai's head is caught in the door. Will he agree to the capital Nanjing?"

"This is not necessarily the case. Yuan Shikai refused to go south. How did he become the president? Is it in Beijing? For this, the hard-won peace between the North and the South may break down. Yuan Shikai had to think twice. Tang Yuewan sneered and said, "Because Yuan Shikai is about to become the president of the provisional government, many revolutionaries feel that the ideal of the revolution has not been realized, so they think of the martyrs who died in the revolution. The revolutionaries from Sichuan decided to hold a memorial service for the martyrs to relieve their anger. Sun Yat-sen was invited to attend the memorial service and signed an order in the name of the president, posthumously honoring Zou Rong, Yu Yunji and Peng Jiazhen as generals and Xie Fengqi as lieutenant generals. However, Zhang Taiyan took a couplet to the venue, which made the atmosphere of the memorial service suddenly tense. The couplet said: "A group of rats and dogs steal, and the dead do not close their eyes; this place is full of dragons and tigers, the ancients' false words." Zhang Taiyan means that the Nanjing Provisional Government is full of rats and dogs, and Nanjing is not a suitable place to build a capital. Such a fierce internal confrontation made the revolutionaries who launched the memorial service even more desperate: the dead have been resettled, what about the living? The people in our secretariat will never be able to be an official with Yuan Shikai. Because Deng Jiayan was very dissatisfied with the discussion, he must go out to run a newspaper and oppose Yuan Shikai..."

Tang Yuewan suddenly heard a slight snoring sound and looked up. Li Xiang leaned on the sofa tiredly and fell asleep. He is really tired these two days. Tang Yuewan pulled a dry blanket to cover him, then quietly pulled the door up and left.

The sky was slightly bright. Cai Yuanpei got up early and cheered up to meet the newly elected President Yuan.

Cai Yuanpei took Wang Jingwei and Song Jiaoren to visit Yuan Shikai. As soon as the famous post was handed in, Lao Yuan immediately came out to greet him. The two sides saw the ceremony, and the guests sat down and said a few polite words on the scene. Cai Yuanpei sent Sun Yat-sen's letter and the official documents of the Senate to each other.

Mr. Weiting:

The literary service is exhausted, and the arduous task is to look forward to the public. According to Wen's original wish, he originally wanted to explain the state affairs, Bo You He Shuo. With the consent of the people, he came to the south, and Wen Sui also thought that the public's trip was related to the audio-visual of the new country, and the expectations of others. So I have applied for the order to govern the museum, and I am waiting for the Xuanche. Now that the sea is unified, there are important generals in the north and south. They are entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining order for the hearts of the people. There is no need for our generation of public servants to supervise them. Today's urgent matter, but the temporary location of the central organ of the New Republic of China is a vision of the Chinese and foreign country. Don't let the world's Huai Temple Palace have not been changed, so that the bureaucrats still have a sense of the city and society. Then Yanjing is temporarily set up as a leisure city, and Ningfu is the first to be built as a new capital. If it is not a special public, it must be agreed with the people, that is, all the people who advocate republicanism in the north and south and the corruption of the old days, would rather have a question? As for the city that will be fixed for a long time, the location is appropriate. As long as the overall situation is settled, it will be decided from the formal national theory, and it should not be expected now. In a word, the volunteer of literature, but seeking to be a new state, the heart of the public, more willing to kill the people, so I know that the north and the south will run, and the public will look forward to their own leisure. Wow! The people of my generation have been looking at the world for a long time. With the development of the Republic of China, our people can be in the forest of humanity in the world. In addition, how can they still be compassionate? The work of the public's rotation kills its heyday, and the text is also suddenly about to decline. The heart of our generation is enough to have endless resources, but it is only the justice of most happiness. The public should not take the road as a hardship, thinking that it is reluctant to serve. When the public flag comes to the south, Wen should follow the end of the light, and live left and right to be happy for the public security. As the public is in trouble, he will resign. I can't wait.

Sun Yat-sen's words are sincere, but the reason he put forward is that it is not appropriate to build the capital of Beijing is just that "don't let the world's Huai Temple Palace be suspected of not being changed, and make the bureaucrats have a sense of the survival of the city community", which is obviously thin and far-fetched.

After reading the letter, Yuan Shikai frowned and said, "I'm thinking about going south all the time, hoping to work with you all together for the great cause of unification. However, the situation in the north can't be settled for a while. Only when everything here is arranged can I leave at ease. In addition, I am a person who is about to turn 60 years old. I think that neither my talent nor ability is enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the president. I just hope that I will be a peaceful people after the establishment of the Republic. I don't know why you chose me as an old man? And repeatedly urging me to go south? I don't believe that such a big southerner can't find a more suitable candidate than me!"

Listening to his tone, he was already out of sight.

However, Cai Yuanpei is a person who only knows how to learn. He didn't hear anything at all. He just said, "Your reputation and prestige are admired by people all over the world. This election is expected by the public. Why should you be humble? It's just the soldiers and civilians in the south, and they really want to see your face. If you don't want to go south, I'm afraid they will be suspicious and think you have any other ideas.

Yuan Shikai said with great difficulty and said, "The north wants me to keep it, and the south wants me to go. I don't have a way to separate, so I can take care of each other. But when it comes to the issue of the national capital, I just advocate the north. This is the fixed star of Fatty Yuan.

Song Jiaoren was young and vigorous. Seeing Yuan Shikai's hypocritical surface, he couldn't bear it, so he said loudly, "Mr. Yuan's claim is stupid, but he thinks it's not possible. This civil army uprising, from Wuchang to Nanjing, has set up an interim government and a Senate. Due to the resignation of President Sun, an old man was specially elected to succeed him. Mr. He is entrusted by the people and should rely on the will of the people. Why should he fall in love with Beijing?

Yuan Shikai raised his eyebrows and raised his beard. He was impressed by the words of the Song Dynasty. He couldn't help but cheer up and said slightly, "Nanjing is only according to the corner. From the former Six Dynasties and the Southern Song Dynasty, the left side of the Anjiang River, the soldiers could not control the Central Plains. If Beijing is the capital of all dynasties, the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are all based on this. Now it is the right place to settle down and move again. If the people in the north don't accept it, even foreign embassies may not be willing to migrate.

Song Jiaoren said unyieldly, "You can't talk about everything in the world. Ming Taizu built the capital Jinling. Don't you try to unify the north? Considering the disputes between outsiders, our country is not a protected country, and sovereignty should be in our hands. If I want to move south, he can't refuse me. Moreover, since Gengzi's boxing is chaotic, Dongjiaomin Lane has become a circle of power for foreign envoys, storing equipment and accumulating millet, stationing troops and fortification. With a slight change in Beijing, he has enough to kill me. If I negotiate with him, he will stick to the original contract and can't change it. Today's newly built in the Republic of China, it happens to take advantage of this to move south to get rid of the fetters. That is, if it is a gentleman's plan, it is not impossible to move to the south. If it is still in Beijing, it seems to be appointed by the Qing Emperor. In the history of the Republic of China, it is suspected that Mr. Liu Yu and Xiao Daocheng Liuya, Mr. Liang is not worthy of this stigma.

Song Jiaoren's words are very strong. When Yuan Shikai heard this, he looked quite angry and was about to defend him. Suddenly, he saw someone coming in outside and smiled at Song Jiaoren and said, "Fisherman! You're talking again."

Song Jiaoren looked sideways and saw that it was Tang Shaoyi. He got up and replied, "Mr. Shaochuan, didn't you hear that Confucius was in the imperial court of the Zongmiao that day? Although this is not the imperial court, it is of great importance. How can you be speechless?

Seeing Tang Shaoyi, Cai Yuanpei and others stood up to welcome each other.

Tang Shaoyi gave up his seat and smiled and said, "Regarding the issue of the national capital, we might as well call the National Assembly another day and let the delegates vote. Everyone came here today, just to invite Yuan Gongnan to go down. Why bother with other things? Yuan Gong should also consider that they have come from afar and welcome them enthusiastically. If they can choose a day to set out, they will live up to their kindness.

Yuan Shikai climbed up with the pole and smiled, "What Shaochuan said is that I should thank the princes and thank President Sun and the senators for their great feelings. They not only accept the great righteousness and encourage each other, but also dare not do their best to make profits for the country and the people. It will take three or five days. If the situation in the north is stable, I will go south."

After saying that, he ordered to set up a banquet to take over the wind, and treat each other at a grand banquet. He pushed Cai's envoy as the head. Wang, Song and others sat down in turn. Tang Shaoyi became the main guest, and Shikai sat as the chairman. He didn't say anything. What was said during the banquet was that many of the past events in the north and south were in a flash, and they all had three points of wine with each other. They immediately left the banquet. After booking, the old Yuan's official still sent Cai's envoy back to the guest house.
