103 officers

After the establishment of the new Ili Governor's Office, Guangfu immediately called Yuan Dahua and asked him to sponsor the "Reunification", which was rejected. However, under the repeated urging of Yuan Shikai in Beijing, Yuan Dahua, who knew that the general situation had gone, was forced to send a telegram to "recognize the country and the republic in accordance with the decree". The Beijing government then ordered the governor of Xinjiang to be changed to the governor and sent a representative to make peace with Yili. After receiving it, Yuan Dahua officially replied to Yili Governor Guangfu, saying that he was "willing to negotiate and solve the Xinjiang issue".

Dihua and Yili negotiated on the specific issues of the peace talks, and finally determined that Tacheng would be the venue for negotiations. At the same time, the two sides reached an agreement to determine that the provincial negotiators are Zhang Shaobo, Yang Zengxin, Zhou Dejin and Zhu Ruiqi, while Yifang is He Jiadong, Feng Dashu and Li Fuhuang, among which Zhang Shaobo and He Jiadong are the chief negotiators respectively.

When the Yili negotiator arrived in Tacheng, the revolutionary trend in southern Xinjiang intensified, which made Yuan Dahua anxious, so the negotiations had to be postponed.

After Jin Zhaolong arrived in southern Xinjiang, he immediately contacted the elder brother associations all over the country to prepare for trouble. The focus of the uprising in southern Xinjiang is the Kashgar region. Located east of the Pamir Plateau, the roof of the world, Kashgar is an important town of the ancient Silk Road. Since ancient times, it has been the political, economic, cultural, religious, commercial and military center of southern Xinjiang, and borders the Russian Central Asian Khanate, British India and other places. Its strategic position is very important. Therefore, the success of the Southern Xinjiang Uprising will be directly related to whether the whole province of Xinjiang can be controlled by Li Xiang.

Yin Yuan Hongyou in Kashgar is conservative and opposes the revolution. After Xuantong abdiced, Yuan Hongyou still kept the year number and clothing rules of the Qing Dynasty unchanged. He loyally raised food and salaries for Yuan Dahua and suppressed the revolution.

However, due to the vast defense area, the scattered station of the troops in Kashgar Road, the transportation is inconvenient, and the transmission of information is slow, so the troops are relatively stable. This has reduced a lot of trouble for the preparation of the uprising.

Whether southern Xinjiang can recover peacefully or not, the attitude of Aksu Road, which controls the transportation arteries in northern and southern Xinjiang, is the key. Jin Zhaolong went to the meeting alone to test Yang Zengxin, who once worked for Aksu Daoyin, hoping to eliminate an obstacle to the peaceful restoration of Xinjiang by analyzing the current situation.

Yang Zengxin, Han nationality, from Mengzi, Yunnan. In 2007, he entered Xinjiang to serve as the General Office of Xinjiang Army Primary School, and also served as the counselor of the Public Office. Later, he was promoted to Aksu Daoyin and Xinhai also served as Xinjiang's voy.

"Now that the situation has deteriorated very much, we should come up with a proper solution immediately." Jin Zhaolong came straight to the point. Then he introduced Ma Fuxiang's righteous deeds in Lanzhou in detail. Finally, he hinted that Yang Zengxin had no choice but to take Ma Fuxiang's path in order to avoid the destruction of Xinjiang and the military and the people.

Yang Zengxin immediately said: "Soldiers take obeying orders as their vocation, and Zengxin's actions will only obey the orders of Shangguan!"

"The Qing government has collapsed, and southern Xinjiang should immediately study and decide what to do." Jin Zhaolong first talked about the military situation in the mainland to Yang Zengxin. The main thing he said was that the Anxi army was waiting in Yumen, and then said, "It is difficult to predict what the current situation will develop now. Therefore, we must be careful in everything.

Because the time was not yet ripe, Jin Zhaolong did not reveal to Yang Zengxin that he was the boss of the Central Unification Bureau of the Ezhou Revolutionary Army.

Then, Jin Zhaolong asked tentatively, "How do you think the current situation will develop?"

Yang Zengxin knows Jin Zhaolong's influence in the Southern Xinjiang Brother Association, but he doesn't know which side he is from, so he carefully replied, "There is more discussion outside now. Some people think that there are still many troops in the northwest, and there are also many troops in Xinjiang. If necessary, they can also ask Russia to send troops to take over and buy their equipment to support them. They can always stick to it for a few hours. After all, Beijing has cut off contact, and it can also declare independence like Mongolia and Tibet.

After listening to Yang Zengxin's words, Jin Zhaolong was quite angry in his heart. The word "traitor" almost scolded him, but it was inconvenient to deny him, so he did not make a clear statement, but said vaguely, "There are many difficulties in all aspects now. In the future, the situation is unpredictable, and we still need to consider it carefully."

At the end, Jin Zhaolong made a special statement: "The content of our conversation must be kept confidential!"

Jin Zhaolong knew that Yang Zengxin was unreliable, so he instructed Tan Changgu, the leader of the Elder Brother Association, who was exiled from Dihua to southern Xinjiang, to act secretly.

At present, Yin Chen Zhengyuan of Aksu Dao and Wang Naifa of Wensuzhi County, have been detaining military salaries for a long time, falsely reporting falsely claiming falsely, and enriching their own pockets, so that the army has no food and salary and Ma Yuan'sage harness. Moreover, he is treacherous, violent and stubborn, which aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the officers and soldiers.

Taking this opportunity, Jin Zhaolong and Tan Changgu incited the revolt of the angry new army through the elders, and killed Yin Chen Zhengyuan of Aksu Dao and Wang Naifa of Wensuzhi County, which opened the prelude to the uprising of the Southern Xinjiang Ge Lao Association.

After the incident of Aksu, Yang Zengxin urgently sent a telegram to the general of Aksu Town to Cha Chunhua for help, claiming: "Tan Changgu rebelled. If he is not engaged in military law, it will inevitably lead to a big disaster."

At the same time, Tan Changgu also went to Cha Chunhua, the general of Aksu Town, and said generously: "Yin Chen Zhengyuan of Aksu Province and the king of Wensuzhi County repeatedly deducted military money to fill their own pockets. The officers and soldiers did not eat their stomachs, their clothes did not cover their bodies, and they were weak and were dying. He beheaded him in anger. He had no intention of betraying the military virtues, only for the purpose of killing corrupt officials.

After meeting Tan Changgu and inspecting his troops, Cha Chunhua, the general of Aksu Town, knew that what he said was true, so he comforted him and distributed the officers and soldiers with 1,000 silver dollars and 10,000 yuan of paper money. Then he ordered Yang Zengxin to leave Aksu quickly to avoid the situation from expanding.

From this, Yang Zengxin can know that the relationship between Cha Chunhua and the party is extraordinary, and in the secret letter to Yuan Shikai in Beijing, he also said that "Zha Chunhua is an important leader of the elder brother association", and the Aksu official case was "completely prompted by investigation and so on." Whatever the saying is, it is certain that Aksu's regime has been basically controlled by the Elder Brother at this time. Even if Yang Zengxin refuses to leave, he has to leave.

After the Aksu official's case, the traffic in the north and south of the border was interrupted, so that Dihua "the co-rate was cut off, and everything was expensive" and soon fell into a crisis. Jin Zhaolong also instigated the Kashgar Association to set up Yuan Hongyou as the puppet governor, and he parted ways with Yuan Dahua.

Not long after that, Brother Yanqi also began to act righteously. Yan Qi's general Wu Shouhuai held a banquet to entertain Yin Wang Xue Zeng in Kashgar, and invited committee members Ma Hongbin, Zhang Xian and others to accompany him. Soon after the banquet, Zhang Wang and Wang were cut to death with knives by seven people, including Lian Junquan, He Zhengkui and Hu Decai, who broke into the General's Office. The party seized the seal of the government and summoned more than 100 people to push Lianjunquan as the management belt.

The incidents of officials in Aksu and Yanqi broke through the blockade of Yili by the reactionary regime in southern Xinjiang, reopened the joint road between southern Xinjiang and Yili, and played an important role in Jin Zhaolong's revolutionary activities in Xinjiang.

Soon, Zhong Guanhua, the leader of the Kuche Party, killed Zhizhou Mao Yingwei.

Soon after, Wang Hailong and Xiao Qiubin, the leaders of the party, killed the county magistrate Li Huasong.

In the face of four consecutive official incidents, Yuan Dahua was frightened when he heard the news, afraid that his life would be in order. He called the Beijing government to resign and recommended Yin Yuan Honghu from Kashgar Province as the governor of Xinjiang. Beijing Yuan Shikai's government appointed Yuan Honghu as the governor of Xinjiang, which shows that the reactionary forces in southern Xinjiang and Dihua have openly united and begun to deal with revolutionary forces together.

Yuan Honghu, like Yuan Dahua, belongs to the same stubborn faction, opposing the Xinhai Revolution and democracy and republicanism. During his tenure as the governor of Kashgar, he "taxed" many times and supported Yuan Dahua's reactionary rule, which made the people complain. Later, he ordered the officials and the people to cut their hair and change their clothes, but because they ignored the national emotions and went too far, it caused an "popular discussion" and aroused great indignation among the people of all ethnic groups. With such a reactionary bureaucrat serving as the governor of Xinjiang, the democratic revolution in Xinjiang is bound to face a serious threat.

In this case, in order to prevent the rejoining of the reactionary forces of Dihua and Kashgar, Jin Zhaolong decided to get rid of Yuan Hongyou and contact the Kashgar Association to launch an uprising.

The time of the uprising was selected on the eve of Yuan Honghu's appointment in Dihua.

That night, Yuan Honghu held a big banquet at home.

Taking this opportunity, Bian Yongfu, Wei Dexi and other leaders of the Kashgar Association led the party generals, Yuan Honghu and his wife to kill him. At the same time, Tang Dianheng, the general who attended the banquet, Zhang Bingduo, the magistrate of Shule County, and Zhang Shue, a dismissed official, were also killed. After the victory of the uprising, Bian and Wei organized the people who participated in the event into a new army. The two were in charge of the left and right respectively to manage local affairs. Since Kashgar is a fortress for foreign transportation, stabilizing the situation is the primary problem to be solved by the leaders of the Presbyterian Association. The two people in Bian Wei strictly restrained their bravery, maintained public security, and ensured the personal and property safety of businessmen. During their administration of Kashgar, the local community was safe. The old brother's association has a high reputation in Kashgar and is very supported by the local people. Even Yang Zengxin admitted that "the lives and property of Chinese and foreign people have no loss".

Compared with other parts of southern Xinjiang, the official movement in Kashgar is the most influential. Although Kashgar is located in a remote location, as an important town in southern Xinjiang, it is "a rich area in the province, and the relationship is important." Therefore, under the attention of Yuan Dahua, he regards Kashgar as a source of pay and an important base for Xinjiang.

After Yuan Hongyou was assassinated, southern Xinjiang basically became the world of revolutionaries, and Dihua was also "the sound of the wind and the crane, and people are panic". Therefore, Yuan Dahua could no longer sit still and had to recommend Yang Zengxin as the governor to Yuan Shikai.

Since Yang Zengxin was driven out of southern Xinjiang by Jin Zhaolong, he recruited Hui people near Dihua as soldiers in the name of suppressing the revolution, and formed five battalions of the return team, which was called the "New Army". However, after the outbreak of the official movement in southern Xinjiang, Yuan Dahua asked him to lead troops to the southern border to calm down the chaos. He was perfunctory and did not move. He also actively put on the posture of supporting "reintegration" and urging the "reconciliation" of New Iraq. Therefore, many Ili soldiers and civilians have been deceived, and they are very close to Yang Zengxin as the governor.

Beijing Yuan Shikai's government issued an order to appoint Yang Zengxin as the governor of Xinjiang. Yuan Dahua was forced to resign. Zai Lan also took a detour to Siberia and returned to Shenyang via Cullen. With his shrewdness and strength, Yang Zengxin came to power and was secretly ordered by Yuan Shikai to continue to preside over the peace negotiations with Ili. At the same time, he suppressed revolutionary movements in southern Xinjiang and other than Ili.

However, Yuan Dahua's departure and Yang Zengxin came to power, which triggered a lot of ** in the army. The Xinjiang Army was extremely dissatisfied because it was excluded by Yang Zengxin, especially Cai Leshan's troops, who had defected against Yili. They were very afraid of the retaliation of Yili after the success of the peace talks, so they were emotionally angry. Therefore, some people suggested that Cai Leshan launch a mutiny, create tension, and even kill Yang Zengxin to destroy Yuan Dahua's attempt to return to the east.

When Yang Zengxin was appointed as the new governor, the officers and soldiers of Cai rode around the city in Dihua, shouting to shoot and create chaos. Yang Zengxin recruited thousands of people to prepare for repression, and the war was on the verge of breaking out. Yuan Dahua was worried that the situation would deteriorate further and decided to leave Dihua as soon as possible. So, the next morning, he led many of his subordinates out of the city quietly, left the provincial capital, and then returned to the customs through Hami. So far, Yang Zengxin has officially taken over Dihua.
