161 fast and wonderful

Hankou. Spring teahouse.

Just as the conflict between Li Liejun and Yuan Shikai became more and more acute, Guo Tong, a Republican senator from Jiangxi Province, colluded with Democrats and gathered the leaders of the five groups of the Jiangxi Provisional Provincial Assembly, the Education Federation, the General Commerce Association, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party to gather here secretly.

Guo Tong came to attend this meeting with a lot of worry. Li Liejun promoted a cruel dictatorship in Jiangxi, and their rallies can only be held in other provinces. If Li Liejun is not kicked out of Jiangxi one day, these Republicans and Democrats in Jiangxi can only be like Republicans and Democrats in Hubei, and can only hold their tails from then on.

Guo Tong walked out of the corridor of the box. Suddenly, he saw a stranger peeping in through the crack of the door outside the box door where they were going to have a meeting. Hearing the footsteps, the man hurriedly raised his body and came towards him.

Guo Tong passed by him, and there was a mole on his right cheek.

Guo Tong entered the door and said to the secretary-general of the meeting, "It's strange that the madman Li has managed Hankou so well. How can he get the wrong people?"

The secretary-general of the meeting didn't understand and said to him, "You're back. Everyone is waiting for you!"

"Then let's get started." Guo Tong did not dwell on this issue and said seriously, "... In the name of our five groups, we secretly sent a secret telegram to President Yuan in Hankou, asking the president to send a magistrate to lead troops to Jiangxi to assist Li Du to cut off the violence and calm the place. At the same time, Mei Guangyuan, a Republican, will also call President Yuan from Shanghai in the name of the Jiangxi Guild, asking the president to send prestige as a magistrate, come to the province with the civil affairs chief to comfort the thirst of the common people, publicize the prestige of the central government, and plot to plot!"

"Good!"

"How much time do you think Li Liejun is still rampant?"

There was a lot of noise under the box.

A Mercedes-Benz car was parked on the corner of the street opposite the Mancheng Tea House. The Narcissus sat alone in the back seat of the car. Her eyes were alert like a fox under the lowered brim of her hat. The door of the co-pilot was pulled open, and a man with a scabish on his right cheek flashed in. The driver got off the car.

A few minutes later, a man with a scuffy on his right cheek got out of the car again. The driver followed him into the car and drove the car away.

The narcissus appeared in Luojiashan Villa in a manner and told Li Xiang the original words heard by the Manchun Teahouse.

The narcissus whispered, "I think it's a long line for Guo Tong. Don't worry. Besides, let them make a fuss. When Li Liejun can't stand it, maybe he will come to us for help?

Li Xiang suddenly smiled sarcastically and said, "Just them? Their two things made me see through before the Xinhai Revolution. It's okay for sour literati like them to practice their mouths and use knives and guns. Humph, can you count on it? They can also add a nausea to Li Liejun, which is not enough trouble.

Water Fairy and Li Xiang silently faced each other. Finally, Li Xiang said, "Well, send a personal favor to Li Liejun and tell Li Liejun the secret telegram that Guo Tong sent to Yuan Shikai in the name of 5 groups in Hankou to solve the Jiangxi problem by force."

......

Li Liejun received the information that Li Xiang passed and didn't believe it at first. However, soon, Guo Tong sent a secret telegram to Yuan Shikai in the name of five groups in Hankou requesting a military solution to the Jiangxi problem. It was found by Yu Yinglu, who was sent by Li Liejun to Beijing. It was a copy of the original telegram to Li Liejun and asked him to send a quick call to the central government to explain. . Therefore, Li Liejun finally believed it.

Li Liejun immediately distributed the Yudian manographed letter to the provincial council and thegong gong gong gong gong gong tuan, with the most fierce words, asking all groups to call the central government to cancel the previous telegram.

All groups in Jiangxi hate Guo Tong's recruitment of Beiyang troops into Jiangxi. Isn't this attracting wolves into the house? Public opinion in Jiangxi was in an uproar.

Therefore, various groups in Jiangxi have sent telegrams to accuse Guo Tong of pinching his name and stealing: "Those who have blood in Jiangxi are angry when they hear that they send Zhenfu to lead troops to Jiangxi's electricity."

And the stolen names of thegongcorps of the Federation of Commerce and the Federation of Education are particularly innocent and aggrieved: "After detailed investigation, it is indeed what Guo Tong did. It is tolerable. What is unbearable."

More than 10 organizations, such as the Jiangxi Education Federation, the Merchant Shipping Federation, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Association, the Railway Association, the National Association, and the Socialist Party, also issued a telegram: "The opposition to Wang Ruikai in Gan Province this time is actually out of public indignation from all walks of life. It is not the work of those who have private complaints, and it is not opposed by the simple civil affairs minister of the Central Committee. In fact, it is against Wang Ruikai who cannot be appointed as the people. Political leaders, fans and others would rather sacrifice their lives than listen to Wang Ruiqi harm Jiangxi.

Various groups in Nanchang held a conference of the Jiangxi Public Min Federation to oppose Wang Ruikan's return to Jiangxi and the illegal promulgation of the provincial official system by the central government. Thousands of people attended the conference. The meeting sent a telegram to all provinces: "Since I did not recognize Wang Ruikun as the head of civil affairs, one or two unworthy Jiangxi people, such as Guo Tong, Li Guozhen, Mei Guangyuan, etc., have spread rumors in Beijing and Shanghai, which constitutes suspicion, thus causing noise outside and internal signs of panic. The detention of Jiangxi ordnance by the Ministry of War and the dispatch of the Ministry of War to Jiujiang warships also happened before and after. Fans and others are afraid of this. ... And the temporary provincial capital has been stopped, the official provincial capital has not been established, the organs are unprepared, and there is no one to maintain. On the 3rd of this month, they will gather from all walks of life in the province. All thegonggonggonggonggongtuan invited Governor Li and all directors to come to the joint conference. When it is decided, all major events in Jiangxi Province, for internal and external representatives, the Association shall be the general organ for the time being. In addition to asking President Yuan to take back Jiangxi Civil Affairs Minister Wang Ruiqi's order, and praying for the Army and Navy Department to return the ordnance, retreat from the warship, and asking the Senate to raise a question, we can't fail to sue our compatriots. ...On the 8th of the previous month, the president took advantage of the Senate's recess to promulgate the provincial system and various civil and military officer systems, which was obviously out of an autocratic system and was indeed contrary to the republic. If our people do not fight hard, they will be fashionable. The Republic of China will become a bubble, and it is appropriate to prevent it from frost and ice. Fuji expressed sympathy and public opinion to maintain the political system and protect the rights of the people. What a blessing!"

After the telegram was sent out, the political governors of Yun, Gui, Chuan and Gui, Cai E, Tang Jiyao, Hu Jingyi and Lu Rongting jointly issued a telegram denounced the "conspiracy and theft". The telegram said: "I recently heard that there are treacherous people, plotting to steal, take the opportunity to succeed, south of the Yangtze River, and incitement. ...How can there be any more damage to create a new party? In case of seeing the facts, it will disturb the public security, which is the enemy of the people. Our responsibility lies only if we can do our best to condemn the crime, and we will not let the treacherous plan succeed and lead to danger!" The spearhead pointed directly at Li Liejun.

......

Beijing, Iron Lion Hutong, Presidential Palace.

Yuan Keding took the paper and shouted to his father: "Republican senators Guo Tong, Li Guozhen, Chen Guoxiang, Ji Zhongyin and other 24 people submitted a questioning letter to the presidential palace in the Senate, listing Li Liejun's force to expel Wang, mobilizing the army, expanding the military establishment without authorization, ordering conscription, private purchase of arms, etc. The major crime is to ask the presidential palace why it is allowed to be controlled by the emperor without punishment. Mei Guangyuan, Wu Zongci, Chen Sanli and Xie Yuanhan, Jiangxi Republicans living in Beijing and Shanghai, jointly sent a telegram to declare Li Liejun guilty and the truth of Chen Li Liejun's disaster. The governors of Yun, Gui, Sichuan and Gui, Cai E, Tang Jiyao, Hu Jingyi and Lu Rongting jointly issued a telegram to denounce the "conspiracy and theft". For a moment, the voice of denounced Li Liejun was very loud.

Yuan Shikai was even more arrogant when he saw that he had the support of not only the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, but also the governors of the four southwestern provinces who mastered the actual military power.

"This is the co-branded telegram of the governors of the four provinces in Southwest China." Yuan Keding presented the electric newspaper with both hands.

Yuan Shikai read 4 governors to discuss the telegram, and he was indignant. He immediately said, "The telegram! To the 4 governors and provincial governors!"

Yuan Shikai turned his hands around twice. Seeing that his son Yuan Keding had prepared a pen and paper, he said, "If the president bows to Yourong again, he will not only live up to expectations, but also contradicts his original intention. He can only sacrifice himself to preserve the overall situation and try his best to defeat this evil."

Then, the State Council reported that the president's telegram of eliminating violence and peace is the vocation, saying that "a breath is still there, and there is always elimination of violence and peace is the vocation", and he put on a posture that he was about to send troops to suppress.

Li Liejun resolutely fought back against Yuan Shikai and the forces supporting Yuan. He sent a telegram in the name of "Jiangxi Provincial Public Min Federation", accusing Yuan Shikai of briefly letting Wang Ruikai as the head of civil affairs. He had no philosophy to choose sages and did not understand the sincerity of the public. He did not know that the government of the Republic was dominated by the people. Accusing the Jiangxi gentry of traveling in Beijing and Shanghai of the electric attack is a small group of treacherous and remote people who are greedy for their personal interests and put them in the place. They turn black and white upside down and are critical, which is suitable for the opposite of the public opinion of most people in Jiangxi. They criticize Yuan Shikai for seizing ordners and sending warships to station in Jiujiang and other improper behaviors.

In military terms, Li Liejun strengthened the layout of Wucheng, Gutang, Hukou and De'an, closely monitored the Jiujiang River under the control of Gok'an, and confronted the warships moored in the Yangtze River. The situation became increasingly serious.

In this case, Cheng Dequan, Bai Wenwei, Zhu Rui, Huang Xing, Tan Yanqi and others came forward to mediate and advocated a peaceful solution.

At this time, in view of the fact that Yuan Shikai was on the eve of the formal congress and the election of a formal president, and did not get a "big loan aftermath" from the banking group, the time was not ripe to launch a civil war.

So he appointed the official alliance and had a relationship with the southern soldiers. Wang Zhixiang, who had just been bought, was appointed as the governor and governor of Jiangxi, and prepared to transfer Li Liejun to Beijing. However, Wang Zhixiang did not have the courage to take office in Jiangxi, so he refused to take office on the grounds that "it is not appropriate to use pure means and start disputes". Yuan Shikai had to re-sign Wang Zhixiang as the "Investigation Envoy" and go south to investigate the Jiangxi incident.

......

Wuchang.

Red Mansion.

Zeng Gao said, "After the news that Wang Zhixiang left Beijing, Republicans thought that Wang was a member of the alliance, and they must favor Li Liejun, and the group rose up and vice versa. Yuan Shikai saw that the Republican Party had a misunderstanding about Wang Zhixiang's going to Jiangxi, and hurriedly sent a telegram to the Republicans: "Tieshan (Wang Zhixiang)'s trip is on behalf of me shaking hands with the people in Jiangxi and meeting each other sincerely. The people of the province may not know the intention of the central government, so they can't help but have another misunderstanding. Please send personnel as soon as possible to express this intention to relieve the doubts of the people of Jiangxi. . " Republicans' opposition to Wang Zhixiang's activities in Jiangxi stopped.

Yuan Shikai also sent Geng Yi as Wang Zhixiang's deputy. Geng is a revolutionary and once served as the head of the Guangxi branch of the League. After the Nanjing Provisional Government moved north, Geng went to Beijing to serve in the presidential palace. Yuan Jian Geng has a lot of relationship with southern soldiers and is ready to buy and use it. Geng Xu and Wei She. Geng and Li Liejun have always had a close relationship. He took advantage of Wang Zhixiang's time to meet Huang Xing in Shanghai before he went to Jiangxi. Wang Zhixiang first went to Nanchang to discuss with Li Liejun's strategy to deal with Yuan Shikai.

"It seems that Yuan Shikai has softened first." Li wanted to sneer.

Zeng Gao smiled and said, "The last time I borrowed money, Yuan Shikai didn't have money to fight."

Li Xiping said coldly, "Wang Zhixiang had set up an alliance meeting before, and Tang Shaoyi resigned directly. This time, Wang Zhixiang was sent to Jiangxi. I'm afraid there will be any backhand to deal with the alliance meeting and Li Liejun, the governor."

"I don't care what he has, I promise he doesn't have any crooked thoughts." Li wanted to sneer: "Isn't Yuan Shikai short of money? I'll force him again. The British businessman in charge of this arms transportation is from the Shanghai Jewish consortium. I talked to Hatong and suggested that they ask for "delay compensation" from the Yuan government. As soon as I was reminded, these vampires immediately opened their mouths to ask for 200 taels a day, which created a lot of economic pressure on Yuan Shikai. "

Sure enough, Yuan Shikai scolded "foreign devils" in Beijing and urgently ordered Wang Zhixiang to solve the Jiangxi matter. "Quick is wonderful".

Nanchang.

Wang Zhixiang said to Li Liejun, "Director Wang will never come again. In the future, Governor Li will be in charge or someone else, but he can't make a reservation at this time. In the ordnance detention case, the Ministry of the Army told his brothers to see if the bullets in Jiangxi were enough. If they were used, they would be returned to the central government, and if they were not enough, they would be returned to Jiangxi. The government has expressed its intention to concede in this case, and it should not be difficult to end.

Li Liejun smiled proudly.

Li Liejun did not stop there. After receiving the ordnance detained by Yuan Shikai for more than two months, Li Liejun immediately took measures to expel Gok'an. First of all, he ordered the adaptation of the Jinjipo Fort and the upper and lower forts stationed in Xun to the upper three, and appointed Chen Tingxun as the officers of the upper three turrets on the grounds that the province's along the river along the river, with a total of 6 forts, and only one general officer was set up by one officer. The two forts east and west of Hukou and Madang forts are the next three. Chen Chuandeng has been appointed as the next three general officers, all of which are under the direct command of Li Liejun. He also ordered the 9th Regiment stationed in Xun under the command of Gokgan to be integrated into the 1st Division. In this way, Gok'an was completely deprived of his authority as the governor of Jiujiang. At the same time, Li Liejun also ordered Ouyang Wu, the commander of the 1st Division, to increase troops to the front lines of Jiujiang and Hukou without a headquarters in Shahe, and prepared to solve it by force. Gok'an sent several telegrams to Beijing in a day.

Wang Zhixiang went from Nanchang to Jiujiang to adjust the news.

Yuan Shikai had to order: "Go Ke'an came to Beijing to inquire about the incident, and his Jiujiang garrison appointed Wang Zhixiang as a temporary manager. All the troops nearby are controlled and dispatched by Wang Zhixiang.

Li Liejun announced: "Now I have been ordered to transfer the garrison to Beijing, and the matter will be temporarily handled by General Wang. The place is peaceful, and people's hearts are settled.

The struggle between Li Liejun and Yuan Shikai finally won.
