206 First Battle (Third)

Shanghai. Huang Xingyu.

Sun Yat-sen urgently convened a Kuomintang meeting here.

"It's all this point. Why don't you act righteous? Wait for death!"

Anhui revolutionaries Zhang Zigang, Guan Peng, Wang Mengqi, Chen Zifeng, Sun Shiwu, Zheng Zancheng and others all advocated immediate uprising.

Sun Yat-sen turned his eyes to Bai Wenwei.

Bai Wenwei raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything. He was always dissatisfied with the revolutionary party's internal decision to raise troops against Yuan, believing that the general trend had gone and he was very depressed.

Sun Yat-sen turned to ask Li Liejun, "What's the situation in Jiangxi?"

Li Liejun said proudly, "If the provinces can respond, Jiangxi things can still be done."

"Good! This is like a revolutionary! What a hero!" Sun Yat-sen stood up, approached Li Liejun, and tried his best to insult him.

Lin Hu, the commander of the 1st Brigade in Jiangxi, sent Li Siguang, to stand up and make a statement like a golden stone: "If comrades and provinces intend to fight against Yuan, I would like to make trouble with the headquarters first to repay the grievances of the headquarters. No matter what, you can always expect to support for two weeks. If there is no help after this, you can also retreat to Hunan or Guangdong, and then find a way.

Seeing the strong morale of the Jiangxi troops, Li Liejun said, "I would like to make trouble first." He immediately ordered, "Li Siguang! You quickly return to Lin Hu: Anhui, Ning, Hunan and Guangdong are all on standby. If we are in trouble, during the one-star period, all provinces can respond and send reinforcements.

......

Li Liejun came to Hukou in a small ship. As he organized the Yuan Army Command, he telegramed Ouyang Wu and various party and government organs in Jiangxi and said, "I'm excused from officials to go to Shanghai to raise the war. Suddenly, I heard that the Northern Army entered Jiangxi, and I was furious. Now I have returned to Jiangxi to work."

Ouyang Wu did not support Li Liejun's actions. He replied harshly, "There is no main battle here. Please return to Shanghai as soon as possible. Otherwise, Wu will attack the mouth of the lake with the Northern Army. Ouyang sent three people to Hukou to persuade Li Liejun to leave the country, expressing his willingness to pay 30,000 yuan for Li Deyang's travel expenses.

Li Liejun showed Ouyang Wu not to obstruct the uprising with a resolute attitude of life and death. He said to the representative of Ouyang Wu, "Jianjun also knows that Ouyang Wusu is peaceful, but Liejun has arrived here and there is no reason to return to Shanghai. Please speak for Ouyang. If it's good, I'll see you later, otherwise I'll see you in the next life.

Ouyang Wu attempted to mobilize two regiments to attack Hukou. He called Yuan Shikai and said, "It's true that Li Liejun went to the mouth of the lake. Although the two regiments of 9 and 10 are used, in addition, those who can't be mobilized without the order of martial arts seem to be stronger than the two regiments. Now Wu mobilizes the army near Nanchang, tries its best to maintain the outside of the provincial wall, and opens two regiments to attack the mouth of the lake.

However, after all, Gan's army is Li Liejun's old army. He supports the revolution, and Ouyang Wu can no longer command. At this time, the situation in Nanchang was controlled by Yu Yinglu, the backbone of the Jiangxi revolutionary party. Yu once acted as the governor during Li Liejun's sick leave. Jiangxi Parliament is also a supporter of Li Liejun. Under such circumstances, Ouyang Wu had to convene a meeting of leaders from all walks of life to announce his resignation. He claimed: "The army guard is an officer who does not have the ability to dispatch the army now. Wu Heyan has this important position."

Li Liejun declared independence at the mouth of the lake. Lin Hu, the head of the Li mixed regiment, volunteered to be the commander-in-chief of the former enemy army in Jiujiang. Ouyang Wu, the commander of the 1st Division, Liu Shijun, the commander of the 2nd Division, and Cai Sen, the commander of the 4th Brigade in southern Jiangxi, all telegrams to reorganize the military preparations.

The Jiangxi Provincial Assembly elected Li Liejun as the commander-in-chief of the Yuan army in Jiangxi Province, generously vowed, and issued a text to discuss Yuan Yi, slightly cloud:

"Since the founding of the Republic of China, all our people have wanted to achieve the true goal of republic. Yuan Shikai took advantage of the time to steal the handle, and the emperor made himself. Exterminate humanity and assassinate the father; make a contract with the law, and borrow a huge amount of money without permission. Money has a spirit, that is, public opinion can be bought! The position is infinite, and it is under the control of the minions. Near the abdomen of Shengshu Xingshi, ** Gan Province, with military power to rob the world, regard our people as a vengeful, it is really a negative commission of the people. Our people should urgently defend themselves and fight with the world!"

Li Liejun has three chapters of the covenant with the people: first, vowing to kill the thief Yuan Shikai; second, consolidating the republican political system; third, protecting the lives and property of Chinese and foreign people.

Li Liejun also served as the commander of the frontal army. He appointed Fang Shengtao, the commander of the Jiangxi Mixed Brigade, as the commander of the right wing army, Lin Hu, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division, as the commander of the left wing army, and Xia Zhiqi, the commander of the Jiangxi Lecture Hall, as the chief of staff.

At dawn on July 12, Lin Hubing divided into two roads and marched all the way to Shahe Town, all the way out of the right wing to attack the Northern Army in Shilipu.

Li Chun, the commander of the 6th Division, the commander of the Beiyang Front Line, ordered the Wu Hongchang Regiment stationed in Shahe Town to block it, and the Xiao'an Regiment stationed in Shilipu, to make a detour to the Shahe and plagiarize the back road of the Jiangxi army. Xiao Tuan had an encounter with the troops sent by Lin Hu on the way. In the fierce battle, the Yuan army won the first battle and occupied Shahe Town, forcing the enemy to retreat to Guaziling.

When Lin Hu's troops put into battle on the front line of the Shahe River, the troops commanded by Fang Shengtao attacked from Gutang to the east side of Jiujiang City. Due to the difficulty of transporting wooden ships on the waterway and the action were blocked, they could not launch an attack at the same time as Lin Hu's troops. It was not until the night of the 13th that they entered the position. The morale was high, and they were going to enter Jiujiang City to eat early. Rice. However, the communication was not smooth. Fang Shengtao heard that the sound of gunfire on the Shahe River had stopped. He mistakenly thought that he could not attack, so he ordered the troops to return to the same place. The army received an order to return to its original position. The morale was depressed, and the officers and soldiers were lying on the road and sleeping. It seriously affects the development of the war.

Wu Yurui and Li Dingkui, the commanders of the Gan Army in Jiujiang City, worked together to quickly destroy the troops stationed in the city before the Beiyang Army reinforcements arrived at the front line, and then led their troops to De'an to attack the Beiyang Army south of Jiujiang from the wing to fight with Lin Hu. However, because Li Dingkui breached the contract and did not move, Wu Yurui saw that the situation was exposed and the situation suddenly changed. He fled Jiujiang to Hukou alone. He moved two battalions, one battalion to Hukou, and one battalion was attached to Liu Shijun, the commander of the 2nd Division of the Jiangxi Army stationed in Jiujiang City.

After being frustrated in the Shahe Campaign, Li Chun hurriedly adjusted his deployment and concentrated most of his troops to fight back against Lin Hu. He concentrated the troops of three regiments to attack the front line of Shahe Town. Lin Hu led his troops to resist, fought fiercely for 9 hours, and retreated to the Blue Bridge. Li Chun was empty because the reinforcements did not arrive, and the back road was empty. The Jiangxi army in Xuncheng sometimes had an alarm to attack Shilipu, so he had to keep the Beiyang army in the status quo. At this time, Guo Maoxiu, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the Li Dingkui Regiment stationed in De'an, instigated the rebellion. Although Lin Hu found out that it was calmed down, the army's heart was shaken and he was unable to attack from then on.

......

After Li Liejun Hukou advocated justice, Tan Yanqi, the governor of Hunan, also declared independence, and Xu Chongzhi, the division commander of Fujian, also announced an uprising. Sun Daoren, the governor of Fujian, was still waiting and watching. Xu forced Sun, and Sun had no choice but to join the Yuan army. After Bai Wenwei handed over the governor of Anhui, he had already lived in Nanjing. When Li Liejun returned to Jiangxi, Bai Wenwei also returned to Anhui to declare independence in response to Jiangxi.

Yuan Shikai used troops to the south and issued two general orders. The first was to announce the intention of the provinces:

"I have been sick for the rest of my life, and I have been lying in a place for a long time. I have a little pastoral pleasure, and I have nothing to do if I ask myself. This time out of the mountain, the actual opportunity was in danger. I couldn't bear to see the people trapped in the territory of cattle and horse slaves, so they took all kinds of risks. Since the incident, we have always been based on respecting humanitarianism and being suitable for the general trend of the world. We can maintain peace and never break up easily. It is not that there is a shortage of troops. In fact, the people are extremely trapped and can't stand the disaster of war again. Over the past year, the hardships of accommodation should be forgiven by the people. At present, finance and diplomacy are in the thorns, and the fate of the country is in danger. Anyone who has blood and spirit should work together in the same boat. In order to put on the crown, he will never say anything about destruction and lose himself. If there is, he will also be a failure. If he is born in a chaotic nature, he will not be able to win the sympathy of the majority of the people. If the president is better. , he is the culprit of the subjugation of the country with this generation. He not only lives up to the expectations of the public, but also contradicts the original intention. The only thing is to sacrifice himself, preserve the overall situation, exhaust my strength, and defeat this evil. If you send it to each other, you will have the same heart. I would like to encourage it together.

The second way is for the "Gan Chaos":

"The Republic of China takes the people as the main body, and the people's representatives take the Congress as the organ. The politics is not good. The Congress has the responsibility of supervision, the government is bad, and the Congress has the example of impeachment. The president is elected by the parliament, which is very different from the career of the emperors in the era of monarchs. This year's Congress opened early, the people's representatives and the Xianji capital. The constitution has not been decided, and the treaty still exists. Without the Congress, there is no right to supervise, let alone the reason for unauthorized legislation. How can a few people rise and die freely, and how can the people's people's representatives in the world be covered up and ears with the struggle for the rights of a minority? This time, the troops were sent to Xun, which was repeatedly announced by the President and the Vice President. The bottom line is clear. Why should we talk nonsense and use it as a tool to incite trouble for private interests? Today, when I read Ouyang Wu's telegram, I actually pointed out that the national army was Yuan Jun. There was no concept of the country at all, and it was pure tribal thought. Also known as **** killing, the tomb of Lu is a ruin and other feelings. Jiujiang is a place where China and foreign people live together. It is full of eyes. The inspection is on the way, and there is nothing to be seen. Chen Tingxun's emergency, Li Jiandu sent troops to do his own duties and upright. What is a conspiracy? Solitary rescue, what is three marching troops? That is to say, Ouyang Wu's daily electricity is full of electricity, and it is also said that 'Li Liejun went to Hukou, and Wukai's two regiments are going to attack'. There are traitors entering the fortress, and the central government should be in charge of withdrawing troops from the reason of the bandits? Is it true that Chen Tingxun and Liu Shijun's electricity in Jiujiang are not enough, but only Ouyang Wuyuan's electricity in Nanchang is enough? Is it not the people of the Republic of China that has 30 million lives and property in Gan Province? The two regiments led by Li Chun are not the defense army of Jiangxi and the governor? Ouyang Wu was not enough to protect the army, but he was the governor, and he was said to be the governor of the provincial capital. There is no such clear rule. It is like this fallacy. It is not enough to bully the three-foot boy, but to bully the people of the world. Who will believe it? And it is inconsistent with the President's purpose of eliminating chaos and peace with the people, which is inconsistent with the repeated orders. He slanders, calls the army as obedient, regards the government as an enemy, regards Congress as Tu Tu, overthrows the republic, destroys the Republic of China, is the national public enemy, and sinners of all generations. The only innocent people are running around and don't know what to do. The president is really sad. The president is more than 50 years old, and he is sick. With the entrustment of 400 trillion people, he has been suffering for more than years, and he wants to save the descendants of the Li people from being cattle and horse slaves. For such a destructive act, the president should sacrifice everything to save the country and the people. Now the official election will be held in an instant. Although it is very unworthy, it will not be able to fight for power with military strength. It is difficult and difficult, especially has no right. The vice president is also responsible for defiance. Entrusted by the President, he is responsible or regarded as a dispute between Hubei and Jiangxi. It is not a fact. He should still be instructed to quickly calm down civil strife, save the people's water and fire, governors of all provinces, etc., and help with one heart. Don't regard the Republic of China as a family, and don's representatives of the people as dispensable people. The creatures of our five ethnic groups. , or not to be sent to the hands of the undiscipled. Check Ouyang Wu's telegram the day before yesterday, and the meaning is sincere. It is different from this telegram. It is difficult to guarantee that it is not a hostage of Jin Ren, pretending to be in the name. After the dispatchers find out, they will check it out. This order."

Another command is issued as follows:

"The thugs in Hukou, Xuzhou and other places advocated chaos. In order to rectify the discipline and maintain the national principle, the government had to fight with military forces and announced them one after another. The president is entrusted with the responsibility of the people. At this time, it is very difficult to calm down the civil strife and take responsibility. With this heart, it should be understood by our people and all friendly countries know it. I'm afraid of the strange words of rumors, or the undetermined policy. The people are scolded for appeasement and nuisance of traitors, and foreign businessmen take life and property as a hidden worry. If they don't understand the announcement, so that the people of the whole country know the place of obedience and disobedience. All foreign businessmen know the way to suppress chaos and violence. How can they appease people's hearts and believe it? For this reason, there are three general orders: First, the thugs incite rebels, steal land, declare independence without authorization, undermine the unity of the Republic of China, and disturb local public security. Such acts are actually chaos against the party, and the government has to be alerted by soldiers in accordance with national laws. It is to use troops to determine chaos. In order to exercise the ruling power under the treaty law, the government of the Republic of China certainly has this responsibility. II. The trade mission of merchants and people in various countries is contained in the treaty. Where there is a chaotic police place, the commander of the place shall be protected according to the strength of the contract, so that the lives and property of the foreigners will not be slightly endangered due to the chaos. In the future, if foreigners in each place suffer direct losses due to repression and chaos, the government of the Republic of China shall be fully responsible for it. Third, the chaotic party colludes everywhere. If there are local people who enter into all contracts with them, and the impact can reach the country or a locality, no matter what method and what name is used, the government of the Republic of China will never recognize it. Since the issuance of this order, the above three ends shall be issued by the local commanders. The Minister of Foreign Affairs still inspects the diplomatic envoys in Beijing, and enthusiastically sponsors Yahuai, showing the President's intention to eliminate violence and peace. This order."

At the same time, Yuan Shikai appointed Duan Zhigui as the envoy of Jiangxi Xuanfu and the commander of the First Army, and led the second and sixth divisions to attack Hukou and Nanchang. Feng Guozhang was appointed as the envoy of Jianghuai Xuanfu and the commander of the Second Army. He led the two brigades of Yang Shande and Shi Congbin in the Fourth and Fifth Divisions, as well as Lei Zhenchun and Ni Sichong. After going south along Jinpu Road and capturing Xuzhou and Bengbu, they divided their troops and plundered Anqing and Pukou. Zhang Xun was appointed as the envoy of Jiangbei Town, led braided soldiers from Yanzhou to the south along the canal, forced Yangzhou through the south of the Qing River, and then joined Feng Guozhang's army to besiege Nanjing. He also sent the naval chief Liu Guanxiong to lead the naval fleet south to attack Wusongkou, go deep into the Yangtze River, and attack Hukou, Jiujiang and other places.

When Yuan used troops to the south, although he had torn his face against the Kuomintang and was full of traitors, he was still very polite to Mr. Sun Yat-sen.
