223 Fisherman Proud Middle

Beijing. The Presidential Palace.

Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth and kept swearing. Although it was during the New Year, there was no joy in the presidential palace at all. Officials, large and small, were afraid that they would meet Yuan Shikai's anger and lose their heads.

"Fisherman's Pride

Wanmu frost is red,

The heavenly soldiers rushed to the sky in anger.

The fog is full of Longgang and thousands of dark,

Call in unison:

Zhang Jingyao, where are you going?

200,000 troops re-entered Jiangxi,

The wind and smoke have been rolling for half a day.

Arouse millions of workers and peasants,

Dry with one heart,

The red flag is in chaos under the mountain.

......”

He once pushed the collection of the Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties and proudly said, "There is no hero at the time, which makes the vertical son famous". Compared with Liu Bowen in the current world, Yang Du, who holds the art of dragon slaughtering, can't help but be abrupt for the bold poems of this madman Li in the south. There are not many works of this madman Li, but every time something comes out, it must be a masterpiece that shocked the literary world.

"Enough!" Yuan Shikai roared.

Yang Du, who is facing the wind in Yushu, just shrugged his shoulders. He is the only person in the presidential palace who is not afraid of Yuan Shikai's temper, because he does not have a position in Beijing Zheng's government, which is also the reason why Yuan Shikai can't do anything about it. He even feels a little guilty about this meritorious minister.

Speaking of which, Xiong Xiling became the prime minister, and Liang Qichao actively made suggestions for him.

Xiong Xiling is ambitious and wants to form a first-class talent cabinet. He asked Liang Qichao to be his chief financial director, Yang Du as the chief of transportation, Wang Daxie, the former minister of Qing and German minister, was the chief of education, and Zhang Jian was the chief of agriculture, industry and commerce. Liang, Yang, Wang and Zhang are all first-class talents in China. Xiong Xiling believes that his cabinet will be a veritable first-class talent cabinet. However, Yuan Shikai did not think that Liang Qichao was the appropriate chief financial director. He could only serve as the chief of justice, and the chief financial director should be Zhou Ziqi. The Progressive Party was unwilling to give up the position of finance Minister. They came up with a way to let Xiong do it, so that others had nothing to say. Zhou Ziqi became the chief of transportation, and Xiong Xiling wanted Yang Du to be the chief of education. The Ministry of Communications is a very powerful department, and Yang Du wants to use this to show his ambition. He was quite unhappy about losing this president.

Xiong Xiling advised him, "Xiongzi, please help me change it."

Yang Du casually replied, "I don't help you."

Because the general manager of transportation is busy, and the general manager of education is idle. After this witty words spread, everyone praised Yang Du's agility. Yuan Shikai saw that Yang Du had not entered the cabinet for the second time, so he specially appointed him as a member of the political conference.

......

The Jiangxi army led by Lin Dong won the first victory against the anti-encirclement and suppression, which scared Yuan Shikai's battlefield commander Li Chun. In the telegram to report the situation to Yuan Shikai, he did not hide his undetermined mood. He actually used such a sentence: "In the battle of Longgang, the 18th Division will not return..."

It is not only the suppression of bandits in Jiangxi that annoys Yuan Shikai, but also the suppression of bandits in Henan.

Gao Xin, Song Yim and hundreds of people attacked Ye County, Xiangcheng and other places. Bai Lang personally led more than 1,000 people south with the intention of attacking Tang County and Biyang. At that time, it was rumored that Bai Lang declared, "If you can occupy Tang, Bi and other places, you should share the south with Gao Xin and Song at a glance in order to make a big move." Due to the internal response of the garrison of Tang County, Bai Lang captured the county in one fell swoop overnight, capturing six cannons, two machine guns and many bullets, which was very powerful. After Bai Lang occupied Tang County, he was afraid that the officers and soldiers would chase him. On the same day, he abandoned the city and went north, conquered several villages and towns, and attacked Lushan directly through Nanzhao. At that time, as soon as Lei Zhenchun, the Henan guard, led his troops to the southwest of Henan, he urgently ordered Wang Maoyuan, the right-wing leader, to lead two battalions to rescue Lushan. When Wang's army arrived in Lushan, Bai Lang's army had changed its plan and suddenly captured Yu County. The officers and soldiers who guarded the city abandoned their weapons and fled. Bai Lang captured 300 guns, and his property was uncounted. He bundled 200 large carts and triumphantly returned to the Lushan area. Since then, Bai Lang's voice has shaken Yuxi. He issued a six-word notice in the name of "Fuhan to fight against Commander Yuan". First, he revealed that "Manye has lost his luck", and then angrily scolded Yuan Shikai for "pretending to be the name of the Republic of China". Finally, he said, "Now Allah in Zhongzhou is like a god."

Yuan Shikai ordered a practical rectification of the "suppression of bandits" against the Henan generals: "The province's bandits are spreading, and the poisons are good, and they are all played by the generals, so that the teachers are angry for a long time. If you are not good at suppressing bandits, find out the seriousness of the circumstances, or participate in the revolution, or the pre-military zheng law. I hope it can be rectified and don't ask for a moment. The bandits in the area of Fangcheng should be quickly swept away to appease the place.

Yuan Shikai's call back to Li Chun mainly criticized him for being timid: "Of course, it is not surprising that the 18th Division failed. Whenever my brother hears about the chaotic party, he is at a loss. Why are you so timid? Isn't he sneer at it when he hears about it? Ji'an is an important town in Ganzhong. I hope you will be strict and stick to it. You are only allowed to move forward and not retreat.

......

Wuchang. Red Mansion.

When Li Xiang saw the six-word notice issued by Bai Lang in the name of "Fu Han and the commander of Yuan", he sneered: "Bai Lang's political level is to hate the old feudal regime to the bone, but he can't jump out of the barrier of claiming the emperor. Even with Ji Yulin, I don't think the white wolf will last long.

Li Xiang came to the map and looked at Hunan.

Hunan has also declared its independence. When the southern anti-Yuan front began to collapse completely, Tan Yanqi's eyes turned red and black, panicked, and announced the cancellation of independence.

Yuan Shikai took the opportunity to send Cao Kun's third division to Yuezhou, and took Wu Xiangzhen, the commander of the thirty-nine mixed brigade of Yuan's brigade, as the garrison of Yuezhou. In this way, Hunan is completely under Yuan's control. And Yuezhou, which is very close to Wuchang, has become a sharp knife inserted in Li Xiang's heart!

Li wants to fight with Yuan Shikai in the Northern Expedition. The backyard must be settled down, otherwise someone will barrel his knife in the back, and he will die quickly.

If he doesn't deal with Hunan or even Guizhou and Sichuan, he can't raise his mind to ask Yuan for a day. While the white wolf in Henan can still hold on for a period of time, let's settle down these three provinces first.

Revolution, if you don't shake your arms casually, you will definitely follow.

When Tan Renfeng came in, Li Xiang was standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back.

"Li Shuai?" Tan Renfeng said something outside the door.

"Sir is here, please come in." Li wanted to see Tan Renfeng come in and pour tea in person. "Please sit down."

Tan Renfeng sat down, looked at the map, and smiled and said, "When you raise your army, are you worried about the capriciousness of Hunan?"

Li Xiang nodded and said, "It is extremely necessary to fight for Tan Yanqi to stand on our side against the Yuan Revolution. Please take this work seriously."

Tan Renfeng took the tea to his mouth, put it down, and said with a wry smile, "This time, Hunan's independence was cancelled. The Beiyang Army entered Hunan from Jiangxi, which was a great blow to the revolution in Hunan. A large number of revolutionaries were deported to Shanghai and exiled abroad."

Li wanted to whisper his lips. It was all the reformists who ran away, and the revisionists all lurked down and waited for the opportunity to move. The stumbling block of the Reform School is the time for him to show his strength.

Li Xiang said confidently, "Because I really don't have any friendship with Tan Yankai, I just want to entrust my husband to give me a message to Tan Yankai and convey my expectations for Tan Yankai to take the road of peace."

"That's it?"

"Of course, I earnestly expect Tan Yanqi to have a deep understanding of righteousness, make a firm decision, and resolutely launch an uprising."

"What's the matter? I can write a letter now." Tan Renfeng felt that Marshal Li was a little whimsful.

"Please also tell Tan Yanmin that I am not responsible for the past and will never pursue his cancellation of independence and the killing of revolutionaries in Hunan. As long as he stands over, I have to reuse him.

Li thought for a moment and said, "On that day, Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen ran away. He canceled his independence. This is a matter of course, and we will understand. But now, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang army has committed a lot of bloody debts in Nanjing and Nanchang. It is no different from the cruelty of Yangzhou for ten days. The people's hearts have turned against each other. The Beiyang army has been trapped in the quagmire of the people's wars in Jiangxi and Henan, and Yuan Shikai has been jumping for a long time. Let him think about it."

After Li Xiang's analysis, Tan Renfeng's mind came to life again.

"I will convey it truthfully."

"In order to strive for Tan Yanmin to get closer to the people and seek the peaceful independence of Hunan, I have set up a special working group. How about direct leadership by Mr.?"

"It is incumbent on you." Tan Renfeng shakes his spirit.

"If possible, you should establish a radio contact with Tan Yanqi." Li wants to teach Jiyi: "As long as Tan Yankai is determined to oppose Yuan and arranges to cut off the retreat of the Beiyang army stationed in Yuezhou, on the surface, he advocates cooperation with the Beiyang army, and it is understandable to paralyze Yuan Shikai..."

......

On the platform of Changsha East Railway Station, the scorching sun is in the sky.

Today is the day when Wu Zhenxiang, the commander of the 39th Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Third Division, was stationed in Changsha. Cao Kun, the commander of the Third Division of the Beiyang Army, stayed in Yuezhou to choke Hunan.

Wu Zhenxiang's special car arrived at Changsha Railway Station, where leading figures from all walks of life in Hunan welcomed him.

Tan Yankai, who stood at the top of the welcome team, knew that the entry of the Beiyang Army in Changsha was the first step for Yuan Shikai to seize his power, and he had to carefully consider his future again.

Hubei District has sent people to hint at him more than once, and the first victory of Yuan Jun's anti-encirclement on the battlefield of Jiangxi also touched Tan Yanqi a lot.

After the Beiyang Army's "god", Tan Yanqi dressed up and went to a private banquet.

It was arranged by Tan Renfeng. Zhao Hengti, the division commander of the Hunan Army, who was highly valued by Tan Yanqi, held a family banquet at his home in Taozi Lake. The banquet was attended by Mr. Wang Yun, a well-known great Confucian in Hunan, Yang Fan, the head of the Hunan underground organization of the Kuomintang Correction School, Tan Renfeng's close to Zhang Qiqi, the patrol leader of Jiaonan Road, Huang Dai, Huang Zhonghao's old department, and others. .

During the banquet, the guests discussed the current situation and mostly believed that the Beiyang army was ferocious and Hunan should be independent. He opposed Yuan Shikai's tyranny and expelled the brutal Beiyang army into Hunan.

Yang Fan said bluntly: "Mr. Tan should think about the 30 million people of Hunan. Everyone knows the brutality of the Beiyang Army. If the Beiyang Army is not driven away, Hunan will not be at peace!"

Tan Yanqi doesn't take the stubble. Now that the Beiyang army has entered Hunan, he can't have the courage.

Zhang Qiqi's eyes approached Tan Yanqi with a faint shining light, with a cold smile on the corners of his mouth.

Tan Yanqi trembled with his terrible look. He looked at Zhang Qiqi in shock and said, "Brother... Are you--?"

Zhang Qiqi stared at Tan Yanqi for a long time. He smiled and said, "Brother, you can't see the situation clearly!" If you don't agree to oppose Yuan today, I think Marshal Li will wipe out you and Cao San's fools first while the Beiyang army can't escape the "suppression of bandits" in Jiangxi and Henan. Can you fight with Li Dashuai? Run, your family of more than 20 people will be wandering in the future. Besides, Yuan Shikai can't tolerate you. Look at the posture of the Beiyang army entering the city today. Where are you going? Now, the only way out is to get out of Li Shuai.

The muscles under the corners of Tan Yanqi's eyes bulge slightly, and Zhang Qiqi's words had a great impact on Tan Yanqi.

Tan Yanqi returned to the governor's office, thought for an hour, and suddenly shouted, "Tan Er!"

Listening to Tan Yanqi's summons, Tan Er agreed, "Yes!"

"Gresome something to eat!" Tan Yankai didn't raise his head. He unfolded a letter from Bai Ling. He put the pen in his hand and wiped the ink. He wanted to personally draft this memo to Li Xiangcheng.

"Oh, don't bother, just get some fruit."

"Yes!" Tan San agreed and went out.

A short time later, I picked up a small blue and white porcelain plate with pears, apples, longan and roses, golden oranges, four kinds of dried fruits. Purple, red, yellow and white are very beautiful.

Tan Yanqi looked at it and said, "Let it go. You go down."

He pondered for a moment and wrote:

[From the participation of the League to the Kuomintang, Yan has been engaged in the revolution for more than two years, and has always served the righteousness of the three people. At the beginning of the Second Revolution, he resolutely opposed the dictatorship of the Yuan system. After the abolition of independence, he stood in the position of the people's interests, resolutely opposed Beiyang, and strongly opposed democracy and republicanism. Only with its own strength, it is still weak, and it is even more difficult to let go of the measures. For several months, we have been working hard to cope with the environment. In fact, we have done everything to combat reactionary forces and relieve the suffering of the people. For example, the rent reduction on February 5th, the suspension of the recruitment of grain, and the cessation of the use of gold yuan coupons from the beginning of this province. As for the secret guarantee of the activities of revolutionaries, it is quite open to public opinion and the mass movement, all of which are involved in the military of the reactionary forces. The economic blow is the most serious. And Yan Kui also believes that he is under pressure. Fortunately, it has won the unanimous and warm support of the people of the whole province. Although the reactionaries obstructed and threatened by many parties, they could not waver.

This paragraph is so well-written that it almost reaches the situation of "revolutionary radicals". For the cancellation of independence, he only used the stroke of "his own strength is still weak, and it is difficult to reveal the proposition, and it is more difficult to let go of the measures". The main reason is that he endures humiliation and burdens in Hunan is to protect more revolutionaries!

At this point, Tan Yankui felt that his style of riding the wall school led the wolf into the room. I'm afraid it doesn't make sense, so he then wrote:

[This time, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang army entered Xiangjing. Cao Kun was extremely ill with all the peaceful measures in the province, so he did not hesitate to overjudge his power and reorganized the provincial government. His attitude was violent, and the consequences would inevitably be contrary to the past measures of the province, which would completely violate the interests of the people, causing public indignation among the people in the province and forcing Cao Yi to give up his original plan. This is the most obvious example of the people's active support for progressive measures.

The military and political institutions in this province are now arranged by Yuan, and the military and political cadres are more of the egg-winged figures over the years, and the feudal color of the province is also quite strong. Since Cao Jun entered Hunan, he has been cultivating a revolutionary environment. Once planned to transfer, it is not easy. Zeng thought carefully and believed that it was impossible to adjust the personnel and improve the organization under the constraints of Yuan and the oppression of Cao Jun. If you act rashly, it is bound to cause a storm. It is by no means what Yan can resist. It is necessary to work hard to directly benefit the people, so as to transfer the atmosphere and use the people's consciousness to create strength. On the contrary, it will affect political cadres for several months. It has indeed been slightly effective. At present, there is no way to suppress the trend of salty feeling. Yan Kui is particularly unremitting about the subtle transformation of military and political cadres. Except for a few extremely stubborn elements who are still in a desperate situation, most of them follow the revolution without being hindered. Theorists may accuse the military and political institutions of the province of being weak and incompetent, which is the fact beyond reputable. However, with the past environment of the province, if it has a sound organization and personnel, there will be no two states: one is the tool of the Yuan system, and the other is the feudal unity. Both of which are counter-revolutionary camps. If it is strong, the strength will be greater or at a loss. Fortunately, he is weak and incompetent, but he has to take advantage of the gap to strengthen the people's strength. Where Yan has taken measures, he has received close contact and direct sponsorship from the public. Except for a small number of key personnel involved, military and political institutions have become more and more prominent in the past month or two, which proves that the power of progress is increasingly strong. Over the past few days, I have been in constant contact with you, which is very harmonious, but I am threatened by the environment, and everything is contrary to my expectations. As for maintaining public order, communicating people's feelings and understanding, and obtaining today's situation, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your assistance. Not only entrusted by the people of the province, but also when the beacon is approaching the province, how to avoid the scourge of war, how to reduce the suffering of the people, and how to maintain the vitality of the province is the only priority at present.

〗

The rest is easy to do. Tan Yanqi took a breath, gritted his teeth and wrote:

[Aiben has a consistent attitude of anti-Yuan, anti-Beiyang, and anti-fake republican. Yan has decided to seek local peace in Hunan and specific measures in accordance with the principles of the eight articles and 24 paragraphs of the peace talks announced by you. It is very hoped that the two sides will appoint military representatives to immediately set up a military group so that they can negotiate in detail and cooperate closely with the action. In terms of the current military situation in the province, most of the troops stationed in the province, except for the Northern Army, can be effectively mastered. A detailed table is attached for reference. Most of the troops that can be controlled have been concentrated near Changsha, while the Northern Army is mostly stationed in Yuezhou (only about one brigade is stationed in Changsha). Although the number of troops in the province is no less than that of the Northern Army, its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Northern Army. We have to try our best to be perfunctory. As soon as the time is ripe, Yan Kai immediately revealed his proposition, officially telegraphed the whole country, and called on the military and civilians inside and outside the province to unanimously support peace based on the eight articles and 24 paragraphs, and attack the forces of Yuan Cao's Northern Army. Before Yan Min reveals the claim, how to cooperate with the action is fully decided by the military team. After the announcement is made, it seems that it is necessary to set up a joint command organ in the short term. First, it is to reorganize the existing force in the province, and the other is to cooperate with you as a further military action, all of which can be implemented by the joint command agency. There are many military numbers in this province, and the content is not true and the command is not unified, which is all Yuan's messy style. It cannot be adjusted before the proposition is revealed in this province. Once the proposition is revealed, it is expected that you will completely reorganize it. However, in the past few months, the treatment of officers and soldiers has been extremely poor, and they can still help maintain social order, and there are many smart people among the cadres who secretly support Yan Kui's idea. If you can eliminate the weak and keep the strong and focus on education, the indigenous people will be related to the local appeasement work in the future, and even sweeping the southwest, and they can still serve one or two.

In addition, the province's ideology is backward, and it is difficult to return due to the situation, which is also deceived by many parties and induces by many parties, resulting in a difficult situation. With the approach of your army, or more confusion, it has been directly and indirectly explained and comforted by Yan Kai. Except for a very small number of stubborn elements or have fled, most of them understand your magnanimous style and can still calm down. I hope that on the day of your army's arrival, it will be more de facto proof, and the people of the whole province will be very lucky.

Tan Yanqi's book has been written so far, "This is also related to Yan's responsibilities, consider what you can think about, and combine it for reference." The end.

After writing, I read it carefully again. I felt that although the literary talent was insufficient, the meaning was clear, so I had no intention to change it carefully. So I picked up an apple and ate it while thinking about it.
