"Yes, I'm going to transfer someone to the United States!"

After listening to Heng Shuai's instructions, Yu Lei responded without even thinking about it: "I sent Yu Yun to the United States." ”

"Yu Yun?" Wang Hengyue was stunned for a moment: "She's still a little girl"

"She's not small anymore." Yu Lei said indifferently: "After the training in the past few years, her ability is enough, and it is time to make greater contributions to Hengshuai." ”

Wang Hengyue breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to encourage a few words, but he didn't know where to start.

What's more, Yu Lei doesn't need encouragement, and any encouragement is fake for him

On May 18, 1917, the English Beijing Daily in Yanjing revealed the secret news of the ordnance loan of the Chinese People's Republic of China. Originally, it was decided to lend 10,000 yuan to China in exchange for hiring technicians and management personnel to preside over the Chinese fire industry and hiring military attachés to train the Chinese army in battle. In early May, he sent Deputy Chief of Staff Tanaka to China under the pretext of inspecting the situation along the Jiaoji Road, but in fact it was for the purpose of inspecting the Chinese arsenal and making further contact with Duan. When this news came out, it caused a shock among the people of the whole country and dealt another heavy blow to the crumbling Duan cabinet.

And the Overseer army in Yanjing acted recklessly, advocating a declaration of war on Germany for a while, and favoring the siege of the parliament for a while, without taking Li Yuanhong into account at all.

At this time, when Premier Duan Qirui used the Overseer Army to pressure the Congress to accept the declaration of war against Germany, Sun Wen, together with Zhang Taiyan, Cen Chunxuan, and Tang Shaoyi, sent a joint letter to Duan Qirui and the Senate and the House of Representatives, demanding that they abide by the law and respect the Congress.

After the second time, Li Yuanhong made a desperate gamble and dismissed Duan Qirui. After Duan Qirui was dismissed by his successor President Li Yuanhong, he instigated the Beiyang Overseers to defect and coerce Li Yuanhong to dissolve the National Assembly by force.

On May 29, the eight provinces announced their dissociation from the political axe!

At the same time, Wang Hengyue, the governor of Sichuan Province and the Sichuan Provincial Governor of Sichuan Province, sent a telegram to the whole country: resolutely oppose military interference in government affairs and resolutely oppose the dissolution of the National Assembly.

On the 30th, Wang Hengyue announced [***] and called for the protection of the law!

At the beginning, Wang Hengyue became the overseer of Sichuan, and now he has shouted the slogan of "protecting the law", God knows what he is going to do again.

After Wang Hengyue announced [***], the six southwestern provinces followed suit. On May 30, Hunan Governor Tan Yanmin sent a telegram advocating mediation, and Jiang Guidi, a veteran of the Huai Army, echoed the issue and suggested inviting Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun, and Tan Yanmin to Yanjing to jointly organize a "mediation meeting" with Wang Shizhen.

Sun Wen opposed mediation and telegraphed the six southwestern provinces to rejuvenate the rebellion. Cheng Bi, the commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Navy, persuaded the provinces to cancel the reading power, and showed that the navy always guaranteed the attitude of the republican. Li Liejun went from Shanghai to Guangzhou, and planned to lead the Northern Expedition of the two divisions of the Guangdong and Yunnan Army, Zhang Kairu and Fang Shengtao.

Chen Bingkun, the overseer of Guangdong, Tan Haoming, and Li Liejun, the overseers of Guangxi, jointly issued a telegram to initiate an alliance of the six provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, Guangdong, and Guangxi, and suggested that Lu Rongting be elected as the leader of the alliance. Tang Jiyao sent a telegram to the southwestern provinces, suggesting that a temporary political axe be organized in Guangzhou, with Dai Li as the president.

However, in fact, there are many contradictions within the six southwestern provinces, with the Sichuan side having a conflict between the Sichuan and Yunnan armies, and the Guangdong side having a secret battle between the Yunnan and Guizhou armies. These warlords, big and small, had no intention of sending troops to the Northern Expedition.

"Sun Wen sent another telegram, asking our Sichuan army to send troops to the Northern Expedition." Wang Qinglu, who hurried back to Sichuan, handed over the telegram to Wang Hengyue.

Wang Hengyue didn't even look at it: "Send troops to the Northern Expedition?" Do you want me to give him the Overseer's position? ”

Wang Qinglu smiled.

"Power up!" Wang Hengyue's face was straight: "I, Sichuan, accept the suggestions of Chen Bingkun, the overseer of Guangdong, and Tan Haoming, the overseer of Guangxi, and support Lu Rongting, the leader of the six southwestern provinces!" Sichuan Protector and Support"

Speaking of this, Wang Hengyue himself laughed.

Which word is the law of this self-protecting!

"This, Tang Jiyao, the overseer of Yunnan, wants to organize a temporary political axe for the Guangzhou Revolution, I am resolutely opposed to it in Sichuan, and the president is still in Yanjing, although this is a reading force, in fact, it has to be done in order to protect the law." Wang Hengyue thought for a while: "You can send electricity to Lu Rongting"

"Yes!"

Wang Hengyue sorted out his military uniform: "Let me set [***] all departments, prepare the whole army, and unify the three southwestern provinces by force!" ”

"Yes!"

"The patrol envoy, Wang Hengyue, the overseer of Sichuan, called and supported the patrol envoy as the leader of the six southwest provinces!"

Lu Rongting, who was reading the book there, heard the news, put the book to the side, took the telegram and read it hastily, and patted the telegram: "The big thing has happened!" ”

"Patrol envoy, 20,000 people of our Gui army have been assembled on the front line of Yunnan and Guizhou, as long as the patrol envoy gives an order, he can send troops to solve the Yunnan problem!"

"Where is Wang Hengyue?"

"Wang Hengyue's Ding [***] also began to move in the direction of Guizhou!"

"Good!" Lu Rongting shouted again: "You have to do it earlier than Wang Hengyue!" ”

"Yes!"

On June 1, Li Yuanhong summoned Zhang Xun to Beijing to discuss the state of affairs. On the 7th, Zhang Xun led the pigtail army from Xuzhou to the north into Beijing. On the 12th, Li Yuanhong was forced to dissolve the Senate and the House of Representatives.

On the 16th, Zhang Xun wore a red-topped flower feather on his head, and together with the four commanders of the Dingwu Army, he took a car to Shenwu Gate, and transferred to the Qing Palace. Zhang Xun knelt down and bowed, claiming to be a servant and bowing to the Holy Ann. Pu Yi gave him a seat, rewarded him with riding a horse in the Forbidden City, and the four imperial concubines also came to the Heart Cultivation Hall to talk to him. Pu Yi gave a banquet and rewarded many pieces of ancient magnets and famous paintings. Then he went to Dongjiaomin Lane to visit the ministers of various countries, and said that Minister Benlin set up a banquet to entertain them.

The day Zhang Xun arrived in Yanjing was also the day when his eight-sided majesty developed to the highest peak.

From this day on, his prestige began to gradually decline. According to the decision of the Xuzhou Conference, all issues concerning the country's overall plans should be handled by the leaders of the Great Alliance, and the relevant provinces would be notified by telegram afterwards. After Zhang Xun arrived in Yanjing, he gave orders to the relevant provinces in the capacity of the leader of the alliance. But that's where the problem comes in. In the past, when Yuan Shikai or Duan Qirui were in power, they regarded the warlords of the provinces as the pride of the sky, and they had to discuss with them in case of trouble, and it would not work if they did not discuss, so they cultivated the warlords of the provinces and all the provinces.

Yuan and Duan were both leaders of the Beiyang faction, and if they were so accommodating, Zhang Xun could set himself above the warlords of the provinces and give orders to them; There are Duan factions and Feng factions in the Overseer Army, and there are no people who are really willing to act as Zhang Xun's slaves. When the Overseer Army attacked Li, a person had to be pushed out to come forward, and Zhang Xun had to be in the limelight, and now Li's resistance no longer exists, and this big alliance leader has to act alone, how can everyone tolerate it?

On June 28, among the third-class passengers of the train from Tianjin to Yanjing, an old farmer with a strange appearance came, got off the train at Yanjing Station, covered his face with a big pu fan, and hurriedly walked out of the station.

This old farmer is none other than Kang Youwei, the well-known leader of the Restorationists and leader of the Royalist Party.

At around 2 a.m. on July 1, a farce finally came on to the sound of gongs and drums!

In the morning, the police suddenly asked each household to hang the dragon flag, and the residents had no choice but to use papier-mâché flags to deal with it; Then, Qing Dynasty robes that had not been seen for several years appeared on the street, and one by one the figures seemed to run out of the coffin; The newspaper hall published the news of the restoration, and the price was more expensive than the newspaper.

Zhang Xun, Kang Youwei, Qu Hongzhen and dozens of others played a chorus, asking Emperor Puyi of the Qing Dynasty to restore!

After the restoration was announced, the five-color flag was changed to the Yellow Dragon Flag. The official system is still the same as the official system of the first year of Xuantong. That is, it is said that the above edict sealed Li Yuanhong as a first-class duke. Zhang Xun, Wang Shizhen, Chen Baochen, Liang Dunyan, Yuan Dahua, and Zhang Zhenfang were appointed as cabinet ministers. Wan Shenyan and Hu Siyu are cabinet ministers, Liang Dunyan is the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhang Zhenfangdu branch is the secretary, Zhu Jiabao is the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Lei Zhenchun is the secretary of the War Department, Wang Shizhen is the minister of staff, Xu Shichang is the president of the Bide Academy, and Kang Youwei is the vice president.

He also appointed Zhang Xun as the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, and stayed in Beijing to do business. Feng Guozhang, Governor of Liangjiang, Minister of Nanyang, Lu Rongting, Governor of Liangguang

As for Wang Hengyue, the overseer of Sichuan, the Manchu Qing Dynasty certainly did not forget:

Wang Hengyue was appointed governor of Sichuan

"Hahaha!" Wang Hengyue laughed: "Do you say that the Overseer listens to the majesty, or the Governor listens to the majesty?" ”

Wang Qinglu also smiled on the side: "The president listens to the most majestic. ”

"No nonsense." Wang Hengyue scolded with a smile: "I don't want to be the president, but let me call myself a 'slave' in the Manchu Dynasty, then I will be sad if you kill me!" Order, all parts of my Sichuan have raised the five-color flag of the Republic of China! ”

"Yes, Sichuan has raised the five-color flag of the Republic of China!"

"Power up the whole country!" Wang Hengyue's face sank:

"Natural disaster China, chaos seeking, Zhang Xun ambition, fake mediation of the current situation as the name, obstruction of the army in Beijing, to July 1, then there is a strange change to overthrow the national system of more than 20 emperors in the history of the end of the emperor, its good has not been able to catch the former Qing also. Today, Zhang Xun and others have blatantly committed a big disapproval with their personal rights, and they want to imitate Reckless and Zhuo, and blackmail the young master to control the world

Wang Hengyue, the overseer of Sichuan, lived in the southwest, and did not dare to participate in major state affairs, but at the beginning of the creation of Xinhai, he had already served the Republic of China, and could not sit idly by and watch the subversion and division of the Republic of China without help. Where the love lies, keep it to the death. China has changed dramatically, and righteous indignation hides its head. For the sake of the country, Wang Hengyue is not talented, and he is willing to do his best to fight against the army and people of Sichuan, crusade against Zhang Wei, defend the republic, and never give up!

Sichuan overseer Wang Hengyue, the sixth year of the Republic of China, Geng Dong! ”
