Since the return of the southbound detachment of Hei Province, Yuan Shikai trusted Wang Maoru again, but he couldn't stop the military emergency, and he wanted Wang Maoru to send troops again, but he couldn't save face.

After March, the deployment of the Beiyang Army in the south suddenly plummeted, and Yuan Shikai's army fought several defeats in Hunan, and he hurriedly ordered other armies in the four eastern provinces to move south, but the small warlords everywhere did not move. I had no choice but to ask the Hulunbuir envoy if he was willing to lead his troops south, Wang Maoru said that he was willing to send troops again, and this time he sent his cavalry brigade, that is, the fifth brigade of the Heilongjiang cavalry. Led by Gong Xiaoqi, commander of the cavalry brigade, and Guo Songling served as the staff officer of the cavalry brigade, they set off from Arshan and went south across the Horqin territory. This cavalry brigade is different from the infantry brigade, the infantry brigade can take the train, but the cavalry brigade has more than 3,000 people and more than 3,000 horses, and there is no way to take the train, so it can only go south slowly.

Yuan Shikai was helpless when he saw this, this horse rode from Hulunbuir to Hunan, when did it take him, he wanted him to guard the border with peace of mind, and he didn't need to send troops. Wang Maoru is also happy to develop the economy and people's livelihood in Hulunbuir, if he goes south, just talk, this time he won't really go, it's about to start spring, it's a good time to fight, what if Xu Lanzhou seizes the opportunity to swallow Hulunbuir? Can he still cry like a child and ask Yuan Shikai to come back, this Hulunbuir has poured almost all of his financial and material resources.

At this time, Zhang Zuolin seized the opportunity and expressed his willingness to lead the army south, so he led the 27th Division of the Army to go out to protect **. Yuan Shikai still had to keep part of the troops in Mukden to defend against the Japanese, and part of it to guard against the rebellion of the clan, and the four eastern provinces could go out except for Wang Maoru's black army was Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division. Besides, in the last battle to exterminate the White Wolf Bandit Army, the 27th Division went to Hunan, and it was logical to send Zhang Zuolin this time.

Yuan Shikai promoted Zhang Zuolin to General Shengwu. However, Heilongjiang and Jilin were no longer controlled, and Wang Maoru was promoted to the rank of general of Beiyang. Temperate Hulunbuir and Xibutha civil and military officials to express their appeasement to Wang Maoru.

Cai Yi designed to defeat the 16th Mixed Brigade of the Elite Third Division of the Beiyang Army in Sichuan, and the brigade commander Feng Yuxiang led the army to Chengdu to stop the decline. Li Liejun invaded Hunan at this time, and Guangxi Lu Rongting also led the Guangxi New Army to expel Long Jiguang, who respected Yuan Shikai, and drove Long Jiguang to the sparsely populated Hainan Island to become the emperor of the soil. Subsequently, Cai Yi defeated Wu Xiangzhen's division of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, and Chen Yan, the overseer of Sichuan, was furious and ordered Feng Yuxiang and Wu Xiangzhen to counterattack.

And externally. On behalf of the Japanese Government, Japanese Minister Nippon Zhiyi submitted a diplomatic opinion to Yuan Shikai. He said: "According to the instructions of the national government, because of the spread of civil unrest in China, the Beijing government has no ability to quell the unrest. In terms of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou, it is also to maintain the republic, and it must not be regarded as a chaotic party. The Government has now recognized itself as a belligerent group. Not long after, ministers from Britain, France, Russia, and the United States went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask Yuan Shikai to cancel the imperial system. When Yuan Shikai was overwhelmed by the pressure from various countries, he suddenly received a letter urging him, which turned out to be Feng Guozhang, the overseer of Jiangsu, and Jin Yunpeng, the overseer of Shandong. Li Chun, the overseer of Jiangxi, Zhu Rui, the overseer of Zhejiang, and Zhang Xun, the general of Xuzhou, telegraphed Yuan Shikai to cancel the imperial system as soon as possible. These five people were the henchmen of the Beiyang Army who followed Yuan Shikai, and now these five people were telegraphed to oppose it, which made Yuan Shikai suddenly shocked and angry, and finally fell ill in bed because of uremia. Rescued by German doctors. Although Yuan Shikai was not life-threatening, he had to undergo daily painful treatment.

The tough Yuan Shikai was knocked down by the disease.

The leader of the Beiyang Overseers who took the lead in resisting Yuan Shikai's imperial system was Feng Guozhang, the Beiyang dog in the Beiyang Three Masters, this Jiangsu Overseer was a local powerful faction, and his subordinates were all elites of the Beiyang Army, and his public opposition caused Yuan Shikai to panic. Yuan Shikai overestimated his influence so much that he believed that as long as he ascended to the top, everyone would support him. Which Cheng thought that Feng Guozhang and other Beiyang overseers openly opposed it. The three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi were independent, and Yuan Shikai was not afraid, he knew that the military strength of these three provinces was not much, but they were just flies and dogs in the frontier, which was not enough to pose a major disaster. But this Feng Guozhang telegraphed to ask for his own life, and before long, several overseers also expressed their support. Wang Maoru took the opportunity to rectify the army and threatened to support Yuan Shikai, at this time, Yuan Shikai was also ready to mobilize the army, but found that in addition to one Ni Sichong, he had only one Wang Maoru, more than 10,000 people in Anhui Governor Ni Sichong, and more than 10,000 Wang Maoru (on the surface, the number of registered people in the Beiyang War Department was 15,000), how could these two people fight against the Beiyang bosses.

The more Yuan Shikai thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more dangerous his body became. It was just uremia, but it got worse and worse, so much so that I couldn't work. Many people came to force Yuan Shikai to revoke the imperial system, and the people of the Yuan family were also stupid at this time, I don't know what to do, Yuan Keding ran to the Ministry of Communications to ask Liang Shiyi in a panic, these two people Yuan Shikai was still beautiful, but Yuan Shikai fell, and the two of them had no ability. Liang Shiyi is only a person in charge of money, and Yuan Keding only serves as an honorary advisor to the model army, and he can't suppress the overseers in Beiyang who have heavy troops at all. The two had no choice but to invite Xu Shichang to come out to adjust, and Yuan Shikai was indeed too sick, and before long, Xu Shichang invited Duan Qirui to come and discuss the abolition of the imperial system. Yuan Shikai sighed on the hospital bed, and reluctantly signed an abdication agreement.

Yuan Shikai was forced to abolish the imperial system on March 22, 1916 under internal and external pressure, and abolished the "Hongxian Year", but according to the North-South Agreement, Yuan Shikai was still the president, but the president was in poor health and could no longer handle official documents.

In the end, the imperial system was abolished, and the Republic of China finally did not need to be called the Chinese Empire, and the name of the Republic of China was restored, and the plan was to recover the 30 million Hongxian public bonds issued in order to claim the emperor, but it was found that the government had no money, and it was worth changing the Hongxian public bonds to five-year public bonds. Isn't this a joke, Hong Xian has a public debt of 30 million, where do you want to come back, and who do you want to come back? Although the Japanese bought the bulk of the public bonds, the small people frantically sold the public bonds, almost causing an economic crisis. The Beiyang government telegraphed to the provincial officials that they should no longer be called the emperor. Secretary of State Lu Zhengxiang was dismissed from his part-time position, Xu Shichang was appointed Secretary of State, and Duan Qirui was appointed Chief of Staff to quell the rebellion in the south.

After the abolition of the imperial system, the south fought for power, and the north was also unstable.

Wang Maoru mentally calculated the time, and after hearing that Yuan Shikai had uremia at this time, and had no choice but to abdicate, he first made up a whimper, and threatened to crusade against Feng Guozhang, but he transferred the cavalry brigade of the Heilongjiang Expeditionary Force back, and instead of returning to Hulun City, he was stationed in Zhalantun, and was stationed together with Li Pinxian's Heilongjiang Fifth Infantry Brigade and Li Delin's Heilongjiang Third Infantry Brigade. Subsequently, Wang Maoru led the artillery brigade, the guard brigade and the headquarters staff office to Zhalantun, saying that he was ready to lead troops into the customs at any time to support Yuan Shikai and be ready to crusade against the rebels.

This name seems to be very legitimate, Wang Maoru is like Yuan Shikai's lackey, people are ready to crusade against the traitor with the master, and it sounds like he is actually going to crusade against Feng Guozhang, which makes the military bigwigs in the four eastern provinces laugh off their big teeth. Didn't you Wang Mao just beat Bai Lang, beat the Mongolian rebels, and clashed with the Ji army and won a small victory, why did you still go crazy and actually want to fight Feng Guozhang?

Who is Feng Guozhang?

That is one of the three heroes of Beiyang, and now the pillar of the Beiyang warlords. Feng Guozhang is the descendant of Feng Sheng, the founder of the Ming Dynasty (plus a sentence, the great-grandfather of the cross talk master Feng Gong), graduated from the Beiyang Military Academy, once served as the chief of staff for Nie Shicheng, and then guarded the customs, making great contributions to preventing Tsarist Russia and Japanese forces from entering the Central Plains. As one of the three heroes under Yuan Shikai, he personally trained countless non-commissioned officers and generals for the Beiyang Army. The Qing court asked him to go south to suppress the Wuchang uprising, and Feng Guozhang arrived in Hubei with a large army and did not move, so that the Qing court was forced to use Yuan Shikai. It can be said that Yuan Shikaicheng is also Feng Guozhang, but defeat is also Feng Guozhang. If Feng Guozhang hadn't taken the lead in electrifying, who would have dared to oppose Yuan Shikai among the warlords in Beiyang? Even that period of Qirui had to resign and return to his hometown to recuperate, in the name of avoiding trouble.

A hair on Feng Guozhang's body is thicker than your Wang Maoru's thighs, but if Wang Maoru really fights with Feng Guozhang, it will look good. There is a saying that those who watch the excitement are not afraid of things, so they all wait to see the excitement, so they have expressed their support for Wang Maoru's move, saying that if Wang Maoru goes out of the customs, they will definitely give full support, so that the army outside the customs can also see the strength of our Northeast army. Wang Maoru naturally knew that they were sneering at him on the surface, but he sneered, are you really stupid? Lao Tzu worked hard and made such a big move, and gathered 20,000 troops here (Zhalantun), not to fight Feng Guozhang, but to conquer the entire Heilongjiang.

At this time, in the Heilongjiang Army Headquarters, Xu Lanzhou frowned and practiced hard, surrounded by his subordinates, including Chief of Staff Li Jinglin, Wu Shu Chief Instructor Xi Li Shuwen, his henchmen trusted Zhang Fugui, head of the Independent Regiment, and Chen Fugui, commander of the First Infantry Brigade, Ren Guodong, commander of the Second Infantry Brigade, Xu Jiafu, the eldest son staff officer, Xu Jialu, the second son guard battalion commander, Zhang Baowu, the captain of the broadsword, Huo Diange, a martial arts instructor, Hu Yunshan, the commander of the cavalry battalion, and Ou Chenglin, the commander of the artillery regiment. Xu Lanzhou's officers have a characteristic, that is, they are all strong in martial arts, and Xu Lanzhou himself is also extraordinary in martial arts, so his subordinates will not be reused if they don't have some martial arts. It also caused Xu Lanzhou's men to fight, even the bayonets, all of them were top, but they couldn't shoot and fire. In addition to the characteristics of bravery, Xu Lanzhou's army also has a characteristic of poor military discipline, and the reason for the poor military discipline is that he has little money, how can Wang Maoru be so rich.

Originally, there were only more than 10,000 people in the Heilongjiang Army Division, but after Wang Maoru came, Xu Lanzhou had to expand the number of men and horses to 14,000 in order to deal with it, and the cost was more. The army is also equipped with a lot of long spears, big knives, and cold weapons to meet the needs of weapons. Even Xu Lanzhou's guards broadsword team, it is simply a gathering of martial arts heroes of the Republic of China, what swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, sticks, mallets, whips, hammers, abductors, meteors, what pointed, thorny, edged, bladed, velvet rope, chained, inverted tooth hook, with Emei thorn. Xu Lanzhou entrusted this broadsword team with a heavy responsibility and undertook the guard work, which shows Xu Lanzhou's love for martial arts...... It's just that he is not a martial arts master, but a soldier, and a general with heavy troops.
