Volume 2 (Finale) Chapter 223 Yuan Shikai's Death

Gao Jianou jumped over, he knew that Wen Shang was mad with anger, Wen Wen Shang punched over, Gao Jianou dodged and kicked his chin from the bottom up, this kick immediately kicked Wen Shang to the ground, only to hear a bang, Gao Jianou pressed Wen Shang's two arms, and shouted: "Monk, it's me, be sober." Wen Shang was just about to exert his strength again, but suddenly saw that it was Gao Jianou, sobered up for a moment, and listened to Gao Jianou again: "Okay, calm down, don't kill people, you won." ”

"Boss, he's a thief." Wen Shang said angrily.

Gao Jianou pulled him up and said, "Let him be despicable, and he will not suffer the consequences." After the Russian ** officer's arm was broken, he held the broken arm in his left hand and howled, his assistants quickly took him out of the barracks, and at the same time carried away the Russian Hercules who fell into a coma, Wen Shang spat at the mouth, and said: "Thief, next time I see him, I must kill him." ”

"Good!" Li Jinglin's military camp resounded with applause, and many people surrounded the three of them, shouting: "Righteous man, righteous man, hero of China." ”

Li Jinglin also hurriedly walked over, the love in his eyes was self-evident, and he shouted: "I am really the hero of the country, and the important weapon of the country." ”

Gao Jianou didn't smile or be proud, and said lightly: "General Li." ”

"May I ask your Excellency ......?"

"We are Wang Maoru's small soldiers under Wang Dashuai."

In a word, Li Jinglin's original intention to recruit was gone, and the scene was cold, and he dared to be kind, and people sent people to meet him, not only to fight. And also defeated the Russians who ruined themselves and lost face. Li Jinglin couldn't help sighing, this Wang Maoru has so many talents. He smiled bitterly: "Even if it's an opponent." It is also a long face for the Chinese people. ”

Gao Jianou, Wen Wenshang, and Sanniangzi arched their hands, bid farewell to Li Jinglin, and walked out of the camp in a dashing manner, leaving a silent Xu Lanzhou soldier, and this morale suddenly fell.

The adjutant ran over, wiped a cold sweat, and said, "Chief of Staff, you are so stupid to look at three people, if they agree to be the captain of the brigade." Then there was a riot when there was a war. Aren't we suffering a big loss? ”

Li Jinglin scolded: "Bastard! ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"If he, Wang Maoru, wins above board, how can he use such a despicable trick?" Li Jinglin sighed and said, "It's a pity." Sad, respectable. Zhi Shuai is the enemy of it, which is not only Zhi Shuai's luck, but also Zhi Shuai's misfortune. ”

Yuan Shikai, who abdicated under internal and external pressure, appointed Xu Shichang as the secretary of state to form a cabinet while on his sickbed, and Xu Shichang drafted the cabinet members, including Army Chief Cai Yi, Minister of Internal Affairs Dai Jian, and agricultural businessman Zhang Qian. Education Tang Hualong, Justice Liang Qichao, Finance Xiong Xiling, Wu Tingfang, Tang Shaoyi, Fan Yuanlian. Cai Yuanpei, Wang Zhengting, and Wang Chonghui formed a cabinet, but unexpectedly, these celebrities refused to accept it, and asked Yuan Shikai to no longer serve as the president of the Republic of China. Secretary of State Xu Shichang was pressured by China and foreign countries to tell Yuan Shikai that he could not do anything, and recommended Duan Qirui, who was dismissed at home, to serve as secretary of state to form a cabinet, otherwise it would be difficult to do it, Yuan Shikai sighed and reluctantly agreed.

On April 21, 1916, Duan Qirui served as Secretary of State to form a cabinet, and appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang, Minister of Internal Affairs Wang Yitang, Minister of Finance Sun Baoqi, Chief of Army Duan Qirui, Chief of the Navy Liu Guanxiong, Chief of Justice Zhang Zongxiang, Minister of Education Zhang Guogan, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce Jin Bangping, Chief of Communications Cao Rulin, Chief of Staff Wang Shizhen, and Dean of Audit Zhuang Yunkuan. The eight members of Duan Qirui's cabinet are all supporters of the imperial system, and when President Yuan Shikai saw the list, he sighed that Duan Qirui was still old-fashioned, and the government gave him peace of mind. There were opponents of this cabinet list in the southern overseers of the People's Party, but the warlords in the north praised it and expressed their support. Duan Qirui thought well, as long as the Beiyang system is not chaotic, there is no need to be afraid of the Kuomintang no matter how tossed. For the sake of national stability, Duan Qirui went to Nanjing to meet with Feng Guozhang, the direct leader of another faction in Beiyang, and announced that he was willing to submit to the command of the Central Committee. Later, representatives of 20 provinces and regions across the country arrived in Nanjing, participated in the Nanjing Conference, and put forward an eight-point statement to maintain national unity. However, only the first of these eight statements was opposed by the KMT, which was to maintain Yuan Shikai's status, and he was still The President of the Republic of China. At the Nanjing Conference, the representatives of the provinces argued endlessly because of the first article, and the three provinces of Guizhou, Guizhou and Guangdong resolutely stated that they would go on a northern expedition until Yuan Shikai stepped down, and the provinces in charge of Beiyang said that Yuan Shikai must be president, and they quarreled over this.

Hulunbuir also sent representatives, including Niu Delu, the head of the resettlement division of the army's representatives, and Zhang Chaoyong, the director of the civil affairs department of the government, who were considered local remote forces at the meeting, so they did not participate in the discussion too much. However, Niu Delu also got a rare instruction from Wang Maoru, and slapped the table and shouted: "Fight, fight, your Qianjun was beaten by our Hulunbuir, and you still have a face shouting." He pointed to the representatives of Sichuan and Yunnan and shouted: "If you are not convinced, my marshal is willing to lead 100,000 Hulunbuir cavalry to level Sichuan and Yunnan!" The angry beards of the Guizhou deputies were cocked, and the deputies of Sichuan and Yunnan also jumped up and shouted. It's just that Hulunbuir is located in a remote area, and everyone just sees that they are loyal to Yuan Shikai and doesn't care too much. Moreover, Beiyang was originally one party, although Wang Maoru is a backward generation in Beiyang and belongs to a small generation in Beiyang, but the interests of Beiyang are not allowed to be offended by others. Regarding Wang Maoru's attitude, the other Beiyang bigwigs psychologically agreed, even if the old man is not the emperor, then he must have a decent person, how can he let you assign him arbitrarily, not to mention the main force of Beiyang, that is, the Hulunbuir Army of the Beiyang junior is enough to destroy you.

During the negotiations, an incident suddenly occurred, which made the meeting end faster, it turned out that the assassination of Chen Qimei, the former overseer of Shanghai, angered the Kuomintang Party, and the four independent provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Guangdong announced the establishment of a military government in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, and honored Li Yuanhong, who was far away in Beijing, as the president. (Li Yuanhong was in Beijing, Yuan Shikai was under his nose, and the Southern Revolution ordered the government to respect him as the president, and the killing did not have to be so obvious) On May 9, Shaanxi became independent, and Chen Shufan, the town guard of northern Shaanxi, expelled Lu Jianzhang, the overseer of Shaanxi. On May 22, the Sichuan overseer Chen Eun announced**, and on May 29, Hunan Tang Qianming declared Hunan's independence.

At this time, Wang Maoru had already returned to Hulun City, after the beginning of spring. Ma Zhongyi, the son of Ma Liuzhou, once again served as the director of the immigration department, recruiting immigrants across the country. At the beginning of the year, Ma Zhongyi had already made a plan to hire his own sea ships to recruit immigrants in Shandong, Guangdong, and Fujian provinces, and by June, Hulunbuir had received a total of 250,000 immigrants, and these 250,000 people were scattered in Hulunbuir and Xibutha 11 Banners, clearing wasteland for farming and engaging in production. And the immigrants who came one after another because of the exemption from land taxation were not affected by the confrontation in the black province and came here to engage in production. Wang Mao ordered the government to set up schools. The school is divided into three levels. They are four-year primary schools, four-year middle schools, three-year junior colleges or five-year universities, and 20 primary schools, four middle schools and one junior college and two universities have been built in Hulunbuir. They are Yakeshi Agricultural College, Yakeshi Engineering University (Science), Yakeshi University (Liberal Arts), and cut the ribbon for these three schools. Wang Maoru's mind is to turn Yakeshi, a beautiful town, into a university town in Hulunbuir.

However, it was said that Yuan Shikai was already suffering from uremia at this time, and when Chen Eun Tang Qianming declared independence, Yuan Shikai was even more distressed, uremia worsened, and he took medicine in the palace every day. How can you deal with national affairs. Yuan Shikai's autonomy is running out, looking back on the past, full of emotion, Washington, which could have become a "China" country, but because of a careless 10,000 years, it was ruined. June 3rd. Yuan Shikai passed out in a coma. His children complained and quarreled with each other, and Yuan Keding was naturally the target of everyone's criticism, accusing him of forcing his father to a dead end. Yuan Keding was uneasy, but he didn't know that Duan Qirui, the army chief outside, had slowly grasped the military power of the model army in his own hands. When Yuan was in danger, he brought his old friend Xu Shichang from Hui County, Henan Province to Beijing, and Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, and Zhang Zhenfang were the same people who accepted the will. On June 5, Xu Shichang hurried to the mansion, Yuan cast a look at him, and said weakly: "The chrysanthemum came just in time, I am already a useless person." Xu reluctantly comforted him and said: "The president doesn't have to be anxious, it will naturally be good to rest for a few days." But he added: "It's good that the president has something to say and arrange it sooner." ”

Yuan blinked his pale and godless eyes, and only said the word "covenant" before he fell into a coma again.

On June 6, after Yuan Shikai woke up again, he urgently summoned Xu Shichang to come to him and told Xu Shichang to take more care of his children. "Then he died. Who is this "he hurt me" to come? Some people say Yuan Keding, but more people think it is Yang Du, because after all, compared with Yang Du, Yuan Keding's influence and interpersonal relationships in the government are not as great as Yang Du. In later generations, some people misreported that Yuan Shikai shouted "Yang Du misunderstood me" before he died, which is also just a rumor.

Yuan Shikai just ran out of breath, Duan Qirui just finished dealing with state affairs and came over, and he felt that he was too late to see Lao Shuai in the future, "After Yuan Shikai died, there was an aunt and wife that night, and the North Korean Min family committed suicide for Yuan Shikai's martyrdom, and Yuan Kewen, the second son who had just returned to Beijing from Shanghai, heard that his parents died at the same time, and cried and fainted.

After Yuan Shikai's death, everyone opened the Jinkui Stone House (the heir to the president) and saw that the list of presidential heirs was written with the names of Li Yuanhong, Xu Shichang, and Duan Qirui. Only then did everyone know that Yuan Shikai had never inherited the throne from his son who couldn't support his two muddy walls, and Yuan Keding thought that he could still inherit the position of president, but he found that it was not, and he immediately sat down.

On the afternoon of June 6, the fifth year of the Republic of China, the Beiyang government issued a communiqué: "President Yuan died of uremia at 10:40 a.m. today, according to the government, Yuan suffered from prostatic hypertrophy and could not urinate. , stopped at Rentang, and succeeded to the throne by the vice president. At the same time, Yuan's testament was published.

Although Yuan Shikai was a thief in front of him, Yuan Shikai also did many things that were beneficial to the people during his reign, even if Yuan Shikai died at this time, many celebrities in China also expressed their feelings to mourn Yuan Shikai's death. Even Sun Yat-sen lamented the death of Yuan Shikai and delivered a eulogy.
