After February, Wang Maoru has been staying in the Saltu barracks, and he is also waiting anxiously, knowing how stable Wang Maoru planned and Zhu Yongquan, he is also anxious, and this move of the handsome is really ...... If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent.

While anxiously waiting for the turmoil in Russia, he waited for a person to arrive, and Jiang Fangzhen returned to China.

After Jiang Fangzhen held a funeral for Cai Ye in Japan, he decided to return to China, and at this time received invitations from Wang Maoru and Li Yuanhong, Li Yuanhong invited Jiang Fangzhen to serve as the senior secretary general of the presidential office, and Wang Maoru invited him to serve as the chief of staff of the Heilongjiang Provincial Army. One is serving in the state, the other is in the locality, the other is in the prosperous place of Beijing, and the other is in the land of ice and snow, Heilongjiang, Li Yuanhong's envoy is full of confidence, thinking that Jiang Fangzhen will definitely go to Beijing to take up his post.

Jiang Fangzhen also thought about it, it is good to go to Beijing, the secretary general of the presidential office, but can he display his ambitions there? The government is not what Li Yuanhong said, but Duan Qirui, if he goes to Beijing, he will inevitably be hit by Duan Qirui. And to go to the place, although it is said to be a place of ice and snow and bitter cold, but it was entrusted with an important task, the chief of staff of the army, one person under ten thousand people.

After making up his mind, Jiang Fangzhen took a boat to Dalian first, and then came directly to Heilongjiang, making Li Yuanhong's envoy angry enough and scolding Jiang Fangzhen for not knowing how to lift.

Jiang Fangzhen had conflicts with Zhang Zuolin in his early years, so he didn't consider this Northeast hero, and Zhang Zuolin knew that Jiang Fangzhen was passing by Shenyang. Although he showed an attitude of eagerness for talent, Jiang Fangzhen didn't even get off the train, which made General Zhang lose face very much.

Jiang Fangzhen's arrival made Wang Maoru ecstatic, Jiang Fangzhen got off the train, Wang Maoru trotted all the way over and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Fangzhen's hand, and said, "Brother Baili." Brother Baili, with you, I am like a fish in water. It's like a fish in water. ”

Jiang Baili whispered: "What a big stroke, Xiushuai is not afraid of knocking out his teeth?" ”

"Why did Brother Baili say this?"

"Hmph, you dare to fight even the idea of the Middle Road. It really deserves to be the Northern Shangwu. ”

Wang Maoru hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered, "Shh, how do you know?" ”

"I've been with you for a long time, so I naturally know your habits, and you're always a blockbuster." Jiang Fangzhen said with a smile.

"Go, go, drink, drink." Wang Maoru held his hand for a long time and did not let go.

Jiang Baili is the president of the Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy and the Beijing Army University. Moreover, he is also the chief instructor of the model regiment, and it can be said that Wang Maoru's officers, 70% of them are his students, or they were his students. At the welcome banquet to welcome Jiang Fangzhen, Jiang Fangzhen also felt the love of the officers and soldiers of the Heilongjiang Army.

Wang Maoru privately approached Zhu Yongquan. Saying that Jiang Fangzhen is here, I intend him to be the chief of the general staff, and you to be the deputy chief of the general staff, if you have any grievances and dissatisfactions, as well as demands, just say to me. Zhu Yongquan was greatly surprised, and said: "Xiushuai, if President Jiang is the chief of the general staff, I am willing to shine the shoes for the principal, why be dissatisfied?" I'm raising a hundred hands in favor. Wang Maoru saw that he was not false, so he said: "In the future, the staff office will become the staff department, and you have to worry more about it." Zhu Yongquan was very happy to hear the news, and he left his dissatisfaction behind.

Thanks to Jiang Fangzhen's fame and talent, he can control everyone and suppress everyone, and his arrival has not aroused anyone's opposition.

Wang Maoru called Jiang Fangzhen, Zhu Yongquan, He Rufei, Li Delin, Li Pinxian, Gong Xiaoqi, Liu Jian and several other subordinates together, walked to a large curtain, smiled at everyone, and suddenly opened the curtain hanging on the wall, a huge map was presented in front of everyone, Wang Maoru pointed to Harbin with a baton, and said loudly: "Next, let's study how to recover the western section of the Eastern Railway." ”

At this time, Beijing was also a depression, after Duan Qirui was persuaded to return, he acted more perversely, basically for the executive order, you have to sign the president, and you have to sign if you don't sign, Li Yuanhong's henchmen are eager to pick their skin and pull their muscles, but Li Yuanhong is suffering from no soldiers in his hands and dare not do it.

In Beijing's National Assembly, members of various factions also made a mess. Former Kuomintang legislators formed a "Constitutional Discussion Council," with about 400 members of the National Assembly, making it the largest faction in the National Assembly. Among them, there are three main factions: the largest faction is the "Kelu faction" composed of Zhang Ji, Wu Jinglian and others, and the other two factions are the "Bingchen Club" composed of Lin Sen, Ju Zheng and others and the "Taoyuan faction" composed of Sun Hongyi and others. Although these three factions are united, they are not monolithic.

For example, the Kelu department belongs to the "moderate faction", advocating supporting the current cabinet of Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong to ensure the stability of the regime; However, the Bingchen Club and the other two factions belonged to the "radical faction" and advocated a struggle with Duan Qirui's cabinet. About 0 members of the former Progressive Party formed a "Constitutional Study Society" to oppose it, and they opposed the "Constitutional Consultation Council's" proposals for a bicameral parliament and decentralization, and demanded the adoption of a centralized and unicameral parliamentary system, and supported the Duan Qirui cabinet. This "Constitutional Research Society" is divided into the "Constitutional Discussion Association" composed of Tang Hualong and others, and the "Constitutional Research Comrades Association" composed of Liang Qichao, Lin Changmin, and others.

In this way, the Constitutional Council for Deliberation, which developed from the former Kuomintang parliamentary group, and the Constitutional Research Society, which developed from the former Progressive Party parliamentary group, formed the "Discussion Department" and the "Research Department" respectively. The former supports Li Yuanhong, and the latter supports Duan Qirui. Because the idea of decentralization of power in the "discussion department" is in line with the appetite of the warlords of various factions in the south, and the centralization idea of the "research department" caters to Duan Qirui's opinion that he wants to take back local power and strengthen the central government, behind this group of congressmen, there is a secret war between the southern non-Beiyang warlords and the direct warlords against the Anhui warlords of the northern central government.

Since the members of the National Assembly are divided, the Congress is lively, and the phenomenon of saliva and bricks flying together, fists and blood also occurs from time to time. There are many well-educated or new-school figures among the members of Congress, but they are often not so rational and elegant in the deliberations of the Congress, and the verbal personal attacks are still light, and large-scale fights are also frequently staged. Sven's swept Congress soon turned into a smoky vanity fair. A group of members of Congress collude with dignitaries and even engage in monetary transactions for their own and factional interests.

Duan Qirui sent a telegram to Wang Maoru, asking Wang Maoru to call to support him, and Wang Maoru immediately complied, supporting Duan Qirui and supporting Duan Qirui. Duan Qirui is wise, Duan Qirui is resolute, and so on. With the support of the Northern Shangwu Wang Maoru, Duan Qirui became even more arrogant.

Li Yuanhong and Wang Maoru have no friendship, and they have also made Wang Maoru bad. Therefore, he also began to hate this Wang Maoru.

Under Duan Qirui's repeated requests, the Beijing government finally issued a letter of absolute virtue in March of the sixth year of the Republic of China, Li Yuanhong drew a clear line with Germany, and the two states broke off diplomatic relations.

Since President Li Yuanhong issued the Absolute Virtue Letter, all German concessions in China should be taken over by the local government of China, and German citizens are still regarded as expatriates and are temporarily allowed to stay in China. Deutsch-Hua Bank in Germany is temporarily closed. However, for these German facilities in China, other powers were also taken away by them on the principle of cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard.

Tongji Medical and Engineering University run by the Germans in the Shanghai Concession. It was the French who preempted the initiative and ordered the dissolution and expulsion of the Germans. As for the part of the indemnity to Germany in the Gengzi indemnity, Britain and France shamelessly demanded that the indemnity should be placed in the Anglo-French bank, and there was even the Dutch minister. Tian shamelessly ran to say that he was entrusted by the Kaiser to temporarily manage the German part of Gengzi's indemnity.

When Wang Maoru learned about it, he scolded the Netherlands in the newspapers for being shameless and the great powers for being shameless, and demanded that the government refuse to accept it. It's just that Wang Maoru is just a local warlord, and it is not enough to influence the central government. And as far as the central government is concerned, it is also actively looking for a way. Wang Maoru asked Babingayd and others to go to Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin, Wuhan and other places, saying that they could accept German nationals to live and provide them with protection, and at the same time hire them to serve their military government. Babingayed was also worried about the fate of his compatriots, so he hurriedly brought his compatriots with his men.

It was at this time that the famous bourgeois revolution broke out in Russia, the February Revolution (the old Russian calendar). In fact, since 1917, there has been a constant outbreak of conflict in Russia, and by the beginning of February, the cold winter, food shortages, poor livelihoods, and economic collapse had already set the triggers for a popular uprising. As a result, the workers of St. Petersburg (then Petrograd), the capital of Russia, took the lead in launching a strike that began the Great Revolution, which swept the country and spread to the world.

On March 3, workers at the Putillov plant, a large factory in St. Petersburg, declared a strike. Striking workers were dismissed, leading to strikes in other factories. As some demonstrators demanded an increase in the supply of bread, some workers at the factory found reasons to continue the strike. Although there were occasional clashes between demonstrators and government forces, there were no casualties on the first day. In the days that followed, striking workers gathered in St. Petersburg, and tensions grew.

On March 8, demonstrators held a series of gatherings and rallies to celebrate International Women's Day, and gradually politicized the event. For the first time, the participants used slogans that are more sensitive in Russia, such as "No to the war!" "And" to end the dictatorship! And so on. Under the deliberate guidance of the Bolshevik Party, a joint general strike was held in the capital's factories with the participation of 300,000 people. The storm of revolution frightened Tsar Nicholas II, who ordered to quickly restore order to the capital by any means. The arrest of the leaders of the Petrograd Committee of the Bolsheviks and more than a hundred other bourgeois revolutionary activists provoked great outrage among the masses. They took to the streets to protest against government brutality.

This time, there were clashes between the police and the people, resulting in deaths and injuries between the two sides. The demonstrators prepared their weapons and looted the police headquarters. On 10 March, the tsarist government sent a large group of soldiers to sweep the city. Initially, the soldiers supported the government and killed many demonstrators, but the tide of the uprising intensified as more and more soldiers turned against the tide and supported the uprising. At this time, the tsar was deeply disturbed, so he dissolved the Duma and ordered the election of a provisional committee.

The Bolshevik Party Committee of the Vyborg District, which led the strike, decided to turn the general strike into an armed uprising, overthrowing the tsarist government. The workers immediately sprang into action, storming the arsenals, seizing guns and ammunition, erecting barricades and fighting the reactionary military police. At the same time, the workers were also actively engaged in the work of winning over the army, and under the propaganda and inspiration of the workers, tens of thousands of soldiers openly stood on the side of the revolution. Together with the insurrectionary workers, they seized the Winter Palace, the Tsar's lair, and government ministries, and arrested the Tsar's ministers and generals. The uprising in the capital was completely victorious. Nicholas II was not reconciled to his defeat and immediately transferred troops from the front in an attempt to recapture the capital, but the tsarist army also mutinied under the influence of the revolution. Seeing that the tide was turning, Nicholas II was forced to retire in March in favor of his brother Mikhail. The next day, Mikhail also announced his abdication. In this way, the Romanov dynasty, which had ruled Russia for 304 years, was overwhelmed by the February Revolution. The bourgeois-democratic revolution in Russia was victorious.

After the February Revolution, there was a situation in Russia in which two regimes coexisted, rarely seen in history: the bourgeois Provisional Government and the Soviet of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers. Since each side has its own position, the Russian people do not know who to listen to.
