Chapter 20 Don't Say It's Unpredictable!
Chapter 20: Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!
"What is the purpose of the revolution? To strengthen the country and enrich the people! The Qing Dynasty was decayed, and the people's livelihood was poor. The revolutionaries responded to the call, and then there were rebellions in various provinces. Today's revolution has not yet completed its full success, the Qing Dynasty is still there, and the unified Republic of China has not yet been established. There are 40 million compatriots.
Before the happy changes that were expected to be brought about by the success of the revolution have come, the military governments of various provinces have been indiscriminately issuing military tickets and buying and selling by force. How is this different from the Manchu rulers? It is even worse! Today, there is Fang Lang, a citizen of the United Autonomous Region, who was born in 1996.
Merchants,... 500,000 military coins forcefully purchased 500,000 silver dollars of cloth. I wonder if the Chongqing military government is an official? Is it a bandit? Sanjiang Trading Company is a legal enterprise registered in the United Autonomous Region. It has always operated legally and has never acted in a lax manner.
.The Chongqing military government first seized arms on the grounds of smuggling arms, and then used the government's official power to forcefully purchase a huge amount of goods. In this case, the Joint Autonomous Region Government Affairs Committee authorized the National Defense Forces Committee to intervene within a three-day period. If the Chongqing military government cannot stop and take back the goods
All military tickets. The National Defense Forces will take necessary military actions to ensure the interests of the people of the autonomous region. This message is notified to the whole country, please do not say that it is unforeseen!"
Fang Jianxiong can be said to be in the spotlight now, and his every move has attracted the attention of the whole country. Such a sudden power-on and an extremely tough tone naturally attracted the attention of the whole country. What followed was overwhelming newspaper propaganda. From Wuhan Three
To the east of the town, newspapers from various provinces along the Yangtze River concentrated on reporting the incident. Military vouchers are a magical thing, and the people know it best. What is the difference between this kind of circulation vouchers that are forcibly issued based on violence and robbery?
The provinces were running low on military spending and issued military stamps one after another, and the people suffered greatly. Fang Jianxiong suddenly stood up and expressed his views on the military stamps, without causing a sensation across the country.
Shanghai, the team leader who had just praised the Northern Expedition, was once again active on the front line of the newspaper debate. His essay "On Military Tickets" was published in "Business Times", a newspaper with a sales volume of over 20,000.
"Military tickets, from the day they were born, are destined to be dirty and shameless plunder."
"Each military government under the banner of the Provisional Government, including the Provisional Government, has issued a large number of military tickets."
"I would like to ask all the leading figures of today and the governors of various provinces, is this the purpose of your revolution?"
Although this article is written in plain language, its writing is concise. The writing style is as sharp as a knife, and it penetrates the wood. It can be said that a knife can see blood! The matter of general votes has been thrown into the garbage heap of history that will never be recovered.
In such a lively time, some people would naturally not miss the opportunity to mediate. Liang Qichao gave a speech in Yamashita Town, Yokohama, Japan, saying: The Provisional Government is a hundred times more repressive than the Qing government, and the one who fears the death of China is not the Qing government, so the new government will be implemented.
But Liang Qichao has passed away. No one takes his words seriously. If a small stone is thrown into the sea, not a single wave can be seen clearly.
On February 15, history has been completely distorted. Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong is not very familiar with history.
Historically, the Qing government, which had originally issued an edict to abdicate, had not yet abdicated. Empress Dowager Longyu held another cabinet meeting to discuss the abdication. After many disputes, it was finally decided to accept the abdication on the terms proposed by Yuan Shikai. This was considered a tough attitude.
, Fang Jianxiong is to blame for the tough attitude. After this guy appeared, history was distorted into a mess. Originally, the Northern Expedition could not continue until it reached Shandong, and there was no money to fight. After the distortion of history, the Northern Expedition was postponed, but the financial situation
The problem has been alleviated. The interim government is still ambitious.
Historically, the Beiyang Army, which was originally in Hubei, has now retreated beyond Wusheng Pass in Henan. The Beiyang Army's troops left in Henan include all of the Second Town, one association in the Sixth Town, one association in the Fourth Town, and Wuxiang Frame Association. But they are all
He adopted a defensive posture and kept a distance of more than a hundred miles. This was because he was worried about irritating Fang Jianxiong.
After Fang Jianxiong sent troops to Jiangxi, Yuan Shikai first lost the third, and four towns and two returned to Beijing. The purpose was naturally very clear. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Yuan Shikai quickly dispatched Cao Kun south to Shandong, and re-equipped the fourth town and the seventh association with Japanese-made weapons.
Emergency trip south.
Ye Changsheng Xie of the Fifth Town, who was originally supposed to fight Lan Tianwei in Jiaodong, is now on his way to Zaozhuang.
Yuan Shikai was in a good mood after the victory at Zaozhuang. The Third Town was indeed an elite, but after the victory at Laiyang, Yuan Shikai was upset. Although the Jiaodong Self-Defense Army stayed in the Jiaodong Peninsula very safely, not even Weifang, but those guys
It was left by Sun Baoqi. To say that Sun Baoqi's master and apprentice are so fucked up, what do you want to do if you leave so many soldiers and horses in Shandong? It's not like Yuan Shikai never thought of letting the Fifth Town destroy the Jiaodong Self-Defense Army. He never did.
Make up your mind.
Now it is said that this gang has grown to more than 10,000 people and has become so large that it is even more difficult to destroy them. Therefore, Cao Kun has arranged to go south, and the Fourth Town and the First Association have gone south. First, destroy the temporary
Let’s talk about the government’s Northern Expeditionary Army, turn back, hum!
Just when the two units in the north and the south, which claimed to be the government, started fighting, Fang Jianxiong suddenly jumped out to argue with military tickets. Yuan Shikai was not happy at all when he received the news. Fang Jianxiong had already occupied three provinces, and Sichuan was going to fall again.
If it falls into his hands, it will be even more troublesome. The problem is that this matter is not without benefits for Yuan Shikai, at least for now.
Big. Sichuan is a province under the Provisional Government, and those who issue military coupons are those military governments. Fang Jianxiong attacked the military coupons and threatened Chongqing to use force. For Yuan Shikai, who was fighting with the Provisional Government, this was indeed a problem.
A good thing. At least for the time being, you don't have to worry about Fang Jianxiong going north, and you can concentrate on dealing with the Provisional Government's Northern Expedition.
All in all, Yuan Shikai was happy to see any conflicts between Fang Jianxiong and the Provisional Government, and was willing to add fuel to the flames. It would be better if the two families started to fight again.
Fang Jianxiong made a fuss about the military tickets, and the first person to respond was Yunnan Governor Cai E. Governor Cai called Hubei, saying that the so-called Han Military Government in Sichuan and the Chongqing Military Government had led to the split of Sichuan on the day they were established, and the two places competed to issue military tickets.
Looting local areas to enrich the heads of various governments. We, the revolutionary soldiers, should attack these governments that are harmful to the people.
The first one to make a fuss was followed by the second one. The next one was Hunan Governor Tan Yankai. Governor Licorice spent 800,000 Yuan to buy Ping An, but he felt uneasy. Fang Jianxiong wanted to crack down on the Chongqing military government that abused military tickets. Tan Yankai
The governor then called and said: The Chongqing military government should review itself and come up with appropriate solutions as soon as possible. The top priority is to release the people first.
Governor Tan's meaning is very clear, He Xini is here to resolve the incident peacefully.
Fang Jianxiong responded quickly and said in the call: "As authorized by the Joint Autonomous Region Government Affairs Committee, the National Defense Forces protect the lives and property of the people within their jurisdiction and have no intention of overthrowing the military government in Chengdu and Chongqing. Brother Songpo's good intentions are understood by the National Defense Forces."
The implication is that Lao Cai, please don't interfere with this trivial matter. Don't think that I don't know what your plans are. When you send troops, you must be going to Zigong. Do you think I don't know about you?
Then he called back to Governor Tan, saying that the National Defense Forces love peace, but they will never tolerate the harm to the interests of the people of the autonomous region. They will not waver within the three-day deadline. In addition, Cheng Qian, who was waiting in Wuchang, was asked to come and receive a batch of arms and 1,000 rifles.
oh.
These two calls back were all handled with the help of Fang Jianxiong and a group of close aides. Cai E was too far away, and Fang Jianxiong couldn't reach him, so he politely declined his offer. It is said that the Yunnan Army was very capable of fighting, but Cai E was able to get ahead of him.
If we enter Sichuan, we will be in trouble. So, let’s respond with good words first. By the way, this is the autonomous region’s own business.
As for Hunan, that's very rude. You spent money with me, and I can pay you back at any time. Well, I can also default on the bill and send troops to beat you. So, there are no people who talk too much.
Good ending.
As a party involved, the Chongqing military government naturally wants to complain, saying that this matter was not done and that it was completely fabricated. Then there is the Sanjiang Trade, which is indeed smuggling arms, and the evidence is conclusive.
Chengdu has long been dissatisfied with Chongqing, and basically the two military governments have never been on good terms. The civil strife in Sichuan for several decades was basically dominated by the confrontation between Chengdu and Chongqing. With such a good opportunity to add insult to injury, Chengdu
Of course they won't be polite.
The military government in Chengdu is a bunch of shit. After Yin Changheng deceived Zhao Erfeng into trusting him and handed over the military power of three thousand border troops, he immediately turned his back and chopped off Zhao Erfeng's head. Then he took control of Chengdu.
He has done a lot of things like issuing military coupons. Of course, history is hard to talk about. Yin Changheng is still a positive figure in official history. He is the hero who put down the Chengdu mutiny and the great man who conquered the Western Rebellion in Tibet. Putting aside other things, just
In terms of pacifying the war, this king left a mark in the history books and can be called a heroic figure.
As for now, it is not external, but internal. Yin Changheng is not a member of the alliance. In the early days when he served as governor, he was very unfriendly to the so-called military government in Chongqing. After Fang called on the power, Yin Changheng responded on the phone: Abuse of military votes is actually harmful to the people.
For example, the unification of Sichuan is the wish of the Sichuan people. Chang Heng will lead his troops to go out in the near future to unify all Sichuan.
Yin Changheng's telegram only said that the misuse of military stamps harmed the people, and did not mention the military stamps themselves. Naturally, Marshal Fang refused to buy it, and said in the telegram: "Military stamps will never be issued in the United Autonomous Region, and military stamps will never be tolerated to harm the people of the autonomous region.
." This is just a gag. Yin Changheng hasn't called back yet, and all provincial governors across the country have started to call.
The core of the power of these governors is one. At the beginning of the revolution, the house was cleared to retire, which was a credit to the entire revolution. In times of financial distress, military tickets were a temporary measure. When the revolution was successful and banks were established in each province, the military tickets must be recovered.
of.
Not to mention, on the issue of military votes, no governor in any province dares to say anything.
The Nanjing Provisional Government also quickly expressed its position, saying: The Bank of China will be established soon. After the provincial branches are established, the military receipts will be recycled. The Chongqing Military Government should give an explanation to the autonomous region on this matter as soon as possible. (To be continued...)
