On November 6th, many people across the country were very depressed:
For example, Zhang Shaozeng and Lan Tianwei. They electrified the whole country and demanded that the Qing government reorganize the royal cabinet, convene a parliament, and implement constitutional government. Later, they published the news on radio stations and newspapers that "the royal cabinet announced the general resignation on the night of the 5th." This was obviously a slap in the face! Everyone knows that their demands such as reorganizing the cabinet, such as the slogan "Execute Chao Cuo, Qing Jun side" proposed during the Wu-Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Western Han Dynasty, are just excuses for rebellion. Unexpectedly, the Qing court was as decisive as Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. Really Disband the royal cabinet!
Zhang Shaozeng, Lan Tianwei and others didn't need to think too much, and they decided that there was a mole around them, so the Qing government got the news in advance and prepared countermeasures. What makes them depressed is that the excuse has been resolved. What should they do next?
For example, Zaifeng. Regarding Yi Kuang's resignation, it was originally just a verbal dispute in the cabinet. He was planning to take the initiative to surrender the next morning and persuade King Qing to withdraw his resignation. Who would have thought that early the next morning, the news of "The Royal Cabinet Announced the General Resignation on the Night of the 5th" was already flying everywhere. Even if Prince Qing was shameless and shameless, he would not be able to continue to serve as Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Do we really want Yuan Si to form a cabinet?
What¡¯s even more terrible is that the 20th Town Controller and the 2nd Mixed Association, which have been stranded in Luanzhou, actually sent a message to the whole country, demanding the reorganization of the royal cabinet, the convening of a parliament, and the implementation of constitutional government. Although they said this, their intention was that Sima Zhao's intentions were known to everyone. Yesterday, the independence of Jiangsu, Anhui, Shaanxi, and Shanxi provinces was disturbing enough. Now there is another military revolt in Luanzhou. Luanzhou and the capital are very close at hand! Can Zaifeng not be depressed?
Another example is Yi Kuang. Originally, when he said he was resigning at Prince Chun's Mansion, it was just a momentary remark. According to the character of Zaifeng he was familiar with, he would definitely take the initiative to beg for mercy and visit him to implore him to come out to handle the affairs, so he dared to leave. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the radio box broadcast the news that he had announced the resignation of the cabinet chief last night. Subsequently, major newspapers rushed to report on it, resulting in a "raw rice cooked rice" situation. Do you think Yikuang is depressed?
Zai Tao is also very depressed. Both Zaifeng and Yikuang believed that the news on the radio and newspapers was released by him, which is the conscience of heaven and earth! After the trouble at Prince Chun's Mansion, he went home, drank a few taels of wine, and played wildly with his concubine until late at night, sleeping until midnight. Who has the need and ability to arrange this murderous situation? After much deliberation, I can only blame that thief Yuan Si! But when he told his brother about this inference, Zaifeng thought it was a poor cover-up and didn't believe it at all. He didn't do anything bad, but he offended his brother and Prince Qing, and had to take the blame for his enemies. Zaifeng was so depressed that he went home and started drinking again.
Yuan Shikai, who was in Zhengzhou, was not exempt from the vulgarity and also followed the trend and became depressed.
Originally, he listened to the suggestions of Ruan Zhongshu, Zhang Yilu and others, and planned to sit in the Central Plains and watch the officialdom in the capital be turbulent, the battlefields of Shanxi and Shaanxi were filled with smoke, and the mountains and rivers south of the Yangtze River changed hands. Unexpectedly, the news leaked out, and he was linked to the resignation of the Prime Minister of the Royal Family. He thought that he left in a hurry after getting the news of Yi Kuang's announcement of the resignation of the Prime Minister, which showed that he coveted the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet. ¡ª¡ªEven if this is the case, it can¡¯t be fully explained! He looked as if he was in a hurry, and his appearance was too ugly.
What made him even more depressed was that Zhang Shaozeng, Lan Tianwei and others suddenly held military remonstrances. In his opinion, Henan, Shandong, Zhili, Beijing and other places are the base areas of the Beiyang Army and the foundation for their ambition to dominate the world. Especially in the capital city of Zhili, there is no room for chaos. Now that Zhang Shaozeng suddenly launched this big move, it is very likely that he would overthrow the Qing court before he could reach an agreement with the constitutionalists, revolutionary parties, and Sun Yuanqi. As a result, the wishful thinking planned before was completely disrupted.
While Cheng Ziyin, Zhang Huizan and He Sui were having secret discussions, Yuan Shikai and his close aides were also conducting emergency consultations on the current domestic situation in Zhengzhou.
Yuan Shikai sat in the main seat with a gloomy look on his face, and said bitterly: "Yuan has known Zhang Jingyu for so long, but he didn't know that he was so bold! What about 'convening a parliament' and 'implementing constitutional government', isn't it just that he wants to rebel? ? Lu Zijia (i.e., Lu Yongxiang, President of the Fifth Mixed Association) and Pan Danting (Pan Juying, President of the 40th Association) are also unbridled, and they actually followed Zhang Jingyu to cause mischief!"
Zhang Yilu persuaded: "Commander, Zhang Jingyu, General Zhang is a gentle, mature and prudent person. He may have the intention to reorganize the royal cabinet and ask the commander-in-chief to come forward to form a cabinet. But if he is asked to act as a soldier and violate the authority, I don't think he has the ability to do so." Courage. The only thing to worry about is Lan Tianwei, the leader of the Second Mixed Association! When he was in Japan in the 29th year of Guangxu (1903), he and Huang Xing, the rebel leader, and others initiated the organization of the Anti-Russian Volunteer Team and served as the captain. Who Do you know if he has joined the rebel party privately?"
Ruan Zhongshu added: "The people in the Military Consultation Office are also unwise. They actually sent Wu Suiqing to Luanzhou to comfort and persuade! Although they secretly considered that there were signs of instability in the Sixth Town, they wanted to transfer Wu Suiqing away from Shijiazhuang, but they did not know that it had the opposite effect Wu Suiqing had an impatient personality and radical ideas. After receiving the telegram from the court, he either colluded with the Shanxi rebel army and headed north along the Lu-Han Line to approach the capital, or went to Luanzhou to encourage Zhang Shaozeng and Lan Tianwei to change their troops and rebel. No matter what, it will add insult to injury! "
Yuan Shikai's face became even more gloomy: "The matter has reached this point. It's useless to talk more. Let's think about what to do!"
Zhao Bingjun pointed his finger and said: "Commander, let me see how we can deal with it this way: First, stabilize the situation in the capital. According to intelligence, after the news of Luanzhou's military remonstrance reached Beijing, there was panic in the city. Officials and their families fled to Tianjin one after another to prepare to go south by boat. Empress Dowager Longyu is also preparing to take Jin Shang and flee to Chengde for refuge. Once the empress leaves the capital, the situation in the capital will be uncontrollable, so we must remonstrate and prevent the empress from leaving the capital. We also mobilize the Yi Army of Jiang Hanqing (Jiang Guiti) to station in Beijing. Guard the Nine Gates to guard against unexpected events. Forcing officials to stay on duty, businesses to open, and theaters to start performances, to calm people's minds.
¡°Second, divert all the trains on the railway lines near Luanzhou and Shijiazhuang to prevent the revolutionary party from using the railway to quickly enter Beijing after the rebellion in the Sixth and Twentieth Towns, leaving us enough time to deal with the counter-insurgency.
"Third, get rid of Wu Luzhen. As Brother Douzhan (Ruan Zhongshu) said, Wu Luzhen has an impatient personality and radical thoughts. He is also a first-term student of the Japanese Army Military Academy and has great influence in the Beiyang Army. And now the sixth The town is located between Henan and the capital. It is in a key position. Once an attack occurs, it will cause great harm. Getting rid of Wu Luzhen will not only prevent the rebellion in the sixth town, but also kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, allowing Zhang Shaozeng and others to understand the situation again. "
Yuan Shikai patted the armrest of the Grand Master's chair: "There is Yuan without Wu, there is Wu without Yuan. Wu Suiqing must be eliminated!"
Zhao Bingjun rolled his eyes: "Actually, if we want to get rid of Wu Suiqing, we don't need to take action. All we need is an order from the commander."
"Who to send?"
"Zhou Fulin!" Zhao Bingjun replied simply, "When the commander-in-chief was training troops at the small station, Zhou Fulin was a regular soldier. Later, after being promoted many times by the commander-in-chief, he was able to serve as the commander-in-chief of the 12th Association of the Sixth Town. . Last year Wu Suiqing served as the commander of the Sixth Town. In order to establish prestige, he was the first to take action on Zhou Fulin and removed him because of his opium addiction. Therefore, he has always held a grudge against Wu Suiqing. As long as the adults give him a signal to assassinate Wu Suiqing, he can If the official is reinstated, I can guarantee that Wu Suiqing will never survive more than ten days!"
Yuan Shikai then showed a smile: "I don't bother you two masters. Since this idea came from Zhi'an, I will continue to bother you."
Zhao Bingjun hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "This is a matter within my job. You're welcome, Commander!"
Ruan Zhongshu thought of a key question: "Commander, our top priority now is to take over as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet as soon as possible so that we can deal with the matter of Zhang Shaozeng and Wu Luzhen, right? Otherwise, it will be unfair and unjust!"
Yuan Shikai naturally understood the reason, but he couldn't express the pain in his heart: because the process of being the prime minister of the cabinet is similar to that of becoming the emperor. Even if he covets and is willing to do so, he has to pretend to be humble three times before agreeing to take office. It is the "three concessions". I had already been poked at a lot when I rushed to Zhengzhou. If I didn't go through the "three concessions" procedure as usual, I would really be convinced of the rumors that I was "passionate about fame and fortune."
After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shikai said: "If the court and the princes all think that Yuan is worthy of this position, Yuan does not want to refuse too much, but the current situation is like this, and the three concession procedures have to be done step by step. I hope the court can realize the national situation. It¡¯s a critical situation, so it¡¯s best to resolve this matter as soon as possible.¡±
Zhang Yilu said: "We expect to send a telegram to the whole country at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to announce the second recommendation. If nothing happens, the telegram of the third appointment from the imperial court will be released around noon. We can be ordered to form a cabinet at four or five o'clock tomorrow afternoon. . Can the list of cabinet members be drawn up now?¡±
Everyone here was shocked when they heard this: Isn¡¯t it just that everyone following Yuan Shikai is waiting for this time?
Yuan Shikai said: "Although I'm a little anxious, it's a good idea to draw it up this morning so that you're prepared!"
"Does the commander have any clues?" Zhao Bingjun asked hurriedly.
Yuan Shikai smiled slightly: "Don't be anxious, Zhi'an. Yuan is going to appoint you as Minister of Civil Affairs. I wonder if you are willing to give in?"
Zhao Bingjun was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Marshal, for your love!"
Yuan Shikai turned to the others: "You don't have to worry, everyone has a share."
Everyone in the room suddenly burst into cheers and beamed with joy.
"However," Yuan Shikai paused, "in order to quell the rebellious party as soon as possible, in addition to our people and people from the court, I am afraid we will also need to invite some constitutionalists and revolutionary parties to come in."
Zhao Bingjun was a little confused: "I wonder who the commander-in-chief is going to invite?"
Yuan Shikai said: "I would like to ask Zhang Shiweng (Zhang Jian), the leader of the domestic constitutionalists, to be the Minister of Agriculture and Industry, Liang Rengong (Liang Qichao), the leader of the overseas constitutionalists, to be the Deputy Minister of Justice, and Sun Baixi, the representative of the Revolutionary Party, to continue to be the Minister of Education.
