Seeing the 20,000 to 30,000 powerful Beiyang troops following the White Wolf Army into Anhui, the most anxious person was naturally Anhui Governor Bai Wenwei. He was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that the Beiyang Army was coming because of bad intentions, and as soon as the Beiyang Army came, he should probably leave.
At this critical moment, he first sent his confidants to northern Anhui to contact Bai Lang, hoping that the White Wolf bandit army could accept changes as soon as possible and eliminate the excuse for the Beiyang Army to invade Anhui from the root. He also repeatedly called the Presidential Palace, saying that Anhui Province was capable of solving the White Wolf banditry and there was no need for the central government to overstep its authority. In addition, he also made two preparations, actively reorganizing the army in Anqing, Hefei and other places, and preparing to send troops north to face the invading Beiyang Army. Of course, should we use force to resist? If we resort to armed confrontation, when will we take action? These issues cannot be decided by Bai Wenwei. The decision must be made by Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others.
After receiving Bai Wenwei¡¯s request, Sun Yat-sen also hesitated. Although he was shouting loudly before, the disparity in strength between the north and the south cannot be made up by loud voices and high-pitched voices. What's more, Yuan Shikai is now sending troops into Anhui to occupy the title of "congress authorized to suppress bandits"? But Anhui, which is now facing a crisis, cannot sit idly by. After all, it is one of the only four provinces in the hands of the Kuomintang. If Anhui is not saved today, it is very likely that it will be Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong's turn tomorrow.
However, it is not easy to rebel against Yuan. Although Sun Yat-sen and others had been planning and operating for a long time before, they realized that there were still many things to deal with when the matter came to a close. After several days of correspondence with the governors of Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong provinces, they finally agreed to cooperate in discussing Yuan's affairs.
Soon, the governors of the four provinces jointly issued a telegram, accusing Yuan Shikai of acting recklessly and arbitrarily since he took office as the interim president, harming loyal people, and protecting criminals. There was the tragic death of Zhang Zhenwu and the murder of Song Jiaoren later, so that the deceased is still unjust; he despises him. Congress interfered with the constitution and borrowed up to 25 million pounds privately, causing harm to the country and affecting the people The telegram listed dozens of Yuan Shikai's major crimes and asked him to step down immediately, and he could forget about it. If you insist on clinging to power and position, the four provinces of Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong will unite with the provincial governors and people from all over the country to send troops northward to fight against the thieves, eliminate the stubborn ones, and protect the republic. If the Yuan family is not eliminated, they will not survive!
Yuan Shikai worked hard and waited for this moment. Immediately after receiving the call, a decree was issued stating that Bai Wenwei, Li Liejun and others were guilty of calling for military rebellion, subverting the government, interfering in national affairs, undermining the republic, etc., and should have been sentenced to death. Since the four people had previously served the country, they should be preserved. Four people were immediately dismissed from their positions as governors. If these four people persist in their evil ways, the government will severely punish them!
When it comes to this, the North and the South have no room for maneuver.
The day after Yuan Shikai promulgated the decree, the four provinces of Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong successively declared independence and issued telegrams publicly criticizing Yuan. Huang Xing immediately rushed to Wuhu, Anhui to form the general headquarters of the army to fight against Yuan, and appointed himself commander-in-chief. He appointed Bai Liewu as the commander-in-chief of the army to fight against Yuan in Anhui, and ordered him to lead the army in the Northern Expedition; he appointed Li Liejun and Tan Yankai as the commander-in-chief of the army to fight against Yuan in Jiangxi and Hunan, and ordered the two provinces to He divided his army and went north to coordinate the military operations in Anhui Province; Hu Hanmin served as the commander-in-chief of Guangdong Province's Yuan Army and served as the backup for the armies of the Northern Expedition.
Without waiting for the Yuan Army and the Beiyang Army to fire the first shot of the second revolution, Sun Yuanqi immediately ordered Liu Mingzhao and Yin Changheng to lead the Second Division of the Hubei Army to cross the border between Hunan and Hubei and attack Hunan on the opposite side.
Speaking of Hunan, we have to talk about Tan Yankai, the governor of Hunan.
For ordinary people today, the name Tan Yankai seems relatively unfamiliar. Among the few people who know the three characters "Tan Yankai", 70% to 80% know it because of calligraphy, and the rest are mostly from history classes. Born or a history buff. In fact, Tan Yankai was such a powerful and famous figure in Hunan at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China that when Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling got married, he was asked to be the introducer. During his fifty-year career, he served once as the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, three times as the Governor of Hunan (senior official and commander-in-chief of the Hunan Army), and later served as Chairman of the Nanjing National Government and President of the Executive Yuan.
Why is Tan Yankai so arrogant? First of all, I owe it to having a good dad. His father was Tan Zhonglin, an important minister in the late Qing Dynasty. He served successively as governor of Shaanxi, governor of Zhejiang, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, minister of the Ministry of Industry, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, governor of Sichuan, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang. Although Tan Yankai was the third son of a concubine, he was extremely talented and had always been valued by Tan Zhonglin.
In addition to his distinguished family background, he himself is also outstanding. He was quite promising as early as his adolescence, and together with Chen Sanli (a famous poet in the late Qing Dynasty, the son of Hunan Governor Chen Baozhen, and the father of the famous scholar Chen Yinke), and Tan Sitong (an important figure in the Hundred Days Reform, the son of Hubei Governor Tan Jixun), he was known as the "Three Young Masters of Hunan and Hunan". . In the 28th year of Guangxu's reign (1902), he passed the imperial examination at the age of 22. In the 30th year of Guangxu's reign, he became the only Huiyuan scholar among Hunan scholars in the entire Qing Dynasty.The plane is different from the past. In addition to the thin and small plane before, there is also a fat man.
"Just when everyone was surprised, a fat man headed by a skinny plane headed straight towards the Military Uniform Bureau in the Lotus Pond. After hovering over the Military Uniform Bureau for a week, the fat man dropped a 500-kilogram giant bomb from a height of three to four hundred meters. I saw a large column of black smoke rising straight into the sky, and then the earth trembled violently, and loud rumbling noises were heard, as if the end of the world was coming.
Tan Yankai fell to the ground when he heard the explosion: There are more than 10,000 rifles and more than 3 million rounds of ammunition in the Military Uniform Bureau, which is almost the entire property of the Hunan Army. Now that the losses are all over and the army is basically left bare-handed, how can we fight this battle? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
