Talking about the influence of the warlord Feng Yuxiang and the expulsion of Puyi, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, from the Forbidden City, on Chinese history
After the outbreak of the Second Zhifeng War, Feng Yuxiang's defection led to the disastrous defeat of the warlords directly under his direct line. On October 23, 1924, Feng Yuxiang staged a coup d'état in Beijing, and cao Kun, the leader of the warlords, was imprisoned. Cao Kun's government was completely overthrown. The last emperor, Puyi, was also expelled from the Forbidden City. The repeal of the Treaty of Preferential Treatment of the Royal Family. Regarding Feng Yuxiang's expulsion of Puyi, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, from the Forbidden City, the reactions from all walks of life were mixed. It is said that this move was the direct cause of Puyi being used by the Japanese and becoming a puppet Manchurian emperor.
During the Xinhai Revolution
The Xinhai Revolution was led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and the realization of the "Three People's Principles" mainly refers to a series of revolutionary movement events launched between 1911 and the beginning of 1912 AD.
The Xinhai Revolution was a great national democratic revolution in China's modern history. The Manchu Qing dynasty was overthrown. The feudal monarchy that ruled China for thousands of years was completely overthrown. At the same time, it also gave the imperialist aggressive forces a heavy slap in the face.
Although the Xinhai Revolution ended in failure, it still played a certain role in promoting and influencing the emancipation of the Chinese nation's ideology and the transformation of Chinese society.
Republic of China period
After the Xinhai Revolution, a democratic republic was established in January 1912, referred to as the Republic of China.
The revolutionary party led by Sun Yat-sen established the Provisional Government in Nanjing. Dr. Sun Yat-sen was elected as the interim president by the representatives of all parties. Later, Sun Yat-sen resigned as interim president, and Yuan Shikai was officially appointed president of the Republic of China.
Yuan Shikai forced the palace, and the Qing Emperor had no choice but to abdicate
After the victory of the Xinhai Revolution, the Beiyang warlord Yuan Shikai germinated ambitions to become the president of the Republic of China. In order to achieve this goal, he used the Qing government as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the revolutionary army. Yuan Shikai threatened Xuantong that if he did not automatically abdicate, the revolutionary army would storm the city of Beijing! If he agreed to abdicate, the title of emperor could still be preserved. Moreover, you can not leave the Forbidden City, and you can also enjoy the preferential treatment provided by the government.
Since the Opium War, the economy of the Qing Dynasty has long been in crisis. China has gradually degenerated from an independent country to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
In this situation of internal and external difficulties, the Qing government also felt that the situation in the future was becoming more and more difficult to control. Abdicating now also guarantees generous treatment and the title of emperor. So promise to abdicate.
Promulgated the Edict of abdication of the Qing Emperor and signed the Preferential Conditions for the Qing Dynasty
On February 12, 1912 (December 25, the third year of the Qing Dynasty' reunification), the Provisional Government of Nanjing and the Qing Government reached an agreement. Officially promulgated. The abdication of the Qing Emperor heralded the end of the official proclamation of the feudal imperial system that had existed in China for more than two thousand years.
In the "Edict of abdication of the Qing Emperor", it is mentioned that the provisional republican government was organized, and Yuan Shikai was designated to be solely responsible, which just paved the way for Yuan Shikai's later restoration.
Feng Yuxiang launched a coup d'état in Beijing and pseudo-president Cao Kun was imprisoned
Feng Yuxiang was an important general in the direct army, but he was ostracized by Wu Peifu and others everywhere, and he felt dissatisfied and depressed.
In 1923, the warlord Cao Kun was elected president of the Republic of China through bribery. He took control of the Beiyang government. Under the influence of Sun Yat-sen, Feng Yuxiang decided to defect to Cao Kun.
In October 1924, the Second Zhifeng War broke out, and Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Third Army of the Direct Army. Taking advantage of the indissoluble confrontation between the two sides, he temporarily defected and led his army back to Beijing. A coup d'état was launched, and the pseudo-president Cao Kun was ousted, and the government of Cao Kun, who was directly related to cao kun, came to an end.
Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City
Feng Yuxiang had always hated the feudal monarchy, and in 1917, he participated in the crusade against Zhang Xun's restoration. In his view, if the feudal imperial system is to be eradicated, it is necessary to cut the grass and remove the roots. Driving Puyi out of the Forbidden City is a must-do thing. And deal with it as soon as possible.
After the successful coup d'état in Beijing, after the seizure of power in Beijing. After discussion with the Regency Cabinet, Feng Yuxiang unanimously agreed to revise the "Preferential Conditions for Qing Rooms". 1. With immediate effect, the title of Emperor xuantong of the Qing Dynasty shall be abolished forever. 2. Reduce the amount of subsidies granted by the Government of the Republic of China to clean up the house. 3. Immediately move out of the Forbidden City and find your own accommodation. 4. The tombs of the Jongmyo Temple in the Qing Dynasty are forever enshrined and protected by the republic of China government. 5. When moving out, private property may be taken away, and public property shall be owned by the government of the Republic of China.
As for Feng Yuxiang's expulsion of Puyi from the palace, Sun Yat-sen supported and approved of it. Duan Qirui and some of the old courtiers of the Qing Dynasty were very dissatisfied with this move.
Puyi's expulsion from the Forbidden City had an impact on Chinese history
When the qing emperor's abdication edict was signed, it received widespread attention from all over the country and the international community. Feng Yuxiang so easily abrogated such an important treaty, and some people felt that this was a manifestation of disbelief. This has seriously affected the credibility of the Government of the Republic of China. Some people say that Feng Yuxiang expelled Puyi from the palace, which is to push Puyi to the opposite side of the government. This move gave the Japanese a good chance to take advantage of it. He became a sinner who divided the country and the nation.
In fact, objectively speaking, General Feng Yuxiang's expulsion of Puyi from the palace still has more advantages than disadvantages. In a sense, the signing of the preferential conditions for the abdication of the Qing Emperor is a small tail left by some people with ulterior motives in order to achieve their personal goals and realize the dream of restoring the emperor. General Feng Yuxiang's move is absolutely correct in the general direction and has played a positive role in promoting the development of democracy and the republican system.
