Why did the famous Beiyang general "Xu Shuzheng", who recovered Outer Mongolia, not have a good ending
Xu Shuzheng was appointed as the Northwest Frontier Envoy on June 13, 1919, and was dismissed from his post on July 4, 1920, during which he went to Outer Mongolia three times, the first time from October 23, 1919 to November 24, 1919, of which he stayed in Cullen for 22 days, mainly to solve the problem of withdrawal, and forced the Monastic ruling group of Outer Mongolia to submit a petition for removal to President Xu Shichang by means of vigorous means; the second was from December 27, 1919 to January 24, 1920, mainly handling various matters of withdrawal. The third time was from May 10, 1920, when he was recalled from Kulun by Duan Qirui, from May 10, 1920, when he really began to run Outer Mongolia.
However, Xu Shuzheng was in the north of the desert and his heart was in Beijing, and as the situation changed, he hastily ended his short-lived business in Foreign Mongolia in June 1920 and threw himself into the struggle against his immediate family. After Xu Shuzheng was dismissed, the merchants of Outer Mongolia were worried, and on July 8, 1920, the Kyakhta Chamber of Commerce called the President, the Prime Minister, the Ministers- general of the ministries, and the Senate and the House of Representatives, imploring to revoke Xu Shuzheng's dismissal. The central government changed Xu Chipbian envoys, and the people and others listened to it, but they were stunned and reckless, and if a great disaster was coming, they would win the pain of the skin! ...... Xu makes the advance and retreat of one person related to the gains and losses of Mongolia and the life and death of all the peoples... Xu makes the change, and in outer Mongolia, it is like a lost pillar in the middle... Abandoning Xu Envoy is no different from abandoning Outer Mongolia... Abandoning the territory of reconstruction, I am afraid that it is not the blessing of the country! But Xu Shichang, the disgruntled president of the Anhui dynasty, turned a deaf ear to this. After Xu Shuzheng left, Chen Yi took his place, and this civilian official failed to protect Outer Mongolia, and soon Outer Mongolia was taken away by the White Russian officer Enqin and the Mongolian People's Party supported by Soviet Russia.
Xu Shuzheng made a special phone call to Sun Yat-sen in Shanghai after completing the withdrawal of the rule, and Sun Yat-sen called back to congratulate him, comparing him with Chen Tang, Ban Chao, and Fu Jiezi of the Han Dynasty. Liang Shiyi, a politically opposed transport official to Xu Shuzheng, also wrote to praise Xu Shuzheng for "braved the snow to march north, protect the country and security, and painstakingly and far-sightedly, which was fascinating."
After Xu Shuzheng recovered Outer Mongolia, he not only vigorously promoted vegetable cultivation for long-term planning, but also built highways, banks, newspapers, and schools in Outer Mongolia, and went all out to promote Chinese-oriented education. If you can take time, there will be great gains under the subtlety. Unfortunately, history did not give him a long time after all. Xu Shuzheng also built a Western tennis court in The capital of Outer Mongolia, Kulun, and often played tennis with his subordinate officials and officials in his spare time, and laughed that this was a "unique keju", which was quite the style and pride of the Generals of shubian in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Xu Shuzheng shot Lu Jianzhang, and his nephew Feng Yuxiang took revenge
When Lu Jianzhang arrived in 1918, Xu Shuzheng was eating. When Yang Yuting heard Lu Jianzhang come to see him, he said to Xu Shuzheng, "This person is very hateful, kill him!" He scolded in passing: "The old bastard is looking for death again!" After Lu Jianzhang entered, he saw xu Shuzheng eating, so he asked, "Why did you eat at this time?" Xu Shuzheng replied, "Just came back from outside." Lu Jianzhang asked again, "Where do you come back from?" Xu Shuzheng replied, "I came back from Dan Chen (Ni Sichong). Lu Jianzhang immediately had a look of displeasure on his face. Yang Yuting and Lu Jianzhang first went to the living room to talk, and before long, Xu Shuzheng asked Lu Jianzhang to go to the garden and shoot him. After he killed Lu Jianzhang, he sent a telegram accusing Lu Jianzhang of "colluding with bandits and chaotic parties, inciting the army, and trying to advocate chaos" in order to justify his assassination operation, and Duan Qirui did not pursue it. But the one who hated this matter the most was Lu Jianzhang's niece and son-in-law Feng Yuxiang, although Xu Shuzheng sent a telegram to stabilize Feng Yuxiang after killing Lu Jianzhang, but he tasted the bitter fruit seven years later. Although Xu Shuzheng was killed on December 30, 1925, not only because of the Lu Jianzhang case, Feng Yuxiang's disguise was using Lu Chengwu to avenge his father, killing Xu Shuzheng at the age of 45. It can be seen that the fatal consequences of Lu Jianzhang's case on Xu Shuzheng can be seen.
