In 1918, during the Battle of the Protector of the Law, Cheng Biguang, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, was killed on the banks of the Haizhu River. The protectors of the Fa provinces all sighed in unison, and Sun Yat-sen felt even deeper regret. Afterwards, the military government and the Guangdong political circles offered a reward for the arrest of the murderer, but in the end they could not solve the case, and it was rumored that the "Department of Political Science" colluded with the "Lu Rongting Department" to jointly buy the murderer's deeds. When the military government changed the marshal to the president system, and Sun Yat-sen left Guangzhou for Shanghai, this group of warlord politicians finally turned the future of the protector of the law into a bleak. Cheng Biguang, Zi Hengqi, Bei Yu Tang, Xiangshan people. His father Pei Fang, who failed to do business in the United States, was nine years old, flew across the ocean with his fellow villagers, went to the province to see, stayed in the United States for two years, his father died, and the coffin returned to Guangdong for burial. At the age of sixteen, he and his brother Kui Guang entered the Mawei Marine Division Academy, and after graduation, they were sent to yangwu warships, as trainees, accumulating funds to move the Guangbing ship pipe belt, Beiyang Huicao, Bi Guangchong as the leader, and taking the same as "Guangjia" and "Guangyi". When the Sino-Japanese war broke out, Bi Guang wrote to Li Hongzhang, the minister of Beiyang, asking him to lead his ship to the former enemy. The Battle of Dadonggou Bi Guang was sent to cover the army's combat, standing at the bow of the Guangjia ship to fight, from morning to noon, the abdomen was cut through the shrapnel, the blood was full of pants, he did not feel it, still shouted to kill, and then survived, idle in Xiangshan for two years.
At that time, Sun Yat-sen was engaged in revolution, self-concealment by medicine, Bi Guang occasionally sought medical treatment due to illness, because they knew each other, Sun Yat-sen invited him to participate, and he and Zhiguang joined the Xingzhong Association at the same time. The first Guangzhou uprising failed, and Bi Guang fled overseas. Kui Guang was the pipe belt of the Zhentao ship in charge of the sports water division, the incident was arrested, the Qing officials because he was "as a functioning official", first used military sticks to torture and extort confessions, Kui Guang scolded incessantly, was beaten to death by six hundred military sticks, and Lu Dong, Qiu Si, Zhu Gui, and called "four martyrs". Therefore, Bi Guang and Sun Yat-sen are worthy of the friendship of "Buyi Kunji". Subsequently, the Qing court sent him to supervise the construction of the warships "Haixi" and "Haitian", both of which were carefully designed by him and moved to the second director of the Department of the Admiralty. In the spring of xinhai (three years after the declaration of reunification), Zai Zhenbeizi was sent to England, and He Xinwang was crowned, that is, he used the "Haixi" as a ship, and went to the United States, Cuba, and other places to comfort the overseas Chinese.
After the Xinhai Revolution, Bi Guang returned from the United States, and Yuan Shikai took power and planned to summon him, but because he did not agree with Liu Guanxiong, the chief of the navy, he resigned. In the following year, he was appointed as an adviser to the Presidential Office and was changed to the Army and Navy Command Office.
Before the "Preparatory Committee" was raised, he knew that Old Yuan was not addicted to the presidency and had to "live in the family world". He was a native of Guangdong and was subject to much suspicion in the north, and he only looked obedient, and took feeding birds, planting flowers, and planting vegetables as regular lessons every day, of course, only "for self-obscurity". From his book to his friends, there are words that "self-hatred does not die early and die quickly", and how indignant and heavy his mood was at this time. Yuan Shikai also knew that this Cantonization would not be used for him in the end.
In the autumn of 1915, he was sent to inspect the national arsenal, and he took the opportunity to go south. Less than three months after leaving, Yuan Shikai actually changed the yuan, and within twenty-two days, he collapsed and died in shame. Li Yuanhong succeeded to the throne and appointed Bi Guang as the chief of the sea car. Li Ben was born in the Navy, and Bi Guang was a colleague, and he wanted to focus on rectifying the Navy, so he appointed a very specialized, and after Bi Guang took over the incident, he was quite able to straighten out his body and materials and avoid luxury and laziness.
In February 1917, the renunciation of diplomatic relations with Germany was announced, and in April, Duan Qirui nei, and against Germany, the National Assembly did not agree, Duan summoned the provincial overseers to Beijing, consulted with the Zhou yuan, most of the cabinet members, there was a fear of Duan, more echoed Duan's proposal. Inquiring about Cheng Biguang, Bi Lao said: When the republic of the state system is based on obeying the will of the people, it should not be decided by the cabinet. The so-called "Overseers" went up to the National Assembly to ask for the liberation of the National Assembly, and then purchased the general city and beggars and other so-called "citizens' groups", and went to the Senate to rush into the trouble, and the crowd was indignant. Bi Guang watched them make too much of a fuss, and resigned at once, and the ministers of various ministries who were slightly self-loved also begged to leave, and Li Yuanhong ordered that Duan Qirui be relieved of his post as prime minister and that Wu Yanfang, the chief of foreign affairs, be the prime minister.
After the dispute between the government and the court became superficial, it caused the independence of the Overseer Corps, and Ni Vice Chong rebelled against Anhui, followed by Yang Shande and Qi Yaoshan of Zhejiang, Zhao Qian, Tian Wenlie, zhang Jingyao of Henan, Cao Kun, Zhu Jiabao, Feng Guozhang, and Zhang Huaizhi of Shandong; Fujian Li Houji, Hu Ruilin, Hubei Wang Zhanyuan, Fengtian Zhang Zuolin, Jilin Meng Enyuan, Heilongjiang Bi Guifang, Shaanxi Chen Shufan, and so on became independent, and Ni Sichong sent Ni Yufen to lead the army to Bo Fengtai. When Bi Guang saw that things were urgent, he instructed Lin Baoyi, commander of the First Fleet, to lead the ship to a meeting in Tianjin, set up a general staff office, and push Xu Shichang to be the grand marshal. On June 4, Bi Guang entered the palace to see Li and said: "Such a remnant of a warlord, raising an army to force the capital, the president should temporarily avoid his front; In the southwestern provinces, non-Beiyang forces can be caught, Bi Guang is willing to lead the fleet, under the great president to the south, calling for rebellion against Li Kui's indecision, Bi Guang asked for a quick plan, Li Cai reluctantly confided, and asked the centralized fleet to wait for the order to go out. Bi Guang heard the order, and went to Shanghai on the ninth day, discussed with Lin Baoyi and the captains of the ships to discuss the thief, and went to Sun Yat-sen to ask for instructions, and on the twelfth day, the Northern Court dissolved the Parliament, and the two Guangdong were electrified.
Zhang Xun fished in muddy waters and seized the opportunity to plot puyi's restoration, Li Yuanhong avoided entering the embassy circle and heard of the change, and sent three ships to greet him, and Jin Yongyan, secretary of the presidential office, told Li that he had resigned and sent a telegram to Feng Guozhang as acting president. Bi Guangnei Feng stopped, Feng did not listen, Bi Guangnai announced that the thieves sent the "Haichen" and "Ying Rui" ships to Guangdong, and he and Lin Baoyi, Tang Shao, and others took seven ships to the south, and Liu Guanxiong and Sa Zhenbing could not resist. In August, members of the two chambers went south one after another, and in September they convened an "extraordinary meeting" to elect Sun Zhong as grand marshal and Lu Rongting and Tang Jiyao as marshals to form a military government. At that time, Duan Qirui used the merits of the factory to form a cabinet again, and Cheng Dian's Advice duan clan advised: the demand for a declaration of war was so endless that it beat up the parliamentarians; Beat up the members of parliament until the parliament is dissolved; The dissolution of the National Assembly, to the point of restoring the Puppet Qing Dynasty; Wouldn't it be better to be a one-man to defend his throne, to summon a terrible calamity, and to achieve a real reward?
After the establishment of the military government, Bi Guang still served as the chief of the navy, aiding Changsha and seeking long jiguang, all of which were planned by him. However, Tang Jiyao and Lu Rongting did not have any far-reaching plans, and after the military government was restructured into president, the politicians of the "Department of Political Science" broadcast during the broadcast, and the Cantonese people planned to support Biguang to supervise Guangdong, so Biguang died! On the day of death, there were 230,000 yuan left in the navy's extra-salary funds, and the wills were all returned to the public.
