Xia Shoutian talks about Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang

For the Duan faction, Yuan Shikai mainly isolated and suppressed

Duan Qirui was rigid and assertive, and usually did not accept Xiangcheng (i.e., Yuan Shikai). When the army is long, with regard to the advance and retreat of officers, Heng acts in the name of the chief of the army without asking for instructions; most of those who have knowledge are subordinate to their students, and they are hidden as a force, and those who are comparable to Duan in the old beiyang department will not be able to do so at this time. As a result, Xiang Cheng gradually felt that Duan Zhi was good at it, and the Grand Duke (Yuan Keding) was particularly jealous of it, and he was not a young lord and subject with his pity. The Government Affairs Hall was established, the Military Department of the Presidential Office was transformed into an army and navy command office, With Duan Qirui (army chief), Liu Guanxiong (chief of the navy), Chen Mi (deputy chief of staff, acting chief), Sa Zhenbing (elder of the navy), Wang Shizhen (the head of the Beiyang Three Jies), and Cai Yi (formerly the southwestern powerful faction) as clerks, Tang Zaili as the director of the general affairs department, Zhang Shiyu as deputy director, Yao Baolai, Jiang Fangzhen, Chen Yi, Cheng Biguang, Zhang Yijue, Yao Hongfa, Qin Shifan, and Tang Baochao as senators, and Zhang Houhuan, Liu Bangji, and Gong Guangming as the walkers. On the surface, the three departments of the army, the sea, and the general staff were gathered to coordinate the military, but in fact the power of the war department was reduced. By October of the third year, there was another model group.

Well-equipped Beiyang Army

The motivation for organizing the model group was based on Jiang Fangzhen's article Chen. Jiang took the Beiyang army's twilight spirit too heavy, thought of another organization, and as a model, suggested that a model division preparatory office be set up under the command office. Two divisions are trained first, with international students for intermediate officers, and junior officers and accelerated students. Gai Yichang has always reused the purpose of quick success and eliminating international students. Keding had no deep relationship with the old Beiyang army, especially for the generals who could not command, and they had long had the intention of training troops and establishing a new force to counter the old forces. Chen Guangyuan, Lu Jin, and others tended to be under The Keding, and Yu (Xia claimed to be) also participated in one of them. In Xiangcheng himself, on the one hand, the Beiyang army was too heavy, believing that when the new army was organized, it was like the story of the Huai Army following the Xiang Army and the Xiaozhan Relaying the Huai Army; on the other hand, he wanted to cultivate new forces for his son, so he used Chiang's Article Chen to set up a model regiment similar to the officers' teaching regiment. The regimental commander Xiang Chengzi was concurrently, and Chen Guangyuan was the deputy of the regiment (protected by Ke Ding). The organizers were Wang Shizhen, Yuan Keding, Zhang Jingyao, and Chen Guangyuan. The regiment's headquarters is located in Xicheng Suntan Temple, and the regiment headquarters is located in Beihai. The soldiers are drawn by the lower officers of each division, and the middle and higher-ranking officers of each division are the lower officers of the regiment. For the purpose of training officers of the Tenth Division, it is divided into five phases, one every six months, and each period can produce officers of the New Army of the Fourth Brigade. In the second phase, Yuan Keding was made the regimental commander and Lu Jin was the deputy regimental deputy (Keding Shoubao), and a group of students at or above the middle school level were selected to cooperate with the lower-level officers of each division for training. So step by step, all of them were based on the system of duan, so Duan had to resign and was dismissed from office on August 29, 2004 of the Republic of China.

For the Feng faction, Yuan Shikai mainly deceived

In this regard, the only one who should be involved with Duan is Feng Guozhang. Feng Is approachable, has an inner heart, Yuan, Feng relationship and Duan, etc. On June 22, Feng went to Beijing (Liang Qichao had traveled from Guangdong to Nanjing) to pay tribute to Yuan and talked about the imperial system, which Yuan firmly denied. Feng reported to Liang, as Yuan Feng talked, and published the Asia Minor newspaper. The following day, the Presidential Office published the same text, which reads as follows:

Feng Yan: "The imperial movement, the rumors in the south are quite popular. ”

Yuan Yan: "Hua Fu (Feng Zizi), you and I have been together for many years, don't you understand my heart?" I think there are two reasons for the rumors: First, many people say that our country has suddenly adopted a republican system, and the chinese people are not strong enough, so they want me to pay more responsibility. Second, the New Testament law stipulates that the president has the right to award knighthoods, so some people think that it is the precursor to reforming the state system, but the Manchus, Mongolians, and Hui can all be knighted, and how can those who have meritorious service in the Republic of China lose this right? These are all windless arguments. ”

After a pause, Yuan said, "HuaFu, you and I are from our own family, and my heart may as well tell you what is the difference between my current status and that of the emperor, and the responsibility for being the emperor is nothing more than counting ears for my descendants." My eldest son is disabled, my second wants to be a celebrity, my third is not up to the times, and the rest are young, how can I pay the weight of the world? Moreover, the imperial family has never achieved good results, and even if I am counting for my descendants, I will not harm them. ”

Feng Yan: "Yes, the southerners are confused about the president's heart, but china will turn weak to strong in the future, then when the sky and people return, although the president is humble and condescending, I am afraid that he will not be able to push it." ”

Yuan Boran changed color and said, "What words?" I have a child studying in London, and I have asked him to buy a thin property there, and if someone presses me again, I will make it my coat and never ask about state affairs. ”

Since Feng talked to Yuan, he believed that the imperial system would not happen. This time Feng was in Beijing, Yuan Youli prepared for it, and Guju one or two: One day, I (Xia claimed to be) had breakfast with Yuan, and there was cow cheese, and Yuan Ling sent a telegram to ask General Feng Shang if he got up early and sent this bowl of cow cheese. Saying that General Feng likes to eat, the president is eating this morning, so he remembered the general and specially sent it. Another day, at lunch with Yuan, there was a large bowl of braised pork bladders, Yuan said: "This is what Hua Fu loves to eat", and ordered the messenger to send a telegram to General Feng Shang to wait for dinner, and the president sent dishes. Accompanied by the first four of the big buns, he said that today's lunch, he knew that the general loved to eat this dish, so he sent it. He also gave a lot of gifts to Lady Zhou (Zhou Zhen, character Daoru, Lady Feng Guozhang). Feng felt that the president was his own family, so he was considerate.

Feng returned to Nanjing on July 9 and launched the Preparatory Committee on August 14, less than two months apart. Feng Shang thought it was not true, and Zhang Yilu, director of the Confidential Information Bureau, did not believe it, and zhang Chu did not believe it, so he replied with "there is a reason for the incident". The government, such as Duan Zhigui and Zhang Zhenfang, sent people to Ning to lobby one after another. Feng Nai was suddenly deceived by Yuan Zhi, and his attitude toward Yuan changed suddenly, giving himself the greatest resistance to the imperial system.
