In modern Chinese history, Zhang Taiyan and Yuan Shikai, two influential figures, interweave scenes of grievances and resentments. Their story began with Zhang Taiyan's early support for Yuan Shikai, but went to a different trajectory in the flames of revolution.
In October 1911, the Wuchang Uprising broke out, and Zhang Taiyan returned to the motherland from Japan with enthusiasm for democracy. However, his erroneous theories became a burden to history. In Shanghai, he put forward the slogan "Revolutionary army rises, revolutionary party disappears", advocated Washington-style authoritarian rule, and set his sights on Yuan Shikai, then prime minister of the Qing Dynasty.
After Yuan Shikai became the leader of the new Republic of China, he appointed Zhang Taiyan as a senior adviser to the presidential office, which seemed to be a cooperative worker, but in fact it was the beginning of a period of doomed disagreement. Zhang Taiyan's disappointment with Yuan Shikai gradually deepened, believing that Yuan Shikai was a careerist. In order to get rid of Zhang Taiyan, who was difficult to control, Yuan Shikai sent him to the northeast as a border envoy in an attempt to move the tiger away from the mountain.
In March 1913, Yuan Shikai sent people to assassinate the revolutionary Song Jiaoren, an incident that became the trigger for Zhang Taiyan to recognize Yuan Shikai's true face. Zhang Taiyan returned to the south and sought support in the struggle against Yuan Shikai, but to no avail. Yuan Shikai suppressed the "second revolution" of the southern revolutionaries, which brought Zhang Taiyan's hatred of him to a peak.
At the besieged Republican headquarters, Zhang Taiyan showed a firm attitude of defiance. He not only bravely confronted the gendarmerie, but also repeatedly expressed his hatred for Yuan Shikai. During this time, his life was full of struggle and anger, shouting to the gendarmes: "Yuan dog was driven away by me." ”
However, Yuan Shikai did not let Zhang Taiyan go easily. In order to win him over, Yuan Shikai sent someone to send 500 yuan, but was rejected by Zhang Taiyan and angrily counterattacked. Zhang Taiyan did not hide his hatred, and roared at Yuan Shikai's lackeys: "You Yuan Shikai's lackeys quickly Lao Tzu!" ”
Yuan Shikai's plan to restore the imperial system made Zhang Taiyan's anger even more intense. He rejected Yuan Shikai's gentle tactics and preferred to go on hunger strike in protest. In order to maintain stability, Yuan Shikai sent a doctor to monitor Zhang Taiyan. Zhang Taiyan's students also came to persuade him, and he ended his hunger strike.
However, the hatred for Yuan Shikai has not diminished. After being harassed by Yuan Shikai, Zhang Taiyan decided to venture south to join the Dharma Protector Movement. He died in 1936 at the age of 67, 20 years after Yuan Shikai's death. Two allies who once had a deep friendship ended up on very different paths in life.
