On July 6, 1907, a major event occurred: Anhui Inspector Enming was assassinated by the revolutionary Xu Xilin while presiding over the graduation ceremony of the Anhui Higher Patrol Police Academy. The imperial court official who belonged to Zheng Erpin was assassinated in broad daylight, which caused a great sensation in the government and the public.
What made the Qing officials even more afraid was that Xu Xilin confessed during interrogation: "After killing Enming, I would kill Duanfang, Tieliang, and Liangbi to avenge the Han people." That is to say, in Xu Xilin's assassination list, in addition to Enming, there are also 3 Eight Banner Ministers: Duanfang, Tieliang, and Liangbi.
Xu Xilin
Duan Fang was born in 1861, the character Noon Bridge, Manchurian Zhengbai banner people. Although Duan Fang only began to become an official at the age of 28, under the trust of the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi, his career was smooth and his promotions were frequent, and he successively served as the governor of Hubei, the governor of Huguang, the governor of Hunan, the governor of Jiangsu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the governor of zhili, and was also sent by the imperial court to Europe and the United States to investigate and prepare for the constitution.
Tie Liang was born in 1863, the character Baochen, Manchurian white flag people. Tie Liang once served as Rong Lu's staff member, assisting in military affairs, and was known as a "zhi soldier". It was under the recommendation of Rong Lu that Tie Liang came to prominence in the political arena, successively serving as a military attendant, a Hubu Shangshu, and a military minister.
Tie Liang
Liangbi was born in 1877, the character Ofechen, Manchurian Yellow Banner man. Liangbi was a rising star among the Eight Banner Ministers at the end of the Qing Dynasty, very young, and had the experience of studying in the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, becoming a brand new military talent, cultivated and reused by the imperial court.
After Xu Xilin killed Enming, he was arrested and righteous. Duan Fang, Tie Liang, and Liang Bi dodged Xu Xilin's gun, but what happened later?
Let's start with the end.
End-side
In 1911, Duan Fang was appointed as the Minister of Supervision of the Sichuan-Han Cantonese-Han Railway, responsible for the construction of the Sichuan-Han Railway and the Cantonese-Han Railway. At that time, under the leadership of Shangshu ShengXuanhuai of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, the Qing court planned to nationalize the private railways in Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei and other places, which provoked the people of the three places to launch the "Road Protection Movement". Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan, sent troops to suppress it, resulting in the "Chengdu Bloody Case".
As the situation became increasingly difficult to control, the Qing court sent Duan Fang to lead the Hubei New Army into Sichuan, and removed Zhao Erfeng from his post as governor of Sichuan, replacing him with Duan Fang. After Duan Fang took away the Hubei New Army, Hubei's military strength was empty, leading to the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising. On November 27, the Hubei New Army led by Duan Fang launched a mutiny in Zizhou, Sichuan, killing Duan Fang and his brother Duan Jin. Duan Fang was 50 years old at the time.
Look at Tie Liang again.
Tie Liang served as the general of Jiangning at the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising. The Wuchang uprising was like a spark that sparked a fire throughout the country. Independence was proclaimed everywhere, and Qing rule was crumbling. Together with Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, Tie Liang intended to rely on Zhang Xun's forces to resist to the end. However, the mantis arm is a car, and their actions are futile. Late one night not long ago, Tie Liang and Zhang Renjun escaped from Nanjing overnight, escaped to a Japanese warship moored on the Shimonoseki River, and quietly hid in Shanghai.
Wuchang Uprising
Tie Liang was a member of the old system of the Qing court who was firmly defending. In 1912, Tie Liang returned to the capital from Shanghai and joined the Sectarian Socialist Party composed of eight banner nobles such as Zaixun, Zaitao, Zairun, Puwei, Liangbi, and Yinchang, in an attempt to maintain Qing rule. However, the general trend of the world is vast, and the collapse of the Qing court's rule has become inevitable.
On February 12, 1912, with the issuance of three abdication edicts by the last emperor Puyi and Empress Longyu, the Qing Dynasty was declared dead. Tie Liang fled the capital and traveled to Tianjin, Qingdao, Dalian and other places, actively participating in the restoration operation. In 1931, Japan supported Puyi and established the so-called "Manchukuo", and Tie Liang also enthusiastically participated.
In 1938, Tie Liang died of illness at the gordon Road Apartment in the British Concession of Tianjin at the age of 75.
Finally, look at Liangbi.
Good bow
Liangbi became a powerful figure in the army in the late Qing Dynasty, and was in charge of the Forbidden Army as the first commander of the Janissaries and the Minister of Training. In 1909, the Qing court followed the practice of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters and established the Military Advisory Office, with Zaitao as the Minister of Military Consultancy. Zaitao did not understand anything, and obeyed Liangbi's advice in everything, and Liangbi became the de facto minister of military advice.
After the Outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, Yuan Xiangcheng was appointed and Liangbi was relieved of his position in the Janissaries. Unwilling to accept defeat, Liangbi participated in the formation of the Sectarian Socialist Party, threatening to "reorganize the soldiers and horses and fight the southern revolutionary party to the death." Because Liangbi behaved too high-profile, he became the target of assassination by the revolutionaries.
Unbeknownst to Liangbi, the God of Death had quietly approached him.
On January 26, 1912, liangbi took a palanquin home after participating in the proceedings of the Sectarian Socialist Party. At the door of the mansion, Liangbi had just stepped out of the palanquin, and a young man dressed in a Qing officer's uniform greeted him and blocked him while handing him a business card. Liangbi felt something different and was about to flee, only to see the youth take a bomb from his arms and throw it on Liangbi. With a loud noise, LiangBi fell into a pool of blood...
Peng Jiazhen
Two days later, Liangbi died of his wounds at the age of 35. Before dying, Liangbi lamented: "The one who blew me up, the real hero, the court does not know me, but this person knows me, and the true man knows himself." When I die, so does the Great Qing. ”
By the way, the young man who assassinated Liangbi was named Peng Jiazhen, who was also killed in the explosion and was only 24 years old.
