The Republic is so violent

Chapter 125: The World Is in Chaos (2)
Mr. Jia treats Hou Shuani's son as his own.The day when Hou Shuanni remarried to Mr. Jia was the happiest time for her son.When the child was a teenager, he was sent to a hotel as an apprentice, and his main duty was to empty the urine pot for the proprietress.

Ever since the child arrived at the hotel, he has been hard-working, willing to bear the burden of hard work, and took care of all the work in the hotel.Someone said at the time: Three fellows are not as good as one Zhang Zongchang.

The proprietress replied: The appetite of the three guys is not as big as that of one Zhang Zongchang.

That's right, this kid's name is Zhang Zongchang, a rare musical genius, a big-bellied eater, and a romantic figure full of romance and legend in the Republic of China era.

05 Chinese bosses in Vladivostok
I have been an apprentice in a hotel for several years. Although Zhang Zongchang worked hard, the proprietress became more and more harsh, and she didn’t even let him have enough food. I don’t blame the proprietress. Can eat two big pots.In desperation, Zhang Zongchang decided to go to the Guandong, try his luck in the three eastern provinces, and see if he could make a fortune.

In 1899, Zhang Zongchang went to Yingkou, Liaoning, and worked as a worker on the Middle East Railway. The boss was a Russian.At this time, Zhang Zongchang showed another amazing talent. His memory was terrifying. Although he couldn’t understand every word the Russian guy said, he remembered it clearly. In less than a week, he was able to communicate with the Russian boss. Conversation is fluent.

At this time, after the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], Japanese forces had entered the three eastern provinces. In order to lure tigers and wolves away, the imperial court called the Russians to fight the Japanese in the three eastern provinces. This was the so-called Russo-Japanese War.Faced with the aggressiveness of the little-nosed Japanese, the big-nosed Russian was in urgent need of an interpreter, so Zhang Zongchang was immediately reused by the Russians, and was given a super serious task-let him go to the bandit's lair and persuade a man surnamed Wang Redbeard surrendered and beat the Japanese for the Russians.

The idiot Zhang Zongchang really went there, shot single-handedly, went deep into the tiger's den, and miraculously persuaded the bandit Wang, so the Russians paid for the guns, armed the bandit Wang, and pushed him out to die.Some historians suspect that for the unfortunate Bandit Wang, his opponent is likely to be Zhang Zuolin, who was armed with money and guns from the Japanese. Therefore, Bandit Wang was extremely unlucky and was expelled from the rivers and lakes in World War I.

In a word, the so-called Russo-Japanese War, if you put it bluntly, it really makes people feel emotional. It was just that the Russians and the Japanese paid separately to recruit the Chinese to fight.

The bandits Wang was wiped out, and the Russians were very angry. At this time, it was too late to find the bandits, so they simply put the ducks on the shelf, and said to Zhang Zongchang: You can do it, we will pay for the guns, and you can recruit people .

This year, Zhang Zongchang was just 24 years old, and has since become Zhang Dutong.

After fighting for the Russians for a few days, the Russians suddenly declared defeat and decided to disband Zhang Zongchang's troops. The method of disbanding was that each soldier would be paid three months' salary and travel expenses 70 rubles.After Zhang Zongchang distributed the money to the soldiers, he has since become a demobilized soldier.

But what career should I change to?

After much deliberation, Zhang Zongchang went to Vladivostok and took up the post of security manager in the Chinese business nightclub on Aleuskaya Street. Since then, he has dominated both black and white and became a well-known local boss.For all the bearded bandits who are on the run, when they come to Vladivostok, they must come to Zhang Zongchang to worship the mountain, otherwise they will have nothing to do.

Suddenly one day, two strange people came from Middle Earth. After arriving in Vladivostok, they came to Zhang Zongchang to hand over invitations.It turned out that the revolutionaries sent by Huang Xing and Chen Qimei came here to recruit a bandit named Liu Danzi, and wanted to invite Liu Bandit to return to China to join the revolution.So Zhang Zongchang called Liu Danzi, and as a guarantor, let the Revolutionary Party and Liu Danzi sign a cooperation agreement. At that time, Liu Danzi was awarded the post of cavalry battalion commander.

When the two parties signed the agreement, Zhang Zongchang looked at the fire, thinking that my old Zhang is the boss, this Liu Danzi is not shit, he actually became the commander of the cavalry battalion, I, I, I, I, I want to make a revolution!

So Zhang Zongchang pulled up a team of 800 people, each with a big gun, a small gun, and a horse, willing to participate in the revolution.Huang Xing was very excited when he heard this, and immediately promised to grant Zhang Zongchang the post of commander of the cavalry.So Zhang Zongchang set off from Vladivostok, changed ships by sea in Nagasaki, Japan, and finally arrived in Shanghai.

At this time, it was already 1911, the Revolution of [-] was successful, and Shanghai was restored.The arrival of Zhang Zongchang was a major event in Shanghai at that time, and many media reported it.

After the report, trouble came.There is also a bandit Liu Danzi in front of him. He was awarded the position of commander of the cavalry battalion. Zhang Zongchang suddenly came back here. The official worshiped the commander of the cavalry regiment. The lungs exploded.

06 Black Pot General Zhang Zongchang

He was talking about the second revolution, why did Zhang Zongchang suddenly appear?
This is because, like Yuan Shikai, Zhang Zongchang was a well-known scapegoat general in the history of the Republic of China. The wicked Kuomintang has prepared countless scapegoats, all of which were pinned on this kind and sincere person—for example, this time In the battle of Xuzhou, the Kuomintang prepared a scapegoat for Lao Zhang to bear.

But it is not so easy to take the blame. At least there is another bandit Liu Danzi here, who strongly protested Zhang Zongchang's qualifications to take the blame, thinking that the blame should be taken by himself.

At that time, Liu Tanzi angrily accused Huang Xing of treachery and threatened to return to Vladivostok.

Huang Xing was overjoyed when he learned that Liu Danzi was on fire, and hurriedly agreed to promote Liu Danzi to the commander of the cavalry. At the same time, he sent a secret message to Russia, saying that a large group of bandits was moving towards Vladivostok, and told them to be careful.The Russians immediately deployed military police at the port to prevent Liu Danzi from returning.

From then on, Liu Danzi became a water-lost flood dragon, trapped on the beach, and soon died of depression.

So Zhang Zongchang, the famous black pot general in history, finally ushered in his battle of Xuzhou.

At this time, Zhang Zongchang was affiliated to the Third Division of Jiangsu, and the division commander was Leng Wei, a member of the Kuomintang.When Huang Xing gave the order to fight, he became anxious and said: "Old Huang, you can't fight like this, and this is not the way to fight. My troops haven't gathered yet, and they are all fighting bandits in the four townships. You What do you want me to fight against?

Huang Xing said: "You can't fight like this, you have to fight, you see Zhang Xun's Beiyang army has already come up."

Leng Xun was in a hurry: Yes, yes, Lao Huang, it was Zhang Xun from Beiyang who came. Last time he threw Nanjing to us, he kept suffocating.

Huang Xing said with a smile: "This matter is easy. Wouldn't it be wonderful to wait for me to write a book and let Zhang Xun deal with it as soon as possible?"

So Huang Xing wrote a letter to Zhang Xun, urging him to recognize the situation, turn his gun around as soon as possible, and find a messenger who deserves to be unlucky to send it.The next job is to be cold, and you have to fight if you don't fight.

Leng Xun had no choice but to find Zhang Zongchang, the commander of the cavalry, and said: "Xiao Zhang, let's go, I am optimistic about you, you will definitely win."

Zhang Zongchang is very cunning, he said: Sun Tzu said the art of war, the ancients are good at victors, and those who win easily are also victors.That is to say, we have to take Zhang Xun off guard... While talking, the scouts flew to report: Report, Beiyang Zhang Xun is assembling a team and reporting for the roll call.

Zhang Zongchang was overjoyed, and said: What is the meaning of victory and change?

At this time, Zhang Xun was doing roll call, reporting the number: one, two, three, five, seven, eight... Wrong, June Four was missing... While speaking, before the Beiyang Army learned how to count, Zhang Zongchang's cavalry was already head-on When he came in, the Beiyang army yelled, turned around and left.

Zhang Xun was terrified, he mixed with the team and ran towards the safe zone.He fled far away in one breath, turned around, and scolded his mother angrily: Who is leading the team over there, how could he be so unreasonable?People haven't lined up yet.

Here Zhang Zongchang has already taken the lead, killed and dispersed the Beiyang army, rushed to a mountain top, and was showing off his might and victory.

Don't be wary of a Beiyang soldier watching Zhang Zongchang get angry, quietly raised his gun, aimed at Lao Zhang on the top of the mountain, and when he pulled the trigger, he heard a snap, and Zhang Zongchang yelled: Who has such a bad heart, shoot and shoot! Lao Tzu's butt... has already fallen off the horse.

In this campaign, Zhang Zongchang was injured in his hip.

07 Strange Generalissimo

In the first battle in Xuzhou, Zhang Zongchang was injured in his hip, but he became famous in the first battle and became a hero admired by everyone in the third division.Then, amid the reluctance of the soldiers, he was sent back to Jinling Hospital to have his butt repaired.

Leaving aside Zhang Zongchang's ass, at this time Huang Xing and Anhui governor Bai Wenwei were holding a military meeting, and the topic of the meeting was a bit unexpected: the election of the generalissimo of the uprising.

The current situation is that Jiangxi Li Liejun declared independence, and Jiangsu was declared independent by Huang Xing under the banner of Cheng Dequan.The next one is Shanghai, where Chen Qimei is already on the verge of death.In the southern provinces, there are revolutionaries in the middle to support them, and there is no need to worry about the commander-in-chief of each province, but as far as the national layout is concerned, there must be a person with sufficient influence to lead the overall situation.

Who is this person?

How about Sun Wen?

Sun Wen can't, the Sun family is the great leader of the revolution, and a small one calling for Marshal Yuan Jun is tantamount to insulting Sun Wen.What's more, at this time, Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai have not yet broken their faces - although the Beiyang Army and Yuan Jun have already killed each other, but between Yuan Shikai and Mr. Sun Wen, there are still eyebrows and letters exchanged, the boss clinks glasses, and the employees go shopping , It’s called politics.

Sun Wen couldn't do it, so the generalissimo must be Huang Xing.During the last Revolution of [-], he and Li Yuanhong were divided into chief and deputy generalissimo, with sufficient influence.

Neither can Huang Xing, because someone disagrees.

Who dares to disagree?
The person who disagreed with Huang Xing being the Generalissimo was put aside first.In fact, the Grand Marshal to challenge Yuan Jun had already been appointed by default.

Who is this person?

Speaking of this person, it is a big trouble, and there are divisions:

It is said that in the year of Gengzi, the Boxers broke out.

Killed believers all over the ground and besieged the foreign embassy.

Empress Dowager Cixi was deceived and declared war on the whole world.

The Eight-Power Allied Forces entered the Central Plains, and the Yihe mob dispersed.

Foreign soldiers invaded Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi fled to Sichuan and Shaanxi.

At this time, one person came to serve the king, and he was originally from the Imperial Academy.

After returning to the palace after welcoming the mother, his name is Cen Chunxuan.

From then on, Guangdong went on to be a high-ranking official.

Lao Cen is the most daring by nature, and he hates corrupt officials the most.

The storm of clean government swept Guangdong, and corrupt officials robbed land and cried.

The revolutionary party was recruited with a high salary and spent a total of 100 million.

Chen Shaobai, Sun Wen's close friend, is naughty and mischievous by nature.

PS a strange photo, causing Lao Cen to lose his job.

Come back again in Hunan, the gangsters are talking nonsense again.

The rice grabbing incident in Hunan was the most unbearable when the government office was burned.

In Fujian during the [-] Years, the expelled party members covered the sky with their hands.

The generalissimo of the second revolution, and then the president sits in the country.

Everything has been arranged, and the Japanese are the big backers.

... Enough is enough, when Cen Chunxuan is appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Yuan Army, it is time to reveal the historical truth of the Second Revolution.

08 Who is selling out the land
Why did Sun Wen's second revolution introduce a strange Cen Chunxuan to be the generalissimo?What the hell is going on here?
Mr. Liu Bingrong wrote the book "The War to Protect the Nation", which revealed the truth of Sun Wen's second revolution. Page 79 of the book mentions:
... At this time, there was another brewing. It was said that Japan was instigating behind the scenes to organize another government in Nanjing and elect Cen Chunxuan as president.

From the perspective of historical research, Mr. Liu Bingrong's wording is quite insufficient.Actually used the word "supposedly".

According to whom?Where did it say it?To whom?Where is the transcript?Where is the circumstantial evidence?
Mr. Liu Bingrong explained: According to what Cen Chunxuan himself said——

...Cen often said to people: Others are afraid of Yuan Shikai, but I am not afraid of him, but I want to compete with him.I didn't intend to be a big president. Now that I have a ready-made one, I might as well give it a try.

My God, it turned out that Lao Cen made the nonsense by himself. Can what he said count?

Fortunately, we still have plenty of circumstantial evidence.

On May 1913, 5, the U.S. Secretary of State received a secret letter from China. This information was sent by Acting Minister Williams, and the U.S. Consul General in Shanghai Amos? P?The information which Mr. Wilder obtained on May 4st was so important that it was on the desk of the Secretary of State three days after the incident.

…The American Consul General in Shanghai was informed of the details of the May 5 meeting with Dr. Sun.The doctor affirmed that Yuan Shikai must be responsible for the murder.He seems to be thinking about starting a war.He said that 1 people can be put on the battlefield immediately, and the war can be over within six weeks!When the interviewer said that in the event of a civil war, Japan might suddenly attack Manchuria.Dr. Sun replied: Manchuria is not the whole of China.There were warnings that Russia would then complete its takeover of Mongolia.Dr. Sun pointed out: the place where we stay is the real China.When he was told, France would seize Yunnan and Germany would swallow Shandong.Dr. Sun replied that at that time, the Chinese people will rise up and fight.Consul General Wilder thought to himself: "This deceived man has put himself absolutely in the hands of the (Japanese)".He wondered if Dr. Sun believed that satisfying Japan's territorial desires would help him throw himself into another revolution.He also wondered whether a revolution in China was exactly what Japan would like to see. (Excerpt from page 30 of "Sun Yat-sen" by Wei Muting in the United States)
This historical material says that for the sake of the revolution, Mr. Sun Wen would rather give away even the country.But we have to admit that this historical data is problematic, and the problem is that... so far, we still haven't found out which Japanese bastard actually appointed old Cen Cen Chunxuan as the Grand Marshal of Yuan Jun by default.

Keep looking, if you don't believe me, you won't be able to find this guy.

In his book, Wei Muting continued:
Dr. Sun and Huang Xing took advice from Senge, the general manager of Mitsui Corporation, an official in Sun Yat-sen's newly established China Industrial Company.According to Senge's Japanese biography: "The three men agreed in principle to cede Manchuria to Japan in exchange for a loan of 2000 million yen and the equipment of two divisions. A warship was prepared to send Sun Yat-sen to Japan to discuss details. But , A little later, he shirked that he could not leave China and appointed Huang Xing as his agent."

We finally uncovered Senge, the general manager of Mitsui Corporation. Could it be that this guy is behind the scenes?
In addition, when it comes to such a big incident involving the sale of the country, Sun Wen hid himself and did not dare to show his face, but pushed Huang Xing, who was in Nanjing, to take the blame. This is indeed Mr. Sun Wen's typical revolutionary style.

So, is this a thing or not?
It is said that in 1913, the Prime Minister of Japan was called Okuma Shigenobu, a super awkward name.This person later died. After his death, someone found this line of text in his manuscript:
In short, it is not an international practice to help a Kuomintang and overthrow its government.However, in ancient and modern times, only extraordinary people can do extraordinary things and achieve extraordinary achievements.I steal that your Excellency is an extraordinary person, and now that you have an extraordinary opportunity, it is exactly for your Excellency to rejoice in your economics.

In addition, Jansen's "The Japanese and Sun Yat-sen" and Xue Jundu's "Huang Xing and the Chinese Revolution" both proved one thing: During the Second Revolution, Mr. Sun Wen really expected Japanese support to oppose Yuan Shikai, and planned to Go to Japan to negotiate an alliance.

In addition, it was Mr. Sun’s old patron in Japan, Takeshi Inukai, who introduced Mr. Sun Wen to Japanese Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma.

Now we can confirm that ceding the three eastern provinces in exchange for the arms of the two Japanese divisions is mostly related to Inuyang Takeshi.Furthermore, there is always a reason for making Cen Chunxuan the Generalissimo or even the President, in order to achieve the goal of splitting China, otherwise, Lao Cen himself would not be so ostentatious.

09 The Japanese consortium behind the scenes

Speaking of Japan in the early years, it was also an extremely closed country, not making the slightest contact with the world, and indulging in an extremely backward economic state.But in 1853, British Admiral Perry led a warship to come and fired at Japan. The Japanese were dumbfounded and had to open the country and were forced to negotiate with Admiral Perry.

The envoy sent by Admiral Perry is called Sir Bacharley - this Bacharley should be familiar to Chinese people, his real name is Harry?Parkes, the son of a blacksmith, died of his parents at the age of 5, traveled across the ocean to Macau at the age of 13, entered the British Consulate in Guangzhou at the age of 14, and was promoted from a young librarian to a consul. In 1958, he brought 39 entourages to negotiate with the Qing court, but was arrested by Seng Gelinqin, Prince of Horqin, and put in prison. The jailer took the opportunity to kill 39 of his 11 entourages.Bacharley was so angry that he heard the advice of Gong Banlun, the grandson of the patriotic poet Gong Zizhen in the Qing Dynasty, and set fire to the Old Summer Palace.This incident is also known as the Second Opium War, and it must be described in detail in Chinese history textbooks.

In short, the blacksmith's son, Pacharley, was fierce and not easy to provoke.

The British sent Pacharley, but Japan sent a little boy who bowed when he saw him: Hay, I am the negotiating envoy sent by Japan. Hello, Uncle Pacharley.

At that time, Parker was furious. What's wrong with the Japanese, they actually sent a kid?

Let this kid go, I want to negotiate with adults!
Bacharley yelled at the kid to leave, but instead of leaving, the kid even argued with Bacharley. As soon as he opened his mouth, Pacharley was stunned and stupefied—this weird Japanese kid, his understanding of the principles of public international law And mastery, better than all the Brits put together.At that time, Pacharley was startled and asked, "My little friend, what's your name?"
Japanese children replied: mine, Shigenobu Okuma's work!

This is Shigenobu Okuma's first appearance in history. By the time the second wave of revolution broke out in China, he had grown from a child to the prime minister of Japan, and had received many letters of help from Sun Wen.

And it was Mitsui's Sanger consortium that lifted Shigenobu Okuma to the top position of Japanese prime minister.

Regarding this Mitsui consortium, Gao Zongwu, who had studied in Japan for 8 years and served as the director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the "Republic of China" government at the age of 29, made a detailed analysis in his memoirs:
