The Republic is so violent

Chapter 163 Thirteen Monsters of the Imperial River and Lake (1)
01 The voice of the opposition
In July 1915, Yuan Shikai called soldiers from various provinces, including General Jin Yunpeng of Shandong, General Li Chun of Jiangxi, General Yan Xishan of Shanxi, General Zhang Xiluan of Fengtian, General Duan Zhigui of Hubei, Zhang Zuolin of Northeast China, Wang Zhanyuan of Liangjiang, etc. What's the deal?

Except for Zhang Xiluan, the rest of them all answered the same way, saying: The Republic has not achieved results. I hope that the president will be more responsible and make decisions arbitrarily, so as to comfort the common people's hope of rain.

Only Zhang Xiluan said: President, isn't it good for you to be the president? Why listen to others and insist on being an emperor?Let me tell you, don't blame me for not advising you, you can't be the emperor, and you will regret it after you become the emperor.

Yuan Shikai suspected that Zhang Xiluan could not hold back the situation in the Northeast, so he transferred him to Hubei. Before leaving, the chief of military supplies remitted Zhang Xiluan's balance of more than 70 yuan in military pay over the years to Zhang Xiluan.Zhang Xiluan said: What do you mean?My ex didn't take this money very much, but I'm just a money fan?Eyes open when you see money, don't you?Come on, I don't want this money.

In short, this is another Duan Qirui-style character, but unfortunately, his weight and influence are not enough.

Those who clearly opposed the imperial system, in addition to this Zhang Xiluan, and Zhang Jian, the former champion of the Qing Dynasty.Zhang Jian persuaded Yuan Shikai: "Kaizi, I didn't say you. In the early years, you joined the army with a pen. When Wu Changqing went to North Korea with Wu Changqing, Wu Changqing asked you to study with me under the tent. You read and read, but you just didn't come up with something famous." , I knew then that your brain is really not enough.It’s not that I told you that if you don’t want to be China’s Washington, you must be China’s Napoleon. Is Napoleon so easy to do?Think about it for yourself, does what I say make sense?
Yuan Shikai shook his head: Lao Zhang, don’t get me wrong, I really don’t want to be emperor, but, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, I think from the bottom of my heart, a constitutional monarchy is more suitable for China.But I definitely won't do this emperor, so who should do it?I'm thinking about finding a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang from the former Ming Dynasty to preside over this country, such as Zhu Rui, the governor of Zhejiang Province. I guess the common people will not be disgusted, right?

Zhang Jian laughed loudly: Kaizi, I said you are not smart enough, but you are still not convinced. If Zhu Rui can be the emperor, then Zhu Suyun who sang Xiaosheng, Zhu Youfen who sang Tsing Yi, and Zhu Guifang who sang Huadan are all qualified to be emperors.

The conversation between Zhang Jian and Yuan Shikai was quickly spread, so there is a poem saying:

Counting Zhu Miao to your body, the words are fresh all over the capital.

Needless to say, Huaxu's dream, Zhangshui Xiaoxiao's sorrow is terrifying.

After Zhang Jian, Li Jingxi, the son of Li Hongzhang's younger brother (Li Jingxi was the governor of Yunnan before that), came to persuade Yuan Shikai not to proclaim himself emperor.Cai E once handed over the student post to Li Jingxi. After handing over the post, Cai E turned his face, lifted Li Jingxi in a sedan chair, and sent him out of the country.This time the master and apprentice met again in the capital. I don't know what attitude Cai E will have. Should he call out teacher affectionately, or use a sedan chair to carry Li Jingxi away and throw it away?But Li Jingxi didn't care about whether to throw it away. He came to Yuan Shikai to persuade Yuan Shikai not to engage in an imperial system.

Li Jingxi said: "Kaizi, don't be angry if I say something, how do you compare with my ancestor Li Hongzhang?"To put it bluntly, Li Hongzhang is more than a hundred times stronger than you.But why didn't my ancestors become emperor?That's because the emperor's thing is too damn difficult to do.You are not as capable as my ancestor Li Hongzhang, and your opportunities are not as good as his, but you want to be emperor, do you think you are a little too careless?
Yuan Shikai was so angry that his face turned black and purple, and said: It doesn't count if you say it, and it doesn't count if I say it. The people of the whole country count.

Those who opposed Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor were also Yuan Shikai's younger brother Yuan Shitong.This Yuan Shitong was a well-known literati, since he was born, he could tell at a glance that his elder brother Yuan Shikai was wrong, knowing that sooner or later his elder brother would be a traitor.Yuan Shitong has never changed this concept since he was a child, but now, he finds that his prediction is becoming more and more reality.

But as before, Yuan Shitong found that he was still powerless to stop his brother's misconduct, so he had to return to his hometown sadly. When Yuan Shikai became emperor, he immediately published a newspaper to sever kinship with his brother Yuan Shikai, making Yuan Shikai not a human being inside and outside.

Speaking of those who opposed Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor, there are only two people who are really influential, Duan Qirui is the martial one, and Yan Xiu is the literary one.

Yan Xiu is really a rare genius. In the late Qing Dynasty, he bought "Algebra", "Mathematics", "Introduction to Gezhi", "Astronomical Enlightenment" and "Earth and Earth Records" Strange book, devoted to the study of modern science.After the Reform Movement of 1 failed, the imperial court set up a special economics department. Liang Shiyi took the No.2 exam and Yang Du took the No.[-] exam. This special economics department was set up by the self-taught Yan Xiu and the exam questions.Apart from him, there is no other person in China who can do this.

In addition, Yan Xiu can also be said to be kind to Yuan Shikai.When the Empress Dowager Cixi died in the late Qing Dynasty, the regent Zaifeng wanted to liquidate Yuan Shikai. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty followed suit and suggested that Yuan Shikai should be executed.Yuan Shikai would never forget this kindness even if he was beaten to death.

Yan Xiu, and only Yan Xiu, was able to withstand Yuan Shikai's fierce attack from the imperialist faction and save Yuan Shikai from self-destruction.

In fact, Yan Xiu really did it.

02 Legend of the Six Gentlemen

When Yan Xiu stepped forward to fight against the Monarch faction, we had to talk about the powerful lineup of the Monarch faction.This lineup can be called the perfect combination of the most powerful thinkers in China. Don't say Yuan Shikai, even if the gods come, they can't resist the strong impact of this lineup.

This strong lineup, known as the Thirteen Taibao in history, is made up of a combination of two rivers and lakes.The first one is the Six Gentlemen of the Chou Anhui, and the second is the Hong Xian Seven Fiends, which add up to exactly thirteen people.

Let's talk about the six gentlemen of the Chou'an Society first, and the leader is the reckless doctor Yang Du.In fact, Yang Du set up this pre-announcement meeting, so why did he do it?This is because, after recruiting Liang Shiyi from the Department of Communications for the crown prince Yuan Keding, he found that the crown prince had no place for him, so he left Qingdao and wrote an article "On the Salvation of the Country by the Monarch Constitution" behind closed doors.It said: China's so-called republic is actually an autocratic republic. This autocratic republic implies the seeds of conflict. There will be chaos in fighting for the president anytime and anywhere. The only way to get an emperor quickly is to let everyone have no fight. Only by resting our minds can China be strong and prosperous.

The impact of such an article can be described as powerful. Let alone Yuan Shikai, even if he is a fugitive who murdered and escaped from prison, his heart will be thumped, eager to become emperor, to quell the war and make a little contribution to the country and the nation.So Yuan Shikai commissioned Yang Du to find a few heavyweights and organize an academic research meeting to advocate the monarchy.But Yang Du thought that his weight was enough, so he became the initiator of the Preparatory Security Association and took the head of the six gentlemen.Because of his good at jumping and jumping, people in the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname Doctor Mang.

The second place among the six gentlemen is Sun Yuyun, who is called Xiehou by people in the Jianghu. , This is because his whole family went east to Japan and donated all the pots and pans in the family to the Tongmenghui.It took all the money to be ranked among the veterans of the revolution.

Afterwards, Sun Yuyun returned to China to start a new army in Nanjing. He didn't want to encounter Duan Fang, a competent minister, and was arrested by Duan Fang.Duanfang sentenced Sun Yuyun to five years in prison after the public trial, and then arranged him to study with his female relatives in the back garden of his home. love.

There are different religions, the family is the prison and the wolf enters the house, how many people know about love in the world.If you have the intention to clean up the fate but have no power, the capable minister will be called the world in vain.Just talking about the unlucky Duanfang, he was extremely benevolent to the revolutionary party, he served good tea and food every day, the beautiful scenery in the back garden was for people to watch, and even his most beautiful concubine was included in it, but in the end he was rejected by the party. Ren Xiao got the head and passed it on to Wuchang. The head was exhibited publicly at the Shanghai Expo, and finally sent to Sun Wen. Its whereabouts are unknown.

In short, this Sun Yuyun is a person of sufficient weight, he can be called Yang Du's right-hand man.The nickname of Xiehou was historically particular, and it had something to do with Sun Yuyun's character.

The third among the six gentlemen is the short master Yan Fu.Speaking of this man, he is well-known. He was known as a prodigy when he was young. At the age of 14, he was admitted to the Fuzhou Shipping School run by Lin Zexu's son-in-law, Shen Baozhen.After returning to the country, he was not reused, and he had no choice but to study stereotyped essays for food. It was not until the age of 57 that he became an imperial scholar of liberal arts.In the end, Li Hongzhang saw that he was really pitiful, so he hired him as a teacher, so he worked diligently and hard-working as a teacher for more than 20 years. Give him two bowls of rice.

It is said that one day, the old teacher Yan Fu had a sudden whim and thought of serving the country, so he went to Li Hongzhang and said, "Li Zhongtang, China can't go on like this, really can't, look at the mediocrity of this world, and the world is full of wine bags and rice bags." However, those who are truly talented and ambitious are better off than dead.This kind of reverse elimination will destroy our nation. Don't reverse the elimination again, let's eliminate it.Li Zhongtang, I sincerely suggest that we follow Darwin's theory of evolution, natural selection, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, and a strong nation. I wonder what Master Zhongtang thinks?

Li Hongzhang smiled and said, "Come on, if things are as easy as you said, would it be your turn to say it?"You only know the good things about the West, but you don't know the reality of China. There are too many things in China that the West can't understand.Let’s take the paper twister I’m smoking in my hand as an example. There’s no such thing in the West, and there’s no name for it. How can you change it?
Yan Fu retreated in grief and indignation.

In short, this Yan Fu can be said to have been born in the wrong era, making his life unsuccessful.Although he has lived a very useless life, there is one benefit of teaching and educating people, that is, there are many peaches and plums in the world, and anyone who is promising has to call him Mr., so his fame and influence can be imagined.

It was Yuan Shikai who appointed Yan Fu to join the Security Council.But this year Yan Fu was already 63 years old, and he was getting old. Letting him join the Preparatory Committee was just to use him as a bluffing brand.

Ranked fourth among the six gentlemen is the national teacher Liu Shipei.

Wronged, this ranking really wronged Liu Shipei.Back then, in the revolutionary party, he was a big figure who almost replaced Sun Wen, but now he is only ranked fourth in the preparation meeting.But there is no way out, after all, there are so many talents in this preparation meeting, and it is already very rare for his old Liu to be able to get the fourth place.

03 IQ plunged sharply
Liu Shipei, a great thinker that China urgently needs to study, was called Liu Guanghan in his early years, and his pseudonym was Fierce School No.1. Because the revolution was too thorough, he was fooled by local officials to go to Japan.He sleeps together with his wife, the peerless beauty He Zhen, and Zhang Taiyan, the lunatic Zhang, and joins the League.Later, because Sun Wen took donations from the Japanese, fierce internal strife broke out in the alliance. Liu Shipei wanted to replace Sun Wen, but failed.Afterwards, the war situation took a turn for the worse. First, Liu Shipei advocated anarchism and introduced Marxism into China. Then, for some unknown reason, it was said that Madman Zhang found out that the beautiful woman He Zhen had an ambiguous relationship with his cousin Wang Gongquan, so he ran away to tell Liu Shipei.The lunatic in this chapter is indeed mentally abnormal, can you tell her husband about this?As a result, a great chaos was caused. This group of weirdos made a big fuss in Tokyo and made the Japanese police run around. It was hard work.

First, He Zhen's cousin, Wang Gongquan, threatened to go in with Zhang Taiyan with a white knife and come out with a red knife, and then put poison in Zhang Taiyan's teacup, but he didn't die from the poison, so he set fire to it, but Zhang Taiyan didn't get burned to death. , Liu Shipei and He Zhen and his wife have since resigned from the Tongmenghui, joined Duanfang's tourist team, and went to Sichuan to put an end to the chaos.

But never imagined, on the way, a gunshot from the Wuchang Shouyi, the new army entering Sichuan responded immediately, cut off Duanfang's head abruptly, and imprisoned Liu Shipei and his wife in Zizhou, starved to death, Crazy Zhang brought Cai Yuanpei, and Rufei came to rescue him, and Liu Shipei never mentioned his feud with Crazy Zhang again.

After leaving Dezizhou, Liu Shipei and his wife went to Shanxi to have dinner with Yan Xishan.Yan Xishan was amazed by the subtlety of Liu Shipei's thoughts and his lack of intelligence, and recommended him to Yuan Shikai.Yuan Shikai appointed Liu Shipei as editor-in-chief of the Ministry of Education, participated in politics in the State Council, and awarded Liu Shipei a very strange title: Shang Dafu.

It was this weird title of "Superior Doctor" that spread throughout the world and evolved into the title of "National Teacher".It is said that since Liu Shipei took the fourth position in the Security Council, Yuan Shikai has attached great importance to him, and specially sent soldiers to protect his food and daily life.People at the time recalled that Liu Shipei's residence was magnificent and luxurious, and dozens of soldiers with live ammunition stood guard for him majestically.Whenever Liu Shipei came back from the dinner and the carriage arrived at the entrance of the alley, the soldiers shouted loudly: "Sanshi Liu is back...back...back...back...the voices passed from the entrance of the alley to the gate.

The poem goes: The lights in front of the door are as white as frost, and when you return from the meeting, you raise your gun.The steps of the Heyi court are now holy, and the desolate pool hall is old.It is said that Liu Shipei is very pitiful. After the failure of the imperial system, he returned to teach at Peking University, but everyone ignored him. Liu Shipei cried night after night.One year during the Spring Festival, disciple Liu Wendian came to kowtow to the teacher after a long time, and Liu Shipei cried loudly: Even Liu Wendian ignored me, blah, blah, blah.Liu Wendian hurriedly bought two packs of dim sum, and rushed to deliver them to Liu Shipei, only then did Liu Shipei burst into laughter.

Later, Liu Shipei died. After his death, his wife He Zhen was overly stimulated, so she thought about becoming a nun, but for some reason, she didn't become a nun, so she went completely crazy, and soon vomited blood and died.

All in all, very sad.

The fifth among the Six Gentlemen of the Chou'an Association was Hu Ying, an old revolutionary who was nicknamed Cheng Ji by people from the Jianghu.

Chengji is a personal name, translated into vernacular, it means lack of heart.It is about the last years of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Zhao wanted to usurp the power of Wei Wudi Cao Cao, so he bullied the little emperor Cao Mao with all his strength.Cao Mao was bullied so much that he cried and robbed the ground. In grief and indignation, he led his servant and maid, the old lady, into the chariot, and rushed to Sima's mansion to seek justice.On the way, he was stopped by Sima Zhao's confidant Jia Chong and his subordinate staff Cheng Ji. Facing the screaming emperor, no one dared to do anything.Jia Chong reprimanded Cheng Ji: "What's the use of Sima's family supporting you? Kill me. If you don't kill, you won't kill."The heartless Cheng Ji really stabbed him with a halberd, stabbing the little emperor Cao Mao to death on the spot.Afterwards, the courtiers made a lot of noise and demanded that Jia Chong, the murderer who killed the emperor, be severely punished. Emperor, you can kill as soon as you say, which is really shameful.But Sima Zhao was reluctant to kill his confidant Jia Chong, so he discussed with the ministers and said: Otherwise, let's wipe out the nine clans of Chengji, what do you think?

In this way, the grassroots employee Cheng Ji did the dirty work for others, and finally took the blame for others, and all the family members, young and old, were copied and executed. Since then, he has become the most careless model and model in Chinese history.

It's not for nothing that the old revolutionary Hu Ying was ridiculed as the pinnacle of insensitivity.By the way, Hu Ying is a righteous man who rose up to revolution in his early years. Just when the revolutionary situation was in good shape, the bounty hunter Guo Yaojie suddenly jumped out from the sidelines. This fellow fled from Guangdong to Wuhan. Money is available.Partisans believe what others say, and they rushed to get money excitedly, but they were caught by the Qing court, and Hu Ying was among those arrested.

But Hu Ying's prison life was very wonderful.Because the warden Hu Guohua is his father-in-law, his father-in-law loves his son-in-law so much, he bought a private room for Hu Ying in the prison, with all the necessities of life, even a toilet, and Hu Ying's wife went to the cell every three days to meet with him. Husband reunion, this kind of prison life is really a rare beauty in life.

A good thing is a good thing, but after staying in the cell for a long time, Hu Ying became the oldest otaku in the "Republic of China".After he was released from prison, he caught up with the Japanese Mitsui consortium Senge to sponsor and mobilize people to launch a second revolution to overthrow Yuan Shikai. Hu Ying was also involved, and fled to Japan after failing.In the end, Sun Wen asked everyone to swear allegiance to himself, but Hu Ying couldn't accept it, thinking that such a practice was obviously too dark and social, and it could only cultivate personal autocracy, which was degrading.So Hu Ying joined Huang Xing's European Affairs Research Association. The members of the association were: Li Gengen, Li Liejun, Xiong Kewu, Cheng Qian, Chen Jiongming, Shen Junru, Zhang Shizhao, and Chen Duxiu.

While studying European affairs, a strange man named Jiang Zili suddenly came, holding an oath in his hand, and said to Hu Ying: "Old Hu, do you miss your motherland, your hometown and its people?"Come back, come back to the embrace of the motherland, the people of the motherland are looking forward to you... Being fooled by Jiang Zili, Hu Ying came back in a daze.Then Jiang Zili went to fool others again, not wanting to be discovered by a party member named Wu Xuemei, and immediately attacked with pistols, bombs and short knives, and killed them with great joy.It is reported that Jiang Zili was killed half to death, but not completely dead.

Jiang Zili is an unknown person, so ignore him.Just talking about Hu Ying, as soon as he came back, he was tricked into joining the Chou Anhui, so everyone laughed at him for his lack of understanding.But he really can't be blamed for this. You must know that no matter any man, if he and his wife are locked in a secret room alone for many years, their IQ will drop sharply, which is really helpless.

04 Walking Dogs Not Walking Dogs Not Dogs

Among the six gentlemen of the Chou'an Association, Li Xiehe is the last one to sit in the top spot.

Li Xiehe, a leader of the Restoration Association.Speaking of the restoration meeting, it was really tragic, too tragic.Let’s just talk about a few great figures in the Restoration Society, Wu Yue, the martyr who blasted out the five foreign ministers, Xu Xilin, who killed the governor Enming, and Qiu Jin, the heroine who has been heroic through the ages. Emerged under the direct leadership of Xie He.
