pm | | Secrets of the Eight Great Alleys (14th Dec 22 at 1:28am UTC) | | Just then, the captain of the Hua Jia sent a telegram of Cao Kun's resignation. It turned out that as soon as Feng Yu-hsiang arrived in the capital, he was still living in Beiyuan and not in the city, but he issued two orders to Lu Chung-lin, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Garrison, whom he had appointed. One was to arrest Li Yen-ching, and the other was to detain Wang Ke-min. Of course, he wanted to get even with them for withholding the salaries he owed them. Wang Kemin was lucky enough to escape temporarily and take refuge in Dongjiaomin Alley, while Li Yanqing was not only arrested, but also executed the same day. When the news reached the Banquet Building, Tsao Kun was in a bit of a panic. He had thought that Feng Yu-hsiang had defected just to deal with Wu Pei-fu. Everyone said so, and Tsao Kun himself felt that he was very kind to Feng Yu-hsiang. Wu Pei-fu had opposed him several times, all because he had taken refuge in it, expecting that he would not bite the hand that feeds him. However, seeing how tough Li Yanqing was, he felt that his intentions were not good. At that time, he sent Prime Minister Yan Huiqing to Beiyuan to see Feng Yuxiang and ask him for advice on the current situation. Yen Hui-ching brought back three conditions laid down by Feng and Wang: first, to issue a truce order; second, to dismiss Wu Pei-fu from his concurrent posts; and third, to convene a conference of representatives from all the provinces of the country to jointly decide the current situation. Number one, no problem. "Rule number two," said Cao Kun. "I'm afraid there's no room for bargaining on the second one." Cao Rui looked at his "elder brother of the president" and hesitated, so he said, "They are coming for our commander-in-chief of the rebel army." Cao Kun said sadly, "All right!" He said, "What's the name for Ziyu first?" "Don't you want to go to Qinghai to open up wasteland?" Cao Rui suggested: "Send Wu Ziyu to supervise the reclamation of Qinghai." Good! Just give him the name first. Cao Kun then asked, "How about the third one?"? Junren! Jun Ren is Yan Huiqing's number, "President, this is not busy!" He said I'll do it after the new cabinet is formed. I'm now offering my resignation to the president. Tsao Kun thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I can't keep you even if I want to. Who do you think will take your hand?" "President, I don't think you need to worry about it." Yan Huiqing said, "I didn't know until I arrived at Beiyuan today that the rumors from the outside world were true. This time Feng Huanzhang returned to Beijing, which was planned by Huang Yingbai." With that, he bowed out. Just then there was a noise of voices and a quarrel downstairs, and the guards came in to report that Feng Yu-hsiang's men were clamoring to see the quartermaster. When Cao Rui, the quartermaster general of the rebel army, heard this. He was about to go out, but Tsao Kun forbade him. He went to the balcony and said loudly to about twenty or thirty soldiers wrapped in white cloth armbands of the National Army, "This is the Presidential Palace. How can you make a noise here?"? If you have something to do, Feng will make yourself come. The majesty of the president was more than enough to deter the junior officers, temperature screening kiosk , and the platoon leader at the head saluted the whole army and retired. But less than two hours later, the original team came again. Not very polite this time, he shouted at the Yanqing Building: "Commander-in-Chief, please ask Mr. Cao Si to go to the headquarters immediately!" "I'll go!" Cao Rui stood up. Cao Kun was still waiting to stop him. Cao Rui took out more than one hundred yuan bills and a few silver yuan and threw them on the table. He said angrily, "They want to squeeze a dime out of me. Don't even think about it!" As he spoke, he opened the wardrobe to get his Mandarin jacket. He probably saw the fate of Li Yanqing and knew that his fate was doomed. It was better to kill himself than to be humiliated. He secretly swallowed a box of opium paste and said goodbye to Cao Kun with tears in his eyes. He got into a car to go to the Feng headquarters in Beiyuan. As soon as he opened the door, Cao Rui rolled down from the car and was unconscious. The military doctor of the Feng headquarters failed to give first aid and died. Cheaper Citibank of the United States, HSBC of the United Kingdom, and Calyon of France, Cao Rui's many pseudonym deposits turned into a smoke. Cao Rui's death hurt his big president brother. It turned out that Feng Yu-hsiang still had some feelings for Tsao Kun, and with a big president in his hand, it was a card that could work; Only because Huang Yingbai wanted to finish the unfinished work of the 1911 Revolution in this battle, he advocated expelling it. Feng Yuxiang could not but listen to it on the surface, but secretly hoped to deal with Cao Kun indirectly and discuss a way to benefit himself and find a way out for Cao Kun. This was his intention to find Cao Rui.
Now Cao Rui cut himself, and Cao Kun's other trusted followers, such as Wang Yuzhi, have fled to Dongjiaomin Lane. There is no proper channel to communicate, so Cao Kun has to be placed under house arrest in Yanqing Building. Tsao Kun's 16th Mixed Brigade, commanded by his nephew Tsao Shih-chieh, the son of Tsao Chun, the fifth brother, was his "imperial guard", but on the day of Feng Yu-hsiang's return it was surrounded and disarmed by Sun Yueh's troops; So it was no trouble for Cao Kun to be soft. Only a battalion was sent by Lu Zhonglin and stationed around the Yanqing Building. The battalion commander changed into plain clothes and accompanied Cao Kun. They lay up together like the second Li Yanqing, but they did not "wash their feet" for Cao Kun. Although Tsao Kun had lost his freedom, he did not worry much, because he believed that Wu Pei-shou would be able to do anything as soon as he returned from the front. It was not until the end of October, when Feng Yu-hsiang put forward a list of names for the "Regent Cabinet" to be appointed by Tsao Kun, and at the same time asked him to send a telegram to resign, that he realized that Wu Pei-fu had been defeated. The prime minister of the regent cabinet was, of course, Huang Ying-pai, but the cabinet members were selected by Feng Yu-hsiang, Hu Ching-yi, and Sun Yueh. In the triangular alliance of Chang, Duan and Sun, Feng Yu-hsiang supported Premier Sun in Canton. Because Chang Tso-lin and Duan Chi-jui had been in the north for a long time and each had his own forces, while the military forces of the Kuomintang had never reached the north, if Premier Sun could go to the north and become the head of state, his national army would naturally become a legitimate faction. Therefore, he proposed that Li Shucheng, who had served as Chief of General Staff Huang Keqiang, should be the chief of the army; Li Liejun, former Chief of the General Staff under Premier Sun, was appointed Chief of the General Staff. In addition, Huang Tien is concurrently chief of communications; Wang Cheng-ting is concurrently chief of foreign affairs and minister of finance; and the chief of education is Yi Pei-chi, who is Li Shih-tseng's sugarcane promoter. hsdtouch.com | |
