Lao Xu is very aware of the situation in the Manchu and Qing court. Now these Eight Banners nobles are still unwilling to hand over their power. They can only wait until they are beaten and hurt. Therefore, before Lao Yuan came out, Liu Xuande did not visit the thatched cottage three times, not to mention
How did you force Yuan Shikai out of Beijing back then? If you don't ask Lao Yuan now, how can Lao Yuan get out easily?
Therefore, Lao Xu pushed Yinchang out. Zaifeng agreed with this proposal in his heart. If Yinchang could put down the rebellious party, why bother to use Yuan Shikai again!
"Well, Assistant Manager Xu has a good idea, let's do it like this!"
Zaifeng immediately agreed, but Minister of War Yin Chang's heart was full of bitterness. Although he became Minister of War, he didn't know anything about military strategy. Besides, Yinchang and Yuan Shikai were relatives of both, so he naturally knew what Lao Yuan was capable of, and those Beiyang
He couldn't command the proud soldiers, but when things got to this point, he could only take one step at a time, so he was dejected.
Just before the Yinchang army left Beijing, bad news suddenly came. Qiao Yu, the president of the Chongqing Mixed Association, and Bai Kuan, the president of the Chongqing Chamber of Commerce, led all walks of life in Chongqing to declare the independence of Sichuan and became the Sichuan Military Government, with Qiao Yu acting as agent.
Governor-General Bai Kuan serves as the Speaker of the Provisional Parliament.
Immediately after the Wuchang Shou Uprising, the news of Sichuan's independence was like a heavy blow to the Manchu Qing court. Chongqing's independence was different from Wuhan, which required a bloody battle, but it was a matter of course, without any conflict, and it was just a good return of Niu Chuan.
A group of Qing court bureaucrats had just been expelled, and at this time Wuhan had not yet formally established a military government, while the Sichuan military government team had already been established.
Qiao Yu, who knew the progress of the Xinhai Revolution, also knew the tragic experiences of Sichuan during the Republic of China. It can be said that Sichuan was the hardest hit area by warlords. The people were miserable and taxes had been levied for a hundred years before the Republic of China. The reason why Sichuan was torn apart was actually to blame.
to the period of the Revolution of 1911.
Sichuan suffered both from the early revolution and from the late revolution. It said that it suffered the disadvantage of the early revolution because the road protection movement uprising broke out in Sichuan. It is said that the Qing government's attention was attracted to itself, and various forces gathered together.
Sichuan made the situation in Sichuan very complicated. It was precisely because of this complicated situation that Sichuan could not be quickly unified after the Wuchang Shou Uprising. Instead, two military governments emerged. At the same time, the Yunnan Army also took the opportunity to enter Sichuan.
As a result, Sichuan has been divided for a long time, which is another disadvantage of the late revolution.
It is this situation that has turned Sichuan, the largest province in the northwest, into a battleground between the Northern Warlords and the Southwest Warlords. Since the Second Revolution, Sichuan has been the main battlefield in all major wars. In the process of back and forth, it has suffered huge losses.
Of course, Sichuan's local powerful factions have also begun to rise, but they have lost the opportunity to truly unify Sichuan.
Since Qiao Yu was familiar with this situation, he naturally wanted to avoid this tragedy from happening. Therefore, after the success of the Wuchang Shou Uprising, he immediately declared independence, expelled Niu Chuanshan and bureaucrats from various places, and established the Sichuan Military Government. When the road protection movement broke out,
There were many people in Chongqing who opposed the rule of the Qing court.
Now that the banner has changed, there are naturally many people who support it, and of course many conservatives stand up to oppose it, but it can no longer change the overall situation. Chongqing quickly restored order without much turmoil.
The new government has been announced, but officials at all levels have not fully implemented it. At this time, Qiao Yu and his cronies gathered in the former Daotai Yamen to discuss the formation of the government. In fact, when the autonomous committee was originally divided, officials had already
Preliminarily confirmed.
After simple consultations, it was finally decided that Qiao Yu would serve as acting governor and commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Revolutionary Army, Bai Kuan would serve as interim speaker of the Sichuan Parliament, Wang Dongcheng would serve as deputy speaker, and Xue Shan would take over as president of the chamber of commerce. Of course, the chamber of commerce originally assumed many government responsibilities.
There is also military power below the chamber of commerce. Qiao Yu will naturally not continue to retain it. Instead, he will strip off all the government functions of the chamber of commerce and return them to the military government. However, since the main force of Chongqing's independence this time is the force of the chamber of commerce, now the chamber of commerce is no longer
The government and parliament have unparalleled influence. Xue Shan became the president of the Chamber of Commerce and was very satisfied...
On the government side, Shi Dingzhong is appointed as Minister of Civil Affairs, Wang Gui is appointed as Minister of Commerce, Qiao Cheng is appointed as Minister of Finance, Tang Yisheng is appointed as Minister of Infrastructure, Zhao Baoxuan is appointed as Minister of Industrial Development and Planning, Qian Tai is appointed as Minister of Agriculture, and Wu Tong is appointed as Minister of Agriculture.
The Minister of Military and Political Affairs, Han Yong, was appointed as the Minister of Public Security. Other departments such as the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Health were not appointed because they did not have suitable chief officials.
In fact, this is also for outsiders to see. After all, Chongqing is not the political center of Sichuan. There are still a large number of interest groups in Xichuan. If there are people from Chongqing who take over the military government, those people will definitely be dissatisfied. Therefore, Qiao Yu is in the governor's office.
Adding the word "agency" in front of it, and adding the word "temporary" in front of parliament clearly tells the many forces in Xichuan that you can safely join the new government, and that the position is already vacant.
Large-scale adjustments have also been made in the army. Originally, Chongqing had two troops, which was equivalent to a town. Now it has been reorganized and expanded into three divisions. The Chongqing No. 1 Mixed Association was expanded to the Sichuan Revolutionary Army No. 1
Division, Qiao Yu personally served as the division commander, and the chief of staff was Wu Tong. The Second Association was reorganized into the second division, with Qiao Zhen as the division commander and Su Ding as the chief of staff. At the same time, the Chongqing Garrison Division was established to be responsible for protecting Chongqing's security.
The teacher is Han Yong.
After setting up the frame, the only thing left is how to sing the play well!
"Asshole, this is stealing the fruits of our revolution. Why does Qiao Yu dare to call himself governor? What about us people who have been through life and death? Has our blood been shed in vain? It's really disgusting. Let's go to Chongqing now. I will
Go and ask him if he still has the nerve to sit on the governor's throne?"
News of the Sichuan military government quickly spread throughout Sichuan, and the civilian army naturally got the news. Although they instigated the independence of Rong County and became the first local government to break away from the Qing court, the influence of Rong County was too small.
Moreover, we are still in the pincer attack between Duan Fang and Zhao Erfeng's armies, which is very dangerous. Now, people like us are fighting desperately against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but they have established a political power in Chongqing, so they can prevent the leaders of the people's army from being angry!
Wang Tianjie was holding a newspaper and roaring loudly: "What a shameless Qiao Shunqing. He also said that the Sichuan military government is the only legal government in Sichuan and requires the people of Sichuan to obey his orders. Who gave him this power! This thief
, extremely shameless!”
Wu Yuzhang and others were also very angry, and even wanted to lead troops to attack Chongqing. Yang Shukan, who was dealing with Qiao Yujiu, carefully picked up the newspaper, read it carefully, and kept shaking his head.
"Everyone, if you read the newspapers carefully, Qiao Yu has already said that the reason why the Sichuan military government is designated as the only legal government is to prevent Sichuan from falling apart. He also invited leaders of various militia groups to Chongqing to discuss state affairs, and
There are many vacancies in the government and they are obviously vacant!"
"What? Mr. Cangbai, do you believe Qiao Yu's lies?" Wang Tianjie asked.
"Of course I don't believe it!" Yang Shukan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He will definitely eat people without spitting out the bones, but he is doing it openly and openly, and his posture has been laid out. We have no excuse to send troops, and we have no strength.
Let’s just say that now, we have run out of weapons. If we hadn’t pointed to Chongqing to support us, we would have been unable to sustain it long ago. Moreover, Zhao Erfeng’s army and Duanfang’s army have trapped us in the middle, and we are in a very unfavorable situation!”
"Cangbai, don't worry. Duanfang's army is not as good as ours. Not only do they have no weapons, they are also seriously short of food. As for Zhao Erfeng? I'm afraid he has already started to withdraw his troops at this time. Wuchang Shouyi, what's next is
The world responded, I think the Qing Dynasty is going to be completely finished!" Wu Yuzhang waved his fist, looking very excited, victory is in sight!
