On October 14, 1911, on the recommendation of Yikuang, Xu Shichang, and Na Tong, the regent Wang Zaifeng appointed Yuan Shikai, who was deposed two years ago and was currently recovering from illness in Zhangde, as the governor of Huguang. Yuan Tuo was ill. On October 22, Hunan became independent.
Jiujiang, Jiangxi became independent on October 23, and the Qing court was in danger.
On October 27, the imperial court appointed Yuan Shikai as the imperial envoy to lead the Beiyang Army to attack Wuhan. Lao Yuan personally went to Hubei to supervise the army. On November 1, the regent Zaifeng was forced to dissolve the royal cabinet and appointed Lao Yuan as the prime minister to form the cabinet.
In the game, as usual in history, Lao Yuan has stepped onto the highest stage. Many players who participated in the Wuchang Uprising have changed their attitudes. The next four years will be Lao Yuan's world. After Lao Yuan's death, Beiyang will take power, and they will live with Beiyang in the future.
Ten years has a better future than hanging around with the revolutionary party.
Players are divided into two groups. One group takes tasks from Huang Xing to help defend Hankou, and the other group asks Lao Yuan to get tasks to attack. Players on both sides are evenly matched, but the strength of the Beiyang army is obviously stronger than that of the uprising forces. Hankou fell under the fierce attack of Beiyang.
.
The number of troops in the game is not completely based on history. After all, there are too many players. If there are only six towns in Beiyang, the NPCs will not be able to control the situation. When Yuan Shikai came back, there were 14 towns in Beiyang, plus the Imperial Guards.
Yuan's army had as many as eighteen towns.
Of course, the system did not unilaterally enhance Lao Yuan's power. The Revolutionary Party's NPC troops also tripled, but they were no match for Beiyang. Lao Yuan was very clever. After capturing Hankou, he stood still and secretly negotiated peace with the Southern Revolutionary Party. At the same time, Lao Yuan
He began to deal with the powerful nobles of the Qing Dynasty. On December 6, he forced Prince Chun Zaifeng to resign as regent of the country and retreat to his mansion.
On December 16, Yuan Shikai transferred Feng Guozhang to succeed the President of the Imperial Guard and relieved Liangbi from the post of First Coordinator of the Imperial Guard; he transferred the Imperial Guard artillery to support the encirclement and suppression of the Shanxi Revolutionary Army and disperse the strength of the Imperial Guard; he also used the troops preparing for the expedition.
In name, the imperial guards were transferred out of the city, and Duan Zhigui was sent to form another guard army to station in the capital. The capital was completely controlled by Lao Yuan.
Yuan Shikai only controlled five provinces: Zhili, Henan, Gansu, Shanxi, and Shandong. However, a total of thirteen provinces including Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Jiangsu, Guizhou, Zhejiang, Anhui, Guangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, and Sichuan declared independence.
It seems that Lao Yuan is at a disadvantage, but in fact this is not the case at all. Because he has the most elite fourteen towns in Beiyang in China.
The most critical thing is that the southern provinces are in disarray. The top leaders of the Revolutionary Party are unable to unite the provinces, and there are also divisions within the Tongmenghui. Except for a few determined revolutionaries, many revolutionaries advocate the transfer of power to Yuan Shikai, and more and more people are compromising.
many.
Players also saw signs that the plot of Yuan Shikai coming to power could not change, so more and more people chose to side with Beiyang. At this time, Chen Hao received a personal letter from Yuan Shikai. In the letter, Lao Yuan reviewed the two people
friendship, and then expressed tactfully that he hoped Mr. Chen would be on his side.
Of course, Lao Yuan was not naive enough to think that he could get Mr. Chen's support out of nothing. He promised to make Mr. Chen the Minister of Army once he came to power. Chen Hao was not a staunch revolutionary party in the first place. He never broke up with Lao Yuan, but was prepared to
It was sold at a price during the Revolution of 1911.
He quickly wrote back to Yuan Shikai, also euphemistically stating that he was not qualified for the post of Army Minister because of his lack of ability. Many of the southwestern provinces were his old subordinates, and the Navy was pulling them up hand and foot. He really couldn't bear to leave him alone. If he could serve as
The Governor of the Southwest and Secretary of the Navy would be great.
After receiving Chen Hao's reply, Yuan Shikai sneered: "Chen Baxian has a really big appetite. He wants to be the local overlord in the southwest. He also wants to legitimately control the navy. How can such a good thing happen?"
Xu Shichang shook his head and said: "Chen Baxian actually controls the navy. It is understandable that he serves as the minister of the navy, but his appetite for the four southwestern provinces is too much."
Chen Hao controls 90% of China's navy. Lao Yuan promised him the position of Minister of War, but in fact he had bad intentions. The Minister of Army seems to be more important than the Minister of Navy, but the troops in the southern provinces will not obey the orders at all, and the six towns in Beiyang will also
He would not listen to his orders. Lao Yuan had his own wishful thinking. He asked Chen Hao to serve as the Minister of the Army, and then appointed his confidant as the Minister of the Navy, hoping to seize the navy from Chen Hao's hands.
Even if Chen Hao really becomes the Minister of the Army, it is impossible for the Navy to be attracted by Lao Yuan, because he has top-notch imperial mental skills. However, he is not interested in the Minister of the Army. If he has the title of Southwest Governor, he will control the four provinces after occupying Sichuan.
A great warlord has a much better future than being the Minister of War in the capital.
Xu Shichang said with some worry: "Sir, if Chen Baxian sides with the Revolutionary Party, the navy he controls is the biggest capital. With the support of the Navy, the Revolutionary Party will not easily agree to your terms, which will be detrimental to your plans."
Yuan Shikai also had a big headache. He waved his hand and said, "Let Chen Baxian go dry first! There is really no way to consider his conditions anymore."
Lao Yuan soon had no way to show off Mr. Chen anymore. The Beiyang Navy, which attacked Wuchang in mid-November, announced its merger with the Nanyang Navy. Navy Admiral Sa Zhenbing and Li Yuanhong were teachers and students, and Fleet Staff Officer Tang Xiangming and Wuchang Uprising hero Tang Hualong were brothers.
, so the two agreed to revolt under the persuasion of the Revolutionary Party.
In mid-November, Beiyang ships sailed from Wuchang to Jiujiang. Sa Zhenbing claimed to be ill and left the ship for treatment in Shanghai. Huang Zhongying was appointed fleet commander. Lin Sen in Jiujiang persuaded the fleet to officially declare an uprising. It is not surprising that the navy supported the revolutionary party Lao Yuan, but Hubei
Li Yuanhong of Jiangxi Province and Li Liejun of Jiangxi Province instigated the rebellion of the navy but gave it to Chen Baxian to command. This is really strange.
Yuan Shikai was suddenly startled. If Li Yuanhong, Li Liejun and Chen Baxian formed a secret alliance, Chen Baxian's influence would be too great. Old Yuan became entangled and agreed to let Chen Baxian become the governor of the southwest to control the four provinces. He was unwilling to accept it and was afraid if he did not agree.
He supports the revolutionary party.
Chen Hao would not worry about Lao Yuan's feelings. He high-profile invited Sa Zhenbing to continue to serve as the admiral of the Beiyang Navy, saying that Nanyang would assign two battleships, four battlecruisers and ten armored cruisers to the Beiyang command. The new Beiyang
The strength of the fleet is no weaker than that of the Nanyang Navy, and it is countless times stronger than the previous Beiyang Navy.
Tang Xiangming and Huang Zhongying were also reused, and the former officers of the Beiyang Fleet remained almost unchanged. Lord Chen's trust moved these naval officers deeply. Under Li Yuanhong's persuasion, Sa Zhenbing agreed to resume his duties as the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, and in accordance with Lord Chen's instructions
He ordered the Beiyang Fleet to go northward to "defend Gyeonggi".
The top-level maneuvering skills are unparalleled. Chen Hao dared to appoint Beiyang Navy officials boldly without fear of their betrayal. Even if Sa Zhenbing and others really had bad ideas, the captains of the warships he sent to Beiyang were all his confidants. Sa Zhenbing
Bing and others could not move.
The Beiyang Fleet's "protection of the capital" is actually putting pressure on Lao Yuan. The territory controlled by Lao Yuan is not as good as that of the Revolutionary Party. If the navy transports the troops of the Revolutionary Party to land in the north, Lao Yuan will no longer have any advantage. The Beiyang Fleet enters Yingkou Port to station
Later, Lao Yuan made the immediate decision to send electricity to Chen Hao and agreed to his terms of serving as the Southwest Governor and Minister of the Navy.
The game time entered 1912. On January 22, Sun Yat-sen issued a statement that as long as Yuan Shikai agreed to the abdication of the Qing emperor, he would resign and give way to Yuan Shikai. After Yuan Shikai received the guarantee, he stepped up the process of forcing the Qing Dynasty. He lobbied and bribed Prince Qing Yi Kuang and Na
Tong, and bribed Zhang Lande, the favored eunuch around Empress Dowager Longyu, with money, and threatened Empress Dowager Longyu that the situation was over, and if the revolutionary army killed the imperial family in Beijing and their lives would be in danger, she would be given preferential treatment if she agreed to give up the throne.
On January 22, the British Minister Juldian, together with the French, Russian and Japanese ministers, declared in favor of the Qing Dynasty and abdication; on January 26, under the instruction of Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui led 47 Beiyang generals to jointly send a message to the cabinet, the Ministry of War and the princes and ministers,
It was proposed that the civilian army had promised preferential treatment to the Qing Dynasty royal family, the royal family and the Manchu, Mongolian, Hui and Tibetan ethnic groups, and requested the imperial court to issue an edict declaring the establishment of a republican system of government at home and abroad.
After Chen Hao got Yuan Shikai's promise, he began to focus on Sichuan. To win Sichuan as the king of southwest China was the key. What Yuan Shikai could give him after he came to power was only in name, and he still needed to grab the territory himself, so he was ready to act in advance.
.
Historically, when the Sichuan Military Government of the Han Dynasty was established, due to Pu Dianjun's compromise with Zhao Erfeng, the military governments of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and other provinces believed that the Sichuan Military Government was the "Gelaohui government". The provinces did not recognize the Sichuan Military Government and believed that the Chongqing Shu Military Government was the revolutionary government.
, is the only legal government in Sichuan.
Cai E, the governor of the Yunnan military government, even wrote to the Hubei military government, hoping to unite to attack Chengdu. The Shu military government also invited Yunnan and Guizhou to send troops to support the crusade against the Sichuan military government. In the game, Cai E did not become the governor of Yunnan, but served as the Guizhou military commander.
The government's Minister of Military Affairs accepted the command of Xu Xilin. However, Liu Zixuan, the governor of Yunnan, and Xu Xilin, the governor of Guizhou, accepted the invitation of the Shu military government at the instruction of Chen Hao and sent troops to Sichuan at the same time.
The two main divisions in Guizhou were once again divided into two groups. The second division entered Xuyongting, Sichuan from Renhuai in the north of Guizhou; the third division entered Xuzhou Prefecture from Dongchuan Prefecture in Yunnan, connecting Keping Mountain, Hengjiang Town, and Anbianpu.
They were approaching Yibin. Bai Huhu, the governor of southern Sichuan, appealed to Chengdu and asked Yin Changheng and Luo Lun to send more reinforcements, otherwise they would not be able to defend the two mansions.
Yin Changheng and Luo Lun were very wary of the army coming from Yunnan and Guizhou. They assembled a force of 12,000 people and marched to Luzhou Prefecture. They issued an order to Baihuhu Monster to defend. After the 12,000 people arrived, Baihuhu Monster issued an order
The first order was to hand over the weapons to the arsenal, arrange defensive positions, and then redistribute them.
The 12,000 reinforcements were confused about this order, but Demon Bai Huhu was the commander, and they did not dare to disobey the order. After confiscating the weapons, Demon Bai Huhu immediately ordered 3,000 trusted troops to surround the 12,000 people.
, announced that Luzhou Prefecture and Xuzhou Prefecture would support the Yunnan-Guizhou coalition forces in their crusade against the "Gelaohui government" in Chengdu.
