    "Compared with the situation in Xi'an, Yan Xishan seems to be at home in Taiyuan and seems much calmer.

    Lu Zhongqi, the governor of Shanxi Province, only took office in September 1911. The Wuchang Uprising broke out within a few days of taking office. Subsequently, Changsha, Jiujiang, Yuezhou, Tengchong, Kunming and other places were recovered one after another, and Taiyuan was also in turmoil.  Lu Zhongqi was not a bad person, but he was a bit old-fashioned in his thinking. Upon seeing this, he quickly summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

    Based on the analysis of the situation in each province, everyone unanimously determined that the New Army was the source of trouble and must be strictly guarded against.  How to prevent it?  After much discussion, we finally came up with two solutions:

    First, the two-standard troops of the 43rd Mixed Association of the New Army stationed in Taiyuan were transferred to southern Shanxi and northern Shanxi respectively for isolation; patrol battalions stationed in other places were transferred to the provincial capital to serve as a deterrent.

    Second, the New Army usually does not fire bullets.  Especially in the process of transferring away from Taiyuan, the bullet must be drawn first and then fired.  This is almost exactly the same as what Shaanxi did.

    Naturally, the revolutionaries will not sit still and wait for death.

    Shanxi Province is adjacent to Zhili and Beijing and Tianjin. It was civilized earlier and its thoughts were quite liberated. As early as 1902, it established a military preparation school to train the new army.  There are many revolutionary parties throughout the province, especially the New Army stationed in Taiyuan, and almost most of the middle- and upper-level generals are members of the alliance.  In addition, there were also many gentry who sympathized with the revolution, creating many favorable conditions for a successful uprising.

    But there are many unfavorable conditions, such as no bullets in hand, and more importantly, the situation around Shanxi: to the north is desolate Inner Mongolia, to the west is Shaanxi where the situation is unknown, and to the south and east are Henan and Zhili, which are heavily guarded.

    At this time, Yuan Shikai was fighting with the Revolutionary Party in Wuhan. In order to protect the retreat and intimidate the court, a large number of powerful Beiyang troops were stationed in Zhili, which could reach Taiyuan by railway within half a day.  The Revolutionary Party launched an uprising in Taiyuan. If it was done well, the center would blossom. But if it was not done well, someone would make dumplings out of it and it would end in death!

    Because of this, the revolutionaries hesitated.  On the one hand, Huang Guoliang, the 85th standard commander of the 43rd Mixed Composites Association, and Qiao Xu, the 86th deputy standard commander, and others were bargaining hard with Lu Zhongqi, hoping to get some bullets fired first. On the other hand, they were intensively preparing to launch an uprising.  At this time, Yan Xishan arrived in Taiyuan with the 88th bid of the 44th Mixed Composite Association.

    Like Geng, the governor-general of Shaanxi and Gansu, Lu Zhongqi simply believed that new troops passing through from other provinces were more reliable than locally produced goods, and wanted to use Yan Xishan's military power to intimidate Huang Guoliang, Qiao Xu and others to leave Taiyuan as soon as possible.  As everyone knows, Huang Guoliang and Yan Xishan are classmates in the Japanese Army Military Academy, and they are good enough to wear a pair of pants.  Lu Zhongqi's move to take advantage of the situation was completely to lure the wolf into the house.  On the surface, Yan Xishan was forceful in forcing the 43rd Mixed Association to get on the road as soon as possible, but secretly he had already become involved with Huang Guoliang, Qiao Xu, Yao Yiqi and others.

    Of course, Yan Xishan would not simply place his hopes on the Shanxi New Army. While conspiring with the Shanxi Revolutionary Party, he also took the time to recruit student armies from all over the country.  I don¡¯t know whether Yan Xishan didn¡¯t have enough influence or Taiyuan was too remote. Through his connections with fellow villagers, classmates, colleagues, etc., he quickly organized two camps using local youths in Shanxi. However, not many students came to sign up. By the end of October  The 88th mark has just been completed.

    There are daily telegrams and news exchanges between Taiyuan and Luoyang. Hearing that Luoyang had more than 5,000 students enrolled by the end of October, Yan Xishan was filled with emotion and thoughtful at the same time.

    By November 5th, both the 85th and 86th targets had left Taiyuan, one arriving at Baijingpu, a hundred miles away, and the other at Jimingyi, which was near eighty miles away.  Lu Zhongqi felt as if a big stone had been removed from his heart. He suddenly felt refreshed, his meals were fragrant, and his sleep was sweet. Even his wife, who usually ate tasteless food and was a pity to abandon her, became more beautiful.

    That day was Sunday. Early in the morning, Yan Xishan took twenty or thirty people into the city to have breakfast. Later, Cheng Ziyin, Zhang Huizhan, Zhou Yinren, He Chengjun and others also brought their men to the city from different gates.  The remaining student soldiers were in twos and threes, just like wandering around. They entered the city one after another from morning to noon. After entering the city, they gathered along the quiet streets and alleys towards the designated target.  Because the student soldiers were full of bookish expressions, just like the young people studying in the school, they did not attract any attention at all.

    At two o'clock in the afternoon, the wealthy people in Taiyuan City who had eaten three meals had already eaten and drank enough and were ready to take a nap; those who had eaten two meals had just brought their bowls and chopsticks to the table.  The students gathered in clusters in the east and west near various strategic points. Before the military police and patrolmen came forward to ask questions, they heard a gunshot at the gate of the governor's office. Everyone took out the playzaton hidden in their waists and shouted loudly.  : "Drive out the Tartars and restore China!" Quickly rush towards each target.

    After the New Army left, there were only patrol cavalry camps and more than 300 "flag guards" in Taiyuan City. There was no vigilance. Most of them were lying on the kang with a full meal and staring.  Hearing the shouting of killing, those who reacted quickly slipped out of the back door.Now that Shanxi has been liberated, we should take the opportunity to realize republic.  We might as well use voting to select the Governor of the Shanxi Military Government from among those present. This can not only reflect the will of the people, but also demonstrate the orthodoxy of the military government.  "

    Zhang Shuzhi, the commander of the first battalion recruited by Yan Xishan in Shanxi, suddenly jumped up from the stage, pushed Liang Xianji behind him with his shoulders, and shouted loudly: "We are going to elect Yan Baichuan as the governor! No votes are needed, just a show of hands."  Vote!" After saying that, he took the lead in raising his left hand.

    While the members were still looking around hesitantly, Zhou Dai, the commander of the second battalion recruited by Yan Xishan in Shanxi, suddenly stood up in the audience, took out his handbag and slapped it hard on the table. He glanced at the members and spoke word by word.  : "Raise your hands if you agree!"

    In this case, even a fool knew what Yan Xishan was playing, so everyone had to raise their hands one after another.  After Zhang Shuzhi checked that everyone raised their hands, he said with satisfaction: "Unanimously approved! Now that the Grand Governor has been selected, let's adjourn the meeting."

    The members of the House of Representatives dispersed one after another.

    Cheng Ziyin and Zhang Huizan smiled bitterly at each other, then stood up and found Yan Xishan: "Brother Baichuan, Xi'an and Taiyuan have been successfully recovered. The biggest crisis we face now is that the Qing army crosses Niangzi Pass along the Zhengtai Line and attacks Taiyuan. I volunteered myself,  I am willing to go eastward with Zhang Huizhan and the 1st Battalion of the 88th Standard and the student army recruited later to guard Niangzi Pass!"

    Yan Xishan also knows that these people are not of the same mind as him after all, and staying in Taiyuan is also a serious problem. He wishes they would leave early.  Cheng Ziyin's strategy can not only clear up the relationship, but also drive away wolves and repel tigers, which is exactly what he wants.  He immediately smiled and said: "Since Brother Cheng has volunteered, how dare Yan disobey me!"
