    As Sun Yuanqi said, Li Yuanhong's support for Yuan Shikai was naturally not voluntary labor. His condition was very simple, that is, to let Yuan Shikai help kill someone.  Who to kill?  Zhang Zhenwu, former deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs and consultant of the Military Affairs Department of the Hubei Military Government.

    Zhang Zhenwu, whose courtesy names were Chunshan and Chunsan, was renamed Zhushan. He was born in Luotian, Hubei in the third year of Guangxu (1877).  He studied abroad at Waseda University in Japan at his own expense, studying law and politics.  In 1905, he joined the Tongmenghui and later the Tongjinhui. He was one of the first rebels of the Wuchang Uprising and was revered as a founding father of the Republic. Together with Sun Wu and Jiang Yiwu, he was also known as the "Three Martial Arts of Xinhai".  For such a revolutionary hero, why did Li Yuanhong raise the butcher's knife?

    To talk about the conflict between Zhang Zhenwu and Li Yuanhong, we have to go back to the Wuchang Uprising.

    After the Wuchang Uprising broke out, Sun Yat-sen was far away overseas, and Huang Xing and others were reluctant to come. However, local revolutionary leaders such as Liu Gong, Sun Wu, and Jiang Yiwu were afraid that there would be internal power struggles between the Literary Society and Gongjin, so they were unwilling to come forward.  Time seems a bit leaderless.  After much deliberation, everyone thought of Li Yuanhong, who was then the commander-in-chief of the 21st Mixed Association of the Hubei New Army.

    Li Yuanhong, who was picked out as the governor, was initially coy and refused to submit, which made many revolutionaries very dissatisfied, including Zhang Zhenwu.  He said to the people around him: "Now that Li Yuanhong refuses to agree with the revolution and is not praised by his comrades, it happens that it has not been made public yet. It is better to behead him in public to enhance the reputation of the revolutionary army and terrify a group of Qing officials who are loyal to foreign races."  , wouldn¡¯t it be good?¡± There is no airtight wall in the world. These words were later known to Li Yuanhong, and they planted evil causes for the future conflicts between the two.

    Later, Hanyang fell and the war in Wuchang became tense.  Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Yuanhong did not bother to notify others, so he packed his luggage in private and prepared to leave. However, he was caught and reported to Zhang Zhenwu.  Zhang Zhenwu immediately led people to the Governor's Mansion to block Li Yuanhong and ridicule him.  Finally, Li Yuanhong was assigned two "guards" and ordered them: "I will hand over the governor to you two. If the governor leaves Wuchang for a step, I will take you two for granted!"

    Later, Li Yuanhong left Wuchang with the support of Sun Wu and others. Before leaving, he handed over the defense of the city to Liu Gong and Zhang Zhenwu.  Zhang Zhenwu complained about this: "Li Yuanhong, as the governor, was so cowardly that he fled before fighting, leaving us to fight to the death. Why don't we take this opportunity and recruit talented people to replace that wimp!" Everyone said, "The enemy is at hand!"  "It's inconvenient to change coaches easily", and then reluctantly stopped Zhang Zhenwu.  After Li Yuanhong learned about it, he became even more resentful.

    Who would have known that the Revolution of 1911 succeeded in an incredible way. Li Yuanhong, who was forced to serve as the governor of Hubei, not only escaped unscathed, but also became the vice president of the Republic of China, a position he could not have dreamed of in the former Qing Dynasty.  After many midnight dreams, Li Yuanhong felt that fate was playing tricks on people, and he sighed a lot: It seems that strong melons can be sweet sometimes!

    Despite all the hardships, Li Yuanhong still hates the revolutionaries very much and actively excludes them, hoping to get rid of them quickly.  Zhang Zhenwu, in particular, was a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

    By the way, Zhang Zhenwu is indeed very arrogant.  After the revolution was successful, he knew that his relationship with Li Yuanhong was not good, so he took the initiative to apply for development in Shanghai on the pretext of purchasing weapons.  Li Yuanhong was eager for him to leave. When he saw this, he gave him a large sum of money and asked him to purchase ordnance.  Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Zhenwu arrived in Shanghai, he made friends with celebrities from all walks of life, promoted himself as a revolutionary hero, looked down upon Li Yuanhong in words and deeds, and even made slanderous remarks from time to time.

    Zhang Zhenwu, who was addicted to the pleasure of squandering public funds, paid no attention to the purchase of ordnance, resulting in the purchased ordnance being very unsuitable.  Li Yuanhong was angry and sent someone to check the accounts and telegraphed Shanghai Governor Li Pingshu to monitor his actions.  Zhang Zhenwu was not a vegetarian. He immediately returned to Hubei from Shanghai. When he saw Li Yuanhong, he slapped his pistol on the table and said: "You, a person who was forced to serve as the governor, have what qualifications do you have to check my accounts?" His attitude was extremely domineering.  Li Yuanhong could only apologize repeatedly, but he became more determined to get rid of Zhang Zhenwu.

    At first, Li Yuanhong didn't want to kill anyone. After all, the crime of killing the first righteous hero was too bad.  So he teamed up with Yuan Shikai and transferred 16 people including Sun Wu, Jiang Yiwu, Liu Gong, Zhang Zhenwu, and Cai Jimin to Beijing in two batches to serve as empty posts such as generals in the General Office and advisers to the Presidential Office. In fact, these Wuchang Prime Ministers  The backbone of the revolution is in Beijing.

    But Zhang Zhenwu is not a peaceful master, and being a powerless consultant cannot satisfy him at all. He complained to Duan Qirui and Yuan Shikai more than once: "Can we Hubei people only be consultants?" He couldn't bear it.  Complaining and complaining, Yuan Shikai had no choice but to appoint him as the Mongolian envoy for reclamation.  But the Reclamation Envoy was really shabby, with Zhang Zhenwu being the only commander up and down, inside and out.  After staying in the capital for ten days and a half, Zhang Zhenwu felt bored, so he left without saying goodbye and returned to Wuhan.If Li Huangpi sings with him again if he has other thoughts, I'm afraid Xiangyang will not be a safe place to live!  "

    Fang Wei hurriedly asked: "What should we do?"

    Zhang Zhenwu said: "If it really comes to that step, the best thing to do is to take the initiative to express your sincerity to Sun Baixi and request to send troops to Hubei to overthrow Li Huangpi. Sun Baixi once served as an envoy to promote education in Hubei for many years and was very beneficial; now he is in charge of Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places.  He also exempted the people from land tax, and the people in central Hubei were envious. This created a mass base for entering Hubei. More importantly, Yunyang borders Sichuan and Shaanxi; and looking around Hubei, only Sun Baixi's strength is as strong as Yuan Xiangcheng and Yuan Xiangcheng.  Li Huangpi challenged. If Sun Baixi sends troops to Hubei, you will be the heroes who conquered Hubei Province!

    "The middle strategy is to surrender to Sun Baixi and lead his troops to retreat into Sichuan or Shaanxi. Naturally, Li and Huangpi dare not take a step further, so you can sit back and relax. Moreover, the troops in Sichuan and Shaanxi have always been insufficient, and Sun Baixi is also kind to others. After you surrender, you can also become a co-union  , Deputy Assistant Commander. It¡¯s just that most of the generals under Sun Baixi¡¯s command are his students. I¡¯m afraid it will be very difficult for you to move up in the future.

    "The next strategy is to support the army in Xiangyang and stand on its own. If Li Huangpi sends troops to attack, you will fight with them. This will involve betting on how powerful Zhang Zhiping's men are and how determined Li Huangpi is. If you are not careful, both jade and stone will be destroyed, so this is  I don¡¯t recommend you to take this last resort.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
