Why did Zhang Xun dare to restore the Qing Dynasty with only 5,000 braid troops?

After Yuan Shikai's death, the northern warlords split into various factions. After a long period of melee and opposition, no one could be unified. 19 17 years, it happened that there was a war between Duan and Li, and the contradiction between them was irreconcilable, so Zhang Xun took this as an excuse to lead 5000 braid troops into Beijing. But what the National Government didn't expect was that Zhang Xun came to change the weather.

Zhang xun restoration is a notorious farce in history. As a courtier of the Qing dynasty, he is very qualified and will never forget his old organization after his death. This sincerity is very rare in the eyes of the old people in the Qing Dynasty. On the eve of zhang xun restoration, Emperor Puyi and those ministers were very excited, thinking that the day of turning over was coming, but only 12 days later, zhang xun restoration declared defeat.

Under Duan's attack, Zhang Xun fled to a foreign embassy in his pajamas, and the little emperor Puyi had to abdicate again. Relying only on 5,000 people to restore the Qing Dynasty is a joke now, but it is taken for granted in Zhang Xun's mind. Because Zhang Xun was cheated by the governor of Duan and other provinces.

The overseers supported zhang xun restoration in name, but they had their own small plans. If zhang xun restoration succeeds, the overseers who support him will naturally become heroes. If zhang xun restoration fails, then the provincial governors will naturally not continue to work for him, and at most another flag will be raised.

Zhang Xun, on the other hand, thought that he had become the backbone of the provinces and was deceived by the lies of the governors of the provinces, so he dared to take 5,000 people to reverse the history. This is the so-called confusion between the authorities and the bystanders.
