What kind of existence is Beiyang warlord? How powerful are the Beiyang warlords?

There are many neglected fragments in the history of China. For example, the period of the Republic of China, as we said, was not limited to the period of the Nanking National Government, but also the period of the Northern Warlords Government.

this is a very interesting era. Mr. Lu Xun once commented on this era? Chengtou changed the flag of the King. As we all know, in everyone's eyes, Beiyang warlords are synonymous with a group of wicked people. History is always like this, and the former dynasty is always the object of criticism, just as more than a dozen emperors of the Ming Dynasty were ruined by the Qing Dynasty. Today, Xiaobian will take you to see this different Beiyang warlord government.

in everyone's mind, the northern warlords are? Sin? Today, Xiaobian brings you a group? Patriotic? 、? Self-improvement? 、? Respect the teacher? 、? Re-education? Beiyang warlord.

Among the northern warlords, Yuan Shikai, who proclaimed himself emperor in his later years and signed Article 21, and Cao Kun, who bribed to elect the president, were the worst. However, in their bones, they always feel that they are a decent China people!

Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor has already been finalized, so we won't talk about it. Let's talk about Article 21.

Article 21 was unilaterally put forward by Japan. Yuan Shikai was extremely opposed at first, and encouraged Britain and the United States to intervene in this matter. He also tipped the news to China reporters. Under the strong public opinion pressure in China society, Japan fell into a passive position. In fact, Yuan Shikai is not only not a pro-Japanese faction, but an enemy who is not * * * with Japan. On the battlefield, he led the troops to defeat the Japanese army several times.

Later, when he was forced to sign Article 21, he burst into tears, asking everyone to pay for it. Interestingly, the financial support behind the national defense movement was provided by Japan. Can we assume that it is because Yuan Shikai is unwilling to be a lackey of Japan that Japan supports another wave of people to rise up against him?

let's talk about Cao Kun again. Cao Kun's great president was elected by bribery. Once the news was exposed, the whole country was in an uproar.

but as people say: It is much better to spend money on the presidency than to force the election with a gun. ?

at least Cao Kun didn't use violence in the election process, and he didn't violate the constitution. Therefore, some people say that he is not really bad.

In 1937, after the fall of North China, Kenji Toshihara tried to win him over to form a puppet government. He resolutely opposed it and said with anger. Even if I drink porridge every day, I won't work for the Japanese! ? When the news of Taierzhuang's triumph came, he was in high spirits and lit firecrackers to celebrate. Later, he died because he was seriously ill.

and Wu Peifu, who is also a fierce man.

After September 18th, he ran to Beijing, pointed to Zhang Shaoshuai's nose and forced him to ask:? Why not? ? Zhang Shaoshuai said? The strength is not enough, but it can't be beaten. ? He went on to say:? Now that I'm here with my troops, my strength is enough! The greatest honor of soldiers is to die in the battlefield and protect the environment and the people! ?

Wu Peifu is officially designated as? Pro-Anglo-American? In fact, all his life, he didn't live in concession, borrowed foreign debts and didn't rely on foreigners' asylum until his death.

and Zhang Shaoshuai's father, who is also a man. Under the attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Zhang Zuolin was defeated again and again. The Japanese took the opportunity to threaten him and tried to get him to sign a traitorous treaty. When Zhang Zuolin heard this, he directly dropped his favorite jade cigarette holder and cursed. Even if I don't want this stinking bag, I can't do this thing that makes my children and grandchildren look down. ?

Soon, Zhang Zuolin was assassinated by the Japanese. Before he died, he said to his wife? I'm too injured, I'm afraid I can't! Tell Xiao Liuzi to put the country first and do it well! My stinking skin is nothing. Tell Xiaoliuko to return to Fengtian quickly. ? Unfortunately, however, Zhang Shaoshuai failed to fulfill his father's wishes, and instead, the Japanese took a big advantage.
