Zhang Xun, who lost his father in his early years, joined the army in Changsha on 1884 (the 10th year of Guangxu reign). He was frank and bold, and entered Guangxi with the Qing army to participate in the Sino-French war. In the late Qing Dynasty, he was transferred to Su Yuanchun, the prefect of Guangxi, as a general. 1894- 1895 The Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War broke out and was transferred to Fengtian with Sichuan Governor Song Qing. 1895 (twenty-first year of Guangxu) took refuge in Yuan Shikai and served as the management zone (battalion commander) and battalion commander (general manager of the training supervision department) of the newly-built army engineering battalion. Later, he went to Shandong with Yuan to suppress the Boxer Rebellion. 1899 litres of company commander. 190 1 year, transferred to Beijing, stayed at the end of the city gate as a guard, and served as the attendants of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu for many times. 1909 (Xuantongyuan year) After Pu Yi acceded to the throne, he served as the prefect of Jiangnan and headed the Nanjing Scout Camp.
After Wuchang Uprising, he was ordered to defend Nanjing and the ninth town of the new army against the revolutionary army. He was named Governor of Jiangsu, Governor of Liangjiang and Minister of Nanyang by the Qing government. In order to show my loyalty to the Qing court, my department and I both tied braids, which were called "braid handsome" and our military forces were called "braid army". After Yuan Shikai 19 13 became president, his department was renamed as the former Wuwei Army and stationed in Yanzhou, indicating that he was still loyal to the Qing Dynasty and forbade his soldiers to cut off their braids. In the second revolution, Yuan Shikai ordered him to lead troops to Nanking to suppress and beg Yuan Jun, and to plunder and kill thousands of people. Xuan was named General Dingwu by Yuan Shikai, served as the governor of Jiangsu, transferred to Xuzhou, transferred to the governor of the Yangtze River, and moved to Xuzhou. After Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, he was awarded the rank of first-class public, but he still devoted himself to defending the Qing court. 19 16 After Yuan's death, he established an alliance of seven northern provinces in Xuzhou, and soon served as the governor of Anhui, and expanded it into an alliance of thirteen provinces, plotting the restoration of the Qing Dynasty. 19 17 in June, the situation was unstable, and there was a "battle between the government and the court" between President Li and Premier Duan, competing to win them over to Beijing for mediation. So they took the opportunity to unite with Kang Youwei and other royalists, led troops into Beijing, dissolved the parliament and drove Li away in the name of reconciling the court disputes. /kloc-in July, 2000, he and Kang Youwei established the restoration of Puyi, re-established the imperial government, and were appointed by Puyi as the deliberation minister, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, known as "zhang xun restoration" in history. However, on June 5438+02, he was defeated by Anhui warlord Duan and fled to the Dutch embassy in China. Puyi was wanted after abdication, and then fled to Tianjin German Concession. 19 18 In March, the Beiyang government granted amnesty to the culprit of Hong Xian and the criminals who were restored to the frontier commander on the grounds that "the times were difficult and talents were scarce". After he was released from prison, he has been living in the apartment at No.6 Tianjin Demolition Office (now No.6 Pukou Road, Hexi District). 1923 12 September, died in Tianjin due to illness, at the age of 69, and Pu Yi named him a "brave warrior". The Revolution of 1911 overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, established a republic, and ended the feudal autocratic monarchy system for more than two thousand years. However, the feudal forces are not willing to fail. In the early years of the Republic of China, after Yuan Shikai's "Hongxian monarchy" failed, the Qing court was restored on June 19 17. Because the restoration was done by the feudal warlord Zhang Xun, it was called "zhang xun restoration" in history.
Zhang Xun was originally the prefect of Jiangnan in Qing Dynasty, and was the commander-in-chief of Jiangfangying stationed in Nanjing. After the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, the revolutionary army attacked Nanking and Zhang Xun fought to the death. After the defeat, the troops retreated to Xuzhou and Yanzhou and continued to be enemies of the revolution. After the founding of the Republic of China, he and his team stubbornly tied pigtails to show their loyalty to the Qing court. People call this strange warlord "Braid Handsome" and his team "Braid Army". 19 13, Zhang Xun was promoted as the governor of the Yangtze River by Yuan Shikai for his contribution in suppressing the "second revolution" initiated by Sun Yat-sen, and since then, he has supported Xuzhou and become a powerful local warlord. 19 16, Yuan Shikai, the leader of Beiyang Warlord, failed to claim the title of emperor, and Li became the president, with real power in the hands of Premier Duan of the State Council. Soon, he Duan had a contradiction about Li's so-called "participation in the war." Duan advocated declaring war on Germany, but Li and Congress resolutely opposed it. Zhang Xun opposed declaring war on Germany because Germany supported his restoration, but at the same time he looked down on Li. So, Li and Duan hurried to win over Zhang Xun, but Zhang Xun had other plans. He disguised himself as a mediator between Lebanon and Lebanon, trying to gain benefits while piecing together strength and actively preparing for restoration. 1965438+In late May 2007, when Li and Duan were arguing over the dissolution of the National Assembly, Duan planned to overthrow Li and dissolve the National Assembly by force. When Li learned the news, he first ordered Duan to be dismissed as the Prime Minister of the State Council. Zhang Xun took the opportunity to put forward the idea that "restoration is necessary" and led the "Braided Army" to the north on June 7th. Lee was forced to order the dissolution of parliament. Zhang Xun arrived in Beijing on June 4th, 65438. After intense planning, Zhang Xun sneaked into the Qing Palace on June 30th and decided to launch the restoration that night. 19 17 July 1 morning 1, Zhang Xun put on a blue gauze robe and a yellow mandarin jacket, put on a red flowerbed, and led more than 50 people, including Liu, Kang Youwei, Chen Yi, Shen, Wang Shizhen, Red Dynasty officials and several braid troops, into the palace by bus. At about 3 o'clock, the deposed emperor Puyi summoned Zhang Xun in hall of mental cultivation. Zhang leads the crowd, and Puyi makes three obeisances and nine knocks. Then Zhang Xuan invited the restoration and said, "Yulong couldn't bear to make the people suffer for the honor of a surname, so he wrote a letter to run a republic, but it made the people miserable. The Republic is not in line with our national conditions. Only the restoration of the emperor can save all the people. " Puyi said, "I am too young to do such a big job." Zhang said: "The emperor is a saint, and everyone knows it. In the past, the sage emperor was also a lifelong practitioner. " /kloc-Pu Yi, 0/2 years old, said: "In this case, I am reluctant!" On the same day, Puyi issued an "imperial edict", saying that "the Republic disintegrated and the remedy was ineffective", and announced that he personally went to court and regained power. He announced nine policies, issued eight "imperial edicts" in succession, and made a large-scale knighthood to restore the old system of the Qing Dynasty. The important figures who participated in the restoration were given important positions such as Shangshu, Ge Cheng and Assistant Minister. Kang Youwei was appointed as the vice president of Bi, and Zhang Xun was appointed as the minister for deliberation of government affairs, and was named the brave new king. Zhang Xun also electrified the provinces, announcing that it had "called for the restoration of the emperor" and asked the provinces to "follow the Zhengshuo and fly the dragon flag". After the news of the restoration came out, it was immediately opposed by the people of the whole country. Sun Yat-sen published the Declaration of Uprising in Shanghai, and Duan, with the support of Japanese imperialism, formed an uprising army. The defensive "Braid Army" collapsed, and Zhang Xun fled to the Dutch Embassy under the protection of the Germans. The restoration farce only lasted 12 days, and it ended in the reviled voice of ten thousand people.
Zhang Xun is an indispensable figure in the modern history of China. He is famous for directing 19 17 12 days for the restoration of the Qing Emperor Xuantong. Zhang Xun was born in poverty and had many charitable acts. He donated money to set up a guild hall in Beijing to help Jiangxi students and the poor in Beijing. Shao Shiping, Fang Zhimin, Zhang, the first governors of Jiangxi, were all Jiangxi students from Peking University at that time. They also used food money to help local victims, orphans and widows in Fengxin. 1965438+July 2, 20071day, Dr. Sun Yat-sen said in a telegram to Lu Rongting, the governor of Guangxi: "Zhang Xun's persistent rebellion is also a crime of loyalty and treason, which should be punished. He loves his Lord and can be pitied. Wen is disrespectful to the true practitioner, although he thinks he is the enemy. " Dr. Sun Yat-sen's comments distinguish Zhang Xun's political attitude and personality and treat them separately. When Zhang Xun was in a high position in the DPRK, he often promoted Jiangxi talents and had many practical policies for Jiangxi.
Zhang Xun Braid Army camped in the Temple of Heaven 1923. On September 12, Zhang died in Tianjin.
1923 12 in September, Zhang Xun died in Tianjin, aged 69, and was given "loyalty" by the deposed emperor Aisin Giorro Puyi. Some restoration figures and their relatives and friends, who are enemies, wrote poems and elegies in succession. After many twists and turns, the coffin was transported back to his hometown of Fengxin, Jiangxi for burial, and countless people in Jiangxi sent it away. Numerous celebrities and dignitaries also wrote elegiac couplets, which became one of the most sensational events in Jiangxi that year. Zhang Xun, the sinner of the democratic revolution, finally died a fair death and was praised by others. Such strange things will only happen in the absurd Republic of China era. The most striking elegiac couplet was written by Zhang and Ouyang Wu, which is a historical joke. At that time, politicians and cultural celebrities called for mourning, and there were countless eulogies, mourning poems and elegies. Later, with the help of a protege, his family specially edited a book "The Funeral Record of Zhang Zhongwu (Xun) in Fengxin", which can be described as a list of gods for fellow travelers. Of course, there are also many celebrities in the Republic of China, which is quite interesting to read.
