At that time, the governors of the three northeastern provinces were bent on suppressing Japan when the Japanese invaded the three northeastern provinces. Yuan Shikai tried to pull him over when his subordinates resolutely refused, but he didn't mean to build a new China. He was preoccupied with the survival of the Qing Dynasty and has been sorting out the history of the Qing Dynasty ever since.
Among them, there are two people, one is Zhang and the other is Zhang Xun. Zhang has always wanted to restore. I helped Yuan Shikai and tried to restore Yuan Shikai to the throne, but I failed. Later, he began to help zhang xun restoration again, but failed again. Then he was taken to prison, but he used some money to escape from the prison. Finally, he spent his old age with Zhang Xun.
Song Tao, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, always wanted to rebel, but he didn't have an army under him, so he gave weapons to the people at that time and wanted them to rebel, but later he failed. After the failure, he also chose to commit suicide. The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is the most ferocious of the nine of them. He directly turned to the Japanese to help them do the latter things, and later Japan failed. He knew he couldn't live any longer, so he chose to commit suicide.
Some of the remaining governors run schools to give lectures to help our country develop, and some also defected to the Japanese to help them, and finally ended up committing suicide. Others, without restoration or refuge with the Japanese, went home to spend their twilight years. So after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the nine of them had no power. If he can be more stable, he can spend his old age with peace of mind. If he has other ideas, then maybe his fate will be even worse.
