Why does Zhang Xun remember the Qing Dynasty?

Zhang Xun has always dreamed that he can hold power, command the world, and be a king like the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Xun finally died of illness.

Zhang Xun (December 14, 1854, September 11, 1923), formerly known as Zhang He, the word Shaoxuan, Shaoxuan, the old man Songshou, the nickname Zhongwu, was a native of Fengxin County, Jiangxi Province, and a modern Beiyang warlord in China. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, he served as the governor of Yunnan, Gansu and Jiangnan.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, in order to show his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xun forbade his subordinates to cut braids, and was called "Braided Shuai". In 1913, he suppressed the Yuan army. Later, he served as the Yangtze River patrol envoy and the Anhui overseer.

In 1917 it was mediated"The battle between the government and the court"In the name of this, he led his troops into Beijing, and on July 1, he and Kang Youwei supported the restoration of Puyi, but on the 12th they were defeated by the "rebel army" of the Anhui warlord Duan Qirui and fled to the Dutch legation in China. He later died of illness in Tianjin.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to those old and young people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was a small Beiyang warlord who was also among them. At that time, in order to show their break with the Qing court, everyone cut off the disgraceful braid hanging from the back of their heads. But in order to express his nostalgia and loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, this person not only did not cut his braids, but also strictly ordered his subordinates not to cut their braids.

As a result, his army became a unique landscape, and people jokingly called it the "Braided Army". Later, this little warlord reached the pinnacle, and actually saw an opportunity to stage a "restoration" drama, leaving a funny and ugly mark in Chinese history. This little warlord is Zhang Xun.

Why is Zhang Xun's affection for the Qing Dynasty so "deep"? This relationship starts with his relationship with Cixi. After the Gengzi Kingdom changed, Cixi fled westward.

Later, Li Hongzhang was ordered to do everything in the capital, the Eight-Nation Alliance withdrew its troops, and Cixi decided to go home. At that time, it was Yuan Shikai's subordinate Zhang Xun who was sent to escort Cixi back to Beijing. At this time, Zhang Xun's position was the commander of the first battalion of the right wing of the Wuwei Right Army, which was equivalent to the current regiment commander.

Zhang Xun is a very active person, and he also has the means to drill camps. On the way to escort Cixi, he did his best to serve Cixi very comfortably. Cixi had a very good impression of him.

Moreover, in order to let Li Lianying speak for himself in front of Cixi, he actually lowered his figure and handed Li Lianying a protégé post. Soon, he and Li Lianying had a hot fight.

With Cixi's good impression and Li Lianying's matchmaking, Zhang Xun's career is bullish all the way. After escorting Cixi to the capital safely, Cixi not only let Zhang Xun lead the army to stay in the palace and continue to serve as a guard, but also gave him the official position of "admiral". This made Zhang Xun grateful, so he worked harder.

In order to prevent the soldiers of the escort from being lazy, or from having any accidents. Zhang Xun personally patrols every night. Cixi saw all this in her eyes and appreciated Zhang Xun's loyalty and responsibility.

Cixi is a heroine who is very good at winning people's hearts. When she saw Zhang Xun patrolling, she would sometimes call Zhang Xun to her side to chat for a while, shushing the cold and asking for warmth. This made Zhang Xun even more grateful.

Moreover, Cixi and Zhang Xun seem to have a good chat. According to the later recollections of the guards at the time, Cixi would also joke with Zhang Xun. For example, when she saw Zhang Xun patrolling, Cixi would deliberately say loudly to the palace maids around her

Zhang Xun is here, take care of our puppy, and be careful to let him steal it.

Why did Cixi deliberately say it out loud? Naturally, he wanted Zhang Xun to hear this joke. Did Zhang Xun hear it?

Even the guards can hear it, but Zhang Xun naturally won't hear it. How would Zhang Xun feel when he heard the jokes that the majestic Lafayette said to him? It's not hard to guess, right?

Therefore, I think that the reason why Zhang Xun never forgot the Manchu Qing had a lot to do with Cixi's "favor" to him. Otherwise, as a big old man who relied on Yuan Shikai's promotion to ascend to the position, he should be the same as other Beiyang generals, only loyal to Lao Yuan.

The reason why Zhang Xun was obsessed with the Qing Dynasty was because Zhang Xun resisted the revolution, he was a feudal and conservative person, so he strongly advocated the restoration of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Xun has always received a feudal education since he was a child, so he will naturally have his heart for the Qing Dynasty, and he will not let the Qing Dynasty perish, so he will always remember the Qing Dynasty.

I want to learn from Cao Cao! Coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and then level the world! Ambition is ambitious, but thinking is outdated.

Zhang Xun was loyal to the Qing Dynasty and was all pretended.

The Han people deliberately brought wild seeds, risking to be full of Mengbaqi disciples. Such a thing, why not tell the Manmeng Eight Banners.

The Qing Dynasty treats Zhang Xun not thinly Zhang Xun treats the Qing Dynasty not thinly.

I couldn't stand up after kneeling for a long time.

Because Zhang Xun has a brain disease.

Zhang Xun was the first person who was unwilling to look at the current situation.

Every dynasty has die-hard people, such as the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty.

On the one hand, it is because Zhang Xun has received the favor of the Empress Dowager Cixi and others, and on the other hand, because Zhang Xun himself is a loyal and patriotic person.

On the one hand, it is because Cixi is very good at winning people's hearts. Cixi's grace to him is unparalleled. It is also to repay Cixi's appreciation.

Because the Qing Dynasty had the grace to promote Zhang Xun, and Zhang Xun was also loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty fell, and he still remembered it.

Because Zhang Xun wanted to reach the peak of his power through the Qing Dynasty, after all, the defense was very great, and this was something that everyone had to do.

You can keep your own braids, who cares about you?
