Secondly, Li is an honest and approachable official, who can share joys and sorrows with soldiers and is deeply loved by soldiers. This may be related to Li's poor birth. Usually, he is more sympathetic to the soldiers, with an open style and no shelf. Intellectuals who enter the camp as soldiers are often exempt from hard labor and given special care; In running the army, temper justice with mercy and set an example. This is in sharp contrast with Zhang Biao. Zhang Biao is a corrupt official. On holidays, he often orders the battalions to give gifts, but instead of receiving money directly, he asks people to send "words". There are three kinds of sending words: Fu, Lu and Shou, in which Fu represents 8 Liang, Lu represents 4 Liang and Shou represents 2 Liang. Everyone must send at least one word, and then deduct it directly from the military salary.
Then there is Li's tolerance for dealing with revolutionary activities. Since 1903, revolutionaries have been serving as soldiers in the army and doing ideological reform for soldiers. These behaviors have been discovered by Li many times, but how generous he is. 1903, Liu Jing' an worked as a document in the Li Pipeline Cavalry and secretly engaged in anti-Manchu propaganda.
Later, Huang Xing wrote to him under the pseudonym of Zhang Shouzheng, and mistakenly entered the hands of Liu Zhiting, a copywriter, who told Li. Li can make a fuss about this matter and deal with Liu Jing 'an seriously. However, Li was worried that there would be revolutionaries in his army, knowing that he would hunt them down and eventually he would be held accountable. Because Li lived a hard life when he was a child, it was not easy to have such a high position, so he came up with the idea of protecting his position, so he made a big deal out of it, and finally pretended that Liu Jingan was ill and sent Liu Ci out of the camp without further investigation. /kloc-at the end of 0/906, after the uprisings of Ping (Xiang), Liu (Yang) and Li (Ling), the Japanese army informed the rebels to respond. Hubei authorities arrested a large number of revolutionaries, including Ji Xianlin, Liu Jingan and Zhang Nanxian, because of this informer. Among them, Ji Xianlin ranks highest, equivalent to platoon leader. After being detained for more than a year, Li Heceng was released on bail on the grounds that Ji Xianlin was ill. Such activities of revolutionaries have happened many times, but Li has never dealt with them strictly. This also makes the revolutionaries have a good impression on Li and think that he is a kind-hearted elder. So after the Revolution of 1911, everyone elected him as the governor. 1893, Sun Yat-sen was practicing medicine in Guangzhou, and Li was a housekeeper on the ship. When a soldier on board was ill, Li invited Sun Yat-sen to see a doctor on board. So they met once, but they didn't have in-depth contact. The second time was after the Revolution of 1911, when Sun Yat-sen became president and vice president, they never met. It was not until Sun Yat-sen resigned as president that Li Cai invited Sun to visit Wuhan in early April, 19 12, and warmly received Sun Yat-sen. Both Sun Yat-sen and Hu spoke highly of Li's contribution and praised him as "the first great man in the Republic of China". Finally, 1924, at the invitation of Feng Yuxiang, Sun Yat-sen went to Beijing to discuss state affairs and passed through Tianjin. Li hosted him in Tianjin. 1March, 925 12, Sun Yat-sen died in Beijing, and Li set up a mourning hall in his home to worship Sun Yat-sen. It should be said that Li had always respected Sun Yat-sen from the very beginning when he came into contact with his death.
At that time, a foreign reporter explicitly asked him, Yuan Shikai wants to be emperor, why do you still follow him? Li said, I don't believe that Yuan Shikai will be an emperor. If Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, I would also get up and beat him. Sure enough, after Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, Li was conferred the title of Prince Wuyi-he was the only one at that time, but Li resolutely resisted. Yuan Shikai forced him to accept the title of Prince Wuyi, and Li said categorically that if he was forced to do so again, he would be killed. Later, the restoration, and Li also firmly resisted. After Yuan Shikai's death, Li served as President and Duan as Executive Dean. But the real power is still in Duan's hands. He didn't have much power at that time. Nevertheless, he did what he could. Specifically, at that time, the ministers of various ministries in the State Council were on the initial pro-section list, and Li said no, he wanted to introduce the Southern Revolutionary Party. Results Among the nine ministries, Sun, Gu Zhongxiu, Galazeng and Chen Jintao were revolutionaries. 1923 In September, Li came to Shanghai. To his surprise, Lu Yongxiang and the two battles to protect the army made him very cold to LAM Raymond. He called representatives from all provinces to his apartment to talk. Deputy Wang Jingwei from Guangdong said, I admire Mr. Li very much, but I am not interested in organizing the government in Shanghai. Representatives from other provinces said that the opinions of the governors should be sought first. He even issued a notice: if there is any behavior that disturbs order and public order, no matter who it is, it must be dealt with. ...
165438+1At the beginning of October, Li went to Japan for recuperation by boat. I returned to Tianjin after half a year and never asked about politics again. He began to invest in industry when he just retired to Tianjin, and now he is more focused on it. According to relevant data, he has invested in more than 70 banks, factories and mines, with an amount of not less than 3 million yuan, and also donated money for education.
1926 5438+00 In June, he had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. During his illness, one of his two peacocks suddenly died.
Two years later, Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expeditionary Army went to Shandong to confiscate Zhongxing Coal Mine, and Lebanon invested the most. He hurried to find someone to dredge Chiang. Jiang said, "I can't confiscate other people's money, and I can't confiscate Li Huangpi's. "However, he first allocated 6,543,800 yuan of short-term bonds to ZTE, and then paid 6,543,800 yuan. In order to raise money, Li has tried his best.
1928 On May 25th, he suddenly fainted while watching the horse race. 1 June, I asked my secretary to draft a will and warned my children to engage in industry and not to ask about politics. Two days later, 65-year-old Li died in his apartment. Another peacock also died at this time. The next morning, Zhang was bombed in Huanggutun. The era of Beiyang warlords is coming to an end.
Li's will published by telegram includes: convening a national assembly as soon as possible to solve the current political disputes; Carry out the policy of reclamation, turn soldiers into farmers and workers, and don't make them displaced; Revitalize industry and protect people's rights according to law; The revolution is a last resort, and I hope that once and for all, the people will recuperate as soon as possible; Early determination of political policy and educational purpose; Since it is People's Republic of China (PRC), any creation that does not conflict with the state system should be maintained, so please don't discuss the dispute lightly; Peaceful reunification will benefit the country and enrich the people.
At the opening ceremony, his sworn enemy and his old neighbor Duan (less than two kilometers apart) also came to the mourning hall. "After three bows, I sighed in shame, as if I had infinite regret." .
