Huang Xing’s 共密 telegrams, June 1916

transcription.txt

# 共密 (Gongmi), June-July 1916: cipher groups as re-read by Brice Dudout on the JACAR police copies.
# The forms carry the digits in kanji numerals in a grid, read in columns right to left, top to bottom, sheet after sheet,
# cut into groups of four. One telegram per line: label, then its groups. The clear prefix 0364 1378 (= 共密) is left out.
# "?" = illegible digit. Sheets and dates: decryption.txt.

## N17 — 10 June 1916

President Li has taken office and the general situation is beginning to settle. In my humble view, we must first calm people’s minds and remove coercion. For the most important and urgent matters, please consult secretly with Jiwu, Zu’an and the others, and quickly ask Mr Li to carry out: 1. restore the old Provisional Constitution and the Parliament; 2. issue no amnesty and no order dropping prosecutions; 3. make Duan and the others resign and appoint anew a provisional premier, without readmitting cabinet members who helped Yuan’s rebellion, then, once Parliament meets, form a regular cabinet anew; 4. transfer Wang Zhanyuan and appoint as governor a commander of the people’s army holding strong forces; 5. invite the leading men of the people’s party to Beijing to consult on everything. Moreover, the Japanese authorities have decided not to lend to the Beijing government unless North and South are unified. So Mr Li should not be constrained. For information. — Xing. The 10th.

## N18 — 11 June 1916

Your telegram of the 10th received. If Li and Duan sincerely support the Republic, the people’s party’s demands can naturally be accommodated, and it will not be hard to bring the State onto the proper path of the rule of law. To reach this goal, armed force is needed as support. I fear that for now we cannot let things take their course. The return home will be decided according to circumstances. — Xing. The 11th.

Brother Ke: Tanaka and Koike have both wired Aoki; […] agreed to a loan for me; please, brother, go in person to press the matter — it is essential. — Zhang Ji.

## N32 — 14 June 1916

The old Provisional Constitution can be hoped to be restored; Liang’s faction is favourable. The leading men of Beijing and Shanghai have no hard-line position. Zhongshan has wired his troops to cease fighting and asked your opinion by wire; the reply has already appeared in the press and he will certainly publish it: be careful. Ge, Yin and Huang have wired repeatedly; you must reply. […]

## N27 — 15 June 1916

About Pu’s funds: we have discussed it with the two provinces of […]: no hope. — Xing.

Koike has just said again that if our friend Pu, in his own name, asks Consul Ariyoshi to introduce him, a military […] could lend a small sum. Decide for yourself. — Xing. The 15th.

## N33 — 15 June 1916

Feng is very ambiguous. Another telegram from Beijing: Duan and the others have decided that each province will send three men to Beijing to discuss the Constitution. The Shanghai politicians long knew Liang’s schemes: [to] the Constitution, obtain the cabinet in exchange, with Duan as president. Huang Qun has arrived in Beijing; […] Duan has changed; the Shanghai members of Parliament will meet at once to oppose it. If the old Constitution is not restored, we fear fighting. Watch quietly for now. […]

## N35 — 16 June 1916

Beijing is summoning delegates of the provinces to discuss the Constitution, intending to destroy the Constitution and the Parliament. Let our colleagues […] quickly choose a safe place and convene by themselves, and find a way to persuade the independent provinces not to send delegates. The salt revenue has still not been handed over; at present […] is not free. Duan seems to be taking up Yuan’s old tricks; Parliament should deliberate […], and the diplomatic representatives of the people’s army should say […], asking the foreigners to wait until true unification before handing over [the funds]. — Xing.

## V4E — 2 July 1916

Guangdong has sent someone: the matter is urgent and money is needed. If you care for Guangdong, I, Wen, should go back quickly; I hope you will first advance some funds. […] has already entered Beijing. When are you coming back, and by which ship? Please let me know in advance. […] Wen.
