Time will never stop because of any of us, because no one is anyone's good day, and no one is at the end of anyone's road. If you can't hold the fine sand, it's better to raise it casually. The days go on, and the mileage of life never ends. After reincarnation again and again, we will find that the old man of time is still looking at us with that young eye, with concern and relief in his eyes, and even a little worry. Even if it is an elegy of the Great Qing Dynasty, month after month has passed, the smoke and clouds of Beijing, the cold and summer have changed, and it has reached the twilight of the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu.

This year, the days of Beiyang were also very sad, not only the plan to expand the third phase of the army was stranded, but even the current ten towns and five mixed associations were barely maintained, Yuan Shikai had almost picked on his anger several times, and was persuaded by Xu Juren, Yang Shiqi, and Liang Shiyi to barely hold back. After the big change of blood, the town of Wuyi New Army was stationed in Cangzhou, Dezhou, and then picked a newly built association to enter the Beijing Nanyuan training ground to form a town of the Praetorian Guard, during which there were no fewer officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Army, Yuan Shikai also lost his temper, and he did not know Tieliang and Yinchang in general.

Wu Chenxuan was almost forgotten, almost living an otaku life in his small courtyard, during which he also had academic exchanges with several visiting experts in physics, chemistry and pharmacy, and later simply went to Peiyang University Hall to make a cameo appearance as a physics professor for a period of time. He opened a small laboratory on a teaching building on the shore of Weiming Lake and instructed several disciples to start research on radiophysics. On the other hand, the Daqing Laboratory of the Bell Siemens-Standard Enterprise also laid the foundation stone in a courtyard of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the Daqing Dynasty, and Wu Chenxuan also went here to do some experiments in his spare time, guiding them to carry out short-wave communication experiments, during which the improved miniature short-wave radio stations became a necessary artifact for spies in various countries, in addition to supplying dozens of radio stations in two places, it was through letting Bell and Siemens sell them to the governments and intelligence agencies of European and American countries on an OEM basis, and what is surprising is that the largest users of short-wave radio stations are actually stock exchanges and the military. These more than 5,000 sets of radio stations alone have kept Wu Chenxuan's fledgling Standard Electric Company busy. A production line introduced from Mercedes-Benz, although it can only produce four-wheeled trucks and some diesel versions of two-seater cars for the time being, but the promotion speed of motorcycles is obviously above the car, especially the three-wheeled motorcycle has become the new favorite of many urban wealthy families, the roaring throttle, iron helmet and leather jacket, so that the youth of Shandong have become the world's first batch of punks, and soon driving three-wheeled magic and two-wheeled motorcycles have become the favorite of many rich young people in the world. It seems that a hundred years later, chasing the Porsche 911 and the current young people riding 500cc motorcycles all over the world are in the same line.

Another key project in Shandong is the shipyard in Rizhao Port, this shipyard in addition to Japanese capital and the introduction of British and German capital, the scale has been repeatedly expanded, has become the largest shipyard in the Far East beyond the Japanese port of Kure, of course, all kinds of merchant ships of more than 10,000 tons, although the Japanese are red-eyed, but not to feel threatened, this is also the key to the Japanese government and navy to maintain restraint, no matter how large the fat cow is, there is no threat, in the eyes of the combined fleet, a 10,000-ton cruise ship is not as good as a fish* The Thunder Speedboat was a threat, but they ignored the fact that the experience accumulated by Shandong's shipbuilding enterprises could quickly support the manufacture of military ships. Of course, when Wu Chenxuan launches a container cargo ship, it will not be too extravagant to hope that the British and Japanese combined fleets will still be such a gentleman.

The Wuyi New Army is also quietly carrying out several reforms, but it has not attracted the special attention of any domestic and foreign forces for the time being, and they may always feel that the pure army force of 100,000 people, or perhaps less than 100,000 people, is not a fixed star for the entire Qing Dynasty. However, what surprised them was that first of all, the middle town of the Wuyi New Army was not canceled because of the dismissal, but was preserved in the name of the left town and the right town and transferred to the northern Jiangsu region to be stationed, forming the left town in the east, the right town in the west, the former town in the north, and the middle town in the south, all of which were stationed within 300 kilometers around Jinan Prefecture, and the rear town was a mobile force that was often rotated with several other towns, and the town of Yizhen guarded eastern Zhejiang and developed to the southern Anhui region, becoming an enclave of the Wuyi New Army. Fortunately, the second and third batches were all soldiers who had expanded the army on a large scale that year, and their military quality was good, and they also became the backbone of the first-class reserve, and primary and secondary schools in various places began military physical education courses, and most of the 15 to 17-year-old teenagers with good conditions took the initiative to join the "Cadet Army" and became a team that had undergone basic tactical training, in addition to those who voluntarily joined the army. Although most of them will not enter the army, these young people who have been trained in queues, tactics, shooting, and marching are no longer undisciplined ordinary people, and their military quality is not even weaker than that of soldiers in many local patrol battalions. In addition, with the support of the new armed forces, a series of non-governmental organizations of paramilitary clubs, such as the "Sea Club," the "Aviation Club," the "Mountain Club," the "Motorcycle Club," and the "Shooting Club," have been well restored to the martial arts atmosphere among the people in Shandong, and the reserve of qualified personnel with a certain military quality or with the skills required by the military has increased to 450,000 people, including nearly 70,000 veterans who have been retired for one or two years, and 270,000 men and women "junior soldiers." 100,000 motorcycles, cars, airplanes and mechanics trained by the club, as well as many sharpshooters and mountaineering enthusiasts, although the 100,000 Wuyi New Army actually has the foundation of threefold expansion in the short term, which also makes the opponents who are right with the Wuyi New Army in the future very painful, because even if they eliminate all the active troops, but the additional reservists are also qualified soldiers, so that the opponent always feels that the hard-earned results are meaningless to be replaced by the follow-up soldiers.

There has been a slight change in the annual ring of history here, at this time Cixi has felt that she can temporarily suppress the armed forces of the Han people, and can give an explanation to the ancestors and ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, and she lacks the desire to survive when she has nothing to do, and her body completely collapsed.

But Cixi still has a knot in her heart, that is, the emperor on Yingtai, her nephew. Why, regardless of the fact that Guangxu and Cixi are politically incompatible, and the contradictions are acute. Just from the article that Guangxu intended to trap or simply assassinate Cixi in the Wuxu Reform, it was enough for the self-centered Cixi to hate Guangxu to death, but according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, it was impossible to abolish the establishment casually, so four or five days after the failure of the Wuxu Reform, she issued an edict in the name of Guangxu, looking for famous doctors from all over the country to enter Beijing to treat Guangxu's illness, and made a big show to create public opinion that Guangxu was not in good health. This is clearly a lie, even if Guangxu is a little sick, the palace hospital, the Tongrentang outside the palace and the major famous medical halls, there is no need to notify the whole country and invite famous doctors from all over the country to treat Guangxu, in fact, she is preparing to kill Guangxu. At that time, more than 1,200 Shanghai businessmen and gentry jointly sent a power message to request the protection of Guangxu, and overseas Chinese all over the country also reacted strongly. The foreign minister was concerned about Guangxu's safety, and insisted that the French doctor enter the palace to see Guangxu, and the French doctor said after reading that Guangxu was in good health and there was nothing wrong with him. The second thing she did was to set up the eldest brother, that is, the crown prince, not only found it, but also entered the palace. In fact, Cixi did these two things very stupidly, so that everyone could understand at a glance, but this Lafayette has always been the lord of "whoever makes me unhappy for a while, I call him unhappy for the rest of his life", so Guangxu's life has become her heart disease.

Although Cixi had long wanted to abolish Guangxu, it was only because of the opposition of the government and the opposition that she did not act immediately after weighing the pros and cons. But there is one thing she always thinks about in her heart, that is: the emperor will not die behind me. She was afraid that she would die first, and Guangxu would return to power and overturn the old case, so she hoped to create the illusion that Guangxu was weak and sick and died first. However, it backfired, but she herself was terminally ill first, so she couldn't wait to use extreme measures.

Maybe it's Cui Yugui or maybe it's Xiao Dezhang, and even the head of Li Daguan, who has been living in seclusion in Kagura, and Yuan Datou, who is far away in Tianjin, all have the motivation to become the main messenger of the assassination, in a word, there are too many people who are afraid that Guangxu is alive, and these people can decide Guangxu's life and death, in this case, the direct cause of the death of the Qing Emperor is said to be neurasthenia, which is considered to be normal, and if he didn't die of hide and seek, even if Guangxu's ancestor accumulated virtue. However, when he was about to die, His Majesty the Emperor was still very willful, and he refused to let others move him to the Longevity Palace, which violated the precedent of the Great Qing Kingdom. Because whenever the ruler of the Qing Kingdom died, he was designated to be placed in this palace. Finally, he died before he could put on the shroud that he should have worn on such an occasion. And his own father Cixi Lafayette also died at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the next day, only more than 20 hours before and after, which can be regarded as the best ending of the life of the two grievances. Of course, the official has officially announced the death of the empress dowager, and the palace has only announced the death of Emperor Guangxu, but all this is meaningless. It is believed that His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had been dead for a long time before the official obituary was issued.

Later, the famous doctor Qu Guiting said that three days before Guangxu's death, he "rolled around in bed", "yelled at me that his stomach hurt terribly", and "this department has little to do with previous diseases" ("Diagnosis and Treatment of Emperor Guangxu's Secrets"). According to Mr. Dai Yi's research, the testimonies were provided by Yun Yuding, a living official who had accompanied Guangxu for a long time, a doctor who treated Emperor Guangxu, the son of Zeng Chong, a minister of internal affairs, Xuantong, the heir of Emperor Guangxu, Deling, who accompanied Cixi, and Wu Tingfang, a high-ranking official who had long predicted Guangxu's death. Everyone thinks that Guangxu was poisoned and died. Therefore, 30 years ago, most people in the historical community and society believed in this theory. Mr. Dai Yi pointed out: "Although there are differences and contradictions in the details of what many people say, they all speculate or affirm that Guangxu was poisoned to death. Who is the murderer? Most say it is Cixi, others say it is Yuan Shikai or Li Lianying. In fact, it doesn't matter who killed Guangxu, because in terms of the conditions and environment at that time, if there was no envoy or instruction from the Empress Dowager Cixi, it should be said that no one dared or could kill Guangxu. However, for the death of the two supreme rulers, perhaps people think more about the impact on themselves.

The bodies of Guangxu and Cixi, who plotted to seize power, were enshrined together in a smoke-filled room, with two eerie faces covered in thick pearl powder, and Qing court guards standing with swords on either side of the body. "The traditional funeral rites that have been passed down for 3,000 years announce the death of His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother. At the end of their lives, they were surrounded by a group of lowly guardians, but they died alone and unnoticed, as these caretakers could not approach their divine monarch and kept more than a foot away from their masters. ”

This is the scene in the mourning hall that Wu Chenxuan saw when he went to pay homage to the remains, he recorded all this with his button camera with a bad taste, and may win the Oscar for Best Documentary, I hope the prize money is enough for Wu Chenxuan to add another squadron of swifts to the flight team, so that these two life and death enemies can do the only beneficial thing in their lives for this country.
