Chapter 932: Coup d'état
As soon as Cixi Lafayette gave the order, Emperor Guangxu became a noble prisoner with a crown, and the rest of the people could only end up more desolate. Martial law was imposed in Gyeonggi, and all the soldiers of the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, were dispatched and began to arrest all members of the Kang Party. The old lady doesn't hate the reformers, what she hates is Kang Youwei, the imperial party officials can continue to be officials in the court, but Kang Youwei must be cut with a thousand knives. However, Kang Dasheng has already slipped away, and now all he can catch is some Kang Youwei's party members.
Yang Rui and Lin Xu, who are still working in the Military Aircraft Department, were the first to be arrested, and they were the closest! Lin Xu knew something inside, but he was also calm, looked at the free sky, sighed slightly, and left with a smile. Yang Rui was awkward for a while, he was not afraid, but asked a very strange question: "Lin Xu is the main master, you are right, but why are you arresting me?" "Yang Rui is really wronged! Although he is the most trusted person in Guangxu, he has little to do with Kang Youwei, he is Zhang Zhidong's person, he scolded Kang Youwei is not less than the Hou Party, but now the Kang Party is arrested with him, of course he can't accept it. Tan Sitong and Yuan Shikai mentioned the secret edict, and Guangxu's secret edict was issued to Yang Rui, and it was difficult for Yang Rui to take himself out.
Liu Guangdi was not in office, he was contacting Zhang Zhidong to study whether to find a way to fish Guangxu out, but in the telegraph room, he got the news that the imperial court had wantonly arrested Kang Dang, and Yang Rui of the Military Aircraft Department had been arrested. Liu Guang didn't run the first and didn't hide, but after settling down with his family, he went to the Yamen to surrender himself. Liu Guangdi and Yang Rui are both Zhang Zhidong's people, and if they abscond, they will cause trouble for Zhang Zhidong. And Liu Guangdi knows very well that he and Yang Rui are both anti-Kang Youwei, and there is a lot of evidence, even if the court arrests the wrong person for a while, they will soon be able to prove their innocence. Reasonably, his voice is naturally high, how could Liu Guangdi let the soldiers arrest him, and he himself came to the door to explain the situation.
Relatively strong is Yang Shenxiu, this buddy took the lead before Cixi ordered to take people, publicly accusing Cixi of the coup d'état, and asking Cixi to return to power in Guangxu. This kind of twist and turn has no meaning other than looking for death, so Yang Shenxiu didn't wait for a reply, and directly packed up his things and ran to Nanyuan, he wanted to persuade Dong Fuxiang, who was stationed in Nanyuan. Yang Shenxiu was ready to persuade Dong Fuxiang to lead his troops anyway, raise troops to attack Beijing City, and rescue Guangxu. Of course, Yang Shenxiu, a literati, didn't move so fast, and was caught before he left Beijing.
"Kang Youwei ran away? Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao can't find it? After Cixi received the results of the arrest, she almost died of anger, what is the use of catching a few Zhang Jing or something, what she wants to arrest is Kang Youwei, who provokes the relationship between their mother and son and wants her life.
"They may have to flee overseas, I will let the overseas coordinate the arrest, and at the same time note possible countries not to accept Kang Youwei and others!" Guo Xing'a has long known that Kang Youwei will run away, but now that there is no Japan, Kang Youwei will not be able to run far.
"Liang Qichao is just an ignorant child, he is just attached to Kang, and he runs away, but Kang's relatives and Tan Si are the same villains, and no one can be let go!" Cixi didn't care much about Liang Qichao, although Liang Qichao's reputation among the people was not small, but he hadn't seen Guangxu, and he was young, so the old lady naturally didn't care, she just wanted to kill Kang Youwei to vent her anger.
The efficiency of the infantry army commander Yamen was really low, and the old lady was furious, and they were still slow to arrest people, and only that night did they arrest Xu Zhijing and Zhang Yinhuan, two leading figures in the imperial party. It is understandable that the old lady Cixi wanted to send people to the South China Sea to delay for a while, but Kang Youwei's brother Kang Guangren, who was wandering around Beijing all day, was not arrested, and it was the sincerity of the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army.
The commander of the infantry army, the Yamen, has always been vigorous and resolute, but this time he seemed to be hemiplegic and slow, all because the people who did the work had scruples in their hearts. Don't look at the old ministers in the court as if they are going to eat Guangxu, in fact, the hearts of the people below are still very empty. When Cixi returned to power in Guangxu, it was not an ordinary resoluteness, and Kang Youwei's old club, a certain imperial historian, was never used because of the retention of Cixi. This time the ghost knows what the wind direction is, in case Lafayette's anger disappears in a few days, and Guangxu is back! The old ministers who have been rectified by Guangxu to death can not be scrupulous, and others still want to work for a few more years! Cixi is over sixty years old, Guangxu is young and ruthless, even if Lafayette will not forgive Guangxu for a while, Guangxu will come back sooner or later to counterattack. Even Cixi's cronies Rong Lu are expecting Ai Ai, and others can grind and rub, but they are all Guangxu's pro-henchmen this time! The commander of the infantry army, Yamen, wished that these uncles had run away!
The eldest brothers of the infantry army commander Yamen thought very plumply, but the reality was very skinny. Except for a few minority factions such as Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, most of the imperial party henchmen are all hard bones, and none of these people have run away, all of them are lying in Beijing waiting for death! Even Kang Youwei's younger brother Kang Guangren didn't move in the Nanhai Hall, this guy is not even an official, so naturally he can't talk about Guangxu's henchmen, he didn't run away because he felt that he didn't have anything to do with himself.
Kang Guangren also ran a newspaper and advocated the Restoration, but he was not a reformist, and he had nothing to do with political struggles, he was an out-and-out businessman. Whether it is running a newspaper or advocating reform, it is just doing business for profit. Kang Youwei did something, he didn't know very well, and he felt that it had nothing to do with him, so he naturally continued to do his business. When the infantry commander Yamen found the Nanhai Guild Hall, Kang Guangren was still talking about business! Then identified by his own cook, Kang Guangren was unfortunately arrested, and he was also the most lively among the arrested princes.
Three days later, Tan Sitong, who made the biggest trouble, was also unfortunately arrested in Liuyang Hall. Tan Si and his old man are Tan Jixun, the governor of Hubei, and he himself is one of the four chapters of the military aircraft, and he is definitely the biggest figure in the reform faction. Moreover, Tan Sitong not only has good skills, but also has 300 Huguang dead soldiers under his command, that is, the legendary group of people who want to dig up treasures, and they have a certain combat effectiveness, which is the most difficult to catch. But Tan Sitong did not resist, but tied his hands and obediently handed over some of his private weapons. Tan Sitong is also the one who knows the most about what happened among the arrested people, he seems to know the consequences of being arrested, and he has a posture of calmly going to death, and he is still muttering about rewarding the Holy Lord or something.
"Eldest sister, everyone who ran has already run, and everything that can be caught has been caught, do you want to let Gangyi and Ronglu interrogate it!" Although the reformers planned to raid the Old Summer Palace and bring them all with them, Guo Xing'a still felt that it was too absurd to kill them after besieging the garden, and wanted to try it out to see if there was anything hidden.
"Fifth brother, you have always been called a great general, but have you ever seen a great general's saber?" Cixi sharpened her knife for many days, but in the end, she had to use a knife that had not been sharpened since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
