Chapter 557: The World is Impermanent
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Jingshi Railway Station was not built in Dongcheng District, but was built directly opposite the current Zhengyangmen, and later the governments of all walks of life moved the location of the Jingshi Railway Station several times for the development of Jingshi. www.biquge.info Of course, the largest railway station is the Zhengyangmen Railway Station, where the main square is located in the future, so Wang Yongan got off the train and saw Tian#Anmen in the distance, and then what caught his eyes was the people of Beijing who warmly welcomed Wang Yongan's arrival.
Speaking of which, everyone's emotions towards Wang Yongan are very complicated, there are millions of banner people alive in Jingshi, but Wang Yongan is the leader of the second largest force that overthrew the Manchu government, and it stands to reason that the people of Jingshi should oppose Wang Yongan. However, Wang Yongan led the Jiangbei Army to defeat the Japanese, and after the two battles, he gave the Japanese great humiliation, greatly boosted the hearts of the people, and made it very complicated for the people to look at him. Some people scolded him for being a chaotic minister and a thief, some people scolded him for bringing disaster to the country and the people, but some people praised him as a national hero, the backbone of the nation, and so on.
After all, during the revolution in the south, many people persecuted the banner people in the city under the banner of revolution, and called it revolution, but in fact they robbed finances, killed people to vent their anger, hated the rich and killed the noble, and in the places affected by Jiangbei and the Jiangbei Army, the banner people were not affected, and Jiangbei can be said to have evolved into a republican government peacefully, and no one made any trouble -- in other words, the independence of Jiangbei was not a real revolution, and it did not have much impact on the people at the bottom.
Of course, it is different for young people, Wang Yongan led the Jiangbei Army to resist the Japanese at a young age, this is what young people do, this is the road that China should take in the future, rise, forge ahead, and become independent!
So tens of thousands of young people came to the front of the train station with banners to welcome Wang Yongan's arrival, and even screamed and lost their voices, and some people were crowded and trampled and injured, when Wang Yongan stepped off the train, Zhengyangmen Railway Station screamed to the sky, they held high banners and shouted enthusiastically, as if fans in the future met stars as fanatical.
Wang Yongan lost his body a little for a while, Meng Qingfu hurriedly walked in front of Wang Yongan, blocked any danger, and then came to the hall of the railway station under the escort of the Jiangbei Army.
Regarding Wang Yongan's security issue, after a simple communication between the Jiangbei Army and the Beiyang side, the Beiyang soldiers were responsible for the peripheral security, and the Jiangbei Army Guard Battalion was responsible for the internal security. The military uniform of the Beiyang Army has always been blue-gray, wearing a large cap, a cross armed belt, and a Hanyang-made rifle on his back, and his stature is generally more than 1.8 meters. The soldiers of the Jiangbei Army wore green military uniforms, pennies, a Mauser pistol and a bullet box magazine on the waist, a short blade with a sheath on the side waist, and high-top leather boots on their feet, and most of them were between 1.7 and 1.75 meters. So in terms of height, the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army look a little smaller, especially the soldiers of the Beiyang Army wearing big caps, and they look much taller than the Jiangbei Army.
The people crowded, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Beiyang Army and the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army worked together to control the enthusiastic people, and finally eliminated the anxiety in Mier.
"Brother Jingyun, you're finally here." It was no one else who came to receive him, Yuan Naikuan, who was officially very close to Wang Yongan, and the two were old acquaintances, so they warmly shook each other's hands as soon as they came up. Now Yuan Naikuan's identity is already the prime minister's yamen, specially for Yuan Shikai to welcome guests from all sides, it can be said that his status is very prominent.
After the two shook hands, they got on the train, and Yuan Naikuan said: "The station is simple, and the safety is unfavorable, so please ask Brother Jingyun to go to the Jingshi Hotel with me." ”
After the Gengzi incident, the two Frenchmen established a tavern on the east side of the barracks in Dongjiaomin Lane, and the two moved the tavern to the north side of the barracks after the Gengzi indemnity was negotiated in the second year, and officially hung out the signboard of the Jingshi Hotel, and in 1903 the Jingshi Hotel moved to the south entrance of Wangfujing on Chang'an Street. In 1907, the Sino-French Industrial Company took over the Jingshi Hotel and expanded it into a five-storey luxury hotel, which has since become a place for foreigners and Chinese dignitaries to stay in Beijing.
Wang Yongan entered the Jingshi Hotel this time, and the Beiyang Army paid for the room on the top floor, and the treatment can be said to be extremely luxurious. At the same time, more than 50 people from the Jiangbei Military Guard Battalion were in charge of the Jingshi Hotel, and the rest lived around the Jingshi Hotel and protected Wang Yongan's safety 24 hours a day.
The car slowly left from the train station, and the screaming people along the road were blocked far away, Wang Yongan knew that it was not appropriate to say hello at this time, so he talked about the old with Yuan Naikuan.
The cavalry of the Beiyang Army escorted all the way, and although the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army walked, the speed of the car was not fast, everyone could keep up, and they had been protected by Wang Yongan, but it was also safe.
Wang Yongan asked about Yang Jinzhao, a staff member of the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Naikuan, Mr. Yang passed away last year, Wang Yongan asked what illness he had, Yuan Naikuan sighed and said: "Mr. Yang died of drinking by himself." ”
"Drink to death?" Wang Yongan was shocked.
Yuan Naikuan said with emotion: "Since Yuan Shikai trusted Yang Huizi, Mr. Yang has become more and more unused, and later Yuan Shikai went to Beijing, but did not take Mr. Yang with him. Mr. Yang resigned in a fit of rage, returned to his hometown and borrowed alcohol every day to kill his sorrows, and finally one day after drinking too much, he fell down from the small bridge and drowned. At first, everyone thought that he was murdered, and Yuan Gong specially invited the best head catcher in Beijing to investigate the case, but he didn't expect to find out that he fell and drowned himself after drinking, which is really embarrassing. ”
Wang Yongan sighed: "He helped me a lot back then, but I didn't expect that a farewell would become a permanent secret, and the world is really impermanent." ”
Yuan Naikuan smiled and said: "Yes, the world is impermanent, and I didn't expect you to become the king of Jiangbei." ”
Wang Yongan laughed and said, "I didn't expect that if it weren't for my brother, I'm afraid I wouldn't have become the leader of the Jiangbei Army." ”
Yuan Naikuan couldn't help but ask, "How is the condition of the second general?" ”
Wang Yongan said: "It's been controlled, but don't be tired, my second brother's illness must be recuperated." ”
Yuan Naikuan said: "The second general is now in St. Lucas, so he should be able to recuperate." ”
"I hope so." Wang Yongan smiled bitterly, "How can people really break away from the ordinary, it's just that my second brother is unwilling to trouble me in San Lucas, and the San Lucas government is now subject to the Mexican government, and San Lucas is still a foreign place." ”
Yuan Naikuan said: "It is rumored that St. Lucas is a holy place for the Chinese people, and if anyone who commits a crime overseas, as long as he flees to St. Lucas, no country will dare to hold him accountable." ”
Wang Yongan was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this rumor aimed at St. Lucas, saying that St. Lucas is a place of crime?" ”
"Exactly." Yuan Naikuan said, "So I remind you, don't say that conspiracies are everywhere, you are not in St. Lucas, and in a few years, St. Lucas will not know that it is still not a Chinese place." ”
Wang Yongan frowned, Yuan Naikuan had something to say.
