In the fourth year of the Republic of China, President Yuan Da finally accepted the appointment of the emperor with the support of the people all over the country, changed the Republic of China to the "Chinese Empire", and ordered the abolition of the Republic of China era, and changed the fifth year of the Republic of China to the "first year of Hongxian", known as the "Hongxian Empire" in history. The celebration of the whole country in the north and the condemnation of the whole country in the south took place almost simultaneously.

The most concerned canonization orders came down together, and Li Yuanhong was named Prince Wuyi, Kong Lingyi was enshrined as the Holy Duke of Yan, and the title of King of Jiajun was added, and Feng Guozhang was awarded the title of first-class duke. Cai Yi is a first-class Marquis of Yiwu and a duke, Tang Jiyao is a first-class Marquis of Yiwu, Lu Rongting is a first-class Marquis, and Li Chunfeng is a first-class Marquis. Xu Shichang is the secretary of state, Yang Du is the secretary of the young secretary, and there are nearly six or seven hundred people who were added to the rank of knight with President Yuan Da that day, and Chang Zhenbang, the two poles of the semi-Beiyang, were all crowned as first-class viscounts and earls.

After the news of President Yuan's accession to the throne as emperor reached Jiujiang, Liu Bancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, the movement to restore the imperial system for more than a year, made him physically and mentally exhausted, and the family wealth was spent like water. Liu Bancheng summed it up a little, and the money spent on the imperial movement was really about the same as the price of buying an official in Nancheng, and it was not a loss, so he immediately thanked Chang Zhenbang for his kindness and went to office happily.

The court was bright, Chang Zhenbang became the viscount of the empire, Lu Xiaozhu naturally became a fate, for this result Chen Die was really angry and hateful but there was no way, so he had to fight for the position of the viscount's son, at this time Chang Zhenbang can be regarded as a child, Chen Die's son Xiao Chang Chen was given the name Chang Guozhang by Master Chang, Lu Xiaozhu gave birth to twins not long ago, and they are both boys, according to the previous agreement, a son passed to the Lu family, given the name Lu Guorong, a son named Chang Guowei, Niu Hongyun gave birth to a girl, It is Chang Luohua, this Luo is the Luo of Luoshui, Hua is the Hua of Hua, together it is the essence of Luoshui, and it can be regarded as a sustenance of homesickness. Poor Xiaoling was tossed apart by Chang Zhenbang, but her stomach was really angry, fortunately, Chang Zhenbang let her take care of the back kitchen, and she was more or less a small leader among the subordinates, but she was not satisfied, and still tried all kinds of remedies for having children, after all, in such a big family, no children, especially no boys, dare not imagine the future life.

Chang Guozhang and Chang Guowei, the innocent and cute little brothers, squeaked and played happily when they were together, but they didn't know their identities at all, Lu Xiaozhu and Chen Die fought again, if it weren't for the fact that Fourth Uncle Chang had taken over all the chores in the family early, so that the subordinates did not dare to be too presumptuous, which did not make things out of control, but in the open and secret battles, many subordinates were forced to stand in line.

"Young Master, Lady Fluttershy and Lady Xiaozhu are fighting fiercely for the position of the Viscount's prince, do you think it would be better to report the candidate for the prince to the court earlier, and the family would be calmer." The fourth uncle said softly.

Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said, "What is there to fight for this kind of thing?" The court has its own laws! ”

Fourth Uncle Chang asked, "Do you mean to establish a young master of national prestige?" ”

Chang Zhenbang shook his head and said: "The state-owned Changjun Sheji is also blessed!" What are these two furry children now? We'll have to wait until they're sixteen! That's a long time to see who would be better suited to take my place. ”

"Young Master is wise!" Fourth Uncle Chang said: "I just don't know what the young master thinks, have you talked to the two ladies!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "No matter how smart a woman is, once it comes to her own children, she will become blind, and it will be up to them to save others, anyway, these two people are fighting even if they don't have children?" ”

"That's what the young master said!" Fourth Uncle Chang said: "It's late at night, you go to bed early after dealing with the official documents, if you are disgusted with the fight between the two ladies, the young master on Mrs. Hongyun's side can go more!" After speaking, the fourth uncle walked backwards out of Chang Zhenbang's study, closed the door gently, and instructed Ma Ben, who was guarding on both sides of the door, to be vigilant, and then retreated.

After Chang Zhenbang finished reviewing the official documents, he picked out a few secret spy reports sent by Chang Zhenyan from the drawer, and carefully looked at the analysis on these spy reports.

The reaction of all parties to Yuan Shikai's proclamation of emperor is the majority of these spy reports, some people are actively running, some people are celebrating, some people are passively resisting, some people are resisting, and the most interesting reaction among these people is the guy named Cai Yi.

After the world was peaceful, what Daoyin and what governors were all officials, division commanders, and brigade commanders were all professional officers, and they basically belonged to people who were cold when they took tea, only the title was hereditary, and Lao Tzu died on his son, so this set of vassals came out, and it was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and many people who denounced the imperial system became supporters of Emperor Yuan. Many soldiers who supported the restoration of the imperial system turned their faces ruthlessly, such as the silent Duan Qirui, and the most fierce belonged to Cai Yi.

This Cai Ye is a clear-cut nationalist and militarist, after the fierce overthrow of the Manchu Emperor's brutal notice to Yunnan, the implementation of more brutal rule, but he felt that as long as it was Han rule, it should be okay, who knows that the common people do not have such a lofty consciousness, feel that it is more difficult to eat than the previous dynasty, life is worse than the previous dynasty, and the daughter-in-law can not be married, so he simply broke out and broke out the province-wide civil unrest.

Yunnan is also strange, the Han people are extremely scarce, there are still 200,000 Han people in Guangxi Province, but there are only 100,000 in Yunnan, but there are millions of various ethnic minorities, Cai Ye expelled the Tartars and restored China's Chonghan proposition can not be implemented at all, plus in order to support Han officers in these years, a large number of non-Han new officers and soldiers were excluded from the overseer government, turned into the main force of the rebellion, Long Yun, Lu Han was separated from the Yunnan army at this time, with the addition of this group of people, the chaotic people gradually merged, and it was difficult to control, As a last resort, Cai Ye was dropped into Beijing by Yuan Shikai, and what he liked was his remarks as a militarist, but unfortunately Yuan Shikai never dreamed that the great monarch in the center of Cai Yekou who led hundreds of millions of Chinese Han people to become rich and powerful by force was not him, and when he accepted the canonization, he was furious and said: "Cai joined the army, and it took several years of iron and blood to overthrow the Manchurian emperor and restore my Chinese bloodline, who knew that after Yuan Shikai became the president, he did not want to expel China from Manchu and Mongolian barbarians, but it was for the failure of national innovation and he ascended the throne as emperor. But he only named me a small marquis of the founding fathers of the Republic of China, who was really mean and unkind, and he didn't want to make my Han people the world's first-class nation, but what kind of republic of the five ethnic groups was engaged, it was really a remnant of Manchuria, and a person who reversed black and white so much could be the lord of the world! Our Yunnan army should serve the Republic of China and establish a China with all Han people! Immediately gathered his old subordinates in Yunnan, Tang Jiyao was also strongly dissatisfied that he was only a marquis in the eyes of Yuan Shikai, and the two hit it off and announced the document of protecting the country and begging for thieves.

Then at this time, Yunnan was Tang Jiyao in charge, this Tang Jiyao is a talent, whether it is Manchu or Mengzhuang, as long as it is easy to use, he can be an official in his army, and the local civil unrest is also suppressed and used by him, and re-enable Lu Han, Long Yun and other non-Han officers, as for the pure-blooded Han officer corps left after Cai Ye left, he can use it, and if he can't use it to demote and dismiss it, it will be completely wiped out, without the support of the pure-blood army regiment, Cai Yi will be like a tree without roots, and Tang Jiyao were defeated in the struggle for the leadership of the Protector Army, and in the end, if it weren't for those colleagues in the old department who came out to dissuade him, Cai Ye said that he would not have to be sent to Dongying for compulsory medical treatment.

When discussing the organization of the Governor's Office, everyone decided to imitate the Wuchang Military Government during the Xinhai Revolution to elect a Governor and a Commander-in-Chief, at that time Li Yuanhong was the Governor and Huang Xing was the Commander-in-Chief. The Yunnan Protectorate Military Government Cai Yi and Tang Jiyao pushed each other, and finally due to Cai Yi's insistence, Tang Jiyao was finally elected as the governor.

Tang Jiyao was the governor of the Yunnan Military Government, and formed three armies of the Protector Army, which were sent from Sichuan, Xiangxi and Guangxi to fight against Yuan. Cai was appointed commander-in-chief of the First Army, and personally commanded four brigades of about 8,000 men composed of pure-blood officer corps to fight in Sichuan.

After Chang Zhenbang read this spy report, he laughed and said: "What is the protection of the country, what is the powerful monarch, it is just a struggle for power and profit, Yuan Shikai is the emperor, the innovative warriors in the south rebel, if Sun Monkey becomes the emperor, not only Beiyang is not convinced, but many factions in the north are also not convinced, it is really Sun Monkey who does not die, and the war is not stopped!" The emperor is also stingy, I am not a descendant of Beiyang, and the other brigade commanders are all earls, but I can only add the title of earl, and loyal people like me don't count these false names, but Cai Ye is a fanatic with a desire for profit, and you may not be able to appease him if you give him a duke, not to mention that he is only a marquis! ”

After laughing, Chang Zhenbang opened the second spy report, this is a spy report about Jiangxi, after Li Chun was crowned a first-class marquis, he was happy to learn that Feng Guozhang, Duan Zhigui and others were canonized as first-class dukes, an old face immediately turned green, and after learning that Tang Jiyao sent Cai Yi to attack Sichuan, he immediately sent a telegram to crusade against Tang Jiyao, and asked Yuan Boss for orders to mobilize his sixth division to go to the crusade, hoping to be rewarded for meritorious service and win the great cause of eternity! Although Beijing Zhongnanhai did not say anything about his request, it allocated 3 million rounds of ammunition to be transported from Beijing to Nanchang via Jiujiang, and at the same time, Li Chun stepped up the training of the Sixth Division and gathered the army to Nancheng, making a posture that the holy decree was issued in the morning and could go out of the province to fight in the evening.

Chang Zhenbang reached out and picked up a pen and gently circled the words Jiujiang, three million bullets and other words, and then carefully put them aside.

The third spy report is about the situation of those old-school scholars and new-school intellectuals, when they learned the news that Yuan Shikai ascended the throne as emperor, although most of the old-school scholars hoped that the emperor would come out to govern the world, but the emperor in their hearts was the child in the Forbidden City who enjoyed retirement treatment early, and those intellectuals who returned from overseas to accept the Western trend of thought were very dissatisfied, even if it was the emperor, Yuan Shikai should not be the emperor, and the reformists wanted Sun Monkey to be the emperor, The constitutionalists asked the former Emperor Xun to re-register, in short, the emperor must have it, but it can't be Yuan Shikai!

The fourth spy report is that the common people have support and opposition to the matter of being called emperor, but most of them don't matter, anyway, the emperor, the president, these things are out of reach in their opinion, they just hope to earn more money a year, build a big house, go to a daughter-in-law who is not too ugly, drink a little wine when you are free, marry a beautiful little daughter-in-law when you have money and that's it, as for who is the emperor, it doesn't matter if there is an emperor or not, It's just that the old people still hope that an emperor will come out and bring this world back to the past.

After Chang Zhenbang read it, he sighed softly and said: "This country needs a holy emperor in its heart, but unfortunately the emperor who can only come out now can only be half of the emperor, and it seems that it will take a long time to produce a great emperor who unifies the north and south, so ......" As he said that, he picked up the spy report about Li Chun just now, stared at the words of three million rounds circled by him on it, and continued: "Since these bullets are from Jiujiang, then stay and return to me!" I believe this is the one thing that everyone in the world wants me to do! ”
