Chapter 14: Military Coup (Ask for Recommendations and Collections)

Due to the delay in the negotiations between the League and Yuan Shikai, the League invited representatives of the southern provinces to elect a provisional president in Nanjing, and the Huaxia Military Government of Sichuan Province refused to send representatives to participate in the election.

On November 28, Sun Wen was elected interim president. On December 1, in Nanjing, it was proclaimed that the Republic of China. The national government was established, and Sun Wen officially took office. On the day Sun Wen was inaugurated as provisional president, he called Yuan Shikai to explain the reason, saying that the southeastern provinces had long lacked unified organs and that it was difficult to act, and that the presidency was only held temporarily, and that he would continue to negotiate with him, and if Yuan Shikai could overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, he would give him the presidency.

"Kiki, what do you think of the current situation?"

"Master, do you want to be president or emperor?"

"If you can be the emperor, of course, it is better than being the president, even if you can only be the president, then you must first be a dictatorial president, and now China's national conditions are not suitable for any democratic choice, first do a good job in the people's livelihood, and build the country strong is the top priority."

"If the master is quite an emperor, I have a countermeasure."

Qiqi put her mouth to Hu Zining's ear and said something, Hu Zining listened, and smiled wickedly.

Without Hu Zining, it wouldn't be long before Yuan Shikai reached an agreement with the revolutionary party and forced the Qing government to abdicate. But now there is Hu Zining, he called Yuan Shikai many times, saying that the republic is not suitable for China's national conditions, and he is resolutely opposed, China must implement a constitutional monarchy, if Yuan Shikai can first eliminate the revolutionary party, and then force the Qing court to settle in him, the Huaxia army in Sichuan will support Yuan Shikai as emperor.

Yuan Shikai is good at power schemes, how can he not know that the Huaxia Army hopes that the Beiyang Army will fight and reap the benefits of the fishermen. But he seems to be very confident, he knows that the Southern Revolutionary Party is extremely short of weapons, ammunition, and military spending, although Sun Wen is nominally the president, but he can't control the warlords in the provinces at all, and it is easy for his Beiyang Army to clean up these revolutionary parties, and when the time comes, all the revolutionary parties in the south will be cleaned up by him, and Hu Zining's Huaxia Army is no matter how elite it is, how can it be able to defeat Yuan Shikai, who controls the whole country?

On December 20, Yuan Shikai came down to the Beiyang Army to launch an all-out attack on the revolutionary party in the south.

On January 4, 1911, the Beiyang Army led by Duan Qirui conquered Nanjing, and important members such as Sun Wen and Huang Xing had fled ahead of schedule. On January 5, the army led by Feng Guozhang captured Changsha. On January 8, the Beiyang Army conquered Shanghai, and on January 17, Guangzhou was conquered by the Beiyang Army. By 20 January, most of the southern provinces had been captured by the Beiyang Army.

On January 29, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, and this year's Sichuan was the first time in more than 200 years that it had been freed from the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty; Hu Zining implemented a series of administrations in Sichuan; all peasants were allocated land; state-run hospitals were opened in various cities and counties; many people's illnesses could be cured; the army was strictly disciplined; there were almost no violations against the people; and officials were much cleaner than before.

In just a few months, Hu Zining and Huaxia Jun have won the support of most of the people, because in Sichuan Province, most of the people's homes are decorated with lights and beaming with joy.

The 8,000 newly recruited soldiers of the Huaxia Army officially became soldiers after three basic trainings, and they were issued with weapons and equipment, which were the most advanced weapons that Hu Zining had taken from the system and had developed in this era. Even if these weapons can't be compared with the Huaxia Army directly summoned, they are already the most sophisticated equipment in the world, except for some Huaxia Army. After another three or four months of training, these servicemen will be able to form initial combat effectiveness.

The last time Hu Zining called up army soldiers was on November 1, when he summoned 4,416 people, so that a total of 15,852 people were called. During this time, a group of junior and intermediate talents were summoned and placed in suitable positions.

On February 1, the third day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Zining took Qiqi and fifteen other guards and set off for Beijing.

Along the way, I hurried to the road, and finally arrived in Beijing on February 15, and stayed at the inn, because Hu Zining and Zhang Qiqi were disguised, no one knew their true identities.

On February 16, in Zhongnanhai, Beijing, Yuan Shikai's office, Yuan Shikai and his staff were discussing the major matter of forcing the palace.

At this time, the guards outside the door spread the word that Hu Zining, the Sichuan Huaxia Army, asked to see him. Yuan Shikai and the staff present were stunned, why did this Hu Zining suddenly arrive in Beijing?

Xu Shichang said: "My lord, why did this Hu Zining suddenly come to Beijing? ”

Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "Now that I have a lot of power, I can't afford to make any waves with his beard, it would be better if he came to Beijing, and after I ascended the throne, if he didn't hand over the military power of the Sichuan army, he wouldn't want to leave." ”

Hu Zining met Yuan Shikai, now Yuan Shikai is in his early fifties, and Hu Zining can feel his deep city government in his heart.

"Hu Zining has seen the Prime Minister."

"Commander Hu, it's great that you can come to Beijing."

"Zining sincerely supports the Lord as the emperor, and I have come to Beijing to see if there is a place where I can serve the Lord, and I hope that the Lord can be on the dragon chair in the Forbidden City as soon as possible, and I will call the whole country tomorrow to announce that the Sichuan Huaxia Military Government supports Lord Yuan."

Yuan Shikai laughed and said, "Well, yes, Zining is indeed loyal, so what do you think should be done?" ”

Hu Zining said: "My lord, you are now in power, and it is easy to force the Qing court to take the Zen position with you. ”

On February 18, Hu Zining, Duan Qirui and all other generals of the Beiyang Army jointly signed an electric performance, saying that the Great Qing Qi had been exhausted, and asked Zen to be located in Yuan Shikai, and Hu Zining even issued an aggressive threat, if it was not for Zen, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would assassinate the emperor and the queen mother.

On February 20, Hu Zining just met Yuan Shikai and said that he wanted to go to the thatched house, this excuse was the most suitable, and there was generally no one to follow him when he went to the thatched house. He had just come to a corner and immediately summoned dozens of people, all of whom were dressed in civilian clothes and holding weapons from the Beiyang Army. After these people were summoned, Hu Zining immediately gave them an order.

"Bang Bang", a series of gunshots were remembered inside, and Hu Zining "escaped" from it and shouted: "There are assassins, there are assassins." ”

Yuan Shikai's guards heard the gunshots inside, and immediately rushed inside, but no matter how fast they reacted, they couldn't save Yuan Shikai, and when these guards rushed in, all the people inside had been killed. Immediately afterwards, the guards and the "assassins" fought fiercely, and after paying the price of more than 200 people, they finally killed all these "assassins".

After Hu Zining came out of Zhongnanhai, he immediately went to a pre-prepared room, and summoned army soldiers one after another, a small room, more than 4,000 soldiers walked out one after another, and killed the Forbidden City. Because the gate of the Forbidden City was closed, Hu Zining didn't want to blow up the gate with explosives, so he summoned soldiers again, let them appear in the harem of the Forbidden City, and immediately sent a telegram, ordering them to capture the emperor and the empress dowager alive, and another group of people to open the palace gate to welcome the people outside.

A barrage of gunfire from the Forbidden City could soon be heard outside, and it didn't take long for the gates to be opened. Hu Zining, heavily guarded by thousands of officers and soldiers, strode towards the Forbidden City.

Hu Zining also spent money to buy tickets to visit the Forbidden City in his previous life, and now it is more than a hundred years ago, and it is not as dilapidated as it is in modern times.

"Hu Zining, commander-in-chief of the Huaxia Army, meet the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

Although it was a greeting, Hu Zining only bowed his hand and did not kneel.

The Empress Dowager Longyu was first forced into the palace by Yuan Shikai, and today someone actually killed him directly into the palace and kidnapped him and the emperor, extremely panicked, where did he dare to put the queen mother on the shelf.

"What do you want to kidnap the mourning family and the emperor?"

"Queen Mother, two hours ago, Lord Yuan Shikai was assassinated by the assassins you sent. I was about to ask the Queen Mother, don't you want the Zen position for Lord Yuan? Why do you want to send someone to assassinate Lord Yuan, do you think that by killing Lord Yuan, you can save the country of the Qing Dynasty! ”

When Longyu heard this, it was like five thunderbolts, and he trembled: "Don't ..... you guys, don't wronged the mourning family, the emperor and I are preparing to Zen Lord Yuan, how dare you send someone to assassinate him." ”
