Chapter 694: The Emperor's Dream (I)

Long live the president, and the old rules are still in the city, and it is strictly forbidden for beggars to come out to beg. But with the inflow of more and more refugees, the leaders of the group can only restrain the beggars under their control, and they are powerless to deal with this kind of unorganized refugees.www.biquge.info Sending people to beat black sticks and the like is also invincible, not to mention, not all the current homeless people can be beaten, who knows what their future situation will be? Even if Shangfeng had an order to use force, when it came time to implement it, it would not be able to carry it out.

Lei Zhendong and his military and police inspection department found that it was difficult to achieve the goal by violent means, so they decided decisively to learn from Dayu's experience and turn blockage into sparseness. Each person was given a few dimes a day, enough to buy a few nests, so that these refugees could be transformed into "citizens' petition groups". Waving small flags, shouting "Support the constitution, overthrow the republic." Smash the dog head that supports the Commonwealth. "In the eldest prince's place, each of these people spends one yuan a day, which not only successfully solves the refugee problem, but also successfully feeds the purse, so why not?

As a result, the ranks of "constitutional supporters" who were covered with mud, exposed to the wind, and whose clothes gradually could not cover their bodies, grew larger and larger, and walked through the streets and alleys, shouting and shouting, making people feel as if the world was already the world of the Constitutionalist. Don't you see, even the poorest part of the country has begun to support the constitution, can you still fight against them? To be united is to obey the will of the people, and who dares to say that this is not the will of the people?

The petition group covered all the provinces of the Communist Party, as if everyone in the world thought about the imperial system. Although in terms of accent, it feels that the petition groups in each province are almost the same as each other, but considering the greatness of the imperial system, it is not surprising that the car has the same track and the same book, and the accent is the same. At least the people are not interested in bothering these people, and these refugees are neither parliamentarians nor deputy ministers. If you trouble them, you will not get any money, and you may be beaten, so you should avoid them.

Both the police and the reporters chose to ignore the hunger petition group, and the refugees gradually became emboldened. With the fierce competition, the nest head is becoming more and more difficult to take, and the movement they shout can only get louder and louder, until they are hoarse. Even the foreigners in Beijing have become very interested, and many people choose to take pictures and observe these petition groups, looking forward to what more interesting performances will be performed next.

When Zhao Guanhou got off the train, in front of him was this grand scene of a group of poor dances. There seemed to be friction in the ranks, and after a while, the slogan turned into a scolding, and then it turned into a fight. Lei Zhendong, who was in charge of leading the way, smiled embarrassedly, "Dashuai, I'm really sorry, I don't know what they smoked crazy, why did they do it." I'll send someone to ask. ”

The inquiring soldiers quickly ran back, "It's an extra wave of people in the team, not from Hebei, from Henan." The Hebei refugees who pride themselves on being the supreme villagers shout that they have to pay six cents a day and four cents a day quit. Come here to make trouble, don't you fight between the two? ”

Has the title of the Great President been changed to Supreme? Zhao Guanhou smiled slightly, it seems that in the capital, the wind has never stopped, big and small, all have changed, and from the title, it has begun to change imperceptibly.

"These grandchildren are really uncomfortable." Lei Zhendong wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Go, tell them, shout to me well, fight again, and don't give a penny today." As for how much to give after shouting...... I asked the uncle for instructions and then said, first vacate the road for me, this is blocking the convoy, like words? ”

Zhao Guanhou wondered: "I said Lao Lei, you don't care?" Although you are not Jiang Bodhisattva, you are also the Tuchenghuang of the capital, when you are beaten in a group under your nose, you want to release Shandong, and you will be arrested. ”

"Dashuai, you're right, but isn't that the scorer? Who is this? The petition group, that is, the citizen representatives, represents the will of the people, and the will of the people can also be grasped? The Supreme taught us that the republic is a country where the people live, and we must respect the will of the people, and the people voluntarily choose to fight, so how can we interfere. Again...... After arresting the petition group, who still petitions. Looking at longevity, if I don't heat up the scene, I, a soil city god, will have to become a mud ghost. Dashuai, you always keep your eyes open and close, don't you see it. ”

The convoy went back and forth, and it didn't go far, but a Puma team stabbed at it, and the salary of four cents a day plus a stick and a nest was not enough to give people the courage to resist the iron horse. Without the shouts of the patrolman, the brawling crowd automatically dispersed and let the horses pass. The cavalry led by him pulled the reins and gave a military salute to Lei Zhendong

"General, hang up the phone at Hufang Bridge, and tell you to bring your brother over to play the pressure. If you don't go, I'm afraid that Sun Yu will be beaten. I heard that over there, the teapot has begun to smash the glass. ”

"What do you mean by that? Flying teapots and smashing glass, this is a meeting, this is smashing the garden. These petitioners are going crazy! Isn't it just about money, if you have something to say, as for doing it? ”

"Sun Yu is always Sun Yujun." Zhao Guanhou asked: "He is not the nephew of Shouzhou Xiangguo, when he made trouble with Ge Ming, he was the governor of Anhui for a few days?" Who is he talking to, why do you still have to do it? ”

"It's not the Preparatory Security Club that is making trouble. Sun Yu was a deputy in there, and in order to celebrate the birthday of the Supreme, everyone discussed, and before longevity, they first offered the persuasion table. You are a person who understands, and after persuading the table to be presented, this preparation will be useless. The petition group can serve as a faΓ§ade, and the petitioning representatives should go back to their respective homes. Liang Caishen sent down 300,000 yuan, saying that it was a lump sum, and he would give more and less, and it would be up to Sun Yulao to arrange it himself. Sun Yu was too dark, and only one representative gave a hundred ocean travel fees. This is a representative of the people! Public opinion, popular heart, can he sell it so cheaply for a hundred oceans? Why can't it be a hundred and fifteen? Even the petition group has to pay four cents a day, this representative of the people's will, he has put on a watch, how can he not be more than these poor ghosts. I could have said it a long time ago, but he just didn't listen, this is a response, right? I have to save him, so I will save the face of Shouzhou Xiangguo, and I can't see him suffer. I'm sorry, Dashuai will go to the hall by himself, I'll go to Hufang Bridge to have a look. ”

Zhao Guanhou did not go to the hall, but went straight to the Six Nations Hotel. Zhu Erdian and Condy were already waiting there, and there were labor issues to negotiate between them, but they saved the trouble of going back and forth. Originally, Zhao Guanhou pinned his hopes on the persuasion of the two countries and used diplomatic pressure to make Yuan Weiting give up the idea of becoming emperor, but with Yuan Zhengfu's diplomatic skills, it failed.

Although Yuan Zhengfu did not publicly stand up and join the statements of any of the warring countries. However, Zhao Guanhou made a surprise attack on Qingdao, and not only was he not punished by the War Department afterwards, but was promoted to field marshal, which also indirectly reflected the attitude of the Gonghe. For Albiang, this attitude is enough.

In addition, Liang Shiyi negotiated a deal with Albiang to receive arms from Xiangdao to assist Albiang in its defense. Judging from the national strength and the actual environment, the Albiang troops stationed on Xiangdao do not face much threat. What's more, no matter how tight Albian's supplies are, it will not need to be co-ordinated. At the end of the day, it's a matter of voting.

Although the national strength of the republic is weak, its huge manpower and abundant resources have a huge interference effect on the development of the war situation. If the Communists chose to join the Prussian side, Albion's interests in the East would inevitably be damaged, and even the rights and interests of the colonies and concessions could not be guaranteed. On the premise that he did not dare to take a public stand, Yuan Zhengfu's approach was tantamount to an indirect statement that he was willing to join Albiang's banner, at least Albiang's interests in China would not be damaged. In return, Albion was in no position to interfere with Yuan Weiting, and although they did not necessarily support the restoration, they could not be expected to stand up against it.

The matter of claiming the emperor cannot be discussed, and what can be talked about is only the issue of Shandong's participation in the war. In addition to forming a division to help the Albians fight Tianzhu, Shandong also had to send a large number of laborers to the Taixi Gang to build fortifications or to transport the master. These people are not simply sent to the past to settle the world, and the treatment, rights, welfare, and even the compensation for the dead and wounded need to be negotiated and a mutually acceptable treaty can be made.

The negotiation between the two is not difficult, or in other words, Zhao Guanhou, who has been negotiating all the way from the former Jin Dynasty, feels that the negotiation is getting easier and easier, and it is much easier than bargaining with the consuls of the two countries on the issue of electric line lights in the previous Jin Shi.

Shigege is serving filial piety and can't worship his birthday, as for Su Hanzhi, he became the chairman of the Shandong Charity Fund for Disabled Soldiers. Not only did he have money to do, but he also had to run for the charity fund, so he only had a sick resignation. This time, Jensen was the only one who went with him, and when he closed the door, Jensen was just about to check whether the room prepared for him by the Six Nations Hotel was sturdy enough, when the telephone suddenly rang. She frowned playfully: "Honey, no matter who made this call, I decided not to lend him money." ”

There were two guests who came to visit, led by the second son Yuan Hanyun, and his companion was a strange guest wearing a suit and leather shoes and a hat on his head. When the curtain was taken off, it was the face of the eldest lady Shen Jinying that was revealed.

"Sister Ying? Why did you come here on your own? I also said that I was going to pay homage to my birthday, how could there be any reason to let the birthday star move by himself. Sit down, my dear, and go get coffee for everyone. ”

Seeing Jensen leaving, Shen Jinying waved at Yuan Hanyun and motioned for his son to go out first, in the room, there were only two of them left, Zhao Guanhou was just about to speak, and Shen Jinying had already spoken first

"Brother, sister came over today, it is said that it should not be. If this spreads to the palace, it will be a storm. But if I can't say it, I can't live in my own heart, and there are some things, I have to ask it clearly in person, so that I can be sure in my heart. ”

"Well, if there is anything you want to ask, just ask, sister, I don't lie. In fact, there is no turmoil, and we haven't known each other for a day or two, can't my brother-in-law still believe my sister or me? ”

"It's hard to say, I used to trust you, but now, I can't say it anymore. Let me ask you first, have you done the matter of dissolving the provincial council? Your brother-in-law said that you should respect Confucianism as the state religion, why did you take the soldiers and copy all the Three Holy Mansions, and get the people to go to Beijing to complain? Is this your way of honoring your brother-in-law? ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled, "Sister, I've been making trouble for a long time, I really didn't do anything about this, I just cleaned up the Three Holy Mansions one by one." Send the soldiers there and disarm their self-defense forces, the Holy Protectors. Next, they mobilized their tenants to file a complaint. Shandong has been practicing the new law for several years, but on the side of the Three Holy Mansions, headed by the Yansheng Mansion, they still go their own way and do their own thing. Even new-style schools are not allowed to be built, and they are still engaged in old things. After the brother-in-law enshrined Confucianism as the state religion, these people made even more trouble, and petitioned Jinan to fully restore the old system. Boycott women's schools, dismiss female soldiers, and female public officials. As soon as I saw it, I couldn't do it without giving them something powerful, so I knocked it out. divided the land, and then took the soldiers to do some exercises, ate a few one-food banquets at their house, and did not kill anyone, nor set fires, nor robbed the eldest girl, as for being so wronged. ”

"It's not that you're wronged or not, it's an order how you treat your brother-in-law!"

Seeing that Shen Jinying had lost his face, Zhao Guanhou had no choice but to smile, "Sister, listen to me, this place in Shandong is actually not peaceful." Fighting Orientals, is that easy to fight? It all relied on the efforts of the villagers and elders to get lucky to get a draw. The gentry contributed a lot, and you said that I dissolved the provincial council, can these rich people agree? If they don't agree, will they have to be tough, and if I do, if they all vote for the Geming Party, what should they do? Emperor Sun's people have always been active in Shandong, and these gentry support me, but they can't afford to make trouble. Once the people in the provincial council rise up to make trouble, and the Ge Ming Party is in turmoil in Shandong, then the brother-in-law's life will not be easy. ”

Shen Jinying looked at his smiling face, and couldn't let out his anger, so he had to hate and say, "I can't talk about you anyway." Then let me ask you, why don't you see you in Shandong in the petition groups in various provinces? Also, the telegrams sent by the provinces, reporting auspiciousness, allegiance, and the provincial referendum meetings, why didn't Shandong do it. It's as if Shandong is not a confederation province now! You made a pact with the people of Albion, and why didn't you even say a word to me? Can't you even trust me? ”

"Sister, you have wronged me to death. How can I not trust you, but this military secret, since ancient times, has been the less known the safer. As soon as I announce it in advance, you will definitely tell your brother-in-law, and your brother-in-law will definitely formulate a strategy based on this. Even if everyone believed it, it would inevitably leak out during the transmission of the news, and when the Oriental people got the letter, things would be in trouble. This time I saw my brother-in-law, I took the blame, and my brother-in-law punished me no matter how he punished. ”

"Don't talk about that time, let's talk about this time first, when will you send this petition group?"

Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "Sister, we in Shandong are the busiest right now to restore people's livelihood, to put it bluntly, to make money." We really can't do it, and we don't have the heart to do it. Not only should we not do it, but neither should my brother-in-law. Sister, in front of your brother-in-law, your words have weight, you should persuade him. Now is a good time, and even if Congress is resolved, it is not irretrievable. Blow these parliamentarians away and replace them with parliamentarians, and I support them with both hands. But then, we have to get down to business, and we can't think about unrealistic things. My brother-in-law wants to be president, and I support it. If I want to be president for life, I support it. Even if he wants to let the Yuan family become president after a hundred years, I still support it. But the slogan shouted by the petition group, constitutionalism? There must be a monarch in the constitution, and in today's China, can there still be an emperor? Is it possible to invite the one from the Forbidden City out and then sit on the country? ”

Shen Jinying's silver-white teeth, biting her lower lip, stared at Zhao Guanhou with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Brother, if you don't send the 37th Division into Sichuan, and you don't let the fleet return to the navy, you just don't plan to support your brother-in-law to become emperor?" In fact, what's so bad about being called an emperor? Our country has had an emperor for thousands of years, why can't we have it now? Just beg you, sister, you will promise me this one thing, can it be done? You can not send soldiers, and you can not hand over the fleet, but you have to help your brother-in-law become emperor, even if your sister begs you. ”

Shen Jinying was wearing men's clothes, his movements were very neat, Huo Ran got up, and before Zhao Guanhou could speak, he was already kneeling in front of him. (To be continued.) )
