Li Yuanhong woke up from the dream, opened his eyes and saw that it was not a dream, the gauzy curtains were swaying in the wind, and the night rain from the window soon drenched and soaked the curtains, and the floor under the window soon became wet. Li Yuanhong fumbled and pressed the electric bell installed on the bedside table, and a few seconds later, a waiter walked into the bedroom, turned on the chandelier, and then came to Li Yuanhong's bed.

"Mr. President."

The attendant was a little flustered, not noticing the wind-blown window at first, but soon he noticed the flickering curtains and the icy raindrops drifting in.

So, without waiting for Li Yuanhong's instructions, the attendant had already walked over and reached out to close the window, but before he could close the curtains, a bright light suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, followed by a "boom" of thunder.

"Is it thunder?"

Li Yuanhong's inquiry came from behind the attendant, and the attendant turned around and nodded.

"Yes, Mr. President, it's thundering outside."

"It's thundering this season, and the weather is a little weird."

Li Yuanhong sat up from the bed. With the help of the attendants, he put on his shoes, went to the window, looked out, saw several more lightning bolts, and heard thunder.

"Mr. President, do you still need sleep medication?"

The attendant put on a tweed coat for Li Yuanhong, and then asked.

"What time is it?" Li Yuanhong asked.

"Two o'clock in the morning." The attendant replied.

"Then I won't sleep. Bring me some black tea. By the way, take those documents sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last night to the study. Li Yuanhong said.

"Yes, Mr. President."

The attendant nodded, immediately exited the bedroom, and called several other male and female attendants to stay inside and outside the bedroom, waiting for Li Yuanhong's orders.

The black tea was quickly delivered to Li Yuanhong, but he did not immediately rush to the study to deal with the official documents, but paced back and forth in the bedroom with this cup of hot black tea, thinking about the current situation in the country.

"What an eventful time."

This is probably Li Yuanhong's truest view on the current situation in the country, as the president of the Republic of China. We have far more information than ordinary citizens. On the surface, the new round of economic recession seems to be just a repeat of last year's economic decline, but Li Yuanhong is very clear that this round of economic recession is far more violent than reported in the newspapers, and in the past 20 years or so, some problems accumulated by the rapid development of the country's economy have erupted in a concentrated manner, although in the economic crisis, both the rich and the poor have encountered the crisis, but in comparison, the life of the poor is more difficult. Under these circumstances, the cry of "revolution" is not just a small concern of some journalists, but a fact, and there are only two ways before the government now, either to wait for the revolution to be launched at the bottom of society. Either the government will step in and preside over a top-down reform.

After all, it is easier to destroy than to build, and the essence of reform is to seek a balance between two opposing social groups, but this balance point is not easy to grasp, and a society that can achieve reform must have a premise, that is, a strong central government.

Although there is a little hostility towards Zhao Bei, Li Yuanhong also has to admit that Zhao Bei's theory of "social revolution" has some truth, and that human society is originally seeking the road of progress in its own revolution, which is not subject to anyone's will, and any person and force that dares to stop the progress of human society will be ruthlessly destroyed and crushed by this social force. Only by meeting the needs of social progress can the country and society be stable.

But what does this change? Li Yuanhong's term of office will come next year, and in half a year at most, he Li Yuanhong will be a cloth cloth, although he can enjoy the treatment of the previous president and enjoy some special political and economic care, but after all, he is no longer the president, under such circumstances, how can he expect President Li Yuanhong to carry out social reform or social revolution?

Therefore, now Li Yuanhong's heart has also calmed down, he has decided not to get involved in this social reform or social hasty affairs, as long as he can complete this presidential term, he will already be satisfied, as long as there are no violent revolutionary incidents during his term of office, he is a basically qualified president, although now some reporters have called him a "crisis president".

"The general trend of history is elusive, I can't see clearly, I can't figure it out, maybe this is the providence in the dark. In the face of Providence, human power is insignificant. ”

Li Yuanhong sighed, took the cup of black tea, wore pajamas, and was about to rush to the study to work, but before he could walk into the study, a secretary on duty hurriedly walked up to him, looking quite strange, or overly nervous.

"Mr. President. Just now I received a call from the police station, and a national defense force unit of unknown origin suddenly appeared on Zhengyangmen Avenue, fully armed. Heading north, we are now on Chang'an Avenue, and the police stations along the way have been taken over. The secretary whispered.

"What do they want to do?" Li Yuanhong was a little stunned for a while.

The secretary reminded: "Maybe you should ask the General Staff." ”

Li Yuanhong hurriedly stuffed the teacup to the secretary, walked to the telephone, picked up the short-line, and shook the switchboard.

"I'm President Li Yuanhong, give me the General Staff."

"Mr. President, the telephone line of the General Staff is not working, and we have sent someone to overhaul it, but the maintenance personnel have been detained by the soldiers."

"What? Well, where are those people in the General Staff? And what part of the army is it that detains the staff of the telephone office? ”

"We don't know, maybe Mr. President can ask the Ministry of Defense."

"Pick up the Ministry of Defense!"

Soon, the voice of the officer on duty at the Ministry of National Defense came from Li Yuanhong's microphone.

"Mr. President, we don't know what's going on. However, we immediately sent troops to the presidential palace to prevent an emergency. ”

"The troops must be transferred as soon as possible!"

Li Yuanhong angrily pressed down the microphone and walked around in front of the telephone with his hands behind his back, and at this time, more people gathered outside Mr. President's bedroom, all standing in the corridor, waiting for news, including many of Mr. President's staff.

"Don't even stand here! Go about your own business! Also, call me for Rao Hanxiang. ”

Li Yuanhong took most of the personnel, leaving only a few secretaries and staff, and sent a staff member to find Rao Hanxiang, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find it, and someone suggested that Li Yuanhong leave the presidential palace immediately, but after Li Yuanhong thought about it, he still decided to stay in the presidential palace, after all, he is the president, and he can't run away at this time.

"The vice president is in Biri?"

Li Yuanhong suddenly became blazing; Vice President, former Vice President Zhang Sai died of illness! Later, the successor vice president was decided, because all parties were highly consistent, so Tan Yanyu was effortlessly appointed as vice president by Li Yuanhong, and this appointment was also approved by the Congress. Preside over the central government.

So the attendants hurriedly went to find the vice president, but they couldn't find it, and finally figured out the reason, it turned out that just last night, the vice president was invited to attend a business meeting of the British Embassy, and he had not returned until now, and the vice president's wife also followed.

At this time, Li Yuanhong was even more anxious, so he immediately sent someone to the British Embassy to find Vice President Fu Yanmu. His wishful thinking was that once the situation was critical. He immediately resigned and handed over the presidential power to Tan Yanzha in order to get out of the way.

Just when the presidential palace was in chaos, several gunshots suddenly rang out in the night. And it's close. As a result, there was a panic in the presidential palace.

Soon, the Presidential Palace Guard sent someone to report that a Wehrmacht unit had suddenly surrounded the Presidential Palace. In the name of defending the presidential palace, all internal and external communications were cut off, and from the beginning of those few gunshots, Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China, was actually a caged bird.

"How can this be true? Go and ask whose troops dared to surround the presidential palace. You tell him it's an armed rebellion! ”

Li Yuanhong was furious, and in a fit of rage, he picked up the phone and wanted to talk to the Ministry of National Defense, but there was a dead silence in the microphone, obviously, the telephone line had been cut from outside the presidential palace, and now. Even the phone couldn't get through.

"What to do? What to do? ”

Li Yuanhong had nothing to do. Later, it was the staff who reminded him that there was still a radio transceiver in the presidential palace and that he could try to get in touch with the outside world.

Before the antenna of the radio station was set up, the Presidential Palace Guards had sent someone to report that the regular unit of the National Defense Force that surrounded the Presidential Palace belonged to the Infantry Regiment of the National Defense Force, and that it was Li Yuanhong who was transferred from Anhui to the capital some time ago to carry out the guard mission, and at that time, the idea of transferring troops into Beijing was the same as that of Chief of Staff Rao Hanxiang, and the number of the unit was also chosen by Rao Hanxiang.

In fact, the provisional infantry regiment was just a temporary patchwork of mixed units. Although the officers and men are all from Anhui, they are stationed in various places in peacetime. There was even a unit to guard the railway bridge, and the commander of this infantry regiment was called Jiang Fuzhi, who was an unknown person. In the past, he was only a battalion commander, and after leading his troops to Beijing, he was promoted to regiment commander by Li Yuanhong, and now, this person is the one who commanded the troops to surround the presidential palace.

"Ungrateful people!"

This is Li Yuanhong's current evaluation of Jiang Fuzhi, because his proposal to have a direct dialogue with the head of the presidential palace was unceremoniously rejected by the other party, and now Li Yuanhong is only annoyed, although there are several hundred people in the presidential palace guards, but they lack heavy weapons, and according to the current observations, the temporary infantry regiment surrounding the presidential palace has set up field artillery in front of the presidential palace. Some of the muzzles of the guns were facing outwards and some were facing inward, which clearly meant that people were neither allowed to enter nor leave the presidential palace.

No matter how angry Li Yuanhong is, he can't reverse the current situation, which clearly shows that it is a mutiny. But who launched this mutiny, now Li Yuanhong has no clue, he once suspected that Zhao Bei planned it. This sudden mutiny. But when he understood the origin of the troops besieging the presidential palace, he was a little unsure of his idea.

The other side was reluctant to talk, and Li Yuanhong could not know who they were under command of, and now the only hope was pinned on the radio transceiver, but the operators were busy for a long time, and neither the General Staff nor the Ministry of National Defense could contact them. Even the Gyeonggi Garrison Command was unable to establish contact, further adding to the panic in the presidential palace.

Just when Li Yuanhong was at a loss, a little secretary suddenly walked into the room, turned on the tube radio, and the announcer's voice came from it.

"According to the presidential order, a curfew will be imposed in the capital from now on, and all those who stay outside will be detained by the military until dawn. Regardless of the situation in the urban area, it is important for citizens to stay at home and not go out. Again, citizens must stay at home and do not go out.

This text message was played repeatedly, and the voice was cold and without any emotion, which made Li Yuanhong panic even more.

"This is a false command! It's a coup d'état! This is a rebellion! Li Yuanhong shouted.

Just when Li Yuanhong was insulting the rebel troops, Rao Hanxiang, the long-awaited chief of staff, finally rushed to the presidential palace, which made Li Yuanhong very surprised, because the troops surrounding the presidential palace kept saying that no one was allowed to enter or leave the presidential palace.

"Monk, how did you get in? The rebels let you in?. Li Yuanhong asked.

Rao Hanxiang did not answer Li Yuanhong's question directly, but said: "Please be sure to stay in the presidential palace, there is a battle on the Xishan side, Zhao Zhenhua tried to launch a mutiny and overthrow the current government, and the fighting is still ongoing, but the government army has suppressed the rebel firepower, and I believe that the rebels can be solved after dawn." ”

"Zhao Zhenhua launched a mutiny? He staged a mutiny in the West Hills? With his prestige and influence, if he really wanted to start a mutiny, why not just in the capital? I just want to pull the flag and rebel on the West Mountain. That's weird, isn't it? ”

Li Yuanhong was stunned for a moment, but then remembered a very important question, so he asked Rao Hanxiang rhetorically.

"What Xiao Zhao Zhenhua thinks, we really can't guess it now, but the current situation is urgent, and I hope that the president will transfer troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and ask the president to send a telegram to the Tianjin garrison headquarters immediately, asking them to immediately dispatch marines to urgently reinforce the capital, and be sure to arrive before dawn. At the same time, the president was asked to record a tape before dawn to condemn the armed rebellion and call on the people to fight the rebels once the tape was finished. I will immediately send it to the radio broadcast. ”

Rao Hanxiang did not follow Li Yuanhong's train of thought, but changed his words and mentioned another issue.

At this time, Li Yuanhong should understand even if he is confused.

"You" is you, isn't it? This presidential palace was surrounded by your troops. Right? ”

Li Yuanhong's two "right" startled the staff and secretaries standing beside him, and everyone moved their eyes to Rao Hanxiang's face. But I saw that the expression on that face was very strange, I could see both excitement and nervousness, but I couldn't see even a little bit of horror and guilt.

Perhaps, he is not working for President Li Da now, but who is he working for? I'm afraid it's not that Commander-in-Chief Zhao either. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please log in.) There are more chapters, and it is supported
