On August 2, 1911, the Manchu government appointed Zhao Erfeng as the governor of Sichuan.

For the entire Manchu Empire, this appointment undoubtedly crushed the Manchu Empire's eventual hope of survival. In the month he took office, Zhao Erfeng launched a forcible crackdown on the Baolu movement, and killings filled the entire Sichuan region. In the same month, other governors and regions also launched different protests and repressions, and the fall of the Manchu Empire was imminent, and even the European countries couldn't help but get busy, which was not the result they wanted to see.

Although East Asia cannot be compared with Europe, even if the monarchy is destroyed here, it will be uneasy for European emperors, but this is not the Napoleonic period.

Although Britain, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Russia were still monarchies, France and the United States were enough to compete with them, and in the case of distant domestic disputes, the situation of the Manchu Empire at this time could only be left to its own devices.

At the end of August, floods broke out in Jiangsu and Zhili, and natural and man-made disasters came, and there were rumors among the people that this was a sign of God's dissatisfaction, and an ancient empire had begun a real countdown.

In September, Zhao Erfeng finally stood up under the killing ring, and the first independent county appeared in the Sichuan and Shu regions, and then the Sichuan and Shu regions became independent like flowers, and the loss of control in the Sichuan and Shu regions was just around the corner.

On October 10, the first shot was fired in Wuchang, and the Xinhai Revolution broke out.

On October 11, the revolutionaries announced the establishment of the military government of the Republic of China. At the same time, the whole city of Wuchang was recovered. Li Yuanhong served as the governor of the military government of the Republic of China and issued the "Letter to the Fathers of the Country".

On October 22, Changsha became independent, the Hunan military government was established, and the Shaanxi New Army captured Xi'an.

On October 23, Jiangxi Jiujiang and Nanchang were recovered.

On October 25, Li Peiji blew up and killed the new Guangzhou general Fengshan.

On October 27, the Qing court appointed Yuan Shikai as the minister of the Imperial Mission.

At this point, the era of the Beiyang warlords of the Manchu Empire has officially come, and it is estimated that only Yuan Shikai himself knows whether to coerce the Son of Heaven to order Cao Cao of the princes or Cao Pi to replace him.

At the same time, a large number of influential figures in the national period appeared one after another, Deng Shichang, Yan Xishan, Cai Yi, Li Yuanhong, Wang Jingwei...... This is a new era in this ancient land and an important turning point in history.

What happened in the Manchu Qing had little to do with Ernst? No, the interests of the Far East influenced the countries of Europe and the United States at all times, and naturally affected Ernst Franz, a vital figure in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In just one month, so many changes have taken place in the Manchu Empire, and the Western monarchs are dazzled and at the same time relieved that the empire has not collapsed, even if it does not seem to last long.

The Moravian newspapers also reported on the incident, and Maria, who was bored at breakfast, saw the comments in the newspapers and said to Ernst with admiration: "Yuan Shikai is a hero, he saved an ancient empire that was about to collapse." ”

Ernst, who was drinking milk, almost squirted out when he heard this, Yuan Shikai was a loyal minister of the Manchu Empire? This is a big joke, but if you think about it carefully, it is estimated that Ernst is not the only one who thinks the same thing at this time, but also the governors and governors of the Manchu Empire!

"Maybe he thinks the time has not come, and you can't just believe a person's behavior on the surface, and you should be cautious of Maria."

Somewhat dazed, Maria asked Ernst curiously, "Should you be cautious?" What else is the time not yet right? ”

How did Ernst answer such a question? Tell us a little bit about the history of the East? Ernst, who was busy preparing his own plans, did not have the time and energy to leave the table with a few casual sentences. With no choice but to go to Bert for answers.

In November 1911, the Manchu court announced the dissolution of the "Imperial Cabinet" and appointed Yuan Shikai as the prime minister's cabinet. At this time, it is estimated that even those Manchu nobles could not have imagined that the loyal minister in front of them, who pinned all their hopes, would push them all off the cliff.

November was a busy month for the Manchu Empire, with independence in various regions, the formation of a new cabinet busy with the enactment of the parliamentary and election laws, and the government's permission for the revolutionaries to reorganize their parties in accordance with the law, which was a compromise with the power of the revolutionaries in the south.

In December, Ernst's father-in-law made a big deal and Outer Mongolia declared its independence.

It can be regarded as Nicholas II picking up a big bargain, Japan's power in Outer Mongolia can only be coveted and unattainable, and it is one thing that Russia is not so easy to bully, and the distance is also an important reason. Yuan Shikai was naturally dissatisfied with such a thing, but the fact that the southern region was preparing for the Northern Expedition made him too busy to take care of himself, where did he care about the problem of Outer Mongolia at this moment?

The overthrow of the Manchu government and the establishment of a republican form of government, if there is no support from France and the United States, no one will believe it, but in the face of the southern regions of the Manchu Empire, the European monarchies are also somewhat powerless.

Needless to say, Germany and Austria-Hungary did not need to take out their meager interests in the Far East at all. And the British ...... He was naturally reluctant to cooperate with Germany, especially at this time when he stood with France and Russia to suppress the rise of Germany, and naturally had to compromise with the United States and France on some matters, and the Manchu Empire was one of the contents of the compromise.

Yuan Shikai naturally does not support the republic, not to mention how free he is now, and how will he steal the country and sit in the position of emperor in the future once the republic is republic? Therefore, the Manchu government asked him to go to the south for negotiations in a hurry, and Yuan Shi agreed without hesitation.

At this time, Nicholas II, who had not eaten enough, saw that the Manchu Empire was flawless and ignored him, and he went directly to the door to force the Manchu Empire to cede the interests of the Northeast, and the Manchu Empire, which had no energy to deal with Russia, signed the "Manchuria Boundary Treaty" under such circumstances.

After hastily finishing the affairs of Russia, the southern region has been established, and in a hurry, Wang Jingwei was entrusted by Yuan Shikai to go to Shanghai to negotiate peace between the north and the south.

It's Christmas, and the Moravian New City is lit up, and although the neon lights haven't yet appeared, some brilliant lights can already be shown through other technologies, and the whole city is very beautiful. The square in the middle of the new town is crowded with people, and the fountain is dazzling in the light of the lights, and it is the most beautiful night of the new year and Moravia.

Moravia is the land of red wine, and a large number of red wines were taken out this night, with 6 years of precious cellars and 8 years of rare treasures, those two years were the best two years of Moravian grapes, and the price of a single bottle has even exceeded 50 times that of ordinary treasures, and even then it is only priceless.

This night, three bottles of rare treasures and 10 bottles of precious cellar are among the 9,999 cases of red wine, and whoever can taste it can only rely on their own character and luck.

Maria was also very happy, and the servants were all sent out to play freely, and the only conscientious work was probably the police of Moravian New City and the guards around Ernst, especially the guards, who needed to keep an eye out for danger around Ernst at all times, which was a very tiring action.

Massena also appeared here, but at this time he was not the mayor of Moravia, he was just a very ordinary member of the tens of thousands of citizens, and the red wine ran into his stomach one by one.

"I don't think Mayor Massena will have that luck."

This is what Maria who also saw Massena said, and Ernst nodded in agreement, Ernst has never doubted Massena's ability over the years, but his luck value is honestly not high, even low. There were also some young men in military uniforms in the crowd, and they also took turns to go out on vacation to play tricks, and the rules in the Moravian army were very strict, so there was no need to worry about what they would do out of the ordinary.

Moravia was so bustling that Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was not far from there, and the streets were filled with a blonde girl whose fiancée, Victoria, a princess from Germany.

"Why is it so rare to see you talk about Ernst, Misimian?"

Victoria had heard the name Ernst Franz too many times in Germany and Vienna, but in Ernst Franz's home, Victoria rarely heard anyone say it, whether it was Archduchess Sophia, or Archduke Mesimilian or Archduke Ferdinand.

Frowning slightly, Mysimilian had forgotten all the things of the past, but he didn't want to apologize or contact Ernst, and the rest of the family thought that Mysimilian hadn't forgotten, so he rarely mentioned it, which was why Victoria asked.
