622 Came just in time (Happy Eleventh Brothers)
The last emperor of the Qing Empire was: Aixin Jueluo Puyi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Eight years ago, Pu Yi officially abdicated, announcing the end of the Qing Empire.
After his abdication, Pu Yi still lived in the Forbidden City, and enjoyed the 4 million silver dollars provided by the Republic of China government every year for royal expenses, which was later changed to 4 million Singapore dollars, which is still a considerable amount of money.
In fact, Pu Yi is also a tragedy, Pu Yi in 1920 just turned 15 years old, but has been the emperor for 13 years, during which Pu Yi experienced the Xinhai Revolution, experienced abdication, and experienced restoration, which could have been described as colorful, but because he was too young to help himself, it became a complete tragedy.
Well, this "13-year Yellow Emperor" looks a bit unrigorous, after all, Pu Yi was forced to abdicate after only three years as emperor.
In fact, although Pu Yi has abdicated, Pu Yi's life in the Forbidden City and the emperor are undoubtedly still using the Xuantong era name, and there are still a large number of eunuchs and palace maids to serve, and the degree of food and clothing is not inferior to that of the Yellow Emperor of the Qing Empire.
Although the Republic of China claims to be a democratic country and has overthrown the imperial system, the emperor is still being served in the Forbidden City, and there is still a group of people in the capital who are dreaming of restoring the "prosperous Kangqian era", which is full of absurd irony.
Qin Zhiyuan actually doesn't have much ill feeling towards Pu Yi, after all, he has never dealt with him, Pu Yi is just a child, and he is still a child who can't help himself, I'm afraid Pu Yi himself doesn't know what he's doing, and Pu Yi's life can't be decided by himself, this is also a puppet who is supported by others in the front desk.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Pu Yi is still the emperor of the Qing Empire, there is nothing good in front of Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan is still the king of Lanfang, and he is also the founding monarch, compared with Pu Yi, it is a world of difference.
Keep a normal heart, no one is easy, being an emperor also has the pain of being an emperor.
Bah, this is really hypocritical.
The destination of Qin Zhiyuan and his entourage was Taiye Pond, which is the presidential palace of the Beiyang government, where Qin Zhiyuan will also live during his visit.
Taiye Pond is also called "Xiyuan", in fact, it is Zhongnanhai, since the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912, it has become the presidential palace of the Beiyang government, after Xu Shichang became president, it is naturally Xiao Gui Cao Sui.
If you don't want to follow Xiao Gui, there is no way, Xu Shichang can be said to be the weakest president in the history of the Republic of China, and his own ability is not bad, but unfortunately he has no strength, and he can't do anything if he wants to, so he can only go with the flow.
Qin Zhiyuan is also Chinese, although he is the king of Lanfang, but the procedure of visiting relatives is similar to that of ordinary Chinese relatives, and he always has to have a reception banquet first to win over his feelings.
This reception banquet is lackluster, although the food is beautiful and the service is considerate, but for Qin Zhiyuan, the banquet is just a form of attracting feelings, and there is not much special meaning in it.
Many Chinese people are actually accustomed to talking about things at the wine table, but that is only limited to a general context, and no one will talk about the specific details at the wine table, and they can't talk about any results, and they don't play much role.
So Qin Zhiyuan opened his mind, and the person who came did not refuse to drink until the glass was dry, no matter who was in front of him, he behaved quite boldly.
However, when it comes to Qin Zhiyuan's position, many things are not under Qin Zhiyuan's control.
Halfway through the banquet, Gao Hongshi came to report: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that Chief Manager Huang was detained by people from the Southern Military Government in Wuchang. ”
Impound?
Qin Zhiyuan was a little stunned, and came back to his senses in an instant.
As early as more than half a year ago, Qin Zhiyuan sent Huang Fugui to the Republic of China to personally take charge of immigration matters.
Huang Fugui is also considered to be dedicated, after getting Qin Zhiyuan's order, he worked tirelessly in the Republic of China, in this half year, the immigration from the Republic of China to Lanfang continued to increase, and nearly a million people went to sea from various ports to Lanfang every month, and Huang Fugui made great contributions to this.
"What's going on?" Qin Zhiyuan's face immediately turned cold.
During the Lantern Festival, Qin Zhiyuan just gave Huang Fugui the title of "earl", just to facilitate Huang Fugui to walk in the Republic of China. But I didn't expect that just a few days after he was knighted, Huang Fugui was detained, and it was during Qin Zhiyuan's visit to China, which was simply a naked slap in the face.
"Originally, yesterday there was a shipload of immigrants going from Sichuan to Cam Ranh Bay, and last night the ship arrived in Wuchang, and the British took people from the Southern Military Government to board the ship to check, saying that there were contraband on board, saying that we had violated the agreement not to transport arms to the Republic of China, so the whole ship was detained. Gao Hongshi's face was gloomy.
There is a saying in the Chinese world called "the lord humiliates the minister to death", although it looks a little foolish and loyal, but it also reflects the order between the monarch and the minister, Huang Fugui's detention is equivalent to slapping Qin Zhiyuan's face, and Qin Zhiyuan's face is equivalent to an insult to Gao Hongshi, if according to the idea of "the lord humiliates the minister's death", Gao Hongshi wants to splash blood in five steps to earn face for Qin Zhiyuan.
As for this "agreement not to transport arms to the Republic of China," the official name is the "Agreement on the Prohibition of Trade with China," which was proposed by the Americans in order to cut off the source of arms for the warlords in the Republic of China and force the war in the Republic of China to subside.
In fact, the Americans are quite cute, in the concept of the Americans, since the Republic of China cannot even manufacture weapons and ammunition, then as long as the arms trade with China is stopped, the warlords in the Republic of China will have no source of arms, and the war will naturally not be able to continue, and the Republic of China will return to peace.
It's a pity that the Americans still don't know enough about the Chinese, and the talent of the Chinese in this area of war is unparalleled in the world, in the eyes of the Americans, there is no way to fight without machine guns and cannons, but before the invention of modern hot weapons, the history of Chinese warfare has lasted for thousands of years, and the scale is not small at all.
Lan Fang will also be one of the signatories of the "National Trade Ban Agreement on China", standing in Lan Fang's position, if there is no war in the Republic of China, then it will be more powerful for Lan Fang, Qin Zhiyuan does not want to see a Republic of China that is ruined, although the number of Chinese is large, but none of them are redundant, the Chinese are indeed good at destruction, but compared with other ethnic groups, the Chinese are better at creating, so the Chinese should not waste too much energy on the war.
Lan Fang did what he said, since he signed the "Agreement on the Prohibition of Trade between Countries with China", Lan Fang has not sold a single gun to the Republic of China, and even trained troops for the Beiyang government, Qin Zhiyuan strictly ordered Lan Fang's soldiers not to participate in the war.
Qin Zhiyuan was sure that in this regard, no one would dare to disobey Qin Zhiyuan's orders.
Then, it can only be the British who deliberately find fault.
"Telegraph to the Prime Minister and ask him to negotiate with Owen Jonah immediately, and the British must release the ship immediately, otherwise Antonio will seal Malacca for me." Qin Zhiyuan was decisive.
In the Far East, Qin Zhiyuan had a way to counter the British.
Not to mention the British, even if the British and the Americans collude together, they have to give Lan Fang three points in the Far East, Qin Zhiyuan has this confidence.
The British, who once relied on controlling the Strait of Malacca, could unscrupulously choke the throat of East Asia.
This hidden danger does not exist for Lan Fang, but because Lan Fang controls half of the Strait of Malacca, Lan Fang can blockade Malacca and counter the British.
Although the British did not need to go through Malacca to get from Europe to British Malaya, the British also had a Hong Kong in the Far East, which was more valued by the British than British Malaya.
"The situation is not optimistic, there is no definite news yet, it is certain that the gun was moved, there must be casualties, and the situation of Mr. Huang is not clear." Gao Hongshi's face was ugly.
"Bastard!" Qin Zhiyuan subconsciously clenched the cup in his hand.
Qin Zhiyuan and Gao Hongshi's secret words still attracted the attention of others, especially Zhang Yuting, just when the worries between Qin Zhiyuan's eyebrows had not been resolved, Zhang Yuting came over silently.
In the Republic of China, Zhang Yuting and Lan Fang are now the most closely connected, so Zhang Yuting has always paid attention to Qin Zhiyuan's every move.
Zhang Yuting, who came over, didn't speak, this is just an attitude, just express it.
Qin Zhiyuan made up his mind, then found Xu Shichang to confess his guilt, and led Gao Hongshi to turn around and walk out of the banquet hall.
"Tell me, what's going on?" In the side hall, Qin Zhiyuan's face sank like water.
At this time, there were only Qin Zhiyuan and Gao Hongshi in the side hall, and Huang Fugui's detention was not very glorious, and it was not suitable for fanfare, so it had to be dealt with secretly.
"At present, the intelligence is insufficient, the specific situation is not clear, and the southern military government has just taken Wuchang, which was Wu Ziyu's territory before. Wu Ziyu is also brave and good at fighting, and he originally fought well, but the Beiyang government slapped Zhang Xunchen and Wu Ziyu to cooperate, Wu Ziyu attacked the city in front, Zhang Xunchen picked up cheap in the back, Wu Ziyu was dissatisfied, but Duan Zhiquan protected Zhang Xunchen here, so Wu Ziyu was a little sluggish during this time, so he lost Wuchang, and Mr. Huang was also unlucky, just at this pass to Wuchang, and was detained. Gao Hongshi didn't quite understand.
The Republic of China is a mess, and it is not easy to explain it.
This involves the misfortune of the previous "dispute between the government and the court", the struggle between the direct line and the Anhui line, and the quarrel between the southern military government and the Beiyang government, and it is really difficult to sort it out.
"Grasp the point, where is Manager Huang now?" Qin Zhiyuan tried to find the core of the problem.
"It's not clear yet." Without enough information, Gao Hongshi can't help it.
"Where did Mr. Huang last appear?" Qin Zhiyuan still pays attention to people, and first makes sure that people are okay.
"Overseer's House." This time, Gao Hongshi quickly gave the answer.
Qin Zhiyuan still wanted to ask, but Dong Xingxiu knocked on the door and came in: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yuting asks to see you." ”
Zhang Yuting, this is the biggest snake in the Republic of China, and it came at the right time.
