Chapter 714: The Appearance of All Living Beings (Part II)
Pu Wei ran out of the palace, and then began to make a lot of noise, obviously scolding Wang Guorui, but it was useless. And at this time, someone came over with dozens of people, and these people had knives and pistols in their hands, apparently some armed forces.
"Zaifeng, is that you? Are you going to crusade against Wang Guorui's traitor? Okay, I'll go with you and crusade against Wang Guorui, a traitor! Pu Wei shouted excitedly.
But the man named Zaifeng slapped him and said angrily: "Pu Wei, are you crazy? You are here to make our Aixin Jueluo family fall into death without a place to be buried! You really think I'm going to crusade against Wang Guorui, I'm maintaining law and order for Wang Guorui! As long as I maintain the law and order in the capital, then I will have no credit and hard work, at least I can save the life of Prince Alcohol and his family. ”
"What? You actually ......, are you still a descendant of the Aixin Jueluo family? Pu Wei said angrily,
Zaifeng said: "It is precisely because I am a descendant of the Aixin Jueluo family that I want to make the last effort for my Aixin Jueluo family and save the life of my Aixin Jueluo family." Pu Wei, can't you see that the Qing Dynasty is over. My Qing Dynasty has also had more than 200 years of national fortune, shouldn't it be destroyed? ”
"Zaifeng, you are my Prince of the Qing Dynasty, how can you say such a thing?" Pu Wei said angrily.
"Haha, this court, I see it better than anyone else. Who in my Qing Dynasty can turn the tide, no! Zaifeng said.
Pu Wei felt incredible, it was incredible, an iron hat king of the Qing Dynasty would actually think that he should die in the Qing Dynasty, this is simply incredible. And if Pu Wei knew how Zaifeng did it in the original history, he wouldn't be surprised.
You must know that in the original history of the Xinhai Revolution, there were two strange things in the Manchu imperial family. One is the Prince of Qing, Yixuan, who took the initiative to persuade the emperor to abdicate for the one million silver dollars that Yuan Shikai gave him, and this guy can even sell his ancestors for money. And the other person, that is, this Zaifeng. The last emperor of the Manchu Dynasty, Pu Yi, was also the biological son of Zaifeng, who served as the regent of the Manchu state for the last three years of the Qing Dynasty. He was the de facto ruler of the last three years of the Manchu Qing dynasty.
However, perhaps history has seriously ignored the level of this Zaifeng, which is definitely one of the rare "smart people" in the late Qing Dynasty. It was precisely because of his efforts that the Manchu imperial family was able to successfully "soft landing" and successfully carry out the revolution at the lowest cost. From this point of view, in fact, he is also a person who has a certain amount of "merit" for the revolution.
In the last three years of Zaifeng's reign, he generally adopted a much more tolerant strategy towards revolutionaries than in the past, even the "surnamed Wang" who assassinated him chose a certain degree of tolerance, but sentenced him to life imprisonment. and also publicly praised the "surname Wang". Although the "surnamed Wang" ended up being a traitor, he was also a revolutionary!
Zaifeng is definitely a guy who saw the situation very clearly in the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, maybe he already knew that the imperial court was no longer available. Although he made a final effort to save the Manchus in his last three years, he tried to clean up Yuan Shikai and then regain military power in the imperial family. However, he was tolerant of anyone with political views, whether constitutionalists or revolutionaries, and chose great tolerance and did not exterminate them all. Try to maintain balance as much as possible.
However, when it came time for the Xinhai Revolution, he chose to voluntarily hand over power. Without the slightest love stack, he directly handed over the power to Yuan Shikai. If it weren't for his decisiveness, the final evolution of the situation would probably not have been so smooth, and it would not have allowed the Manchu imperial family to finally succeed in a "soft landing" that was not liquidated by the Republic of China.
Of course, this Zaifeng is for the stability of his family, but his strategic vision and analytical vision of the situation are definitely not bad. Later, Zhang Xun was restored. He watched from the sidelines and did not participate in the so-called restoration of his son. And when the Japanese supported his son Pu Yi to establish the puppet Manchukuo, he also scolded his son Pu Yi and resolutely refused to cooperate with the Japanese and go to the puppet Manchukuo. So this guy still stands up in the general interests of the country, and he knows very well that those things can be done. Those things can't be done.
Although he is for the stability of his family, he is definitely a person with very high means, and he has a line for anyone. This is also the principle of being a man and leaving a line, and seeing each other in the future. He left a line for Yuan Shikai and did not kill Yuan Shikai directly, which can be regarded as having a room for Yuan Shikai to turn around in the future. A certain degree of tolerance for the revolutionary party at least provided a foundation for him to keep the imperial family after his abdication in the future, so as not to brew into an undying mortal enemy.
So this Zaifeng is definitely not a fool, he sees the situation very clearly. At this time, you must not engage in any restoration, any crusade against Wang Guorui, that is looking for death by yourself! Originally, if Wang Guorui didn't want to kill them, if someone went to restore and crusade against Wang Guorui, it would have forced Wang Guorui to attack.
"Pu Wei is already crazy, you take him back, and then the rest of the people will go and help me maintain law and order!" Zaifeng said.
In Prince Qing's Mansion, Wang Guorui's headquarters, Wang Guorui listened to Li Zhanfeng's report.
"Lord Wang, now there are many people in the capital who have begun to petition, hoping that the Manchu Emperor can issue an edict. If nothing else, Guangxu and the Queen Mother will soon be unable to bear the pressure and take the initiative to make an order. Li Zhanfeng said.
Wang Guorui closed his eyes and said, 'Got it! How is the security in the capital, but don't make a mess at this time. If someone makes trouble at this time, I am afraid that it will really be a happy event and a mourning event. “
Wang Guorui didn't care too much about this abdication edict. Anyway, if there is an edict, he will be the emperor, and if there is no edict, he will be the emperor, can anyone still oppose it? Wang Guorui is most worried that chaos is likely to occur in the process of the transfer of power, and there must be a lot of overt and covert resistance in the process of each change of power. It cannot be ruled out that some of them are the last fight of the old forces, and if they are not well controlled, I am afraid that it will bring a shadow to the future enthronement and revolution. After all, the so-called change of dynasty is also to carry out auspiciousness, which is a good thing. If you bleed too much and made the whole process extremely bloody, then I am afraid that your face will not look good in the end! Although everyone knows that there is blood behind the change of dynasty, there are some things that cannot be taken on the surface. At least before ascending the throne, you can't make a lot of blood, which will definitely discredit the happy event, and maybe the happy event will turn into a funeral.
"Lord Wang, now the entire capital is also under our absolute control. Huang Hua, director of the Beijing Garrison Bureau, also ordered Zheng Zhicai, the chief of various underground forces in the capital, to control those subordinates and let them not make trouble, and if anyone dared to make trouble and die, they would not be responsible. There are also all kinds of Manchu nobles, and people have also been arranged to keep an eye on them, and their every move will be under our watch. Some of these Manchu nobles cried and grabbed the ground, and they had no idea at all. Some people shouted loudly, wanting to bring people to crusade against you, Lord Wang, but they were just scolding people, in fact, they didn't have the courage to come out to crusade against you, Lord Wang. Some of them are bold, but their subordinates have no guts, and no one is willing to cooperate with them at all. Among the ministers of the Manchu court in the past, many even took the initiative to go to the palace to help Lord Wang force the palace, hoping to get your reward in the future. However, there is another special guy who feels a little interesting! Li Zhanfeng said.
"What's interesting?" Wang Guorui asked.
"Prince Alcohol of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, at this time, not only did he not say anything to crusade against you, Lord Wang, but also did not choose to cry and grab the earth, but took the initiative to help our police and army maintain law and order." Li Zhanfeng said.
Wang Guorui nodded and said, "If you want to talk about the smart people in the Manchu royal family, then this Zaifeng is definitely one." Unfortunately, although he is smart, he does not have the ability to turn the tide. If he had been born a hundred years or so earlier, he might have been able to achieve something. But at this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was already difficult to return, and it was not something he could save back. This China will not be able to save China without a transformation from beginning to end, from the economy to politics, from the landlord class to the bourgeoisie. Even, even if Zaifeng achieved the throne, he didn't have any way. This empress dowager is actually a powerful character, but the class he naturally represents cannot allow them to reform. In fact, Cixi also wanted to strengthen the country and reform, and he also had the practice of supporting the reform of the law. And Zaifeng actually thinks about being able to reform, but the class he is in allows them to do it. If you want to betray your own class, this is not so easy to do, and the resistance in this is simply not what ordinary people can imagine. If you can successfully betray your own class, then you may be able to become a great man, a real great man. ”
Wang Guorui knew that since ancient times, people who have been able to successfully betray their own class, except for a small number of people among the founding fathers of New China in later generations, almost no one can successfully betray their own class. Only those later founding fathers of New China had all classes, and even there was no lack of landlords and capitalists. But they were all able to betray the class and support the revolution, which is definitely not something that can be done so simply. This is the difference between the butt deciding the head, and the head deciding the buttocks. The ass determines the head, and it is actually an ordinary person. If you can let your head decide your ass, you're a great man. (To be continued.) )
