The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

The red walls and yellow tiles, Zhu Ying's golden doors, but they can't hide the solemn atmosphere created by the soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition.

Yesterday, the 1st Marine Division stationed in Huludao crossed the Shanhaiguan Pass and entered the capital overnight, and the elite troops of the Northeast Army, which had been undergoing strict training in the past few months, became the first Northeast Army unit to cross the Shanhaiguan Pass after the "Renchen Change", and at this time, their task was not to fight, but to receive!

In this process, the efficient military and political system of the Northeast authorities was even more vividly manifested -- at the same time as the first troops were dispatched, the officials of the administrative organs, banks, and other public systems in the capital were also in place, but only one day later, the capital, which had been in chaos and disorder before, not only restored order, but more importantly, it was completely taken over by the Northeast authorities.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Haoran left Tianjin and came to the capital.

This is the Forbidden City!

Although in another time and space, Tang Haoran had been to the Forbidden City, but it was as a tourist, and now, this time when he came to the Forbidden City, he was as the owner, and the difference in identity made his whole person in an inexplicable emotion.

In the salute of the officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps, Tang Haoran walked through the bayonet of Rulin and walked into the Palace of Nourishing Heart, at this time, he was not dressed like an emperor at all, but more like a soldier, a Northeast Army uniform made of black tweed, and even wore a saber around his waist. The whole person looks more like a soldier than an emperor.

"This is my palace!"

Standing in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Tang Haoran suddenly said to himself secretly in his heart.

But for some reason, he had a strong resistance to this palace and even the city in his heart, and this resistance came from the people who knelt down on the ground along the way - there were hundreds of thousands of bannermen living in this city, and dozens of Han people who had been flagped, and this was exactly what he resisted.

"Your Majesty, we are screening the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and once this work is completed, Your Majesty can stay in the Forbidden City......"

Li Muchen's voice seemed very calm, but his heart was very excited, and now, with the efforts of all of them, the teacher finally became the emperor, not only became the emperor of the new empire, but also took the initiative to surrender to Beiyang, not only the Beiyang Yamen in Tianjin, but also the entire Beiyang system chose to surrender to the new dynasty, and Li Hanzhang in Guangdong also sent a telegram expressing his submission.

There are also Liu Kunyi of Liangjiang, Yang Yangui of Shaanxi and Gansu, and of course, Liu Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, who was originally born in the Huai military system, has also successively supported Tang Haoran as emperor in the past day, and every smart person has made the most beneficial choice for himself, for them, the reason why they chose this way is very simple - strength.

After all, for those smart people, they know very well that when they choose to submit, it means that in the future new dynasty, there will be a place for them, maybe they will lose power, but they can enjoy all the glory and wealth.

"I'm not going to live here!"

Looking at this empty Heart Nourishing Palace, Tang Haoran continued,

"Gang Chang is always upright, and the wind sweeps away the beard!"

After sighing, Tang Haoran took two steps back and forth, and finally cast his eyes on the high dragon chair.

"The smell of nonsense here is too strong!"

After that, Tang Haoran left the Heart Nourishing Palace without looking back, he didn't have much nostalgia for this palace, compared to this old-style palace, he preferred the modern palace.

"Your Majesty, then ...... here"

In an instant, Li Muchen understood what His Majesty meant, and the nonsense here was likely to have an impact on China in the future, even if it was only a slight impact, it needed to be avoided.

"Let's be open! In the future, it will be open to the public, as a royal property, and as a museum to the people! This, well, can form a special committee, as for the city ......"

When leaving the Yangxin Palace, on the square in front of the palace, Tang Haoran looked around at the soldiers around him, through the soldiers like a forest, he saw the eunuchs kneeling on the ground, although they couldn't see their appearance clearly from a long distance, but his brows were still wrinkled, because those eunuchs reminded him of another thing in another time and space - in 1923, a mysterious fire suddenly ignited in the garden of Jianfu Palace in the Forbidden City, and the Jianfu Palace, which contained a large number of Buddha statues, calligraphy and paintings, ancient books and treasures, was wiped out overnight, and countless treasures were buried in the fire. And the fire was because the last emperor wanted to find out the eunuch's crime of stealing treasures, so they burned down the Jianfu Palace garden to destroy the evidence.

"Genyou,"

Thinking of the treasures that were stolen and destroyed by those eunuchs, Tang Haoran immediately commanded Li Muchen.

"The treasure collection in the Forbidden City, after the accumulation of hundreds of years and dozens of generations of emperors in the Ming and Qing dynasties, all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, leather goods, jewelry and precious medicinal materials can be said to be everything, the quantity and value are extremely considerable. Most of these things are kept in the palace intact, but no one has ever counted or checked them. No one knows how many, whether they were lost or not, and how much they lost, which opens the door to thieves. Whoever has the opportunity to steal steals, steals from all, and steals with all the boldness. Therefore, when screening them, it is necessary to pay attention to one point, that is, this hand must be cut off, as well as the eunuchs here......"

As soon as the words sank, Tang Haoran said in an almost cruel tone.

"If you don't leave one in the new dynasty, don't use one of them, let the profession of eunuch disappear from the new dynasty!"

Although he knew that those eunuchs did not have much way to make a living, Tang Haoran still made this decision, and in this regard, Li Muchen or other officials in the Northeast would not have any resistance, after all, for them, they could not accept this "eunuch" This kind of slave who mutilated himself.

Of course, more importantly, the concept that the eunuch has always advocated with the Northeast is contrary, and naturally after His Majesty made this request, Li Muchen immediately said softly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will never let those people take away even a single piece of grass that belongs to the Forbidden City!"

Although the intelligence bureau is not a policeman, but in some things, the intelligence bureau is more professional than the police, in this regard, Tang Haoran naturally has no doubts, he actually does not care about how many treasures there are in the Forbidden City, but on the other hand, he hopes that the future Forbidden City can become a museum with countless treasures, of course, those treasures are royal, the same as this "big courtyard".

"Hmm,"

Nodding, he took one last look at the Palace of Heart Cultivation, and he knew that at the same time that he had made that decision, it would actually mean a separation from the palace, and it could even be said that to some extent, it was also equivalent to announcing the fate of the city - it could no longer be the capital of the new empire.

"Is there any news from Huguang, Yungui and Fujian and Zhejiang?"

Now in the locality, there are only three places left without any performance, only after these three places send out a telegram of support, it means that the emperor has been "recognized by the world", so as to determine his right to rule the country, of course, this is only a preliminary confirmation, after all, there are still many things to be solved, for example, how to solve the legacy of ten years of localism, and the local army, of course, now, this is not important, the important thing is to surrender without a fight.

"For the time being, there is no ......"

When he spoke, Li Muchen looked at His Majesty cautiously, he knew that among the governors, His Majesty treated Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong with the most respect, and now that the Li family has surrendered, there is only one Zhang Zhidong left, and it can even be said that even if it is a few families who have lost their sincerity, I am afraid that they are also looking at Zhang Zhidong and Your Majesty now.

"Oh......"

Nodding, Tang Haoran pursed his lips and said after a while.

"What is the situation on the side of the Northern Fleet?"

After getting a positive answer, Tang Haoran thought for a moment and said.

"Order the Beiyang Fleet to move to Keelung!"

The reason why the Beiyang Fleet was ordered to move to Keelung was to let the Bian family there make a choice, Bian Bao's first "smart" choice was to divide Fujian and Zhejiang into three places, in fact, the reason why Tang Haoran ordered the Beiyang Fleet to move was to force the Bian family to express its position, and it was also to test the attitude of the Beiyang Fleet, to be precise, the attitude of the entire Beiyang Army and Navy.

Different from the superficial submission that others need, what Tang Haoran needs is to take back all their power, at this point, Li Jingshu is very clear that he also handed over all the power, if it were not for his own insistence, he even wanted to hand over the post of governor of Beiyang, of course, in the future, he must be revoked from this position, but now, he also needs him to stand there, to send a signal to the other governors and their cronies that everything can be retained except for the army, of course, this is only temporary, In the future, as a large number of officials move south, the new administrative system will empty the governor's palace.

Of course, sending the Beiyang Fleet will also play a role, that is, to show the world a kind of determination -- if necessary, Tang Haoran will choose force, and he does not mind using force.

"Your Majesty, this will naturally be in charge of the General Staff, and the minister is not a soldier, so it is inconvenient to give an opinion!"

As in the past, Li Muchen kept his duties, but unlike in the past, after discovering that he was "colluding" with others, although he still trusted him very much, Tang Haoran was actually ready to take him down from his current position, sometimes, tools are tools, and tools can't have their own thoughts.

After all, once a tool has a mind, it will eventually turn against its master, which is almost a certainty!

"Hmm!"

Nodding silently, when expressing his approval, Tang Haoran had to think about Huguang's affairs again.

"If I'm not mistaken, most of the army officers in Huguang are from the Northeast!"

In fact, except for a few high-ranking generals, more than 40 percent of the middle-level officers of Huguang's 200,000 new army graduated from the Northeast Army Military Academy, and even the Wuchang Army Military Academy At its beginning, half of the instructors were from the Northeast.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Looking at His Majesty, Li Muchen was silent for a moment, and then asked tentatively.

"Do you want to borrow the young strong officer to put pressure on Zhang Zhidong?"

After the outbreak of the war between the Northeast and Russia, the biggest characteristic of the new army in various places was that the "young strong officers" advocated aiding the Northeast and fighting together with the Northeast Army. And he can only sit back and watch with the south.

It can be said that it is precisely the existence of those young and strong officers that is the reason why the inland provinces do not dare to act rashly -- every governor does not dare to guarantee that there will be no mutiny within the army of the northeast when they attack the northeast, but the result of the mutiny is predictable, and in the event of a mutiny, they are very likely to die without a place to be buried, so they would rather maintain "friendly relations" with the northeast than risk breaking with the northeast.

"Applying pressure?"

The corners of his lips raised slightly, Tang Haoran first nodded, and then shook his head,

"It's not that kind of pressure, what we have to see is that once those young officers put pressure on Zhang Zhidong, then they will realize their own strength, and they will most likely put pressure on us in the future, so for us, this kind of pressure is not conducive to the stability of the empire in the future......"

Some things cannot be set a precedent, and once a hole is torn open, then no one knows what will happen in the future, just like Japan in another time and space, the arrogance of those young and strong officers in Japan finally dominated the fate of the country.

"My thoughts ......"

After a moment of silence, Tang Haoran glanced into the distance, and then said.

"Can you mobilize the troops of Liangjiang, as well as the troops of the Beiyang Army stationed in Henan, while we mobilize the troops, see what the reaction will be on the Wuchang side, and at this time, the intelligence bureau can do some work appropriately, after all, ......"

After a slight pause, Tang Haoran smiled.

"He knows that there are too many of our people in his army!"

This is Zhang Zhidong's biggest concern, whether those people are loyal or not, for Zhang Zhidong, they are not to be trusted, at least to some extent, they are very likely to be rebelled, and at that time, for Zhang Zhidong, he will not have too many choices, in fact, at that time, he only has one choice.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the troops of Liangjiang can't be mobilized, after all, ......"

The words sank slightly, and Li Muchen looked at His Majesty and said.

"After all, there is still a person ,...... over there in Jiangxi" (to be continued.) )
