"In the early period of the empire, in order to seek the way of prosperity and strength, China launched the road of seeking knowledge in the world, and sent a large number of students to various countries, these students introduced the scientific and technological civilization of Western countries into China at the same time, because they themselves were influenced by Western culture, and then influenced by various Western currents of thought, Darwinism, socialism, populism, liberalism, social democracy, anarchism and other currents of thought, and among these currents of thought, the most influential on modern China is the anarchists, Although historically they are classified as a "republican radical faction", in fact, they are influenced by anarchist ideas,

Assassination, in the special era of the early imperial period, was by no means equated with the so-called "terrorism" of ordinary people today, and the assassination doctrine held by those "republican radical factions" was the crystallization of the spirit of the ancient Chinese ranger assassin and the revolutionary assassination activities of the Western bourgeoisie, and was a typical product of "combining Chinese and Western" cultures. 【Martial Arts】

The Assassins in the radical faction of the Republic, the main assassins are rarely professional assassins who kill for money, and most of them are well-honed young people from good families. The purpose of their assassination was to bring about a revolution and to realize the dream of establishing a republic in China.

In a way, the radicals saw themselves as the "heroes" of the prophets, and the numb people as the "gangsters" waiting to be watched. Only by relying on the hero's individual can the drunken mob be awakened.

In other words, the bloody heads of a small number of heroes can serve as a guiding light for the broad masses and guide and promote the revolution. Because of this, they have always fantasized about winning a complete victory by "killing" the emperor. Therefore, assassination became their only resort.

When the Republican radicals try to wake up the "sleeping" people with bombs, daggers, bullets, and thunder, do they know that the power of bombs is far more than that?

Looking back at the early days of the empire, no one can deny that the explosion of that day opened a history, and from that day as the dividing line, everything changed......"

A Centennial Review of the Empire - The Dividing Line

In front of a hut on the outskirts of Wuhan, Li Shaoshao rang the electric bell on the fence gate, the stucco of the façade of the German-style building built in the middle of the Guangxu period had peeled off due to the erosion of the monsoon, and the only visible sign on it was a copper plate engraved in Chinese. On the copper plate is written the name of the owner of the house - Zhou Jieru.

In the past half month, Li Shaoshao and Zhou Jieru, as well as more than a dozen relevant participants, have been intensively preparing and planning future actions.

After a brief conversation with Zhou Jieru in the living room, Li Shaoshao was introduced to a person surnamed Tian, who seemed very polite, and although he spoke fluent Wuhan dialect, Li Shaoshao still guessed that he was not from Wuhan, and maybe not even Chinese!

And he was a technician invited by Zhou Jieru to teach Li Shaoshao how to use the bomb, in the basement, Li Shaoshao stared at that Mr. Tian intently, and he deeply attracted them with his skillful skills. At this time, Mr. Tian was crouching on the ground, carefully placing the detonator inside the bomb, and the bomb compartment exploded at the time they had arranged in advance to ensure the success of the assassination plan.

"Shaoshao, you must make everything safe, because this is our only chance to succeed."

Looking at the bomb, Zhou Jieru said to Li Shaoshao in a low voice with a pale face.

After the preparation was over, Mr. Tian cut a section of the detonation wire, immediately lit it, and then asked Li Shaoshao to use the second hand of the watch to calculate the burning time of the detonation wire. But these people who have become fanatical for their faith are nothing more than a group of pathetic terrorists who have not yet started. Beams of sparks and thick smoke burst from the fuse, nearly suffocating them to death. …,

After the horror had calmed down, they returned to the basement and sat around, listening to him assign tasks to each of them. According to the plan, the main body of the bomb will be delivered to the courtyard of the Provincial Assembly in advance, and the bomb will be parked in the parking lot behind the Provincial Assembly, less than six meters from the podium, at the foot of the wall of the Provincial Council. Li Shaoshao, on the other hand, entered the provincial council as a journalist and stood less than five meters away from Yuan Shikai while trying to get as close to the window as possible.

Li Shaoshao was responsible for coordinating and directing the entire action plan. When Yuan Shikai spoke, he immediately used gestures at the window to notify the comrades outside the door. Subsequently, then the comrades outside the door were responsible for igniting the detonation line of the bomb. In order to completely and cleanly remove Yuan Shikai, they prepared a whole truckload of 3,500 kilograms of explosives, which were detonated with 14 detonators at the same time.

In the end, Zhou Jieru admitted that this action plan will cause many innocent sacrifices, but this is inevitable. China must pay a high price for the true freedom of the country, which is the inevitability of the revolution!

"In exchange for the death of one person, he is responsible for the hundreds of thousands of civilians who died in the centralized labor camps of the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the establishment of the empire, and he is also responsible for the hundreds of thousands of Korean people who were slaughtered!"

After the last emphasis, Zhou Jieru looked at Li Shaoshao.

"It's going to be a thunderclap, and it's going to change the whole of China,"

If the emperor himself is killed, it may really be possible to change China! In his opinion, this seems a bit absurd, Yuan Shikai is just a minister, just a high-ranking nobleman, maybe he needs to be responsible for the death of the centralized labor camp of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, maybe he needs to be responsible for the death of the North Koreans who were killed, but is it really possible to change China and shock the Chinese people by killing him?

Perhaps, there is a real possibility!

At this moment, a person hurriedly knocked on the door, and then Zhou Jieru walked out, and a few minutes later, Zhou Jieru walked into the basement again, his face looked extremely ugly, and it took a while to spit out a sentence.

"The itinerary has changed!"

What the?

Li Shaoshao and the others were shocked, all their plans were according to Yuan Shikai's itinerary, if the itinerary changed......

"He's not going to the provincial council anymore, he's going to Ziqiang University instead! Hmmm......"

After a moment of silence, a ruthless color flashed in Zhou Jieru's eyes.

"Let's take a look at the revision plan and move ...... at Ziqiang University"

"No, no!"

Almost instinctively, without waiting for Zhou Jieru to finish speaking, Li Shaoshao immediately raised his voice and objected, and when everyone turned their attention to him, he knew that he had to use a suitable reason to lobby them.

"In the university, there are a lot of people who are and are our supporters, and we can't ...... No, yes, if Yuan Shikai goes to the university, the university will definitely be heavily guarded and ......"

At this time, Li Shaoshao thought of the attack he witnessed at the train station.

"And a few days ago, there was an assassin at the train station, Yuan Shikai went to the university, it must be for demonstration, and then there may be secret agents on campus, even if there are comrades in the school to cover up, we may not have a chance, at least we can't guarantee success, we should change places......"

"Shaoshao, then where do you think we should be!"

Facing the eyes of his comrades, Li Shaoshao only felt a bitterness in his throat, Ziqiang University was his alma mater, and he never wanted to detonate a bomb there, not to mention that there were a large number of alumni who were injured by mistake, and they ......

Let's hope I can convince them! …,

"I am the country!"

The heavy work during the war really made Chen Moran a little tired, because there were too many things to consider, so that his spirit and body were sleepy.

Stretching his waist, Chen Moran saw a report on the domestic security situation on his desk.

"Another official has been assassinated, how many are these? Ninth, or tenth? ”

Seeing that an official had been assassinated, he couldn't help but feel pity for the assassinated official, who, according to the official version, was an assassination by a radical or an anarchist.

But in fact?

"This is revenge!"

Without hesitation, Chen Moran spit out these four words with contempt on his lips.

Natural Death!

After one "natural death" after another, it is natural to face this kind of revenge, revenge from the republicans, although it has been vaguely guessed that those natural deaths may not be simple, but for the sake of the overall situation, Chen Moran finally chose to turn a blind eye, but it appropriately reminded some relevant departments that sometimes, some things can't be done too much.

The truth.

When Chen Moran did not sit in this position, he had longed for the truth, and even had the painful experience of almost being wrongfully imprisoned, which made him crave the truth and justice more than anyone else, but now, for those two words, he was numb, although he did not change his belief in the creed of justice, but sometimes, some things have no truth, but it is better than the truth being revealed.

What's more, deep down, he has become more and more tired of those people, since they are dead, and it is a "natural death", it is even better, whether it is a natural death, or an assassination, the trouble is finally lifted, and there is no need to think about those people anymore.

But now, the report on the domestic security situation clearly reminds Chen Moran of the fact that the republican radicals did not fall silent because of that kind of intimidation, but quickly launched a counterattack, they retaliated by assassinating officials at all levels, and the semi-silence of the republican militants in the past few years made the country relax its vigilance, which directly led to the killing of a deputy governor, followed by the successful assassination of many officials by assassins.

"It seems that the security of the palace should be strengthened!"

When this thought moved, Chen Moran sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that he had finally come to this day, unless he was heavily guarded, he couldn't talk about any sense of security at all.

"You're really looking more and more like a dictator!"

With a mocking smile on his lips, Chen Moran longed for the heads of state of those Nordic countries that he was very envious of in the past in the future, and they could even ride bicycles to "work", but now he not only failed to do that, but even needed to further strengthen the security of the palace, is this a failure in power?

Answer...... There is no answer.

It may be a failure in some respects, but that doesn't mean it's a failure to govern...... Shaking his head and sighing in his heart, Chen Moran left his office, and when his leather shoes stepped on the smooth marble floor, he made a slight sound, and a lonely figure was reflected on the marble floor.

Looking at that figure, Chen Moran secretly thought in his heart, maybe being a gentleman is accompanied by loneliness!

With his heart so secretly discussing, Chen Moran slowly walked out of the Qinzheng Building, different from the past, today he did not choose to take the elevator, but chose to take the stairs, when walking down the stairs, a burst of children's words came to his ears, looking along the sound, only to see a group of children under the guidance of the staff, is visiting the Qinzheng Building, looking at them, suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, because the scene in front of him is proving his success, perhaps in their eyes, he is a dictator, but in another sense, he succeeded. …,

"His government building is open, and there are no guards at the door to check his documents. He walked in and out of the government building as if he were in and out of a shopping mall. He went through a formality, applied for a document, stamped a few stamps, and passed through the road unimpeded. Take the number and wait, no one will cut the line. When it was his turn, the civil servants would not give him a look or make things difficult for him. With things done, he can also visit the bookstore in the government building and have a cup of coffee. Coffee and snacks were brought by young people with intellectual disabilities, and the government required every agency to employ a certain percentage of people with physical and mental disabilities. While sitting in the atrium drinking coffee, you may just see the mayor walking by, and he can run over and ask for an autograph on the spot. If he waits too long in the city or has a bad attitude as a civil servant, he may vote for another mayoral candidate four years later. ”

Thinking of this passage, the corners of Chen Moran's mouth lifted lightly, maybe he couldn't do everything, but at least part of it, now in China, at least some things have been changed, perhaps, there are nobles in China now, but at least the "official master" is disappearing, maybe a considerable part of those officials are appointed by the central government, but the central government needs to take into account public opinion, in this country, the people's opinions are not blocked, but are valued.

"A hundred years from now, if people look back at the present, who would dare to say, I am a dictator?"

With a sense of contentment, Chen Moran even walked out of the "Qinzheng Building" a little refreshed, and entered the palace after leaving the Qinzheng Building...... Well, thrifty, restraint.

In Chinese history, there is no better emperor than himself!

Suddenly, looking at his home, Chen Moran's heart swelled with a strong sense of pride, yes, the founding kings of any Chinese dynasty, maybe they have achieved such and such success, but a few can take over such a dilapidated scene like themselves, but in the end they have become such a ...... Powerful!

Without!

No one can do it better and be more successful than themselves!

With a hint of pride on his face, with a relaxed and firm step, Chen Moran walked towards "home", the emperor also needs to stay with his family, perhaps, under such success, he should take some time to spend more time with his family.

"Toot ......"

The whistle sounded at the Wuchang wharf, a white thousand-ton cruise ship whistled with the help of the barge, slowly approaching the wharf, in a temporary exclusive wharf on the wharf, the governor of Hubei Province, parliamentarians and celebrities and gentry from all walks of life are standing there, welcoming the arrival of the president of the House of Nobles.

At this time, everything on the dock seemed extremely normal, although an officer had been assassinated at the train station just a week earlier, there was still no sign of security here, only a few dozen police officers were maintaining order, and they were responsible for isolating the exclusive dock.

Driving a truck, Li Shaoshao, dressed as a truck driver, looked at the freight gate of the dock from a distance, the gate was still as open as in the past, and there were only two policemen who looked very young, standing there lazily, they did not have a trace of vigilance.

While constantly cheering himself up, Li Shaoshao was glad in his heart, because the comrades were persuaded by him to abandon the operation in the university and support his proposal to do it at the dock, and in order to ensure the success of the operation, they bought more explosives, and the ten-ton truck was full of ten tons of explosives.

Just when Li Shaoshao was cheering himself up, when a truck carrying goods approached the gate, the policeman just checked the waybill, and the other policeman just lifted the canvas canopy to take a look, and then waved his hand, and the truck was let go into the dock.

"Hope ......"

After starting the car again, Li Shaoshao, whose palms were full of sweat, muttered softly, and then stepped on the accelerator, the ten-ton cargo truck drove towards the gate of the cargo terminal, and when there were still more than ten meters away from the gate, the two policemen stood up and waved him to stop the car.

"What's in the car? Delivery note! ”

As soon as the car stopped, the police went to the window and shouted.

"Officer, the car is carrying chemical dyes sent to Nanjing by Taihe Company......"

Rolled down the window and handed over the delivery note, Li Shaoshao explained, while twisting his thighs hard to make himself less nervous, but the policeman didn't look at him, just looked at the waybill, and the other policeman walked to the back of the truck, picked up the canvas canopy, and saw that there were black iron drums pulled inside, and the name of "Taihe Company" was still on the iron drums, so he waved his hand to the police in front.

"No problem!"

Released!

The so-called inspection did not even delay even a minute, after being released, Li Shaoshao hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and slowly drove towards the cargo terminal, the freight terminal and the passenger terminal, in fact, only separated by an iron fence, and across the iron fence, he saw that the white cruise ship had already docked.
