Thanks to pkurand for the reward, Satan is so excited that he won't say anything, and he will work hard for two shifts today, thank you for your support!! Cheeky for red tickets and collections!!
The day before the government of Northeast China announced its dissolution, the troops in Northeast China withdrew from the west bank of the Liao River, and the Wehrmacht immediately drove its troops to the west bank of the Liao River and stationed them. The agreement between the Northeast government and the Huaxia government was to dissolve the Northeast government, but to appoint them as governors, and the governors could hold the power of the whole province, and the three provinces were only nominally subordinate to the orders of the central government.
Zhang Zuolin had already confronted Japan, so he did not hesitate to take refuge in the Huaxia government, although Qin Yu did not know whether Zhang Zuolin really took refuge in himself, but still sent people to help him build a stronger army, and promised to give him weapons support. Qin Yu also has his own purpose for enhancing Zhang Zuolin's strength, whether it is for Japan in the future or for maintaining Zhang Zuolin's status in the Northeast. After Xu Lanzhou went back, he went directly to the Russians, and he had no backstage to find the closest Tsarist Russia, otherwise he would have no sense of security.
The dissolution of the government in the northeast has jubilated the whole country, and China has now been basically unified except for the territory occupied by the foreign powers, which is a shocking news, since the outbreak of the Wuchang Revolution, all parts of the country have become independent, which has isolated various regions of China, and now the situation of reunification has finally been restored.
The matter of the Northeast Government was resolved, and Qin Yu began to prepare to go north, and Qin Yu had already asked people to prepare when discussing the national capital before. But there are still a lot of things to be done now, such as the martyrs' cemetery and monument in Nanjing must be solved, these two Qin Yu want to keep them in Nanjing, and then set up another martyr's cemetery and monument in Beijing, after all, it is not easy to move the burial, which is also disrespectful to the martyrs.
On January 3, 1913, the Chinese government officially announced that it would move to Beijing before the 10th, and also said that the martyrs' cemetery and monument in Nanjing would not be moved, and the government would build a new martyrs' cemetery and national monument in Beijing, and the names of the martyrs on the Nanjing monument would be engraved again on the monument in Beijing.
If Qin Yu wants to go to Beijing, then the entire Qin family will also move there, although it has been prepared before, but it is also very difficult to really move, after all, the Qin family's family business is only a star. As for the personnel of the Huaxia government, they are also packing up their things and preparing to go north, and there are quite a few Huaxia officials who are dragging their families and children, plus the government's things, so they are also very busy.
After the Huaxia government announced its move to the north, the Huaxia officials in Beijing were also constantly busy, and according to Qin Yu's arrangement, the Huaxia central government would be placed in the former Yuan Shikai's presidential palace, which was later known as Zhongnanhai.
Zhongnanhai is the combined name of Zhonghai and Nanhai, located on the west side of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and together with Beihai, it constitutes the Xiyuan Sanhai, also known as Taiye Pool. Xiyuan Sanhai was once a royal garden with a long history in China, among them, the Zhonghai that was opened up in the Liaojin Dynasty and the South China Sea built in the Ming Dynasty were listed as the forbidden garden for the royal family since the Qing Dynasty, and when the Kangxi Emperor, some government affairs were handled in the palace garden, and Zhongnanhai immediately became the political center of the Qing Dynasty. After the abdication of the Qing Emperor in 1912, Zhongnanhai became the presidential palace of the Beiyang government, where Yuan Shikai rested and worked, and also where the high-level officials of the Beiyang government gathered.
Qin Yu is very interested in Zhongnanhai, in his previous life, Zhongnanhai was an admirable existence for him, except for high-level officials of the government, basically no one knows what is going on inside, because it is regarded as a symbol of the high-level Chinese government, not open to the public, and the surroundings are strictly guarded. As soon as he talked about Beijing, Qin Yu thought of Zhongnanhai, so he wanted to get the high-level Chinese government in this world to Zhongnanhai, and as for the Forbidden City, it would be left to future generations to enjoy.
Now Yuan Shikai has moved out of Zhongnanhai, which is under martial law by the soldiers of the National Defense Army, and a large number of staff are busy inside, they have to be divided according to the region, and then let various departments of the Huaxia government station.
For the northward relocation of the Huaxia government, the Manchus in Beijing were very frightened, they were afraid that the Huaxia government would be unfavorable to them after they arrived in Beijing, and many Manchus moved to Beijing because of this, which also made Qin Yu very satisfied.
In September 1898, the British and German capital groups, behind the back of the Qing government, held a meeting in London and decided to undertake the Tianjin-Zhenjiang Railway (Tianjin to Nanjing-Zhenjiang) without authorization. The Qing government succumbed to imperialist pressure and signed a loan contract in May 1899 and in 1908, and changed the Jinzhen Railway to the Jinpu Railway. The total length of the Jinpu Railway is 1009 kilometers. The northern section is 626 kilometers long from the junction of the two roads south of the Tianjin terminal of the Jingfeng Railway to Hanzhuang, Shandong; The southern section is 383 kilometers long from Hanzhuang to Pukou Railway Station. Construction began in July 1908 and January 1909 respectively, and was connected in September 1911.
Nanjing Pukou Railway Station, in order to cooperate with the Huaxia government's northward relocation of the railway station directly refused ordinary guests to transport materials and personnel for the Huaxia government, a large number of police and soldiers surrounded the entire railway station, after all, the Huaxia government's things are not allowed to flow out, especially those confidential documents.
For the sake of safety, Qin Yu asked those scientific researchers to secretly move north in two parts, one part by train, and the rest by boat, which was protected by the navy. As for him and his family, they went by train, and the whole train was guarded by soldiers and guards, and before their train departed, all the soldiers near the train tracks would go to check if there were any suspicious people nearby, and also check over and over again for dangerous items on the railway, and everyone would not open until they were sure that there were none.
It is not an exaggeration for the Huaxia government to do this, now Qin Yu's safety is related to the future of the entire Huaxia, once Qin Yu has an accident, then Huaxia is likely to fall into turmoil again, coupled with the blind worship of Qin Yu by the Huaxia government, so this is also reasonable.
On January 7, 1913, Qin Yu arrived at the Tianjin main station, the entire station was under martial law, rows of soldiers loaded guns to protect the railway station, and more than a dozen cars were waiting for them at the gate of the main station. After Qin Yu came out, he took his family to get into the car without saying a word, Qin Yu and Chen Fu, who was handling political affairs in Beijing, had a car, and the two children were in a car with Erin and Mrs. Qin, and the remaining housekeepers and other core figures of the Qin family gradually got into the car.
"How are the preparations going here in Beijing now, and are there any major problems?" After Qin Yu got in the car, he asked Chen Fu.
"There is nothing to do, now there are 50,000 soldiers stationed near Beijing, the police who were originally in Nanjing and the police in Beijing are ready, and the seizure of weapons in Beijing has basically been completed, so please rest assured that the chairman."
After Qin Yu decided to move north, he asked people to confiscate weapons in Beijing, and he did not allow the people of Beijing to have guns and other weapons, after all, the government personnel were all in Beijing in the future, and there were many Manchu diehards, and he did not want any officials in Beijing to be assassinated.
"Well, well done, recently the government moved to Beijing, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, wait a minute, you will have people transfer 20,000 soldiers from 50,000 to the city to maintain order, and anyone who takes advantage of the opportunity to make trouble will be shot and killed, whether it is a ruffian hooligan or those Manchu princes and ministers, I will kill them." Qin Yu said fiercely, he hates that some people take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and not killing is not enough to vent his anger.
Chen Fu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement, in his opinion, those who fish in troubled waters are the most hateful, whether they are killed, they can suppress those diehard elements of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The vehicle drove slowly towards Beijing, and four hours later, Qin Yu and his party finally arrived outside Beijing, Qin Yu looked at the towering city wall, mottled traces, the breath of history was very obvious, and a sense of pride rose. In his previous life, he also lived in Beijing for a few years, but it was the renovated city wall that could not see any historical vicissitudes, and the breath was not as strong as in front of him, which made him enjoy it very much, this is Beijing a hundred years ago, how beautiful and spectacular, this is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation.
At this time, the front gate of Beijing, that is, Zhengyang Gate, was full of people, and their hands were waving the temporary flag of the Chinese government, which evolved from the flag of the East China government and was the temporary symbol of the Chinese government. At the front are some students shaking around with flower baskets, and in the back are banners held by the public, which read, "Long live China!" Long live Chairman Qin! "Warm welcome to the Chairman! Long live the chairman! "Long live Beijing! The rise of China! and so on.
They cheered as the vehicle appeared in front of them, and it was a hard work for the policemen and soldiers who had worked hard to maintain order, and they had resisted the pressure of the people, and these policemen and soldiers had formed two human walls hand in hand.
The vehicle got closer and closer, and soon arrived in front of Zhengyang Gate, at this time the people's cries became louder, and the chaotic voices slowly converged into one, and gradually the voices became louder and louder, and the people shouted hoarsely, "Long live Huaxia!" Long live the chairman! ”。 Beijing can continue to be the national capital, and the pride of the people of Beijing at this time is also what they desire in their hearts, after all, they have been the people of the imperial capital for half their lives. The people at the scene were very crazy and shouted desperately, this is a voice from the hearts of the people rather than contrived, so Qin Yu and the others in the car were extremely moved, and Qin Yu's two children did not cry noisily under such a loud voice, but kept laughing and chattering as if they were saying something.
The vehicle slowed down when it entered Zhengyang Gate, and the soldiers who had been prepared next to him immediately ran to follow the car, Qin Yu opened the roof cover and stretched out his upper body to wave to the people on both sides of the road, and Erin behind also waved to the people like Qin Yu.
Seeing Qin Yu and Erin's waving, the people were even more crazy, and some even wanted to pass through the intercepted police and soldiers to hug Qin Yu, but were stopped by the soldiers. As for Erin, she also signaled to the public that Qin Yu asked her to do it, since she had to be known by the people as his wife, she would be able to get more people to recognize her.
Qin Yu kept signaling to the people on the side of the road along the way, although many people had seen Qin Yu's photos in the newspaper before, but it was the first time to see a real person, and sure enough, it was Sai Ruo Pan'an, many of the women present were obsessed with Qin Yu, as for Erin, she also increased the people's good impression of her with her beautiful appearance, and in the hearts of many people, the chairman and the chairman's wife are really a good match, they are so outstanding.
Qin Yu and his entourage soon arrived in Zhongnanhai, and Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived here, he first went to settle down his residence, and then went to tidy up his things and rest, what is there to talk about tomorrow, after a day's journey, plus the wave just now was already very tired.
