Chapter 44 Zhang Xun Shangluo

On January 12, the sixth year of the Republic of China, in the waiting hall of Zhengyangmen Railway Station in Beijing, a group of well-dressed people had gathered. The railway platform also set up the painted archway to receive the official, all of which are completely based on the regulations of the former Qing Dynasty feudal ministers entering Beijing, if it is not for the five-color flag of the Republic of China fluttering everywhere in the railway station, the passengers who enter and exit the station really think that the Qing Dynasty has been restored!

"Yo, look at this posture, the big man is coming to Beijing?" Travelers who have good things to do are starting to talk about it.

"Look, look! Over there, a large number of military officers surrounded by President Li Bodhisattva! Who is so big that the president comes to greet him? Could it be that Premier Duan Qirui is coming back again? ”

"What, Duan Qirui and Li Bodhisattva are opposite, this time Li Bodhisattva used the presidential decree to oust him, and Li Bodhisattva will not come to greet him if he comes back."

"Who's that? Could it be Vice President Feng Hejian? ”

"It's not, just look at the pomp and circumstance around you, it's all the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, and there are eight sedan chairs prepared outside. Now that our Republic of China is a good one, is there a second one besides Zhang Xun and Zhang Braidshuai in Xuzhou? ”

"It turned out that he was going to enter Beijing, but he was an overseer and entered Beijing, and he didn't need the president to greet him at the train station in person, right?"

"If he goes to Beijing alone, of course he doesn't need the president to pick him up! Haven't you read the newspaper for the past two days? Zhang Braided Shuai took a whole eighteen battalions of pigtailed soldiers into Beijing City together! ”

"Eighteen battalion braided soldiers! Co-authored this master is really going to restore the Qing Dynasty! ”

"Shhhh Silence, silence, what kind of restoration, people can claim to be here to mediate the dispute between the government and the court! It was President Loei who agreed. ”

"What? Will Li Bodhisattva believe this? It seems that the national glory of the Qing Dynasty is really not finished......"

Li Bodhisattva, who was dressed in a generalissimo dress, Li Yuanhong, was guarding the grace of the "king" of a country at this time, and did not glance in the direction of the railway. Just reserved and whispered to a few of the staff around him. Of course, he will not believe that Zhang Xun will "unconditionally" support him, the president of the light pole, there is no such cheap thing in the world! But what could he do? If it weren't for Zhang Xun's support, Duan Qirui would have launched a coup d'état to overthrow him! Even if Zhang Xun entered Beijing, if he had any bad intentions, wouldn't he, the president, work for a few more days?

Besides, this pool in Beijing is so deep that even Yuan Shikai is trapped in it and can't extricate himself, can a little Zhang Xun really turn the sky upside down? Don't look at those warlords who gave him face when Zhang Xun didn't enter Beijing, but as soon as he entered the city, these sub-warlords kept their faces and didn't know who Zhang Shaoxuan was? In these years, no matter who is the central government, the local warlords will oppose whom, and this central government is a bag of anger that is not human inside and outside! If you can use the position of the president to change the overseer, Li Yuanhong will change it without saying a word.

"President, President!" Jiang Zuobin, deputy minister of the War Department and Li Yuanhong's confidant, squeezed through the crowd and walked over at this time. As soon as he saw Li Yuanhong, he said with joy on his face: "Zhang Shaoxuan's military vehicle stopped outside the Chongwen Gate, and the pigtailed troops of the eighteen battalion leaders are getting out of the car, preparing to go to the Temple of Heaven and Xiannongtan to station, and not enter Beijing City!" ”

It was said early in the morning that the main force of the pigtail soldiers would not enter Beijing City, and now seeing that Zhang Xun was finally able to abide by the agreement, a stone in Li Yuanhong's heart finally fell to the ground, and he smiled with satisfaction: "When will Zhang Shaoxuan enter the city?" There's a banquet in the presidential palace, waiting to catch him! ”

Jiang Zuobin also replied with a smile: "Soon, soon, Zhang Shaoxuan personally told me on the phone, he will come over soon after arranging it, but he has to go to the Forbidden City to meet the little emperor first when he enters the city, and I am afraid that he will not be able to go to the presidential palace for a banquet." ”

Li Yuanhong looked a little disappointed, he shook his head and said: "This Zhang Shaoxuan can't forget his old master after all, and he can be regarded as a lover, which is much better than those who are duplicitous." ”

……

Zhang Xun was sitting in his float at this time to discuss with Kang Youwei, who had secretly arrived in Beijing with him, what important things to arrange, and he was very confident in launching a coup d'état in Beijing to restore the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In his mind, the republic was not successful, and now the people are thinking about the Qing Dynasty, so as long as he starts in Beijing, there are many people who will respond, even if there is no whole world, half of the country will not be a problem.

As for whether the other half of the country will set up a separate central government, and whether China will stage a great drama of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he is not particularly concerned. Even if it becomes the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he Zhang Xun can be regarded as worthy of the imperial court and the Qing Dynasty, and whether the Qing Dynasty will destroy the Republic of China and unify the country in the future, or the Republic of China will destroy the Qing Dynasty, that is not something that needs to be worried about now.

Zhang Xun took the telegram manuscript he had prepared from Kang Youwei's hand, and after a few glances, it was all some crepe Chinese, which was strange to read, but this was written by Kang Youwei, and it should be a good article. Zhang Xun put down the telegram and said with a smile: "Mr. Nanhai, your great talent finally has a time to be brought into play. ”

Kang Youwei also smiled back at him: "Xuan Shuai, this time the Qing Dynasty can be revived, all thanks to you, the position of the governor of Beiyang Zhili seems to be none other than Xuan Shuai...... With the support of the imperial court, Xuan Shuai is the rightful head of Beiyang, and hundreds of thousands of Beiyang elites will be the head of Wei Xuan Shuai. ”

Zhang Xun doesn't know how much he's heard of this kind of sycophant recently, but when he listens to it again, he still feels comfortable all over his body. He took a sip of the teacup, and said with a light smile: "If you can restore the Qing Dynasty and repay the old empress dowager (referring to Cixi) and the emperor's kindness, Zhang is already content." As he spoke, he took out a list of court officials that had already been drawn up from the purse beside him, and handed it to Kang Youwei: "Mr. Nanhai, this is a list of court officials that Zhang has nothing to do, can you refer to it?" ”

Kang Youwei took it and took a look, and his eyebrows were slightly twisted. On this list, he Kang Youwei was named a cabinet prime minister, and most of the Beiyang civil and military bureaucrats, regardless of whether they were in favor of restoration or not, were given official titles, and even Li Yuanhong was given a first-class public ...... Zhang Xun gave himself the post of Governor General and Minister of Parliament, Governor of Zhili and Minister of Beiyang; Feng Guozhang, one of the three heroes of Beiyang, was named the governor of Liangjiang and the minister of Nanyang; Wang Shizhen, another master of the Beiyang Sanjie, was given a minister of parliament and a minister of staff. But Duan Qirui, who is also the three heroes of Beiyang, does not have an official position! The whole thing is a white ding!

"Dashuai, you seem to have missed someone." Kang Youwei returned the list to Zhang Xun and reminded in a low voice.

"Duan Zhiquan, right?" Zhang Xun looked contemptuous and waved his hand: "A prime minister who has gone into the wilderness, whether he has his own army or not, don't be busy arranging it first." ”

Kang Youwei still felt that it was inappropriate, and just wanted to persuade him again, he heard the sound of a report outside the door, it was Bai Baoshan and a few generals of the Braided Army who came to Zhang Xun to receive the opportunity. Kang Youwei had no choice but to get up and retire. Zhang Xun didn't keep it, but just arched his hand at him, even if he left.

"Marshal, except for your guard battalion, the seventeen battalion leaders have already gotten off the train and are forming their teams." As soon as Bai Baoshan came in, he made a thousand salutes of the Qing Dynasty, and then reported.

Zhang Xun smiled and motioned for him to sit down: "Do the troops on this side of Beijing City have any reaction?" Jiang Chaozong's infantry army commanded the yamen, and Li Jincai's 13th division was still stable, right? ”

"It's all safe, Jiang Chaozong's infantry army is all honestly maintaining order for the marshal in Beijing, and Li Jincai's 13th Division is also staying in the Nanyuan camp, there is nothing abnormal."

"What about the Model Regiment? Is someone spying on them? ”

Bai Baoshan still smiled: "The model regiment is now stationed in Fengtai City, and there is nothing abnormal, it's just ...... Fortifications were built outside Fengtai City, and the guards were quite tight, so I am afraid it would be difficult to attack. ”

Zhang Xun snorted: "Is that still called no abnormality?" Do you have to ask them to knock on the door to be abnormal? Come on, let Chang Ruiyuan come and speak! ”
