Since the 9th, although the various units of the rebel army have surrounded the city of Beijing, they always want to win without a fight, and try to avoid using troops in the city of Beijing. Therefore, from the 9th to the 11th, on the one hand, Wang Daxie and Liu Chongjie engaged in peace talks through the diplomatic corps, and on the other hand, Wang Shizhen was urged to run from it, but Zhang Xun's attitude was very tenacious, and he insisted on disarming himself, and he must bring his pigtails back to Xuzhou.

Since there was no hope for a peaceful solution, the rebel army decided to attack the city, and Wang Daxie and Liu Chongjie approached the diplomatic corps to discuss the siege plan. The diplomatic corps still pushed the Minister of the Leader (the Dutch Minister) to reply to the rebel army, agreeing that the siege time would be limited to 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the 12th, and that only one round of live ammunition would be issued from artillery, and the rest would threaten the Braided Army with air artillery to surrender.

The rebel army then decided on the battle plan on the evening of the 11th, attacking Chaoyangmen with the 12th Division, and after entering the city, it continued to attack Zhangzhai along the Nanhe River. The 8th and 11th Divisions attacked the Temple of Heaven from Yongding Gate and Guang'an Gate, and the 3rd Division attacked the Temple of Heaven and Zhonghua Gate from Zhangyi Gate; The 13th Division and the 3rd Mixed Brigade of Zhili entered the city from Deshengmen and Xizhimen to control the situation in Beicheng.

The battle was launched at dawn on the 12th, and the 8th and 11th divisions jointly attacked the main force of the Braided Army of the Temple of Heaven, and the Braided Army guarding the Temple of Heaven was about 2,000 people. A small part of the pigtail army that refused to surrender retreated to Zhang's house in Nanchizi.

Everything went smoothly in the whole offensive, the main reason was that the pigtail army completely lost its fighting spirit, the rebel army attacked the Dongdan archway and Dong'an market in the east by Chaoyangmen, and the west route went north to Xihuamen from Xuanwumen, and the remnants of the pigtail army were forced to concentrate in a corner of Nanchizi. The rebel army that occupied Xuanhuamen erected cannons on the city tower, and the muzzles of the cannons were aimed at the Forbidden City and Zhang's house along the South River.

At this time, news came from the Xuzhou nest of the pigtail army, Zhang Xun's first general, Zhang Wensheng, who stayed in Xuzhou, led the 64th battalion of the Dingwu Army to surrender without a fight, which made the pigtail army in Beijing even more desperate.

The cannon of Xuanwumen fired a cannon at noon on the 12th, punching a big hole in the wall of Zhang's house along the Nanhe River, and causing a violent noise and a fire. The pigtailed soldiers guarding the "Dashuai Mansion" abandoned their weapons and cut their braids one after another, and at this moment of chaos, the tired and angry "Zhang Dashuai" was taken into a car by two Dutchmen and galloped into the Dutch Legation. What is left in the city of Beijing is the braids that can be seen all over the streets, because when the braided soldiers fled, they had to cut off the braids to be safe.

In the past few days, braids represent passes and physical evidence, represent privileges, like a spiritual talisman, you can ride without a ticket, you don't need to go to the theater, you don't need to pay for things, you don't need to pay for things, and it seems that you should be very suitable for flirting with women, but now you have braids to suffer, so braids are abandoned in the streets and alleys without nostalgia.

This was the second battle of the rebel army (the third brigade had not yet joined the rebel army during the Shahe War), and it was also the last battle, the pigtail army had no more than 100 casualties in total, and the others fled, and the combined results of the two battles were less than half of the first battle of Shahe.

In this way, the farce of the restoration, which was staged for only 12 days, came to an end, and the restored Manchu court retreated to the deep palace and closed the door to be its own emperor. From 1911 to 1917, in just six years, the Huaxia Kingdom went through from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, then from the Republic of China to Hongxian, then from Hongxian to the Republic of China, and then from the Republic of China back to the Qing Dynasty.

Since the pigtail army was mainly concentrated in the south city, the third mixed brigade that entered the city from Desheng Gate almost did not encounter a single pigtail army at the beginning, and it was not until the afternoon that the pigtail army broke up and some of them broke up to the north city, so that the third mixed brigade advancing to the south was arrested, and naturally it was ruthlessly locked up, and those who dared to resist directly "suddenly" fell.

Entering the city without a battle made the 3rd Mixed Brigade, which had already been gearing up, feel like a punch on cotton. Brigade Commander Tang didn't bother to go to Nancheng to grab those small credits, but he didn't take the opportunity to get a vote, and it seemed that he was a little sorry for this great opportunity, so he ordered all departments to use battalions and companies as units to carry out a search in the Beicheng area in the name of clearing out the remnants of the Braided Army.

"Brigade commander, is it so cheap for the small Manchu court?" Looking at Xu Yongchang, chief of staff of the Forbidden City not far away, he said indignantly: "The biggest bane of this restoration is them!" ”

"Cichen, I'm in the same mood as you!" Tang Zhidao smiled helplessly: "It's just that our strength is too weak at the moment, and we still can't do such a thing!" ”

Driving away the small court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and robbing the Forbidden City, such good things as fame and profit, naturally not everyone did, and it was not until Feng Christ gained power that the small court was driven out of the Forbidden City.

"I understand what the brigade commander means, but I'm just a little angry." Xu Yongchang muttered: "It's no wonder that the revolution back then was not thorough enough, which led to the current situation of one country, two systems!" ”

"It's not entirely like this, since the Republic of China, the life of the Chinese people has not only not changed for the better because of turning over to be the master, but it has deteriorated, which has led to the existence of the market for the imperial system and the Manchu Qing Dynasty." Brigade Commander Tang said with emotion: "The rumor that the Republic of China is inferior to the Qing Dynasty is not entirely made up by the restorationists!" ”

"Brigade commander, just now the first battalion of the second regiment caught a few policemen taking advantage of the chaos to rob merchants." As he spoke, Zhou Wenruo walked over quickly and said in a low voice: "The Jingshi Police Department has come to ask for someone, and Commander Zhang asks for instructions on how to deal with it." ”

"Shoot them all!" Tang Zhidao said impatiently: "The voyage is also true, and I have to ask for instructions on this little thing!" ”

"Brigade commander, I'm afraid it's not okay!" Xu Yongchang hesitated for a moment and said: "We will shoot if we catch it, and it is not easy for others to say anything, but now that the police department has just come to ask for someone, we will shoot it, it seems to be ......."

"Then hand them over to the police department and let them go back to discipline themselves!" When Tang Zhidao heard that this was really the case, he changed his words and said. The police force of more than 20,000 people in the Jingshi Police Department can't fall into the eyes of Brigade Commander Tang, but Wu Bingxiang, the director of the Police Department, is a local snake and has a very iron relationship with Lao Duan, so he can't deliberately slap him in the face.

"Brigade Commander, if you put it back, I'm afraid it's ...... over there in the Police Department" Brigade Commander Tang's thinking turned so quickly, Zhou Wenruo didn't understand the deep meaning for a while, for fear that Brigade Commander Tang didn't know what the Jingshi Police Department was and reminded in a low voice.

"Don't take it as an example, inform all departments that they don't need to ask for instructions if they encounter robbery while they are fired, and they will be shot on the spot!" Brigade Commander Tang waved his hand and said, either be a wicked person or a good person, since you don't want to offend Wu Bingxiang, let's be a favor, let it go and don't kill it, but it is the best strategy. As for taking advantage of the fire to rob, at present, only Brigade Commander Tang can do it himself in the Beicheng area, and others will naturally have to die if they want to share the pie.

"Okay." Zhou Wenruo didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly conveyed the latest instructions of Brigade Commander Tang. There are by no means a small number of ruffians, hooligans, routs, and even policemen and soldiers who take advantage of the fire to loot, and if they are not suppressed with an iron fist, the losses caused may be greater than the harm caused by the restoration itself.

"But after all, the democratic republic is the trend of the times, and the defeat of this restoration so quickly is proof of this!" Xu Yongchang nodded and shook his head unwillingly, as a witness of the revolution, Xu Yongchang has very complicated feelings about the current situation in the Republic of China.

"The Republic of China Empire cannot be generalized, at least for the time being, we can only go on the road of the Republic of China." Tang Zhidao didn't want to discuss this topic with Xu Yongchang, because even if he fought for three days and three nights, there might not be results. In a word, it is easy to cut off the braids on the head, but it is difficult to cut off the braids on the heart.

However, at present, it is difficult to find people who naively think that the democratic republic will be peaceful in the world. Even Zhongshan Qiao, known as the "father of the nation", gave up the so-called democracy within the party and let party members swear allegiance to him personally, as for the Beiyang gang, they didn't know what "republic" and "democracy" were, and they supported the Republic of China purely to gain greater power. If our brigade commander Tang hadn't known that Zhang Dashuai's rabbit tail couldn't grow, he wouldn't have jumped out early to grab the titles of these "anti-imperialist pioneers" and "republican defenders", and he would definitely hide in Koubei and farm in a proper manner.

"Brigade commander, the people in the capital have been contacted!" Xu Yongchang seemed to want to discuss this topic with Brigadier Tang again, but Ding Yunong, the new director of the Intelligence Department, trotted over, and he had no choice but to walk away.

This Ding Yunong is thin and dark-skinned, extremely inconspicuous, but he was the captain of the detective team of the Koubei Provincial Police Department, a well-known detective in Koubei, and has cracked several major cases since the Republic of China, and has a certain reputation in Koubei and Chahar's generation. When the Intelligence Division was established, Brigade Commander Tang personally recruited him, first as the chief of the Operations Section of the Intelligence Division, and later as the deputy director of the Intelligence Division. After several months of overt and covert investigation, Ding Yunong had no problem with both ability and loyalty, so Brigade Commander Tang decided to make him the head of the Intelligence Department.

Brigade Commander Tang has too many things on hand, in addition to the brigade commander, he is also the captain of the teaching team and the commander of a regiment, and it is not a way to hold such an important position as the director of the intelligence department. Of course, the appointment of Ding Yunong as the director of the intelligence department does not mean that he has complete trust in him, and according to Brigade Commander Tang's consistent principle of "employing people must be suspicious, and suspects should also be used", there are still many relevant arrangements.

"How about it, let's get all the information we want!" Seeing that there was no one around, Brigade Commander Tang asked in a low voice, "If you miss tonight, you won't have a chance!" ”

Today, the pigtail army fled in all directions, and the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods inside and outside the city also took the opportunity to make trouble, and any problems could be pushed on them, and tomorrow the situation will be settled, and all the departments that may enter the city will retreat outside the city.

"It's all here, including the detailed location, the general family property, the store, the people and even the social relations!" Ding Yunong excitedly took out a note and handed it over and said, he didn't expect that the intelligence officers inserted by Tang Brigade An in the capital were so powerful, and the information he got was so detailed.

"Let's go, go to the side to discuss, you have to pick a few." Tang Zhidao looked at the dense small characters on the note and pointed to a house on the side and said, he has been laying out since the beginning of May, and is ready to take advantage of the chaos to make a profit, otherwise he will not be able to do it in a short time with his meager intelligence force in the capital.
