Yuan Shikai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time, he really didn't expect that Ren Chao would be so bold and reckless, and he directly waved his troops to break through the city of Beijing, not only holding Emperor Guangxu hostage, but also killing the Empress Dowager Cixi directly. Now that the Tiger Ben army is pressing the border, Ren Chao in Beijing has sent telegrams one after another, but the content is similar, just urging him to quickly disarm and surrender.

"My lord, it's not good, the Tiger Ben Army suddenly launched an attack, and our army couldn't resist it at all, and suffered heavy losses." At this time, an officer ran in and said loudly.

Yuan Shikai's face was as pale as earth when he heard this, and he sat down on the chair for a long time before he spoke, "Immediately send an order to all departments, you must block the attack of the Tiger Ben Army for me, and block the attack of the Tiger Ben Army at any cost!" Yuan Shikai shouted hoarsely.

"Yes!"

"Wait!" The officer was just about to turn around and go out, but Yuan Shikai stopped him again, "Immediately send a telegram to Beijing, saying that our new army absolutely supports the reform and reform of the law, the new policy, and the upcoming cabinet." It's just that Weichen is shallow and incompetent, so he asks the imperial court to choose another virtuous man, and begs Weichen to lead the new army to continue to stay in Tianjin. Yuan Shikai naturally will not hand over the command of the new army lightly, in troubled times, only the army in his hands is the bargaining chip for his future life, not to mention that this new army is Yuan Shikai's hard work to train out, just let him give it to others, how can he Yuan Shikai be willing.

"Humph!" After Ren Chao received Yuan Shikai's call back, he couldn't help but snort coldly, "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch, isn't this Yuan Shikai still unable to see clearly?" Immediately call Yuan Shikai back, and within 24 hours, he should immediately surrender to the Tiger Ben Army, otherwise he will be dealt with as a rebel. At the same time, he ordered Meng Yan to intensify the offensive and force Yuan Shikai to surrender. ”

After Yuan Shikai received a call back from Ren Chao. At this time, he got information that the Tiger Ben Army had another 10,000 troops advancing in the direction of Tianjin, and Yuan Shikai was completely desperate. In the face of the increasingly fierce offensive of the Tiger Ben Army, Yuan Shikai finally succumbed to Ren Chao's obscenity.

Yuan Shikai was worried that after the reformists came to power in the future, the matter of his whistleblowing to Rong Lu would be leaked, and the reformists would find him to settle accounts, so he sent troops to directly capture the Yamen of the governor of Zhili and killed Rong Lu, the governor of Zhili, so that even if the matter of his whistleblowing was leaked in the future. Killing Rong Lu with his own hands can be regarded as making up for it.

After Yuan Shikai slaughtered Rong Lu, he immediately took control of the entire city of Tianjin, and then Kaicheng surrendered to the Huben army. The Tiger Ben Army successfully took over the city of Tianjin,

After Ren Chao received the news, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered the Second Division of the Huben Army to disarm all the newly built army owners, arrest all officers above the battalion level, and escort them to Beijing together with Yuan Shikai. Subsequently, it was ordered that all the personnel of the new army will be created. All the establishments were disrupted and incorporated into the divisions of the Tiger Army.

Before the coup, the Tiger Army had three divisions and three separate brigades. After Ren Chao captured Beijing, in order to cope with the next shape. Ren Chao directly summoned 25,000 elite soldiers through the guò system, of which 15,000 were formed into the Fourth Infantry Division, and the other 10,000 were reorganized into an independent division with the original Jinan Garrison Brigade. In addition, about 30,000 militiamen in Shandong were reorganized into the Fifth Division. Sixth Division. After successfully eating Yuan Shikai's newly built army, it was dispersed and placed in various divisions, and the soldiers in each division who exceeded the establishment were unified and reorganized into the seventh division. In this way, Ren Chao had the strength of eight divisions and two brigades. Among them, the Ryukyu Independent Brigade was stationed after the Ryukyus. The Korean Independence Brigade has been repatriated. At the same time, he also brought 15,000 new Korean troops, so that in the country alone, Ren Chao had 140,000 troops in his hands.

At the same time, after Ren Chao captured Beijing and Tianjin, he captured tens of thousands of Qing troops. Those units that are old, weak, sick and disabled, and have little combat effectiveness will naturally be disbanded directly, and all personnel will be dismissed. As for those young and strong, who can be transformed, but who can't be transformed, Ren Chao plans to send them all to various mines in Shandong to work as coolies.

"The commander of Qiqi, the general of Shengjing, the general of Yiketanga, and the general of Heilongjiang, Enze, united dozens of border generals from all over the country to issue a telegram, accusing the marshal, holding the emperor hostage, and killing the queen mother. openly rebelled, threatening to send troops to King Qinjing and kill traitorous ministers. Dozens of generals from all over the country, including Rehe Dutong and General Jilin, expressed their response. A Tiger Army officer read aloud with a telegram in his hand.

"I knew that the first to sit still must be these royal nobles and these Manchurians, and immediately ordered the Fourth Division to advance in the direction of Rehe, and the First Division to the north into Shanhaiguan. The Fifth Division occupied Xingtai, Baoding, Langfang and other places. Also, don't forget to let the emperor issue a holy decree and send troops to quell the rebellion! Dare to scold Lao Tzu for being a chaotic minister and thief, you are the real chaotic thief! Ren Chao commanded casually. The current situation is still within the controllable range, so Ren Chao's mood is still very good. Coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Ren Chao has the trump card of Emperor Guangxu in his hand, and some people dare not act rashly even if they think that Ren Chao is a chaotic minister and thief.

"Yes! The last general will do it right away. The officer answered, turned and walked out.

At this time, another officer continued, "Li Hongzhang, the governor of Liangguang, Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, and more than a dozen governors from all over the country, secretly formed an alliance to openly resist the new policy of the imperial court. ”

"Okay, as long as these people don't openly jump out against their own officials, they can do whatever they want! When the official has his hands freed, it's not too late to slowly clean them up. Ren Chao said casually. After finishing speaking, he couldn't help frowning, "I said, can't you just say some good news?" Isn't there a piece of good news? ”

"There is good news, who says there is no good news!" At this time, Yang Jichang walked outside and walked in with a smile, "Yu Kun, the commander of the Jiaolong fleet, just sent a telegram that Ding Ruchang has already led the Beiyang Naval Division to surrender to the Jiaolong fleet?" At the same time, Song Qing, who was stationed in Lushun, had also led the Yi army of the department to surrender to Zhou Tai's department. ”

"Good! This is indeed good news, I will say, as soon as my Chief of Staff Yang comes, there must be good news, and sure enough. Ren Chao said with a laugh.

Previously, the Jiaolong fleet had blocked the mouth of Arthur and coerced and lured Ding Ruchang to surrender, but Ding Ruchang always ignored it. But then Zhou Tai led the Korean Independence Brigade and 15,000 new Korean troops from Korea to Lushun. An attack was immediately launched on Lushun, and at the same time, the Jiaolong fleet also launched a small-scale attack on the Beiyang Naval Division in Port Arthur. After a day of fierce fighting, although the Jiaolong fleet did not make any substantial progress, Zhou Tai's army defeated Song Qing's Yi army. Ding Ruchang, Song Qing and others wanted to ask Li Hongzhang for instructions, but at this time, the telegraph line had been cut off by the Tiger Ben Army, and in desperation, Ding Ruchang and Song Qing could only surrender obediently.
