In a VIP waiting room at the Shenyang Railway Station, two young officers wearing Beiyang Army uniforms stood a little nervously in the spacious VIP waiting room, and their expressions looked a little nervous. Even a little cramped, they did not sit on the couch and wait for the train to arrive, but anxiously paced back and forth.

And there were several officers of the Northeast Army in this VIP waiting room, and their eyes would always follow these two people, as if they were afraid that they would run away, but these two people had no intention of running at all, and just kept asking.

"Sir, how long will it take for the marshal's special train to arrive in Shenyang, we have something important to report to the marshal!"

Walking in front of the officers of the Northeast Army, one of the majors asked a little anxiously, they have been waiting for almost two and a half hours, why haven't they seen the marshal coming, now, maybe the capital has already started, more than 13,000 officers and soldiers in the sixth town of the Beiyang Army may have now attacked the Beijing division by train.

How far has the situation gotten over there?

The most critical question is whether Tang Dashuai has already learned the news?

Questions flickered in their minds from time to time.

"The handsome train is on its way!"

The lieutenant colonel of the Northeast Army replied coldly, and then turned to the front, ignoring the two Beiyang officers who had come to visit.

"There is a revolution in Jingshi?"

The sudden news made Tang Haoran's brows furrow, and when he left Dalian, he received a telegram that there was a popular demonstration in Beijing, and at the beginning, he thought it was similar to Jiangning.

This is just the first step in the awakening of the population!

In Tang Haoran's view, all this is undoubtedly sending a signal -- the time is ripe for the Northeast Army to enter the customs, and it also means that in the next few months, the focus of the Northeast Army will turn to the country, and it is precisely for this reason that he has been thinking about a question -- how many troops should be transferred to the customs after setting out from Dalian.

At present, the strength of the Northeast Army is 2.75 million, of which 1.35 million are on the front line, and 1.4 million are organized into more than 100 supplementary regiments and nearly 2,000 supplementary battalions, and they are only used as a supplementary force for field troops, that is to say, without considering the transfer of troops from the front line, what needs to be considered is to reorganize these supplementary regiments and battalions into at least 40 mixed brigades, so as to ensure that they can maintain superiority over the most powerful Beiyang Army in Guannai, and then strive to complete the reunification of the country in the shortest possible time.

However, it is not easy to reorganize the troops, although in the past 10 years, the Northeast Army School has trained a total of nearly 40,000 officers, and among them, the usable brigade and regimental level officers have been transferred to the front line, and many regimental-level officers in the rear are temporary commissions, and they are still inexperienced.

However, considering that when attacking the Guannai, the attack was on a "local army" such as the Beiyang Army, and those officers should be able to use it, and the key problem was that the brigade-level lack of experience in coordinated operations, and how to solve this problem.

Just as Tang Haoran was thinking about such a question, when the train arrived in Anshan, another top-secret telegram changed everything - the revolution broke out!

The demonstration in Kyoshi turned into a revolution!

An armed revolution! Tens of thousands of civilians, led by young students, are attacking the Forbidden City.

"Revolutionary ......"

Talking about these two words, for some reason, Tang Haoran couldn't find any joy in his heart, different from the excitement when he saw the people awaken, he was vigilant about these two famous revelations, and when he received the demonstration, prestige, parade, and march of the Beijing Division, he was already prepared, to be precise, he prepared an "insurance" for the people in the capital - the Northeast will never sit idly by and watch any harm to the people.

In fact, there was a faint expectation in his heart -- if the Manchus opened fire on the people, then he would be able to openly send troops into the customs and naturally overthrow the rule of the Manchus, whether it was Beiyang or Huguang, and any forces that hindered the reunification of the country would be eliminated at that time.

Even a million people are worth sacrificing if necessary!

But now, the revolution in Jingshi has made Tang Haoran feel a little vigilant, what is going on? Will this revolution turn into a republican revolution?

Compared with others, this is what Tang Haoran cares about the most, he doesn't care about the outcome of the revolution, he cares about the direction of the revolution, and in the future, what will this revolution bring to China?

Will it be like another time and space, bringing the so-called "republic" to China? And this is exactly what Tang Haoran does not want to see, not only because deep down, he is eager to leave something for future generations, but also because he believes that that a hasty republic will leave too many hidden dangers for the new country, and it is precisely because of this that he does not want to be Yuan Shikai.

No, he wants to be Yuan Shikai, but he doesn't want to take that detour, everything should be very straightforward, at least there is no need to take any detours, the Northeast Army marched into the Guannei and defeated the enemy at the same time, as the commander of the Northeast Army, he became the emperor naturally, just like any of the founding kings of ancient China.

At that time, there will be many officials to persuade them, and everything will be as in history, and under the persuasion of the officials, a new dynasty will be established, and a new emperor will become the ruler of the empire, and at that time, everything will be carried out in an orderly manner as you imagined.

It's just that the development of reality has completely exceeded his expectations - a sudden revolution is being staged in Beijing, and tens of thousands of armed civilians are attacking the Forbidden City, the symbol of imperial power for thousands of years!

What are the consequences of this?

The awakening of the people suddenly took a big leap forward -- in the history of China, although there were one so-called rebels after another who pulled the emperor from power, they all used the excuse of conforming to the destiny of heaven and the excuse that they were the "true son of heaven". And now, those people who have lived under the imperial power for thousands of years are no longer afraid of the imperial power and have launched an attack on the symbol of imperial power, the Forbidden City.

Conquer the Bastille!

For no reason, this historical event immediately flashed in his mind, and in that particular period the Bastille became a symbol of the French **** dynasty. On July 14, 1789, the revolt finally stormed the Bastille. It was from that time that the "storming of the Bastille" became the signal for the national revolution. Subsequently, cities followed the example of the people of Paris, armed themselves to seize municipal administration, and established the National Guard. Soon, the Constituent Assembly, organized by the people, took power.

If they capture the Forbidden City, will it trigger a ripple effect across the country?

What was the situation in France after the "storming of the Bastille"?

Chaos and turmoil became synonymous with the Great Revolution, and in the following nearly ten years, former revolutionaries were guillotined again and again. If this happens in China...... This was by no means what he wanted to see, not to mention that the revolution was likely to lead to the collapse of the dynasty......

Just as his expression became more and more serious, a voice appeared in his ears.

"Marshal, the train has arrived at Shenyang Station, and there are two Beiyang officers from the mainland at the station. Still waiting for your reception, they have something important to report to the marshal! ”

An officer from Beiyang? Something important?

"Oh! Okay, invite them in...... No, let's meet them inside the station! ”

What the!

Enter the customs and preside over the overall situation!

A few minutes later, in the living room, in the face of the reports of the two officers, Tang Haoran was stunned, how, how could this be!

Enter the customs and preside over the overall situation!

Now the sixth town of the Beiyang Army is marching towards the Beijing Division, and they invite themselves to enter the customs to preside over the overall situation!

Why please yourself?

Could this be some kind of conspiracy?

Thoughts like this flickered in Tang Haoran's mind, although through the information he had obtained before, he knew very well that Li Hongzhang had reached the point of running out of oil, but he did not expect that when he did not die, the Beiyang Army, which he regarded as a Yin stock, would choose to betray.

I also didn't expect that just when I was trying my best to think about how to enter the customs, suddenly, the door in this gate was opened to me by its "goalkeeper...... This, how is this possible?

Just when Tang Haoran was shocked by the news, on the streets of Shenyang, tens of thousands of young students were gathering in one direction -- the railway station.

The military and police in the city seem to have turned a blind eye to this, and they are only dutifully maintaining order, these young people from a dozen colleges and universities in Shenyang, they hold high banners, and the banners are full of slogans of solidarity with the comrades in the Guannai.

In the beginning, there were only those students in the procession, but in the process of the procession, the ranks continued to grow, and the citizens continued to join them, and the ranks of tens of thousands of people became a team of more than 100,000 people, or even more than 200,000 people.

What's going on?

Why are they heading towards the train station?

Half an hour ago, some people might have had such a question, but now, when they arrived at the train station, people seemed to understand why they were here - the handsome man is here!

Half an hour later, Tang Haoran felt that he had been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people. Standing on the balcony, he swept his gaze across the crowd...... People dressed in Hanfu, suits, and uniforms of male and female students gathered in front of the train station, and there were even many officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army, as well as police and affairs officials.

People from almost all walks of life have come here, what are they doing here?

The guards who came with the train were even more nervous at this time, they commanded the military police to protect the station on the one hand, and tightly protected the handsome on the other, and the guards accompanying the train immediately set up machine guns in the railway station. At the same time, he kept calling the nearby garrison by telephone, and there was a large training base in Shenyang, where nearly 50,000 troops were stationed.

Outside the train station, in front of hundreds of thousands of people, an attendant officer pressed the wooden shell of a riverside pistol and shouted loudly.

"What are you going to do!"

A path escaped from the crowd, and a scholar in Hanfu walked up to the front and shouted:

"I have been waiting for Allah for a long time in the world, and now we will ask the marshal to ascend the throne as emperor and restore my Chinese world."

Although he was over the age of six, Liu Linxi's voice was very loud, and his words immediately attracted people's approval, and the crowd suddenly boiled again.

"Long live the Emperor of China!"

"Long live the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!"

"Please ask the emperor to ascend the throne immediately!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Who orchestrated all this?

Facing the deafening shouts, facing the cry of "Long live", suddenly Tang Haoran's heart swelled up, although he hadn't figured out what the situation was, but a term came to his mind.

"Yellow robe!"

"Please ask the emperor to ascend the throne immediately and preside over the overall situation in the Guannei!"

The two officers of the Beiyang Army knelt down at the same time, and one of the officers even held out a dragon robe with both hands, where did this dragon robe come from? Why didn't anyone notice in the previous searches? But now, no one cares about this anymore, and everyone knows what the situation is now.

"Please ask the emperor to ascend the throne immediately!"

This time, it was not only the two officers who knelt down, but also hundreds of thousands of people who were pressed by the black, and they used their shouts to convey an "irresistible" voice to Tang Haoran.

What can be said in this case?

No matter what you say, there is no end to it, no one wants to hear what Tang Haoran says at this time, people just want to lift him on the dragon chair, and then kneel down and bow to him or do something else, everything seems to be only out of enthusiasm and faith, and has nothing to do with selfish interests, let alone any conspiracy.

At least on the surface, all this was spontaneous by the people, first the awakening of the people in Jiangning, then the guns of the Beijing division shook the whole country, and now, hundreds of thousands of people with their enthusiasm and loyalty have proclaimed an emperor of China, everything is so natural that it is impossible for outsiders to even doubt it.

Perhaps, the official will be like this in the future, but Tang Haoran never believes in all this, he doesn't believe that everything is so natural, although he wants to believe it.

But he knew very well what that meant.

But now none of this matters, what matters is that now you have to say something, you have to deal with it.

"Please be quiet...... I can understand your feelings......"

"Hooray...... Banzai...... Banzai!!! ”

“…… This incident was unexpected......"

"Hooray...... Banzai...... Hooray!! ”

“…… The ...... that must be considered in the interests of the country and the people"

"Enthroned! Enthroned! Respectfully His Majesty the Emperor is invited to ascend the throne! ”

"Enthronement...... Enthronement ...... Enthronement"

The enthusiasm of hundreds of thousands of voices, and the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people, made Tang Haoran only feel that the palms of his hands were sweating slightly. Just as he hesitated, two attendants had already unfurled their dragon robes and put them on his body.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor of China!"

In an instant, the entire train station was boiling, and Liu Linxi and the others in the crowd murmured excitedly when they looked at the emperor wearing a dragon robe on the balcony.

"Chinese orthodoxy has been restored! Chinese orthodoxy is restored! ”

At this moment, it seems that everything is over, no! This moment is just a new beginning! (To be continued.) )
