On the morning of March 5, Daming still did not receive a call back from the Beijing coup group. But on the contrary, Daming's own Beijing intelligence lines began to work one by one. Overnight, several spies had already sent secret telegrams from Beijing, all of which confirmed from the side that a coup d'état had taken place in Beijing, and that the coup d'état had been very successful so far. Moreover, these spies belong to different intelligence networks.

Therefore, although they have not yet received a direct telegram from Mu Hu and Prince Gong, the atmosphere at the top of Nanjing is completely different. Whether it is Zhu Yourong himself, or the cabinet, the royal family, and the headquarters, they are almost all immersed in the joy of "winning the war and recovering the old capital". Everyone thinks Beijing has arrived. Even Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shishige Gege, although they are uneasy that they have not received contact from the coup group so far, they do not doubt that the coup d'état has succeeded and the next step is to enter Beijing, and their joy is far greater than their worries.

The Ming Empire Palace Secretariat, although it has an inconspicuous name - "Secretariat", is an institution that oversees the internal affairs of the court. It is equivalent to the internal affairs office of the Qing Dynasty. Its predecessor was the famous celebrant of ceremonies. After the Ming Restoration in the middle of the 19th century, the eunuch system was abolished, the ceremonial supervisor was abolished, and it was renamed the ancient name "secretary and supervisor", and the number and power were greatly reduced. However, there is still the problem of excessive power of the secretary and superintendent. In the twentieth century, the Secretarial Inspectorate was further simplified and became the current Secretariat. The current secretary of the secretariat is Wei Zijin.

Right now, the whole Secretariat is busy. March 18 is Zhu Yourong's birthday, and Zhu Yourong said that he hopes to spend his 23rd birthday in the Forbidden City in Beijing. It's the 5th now, and there are only 13 days left even today. Although everyone knows that the Ming army stationed in Beijing was only a matter of these two days, Her Majesty the Empress made a northern tour, which was a major event after all. Even if you start preparing now, 13 days is stressful enough.

In the secretariat's study, there is a large map of Beijing on the bookcase, and several female officials are studying it around the map, talking and laughing. Wei Zijin sat in a circle chair covered with otter skins, roasting a brazier, drinking hot tea, and listening to their discussion.

"The troops entering the city will go through the Desheng Gate," a female official said, pointing to the map, "taking the homonym of 'victory' can show that my king is in the north of the Central Plains and exterminated the Qing captives." ”

"No, no," the other female officer shook her head, "the troops went out to the Desheng Gate in order to seek a good fortune of 'winning the flag'." We are the king's division, and now we are back in the old capital, and we are considered to be victorious teachers, and we should enter the city from Andingmen. ”

Another female officer agreed, pointing to the map all the way and said:

"Yes, you should still go to Andingmen, in ancient times, after the king went out to fight, the class returned to the court, and they all went to Andingmen. Besides, after entering the city from Andingmen, first take Andingmen Inner Street, and then go straight to the south, all the way to Wangfujing Street, and directly enter Chang'an Street. Then go all the way to Chang'an Avenue to the west, that is, Taimiao, Tiananmen, Nanhai, then go north to Xuanwumen Inner Street, all the way to the north, take Xishiku Street, Deshengmen Inner Street, and finally go out of the city from Deshengmen. In this way, go around the city of Beijing, and finally you can go out of the city with the color of 'Desheng Gate', there is nothing better than this. ”

Wei Zijin listened to their chirping arguments, holding the hot bowl, narrowing his eyes and smiling.

…… Finally victorious. In the past year, the entire Ming Empire was tense and busy, but his palace secretariat was very idle. But that will not be the case in the year ahead. At the end of the war, the Ming Empire will resume leisure and happiness, and its own palace secretariat will be busy. There must be several royal marriages alone, in addition to marrying the princess and the empress to Xiang Xiaoqiang, the Zhu and Zheng families also have several young ladies who are about to get married or leave the cabinet. During the war, many major marriages were suppressed. Now, in the first year after the end of the war, there will certainly be joyous events. And these are indispensable to the operation of the palace secretariat.

What's more, there is also their own happiness...... Wei Zijin believes in Xiang Xiaoqiang's "credit" and knows that once he and His Majesty contribute to the good things, then the good things for himself and Wu Yanbin will follow.

Not to mention the inside of the Ming Empire, a big debate has now begun to brew faintly - whether to move the capital to Beijing.

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang of Xuzhou constantly arranged the troops around Beijing, transferred all the units with heavy losses to the rear, and then transferred the troops with strict military appearance, strict military discipline, complete vehicles, and sufficient fuel to the front. In this way, the People's Guards on the front line can march outside Beijing within a few hours at the sound of an order.

At the same time, more new leaflets were also used with propaganda bombs to hit the positions of the Eighth Banner Army. The latest batch of new leaflets, printed overnight at the front, showed that the Beijing Praetorian Guard had overthrown Emperor Guangwu and was ready to welcome the Ming army into the city. Don't stand in the middle, brothers of your Eight Banners.

During this night, leaflets from the Ming army and telegrams from Mu Hu continued to reach the Eight Banners Army around Beijing. The two confirmations that the commanders of the Eight Banners Legion no longer doubted it. At present, discipline has also been generally relaxed on the positions of the Eighth Banner Army on all fronts. The soldiers picked up the leaflets, and no one cared about them. From officers to soldiers, they all know that there is going to be a change of dynasty, and they don't think about fighting anymore. However, the account of Guangwu's whereabouts is different, Mu Hu's statement is "The emperor has run away, let them garrison on the spot", while the Ming army's leaflet says "Guangwu has been overthrown, let them surrender quickly". This is mainly due to the fact that Nanjing has not received a response from the coup clique in Beijing, and the information is not smooth. However, the effect on the Eight Banners Army is almost the same.

In Nanjing, Fourteen Gege kept in touch with the Beijing coup group. Prince Gong has no radio on his side, so he can only contact Mu Hu. But every telegram was lost. Now, Fourteen Gege can only guess what happened to Mu Hu's radio station dedicated to contacting Nanjing. Either it was ruined, or it didn't turn on at all, and it was still stuffed in a hidden place, and now it's so busy that it's forgotten for a while.

But when you think about it, it's far-fetched enough. Mu Hu is not a fool, he should know that after the coup is successful, the most important thing is to contact Nanjing and obtain the support of the Ming army. Otherwise, if you only control Beijing, it will be easy to be counterattacked by Guangwu.

Unless...... Guangwu has already been killed by him, so he is so fearless.

Information about the coup d'état, one by one, flew back from Beijing. It's all from Daming's own intelligence network. The situation in Beijing, the details of the coup, are also stitched together little by little in the office of 14 grids.

……

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the afternoon that a crucial piece of information came back.

The accompanying officials on the Guangwu special train were not released until this morning, and they returned home on 6 June. But like other officials, they are locked up in their homes and not allowed to go out. Among them was an official, and his butler was turned into a spy by Da Ming. As soon as this official returned home, he shouted and said, the Qing Dynasty is over, the emperor has run away, and the dynasty is going to be changed, so quickly bury all the valuable treasures in the family, prepare the deposit bills and everything, and as soon as martial law is lifted, immediately go to the bank to withdraw cash, and then go to the silver building to buy real money......

So, in the morning, the housekeeper took the opportunity to go out to buy food and connected with one of the uplines of the intelligence network. When he returned home, he took out the radio and brought the information back to Nanjing.

After reading the information, Fourteen Gege immediately became angry, slapped the table and drank:

"Bastard Muhu! Guangwu ran away at dusk yesterday, and you still don't tell us! For such a long time, he's going anywhere! ”

Her "top boss", standing aside with a stomachache, said cautiously:

"Her Royal Highness Princess...... What do we do now? I think it's better to inform the cabinet and take diplomatic action as soon as possible......"

"Diplomatic action?" Fourteen Gege's eyes were on fire, and he turned his face, "Do you know where he ran to?" ”

With a stomachache and a smile, he counted with his fingers:

"Do you need to ask? Apparently the Soviet Union. You see, he took a plane, and even if the flight range was calculated according to more than 2,000 kilometers, at most it would fly to the Soviet Union, Japan, Burma, India**, and the Philippines. Japan certainly not, the two sides are now enemy countries. Burma is British, India** is French, the Philippines is American, and Britain, France, and the United States are unlikely to take him in. He only has one place to go, and that is the Soviet Union. During the Northern Expedition, there were few countries in the world that spoke to the Northern Qing Dynasty, and the largest of them was the Soviet Union. ”

Fourteen Gege's anger subsided a little, and now he calmed down a little, and nodded:

"Makes sense. Moreover, it should be noted that we also signed a secret treaty with the Soviet Union, promising to cede southern Xinjiang to it...... If the Soviet Union had Guangwu in its hands, it would have a higher legitimacy to absorb the land in the northwest in the future. ”

"Hehe, Your Highness."

But Fourteen Gege was still furious. In the entire Qing Empire, the one she hated the most was Guangwu. Guangwu killed her entire family. During the Northern Expedition, Fourteen Gege often dreamed that he captured Guangwu alive, and then personally took the dagger to his stomach. And now? Guangwu ran away. If he really ran to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet government planned to protect him, then with the security level of the Soviet Union, Daming would never touch a single hair of Guangwu. In his lifetime, he could only watch Guangwu, as an "old friend of the Soviet people", eat and drink spicy food in Moscow, and die a few decades later.

"Mu Hu ......" Fourteen Gege gritted his teeth and said gloomily, "With this one alone, you will die." ”

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Hu held an "international press conference" in Beijing. Unlike Nanjing, there are very few foreign correspondents in Beijing, just resident correspondents in embassies and consulates of various countries. And with the recent war looming over Beijing, most of the country's diplomatic missions have withdrawn. Now, Mu Hu's "international press conference" has recruited the remaining dozens of foreign journalists.
