"General Mu, I'm from The Washington Post. At present, the Nanjing side claims that you have carried out a coup d'état in Beijing and successfully overthrew the rule of the Qing Emperor, and that the entry of the Ming army into Beijing will be a matter of the next few days. And after the coup d'état, you put the Emperor Guardian, who was forced to abdicate at the end of 35, to the throne. May I ask General Mu, does this mean that you do not intend to surrender to the Ming army, but are prepared to let the Qing Empire continue? ”

In the "Daqing Radio," the first foreign reporter held a microphone and asked a pointed question. Several rays of magnesium light next to him also flashed directly towards Mu Hu.

Mu Hu is not used to such occasions. Like most high-ranking Manchu officials, he had never faced any "journalists", let alone so many foreign journalists at the same time. This is still the idea given to him by the former foreign minister of the Northern Qing Dynasty, saying that you are now in the center of attention of the whole world, so it is better to hold a press conference. Although Mu Hu had no experience, he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to win the support of international public opinion and show that he was very different from Guangwu.

Fortunately, this question is in preparation. Mu Hu sat in front of the broadcast microphone, cleared his throat, stabilized his breathing, faced the constantly flashing magnesium lights, smiled, and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"This gentleman, ahem, there are a few points that need to be clarified here...... I don't quite accept the word 'surrender', and I don't know where my husband heard that I was going to 'surrender' to the Ming army. As we all know, regarding the legitimacy of the Qing rule in northern China, it is not necessary to explain that the Qing side has always been controversial internationally. I'm a military man, and I don't care about issues that even politicians can't figure out. All I know is that this is my homeland. I grew up here, I love this country, I love this land, I love the people here, whether they are Han or Qiren. I carried out a coup d'état to overthrow the tyrant Guangwu, not to surrender to anyone, let alone to take advantage and want to sell this land I love to anyone. I did this for one purpose, to get rid of the dictatorship and give the people here a better life...... If anyone suspects that the purpose of my coup d'état is to sell the rest of the Qing Dynasty to anyone, then he is insulting my personality, and I cannot accept it. ”

"Mr. Washington Post," said Na Shun, the secretary of Mu Hu next to him, with a slight trembling, "Mr. Washington led you to overthrow British rule, and Britain and France were at war. Could it be that Mr. Washington is just trying to sell North America to the French? ”

The American reporter did not sit down, but kept standing, in order to show that his question was not finished, so that no one else would steal the conversation. Mu Hu's answer is certainly beautiful, but this reporter is also a veteran. He smiled slightly, and just said:

"But General, you haven't answered my question head-on. Does your elevation of Emperor Jiade to the throne mean that you want the Qing Empire to continue to exist? The nearest Ming army was only a few dozen kilometers from Beijing. They are waiting to be stationed in Beijing at any time. May I ask Your Excellency, how are you going to position your relationship with the Ming Empire next? If you can't accept the word 'surrender', which word can you accept? I look forward to your positive answer, thank you. ”

The scene was silent for a moment, and then Mu Hu smiled and said:

"To tell the truth, the Qing Dynasty is now in a storm, like a small boat in the stormy waves, and I am the one who is paddling hard. Of course I didn't want this boat to capsize. If possible, I would like to hold the boat until the wind calms down, and then repair it to a new look. But I know that my strength is very small, and whether the Qing Dynasty can survive depends on whether the winds and waves around me agree. But I'll do my best. I deeply feel that my ability and prestige are limited, and I hope that His Majesty the Emperor Jiade will become a symbol and a source of cohesion for the Qing Dynasty in this extraordinary period. And I myself will make every effort to bring about the reform of the Qing Dynasty in the shortest possible time.

"As for the positioning of the relationship with the Ming Dynasty, I think like this: I hope that the Ming Dynasty can allow the Qing Dynasty to keep the remaining land and retain the Aixin Jueluo royal family as a national symbol. The Qing Dynasty will pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, reduce the emperor to the king, and the empire to the kingdom. In the future, the Qing Empire was renamed the 'Great Qing Kingdom', and the 'His Majesty the Qing Emperor' was renamed 'His Majesty the King of the Great Qing Dynasty'. Following the example of Siam, it became a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty insists that the 'Manchu Qing' regime cannot be allowed to exist, then we can also consider accepting the change of the country's name, abolishing the imperial family, and establishing a republic. ”

……

As soon as this sentence was finished, the scene was in an uproar, and the reporters were all noisily vying to ask questions. Mu Hu ordered one of them.

"General Mu, I'm from The Times. You say you might depose the royal family and establish a republic. If you could really agree on this, what changes would you make? And what role do you intend to play in the new government? ”

This Mu Hu was completely prepared, and he had already memorized the manuscript.

He smiled confidently and said:

"There are still very few republics in the world today, and there are none in Asia. But it is inevitable for a republic to replace a monarchy. If we were lucky enough to survive the tracks and guns of the Ming army, then we would have become the first republic in Asia. We will follow the example of the United States of America, learn from her, introduce true democracy and freedom, and strive to be a beacon of freedom in the East. We will abolish the Military Aircraft Department and let the Cabinet really work. Establish an independent judicial system, and at the same time establish a parliament to achieve three powers, separation of powers, and independence. We will immediately abolish all the privileges of the banner people and truly realize the equality of the Manchus and Hans. With iron-blooded determination, we will put an end to corruption, corruption, and corruption within one year. We will abolish all labor camps, abolish the road strip system, and open all borders. From now on, nationals will move freely within the country and enter and exit the country freely. We will also remove all publication censorship and restrictions on speech.

"Some people may suspect that I want to practice military dictatorship like in Latin America. No, it's the opposite. In order to avoid a relapse into dictatorship, we are considering a more stable 'dualist system', with one president and one prime minister. The president is the head of the state, and as the symbol of the state, he is responsible for the ceremonial affairs of the state. The Prime Minister is the head of the government and is responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the government. The state and government brains are split into two people to avoid possible personal centralization. This is not the same as the 'monist' president of the United States. Because our people-Lord is younger and more vulnerable.

"The president is directly elected by the people, from millionaires to ordinary farmers, one person, one vote. The prime minister, on the other hand, is nominated from within the winning party. As for which party wins, it depends on who has the most seats in parliament. And who has the most seats is also determined by the votes in the hands of the people. Please note that our parliament will be a real parliament, not a parliament like an ornament in a 'certain country', where the cabinet and the royal family are in charge...... With us, who is in power and who is not in power is decided by the votes of the people. Even I am no exception.

"Her Majesty the Empress of Nanming has a famous saying, I believe many people have heard of it: We fought against the Qing Dynasty, not to occupy land and resources, but so that the people in the north do not need to flee south. Now, the purpose of this war in the mouth of Her Majesty the Empress of the Ming Dynasty has been achieved. The biggest obstacle to the reform of the Qing Dynasty was also overthrown by my own hands. After the defeat in the war, we have learned the hard way and are now about to embark on a radical reform that has never been seen before. The degree to which we pursue the Constitution and the Democratic, as well as the courage to do so, will surpass the present Ming Dynasty. We will achieve universal suffrage within a year. At this point, I dare to say, the Ming Empire has been left behind by us.

"Now I will say: Your Majesty, if the purpose of your war is really to make the people happier, then please stop, and don't let your tanks come again. As long as you allow our new regime to live, you will see in a few years that there will be a more democratic-sovereign and happier country in this land than the Ming Dynasty...... On the other hand, if you're not fighting for the people, but for more land and resources, let your tanks go ahead. Let the people of this land become subjects of a country where the royal family and the cabinet rule everything!

"If Her Majesty the Empress is really unwilling to let go of our nascent regime, we will not resist. We are now too weak, and in order to save our people from calamity, I will order the troops to cease their resistance and let the Ming army enter the city. As for me, I will be relieved of all my duties and will spend my life in shame. - Because of my incompetence, I did not put the people on a better path. ”

After Mu Hu finished speaking, he looked very excited and his mouth was dry. He looked around proudly, picked up his teacup and took a few sips. No one around spoke, no one applauded, just the lights kept flashing.

……

This news that shocked the world spread all over the world with the radio waves, and almost the entire Ming Empire heard it.

In the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Zhu Yourong sat at the radio, listening to the radio waves from Beijing, his face red and white.

"I ...... I ......"

She tried to say something several times, but couldn't.

Inside the headquarters of the People's Guard, Fourteen Gege also listened to the radio. At this moment, her face was pale, and she was even more ugly than Zhu Yourong.

"......I see," she murmured, "I see...... Blame had to reply to my telegram...... Now, I actually know it from the radio......"

In Xuzhou, in the Northern Command, Xiang Xiaoqiang listened to the radio, slapped the table and scolded:

"I'll do it!! It turns out that we have supported it for a long time, and this is what we supported!! …… Damn, we worked hard to get to the city of Beijing, and asked this kid to say a few cheap words, and he *** took advantage of us! ”

In Nanjing and Xuzhou, Xiang Xiaoqiang and Fourteen Gege slowly said three words at the same time:

"Did He ......"

……

However, Mu Hu's voice came out of the radio again:

"I also know that many people in the Ming Empire will think that the Ming army has worked hard to fight under the city of Beijing, but now Mu Hu has a few cheap words and stands on the moral high ground...... I'm going to say to you, it's not cheap. In order to overthrow the tyrant Guangwu, for more than a year, I risked being exterminated by my family, carefully prepared, and tried to assassinate the coup d'état several times, and only now did I finally succeed...... Let me ask the generals of the Ming army, it is very hard for you to command the army to fight, but who is at the risk of raiding the family and exterminating the clan? If I have the courage to overthrow the tyrant at the risk of extermination, am I not determined to purge vested interests and bring about radical reform? Is this more dangerous than me overthrowing the tyrant?

"I also know that by saying this now, I am putting myself in a dangerous position. A lot of people even wanted to kill me...... If you kill me, you can promise to make the same radical reforms as I do, then go ahead and kill me! I'll kill you! It's just that I, Muhu, did not die at the hands of tyrants, but died at the hands of people who have always taken the 'liberation of the people of the north' as their mission, and I will feel sad. ”

……

In Nanjing and Xuzhou, Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shishige were stunned again. They pondered, and at the same time said to themselves:

"What to do......?"
