This group of freshly dressed dignitaries saw a black, melon-sized object coming straight towards them, and in an instant their heads seemed to have lost the ability to think, and they could only watch as it crossed a graceful arc in the air and landed heavily on the floor in the middle of the crowd.

The firing pin strikes, detonates the explosive, and "boom-"

In the loud noise, the carriage of the float seemed to have been bitten by a violent beast, revealing a terrifying hole, and the fragments of wood chips, flesh and blood, and rags were rushed out by the explosion of air waves, ** to the body of the send-off person on the platform, and it was a crying father and shouting mother. The glass of the carriage near the float was shattered, and many people fell to the ground because they were unstable on their feet.

Standing nearby to see him off, when he saw the explosion, he was already scared out of his body, and he didn't care about decency, so he found a safe place nearby. Standing farther away, not knowing what was going on inside, he hurriedly stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to look inside. After knowing that there was a terrorist attack, I was afraid and happy, and even a few people gossiped with a burning heart: there is a good show to watch, I don't know which master is obedient this time?

Sure enough, just after the explosion, I heard a terrible and somewhat out-of-tune voice coming from the broken float: "Lord Wang-"

Everyone's hearts trembled: Lord Wang? Which prince was in the car? Something big is wrong

If the send-off people are just worried, then Xu Shichang, who fell to the ground at the end of the carriage, even has the heart to die. Because he knew that this prince was Prince Su Shanqi, one of the iron hat kings of the Qing Dynasty

It is said that this good old man is an important minister of the Manchu clan in the late Qing Dynasty. He praised the constitutional movement and was a very rare enlightened person among the Manchu nobles. And the auxiliary state Gong Zaize also has a positive attitude towards the constitution, and as an important minister of the clan, he once played a secret report to the Empress Dowager Cixi to announce the constitution. Because they both praised the constitution, the two were very close.

In terms of generation, Shanqi is longer than Zai Ze; In terms of title, Shanqi is a hereditary prince, and Zai Ze is just an auxiliary prince; is age, Shanqi is also ten years older than Zai Ze. It seems that no matter from these perspectives, there is no need for Shanqi to condescend to see off Zai Ze in person. But-everything is afraid of the word "but" - people Zaize married a wife well, the wife is the eldest daughter of the Empress Dowager Cixi's second brother Guixiang Jingrong, and Jingrong's sister is the queen of Emperor Guangxu, that is, the Empress Dowager Longyu during the Xuantong period. Make friends by not being good at bending down. Therefore, this time, Zai Ze went abroad to investigate politics, and he was easy to accept and send.

Seeing that Shanqi came to Zai Ze, Duanfang and Shaoying, who were also flag people, could still accompany the last seat, but Xu Shichang and Dai Hongci couldn't sit still, and under the pretext of discussing something, they hid at the other end of the carriage with interest. Who would have expected that in just a moment, the assassins would come to the door and go to the sea, and a group of flag men were thrown bombs, and the dead and wounded were unknown; The two Han Chinese were unharmed and unharmed. What do you make the suspicious Empress Dowager Cixi think? What do you make that group of Eight Flags disciples with stomachs and brainless thoughts?

All kinds of different thoughts flashed in his mind, and Xu Shichang also went through a big battle. Back then, when Yuan Shikai was training at a small station, he was Yuan's important adviser, and now he is a squire in the military department, so he is not too afraid of bomb explosions. When he was in his fifties, he crawled to the scene of the explosion, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a Goshha holding the body of Prince Su Shanqi, his eyes were empty and there was no trace of brilliance. When I looked closely, I saw that Shanqi's abdomen had been blasted into a big hole, and his internal organs flowed all over the ground, and he was already too dead to die anymore.

Xu Shichang's scalp was numb, knowing that this matter would never be able to give up, but his mind cleared up, and he hurriedly shouted: "What about the guards?" Where did the death go? Five or six people came in two groups, and sent the adults to the hospital as soon as possible, and the others were loaded with guns and ammunition to suppress the situation, and everyone in the station was not allowed to move around at will, and there was no forgiveness for violators."

After listening to Xu Shichang's instructions, everyone immediately found the backbone and took separate actions.

Although Shanqi had already driven to the west, everyone did not dare to say that he was dead, so they had to quickly take off their robes and carry the body to the hospital. Zai Ze, who is closest to Shanqi, is also blurred in flesh and blood, and for a while, he has more air out and less air intake, and he is about to die. Duan Fang and Shao Ying sat a little far away because of avoiding suspicion and the difference in identity, and they escaped by luck, but they were only slightly injured.

Shaoying, the right of the Ministry of Commerce, was called a "well-known timid and fearful person" in Pu Yi's book "The First Half of My Life", but this time he didn't know whether he was frightened or shocked by a bomb, and he actually passed out. When the guards carried him, he suddenly woke up, only to see him waving his bloody hands around and screaming loudly, "Where is my head?" Where's my head? Ahh

In contrast, the Hunan Governor Duanfang's Qi cultivation kung fu was obviously much deeper, and he reluctantly got up and said: "I'm fine, don't worry about it, I'll send Prince Su, Fuguo Gong, and Master Shao to the hospital as soon as possible."

After sending a few important people to the hospital, Dai Hongci walked over from the carriage dizzily, with a few wisps of blood on his head, thinking that he kowtowed when he fell. Xu Shichang and Duan Fang ignored the sesame officials and servants who were all over the country, and at the same time went over to check on the assassins.

Wu Yue was hit by several bursts of shrapnel in the abdomen, and even one of them was directly inserted into the heart, so he died for a long time, but he had a happy smile on his face. As for Zhang Rong, because he didn't squeeze into the car at all, and with Yang Dusheng's cover, at the beginning of the explosion, he took advantage of the chaos to escape.

After the incident, the whole city of Beijing was under martial law and entered a state of emergency. The Empress Dowager Cixi was even more furious, throwing countless pots and pans and canes in the palace and scolding countless palace maids and eunuchs, but there was nothing to be done. In addition to ordering the crackdown within a time limit, the old woman was afraid that she would become the next target, so in order to prevent the assassins from throwing bombs through the wall, she sent people to raise the wall of the Summer Palace overnight. Now when you go to the Summer Palace, careful people can also find that the top three feet of the wall of the north palace gate of the Summer Palace are somewhat different from the lower half, which was added after the order of Cixi after Wu Yue's assassination.

Three or four days passed before Sun Yuanqi got the exact news of Wu Yue's martyrdom from the newspaper. However, in the news, Wu Yue's name became "Wu Yue". This is a common trick of the feudal dynasty, and all those who rebel and rebel are good names must be destroyed, usually by adding sides, followed by changing the word. When we look at "Qing Shilu" now, we can find that there are many strange names in it: Hong Xiuquan (Hong Xiuquan), Hong Daquan (Hong Daquan), Hong Qianda (Hong Renda), Lin Fengxiang (Lin Fengxiang), Xiao Chaohui (Xiao Chaogui), Chen Yucheng (Chen Yucheng), Li Xiucheng (Li Xiucheng), Lan Chaoding (Lan Chaoding), Zhang Luoxing (Zhang Luoxing), Ma Huayi (Ma Hualong), ......

Perhaps, this is Ah Q's spiritual victory method

In the newspaper, the two most prominent figures who were killed by Wu Yue were highlighted: Prince Su Shanqi and Fuguo Gong Zaize. Sun Yuanqi indulged in the sadness after Wu Yue's martyrdom, and these two people, as Wu Yue's fruitful results, were only glanced at a few times and swept away. But if Sun Yuanqi is familiar with this history, he will be very surprised by this result: because in the original history, in the assassination of Wu Yue, only Shao Ying was seriously injured and bled a lot, and it was not fatal, and the others were fine

In the Analects, it is said: "Life and death have fate, and wealth is in heaven." "Heaven and destiny are a very strange thing. The so-called "Mandate of Heaven" is explained by current science, which is a result of the synthesis of factors such as the surrounding environment, the background of the times, personal emotions, academic literacy, physical condition, and so on. This result is somewhat similar to "Schrödinger's cat", which is uncertain between not appearing, and any change in any factor, or a disturbance in the outside world, will lead to a variable result. However, once all the factors are determined, then the Destiny is unique

Now, Sun Yuanqi's role is the sudden external disturbance. However, this butterfly, who ventured into the game, was not familiar with modern Chinese history, otherwise he would have considered the following questions when reading the newspaper:

Without Zai Ze, these people could not go abroad to investigate, so where would the constitutional monarchy of the Qing Dynasty go?

Without Shanqi, after Wang Jingwei plotted to assassinate the regent and was arrested and imprisoned in the second year of Xuantong, who would exempt Wang Jingwei from death?

Without Shanqi, there would be no Yoshiko Kawashima; Without Yoshiko Kawashima, Pu Yi would not have been able to escape from Tianjin, so what would happen to the puppet Manchukuo?

……

Shanqi and Zai Ze are the leading figures in the Eight Banners. His death sparked a fierce debate within the Qing court: whether or not to implement a constitutional monarchy?

The opposition, which had been worried that the constitutional monarchy would deprive the flag bearers of their privileges, is now even more menacing with two fierce rivals. In their opinion, the ancestors became the law and the immutable Eight Banners system cannot be abolished Since the Han people dare to rebel, we should take out the posture of entering the customs from the dragon back then, and come to Yangzhou for ten days and three slaughters in Jiading, to see if the bones of the Han people are hard, or the knives of our banner people are hard

Naturally, the intellectuals scoffed at this brainless idea: What age is it? Since the head has been shaved, the flag people have long been unable to ride horses, can not carry guns, now mention "Manchu and Han family, constitutional monarchy", people ** party is not happy, if you dare to mention Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three massacres, no need to fight, the head will have to be cut off

The argument finally reached the old lady Cixi. As a strong woman who has been at the helm of this huge empire for more than 40 years, her political wisdom is far beyond that of her peers, and she is well aware of the truth that "what the enemy opposes is what we must insist on". More than 10 days after the assassination, he issued an edict announcing the dispatch of a higher-level political delegation to the sea, which would soon set off. In addition to the original Duanfang, Xu Shichang, and Dai Hongci, the members of the regiment also selected Beizi, Shangshu Zaizhen of the Ministry of Commerce, and Tie Liang, Minister of Military Aircraft.

Not long after, Cixi ordered the establishment of the Patrol Police Department, the Investigation Political Center, the Academic Department and other institutions, and the drastic changes in China's political system in the 20th century officially began, embarking on a path of exploration that no one knew the results of.
