Yuan Datou returned to Beijing to resume his post, and as expected, he personally led the Beiyang Army to recover Ezhou, and the Qing court cheered, and Yuan Datou was immediately promoted to prime minister.

The Qing court expected him to make persistent efforts to cross the Yangtze River in one fell swoop and ban the Nanjing Nationalist Government, but he did not move and secretly sent a telegram to Sun Wen to discuss peace.

Sun Wen was concerned that his military strength was not the opponent of the Beiyang Army, and he telegraphed that as long as the Qing emperor abdicated, the democratically elected president was implemented, and a republican government was established, he would accept the peace negotiations.

Yuan Datou took the opportunity to propose that if he was made president, everything could be done, and Sun Wen accepted Yuan Datou's conditions in full despite the strong opposition of the Legislative Yuan.

Yuan Datou received a call back from Sun Wen in Beijing, and immediately kicked away the last emperor Puyi, forcing him to abdicate on his own, and the Qing Empire ended.

Yuan Datou has never done a few upright things in his life, but this one is a great thing that the whole world celebrates and makes great achievements in the annals of history.

The sky after the rain is clear and refreshing. Boss Shen's sand boat docked at Guangfu Wharf, and Xianghai, Fusheng and Zhao Da hurriedly disembarked and stepped onto the dark and broken stone road, through the dilapidated and bustling alleys, and past the Guangfu Teahouse.

Guangfu Teahouse is located in the east of the Cross Bridge, backed by the Pidgin River, every morning begins to be bustling and lively, and will continue until noon will not rest, but today is the afternoon, the teahouse is still very lively, the wisps of tea in the sound of conversation, greetings, coughing, running the hall shouts, tea guests tearing their throats to argue and the pot of water when boiling

The sound of "grunting" is intertwined, and it can be heard from afar. Unlike usual, the teahouse's façade was half obscured by a dilapidated tent.

This diagonally bracing tent was erected by the shaving shop in the east, the tent was very large, the shaving shop was not big enough, the tent was set up on one side to the teahouse, and the other side was set up to the noodle shop, and the shopkeepers had no opinion, because they were happy, and the head shaving shop owner set up a stall under the tent to cut braids.

There is a square stool under the tent, and the owner of the shaving shop personally holds scissors

"Click" empty cuts, shouted: "Come, come, come, cut braids and send meat noodles!" On the ground beside him, there have been a pile of long and short braids, on a table, there are seven or eight bowls of steaming wheat noodles, each bowl of noodles has a piece of big meat in it, the noodle soup is floating with shallots, the fragrance is overflowing, the noodle shop owner is still serving noodles, and the teahouse is also drinking tea for free.

It turned out that it was the head shaving shop, the teahouse, and the noodle shop that united to cut braids for the revolutionary army's propaganda. Xianghai and Fusheng have completed three years of primary school in the public school, and are about to enter secondary school in the next year, due to the turbulence of the times, it is not Sunday, and the school is also closed, they take the sand boat of the Fusheng family back to Guangfu.

It took a whole day to get from the city to the countryside, and along the way, there were people cutting braids everywhere on both sides of the river, and revolutionary soldiers in military uniforms went in and out of peasant homes, wielding scissors to cut braids.

The faces of those who were forced to cut off their braids on the bench were like ashes, and they let out a howl like killing pigs; Those who voluntarily cut their braids danced and cut their braids in celebration.

The boat passed under the Yunzaobang Bridge, and Xianghai saw that the stone pillars on both sides of the bridge were pasted with notices of the Republic of China, and asked the boatmen to stop here, and he went ashore to inspect the notices.

The proclamation was to the effect that the Manchu emperor had abdicated, the Republic of China had been established for several months, the country pursued the Three People's Principles, and that everything was decided by the people, and that the braids that symbolized the Qing Dynasty government should no longer be dragged on, and that the workers, peasants, soldiers, scholars, and merchants should all have their braids cut off.

On the other side of the stone pillar is the "Braids Cutting Order", Xianghai took off the "Braids Order" and tucked it in his arms, returned to the boat and raised the notice in his hand and said: "Let's cut it too!" Didn't the school tell us to go home and cut our braids? Zhao Da clapped his hands in agreement, and immediately went to get the scissors, but Fusheng said: "It's better to go back to Guangfu to see the situation, if you want to cut it, you have to go back to Guangfu Town to cut it, and the braid can't be cut safely, in case the world changes back, although it won't kill your head, it's better to be cautious." "Although Fusheng is more than ten years older than Zhao, he is three years older than Xianghai, and he is old and stable by nature, not as impulsive as Xianghai.

Xianghai thinks about it is not unreasonable, after all, he stayed on the ship all day, as the saying goes, one day in the cave is a thousand years in the world, it seems that the world has changed, but I don't know what has become.

The ship docked in Guangfu, only the autumn wind was blowing, and no one forced to cut the braids. When the three of them went ashore, they passed by the shaving shop, and saw that the owner of the shaving shop was shouting to cut the braids, and there were officials under the tent to guide them, so they were convinced that the boat was moving in the water and that the world had changed.

The three of them walked into the tent, and Zhao Da sat on the stool first and beckoned to the shaved boss: "Boss, cut your braids!" The owner of the shaving shop came up behind him, pinched his braid with one hand and asked, "Cut it short or keep it long?" Zhao Da looked at the crowd of onlookers and said, "Cut it short, you see how refreshing it is for people to cut it short!" Most of the onlookers had their hair cut, and some laughed and said, "It's just too cool and not tolerant of cold winds." Zhao Da waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just get used to it, cut it!" The boss cut off his hand, and Zhao Da's braid was cut off and thrown on the ground.

Zhao Da shouted

"I'm hungry" got up and picked up a bowl of meat noodles,

"Snoring" eats well. When it was Xianghai's turn, the owner of the shaving shop had already gone to cut the braids for others, and Xianghai simply brought the scissors

"Click" to solve it yourself, pile up

On the "Braided Mountain", pick up the noodle bowl and eat noodles.
